I'm 8 hours ahead of you Flosey

1:40 am

1:41 am

Saturday, I hope, because I'm off to a textile course

1:41 am

sorry, jumping the gun, it's been a full day here and am losing track

1:42 am

hi flosey long time no see

1:42 am

glad about that, it wouldn;t have surprised me to have lost a day LOL

1:42 am

I carpet bowl every Friday morning, and had to rush home to be ready for a 1: pm game of bridge here with the ladies team, and serve refreshment

1:43 am

hi sandyloo, yes a long, long time

1:43 am

that is what one daughter calls my daughter Sandra Louise

1:43 am

gosh, all those Su words and I can't find a single one - why is sunbed invalid, I wonder?

1:44 am

I have been distracted from babble for a long time we have shifted and have brought a farm in margaret river

1:44 am

8 of them start with su* (as below)

1:44 am

I see new faces here and stilll lots of old ones which is great

1:45 am

wow, that is quite an undertaking

1:45 am

hi glantarell

1:45 am

is it a large farm? do you have animals?

1:45 am

hi sandy

1:45 am

where in australia?

1:45 am

the farm is definitely an undertaking and has no buildings so we are in the process of earthworks\

1:46 am

preparing garden for vegies etc

1:46 am

yes glant it is in western australia and is in our beautiful wine district

1:46 am

oh, planting grapes?

1:47 am

i visited freemantle & perth once, nicest city in australia of the ones i visited

1:47 am

Flo that is one of our projects to get a vege garden and an orchard going

1:47 am

no grapes tho , they are too much work

1:47 am

great, hard work but nothing like a meal freshly picked

1:48 am

Glad you liked it here Glantarell , I do like Sydney and I also like tasmania and queensland

1:49 am

it looks like a quarry at the moment with all the dirt they are shifting around

1:49 am

hubby retired and became a farmer - have an old orchard and he has also planted a lot more

1:49 am

I think growing edibles is very rewarding

1:50 am

indeed it is sandy, just read your bio, lots of hard word but you're still young enough to enjoy it

1:50 am

do you ride the horses?

1:51 am

LOL I feel so old lately - I have to go and try to trim my daughter's horse this afternoon = HA I am sooooo old -I find that really hard as I am definitely no farrier

1:52 am

Yes flo I do ride but the ground gets further away each year - do you have a few acres?

1:52 am

down to 85, and have to get ready for my course, see you later

1:52 am

bye for now Glant

1:53 am

and well done

1:53 am

bye for now glant see you again

1:53 am

Ihave 162 left - I definitely am rusty

1:55 am

we have about 12 acres here - about 40 up the mountain but no buildings, it's just part of his Dad's old homestead

1:55 am

flo what is the weather like in Canada?

1:55 am

We have 66 here

1:56 am

all depends on where you are - we've had a very mild winter here on the lower west coast, parts of Ontario have had heavy snow, I hear - our 2 sons are still in Ontario

1:57 am

I believe there is a big storm coming to new york - I dream of snow it is hot here

1:57 am

only had a smattering of snow that didn't last

1:57 am

yes, that's probably the snow Toronto and area are getting

1:58 am

Of course we never have any snow here but we do get some good storms as winter approaches

please can i have a clue for the 9

1:58 am

no snow anywhere in Australia?

1:58 am

I don't have it yet Jenny, sorry

1:59 am

snow in victoria and nsw but not wa

1:59 am

I have the 9 what does it begin with?

1:59 am

Hi again - no snow in Queensland!

1:59 am

un

2:00 am

hi liz

2:00 am

Hi sandy :)

2:00 am

ok un = what you might have to do if you cross niagra falls on a tightrope

2:01 am

great clue sandy, thanks

2:01 am

has queensland been hot lately?

2:02 am

Not as hot as it was - we lost power here for 2 days after ex cyclone Oswald passed through.

2:02 am

Around 27 c today

2:03 am

It's cooled down since then

2:03 am

I live in Margaret River so it is cooler than Perth - it was about 31 today

2:03 am

Nice!

2:03 am

Perth is to get 41 tomorrow so they say

2:03 am

Some great wines from there

2:03 am

Too hot

2:03 am

Too hot ,

2:04 am

and Liz, you can bet I enjoy them!

2:04 am

Good clue for the 9 ty

2:05 am

I'll get out there one day. Only been in Aus 4 years. Became an Aussie on Australia Day this year.

2:05 am

where were you from and welcome to aus

2:06 am

London - and ty

2:07 am

I have been to London my daughter got married to a Pom in Hertfordshire last October and we had a big wedding there

2:07 am

Lived near Barnet which is in Hertfordshire.

2:07 am

I love England it is so picturesque and the weather is great - cool and rainy!

2:08 am

The wedding was at a place called Leez Priory

2:08 am

Have to say I don't miss the weather but I do miss friends and family.

2:08 am

Not a place I know!

2:09 am

My daughter and her husband live here so that's why we had the wedding over there - but I would miss my family too

2:10 am

My hubby's an Aussie and it was the right time for us to make the move. No regrets!

2:11 am

I'm glad for you, Aus is great too and I love Queensland - my sister in law lives in Malaney

2:12 am

I love it too

2:14 am

must get to bed, after 12: goodnight all

2:15 am

goodnite flo greatto see you again

2:15 am

Night flosey, sleep well :)

2:15 am

thanks, enjoyed

2:28 am

sandyloo - are you still here? It's nice to see you again, it's been a long time.

2:29 am

Hi haz, great to see you too!! so nice that there are still some oldies here

2:29 am

I have been busy and we have shifted to a farm in margaret river

2:29 am

Not so much of the old! Yes, still some of us around. When was the last time you babbled?

2:31 am

Not for ages!! I was wasting toomuch time but now I will have a bit more time so I decided to reenter the world of cyber space and besides , I missed you all

2:31 am

How's your daughter? She was having problems with her shoulder.

2:32 am

she still is Haz, she has had a fusion done and it is marginally better - she is not going up tot he hospital with a dislocation allthetime- she still says it is painful but not so much i'm sure

2:33 am

Nice of you to remember

2:33 am

I'm glad some progress has been made even if it's not perfect.

2:33 am

I remember your fights with the rooster as well!

2:34 am

I think shoulder joints are the most difficult to repair and we dont have any roosters at the moment because we have only moved to this farm not long ago and are in the processes of building everything

2:35 am

those roosters were the pits

2:35 am

Nobody could accuse you of doing things the easy way, that's for sure. Have you a timeframe for the place being habitable?

2:37 am

LOL we are building , first a shed, then two chalets and then much later down the track a big house- however the chalets will be ready this year and hopefully the shed will be done by march

2:38 am

our youngest daughter and her new husband have gone halves in the property- it is 66 acres and so there is a lot of work to be done

2:38 am

She got married in England last year and we all went over for a gorgeous wedding

2:39 am

I hope all goes smoothly but from what I've seen of 'Grand Designs' building is always a bit of a lottery. I suppose it adds to the excitement.

2:39 am

Goodness, that's a long trip for a wedding but I'm sure it was worth it!

2:39 am

We had a daughter married in August 2011 but it was just up the road.

2:40 am

At the moment it is like a quarry while they move the earth around, - they are living here so we decided to have the wedding there and it was fantastic

2:40 am

it was at Leez Priory in Hertfordshire you can google it

2:40 am

Googling....

2:41 am

They had the works- fireworks and everything

2:41 am

It's GORGEOUS!

2:42 am

It was amazing! a 14th century building and they did a great job of the wedding with fantastic food - it was truly amazing

2:43 am

I'm glad that it was such a good experience for you - very happy memories, I'm sure.

2:44 am

It was greatand allthe kids got to go to england and we also went to

2:44 am

Spainfor a week

2:45 am

Had you been to Europe before?

2:46 am

Yes, we went to England in 2011 (lots of travel in the last 2 years) we drove to Scotland Wales and all around England it was great! I love haggis and black pudding

2:46 am

We also went to Paris for a few days

2:47 am

Now of course we are poverty stricken

2:47 am

Travelling isn't cheap, that's for sure.

2:48 am

Neither are weddings

2:48 am

Did you make it to Edinburgh? I have a soft spot for it.

2:49 am

Yes we loved Edinburgh and we stayed in a beautiful B&B there- I loved the hillyness of it (if there is such a word!

2:50 am

I loved everywhere and I loved the weather- we were there in May and it was just like our winter

2:50 am

I was at university in Edinburgh and met my husband there, but even apart from that it's just a beautiful city.

2:50 am

It sure is! There is a lot of beauty in the whole of the UK

2:51 am

Yes, May can often be better than later on in our summer.

2:51 am

Well, you'll know that there's even more to explore when you come again.

2:52 am

I just loved the whole trip - I loved the history of the place- We would never run out of places to see

2:53 am

I think we take an awful lot for granted and it's only when visitors come that you realise just how beautiful and historic it is.

morning :)

2:54 am

Good morning, sarah.

2:54 am

Australia is lovely but it does not have the history- it made me feel how young our country is. hi sarah

2:55 am

sandyloo, I don't know if you've kept in touch with babblers by e-mail? I'm wondering if you knew that FMitch is no longer with us.

2:56 am

What do you mean? I don't know about this

2:57 am

FMitch was very ill and died in November 2011.

2:57 am

Oh that is soo sad, how old was she? That is really sad.

2:58 am

She was 52 when she died. She needed a liver transplant but died before it could happen. It was terribly sad and I miss her so much as we were in contact by e-mail a lot and then by phone when she was in hospital.

3:00 am

I remember her well of course - That is so terrible- it is sad that people don't donate their organs more- I always tell my kids that I want to donate no matter how sad they are! 52 is way too young!

3:02 am

Last I was here was about the time when we were sending the chicken soup to the girl who lost her husband and about the time of the scandalous JC

3:03 am

He continues to cause waves every now and again, even quite recently. Or maybe I should say that waves are caused on his behalf.

3:04 am

You've got a bit of catching up to do!

3:04 am

I must say that all scandal aside, I enjoyed the banter that went on in the chat and I will have some catching up to do

3:05 am

To be honest, there's a lot less banter than there used to be. Chat just isn't the same.

3:05 am

Morning all. Welcome back sandy.

3:06 am

Look! There's Jacula - good morning!

3:06 am

Hi Jac! So many of you oldies still here - Oldies but goldies!

3:07 am

hello

3:07 am

Can I excuse myself and head off? I've got to get ready to go out and the way I look just now won't cut it.

3:07 am

Morning. I saw you chatting and thought I'd say hello. As Haz said, chat isn't quite the same but many of us keep in touch off the chog.

3:07 am

Lovely to chat Haz - will see you again no doubt

3:07 am

See you later Haz. I'm sure you won't need to gild the lily much. x

3:08 am

Hi peri.

3:08 am

And here's peri. I'll see you again, sandyloo. Bye for now. (I'll not do the full Barbara Cartland look this morning)

3:08 am

Jac, I am glad to see you all again- Hi Peri

3:08 am

Lol at Haz and Cartland look. :-)

3:10 am

Sandy - I'm glad your travels went well. I'm afraid I'm going to have to head off now, too. Need to get my shopping list done and go to shops before the snow that's falling causes road chaos and panic buying. :-)

I didn't manage to get the 9 from the last clue please could I have another one.

3:11 am

and I will be off too Jac but lovely to see you again - I need some wine as it is wine o'clock here

3:11 am

'Bye Sandy. Nice to see you again. Enjoy your wine.x

3:12 am

Jenny - un+ if you have this kind of mind it willserve you well when you cross niagra falls on a tightrope when you need the same thing

3:13 am

6:29 am

6:48 am

6:50 am

South East, Sandyloo.

6:51 am

ok and hi zooz I haven't been toKent, I wondered where it was

6:51 am

and I haven't been to the isle of white either

6:53 am

Summer time is nice over here...winter..i wouldn't bother..as it is seasonal..most things close down.

6:53 am

summer is hot here but winter has a lot of charm! that's what i think anyway

6:54 am

I love the climate in England but I have never lived there and never experienced the snow

6:56 am

Snow is nice to look at..even be in for a short while..but for me the novelty soon wears off..lol

6:57 am

and believe me zooz , the novelty of sunshine soon wears off when it is 42degrees c

6:58 am

but Aus is a lovely place to live - great food and great beaches but Enlgland is beautiful too

6:58 am

Yes i can imagine it does..especially if you cannot cool down.

6:59 am

that is for sure, you can run naked around the paddock but you will still never be cool - you can always put on extra clothes and be warm!!

6:59 am

ahhh, nothing like babble with tons of snow

7:00 am

hello hurshy

7:00 am

hello

7:01 am

We have a programme on t.v called something like 'life downunder' where Brits can try out for a week in Australia to see if they would like to pack up and move for good...the places always look so nice.

7:01 am

Hello, Hurshy.

7:01 am

sounds like an unfair test if they put them somewhere nicer than they could actually afford :)

7:02 am

Zooz Aus is fabulous but then again we travelled all over england and it was fabulous as well

7:02 am

Thats the thing.they try out jobs similar to what they have here...work out the cost of living and so on.

7:02 am

it was so green and picturesque

7:02 am

ah well that's ok then

7:03 am

i already know, england yes, australia no

7:03 am

I always say the grass seems greener on the other side, Sandyloo.

7:03 am

the world has a lot to offer

7:04 am

is sandyloo actually here?

7:04 am

That is true.

7:04 am

no it's a mirage

7:04 am

Yay Ruby - I am!!!

7:04 am

Hello, Ruby.

7:05 am

I always know I am in the right place when I check into a conversation about someone running naked with sheep.

7:05 am

I saw your back earlier but just missed your actualy presence!

7:05 am

Lol Molly I didn't say I was with a sheep

7:05 am

{{zoozz}}

7:05 am

lol hello, Molly.

7:05 am

I missed the naked sheep :(

7:06 am

No sheep in the paddock?

7:06 am

((((((hugs to you)))))Ruby

7:06 am

Ruby , How is the weather in France?

7:06 am

hi all

7:07 am

Actually molly we are going to get some sheep very soon

7:07 am

How much snow did you get, Hurshy..i was watching the news earlier and a lot of places in the US have declared a state of emergency.

7:07 am

Hi Medusa

7:07 am

Hello, Medusa.

7:07 am

hi sandy

7:07 am

hi zoom

7:08 am

oh it's hard to tell since the wind has blown and drifted it

7:09 am

we had serious snow this week, the most we've had in years, the kind that is wet and covers the trees but is very pretty. Unfortunately, the tulips are up underneath all that so we'll see if damage was done

7:09 am

over a foot anyway. they SAY it is still snowing now but i do not see flakes myself.

7:09 am

Well i hope you stay safe & warm, Hurshy.

7:09 am

here, they're very blase (Fr word?) about snow

7:09 am

I saw snow falling in

7:09 am

yeah blizzards are usually fine as long as you don't drive in them.

7:10 am

scotland but only for a few minutes

7:10 am

and staying in the house in front of the fire is always a great option

7:10 am

I saw some photographs of bad highway pile ups in Massachusetts. Why people feel the need to go out driving in a blizzard, I do not know.

7:10 am

well molly they might be nurses and people who are told to come to work no matter what?

7:11 am

They are saying here on the news that New York is in for a bad time

7:11 am

Scotland can see large amounts of snow..but normally the south of England sees no where near as much.

7:11 am

I had better call my sister in NY

7:11 am

I loved Scotland and the haggis and black pudding

7:12 am

Ruby, I didn't know you had a sister!

7:12 am

yes, she lives in Forest Hills, is older and sends me lots of mail but I never see her

7:12 am

you loved HAGGIS? sandy, you are the most positive life-loving person i have ever encountered.

7:14 am

we've all missed you in babble, sandy!

7:15 am

Now Ruby , how can you speak for everyone ( I believe you tho)

7:15 am

you bring OZ sunshine into the chog

7:15 am

Hurshy , Haggis and black pudding and smoked salmon in Scotland is to die for!!!

7:16 am

you know what's great? ritz bits peanut butter crackers.

7:16 am

I must say it is great to see so many oldies here still

7:17 am

<--Not an oldie, goes to sit in corner

7:17 am

I guess I really have missed Babble

7:17 am

<-- never had haggis but loves black pudding and have had it in US, SA, France, England -- everyplace theye use all of the pig!

7:17 am

Yes that does sound nice, Hurshy.

7:17 am

<-- loves Molly

7:18 am

I've developed a peanute allergy (at my age!) in the last year!

7:18 am

oh dear ruby, i hope that never happens to me!

7:18 am

the black pudding in scotland tasted different and much better than in england- I still liked the food had in England tho

7:19 am

I do not like black pudding myself.

7:19 am

omg Ruby how did that happen, tho I know that you can develop allergies at any age - let's hope you don't develop an allergy to the Tour

7:19 am

sandy is there anything you DON'T like?

7:20 am

since we moved here, I've developed 4 new allergies, all to foods and very serious and scary. Must be the stress of retirement LOL

7:20 am

Yes I hate crickets - I have a great aversion to mud also

7:20 am

one of these years, Sandy is coming to France to watch the Tour with me. This year, it comes through my village

7:20 am

crickets and mud, ok.

7:21 am

a bawn is totally a thing. it is a protective wall/fence.

7:22 am

oh wow!! I will be sooo jealous and i will definitely be coming LOL and I will need a lot of feeding with your great cooking

7:23 am

when you stand and watch, you mostly see a blue of bright spandex

7:23 am

can you smell the steroids?

7:23 am

but we'll be able to sit on the curb at our local resto when it comes by this year; I've already reserved!

7:24 am

hi zooz xxx

7:25 am

hi hurshy xxx

7:25 am

Ruby you should read your emails

7:26 am

Ruby there are health professionals who believe that emotional blockages that need to be treated can cause food allergens.

7:26 am

uh oh, maybe I'm blocked!

7:26 am

I'm sure stress doesn't help

7:26 am

Sorry, allergies.

7:27 am

mind, body, body, mind. *they shake hands*

7:27 am

stress does not help Ruby and the mind does play a big part no doubt

7:27 am

That's pretty much it Hursh. And many people don't understand the correlation.

7:28 am

I never had an allergy until I divorced my first husband

7:28 am

i never had a migraine til i had my tonsils out

7:28 am

but the food ones are much scarier than the air-borne ones

7:28 am

I quit having migraines when I divorced my first husband.

7:28 am

I never had an allergy until I was about 32 and we had moved to a new town

7:29 am

lol, bzz

7:29 am

this is a hard grid. i think i am allergic to it.

7:29 am

yes I agree Ruby , the food allergies would be very scary

7:29 am

9:09 am

snowy and cold, Ouwachita, and earthquakes in the north, which is very unusual. Otherwise, all is well :) How is life treating you?

9:09 am

I would love to come back and see Keukenhof again

9:09 am

Hello, Ouwachita.

9:14 am

hi zooz

9:14 am

The people were friendly, most spoke English so I didnt have language problems, scenery and history was great and best public transportation in the world...even the food was good.

9:15 am

the netherlands are a good place to live or have a holiday :)

9:16 am

does anyone have the sa8?

9:16 am

only problem I saw was the girls in the red light district were kind of ugly...lol

9:16 am

lol Ouwachita! Some are beautiful. But that kind of life is hard on people.

9:17 am

Good day to all. Has anyone heard from our New England buddies in the snowstorm>

9:17 am

9:17 am

hi Scrabs

9:18 am

Hello, Scrabs!

9:18 am

I went with 23 people from 18-90 years of age...and all of us went to the red light district just to experience the atmosphere

9:18 am

Howdy, howdy.

9:18 am

oh my... did you all see, our Babble dictionary itself is in the grid!

9:18 am

Oh, ty!

9:19 am

Yes got that one, Spritey..lol

9:19 am

ouwachita: when you have the time when vacationing in the netherlands, it is kind of a must-see. But we have much nicer places to visit, luckily.

9:19 am

zooz: and past tense!

9:20 am

one of the nicest places I went to was a village of historic buildings...cant remember the name of it now

9:22 am

was it the Archeon?

9:22 am

in Alphen aan de Rijn?

9:22 am

nope

9:23 am

hm ok, not sure then. Nelis' Dutch Village?

9:23 am

nope

9:23 am

or was it in miniature, in Madurodam?

9:23 am

had windmills and all kinds of different shops and homes...not miniature

9:24 am

ohhh windmills... that might have been near where I live. The Zaanse Schans. In Zaanstad.

9:25 am

Found the SA8 at last.

9:25 am

thats it

9:26 am

nice :) Yes, that is special. The very first shop of Albert Heijn is there too.

9:26 am

Need a link (yes, again) to Babble Express, please

9:26 am

9:34 am

Hello, Welki!

9:35 am

Back from phone call.

9:36 am

morning, scrabb - hope you don't have to travel today

9:37 am

Just to the cross-country ski trails in the park. That takes a few minutes. I will ski and/or snowshoe.

9:39 am

the photo you liked of ellicotville looks like a scene from a dickens novel

9:40 am

everyone survive snowpocalyse?

9:41 am

Hello, Shirlockc.

9:41 am

hi, shirl - did brooklyn get dumped on?

9:41 am

yep

9:41 am

Ellicottville is a village 30 min south of me and is a ski town with 2 large ski resorts there. It is a picturesque village lined with stores and restaurants. I met uusue there 18 months ago when she was driving through.

9:41 am

i'm sure the skiing is great today

9:43 am

There is a ski resort across the valley from me and a group of us from our street had dinner in the restaurant there. The view of the slopes was gorgeous, with the snow falling down hard.

9:46 am

just looked at a map - not even three hours from toronto and only an hour south of buffalo! yet it looks like it's the middle of nowhere :)

9:50 am

Any stats for the A on the 2nd column please?

9:50 am

Yep, but it is in the Alleghany Mtns which are actually the northern Appalachian Mtns. People come from NY, PA and Ohio to ski there. Oh, and lots of Canadians too. There are lodges and homes built on the mountains so people just ski in and out of their homes.

what would you call a rod without worm? Right. But not in En6.

11:06 am

11:06 am

I would call Rod, Rod.

11:07 am

do you have 3 su 7/40

11:07 am

hi BabbleRabble, I am glad to see you. I hope things are a little less dark? And how would you make a distinction between a Rod with a worm and one without?

11:08 am

yes, 3 x su7, all below.

11:08 am

i don't know how many times i've read that post, sprite - and i just don't get it. rod? worm? whose rod? who's rod?!

11:08 am

oh wait. Su7/40 x 2, and su7/44.

11:09 am

there is a su7/44 - part of what a journalist or publisher does

11:09 am

hi welki. I want to have the word unba**ed. Which would be a fishing rod without a worm.

11:09 am

i can't get the last su7/40

11:09 am

the last two su 7/40 are the last two esses

11:09 am

hi Glant. Thanks, yes, I have that one.

12:07 pm

hi peri

12:07 pm

12:07 pm

Hi peri

12:08 pm

ty Molls, trying to spell it correctly

12:08 pm

got the sa8, ty Molls

12:09 pm

For the pedants, a variation of the spelling of Cain's brother.

12:09 pm

bichon, wow, 30 inches. We got about 10 inches but the wind is fierce. I am going to look at my car later and see if it can be dug out today. I doubt it, the wind is awful. I understand Gov. Molloy closed all the roads. Do you still have power?

12:09 pm

Molly, I understand what you mean, but won't take the word. I must have a misspelling

12:10 pm

The drifts were so bad that when I opened the garage door, I could barely see daylight

12:10 pm

we have power, tv and internet. All we need

12:10 pm

I got the word from your clue, Molls

12:10 pm

s + s***n is a shiny fabric + variation of Cain's brother

12:10 pm

okay Molly, got the sa8 ty

12:10 pm

bichon, take it easy today. it is supposed to be warmer tomorrow.

12:10 pm

bichon, change the middle vowel...at least that was my error in spelling it

12:10 pm

not much snow here, thank goodness. No one appears to be shoveling, so I am no either

12:11 pm

And hello all...

12:11 pm

hi Jill

12:11 pm

Good for you Peri. You are not the only one who can pick up a shovel. : )

12:12 pm

12:12 pm

Cheers Peri. *Pours some hair off the dog for Jill*

12:15 pm

I do not know 58 b words

12:15 pm

it's only 14 here and it's only early afternoon

12:15 pm

Well after that, and after what Dorens said about her vet, I am not all that impressed with vets these days.

12:15 pm

way up to 19 degrees f. here

12:16 pm

i am in coastal Maine

12:16 pm

I am not either. they missed a major issue with marigolds cat who died a few months ago

12:17 pm

My friend is in Freeport. She got hammered too.

12:17 pm

Our Babble playing Jes is an exception to that statement.

12:17 pm

yes, i am sure that Freeport was hit hard

12:17 pm

12:22 pm

oops... as that is what we say when we are drunk...hammered

12:23 pm

yes, here too lili

12:23 pm

*Makes Lilliann a drink*

12:23 pm

Hammered referring to the snowstorm

12:23 pm

ty peri and molly for the clues :)

12:24 pm

Actually my hammered was referring to actual hammering. : D

12:24 pm

i'm going to have a vodka and tonic with my spaghetti bolognaise in a bit :)

12:25 pm

compared to the US our little storm was nothing at all

12:25 pm

TY Peri for the un9...nbs/nbt and 88 words...TTFN bbl and HAGD all!

12:25 pm

i realized that:)

12:25 pm

hi everyone -- is the eastern blizzard letting up any?

12:25 pm

hi ruby :)

12:25 pm

Tutuffn and hagadah Jill

12:25 pm

hi nan

12:25 pm

hi everyone, long time no see

12:25 pm

bfn jilly and hi nan

12:26 pm

they used to say that 8F would be too cold for snow, but I guess "common wisdom" is no longer correct with the weird weather everybody's having

12:26 pm

34 inches of snow here, Nan. clear and sunny

12:26 pm

hi natasha

12:26 pm

hi natasha

12:26 pm

sa8 please

12:26 pm

hi lilliann

12:26 pm

hi natasha

12:27 pm

wow! -- saw on the news last night that it was coming down at a rate of 4"/hour -- must have kept up for most of the night!

12:27 pm

yeah--they said that it was snowing so fast they had to call in the snow plows as they couldn't see

12:27 pm

none of our streets are plowed

12:27 pm

That is one intense snow storm. If they had to name it (and I think it's very dumb that they did) Nemo is too wimpy.

12:27 pm

sa 8: capable of being fulfilled

12:28 pm

I agree Molly.

12:28 pm

I never heard of naming snowstorms before

12:29 pm

It's some dumbass thing they just dreamed up Ruby.

12:29 pm

it seems to be the weather channel, which makes money off they hype.

12:29 pm

not getting the clue! lol

12:29 pm

It's a new thing ruby. Used to be hurricanes were given female names because they were unpredictable. We've come a long way

12:30 pm

Oh, the weather channel. That figures.

12:30 pm

WAS THAT THE REASON (SHOUTING ON PURPOSE!)

12:30 pm

LOL, yep Ruby it was.

12:30 pm

think I'm going to have to list for the last 100 - not getting anwhere with this

12:30 pm

nemo sounds like a cartoon.. captain nemo.. should have named it" one dam strong storm "

12:30 pm

got it at last. thanks

12:31 pm

I never knew that and am horrified

12:31 pm

But now we are politically correct and name our hurricanes with male and female names. *Snickers*

12:31 pm

Names like Nemo. Big advancement

12:31 pm

the National Weather Service does name hurricanes and I think they may have given this storm a name when it officially became a blizzard

12:32 pm

nemesis would have been better!

12:32 pm

for sure nan!

12:32 pm

sc7 please

12:32 pm

well our last blizzard was named blizzard of 77.. appropirate cuz it was 1977 lol

12:32 pm

12:38 pm

thanks

12:38 pm

<--Very fond of rugby. I like men with a bit of 'mate' on them!!!

12:39 pm

*Wonders if Soodle knows what a Rugby queen is*

12:39 pm

I've never understood rugby but like the New Zealand team's "dance"

12:40 pm

They are called Rugby Chicks here, Molls. And, for a brief period in the far distant past........

12:40 pm

i'm watching france and wales and am backing wales as i'm half welsh and the french have gone very quiet!

12:41 pm

al 6/24, please?

12:41 pm

the fijians and all the pacific countries do the haaka(sp)? do it aswell ruby

12:41 pm

I knew it. Never a Rugby queen, but I dated a rugby player. Strange, somewhat damaged breed they are. Fun to drink with though.

12:41 pm

tell us more, molly

12:42 pm

My son, who I carried for nine months, wiped his bum etc, has the audacity to be an England supporter! I have a €20 bet on with the unpatriotic wretch!

12:42 pm

if you like broken noses, cauliflower ears then rugby players are the ones to have :) great drinkers though as molly says

12:43 pm

Real men!!

12:43 pm

yay..i love your son soodle.i think it is going to be a close match, but hopefully we win :)

12:43 pm

Yes Lillann. I have watched a lot of rugby games and seen a lot of guys get carted off the field with gaping, open wounds.

12:44 pm

lol Soodle!

12:44 pm

Soodle, I feel the same way about my ungrateful, traitorous, Dallas Cowboy loving son. It makes them hard to love at times.

12:44 pm

i am torn. i dont follow rugby but i have irish blood

12:44 pm

i was banned from a males changing room when i was 2

12:44 pm

After all we did for them, eh Molls?

12:45 pm

Ahahahaha...2-year-old Lilliann checking out the naked rugby players. Ahahahahaha!

12:45 pm

Now, Lilliann, THAT sounds like a good story!

12:45 pm

I think if they played naked, I'd watch

12:46 pm

That is one of the reasons I love Ruby. : D

12:46 pm

12:49 pm

i did more than that apparently molly.my dad use to play and my brother and i would go in after each match and get a shower with my dad as we would play our own rugby game and get really muddy and my mam always cooked the food for after the matches.anyway, apparently one day some of the men were lined up and had one leg up on the bench drying themselves and i went along pulling there willies and i got banned and my dad wasn't happy as he had to wait until all the men had had a shower before he could go in with me and my brother.i always said to my dad when i got older if i had have been banned doing it...and he said probably not! typical man!!

12:49 pm

Visions of Rubes pressed up against the telly, drooling

12:56 pm

Lilliann, I'm hoping your Spag Boll is home made & not a Findus product?

12:56 pm

too much information ru! lol

12:57 pm

:D....

12:57 pm

oops

12:57 pm

no, it is homemade but whether the mince is beef, who knows?

12:57 pm

Oh my God, in the context of this conversation...spell out spaghetti bolognese.

12:58 pm

yeah.. I was wondering what a spag boll was

12:58 pm

years ago, during a beef boycott, I cooked horsemeat. It was very orange, but tasted OK

12:58 pm

Bwah ha ha!!!

12:59 pm

was beginning to wonder if Spag Boll was a relative of Hagis

12:59 pm

am off to reheat the horse meat as i made it last night.biab.the french have been eating horse for years it comes from all the horses left by the british in ww1.

12:59 pm

there is nowt wrong with saying spag bol :)

you all make me chuckle

1:00 pm

ttfn lillian. enjoy your dinner. i am just waiting for mine to cook!

1:00 pm

spag boll sounds like pasta testicles.

1:00 pm

Theres a huge scandal this side of the world. Horesmeat has been found in foodstuffs purporting to be beef.

lol

1:00 pm

I made a miserable spag sauce for dinner

I had horse sausage once in Germany many years ago. Friends let me eat it before they told me what it was

1:01 pm

with American/Italian suasage that DIL brings when she visits

1:01 pm

pretty hard to screw up spaghetti sauce

1:01 pm

funny you should say that ruru. my auntie used to call it that but not so polite!

1:01 pm

wow -- there are a slug of be's between the veggies and the mountaineer rope thing that I have no ideas for

1:02 pm

uh oh, pb for you medusa!

1:02 pm

There are more B's today than you'd find in a flippin' beehive!

1:02 pm

bugger! just seen that. lol

1:02 pm

i don't see why there is such a big thing about it, as we eat cows and other animals and i know they are saying that horses get given a drug which can cause cancer to us but it is also said that cows milk also causes breast cancer,so do we stop eating meat altogether?

1:03 pm

will take a book with me

1:03 pm

i had the same convo last night lilliann!

1:03 pm

I worry more about the antibiotics they give animals and in farm-raised seafood

1:03 pm

I think its the 'ick' factor, Lill

I try to buy antibiotic free and hormone free as much as possible

1:04 pm

labeling is very poor here and when they say "bio" who knows what they mean

stats for the Y please

3:11 pm

Jill, LOL

3:12 pm

Hello crossy...LOL

3:12 pm

Many of those B words are evil

3:13 pm

As in, not words (but we get lectured when we say that)

3:13 pm

Thanks for the warning, Molly.

3:13 pm

<---always loves molly's reassuring words ;)

3:14 pm

New Babble strategy...when in doubt, type in gibberish

3:15 pm

I see the run of what I call "sheep words"

3:16 pm

That would be a flock of sheep words

3:20 pm

It's a weird grid when the A and B words alone are almost 100 words.

3:20 pm

3:57 pm

nea

3:57 pm

Hello stidg!

3:58 pm

Hi jilly. Hope our weather is heading your way for it is very nice to see blue skies.

3:59 pm

According to weather report we are supposed to stay stormy through tomorrow...but blow it down our way by all means!!

4:01 pm

Okay. The blue skies you can attribute to strong lungs of your Babble friend in Washington (state.)

4:02 pm

Hello everyone :)

4:02 pm

Hi smores. Just enjoying the grid.

4:03 pm

<----b's done...WHEW!!

4:04 pm

4:05 pm

I don't recall ever seeing this many B's in a grid.

4:06 pm

*Pours Jill straight gin because she's had so much to drink this weekend, I figure she's gone hard core*

4:06 pm

<---now Molly.... ;P

4:08 pm

Speaking of hard core, I had to laugh watching the movie last night. Denzel's friend, played by John Goodman (who I LOVE) had a beer bottle opener mounted to his dash board. : D

4:09 pm

what movie Molly? Love them both

4:09 pm

I didnt even know there were that many B words in the world!!

4:10 pm

Flight. Nothing else funny about it though. Very depressing story about an alcoholic.

4:10 pm

<----has sympathy for deeha!

4:11 pm

Have you seen the sunglasses with the bottle opener?

4:11 pm

58 b words are cruel and unusual. I shall be working on those for awhile.

4:12 pm

Yes but I have a hard time believing that thing won't break after opening two beers.

4:13 pm

Saw a pair for the 1st time yesterday, saleslady said they have been out for a long time.

4:14 pm

I knew someone in college (a rugby player) who used to wear the key chain kind of bottle opener around his neck on a chain. Talk about your always ready kind of guy.

4:15 pm

I've seen it. Depressing, but great acting

4:15 pm

basal

4:15 pm

Wow, I used to always have one on my key chain, but not around my neck. :)

4:15 pm

doh, off I slink

4:15 pm

If he was a rugby player, I'm surprised he just didn't use his bare hands.

4:15 pm

Well....must toddle off again, 100 left..ya...100..da5/14ing amount...

4:15 pm

<-----has all the B's now.. very smug

4:16 pm

OH, rugby players use their teeth btw...

4:16 pm

congrats ruru :)

4:16 pm

I need 11 more

4:17 pm

Or his teeth, Bea. : D

4:17 pm

I see Jill beat me to that punch.

4:18 pm

or his thighs

4:18 pm

Ha...a friend of my exes used to open bottles with his teeth until he cut his lip wide open...dumba**

4:19 pm

I love how Jill is all prim and proper "Oh no Molly, I couldn't have a drink before I get nbt" and then she comes up with something like that. Can't hide your true colors, no siree.

4:19 pm

Dont know if you guys have heard about the 'scandal'over here where horsemeat is being discovered in burgers, lasagnas etc. Fir5st 'a DNA trace' then yesterday 100%!! In well kbnown supermarket brands. I can laugh - I am a vegetarian

4:20 pm

:) ruru

4:20 pm

I think one of the burger chains here found horsemeat in their hamburger.

4:21 pm

4:22 pm

LOL! Ru

4:22 pm

4:23 pm

It was Burger King.

4:23 pm

Yes, and just the cheaper types. Oddly enough the first lot came from Ireland and the second lot from France - if we lived in France it would only be the BEST that had horsemeat

4:24 pm

I guess Burger King had to pull the Trigger first?

4:24 pm

first la5/12 pls

4:24 pm

Yes, I know a lot of places eat horse, but they know that's what it is and have the choice.

4:25 pm

30...I hardly remember ye!

5:48 pm

Beautiful day here - hope you're all keeping warm and safe.

5:48 pm

I am kind of freaked out about it. Not that 30 is old, but because I will be in my 30s when my daughter graduates high school.

you got that right, jilly.

5:49 pm

Be happy for that invictus...any other kids?

5:49 pm

Yes, a son...they are 8 and 6.

5:50 pm

I was in my mid 40's when my kids started graduating..it is a GOOD thing; you have so much left of good years when kids gone

5:51 pm

I know, but I am not ready for them to be that big. I miss my tiny babies.

5:51 pm

Happy birthday for tomorrow, Invictus...mine is on the 11th.

5:52 pm

thanks, happy birthday to you too, zoozzoom

5:52 pm

LOL...you will get through it and be happy. It's just a part of life. I am just glad that we invested time as a family as a priority

5:52 pm

Happy birthday for tomorrow from my perspective, zooz (almost tomorrow for you too!)

happy bday, zooz.

Mine's this month too, so I agree with TO's comment

:D

5:53 pm

Many thanks babble friends :-)

5:53 pm

It is mixed emotions watching them grow, but mostly happy. And my son assures me that he is not going to be anything when he grows up and will live with me forever! lol

5:54 pm

♫ Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday invictus and zoozzoom ♫ Happy Birthday to you! ♫

A son's a son till he takes a wife, but a daughter's a daughter al her life (sorry invictus)

all

5:55 pm

I think my daughter can't wait to get away from me!

Just a phase I'm sure

5:56 pm

I was a daddy's girl...but as a teen, I wanted to get far away...she'll come around..

5:56 pm

Hi all!

7:26 pm

Yes we did.

7:26 pm

After cussing and swearing at the parking lot for 15 minutes

7:26 pm

Oh, all my dirtiest words come out at times like that.

7:28 pm

Good evening Babblers

8:16 pm

hallo wht

8:21 pm

Hail Wht, King of Babble!

8:23 pm

How's the weather Wht? Are you hip deep in it?

8:24 pm

<--wonders how he fits into the royal scheme

8:25 pm

jester

8:25 pm

ruru, Molly named me King of Babble one day in which I managed to get nbt and fireworks on the same word.

8:26 pm

I was thinking Duke Of Pundom, Ru.

8:26 pm

ah... that makes sense wht

8:26 pm

The weather is cold and clear, now. But we had almost two feet of snow overnight last night.

8:26 pm

We had 30" here in CT. Road still not plowed

8:27 pm

Ruru is clearly Duke of Pundom.

8:27 pm

Sorry, but Archbishop Of Crabbytown is already taken.

8:27 pm

guess that's better than Duke of Pudnom

8:27 pm

Or maybe that should be Duke of Pundomonium

8:28 pm

We spent almost 5 hours shovelling today and we still have more to do.

8:28 pm

<---wants to be Prime Minister of Bad Jokes

8:28 pm

<---wants to be Prime Minister of Bad Jokes

8:28 pm

You can be that too. I so decree.

8:29 pm

Now I can be Prime Riv

8:29 pm

Same here wht. Lots more to do.

8:29 pm

rib

8:29 pm

No snow blower Wht?

8:29 pm

We have a bit to finish up on our drive and we need to do neighbors driveway.

8:29 pm

could i get a hint for the lower left n?

8:30 pm

We have a snow blower that we share with 5 other households.

8:30 pm

We do not have a snow blower.

8:30 pm

pertaining to the nose syb

8:30 pm

And a snow blower doesn't help with walks with steps on them, and things like that.

8:30 pm

What a good idea, co-oping the snow blower.

8:31 pm

And it doesn't work on all types of snow, like hard icy stuf

8:31 pm

The place where the snow blower is most useful is getting through the piles left by the snowplows.

8:32 pm

Hoping someone with a snow blower takes pity on us

8:33 pm

A number of years ago our neighbor, who is now 95 said that he would buy us a snowblower if we would clean his driveway. We said now, but that we would split the cost of the snow blower and clean his driveway.

8:33 pm

We mentioned this to a neighbor and they said they wanted in on the deal and by the time we were done, we had 6 familys involved.

8:35 pm

can't you just have Marion Berry come over.. or Keith RIchards?

8:35 pm

I would be whipped after five hours of shoveling snow.

8:36 pm

I came in and started eating Motrin.

8:36 pm

These are the stories that make me wonder about the people who say "Oh, I love snow!"

8:36 pm

whipped?

8:37 pm

All of those people are under 14

8:37 pm

Exhausted, spent, wiped out, tired.

8:37 pm

ah

8:37 pm

We got a robo-call from the town. They said that all the streets are passable but starting tomorrow morning they are going to start widening the streets.

8:38 pm

"Passable" is a relative term in two feet of snow.

8:38 pm

We have had no plowage at all.

8:38 pm

This is good. Our street is cleared only wide enough for one car to pass. I think I shovelled 10 feet from the street before I hit the driveway.

8:38 pm

I have made a new word: nublet. However, enable doesn't care to accept it. bummer.

8:38 pm

Where are you bichon?

8:39 pm

Of course, where would we go. But, I doubt that emergency vehicles could get in

8:39 pm

I like it Champ.

8:39 pm

what would nublet mean?

8:39 pm

Central CT. Some towns have plowed, some not.

8:39 pm

me too molly!

8:39 pm

Late this afternoon a couple of cars came down our street, so we figured the travel ban had been lifted.

8:40 pm

They showed Milford in the news tonight. It had 38 inches. Did you have that much as well?

8:41 pm

I think it's a cross between a niblet and a nub, so maybe nugget-like?

8:41 pm

wht, my sister in arlington hasn't answered her phone. Think i can assume she's still alive? how much did you have?

8:41 pm

Not sure Ru. But once in college, my roommate was reading to me from a romance novel (and laughing her ass off) and lost it when she came to the part about "her tense nubbin".

8:41 pm

But smaller, definitely smaller.

8:41 pm

We had at least 30" I used a yardstick to measure. Of course the drifting against our garage door was much higher than that.

8:41 pm

We had about 2 feet.

8:42 pm

Just looked at the Hartford Courant site and some towns won't have roads passable til Monday.

8:42 pm

And I don't mean to discount your snow storm bichon...my sis-in-law in Boston had a ton.

8:42 pm

i only have about 15 inches. Normally that would seem a lot, but not this time

8:43 pm

I'm happy to have power, Tv and internet. We dug out part of the driveway and the fluffs can runn around free

8:43 pm

<---Thinks 15 inches is more than enough

8:43 pm

Ditto. Awesome that you aren't disconnected or uncomfortable bichon!

8:44 pm

We also felt that we were fortunate in that we didn't loose power.

8:44 pm

i had a guy with a plow come do it this morning. don't know how much it will cost. don't care. all i care about is that there was not much wind so didn't lose power. I think i'm suffering from PTSD... any thought of losing power after last fall.... i lose my mind. had flashlights and all ready last night

8:44 pm

Big snowstorms with power outages are depressing. We had a 30 hour outage in the winter of 2009.

8:45 pm

Snowstorms become social events because it is one time that you see all your neighbrors as they are all out at the same time shovelling.

8:45 pm

i lost it for three days in the winter of 2010... but after sandy... twelve days. jsut too much

8:45 pm

Hello all!! Back to finish this bad boy.

8:45 pm

12 days with no power is enough to put anyone into clinical depression. You were with friends some of that time, right Dorens?

8:48 pm

yes i was molly... but had to come home every day to feed the cats and spend some time with them... and each time brought more clothes and stuff to annie's house. By the time I came home, it seemed half my belongings were at her house. I was lucky, for sure, but it still was a drag and a half.

8:49 pm

I'm just glad you had somewhere to go. I can't imagine living without power that long.

8:50 pm

Yipes!! Dorens...how awful...

8:51 pm

I have some Thin Mints. Want some?

9:42 pm

I have been craving chocolate all day...

9:43 pm

Would rather have chocolate than a G&T right now..

9:43 pm

I passed on the icky new mango girl scout cookies. Who's dumb idea was that?

9:44 pm

REally??!! Yuck...

9:44 pm

*Sends the Lindt truffle delivery truck to Jill's house*

9:45 pm

<---wishes that were possible...love Lindts!

9:45 pm

Mango Cremes. They are supposed to be healthy. As if.

9:46 pm

They have "nutrients derived from fruits!" Ahahahaha!

9:49 pm

My girlfriends and I were in the Lindt store once and watched in wide-eyed wonder as the woman in front of us checked out with 200 dollars worth of candy.

9:53 pm

I could spend $200 right now...LOL

9:55 pm

Going to have to depart and find ANYTHING to satisfy my chocolate craving...bbl

10:04 pm

Hi again :)

10:04 pm

Jilly, you still here?

10:05 pm

Oh well...

10:06 pm

Just fixed 1min brownies in a mug....mmmmm

10:06 pm

are those good? i've never tried them

10:07 pm

Yes, I kinda changed it up some, but yes they are delicious

10:08 pm

Hi all :)

10:08 pm

Hey Liz :)

10:08 pm

Not liking this grid much especially as I've not had much time. 48 to go!

10:09 pm

I have two cake in a cup recipes. One chocolate and one caramel apple. Both very good.

10:09 pm

Ooo....caramel apple, sounds delightful

10:10 pm

Yummy!

10:11 pm

May I please have a clue for ba6-36? Thanks

10:11 pm

I use a pack of Swiss Miss Dark chocolate sensation cocoa mix instead of the cocoa and sugar. Also substitute 3T of leftover coffee for the water and add a few chocolate chips.

10:12 pm

ba + high score tile + what men wear around their necks, peach.

10:12 pm

almost like what a man would wear around his heck

10:13 pm

Thanks so much, Lizlin

10:13 pm

V true smores

10:13 pm

And smores also.

10:13 pm

lol...saw yours as I was typing, meant to hit backspace and hit enter

10:14 pm

double clues often help!

10:15 pm

The coffee instead of water and adding the chocolate chips are a must.

10:15 pm

Coffee and chocolate go so well :)

10:15 pm

need food, brb

10:16 pm

(In my Forest Gump voice) Just like peas and carrots

10:17 pm

lol - preference is choc / coffee!

10:17 pm

Using list - grid improving a bit!

10:18 pm

Maybe Forest should have said "Me and Jenny are just like chocolate and coffee"

10:19 pm

Probably a better line but not so funny!

10:19 pm

:)

10:20 pm

So you use coffee in yours too Molly?

10:20 pm

Yes, and it would have tread all over Mama Gumps line about how life is like a box of chocolates.

10:20 pm

lol...

10:21 pm

And probably too complex for forest gump too!

10:22 pm

The recipe I have calls for coffee.

10:23 pm

Ahh...I

10:23 pm

the one I have uses water

10:24 pm

lol...also says chocolate chips optional...yeah right, as if

10:25 pm

Do you use oil or butter/margarine? Butter/margarine is much better.

10:26 pm

I use canola oil, I'll have to try it with butter next time.

10:27 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

10:27 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

10:27 pm

Hi Min :)

10:27 pm

We were talking about this recipe at work once and some health nut popped up with the fact that she used pumpkin puree instead of oil to lower the fat content. We all looked at her like she was from Mars.

10:28 pm

Seriously, if you want a healthy snack, eat your carrot sticks and don't mess with brownie recipes.

10:28 pm

lol...never heard of that one...I do like to use applesauce instead sometimes

10:29 pm

Hi there, Min. Hope all is well with you.

10:29 pm

Not for brownies of course, but in butter or spice cake recipes.

10:29 pm

Hi Min :)

10:29 pm

Hi Min, what's your snow situation?

10:30 pm

Okay smores...need that brownie recipe! Post it on your page?

10:30 pm

ty for your story, as ever, Min :)

10:30 pm

lol

10:30 pm

I'm jumping into the middle of this conversation, but speaking of health, I found out if you drink a glass of water before before going to bed it can reduce your chances of dying in your sleep. Don't know if it's true

10:31 pm

okay Jilly

10:31 pm

Just got done making some chocolate sauce for ice cream...didn't even have chocolate sauce in the house...the gods are conspiring against me!

10:31 pm

You are welcome Lizlin. I hoped it helped find words.

10:32 pm

Sure did :)

10:32 pm

Thank you for that somewhat morbid fact Min. : O

10:32 pm

Well, you won't die of thirst ..

10:32 pm

You don't die because you are up going potty often...LOL

10:33 pm

Some friends of mine gave me white hot chocolate.Is that any different from regular hot chocolate?Never had it before. Don't really like to eat white chocolate

10:33 pm

LOL!

10:33 pm

I guess substituting beer won't work.

10:33 pm

LOL torgone!That is true and hello there! How are U?

10:33 pm

But it'd taste good!

10:33 pm

Or tonic water? (with gin of course)

10:34 pm

We love our GinnyJill.

10:34 pm

MollyL,we did not get as much snow as others.Maybe 7-8 inches.It was easy to snow plow driveway today.

10:34 pm

Oh good Min, glad you didn't get clobbered.

10:35 pm

Actually,it was really easy for me because I didn't do it.Hubby snow plowed driveway and then made trails in the backyard so dog would have a place to urinate

10:35 pm

I heard amounts were variable in NYC

10:36 pm

i was in midtown today. not too bad at all

10:36 pm

Oh clever Min. Send husband out to shovel snow so you can have the computer. : D

10:37 pm

ok molly, so if i don't have instant oats and only have regular, what will happen?

10:48 pm

Nothing Dorens, you can use either.

10:48 pm

cool. i like the idea of that. it looks tasty, and I don't have to feel guilty about making an entire cake and what to do with it

10:49 pm

Thank you Molly :)

10:49 pm

And if it really matters in some recipe, you can give regular oats a whirl in the blender or food chopper to make them smaller.

10:49 pm

do you mix it in the cup?

10:49 pm

hi all

10:50 pm

I can't wait to try them both!

10:50 pm

10:57 pm

The other day my coworker gave me some advice on how to not let others bother me. She said I should do yoga and to put whatever bothers me into different baskets. She says that she has baskets for different things depending on what bothers her. So then when another colleague upset her a few days later, I think she forgot about her baskets so I had to remind her.

10:57 pm

Thanks so much, smores. I'll watch the news and come back for the flip. Thanks for all the help.

10:58 pm

that was nice of you min. . .

good thought molls! i like that better than the cabana boys . . . they should just be in the national anthem

11:03 pm

Has anyone heard of the store Basketville in Putney, Vermont?Well I would have to buy all their baskets in order to put away every little thing that bothers me about my husband into different baskets.

11:03 pm

bye jilly

11:03 pm

Night Jilly, sleep well :)

11:03 pm

Min, I think your colleague is a fruitcake and her baskets overturned years ago.

11:03 pm

Kill'em with kindness smores. That is my motto.

11:03 pm

I'm not sure you could capture cabana boys in an image anyway.

11:04 pm

you could probably group them into categories. . .

11:04 pm

i am not wild about the candle either. . . work still needs to be done on the flag when i am home for a whole day. . . that will be monday

11:04 pm

I like molly's suggestion for quadrant 4 too!

11:05 pm

I'm glad you said that MollyL! She is a total fruitcake!

11:05 pm

Y'all can keep killing 'em with kindness if you want, but a firm kick in the ass works much better.

11:05 pm

lol

11:05 pm

Clue for un 6 / 27 the 2nd one please!

11:05 pm

min the way i stayed in love with my husband was to think each night of what i appreciated about him that day. . . and what i had done as a gift for him that day. . . and he did the same for me

11:06 pm

I never knew how to describe her to people, but you hit the nail right on the head MollyL.
