12:57 am

I have 40 to go now

12:58 am

You're welcome!

12:58 am

If ti 7 is the queen of the fairies, how can there be a plural

12:58 am

I have 90. I'll list. I tend to list at nbs/nbt 1/2way. Especially during tax season.

12:59 am

At least it gives me nbt and nbs at last

12:59 am

Several actresses have portrayed that role...

12:59 am

we have so many queens here chrissie.. I couldn't answer that

12:59 am

nbt/nbs at last!

12:59 am

lol

Snap jilli :)

1:01 am

It's also ti5/10ium dioxide, so that can be pluralized ..

1:01 am

good night all.. nice to see you m9.. missed you around here

1:01 am

Sleep well ru :)

1:02 am

ti7 is a chemical -- TiO2

1:02 am

Hello all and good luck on the brain power this morn=lol

2:56 am

my brain can't fnd 4 letter words - well, not appropriate ones, anyways

2:58 am

Im not even half way and my brain has shut down already

2:58 am

I'm down to 97

2:58 am

but i did resort to al list at half way

2:58 am

You seasoned pros make me smile - I've only got 47 and my eyes have gone completely!!!

2:59 am

'seasoned pros' has a good ring to it, sounds better than 'addict' LOL

2:59 am

If I get to the halfway point I feel thats a wonderment in itsself

3:00 am

If I ever got em all they would have to pick me up off the floor

3:00 am

but each day I learn a new word or two

3:00 am

when you're been playing a while you gte to know the 'babblets' - odd words that crop up again and again, but which you never use in everyday speech

3:02 am

I just found this site at the end of last month

3:02 am

nice bunch of people here and because it's worldwide, there's always somebody around, day or nigt, whatever your time zone

3:02 am

it's well worth the once on a lifetime fee to go 'pro'

3:03 am

where in the world are you puglet?

3:04 am

I though so just after a few days here.Everyone seem so nice and all. I just wish I was a tadbit smarter on lest common words

3:04 am

Im slow--sorry

3:04 am

Im in the US

3:04 am

the thing that often catches me out is that both US and UK spelling thing

3:05 am

and remembering to add an S to the end of all my words if there's one in the gridLOL

3:05 am

so for example, the rubber things a car runs on is spelt 2 ways today

3:05 am

and pluralled both ways

3:05 am

I dont know how to get my flag by my name---------OK thanks for the imfo

3:05 am

6:32 am

6:32 am

so excited, ruby, lol. Gratz.

6:33 am

{{molly}}

6:34 am

kind of like the plural for queen of the fairies

6:35 am

and I sooo wanted it to be tiramisu

6:36 am

yeah. Babble should cater to our tastes more :)

6:36 am

:D

6:36 am

looks like that Z is a total waste of space today

6:36 am

alas..it is but a phantom

6:36 am

Well, yeah, in British folklore.

6:37 am

yes. I thought it might be a bit of a clue.

6:55 am

on the ocean. Darn, I'll never learn.

6:55 am

?

6:56 am

couldn't find my final A word. And again it is the on the ocean word. I never seem to be able to spot it.

6:57 am

ah...looking

6:58 am

you may already have it, smores, it is a rather common word

7:06 am

Well, my time is up...just past 1/2.....must get ready for church.

7:17 am

morning all!

7:20 am

Hello Sue, eerily quiet in here this morning.

7:20 am

morning all - nbt in 23, I must admit, that one feels good

7:20 am

it is, isn't it?

7:20 am

hi trif! good for you!!

7:21 am

it doesn't happen very often, as I struggle with determining which word comes from which letter, so I am happy

7:22 am

Hi all :)

7:23 am

hello liz

7:23 am

hi liz!

7:23 am

Hi Liz

7:23 am

is liz your real name?

7:23 am

I'm happy to be called liz :)

7:23 am

I only ask because elizabeth is my real name...

7:24 am

Ahhhh! A good name :)

7:25 am

to be fair, only a very few people call me liz, I usually go by the whole thing

7:25 am

I made the decision at about age 10

7:25 am

But I'll answer to Elizabeth too - but only to people who've known me a very long time.

7:26 am

I made mine when I went to college out of state. I grew up being called "beth" or - dread- "bethy"

7:26 am

my daughter's name is elizabeth ( I still call her by that name) but her friends call her liz

7:26 am

hi annie!

7:26 am

how funny, lizlin! I am just the opposite, then. People who have known me a long time call me beth, people who I have met since college call me elizabeth

7:27 am

Never was called by either of those. Most of the family call me Liz.

7:27 am

hi uu, How is Frank?

7:27 am

its a great name annie - I am glad its mine. you can do a lot with it.

7:27 am

I love the name.

7:27 am

he's struggling more with the chemo, annie, it is really starting to wear him out

7:27 am

I'm also happy with my name and certainly think of my initial as being E not L!!!

7:27 am

im sorry to read this news, uusue. I have been thinking of you both

7:28 am

Sorry to hear that Frank's struggling with the chemo - lots of warm wishes from here.

7:28 am

I think of Frank and you too. Frank is in my prayers.

7:28 am

thanks, trif and liz! four more cycles and then he gets a rest from it.

7:29 am

thank you, annie!

7:29 am

That'll be a welcome break for both of you.

7:29 am

it will indeed, liz!

7:33 am

Mental note: No Lizzy or Lizbet : D

7:34 am

speaking of prayers, yikes! I need to leg it to church....I will tell god you all said hi.

7:34 am

i hate my name lol..

7:35 am

Aw, poor Ivesy : )

7:35 am

7:35 am

7:36 am

7:36 am

bye trif, hi sugrr

7:36 am

and hi sue, molly . sugr.. bye triff

7:36 am

and I must be off as well, see you all later!

7:36 am

Ah, men of a certain generation had a tendency to like old grandma type names.

7:37 am

yes molly . u got that right.well least they didnt call me minnie after my gramma

7:38 am

change subject here.. what can i use to clean computer screen. its filthy.. does anyone have idea?

7:39 am

I had an Aunt Gertrude and an Aunt Mildred. I always felt sorry for them because of those names.

7:39 am

had an aunt babe! lol.. aunt teeny.. omg

7:40 am

Hmm, anyone nicknamed Teeny is usually anything but. : P

7:40 am

lol.. she was huge !

7:40 am

good morning everyone! Woke up to a balmy 59 degrees this morning :-)

7:40 am

Ivesy, I use Windex wipes made for electronics

7:40 am

hi ((Mom)) nice weather for you

7:41 am

ty mom.. will look into getting those.

7:41 am

((Annie)) I was pleased :-)

7:41 am

Hopefully it will make its way to the east coast

7:41 am

I use Windex and a paper towel.

7:41 am

you're welcome Ivesy

ivesy, i turn my screen off and clean with a damp towel

7:42 am

58 here , very pleasant.

7:42 am

good morning Molly and Nono

7:42 am

ok ty nono.. cant seem to get spots off of it.

7:42 am

No, Molly if you're still there! I'd prefer no Lizzy or Lizbet - but I won't stop talking to you if you use them!!!!!! ;)

morning babblers

7:43 am

Hi to those who've just joined the chog :)

7:43 am

I have finger marks on mine all the time from trying to make words so I can type them in

7:43 am

good morning, nono, how's the shoulder?

7:44 am

Hi Liz. My mom's middle name is Elizabeth as is my cousin who is called Beth

getting slowly better Annie

7:44 am

Nono, what happened?

7:44 am

Lots of us around it seems :)

7:44 am

such a pretty name

7:44 am

Yet, I've only met 2 others in "real" life!

broke yhe upper left humorus bone mom

7:45 am

oh Nono, I am so sorry to hear that

7:45 am

Ow! You poor thing!

ty

7:46 am

My mom's first name is Nina and I have only met one other person with that name

7:46 am

I never use a name for anyone that they haven't introduced themselves as. I find that very presumptuous.

7:47 am

Margaret is one name here that no one ever calls them self that. It is always some variation

have never 'met' anyone with same first name as mine but have seen or heard the name in the news

7:49 am

The only people I ever met who went by Margaret were nuns. : D

7:49 am

As an ex teacher, I always asked the kids what name they wanted to be known by - sometimes parents didn't like the names the kids chose! Nothing nasty - but a Josh for example, who was only ever known by family as Joshua!

7:49 am

:-) Molly so true

7:49 am

Liz, that was thoughtful of you

7:49 am

Nono, is your first name Nanette?

7:50 am

I guess it stems from my preference for Liz.

No, it's Noreene

7:50 am

I think that is the way it should be, Liz.

7:50 am

What a pretty name, nono

most people seem yo think so mom, but i

don't really like it

7:51 am

:-)

7:52 am

no way to make a shortened name of it, is there?

not really, thats how the Nono evolved

7:52 am

Reeny

7:53 am

A lot of Irenes go by Reeny.

7:53 am

don't hear many Irene's any more either

in college everyone tried to shorten it,,,i got Noti, Renie, etc and kept saying No don't call me that

7:53 am

lots of Regina's when I was growing up

7:53 am

My sil's name is Renee but we call her Reenie

Nori *

7:54 am

Yee Gods, my husband's grandmother was named Regina and they pronounced it like female anatomy.

so they started calling me nono

I always tell little kids to call me nono, because it's easier to say and remember

7:56 am

I knew a person who was the last one born in his family (we are going many years). When he started school the teacher asked him his name and he said his first, middle and last name and added mommy's baby darling because that is what she always called him

7:56 am

lol :)

lol mom

7:56 am

did he ever live that down? that is adorable

7:57 am

Have a good day everyone. I'm off now, with 100 still to find! But that seems like a good place to stop for now. :)

7:57 am

I doubt it, Annie

8:04 am

I have a feeling when nephew #1 gets married in Sept. there will be another Henry in the mix should they have a son

8:05 am

my maternal grandfather was Henry Kirt -- we now have several Kirts in the family . . .

8:05 am

i like that name, kirt..

8:05 am

8:40 am

Hey Doren

8:40 am

8:40 am

I got my MA from WSU and it is only about 25 miles from "home". I was tooring for them last night.

8:40 am

Yep, Michigan beat Syracuse.

8:41 am

rooting...I am dyslexic today.

8:41 am

thanks scrabbs.

8:41 am

I root for underdogs too. Wichita State was ahead in the 2nd half then Louisville came alive.

8:42 am

Yes, Louisville seemed to be stunned by the Shockers that first half.

8:43 am

I do not follow basketball, Bobby keeps me in the loop

8:43 am

Didn't want to go with the obvious..."Shocked by the Shockers".

hi doren

8:45 am

i am recovering from a crazy day. yesterday, picked up my grandkids from central park, took them to french restaurant for lunch with my daughter (their aunt Rachel), then saw Lion King, then great Greek restaurant with their parents and my best old friend, then Leonard Cohen with the latter. Got home at 12:30 and tried to complete the grid. Haha! and now i'm bleary.

8:45 am

Sounds like a fabulous day, Dorens.

how was, he, doren?

8:46 am

Whoa!

8:46 am

crammed a whole lot into it, that's for sure.. And exercise class in the morning too

8:46 am

ah, some of my favorite words, pu4 and 5

8:47 am

oh owl he was just fantastic. voice deeper and better than ever.. 78 years old, ran onto the stage and skipped off. played for three hours with one intermission. i love him.

wow, i envy you. he is not playing here. but i am looking forward to seeing rodriguez tomorrow

8:48 am

i don't know rodriguez. i don't know many of the new musicians. it must be what keeps you young, keeping up with new music, and i'm an old fogey.

8:49 am

Hurshy, I am not sure if I found those

rodriguez is not new; he is new again. or for the first time. he is sugarman of searching for sugarman film

8:50 am

meow

8:50 am

that's cause you have rabbits instead of cats, scrabs

8:50 am

:)

and you are not an old fogey.

8:50 am

Found 'em!

8:50 am

oh, yes i never saw that film and wanted to. will have to find it on netflix when i have time.

i heard it was great, but then again i heard that from my music friends. but he is sold out and I will see him courtesy of the station. or hear him more likely

8:52 am

that's great owl.. i'm sure it will be great

i just keep wondering why we never heard him? it was the kind of music that fit right in to the times.

if you get a chance, check it out. take you back to the day

8:57 am

talk about taking you back to the day, check out a book called true believers by Kurt Anderson. i'm chuckling throughout (not that it's funny.. just such nostalgiaa, and it is clever) well i've passed halfway and need to find some breakfast. bbl. happy babbling all

oops...how did that get there?

11:01 am

oh, how sweet of you ruru!!

11:01 am

He's darling

11:02 am

Jess, as a adult involved for more than 16 years in hs youth ministry, I can tell you...the teens today live in a much more stressful world than even my kids did 10 years ago...

11:03 am

i'm trying all sort of non-words

11:03 am

irgasm and angry climax

11:03 am

irgasm an angry climax

11:03 am

that is

11:04 am

ditto that-there's always been teen angst, but Facebook has added an absurd new level, jilly

11:04 am

ah.. I bet you're right Doren

11:04 am

the internet has added more...not just FB

11:04 am

Regasm, better than irgasm.

11:04 am

As is almost overwhelming expectations of teens by families, schools and society

11:05 am

come again?

11:05 am

missing the original post from jess about teenage drama - where is it?

11:05 am

so i saw leonard cohen last night and I'm in love all over again

11:05 am

I think this is a continuation of last night's discussion.

11:05 am

<---doren likes old farts.. doren likes old farts

11:05 am

The teens I work with are running from sunrise to midnight...little sleep. It's a travesty...

11:06 am

lucky gal - i know a couple of people who were at the concert last night - he's pretty amazing (did he sing 'closing time?")

11:06 am

:D

11:06 am

Hmm, Dorens likes you.

11:06 am

oopsie

11:06 am

thanks, molly

11:06 am

ru is younger than me---cant be an old fart in my eyes

11:06 am

<---now categorized

11:06 am

Oh, hence the arrow. I am so slow.

11:06 am

Jilly - How can they have any expectations when they never taught their kids to be anything but moochers?

11:06 am

Love Closing time.... "every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end"...what great lyrics

11:06 am

morning everyone

11:07 am

Excellent point Hoot.

11:07 am

Oh, I heartily disagree with that overy broad based statement hootowl

11:07 am

Not the teens I see...

11:07 am

I do like Leonard Cohen too though.. great song-writer

11:07 am

Not in the least

11:07 am

Thanks I expected to be dumped on.

11:08 am

That's an unfair assumption

11:08 am

Maybe it comes from growing up in NY and now living in Tenn!

11:08 am

Many kids have no expectations whatsoever. They are given cars, not expected to get jobs, and have all things paid for. I see where Hoot is coming from.

11:08 am

not dumping, i don't think, owl - just that we don't see the majority of hard-working and ambitious teens because they don't draw attention to themselves (like the moochers, the lazies and the trouble-makers)

11:08 am

dont think i heard closing time, and missed a lot of my very old favorites but three encores beginning with So Long Marianne. And his voice is sublime now. can't believe he is 78 though

11:09 am

(and, like you, i grew up in ny, too, owl!)

11:09 am

I work with kids who don't have all that much... parents losing jobs, or working two to try to make ends meet. but still mucho problemos

11:10 am

I realise that welki. I don't usually make blanket statements either. But it's gotten completely out of hand!

11:10 am

kids where I live are pretty much given everything

11:11 am

could be - because the 'haves' have problems, the 'have nots' have problems - everyone's having problems :(

11:11 am

the kid around the corner drives a nice car than I have

11:11 am

Hey they throw people in jail for stealing from the government and then re elect them when they are released.

11:11 am

What am I missing here?

11:11 am

I don't think anyone playing this game lives in a slum...

11:12 am

i hear it at work, too - can't make their financial obligations because 'they go to school' - don't have part time jobs, and yet i see they have iphone 5s and coach bags and ....

11:12 am

or has worked in one..

11:13 am

i worked in east orange for 15 years... west philly years before. methadone clinic on the other side of the fence of our school's playground. think it qualified as a slum

11:13 am

it was tough for me growing up poor and black...

11:13 am

If kids are exhausted, I wonder if it's because parents have laid the groundwork for that. Run to soccer, run to dance class, run to karate lessons, grab fast food, cram homework time in...etc...etc...

11:13 am

Patches, we're depending on you son.

11:14 am

LOL:D

11:14 am

I don't really think the majority worry about homework

11:14 am

east orange is a rough place

11:14 am

<---I smoked my "homework" in high school

11:14 am

and middle school was the roughest, welki. by hs the kids had either settled down or dropped out

11:16 am

or some are exhausted because they take care of their siblings before school, go to school all day themselves, take care of their brothers/sisters after school, try to do homework, maybe play a little sports after the folks get home - so many different scenarios

11:16 am

No matter the locality, or the amount of "privilege"...teen angst has always been borne out of the passage from childhood into adulthood and the drama that ensues. I think that is cross generational.

11:17 am

And some kids never go through that because they became "mini adults" in order to deal with dysfunctional parents.

11:17 am

exactly. so many different scenarios. kind of hard to make generalizations. I'm just glad I already raised my kids.. it is harder these days, for sure

11:17 am

But the subjects of that angst has changed tremendously!

11:17 am

dorens, the majority of my school years were spent in jamaica, queens - not the nicest area, but we did okay

11:17 am

jamaica today isn't like then though

11:18 am

it very much is, ru

11:18 am

jamaica did have some diversity, right? It has changed some now (had cousins there back in the day)

11:18 am

And please do not forget that the MAJORITY of teens (yes even my Catholic ones) come from divorce and blended families

11:18 am

really.. I heard it's getting pretty rough now

11:19 am

Well back then divorce was a nono. My parents were a perfect example.

11:19 am

everything is getting rough now (except napa valley :-)

11:19 am

I have friends that live in Syossett

11:19 am

I have friends that live in Syossett

11:19 am

there was a co-op complex built right in the middle of jamaica - on the old jamaica race-track - the diversity came from the white folks who lived in some (probably most) of those apartments.

11:19 am

Napa is getting rough..

11:19 am

:D

11:19 am

Divorce was a no no and kids lived with unhappily married parents. Many of whom turned to drugs and alcohol. But that was not spoken of either, back then.

11:20 am

the kids of those white folks, once they finished elementary school, were bused into schools outside the neighborhood - was an interesting time, i can tell you

11:20 am

Whe I went for mine , it was not about getting rid of a prison but 'what will the neighbors and the relatives 'think!'Me? No sweat!

11:20 am

me too, owl - if you lived with your mom, she certainly wasn't invited to any of the parent functions

11:21 am

Parent function? Never happened at all. I think I raised myself

11:22 am

my parents couldn't function after 7 oclock

11:22 am

that's not what i meant - my mother was a single mom in the 60s and was ostracized for being a divorcee (and like you, i was a latch-key kid who pretty much was responsible for my sister and myself - parents were like ru's)

11:23 am

hehehe - so maybe it wasn't the divorce that caused her to be ostracized - ossified, that's what i meant

11:23 am

we spent more time alone as kids than we saw our parents really

11:23 am

this grid just got snarky

11:23 am

snarky for me too. and i still have 80 left

11:24 am

Mine never divorced. We moved to the island and we saw him on sundays when he brought mom the paycheck.

11:24 am

86 here

11:24 am

hi all, 92 here

11:24 am

I think I need to list after all

11:24 am

Well, I think the point has been made that no generation has cornered the market on angst or drama. : D

11:25 am

so i guess the punch lines are: teenagers, now as in the past, are troubled.

11:25 am

I found out after he died that he had a steady in the city. My uncle told me, I think expecting a denial. I said good for him!

11:25 am

sheesh - and: the times, they're not a-changing

11:25 am

We just hear more about it now, due to media bombardment.

11:25 am

sorry. angst always has existed, but I think most people involved with kids these days have made the point that facebook has increased the drama exponentially

11:26 am

I agree with you doren.. i believe that's true

11:27 am

<-- thinks dorens should know, that's her schtick. not like the 'old days' when a 'slam book' was the ancient equivalent of FaceBook

11:27 am

Don't know how to explain this - she complained about everything I did or said and expected me to drop everything to do something for her!

11:27 am

wow. I wander away to read comics and everybody comes out of the woodwork to vent about the kids :)

11:28 am

LOL Jes....that'll show you not to step away

11:28 am

too bad you couldn't put her up on craigslist, hoot

11:28 am

I guess so, jilly :)

11:29 am

actually, it's the parents that bother me, more than the kids

11:29 am

No one would have her

11:29 am

we've tried that.. "Available..used MIL.. can be cranky, and uppity.. will never accept son in law.. etc"

11:29 am

no one took us up on the offer

11:29 am

but does mrs ru concur?

11:30 am

yes

11:30 am

ah, that does make it worse

11:30 am

You get very, very tired of being constantly told that you are wrong about everything! She even complained that my hair was to curly when I have always had naturally curly hair! My aunt heard it a just shook her head.

11:31 am

poor hoot - glad you survived

11:31 am

ditto

11:31 am

Are you talking about my gramma, hoot?

11:31 am

gotta run for a bit - later, good people

11:32 am

have a good one, welki

11:32 am

Can't believe there is more than one of her. Suffice it to say that the whole family is that way and that is why I finally left NY!

11:33 am

By welki hagd

11:33 am

I met the Bf, cut them all off when they started complaining on-line and I am very happy now!

11:33 am

heh. yeah, there's more than one of her - my gramma used to chide me non-stop about drinking more water and less milk, because milk would give me kidney stones.

11:34 am

it must be difficult being a pariah

11:34 am

then the first time i asked for a glass of apple juice instead of milk, she started in on how I need to keep drinking milk because it's good for my bones.

11:34 am

I'd have settled for kidney stones!

11:34 am

Good afternoon, Babblers!

11:35 am

G'morning Judi :)

11:35 am

*waves towel..heads for list*

11:35 am

I bought a sweater once..Multi-color horizonal stripes. Was roundely denpounced as an abomination by mom and 2 siteres

11:36 am

When I wanted to wear it I would have to rescue it from one of them!

11:36 am

But according to them it was a horrible sweater

11:38 am

You really get tired of being told that you are wrong about everything! And now I will shut up!

11:38 am

they were just trying to protect you from the horror by taking it away :)

11:38 am

riiigghhhttt!

11:39 am

My mom has sa4 that the reason she got married so young was so she could move out of her mom's house.

11:39 am

Out of the frying pan and into the fire!

11:40 am

truly they just had your best interests at heart, hoot

11:40 am

hah. yeah, my dad is pretty damned infuriating. but they are still married and will likely stay that way.

11:40 am

Didn't work for me. He just started doing the same things they did an addition to his own little jabs!

11:41 am

well that's not much of an escape then... :(

11:42 am

No - I was the rebel who didn't do what they told me to, especially when I knew it was wrong. There seemed to be a big target on me and they made sure there was never any peace!

11:45 am

Oy, family. Can't live with 'em and can't be totally cured by years of psychiatric therapy! :-p

11:46 am

:-p (rather).

11:50 am

i suppose i should go brave the ra4/4 to feed critters and haul in firewood. back in a bit.

11:52 am

Time for me to scoop the litter boxes and catch a nap. Later, kiddos! *POOF*

12:17 pm

Good afternoon!

12:21 pm

Hi Car, how is life up New England way?

12:22 pm

Having a very quiet afternoon. Watching the Sox.

12:22 pm

How are you?

12:23 pm

I'm fine. I heard Fenway's sell out streak was about to end. I was shocked.

12:23 pm

Ticket prices are very high.

12:24 pm

It is nearly impossible to take the family in for a game anymore without dropping @ $400

12:24 pm

And that does include food, parking, tickets, etc.

12:24 pm

I figured it was a combination of that plus so many people being out of work.

12:24 pm

Yup.

12:25 pm

back again. anything important that i missed?

12:25 pm

The boys have each been to a game with their dad, but we have never all gone together.

12:25 pm

Hi Jesdraggon!

12:25 pm

Prices will never go down until people start refusing to pay them.

12:27 pm

All the sports big wigs are now stuck with pricey arenas they built expecting to pay for them with high dollar tickets...and the tickets are not selling.

12:28 pm

how're you, car?

12:28 pm

I am well. You, jes?

12:28 pm

could be worse, could always be worse

12:28 pm

I agree Molly. It is ridiculous.

12:29 pm

12:38 pm

I was there for a little over a week, visiting. Just got home last night.

12:39 pm

She turned 8 months old while I was there. So fun at this age.

1:17 pm

I wish I could get excited about curling

1:18 pm

i have a bunch of friends who curl here. We have two leagues, both dominated by Canadians.

1:19 pm

1:19 pm

you and nan feel about curling like I do about figure skating

1:20 pm

I do love to watch figure skating

1:20 pm

who screams? the players or the fans? If you go to an ice skating competition in Canada, that's where you'll hear lots of screaming

1:20 pm

not the fans, the players

1:21 pm

does screaming make the what ever you call it go better

1:21 pm

have never attended a competition, just watch it on tv

1:22 pm

they're actually calling to the sweepers

1:22 pm

those are the people with the brooms. do people in the US wath this in TV?

1:23 pm

Locally here we do.

1:23 pm

don't know but a lot of Canadians do

1:23 pm

on TV?

1:24 pm

both at arenas and on tv

1:24 pm

I must be too tired. When flosey thanked m9191, I started looking for a 9 letter word starting with M!

1:52 pm

I like "one who of what we breathe" : D

1:53 pm

Sorry Mich.. I've been the source of that confusion before!LOL

1:53 pm

lol mich

1:54 pm

So what's the weirdest g y'all have?

1:55 pm

What does that mean M9191? Do you mean word starting with the letter G is there something more deep and esoteric that I am not getting?

1:56 pm

LOL... I just need one more g word :-)

1:56 pm

Weirdest g???

1:56 pm

g's are all pretty normal, except possibly ga4/6 - a pl word, think it's a shortened name for a fish

1:56 pm

hmm.. I have that one flosey

1:56 pm

hmm... the ga5/14 is kind of unfinished word....to dress up a dinner plate

1:57 pm

Actually, that is a spice bouquet.

1:57 pm

bingo! right column :-)

1:57 pm

1:59 pm

remember - - one who

2:00 pm

and that one is NOT a pl for when you are behind on paying

2:01 pm

M9191, I don't know if that is a plural, the singular (without the snakey letter) doesn't work)

2:02 pm

two hooked letters Mich?

2:02 pm

I know it's not a pl,LOL but it does work without stnake

2:02 pm

hooked letters? I feel like Alice.....

Yep...most certanly have

3:14 pm

shame on you Molly :D

3:14 pm

I haven't. Am I a freak?

3:14 pm

Ever heard the song Brown Eyed Girl Bich?

3:15 pm

hey where did we go... days when the ra4s came...

3:15 pm

Ok. I wasn't sure how far his fame went. He is playing an 'intimate cabaret' gig in the hotel my daughters work in, tonight. He's a Major Diva!!!!

3:15 pm

no, I stopped listening to pop music after the Beatles

3:16 pm

He's a HUGE diva. He is the only artist whose people asked for any unpaid for reference of his (lyrics specifically) to be taken off my husband's web site.

3:17 pm

My girls are going to infiltrate his room, snifle some personal article, and put it on EBay. (No they're not, but they're tempted!!)

3:18 pm

lol

3:19 pm

Tupelo Honey and Moondance were pretty popular singles of his as well.

3:20 pm

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/03/trav\nel/national-geographic-kids-travel/. This is amazing. Its my hometown!!

3:23 pm

The link isn't working for me.

3:23 pm

Need to use tiny url soodle

3:23 pm

Really, Molls? I have very little time for divas. My Sarah met him off the helicopter, and walked him into the hotel, and he didn't engage with her one bit.

3:25 pm

Oh yeah, forgot to take out the \n

3:26 pm

Unfortunately there are celebrities that think they are too grand for the common folk. He is one of them.

3:30 pm

Sorry guys. I cant seem to get the tiny URL. Google CNN 10 places that can change your childs life.

3:34 pm

cool soodle...just keeps making me want to visit!

3:35 pm

3:36 pm

There is a special "feel" when you visit a place with a lot of history. Many people who visit the Gettysburg battlefield say they get that "feel".

3:37 pm

brb...

3:39 pm

You see, I pass these places every day of the week. I've become immune to the incredibleness of the place. Its only when

Jilly, thats a great website. I am still campaigning for a Babble Meet here in Ireland. I absolutely, 100% guarantee a whale of a time.

3:51 pm

Ruru....am I going to have to get my 10 ft pole again!?

3:51 pm

Indeed!! And I might be able to inveigle Soodle Daughters to provide sustenance.

3:52 pm

Deliberately ignoring RuRu's comment!

3:52 pm

Oh please tell me she did not just offer up her daughters. "Sustenance" can so easily be misconstrued.

3:53 pm

3:53 pm

Thinks soodle's nephew goes to the ruru school of jokes...

4:04 pm

And a yappy purse dog

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

Nope!! If you are 7, its a zoo with no animals!

4:05 pm

Wouldn't it be a shytezu over there?

4:06 pm

(You get to say Shit and nobody can bawl you out)

4:08 pm

...someone will..

4:08 pm

I would be careful nonetheless. Don't want to get some Irish Gram's stirabout pot flung at my head.

4:12 pm

Is curling originally a Scottish game?

4:12 pm

I play on my phone but it is cumbersome...

4:13 pm

I play on my phone when I am desparate, like a long wait at the doctor

4:19 pm

Crossy...my favorite baconator... ;)

4:19 pm

howdy lillian

4:20 pm

bacon is very expensive last week or do,been going without:((

4:21 pm

Hope that prices come down by end of summer when BLT season comes...

4:21 pm

there is a season?? lol anytime is bacon time:))

4:22 pm

LOL...my homegrown tomato season rather...we go through a lot of bacon Sept-Oct

4:22 pm

crossy is however doing bacon cheddar puff the sneaky way tonight with pre packaged bacon bit

4:23 pm

Man's gotta do what a mans gotta do... lol

4:23 pm

we pay through the nose for american or hothouse tomatos all but for sept and oct,so anytime may as well be blt time:))

4:24 pm

and in those two months you are bombarded with massive garden fresh tomatos for next to nothing,then they are gone..sniff

4:26 pm

I do freeze mine if I have enough; they get mushy, but still the taste beats anything store bought during winter

4:26 pm

The greenhouse tomatoes I get at the Amish market in the winter are almost as good as summer ones.

4:27 pm

years ago we made the mistake of planting 4 beefsteak tomato plants.we thought "what harm could come out of 4 itty bitty plants,maybe have a few nice nights of sammiches and some pizza sauce" but OMG! ,we had tomatos everywhere! mounds of them.the poor plants had to be tied up with old hockey sticks.we game them out all over town and it never seemed to end hehe

4:27 pm

gave

4:27 pm

We only eat the cherry types of tomatos. The ones I get at Costco are great

4:27 pm

No winter markets here molly...

4:28 pm

And crossy, that was a mistake???

4:28 pm

I chop up my extras and freeze them and then use them in chile, soups and stews.

4:28 pm

well,no,but we learned fast the art of canning tomatos and put up 35 1 quarts jars of them

4:29 pm

And I dry mine too...great in pasta

4:29 pm

Oh and can salsa too

4:30 pm

had a lady from next door donate a few boxes of canning jars,i ran out and got some new rubber gaskets and she worked with us all day and we canned the lot

4:30 pm

Mmm, salsa is the best with fresh tomatoes.

4:30 pm

It is a chore to can. Unfortunately a lot of mine is done after work in the evening. But it is worth it!

4:31 pm

her price was 10 jars of product.good trade and we learned from a pro

4:31 pm

That is true molly, I do that as well...but then I have salsa to give as gifts at christmas...

4:31 pm

i still have a few of the old crown jars around with the glass lids:)

4:32 pm

No I meant even canned salsa is great with fresh tomatoes.

4:32 pm

I have a few of my grandmas

4:33 pm

ahh, but love the fresh as well...

4:34 pm

i like making home made bruchetta(sp) toppings for crusty toasted italian bread slices

4:35 pm

MMMMMMM!!!

4:35 pm

and of course home made ketchups

4:36 pm

i have somewhere a recepie for a zesty ketchup that goes awsome with my baked bacon wrapped home made fries

4:38 pm

hmmm, if you find it, IM it to my FB

4:38 pm

I have never done tomato ketchup

4:39 pm

tonight however is stuffed pork roast with caralamized onion rings roasted sweet baby carrots and yorkshire pudding and some home made gravy

4:39 pm

I would .. but I'm always behind in the kitchen and never can catch up

4:39 pm

5:56 pm

Gramma! : D That word is a keeper.

5:57 pm

It totally works when the grands leave, I'm exhaustipated

I found out today that my grandma was busted in the 60's for running a gambling hall.

oh how funny. my grands ran moonshine stills

6:15 pm

What is with this new, goofy thing of naming snow storms?

6:18 pm

maybe Colorado was jealous?

6:19 pm

2nd re6/21 pls

6:20 pm

They are doing it all over the country. I don't get it. For some places, there are not enough names for all the snow storms they get.

6:22 pm

sorry, peri, don't have it

6:25 pm

To state something again?

6:25 pm

They did not hear her comment, so she re6 it.

6:45 pm

I did accomplish the task of making dinner.I made Shake N Bake chicken with canned corn and rice pilaf from a box.

6:45 pm

7:11 pm

those side effect of chemo are evil((

7:12 pm

yes, this is a particularly embarrassing one, too :-(

7:14 pm

yes,i am sure.when i was to that point ,i almost did not give a damn about what was going on around me or what i was trying to eat or even if i ate or bathed.wanted to just curl up in a ball and lay there.takes a strong woman to do the home care and my beloved was like a rock and i am sure you are doing amazing suze, just make sure you take some time for yourself as well

7:14 pm

TI 7 is like the big ocean liner that hit the iceberg

7:15 pm

7:15 pm

Hi smores

7:15 pm

:)

7:15 pm

hi smores!

7:16 pm

Morning Liz :)

7:16 pm

Hey Sue...sorry to hear Frank having problems, you are both still in my prayers

7:17 pm

So many people have commented that this is an easy grid - not for me :(

7:17 pm

speaking of the titanic.you guys should look up current news on your S.S United States. she has been in storage basically since 1969 and they are doing a fundraiser to restore her.she is the last of her kind and longer than the titanic and still hold the time record for the atlantic crossing

7:17 pm

not for me either Liz

7:17 pm

thanks, smores, these last 2 months are going to be rough, I'm afraid

7:17 pm

Glad I'm not the only one!

7:18 pm

damn poison is acumilative and it is all over your body.you smellit,you taste it,you sweat it.not fun

7:18 pm

{{ Sue and Frank }}

7:19 pm

not easy for me either liz...started out easy enough but that su4 didn't last

7:19 pm

Same here. Just listed at 60 and it's still slow going!

7:19 pm

I am not even half way

7:20 pm

lol..who's making the custard pie? I just made a chocolate one tonight for dessert :)

with bisquick?

7:21 pm

Yes TO...recipe is in my profile :)

7:21 pm

I'm done cooking for the day but will make the pie recipe Crossy gave me very soon.

7:22 pm

"i was giving stimere a nice recepie for one,smore

7:22 pm

i would use flour vs bisquick

7:22 pm

All for now, my brain is fried even if my custard pie isn't. Love to all.

7:22 pm

Enjoy your evening stidg :)

7:22 pm

lol..bye stidg :)

7:27 pm

I just looked and have it at 45 min. hmmm...it should be 35

7:28 pm

Is bisquick what I'd call nesquick - a chocolate drink powder?

7:29 pm

no, Liz, Bisquick is a baking mix, unflavored, with flour and a leavening agent

7:29 pm

lol...no liz...Bisquick is a baking mix

7:30 pm

OK - not something I've come across! ty for explaining.

7:30 pm

If you substitute flour instead add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

7:30 pm

the "bis" stands for biscuit, it's supposed to be a faster way of making them

7:31 pm

I'll have a look in the baking section here - out of interest but I never came across it in the UK either.

7:32 pm

bisquick used to be huge here for biscuits and making dumplings etc but it seems to have fallen by the wayside lately

7:33 pm

Here is the substitution for Bisquick...although when I have used flour I just add the baking powder.

7:33 pm

i also think you can make pancakes with it

7:33 pm

One cup of Bisquick can be substituted by a mix of one cup of flour, 1½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil or melted butter.

7:34 pm

ty for that info :)

7:34 pm

yw :)

7:34 pm

me mum used to make young crossy chicken and dumplings with it:))

7:35 pm

Good memories :)

7:35 pm

7:36 pm

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

7:47 pm

LOL- That would be my hubby Crossy!

7:47 pm

i don't know fragrances past brut, because after that my husband smelled of baby spit up. we all did. :)

7:47 pm

hehe

7:47 pm

i don't like too much fragrance of any kind

7:47 pm

I have gradually moved him away from that!

7:47 pm

now i find that when i do wear aftershave a bit of old spice is nice and not overpowering

7:47 pm

lol

7:48 pm

lol - crayola! my husband still wears old spice, too - i like it

7:51 pm

baby spit up.. wow.. there's a fragrance I don't want to smell

7:51 pm

8:06 pm

8:06 pm

lol...you didn't scare me off crossy..was just finishing off the vowels :)

8:06 pm

but back to that ocean liner project of yours with the SS United States.seems to raise funds,you can actually buy your own square foot of it and get a certificate

8:07 pm

really - an ocean liner? why would anyone want to do that?

8:07 pm

cool

8:08 pm

You know you have been playing babble too long when you know ni5/12 is a word.

8:08 pm

i would do that for a ship like the USS JFK, but not a cruise ship

8:08 pm

it is an historic vessel,welki and they want to save it from the scrap heap

8:08 pm

they have 2 months to do it.then it is gone

8:09 pm

will they maintain it and open it as a museum?

8:09 pm

that is the plan

8:09 pm

when i was a kid, i wanted to work of the USS Hope

8:09 pm

(looking up SS United States)

8:10 pm

we are we have the Seguin.north americas oldest operational steam ship.still does tours on georgian bay up in muskoka

8:10 pm

we are lucky here*

8:11 pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_United\n_States

8:11 pm

very interesting

8:11 pm

lol..Bea I just found that one :)

8:12 pm

Is the USS Hope the ship they do operations on?

8:12 pm

wild that she still hold the record for the fasted crossing of the atlantic

8:13 pm

yes, bea - don't know if it's still around, though

8:14 pm

the uss hope was sold for scrap in 1978

8:14 pm

so, while reading about the SS United States, I ran across a site that's advertising it as a real estate development opportunity, that the ship will be 're-purposed' to house at least a museum and some educational facilities - http://tinyurl.com/c4gdzz6

8:14 pm

I think I saw a news report on it. They do surgery on people of a certain culture who have large tumors from overgrowing tooth enamel.

8:15 pm

ohh, i saw that special, bea - those volunteers do amazing things

8:16 pm

It was it's own community. Cool stuff.

8:16 pm

i know they have a hospital plane now that makes journeys to africa to trat people

8:16 pm

8:17 pm

ahh it is the Orbis flying eye hospital

8:17 pm

I'll have to look it up

8:17 pm

Yes. That is correct.

8:18 pm
