sigh..yet another addiction for those of us who love word games.it is called words of wonder and is quite a bit of fun

9:22 am

hi all :)

9:25 am

hello smores

9:26 am

howdy smores

9:31 am

the game does however knock itself out of full screen mode once in a while and it can be a pita

I find it too busy... do this, do that, too much extraneous junk. I just like a word game where I can get "at it" !

the graphics are cute though... :-) I see I have 103 messages in there too... ha ha ha !

9:35 am

lol.something for everyone

exactly :-)

9:36 am

well,fb is like that.no privacy and invites to ten thousand games

9:40 am

I was playing that game for awhile. I dislike the games where you have to rely on other people to get you further in the game.

9:44 am

that can be a pain indeed,phand.i tried candy crush saga and at level 50 the frustration level became so high and the timed levels were just panic and not fun

crossy, do you ever play any games on a site called boxerjam ? I still go in there often. It has remained the same for many years and I enjoy the various games.

9:46 am

good morning all

9:50 am

found about 15 words in the last couple of minutes bit have hit the wall

9:50 am

*Gives the Babble tiara to Nan, since she is in the grid today*

9:51 am

lol, molly - hadn't paid any attention to that!

9:52 am

down to 48 and know I'll be annoyed when I list and find all kinds of words I should have seen

9:53 am

check for plurals Nan.

9:54 am

have an 9 -- stats for the other?

9:56 am

Anyone watching what's going on in Egypt right now?

9:56 am

They are both an words -- stats for the one you have?

9:57 am

breaking news? or in general?

9:58 am

an 9/60 - plural of an 8

9:58 am

you need an 9/66 -- utterly weird word

9:59 am

a clue, then, please?

10:00 am

AN+ male pronoun + *** Giovanni + **mbic pentameter

10:00 am

anybody on here bake?

10:01 am

very weird

10:01 am

I do phand

10:01 am

I have a recipe where you are supposed to reduce the vinegar and I was wondering what the point is, and how do you know you have gone long enough and not too long.

10:01 am

I told ya...

10:01 am

have no idea - no recipes like that

10:01 am

this is the recipe I am making.. http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2004\n/07/white_balsamic_custard_tart_with_f\nresh_berry_topping

10:03 am

Tiny url for that... http://tinyurl.com/p834phu

10:04 am

I've never made custard that calls for vinegar.

10:05 am

balsamic and berries is a good flavour combination. I'd imagine it's to keep the flavour intensity without adding too much liquid. It says to reduce to 1/4 cup so you're just reducing it by half.

10:05 am

Sorry, try this tinyurl... http://tinyurl.com/bwxkdzw

10:06 am

couldn't find the recipe

10:07 am

Try the second tiny url I posted Nan. Those long urls not only blow out the chat but they add extra \n's that make the url unusable.

10:19 am

Probably not a word that is used in Canada much. It's more of a Louisiana kind of word.

also popular among rock fans

"snirred" sounds good, must mean something . . .

10:21 am

Well done Nan. Enjoy being queen for the day.

mo4,10 is really a word? I always thought it was an abbreviation for something... learned my new thing for the day

11:20 am

my mo 4/10 is workin'

11:21 am

I'm distracted by my dtr messaging me every few minutes about tomorrow's celebration and several other topics today.

11:22 am

Im glad theyre good distractions =)

11:23 am

well, moon, one is a major headache. I'm trying to get her place ready to sell and she's dragging her feet (it was Aunty 's condo; I'm the Executor of the will)

11:24 am

Ah. Still. They could be bad distractions... when I saw dtr, I thought you meant doctor, at first

11:26 am

there was a fire there 2 years ago (when Aunty was living there) and the workers were slow in doing the work (Aunty had died by the time that it was finally livable); so I asked my dtr to move in there. Now it's really hard to get her out even though she will benefit by moving

ms, nef, who was in the grid the other day...

11:26 am

LOL! No, my daughter!

11:26 am

Tho I am sorry to hear there's a PITA in there. Hopefully she'll quit dragging her butt soon

11:27 am

Mo4 and gris-gris are both African in nature (I think) and were established in the US in Louisiana.

11:27 am

Oh I worked it out, yea ^^ Just saying it could have been doctor for perspective lol

Baby

12:53 pm

12:54 pm

oer the years many of my friends have had red hair

12:54 pm

the Tour de France, peri

12:54 pm

ah, ok

12:55 pm

stuck with 51 left

12:55 pm

Here''s another pale skinned red head with green eyes, but also answer to "strawberry blonde"

12:55 pm

my muscles ache, espec my back because of exercise class. So I am drinking constant comment tea with apricot brandy in it

12:56 pm

I think it time for my name to be in the grid. it has been quite a while.

12:56 pm

Good for you peri

12:56 pm

hi strawberry blondie :)

12:56 pm

:)

12:56 pm

Does anybody else like Damian Lewis, speaking of redheads.

12:57 pm

any more of that peri? i'm parched!

12:57 pm

Chrissie: who is Steve Coogan? I saw a movie last night called the Trip and saw that he played himself.....what's that about

12:57 pm

sure I will make you a cup. with the brandy of course.

12:58 pm

you could skip the tea part for me, peri

12:58 pm

Going to take the pooch for a walk, that's the only exercise I take

12:58 pm

ok, here is some apricot brandy for you, ruby.

12:58 pm

thank you peri !!

12:58 pm

I always have gin and apricot brandy on hand.

12:58 pm

perfect!

12:58 pm

yw, kate

12:58 pm

and ruby

12:58 pm

SteveCoogan is a UK comedian, does mostly character sketches, not my cup of tea Ruby

12:59 pm

just read your profile, Chrissie. how are you feeling?

12:59 pm

my only exercise is stairs -- probably 30 flights a day

12:59 pm

Gradually getting stronger thanks peri

12:59 pm

good to hear, Chrissie

1:00 pm

I think the other character's name was Bryson or something and they kept doing impressions through the whole movie, many of people I didn't know

Live in a bungalow so don't even do stairs

Thanks for the warning ruby, that sounds like one to avoid

1:01 pm

Just read your profile,Chrissie, and the dog who took care of me after I had cancer was named Rosie!

1:01 pm

I would like to live in a bungalow.

:) that's nice ruby

1:02 pm

my house is built on a hillside, so it's on 3 levels and one flight down from the street besides

Stairs are good for keeping fit though, but yous sounds a bit extreme ruby

Dog waiting, bbl x

1:03 pm

It's very pretty, though, and the garden goes down another flight

1:05 pm

sounds very pretty, but i cannot do steps easily - bad knees - but just got back from swimming which is my exercise of choice

1:05 pm

Everybody says swimming is the best exercise (but only if you know how lol)

1:06 pm

I would drown in this icy lake

1:06 pm

grew up on lakes and around pools and learned to swim when i was very young

1:07 pm

grew up in Illinois along Lake Michigan which is always cold, but you learned to get used to it

1:07 pm

I tried to learn when I was Young but it was hopeless. I can only dog paddle or deadman's float if I'm wearing a snorkel

1:07 pm

bl

1:07 pm

I think Lake Michigan is as cold as Lake Annecy

1:08 pm

if you don't know how to swim, i would think you would get quite an aerobic workout trying to stay afloat.....

1:08 pm

If you guys want brandy, get Chrissie's. She has great brandy. : D

1:09 pm

but i was at an indoor pool which was a very comfortable temperature and then relaxed in the hot tub (my reward for the laps)

1:09 pm

or I'd drown, one or the other

1:11 pm

;)

1:11 pm

I love water aerobics. So much better for your joints than the regular kind.

1:12 pm

we had a wonderful water aerobics class but lost the instructor - was just thinking of that (wanting another one) when i was there today

1:20 pm

hi helena!

1:51 pm

there you go :-)

1:51 pm

kate, do you have de6.

1:52 pm

... and over time, i'm told keyboarding skills will improove ..... yet to see it though!

1:52 pm

I have no de6 or any other 6 (just starting)

1:52 pm

ty Sue

1:53 pm

sorry hego, no... do you have the de 5/16 that follows it? i will look, but knowing what comes after the 6 will narrow things down a bit

1:53 pm

I have the 5

1:54 pm

okay, i just got hte 5... noiw for the 6.... probably tacks onto a 4 letter owrd...

1:54 pm

I tried that.

1:55 pm

Hope you have better luck.

1:55 pm

hello all...how's the grid?

1:55 pm

hi Jill! I am just starting so no opinion yet :-)

Likker? That must be like choclits.

3:55 pm

Quote from a guy in a bar one night..."Who are you? Marion Ravenwood?" (Indiana Jones reference)

4:52 pm

God Bless America TO. *Clink*

4:52 pm

well, i have a hot pocket and jello - which are pretty american

*clink* back atcha

hey the sandwich guy stole my recipe! How dare he!

4:53 pm

molly,as you may or may not know,i collect coins and follow the auctions,recently a 1792 half disme came up for auction.none of your mints were ready and as i understand,they were hand hammered with manual dies and some of marthas silverware had to go into the first batch of silver.was quite interesting to see it

4:54 pm

anyways,i digress.was interesting is all

4:55 pm

what sandwich guy? what recipe?

on food network. he called them tater tots, but i just call them parmesan crusted potatoes. Hump!

as do many recipes, they started with a mistake.

4:56 pm

hmmmm

It is interesting, crossy.

4:57 pm

allrighty then..back to the grid.ty dianne

i had small yukon golds and made too many and was looking at how to reheat the next night

4:57 pm

trying to add a little americana to the next few days for some of our southern friends

I have some old coins but no collectibles I don't think.

4:57 pm

going to a 4th of July BBQ tomorrow in NJ. My niece has one every year followed by fireworks.

4:58 pm

if you have a 1948 silver dollar hang onto it,dianne

that is nice, annie.

4:58 pm

we're hosting a celebration of INTERdependence for some church friends. :)

4:58 pm

I have 3 1928 silver dollars.

4:59 pm

there are so many varriable on the american silver dollars i have no price reference i am afraid,annoe

4:59 pm

annie

4:59 pm

they are worth big bucks. under a million were minted that year.

annie, just go to barnes &noble and look them up in a valutaion book

4:59 pm

i know the 1850s gold dollars are in the 3-500 dollar range atm as i graded some for a local fella

I have brown nickels :-)

5:00 pm

*is worried about people mentioning their valuables on the internet*

5:00 pm

in the states you use the "red book" just ask at any book shoppe

5:00 pm

shhh, wont do it again, promise

5:00 pm

those are tombac nickles,dianne

5:00 pm

I know how much they are worth

5:00 pm

they were made during ww2 to save on nickle

yes, because silver was being used for other things during the war.

5:01 pm

I had that same thought Hursh

5:01 pm

there was no silver in nickles past 1921

nickel.

hurshy, if yo have little potatoes, you mash them (i have a masher that makes little squares, then reheat after sprinkling with olive oil or butter, salt pepper and parmesan. the little potatoes squares get crispy and delicious.

5:01 pm

well,i say what i want.my stuff is in a vault.they can all go pound sand

5:01 pm

ty kap

I did know that, crossy as I remember the war.

5:02 pm

copied your recipe, Owl

this is after they are baked once. after baking while hot, i crosscut and blossomed them and butter and salted. then the next night, mashed and r ebaked

5:02 pm

and on the victory 5 cent coins,dianne,do you know there are morse code marks on the edging?

5:02 pm

sounds yummy indeed

still working out details but that is the basic.

I have some of those too.... I will go look right now :-)

5:03 pm

but, i think the dude calling them tater tots has bigger trouble than stealing your recipe, that NAME is taken.

5:03 pm

it says 'we win when we work together willingly"

5:03 pm

There is some odd stuff on the food network.

well homemade tater tots are the rage. marie drummond did them also, though they were not really totos, they wree mini potato croquettes

5:04 pm

someone should send the current Congress that message

5:04 pm

dianne,if you have any questions on coins you can email me as we best leave the chat to food i think

i do recommend trying it if you have too many very small baked potatoes left over

5:04 pm

i grade collections for many people now for a hobby

5:06 pm

Sounds good TO. There are lots of good things you can do with leftover baked potatoes.

5:06 pm

can I get a clue for an 7?

5:07 pm

Sounds like a large black cat, plural.

only have one that is the study of the he5 birds

5:08 pm

thanks, Molly and I had the singular. *sigh*

5:09 pm

mno

5:09 pm

he7/40

I feel and see the raised marks along the outer rim of the 1945 Victory nickel..... so that's what it says ! Thanks, Crossy.

A bit warm, but not oppressive yet ..

6:53 pm

I think lil*monkey divorced herself from babble ..

6:53 pm

no minion, no notion, no nation... ugh

6:53 pm

Hello all, on for just a few minutes...resting after cooking up a storm and have guests for dinner in any hour. Hot here...

Indeed ..

6:55 pm

7:07 pm

when your lips drop off tor, then that's too much smooching :D

7:07 pm

We need a drive-by lane here

7:08 pm

i need a drive by babbler to do my words for me :P

7:09 pm

They don't find words. They just say hitoobusytotalkjustwantedtosayhiby\ne

7:09 pm

Look at that nasty little \n that inserted itself in there.

7:11 pm

well, even if they give me one word, i'd be happy .don't worry about it molly, blame it on the keyboard, we all do

7:12 pm

so, i take it that you are all set up for tomorrow after the earlier posting?

7:14 pm

No, the \n actually gets inserted all on it's own after about 34 constant characters are typed. Watch, I will type 35 o's

7:14 pm

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

7:14 pm

don't!!

7:15 pm

Damn, it didn't work

7:15 pm

but you didn't type 35 o's?

7:15 pm

in the first place i mean

7:16 pm

Well, you get my drift. There is something broken in the computer code that governs chat that inserts the \n into long strands. That is why long urls don't work.

7:16 pm

i'm not counting those i 'll be dozzy!!

7:16 pm

*dizzy6!

7:16 pm

Anyway, yes, all set for tomorrow.

7:17 pm

ahh,i think i understand.computors confuse the hell out of me!

7:18 pm

so, what do you ahve planned for tomorrow molly?

7:18 pm

Making ice cream in the morning, barbecuing in the afternoon and fireworks at night.

7:18 pm

i need a robot to type for me

7:20 pm

sounds like a good family day molly. i hope you all have fun :)

7:21 pm

I have a brand new flag to fly tomorrow. : )

7:21 pm

my bairn would love that molly, as in making the ice cream.she's never made it yet but i will show her.we don't have an ice cream maker though as we don't eat it enough.

7:22 pm

good for you molly :)

7:22 pm

How do you make ice cream without an ice cream maker?

7:23 pm

i am so happy that someone is so proud of their country:D

7:24 pm

with your hands but then you need to make and then freeze and then take out of the freezer and then mix and put back in freezer

7:25 pm

i'm going to show her how to make sorbet though as i prefer it and it

7:27 pm

Hi everyone. I'm back to work on my last 7 words. Molly, is it raining where you are? My yard hasn't been dry in 3 weeks.

7:28 pm

hi peach :)

7:28 pm

It's been raining all day Peach. My tomato plants are like bean stalks, they are so tall.

7:28 pm

Hi there, lilliann.

7:28 pm

i wish mine where molly

7:28 pm

evening all!

7:29 pm

Hey there, dan.

7:29 pm

Hi tor (if you are still here).

7:29 pm

I am indeed still here .. Heyas

7:30 pm

hi dan

7:30 pm

If you could a couple of days sunshine, I bet they would really flourish.

7:32 pm

Hello. I'm just starting after a quiet day. Still summer in the great Northwest with blue skies, gentle breezes, and long days.

7:32 pm

apparently we are in for some sunshine next week.we need a bit of both as we have had dry days without sun or rain.

7:35 pm

hi ((gmere)). are you ready for tomorrow?

7:36 pm

sorry, i don't know why i keep asking that question to people. i'm going to try and finish now

7:37 pm

stidgmere, I think I should move to the great Northwest then. Sounds wonderful.

7:37 pm

I need to take steaks out of the freezer tonight so we can barbeque tomorrow. I enjoy watching the fireworks over the water but our dark skies don't happen until about ten o'clock in July so it makes for a late evening.

7:38 pm

May I please have a clue for eo5-10? thannks

7:38 pm

We would enjoy your company gapeach. There are two houses right by ours that you could live in and we could have sweetened tea in the summer.

7:38 pm

i don't have that one yet peach sorry, i was,actually looking for it

7:39 pm

eo and 7 of deadly ones peach

7:40 pm

If I were younger I would seriously consider moving somewhere......just about the only plus this area has is the mild winters.....I never wear a coat, just a sweater at the most.

7:41 pm

even thought the sky gets darker later gmere, it still sounds like a lovely day, especially when family and friends are there

7:41 pm

Thanks so much, lilliann.

7:42 pm

must be night somewhere :D

7:42 pm

We have lived in South Carolina and Virginia and found the summer humidity a test of our good natures. I get crabby when I'm too warm.

7:43 pm

yw peach

7:43 pm

Margaretaville (sp) maybe?

7:43 pm

*makes tartar sauce for stidgmere*

7:43 pm

hi ru

7:43 pm

hi lillian

7:44 pm

*pinches lillian's butt cheeks

7:44 pm

ruru. Do you know anything about naked wines.com? I got a voucher for money off a case of their wines but I know nothing of the vendor.

7:44 pm

yes.. I do..

7:44 pm

one of their winemakers works for us

7:45 pm

I think we'll get Dungeness crabs for the weekend. Could use sauciness.

7:45 pm

i prefer lili, it's like when someone calls me by my real name, it reminds me wehn i was getting told off by my parents!! :0 thta's why molly calls me L

7:46 pm

ooh, i enjoyed that ru, saucy you!! lol

7:46 pm

Ahh. Would it then be a good thing for me to look onthe website for various wines? Stidmama could use a nice pick-me-up.

7:46 pm

*pinches lili's butt cheeks*

7:46 pm

Yes, the humidity is horrible. Not very many people do a lot outside during the summer. I have COPD bronchitis and it is, oh, so hard to breathe. The only place I have been where the humidity is worse is Corpus Christi, TX. I love the place but just couldn't spend much time there with relatives.

7:46 pm

the rieslings and alternative white wines are pretty good

7:47 pm

that's better, but you're still saucy :D

7:47 pm

Ruru you are in a pinchy mood. Writing down reislings for late looking up. Thank you for the information.

7:47 pm

ho5-12 the 2nd please.....thanks

7:48 pm

i don't have that one yet peach, sorry

7:48 pm

i'll look now

7:50 pm

That's OK, lilliann.

7:50 pm

HO + girls name

7:50 pm

ho5/12 sounds like Co5 The Barbarian

7:51 pm

ho and shortened name for grand mother

7:51 pm

Enough clues Peach? : D

7:51 pm

Thanks much, teach, Molly and lilliann.\

7:52 pm

LOL, sometimes it takes that many for my brain to kick into gear, Molly.

7:52 pm

i found it too late :(

7:52 pm

brb

7:52 pm

always good to have multiple points of view

7:53 pm

hi teach:)

7:53 pm

hello lilliann

7:54 pm

*Rolls eyes* People who haven't bothered to email me in months who then send an invite for LinkedIn are too much.

7:54 pm

i've done better today with the longer words than the 4's. i have loads left

7:54 pm

Linkedln?

7:54 pm

It's a professional social media site.

7:55 pm

you mean tomorrow?

7:55 pm

oh ok, i've never heard of it

7:55 pm

Some people think it looks good to have lots of followers there.

7:57 pm

why would people invite you to a site? i'm sorry Molly, but i'm ultra website, computor thick!!.i went on a course to do with computors and forgot everything i learnt every, everyday, as when i came home, i couldn't remember anything!!

7:58 pm

the bairn and hubby try to teach me but i forget it all. i write it down and then lose the paper

7:58 pm

Like I said, some people think having lots of followers on Twitter and LinkedIn makes them look popular. They think it will benefit them professionally.

7:59 pm

ahh, so Linkedln is like twitter. i don't do either

7:59 pm

i know teitter but wouldn't have an account

8:00 pm

i don't want to be posting my life as in every 2 minutes.i say enough here!

8:01 pm

This one was especially annoying as it came from one of my husband's friends, who dealt with my husband's death by ignoring it.

8:01 pm

I think LinkedIn is more like facebook but for business people. I'm retired now so don't care about it.

8:01 pm

Molly, you are a better woman that I. I would just have to tell him.

8:02 pm

Hi all :)

8:02 pm

Hey there, Liz!

8:02 pm

Unfortunately Peach, a lot of people do that. They don't know how to deal, so they just don't.

8:03 pm

Hi Liz, Hi Tabby.

8:03 pm

Actually, I know some like that.

8:03 pm

Oh, hi there, tabby.

8:03 pm

Hi all

8:04 pm

in search of food...brb

8:05 pm

Happy July 4th to all my US friends! Well after all its already tomorrow in Aus!

8:05 pm

Dryer buzzed...gotta run bbl

8:05 pm

hi tabby cat and liz :)

8:05 pm

sorry, troublesome cat to sort out

8:05 pm

*Hands some sparklers to Liz*

8:06 pm

Nothing to sort out right now!

8:06 pm

Love sparklers.

8:06 pm

Your icon prompted the comment Molly.

8:07 pm

i was going to saynthat molly, as in people don't know how to deal with it but even a card to say,'our thought are with you' is better than owt

8:07 pm

I love sparklers too. The smell of them takes me right back to my childhood.

8:08 pm

Me too - drawing pictures in the air with sparklers.

8:09 pm

The best thing you can ever do for someone who loses a loved one, is be around for them a month or two later. Everyone rallies around at first. Then most of them drop off like flies and forget you ever existed. It's a defense mechanism.

8:10 pm

i use to love doing that liz, but when the bairn did it i was frightened that she'd burn her hand, knowing that she wouldn't.must have been the mam in me

8:13 pm

Did I miss something? Was this recent Molly? But I agree about the importance of needing those friend who are there later on. Those are generally the true friends.

8:13 pm

i've only ever lost grand parents so not quite the same as you molly, but i can understand that.i've seen it around my close family.loads of people are there and then in the months to come, i've never seen them

8:14 pm

i didn't want to ask Molly, as you don't say much about your private life and i didn't want to pry. if you want to tell us you will,but i don't like to ask

8:15 pm

No Liz, my husband died two years ago.

8:15 pm

Your lucky lilli. Hope it stays that way for many years.

8:16 pm

i have lost other family members liz but not close

8:16 pm

Phew! I would hate to have missed seeing that and not expressed sympathy? Belated sympathy anyway - on a virtual level!

8:16 pm

sorry molly.x

8:17 pm

My mum died 25 years ago but my dad only 3 years ago.

8:17 pm

Thanks, you are both women with good hearts.

8:17 pm

:) I hope so!

8:18 pm

no i'm not, i'm a bitch!! ;DD

8:18 pm

A bitch with a good heart!

8:19 pm

L, would you like to borrow my "Biggest Bitch On Babble" t-shirt? : P

8:19 pm

no, i'm just a bitch, with a my butt showing :0

8:19 pm

Lol!

8:19 pm

no, but i'd love one of my own molly :0

8:20 pm

Gotta go. Catch you both again soon :)

8:20 pm

bye liz, tc hin.have a good day and tc

8:23 pm

molly, we could have one printed on the fornt and one on the back, so we can both wear them :)

8:24 pm

I'm more than willing to share, L. : D

8:25 pm

canny.i'll have it on the front as i need something to make my boobs look bigger :D

8:27 pm

Well, the politically correct have now decreed that we can no longer use the word "penmanship" because it has "man" in it. We must say handwriting instead.

8:31 pm

well.. pens are phallic :D

8:31 pm

what?? oh for pity sake.our countries are getting too politically and over the top correct.you can't say black, so then you can't say white, you can say big ears, golly wog's,and loads of other things....well, all i can say is we need to lip read, good thing i can and sign, yay, i can do that too, and especially swear words :D

8:32 pm

*can't

8:33 pm

It probably doesn't matter much since there are kids who can no longer read cursive, or write in cursive; and hardly anyone bothers to pick up a pen to write anymore...which is just sad.

8:33 pm

<---hand writes thank you notes and cards all the time

8:33 pm

and by the way i wasn't being rascist with gollywog,we used to get them from the jam and marmalade

8:34 pm

That is nice to know. I do too. But I don't get many of them.

8:34 pm

what's a gollywog.?

8:35 pm

ru, google, but saying that, you probably won't find a picture of one

8:35 pm

oh.. a black doll

8:36 pm

that's a new one for me today

8:36 pm

I found one. Must be a UK thing, I've never seen them here.

8:36 pm

it as a little black doll, scary now, looking at them :)

8:36 pm

do they rap?

8:37 pm

I had a childrens book with them in it, probably english--but it didn't seem racist. The goops were white,

8:37 pm

we're not to say that here now and the jam companies aren't allowed to produce them as it is rascist

8:38 pm

wonder if one ever hung out with Barbie?

8:38 pm

I remember having Little Black Sambo read to me as a child. I never once thought bad things about black people because of that. I just thought it was about a little boy in Africa.

8:38 pm

they weren't dolls

8:39 pm

they were like little stuffed people

8:39 pm

That's where Molly thought butter came from :D

8:39 pm

Exactly. From the tiger running around the tree.

8:40 pm

We used to have restaurants Called Sambos.. and they changed the logo from a black child to an Indian one> (Like India)..very PC

8:40 pm

actually, if you google, you'll find loads of them, some really scary!

8:41 pm

golly wogs came from robinson's jam

8:43 pm

Actually, according to the story, Sambo was a South Indian boy.

8:46 pm

why were they called sambos?

8:47 pm

i have heard of as i thought african boys called it, but, obviously never used it

8:47 pm

need to google

8:51 pm

In the beginning he was black.. but changed.. kind of like Michael Jackson :D

8:58 pm

apparently the word comes from latin,american,spanish word, sambo. but the spanish word, but the spanish word, 'Sambo means mixed African and native American descendents

9:10 pm

Hi again. Just popping through here before I go tackle some spiderwebs in the basement.

9:11 pm

hi nef

9:11 pm

interesting topic, but I've never heard of golliwogs or people (other than in a book from my childhood) being called either name

9:13 pm

it must have been an english thing nef. we use to get gollywog badges from jam/marmalade

9:13 pm

(but then again; I've led a very sheltered life) ;-)

9:13 pm

Hello, everyone! Just finished work and going to try to get a few more words. How is everyone tonight?

9:14 pm

hi Mimi

9:14 pm

((Nef))

9:14 pm

well, we had to collect the coupons from the jam/marmalade and then send them away for one

9:14 pm

(((mimi))) lovely to see you hin :0

9:15 pm

(((lilliann))) How are you and how is your daughter? How is her grandfather doing?

9:15 pm

9:16 pm

the bairn is mouthy as ever and her grandad is doing well ty

9:16 pm

i'm stressed having to live with a gobby teenager!! lol

9:16 pm

Very well. Making more money than I thought. Only starting my second week and making about $300 a week for part-time work...not too bad. Sure better than the 0 I was making before! And I don't even have to leave home.

9:17 pm

she keeps telling me she'll email you as she really wants to hear your animal stories, but i've got to the point that i'm not reminding her of anything

9:18 pm

My daughter is a smarty just like her mother. I was once complaining to someone about hating the heat..he said "The heat doesn't bother me" to which I replied "Well, you're not a middle-aged hot flashing woman" to which my daughter responded "Middle aged? You planning to be 112?" To which I replied "Yes, just for that I AM planning to be 112 and I hope I live long enough to become a burden to you!" That shut her up!

9:19 pm

well, that's better than owt and atleast you can do it from home so do other things mimi , like babble :)

9:19 pm

bbs; got the 2 words I was looking for (still got tons left though). I need to patch a hole, but I refuse to work in cobwebs! I plan to get rid of them then quit for the night.

9:20 pm

lol mimi! i don't think my daughter would ever think about me getting that old. she thinks 44 is old!! :)

9:21 pm

My kids always think they can top their mother for sass, but it'll NEVER happen! I can out-sass the best of 'em!

9:22 pm

well, i hope you can patch the hole nef,tc and have a great 4th of July!

9:22 pm

I have 5 words left.....every time I start, the phone rings. Hey, Mimi, sounds like things are going well with you.....I'm glad.

9:23 pm

ni5-12 please.....thanks

9:23 pm

i out do her in everything mimi, she thinks that she can get everything passed me, but she forgets i was a teenager once!! lol

9:23 pm

(((peach))) Yep...so far, so good. I think the hard times may finally be over...it was a very long, very difficult time.

9:23 pm

ni5 gone past the 8number

9:24 pm

A lot of good energy is being sent to you.

9:24 pm

Unfortunately, my daughter and I haven't spoken in over a year...long, sad story. I keep myself occupied so I don't think and cry....OK, enough of that!

9:25 pm

Peach, I am so blessed with such good friends...couldn't ask for better. I always look at what I DO have rather than what I don't have...much more pleasant.

9:25 pm

sorry hin.x

9:26 pm

Yep...she completely shattered my heart...I will never be the same.

9:27 pm

so mimi what are you upto tomorrow?

9:27 pm

well, you have us:D

9:28 pm

I'm working. Had enough days off so I've only taken one day in 7 so far. It will only be about 5 hours. Not going anywhere in this heat.

9:28 pm

Yes, lil, and I feel so blessed to have found the Babble community...such very special people....like yourself!

9:29 pm

from home mimi?

9:29 pm

And I have a whole month's worth of groceries being delivered tomorrow! Such a great service.

9:29 pm

Yep, only working from home. So convenient and not risking my health with the heart condition trying to take the bus to a job location.

9:30 pm

and no-one to spend it with?

9:30 pm

My new boss is so supportive and encouraging. She's telling me already what an asset I am to her...I love that.

9:30 pm

llillian, your clue was great....I just can't seem to put the letters together....perhaps you can dumb it down.....thanks

9:31 pm

No, I'll be alone with the cats...but am used to it. Besides, I have vodka.......

9:31 pm

not that good then peach..lol .hang on and i'll see

9:33 pm

peach ni5 not eight but ni***

9:33 pm

Got it, lilliann. Thanks much.

9:34 pm

I kept trying to put an "e" into it. LOL

9:34 pm

well mimi, come on here tomorrow evening my time and the bairn and i will join you in celeberating. you and me can have vodka and she can have squash :D

9:35 pm

Is re8-40 a compound word? Thanks

9:35 pm

sorry, peach, i'm not a good cluer

9:35 pm

no

9:36 pm

It's a date, lilli!! I'm sure people in this apt. complex will be setting off fireworks in the parking lot so my cats will be totally freaked out. With any luck, I'll be drunk so it should be a interesting Babble time! Oh, no...can you believe they're already starting with the fireworks tonight???????

9:36 pm

peach re, is an echoing sound

9:37 pm

lilliann, it isn't your cluing at all. You give great clues, there are times when I could have a word spelled our and still can't seem to get it.

9:37 pm

re8-40 not compound, sound reverb

9:38 pm

they do that here aswell mimi a week before guy fawkes and a week after as the fireworks are cheaper

9:39 pm

Thanks much, lilliann and joso.

9:39 pm

i'm the same peach. did you get the re8 i clued at 9.36 and joso has clued

9:39 pm

re8-40, re + male heir, + hill insect

9:39 pm

I just don't understand the fascination with loud popping noises! Fireworks I love and understand, but the ones that just make loud booms, I just don't get. And it's not because I'm older...I NEVER liked or understood that even as a young person.

9:39 pm

hi joso:)

9:40 pm

hey lil, hows jolly olde

9:40 pm

Great cluing, joso!

9:40 pm

Down to 3. so6-18 please...thanks

9:40 pm

i can't stand fireworks, the high pitched ones make me dizzy because i have ear problems and i can't watch them either for the same reason

9:40 pm

tnx

9:41 pm

I used to take the kids to see them every year....can't even think about it now...too painful. More vodka, anyone?!!

9:41 pm

re8 without the re

9:41 pm

9:41 pm

Happy 4th to everyone!! Mimi so glad to see the good news about your job!!

9:42 pm

He's such a cutie.

9:43 pm

9:43 pm

ah, so6 is re8 without the re

9:43 pm

{{speed}}, dear...how ARE you? Please send me an em or give me a call....I think of you often.

9:43 pm

weeeelllll, cleaner, if not clean

9:43 pm

tyvm joso

9:44 pm

Mimi nothing has changed just can't bring myself to make everything final but getting there

9:44 pm

Thanks once again, joso.

9:45 pm

Hang in there, dear...I'm proof that if you hang in long enough eventually things turn around. I have a prayer I say every day....Please, God, don't make me any stronger!

9:45 pm

an9, is an,male king of mafia and 2 vowels

9:45 pm

If you need a pep talk, speed, you know my number.

9:46 pm

Speed, both 9's start with "an".

9:46 pm

is that 9 an9-66 or an9-60

9:46 pm

hi speed :)

9:47 pm

that was an9,66

9:47 pm

an9-66 and an9-60.

9:47 pm

OK--going to marathon watch Desperate Housewives on my Roku/Netflix....Have a good night and hugs all around. See you tomorrow, lilliann!

9:48 pm

hi lilliann trying to get a least halfway tonight mimi I will send you a message this week

9:49 pm

an8/9/60 is against and a lymph ****

9:49 pm

Looking forward to it, speed!

9:49 pm

an9-60 is a plural, an8-45 is against prefix **** + network meeting point ****

9:50 pm

hugs mim, have a good day today(my time) and will meet up with you here tomorrow night and party :) tc hin

9:52 pm

Tell your daughter to be there or be square, lill!!

9:53 pm

aslong as it's not past her bed time, i will mimi. i'll get her to send you an email tomorrow :0

9:53 pm

we'll share a vodka you and me :0

9:54 pm

FW, finally. Thanks so much for all the help. Having a storm here. See y'all at the flip.

9:54 pm

No problem, lill...it's all good. Just be prepared...after I share my stories she'll be crazed to work with exotic animals!

9:54 pm

A storm....I'm so envious....sigh.

9:54 pm

Yay!Wtg peach!! hope the storm isn't too bad.tc

9:56 pm

she so wants to train dogs at the moment mimi.she is very god with dogs.when she walks away they whimper and when she go's back near them they love her

9:56 pm

my typing sucks and spelling at this time of the morning!!

9:57 pm

I know the feeling, lill...I have had wild deer come up to me in the forest. Wait until I tell her my wolf stories!

9:58 pm

...and wild cats, hummingbird, lizards, great apes, monkeys...it just goes on and on.....

9:59 pm

i think she would be good with alot of animals, but especailly dogs.she's now thinking of training blind dogs when she is older. i think if you are good with one animal you have it with others. she's great with all family pet type animals

9:59 pm

she will definitely love your stories and will then want to work in the wild

10:00 pm

Dogs are gifts from God to man...I'm convinced. That is a noble goal for her. Very rewarding way to live.

10:01 pm

Good night everyone.....

10:01 pm

{{speed}}

10:02 pm

dogs just seem to do everything she wants them to do and will pine for her when she's not near them.i can't believe what i've seen and some of the dogs have only met her once and lie down pining when she leaves them.it's great but odd

10:02 pm

Now I must go as the vodka is kicking in...yay. Hugs again and I'm gone....

10:03 pm

I'm the same way, lill...there's no explaining it...it simply IS. Poof!

10:03 pm

goodnight freak, tc and have a great day tomorrow :)

10:15 pm

*Wonders if speedfreak ever knew her name would get shortened to freak*

10:19 pm

oops, i normally say speed, but heh, both shortened mean different things

10:20 pm

so who have you got with you today molly celebrating?

10:22 pm

Without getting into a whole, weird today/yesterday thing...my kids will be over "later" : D

10:23 pm

i hope and am sure you will all ahve wonderful day. god bless family :D

10:24 pm

Is it your birthday?

10:25 pm

Happy $th of July to ypou

10:26 pm

oh b******. sorry, i meant to say Happy 4th of july to you too ruru :)

10:26 pm

Lights candles ....how many?

10:26 pm

i really need my bed

10:27 pm

No, it's not my birthday. It's the 4th of July. Which is worth celebrating. For those people who celebrate, that is.

10:27 pm

no, it isn't Molly's birthday

10:30 pm

I would rather celebrate a birthday...lets pretend its your birtthd a y

10:30 pm

do you not celebrate it ru?

10:30 pm

snap :)

10:30 pm

Typing from a cell phone sucks

10:30 pm

i take it you don't?

10:31 pm

I gave up on birthdays for me lilli

10:31 pm

Are you in that big stinky city?

10:32 pm

I stopped@ 50 :)

10:32 pm

i'm not talking about birthdays but the 4th of july!

10:32 pm

Nope I will be in nyc in august

10:33 pm

i gave up at 40 and that was only a few years ago!! :)

10:33 pm

so i take it ru, you don't celebrate anything?

10:33 pm

I don't celebrate the 4th. ...but I toast our armed services

10:34 pm

Ooo, steamy time to be in New York.

10:35 pm

I don't do christmas anymore either....I should join the jehovsh witnesses lol

10:35 pm

good for you. we had armed forces day on the 29th june. i always have a flag in my window

10:36 pm

my husband and i don't do christmas, a few presents for the bairn, that's it and fly off on holiday

10:36 pm

Better go make some dinner. Bye for now

10:37 pm

bye ru, tc

10:37 pm

*Cough* Flying off for the holiday is celebrating in my way of thinking.

10:38 pm

no, it isn't, it's our summer holiday that we don't get because he's not here

10:38 pm

it's our family time together.it's the only time we get

10:39 pm

As I recall, summer vacations are great. Haven't had one in a long time.

10:40 pm

See, it's just my way of thinking. Time away with the family is a celebration. Time at home with the family is a celebration. Any time you are making the most of life is a celebration.

10:40 pm

if i ever win the lottery molly, i will pay for you and your family to have a summer holiday

10:42 pm

to us, the christmas holiday is a celebration as that is the time we are all together as a family

10:42 pm

For some people, it's their religion NOT to celebrate. For me, it's my religion to celebrate lots of things. The change of seasons, a sunny day after lots of rain, the good fortune of a friend.

10:42 pm

to me, my husband doesn't think like that

10:43 pm

I'm celebrating getting out of work almost an hour early today ..

10:44 pm

Yay for Tor! I'll buy the first round.

10:44 pm

Too late. Buy the fourth ..

10:44 pm

And Thanks!

10:45 pm

See, Tor knows how to celebrate. : D

10:47 pm

my husband and myself have religions, because of our parents, but i won't push it onto others.to me, i'm here because i am and i'm going to enjoy everything about it and i will help others because i want to but i don't need to thank the lord for being the person i am

10:48 pm

Had a very busy, stressful day that shifted into a lower gear with a free lunch, then the phones and network went down, so we peaced ..

10:49 pm

It's always a blessing when the phones and the network go down.

10:50 pm

L, everyone has their own way of being spiritual. The only thing that is important is that you do what works for you.

10:53 pm

well, my husband won't ever be spititual, as he doesn't believe in anything like that!i believe there is a higher power but what, i don't know

10:56 pm

You don't need religion to be an ethical, loving person

10:58 pm

exactly tor

10:58 pm

If you have a faith that gives you happiness, more power to you.

11:00 pm

More wise words from Tor.

11:00 pm

my husband doesn't but i do in away, but i don't need to go to church or pray

11:03 pm

faith/religion is a vast subject

11:03 pm

You believe in him, and he believes in you .. That may be the ultimate kind of faith ..

11:04 pm

at the end of the day, i have my family, that's all i need

11:06 pm

Prayer has religious connotations. I choose to think of prayer as positive energy. A kind gesture is prayer. A positive thought for someone is prayer.

11:06 pm

Whatever family you can join or assemble in this chaotic world is the ultimate expression of our humanity.

11:08 pm

Or the ultimate expression of who we were before we became human. Oops, I went spiritual with that one. : )

11:15 pm

i agree with you about praying Molly. people are doing it for positive reasons, i don't need to pray for that, saying that i broke my vowel of not praying when the bairn was in the helicopter to the hospital and in intensive care and i did pray, and when i saw her i was willing her and speaking to ehr that she would pull through

11:36 pm

Hello All! Happiest 4th! and a belated Happy Canada Day!

11:37 pm

I off until Mon the 8th, so maybe I'll swing by this weekend and re-introduce myself to this game...

11:37 pm

Happy 4th pav :)

11:39 pm

How is everyone? I am slowly getting better from a dislocated clavicle, aka, collar bone, aka shoulder...

11:39 pm

Who knew bowling can injure you in such a way?

11:39 pm

11:40 pm

11:40 pm

really pav, you had all that from bowling? that's terrible. was that over a time of bowling?

11:41 pm

i didn't think i'd seen you here for a while

11:41 pm

one blissful night, last Thursday...! I beat my competitive fem neighbor who invited me...

11:42 pm

I have been on and off for some time...it's been a long while since I last played, but I check in every once in a while to see how peeps are...

11:42 pm

well atleast you beat him but not a happy ending, must be very painful!

11:43 pm

good to see you, pav :-)

11:43 pm

her even

11:43 pm

it was strangely painful at first, but after a week, it's getting better, slow movements

11:43 pm

Hey Une!

11:44 pm

i'm glad it is pav and hope you have a speedy recovery

11:44 pm

hi une:)

11:44 pm

11:44 pm

howdy lilliann :-)

11:45 pm
