WTG RURU!!!

You done granny?

2:26 am

phantom simian

2:28 am

almost, jwr, do you have the si7?

2:28 am

oh, good grief, is their one? No, ty. I have 102 but I don't even know how many I need.

2:29 am

there

2:29 am

my phantom was quasi...lost count of the number of times i went to put it in

2:29 am

196, jwr

2:29 am

ah, not so bad for a start. Thanks rose. and hello.

2:30 am

* smiling at you* that is a very good start

2:31 am

what a sweet smile! "wave back"

2:31 am

as usual, just starting work -- will be in and out all night

2:31 am

awww, thanx

2:32 am

you a night-shift worker then? where abouts?

2:33 am

yw just a reminder that I'm not able to be as polite and coherent as the regular chogfolk since I have to duck out fast when I have a call.

2:35 am

to answer your question -- I am a volunteer and volunteer-trainer for a crisis line covering several N.Cal counties - includes national HIV/AIDS line. They all go 24/7.

2:36 am

well done you, jwr. i am proud to have met you. it would not be something i could do.

2:38 am

ah, almost everyone on the lines said that before they started (not about me, about not being able, of course) -- and you do have to have a reason to be there in the first place (mine was having been an AIDS-care nurse specialist)

2:39 am

but as most of the chogfolk know, we can handle (i.e. get used to) just about anything. Even battle becomes routine to the warrior.

2:40 am

ty for the kind words. I do read/lurk/glance over regularly and keep up with the thorns and roses of your lives.

2:41 am

oh...i'm a recovery room nurse, work in the private sector

2:41 am

Grand for granny.

2:42 am

and trust me, i would not be able to do what you are doping. i have too much empathy...can't even handle kids when they come thru. it tears me to pieces when they cry.

2:42 am

*doing* lol

2:46 am

The best clinically trained nurses I ever worked with were English. ... Yes you would. It isn't a matter of empathy; it's a matter of knowing how to stop the crying, start communicating their fear and anger and frustration, etc. -- the venting is the big part -- then focusing them on emotional support. You don't think about your own feelings at the time.

2:46 am

jwr....you seem like a legend in my books...have been a volunteer/paid worker for kids in crisis....very heart rendering at times.

2:48 am

hey ya diz, how you doing with the grid? so you understand what i am so clumsily trying to say.

2:48 am

then all of us know that kids are the hardest to work with. It's because they don't really believe their is a tomorrow. Only a now and a here.

2:49 am

off I go - thanks diz and rose for the kind words. A kiss on the cheek

2:51 am

hope you have an easy night, jwr

2:53 am

nightie nite JWR xoxo. Rose, I worked in a boys 'respite home' for 5 yrs and we had some terrible cases come thro. I was upset/cried so much at some of the cases we had that I left before I went completely overboard.....but still volunteered for awhile.

2:54 am

you are amazing, diz...

2:59 am

Hi all :)

2:59 am

LOL I remember once when welfare bought these 3 kiddos in @ 8:30 one night....we only, usually, had boys from 5 upwards. We had to literally cut the nappy off the bubs (around 18 mths) and the elder 2 were as bad....we burnt all their clothes...when welfare came the next morning to pick them up, we got a slap on the wrist for 'burning the evidence'....luckily they had enough evidence in the boot of their car on what their bedding etc was like.

3:02 am

that was 30 odd yrs ago...not like today when Dept of Family Services either ignore complaints or go the other way and go 'overboard' on a childs whim/complaint against Mummy.

3:03 am

Hi Liz!!

3:03 am

Hi Diz - I've got huge admiration for anyone who can do the sort of work described by you, JWR and Rose.

3:04 am

hi liz

3:04 am

Liz....hard work and very draining, but when something goes the right way....exhilarating!!

3:05 am

Hi Rose

3:05 am

I have a slight understanding because of teaching - when you finally help a kid to understand something it's very rewarding but still doesn't really compare!

3:07 am

BBL

3:11 am

yes it does, Liz. Our g/son is ODHD OCC (alphabet bugger as my mum calls him) he is in yr 4 and has a very good teacher who manages to calm him down when needed. G/son is allowed to take his MP3 player to school, hands it to his teacher....but if he is starting to get frustrated or annoyed, or feels a temper; coming on, he can sit in the corner reading a book and listen to music...might only take him 5 minutes, but better than a full on dreaded tantrum

3:19 am

What a fantastic teacher :)

3:21 am

need to go, dinner nearly ready. catch you all at the flip. xoxoxox

3:21 am

Bon Appetit Rose. Enjoy the evening

3:59 am

Good morning. How many words are there today?

4:00 am

good morning

4:00 am

4:00 am

Hi ruby

4:01 am

ty

4:03 am

{{lizlin}}

4:03 am

how are you? Is it spring there? We are just starting our grey, rainy autumn

4:04 am

Beautiful spring here. It's been pretty warm and we're doing lots of beach walks. Sorry about your weather. Do you get the lovely colours of autumn?

4:05 am

Did Burt enjoy his birthday last week?

4:05 am

the colors are very uted here, not like in the US, no msaples or sumac in the wood above us, so it's just green, yellow and brown

4:06 am

I think he did; I did my best to make it happy

4:06 am

There's some lovely blossom on the trees now but otherwise we don't get too much colour here.

4:06 am

I'm sure you made it a great say for him.

4:07 am

Day!

4:07 am

what color blossoms? Do you have ca6's there?

4:07 am

Lots of purple and some yellow and red.

4:08 am

Don't think I've found the ca6 yet!

4:08 am

Spring is usually beautiful here, but it passed us by this year

4:08 am

lke a croc, not a flower

4:09 am

I loved seeing all the flowers in Victoria this summer.

4:10 am

We have crocs in Queensland but not really here though there are a few that they think that people have released into the rivers.

4:10 am

And yes, I have that word!

4:10 am

that's like the urban legend of alligators in the NYC sewer system

4:11 am

Very similar except this isn't myth!

4:11 am

How cute they are as babies. In Florida, they have a huge problem now with Burmese pythons, also cute when small, but they've eaten most of the Everglades wildlife (including deer and alligators) since their release

4:12 am

They grow to more than 20 feet! I'm not FRAID OF SNAKES BUT THOSE COULD EAT ME!

4:12 am

I hate snakes. In 5 years I think we've had 3 in our garden but not venomous.

4:13 am

1 python and 2 tree snakes.

4:13 am

Many houses here have carpet pythons in the roof.

4:14 am

How big?

4:14 am

In the roof or our garden?

4:15 am

I really love reptiles, only afraid of vipers (easily identifiable but I've never seen one), not afraind of the very big coulouvres (never seen one)

4:15 am

My hubby got rid of them - they don't like a hose being turned on them!

4:15 am

Our wildlife is much less colorful and interesting than yours

4:16 am

what is scary where you are, is how many thinks are venomous

4:16 am

I don't mind other reptiles. I love the water dragons.

4:16 am

We have beautiful, multi-colored spiders and I love them outside, but not in the house

4:16 am

is that a kind of lizard?

4:17 am

True but I've not come across anything venomous but then I don't walk in long grass!

4:17 am

Yes it is.

4:17 am

How big?

4:18 am

I don't mind spiders outside. I wasn't too keen on the huntsman I saw in our apartment on my first ever day in Aus. Size of a mans fist!

4:18 am

When I walk the dogs in the field above us, I make a lot of noise with my feet.

4:18 am

Up to half a metre I guess.

4:18 am

wow

4:18 am

That's a good idea. How are the dogs?

4:18 am

The huntsman was in the house?????

4:19 am

Some are really small though.

4:19 am

Rufie is a prince among dogs and Raffie is a moose among girls, He's about 80 lbs and sweet and beautiful. She's about 45 lbs. and is a bit of a "putain"

4:19 am

Yes! Hubby used a broom to put it outside. I Wes pretty freaked by it!

4:19 am

Lol!

4:20 am

She'll grow up!

4:20 am

the size of a fist, aaarghhh

4:21 am

Truthfully I think if you're sensible, you can be safe from the nasties here.

4:23 am

The vipers appear in people's rain barrels (we don't have one) but I worry more for the dogs, than for me

4:23 am

sang

4:23 am

sing

4:24 am

wise

4:24 am

sorry, bad nel

4:24 am

time to go back in my cave!

4:24 am

{{lizlin}

4:24 am

Yuck! In the rain barrels! I understand your fear for the dogs. Here I think the main problem for dogs is a paralysing tic.

4:25 am

Look ate yourself Ruby. Hugs to you.

4:25 am

After!

4:25 am

I try to check them for ticks every day. My friend's dog wound up crippled after being bitten by one

4:25 am

*woof*

4:25 am

Sensible move.

4:44 am

hi there everyone and hi ruby

ok. ty. so what are you cluing hurshy?

8:27 am

nothing, just playing NTPN

8:28 am

huh? dont know those initials......

8:28 am

Name That Proper Noun!

8:29 am

boy, these C's are hard.

It's an 8/9 combo ma 8/9

what you might soak meat in before cooking

8:30 am

ok i dont know it. so now must lookk. ma....

8:31 am

thanks mom

8:32 am

ma 8 has to do with sauce? wow am i confused.

8:32 am

to soak and season your meat prior to grilling

8:32 am

so is the sauce and the 8/9 same clue?

8:33 am

i got the ma 8 and 9. still dont get it but ok. onward to more words

8:33 am

you COULD use hoisin sauce as a ma8. but i wasn't attempting to clue anything at all.

8:33 am

i was just playing name that proper noun.

not a sauce necessarily. you might put a ma8 on the chicken and stick it in the fridge before cooking

8:34 am

you pour your ma8 into a bag with your meat and let it rest for a few hours for the flavor

oops! Sorry if I contributed to the confusion :)

8:34 am

you can make your own or buy it in a bottle

8:34 am

got the words. ty.

8:35 am

everyone added to the clue. so now i have the 8/9 and the word and understand it all.

8:35 am

easy one that I make is equal parts of soy sauce and maple syrup and fresh minced garlic......yum!

8:35 am

yummy.

8:36 am

I do brown sugar, soy sauce, oil and rice wine vinegar.

8:37 am

that sounds good too

8:39 am

I finally have NBT and NBS with 75 to go - now getting tough

8:40 am

can anyone please clue ma7/48

8:40 am

sorry dont have it

8:40 am

ok ty anyway

8:43 am

got it

8:43 am

Howdy, y'all!

8:44 am

hi

8:44 am

Hi Judi

8:49 am

I am surprised that some have not labeled the ma 7/40 an oxymoron

8:51 am

I dont have it yet - clue please

8:52 am

male + solomon-esque

8:54 am

that got me the 7/48 not the 7/40 still looking

well now that you mention it o-o :)

8:55 am

Ha ha. Yep, that could be an oxymoron.

8:56 am

no 7/40 my mistake

9:02 am

You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age; wretched in both! If it be you that stir these daughters' hearts Against their father, fool me not so much To bear it tamely; touch me with noble anger, And let not women's weapons, water-drops, Stain my man's cheeks! Lear, Scene IV

9:02 am

No Lickety again today. *withdrawl symptoms setting in *

9:04 am

9:06 am

Well, there's cheerful news. Tornado watch for just about the whole east coast today. Wheee!

9:07 am

Are concessions available for the watchers?

9:08 am

What Judi? Tornadoes? Where on the east coast?

9:08 am

Pinwheels and kites for everyone.

9:09 am

9:12 am

tornadoes are not to be fooled with .. the devastation can be murderous.

9:12 am

9:32 am

8's are ca gy ma and oc

10:09 am

ca and oc, eh?

10:10 am

ah yes i remember that oc now that you mention it

10:10 am

oc is a wind instrument or a sweet potatoe !!

10:11 am

sorry should have said the oc8 is a plural

10:11 am

it makes me think of that 90's dance

10:12 am

10:12 am

yes i remember that dance

10:13 am

10:15 am

Clue for the ca8?

10:17 am

judi starts with the pretty lacy vest ladies wear

10:20 am

marquis de

10:21 am

chip chip chip... 30 left

10:25 am

name that proper noun! inventor of radio/telegraph

10:26 am

That is debatable, but you mean Marconi

10:26 am

ding ding ding! so i do :)

10:28 am

25...

hi all

10:30 am

hiya TO

10:31 am

it's a bit of a thinker today

i have been lazing about. late awkwening because of neighbors' bakring dogs. hate that

but i had better get dressed in advance of possible tornadoes.

10:33 am

but tornadoes can take your clothes right off!

well then i should put on pretty undies.

10:34 am

EVEN UNDIES! even high laced up boots!

if they took me to oz, that would be interesting. clothed or not. :)

10:34 am

yeah that's what i said, i'd be happy if it took me to oz.

oh no way. that is a plane crash.

10:35 am

Belated ty for the ca8.

10:35 am

but i remember in little house, in one of the later books, a kid who got taken up by a tornado and he got gently put down later, but, he got all his clothes taken off by it, including his boots, and so did his brother, only his brother was killed, every bone broken. and the horses they were riding, the saddles were removed also, even with all those buckles.

oh, then it must be true! ;)

BUT was it in the book?

10:36 am

yes, it was in the book

10:36 am

i do not report things from the SHOW!

10:36 am

Is the ca8 any way related to the ca10?

then mught it be LEW's imagination at work?

10:37 am

no ca8 not related to ca10

10:37 am

yeah i got the root ca6 of ca8 but cant figure out the ending sa4

no, judi,but it was clued within the last two screens

the marquis is the ending

10:37 am

i think she tried to report the real things... and that was in her older life when she could presumably remember better...

10:38 am

ah ty

10:38 am

ah ty

too bad our brit friends are not here, i need some fact checking.

10:38 am

like she was in her late teens by that incident

10:39 am

and a wannabe brit won't do, eh? :)

10:39 am

i was born in scotland.

10:39 am

Finally got the Ca9 & 10. Geesh. New ones to me.

someone claims leaves do not turn in europe. i just googled it and it seems they do in the north; scandinavis, russia

poor judi. it does take a while.

10:42 am

Have the ca8, ma8 and oc8. What does the last one start with?

10:42 am

i'm pretty sure in persuasion jane austen wrote about leaves turning in the fall...

10:42 am

gy8

10:42 am

Yuck. Thanks.

10:42 am

no it's not really so bad

10:42 am

Got it. Ty.

10:43 am

see?

10:43 am

:)

10:43 am

i think all deciduous trees lose their leaves in winter

10:43 am

Gy does have a rather narrow field of possibilities.

then pehaps in southern europe most trees are not deciduous.

10:43 am

born in scotland, where do you live now do0bee? when did you leave? do you have a scottish accent?

that makes sense.

10:44 am

Off to do more work. Ta for now!

10:44 am

they might be deciduous but it might not get cold enough.

10:44 am

im 40 in Arizona, been here since i was like 4 yrs old

10:44 am

in like, southern italy or something

10:45 am

they could still have a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees but just not have as much seasonal change maybe

10:46 am

the C's make me want to CRI

perhaps, but the blanket statement is not accurate. and i am off to dress for whatever the afternoon brings. at least i don't have to do my hair!

10:47 am

:)

10:48 am

name that proper noun! terrorist organization

10:49 am

too political

10:49 am

the plo maybe

10:49 am

words are apolitical

10:49 am

answers to name that proper noun are always found in the grid

10:49 am

Masad?

10:49 am

close

10:50 am

in what way is that close?

10:50 am

i dont think the name that noun is strictly a terrorist org.

10:51 am

No, I'm wrong, wrong spelling

10:51 am

it depends what side of the wall you're on,

10:51 am

that's true, it is not strictly a terrorist organization

10:51 am

ca 6/24 add a non-people person: ***anthrop*

10:51 am

it just has a terrorist wing

10:51 am

mossad might be a terrorist org. to some

10:52 am

it governs the gaza strip

10:52 am

Hamas?

10:52 am

ding ding ding!

10:52 am

thanks brabble!

10:52 am

ca + hit or **ss + marquis de ****

10:53 am

thank you for correcting my clue, it was overly narrow, do0bee.

10:54 am

lol i'm too pragmatic

10:54 am

no, i mean, it is a point well taken

10:54 am

I just popped in. Mossad does NOT govern the Gaza strip. The Mossad is the Israeli intelligence, equivalent to the US' CIA.

10:54 am

i just usually don't worry much about accuracy in those things so much as something that will make people get the word. but in such a delicate topic, perhaps accuracy is more important.

10:55 am

no michnick, hamas was the thing in question governing gaza.

10:55 am

well, I have just recently been accused of being pedantic ... who would have guessed

10:55 am

Easliy misunderstood. The chat gets all jumbled up sometimes.

10:55 am

Ah, well then. They are terrorists, and proud of it.

10:56 am

name that proper noun! semi-nomadic warrior tribe of kenya/tanzania

10:56 am

and maybe i shouldn't defend such organizations online, the walls have ears

10:57 am

masai

10:57 am

ding ding ding!

10:57 am

OR maasai, also acceptable spelling, also in grid! :)

10:59 am

if i could just find one more C... then i would be at listing point...

10:59 am

I was waiting for you to do the Village People song Hursh. : D

10:59 am

Probably too easy

10:59 am

lol, you could do them you know!

11:00 am

why wait for me?

11:00 am

And technically an abbreviation, not a proper noun

11:00 am

you can say

11:00 am

name that acronym!

11:00 am

variations are always acceptable.

11:00 am

nasa

11:00 am

YMCA, i would answer

11:01 am

name that noun -- A Chinese dipping sauce

11:01 am

hoisin!

11:01 am

ding!

11:01 am

i did that before and no one got it so i'm glad you did it! :)

11:01 am

JMC would have gotten. She's all into that stuff.

11:02 am

it was such a disaster too cause mkg thought it was a clue and she was all confused about ma8 and ... sigh.

11:02 am

Yes, that happens a lot.

11:02 am

froglogic has just upgraded its Sq 6/30 Test Automation Suite

Hi Bea

11:06 am

starting to fade perhaps

11:06 am

i ended up turning off the lights

11:07 am

DON'T name that proper noun, cause it counts - grand islands where rich people store their money to avoid taxes.

11:07 am

sounds like the first c

11:09 am

a reptile and a refuge for robber barons

11:09 am

2:19 pm

Not as much as he thinks he should be

2:21 pm

Zoom, you can make yourself crazy trying to figure out why one thing is allowed in Enable and another is not. There is no rhyme or reason to it.

2:22 pm

You are not wrong there, Molly.

mega is a prefix, not a word

2:23 pm

I need to do some work. bbl for more torture

2:23 pm

Ah thank you, TO :-)

2:24 pm

Take care, Bichon.

2:25 pm

Yes but mega is used as a stand alone word many times, without a hyphen and not connected to the word that follows it.

There, there Chrissie. You enjoy your little imaginary world of pools and monkeys. It's okay, honest. *Calls for the meds cart*

3:58 pm

Hello. Just starting onthis beautiful fall day. Started out rain and showers but now sun and calm. Yellow leaves are the theme around here.

*hands chrissie a float with a deink holder*

wow, thanks TO

4:04 pm

meat soaks

figured you could use a rest stop

4:04 pm

ty, had the ma 8. So dense in so many ways

i am so bored with this grid. make that bored in general

Me too, 83 words to go

makes me want to eat everything in sight.

or out of sight. anything. everything.

4:06 pm

Time for a snack, TO?

Starting with chocolate

no, time for dinner.

my schedule needs adjusting

4:06 pm

ty for the ca 9-10 :) - nbs

i have no chocolate.

:(

time to go see what thawed out. failing that, it will be messy frying.

4:08 pm

ooh - please don't talk about food! Was out for brunch this morning with a group of friends - absoulutely stuffed.

4:11 pm

*Hands Nan the Pepcid*

4:12 pm

crossy is lucky that way.i have not been bored since 1993.there is always something going on housework,kid issues,computers(playing on them or building them) schooling,painting the entire place inside every 2 years or so.barring any of that there is always a honey-do list not to mention 2-3 book a week for reading pleasure

That's cos crossy's grabbed life by the googlies and is wringing every last drop out of it :)

4:14 pm

crossy, you have time to read and play Babble?

4:15 pm

is there a ca 8?

4:15 pm

i am going to squeeze every last drop out of it,chrissie!! that reminds me,i do have some pictures to share with you all once i get organized.it is from the night out we had on saturday on board the RMS saegwum and our sunset dinner cruise

Yes nan

4:15 pm

of course,bichon.try to take my books away and you would lose a finger or 2

4:15 pm

ca8/55

4:15 pm

yes nan

4:16 pm

Segwun*

Sounds lovely crossy

4:16 pm

Good. You were able to take the cruise for the dinner date. Do you put them on your Babble post?

4:16 pm

it was ,chrissie.beautiful old steam ship and the oldest of her kind left in north america

4:17 pm

and you work too crossy?

4:17 pm

i am working on it,stidmere

cross, why do yo ualways refer to yourself in the third person?

4:18 pm

i am in school atm,bichon then off to a year of business courses then it is open my own place.i became tired of the petroleum business after 30 years

like maestro on seinfled.

4:18 pm

it is from a old joke between a few babblers and myself from a few years ago,T>O and it has stuck and i have fun with it still on occasion

4:18 pm

clue for the ca 8, please?

actually i rarely see you use first person at all.

4:19 pm

same with my bacon schtick,T>O many enjoy it greatly,so i roll with it

oh, so it is a private joke.

4:20 pm

that it is

that sums it up then.

4:21 pm

and if my antics bring laughter or a smile to a babbler on a rough day,then it is all good.see? no third person there

Or a very public joke as it is in the chog

4:21 pm

i have fun with it and many enjoy it so it is enough for me

no need to justify it to me. question asked and answered.

4:22 pm

because in reality i am not the insane bacon fiend i make myself out to be.on the bright side i get all these amazing bacon recipies form women all around the globe

4:23 pm

from

4:23 pm

hundreds of babble ladies think of crossy every time they pick up a pound of bacon:)))))

No crossy, don't shatter the illusion!

and these bones need nourishment after all the dancing - and travlleing with epiphytic beings. time to prepare dinner.

4:24 pm

Sooo true, Crossy. When I make my applesauce doughnuts this week with maple syrup frosting and bacon bits on top, I'll think of you.

4:24 pm

ca8 - small undergarments worn by women + lemon drink

4:24 pm

AS it happens tonight dinner does contain a smattering of bacon but that is just a cincidence hehe

4:24 pm

ty,bzz

applesauce donust sound yummy. i saw maple bacon chips but i decided not to try them

Stidgmere, they sound amazing

4:25 pm

ty bea

4:25 pm

women on all continents think of crossy.what more could a man ask? lol

4:25 pm

mmmm bacon doughnuts....

4:26 pm

Easy recipe, Chrissie. Make a powdered sugar frosting with a little butter and maple syrup for the liquid. Sprinkle on a few bacon pieces and prepare to be surprised.

4:26 pm

a bunch of ca words that are new to me -- mind you, I am neither a biologist nor a military person

the whole world has gone bacon crazy

4:27 pm

reminds me,,i have 52 ounces of bacon vodka all ready to go.it has been steeping for 6 weeks.common over everyone:))

4:27 pm

I thought they were difficult too, nan.

4:28 pm

True, TO. I think the smokey flavor has premeated somebody's brain in advertising land.

the folks i traveled with over the weekend hardly ate.

4:30 pm

crossy tidbit.if making your own bacon vodka,use a stainless steel plated tea ball to infuse your vodka.i also find that if you decant it into 1 quart mason jars first,the steeping process is easier and remember to half rotate those jars every few days:))

4:30 pm

How could they travel without little coffee breaks and a pastry?

and so did not put meals into the travel plan . i strongly suggested dinner on friday night. they assented and fortunately the restaurant was satidfactory. good, even.

one on the prod diet and the other old and just eats very little. they are both like rails.

sorry, i got that wrong. fodmaps diet

4:33 pm

Hi, does anyone have a list for today?

4:33 pm

*Makes a note to always travel with someone like Gran Mere*

4:33 pm

I have Dee's list in my profile

4:34 pm

what is a "prod" diet???

4:34 pm

Thanks MollyL

4:34 pm

That is the best part of traveling...eating new foods.

4:35 pm

Makes note, call Molly before traveling to coordinate coffee breaks.

4:37 pm

need a break = bbl

diet originated in aus. eliminates all carbs

4:39 pm

How can you exist without carbs. That means no vegetable products

4:39 pm

hi all

4:39 pm

So what was her problem with eating? You can get lots of non-carb things in a restaurant.

4:40 pm

back to find 52 words

4:40 pm

tough grid

4:42 pm

ra 7/36?

4:42 pm

I think FODMAP is low carb Bich.

she has nut allergies and with fodmaps need to be sure that there is no wheat or the like, often used in cooking. her approach is extreme compared with the suggestions but i understand her digestive problems are as well.

and she said she will not eat at a chain restaurant for fear of the wrong items

4:44 pm

My granddaughter has nut allergies and it's so hard to totally avoid nuts when eating out

4:44 pm

ra7...lifting up

4:44 pm

ty Molls

4:45 pm

ty Molly

4:45 pm

you also learn to read all the fine print on packaging - today just found out that the pretzels i buy are made in the same place as peanuts are processed - just found our grandson has a severe hut allergy

4:46 pm

love your icon, Molls

4:47 pm

It is so difficult to find food that hasn't been processed in a factory which processes nuts. So difficult

fodmaps works because it exludes so many foods. you an reintroduce foods from each group later one at a time to see what you can tolerate.

4:48 pm

what is fodmaps

this person is truly scary thin

and so was our driver. he just is one of those folks who does not eat much, w hich happens a lot with some older folks

he is in his 70s as far as we can tell

4:50 pm

found a very nice user friendly photo/video sharing site called smugmug.com and hope to share some pics with with all of you in a few minues.lol,you will all get to finally see crossy.i advise taking gravol now to ease your stomachs lol

4:53 pm

down to 50 - finally, list time :)

4:57 pm

ok.all done.for those interested the pictures are up on crosshair.smugmug .com.when my site opens up select browse,then click on the picture of the bot then select slide show.i have posted a few pictures there. you will get to see mr and mrs crossy:)))

4:57 pm

5:01 pm

if you just want to view the stills,just scroll down instead of hitting the slide show button

Ah Crossy the two of you make a lovely couple!

these are from the dinner cruise you took the other night?

5:05 pm

yes they are:)) was very,very nice

5:05 pm

for a ship almost 130 years old the segwun still shines

5:05 pm

great photos, crossy

we used to have something like that here on Keuka Lake but the owner went bankrupt

5:06 pm

she first sailed in 1884 and at that time she was a sidewheeled vessel

5:06 pm

but she got new engines in 1907 and 1911 and they gave her propellers instead

5:07 pm

ty,cybernan

5:09 pm

was odd to see a ship taking on coal.not seen much anymore,they dumped 2 tonnes of it down a hatch while we were watching them get ready

5:10 pm

i will add more pictures maybe tomorrow the engine room is a steampunk fans dream:))

5:12 pm

the old engine telegraph itself was a beautiful thing

5:12 pm

ok.done boring you all to death now:)

5:16 pm

Finally, figured out how to access your web page. I must be the slowest Babbler in NorthAmerica. My, what great pictures and it looks so much like our winter skies. Thank you for sharing this special event!

5:19 pm

i am glad you enjoyed my pictures,stidmere.they we just taken fast with an i phone but they turned out nice

5:21 pm

i will post more tomorrow.i got a real charge out of the old hand operated ballast pump in the hallway it has handles like one of those hand carts you see on the train tracks and takes 2 men to operate

5:22 pm

and the dining room was very nice.prime rib dinner for two while the ship sailed;)

5:32 pm

as we sailed through the narrows people who owned cottages on the shore would blink the lights inside or ring small bells to ask the captain to use his steam horn and he would let off a blast that reverbarated of the rocks and the islands as we passed:)

5:33 pm

thx for sharing, crossy - enjoyed browsing your pics...

5:33 pm

your very welcome bojazz;))

Enjoyed the photos Crossy! You and Mrs. Crossy are a lovely couple!

5:43 pm

tyvm magazinemom:)

5:43 pm

Beautiful pics Crossy :) And good morning to you all. You and your wife look lovely and what a great boat and beautiful surroundings.

Who has a list for today? Please :)

5:43 pm

Molly and Dee have lists.

5:44 pm

tyvm,liz.we had an amazing time

5:45 pm

We had our wedding dinner on a boat - an evening cruise on the broad water. Lovely thing to do. Happy anniversary, belatedly too.

TY Liz!

5:46 pm

If you google maranoa - then look at images, on the 2nd or 3rd row there

5:46 pm

there's a pic of the Maranoa.

5:46 pm

Time for brekky. BBL

I suppose I should feed the teens before I embark on finishing this grid. Lol

5:46 pm

Beautiful photos Crossy. It looks like it was a lovely evening. Any idea what the white things are that hang down the outside of the ship are?

5:47 pm

ty,liz:)) what surprised me in the design of the vessel were the bumpers you see on the side.we are so used to rubber bumpers or plastic or tire bumbers that we forget an age when those were not available.what you see there are 6x6 wooden beams 8 feet long chaned to the side of the boat with chaines and springs.that cushinons the vessel as it docks

5:47 pm

ty ,fuzzy bunny see my reply bellow

5:47 pm

chained

5:48 pm

cushions

5:48 pm

Fascinating, I thought that was the purpose of them, but I am surprised at the size and the fact that they are made of wood. I would have thought that they would have put modern bumpers on the ship.

5:49 pm

nope.all is as original as it can be.it is amazing it has survived to unaltered(other than the original paddle wheel it has until 1925

5:50 pm

It must have been like going back in time to cruise on the ship.

5:50 pm

and the length of the bumpers is in case the water levels go up or downor when it ties up to the side of it sister ship the winona 2 built in 1925

5:51 pm

it was indeed,fuzzybunny

5:51 pm

i man not even portholes.actual windows

5:52 pm

staggering to thing this vessel had already been sailing for 25 years before the titanic even did her maiden voyage

5:52 pm

Hello all!! How's da grid?

5:52 pm

After you posted that you were taking this dinner cruise I searched it on Google and learned a lot about the boat and the area. I love all the travels I get to take through Babble folks.

5:52 pm

And, crossy, how is academia going for ya?

5:53 pm

we are blessed to live in the area we do, fuzzybunny

5:53 pm

it is going very well indeed,jilly

5:53 pm

when she was a paddlewheeler she was known as the Nippissing

5:55 pm

and since it is still registered with the Canadian government as a royal mail ship, the mrs and i sent each other post cards on board to mark the event.instead of a regualr town or city cancellation mark the cards will bear the seal of the ship itself as the postmaster

5:55 pm

How cool!

5:56 pm

Clue for the ma 7/48?

5:56 pm

the stamp collectors love that since so few mail ships are still registered

5:57 pm

but they will not be getting our cards!

ma7 male + very smart

6:05 pm

You were just thinking of the first four of a type of talkative cat!!

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

6:11 pm

6:11 pm

Okay, I get it. After a quick perusal of YouTube, you people think these cats "talk" because they meow a lot.

6:13 pm

mine really talks - she sez hello when i arrive home and when she wants attention

6:15 pm

Sure, sure. She makes dinner for you too, right? : D

6:16 pm

i wish.... she eats my potato chips as well

6:18 pm

Mine loved string beans....go figure...

6:23 pm

Not liking the c's at all!

6:41 pm

I did not like them either

6:41 pm

The c's are mostly a bunch of gibberish.

6:42 pm

Obviously my gibberish isn't up to standard

6:43 pm

Yes, mine is not up to snuff either, alas.

6:44 pm

Having to resort to a2z for some here!

7:02 pm

There are a lot more than 15 s's.

7:17 pm

True but when I list I go through alphabetically - before then I just look!

7:17 pm

Finally conquered the c's. I think that calls for a chocolate reward, yes?

7:24 pm

yes!!

7:24 pm

i am down to 6....slow going...

7:24 pm

Any time is chocolate time

7:28 pm

And it's a race to the finish. First Liz, then Pen, then Liz breaks ahead, then Pen comes out in front. Now they are neck and neck, sprinting to cross the finish line! THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!!!

7:29 pm

7:38 pm

I'll join you for drinks - even at 10.38 am! I guess it's past midday somewhere!

7:38 pm

ty!

7:39 pm

1st ca 6 is like the last one - swap the sometimes vowel for a pure vowel.

7:39 pm

Just saw the nm!!!! Sorry.

7:39 pm

<---Loves party girl Liz : D

7:39 pm

BBL - good luck to all who haven't finished!!!! So true Molly!!!

7:40 pm

Only slightly misread what you wrote!

7:44 pm

ho 7/40? any hints

7:44 pm

?

7:45 pm

Gerund form of the 6 before it

7:47 pm

not getting it

7:48 pm

start with ho5 - like home except change the second vowel

7:48 pm

then PT it, then gerund it

7:49 pm

ho5 sounds like loudness. ho6 is the past tense of that and ho7 has the gerund ending.

7:49 pm

no word for loudness

7:52 pm

still no luck thanks for your efforts

7:53 pm

like a backyard watering ho** but stick an extra vowel in it

7:53 pm

There is too much no5, please turn down your music. Now make that your ho5 word. The ho6 is the past tense of that word and the 7 has the gerund ending.

7:54 pm

that did it tyvm

hello all.

7:54 pm

ho5 rhymes with no5, sound, often discordant

7:54 pm

hi TO

7:55 pm

didn't have the 5/12 or the 1st 6/24 was trying to get it off the 2nds 6/24 ... it u can understand my confusion

hi joso

7:59 pm

FW

yay!

8:00 pm

challenging grid... good luck, all. I'm off to dinner

night, kje.

has anyone watched the pbs series geneology road show? i hated it

8:03 pm

I guess not, what's it like

very pretentious and filled with contrived drama

i am going to try sleep hollow instead as a last resort in hte vast wasteland

8:05 pm

I'm enjoying sleepy hollow, better than I expected it to be

8:06 pm

Pretentious and contrived drama...oh, I need to just laugh about that and refrain from further comment. Good description TO. : )

que?

8:07 pm

No, no, I'm trying to behave. : X

should i be stomping off? :P

8:08 pm

No, no need for you to stomp off at all.

molly i liked blobs park. i am sorry if they develop it. thought the festival was ver poorly attended

8:10 pm

It is a shame how many nice parks are getting "newly renovated" when they are fine just the way they are.

they want to knock it down for housing.

right ear the county jail and a state prison. I'd live there.

8:12 pm

Yes, so everyone can stay inside, suck face to their computers, tv's and iPhones.

well when you put it that way, i guess it doesn't matter. there was a great goodwill store there, i picked out a skirt for my travel companion. she is a big thrifter.

8:14 pm

Oh, I think it matters a lot. I would rather see the outdoor parks and venues remain, so people have outdoor options for their lives.

i meant it does not matter if a prison is your neighbor when you ar imprisoned by technology

8:16 pm

Oh, okay, got it now. Yes, that's true.

they were building a huge building across from the holiday inn near t95. perhaps condos or apts

8:17 pm

I find it sad that the only time most people are outside is walking to and from their cars.

true. but city living is resurgent

have yo watched sleepy hollow? and speaking of fantasy, have you seen cos?

8:22 pm

Cos doesn't have internet at the moment. His choice. Life changes and such. I am mildly amused by Sleepy Hollow. While it is re-writing all the original legends, it seems to be the only show of that genre presently gaining interest.

oh, well tell him hi from me. i wi4 i had the c ourage.

it appears nothign is holding my interest tonight. edgy. want to get the last 5 and go read

ngiht,a ll, off to read

8:37 pm

hi all. back to get half way. anyone have any of the 8s? i have only one the ma word. need stats and clues for the others please.

9:12 pm

Ugly....well, going to go for high point words and call it good.

9:13 pm

I am too OCD for that. Once I start I am doomed

9:14 pm

Well, had a rough day at work and tomorrow looks the same....have to quit in 45 minutes and head to bed...

9:15 pm

I forgot Jilly, what ward do you work on?

9:16 pm

I'm in the surgery center...mostly endoscopy, today recovery room and outpatient observation.

9:17 pm

I bet you have some funny stories about the recovery room people who are not quite awake. Try remembering some of those before you sleep.

9:22 pm

LOL...we had the comedians today... *sigh* "how are you feeling?" "With my fingers"

9:23 pm

I was always too doped to be quick. My best was when they were trying to wake up some poor man and kept calling, "Francis, Francis wake up."

9:23 pm

No response so they slap his cheeks a bit and then try calling him Frank. still no response.

9:24 pm

Oh dear...

9:24 pm

eventually the doctor who knew him came in and said, "Vern time to wake up" and he did

9:25 pm

Just as I was starting to get worried too. I thot it was pretty funny. The poor nurses were never going to get from Francis to Vern

9:25 pm

LOL...ya, did that one time...not as far as that before I realized I had the wrong name though

9:27 pm

I hope you have fun in Victoria. I grew up there and 3 of my boys live there

9:27 pm

Was there a long time ago...very beautiful. Where are you now?

9:28 pm

9:48 pm

i only have one word, i think this is a toughie?

9:49 pm

It is harp....run....run...

9:49 pm

not overly, but the size with no lickey is making it rough for most

9:50 pm

hi harp, joso, bugs, shirl and Jilly

9:50 pm

oh, no lickety. darn!

9:50 pm

9:50 pm

I did it in twenty hours harp.. not a problem :D

9:50 pm

*even

9:50 pm

the size with Lickey ? :D

9:50 pm

the 7' 8's, 9's and 10 were hard to find! and yeah, without lickety it's durn near impossible.

9:51 pm

It's not the size, it's the oddball words.

9:51 pm

are we talking about words here or something else :D

9:51 pm

clue list in my profile if you want harp

9:52 pm

at least the 4's are common words! :)

9:52 pm

clue for sa6/36 plz

9:52 pm

thanks, i'm pretty much dying already. 10 words

9:52 pm

I find no lickety means I spend a lot more time hunting plurals and gerunds

9:52 pm

cut wood + gerund, Jilly

9:52 pm

sa 6 what you do with Logs

9:53 pm

Oh gee, always something else, of course.

9:53 pm

How's the kitty doing harp?

9:53 pm

I love being ignored :D

9:53 pm

oops, have that one, need the 6/24

9:54 pm

beach material + not bye

9:54 pm

not good jilly. she has very shallow breathing and hasn't eaten for a couple of days

9:54 pm

ty ruru, getting too blind to see...and does it count that I chuckled at your enterance?

9:55 pm

So sorry harp, but you have given her a wonderful life...

9:56 pm

so far, anyway...

9:56 pm

she's my niece's cat. I've only had her since August.

9:56 pm

Oh...this is the new one...any idea on age or what might be going on?

9:57 pm

have you taken her to a vet harp?

9:58 pm

She's 16. She had what we assumed was skin cancer and made an appointment for a biopsy. That was Thursday. The appointment was today and she wasn't healthy enough for a biopsy. He took blood and we'll get the results in the morning.

9:58 pm

But she is acting REALLY frail.

9:59 pm

oh.. doesn't sound good..

9:59 pm

*Ignoring*...*Not acknowledging the lead balloons either*

9:59 pm

Not in pain?

9:59 pm

16 is fairly old for a cat though

9:59 pm

we need a lead balloon room now

9:59 pm

Let me rephrase that. She didn't make the appointment, WE did. So she has gone downhill pretty fast, since Thursday.

10:00 pm

My niece got her on her 13th birthday. She's 29 now.

10:00 pm

I was going to say .. what a smart cat

10:00 pm

lol

10:01 pm

we had one that would dial the phone.. but kept getting wrong numbers

10:02 pm

Well, at least there would be two people not offended by The Lead Balloon Room. : D

10:02 pm

I'm trying to decide if I want to watch Hostages.

10:02 pm

hi all!

10:02 pm

10:02 pm

It's interesting but it moved kind of slow for me.
