Congrats, Rose, too.

1:19 am

woo hooo-- you guys rock!!

1:20 am

shoot, there are a lot of words.

1:20 am

I had to go to the list for the tr 9

1:20 am

wanna help clue us mere mortals?

1:21 am

most of what a train runs on + consonant + past tense of digested

1:22 am

great clue, thanks ruru!

a section of the Talmud, and the plural are tr 8/9

1:22 am

<---needs to bone up on talmud

I've done well guessing the big words tonight; that's how I got the nu7X2

1:23 am

Not sure how many would get that clue, melon. Worked for me though!

1:24 am

I don't get it

1:24 am

bbl.. have to go do dishes

1:24 am

wanna come do mine, ruru?

1:25 am

naw.. I have plenty here.. I cooked up a storm tonight

1:25 am

Somehow that helped me guess one nu 7. Still missing one though.

If you got the de7 that takes away from , unload the de and finish with consumes, you'll get the tr 8/9

change suffixes, Lizlin

1:26 am

I"m getting to love melon's obscure clues

1:26 am

thanks juju. that I got. just not the other nu. I have one that sounds like genetic changed

1:26 am

That worked! Thanks.

1:27 am

i did finally figure out that asian clue from the other night melon.. I was lost for a long while though

1:27 am

nm, it was present and past tense

refresh me, ruru. Was it one of my cryptic clues?

1:28 am

yes.. it was totally cryptic

1:28 am

but i eventually got it

1:28 am

but then I'm slower than most

ruru, you would probably love cryptic crosswords. There are frre ones all over the net.

1:29 am

if 'incarnate' is a word, how come for why is 'decarnate' not one? ;-)

1:32 am

I like the word carnal

1:33 am

also not in the grid 'erect'

1:33 am

*no comment*

1:33 am

just sayin.

1:34 am

me too

1:34 am

sometimes it's hard to spot it

1:35 am

lol

1:35 am

given all the other stiff competition from other words in the grid

1:35 am

and, we have seltzer dragon

1:35 am

:D

1:35 am

as well as an AN word that is like oral, except not really

1:36 am

I would love a clue (in general) for the lowest left side R

1:36 am

re + not walk

1:37 am

What is a seltzer dragon?

1:37 am

that's from a higher one

1:37 am

nope

1:37 am

when someone (usually ruru, here) makes me laugh when I have just taken a drinnk of seltzer

1:37 am

Ah! Good visuals!

1:38 am

ruru, do you mean re + not walk like a horse?

1:38 am

Like the name.

1:38 am

Ty. Didn't have the horse one.

1:38 am

no.. not walk like a human

1:38 am

past tense of run

1:38 am

fish slap

1:38 am

thnx

1:39 am

Weird as I have the linked 8 and 9!

1:39 am

ok, 100 to go, perhaps I can get them done after we get home, must get to bed now, goodnight all

1:39 am

Hi there, Lizlin. You OK?

1:47 am

All good here - just digging into this big grid.

1:47 am

did you over do it today

1:47 am

Fine thanks.

1:48 am

its been awhile since we've had one

1:48 am

I don't think so, didn't have much 'get up and go'. Weather is cold and wet....see, how I always blame it on the weather "Excuse me dear God".

1:49 am

I must get something to eat. brb

1:50 am

g'day peach, dianne

1:50 am

I have days like that myself(more than not-lol) Well that might perk you up or maybe we can :)

1:50 am

Rose are you up to talking

1:50 am

yes, hun. much easier in the mind today.

at last, mediocrity, which is to say: nbt, nbs > halfway, and all the 7+ words. I'll give clues for a minute or two. Anyone?

1:51 am

Hey Rose. Excuse my ignorance but how come after the last op you had lateral movement? Was that op actually not successful ?

1:51 am

Am so glad! I didnt want to get into your space if you needed some time

I got about 3 or 4 of the 7s from the list, the rest were going thru lickety in Alphbetic order, and some good guessing.

1:52 am

I'm ok thanks melon. 80 left, so don't know yet what I need as haven't listed.

1:52 am

liz, didn't have lateral movement until i fell and tore the ligament which stops the knee moving laterally.

1:53 am

thanks Melon , Iam okay right now---:)

1:53 am

OK. So glad you seem to be recovering more quickly this time.

1:54 am

lol...with all the extra padding i am carrying, i am bouncing back nicely...

1:54 am

Lol

1:54 am

So off to the gym in the new year!

1:55 am

Hi all -- just back from a Christmas party at a neighbour's -- what a spread! Too late to get into this now.

2:01 am

as sad as this all is, you and don can now have your own life

2:02 am

I was thinking that. You won't know yourselves.

2:02 am

Until the grand kids come to stay!!!

2:03 am

2:04 am

Is this the first time its just been the two of you Rose

2:04 am

2:05 am

hi ru

2:05 am

that was a fast dishwashing job Ruru

2:05 am

yes, pugs. we had about a week after DH's eldest moved out, then MIL moved in...

2:05 am

hi, rose, tired, hoping to drift off soon. Other'n that, well. We're expeectng ice/snow sometime today (Sunday) into Monday.

3:07 am

well that took the better part of 45 minutes.

3:07 am

ugh, dcs, sounds cold...can i come and live with you??

3:08 am

you won't need any sort of warming device...just stand/sit me in the middle of a room...i radiate heat.

3:09 am

pugs, you done yet, hun?

3:10 am

It's been colder than it's been in some years this late Fall here. And based on the squirrels, many of us are anticipating a cold winter. This is very early for snow here -- frozen precipitation before Christmas is rare.

3:10 am

rotfl

3:10 am

rare to the point i thought white xmases were a myth growing up.

3:11 am

*giggle* don't start me on squirrels...ask joso...i'm very bad with squirrels.

3:11 am

what part of the states do you live in DC

3:12 am

hi all, biggun tonight, but no fear I already have 24

3:12 am

dcs, if we can have snow just before christmas ( it is our summer here ) why shouldn't you?

3:13 am

I'm in the Virginia suburbs of DC, in Oak Hill VA near Dulles international Airport.

3:13 am

g'day, mate. nice to see you.

3:13 am

you know Rose, since Joso started this squirrel things we have had several commericals with them in it attacking people-lol

3:13 am

Hey there Sir Joso

3:13 am

ah, ice storm, no snow is being called for. enough to bring down power lines. So glad i live in an area with underground lines.

3:13 am

hey rose, good to see you too

3:13 am

we are to get ice and snow too today

3:14 am

evening, joso, nice to see you.

3:14 am

greeting m'lady pug

3:14 am

hey dc, how's life

3:14 am

Iam in the midwest of Indiana

3:15 am

you generally get worse Winter weather than we do here by far.

3:15 am

alright, joso, thanks. And you?

3:15 am

we do..we got about 12 inches on the ground right now

3:17 am

we learned that our house has a 20Amp electrical circuit that covers: the dishwasher, the dining room overhead, some overhead lights in kitchen and breakfast area, part of the living room, part of my bedroom, part of the bedroom next to mine, the internet, and the sump pump. Weee!

3:17 am

Sounds like my family in Cleveland that way, pugs.

3:19 am

seems the same guy that wired the green acres farm got work at your place dc

3:19 am

must be a older home DC

3:19 am

LOL joso

3:20 am

Upside, VDOT has pretreated the road. Ah, 3inches of snow, then freezing rain and sleet, chaning to plain rain Monday afternoon. I bet most schools will be closed Monday. Or at least open a couple hours late.

3:21 am

1986 home, pugs. The kitchen was redone in January (we moved here in October). I think they did the electric on the way cheap, though.

3:21 am

I rather have the snow first then that ice!

3:21 am

but no problem, take out the 20 amp fuse, stick in a penny and you will be toasty warm in no time.

3:22 am

not fuse, breakers, so no pennies

3:22 am

probably a good thing

3:22 am

we get a lot of ice -- often ice, snow ice, or snow then ice, or straught-up ice. We we here in DC call Winter is known as Spring in New England. LOL

3:23 am

I live in mh and our wiring is about the same--everything on one side is wired together

3:24 am

my old place had no plugs in the kitchen

3:25 am

was it built before electric was invented

3:25 am

oops, I lie, one massive plug for the stove

3:26 am

so small appliances were all n the dining room i bet.

3:29 am

I would guess it was built in the 50's or late 40's. fridge cord ran around the corner into the living room. I bought a 6 foot power bar and attached to to the wall behind the counter, but you could not use the toaster and microwave at the same time

3:31 am

I have that problem too Joso---it will throw the breaker if both are turned on at the same time

3:32 am

yep, microwave and anything really, but that problem is behind me now

3:36 am

*giggle* you all homes sound like this one. built late 40's early 50's. sometimes when we use the toaster everything stops. maybe we can now afford to get it sorted. will be nice not to plunge into complete darkness in the middle of cooking dinner.

3:36 am

hmmm...joso...you saying the ......shines out of your a...

3:37 am

lol Rose

3:38 am

Hi

3:55 am

Hi Jack

3:55 am

3:59 am

4:00 am

You back Rose?

4:00 am

There is an annual carol singing event in a sheepshed each year, very rural an dquaint. The local brass band play and the woman who owns the farm is a quilter and hangs all her christmas quilts around the walls

4:01 am

pugs, lamb sausages are sooo yummy. must get you over here....i think your taste buds will think they have died and gone to heaven.

4:01 am

hey rose, sorry i didn't respond earlier, had bopped out to read up on a donkey

4:01 am

sounds lovely Jack--I bet the quilts are beautiful too

4:01 am

and did you learn anything, sir joso?

4:02 am

they are pugs. Next time you are in NZ, come along!

4:02 am

lol-I will

4:03 am

How are you rose? Been thinking of you

4:03 am

yes, a detail of gallipoli I hadn't known of before

4:03 am

you could take pics and share--that would be about as close as I would get to seeing them-lol

4:04 am

hi jack! much more stable than yesterday.

4:05 am

You must be a strong woman, I salute you

4:05 am

joso, i am guessing each country has it's own stories...all unique

4:05 am

simpson didn't get a medal due to bureaucratic nonsense, reminds me of your battles with the pen pushers

4:06 am

jack, wouldn't be this strong without my God and friends. i have had so much support.

4:07 am

maybe so, joso. but his role at gallipoli is firmly entrenched in our stories of that time.

4:07 am

hello rose . so sorry to hear about mil..hope you r holding up .

4:07 am

I'm glad as I gather you are a great provider of it as well

4:07 am

hey, ivesy. thanx dear friend

4:10 am

Morning Wor and 252 today

4:10 am

Morning pug xx and ty

4:10 am

{{little pugs}}

4:10 am

Howdy Ruby!

4:11 am

some prescription vit. plus folic acid.. she says it should help the exhaustion problem.. ..at least i know y im so tired now.lol

4:11 am

I've either scared Mum off or she's writing a novel for me!!

4:11 am

worzel, i have had so much support. DH is my rock, God is my comforter and solace, and my friends here are amazing. the messages have been pouring in. i am truly blessed.

4:12 am

Hope it works for you Ivesy. Maybe you will begin feeling like a teenager here soon

4:12 am

pfft, worzel...a novelette if you please...

4:12 am

cool Ivesy, who cares about scurvy if the blood suger is right, lol

4:12 am

g'day ruby, dear.

4:13 am

how cold is it there Ruby? Its 11 degrees here

4:13 am

joso, am on byduren shots... it is amazing.! course it doesnt help my smoking. but thats another story right

4:13 am

hello joso and ivesy and anybody I've missed

4:13 am

hi ruby, chilling down here too

4:13 am

morning ruby..

4:13 am

Mum you are, as everyone keeps saying, a very strong person. I don't know how you do it. I have a minor tummy problem and all of a sudden it gets me depressed! Well, maybe depressed is an exaggeration, but I ain't one to take to illness - I'm not ur usual man I just get on with it, but I can't complain what with all you've gone through lately xx

4:14 am

cold here too. seems all winter they post storm warnings.... just in case..

4:14 am

it is brutal, but the dogs don't seem to mind. They prefer being outside to being nestled by the hearth

4:15 am

I bet they do!--with their heavy coats its paridise to them-lol

4:15 am

worzel, complain away...or not....this strong man image is so passe. trying to make DH understand...it is okay to blurt out how you feel. tummy problem??? spill, dear. if not here, email me.xoxox

4:15 am

i would prefer the hearth ruby

4:16 am

eee, I dont want puke on my screen--LOL

4:16 am

smoking is my thing right now, moved into a non smoking house so decided now is the time to quit, started a champix prescription and will stop in 2 weeks, but in the meantime I have to step out every time I want to smoke

4:16 am

baby girl is almost as big as her brother and she's not even full-grownyet. She's a lovely moose of a girl with a wonderful thick an fluffy coat

4:17 am

or get a electric cig, Joso

4:17 am

It's not that I'm being all macho man, it's just I can't be doing with illness. I had my appendix out 6 weeks ago in a rather nasty op. Have all but recovered from it, but for at least the last 4 weeks I have had, on and off, very loose movements, shall we say. And last few days quite bad cramps. I'm associating it with a general bug because I feel ok otherwise, but my partner hasn't contracted the bug and we're together all the time so maybe it's not a bug. Probably just being a big old sissy really, aren't i?

4:17 am

yay you joso. use me as you champix buddy if you like. been there, got the t-shirt...

4:17 am

dr. said next appt. i better come in and say i have quit... and mean it.. ..pug, i have the elec cig.. made me sick lol

4:18 am

the problem, as I've read, with the e-cigs is that they don't know how safe they are, long-term

4:18 am

Night all

4:18 am

nn jack xx

4:19 am

yikes Ivesy--was planning on getting one next month

4:19 am

Night Jack

4:19 am

yes ruby.. and they do have nicotine ..i want just the vapor one.. no nicotine

4:19 am

worzel...maybe the antibiotics they gave you. try something which will stabilise the normal flora/fauna in your bowel. antibiotics have a tendency to knock them off. check with your local pharmacy.

4:19 am

sleep well, jack, hun

4:20 am

well may nite affect you like that pug.. just get the single one..they go about $9.00 here..

4:20 am

I'm going for the better living through chemistry route pugs, especilly as I have already laid out the 350 $ for the prescription

4:20 am

and eat yoghurt!!

4:20 am

and wor why you say you are a sissy just cause you dont feel well

4:20 am

Never thought of that Mum. Mind you I haven't been on the antibiotics for about a month or so, and that was when it started so maybe that's it! Oh ty SOOO much Mum I shall go to pharmacy tomorrow and ask their opinion! See, not only strong as an ox but a true blessing xx ty!!

4:21 am

good luck Joso--I hope you kick it

4:21 am

good luck from here too joso..

4:21 am

and I hope WOR you get feeling better too

4:22 am

tnx pug, ivesy, on that note beb, cig break, lol

4:22 am

aww thank you pug xx

4:22 am

lolol, worzel. just follow it up, dear. AB's have a well-earned reputation for that effect. you poor love! must be feeling ghastly.

4:22 am

Well, I certainly feel "washed out" shall we say!!

4:22 am

and rose how are you feeling after surgery wise..

4:23 am

doo you have yoghurt in the house. I even give it to the dogs when they ake antibiotics.

4:23 am

washed out or cleaned out--lol

4:23 am

ivesy, sooo much better. pain under control, moving around very well on the crutches.

4:23 am

Anyways I am going to slip off for a while and make some breakfast etc, see to the dog etc. I shall get some yoghurt or some pro-biotic drinks later and inform you all of my (hopefully slower) progress lmao! TY for all your concern and all your advice. Shall speak to u all in a bit xx

4:24 am

xoxox worzel

4:24 am

so good to hear rose..u strong like bull!! lol..thats a compliment

4:24 am

bye Wor

4:25 am

*giggle* ivesy...as my dad used to say...strong as a mallee bull...obstinate is a better description imho

4:26 am

where is our Sprite?

4:27 am

does this bull have horns too? lol

4:28 am

oh, yeah, pugs...nasty big curvy sharp ones....

4:29 am

4:30 am

I dont know Rose. she had one friday and it was can. due to weather

4:30 am

wow, quick 100 but off I go.

4:30 am

bye Ruby--hugs

4:31 am

f you see Sprite,pls say hello from me

4:31 am

whew, chilly tonight

4:31 am

hmmmm, maybe she feels down because she missed the support???

4:31 am

{{big group hug}}

4:31 am

ta ruby, enjoy lunch

4:31 am

see you tomorrow, dearest ruby.

4:32 am

don't know what a champix buddy is rose, but happy to be your bud on any terms

4:32 am

(going to "Sprite's" resto

4:33 am

joso, champix buddy helps you through the tough patches...and there will be a few...i have been there, mate, and will empathise with you and how you feel.

4:34 am

Sprite seemed ok yesterday, hope that is still true

4:35 am

ah, the smokers version of an AA sponsor

4:35 am

absolutely, mate. my son was mine.

4:36 am

why does a Fromelet have only one egg? Because an oeuf is enough

4:36 am

French omelet*

4:36 am

shes just so late and thats not like her

4:36 am

*woof*

4:36 am

groan

4:36 am

{{joso}}

4:36 am

ugh!!!!!

4:37 am

JOso on daily strength they have a support group on there for quiters

4:37 am

pugs, maybe she's having a well-deserved sleep-in

4:37 am

jokes from the bilingual playground

4:37 am

sorry, I never make jokes.....that's why

4:38 am

fe

4:38 am

hehehehe

4:38 am

hello pmf

4:38 am

Iam just a worry wart I guess

4:38 am

made me smile ruby, that's the whole point

4:39 am

Hi PMS

4:39 am

Hi Puglet

4:39 am

oops...pms....does that stand for what i think it stands for??

4:40 am

yea, everyone deserves the occasional weekend lay-in

4:40 am

hi pms

4:40 am

lol--was thinking the same

4:41 am

also hoping PMS was a girl and not a guy--lol

4:41 am

Pamela Millicent Soursbody, born of parents with little common sense

4:43 am

Is this someone you know, Joso

4:44 am

entirely made up pug

4:44 am

post marital syndrome...features erratic twitches, nervous glances over the shoulder and a tendency to say ' yes dear ' with very little provocation.

4:44 am

good morning my friends

4:45 am

ROSE! Am SOOOO glad to see you :) *hugs* my darling friend.

4:45 am

hope I haven't offended him/her, just a jest

4:45 am

SPRIRE!!! was worried--hugs and good morning

4:45 am

{{{spritey}}} yay!!! hugs!!!

4:45 am

hey sprite, how's life

4:45 am

No. Unfortunately just my initials and not what my parents gave me either.

4:45 am

*giggles at marital syndrome*

4:45 am

aw poor PMS. Quite the abbrev.

4:46 am

hi joso *hugs* hi pug! *hugs* I am good. Even slept well.

4:46 am

didnt mean to hurt your feelings PMS

4:47 am

so good to hear Sprite and Mrs Ruby said to tell you hi

4:47 am

okay, leaving initials alone....

4:47 am

Don't worry. You get used to it as initials.

4:47 am

ah, you must have truly loved him to take his name with this result, or is he filthy rich, hey hopefully both

4:47 am

aw dear ruby. *says hi back*

4:48 am

well you can't really hate it, PMS, or you wouldn't have picked it as your nom de plume. Hope you won't hate us for fooling around.

4:48 am

she went off to eat at your favorite place, she said

4:48 am

Didn't think about it. Don't think it was invented when I got married.

4:49 am

rose, darling, you are a marvel, back with us already. I told pug you would be :)

4:50 am

a lovely restaurant, pug, with not too many different things on the menu (I stink at choosing), a view on the lake, and very kind personnel.

4:50 am

*huge yawn* ....gulp, yes, sprite....whatever you say dear....meeting with funeral directors tomorrow morning...need to sleep...

4:51 am

you mean fang isnt trying to run the show

4:51 am

g'night rose, snuggle up to don and rest easy

4:51 am

*head nodding onto to chest* i'm not sleepy, truly i'm not....snort, snuffle....

4:51 am

oops. shouldnt of said that--sorry

4:51 am

sounds like bedtime to me, rose. Sleep well, my dear one. Angels will guide and protect you.

4:51 am

good night Rose, hugs

4:51 am

what, Fang trying to DO something? You gotta be kidding.

4:52 am

okay, if you say so....

4:52 am

it's so cute when the 5 year old insists they can stay up more

4:52 am

will catch up tomorroooowwwww

4:52 am

xoxox darlings.

4:53 am

I do. *kind but firm look on face* Sleep well. Dream of light and hope. And give your Don a hug from me too.

4:53 am

How are you today Sprite

4:53 am

am good, pug. Slept well. Calm day ahead of me. Puzzles to create, lol. And you?

4:53 am

don't give don a hug from me, wish him well, no hug

4:54 am

and you, joso? Not a gaming sunday today, apparently. More unpacking :)

4:54 am

lol joso, come on now, a good strong male bear hug.

4:54 am

everything is fine with me now that all the gang has checked in--well havent seen OO for a few days

4:55 am

no, me neither. Hope he will drop a line soon.

4:56 am

nope, need to know a guy for atleast 5 years before you move on from handshaking (unless you are on the same sport team)

4:56 am

ah, ok, see, never learned the inside information on maledom.

4:57 am

there are rules

4:57 am

what about women? 21/2 for them? lol

4:57 am

hehehehe

4:58 am

Sprite, glad you guys liked the ideal on the shed.

4:58 am

women? We are quite different. We can hug from day one. But watch your back, because quite a few ladies won't think twice about stabbing you in the back the moment you turn around.

4:58 am

for women, 3 minutes, any excuse to cop a feel

4:58 am

sure did, pug. Gave my love a whole new idea. Will brighten up the place considerably too... it is a dark hole inside, of course.

5:03 am

I have had a few friends that their hubby has tried to hit on me(in my younger days, that is) and I hated that uncompfy feeling--:(

5:03 am

one of our neighbours threw out a whole shelves system from a very good brand, my love could take it away for free (we brought them a big bouquet of flowers for it) and now he is installing it in his container. Sorry, workshop.

5:05 am

oh dear, yes, that is very unpleasant. Some men are like that.

5:05 am

sorry pug, I jest, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable

5:06 am

a good hug is not sexual at all. You can hug me anytime, joso, and I know my husband wouldn't mind :)

5:08 am

turn over---you didnt Joso--I was relating to back stabbers

5:10 am

have to admit to being an avid hugger. I truly believe that a hug is healing in so many ways. My love is a hugger too, and so are our children now.

5:11 am

there wasent alot in my family, but have learned to be more so as Ive gotten older

5:12 am

I am much more stand offish, shy away from touching until I trust someone, would hug either one of you on sight though

5:12 am

not much of it in my family either. Started hugging when I learned to love myself more, early stages, say around 25.

5:12 am

I would respect your distance, joso, but am glad I don't have to :) Would gladly hug you IRL.

5:13 am

what about 2 years ago> :)

5:14 am

are you asking me pug?

5:15 am

No, sprite---I would have no problem hugging you

5:15 am

would gladly hug you too, pug

5:16 am

My hair color puts a strike against me with Joso, as he stated long ago-lol

5:17 am

jeezzz is that un- prefix totally unproductive today?

5:17 am

ah red hair, like a moth to a flame

5:18 am

just 2 Sprite

5:18 am

ok, thanks pug, then I will keep looking

5:19 am

Iam having trouble with the s's today--and I usually get them pretty good

5:20 am

wow. I always have trouble with the S's. There are always too many of them, lol.

5:20 am

un7 and a ut5

5:20 am

ah ok, so only one un-?

5:20 am

yes, sorry I misled you

5:20 am

got them both. Praise be. Thanks pug :)

5:21 am

red hair, a natural trait of beauty.

5:21 am

alot of big words today

5:22 am

indeed. Am proud to say I found 3 7s and 3 8s all by myself, and even before hitting halfway.

5:24 am

Iam down to 113 and Iam about ready to go to lickety soon

5:26 am

good job, pug!

5:28 am

ok, even found 2 9s. Am amazing today. Or the grid is that easy, lol... guess which one.

5:28 am

I dont think so. been here since flip

5:29 am

Youre amazing!

5:30 am

*giggles* yeah right. Do you realise how much you learned already, pug? Down to 113 without help, that is something awesome. Would you have believed you could do that the first day you played?

5:31 am

well no,,and I can see a diferent on my other word game from playing here

5:32 am

oh I believe that! I have learned so much from babble too.

5:33 am

what puzzles you planning on making now

5:33 am

did you see my second Christmas star one? I like making those stars so much, lol... just a child with a new play thing.

5:33 am

Hi all :)

5:34 am

no--I didnt go there yesterday due to reading-lol

5:34 am

I love your star puzzles, sprite - saw the 2nd one today and will do the it when I have some time.

5:34 am

Hi Liz, wb

5:35 am

Always good to be back and happy that you're still here, pugs.

5:35 am

Iam about done with Julian--I have liked it very much

5:35 am

errr let me see... I have 2 halloween themes waiting to be made, Witches & black cats and Skulls & bats. Was thinking of doing a dutch theme one for touristic places in Amsterdam... one of the special canal houses... Any requests maybe?

5:35 am

hi Liz, lovely that you enjoy them! How are you doing today?

5:36 am

Will enjoy those! I love fantasy puzzles.

5:36 am

oh wow pug, am so glad :) Yeah, he is quite something, isn't he, that Julian. Nice to know his background, isn't it?

5:36 am

All's fine here, thanks. How are you - enjoying the weekend?

5:37 am

How's your daughter - was reading about her problems - but you weren't online at the time, so couldn't send you hugs!

5:37 am

yes, it makes one understand more of things in the later books////how about one of your neighborhood

5:37 am

had a bit of a rough week emotionally, Liz, and since yesterday I feel like I am getting my fe4 back under me, so yes, enjoying it very much :)

5:37 am

With the puzzles, is there a way of having the images onscreen, whilst completing the puzzles?

5:38 am

oh, I could do that, pug. Would have to make pictures first then... could be a nice project when I walk Terra.

5:38 am

Yes, it sounded like a really rubbish week for you but hopefully this week will be better.

5:38 am

Have you cooked anything this weekend?

5:38 am

can you show the before and after of the street work

5:38 am

Liz, not readily. You can either hit the pauze button and see the small one, or you can open the puzzle page on a second tab of your browser.

5:39 am

I didn't take pictures from that, pug :(

5:39 am

have you got group in the morning Sprite

5:39 am

I figured that was the case. I did the first star puzzle without looking at the pic! A good challenge!

5:39 am

no, I cooked on Thursday this last week. Spaghetti with leek, bacon and herb cheese.

5:40 am

I liked that one too--was so pretty

5:40 am

Leave the bacon out for me and it sounds yummy!

5:40 am

woot Liz, indeed :) I like doing mosaic puzzles. It is like doing a lot of mini puzzles.

5:40 am

Probably yummy even with the bacon, just not for me!

5:40 am

WHAT! no bacon! lol

5:40 am

you a veggie, Liz?

5:40 am

No - not kosher, so I don't eat it.

5:41 am

wow liz, so few are kosher these days

5:41 am

Depends where you are joso!

5:41 am

Sprite, dont think I ever told this but I have two neighbours with the last name of Bacon-lol

5:42 am

ah I see. The dish needs something with a strong taste or it will be too bland. Don't know kosher food well enough to think of a substitute. But anything with a bit of oomph will do.

5:42 am

stick you in the same room with crossy and something might implode, lol

5:42 am

roflolllll pug! Don't tell crossy... he will become a maneater :)

5:42 am

I was at Hebrew School (Sunday School) as a kid, with a kid with the surname of Bacon. Ironic for a Jewish kid!

5:42 am

oh dear, what a rotten name for a child to have

5:43 am

No - it'd be fine Joso - he'd happily have all the bacon.

5:44 am

true enough, he would't mind having extra, hehehehe

5:44 am

Smoked salmon would probably substitute well for the bacon in that pasta dish.

5:44 am

I bet poor crossy isnt eating bacon right now

5:44 am

do you like to read detective novels, Liz?

5:44 am

Yes, sprite.

5:44 am

oh, smoked salmon is always good, lol. I love it. Yes, that would do just fine.

5:45 am

there is this series by Faye Kellerman, about a detective who falls in love with a Jewish woman and learns to adapt to the ways of her faith. Very interesting and good reads.

5:46 am

I love Faye Kellerman books - also the ones her husband writes - Jonathan Kellerman.

5:46 am

crossy has to watch his bacon intake and he does. He does pretty well with making choices... and he is a marvel at making lovely dishes anway :)

5:47 am

about 1% of static on your television is caused by Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) this is leftover radiation from the big bang about 13.7 billion years ago.

7:52 am

7:53 am

There's a fun dust joke...A mom had been telling her son about the "dust to dust" way of thinking about life. One day he came running to her and said "Hey, Mom, look under my bed...someone's either coming or going!"

7:54 am

Just heard from grannyrose and she is grateful for all the wonderful support from her Babble community. Wanted to pass that along.

8:23 am

bbl

8:29 am

What happened with grannyrose? I've been a bit out of the loop...

8:32 am

Hi, sue! First, her mother died and there was a problem with her son regarding the funeral, then she had surgery (knee, I think) and then her mother-in-law died...all within a month.

8:32 am

Holy cow. That is a lot to deal with!!

8:33 am

Yes, it is. Everyone here has been concerned about her and many have written supportive emails, myself included. I think it really helps to know so many people care...this is such a great community.

8:34 am

It really is. I got so much support when Frank was sick - I used my profile as a kind of diary and it was quite therapeutic :-)

8:35 am

Hmmm, I wonder if I am her friend on Facebook?

8:36 am

I remember that, sue. Everyone has been giving me support for my dinner with my daughter tomorrow as well...I'm hopeful we an move forward now...I have missed her so much.

8:36 am

can move forward

8:37 am

ah, good luck with that!! I will be thinking of you.

8:38 am

I can't find grannyrose on the babble facebook list; if you can send me her email (you can message me on facebook) I'll send her a note.

8:38 am

I'm making her favorite...my chicken paprikash.

8:39 am

ooh, sounds good! My dissertation advisor was Hungarian, and he and his wife had me over to dinner once - her chicken paprikash was very yummy!

8:40 am

(didn't mean to one-up you at all - you just triggered a fond memory...)

8:42 am

No problem. I just messaged you on FB with Rose's email address.

8:42 am

Good day to all.

8:42 am

I even had a blackboard rubber thrown at my head when i was a nipper at school.

11:21 am

I guess you mean an eraser. you must have been a naughty boy :)

11:23 am

No i was a good lad most of the time..i sat next to a naughty lad and i of5 got the blame for his bad behaviour.

11:23 am

I need one more n to gray out the right column

11:23 am

oh, ok

11:25 am

It was a rough school i went to though, Peri, A teacher had also got arrested for beating a boy up..he just could not take anymore of his constant mis-behaving.

11:25 am

oh dear. I am glad you survived all that

11:27 am

Grabbed the boys head by the hair and repeatedly banged his head against the table...I must admit to being glad it happened at the time (not now) he was such a bully at school.

11:29 am

The kid was a bully i mean although as it turned out..so was the teacher...anyway i am stopping you doing the puzzle..so will get back to it myself :-)

11:29 am

I don't mind, zooz

11:53 am

A fine, wet snow, has been falling since the wee hours here. The flakes have gotten bigger and are falling faster now. Still wet, though.

11:53 am

Hiya, zooz, mith, peri, et al :)

11:53 am

Sounds like the Bully got some sense knocked into his head

11:54 am

hi, ru

11:54 am

get out. it's snowing in dc and nothing here in new england?

11:54 am

how i miss dc

11:54 am

Hey dc

11:54 am

not because of the snow, just generally

11:54 am

good afternoon all! It is snowing like crazy here. we have 6 inches so far and no signs of letting up. Wondering if the freezing rain that was predicted will happen.

11:54 am

hi, mab, it is, though the end result is supposed to be mostly ice -- we'll see.

11:55 am

we only have about 4 here so far -- there was a 3h gap in the snowfall where i am.

11:55 am

actually we are getting snow and ice and rain later today

11:55 am

It is cold here but not snowing

11:55 am

i'm guessing the same system moving up the coast, mab. Enjoy :)

11:56 am

does it ever snow in northern california?

11:56 am

hi babblers

11:56 am

11:56 am

11:57 am

I could not agree more, DC!

11:58 am

DC, The snow started shortly after 9 am and hasn't stopped.

11:58 am

11:59 am

where are you living now, dc. generally.

11:59 am

Here, it started about 8, and stopped around 11 til about a half hour ago.

11:59 am

Hi everyone :) I have se8/45 and te8/50, may I have stats for the remaining one, please?

12:04 pm

Yes, we are playing the chiefs.

12:04 pm

The skins need all the help they can get!

12:04 pm

12:05 pm

gm ru.

12:05 pm

gm ru.

hmm, the drawing word...*searching*

12:06 pm

Hello TO :-)

12:06 pm

so my son the librarian got a job. in Folsom State Prison (but he qualifies, it's the NEW folsom state prison)

12:06 pm

I tend to think everyone is in my time zone :D

12:06 pm

no owl, not the drawing word

12:06 pm

change the last letter

really good for him.

12:06 pm

wow.. Folsom is a pretty area

12:07 pm

Always reminds me of Johnny Cash wehn i hear about that prison..lol

12:07 pm

is it dangerous at all for him doren?

12:07 pm

When*

12:07 pm

so, they're looking for a place somewhere near davis ?? so that IF jaime gets a job in Sf they can each commute.

well then i will search for the other tr5 ty

12:07 pm

What was the name of the Prison that Cash sang in?

12:07 pm

ah

12:08 pm

maybe dixon would be better

12:08 pm

folsom, zooz

12:08 pm

folsom, zooz

12:08 pm

there are some nice areas in Dixon

12:08 pm

Davis is expensive due to the college

12:08 pm

Ah so it is the same one..lol

12:09 pm

we hope not, ru. it is a maximum security prison. i'm thinking after a few years there, he would be able to write a terrific book

12:09 pm

yes he would be bound to write a book :D

12:10 pm

expensive due to the college, but then again, it has the sort of places, coffeeshops, etc that they like being able to be near, also due to the college

12:10 pm

yes true.

12:10 pm

now a lot of puns about books, ru? i am off in a few minutes, just hoping to whittle down what i need to a manageable number for the evening

12:10 pm

that would be a hell of a commute to SF though

12:11 pm

coming back on 80 east is horrible..especially Fridays

12:11 pm

well, she doesn't actually even have a job. i don't know what they're thinking. Her sister's in Napa and they want somewhere closer to them i think, too

12:11 pm

dixon is one hour from Napa

12:12 pm

thank goodness for libraries in prisons.

12:12 pm

ten minutes from Davis

12:12 pm

that's how I read it too Mab

12:12 pm

She could find a job in Sacramento easier than SF i'm guessing

12:12 pm

yes mab. i agree, for multiple reasons. I will tell him to look at dixon ru. (How far is it from Folsom?)

12:13 pm

my ex is a librarian. in dc. in journalistic setting

12:13 pm

without traffic.. maybe 40 minutes

12:13 pm

Sounds like the travel will be a bind.

12:13 pm

Clue for the re8, please?

12:13 pm

he is brilliant

12:13 pm

his hours are 7:30 - 3:30 or something like that.

12:14 pm

off commute.. that's good

12:14 pm

Re8 to pour wine into another vessel?

12:14 pm

actually, libraries are as close as most prisons get to providing rehabilitation, i think

12:15 pm

lol zoom.. want to TAKE That back :?

12:15 pm

my ex is brilliant too. and so are our sons... took david forever to get back to college, then he was very focused and went straight for his MS in library science. He actually prefers archival work, but this is what he got and I'm thinking he'll enjoy it.

12:15 pm

ty, zooz, found it :)

12:15 pm

it will certain'y not be boring for him doren

12:15 pm

Sorry that is for the DE..but you can still get there with it.

does he enjoy working with people?

12:16 pm

i'm really looking forward to hearing his stories.

12:16 pm

yes, thanks zooz

12:16 pm

I always make massive clue mistakes when you around, Ru..lol

12:16 pm

i sometimes think of getting a msl; rather late in life, but i would like to do archival work too.

12:17 pm

is the job market pretty tight? for librarians?

12:17 pm

Dinner's ready. Happy babbling and thanks for all the great clues.

12:17 pm

was just looking at google maps and wow the traffic is terrible!

12:17 pm

Enjoy your meal, Biltong :-)

12:17 pm

you don't mention tight in prisons mab :D

12:18 pm

he enjoys helping people... explaining things, he did IT stuff for a while and was great with that. But he doesn't suffer fools gladly, and has issues with authoritative a**holes.

12:18 pm

LOL, RU

12:18 pm

oh, me too.

12:18 pm

I think it is mab.... He had been looking for over 6 months... more intensively after he moved out there in August

12:19 pm

he's had some nice weather this year doren

Ive never really understood that phrase.

traditaonal librarian jobs are very scarce.

12:20 pm

hmm... i wonder if the federal government uses lots of librarians.

12:20 pm

don't have to understand it to use it... my feeling is that it means don't put up with them easily

12:20 pm

he was working at the fed reserve bank in boston and enjoying it , but no openings in the SF branch

12:21 pm

i think for homeland security issues they do use librarians. creepy.

12:21 pm

ok folk. I need to go read... book club tomorrow and I'm only 60 % done. Also have to make curried butternut squash soup.

if a woman more likely to be called a vee yatch

12:21 pm

Enjoy the rest of your day, Dorens :-)

12:22 pm

vee yatch? no comprendo

bee yatch. i guesss that is the point i never understood.

12:22 pm

thanks zoo... you too.. and everyone else

12:22 pm

12:23 pm

12:31 pm

nt

12:34 pm

Pop to the shops and get one :-)

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

Just think nice cheese on toast yum yum.

12:34 pm

lol phan, that is always the way! i was out earlier and decided against getting meat for meat load. Now eatching cooking channel and guess what they are making

12:35 pm

Oh sory did not trelise you were having bad weather :-(

12:36 pm

Frederick, MD

12:36 pm

Phan, tsk, tsk. Have you not lived here long enough to do the bread, milk and toilet paper run before a storm? : D

12:36 pm

TO, That's fine. It's just a comfort food kind of day!

12:37 pm

meat load is a good description of what I make. No matter what I do, it is always too dense and tastes live liver. Awful!

i was in the parking lot and it was so full i just left.

12:37 pm

We had no need for milk or TP, never looked at our bread stores. Hangs head in shame.

aw, ruby.

hey molly.

12:37 pm

The main thing to keep stocked up on is chocolate :-)

12:38 pm

it's actually a family joke, that's how bad it is.

12:38 pm

We do have some chocolate!

12:38 pm

Hello Molly!!!

12:42 pm

Hey all!

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

Bloody snow is such a bain!.....Great to look at.It is not for traveling in.

12:42 pm

hello car.

12:42 pm

Hello, Car!

12:43 pm

Hello Zooz! Hello Ruby! Hello everyone!

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

phantom: cantata

12:43 pm

12:44 pm

Sea*

12:45 pm

I think, TO, is in shock of what is outside her window as she has not come back yet.

12:45 pm

It sounded terrible in the forecasts; I feared for Sprite in the Netherlands

12:46 pm

Yes it did not look good on the news..but where i am it is as if nothing happened.

12:46 pm

My husband says it looks like we have 8 inches so far.

12:46 pm

Does your dog like snow, phan

12:46 pm

Not good news then, Phan, especially if it is still snowing.

hi car. where is there 8 inches already?

12:47 pm

Yes, she loves it! She has a blast outside.

12:47 pm

If we in the UK had anything more than a few inches then everything shuts down and we can not cope.

12:47 pm

It is still snowing, but seems to have slowed down some.

12:47 pm

The baby dog has developed an incredible coat and stays outside as much as she can. She looks huge and she's not even a year old

12:48 pm

Frederick, MD, TO

12:48 pm

and nutpea too.. a backwards peanut

12:49 pm

LOL, Aloy :-)

12:49 pm

12:51 pm

wow. the forecast said we north and west of the city would get more but it appears that is backwards.

12:51 pm

white fluff sounds like bichon's dogs

12:51 pm

The cat has melted into my lap. I dare not move.

12:51 pm

That is what it was like for us this morning, Judi.

12:51 pm

1:06 pm

My sister has now boxed and this is the truth here..137 large boxes of toys for her two children..and most of them have never been opened and the children have never even seen lots of them.

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

hahahaha like it, Joso!

1:08 pm

Wow, zooz. That is amazing. Tis the season to be donating. There are several children who would love to have those unopened toys.

1:08 pm

she can keep them 'til she has grandchildren

1:09 pm

I agree, judi

1:10 pm

Well, Judi, funny you should say that..my sister has donated 15 large boxes to charities recently...yet there is so much more she could give.

1:10 pm

1:15 pm

I think my sister is going to be worth a fortune in many years to come with the unopened toys...some very old toys are worth lots when boxed and in mint condition...lol

1:15 pm

well, it seems to have stopped snowing here. 8 inches is the final tally for us.

1:15 pm

I think that is more than enough, Phan...lol

1:16 pm

Hello WV!

Hello, Teach :-)

1:19 pm

hello car and zooz

1:21 pm

Bought a Subaru Forester on Wednesday . Guess my timing was good. Now have 4X4 for the crappy road conditions.

1:21 pm

Have one! Love it!

1:22 pm

1:22 pm

1:23 pm

My husband has a Mazda CX5. He expressed envy for my higher ground clearance.

1:23 pm

Judi, we bought a Forester too. Had ours a little longer than you, but I gave it it's first test today. It passed with flying colors!

1:23 pm

We were really interested in the new Mazda CX5 but decided on the 2007 Forrester with 60K miles

1:25 pm

Love hubby's CX5 too.

1:25 pm

Sounds like you ladies need that type of car with all that snow you are getting.

1:26 pm

Actually, snow doesn't show up too of/5 here in the mid-Atlantic (fortunately!). We either get a big storm or a whole lot of nothing.

1:27 pm

I will take the whole lot of nothing. I do not want any storms this season.

1:28 pm

snow has stopped here, supposed to get rain. hope it holds off til bro-in-law gets home from work

1:28 pm

Amen to that, Peri. I'd rather be shaking coconuts out of palm trees than shoveling.

1:28 pm

me too

1:28 pm

lol

1:28 pm

I am cutting back on shoveling this year. we will see what happens

1:28 pm

4:40 pm

entire

4:41 pm

sure beats scarfing ramen noodles 4 days a week:))

4:42 pm

we probably have that brand here - will look for it (but wouldn't buy 10 pounds of it, would take far too long for us to use that much)

4:42 pm

takes a bit of time indeed.but rice keeps well

welk, are you over the weather change

4:43 pm

<-- is making short grain brown rice and chili beans

i only eat borwn rice

sounds lovely for a cold evening

4:43 pm

oh owl, it's rough. from 85F to -20F - we're looking at places in arizona!

lol we danced the cold away last night to curley taylor

4:44 pm

try NV, welki.most of last summer near my brothers place there is was 100f or better:))

4:44 pm

florida was really nice, but i don't think i'd like it in july or august

i never heard of ac in a car until i visitied FL in summer. it was standard there before everywhere else.

4:45 pm

not for me though.he can have it

4:46 pm

lol,that and wearing sweaters the second it drops below 75f

4:46 pm

4:47 pm

well if not logged in, yes. nothing eartch shattering

now wait a cotton picking moment all. we are snowed in. don't give us food cravings.

4:50 pm

the john lennon summer photos? saw it this morning - loved it

no. i must check out your post though it is intriguing.

4:52 pm

<-- doesn't remember posting anything 'intriguing' - just the usual useless stuff *lol*

holy !

did you see the nnaught dogs? your post reminds me of the one who would not top bothering the pet hedehog till he got a face full

4:55 pm

ohhhhh - the one in which dogs are wearing the labels of shame? i've seen it, experienced it and thought most of them were hilarious

yes. lots of excrement issues though.

4:56 pm

uhm - the dogs wearing the labels of shame, not me - although i'm sure some would think i should as well. well hell yeah - i guess there were times i deserved to :)

hehehehe

4:57 pm

*shrug* if it eats, there are excrement issues.

4:57 pm

stuck in the first ta 7/28 ?

4:57 pm

coppertone ta* + scarlet o'hara's home

i think that is why the idea of a dog is only intermittently appealing.

4:58 pm

thenks welkie

back in the day one could leave those issues behind, so to speak.

4:59 pm

and why we don't have cats these days

4:59 pm

brb

i hear that, sister

after time awa from cleaning out cat boxed one get squeamish.

Hi everyone in view.... TO, welki, sammysmom, bichon, crossy, WVteach !! :-)

5:03 pm

seriously considering no more dogs after these - but i really love having them around

5:03 pm

diane :)

:-)

hi diane

5:04 pm

maybe smaller breeds - i waffle back and forth

and it's meat loaf, mashed potatoes and creamed corn and a small salad here.

oh no! there was a meat loaf disscusion earlier. we have snow and cannot get near the grocery but are craving.

oh my! judi was here earlier complaining and they got 8"!

sorry .... lol

:)

it is agood thing i need to clean before the window washer comes tomorrow or i would be baking browmies right about now.

And as for the snow situation, we have over a foot on the level and piled up about 2 to 3 feet where we shovel. We had -32 C here the other day with a wind chill of -49..... It's much nicer today... clear, sunny and -16 C

I feel bad for the poor folks having the ice storms.... they are devastating :-(

and if i dare say you are used to it will you whack me with a babblefish?

Nope... it's true !! I've lived in this country for 73 years...and I still love winter!

yes. there is nothing worse. problems even if one stays home.

5:11 pm

lol diane! you love winter from afar!

lived througha huge one with power shortages it was awful, three days

However, I'm loving our little 3 1/2 month's jaunts to Arizona every year now..... we leave for destinations south on Dec. 29

5:12 pm

diane, please save some for me or at least send me your recipe

snow, or meatloaf ? lol

Hi ruby :-)

5:13 pm

our pups are very discrete, they poop in the shrubbery where no one ever goes I've never seen either dog do it. Chows are very private.

ruby. in search of the perfect meatloaf.

5:14 pm

I would welcome any receipes and my address is I y profie 9never been updated 0 bad, lazy el)

this is a bugger of a grid. still need 41

ruby, it has to be in the ratios.

My meat loaf is very basic.... hubby prefers it the way his mom made it... no fancy spices, no cheese in it etc.

what is your binder besides an egg?

I still have 71 words left

5:15 pm

bread soaked in milk

5:15 pm

i use breadcrumbs

i have used that rarely. use crumbs oats or minced celery and carrot. i make different loaves.

5:16 pm

bread crumbs here are not like progresso, they're finer and tasteless. I use some good seasons Italian seasoning and ketchup

actually, use bread in milk for meatballs.

5:16 pm

I use a store

I use 2# ground beef, one can tomato soup, 2 eggs, about 1/2 a sleeve of crackers ( saltines ) rolled fine, finely chopped onion... salt and pepper. And yes, like welki, I use my own bread crumbs if I've got any.

5:16 pm

<-- allergic to oatmeal

oats work well. one of the best is the bottom of the bag crumbs from bran cereal.

aha.... I use bread in milk for meatballs too... makes them so nice and fluffy.

The "store" works too, joso :-)

yes. i changed over to romano parmesan blend as well and that kicked them up at notch in flavor, though i don't like pecorino for anything else.

5:19 pm

the /French don't eat meat loaf and my friends think I'm crazy

but back to poor ruby. i remember m first couple of loaves, no recipe just from watching my mother cook it. like bricks.

5:19 pm

Ah, so I could add some good Paresan?

they eat pa - TAY . we are now talking meatballs.

5:20 pm

that was exactly my problem, and hers was always delicious, especially for sandwiches the net day

heaviness is the ratio of the other ingredients.

5:21 pm

I've written down Diane's receipe

how loose is the mixture?

hubby likes it cold for breakfast, with eggs and hash browns !

that is great, ruby. let us know how it turns out.

5:22 pm

I'll make it on Tuesday with mashed potatoes and let you know

5:22 pm

good night all, it's very late

My girls never used to mix theirs well enough... and they always sort of fell apart... I use my hands, and mix until I can pick the whole "blob" up with my hand.... need to get the egg mixed in well.

deal

i make one that uses tomato sauce and surround it with carrots while baking. carrots love tomato sauce.

5:23 pm

thank you everybody

5:23 pm

i have a standing invitation to the gal who boards my dogs - whenever there's meat loaf, she's here :)

another quick trick ruby for seasoning is to add mild salsa and top it with same

5:23 pm

carrots sound like a good idea

My son in law makes a groove in the center, puts mozzarella cheese or similar in it, then covers it over with remaining meat. It's good too.

i hate salsa but it has everythink one might want to use for seasoning.

5:24 pm

i make mine plain and simple - good the first day, great for sandwiches the next

5:24 pm

these are all good ideas. If it tastes like liver (AGAIN), I'll put it in the pb

minced vegetables are great binders in lieu of bread products.

I'm getting hungry, and it's still an hour 'til supper !!

5:25 pm

if you're in a pinch, salsa added to a can of pinto beans makes a nice side dish - you can spice it up, dress it up with onions/peppers if you want

gee thanks a lot rubes ! :P

same here welki...the plain and simple

tnx, welk will try.

5:25 pm

hello everyone -- ugly grid for me.

5:25 pm

It's 12"30 and I just ate a duck pate sandwich which will probably make me sick during the night. Allways a smart eater NOT

5:26 pm

yummmmm - pate

5:26 pm

hi, nan

dear me, you should be dreaming.

5:26 pm

works well with black beans, too, owl

hi nan

Hi nan.... think "food" ....it makes the grid easier to take !

5:26 pm

wish I had some duck pate!

5:27 pm

there is a wonderful duck pate here from the Dordogne which the local store carries.

5:27 pm

*woof*

5:27 pm

oh i can see me in the store - do you have any duck pate from the Dordogne? "No, welki, but we have some liverwurst in a tube"

5:27 pm

yum -- still miss the fois gras we used to be able to get, though

LOL....

lolol

there was a big flap about fois gras here. animal cruelty issues.

5:29 pm

seriously

how about the r that begins the fourth row?

5:29 pm

we can get the duck pate from a local italian grocery and sometimes Save-on brings it in at Christmas

and does the un word use another grid word? would love stats for that grid word

5:30 pm

only animal cruelty issues related to fois gras? other parts are okay? just not the liver? LOLOL

5:30 pm

TO - showed a tv program again re5

5:30 pm

<-- will look for duck pate (but not ask where it comes from)

apparently

thanks dan

5:30 pm

same here TO -- darned tree huggers couldn't stick to trees. We eat eggs and the laying hens are treated just as badly.

i will not eat liver. it cleanses the body, how can it be ok to eatno wonder it tastes bad.

sorry, just a statement, no indictment meant.

5:32 pm

I have tried both pattern and attract multiple times

5:32 pm

i like liver. liver and onions. chicken livers wrapped in bacon. chopped liver. liverwurst. pate of unknown origin. and soon - duck pate!

5:33 pm

the problem is that it doesn't taste bad when mixed with lots of heavy cream...

5:34 pm

my son in law is brazilian - we've had skewers of barbecued, marinated chicken hearts - yum!

5:34 pm

(one of my sons in law)

i think it is a love it or not thing. i have been urged to taste all variations and all are equally bad to my tastebuds. i don't eat skin or fat either.

5:34 pm

2nd nu 6, please?

5:35 pm

nm - found it

5:35 pm

sounds like a genetic deviation

oh no. we had a 50 car pileupon the tpke with a fatality

5:37 pm

*sigh*

5:37 pm

(i feel the same about lima beans, owl)

we have been making the nationsl news nightly for the past week - and not for good things.

5:37 pm

wow -- must be really slippery on the roads, TO

i have not been out since before noon. glad of it.

my chog is normal size but it does not have the time of day.

7:33 pm

you have to scroll to the right to see the time....it's still too long

7:35 pm

i have four left....doesn't seem like it's do-able for me tonight

7:35 pm

Oh, good heavens, the dog was jumping on me and wacking my hand, I didn't even notice what had happened! What can I do to fix it. I am soo sorry.

7:40 pm

May I please have a clue for ta5-10 the 2nd? Thanks

7:40 pm

gail thinks she broke it, but i don't see how that is possible.

i lost interest in cleaning so returned to the grid. now i realize i have lost interest in it as well.

lol posted a long url?

7:41 pm

oh no!

7:41 pm

i know that feeling

7:41 pm

TO - no, I did not. It usually happens when someone posts too pic a picture or puts too many exclamation marks or question marks at the end of a post.

i really REALLY need to clean. i dumped all of the stuff from my dad's in the spare room and one cannot even walk in it.

7:42 pm

Or posted too long a url. Use tinyurl, folks!

hey jen :-)

hi jen!

8:00 pm

did you all here about the death at Arrowhead in KC last week?

8:01 pm

no.. ?

8:01 pm

where a man was found in the wrong Jeep and then someone hit him and he died?

8:02 pm

wow..

8:02 pm

good evening.

8:02 pm

over a JEEP? wow

8:02 pm

I happened to know the family

8:02 pm

hi phan

8:03 pm

hi phan

huh?

8:03 pm

that's awful, Jen.

8:03 pm

what was he doing in the wrong car?

8:03 pm

no, not over the jeep ruru, they thought he was taking things from it

8:03 pm

he was drunk

8:04 pm

the jeep must have been unlocked

8:04 pm

oh..

8:04 pm

duh should have considered that

8:04 pm

the jeep he came in was about 10 cars down

8:04 pm

I've done that

8:04 pm

tried to get in the wrong car

8:05 pm

I felt pretty darn stupid

people have so much rage. i think we need prozac in the water supply.

8:07 pm

my neighbor went to work one day and forgot to turn off the car. was still running at the end of the day.

8:07 pm

apparently, the guy who hit him wasn't the owner of the Jeep

8:07 pm

why'd he hit the guy?

8:07 pm

that's such a strange tale of fate, jen

8:08 pm

ne6/21?

8:08 pm

he came from another group and saw a struggle and he hit Kyle in the head

8:09 pm

wow.. that's really sad

8:09 pm

nm

8:09 pm

how awful!

8:09 pm

it is, and what's worse is he had a seven-week old son

8:10 pm

another vigilante deciding to take the law into his own hands? or someone looking for a fight?

8:10 pm

that's terrible

8:10 pm

probably someone looking for a fight, no one has been charged yet, waiting on toxicology results

8:11 pm

agree with temple; we need something in the water to calm everyone, like qualudes.

pls if the un is added to a scored grid word, may i have the stats for the base word? ty. sorry to interrupt but i need my last word. ty

un7

8:11 pm
