Hi Mini
ah! It is nice to get up to a clean kitchen, though, isn't it?
I have to say.. it really is
since i'm up and we have guests, i might should go empty the dishwasher so there's spoons and bowls when they awake.
Feel exactly the same way.

Happy Christmas Eve to all Down Under. xoxo

hi diz!
WTG DC!!
Mine is clean, but haven't decided when I am unloading dishwasher, yet...
It was and there was a man, and a woman with a large skirt, moulded on the top: mannli and wibli. Fights for the wibli side cos her skirt had more cake in it!
ai 7 what we breathe + sage (not the spice)
LOL... sweet memory
ai7 I suppose pilots must be this?
sure hope so LOL
dictionary dot com doesn't recognise it. One up to Enable!
I'm stopping at 184 words and 1992 points. Be back later
sleep well, minver
normally, dishwasher is in the AM, but housemate's brother and family are visiting, and with a 13-month old, easy access matters. :)
That sure is the truth, dc! Have you been cooking up a storm?
i did the other day -- several gallons of two different root veggie stews, some frozen, some in fridge, tonight it was sesame asparagus with garlic, carrot, and water chestnuts. i'll try to be up for empanadas in the AM filled with curried veggies and eggs.
dc you are making me hungry
Our kids aren't coming until next weekend, so still haven't decided what to fix. What is an empanada, please?
Your stews always look and sound great.
it's like a british pasty, but from latin america
alee
so, a savory or sweet filled dough that's baked and served warm or at room temp.
aling
I'll have to check for a recipe. Hard to make?
hi, zas
drig
drat
no, rather easy. I use biscuit dough when i'm feeling lazy. Proper empanada dough needs boiling water.
we all do it sometimes, zas, no biggee. :)
you can fill with whatever you like.
I used to make little steamed bread parcels with finely-chopped meat and veg in called Bo-Pe in some chinese dialect.
i brush 'em which melted butter out of the oven, often seasoned to complement the filling.
baozi (Mandarin) are similar, but steamed rather than baked, exactly, scouter.
huh. ENABLE knows not 'airbag' but it takes 'gasbag'. go fig.
sounds like they might be good with apples or peaches
I just found an li8 what the chog helps to do
oh, yes, indeed, Dee :)

That will be a lovely day for you.
not this year, liz. christmas day service 10am tomorrow. with all the drugs on board, i would probably fall asleep and make a fool of myself, dribbling into the chalice...lolol
Are you and Don dressing in Mr and Mrs Santa Suits? :)
Sounds like a sensible move Rose.
pugs, yes, hun. the higher compression stockings are helping. feet and lower legs much less swollen.
That's good news.
thats good news Rose---how about the hands?
and you, liz? it's hannukkah, isn't it?
pugs, hands still swollen...
Chanukah was early this year. Beginning of December. We're just having a quiet time, recovering after a houseful of guests.
Liz, you dont have christmas
ahh, sorry, hun. i am out of touch with your celebrations.
No Pugs we don't.
No Rose. You had other stuff happening!
Np!
liz, you will have to email with the celebration calendar for you.
It changes every year! The Jewish year is lunar. Sorry if you knew that!
It changes every year! The Jewish year is lunar. Sorry if you knew that!
Ooooops!
then again...i could always google your events calendar...that would give me a heads up.
I need to educate myself on your beliefs too Liz so I dont say anything to hurt you
You don't hurt me Pugs. I'll always answer questions, if I can.
*giggle* my elderly lady whom i used took look after always kept me on track.
aagghh * to *
Next major festival is Passover (Pesach) in mid-April.
I dont even think we have Jewish people or a church any where near us
A Jewish church is called a synagogue pugs or in Hebrew Shul, which I've seen in the grid before now.
okay...makes note...mid-april...passover...but we also celebrate it within our church, so i had better not forget it. we like to stay in touch, so to speak, not forgetting jesus was jewish.
The only thing I know is from the bible
oops, dinner here. see you later
as do we too
later Rose
Easter and Passover are more or less at the same time in 2014.
Bon appetite Rose.
Just off to check emails, pugs. Back very soon.

Morning OO and you are welcome---:)
helloooo o-o. how are you, at this moment?
Lickety has one 7/44 abr too many.
yay, dianne, well done, sweetie
Hello, rose. I am sort of
nice icon OO---kind of wouldnt mind it looking like that here right now
yeah, o-o. ditto here. trying out high compression stockings today. seems like they may be a goer. how is christmas shaping up for you, mate?
When is christmas this year?
o-o..is that an impressionist painting? if so, who's is it?
no idea, rose
naughty o-o...
naughty o-o...
where did you find it, o-o?
on the internet
Its OO out in the field--:)
hmmm. it certainly looks impressionistic, doesn't it?
its the sower by van gogh
I have a sister that is very good at painting and sketching and dosent use her skills at all---such a waiste
oh, thanx o-o. should have guessed by the colours. very van Gogh
very unhappy here. just broke a tooth, whilst cleaning them. i have had no pain...nothing. now i have to wa4 until well into the new year before dentist/ orthotist are back from their break. aagghh!!
ahh Rose can you ever have any good luck
is it a tooth from your gums or from your dentures? :)
waahh. it is nearly 10pm here...and now he brings out the gifts to wrap...*snort* pugs...i will survive...my God says i will.
a tooth from my gums. as i said, no pain at all.
nothing like waiting until the last minute
are you going to help or just watch
we don't have to give them until boxing day...so, technically, not last minute.
how soon is boxing day after x-mas
i have to write the cards...he simply cannot write a message on a letter/card. even if it's only to... and from...
the next day. christmas is the 25th, boxing day is the 26th.
is any of your family coming to spend the night
God, i love him...he makes me feel as if i am worth-while.
now you know you are!
no, pugs...we are on our own, for the first time in 10 years.
does it bother you any
on boxing day Rose are you boxing kangeroos?
It is rather confusing ... if boxing day is the 26st, why are you boxing now?
not any more, dear. this year will be the first in ages where all my brothers and their families will be totally relaxed.
lolol...o-o...just getting ready, mate...
OO are you spending christmas with your mother? I think I remember way back you and your mother went somewhere(hope Iam not wrong on this)
traditionally, every gift needs to be in a box...hence boxing day. but i am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs...apologies o-o
Is that a holiday there Rose or just something your family has
I have not been anywhere for christmas in many years. just another day.
yeah, o-o. what will you be doing christmas day?
waiting for the xmas music to stop
all of australia celebrates christmas over the 2 days.
o-o....one day you and i will be together, and every day will be a celebration.
My therapist tells me I am a social retard .... my idea of a celebration is to change the leg I have crossed.
is there a reason for boxing day Rose? Like christmas is christ birthday
Yes, pug. boxing day is for the help.
pugs, as i said...traditionally, gifts were all presented in boxes...they were given to the recipients on boxing day. christmas day was set aside purely for worship.
The first weekday after Christmas, celebrated as a holiday in parts of the British Commonwealth, when Christmas gifts are traditionally given to service workers.
go further back, o-o. you will find what i have said is the basis for boxing day.
The exact etymology of the term "boxing day" is unclear. There are several competing theories, none of which is definitive.[3] The European tradition, which has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions, has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown. It is believed to be in reference to the Alms Box placed in places of worship in order to collect donations to the poor. In ancient, pre-Christian Rome, Saturnalia was a Roman celebration during which slave owners would switch roles with their slaves. Gift giving was a part of Saturnalia and benevolence to slaves was a practice which may have influenced the later December tradition of boxing and presenting of gifts to people of lesser status.[citation needed] Also, it may come from a custom in the late Roman/early Christian era, wherein metal boxes placed outside churches were used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen,[4] which in the Western Church falls on the same day as Boxing Day. In Britain, it was a custom for tradesmen to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year.[5] This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663.[6] This custom is linked to an older English tradition: since they would have to wait on their masters on Christmas Day, the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts and bonuses, and sometimes leftover food.
nobody actually received christmas gifts until the worship of christmas day was over.
dear o-o. use the kiss principle, mate.
at last the DR. let me back on
thanks for the imfo OO
Stupid is my specialty ...
o-o...not stupid, just nerdy...as my DH is....
one of the many reasons i love him so dearly...
lolol...i wish you 2 were flies on the wall watching this. he is so beautifully naive. has no idea how to present gifts, i.e. wrapping etc.
well at least he is trying Rose--got to hand him that-lol
yes, dear...and i so love him for it.
how many does the poor man have to wrap
he's done 2, working on the 3rd. only 8 to go!!!
lolol. he's stripped to his jocks now. told him, okay, leave it...
I need to go for now---wishing you all a safe and joyfull holiday---hugs
you too, pugs. see you at the flip. xoxox and you too o-o.
and i am outta here. xoxox

hi rollin
hi lb
and now it is time for crossy's quote of the day!!
The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand? - Captain Jack Sparrow
ty for hairy nosed dolphin
((ruby)) it has been years and years since I have used (or even seen) Yahoo. I am afraid I am not much help in this but I do not you will have to work with them to regain access
cheerios and banana, haven't had them in a while, takes great
tastes, i.e.
alloy... do you peel the banana.. stick the cheerios on to it then eat?
morning all. sadly, my last and completely elusive word is a stupid an4 coming off the right-column A. Help?
an + Georgia?
got the georgia. it's just after that
an+verb to be?
ruby, i am having issues with yahoo mail as well. i am just going to let it be.
lol rolin.. peel, slice, on top of cheerios, milk over all
here, for the most part, yahoo died with America online:((
I still use AOL
I am sorry you wre hacked ((ruby))
lol,annie
aloy - i am alsao eating cheerios and bananas for my breakfast
last I saw of AOL(8 years ago?) they were giving it away at one of our hardware store chains
i do not think we were hackedm unless all yahoo was. i think it's yahoo's issue
alloy..just for fun try my way some time...lol
(-: wvt
dear lord, now i can't get the verb to be
I am..he **...
maybe with peanut butter smeared on the banana first so the cheerios will adhere
** you ** or ** you aint my baby???
maybe TO can assist you more in this ruby. it has been too long since I last saw it for me to be able to help you properly
peanut butter.... blech...
oh right. but sadly i have that too
hmm in that case I need an an4 too...lol
a + not outs?

Dear Abby ....
hi o-o
Good day to all.
hello scrabs
hi Scrabbs
It's been snowing again, after having rain Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's beautiful out there.
a fluffy or a wet snow?
Fluffy.
great !
do you have an outdoor pen for your rabbits?
No, they are indoors only. One has the entire downstairs and the 3 boys upstairs each have their own bedroom. I have gates at doorways and at bottom of stairs.
a hopping household!
It's the downstairs bunny I have to look out for the most. She has her hiding places but spend most of the day sleeping under the couch.
is the downstairs one a different gender?
And everything here must be bunnyproofed. I have cable covers on cords or hide cords. Bottom shelves of bookcases are empty, etc.
Miss Beatrix Potter is down here. Miss Bea, Bea, BB,...many names. She is a Holland Lop.
scrabby!!
minus 16c and all the trails are open:))
last word, wr5.22, sounds like we **** the bell at Christmas time
Crossy, how is your weather? Are you still rescuing people up there?
got the mini reindeer antlers for the bunnies?
Congrats, Aloy.
nope all is fine now
22F here are a few inches of new snow.
I should do that, Crossy.
ty .. if no clues are needed, I'll get on with my day - glad things are better weatherwise, crossy
Enjoy your day, Aloy!
perfect winter day, the citiots are up on the hill destroying themselves and filling up our emerg as wel speak with busted legs and broken wrists
will do - you too! poofing..
And our ski resort is recovering from 3 days of rain and warm temps. They were able to start making new snow yesterday and more is falling.
lol,mrs and I love it in the grocery stores this time of year.for some perverse reason,they love to wear their goggles and ski boots in the store. you will see many of them falling down in the asiles. believe me,we know you are a skier from the city. you can take the boots off for driving and walking..
Haha. Wearing ski boots when you're not at the slopes is ridiculous!
it is sooo funny to watch
but they are a menace on the roads
those boots end up hitting the gas and the brake at the same time and chos ensues
chaos
Oh, no.
Getting halfway is difficult today.

Tr**** van....or from one place to another.

ty firework for me too.
Yay..Congrats, Mixi!
I kept on trying to make it 8 letters, maybe that's why it wouldn't fit.
Teehee :-)
Ok i am out of here....*poof*
I finally batted the B's out of here
B's and P's are my favorite letters. Don't know why...
Sorry, Mixi. I missed your question. He's not great, but he's this side of the ground. Thanks for asking. 😀
ag's?
No, ag's.
okay, will keep monkeying
How many A's are you missing?
Could I have clue for the first bi7/36, please?
I'm sorry. There are two ag's
ag6/24 and ag7/36.
That is an extra word in lickety, Marc.
I need a clue for bi7/36, please? I have the bi5 in front of it and the bi6 in back of it but cannot figure out the bi7 in between?
Add a vowel to make it a different plural
now it is time for crossy's logic problem of the day!!! for those who like brain teasers, this one is right up there with the best.it was penned in 1735......
“‘Tis certainly Matter of Fact, that three certain Travellers went on a Journey, in which, tho’ their Heads travelled full twelve Yards more than their Feet, yet they all return’d alive, with their Heads on.†How is this possible?
I will give the answer tomorrow morning round 9 am EST give or take
hmmm.....
i wonder if this has to do with wise men or something....
Good evening
only clue i can give is that it is as true today as it was in 1735
howdy,bichon
Happy Christmas to everyone who is already celebrating. May people of all faiths or no faith at all experience peace in their hearts.
I have finished frosting my chocolate cake and looking forward to a slice for dessert
mmm..cake
That's swwet Bugs and to you too.
merry Christmas bugsaw
and well said
Hope you are warm crossy. The news is grim for Ontario
Let's celebrate the peace between North Americans
uh oh,what have i missed? i have not had the news on today...
There's anguish in Africa

Freezing people in the ice storm

You live in an apartment building crossy?
Exactly bichon. There is too much saddness and I hope people can experience peacefulness somehow
i do ,bichon
small 4 story biliding
somehow I imagine you in a house out in the boonies
I am happy to report that my daughter and her husband had no problems traveling to the east coast from the west coast. In fact their flight landed about 15 mins early!
the boonies are at my fingertips,bichon,but i am on the edge of a town of 20 thousand at the base of blue mountain
Good news, phand.
that is good,phand
Yes, I was worried as they had a stop over in Denver.
but everything went smoothly. Waiting for them to arrive at the house, that could be the most difficult part of the trip!
ba 6/30, last one, pls
i am glad they are safe and sound,phand:))
Always dangerous to travel in the winter because stop overs can be tricky
ba + **** a joyous song
yes they can!
LBD, did you get tha ag's?
ty
were they walking with the sun at their backs?
Good thought, sammysmom.
yes, good one, sammys
good evening all
maybe because as they moved forward, their heads rocked back and forth.
hi sprite!
hiya mab :)
how are you?
am good! And you?
i am quite well, cosily ensconced in a warm bed with my computer and cats. thrilling life i lead.
may I please have a clue for either of the ab 6's?
sounds very very cosy
mine isn't any more exciting, lol
tadone!! finito! tough grid for me today
I have ar8, ba8, br8 x 2, which one am I missing?
wtg dawg!
well done LBD
Woohoo, Dawg!
yay ibd.
ab + japan, china, india, et.al are countries in ****
nice to see you bugs, hope you are healing apace.
thanks, lbd.
so, the 7 doesn't build off of that then?
li8, Marc
thanks mab. I am getting so tired of being housebound but my leg is definately healing, albeit slowly
Did anyone answer which 8 I am missing?
drop the last letter and add gerund, Phan
li8, Marc
cool! Thanks again.
clue for the 2nd ab 7 pretty please
oh dear. it must be hard, but so glad the healing is going as it should.
thanks ibdawger
ab + clem**** is a lovely flower
Nancy, girls name
thanks for all these clues lbd!
yw. any others needed?
I have 151 left so thanks for the offer but not yet. Wishing you and those you love peace and contentment.
ty, Bugs. same for you and yours
not getting the girls name, is it a weird spelling?
John Adams wife ab*****
If you watch NCIS, think of the girl in the basement
just got it. thanks a bunch
that's a good clue, Bugs. couldn't think of anyone by that name! lol
and I wudn't think of US president's wives haha
up in Maine they are having storms and lost electricity - worrisome in the bitter cold.
oh dear, hope everyone up there has alternative heat!
heating centers have been opened in the area...
a good thing, but how miserable, esp. for those celebrating christmas.
gives everyone a great story for next year...they survived the winter of 2013.
very much so.
all joking aside, I truly do hope everyone is safe up there.
me too lbd. being cold is the worst
yes.
the 2nd ab7 is a lady's maid. never knew the definition. just thought it was a girl's name.
hmm. good info peri
hi Bugs, I did not know you were recovering. What happened?
hi all
They are here! Over and out!
hi peri
hey spritey, how are you?
am fine! And you?
fine, just a little sore from exercise class this am
as long as it is the right kind of soreness
it is. I used heavier weights. but I will be fine. will take some OTC meds before I go to bed
I broke my ankle and dislocated my foot in the middle of November. It required a hospital stay, surgery, pins and plates etc and now I have to sit with my foot up and not stand for 7 weeks. I only have 2 weeks of this left but I am tired of being a housecat and not being able to reach anything. I am not a good patient.
being a good patient is a helluva job.
Oh, dear, Bugs, I did not know. I hope the last 2 weeks fly by for you.
well put sprite
I hope you will heal up fast and will be mobile very soon, Bug
you weren't dancing on any tables at the time, were you Bugs?
in 2 weeks I will find out how much healing has gone on and when I can begin trying to stand again. It will be a long haul with physio etc.
such a drag, one moment of 'SNAP' and you are battling the effects for months :(
Bugsaw, that's an awful ordeal. Who is taking care of your daily needs?
I wish I could say I did it skiing or dancing or some exciting thing, but no.... it was one of those embarrassing "I've fallen and I can't get up!" old lady scenarios
sending healing vibes your way, Bugs
how old are you, if I may ask?
yes, waves of healing vibes
Mostly me bichon. That is why I am worried it is not healing as fast as it should but there is a Mr. Bugs who feeds me twice a day. I have lost 10 pounds so far which is always good!
I am 62 peri sdo I was not prepared for an old lady accident. As sprite says, things just happen in a flash and your life takes a new turn.
62 is not old
My thoughts go out to you Bugs
NOt as old as 67 <ggg>
feeling those healing waves permeating. Thanks all of you for keeping my spirits up
or 71
you can only do the best you can do, Bugs
peri you are not 71!
my grandma broke her hip when she was 82. Healed up completely and walked the world for another 10 years. So keep faith.
yes, I am. wish I wasn't.
I always think of you as younger than I am
If I can advise anyone of anything I will say carry a cell phone in your pocket. When I went down I was not where anyone could see me and I was not due home until supper time. It happened at 8:30 in the morning so without the cell phone I would have been on the wet ground for a long time
good idea. I do not always bring it when I go for a walk.
yay for cell phones!
my luck, I'd fall on top of the cell phone and break it, though
I give up, help with the first ba4/6 pls
When I go out with the dogs [4 of them now] I usually forget to bring my cell
what you do when you boat is sinking
nm
A criminal can get out on it
ty
<-- always waits a couple of seconds after peri asks a clue, to see if she is pulling a peri on us
well bichon, for me. pop it in your coat pocket when you go out from now on.
:)
good advice sprite. she is much better than she thinks!
I will think of you always Bugs
:D
I am not the most patient person, but that is my only flaw :-)
patience is overrated anyway ;)
hah
haha is what I meant
sprite, are you keeping your feet elevated, speaking of our extremities?
I do it all the time too peri
I feel better now bichon. I would not wish this one anyone. The carpet crunches , the sheets smell and when people come to visit I can't even make them a cup of coffee or tea.
argh... no... can't do that while at the computer.
Merry Christmas everyone. Hope I see you tomorrow, but if not, enjoy the day!
you make sure you do the imperial lady routine, Bug... order them around and have them clean your house and make your tea!
Happy holidays lbd.
peace in your heart, mind and world, dawg
merry xmas, lbd
is there a problem with a b word?
Mr Bugs is deaf and wont wear hearing aids so I have been making requests and giving orders for a long time now. Nothing happens but he is happy out in his shop.
there is an extra b word
in lickety
oh bugs... you are not old, but i wonder if a local senior center can help you?
can't you call him on his cell, Bug? My love is getting deaf too and I usually call him if he doesn't hear me.
did you get any help from the hospital at d/c Bugs?
visiting nurse, aid, etc
he won't turn it on sprite. He likes the world quiet and as long as he is happy, I usually am too. I am just a bad patient and I don't like to invite my friends over to vacuum or clean the kitchen sink for me. I will be so happy and the house will be so clean when I can stand for more than a few minutes at a time
*hugs Bugs* And even then you will have to be careful not to overdo it right away... it is all so very frustrating, isn't it!
I got lots of free equipment from the Red Cross peri. I have a wheelchair with an attachment that holds my leg up when I am at the computer. A walker to lurch around on in the house and crutches to get up and down stairs as well as a shower seat.
If I lived closer I will come over, Bugs. YOur friends probably want to help but do not know what you want done. I am very independent and do not like to ask for help. so I know how you feel. but it would not hurt to ask
could I please have a clue for the ai7?
you are not a bad patient. that is a long time to be non mobile
sprite, what we breathe and a bird's arm
you are an amazingly patient patient, bugs. you will not only heal, you will triumph!
I have a friend who has a broken arm and she has a visiting nurse and an aide to help her bathe. I brought her homemade soup and have taken her to several doctor's appts. I do not mind
ok, have tried that several times already and it refuses to take. This is so odd.
I started off by trying to do way too much not realizing just how bad it was. I am sure someone would come but it is Christmas and all the cleaning people I phoned were taking breaks. I understand that and my friends have not complained about the crunchy carpet yet. They still bring babies who eat anything without worries!
ditto, what mab said
I am sorry, sprite. what we breathe and what an owl is
thanks to all of you. I feel so much better!
no one offered to vacuum?
I will stop now.
((((Bugs))))
an owl... is a bird... a raptor... a nightflying bird... beautiful... silent....
can someone clue the se 6 plz
my sister did but she doesn't live here and that was 4 weeks ago. hugs to peri and all you love too!
an owl is very smart too
you're a hero, Bug
of course! Thanks peri :)
yvw sprite
NM got it
got it now!!
ahhh. thanks peri.
so close to sangria *pours all babblers a summery glass*
ga6 pls
I need poof for a while. Thanks for all the help with lifting my spirits and finding words. Blessing to all
all the best to you, Bugs. Will keep you in my heart and prayers
take best of care, bugs
hang in there Bugs
for free, peri

Hi again
me too, back in a few
If Bugs is still here, sending good vibes>>>>>>>>>
back!
wb Annie, and hi :)
Hi all, good morning :)
hiya Liz :)
Hi sprite and Merry Christmas to you and your family
Hi Liz
thank you Annie! To you and yours too.
and to Liz and hers. Peace to you all.
Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate :)
Hello all. Merry Christmas Eve! We had a family gathering which was most pleasant. Now we have leftovers for mincing on.
hi stidgmere, sounds good. How's stidmama?
Sounds lovely stidg
Stidmama enjoyed the day including our dinner. I fixed a coffee cake which uses ingredients that suit her and froze pieces for treats later in the week.
hi gmere, merry christmas to you and family
awesome, stidgmere. Please tell her I said hi and *hugs*
Yes, sprite, I will send your greetings!
thank you :)
((sprite))
crossy! *hugs* A merry and peaceful Xmas to you and Elegant.
crossy, I haven't seen Joso for ages... would you happen to know if he is ok?
Merry Christmas to all my babble friends who celebrate and a wish for happiness, joy and love to those who do not.
I have not seen joso since just after he finished his move
Hi Crossy - hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas.
darn it. Ok, am a little worried.
best wishes and a joyeux noel to you and yours as well liz
:)
I'm sure he's OK - guess he's got a lot of sorting to do. Perhaps his brother's not too good - he said he wasn't well.
I know puglet emailed him and so did I, and rose too. Just hope all is well. If he is busy and happy, all good :)
At least I think he did!
mmm,i have come to the conclusion that I may have gone over the edge. I have a 24 inch wide lcd monitor and as such, it is very easy for me to have two windows open at once, so as we speak I have babble and bookworm going at the same time;))
Well, I hope he's OK!
i am sure he is fine
lol crossy... you word geek!
Funny, Crossy.
Loved the owl jigsaw, sprite!
for those who have not played bookworm deluxe,i highy recommend it. it is at popcap games and well worth the price of the direct download
oh am glad, Liz! I so enjoy creating them!
be careful not to load bookworm adventures by mistage. while it is also a good game, it is vastly different
mistake
jigidi (sp) is my fav jigsaw site
I think you're right, Sprite. Our taste in jigsaws is very similar.
crossy, look for spritelet on jigidi... that is me and I have made several contributions.
i will look.site is new to me and i am just figuring it all out
I love it, Liz :) Nice to share the fun.
i like playing with the 250-300 size.good for 30 min or so
I think I know the bookworm game. With the actual bookworm, right? I usually get killed by the burning tiles.
yup.that is the one
I prefer the huge ones. And if I can't finish it, it will wait for me when I come back. Love that continue options.
Sounds like fun but I really don't want more games!!! Between babble and jigidi, I reckon I spend enough time on the computer!
I hear you, Liz, lolol
you can learn a language for free at duolingo.com. pretty fun.
crossy, if you would like me to make a 250+ size puzzle from one of mine, just let me know
sounds like fun, mab, will check it out
french, spanish, portuguese, german or italian
Do you speak many languages, mab?
bookmarked
when one gains proficiency, one can translate and duolingo gets paid for the translations. this is why the learning is free.
no, just a bit of french, which i am brushing up.
could be fun. Will check it out soon, thanks for the hint. Fireflies! Bye all, have a peaceful evening and a blessed day, whether you celebrate Xmas or not.
Sleep well sprite and have a lovely day tomorrow :)
hurray sprite!
how do i find a specific name in jigidi, sprite?
oops,might have missed her
crossy, click on Puzzles and then By User, then enter the name
trying to find one of sprites puzzles
there she is
*hugs* and *poof* :)
beat me to it, sprite! lol!
i do not see "by user"
ok,found it
Let me check for you!
wow! sprite! you average 2.4 puzzles per day
Home page; click puzzles, then you should see option by user.
i found it,liz
OK you got there first!
Sprite's puzzles are really good fun and pretty challenging, especially the ones with lots of black!
i am all registered now with the name crosshair of course.will have to add a picture later
the owls one looks interesting
Look forward to it. Haven't added any of my own!
I just finished that one. It was fun.
lets see how fast i can get its number
Would've been easier if I'd been able to see the picture but I didn't have a 2nd screen!
Don't know if you'll see this, crossy, but jillibus also has puzzles on jigidi. Have a good evening and a lovely day tomorrow.
whew! have all the straight edges pulled out now
just reading the chat.... I am a member of jigidi, thanks to Jillibus ! ..... and I have created some puzzles as well. I find them relaxing, however, have not played for some time now.
me too!
it seems like a bit of fun. i will add a few of my own soon
(that is, exactly what diane said :-)
suze!
I like the feature that enables you to browse and bookmark puzzles for later solving !! Cosdem had some puzzles on there too.
but back to sprites owls!
hi crossy and diane and liz!
Hi everyone,.... just here for a minute and then over to one of our daughter's homes for a "sort of " pig-out on Chinese food. I cook tomorrow for 16 !
wow, diane, good luck!
and we are missing some... could be 26 !!
16!! wow!
That's what happens crossy , when you have four kids and spouses.... they have 10 kids etc. etc. and then there are boyfriends :-) ( 9 granddaughters, you know ;-) )
good lord.how big is the bird you are cooking?
Just started on sprite's windmills! Are your jigsaws under your name dianedecoder?
I think it's 22 pounds, but we have cabbage rolls and other things as well ! And I have to go.... hope to be back later to MAYBE finish the grid.... MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone !!!!!!!!
Have a lovely day tomorrow, Diane.
bye, diane, and merry christmas to you too!
and to everyone else as well, of course!!
Hi Sue - also hope you and Frank have a lovely day too :)
To all those who celebrate chritmas have a merry christmas

Is there an extra bi7/36 in lickety's list? Does it exist on the grid?
it could also be a pockerdoodle too right? :D
Yes, Marc, it is bi7-36.
did you mean cockerdoodle? I've heard them called spoodles but that is usually a spaniel/poodle cross
Marc, there is a bi7-36 but I don't know.....someone please tell us. Thanks
yes. cockerdoodle
I have a dachshund/poodle cross, don't know if there's a formal name for him
weinerdoodle ?

Never heard of that before would love to see a picture

*Pours a glass of Christmas cheer for Lil and Ru*
ruru - how many ba, bi & br words? Missing 1 and can't tell which.
thanks Ms L
I am already full of Chiani
ooh.. I love Chianti
I had Syrah with dinner last night watching the football game
we had spaghetti for dinner and my bro & I killed a bottle of Chianti
tonight is ice tea :D
who is the producer lil?
I think it is Gabbiani ??? or something like that
Gabbiano
Castello di Gabbiano
My mother is so paranoid about bugs ... the minute you finish a bottle of anything she grabs the bottle out of your hands, rinses it and takes it outside to the recycle bin.
good solid producer.. nice wines
Well it was delish, I prefer this one to Ruffino.
she should live with my wife .. they'd be happy together
I like the Ruffino Riserva Ducale when I have that. IT's always pretty good
I have fond memories of a nice bottle of that wine
had to do with the back seat of a rambler.. but that's another story :D
<---did not intend to kill the chat
*Gives chat CPR*
it's Christmas eve I guess and not a creature was stirring not even a ...
<---Old enough to remember Ramblers
<---old enough to remember ramblers well
how many AB words?
especially the cieling
I still have cinnamon roll dough to finish and stocking stuffers to wrap.
:D
8 AB's lil
oh cr*p!
LOL
cinnamon rolls sounds great
*will you adopt me Molly* (just for the rolls)
Thanks, l'monkey
Good deal. I'll make you cinnamon rolls and you can educate me about wine. : D
uuummmmmmmmmmmmm yw
anytime. I'm an open book when it comes to wine
Looking forward to beef tenderloin tomorrow. It's my favorite meal of the year.
ooooh. Love beef tenderloin
I don't feel like fighting at the grocery store today.. so I'm going to make do with what I have in the house
but there is one thing I DON"T have
.....cinnamon rolls....
crossy is still stirringbut no mice because of the cats
man.. now I'll be dreaming of cinnamon rolls tomorrow morning
cinnamon rolls are perhaps my favorite food
I can never pass on them in the bakeries either
I do a ginourmous crossy breffast before ANYONE so much as even looks at a present or a stocking
can't believe the se 6 caused me so much trouble. A clear case of looking but not se****
lol,cannot find the stocking from last year but found no less than three cat stocking with cute sayings on them,so my son gets a cat stocking lol
none so blind....
anyone should be honored, honored i tell you, to have a cat stocking
i used to get a stocking at my in law's even though i was jewish
mother in law could not grasp jewishness
but it was fun
love the cracker things with the hats and prize inside.
cracker things?
Cracker jacks
May I please have a clue for ta7-44? Thanks
oh.. thought it was a bunch of black people talking about southern white people :D
I can grap Jewishness ,but neverless, the son still gets to grasp a kitty cat stocking tomorrow
grasp
the term "cracker" is basically unknown here
ta 7 is like the color orangey + the end of a chocolate square
then again we are not so ..racially aware..i cannot put it any better. here people are people. we all bleed the same colour
ty ruru
someday crossy.. it's a lot better than it used to be
there is always hope
recent (since the US Supreme Court gutted the voting rights act) voting rights legislation in many states are reminiscent of the Jim Crow era
what does that mean o-o?
that's true BR.. but it is still better for minorities than it used to be.. we still have a long, long way to go. I am sure I won't be around to see it though
not to toot our own horn,but we ,up here are mystified when everyone play the race card on Obama.we think of him as a president first,race,creed or colour has no bearing in our minds
Thanks for the ta7, ruru
that's not the way it is here crossy.. he was a ground-breaker here. Hopefully a woman will get a shot at the presidency in the near future too.. it's more than time for that too.
it is indeed,ruru
yw peach
time to cook some dinner for RU
we are just having a cold plate tonight,fruits,veggies,crackers,sliced meats,deviled eggs.getting ready for tomorrows massive cokking
cooking
clue for bi7/36
leaning to one belief over another
tis a total mystery
I think you clued the 7/44? I need 7/36
got it ty.the religion slant threw me
ahh,a 7/36, now the plot thickens
there is no bi 7/36 .... lickety has an extra again
then that is well
Well @$*@$(*$(@$()
I have just spent a half hour on it.
lol
I have not listed yet,so it was not an issue
OK! moving on
e in the 5th column please
e in 5th column - ee 4 - sea snake sort of!
ty,liz and fish me
np!
that is NBT and NBS for crosy
Beautiful day here - just back from walking on the beach :)
minus 14c and a frozen wasteland here
WTG crossy! How did the tooth appt go on Monday?
went well liz
next apt in 3 months
So is the tooth sorted now?
seems all is ok for now,liz
A pain free existence??? Hoping! btw we bought a water pik - they're soooo good!
I am getting a water pik next week
So worth it!
Teeth feel wonderful after using it.
Any other clues or I'll go back to the windmill jigsaw!
not that after my cleaning,i have actual spaces tween my teeth, a water pik will actually do some good
I am still doing sprites owls
I'm sure you'll love it like we love ours!
The owls were fun - still sorting the windmills - that's almost as time consuming as doing the jigsaw.

hi dc, what happened to stidmama
she comes and goes -- having a family does that :)
*wonders what angeled eggs would look like*
or jesused eggs for that matter
jesus eggs on hot crossed buns?
what are you talking about ruru?
DC'S DEVILED EGGS
just a play on words jen.. just a joke
ok
wonders where "deviled" eggs originated from
little eggs with "A" 's on them :D
fried at the stake
as the townspeople scrambled to get more kindling :D
hi all, wikipedia says, devilied means spice added
is that all?
mustard, pepper, and so on, yep, that's all
paparika isn't really a spice
i love the interwebs
paprika is pepper, dude 8 - )
damn .. I thought there was some kind of satanic ritual with eggs and then...
i figured they were laid by the angelfood cake
laid or waylaid :D
like, at easter, the symbols are eggs and rabbits, so i figured, the rabbits must be laying all the eggs
hare-dly
eeek, you're burning my ears! LOL
