babbly's down i think.
back? Back. Phew.
looks like its ok now.
My morning routine nearly went up in smoke.
lol i need this before bed. or ill have to settle for jumble
this is the only way I can ever get my excuse for a brain into gear in the morning.
ol
check check
what are you checking?
Hello everyone :-)
Hi again friends
Hello, Puglet :-)
Hi zoom
By the look of the chat below...it looks like babble went off line for a while.
I didnt notice but it is quiet in here
I was on earlier and got off for a while, are you just now getting started
Yes i have just started and only have 35 words :-(
well thats fast in just 2 secs
Hi pug and zooz
Hi Dianne
Hello, Dianne :-)
am not finding this one easy
me either--struggliing to get half way
So it gets tricky later i take it..only have 62 words now :-(
I need 12 more R words -ugh
and that will give you fireworkds Dianne
Not seen, Sprite here for a couople of days...has she gone on holiday?
no pug - I need 29 more to get my sparkles.
Good going getting that far, Dianne!
she was on yesterday but I havent seen her nor Rose today
thats great Dianne
Ahh i must of missed her betwen my babb.e times.
Gosh my typing is terrible at the moment..lol
lol--so is mine--my eyes are blurred
Yes mine is too..i need to get my eyes checked i think.
rationer
phew was not a word..lol
I know I do, just keep putting it off---I got department store reading glasses right now--lol
It is amazing how your vision get worse over a period of time...yet you do not notice it at first.I only noticed it playing babble..when people are chatting i have been finding it more difficult to see the chat clearly.
good morning, dear friends :)
I notice it on myself when my arm was no longer long enough--lol
Hello, Sprite..i was just asking where you were..lol
lol
I was being a lazy so-and-so and sleeping in.
SPRITE! good morning! we were just talking about you
Teehee, Puglet, you are funny :-)
feeling better friend
Having a lye-in is good for you now and again...And i am sure you deserved it :-)
yeah a little. And you, pug? And how are you, zooz?
my chat is slow and sluggish
I am very well thanks for asking :-)
I was on at flip but once again had to go back to bed :(===did get OO daily quote though)
Am glad, zooz :) *hugs*
zoom and I are have sight problems
I think I need a ing on have--lol
I do like o-o's qoutes and profile messages..i always seem to learn from them.
pug, hun, give in to it. You have a whole lot of catching up to do. Now that you have made some decisions and the evil drinker isn't home, you are finally in the position to let go a bit of all that tension and so... you need sleep.
me too Zoom
Hi all - back for a few minutes.
lol I thought you were having short-arm-problems
same for me, zooz. O-o is a good 'un.
Hello, Liz :-)
Hey Liz :)
hiya Liz *hugs* How is your day? I LOVED your puzzle!
Really glad you loved it! I've put another puzzle up today.
Sprite, he slithered in yesterday evening
ah, will check it out straight away
Well perhaps he can slither out again!
oh dear :( So sorry to hear it. How did it go?
He went to the spare bedroom--He does this after a episode----It will take him a few days to face me but Iam ready
Perhaps you could lock him in there - only joking, pugs but it would make your life calmer!
oh beautiful puzzle, Liz! Bookmarked it. Looks like a tough one.
I think I may be able to get some help(money wise) for caring for my sister. I will know more today I hope
wow that would be so awesome, pug! Will keep my fingers crossed for you (forgive any future typos pls)
I have no idea. The sights we saw in Alaska were just breath-taking. The photos are from the iPhoto book we made.
I hope you do so, pugs.
Th4 will be good, Puglet, I hope it works out for you.
BTW, sprite. Spot the dolphin iceberg!
sure did :)
:)
yeah me too--I will give him til spring to find him a new home and do whatever with his animal outdoors if it goes through
The colours are as they were too - not enhanced.
wow pug, that is so strong and sensible of you. You rock, hun.
I think giving him til spring is really good of you.
they are amazing, Liz. Breathtaking.
I like the puzzle Liz---I done the smaller one
Icebergs or whales?
Glad you liked it pugs.
pug... will you add a condition? Until Spring on the condition he behaves? Otherwise, right away?
Iam not mean enough to send him out in the cold but its temping
Excellent now you have made your mind up..keep strong and always remember you did not deserve to be treated the way you have ben for so long.
both, actually, Liz. But was talking about the ice.
I sure will Sprite
Sensible condition. Even tho it's cold, your safety must come first.
It was the holiday of a lifetime, Sprite.
you are radiating power, pug. I can feel it from here. So clear, so strong. Am so happy.
I can imagine, Liz! Such beauty.
I think Alaska would be just beautiful! I would love taking the train they have through it
We didn't go on the train even tho' a friend recommended it. We did shore excursions from the ship but they were all wildlife based.

Sorry - was trying to paragraph!
he cant drive a auto and havent been able to for years due to dwi's
Hic-cups..tehee.
*giggles*
lol--got it Liz
well you can, pug :) And you are.
I can and its a big plus
Very necessary for you , I'dve thought.
they all depend on me for everything outside of here
I have no ideal what they would do if I got down
well he will have to find a way to be self-reliant or find someone else to do for him, pug. And you and your sister will go on as now in a much more relaxed way.
105 left - I'll be back in about 90 minutes, maybe less. If I don't see you, enjoy your days. Hugs :)
enjoy dinner, Liz :)
see you later then Liz
yes we will Sprite---Iam pass worrying about him on that account
very good, pug. And rightly so. He lost the right on your worries a long time ago.
Iam even thinking of selling and moving into town but thats along way down the road---first things first
are you feeling rested today Sprite and REALLY feeling better
I think it is wise to take things one step at a time, indeed, pug. You are making such huge steps already, things are bound to look and feel different soon.
a bit more rested and a bit better. Still a lot of pain and nightmares. Taking it slow here though, so it's ok.
it is just so hard here in the winters. I would hate leaving the country but I know Iam getting older too
very true, pug. Maybe you can find something still rural but closer to town, in time.
I hope you do Sprite----do you guys still have family meetings friday
no, not at the moment. There will be one in a couple of weeks, I expect. We are getting near the end of the counselling.
did your hubby have a better day at work
brb coffee
don't know yet. He stayed home yesterday and now is at work.
what kind of work does he do
he works with people who get an unemployment benefit and tries to help them towards a job again. Using everything from education to learning how to behave in a normal way.
I bet that is stressfull--people that are down and out so to speak are desperate and down and take it out on people in jobs like you hubby's
I have not seen our Rose today :(
well most are just too lazy, pug, to be honest. It is hard to get them motivated to do something. But it is not the clients that bring him down. It is his colleagues. Some of them are worse than the clients.
she is probably just fine, pug. Busy with other stuff, maybe not in a talkative mood, but she is really on her way up again.
that makes it bad for him at work Iam sure ---I feel sorry for him. How long has he worked there
about 12 years now
maybe Fang is there getting all that stuff :)
lol wouldn't that be great! Little does she know it is the very last time she will have any say in anything there.
are jobs hard to get there? They are here right now and have been for a few years
yes, they are. Not easy to get another job.
I miss working sometimes---not to brag, but I wasent one to miss unless I just had too and most of the time I gave it my all(but I did have a few days I didnt)
sounds like you were a wonderful employee, pug.
we learned to work at home and I think that help alot.
yes it does. So did we. A lot of Rob's clients have parents who are getting a benefit and all they know is the unemployed way of living. And the mentality of why work when you can get money for nothing.
reset
did I ever tell you that sometimes he has to take such a boy to the shops and buy an alarm clock for him and explain to him how they work??
thats awful!
yes. Quite a lack of parenting. Or at least that is how I think about it. Basic skills each person should be taught.
its about the same here too Sprite--most of the youth knows little about labor and I bet most have never had a blister on their hands either
we tried to raise our children differently. And we still do. At least they both have a little job now outside school hours, and they work it diligently.
I think its the time of the electronic world
thats very good Sprite
partly. And most of these recent generations never knew real hardship or problems in staying alive. Plus the outlook on the world is not a positive one. Hard to stay motivated, maybe.
did you have to work while at home with your parents
that maybe very true Sprite
my parents divorced when I was 6 or 7. From then on I had to take over a lot of household task, because my mother couldn't cope. And when I reached the age I was allowed to work, I started working outdoors too, outside school hours.
My sister(the one who has not spoken to me since the deal with Gradyn) sent me a letter and a return letter wanting me to fill in what I know of my family.Shes wanting to put together a family tree.
and when I was studying, I cleaned houses to pay for my study.
lol, she is nuts. If she is not speaking to you, there is no reason to be writing you a 'letter' about something she wants you to do for her.
My dad was disabled most of my youth and if we wanted anything we worked.
same with our children. I am on a tiny benefit and Rob's salary just covers the basics and for things like the children's sports and hobbies. Everything extra needs to be earned.
now since that deal with the boy she has not only not spoken to me but the other sisters and she has sent us all one of these
what are you going to do with it, pug?
right now its in my desk drawer and I dont know
family issues are always hard to decide upon. We care too much, maybe.
I kind of feel like doing it and going in person to hand it to her instead of hiding behind the postal service
wow! Sounds like a plan. Though she may hurt you a lot by rejecting your peace offer. Can you handle that, should it happen?
of course! Its not the first time us girls have had spats---they know me--Iam bold and honest to a fault--lol
awesome, pug! You 'feel' so strong and clear to me. I really feel like something has changed in you. As if your power is flowing back into you after a long time where you couldn't really access it.
Sprite--I hate how I have let Walker make me feel about myself! How I ever let this happen I dont know
awww my dog is in the grid today
right now as we speak He is cleaning up in the house to advoid me--lol---
oh dear. Is that a male thing, I wonder? My husband, on the rare occasion when we are having a fight and he knows he is in the wrong, always starts cleaning the house.
so are you, but you are scrambled about in it
lol indeed, how apt. Scrambled me.
lol---must be
Ive got a station on that is playing old rock and roll from the 50's---I just love that music
cooee, late flip for me. have been out for dinner at an absolutely yummy italian bar and grill.how are my darlings tonight?
(((ROSE))) I missed you
oh me too! My whole late teens and all twenties I went out with my group of friends, and they were all into rock 'n' roll. We did a lot of 50s style things... like dancing and dressing and checking out oldtimer cars etc.
so happy you got out and got to paint the town red--lol
pugs, all i can say is th4 you must have lousy throwing arm th4..lol
hiya rose, I already told pug you were ok, even if you weren't online :) How lovely that you had an awesome dinner. Glad to see you. And I am fine.
there's a lot of me to miss...
the defect it not in her throwing arm, rose. She just has a too kind he5 :)
so what have i missed? tell granny all.
maybe so but I bet you give great hugs
hmmm, shall i ask don?
yep. He is the best judge of that.
well my snake has slithered home and is now housecleaning to advoid me
oh and tell rose about your decisions and the possibility for getting financial support too!
lolol...all i got back from him was a laconic ' yup '.
what?? pugs?? you are going to stand firm...i am so proud of you, hun
I think I may get paid for caring for my sister and when he can face me Iam giving him until spring to find him a new home
hehehe that says enough, rose
isn't she amazing, rose? So strong and clear?
oh, pugs, that's amazing news...and sprite and i are going to hold you firm to th4.
right now I cant do much until I find extra help--but I got the wheels in motion
* thrusts already ample chest out even further* that's my friend puglet. he4 her roar!!!
and don't fall for the pity parties he may throw, pug?
or the wounded male ego...watch out for th4 one...
oh believe me I wont---have heard all the promises written in that book
yay! You'll keep firm then. It is not as if you didn't give him a chance (or a 1000) or didn't try. You did more than your part.
yay for pugs, she desrves the hugs...{{{H U G S }}}}
and Rose my sister that stopped speaking to me over the deal with Gradyn sent me and all my other sisters a letter and a return envelope wanting me to fill in what I know of the family for shes wanting to put together a family tree
and thanks Rose and Sprite
oh, and i wish you two had been there at my doctor's appointment today. ( GP, not surgeon) she nearly fell off her chair, laughing at the idea of my returning to work on the 20th this month, doing 5 x 4 hour shifts.
and how are you doing and what about the swelling
oh, pugs, th4 is wonderful. the door has opened a crack, praise God.
yayyyy for your GP. Right she is. No chance in hell you are going to ruin the effects of the operation that way. Health and safety first now!
swelling under control, stockings are doing the trick.
ah wonderful, rose. You sure 'sound' a little better too.
I was telling Sprite, I feel like taking it to her in person and not hide behind the postal service
and what about the blues and the knee
our pug prefers her sister going postal over the postal service
pugs, whatever God plants in your he5 to do, hun.
she and her hubby both work for the postal servie, dont know if I told you guys that
no, didn't know that. Interesting.
blues seem to be abating. a little teary now and again. the knee?? doc and i had a good discussion about pain. she has upped the ante with the slow-release tabs, hoping to bring me down off the quick-release tabs. and th4's okay by me.
sometimes Rose Iam confuse if Iam heeding Gods advice or what Iam wanting---I try being careful on that
is that med whats causing the blues
pugs, whenever you ask, ask in His name. the response which comes, is from Him.
oh very good, rose. Progress there too. And being teary is normal in your situation. Just cry all the tears that need to be cried now. Saves you a lot of trouble later on :)
crying is a way to get rid of excess water--lol--isnt it?
Hi again :)
hun, i think the blues are mostly unrelieved grief. yes, the meds can make you teary, but so does the pain. it's a very fine li4.
or check where you feel it in your body, pug. If it is in the belly or the head, it is ego speaking. Not necessarily wrong either, btw. If you feel it in your heart, it is God.
lol pug!
g'day liz
rehi Liz
an ocean of unshed tears, rose. Cry, baby. *hugs*
hiya Liz :)
you calling Rose a cry baby? LOL
lol Pugs - I almost said that!
hehehe I wouldn't dare
me three!!
by the way Sprite, hows your swelling
:)
Cry, baby, cry!
but i know what sprite meant, and didn't take offence.
I almost said (sang) that!
goes on and off, pug. Bloodtests were ok, nothing there to explain it. Have to make an appt with the dermatologist next. Not sure why my doc thinks that is the way to go about this. But trusting her judgment.
I know too. Sprite is to kind for words like that towards friends
*speaking very primly* Would you guys please note the comma?? Remember the panda bear who eats, shoots and leaves!
brb, meds need to be got ready...
that is an odd doc to go to for that
Love it!
Liz got a full tummy now and will have to retire soon--lol
how was dinner, Liz?
I thought of your dog today in the grid!
me too :) Always makes me smile to see his name pop up
Yummy - salmon cooked in soy, honey and 5 spice. With crispy skin!
yummy! Oh that sounds delicious.
It is and it's so easy to make!
dont it! my tummy is rumbling
good morning all
Must be almost breakfast time for you, pugs.
morning teach
Hi Teach
hiya teach!
it is
brb--need to check sister's sugar
Down to 100 - phew!
ooh, liz th4's what i had at the restaurant tonight. so yummy! and g'day teach
g
Weird, Rose! Or just extremely good taste!
one left here. An M7. I feel like I have tried everything. Does anyone have a clue for me? I have one that goes with an 8, one that ends in the first 2 letters of Rose's name, someone who climbs a horse and one who grieves.
g'day granny and liz and all
Sounds like you had a good evening out, Rose.
Good day to all.
mo7, mo + New Testament + z***, nil, zilch
good morning scrabs
Thanks, Rose.
Please note correct use of comma - especially for Sprite.
lolol Liz :)
ah, mo7, mo**y, cash + not walk
nope, that is the one that ends in the first two letters of your name, rose. I have that one.
yes!~ That was the one, thanks rose. Weird one. Fireflies.
Thanks again.
WTG SPRITE!!!!
hiya Scrabs!
Congrats, Sprite :)
Hi Scrabs
Sprite, I thought of you yesterday when this happened. I collect "quarters"--25 cent coins (and other coins) in a container, grabbed some, and discovered that one was a Nederland coin!
ooohhh, scrabs, long ti4, no see. how are you, hun?
Doing fine here, enjoying winter--cross-country skiing whenever I can.
oh yes! How lovely, Scrabs. I still miss the old money. It was so nice to measure in quarts. The eu4 has 20 cents pieces, alas.
and the coin you have is called a 'kwartje' which means 'little quarter'.
back and sugars were good-----Hi scrabbler
*sigh* scrabs, one day i will ski...but maybe i shouldn't?
Somehow it was confused with US quarters and I found it. I was so excited.
yeah Rose --sitting on a ski board
Don't recommend it Rose. My friend damaged her knee skiing and you don't need more damage!
lolol, pugs...
It's fun skiing - I've been once but I didn't get the bug!
We get lots of Canadian coins here as we are close to the border, but a Dutch coin!
we used to have a 2.5 gulden coin too, and a paper bill of 25 and 250 gulden.
well thats the safest route to go
Cross-country skiing is not so risky.
but wouldn't it be the ultimate achievement?
it really traveled a ways to find you, Scrabs
It would be awesome - I want to travel on a dog sled.
But not right behind the dogs!!!!
oh me too Liz
i mean...i couldn't ski before the surgery, but i can after..what an amazing surgeon....lolol
lolol rose, silly!
*giggle*
I cant see Don letting you be so reckless at all
Real achievement! lol
oh, I know! I am gonna make a puzzle from the old dutch gulden money. It was so beautiful and colourful.
That will be a lovely puzzle.
Your hands look like fun too.
I looked that up after talked about that money Sprite and it is pretty and so is Rose's money
I just started the hands this morn
good morning everyone:))
I enjoy looking at currencies from other countries.
Hi Crossy.
Hi ya Crossy
Hi Crossy. I have lots of Canadian coins to give to you.
hiya crossy *hugs*
our paper money is now made from polymer, same as our aussie friends
((sprite))
yes I like the hands puzzle too. Came out quite pretty.
oh, dear, liz. looking back at your comment about sprite and punctuation, etc. i think she must cringe every-ti4 she sees me. have no use for capitals, except in reference to God.
you do, scrabbs?? do you have a Canadian 1948 silver dollar in your jar of Canadian loot?
Canadian paper money is so colorful and beautiful!
It's so practical! Especially here, where there's such a beach culture!
well, hellooo crossy. ( take th4 as yodeled)
LOL Rose. The English teacher comes out in me, when I'm not rushing to chat.
*giggles* Oh yes, rose, I cringe and cringe, lol. Good think I love you so much :P
Crossy has some puzzles coming for us that we will have to wear sunglasses
Sounds like fun! I put a new one up today, Crossy.
yup, lots of snowy mountain scenes
I will look, Crossy--I jave a few jars of Canadian coins.
Liz's newest one is of ice. Very very pretty.
if you do find one, let me know
I havent seen that one yet
Thought those cold Canadians and Americans would relate to that!
as it has a bit of numismatic value to it:))
Ssssh! Don't mention Polar Vortex!
indeed, liz, but we would be lost without our winters
Hint for ze 6 pretty please!
I need to come up to visit you, with my kayak and jars of Canadian coins, Crossy!
Rose,look at my writing--you get a A plus next to mine
lol@ polar vortex. to us it is just a real honest old fashioned winter
just found out that a golden ten gulden coin I own is worth about 250 - 300 eu4 now. Not a fortune, but still a lot of money. Think I will hold on to it for now :)
oh, crossy, a bit like our 1930 penny, huh?
ze + we will meet ** my place + not out.
Sure but the weather forecasters love to make everything dramatic!
Yes, Sprite
Thanks, Rose. Was nowhere close to it!
indeed, granny. in any collecting in any country there are always several 'key" dates to watch for
aww, pugs, i love your writing, simply because it comes from you.
Definitely keep it Sprite. Who knows what it might be worth in the future?
ummm, sprite, liz. yes, i know we are interchangeable, but...
TY for the Z clue, Sprite. I wondered why I couldn't find it--new word for me.
indeed. It was a present from my grandparents when they were married for 50 years.
it might make you a millionaire one day
it has been in earlier grids, Scrabs, but not often. It is certainly a weird one.
it is a poison in certain greens, I think
Sorry, Rose. I can tell the difference! You speak with an Aussie accent!
Haha
lol pug! No, it is not that rare a coin. Still, a nice idea to have that kind of money sitting quietly here.
Thanks, Sprite!!! LOL!
it's a plant hormone
lol yvw ;)
hello everybody
Hi Ruby. Hugs.
hi ruby *hugs*
hello ruby and all
HEY Ruby :)
oh, oh, oh...and here's ruby..xoxox for a lovely lady
hiya again, teach :)
rehi Teach
and now where is that Joso
Hi ruby and teach
((ruby))
and OO hasent talked for 2 days now :(-----Hope hes not stuck in the hammock out in the cold
Frozen to it, you mean?
crossy, did you get your new snow
I've collected mint contition staps, both plate blocks and sheets, for many years I always thought they were Worth a lot of money and, one day, my son and I checked on the interenet. They areworth not very much above face value.
no, it gave us a day off after that 3 day blizzard and 3 feet of snow
stamps*
aw what a shame, ruby
thats good you get a break from all that shoveling
today, it feels like spring -- a bad sign for the fruit trees. They will probably bud and then get frozen
*sending a hug and a ray of sunshine to o-o*
But did you enjoy collecting them?
at least thy are beautiful and some belonged to my father who was also a collector.
Rose, are you starting to drift over there
Sentimental value is good.
I must depart now and get ready for work. It is also garbage pick-up day so I have to bring everything to the end of the driveway. Bye, kids. Enjoy the day!
hi and bye, scrabs
ruby!! I have a stamp for you! it is on a post card from the RMS. Segwun, That steamship that the mrs and I had our anniversary dinner on? . As north Americas oldest and last official steam powered may ship, they are eagerly sought after for the very decorative counterstamp that the ships postmaster uses
Sprite is this a day you get to take for yourself
hagd scrabs
Have a good day, Scrabs.
mail*
bye Scrabs, have a good day
bye Scrabs
wow crossy, sounds special
pug: it should be. But it looks like I have to go shopping. My love just emailed me he is gonna be late... talk with his boss about the nastiness earlier this week.
well.we have our two from our special night,but it was so much fun that the mrs and I are going again this summer,so I will grab an extra one for ruby
that sounds a lot like the "first day covers" that my dad used to collect, where the decoration is even better than the stamp!
and are they going to do something for him
it is,ruby
Sigh, Sprite. Did he enjoy his day at home yesterday, though? And you?
my DH used to collect those first day covers also
what happened with your love at work, sprite??
are you up to shopping Sprite--you worry me sometimes
yes, he did, Liz. It was much needed. He didn't relish going back to work today either. He has had it with those lazy and insulting people.
It makes a workplace very unpleasant (or worse).
some stupid colleagues not doing their job, crossy, and when Rob said something about it, they said stuff like he could get cancer etc.
mm, I see;(
It's so childish but very hurtful.
things like that could very well backfire on them
not really up to it, pug, but willing to pretend to be, lol. First, I must think of what to eat tonight.
that is rotten, sprite
yes, very hurtful and so agressive. Not at all called for.
Follow in Rose and my footsteps, Sprite. Salmon!
Salmon! It is certainly an idea. Never cooked salmon myself though.
Are they younger than him - it just sounds like something someone young might say!
It's not difficult - you can fry, grill or microwave it.
no, they are his age, for crying out loud. Should know better.
sorry, people, was checking emails. sprite, mab asked to let you know th4 she is holding you in her prayers and he5, hun.
Idiots!
that would be very good for your sugar too Sprite
aw that is so sweet, rose! Thanks, mab *hugs*
true, pug. Ok... Liz, could I please have the recipe? It sure sounds delicious.
salmon....did someone say salmon?? my favourite fruit.
I just put soy, honey and 5 spice together, mix it and adjust to taste. Microwave 100g piece of salmon for 40 - 50 seconds on high power.
I thought chicken was yours Rose
and since we went to tasmania last year, don has been ordering it from the menu when we go out....and he doesn't like fish..but i'm not going to tell him.
marinade the salmon in it if possible but otherwise just cook it in the marinade.
ok Liz. I need to find a replacement for the 5spice though. That is not for sale here.
That's funny Rose.
marinade is possible... for a couple of hours?
Even 30 minutes.
hmmm, chicken...salmon...chicken...salmon..c\nan't make up my mind...i nearly had chicken risotto tonight...but decided on something i don't get a lot of at home.
awesome. Ok, that is what I am gonna do. And I will toss a wicked green salad to go with it.
Anything vaguely aniseed-ish for flavouring or just use soy and honey or perhaps a very small amount of ginger.
We have salmon once or twice a week. We both love it.
hmmm, wondering if customs will let me send you some, sprite. it is the most amazing flavour.
Let me know how it goes, please. Hope you enjoy it.
ah, found it. I have the separate spices or can get them.
I'm surprised it's not on sale there. I used to buy it in England too.
i use it when i make special fried rice.
would be awesome, rose, but probably would cost a lot more to send than it is worth :)
Or in other stir fries.
what is in the 5 spice
nah...if it makes my sprite happy, it's worth every cent...
could send it in the refill packets rather than in jars.
th4's what i was thinking, liz.
star anise, cloves, cinnamon, sichuan pepper and fennel
aw rose, you are the sweetest. *hugs* Such a sweet thing to say.
how do you know what you can or cant send in the mail
over to sprite to answer teach's question. i just love the flavour.
to aussie it is simple, pug... almost nothing is accepted, lol.
cinnamon 33 %, star anise 20 % cloves 20 % fennel 14 % and 4% pepper
Read off the jar - proportions would be important I guess.
like black pepper Liz or chilli peppers
indeed, thanks Liz, that is good to know.
I think black pepper, pugs. It doesn't specify.
no, it is not a 'real; pepper, pug. It is szechuan pepper
I think black pepper would substitute if you couldn't get Szechuan pepper.
Might change the flavour slightly. I'd've thought you could get it in the city, Sprite - next time you're there.
Sprite, do you street shop there
So many Indonesian restaurants there - the spices would be similar.
will try, Liz. Google isn't giving me any addresses, but who knows. But I can get all the separate spices and you have given me the ratio, so I am all good.
pug, what do you mean street shop?
okay, it's after 11:30pm here. this is the latest i have been up since forever. love you all, hope you all have wonderful days/nights. see you at the flip
Lots of luck. Yeah, the ra 5 - without commas!
Sleep well Rose. Hugs.
having venders set up on the sidewalks
very glad you were with us, rose, and even happier that you are going upwards in how you feel. Love and *hugs* and sleep well.
mai is almost sent, rosie
Night Rose--love and hugs
*poof*
oh yes, pug, we do. I will try and get the 5spice on the Albert Cuyp, our famous street market in Amsterdam. If anywhere, that is where I will find it. But for now, I will mix myself.
so, Liz... as side dishes... rice? And a salad? Would that be ok?
http://tinyurl.com/m6z4o - recipe for 5 spice
that is so cool, Sprite...only seen shopping like that on tv or in the summer with farmers setting up booths in town
That would be yummy - though tonight we had spinach.
we really need to get you over to Holland some day, pug. You will love the market.
and dont forget the train---got to ride it too
I think you're right, Sprite. I think Pugs would love not only the market but the canals, the gabled houses, the windmills etc. etc. It's a great place.
we would take the train and street car to get to the market. No parking there, so the car isn't practical.
by the time that will happen I will have to walk with a walker
I feel this strong urge to become filthy rich, all of a sudden. I'd invite you all over and we'd have a lovely time!
That would be real fun!
Have you been there Liz
One of us will have to win the lottery!
Yes - my hubby and I went there for 4 days back in 2004 - our first holiday together!
did you get to meet Sprite
We lived in England then.
ahh how nice Liz
No, I've only known Sprite since I joined babble in 2012.
It was lovely but we went in February and froze!
or one of my books should become a bestseller.
who knows you guys may have had passed and didnt know--lol
A more likely option!
Perhaps we did!
we might have, pug, lol. Am sorry to have missed the opportunity to meet Liz.
its just a matter of time for that to come true Sprite
I just got a phone call from a telemarketer who couldn't speak either English or French intelligibly
aack
Me too. Perhaps one day ...
wow... my son is home between hours from school, and he just made me a cup of coffee without even asking. Isn't that something?
argh ruby.
Progress, Sprite!
that is really nice, sprite
lol Ruby---did you get what he was selling
I hate that, Ruby.
no idea. Usually, I just say "I'm sorry, I don't speak French" but this guy was trying to speak English
dont fall over Sprite! but that was very nice of him to do for you
My hubby is so funny talking to tele-marketers! He leads them on, especially if it's about the computer having a virus and finally he tells them what he thinks of them!
You are nicer then I Ruby--soon as I know its one of them I hang up
I try not to be rude but hang up as soon as I determine that it's someone I don't know
He tried to sell one a phone - the guy was trying to sell him a phone, he told another that "his wife had swallowed a rat and was vomitting, so he couldn't speak" etc. etc.
I'm off to the lawyer now, kids, hope to see you later
*woof*
they will call here clear up until 8 or 9 pm
Have a good day, Ruby - hugs.
ohhhh Liz! My husband does the same thing. He asks them what brand of toothpaste they use, and if they don't want to answer, he goes "But don't you think your teeth are important?" and if they do answer he goes on asking why that brand, and why not another, until they get fed up and hang up on him.
bye Ruby
bye ruby, best wishes
My hubby likes that idea, Sprite! Me too!
*giggles* It always makes me squirm, it is so bad. But so funny.
Someone tried to sell us a stair-lift, so he told them we lived in a cave.
ok, off with me. Things to do, groceries to buy, spices to mix, dinner to cook. I hope it turns out ok :) Bye all, have a peaceful evening and a blessed day, and thanks for being there *hugs*
good luck Sprite! hugs and love
Have a good day, Sprite. Be well. Hugs.
enjoy your salmon
I too should be off---its almost 8 am and I need to move these stiff bones--lol good day Liz and all---and you too OO---hugs
OK time for me to think about bed - almost 11.00 pm here. have a good day, pugs and wvt. Hugs.
hagd night/day all
Good morning!

Hello WV!
and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
William Faulkner once refused a dinner invitation from President Kennedy's White House. "Why that’s a hundred miles away," Faulkner explained. "That’s a long way to go just to eat."
LOL! Morning Crossy!
accck!! kitties have no food in the cupboard!! emergency store run so they do not attack! brb
Drive! Drive like the wind, Crossy!
=^..^=

Good.

What is the expected high for the day?
21
Having a heat wave...
The wind will not relent: S 23 G 32 mph
-6 windchill
brrrr
That is just a light breeze where I'm from.
And it could be a northern wind.
warming up here today -- but first we're having sleet LOL
Much better than the days of minus fifty
Yes, I suppose dark breezes are much worse.
love the story of the prisoner in KY who escaped . . . then came back the next day LOL
too damn cold
That's funny, Une.
:-D
At least 20 deaths are linked to snowstorms and Arctic air hitting much of the nation
major volunteer efforts locally to get homeless folks off the street
I can't imagine not having a place to sleep on nights like that.
The volunteer efforts must be working. I would have expected a higher number of deaths with these dangerously cold temperatures.
here in Nashville, volunteers were out all nite picking up folks in need of shelter
reminds me of winter on Little House on the Prairie Also, the natives wintered in teepees around here.
You live in a good place Une. Nashville is a great city. Lots of good folks there.
not called the Volunteer State for nuthin' :-)
100 to go and taking a break *poof*

Greyed all the vowels...Always a relief.
I'm impressed.

clued earlier as change coins in to currency - 9 is pl of the 8
just finished all the 7s and 8s - time for a breakfast break

good morning all and ty for the mo8/9 combo - now off to the store as that made me nbt/nbs- bbl :-)
i have first part of currency and then jogged and not working. hmmmm
Make sure it is the past time of jogged
Or the past time of jog
i got that but doesnt end near the s for plural. it is an r word. and the first part isnt working i guess either.
that clue for the mo8 and 9 is not coming to me...
The mo8 and 9 uses the six point tile.
i have the seven but not 8 or 9
The mo7 you are looking for mkg is not a plural
ty bea..got it now
the 9 is plural i thought. i have 7. need 8 and 9.
Yes the nine is a plural but it does not from the mo7
ok. off to work.
Work. Blech.
:P

ty zooz that was the one i needed
are the pe 7s common words?
What pe 7 words do you commonly use?
would we know them if we saw them from the grid?
I would not refer to them as commonly used words.
well I went looking for a humidifier and got nothin'
peri did you check walmart orLowe's?
I went to walmart and should have bought the vicks one there but I didn't. went to bed, bath and beyond and they only had the vicks one for med-large room.
they did have a personal one for $20.00 but I did not want to pay that much for a very tiny one.
will look again tomorrow
I think the flu is gone and now have my regular allergies
was the one at walmart the size you needed?
do you need one asap or can you check amazon.com?
I would like one now and do not want to pay shipping charges. but I have lived this long without one
I will check amazon. com anyway, ty cos for the suggestion
I think it was mf
why dont you go back to walmart tomorrow and get the one you liked?
usually amazon shipping is free with certain amount of purchase. i know for movies i have to spend 25 to get free shipping
peri if it is the only one they had waiting might not be a good idea
they had more than one of them at walmart
ro7 clue please?
and I am too tired to go out again today
then wait another day i doubt they will sell out of them it wont hurt lol
I hightly recommend an Amazon Prime membership. Not only do you get free 2 day shipping, but you get access to free movies and TV shows as well. It pays for itself in no time.
ro7 spins around
duhh ty i had the 6
great picture in your icon, Molly
yw
I get things pretty quickly from Amazon without prime
I ordered an iron from Amazon on Thursday and it was delivered on Sunday
back again - 86 to go
I buy all my books from Amazon..great prices
hello nan
do you have prime, Annie?
hi cyber
no, peri
I buy my kindle books from Amazon
I ordered a movie on TUes on amazon.. it came today.. their delivery is a lot faster now
Most of the time, when I compare prices, I can't do better than Amazon.
We do not get post deliveries on a Sunday.
And Peri, it's not so much the 2-day thing as it is not paying any shipping charges.
cos that is because its not xmas lol
molly are you really from Pleasantville?
what is the difference between a vaporizer and a humidifier
google it, peri
nothing that i know peri
cos love the icon
mizes
sorry
A vaporizer disperses warm mist, a humidifier disperses cool mist
there ya go
I vaporize every time i exhale :-)
on 7, please?
nan, just once
cyber compound word number plus what you tell on a clock

I was watching tv and this guy asked his friend "why is it people from chicago have to tell us they're from chicago even if they dont live there anymore" :)
Sounds like Jed and Leo to me. : D
Yes!
ryan laughed so hard he says it is so true :P
I know more about that show than I probably should
Annie.i just checked and i think, Hurshy is still playing as she is high up the 'whos hot list' maybe just does not have time to chat.
zooz, thanks, I was getting concerned about her
my boss mentioned something about rolling kids socks up and down for weather. i broke out in an inappropiate laugh. thanks toby
Last time I saw Hurshy here was October 27. There was some chat about her on line photographs that seemed to unsettle her.

Wolvie, bet you are missing snowboarding on Lake Michigan ... still remember the surfing report on WLS
:D- i have never snowboarded in my life. i used to water ski in summer- and SKI on snow in winter. i am not sure i could keep my balance on a snowboard lol
And fireworks for me.
congrats zoo !
Happy babbling everyone....byee!
ttfn zoo
this is the kind of grid I like. But I'm starting so late
hi bich :-)
hi Wolvie
The only difficult words are the ones you cannot find.
H Ho
Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum
Step up to the tub It ain't no disgrace Just pull up your sleeves And get up in place Then scoop up the water And rub it on your face An' go blud-dle-ud-dle-ud-dle Ud-dle-um-dum
back later- time to feed the animals
while the chicken livers soak in milk, I'll finish this grid.. hi o-o, bichon, anyone else here
moi
hi Erda (-:
Hello, Aloy. Do the chickens get paid for their body parts?
I doubt it o-o, they just earned chicken feed
I was really blind to the seven letter words, having to use morewords
Ooooh -- deep thoughts from little minds or little thoughts from deep minds...
I like Deep Thoughs by Jack Handy
stuck on tr7.28
usually I see it if I ask for a clue, will see if that works
The one who does the tr before it
Sorry, tr4 before it
one who proceeds at a certain gait...
oh brother.. ty Molly and Erda, a curly one, got it
“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh,†he whispered. “Yes, Piglet?†“Nothing,†said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, “I just wanted to be sure of you."
I really enjoy Winnie the Pooh
count all the bees in the hive
chase all the clouds from they sky..
howdy crossy (-:
howdy ,alloy:)
last word ze6, back to the chicken livers if no one needs a clue
Who is a bee's favorite singer? Sting!
what is a honeymoon sandwich?
lettuce alone !
hmmm
oh for ... I thought both of those were clues for the ze6 ! :D
well, that is about all the jokes I remember.. lol, ch12, we're just goofing off
ze + the beginning of the alphabet and then add a metal cans are or used to be made of
ah, thank you aloy! Now you can return to your chicken littles ;)
lol, ok.. am fixing them with bacon and onions and baby portabello mushrooms.. jasmine rice on the bottom, broccoli on the side.. getting hungry! poof
For those who enjoy playing with the jigsaw puzzles on jigidi.com, I have put 3 more amazing puzzles up for your enjoyment. They are called Mountain Stream , Snowy fence and Snowshoes required. I hope you enjoy them. The Mrs. and I took these pictures just today.
i'm completely blanking on any words that start with ar... is there a pattern or something i'm missing to get going?
Most of them start with ar+vowel
a person who likes Picasso might be considered ar6/18 than someone who like velvet paintings of Elvis.
thanks people!
In the crowd I run with, tartier is most definitely a word. : D
Laryngytis, speed?
clue for the on 7, please?
number + what a watch tells
Something that happens singularly is a on7 event
Hi Bugs and all. Just starting and haven't even worked my way across the grid once.
too easy once I have the clue. Thanks ladies
Number plus tick tock...
Hi gmere! Thank you so much for your thoughtful gift. I intend to phone you as soon as I get my voice back from laringytis, for real!
good clues ty.
Clues, clues everywhere!
Oh. That was why chat logs were invented bugs. Thanks received sorry your voice is gone.
I got good news from the surgeon yesterday. I can now begin to stand on my foot and should be able to lose the cast by next week. Then therapy....
I am not getting the football out yet for punting practice, bugs.
good. I was not aware of how sore it would be. :)
Makes us all thankful for the good health we have.
for sure! I have a MUCH better awareness of how hard it is too be limited
wonderful news bugs! sounds like you are firmly on the healing path.
great news Bugs
hi all
thank you mab. seeing the xray with all the screws and plates set firmly in place was comforting.
hi peri. are you over the flu yet?
Just starting out and need a boot. ar 7 and 8? please.
I think so. but still have my alllergies which are a nuisance. I am looking to buy a humidifier which should help
ar7 ends in an odd spelling of not day
ty
Molly, you rock!
ty Molly
ty Molly
You're welcome to all. : )
hi DR. haven't seen you here in a long time
Hi Bugs! I have been around... mostly after work.. I have a cold so I am home today.
I have it too. we can cough in unison
ok- sounds like a plan
wow! I killed the chog
I am here. Hi, kids!
Hi Scrabs! How are you?
Brain dead from work, and I am on-call. I am here to unwind.
Welcome!
Everybody is coughing--kids and adults. It's that time of year.
I had been well. Then O went back to the office and got sick
not O- I
Jakester has it too but not as bad anymore
I just proved again that I am a moron. I checked on the frozen pizza cooking in the oven and discovered that I am cooking the pizza WITH the cardboard bottom underneath.
I did that too once, Scrabbler. It didn't cook in the middle
I was slicing the pizza and realized the middle was uncooked and then I saw the cardboard. I am a doofus.
but you are not alone in doofushood
*doing a curtsy*
* returning secret handshake*
Yep, we're cool!
*Sends pizza delivery menus to Scrabbler and Bugs*
TY, I am hypoglycemic and need to eat stat.
Many thanks Molly. I hate cooking so much I can
hi all. any cliues for the 9?
... can't even do stuff that is bad for me properly.
I don't have it
Me too, Bugsaw!
do you know what it starts with mkg. Apparently I have it
Mo 9
but Molly is the better cluer if she is not still in the kitchen cooking for us
All hail doofushood! I've had an interesting evening. My chimney caught fire & I had to call the fire service. Eight (8) burly firemen arrived. Goes without saying I was just out of the bath, sans make-up & that rat-tail hair-do.... The good news is that they put the fire out. I'm on brandy #2 as I type.
I have it...mo9, its a plural...to make cash, uses the high tile
Oh, geez, Soodle! That is scary!
oh soodle, glad you are okay. enjoy the brandy.
welcome Soodle. so glad all is well and burly firemen were kind
howdy again my babble friends!. I am glad you are safe and did not burn the house down ,soodles
Oh dear, soodle. Get any chunky numbers?
I was in NY all day, came back in the afternoon, went out again, started the gird, went out and came back to finish. Fireworks
And I avoided an oven fire.
and I avoided a fire by not cooking.
glad you are ok Soodle.
Thanks, folks. It was scary. My daughters were here, recording the whole thing on snap-chat! 'Hey everybody - guess what? Our house is in fire' sheesh
Whooo hooo, Annie
when I was a teenager we lived where there was snow on the roof and we had a chimney fire on Christmas Eve. It was so much fun on Christmas day to see the kids faces following the footprints to the chimey on the morning!
Aw, cute, Bugs. :-)
my sister and I were in the bathroom doing our hair because we knew the burly firemen were coming. My mother was acting like a crazy woman
that creosote sneaks up on you:(
the firemen never came back
lol,your house was on fire and you and your sister were in the bathroom getting all dolled up to be ready for the firemen when they arrived?? lol
*HIres several chefs for appropriate kitchens. Sends a chimney sweep to Soodle's house*
We live in the back end of nowhere. No house numbers or area codes. Yet, it only took 14 minutes for the firemen to arrive. Not bad.
that is why our mother was acting like a crazy woman crossy
Alright, my pizza is now fully baked without the cardboard underneath.
was easy soodles,they just drove up to the one with flames shooting out of the shiminy stack;))
so now you will get a number on your house, right?
chiminy
chimney
Lol, Crossy. When the control guy phoned me back for directions, thats exactly what I said!
chim-chimminy-chim-chimminy:)
Chim-chim-cheree
A Soodles as lucky as lucky can be...
Not much point, Bugs, if none of my neighbours have a house number. Number 25, Ballygobackwards is not much use if theres no 24 or 26!
it is if you are only looking for 25 Soodle. depends on how you look at it
True! Anyway, brandy #2 seems to have evaporated (!), so I'll head off to bed. 'Nite all.
Sleep well!
sleep deeply now you are safe Soodle
Gnight Soodle
what do they do with the mail for your area then, soodles? throw it all in a pile in the middle of someones yard and let you all come over and pick through it? lol
just teasing. back in the day, we were so far in the boonies, all we had was general delivery and had to drive to the post office for all of our mail
Hi all :)
Soodle lives in the country crossy. by the time the mail comes everyone on the street already knows what is in it
Hi Liz
:)
howdy liz
Like your new puzzles, crossy :)
hi from CA everyone.
hi Liz
ty liz. we took those photos today
We have a mail center. It is an the entrance to our development up here in the woods. It is 2/3 mile from my house. We have a box and a key.
howdy bichon
Hi Bichon in California!
That seems to be the trend Scrabs
hi Scrabs, crossy, Bugs, Liz
indeed scrabs. I keep forgetting bout those things
Canada is going to make everyone have a central box like that Scrabbler. The elderly and disabled are upset
Hi bichon - hope you're having a good holiday.
Visiting with grandkids and enjoying some milder weather
Both good things to be doing ;)
i can understand it somewhat, bugsaw. was on a snow packed mountain road today and this particular spur is about 5 miles long but only has two year round residents on it so the poor mailman has to drive 10 miles of bad road to deliver to two houses!
help with 2nd pe5/12 pls
Sorry :(
nm
And Periwinkle just demonstrated the Peri Maneuver perfectly!
:)
she did indeed
perfect execution
i give it a 9.6
I can only wish to be that proficient at it.
A perfect 10 from all of the judges. The crowd is wild!
*curtsies*
I agree with "somewhat" but do worry about the elderly and disabled. Our mailbox is 1 kilometre away and the old man with the hip transplant that didn't quite take would never get his mail
Brava! Brava!
that is a worry re the elderly and disabled
love that Peri maneuver!
:)
he must leave the house sometime though,bugsaw. those who have difficulty will have to let it like up till they are going out for something else anyways
let it pile up for a few days*
though i understand the difficulties
true but it means he has to trust people for absolutely everything now. it is disheartening
it can be very hard:((
are you mocking me crossy for caring about the sick people? Ha! I will fart in your general direction!
(insult curtesy of MontyPython, not real)
i would never mock you,bugsaw
haha, Bugs
peri got it, I feel better for saying it ;)
ewww, a fart attack
Also a Python fan and got it :)
I must remember to use that line sometime, Bugs, it made me lol.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
caught me with my mouth open too:((
I didn't know you guys were kidding around
of course, bichon;)
just jumping in here and saw bubs' comment and didn't know from whence it came
I am glad I explained then bichon. Not everyone knows Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. as soon as I heard it, it became my favourite insult
Just a flesh wound ...
bugsaw, may the bird of paradice fly up your nose and may an elephant caress you with his toes
we are all friends here bichon and sometimes we tease each other in good fun
I really have to see that movie
I know that
I wonder if people coming in in the middle of a session like that is what caused some people to become disillusioned a while ago. I apologize if I was part of it.
I am joining a bridge club with some friends. Does anyone have some good websites to receommend? This is a new venture for me.
Know nothing about bridge
One fine day as I was walking down the street I spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet Took a penny from my pocket in his tin cup I did drop it And I heard him say as I made my retreat: May the bird of paradise fly up your nose may an elephant caress you with it's toes May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose May the bird of paradise fly up your nose My laundry man is really on his toes found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes When he called me I came running gave him back his dime for phoning And I heard him saying as I turned to go May the bird of paradisee... I was way behind one day to catch a train The taxi driver said we'll make it just the same A speed cop made it with us and as he wrote out the ticket I stood by politely waitin' for my change
maybe flosey or jillibus know some sites since they play bridge
No need to apologize. When you enter there is almost always an ongoing conversation.
"we are all friends here bichon and sometimes we tease each other in good fun"...that needs to be a sampler hanging on the wall here, just as a reminder
Donning gasmask to make one final foray.....crossy, our mailman knows who lives where. We are lucky that we have an unusual surname. Pity the poor souls by the name of Murphy, Byrne or Walsh. Everybody gets to read each other's mail.... Bank statements, love letters everything! Repoof
if that little bit of fun was enough to sour someone on babble forever,then they do not have the thick skin needed for some of the session that happen
Sorry to read about the fire Soodle but glad you're all OK.
I can't believe the Post Office returns mail if it's sent to the wrong Zip Code.
ta7 pls
In England the post code is very specific to a couple of houses - here it covers a huge area!
My father was named for his father and he said they had to phone each other all the time when people didn't put Jr or Sr behind the name
NM
Soodle, just coming back aboard and have not heard of a fire. I do hope it was not large and no one injured.
she did it again
glad you are ok, Soodle
:)
There was a fire at your house Soodle?
Who did what again, crossy?
applause for the peri maneuver or however you spell it
I wish this grid would end
You are such a show-off, Peri.
just someething I do well.
peri pulled a peri,stidmere
17 left. I am tired today even with a nap
We love peri. She finishes all the time. She is like next to Dr. God.
trying to get my stamina back
A hint for the 9 would be nice, pls
When Peri does 'a Peri', all is right with the world. It's like a comfort blanket!
thanks stidgmere but hardly. lots of people finish and much faster than me
So, Soodle, what happened?
*Scatters incense and bows in Peri's general direction*
Soodle, you had a fire at your house?
aww, I am feeling special tonight.
You are special Peri. Just like everyone else in Babble.
did you know,there are several types of "peris" ?? if it happens in 10 seconds or less that is called a whiplash peri. any peri that is from 10 seconds to 45 seconds is a standard peri and and anything from 45 seconds to 59 seconds is a just in under the wire peri
Soodle's story is at 5:28. She is supposed to be in bed now
I was not aware of that crossy
but she and the house are safe
it is true,peri:))
Haha, crossy
Go to bed Soodle. I will go to 5:28 to year it. Peri is fast at any speed.
(crossy in training to be an Olympic judge)
Better than being unsafe at any speed
I want to judge the ski jumping. One down, two down, three down and so on. I can do that.
A pretty dramatic chimney fire. I have an aga stove in the kitchen & all of a sudden, a scary whooshing noise started coming out of it. I went outdoors & saw flames coming out of the chimney, so I called 999.
hahaha stidgmere
28 left for later. Have a good evening all :)
Thank you Molly for finding my post and realizing what I was referring to.
Bye, Liz.
i would love an aga!
By Liz.
bye Liz. be safe
though most of the modern ones are gas/electric combos
Lol! I'm in bed. But despite 2 brandies, still a bie wired.
Chimney fires make astonishing sounds. Makes you believe in banshees.
What's an aga?
It's a wood stove Bich
Ok, always learning something new here.
Hin for the 9, pls
they used to come as wood only,or gas only or wood and gas combos. there is a dealership in Toronto.that is the only source we have for them here in this province
Points to Gran Mere for knowing what a banshee is
mo8 = to create money. Add S for the 9.
Here comes pedantic pat.... Its actually a solid fuel cooker/stove.
yes,there are many varieties
tyvm Scrabs
What solid fuel do you use Soodle?
i would love one of the old wood/gas ones
Mea culpa, I forgot about pe4 burning on the Auld Sod
And, yikes, mine did some howling this evening. I burn turf in it Gmere.
Like grass?
Ah. We saw turf drying by cottages when we visited Ireland. We were there in the fall and the blue skies rivaled Seattle's and I understand occur about as often.
for those who are interested in these beautiful aga's , here is the web site: http://tinyurl.com/olxfzeo
Bich. I'm going to put my email address in my profile. Will you email me with your postal address & I will send you some turf/peat. Its not grass. Its centuries old..... Bog stuff. Impossible to describe, it must be experienced.... Gmere knows!
Some are electric and gas.
yup
is it like the peat we buy to put on our gardens? I have always wondered
i am partial to the 3 oven cooker gas model
O, to have a little house! To own the hearth and stool and all! The heaped up sods against the fire, The pile of turf against the wall! To have a clock with weights and chains And pendulum swinging up and down! A dresser filled with shining delph, Speckled and white and blue and brown! I could be busy all the day Clearing and sweeping hearth and floor, And fixing on their shelf again My white and blue and speckled store! I could be quiet there at night Beside the fire and by myself, Sure of a bed and loth to leave The ticking clock and the shining delph! Och! but I'm weary of mist and dark, And roads where there's never a house nor bush, And tired I am of bog and road, And the crying wind and the lonesome hush! And I am praying to God on high, And I am praying Him night and day, For a little house - a house of my own Out of the wind's and the rain's way. Padraic Colum Submitted: Thursday, January 01, 2004
((crossy)) I like the new icon!
a perfect poem Soodle.
and I am done. More Words is required for the mo words.....
Whoo-hoo Bugs! Way to go!!
Hi Mimi
Yay, Bugsaw. Now go relax.
Hi, Scrab!!
I give up, first te5/10 pls. I hope it is not a fish
Not alto or baritone
I say that poem every year when I light my first fire in the fireplace.
duh, ty Scrabs.
*swinging a huge cod around, ready to toss it at Peri*
FW, finally
Yay, Peri!
it will knock me over Scrabbs.
going to watch some TV before bed, happy babbling all
Here it comes, Peri....whoosh.
yike, down for the count
bye for now
night peri
((mimi)) make sure you check out my three new jigidi puzzles : mountain river,snowy fence and snowshoes required. the mrs and i were taking some pics on the hill today
The peat smoke is one of the primal scents that make one glad to be alive.
Primal scents...what a great description
Well, I have 94 left and I finished all of the 4's. That is enough. See you tomorrow.
Bye Scrabbler/ I think my typing is deteriorating. Time for me to call it quits too. Goodnight all.
I 'performed' that poem at a concert when I was about 8 or 9. I've always loved it. So, Gmere, if you were at my house this evening, you'd have been od'd on peat smoke. I thought our poot old budgie was a goner. But he lives to chirp another day!
I think the adrenalin might be abating now. I'm going to make another attempt to sleep....
What is the second z ? I missed the hint.
Good Evening Everyone! How are you all this evening?
Sorry, dpomfr, I only have a ze 4/9. Is that what you are looking for?
howdy nef
Hi crossy. How are you today?
reading back, you mentioned jigidi puzzles. I saw someone mentioned them the other day, so I went over there and have been hooked on doing the jigsaw puzzles.
I did 2 or 3 of yours; the toughest one I've done (to date) is your picture of the ship (?) ferry?
ze6.33 ........ z & dining or e****g
Good afternoon all
thanks, lynxxx. How are you today?
yw. Hiding out inside - we are at the start of a hot spell - unlike the rest of the world it seems
they are easy to get addicted to,nef
howdy lynxx
hi Cross
right now we are in a heat spell of sorts. It's actually 18 degrees above (F) right now!
it is actually a restored mail ship built in 1865 i believe. it is the oldest in north America and still retains its designation as a royal mail ship with the Canadian govt
Ty liyn
try one of my new ones nef
yw dpomfr
Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today?
1865 or 1884. cannot remember exactly.will have to google it
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!
howdy min
Hi Min.
hi Min
hello people.
hi Ru
Hello rururocks! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi ruru. How are you today?
thanks
hey all
i'm fine.. lots of driving.. hey doren
hi Dorens
what's with all the driving Ru? buying or selling?
my grandkids are getting a new whippet puppy next weekend
Hi Dorens. How are you doing?
that will come in handy when they need a spanking
very excited, particularly since i'll be going with them to pick it up. oh ruuuuu!
we've all missed Calvin very much… he died in October, and this one has been picked out… different look, but whippets are whippets
They will have lots of fun with a whippet! Stewart had so much fun with them last week he broke a toe!
Hello Dorens! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.
they've never had a puppy before… Calvin was already 5 or so before Phoebe was born… this should be so much fun
hi min good, and you?
how did he break his toe lyn?
I'm well, but tired.Was up until 1:00 playing Candy Crush.
He was leading a chase and did a sharp right hand turn (to avoid the fence)...greyhounds aren't as nimble/agile as whippets!
ah, they are a bit larger too
finally found my last h
There is a group of up to 8 whippets that gather in the evenings at a local school...lots of tumbling and 'mouthing'...they are exhausting to watch
*drinking petite sirah and wrapping up the grid*
goodness. i still need 5… better get busy
that must be fun lynnx
i mean 5 h's… 65 altogether
i've never seen a group like that lyn… but when we go to pick up the puppy, i guess i will...
and my last L
3 letters left - 73 to find!
finally listed
couldn't take it anymore
hi everyone!
hi Dawg
I have been doing very badly with most of the grids lately, listing quite early
hello lbd
i went through a couple of weeks without listing too much but latley.. It's too hard
ruru is too smart for his own good… it catches up with him
the only thing smart about me is my ass
well, i won't go there…. won't touch that…. whatever clever words you want
good call doren :D
had a parent conference today with a truly insane man. have been dealing with him for seven years now… He is certifiable i think. and he won't listen to what anyone says … just rants and raves and highjacks the meetings. He is convinced his daughter needs no psychiatric help… it is shameful that he can do this. SHe was a selective mute since kindergarten, now morphing into anorexia… has lost 30 pounds
... get it smart ass.. ?
yes, ru, of course i got it## (my ass is big, not smart… my only smarts are in my brain)
oh boy that's a problem parent
oh my. and no mother around? or any other relative?
cps doesn't want to do anything, as long as she isn't being abused!
there always has to be one huh?
the mother is agoraphobic and afraid of him for the most part… grandmother died last year… aunt used to always take care.. she and the dad had a major fight (yes, it got physical) and it has him unhinged and they have court orders against each other so the girl can't see auntie since november
and starving herself to death and not talking isn't an indication of real issues - hardly a protective service
poor kid - no wonder she has issues
absolutely… i will probably contact the supervisors next and let them know… we finally got in touch with the pediatrician today (since we conned him into signing a release of info document) and she herself had been thinking of calling them.
good god. I sure hope someone advocates for the poor child.
why isn't the dad in jail?
i might miss this job when i'm retired next year
he hasn't "abused" her. done nothing to get him in jail
Terrific work you do Dorens
you'll miss most of the people, and certainly be glad not to be involved with others. :)
I meant the Aunt
he claims (and his wife corroborates) that the aunt "shoved" him first.. they are BOTH lunatics!! who knows what the truth is. he is not a physically violent man generally. just obnoxious narcissistic, manipulative, controlling and paranoid
sounds like a great guy
but the wife is afraid of him, so of course she's going to side with him
the wife has such anxiety issues, and i finally was getting somewhere with her on the phone, she was going to try to get the girl to see her therapist, but he has squashed that and she doesn't return my calls anymore
sure about that abuser thing?
How old is the girl?
Dorens, in Montana I would be required to report this to family services.
not sure, but mental abuse absolutely. girl is 12 now. selective mutism was her first problem and he refused to see it. now this kid went to our school for years barely speaking really. and if she decides she wants to starve herself, i really think she could.
i have repeatedly. called and asked for them to come to this meeting so they could see him in action… they have CLOSeD the case, harp
that's why i'm calling the supervisors division tomorrow. particularly since the pediatrician said she was alarmed also. and he refused today, laughed at me, when i said she needs immediate psychological care.. insists she has physical problems due to his sister giving her antibiotics when she didn't need them. now all she needs is probiotics..
pe 7/32 please (last one)
and the pediatrician must be obliged to call them too surely?
pe + a pair of mr. hawthornes
pe + a lot of mr hawthornes
ty both
you can't get ahead of me doren
the md said she had "thought" of calling them. don't know why she hadn't.
I had a lot less to go ..
no worries ru, i won't
ok whew
38 left and not thinking straight
got all riled up remembering that issue from today.
dorens, i just keep reporting it even if they aren't doing anything. they can't always tell the person who reports it what the whole story is.
oh... sorry.. but good for us to know
*bangs head on desk*
i know i'll be tied up half the day tomorrow working on it, but now that the md is on our side, i think i might get somewhere. unfortunately nj cps is loathe to do anything unless kids are being physically abused or outright neglect. crazy parents are another story
I agree with Harp - and I would be calling the pediatrician - and aking her to report as well. She must have an even greater obligation to follow up on this than you have Dorens
fl6?
34 left - all T. Ts kill me lately
today the nurse got to her . i only got that report shortly before i left. i am calling the doctor myself tomorrow and if i don't' get to speak with her first, i am going to the supervisor of the man i spoke with yesterday (who didn't want to come to this meeting today because they had "closed the case"). they are idiots
f & not heavies
thanks!
good advice, too… thanks buds
The girl is lucky to have someone like you caring about her. pooh on the cps that don't want to be bothered.
biab, need a hot cuppa.
it is just so late in the game… she needed help back in kindergarten and we tried then. have been trying ever since… but the anorexia will convince people i would think
lost 30 pounds since june… i mean, how obvious is that?
that's awful doren
they're just being stupid
Dorens, that's terrible! That poor child!
i think you're right too… the MD should have called before..
Agreed. Some things need to be reported by multiple entitites, but it shouldn't take this many times.
hey all
hi Stid
maybe the local papers?
hi stid. and yes, ru, i have thought of that but i'd need my principal's clearance first.. that is so political.
that is what i intend to threaten the supervisors with if they do nothing tomorrow
Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
hello Min -- hello all!
Get the principal to contact cps as well - the child is under the schools care and therefore under him/her too
nice to see everyone!
down to 270 now.
hello dear friends.....dorens, you are a gift. I have been following your thread here....
i will do everything i can tomorrow. will let you know the outcome…
hi Trif
good luck doren.. sounds like you can't win either way
((trifioso))
go stid!!
but since you're retiring .. you still need to do the right thing
As an abused kid.. I wish someone would have spoken up for me
I ha4 to ask for something so pedantic during such a good chog, but I need help.....count for the fourth column e please?
oh i will. but even so, they move so slowly. and what can they do? insist on therapy? they don't want to take kids away from parents at all these days… lack of foster families… i've seen them screw up so much.
Continental monetary unit?
(that was the eu4)
like I said.. odds are against you doren
ugh....fish!
document what you've tried to do
If nothing is done - the child will die - and everyone will be looking for a scapegoat.
really… against mary, not me
i've learned to document everything (but i often forget when i get busy)
very sad situation
Emails, doren? At least in Washington, anything we send from school is an official document by definition.
or does your cps only do phone?
true stud… but they only do phone.
hey stud… that is my computer doing that, sorry
don't know why, but i have to fight with it to get it to say stid these days
I know, Doren, spellcheck is my nemesis!
Are you allowed to tape phone conversations if you ask? Maybe tell them you are so concerned about this childs crisis that you want to tape all conversations and are they OK with that?
hmmm. i think i'm okay just taking notes during the call… and that's what i tend to do with them now...
sorry _ I am indignant that you are beig ignored. I'll shut up now
stud?
that's ok. it is only now that i intend to make a big stink, since the MD debunked the whole bullshit the father has been telling us about why she lost the weight. there was a slim chance he was right, but now we know, it's different
I think she means I am dense, ruru -- as in a stud in a wall that is solid enough to pound nails into.
hahaha
lol
oh.. whew.. thought we were talking about a sex change here
hey why not? spice things up a bit
..maybe if you write to Cher?...
rofl
why Cher?
she might pay for it
her daughter?/son?
like she did for her kid
stidpapa has a nice ring to it
or even better Stidstud
oh, I hadn't heard about that payment
there is ALREADY a "stidstud" (how do you think Matthew and Grant happened?)
oh.. LOL
tr**
*grin*
