hi rose!!

Hi and hugs Rose and thank you
feeling better Rose
fireworks
not really, hun. throat feels very sore.
WTG DEE!!!!
bad cold rose?
ty
ahh, nasty old cold and flu--warm hugs
hope you feel better SOON~~!
not really, dee, pugs. just a cough which won't leave me alone. *sigh* i think it's because don has been sweeping and not vacuuming. i used to get bad asthma when anyone swept around me.
thanks for the se clues - was away for a few minutes - flashing lights across the way - could be a hydro call
aww... I empathize!!
have had a cold / sinus junk this week... can't seem to get on top of it. Hope yours improves ASAP~
what is a hydro call?
so how do i teach this old dog new tricks? he doesn't understand that sweeping fills the air with dust particles.
hewwo
ah rose, sorry you're feeling poorly
hi cos
hey ya cos. aww dee, hope you improve too, hun.
good luck with that, rose... haven't been successful here after 40 years
hi cos
exhaust fan maybe
Hi cos

and they are so proud of themselves LOL
he can't wait to get back to you flosey :D
hi ru
lol that's it ru
Hope you get feeling better too Dee
Hi Ruru
hi everyone
yes, and hi ru
you've been lurking??
LOLOLOL, yeah i know. i have to take the bull by the horns and tell him. i am waiting to see if it develops further. if it doesn't then it definitely the sweeping.
ty... am so ready for spring. Just read that we are under a winter chill advisory (-10 to -20 tonight), and another winter storm is expected this weekend. YUK!
not long
hey ruru. have you had a good day, mate?
yeah I know Dee--we got a small storm today coming and a big one over the week-end too
long day.. got up at five and flew to ORange County and back.. my flight was two hours late at the airport and I just got home
they're threatening us with another snowfall Monday!! don't expect it by this time of year
oh that's tiring, ru
Exactly, flosey!!
ugh, ruru. you poor man. you must be exhausted.
Yikes, ru! Awful day!
I think i'll sleep through the night for sure
It will hit you first, pug :(
If Iam right its coming from the heavy rains thats hitting cal.
Could be, I didn't see from where it is coming this time.
yep.. we're going to get it tomorrow
I thought so, when it hits us and the cold temps its changing to snow and ice and whatever else it can come up with--lol
ahhhh, red boxes are gone
server was throwing another temper tantrum apparently
refreshed,. red boxes went away
finally...
yes, but I had to wait a bit
not fond of babble's new server... lots of hiccups
well, I am off til the flip. Stay warm and dry all!!
night dee, hope you rest well, hun
goodnight Dee, sweet sleep, see you tomorrow

Re-hi :)
wb-Liz
hey ya liz. just saw another amazing episode of grand designs. if you have time, definitely worth seeing.
Happy that you had good company for your birthday, Pugs :)
thanks Liz
I'll look into it sometime Rose - used to watch the renovation programmes in the UK but tend not to here - I know that Grand Designs is a UK programme and I did see the water tower, which was awesome!
Could do with a vowel in the middle row!
Are you feeling any better Rose or did the flu get you?
liz, i don't think it is the flu. it's not progressing at all.
I hope you can shake off whatever it is very quickly! Did you have hydrotherapy today - if so, did it go well for you?
used to get asthma whenever someone swept with a broom instead of vacuuming. i can't seem to make don understand that sweeping is not an option.
Hide the brooms
felt too sick to go to therapy, was afraid that if itis the flu, i might pass it on.
My hay fever is totally unpredictable here! I knew my season in England - here I react for a few days then stop, then odd days here and there - very weird.
Hi o-o
Fly up here on your broom - not that I'm calling you a witch - lol!
lol...o-o....do you think that work? i think that if i don't get any worse, it has to be the dust getting in.
*chucks pillow at liz*
Ducked!
goosed, you mean? lolol
:) - Good one! But I'm on my own in here at the mo!
if i get better over the next few days, then it has to be the sweeping. and i can quite rightly insist that he vacuum.
Sounds good to me anyway!
*mutters to self* don't touch it, don't touch it...
So many w's to find!
Keenan Wy**
ty o-o - though I had to google the name because it was unfamiliar to me!

hi bich
hi o-o
i am playing hooky today so i thought i could at least spend a few minutes in babbleland
Well, it's too small for one thing. Although, now that I'm almost done with it, it's not that bad. :-p
131 looks good to me. . . i am so out of habit. . .
It's just right for a day when I have a lot to do. Dog groomer coming in less than an hour
*hands bichon a comb for the dog before the groomer comes*

Fireworks. *goes from 'grump' to SMUG*
Woot Judi
Whooo hooo judi!

Work, a waste of a day
indeed. . . i am so happy not to be at work today. . . .

last column t, pls
ty bichon
I am looking for that T as well
yw
greek letter
ah ty o-o that does the ticket

rough is too mild a word for this winter
I have been trying to wait for a relatively warm day for my plumber to fix my pipes. . . but I have been without water in my kitchen for over a month now. . .
he said he was coming today but it has yet to get to the 20s here. . . I don't want him working in such cold. . . he has about 5 years on me and is such a sweet man. . . .

hello jilly
i have no idea where anyone is in babble for the past few minutes or so
Well, I took day off to go with Mom to her MD appointment; now under blizzard watch and she canceled appointment. Babble and Scrabble I guess!
lol jilly i bet both of you are really disappointed ?lol
Hope your mom is ok:)
She's fine, just at that age where she is forgetful, but won't admit it. Was just a check on her BP. I pretty much have figured out her fall was on the spiral stairs in her house to account for the injuries. She wont admit that either
yikes
so stubborn.. *sigh*
my mom is in her 70s and has birsitis(sp) she is having a house built .. two stories but she says her bedroom is on main floor
Got you beat, mine is 94. lives alone in a log home at the end of a dirt road, private road not well maintained. Just waiting for the accident that will eventually happen.
jilly tha tis kind of scary. how long has she lived in that log home?
24 years, her bedroom is on main level. Issue will come in summer as upper story will get HOT and she will be going downstairs a lot
hello
does she have reasons to go upstairs on a regular basis jilly?
hi harp
Snow day today harp? Maybe will make it down to Clatters today!

Okay, STILL looking for that darned 5th column T!!
Jilly, I'm assuming Clatters is still on but I haven't checked with them. I want to move the harp early, whenever we get things shoveled out.
Hamilton still doing school. Think hell would freeze over before they closed!
Good morning! Well, they came and plowed us out (the county), so hubby could get into work and plow his area. Please, Mother Nature, make winter go away!!
Are you still in MT trentsnana?
I love it! Except that I have to go to Stevi today. No matter what.
Be careful...wish I had a Subaru like you!
I understand we are expecting a potentially significan storm Sunday night/Monday
Shooing this out to you phand...LOL
I have a Subaru. It got me to WV on a snowy morning one day. I was glad to have had it. I have been fortunate to not have needed it since, meaning I could just stay home.
you can keep it, Jilly
alrighty, husband ready to leave. Poof.
well, the lone T is NOT a tw word.
the wind tells me neither of us can do much about this!
or a th word. so it must be a te word
yup..hve the other ones
lone T is TE 6/24
Got IT!!
te6/24-lock jaw
ah, I was just looking at that one

Sorry, Jilly, walked away. Yes, we are still in MT. We will be until at least May - and that is if the house sells right away!
where are you in MT, trents?
South Central, just southwest of Billings
Midway between Columbus and Red Lodge.
oh, ya. we've had this conversation. Absorkee, nye, etc?
Right. Beautiful, but the snow has really fell here this year. We are probably close to 115" for the year!

hello 51 to go
I need coffee
ahhh, that's better.
Hi Harp:)
I don't drink it as it makes me sleep.
that's ok lilli, i shall drink your portion!
Glad about that Harp.i'll just drink tea with a dash of milk and green flavoured teas
I'm actually making green tea also.
My husband always drank a pint mug full of coffee but he hasn't drank it for 3 years now and drinks a pint mug full of tea instead
if i drink green tea, i have to add fresh lemon juice or honey.i don't like it on its own, but the flavoured green teas i will let stew for a bit
L, do all stimulants make you sleepy?
Hi Molly, no, coffee was the only one.i used to drink alot of coke and that kept me awake.i've spoken to others about coffee and i've found atleast 4 people that it makes sleepy too.plus i hate the taste of coffee, but i do love the fresh aroma of it
good afternoon everyone:) for me, any more than a single cup of coffee in a day gives me the shakes and makes me feel unwell
Hi Crossy:)that's not good
so, tea for me:)
how is Lillian this fine sunny winter day:) we have warmed up to minus 14c or so:)
I never use to drink alot of tea either, and there are days i like it without milk, it depends on my mood
Hello all. Just starting. Nice to see you lilliann, crossy and molly!
howdy stidmere
Well, it's dark here,but i think we have a barmy 2c i think :)
2c?? swimming weather!!
lol
Hi Gmere:) Lovely to see you as always, i hope you and hubby are well
9 to go then i have to move the harp in a borderline blizzard
Aye, i'll go and jump in the over flowing drain water Crossy and have a paddle :)
We are enjoying a blue-sky day here in the Northwest. Grandson over to get some time in the woodworking shop. He has an interest in creating.
we actually have a polar bear dip fund raiser set for mid march. all proceeds from tickets sales go to the hospital for some new equipment
That doesn't sound good Harp.stay safe
If I did the polar bear dip, I'd be the one in the hospital I think.
How does the cold affect the harp? Can you take it out early to your vehicle or do you need to wait until closer to the gig?
That sounds great Gmere, i hope he has fun and learns loads
Are you doing it Crossy?
I am no expert, but I think extreme cold would contract the wood and the strings would all be out of tune
yes, I am lillian
The cold makes it go out of tune, so I'm moving it a few hours early. Also I am waiting for a weather window, which I think has arrived.
I remember the fun I had using hammers and saws. Shall we fit you for a dry suit, Crossy?
Harps go out of tune all the time so you always allow for time to re-tune. It's not really that cold, just wet and windy.
no dry suit, a bath robe to walk out in and flip flops and boxers for the swim
6 left
I did a polar plunge in a sequined evening gown a few years back.
good for the pores
I hope you wear your woolen costume Crossy :) good for you hin.
:)
Good for you harp, I'll be thinking of you this evening!!
Good for you Harp, was it easy jumping in cold water with such a dress on?
never easy, no matter what you are wearing:)
your skin feels like it is on fire and a thousand neediles are stabbing you. your heart is racing and you are gasping
kind of like doing your taxes
Fireworks!! :)
That's not a nice feeling crossy. I couldn't do it!! i can't go under the water anymore as i get pressure in my ears/head, but good for you for doing it
yaaa for Lillian!
should raise enough to get three of the latest state of the art baby incubators, the ones with the billireuben (sp) lights for jaundice babies
I know they do that here,in our seas to raise money too Crossy.i take my hat of you and i'm sure you and many others wilol raise alot and it's definitely a worthwhile charity.it's just a shame that we have to raise money for these things and our governments to pay for them
Sorry about the mis-typing
they govt shaves the hospital budgets to the bone
i need a loo break but will be back to clue
k
aye, don't we know it!!
Am back to clue if needed.i had to give my husband some of the raspberry ripple cheese cake i bought on special tonight.i only gave him a small slice as it's late and i made chicken stuffed with cream cheese,garlic and herbs, wrapped in prosciotto ham with veg,roasted tatties,and a mushroom sauce, oh and i had a couple of yorkie puds instead of potatoes :)
mmmmmm
can I move in?
my crew is always on me for my butter/cheese yorkies
Your welcome anytime.i think we'd all enjoy your breakfasts, but i'd have to have them for my tea as i'm normally in bed for breakfast
ok, I shall make the brunch and you make the supper
Sounds really tastey, Lilliann. I have talked yorkie pudding with corssy from time to time.
Done Crossy:P
have supper around 6 pm then we can drink single malt whiskey till 2 am while playing scrabble
Yorkshire puddings on there own can be quite bland, but it depends on what gravy/sauce you put on them
I really jazz up my yorkies
Plus you can make gaint ones and fill them with tasty things and they can be eaten as puddings
I love a real rib roast for the pudding sauce to float in.
the cheese/herb ones are a favorite
I like to add finely chopped red onions, mushrooms and herbs to mine crossy, but i admit i've never tried cheese
What cheese do you use?
I don't mind the Scrabble crossy but not the Whisky
I've never had a rib roast Gmere, but sounds lovely....i can smell the aroma now and am feeling hungry again :)
I use a mota ray jack or some colyb or even a sharp 5 year old white cheddar, I have used the all
colby
Gmere, you can make giant Yorkshire puddings and add amince mix that you have made and also add new potatoes and veg in it, or a stew type dish and put that in the giant yorkie
So, cheddar type cheese then
my typing must be excused for today. English classes wore me out
Do they rise with you using chees and how much do you use?
yes, try a nice bold one first
I'll excuse you Crossy, my typing sucks all the time:)
they rise ,but not as much as with no cheese, I also ad a dash of baking power to assist the rise
i like a mature cheddar
oh ok, ty
yes, one with a bite
i wonder if i added some english mustard?
mm, interesting, what about a bit of honey and a good quality mustard?
i love diijon mustard
we like the coarse mustard
I cook alot with Diijon
gives the lips a tingle it does
and I always keep a tin of the dry mustard handy
i can get coarse dijjon
keens dry mustard.. 1000 uses;))
i have the dried english mustard but do mostly cook with the different Diijon ones
dijons are very nice as well
i don't think we can get that here Crossy
we also have a onion mustard preperation
I don't think we get that here
want a real treat? mix up some of the dry mustard, add a generous pinch of garlic and add a good dollop of honey and mix it to a spreadable consistancy
One to go that I cant find and I want to go to bed!!- bet I am looking at it - the ae4?
right
ae 4/6
eagle nest varriation
bottom ae
ae4, when the wind goes through your house
Oh sigh I've got it I was looking at the wrong A many thanks
:))
WTG Deeha!! :)
Goodnight folks good luck! Some funny words in here tonight
I just picked up a nice black angus roast for sunday dinner:))
gn deeha
How's the weather down there Deeha, as my brother lives in Deal
Congrats Deeha!!
Goodnight Deeha and tc
Black Angus? i've heard and eaten Angus beef as it Scottish but never heard of Black Angus
just a different strain. we have red angus and black angus
just google it, and you will see pictures of the beastie
mmm...i've never heard of either, i just eat it and like it :)
all angus is good beef
Are they the Hiry ones with horns?
i'll google
No, then, but they are Scottish cattle
they are tasty, that is all I know:))
I think we normallyget Aberdeen Angus here
Hiya Cross n Lil :-)
It's a shame that beef and lamb is very expensive here to buy
All for me now. Enjoy your Friday evenings and I shall do the same here. So nice to keep up with your interests and news!
Hi Soodle :)
I try and by one every fortnight or so. can feed the family for 3-4 days off of one
tc stidmere
Gmere, i hope you have a lovely weekend and tc.sending hugs to you and yours :)
Hi & bye Gmere
howdy soodles
i don't tend to eat alot of red meat now.when husband is away, the bairn and i prefer white meat
How's life treating you Soodle?
Any clues needed?
<----- would crawl over hot coals for a nice roast beef dinner, with Yorkshire puddings, roast spuds,& all the trimmings! And life has been busy, Lil. Not terribly productive, but busy!
No clues needed here. I'm celebrating an historic 4 in a row fireworks. (Smug smirk).
yaaa for soodles!
Yay for you hin!! you're entitled to smug :)
I'll cook you a traditional roast beef dinner Soodle
if no clues needed, i promised the bairn i would go to jigidi and do her puzzles
I'll bring the wine, Lil. Buckets of it. We'll have a right laugh. :-)
Nite, Lil. Take care, m'dear. X
Sounds great Soodle, the beef might be burnt though:)
Neither of us will notice, Lil!!!
My bairn really wants to come to ireland since her dad has been there loads and i do too, so you never know, we may hopefully appear when he's not working.He doesn't want us to go without him...i think because he wasnt's to be the tour guide!
Aye, your right soodle, when you have had a few glases of wine, anything tastes good:)
lol, the ladies are going to get snookered and burn the beef:)
And have right laughs but no left ones : D
Am off now to do my bairn's puzzles and have a rare cuddle with husband:) tc Soodle and Crossy and all
Riverdance, one of my favourite Babblers is coming in May. I'm beside myself at the thought of an Irish Babble meet. Lil, you & the bairn... Come on over.
Nite Lil. Hugs
She's in school then, but i think the whitsun week is at the end..i'll look
Whenever, Lil. Ye'd be as welcome as the flowers in Spring! :-)
And, of course, Crossy.... We're still waiting for you...
The bairn is off form 23rd to the 2nd of june...aww, thanks hin. i was thinking of taking her abroad, if the price was right but if we can do it for a good price we will soodle, but i think the bairn wants her dad to take us to your lovely country,
Thanks hin, but when we do come over, we will definitely see you:)
I will get there, soodles, promise!
definitely gone now:)
the money we had marked for the trip, sadly went to our pretty new jeep( you can see our new girl in jindigi puzzle) :))
jigidi
Crossy, if I had a choice between an (albeit awsome) brief encounter with an Irish Babble buddy & a beast of a machine like yours..... Yeah! I'd opt to meet Soodle. Not!!!!
I'm still around for the next short while if any lurkers need a clue??
hello friends. any clue for the lone t in the right column please?
the symptom from which lockjaw gets it name
muscle contractions
relief! NBT at last, thank you!!!!
Oooh. Thanks TO. I was struggling as to how to clue thar.
it was a tough decision, but our old conveyance was ten years old and although faithful, was beginning to eat money
ty. i did not have it ntil you made me look for it.
'That'. And, ((((Trif)))) . You are clearly happy, my dear,. How absolutely wonderful for you. Your FB posts never fail to make me smile!
how is trif this fine evening?
Crossy, i envy you your man machine. Nuff said!
I am looking for tetanus variation but cannot see it
nice mid-life crisis vehicle
well, i did not use that word because it merits the penalty box, crosshair
but hey, it's the new babble.
Te + what the sun does to your skin & sometimes vowel.
well,since there is no u in the grid, i am staying right here
ty soodles
Lol TO! New Babble! Ever evolving Babble.
oh, it is evolving alright
:))
i think devolving is more accurate.
Yay! Another dreadful Soodle-clue deciphered!
yes, sometimes it seems so
worked for me, soodles
so crossy, you have two chins now? :)
:-)
ok, I will bite. why would I have two chins?
soodle get it. post of 6:12
oh well. back to the grid
Lol, i heard a description of a work colleague today as 'having more chins than a Chinese telephone directory'. Not the most flattering description I ever heard
:)) = three moths or two chins
mouths. sheesh
oh soodle that is bad
ahh I see your confusion. here I will fix it.. :-)
better?
Trif is okay this evening, thanks
a moth with two chins :-)
hitting thebacon heavy these days ;)
or we are both hitting the keyboard a tad heavy
naw, this keypad is hot
well, kill the moths in it at least
Shot . Shot, not hot. thank god we don't have autocorrect. we would rule the interwed
can you imagine? we would beat the stuff on damned autocorrect by a mile.
I just tend to let small typos slide by instead of pouncing on them all
i think we can read between them by now for the most part
but it does make me iggle to think of autocorrect in chog. :D
that would be chaos!
U still on here, Trif?
Imagining chaotic iggling (sic). Oh my!
TRIF?????

FW Thanks for the help.
I'll save my last word for later. I will check back later for signs of life in the chat log.
Congratulations gapeach on your fireworks!Good for you
I need to let you all know why I haven't been participating in the chat lately. Several weeks ago we had an ice storm that crippled this city and surrounding areas. I, as many others, were without heat and land-line phones.....house is all electric. Many water pipes were frozen.....I was fortunate there, I let mine drip a little at night. Lost all food in freezer and fridge. Wore three layers of clothes and a knit hat (day and night). A very depressing time and then we had an earthquake and after shocks. But we made it. When I finally got the use of my computer, I just didn't feel like talking about it. I know there are many who are worse off than i.
evening all
that sounds decidedly un-fun, peach
It was, jes. Things are better now.
Hello jesdraggon! How are you doing? Welcome to puzzle.

testing icon
it's a target comic, cos - is that what it should be?
yes thanks! :)
what's a target comic?
*someone who makes fun of Target's customer's visas hacked by a computer hacker?
*watching joke wash gently down the drain*
cos's icon is a target comic, ru. I didn't know Target had been hacked...
yes millions of credit cards hacked
makes me glad I haven't got a lot of credit cards
Me too. I just have 4
heh. i have 1, and it's for work... unless you count debit cards, in which case I have 1 of those, too.
No debit cards here
i'd just as soon never use those, but so many places won't take checks...
Ever heard of cash?
yup, but hard to use that online :D
I had to pay Dr. God somehow, you know
Cash? What is that? I have not had any of that in awhile!
Yes. .He only does PayPal now right?
I pay most everything in cash
actually i don't remember, it's been so long since i sent him money... which kind of makes me feel guilty.
good job, ru, set off my over-active guilt circuit! :P
I am sure Dr god is doing OK
you know, i actually know nothing about dr. god except he somehow makes this work.
hey everyone, long time no see
