12:35 am

ruru, what is the hazelnut dessert they served called? do you know?

12:35 am

baklava

12:36 am

no, that's honey, butter, pastry, and a mix of nuts. this was like a very crumbly nougat

12:37 am

Halva?

12:37 am

whatever it was, it sounds delish!

12:37 am

souvlaki?

12:37 am

i think you nailed it, liz. thanx

12:37 am

np :)

12:37 am

that usually has chocolate

12:37 am

* giggling* ruru you are silly

12:38 am

halvah is sesame based, I think

12:38 am

and can have choc

12:38 am

souvlaki is shish ka bob...

12:38 am

and also hi all

12:38 am

Hi jbp

12:38 am

havla is more like a cake though

12:38 am

it's sort of difficult to describe the flavour. if it's chocolate, it must be a different sort to what i am used to eating.

12:39 am

Can make halva with hazelnuts too, I think.

12:39 am

halvah is awful.. but it is fort of a crumbly nougat thing.. but isn't it yiddish type stuff?

12:39 am

halvah is nothing like a cake

12:39 am

g'day jb p

12:39 am

I've seen it with chocolate but mostly without. It's middle eastern but like jbp said, not a cake but more like crumbly nougat.

12:40 am

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia\n/commons/thumb/2/2e/UnHelvasi.jpg/200p\nx-UnHelvasi.jpg

12:40 am

it can be a pudding or a flatish cake too

12:40 am

does that look like what you mean, granny

12:40 am

right up there on hte list with marzipan.... icky!

12:40 am

I can't eat nuts anyways

12:41 am

great, now I have a craving for halvah.

12:41 am

and tahini

12:41 am

I also avoid nuts but always found it too sweet anyway.

12:41 am

1:55 am

sweetie, insomnia, no matter what the cause, is the pits.

1:58 am

it's driving me crazy and completely ruining my life. I feel like I have no control over it... when I finally do get to the restful sleep, I sleep so ddeply, I don't hear alarms... just sleep until they stop..then I wake to a groggy haze that doesn't lift for hours... frustrating.

3:01 am

lovely day here sprite. just the most perfect spring day ever. and how are you sweetie?

3:02 am

am ok. Slept ok, bowels still restless but stomach is calm.

3:02 am

kate, a pint glass of wine is not recommended... *giggle*

3:02 am

lol... going to sleep very soon sprite... much cooler now for the next few days... good sleeping weather!

3:03 am

then go to bed, silly kate! Make use of that weather and catch up with sleeping!

3:03 am

rose..... are you certain??????

3:03 am

wellll... maybe in your case....

3:04 am

oh wait, that is the case of wine you are drinking, isn't it?

3:05 am

actually, since I usually swill red wine... the glass may actually hold a pint if filled... lovely large bowled wine stem... gathers the bouquet nicely...

3:05 am

all in one glass.... or do you have a very long straw??

3:05 am

LOLOLOL

3:05 am

ummm, kate, over here swill = guzzle

3:06 am

yes, forced to drink plonk as Rumpole would say....

3:06 am

at least she is open about it

3:07 am

:D

3:07 am

don't about kate being open, but the bottle of wine certainly is.

3:08 am

I see the bottle... but where is the wine... oh right

3:08 am

lol... I have graduated form bottles to boxes.... 4 L casks in plastic bladders..keeps the air out and much cheaper to buy.. and way easier to return for deposit refund, rather than drag a bunch of bottles back to redeem..

3:09 am

*revises image from Kate ladylike drinking from a glass to kate lying under the tap and guzzling*

3:10 am

oh, gosh!! do you rip the box open towards the end in order to squeeze every last drop out. i do !!!

3:10 am

my icon used to be same, but with wine glass rather than choclits...

3:11 am

yes Rose.... you can always get one more glasss out that way... Sprite... still lady-like, jsut improverished...

3:14 am

sprite... never guzzle wine, it is untoward and oh so common as dirt....sip in a ldylike fashion... just sip often nad take a glug once in a while when no one is looking ;)

3:16 am

yeah yeah, right, sure, hm-mm. *glances again at kate lying under the wine tape* Guess a funnel wouldn't go amiss though.

3:18 am

for the record.. I do not own one of those baseball caps that you load up with a couple bottles/cans.. that have straws from the recepticles to the mouth... just sayin'... Me is high class, ain't no cheap sherry swiller...

3:18 am

and a bib under her chin for the drips she misses....

3:19 am

bib? Make it a full sheet...

3:20 am

MISS DRIPS?????? MOI? IMPOSSIBLE!

3:20 am

*giggles* Kate is a drip seeking missile

3:20 am

<---- does not dribble under any circumstances....

3:21 am

yeah, true that, kate. with a mouth that big... oops!! did that come out aloud??

3:21 am

ROFL...

3:22 am

well, you ladies have amused me muchly.. so muchly that I poured another spot of wine...

3:23 am

right... as if you need us to make you do that, grin

3:23 am

KATE!!!! that's not a spot, it's the whole polka-dot enchilda

3:25 am

< giggle >

3:27 am

got a very silly movie on tv now - "see pot run" in it is the very young version of the boy from two and a half men and the guy that played John Coffey in The Green Mile....and more than a few iother familliar faces...enjoying the silliness

3:27 am

half the guys from the sopranos are in here too...

3:27 am

a good laugh should induce a sleepy head.

3:28 am

quite the opposite unfortunately, rose... but it is over in 30 minutes...

3:29 am

you should at least be a little more relaxed, anyway. what time are you up in the morning?

3:29 am

I am tired.. I think I will sign off now... curl up for the end of the trashy movie...of course, it features a dog...and it's not too slapstick...

3:30 am

morning???? what is this morning you speak of?

3:30 am

have fun, Kate, and sleep well and cool

3:30 am

sweet dreams, dear. *is there an echo in here? i seem to remember saying those words before? *

3:31 am

with luck, I will be up at 11.... the heat really played havoc with my sleep cycle so it will take a while to get back to a more normal rhythm...

3:31 am

must have been someone else rose.. you are definitely NOT going senile...

3:31 am

sure, blame the heat. And not the movie and the wine.

3:32 am

LOLOLLLLLL, kate

3:33 am

the heat of the last 3 weeks killed me... couldn't sleep until the early morning because it was way too hot/humis... now my body is used to it.. must slowly get pattern altered.

3:33 am

fireflies. Easypease again today

3:34 am

Congratulations spritey!!!!

Take the Ai5 before it and add 'no ands, ifs ** buts'

I'll swap you for a clue for the he6/36?

(AL, I meant, of course)

The he6/36 is my last word....

4:52 am

he3 a spell cast + number before two ;-)

4:56 am

Good morning my babble friends:)

4:56 am

hey crossy ;-)

4:57 am

How is Une this fine morn?

Thank you kindly - that's fireworks for me

4:57 am

4:58 am

Just coming up to 06:00 am on my day off... I must be insane:)

5:06 am

back with coffee and Babble's back -- apparently had a "brief tantrum" :-)

5:07 am

we're having Crossy weather right now -- a nice respite from the heat and humidity -- all across TN in the 40s last nite -- wow!

5:08 am

won't last long but great while it's here!

5:09 am

Nice Une. Since you are such a good soul to animals, I won't send you to the PB for a double violation. : D

5:10 am

congrats, matty

5:11 am

oh, my, Molly!

5:11 am

oohhh i see the caffeine violation LOL

5:12 am

I had to laugh when "grid" was in the grid yesterday. I figured that would send dozens of people to the PB

5:13 am

wow -- i never find long words but just found the ex8 -- woohoo! :-)

5:13 am

thought the same thing as soon as I saw "grid" :-)

5:13 am

Are you doing an early transport today, Une?

5:14 am

yes, transporting an older German Shorthaired Pointer who's headed to an approved adopter in Asheville NC -- her name is Lacey and all of yesterday's drivers said she's a real love :-)

5:15 am

My sister lives near Asheville. Pretty country. It should be a nice ride for you.

5:15 am

transported a mixed bag of 4 yesterday -- all very sweet :-)

5:16 am

pretty country indeed -- my daughter did her undergrad studies in Boone and my mom and I made a couple of trips to Asheville :-)

5:17 am

The word huzzah always makes me think of the Loyal Order Of The Water Buffalo on The Flintstones.

7:45 am

8:03 am

hello everybody

8:04 am

hello ruby

8:06 am

We are very Lucky with our weather; it's cool at night and in the 70's in the afternoon

8:07 am

And there are still many roses and other flowers even with their neglected summer

8:07 am

okay, I must admit defeat. I cannot find the fo7 to save my life. help please?

8:08 am

It starts like a golf call, then use the first letter again, then finish with "not begin"

8:08 am

very nice clue, thank you

8:08 am

god bless you, molly. I was STUCK on using the fo6 previous

8:09 am

The only way I found it was by looking at the score. I figured it had to have both F's in it

8:09 am

I still find nothing from the lower f

8:09 am

im not good at that. the way it doubles and triples boggles me

8:09 am

the lower f is a fe5

8:10 am

got it, ty trif

8:11 am

thanks to chrisk, who clued it for me earlier!

8:11 am

I'm trying to knock out the TO DO list before football starts. As it is, I may end up ironing while watching.

8:12 am

that's the only way I can get through ironing - by doing something else at the same time

8:19 am

It truly is the most boring chore I do

8:21 am

Mr. Bich does all the ironing in this house. I am not to be trusted

8:23 am

Wow, a man who irons. That is a thing of beauty.

8:23 am

I used to have a boss who ironed. But that was only because his wife refused to do it. She was a bit of a princess.

8:25 am

I really don't mind ironing so much. vacuuming is the one I would outsource....

8:37 am

and right now I would happily outsource finding these last twenty words....

8:43 am

we just don't iron... we embrace the wrinkles as we embrace the cat hair

8:44 am

Embrace the hairy wrinkledness!!!

8:45 am

name that proper noun! ms. keller

8:48 am

Helen

8:48 am

ding ding ding!

8:48 am

Hurshy, have you settled in? New job?

8:48 am

i am not quite done settling in

8:49 am

i have a part time job and hopefully soon will get going on the things for starting the master's degree

8:50 am

In what subject?

8:50 am

elementary ed

8:50 am

Nice!

8:50 am

How are your niece and nephew doing?

8:51 am

good. started 1st and 3rd grade this week.

8:52 am

Being challenged enough? I recall them both being quite bright.

8:53 am

they are going to a really excellent small private school that lets kids move at their own pace and explore their interests

8:54 am

Great. I enjoy talking with parents of bright kids and discovering what they are doing to enrich their kids' education, as elementary schools often do not.

8:55 am

this place is so great, they also make sure they are paying attention to emotional/social development. if a teacher is abrupt with the kids, she'll then apologize, discuss with them how they felt, etc etc.

8:55 am

there is an emphasis on respecting each child as a person

8:56 am

Fascinating.

8:56 am

but like not in a spoiling them way, or letting them be the boss

8:56 am

Education on emotions (recognition, verbal expression, healthy choices) is essential in childhood.

stats for the 7s please

8:57 am

8:57 am

"Perpetual toddlerhood syndrome" is rampant.

9:00 am

scrabbler, does food poisoning range from mild to severe? or is it only ever bad enough that you're like, yeah, definitely something is seriously wrong here?

9:02 am

my friend recently had an intestinal virus....she thought it was food poisoning but it did not go away...

9:02 am

Yes, wide range. But typically there is intense vomiting and diarrhea, often bloody diarrhea. Salmonella passes. E. coli can cause bloody diarrhea and one strain can cause kidney failure.

9:02 am

Hello Maine Girl.

9:03 am

We see Campylobacter diarrhea in the dairy farm kids.

9:03 am

i just wondered because friday night thru last night i was having just stomach discomfort, which i almost vomited but pepto helped, but also i was unusually irritable and anxious. i don't know if the two things were related. no possibility of pregnancy, so idk what to think it might have been.

9:04 am

the stomach seems to be ok now - we'll see how irritable i am after my husband wakes up, haha

9:06 am

Get a probiotic supplement.

9:08 am

sorry, don't understand

9:10 am

9:10 am

9:10 am

9:35 am

I have to be game doc at the football game on your second night.

9:36 am

Do you enjoy that?

9:40 am

Well, I am a cultural anthropologist (I observe people) so it is fascinating to see the gladiator mentality of football coaches and players, the cheerleader mentality (barf), the parents, and the crowd.

9:40 am

I enjoy sports medicine and orthopedics, but football is violent and aggressive.

9:40 am

Yes, humans are fascinating.

9:41 am

I agree Scrabs.

9:41 am

All I see is heads being banged and bodies being bruised.

9:41 am

It hurts me to watch.

9:44 am

Testosterone surges and then aggression escalates.

9:44 am

yup

9:44 am

woot! hego - you're trekking up to scrabbler's neck of the woods? you've been there before, right?

9:44 am

Hi Welki

9:45 am

Yes, but not for many years and always on business.

9:45 am

This will be a pleasure trip.

9:46 am

when are you going? in time for the colors?

9:47 am

beginning of Oct. Not sure about the colors.

9:47 am

Bring your passport to cross into Ontario. The Falls are better seen fromt he Canadian side.

9:47 am

The colors will be at peak or close to it!

9:48 am

Thank you for reminding me about that. I had forgotten.

9:48 am

Scrabs, that's great!

9:48 am

i miss the fall colors - here, the leaves go from green to yellow to the ground in a matter of two or three weeks

9:48 am

I have an enhanced NYS license plate, not a passport.

9:49 am

I have the passport card.

9:53 am

Soon I will send you info for your trip--where to visit, where to cross into Canada (there are 3 bridges), and where to eat.

9:53 am

Thank you so much.

9:54 am

And now I must get on with my day.

9:54 am

Have a good one and thank you.

9:55 am

Hello Babblers :)

9:55 am

Hi Elegant!

9:55 am

Good to see you!

9:56 am

Thanks, nice to see you as well.

9:56 am

Is it cold where you are?

9:57 am

A bit chilly, yes. But I find it comfortable.

9:58 am

You're used to cooler weather.

10:00 am

Yes, the winters can be bitter cold. Summers can be very hot.

10:03 am

Most go now. bbl Bye

10:04 am

Take care.

10:15 am

Good morning, all! Ah, another micro grid.

10:19 am

Hi Judi. Yep, speedy Sunday grid.

10:19 am

Ha! Just found the 8. Might as well hang it up now.

10:20 am

And the co6. All is well.

10:21 am

Hiya, Molls. Yes the leaves are starting to turn here too. A bit early for us.

10:23 am

I am a tree person and I know which leaves turn first. Usually the ones that sprout first (logic of nature). I don't get worried about a bad winter unless they all turn and drop by November 1.

10:25 am

I don't know if an early leaf drop is indicative of a particularly harsh winter. Could just be extra windy - like today. We are surrounded by trees, so we get buried in leaves.

10:27 am

Some days I would just like to light a match and get rid of them the easy way. The neighbors might take exception though.

10:28 am

People used to rake and burn leaves all the time, when we were kids. Then that nasty EPA said it was contributing to poor air quality. Personally, I love the smell of burning leaves.

10:29 am

Early leaf drop has less to do with wind and more to do with the trees preparing for the cold months. But that is kind of a Pagan idea that not many people subscribe to.

10:29 am

come out to lake county then molly.. you'd be in heaven

10:30 am

I don't think I would like the smell of constant wild fires. The destruction of nature out your way makes me sad.

10:31 am

hello...clue for the al7 pls

10:31 am

me too.. it's pretty brutal. 4 years of drought..I think they're saying the whole town of Middletown will be gone by the end of the day

10:32 am

I'm sold. How long can I stay with you, Ru?

10:33 am

all you want judi

10:33 am

Friends help friends with their grammar. How sweet.

10:33 am

Whoo hoo! Freeloading and drinking wine! Now there's a job I can call a career.

10:33 am

people with a good sense of humor are always welcome at my house

10:34 am

Ignore me. Just checking Images!

10:34 am

Sorry, PHae. Don't have the Al7 yet.

10:35 am

*politely ignores Patxxx*

10:35 am

Pat? are you related to Lynxxx

10:35 am

Hello, Patxxx. We shall not ignore you. We will insist you chat with us.

10:36 am

Be warned, Patxxx. Ruru is automatically drawn to anything that contains "XXX".

10:36 am

*will now call judi ... judixxx from here on out*

10:36 am

Meeee-yow!

10:36 am

LOL

10:37 am

I'll have it tatooed on the back of my neck like Vin Diesel.

10:37 am

Hi all. Still no change on image. Not related to Lynxxx.

10:37 am

ah darn.. the xxx's had me fooled

10:38 am

I see a bunch of cats. Cats seem to be the predominant icon image here in Babbleland.

10:39 am

I should have known better than to say 'ignore me'. I really should have said 'Excuse me I am just messing about trying to change my Image'. May I ask if it takes time to make the changeover?

10:39 am

Enjoyed reading your rant, Patxxx. We are of a like mind in many things.

10:39 am

Molly, Why can't I see a bunch of cats then?

10:39 am

It's already changed, you just have to refresh.

10:40 am

I see cats, Pat. Refresh your screen a few times.

10:41 am

I see the pussies

10:41 am

did you have a litter?

10:43 am

found it...

10:44 am

Share, please, Phae?

10:44 am

al 7 sounds like mrs roosevelt

10:45 am

Thank you I have refreshed as instructed and have now got a bunch of cats. The cats belong to my grandson's family. They had 6 but one died. I have two cats, 1 male, 1 female and related to each other but between them they create the havoc of 10 whilst fighting each other!. They frighten my lovely Labrador to death.

10:46 am

I can wait to have a Labrador..

10:46 am

can't that is

10:46 am

I have many permanent white scratch scars. WHY? Well my kids drove me mad but it's life isn't it?

10:46 am

I've put in an application to adopt one from a rescue organization

10:46 am

white scratch scars?

10:47 am

Ty, Pat. Got two from that clue.

10:48 am

I never had kids so what's my excuse ?

10:48 am

Ruru, it's difficult to get hold of Labs from Rescue Centres isn't it? I suppose it's because they are such easy dogs to live with as well as being quite expensive.

10:49 am

it has been a bit of a challenge ..yes

10:49 am

They are popular as service dogs as well. Hmm. Having said that, I can picture Ru trying to train the dog to use a corkscrew.

10:49 am

my neighbors have one and I just love her to pieces. she's one of the nicest, sweetest dogs I've ever met and smart as a human being

10:49 am

Judi - clue?

10:50 am

Sorry. Ruru gave me the AL7 clue.

10:50 am

<---ruruxxxxx

10:51 am

What. Ev. Er.

10:51 am

Don't mock, my Lab has held me up a couple of times. As for using a corkscrew, it is well known that anything that goes into a Lab's mouth doesn't come back!

10:52 am

Labs are champion dogs.

10:53 am

almost football time.

10:54 am

Sorry Judi, this is why I don't chat much. It scrambles my brain and ALL my clues then get entered into the chatlog!

10:55 am

I'm here mostly for the chat

10:55 am

saw a dog recently I fell in love with afghan poodle cross covered in scruffy blonde curls

10:56 am

that and all the personalities that come and go

10:56 am

afghan poodle sounds odd to me deeha

10:57 am

do they call them affadoodles?

10:57 am

Sounds like a very tall dog.

10:57 am

It sounded odd to me! Not entirely sure I agree with these hybrids but she was big and gorgeous! I could have grabbed her and run off with her!

10:59 am

well.. if we read about any dog-napping in England we'll know you were successful

11:00 am

My middle name is Creulla Da Ville!!!!

11:01 am

except - obviously- I wouldn't turn her into a fur coat!!!

11:01 am

11:09 am

Hello everyone

11:09 am

etwee

11:10 am

I know what I just did so sorry.

11:10 am

*there are those free clues patxxx was talking about* :D

11:10 am

ty!

11:10 am

and very grateful I am too

11:10 am

thanks, pat :)

11:11 am

People here love free clues. Then they don't have to find words on their own. Every clue is sacred.

11:12 am

I suppose we must split into two camps (at least), those who can chat and clue and those who can't do both.

11:13 am

lol Pat I( did the same myself the other day with a 9 letter word I cant clue and chat at rhe same time either!!

11:15 am

nbt

11:15 am

can you guys walk and chew gum at the same time :D

11:16 am

Lovely photo Deeha.

11:19 am

Ruru I can't chew gum for long, I swallow it automatically. Does that answer your question?

11:19 am

lol

11:19 am

ok.. yes

11:19 am

lu 5/24, pls

11:19 am

Deeha's picture is very big

11:20 am

that was me as a kid too pat.. I used to swallow it.. couldn't help it

11:21 am

gu 4/13 is a great word...say it all the time to my kids. Don't give me any gu4!

11:27 am

Had to take a kitty play time break.

11:28 am

Swallowing gum will make your appendix explode.

11:28 am

LU + double consonant + vowel

11:29 am

LU 4/11, 5/24 and 6/42 are all pretty much the same

11:29 am

I wasn't allowed gum as a child so never got used to having it permanently in my mouth. That could be it, I suppose!

11:30 am

he6 please?

11:30 am

Fireworks!

11:30 am

Congrats!

11:30 am

yay judi!

11:30 am

anyone want to deal with my moody 12YO boy today? I don't

11:31 am

Stats please for the single F in the forth column and the Lower left G?

11:31 am

Ha. No thanks,car. Tell him he's acting like a moody 12 YO girl. That will make him feel better.

11:31 am

nevermind. firewords :)

11:32 am

Congrats!

11:32 am

Better yet, send him over to friends house.

11:32 am

tried that

11:33 am

He always wants his friends here. I'm on day 2 of a migraine...not interested in having anyone else here.

11:33 am

Fortunately, I think that gum is a foodstuff and if it was dangerous to the constitution, in any way, it would be banned! However, not all people agree.

11:34 am

Gum is for chewing. It is not digestible. It just passes right through (if you're lucky).

11:35 am

Off I go to putter through some chores. Tomorrow, peeps! *POOF*

11:35 am

HAGD

11:35 am

Already swallowed it, will let you know. OR NOT?

11:40 am

Ah football Sundays of years ago. All my son's friends came over to watch the games and I cooked for them most of the day. Miss that a lot. I loved having the neighbor hoods in my house for football.

11:41 am

I wouldn't mind at all if I was up to it and hubby was here. Too much for me to handle with a headache and my mom too.

11:42 am

I can't do anything when I have a migraine

11:43 am

Today is the second day...just the phantom pain leftover

11:44 am

I'm going to watch some football.. see you guys later

11:48 am

Fireworks

11:48 am

HAGD everyone

2:44 pm

hello everyone ..... if there is anyone about, or all of you watching football!!!

2:48 pm

oh well! I will go and do something more exiting than Football .... bye all.

2:52 pm

"Exciting" is a relative term

3:50 pm

Well the sea chickens exited alright.

4:03 pm

As expected, The Redskins started out big and fizzled out. I thought I was going to lose my mind if the announcers said "Ndamukong Suh" one more time. He is all they could talk about.

4:04 pm

Sorry about desean

4:06 pm

Desean or no Desean, this is once again a team with no cohesiveness. I think they will limp through yet another season.

4:07 pm

Yes. They have a crappy owner...an incompetent coach..and have mortgaged their future for RG 3

4:08 pm

Agreed on all points. I can only hope The Broncos stomp Baltimore. So far, that game is pretty flat, though.

4:28 pm

hello 66o to go
