Some of it makes sense when you think of Clara "the impossible girl"

5:37 am

Hi bich, it is the act of being hostile.

Actually, I thought it was a little derivative. And it had so many 'nods' to oldwho - the thing is, they get a bit over done. And making Clara so damned important was just a little much for me - yet another reset button - no-one ever stays dead with Moffett!

But hey, that's just me :) I'm glad you liked it

5:38 am

Yes, I was wondering if she was really dead.

5:38 am

ty sukee

5:39 am

Hope it helped.

5:39 am

I am also curious as to who is going to be the next companion. Hopefully not the Viking girl :)

Anyone yet found the em5/14 (I am sure I shall kick myself)

5:40 am

so now there are two tardis' tardii, flying boxes out there.

5:40 am

And I was excited to see who is back in the Christmas special.

According to Moffett, it won't be anyone we 'know' - but who knows - he fibs sometimes

5:40 am

Yep.

5:41 am

Took me too long to figure out it was not Clara who had lost her memory. :)

5:41 am

I still can't find th eEM

I have two left - that EM and the te6/21...

em + when sally *** harry

5:42 am

Thank you!

Thank you muchly!

5:43 am

good morning all

5:43 am

Hi Sprite.

5:44 am

hi sukee *hug* How are you today?

5:44 am

Doing well, how about you?

5:44 am

Still two boxes away from nbt.

5:44 am

Make that 3

5:45 am

hiya, sprite!

Can anyone put us out of our misery with the te6?

5:45 am

mwah... spent most of the night in the bathroom, and when I finally slept, I overslept. Half the day gone now and no energy for getting active. Guess I am gonna call this a sick day.

5:45 am

ty, cosmo for the em5

5:45 am

hiya dawg :)

5:45 am

Sorry, I'm not there yet.

5:45 am

hi matty and cosmo

Morning!

5:45 am

Oh, sorry to hear that sprite.

hello

5:46 am

oh dear, sorry to read that you are unwell, sprite.

5:47 am

it is no biggie, just a rather uncomfortable night. Once again after eating chicken. I think I will lay off the chicken for now, lol

5:47 am

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate

5:47 am

likewise, Molly

5:48 am

good morning

5:48 am

hiya Annie :)

5:49 am

hi there spritey, glad you are feeling a bit better

5:49 am

ah, I found the TE 6/21. Is that the one you need?

Both me and my OH are looking for this stubborn TE6, no joy...(sorry to hear you had a bad night, Sprite)

It is, Sukee!

5:50 am

thanks :)

5:50 am

TE + misspelling of fertile soil of clay

5:51 am

thanks sukee

Thank you Sukee - I'm sure I tried every other possible combination except that one. Fireworks :)

5:51 am

*Puts a little Hanukkah gift by Annie's place at the table*

5:51 am

5:54 am

Chag Urim Sameach, Annie

We're off to Kingston's German Christmas market this afternoon, so I shall wish you all a good day and peaceful Hannukah

5:55 am

bye matty, are you getting a tree today?

5:55 am

to you too, matty

5:55 am

Sprite, What does that men?

5:56 am

Or mean?

Probably not - I'm *hoping* we can have a real tree this year, as Jeff's fake one is looking a bit...tired (and I like real trees) but we only have a small flat and small real trees often look quite naff (as they tend to be bushy at the bottom and naked at the top

5:57 am

it means a happy celebration of lights

5:57 am

naff? I will tuck that word away. I already like it.

5:58 am

I love it when people Google search Hebrew : D

5:58 am

whooo hoooo Matty!! hi annie, hi Molly

5:58 am

Oh Sprite, How Lovely~!

5:58 am

Ah - naff not a common word in the US (I lose track, having been in the UK for so long)

6:00 am

Your Yewish friends are the Pagan tree lovers : D

6:00 am

Thanks dawg

6:00 am

Never heard that word ( naff)

6:01 am

6:02 am

Thanks, Molly :) Like the icon.

*hugs Liz* Happy Chanukah to you and your beloved

6:03 am

*puts out a platter of potato latkes. sour cream and appleside on the sideboard

6:03 am

Thanks, Sprite - just back from a bar mitzvah and chanukah celebrations.

6:03 am

Happy Hanukah, Liz

6:03 am

6:03 am

6:03 am

6:04 am

Happy Chanukah, Liz!

6:04 am

Thanks, lbd

6:04 am

Actually back an hour ago but first priority was to watch Doctor Who!!!

6:05 am

as it should be :) Was it good?

6:05 am

Boo Hiss - doctor who before babble? :)

6:05 am

Yes, we thought it was very good. Clever twist.

6:05 am

always such a pleasure

6:08 am

Tough grid. Left myself 17 to find before we went out. Have only found 2 more so far.

6:09 am

yeah it isn't easy for me either

6:11 am

tadone!! this was not an easy grid.

6:11 am

wtg dawg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:11 am

Congrats!! dawg

6:11 am

Congrats, lbd

6:13 am

will hang around for cluing and chatting

6:14 am

did my ecard reach you, Liz?

6:14 am

Not yet, sprite

6:15 am

Ah just now - back in a minute. Need to check it out.

6:16 am

first time I used this site, wondered if it worked

6:16 am

Really lovely - thanks. It worked really well.

6:16 am

I've used the site before.

6:16 am

Mmm, latkes and sour cream. Annie, you inspired me. I just added latkes to the breakfast menu.

6:17 am

Never had latkes with sour cream. Interesting idea.

6:17 am

am glad :)

6:17 am

*just sat down at Molly's table*

6:17 am

I miss all the free e cards that used to be on Hallmark and American greetings.

6:18 am

haven't had latkes in ages.

6:18 am

I haven't had them since last year :)

6:18 am

Molly, That is a beautiful Menorah/

6:18 am

Will probably have them sometime during the week.

6:18 am

A dollop of sour cream and a few chopped green onions is a nice presentation for latkes.

6:19 am

Definitely sounds good.

6:19 am

Molly has some Jewish blood in her veins.

6:19 am

Annie, I would love to have an old fashioned silver Menorah like that

6:19 am

Followed by doughnuts. Got to love a celebration that focusses on oily food :)

6:20 am

my grandparents had several. Of course, they are all gone now, my father not willing to give any of them to me or my sister.

6:20 am

Molly, Come down th Hester Street on the Lower East Side. There are stores that have them. Just gorgeous.

6:20 am

I wish I could get that sort of thing here - perhaps in Melbourne but not here.

6:21 am

internet might be a possibility, Liz

6:22 am

It only took me 7 years to work out that the best way to store Chanukah candles is in the fridge! They burnt really well this year.

6:22 am

oh, smart thinking

6:22 am

Yes, Sprite. i do use the internet when I want to buy anything like that. There are a number of stores here that sell over the internet.

6:23 am

But still, it's much better actually seeing what you want to buy.

6:23 am

yeah and more fun

6:24 am

I guess it was so easy in London - like I was saying about traditional jewish deli food.

6:25 am

the price of living in paradise, Liz ;)

6:25 am

I think I'll stick with paradise :)

6:25 am

I keep seeing melon and squid. Not a great combination, I think

6:25 am

Perhaps lemon and squid would be better?

6:26 am

that might work

6:28 am

fo 6/30 pls?

6:28 am

enemy guys, Liz

6:29 am

Have that one - didn't realise there were 2 of them. The 2nd one pls?

6:29 am

Thanks.

6:30 am

yvw :)

6:30 am

I'd tried that ending with just about every other combination!

6:30 am

lol I know the feeling

6:31 am

That's taken it down to 10. I'll leave it there for tonight - got some Facebook stuff I need to do before I head to bed. Have a good day everyone and again, Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate.

6:31 am

bye Liz, *hugs* to you both

6:31 am

Hugs, Sprite and look after yourself today.

6:32 am

will do!

6:32 am

sweet dreams, Liz

6:36 am

I can't have rugalah.. it has nuts

11:01 am

thanks though

11:02 am

but you can have the opposite - arugala - pretty sure it has no nuts

11:04 am

I love arugula

11:04 am

I eat it all the time

11:08 am

Does all rugalah have nuts?

11:09 am

geez.. I don't know.. the ones I've seen do have nuts

11:10 am

In this "nut free" world we live in, I would imagine you can find it without nuts.

11:10 am

love your menorah icon molly

11:13 am

finished this ugly little grid :D

11:15 am

good for you

11:15 am

*Puts on sunglasses to deflect all the "blondness"

11:23 am

fo 6/30, pls

11:24 am

Actually, had my hair re-booted yesterday. Now sporting what I like to call the "salted caramel" look.

11:25 am

*note to self.. dip Judi in chocolate*

11:25 am

*giggles*

11:25 am

Wow, the salted caramel trendy phrase has even leaked into hair color?

11:26 am

I love caramel..

11:26 am

It might be my favorite sweet treat

11:27 am

I think the stylist called it "toasted blonde" or some such. It's just less bleachy that it was. Some brownish low lights.

11:27 am

oh.. all you'd have to do is get blond and then drink a lot for the same effect judi

11:28 am

*smacks forehead* If I wasn't blonde, I would have known that.

11:28 am

duh-oh

11:29 am

I heard a funny blond joke

11:29 am

the other day.. I don't think I can write it here though

11:30 am

lol. Too bad. I'm sure it wouldn't offend my sensibilities, but you never know who might be lurking.

11:30 am

yes.... (trying to tow the line)

11:31 am

toe?

11:31 am

That would be toe, yes.

11:31 am

11:32 am

If it's winter, then you would snow the line.

11:32 am

In water... row the line.

11:32 am

if you were Keith Richards you would blow the line

11:32 am

While flying... crow the line. Shall I continue?

11:33 am

Doing cocaine...blow the line

11:33 am

:D

11:33 am

(beat molly to the joke)

11:35 am

Oh well, I'm slow on the uptake today. Putting up holiday decorations. Not my favorite pastime.

11:35 am

ah.. but you love the results

11:36 am

Better than snorting glitter up your nose, Molly. Hubby and I saw some cool projections lights to get for the exterior homestead. No stringing up the lights this year!

11:36 am

I bet your place is very Christmas-y

11:36 am

Sort of. Christmas stresses me out as money is tight and that takes most of the fun out of the season.

11:36 am

yeah.. I bet

11:38 am

one of my neighbors has a gigantic display of lights and such.. it's totally overkill

11:38 am

On Kings Street, about a block and a half from the river, on the North Side of the street.

4:25 pm

it's still there.

4:25 pm

i used to visit a friend there and we'd spend the day (and far too much money)at the torpedo factory, having lunch and walkingaround the shops

4:25 pm

er, King Street LOL

4:25 pm

Hi OWl

4:26 pm

we have a second art space now, the Workhouse Art Center in Lorton, VA. Like the Torpedo Factory, but in former prison.

4:26 pm

Last year I had been snowshoeing and XC-skiing for 2 weeks already. No snow yet except transiently.

4:27 pm

yay El niño /sarcasm

4:27 pm

brb - phone

4:28 pm

I am just glad we didn't have an entire month of extreme cold last month... our weather this year has been "normal" so far.

4:28 pm

also, today commemorates the shootings at L'École Polytechnique de Montreal.

4:29 pm

glad to hear, stid. How yall doing for water/precipitation?

4:29 pm

not bad, the snowpack is increasing and a couple spots are already open! Last year most areas didn't open until late this month or January. And they all closed really early.

4:30 pm

glad to hear that.

4:31 pm

How do you like your new digs? Seems the cats settled in quickly.

4:31 pm

best move ever emotionally, for me and the cats.

4:31 pm

tight space, still unpacking and organizing.

4:32 pm

So glad you are there! Unpacking might take a while... we have been home for 1.5 years and still there are boxes and boxes and boxes.

4:32 pm

i got home about 4AM to Smokey Quartz playing with the orange tabby kitten called Baby Kitty.

4:33 pm

currently, i'm looking for things to store in the attic -- cat carries, a file cabinet and who knows what else.

4:33 pm

what fun!

4:38 pm

I think our attic space is pretty well filled now... mostly Matthew's things. He is supposed to finish college this month, and hopefully find a job (and a place of his own). Then we'll have more space for MY junk!

4:39 pm

any clue for the en6 ?

4:39 pm

good luck with that, stid.

4:40 pm

I think it means an undying hatred for someone, ouwachita

4:40 pm

en 6/27 (just found it).

4:42 pm

Hi Stid and Ou

4:42 pm

well, need to toddle off...

4:42 pm

monkey typed it myself

4:42 pm

be well, stid

4:42 pm

HA! knew if I thought about leaving scrabs would re-enter.

4:43 pm

hey stid, ouwachita

4:43 pm

I am on call and keep getting paged. Sick season is no fun.

4:43 pm

((((scrabs)))) hope you are well. Will pop back in soon. Love you. **leaves heaps of choclits for babblers** *poof*

4:43 pm

was really a skype session - one of the grandkids had a birthday and i wanted to watch her open her presents :)

4:45 pm

ugh - and now the laundry needs folding. later, folks

4:45 pm

(((welki too)))

4:45 pm

I will do laundry in a bit.

4:46 pm

Hello!

4:46 pm

Buona sera, mia amica!

4:46 pm

Hiya Scrabs!

scrabbler, what can cause blotchy skin, cold sweat, feeling of weakness? There was vomiting later.

4:47 pm

Ouch!

4:48 pm

hello...

4:48 pm

Hi Penq

4:49 pm

hi hego...

4:49 pm

Low blood sugar, dehydration...

4:49 pm

Hi penquis

4:49 pm

hi scrabs...

i felt the person should seek immediate attention but they resisted.

4:51 pm

....heart attack...

4:52 pm

dire

ty that was what i was afraid of. but hours later saying feeling better.

4:52 pm

you are right, TO, they really should hit up an Emergency Department just to be safe.

dehydration was a real possibility.

4:57 pm

How old is the person?

nearly 70

4:59 pm

An evaluation in the ER is definitely needed.

said feeling better now. i was frightened because my dad had belly pain before his heart attack.

5:01 pm

Indigestion, vague symptoms...what was this person doing when the symptoms hit? Any exertion?

no. but again, could very well have been dehydrated.

5:03 pm

But what would have caused the dehydration?

alcohol

and,in typical old person fashion, not enough liquids

5:06 pm

Well, they are responsible for their own health.

you are 100% right, ty

i saw so many people overindulging, but those things happen at holiday parties

5:08 pm

If there is free alcohol people lose control and the bad behavior ensues. It is awful to witness.

5:09 pm

Ethanol is a legal drug that causes much suffering, pain, and death.

it is for some, not for all, that's the rub

5:17 pm

Yep TO. Not everyone abuses alcohol.

i had a close friend once who was alcoholic. it seemed so unfair to my then young self.

5:23 pm

Well, bad choices lead to bad consequences.

not a choice for them, until they realize and accept and want to change

5:27 pm

It is a choice for each of us.

5:28 pm

Looks askance at his glass of champagne

hey ru. could not find that rose exactly as you recommenced. BTW LOL

5:30 pm

lol Hi ru

what a nasty little piece of work this grid is

5:30 pm

Whether or not alcoholism is a disease is a matter for debate. Many people in the medical community do not believe that.

5:30 pm

Damn. I will see if there are other locations for you

5:31 pm

I have a measly 26 words and wonder why I am still working on this grid.

5:31 pm

It's a terrible grid.

unfortunately, i wa in DE this weekend and forget the store name. thought very helpful, i don't think the hospitality of the DE welcome center extends to finding wine retailer.

5:33 pm

Why not? :0

it is ok, i just will being something else to tuesday's gathering.

5:33 pm

What are welcome centers for?

5:34 pm

I still have 8 blank boxes, Hego. I still keep popping back here, but it is to see my buddies.

they once printed my directions to a personal residence. then another time they just ignored me. dpends on who is there

5:34 pm

I have a bunch too.

5:58 pm

5:58 pm

5:58 pm

Oh, Dan, I have found just 27, I don't know why I keep returning.
