hey crossy :-)
I have been very lax lately in this, so it is now time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! This has been roaming around the net in other places, but it made me smile, so i thought I would share it with you.....
The average person walks 913 miles per year, and drinks 556 glasses or 27.8 gallons of wine per year. This works out to 33 miles per gallon; which is pretty good. :)
hee hee :-)
Back for a few minutes, hi crossy and une

hello ggarrett....
lunchtime?
hey all
hey stiddy!
I am about to dive back into my housekeeping project and decided to check the grid. Is it very rough today?
bonjour chere Une! Comment ca va? Nous somme tres bien aujord'hui
oohhh Stid is tres tres French today!:-)
LOL
oui, je suis en petite vacance (spelling?) I took the day off to get ready for an unplanned but very welcome long-term houseguest who arrives Sunday...
what fun!! ENJOY!!
I am enjoying... Grant has the day off so he is helping pull everything out of my studio to make room for a bed and such. Now "all" I have to do is figure out where to store my art supplies until I have time to really sort (next summer...).
Are you doing well? Still ferrying critters back and forth?
ferrying pups every weekend, yes -- a Brittany girl named Dixie tomorrow and a precious terrier boy named Milo on Sunday :-)
I am so proud to know people like you! Thank you for doing this. It shows so much love that there are people who help like this.
You're the one who deserves major kudos for all the great work you do with the kiddos, Stid!
:-D Takes all kinds to make the world a better place, I guess. I love what I do (and I am not -generally- allergic to kids). I have such an interesting, active group this year. Precisely half boys and half girls (last year 3:2 ratio of girls to boys) so the dynamics are very different.
what age(s)?
third grade They keep me on my toes! Usually I start Monday with a lovely classroom, and by the afternoon it's a disaster again... I'll go in tomorrow and see what the substitute left for me, and then dig in for the last week before vacation. It's always an adventure this time of year.
an adventure I'm sure -- high on sugar and dreams of Santa :-)
exactly
BRB -- need to say hi to the Orkin man . . .
anyway... got that room to muck out. (((hugs))) so lovely to see you.
*poof*
Aw. Sorry to have missed Stid & Une. Just grabbing a quick half hour to chillax & find words. I hope all my Babble friends are well & happy. :-)
slainte, soodle... but I really am heading out after answering a quick call. (((hugs))) hope to see you soon!
((((And you too, Stiddy))))
*waving to all the lurkers*....
*waving back to all lurkers*
Hello Pen & Min :-). Nice to know I am not alone !
You gotta love Min. Firmly entrenched in the old ways, doing the Friday icon theme. : D
I am absolutely gagging with excitement for Christmas! All three Soodle-offspring will be home. Unbelievably, I have all my gift-shopping done, so I am looking forward to a (relatively) stress free Christmas.
cool, Soodle...
Hi Soodle, That is so wonderful. You will have a houseful of happiness!
Lol Diane! I will have a houseful of arguments, bickering & squabbling, but I just love to have them all under my roof together.
So you're saying - not much different than when they lived at home !
Exactly!!! And I miss those days! So bring Christmas on. And, add in my octogenerian mother to the mix.... She could start a fight on her own in a phone booth, so at least I won't have a boring Christmas:-)
Sorry, I stepped away for a minute. You must have a good size home for this brood. What are you planning on cooking?
Oh! Traditional Christmas fare.... Turkey, ham, 4 different types of potatoes (we are Irish!!) brussels sprouts, carrots, prawn cocktail to start & Christmas pudding for dessert. Uninspired, but traditional!
Wow - you could feed an army with all that - it sounds fantastic!
well - the beauty of our Christmas dinner is that the troops can graze on cold cuts for a few days afterwards.... I pull out all the stops on December 25th, then its pot luck for at least 3 days thereafter!
Have you ever made roasted brussels sprouts?
What about you, Diane? Do you celebrate Christmas? If so, what do you do?
afternoon :)
Hiya Jes:-)
Yes, we celebrate Christmas (and Hanukkah). Don't know what we will do this year. We just moved here 6 weeks ago so still getting settled.
love the Christmas Tinner, Soodle!
Diane - i par-boil the sprouts, then toss them in breadcrumbs, and roast them in the oven for about 20 mins.
Sounds good - do you do the same with cauliflower?
Aaaaargh, Jes! If only I could get away with buying 5 tins of Christmas Tinner...... Dec 25th would be so much easier.
heheh. Well, last year, Bruce and I ate poptarts, drank tea, and played video games all day... pretty low maintenance holiday :)
Nope, Diane- I usually boil cauliflower till it's semi-soft, then add a cheese sauce.
I need to come to your house - sounds like good eating over there.
gu 8 anyone?
Wow-wee, Jess! You have nailed it!!
Geek-life for the win :)
gu8...weapon + what you strike to light a fire
thanks, molly!
Babs - gu.... A firearm & the first 5 letters of Fred & Wilma's surname....
thanks...I had tried some compounds, but not the right one
fireworks :)
Well done Jess! I am far too busy pontificating to find words :-)
hah. it's okay, soodle, not many to find, and lots of time yet
fireworks here too!
Congratulations jesdraggon on your fireworks!Good for U!
Congratulations Babs1 on your fireworks display.Way to go
Yay Babs!!! Well done.
Hi soodle!How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.
Hello MollyL! How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log.
Hey, Min:-) how nice to see you.
Hi Min, always nice to see you here. I hope things are going well for you.
Yes, but I had to stay home today to take care of sick dog.
Aw, I hope Jack is feeling better.
And how is he now, Min?
Sick kids, sick pets, sick parents... All hugely worrisome.
He is better. He got his appetite back and ate his dinner.
That's good Min. I know you love your Jack.
He ate something suspicious a few days ago and I think it was affecting him today. He was throwing up a lot.I hope whatever it was he ate is all out of his system now.
I sure do love my Jack. He is the love of my li 4/7 MollyL.
hope jack is better soon.
Hello 72 Temple Owl!How are you doing?Welcome to grid
i am well min, and you?
I'm well. I'm saving my last word for later. Did you finish?
no, i am on my last few
I am here if you need clues. Not a bad grid today though.
no, it isn't. the last few are nearly always the hardest. not much room to maneuver in this one.
FIREWORKS!! VERY EXCELLENT!
Congratulations godthaab on your fireworks!Good for you
Hiya folks.
Hello origami! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.
Hi Min ... I am battling a health issue, but it can be dealt with. How are you?
So sorry to hear that. Good luck. I'm doing doing, thanks.
Oops! I meant to say I am doing well origami. Thank you!
Ha! I figured doing doing was Min talk for doing well :-)
hmm just missing an f5. any ideas?
Depends on which f5 it is
maybe the one that sounds like a journey by plane?
Or it's the other one
I have 8 f 5s.
I was kidding. There are a lot of f5 words. Hard to know what to clue without the second letter.
My guess for the missing f5 is what sounds like when you pass out and need smelling salts, but with a different second letter.
TY Molly, I was missing that one.
Glad that helped. LeslieAnn has asked for a clue and then exited stage left...so we will never know what she was missing.
Yay! Fireworks :-)
Congratulations origami on your fireworks! Hooray for you
TY Min. Anybody want clues before I depart?
Oh, I think people are all set for clues with a grid this small.

I just noticed last month was your 10 year anniversary with Babble, dcseain. Congratulations on a decade with Babble
My anniversary with Babbleland will be next year dcseain.
ten years of babble? wow. didnt know it was alive so long. wow.
oh, wow. yes, last month if i recall. thanks!
and thanks, i got several fishy ones from your story, minver. :) 6 of them.
8 to go. too tired to stay. night all and ty for chatting and cluing.
Ah, Vetarns Day. I was working nights back then. Got to know the EU and AUS crews back then.
sweet dreams, mkg
I just googled "when did playbabble begin". Didn't find an answer yet.I think it has been around for quite some time.
it had been around for at least 3 years when i joined.
Goodbye mkg! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.
Jun and Sep 2004 the earliest join dates among my 'friends" that i've added on here.
Playbabble.com was created on September 25,2003 and it expires September 25, 2016. Let's hope Dr. God renews it.
ojalá/imshallah indeed, minver.
It was also created in Chicago, Illinois. Here is my source: http://whois.domaintools.com/playbabbl\ne.com
chicago makes sense -- that's where dr. god is.
and the server, hence 'grid time' :)
It says it was updated August 27,2015. Not sure how it was updated. Babble never got its much talked about new look
quite so. I was looking forward to that.
but, he has a life, and this is not a huge money-maker.
there has been at least on server migration, but i think that was before August.
rolin is in the grid today :)
ROFL is also in the grid today,but not acceptable of course
go, ENABLE for rejecting an acronym!
sysop -- really.
3 phantom words for me today are flirt,friend and funnier.
I'm finished! I have fireworks!lo6/21 word was my last one
congrats, minver :)
oh, that was unexpected, thanks :)
Thanks dcseain. Couldn't wait any longer.I'm getting tired.
firewords!
Congratulations dcseain on your fireworks! Hooray for you
I was hoping to make it to the flip, but not gonna happen.
Goodnight to all babblers! I will see you when I see you!
