Hi, just popping into the chog to say a belated Merry Christmas to everyone here. I love your clues, I chat on occasion...but I feel like I sort of know you because I see so many of these names every day. Grannyrose and Peri are the only folks I think I've ever chatted with in the past, and I also realize no one has posted on here for 20 minutes... but, happy after Christmas dinner babbling to all!

Hope you are well and smiling, Kamanjah

Thank you! So, how do we shorten your name? Lol, The B or...Byz

Whatever way you want

Well, either you like to fight or fish (for which you have to make bait)

4:05 am

Nice to meet you, Kamanjah. I have to go as now have a boxing day family get together. Happy babbling everyone!

4:10 am

good morning.

4:18 am

Good morning Ruby! I'm having to run off to bed now though. I'm dozing at the keyboard and hubby is already tucked in. Enjoy the puzzle, and I hope your Christmas was wonderful!

4:18 am

GM Kam

4:19 am

you are up very late!

4:35 am

good morning all

4:43 am

jeez if the ag7/36 is valid, then why not the -ism ?

5:03 am

well hello there my sweet friend. {{hugs}}

5:04 am

Rose! *hugs* I have missed you. How were your family days?

5:05 am

missed you too my darling. i have been so busy but it has been worth it. i haven't stopped since last thursday. just one more day and then onto the bed i go for a whole day. *sigh*

5:06 am

*big hug* I know. we always have to pay a price. But as long as it has been worth it, it is ok, isn't it?

5:07 am

*grins happily* deacon loved his cricket bat and wickets, claudia adored her musical jewel box with the dancing ballerina, and braxton yelled TEDDY and enveloped it in the biggest hug.

5:07 am

awwww too cute!

5:08 am

i eaten waaaay too much food, all delicious. today was amazing. we laughed and laughed all day. such a special time with my siblings their wives and kids.

Morning all! I am feeling very lazy today

5:09 am

morning matty! *hug* Lazy is good.

5:09 am

am so glad you had such a good time with your family, rose

5:09 am

g'day matty. hope your holiday season has been wonderful for you.

Mostly, yes. We had Christmas late dinner with Sarah (my daughter) and Hannah (Jeff's daughter) after both girls had Christmas lunch with their other parent

5:10 am

don simply cannot understand how such a large group of siblings can have so much fun together.

I was VERY cross though - Sarah arrived back here in tears as her dad pretty much ignored her during Christmas lunch - gave her a voucher for Xmas for a shop she doesn't use (honestly, a gift voucher from your dad?!), thus making her feel that she doesn't ever want to spend Christmas in London (she'd rather spend it in Philly with my brother)

5:11 am

lovely matty. sprite have you and your beloved had some quality time together?

5:12 am

omg poor Sarah. What a rotten trick from dad.

5:12 am

matty lovely about your dinner with the girls. not good about the father.

5:12 am

yeah we did, rose, very quiet and relaxed.

But she loved the Pandora bracelet I got her (and other stuff too) and we had a really nice time once Sarah cheered up, and Sarah and Hannah got on really well together

5:13 am

it is something my father could have done. I know how it feels. Please tell her he is not worthy of her company, from me.

Thing is, I'd always given her dad credit for being a good father. I withdraw that line of credit now

5:14 am

I am willing to give him credit for being a real asshole though

5:14 am

it's so sad when parents get it sooo wrong with their kids. i try to buy gifts for don's kids, but we found out that his daughter just chucks everything out, sometimes with the tag still on it.

Hah! Yes. Apparently he only had eyes (and presents) for his new girlfriend

It broke my heart to see her so sad

Though I was hurt when she said this would be the last Christmas with us as she'll never spend it here again - I know she was hurting but I found that stabbed me

5:15 am

we have this deep longing inside ourselves to matter to our parents. Usually that is ok, because they do. But when they don't, it is a life-long hurt.

5:16 am

i know, matty, you just wish you could stop the hurt everytime don't you.

5:16 am

aw matty, sweetie *hugs* She wasn't thinking of you when she said it, but of her father. Apparently she feels so safe with you, she blabs out her pain without filteer.

5:16 am

filter*

5:17 am

Hi all

5:17 am

hiya Liz :) *hugs*

5:18 am

do you know don has not heard from any of his three this christmas? it just breaks my heart, watching him check his emails and his phone for text messages.

5:18 am

Hugs, Sprite - lovely surprise to find you here - you too, Rose, hugs.

5:18 am

hi and hugs lizgirl

5:18 am

so sad, rose. If only we could spare our loved ones that kind of pain, right?

5:19 am

liz i had a nap this afternoon. but almost ready for my pillow now. i popped in the see if i could catch up with sprite. and i scored well. found matty and you.

5:19 am

fireflies

5:19 am

WTG SPRITE!!!!

Well done, Sprite!

5:20 am

Congrats, Sprite

5:20 am

Of course, it's an hour later for you, Rose.

How many gn words are there?

5:20 am

I have one, but haven't listed yet.

5:20 am

only one matty

OK, I have that one then ;)

5:21 am

there are 2 gn words today

5:21 am

ugh, i lie.... there are two gn's

5:21 am

No 2 - I've just found a 2nd

5:21 am

gn 4 and gn 6

Ah - I have the gn6 - I shall look for the four

5:22 am

Strangely, it's the 4 I just found. Irritating little word!

5:22 am

love and hugs to you all. Hope to see you longer soon!

5:22 am

Have a lovely day, Sprite. Hugs

5:22 am

xoxox sprite my dearest. enjoy your day.

Got it - twisty little so and so ;)

Have a great day, Sprite

5:27 am

Good morning, happy Boxing Day

5:28 am

Hi sukee

Morning!

5:28 am

see you all after the next flip. xoxox time for sleep

5:28 am

Hi and bye granny

5:28 am

Sleep well, Rose and hugs to you both.

5:30 am

Boxing Day...strange holiday, but welcomed (although I have to work today)

5:31 am

So, the important question, to Sukee and Matty - but anyone else interested. What did you think of the Doctor Who Special. I just watched it.

I must watch it again as I was distracted last night, but it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. Some funny moments and a couple of touching ones, but very lightweight, mostly

5:32 am

I did, it made me tear up. I loved seeing River.

5:33 am

The Christmas special is often lightweight. I liked the ties it made to other episodes. I like River too - but she could still reappear.

5:33 am

I would like to have seen more of them together, I hope this is not the last.

Dr Who should change her name to Dr Why

5:35 am

Hi TheByz - long time no see, if you're who I think. Hope you are well.

5:35 am

I liked the rapport between Peter Capaldi and Alex Kingston.

5:36 am

Yes, me too. That is why I want to see them together again.

I think I shall rewatch later today when I can devote my full attention to it

5:37 am

So, no more until next August or so...sigh.

5:37 am

The episodes are often better with a 2nd watching.

5:38 am

We'll wait patiently.

5:38 am

gm, everyone! yes, Dr Who was fun to watch last night. you really didn't have to listen hard to understand the doctor. his mutterings were overshadowed by River.

We have Sherlock to look forward to on New Year's Day

5:38 am

Hi lbd

5:39 am

Yes, I want to see that matty.

5:39 am

I loved his joke about the inside of the Tardis being bigger.

5:39 am

Yes Liz, that was hilarious.

5:39 am

hi Liz, sukee and matty!

5:39 am

He was also surprised that the Tardis has a bar too it looked like.

Helllooooo!

5:40 am

Hi lbd.

5:40 am

an 7 - the 2nd one pls?

5:41 am

anyone have the stats for the lone i 5th column fourth row?

If it's the one I think, it's being completely against wrinkles, Liz

5:41 am

ir 4

Face wrinkles - what a facelift provides....

5:41 am

Thanks, Matty

5:41 am

plural the picnic pest + gerund

I have 42 left, I shall have to list, methinks

5:42 am

I'm down to 27 now - about ready to list too.

5:43 am

TY, got both an 7/36

5:43 am

Sorry lbd - wrong stats. I think it's is 8/65

5:46 am

interesting what you can add the gerund to.

5:46 am

Some weird ones - esp the ir 7

5:47 am

is it similar to the ir 7/36?

5:47 am

Which? The is 8 - definitely not.

5:47 am

That is what I meant, ok.

5:52 am

Hi dawg. hows you?

5:58 am

doing well, medusa. having a lovely white X-mas. and playing on my new computer screen.

5:59 am

Nice

5:59 am

Hubz bought me a 27 inch screen. I wanted an 18, but this one will do! :)

6:03 am

Nice, I hooked up my HDMI cable to my TV for a bit yesterday.

6:04 am

this one has an hdmi cable attached. not sure what it does tho. (i'm really in the dark ages with this new technology)

6:05 am

Well, if you have a smart TV you can hook it up and use the TV as a screen.

6:06 am

I find it good for watching my iTunes movies and TV networks online.

6:08 am

I think I must look into this. perhaps this will help us cut out cable.

6:08 am

That is what I was thinking.

6:10 am

Although, some online networks don't let you watch unless you log in with your cable network.

6:11 am

Okay, more than halfway, going to the list.

6:12 am

retirement is on the horizon, and needing to cut out some things like $100. cable bill would be good.

6:12 am

I hear you.

6:12 am

I'd also like to cut the land line but need that for internet access.

6:14 am

8:57 am

It was delicious, but I'm not used to eating that much

8:57 am

But the company was more delicious tan the goose

8:57 am

i have not been eating much myself of late ( stress to the nth degree here ) and my eyes were bigger than my stomach yesterday myself... i understand..if not completely... to a certain degree

8:58 am

And I've known this family since we moved here

8:58 am

well then let them feed you to death... one less thing to worry about... cooking

8:59 am

I've lost _ kg since last year and have only succeeded in adding back one

8:59 am

I only cook for the dogs; the commune delivers lunch 6 days

8:59 am

8:59 am

my mum the same... we have her on steroids to improve appetite.. but she is a stubborn wench and refuses to take meds.. she hid in her room all day yesterday and ignored the fesivities entirely

9:00 am

How old is she?

9:01 am

75...

9:01 am

When my husband was still living here, the stress of our 2 illnesses kept me from eating

9:01 am

she used to be a size 14 she s a 2 now

9:01 am

I'm eating better now, but look ghastly

9:02 am

or even ghostly....

9:02 am

stress stops me from eating... at any rate... i lost weight myself and look and feel healthier for it overall so... silver lining... you can laugh or cry... crying akes too much energy which i have none of to spare

9:04 am

grant I don't understand your clue?

9:04 am

hi carlee

9:07 am

Yeah for dope!

9:07 am

9:08 am

you mentioned that yes... mum will not drink either.. mind if she had the morphine she would not take that too.. stubborn stubborn stubborn..is her means of controlling an uncontrolable situation

9:08 am

hi Bichon Merry Christmas !

9:08 am

haha, bichon, I've been saving that option

9:09 am

but it might improve my appetite; I hadn't thought of that

9:09 am

( mum would never do dope either.. LOL when i smudge that alone brings her to assume I am smoking dope... and it " STINKS" . apparently)

ag 6.24, pls

9:15 am

bichon extend the 4 above it

9:16 am

I was impressed, carlee, but couldn't quite believe my eyes

9:16 am

amongst many things... the final straw was an outing of a babble player who has had difficulties in the past who just wanted a fresh start. She was cruel and ruined that.

9:17 am

I had missed that part

9:17 am

Everyone seems to be outing him on facebook

9:17 am

who?

9:17 am

9:18 am

said the owl

9:18 am

But not that it isn't obvious to everyone any way

9:18 am

bad feeling when you've made a faux pas

9:19 am

I think lots of us are tired of extra identities

or worrying about it

I am sure most here are capable of knowing and recognizing a voice.. babbleland was gracious... just let it ride...

No not for me. He is a total asshole

9:21 am

9:22 am

Thanks though. Wanted to know what prompted such a rude thing

9:22 am

Hi kids. Happy Boxing Day, Carlee!

9:22 am

to put oil on someone to sanctify them

9:22 am

I'm still not sure who you're talking aboyt; I must be here at the wrong times but maybe that's lucky

9:22 am

your decision ruru ... still was my final straw...

9:22 am

Good morning!

9:22 am

Happy Boxing Day scrabs! your bunnies looked happy with their santa carrots!

9:23 am

yes, you were not here ruby. Be glad. You don't need the agita

9:23 am

hello scrabs and aeb

9:23 am

and origami

9:23 am

ty bichon I was spelling that word with two n's which did not work.

9:23 am

hi ruby!

9:23 am

On my final straw i would never call another person that word

9:24 am

Hello all those who do whatever one does on Boxing Day. Not sure what it's like

9:24 am

I don't know what the word was, but I don't really want to know

9:24 am

I once called a male boss the dreaded c word; I ythought he would faint

9:24 am

Uh, oh, I fear that a nasty someone ruined a fresh start for longtime Babbler.

9:24 am

But that is just me.

9:25 am

once again ruru.. your choice, you have to look yourself in the mirror as do I... and I can... we all make choices and live with them and suffer their consequences, I am not immune.

9:25 am

Bichon, left jab, then a right uppercut.

9:25 am

There's always someone who can't leave happy people alone. Maybe it's scdenfreude

9:26 am

He is still making his demeaning comments scrabs. There is no fresh start

9:26 am

but he couldn't fire me and I was in the right

9:26 am

ga 7/44, pls

9:26 am

This is a word game. Let's be kind to one another here.

9:26 am

My point exactly

9:26 am

what time did all this happen (o the babble clock)?

9:26 am

Ignore the meanies. They have their problems.

9:27 am

Some people use it as an oppurtunity to let out their passive aggressive selves

9:27 am

scrabs... I PM'ed you

9:27 am

Just like the trolls--do not feed them.

9:28 am

There are always fresh starts. And outing is unnecessary. I'm often appalled by the self-righteousness here these days, so I stay away from chog. Maybe in 2016, we can all find a way to be kind here. Or even just civil.

9:29 am

Hi Pam, kje, and welki!

9:30 am

hi welki, welcome to the feel good club

9:31 am

reading back - i've also been accused of having more than one babble identify. how ridiculous.

9:31 am

I don't believe someone would accuse you of that

9:31 am

Hi kje, welki

9:31 am

enjoying coffee 2 and just relaxing...

9:32 am

ga 7/44, pls

9:32 am

Hi there Pen! LOL

9:34 am

pen has an open mind :-)

9:34 am

no 6/24 ?

9:34 am

in any case, i have enough to deal with with only one identity - certainly don't need to complicate things with another

9:35 am

Big burp from penquis.

9:35 am

ga 7/44, pls

9:35 am

LOL scrabs!

9:35 am

rolaids, tums, beano? *doing the cigar, cigarette, tiparillo walk with a tray of antacids*

9:35 am

And Pam stated things quite well. Kindness and civility should reign, especially in a word game.

9:36 am

9:36 am

you're right, scrabs - it should, but it doesn't :(

Babble won't take ag6!!

9:38 am

nobody is truly anonymous on the net, scrabs

9:39 am

But it does take to5....

9:39 am

I think if someone is repentant they deserve a second chance and a new start

9:40 am

Well, I choose to ignore rude players but I invariably chat less. Those who chat and accept the rude behaviors enable them. You can ignore the player, or you can confront. Ruru didn't like something and he nicely asked about it. Something to consider.....

9:40 am

That isn't the case here

9:40 am

who has the crazy problem of storing leftovers without the aid of a spare fridge called a garage or a snow drift...?

9:41 am

12:01 pm

i like crabcakes but i love salmon patties

12:01 pm

12:33 pm

YAY

12:34 pm

I was looking at the peacock you made me all those years ago (it was in a small box so saved from the fire). How are you?

12:35 pm

awwwww :) I'm fine! Having Christmas Day today instead of yesterday and looking forward to CHristmas dinner :D

12:35 pm

how are you????

12:37 pm

We are all well, thanks. Had a lovely day yesterday and today just resting. Teaching third grade is lots of fun, but a lot of work, so I am forcing myself to do almost anything but school things this vacation.

12:37 pm

me too, but with work instead of teaching

12:38 pm

:-) work is good -- doing a lot of diving, or is it too cold this time of year?

12:38 pm

still diving, maybe one weekend a month. I did want top spend this morning playing in the rockpools but there was horizontal rain :(

12:39 pm

one of my colleagues at the school just took up scuba a few years ago. love it

12:39 pm

ick. I don't mind rain, but freezing rain when it's pinpricks, or coming sideways isn't so much fun

12:39 pm

best thing ever :) One day I want to dive round Vancouver

12:40 pm

cold diving there

12:40 pm

well, if you do I will come and sit on shore while you dive! We have some interesting critters in the Salish Sea

12:40 pm

same as in scotland :P

12:40 pm

ironic icon, dear ruru

12:40 pm

I bet

12:41 pm

i DIDN'T REALISE UNTIL RECENTLY THAT WE ARE AT THE SAME (oops) latitude as Juneau

12:41 pm

that's me stid.. mr. ironic

12:41 pm

LOL yes, you're a bit NORTH of us!

12:41 pm

but we have the gulf stream to warmus up

12:42 pm

my eyeballs are being weird, ruru -- first read you are mr ironing... (might be the closet-full of ironing I have waiting for me later today)

12:42 pm

does the gulf stream do much for you? or are you on the west coast? I always picture the east coast of Scotland to be rather frigid in temps.

12:42 pm

I use a dry cleaner.. I don't do well with Ironing

12:42 pm

In fact I don't own an iron

12:43 pm

the east coast is a bit colder than the west, but we do still feel the gulf stream. temps are about 9-12C at the moment

12:43 pm

in the water. Whcih I bet they aren't in Juneau!

12:43 pm

ah, smart man! LOL most of my clothes don't need ironing if they are pulled straight from the dryer, but I have a few items. Vanity...

12:44 pm

that's not so bad if you have a dry suit, I guess. I haven't been able to stand the cold waters since my family left the East Coast, so I don't swim any more. When I was very little, though, I swam in the waters here all the time.

12:44 pm

its fine in a dry suit. we just about manage 60 minute dives

12:44 pm

<---likes Caribbean temps better

12:44 pm

<-- me too!

12:45 pm

dinner! be back later!

12:45 pm

12:46 pm

3:52 pm

3:56 pm

3:56 pm

I always have collards and blackeyed peas in some form on NYD. I usually make hoppin' john.

3:56 pm

i have never had black eyes peas and collards on NYD

3:56 pm

It's a southern US thing.

3:57 pm

I have given my bunnies collard greens.

3:57 pm

My mom was from "The South."

3:57 pm

The peas are for good luck and the collards are for wealth.

3:57 pm

I have a nice patch of collards growing now.

3:57 pm

LOL .. I dont even know what collard greens are ( in ontario canada)

3:58 pm

You aren't missing anything...imo

3:58 pm

okie kokie... duly noted

3:58 pm

They are yummy :-) Of course you have to cook them with bacon, onion and chicken broth.

3:59 pm

Or fatback or streak o' lean...

3:59 pm

3:59 pm

Oh yeah.

3:59 pm

4:01 pm

I was born in Atlanta but lived there just a year before my parents moved to New York state.

4:01 pm

and i am further north...

4:01 pm

TY, Bea.

4:02 pm

I think fatback and streak o' lean are more of a country folk thing.

4:03 pm

I find dialects and accents fascinating, especially as I learn Italian and listen to the instructor talk about Bolognese dialect.

4:05 pm

I find the same scrabs... working with six nations.. some words cross over between Nations and others..completely diff... and yet all iroquois...

4:05 pm

I'm a midwesterner living in the south in a rural area. A lot of what these people say only makes sense to them.

4:05 pm

I imagine a foreigner learning English and then trying to understand someone from our South. Yikes.

4:06 pm

mind us canucks have a few "isms" oursleves

4:06 pm

Carlee, I work at the Seneca Nation Health Center one day a week and some families have moved from Six Nations in Ontario.

4:06 pm

My mother was an attorney. When she moved to California she had to take diction lessons. She still never uttered a terminal W in her life.

4:07 pm

I dont know any seneca ..yet.. mohawk and oneida thus far...

4:09 pm

In order for children to get care here the mothers must be Senecas, but some of the fathers are Mohawks, Cayugas, and Oneidas. I enjoy working there and seeing the kids.

4:09 pm

it makes sense scrabs...

4:10 pm

I posted a video a while back of my former students just a sec I will find the link

4:10 pm

The lacrosse teams here play lacrosse teams at Six Nations in Ontario, Onondaga (Syracuse), etc.

4:11 pm

I so enjoy hearing the parents speak Seneca to the kids, and some families speak Seneca and Mohawk.

4:12 pm

http://tinyurl.com/js3enc2 here you go scrabs.. is a fb link though

4:12 pm

oneida from my area have a great lacrosse program

4:15 pm

I am now a member of my local reserve's cultural committee.. bc part of what they want to do is bridge with the city... and also part of what we are doing is language lessons ( which I amstarting in january).. this reserve is chippewa... part of the algonquins

4:16 pm

Nice video so far--cute kids. I have great admiration for indigenous peoples. And Columbus Day must be abolished in the US as it is a joke, as well as rude toward the Native Americans.

4:17 pm

Good for you, Carlee.

4:17 pm

I miss my kids :( love them to bits..

4:18 pm

our thanksgiving up here is not about pilgrims and columbus ( although bc of american media that spills in) ours is about thankfullness of good harvest

4:30 pm

My godmother is FN. She has taught me much over the course of my life and been a mother to me when my own has passed on. Lots to be thankful for this year. :)

4:31 pm

there is a lot to be thnkful for.. even when life seems it is hell in a handbasket...

4:32 pm
