and hi Nan and Peach
Hi there, flosey and nan.
hello gap and flosey

more anxious to finish up and get to bed!!
first part was easy, but struggling now
still haven't found the lone i
is 6
is 6 nana
is 6
finished
of course - ty
congrats, ru :-)
well done ru
ho 6/27?
macca, uses double consonant
ty grannyrose!
fw and off to bed, goodnight all
sweet dreams flosey dear. WTG FLOSEY!!!!
will have to find the last 15 tomorrow -- good night all
i hope you sleep well nan. xoxox
good morning all
*sigh* {{hugs}} and good morning my dearest friend. how was your night?
hi sweetie, what's with the sigh? *hugs* right back and thank you for your lovely email. Made me feel better! Yeah well, night is best forgotten, lol. Better luck next time.
picked it like a nose....knew your night would be lousy. big sigh is because i have finally started the laundry.
aw good job! And even a better job on pacing yourself. I know it is not easy. Yeah you had it right, about the night. But today is almost free... only shopping and cooking. I will take a nap this afternoon.
have managed to strip and remake bed with fresh li5, did only a little bit of folding and sorting, showered and dressed, washed my hair.
more than enough for one day. Yay you!
btw, did i tell you don gave me a blackberry phone for christmas. i have been having fun working out how to use it... lolll i have a weird idea of fun.
lol... have come to a screaching halt at 42 in... that cannot be good.
oh wow! That is awesome, rose. Isn't that a smartphone? We can play words with friends together then.
ugh.... sprite...it's a phone... when i am more happy with the wretched thing maybe.
our telcom is changing it's service to 4G which means 2G is to be closed, with 3G not to far away.
hehehe this will make you happy with it. You could ask Don to put it on the phone for you... with easy access... and then we can play scrabble, and exchange chat messages, for free :)
yeah??? i like the sound of that. but like i said still learning my way around it. i am such a techno phobic.
just take your time. I am not going anywhere, lol, you will be able to connect with me whenever you are ready. Oh, if you have wifi in the house, we could even talk for free, through whatsapp. :D
oh and I hear you about the phone stuff. When I started on this phone, I really had no idea what I was doing. The kids had a ball with me messing around and yelling at the thing.
lolll i bet. only don here for me to scream at.
at first, the thing did all kind of stuff I didn't want. I was trying to get acquainted with the touch screen stuff and it drove me bananas. Now, I cannot understand what made it so hard for me.
yeah, i am realising i need to play with it more.
here's an idea: ask Don to put Whatsapp and Word Feud on it. You can practise on me then.
halfway. Ughhh slow going today
writing them down now. i didn't think it was too tough. although i did run out of poop with about 10 to go. so near, and yet so far
you're smarter than me. I am having trouble today.
*giggles* Running out of poop, I love the expression
i'm not surprised with the night you have had. xoxox
hm true, that might be it.
so... that will make this a lickety day for me. *opens list with 48 left* Must be some kind of record
poor you!!
nah it's all good. Working the list is something I hardly ever do, so I am gonna enjoy it. It is a different way of playing babble.
you are such a snappy player usually. i think you really need that nap.
lol I think so too. Am already feeling droopy here. If I were to lie down now, I'd sleep.
*tucks up sprite's bits* there dear is that better?
oh much better! Can you lift my girls too, please? Now that you are at it?
and upper eyelids, if it isn't too much too ask...
*drives in crane lift* coochy coochy goo.
that should do the trick :D
*rolls out the 3 inch duct tape* this works every time....lolll
and so charming too
hope you don't mind a permanent stare dear
nah, of course not. I will let my mouth hang open a bit. People will think I am daft and underestimate me.
you weren't planning on combing your hair again any time soon, were you? it's a little tricky with the duct tape running from your forehead to your neack.
hm ok, that could be a problem. Perhaps we should shave it off first.
*giggles*
mind you if i pull your hair back hard enough into a ponytail, that also works. you may look a little oriental though.
lololll
*giggling like an schoolgirl*
does wonders for me, our giggles
good. my job here is done.
it actually energizes me. Right after babble I will go get the groceries, and then prepare dessert. Easy dinner tonight (soup and bread and a snack) but I will make mango pudding from scratch.
*hugs rose* You are the best friend, you know.
oooh nice. makes my pickled pork and salad look ordinary. but we are having fresh cherries and greek yoghurt for afters.
sounds delish, rose
awww thanx spritey. you are so welcome my dear.
:)
10 left. Yay for lickety
whoot sprite. and yes, yay for lickety.
fireflies. Quite a chewy grid, I liked it.
a big *hug* for you, dear friend. Thanks for being there, and for validating my feelings too. I feel lots better.
WTG SPRITE!!!! i hope your day just gets better and better. xoxox
Rime
Hello fellow babblers :-) Does anyone have a clue for the NO 6/24 please?
Morning Zooz - nope, sorry, I don't have it yet. I'll look with you if you like
Many thanks, Matty :-)
It should be nomime - a complete objection to people in whiteface pretending to be locked in an invisible glass box
The no6/24 ends with the suffix that denotes religion
LOL
Thank you, Molly. Looking...
Got it now, Molly - thanks!
Well that was easier than I thought it was going to be. Thanks once again, Molly :-)
Has anyone the or5/12? I must be blind - I keep trying the same things and they *still* don't work ;)

thanks...got it
Garbanzos are sexual?
Well, they look like little tiny...never mind...
ðŸ˜
Why am I craving tea right now?
what is that strange symbol?
What strange symbol?
can I get a clue for the NO 6 please - and thank you.
it's a happy face - the one ruru posted
it looks like a rectanlw with a grid of 12 dots or so
Oh that, you can't use those emoticons here. The typeface is too small.
i see it on line when people use cellphones to post.
jin, you see a happy face?
it looks like a laughing face
Depending on what device you are using, it might not show up as a smiling face. Outlook smile faces show up as a J in other email formats.
definitely rectangular. interesting.
no 6 ends with the suffix for theory
It is showing up as a smile face for me, but a small, hard to see one. If I copy it and paste it in a word document, I can see it better. I have seen people use emoticons here that look like this = and when I copy and paste them elsewhere, they are two hands clapping or two beer mugs toasting
Hi there Bea
Hi, Molly.
someone pls remind me that a crappy day cannot be made better with cookies. please.
Sure it can, chocolate too.
:)
If it's a really crappy day, I suggest you just start drinking heavily.
i think a walk is in order. it is dreary here. NOw THERE you go!
time to break out the christmas bottle.
Cookies make any day better....
So agree<3
:)
<---agrees on the cookies
:)
hey hi
i have seven kinds here.
maybe more
I'll be right over. :0
what kinds did you bake?
i baked pa dutch light ginger; tassies; olive oil sea salt brownie, and almond raspberry shortbread.
hego, that would be doable :)
i usually bake at least 6 varieties.
what are tassies? i have snickerdoodles, lemon, chocolate with mint kisses, chocolate with creme de menthe bits, oatmeal, oatmeal with craisins, oatmeal with raisins, and oatmeal with M&Ms.
whats a craisin?
dried cranberries - like raisins in texture
why do you not then call them cranberries? that's what we do :P
i need an oatmeal cookie recipe. soft, but not using shortening
you English are so funny in your language :D
tassies are nut tartlets.
calling cranberries cranberries? Outrageous :D
ah, care package for ata, coming right up! ;)
i guess to distinguish the regular, fresh cranberries, from the dried cranberries
A cranberry and a craisin are two different things. Just like a raisin and a grape are two different things.
a craisin is a patially dried cranberry and a raisin is a partially dried grape
craisin is a trademark name from Ocean Spray
ahhhh so really its just americans being brand crazy :P
but whatever they are - or are not - I like using them in the cookies
Yes, that's us, the brand crazy, gun toting Americans.
Teach, craisins are very good in oatmeal cookies.
yes, i have a whole bunch of them right here to enjoy - both oatmeal with raisins and oatmeal with craisins
sounds delicious!
** finito ** last word EO 6/19
woohoo wv!
yay teach! bravo!
are they soft oatmeal?
now I want to know what soft oatmeal is! :P
Is there such a thing as hard Oatmeal?
lol the texture. cookies can be crunchy, chewy, or both.
its like hard lemonade
i wish.
I would think soft oatmeal is kinda mushy
sorry.. that comment went against the grain a little bit
just porridge
you lot need to learn to speak english :P
agreed :P :P
:D
well.. any country that would have a dish called spotted dick isn't that far up on speaking English :D
note the fact its a yummy english pudding and the language is also called english :P
well.. here if you have spotted dick .. you'd better be on antibiotics :D
if they still work
true that
at least we don't have fanny packs
Hiya!
Ha ha. I'll trade you a fanny pack for some sticky toffee pudding.
no!! LOL
I know. Hardly a fair trade.
don't you have sticky toffee pudding?
Well, in some places. Hard to come by - most people can't make it properly.
once there was ice cream in that flavor.
horror!!
This is the land of milk and honey, not sticky toffee pudding.
hmmmm. while milk and honey are good things, STP is better
I must agree.
I asked earlier for a clue for NO 6 - can someone dumb it down for me. I have a fanny pack if you want. ;)
Wish I had it, Jin.
hmmm hard to clue. no + consonant + religion ending
Ah. That's the ticket.
I'll just take the fanny
sorry thats a rubbish clue!
ruru - it's all yours
lol! Off I go to the evening commute. Later, kids!
Got it! thank you Atal
can I get a clue for either (or both) OR words
or5 - type of sea shell, uses the french word for sea or6 - a type of prayer
Thank you.
one left - FE 6/27 (the second one). hints? clues? suggestions?
never mind - fw!
hi folks
apparently its scottish .... fe + cons + not truth
well done!
enjoy the rest of day everyone.
hi welk
mmmm ... sticky toffee pudding, now i want some :)
bye jin
:D
doesn't look too complicated, only thing i'm missing is heavy cream. probably a good thing :D
somehow i imagine its tasting like a fig newton.
good thing Canada also has shops then :D
trying to think if I can think of a US flavour equivalent
like a caramel lava cake, only better
I get confused over US vs UK caramel
that sounds interesting. i thought figs were involved, thinking of figgy pudding i guess
oh no, its sponge pudding with this amazing rich toffee / caramel sauce
like a christmas or plum pudding? that has the consistency of a lava cake, enough alike for a description, no?
dates - dates in sticky toffee pudding
I don't know what a lava cake is!!
(and puddings are steamed cakes, right?)
just accept its one of the most delicious things on earth, TO!
hahaha - whatever it is, i like it
a diabetic's dream - or nightmare :)
steamed CAKE? WHAT IS A STEAMED CAKE??!! LOL :D
work phone call - brb
geez louise, two countries divided by a common language
mad, isnt it!
ata, i bought a faux fur hat today but do not like the light color. wondering what i can do with spray paint to make it spotted like animal fur.
wh6, please?
that sounds fun adn adventurous!
lol i wish i had the artistic ability to make it work.
marc, wh4/10 + i love him ** much
I think you'd have to find a very fine spray, but I don't know if such things exist
thanks
back - faux fur, polyester?
i do not think fabric paint would work . i guess the worst thing would it would end up all black
you can buy dye for synthetics, if that's up your alley
the lining is acetate. it is a pillbox type hat.
hmmm - i wonder if you can spot-dye it
ton of stuff on google, even dying faux fur with a sharpie!
i think water and acetate do not mix, so the dyeing is off the table. must see how it holds up, many of them do not stay on the head if it is stormy and windy.
ah, that is for the artists among us!
it probably looks pretty the way it is, a nice contrast against your dark hair
odd color. a light pinky beige.
hello....
no6, pls?
gotta go - talk with you later.
a city in alaska, no*e + ending for a belief
bye
got it thanks
well i got my list down to 30.....gotta do a few things...bb soon....
welki...wanted to let you know my grandson is better and they got to take him home yesterday. Thank you for your prayers.
that's good news, phae - thanks for the update. so glad to hear he's home where he belongs :)
Me too.
do they live far from you?
yes...I live in NE Michigan and they live in Vegas
oh, that rots. i live far from my kids, too
That's not as my daughter, who lives in Japan
*as bad
The other daughter just moved from Michigan to Wisconsin
My kids have abandoned me...lol
I also have grandkids in Oregon.
makes the visits sweet, though :)
but not often, :-(
I only get to see the daughter in Japan about every four years.
do you skype or face time?
no...mostly FB. My internet connection is not real good, and don't have a smart-phone. And the time difference is a pain.
ah...ok....
we do both - in fact, waiting for a skype from one of the grandkids now :)
I skype the ones in oregon and end up talking to their step-mom more than them...lol
she sent a box full of presents and a card; it arrived today (mailed dec 15th!) - i want to open everything with her watching. she's 9
sounds fun welki!
that's great...
done
Take care and happy babbling
congrats!
ty
do you need clues pen?
it's usually the other way around, so yes, you're right - fun! i'm guessing that it's all made from the birthday presents i sent her early in the month. i sent a watercolor set, she's really pretty artistic for one so young. and musical, too! i got her started with a ukelele and now she's got a guitar and is taking lessons for both
how nice.
i love them all :)
the grandkids, the kids...
:-)...gotta go feed the old man. hage
bye phae...
you, too
i am done...
heading out....g'nite all...
(peeking in to see if anyone's there)
