quiet for a flip...
Clues are up
i remember the days when there would be crowds at the flip, people rushing to be the first to post in chat after the flip...
FLIP! Hi everyone!
Thanks lickety.
that's more like it kim
thanks Lickety
Thanks Lickety!!!
Thanks Lickety!!!
hey, who knew you could ou7 and not just in6 a tab into a slot...
sorry, watching dr who so missed flip... (((HURSHY!!!!)))
which episode stid? hello!
Hi all and thanks, Lickety
It's the episode where they are underwater and there are ghosts -- a two-parter from last season. Part of the "Dr's Notes" set where tidbits of interesting things are captioned in.
hey liz! hey all! :-D
ah, not my favorites from the season but not bad :)
Hi stid - a good episode from what I remember. Not the best but good.
aha, liz and i concur
for the life of me i cannot see how to make something come from that corner O!
That's how I felt -- I was not a fan of this one, but I do enjoy watching how the show was put together.
That's always interesting.
i think the overall reaction to it was better than what we three are saying - perhaps men liked it more than women?
think trees for that o
oaks...
nope
i know nope
I have the willow - but not from that o
just doing the whole stream of consciousness thing
ea 9/10
os 7 -- has to do with bones
woohoo i was THINKING bones!
ea 9 x 2
thank you ARB
yw
Thanks from me too.
i started watching "Anzac Girls" tonight. very very good.
aha got those ea's
nbt/nbs
WTG Diz
go grannie go! I am still hung up looking for the os 7
I tried to spell the os 7 with an extra e in it, Stid - if that helps.
and the ending is a latin plural
the thesis kind, not the stadium or radius or florae
o dear i really meant to be consistent there
thanks liz and hurshy *thinking*
:-D got it!
thesis is a greek word, not latin
WTG, stid
dang it all, and greek is the language i actually TOOK classes in. how fast it all slips out of the brain.
hello, all . . . mi7 :-)
the cell splitting?
oh, already called?
Thanks, hurshy
no i just forget to call things
and then i was curious if we had same one
:-)
name that proper noun! a british royal dynasty
tudor
a fine dynasty, but not found in the grid
oops not there
lol
stuart
ding ding ding!
:-)
My 22-year-old son says "While the world burns, we find words."
hello everyone
hee hee
hey nan
ah, but we didn't start the fire. it was always burning, since the world's been turning.
hey nan, hey douglas
and if finding words didn't keep us out of trouble, who knows what fires we MIGHT set.
howdy stid :-)
There. NBT and ready to sleep, methinks. Have a lovely weekend, all. (((bonsoir, chere Une!)))
Frank is laughing out loud
gnite stid
Sleep well, Stid

phantom derriere

I know Hurshy -- I was trying to extend it.
ah
there are 2 de8 tho

ea8, so8, and tr8 are the others
just so they are all there neatly :)
tx LOL
the non skin one is closer to what ARB wanted
ANd I only had the singular of one. Ty Hurshy
ah, rhymes with the wheel :-)
rather stuck with 10 left
getting stuck and just passed the half way mark
anyone have the other U besides the cow part?

er4/4
er4/4
phantom: resist
ty hurshy

yeah, 9's and 10 all ea
nope
The er4/4 is often clued in crossword puzzles as "Once, once"
oh, sorry!!!
ty
ah - the plural - ty
nbt, nbs
FIVE to go!
impressive, hursh!
"Darth Vader is in the grid, but I sense good in him." "Hmf! A maroon you are!"
a maroon? i'd ruther have a macaroon
well, i think it's time for a peek at the list
it's like the last bit of tinsel...
argh how did i miss those d's. see you always end up feeling fishy!!!!!!

WTG FLOSEY!!!
flosey, infusion day tomorrow. this time even my feet hurt.
oh well. i hope she sleeps well tonight. xoxox
Morning all - can someone give me a clue on the os7/28 please (the lone in the lower right corner)
ou* on the town ... gobi sahara are de****s
Thanks byz - and I didn't have that (so thank you!) but I'm after the OS7... :)
os7 anyone? Please?
OS + digits on your feet but put a plural in the digit part.
os7..... os+ to6/18 - a consonant
Well there are two plurals. one on the end.
That was really bad cluing. sorry.
It worked for me, Zooz - thanks. Now nbt/nbs.
Armtoe = fingers ?
help with ea10 pls. I have an ea8 and ea9
What you see from the moon, Peri - here on earth we get the moon**** and sun****....
9 and then plural for 10
ty matty
Does anyone have stats for any 8 besides the ea8/45?
not me
wait, so8, tr8 and de8x2 from early chat
but I don't have any of them
Ta. I shall probably shower (it's a lazy Sunday, don't judge me) before searching for those. Jeff has man flu so it won't be a thrilling Sunday.
Oh, got the tr8.
and cooee and g'day from me....lolll
Morning! I am now showered and dressed - Jeff's still in bed feeling rather poorly (man flu - nothing serious)
I've 64 left and see the list in my near future
good morning all
Morning Sprite. How goes this gloomy morning?
all good here. Got a slow day planned and looking forward to it. Just laundry. How are you?
About the same. Should be a quiet one here as Jeff's poorly. I have been driven out of the living room - we live in a flat with thin walls and next door's kids are...loud
so unpleasant, noise pollution :(
It's not entirely their fault - thin walls, 2 small girls
yeah kids that age are loud sometimes.
At least their stereo isn't on. They're from Afghanistan and have taste in music that reflects that. It's not my taste in music, however
I hope they keep it limited to daylight hours
Ermmm...not as such. In all fairness, we're still not large on the daylight here, though it's swiftly increasing
Occasionally, if they have it blasting, Jeff plays his pennywhistle as loudly as possible to make the point
yeah same here. Sorry your neighbours don't get the message yet
I'm missing a Z. I have he 4/9 meaning lust for life and its comparative and the pimples - can you tell me what I"m missing?
ok, so more st****ed is not st****ier?
not yet, I am afraid, I just got 64 words in. Will help you look though
stuffed?
ah, found it. Like the to4 coin babblet. Zo4/9
matty. zo4/9.
no st**** as in being tense and overburdened
*snuggles into sprite* HELLO MY DARLING. XOXOX
*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, come here, you need a big hug. One more night until the infusion, right?
i hav e been waiting and waiting... lovely to see you sweetie.
yup, darling. and my feet hurt. :-(
and I, you. Sorry to be so late. Tim had friends over last night and I stayed up too late. Indulged in taking it slow this morning.
sweetheart,..it is all good.
*gentle cool hands on the feet* I am so glad you will find relief tomorrow.
i simply cannot wait... but i will...
time for adjustments to the regime, rose. One week earlier for this infusion.
Hi Rose. Thanks for the zo
i tried so hard to pull weeds and prune the roses...
matty. dearest. you are very welcome.
I hope you have already ordered your new stool, rose. Gardening gives you so much joy, you should have all the help you can get to make it possible.
i hear you sprite. visiting the gardening store on the weekend.
*hugs rose* You are a brave one, you know that, don't you?
*grin* i know it because you recognise it. and you know how obstinate i am...
yeah well, obstinacy is a good thing, taken in moderation. Without it, you wouldn't have made it this far. As long as you try to not let it work against you :D (yeah, been there, done that, still doing it too often...)
church today was very nice. my vicar was very concerned how last monday went. she is the most ut!!!
the most ut?
utmost....
my darling is right here beside me, sprite.
ohhh ok, sorry. Your vicar sounds like a wonderful woman.
give him a hug from me
she is so incredible. there was a house fire today. she was down to the street where it was...saying...is there anything i can do?...i am here to support if i am needed.
she is the real thing. Gives one back some faith in organised religion.
it so does sprite. it is so difficult to recognise help where it is needed.
well, am looking forward to meeting her, some day when I come and visit you guys
*putting the monies aside*
sweetheart, if I had more money, I'd have been visiting you already. Who knows, if the nail thing is gonna work out, I will be able to save up
*grin* between us we will make it hap;pen.
so we will :D
fireflies. Nice and smooth
wtg
WTG SP;RITE!!!~!
You're so much faster than I am. I've just gone to the list with 51 left
sending you healing vibes to help you through the night, rose. Take care. *hugs* and lots of love.
XOXOX Mtty
Have a lovely day, Sprite
Have been playing a bit longer, matty :) *hugs* and enjoy your slow day.
xox sprite.
Good morning all.
Greetings Sukee
Good morning!
*dragging my butt**
Today is the first day that feels like spring. YAY
Hi matty and ruby, and rose :)
It is nice here too, the snow is all gone and it's 2C.
cooee sukee
It was warm enough in the sun for me to cut down some "winter weeds" which were smothering the tulips and daffs
((rosie))
It's gloomy here but mild (about 13C)
{{ruby}}
I don't know the temp here, matty, but it'sw probably not that different from yours except maybe in the sun
Sun would be nice, sadly not to be here. But then, I *do* live in England. On purpose.
We haven't had much, either, but the winter had less snow, more rain, than usual
Hope you are well and smiling, Ruby.
Hello Byz, yes, smiling this AM. Nothing hurts
That is great.
I hate vowel words. I have the os4 and the os7 but struggling to find the 5 and 6 between them
I have the os 5/10 and 6/18
od5/14
a willow and/or a twig from the willow
I have the OD and OU, sorry - it's just those two OS I'm looking for the 5 and the 6 to finish off the vowels
don't have the ou....:(
Found them - never mind!!
I don't have the os 7 though :)
The OU5 is pretty straight forward. The OS7 I had to have clued. The OU7 uses the ou4 but with a slightly unexpected ending
OU4, sorry
It's an ou4/5, not an ou5.
got it, ty
Ah, monkied the ou 7
ty
One word left if anyone cares to give me a steer - the si6/18, please?

we are all awake now but you lol
thank you welki...im SCARLET

feh. it's not like you accidentally posted porn.
MISS SCARLET MISS SCARLET!
hahahah welki! we were just talking about porn....things not to say to alex trebek in the chitty chat portion of jeopardy..."well, alex, I have starred in over 30 adult films..."
8--->
CAR!!!!
car is getting a cuppa
hahaha!!! finish the exchange: Alex: Trif, I understand you have an interesting collection
Yes, alex, I have made plaster casts of the penises of everyone I have ever met. Looking forward to seeing you backstage after the taping....
not home in the sahara de****
Alex: Something happened recently that you say changed your life, Trif. Tell us what happened.
I had an orgasm lasting over six minutes alex. I really have to thank you....and your wife.
thank you byz
And now on to Double Jeopardy :)
I can hear the music now
you're friggin' hilarious, trif :)
"funny, Alex, that is what your son calls it.....
can you even imagine? just totally totally NOT okay
if i couldn't imagine it, it wouldn't be half as funny!!
Really?
mind you, a woman two weeks ago said "I am named after my mother's cat!" jesus. I would rather say i did porn than THAT
Now THAT's a chat thread you don't see every day...
yes, i remember that lady, trif. i'd hope i could come up with something just a little more intriguing
poor thing....
we aim to please, JBs
I was just waiting for the follow up question= "and I understand you are single?"
hi jb
I almost snorted my cuppa tea, which would be a shame, I just opened a new box of Bewleys, mmmmmmmm
Interesting what you walk into in babble chat :)
ohhhhhh bewleys....haven't been there in YEARS
good lord, I go to walk to the dog and come back to THIS!?!?! Trif...get dressed...we are going to church.
Hi, Trif (still laughing), welki, MLF, car, crossy, and lurkers
hi cross
Hello JBS, Crossy, et al
If i do make it on the show, I PROMISE I will work the word "babble" into conversation - a tip of the hat to all my beloveds
Right, crossy? Trif might be on something, she had a cryptic message she posted several times. I think she was channeling Prince in his symbolic days.
so the HBO as the world turns time to leave
lmao
the babbler formerly known as Prince
it is no good, car; the Lord cannot salvage this :)
But as long as she attempts it....
not going to happen this morning car....the hair alone! I look like I went backwards through a hedge
Trif, I think they would would cut off your microphone before they let you "babble!"
phantom: estuaries .. Happy Sunday, Babblers
hahahaha...thinking of Top Secret scene....
hahahaha
Hi Aloy
hello aloy!
<still working to erase the mental concept of Trebek and porn used in the same context>
are you really going? it is in 15 minutes, right?
and still quietly LOLing
no...the thought of those pews is making me tear up
picture him at the opera, jbs, that oughta do it
okay
naked?
oh for gods sake car! I was TRYING to elevate!
LOLOLOLOL
Alek goes to the opera naked?
you ain't no Molly Brown! Sink with the ship woman
hahhah
im dying
I remember Richard Dawson. Now there was a man who could grope and tongue his way into a different show rating. if they tried to run his shows today, there would be lawsuits lol
OMG crossy! Too funny!
Oh, Lord, here we go again! Another round of No, No, Please Don't Let Us Go There!
grope and tongue? good lord!
hahahaha!
Sorry JBs...this is an E ticket ride
i'll take total perversion for 1000 alex....
Spanking me lightly for 500...
Darn, gotta go, I actually am going to church :) Gotta cleanse my mind :) HAGD, Babblers!
HAGD
tell god I say hi, please jbs?
lol, i better go get a tea..
Don't talk with your mouth full for $200
cost WAY more than 500 to go THERE crossy!
Pray for us all
yes, pray for us. if I tried to open the church door today, the electric charge would blast me back into the parking lot
I'll catch you my dear
I have not found a new word since I went through the first time...better focus
105 words left at the moment.. brb
I have 67 to go here
because you have been too busy picturing alex naked, you saucy minx
When fantasizing of men naked, I have to say, he is low on my list if there at all
I know, right?????
There is something about him that is appealing, but then he sounds so pompous
crossy, is it time for "trifioso's lame homeowner question of the day?"
go ahead, trif
... like when he corrects french pronounciations
hello again
"Oh no, I'm sorry. That is not the right spot. You are now in the minus column.:
I need to add a threshold under the door between my kitchen and garage, to cut down on freezing air blowing in. Kitchen floor is tile, door is steel. Is it okay to just glue the threshold down and caulk it well, or MUST I get special tile screws and all that
car did you start last night?
no
drill pilot holes and screw it down
you are better at this then I am
ugh, was afraid of that. where would i be, and where would my house be, without you, darling crossy?
Oh, it depends on the day MLF. Babble is an equalizer
drilling pilot holes will ensure you do not crack your tile
thank you as always
(trif))
car it is?
I think so. we all start the same way
Generally, Trif the toughest, most irritating, most time consuming way of doing any minor home repair is usually the right way :)
car yes by finding words
greeeat. eye roll
and make sure you test fit it before you drill
after you spent a while doing it the wrong way cross?
lol
The only way that i have ever learned to do something is to do it wring many time beforehand
please, this whole chat is guaranteeing that threshold will sit there untouched for months
bbl, duty calls/ 49 yet to find, poof
wrong*
it will be fine, trif
my husband put a bookshelf together once. a kit from a store said it wouldn't take that long to fit together. it took him 8hrs and a lot of "words" if you get what I mean:)
hagd
a universal truth I learned in gardening: if you can't pull it out without a backhoe, its a weed. If it comes right out of the ground at first touch, it's the plant you wanted to grow
cross that is the only way:)
trif LOL
Love me some Mozart...'
I had one miracle today already; boneless, skinless chicken breasts were going for a dollar each at the local grocer!!
sweeeeet!
what a WIN crossy!
We will be eating chicken for a month ;)
that would make a great sandwich cross
I am thinking of tasty stir-frys
that sounds good cross
crossy, do all your college papers have to be written APA style?
pasta with a mushroom cream sauce with slivers of chicken throughout
yes, all in APA
its the biggest PITA ever. I hate it. HATE it
cross you can keep the mushroom sauce
Alle the colleges and Unis around here use APA exclusivly
i forgot to indent the second line of my references last paper, and the prof took ten points off. TEN
yes, tab/indent every subsequent line
A good reference page can make or break your paper
NOW you tell me! lol
I actually enjoy making them :) I am weird
Ill send you all mine then, and you can go to town
if you wish, send the urls or book titles and i will brew it up for you
that wouldnt be so cricket...I must learn to do it myself. but thanks
i can advise then ;)
im a big one for standing on my own.....
after 20 years of mr hate telling me constantly that I couldn't do anything, would break everything, I "didn't need something else to fail at" being independent and finding my own footing is HUGE
poor valentine has to be SO patient with me....I refuse to let him pay for ANYTHING and sometimes he gets a bit frustrated..."cant I take my girlfriend out once in a while?" ah, the male ego is a fragile thing.....but then so is mine, lol
That UBC paper i sent you is invaluable and is my go-to when i do not wish to spend my life wading through owl Purdue
you bless me. ah, the purdue owl.....know that little bugger well. I did finally FINALLY find the APA manual....
You college kids have a language all your own now
;)
car, it is insane. i have spent two days making up a essay, and 5 days making a reference page for it.
yeah you are speaking Chinese to me lol
I used to spend a lot of time at Owl Purdue.
May I ask you something...in the grand scheme of life and practical every day use, it is THAT important?
Then I found the reference section of Word
i just pick a university that has a good APA pamphlet, redshoes :)
So brilliant, made me wish I still had to write papers
hi red
i am not being facetious (?sp), I really want to know how it translates into actual life skill
I use the Word reference generator as well
not even remotely car. but it's the standard format they picked, and it will be the death of us all
Crossy, isn't it beautiful?
But why would they have you spend your time on something like that instead of "skills"
APA is a heartless, evil bitch from which there is no escape..
I don't get ti
*it
i appreciate that there has to be some uniformity across academia, but ugh. to lose ten points over it frosted me arse.
thank you crossy! could not agree more.
i know it. over something so petty as indents
my husband is wearing a hat took food and I don't mean a chef's hat lol
Well, I am certainly glad I do not have to interact with that heartless bitch
hahahaha. pics or it didn't happen, mlf
no pics sorry
I lost points once in my in-text quotes because when referring to a page number i mistakenly used a upper-case P once
: )
see that shit would drive me crazy
and do not forget that period after the p.
As far as academia and academic papers/research, I think the need to properly cite references and fact check is imperative. As far as student work, I can completely understand profs/teachers asking students to use one specific style.
he was just telling me how he used to ear the same type of hat he I wearing at the moment like a fisherman's hat I guess all the time as he had long hair
Having tools like Word's reference is incredibly helpful. Wish I had it when I was in school.
au6?
Okay, have to get ready for church. Have a wonderful day!!!
I get that and I can totally see the prof stating "Use this format. Mistakes in such will result in deductions", but to weigh so much on it is not right
took me 3 years to glean enough APA material to have a basic understanding without running to owl purdue every 5 seconds
HAGD
bye red
tc red
car are you still here?
yes...past tense if the AU 4/5 was a verb instead of a noun
au6 rode around in a car
Hi Une
ah ty une and car
and hello une
I can't decide if my back or my head hurts more. Trif...your call
back
car are you ok?
Thanks
your back pain can give you a headache, but not the other way around
true trif I have both
Hiliary is killing my Pandora flow this morning :(
mi7?
Pandora radio car?
yes
I used to listen to that all the time I know the last time I did all those stupid ads ugghh
why do they have Hillary on there ?/
she obviously bought ad time
car do you have to listen to her?
wait a minute... you pay for radio and there are still ads?
It's not that its her...just politics in general. Too much
I don't pay for Pandora
that au6 is a stupid word
good morning all
just like anyone else could have....I hate when pandora and other services get taken over by ad
help with tr8 pls
peri I agre
agree
I don't pay for Pandora I listen to it online
Hi Peri!
oh, i thought it was a a pay service.
mi7?
I don't have it MLF
you can pay to get rid of ads I believe
peri do you have tr 5/10?
I have 3 tr5/10
its the one that ends in dbl cons
one to do with hair and the other 2 attempt
the hair one?
yep, I got it thank you
yes peri I was thinking the definition you gave was a word with the first vowel being a u
I am looking for the de8s but not seeing either of them
DE 8/50 is the plural of skins
ty car
de 8/45 sounds like the plural of a carnival ride but with a different first letter
I don't get that clue
does it extend from the 7?
think of a big wheel that you ride at the carnival
I got the de 7 form your clue car?
from
car?
I figured that out but cannot make a de8
I found a de7
me either peri
so did I peri and that's what I thought car had clued and not the 8?
de + double consonant + present form of the verb to be
That gives you DE 6/21; plural it for the DE 8/45
I got it, ty, car, took me an extra minute
ah got them ty
bbl must do something constructive :(
HAGD
bye peri
I am just waiting for hubby to finish cooking
I consider Babble something constructive. It is using my brain and makes me happy
No different than spending the time doing a Sunday Crossword
i totally agree car
Shit, if I have Alzheimer's coming down the pike, this is important
sometimes i think this is less brain work then some crossword puzzles lol
i gtg eat 72 left poof
hagd
Anyone here have a clue for the AU 5/16 please?
Hi kids
read
Free clue already!
Hi Scrabs! Happy Sunday! How is snow shoeing?!?!
My body hurts all over, but we are going out again in an hour.
Nice!
The snow was deep Fri so that was hard work, and heavy yesterday (temp almost 50). Today it will be mid-30's so the snow will be crunchy. I also fell once Fri and twice yesterday so am a bit sore. Do not try stepping backwards with snowshoes on.
Hi All
Hi Hego!
Buon giorno!
Ugh! Scrabs, be careful!
Hiya Car. :)
Scrabs! How's the new TV?
I just tipped backward. Timber!
Careful!
fireworks
Hego, these new LED TVs are amazing! Next I need a bigger one for the LR and this 32 inch one can go into the FR.
Yay!! Car!!
Wow, Car, you have been working on this grid!
Yes, the new ones are amazing.
Car is awesome!
Let me know if I can assist
good morning peoples of babble
It's Babbleonians
Hi Ru
Hi Ruru
that's too close to baloneyians if you ask me
Hah!
Babblesions? No, that sounds like some kind of cancer
I didn't say lesions.
Babbleites? No, that might offend the Babbleheavies
I didn't say you did say that. I said it. I was thinking of other terms out loud.
babblelicious?
Still like Babbleonians
sure.. that's fine too
;)
See you later .
I wasn't clear on what scrabs was doing falling backwards in snowshoes?
Neither was she!
Scrabs...you still here?
enjoy lunch hego
Got to go now and get ready for snowshoeing.
please, when you can, go to overlook acres and see the bunny with the wheels!
car can I get a clue for the au 5/16 please?
hi ruru
good morning mlf
it is similar to "oh boy"!
au + not mom
thanks aeb and car
audaughter
damn it
I thought it was similar to mudbugs
mudbugs?
hi 5/12?
employer mlf
Hi, evveryone! Are you really talking about bugs?
thanks ruru
hi mimi
hi mimi
I just don't know what a mudbug is to be honest
((ruru)) I'll bet they're preferable to bedbugs!
ugh.. yes on that
Gotsta run. HAGD all ((group))
that gives me the creeps when I travel
bye car.ee
I think a mudbug is a crawfish ... good morning folks
((car))
oh
I was thinking insect
thanks ori
Always amazing to me that people decided to try to eat things like that..and shrimp, lobster. I LOVE 'em but who'd have though initially they'd be good?!
hi origami
yeah.. I wanna know who the first guy who tried an oyster
ruru oyster = ewwww
I still have issues with raw oysters but love 'em breaded and fried.
I just can't eat an oyster.. I can't stand the smell
Will NOT under any circumstances try octopus, however.
Will
oh.. octopus is really good
me either mimi
Yeah, I've heard that, ru, but, nope---ick factor too high for me.
you eat calamari no?
Also don't understand cooking with squid ink----BLAH!
me neither on the squid ink..yuck
agreed mimi
No, I haven't tried calamari but I think I could if it was cooked right.
me too I mean
ugh
mi7?
calamari and octopus are relatives
I know, but the calamari is just thin rings while the octopus looks like what it is.
no..
I wouldn't touch either with a 10ft pole
I had thinly sliced octopus in Canada when I visited everyone up there and it was excellent
No, what?
calamari and octopus are only related in that one is the cooked version and one is the live animal
jillibus had it too.. she loved it too
where has jillbus been ?
hi poodle
squid are calamari and they are relatives poodle
Hi MLF
I REALLY hate to quote something my ex said and believed for the 23 yrs. we were married and which used to make me wan tto slam my head against the wall, but...there are enough things I like already.
Yes, ruru
oh.. please quote mimi
:D
I mean no. calamari is a dish.
I guess like pigs are animals and pork is a dish
mi7 clue please????????
yes.. I was trying to coax mimi into considering octopus
Beats me mlf.. no idea
ruru we need to work on that!:)
Just did...Whwnever I wanted him to try something new....food, clothes, a movie...he'd say "there are enough things I like already, why try something new?" I can feel my head slamming up against the wall right now just remembering...
wow
Mi + digits on your feet but put a plural into it.
no wonder you divorced him
the usual method of cell division, characterized typically by the resolving of the chromatin of the nucleus into a threadlike form, which condenses into chromosomes, each of which separates longitudinally into two parts, one part of each chromosome being retained in each of two new cells resulting from the original cell.
Yes---I don't have to die to know what purgatory is...I lived it.
that is the definition ruru
I lived the 10 years a slave thing :D
ty zooz I found it on my own
Hi all, have to butt in, love calamari, etc. not raw oyster, but grilled octopus my favorite served at Greek restaurants
are you greek mary?
Yes
hi mary
Well---it was a sure cure for never wanting to marry again! I don't even date.
calamari is delicious
ruru did you get it
I am planning to date again
?
as is most Greek food, I'm partial
oh..
I'm half greek
I had tri colored couscous and frozen fished sticks
can't say all Greek food, hate okra
I like okra
Maybe one day if I'm at a restaurant that serves calamari and I'm drunk I'll try it...but not the octopus...just can't get the live image out of my head.
i love chicken souvlaki
not one of my faves though
Love fried okra and also okra in soup.
you have to be tentacleacious to try it mimi :D
fried okra is great
stuffed fried okra is even better
isn't okra slimy, I never ate it
I'm very curious and adventurous but, alas, I do have my limits...
if you stew it in tomatoes.. yes it does get a weird texture
Yes, Mary, but you must wash ti well and get rid of the slime.
there's just too much other good food, so don't think I'll try it.
<--- doesn't want to eat anything I have to wash the slime off
good one origami lol
monkfish is slimy.. but man is it good
I can't eat eels
or rabbits or frogs
never ate either but did eat camel - good
camel? what put you over the hump on that?
i can't watch the chat it this food talk makes me want to hurl ewww
I'm still in the process of trying to get upper denture fixed so I can use it so am terribly limited in what I can eat atm....you'll laugh, but miss my favorite meal---teriyaki marinated pork tenderloin with steamed buttered brussels sprouts with a sprinkle of parmesan.
:D
two humps
did you walk a mile for that meal :D
That sounds yummy, Mimi!
Ate frog legs as a kid but, as they say, tastes like chicken....so why not just eat chicken?!
(old camel cigarette commercial reference)
I'm with you fan ... might just become a vegetarian after this
the guy who first said frogs taste like chicken was a dumb cluck
origami this conversation just keeps me from trying any of it eww
Zoom---I don't know why but that pairing of the tenderloin and the sprouts ia perfect--and I kind of just stumbled on it at home.
ruru so obvious
I'm stuck now
ruru what are you stuck on?
everywhere
Well, then, I must be his sister because I thought they did, too---I was only about 10 so I'm depending on memory.
os6?
I tried frog legs once.. that was enough
ruru hope you had something else to eat with it?
did you croak?
yes.. it was at a restaurant with my parents
I've been finding this grid annoying. My neighbor will be over in a minute to see if I need anything since I cannot stand up/walk right now. Leaving for now--bbl.
ruru was everything else good?
I did get indigestion mary.. and my mother said " I toad you so"
ruru oh that figures
bye mimi.. I hope things get better for you
os6 anyone?
SO YOU INHERITED PUNSTERISM, RURU!
too much talk about food, must go get something to eat
the os 6 I have is a plural
i already ate and thankfully i kept it down
:D...
I'm considering having my neighbor pick up an order from Chili's for me and for her....but am so limited as to what I can eat. Thinking cheese enchiladas. Hungry...bye.
ruru is it a pl of a 4 or just a word by itself?
plural of a five
bye mimi
can you clue that 5 please?
Thanks, ru---just started new med so hope it helps until this thing gets diagnosed.
os + more of ending
Hope they figure out what is going on and you get better soon Mimi
I just want to be able to walk---is that so much to ask?
I'm hoping you get over this mimi
Lat year really took me down with all that was happening so on New Year's Eve I said to God "Cure me or kill me but please stop torturing me"
i typed that word in earlier a few times and it wouldn't take ty ruru
Now we're thinking it's a combo of circulatory and nervous system issues. Oh, boy...
well.. I hope that the doctors can figure it out and get you better
mimi don't give up keep pressing forward
Oh--ruru---that tealight is still coming on at hours and is bright while all the others need new batteries....oooo.
hmm.. I'm waiting for my sign mimi.. nothing yet
Already told these drs. that failure is not an option.
56 left will be back
they have to up the ante and help you
Mine is blatant---yours might be more subtle s opay close attention, ruru.
I'm feeling a little better about it.. been in touch with her family.. it helps.
A friend has the same thing and is getting a procedure on 3/3...hoping it works for her so I can give these drs. direction.
oh.. that's good
One has to be incredibly proactive in medical treatment.
A couple of weeks ago I was in the hospital briefly for something else and they wanted to put me on kidney dialysis!! I signed out AMA and went home.
yeah.. you said that before.. that's a weird doctor
or one that wants to make money
They make a lot of money for those procedures.
I have to go do dishes.. I'll keep thinking good thoughts mimi and send them your way
Anyway...better scoot...literally. Good Sunday to all. Later from the gimp.
TY, ((ruru))
mi7/32....clue please

Si 6/18 a code word for the letter s
Teehee I like your icon, Molly :-)
Oops, si6/18 is a country
thanks got it
I'm glad it made you laugh Zoom. I was sad that Harper Lee died. She was one of my favorite authors.
Yes it is sad. I have got the Go set a watchman in my list of books to read after I have finished my other series of books i am currently on.
I didn't enjoy GSAWM as much as TKAM
I have not read it yet but i suppose it will always be judged on To Kill A mocking Bird. and we all know how good that book is.
Berkeley Breathed's tributes to Harper Lee are amazing. It made me realize that no matter what your art form is (writing, painting, cartoons) that you can inspire and touch people with that art form.

hi all
Hi TO; how are you doing today?
fines, and you?
a bit slow (especially in seeing your chat posts! :-)
i've decided to bake tonight. cookies.
what kind TO?
Good for you! What kind?
i think chocolate chip or sea salt chocolate chip
sounds good.
Hi blah; how are you today
I'm freezing, BRB after I make tea
Oh man! I'd love to be able to bake cookies. All I can manage is bread - not terribly exciting.
howdy nef, doing well thanks, bit of rain here today which we need
how are you doing?
i love to bake but then end up eating it all…not good for my waist
i bailed on going out tonight
I was mourning my lack of baking skills on Friday. I paid €70 to have a birthday cake made to order!
Where should you have been going, TO?
Wow! that must have been made of gold, Soodle!
to rockabilly
Almost, Nef. Pic of the birthday girl. & Taylor Swift superimposed on the cream....
I'm intrigued Temple Owl. A concert? Dance class? A hootenanny
dive bar. rockabilly is best in a dive.
Aw. Pity you bailed. Sounds like fun.
saw a great video of french rockabilly kids dancing at the Eiffel tower
Is rockabilly dancing similar to jiving ?
yes swing, lindy hop, balboa, etc
there is a whole subculture of kids, and a lot of bikers.
Sounds energetic!
yep. i cannot lindy. balboa is similar to zydeco but front to back instead of side to side. and fast!
not much room to dance, have to take turns.
Dress code?
I've never heard of balboa; that sounds interesting
if you are a rockabilly kid, late forties- early fifties stuff. or jeans. and lots of tats
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd5gT1\nmp9V0
Speaking of bikers.... My older brother, age 56, a rock of sense & pillar of his community has gone off & bought a Harley. I'm so disappointed at his stereotypical mid-life-crisis. He could have been a bit more imaginative.
Ah TO - cool!!
LOL! That's funny Soodle.
if i had a dollar for all of the dating profiles that mention a harley...
Never sat on a motor ike
that video had swing, lindy hop, and balboa
bike in his life before now. Eye-roll
yep, midlife crisis.
So - whats your dance, TO?
just basic east coast swing, zydeco, various cajun two steps and waltz
but they tried to teach me the merengue and the hustle last sunday
Temple Owl - did you ever hear of Imelda May? She's an Irish rockabilly singer. She's a tual quite good
Temple Owl - did you ever hear of Imelda May? She's an Irish rockabilly singer. She's a tual quite good
Temple Owl - did you ever hear of Imelda May? She's an Irish rockabilly singer. She's a tual quite good
Crikey - damn ipad. Sorry
i have
The merengue? Doesnt that feature in Barry Manilow's song Copa Cabanna?
yes.
i saw graham nash on friday. i was right in front. got a let list and a pick. he still has hair!
How was his voice, TO?
good. he'slost a bit of high, but still has a lot
Wow. He has some back catalogue!
and he sang four old songs and four or five new.
that surprised me
Was he on his own, TO, or did he have a band/backing singers?
What oldies did he perform?
wait, let me get the setlist
he had a guitarist
but for the main show may have had others
And that was it? Cool! (His voice must have held up well over the years then)
he did bus stop, immigration man, wsted on the way, and teach for oldies
and four from the new album.
I just googled his image. He seems to the weathered the years well
Nice!
It seems to me he was the high tenor for Crosby, Still & Nash back in the 70's, right?
he was the harmony. the best at that
and before that, the hollies
I forgot about that! :-)
That sounds like something I would have enjoyed, TO; I hope it was fun.
yes, it was.
Hi folks
hi, ort
My daughter has officially had to retire from roller derby; but she is now one of the photographers for the league she was in. There was a bout last night; & DH & I went but I think we are now officially "old people" because we came home before the bout was over (& got home before 9:30).
hi origami, how are you doing today?
i can relate! i need a nap to go dancing
I just read back through the chat and see that TO saw graham nash. I would love to see him. It would be nice if CSN toured again.
I'm OK Nef ... now are you today?
if he comes near you, do go. he lives in CA now
Well, to be honest, we had our grandson over for Friday night & then he was here almost all day (his choice!); so I think both of us were worn out before the bout.
He's going to be in Berkeley in March I think. I'll try to get one of my aging hippie friends to go with me :D
(& neither of us got dressed all day today either.)
the joys of retirement.
Not really, TO; when I said I was slow today; I meant it. & DH has had 2 naps; I'm hoping we're not getting sick
i hope you are just tired. see you tomorrow
Nighters, TO. I hope that's all it is too.
hope you're not getting sick Nef. There is some nasty stuff out there
And good luck making cookies!
I've had a backache & neck ache today; It's odd because DH had that drier this week & so did a friend; so it's nothing serious but rather unusual for a bug going around
backaches are awful ... hope it gets better quickly
It will.
I am not doing well with this grid; is it hard or is it just me?
it's not a hard grid nef.. sorry to say so
81 to go, but still missing the corner O. could I have stats pls?
thanks ru; it's just me then
os 7/28 harry
ty ru - I will search
hello all....can someone please clue the st 6/18?
something it sounds like you are under trying to finish this grid, pen
(2nd column s)
not sure i get what you are saying, nef...
freaked out = st 6/18
lots of pressure

ah...ty....was looking in the wrong direction...

ty, nef...
90 days till lobster rolls for you
ah....i had one today....$10.95....meat of a one pounder... ;o)
got the os7 - ty
Sounds good, pen.
it was good....not scenic .....got it at a local convenience store....
Well, at least you can buy it there (any time we have lobster here it's either at Red Lobster or frozen
or both :D
(at this time of year, anyway)
we were discussing earlier who was the first indian to figure out how to eat a lobster
LOL, true, blah
and how about an oyster…that was a brave person (no pun intended)
??? how do you figure that out, ru?
beats me.. just the concept of it was interesting
my friend always used to say that....Wonder who was the first brave guy to eat a lobster?....
Do you suppose that it came over with the first Europeans? (Don't they have lobster -or something close to it - there?
they used to serve it to prisoners here....to the point where the prisoners complained....many years ago....
jeez...
maybe they ate everything, and just paid attention to who died afterwards...
hah....
I gotta go burglarize some homes in Maine
LOL! Good one blah
ok.. got to run.. moving more stuff to my new house
bye ru....
Have fun, ru!
bye ru, enjoy!
i am heading out, too....g'nite all...
Niters, pen. I think I'm quitting also; this is a struggle to me today.
Yay, sparkly things :-)
