3:02 am

defeet - losing the battle with your feet up

3:03 am

well that's better than dehands.... lose the battle with your hands up. *giggle*

3:03 am

*giggles* But not a really good one, is it? Not worth adding to our dictionary.

3:04 am

i had pretty bad pain yesterday. i was exhausted. even took endone. i realised that my next infusion is less than 3 week away.

3:05 am

good, that is not that far ahead. And no wonder you are in pain, jeezzz sweetie, you have run around all month like a young girl. Your body needs time to recover from it all.

3:06 am

lollll, what a thought !!! me = young girl

3:07 am

not such a leap, grin.

3:07 am

and that is when dr john is doing my lower back.

3:07 am

oh wow. Good times coming up, rose. I am so excited for you. I hope it will bring you all you hope for, and more.

3:10 am

phantoms: vector and sector

3:11 am

i know.... those two words haunted right through playing the grid.

3:11 am

there will be no stopping you :D Will you remember to take things slow, even if you are painfree?

3:13 am

i will, i promise. initially of course. but i have to fill out a pain chart for 6 weeks

3:13 am

which means i have to see how far i can walk before the pain sets in if at all

3:14 am

very good. May the Big Guy see his way to freeing you from pain alltogether. Or as close to it as possible.

3:17 am

sprite, do you watch the Edinburh Tattoo?

3:18 am

no, haven't heard of that. Is it a series, and about what?

3:18 am

ahem... Edinburgh

3:19 am

every year a display of bands playing, drills, marching and dancing at Edinburgh Castle. it's amazing. the precision is breath-taking

3:21 am

if it isn't televised where you are, you may be able to view through youtube.

3:21 am

sounds good. Here, the traditional things are first the New Year Concert, and then ski jumping (?) in Garmish Partenkirchen.

3:21 am

will check it out on youtube for sure, hun. Sounds interesting.

3:24 am

the bagpipes are so beautiful. they also have a full orchestra at times, or solo violinists, and a school choir .

3:25 am

the new year concert... is it in amsterdam?

3:26 am

no, it is always from Vienna. It is a European tradition. Very beautiful.

3:27 am

3:27 am

it is the Wiener Philharmoniker, conductor is Gustavo Dudamel.

3:30 am

3:33 am

even the biggies are easy to spot, which is saying a lot

3:33 am

it is.

3:38 am

fireflies. That was fun. And just enough time left to walk terra before the concert. *hugs* my darling. Sleep well, and be very very kind to yourself. Love you.

8:15 am

ruby seriously?

8:15 am

ty pen

8:16 am

I was going to say something about year of the rooster and Trump, but held back. You never know who's going to be offended.

8:16 am

<-- no idea for those co's

8:16 am

At this point, it's too late to care!

8:16 am

me either ruby

8:16 am

Chinese New Year starts Jan 28 in 2017, year of the Rooster

8:17 am

unlikely compound word (although I doubt that it really is a compound word. Just lookslike one - look at the points)

8:17 am

THey used to call it Year of the Cock, but have changed to Rooster HA wonder why

8:17 am

i can't imagine monkey lol

8:17 am

I liked the old name better!

8:17 am

cr 8/65 is compound

8:18 am

dorens that is what i have been trying co 7s or an 8 as compound words

8:18 am

It's cr8/80 I think? not cr8/65

8:18 am

just found cr 8

8:18 am

cr 8 - think of wrinkles near your eyes

8:18 am

nbt and nbs

8:18 am

ty for the cr8

8:18 am

8/80

8:19 am

whew I finished the Cs & am taking a break

That's what I found, but I thought it had an s and an apostrophe

8:20 am

tiro

8:20 am

whoops, sorry

8:20 am

you are right ruby that's how it should be spelled

8:21 am

I have tons of wrinkles, but not those. I guess I don't smile enough!

8:23 am

i don't have them thankfully

8:24 am

al6?

8:24 am

I think my vanity took a hike in 1990

8:24 am

lol poor ruby

8:25 am

no, I am very Lucky to be alive and content, and babblers make me smile

8:25 am

Can anyone clue the co8/45? that's the only c i have left

8:26 am

good for you ruby:)

8:26 am

i think vanity is definitely overrated.. particularly when we reach a certain age.

8:26 am

co8 to pen something with someone else

8:26 am

co8....middle of an apple and not on time

8:26 am

I just have to stop watching the news!

8:27 am

Sorry, I clued the wrong co

8:27 am

thanks phae. and molly. and ruby, we all have to stop watching the news.

8:27 am

ty moly and phae

8:27 am

molly

8:27 am

well thanks anyway. you tried, and that counts

8:27 am

I agree about the news. It is just one depressing thing after another.

8:28 am

Now I have to look for Molly's co8

8:28 am

ty phae, two for one!

8:28 am

agreed dorens their was a terrorist attack

8:28 am

it happened early in the AM in Istanbul

8:28 am

when and where, MLFAN

8:28 am

I often go to the good news network site to counteract the effect of the "regular" news

8:29 am

what network site is that Molly?

8:29 am

reading the main page of the internet can be both good and bad

8:29 am

Yes, I knew about that one last night; I've been worried about friends and relatives in big cities

8:29 am

goodnewsnetwork.org

8:29 am

I heard MLF. just further proof that I'll never get to Istanbul, which I've really wanted to do for many years. I even took a cruise last April that began in Athens and was supposed to end in istanbul, but in January they changed the ending, due to earlier attacks.

8:29 am

Itanbul some nightclub

8:29 am

TY Molly

8:29 am

All I have here is the dreaded CNN and BBC. Euronews is junky

8:30 am

i don't mind the BBC news

8:30 am

Nothing could get me into a crowd

8:30 am

I've never been to Israel and think that maybe I had better get there fast. I expect it will become even more unsafe in the near future.

8:30 am

Poor Dorens, going overseas just isn't safe anymore

8:30 am

BBC is 1000 times better than CNN!

8:31 am

Nope. And I agree. I do like BBC and I detest CNN

8:31 am

I had a cousin who retired and moved to Tel Aviv but I didn't get there in time to see her

8:31 am

what i like about both is a lot of times they get news like attacks sooner the our major stations/channels do

8:31 am

CNN spends too much time advertising itself, over and over

8:31 am

stats for the top E in 3rd column pls

8:32 am

Happy New Year, teach!

8:32 am

8:35 am

ew4

8:35 am

8:36 am

since I don't list (and very rarely finish), I rely on the generosity of the chog

8:37 am

Molly has helped me finish one of those rare times; she carried me across on her shoulders!

8:39 am

why don't you list ruby? it makes a huge difference. I wait until I absolutely need it before, but once I do.. most of the words fall into place.

8:39 am

Lat column greyed:)

8:40 am

Sprite showed me how years ago,but I never got the hang of it so don't even try

8:41 am

I love thise game, but don't feel any pressure to finish

8:41 am

I've become very laid-back since I got sick

8:41 am

ruby just go to Lickety's list and put it in your favorites that way you can go back and forth that is how i do it?

8:43 am

I'm happy hanging out and finding the occasional word, now down to 69 left

8:44 am

8:44 am

8:58 am

8:59 am

it reminded me a bit of Umbrellas of Cherbourg

8:59 am

I think Hamilton spoiled me for all musicals. It was soooo different and soooo wonderful.

8:59 am

Yes! Annie filled the hole in my heart left when my best friend in NY passed; the last place we went together was Brighton Beach

8:59 am

well, I'm not surprised, dorens! LOL

9:00 am

9:00 am

Annie is such a sweetheart

9:00 am

9:39 am

Hope you had a good holiday season. <3

9:40 am

I did! Really wonderful! You?

9:40 am

Very good!

9:41 am

Glad it's over, though.

9:42 am

I haven't had the news on since last night. Besides Istanbul, where there any other incidents?

9:42 am

Not as I've heard. No

9:45 am

halfway. bbl...

9:45 am

HAGD

9:45 am

that si the only one I have heard about car

9:45 am

judi are you here?

9:45 am

I was so sad. I turned everything off and went to bed at that point.

9:46 am

Present!

9:46 am

I just happen to change the channel car and saw it on cnn or an upper cable channel

9:47 am

just curious judi. hello to you and car:)

9:47 am

I got the al5 on my phone and could not find any news station covering it.

9:47 am

Hello!

9:49 am

car I only saw it on that one channel though I didn't look otherwise but cnn and other cable news channels seem to get the info first

9:50 am

Sinister business that bombing in Istanbul. Dude dress as Santa blew himself up.

9:50 am

i saw it wasn't a "santa"?

9:51 am

so we know it was him or is it a diversion i wonder?

9:53 am

oohh santa suit man went to the nightclub etc . what is wrong with people .. and why?

9:53 am

I would think in Istanbul he'd dress up like a Turkey

9:54 am

Because they deliberately target Christians and Jews. Basically, they hate everyone.

9:54 am

Whew! New Year's Fritatta came out great!

9:54 am

sounds yummy car

9:54 am

Judi you are right about htat

9:58 am

yummmmm

9:59 am

Gaaackkk

9:59 am

9:59 am

Porridge haters!

9:59 am

If you said something like that in front of my auntie, she would give you even more of that food.

9:59 am

mlf.. british poop

10:00 am

car and i still wouldn't eat it lol

10:00 am

Porridge is to mush for me

10:00 am

Then you went nowhere. Sat at the table all freakin' day/night until it was gone. And if it wasn't, you got it served to you again the next day

10:01 am

Oh pease. It's not that bad!

10:01 am

:)

10:01 am

I get that one!

10:02 am

Sounds like "auntie" had a mean streak.

10:02 am

mlf, did you find the british poop?

10:02 am

My Dad did the same thing with oatmeal. For years I couldn't eat it. But now I like it again. So long as it's not overcooked.

10:03 am

Poop and oatmeal. Yuck

10:03 am

finally got it ty

10:03 am

ruru nice convo right lol

10:04 am

i don't mind instant oatmeal but the real stuff? forget it

10:04 am

fa 6/30, pls

10:04 am

LOL..and I don't like the instant stuff! At my husband's work they have the best steel cut oats.

10:05 am

steel cut oats? no thanks

10:05 am

bich, that's the british poop!

10:05 am

i am eating toast with cretons...

10:05 am

Only have time for instant. Usually what I eat when I get to work in the a.m.

10:05 am

Wishing all my babble buds a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!!

10:05 am

Happy New Year!

10:05 am

There's those cretons again!! Is it anything like liverwurst?

10:05 am

Cretins?

10:05 am

judi only problem is it makes me belch so i haven't had it for a while now

10:06 am

same to u peri

10:06 am

sorry if I know nothing about British poop [that sentence sounds really weird

10:06 am

cretons....it's a pork spread...

10:06 am

Never heard of cretons before.

10:07 am

lol bichon its fa vowel fen*** white picket that is

10:07 am

Are you having swine with it?

10:07 am

it's french canadian....i grew up eating it....haven't had it in years, but saw some at the grocery store so i bought it....

10:08 am

ruru I bought the more expensive tonic, fevertree to go with the grey goose my niece bought for me. I still prefer gin.

10:08 am

nbt

10:08 am

ty fan

10:08 am

congrats m9

10:08 am

I'll probably regret asking, but what part of the pig is used for cretons?

10:08 am

<--loves gin and tonic

10:09 am

Oh. It is great tonic isn't it?

10:09 am

judi i was about to ask the same thing lol

10:09 am

It is good

10:09 am

yw bichon

10:09 am

British anything adds extra vowels to American words. I thought that was a common clue here.

10:09 am

I will have to try it wit gin later today to really tell the difference.

10:09 am

it's ordinary pork....my mother made cretons at home....and meat pie with similar ingredients...

10:10 am

fe 5/26, pls

10:10 am

molly i was thinking should have known as its usually the same two put together

10:10 am

you get it in the refrigerator section.....you put it on toast and it melts....

10:10 am

Sounds suspicious, pen. Like scrapple or Spam.

10:10 am

The British way is more like Latin

10:10 am

ruru, is there a type of wine you could suggest for everyday, ie, Chablis, merlot, etc. not that I would drink it everyday but something to have around the house

10:10 am

Peri, I get headaches and heartburn frequently from wine. If company is coming, I just generally get Barefoot Pinot Grigio. Everyone seems to like it and it doesn't bother my system.

10:13 am

Sure.

10:14 am

I saw mention of Barefoot wines in the chat. Did you know that they use recycled fracking wastewater to irrigate the vineyard? There are quite a few California wines that have used this practice. Also some of the citrus groves. Be careful what you put in your body.

10:27 am

10:52 am

They have things like froggo, curly wurly, crunchie, fudge chocolates etc.

10:52 am

Happy New Year, Babblers All!

11:22 am

And to you, JBsAnno!

11:23 am

ZoooooooZ!

11:23 am

May you have a zoomin year!

11:24 am

Aww thanks..And I hope it is! Hope yours will be great too!

11:24 am

You get a better view on the TV than being there live I would think.

11:24 am

I see that most people have gone to other pursuits: laundry, lunch (or food), etc.

11:24 am

I see that most people have gone to other pursuits: laundry, lunch (or food), etc.

11:25 am

*Watches how Zoom "leaves" and then comes back again : P

11:25 am

Ah I almost left but JBsAnno just caught me before I clicked close :-)

11:25 am

Yes, zooz, true. We went live to the parade one year. It was highly energetic drunken revelry that we observed just inches away from us!

11:26 am

Hi, Molly! Happy New Year!

11:26 am

back...

11:26 am

Yes, it's kinda like peri asking for a clue/hint, then nm. :)

11:27 am

Happy New Year, pen! I will take your fine example and do laundry too, but a little later...

11:27 am

ty...

11:27 am

happy new year to you, too...

11:27 am

There is always a load of laundry going in my place. I can't deal with one day of 7 or 8 loads.

11:28 am

i wanted to get it done before football begins....

11:28 am

I will be making a cup of tea nad eat some chocolates and probably play poker ( Not for money)

11:28 am

And*

11:28 am

i have to do outside and then down some cement stairs to get to the laundry area in the basement....

11:28 am

Eagles play their last game of the year against the Cowboys. Good way to end.

11:28 am

i grew up playing poker for money....it was a family thing...;o)

11:28 am

Poker for chocolates sounds like a good deal

11:29 am

eagles played well last week, didn't they?

11:29 am

If we played poker for money, I would be still-paying back my siblings...

11:29 am

Love playing poker but do not have the money to play for real. Can not afford to lose any lol

11:30 am

we played for nickels and dimes (small change)....

11:30 am

I wish, Molly, but even with a w/d in our apt, my work schedule keeps my laundry confined to the weekends.

11:30 am

I don't like to gamble

11:31 am

it's the only kind of gambling i ever did...

11:31 am

<---does laundry every day ...but drinks while he does it

11:31 am

I do the Euro lottery with parents but alas not won yet :-(

11:31 am

You can't lose much playing nickle, dime, quarter and it is fun.

11:31 am

yup....

11:32 am

i did win $55 one day in Montreal playing with relatives....but we played from late morning to bedtime....we did stop to eat dinner... ;o)

11:32 am

I am de-decorating the house and giving it a good New Year clean.

11:32 am

I'm redoing the Kitchen here a bit

11:32 am

Still $55 up than you were when you started :-)

11:32 am

can you come over and clean my place, Molly?....i have a cleaning lady who comes in once a month to do a good cleaning....but she had a knee replacement....

11:33 am

Is that just taking down Christmas decorations, Molly lol

11:33 am

Yes, pen, they played the Giants last week, and won, which was too little too late to rescue the season. I have high hopes for the team upcoming next season!

11:33 am

yes, zooz....that was the profit of my day's playing...

11:33 am

Wanna clean, too, but gotta lunch first.

11:33 am

<---hopeless in SF with the 49ers

11:34 am

we now have the worst team in the league

11:34 am

sorry, ru....

11:34 am

Happy New Year, ruru! I look forward to a new year of groans in your profile ;) and puns on the chog.

11:35 am

yeah.. that's right I have to zero it out for the new year

11:35 am

Yeah, ru, sympathies. However, good wishes to any developing relationship you may or may not have mentioned!

11:35 am

you should keep 2016 for posterity

11:36 am

thanks JB.. we did go out on a nice date.. so it's a great start

11:36 am

i believe in you that you can get more this year

11:36 am

you could put a little table like 2015 46 groans 2016 56 groans lol

11:36 am

2015 was 203 Groans.. my best effort yet

11:36 am

yes, groan history...

11:36 am

Sweet!

11:36 am

Glad it is still on going then, Ruru!..So 2017 really could be the year!

11:37 am

I hope so.. I really like her

11:37 am

I wasn't here enough in 2016 to gather pun groans

11:38 am

Work schedule, hmm, let's see. I work 40 hours a week and sometimes more than that, but still make time for a load of laundry a day. Like I said, I can't deal with a whole day devoted to laundry.

11:38 am

Does that mean your groan efforts will be getting more elaborate to beat 203 groans lol

11:38 am

yes.. I just have to come up with more groan-worthy puns zooz

11:38 am

Hoping for all good things to come your way, zooz, Molly, ruru, pen, and Leslie! Before I go, just want to point out that this grid has more E letters than it has words that begin with E.

11:38 am

good morning and Happy New Year.

11:39 am

If you have a nice glass of wine and do Laundry .. it makes it a lot more palatable

11:39 am

groan

11:39 am

Well if anyone can come up with them it is you, Ruru the king of puns!

11:39 am

hi nan

11:39 am

True, Molly, but add my commute on that, and quiet hours for my building, and it's laundry on weekends for me :)

11:40 am

Hi, nan, Happy New Year!

11:40 am

And to you, Nan!

11:40 am

And I really have to go now. BBL to finish, happy finishing to everyone today!

11:40 am

I have a very short commute. I refuse to spend hours in the car to get to and from work. It is stressful and expensive.

11:40 am

bye jb!

11:40 am

Ha!, Ruru has added that one already LOL

11:40 am

I spend days in the car

11:41 am

Bye, JBsAnno :-)

11:41 am

I'll take any I can get.. Leslie is just prepared for the pun onslaught this year

11:41 am

hunkering down.

11:41 am

:-)

11:42 am

My whole history of punning is in the archives :D

11:42 am

Okay my cup of tea is calling me and chocolate bar is ready to be chewed. Happy babbling everyone *poof*

11:42 am

I work with people who spend over an hour to and from work. When you factor in what they spend on gas, oil changes and auto repair (not to mention time away from their loved ones) their wages are close to minimal.

11:44 am

I don't understand why people who never have to leave their workplace would spend an hour or more commuting in heavy traffic when they can hop on an lrt and be there in half and hour.

11:45 am

irt?

11:46 am

LRT - light rapid transit

11:46 am

ty

11:46 am

many places in the US don't have good public transit

11:47 am

here neither, hurshy, but that's because people don't use them.

11:47 am

yeah, vicious cycle

11:48 am

it gets used a lot in SF and the Bay Area

11:49 am

In Vancouver people who insist on driving in the city pay a surcharge on their gas to pay for the commuter system and in London, UK they pay a substantial extra fee on their car licenses to be able to drive in the city -- both good ideas, I think, for encouraging people to use commuter systems and for the environment

11:50 am

happy new year all! 3 C words left

11:50 am

wtg dan

11:56 am

in my mind i always thought that co8 had a double rr in the middle

3:54 pm

dictionry gives the double r spelling as the meaning of the single r spelling - I think that we always use the double r spelling in the us

4:00 pm

bye Lyn

4:08 pm

The US spelling of co8 has a double r

4:13 pm

sounds as if there may be profanities lil*monkey
