tis confusing since there were popes named it if you spell it that way

1:26 am

epitheton*

1:35 am

hello everyone

1:36 am

1:37 am

it was cooking day for me mostly :D

1:37 am

ah! What did you cook

1:38 am

?

1:38 am

three salads.. (arugula/pear/pomegranate) Beet with orange segments and a dark balsamic dressing and a watercress shrimp and grapefruit salad

1:39 am

ohhhh that must look so beautiful, great colour combinations. And sounds yummy as well.

1:40 am

Main course was Prime Rib with steamed Veggies, Rosemary roasted potatoes, carrots with Shallots, chicken stock and fresh Thyme and baked yams with an amaretto crust

1:40 am

then we had tons of desserts (not me)

1:40 am

good grief. That is some serious eating. Lovely menu.

1:41 am

big crowd and mixed group.. I was cooking all day

1:41 am

I am sure it was appreciated

1:42 am

yep.. I'm glad things turned out.. there was other stuff but that's the main menu

1:42 am

love it. Think I am gonna hide in your place and steal some food next year :D

1:43 am

the salads were a huge hit

1:45 am

1:52 am

night then sprite.. see you soon

1:54 am

night ru! *hug* And have a lovely day

2:03 am

I have a setting on my car aircon that says "demist" enable says it is not a word ?

2:26 am

Are you sure that part of the car didn't come from a non-English-speaking country, ursh?

2:29 am

Demist is used in UK cars.

2:31 am

I always try to enter it.

2:31 am

Hmmm. Are you sure it's 100% UK? They could be using Belgian bolts and Danish Demist.

2:32 am

Pretty sure. I lived in the UK much longer than I’ve lived here.

2:33 am

Just googled demist - British word.

2:34 am

OK. Just funnin'. I just came back from an annual sojourn to the New Asia Restaurant - huge place, seats 2,200 - to listen to four brilliant stand-up comics perform the Kung Pao Kosher Komedy. It was a blast.

2:34 am

That sounds like fun.

2:35 am

That's good Liz. Now we know Enable is not all its cracked up to be. .... but, it's all we've got. *sob*

2:36 am

I should be used to enable now - words it accepts, those it doesn’t and as for multiple spellling of Yiddish words ...

2:37 am

It was fabulous fun. Lots of Yiddish words!

2:37 am

😊

2:37 am

ha

2:38 am

I’ll gave to google Kung Pao Kosher Comedy. Sounds a blast.

2:38 am

Perhaps I’ll find a clip on YouTube.

2:39 am

I don't know if you realize it's an American Jewish tradition to eat out in Chinese restaurants on Christmas day. Started because everything else was closed.

2:41 am

I’ve seen that. Good tradition. I spent the day cooking.

2:41 am

Let me know if you find one. I doubt it. This was mostl an older crowd and I didn't see any phones being held uup - but that doesn't mean anything.

2:41 am

Will do

2:41 am

What did you cook up?

2:42 am

Yes there are YouTube clips.

2:42 am

Fish balls, pita, granola.

2:43 am

I never thought to look myself. Thanks a bunch.

2:43 am

I never thought to look myself. Thanks a bunch.

2:43 am

I did a straight google, then selected videos.

2:44 am

Sounds tasty AND healthy, great combination. Shame to spend Xmas day cooking, though. hm. Guess I never thought to look ... twice.

2:45 am

Well we did use our pool too.

2:46 am

Unhealthy cooking tomorrow. Biscuits. Family arriving at the weekend.

2:46 am

Now I'm torn. Got to start Babble soon or fall into bed. ..... oh the pool, eh. I've almost forgotten what one uses a pool for. Hope you had a lovely day, though.

2:47 am

Relaxing - but it’s nearly 7pm on 26th now!

2:47 am

I was kidding you earlier but demist is a totally logical word, unlike some that get any old prefix stuck on.

2:48 am

I realised you were joking but I was interested in the fact it’s a UK word. We don’t use defog in the UK. Or here either I think.

Yes, it is relaxing. And as far as exercise goes, the Best! You get twice the results for half the effort.

2:52 am

OK. Made up my addled mind. Going to bed - it's just on 1am and I've been up since 7am. Yawn. Got to get at least one night's rest before New Year's comes along. Nice chatting with you,

Sleep well.

2:53 am

Ta Liz. Next time. Bye..

10:49 am

I'm still doing dishes here..yikes

10:50 am

it was a reference to the fact that I never did get the turkey cooked yesterday; I made it all this morning; hence if you are in my neighbourhood there is fresh cooked and yummy turkey.

10:57 am

if I lived in qualicum.. I'd be right down :D

10:58 am

well at least I got one taker. even if a would-be taker. hello to you ruru

10:59 am

yay first tray of cookies in the oven for the Boxing Day party later.

11:01 am

what kind of cookies? can I come over?

11:01 am

just chocolate chip. this time with no cinnamon, which i usually put in. I also used 3/4 whole wheat and 1/4 cake flour. We'll see how that works out.

11:02 am

THAT sounds wonderful!

11:03 am

I used the Baker's Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from Kraft Canada, as that's my favorite, even though i change it up a bit.

11:05 am

those recipes always used to be super reliable -- glad they still are

11:05 am

i first got the recipe from Bakers Chocolate Chips bags, but i can't find those here anymore, and when i do, no recipe on the bag. Yay internet.

11:06 am

phantom ocean

11:07 am

11:09 am

:)

11:10 am

i had family in Montreal and Brossard, QC growing up. I was very confused the first time i saw a store that said The Bay instead of La Baie. LOL

11:14 am

first tray looks good. i'll move them to the racks in o moment.

11:14 am

LOL for sure, big time. We have sure both had strange knowledge of The Bay. Where I grew up, the Bay was a shacky type of place that was full of furs coming in and tinned goods going out. That was at Great Slave Lake, NWT, Canada, a while back...

11:15 am

LOL That makes sense for up ther.

11:15 am

there.

11:30 am

hello everyone :)

11:31 am

hi saan -- power restored?

11:34 am

hello, nan

11:50 am

:)

11:50 am

last tray of cookies in oven. Then i can clean kitechen, bathe, and dress for party and get going. Yay!

11:51 am

i remember bags and boxes from Morgans.

11:52 am

it was a much better store before the bay bought it out -- i liked to time my visits for 4:00pm when the piper would be playing

11:54 am

nice!

12:26 pm

hmm, try a bookstore near you (possibly)?

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

12:27 pm

Hey guys, I just want to apologize for any problems I cause in the past. I was trying to help, and I ended up making things worse. I apologize. I was naive then, I know better now. I hope those of you who were mad at me can find a way to forgive me. Thanks. And sorry for the disruption, I needed to say this.

12:44 pm

12:45 pm

and good job Hannah with your apology

If you are talking about me, I apologized for what I've done in the past. Like I said before, I was naive then. I know better now. I hope you can find a way to forgive me for what I've done. I understand if you can't.

1:23 pm

i'm back to the in 6-7 again -- help please?

which 6-7?

1:25 pm

*!*~*!* hagd everyone :)

you too Nan!

1:30 pm

cyber, do you have the op 5 that's a drug? if so, substitute in + a consonant for the op. Then plural for the in 7.

1:30 pm

oops, i'm too late. Congrats cyber!

PastorJ, the op5 that I tried is a drug, but its not working

the one I'm thinking of isn't in the puzzle

1:35 pm

it is, but perhaps in a different form than the one currently in media headlines. the one ending in -oid is the adj form of the noun and means the drug is made with op5.

thanks, but I'm still confused

1:36 pm

little hard to give more info without just giving the word itself

its okay, I'll try to figure it out later

1:37 pm

Ever read Sherlock Holmes? He would regularly visit op5 dens

no sorry

haven't read any

I researched that, and found it thanks

1:39 pm

good! Sherlock Holmes stories are great to read BTW

so I've heard, I might check it out some time, after I get through all the books I own lol

there is actually an epidemic of the -oid going where I live, I don't really read much newspapers/magazines or watch the news, I only know it from people talking about it so much about it being an epidemic around these parts

1:47 pm

Sorry, Hannah - stepped away for a bit and didn't see your question! Glad NatashaW helped you out!

its alright PastorJ, I understaned

understand

2:12 pm

hello 145 to go. I hope everyone had a satisfactory yesterday....

2:24 pm

ni10- rhymes with ridiculous

2:24 pm

hard to clue

I already have it, but thank you

I was just telling her the stats

2:25 pm

ooo..ok

2:30 pm

ty for clue. got it finally. terrible word. never heard of it

me niether

2:31 pm

looking for the ex 8. any clues? ty

the dictionary says its an adjective that means obsolete

2:32 pm

ex8 most of the way out, themn there is a p word meaning very religious - use that but change the P to another consonant

2:33 pm

great clue, lynxxx - thanks.

2:33 pm

yw

2:34 pm

well i got the first par, but then how do i get to the P?

2:34 pm

use the p5 word meaning very religious

2:35 pm

perhaps read my original clue again

pi5/14 shes talking about

2:35 pm

from the ex, how do i get to the P? that is where i am failing. the P 5 uses the three vowels. that is my issue

2:35 pm

mkg, there is no P. Use a different consonant :)

2:35 pm

lynxxx's clue state to replace the P

2:36 pm

the ex is not near the p at all.

mkg, do you have pi5/14?

2:37 pm

to get from the x to the p requires that is use the d and i. but if i use the i, i cant make the religious word. if i go ex and then de, i must then use the c to get there.

2:37 pm

i have pi 5 14. yes

replace the p with another consonant

2:37 pm

as stated in lynxxx clue - REPLACE the P

2:38 pm

perhaps it is exwaso and then i get to the p. or it is exdeco to the p.............

2:38 pm

i have to go pee

there is no p in the word

2:38 pm

i totally missed the replacing the p. sorry.

exclude the p entirely

2:38 pm

lol Knight

2:39 pm

ok got the 8. whew that was tough.

hey mkg do you remember me?

2:39 pm

ty all cluers.

2:39 pm

2:40 pm

synonym for holy

2:40 pm

ous

2:40 pm

I wanted to use a ni10 word

2:54 pm

Happy Boxing Day to you too, temple. I'm not very far in yet, but which clues do you need? Maybe I can reframe...

its boxing day?

well i'll tskr thr 10. i am an overnight guest and do not want to sit here all night babbling.

2:58 pm

Hi Owl

hi lyn

2:59 pm

BBL it's going to be hot today so I had better get things done early

2:59 pm

good to see you, lynxxx. Stay co4!

i am freezing here. and it's probably bout 36F

it's 6 c.

send that heat here

3:00 pm

Brrrrrrr, TO. We have 40F here, so chilly.

well that's 43F.

it's that time when the sun is going down, gets cold of a sudden.

3:02 pm

lol! Ah, yes, put me in that category of uneducated U.S. citizens who can't convert! (sad, so sad, but true)

heck , neither can i, the weather channel converts. aside from 32F being 0c. i have no clue.:)

3:05 pm

My beloved husband does it in his head, easily. But he's lived and studied in Europe... plus, he's mathematically inclined, where I'm better with words.

3:06 pm

for F to C subtract 30 and divide by 2 (approximates) so 40F is about 5C

3:07 pm

Sure, KnighTime... Mr. Brains. My husband has told me that formula a bunch of times, but ...... I think my brain malfunctions when it sees a math problem. lol!

3:10 pm

KnightTime, you must have a math brain too!

anyone care to clue the 10?

3:11 pm

(And a brain for words too - rare!) Sorry, I don't have the 10 yet.

3:13 pm

but does he have common sense CH? :D

3:14 pm

Ah... ruru, that would be the perfect trifecta if he did! lol!

i am sitting here freezing and having an allergy attack. as a guest, i cannot say a word. perhaps i will drive somewhere to get into a warm car.

allergic to fragranced candle

3:16 pm

TO, you should definitely ask if you can turn up the heat in your bedroom. Chances are they keep the heat down not realizing that guests get cold. Hope you will say something ... and put that candle into a bottom drawer until you're ready to leave. Warm hugs to you!

central heat.

one zone

ty ch

3:17 pm

Oh. :(

nordic people don't feel the cold

a trip to the mall may be in order.

3:18 pm

LOL! Sounds about right. My stepdad was Norwegian and would happily work outside in sub-zero weather without a coat. My husband is Swedish, and the same way!

3:19 pm

Has the 10 been clued yet? If not, could someone please?

3:20 pm

ni 10.. somewhat similar to silly or unbelievable that usually begins with RI

3:22 pm

maybe raise the temp in the house TO.. it's easy to do

3:23 pm

got it! thanks, ru!

3:24 pm

TO, let me know if you need a different clue. It's a toughy.

got it, ty ch

aecium

3:26 pm

3:26 pm

Hello Babble Friends :-)

i'm learning some new words today.

3:27 pm

Hi Soodle!

3:30 pm

Hi CH ((())) and a very Happy New Year to all. (Can’t believe the ‘Hannah’ person is still trying to fool us.

3:30 pm

Well, we've all been doing a good job of non engaging, so I hope that continues.

3:31 pm

hello everyone. I hope we are all well fed and happy with left overs today.

3:31 pm

what leftovers?

3:32 pm

I take it your meal was a success then. Well done

3:32 pm

We went to my sister's an hours drive away and I left my purse there so we have to go back to get leftovers tomorrow

3:33 pm

Hi Bugsaw! We had a fun, festive feast with assorted meats and cheeses, fruits, excellent wine, and decadent desserts instead of the traditional sit down dinner. It was just the two of us, and great fun!

3:33 pm

Will continue with the Hannah non engagement, but will give that Babbling Bugsaw a massive hug!! Hey Hun(((;)))

3:33 pm

Your icon is especially appropriate given your comment about leftovers, Ruru! lol!

3:35 pm

Glad you had a good time ch1212. It can be hard to make it feel like a feast when there are only 2

3:35 pm

Tomorrow our other siblings are coming for a leftover meal. It could become a tradition so noone had to eat turkey in some form for every meal for weeks.

3:36 pm

We called daughter and opened gifts over the phone, so it felt a bit like she was there. I love your new tradition of the leftover meal with everyone.

3:36 pm

I am being paged by Mr Bugs. Happy Babbling to everyone

3:36 pm

and hugs all round

3:37 pm

{{{{ hugs }}}}

3:56 pm

Okay, i could use a litte extra help with the 10. My monkeys aren't working.

Also, i dont have the 8. (Sigh)

4:15 pm

NI 10 is Ni 4/5 before it + Brit way of spelling a word for red,green,blue etc but with a different last letter.

4:16 pm

EX 8/75 is an obsolete word for distinguished; eminent; excellent.

4:17 pm

I totally monkeyed that one...thanks for definition, zooz

4:18 pm

Nice one, Champfit!

4:18 pm

No one was more surprised than I was!

6:45 pm

And that's it for me. Have fun all! Happy Boxing-Day-After-Christmas-December 26 to all and to all a good night!

7:01 pm

ex8.75 - unusual word

7:03 pm

ex 8/75 it uses today's usual ending

7:03 pm

thanks, i'll work on it!

7:05 pm

wow - def. not an everyday word! thanks!

7:09 pm

One of those words you will probably only see here. The Enable guys love them.

7:13 pm

no way could I have finished this grid without morewords - so many newbies to discover.. ciao till next time, poof.

8:00 pm

Hello, 129 to go

8:10 pm

8:16 pm

8:18 pm

8:33 pm

Clue for ni10?

Firewords! Thanks, everybody!

8:35 pm

une, it rhymes with ridiculous

8:37 pm

I do not have a mansion, a yacht, or a string of poloponies.

8:38 pm

TX harp...what a word!

8:38 pm

love the definition!

8:39 pm

a word that describes some birds and some young adult humans

8:39 pm

I've been skiing in the polomonies

8:39 pm

poloponies, that is.

8:40 pm

cedi

8:40 pm

sorry

8:43 pm

48 to go, slowing down

8:46 pm

time for dinner

9:52 pm

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT! Lots of neologisms today!

9:58 pm

to be strict, these words have been around since ca.2000 so not neologisms :P conga-rats nevertheless!

10:09 pm

less than 20 years old? I think they still qualify. After all, Enable is more derelict than that in its tech vocabulary,

10:10 pm

and my felicitations, godthaab

10:18 pm

(googling neologism....)

10:27 pm

What? You would take Google's opinion over mine???

10:27 pm

Google is...a...a neologism!

10:29 pm

found some flightless birds

10:32 pm

are they neologisms, jane?

10:34 pm

nope but they are delicious!

10:35 pm

oh, that's awful. If they're flightless you don't even have to hunt them

10:36 pm

I'm not sure if I've found any or not -- I have 44 left and I'm monkeying - don't have definitions for most of what I'm finding!

10:36 pm

de5? any of them?

10:37 pm

not sure, I'll check

10:38 pm

Nope. The one I didn't have a definition for doesn't have a definition in Enable either. Going to google.

10:43 pm

(1) The word I was looking for is obsolete. That's about par for Enable. (2) But it was a da word anyway. Now I shall go track down ... very very softly ... the de word.

10:47 pm

lo7?

10:48 pm

found an alpine rodent

10:49 pm

lo7 . abbreviation for train + belief system suffix

10:53 pm

ah - you mean the mad religion

10:53 pm

Hi Rose! Hope you had a lovely Christmas! I'm at a friend's place...no keyboard...

10:54 pm

Kam, please don't tell me whaat you're using'

10:54 pm

and hi rose, kam

10:57 pm

Back and forth between phone and kindle...am crosseyed. Friend noticed Rose was online so I said Hi!

11:02 pm

Frustrating, Kam. We are so tied to our devices.

11:10 pm

hi all, 101 to go

11:11 pm

need clue for so7,28...

11:12 pm

nm got it!!

11:12 pm

how weird is that phenomenon (the minute you break down and ask for a clue, you suddenly see it)

11:14 pm

it's stepping away from logic to intuition perhaps

11:14 pm

:-D got my first 7

11:14 pm

mine are more like socks in the washer: I put two in my head at once, and can only pull one out if I leave it in more than a second.

sometimes you hunt fruitlessly for a long time, then stop and do something else, then come back and like magic, you see more words

halfway done woot

11:17 pm

Exactly, TallMike - I absolutely knew I had put two in ,,, but I guess it was only one.

11:18 pm

8 - D

11:19 pm

done, toughie

(how old???)

woo hoo jane !!!!!!!!

11:20 pm

YAY Harpjane!

11:22 pm

Gwen, I think that "go and come back" (or close your eyes for awhile) has most to do with two things: sight perspective. And which letters or combos of letters your brain favors.

11:22 pm

ah! NBS!

11:24 pm

Keep climbing stidmama

could be jwr

police phantom

11:26 pm

11:47 pm

ex8 + two dot letters with a consonant in between them + adjective ending

11:47 pm

You have a puppy!!?

11:48 pm

So cute!

11:52 pm

well drat. I cannot get it to load. He's three now, a wonderful rescue mutt -- part golden (I was told), part shepherd, possibly part chow or pit. A soft mouth for a shepherd, a lot more independent than a lab... LOL he's smarter than the average third grade teacher, that's for sure!

11:52 pm

Oh, and he's a red-head. ;-)

11:53 pm

I saw a pic of him... it was really large and sideways, but I could see him. He's very handsome! Smart dogs are the bane of my existence. And the joy.

11:53 pm

His name is Wally. Or Wallace Walls of Walltown on formal occasions. He owns me.

11:54 pm

:-) I am glad you could see the pic. I'll go back to the other one then, so I don't bog down the servers.

11:54 pm

Oh wow! My first frisbee dog was named Wally. Short for Captain Wallace Marvel, Fearless Freedom Fighter, Defender of Truth and Justice. =)

11:55 pm

Are you on the fb group? I just got added. You can show me there.

11:56 pm

LOVE IT! Wally would be a good frisbee dog if I could trust him off leash. He's very FAST, and he loves chicken (with or without BBQ sauce)... which are abundant in our semi-rural area

11:56 pm

I'll wander in. :

11:58 pm
