morning all
lindy!
Good morning, lindy.
carla!
hi bea! not so good, actually. our furnace isn't working!
well I finished the top H at least.
oh no!
it's 36 degrees outside. probably below 60 in the house by now
I might have to do some baking, or *gasp* wash dishes by hand to stay warm!
Yikes! I'm sorry lindy.
no space heaters around?
mr lindy is trying to fix it, but not sure what's wrong yet
maybe you should just crawl back in bed :D
yes, that would be warm, carla.
Yes Bea, and a ten gallon hat and a 40 ounce ribeye steak for the lady
We lived in our house an entire winter with only space heaters.
we have 1 or maybe 2 space heaters. small, though.
I think my brother's heat pump died like 3 years ago.
Of course its not as cold here as it is there.
I thought space heaters and cats didn't mix
Does he use space heaters, Carla?
We didn't have any cats then.
Do I look different today?
I assume so. my other brother had gotten my dad a nice one for Xmas or birthday and my dad sent it to their house. I assume he still has that one plus some others. He also has a ton of cats.
I think they got a couple of window ACs for the the summer. he did say he was going to get it replaced this winter but we'll see.
I would be afraid that cats would knock over the space heaters and that is a fire hazard.
he also has 2 or 3 dogs (yeah I said it) inside
is it just me, or are the i's a PITA today?
it's not you
out of 11 total, I've been able to find 3

A NEW COMPUTER!!!!

oh nice!
you got a new computer?
I did!
hi everyone
Welki!
hi welki
awesome! I would love a new one but think I'm going to have to use this until it dies.
welki!
always fun, and a little bit of a challenge, getting a new laptop - congrats, bea!
hokie!
I do not like change. Change sends me over the edge. I'm trying to be grateful, but I hate change. =)
we're at the lake now, and i'm on 8 or 9 year old macbook
the first one i have is about 15 years old and it still works (but the battery's crapped out, has to be plugged in)
my mom complains about her desktop and I talked to my oldest bro about getting her a chromebook or something she can use in the living room, but we're not sure she will like that change.
what did you get, bea?
welki, I'm on an 8 year old macbook right now. battery ain't what she used to be, but I can be unplugged for a little while with it.
this macbook- just checked, 2012 - will operate on battery just fine. i have a macbook air back in town - not bad - 3 laptops over 15 years
I got a
I went through 3 windows laptops in like 2 years before switching to mac, and this one has last forever.
(and they all still work - my husband (should i call him mr. welki LOL) has probably gone through more than double the amount of windows laptops in that same time
bea building suspense...
yes, yes she is
Dell product. Don't aske me...'
dells are usually pretty good
dell makes good machines, bea - enjoy it, you'll love how fast it is
I'm used to a track point and not a pad. Having a hard time learning that.
yeah, we've had some Dells around here
I'm not a fan of touch pads. I prefer mouse.
me too, lindy, will grudgingly use the touch pad. for me, it's an 'old dog-new trick' thing. i doubt my grandchildren have ever used a mosue
or a mouse
I use a mouse at my desk, but have gotten used to the trackpad fine.
that's like being ambidextrous, hokie - very talented :)
ha!
bea, maybe use a mouse until you get more used to the pad?
I mouse right handed at my desktop, but left handed on my laptop.
oh no, I hear mr lindy on the phone with the furnace company
now that's talen
talent
ohh, lindy!! sorry, hokie, but you've been usurped
agreed
due to right shoulder injuries, I've had to learn to do most things left handed over the years. toughest was brushing teeth.
(and you're right. those i's are a pain)
I have a tremor in my right hand. Have to learn to write with my left hand {{
my oldest kid is pretty ambidextrous but I can't do anything lefty. I did have surgery on my right shoulder but don't remember what specific things gave me trouble. just everything.
wow, almost missed the legit spelling of the cat sound

yes, I would have expected we too
thanks, matty
Would someone please nudge me on the en6, please?

Thanks dan. Less a nudge, more a shove, but absolutely perfect :)
di 6/33, pls
sorry need more coffee for correct strength calibrations
was just typing a clue and then dan's popped in, so weird how that happens sometimes
If you're a horrible offspring, I'll di6/33 you - cut you off from my will
you're dead to me, IOW
got the 9!
Don't worry Dan, I'm just pulling your leg - thank you ver much :)
thx
matty, it's not disinherit
No. It isn't.

good morning all -- there is a wi Can. monster that us usually we? Must live in the east -- only ones I can think of are ogopogo and cadboro
hi nan
got it, ty
yes, it's from the east, nan
well nan, I think of it as native american instead of canadian, if that helps you.
mmmm...the cadboro monster, must have chocolate
lived in PQ and ON for a total of 10+ years, but don't think I've heard of it
you don't watch or read enough sci-fi
nope -- like ogopogo he's another nessie
don't watch or read any of it
<-- was making a joke
I have heard of that
Breeze + me + present tense of went.
I didn't even see your joke because it wasn't there and now it is
ty matty -- a new one for me
It is the way people commonly mispronounce the character from Princess Bride (as if that will help Nan)
we've had it spelled we in the grid not too long ago
Dammit - I needed the list to find the hairy nosed dolphin. Slap me with a herring.
like blue/violet, molly? really? people do that?
I won't slap you Matty because inia isn't in the grid
could be carla -- if there are too many weird words I don't bother finishing the grid and I certainly don't bother looking up all the defs
Ah, wrong word - certainly
a clue for to5,16 please?
I don't bother finishing most grids, but I do look up definitions of words I don't know. It helps me learn them.
it's a hat, lindy.
It uses the high point tile, Lindy
Canadian hat
One that a wi7 might wear? ;)
oh,of course. thanks!
I can never rem. which is canadian, the to5 or the tu5, but I think the tu5 is what canadians call what we mountain folk call a toboggan.
a knitted cap
so used to skipping over that tile
I guess it's the to5 then
to 5 for the hat
Was that enough clues?
lol molly - perfect!
just looked up tu5 and it says "heavy stocking cap worn in Canada", so ha! canadians.
tu is also a spelling for the hat
to5 says a chef's hat
not here it isn't, Molly
Similar to the French Canadian Goose call - ho5
maybe regional because the canadians I know here (I used to play soccer with a couple) call it a tu5.
it's both....another spelling of tuque...
We here in these united states just call them knit hats
as I said, Pen --- had never seen it spelled that way before playing this game --- must be a USA spelling, not Canadian
nope
all kinds of names here in US
French Canadians called them tuques...
Will I have heard of the dw7?
as I mentioned, hillbillies (and possibly southerners) call them toboggans
d+reisling
Yep, that's the 5 - I have that one
Aaaaah - I'd missed the suffix. Thanks!
Sorry, add the gerund
gerund it, matty. never heard of either. so now I will look them up.
oh, no definition, you say
I've faded away (the state or action of waning or failing)
Another non-English word, courtesy of Enable
weird
Scottish, apparently
who'da thunk it
tuque could br a fench spelling, pen - but then French Canadians will pull into a service station and say "Changez les tires" and think they are speaking French, so who knows
Those Enable word nerds have an affection for Scot words
Nan, look it up. Tuque is another spelling of the hat.
I always try goya...
nan, if you look up the definition of tuque, it says a heaving knitted hat worn in Canada... ;o)
well, the canadians I know are not french canadian and use tuque. they also admit to poutine being a canadian thing which nan denies.
Everyone I know, including the Canadian I was married to, says poutine is Canadian.
I think nan just hides away in her little part of BC and doesn't notice anything else in the rest of the country.
Or the world.
I have never said that poutine isn't canadian -- I said it is a French Canaian thing --- contrary to what a lot of easterners think, Canada does not end at the Ontario-Manitoba border
With the exception of American politics : D
But she does pay attention to American politics.
^ If you haven't guessed, we westerners are a little touchy about being ignored all the time
Jinx Bea, you owe me a beer.
defniition.... Canadian a dish of chipped potatoes topped with curd cheese and a tomato-based sauce....never saw it with tomato sauce, though some people eat ketchup with poutine...
and what we're saying is the rest of canada and the world consider poutine a canadian thing, not a french canadian thing
Bea - we have no choice but to pay attention to American politics
Molly, did you see I got a new computer?
That's great Bea, what kind?
well, carla, it is a French word....
I really don't care what the rest of the world thinks, carla -- poutine originated in Quebec. Hyou people are impossible to talk to today, so Im out of here.
A dell
well pen, I would say to5 and tu5 are also both french, no?
both are French....i think tuque is more French Canadian...
Dell is my preference these days. So glad you finally got a new one. New computers are the best.
all that means is that I doubt tuque originated in France, but I could be wrong....
my laptop is a Dell as well...
Learning a new computer is not the best.
while both are hats, the definitions are actually pretty different. tuque clearly says heavy stocking cap in canada, and to5 says a close fitting women's hat or a chef's hat.
I think we are getting a little anal about this to5/tu5 thing.
yes, but tuque probably came from the other word....
Bea, what kind of computer did you have before?
sorry, am just frustrated
An IBM Thinkpad.
Sorry. That is all I know.
what are you frustrated about?
Oh jeeze, big difference then. Dell's are pretty easy to navigate once you get used to them.
nothing...moving on
Molly, I got creative with leftovers last night. A layer of dressing and turkey, a layer of cranberry sauce mixed with mayo, a layer of mashed potatoes mixed with mayo and shredded cheese and then another layer of dressing and turkey.
I pretty much defer to French Canadians when it comes to French Canadian words. *Nods to Saint Pen
:oD
sounds great, Bea!
i have a feeling i wouldn't care for poutine
I can guarantee you I wouldn't, ru
We make something like that around here Bea. Kind of a mish mash of all Thanksgiving leftovers. And of course, cheese.
it's not something i care for either....especially when it's cooled off a little....
It was good. Had cranberry sauce to add to the top if wanted.
Ru!
*waves to Bea*

Carla, I do my best not to use the language of my kids. I am no longer a thirtysomething and talking like one just seems foolish.
btw, now the th5 song is stuck in my head, and it's one of the worst songs ever.
turtle neck, sweater, warm leggings, fuzzy blanket, and furry hat. I'm warm enough.
how old are your kids?
oh and wool socks, and shoes.
28, 39 and 41.
mr homie is getting ready to go mountain biking and I was going to go but it's 46F here. no thanks.
Fire up the oven, lindy
i pronounce the knitted hat tuke, so if i were to be asked to spell it, i would go with tuque. when i lived in the states, a toque was a hat, pronounced toke. that's all i know :)
ok whew, looks like I can use the language of your kids then.
I always thought of the to word as a chefs hat until I started playing this game.
yes, bea, I'm thinking I should make lasagna or baked ravioli. and brownies.
you must have had kids really young molly
I never heard of the to5 until this game but knew the tu5
I did. I had my first two when I was twenty and twenty-two.
wow.. that's amazing
and yep, i've heard of to5 being a chef's hat, too. guess it's a tomato, tomahto thing
Eighteen months apart. They are referred to as "Irish twins" : D
< knew about toques from restaurants
and welki, you aren't french canadian??
How do you mmake the babble font bigger?
my mom & her sister are 14 months apart. they've always been very close.
nooooo - born and raised in brooklyn/queens, ny
I think we have developed THE DISCUSSION 2.0 today.
holding down control key and pressing "plus" works in most browsers to enlarge fonts
it's christmas time in hollis queens. mom's cooking chicken and collard greens.
it will make the rest of your screen a little blurry though
Thank you dan.
I didn't know you could do that. I just wear readers sometimes when I can't see the words here.
And that is a funny saying since collard greens are so southern and not at all New York
I've refreshed babble about 30 times because I keep making the font small somehow...
it's from a Run-DMC song. I'm guessing collard greens are like soul food as well as southern.
I love collard greens
I don't like them soupy and slimy.
Bea....ji just reverse pinch the touchpad to enlarge the image on the screen....
I'm guessing I don't like them
they are GF hokie :D
not really helping sell them
Thanks to Ru, I now have a new meaning for GF.
collard greens came north with the great migration to nearly all the big northern cities. they are "poor folk food" because collards are basically weeds that rich whites didn't care to eat
i like them with white balsamic, shallots and chopped bacon
I like mine blanced and then sauteed.
i saute mine too in just a little olive oil
It's all spinach to me, which is fine, I like spinach
dan, are you a food origins expert? ('cause you sound like it) interesting.
Thanks, pen. I'll get used t this thing soon.
That sounded like Wikipedia to me : D
haha
I'm glad Bea knew what "reverse pinch" meant. I didn't.
I mean, maybe he knows something about poutine ;)
you can pinch and reverse pinch on touchscreen things, like phones and kindles. never done that, molly?
Could someone please get Carla a tuque and a big bowl of poutine?
well, it'd have to be GF
I studied post-Civil War US history for a while when I thought I might teach. Then the internet happened
I despise touch screen. It gets fingerprints all over the screen.
mr. homie touches this macbook screen all the time and I"m like, "not a touchscreen. not a touchscreen." takes a few minutes for it to sink in.
Okay, then get Carla a good effing tuque and a good effing bowl of poutine.
miss2bit when she was not even three walked up to our television and tried to swipe it to another channel :-)
I have some tuques, only they are called toboggans here
now that's funny dan

i'm afraid to ask what an interrobang is
