Brandyjack left us a gift.

12:35 am

mab

Hurrah brandyjack!! Lucky us!!!!!

12:36 am

Debs40ish

Pressie....where where....lol

12:36 am

mab

Is it made out of chocolate?

12:37 am

Griffums

Woof

12:37 am

spatialbean

No chocolate just letters. Wow I could use some chocolate. Yum.

12:37 am

GreyWoulf

Woof Woof

12:37 am

Debs40ish

I've still got loads left from Xmas....

12:38 am

mab

Dark, slightly sweetened chocolate is a powerful anti-oxidant. Woof, griff!

12:38 am

mrpresident

se8/45

12:39 am

Griffums

Well, this'll be fun. I have a stats chart but only green where the grid is. I've been *saying* we needed to use wild cards!

12:39 am

mab

Brava mrpres.

12:39 am

mrpresident

Thanks mab.... typed forever!!

12:40 am

mab

It will be fun. It's much harder if you have to guess the letters.

12:40 am

Griffums

Or easier, I don't know. But anyway I can use the letters in the little yellow/gray boxes...and a magnifying glass

12:41 am

mab

When I figure out what it is, I'll try real hard not to post it in the log. Promise.

12:42 am

mab

Refreshing doesn't help, griff?

12:42 am

Griffums

Hasn't yet.

12:43 am

mab

Oh, looking back, brava Debs, x 2!

12:43 am

chic

Nite All, time to crash and burn, I can't keep up with you morning ones ;-)

12:44 am

Griffums

and what do you mean EEYORE isn't a valid word!

12:45 am

Dspanda

Can someone explain how the letter and number clues work, such as the clue se8/45?
Thanks!

12:46 am

mab

The word begin with se, has 8 letters, and is worth 45 points.

12:46 am

Debs40ish

se = what word begins with 8= how many letters 45=how many points...

12:47 am

spatialbean

maybe reboot griff?

12:47 am

Dspanda

Thank you, thank you. :)

12:48 am

Griffums

Don't want to reboot while I'm actually still getting words, but yeah, I think that's the answer. If it's still blank when I get back, I will know you all are pulling the green felt over my eyes.

12:48 am

mab

Also, Dspanda, if you click on Babblers Anonymous under friends of babble at the right, you will find a listing of how many words, first two letters, etc., under Stats. Copying and pasting the list is very helpful once you can no longer find words on your own.

12:49 am

Griffums

oh wait - there they are!

well, some of them

12:51 am

GreyWoulf

Well I just nodded off in front of the computer!

Will go to bed now -- -see everyone tomorrow!

(*Hugs to All*)

12:52 am

Griffums

night gw!

12:52 am

mab

By all means! Night GW.

12:53 am

Dspanda

Thanks for all the helpful info Mab.

12:54 am

spatialbean

Nite GW

12:54 am

mab

my pleasure.

12:56 am

Griffums

ok, there's the 7's and 8's, now it's time to start my backward plod through the alphabet...

12:56 am

Griffums

(I'm not boring and predictable, I'm consistent and reliable, yeah that's it)

12:59 am

mab

At least you have a method. I go along hither, and yes, thither.

1:00 am

Griffums

And yon as well, mab? I do that too - pick off the big ones, do a quick pass of whatever I see, and then I just start working it like a berry patch. Almost as tasty.

1:03 am

mab

Well... yes, yon as well. high and low, wide and far, stern to stem, etc.

1:11 am

mab

For some reason, possibly stupidity, I don't see the se. Just a wee cluey?

1:12 am

mab

I see the lipstick tree.

1:13 am

Griffums

Starts with that prefix for partial, end rhymes with the thing in the middle of your face x2 (which would look pretty weird)

1:13 am

mrpresident

Excellent little game this one!

1:14 am

Griffums

(er, with apologies to anyone here who has two of those in the middle of their face, in which case it looks incredibly distinguished...well, distinguishable)

1:14 am

mab

Thanks, grif. Eager to look that one up. Not that there's anything wrong with partial multiple features.

1:19 am

mrpresident

I keep typing newsmen!!

1:19 am

Griffums

Ha! I tried newsreel!

1:21 am

mab

My least favorite word and its plural, sn4 and 5.

1:22 am

Griffums

Really mab? Guess you won't be visiting me soon!

1:24 am

mab

no, not soon soon...

1:24 am

mrpresident

n7/32 is a great word to find!! monkey typed to get it though!

1:25 am

Griffums

Someone left a clue for that earlier - something about foes not friends, that's where I got it.

1:26 am

mab

Athough, think about it. Jan is nearly shot, Feb is a short month, March has warm moments, and then it's April. We're practically into Spring! It's just around the corner. Get out those seed catalogues.

1:27 am

Griffums

Oh, people here already have them out! We give our stuff a long head start indoors since can't usually plant outside until after Memorial Day.

1:29 am

Griffums

I hate, hate, hate, the RE's. I hate them and REhate them.

1:30 am

spatialbean

It's practically Thanksgiving!

1:30 am

mab

By the time we see the first crocus here in mass, it's nearly azalea season in DC. Where's the justice?

1:31 am

Griffums

tee hee spatial!

1:31 am

Griffums

That's your next novel, mab - Justice in the Azaleas

1:32 am

spatialbean

Yeah DC intrigue

1:33 am

mab

I'm polishing the menorah now. Just so I don't fall behind.

I'll bet I hate the re's more than you do, Griff. Enable is utterly random with its re's.

1:38 am

mab

We need to mobilize all the peoples of the world and help them relocate to their preferred climate. Climate Justice for all. All the coldblooded people, like my exhusband, could live in cooler climates and use less heating energy. People like me in hot areas, etc.

1:39 am

Griffums

Wonder what the population center of the planet would be then?

1:40 am

mab

Ok, I'm boring myself. must sleep as kitty progress report will be telephoned early in the morning. Later, wordies.

1:40 am

spatialbean

I think that's really a good idea.

1:41 am

Griffums

good luck with that, mab - looking forward to good news for the wee one. 'Night.

1:41 am

spatialbean

Nite Mab. YOu and the kitty are in my prayers.

1:41 am

mab

It could be a plank in a green party platform. hmmm...

1:42 am

mab

Oh, that's so sweet. Thanks.

1:42 am

spatialbean

I know how worried you are. It's gonna be fine.

2:08 am

sprite

Morning all :)

2:08 am

Griffums

Hi sprite!

2:09 am

speedfreak sam

hi everyone!

2:09 am

sprite

First word I see is my favorite S word... but I don't see a way to get it beyond 3 letters. What a way to start my day ;)

2:10 am

Griffums

hi sam!

2:11 am

speedfreak sam

can I have a clue for the eights please???

2:14 am

Griffums

Sam, see the log at 1.13 for the S clue

2:15 am

sprite

This grid is packed with dutch words. None of them valid. Argh.

2:15 am

Griffums

Well, I'm sure they're very valid to the Dutch, there there...

2:16 am

speedfreak sam

sorry griffums haven't learnt that in school yet.

2:16 am

sprite

Guess they are. Doesn't do me any good though ;)

2:17 am

Griffums

That prefix is also what you often hear people call an 18-wheeler truck.

2:17 am

Griffums

150 words 4.84 1891

And that's it for me, I'm so tired I can hardly think. 'Night all!

2:18 am

sprite

Sleep well, Griffs, congrats on finishing :D

2:18 am

Griffums

Tx sprite, see you soon

2:19 am

speedfreak sam

8:01 am

Ouwachita

DONE>>>anyone need a clue???

8:02 am

baggo

good so far.

8:02 am

EvaNadine

Ouwachita -- ive got the H8, whats the other?

8:02 am

Angelsong

clue for the lipstick tree?

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

dachef, re your earlier post about huey louis--can you believe he's the new male lead in "Chicago" on Broadway?!

8:04 am

Ouwachita

evan...do you want the h7?? if so, take off the plural

8:04 am

Dachef

une - as long as he can tapdance he'll be ok! Cant do much worse than Richard Gere in that film "adaptation"!

8:05 am

EvaNadine

no, the other 8, please
:)

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

oh, dachef, I loved Richard Gere in the adaptation . . . you know, he started out on Broadway in Grease, right? Re the adaptation itself, it was definitely a "Lite" version of the musical.

8:06 am

Ouwachita

se8...half of the os4/4

8:06 am

lola100

baggo, still enjoying the new job?

8:07 am

baggo

se8/45
18 wheeler (slang) + what you smell with (pl) minus the first letter

8:07 am

Dachef

yeh - but its not the same as being live on stage. its difficult to make a musical into a succesful movie - by taking it off the stage you lose the magic!

does anyone have the en7/32?

8:08 am

EvaNadine

thanks Ouwachita and baggo!

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

film adaptation of Phantom of the Opera . . . let's not even go there . . . groan

8:08 am

Ouwachita

en7/32...another word for your foes

8:08 am

baggo

i absolutely love the new job, theres lots to learn, and i am amazed every day by the things people do to get themselves in the er...had a girlfriends husband die, while i haven't been on much. her kids and relatives all would play under my name...

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

I DID like the film adaptation of Evita but then I melt over Antonio!

8:10 am

Ouwachita

Antonio does nothing for me...but then I am not that kind of guy

8:10 am

lola100

baggo, great news about the job...you are going to have to start telling us some of the funnier stories! Sorry about your friend though : (

8:12 am

Dachef

I avoided the film version of Evita cos i saw it on stage and it was beautiful - I didnt want the illusions to be shattered. Then one day I came home and my flatmate was watching it - I joined her and cried my eyes out!!1

8:13 am

Dachef

ouwachita - got it, thanx! Talk about obvious! Got all the dodgy m words straight away and then miss that one!

8:13 am

baggo

thanks lola...my husband says do you realize that you find humor in other peoples misery..which is kinda sick when you think about it. :-) i'm truly amazed so far at what adults will do while drinking...chainsaws and alcohol don't mix...but what's amazing is that they leave after stitches. none have had to have surgery..

8:14 am

Uneaixoise

ahhh, i can imagine . . . on a different note . . . that is, adapting film for stage musical--just saw Spamalot in NYC and would see it again and again and again--witty, hilarious, clever, charming--I'm not a big laugh outloud kinda theatre person but I howled thru the whole thing!!!

8:15 am

lola100

baggo, I guess so but I always think if you're gonna be that stupid you deserve to be laughed at! : D

8:17 am

baggo

very true....we're serious while we need to be...but man...and the people with animals where they should not be...that one freaked me out a bit...lets just say a woman with a gerbil....

8:17 am

lola100

Eeeeeeeewwwwww! : D

8:18 am

Judi

Hi, kids. Hope this puzzle is a little less gnarly than yesterday's. For some reason, that one gave me fits.

8:18 am

baggo

i'm not a little rodent kind of person...it was all i could do to assist...

8:18 am

Dachef

une - spamalot? Dunno that one, but Im guessing it has to do with the Python boys....?

baggo - defo tell us all the humorous stories - esp when people insert things into places they were not supposed to go. Always hilarious.

8:18 am

baggo

i'm not sure what kind of pleasure that would bring..

8:19 am

Bubbles

hi guys ; )

8:19 am

lola100

Hi judi : )

Baggo, again, eeeeewwwww!!! : D

8:19 am

Uneaixoise

basically the stage version of the Holy Grail . . . fabulous and wonderful!

8:19 am

lola100

Hi bubbles! How you doing? Have a nice festive season? : )

8:20 am

baggo

hi all who just joined....
Just picture it, nurse who has only dealt with babies for her career and on day 2 this is what i get

8:20 am

circe

Waves morning to all

Trying desperately to imagine the thought process or conversation leading up to that incredibly stupid idea.

and what about animal cruelty? aren't there laws protecting the poor creatures?

8:21 am

Bubbles

i'm good thanks. You? Had a lovely christmas, i've was obviously a good girl last year as santa bought me lots of nice presents!!

Did you have a good one?

8:21 am

lola100

But baggo, I am trying so hard NOT to picture it! : / lol!

8:22 am

baggo

oh yeah and it was still alive but barely when we finally got it out...(she took it home with her)

8:22 am

Uneaixoise

noooooooooooooooooo

8:22 am

lola100

Hi circe! : )

bubbles, me too! Although I didn't think I was that good... ; )

8:22 am

Dachef

I have a friend who works in a hospital and he relayed to me one day the hilarious tomato sauce bottle escapade.

Basically, this guy was admitted with a bottle of ketchup where no bottle of ketchup was designed to go. Apparently the conversation with the doctor went something like this:
Doctor: how did it happen?
Man: I came home with the shopping, only to realise that I had locked myself out. I climbed a ladder to the first floor, where there was an open window, and slipped. I fell onto my grocery bags, which had a bottle of ketchup inside, and thats how it happened. Honest."
Doctor: fair enough. So how did the bottle of ketchup have a condom on it?

Priceles.

8:22 am

circe

*GASP*

8:22 am

lola100

You let her take it home with her??

8:23 am

lola100

dachef- LOL!!! : D

8:24 am

baggo

it was hers...they guy took his chainsaw blade home with him too...

dachef very true they all say they "fell" onto objects...this girl wouldn't say a word as to how it got up there she told us to think what we wanted just please get it out...

8:25 am

baggo

legally she or he could've sued the hospital for not returning their property if they wanted...so unless the cops want it (murder etc) then they get their stuff back...

8:26 am

Norad

Good morning babblers...*waves sleepily*...I started the grid too late last night, but of course didn't finish. Any clues for the ey 7 or the oy 7, last of the big ones for me... p.s. baggo, was she very drunk or high?

8:26 am

Bubbles

i'm gonna be really naughty this year and see if he still comes!!

8:26 am

baggo

i believe...(don't know other than the smell) that some pot was involved..

8:27 am

baggo

what nice presents did you guys get??? i got an ipod shuffle..

8:27 am

lola100

bubbles, LOL!....me too! ; )

8:28 am

lola100

*lola is no longer talking to baggo as that is what she wanted...and didn't get*

8:29 am

baggo

i should send it to you and i wanted jewelry and didn't get any...;-( my son has the mini, which i use so i'm not sure why my hubby got me this

8:29 am

lola100

Hi norad! For the ey7 take one of what you see with and add a so4/5 (sounds like addition in maths).

8:31 am

lola100

....and the oy7 is the plural of the oy4/6 : )

8:32 am

lola100

baggo, lol! I got a new computer because the old one blew up. I can finally play the fourth edition of Myst...which i got for xmas last year : )

8:32 am

Jacula

Hi folks. Have been splitting my sides reading Baggo and Dachef's hospital tales. I've saved them to notepad to show Paul later end entitled it 'Baggo's Adventures in Casualty'. Baggo - glad you're enjoying your new job. I think you should start a blog on BabAnon with the title I gave the notepad stuff.:-))))

8:33 am

Norad

Thanks lola, got them both...

8:33 am

circe

waves to Jacula and Norad - morning..

don't gerbils BITE??? *still shaking head over that one*

8:33 am

lola100

Hi jacs! What a good idea! baggo, you could do it in the form of a diary : )

8:34 am

Jacula

Hiya Circe. My aunt & uncle both work in a hospital and, believe me, the gerbil tale is not uncommon! As for biting, I doubt the poor thing can even breathe, let alone bite, when trapped in a place a gerbil was never meant to be!

8:35 am

EvaNadine

missing a 7 -- i have:

en7 32
ey7 40
ho7 36
me7 32
mo7 32

you're missing em7--plural of em5

8:36 am

Angelsong

baggo I got an amethyst hearts bracelet and a sapphire and diamond pendant for christmas...

8:36 am

Norad

hi circe, great snowman...

8:36 am

circe

good point Jacula -
guess I was just thinking the poor thing would panic -
for pete's sake some people just should not be left unsupervised.

8:37 am

Uneaixoise

LOL, circe!!!!

8:37 am

circe

thanks Norad - tho haven't seem much snow yet this winter here.
refresh if you want scenery for today's theme.

8:38 am

baggo

sorry was on the phone...**not talking to angelsong*** :-D i should start a diary on bab...

8:39 am

Norad

hmmmm...any scenery or mountains?

8:39 am

Jacula

Baggo - Please do! It doesn't have to be all funny tales, of course, but I think it would make fascinating reading.

8:40 am

circe

oh yes Baggo - do please.
(received a much needed but very unromantic vacuum)

8:40 am

EvaNadine

thanks!
got all the biggies now.
:)

8:40 am

baggo

I went a searching on the internet after this episode...and just ignore if you don't want to read...but lets just say that the said person wants the animal to "panic" cause that is where they get their pleasure from most times it is the other orifice that one puts the "gerbil" in...

8:41 am

Jacula

My icon scene is one of our holiday photos from 3 years ago - a wonderful silver sunset as we took our nightly walk along the beach. There's also one of that scene with me in a bikini standing in the middle of it but I'm not putting that one on!

8:41 am

circe

for crying out loud!!!!

am I really that naive???
ew.

8:41 am

baggo

and a 2 years olds nose has the capacity to hold 17 raisins...

8:42 am

lola100

norad, any scenery I believe. Mine is of my beloved Drakensberg in Natal, South Africa....my favourite place to go camping : )

8:42 am

circe

spews coffee on monitor
LOL

8:42 am

baggo

cice...no more than I was..all of the "oldtimers" in the ER were laughing at me...

8:42 am

baggo

oops that should be ciRce...

8:43 am

lola100

baggo, I believe my cousin holds that record, lol! : D

8:44 am

Dachef

Im 29, and Ive just managed to hold 23 raisins in both nostrils at the same time. Do I win a prize?

8:44 am

Dachef

Hold on, 24.

8:44 am

baggo

dachef you take it...do you need help getting them out....i would gladly volunteer..

8:45 am

Jacula

Baggo - If you continue in that job you will expand your capacity for amazement. People insert all manner of things where things should not be inserted. Then they get them stuck and have to think up 'plausible' reasons as to how the things got 'there' when they have to ask for medical help. I must ring my aunt and uncle and ask them to refresh my memory on some of the things they've seen.

8:45 am

lola100

dachef...24?? What would you like?! : D

8:45 am

Dachef

25

8:45 am

circe

so, is that 17 raisins before the parent even notices that the child has placed foreign objects up his nose, or before the child screams so much that the parents need to have the child attended to?? Is this some sort of predictive behavior - perhaps the 2 yr old is a future gerbil patient???

8:45 am

lola100

LOL!

8:45 am

Jacula

Dachef - Whatever you do, DON'T SNEEZE! LOL.

8:46 am

baggo

lol jacula...or inhale too deeply...

8:46 am

lola100

circe...LOL! ...and eeeewwww! : D

8:46 am

Dachef

too late!

If I put them back in the pack, do you think anyone will notice?

8:47 am

circe

24? good lord

8:47 am

Jacula

I could sit here all day enjoying this wonderful log conversation but, sadly, I must away at 101 words found... do some work. I will return! Thanks for the laughs, and the clues, folks.:-))xx

8:47 am

baggo

the parents weren't watching the child...football was on...that was dad's quote...and the mom said she knew there wasn't enough time for the child to have eaten them...and she saw one...and freaked...did i mention that kid came in by ambulance???

8:47 am

Jera

Lovely conversation I got here just in time for... Sprite once shoved a pokemon counter pebble up her nose... actually had the sense to come & tell me... she sneezed it out just as the ER doc was coming at her with the pincer thing to shove up her nose... she NEVER put anything up her nose again...

8:48 am

lola100

Thanks dachef...never going to be able to look at a raisin the same way ever again. Probably won't be able to eat them anymore either!

8:48 am

Dachef

baggo - do you do house calls? I can only find 22.

8:48 am

baggo

why not put them on the menu at your restaurant dachef...

8:49 am

baggo

i'm on my way....lola fire up the jet

8:49 am

Jera

baggo

jera 2

8:52 am

baggo

8:53 am

Jera

I thought the two year old was 17 raisins... or are we talking multiple incidents?

8:53 am

Dachef

I think I've developed a raisin allergy.

Anyone got a clue for the er6/30?

8:53 am

baggo

lola how's anj???

8:53 am

lola100

Oh goodness baggo, don't encourage him!!! : D

8:54 am

Jera

8:54 am

lola100

baggo, he's fine. He'll probably be around later, I'll tell him you say hi if you miss him : )

8:55 am

baggo

dachef it means heretofore or before this moment if that helps

jera there are 2 dachef go for the world's record mine from work

8:55 am

baggo

did he find work? or has he tried yet???

8:55 am

lola100

dachef, take an old fashioned word for before (three latters and add the opp of later : )

8:56 am

Jera

Oh now I remember... I need help with the el, please... all the raisin talk distracted me, LOL

8:56 am

lola100

baggo, not yet but I think this week is the start of some serious looking : )

8:57 am

Dachef

got it - thanx baggo and Lola.

All words begiining with vowels should be banned. Thank God there are no a's today.

8:57 am

baggo

el + the first thre letters of em4/5

8:57 am

lola100

jera, the first four letters sound like the beginning of what you call primary school and then add the 'me' vowel : )

8:58 am

baggo

i agree dachef...i'm not very fond of those nasty little vowels

8:58 am

Jera

Well, of course, why didn't I see that? Why, I use that word every day! *laughs hysterically*

8:59 am

baggo

here is the real def but i didn't think that it would help...cause i too use it everyday...lol
Any of various oily resins derived from certain tropical trees, especially Canarium luzonicum of the Philippines, and used in making varnishes and inks.

9:01 am

lshult

Hi eveyone.

lola100

ishult, there are two plurals of the opp of no : )

9:03 am

Dachef

bye baggo - when you come back be sure to bring the raisin extractor with you. Stating to get a bit worried now. How long does a raisin take to dissolve?

9:03 am

Jera

I have the Y's Ishult... whattya need?

9:30 am

harpjane

Does anyone have the ho words?

9:31 am

FMitch

or5/10
your TV needs an ar*** to receive pictures just change the 1st letter. or6 is the pl

9:32 am

Dachef

Or, phonetically, the sound of a prostitute whining. ;)

9:33 am

Dachef

Fmitch - thankyou. and thankyou, and thankyou.....

FMitch

en7 - *we are friends not en7*

9:39 am

Judi

Completely stumped by the Ri5-12. Any hints?

9:39 am

Dachef

en7 = arch en***** - such as batman and the Joker.

em6/21 = The Joker and the Penguin where Batman's ne7/32. Take that word and drop the n for the em6/21.

9:39 am

lshult

good clue FMitch, ty

9:41 am

lshult

excellent clue Dachef, didn't have the n7 yet, so 2 for the price of 1, ty

9:42 am

Judi

Never mind. I had the Ri5-12. I'm just blind.

10:51 am

10:51 am

Blaze

10:52 am

10:54 am

hurshy

and can i have a clue for er6?

10:54 am

Blaze

My instant menopause was not my choice or disease... I had scar tissue that caused a strangulation.... already had two kids... so it was great news all around...

11:06 am

bunnyvicious

So does your body just heal itself, bring the tubes back together? I'd have to store another one in the attic!

11:06 am

Blaze

shorty... I think the body rebuilds itself sometimes... or the doctors do a lousy job.... either way it can be shocking and sad...and some times unexplainable...

A sensible one for once! You have made my day. A woman in UK died a couple of years ago - maternity unit was too busy with routine inductions (on 40 year old dodgy evidence base) so she and baby died of eclampsia while waiting for attention. Ind. seems to be used to shut up litigationists rather than in cases of necessity. Arghhhh. Guess what my soap box is!

7:15 pm

snowyowl

bye JB ty for your company

7:15 pm

snowyowl

Hi Jacula!

7:16 pm

Jacula

Mama - Hi again. Yes, I always tell people who greet me with 'Hi Jac!' never to say it to me on a plane! On one forum I used to go on there was a thread where a group of us used to regularly 'meet': me, Jean and Rick. Rick got such a kick out of saying, 'Hi Jac!' and 'Hi Jean!' that eventually we got him back by saying, 'Hey Rick!':)

7:16 pm

mamabear

bye JB - thanks!!!! and thanks for the clues.... watch for the pits in those olives, now!!!!! LOL

7:22 pm

Haz1558

Jacula

7:27 pm

Jacula

Snowy - Get yourself some 'Drocera' from the health food shop. My Mum swears by it for coughs. Sleep well.

7:27 pm

ExWren

I was just about to give up on finding the last re5/10 when I saw une's 7.08 posting. thanks for that. I can go to bed now. Goodnight all

7:27 pm

mamabear

good nite snowy!!!! and yet ANOTHER member of the coughing club!!!! I am in same boat..... take care!

7:28 pm

mamabear

what is Drocera, Jac?

7:28 pm

Jacula

*Drosera.

7:30 pm

Jacula

Drosera is mainly a cough remedy and is especially useful in whooping cough. Drosera was used by physicians in the sixteenth century for treating tuberculosis.

It's made from an insect-eating plant.

7:31 pm

Jacula

Drosera's key uses are for the following:

* Violent, hollow, barking coughs
* Difficulty breathing
* Growing pains and bone pain

7:32 pm

speedfreak

Jacula: can you get that Drocera without a Dr. I have had a horrible cough for over a week now....also anyone have a clue for the first m7 word down to 5 all M words

7:34 pm

mamabear

et tu? speedfreak?????? That settles it - everyone disinfect your keyboards - we are being attacked!

7:34 pm

Jacula

Speedfreak, you can get it without prescription here in UK from Health food shops. I don't know if the same applies in the USA.

7:35 pm

mamabear

speedfreak - the m 7 sounds the same phonetically as the mi 6/21

7:35 pm

speedfreak

This has been the worst season for nasty cold symptoms, just get over one and get another!!!

7:36 pm

Jacula

Mama - THANK YOU! You've just given me mi6/21.

7:37 pm

Jacula

A clue for mi4/7?

7:37 pm

speedfreak

THANK YOU! Been after that for awhile

7:37 pm

mamabear

*mamabear humbly bows*

7:37 pm

mamabear

mi 4/7 - same as mi 4/5 above it, remove last letter and add sometimes vowel

7:38 pm

speedfreak

ok need the me5/12 and me6/21 before the one where you make a me-- of your room.

7:38 pm

Jacula

Thanks, Mama. Do you know, I could swear I tried that earlier. *Tuts*

7:39 pm

mamabear

me 5/12 - me + a male offspring (not daughter, but..) and me 6 is the plural

7:40 pm

Jacula

me5/12 & pl. 6/21 - sounds like the French for house OR 'this is myself (short word for that) and my male offspring.

7:41 pm

speedfreak

Please don't hate me now missing the me5/12 right above that last clue Thanks for those got them!!!

7:42 pm

mamabear

me 5/12 - me + you get a tickle in your nose that makes you ***eze

7:43 pm

Jacula

Speedfreak - 'hate' you for asking for clues?? We LOVE giving clues.

7:44 pm

speedfreak

You Are Awesome I am now finished...going to get some Vicks on my chest and hope to sleep in between coughing!!! Thank you I was just about ready to quit..

7:44 pm

Jacula

I'm after the me4/5 & me/12 after the cat calls and before the body of water, pretty please?

7:44 pm

mamabear

Jacula is right! In fact, I think it is a proven fact that if you try to enter "hate" in the word box, it comes up with "oops - that is not a valid word in Babbleonia" LOL

7:45 pm

LUCKY

me 5 /12 the one after the me5/16
me 5/12 the next one in the list and the following
me 6/21 the first me 6/21!
three missing me's in a row who can help me please???

7:45 pm

mamabear

me 4 & 5 - I am not really here, I am a ****ly a figment of your imagination. me 5 is more so

7:45 pm

Jacula

Speedfreak - Get someone else to rub the Vick on your chest; it's more fun! LOL. Sleep as well as you can.

7:46 pm

mamabear

lucky - see my post at 7:42 for the first me 5/12

7:47 pm

speedfreak

LOL Jacula
Lucky think your clues are right below you post Mama Bear and Jacula just gave a lot of me for me:)!!!

7:47 pm

Jacula

Mama - I have those. I must have written them in the wrong place. It's the one's after that I need then...

7:47 pm

mamabear

for the next me 5 & me 6 - see my post at 7:39

7:48 pm

mamabear

Mr. Haggard's first name and the plural

7:49 pm

speedfreak

Jacula It could be the one that means blackbird or
________ Haggard Country singer

7:49 pm

LUCKY

jera please help since you're don
me 3x right after me 5/1 6 M.. Christmas
I'm on my knees !

7:49 pm

Jacula

Got those too, Mama. Now I'm getting confused! It's the 8th & 9th or 10th & 11th me's in the list that I need.

7:50 pm

Jacula

Mama & Speedfreak - Gottem! T/y.

7:51 pm

mamabear

there are 3 in the Haggard family - one 4 letter and 2 5 letter - one plural and one with an Ending vowEl

7:51 pm

mamabear

Lucky - I'm not sure which ones you are asking for...

7:53 pm

Jacula

It was getting the blackbird one (that I know as a type of border collie, a blue me***), that confused me. I got that right at the start of the day.

7:53 pm

mamabear

Lucky - if it's the 3 after the M**** Christmas word, then see my posts at 7:39 and 7:42 for those clues

7:54 pm

Jacula

*Jac scans the grid in hope of finding the first ri4/4 and 5/10.*

7:55 pm

Jacula

She shoots! She scores!

7:55 pm

mamabear

ri + **evator going up! and plural

7:55 pm

mamabear

sorry for the premature clue!

7:55 pm

Jacula

8 words to go...

7:56 pm

Jacula

Don't be sorry, Mama. Even if I didn't need it, others might!

7:56 pm

mamabear

I am finished, Jac, so if you would like a clue, say the word!!!!!

7:57 pm

Jacula

Yes please, Mama. The le5/10 ad le4/4 following it (after the yellow fruits) are eluding me.

7:58 pm

mamabear

le 5/10 - your meat is not fatty, but le** (spelled phonetically)
le 4 - the last name of a male evening talk show host

8:00 pm

mamabear

oops sorry - throw a squiggly letter on to that meat clue word

8:01 pm

Jacula

Mama - Got the 4 now (wouldn't have done if I didn't have SKY tv though!) but the 5's still eluding me. It's the 5/10 straight after the plural yellow citrus that I need.

8:03 pm

mamabear

take your le 5/10 that means your contact le*** and change the letter order around

8:04 pm

Jacula

Got that. It must be the 5/10 after the chat show host I need! I really must pay more attention to how I write my words on my paper list.

8:05 pm

mamabear

oh that is easy - just plural your talk show guy

8:05 pm

Jacula

Scrub that! More than one chat show host. Got it. Thank you!x

8:06 pm

mamabear

Lucky - are you still there and hunting?

8:06 pm

Jacula

It's very quiet in here right now, Mama, isn't it?

8:07 pm

Jacula

I guess it's changeover time when most sane Brits and Europeans are sleeping and the other side of The Pond are busy elsewhere.

8:07 pm

mamabear

yes it is...... *tumbleweed goes rolling through Babbleonia and the wind gently whistles through the leafless trees*

8:08 pm

mamabear

Is it around 2 am-ish by you Jac?

8:08 pm

Jacula

Yes. Mama. 2:08 to be precise.

8:09 pm

LUCKY

Mamabear thanks got the male offspring but do not understand 7: 4 2 me + **eze the ticke in the nose
please another clue for that one?

8:09 pm

mamabear

I normally would not be here either on a Wednesday nite - it is a choir nite but this coughing is preventing that

8:10 pm

mamabear

Lucky
me + the first three letters of the word ***eze (achoo!)

8:11 pm

Jacula

Lucky - if something irritates your nose, you expel the air violently with a sn****. Those 1st 3 letter of that word give you your last 3 letters of the word you seek.

8:12 pm

Jacula

Mama - I'd check with your health food store about the 'Drosera'. It may help.

8:12 pm

mamabear

Thanks, Jac - I will try to do that!

8:12 pm

mamabear

how are you doing on word count, Jac? Lucky?

8:13 pm

Jacula

Oh!:( Just checking what em's I need, I discovered I don't have er6/30.

8:13 pm

Jacula

6 words left to find here, Mama.

8:14 pm

mamabear

er 6 - er + second vowel + don't do it later, do it ***!

8:15 pm

LUCKY

thanks jacula and Mama got it
mi 5/12 amd mo 6/21

8:15 pm

Jacula

Words still to find:

em5/12, 1st em6/21, 2nd em6/21, last em4/5.
er6/30
Last se4/4

8:16 pm

mamabear

mi 5/12 is plural of 4/5 above it

8:17 pm

LeslieAnn

er 6 - er + vowel + at this moment

8:17 pm

mamabear

mo 6 - there are 2 that work off of the mo 4 that is the green stuff that grows in the shade, commonly found at the base of a tree - one of the 6's is the plural and the other is one who would care for it

8:17 pm

Jacula

Thanks for the er6, Mama. LOL. That's something I often hear young mothers yelling at their small children these days, preceded by 'ger'. Translates as, 'Get away from there, dear, and come to me.' Hmmm.

8:18 pm

gwenski

1st em5/12, em6/21, and last em4/5 are all related. Think prince or ruler in middle east.

8:18 pm

mamabear

em 5 - em + the appendage on the side of your head that allows you to hear, spelled with a double first vowel. the next 6 is the plural

8:19 pm

mamabear

second em 6/21 - add es to the em4 above it

8:20 pm

LUCKY

Down to my last three wordss total
mi 4/5
mi 5/12
mi 6/21
Mama I have a mi 4/5 but cannot pluralize it...
is it maybe the other one I still need?

8:20 pm

mamabear

last se 4 - think of the movie "To *** with love" but change the vowel to an e and plural it

8:22 pm

mamabear

the other mi 4/5 - mi + my boyfriend just gave me a ring and now we are **gaged! (add the ** to the mi) and then plural for the mi 5

8:22 pm

gwenski

mi6/21 = me7/32 minus the e

8:22 pm

LUCKY

Mama I have the one mi 4/5 which means slimy soil

8:23 pm

mamabear

mi 6/21 - mi + the romantic flowerS that you give for ValentineS Day - minuS the firSt letter and plural it

8:24 pm

mamabear

Jac - last em 4/5 - is em + 3rd vowel and consonant (vowel and cons together sound like appendage on side of head once again)

8:24 pm

Jacula

Gwenski - got all but the first em5 & 6 from your clues. You helped me get my written list in order. Thanks.

8:26 pm

Jacula

Anyone got a clue for the last se4/4 while I struggle with the Eastern ruler related em's? (Got the Eastern ruler already, btw.)

8:26 pm

gwenski

Take your last em4/5 and replace the middle vowel with a double vowel. Different spelling for same thing.

8:27 pm

Sushi

I am new and will have to learn but you are using codes I cannot yet understand. What is ri4/4 and 5/10? Newbies!

8:28 pm

Jacula

Gwenski - Gottem. Thank you!

8:28 pm

gwenski

ri5/10 means that the word starts with ri, contains 5 letters, and has a point value of 10.

8:28 pm

LUCKY

THANK YOU ALL PLURALIZED
I HAVE FINISHED FOR THE SECOND TIME EVER
WHO WANT A GIN AND TONIC TO CELEBRATE??

8:29 pm

Jacula

Sushi. Welcome to Babbleonia. 're' means the word begins with the letters 're' 5/12 means it is 5 letters long and worth 12 points. To see how all this works click on 'Babble rules'.

8:29 pm

Sushi

thanks Gwenski! So far I have 327 points so not too bad for a novice!

8:30 pm

gwenski

Congrats, Lucky! Just pour me a diet cola or plain bottled water, please.

8:30 pm

mamabear

Jac - clue for the se 4 at 8:20

8:30 pm

Sushi

Thansk Jacula. Rules, smules, it is more fun to chat.

8:30 pm

Jacula

Well done, Lucky! A G& T sounds lovely, thank you. Want a slice of lemon to go in yours? *Jac hands the lemon bowl over.*

8:31 pm

gwenski

I'll take a lemon, too, please.

8:31 pm

mamabear

Good job Lucky - but gin and I don't get along.... make mine a rum & coke!
Hi Sushi - sorry - I stepped away for a minute and missed your entrance! Welcome to Babbleonia!

8:31 pm

Jacula

Mama - wil check back for the se clue. Thanks.

Sushi - Chatting is fun but knowing how the scoring works DOES help! (See Babble rules.) LOL.

8:31 pm

Octarine

8:32 pm

Jac - do you really think you should be using that particular citrus fruit today???? LOL

8:33 pm

gwenski

Oops. Sorry. I did it too.

8:34 pm

mamabear

It grows on ya, Octarine, just like mo 4/5 on a tree!

8:34 pm

Jacula

Mama - OOPS!

8:34 pm

Jacula

Mind you, it makes a change for a Babbleword to be one in everyday use!

8:35 pm

mamabear

you're both in luck - this happens to be "no time outs for listing grid words Wednesday!"..... yeah, really!!! It's on MY calendar!!!!

8:35 pm

LUCKY

Drinks are on the house tonight and I toast to everyone

8:35 pm

Sushi

8:35 pm

mamabear

good nite Lucky!!! Thanks for the drink!!!

8:36 pm

gwenski

Thanks for the reprieve, Mama. Now I can sign off with a clear conscience.

8:36 pm

LUCKY

8:37 pm

mamabear

(((((Lucky))))))))

8:37 pm

Jacula

Goodnight Lucky. Sweet (Babblefree) dreams.

Mama - my calendar says it's my best friend's 49th birthday (tee, hee) and another friend's son's 25th birthday. (Good grief! I remember him 5 minutes ago when he was still 'a lump'!)

8:37 pm

mamabear

Jac - you all done too?

8:38 pm

Jacula

Grant - Thanks for the clue but I haven't been able to work it out.

8:39 pm

Octarine

does anyone else print out the two letter combos on a single page and strike them out as you solve them?

8:39 pm

mamabear

se 4/4 - Yes *** that's my baby, no *** I don't mean maybe," Only change the vowel to an e and add an s at the end

8:39 pm

aknitter

raises hand high, that is how i solve, with a list

8:40 pm

mamabear

Oh yes Octarine!!!!! Couldn't do it without it.

8:40 pm

aknitter

oh please no singing tonight

8:40 pm

Jacula

Octarine - I write the bloody words by the combos, never mind strike them out! LOL. Thing is, I don't always write them in the right order - hence the confusion at times. :-(

8:41 pm

mamabear

hi ak - sorry. will try to control myself *mamabear hums quietly to herself*

8:41 pm

Octarine

yeah Ihavent figured out the order thing yet so I just keep plugging away.

8:41 pm

Jacula

Oh, yet another case of me writing it down wrongly... It's not the last se4 I need but the one before it. *Sighs and slaps self with a wet fish.*

8:41 pm

mamabear

so Jac, do we have our se?

8:42 pm

Jacula

No, Mama, 'we' don't!

8:43 pm

aknitter

evening mamabear, just got in. i am off to a late start tonight!!

8:43 pm

Jacula

Hi AKnitter! Don't you want us to serenade you as you Babble? *Looks hurt and cries quietly into keyboard.*

8:44 pm

mamabear

the se 4 above it is se + the joint in the middle of your leg minus the first and last letters

8:44 pm

aknitter

oh don't cry into your key board it will short it out!!!! -- Hands tissue to jac

8:45 pm

mamabear

besides, if I could sing tonite, ak, I would be at choir rehearsal. Hope this infernal coughing isn't annoying you nice people.

8:45 pm

LeslieAnn

i am having issues with these ho's... any help?

8:46 pm

Jacula

Got it, Mama. A regular Babbleword and I didn't see it! *Slaps self with large frozen fish.*

AKnitter - Thank you. *Blows nose noisily after wiping eyes.*

8:46 pm

aknitter

hot tody for your cough??? holds out a cup

8:46 pm

mamabear

LOL LeslieAnn!!!
when a boy goes through puberty, his ho****** are running rampant.

8:46 pm

Jacula

LeslieAnn - Issues with ho's? Maybe the police could help?:)

8:47 pm

aknitter

lol jac, i was thinking the same thing

8:47 pm

mamabear

thanks ak - never turn down a toddy!!!! mmmmmmmm

8:48 pm

Jacula

I've still got a stack of mulled wine mix left over from Christmas. Shall I make a pan up for us all? We can have oranges and le6/21s in it, too.

8:48 pm

LeslieAnn

seriously... yesterday i was trying to give someone a clue for "hoofs" so i said "these are the ho's that horses clomp around on" which looking back was hilarious

8:48 pm

mamabear

is tomorrow comic day? I am an icon behind. Here I am the one that suggested flowers and scenery and I am not participating .... bad mamabear

8:49 pm

aknitter

mulled wine please! i have a large glass here

8:49 pm

mamabear

what is mulled wine?

8:50 pm

aknitter

oh mulled wine is yummy, better than a hot tody. spices and fruits into your simmering wine. i get all gooshy thinking about it. the warmth starts your toes and quickly rises

8:51 pm

aknitter

SIGH

8:51 pm

mamabear

sounds heavenly!!! COUNT ME IN!!!!

8:52 pm

Jacula

Mama - Yes, it's scandalous that you are not participating in your own icon day!

Mulled wine is a good red wine that's heated (not boiled!) with spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, and has citrus fruits and perhaps apples (sliced and chopped, all) in it, too.

8:52 pm

Jacula

LeslieAnn - Oh dear! I now have a vision of 'women of the night' being stomped on by horses.

8:54 pm

Jacula

'Stirrup Cup', traditionally drunk before Winter Hunts, packs more a a punch as it also contains port and brandy or the like.

8:55 pm

mamabear

farbeit for me to be scandalous.... please REFRESH

8:55 pm

Jacula

Mama - I meant to put some Christmas drinks recipes into BabAnon but I got caught up with making gingerbread houses and mince pies, and so didn't have the time.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Mama - That heavenly looking beach has redeemed you!:-)

8:56 pm

mamabear

put it on your to-do list for next Christmas!!!

8:56 pm

Octarine

flowers and scenery...my icon even matches in a way! Its light on water

8:56 pm

mamabear

That is Ormond Beach on the east coast of Florida. I vacationed there 2 years ago... was beautiful.

8:56 pm

aknitter

what is today's theme anyway?

8:57 pm

mamabear

today is scenery pics, ak!

8:57 pm

aknitter

oh, brb, i must go and change!!!

8:57 pm

Jacula

My icon, as I said earlier in the day, is from my photo album. It was taken on holiday 3 years ago in North Wales - a silver sunset that occurred as we took our nightly stroll along the beach. I chose NOT to put up the version of it with me in the middle in a bikini (despite Paul's pleas for me to do so!)

8:58 pm

mamabear

you're right, Octarine! your icon is very relaxing!

8:59 pm

mamabear

LOL Jac!!!!! A beautiful sunset.... I absolutely adore the ocean

8:59 pm

mamabear

done with grid Jac?

8:59 pm

Octarine

what is this..."sun"... you speak of? Its been grey for weeks here in Chicago, at least its not freezing anymore

8:59 pm

Jacula

Octarine - you saying light on the water has now got me humming Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water'.

9:00 pm

aknitter

i'm back, refresh for japan

9:01 pm

Jacula

Goodness me, AKnitter, you got to Japan fast! Did you resurrect Concorde?

9:02 pm

Jacula

Mama, yes. Sorry, forgot to say I AM ALL DONE WITH THE GRID.

*Checks back. No, I didn't forget to say. I said so at 8:46.* LOL.

9:02 pm

aknitter

i did dig up that old relic of a plane
love that sunset in wales. it is on my must visit list

9:02 pm

mamabear

Octarine - yes the sun was out here for about 10 minutes yesterday and about 2 minutes today..... we desperately need a sun filled day to raise spirits and heal viruses.

9:03 pm

mamabear

Sorry, Jac, must have missed it!!!!

9:04 pm

mamabear

Octarine - are you vacationing here in Illinois from Ireland? Or relocated?

9:04 pm

Jacula

AKnitter - my Dad worked for Lucas Aerospace and was in at the start during the French collaberation over Concorde. Incidentally, there was no fault with the plane itself. Debris on the runway caused the final fatal fire in the wing.

9:05 pm

aknitter

i would have love to have flown on it, love to fly. have passport and will travel anytime!!!

9:05 pm

Jacula

Concorde's fuel was stored in the wings, you see. The debris hit the wing. Nuff said.

9:06 pm

aknitter

might there be a clue lying about for the en 7/32?

9:06 pm

mamabear

I'm with you, ak!!!! All I need is the time and the money!

9:06 pm

Jacula

en7/32 - what you call your foes.

9:06 pm

mamabear

en 7/32 - not your friends

9:07 pm

aknitter

ty jac, i always miss the obvious

9:07 pm

mamabear

OR plural of the boards you use to file your nails

9:07 pm

Jacula

If someone is not your friend they may be your en***. (Then plural it.)

9:07 pm

grant

or allies

9:08 pm

Jacula

Grant - I think it was either nail files or 'anti-allies' in this case.:-)

9:08 pm

JeeWhiz

Hi Everyone!

Jac - it's very late, *mamabear taps foot on floor* you really must be getting to bed, my dear!!!! LOL
ciao!

9:09 pm

mamabear

Hi JW!
bye JW!

9:09 pm

JeeWhiz

Sorry Tiffany won't go away. She is still stuck on 80's day.

9:09 pm

aknitter

nite mamabear

9:09 pm

Jacula

It's no good. I've been bursting to ask this for months. It's only something I see folks from USA use... what does 'ack' or 'ak' mean??

9:10 pm

Jacula

Nite Mamabear.

Hi JW.

9:10 pm

mamabear

nite ak!
not true, JW - you have a lovely beach scene!

9:10 pm

grant

thought I could piggyback on 9:06. En nail files??

9:10 pm

Octarine

general exclamation of surprise or consternation

9:10 pm

LeslieAnn

jw tiffany did go away!

9:10 pm

aknitter

ak could be me!

9:11 pm

Babblephish

ack = acknowledge

9:11 pm

Jacula

JW - I see a palm beach.

Grant - em*** boards. Like sandpaper.

9:11 pm

Jacula

Babblephish - Thank you!

9:12 pm

mamabear

when I said "ak" I meant aknitter

9:12 pm

Jacula

AKnitter - I think, in Mama's post, the 'ak' was you.

9:12 pm

Jacula

LOL! I just knew Mama would have to come back for a last look.:)

9:13 pm

aknitter

ak = me ack = sigh, disgust, arghh

9:13 pm

Babblephish

;-)

9:13 pm

Octarine

er6/30?

9:14 pm

Jacula

Octarine - I think the 'ack/ak' you describe is probably the meaning I was seeking. Lianakate (where is she lately?) used it a lot. Is it a Jewish expression? It sounds it.

9:15 pm

aknitter

er 6 --- if you were from the u.k and your frien just arrived you might say he was h*** *** as opposed to being here later

9:15 pm

Octarine

no particular ethnographic basis afaik I think it is most likely from a comic or cartoon

9:15 pm

grant

Yup, they're both e 7/32's, but 9:06 asked about en

9:16 pm

Octarine

weird, I could have sworn I tried that to no avail earlier thanks!

9:16 pm

Jacula

er6/30 - take an he4 word meaning 'in this place' and remove the first letter, then add a three-letter 'no' word meaning 'right at this moment'.

9:16 pm

aknitter

minus the h octarine and with appologies to those in the u.k.

9:17 pm

Jacula

Well, AKnitter, us lot in UK always say it as 'heretofore'. Yeah right!

9:18 pm

aknitter

ah the english language, such a strange creature

9:19 pm

Octarine

got that right. I remember being struck by my German Teacher telling us there are no spelling bees in Germany...if you can say it you can spell it.

9:20 pm

aknitter

i might be able to say it, perhaps even spell it but type it?? forget that. my delete key is worn out

9:22 pm

JeeWhiz

Thanks for letting me know that Tiffany left the building. She wasn't going away easily. Glad to lose her finally. Now I will have to stay awhile to enjoy everyone's beautiful scenery.

9:22 pm

Jacula

The English language is a wonderful, ever-changing mongrel of a language and I love it. Without it, games like Babble, the unmentionable other game that sounds the same, and crosswords would be barely possible.

But for beautiful languages of other kinds, one need look no further than Gaelic and Welsh.

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

And a wonderful good evening to all!

9:24 pm

aknitter

my grandmother was from scotland. i loved her words for different things. i still often use them ... anywhoooo

9:24 pm

Jacula

You know, once you know the alphabets for those last two I mentioned, they're not so hard. Well, not until your teacher says, 'That's what the book says but, actually....'

9:25 pm

Jacula

Flowery Wolfie! HELLO! *HUG* How's the mum-to-be?

9:25 pm

Octarine

I loved the old Onion article "Clinton deploys vowels to Bosnia"

9:25 pm

JeeWhiz

Hi Grey Woulf

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

(*JAC*) -- she's doing fine -- just had to run out to the pharmacy to pick up her meds :)

Hi JW!

9:26 pm

Jacula

Octarine - That's not a version of the English to German joke is it?

9:26 pm

Octarine

mamabear, sorry didnt see the ? From Eire orignally and I like the flag better next to my name:-) Ive been in Evanston for the last 30 years

9:30 pm

GreyWoulf

So I see I just missed Mamabear :\

9:31 pm

harpjane

re 5/10? NOT the plural of re 4/4, the other one.

9:31 pm

Octarine

you mean like Mark Twains' essay on German? No, they mention sending vowels to places like Tygzhr and Shplxyx

9:32 pm

GreyWoulf

re5/10 -- to view again

9:32 pm

GreyWoulf

Has there been any word from doxy1 about her daughter?

9:33 pm

harpjane

GW-thank you! Too many r's and e's in the grid!

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Anytime, harp :)

(*hug*)

I agree!

9:33 pm

Jacula

LOL, Octarine.

Sorry for delay. I've learned Welsh but I just went off on the Net looking for Irish Gaelic phrases. Made the mistake of clicking on 'The Alternative Irish Gaelic Dictionary' and found some stuff I'd rather not know! *Blushes*

9:35 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - by my clock it's 12th Jan now and it's YOUR themed icon day - comics. Is that comic books or comedians?

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- comic strips -- specifically I was thinking web-based comics :)

9:36 pm

Jacula

That wolf looks ever so nice and fluffy amid those flowers! LOL.

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Doesn't he though, Jac? ;)

9:37 pm

Jacula

Web-based? Means I can't to The Beano much then. Weebl & Bob maybe?

9:38 pm

harpjane

sn 5/10? um, what are web-based comics? How would I find them? Will I be offended? bored? Or will I have another addiction? Should I proceed cautiously or throw caution to the wind?

If you can't answer all of my questions, perhaps you can try at least answering the first one?

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- use which ever you want -- when I suggested it, a lot of folks said "what are web comics?" so Babbler widened the scope --- not everyone has the time or twisted friends I do to find them ;D

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

sn5/10 -- to address in a condescending manner (usu. with a curled lip)

9:40 pm

LeslieAnn

ack, much trouble with me 7/32. does anyone have it?

9:40 pm

harpjane

ty gw

9:40 pm

Octarine

Think Snidely Whiplash stadning over fiar maid on the railroad tracks

9:41 pm

Jacula

I'll bet that Wolf's a bit like my cats and will bite eventually if you stroke him! Mind you, a wolf is a canine, and they don't tend to do that. You can watch tv and stroke a dog and not worry he's gonna bite through your wrist while your attention's away. A cat? Not so! They get so much pleasure out of being stroked that their survival gene kicks in and tells them to stop being blissful and be AWARE! Then they have to either scratch or bite! They're sorry afterwards, but they do have to do it.

9:41 pm

Octarine

and no, I cannot type to save my life

9:43 pm

Jacula

Octarine - for the life of me (though I have the word) I cannot see how the fair maid tied to the railway tracks clue works?? She's yelling, 'Save me!' I guess?

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Web based comics are a hit or miss proposition, harp --- some are very cool and some can be quite offensive -- one that fits both categories is "Something Positive" --- it is so over the top that you can only say "Man I wish I could do that for real!" I highly recommend it :)

9:43 pm

harpjane

so 6/18?

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

But basically, web comics are just that -- comic strips that are only published online

One of my other personal favorites is "Two Lumps" - The adventures of Ebenezer and Snooch
I've mentioned it before -- the main characters are kitties :D

9:46 pm

harpjane

kitties? oh boy! I'll check it out!

9:46 pm

Jacula

me7/32 - think of a small child, forlorn after losing a race on school sports day. He or she might say 'me lo***' (present tense of to mislay something). Change the 'l' for the 3rd vowel in the vowel list.

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

sorry Leslie -- don't have the me7 yet

9:47 pm

LeslieAnn

'sok i got it! done! hooray and thanks!

9:47 pm

GreyWoulf

so6/18 -- a gala event, a ball

9:48 pm

Jacula

Was it my clue that got it for you, LeslieAnn? Was it? Was it? LOL.

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

looks like a misspellling of an apology

9:48 pm

Jacula

WELL DONE, LA.

9:49 pm

Jacula

so6/18 - French evening 'do'.

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

I think it was missed earlier --

Has anyone heard from doxy?
--- is her daughter OK?

9:49 pm

renfield

please ...just a little insanity...please...

9:49 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, Jac!
(a la MamaBear)(is she gone to bed?)
And Grey, and harp, and LeslieAnne, and anyone else I know that I haven't seen for a while!

9:49 pm

JBsAnno

ren! Hi!

9:50 pm

renfield

hey jb...8)

9:50 pm

Jacula

Hiya, Rennie. Did you get the shoofly pie I sent you? LOL.

Wolfie - I didn't miss your message about Doxy but I've not seen her. Not been around for all of the logs lately though.

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- BTW, I wish you had been here last night-- my mom showed up -- I emailed her about Babble and she came by to check it out -- her screen name is hootowl :)

9:51 pm

renfield

yummmy yummy ate it all!!! lol shoofly pie - that's for me!!!

9:51 pm

JBsAnno

I told a friend today by email about Babble. She's already signed up, but I don't know if she's here.
Kathleen H - are you going by another name?

9:51 pm

Jacula

JBSAnno - Mama's been quiet for a while now, so I do believe she has really gone to bed, cough and all.

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi JB and ren!!!

(*Hugs*)

9:52 pm

JBsAnno

{{Hugs}} back. Sorry I missed your Mom, GW!

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Don't worry JB, she'll be back ;)

9:53 pm

JBsAnno

It's a bear being sick in the winter.
Pun not intended!

9:53 pm

JBsAnno

I bet it'll be a hoot, GW!
(sorry, I'm just punny tonight...)

9:53 pm

Jacula

Ren - that was the crumble-topped one. I suppose you'll be wanting a chocolate-topped one next?*Jac grins evilly, seeing a way to transport the choc from her own home to Ren's, seeing as there's a 'revised eating programme' going on in her house right now.*

No! Don't anyone DARE say the word 'diet' or Paul will panic and feel hungry.

9:54 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, do you guys like my rainbow? Our apartment during school in Center City in 2001 had HUGE windows, great views.

9:55 pm

renfield

hey wolfie!!! say a young dude riding his bmx bicycle today balancing a load of clean laundry and thought about you 8)
made me smile 8)

9:55 pm

JBsAnno

Don't look now, Jac, but I think you said the "d" word...

9:55 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - I'll be sure to look out for your Mum and say 'hello'.

9:55 pm

renfield

transfer that pie this way please mistress....8) beg,,,plead...grovel...

9:56 pm

Jacula

The 'd' word isn't in today's grid. It's been in about 3 grids since Xmas though! HUMPH!

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- your rainbow is quite beautiful :)

Ren -- rough day?

9:57 pm

moncrunchr

help, please, with the ye 6/24.....

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

mon -- double the consonant in the ye5

9:58 pm

Jacula

*Jac throws a choc-topped Shoofly Pie over The Pond in the general direction of Ren's house.*

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

on5 please?

9:59 pm

JBsAnno

And JBsAnno jumps REALLY HIGH in an attempt to one-hand snag a flying pie!

9:59 pm

harpjane

GW- stubborn, feisty

10:00 pm

renfield

when i lived in the carribean, i followed a rainbow to the end and sat w/ it shining on me...since the water was at 3000 fathoms...i wondered if there was some pirate's gold there

10:00 pm

harpjane

GW- I mean, anagram of stubborn, fiesty

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks harp!

10:00 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, GW - it was so glorious set against that wolf-gray sky!

10:01 pm

JBsAnno

oh, ren, I would love to see the end of a rainbow!

10:01 pm

JBsAnno

Forecasting intermittent periods of AFK to feed cats and get ready for bed, so if I don't answer a question, I'll catch up!

10:02 pm

renfield

jb - your skin kind of changes colors while you're in it..it was a wonderfule exp.....

10:02 pm

harpjane

LE 5/12?

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

ok, the or's are eluding me as is the oy7

Help, please?

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

le5/12 -- used to make -ade

10:04 pm

harpjane

GW add an O to your ye 6/24

10:04 pm

Jacula

*Jac grins as she now sees a money-making idea coming from JBSAnno's post about jumping high to catch the pie. 'Get Your Figure Back - Exercise With Jack! Jump High. Catch the Pie! Look good in the sack!'* (That's the chant, and also the name of the video, book, tv series. You saw it first here, folks! ROFLOL.

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

thank you

10:05 pm

momma mary

any kind of clue for SE 8 greatly appreciated

10:05 pm

SueL

can i have a cllue for ye 6 32 and me 7 32 please....

10:05 pm

renfield

LOL mistress - love it jump high catch the pie!!! may i design the workout costumes???

10:05 pm

harpjane

GW--Bill Clinton is a fo**** president. Drop the first letter.

10:06 pm

Jacula

Ren - sitting at the end of a rainbow is something most people never get to do. (Though rainbows are circles, you can see that in the air.)

10:06 pm

SueL

se + se 4 5 + os 4 4

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks ren -- two down, two to go

10:08 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - oy7. A realy silly word that puts an 'o' in front of your plural affirmatives. I said earlier that it probably describes Meg Ryan's famous scene from 'When Harry Met Sally', after which the old lady told the waitress, 'I'll have whatever she's having!'

10:08 pm

harpjane

ne 4/4?

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Got that from harp, Jac -- I meant the other 2 or's :)

10:09 pm

Jacula

ne4/4 - the name of the Scottish loch in which the Monster resides.

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

ne4/4 -- Loch Ne**

10:09 pm

renfield

jacula - i know - it was during my running away and finding myself period of adjustment...made me fell special...

10:10 pm

harpjane

Thank you jac

10:10 pm

Jacula

Ren - you can design the costumes for my classes. E-mail me the results.

10:11 pm

Jacula

Ren - feeling special is a precious thing. Hang on to any moments like that.

10:11 pm

renfield

thank you mistress.... i will...8)

10:13 pm

Jacula

*YEUCH! Jac spits a mixture of white wine and soda water onto her monitor.* Okay, folks, I tried it in the name of our 'revised eating plan'. What a DREADFUL thing to do to a good wine! From now on I wll stick to my former plan of one glass of wine then 2 glasses of water...

Splutter, splutter...

10:14 pm

harpjane

Last word, and I'm dizzy, can't see es 4.
Too many possibilities for monkeying...

10:14 pm

Jacula

Harp - Have you got es5/10? If so, take an 's' out of it.

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

Yay -- only 29 left!

Booo! -- they are all E's and M's

;D

10:16 pm

Jacula

Sorry folks, still choking over that horrible wine/soda mix here.

10:16 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Forget the soda!! Just drink the wine.

10:17 pm

renfield

jb - we can run away and become rainbow hunters!!!

10:18 pm

Jacula

JoJoFunLvg - That's all very well, but what about my calorie count for the day? Oh, sod it! I know you're right!

10:19 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: So you are trying to lose weight?

10:20 pm

Jacula

JoJo - Not trying but doing so! I'm an old hand at this one. Thing is, as I've got older, I've got to appreciate the taste of a wine more. So, anything that depreciates that is abhorrent!

10:20 pm

harpjane

Thank you Jac, that did it!

10:21 pm

torgone

How does adding soda affect your calorie count? Just drink the wine and enjoy it. Add a little moderate exercise and you're good.

10:22 pm

renfield

hey torg!!!

10:23 pm

Jacula

Torg - have you any idea how many calories there are even in a dry white wine?

10:23 pm

torgone

Hiya ren!
For some reason, I just got the ho7 & ho8!?!?!?

10:25 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: We have all gotten older. But, I have lost 75lbs in the last 8 years. Kept it off too. Tor is right. Excercise is the key. But, counting calories was also a key in my success. Forget the low carb thing, you gain the weight back.

10:25 pm

renfield

ok all of you wonderful people...i'm going home in about 5 minutes....byeeeee!!!

10:26 pm

mab

hi rennie, jacula, gw, jojo, jb, torgone. Jacs, judging from your pics, you don't need to lose weight, do you? I will not finish grid as have been sick today and now keep getting tossed off line. Quich hello and oh no. I'll go rainbow hunting, ren.

10:26 pm

brandyjack

90-110 calories in a dry white wine. something my wife won't listen to.... bitches about the size of her butt until I use the recipes from Truestar, then eats double portions and sucks back at least two glasses of wine with supper...

10:28 pm

Jacula

BJ - You're not wrong there! Re the calories, I mean.

10:28 pm

renfield

oh mab...i was just about to log off - i'm so glad to see you. how are you??

10:29 pm

mab

hmmm. relationship not going well, brandyjack?

I'm so lucky to not have to lose weight; I get deathly ill any time I actually reach normal weight! It's like aversion therapy for eating!

10:29 pm

torgone

I know, I know. I like ale myself. But I don't try to water it down. That would ruin it. I TRY to either drink less, or work it off with exercise. I'm not preaching. I'm way overweight, and I don't exercise enough.

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

mab -- sorry to hear that -- on all counts

(*HUG*)

10:30 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hi Mab: Sorry you are sick. I think I need to lose weight, but my husband thinks I am anerexic. Not even close.

10:30 pm

mab

thanks gw. I'll live. I think.

10:31 pm

renfield

ok love to you all....logging off and driving home...8)

10:31 pm

harpjane

how's this, GW? *F5*

10:31 pm

torgone

Bye bye ren. Be safe. Be cool. Be back.

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

I hope so, mab -- it would be lonely around here without you!

REn -- safe journeys (*HUG*)

10:31 pm

Jacula

Drive safely, Rennie.

10:32 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: **hugs**

10:32 pm

mab

at work stil!!! drive carefully ren.

10:33 pm

Jacula

Anyone here still need any clues for the grid?

10:34 pm

torgone

57 of them, Jac.

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, let's see.... yep -- still have 27 to go now, still figuring out what I need -- spending too much time chatting again :)

10:37 pm

mab

Ey 7 pls?

10:39 pm

JBsAnno

AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEWWWW WWWWW!
Cat in the butter!
Jazz - get off the table NOW! (licking her chops)
See what I get when I ignore the chores for Babble? I hunt rainbows and jump for pies (and type in the occasional word on the grid, got 79 left to go), and the cat sneaks up on the table behind me and gets her licks in. Sigh.
ho 7/30, anyone? Buehler?

10:39 pm

brandyjack

ocular items + a small number of any item.
Wierd word.

10:41 pm

Niamh

ho 7/30, they kick in when your in your teens, and stop working when you hit menopause

10:42 pm

Jacula

JBSAnno - ROFLOL. That sounds like one of my cat's to a tee! The other can't be bothered to expend energy jumping up to nick things, she just waits with her mouth open below when anyone is preparing any kind of food. She's have loved being around when my kids were little - the dog used to do what she did beneath the high chair!

10:42 pm

brandyjack

That was for the ey7 which i just got (after being made aware of its existence). The ho7&8, well you've heard the old joke about 'how do you make a prostitute (sub much smaller word) ****, don't pay her". Or a condition that most teenage boys suffer from: ho***** poisoning.....

10:42 pm

mab

ever notice, jb, how cats never feel contrite? She knows the butter on the table is not for her, but if she thinks she can get away with it, well, there she is. feline delinquency.

10:43 pm

JBsAnno

TY, Nia, got it! (and losing them, at the same time. It's the dreaded "M"!)

10:43 pm

mab

thanks brandyjack for the ey's.

10:43 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Nia: My list, I have no ho7/30. I have a ho7/36 and a ho8/50.

10:44 pm

Niamh

Jb, YW and .....ROFLAO

10:44 pm

brandyjack

i've still got 85 to go....

10:44 pm

JBsAnno

I keep chuckling at the log tonight! "No ho" ...better not go there!
Good clues, BJack, thanks!

10:44 pm

brandyjack

ho 7/ 36
ho 8/ 50
are all the ho's....

10:45 pm

Niamh

you're right JoJo, I just copied and pasted from the request...

10:45 pm

Jacula

BJ - you naughty man! Why am I not surprised that you didn't hold back from telling that 'ho7/8' joke?

10:45 pm

JBsAnno

mab, is it delinquency if they don't think they're doing anything wrong?
It's only wrong if they get caught!

10:46 pm

brandyjack

hey, someone asked.......... always give in to temptation, It may not pass your way again....

10:46 pm

Jacula

Dogs have masters, cats have servants.

Who are the fools in both cases?

10:46 pm

JoJoFunLvg

BJ: Sounds good to me!

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

that's a philosophy I can embrace, Brandyjack!

10:47 pm

brandyjack

rice pudding with rum soaked raisins....... excuse me while I go get some more....

10:47 pm

JBsAnno

boo hoo! It's 11:45 here, and another 5:30am wake up call. Have to leave the party, folks! Jac, take a big swig of wine only to wash out the soda. ren, I'll be looking for rainbows in my dreams.
Oh, and I missed the pie!

10:48 pm

JBsAnno

It's worth the purr, Jac!

10:48 pm

Jacula

JoJo - at this time of night/morn here in UK I daren't even try to comment on your post of 'BJ sounds good to me!' I can only thank the Lord above that my other half isn't signed in here to reply to that post.:)

10:49 pm

JBsAnno

Jac, she did have a colon in there after BJ...
(eats shoots and leaves)

10:49 pm

torgone

Nyuk nyuk! BJ Sounds good to me too!
Nitely nite JB.

10:50 pm

Jacula

I know, JBS, but I chose to ignore it - earthy Taurean that I am. *Shrugs.*

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite JB -- sweet dreams!

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- you naughty girl! ;)

10:51 pm

Jacula

Torg! Control yourself! We don't want a messy log.

10:51 pm

JBsAnno

Night, Tor, GW, BJ, ren, mab, JoJo, harp, Niamh, and the Shining Ones who show up on the stats but not on the chats!
Off to dreamland!

10:52 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Who me? *Taps foot and whistles in an innocent manner.*

10:52 pm

GreyWoulf

mi6 please?

10:52 pm

torgone

Well, someday someone will ...

10:52 pm

Niamh

night JB!

10:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

*peeks in - reads jac's last post* what in the world is going on in here? without me?

10:53 pm

brandyjack

not a blessed thing.......... (ok, so I'm dense)

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

ROFL

10:53 pm

Jacula

JBS - Yes, that reminds me - the talk of those who show up on the chats but not on the stats - where is Chessy? Chessy has been vying with me for weeks now on the stats.

10:54 pm

Everyone: Got to sign off now. Will watch TV with my hubby of 34 years. He gets a bit upset when I don't join him to watch shows HE wants to watch. So tomorrow guys.

10:55 pm

lshult

morning everyone.
just two words to finish this morning, starting with the last ri6/21?

10:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you, Niamh

10:55 pm

Laters JJFL.

10:56 pm

Niamh

YW Grey Woulf ;))

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Now if only I could figure out which of the me's I am missing -- I am still down by 10 m's before I move to the E's

10:56 pm

Niamh

later JoJo

10:56 pm

Jacula

Mi6 is part of the UK Secret Service. Oh, yes, I see, you want a clue for an mi6 word... I gave one earlier. It didn't seem to work when I talked about a small child lamenting over losing a race though. Try mi + red flowers often sent in dozens by lovers. Then take the first letter off and add the 2nd vowel in the vowel list.

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

So long, JoJo -- Kirsten gets the same way every now and then as well (*hug*)

10:58 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW & Nia; **Hugs**

10:58 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - All partners get like that, even me, as a seasoned 'on-liner', if their partner spends too long chatting to 'those faceless people on the computer'.

10:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

well how's the night shift tonight? I'm doing my homework and trying to google up the answers to doublecheck...

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

I don't believe I only just now found the cat sounds!

10:59 pm

hootowl

Woulf - I finally got you in this afternoon! But you have to IM me to give permission. Then we can yak!

11:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Mom! Ok, I'll take care of it :)

11:01 pm

Jacula

Hiya Temple again.

HOOTOWL - Hello! Welcome Wolfie's Mum.

11:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

* puts out hand to shake* nice to meet you, - as one owl to another!

11:02 pm

lshult

that last ri6/21 is now my last word.
havn't finished a grid in at least 10 attempts.
life can be just sooo exciting!!!!
ri6/21 help please?!?

11:02 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - you do have 3 cat sounds, I hope? The first and second are the obvious ones, and the last, a 4/9, means stable buildings but sounds like a cat sound.

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Yes I do Jac

11:04 pm

Niamh

lshult, ri + Dorothy's Auntie + lover's flower (- the r)

11:04 pm

boatierra

11:04 pm

brandyjack

ri6/21 multiple people in a room, each of whom like to make simple poetry where the last word of each line sounds the same. bunch of ri****......

11:04 pm

Jacula

ri6/21 actually means 'Full of chinks, cracks, or crevices'. However, think of the edge of a cup or something, the ri*, and then add the lovers' flower and take off the 'r'.

11:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Folks - I am gonna be a bit quiet for a few while I bring my mom up to speed -- not ignoring, just focusing :)

11:05 pm

lshult

thanks everyone, finally finished one.
any clues needed before i start working?

11:06 pm

brandyjack

11:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

bt:ingular of last 6/21...

11:07 pm

Niamh

11:07 pm

hootowl

11:07 pm

Jacula

Wolfie- that's fine, as I'm sure you knew.

11:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

11:07 pm

hootowl

11:08 pm

Niamh

11:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

11:08 pm

Jacula

'Night, 'night, Temple. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

11:08 pm

harpjane

How's everyone doing? I don't think I'll still be here for the flip tonight, but I can give a few clues....

11:09 pm

boatierra

Sweet cheeses. Thanks so much folks. That one was really bothering me. I figured it out. :)

11:09 pm

Niamh

hello harpjane :)

11:09 pm

Jacula

Well done, BT.

11:10 pm

Jacula

Harp - I need no clues but you can play your harp for us... please.

11:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks, jacs - but i have 1 1/2 hours more of problems to do before I sleep % [

11:10 pm

Niamh

Temple Owl, I think she wants to know if you collect owls... my grandmother did, she's past on now, put I keep one of her owls on my computer table to watch over me

11:11 pm

Jacula

Harp - seriously, one day you must make a sound file for us and post it in BabAnon.

11:11 pm

hootowl

Sorry Temple Owl - Woulf said you said hello so I did too. Trying to IM him, do the puzzle and keep up with messages. Pain!

11:12 pm

harpjane

I will, Jac. I promise. It's one of my New Year's
Resolutions.

Others: lose 25 pounds, learn to make creme brulee, don't make any mistakes at work....

11:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

i did when i was in school- school mascot - and i will still pick one up now and then...to go with my pussycat collection

11:14 pm

Niamh

learn to make creme brulee hun harpjane? I hear tell that involves fire...

11:14 pm

Jacula

HootOwl - I know just what you mean! Get Wolfie to give you my messenger addy.

My son used to like owls and collected them. My fave owl ornament, one I got myself, is 3 owls in a tree. 2 are upright but one is hanging upside down. The motto on the ornament is: 'No one is always right.'

11:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

harp - speaking of creme brulee, you've reminded me - one of my friends is raving about a recipe for creme brulee french toast - a make-ahead for special mornings - i intended to post on babanon the day it went down

11:15 pm

Jacula

Creme brulees require a blowtorch for the finishing of. Not too much fire really.

11:17 pm

hootowl

I will tell him jacula. Temple owl I have to try and concentrate on the info woulf is trying to feed me so I'm going on the side for a while

11:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, hoot. nice to meet you...

11:18 pm

harpjane

Well, my husband knows how to weld, so I figure he can handle the creme brulee torch if I get too nervous!

11:19 pm

Jacula

Hoot - I've just told your son a thing or two, so, hopefully, between us, we'll get there. LOL.

11:19 pm

Niamh

my friend is an excellent chef and she was talking about needing a torch for creme brulee...

I'm not so sure she should operate a torch :)

11:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

no torch in french toast recipe - just oven : )

11:21 pm

hootowl

Night Temple Owl - I make my french toast in a frying pan - cast iron!

11:22 pm

Niamh

you should post that recipie Temple... maybe she'll be satisfied with that and not try to use a torch... she's very accident prone

11:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol niamh - i can definitely relate!
the oven comes into play to make a large amount at one time - and when you do that and soak bread overnight, it takes a different kind of heat to get it fully cooked.

11:24 pm

Jacula

French toast is fine, as are oven chips, if you have an electric, fan-assisted oven. If, however, you still like cooking with gas, like I do, then the recipes don't work!

11:25 pm

Niamh

it sounds very good... *wonder what kind of yummies I have in the kitchen* you're making me hungry!

11:25 pm

chic

Evening all, down to the last few, need clues for
ye 6/24
re 6/30
tu

11:26 pm

Jacula

ye6/24 - more than one affirmative.

11:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

really? i did not know that. can't remember if friend has gas or electric. she made it for christmas morning gathering.

11:27 pm

Jacula

re6/30 - scatters the seeds again.

11:28 pm

Jacula

Temple - gas heat is a moister heat than electric heat, and then fan-assisted dries things out faster.

11:28 pm

Jacula

Hence all the different instructions in my recipes in BabAnon.

11:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had electric once - and it was once too much - burned everything top of range

11:29 pm

chic

Brilliant, thanx, jacula and c'est fini....

11:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay, chic! with time to spare!

really going now - bye!

11:31 pm

Jacula

Well done, Chic!

11:33 pm

chic

11:33 pm

brandyjack

11:34 pm

Congrats chic! I keep falling off line tonight I think because of the weather, but maybe it's because of my over-enthusiastic clueing last night. Ah, justice, darn!
