1:41 am

jaianniah

1:41 am

Blaze

1:41 am

ARB

1:42 am

sprite

Em6/21 = M + SS

1:42 am

jaianniah

WTG< Sprite!

1:42 am

Blaze

trouble is it may be to young for her to be a mother... only time will tell.... and she is still living with us and will do so after the child comes home...

1:43 am

jillibus

great clue, Sprite! thx

1:43 am

sprite

Ooph... that sounds kind of intense, Blaze.

1:44 am

Blaze

jillibus

How old is the mother-to-be, Blaze?

1:44 am

sprite

Es8/45 = Es + th6/21

1:45 am

Blaze

she will be 17 at the end of this week...

1:45 am

sprite

That's terribly young indeed, Blaze. Does she really want to be a mom already?

1:46 am

jaianniah

es8- put es+ a VERY common word *** house, ***door, ***dog+ plural it double

1:46 am

jillibus

Do you watch Coronation Street, Blaze?

1:46 am

jaianniah

I like sprite's clue better....

1:46 am

Blaze

I don't thiink is was at all planned... but she exercised her choice and choose to have a child... so time will tell.

1:46 am

sprite

Rule # 1: NEVER tell people their life looks like a soap! ;)

1:47 am

Blaze

Jillibus... yes... I do but stopped when the story line had danny sleeping with leanne...

1:47 am

jillibus

That wasn't the idea -- justthat sometimes a young mother can be a good one

1:47 am

sprite

Blaze, at least she has a loving and supportive family to back her. I hope you will all be alright.

1:48 am

jillibus

that was the pits, Blaze, but I can't stay away from it

1:48 am

jaianniah

ARB, did you get those words????? Crazy clues LOL

1:49 am

Blaze

Jilli yes the story line about Gails daughter... I think she will be okay once it is all real and crying... LOL... it is just the unkonwn frankly not in my plans either....but God needs a good laugh once in awhile..

jaianniah

ARB, I just clued them- affirmatives

2:05 am

Atalante

I *knew* that was a word - stupid grid wouldn't accept the TM word earlier!

2:05 am

sprite

Yes, there is. It means Separation of the parts of a compound word by one or more intervening words; for example, where I go ever instead of wherever I go. (pl)

2:06 am

Yes! And all the time we had great weather. And I picked such a nice restaurant at the waterside. And today... rain, rain, rain..... and more rain!

2:16 am

sprite

jilli: musical instrument(s) with a keyboard and metal plates struck by hammers that produce bell-like tones. Somehow makes me think of 'famous'.

2:17 am

sprite

That's not very conveniant, I think, Ata. But no hurry, of course, I just wondered if it reached you.

2:17 am

jillibus

thx sprite -- like Ms Holm? (or are you too young for her?)

2:17 am

Atalante

3:54 am

Karys

got 100 left to find...now must go and do some work....back later ...thanks for help everyone x

3:54 am

Haz1558

Political correctness dictates that brainstorm might be offensive to epileptics. We are supposed to have thought showers. Such nonsense.

3:55 am

hurshy

wow, i never heard about that one. refresh!

3:55 am

FMitch

Bye Karys

What total twaddle Haz, political correctness goes too far again!!

3:55 am

Aloyisius

this grid is fun so far - big words popping out.. I am cruising along.. (-: how do you like it, FMitch?

3:56 am

FMitch

Same here Aloy have made it to 102 but the w word is going to get n the way again like yesterday.

3:57 am

hurshy

w?

3:57 am

hurshy

*hurshy is puzzled*

3:57 am

Aloyisius

huh?

3:57 am

Haz1558

Shhhhh. Work.

3:57 am

hurshy

ohhhhhhhhhhh

3:57 am

Aloyisius

oooooooooooooh

3:58 am

Haz1558

It's politically incorrect to refer to it in case the unemployed take offence.

3:58 am

FMitch

LOL and at 10.00 I will disapear "poof"

3:58 am

KittyVane

And here I was looking at the grid thinking "There's no W!"

3:58 am

Haz1558

I'm joking - but the time may come.....

3:59 am

hurshy

well luckily they don't throw people in quod for not being PC

3:59 am

KittyVane

What if you take offence at political correctenss? Will they make PC non-PC?

3:59 am

Haz1558

Someone was arrested here for insulting a horse.

4:00 am

hurshy

:)

4:00 am

KittyVane

Honestly? That's insane!

4:00 am

hurshy

arrested? really? what was the punishment?

4:00 am

FMitch

Funny Kitty!!
Darn 10.00 bye all and Happy Babbling - back later.

4:01 am

hurshy

bye fmitch!

4:01 am

B'bye FMitch!

4:01 am

Aloyisius

bye, FMitch... see you later..

4:01 am

marso

bye mitch :)

4:01 am

jean1953

bye everybody have a good babbling day:)

4:01 am

Haz1558

I'll not be able to remember all the details, but someone in England, caught up in a fracas, insulted the policeman's horse. He was arrested - can't remember if he was convicted of anything, but you get the picture. The horse is still undergoing treatment for mental distress and the compensation figures are bound to be high.

4:02 am

marso

sorry ppl but this bloody switchboard keeps jumpin in front of the grid lol

4:02 am

Haz1558

Bye FMitch !

4:02 am

hurshy

so was it more a case of police liking to wield their power then?

4:03 am

Aloyisius

bye, Jean

4:03 am

Haz1558

They have so many rules and regulations that I think they just like to find an example to fit in with what they perceive to be an offence.

4:04 am

Aloyisius

think I 'm going to learn some new "y" words today..

4:04 am

hurshy

and how about that whole zidane thing, eh? did you hear why he did it? it was pretty bad on the italian player's part...

4:05 am

Haz1558

The Italian was at fault for insulting him, but he should NEVER have reacted the way that he did. It was a great shame that a brilliant career was ended like that.

4:06 am

hurshy

a very great shame. but i wonder whether the italian player knew that he'd just found out about his mother's illness.

4:07 am

Haz1558

It probably wouldn't have mattered. Exchanging insults seems to be par for the course in football and other sports, including cricket!

4:08 am

hurshy

yes but telling him he hoped he and his family would die ugly and painful deaths, if he knew that zidane had just found out his mother was seriously ill, is way more morally repugnant than zidane head-butting him.

4:10 am

Haz1558

They were words, dreadful words, but Zidane's actions were wrong. It sends out the wrong message to younger players.

4:11 am

hurshy

of course. i just think it's unfortunate (and perhaps a reflection of the fact that the course of history has been male-dominated) that physical acts are punishable but emotional ones are not. if a man breaks a woman's heart and she keys his car, she can be punished and he can't.

4:11 am

hurshy

however, it is of course understandable as physical things are more able to be proved.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Exactly - how do you prove a broken heart? I have sympathy for Zidane as he was obviously provoked, but he should have turned away. Easily said, not so easily done, but one wonders if he doesn't regret that moment of madness.

4:14 am

hurshy

i'm sure he does regret it. i can't think of a worse way to end a career, and i wish he had been able to remember who he was and what he meant to france.

4:15 am

hurshy

urf. i'm having P troubles.

4:16 am

Merk

Hello all, I've been muddling thru. Have there been glues for the de 8s plz?

4:16 am

Haz1558

He'll not be able to sing the old Piaf song. 'Je ne regrette rien'.

4:16 am

Haz1558

Hello Merk - think puddings and one who hates.

4:17 am

Merk

British puddings?

4:17 am

hurshy

puddies, pies, cakes, cookies....

4:18 am

Merk

Ah, yes. Thanx

4:20 am

hurshy

so for P words i have muscles, a soccer player and pl, and a fur (or to throw stuff at someone). anyone have others?

4:20 am

Haz1558

That's all I have as well.

4:20 am

hurshy

oh i just got another that rhymes with... purchases.

4:21 am

Aloyisius

sorry, noth there yet..

4:23 am

hurshy

found a ce 7/8 combo - girl's name

4:24 am

Andree

pe6/24 top part of a window

4:24 am

hurshy

valence?

4:24 am

Andree

and plural

4:25 am

Andree

what you might hang the valance from

4:25 am

Haz1558

Sounds like a tinker or someone who sells wares door to door.

4:25 am

hurshy

ahhh

4:25 am

hurshy

didn't know it was called that. thanks :)

4:25 am

Andree

yw

4:25 am

hurshy

wait i can't plural that

4:26 am

Haz1558

That's because we're cluing two different pe6/24 - you can plural the bed one, not the salesman.

4:27 am

hurshy

bed, window, i'm all dizzy

4:27 am

Haz1558

pe6/24 - in Britain used to decorate the top of a window.

4:27 am

Andree

pe+ vowel+ past of to meet someone

4:27 am

hurshy

i'm coming there tomorrow... a day too late for pe6/24

4:28 am

hurshy

ok i got it. but not vowel in case anyone else is trying to use that clue.

4:28 am

Andree

i need ci 5/16

4:28 am

Haz1558

pe6/24, rhymes with protective headgear.

4:29 am

hurshy

golly, that second T is mysterious.

4:29 am

hurshy

ci5/16 is also a girl's name, nickname for cecilia

4:29 am

Andree

sorry

4:29 am

hurshy

i suppose it's in as an alt spelling of a girly guy?

4:29 am

Haz1558

ci5/16 - not what you would want to call a macho man,

4:30 am

Andree

thx Haz

4:30 am

amandacath

Hi all! It's Q-week here at Babble! Although I'm guessing there aren't any q-words today?

4:30 am

hurshy

nope, not a one.

4:31 am

marso

hi amanda :)

4:31 am

marso

hurshy did u say u were coming to britain??

4:31 am

Haz1558

Morning amanda!

4:31 am

hurshy

yes, tomorrow. i'm in amsterdam at the mo.

4:31 am

marso

4:32 am

hurshy

london, but with day trips to other places.

4:32 am

KittyVane

Morning Amanda!
And you're right, there's no words starting with Q today

4:33 am

marso

hope u enjoy it,,,

4:34 am

hurshy

i'm sure i will. :)

4:35 am

hurshy

does anyone have the last i, i have 2 frozen water ones and 5 land-surrounded-by-water ones...

4:36 am

Haz1558

Still looking for the last i as well.

4:37 am

hurshy

i've got 8 s's left but only one or 2 from most of the boxes.

4:37 am

Kateq

hurshy I have 3 frozen water and 4 land etc
do you have the 7 letter frozen water?

4:37 am

hurshy

aha, thanks kate!

4:37 am

Haz1558

As in no frozen water - thank you!

4:37 am

Kateq

actually ic 7/32 meaning no frozen water

4:37 am

hurshy

you can make the land etc plural

4:37 am

hurshy

i mean you can make it past tense

4:38 am

hurshy

of course you know about the pl.

4:38 am

Kateq

ty--I missed one plural

4:38 am

hurshy

oh, ok then. :)

4:39 am

hurshy

i'm trying to decide at what point i need to look at the list in order to finish before i go meet sprite.

4:39 am

Kateq

I am at 122 words without the list--and do have to get to other things at some point

4:39 am

hurshy

did i miss discussion on some 8's before i came? i need 3 more.

4:41 am

Haz1558

I have 9 of the 8 letter words. Which do you have?

4:41 am

Kateq

ce, 2 de, es, 2 re, he, st, 2 tr

4:41 am

hurshy

i have ce, dex2, he, re, trx2

4:42 am

hurshy

ok so i need es, st, and another re

4:42 am

amandacath

Geez, there are that many words? And there are more than 9 8-letter words?!?! must go put in contacts so I can see better!

4:42 am

Kateq

es + th 6/21

4:42 am

hurshy

ok got the st

4:42 am

hurshy

i had best find th6/21 then

4:43 am

Kateq

st = hairy past tense plus new first letter

4:43 am

hurshy

uh, that's nothing like the st i found.

4:43 am

Kateq

re=past tense of thaw again

4:44 am

Kateq

the other st = flat bottomed glass

4:45 am

hurshy

ok i am confused. there's just one re and 2 st, then?

4:45 am

Tiny

Hi how are you all going with the grid

4:45 am

Kateq

sorry--there are 2 st 8's

4:45 am

hurshy

is the th6/21 weird too?

4:45 am

Kateq

and one re

4:46 am

Kateq

th 6 = plural dissertations

4:46 am

hurshy

that'd be a no then. :) thanks kate.

4:47 am

hurshy

and i just need one more 7...

4:48 am

hurshy

i have ce, 2 de, ic, me, pe, re, sm, 3tr

4:48 am

hurshy

i think i must need another tr

4:48 am

KittyVane

Aah, I'm finally half way through

4:49 am

hurshy

cause someone said there were 7 tr5/10 based words.

4:50 am

hurshy

you wouldn't think it would be that hard, in that case...

4:51 am

hurshy

oh no, that tr is a 6.

4:51 am

Kateq

I have what you have except no m 7

4:52 am

hurshy

me7 is a comparative

4:52 am

Kateq

I just got the m 7 lol

4:52 am

hurshy

:)

4:52 am

hurshy

hmm, well, i'm 90% done, so i think i'll get the list now.

4:53 am

hurshy

oh those es plurals!

4:54 am

hurshy

i don't tend to miss the s plurals, but the es plurals are another story.

4:57 am

hurshy

oh the fish!

4:59 am

hurshy

anyone have an se 5/6 combo?

5:00 am

hurshy

oh nvm got them. fish.

5:02 am

hurshy

it's te7 but i can't figure what it is...

5:05 am

hurshy

golly. it must start with the te 4/4...

5:05 am

hurshy

*sings* dancing with myself...

5:07 am

mattygroves

Our systems were down. Now it's up. Did I miss anything?

5:07 am

hurshy

you missed me discussing words with myself.

5:07 am

hurshy

i just need te7 and a ty 5/6 combo.

5:08 am

Aloyisius

hurshy... for the ty combo, try a word sounds like giving a portion of your income to church.. pl..

5:09 am

hurshy

alternate spellings! they get me even more than es plurals!

5:09 am

hurshy

thanks aloyisius.

5:09 am

Andree

Hurshy what you give to church, not spelled anyway i know tho

5:09 am

amandacath

YAY! Got the 9 and the 8's! Now on to the 7's - Hi aloy!

5:10 am

hurshy

got it! i'm done.

5:10 am

pam

morning

5:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning pam.

5:10 am

pam

congrats, hurshy

5:10 am

Andree

congrats Hurshy, hi Pam

5:11 am

Aloyisius

yay, hurshy! have fun at lunch with sprite.. hi, amanda and pam..

5:11 am

hurshy

hmm, pam...your icon seems, at this period in american history, to be inherently paradoxical. you must mean it as a plea.

5:11 am

amandacath

Hi Pam - Hursh, say hi to Sprite for us!

5:11 am

pam

i have more phantom than real words (real as in babble-accepted, that is)

5:12 am

hurshy

i shall say hi to sprite from the whole babble world.

5:13 am

hurshy

which is sort of silly as people can say hi to her directly when she's on but oh well.

5:13 am

hurshy

beware of rogue tm words

5:14 am

hurshy

well one anyway.

5:14 am

amandacath

tm? As in starts with tm, or trademarked words?

5:15 am

hurshy

as in starts with.

5:15 am

amandacath

is it that linguistics thing that i can't ever remember?

5:16 am

Aloyisius

learn something new every day! (-:

5:16 am

hurshy

yes but this time it's plural

5:16 am

amandacath

well, I guess I remembered it well enough to get it on the first monkey-try...

5:17 am

pam

that's OK, I will NEVER get it, LOL

5:17 am

hurshy

yay amanda :)

5:17 am

Haz1558

Pam - it has the same ending as the plural dissertaton.

5:18 am

hurshy

*hurshy weighs the desire not to be ridiculously early against the possibility of getting lost and being late and tries to decide the exact right time to leave for lunch*

5:18 am

pam

I'll try, haz

5:19 am

hurshy

and that 4 letter ending is also a word in its own right. in babbleland anyway.

5:19 am

Haz1558

There's also em6/21 with the same structure.

5:19 am

hurshy

ye olde throw up basins!

5:19 am

pam

have the em...

5:19 am

hurshy

and as it turns out, the te7 ends that way too.

5:20 am

amandacath

It's difficult to get really lost in Amsterdam Hursh - just find a graacht and follow it. In the right direction, of course :)

5:20 am

pam

got it...looking for a 4, not a six, thanks all

5:20 am

hurshy

well i managed to do it yesterday amanda, due to my map having 2's meaning different things and not noticing that i was near a black 2 instead of a red 2

5:21 am

pam

got the te--thanks, hursh!

5:21 am

hurshy

yw

5:22 am

hurshy

i always find my way eventually

5:22 am

Miki

Hi all

5:22 am

Aloyisius

takes two wings to fly, and I must have another cup of coffee... brb

5:22 am

amandacath

Of course, with my method you sometimes end up going in circles - but I never mind that. I love wandering aimlessly around Amsterdam

5:23 am

Miki

hows todays grid

5:23 am

hurshy

well the first cause of my trouble yesterday was that i expected to see the obelisk and didn't realize it would be blocked from view by the palace.

5:23 am

hurshy

today's grid seems harder than it turns out to be in the end.

5:23 am

hurshy

175 words

5:23 am

Miki

did u know that i'm onley a 10 year old kid

5:23 am

hurshy

alrighty, ye mighty, i'm off to meet spritey

5:24 am

hurshy

yes, miki, my telepathic sense told me that immediately.

5:24 am

hurshy

laters all

5:24 am

Eva

good morning miki. The grid isn't too bad so far.

5:24 am

marso

bye hurshy have fun :)

5:24 am

amandacath

See ya, Hursh! Have fun!

5:24 am

marso

hi eva miki :)

5:25 am

Eva

morning marso

5:26 am

amandacath

hi marso, eva

5:27 am

marso

hi amanda :)

5:30 am

Eva

hi amanda

5:30 am

amandacath

ok, I give up - clue for th pe7?

5:31 am

Haz1558

pe7 - plural of pe6/24 - window treatment sounding like protective headgear

5:32 am

amandacath

thx Haz - has anyone ever heard of that? I don't think I'd want one in my window...

5:32 am

Haz1558

They're widely used here!

5:33 am

amandacath

I googled it - is it that thingy up at the top? I think we call them valences in the States

5:34 am

marso

it is amanda

5:35 am

Haz1558

Valances are what we call the frilly things under mattresses and hiding the divan arrangement of the bed.

5:35 am

marso

lol haz

5:36 am

Haz1558

No wonder there was confusion earlier on in the log!

5:36 am

amandacath

Oh, I love the US-Brit confusions! Those things we call dust-ruffles

5:36 am

Kateq

or bed skirts

5:36 am

amandacath

or that, too

5:37 am

Haz1558

The education possibilities on babble are endless.

5:37 am

marso

my sis lives in New Hampshire,,but she still has the scouse accent tho she does get a bit mixed up at times,,

5:38 am

Haz1558

I am going to take a break - 46 left to find and the list will help me later.

5:38 am

marso

bye haz

5:39 am

amandacath

See ya Haz! I think I'm going to the list now...

5:42 am

Aloyisius

me too, amanda.. 24 left. Bye, Haz..

5:43 am

amandacath

Oh, I've got about 50 left, but I think I've got most of the "normal" words - we'll see!

5:52 am

KittyVane

I've got 29 left, all of them T words, again!
It seems that I always get the T's last. :)

5:54 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, a little ole le4.5 has me befuddled..

5:56 am

amandacath

that's a babblet, Aloy. The dic doesn't have a def, it's the first syllable of german "to teach"

5:57 am

Aloyisius

thanks, amanda... I remember my deutsch! (-:

5:58 am

amandacath

Sehr gut! So how 'bout returning the favor with the pe6/24?

5:58 am

amandacath

...the first one, that is, right after the muscles

5:59 am

Aloyisius

whoops... I have the second one, sorry.. not the first. Es tut mir sehr leid!

6:00 am

amandacath

Macht nichts - we'll get it eventually

6:00 am

Aloyisius

ya wohl!

6:00 am

inge

would that pe be the one that sounds like exChancellor Kohl

6:01 am

inge

Kohls first name, change h to p and u to e

6:01 am

Haz1558

pe6/24 - looks like an alternative spelling for old fashioned door to door salesman

6:01 am

Eva

thanks haz!

6:02 am

amandacath

nope, that's the second one. Ah! Thx Haz - I'd tried that in verb form, which didn't work

6:02 am

Aloyisius

got it... danke, Haz!

6:02 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

6:02 am

FMitch

Afternoon, taking a quick 5 min break

6:02 am

Haz1558

Bitte shon.

6:02 am

Aloyisius

welcome back, FMitch

6:02 am

inge

tx Haz, got that one too, and I thought you were on break

6:02 am

Haz1558

I'm interrupting my housework as well!

6:02 am

amandacath

Hi Mitch! Break from solving to chatting, or break from working to babbling?

6:02 am

Eva

hi FMitch!

6:03 am

Eva

Just getting ready for my morning swim.

6:03 am

FMitch

LOL break from work to babble and Hi all

6:05 am

FMitch

That sounds like a lovely idea Eva

6:05 am

FMitch

Matty - are you still around?

6:06 am

marso

hi fmitch wb :)

6:07 am

Haz1558

Matty's not logged in, FMitch.

6:08 am

Haz1558

But since you're the administrator....

6:08 am

FMitch

Oh she must have gone recently Oh well not to worry I've emailed her.

6:08 am

FMitch

LOL very funny!!!

6:08 am

Haz1558

Thought that would amuse you.

6:09 am

amandacath

ooo, that silly se4/6 from yesterday is here again

6:10 am

Aloyisius

yes, but the volcano is missing for a change!

6:10 am

amandacath

true. I miss it when it's not there...

6:10 am

masfalda

somebody from spain??

6:10 am

Aloyisius

me too! always makes me smile..

6:13 am

GraceM

how is it possible that stresser isn't a word??

6:14 am

amandacath

probably for the same reason that neither petless nor hemless are words - who knows?

6:14 am

GraceM

welll... I find the omission to be a stresser.

6:15 am

marso

scep

6:15 am

FMitch

Careful Grace or you might find yourself typing the st8/45 into the log!!

6:16 am

marso

never even finished it then lol sorry

6:18 am

Aloyisius

how about me6/21?

6:18 am

Haz1558

6:19 am

KittyVane

6:19 am

GraceM

ah...silly one. thx.

6:20 am

FMitch

Thanks Kitty - that gave me 2 6's and a 7

6:21 am

Aloyisius

6:30 am

FMitch

Ahh Aloy - the days even before Brandyjacks list and pro status.

6:30 am

Aloyisius

yes, indeedy..

6:31 am

Aloyisius

BJ gave Babble back to me..

6:32 am

FMitch

LOL it was a very different game in those days.

6:33 am

Aloyisius

well, I certainly had to have a different strategy to complete a grid.. very time consuming

6:37 am

FMitch

I think our nostalgic outburst has sent everyone else to sleep and I must go back to my spreadsheet, only another 800 lines of data to check :((

6:38 am

Aloyisius

later, FMitch.. I have 8 left; the "s"s are my hangup today..

6:40 am

amandacath

6:58 am

mattygroves

7:00 am

GraceM

a tm word? Huh!?

7:03 am

jan

GraceM, it is the plural of a word that means the insertion of a word or word fragment into another word, for example, "infreakingcredible". Here the word is the plural of that noun.

7:04 am

mattygroves

7:39 am

Merk

Goodnight, my bedtime here. I finished just in time.

7:40 am

Euterpe

Goodnight then, Merk. :)

7:40 am

Merk

Did you get the clue, GraceM?

7:40 am

Layne

NOT grits?!? Charm, one can have biscuit with cream gravy AND grits, you know.

7:41 am

Charm

yes, but if you have grits, Layne, you need butter too. and then you need an egg to go with the butter. Then the egg begs for some sausage, and if you're having sausage, you need a pancake or three. Then, before you know it, IHOP has run out of breakfast!

7:42 am

Layne

LOL! You're right!

7:44 am

GraceM

ic7 anyone?

Alright, musicmom. What would the morning be like without ground-up hominy?

7:49 am

Euterpe

Morning, musicmom!

7:49 am

EvaNadine

:-D

7:50 am

Anniebrook

morning, evan

7:50 am

musicmom

Layne - they definitely brighten the day - especially with a cup of coffee. i don't get them often enough though

7:50 am

Euterpe

Go Grace, Go! :P

7:50 am

musicmom

Go GRACE!

7:51 am

Layne

Are you the solitary grits appreciator in your household?

7:51 am

EvaNadine

and to think, all this breakfast chatter started with our phantom words list...hehe

7:51 am

musicmom

I *am* Layne. Very sad. I make wonderful cheese grits but am the only one who enjoys them

7:52 am

musicmom

speaking of phantom words - mine is rhythm

7:52 am

Charm

cheese grits, mm? never had that - only the salt and butter version.

7:52 am

movieman

My phantom is slicers......

7:52 am

Layne

Cheese grits are the best way to go. Keep on offering them to your kids, though. There's always hope.

7:52 am

EvaNadine

never had grits in my life...hehe

7:52 am

Anniebrook

mine is thyme

7:52 am

Charm

movieman - take out the 'l' and you have a word....

7:52 am

musicmom

Charm - just add a little shredded cheddar and a bit of garlic to the butter and salt variety

7:53 am

Charm

poor evanadine....

7:53 am

musicmom

Evanadine - you have no idea what you are missing

7:53 am

Euterpe

My phantom words stem from the Qu at the top. I'm seeing leftover words from yesterday's puzzle. :P

7:53 am

Dorens

hey. i'm back.... you still talking grits?

7:53 am

Layne

If you're making a whole pot of cheese grits (or any grits, really) and you beat an egg into it, it makes the texture smooth and silky.

7:53 am

Charm

musicmom - I may have to try that next time - being the solo grits eater in my house as well.

7:53 am

EvaNadine

considering its something that can be combined with cheese, youd think i woulda had some by now!!
so what do they taste like??

7:53 am

Anniebrook

dorens, hi

7:54 am

Dorens

evanadine...temptress!-hi annie

7:54 am

wow, I am learning the finer points of grits this morning!

7:54 am

GraceM

re7/32 anyone?

7:54 am

masfalda

hola

7:54 am

Layne

evandine, grits are right up there with the other heavenly carbs that are relatively bland but mix well with other flavors -- like mashed potatoes and rice.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

hola, masfalda

7:54 am

EvaNadine

grace == to do your sm5/12 over again.
past tense for an RE9

7:55 am

Euterpe

Hola, masfalda!

7:55 am

GraceM

7:55 am

musicmom

I think grits and couscous have similar texture

7:55 am

musicmom

strange that Sarah likes couscous but won't eat girts

7:56 am

Anniebrook

farina has the same texture as grits too

7:56 am

Layne

What is farina?

7:56 am

EvaNadine

i think ive only even had couscous once ot twice...hehe

7:56 am

bluephlox

7:56 am

musicmom

Evanadine - if it has carbs I eat it:-=)

7:56 am

Dorens

this is amazing... i think i mentioned grits 20 minutes ago, and I will weigh in now...don't like them...don't like any hot cereal

7:57 am

Anniebrook

its a cereal very close to the taste of grits. very hard to get grits here but when I see on a menu I always order it. diner grits are the best. yummy

7:57 am

Dorens

now there's grist for your mill

7:57 am

masfalda

7:57 am

masfalda

please

7:57 am

GraceM

for cryin out loud... I can't find the first se4!!

7:57 am

EvaNadine

im not so much a carb addict, as a cheese addict...so if cheese can go on it or in it, im a fan.
plus, i like foods if they have a nice texture...

7:57 am

bookgrrl

cheese grits with a little crispy bacon or pancetta are wonderful...

7:58 am

Dorens

sorry grace, don't have it

7:58 am

Layne

I'll have to look for some farina, and give it a try.

7:58 am

Layne

evandine, a lot of people complain about the texture of grits. But I've found that they have always been served grits without butter, egg, cheese, or other yummy additives.

7:59 am

musicmom

I don't have it either --- I've been too busy talking about breakfast to actually enter words. Shhheeesh you would think this is a word game or something<G>

7:59 am

Euterpe

8:00 am

8:31 am

Vicuna

ce7 is a musical instrument like a harpsichord, it is also the name of Babar's wife

8:31 am

musicmom

ce7 is a keyboard instrument that makes heavenly bell sounds.

8:31 am

Haz1558

ce7/32 - a woman's name with a heavenly sound

8:31 am

Charm

Movieman = the ce7 is a girl's name (I usually think of Sister Ce*****)

8:31 am

musicmom

ce is also a woman's name

Layne

Hee!!

8:39 am

jan

I gave an example earlier in the log. I think it was "infreakingcredible." Or, for an Aussie, absobloodylutely. There's a commoner one, of course, but in deference to the young uns here, I'll let you think it up yourselves.

8:39 am

Haz1558

WordsRock - the word is formed by em plus the ending of the plural dissertations, or the plural of es.

8:39 am

Haz1558

tm plus the ending, my mistake.

thanx hurshy!!!

sometimes i struggle with proper use of homonyms too. i try to dust with them and it doesn't work at all.

12:21 pm

TheFiz

You can't ride them to work, either. Pity, too - my car's in the shop.

12:21 pm

TheFiz

Have you tried the new Swiffer Homonym? Kind of expensive but the lock the dust away....

12:22 pm

hurshy

oh, you mean the suifeur?

12:23 pm

Lync

is the any use of the "Qu"?

Exactly. You can probably get them in Europe while you're there.

Thnx Fiz

the only thing with the swiffer is the cats keep getting stuck to it.

hurshy

lol

12:25 pm

TheFiz

Sometimes I think vacuuming the cats directly would cut down on housework.

12:26 pm

TheFiz

Of course, I prefer to cut down on house work by just not doing it....

12:26 pm

flosey

lol The, if you could get near them with vac

12:26 pm

mab

my cats would never recover from the trauma - never.

12:26 pm

TheFiz

One of mine is pretty weird anyway - so couldn't do much worse.

12:27 pm

I'd get the worst of that battle

Are you in Amsterdam?

That reminds me of a funny story. They have a he6/24 law for motorcycles in Illinois- my cousin thought he ws obeying the law by wearing his he 6/24 on his knee- he got pulled over by a cop, and got a ticket for not wearing it on his head. Then he got into an accident- and trashed his knee!

hurshy

12:54 pm

Hurshy, you would love working with the cadets. They stand when you enter the room, call you ma'am and stand to when you leave a room. And you can make them do push ups.

12:54 pm

Deutsch

Hi Kalea

12:54 pm

CiociaJudy

hi kalea

12:54 pm

i could make the boys i taught do push ups if i wanted, i think, if it had ever occurred to me

12:55 pm

mab

men should always stand when a women gets up.

12:55 pm

Vicuna

Oh, that. I was thinking you could teach them small arms handling or tailing or something.

12:55 pm

hurshy

only i can't do even one push up so i probably wouldn't

12:55 pm

hurshy

good heavens mab, why? that would make me feel so conspicuous, if they did that.

12:55 pm

hurshy

but i don't know anything about small arms handling or tailing

12:56 pm

mab

when you are out for a meal, does your husband not at least begin to get up when you do?

12:56 pm

Vicuna

Oh, fine, hurshy; go ahead and just let reality take all the fun out of everything!

12:56 pm

Deutsch

The cadets are taught sociology, Maryland and baltimore law, police procedures, evasive driving, shooting, stuff like that.

12:56 pm

mab

you know, the half stand

12:56 pm

stidmama

reality? what's that?

12:56 pm

hi musicmom! haven't seen you since music camp finished... may I boast?

BY ALL MEANS stid! Tell me!!!1

1:14 pm

haha! just passed halfway.

musicmom

Bravo!!!

1:15 pm

musicmom

I have 61 left. I was here early this morning

1:15 pm

stidmama

okay -- well, Grant had been taking violin lessons from a teacher at his school (offered them to any kids who wanted before school twice a week) all year long. Enjoyed it but didn't seem to be really doing what he loved.

1:15 pm

musicmom

and...

1:15 pm

MaMaWA

where is Enable?

1:16 pm

stidmama

At music camp, he took beginning strings and beginning band. In the strings class, he improved so much that last night he was playing music from Lord of the Rings... BY EAR!

1:16 pm

stidmama

and in beginning band, he learned to play the trombone... and can also play by ear on that now...

1:16 pm

musicmom

WHOOOHOOO! That is terrific stid. Playing by ear is a real talent.

1:17 pm

stidmama

AND two days ago at my mother's house he sat down and spontaneously started playing the piano _sightreading_

1:17 pm

stidmama

gotta go for a sec. guest has arrived.

1:17 pm

musicmom

I have developed my ear more since teaching Kindermusik but it is great when kids can - they don't know it is supposed to be hard<G>

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

musicmom

welcome

1:21 pm

kalea

wb stid

1:22 pm

stidmama

Yes, the boys have nearly perfect pitch, so it is nice when they play -- they self-correct! although, kids' ears seem to be able to handle more LOUD sounds than mine.

1:22 pm

musicmom

Definitely they can handle loud:-)) I was at a continuing ed workshop for KM all weekend. Very satisfying.

1:23 pm

stidmama

I saw a kindermusic sign on a front lawn in town the other day. Didn't realize it was such a big organization!

1:24 pm

musicmom

Very large - international. It has been in existence for 25+years.

1:25 pm

featherbee

hi stid and musicmom! just here for a sec

1:25 pm

stidmama

How nice to be part of something like that! I think the arts are vastly underrated -- and wish more was done to get kids excited about music and other pursuits

1:25 pm

stidmama

hi feather! did you ever get the paint off daniel's leg?

1:25 pm

featherbee

lol, yeah, that came right off

1:25 pm

featherbee

i however still have random strands of hair with paint on them

1:25 pm

musicmom

I agree stid. That's why I really believe in what I do. By teaching children from birth you give them a strong intro to a variety of styles of music

1:26 pm

musicmom

That will last for a while featherbee. I think I was stil finding speckles of paint in my hair two weeks later.

1:26 pm

stidmama

green or beige, feather? LOL (seeing a picture of a parrot in my mind)

1:26 pm

featherbee

the beige thankfully!

1:27 pm

stidmama

my kids didn't have a choice... I sing constantly! and their father listens to the radio (usually jazz or classical) when he is home.

1:27 pm

featherbee

want to know something sweet? i get applause from daniel when i finish singing a lullaby to him!

1:27 pm

musicmom

Yep our kids either. Sarah took Suzuki violin at age 3 and Hannah was a Kindermusik baby.

1:27 pm

musicmom

That is terrific feather!

1:27 pm

featherbee

hee, i love it

1:27 pm

musicmom

Keep singing singing singing!!!!!

1:28 pm

stidmama

that is darling, feather! I miss those days...

1:28 pm

stidmama

we didn't have the money for Suzuki violin when Grant was little. though I know he would have loved it. He's always gravitated toward fiddle music.

1:28 pm

featherbee

help with the pe 6/24? doesn't matter which one

11:37 pm

boatierra

I think a couple of weeks ago. I figured why not.

11:38 pm

boatierra

Bambam, do you know AZ? I was in Singapore summer of '97 for two weeks. Very interesting place. I think about it all the time.

11:38 pm

FranMag

well welcome to the Pros boa! i guess it's been that long since i've been on the same time as you.

11:39 pm

11:40 pm

jillibus

STID- if you're there - I just phoned hetty's hubby but got the machine. Will try again tomorrow.

11:40 pm

Bambam, well, I guess if you can endure the same topical weather everyday in Singapore, you can certainly get thru the monsoons here.

11:41 pm

stidmama

thanks Jill -- I don't want to fuss, but personally I don't like being in hospitals...

11:41 pm

FranMag, oh you are only 3 hours behind (I meant to write behind before) the mainland.

11:41 pm

Bambam

yeah Sydney has perfect weather really (where i'm from) .... but it's a big city now, too expensive to retire there if you're not working.... much like NYC or LA or any other major world city

11:42 pm

FranMag

yes boa! we're not that far.

11:42 pm

Bambam

the better thing about the states is there are lots of medium sized cities where you can still get what you want but it's cheap..... in australia if you're not in sydney or melbourne (and some would argue perth n brisbane) you are nowhere

11:43 pm

boatierra

FranMag, ya wall of heat is what I say to folks who have never been here before and arrive for the first time in summer.
