Jencatd

2:23 am

seano216k

poetic license on the spelling, obviously!

2:29 am

jillibus

too english for me, seano

2:30 am

jillibus

and mine's prbably too american for you

2:33 am

seano216k

2:40 am

jillibus

seano - googled and i think he sounds more like su6/21

2:40 am

jillibus

not 5/21

2:40 am

chj

fireworks here

2:41 am

Jencatd

congrats

2:41 am

jillibus

YAY YAY chj!!!

2:41 am

seano216k

ooops, my mistake.....darned sausage fingers!!

2:41 am

jillibus

now are you going to change your icon, chj?

2:44 am

chj

2:44 am

Frances

You've lost me there jille. Boy band?

2:45 am

Frances

Sorry *jilli*

2:45 am

jillibus

read your profile, frances - lol!

2:45 am

Frances

OOPS!

2:45 am

jillibus

chj - I had one all picked out beforehand too, and I was wrong

2:46 am

chj

ok done jilli

2:47 am

chj

ah jilli, i thought you had to be from pennsylvania to know about he***

2:47 am

jillibus

looks like the chrysler bldg

2:47 am

chj

we have a winner

2:48 am

jillibus

well, one can visit PA and find out, n'est ce pas?

2:48 am

chj

oui oui

2:48 am

chj

thats also a hint to a word in the grid

2:49 am

jillibus

had that one, but your icon is still a mystery

2:50 am

chj

and frances has.....she turned me into a ne** from monty python and the holy grail

2:50 am

chj

which one the two ouis?

2:51 am

jillibus

we4/8, no?

2:52 am

jillibus

or ye4/6?

2:52 am

olivirgin

okay, i'm curious...i've been playing this for a few days now. and you all keep making references to 2 letters then a number/number. can someone give me a clue? lol if not, that's okay too. lol

2:53 am

chj

si si

2:53 am

chj

the two letters are the first two letters of a word in the grid

2:53 am

olivirgin

that part i kind of figured. what about the number/number part?

2:54 am

chj

the first number is the number of letters in the word

2:54 am

Ragalla

the two letters are the first two of the word. then the first number is how many letters in the word and the second number is the score for that word

2:54 am

olivirgin

and fortunately, i've caught on to some of your hints...unfortunately i've had most of them already so it's not been helpful yet lol

2:54 am

olivirgin

thank you so much!!

2:54 am

Ragalla

sees

2:54 am

Ragalla

oops wrong box

2:55 am

jillibus

well, that's 100 found now

2:55 am

chj

the second number is the total point value of the word based on the numbers on the tiles for each letter times 2 for a five letter word, times 3 for a 6, times 4 for a seven , etc.

2:55 am

chj

go jilli

2:59 am

Blanko

Ive only got 45 on this one. :( Havent found one in the last 5 minutes either.

2:59 am

jillibus

3:34 am

Dianne

jilli - I can only think of a nasty word that is in the grid. Do you know what letter it starts with?

3:35 am

jillibus

hehe - I thought of that word too, I think! But no, chj is being very challenging and gave no other hint

3:36 am

jillibus

and maybe that's it, but I can't imagine!

3:36 am

Dianne

let me think about it..........

3:39 am

jillibus

please do! I've been googling like mad. Curse Curtis!!!! (not really)

3:40 am

Biltong

Hi jillibus and Dianne. What does the nasty word begin with?

3:41 am

jillibus

3:45 am

Dianne

jilli - I can't see anything else in the words. Sorry.

3:45 am

Biltong

Cant't figure it out just yet. No problem. Just thought if I had that, I could maybe help with chj's clue

3:45 am

jillibus

neither can i

jillibus

he may give more of a clue in the morning - the Connecticut morning, that is. It doesn't really matter

3:52 am

Biltong

bbl, bye.

3:53 am

Dianne

jilli = how cryptic are his clues?

4:02 am

jillibus

sometimes they're clear as a bell, but he was being a te5/10 this time. He had changed his icon previously to a shot of NY's Chrysler building and we were to guess the clue. Got it eventually and he changed again to this one. If you go to the log for about 2:00 am you might see what was going on - but it's not important - it was just a little word and not difficult - I already had it.

4:04 am

jillibus

and it's way past my bedtime so I'd better go - have fun!

4:05 am

Jencatd

I have the nasty t word you're after, it's tw4/8.

abe79

i've been sick all week too. air conditioning is the culprit

8:27 am

bgmadden

I'm sorry to hear about the special ed Annie. It is tough when they have special needs.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

Yes, it was, I must say. But that was many many years ago and my son is the kindest sweetest person. He has Downs Syndrome and he is still at home with me. My daughter has a law degree and is married with 2 wonderful children.

8:32 am

allstar

8:39 am

raelite

he gets that now, the old ladies just love him

8:40 am

11:01 am

hetty

the maid was in the garden pegging out the clothes, when something unmentionable happened to her

11:01 am

sprite

Yeah... a pocket full of rye. Brought to me by Agatha Christie :)

11:02 am

Vicuna

Gosh, hetty, you make it sound like the blackbird did something much worse than merely nipping off her nose!

11:02 am

Uneaixoise

se**** Marjory Daw

11:02 am

hetty

Love your artwork, sprite. Couod you draw what happened to the maid? Gave me nightmnares as a child

11:03 am

Vicuna

Good clue for the spirit of the chat, Une!!!

11:03 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

11:03 am

beebee

harp- that toy at the play ground if a fat kid was on the other side you'd get thrown in the air or break your butt

11:03 am

sprite

My artwork? Don't you have me confused with Atalante?

11:03 am

hetty

As a child I hadn't begun to conceive of worse violations, Vicuna

11:04 am

harpjane

oh, THAT toy! ty

11:04 am

hetty

Sorry,sprite, I have you confused with the talented Vicuna

11:04 am

Vicuna

Well, that's good, hetty. We always ended with a playful tweak to the nose, so that I never really pictured her nose actually bitten OFF!

11:04 am

beebee

harp- the 8 is past tense

11:05 am

Mercy

Last 2 SU's please

11:05 am

sprite

Oooooohhhhhh! That beautiful Se6/30 has a past t5? This is a great grid!

11:05 am

hetty

I suppose I'm thinking of other remembered verses too, like the twa corbies.

11:06 am

Vicuna

And actually, I was going to include that one in my book, but it had such disparate scenes that I hadn't figured out how to stuff the whole thing into just one picture woithout getting too fiddly.

11:06 am

hetty

Johnny shall have a new master

11:07 am

beebee

mercy- take the last su5/12- drop the last letter- and change to a double vowel/ and plural

11:07 am

Vicuna

Some of them are just dreadful... but at the same time, attempts to bowdlerize them are always dreadful, too.

11:07 am

sprite

Dreadful has power for kids! Look at all the gruesome stuff in fairytales!

11:08 am

hetty

When younthink about them, nursery rhymes are full of murder and mayhem and gross indecency, are they not?

11:08 am

Mercy

eebee many thanks!

11:08 am

hetty

We see to be thinking along the same lines.

11:09 am

Vicuna

I know, and I have to say, as a former kid addicted to fairy tales, I think kids usually have no trouble taking them the right way.

11:09 am

11:10 am

Vicuna

Yay for abe!

11:10 am

beebee

wtg-abe

11:10 am

hetty

It's because the kid's imagination is readily switched on and off. Only older readers are infected by empathy, which is a learned response.

11:10 am

abe79

thanks to all for clues! anyone need any clues?

11:10 am

11:12 am

sprite

LOL hetty!

11:12 am

abe79

ce + what you get if you sit in the sun + vowel

11:12 am

Vicuna

If only empathy were capable of infection - imagine the germ warfare we could have then!

11:12 am

hetty

Here endeth my homily for today--off to visit my old ladies (says she at 77)

11:12 am

Uneaixoise

hetty, my mother always said she thought she'd been TOO successful re instilling empathy and I think I may have done the same with MY daughter!

11:13 am

Uneaixoise

bye, hetty!

11:13 am

Vicuna

Bye, hetty!

11:13 am

11:14 am

sprite

Good job, Mercy

11:14 am

tracymoo

Uneaixoise - it's a "gal" thing to be toooooo empathetic i think

11:15 am

sprite

I guess it is. But when the choice is between too empathetic or not at all, I'd rather be oversensitive to other's needs, really.

11:16 am

tracymoo

sprite - it can be exhausting, though

11:58 am

stidmama

yes music mom...

11:58 am

11:58 am

ladynoire1013

Phantom word: ewes

11:59 am

stidmama

Now let's talk about that lovely green chestnut on my tree! My first crop! I hope it makes it to harvest...

11:59 am

Anniebrook

Stidmama, please feel better.

11:59 am

ladynoire1013

ah, I can understand that - I have osteo arthritis in most of my joints now

11:59 am

torgone

Take it easy and heal up, stid ..

11:59 am

You aren't planning on climbing that tree -- are you stid?<G>

12:00 pm

musicmom

Good!

12:00 pm

ladynoire1013

oh lord, now we've started something

12:00 pm

raelite

tor: that parrot is just sleeping. seriously. he's really tired...from parroting all day :)

12:01 pm

torgone

Shagged out from a prolonged squawk?

12:02 pm

stidmama

as usual, the upload squishes it a bit, but this is my lovely chestnut! :-)

12:02 pm

stidmama

I will be happy to share it with you-all later...

12:02 pm

torgone

He's de7/36'd, He's bleedin demised ..

12:04 pm

stidmama

another word for demise, lady!

12:04 pm

frazer_not_crane

I've got a lovely cuttlefish for you!

12:04 pm

musicmom

I think dewet should be a word - that is what happens when you dry something

12:04 pm

ladynoire1013

oh duh

12:05 pm

raelite

I know! let's put a h5/22 on him!

12:05 pm

musicmom

LOL raelite

12:05 pm

ladynoire1013

I think *weasee* should be word

12:06 pm

frazer_not_crane

Movin'

12:06 pm

frazer_not_crane

Movin' on up like George and Weasee!

12:06 pm

raelite

raise da roof!

12:06 pm

ladynoire1013

exactly

12:06 pm

stidmama

I think "untow" should be a word, as when the hitch breaks, and the trailer goes bouncing off the side of the mountain... (strange how memories of my teenage years come flooding back) and your dad says Q*$#)(Q#%#@*%$@(%^&

12:07 pm

raelite

lol

12:07 pm

musicmom

HHAAaAA LOL Stid. Some how i can just picture that

12:07 pm

ladynoire1013

I like that one Stid

12:08 pm

frazer_not_crane

I still vote for "woed" ... the past act of making a Joey Lawrence-like sound.

12:08 pm

musicmom

and isn't snew the past tense of snow?

12:08 pm

musicmom

it snew last night (I wish)

12:08 pm

frazer_not_crane

No, it's ...

12:08 pm

stidmama

nono, that would be snewed...

12:08 pm

frazer_not_crane

Snew? What's snew?

12:09 pm

raelite

snew is the contraction of it's new.

12:09 pm

frazer_not_crane

I dunno, what's snew with you?

12:09 pm

musicmom

no snew -- grow/grew snow/snew

12:09 pm

stidmama

LOL frazer!

12:09 pm

ladynoire1013

the opp of old, Fraz lol

12:09 pm

musicmom

Haven't looked for socks yet. I forgot until I just saw your name. Sorry

12:14 pm

stidmama

Fiz -- in reference to the line in your profile... my Tom is a baker! does all our bready things :-)

12:14 pm

CiociaJudy

Stid, you have to stop doing acrobatic moves in the house!!

12:14 pm

TheFiz

no sweat musicmom - i hurt my wrist so i'm not being crafty right now. thanks for keeping it in mind, though.

12:14 pm

stidmama

no, I was just showing of my first chestnut crop-to-be!

12:14 pm

musicmom

THERE are WAY too many injuries around here gang!!!

12:15 pm

stidmama

I know, that last triple twisting, double double back flip really did me in!

12:15 pm

musicmom

I am not okay with this:-)

12:15 pm

CiociaJudy

I agree Music Mom. Babbling is getting dangerous!

12:15 pm

musicmom

I have the de8 what is the other one?

12:15 pm

TheFiz

ohhh, that's the new baby stid? congratulations! it's beautiful. and there's nothing like fresh bread - you're a lucky woman.

12:15 pm

CiociaJudy

Sure hope somebody caught that on videotape Stid! LOL

12:15 pm

musicmom

I go away for a few weeks and everyone starts injuring everything. Did you miss me that much?

12:15 pm

stidmama

I AM lucky! (just a bit clutzy)

12:15 pm

TheFiz

"Babble's funniest home videos"

12:16 pm

stidmama

musicmom, it's true -- the world DOES stop for you!

12:16 pm

riemann

Any bets whether StidMama or a neighborhood squirrel gets the crop?

12:16 pm

stidmama

REE-mon! be nice! I won't share with you...

12:16 pm

musicmom

LOL Stid. I knew it! <tongue firmly in cheek>

12:16 pm

TheFiz

MM i had to keep busy to keep from crying - i've got an overuse injury.

12:17 pm

musicmom

That must where my kids must get that idea - that the world stops for them.

12:17 pm

ladynoire1013

Okay, I'm stuck on the ce's already

12:17 pm

musicmom

Poor fiz. just don't send me the bill

12:17 pm

TheFiz

*pictures stid and family gathered around single chestnut with tiny carving set*

12:17 pm

stidmama

I got the email -- yes, I know it'll take the kiddo a couple months (or more) to plow through the assignments, but he is SO happy! -- a very public "THANK YOU", professor!

12:17 pm

musicmom

LOL fiz

12:17 pm

riemann

YW. And I'll split the proceeds from the bets with you.

12:18 pm

stidmama

rieman is helping our stidmatt with two of his obsessions: math and fuel economy in vehicles...

12:18 pm

stidmama

LOL -- silly boy!

12:18 pm

ladynoire1013

Any clues for the ce's after the ce4/5/

12:18 pm

musicmom

boy stid - if he makes any money saving discoveries have them share with me.

12:18 pm

TheFiz

at once, stid and riemann, or separate projects?

12:18 pm

musicmom

I don't have any ce words

12:18 pm

stidmama

there's a CE 4/5? where? *dives into grid, searching frantically*

12:19 pm

stidmama

oh -- combined, Fiz! best way to get a kid to learn math is to combine it with real-life examples!

12:19 pm

musicmom

I have the stop one.

12:19 pm

ladynoire1013

its the phonetic pronunciation of mutiple C's

12:19 pm

stidmama

thanks, lady!

12:20 pm

ladynoire1013

no prob

12:20 pm

riemann

It's just the one project. And I'm giving a (much harder) project to my calculus students this fall.

12:20 pm

abe79

everyone have a great weekend. i'm headed out to lunch with mom

12:20 pm

TheFiz

i've got the stop, the plural, and the 4/5 lady - and haven't gone for the list yet so I don't know what i'm missing!

12:20 pm

ladynoire1013

later ABe

12:20 pm

TheFiz

bye abe

12:20 pm

beebee

ce5/12- you have 5 sight, sound ,etc- change s to c- make it plural for the 6/21

12:20 pm

musicmom

bye abe

12:20 pm

stidmama

I would hope so! but it's just the right size for a middle-schooler, and will impress his friends and teacher no end if he finished it!

12:20 pm

CiociaJudy

bye Abe!

12:20 pm

stidmama

later abe, enjoy your meal!

12:21 pm

TheFiz

great beebee, thanks!

12:21 pm

CiociaJudy

12:21 pm

musicmom

thanks bee bee

12:21 pm

CiociaJudy

beebee beat me to it!! THe log is moving so fast I didn't even see it! lol

12:21 pm

12:22 pm

TheFiz

I wish someone had taught me calculus with some relationship to reality - i was told that the reason I had to learn it was so i could get into a good college!

12:22 pm

musicmom

thanks bee bee

12:22 pm

musicmom

thansk judy

12:22 pm

beebee

12:23 pm

TheFiz

thanks beebee and judy!

12:23 pm

musicmom

Fiz - my math teacher told me to just avoid calculus at all cost.

12:23 pm

raelite

my math teacer told me to be a housewife

12:23 pm

Atalante

hello? is the chat log going to let me post now? *wonders*

12:23 pm

stidmama

I learned algebra in my physics class in high school... then sat bored in the back of the class. Skipped trig and took calculus (not that I remember anything now) and then avoided math except for statistics (loved it) and the bare minimum for economics (scraped by in those classes)

12:23 pm

TheFiz

math to me is like a muscle - if i don't use it i lose it. hence, at this point basic multiplication is a struggle...

12:24 pm

musicmom

UGH raelite !

12:24 pm

stidmama

hi Atalante! I bet you use calculus a lot!

12:24 pm

ladynoire1013

wow, look at all the co's

12:24 pm

Vicuna

You've got to be joking, raelite! Unless he/she meant it because housewives end up using an awful lot of arithmetic.

12:24 pm

CiociaJudy

business major; never had calculus!

12:24 pm

TheFiz

lol raelite!

12:24 pm

ladynoire1013

Hey Vic

12:24 pm

stidmama

did you-all see the math term that's a CO?

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Hello, ladynoire!

12:24 pm

raelite

I know...he sat me down and patted my hand, I almost failedhis class three times (in a row)

12:24 pm

TheFiz

yep, got that., thx!

12:25 pm

musicmom

Music majors just had to get through Algebra. I took it. Later I went back and took advanced math for elementary ed teachers. I did much better in that one because it was taught in relationship to why and how you would want ot use it.

12:25 pm

walnutchen

morning all... how many total today?

12:25 pm

Atalante

statistics! am stats wizard, apparently. (not really). husband is the real mathematician of the two of us!

12:25 pm

raelite

he was an a4/4 I did not like him

12:25 pm

musicmom

never had stats but thought I would enjoy it.

12:25 pm

Vicuna

Yes, although, I like to think of it as two people sun-bathing together!

12:25 pm

musicmom

165 walnut

12:25 pm

TheFiz

morning walnut - 165

12:25 pm

beebee

165 walnut

12:25 pm

stidmama

ooh, poor raelite! that's okay -- REAL math is applied, not on paper. (go ahead, riemann, correct me...)

12:26 pm

walnutchen

thanks beebee

12:26 pm

Vicuna

(The math term, that is, not statistics! Ha!)

12:26 pm

musicmom

I use geometry and algebra all the time in quilting

12:26 pm

stidmama

I LOVE stats, but don't use more than the basic concepts now. Never took it past my one class in college.

12:26 pm

musicmom

Also more advanced functions of division and multiplication in budgeting and meal planning.

12:26 pm

raelite

I've played clarinet semi-pro for 15 years...just because I can't figure out infinite equations I have a learning disability? what-ev! He was a sexist pig.

12:26 pm

musicmom

Someone just needed to show me when and where i would use it in high school and I would have done better.

12:27 pm

TheFiz

i agree mm

12:27 pm

musicmom

Really raelite? Classical, jazz or some other genre of clarinet

12:27 pm

stidmama

I use proportions and such all the time in art, cooking and gardening... but I am a real master of the "looks like about enough" method of culinary arts!

12:27 pm

musicmom

I do that too stid. I use the math more at the grocery in bargain shopping

12:27 pm

musicmom

I amaze Sarah by doing that kind of thing in my head

12:27 pm

raelite

I play all kinds of music and write/improv my own stuff too

12:27 pm

Atalante

A lot of my PhD was stats based. making up stats half the time LOL! but my husband works in quantitative finance - VERY high end maths!

12:27 pm

stidmama

OOH! I love clarinet music! my grandad played clarinet in the band when he was in the Navy!

12:27 pm

Vicuna

Some kinds of math show up constantly in real life, others not at all.

12:28 pm

musicmom

I would have never believed I coudl do that when I was in HS

12:28 pm

musicmom

Very cool Raelite. Do you have a recording?

12:28 pm

Vicuna

Unfortunatly, the ones I liked best don't seem to show up as much as plain old multiplication tables, which I've never liked!

12:28 pm

inge

hello everyone. I am back for my final eight. Any help for the third set of tw's, tw 4/8 and tw 5/18??

12:28 pm

raelite

I figured out later that they just make you do that so you can learn to handle weird problems

12:28 pm

stidmama

riemann does really theoretical stuff. He's been trying to explain it to me for fifteen years... *sigh* I am smart, just not in that way.

12:29 pm

raelite

no, I don't have any recordings...I'm too shy for that! I used to play in a band, but there are other probs that interfered

12:29 pm

musicmom

LOL raelite.

12:29 pm

musicmom

I always thought my hs teacher was just doing those things to show off

12:29 pm

beebee

inge- betw***

12:29 pm

majmom

de 5/20 andde6/33 any clues please

12:29 pm

raelite

In university I took a class on the history of math...I like to tell people it's my only A in math

12:29 pm

beebee

drop the n for the 4

12:29 pm

stidmama

good morning, inge! I got curious the other day about bromeliads, and on a hunch typed in the plant and your last name -- please tell your hubby that his website is really wonderful and now I am just going to HAVE to add to my plant collection!

12:30 pm

musicmom

Hi inge!

12:30 pm

Vicuna

de5/20 - some sort of Indian dignitary? anyway, de + pale

12:30 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Inge, by the way.

12:30 pm

TheFiz

hi inge!

12:30 pm

stidmama

isn't that another spelling for a sofa, Vi?

12:30 pm

raelite

for some reason I keep seeing walnut in the puzzle... :S

12:31 pm

musicmom

Chat is flying by did I miss the starting letters for the other 8? I have de 8

12:31 pm

majmom

ty vicuna-not sure re dignitary but got the other

12:31 pm

Atalante

I do like practical maths, but I don't like theoretical maths. I keep trying to get husband to explain to me why 1 + 1 = 2 in pure maths is aplicable in the real world where such certainty doesnt exist

12:31 pm

Vicuna

Not that i know of. That would be divan, as far as I know. But there are no shortage of alternate enable spellings I've never heard of!

12:31 pm

beebee

music- se8/65

12:32 pm

torgone

mm - se8/65

12:32 pm

stidmama

yippee! I am past halfway! I am running down to the fruit stand and picking up any fresh corn and apples they may have... need anything while I'm there?

12:32 pm

Atalante

or diwan

12:32 pm

riemann

No one makes money from 1 + 1 = 2. But Enron made a lot with 1 - 1 = 43.

12:32 pm

beebee

inge- did you get your tw's?

12:32 pm

musicmom

thanks torg and bee - off to look for it

12:32 pm

inge

yes, he is very good in writing articles about bromelieads as well. He has been writing the SEMBS newsletter for several years. I think all his pictures and articles ought to make a good book.

12:32 pm

inge

no tw's arrived yet

12:32 pm

musicmom

bye stid. Please don't run - walk carefully. I woul dlove some peaches if htey have any

12:32 pm

TheFiz

ooh, just got the se8. how fun!

12:32 pm

Atalante

1 + 1 = 2 is an interesting concept though!

12:33 pm

torgone

Yellow sweet corn would be nice . .

12:33 pm

musicmom

inge - add a w to the word for 13-19year olds

12:33 pm

musicmom

and the plural

12:33 pm

beebee

inge- betw***- drop the n for the 4

12:33 pm

TheFiz

stid any berries left this time of year for you?

12:33 pm

musicmom

and drop the n for a 4

12:33 pm

Vicuna

Fresh corn on the cob is one of my favorite foods in the whole entire world.

12:33 pm

Atalante

mmmmm fresh corn please!

12:33 pm

stidmama

YES, inge, I agree. between the gorgeous watercolors and the easily understood text, a book by him would be excellent.

12:34 pm

stidmama

Fiz, I can send Grant out to pick some blackberries... there should be more raspberries by now, too.

12:34 pm

Atalante

same here Vicuna. probably my absolute favouriite

12:34 pm

inge

I have that tw set, must be the one preceding that I am missing

12:34 pm

musicmom

do you have the yucky word for female parts and the plural?

12:34 pm

beebee

inge- another word for the ugly cu@@ word we had

12:34 pm

Vicuna

But I'm too stingy to get it except the one or two weeks a year when the prices are the lowest.

12:35 pm

TheFiz

mmmm. that would be great stid. our raspberries dried up early with the heat wave - and haven't regenerated.

12:35 pm

torgone

All we seem to get out here is white corn .. Really miss Ohio yellow ..

12:35 pm

inge

I have the Scottish variation of tw words, and the begining of Christmas poem, what am I mssing?

12:35 pm

musicmom

your missing the yucky words inge

12:35 pm

Atalante

ooooh poor you, its grown right here so we get it pouring through the shops, at least about now!

12:35 pm

musicmom

tw+preposition

12:35 pm

stidmama

LOL -- okay, corn if they have it, yellow for tor; berries for Fiz and I'll see what else looks good. later all!

12:36 pm

12:41 pm

musicmom

It was great fun for them to jump off the at the bottom and then watch me bounce.

12:41 pm

Vicuna

We didn't have se6's in my youth - nor swings! They were deemed too dangerous!

12:41 pm

musicmom

Raelite - that is harsh too

12:41 pm

raelite

se6: the present and past tense of sight

12:41 pm

RocDragon

another of the co6 words sounds like the french ocean explorer jacque co---, minus the 3rd & 4th letters

12:42 pm

musicmom

They can be painful vic

horrible memories of the playground as a thin popular child- the playground just sucked regardless

12:42 pm

Atalante

oh! ty raelite!

12:43 pm

raelite

I liked the swings. np :)

12:43 pm

Vicuna

Yes, but as soon as I left elementary school, they removed all the equipment we had had because IT was too dangerous -- and they put back the swings!

12:43 pm

musicmom

Thanks for that co - Roc. That was the one I was missing

12:43 pm

Atalante

I was always the tallest too ...

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

musicmom

I like swings too. I liked anything I could play independently

12:43 pm

beebee

but the worst was that round thing - what was it called- people would push so fast you just couldn't hold on and go flying off

12:43 pm

musicmom

Death loop is more like it

I'm not a big fan of being frightened, either, musicmom! (Although other sorts of excitement are nice!)

12:48 pm

Atalante

*refrresh* crappy pic, but its the only one I could find. thats a small one, usually about 3-4m across - they go round and round and tilt side to side all a bit randomly

12:48 pm

RocDragon

I looked it up:
Back in the seventies, no British playground was complete without the fantastically dangerous Witch's Hat â€” a large cone with a narrow brim to stand on, which pivoted and span on a central pole. The big kids invariably hanging round it smoking would spin it so fast that falling off was something you did only once. Also, it was designed to have the precise ground clearance needed to trap the leg of a careless child. To add to the thrill, the rough, hi-graze concrete it was on would be littered with dog $%#! and broken glass. Never did me any harm though. Apart from three weeks in hospital and a lifelong phobia of cones that is, but I see that as character building.

12:48 pm

raelite

OMG!! that thing looks so angerous!

6:36 pm

babblinanm

That's a beautiful picture you have up Judy...where is it from?

I've been in California as far north as the Napa Valley. Never made it to Oregon or Washington or Western Canada, although I wish I could see it some day.

6:43 pm

I would love to visit Napa. The pictures I see of it look so peaceful.

6:44 pm

6:44 pm

7:08 pm

lbdawger

Stid, i need more info about your gloat.

7:08 pm

CiociaJudy

Is there more to that Stid?

7:08 pm

Angela

ew! no split pea for me. i was in 8th grade at the time so i wasn't too into the culinart delights of the local culture :) maybe a second chance someday!

7:08 pm

stidmama

A few years back, a friend asked me to help redo his website. So I did. And though I don't really promote myself for html work, each year he gives me a little more work. I just finished updating his site... I don't want to be commercial, but I just think the honey his bees produce is the most lovely in the world!

7:08 pm

Angela

the 17 mile drive was gorgeous though Ted, you're right

7:09 pm

PappouTed

and we were lucky that we had a clear day all the way. They said that was a rarity

7:09 pm

lbdawger

ahh, so we should search for anderson split pea soup and see your handywork!

7:09 pm

Angela

nice! what a great bonus for you and the family!

7:10 pm

Angela

so stid - what's the site? sounds cool...

7:10 pm

CiociaJudy

Does that split pea soup come with peach cobber? lol *still licking lips waiting for cobbler*

7:10 pm

stidmama

No no, I don't do the split pea website.... just love the soup!

7:10 pm

PappouTed

stid, sounds more interesting than my site, I update the school's website

7:10 pm

stidmama

fourbsfarm.com

7:11 pm

Angela

going right now Stid - brb

7:11 pm

stidmama

I still need to make the cobbler, when Tom came home I got all distracted.

7:11 pm

stidmama

school websites are hard, I think because there are so many "updations" as one of my kids used to call them.

7:12 pm

PappouTed

and you're so restricted

7:12 pm

PappouTed

the holly looks pretty

7:13 pm

stidmama

Yes, and you have to use whatever WYSIWYG software they tell you to. I hard code most things... it's just easier for me.

7:13 pm

featherbee

i'm back

7:13 pm

lbdawger

cool site Stid. i googled anderson split pea what a silly site! hap pea and pea wee! lol

7:13 pm

7:14 pm

stidmama

co 6/24 sounds like that undersea explorer Jacques only without the S in the middle

7:14 pm

CiociaJudy

Hi Feather! Holly wreaths sound awesome, Stid.

7:14 pm

stidmama

and without the U either...

7:15 pm

PappouTed

the district has a company that we use for websites. That way they supply the templates and everything is uniform. I just use simple html to give the page color

7:15 pm

lbdawger

maj, like jacques co------ the underwater dude...except dont use the s.

7:15 pm

stidmama

"The holly and the ivy, now both are full well grown, of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown."

7:15 pm

featherbee

ok, i have a big ole blank section where the SUs are supposed to be...oh, wait, i just got hte 5/12. may i have a hand with any of the others? cluer's choice!

7:15 pm

Jacula

Goodness, is it Christmas aleady??

7:15 pm

Angela

very nice job stid - the honey looks tempting

7:15 pm

stidmama

Well, there is something to be said for uniformity, I suppose.

7:16 pm

Jacula

Having said that, (Hell everyone, btw), I'll be making the Christmas cakes in about 2 weeks...

7:16 pm

stidmama

SU 6-- what hindu wives used to do when their husbands died and then plural...

7:16 pm

stidmama

hi Jacula.

7:16 pm

stidmama

Only Christmas for retailers and wholesalers... and those who work for them!

7:16 pm

CiociaJudy

And Hell to you Jac. ROFL

7:16 pm

PappouTed

7:16 pm

majmom

ty stidmama

7:16 pm

Jacula

Hi stid. I like the honey & holly site. It looks uncluttered and v. professional.

7:17 pm

PappouTed

jacula, what kind of cakes do you make?

7:17 pm

featherbee

stid, i'm sadly lacking in knowledge of hindu wives...

7:17 pm

featherbee

*smack* thanks pappou

7:17 pm

Jacula

Oops, Judy! Meant 'already' and 'HellO'. LOL.

7:17 pm

stidmama

thanks Jacula! uncluttered is my pet peeve. I don't like lots of flashing, dancing things.

7:17 pm

lbdawger

7:18 pm

Wyrd

stidmama, a bit of both, had a garage sale

7:18 pm

Jacula

Pappou - just traditional fruit cakes that I 'feed' with brandy & sherry a bit up until 2 weeks before Christmas, when I marzipan & ice them.

7:18 pm

Wyrd

and now i have to clean up!

7:18 pm

stidmama

oh Wyrd -- those are so exhausting! I hope you were successful...

7:18 pm

CiociaJudy

su6 & 7 - su + double consonant + double vowel / and plural

7:18 pm

Wyrd

always am, and i get rid of alot of things, which is always a plus

7:19 pm

Jacula

Stid - Well, you might remember how much I moaned to Jamie (Dr_G) about this site when it changed. I've got used to it now, though...

7:19 pm

PappouTed

sounds good, jacula. I don't know why fruit cakes get some a bad break. They are delicious

7:19 pm

stidmama

That's great! We had one yard sale a few years back. But we are so far out of town that it was barely worth the effort -- and LOTS of the big stuff didn't sell (and is still cluttering the living room...)

7:19 pm

featherbee

bless you judy! i had the first 4 letters, was struggling for the last ones!

7:20 pm

CiociaJudy

I make whiskey cakes for Christmas. Never got into fruit cakes.

7:20 pm

Jacula

PappouTed - I agree, re the fruitcakes.

7:20 pm

Wyrd

stidmama, thats when you donate and get a tax rite off, but location certainly helps

7:20 pm

CiociaJudy

7:20 pm

CiociaJudy

7:21 pm

Jacula

My ex-hubby's Grandfather used to put so much whisky & rum in his Xmas cakes that you'd get drunk just sniffing them... and they were gooey! YUK!

7:25 pm

Jacula

Nut lost thee dog she found? How? What happened??

7:26 pm

lbdawger

7:26 pm

CiociaJudy

And the shelter is a 48 hour "kill" shelter

7:26 pm

judy--I love snakes...

7:31 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, I didn't mean by 'just moved in' that the cats are new to me, I meant they took one look at me some years ago, though, 'She looks like a mug!' and wheeled their suitcases in!

7:32 pm

pinecone05

I meant lb!

7:32 pm

Ping

pine cone, my cat hasn't been tested but i suspect her results might be similar

7:32 pm

7:33 pm

Snakes aren't slimey at all, they'e sort of warm and scaley.

pinecone - I know I shouldn't laugh, your poor cat... it's just that it's normally the other way around...

7:35 pm

CiociaJudy

and how did you come to have 2 rats dogluver?

7:35 pm

pam

nice clue, lbd, but a stupidhead word, lol

7:35 pm

pam

what is the theme?

7:35 pm

pinecone05

Jac--do the cats bother the g. pigs?

7:35 pm

Dogluver

i adopted them from the animal shelter :p

7:35 pm

CiociaJudy

*wonder how that peach cobbler is coming along*

7:36 pm

Dogluver

where, by the way, they spay and neuter mice and rats

7:36 pm

CiociaJudy

the theme is a pic of a word in the grid

7:36 pm

lbdawger

yes it is Pam, 3,245,791 i believe...lol

7:36 pm

Jacula

pam - if we're still on the Friday theme, then it's 'take a word from the grid and use your icon to give a clue'.

7:36 pm

pam

thanks!

7:36 pm

pam

lol, lbd!!!!!!

7:36 pm

pinecone05

I think about having a hamster...but with two cats I would hate for the little guy to become a snack

7:37 pm

Jacula

pinecone - No, the cats don't bother the g/pigs and rabbits because the g/pigs and rabbits have their own purpose built shed. (Big hutches & runs, heat, light, air etc.)

7:37 pm

CiociaJudy

I'm not going to picture that pinecone!

7:37 pm

lbdawger

pine, you could get one of those tube tunnel things and really drive everyone nuts!

7:37 pm

Jacula

pinecone - If you do get a hamster, do't buy a Russian, go for a Siberian. Russians bite!

7:37 pm

featherbee

done!

7:39 pm

Jacula

pinecone - Having said that about hamsters, it's probably best NOT to have one in the vicinity of cats. Hamsters (like mice) are notorious escapers... A hamster I gave to a friend with a cat did end up as lunch for the moggy.:(

7:39 pm

GMO

Thanks..got it

7:39 pm

Hi, ata!

7:41 pm

lbd - I hope he was potty trained! (The rat, not the room mate. Mind you, I hope the room mate was, too!)

7:41 pm

CiociaJudy

lol Jac

7:41 pm

Atalante

when he got to the 8th hamster, he decided that maybe hamsters and cats didn't go together ...

7:42 pm

Jacula

Ata - I bet your cat looked at them exercising in their cage at night and though, 'Yummy! Meals on Wheels!'

7:42 pm

lbdawger

roommate was great, and the rat was too, except when i'd come home from class and want to crash...there that darn rat would be just daring me to move him

7:42 pm

pam

oh, my...8?

7:42 pm

CiociaJudy

ROFL Jac

7:42 pm

Dogluver

if you get two rats they'll keep each other company so you can leave them in the cage more, so they wont sleep on your pillow

7:42 pm

oh jac! rofl

7:42 pm

7:43 pm

pam

on a non-animal related topic? Has anyone read Philip Pullman?

7:43 pm

Atalante

I bet he did! the hamsters used to have a small ball which they could roll around in on the floor. Cat used to pick up the ball in his mouth and drag it off!

7:43 pm

lbdawger

second one, put your gear away on board ship

7:43 pm

CiociaJudy

st + female sheep + consonant

7:43 pm

Jacula

GMO - st6/33 = past tense of st4/8. (A hearty 'soup'.)

7:43 pm

lbdawger

the golden compass series? yes!

7:44 pm

pam

yes, lbd, that one!

7:44 pm

pam

I am enjlying the first book

7:44 pm

Jacula

GMO - st6/33 (2nd one) = put the cargo in the hold (nautical). Or what the st**away did!

7:44 pm

pam

REALLY enjoying!

7:44 pm

GMO

thanks for both = : )

7:44 pm

lbdawger

good reads. i think a bit complicated for the age group he supposedly wrote them for.

7:45 pm

chj

i think the series is called His Dark Materials

7:45 pm

lbdawger

the subtle knife is kinda scary

7:45 pm

Jacula

No, pam. Not read any Philip Pulman.

7:45 pm

chj

i read the trilogy a few years ago

7:45 pm

Atalante

fabulous books

7:45 pm

pam

I think a 12-year old would LOVE it, as long as they were a good reader

7:45 pm

lbdawger

yes chj, that's it!

7:45 pm

Yes, you are right, chj

7:45 pm

I am so enjoying it the way I like to enjoy fantasy!

7:46 pm

Jacula

Ata - Oh dear! I can just picture that. Did the hamsters die of heart failure?

7:46 pm

Atalante

unless you're in the UK, when its Northern Lights

7:46 pm

chj

the golden compass, the subtle knife and the amber spyglass

7:46 pm

pam

jac, I think you might enjoy it

7:46 pm

lbdawger

it's a good book. i enjoyed it when i read it, and it will be one i re-read too

7:47 pm

Atalante

well they never seemed to last very long ......

7:47 pm

chj

i really enjoyed them...i heard some time ago that the were making them into a movie

7:47 pm

pam

hate to see movies of books i've read...

7:47 pm

lbdawger

that would be interesting to see on film. and with the cgi getting better each year...wow1

7:48 pm

Atalante

I don't think I'd want to see them on film ... they are just too perfect as books!

7:48 pm

lbdawger

depends on who the screenwriter and director is, as to how well the story will be done

7:48 pm

pam

cgi, lbd?

FranMag

hi everybody!!

7:49 pm

lbdawger

Hi Fran!

7:49 pm

Jacula

Ata - I never understand why they give books different titles in UK & US. For instance, Robert James Waller's book was called 'Love In Black and White' in US, but 'The Bridges of Madison County' in the rest of the world (and for the film, with Clint Eastwood & Meryl Streep). I bought the book under the US title in Portugal, of all places. (That was before the film came out.)

jane, it's like the picture but with a different vowel and really has nothing to do with the guy in the pic.

8:09 pm

Jacula

Ata - if it's M&S pre-prepared food, then I 'forgive' you. So cheap and easy to make your own, though...

8:09 pm

herinfernallady

jac is that marks and spencers?

8:09 pm

lbdawger

tiramisu...where? *drool*

8:09 pm

Atalante

I make my own Italian food, 99 times out of 100, but I *do* love that M&S chicken ready made one!

8:09 pm

Jacula

Also, making your own, you can bung all your favourite things into it.

Anniebrook

lbdawger and Stid, you need to put some saran wrap over your keyboard

8:11 pm

Atalante

its really nice - not as heavy as beef / bolognaisey lasagne. the only problem is you can therefore eat twice as much of it!

8:11 pm

Jacula

Oh YUK, hate olives! I made myself try them again when in Crete (yes, yes, yes! I AM writing the travelog slowly), but still didn't like 'em.

mackey in aus had 36 000 cartoons of bananas now there is 4% of that due to a cyclone and now we have to wait till chrissy or next year so they are tasty

8:15 pm

Atalante

superfine

8:15 pm

scampyfan

anyone with ce5/12?

8:15 pm

stidmama

8:16 pm

lbdawger

8:18 pm

lbdawger

co plus color the sun turns you

8:18 pm

Jacula

Stid - I think we need to set up some kind of UK/US conversion table on my recipes thread in BabAnon. Not just me, but all of us contributing until we get a table that makes sense to all of us.

8:18 pm

stidmama

thanks all!

8:18 pm

lbdawger

herin where are you from?

8:18 pm

scampyfan

8:19 pm

lbdawger

well, that made no sense...your welcome scampy

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

brb

8:19 pm

stidmama

That would be very helpful, Jacula! I know I can find the info online "somewhere" but I only seem to need it when I get together with other babblers.

8:19 pm

lbdawger

did any of you ever watch "two fat ladies" cooking show? i loved them and learned so much about the UK terms

8:20 pm

stidmama

so Atalante -- why are you up so late/early? I know Jacula

8:20 pm

stidmama

Jacula's a night owl...

8:21 pm

stidmama

I always thought I was doing well to convert grams to ounces and such. Then I read Jacula's recipe and see "swedes" and such and realize I am truly in another country!

8:21 pm

Atalante

well ... I had really bad asthma a day or two ago, nearly ended up in hospital, since then I've been resting with a capital R and now cos I've rested all day, I'm wide awake!

8:21 pm

Jacula

Ata - any contribution or input there would be most welcome.

8:21 pm

Ping

helpt with the second EA 5/10?

8:22 pm

stidmama

oh NO! Atalante, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you figured out and eliminated the trigger!

8:22 pm

inge

I will gladly help with that conversion table, since I am forever using German recipees.

8:22 pm

Jacula

Stid - was that the st4/8 recipe?

8:22 pm

stidmama

Ping -- I am going to consume my dinner. When finished, I will have ea 5 it.

8:22 pm

Jacula

Inge - thank you, also!

8:22 pm

stidmama

guten abend, inge!

8:22 pm

Ping

thanks, stid

8:22 pm

Jacula

Enjoy, Stid!

8:22 pm

Anniebrook

ea==food that has gone done your gullet

8:23 pm

Ping

thanks, annie

8:23 pm

stidmama

I think so, Jacula -- there were two recipes that called for swedes. I was wondering if they had to be blond or if any swede would do...

8:23 pm

Atalante

its a yearly thing. I always get bad asthma in this week of August! must be related to something in the fields I think. However, this year is the first year so far I've managed to stay out of hospital ... so I'm feeling very pleased with myself!

8:23 pm

Anniebrook

lol

8:23 pm

Atalante

the blonder the better!

8:23 pm

stidmama

Well. good then. Maybe you'll grow out of it yet!

8:23 pm

Anniebrook

laughing at Stid....

8:24 pm

Jacula

LOL Stid!

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

stid confectioners sugar is what your looking for as its sifted castor suger

8:24 pm

Jacula

Ata - glad to hear you've done better this year. I wonder if the dry spell before helped or hindered?

8:25 pm

herinfernallady

not good atalante.

8:25 pm

inge

Hi Stid, I was busy scrolling back in the chat.

8:25 pm

stidmama

thanks, her!

8:25 pm

herinfernallady

stid my partner used to be a pastry cook

8:26 pm

Atalante

hopefully! getting stuck in hospital each year is not my idea of fun! I don't know, Jac. Helped I think, cos often rain triggers allergies. But I've been doing a lot of preventive medicating this year, taking steroids before I actually *need* them and stuff, and it seems to be working bar a few hours here and then

8:26 pm

inge

by the way, Stid, my husband also likes to bake. Has his own breadmachine and fixres breakfast with waffles, etc.

8:26 pm

stidmama

mmmm pastry. I think I was a pastry cook in a former life. I used to love eclairs and cream puffs and petit fours, and...

8:26 pm

stidmama

Men who bake are SOOOO sexy! (imho)

8:27 pm

Jacula

Sugar - sugar in UK is graded thus: lump sugar, with is chunks or globules or brown or white sugar used for sweetening drinks. Granulated sugar, used for drinks and in cooking. Caster sugar - finer grains than granulated sugar, usually used in making sponge cakes etc. Icing sugar - used for making iced cakes, frosting etc.

8:27 pm

stidmama

My Tom pretty much controls our breakfasts on the weekends.

8:27 pm

inge

I'll have to tell him that, hope he can take it!!!

8:27 pm

pinecone05

I've been reading a cupcake blog lately...and it makes me want to bake cupcakes! http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.co
m/2006/08/frosting-lust.html

8:27 pm

Atalante

icing sugar = confectioners sugar, caster = superfine or near enough, granulated is I think the same in the US (?)

8:27 pm

herinfernallady

inge waffles, i make bread from scratch and don't have a machine. Grannie used to make bread just after she got up and stuck the dough in the bed to rise

8:28 pm

stidmama

hello pinecone!

8:28 pm

pinecone05

hello stidmama...you are making me hungry!

8:28 pm

stidmama

back after dinner.

8:28 pm

inge

I only make my Stollen by hand

8:29 pm

Jacula

herinfern - Bread, or rather dough, is the one thing I am rubbish at making... I don't seem to be able to get enough aggression into the kneading/pounding stage. (Maybe I should try again on a day when the Babbler server is playing up??)

8:29 pm

inge

and my husbland grew up in western Pa with five siblings, all bread was baked once a week from scratch

8:30 pm

pinecone05

that's a lot of work inge

8:30 pm

Jacula

During the bread strikes of the 70's in UK my poor ex-hubby had to make do with 'unleavened bread' for his sandwiches.

8:31 pm

Jacula

Thing is... it wasn't supposed to be unleavened..

8:31 pm

inge

yea, but ot in the thirties adn forties. My Stollen only take a couple of days to make, but have to sit in cool space for 3-6 weeks. I usually bake during the Tnanksgiving break.

8:31 pm

Jacula

He wasn't my ex-hubby then, btw. He was was new hubby! And, no, don't anyone dare even speculate!!! LOL

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

8:34 pm

Jacula

herinfern - I didn't think it worked in an oven (the 'put in a warm place to rise' bit). I have a low setting on my own and so I will try that. I'll try Chelsea buns next week.

8:34 pm

thatonekid

8:34 pm

Jacula

Ata - no, not me. I don't do the yeast recipes. LOL.

8:34 pm

I was going to say, but didn't like to, as a child was present, that the Pluto thing may well last about as long as the one where they started pronouncing Uranus ' 'U Run Us' instead of 'Your Anus'.

debbinla

i did jac

8:58 pm

debbinla

oh well - at least i'm done - thanks for the help everyone

8:58 pm

Jacula

No, jillia - he was quite specific over his pronunciation, prob. because he thought the change quite ridiculous.

8:58 pm

stidmama

I will start the story in a few minutes. People who missed last night's will be lost unless they get caught up at http://p105.ezboard.com/fbabblersanony

I suppose it depends on how you pronounce urine.

8:59 pm

Anniebrook

jilli - but it isn't urine, it's urun.

stidmama

Paul has almost taken us to the land he believes he came from. He is traveling with Aema who has taken on the role of teacher and guide, and she has asked several questions, each time giving him an article of clothing to replace his rather worn travel gear.

9:08 pm

jillibus

took a refill break - if jac's still here I just want to say that over here in North America urine is pronounced urun.

9:09 pm

lbdawger

night pam

9:09 pm

stidmama

Gilly was nestled in Paul's arms, eyes almost closed, listening intently. His voice was deep and strong, and the melody in his words seemed to send her into a dream... she could see his journey, hear Aema's voice, feel the air and the movement of the cart as Paul and Aema traveled on through the night.

9:10 pm

stidmama

Paul continued his story...

9:10 pm

stidmama

Soon we the walls began moving away from us, the trail broader and better paved.

9:12 pm

stidmama

A few grasses and flowers now emerged from the base of the cliffs, and every so often a small animal -- a hare or small cat-like animal would dart away and disappear through a crack in the wall.

9:13 pm

LeslieAnn

tw 6/36?

9:13 pm

stidmama

Aema changed her song, and it was as if she sang the sun into the new day.

9:14 pm

jillibus

add the sometimes vowel to the 5/18 before it

9:14 pm

inge

the tw 5/18 preceding plus sometime vowel

9:14 pm

stidmama

I listened, fascinated, catching a few words here and there.

9:14 pm

lbdawger

inbet**** with sometimes vowel

9:14 pm

LeslieAnn

oh man! it had to be *that* easy, huh?

9:14 pm

jillibus

beautiful image, stid

9:14 pm

lbdawger

<*)))<<< just for you leslie

9:15 pm

stidmama

The swallows gave way to other birds; and the walls grew white, tinged violet with the dawn.

9:15 pm

LeslieAnn

thanks lb ;)

9:16 pm

stidmama

Finally, on the left there was a small carving, then a placard on the right in the same characters as on the stone piles at the river.

9:16 pm

stidmama

A statue of an elegant person -- I could not tell man or woman -- stood serenely by a pool with a waterfall.

9:17 pm

stidmama

Here, we stopped one last time. Aema took the jenny off the harness and led her into the pool.

9:18 pm

stidmama

Coming out, what had been a tired, thin mule was a handsome, energetic beast.

9:18 pm

stidmama

The water in the pool turned gray, but quickly cleared.

9:19 pm

stidmama

Aema stooped and washed her face and hands. Then she turned to me.

9:19 pm

Dorens

good evening all

9:19 pm

LeslieAnn

hey dorens

9:19 pm

stidmama

"Paulo, before you enter the pool, you must tell me: Why have you made this journey? What do you hope will result? What is the greatest treasure?"

9:19 pm

stidmama

good evening Dorens! new icon!

9:20 pm

jillibus

hello dorens

9:20 pm

stidmama

I looked at her and found the answers to my questions of the previous weeks.

9:20 pm

jillibus

beautiful icon! what is it?

9:20 pm

stidmama

"I made this journey to find out about myself."

9:21 pm

stidmama

"I hope to become a better man for it."

9:21 pm

stidmama

"The greatest treasure is Love."

9:21 pm

Dorens

clue for the day, stid

9:22 pm

jillibus

got it, dorens

9:22 pm

stidmama

Aema nodded solemnly, and pointed me into the pool.

9:22 pm

stidmama

I started to disrobe, but she laughed and pushed me in.

9:22 pm

stidmama

Startled, I swallowed some of the water and came up spluttering.

9:23 pm

stidmama

The water was -- sweet? or perhaps just so clean? --

9:23 pm

LeslieAnn

he 5/22? not the past tense word. 3 left...

9:23 pm

stidmama

I ducked my head under and walked out, wiping the water from my face, shaking my hair.

9:24 pm

Ping

wy 4?

9:24 pm

stidmama

he 5/22 casts a spell on

9:24 pm

Anniebrook

*sits down quietly* congrats, LA

9:25 pm

stidmama

Aema was waiting, holding boots and a belt. She smiled approvingly.

9:26 pm

stidmama

Paulo, you have traveled far, and will journey even further before you have all your questions answered.

9:26 pm

stidmama

"Close your eyes now, and tell me what you see."

9:27 pm

stidmama

I held the boots while I closed my eyes.

9:27 pm

stidmama

"I see -- my home. I must be standing in the middle of the field. I can see the barn, the house ..."

9:28 pm

stidmama

I could feel tears springing from my eyes.

9:28 pm

Munner

de 7 & 8 combo?

9:28 pm

stidmama

"I see my wife, working in the field with the children, weeding around the small plants."

9:29 pm

stidmama

"There is a large bird above, it must be an eagle. I can't hear anything."

9:30 pm

jillibus

de = ce*** & desist and plural

9:30 pm

Eva

munner-think mortality

9:30 pm

stidmama

"I see -- that must be the baby... holding tight to my wife's skirt and following in her footsteps. Why doesn't she pull the weeds like the others?"

9:30 pm

stidmama

I could feel Aema's hand on my shoulder.

9:31 pm

stidmama

From far away, came the sound of a song. The image faded and I opened my eyes.

9:31 pm

stidmama

"Oh Aema -- my family!"

9:32 pm

stidmama

And I found myself in her embrace, sobbing.

9:32 pm

stidmama

Aema continued to sing, and finally I was able to look around.

9:33 pm

stidmama

The jenny had walked up and was nuzzling me. Aema gave her a pat on the forelock and led her back to the cart and began to hitch her up.

9:33 pm

stidmama

I pulled on my boots and the belt. Like all the other clothes, they fit without struggle.

9:34 pm

stidmama

Climbing into the cart, I noticed that it seemed a bit smaller than before.

9:34 pm

stidmama

Then I realized that the boots were of thicker leather with heels. I laughed, and Aema smiled.

9:35 pm

stidmama

I ran my hands through my hair and looked at her. She nodded and we began to move on.

9:36 pm

stidmama

Another statue, a tablet with some ornamentation, a bit of stonework at the base of the walls.

9:36 pm

stidmama

The cliffs were receding, leaning backward into the mountains and pulling away from the road.

9:37 pm

stidmama

We came out of the pass and I saw a wide land stretched out ahead.

9:37 pm

stidmama

There were fields as far as the eye could see, with small farmsteads and clusters of houses every so often.

9:38 pm

stidmama

There were larger towns scattered among the smaller villages.

9:38 pm

stidmama

The land was ringed by mountains, with a large plateau in the center.

9:39 pm

stidmama

The plateau was surmounted by towers -- dozens of them, reaching up into the sky.

9:40 pm

stidmama

I turned to Aema, "This is your home?"

9:40 pm

evanonut

i've always wanted to see a plateau

9:40 pm

stidmama

She nodded, "Yes, but Paulo -- it may not be your home. Do not get your hopes up."

9:41 pm

stidmama

I like the plateau at Thanksgiving, nut -- filled with turkey, stuffing, roasted veggies...

9:41 pm

evanonut

lol stiddy!

9:42 pm

Atalante

everything is coming back round to food tonight!

9:42 pm

stidmama

I breathed in the air -- it felt as good as the water in the pool. Clean. There was energy here; peace and joy and possibility.

9:42 pm

evanonut

food? - gimme some! don't ya'll go hoarding it.

9:42 pm

stidmama

"Well," I said, "Home or not, this is where I will look for answers."

9:43 pm

inge

nutty, that was before storytime. You were late, ergo no food now!

9:43 pm

KMS

I got the black box that says "congratulations, you

9:44 pm

stidmama

A jangling sound from behind startled me, and I turned. Several muscled men pulled up on large horses and saluted Aema.

9:44 pm

evanonut

ingy - you are like the seinfeld soup nazi!

9:44 pm

KMS

have completed todays puzzle, but no fireworks, anyone else?

9:44 pm

stidmama

YAY KMS! (old fashioned fireworks time)

9:46 pm

inge

KMS, did yo pay your dues and fill out a profite?

9:46 pm

stidmama

Aema inclined her head slightly and smiled as one man dismounted and came up. He bowed deeply.

9:46 pm

stidmama

"Aema, we are pleased to find you have arrived. I trust your passage was pleasant."

9:47 pm

She laughed and the music was picked up by the bells on the horses' tack.

9:47 pm

stidmama

Hm. Don't know. Sometimes that happens, KMS. I've never figured out why.

9:47 pm

The man turned to me, but Aema made a gesture and he merely saluted and remounted.

9:48 pm

KMS

It's not a big deal. I'm happy just to finish. But I'm ready for one of those 50 word grids.

9:48 pm

They rode on, a few in front, a few behind, and the man who had spoken on the side nearest the valley as we descended.

9:49 pm

Occasionally, he and Aema would converse in their language. I could almost make sense of their speech at times.

They were discussing me. I had the feeling that the tests I had passed might be only the beginning of the strange events to come.

9:51 pm

Paul glanced down at Gilly, who was fast asleep.

9:51 pm

Anniebrook

He smiled, and gently set her down on her pillow, pulling the sheets up.

Dorens

Quietly, he reached underneath and pulled out a small crystal vial on a chain. He put it carefully around his neck under his shirt and got dressed.

9:54 pm

Atalante

finished! and with fireworks!

9:54 pm

Anniebrook

congrats, ata!!!

9:54 pm

The sun was beginning to color the sky in shades of peach and beet-streaked clouds stretched across the sky.

He closed the trunk and tiptoed to the kitchen to stoke the fire. A new day, a new life stretched before his family.

9:56 pm

stidmama

**that's it for today folks, hope it was worth the wait!**

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

Rlee

9:58 pm

Anniebrook

oh Stid, i will definitely keep you here forever!

9:58 pm

stidmama

Veruca, I have been telling a story for 28 days. A new chapter most nights... they are at Babbler's Anonymous in the "Other Interests" section

9:58 pm

10:00 pm

Atalante

they are set in "alternate" 15th century England. really wonderful books. "The Language of Stones" and "The Giant's Dance"

10:00 pm

Rlee

no, i just got her

10:00 pm

stidmama

Does the water spray work on cats RLee? It helps to discourage dogs from some behaviors.

10:01 pm

Atalante

just grin and bear it Rlee until she gets used to you enough to discourage her more easily!

10:01 pm

stidmama

On the other hand, maybe you just need to weat extra layers for a bit... it's still technically winter for you!

10:01 pm

Rlee

i will try anything, mind you baby is very jealous , will not have anything to do with her

10:01 pm

stidmama

okay, really outta here for a bit.

10:01 pm

Rlee

i have a blanket over my lap for that reason :p

10:02 pm

Anniebrook

rlee, a scratching post would be helpful and a lot of petting and thick clothes

10:02 pm

Veruca

so you all are against the de-clawing? (LOL)

10:02 pm

Atalante

unless she'll let you cut them, but if she's a nervy stray, I can't imagine she would

10:02 pm

Dorens

bye stid....enjoy your cobbler

10:02 pm

Rlee

thank you for suggestions will try them

10:02 pm

Anniebrook

later stid

10:03 pm

Rlee

no she will come to you , but if you make a move to her she bolts

10:03 pm

Anniebrook

she has to get used to you and to trust you....she will

10:04 pm

Atalante

I'd say now isn't the time to start scaring her in any way then. If you can put up with the clawing, I would ... at least for a while until she gets more trusting

10:04 pm

Rlee

yeah will take time, least she has food and a warm home now

10:04 pm

evanonut

all set up for tomorrow

10:04 pm

good evening/morning/aftrenoon everyone

11:13 pm

11:13 pm

FranMag

hi andy!!

11:13 pm

debbinla

hello andree

11:13 pm

debbinla

hello andy

11:14 pm

11:14 pm

andy12489

hello Fran and Deb -5 to go so I have to focus on grid b4 I can focus on chat lol

11:15 pm

Andree

thx Fran for 5/22, for the other I meant we/518

11:15 pm

FranMag

so a word might be found by dictionary.com, but if it's not in enable then it's not a word in the grid

11:16 pm

olivirgin

so enable is just used to define the words, not as a comprehensive list of what words are considered words here lol

11:16 pm

FranMag

andree, great clue i got today was not nooorth

11:16 pm

Andree

need last wa4/8, have thelight bulb

debbinla

lol - i like that fran

11:16 pm

Angb

Andree, there is a we 5/18 that is to think, or could be alternative spelling for another we 5/18

11:16 pm

FranMag

andree, drop a letter from the light bulb word and make it plural

11:16 pm

Andree

great clue Fran

11:17 pm

FranMag

debb, that was torgone's clue, i got it right away
