2:03 am

FMitch

Hi Blaze :)

2:03 am

MVA

thanks fmitch

2:03 am

eliza8eth

question: the word stats are how many words there are with that number of letters, right? What are the repeat letters in the tile stats? One of my s's is 5/5 and one is 0/0?

2:04 am

tazpink

hello all

2:04 am

Blaze

hello taz

2:05 am

Blaze

the tile stats -- that is how many words begin with that tile.... no s words off that one S

2:05 am

sprite

hey tazpink.

eliza: the stats correspond with the tiles in the grid. So from the S-tile with 5/5 start 5 words, you found them all. From the other S-tile with 0/0 doesn't start a single word. First digit is how many words start there, last is how many you have found.

2:05 am

tazpink

blaze and sprite howdy

2:06 am

Blaze

well the cable signal is all screwed up and the household is running amok.... I will keep babbling to protect myself... all hail cable.

Atalante

recipe? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:30 am

FranMag

yay sprite!!!!

3:30 am

tazpink

wow sprite nice

3:31 am

mrpresident

Bring sugar and golden syrup to the boil slowly in a large heavey saucepan, stirring all the time as it will burn easily. After it starts to foam up, simmer gently over a very low heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and still watching it carefully. Remove from heat and add baking soda quickly until it foams up and pour at once into a greased pan or onto a piece of aluminium foil with the edges turned up.

Break it into bits when cold and store in air-tight jars. Be sure to save all the crumbles so that you can top your ice cream with them to make Hokey Pokey Ice-cream.

3:31 am

sprite

BTW Fran, I love your quilt!

3:32 am

FranMag

thanks sprite!

3:33 am

mrpresident

5 tbs sugar
2 tbs golden syrup (must use this!!, not corn syrup)
1 tsp bicarb of soda

3:33 am

sprite

And then you just throw it over vanilla ice cream, mrP?

3:33 am

mrpresident

yes sprite!! stir it through and add caramel for a twist!!

3:33 am

Atalante

throw it over and mix in it!

3:34 am

Atalante

and remember to use a *big* pan, because the stuff expands like mad while being made

3:34 am

mrpresident

YUM!!! *dances off the the freezer to plough head into hokey pokey*

3:34 am

sprite

Great mrP!
What is tbs?
tsp is teaspoon, I think?
And golden syrup... what exactly is that?

3:34 am

mrpresident

too right atalante... you need the bigass pan!

3:34 am

Jencatd

tbs = tablespoon

3:34 am

Atalante

tablespoon

3:35 am

mrpresident

tsp is teaspoon, tbs is tablespoon

3:35 am

Atalante

golden syrup is .. golden syrup lol. um. *thinks*

3:36 am

mrpresident

you can find golden syrup in specialty shops... it is really thick sweet syrup that goes on anything!!! truly a beautiful syrup

3:36 am

Atalante

do you have cane syrup?

3:36 am

sprite

In Holland we have maple syrup, sugar syrup...

3:36 am

FranMag

mrp, that's what's in a violet crumble candy bar isn't it?

3:36 am

mrpresident

yes, it is similar!!

3:36 am

Atalante

maple syrup would do

3:37 am

mrpresident

yes it would atalante...

3:37 am

Atalante

http://www.britshoppe.com/lylgolsyr.ht
ml

3:37 am

sprite

We have cane syrup. That is no specialty here, it goes over pancakes.

3:38 am

mrpresident

alternatively, for a quick fix ... smash up a violet crumble, stir it through the icecream and get busy!!

3:38 am

FranMag

just what i was thinking mrp!

3:39 am

Atalante

golden syrup isn't a specialty here, either! Cane syrup would work, maple syrup would work, and I can always send you some *proper* golden syrup over if you can't find it anywhere!

3:39 am

mrpresident

BUT.... the recipe is the best way to go!! no substitute for yum factor in making it!!

3:39 am

mrpresident

I can send you some too sprite! just let us know!

3:39 am

Atalante

we need a babble warehouse for food swaps from around the world!

tazpink

3:44 am

sprite

Yeah!
It is available in dutch shops, guys. It is called candy syrup (kandijsiroop) or just plain golden syrup, lol (goudstroop). I will go there tomorrow, get me the ingredients and start having a party!

3:45 am

Atalante

3:45 am

Atalante

3:48 am

Atalante

3:49 am

sprite

My kids will have a ball! So will I for that matter, lol. I have this huge pan, I use it for soups. I think that will do.

3:54 am

Atalante

or even dulce de leche, but that might just be slightly over the top lol. dulce de leche just stirred through ice cream is equally perfect though

3:54 am

mrpresident

2 cups sugar
Three quarters cup cold water
1 tablespoon brown vinegar
Sprinkles (optional)

Place all ingredients in saucepan. Stir over heat till sugar dissolves. Bring to boil â€“ do not stir. Cook till syrup is golden brown. Remove from heat and allow bubbles to settle. Pour into small patty cake papers. If desired, decorate with sprinkles.

3:55 am

sprite

Okay, help me out here, what is dulce de leche? If I am going for sick, I wanna go the whole mile.

MrP, you are the best! Thanks :D

3:55 am

sprite

I agree, taz, it is really fun today!

3:55 am

Atalante

easy dulce de leche is basically boiled up condensed milk

3:56 am

mrpresident

spread it on some baking paper on your kitchen bench, let it set and then crack it up into little pieces and stir it through the icecream!

3:56 am

Atalante

Jacula

Tiny - an8 is a plural for vaccination agents.

Jacula

Tiny - an5/10 + a period of time.

Jacula

YUK! My tea tastes of 'Fairy Liquid'. Someone didn't rinse the mugs out! *Blows bubbles at other Babblers.*

8:52 am

Marc Freeman

Hi Jacula, Dorens, I think they originally came from Russia then went to England and then onto Canada. I believe my grandfather had 7 or 8 brothers and one sister. We lost track of them a long time ago. I do have a cousin in Canada that I communicate with I should ask her if any migrated to Albany.

8:52 am

RocDragon

yay fireworks

8:53 am

Dorens

my great grandparents came from the area of Eastern Europe which was sometimes Russia and sometimes Poland

Different people do it all different ways, daisy. Some use the second-letter lists, some don't. Some ask others for clues in the chat, others don't. Some use on-line dictionaries and word lists, others don't... Whatever way makes it most fun for you is the right way to do it.

raelite

is the an8 something to do with a vaccination? I can not find it :(

1:24 pm

Aloyisius

daisy: I like to do as much as possible just brainstorming off the grid.. then I get a bit of help with the initial numbers from BJ's list, then.. I will join chat and share clues and "dive into" the word list to figure out what I am missing.. lots of steps, but I like the process of discovery .. finding new words is fun!

1:24 pm

MVA

remember, feed babblet a little often faerie!

1:25 pm

bubba218

yup, it is the an 4,4 (against) + se4,4, -- it is like a vaccination

1:25 pm

Aloyisius

raelite: it has to do with BLOOD..

1:25 pm

raelite

thanks :)

1:25 pm

daisy88

I am amazed by the people who complete the large puzzles (like yesterdays) there are a ton of words to find and learn

1:26 pm

inge

an 8 : start with an 4 (againsst) add Latin plural of the liquid that is used to vaccinate

1:26 pm

faeriekae

Ok MVA I will she seems do be doing fine as long as I am holding her LOL

1:26 pm

Aloyisius

time consuming, daisy... couldn't do it till I retired.

1:26 pm

bubba218

It is similar to a croosword puzzle, once you have them enough times, you sort of figure outthe words and clues, the same in babble

1:27 pm

raelite

I keep seeing antacid in this puzz..I think that's the problem

1:27 pm

Aloyisius

you are right, bubba.. speed increases with the recognition of all those weirdo words that frequently pop up

1:29 pm

bubba218

raelite, think of the Italian sound Que ****, ****, what ever will be, etc. That is the ending of the an8

1:29 pm

Aloyisius

and the beginning means "against"

1:29 pm

bubba218

the sound is supposed to be song

1:30 pm

Aloyisius

waiting for raelite to tell us she has it, then I must scoot...

1:31 pm

bubba218

the suspense is killing me, does raelite have it?

1:32 pm

Aloyisius

holding my breath, bubba

1:32 pm

renfield

bubba - here is where you do the jaws theme

1:32 pm

Aloyisius

turning a bit blue..gasp

1:32 pm

bubba218

patiently pacing and tapping my toes

1:33 pm

bubba218

is she breathing, did someone check her pulse

1:33 pm

renfield

breathe aly....

1:33 pm

Vicuna

This is worse than the waiting room at the maternity ward!

1:33 pm

Aloyisius

maybe her monkies collapsed

1:34 pm

hootowl

Well I'll thank you!

1:34 pm

daisy88

call 911

1:34 pm

renfield

rae...oh rae.......

1:34 pm

bubba218

maybe the thrill of getting the word overwelmed her and she went to have a cigarette

1:35 pm

Vicuna

(A chocolate one, I hope.)

1:38 pm

raelite

hi sorry

1:38 pm

bubba218

who is going to do the eulogy for rae?

1:38 pm

raelite

I had to let the dogs out

1:38 pm

Aloyisius

ahhhhhhhhhhh

1:38 pm

daisy88

we were very worried

1:38 pm

raelite

then I watered my herb garden

1:39 pm

bubba218

we thought you expired. we already were making plans to give your name to someone else

1:39 pm

raelite

then I complained about the jerk backing his truck up next door

1:39 pm

Aloyisius

gray hairs keep popping out..

1:39 pm

Vicuna

Didja get the an8?

1:39 pm

raelite

sorry I have sunday ADD disorder

1:39 pm

raelite

no I did not

1:40 pm

Vicuna

*** collective groan! ***

1:40 pm

raelite

oy! I have the first part!

1:40 pm

bubba218

thnink of the Itlian song que ****, ****, what ever will be will be, etc,etc-- then put the against word first

1:40 pm

A-rod deserves to be in a slump for the rest of his career. He is nothing but a money-grubbing friend-forsaking mean person.

2:56 pm

helenkeller

i am going down for a nap - then a 50th b-day party - then hopefully back to finish the grid before midnight

2:56 pm

stidmama

the damage is worse than even I thought... we need to replace most of the plywood, and entire 2x4 from the peak to the edge of the roof... and lots of the insulation.

2:56 pm

helenkeller

bye everyone :)

2:56 pm

2:58 pm

stidmama

I have considered and do use them sometimes (not acupuncture yet). Right now, I need to rest enough to be able to move about. Then I can start to think how I will prevent or minimize it in the future.

2:58 pm

Mama- Vacation areas we could do without. =) We have plenty of those here....the Turnpike, Newark, Seaside Heights, the Meadowlands.....

3:06 pm

stidmama

3:07 pm

renfield

dulce!

3:07 pm

stidmama

well -- whatever makes rennie happy makes us all happy!

3:07 pm

3:08 pm

stidmama

renfield -- any news on Nut's dog?

3:08 pm

stidmama

I am so sad for that...

3:08 pm

featherbee

i'm ignoring the land mine of toys at the moment, and listening to him creating another land mine in the kitchen. but he's having fun, staying out of trouble, so i'll clear it up later.

3:08 pm

renfield

none yet stid/ nut is out of town this weekend

3:08 pm

oggy

thanks stid.

3:09 pm

leighprefect

What happened to the dog?

3:09 pm

stidmama

it's only when it's quiet that you need to worry feather, but you know that already!

3:09 pm

featherbee

yep. he was just repeating "no no no" over and over, had to go check that out. he's busy playing with his kitchen set, so false alarm.

3:09 pm

stidmama

thanks, ren. How about your mother?

3:10 pm

stidmama

oh feather, the memories!

3:10 pm

featherbee

a few days ago, it was very quiet...i went to check, and he had climbed up on the changing table and was taking a baby powder bath and using the desitin as chapstick! i have a picture...i should upload it...

3:11 pm

renfield

stid - cyberdot is doing better. the stitches are irrating her. she has dementia and doesn;t remember why she has a bandage

3:11 pm

stidmama

*giggles, imagining the pic*

3:12 pm

jillibus

leigh wanted to know about the dog - I'm not sure of the latest so can somebody tell her?

3:12 pm

stidmama

Yes, I know that must be hard. But perhaps the stitches irritating is a good thing. My few experiences with stitches is that I only notice them when the healing has started...

3:13 pm

stidmama

sorry leigh. There was some problem and someone took Nut's dog to a pound.

3:13 pm

leighprefect

Oh no...

3:13 pm

renfield

leigh - someone had the puppster picked up. fiz was having her mom check on the status of where the puppster might be located

3:14 pm

Meaningless protest about the absence of Asia in the dictionary

3:14 pm

leighprefect

The poor thing.

3:14 pm

leighprefect

And poor Nut

3:14 pm

jillibus

as I recall, it was her brother who took the dog and it was a "killer" pound - 48 hours limit. Her mother (?) was trying to do something about it because they didn't know which pound it was.

3:14 pm

stidmama

Douglas -- PROPER noun...

3:14 pm

renfield

hey ya douglas

3:15 pm

leighprefect

Why would her brother do that??

3:15 pm

Douglas

Then why is "Jehu," one of the kings of Israel, in the dictionary, hmm? HMM?!?

3:15 pm

stidmama

maybe it's not a proper noun in a different language?

3:15 pm

featherbee

ok, stid, adding pics to my photo album...will be a few minutes....

3:15 pm

Douglas

Hello ren, and all...

3:15 pm

jillibus

good question, leigh but there was no answer

3:16 pm

xunilpenguin

the word list is kinda arbitrary and unreasonable

3:16 pm

xunilpenguin

like my parenting style

3:16 pm

stidmama

okay feather. I need to go change into "town" clothes... Tom and my father are going to get the supplies we will need later in the week when he finishes the roof; I am going grocery shopping with the kids and my mother.

3:16 pm

3:19 pm

chj

yeah...20 bags of cheetos for ren....a 3 day supply

3:19 pm

stidmama

*sigh* if only, chj -- the manufacturer of this home declared bankruptcy six months after we bought it. This last winter we discovered that the skylight in the office was leaking and rather than dripping into the room going down the slope to the wall. Dry rot in several places. I think it was leaking the whole time. But it wasn't discovered soon enough for us to make a claim before the court-imposed deadline several years ago.

3:19 pm

stidmama

I am really angry. Will post pics on my blogs later... right now, it's groceries. Whattaya need, ren? CHOCOLATE, and then?

3:54 pm

kkiln

Probably will get a fish.....but I need NA 4/4-- the one after the na 5/10

3:54 pm

chj

is it worth it cj...i mean i open licketys in a separate window then tile vertically and reisize so that licketys is a thin strip on the left and i have plenty of room for the grid and can still keep an eye on the chat

3:54 pm

CiociaJudy

No I have Firefox but I needed to download the sidebar and then get Lickety's to come up in that window. A couple of times I accidentally ended up with the grid over there. But it's great. Only thing is my monitor is small and I lose the chat when I have both of them up and running.

3:54 pm

yankees fading fast....8-2

3:54 pm

Wolvie

like your mama, kk - just sub n's

3:55 pm

Sounds like you have it covered, chj. May not be worth it to set up the sidebar.

3:55 pm

Wolvie

4:10 pm

CiociaJudy

And all gods of all religions are fair game too. The dictionary is prejudiced against just about all gods except the Greek ones...

4:10 pm

aknitter

4:12 pm

Douglas

It's my understanding that in Hinduism they have something like 83 gazillion gods. Of course, some of them have relatively small responsibilities...

Jacula-thanks for the hint, but I'm stumped. I've tried the aes and ais endings and neither seems to get me anywhere. Doesn't really matter anyway because I have 44 left to find and am too tired to go for it.

9:25 pm

Jacula

If anyone wonders why I am up here in UK at 3.23am, apart from it being a holiday day... earlier I found one of my old rabbits, who is a stroke survivor, suffering from 'Flystrike'. He's seeing the vet in the morning, but I do wonder if he will survive the night. And then, I went onto another of my regular forums to chec on the health of a member who collapsed on her way to work last week, only to discover she died in the early hours of Friday morning. Suffice it to say, I am feeling rather shocked and more than a little 'down'.

9:26 pm

Minveryork

os 4/4 is os plus snake letter plus vowel. Other os 4/4 is os + ending of black pavement t** Andree.

Jacula

I had a History teacher called MISS Hopkins. We never got to learn about WWII from her as she broke down and left the room every time she tried to go into detail (she was a great one for going off the point and telling us real stories to bring the periods alive); her fiance was a pilot who was killed in WWII.

The bird watched intently as Paul moved quietly to the donkey which was ignoring everything but the tough weed growing at the edge of the corral.

9:50 pm

Jacula

Goodnight to those who are leaving. Sleep well.

9:50 pm

Scrabbler

co 4's--I have fish, currency, and price/s--what else?

9:51 pm

Paul reached for the donkey's halter and pulled. Reluctantly, the little creature left its treasure and walked out of the corral.

9:51 pm

lbdawger

scrabbler, double the snake letter, an transpose the last to letters in the money

9:51 pm

Jacula

co4 (after the currency) - anagram of the word. Think of to 'dupe' + a personal pronoun.

inge

anagram of the money, and co + double snake

9:52 pm

The bird sat, watching. Adam puffed on his pipe, watching.

Next co4/5 sounds like a lettuce or a Greek island, but has a double consonant ending.

9:53 pm

stidmama

"Father, I will be over to luncheon soon. Would you ask Nan to join me here?"

9:53 pm

stidmama

Adam nodded, watching the bird as he walked off, keeping his thoughts and his doubts to himself.

9:53 pm

stidmama

Paul stood at the edge of the corral, then turned to the bird.

The bird sailed off its perch, wings of rainbow hues flashing brilliantly,

9:55 pm

Krys10

9:55 pm

lbdawger

*do you think it was a phoenix? how exciting!*

hello TO

9:57 pm

jillibus

we really are into fantasy here...

9:57 pm

Jacula

Such wonderfully vociferous and expressive cats are Siamese. Very sensitive, too. Same applies to Persians, though they are more tacit, normally relying on eye contact and body language.

9:57 pm

lbdawger

hi TO!

9:57 pm

stidmama

The figure bowed to Paul and put its head on its side.

9:57 pm

Minveryork

Hi Temple Owl! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:58 pm

stidmama

Nan came slowly across the yard, keeping one hand on the rail that traced the paths.

9:58 pm

stidmama

Paul and the figure watched her approach.

9:58 pm

rockimggramma

first ai 4/4 and ci 4/5(not sure which)..pls

9:58 pm

Jacula

When things get desperate (in the Persian cat's mind) they can be as vociferous as Siamese.

9:58 pm

stidmama

Paul met Nan at the gate and picked her up.

9:58 pm

Jacula

Hi TO.

9:58 pm

stidmama

"I have someone for you to meet, Nan."

9:59 pm

stidmama

Her face turned excitedly toward the center of the corral. "Who is it, Father?"

9:59 pm

Minveryork

ai 4/4 is ai plus single hump letter plus snake letter and ci 4/5 is a growth in your body or c plus a particle.

9:59 pm

stidmama

A strong but not unpleasant voice replied, "I am the giver of gifts and the receiver of woes. I bring light and dark. I create and destroy."

10:00 pm

Jacula

'Our ai* folk!'

10:01 pm

stidmama

Nan turned to the voice and patted her father's shoulder. "Please put me down," she whispered.

10:01 pm

stidmama

She stood and took a few steps in the direction of the voice.

10:01 pm

Jacula

This story of Stid's is getting spooky now!

10:02 pm

She curtsied, a little awkwardly.

10:02 pm

"Are you the child to whom the vial was given?" responded the figure.

"Then why," demanded the figure, taking a step forward, "Can you not see?"

10:03 pm

Charm

10:04 pm

stidmama

Paul started forward, but a look from the bright eyes stopped him in his tracks.

10:04 pm

Scrabbler

10:04 pm

Jacula

an5/10 - a herb that dogs love. an5/10 - a projecting end of Saturn's rings. an5/10 - 'againsts'.

"Oh, I have a sister who needed it more. I hope this pleases you. Father said the vial was mine to do with as I chose."

10:05 pm

Charm

an5/10 = latin pl of the an4/4 before it?

10:05 pm

stidmama

The figure fixed Paul in its unblinking stare. "You have a remarkable child."

10:05 pm

Scrabbler

YES, TY Charm. 5 to go

10:05 pm

Jacula

The Saturn clue has a singular, an4/4, that sounds like a solution. Just add a letter to the end of that to make a Latin ending.

10:06 pm

stidmama

Paul nodded and bowed.

10:06 pm

Scrabbler

Just the S's left-- I have to get organized

10:06 pm

stidmama

The figure reached into the folds of the cloak and drew out a small casket which it held out to Paul.

10:07 pm

stidmama

He stepped forward and grasped it firmly.

10:07 pm

Jacula

I'm off to bed now. Catch the rest of the story on BabAnon, stid. And to the rest of you... Happy Babbling!

10:09 pm

stidmama

"Now what do you see?"

10:09 pm

stidmama

Nan looked confused. "My eyes feel strange, kind stranger, there is a sparkly feeling in my heart."

10:10 pm

stidmama

Paul looked in amazement at his child, but kept silent.

10:10 pm

11:25 pm

debb - it is not immigrants, it is people born in us or canada - i know this for a true fact as many, many years ago, in a former lifetime, i used to frequent a bar called - of course -"nisei" - i went to play pool & was most always the only blonde & usually the only female in the joint - & when i say joint, i MEAN joint, lol

11:25 pm

CiociaJudy

io + what they throw to play craps except different second consonant

11:25 pm

OldRottenHat

the other io sounds like the cubes you toss in a craps game but change the s

11:33 pm

OldRottenHat
