I have a story about wigs. Hbby and I were on a cruise in the sixties when I was slim and darkhaired and wore dark-rimmed glasses. We habituated a certain bar on the ship and made friends there. One night we felt mischievous and I took off the glasses and put on a blonde wig, slithered on the arm of hubby into said bar. Nobody would look at us or talk to us. :D

12:17 am

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

i learned centigrades watching the israeli weather report - my mnenomic - 20 = 68 and 30 = 86 (C to F conversion).

12:58 am

1:01 am

jillibus

me too -- like yours, I mean, melon (I used to, a bit)

1:01 am

ARB

Easy conversion Centigrade to Fahrenheit is to double the C and add 30 -- gets you pretty close.

1:02 am

mymuseisme

Flosey - I can use the temps but not the weights and measures! I thought maybe my grandkids would be metricated but asked grandson how tall he was and he said six feet two

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

i'm not asking for a clue, but does anyone have the ca7s & 8??????

1:03 am

herinfernallady

Fran i was not paying a service guy $50 just to come out and then tell me it was a $10 belt. I have male frinds for that

FranMag

1:03 am

jillibus

1:06 am

herinfernallady

Jillis icon contains a word

1:06 am

jillibus

I'm furious with Time magazine Canadian edition -- they keep talking about heights and weights in metric so I keep a metric conversion calculator handy and translate. I've written them to protest and explain that we just don't think that way so please use both kinds of measurement but they ignore me of course.

1:06 am

joey

Good morning Haz. Wet and cold here. There?

3:31 am

Haz1558

Frances, I was thinking this morning that it must be weeks since I have seen pavements and roads completely dry. I'm pining for a cold, frosty, DRY day.

3:32 am

Frances

I was saying earlier that I long for snow and we just don't get it any more.

3:33 am

Haz1558

I could live without the snow, but cold, crisp days just seem to be a distant memory. It's just so soggy.

3:34 am

Frances

I've had a good soaking every day whilst walking the muttmeister. It always seems to stop when we get in. Must polish up the crystal ball!

3:35 am

3:35 am

metaleather

hi Denny

3:35 am

Haz1558

Walking beside Spangle on a wet day is like walking beside a mini car-wash with the brushes whirring. She needs her undercarriage washed every time and I have to change trousers!

tohu bohu:

(Hebrew) [from tohu wasteness + bohu emptiness, void] Used in Genesis (tohu wabhu) for the state preceding the appearance of the manifested universe -- primeval chaos. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep" (Genesis 1:2).

Haz1558

Vegetables, don't forget to eat your greens.

4:07 am

lynxxx

TY Metal - I'm glad its only 6 letters. I'm 2/3rds through and not one 7 or 8 yet!

4:08 am

4:08 am

metaleather

mmmm, sounds heavenly

4:16 am

Frances

Doesn't it have fruit in?

4:17 am

metaleather

maybe I need to look up a recipe for it

4:17 am

lynxxx

think you are right Frances

4:17 am

Haz1558

A recipe I have for it includes fruit, and using different flavours of ice-cream to fill up a pudding bowl.

4:18 am

metaleather

sounds similar to the recipe I found

4:18 am

metaleather

wanna trade?

4:18 am

lynxxx

Sounds like an icecream Xmas pudding - which are quite the rage in Aust - more suitable for our climate

4:19 am

Haz1558

I have the recipe, but have never tried it, so can't vouch for how good it is. The picture looks good.....

4:20 am

metaleather

there's also a cheese called Casata, suitable for serving with ripe/sweet fruit

4:21 am

herinfernallady

mmm lyxx another good one with pudding is one 350gr can of pudding 1 tablespoon of brandy crumble, fridge till hard then roll in balls and drop into 300g melted dark choc put on foiled tray and fridgerate

4:21 am

metaleather

I found one recipe with rice in it

4:21 am

metaleather

what is brandy crumble?

4:22 am

herinfernallady

that was brandy then crumble in a blender or food processer sorry i was talking to my boy again

4:23 am

Eva

and a dumb question from across the pond...what does pudding mean in this case?

4:23 am

herinfernallady

um plum pudding

4:23 am

metaleather

good point Eva

4:23 am

metaleather

like a cake?

4:23 am

jean1953

good morning everybody:)

4:23 am

herinfernallady

um cake boiled errr um hang on

4:23 am

Haz1558

You get plum pudding in a tin?

4:23 am

metaleather

or thick/gooey/like custard

4:24 am

Denny

morning jean

4:24 am

Eva

hmmmm. we don't have canned plum pudding here except iin specialty stores and they cost a fortune.

4:24 am

metaleather

hello jean

4:24 am

Haz1558

Good morning, jean.

4:24 am

Eva

pudding here usually means chocolate or vanilla or butterscotch

4:24 am

Andree

hi jean

4:24 am

herinfernallady

eva thats mouse

4:25 am

lynxxx

pudding, in this case, means a mixture that is put into a ceramic pudding bowl and usually boiled. we don't usually use the expression pudding in Australia for the sweet course at the end of a meal

4:25 am

Haz1558

mousse, hopefully.

4:25 am

herinfernallady

eva its like fruit cake but moist

4:25 am

herinfernallady

opps my bad

4:25 am

Eva

I have had it once, at a British friend's house, when I was a child. It was very good.

4:25 am

Andree

you just mean plum pudding

4:26 am

lynxxx

a good one is fantastic - but usually only appear on Xmas day here

4:26 am

Eva

pudding here is generally used to refer to a custard mixture

4:26 am

herinfernallady

and alot tastier when cooked properly otherwise fruit cake can be used as a door stop

4:26 am

metaleather

what's mouse?

4:26 am

metaleather

mousse?

4:27 am

herinfernallady

um whipped cream and chocolate

4:27 am

metaleather

ahhh

4:27 am

Andree

as in chocolate mousse, metal

4:27 am

Haz1558

Yes, mousse. Mousse loose about the hoose has quite different connotations to a mouse loose about the hoose. (Less screaming)

4:27 am

Eva

mouse is what Merp eats. Mousse is a french dessert with whipped cream, or whipped egg white and chocolate or lemon usually

4:27 am

Andree

lol haz

4:28 am

metaleather

it depends on the cook Haz

4:28 am

Eva

we do know our desserts, don't we(-:

4:28 am

lynxxx

what do you call it in the States Metal?

4:28 am

metaleather

I've eaten a mousse or two that would cause more fear than most mice

4:28 am

herinfernallady

eva i have this recipe where i get a small carton of cream whip that then add 125 grams of melted choc whip till peaky but not curdled

4:28 am

metaleather

call what? mousse, pudding, cake, or dessert?

4:28 am

Haz1558

I trust no cook who serves me mouse!

4:29 am

lynxxx

Metal - mousse - I thought it must have another name in the US

4:29 am

metaleather

dormice were considered a delicacy in ancient Rome. this is one instance I would not do as the Romans...

4:29 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx i think mousse is there pudding it tink

4:30 am

metaleather

mousse is, I believe, basically the same here

4:30 am

Eva

no, mousse is mousse. But they do have some quick, instant mousse mixes which are disgusting

4:30 am

metaleather

pudding however has a different connotation

4:30 am

Haz1558

Mixy mousse.

4:30 am

Eva

Groan

4:30 am

Andree

as lynxxx said earlier we don't seem to use the term pudding, I just say dessert if it is served after a meal

4:31 am

metaleather

and custard usually denotes a "pudding" made with eggs and cooked

4:31 am

Eva

Have you guys all finished the puzzle?

4:31 am

metaleather

not me

4:31 am

metaleather

I still have 65 to go

4:31 am

Andree

or in the case of my stepmother she says dessert is the meal

4:31 am

Eva

good to know I

4:31 am

Haz1558

You mean, why do we have time to talk about pudding? No, nowhere near finished - 65 to go.

4:31 am

lynxxx

59 to go here

4:31 am

Andree

52 left here

4:31 am

metaleather

I've seen T-shirts with the slogan: Life's short, eat dessert first.

4:31 am

Eva

not the only one. I should still be sleeping, but tell my brain that

4:32 am

Eva

there's always time to talk about dessert

4:32 am

metaleather

and don't get me going on main dishes, or anything made with potatoes. I might forget Babble entirely.

4:33 am

Frances

I have a fridge magnet that says 'If they don't serve chocolate in heaven then I don't want to go'

4:33 am

Haz1558

So, potatoes, metal, How do you eat yours?

4:33 am

Eva

potatoes! The source of all life!

4:33 am

metaleather

pretty much any way they can be prepared. I love potatoes

4:33 am

Eva

Then there's potato/cheese combos! How can you go wrong?

4:34 am

herinfernallady

mmm tatos

4:34 am

Andree

4:36 am

Haz1558

4:36 am

Frances

My mother used to make what she called cheese pie. Mashed potato mixed with grated cheese and finely diced onion and put in the oven with cheese on top until golden.

4:44 am

metaleather

Rock likes to be on top of the main blankets, but insists on having bf's old army blanket atop him... as if he's a joey in a pouch

4:44 am

Eva

okay-couldn't resist and I'm back. What is Hobbit? Looks like a dachsund

4:45 am

Atalante

4:46 am

metaleather

I miss having a dachshund... we had them when I was a child.

4:46 am

Eva

we sometimes put Merp under the duvet for a time out. It makes him mellow. If he stays put that is

4:47 am

Atalante

awwwwwww. time-out duvets!

4:47 am

Eva

my brother and sister-in-law have 3 mini dachsunds. Very cute and very impish

Atalante

lol so does ours!

4:49 am

Frances

Riz was being naughty yesterday. I showed him the open Marmite jar and he fled upstairs to bed. As they say, you either love it ore hate it - must go for dogs too.

4:49 am

metaleather

dachsies are made to dig, and they are fierce too! many people mistake small for "sissified" but dachs. were bred to hunt badgers

4:49 am

metaleather

Is Marmite similar to Vegemite?

4:49 am

Eva

marmite would put me under the covers for sure!

4:50 am

Yes ml, but better. Sorry Aussies.

7:07 am

CyborgScrabbler

I agree, you need to make time for eachothers interests, but usually they take it as a sign of going off them, guess if you lay it out from the start then you can have the best of both worlds

7:08 am

Haz1558

cr7/36 - the sort of person you wouldn't want to drive your new car

9:14 am

Mom

My husband found the site and showed it to me in August 2005 (gotta love him). I played constantly for 3-4 months. I wasn't getting anything else accomplished so I quit. That is until August of 2006. Just couldn't stay away.

There are some new words, just to keep it interesting.

9:14 am

flosey

I'm down to last 25 and seem to reach brick wall

A really weird thing just happened: my sister, who lives in Scranton, PA, sent me her first book, a photographic "visit" through the historical city... it was a surprise from her for Christmas. The snows out west held up the delivery until today. I opened it and inside, was Indianapolis, IN retrospective on all the old sports teams there (amateur) and nothing on Scranton. Oh, boy, is that going to be an interesting phonecall tonight!!

10:54 am

chj

i prefer maryann

10:57 am

Janet_921

Have you guys been playing this game for very long????

10:57 am

chj

sice july

10:58 am

chj

10:58 am

Janet_921

hmmmmmm going on 6 months

10:58 am

sparklygem

only a few weeks for me janet

10:58 am

Janet_921

so what does the tile stats mean?

10:58 am

Atalante

ages! years!

10:58 am

flosey

Since June here Janet - welcome

10:59 am

Janet_921

thank you Flosey

10:59 am

movieman

about two years, janet, tho' i've been a pro player since August7 last year

10:59 am

flosey

that's the number of words that start with that letter

10:59 am

chj

the 2nd half tells how many words begin with each of the 25 tiles

10:59 am

Kazzer99

Hi I'm new today - does every one see teh same grid?

10:59 am

chj

the first half tells how many you have gotten

10:59 am

flosey

hey there Kazzer, welcome - lots of newcomers

11:00 am

chj

so 7/15 for example says that you have gotten 7 of the 15 words that begin with that tile

11:00 am

Janet_921

ohhhhhhh

11:00 am

Atalante

yes, everyone sees the same grid, kazzer

11:01 am

chj

word stats deal with the length of words

11:01 am

chj

for example there are 91 4-letter words

11:02 am

Janet_921

so this could be rather interesting....

11:03 am

why Andree? aren't you having a bad drought with fires?

Andree

better than school shootings stid

7:28 pm

LoriP

185 words. Yea! Done. Now I can sleep.

7:29 pm

Andree

not that we don't have shootings but not so far at schools

7:30 pm

stidmama

we didn't used to have school shootings either Andree -- ten years ago they were very rare and only in big cities. Now, it seems kids think that's the way to handle disputes. I can only assume their getting their ideas from movies and video games...

7:30 pm

Andree

and the grass is not all that green tea where the drought is really bad

7:30 pm

TeaNCrackers

hee hee

7:30 pm

pam

yay, lori

7:30 pm

7:31 pm

stidmama

brb...

7:31 pm

Natasha

night lori

7:31 pm

Andree

I guess the fact that they can lay their hands on guns is the main problem

7:31 pm

wurdygurl

guns are so easy to get here

7:32 pm

TeaNCrackers

funny, natasha - or would that be the vice president?

7:32 pm

Andree

in my day there was just a big punch up in the playground

7:32 pm

wurdygurl

and kids everywhere are exposed to so much they are forced to grow up faster and faster

7:32 pm

7:35 pm

TeaNCrackers

it's cold in here!

7:35 pm

Natasha

ah, the joy of discovering nudity!

7:36 pm

Natasha

my kids still prefer to be naked, if I'd let them.

7:36 pm

TeaNCrackers

I guess there is no real harm while it is just us at home.

7:36 pm

Ping

mine too, nat

7:37 pm

stidmama

YAY Tea!

7:37 pm

Natasha

I do make them wear underwear now, but I don't really care if they don't want to wear clothes at home--they are normally changing in and out of costumes all day anyway

7:38 pm

stidmama

little kids don't see a need for clothes unless they're cold -- neither do I, but I am cold ALL the time! LOL

7:39 pm

Natasha

7:40 pm

lizb

7:40 pm

stidmama

7:41 pm

bookgrrl

bless you, stidmama

7:41 pm

stidmama

:-) aha! one CA7 down, and a plural...

7:42 pm

TeaNCrackers

sorry for the delay - Crackers announced a poop and we had to take care of it. He seems far more interested in the bathroom than his sister. Everytime she sits on the potty, he wants to, too, plus he announces when he is done in his diaper and insists on an instant change!

7:42 pm

Natasha

stid, the ca7 words are exactly alike, except for the next to last letter

7:42 pm

bookgrrl

lizb: he**, not there, + where it's **

7:43 pm

7:44 pm

7:50 pm

Natasha

M.P.

Okay ... got an icon I like ... I am excited, very excited.

7:50 pm

TeaNCrackers

TeaNCrackers

7:52 pm

stidmama

7:53 pm

evanonut

7:53 pm

stidmama

I wonder if et5 is what you use to put email back together when you fish it outta the "trash"?

7:54 pm

stidmama

7:54 pm

evanonut

broken shut, can't get in

7:54 pm

M.P.

Okay ... now, I need to do a whole bunch more stuff with changes to make myself happy with my purchase.

7:56 pm

evanonut

*sigh* hubby nut is going to bust it.

7:56 pm

stidmama

oh no! how will you get to the bag of M&Ms you stashed yesterday? what will become of the cherry-center bonbons on the top shelf?

7:56 pm

bichon

the re &?

7:56 pm

stidmama

yay for hubby nut!

7:56 pm

stidmama

re 7: beat a hasty one if you are outnumbered, bichon!

7:56 pm

evanonut

and then i'm going to have to replace it...i don't want to spend my hard earned overtime on that, i want to spend it on choco.

7:57 pm

Natasha

he6?

7:57 pm

Natasha

nut, that's rotten luck

7:58 pm

bookgrrl

last et 5/12?

7:58 pm

evanonut

well natasha, if it weren't for that luck, i wouldn't have any at all.

7:59 pm

stidmama

he6: previous he 4 + two-letter conjunction indicating placement ** home, ** school, ** work

7:59 pm

Natasha

reminds me of that old hee haw song..."if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all..."

7:59 pm

stidmama

et 5/12: the smelly stuff they used to use to knock people out for operations

7:59 pm

Natasha

thanks stid

8:00 pm

bookgrrl

*sigh*--thought i had already typed it.

8:00 pm

Natasha

8:00 pm

bichon

thanx Stidma

8:01 pm

evanonut

that came from hee haw? i don't remember hee haw

8:01 pm

Natasha

from the 70's nut--roy clark, minnie pearl, lots of country singers and scantily clad "farm girls"

8:02 pm

evanonut

hmmm...i was born in 78.

8:03 pm

M.P.

No one ever set this clock off daylight savings' time. That gives us a shift time of about 11:00 instead of 12:00

8:03 pm

stidmama

(nutty

8:03 pm

Natasha

that explains it then nut. It was long gone by the time you would have remembered it.

8:03 pm

stidmama

trying again: ( nutty's a lot younger than me... ) I bet she doesn't remember the Donny and Marie show either!

8:04 pm

Natasha

purple socks...giant white teeth..."I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock'n'roll" aaaaaaarrrrgh!

8:08 pm

Natasha

did I drive everyone away with old tv remembrances?

8:10 pm

Natasha

hello...hello...is this thing on?

8:11 pm

Eva

hi natasha. Just being quiet and concentrating on this stupid grid!

8:11 pm

TeaNCrackers

oh man, I remember those shows.

8:11 pm

gardengirl

no - just remembering what a dreamboat donnie was.

8:11 pm

TeaNCrackers

Sorry, had to handle kiddos again -they are driving me nuts.

8:11 pm

Natasha

thank goodness I'm not alone!

8:12 pm

TeaNCrackers

I remember one birthday party at the roller rink where I got a Donnie and Marie RECORD and dolls, oy!

8:12 pm

Natasha

wow, that must have been special!

8:13 pm

Natasha

he's in a hilarious weird al yankovich video that recently came out

8:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

I'm sure I had those big old glasses with the earpieces taht dipped down in front - and I'm sure they were tinted pink - as well as feathered hair.

8:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

Sometimes, i wonder what my mom was thinking

8:13 pm

Natasha

me too, tea (although my glasses weren't tinted pink)!

8:14 pm

Natasha

tea, you were at the height of fashion--and you probably begged your mother for all of it

8:14 pm

TeaNCrackers

probably!

8:15 pm

TeaNCrackers

I actually took roller skating figure skating lessons and had dreams to compete ;)

8:16 pm

Natasha

did you ever?

8:16 pm

TeaNCrackers

compete - no - my nickname was crash and burn Davis

8:17 pm

Natasha

lol!

8:17 pm

stidmama

sorry all -- tom came home and I needed my back straightened out. EIGHT to go!

8:17 pm

TeaNCrackers

I think that my parents were . . . I can't think of the word . . .

8:18 pm

Natasha

8:18 pm

TeaNCrackers

8:18 pm

Natasha

8:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

crazy is another word that coms to mind

8:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

go, stid, go - need help?

8:19 pm

Natasha

just wait until your kids are calling you crazy, tea

8:20 pm

Natasha

I keep trying to figure out what it is that my kids will remember as nutso..

8:20 pm

TeaNCrackers

it won't be long, I'm sure!

8:21 pm

Natasha

Ijust put a nickel in the therapy fund whenever I find myself doing something that makes even me pause and say WTF?

8:21 pm

TeaNCrackers

My fund increases whenever my sister tells me that I sound just like our mom or dad.

o2baflyndog

I LOVE the haka!

o2baflyndog

it's cooler than a national anthem =)
