1:45 am

lynxxx

good morning FM !

1:45 am

FranMag

Jellen

1:45 am

sprite

Fran, when I started working at an office, I once mistyped 'sincerely'. I looked at it, knew it was wrong and couldn't come up with the correct spelling. Has been confusing me ever since :D

1:45 am

FranMag

i just did that with "night"!!

1:46 am

sprite

so now I don't trust myself typing it, even if it is correctly spelled :)

1:46 am

sprite

lol Fran

1:46 am

Atalante

1:46 am

FranMag

FranMag

1:53 am

sprite

really bugging phantoms: exile and elixer.

1:54 am

FranMag

jellen, every good plan has room for change. let's just say you had to rethink your departure time.

1:55 am

Jellen

So I could meet my Babble goals---yeah!

1:55 am

sprite

the problem with Jellen is, that for me every time she leaves is too early.

1:55 am

FranMag

true sprite.

1:56 am

Jellen

Awww! You all are too sweet!

1:56 am

sprite

"he makes a list, he chex it twice..."

1:57 am

herinfernallady

bler

1:57 am

FranMag

not only that, chex are a kind of cereal here.

1:57 am

lynxxx

BBS .... daughter finally doing her tax return (on this laptop)

1:57 am

FranMag

later lynxxx!

1:57 am

sprite

bad timing of daughter, lyn ;)

1:58 am

Jellen

Bye, lynxxx!

1:58 am

FranMag

this is my favorite time to babble...the log isn't moving at 100 mph, not too many people asking for clues and i find more words without the list.

1:58 am

sprite

I have to admit, being able to feel smarter than a dictionary really brightens my mornings :)

1:58 am

sprite

absolutely Fran!

1:59 am

sprite

and the chat is nice and funny and interesting!

1:59 am

FMitch

my sentiments too Fran

1:59 am

FranMag

if you really think about it, if enable was more comprehensive the grids would all be over 300 words.

1:59 am

FMitch

Shhhh :)

2:00 am

sprite

*very big grin*

2:00 am

FranMag

:-)

2:03 am

sprite

my son says he wants to be a cook when he grows up! And he now wants to cook dinner... he did yesterday (I told him what to do, but did nothing myself) and it was delicious! Now my daughter wants to cook today... you think this will last? ;)

2:04 am

Jellen

One can hope, sprite!

2:04 am

FranMag

if he really enjoys it, it might be a lasting thing...cross your fingers.

2:04 am

FranMag

how old are they sprite?

2:05 am

herinfernallady

Hope for you it will Sprite

2:05 am

sprite

my son is 11, daughter is 9. And I have to admit, my son has been talking about wanting to be a cook for some time.

2:06 am

herinfernallady

It took someone in the government 15 minutes to decide that my mental health is fine enough not to work for another 6months (note nearly 3 years of not working) and still they cant help me

2:06 am

FranMag

i think it could last then, they're at the right age

2:06 am

sprite

it is so funny, my son demanded yesterday that we let him cook at least once a week. We said no, because we want it to remain fun and not become a chore. He was so pissed :)

2:06 am

FranMag

i was cooking family meals at your son's age.

2:06 am

sprite

*hugs lady* That s*cks, darling.

2:07 am

sprite

I did too, Fran, but I hate it now...

2:07 am

herinfernallady

Sprite im pinching your kids to cook for me :) Sounds wonderfully that they want to help

2:08 am

Jellen

I wish I liked to cook. :-(

2:08 am

sprite

lol lady, I can imagine! They have always loved helping out in the kitchen, I have friends who actually ask THEM to come at a party because they love their help so much :)

2:08 am

herinfernallady

I like cooking

2:08 am

sprite

I hate cooking. Well, not totally. But I hate having to cook every day.

2:08 am

herinfernallady

Thats cute

2:09 am

herinfernallady

I told a friends kid that cooking was the best as you can play with the food and no one gets mad

2:09 am

FranMag

that's probably what it is for me too sprite, because i used to love doing dinner parties with my friends when i was single.

2:10 am

sprite

I still like cooking special meals, but that every day returning chore of thinking up something, shopping for it, making it... argh :(

2:11 am

herinfernallady

I cook because my house mate is crap at cooking

2:13 am

Brookie

Jellen

Hi, Brookie

2:13 am

Brookie

By the way, I love to cook, but my fiance is much better at it than I am.

2:13 am

FranMag

lucky woman!

2:14 am

FranMag

my husband did cook dinner tonight, but i had to prep and cut everything up for him. (i'm faster)

2:14 am

Brookie

I'm sure he appreciated that.

2:14 am

sprite

ok, why on earth is alinea not valid? Paragraph?

2:15 am

sprite

ok, I know now... it is dutch and not english. Darn.

2:15 am

FMitch

An ex used to enjoy cooking and what he produced was great but .. he would insist on using every pot, pan and bowl in the kitchen.

2:16 am

FranMag

darn, i tried it too, just because it sounds like it should be a word.

2:16 am

FranMag

and let me guess...he wasn't good at cleaning up after?

2:16 am

FMitch

you guessed it!

2:16 am

sprite

it IS a word. Just not english, lol.
Fmitch, I think that is a man's thing. That and leaving all wrappings and peels etc on the sink.

2:17 am

FranMag

urgh! do you know my husband sprite?

2:18 am

sprite

grin... I don't have the honour, Fran, but if he is anything like mine, the kitchen is a mess when dinner is ready. And we love them.

2:19 am

FranMag

:-) I guess that's true sprite.

2:20 am

FMitch

2 x X words? Need more tea. :(

2:21 am

sprite

I thought of xenofoob right away, but xeno does not work.

2:21 am

FranMag

they're not too bad FM, they've been in the grid before and one is a plural.

2:21 am

FranMag

sorry, an adjective form, not plural

2:21 am

FMitch

Don't you get technical with me at this time of the morning!

3:21 am

sprite

jilli! *hug*

3:22 am

jillibus

I was playing bridge as usual on a Monday night -- spent ages looking for a photo of my bedroom but couldn't find it so used the icon I have here.

3:23 am

jillibus

phantom -- tetched

3:24 am

Brookie

good one jill

3:24 am

Brookie

phantom - detox

3:25 am

night Brookie

3:28 am

jillibus

hi sprite -- are we alone here?

3:28 am

sprite

I think so

3:28 am

sprite

I have a special request to make from you, jilli!

3:29 am

jillibus

Well, I should be in bed ;)

3:29 am

lynxxx

am I included in that 'we'?

3:30 am

sprite

I soooo want to hear you read your favorite children's story about the kangaroo. Please make a cast of it with mrP? *puppy eyes and on knees, begging*

3:30 am

sprite

lynxxx, you are always included.

3:30 am

jillibus

oh yes, lynxxx!

3:30 am

jillibus

sprite, I don't know how without a microphone!

3:31 am

sprite

no, you would need a he4set for that. Either mrP or me would be happy to send you one!

3:32 am

jillibus

Oh! I have a headset!

3:32 am

jillibus

oops -- h4set

3:33 am

sprite

that's all you need! It has a mike in it and that is good enough. With skype it is just like telephoning, for the rest. Would you please please consider it? We'd love to hear you!

3:34 am

jillibus

I didn't realise it was a skype thing. I'll have to learn how to do that -- but not now!!!!! - lol

3:35 am

sprite

it is totally easy, jilli, really. If you want, mrP can take you through the steps one by one. Skype is nothing more than a kind of telephone program for computers. You can talk to the whole world for free, or at least for only the cost of your computer connection :)

3:35 am

jillibus

hey! I found an X word!

3:36 am

sprite

yay jilli! You will find the other one too th4, it is similar.

3:36 am

FMitch

*I second that sprite* came the voice behind large pile of papers. Evening jilli.

3:36 am

jillibus

I knew about skype but hadn't set it up

3:37 am

jillibus

Hi FM :)

3:37 am

sprite

just be sure you take the free version. Lickety has checked it out for us. It has all the features we need and no malware or spyware or adware. It is clean.

3:37 am

sprite

wb FMitch!

3:38 am

jillibus

maybe tomorrow, sprite

3:38 am

sprite

or rather wkb, FMitch

3:38 am

FMitch

Tskkkkk now now sprite *grin*

3:38 am

sprite

*hugs jilli* Whenever it is good for you, darling. Just knowing that some day you will read me that story is enough for me :)

3:40 am

jillibus

got the other X, and thx for the th4 word worked in so neatly too

3:41 am

movieman

Clues for those x's please jilli?

3:45 am

jillibus

xe5/20 -- xe + "that ma
***c was cutting me off"

3:45 am

jillibus

add a cons for the 6

3:45 am

jillibus

I mean ma***c

3:45 am

movieman

ty jilli

3:46 am

lynxxx

TY too

3:46 am

sprite

if you do not want to admit certain things to yourself, you are in de****, movie my man. Change the first letter for the 6. Drop last letter for the 5.

3:46 am

jillibus

yw :)

3:46 am

sprite

but I guess you already got them from jilli's clue, lol.

3:47 am

lynxxx

time for list ... drawing total blank on the last 50

3:48 am

sprite

I had to monkey an F4, lynxxx... if you slip, you F***. Change last consonant in the last of your nick.

3:48 am

sprite

which of course is a structure shaped like a sickle, as a fold of dura mater separating the cerebral hemispheres. We knew that.

3:49 am

jillibus

ta, sprite :D

3:49 am

sprite

yw! Thought maybe others might have trouble with that one as well, grin.

3:50 am

jillibus

got those Ys too

3:50 am

lynxxx

of course we did! how could I have forgotten that! TY Sprite

3:50 am

sprite

great jilli, another grayed-out tile th4 :)

3:50 am

sprite

yw lynxxx!

3:51 am

jillibus

but that bottom A is giving me trouble

3:51 am

sprite

I submit that F4/12 is not a word, but an enablism.

3:51 am

sprite

jilli: a very long time?

3:52 am

jillibus

ha-- not any more!

3:52 am

sprite

good for you!

3:52 am

jillibus

the long time comes from a different A

3:53 am

jillibus

this one is a nothing

3:54 am

sprite

oh, you are right. Got all As, but seeing from which tile they come is not always easy, lol.

3:54 am

sprite

there is a plural nothing too, according to enable.

3:54 am

movieman

Clues for the 8s plz?

3:55 am

jillibus

yeah, got that too -- but no 8s yet and only 2 7s

3:56 am

sprite

de8: D + former husband + chemical word for 3 + first 2 letters of the following.

3:57 am

sprite

he7/8: he + consonant + stuff you breathe + vowel. And plural.

3:58 am

sprite

La8: past tense of La6. L + solo song in opera + name for a toybear.

3:58 am

sprite

Li7/8: straight and narrow + had for dinner. Past tense for the 8.

4:00 am

jillibus

great clues, sprite! tyvm!

4:00 am

sprite

ax8: ax + not well + butt minus last letter.
It builds on an ax4/9. You can also get 3 7s from this one.

4:01 am

sprite

my pleasure jilli :)

4:02 am

movieman

ty ty sprite, me ol' dutch!!!!!!!

4:02 am

sprite

you're very welcome, movie my man :)

4:02 am

jillibus

I only got an ax7 from that clue, sprite, plus a 4 and a6 so far

4:03 am

sprite

ok jilli... plural the 6 the normal way and the latin way. Th4 make it adverbial and pluralise it.

4:04 am

sprite

(the 6 I mean, not the plural 7s)

4:06 am

sunny09

wonderful clues sprite :)

4:06 am

sprite

thanks sunny :)

4:07 am

jillibus

axillaI can't seem to find a way to make the armpit adverbial

4:07 am

sprite

jilli, almost... just change the last letter.

4:07 am

jillibus

oops -- didn't mean to put that first word in!

4:07 am

sprite

used the Ls in the other order.

4:08 am

sprite

almost penalty box for you, lol...

4:09 am

jillibus

got it (adjectival, I think)

4:10 am

sprite

good! And if you pluralise that, it should give you the 8.

4:10 am

jillibus

it was the other order Ls wot dun it :D

4:10 am

sprite

lol, thought it might!

4:11 am

jillibus

got it -- now how about the ax5/20? The first one?

4:11 am

sprite

insert a vowel into the ax4/9, just before the last letter.

4:14 am

jillibus

great -- that gets rid of all the ax words -- and me -- must go to bed now and have all tiles with at least one word -- thanks SO much, spritey! Nighty nighty!

4:14 am

sprite

sweet dreams to you, jilli, and a nice and restful night! *hug*

Sprite, just out of curiosity, have you ever completed a grid without help yet?

4:19 am

movieman

Oh, and congrats, by the way

4:19 am

FMitch

congrats sprite :)

4:19 am

sprite

yes, I think I have... you mean without clues from the chat?

4:19 am

movieman

Yep, that's what I mean, 'cos I never have!!!!!

4:20 am

sprite

I have done some without any clues, but not many. I only hide the chat when people are spelling out clues, for the rest I like the chat too much :)

4:22 am

sprite

and since drG made the pro site, we always have the help of the tile stats. But I have done and finished some grid before that time, without any help at all. Not as much fun though ;)

4:22 am

sprite

oh wow, the movie is just great today.

4:25 am

jan

Sprite is being too modest. She is a Babble genius. Back before the tile stats, she not only finished grids but generously clued us mere mortals. Even so, I never finished a grid pre-stats...

4:26 am

sprite

now you got me blushing... but yes, I always loved clueing. The teamwork is what I like most about this site.

4:34 am

lynxxx

mmm...not too bad, only a dozen 'duh' words out of my last 50

4:35 am

movieman

I've never completed a grid withoud assistance, but what I am IS a completist.....I ALWAYS have to finish a grid......

4:38 am

sprite

well done lynxxx!

4:38 am

movieman

Need cluez for my last four 7s, I have ax7 x3, de7, he7, li7, ts7........

4:38 am

sprite

I know the feeling, movieman :)

4:38 am

sunny09

you finished lynxxx?

4:39 am

lynxxx

I have...just mesmerized by this UTube clip

4:40 am

sprite

ai7, past tense of the ai5/12
de7 x 3 (2 related to the 8, 1 is where God is)
ra7: ra + consonant + straight and narrow

4:40 am

sunny09

hooray for you! :)

4:40 am

sprite

isn't it fascinating lynxxx! I love it :)

4:41 am

sprite

de7: where God is, according to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, I should have written. Singular.

4:43 am

sprite

I am off to sudoku, you all have fun and a great day or night or whatever.

4:43 am

lynxxx

very clever! making it look easy enough for a child to do , but I bet it is not!

4:43 am

sunny09

later sprite :)

4:44 am

movieman

Can't get that "God" de7, never heard of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.....

4:44 am

lynxxx

See you later Sprite..

4:44 am

sprite

I was thinking exactly the same. You have to be a real artist to do this, I bet.

4:44 am

sprite

you could google her, lol, movie.
But before I leave: you can look at something and see it as a whole. Or you can look at the de7s.

4:45 am

sprite

or: de + wiggling part of dog

4:46 am

sprite

tomorrow we go to the transformers, btw :)

4:46 am

movieman

Enjoy the movie, sprite

rolin

6:42 am

Inge2

6:42 am

ch1212

I love the pyramid cam! And the bunny cam with the live bunnies!

6:42 am

Haz1558

6:42 am

dcseain

6:44 am

Atalante

looool just interpreting your words :) in an amusing and contentious way :) so were your old friends nicer than us?

6:44 am

rolin

and a proud tradition it is too carlee

6:45 am

ch1212

I think it's a toughie today.

6:45 am

dcseain

the X is fun, but the grid is overall kind of tedious today.

6:45 am

carleekat

6:45 am

rolin

nicer????.... shall we say.....slightly stranger...

6:45 am

Haz1558

Stranger than us?

6:46 am

Atalante

6:46 am

rolin

carleekat

6:46 am

Haz1558

6:46 am

Atalante

I think she's trying to sit on the fence and not say

6:46 am

rolin

lol...

6:46 am

featherbee

oh, good to know that the grid stinks.

6:46 am

featherbee

i won't be starting it today then!

6:47 am

Inge2

i kind of like it...much more interesting than yesterday's

6:47 am

Atalante

just be strange in the chat

6:47 am

rolin

i tell you what...i will never doubt the efficacy of a bike rider leathers any more...

6:48 am

rolin

i just glanced out of my window to see a bike rider sliding along the major road way...having just been knocked off his bike

6:48 am

rolin

just..being earlier this morning

6:48 am

Atalante

ouch!

6:48 am

Haz1558

I would wince, but people would look.

6:48 am

dcseain

ouch. hope s/he's okay.

6:49 am

rolin

he was fine...i made him a cup of coffee... his leathers were shredded tho.. no wonder they wear them

6:49 am

dcseain

yes, the leathers are a life-saver

6:49 am

dcseain

denim's good for that, too.

6:49 am

hurshy

now, here in rhode island, the opposite of success is falia.

6:49 am

Haz1558

You are a good woman, rolin.

6:49 am

Atalante

leathers and a helmet

6:50 am

dcseain

yes, atalante, i presumed the helmet, though in Ohio, they don't require them, and many don't wear them.

6:50 am

rolin

oooh hursh...did you see the one i wanted yeasterday..or maybe the day before....??..'uneek'..

6:50 am

Inge2

lol, here in Massachusetts, too, hursh

6:50 am

hurshy

it's the enable game! :)

6:51 am

rolin

youre kidding dc...??..its not a by-law?

6:51 am

hurshy

we likes our freedom here, even if it kills us

6:51 am

dcseain

not in Ohio, and MD still has an exemption for people with class-M (motorcycle) licenses granted prior to, if i recall, 1990.

6:52 am

dcseain

i'm sure other states have exeptions and/or non-requirements also.

6:52 am

greenbayladi

clue for the at 6 please

6:52 am

KristineNas

add a cons't to the 5 green

6:52 am

dcseain

yes, well said, hurshy

6:52 am

hurshy

if you have an at6 problem it's in your heart

6:52 am

ch1212

hi hurshy! My beloved and I went to Boston a couple weeks ago to celebrate birthdays/anniversary, and did the Trolley Tour and a harbor cruise --- it's really quite beautiful downtown.

6:53 am

Atalante

ouch. helmets are good. very good.

6:53 am

greenbayladi

ty

6:53 am

hurshy

yes, boston is rather nice for a city

6:53 am

ch1212

Anyway, I thought of you while we were looking around. We had lunch in "little Italy" -- mmmm!

6:54 am

hurshy

but i didn't go there, ch, did you never hear? i moved to RI instead.

6:54 am

Inge2

No helmets required in New Hampshire either. Or seatbelts. It's not for nothing their state slogan is "Live Free or Die"

6:54 am

dcseain

the north end is a lovely place, ch1212. They're a buyring ground at the top of it with lovely views off toward charlestown.

6:54 am

rolin

i want to come acr0oss to new england in the autumn one year

6:54 am

Inge2

It's beautiful, rolin. Many lovely little towns, too.

6:54 am

rolin

i8nge2 ..it should be...live free AND die

6:54 am

ch1212

OH! I thought you were in Boston! LOL! Okay, never mind...

6:55 am

Inge2

Lol, Rolin...that's what one child actually said at a school assembly!

6:55 am

ch1212

Thanks for the tip DC -- we've gone twice now, and hope to get more exploring in over the next year or so. It's also an expensive town :)

6:56 am

hurshy

but when it comes to the patriot act, i'm inclined to agree with NH.

6:56 am

rolin

ok.....well...looks like my time is up....i better go do some work.. see you all later...

6:56 am

Inge2

It is...come out to Concord and Lexington ch1212, you wil enjoy them too

6:56 am

Haz1558

Bye, rolin.

6:56 am

dcseain

Compared to DC, Boston is not expensive - i like visiting there, and may be up there for MLK weekend, if my work schedule allows.

6:56 am

dcseain

bye, rolin

6:57 am

loredana

hello and bye rolin

6:57 am

carleekat

later rolin

6:57 am

loredana

good morning afternoon evening babblers

6:57 am

hurshy

that's the trouble with us americans, our priorities are out of whack. if we torture people and detain them without cause, people don't really care. but if we make you wear a helmet or a seatbelt...

6:57 am

ch1212

We've been to Concord twice now, and took my daughter and son-in-law a few weeks ago. Concord is (so far) my favorite town. LOVE Orchard House, of course.

6:57 am

Inge2

That's where I live, ch1212. :-)

6:57 am

carleekat

exactly hurshy...

6:58 am

ch1212

Ah, we're practically neighbors. We're in the North Quabbin region.

6:58 am

Inge2

What...I think I know...Athol?

6:58 am

dcseain

A friend and i accidentally ended up in Concord once, having gone out Mass Rt 2 to NH, missing 95. We were on our way to Portland.

6:58 am

hurshy

oh dear, i used a grid word. oopsie.

6:59 am

Inge2

Love the Quabbin

6:59 am

ch1212

Indeed! It's a quaint town.

6:59 am

Atalante

oooh whats a quabbin? thats a good babble word

6:59 am

Haz1558

Well, time for me to go. Hopefully I can return under my own steam (is the internet steam compatible?) in the next day or two.

6:59 am

Inge2

Ah, most go paint windows before work...But before I leave, what's this with the Harrod's using cobras to guard their shoe collection?! http://tinyurl.com/ysegx3

7:00 am

carleekat

take care haz....

7:00 am

loredana

bye Haz see you soon take care

7:00 am

dcseain

Atalante, Quabbin, like Chopawamsick, Pohick, and many ohers, is a native name for a place or geographic feature, like a river.

7:00 am

Atalante

hope to see you soon!

7:00 am

Inge2

steampunk is indeed big on the internet Haz. Bye all

7:00 am

hurshy

OH has haz been having internet troubles??? i wondered where you were!

7:00 am

Haz1558

I will. See you soon!

7:00 am

ch1212

LOL Atalante! I don't know, but I think it's the large body of water that supplies Boston with fresh water. Created in the 1930's, and 5 local towns were destroyed in the process.

7:00 am

Haz1558

Troubles is an understatement, hurshy, but hoping that all will be restored soon.

7:01 am

hurshy

i hope so too!

7:01 am

Haz1558

Anyway, be good and I'll be back soon.

7:01 am

hurshy

*scraps mischievous plans*

7:02 am

carleekat

wow..been here an hour and still don't have 40 words found..this NOT good

7:02 am

Atalante

7:03 am

dcseain

7:03 am

ch1212

7:03 am

carleekat

yeap... I got them

7:04 am

hurshy

7:04 am

dcseain

The Xs are a flower variant and an adj from it.

7:05 am

ch1212

how many letters are the x words?

7:05 am

carleekat

the 6 sounds like haz and her addiction to babble she in de****

7:05 am

dcseain

4 and 5

7:05 am

hurshy

ty

7:05 am

carleekat

the 5 is minus the last letter

7:05 am

dcseain

sorry, 5 & 6 are the Xs

7:05 am

dcseain

i'd not seen the li8 without a prefix before, though it makes sense.

7:06 am

carleekat

hurshy

7:09 am

carleekat

i'd love it dc..but...the crowd here is anti veggie...

7:10 am

ch1212

dc, I would like that! Or you could post the recipe in your profile if others would too

7:10 am

carleekat

its very limiting in the kitchen

7:10 am

dcseain

i can imagine!

7:10 am

carleekat

and the other big limitation is "meat shoudl NEVER be mixed with fruit"

7:11 am

carleekat

drives me CUCKOO

7:11 am

ch1212

So... no fresh cranberries with the turkey? No apricot chicken? :(

7:11 am

dcseain

7:12 am

featherbee

7:12 am

ch1212

7:12 am

carleekat

carleekat

nope...not done feather...

7:12 am

dcseain

oops, my bad

7:12 am

featherbee

7:13 am

dcseain

7:13 am

carleekat

i know..NOW u all see my situation when I am forever looking for recipes

7:14 am

featherbee

oh poop. literally. nick did one and is now falling asleep on my legs

7:14 am

carleekat

hahaha....they'd notice... I used to make my own baby food and whatever wasn't getting used up ( peas..or carrots or squash) that needed to be used...I woudl do that dc....no good....so I ended upjust putting themin home made beef barley soup...

7:14 am

Atalante

I'd do what my mum did. Mash the vegs up and deny all knowledge of their existence if anyone asks

7:14 am

dcseain

my mother used to mince mushrooms into things so my father would eat them.

7:15 am

featherbee

i hate waking him!

7:15 am

carleekat

its better then listening to him howl in pain from diaper rash feather

7:15 am

dcseain

ah, well done, carlee.

7:16 am

featherbee

sigh. brb

7:16 am

dcseain

7:17 am

dcseain

7:17 am

carleekat

dcseain

6172-239197,00.html, i recomend kielbasa instead of frankfurters, sauerkraut cousd be left out and add some extra onion.

7:19 am

Atalante

well, I'd let them get home and make their own food if theya re so fussy!

7:19 am

Kallia

7:20 am

Atalante

7:20 am

carleekat

7:21 am

carleekat

7:21 am

Kallia

7:21 am

carleekat

7:21 am

carleekat

7:22 am

featherbee

7:22 am

Kallia

ah shepherds is with lamb :)

7:22 am

Kallia

cottage with beef

7:22 am

Atalante

7:23 am

Atalante

lamb not popular?? why!!

7:24 am

7:24 am

featherbee

7:24 am

Jayde287

Thanks

7:24 am

carleekat

7:24 am

dcseain

7:24 am

featherbee

nope

7:24 am

featherbee

hiccups now!

7:25 am

Atalante

oh :( thats a shame. lamb is just the yummiest

7:25 am

7:25 am

Kallia

I agree Ata...my fav

7:26 am

carleekat

thats true too.,, whenever hubby is out of town for a night...kids KNOW is lamb nite and they come to the table starving...there is never lamb leftovers no matter HOW much I prepare

7:26 am

dcseain

7:27 am

featherbee

ah fell bak asleep on my shoulder

7:29 am

carleekat

I think a slow cooked pot roast it is.... ugh... i swear if I see another mashed potato I will end up in the loony bin

7:30 am

dcseain

throw the potatoes in with the roast, they're yummy that way.

7:30 am

carleekat

yeap...I do... but..oh nevermind...u will think I am exagerating... so we will leave it to that

7:31 am

dcseain

alas, i think i'd believe that you've had nothing but potatoes at every meal for years at this point.

7:31 am

carleekat

ummm....u would not be far off the mark dc

7:43 am

carleekat

i worte those down dc... will check them out...always into trying out new music ( to me new )

7:43 am

dcseain

I strongly recommend Pink Martini, they do a wide variety of stuff, and their albums are are nicely danceable, speaking as one who does classic ballroom.

7:44 am

carleekat

hahaha...classic ballroom..another one of those things have always wanted to try... my taste is... way far east of here I am afraid....

7:46 am

dcseain

Madredeus i like, both their fado and non-fado stuff. Sadly, they've not been her in the states since i found out about them.

7:47 am

dcseain

oh, carlee, the baklawa you posted sounds lovely, i'l lhave to try that a day, likely week after next when i have days off and am in town.

7:48 am

carleekat

thanks... that is our "short cut version" when preparing for over 500 people...

7:48 am

carleekat

when doing for fewer I make the sugar water instead of honey... and I add extra types of nuts to the mix

7:48 am

dcseain

ah like the recipe for felafel from my friend that makes 40 pounds.

7:48 am

dcseain

sugar water, a simple syrup?

7:50 am

carleekat

hmm..been a while since I made the syrup as I am forever doign the MASS BAKE... I think is 2 cup water to 1 cup sugar and 2- 3 tsp of lemon juice..boil until thinkens but does not darken and pour immediately over the baklawa....

7:51 am

dcseain

ah yes, so a simple syrup with a spot of lemon. Good to know. Though i like honey a lot.

7:51 am

carleekat

ur friend who makes 40 pounds falafel will know

7:51 am

carleekat

the honey is greek... the sugar syrup is arab

7:51 am

dcseain

ah good point, marianne does make baklava.

7:52 am

carleekat

( there no "v" in arabic alphabet )

7:52 am

I warned u lori..to RUN....did u listen..noooooo...so NO sympathies

7:53 am

dcseain

Lori, use the power of the X

7:53 am

7:55 am

LoriP

Face it carlee, 'yer as hooked as the rest of us....

8:16 am

With this grid Mom? No way.....

8:25 am

LoriP

Yah Evan. No matter how many times I entered that, no go.

I count 36 A words. A bunch are armpit-related words.

8:27 am

Mom

I just got one of them Eva ...

8:27 am

Inge2

Think the Warrior Princess and add a vowel before the last letter. Then make it an adjective by adding one consonant

8:27 am

EvaNadine

hi Tiny !

9:29 am

ch1212

I'm back. DC! How do you peel squash? I took your suggestion earlier to carlee and am going to make the bean-squash-corn soup. I bought a butternut squash and will cube it up.... but I don't have a potato peeler, just a paring knife. Will that work?

9:29 am

NonoNanette

hi Tiny

9:29 am

Tiny

hi caitlyn I am doing ok

9:29 am

NonoNanette

it will work ch

9:29 am

caitlyn

Hi ch1212

9:29 am

NonoNanette

just be careful

9:29 am

dcseain

i steam the squash to just scoopable, scoop it out, add to soup as thickener and let it chunk as it will.

9:30 am

dcseain

if peeling raw, i use a very large knife to cut it up, then cut the skin off

9:30 am

ch1212

Ah... I like that idea better. Much easier. Thanks!

9:30 am

carleekat

as long as it is very sharp ch...but...why not pop into oven and bake / roast it until ready

9:30 am

NonoNanette

good idea dc that makes it much easier

9:30 am

Tiny

Caitlyn how have you been

carleekat

time management....I have x hours and y things to do and x and y already don't equal

1:33 pm

1:48 pm

1:49 pm

carleekat

red..I'd be finding a way to start my own business whilst setting there twiddling my thumbs

1:50 pm

Scarlet

Money is the ultimate seduction, isn't it.... we say it doesn't matter, but when there is none... Right,kat... I can't do just one thing... I have to have music as my soothing influence, though...

1:50 pm

carleekat

ugh...and in alberta... the people working at mc donalds are being paid 20.00+ / hour and the restaurant is closing at 8 pm cus not enough staff to run it

1:50 pm

Scarlet

WHAT???

1:51 pm

carleekat

mind a 1 bedroom condo is selling for 180 000

1:51 pm

carleekat

I'm not kidding red... alberta is going CRAZY

1:51 pm

Scarlet

That's insane, kattie... sounds as though the market has gone nuts...

1:53 pm

CLC

I want to go back to school and get into the Medical Assistant program. I need to get out of the mortgage industry, too much of a roller coaster ride.

1:53 pm

Mary

ty debjed

1:54 pm

Scarlet

CLC... honestly, what is not a roller coaster ride in this world today?

1:54 pm

carleekat

yea... but its doing so much damage to the environment..the heat generated...and co2 to crete the heat needed to steam out theoil

1:55 pm

CLC

Scarlet - I know but I want something that does not involve commission.

1:55 pm

Scarlet

Hasn't the environment always taken a beating when it comes to fossil fuels and "progress"....errggg, don't get me on a soapbox!

1:55 pm

CLC

Besides, this was my husbands interest, not mine. Now that I got rid of him it is time to get out of this business.

1:55 pm

Scarlet

That sounds reasonable, CLC... it's tough on a comission basis...

1:56 pm

carleekat

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Gee, am sorry to hear that. Snoopy comes out of his soup can less often

4:34 pm

Scrabbler

He is my last hamster of many that I have had since my nephews were young--- probably since 1994. I think I will not get a new hamster as the bunnies keep me busy enough.

4:35 pm

Scrabbler

ra7 please

4:35 pm

inge

Does your hamster live in a cage or does he get the run of the house like the bunnies?

4:36 pm

Scrabbler

He is in a cage, Inge, or else I would never find him. Whenever a hamster has escaped the hide-and-go-seek is no fun!

4:36 pm

4:38 pm

friends of ours bought a new house and their son's hamster escaped right away. He ran down one of the heat registers. When the house started smelling, they sued the builder (not telling him of the missing hamster of course)

4:38 pm

bichon

4:43 pm

doxy1lover

4:43 pm

featherbee

4:43 pm

featherbee

i try directing, he says "no you mommy", thus the ok, i'll do it, but then the toys go up high until tomorrow

5:04 pm

hurshy

it was about an hour ago.

5:05 pm

Scrabbler

No, hurshy, but I responded by asking if the transcendental vector forces needed to be aligned? Then I looked up the word "antipodean".

5:05 pm

hurshy

i saw that bit sc before i logged out.

5:06 pm

Scrabbler

Wow, I suddenly got fireworks and I didn't know I was that close! TY all for clues!

5:11 pm

Scrabbler

Can I use a Borders gift card on Amazon? Borders is teamed with Amazon.

5:11 pm

Scrabbler

I watched just 2 minutes of the video.

5:11 pm

hurshy

yes, you can but you have to make sure you start out by going to borders.com rather than amazon.com

5:11 pm

hurshy

which means you can't pull things straight off your wishlist, you have to find them via the search.

5:12 pm

FranMag

i was wondering where you went chic, forgot about the video. :-)

5:12 pm

Scrabbler

OK, TY, hursh.

5:12 pm

hurshy

and it won't let you redeem more than one in a single order

5:13 pm

hurshy

which can be very irritating.

5:16 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Hursh, I am getting very irritated as I end up on Amazon and not Borders and I suspect as I will get to my final ordering step that the gift card will not be acceptable. I guess I will go to a brick-and-mortar Borders tomorrow.

5:17 pm

7:04 pm

Mom

I haven't Jellen

7:05 pm

Fiber Art

I use a Palm T5, Jellen. Has wi-fi, but is not a phone.

7:05 pm

Jellen

Bemused and bewildered by all the options :-P

7:06 pm

meliae

I gave up on those when my palm pilot blew up and I lost all my addresses and stuff, give me a plain old pen and paper please, lol

7:06 pm

Fiber Art

What do you need it to do for you?

7:06 pm

Jellen

I have a Palm T3 that I'm thinking of replacing, plus I have to get a new cell phone plan, so I thought I'd combine the two.

7:07 pm

Mom

That is the half way mark for me. See everyone tomorrow. Pleasant dreams to all. :)

7:07 pm

Fiber Art

There's the new iphone.....

7:07 pm

Jellen

I use my Palm mainly for scheduling, but I have other programs as well.

pricey, but I guess it does everything. I use my Palm T5 for almost everything, and have a cheap tracphone for emergencies.

7:09 pm

Jellen

I don't think I'd use the web browser much. I'm home most of the time.

7:09 pm

Jellen

You said you had wi-fi. So you can browse the internet wherever wireless connections are?

7:13 pm

Jellen

Big question--Can you babble on your Palm?

7:14 pm

lbdawger

ohhh, i could see that as a big danger! lol

7:14 pm

Jellen

Definitely, lbd :-)

7:15 pm

lbdawger

"but officer, that word isn't in the grid!"

7:16 pm

Jellen

I would never Babble and drive!

7:16 pm

lbdawger

i would hope not! i'm too easily distracted enough without babble on the road too!

7:17 pm

Jellen

And I have ADD.

7:19 pm

Jellen

brb

7:21 pm

lbdawger

i'm one of those very intense drivers, i don't like all the distractions that come with a lot of the new cars. my motto is, drive or be a passenger.

7:23 pm

8:13 pm

lbdawger

hursh, that would definitely be sci-fi, those kind of guys don't usually go for smart women. especially if the women are smarter than they are

8:13 pm

hurshy

but jeepers, isn't it awful that there are people who you can ask what pi is in math and they have no idea... if you head south and then turn left twice what direction are you going (huh?)... haven't heard of the terms "red state" and "blue state"...

8:14 pm

lbdawger

glad they helped Dan

8:14 pm

hurshy

ok how about hot smart guys and hot smart women....

8:15 pm

Judi

Hey, some of those geeks looked okay after makeovers. The beauties are tragic though. You know they'll end up married either to rich old men or trailer park managers.

8:15 pm

hurshy

i love that all the geeky guys only know the term "booty" as pirate treasure!

8:16 pm

lbdawger
