2:18 am

sprite

oh wow lady.

2:19 am

herinfernallady

SO i am taking this as a message from said departed friend to move forward. That and my b.f has been a sweety. We went to the Zoo last night at dusk it was empty which is good for me as i hate crowds. It was fantastic. He bought me a Puma toy. I have been grinning all day. I feel like a princess

2:20 am

sprite

darn... old classic movie soi**** green is not valid :(

2:20 am

moonwoof

That's the clincher, then.

2:20 am

herinfernallady

And that is why Sprite when things are crap take it easy. Even if you get up in the morning and have a shower and put your house clothes on thats a big deal. REmember you are an important person and that people care about you

I Cannot do a grid that cannot recognize The Green.

Sprite my doctor has this approach. If you walk to the shops instead of drive put $5 in a tin from petrol money saved. If you go out and have a picnic with goods from home put that lunch money aside. Reward yourself with small steps and things.

3:18 am

little mim

du ny

3:19 am

herinfernallady

i am lost

3:20 am

sprite

lol bfsog. Well, I start typing in all the words I see until I see nothing anymore. Then I try and find endings, prefixes etc and play with those for a while. Then I try to finish as many tiles as I can. And when I am nearing the end, I check my wordlist for forgotten plurals, singulars, verb forms etc. I use the clues in the chat shamelessly. And I have been doing this for a couple of years now, so that has been practice. That about unstucks you?

3:20 am

moonwoof

Well, she can type like a demon, B, and she's been doing the grids for years now. I'll vote it's likely practice.

3:20 am

sprite

hi little mim, du ny to you too

Moon you know the range dressing as a powder?

3:26 am

moonwoof

you mean ranch dressing?

3:26 am

herinfernallady

Yes sorry

3:27 am

moonwoof

I do know a couple of brands, I dont make them often however. Are you trying that with your nuggets?

3:29 am

herinfernallady

Yep. You get a couple of chicken breasts halved and diced. flour in another Then you mix up 2 eggs and milk in one bowl, and a mix of Progresso Bread Crumbs and Ranch Powder.

3:31 am

moonwoof

I usually do my dressing for nuggets on the side. Personally, sometimes I like more dressing and sometimes less.

3:32 am

moonwoof

But it's a decent idea.

3:32 am

herinfernallady

You just use the powder not as a dressing

Friend died 3 years ago Friday his fav musical was on the telly then a song from same musical was on at the store then last night one of the actors from the same musical was behind me at the pub. It was a light bulb in my head that said to me don't give up. Last night was magic. I went to the Zoo after hours with the b.f to see a band and it was fantastic. He bought me a Puma toy. Been grinning all day at how much he loves me

6:43 am

Jandy

Oooh.... not sure that's usually the recommended treatment!

6:43 am

Jacula

Intestines removed? Are you on the drugs again there, MrP? *Scratches head re tree goats and intestines.*

6:43 am

Jandy

Note to Jac... at least it's not intestines in trees...

6:44 am

Jacula

That would be nasty, Jandy.

6:44 am

Jandy

This grid is murder, for some reason...

6:45 am

Jacula

I'm enjoying this grid, so far. It's jam-packed with lots of Babble words I haven't seen in ages... and I'm finding them.:) (68 left to go.)

7:30 am

Uniquity

Morning Aloy, Scrabbler

7:30 am

Aloyisius

hi Uni..

7:30 am

Scrabbler

How is everyone doing to this start of a new week?

7:31 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone!

7:31 am

Aloyisius

howdy Annie..

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Hi Annie. How is Bobby doing?

7:31 am

Uniquity

Hey Annie!

7:31 am

Frances

Happy Scrabs.......the sun is shining.

7:32 am

Anniebrook

hi uni, scrabbler, aloy

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Minimal sun here, as in it is not pitch black. Very dreary.

7:32 am

Anniebrook

Bobby is a very happy camper today because his favorite team, the Giants, won the Super Bowl

7:33 am

Scrabbler

But, I will have a mini-vacation and be off Thursday-Sunday so I have to get through just 3 days of work.

7:33 am

Anniebrook

We watched the game and hooted and hollered

7:33 am

Aloyisius

excellent game.. hard fought

7:33 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, a well deserved vacation. How is Mary?

7:33 am

Scrabbler

So many happy Giants' fans, so many sad Patriots' fans.

7:34 am

o-o

and so many ceiling fans

7:34 am

Anniebrook

that too, BR...and hi

7:34 am

Aloyisius

hello there, BR.. (-:

7:34 am

Scrabbler

I visited Mary yesterday, and I did the baby's 4 mo well baby visit in her hospital room so that she could be included. I did the shots too.

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Mary will fly to Duke Univ on Thurs to see the brain tumor specialist that has been directing her care. Then she will be home Friday night for the first time since Nov 23!!

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Hi BR--always the punster!!

7:35 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, so very sad..I pray forMary every night

7:36 am

Anniebrook

That is a positive for Mary...being home

7:36 am

Aloyisius

so good to hear that she will be able to go home.. 4 months is an adorable age - has to be a joy too to look into her infant's face

7:36 am

Uniquity

As far as the superbowl goes...only time of the year I watch football and I was so disappointed in the last quarter. There was much yelling in the Patriot fans apartment!

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Mary was holding the baby and it is sad that neither knows the other much yet.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

But, the baby is now at the stage where she will develop a memory for faces so it is perfect timing for Mary to go home.

7:37 am

NonnieLight

Good morning all!

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nonnie

7:38 am

Anniebrook

hi nonnie!

7:38 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Eva

7:38 am

Anniebrook

Hi EvaN!

7:38 am

NonnieLight

Hiya, Annie, Scrabbs and Eva!

7:38 am

Uniquity

Good morning Nonnie
I am glad to hear that some bonding time has been allowed, Scrabbler. it must be very difficult to not know your own child

7:39 am

Aloyisius

hello to Nonnie and Eva..

7:39 am

Scrabbler

And for Mary to know that other people have been raising her baby--both gratitude but sadness.

7:39 am

NonnieLight

Scrabbs, I'm glad Mary is able to head home. How wonderful of you to do the well-baby checkup in her room. She is truly blessed to have a thoughtful and loving friend.

7:40 am

NonnieLight

hiya uni and aloy :o)

7:41 am

Scrabbler

It was one of the most touching experiences in my career/life--to do a baby's check-up in a mother's hospital room. It meant a lot to the husband too, to not have to do it alone at the office as we did for the 2 mo visit when Mary was nearly comatose from radiation treatments.

7:42 am

Anniebrook

scrabbler, it is heartbreaking

7:42 am

Scrabbler

The nurses were peeking in the room to see the baby too.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

The husband broke down several times during the 2 mo visit at the office, because Mary's absence was so palpable. So this visit was wonderful with Mary present.

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Oops, I put a word in the chat = sh4

7:44 am

Aloyisius

and the baby is doing well?

7:44 am

NonnieLight

My heart goes out to all of you. I can't even begin to imagine...

7:44 am

movieman

clue for the 9 plz

7:45 am

Scrabbler

The baby is thriving and at the 90-95% for ht/wt/head size. She is adorable with blonde hair and blue eyes and so happy. But she needs to get to know her Mama.

7:46 am

NonnieLight

Hopefully that will happen soon, scrabbs.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

It is so hard, Nonnie, and at times surreal.

7:46 am

Aloyisius

brb..

7:47 am

Anniebrook

scrabbler, are the grandmothers involved in the baby's care when Mary is not at home?

7:48 am

NonnieLight

Good morning, mm...I just arrived so I don't have the 9 yet.

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, both grandmas, an aunt, and a very mature 21 yr old girl that graduated from college in Dec. They take turns sleeping overnight and doing the nightime feeding so that dad can get sleep. Dad takes turns sleeping with the other 2 kids.

7:49 am

weegee

Good morning everyone! Just checking the grid size... failed my New Year resolution of not doing ones over 250 when I completed the 320 on Saturday. Have fun and be welll all, see you later on.

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Hi & bye, weegee

7:49 am

NonnieLight

hello weegee/goodbye weegee

7:49 am

Scrabbler

I am sorry to make everyone sad with this story of Mary.

7:50 am

flosey

good morning all

7:50 am

NonnieLight

No, don't be sorry, scrabbs. I need to share it.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi Flosey!

7:50 am

NonnieLight

hello flosey!

7:50 am

Scrabbler

TY to all for prayers for Mary!

7:51 am

NonnieLight

oops, that was supposed to be "you" instead of "I".

7:51 am

Anniebrook

scrabbler, It is good that the family has help in such a positive way..pray and pray

7:51 am

Scrabbler

TY, Nonnie!!

7:51 am

flosey

Scrab, just reading back, not so much sad, but encouraging to see how everyone is coping, pitching in where needed, and that Mary is finally getting a chance to bond with her baby

7:52 am

flosey

and prayers for Mary

7:52 am

Anniebrook

hi flosey, well said

7:53 am

chiley

Scrabbler, what is her prognosis? Is there any hope?

7:53 am

Scrabbler

The team work is amazing--so many people love Mary and her family. There is a huge master schedule in their kitchen--assignments for driving kids to school/gymnastics, bringing meals, shopping, etc.

7:53 am

flosey

hi Annie, I think these people are so fortunate to have Scrabbler as their doctor

7:54 am

NonnieLight

I agree with you, flosey!

7:54 am

Anniebrook

flosey, I agress...Scrabbs is a wonderful person

7:54 am

Aloyisius

... back, with a note that I am glad you have a friendly forum in which to share your sorrow, Scrabbs.. heaven knows, you can't keep everything pent up forever.. sending soothing vibes your way too..

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Now I am crying....

7:55 am

Anniebrook

scrabbler, you are making me tear up {{{{hugs}}}}}

7:55 am

Aloyisius

group hug here..(((Scrabbler)))

7:55 am

NonnieLight

We love you, {{{scrabbs}}}

7:55 am

flosey

that's ok too scrab. the tears release tension, pressure

7:55 am

pabtrek

I agree

7:55 am

Anniebrook

[[[[[group hug}}}}}

7:56 am

flosey

indeed Annie

7:56 am

NonnieLight

I believe we are put in each others life for a reason. I feel you and Mary needed each other at this time is both of your lives.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

TY!! ((Babble buddies)) The prognosis is better than originally thought. Two tumors were removed surgically. Two disappeared with radiation. One remains and is shrinking. It needs to go away and then no new growth is the goal. She can be a survivor!

7:57 am

flosey

so true nonnie

7:57 am

NonnieLight

That is good news, Mary!

7:57 am

Scrabbler

And Mary is teaching us about faith, hope, perseverance...she is so inspiring.

7:59 am

flosey

is there any stronger pull than your own new baby to give you strength and courage to pull through

7:59 am

NonnieLight

I agree, Flosey.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, look at the time. I have to get ready for my visit to the preschool for kids with developmental delays. I am the school doc. About half the kids have Down syndrome. I love going to the school--I get lots of hugs!!

8:00 am

Aloyisius

bye, Scrabbler.. have a great day!

8:00 am

NonnieLight

Scrabbler, you have a wonderful day.

8:01 am

flosey

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Bye, my friends. TY for listening and for the much needed support.

8:01 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, hug the kids for me too...have an easy day

8:01 am

Scarlet

Good morning Babble beauties! :-)

8:01 am

NonnieLight

I'm heading out also. My father is in the hospital and I'm going to go spend the day with him. Poor thing, he'll be celebrating his 78th in the hospital :o(

Anniebrook

Scarlet, Kisses to you for that bio...going to print it and give it to Bobby...he will love it...what a game...we were hooting and hollering...the neighbors must have wondered

8:05 am

Anniebrook

8:05 am

Anniebrook

8:06 am

Aloyisius

I was very impressed by the Giant's QB.. fire in his eyes!

8:06 am

Scarlet

{{{Annie & Bobby}}} I STILL have a brutal headache... LOL

8:07 am

Scarlet

Aloy, I know you are not a huge football fan, but this is one for the ages! :-)

8:08 am

Anniebrook

scarlet, did you see Peyton watching the game...he never sat down...can you imagine Archer watching..

8:09 am

Aloyisius

Scarlet, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the S. Bowl.. I do love football.. its just that my hopes are dashed year after year; being a Browns Fan is tuff.. (-:

8:10 am

Anniebrook

I have to make some phone calls, be back soon

8:11 am

Scarlet

Yes, Annie, that last possession was the killer... sorry, Aloy, I mistook you for someone else who was rooting for the other Ohio team.. LOL... see you soon, AnnieBrooklyn!!

8:11 am

Aloyisius

you mean the Bungles, Scarlet?

8:12 am

Scarlet

This was a heart-pounding, sweaty, excellent game, Aloy... LOL... I love the Ohio teams, and the Browns are on the verge of becoming good again!! Never heard the term Bungles... OOL

8:13 am

Aloyisius

Naturally, the Browns fans have to diss the Cincy team, ergo, the Cincinatti Bungles.. (-:

8:14 am

Scarlet

I really enjoy cross-state rival games, Aloy... the bragging rights sort of contests that make you crazy...

8:14 am

Aloyisius

yup... but the biggest rivalry of course is with the nasty Steelers

8:15 am

Aloyisius

and of course with the Ravens... they stole our team

8:16 am

pabtrek

Steelers are not nasty, they are great :)

8:16 am

Scarlet

The Steelers STILL make my pulse pound, and it's real for them to fill up with tons of hatred before hitting the turf... the whole Baltimore thing still makes me furious...

8:16 am

Aloyisius

don't think the Cleveland fans will EVER forgive Art Modell...

8:16 am

Scarlet

That's what I'm saying, pabtrek... LOL! Good day to you, pab!

8:17 am

pabtrek

hi Scarlet

8:17 am

pabtrek

great game last night

8:17 am

Aloyisius

incredible game..

8:17 am

Scarlet

Modell is the dirtiest word in Cleveland... and it will continue to be for, oh... the next two millennia...

8:17 am

Scarlet

It had to be the best SB I have ever seen...\

8:18 am

Aloyisius

at least the next two.. nasty steelers

8:19 am

Scarlet

When Eli slipped that "group hug" and managed to get that pass off, and that improbable reception, my headache was making me nauseous... LOL

8:19 am

Scarlet

Even my daughter, who was doing homework, screamed on that one...

8:19 am

Aloyisius

Eli was so driven, he was wonderful, spurring his team on as he did

8:20 am

Hello All

8:23 am

ursh

funny peri you are talking 50F - we had areas in the north at 43C yesterday

8:23 am

Scarlet

Since I have been maniacal for the last three days (in the kitchen) I am going to seriously goof off today... I wish it was a 500-word grid, peri!!

8:23 am

periwinkle

me too Scarlet

8:24 am

Scarlet

:-) How are you feeling, peri? How is that cranky shoulder?

8:24 am

Buttonman

8:24 am

periwinkle

8:26 am

pabtrek

thanks peri

8:26 am

Scarlet

Button... I don't have any of them yet! :(

8:26 am

periwinkle

it really wasn't that bad all the time but it was annoying me and affecting my ADL's (activities of daily living)

8:27 am

Scarlet

It didn't stop you from Babbling, and that's what counts, peri! :-)

8:27 am

periwinkle

of course, the important things in life :-)

8:27 am

Scarlet

We always have our priorities set straight!

8:28 am

Scarlet

Now I must feed beloved and make a nice, hot pot of coffee... I was so adrenalized by the game, I could not go to sleep until well after 4 a.m.

8:28 am

hi again, Evan

8:41 am

Aloyisius

8:41 am

EvaNadine

i popped in this morning, but was swept away by work before i even got to enter a single word!

8:42 am

pabtrek

hi Eva

8:42 am

flosey

here to Aloy, 27 to go

8:42 am

Aloyisius

17 for me, flosey.. go, go, go..(-:

8:43 am

flosey

good for you aloy, good luck

8:44 am

Aloyisius

same to you, flosey.. must say I am learning some newbies today..

8:45 am

flosey

yes, and to remember them is something else !

8:46 am

Aloyisius

think I'll take some time to look them up; maybe that will help, but maybe not, lol

8:47 am

flosey

for sure, knowing the meaning helps a lot

8:48 am

Aloyisius

ok, like ch4.8 .. the root of an East Indian herb.. now why didn't I know that? (-:

8:50 am

Aloyisius

and ch5.18 is a cattie, and a cattie is an Asian unit of weight.. I'm sure I will remember that one!

8:51 am

Aloyisius

or how could I have missed the saline lake and its plural, ch5.14?

8:52 am

flosey

I don't believe I'll remember any of those by description

8:52 am

Aloyisius

I'll shut up now.. (-:

8:53 am

Aloyisius

well, thats my point, flosey... use it or lose it.. i have learned a lot of babblets because of repetition, but just don't recall all the "weirdos".. makes this game interesting, though..

8:54 am

Uneaixoise

aloy, my icon is today's weirdest of the weird!

8:56 am

Aloyisius

ty, une.. got it and its plural thanks to an earlier clue but didn't know what it was either.. actually a lovely animal for such an unlovely name!

8:56 am

Uneaixoise

so true!!

8:56 am

Aloyisius

good job finding that icon!

8:56 am

flosey

just checked out your icon Une, hmmmm, the only ni I'm missing

8:57 am

flosey

for goodness sake, had the plural !!

8:57 am

Aloyisius

prefix for nothing + consonant + german for house was the clue that gave it to me

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:02 am

Yeah Giants:)

10:11 am

carleekat

good grief... I gave up a end of 3rd quarter..had a tub...went to bed read...heard the outcome....rolled over and went to bed...

10:11 am

debjed

Hi Eva

10:11 am

redturtlehead

scarlet (super Red), I feel good now, I am finally better...

10:12 am

carleekat

glad to hear u are better turtle......

10:12 am

Scarlet

LOL, red... glad you are making headway! kattie, if I had not seen that game, I would have retired from the human race...

10:12 am

carleekat

i was so ticked off at new england's offensive line...

10:12 am

redturtlehead

Scarlet! I had no idea you were such a football fan!

10:13 am

carleekat

disgusted rather... so..gave up...

10:13 am

debjed

yeah, they couldn't protect Tom Brady for anything

10:13 am

Scarlet

I am a football FREAK, red... live, eat and breathe it...

10:13 am

callaway

anybody here from Tangleword 5s?

10:13 am

kat, it was one of those games in which nothing, but nothing was predictable!

10:13 am

callaway

linch

10:14 am

redturtlehead

I heard it was good....but I am not a fan...and of course, no television...

10:14 am

carleekat

this is true... but... the NE OL-men ...might as well have stayed back in boston... that was NOT a team effort...

10:14 am

Scarlet

AnnieBrooklyn's son, Bobby is the greatest Giants fan in the world, so I dedicated my icon/bio to him... red, it was the best one I've seen in 42 years!

10:15 am

Scarlet

They dissolved, and some quirky pundit will blame it on Arlen Specter... not a good effort at all, and Brady's eyes were dull... I speculated that he may have been on pain meds for his ankle injury.

10:15 am

carleekat

i hope they are getting a royal chew out. and they all get traded for next season

10:15 am

redturtlehead

Off topic, but how are you finding the grid? I think its slow going, but...

10:15 am

carleekat

the grid sucks...

10:16 am

debjed

yeah very slow

10:16 am

carleekat

i thoguht he looked tired too...

10:16 am

Scarlet

They are too good, kat... they simply had the mother of all meltdowns under the pressure cooker of perfecton...

10:16 am

Ok, so I agree the grid really does suck...

I was very conflicted, Owl... so da**** sick and tired of hearing about the 1972 Dolphins... I wanted them pushed off the front page of football history... alas!

Afternoon all..........

Haz1558

Hello caitlyn.

11:09 am

Haz1558

Just heading kitchenward!

11:09 am

Haz1558

back later, hopefully.

11:10 am

Jacula

ni7 & plural 8 aren't that weird. ni7 is one of various spellings for an Indian antelope, also known as a 'blue bull'. The Hindi (from the Sanskrit) translates as 'dark blue bull'. So, not really a strange word.

11:10 am

caitlyn

Bye then Haz

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

later, haz. jacs, ty i will try google.

11:10 am

Jacula

'Bye, Haz! I'm just having a cuppa after doing the vacuuming. After that, I'm heading kitchenwards too.

11:10 am

rururocks

how often do you see blue bulls jac?

11:11 am

Jacula

TO - Google it with a 'y' as 2nd letter as that's the more usual spelling.

11:11 am

Jacula

ruru - often, in India.

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

do you see pink elephants, too? : /

11:11 am

caitlyn

There are not many blue bulls in the Rhondda (a few cows though)

11:11 am

Jacula

'Blue' when applied to animal fur/hair means 'slatey grey'.

11:12 am

Jacula

LOL, TO!

11:12 am

rururocks

an 5/.12 clue please

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

well i googled it but still cannot find it in the grid

11:14 am

Jacula

Start with the 'n'1st from bottom on far left, TO.

11:14 am

Jacula

an5/12 = an + to trick out of money.

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

what i found was a six letter word

11:15 am

Jacula

TO - you need to put an 'h' in the middle of that word. There are many variations, you see.

11:20 am

Deeha

Fireworks for me. I am off to think about dinner unless anyone wants a clue???

11:21 am

caitlyn

Congrats Deeha!!

11:21 am

Jacula

Well done, Deeha. I must try that - 'thinking' about dinner. Does that get it cooked?

11:21 am

Jacula

Bob's your un****!, TO.;-)

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL jacs!

11:25 am

Jacula

Let's hope the 'u' isn't too un****erative for you.

11:26 am

o-o

What's the best way to make pants last?

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

don't use them?

11:26 am

11:28 am

caitlyn

Groaning with Jac!!

11:28 am

Jacula

That's right, TO.

11:31 am

caitlyn

Jac that recipe of yours looks really good, I will try it soon.......

11:31 am

Jacula

un4 (1st) = un + Spanish affirmative. Un7 expands on that (ends like a mens' public loo).

11:32 am

Jacula

Cait - Haz made it a couple of years ago and liked it. Hope you do, too.

11:33 am

caitlyn

Shrove Tuesday tomorow so lots of yummy pancakes

11:33 am

Jacula

un4 (2nd) = in + the first part of the word TO just worked out from my clue. Un6 is what a snake or a rope does when it straightens out. un5 = the plural of the 2nd un4.

11:33 am

Jacula

cait - We had our pancakes on Saturday when our girls were both home.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

ty jacs.

11:34 am

debjed

not getting the un7, Jac. any more clues?

11:35 am

Jacula

43 to go but I must away to make dinner. I tried 'thinking' about it like Deeha did but it didn't work. Guess I'm just going to have to go into the kitchen and get on with it.:)

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

if you can "un" the rope, why can't you "en" it?

11:36 am

caitlyn

Enjoy your meal jac see you soon

11:36 am

Jacula

deb - Try this: un7 = un4/6 + consonant + Mr. Gore.

11:36 am

Jacula

TTFN. Happy Babbling.

12:11 pm

dcseain

add onions and fat to a pan, high heat to soften...

12:11 pm

periwinkle

does it matter if it is olive oil or butter?

12:11 pm

dcseain

then lower heat to med to med-low, and walk away

12:11 pm

dcseain

i prefer oil, but butter will work.

12:11 pm

dcseain

stir periodically, allowing to brown

12:12 pm

periwinkle

I want to put it on home made pizza along with the cheese

12:12 pm

dcseain

use oil then, it will taste better

12:12 pm

Jellen

Hi, everyone!

12:12 pm

periwinkle

will let you know how it turns out, have never made it before

12:12 pm

12:12 pm

Afternoon, peoples. Gee, I had a choice between Babble or ripping up carpeting. Guess which one I picked?!

12:13 pm

Jellen

Hi, Judi, um... the carpet?

12:14 pm

sadie52

hiya Judi, good choice :)

12:16 pm

Judi

I shall attack the carpet later (much). We'll be getting new carpeting installed in the near future. Saving a few bucks by DIYing the removal of the old. I'm sure my back will be cursing my efforts later.

12:16 pm

debjed

finally got all those right A's inbetween filling prescriptions:) thank you all.

12:16 pm

dcseain

good call on DIY removal, judi

12:16 pm

Jellen

I love ripping up old carpet. It's oddly satifying.

12:17 pm

Judi

I figure it's one of the easier DIY's I'll ever do.

12:17 pm

Jellen

Hate staple and tack strip removal, though.

12:17 pm

Jellen

Destruction can be fun!

12:18 pm

pida 1

thanks for all the clues, BR....BBL

12:18 pm

dcseain

often the staple/tack strips are reusable if left in place

12:18 pm

sadie52

i think if you tear up the carpet someone else should do the staple removal part

12:18 pm

o-o

I have found a flame thrower is excellent for carpet removal

12:18 pm

Judi

I was told by the carpet co. not to remove the old tack strip. They will remove/replace it as needed - no extra charge. Sold!

12:19 pm

Jellen

Oh yeah. We always went to hardwood or tile when ripping out carpet.

12:19 pm

dcseain

yes, good for paint removal too, babrab

12:19 pm

sadie52

that works

12:19 pm

dcseain

friends are installing a bamboo floor to replace their carpeting.

12:19 pm

Jellen

Good deal, Judi

12:19 pm

dcseain

cool, judi

12:19 pm

Judi

Well, we're doing some carpet, bamboo hardwood and tile. Triple the fun!

12:20 pm

dcseain

sounds lovely, judi

12:20 pm

bamboo for the koala room

12:21 pm

dcseain

pandas eat bamboo, koalas eat...tree leaves, forgetting the variety.

12:21 pm

Judi

I'm very excited. Not about spending the money, but the newness of it all. We're badly in need of updating.

12:21 pm

Jellen

Eucalyptus, isn't it?

12:44 pm

12:49 pm

jellen, i cannot parse either of those clues, the letters aren't in the right places.

Down to 99. Okay - time to go rip up that carpet now. Grrrrrr!

12:51 pm

shdybr8

go judi!!!

12:51 pm

Jellen

en + sounds like transgression + first vowel

12:52 pm

Jellen

Sorry for the bad fa clue earlier. Mind's not focusing today.

12:52 pm

dcseain

oh, 2nd clue should have read EN not FA :) ty, jellen

12:53 pm

pida 1

then add a consonant to the first one for the 7

12:53 pm

shdybr8

oddly, it's a holiday here (mardi gras) so working from home today and no classes :)

12:54 pm

dcseain

12:54 pm

dcseain

ur in looziana, ain't ya, shdy

12:55 pm

Jellen

My problem's lack of sleep, or becoming accustomed to too much of it, then switching to short hours.

12:55 pm

shdybr8

yep, still can't get used to it!

12:55 pm

periwinkle

dc my onions turned out more like fried onions than carmelized. I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil, probably should have used a different oil. Heat was not too high

12:55 pm

dcseain

didn't lower the heat enogh, you want them to cook through, browning, with yout frying, more of a sweat to the finish

12:56 pm

shdybr8

no oil for caramelized, peri, just sugar and an appropriate vinegar, + low heat

12:56 pm

dcseain

without frying, rather

12:56 pm

dcseain

should be about 20 min total cooking time, 30 at outside

12:57 pm

periwinkle

oh well, next time, I was too impatient, since I am hungry

12:57 pm

dcseain

i understand entirely, peri :)

12:57 pm

dcseain

i just cooked my some rice and Quorn-brand fake chicken nuggets

12:57 pm

bfsog

anyone have os6?

12:57 pm

periwinkle

ok shady will try that too, next time

12:57 pm

shdybr8

red onions with white sugar and red wine vinegar makes a lovely purple, very flavorful

12:57 pm

dcseain

true dat, shdy

12:58 pm

periwinkle

that sounds really, really good shdy

12:58 pm

ypsigirl

hi everyone, help pls on en 7

how much sugar?

12:58 pm

dcseain

os + beginning of a movie multiplex

12:58 pm

shdybr8

how much onion? :)

12:58 pm

12:59 pm

sadie52

oh yea it is

12:59 pm

sadie52

I love onions

12:59 pm

dcseain

you want the onions to cover the bottom of the pan solidly

12:59 pm

Jellen

Thanks, dc, I needed that.

12:59 pm

shdybr8

i used to make a pizza at a restaurant with caramelized onions, swiss chard, and pancetta.......yummy

12:59 pm

dcseain

so size pan to amt of onion you want.

12:59 pm

dcseain

the less dense the onions in the pot/pan, the more sitirring is required to prevent frying.

12:59 pm

shdybr8

that was for the how much sugar question, dc!!

12:59 pm

JBV

wow, I tuned it at just the right time - those pizzas sound wonderful

1:00 pm

in our family we have a special dish we make with onions, like a pizza sandwich - we call it calzone - dreaming of that right now

1:01 pm

Jellen

I don't have the en7. Anyone else?

1:01 pm

shdybr8

peri, i don't measure much, but for one regular sized red onion would use maybe half a cup or a little less of vinegar, a little less than that of sugar

1:02 pm

Jellen

I'm not either, Jac. I'm getting ready for a doctor's appointment.

1:02 pm

dcseain

i'm looking for it, jellen

1:02 pm

shdybr8

for two onions, wouldn't quite double it.....and so on

Jacula

I'm waiting for my Golden Potato Pie to cook (recipe's in my thread on BabAnon). Potato, onion, Cheddar cheese, butter, white pepper and salt mix. Lovely with bacon chops.

1:02 pm

en7 - turn the en6 into adj with addition of consonant

1:02 pm

1:08 pm

dcseain

or Sody-pop, which is what i grew up with.

1:09 pm

JBV

can't type today - that was tried - with unintended emphasis!

1:10 pm

JBV

in addition to looking at the monitor, it helps to have control over your fingers

1:10 pm

1:10 pm

1:11 pm

1:39 pm

lynxxx

ugh - way too early in the morning for brom etc

1:39 pm

montreal13

ahhh now i get it - i must admit BR that your vocab may be just a tad superior to the common folks...

1:41 pm

bethn

hi all, back for final 53 ;) my house will never be clean again. babble is an insidious habit.

1:41 pm

dcseain

wb, bethn :)

1:41 pm

montreal13

hello there beth !

1:42 pm

lynxxx

Hi Bethn

1:42 pm

jan

Finally fireworks...and, now exposing my inadequate vocabulary, there were 70 words in today's 205 that I would be unable to give definitions to. (Allowing for plurals and adjecitval forms, probably 50 or so.) Usually I find that my "don't know what that one means" ratio is closer to 10 percent.

1:43 pm

dcseain

congrats, jan!

1:43 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Jan !

1:43 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats, jan!!

1:43 pm

montreal13

wtg jan - 10 % is better than me...

1:43 pm

o-o

congrats, jan

1:43 pm

debjed

congratulations, jan:) don't think i'll finish today

1:44 pm

dcseain

and some grids are like that, word-wise. this came is great for vocabulary-building

1:44 pm

jan

Well, I do try to look a few ones up every grid, but if I did that with this grid, I'd be here all day...

1:44 pm

bethn

woo hoo jan! i learn new sords every day, and i always thought i had a n excellent vocab. (oh how the mighty have fallen)

1:44 pm

bethn

*words

1:46 pm

jan

The thing is, English has an unbelievably capacious vocabulary. For example, the second ya/4/8 means "an old worn out mare." Not the kind of thing to drop into conversation very often.

1:46 pm

o-o

I expect if I am able to define 25% of the words, I am doing well

1:47 pm

dcseain

jan, see the quote in the bottom my profile

1:48 pm

o-o

I see letter groups as opposed to words

1:48 pm

jan

Very amusing, dcseain, and too true!

1:48 pm

dcseain

yes, that is how we read, babrab

1:49 pm

jan

Some years ago, there was an article about a good of Thais who were Scrabble champions but completely unable to speak any English. They's memorized the Scrabble dictionary just as a set of meaningless patterns.

1:50 pm

lynxxx

BBL - Stew is adament it is walk time - loudly

1:50 pm

MLF... yes, NC is definitely more Elephant than donkey, but here in Asheville, it is considered the liberal center of the south... mostly Dems...

5:23 pm

bubba218

Thanks

5:23 pm

MLFAN17

joannei isnt it though lol

5:26 pm

MLFAN17

joannei the li word i can fill in the blanks but i cant monkey it

5:27 pm

Scarlet

Well, then, when I check it out, nutt, I'm betting that he is much the same as Kucinich... libertarian leanings, very progressive social ideas and flat-out against our involvement overseas...

5:27 pm

joanne0334

check 5 24 clue

5:27 pm

MLFAN17

joanne i saw it but its not working

joanne0334

5:28 pm

MLFAN17

is that a 5/14?

5:28 pm

egbokmom

but who would beat the republicans?

5:28 pm

Scarlet

We can dream, nut...

5:28 pm

joanne0334

li and spelled backwards for someone that bugs you endlessly

5:28 pm

evanonut

i was thinking about that egbo, and i think obama is the best chance, because he is a better speaker and better looking, that's an honest opinion

5:28 pm

Jellen

Clue for ag 5/14, please?

5:29 pm

Jellen

Either one

5:29 pm

Jellen

Hi, all!

5:29 pm

hurshy

kucinich always amuses me

5:29 pm

joanne0334

ag4 vowel one plural

5:29 pm

hurshy

he's so cutely naive and earnest

5:29 pm

joanne0334

hi jellen

5:29 pm

evanonut

face it, we're suckers for youth and looks, and a good speaker gets us everytime, always makes me wonder how bush got in though....strange

5:29 pm

egbokmom

and his wife is brilliant, too

5:29 pm

hurshy

his opponents were not better looking, nut

5:30 pm

evanonut

ok, good point hursh

5:30 pm

MLFAN17

evan what was the one who dropped out recently?

5:30 pm

Scarlet

He has... errr... charisma, articulation, power, intelligence, vision and several other unelectable attributes which put him down early, hursh...

5:30 pm

hurshy

obama, i think, would win for sure if nominated. clinton v. mccain - tougher call

5:30 pm

evanonut

now the obama family, they are a FINE looking family, and they both are excellent speakers

5:31 pm

Scarlet

Nut, can you say "purchasing power" of the old Rep machind?

5:31 pm

joanne0334

and fr.... something that breaks easy

5:31 pm

MLFAN17

i agree evan

5:31 pm

evanonut

too many people hate the clintons i think, but then the republicans are sure to start a muslim whisper campaign against obama

5:31 pm

Jellen

Thanks, jo, got the second.

5:31 pm

hurshy

i don't know if charisma and power are qualities i think of when i think of kucinich

5:31 pm

joanne0334

good

5:31 pm

MLFAN17

evan i wouldnt but sorry to say i do hate the clintons

5:31 pm

joanne0334

yvw

5:31 pm

Jellen

Another clue for ag 5/14, the first?

5:31 pm

evanonut

i think of ears when i think of kucinich, and ufos

5:32 pm

hurshy

dude, i wish he WERE a muslim - that would be REALLY helpful for our foreign relations.

5:32 pm

joanne0334

do u have the 4's??

5:32 pm

evanonut

i'd be sorry to say it mlf, i've heard 'things' happen to those that get in the clintons way

5:32 pm

Jellen

Yes, jo.

5:32 pm

egbokmom

how did he get a hot wife?

5:32 pm

You'd have to see him, hear him, touch his hand and see that amazing mind at work, in person, hursh... he will not be in any position to hurt anyone. Yes, egbo... she is nearly 6 inches taller than he, with long, red hair, and brilliant!

5:33 pm

Jellen

Sorry to be so dense, but I'm not getting the first ag5. Help?

5:36 pm

evanonut

one thing is for sure, we can't open communications with a muslim nation with a female president, they won't respect her

5:36 pm

Scarlet

Hursh, I thought it was interesting that Gov. Ahnaaallld endorsed McCain, and Maria came out for Mr. Obama with Oprah and Caroline...

5:36 pm

hurshy

nobody, that's who

5:36 pm

joanne0334

ok mlfan so how bout that an7??

5:36 pm

5:37 pm

Jellen

That's the second one, jo.

5:37 pm

Scarlet

I still have 80 words to hunt... into the grid!

5:37 pm

evanonut

egbo, i always thought edwards was our best chance of stealing gop votes

5:37 pm

MLFAN17

egb i hated edwards like a barbie dolll

5:37 pm

bonkler

america lost the election when chris dodd and dennis kucinich were ignored. nutty bhutto was the leader of a muslim country. you'll never have a woman leading a fundamentalist muslim state but you could easily say the same thing for a fundamentalist christian staae.

5:38 pm

joanne0334

frag... something that is delicate ..u put it on a box of breakables

5:38 pm

MLFAN17

joanne it means very old as in a long time ago old

5:38 pm

joanne0334

i'm not that old tho mlfan hehe

5:38 pm

egbokmom

he felt Edwards had the goods on all things financial

5:39 pm

evanonut

true bonk, but we're not supposed to be a fundamentalist christian state, i'm just saying now is not the time for a woman...we need to open talks with muslim nations

5:39 pm

Jellen

Thanks for trying jo.

5:39 pm

evanonut

egbo, not totally, his healthcare plan is similar to hillarys

5:39 pm

joanne0334

sorry jellen

5:40 pm

MLFAN17

me either joanne glad you got it i never even noticed it but got ti from the same type of clue from someone else

5:40 pm

joanne0334

mlfan can u clue jellen ag 5 not the plural ,,i suck at cluing ..please

5:40 pm

MLFAN17

joanne the first one?

5:40 pm

egbokmom

oh

5:40 pm

hurshy

you can bet your bottom dollar that obama will bring smart people on board in his administration, people who are not just out to improve their own interests, and he will also actually listen to people who disagree with him!

5:41 pm

bonkler

thing is nutty, whoever leads america will be listened to. for right or wrong, america can't easily be ignored. most muslim states aren't the taliban. they'll respect the office, the nation and the boat load of big bad guns for sure.

5:41 pm

evanonut

yes, that's what i like hursh, he is the least bought and owes the fewest favors

5:41 pm

MLFAN17

hurshy i agree with you unlike hillary

5:41 pm

MLFAN17

joanne which one??

5:41 pm

egbokmom

Edwards did not want to mandate heslth care

5:41 pm

joanne0334

ag5 not the plural

5:41 pm

MLFAN17

jellen which one?

5:41 pm

Jellen

I need the first ag5, please, mlfan.

5:42 pm

evanonut

looking that way bonkler yes, but what about popularity among the common citizens of those countries, that is an important consideration

5:42 pm

evanonut

egbo, edwards was willing to garnish wages to pay for healthcare, just like hillary, actually, he said it first.

5:42 pm

hurshy

yeah the phrase "universal health care" sounds great, but when people start getting money taken out of their paychecks, more than they already do... i don't think that will go over real big

5:42 pm

MLFAN17

jellen to think quickly

Andree

ch 5/14 please

5:44 pm

bonkler

thatcher was not exactly well liked, she was afforded more gravitas than pretty much any of her successors. a nation like iran for instance, is largely moderate and (by local standards) liberal on the street. they're run by hardline old boys. they'd listen 'cos they had to and there'd be ore support than you imagine.

5:44 pm

Jellen

Thanks, jo!

joanne0334

5:45 pm

evanonut

perhaps bonk, but consider how populare we (the states) are right now, a president with a muslim (albeit weak) background would do so much more to promote peace.

5:45 pm

MLFAN17

hurshy dont get that clue

5:45 pm

herinfernallady

HI

5:45 pm

hurshy

really i think it is nice how the brits can keep someone they like in power for as long as they like, and boot 'em out whenever they get the urge.

5:45 pm

egbokmom

obama would get europe to respect the US again

5:45 pm

MLFAN17

al 6 first one please

5:46 pm

anybody - well maybe not romney - will surely get us more respect than we've got now!

5:46 pm

i just got a ch 5/14 woohoo

5:46 pm

hurshy

but probably obama the most.

5:46 pm

evanonut

*shudders* hursh, bad idea....bad bad bad...

5:46 pm

bonkler

america's reputation needs more rehab than britney lol

5:47 pm

we could've kicked bush out 3 years ago, when people realized a year too late what i'd been trying to tell them for five years, that bush is despicable

5:47 pm

JBV

good evening, babblers - I'm coming back for my last round -

5:47 pm

evanonut

herinfernallady

Well if you have 3 trillion dollar budget and you cant organise you shite to have a decent health care system you should be shot

5:48 pm

joanne0334

evanonut

watch it fernallady, i understand your country is going to be making some aboriginal apologies soon

5:49 pm

MLFAN17

joanne i have 3 al 5 words and thats it

5:50 pm

joanne0334

there are 5 of em

5:50 pm

JBV

there are 5 al words

5:50 pm

bonkler

the aussies made a great leap forward in deposing the bigotted cretin john howard and there's nothing wrong with apologizing when you've done someone wrong.

5:50 pm

JBV

does anyone need a clue? I do - I need co 5/16, please

5:50 pm

herinfernallady

ANd i disagree. There were white women too that had their babies stolen to so the government can shove that apology up their butt.

5:50 pm

egbokmom

5:51 pm

evanonut

just saying, you don't have a perfect country either

5:51 pm

hurshy

spell a penny a funny way, JBV (or dime or nickel or quarter...)

5:51 pm

Jellen

I can help with some of the al's, mlfan.

5:51 pm

herinfernallady

Never said we did but seriously choose to eat or pay for meds is b.s

5:51 pm

hurshy

people had their babies stolen?

5:51 pm

evanonut

and don't mistake my rants against bush or my cries for change, i am VERY patriotic

5:51 pm

Andree

i don't think this is the place for politics and howard was not a cretin!!!

5:51 pm

MLFAN17

i hve 3 al 5 words but their are more al words then that and i am not findign them

5:52 pm

Jellen

Do you have the four's?

5:52 pm

evanonut

who's howard?

5:52 pm

JBV

i've been trying that hurshy - does it have two consonants? can't monkey it

5:52 pm

joanne0334

got 4 now

5:52 pm

herinfernallady

Andree that would imply something at least useful right?

5:52 pm

MLFAN17

jellen i need al 6please or 6's whatever it is off the top of my head without looking at the list again at the moment

5:52 pm

hurshy

i know what you mean nut, obama is the first guy who makes me feel like i can remember why i was a very patriotic child.

5:53 pm

hurshy

well it has 3 altogether, JBV

5:53 pm

MLFAN17

jellen i have 3 al words they are 5 letters

5:53 pm

egbokmom

5:53 pm

evanonut

yes, very kennedy-esque

5:54 pm

Jellen

Don't have the al6.

5:54 pm

JBV

ok, got it, but that was a penny with an extra N!

5:54 pm

herinfernallady

Google Stolen generation for that comment

5:54 pm

JBV

al 6 is a combination word for 3 metals

5:54 pm

Jellen

al4= al + indefinite article

5:54 pm

hurshy

what i feel patriotic towards is the ideals, and that's why i never supported bush - he tried to protect us by destroying them, and when we do that, we defeat ourselves.

5:54 pm

bonkler

obama is young, attractive and he speaks well. i don't get a sense of there being much policy going on there though.

5:55 pm

MLFAN17

jellen how about the first al 4/4?

5:55 pm

MLFAN17

jellen how about the first al 4/4?

Just clued.

5:55 pm

evanonut

bonkler, having the plan isn't good enough if you don't have the power to convince people

5:56 pm

bonkler

i'll shut up about politics, canada has a load of stupid to wash out of the parliament building and precious little to replace it with.

5:56 pm

hurshy

and having all your own ideas so you think you don't need anyone else's opinion is cheney.

herinfernallady

Hurshy that is NOT funny. How would you like to wake up after having a child and then being told 'sorry your child has died or sign this please for medical reasons' whilst still drugged from the birthing process. Later you find out that your child was alive and taken from you. This did happen to women that were from 'ill repute' (unwed mothers) back grounds in the 60s

6:00 pm

herinfernallady

Ok ill shut up now

Hi and bye, all -- bridge night so I must dash -- just thought I'd drop in and say I did finish so that I could see the video -- but only with the help of morewords. I hated this grid -- probably the majority of "words" were either obscure or non-words. I wish I would have time to clue them, which I enjoy and is part of the reason I use morewords in these circumstances. Okay, no more speechifying!

7:29 pm

8:47 pm

featherbee

ok gang, bedding question. i'm sick of our comforters falling apart, even if they say washable. is cotton sateen a better choice than polyester?

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

I don't eat desert much

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

I use feather Feather

8:47 pm

hurshy

i HATE when howie mandel uses the word strategy regarding the selecting of cases on deal or no deal. there's no strategy!!! it's PICKING NUMBERS!!! gah!!

8:48 pm

hurshy

maybe you should look into comforter alternatives. a quilt, perhaps

8:49 pm

weegee

hurshy, I agree.... I also hate perky perky contestants, whatever the show

8:49 pm

LadyNatts

okay... what the heck is gi4 and why can't I monkey it????

8:49 pm

featherbee

yeah, but i don't really like the look of the quilts i've seen. i'm limited to penney's, have a gift card there.

8:49 pm

weegee

get a duvet feather... you can stuff any ratty old comforter in there!

8:49 pm

herinfernallady

GI vowel letter after m

8:49 pm

hurshy

i have gotten two very nice quilts at walmart... but if you must go with penney, perhaps the duvet is the way to go

8:50 pm

featherbee

duvet?

8:50 pm

doxy1lover

I would love to make you a quilt feather, if you lived closer.

8:50 pm

LadyNatts

oh for heavens sake... what kind of word is that?

8:50 pm

LadyNatts

ty herein

8:50 pm

hurshy

it's like a sack, you put a comforter in then you can just wash it, instead of the comforter itself.

8:51 pm

weegee

duvet is like a giant pillow case for your comforter, usually with buttons to close. you can even make one from 2 queen or king sheets and snaps to close

8:51 pm

featherbee

oh man, that sound like a great deal. but they're all boring looking at penney's! wahhhh

8:51 pm

herinfernallady

no idea Hi Doxy. I thought you buy a blank duvet and then cover it with linen quilt covers

8:52 pm

featherbee

i would make me a quilt doxy, if i didn't have two kiddos! i used to quilt, "back in the day"

8:52 pm

hurshy

incidentally, DON'T buy a quilt from domestications (catalog/web) - they fall apart quicker than you can say bob's-your-un5

8:52 pm

weegee

hi doxy!

8:52 pm

doxy1lover

Hi all. I didn't get to do a lot of crafty type stuff when my kids were little.

8:52 pm

featherbee

yeah, my bed bath and beyond one fell apart after one wash. i was very put out.

8:53 pm

hurshy

the walmart ones are $40 and i've had very good luck with them

8:53 pm

herinfernallady

SOmeone i knew had her sewing stuff in a corner and surrounded it with a baby playpen as her areas

8:53 pm

weegee

I crocheted so many afghans when I worked a switchboard at night years ago... every family member and friend got one

8:53 pm

herinfernallady

Feather did you take it back as that sounds fairly crappy

8:53 pm

featherbee

it's not the space, it's the time and energy

8:54 pm

featherbee

i'm really yearning to crochet something lately

8:54 pm

hurshy

get a walmart quilt, and then use your penney gift card for somethin else :)

8:54 pm

weegee
