3:13 am

kathw

Oh, just got it, nm

3:14 am

sprite

not sure if it is the one you mean, kathw. But it might be ce5/12: if a parent has sex with his or her child, it is called in****. Add a vowel.

3:15 am

kathw

thanks Sprite, i could get 'nap' out of my mind!

3:15 am

sprite

lol, that was my first thought too when I saw what you quoted. Mexican nap would have helped ;)

3:16 am

herinfernallady

Hello

3:17 am

sprite

hi lady! Did you see jilli today?

3:17 am

herinfernallady

Maybe

3:17 am

sprite

jilli was worried yesterday that you had taken offence against the joke she had posted. That is why I asked.

3:18 am

herinfernallady

Oh no none offense taken. i was looking at places to live or being asleep

3:19 am

sprite

I thought so, but you know jilli, she is a kind soul and was afraid she had hurt your feelings in some way. How is the hunting going? No success yet?

3:20 am

herinfernallady

I was not offended. No luck with hunting. Waiting for a place to call back

3:21 am

sprite

I am so praying for you, lady. You deserve a good place to live and prosper. How about the moronic housemate and the job offer from his side?

3:22 am

herinfernallady

Thanks. Housemate job offer not spoken since. I cant wait to move

3:23 am

sprite

seems high time to leave the oaf behind! I will keep sending good vibes and wishes your way, hun.

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Thanks so much

3:24 am

sprite

you deserve no less, lady. Never doubt it.

3:24 am

herinfernallady

I am so tired of looking. I hope to go to bed soon

3:25 am

sprite

I bet. And you should, you need some sleep to keep up with the stress of househunting.

3:25 am

herinfernallady

I think babble keeps me sane

3:25 am

sprite

god, I know that feeling!

3:26 am

herinfernallady

Its not stressful persay its a pain as we were on the road last sat from 10am till 4pm and yesterday 8:30am to 2:30pm and today from 3pm till 6pm (shopping needed to be done)

3:26 am

herinfernallady

OH and on the plus side we got heaps of stuff discounted

3:27 am

sprite

that is marvellous. Take it as a good sign... you need a place to put the stuff ;)

3:27 am

herinfernallady

No Food. We got discounted food

3:28 am

sprite

oh lol, sorry. You already have a place to put food, of course.

3:28 am

herinfernallady

Yep. We got stuff on special saved about $15 on our food bill

3:29 am

Btw, I salute you to have recovered from anorexia. That is a helluva way to travel. So is IVF. You and gorgeous girl doing well now?

@westford it's the only browser I use for 10 years, first on win. I only open IE to test applications at work

3:54 am

sprite

BabbleRabble: there was this taxi driver in New York once who had never had one single accident. When they asked him how he managed that, he said: As soon as I grab the steering wheel, I pretend I am the only sane person in the world, and all others are insane beyond salvation.

3:54 am

herinfernallady

i didn't see it

3:54 am

3:55 am

Jandy

herinfernallady

SO can anyone reclue it please

3:56 am

Jandy

Sprite, I hope you don't mean while you're driving! LOL!

3:56 am

Farruska

@westford firefox is standards compliant ; I used to use netscape (died some days ago, no more new versions of netscape) . But my question was about the clues page behaviour in Firefox mac (so game related guys)

3:56 am

sprite

of course I do, Jandy, it keeps me focussed :)

3:56 am

westford

boy cat has been neutered

3:57 am

4:47 am

Eva

sorry!

4:47 am

Farruska

lol

4:48 am

sprite

hehehe

4:48 am

Farruska

both ca8 come from ca7 ?

4:49 am

sprite

the other ca8 comes from the de10, Farruska.

4:49 am

Eva

same first 5 letters

4:49 am

Farruska

sprite great! thanks

4:50 am

sprite

yw :)

4:52 am

Farruska

the das are easy lol

4:52 am

sprite

:)

4:54 am

Farruska

one thing I never understood (ok and didn't look) is what the numbers in each letter in the board represent

4:54 am

Farruska

like the M has a tiny 2, the X a 6

4:55 am

sprite

the points for each letter, Farruska. An X is worth 6 points, the M is worth 2 points. When you add the points, you get the points to5l of the word (for 4 letter words). For longer words, the to5 goes times 2, times 3 etc.

4:56 am

Farruska

sprite oh, logic ! thanks :-)

4:56 am

sprite

and sorry for the letter behind the to5 that I didn't erase :(

5:00 am

Farruska

sprite hm so if a xpto4 is worth 5 points and xpto12 is worth 12 points and derives from xpto4 , the missing letter should be worth 12-5 = 7 ?

5:01 am

sprite

don't think there are any 7 points'letters, lol, but yes, that would be correct.

5:01 am

Farruska

sprite excately my problem :D no 7 points letters

5:02 am

Farruska

or I'm reading the clues wrong

5:02 am

Farruska

doesn't da5,12 derive from da4,5 ?

5:03 am

Farruska

(sorry so many questions, just need to get the hand of riding this bicycle again)

5:03 am

sprite

but the da5 goes times 2, because it is a 5 letter word

5:03 am

Jandy

Must go, guys. Will try and finish in the morning. Have a good day/night/out of body experience/whatever!

5:04 am

sprite

so you need to take 6 points, (12 / 2), for the actual points amount.

5:04 am

sprite

bye Jandy, sleep well!

5:04 am

herinfernallady

5:10 am

Farruska

sprite I tough I got it but didn't :( the math thing that is

5:10 am

redturtlehead

just getting started sprite 46 words, cant use clues yet...

5:12 am

sprite

Farruska:
LAPS would be 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5 points.
LAPSE would be 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6 points, but because it is a 5-letter word, it is 6 x 2 = 12 points.

5:13 am

herinfernallady

night

5:14 am

sprite

so if you would be looking for LAPSE, knowing it was built on LAPS, you would have to think like this:
la5/12 means it is 12 points for a 5 letter word, so the actual points would be 12 divided by 2 = 6 points. The LA4/5 is worth 5 points, so I am missing a 1 point letter.

5:14 am

redturtlehead

night

5:14 am

sprite

sleep well, lady, I hope you dream well and rest even better

5:15 am

Farruska

@sprite, except I've tried every 1 point combination (i think) :(

5:15 am

sprite

ok, which missing word are we talking about? :)

5:16 am

sprite

da5/12? Double the consonant of the 4, lol

5:16 am

Farruska

:D the da5,12 which I'm assuming derives from the da4,5

5:17 am

Farruska

@sprite , ok I'm going to do that and bang my head against the wall :D

5:17 am

sprite

it does, but the added letter is not at the end :D

5:17 am

6:30 am

lilliann

6:30 am

lilliann

i was just going to say that red, i didn't like it

6:31 am

redturtlehead

This is a difficult conversation for me as I am still trying tolose those pesky 8 pounds.

6:31 am

lil*monkey

cheeky you should try my all-american meatloaf

6:31 am

littlebit

bye lilli

6:31 am

redturtlehead

Ok Papaya, orange,mango, and hmmmm

6:31 am

lilliann

you'll have to email the recipe lil

6:31 am

redturtlehead

I admit toputting morebread in the meatloaf than is acceptable.

6:31 am

lil*monkey

sounds so delish red! and low-cal

6:32 am

redturtlehead

I just had papaya and oatmeal fro breakfast.

6:32 am

lilliann

that sounds nice red

6:32 am

redturtlehead

What I really want now is mashed potatos.

6:32 am

lil*monkey

OK i will do that, cheeky... the key is to start with a nice mixture of ground meat (beef, pork, )

6:32 am

lil*monkey

red, a friend of mine who is vegan swears by mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes

6:33 am

redturtlehead

you canuse turkey too...

6:33 am

lilliann

i'm not a big potato eater, but i do like butternut squash

6:33 am

redturtlehead

Potatos are not vegan?

6:33 am

redturtlehead

I like cauliflower.

6:33 am

lil*monkey

yes but she considers them "empty" calories, i guess because they are starch

6:33 am

redturtlehead

My secret is to add spinach to the taters, and today, asparagus.

6:33 am

lilliann

i always mash my cauliflower and i put some mayo and some dijon mustard in and its lovely

6:34 am

redturtlehead

Well yes. but I liek carbohydrates.

6:34 am

Farruska

about 15 more minutes before I go eat. clues?

7:48 am

dan2bit

well knock my head off I found the 10

7:48 am

Farruska

tyger the cu6,24 derives from the cu4,6 right?

7:48 am

tygerbryght

go, dan. I thought it was an easy one

7:49 am

tygerbryght

it's built on those letters, but the meaning is unrelated :)

7:49 am

Farruska

just got it tyger :-=

7:49 am

tygerbryght

very good!

7:49 am

Farruska

lol nice word that cu6 :-)))

7:50 am

tygerbryght

I had trouble with it, but I agree. it's a neat word

7:51 am

Farruska

tygerbryght it's spanish and very similar to the portuguese one :-) I miss the portuguese cu6 :D

7:52 am

tygerbryght

yes, I know it's spanish, and I studied that language, but I still had trouble finding the word :P

7:52 am

tygerbryght

you simply never know when a given foreign language word will or won't be in a grid

7:53 am

tygerbryght

there are several spanish number words that appear in grids, but not all of 1 - 10. bizarre

7:54 am

Angelsong

only 11 words left....first pass through the grid is complete.

7:54 am

tygerbryght

sounds like you had about the same kind of trip thru as I did, ange

7:55 am

Angelsong

it's pretty simple, today.

7:55 am

Farruska

any clue for the de10 ?

7:55 am

tygerbryght

I thought so, too, but not everybody agrees with us

7:55 am

tygerbryght

what does a guillotine do, farru?

7:56 am

Aloyisius

don't lose your head over it, Farruska!

Scarlet

And to you, Aloy! How's your weather, kat?

Scarlet

Hi there, Uni! Well, thank you, and thee?

8:30 am

Uniquity

Lori and I are battling colds, but otherwise in good spirits!

8:30 am

carleekat

its..grey.. everything grey... trees...sky...ground... grey and taupe... the doldrums of late winter

8:30 am

Merk

The only thing better than fireworks is fireworks when Carlee is here. Ty

8:31 am

Uniquity

I can identify Kattie...although we have quite a bit of white blowing around right now as well

8:31 am

carleekat

how about there red..any signs of spring yet?

8:31 am

tygerbryght

8:31 am

pabtrek

hi Scarlet

8:31 am

ready to clue for about another 20-30 mins - then must go

8:32 am

Uniquity

Well, Tyger you are a cluing machine, huh?

8:33 am

Merk

Time to get ready for church. See you tomorrow.

8:33 am

tygerbryght

I enjoy helping people anyway, and Babblers tend to be very grateful for the help :D

8:33 am

carleekat

later merk... enjoy the day

8:33 am

tygerbryght

and sometimes I need help, too

8:33 am

Merk

<poof>

8:34 am

Aloyisius

bye, Merk..

8:34 am

Uniquity

In a strange way, I like this grid...up to 94 without list so far and going *strong*

8:35 am

tygerbryght

I found it an easy grid. but how any one person finds any given grid varies wildly

8:35 am

Aloyisius

am enjoying it too, Uni..

8:35 am

tygerbryght

I got all but 7 before I had to go to word lists

8:35 am

Uniquity

Yesterdays grid had me quite defeated...this feels better

8:36 am

carleekat

yesterday's stunk

8:36 am

tygerbryght

I've had 3 good days in a row. but that can't last :sigh:

8:36 am

godthaab

How many words today?

8:36 am

tygerbryght

219

8:37 am

godthaab

Thanks.

8:37 am

Uniquity

the last two days were killer for me, but the two before that were nice!

8:37 am

tygerbryght

with 4 7s, 2 8s, 1 10

8:37 am

tygerbryght

yw

8:37 am

tygerbryght

the 10 is really quite easy

8:38 am

tygerbryght

do you use Lickety's page, godthaab?

8:38 am

godthaab

Only when I run out of steam.

8:38 am

tygerbryght

or maybe I should ask if you even know about it? :)

8:39 am

Aloyisius

reluctantly, must go do some mundane things.. nice to be able to wake my brain cells up with Babble and chat with y'all... have a great day, Happy Babbling and will see you next time! (-:

8:39 am

tygerbryght

oh, I see. you're the stiff upper lip type :)

8:39 am

Uniquity

Enjoy, Aloy!

8:39 am

tygerbryght

have a good day, AM

8:39 am

pabtrek

bye Aloy

8:39 am

godthaab

Oh yes!

8:40 am

carleekat

later aloy

8:40 am

tygerbryght

I go straight to Lickety when I start the grid :)

8:41 am

godthaab

I usually jump in and type like a madman.

8:41 am

tygerbryght

If there weren't so many non-words in grids, I might feel differently. Not to mention the real words that aren't on the Enable list

8:42 am

tygerbryght

but someone ... I've forgotten who now, encouraged me to start a thread on Angelsong's message board about real words in grids, but not on the Enable list. I mostly remember to put them up

8:44 am

Uniquity

That is a good idea Tyger...I often commiserate a word not being accepted. Personal favorite: hoser!

8:44 am

tygerbryght

please feel free to add words to it, if you find one I didn't

8:44 am

tygerbryght

and thx

8:44 am

Scrabbler

I am finally back--I lost my internet connection!

8:45 am

tygerbryght

WB, scrabs

8:45 am

godthaab

The dictionary that this game uses drives me up the wall. I come across some many words that are common, but the dictionary is not only inconsistent, but lacking in detail. I see a word in the grid now that is not accepted.

8:45 am

tygerbryght

you're not on dialup, surely, scrabs?

8:45 am

pabtrek

hi Scrabbler

8:45 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers! Slipping the Ritalin in to Uni's hashbrowns breakfast this morn, certainly settled her down.

8:45 am

tygerbryght

which one, godth?

8:45 am

tygerbryght

hey, lori

8:46 am

pabtrek

hi Lori

8:46 am

Uniquity

That was a low blow...But good morning to you to, *mother*.

8:46 am

Uniquity

**to you too

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Nope--my cable modem misbehaved. I shut down everything, reconnected cords/cables, powered back up, and finally returned. I was in panic mo4! I hate being shut out of the web!

8:47 am

LoriP

G'd morning tyger, pab, uni.

8:48 am

tygerbryght

oh, me too! I freak when the DSL goes down

8:48 am

LoriP

Scrabbler, that is horrifying, isn't it.

8:48 am

Uniquity

Sounds like a power cycle to me, Scrabs! The internet likes to tease us by going away sometimes..

8:48 am

godthaab

Deux. Other French words seem to accepted at times, though.

8:48 am

tygerbryght

most of the time, my DSL is more reliable than the voice phone service!

8:49 am

Scrabbler

I nearly *GASP* started crying!

8:49 am

tygerbryght

deux is one of the 2 I saw, and put up on the message board

8:49 am

Uniquity

I am over halfway without the list so far...wahoo!

8:49 am

godthaab

Where is your message board?

8:49 am

tygerbryght

it's weird. random Spanish & French words are accepted, but it seems *truly* random which ones are in, and which ones aren't

8:50 am

tygerbryght

go, uni!

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Go Uniquity GO!!

8:50 am

LoriP

***The only place she's going, is insane...*** :-)

8:50 am

godthaab

Some Greek words are accepted: others not. I think it accepts "etas", but not "nike"

8:50 am

Uniquity

I have never understood the rule on what foreign words are allowed...lots of numbers are, but many others aren't

8:50 am

tygerbryght

not mine; Angelsong's. - the link's at the bottom of this page - but my thread is on the "How to" page

8:51 am

Scrabbler

Is it inherited, Lori?

8:51 am

tygerbryght

LOL, scrabs

8:51 am

Scrabbler

*Sorry, I had to say that in defense of Uniquity.**

8:51 am

LoriP

Prob'ally Scrabbler. ***shuffles feet, and changes the subject***

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Foot-shuffling is a common side effect of psychotropic meds, Lori. Did your psychiatrist tell you about that?

8:52 am

Uniquity

I am really being unfairly attacked here, I think...Someone is just bitter because she is not the pretty one....

8:52 am

tygerbryght

now, now, uni

8:52 am

featherbee

morning all

8:52 am

tygerbryght

8:53 am

tygerbryght

hey, feather!

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Hi Featherbee

8:53 am

LoriP

I don't listen to my shrink much. He keeps saying something about issues.

8:53 am

Uniquity

She's mad cuz I am leaving today. Trying to break my will so I stay forever

8:53 am

tygerbryght

LOL

8:53 am

pabtrek

hi feather

8:53 am

Uniquity

Not issues Lori, DISHES. As in washing...

8:53 am

LoriP

G'd morning Feather. ***shoots Uni a dirty look, and ignores comment***

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Due to time-release genes, my younger sisters point out that I am slowly turning into my mother.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

LOL, Lori. Life is full of "issues".

8:54 am

tygerbryght

you're mistaken, uni. she doesn't really want you to stay forever\

8:54 am

carleekat

tygerbryght

scrabs, we all do, but I'm only too glad to resemble my mother in any way I can

8:54 am

featherbee

8:54 am

Uniquity

I'm okay with being like my mother! I am a fan :)

8:55 am

carleekat

8:55 am

tygerbryght

I look like my father, and people have always expected me to act like him, too

8:55 am

carleekat

(ooh uni into suck up mode now ...<giggle> )

8:55 am

Atalante

the deadly insult i can give my mother, when she's being evil is "you're turning into your mother"

8:55 am

godthaab

I checked Angelsong, but I don't seem to be able to fine "How to.."

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I look like my dad, even in the hirsutism department, but my behaviors are becoming like my mom's, so I fear what I might be like in my 70's.

8:55 am

dan2bit

"you've got more issues than a magazine rack" - my wife was told by her pastor at one point :-)

8:55 am

tygerbryght

hey, ata! didn't see you around

8:55 am

Atalante

*deadliest

8:56 am

featherbee

i wouldn't dare say that to my mom, she'd actually be extremely hurt! she and her mom did not ever have a good relationship.

8:56 am

Atalante

I just turned up. No-one say hi. You all hate me.

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Dan. I will have to remember that one.

8:56 am

featherbee

shucks, ata found out the secret

8:56 am

Uniquity

My Grandmother rocks too...I am lucky that way. Apparently I look just like my dad's mum

8:56 am

Atalante

8:58 am

Uniquity

Scrabs, I forgot to turn on the burner for my eggs for over an hour the other day..I would look at them and wonder why they weren't going anywhere but never clued in!

8:58 am

Atalante

tygerbryght

9:20 am

dan2bit

9:20 am

tygerbryght

1st oc6 is plural of preceding oc5/14

9:20 am

Anniebrook

yay for dan!

9:20 am

tygerbryght

2nd oc6 is plural of ocean critter with many arms

9:20 am

dan2bit

oc6 - plural 8-legged sea creature

9:20 am

tygerbryght

yay, dan

9:20 am

hillary

i don't have that oc5!

9:20 am

dan2bit

snap tyg

9:21 am

tygerbryght

oc5/14 is latin(?) for group of 8

:) dan

9:21 am

hillary

tks tyger i had worked it out... fireworks@

9:21 am

lori ann

9:22 am

hillary

pi6 21 is plural of pi5, a sculpture by michelangelo

9:22 am

tygerbryght

pi6/21 plural of pi5/12 - think sculpture of Mary with dead Christ (and others)

9:22 am

hillary

very easter

9:22 am

tygerbryght

that's the 1st pi5/12

9:23 am

lori ann

thanks tyger!!!

9:24 am

tygerbryght

yw, hill (just looked back & saw)

9:24 am

lori ann

and hillary

9:24 am

tygerbryght

yw, lori

9:24 am

tygerbryght

it's usually helpful to see variants on the same clue. we don't all think alike :)

9:25 am

lori ann

This is very true tyger...

9:25 am

tygerbryght

WRT the pi6, some people think of the artist; others think of the statue

9:26 am

lori ann

I know it usually helps me to see different clues. I always appreciate any help I can get!!! LOL

9:26 am

tygerbryght

and we're all trying to give the clues as quickly as we can, so we don't put everything in :)

9:27 am

hillary

sometimes i think i must be thick because the clues are so cryptic...

9:27 am

tygerbryght

fortunately, I don't usually need help beyond the word lists, but sometimes I need multiple clues, and I feel so thick when that happens

9:27 am

lori ann

I am not good at giving clues yet. I'm afraid I'll goof up and give to much info. or not enough

9:28 am

tygerbryght

hill - we usually do try to keep the clues from being too overt, if we can (of course you know that) :) and only give the spell out ones when someone really needs them

9:28 am

lori ann

You are very lucky tyger. Hopefully I will get there someday.

9:28 am

tygerbryght

lori, nobody's perfect at clues, although some people are really good at it - jacula is one

9:28 am

hillary

yes i realise that but some references are pretty oblique... or culturally specific... or refer to some 'insider' babble code

9:29 am

hillary

but some are soooo clever and straightforward... it's a special skill

9:29 am

tygerbryght

I often don't get the "insider" clues myself

9:29 am

tygerbryght

I try to think when a clue will be U.S. culture-specific, as I know we have people from all over

9:30 am

lori ann

I will stick to receiving the clues for awhile...Maybe someday I can give back some. thank you all!!

9:30 am

hillary

i like the challenge of clueing... but sometimes i think it's too hard to even begin to bother.

9:30 am

tygerbryght

sometimes it is really hard, but nobody asks for help unless they need it (except newbies sometimes)

9:31 am

tygerbryght

don't push yourself, lori. there is usually somebody :)

9:32 am

lori ann

I always wait till I am driving myself crazy to ask for help. I like to challenge myself with getting the words on my own.

9:32 am

tygerbryght

but I'm about to bail out. I didn't get much rest last nite, so I'm going back to bed in just a few. Last call! :)

9:32 am

hillary

well time to turn in... after midnight here. good night all.

9:32 am

tygerbryght

nite, hill

9:32 am

dan2bit

good night hill & tyg

9:33 am

tygerbryght

lori, most of us are like that. I think that's what makes a true Babbler :D

9:33 am

lori ann

sweet dreams hillary...

9:33 am

pabtrek

bye hillary

9:34 am

tygerbryght

dan, will you be able to stick around and clue?

9:34 am

dan2bit

9:43 am

rolin

9:44 am

rolin

*pats monkey on the head*

9:44 am

9:47 am

Haz1558

What sort of art was on show?

9:48 am

rolin

20th century mainly... some lovely impressionist stuff..(my fav)... but matisse 'the dance' was there and a stunning picasso...but the stuff that intrigued me was called 'fcubo-futurism'...

10:15 am

Apparently Auschwitz is an experience that you feeling glad you did it but profoundly disturbed by.

10:15 am

Haz1558

It's something I've always wanted to do as well, rolin, so this is a great opportunity for me. I don't expect to 'enjoy' it, but I feel it needs to be done.

ExWren

ExWren

10:21 am

jmsmo93

hi all how's the puzzle today?

10:21 am

Haz1558

inge, I know that Auschwitz is preserved, I haven't really investigated other camps and whether they can be visited. It just happens that we'll be staying in Krakow, so it is easy to get to Auschwitz.

10:21 am

pabtrek

not too bad jms, have 10 left and just going to the list now

10:22 am

Haz1558

ex-Wren, that sounds great! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. This is the first chance to see your son for a while, isn't it?

10:22 am

inge

Buchenwald near Weimar is also preserved and verrrry informative and complete.

10:22 am

KatieMcG

sorry didn't mean to post twice, it's going really well thanks Haz, would probably have been cheaper to get some made, but it's more fun and personal this way :-)

10:22 am

Haz1558

Thanks for the info, inge.

10:22 am

ExWren

I do speak to him via the web-cam

10:22 am

inge

Got to leavea for Orchestra Hall, Schubert's 9th today. *poof*

10:22 am

Haz1558

That's good, katie. You're still remembering to breathe and smile?

10:23 am

Haz1558

Bye, inge.

10:23 am

rolin

the most heart stopping moment for me was whne i was going ound the anne frank museum and i walked up to a display cabinet to see the yellow cloth star...just seeing it 'for real'..was very emotional for me

10:23 am

lilliann

there is also a town in france, calledoradour sur glane which is about an hour away from my parents that i would like to go and see. the germans killed all the towns people apart from a boy who escaped.

10:23 am

Haz1558

I remember when you first told us he was going, ex-Wren - it was a big wrench for you.

10:24 am

KatieMcG

Lol Haz, getting better at that, we keep remembering why we are doing it. Went to Church this morning and it was lovely so we are holding on to the more important things

10:24 am

Haz1558

That's good, katie.

10:25 am

Haz1558

I think some brides lose their sense of perspective.

10:25 am

rolin

brides?

10:26 am

KatieMcG

I did a couple of weeks ago but I am so lucky with my family and girls in the support network so got back on track quickly

10:26 am

Haz1558

Katie is getting married.

10:26 am

KatieMcG

Sobbing because the bridesmaids weren't interested, now realise that others have more important things in their lives

10:26 am

Atalante

especially chav ones with big dresses

10:27 am

rolin

congrats katie

10:27 am

KatieMcG

thanks rolin :-)

10:27 am

Haz1558

Oh, katie. Feeling better now?

10:27 am

ExWren

I have been to the Anne Frank's House. I have also been to the 'death' railway in Thailand, and visited one of the enormous cemetery's at Kanchanaburee. There is a mock-up of one of the prison camps - I was overcome with disgust when I saw a coach load of Japanese people visiting it

10:27 am

Anniebrook

congratulations, katie, when is the big day?

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

hi ata

10:28 am

Haz1558

You've done some travelling in your time, ex-Wren.

10:28 am

KatieMcG

9 weeks Annie, much better thanks Haz, it was me as much as them so decided to chill out a little.

10:29 am

ExWren

That is why I am poor now!

10:29 am

rolin

but ex-wren..that would be like saying present day germans shouldnt visit auchwitz..surely its important for generations to know what their history is to prevent it

10:29 am

ExWren

Keep doing the Lotto

10:30 am

Haz1558

It's better to have travelled and got the memories than to sit on your money and regret later not having taken the opportunity.

10:30 am

KatieMcG

I agree rolin. many years ago I went on a trip tending war graves. The German Teenagers on the trip were probably more respectful than the rest if anything

10:30 am

rolin

absolutely haz...thats how i justify squirreling away my holiday money every month

10:30 am

ExWren

It was just the way they were going around, laughing and chatting, I wanted to see remorse

10:31 am

rolin

hmm... well often ppl make light of things that are difficult to face up to..

10:31 am

KatieMcG

We have a choice of paying off the house early or going on lovely holidays........maldives for christmas then!!

10:31 am

ExWren

My Father is in a War Graves cemetery in Narvik. He died on my 7th birthday. I have visited him there. More travelling!

10:32 am

Anniebrook

Wren, very sad...

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i so agree, haz. i am waiting but it hinnnk, "what if i cannot walk or have enough healthy to go later?"

10:33 am

KatieMcG

The British graves are so well tended so we looked after the Russian ones (this was 22 years ago) it was great to give something back

10:33 am

rolin

im yet to go to ypres and places like that

10:33 am

lilliann

that's very sad wren, but thanks to people like your dad we all have the life we have now and the younger generations should be grateful

10:34 am

Haz1558

I know, TO. Obviously it has to be a case of being able to afford to go, but if the money is there, I say use it and enjoy.

10:34 am

KatieMcG

Lill well put that's what I meant about giving something back

10:34 am

rolin

its called skiing...

10:34 am

rolin

Spending the Kids' Inheritance..lol

10:34 am

Haz1558

at7/40 pls?

10:45 am

KatieMcG

I really liked it rolin but would recommend 4* or above and read Debbies Caribbean Dreams website for reviews before you chose a hotel.

10:45 am

rolin

is it mainly resorty...?

10:45 am

nancethefan

hey & happy babbling everyone

10:46 am

Haz1558

at7/40 - three letters of consuming food in the past, Spanish today, but replacing the first consonant with another.

10:46 am

lilliann

past tense of eat +type of wool(** hair0 and german for yes

10:46 am

Haz1558

Or, consumed food, and google Bill Lear widow

10:47 am

Haz1558

German for yes has a j, though.

10:47 am

Atalante

as we well know

10:47 am

Haz1558

Hello nance.

10:47 am

nancethefan

Atalante

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

10:50 am

Mary

ty all for the clue on the at7

10:50 am

Haz1558

Is that Russian for yes? Or some other language?

10:50 am

KatieMcG

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

at7: 1. a tropical tree of the Philippines that is a hybrid of the cherimoya and sweetsop.
2. the pinecone- or heart-shaped fruit of this tree, having a sweet, edible, white pulp

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

i beleive you are right, haz!

10:51 am

EspritdJean

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

how so, jean?

10:51 am

nancethefan

did y'all enjoy yesterday's grid? i didn't.

10:52 am

EspritdJean

10:52 am

KatieMcG

i gave up on it nance

10:52 am

EspritdJean

:-)

10:52 am

nancethefan

me, too & hey katie

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry. i gave it to google.

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

do we give google clues anymore?

10:54 am

Haz1558

Yes, they're still given, TO. I think you'd deserve to get the word if you're prepared to read the blurb and work it out.

10:54 am

KatieMcG

i like google clues :-)

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

really, it would never have occurred to me.

10:55 am

nancethefan

i think it's cool that y'all make your icons clues - well done y'all

10:55 am

Haz1558

Only on a Friday, though, nance.

10:56 am

nancethefan

that's ok - i think it's cool

10:57 am

Dorens

morning all (just barely morning here, though)

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i so want to make "optic" and "tomato" and "potato"

10:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Dorens.

10:57 am

Anniebrook

Hi dorens

10:57 am

Haz1558

Potato was nearly in yesterday's grid as well.

10:57 am

nancethefan

morning dorens

10:57 am

Dorens

i was seeing potato constantly.... thought it was cause I

10:57 am

Dorens

m no south beach diet and can't eat them

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh, how's that gong, doren?

10:58 am

Anniebrook

i want optic

10:58 am

Haz1558

The South Beach diet would go down like a lead balloon in Ireland.

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

and "seduce"

10:58 am

KatieMcG

this has become harder since crumble came for a cuddle & settled down. i hate only using one hand

10:58 am

Dorens

going well, except I was taking prednisone for ten days and that tends to put on weight -- sort of counterproductive

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

i'll say! feeling better?

10:59 am

Dorens

true haz.... it is hard (no white bread, white rice, white potatoes, etc).....unfortunately, altho the prednisone gave me great energy and sense of well-being, it didn't do what it was supposed to do

11:00 am

robwhy

and "elastic"

11:00 am

robwhy

elst

11:01 am

Haz1558

Is prednisolone a form of cortisone?

11:01 am

circe

ahh dorens...funny these diets...drs put me on a low residue = only white breads, white rice (max of 10 grams of fiber a day) no fresh fruits or veggies. Sigh. I eat the diet of your typical 7 year old. And I can sure relate to the prednisone probs too. My sympathies.

11:01 am

Dorens

yup... i've had an asthmatic/bronchitis thing that i get from time to time... and after 6 weeks of it, they thought the steroids might help. didn't though

11:02 am

Haz1558

That's a pity.

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

it is a bad season here. many are getting steroids for ear infections, bronchitis et all currently.

11:02 am

Haz1558

Anyway, time to go and do something el4/4. Have a good day all!

11:03 am

Dorens

well, it really isn't a horribly life-altering condition... i see so many people who are worse off than I, so can't complain

11:03 am

Anniebrook

bye Haz, enjoy your day

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

good bye, haz....see you soon.

11:03 am

Haz1558

11:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i am going for a physcial tomorrow. unfortunately, i forgot and ate over a pint of ice cream : (

11:18 am

Scrabbler

The Sabres are fighting for a playoff position and will probably keep us tense til the very end.

11:19 am

Scrabbler

Ice cream---better than psychotropic meds!

11:19 am

montreal13

we were in that position last year...and the Habs failed to make it...

11:19 am

72 Temple Owl

mmmbanana nut

11:19 am

Atalante

Habs? Habaneros?

11:20 am

montreal13

habitants Ata..."sigh"

11:20 am

crpw48

all ice cream lovers---i know this sounds weird but go to Walgreens and buy BlueBerry Pie ice cream, its the best ever

11:20 am

Scrabbler

I would choose something with the words triple chocolate fudge brownie delight in the name, Owl.

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my, then you have tried hagen daz brownie?

11:21 am

Scrabbler

Probably, Owl--during PMS or another emotional slump.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

LOl my binge triggered solely by finding the banana flavor...

11:22 am

pk

hi all babblers! happy sunday!

11:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi pk!

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

11:23 am

montreal13

11:23 am

Scrabbler

Ice cream, pudding, mousse, brownies (or the batter)--my comfort foods!

11:29 am

Scrabbler

On Friday we did 2 loops (5 miles to5) and, boy, was I depleted!

11:29 am

Scrabbler

Get better quickly, Doren!

11:29 am

Dorens

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

*walks over to join doren in former smoker's corner*

11:30 am

Scrabbler

You are young, Luc!

11:31 am

Erda

what is COPD?

11:31 am

Dorens

it's just that when it starts, you feel that tightness in the chest, and you know, ugh, it will be here for months. and all the inhalers and cough medicine don't seem to stop it)

11:31 am

crpw48

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

11:31 am

Scrabbler

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

11:31 am

Erda

montreal13

11:33 am

montreal13

emphysema is one of the copd's...

11:38 am

montreal13

well scrabs, my daughter suffers from an extremely rare form of hepatitis - her own kidneys fabricate antibodies that attempt to destroy her liver - when she was diagnosed, she was the only one in Canada with that disease...

11:38 am

Atalante

why do antibiotics in large doses cause you to sit on the loo for large portions of the day? what is it that they are doing to cause that?

11:39 am

montreal13

Ata, antibiotics destroy all bacterias, the good with the bad...

11:40 am

Atalante

That was 2 years ago and, really, the worst part of it all was the IV pump. The antibio's had to be refrigerated so it was pumping COLD right into me.

11:57 am

doxy1lover

doxy1lover

hi asgreen

11:58 am

11:59 am

Scarlet

Hi, asgreen... enjoy the grid, but there are some oddball words that are fun to go nutzo over finding!

11:59 am

1:13 pm

Farruska

1:14 pm

Mom

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

doxy1lover

1:14 pm

JBV

oh, boy - you see? the grass is not always greener...

1:14 pm

Mom

oh JBV, I am sure you do love him and will miss him once he is gone

1:15 pm

stidmama

wow doxy... that's a tough transition, I have heard.

1:15 pm

Mom

oh Doxy, I hear about a lot of that. Our neighbor had the same thing happen to them

1:15 pm

doxy1lover

I'm ready for her to move out. I want my privacy bak

1:15 pm

doxy1lover

back

1:15 pm

JBV

well, he is also my on-site technical consultant so I don't know what I would do with my computer if he were not here!

1:16 pm

redturtlehead

Wow,My Mom would have never let us move back in...I did stay with them for about 2 months once after beign overseas, we all went crazy.

1:17 pm

JBV

I'm with you, red - after I moved out of my parents' house at 21 - I never spent a night there- even when I had a severe back problem, I managed on my own

1:17 pm

doxy1lover

special circumstances though. her hubby is in prison right now. soon to be released. he is a good worker, so can't wait for him to get out. long story.

1:17 pm

Atalante

I moved out at 15 LOL

1:17 pm

JBV

but of course, things were very different back then (I'm going back a-ways) my monthly rent was $109 !!

1:18 pm

JBV

wow, ata - 15 - that sounds like you have a story, too

1:18 pm

Mom

the quiet is deafening. They can move back at any time. Kind of like the Walton's, we would add on if they wanted to come back.

1:18 pm

stidmama

I needed a place to live a couple times as a young adult when I lost my housing... but it never was really a safe place for me. I always moved out again as fast as I could.

1:18 pm

redturtlehead

Things change and people do have circumstances...My parentsdid come andhelp me at my house for about a week when I had my surgery on my hand....

redturtlehead

I am lucky to have apaying and in demandcareer.

1:19 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Babble.

1:19 pm

Atalante

not really lol. I was just ready to escape. I'd finished my A levels, spent some time bumming round the world then went to uni

1:19 pm

stidmama

I want to be that sort of Mother to my children, Mom. We have told them they are always welcome here, and don't have to rush their schooling because of needing to move out.

1:19 pm

Mom

and Ata and Doxy, and all, a hug to all of you

1:20 pm

stidmama

good for you, Atalante, exploring the world some before college. I wish I had done the same.

1:20 pm

doxy1lover

it would be better if she helped more around the house. Right now, I am sole supporter of all of us. Only one working since hubby retired at end of December.

1:20 pm

Mom

and you will be Stid, I can tell by the way you talk about them

1:20 pm

Uniquity

I am welcome back at LoriPs any day, just as every child and grandchild is welcome back at my grandparents, if necessary. Our family has a wonderful support system, and I am lucky to have them

1:20 pm

stidmama

you ARE lucky, Uniquity -- what a joy to have family like that!

1:20 pm

Atalante

and I've always been a vastly independent little brat

1:21 pm

redturtlehead

Uni, that is one scary looking M and M...

1:21 pm

Uniquity

No permanent solution by any means, but there is always a security blanket

1:22 pm

stidmama

I wish "oxude" was a word -- exude forcefully while causing the material to rust... LOL

1:22 pm

Uniquity

She has the enable dictionary in her hand...tiara because i am a *princess*...butt kicking boots!

1:22 pm

Uniquity

Stid, I think you should propose that to the world. Make words, not war!

1:22 pm

doxy1lover

I gotta get me an M&M

1:22 pm

stidmama

hear, hear, Uniquity! words RULE!

1:23 pm

Uniquity

I need to put instructions on how to save it in my profile...I refused to sign up, so cheated

1:23 pm

rururocks

make wine.. not war

1:23 pm

Atalante

stiddy - I've never stopped getting out and seeing the world, I've never lived in 1 place more than about 3 years

1:23 pm

doxy1lover

I would love to know how to save it

1:24 pm

stidmama

mmmm. I like that idea, too, ruru!

1:24 pm

doxy1lover

I thought I read "whine" for a second

1:24 pm

rururocks

It would make the middle east a safer place

1:25 pm

stidmama

I don't want to go places anymore Atalante... I like museums and gardens, but traveling is so hard on me. I just hate it.

1:25 pm

doxy1lover

I love to travel. would love to do a lot more.

1:25 pm

stidmama

I much prefer my small, overcrowded and less-than-kempt home.

1:26 pm

Atalante

I've just never really done anything else. I can't imagine staying in one place

1:26 pm

Uniquity

Okay. If you are computer illiterate, the instructions are going to sounds awfully complicated, but I swear they are not! Good luck, I have pasted a way to save without signing up

1:26 pm

doxy1lover

thanks uni

1:26 pm

Uniquity

I've never travelled...someday I will be rich and I will do it, but that day is far away. I am a homebody anyway...

1:26 pm

stidmama

1:30 pm

stidmama

1:30 pm

2:50 pm

Krista

2:50 pm

tygerbryght

2:51 pm

tygerbryght

BRB

2:51 pm

Krista

just trying to look gangsta because Monkey called me LudaKrista (Luda Criss is rap singer)..grills are those obnoxious gold teeth

2:52 pm

Krista

which I bet Bubba wears all the time

2:52 pm

lil*monkey

LOL! thas right homey, whas the shizzle?

2:52 pm

tygerbryght

oh. color me oblivious ... or ignorant :D

2:53 pm

lil*monkey

better to be ignorant of gangsta speak... it's so offensive to the real english language

2:53 pm

Krista

Get down with the lingo...that's how we roll, tyger..ok, that's about the extent of my knowledge

2:53 pm

tygerbryght

thx, monk ... or at least I think so :)

2:53 pm

Krista

2:54 pm

lil*monkey

2:54 pm

lil*monkey

LOL

2:55 pm

Krista

Wow, am I THAT transparent? Sheesh. My niece keeps me semi up-to-date.

2:55 pm

tygerbryght

at least down here (one of the great things about the south), no matter how they look, most are polite. young man (I can't even imagine how his pants stay on; he must have a crease in his butt) held door at bank for me Friday

2:55 pm

lil*monkey

word up ludaKrista

2:55 pm

tygerbryght

or maybe he has hidden suspenders??

2:56 pm

Krista

i'm a sucker for manners

2:56 pm

tygerbryght

me too, krista

2:56 pm

tygerbryght

of course, lotsa people are nice enough to hold doors for someone using a walker

2:56 pm

lil*monkey

i'm currently wading through the TE words.... *slosh, slosh*

2:57 pm

tygerbryght

and that's me

2:57 pm

tygerbryght

ROFL, monk

2:57 pm

lil*monkey

tyger, does your walker have some blingbling ???

2:57 pm

tygerbryght

nope, monk. it's pretty beat up, and was never pretty; very basic

2:58 pm

tygerbryght

I'd love one of those now with the built-in seat :yearn:

2:58 pm

lil*monkey

oh those rollators are the best... the rolls royce of walkers

2:58 pm

Krista

that's a great idea..never saw those..sorry you have to use one, tyger

2:59 pm

Krista

not pitying you, just empathizing..you understand

3:00 pm

tygerbryght

it's mostly to keep me from tripping over my feet, krista. my Rt leg useta be 1/2 inch longer than the L. but since artificial hip & knee, the L is 3/4 inch longer than the Rt, but my brain has never adjusted, so I stub my toe allatime :(

3:00 pm

tygerbryght

no, I didn't think you were pitying me. it's okay

3:00 pm

Krista

my MIL gets plenty of inconsiderate people when she is in her scooter..but I think she brings some of that on herself by expecting the seas to part when they see her coming

3:00 pm

tygerbryght

the walker keeps me from falling when I stumble

3:01 pm

bethn

hi all back for final 49. just got home from visiting the ronx botanical gardens orchid show. makes you really yearn for spring

3:01 pm

tygerbryght

3:01 pm

tygerbryght

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

Scrabbler

I am back--tyger + lil*monkey, have you been here since this AM?

3:01 pm

lil*monkey

oh tyger , so sorry about that... can you put a lift in the shoe of the shorter leg ???

3:01 pm

tygerbryght

nope, scrabs. I only came back about an hour ago

3:01 pm

Krista

I had to read that a few times to understand it, tyger..that WOULD take a lot of adjusting!

3:02 pm

tygerbryght

I have either lifts or built-up shoes for Rt foot, monk - and very expensive they are :(

3:02 pm

Krista

Hey Beth and Scrabbs!

3:03 pm

lil*monkey

3:03 pm

tygerbryght

3:04 pm

DR1965

3:04 pm

Ping

ty lil

3:04 pm

bethn

nope krista, thanks for asking. i was thinking of writing in to a cou try cooking magazine i subscribe to to see if anyone there had ever heard of it

3:05 pm

Krista

was just reading your bio, tyger..you've been "through the mill" as we say around here...hey Ping

3:05 pm

lil*monkey

hey everyone you should click on ping's icon... it dances

3:05 pm

tygerbryght

yup, I kinda have, but I had a *wonderful* childhood, and I think that gives a person a lot of strength. I surely needed it after my mom died

3:06 pm

Krista

Like Taste of Home? That's a great idea.

3:06 pm

tygerbryght

icon is cute, ping

3:06 pm

Ping

ty tyger

3:06 pm

Ping

hi krista!

3:06 pm

DR1965

DO you get tired of people telling you how strong you are?? I know with the things I havegonethru peole always say that

3:06 pm

bethn

thats the one krista , good old fashioned country cooking

3:07 pm

DR1965

Sometimes I get tired of being strong!

3:07 pm

tygerbryght

no, DR. I'm used to it. and yes, I do get tired of being strong sometimes, but a good cry usually fixes that :)

3:08 pm

DR1965

Just wanted to make sure it wasnt just me.. I am th esame way

3:08 pm

tygerbryght

that sounded confused. clarification: It doesn't bother me what people say, but I do get tired

3:09 pm

DR1965

I knew what you meant.. I am the same way

3:09 pm

tygerbryght

:)

3:09 pm

Krista

Being strong is overrated sometimes!

3:09 pm

tygerbryght

people are mostly kind-hearted and mean well

3:10 pm

tygerbryght

and the bunch around here are especially nice

3:10 pm

DR1965

so true Krista

3:10 pm

Scrabbler

Stoicism can be unhealthy at times.

3:10 pm

tygerbryght

you're SO right, scrabs

3:10 pm

tygerbryght

and that's when a good cry is so helpful

3:10 pm

Krista

my mother's stock response is "what choice did I have??" (but she did have a choice in her attitude..which got her through...and thats what people mean..though it can get annoying)

3:11 pm

Scrabbler

I found all of the long CA words by myself! **doing the Atalante Dance of Smugness**

3:11 pm

periwinkle

Good for You, Scrabs

3:11 pm

DR1965

WOOHOO Scrabs !!

3:11 pm

tygerbryght

go, scrabs! very well done

3:11 pm

Krista

You need more asterisks, Scrabbs. :)

3:11 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, but I still need 80 more words!

3:12 pm

periwinkle

33 here :-)

3:12 pm

Scrabbler

What is the rule with asterisks anyway?

3:12 pm

tygerbryght

I can understand why your mom's stock answer would get annoying, but the attitude itself is what's important

3:12 pm

tygerbryght

so GO, both of you :D

3:12 pm

Scrabbler

*********I love asterisks*********

3:12 pm

tygerbryght

last was for krista ;)

3:13 pm

tygerbryght

about attitude, I mean

3:13 pm

Krista

i knew what you meant :)

3:13 pm

Ping

i have 180 to go - all relative!

3:13 pm

tygerbryght

I hit [return] too fast, and wind up with long stretches of comments :sigh:

3:13 pm

Ping

hey peri!

3:13 pm

DR1965

go Ping go

3:13 pm

Ping

ty doc!

3:14 pm

tygerbryght

but it's not a really hard grid, ping ... or at least I found it mostly easy

3:14 pm

Krista

You just needed to pepper your smug dance with more asterisks, a la Ata: *****smug*****

3:14 pm

tygerbryght

clues, anyone?

3:15 pm

Krista

166 here, Ping..trying to catch up on Scrabulous, Scramble, do grid, chat, and supervise kids playing outside... I CAN have it all!

3:15 pm

Ping

so far, very easy - but that can end quickly in babble, as i recall

3:15 pm

tygerbryght

scrabs, have you got the 10 yet?

3:15 pm

DR1965

oc/5 before the sea creatures?

3:15 pm

Darn visitors, interrupting Babble. SIGH

3:17 pm

bubba218

No, that wouldn't have taken so long, a friend needed to boorrow soemthing

3:17 pm

Ping

3:17 pm

tygerbryght

oops, I think I gave wrong; the 2nd oc5 is an adjective

3:17 pm

bubba218

Hi Ping!

3:17 pm

DR1965

well I needed both so its ok

3:17 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, I am searching for gift basket deliveries. I want to show appreciation to the docs and nurses that took care of my nephew in the hospital this past week.

3:18 pm

tygerbryght

how's he doing, scrabs?

3:18 pm

Krista

yes...how is he?

3:18 pm

tygerbryght

3:18 pm

tygerbryght

:blush:

3:20 pm

Scrabbler

He came home Fri AM and is doing well on oral antibiotics,

3:20 pm

tygerbryght

3:20 pm

periwinkle

HI there, Ping!!

3:21 pm

tygerbryght

3:21 pm

Krista

that's super

3:22 pm

tygerbryght

it was a story about Iraqis returning home. the wordplay was in a photo with the story. hospital reminded me of it

3:23 pm

Krista

not regulary, tyger...Scrabbler...had to pass turn on Scrabulous...always forget what to do I am out of moves but have tiles still...

3:23 pm

tygerbryght

Iraqi govt is providing transportation home from Syria by bus. The English sign on the bus said "Happy Gurneys"

3:23 pm

Krista

(regularly..geesh)...what was the wordplay

3:23 pm

Scrabbler

I read Newsweek, but the story is not coming to mind.

3:24 pm

tygerbryght

a *really* stinky almost pun

3:24 pm

Krista

bet that's a pleasant ride...not

3:24 pm

Scrabbler

Journeys....gurneys. Aaaaahhhh

3:24 pm

Ping

3:24 pm

periwinkle

3:25 pm

tygerbryght

indeed, scrabs :P

3:25 pm

periwinkle

depends on the time of day/night though too ping

3:25 pm

tygerbryght

you can see why it stuck in my mind

3:25 pm

JBV

hi again - just made a giant pot of chicken soup to have during the week.... scrab I saw your post about gift baskets - have you ever tried Edible Fruit Arrangements? most people love them

3:25 pm

tygerbryght

hey, jbv

3:25 pm

periwinkle

I love those baskets, JBV

3:26 pm

Ping

we sent someone an edible arrangement last week

3:26 pm

tygerbryght

3:26 pm

autumn moon

That is the best jbv. I did one for the nursing staff at the hospital after me week long stay after surgery

3:26 pm

DR1965

I am ok Tyger... 31 to go

3:27 pm

JBV

I love fruit so they are a real treat

3:27 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I have had Edible Arrangements. Any other ideas?--I am searching.

3:28 pm

tygerbryght

this grid IS mostly quite easy, but there are a few real stinkers in it. don't want to abandon y'all

3:28 pm

tygerbryght

at7 is a Philippine tree

3:28 pm

autumn moon

Scrabs - I put in about 8 pounds of fruit

3:28 pm

JBV

3:29 pm

3:32 pm

evanonut

krista!!!

3:32 pm

JBV

autumn, that sounds like a wonderful gift basket

3:32 pm

Scrabbler

I don't drink so giving booze would be a joke

3:32 pm

Krista

I'm sure that's a big hit, Bubba ...and well appreciated

3:32 pm

Scrabbler

It would be a funny, ironic joke.

3:32 pm

autumn moon

The nurses put up with me for 2 weeks...and I was pretty grumpy after the first week.

3:32 pm

3:32 pm

ChrissieDee

3:33 pm

Krista

No, I suppose not a good idea, Scrabbler.

3:33 pm

evanonut

i'm' not grumpy with the nurses, even with the grumpy ones, i just get even with them

thanks for the wishes, sorry...just realized I forgot it again (our Mother's Day is in May, but always always forget to send husband's grandmother a card)

3:56 pm

mo

its mothers day here in Britain, I think mothering Sunday is later in the year.

3:57 pm

bethn

3:57 pm

JBV

Happy Mothers Day, mo

3:57 pm

Krista

they are not the same thing?

3:57 pm

bethn

great minds krista lol

3:58 pm

Krista

of course, Beth :)

3:59 pm

mo

I think mothers day is a Brit thing and Mothering Sunday is an American celebration.

3:59 pm

bethn

mother's day is in may in usa. second sunday i think

4:00 pm

Krista

I'm confused because I never heard of Mothering Sunday until I married a Brit..either way, I forgot his gmother's card again. UGH.

4:00 pm

mo

But dont quote me on that not being a mother myself I am not up on these things.

4:01 pm

Krista

s'okay, Mo...get frustrated with my bad memory lately...thought Babble was supposed to help with that ;)

4:01 pm

mo

Mothering Sunday is probable a Christian thing!!!!

4:02 pm

Krista

ah, could be a church version of mother's day...

4:03 pm

mo

you could be right Krista.

4:03 pm

Krista

just looked it up...just a different way to say it..it's today...prob an old fashioned way of saying mother's day

4:04 pm

KatieMcG

I went to church today and it was a fantastic service full of fun and laughter for mothering sunday

Mom

7:48 pm

pam

That's a lot of snow! I LOVE winter...

7:48 pm

Lindrickway

the snow plow pushes it to the edge of the street and then the diggers come and put it in trucks and take it away

7:49 pm

Lindrickway

oh pam we have had 3 months of freezing and snow already and still have another month to go

7:49 pm

Mom

wow, that is nice. They push ours to the side of the road and then you have to shovel it yourself to get into and out of the driveway

7:49 pm

Lindrickway

the piles they take away are over 3 foot high!!

7:50 pm

Mom

and in front of the mailbox so we can get the mail delivered

7:50 pm

pam

Yep, Toronto gets more snow and cold than Boston!

7:50 pm

Mom

Lindrickway

7:52 pm

Mom

I enjoy all the seasons here, but I don't like the ice or snow anymore

7:53 pm

Mom

not since the boys got their driver's license :)

7:53 pm

Lindrickway

oh i hate driving in snow! none of my kids drive yet thankfully, that is another hurdle for me to jump later on!

7:54 pm

Mom

and it is a hurdle, to be sure

7:54 pm

pam

Yes, I am in Boston, Lind.

7:54 pm

Mom

how old are your daughters, Lindrickway?

7:54 pm

Lindrickway

oh cool isn't that where cheers is set?

7:59 pm

Lindrickway

actually i am considering going back home at the moment mom

7:59 pm

Mom

my knowledge of the weather in other places than here is not very good. Does the UK get a lot of snow?

8:00 pm

Mom

for a visit or for good, Lindrickway?

8:00 pm

Lindrickway

occassionally they get a good helping but not very often

8:00 pm

Lindrickway

for good mom

8:00 pm

Mom

would your children go back with you?

8:01 pm

Lindrickway

no, that is what is holding me back right now

8:01 pm

Mom

that would be so hard

8:01 pm

Lindrickway

i am having health problems, empty nest syndrome and this has been a very long cold winter

8:01 pm

Mom

a difficult decision for sure

8:02 pm

Lindrickway

8:09 pm

Mom

8:10 pm

Lindrickway

8:10 pm

LadyFeline

Excuse me for interrupting, but it definitely does cost a pretty penny. Well, I flew from Chicago to Brisbane in January and it cost me $2300...

8:10 pm

Mom

I don't think we would get Herin away from her boyfriend or her kitty

8:10 pm

Lindrickway

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

Hi LadyFeline Yes indeed

8:10 pm

Mom

no apologies needed, LadyFeline. Hello

8:11 pm

Lindrickway

oh i mean not working

8:11 pm

LadyFeline

My bf was a foreign exchange student for a semester and he's currently living back there again (very unfortunately)

8:11 pm

LadyFeline

Hello there :) I'm always babbling but I never talk. Lol... I do love to travel, though :)

8:11 pm

Mom

so sorry to hear that LadyFeline.

8:11 pm

Mom

I am not getting much done on the grid either

8:12 pm

Mom

LadyFeline, so glad you spoke up

8:12 pm

Lindrickway

i love to be places but not too keen on the travelling part LadyFeline

8:12 pm

LadyFeline

Ah, Mom, that's alright. I'm thinking about being an exchange student next year when I'm a junior at uni. :)

8:12 pm

LadyFeline

Don't like flying, Lindrick?

8:13 pm

Lindrickway

just get bored having to sit still

8:13 pm

herinfernallady

Even when i was working i had run a clean house. It doesn't take long.Get home from work, put oven on for food, prep food, shower, laundry. Get dinner on get changed eat and so on

8:14 pm

Lindrickway

i travelled back to the UK twice last year and i just find it irritating that it takes so very long with having to be at the airport so early etc

8:14 pm

Mom

where would you like to go to be an exchange student?

8:14 pm

LadyFeline

Yeah, it's a long time travel time across the Pacific! You always see people doing "plane walks," though... That's always something you can do on especially long flights.

8:14 pm

Lindrickway

I work 10 hours a day herin and by the time i get dinner and babble it is time for bed!!

8:14 pm

LadyFeline

Ohhh yeah... Waits at the airport kill me!

Mom, I'd like to be an exchange student in Queensland... I LOVED Aus!

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

Melbourne Rocks

8:15 pm

Mom

8:15 pm

Lindrickway

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

YAHHHHHHHHHH 5 Foot high washing pile now 60 liters

8:16 pm

LadyFeline

I have yet to see Melbourne, herin, but I will have a visit the next time I get over there... And, thanks, everyone! :)

8:16 pm

Mom

I should scoot off here and get ready for bed. It was so nice to meet you Lindrickway and LadyFeline.

8:16 pm

Lindrickway

yeah you to mom

8:17 pm

LadyFeline

Thanks and nice meeting you, too.

8:17 pm

Lindrickway

what time is it there mom?

8:17 pm

herinfernallady

If you spend 30min a day doing house choirs it doesn't take long. You can make a game of Hoops for little kids to get their washing into the basket

8:17 pm

Mom

Good night everyone {{Hugs}} to all of you

howdy, stid! :)

11:08 pm

dcseain

i seem to've frightened everyone ;)

11:08 pm

stidmama

seain, thanks for that recipe the other day (yesterday?) I am inspired to go back to my cookbooks and be a little more creative in the kitchen again.

11:09 pm

jillibus

and I'm back too :D

11:09 pm

stidmama

I also looked around your livejournal pages, and found we have several interests in common.

11:09 pm

stidmama

hey jilleroo! Did you get firewords?

11:09 pm

jillibus

what recipe, dc & stid?

11:09 pm

stidmama

the one for vegan sausages and potatoes. It sounds yummy, but must get sausages before I can try it. :-)

11:09 pm

Atalante

hi all. I'm awake far too early and bored!

11:09 pm

jillibus

yep, stid -- more easily that I expected

11:10 pm

dcseain

oh, a simple skillet dish i threw together yesterday, jilli.

11:10 pm

stidmama

hey atalante! I looked for a pic for you to deface, but haven't found one yet. I don't usually take pics of myself...

11:10 pm

jillibus

*always looking for stuff stid can eat*

11:10 pm

dcseain

real link sausages work fine, just don't add oil then.

11:11 pm

dcseain

morning, ata! *passes tea* Milk, sugar, and/or honey?

11:11 pm

stidmama

Jill -- remember I can eat most everything. Just the things I can't I really can't.... (sad face). And I am going to move toward being vegan at home, seain -- I feel a lot healthier when I am.

11:11 pm

Ankhorite

(((STIDDY!)))) Jilli! Hi, all! Glad to hear it, Seain.

11:11 pm

jillibus

bored, ata? Where's my Cartlandition? We had a big laugh earlier with jac's and Haz's :D

11:11 pm

Atalante

just milk please! TY!

11:12 pm

Atalante

I'm waiuting for FM to provide something to be made pretty!

11:12 pm

dcseain

1.5lb sausage things, 3-5 lb potatoes, 1.5 large onion, or 1 large onion and 1 bulb garlic, i used about 1.5C parsley, chopped, stid.

11:12 pm

Ankhorite

Just sugar, please, lots of it!

11:12 pm

dcseain

regular sugar or evaporated cane juice?

11:12 pm

Ankhorite

Regular processed bad-for-you sugar, please.

11:12 pm

stidmama

I'd like a little tea with my sugar, if you don't mind...

11:12 pm

fruittart

hi all! I'm off to bed in a few but I'm trying to find ec7 and I stare and stare and should probably just go to bed. Clue, please?

11:12 pm

jillibus

what kind of sausag4e things?

11:13 pm

Ankhorite

and a clue for AL6?

11:13 pm

jillibus

al6 -- nearly

11:13 pm

stidmama

hey fruittart! was it your website I referenced in my post a little bit ago?

11:13 pm

Ankhorite

Today.... we finally put away the last of the christmas wrap. I can see my living room floor again.

11:13 pm

stidmama

ec 7 is a perfect environment

11:13 pm

stidmama

ec + t5

11:13 pm

danf63

ec7 is ec + perfect place ending

11:14 pm

Ankhorite

jilli, thanks, missed that completly, got it now

11:14 pm

stidmama

LOL ankh! sounds like my kind of housekeeping

11:14 pm

fruittart

You linked a hazelnut/chocolate cake, stid

11:14 pm

stidmama

yep! that was it. Still need to try it... *grin*

11:14 pm

Ankhorite

If my sweetpea hadn't done all the work, I would live in a hamster-nest of christmas paper all year long.

11:14 pm

stidmama

I haven't really been grocery shopping in about a month.

11:14 pm

jillibus

ec7 -- most of a tubal pregnancy but a vowel ending

11:14 pm

dcseain

i use MorningStar Farms veggie sausage links, but any link sausage works well jilli. lay sausages to cover bottom of skillet, sprinkle with onion, add water to almost cover, then layer thinly sliced potatoes/salt/pepper/onion-garlic (parsley) until pan full, ending with potato/salt/pepper. cover and cook over med until potatoes cooked. if using veggie sausage, add 1.5Coil to sausage at start.

11:15 pm

Ankhorite

Fruittart, you're looking lovely today (icon)

11:15 pm

fruittart

ty, tye. I can go to bed happy. still have 60 left . . . ;-)

11:15 pm

dcseain

hi, fruittart

11:15 pm

stidmama

good for you fruittart -- 60 isn't bad on a grid like this! *smile* see you again soon.

11:15 pm

Ankhorite

txs again, Jilli, tubal clue

11:16 pm

stidmama

Atalante, I grabbed the camera that was sitting next to me on the bed. You want grim, pleasant or smiling?

11:16 pm

dcseain

g'night fruittart, sleep well

11:16 pm

Atalante

ohhhh smiling muchly!

11:16 pm

fruittart

thanks ank. good night, all!

11:17 pm

Atalante

(and yes, I'm going to do myself too, don't worry!)

11:17 pm

stidmama

Smiling it is -- full size or ???

11:17 pm

Ankhorite

Niters!

11:17 pm

dcseain

g'night ankh, sweet dreams

11:17 pm

Atalante

whatever. I can work with it bwahahahaha

11:17 pm

Ankhorite

Thanks for the ec clue, Dan.

11:17 pm

stidmama

I think I'll crop it, either way. Don't want to show what a total mess my bedside table is

11:17 pm

dcseain

oh, ankh, we're beginning to organise a dc/baltimore babble meet-up :)

11:17 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams Ankh! see you again soon!

11:18 pm

jillibus

dc, I have a super-easy sausage recipe -- 1 cup raw white rice, 1 large can diced tomatoes, 3 stalks celery in 1 inch pieces. Bake at 350F for one and a half hours.

11:18 pm

Ankhorite

Thanks, Seain, but I'll be here a little bit, just saying niters to Tart.

11:18 pm

dcseain

oh, a very simple jambalaya. i used to be known for my jambalaya. sigh.

11:19 pm

dcseain

haven't made it in 16 years. been that long since i ate meat/seafood/fish.

11:19 pm

jillibus

oh, forgot the sausage topping! 12 of them on the top, lol

11:20 pm

jillibus

vegan/veggie cooking is very difficult for longtime carnivores

11:21 pm

jillibus

rather, such meal planning is diffucult

11:21 pm

dcseain

indeed it is, jilli. :) happily, there are tons of wonderful vegetarian sausages nowadays.

11:21 pm

dcseain

and some really good fake chicken stuff too, notably Quorn brand

11:21 pm

Atalante

I have some yummy tomato and mushroom sausages waiting for me for dinner tonight

11:22 pm

jillibus

which doesn't exist here, dc

11:22 pm

stidmama

those sound yummy too Atalante!

11:22 pm

stidmama

no vegan jambalaya seain? surely you can come up with something...

11:23 pm

dcseain

vegan jambalaya. probably could. veggie NP.

11:23 pm

dcseain

yum, ata

11:23 pm

stidmama

okay atalante, sent it from my home email because neither google nor yahoo are very cooperative today

11:23 pm

jillibus

I think I'd better shuddup about cooking, which I don't like, even the old style

11:23 pm

Atalante

woooot! :D

11:24 pm

dcseain

Quorn comes from England, been available in this country for about 6 years now.

11:24 pm

jillibus

anyone need clues?

11:24 pm

stidmama

which is a shame, because people should know you are a passable cook and a great host, Jill

11:24 pm

dcseain

ata is collecting pictures?

11:24 pm

dcseain

not liking to cook is not at all the same as not being able to cook.

11:24 pm

stidmama

Atalante is going to do me up like a British Tammy Faye. There's a whole group of strangely demented folks...

11:25 pm

Atalante

you've only recently had Quorn? Wow

11:25 pm

stidmama

I think Haz and Jacula are leading the charge, though

11:25 pm

Atalante

google Barbara Cartland, dc

11:25 pm

jillibus

the Brit Tammy Faye is Barbara Cartland, noted author <vbg>

11:26 pm

dcseain

oh, yes, i know Barbara Cartland; somehow she's not as frightening as tammy faye, more genial

11:26 pm

stidmama

seain, one of my favorite websites is veganyumyum.com have you been there?

11:26 pm

dcseain

the FDA - Food & Drug Administration delayed Quorn's entry to the US for many years, ata.

11:26 pm

Atalante

princess di's step-granny

11:27 pm

dcseain

yes, saw Haz Cartland LOL

11:27 pm

Atalante

really? wow. I lived on that stuff as a kid

11:27 pm

stidmama

NO! was she really? LOL

11:27 pm

dcseain

no, stid, i'll check it out. do you know 101cookbooks.com?

11:27 pm

dcseain

for real, ata?

11:27 pm

Atalante

yep! her daughter Raine was Di's step-mum

11:27 pm

stidmama

I don't think so, will look at that one too

11:28 pm

stidmama

not sure why, but having a rotten time accessing sites tonight. Now even the places I enter directly in the address bar are failing before they load

11:29 pm

Atalante

close and restart your browser?

11:29 pm

dcseain

and clear your browser cache

11:30 pm

jillibus

Here's Barbara Cartland -- not nearley a vulgar as the poor late Tammy Faye

11:30 pm

stidmama

neat website, seain, havebookmarked it for further perusal

11:30 pm

stidmama

I hadn't thought of that, but the son who uses Linux was also having trouble tonight. And since it isn't all sites I am sure it's not our server at home. *sigh*

11:30 pm

jillibus

"passable cook" -- faint praise indeed for a lot of effort!

11:31 pm

Atalante

oh thats scary then, BC is the height of scariness here. especially the pink obsession

11:31 pm

stidmama

and I clear the cache every time I exit and return

11:31 pm

stidmama

LOL Jill! I wondered if you would pick up on that! You know I ADORE your cooking!

11:32 pm

stidmama

actually, I rather like pink, as you will see from the little bit of my jammies in the picture...

11:32 pm

stidmama

but in a houseful of men-folk, I don't get to make too many pink statements. *grin*

11:32 pm

dcseain

pink makes me look jaundiced - i avoid all but the deepest, dustiest shades of it.

11:33 pm

Atalante

I adore pink. But not in *everything* I possess

11:33 pm

dcseain

i'm all about orange, and brown, and beige, and green, the odd deep red, blue, or purple. i can do most non-pink pastels, too.

11:33 pm

stidmama

yes, you seem more of a purple sort to me...

11:33 pm

stidmama

LOL

11:34 pm

dcseain

i'm wearing a plaid shirt in orange, red, blue, and rgeen right now :)

11:34 pm

dcseain

oh, some yellow in it too.

11:34 pm

stidmama

I stopped wearing pink in my 20s, though I love it. No one would take me seriously, since when I wore it I looked about 12... I just bought a pink shirt last week

11:34 pm

stidmama

A plaid man -- kilts, perhaps?

11:34 pm

woceht

ok i officially give up on this puzzle. what's with all these colours?

11:34 pm

dcseain

one of my coworkers wore a pink shirt today. she and i were the colour in the office today :)

11:35 pm

stidmama

I think though, with the bits of gray in my hair, I can carry pink and not look juvenile

11:35 pm

stidmama

hello woceht

11:35 pm

dcseain

hi, woceth!

11:35 pm

dcseain

indeed so, stid

11:35 pm

stidmama

what a gorgeous fish in your icon!

11:35 pm

Atalante

I gave up pink too, a good few years ago, but now I just don't care and love pink. I have pink shoes.

11:35 pm

woceht

heh. i like black, myself.

11:35 pm

stidmama

I want to get my Tom into a kilt. He has nice knees...

11:36 pm

stidmama

black is a decent color also. But I can't wear it if I am the least bit tired. Makes my eyes are weird.

11:36 pm

dcseain

hm. if red hat with purple dress, then i think a ... pastel blue hat with pink dress

11:36 pm

woceht

really? haven't noticed anyone looking bad in black yet.

11:36 pm

dcseain

there's an outfit in scotland where you can design your own plaid, and have clothing made, stid.

11:37 pm

stidmama

I have VERY pale skin -- even in the summer. I have to be in full health to not look sallow and ... yeah. weird.

11:37 pm

stidmama

I know, seain! I have played with their website off and on for years. I LOVE The "make your own" feature. of course, cost is an issue, but it would be so cool to have a family plaid

11:38 pm

dcseain

it's amazing what varying the threads do, isn't it?

11:38 pm

dcseain

in terms of count and colour, that is.

11:38 pm

stidmama

yes, indeed -- and whether it's a symmetrical plaid or not, too.

11:39 pm

stidmama

It's so much easier than drawing them out by hand on graph paper like I used to. *looks around to see if anyone is bothered by obsessive color/fabric talk*

11:40 pm

Atalante

*not bothered*

11:40 pm

jillibus

is ata still here? This is Tammy Faye

11:40 pm

woceht

my roommate loves fabrics. i haven't quite gotten to the point where i can tell what the differences are yet, unfortunately.

11:40 pm

dcseain

fabric - it was cold enough 2 days this winter for me to use my nice Irish wool sweaters. mostly, it gets not cold enough for them here. :(

11:41 pm

Atalante

oh yes ... thats quite scary!

11:41 pm

jillibus

please -- tartan, not plaid!

11:41 pm

dcseain

the scots i know call it plaid, pronounced as played.

11:41 pm

dcseain

unless they're referring to a specific tartan

11:42 pm

Atalante

Tartan is also known as plaid in North America, but in Scotland this word means a tartan cloth slung over the shoulder or a blanket.

11:43 pm

stidmama

and aren't tartans registered generally? plaid simply means any checkered fabric

11:44 pm

dcseain

indeed so, stid

11:44 pm

dcseain

my friend Elizabeth always complains that Clan Buchan's tartan is hideous, and i agree the old one is pretty awful-looking.

11:45 pm

stidmama

I was working for Ralph Munro when the Washington State tartan arrived in the offices. I got to touch it. The wool was sooooo soft, like a fine flannel. and the colors are really pretty together, too. red for the apples, blue for the waters, a gold color for the wheat, green background of course (we're the evergreen state)...

11:46 pm

jillibus

ok, I stand corrrrected -- plaid for those not entitiled to a tartan. Mine is Murray of Atholl. Naughty nephew refers to it as Murray of Ath-hole

11:46 pm

stidmama

it is gorgeous. That was a long time ago *slips off into reverie*

11:46 pm

stidmama

rofl silly nephew.

11:46 pm

dcseain

heh, that's funny jilli

11:47 pm

dcseain

my state has no tartan, but the Senate of the Commonwealth has a lovely set of arms designed by the Royal College of Arms, which Virginia still recognizes as an offical authority.

11:48 pm

stidmama

right and white for the mountains and black for mt st helens' eruption

11:48 pm

stidmama

are you on the south side of the river seain? why did I think you were towards maryland?

11:48 pm

woceht

hm. at the risk of sounding absolutely ignorant...what is the significance of the tartan?

11:49 pm

Atalante

I love the fact America has state fishes

11:49 pm

woceht

does every state have one>

11:49 pm

jillibus

stid, I seem to remember a NoVa in dc's handle

11:49 pm

stidmama

a tartan identifies you as friend or foe to anyone who knows it. They were like a sort of banner that was worn everywhere

11:49 pm

dcseain

I live in Reston, VA, about 12 minutes from Maryland, and i go to MD a lot for social stuff, and i used to go to a UU church in MD

11:50 pm

stidmama

and usually tartans are for families or clans, not for municipalities

11:50 pm

jillibus

Hi woceht in Singapore -- Scottish clans have special tartans

11:50 pm

stidmama

okay, that is probably where my confusion came from. Maybe. *looking confused*

11:50 pm

dcseain

i live about halfway between the beltaway and white's ferry. i often take the ferry if i'm home and headding to rockville or NW in MD on weekday evenings.

11:50 pm

woceht

i see.

11:50 pm

stidmama

a tartan for most people these days is just a plaid with a name so you can ask for the one that matches your sweater.

11:51 pm

jillibus

We Scots tend to get huffy about fake tartans

11:51 pm

woceht

yea i can see where the whole feudal concept would be a bit outdated.

11:51 pm

woceht

yea i can see where the whole feudal concept would be a bit outdated.

11:51 pm

woceht

so what was that about the washington tartan?

11:51 pm

stidmama

but technically only family members are supposed to wear the family tartan/use the arms/sit on the throne...

11:52 pm

dcseain

The State of Washington comissioned a tartan, one can register a tartan; Scotland has a registry.

11:52 pm

helenkeller

hello babblers! 8 minutes & 107 to go! hmmmmmmmmm

11:52 pm

stidmama

for the washington state centennial in 1989 some people thought it would be fitting, since there are so many here with ancestors from scotland, to get a special tartan

11:52 pm

stidmama

hey helen!

11:52 pm

Atalante

OMG PA has a state cookie

11:52 pm

jillibus

We family tartan wearers also have clan badges and such

11:52 pm

woceht

ah.

11:53 pm

jillibus

LOL ataq!

11:53 pm

helenkeller

hiya stiddy!, ata, jili, all

11:53 pm

chic

Yikes 4 left a clue for at 7 please...

11:53 pm

jillibus

(no q intended there)

11:53 pm

stidmama

we have a state mollusk! the geoduck (gooey-duck) -- a type of clam, and mascot at my alma mater

11:53 pm

woceht

hi helen

11:54 pm

dcseain

maryland has jousting as their state sport :)

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

stidmama

11:54 pm

stidmama

sounds like a perfect place for medieval re-enactors, seain!

11:54 pm

dcseain

they have a state championship each Fall at the Rennasaince Festivale in Crownsville.

11:54 pm

stidmama

snap, as they say!

11:55 pm

jillibus

:)

11:55 pm

stidmama

atalante, did that email reach you/

11:55 pm

nDanLia

but weren't most tartans destroyed when the englisgh originally took over, and all the current ones of more recent vintage?

11:55 pm

jillibus

there are many strange happeneings in the USA. lol!

11:55 pm

since 1990-something, they do not kill the foxes anymore, chase, catch, and release. we used to go to the hunts in The Plains growing up We went to the Middleburg hunt once or twice, too.

red fox barks are one of the most disturbing noises in nature. they keep me up at night sometimes; we have a lot of fox here.

I still think it's mean -- scaring the poor foxes (which are not really a very sympathetic animal if one has chickens or rabbits)
