LoriP

4:16 am

FMitch

Granny Ksrys :)

4:17 am

Karys

It is very exciting, this is my daughter's first baby, and it is different when it's your own daughter !

4:17 am

Karys

This time I'm to be a Nan Mitch !

4:17 am

Haz1558

No wonder your cat is grinning extra hard this morning!

4:18 am

FMitch

lol Haz positively beaming!

4:18 am

sprite

what is the difference between a granny and a nan?

4:18 am

Karys

I should have been on holiday, but we were caught up in this current collapse .

4:18 am

meliae

has anyone used those frozen phylo pastry sheets before? I cooked up some apples and am going to stuff it into the sheets and bake them into turn overs, I am wondring how much they expand when they are cooked

4:18 am

Haz1558

Just the name, sprite. They both come with lashings of love.

4:19 am

Karys

Just the name sprite, I am Grandma to two of my grandsons, and Nan to the others.

4:19 am

sprite

ok, thanks Karys and Haz :)

4:19 am

FMitch

Filo pastry doesn't puff, puff pastry puffs.

4:19 am

meliae

ok fm I wasnt sure thank you

4:20 am

Karys

Right, have to go and purchase the neccessary Nan things for baby now... back later.

4:20 am

meliae

I was just not into making my own so I cheated and got storebought I usually make my own but all that folding and addign butter and rolling out takes so long

4:20 am

Haz1558

See you Karys, and congratulations again.

4:20 am

sprite

enjoy, Karys!

4:20 am

meliae

enjoy Karys so much fun buying baby things

4:21 am

LoriP

Later Nanny Karys. Enjoy!

4:21 am

FMitch

*hides in Karys's wake and heads out before Kori/Lori can grab me.
Back in a while :)

4:22 am

Haz1558

I'm going to be old-fashioned here and declare that I wish babies were dressed as babies and not as cut-down adults. I can't get my head around tiny babies in jeans....

4:22 am

sprite

argh, the Cs are ugly.

4:22 am

LoriP

Darn those Acme made products! Catch ya' later FM. :d

4:22 am

meliae

Haz I agree 100% !!!!

4:22 am

Haz1558

Hooray! I'm not alone!

4:23 am

sprite

Haz, I agree. We never did. Easy fitting things are so much nicer.

4:23 am

LoriP

Add my agreement to the old fogeys club.

4:23 am

meliae

I see those little kids dressed up like little trollops and I want to just take them home and dress them like babies

4:24 am

Haz1558

I see a campaign happening. I'm glad it's not just me.

4:24 am

sprite

let kids be kids. They have to grow up too soon as it is anyway, in this world.

4:24 am

meliae

even the little girls ages around 8 dressed like 16 year olds or worse

4:25 am

spanner

Gotta say it....I blame the images put in front of them...take Bratz characters for instance..

4:25 am

Haz1558

I know. But if the parents didn't buy it, would the shops stock it?

4:25 am

LoriP

I cringe when I walk through a Department store, and look'it what people buy for their "little girls". God.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Bratz - the name says it all. They're grotesque.

4:26 am

LoriP

It's like a sprint to strip them of their childhood.

4:26 am

sprite

Caya had this class mate. Walked on really high heels, in net stockings and low cut blouse at 7 yo. It worried me.

4:26 am

Haz1558

What confuses me is that people are ultra-suspicious of paedophilia, yet dress their children completely inappropriately.

4:26 am

spanner

Yes I agree, but young girls are bombarded with them, theres colouring books dolls cartoons, the list goes on

4:26 am

meliae

oh brats are not allowed in either of my kids house thank goodness for that, but some of the stuff my granddaughters try to wear is shocking, thankkfully my son and son inlaw both have strong morals and do not want their daughters dressing like that

4:27 am

Haz1558

I know, spanner, but parents have to be the grown-ups and say NO.

4:27 am

sprite

nothing wrong with strong morals, imo.

4:27 am

carleekat

good day all

4:27 am

sprite

hi carlee and spanner

4:27 am

spanner

I was astounded when my niece was sent home from school for wearing make up. Astounded cause shes only 7

4:27 am

LoriP

It's called being responsible. But that could never work.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Although, there's a strong rumour that saying NO to children is considered unconstitutional or cruel or something. How I've escaped prison is beyond me.

4:28 am

LoriP

Morning spanner, carlee.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Make up at 7? Good grief.

4:28 am

meliae

well I think the schools should be more critical of how the kids dress as well, we had dress codes when I went to school

4:28 am

spanner

Ha we didnt have all the Human rights laws then Haz..

4:28 am

sprite

saying NO to children is giving them limits, security and love.

4:29 am

carleekat

yeap..my daughter 12.....I let her on SPECIAL dress up occasions to wear lipgloss

4:29 am

Haz1558

Probably just as well, spanner. I'd have been risking my liberty every time I raised my voice.

4:29 am

meliae

I know kids will sneak and change before they get to school if the schools would back up the parents more it would help

4:29 am

Haz1558

meliae - sadly it's often the case that the parents back the children, rather than the school.

4:30 am

sprite

not that bad now, Haz. Our kids are 12 and 10 and we have always limited them where we thought we should.

4:30 am

meliae

if I had to riase a child now days I would be in the slammer for sure, my kids got spankings, and were grounded all that stuff, now days you can go to jail for spanking them

4:30 am

spanner

Teachers are pretty powerless to be frank

4:30 am

spanner

Its one of the reasons I left the job...

4:31 am

sprite

well, we don't spank. But grounding, yes. And rules are rules.

4:31 am

LoriP

Parents are all too willing to give their little darlin's an out. A great disservice.

4:31 am

meliae

well its not the teachers that set the rules its the school board

4:31 am

Haz1558

They're powerless because (a) lots of parents don't back them up and (b) the government has removed any effective deterrent or punishment.

4:31 am

LoriP

Last year, the Supreme Court reaffirmed our right to spank meliaie.

4:31 am

sprite

parents and teachers must work together. We do and we are very happy with the schools we chose for our children.

4:32 am

meliae

well my spanking consisted of a little swat on the butt, and my daughter never got one all I had to do was look at her and I she would dissolve into tears, if she had been bad

4:32 am

spanner

true Haz, but I worked in real tough schools, and it made a hard job impossible, especially when there was no parental involvement

4:32 am

meliae

my son well he had his fair share of swats LOL

4:32 am

LoriP

A swat on the butt never hurt anyone. Nothing like a good spanking argument to liven things up though! :p

4:33 am

meliae

yep it takes the backing of the parents

4:33 am

Haz1558

It must have been incredibly difficult, spanner and so frustrating when all that potential is just wasted.

4:33 am

LoriP

Is your son duly traumatized and damaged for life meliae?

4:33 am

loredana

hello Babblers

4:33 am

spanner

Ive just remembered why I love this game ...its the company I keep LOL

4:33 am

loredana

Mel have you not finished yet

4:34 am

loredana

cant beat yours sprite

4:34 am

Haz1558

We spanked our girls if the occasion arose, but it wasn't an everyday occurrence and it wasn't the only method of punishment. They seem to have survived.

4:34 am

sprite

:) She is beautiful,isn't she, lobo

4:34 am

loredana

got all the reticulation up and running planted vegies and got the washing in

4:35 am

loredana

4:35 am

sprite

wow, great going, lobo. I have installed my little girl on the co5, got her breakfast and lots of cuddles, and am about to finish the grid. Not as productive as you are!

4:35 am

spanner

My all survived the odd swat too....and believe it or not are all well adjusted citizens!!!

4:36 am

sprite

she emailed me, lobo. It hit home and I am glad.

4:36 am

LoriP

Shirley not spanner!

4:36 am

Haz1558

Well, that's the cat set amongst the pigeons again (babies should be dressed as babies started it) but I really should be getting on with (hide your eyes Kori/Lori) the housework. Back later!

4:36 am

spanner

Yup...but its difficult to believe

4:37 am

sprite

bye Haz, good luck with those.

4:37 am

LoriP

That h word, it burns mine eyes. Laters Haz.

4:37 am

meliae

4:40 am

sprite

lobo: not okay yet, still so tired. But eyes are more clear and she looks less like a raccoon now. It will take time, i think. Tomorrow or wednesday test result of the mono. Don't think that is it, I think it is another virus. The one Walter got. And many others.

4:40 am

LoriP

Glad to be seen lore. :-) Nice to see you too.

4:41 am

loredana

hurshy

hi annie, i went to turn in my timecard

hurshy

*thinks about elaines*

8:29 am

hurshy

i dunno, i can't think of any elaines

hurshy

i can think of characters named elaine, but not so much actresses

8:30 am

Anniebrook

I was spelling her name as strich but I think it is stritch

8:30 am

1j2u3d4y

Hi everyone - I am curious. How much time per day do each of you spend here? No condemnation - I am on the computer almost all day - off and on - just curious if anyone is as SLOW as I am.

8:33 am

Anniebrook

1j2u, I spend most of the morning here plodding along

8:34 am

1j2u3d4y

I just bought a laptop and have it near my laundry room and plan on spending most of the morning ... plodding along too!

8:34 am

CadFan

Hi everyone! I rarely finish a puzzle - keep the page on all day at work and pop in and out as I have a minute.

8:35 am

1j2u3d4y

If I EVER finished a board I would probably hand a banner outside my house

8:36 am

FMitch

lol judy

8:36 am

BzznBea

Today's puzzle seems a bit difficult.

8:37 am

fuquayvarina

I find I can usually finish with the list, but haven't yet done it without.

8:37 am

Anniebrook

I dont use the list so I rarely finish

8:37 am

FMitch

Its not too bad today but the ch's were hellish

8:37 am

fuquayvarina

hi Bea -- I think so, especially now I've got the easy ones out of the way

ok, so i'm kind of dumb. pass the fish.

8:47 am

hurshy

then there is a combo, the singular is an anagram of the ch5 singing group

8:47 am

BzznBea

That's the one I've got.

8:48 am

BerniceQ

can't believe afro isn't a word...

8:51 am

Hey, haz.

8:51 am

FMitch

Hello Haz

8:51 am

Boobear

hi all

8:51 am

hurshy

ocean ocean ocean ocean

8:52 am

Haz1558

Hello there. Afro isn't a word because it's capitalised.

8:52 am

fuquayvarina

well, sure, but so are tons of other words that show up in enable...

8:53 am

westford

good morning/afternoon everyone

8:53 am

BerniceQ

is afro capitalized when it means the haircut?

8:53 am

fuquayvarina

for example the french capital that's in the puzzle today

8:53 am

Boobear

hi westford

8:53 am

Haz1558

But they're not accepted in babble if they're capitalised.

8:53 am

fuquayvarina

theoretically...

8:53 am

BzznBea

Finally got the nine that was clued 20 minutes aga. <sigh>

8:55 am

FMitch

and for anyone who hasnt got the th8 8 9 study varina's last post!

8:55 am

Haz1558

The French capital appears, I think, because of its association with plaster, when it isn't capitalised. I could be wrong, but don't tell my daughters. I've trained them to believe that I'm always right.

8:55 am

harpjane

oh, did i remember to say hello?

8:55 am

BzznBea

Hey, harp.

8:55 am

FMitch

Hi harp :)

8:55 am

BerniceQ

right, haz, and when afro means the hair, it's not capitalized.

8:56 am

harpjane

how many letters is the lone h?

8:56 am

westford

hi boo and harp

8:56 am

8:57 am

Haz1558

Even referring to the hairstyle.

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

8:58 am

harpjane

oooh a recipe? for what?

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

yw ;-)

8:58 am

BerniceQ

my dictionary said both are acceptable, capitalized and not

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

sweet and sour sauce

8:58 am

Haz1558

I concede, but babble doesn't.

8:58 am

hurshy

my dictionary mocked me for asking

8:59 am

BerniceQ

yes, i know that there's no convincing enable.

8:59 am

FMitch

and cherry sauce, and apple and cranberry sauce yum!

9:00 am

FMitch

not that I copied and pasted the recipes to a file of course!

9:12 am

No - one is to do with cutting out surgically, the others are kind of pleading or encouraging words.

9:13 am

Haz1558

ex6/36 - to cut out, ex6/36 - to encourage, plead with, ex7, encourages in a speechmaking kind of way.

9:32 am

FMitch

LOL! thank goodness Haz didn't see me being so unladylike!

9:33 am

Right, because Haz's world would crumble if she realized that you could possibly be unladylike.

9:33 am

Hello, Haz! You show that internet who's boss!

9:50 am

Vicuna

Hello, pugmama, reparteena, harpjane, flosey...

9:50 am

Haz1558

Absolutely!

9:50 am

Haz1558

Although I'm seeing that being offline preserved me from seeing FMitch being unladylike.

9:50 am

reparteena

jey vicuna

9:51 am

Vicuna

Indeed. Your computer was operating for your own protection.

9:51 am

Haz1558

So it seems. I feel bad about kicking it now.

9:51 am

AsGreen

I said hello, then my phone rang....sorry

9:52 am

Vicuna

Some things are just too horrifying for a lady of such refinement and delicate breeding as yourself. It is best if you are not exposed to such horrors at all.

9:52 am

Haz1558

I'm writing this down so that I can use it on my CV. Refinement and delicate breeding.... You know me so well!

9:53 am

Vicuna

AsGreen, you're supposed to wait for your phone to ring, THEN pick it up, and THEN say hello. Seems like you're a little confused about the order there.

9:53 am

AsGreen

lol Vic...

9:54 am

Vicuna

Well, it takes a true lady to know one, Haz.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Birds of a feather flock together and all that?

9:54 am

MonkeyGames

Hey folks. Just on for a couple minutes to unwind after work. Phantom: excoriate

9:55 am

Exactly. And some of them are on our heads.

9:55 am

hi MG!

9:55 am

My phantoms today are tourists and choristers.

And some of us have two heads, all the better for the wearing of birds.

9:55 am

Vicuna

Hello, MonkeyGames.

9:56 am

Vicuna

Good point. We forgot to suggest to FM that she might accomodate an extra fowl!

9:56 am

MonkeyGames

And chariot.

9:56 am

AsGreen

I think hoho should be a word...

9:57 am

Haz1558

Start it with a c instead, As.

9:57 am

MonkeyGames

Have a Pretty Upset Boy here. He is trying to understand why his very good friend, our dog, would chew up his prized orange-plastic-lid-for=something-no-lo
nger-with-us. Sigh.

9:57 am

AsGreen

lol - thanks haz!

9:58 am

MonkeyGames

Then add three letters for a 6.

9:58 am

Vicuna

Sounds like the dog loved not wisely but too well.

9:58 am

MonkeyGames

Hee, hee! I don't think I can use that to make him feel better...

9:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - keep going to get a Roman division of soldiers and plural.

9:58 am

Vicuna

(checks MG's math: 2 letters for a 6, 3 letters for a 7.)

9:59 am

MonkeyGames

He has said that he is no longer mad at her, just unghappy about the lid and wondering why there can be such injustice in the world.

9:59 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, two. Sorry. My math sucks.

10:00 am

Vicuna

Tell him that a provident creation assures us that there will be other lids.

10:01 am

MonkeyGames

I have indeed imparted similar knowledge. Adn reminded him that old scuffed plastic lids pale in comparison to Birthday Presents, which shall appear as from nowhere on Thursday.

10:02 am

MonkeyGames

And shall appear as from party guests on Saturday.

10:02 am

AsGreen

ok, FINALLY off the phone

10:02 am

AsGreen

what a day - wall street collapsing.... I live in a BIG wall street town

10:02 am

MonkeyGames

These two days bracketing his first day of school. Can't blame the little guy for being a bit emotionally kwetsbaar right now.

10:03 am

Vicuna

Let us hope that time and birthday gifts will blunt the edges of his grief.

10:03 am

Haz1558

It's scary, As, especially when I don't understand the half of what is going on.

10:03 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: parsec

10:04 am

Vicuna

The scariest part, Haz, is that neither do any of the experts and professionals involved!

10:04 am

MonkeyGames

Looks like the Backyardigans is already easing his pain.

10:04 am

pugmama763

this grid is crawling with ohantoms

10:05 am

Haz1558

That should make me feel better, Vicuna, but it doesn't.

10:05 am

AsGreen

Haz - it's a DARK day here in Summit, NJ - and interesting (similar to 9/11) it's a BEAUTIFUL day here - not to say that loss of work is as bad as loss of life, but very similar pall around my neighborhood

10:05 am

westford

hi monkey what is upsetting Walter?

10:05 am

AsGreen

west - hi - hmmmm, I have a message for you .... what was that again?

10:05 am

MonkeyGames

Saskia chewed up his plastic lid to something no longer with us.

10:05 am

Haz1558

I know, As. What appears to me as economic theory becomes economic reality for millions.

10:06 am

westford

oh dear his favorite?

10:06 am

AsGreen

oh, yeah, Jac has a cranberry recipe for you... in her profile, leaving it "on" even though not here

10:06 am

Vicuna

Well, folks, time for me to wander off in the aimless and unenthusiastic direction of housework or something. Bye for now!

10:06 am

Haz1558

phaeton, because it's capitalised, possibly.

10:06 am

AsGreen

bye Vic - hagd!

10:07 am

bye vi try to find fun and joy

10:07 am

could I please have a clue for as7?

10:07 am

MonkeyGames

Still think we should do a poetry-with-the-phantoms contest.

10:07 am

pugmama763

bye vic

10:07 am

Haz1558

Unenthusiastic about housework? How can this be?

10:07 am

AsGreen

there's an as? lol

10:07 am

MonkeyGames

West, it was one he found at the bottom a toy chest the other day and remembered was truly glorious.

10:07 am

AsGreen

isn't astro a word?

10:07 am

MonkeyGames

It was orange; that is the key to liking an object.

10:07 am

Haz1558

as7 - free from germs

10:08 am

phaeton

afro isn't capitalized when ever i use it and it's in crossword puzzles

10:08 am

westford

and the dog ate it?

10:08 am

flosey

thanks Haz

10:08 am

Haz1558

phaeton - we've had this debate before. Afro- referring to African is capitalised mostly and it must be so in enable, therefore babble won't take it.

10:09 am

AsGreen

oooh, got the as, and the se from that - tx haz

10:09 am

AsGreen

haz, btw, I just got back from boot camp

10:09 am

Haz1558

When I say had the debate before, it was earlier in the chat log with others, not with you.

10:09 am

MonkeyGames

To bits. She was alone all day. I thought I dog-proofed well enough, but it seems not. Good lesson in putting toys away, and not as bad as when Dora and Diego both lost their legs... he'll forget all about it when the birthday presents come out Thursday.

10:09 am

Haz1558

Good girl, As. I feel toned - all thanks to you!

10:10 am

AsGreen

Haz, we're really tightening up... :)

10:10 am

westford

since it was at the bottom of the toybox he must have been saving it for a special day

10:10 am

Haz1558

It's great. I can recommend this exercise by proxy. No sweat or anything.

10:10 am

MonkeyGames

So it would seem.

10:10 am

AsGreen

west - did you see my message from Jac?

10:11 am

westford

no as but une told me she put her recipe in

10:11 am

MonkeyGames

OK, must off to clean the entryway, relent to the cat's demands, and get water heating for the pierogis! Have fun all, back with you sporadically!

10:11 am

westford

I keep going in and out even had a message to contact Dr god

10:12 am

pugmama763

enjoy MG

10:12 am

westford

bye monkey better go shopping for a replacement orange lid too

10:12 am

AsGreen

oh, well, that was the message!

10:12 am

AsGreen

mmmmm, pierogis....

10:12 am

westford

can I get to her bio if she's not here?

10:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, westford. Go to rankings, do control F to find her and her profile should show up.

10:13 am

AsGreen

y, she said she was leaving herself "on" - so look in the who's online tab and click on her bio

10:26 am

Haz1558

Just like a cat, westford. They're fussy creatures, aren't they?

10:26 am

pugmama763

maybe if you mix the fish oil into it she will like it?

10:27 am

westford

they know what they like and it is usually what we don't have

10:27 am

Haz1558

Or maybe a little caviar? Wouldn't that be the limit!

10:28 am

10:50 am

periwinkle

10:52 am

rururocks

I think I prefer clues like you do them haz.. you have to think to get them...hatespoonfeeding in general..

10:52 am

Haz1558

10:53 am

10:53 am

rururocks

fortunately when the clues are flying like that I already have those words in general

10:53 am

Haz1558

Thanks, ruru. I've come to the conclusion that you can't please everyone with clues, so just stick to your own style, providing more help if necessary but falling short of the hoops and snakes.

10:54 am

periwinkle

what time, TO

10:54 am

BNLboy

Hello everybody, I'm back from my long weekend and my friend is now married. I believe I'm still hung over, I accumulated $86 of charges to my debit card at taco bell and don't remember going there.

10:56 am

periwinkle

ok, may be you could pick me up, TO, we could meet at Target again if that is easier for you

10:56 am

Haz1558

How can it be a good time if you can't remember it? Or is it taken as read that it was great if it's a blank in the memory?

10:56 am

Haz1558

I feel your pain, pugmama.

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

peri i am either taking pub trans or carpooling.

11:02 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

He sounds fun. Is the hair curly or not?

11:07 am

Denny

11:07 am

MonkeyGames

Walter has forgiven Saskia and is over the loss of his orange plastic lid...

11:08 am

6:47 pm

Mom

Nut, do you have electric?

6:49 pm

evanonut

6:49 pm

Mom

Stid, this is unheard of for us. But Ike didn't lose his punch like most hurricanes do before they get up to us. We usually get the rain but only the wind this time

7:01 pm

evanonut

7:01 pm

stidmama

because I am a sad, lonely person who was housebound until a couple years ago and played endless wordgames 10 hours a day... and still doesn't even compare to folks like dart and sprite and ... LOL

7:01 pm

Mom

I doubt that Nut.

7:02 pm

Mom

lol Stid, well I am glad you are not housebound anymore

7:02 pm

evanonut

positive mom...imagine how they all have their own big messes...only my being atop a hill makes it a little messier

7:02 pm

evanonut

i dunno mom...we got to see more of her when housebound....but i GUESS for stids sake

7:02 pm

stidmama

me too Mom! I spent FOUR hours today in middle school, one in 8th grade, one in 7th grade and 2 in sixth grade and it was wonderful.

7:02 pm

Mom

and I wouldn't think of you as sad or lonely

7:02 pm

Mom

lol Nut

7:03 pm

stidmama

7:42 pm

Credit needs to be reined in.... and those in danger of defaulting on their cards ought to be able to arrange payment with suspension/decrease in interest payments...

7:42 pm

lbdawger

greedy get greedier, and take bigger risks, and sometimes those risks fail. well they failed big time!

7:42 pm

pam

Will you be going there, red?

7:42 pm

evanonut

ceo salaries and bonuses are a root of the problem

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

I really think people just need basic education regarding credit cards.

7:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's the down side of capitalism. but not to worry, with govt bailing out everyone, we're well on the way to socialism.

i think since the gap between the rich and poor is the greatest its been since the great depression, this means something needs to be fixed. too much attention is being paid to growing profits which don't benefit the worker, and the worker is the one who pours money back into the american market.

7:46 pm

I really do feel like people should be able to be responsible to themselves regarding credit cards, I think the balances carried by people are insane. and the things they bought, were usually not groceries.

7:48 pm

madi you know you'll do fine... don't stress over those things

7:52 pm

jillibus

before credit cards, we did without if we couldn't pay. I ALWAYS pay up every month and NEVER pile up a debt -- the interest rates are robbery/usurious. It's just a convenience so I don't have to carry a pile of cash. Nuff sed -- must go.

7:52 pm

pam

yes, red. i am. my name is pam and i am an addict. i like college and pro ball and have been known to go to local high school games in my younger days...

9:03 pm

Jacula

Any clues needed in the meantime?

9:03 pm

torgone

9:04 pm

Jacula

Hi Min!

9:06 pm

torgone

Hello Minveryork! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:06 pm

Jacula

y/w, Torg. How did I guess?

9:08 pm

Minveryork

Phantom words today are exist, patriot and practice

9:09 pm

torgone

I forget those wacky Brit spellings sometimes ..

9:09 pm

Jacula

One of my phantoms was patriot. I can't remember what the othet 4 were.

9:10 pm

Jacula

Well, wacky or not, favourite and favourites SHOULD have been allowed in Sunday's grid. Favour was.

9:11 pm

MetFan

'Scuse me, Jacula, but it was after Jesus was denied th**** by Peter, after being betrayed by Judas, that the cock crowed (Matthew 26)

9:12 pm

Jacula

I stand corrected.Met. You are right.

9:12 pm

BzznBea

Hey all. Here to clue if needed...

9:13 pm

Jacula

Hi Bzz.Me, too.

9:13 pm

BzznBea

I'm getting my cookie recipe in for tomorrow.

9:14 pm

Jacula

What recipe is that then?

9:14 pm

Jacula

I'm a recipe junkie and have a few in my bio now, plus a holiday report.

9:15 pm

BzznBea

Favorite (or favourite) cookie recipe is the theme tomorrow.

9:15 pm

BzznBea

I'm a recipe junkie too. I am beside myself because since our move last year, I can not find my recipe box my grandma gave me.

9:21 pm

torgone

What colour is it?

9:22 pm

gwenski

May I have a clue for as7, please?

9:22 pm

Jacula

I can understand that, BZZ.

9:22 pm

BzznBea

Turquoise on the bottom with a white lid.

9:22 pm

Jacula

a _ what a wound goes when it goes bad, gwen.

9:23 pm

BzznBea

as7 - Some people use a s***** tank instead of a sewer

9:23 pm

gwenski

Thanks again. 20 left, but bedtime is calling.

9:23 pm

BzznBea

Have you seen it Tor?

9:23 pm

torgone

I was trying to be humourous ..

9:24 pm

Jacula

Going to be with only 20 left is not an option! LOL

9:24 pm

BzznBea

LOL! I know.

9:24 pm

torgone

Perhaps you didn't realise it ..

9:24 pm

Jacula

Torg - I think BZz was, also.

9:25 pm

torgone

Maybe it's in the parlour ..

9:25 pm

BzznBea

Not only is it the box I'm missing, but some of my favorite recipes she used to make for me. =(

9:26 pm

Jacula

Oh dear! Sarcasm doesn't always work, because it's such a personal thing really, is it not?

9:26 pm

BzznBea

It's not in the parlor, or the billiards room or the conservatory...

9:27 pm

Jacula

BZZ - I wasn't being sarcastic about the loss of recipesd, btw.

9:27 pm

Jacula

Maybe it's in the cellar?

9:27 pm

BzznBea

i know, Jac.

9:27 pm

Jacula

r under a rockon the gravelled drive?

9:28 pm

torgone

Perhaps in the garden?

9:28 pm

torgone

Maybe it fell be hind the cooker ..

9:28 pm

kje

are those snickerdoodles, bzzz?

9:28 pm

BzznBea

It better be in one of the boxes marked "kitchen" in the upstairs bedroom/storage room.

9:29 pm

Jacula

I had to pu some stuff into storage after a house flood some years ago. I'm stil missing stuff since then.

9:29 pm

BzznBea

Why,yes they are, kje?

9:29 pm

kje

they look good

9:29 pm

kje

: )

9:29 pm

BzznBea

I'm working on the recipe now.

9:29 pm

torgone

Mmmm . . snickerdoodles . .

9:29 pm

kje

sorry to hear about your recipe box - I would be upset

9:30 pm

BzznBea

See, everyone loves snickerdoodles. But no one makes them any more.

9:30 pm

Jacula

Behind the cooker is another world. Someone should write a novel about it. Enter Mr. Partchett.

9:30 pm

Jacula

Prachett, I meant. He had Alzheimer's now, but is stioll fighting it.

9:31 pm

BzznBea

Thanks, kje. It has to be here somewhere.

9:31 pm

kje

my grandmother gave me her embroidery box before she died... had several little pieces she had made in it and some verses she had written to go with the pieces as gifts.... I lost that during a move somehow and was quite bummed

9:31 pm

Jacula

Sorry for bad spelling, it's 3.30am ere and I'm getting tired again.

9:32 pm

BzznBea

No prob Jac.

9:32 pm

BzznBea

Why aren't you in bed?

9:32 pm

JBV

how interesting that I just popped in for these stories of lost heirlooms- I lost a beautiful ivory and silver box - part of a dresser set - the only thing I had from my grandfather - also lost in a move!

9:32 pm

Jacula

I dare not say what I think about what storage comapnies might do now.

9:33 pm

Jacula

I'm not in bed because I am awake, Bzz.

9:33 pm

BzznBea

LOL! Good answer, Jac.

9:33 pm

kje

bummer jbv - moving seems to be dangerous...

9:34 pm

BzznBea

JBV, did someone a company pack and move you/

9:34 pm

Jacula

I went to bed earlier and had a very lovely bed experience, ut that woke me up again. LOL

9:34 pm

kje

getting sleepy... so off to bed (and it's only 930 here jac!)

9:35 pm

torgone

=0

9:35 pm

Jacula

Men go to sleep and women are enlivened. No wonder the fotball coaches rule no sex before a gane. LOL

9:36 pm

JBV

no, unfortunately, BzznBea, I did it all myself - I wrapped fragile items in newspaper and I think it was tossed accidentally in an "empty" box after we unpacked

9:36 pm

BzznBea

While I was whining and fussing about not being able to find my recipe box, while looking through the fifteen boxes lef tin the storage room...

9:36 pm

Jacula

kje, sleep well. I sometimes go to sleep myself at that time.

9:36 pm

harpjane

hello i

9:36 pm

BzznBea

My husband came in and said, "maybe you should pack better next time."

9:36 pm

harpjane

i'm back for my last 43

9:37 pm

BzznBea

Hey, harp.

9:37 pm

Jacula

Hi Harp.

9:37 pm

JBV

oh, that's not very helpful, BzznBea - I reproach myself enough, I certainly wouldn't want someone else criticizing me

9:37 pm

harpjane

your husband sounds like an arm chair quarterback!

9:38 pm

BzznBea

I told him next time he has me pack to move half way across the country, it better be to a house that has a kitchen, so I can unpack it right away.

9:39 pm

harpjane

I'd tell him, "here's the take-out menu!"

9:39 pm

JBV

we recently redid our upstairs bathroom, and of course everything had to be removed during the work, boxed up, etc. - it's now a year later and I can't believe there are still things that are missing - how can things get lost without ever leaving the house? it's a mystery -

9:39 pm

BzznBea

Actually, he said it to make me laugh.

9:40 pm

BzznBea

It is the strangest thing, JBV.

9:41 pm

torgone

I lose things just walking room to room ..

9:41 pm

JBV

know exactly what you mean, torgone :)

9:42 pm

harpjane

yep i would have laughed

9:43 pm

JBV

have you heard about this movement - or philosophy, whatever - about paring your life down to 100 essential items? must say there is something appealing about it - for example, how many towels, dishes, shoes, etc. do we really need? if we all had fewer things, we wouldn't be losing them, I guess

9:43 pm

mkg

hi all. 94 left.

9:43 pm

mkg

need ap 5 word clue plz.

9:44 pm

JBV

ap 5 - add sibling, not bro

9:44 pm

Jacula

Doing a total house clear out as we are, after daughter leaving home, anf attic stuff to be sorted too, we are hoping to find lost stuff along the wa.

9:44 pm

torgone

I would love to simplify ..

9:44 pm

harpjane

we went through that in real life in 2000 when we had catastrophic forest fires. most of the evacuees (note i said MOST) had time to think about what they would take, knowing that anything left behind might be destroyed

9:45 pm

harpjane

recipe boxes were right up there on most people's lists

9:45 pm

BzznBea

I've thought about something like that, JBV. But it would take me a lifetime to decide which 100 things are the most important.

9:45 pm

JBV

how excruciating, harp

9:46 pm

harpjane

well, i was not personally impacted, other than the chaos of living in are area where so many people were homeless,

9:46 pm

Jacula

As for the how much do we need thing - far less than we imagine I would say after liviing minimally after 4 house floods and through 3 major builder expaniong house thingeys.

9:46 pm

JBV

true, Bea :)

9:46 pm

BzznBea

Why do you think recipe boxes are so important?

9:46 pm

JBV

well, Jac, you could give us all much needed advice on discarding the excess we live with

9:46 pm

mkg

ty got ap word.

9:47 pm

harpjane

people were allowed to bring pets, kids, etc. to the office, and they started bringin in things they wanted to protect

9:47 pm

mkg

ar 5 10 last one please?

9:47 pm

JBV

the recipes represent family traditions, so very sentimental I imagine

9:47 pm

harpjane

so one office in our building had an antique pink couch, another had a grandfather clock

9:47 pm

Jacula

Food that comfortd from the past is v. importany.

9:47 pm

JBV

ar 5 = add same sibling

9:47 pm

harpjane

and grandma's recipes can't be replaced

9:48 pm

mkg

ty got it jbv.

9:48 pm

harpjane

my photos are such a mess i might leave them behind on purpose! it would save me years of cataloging

9:48 pm

mkg

as 7 please?

9:48 pm

harpjane

we had a minor flood and it was amazing how uninteresting your treasures become when they are soaking wet and/or moldy....

9:48 pm

Jacula

LOL, Harp. Make sure they are saved tto disc.

9:48 pm

BzznBea

Grandma's button box can not be replaced wither.

9:49 pm

harpjane

infectious, mkg (i think)

9:49 pm

BzznBea

*either

9:49 pm

Jacula

as7 = a + what a wound does when it goes bad.

9:49 pm

JBV

and I also think that if something has survived the generations and is in my possession, I am obliged to be the caretaker and not let it die under my watch

9:49 pm

autumn moon

hullo everyone. How are y'all today? should I start this grid?

9:49 pm

harpjane

most people assume i would save my instruments, but actually it's the MUSIC that would be hard to replace

9:49 pm

JBV

I have a great button box, BzznBea - my mother was a dressmaker, had a beautiful collection

9:49 pm

harpjane

it's not too bad moon, you can do it in 2 hours

9:50 pm

mkg

ty got it.

9:51 pm

harpjane

i just looked it up, it means the exact opposite of what i thought it meant....

9:51 pm

Jacula

Harp - there will always be someone else with an instrumenrt, but can they make the exact music that youy make?

9:51 pm

autumn moon

'kay. will focus for a little while and come back to chog when stuck....

9:52 pm

BzznBea

My grandma would go to thrift shops with measuring tape in hand. She would find a dress made with material she liked. This was back when skirts were full

9:52 pm

autumn moon

ha ha bea - my daughter does that now.

9:52 pm

harpjane

that's exactly my thought, jac. replacing a couple of harps and a piano, that are insured, will take some time, and a couple of phone calls. But replacing three file cabinets full of music would involve THOUSANDS of phone calls

9:52 pm

Jacula

I used to do that, too, Bz, back in the 70s and 80s.

9:53 pm

harpjane

besides, if i'm homeless what in the hell am i going to do with a bunch of fragile wooden instruments?

9:53 pm

BzznBea

Early 60's. She would whip out that tape measure, measure the fabric in the skirt and if it was enough, she would takeit home, tear it apart...

9:53 pm

harpjane

maybe i'd take one, so i had something to play...

9:53 pm

harpjane

by the late 60's there was just barely enough fabric in a skirt to make a bikini!

9:54 pm

BzznBea

Remove the buttons and string them together, then throw them in her button box.

9:54 pm

Jacula

So, Harp, youh have to get ty[ing to get all of that saved on disc on or one of those new but marvellous memory sticks.

9:54 pm

harpjane

um, would that involve knowing how to use a scanner or a camera?

9:54 pm

BzznBea

The she would take the fabric and make me a new dress or jumper.

9:55 pm

Jacula

No, Harp. Just type and save to 'word' for now.

9:55 pm

Jacula

After that, Harp, contact me for how to save it off computer.

9:56 pm

harpjane

um, y ou can't really do that with MUSIC, needs finale or something, .... i don't even have a good list of my music so I couldn't even tell the insurance company what i have lost.....

9:56 pm

JBV

good night everyone, nice chatting with you, see you tomorrow

9:56 pm

BzznBea

Night, JBV.

9:56 pm

Jacula

Time you started cateloguing your music collection, Harp.

9:57 pm

BzznBea

Harp, do you know what cheese straws are?

9:57 pm

harpjane

one interesting thing we learned in our minor flood, if you have wet things and can't dry them all out (like if all your important papers are soaker) you can FREEZE them and dry them out over time....

9:57 pm

harpjane

cheese straws? i guess not

9:57 pm

mkg

is pa 8 two words? or if not clue plz?

9:57 pm

harpjane

(*important papers are soaked)*

9:58 pm

BzznBea

Just an informal survey. I think they are a southern thing.

9:58 pm

Jacula

My life finale is Freebird by Lyn Skyn, preferabl;y not the version with all the young girls hanging. i prefer just the music and my imagination/

9:59 pm

BzznBea

PA8 is not a compund word.

9:59 pm

Jacula

No pe6. It's pe8.

9:59 pm

Jacula

pa8, I meant. Sorry.

10:00 pm

harpjane

10:00 pm

torgone

Don't apologise ..

10:01 pm

wow tough grid tonight.

10:01 pm

harpjane

for some unknown reason i was listening to the yardbirds today

10:01 pm

Jacula

mkg, beign an 'artistic' type, this word was easy for me. pa** (not the present time) plus German for 'I' + a vowel.

10:01 pm

torgone

Great group ..

10:02 pm

Uneaixoise

loooove cheesestraws!

I grew up on Louisiana cheesestraws . . . yum

10:04 pm

BzznBea

Are they really spicy?

10:04 pm

Uneaixoise

ex6/26 to remove

10:05 pm

harpjane

ex, 6 & 7, to encourage in a way that's embarassing

10:05 pm

Uneaixoise

you can make them spicy if you want . . . my aunt made them with cayenne pepper

10:05 pm

Jacula

ex (1st|) is to cut pout sutgically.

10:05 pm

BzznBea

Yes, all the recipes I have seen use cayenne.

10:05 pm

harpjane

i had basmati rice, tandoori chicken, rolled up in a jalapeno pepper for dinner

10:06 pm

Uneaixoise

the secret is to use real butter and extra sharp cheddar

10:06 pm

mkg

cut pout sutgically??????do i know those words?

10:06 pm

Jacula

ex6 and 7 are to advise or caution in an urgent way.

10:06 pm

harpjane

it was "what we had" in the fridge, and it was excellent!
