3:39 am

rolin

ty mitch... i can go to the washing happy..lol..bbl

3:40 am

Atalante

washing? happy?

3:40 am

MonkeyGames

Hee, hee. Just unwinding for a minute after the trip to the woods with dog and boy.

3:40 am

sprite

some people, Ata, some people....

3:41 am

sprite

did you have fun, MonkeyG?

3:42 am

MonkeyGames

Yup, except when Walter bumped a stinging nettle-- but he was brave and got over it. Saskia got to play with a one-year-old boxer and her best friend Django the husky mix. Walter basically just ran, except for tree stump climbing breaks.

3:43 am

sprite

great to hear he is running all the time again! So, a happy child and a happy dog... and how is mum? How is the back, for instance?

3:44 am

MonkeyGames

Back sucks. I just made my last physio appointment. I got my doctor and physio on the case to try to tie this into the tendinitis that has gone ignored for years... we'll see. The doctor gave me a blood test to look for tendinitis of THAT type. They're going to discuss things. Further OK though, except a tad stressed about school.

3:45 am

MonkeyGames

If they can make that tie-in and call it chronic the insurance has to pay.

3:46 am

sprite

really hope that works out, you need the treatments. As for school: one thing at a time, MonkeyG. And call me if you need to vent and yell and tell someone it is never ever going to work without any consequences, lol. I know you will make it.

3:47 am

MonkeyGames

Thnk you! Yeah, we'll get through it! My BIG stress is the bakfiets. It will die soon, and die completely. After that I will be without transport to get Walter to school. Can't even a fford a second-hand one right now.

3:48 am

sprite

isn't there someone who can borrow you a bike for a while?

3:48 am

FMitch

9 left, this is a much nicer grid than it first looks. Time to take a break and head on out. Happy Babbling.

3:48 am

Atalante

lend you a bike :P

3:48 am

sprite

FM, have a grand day and hope to see you later!

3:49 am

MonkeyGames

Not that I have yet found. I do have aregular bike but couldn't get my school stuff anywhere or do any shopping that way... and can't afford to fix it up right now either.

3:49 am

MonkeyGames

Bye FM!

3:49 am

sprite

yay! Mixing them up again, aren't I! Lend you a bike, so you can borrow it. Correct?

3:49 am

Atalante

yep :D

3:49 am

Atalante

bye FM!

3:50 am

MonkeyGames

Found a GREAT bakfiets on Marktplaats for 275 Euros; 50 years old and thus built to last. But can't even spend that. Sigh. All will somehow work out, though-- it always does. Know anyone who wants to buy portraits, baby blankets, or pinatas?

3:50 am

MonkeyGames

Correct usage there, Sprite.

3:50 am

sprite

there are very good and very lowprices bike bags like the ones I have on mine. They take loads of stuff. And a simple backsupport would be enough to keep MonkeyMan safe.

3:50 am

MonkeyGames

Folks, lend and borrow are the same word in Dutch.

3:51 am

MonkeyGames

I have a good child seat. Still not very secure feeling on a bike though-- didn't grow up on one like folks here But yeah, I can find a way to manage. But a bakfiets has become my mainstay.

3:51 am

sprite

yup, and that is why I am so grateful to Ata for telling me when I goof up. How am I ever to learn if nobody tells me I am making mistakes! :)

3:51 am

MonkeyGames

I'm in the same boat, of course.

3:52 am

3:56 am

MonkeyGames

LoriP

3:56 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Bob!

3:56 am

Atalante

3:57 am

Atalante

3:57 am

sprite

MonkeyG: 10 of a high playing card?

3:57 am

MonkeyGames

I mean the t6 from the upper right...

3:57 am

LoriP

Ata, rest assured it'll be very low in nutritional content.

3:58 am

sprite

come one, Lori, you know you are making this up. This game has 11 6's. You are seeing the devil in all things human, you.

3:58 am

MonkeyGames

That's teh one! Thank you!

3:58 am

sprite

4:54 am

bfsog

one of my favourite films is Dead Mans Shoes. I recommend everyone sees it

4:54 am

Jacula

My son & his g/f went to see 'Burn After Reading' last night. They said it was 'quite weird'.

4:54 am

LoriP

And there is no way there are 20 p's in this hateful, contrary, poopy grid. ***purple crayons the p***

4:54 am

I don't know that one. What kind of movie is it, bfsog?

4:54 am

sprite

quite weird... is that a recommendation, Jac, from them? :)

k is getting easy sprite, because you can just make up words. No problem-O, fake words!

4:55 am

Jacula

Sprite - not sure. LOL

4:55 am

4:55 am

4:56 am

bfsog

G'd morning ARB

4:59 am

Kathihle

wooHOOOO - fireworks!

4:59 am

LoriP

heh, found a 7 finally in the c

4:59 am

Kathihle

Hi everyone! :)

4:59 am

sprite

wtg Kathihle

4:59 am

LoriP

Congratulations Kathi!

4:59 am

sprite

and wooot for Lori. Mine is in the H department.

5:00 am

Jacula

Well done Kath.

5:00 am

Kathihle

thx sprite & Lori ... sheesh, that was a mission!

5:00 am

Kathihle

thx Jac

5:00 am

LoriP

Ahh, that's why my h isn't done. Thanks sprite!

5:00 am

NonoNanette

congrats Kathihle

5:01 am

Kathihle

thx Nono ... there were only 3 7's?

5:01 am

Kathihle

no, 4

5:02 am

sprite

stats say 4. Not quite a believer yet, though.

5:02 am

Kathihle

yes, there are 4 ... 3 are pretty common words, luckily

5:02 am

Jacula

31 left and I seem to have hit a wall. More tea needed! BRB

5:03 am

LoriP

Ack, didn't think to extend that sprite. Thanks again

5:03 am

sprite

hurry back, Jac :)

5:03 am

Kathihle

speaking of tea, that was my phantom .. I wanted teacup! lol

5:03 am

sprite

yw Lori :) Now you are 100% better in the 7s than me.

5:03 am

sprite

I have lots of phantoms. All can + something else that is elsewhere in the grid.

5:04 am

Kathihle

lol @ sprite ... do you sometimes feel someone made a mistake with a letter on the grid?

5:04 am

Jacula

Ah, Beloved anticipated my need and tea just appeared by my side as if by magic. :-)

5:05 am

Kathihle

*looks round for a beloved* ... darn, the dogs haven't mastered that yet

5:05 am

sprite

every day, Kathihle. Mistakes in the grid and mistakes in the enable dictionary :)

5:06 am

Jacula

Kath - you'll have to ask a Dog Whisperer for help in training them properly.

5:06 am

sprite

Jac, he is such a keeper!

5:06 am

Kathihle

sprite> oh well, we KNOW that dictionary is a thumb-suck type! hehe

5:06 am

Jacula

Sprite - indeed he is.:-)

5:06 am

sprite

he is coming too, right Jac, to Holland? With you?

5:07 am

Kathihle

Jac> Great idea! My daughter has her dog so beautifully trained and I can see in his eyes he'd make me tea if he only had hands! lol

5:07 am

Jacula

Yes Sprite, but I don't know when we'll be coming.

5:07 am

Jacula

Kath - LOL.

5:08 am

sprite

wh4ever it is, Jac, we will do all we can to meet up with you two. Am looking forward to it.

5:08 am

LoriP

Ooh, the gi 6 describes me well! ***ducks in preparation of hurled objects***

5:08 am

Kathihle

I'd love to visit Holland too, have friends there

5:09 am

sprite

Kath, it must be one of the reasons I love playing this game. No matter how inferior I feel, when I start playing babble I get to feel superior to the grid generator AND the dictionary!

5:09 am

Kathihle

lol @ Lori ... I'll keep objects handy for later

5:09 am

NonoNanette

oh my Lori, are we a bit big headed today?

5:09 am

LoriP

: D

5:09 am

Kathihle

sprite> oh dear, I'm still an amateur then .. I still feel inferior *hangs head*

5:09 am

sprite

I would love to throw something, but I don't have the word yet.

5:10 am

sprite

oh, I do have the word. Tsk. Yes, you are, Lori. Very. In errr.... many departments.

5:10 am

NonoNanette

Kathi you beat todays grid... dont feel inferior!

5:10 am

LoriP

***runs around the room like a kid after 4 chocolate bars***

5:11 am

Kathihle

Nono> oh, but I'd never manage without Lickety ... still have never managed much further than halfway before I have to resort to the list

5:11 am

sprite

lol Kath, just look at the grid. See? Some letters are in the wrong place. You know it, I know it. The grid generator apparently doesn't know. *smug moment*
Then look at the words. Like 'inny'. It is a word. We all either have one or don't have one. I know it, you know it, we all know it. But enable does't. *another smug moment*

5:12 am

sprite

go wash up, Lori, before you smudge something.

5:13 am

pugmama763

5:41 am

Jacula

It was a name that stuck in my head.

5:41 am

Wow! Wonder if there was a mistake with the date?

7:00 am

mrpresident

elder, I seem to have a gatecrash here with my list... sometimes it works, depending on our server. I do believe everyone else has the right list?? no??

7:03 am

mrpresident

my brother and his wife where due September 5th... baby came 3 weeks early, weighing in at 11 lb!
We think the docs got it really really wrong!

7:04 am

montreal13

just started, no 7s yet ylleria...

7:04 am

wish i had some 7,s :((

7:04 am

ylleria

np, montreal

7:04 am

mrpresident

the baby and mother nearly died, cause that child was so overdue, and she was not going to have it naturally... no way!

7:04 am

ylleria

well, one is a de 7, crossy :)

7:04 am

hydra

11lb? That's massive! Ouch!

7:04 am

elder

Mr P. that is an amazing weight.

7:04 am

crosshair

dont the induce after 2 weeks over?

7:05 am

EspritdJean

geez mrP surely the docs could tell by ultrasound that the baby was gargantuan!?

7:05 am

hydra

Hiya ylleria

7:05 am

EspritdJean

btw my mother was 13# at birth

7:05 am

ylleria

hi hydra

7:05 am

hello Esp.

7:05 am

11 pounds ? wow ...and, supposedly, 3 weeks early...!!!

7:05 am

Yll. sorry not there yet.

7:05 am

crosshair

my dad was 14;)

7:05 am

hydra

My friend went one month overdue and her belly was almost transparent, it was so stretched.

7:05 am

mrpresident

from the time that she started to contract (bleeding to death) to the time baby was delivered by emergency was 20 minutes.... lucky she lives 3 minutes from the hospital

7:06 am

hydra

Very scary, mrp. Imagine if hospital had been further away

7:06 am

mrpresident

montreal... there is no way in hell that child was 3 weeks early... more like 3 weeks late

7:06 am

crosshair

month overdue?? thats insane to let it go that long

7:06 am

elder

Mr P. close call.

7:06 am

montreal13

scary indeed...

7:06 am

mrpresident

cross, they got the date very very wrong

7:07 am

crosshair

good grief

7:07 am

montreal13

i know mrp but she was only open 1 and a half centimeter on tuesday...

7:07 am

hydra

They kept her in hospital and she flatly refused to be induced. Everything was OK in the end. A 14lb baby, though. My daughter was only 7lb 4oz, same as me at birth.

7:07 am

mrpresident

but that is the crap thing about being seen only by a midwife here... people 'choose' to do that (which is what they did) and if they had gone via private doc, that would NOT have happened, I promise you.
They only did one ultrasound at 20 weeks.... and got it terribly wrong

7:08 am

EspritdJean

pretty damn scary, glad they are ok!

7:08 am

elder

I thought the placenta stopped working efficiently some after the due date.

7:08 am

montreal13

glad all was well in the end :-))

7:09 am

mrpresident

yes elder, the child had 'crap' in his lungs, cause he had already pooed in the sac... it was just awful

7:09 am

EspritdJean

that is awful and can be fatal

7:09 am

hydra

That is dreadful, mrp. It could have been a double tragedy

7:09 am

EspritdJean

meconium

7:09 am

mrpresident

they are fine... my brother was scared to death cause he nearly lost his wife and son

7:09 am

elder

Mr P midwife's are usually excellent, they are trained for years.

7:10 am

montreal13

geez... a narrow escape

7:10 am

mrpresident

the hospital they were at has gone down hill fast... it is a training hospital and has not had much funding... I don't know how the government gets away with it

7:11 am

crosshair

mm does not score well for midwivery

7:11 am

mrpresident

my daughter was delivered by a midwife... she was excellent!
my son was delivered by a ob/gyn... also excellent.
it comes down to fate at times

7:11 am

elder

I go so far back, that scans etc were not available when pregnant. xrays were used in the later months if needed eg. if the suspected twins.

7:12 am

elder

sorry typing errors.

7:12 am

hydra

me too, elder. I gave birth in the 60s and there was no test for Downs syndrome

7:13 am

elder

What is good, that the babies talked of today are here and healthy.

7:14 am

mrpresident

wow elder! I only go back as far as 11 years ago... it was a 6 week scan, 12 week scan, 18 week scan... 32 weeks and then 36 weeks to make sure all was sound.
Now, it is 2 scans... one at 20 weeks and only if absolutely necessary at 32 weeks.

7:14 am

elder

Hydra. quite.

7:14 am

indeed, our family babies are lucky and happy and healthy

Scrabs, it's a site that help "communities" schedule care - i.e., meals, etc. I've used it (unfortunately) several times over the past couple of years... if you are interested I can give you some tips - it really does help the family move on and gives friends in the community something concrete "to do".... in a coordinated way that isn't overwhelming to the family

Scrabbler... I don't talk much here, but I read that... my heart and prayers to all who knew and loved her

8:01 am

Scrabbler

There is a master schedule in the kitchen, but this site will help us to communicate and be informed.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

TY, jorjahgal. (I am a Georgia girl too--born at Emory Hospital)

8:01 am

AsGreen

I'm sure you have it under control then, but I have found it really helpful - especially for the "extended" community who wants to feel useful but doesn't want to intrude. It also helps space out the meals or even "family night - bring a movie" type ideas so that fun can be scheduled in as well

8:02 am

jorjahgal

:) southeast ga here... 70 miles south of savannah

8:03 am

jorjahgal

I truly don

8:03 am

Scrabbler

A, it will help the group of friends be aware of needs and gaps.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Pini's name is in the grid!

8:05 am

jorjahgal

Starting over.. I truly don't know which is worst.. I lost my brother in a car wreck on July 20 07 and 5 weeks later my mom had emergency surgery.. surgeon botched it... we spent 7 mos in hosp... home for a week or so.. back in hosp... we just lost her 2 mos ago...lose 'em fast or for extended time..there is really no prep for it

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Oh, how awful, jorjah!

8:06 am

AsGreen

We had a friend die of brain cancer back in '01 - his funeral was on his 35th bday... saddest thing ever (among, I guess)..... two young kids, etc. But his wife has now remarried to a great guy - he adopted the two kids, they've now had a third, and he (our friend) is still thought of fondly and consistantly...... it's such a sad life experience for those who are left - I could go on an on, but you are richer for knowing and loving her!

8:07 am

i'm having real problems this morning is it my end or the site?

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Mary was a loving, giving, energetic, passionate person.

8:07 am

AsGreen

I don't know about your end :) but the site is working fine for me! :)

8:07 am

Scrabbler

The site is working OK for me, Kitt.

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Haha, A.

8:09 am

KatieMcG

I'm sorry about Mary Scrabbler

8:09 am

jorjahgal

If I had not lived my life this past year I swear I'd think someone was making it up.. we lost my father in law on Jan 6th to brain cancer as well... In a year we lost 3 people we loved so much... so moral to this story... LIVE every day... don't pretend to do it

8:09 am

AsGreen

can I share something happy?

8:10 am

KatieMcG

Please AS

8:10 am

We're getting our puppy today!!!! :)

KatieMcG

Ohhhh what time?

8:10 am

KatieMcG

morning oodle

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Yahoo for A!! What kind of dog?

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi Oodleberry

8:11 am

oodleberry

:-)

8:11 am

AsGreen

She's being put on a plane shortly - we go to LGA to pick her up at 1pm

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Tell us more, A.

8:11 am

AsGreen

She's a very expensive mutt :) . A "double doodle" - a mix of a mini goldendoodle and a mini labradoodle

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Cute, cute! I just met a goldendoodle puppy a week ago--looks like a stuffed animal.

8:12 am

KatieMcG

Can we have photos posted tomorrow?

8:12 am

AsGreen

My daughter is very allergic to dogs - dander and saliva, but we seem to have found two breeds that she's ok with - the goldendoodle and labradoodle - and this particular breeder has mixed the two - lol! She'll mature to be 25lbs - perfect for us

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Do you have a name chosen yet?

8:13 am

AsGreen

the breeder fedexed saliva and hair samples a couple of weeks ago (yuk) and she was fine... soooo, we're diving in!

8:13 am

AsGreen

HER name is.....

8:14 am

AsGreen

Ringo - lol - we couldn't agree on anything else! My son is a HUGE Beatles fan....

8:14 am

Scrabbler

My little "puppy"--Miss B Bunny, is stretched out on her belly in front of the fireplace here, licking her front paws. I often call my bunnies "My pups."

8:14 am

oodleberry

*wonders if there is life aside from babble...makes him wanna go hmmmmmmm*

8:14 am

KatieMcG

I have a colleague called ringo, I will think of your dog whenever I see him :-)

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Aren't your kids just 9? Already hooked on The Beatles?

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Oodleberry, no need to wonder at all.

8:15 am

AsGreen

we picked the name over the summer... then all the crazy news came out last week about Ringo Starr.... I think our pup will be friendlier!

8:15 am

AsGreen

Yes, my son is way into "real" music - The Beatles, U2, The Police - it beats Raffi!! :)

8:15 am

oodleberry

but but but

8:16 am

KatieMcG

I missed the news about ringo starr, what did he do?

8:16 am

Scrabbler

U2 and The Police have been among my faves for many years.

8:16 am

AsGreen

*****no offense meant to Raffi fans*****

8:16 am

oodleberry

uh what is a RAffi?

8:17 am

AsGreen

omg, Ringo Starr ANNOUNCED last week that he is done with fans - leave him alone - he'll sign no more autographs, do no more public appearances, et.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Google "raffi"

8:17 am

AsGreen

*etc. that is

8:17 am

KatieMcG

Really really hate the police and sting, don't know why but always have

8:17 am

Scrabbler

How rude of Ringo!! He got to where he is BECAUSE of fans!

8:17 am

AsGreen

Katie, look at my profile picture

8:17 am

KatieMcG

Nice to know Ringo remembers where all his money has come from!

8:18 am

KatieMcG

Lol AS but wouldn't do if we were all the same and I would have my photo taken with someone I liked :-)

8:19 am

AsGreen

lol - true true... my husband is a HUGE Sting fan...

8:19 am

KatieMcG

I think hubby likes them but knows better than to play them, my friends love it when I get on my sting soap box, even I know I am being completely unreasonable

8:20 am

AsGreen

our other fun news (obviously my coffee has kicked in): we just flew in last night from LA - we were at the Hollywood Premiere of High School Musical 3 - it was really cool. The kids LOVED it - and so did we!

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Wow! How did you get tickets for that?

8:21 am

KatieMcG

I bet they did, were all the stars there?

8:21 am

oodleberry

what does the outside world look like hmmmm? should I google that too hmmmmmm?

8:22 am

Scrabbler

I am at 54/50 and need a break.

8:22 am

KatieMcG

It's cold and grey here oddle, stick with us :-)

8:22 am

oodleberry

8:22 am

AsGreen

my brother in law is an agent... and his clients are the director/choreographer, the writer, and the two producers....quite the big wig that night. We met, um, EVERYONE!!! :)

8:22 am

oodleberry

ok katie like glue

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Very sunny but cold here--another frost last night.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

OK, bye for now.

8:23 am

KatieMcG

As that sounds great, they are very lucky kids

8:23 am

AsGreen

I'm at 60 left... should focus as breeder just emailed me that puppy is on the plane! :)

8:24 am

AsGreen

yes, my kids lead a charmed life. But, we make sure they realize it - and, quite honestly, they are not bratty at all - very appreciative and polite and fun (I really need to lay off the caffeine I think!)

8:24 am

KatieMcG

Bye scrabbler

8:24 am

AsGreen

bye Scrabbs - I hope you have a great day! :) I'm glad it's sunny for you today!

8:25 am

KatieMcG

It sounds like you are doing a great job. I was in my early 20s before I realised that you had to put effort into 'keep moments'.

8:25 am

AsGreen

"keep moments" - not sure I get what you mean

8:27 am

KatieMcG

That's what I call moments you want to keep forever i.e. first kiss with hubby, dancing in the kitchen to 'she's so lovely with my niece on a sunny day' swimming alone with a wild turtle in the maldives - just some of my keep moments

8:28 am

KatieMcG

I lived very much in the present before but it is nice to remember the past as well

8:28 am

oodleberry

from what language are the 'H' words???

8:28 am

Boobear

good morning

8:28 am

KatieMcG

morning boo

8:28 am

AsGreen

so, the effort is ??? - in remembering them? or appreciating them?

8:29 am

oodleberry

hi boo

8:29 am

AsGreen

omg, this breeder is a bit flakey.... I just checked the flight info she gave me, and she sent the dog to a different (but closer) airport!! I'm so glad I checked!

8:30 am

KatieMcG

both, appreciating them as keep moments when they happen and making the effort to dust them off and smile at them rather than just being rushed in the now

8:30 am

Boobear

hi Katie

8:30 am

oodleberry

anyone got any of the h words... one hu and two he

8:30 am

KatieMcG

you would think she would have mentioned it before

8:31 am

AsGreen

ah, yes, that is good advice... well, we do enjoy as we go along, and the photos (which I hope someday to do something with rather than have them on a computer) are great memory reminders!

8:31 am

KatieMcG

I've got 1 He5 oodle

8:32 am

KatieMcG

10 left until the list, really going slow now

8:32 am

8:35 am

good day all! As: what breed of pup???

8:35 am

jorjahgal

kinda off subject but wondering... if people are here playing but don't talk much if any are we what ya'll consider lurkers?

8:35 am

KatieMcG

4 letters meaning entering

8:35 am

AsGreen

breed is a stretch here.... but she's a mini goldendoodle/labradoodle mix....

8:35 am

MonkeyGames

Isn't that from another I, or are there two with similar meanings? Thanks...

8:36 am

KatieMcG

oh sorry that is the wrong one. 4 letters a latin word I think used in law

8:36 am

reparteena

wow! lab, golden, poodle?

8:37 am

MonkeyGames

So both from that i are four letters long and odd... gotcha! Thank you!

8:37 am

AsGreen

well... y - a goldendoodle is a "breed" now, and so is a labradoodle... and this is a mix of the two

8:37 am

reparteena

yes jor

8:37 am

KatieMcG

No sorry monkey the first clue I gave was for the wrong i

8:37 am

FMitch

jorjahgal - yes to your question from one who lurks and chats as time allows :)

8:37 am

redturtlehead

Words, can not express, uh my dislike of this grid. Now 3 days in a row I have grid issues.

8:38 am

KatieMcG

me too red. I'm going to the list early!

8:38 am

MonkeyGames

Yes. The one I have from the i in quesyion, though, fits your second clue... so wondering if both from that one do, is all. Is it an in word as well?

8:38 am

KatieMcG

Hi FM how was lunch?

8:38 am

MonkeyGames

8:45 am

jorjahgal

Thanks for the answer, and I apologize for lurking...I didn't realize it was being rude..I will become a non lurker.. I usually just pop on to play when thoughts get too much ya know?

8:48 am

FMitch

wtg JBV, 2lbs a week is the way to do it.

8:48 am

8:51 am

MonkeyGames

Those pi's are pi* (for sewing) and Anais ***...

8:51 am

JBV

I made turkey chili last night - lean ground turkey, red beans, canned tomatoes and lots of spices - delicious over brown rice!

8:51 am

Thats the good part of Babble jorg - we chat, we learn, we watch, we occasionally get fireworks and we have much laughter which is good for the soul.

8:51 am

MonkeyGames

Well grant - you are a 'grey' image but we will believe you :)

9:43 am

FMitch

Haz you flirt you!

9:44 am

grant

don't say grey, pleeeese

9:44 am

My uncle, not being of a tactful nature, used to refer to everyone else's car as 'The Heap'.

9:49 am

kje

GM everyone

9:49 am

Haz1558

It did not endear him to nieces and nephews who had saved to buy their new cars....

9:49 am

Scrabbler

kje, how was the BBQ last night, with the annoying guy?

9:49 am

lil*monkey

my first VW bug was referred to by my Dad, as the Rice Grinder

9:49 am

9:49 am

kje

annoying

9:50 am

lil*monkey

Aloyisius

I learned to drive in my roomie's old heap, "Alexander the Crate"

guest guy telling a joke, part way through, annoying guy says, oh I've heard this, guest guy asks wife and i if we had and we say no, guest guy goes on with his story and annoying guy interrupts and gives the punchline..... he just likes always being right and being center of attention

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Ptooey at Mr Annoying!!

9:52 am

lil*monkey

kajee, have you tried a swift kick to the nutsack ?

9:52 am

kje

excellent question, scrab.... honestly, i suspect it is because some people would rather marry ANYONE than be alone... she was 43 when she married

9:52 am

nDanLia

thats the point to say I believe xxx was telling the joke

9:52 am

Scrabs, I used to call mine "the bagel" but it's growing into a tire

10:19 am

kje

please monkey.... I've seen your pics, you are slim!

10:19 am

lil*monkey

menopause is the #1 reason for gaining weight in your middle

10:19 am

MonkeyGames

Monkey, I have my doctor and physio working on my case... if they can get the insurance to accept a definition of chronic, then they have to pay for more physio. Since I have untreated tendinitis that has been flaring up for about ten years and my shoulder keeps locking up, they think they can tie it all together. Had a blood test yesterday in that direction. Oh, and ook ook.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

I saw a truck/trailer on the thruway a few days with the biggest tires I have ever seen, being transported somehwere.

10:20 am

Haz1558

No 2 is muffins with peanut butter.

10:20 am

FMitch

Being a woman is the other reason, that and weight on the hips

10:20 am

MonkeyGames

Is it? I thought it was having a baby at 36 while already being pretty out of shape... but as of yesterday I am down anopther 2 1/2 kilos!

10:20 am

The #1 reason for my paunch = excessive caloric intake.

Aloyisius

ty for the vote of support, kje... Weight Watchers used to recomment p.butter on whole wh. toast

10:22 am

Haz1558

It's not the peanut butter on its own - it's the combination with muffins which seems strange.

10:22 am

Scrabbler

Haha, monkey.

10:23 am

FMitch

peanut butter is to die for - it just can't figure on my menu.

10:23 am

Haz1558

Does peanut butter with muffins constitute fusion cookery?

10:23 am

Aloyisius

forgot to tell you Haz that I also smeared JELLY on the combo... yum

10:23 am

lil*monkey

i loooooooooove peanut butter, it's very good on apple slices too

10:33 am

FMitch

I can see a market here for holiday swaps

10:34 am

kje

10:34 am

Aloyisius

i tried it too, lilmonkey.. change the first letter and it will work

10:34 am

redturtlehead

Let see, we have awesome bike and running paths. and a variety of markets and organic markets.

10:34 am

lil*monkey

10:34 am

lil*monkey

10:34 am

Aloyisius

okie dokie

10:35 am

Haz1558

Why blech, Ata? Were you watching Andrew Lloyd Webber searching for talent for Eurovision? have you ever heard a more hare-brained scheme?

10:35 am

redturtlehead

Ooooh I just heard that Colin powell is voting for Barak Obama.

10:35 am

lil*monkey

why are we all touting the benefits of our communities ???

10:35 am

Atalante

temperature and dodgy stomach and sneezing etc!

10:35 am

kje

I am walking distance from the green space that runs from downtown dallas to north dallas... the katy trail... can bike, or walk, or jog...

10:35 am

Aloyisius

Cleveland Plain Dealer just endorsed him, red

10:35 am

FMitch

Would anyone here seriously consider sharing their 'spare' home with aonther babbler?

10:35 am

Haz1558

FMitch is offering to look after babblers' houses. This may cause a ri4/4.

10:35 am

kje

really red????? absolutely fabulous!!! the cons are dropping like flies!

10:36 am

Haz1558

It depends on the babbler and whether you would have to stay with them.

10:36 am

redturtlehead

this is what the news says.

10:36 am

lil*monkey

Colin Powerll endorsed Barack Obama on Meet the Press this AM

10:36 am

Aloyisius

momentum, kje..

10:36 am

lil*monkey

TY for word, Haz :)

10:37 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:37 am

redturtlehead

I'm entertained with the McCain camp saying "voters are smart" I mean who are we kidding....Voters are just people, we are not Harvard grads.

10:37 am

kje

yes, FM, depends on the babbler, but yes.... but mind you, I would also do the house swap thing with strangers via some of those internet sites... from all accounts it is pretty safe

10:37 am

Atalante

I'd go and stay at Haz's house, if she left George behind

10:37 am

Haz1558

Like I would leave George behind.

10:37 am

FMitch

LOL Ata
Interesting thanks kje

10:38 am

redturtlehead

SInce I have an empty house, I am always looking for someone to occupy it a little.

10:38 am

kje

red.... neither are mccain or palin

10:38 am

FMitch

I'd go to Haz's so long as she left the contents of her deep freeze - all those puds :))

10:38 am

lil*monkey

perhaps a degree from Harvard or another institution of higher learning could be a prerequisite to earning the right to vote? LOL

10:38 am

Scrabbler

I would share my home, FM. The area is beuatiful and we have a ski resort across the valley, a park next to us, with trails, etc.

10:39 am

Haz1558

Can you get padlocks for freezers?

10:39 am

redturtlehead

i know...but palin spread it round so she can be alumni from a ton of people.

10:39 am

kje

actually, yes you can, haz

10:39 am

lil*monkey

yes Haz... haven't you seen The Shining ???

10:39 am

Aloyisius

that would be a Jeffersonian Democracy, lilmonkey

10:40 am

lil*monkey

did anyone see Palin on Saturday Night Live last night?

10:40 am

Haz1558

No - I haven't seen The Shining. Must google it.

10:40 am

kje

let me get you a web site red...

10:40 am

Scrabbler

My mother is chattering away on the phone. You guys would lover her.

10:40 am

FMitch

We got some clips on the BBC lil*

10:40 am

redturtlehead

I saw pieces of it this am, monkey she wasnt funny, she seemed uncomfortable.

10:40 am

Scrabbler

*love....she is hilarious.

10:40 am

lil*monkey

i believe there's a scene where Jack Nicholson traps his wife, Shelley something , in the walk=in freezer

10:40 am

Haz1558

It has Jack Nicholson in it. One very good reason not to watch it.

10:41 am

kje

http://www.palinaspresident.us/

10:41 am

lil*monkey

it's a great movie.. based on Stephen King novel

10:41 am

redturtlehead

no Monkey, thats supposedly what makes us great, no requirement for voting...

10:41 am

Aloyisius

oh, Haz... I LIKE J. Nicholson... he is so weird

10:41 am

kje

they add a new item daily, red.... some of teh things interact... like click on the bridge and a car drives off the end to nowhere...etc

10:42 am

Haz1558

If it's Stephen King, then it's probably scary as well. Two good reasons not to watch it.

10:42 am

lil*monkey

but we do have requirements, red... have to be a certain age

10:42 am

JBV

hi, back again - was watching meet the press and follow-up

10:42 am

Atalante

its the wierdest film

10:42 am

lil*monkey

oh yes Haz, one of the scariest movies of all time

10:42 am

Scrabbler

Doesn't anyone want to come visit me here? we would have a blast!

10:42 am

lil*monkey

i do Scrabs!

10:42 am

Atalante

and it's not really scary. only one moment is scary. the rest is wtf?

10:42 am

lil*monkey

however, isn't it cold there?

10:42 am

Haz1558

Then, I think you can take it that I will never see The Shining.

10:43 am

FMitch

I would love to Scrabs!

10:43 am

JBV

hi, scrabbler, are you up in northern ny state?

10:43 am

kje

maybe a summer trip, scrab

10:43 am

FMitch

and to visit with Aloy and red and kje too

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it is now, but sunny. We could cross-country ski in the winter. The prak next to us has groomed trails, and there is a small building with a wood stove and picnic tables.

10:44 am

lil*monkey

i'm off to the gym now... BBL.. have fun, all!

10:44 am

Scrabbler

I am about 35 miles southeast of Buffalo.

10:44 am

Haz1558

Bye lil*

10:44 am

Aloyisius

bye, lilmonkey.. FM.. when do you go on vacation?

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Bye monkey--work on the bagel

10:44 am

kje

sweat a lot monkey!

10:45 am

FMitch

what I would love to do and this is only a dream given the economy now is to sell up and put the money in the bank and then travel and at some point find a new home.

10:45 am

Atalante

ok, how hard is it to move a chest of drawers? Hubsnad and husband's friend have been involved in the task for 20 minutes now. I knew I should have just done it myself!

10:45 am

Haz1558

You want to be an Irish traveller?

10:45 am

Aloyisius

hope they took the drawers out first, Ata

10:45 am

kje

oh, sounds fun FM.... I have friends that travelled around the world for an entire year for their honeymoon

10:45 am

JBV

oh, Aloy, you just took the words right out of my mouth!

10:45 am

FMitch

Aloy - I haven't had a vacation in so long it is embarrasing.

10:46 am

Atalante

who knows LOL. much crashing and banging from upstairs though

10:46 am

JBV

we've had family feuds over that - my husband thinks you can just slide it around without taking out the drawers!

10:46 am

Aloyisius

hernia time for sure, Ata

10:46 am

Atalante

they better be careful, it's an 18th cantury oak chest of drawers thing!

10:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, take out the drawers or else there will be a big mess.

10:47 am

Haz1558

So, not from Ikea, then?

10:47 am

redturtlehead

kje that is hysterical...

10:48 am

Atalante

nope! I already moved the Ikea stuff! that I can do on my own

10:48 am

Aloyisius

well, FM.. plan ahead, block off some time and make it happen! You deserve a break!

10:49 am

FMitch

Agree kje - it would be great - no worries, no responsibilities with daily grind - is that possible :)

10:49 am

redturtlehead

kje are you still there??

10:50 am

redturtlehead

i just got done laughing at maverick statements...

10:51 am

kje

yes... sorry... was watching a news spot interviewing a woman saying she won't vote for anyone with a name like obama... president obama is not american

10:51 am

kje

idiot

10:51 am

Aloyisius

what a ditz head!

10:51 am

redturtlehead

yep...

10:51 am

kje

did you see joe the plumber, red?

10:51 am

Atalante

I love watching the news reports of ppl saying they are scared of Obama. I mean, seriously? In 2008?!

10:51 am

redturtlehead

this is a problem we have.

10:52 am

Scrabbler

36 to go and I need to shower and take on the day.

10:52 am

FMitch

Unfortunately yes Ata

10:52 am

Aloyisius

have a lovely day, Scrabbs.. see you next time!

10:52 am

FMitch

Good to see you Scrabs, have a good day.

10:52 am

kje

thankfully, i think most of this people are fringe... or at least i truly hope so

10:52 am

Atalante

friend's mother has already voted McCain/Palin, and her reason was literally race. It's scary

10:52 am

redturtlehead

ata, there was a lady who stated she thinks the dems are hiding that obama is not a citizen....

10:52 am

kje

bye scrabs...hagd

10:53 am

redturtlehead

i'm afeard of mccain, honestly.

10:53 am

kje

LOL red - people are scary and funny at the same time

10:53 am

JBV

i think it's very discouraging and somewhat frightening.... instead of people celebrating the first black president, we will have people thinking the next president is a terrorist!

10:53 am

Haz1558

It matters not a jot what he is, but does the fact that Obama's mother was white not have any influence?

10:53 am

redturtlehead

it is distressing JBV...

10:54 am

redturtlehead

In a way Haz, for some people that makes it worse...

10:54 am

Atalante

no, because he's Not American, a terrorist and an Arab

10:55 am

redturtlehead

But the McCain campaign keeps indicateing he has almost never been to those "arab" countries...

10:55 am

JBV

colin powell spoke very well about the "muslim" issue - he said why doesn't McCain say it doesn't matter, are we telling young Muslim Americans out there that they can never be president?

10:55 am

Erda

Some people's stupidity has no limits.....

10:55 am

Atalante

it just gets funny when McCain ends up defending Obama from the people

10:55 am

kje

red... did you watch the last debate?

10:56 am

redturtlehead

I did kje, I was watching it on the net while watching project Runway finale too...

10:56 am

kje

i almost choked when mccain had the nerve to attack obama b/c he ha not visited Venezuela .... obama should have said, your runing mate has never been anywhere!

10:56 am

Atalante

but hey, she can see Russia!

10:56 am

redturtlehead

does she have a passport?

10:56 am

JBV

he also referred to a photo that was in the Sept. 29 issue of the New Yorker - of a mother at her son's grave in Arlington National Cemetery - the son, who was killed in Iraq, was a Muslim

10:56 am

redturtlehead

I missed that.

10:57 am

Erda

LOL, Atalante

10:57 am

FMitch

I also think it is funny that Tina Fay/Fey? is in the grid today

10:57 am

Atalante

fey

10:57 am

kje

she does... and this past year she did go visit the troops.... she just got her passport

10:57 am

redturtlehead

JBV it is terrible. There was a babbler on here a few days ago who made the statement, "that Obama has muslim tendencies"

10:57 am

redturtlehead

oops she said Muslim Sympathies...

10:57 am

Atalante

nooooo!

10:58 am

JBV

tendencies? oy vey

10:58 am

redturtlehead

to which I wondered what was wrong with that. tons of Muslims in our country.

10:58 am

redturtlehead

I think its sort of hard for people to accept that the face of America is really changing.

10:58 am

Atalante

but Muslims are Arabs and Terrorists

10:59 am

JBV

people say that American Muslims have been quiet about the terrorism issue - I think it's because they are just plain scared

10:59 am

kje

red, click on the door several times... it shows different things each time

11:00 am

JBV

it takes years, maybe generations, to change people's outlook - I work in a part of the country that has been "diverse" for a very long time, and yet the old attitudes prevail

11:00 am

JBV

I can imagine how much more difficult it is in parts of the country where the new faces are really new

11:01 am

redturtlehead

My parents, who are regular old white poeple moved to rural PA in the 70's are were labelled as outsiders...because they didnt have a german sounding name...

11:01 am

redturtlehead

kje, that door is scary.

11:02 am

redturtlehead

Now of course, they are considered "regulars" because they stayed.

11:02 am

FMitch

I have to say that it is sacrey some US citizens that have never been outside of their state or the US - I have met them when they have come over here as part of a US Co's expansion into the 'unknown market' that is Euorpe and PAC

11:02 am

Atalante

people who lived through the rosa parks era must be horrified at seeing the different parts of segregation now

11:03 am

Atalante

but that happens in every country, though more in the US

11:03 am

redturtlehead

FM, to be honest, it is very expensive to travel outside of the US. My Mother went to Portugal for the first time last year.

11:03 am

kje

red... i just found the "where'd russia go?" when clicking on the window - LOLOL

11:03 am

redturtlehead

But to not have at least been somewhere else...like the next state is wierd.

11:04 am

redturtlehead

who will we laugh at when the election is over.

11:04 am

Aloyisius

could use some advice.. unable to right click and "copy" urls from babble.. do you think my mouse is ailing?

11:05 am

kje

oh red.... there is always a lot of comedy in politics... no matter who wins

11:05 am

iambored

highlight, hit Ctrl + C to copy ad then Ctrl + V to paste

11:05 am

FMitch

Check the underside of yr mouse Aloy and clear and fluff or stuff

11:05 am

MonkeyGames

Right... back briefly again. Pizzas are in the oven. Let's hope Walter will eat his: he got to make it so he knows that he likes everything on it. Who wants to help me track down which pa and pi I need?

11:06 am

JBV

monkey, I have all the p's - need help?

11:06 am

Aloyisius

iambored... I thank you vm for the advice, didn't know that! FM.. lol, no little mouse ball in this mousey

11:06 am

iambored

If the mouse has a ball on bottom, remove the cover and clean the fuzz from the 3 wheels that touch the ball.

11:06 am

FMitch

red - valid point I was thinking back a few years there.

11:06 am

redturtlehead

I just hope nothing odd happens. with the election...funny how everyone was wanting to drill offshore, saying it was why gas prices were so high.

11:06 am

redturtlehead

Now I am paying 2.65.

11:07 am

MonkeyGames

In the pa's I have song, got wages, ouch, pigment, two, window glass, bread-looking word, trousers half, and got wages again...

11:07 am

Atalante

but also babble is kinda strange to copy / paste from

11:07 am

JBV

add a vowel to the trousers half

11:07 am

MonkeyGames

Thank you!

11:07 am

kje

they were saying on npr that it will be less than 2 soon, red... question is, how soon will people then go back to their gas guzzling ways

11:07 am

redturtlehead

FM, I think people don't really value travel...A lot go to the Bahamas, but only go to the resort area...

11:08 am

redturtlehead

kje, I never left my gas guzzling ways, I just paid a lot.

11:08 am

redturtlehead

Yay I found a word!

11:09 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I was doing something else. Have a good day all.

11:09 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, how British! OK, in the pi's I have goes with colada, that with double consonant, the latter with latin plural, short for type of dress, beer comes in these, and a weird word that rhymes with a leafy houseplant.

11:09 am

Aloyisius

bye, Haz... hope you finished, and if so.. congrats! I should be right behind you, 7 to go

11:09 am

kje

one big difference between europe and here is that you can drive for a couple hours and be in another country.... I can drive for 6 12 hours and still be in texas.... there are plenty of europeans who have never left europe, which is similar distance wise

11:09 am

JBV

after the beer, add the bean

11:10 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

11:10 am

kje

6-12 hours (depends on direction)

11:11 am

I can drive for 35 minutes and be in Fort Worth - LOL

11:11 am

11:11 am

redturtlehead

I can drive for 3 days and still be in the US...

11:12 am

jbv.... it was one of the things I loved when i first moved to MD, I could cross 3 states in several hours.... could go to NYC for the day, or DC for a meal.... not so here

11:12 am

Aloyisius

our daughter's German friend visited one year... and she remarked that she had NO idea how wide Florida was... we drove from one coast to the other.. looks "skinny" on a map!

11:12 am

redturtlehead

Clue please, for the T in the upper right hand corner by the X???

11:12 am

MonkeyGames

OK... let's talk R's. Been glaring at these for HOURS. I have: glowing, go for a ****, they're just everywhere, a great valley where we got started, that past tense, and a mass fight with vandalism.

So, KJE, I didn't understand you clue.

11:56 am

kje

11:56 am

kje

phandmd

11:57 am

Lindrickway

Lickety's is working fine phand

11:57 am

Lindrickway

*poof*

11:57 am

rururocks

very cute kje... I got it

11:57 am

phandmd

I am dense I guess. But then I am a fan of Palin, so, if it wasn't nice then...I wouldn't know

11:57 am

rururocks

that would explain the densness

11:58 am

kje

ty ruru.... i needed to be heard : )

11:58 am

phandmd

I just realized that lickety is in fact working. I forgot that I didn't close expert last night and therefore needed to refresh...

11:58 am

kje

na4 - inexperienced, phan

11:58 am

phandmd

ah, now I get it KJE

11:59 am

Atalante

phan - this really isn't being funny, but what do you like about Palin? It would be nice to hear from someone who likes her. We don't get much good about her over here

12:00 pm

phandmd

Well, I really like that she shoots straight from the hip. She seems to me to be a what you see is what you get kind of person. That having been said, I am not sure she should be VP but not for reasons most people express. and I wont disqualify her because of those reasons.

12:00 pm

rururocks

I thought she shoots straight from the helicopter...

12:01 pm

phandmd

haha. She does that too

12:01 pm

Atalante

yes, I like that about her too

12:02 pm

kje

I'm not really getting anywhere here... 28 left... think I need a break

12:02 pm

rururocks

I am sure she is a capable governor... since many Alaskans love her... but she is definitely not Presidential Material

12:02 pm

transitionguy

ruru, so diplomatic!

12:03 pm

Atalante

I like that she can laugh at herself too, that always takes guts in front of a whole country

12:03 pm

phandmd

Well, she isn't running for president. And I feel much more strongly that Obama is not presidental material

12:03 pm

rururocks

Hilary Clinton is Presidential material

12:03 pm

phandmd

yes, indeed. Did you see her last night?

12:03 pm

transitionguy

lets' all hope hillary is our next secretary of health and human services!!

12:03 pm

Atalante

yes! that was great

12:03 pm

phandmd

I don't like Clinton either, but if I had to chose between her or Obama, I would have preferred her.

12:04 pm

rururocks

Well, she is a baby step away from the presidency and could easily be running the country...so you HAVE to consider that

12:04 pm

Atalante

well, she is in a way. She has to be able to take over as President at a moment's notice

12:04 pm

harpjane

hello]

12:04 pm

transitionguy

hey, harp

12:05 pm

phandmd

Yes, I know. But Obama is a much greater threat than Palin is in my opinion

12:05 pm

Atalante

I did like Hillary

12:05 pm

phandmd

but, I know I am in the minority on here, so I don't really want to get into it.

12:05 pm

justafreep

In what way is Obama a threat? That's a serious question, btw.

12:05 pm

Atalante

but thank you for talking a bit about it, phan. its not always easy when you know other ppl don't agree with you!

12:06 pm

rururocks

Obama has brains and will hire bright people to work in the appropriate areas of expertise

12:06 pm

transitionguy

yes, how is obama a threat?

12:06 pm

parsec

Know what I'd like to get into? Babble! Where the grid is the same no matter how you're voting! ;)

12:06 pm

transitionguy

Amen, ruru!

12:06 pm

transitionguy

LOL, parsec!

12:06 pm

Atalante

12:06 pm

parsec

Heh, sorry. I just get a lot of this at work =)

12:07 pm

justafreep

hmmm... in what way is Ob5 a th6? :-)

12:07 pm

rururocks

I think that Babble is open enough to allow different opinions

12:07 pm

phandmd

Let's just say that Obama wants to take this country in direction far far away from what ideals it was built on. I like what our founding fathers stood for. I don't like where Obama wants to go.

12:07 pm

justafreep

Oh, yes, Atalante. I agree. All conversation hereabouts has been totally civil. If we fight, how will anyone ever learn?

12:07 pm

phandmd

and now I am done, really.

12:07 pm

parsec

Do continue. i'll just adjust my window here. =)

12:07 pm

Atalante

absolutely, me too, ruru. I just didn't want ppl to start "ganging up" on poor Phan!!

12:08 pm

justafreep

But can you be specific, Phan? Because I honestly don't see it that way. I hear broad strokes like that, but I could say the same about McCain with that exact same level of proof.

12:08 pm

transitionguy

Obama taught constitutional law. i believe his understanding of the constitution is better than palins, and most people.

12:08 pm

Atalante

I've learned more from other babblers than any classroom over the last few years

12:08 pm

flosey

it takes courage to stand up for what you believe when so many tend to lean the other way

12:09 pm

Atalante

hear hear flosey. and YAY for Phan :)

12:09 pm

rururocks

I don't think that people should change their minds...but .. this country is in bad bad shape and it is time for someone with intelligence to run it in the right direction and get us out of places we should not be

12:10 pm

justafreep

I've also learned "fohn" and "foehn" over the last few years!

12:10 pm

rururocks

I think George Bush has been the worst President in history and THAT is saying a lot.

12:10 pm

Atalante

anyone seriously has to be better than that idiot

12:10 pm

flosey

isn't GB the main reason for many to vote against his party?

12:10 pm

rururocks

crap I would vote for Madonnay over George Bush

12:10 pm

justafreep

oops. I hate to ask and run, but I've just been asked to go hiking by the kids. Thanks for sharing, Phan! Perhaps we can continue another time.

12:10 pm

transitionguy

amen, an TY, ata

12:11 pm

Chris P

well, we can hardly talk. Blair & Brown have systematically destroyed this country over the last 11 years

12:11 pm

rururocks

That is the start of it Fosey

12:12 pm

Atalante

absolutely, Chris

12:12 pm

phandmd

Well, I gotta go. I have a research paper I really need to get busy on. Happy discussing and babbling

12:12 pm

6:39 pm

pugmama763

6:39 pm

tygerbryght

they really need a live-in nanny/housekeeper/gramma type

6:39 pm

lil*monkey

6:40 pm

tygerbryght

unless there is a family member who can do it

6:40 pm

Scrabbler

There is a wonderful nanny, his mother, and many friends that will continue the teamwork to help him and the kids.

6:40 pm

lil*monkey

oh i got a failure notice, pug

6:40 pm

Scrabbler

The nanny lives nearby--not live-in.

6:40 pm

tygerbryght

okay, then. I have ugly memories of how things were after my mother died

6:41 pm

tygerbryght

could a female family member move in for a while?

6:41 pm

pugmama763

6:41 pm

lil*monkey

6:41 pm

pugmama763

pugmama@frontiernet.net

6:41 pm

lil*monkey

6:42 pm

pugmama763

its a pain in the ass address,I hate it

6:42 pm

tygerbryght

pug, you really need to alter how you show it in your profile. It could be "harvested" - put spaces in, at least, babe

6:42 pm

pugmama763

harvested?

6:43 pm

tygerbryght

or maybe even from here. unless your ISP has really good spam protection

6:43 pm

tygerbryght

yes. there are automated computer routines that search for email addresses on websites

6:43 pm

tygerbryght

they call it harvesting

6:44 pm

pugmama763

how rude! never heard that term before TY will add spaces

6:44 pm

tygerbryght

that's why mine is so sneaky, how I put it. others seem to feel that just putting spaces in is enough. they may be right. I hope so :)

6:45 pm

tygerbryght

yvw. look at other people's profiles, and you'll see spaces, at very least

6:46 pm

pugmama763

put a few spaces in thanks tyger

6:46 pm

tygerbryght

I need to put 3 days of "not in" info into my thread about real words on babanon, and I want to get it done before I have dinner (which I haven't decided on yet, need to think). so I'd better go do that now. Later, all

6:47 pm

tygerbryght

I will try to come back later on, after dinner. *poof*

Ruru, I woke up because the dog was growling. After I had checked the house was secure and made a cuppa, I suddenly realised that I knew what the three missing words were.

i decided it was a bit dry and too dense. besides taking it out thwen there's still some give to it, i think i may have ovrmixed because the shrotening was not soft enought to start...but it's so hard to tell with a pound cake that's descibed as "dense" any thoughts?

9:10 pm

9:10 pm

9:12 pm

jacs: my favorite, which recipe will go with me to the grave, is part lemon.

9:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

btw i could use clues for the ap6

9:12 pm

Jacula

ngredients
250g/9oz unsalted butter, softened
250g/9oz caster sugar
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1 tsp natural vanilla extract
4 free-range eggs
250g/9oz self-raising flour, sifted
lemon butter icing

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Grease and line the base of a deep 20cm/8in square baking tin with baking paper.
3. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until pale and creamy. Beat in the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition.
5. Fold in the sifted flour in two batches until well combined.
6. Spoon into the tin and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer poked into the middle of the cake comes out clean (you can cover the cake loosely with foil if it is browning too quickly).
7. Cool for ten minutes before removing from the tin and turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Ice with lemon butter icing.

9:40 pm

stidmama

9:44 pm

herinfernallady

Well stid it has to be done sometimes. It really means you care and that brat behaviour isn;t allowed

9:44 pm

featherbee

nope. hubby has 2 though.

9:44 pm

Jacula

They call tattoos on girls 'tartart' her in UK. So, since I don't like tattoes, and my daughter has some, plus multiple piercings, which I also don't like, I'm in a quandary.

9:44 pm

Nef

Hi, Fellow Babblers.

9:45 pm

Ping

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

HI Nef. What about Tramp Stamp Jac?

9:45 pm

9:46 pm

kje

*thinking this is a good time to run*

9:46 pm

Jacula

Beloved is now going through same with his 13-yr-old - it's the piercings for now, but no doubt the tattoes will begin when she's a bit older. What is it with today's 'yoof'? It's so tribal!

9:46 pm

featherbee

hee hee! well, if i EVER did, it would have something to do with nick and daniel

9:46 pm

Ping

i was thinking about how great it was!

9:46 pm

9:46 pm

herinfernallady

I like piercing's as you can remove them but tats not so sure

9:46 pm

Ping

How old is Daniel now?

9:46 pm

kje

*screeeeeeching halt at door*

9:47 pm

featherbee

sorry to disappoint! he's 4, nick's 1

9:49 pm

Nef

My new daughter-in-law has several tattoos and I'm in a quandry about it. I've told my kids if they ever had any they would need to get them removed before Mamma would be happy again

9:49 pm

Jacula

I don't understand all this tribal stuff! Why run with the crowd when you can be individual?

9:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

de7 clue please?ty

9:49 pm

featherbee

9:50 pm

stidmama

I am scared of tattoos, they are really permanent and sorta owie, I hear. Piercings can get infected pretty easily when they are new... I think hairdye is nice though

9:51 pm

Jacula

Dark hair dye can poison you and bleach ain't good either. Henna's not so bad.

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Stid -- the pain level is primarily dependent upon where you get them -- if in a fleshy area, such as the upper arm it is equivalent to a sunburn

9:51 pm

hootowl

the top one? number plus high card

9:51 pm

featherbee

aha!!!

9:51 pm

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Nef -- that is the key reason why I didn't get mine until about ten years ago

9:53 pm

Jacula

I'm off to bed now, still wondering why the tribal culture. Must be because the world's become more savage again.

Ok - worth a try - thanks

10:05 pm

Yes. Nef. With Champagne grapes. Stuff oozing out of jars all over the kitchen. The stuff makes sounds!!

10:06 pm

Nef

10:06 pm

skooj

Wish he could. Not here in Minnesota, Nef. At least not that kind.

10:06 pm

Nef

I am imagining the smell of your kitchen.

10:07 pm

Nef

My hubby got 2nd place at the state fair with his eidelweiss (sp?) grapes

10:07 pm

skooj

lol, nef. Actually, once the yeast is made, it lasts for ever. Our kitchen smells like bread all the time. So it smells good.

10:08 pm

skooj

Wow, nef. That is is so cool. You grow them in your yard? Impressive.

10:09 pm

Nef

We have a friend that has a small vineyard about 30 miles north of the Cities here; MN does have some good grape varieties

10:09 pm

Maybe champagne grapes can grow in MN!?!?!

10:10 pm

72 Temple Owl
