There are lots of Youth Hostels & Backpacker places in Australia if that will suit. Huge backpacker network which could assest when here. Otherwise should be able to find shared flat or similar AUD$150-200 pw. Food would start around $30 per day. I suggest getting hold of Lonely Planet guides for Aust - or go on line to Thorn Tree - their chat line. Good place for info

3:36 am

Birdeee

3:36 am

westford

last night mr president was talking about butter chicken I looked that up might try it sounds delicious

3:37 am

yogo

birdeee

3:38 am

I was able to find it locally at a specialty butcher but one can also order it online (like everything ) from D'ArtagnanDOTcom

3:38 am

yogo

BIRDEEE

3:38 am

westford

I would probably have substituted chicken or capon

3:40 am

Birdeee

I am not sure why duck is specified really because I have never made it any other time but ze French always make it wid duck (although there are some regional variations that add lamb and other meats)

3:40 am

yogo

BIRDEEE when did you change your icon

4:05 am

oh Trif, lovely! My family went away for a day in this holiday and I could read all day long, like when I was a kid. It was great :)

4:05 am

I pretty much activated cruise control and motored through

4:06 am

sprite

hi Aloy

4:06 am

o-o

Pax, Aloyisius

4:06 am

nd whats a cold flannel

4:07 am

sprite

*puts on cruise control*

4:07 am

Trifioso

that does sound great, sprite. I am such an avid reader, but I have to admit, i read a lot less now that I babble. have to find a balance there

4:07 am

yogo

and

4:07 am

Aloyisius

looking for a cruise control..

4:08 am

yogo

i'm egnored again

4:08 am

Trif, all it takes is a bit more training :)
Babble can be fast, once you know the tricks.

4:09 am

Trifioso

or are conversational in seven languages!

4:09 am

yogo

PLEASE

4:09 am

yogo

4:09 am

Trifioso

to be fair, I have learned a few babblets, and that does speed things up.

4:10 am

sprite

Aloy, BabbleRabble is very very good at Babble, although he never calls attention to the fact :) When he cruisecontrols, I am pretty sure I will have to walk for a couple of stretches.

4:10 am

yogo

bye

4:10 am

Aloyisius

I believe you, sprite.. (-:

4:10 am

Trifioso

that is an excellent way to put it!

4:11 am

sprite

indeed, Trif, and getting to know a series of words in latin, greek and some modern languages that made their way into enable.

4:11 am

Trifioso

i am much better at endings now

4:12 am

sprite

ah, endings rock. I try them on everything and anything. Just because.

4:14 am

Aloyisius

well, the first 36 words popped out of the grid, slowing now.. more coffee, yay

4:14 am

sprite

almost there already then, Aloy!

4:14 am

Trifioso

i seem to be completely gridlocked with 23 left

4:15 am

sprite

Aloy and I suggest coffee, Trif ;)

4:15 am

Aloyisius

just say the lizard... another sip..

4:15 am

Trifioso

really i should be sleeping! i thought this would help me sleep, but not so much

4:16 am

Aloyisius

saw that is, lol.. another sip

4:16 am

sprite

or tea, or any other thing that gets you away from the grid for a little while

4:16 am

Trifioso

aloy, i did wonder what saying lizard had to do with it...some sort of incantation? good thing you cleared that up!

4:16 am

sprite

lizard, lizard... no that is the worm...

4:17 am

sprite

*kicks brain awake*
Come on, you KNOW the lizard.

4:17 am

Aloyisius

it is a florida lizard, so .. worm? hunting a worm now

4:17 am

Trifioso

and sprite, I agree - a fresh look at the grid does release the fish

4:17 am

sprite

no Aloy, my brain came up with the worm, it is not in the grid! I think I need coffee too.

4:17 am

Aloyisius

lol... ceases worm hunt

4:18 am

sprite

sorry to be so unclear

4:19 am

Aloyisius

np.. you never know when a worm will appear

4:19 am

sprite

only too true, took me quite a while to get it into my memory banks!

4:19 am

Trifioso

looking for the lizard, and then realized i prob already had it, since there are about 10 words on here I have never heard of. luckily lizard word is first on my list, so I didn't have to check more than the one def to find it!

4:20 am

sprite

great going, Trif!

4:20 am

Trifioso

...and I learned a new word, which is one of the things I do love about word games

4:20 am

Aloyisius

yes, it is an early lizard (-:

Trifioso

4:21 am

Trifioso

ugh. not good news, br

4:22 am

Aloyisius

4:22 am

Trifioso

4:22 am

Trifioso

4:22 am

sprite

lolol and how many were valid?

4:22 am

sprite

thanks BabbleRabble.

4:24 am

Trifioso

woot - found the third (tips hat to monkeys) if you want a clue, lmk

4:25 am

Aloyisius

..gets banana for monkey

4:25 am

sprite

my brain refuses to come up with the lizard. Aloy, can I please get the first letter?

4:25 am

Aloyisius

a is the first letter

4:26 am

Aloyisius

an "early" lizard ..

4:27 am

Aloyisius

that ends with a spanish cheer

4:27 am

sprite

this is really humbling, lol. Thanks... the hunt continues. Or perhaps I need to check that definitionless word.

4:27 am

Aloyisius

and crawled on to the beginning of the grid

4:28 am

sprite

yessssss of course. Thanks for your patience, all.

4:28 am

Aloyisius

an 5.10, hope that is not too much info, wouldn't want to spoil the hunt

4:29 am

Aloyisius

yay.. (-:

4:30 am

sprite

a total blank in the brain. What can I say :)

4:30 am

Aloyisius

more coffee, please.. lol

4:31 am

sprite

lol yes, I am still in need of my first cup. Am waiting for hubby to get active, but he went back to sleep in some more.

4:31 am

mari

Norma - had a call Diem had message returned but now has the correct address but going to bed :)

4:32 am

sprite

mari, your message is a puzzle in itself! :)

4:33 am

mari

punctuation went to hell - apologies !!

4:33 am

hydra

Hi sprite - happy New Year! Morning mari, Aloyisius

4:33 am

sprite

lol no need, it just struck me as funny. If it is you going to bed, sleep well!

4:34 am

sprite

hi hydra! All the best for this year.

4:34 am

Aloyisius

Happy Saturday, hydra

4:36 am

hydra

Have you ever thought of writing a book starring Aloyisius Merganser? It's such a brilliant name. Like Lemony Snickett!

4:36 am

Aloyisius

ooh, ok, hydra ! I do write, but haven't thought of that!

4:36 am

sprite

it is a wonderful name. I would read the book, just because of the name.

4:37 am

hydra

Do it, Aloy! I'd read it, too! BTW, this wonderful article about yours truly appeared on the web yesterday. http://legendpress.typepad.com/paperbo
oks/

4:38 am

Aloyisius

the first name is intentionally misspelled.. that way not many others use it for a screen name.. (it has an extra i in it)

4:38 am

sprite

ohhhh that reminds me, hydra! I never got back to you about the chapters you sent me, did I ? I am so sorry!

4:38 am

hydra

Dunno why it put the 'oks' on a separate line! I am blowing my own trumpet here, I know. Don't worry, sprite. I'd fprgptten all about them.

4:38 am

hydra

What do you write, Aloy?

4:39 am

Aloyisius

started at age 17, hydra.. reflections. Wondered if I would feel the same when i got "old", so I wanted to capture time through writing

4:40 am

hydra

A wonderful theme, Aloy.

4:40 am

hydra

A la recherche du temps perdu?

4:41 am

sprite

I am usually not that careless, truly. It has been a crazy year, is all I can say as an excuse. Haven't written a single line myself either. Am truly sorry.

4:41 am

Aloyisius

sounds good

4:41 am

Trifioso

hydra, you are the editor he mentions?

4:41 am

hydra

Yes, that's me!

4:41 am

hydra

You know my real name now!

4:41 am

sprite

that is brilliant, hydra! Quite a compliment!

4:42 am

hydra

I was chuffed to bits, as they say Oop North.

4:42 am

Trifioso

wonderful! he really seems to appreciate your input and efforts

4:42 am

Trifioso

how did you get into editing?

4:42 am

hydra

What lovely photos on your profile, Trif. Where are those tiles?

4:43 am

Trifioso

that is the latest large-scale mosaic I finished. it's my kitchen backsplach

4:43 am

Trifioso

splash

4:43 am

hydra

I started out as a pop music journalist, then edited a fiction magazine, had a few books published, fell out with my agent and became a book editor. It's not a very reliable income though.

4:44 am

hydra

You made that mosaic? It's brilliant, Trif!

4:44 am

Trifioso

how do you find books to edit? are you assigned them through an agency? and thanks, I love that mosaic too, if I do say so

4:45 am

hydra

I emailed some publishers with my cv. I've also been working for Cornerstones, a literary consultancy, doing reports on people's manuscripts.

4:46 am

hydra

www.cornerstones.co.uk

4:46 am

Trifioso

can I just say...the very idea that you found a way to get PAID to read, is amazingly amazing to me. you are a GENIUS

4:49 am

hydra

*blush*

4:50 am

Trifioso

seriously, i want to be you, when I grow up

4:50 am

hydra

I love the energy and optimism that leap from your profile, Trif. I think you would write very well for children. Have a go! You could always send me something for my feedback.

4:51 am

hydra

Halfway thru the grid. 36 left to find...

4:51 am

Trifioso

yeee=ikes! i might try that, one day. gotta find some way to feed these kids

4:51 am

hydra

How many kids, Trif?

4:52 am

Trifioso

honestly, it is something I am struggling with, finding a job. I dont' really want to be a teacher's aide, or a lunch lady, but who is going to hire me otherwise? I can only work from 9-2 on weekdays, and only on days when there is school, so summer is out, as are all holidays. form an orderly queue to hire ME! and I have three children

4:53 am

Trifioso

i would love to do some mosaic work for money, but with the economy the way it is, home improvements have really stalled.

4:54 am

sprite

writing will let you set your own hours... until the story takes control and demands your presence at odd hours :)

4:54 am

hydra

Could you do something with your talents? Teach mosaic making? I think writing is your best bet.

4:54 am

Trifioso

honestly, I would rather edit!

4:54 am

Aloyisius

found a flying insect for the lizard

4:54 am

hydra

Mosaics aren't improvements, they're a hobby, an art. I think that overrides economic issues.

4:55 am

sprite

woot Aloy! The circle of life in a square grid

4:55 am

hydra

Then get started with a school newsletter, maybe. If a school doesn't have one, start one.

4:55 am

Trifioso

it should, but it doesn't. people don't have extra money to be doing custom renovation.

4:56 am

Aloyisius

veddy veddy rich people might..

4:56 am

sprite

true, hydra. You could invite a local newspaper to see your kitchen, tell them you are starting a course to teach people to make their own. That would get you started.

4:56 am

hydra

That's a bummer.

4:56 am

Trifioso

thats an idea, sprite...have to mull that one over...

4:57 am

sprite

ohhhh Aloy to the sin bin!

4:57 am

Aloyisius

oops, hangs he** and slinks off to the pb.. sorry

4:58 am

sprite

I do know for a fact that people love to do mosaic making for one day, for instance. Making a mirror or a cup or something. Not quite your level of mosaic making, but still a nice way to earn some money.

4:59 am

Aloyisius

yes, a lovely mother's day coffee cup

4:59 am

sprite

*hugs Aloy*
The sin bin is the best place in Babble land, you know. I stacked it myself this morning. Very good coffee too.

4:59 am

hydra

You could offer to do book reviews for a local paper... Or start a writers' circle. Anything to gain some experience so you could become a pro editor.

4:59 am

Aloyisius

ah, just found the biscotti... ty, sprite!

4:59 am

sprite

my pleasure, Aloy!

5:00 am

sprite

finally found today's biggie.

5:00 am

Trifioso

very good ideas, thanks! i ahve a good friend here in the states who lives in vermont, and she swears no one there has just one job. they all live this creative, wonderful patch work life that blends beautifully. I think that is probably the way I will go. lots of different things to do, won't get bored, can work around my schedule

5:01 am

Aloyisius

the compound word, sprite?

5:01 am

hydra

Well, I must drag my aged bones down to the gym and get some exercise. See you later! And if anyone would like me to look at their writing, there's an email address in my profile. Byeeeee!

5:01 am

Trifioso

bye hydra, and thanks for the great ideas!

5:01 am

sprite

enjoy, hydra, and I will keep that in mind!

5:01 am

Aloyisius

have a great day, hydra!

5:01 am

sprite

yes Aloy, I am lousy at compounds

5:01 am

Trifioso

aloy, any chance of a hint for the compound?

5:02 am

Aloyisius

sure.. something you mi*** call a person who loses their temper easily.. starts with not cold

5:03 am

sprite

Trif, another idea: lady bachelor's parties. Each lady makes a teacup or something for the bride, the bride makes a teapot or suger pot, and they get something to drink while they mosaic, and the bride goes ho4 with a set.

5:03 am

Aloyisius

wow, sprite.. wonderful and productive and practical tea party!

5:04 am

sprite

some mi5 like it so much they want to come back and do something bigger too.

5:04 am

Trifioso

wow, what a great idea!

5:04 am

sprite

*sugar*

5:04 am

Trifioso

woot! got the 7, thanks. somehow I thought it started with an "n" today...

5:06 am

sprite

there mi5 be a way to work in a birthday party too, if you are up to that. With your kids in school you have a natural market already. Many parents are more than willing to pay to get a great party without much fuzz.

5:07 am

Trifioso

ugh, i think not. HATE kids :)

5:07 am

sprite

lol, then forget about kids and only do grownups :)

5:09 am

sprite

I wouldn't do birthday parties unless it would be a matter of life and death. I have 2 a year and am sooo glad our son is 12 now and doesn't want cuddly things anymore.

5:09 am

Trifioso

just kidding. though other people's kids are always so much harder to take, aren't they? I did do a few acting workshops afterschool, and they were interesting, to say the least. "ritalin players" would have been a good troupe name. All these parents signed up their "energetic" children, and couldn't wait to gush about them, and how they were SO creative, and could do voices and such. I wanted to take them aside and clue them in: honey, your kid doesn't "do" voices, he HEARS voices, and it is NOT THE SAME THING

5:09 am

sprite

roflololol!!!! Only too true!

5:10 am

Aloyisius

lol, Trif.. good title, "ritalin players"

5:10 am

sprite

oh, there's another thing... you could write a column in a local newspaper about those kinds of things. I would suggest a nick name.

5:10 am

Trifioso

lol sprite, re the nickname. ya THINK?

5:11 am

sprite

oh yes Aloy, or write a series of columns about it and publish them in a book. Great title already.

5:11 am

sprite

if you value your life hun, yes :)

5:13 am

sprite

I found a freshwater turtoise.

5:13 am

Trifioso

okay i am gonna take a bit of a break now, and try to get some more sleep. loathe to leave, as the chog is so chummy, but I will be useless tomorrow if i don't. kisses all!

5:13 am

Aloyisius

have a good snooze, Tri.. nice chatting with you!

5:13 am

sprite

bye Trif, sleep well and let us know if any of this becomes real!

5:14 am

Trifioso

*yawn* poof

5:15 am

Aloyisius

fireworks send me off.. have a roadtrip back home today.. (am at my bro's), so off I go.. take care, sprite.. bye, Babbler.. if you are still here? See you next grid.

5:16 am

sprite

wtg Aloy! Drive safely and take care.

5:17 am

Aloyisius

*meant BabbleRabble.. gheez, it is still early! poof

5:17 am

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Yuck...I hate nausea.

6:19 am

featherbee

he's on the couch watching a movie.

6:19 am

Uneaixoise

hey, feather :-)

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Yep, keep him distracted from his misery.

6:20 am

featherbee

it's either from doug being sick on Monday, or the pediatrician's office yesterday afternoon that was full of sick kids, and we had to go over on the sick side to be checked for his ear. or, it's something he randomly picked up! i'm just hoping nick won't catch it.

6:20 am

featherbee

oh, and TMI alert, olives are not pretty the second time around.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Doctor's office/hospitals are sources of bad germs. LOL, re olives.

6:23 am

featherbee

could it really have happened that fast from the office? we were there from 3:40 to 4:30, long wait, and he said his tummy hurt around 8

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Oh, then he probably got it from Doug.

6:23 am

featherbee

i was thinking it was pretty fast for that. poor boy.

6:24 am

featherbee

ok, movie's over, going to see what he wants to watch next. my poor baby!

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Yep, the childhood process of building immunity is not fun for kids or their parents.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Shall I stop typing in Z words?

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work--8-12 today. Then XC-skiing. Wahoo!

12:58 pm

featherbee

i'm mising one F. i have one 6 and three 4s.

12:58 pm

featherbee

the first fo4 i have sounds like a device that rings

12:58 pm

featherbee

it's a weird one

12:59 pm

featherbee

spelled like JFK's first name, if you need more

1:00 pm

Aaargh--thanks featherbee, I was playing downward and didn't see it! That's fireworks for me.

1:03 pm

featherbee

1:04 pm

jan

This is another tough grid in a series of tough grids. I counted 24 words that I couldn't define. Anything over 25% makes it a tough grid, in my personal scoring system.

1:04 pm

featherbee

interesting system! you're right though.

1:06 pm

jan

When I first started playing, I made myself click on the definitions of the words--a vain attempt to convince myself that Babble wasn't a total thief of time. Back then, clues were most often in the form of a dictionary definition so that people could google the answer.

1:07 pm

Jellen

Hello, everyone!

1:07 pm

Jellen

I like your system, jan!

1:07 pm

Judi

Hi, kids!

1:08 pm

Jellen

Hi, Judi!

1:09 pm

jan

The flaw in the system is that you can't do the calculation till you finish. By which time, of course, you already know that it's a hard grid because you're surrounded by all the tufts of hair you've pulled out solving the grid.

1:09 pm

Jellen

Lol

1:09 pm

Judi

I find that the smaller grids are much more difficult than the ginormous ones.

1:10 pm

featherbee

hi jellen and judi!

1:10 pm

Jellen

Ginormous ones are just a test of endurance...

1:10 pm

featherbee

i like the small ones, because then i challenge myself to go without the list

1:10 pm

MetFan

You know it, dear.

1:18 pm

Well, filth sounds so much more tantalizing than "kiss-and-tell"... or truffles for that matter.

1:18 pm

Jellen

I'll second that...

1:18 pm

featherbee

ok, gave him a bottle, set him back down, we'll see how long it lasts.

1:55 pm

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

like a criminal but starts with P.

5:23 pm

Jellen

Yes...already dipped into the junk food stash...

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

I have not really made resolutions yet. I need to set a running goal. You?

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

Jellen! you know the only way to take care of that is to not have a stash.... I am not one to talk though.

5:25 pm

redturtlehead

I had a super yummy snickers blizzard at DQ today.

5:25 pm

JBV

stopping in again to say and happy new year! - finished earlier - need clues anyone?

5:25 pm

redturtlehead

Hi JBV, is Hubby still cooking?

5:25 pm

Jellen

Tim and I are also supposed to start working out and that hasn't happened yet...

5:25 pm

chickieo8

My resolution was to not make any resolutions :)

5:25 pm

JBV

no today we are on leftover mode, red - but he definitely has his appetite back so that's good

5:26 pm

Jellen

Hi, JBV...I finished last night...

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

good to hear that he seems on the mend for real JBV.

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

can I get a clue for the di 6? I am not getting it.

5:27 pm

JBV

I am feeling very positive after being weighed in this morning to find that after 6 weeks of not attending meetings, and with all the challenges at home, I lost almost 2 pounds - that's good news for me

5:27 pm

Jellen

Great, JBV...that's quite an achievement!

5:27 pm

JBV

di 6 - a person who speaks two languages - usually seen with poly as a prefix

5:27 pm

chickieo8

wtg girl!!!

5:27 pm

redturtlehead

JBV that is great. I have gained about 5 pounds, which is a little much for me. but I am not fighting it...

5:28 pm

redturtlehead

lingual?

5:28 pm

JBV

jellen if you need will power to stay away from the junk food, I have some to spare this week - I am in the zone, as they say

5:28 pm

Jellen

di* a ditch + land unit in town

5:28 pm

redturtlehead

ooooh I get both clues now.... thanks.

5:30 pm

redturtlehead

Jellen

brb

5:32 pm

jnr

any help for the last az? az/5

5:32 pm

JBV

red, if I could only get started on an exercise plan - I know that's what I need to boost my weight loss , I just seem so stuck, have a million excuses, etc.

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

JBV, you have had hug stress lately.

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

rather huge, not hug.

5:33 pm

JBV

az 5/22 - add a clear soup br***

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

Can you do something like walk 10 min daily?

5:33 pm

JBV

huge, yes

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

But you know, if I lived where you lived, wow, its cold.

5:33 pm

JBV

Yes, that's a good reasonable goal - if I walk around my block it takes about 15-20 minutes. I saw people walking today with hats, gloves, scarf, etc. but they were out there

5:34 pm

redturtlehead

I find that if I just increase little by little I have better success...

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

and heat helps as well.

5:35 pm

JBV

ok, I am going to find my walking shoes (buried in the closet somewhere) and do that tomorrow

5:35 pm

chickieo8

why is it the smaller grids are the hardest ones to do?

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

I have to start running tomorro again, so we can check on each other JBV. :(

5:35 pm

JBV

I don't mind the cold if I'm bundled up -

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

this one is not too bad I thought.

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

JBV is heroic.

5:36 pm

Jellen

Don't know chickie!

5:36 pm

JBV

heroic? no, red, just doing what has to be done

5:36 pm

chickieo8

It seems to take me for ever.....:(

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

any moving about in cold weather is heroic to me.

5:37 pm

Jellen

That's heroism, JBV!

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

5:37 pm

JBV

I was just reminiscing with someone today about how we used to spend a lot more time outdoors in the winter when we were younger

5:38 pm

Jellen

5:38 pm

redturtlehead

I am just a wuss.

5:39 pm

7:54 pm

yogo

bye sec

7:54 pm

Trifioso

oops - sorry birdee, just saw your note. I guess I am okay, but this current troll is really putting me off babble, esp because people keep falling for the pathetic "oh, i am just a young child, help me" shtick and I am SICK of trolls

7:54 pm

lbdawger

yogo, are you being a nuisance tonight? or just not paying attention?

7:54 pm

Trifioso

7:55 pm

mrpresident

Have to say trif, birdee is a bright thing.

7:55 pm

lbdawger

please be more careful. it's very annoying, and it could get you into trouble.

7:56 pm

Trifioso

PERFECT example of what I am talking about. buggers up the chog, and then it's the poor little errant child routine

7:56 pm

Birdeee

7:56 pm

yogo

7:56 pm

mrpresident

if it continues, I will be emailing.

7:57 pm

yogo

7:59 pm

forwardbyfaith

can anyone clue the two he5 words?

7:59 pm

Birdeee

I am on a different forum where there is an account named "Troll Watcher" this account can be logged into by various people and during a 24 hour period can give warnings about the technique of total ingoring that works so well with naughtiness in the young.

7:59 pm

Trifioso

but it did take about 20 minutes, which is a looooong time when you are trying to do a grid.

7:59 pm

Trifioso

and, he was being a tool for about 30 minutes before that too. really, enough is enough

8:00 pm

mrpresident

so all agreed

8:00 pm

secooper

agreed

8:00 pm

lbdawger

8:00 pm

Trifioso

AGREED

8:00 pm

Birdeee

Any requests??

8:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmmm, methinks perhaps we have two under the bridge. careful.

8:07 pm

mrpresident

a "monkey" is a word you accidentally find whilst typing furiously away to try and find a word!

8:07 pm

nelleon

Thanks, featherbee. And I did make a mistake, and apologize again.

8:07 pm

featherbee

monkey means if you put a million monkeys in a room they'll eventually produce the works of shakespeare...well, monkeying a word means typing random combinations until you finally hit on the right one.

8:08 pm

featherbee

it happens nelleon! people are just twitchy because of other recent chog events.

8:08 pm

Birdeee

Owl - What is your icon book about - I have never heard of it

10:42 pm

jillibus

10:43 pm

mkg

west, not at all worried. only feel bad because it is so hopeless.

10:43 pm

mkg

ty all.

10:43 pm

cybernan

ty jill -- good clue

10:44 pm

mkg

easy to do 69 words. i love small grids.

10:44 pm

jillibus

small grids are full of strange words

10:44 pm

westford

that's true but still

10:45 pm

jjks

Jilli, the book series in your profile sounds really good, my kind of thing to read

10:45 pm

westford

small grids are usually evil this one wasn't so bad

10:45 pm

mkg

west, i also have joy of cooking and use it sometimes. but mostly i cook what i know by heart. i have about 5 recipes i do refer to but otherwise not adventuresome anymore.

10:45 pm

jillibus

what's hopeless, mkg?

10:45 pm

mkg

jilli,

10:45 pm

westford

know what you mean mk joy is sometimes too complicated

10:46 pm

mkg

i assume west was referriing to my kids in israel and the war there. it is hopeless because trying to destroy hamas is like the u.s. trying to destroy democrats. how do you know one?????? it is impossible.

10:46 pm

jillibus

oh, I see, mkg -- hope springs eternal

10:47 pm

jillibus

brb

10:47 pm

westford

yes that's what I was referring to how old is your granddaughter now?

10:48 pm

mkg

well the situation there is awful. how do you turn people who believe in violence as a way of life into peaceful neighbors? arafat was offered his nation but he walked out because he knew that he is a fighter not a peaceful head of state. so he walked out of oslo.

10:49 pm

mkg

my granddaughter is 2 on jan. 28th. time flies. she doesnt look like this now. has long hair and is very cute. i was there in nov. to visit. i feel bad for all the israeli's who for 8 yrs now have put up with rockets flying over from gaza daily and maiming and killing. imagine if canada were sending rockets over our borders! would you want your govt. to sit by?

10:50 pm

mkg

i heard that both bush and mc cain and obama stated that israel has the right to defend her citizens from being killed by rockets coming over the border. so why did israel allow this situation to go on for so long? what a mess it is.

10:50 pm

mkg

all the moderate palestinians who attempt anything politicial are murdered within days of any moderate statements. so what is the hope there? it is pitiful.

10:51 pm

mkg

oops sorry to monopolize the grid.

10:51 pm

mkg

gnight all. must get rest. work at 9 am tomorrow.

10:51 pm

westford

not at all mk I happen to agree with everything you're saying

10:52 pm

jjks

mkg, I appreciate your candor very much, thank you.

10:52 pm

westford

take care I'll say great prayers

jillibus

oh good, mrp -- what?

11:01 pm

mrpresident

I got on the back of a motorbike with Lickety... we travelled up to the river and had a lovely seafood lunch.... and then we travelled back on the bike... and I didn't die!!

11:01 pm

westford

how romantic!

11:01 pm

jillibus

I would have died of fright!

11:01 pm

mrpresident

I haven't been on the bike for years!! too scared... Lickety is a madman you know!

11:02 pm

mrpresident

it was west! it was very romantic and he was a gentleman and didn't scare the bejesus out of me!

11:02 pm

jillibus

did you keep the seafood down?

11:02 pm

westford

that's good do you think you'll go again?

11:02 pm

Nef

mrp, that sounds so cool! I'm sure that Lickety was careful with you today after this past year that you've had

11:02 pm

mrpresident

LOL!! indeed I did... it was a delicious meal, oysters followed by flathead

11:03 pm

jillibus

so will your next icon be a motorbike, mrp? For your good news?

11:03 pm

mrpresident

I think I will do it again... yes, I will.

11:03 pm

mrpresident

yes, will get a pic of the bike up! will ask him for one no
w.

11:03 pm

jillibus

flathead?

11:03 pm

mrpresident

Nef, he tried to pull a 'trick' and I punched him really hard! told him I would get off and walk home!

11:04 pm

Nef

okay is that "flathead " a typo for "flatbread" or is it a real thing?

11:04 pm

mrpresident

flathead is delicious! very meaty and thick white fish

11:04 pm

jillibus

I feel like a flathead with grids like this -- or is it a fathead?

11:05 pm

jillibus

I luuurrve fish

11:05 pm

westford

as long as you're not a ho7/40

11:05 pm

mrpresident

flathead is one ugly fish! It is indigenous to australia

11:05 pm

jillibus

I must get to australia

11:06 pm

westford

I love it more

11:06 pm

Nef

really? As sick as you were this year and he tried to do a trick with you on the bike? What an IDIOT! -err, very typical of a guy though

11:06 pm

mrpresident

wiki it, check out a pic of it, doesn't look edible, but is just lovely grilled with lemon

11:06 pm

jillibus

mmmmmmmmmm

11:06 pm

westford

11:07 pm

jillibus

we have big Pacific oysters here too

11:07 pm

mrpresident

that is nice west! will she be on the eastcoast?

11:07 pm

mrpresident

how much do you pay for oysters there... by the dozen?

11:07 pm

westford

she said sydney and melbourne for starters she's studying entymology so she'll be bug hunting

11:08 pm

mrpresident

sydney is nicer than melbourne, weatherwise

11:08 pm

mrpresident

she will need to rug up for melbourne

11:08 pm

westford

that will be your winter won't it?

11:09 pm

mrpresident

yes, but we get mild winter in Sydney

11:09 pm

jillibus

mrp, I don't buy them, and if I did it wouldn't be by the dozen!

11:10 pm

mrpresident

mind you... last winter was bloody cold! The average temp was about 15 degrees celcius over August... very cold for us.

11:10 pm

westford

can't buy them in r months or is that when it's okay?

11:11 pm

jillibus

I'm used to east coast N American oysters -- small and tasty, easten raw. Here the biggies are fried. There are also small and expensive ones -- lovley raw,

11:11 pm

westford

hope it's not that cold when she's there she went to Singa pore a few years ago and loved it

11:12 pm

mrpresident

we have sydney oysters... small but delicious for about $10 dozen, the Pacific Oysters are huge! they are about $16 dozen

11:12 pm

jillibus

I must go to australia even in your winter. The one here is being horrible and freezing even here where it's supposed to be mild.

11:12 pm

westford

huge= tougher?

11:12 pm

mrpresident

Singapore is hot! We went there too for our honeymoon cause it was winter here. Lovely place

11:13 pm

mrpresident

well, they are certainly a whole meal west! but not tough

11:13 pm

jillibus

west -- huge = squishier

11:13 pm

westford

westford

11:15 pm

jillibus

mrp, that would be lovely, but your climate is much better!

11:15 pm

mrpresident

I visited Canada, and it is a beautiful place!! Travelled half the country from BC over to Alberta.... in the middle of winter! It was cold as hell, but gorgeous

11:15 pm

jillibus

I have to think of an icon for the next grid -- not easy these days

11:16 pm

jillibus

mrp, that's not nearly half the country!

11:16 pm

jillibus

but it is gorgeous

11:17 pm

mrpresident

well, I don't think about half your country is inhabited to the north!!

11:17 pm

westford

someday I'll visit British Columbia and Australia

11:17 pm

westford

11:17 pm

mrpresident

Banff was my favourite place

11:17 pm

jillibus

11:18 pm

mrpresident

well, all babble friends of mine are welcome here in my home... everything on the house

11:18 pm

jillibus

Banff is beautiful but all I remember of it is when I was 8 the train stopped there and I saw my first gum machine

11:18 pm

westford

when we visit his sister in Michigan we go up into Canada for a short way and that's all the Canada I've ever seen

11:19 pm

mrpresident

11:19 pm

westford

11:19 pm

jillibus

11:19 pm

mrpresident

11:20 pm

jillibus

on the other hand, I also remember Castle Mountain in the Rockies -- a conductor pointed it out

11:20 pm

mrpresident

well, I am going to put what I am grateful for up, it is nearly the end of sunday here!

11:20 pm

westford

I'm going to look too back soon

11:21 pm

jillibus

must think of something -- can't be grateful for the weather or the road crews who haven't done anything

11:21 pm

mrpresident

jilli, get out there and kick them up the kazoo

11:22 pm

mrpresident
