J. C.

If you go to the link, westford - then look at the list of links, and click on the one that says 'The Saucy Vegan - Google' there is a lot of good information and excellent articles linked to, on that page . . .

12:52 am

westford

never type a word from the grid in the chat though or you'll end up in the penalty box

12:53 am

Scrabbler

JBV, I am seeing the report of that plane now, on NBC

6:12 am

JBV

thank you everyone - you are good for my soul

6:12 am

sprite

*goes hunting for that w7*

6:12 am

Scrabbler

((Babblers)) Great support community!

6:13 am

JBV

my response in situations like that (the plane) is to be amazed at how many people had to be involved to OK it, not just one person

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Stupid & thoughtless decision.

6:13 am

jacq

got it ty

6:13 am

JBV

decisions.....

6:14 am

herinfernallady

Why did they do a plane fly over in NYC?

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Yes, to create such terror in people.

6:14 am

JBV

the WHite house said they wanted to update their photo file of the president's plane in landmark locations (statue of liberty)

6:14 am

JBV

but it was frightening for so many people

6:14 am

jacq

they did a really low flyover and scared everyone on the ground, so insensitive

6:14 am

bichon

Scrab, my daughter called me yesterday and asked if Ithought my gdaughter had Swine Flu.

6:14 am

bichon

I don't remember attending medical school

6:14 am

JBV

President Obama said he was "furious" - someone's head will be rolling today

6:15 am

sprite

jacq, wa7 ends in what sounds like an oak or elm etc. Starts as as a shame.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Bichon, there is such hysteria. I read www.cdc.gov twice daily to get the facts.

6:15 am

jacq

i finally managed to find it sprite, but ty for looking

6:15 am

sprite

hi bichon

6:16 am

sprite

hurshy

6:16 am

Scrabbler

I need more help with that wa7 please

6:16 am

sprite

and hello hursh

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy, and I agree

6:16 am

herinfernallady

I am also amazed JMC that Obama would even say yes to a waste of $$$ when they could take a pic of the plane on the ground and then photo shop in liberty and such

6:16 am

bichon

The baby has a cold. My daughter works at a school for mentally disabled. They received an alert. Who does she call first, me Dr. Grandma

6:17 am

jacq

that's because she trusts her mom

6:17 am

sprite

Scrabs: past form of to be + he who attempts minus last letter

6:17 am

jacq

my kids call me all the time too

6:17 am

jacq

ohhhhhhh, my baby grand-daughter took her first steps yesterday

6:17 am

Aussieme

wa7, past tense of is + attempts - last letter.

6:17 am

JBV

the problem is, herin, he did not OK it - he seemed to be taken by surprise, as was the mayor of NYC

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, people have to be educated about what is a flu illness and what is a cold or gastroenteritis.

6:17 am

Trifioso

I call my mother all the time too, but, hey - she was a physician for over 30 years, so there you go!

6:17 am

6:29 am

sprite

6:29 am

I have yet to me4 my first horrible one

6:42 am

Trifioso

well, you are doing better than me then! we do have many the wrotten apple

6:42 am

6:43 am

sprite

I do know a few horrible dutch people though

6:43 am

Trifioso

not many american tourists in your area then?

6:43 am

herinfernallady

snuggles

6:44 am

Trifioso

I did encounter a very strange dutch woman last year - would refuse to say she was from holland, only "the netherlands"

6:44 am

sprite

no, not many and those that come, usually go to the Zaanse Schans (wind mills) and do not come in our village.

6:44 am

Trifioso

my dear neighbor is from holland - could listen to her talk all day, her accent is just lovely

6:45 am

sprite

pffft how silly. The Netherlands is correct, Holland is only the area around Amsterdam and The Hague, officially. But Holland will do for me!

6:46 am

sprite

argh yes, that accent we seem unable to lose. MonkeyGames told me I speak english very well, but with a plain dutch accent!

6:46 am

Trifioso

primo was killing himself laughing over his trip to Italy - apparently he and two other boys from the group "invaded malta"

6:46 am

sprite

lol

6:47 am

Trifioso

he wants to put it on his transcript for colleges -- along with "was Time's person of the year" - the year they put a mirror on the front, celebrating user content of the web....

6:47 am

sprite

oh brilliant!

6:48 am

Trifioso

uh oh. HUGE noise in hallway - apparently kitties just got into something big....and are still in it! brb

6:48 am

sprite

hurry back and tell us all about them :)

6:50 am

Trifioso

what the hey??? can find no evidence to show what all the barracking was! sounded like elephants running down the hall, and now - nothing. no mess, and no sign of the perpetrators....

6:50 am

sprite

as the hydrogen particle said after the bomb had exploded: now I am an exat4.

6:50 am

sprite

oh oh, that bodes ill, Trif. They are up to horrible mischief, somewhere out of sight!~

6:50 am

Trifioso

ha ha ha good one sprite!

6:50 am

Trifioso

sigh, I know.

6:51 am

sprite

but not a valid one, darn :P

6:51 am

Trifioso

my son used to love this one: how did the pig feel when he lost his voice?

6:51 am

Trifioso

disgruntled

6:51 am

sprite

roflol!

6:52 am

Eva

groan...and good morning

6:52 am

sprite

Hi Eva :)

6:52 am

Trifioso

morning eva!

6:53 am

Eva

In The Once and Future King they tracked "fewmets" which was supposedly the spore or droppings of wild beasts. Always thought it was a real word, but guess not.

6:54 am

sprite

I know! I tried 3 times to make sure.

6:54 am

Eva

Wasn't that a wonderful book?

6:54 am

sprite

one of my favorites

6:54 am

Trifioso

speaking of wild beasts - on the way home from the bus stop yesterday, a momma deer and her two sweet, sweet fawns were strolling through my woods - hope they show up again today1

6:55 am

sprite

Oh I wish we had deer around here. They are so beautiful. Enjoy them doubly for me, Trif!

6:55 am

Eva

I just looked it up and it is a medieval hunting term for the spoor of wild beasts.

6:55 am

Trifioso

will do!

6:56 am

Trifioso

"spoor" is a nice word for that.

6:56 am

herinfernallady

Oh Eva how goes it?

6:56 am

Eva

My deer (or I guess they think of me as their human) are rather invisible right now, as there is no seed in thebird feeder any more and my garden isn't lush enough to destroy yet. I love them but are going to buy garlic spray and deer guard today.

6:57 am

Eva

fewmets is such a lovely word even if it isn't accepted by the stupid bable dictionary

6:57 am

sprite

*again kicks enable viciously into better behaviour*

6:57 am

Trifioso

eva, if you have a man about, ask him to um, "water" the yard for you - they don't like either. Poor Primo is so used to me....he just shuffles out there with an "I know, I know...."

6:58 am

sprite

so we can say fewmet and spoor but not pee??

6:58 am

Trifioso

lol, sprite. was trying to be polite....

6:58 am

Eva

LOL trif-we've tried it, both of us, and they couldn't care less. Very pushy deer around here. They've figured out that I am completely benign.

6:59 am

Trifioso

oh deer! sorry to hear that, eva!

6:59 am

sprite

hahaha I know Trif

6:59 am

Trifioso

stick with the garlic then. keeps skeeters away too, I think

6:59 am

ursh

hello all back for 31

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Sorry i have the attention span of a gnat

6:59 am

Eva

Tried coyote urine too. They laughed.

6:59 am

sprite

hi ursh and lady, wb

6:59 am

Trifioso

they laughed!!!! oh, you slay me, eva!

6:59 am

sprite

roflol Eva

7:00 am

sprite

skeeters?

7:00 am

Trifioso

my sister had a group in her yard that could have rung her doorbell with their wee noses. no fear at all

7:00 am

Trifioso

mosquitos

7:00 am

herinfernallady

Eva. What about human pee?

7:00 am

sprite

not good for the garden, I guess, but it sounds so lovely

7:01 am

sprite

thanks Trif, will remember

7:01 am

Trifioso

they are too bad, really. I could do without the deer ticks, however. lyme disease. feh

7:01 am

Trifioso

NOT too bad, even! Paging dr. Freud....

7:01 am

sprite

oops yes of course, that is risky

7:02 am

Eva

The garlic, or sulfur, or anything, works for a while and then they get used to it so one has to keep switching things around. They usualy wait until I'm away for a weekend and then invite all their friends for a garden rave party. But last year I finally put black plastic mesh over all of the raised beds, except the tomatoes, which they don't like, and things got much better. Although they threw a tantrum and wrecked a couple of tomato plants just for spite. Lyme disease is still not rampant this far north trif, but with the warming trend they are coming

7:03 am

sprite

*You have reached the Freud residence. My Id is out today, but leave a message for my ego if you like.*

7:04 am

Trifioso

Eva, I know folks who have had good luck with spreading that weird orange mesh stuff - the kind highway dept uses - on the ground around the gardens. the deer don't like walking on it, give up and go elsewhere. it's not pretty, but it does work, and you don't have to hang it up, just lay it down.

7:04 am

Eva

The true Freud answering machine would simply be silent and wait for you to free associate

7:04 am

Eva

good tip trif! Thanks

7:05 am

sprite

yeah but mine was funnier :P

7:05 am

Eva

yes it was

7:06 am

Trifioso

the wasband and I did a bril message once, if I do say so: we aren't in right now. if you are victorious, press 1. to say you in French, press 2. to play golf, press 4, to have our dog attack you, press 6; if you have already eaten, press 8. to say no in german, press 9. tee hee hee

7:06 am

Trifioso

7:07 am

Eva

7:07 am

Trifioso

7:08 am

Eva

ex-ish....has be become ectoplasmic?

7:08 am

herinfernallady

giggles at wasband

7:09 am

Trifioso

don't I wish! there isn't a name that works, you see....estranged husband seems too dr. phil, douchbag tool seems a bit hostile in front of the children....sigh, it's a puzzle....

7:09 am

sprite

wasband is a great word

7:09 am

Trifioso

it works for now....

7:57 am

ok babblers, i need opinions.
gonna get a plant for mom for mothers day (she prefers plants to flowers, as she can re-plant them in her garden) and im trying to narrow it down...

7:58 am

EvaNadine

these are what im looking at:
Gardenias
Rozaleas
Ranunculus
Cycl
amen
Chrysanthemums
(also 2 "mixed" plant baskets)

any thoughts?

7:59 am

Uniquity

Something hardy is always my best bet. I have a bizarre fondness for cacti...

7:59 am

oodleberry

i have the tr5 attempter but I need the other one please

7:59 am

Uniquity

Amen? *looking some of these up*

Gardenias are fabulous...and hello everyone

8:01 am

i think im leaning toward the Ranunculus -- they sort of remind me of Dahlias...

8:02 am

8:02 am

Uniquity

I like the vividity of ranunclus, provided google images is a reasonable likeness.

8:04 am

oodleberry

tr7 please

8:04 am

EvaNadine

i like the Ranunculus flowers, but the picture of the arrangement is sort of lacking...
so im trying to decide -- go with the nicer flowers that she can plant or go with the nicer initial arrangement?

8:05 am

Uniquity

Well, if they are going to be planted, it would make sense for what is beautiful in the garden, yes?

8:05 am

thats my thought, uni. i just dont want them to arrive and for her to be disappointed initially...

8:06 am

Uniquity

That is a faux pas, ignore.

8:06 am

oodleberry

I would go casantherMUM for MOM :D

8:07 am

Uniquity

That's true. But I think it is also important that you like whatever it is you are sending her, for the connection and all that jazz.

8:07 am

movieman

clue for the 8 plz

8:07 am

suefrad625

my mother hates gardening and is alergic to flowers, but she loves them, so I sent her an edible cookie baseket of fowers.

8:07 am

oodleberry

oops what a spelling

8:07 am

EvaNadine

in the past, i have sent her Hyacinths, Hydrangeas, and Violets, and she has loved them all.

8:08 am

oodleberry

chrysantherMOMS

8:08 am

:D

8:08 am

Uniquity

Will these look lovely with those? Flower names don't mean anything to me, lol.

8:09 am

EvaNadine

i think they all look lovely together...heh...
but that reminds me, i havent actually checked her garden in a while to see which poor plants have *survived*

8:09 am

Anniebrook

I love gardenias. I would enjoy them as long as I have them. Dont have a garden (just a terrace) so I am not thinking long term. Why dont you send her favorite flower?

8:10 am

movieman

clue for the 8 plz

8:10 am

Uniquity

The pictures I saw of gardenias were absolutely gorgeous. And I tend to stick to Sunflowers (my big fave :D)

8:10 am

Uniquity

MM - no eight here. I'm listless thoguh

8:10 am

EvaNadine

she doesnt really have a favorite...

8:11 am

Anniebrook

I have lobelia and impatiens out now and it is so pretty

8:11 am

oodleberry

Eva first I think you should go and see which have survived then decide which of those on your list is the hardiest

8:11 am

suefrad625

What about tiger lillies

8:11 am

suefrad625

they come back and multiply

8:12 am

oodleberry

anyone have a clue for the tr7 please

8:12 am

EvaNadine

ooh, lobelia are pretty -- never heard of those!

8:12 am

Uniquity

Things that take care of themselves are nice.

8:12 am

EvaNadine

alas, i wont be able to visit before mothers day. its only 2 weeks away here...

8:12 am

Anniebrook

EvaN, the color is amazing

8:13 am

EvaNadine

tiger lillies arent really her style. she goes more for the pinks + purples...

8:13 am

Uniquity

Whoa, these lobelia are brilliantly blue and violet.

8:14 am

Anniebrook

Uni, I have 2 tubs of lobelia out on my terrace now. Absolutely bluely fabulous

8:14 am

suefrad625

I live in NC, and got a Dwarf Japanees Maple and a Rose bush from Aldi's about 2 weeks ago and they have already grown 2-3 inches

8:15 am

i wish i knew more about gardening, so i could actually figure out which flowers are good for the area + will thrive there...

8:15 am

suefrad625

do you want tall or ground cover?

8:15 am

oodleberry

so no one has a clue?

8:15 am

Eva...where iks there?

8:15 am

8:16 am

amelu0218

oddle, tr7 is three + what sounds like a package of printer paper...

8:16 am

Uniquity

If you look up a gardening site (well, some) then they give a designation of how well they do in each zone. Obviously you would need to know your zone, but some sites are immensely helpful. I helped a friend choose items for his herb garden through the internet.

Lori, No, your clues were great, it is me but I did manage to find the re6...thanks

8:34 am

Anniebrook

Haz, How is our dear Spangle?

8:34 am

Haz1558

There's Annie, diplomatic as always. If only I knew how to be as tactful.

8:35 am

Haz1558

Spangle is absolutely fine, Annie. Paws are being Arranged as we speak.

8:35 am

LoriP

Tact? That's for putting posters on the bedrooom wall. Or something like that

8:35 am

Anniebrook

Hazel, You are making me laugh. Tact is not my strong suit but I try

8:36 am

oodleberry

what did the clarinet say to the sax?

8:36 am

Haz1558

Is that when you know you're grown up? When you don't put posters up on the wall, with tact or not.

8:36 am

Anniebrook

waht?

8:36 am

Anniebrook

what? rather

8:36 am

oodleberry

you are really saxy

8:36 am

I think you're very tactful, Annie. You know when to step away from the keyboard.

Hello peri.

Annie is far more diplomatic than I am capable of, or willing to. :p

8:37 am

Anniebrook

Hazel, I learned when to step away from the smart babblers here

8:37 am

Uniquity

And Jimi Fendrix :)

I may never grow up then...Althoguh my posters are prints of paintings.

Go harp go!

8:38 am

Uniquity

Fendrix, Hendrix. Whatever.

8:38 am

Anniebrook

Absolutely....age and hard knocks

8:38 am

Haz1558

My favourite 7 so far is the tw7/48 - the Highland reel danced by a couple rather than the normal eight.

8:41 am

Haz1558

Scottish country dancing references clearly not appropriate. Try Scots for a pair (three letters) then '**** day my prince will come'

8:41 am

LoriP

All right, headed back to the couch. Good to see you again Annie of Brooklyn, take care. Later gators.

8:42 am

Haz1558

Only in my case, I sincerely hope it isn't Prince Charles.

8:42 am

periwinkle

aha, great clue, Haz, got it

8:42 am

Haz1558

Back to the couch? You mean you're ill? Who knew?

8:42 am

Haz1558

Great, glad it worked, peri.

8:43 am

Uniquity

Oh, that Lori. Drama queen. Spouting off about her illness right and left.

8:43 am

Haz1558

She'll do anything for sympathy. It's a weakness with her.

Yes, it is. I cruised along and then WHAM...hit the wall.

8:49 am

Anniebrook

sunny and going to be near 90 degrees today

8:49 am

harpjane

sorta jealous of annie but at least i have an excuse for not doing yardwork!

8:50 am

Anniebrook

jane, I was thinking a blizzard would be a welcome change

8:50 am

EvaNadine

*finally* got around to loading my Cherry Blossom pictures to my flickr account. :)

8:51 am

Haz1558

Is this you in yet another guise, EvaN? Geisha pictures or something?

8:52 am

Haz1558

Oh, and how's the decorating going?

8:53 am

oodleberry

eva two of the pics are sideways

8:56 am

Uniquity

That pillow fight looks AWESOME.

8:56 am

flosey

good morning everyone

8:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning, flosey.

8:57 am

oodleberry

hi flosey

8:58 am

flosey

brb, must get coffee

8:59 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i dunno why the pictures are displaying sideways, because they werent loaded that way!

9:00 am

flosey

ahhhhh, really needed coffee

9:00 am

oodleberry

beautiful kids eva

9:01 am

oodleberry

what happened to the one's nose? ;-)

9:02 am

EvaNadine

oodle -- who knows. my nephews are always injured somehow. they are real rough-housers!

9:04 am

oodleberry

oh ok... the pillow fight... was that in just one city or other cities as well and do I remember correctly that there were some arrests?

9:04 am

EvaNadine

i believe it was national...i wasnt involved + we didnt know about it until we walked through it...hah

9:06 am

oodleberry

and you started getting pelted eh?

9:06 am

EvaNadine

thankfully, the rules said "no hitting anyone without a pillow"
heh

9:08 am

oodleberry

ohhh I thought so but wasn't sure

9:10 am

EvaNadine

wow, the Dupont one wasnt nearly so large!

9:11 am

oodleberry

that looks like it was in Washington DC but the NYC one is supposed to be the biggest ... feathers flying everywhere

9:13 am

EvaNadine

it seems we have taken over the chog with talk of pillowfights...
perhaps all the other babblers are afraid of being beaten with a pillow!

9:15 am

oodleberry

I would be as I have had problems with my neck

9:15 am

EvaNadine

me too. tomorrow is my last PT appt! yay!

9:17 am

PILLOW FIGHT!!

9:17 am

9:17 am

Haz1558

I'm always fascinated by how physiotherapists can find pain where you didn't even know you had it.

9:20 am

EvaNadine

i wouldnt know, haz. i had pain!

9:20 am

oodleberry

or maybe they inflict it muhahahahahahahaha

9:21 am

Haz1558

Oh I know. But pain beyond the pain you knew you had. In any case, has it helped?

9:22 am

EvaNadine

well, my neck feels back to normal. but im not really sure if it got better because of the PT or if it just got better on its own. (honestly, im inclined to think it just got better on its own)

9:23 am

Haz1558

No, I'd give some credit to their help.

9:26 am

EvaNadine

i had only gone to 1, maybe 2 sessions before i started feeling better. im sure they helped some, but i think what helped more was my manager going on vacation. ;)

9:27 am

Haz1558

So, he/she is a literal pain in the neck?

9:28 am

EvaNadine

shes my friend.
but sometimes, she causes more drama/difficulty than she solves.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Well, I'm glad that the neck is getting sorted. What about the decorating at home? Any progress there?

9:30 am

EvaNadine

we havent had much time. we did spray-paint the frames to a set or mirrors i have. but once they were dried, i noticed a few missed spots, so last night we bought another can so i can have a second go at them.
BF thinks they look fine, but missed spots will drive me bonkers!

9:31 am

Judi

Hello, all!

9:31 am

Haz1558

Hello, Judi!

9:31 am

EvaNadine

i think im gonna spend a little time each day trying to tape of the walla getting painted, so that whenever we do finally make the time to paint, it is all ready to go...

9:32 am

Haz1558

Preparation always seem to takes more time than you imagine, but it's worth it to get a good finish.

9:32 am

Judi

Yeah, that works, Eva. My living room has been like that for, oh, about six months now!

9:33 am

EvaNadine

i know how long it takes to tape the walls off. and how perfect those lines have to be. id rather take my time doing that now than rush at the end (which i know the dear BF would do)

9:34 am

EvaNadine

he keeps hanging things on the walls + i keep reminding him that they are all just going to have to come down whenever we paint...hah

9:35 am

Haz1558

Poor man! He just wants the finished wonderment and none of the detail.

9:35 am

EvaNadine

exactly, haz! have you met him? hehe

9:35 am

Judi

I've decided to hire a paiting contractor because my back insisted I not do the project myself. Hubby is still looking all goggly eyed at me about that. I told him the alternative would be for HIM to paint it. He fled the room.

9:36 am

EvaNadine

i actually enjoy painting. i just hate the prep work. but i know its necessary.
i actually kinda hope he leaves me at home alone to do the painting...

9:37 am

Haz1558

You've made the right decision, Judi.

9:37 am

EvaNadine

i agree judi. if you cant, and he wont, hire a professional!

9:38 am

Haz1558

So, all we need is something that will keep EvaN's man and Judi's husband out of the way and not moaning about the cost.

9:38 am

Judi

Even so, it's not going to get done soon. We're looking at about a $1,500 to $1,800 cost for a contractor to do it. I'm still just getting estimates.

9:38 am

Haz1558

Have you ever introduced them to babble?

9:38 am

EvaNadine

heh, our cost is already spent!
nott o mention that we just ordered a new mattress on sunday.
i cant WAIT for it to arrive!

9:38 am

Judi

A winning lottery ticket would come in handy right about now.

9:41 am

Haz1558

If we could convert our babble points into money... wouldn't that be something?

9:41 am

EvaNadine

oh man, haz.

9:41 am

Judi

Oooh! In a perfect world, Haz.

9:42 am

Haz1558

I know. I know it's impossible but it's brought a smile to my face.

9:43 am

Judi

Or, we could do like the US government and just print more money!

9:44 am

Haz1558

And give a fancy financial explanation to justify it?

9:44 am

Judi

Nah, we'll just say "we're investing in our future!"

9:45 am

Judi

Clue for the et5, please?

9:45 am

Haz1558

Investing always sounds so much worthier than 'spending money'

9:45 am

Anniebrook

variant of needle case, judi

9:45 am

Haz1558

et5 - variation in spelling of the needlecase

9:45 am

Judi

Ah. Ty, Annie.

9:46 am

Judi

Might as well be turning water into wine.

9:48 am

Oh, Spangle has done that and is now snoring. Arranging the Paws is deadly tiring.

9:52 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, phaeton.

9:52 am

Atalante

ever so

9:54 am

Haz1558

Spangle had worrying yellow patches yesterday. I stopped worrying when I realised that she had rubbed up against lily pollen.

9:54 am

Judi

How sweet. She thinks she's a bee!

9:55 am

phaeton

9:55 am

looooool they do look a bit worrisome covered in pollen, don't they

9:55 am

9:56 am

Anniebrook

9:56 am

phaeton

thank you! Laundry calling me...happy babbling!

9:56 am

Judi

Pollen is worrisome right now. Every time someone sneezes, they think they have the flying pig flu.

9:57 am

Haz1558

Bye you two.

9:59 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm sure doctors are going to have their hands full over the next while, whatever happens. People here are being told to stay at home and ring their doctor rather than go to the surgery. Poor receptionists trying to calm fears.

9:59 am

Atalante

hobbit obviously had a snotty nose on the beach yesterday - she was rootling in the sand and ended up with sand caked al lover her nose. stayed there for ages

10:01 am

EvaNadine

*runs and tackles ata*

10:01 am

Judi

Any cases turned up in the UK yet, Haz? All of the cases reported in the states so far have been mild.

10:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, two confirmed cases in Scotland but they have recovered well. Tests going on in 5 people in south of Ireland.

10:02 am

Atalante

and 4 people in Wiltshire

10:02 am

Uniquity

Afternoon - the advice does make sense. The official line is DO NOT go to Dr or hospital, but call and have the doc right a prescription for you (without seeing them, mind you). Then the poor pharmacies will become the dangerous place to be.

10:03 am

Atalante

eeeeeeeeva!

10:03 am

Haz1558

And so it goes on...

10:03 am

magazinemom

gotta love our drive-thru pharmacies!

10:03 am

Haz1558

Ah, but we've been told to get a friend, without symptoms, to get the medication.

10:03 am

Judi

Hmmm. I think the big factor is going to be the standard of cleanliness in any particular country. Mexico (country of origin) is NOT known for its sanitary conditions.

10:04 am

magazinemom

precisely Judi, plus they do not have the access to the anti-viral medications we have

10:04 am

magazinemom

sate

10:04 am

Atalante

9 more mild cases in Scotland that associated with the 2 proper case people

10:04 am

magazinemom

oops! thats what happens whne you see a word and get excited LOL

10:05 am

Haz1558

The thought of a pandemic has always frightened me, mainly because of the statistics of 1918. Hopefully things have progressed a great deal in terms of control and medication.

10:05 am

Uniquity

I suppose then the friend could drop it off on your doorstep, ring the bell and run away. Oh my.

10:05 am

rururocks

i mumpfu humfph mumfu (talking through swine flu mask)

10:05 am

Atalante

could drop the sealed meds in a tray of disinfectant

10:06 am

Judi

Correct, magmom. Although, I believe the US and other countries have seen to it that Mexico now has ample supplies of drugs and testing materials. Now, if there antiquated health care system can see fit to distribute and test properly...

10:06 am

Uniquity

Thing is, I have slight hypochondriac tendencies, so the thought of a pandemic makes meoverly wary. I have to fight to not overblow things in my mind, and I keep my safety levels at the same as usual (being in the province that has mumps outbreaks all the time lately)

10:06 am

Haz1558

It does need to be taken seriously - the whole restriction of spread, I mean. However, panic is to be avoided!

10:06 am

Judi

And a good morning to you to, ruru.

10:07 am

rururocks

we will just keep up our routine of washing our hands thoroughly and using purell spray after going places

10:08 am

Judi

The one thing about it that piqued my fear is the fact that this particular strain of flu is a combo of human, bird and swine. It would seem that someone would have to deliberately engineer that. Either that, or Mother Nature is giving us all a good ear tweak.

10:08 am

magazinemom

my kids keep rolling their eyes and sighing at me, but being this close to TX, I'm being careful. They have hadn sanitizer in their backpacks

10:08 am

Uniquity

Yes, I've reada few articles that the death toll in Mexico from this is still rising and authorities in North America don't see why it is milder in NA. Is it really milder, or were we better prepared than others? We do live in an age of preparation for an outbreak of almost anything.

10:10 am

Judi

I just think we have higher standards of cleanliness, Uni. And, better health care.

10:11 am

EvaNadine

narrowing down the Mothers Day plant choices.
got it down to:
Gardenias, Rozaleas, Ranunculus, and Cyclamen.
im leaning toward the Ranunculus...
any input from our babble gardeners?

10:11 am

Atalante

and we have the foreknowledge of its existence, so can treat immediately

10:11 am

oodleberry

help with the re words re7 please

10:11 am

Judi

Also, there is more poverty in Mexico, therefore less people are able to afford to see a doctor when they are sick.

10:11 am

Uniquity

Eva, you and these plants!! :)

10:11 am

10:16 am

EvaN, Stid might be a good person to ask

10:16 am

I planted snapdragons, petunias, pansies, flox and some other orange flower (forgot name). Plus I bought a ton of basil and cilantro. YUM!

You're welcome - been on the receiving end, haven't you?

10:21 am

Judi

Yes. We owed the Fed about $500 this year. All paid. Still stewing.

10:22 am

Atalante

oh the joys of the Turner Prize. Cheers me up every year

10:22 am

Haz1558

It's not so bad if you can imagine the money being put to good use. What's rotten is knowing what they will do with it that you wouldn't want them to.

10:23 am

Haz1558

Is Turner a Turn off again? Who's won this time?

10:24 am

Judi

*shudders* Just paying down our debts now, so when the big tax hikes come, we'll be a little ahead of the game (famous last words).

Haz1558

Bye Annie.

10:28 am

Judi

Egad! Where does one find that much copper sulphate? Is he growing his own? Otherwise - I'm no art critic, but most of those selections look like CRAP to me.

10:29 am

Atalante

the whole point of the Turner Prize is to dig up the crappiest piece of non-art imaginable and laud it

10:29 am

Judi

Ah ha! Well then, perhaps I'm fit to judge.

10:31 am

Haz1558

It is the one time of year when people feel empowered to talk about contemporary art."
So says one of the judges. What he doesn't realise is that most people AREN'T being complimentary.

10:31 am

Judi

Snort. Gotta love the irony.

10:32 am

yep! its a real joke. and its taken sooo seriously in the modern art community

11:06 am

rururocks

11:07 am

rururocks

Thank you uni

11:07 am

Uniquity

There, firewords. You're welcome, Ruru.

11:08 am

stidmama

YAY Uni!

11:08 am

stidmama

I think I will take an hour and play... how's the grid?

11:08 am

Atalante

yay Uni!

11:08 am

Uniquity

Stiddy! As you are the gardening guru, I will repost Eva's flower question in the hopes you can help her...and the hopes that she will read your response. One sec.

11:09 am

Uniquity

The grid was rather lovely, really...

11:09 am

bichon

a sweet one today

11:10 am

Uniquity

EvaNadine: narrowing down the Mothers Day plant choices.
got it down to:
Gardenias, Rozaleas, Ranunculus, and Cyclamen.
im leaning toward the Ranunculus...
any input from our babble gardeners?

11:10 am

stidmama

not sure I am a gardening guru... but I know a weed from a veggie (usually)

11:10 am

stidmama

yes, already up to 27

11:10 am

EvaNadine

ahh! heres the stid-uru!

11:10 am

stidmama

ranunculas are nice plants, they like a sour soil (close relatives of buttercups)

11:10 am

stidmama

hello EvaN

11:11 am

stidmama

Is this for inside or outside?

11:11 am

EvaNadine

it will initially be inside + potted, but it will be transferred outside, hopefully

11:12 am

stidmama

gardenias don't do well very far north if they are outside (far north = much past los angeles); they are a tender plant

11:12 am

EvaNadine

mom is in Southern MD

11:12 am

stidmama

I don't know rozaleas. Ranunculas are sometimes used around here (very mild climate because of the puget sound effect which keeps most winter temps in the high 30s low 40s

11:13 am

stidmama

near water, EvaN?

11:13 am

EvaNadine

waterfront, yes

11:13 am

stidmama

My heart is saying cyclamen or ranunculas. let me check... brb

11:13 am

bleugirl2

I don't understand any of the 7's clues. Must be dense today.

11:14 am

EvaNadine

EN7 = en + what you put around a picture

11:14 am

stidmama

http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/ranun
culuses.html looks like a good resource for ranunculas

11:14 am

stidmama

back with more... brb

11:14 am

Kazozz

fireworks :)

11:15 am

stidmama

here is one on cyclamen http://articles.pointshop.com/landscap
ing/630.php

11:15 am

stidmama

YAY KAz!!!

11:16 am

Atalante

yay kaz

11:17 am

stidmama

is a rozalea an azalea???

11:17 am

stidmama

I really don't recommend gardenias for outside north of perhaps southern S.C. on the east coast, I think it will get too cold for it.

11:17 am

EvaNadine

from seeing it on the page, it looks like a hybrid of an azalea + a miniature rose

11:18 am

caitlyn

Good afternoon all.....

11:19 am

stidmama

okay, it's a type of azalea, it would probably do just fine. In our climate they like full sun because it's not sunny that often, but back east I think probably it will want at least part shade.

11:19 am

stidmama

it also likes a sour soil (acid), the same that blueberries and ranunculas enjoy.

11:19 am

stidmama

does that help?

11:20 am

aslindy

stid... do you get acid soil from pine needles?

11:20 am

Kazozz

anyone need clues before I go to class?

11:20 am

stidmama

yes, pine needles are a great mulch for plants that like sour soil; but be careful not to use them on things that don't...

11:21 am

stidmama

Kaz, I am sooooo clueless... rofl

11:21 am

EvaNadine

i think im gonna go with the Ranunculus. they seem like they would do well, and i think theyre gorgeous flowers.

thanks for the help, oh wise stid!

11:21 am

BzznBea

Azaleas like acid soil. That's why they grow well in NC. Lots of pines.

11:21 am

aslindy

thanks. I couldn't remember if pine made acid, or reduced acid. I knew it was one of the two.

11:21 am

stidmama

*grin* not sure how wise I am, but glad to help as I can.

11:22 am

caitlyn

I am going to throw a tantrum if no one says hello to me!! :)

11:22 am

stidmama

hello Bea!

11:22 am

BzznBea

Hey, stid.

11:22 am

aslindy

ooo, I wanna see the tantrum!!

11:22 am

aslindy

wait, no...

11:22 am

aslindy

hello caitlyn!

11:22 am

Atalante

hi cait!!!!

11:22 am

EvaNadine

im completely ignorant when it comes to plants.
i just know what i think it pretty.
i also know that i dont want to send my mom the same 2-3 different flowers every year...heh

11:22 am

stidmama

CAITLYN!!!!! *jumping up and down and hugging and throwing choclit right and left* HELLO!!!!!

11:23 am

stidmama

sorry, I was in my "virtual" garden...

11:23 am

caitlyn

LOL hello lindy
Hi stid!!

11:23 am

caitlyn

Hi Ata!!

11:23 am

aslindy

I grow a great crop of weeds every year!!! =)

11:24 am

stidmama

I am going to have veggies this year... at some point... I hope. *sigh* we have been SOOO busy!

11:24 am

caitlyn

Weeds are wild flowers lindy

11:24 am

Kazozz

ok off to get ready! tc all

11:24 am

caitlyn

Bye Kaz

11:24 am

stidmama

later KAz, have a wonderful day!

11:25 am

stidmama

I have NBT and almost halfway...

11:25 am

caitlyn

Ata are you having a break from studying now?

11:26 am

stidmama

yes, caitlyn, I decided to take an hour this morning. My back hurts (overpacked the bookbag yesterday) so I have to hold still.

11:27 am

stidmama

oops, sorry that was directed at Ata! LOL

11:27 am

aslindy

we get a great crop of lovely dandylions in our yard, also thistle plants taller than I am out behind our barn

11:27 am

stidmama

oh, I bet the chickadees love the thistles in the fall!

11:28 am

caitlyn

LOL the same question applies to you as well . try and rest your back stid

11:28 am

aslindy

lots of birds love thistle seed... but plants that big have huge spines - very pokey

11:28 am

stidmama

and you know that fresh dandelion greens are good salad greens -- but be sure it's a dandelion: needs to have a single large (carrot-like) root; things with dandy-like leaves and multiple roots are not tasty.

11:29 am

Atalante

I had a break last week, got to start new assignment now :)

11:29 am

aslindy

and dandelion wine, too

11:29 am

aslindy

never made it, nor had it, but heard it's good

11:30 am

caitlyn

Ata I hope you find it a bit easier than the last one

11:30 am

stidmama

I have never had dandelion wine either... I just know Ray Bradbury wrote a book (which I haven't read...)

11:30 am

Atalante

dandelion wine is lovely! cowslip wine too

11:30 am

Atalante

it's about cars. boring!

11:30 am

stidmama

cowslips are a type of primrose? hm. wine from primroses...

11:31 am

caitlyn

Very boring LOL

11:31 am

stidmama

cars do not interest me -- except to get me from point A to point B

11:31 am

caitlyn

I have missed out on those wines, my favourite though is sloe gin

11:32 am

Atalante

exacly!

11:32 am

stidmama

blech. gin. ewww. (it's piny)

11:32 am

Atalante

home-made sloe gin especially

11:32 am

Atalante

slow gin is a different kettle of fish, stid!

11:32 am

caitlyn

stid it doesnt taste of gin at all

11:32 am

aslindy

I agree... sloe gin is good, regular is nasty

11:33 am

Atalante

its sweet and sticky and yummy

11:33 am

stidmama

hm. *considers new information* well if I ever want to try a new hard liquor, I shall consider it.

11:34 am

stidmama

I don't drink much... I don't like the woozy feeling.

11:34 am

stidmama

okay, down to 59, listing.

11:35 am

CiociaJudy

*remembering how she got REALLY sick on sloe gin* haven't had it since!

11:35 am

11:36 am

CiociaJudy

11:36 am

EvaNadine

i was supposed to go outside for lunch today (sushi) but now im chained to the desk waiting on work to come my way that is supposed to be finished within the hour. :(

11:36 am

CiociaJudy

yuk Eva

11:37 am

stidmama

I like subs. I don't think I would like being chained to a desk

11:37 am

CiociaJudy

during my many work years, I have been "chained to a desk"; not fun!

11:38 am

EvaNadine

i SO want sushi.
and i SO want to eat lunch outside!

11:38 am

CiociaJudy

Hey, ata--never heard of homemade sloe gin.

11:38 am

Atalante

mmmmmmmmmm sushi

11:38 am

stidmama

I would like to have sushi -- all day long if I could afford it!

11:38 am

Atalante

homemade sloe gin is the easiest thing in the world to make

11:38 am

CiociaJudy

Used to drink sloe gin fizzes, Stid. You'd like it, I'm sure. But it is sweet.

11:39 am

stidmama

you know me, Judy -- sweet! LOL

11:39 am

CiociaJudy

ROFL, Stid

11:40 am

Atalante

fill a bottle 1/3 - 1/2 full of sloes, add sugar to taste (about 1/4 of a bottle for sweet) and fill with gin, Leave for 6 weeks or so. tada!

11:41 am

stidmama

I see "sloe" I think "sloth" ... ??? what's up with that?

11:41 am

CiociaJudy

there is actually something called "sloes"?? *how did I not know that after all these years?*

11:41 am

Atalante

they are like bitter little damsons

11:41 am

Atalante

damson gin is good too

11:41 am

CiociaJudy

11:43 am

stidmama

11:43 am

caitlyn

All this talk is making me thirsty!

11:43 am

fuquayvarina

I wonder if you could use sour cherries? We have a tree hanging over the fence from the neighbor's yard.

11:44 am

CiociaJudy

CiociaJudy

Hi Angelsong.

11:49 am

caitlyn

Hi Haz

11:50 am

stidmama

sure, the WA 7/44 is past tense "is" (shakespearean -- four letters) + first three letters of french for laugh (or maybe smile?)

11:50 am

Haz1558

Hello caitlyn!

11:50 am

stidmama

hello Haz!

11:50 am

car.eeyore

Well...I don't have the WA 5/18, so I will have to wait1

11:50 am

Atalante

did Mme la Spangletta have a nice walk?

11:51 am

Haz1558

11:55 am

Atalante

very sensible!

11:55 am

oodleberry

sorry had it... ty

11:55 am

Haz1558

It's not so much pain as searing discomfort.

11:56 am

stidmama

*grin* you oodles, causing a ruckus and then wandering off...

11:56 am

stidmama

*wondering whether to react to Haz's revelation*

11:56 am

caitlyn

Searing discomfort sounds like another way of saying pain

11:57 am

Haz1558

Those men who get their chests made hairless for charity earn their money.

11:57 am

Atalante

owie!

11:57 am

Haz1558

Pain lasts, searing discomfort is more of a shock to the system.

11:57 am

caitlyn

I agree Haz and once again ouch

11:58 am

car.eeyore

Clues for the lower left hand N? Need it for NBT. TY in advance!

Haz1558

Hello torgone.

12:02 pm

caitlyn

LOL Haz

12:03 pm

Haz1558

I see caitlyn threatened one earlier. You've got reinforcements now, we could all huff and puff about st8.

12:03 pm

Atalante

is a dog a quadrist8 then?

12:04 pm

Haz1558

'Raise your st8 in a toast....'

12:04 pm

caitlyn

I am in the right mood for a tantrum........all together now, stamp your fe4.....GO

12:04 pm

fuquayvarina

it sounds better on bridal registries, along with the flatwa4 and the hollowa4. it's a capitalist plot!

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Stamping and stomping.

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Yes that sounded good!

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Why not cutlery? And what is hollowwa4?

12:05 pm

car.eeyore

I need a clue for the second T word from the right column...I have the one who attempts.

12:05 pm

Atalante

cutlery is flatwa4 isn't it?

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Capitalist plots? Tantrums? Bridal registries? It sounds like there's mayhem aplenty here today!

12:05 pm

fuquayvarina

hollowa4 is teapots, creamers, coffeepots, serving bowls, etc.

12:06 pm

Atalante

how even more ridiculous!

12:06 pm

caitlyn

Hi Vi !!, you missed the chat about sloe gin

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Yes! Vi is here!

12:06 pm

car.eeyore

I get it! Things that are "hollow"1

12:06 pm

Vicuna

Most people seem to prefer their gin fast.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

tr7 - a three rowed rowing boat or something.

12:06 pm

caitlyn

LOL Vi

12:07 pm

fuquayvarina

right. it comes from when they were made by metalsmiths, and they distinguished the flatwa4 from the hollowa4

12:07 pm

Haz1558

tr7 - three letters meaning three, two letters for 'about', two letters for not you but **

12:07 pm

car.eeyore

TY!

12:07 pm

fuquayvarina

oh, thanks, haz, been looking for that one!

12:08 pm

I can provide the strawberry forks.

12:08 pm

But I've misplaced my asparagus tongs.

12:08 pm

caitlyn

I want to use my fingers

12:08 pm

Haz1558

I can provide the butter knives.

No problem, cait, but soup is a little hard that way.

caitlyn, you're letting the side down.

12:09 pm

caitlyn

I have the finger bowls

12:09 pm

caitlyn

LOL thats me Haz

12:09 pm

Haz1558

That's better.

12:10 pm

oodleberry

2nd so4 please

12:10 pm

Vicuna

Question of etiquette: should one or should one not remove one's tin foil hat while at the table?

12:10 pm

Atalante

depends if one is a lady or not!

12:11 pm

fuquayvarina

oodle, like the third so4 but with a different end vowel

12:11 pm

Vicuna

That's no lady; that's our caitlyn.

12:11 pm

torgone

The hat must be removed before approaching the table ..

12:11 pm

caitlyn

LOL Vi

12:11 pm

Haz1558

I think it depends on prevailing conditions and whether tinfoil hat alerts have been issued.

12:12 pm

Vicuna

Or approaching the bench during one's trial...

12:13 pm

Vicuna

Well, in that case, perhaps one should invest in a tin-foil lined wig, so as never to be without protection.

12:13 pm

oodleberry

there are only 2 vowels and they don,t work

12:13 pm

caitlyn

phone again.......back in a mo

12:13 pm

Haz1558

Good idea, Vi.

12:13 pm

fuquayvarina

first vowel

12:13 pm

Vicuna

It makes an odd crinkly sound on occasion, but oh well.

12:14 pm

Haz1558

so4 - as the familiar boy said to his mother 'So4/5, what's for tea?'

12:14 pm

oodleberry

not found in dictionary

12:14 pm

oodleberry

oh pooh

12:14 pm

fuquayvarina

do you have not all, but so4? change the end of that so4

12:14 pm

oodleberry

never mind

12:15 pm

Vicuna

Maybe you're missing the 3rd so4, too, oodle. Find it, and then try so4 more.

12:16 pm

fuquayvarina

do the two bottom E words use the high-value tile?

12:17 pm

oodleberry

no I wasn't I thought for some reason it was the last

12:17 pm

Haz1558

One does.

12:17 pm

Haz1558

The other is en7

12:17 pm

fuquayvarina

clue the other one, then? (braces for cold wet fish)

12:18 pm

Haz1558

en7 - to provide a decorative surrounding to a picture?

12:18 pm

fuquayvarina

thanks!

12:18 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Words words words.

12:20 pm

fuquayvarina

fewmets is so a word!!!

12:21 pm

Vicuna

As in, "There are fewmets on the Red Sox?"

12:21 pm

fuquayvarina

lol, vi. fewmets are dragon droppings! (or other animal droppings, I guess)

12:23 pm

Vicuna

Dunno about dragons, but sure enough on the other animals. Chalk up another failure to Enable.

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Can I register relief that dragon droppings are not regularly encountered by husband?

12:25 pm

fuquayvarina

oh, fewmets! time to do so4 actual work today! bye all and happy babbling!

12:25 pm

Vicuna

lol, Haz. I think dragon vet is a very specialized occupation.

12:25 pm

Haz1558

Bye fuquay.

12:25 pm

Vicuna

Bye, fuquay!

12:25 pm

Haz1558

Yes, I can't imagine that dragon breath would be better than dog breath.

12:26 pm

Vicuna

Particularly not without the asbestos mask.

12:26 pm

caitlyn

Back again, how can someone of 95 talk so much on the phone??

12:26 pm

Haz1558

Exactly. Protective gear would have to have a whole new redesign.

12:27 pm

Haz1558

Gosh, caitlyn, didn't realise you were that old! You're still very clear.

12:27 pm

caitlyn

That foil hat might come in handy though Vi

12:27 pm

caitlyn

Oh Ha Ha Haz very droll !!LOL

12:28 pm

bleugirl2

can someone give a different clue for TR7. i have the first 3 letters...

12:28 pm

Haz1558

I couldn't resist. I take it your mother was calling?

12:28 pm

caitlyn

No my hubbys aunty

12:28 pm

Vicuna

the last 4 letters sound like 500 sheets of paper.

12:29 pm

Haz1558

The next letters are the first in a word meaning to recall or to bring to mind.

12:29 pm

Atalante

I had an email from an old friend at uni, hadn't heard from him for years, and I was very impressed - he's now a vet in the royal vet corps!

12:29 pm

Vicuna

Does he specialize in dragons?

12:30 pm

Atalante

probably!

12:30 pm

caitlyn

LOL Vi
Thats nice to hear a blast from the past Ata

12:31 pm

Haz1558

Horses and dogs, I'll bet.

12:31 pm

oodleberry

sa5 10 please

12:31 pm

Atalante

12:31 pm

k21eyes

oodle...fixed gaze

12:31 pm

Haz1558

sa5/10 - a different spelling for the Indian lady's garb

12:31 pm

Vicuna

12:32 pm

k21eyes

12:35 pm

caitlyn

Im starting mine already

12:36 pm

CiociaJudy

between recuperating from the flu and a very crazy work schedule, just haven't done much with my e-mails.

12:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

no she is saying "you too"

12:36 pm

Haz1558

Stamping, stomping and holding breath?

12:36 pm

CiociaJudy

12:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:36 pm

caitlyn

Stamping loudly, I think the dog is getting frightened now

12:36 pm

bleugirl2

what is the S, 3rd one down

12:37 pm

CiociaJudy

not the swine flu, but let me tell you, whatever it was it took a long time to get back in the groove

12:37 pm

Haz1558

st5/10 - s plus what you do with a ball or with your hair if you're wanting attention.

12:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok why are we behaving like two year olds? i mean we usually maintian the early elmentary level...

12:38 pm

Haz1558

Good for you, caitlyn. That'll teach TO to send e-mails to other people and not to us.

12:38 pm

Haz1558

We are hurt. Hurt.

12:38 pm

caitlyn

Very very hurt

12:38 pm

Haz1558

We'll really sulk if pictures were involved.

12:38 pm

CiociaJudy

damn that flu and work! seems like i missed something the last two weeks. *glazed look*

12:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:38 pm

Atalante

12:39 pm

beachboggle

Hi guys! How is the grid today?

12:39 pm

Haz1558

Have you ever been more hurt, caitlyn?

12:39 pm

Haz1558

I don't think I've known hurt like it.

12:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hav ebeen on babbatical. they are getting more and more frequent.

12:39 pm

caitlyn

Probably Haz but I cant think of it now because of the pain

12:39 pm

Haz1558

Even when the wa5/28 had to re5/28.

12:39 pm

caitlyn

Hi beach

12:40 pm

Haz1558

Hello beach. Some people like it, some people don't.

12:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

lololol

12:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

re5/28????

12:40 pm

Haz1558

But you say that the internet might be to blame?

12:41 pm

Haz1558

re5/28 - when the first strip didn't remove enough hair....

12:41 pm

Atalante

internet? FM

12:41 pm

Haz1558

You wouldn't be using the internet as an excuse?

12:41 pm

CiociaJudy

LOVE that clue Haz!

12:41 pm

Haz1558

You're not trying to shift the blame?

12:42 pm

Haz1558

I'm still smarting, Ciocia.

12:42 pm

caitlyn

She would never do that Haz

12:42 pm

Atalante

how can anything be to blame apart from FM?

12:42 pm

oodleberry

i have 1132 more T's to find...

12:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't know i am naturally hairless ;)

12:42 pm

caitlyn

12:42 pm

Haz1558

Trust Ata to bring us back to the truth of the matter.

12:42 pm

oodleberry

yes ma'am

12:42 pm

hjst

I take it when you pay for your account there is usually some delay before the change takes effect on the site?

12:43 pm

oodleberry

did you just do it?

12:43 pm

hjst

aye

12:43 pm

Haz1558

hjst - you need to log out and log back in. And then put in whatever you want in your profile. If you're George Clooney, do feel free to put a photo in.

12:43 pm

CiociaJudy

what can I do to make it up to you, Haz?

12:43 pm

bleugirl2

WA 7? i didn't understand the earlier clue

12:44 pm

bleugirl2

12:44 pm

12:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:44 pm

oodleberry

12:44 pm

CiociaJudy

OMG, Cait!!! I'll send you 100 e-mails--will that help?

12:44 pm

caitlyn

Or Placido Domingo

12:44 pm

Haz1558

Never mind John Barrowman.

12:45 pm

CiociaJudy

or a Chippendale . . .

12:45 pm

caitlyn

That may start to make me feel better judy

12:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

so what do you all think of susan boyle's makeover?

12:45 pm

Haz1558

wa7 clued just before your request, TO. Look back.

12:45 pm

CiociaJudy

she got a makeover? I thought she said she wasn't going to do that.

12:45 pm

Atalante

Never mind that Clooney guy

12:46 pm

Haz1558

I'm happy if she's done what she wants to make herself feel better. She'll still have the same singing voice and that's what counts.

12:46 pm

caitlyn

Oh Ata, must tell you my granddaughters choir is singing with JB in Oct in Cardiff

12:46 pm

bleugirl2

there is one more 7, i am not sure which oen i am missing. i have RE, EN, WA, TR

12:46 pm

caitlyn

Im glad she has had it done

12:46 pm

Haz1558

She's had her hair cut and eyebrows attended to. Nothing that dramatic.

12:46 pm

Atalante

oh wow!!

12:46 pm

CiociaJudy

tw7 bleu

12:46 pm

ch1212

TO, I appreciated that she looked so much like me :D, but I completely understand why she wanted to have the makeover. She obviously has great self esteem, but who would turn down the chance for a new fun look? Not me.

12:47 pm

oodleberry

tw7 wa7 please

12:47 pm

ch1212

My hope would be she elected to do it because SHE wanted to, not because she thought she should.

12:47 pm

Haz1558

wa7 - wa plus the feature that makes a zebra conspicuous, but take out the p.

12:47 pm

CiociaJudy

tw7 - think duo but different vowel + so4/5

12:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

a new look can be fun. and refreshing, too

12:48 pm

caitlyn

I dont think she has much self esteem ch, she has had advice to have this change

12:48 pm

Haz1558

I agree, ch1212. Why shouldn't she get her hair cut if she wanted to?

12:49 pm

Haz1558

Anyway, kitchen calls, so I'd better attend to food. Bye!

12:49 pm

CiociaJudy

bye, Haz.

12:49 pm

bleugirl2

12:49 pm

I hope not caitlyn - I had heard the judges and audience told her not to change.

Wow, 1 left! Go!

3:15 pm

Roses6

I'm sure it's already been clued, but anyone able to help me with the tw 7/48?

3:16 pm

Atalante

a scottish version of a pair

3:16 pm

torgone

Like a couple - tw***** with a diff. 1st vowel

3:18 pm

Roses6

thank you! I kept trying that but it wasn't taking. I was misspelling it. tried googling scottish pair, found out that a scottish pair has swine flu.

3:18 pm

Roses6

Learn the strangest things in this game...

3:19 pm

Atalante

yes, they do!

3:21 pm

Roses6

I thought they are still waiting to find out.

3:21 pm

Roses6

I hope they don't, or else recover fast.

3:22 pm

Atalante

they've been diagnosed, and are recovering

3:22 pm

Atalante

9 people they've been in contact with have slight flu symptoms too

3:23 pm

Roses6

A lot of fear around this, but from what I understand this flu is similar others, so if you're not really old or really young, you're likely do be OK.

3:23 pm

Atalante

well actually, this flu is hitting the healthy people. young and old are doing better than 16 - 40 year olds

3:24 pm

Roses6

I just hate the surge of fear, spurred by the media.

3:24 pm

Atalante

ick yes

3:25 pm

Roses6

It's bad enough being sick without being scared too.

3:25 pm

torgone

Seriously. Thousands of people die from flu every year ..

3:26 pm

torgone

How about declaring a state of emergency over AIDS or drunk driving?

3:27 pm

Atalante

absolutely

3:27 pm

Roses6

I agree - much bigger problems, much better to marshall our energies to change that!

3:28 pm

Roses6

Meanwhile, back here on the grid, any clues for the 2nd ra 5/12, or the ra 6/21?

3:28 pm

Atalante

absolutely

3:29 pm

Atalante

*just repeats absolutely at random intervals*

3:29 pm

Mandykins

Okay, there is only one of these, I checked...could someone clue the ta5/18?

3:29 pm

Atalante

ta + I wish I ***e a fairytale princess

3:30 pm

Roses6

ra 6/21? Please? Getting so close it hurts...

3:31 pm

Mandykins

*sigh.* Thank you. I would not have tried that.

3:31 pm

Atalante

it's a plural of ra5/12 = ra + ***ropolitan

3:32 pm

Atalante

remember it, it appears quite a lot!

3:32 pm

Roses6

Thank you so much! I monkeyed around for ever and didn't stumble on that!

3:32 pm

Roses6

OK, I'll assign it a prominent place in my babble memory file. ;-)

3:33 pm

Roses6

Now I can finally get some food and move on to the day. Anyone want a few clues before I go?

3:34 pm

Atalante

food - what a nice idea!

3:34 pm

Mandykins

fi6/42...last one, and I can't figure it out. Help?

3:35 pm

Atalante

the third letter should be obvious from the points - the rest is the past tense is what you do with food

3:35 pm

sammysmom

ra 5/12??

3:36 pm

Atalante

just clued one. the other is one letter different

3:36 pm

Roses6

fi 6/42: repair plus pt of eat

3:37 pm

Mandykins

Done! I want to thank all of you who got me here--thank you for your patience and great clues...*lifting statue*...Wow, these things ARE heavy! :)

3:37 pm

Atalante

*grins* yay Mandy!

3:37 pm

Roses6

re + re6/21 minus the last letter

3:38 pm

Roses6

Oops meant to type ra + me5/12 minuse the last letter.

3:38 pm

Roses6

Typing going to the dogs.

3:39 pm

Mandykins

I managed to "infect" 2 other newbies with The Babble Germ this week. Now I can brag to them!

3:39 pm

Atalante

excellent!

3:39 pm

sammysmom

thanks for the ra clue- thought i had tried that one- ..

3:39 pm

Roses6

Lucky! I haven't confessed this to anyone yet. But it won't be long before I'm caught, I spend so much time here.

3:40 pm

Roses6

You're welcome.

6:37 pm

aknitter

oh man spelling is off tonight

6:37 pm

aknitter

HEY!

6:37 pm

Bugsaw

I went on afield trip climbing a mountain with 14 year old kids and fell on my butt on the way down.

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

embarassing, so I only tape it when I get home

6:38 pm

aknitter

well mistake #1 climbing up onto anything other than a lounge chair. mistake #2 trying to keep up with teens

6:39 pm

Bugsaw

Actually I was trying to get out of the way as they came bounding down the rocks like mountain goats!

6:40 pm

aknitter

creates quite a picture!

6:41 pm

Bugsaw

It was until the old lady slammed onto her butt and wacked her arm on the rocks. . . I don't know how hard they laffed later but they were polite then It helped my pride

6:42 pm

aknitter

i amsure you will be the subject of many stories for years to come -- lovingly told of course

6:43 pm

Bugsaw

Now I am really embarassed!!!

6:45 pm

aknitter

nahh i am the subject of many scout stories the kids still tell years later and they love every minute of it as do i - great memories

6:46 pm

Bugsaw

I was a Beaver leader with my youngest son and that was real fun. Being a Cub leader was too much work so I never became a Scout leader

6:47 pm

Bugsaw

I admire you energy

6:48 pm

aknitter

i did it all the way up ( and still am a leader) for teens they are my fav age group. my daughter will graduate this year and the rest of the girls are hoping i will stay

6:49 pm

Bugsaw

I only had boys so I was not able to leave the house until the youngest was in Scouting. The others loved it so much it made sense to repay what other people had given to my boys.

6:50 pm

Bugsaw

I hope you can stay even when your daughter has left. It is a remarkable legacy

6:51 pm

9:40 pm

i must admit, i have no clue as to what a burger doodle is.

9:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

s'up, trifioso!!

9:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have a misty memory of it being a "fake brand" from a tv ad -- obnoxious character to family: "we could go to burgle doodle and eat in the car!"

9:42 pm

crosshair

gwen..is rebinding an old book an expensive thing? i have a volume here its a nurses guide to home care for invalids from 1900 and its a real pretty thing with rice paper covering illistrated pictures etc but the binding is cooked

9:42 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cross, the short answer is yes. could be about $50 to $100.

9:42 pm

crosshair

the edge of the book is 3 inches arcoss and 950 pages:/

9:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i can recommend a good binder if you want to go there

9:43 pm

lbdawger

from 1900, sounds like 50-100 would be a bargain

9:43 pm

crosshair

the illistrations are beautiful

9:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

a serious collector might not value it as much after it has been rebound, however. that actually lowers the resale value.

9:44 pm

crosshair

why did they use the thin rice paper overtop of the pictures gwen?

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

on the other hand, the general rule for whether a medical book is "collectible" is over 100 years, and *that* you have

9:44 pm

torgone

It doesn't stick ..

9:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the rice papers are called "guards" -- they are there to prevent ink transfer from the ills to the facing pages

9:45 pm

lbdawger

rice paper over the pictures, usually to keep them from being scratched

9:45 pm

crosshair

i love the way they use opium for everything;))

9:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

certain old methods of printing illustrations were notorious for "offset" -- meaning the ink starts bleeding into the facing page

9:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hey, opiun is good stuff. it got outlawed for reasons other than medical ones, ya know

9:46 pm

jmcnrick

is that a personal preference crossy?

9:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

imagine if tylenol were suddenly outlawed. we woulsd be criminals for something that was perfectly okay yesterday.

9:47 pm

crosshair

lol lots of reference to "laudulum"

9:47 pm

shdybr8

9:53 pm

Jacula

Gwen - I worked in the printing and publishing industry in the early 70s through to the late 80s. I saw the machinery change not much until just as I was leaving and computerised stuff arrived. A bit late really, since I worked for a firm who sold computerised accounting systems.

9:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i recently got an unbound book bound. publishing in an unbound state, that is. only cost USD65. leather spine and corners, marbled boards, very pretty

9:54 pm

shdybr8

dad makes up for it though, when will spring come to you?

9:54 pm

tygerbryght

9:54 pm

lbdawger

9:54 pm

9:54 pm

9:55 pm

tygerbryght

9:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

tyger, i state again that putting on a new binding might lower the value to some collectors. but it's your book, so your decision

9:55 pm

lbdawger

crossy, are you sure you mean hairy and not horny?

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

lbd!

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:56 pm

crosshair

9:56 pm

tygerbryght

te6: add comparative to preceding te4

9:56 pm

lbdawger

I exagerate just a tinge...we might get spring by late May. then the blazing sun will scorch us or the fires will til September

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:00 pm

10:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:02 pm

Jacula

Climate change IS happening, tyger, but I'm still not convinced that it's down to us (makind) rather than the natural course of things.

10:02 pm

lbdawger

we have, winter, late winter, potholes and fire season, we used to have tourist season, but we couldn't hunt them so got rid of it.

10:02 pm

tygerbryght

that's why so many Michiganders drive pickups, gwen :P

10:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

600,000 years of CO2 measurements don't convince you? OMG

But, even so, we should not waste or spoil anything given in our wonderful planet.

10:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:05 pm

Jacula

But not as fast as the warming up of the oceans is killing the coral reefs, Tyger.

10:05 pm

tygerbryght

and then there are the fishing vessels that catch sharks, cut off their fins, and dump them back to die of oxygen deprivation

10:05 pm
