flosey

hello - late flip, fell asleep waiting!

12:21 am

Pinikula

hi flosey :)

12:22 am

dart001

hi all...another late flipper

12:22 am

Pinikula

hi dart ;)

12:22 am

TraderKate

knut...you here?

12:22 am

knutmeg

Yeah

12:23 am

TraderKate

should ni call on her cell or room phone? don't have her cell number

12:23 am

dart001

hi pini

12:23 am

Pinikula

been there, done that myself, flosey!

12:23 am

knutmeg

room phone is fine, but she has her cell with her, so that works too.

12:24 am

TraderKate

i have a 327 # for her

12:24 am

knutmeg

that is the cell she has with her.

12:24 am

knutmeg

so go ahead and use that one

12:25 am

TraderKate

the 327 # i have for her, is that the cell #?, would it be cheaper for her if i called on the room phone? they won't charge her for a call in room will they?

12:26 am

TraderKate

okay calling now

12:26 am

knutmeg

the 327 number is her cell number, which she has with her. They should charge her for calls into the room, so that should work, too. It is only calls out they charge for (so far as I know).

12:27 am

knutmeg

should not. I'm obviously too tired to type. >.<

Pinikula

glutton for punishment, are you, granny?

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

hi 6/21; ch 6/27

1:29 am

anike

That's a pity. Will you still go anyway and just park up and watch?

1:30 am

TraderKate

you'll probably know yourself in a week, it'll give you a good idea of how far you've come since the operation

1:30 am

grannyrose

usually pretty quick, kate. but this lot was definitely more painful.last year after the ORIF i was walking reasonably well at 3 weeks

1:30 am

Just1Mar

no not surgery, but crushed my heel, couldn't walk for 3 months and all muscles and tendons in my ankle and foot atrophied

1:30 am

Just1Mar

TraderKate

1:34 am

anike

Actually, granny, I am leaving Perth Mon. 5th and will be at the Island for 12 days. My son is doing a ride day the week earlier because he hasn't been travelling east this year.

Just1Mar

she's a very quiet lovely young woman...we should be okay (I hope)

1:36 am

grannyrose

worms biting kate?

1:36 am

Just1Mar

just wish we were going into spring/summer rather than fall/winter :(

1:37 am

grannyrose

it can be difficult living with another woman who's set in her own ways.

1:38 am

Just1Mar

It'll be fine in that sense granny...like I said she's really a fine young woman and it's the least we can do to help them out to save money

1:38 am

grannyrose

understand, just. it's lovely of you to help them this way.

1:39 am

Just1Mar

They want to move to her home province of BC but my son has not been able to get a job there yet....her family is there....and so they want to be able to save to get out there and have a nest egg

1:39 am

Just1Mar

he's my only child....how can I now do whatever I can do to help him (them) fulfill their dreams, even if it means them living 5000km away :(

1:40 am

Just1Mar

*not*

1:41 am

rbud

maybe you can go with 'em, Just? - my ma moved here after I did, and I'm glad of it

1:41 am

grannyrose

that will be very hard for you, i see that. but then, think of the lovely holidays youcan have when you visit.

1:42 am

Just1Mar

lol rbud...maybe...but first I must let them get out there...but i did tell them that wherever they move, they better get a 2 bedroom place!!! or else I'll killl them! lol

1:42 am

grannyrose

i guess i'm fortunate in that none of mine have moved very far from me. in fact we all still live in the same town, big as it is

1:43 am

Just1Mar

yeah granny... plus our best friends live out there too...

1:43 am

Just1Mar

yes granny that is lucky!

1:43 am

grannyrose

well, maybe there is something in what rbud says!

1:43 am

Just1Mar

well at least I'll have them REALLY close by, lol for a while

1:44 am

Just1Mar

hubby still has his business here and we need the income...so can't really see moving out there at least in the near future

1:45 am

rbud

in fact, today (Sat.) is Mom's b-day, she's 79 now, passed her driver's license test with flying colors, said she'd never had to take the driving part before and had been nervous about it.

1:45 am

Just1Mar

plus we have our home that we've lived in for 30 years now

1:45 am

grannyrose

one never knows what's around the corner, just.

1:46 am

rbud

Yes, that would make it more difficult, Just, it's true.

1:46 am

Just1Mar

wow rbud...how wonderful is that!

1:46 am

Just1Mar

that's true granny, one never knows.....

1:46 am

grannyrose

wow, rud. that's terrific of her. tell her well down from me.

1:46 am

grannyrose

* rbud *

1:47 am

grannyrose

and * done *.

1:47 am

rbud

gonna take Mom to a local historical site, we've both been saying for years that we should go, we live right near it, after all. A stop on the Underground Railway.

1:47 am

Just1Mar

If I'm still alive at 79, I better be able to drive too....I wasn't able to drive for 6 months from Jan to June....this year and what a bitch that was

1:47 am

grannyrose

sorry, fingers getting cold, going to turn heating up

1:48 am

Just1Mar

go get warm granny...at least you got summer coming on....we got our horrible winter coming on :(

1:48 am

rbud

I've got my little blanket on, granny, it's chilly here, too - definitely a bit of fall in the air

1:49 am

Just1Mar

yep here too...only 7 celcius

1:49 am

Just1Mar

7c is about high 40's low 50's f

1:50 am

Just1Mar

are you in chigaco rbud?

1:51 am

Just1Mar

err chicago I mean

1:51 am

rbud

No, about 150 mi. SW of chicago.

1:52 am

Just1Mar

so it must be milder and not lake winds?

1:52 am

Just1Mar

for the longest time, for some reason, I thought you lived on the west coast...

1:53 am

rbud

little town 40 mi. N of Peoria, up the river. About 450 people. Nope, no lake winds. Pretty here, lots of hills, trees and little lakes. Not cornfields like most of the area around.

1:53 am

Just1Mar

so your mother moved there from where?

1:54 am

grannyrose

just, we have had the weirdest dat weather wise. full sun, pelting rain, plus lots of hail. well, what they say about melbourne weather is true.

1:54 am

grannyrose

if you don't like the weather here, wait 5 minutes!!!!

1:54 am

Just1Mar

hail sucks ....we don't get much of that here but then the winter storms suck too

1:55 am

Just1Mar

lol

1:55 am

rbud

Mom was married to some jerk in Arkansas, she moved down there from Missouri to be with him, but divorced him after he got mean, came to live with us. Has moved out, had a job, married again and outlived that one since then. Lives alone nearby.

1:55 am

Just1Mar

that sounds like how my mother used to describe the seasons here in Montreal....there is winter and July!

1:56 am

grannyrose

we have had a decent fall of snow in the ski resorts as well, which hopefully will melt and run into our water storage areas

1:56 am

rbud

lol, here it's winter, tornado season, summer, tornado season again, and repeat!

1:57 am

grannyrose

at least we don't have tornadoes * touch wood *

1:58 am

Just1Mar

we have had a tornado or 2 but that's not really a threat

1:58 am

rbud

we've been lucky all these years, one town about 12 miles away got nearly leveled a few years back. *knocking on wood here, too*

1:59 am

Just1Mar

it's the blinding raging snowstorms and wind chills that'll kill you here

1:59 am

grannyrose

have you seen the news reports of the dust storm in new south wales and queensland?

1:59 am

Pinikula

2:02 am

Pinikula

2:02 am

grannyrose

nah, pini, just our usual 1:59 gremlin

2:02 am

Just1Mar

Australia is such a strange land (geographywise)

2:02 am

Pinikula

2:03 am

grannyrose

2:03 am

Pinikula

Just1Mar

2:05 am

Pinikula

2:05 am

Just1Mar

oh no....poor andree...she's certainly had her share of stress lately :(

2:05 am

rbud

yes, I remember Andree saying she was going to go open the office though she didn't relish driving through the dust.

2:06 am

Just1Mar

plus all the bs that jc seems to have heaped upon her :(

2:06 am

rbud

Oh, yay, finally got a un word for nbt - and still not halfway.

I think jc heaped it on himself, mostly, if you know what I mean! ;)

2:07 am

Pinikula

i hit 1/2-way and then listed...still don't have NBT

2:08 am

grannyrose

uh, uh, just. let's leave that sleeping dog alone. i don't agree with what he did, or the way he spoke to andree. but i think it's better to leave it lie.

2:08 am

Pinikula

does that mean I should be paying more attention to the Tile Stats? :)

2:08 am

Just1Mar

lol yeah...re jc....but the whole thing is (was) so needless and senseless and just plain dumb

2:08 am

grannyrose

agreed

2:10 am

Just1Mar

I am so grateful (in my old age) to just live in a wonderful free country, that provides medical care for all....I have no patience for these stupid people who should "get a fking life"

2:10 am

grannyrose

Just1Mar

2:19 am

Just1Mar

I'm surprised you don't express that lenght in metres granny...aren't you Aussies on the metric system, like us and most of the world?

2:20 am

Just1Mar

(although I still know feet and yards better than meters)

2:20 am

grannyrose

just, what can i say? i'm an old-fashioned girl. i grew up with feet and inches, and that i'm afraid, is where i'm gonna stay

2:21 am

Just1Mar

me too granny but I do okay in celcius lol

2:21 am

grannyrose

besides, 12 feet sounds better than a lousy 4 metres

2:21 am

Just1Mar

and kilometers too

2:22 am

Just1Mar

yeah hate metres and ml's...still into cups and quarts

2:23 am

grannyrose

now here's the strange bit. because of my job, i work very comfortably in mls and litres. go figure

2:23 am

Just1Mar

can handle celcius for the weather but not for oven temps lol

2:24 am

grannyrose

drinks time, bbs

2:24 am

Just1Mar

2:24 am

Just1Mar

2:56 am

justafreep

I'm back just to say goodnight!

2:56 am

hurshy

31 minutes, is that a record??

2:57 am

lynxxx

hi/Goodbye

2:57 am

lynxxx

I'm impressed

2:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:58 am

lynxxx

morning Haz

2:58 am

hurshy

hey there haz, welcome to a pretty hideous grid!

2:58 am

Haz1558

Thank you, hurshy. 31 minutes is impressive, indeed.

2:59 am

hurshy

i mean in sudoku people go hours... but in babble? wow.

3:00 am

Haz1558

Sudoku, as in the online one, seems much more solitary than babble. People report once they've finished rather than commenting during the torment.

3:01 am

hurshy

which is why i feel the need to sometimes insert random comments or sing songs

3:02 am

hurshy

i'm totally helpless with this Z today... and the C's, ugh

3:02 am

Haz1558

And are you appreciated for your efforts? Do they down numbers and join in?

3:02 am

hurshy

sometimes!

3:02 am

hurshy

one time we did free association and it lasted a whole day i think

3:03 am

Haz1558

That must be heartening. Nothing worse than a solo sing song. Ask Vicuna.

3:03 am

hurshy

lol

3:03 am

Haz1558

Better still, ask her audience.

3:03 am

hurshy

*cymbal crash*

3:04 am

Haz1558

Exactly!

3:05 am

hurshy

i might be able to find more french words than english in this grid

3:06 am

Haz1558

It is pretty well stocked with the less well known words in the English language.

3:08 am

hurshy

i'm going to temporarily throw in the towel, i think. staring at this at 4 in the morning is not the most fun thing i've ever done.

3:08 am

Haz1558

I think you're probably wise. It's a strange one, even in the cold light of day.

3:09 am

hurshy

hopefully i'll see you later! have fun!

3:09 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, I didn't know the name for the secluded part of a house where Indian women and children stay. That gives you an idea of what you're up against!

3:09 am

Haz1558

Sleep wel, maybe see you later.

3:09 am

lynxxx

bye Hursh

3:10 am

hurshy

oh my. i don't suppose that's ra5/20? if so, i happened to find it.

3:10 am

hurshy

bye!!

3:10 am

Haz1558

No, ze6 and ze7.

3:10 am

hurshy

aHA!

3:10 am

hurshy

ok, bye!!!!

3:10 am

Haz1558

Bye!

3:14 am

hi everyone

3:14 am

Hello, Andree!

3:14 am

lynxxx

hi Andree

3:16 am

Andree

this is a sticky one

3:18 am

Haz1558

It isn't easy, that's for sure. I've made use of morewords and the list. That alternative isn't worth thinking about.

3:18 am

lynxxx

Snow hail and rain in Victoria; more dust in Sydney and firs in Queenland...big country aren't we

3:18 am

Haz1558

*the alternative.

3:18 am

lynxxx

Not having much joy either

3:18 am

Haz1558

The alternative features me bald with fingers worn to stumps.

3:19 am

grannyrose

back again, anyone need clues?

3:19 am

Andree

the dust came , not pleasant but not nearly as bad, it had to happen, went to the carwash yesterday

3:19 am

Haz1558

I'm okay, thanks, granny.

3:20 am

Andree

hi rose, you must be sick of that wheelchair by now

3:20 am

lynxxx

wb Rose. Saw your comment about 12 feet - ! well done. Do you have any hardware on?

3:20 am

grannyrose

totally and utterly, andree

3:21 am

grannyrose

lyn, have to wear the yucky camwalker9 device of the devil)

3:21 am

Haz1558

You should think like Pollyanna, granny, and be glad that you have it. I hated Pollyanna, you could never have a good moan with her around.

3:21 am

grannyrose

and use a walking frame, can't use crutches, no sense of balance

3:22 am

grannyrose

lol, haz.would you believe i read that.... you can't have a good man

3:24 am

grannyrose

* sigh * i know.but look at the bright side, himself is now fully aware of everything i used to do around here, 'cos he has to do it at the present. * huge grin *

3:25 am

Andree

3:25 am

Haz1558

I have a fridge magnet that says, 'Nobody notices what I do until I don't do it.' It's true!

3:25 am

grannyrose

yes haz, very true!!!!

3:26 am

lynxxx

That is very true!

3:26 am

Haz1558

And to be honest, I think you just go ahead and do things without thinking of them as jobs, it's so ordinary that you don't notice what you're doing.

3:28 am

grannyrose

lyn, do you know how long it usually is until a person can walk after this sort of surgery?

3:28 am

Haz1558

You're not thinking of breaking records, granny?

3:29 am

lynxxx

ummm - 3.5 months?

3:29 am

grannyrose

just wondering.after a while you begin to think that perhaps one is malingering....

3:29 am

grannyrose

just wondering.after a while you begin to think that perhaps one is malingering....

3:30 am

grannyrose

oops, hiccup. sorry.

3:30 am

Haz1558

The fact that you want to be up and about shows that you're not malingering.

3:30 am

lynxxx

Oh was that a serious question? I really wouldn't have a clue!

3:30 am

Andree

malinger on rose, these things can't be rushed

3:30 am

Haz1558

You don't strike me as the 'enjoying ill health' type.

3:30 am

grannyrose

like your style andree.....

3:30 am

lynxxx

I agree with Andree, the last thing you want to do is muck it up

3:31 am

Andree

3:31 am

grannyrose

3:32 am

lynxxx

3:32 am

Haz1558

Healing takes time. Even Pollyanna would be advising you to take it easy.

3:32 am

grannyrose

3:33 am

Andree

I am very casual and hate "dressing up" like a lady. Yuk to panty hose, skirts, etc

5:11 pm

LOL. I hope I'll never have to be that brave!

5:38 pm

crosshair

5:39 pm

Scrabbler

ch6 please?

5:39 pm

crosshair

bravery is holding on to courage for a just a moment longer

5:39 pm

moshemoo

Well Street gonna have to leave you as the only newbie on here as im admitting defeat on 76 words & 996 points. It's 11.35pm in England waaayyy past my bedtime, plus i dont feel so good my throat is sore- think i must be coming down with something. So good night all

5:40 pm

street spirit

Exactly...I think everyone has a very false perception of bravery. Enduring something like that takes a lot more courage than the flashy acts of valour we see in the films...

5:40 pm

street spirit

As the last Brit and the last newbie, I must succeed! Night Mosh :)

5:40 pm

crosshair

the bravest people i know are the average people

crosshair

5:44 pm

crosshair

anyways enough of that doom and gloom..lets babble!!!

5:44 pm

street spirit

I've spent enough time in hospital to know exactly what you mean :)

5:45 pm

street spirit

Now WHAT is the en5?!

5:45 pm

Enomis65

scrabbler: an African plant, Cyperus esculentus sativus, of the sedge family, having a tuberous, edible root.

5:45 pm

gwenski

scrabs, rhymes with the thing you can use to exfoliate.

5:45 pm

gwenski

street: en5 is boredom

5:46 pm

street spirit

D'oh. Thanks Gwen :)

5:46 pm

gwenski

ha 5/12? please.

5:47 pm

Scrabbler

Of course, Enomis. How did I miss that one? TY

oops, wrong one!

5:47 pm

5:49 pm

gwenski

Bye scrabbler.

5:49 pm

street spirit

Then the ha5/12 is the big empty box I have. Sigh..

5:49 pm

Enomis65

lol scrabbler

5:50 pm

gwenski

Besides that one, I'm stuck on the 3rd an5/10. I think I've tried every possible combo, but apparently have missed one.

5:50 pm

Enomis65

add a vowel to the an 4 before

5:51 pm

gwenski

I think that's the 4th one, Enomis

5:53 pm

Enomis65

plural of 4,4 then?

5:53 pm

gwenski

D'oh! It was a stinkin' plural!!

5:53 pm

Enomis65

:)

5:54 pm

gwenski

Now all I need is the elusive ha5/12.

5:54 pm

gwenski

YAY

5:55 pm

street spirit

Got it, Gwen?!

5:55 pm

gwenski

Reminded me of Gretel's friend.

5:55 pm

Enomis65

hard to clue, here is the definition: a company or guild of merchants in a northern European medieval town.

5:55 pm

gwenski

Yep. Finally. Thanks everyone.

5:56 pm

street spirit

Bravo :)

5:56 pm

gwenski

5:58 pm

Enomis65

5:58 pm

street spirit

Three left! Thanks to your clue

5:58 pm

gwenski

Yay Enomis!

5:58 pm

Enomis65

Enomis65

anybody needs a clue before I go

5:59 pm

street spirit

Nice one, Enomis :) anything for the first no6 would be appreciated!

6:00 pm

Enomis65

negation + something you use when you are too hot in the house

6:00 pm

Enomis65

the second one is the same except for the last letter

6:01 pm

street spirit

Oh...OH. Thank you so much :)

6:02 pm

gwenski

Can we help with the others?

6:02 pm

Enomis65

anything else?

6:02 pm

Enomis65

gwen love your dogs!

6:02 pm

street spirit

Hm, two left...my stubbornness is getting the better of me!

6:03 pm

gwenski

Thanks. The black & white was just returned to Hawaii this week. My son should be back there early next week. (He's been deployed to Iraq since Nov.)

6:04 pm

Enomis65

oh, this must be so hard for you" I bet he'll be happy to be back and see his dog ;)

6:04 pm

gwenski

Come on street, we want to help! Let that stubbornness go!!

6:04 pm

Enomis65

street, we're behind you g go go

6:04 pm

gwenski

He will be happy to see his dog, and happier to see his wife and 2 1/2 yr old son.

6:05 pm

street spirit

But so close, sooo close..

6:05 pm

Enomis65

Oh yes! this such a selfless job - so hard and yet so rewarding for those who choose it

6:06 pm

gwenski

But this puzzle is so tough, so tough...

6:06 pm

street spirit

Fiiiiireworks :D

6:06 pm

gwenski

CONGRATS!

6:06 pm

Enomis65

If it will make this headache go away?

7:16 pm

Minveryork

I'm sorry to hear about the headache stidmama. The grid isn't too much of a headache though fortunately

7:16 pm

Shivs Fitz

Decapitation may be in order.

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

((Shiv))--our brains are similar.

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

*gobbling up dark choclit* TY, Stid

7:16 pm

stidmama

LOL any time, cousin! how's your lovely long weekend going?

7:17 pm

Shivs Fitz

I seem to get them more in low pressure.

7:17 pm

Shivs Fitz

You two are cousins?

7:17 pm

stidmama

yep. sorta -- I married her cousin.

7:17 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Shiv. My father = brother of her father-in-law.

7:17 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh! Who introduced who to this?

7:18 pm

stidmama

we sorta met here, shivs -- tom and scrabs hadn't seen each other in at least 40 years.

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

I stumbled upon this site, recognized the Stid name and found Stidmama!

7:18 pm

lbdawger

hi stid, hi scrabs (whispers so not to cause more head pain)

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, by the way, I finished!

7:18 pm

stidmama

opposite sides of the country, you know --

7:18 pm

stidmama

YAY scrabbler!

7:18 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hooooooo SCRABS!!1

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

Hi dawger.

7:19 pm

stidmama

I don't think I am going to finish this one. I am feeling surprisingly unmotivated.

7:19 pm

Shivs Fitz

You were both on here and found each other?

7:19 pm

Shivs Fitz

Funny!

7:19 pm

nrkii

hi all!

7:19 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Scrabbler on fireworks!Good for you

7:19 pm

stidmama

yep, that's how it went shivs. very nice find!

7:19 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hiya nrkii.

7:19 pm

stidmama

hey nrk
1

7:19 pm

Minveryork

Hello nrkii!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

I went to the closest mall today--20 mi away, then nearby supermarket. It was quite the overstimulating afternoon for me.

7:19 pm

stidmama

hey LBD

7:19 pm

lbdawger

hi nrkii

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

great story, isn't it, Shiv?

7:20 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yeah, small world!

7:20 pm

stidmama

LOL I went out yesterday for some shopping therapy with my mother... it was fun.

7:20 pm

Scrabbler

I spent almost $200 today.

7:20 pm

stidmama

wow. that's a lot of food!

7:20 pm

lbdawger

what did you buy, scrabs?

7:21 pm

Scrabbler

That is a lot for a frugal person such as me.

7:21 pm

Scrabbler

Supermarket = $130 (remember that Peter lives with me). Lunch = $10. 2 pairs of pants = $50.

7:22 pm

stidmama

I spent 1/4 of your amount on a celebratory sushi meal for the stidkid after the test. He ate most of 7 different rolls!

7:22 pm

stidmama

but it was SO worth it! He loved trying some new types.

7:22 pm

lbdawger

easy to do with sushi...spend as well as eat!

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

I used gift cards from my birthday for books from Barnes + Noble, and for jeans from Lands' End within Sears.

7:22 pm

stidmama

and we ate where we could talk to and watch the chef preparing the food.

7:23 pm

Scrabbler

Dare I admit that I have never tried sushi?

7:23 pm

lbdawger

130 with a growing boy in the house...pretty frugal, scrabs!

7:24 pm

lbdawger

it's an acquired taste, scrabs. it's usually something you either love or hate. if you try it do not eat mackeral. it will turn you away from sushi.

7:24 pm

stidmama

He surprised us with a real treat -- we ordered a shrimp nigiri and when he was done eating the chef brought out a deep-fried head/legs tempura. I didn't try it (avoid wheat) but the kid tried it and enjoyed it.

7:24 pm

Scrabbler

He is 21, in college. Out with Marine buddy visiting family. Peter + Jim started together in kindergarten!

7:24 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yeah, I hear they can eat you out of house and home in their teens. Something to look forward to, yikes!

7:25 pm

stidmama

I like the saba (that's one of the mackeral) -- but not all sushi is raw fish; in fact I usually eat only vegetarian types.

7:25 pm

lbdawger

teens and into their twenties, especially if someone else is paying the food bill!

7:25 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Shiv--they return to the every 2-hour feeding schedule. My sister has 3 boys and peter is the oldest

7:25 pm

stidmama

LOL yes, they can eat a lot! but they are so active they really need it.

7:25 pm

Shivs Fitz

No, there are veggie sushis; only kind we have.

7:25 pm

stidmama

how is peter doing in school so far this year?

7:26 pm

lbdawger

maki sushi is veg

7:26 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yeah they do. My two have voracious appetites now!

7:26 pm

Scrabbler

So far, so good. He is taking WWII course, US Constitution, Education & Literacy, + Macroeconomics. I can offer him no help in any of those classes.

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

How old are your kids, Shiv?

7:27 pm

lbdawger

my son is now in his 30's and is starting to be picky about what he will eat. not like before when it was dangerous to be near him during feeding time.

7:27 pm

Shivs Fitz

My daughter's 12, son's 8.

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

What classes are you taking, Stid?

7:27 pm

stidmama

yep. we ordered futomaki, kampyo maki and kappa maki (mixed veggie with egg, pickled gourd, cucumber) as well as unagi and anago nigiri (freshwater and salt water eel), and tekka maki (raw tuna).... and miso soup. yum!

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

How did you type those words, Stid?

7:27 pm

stidmama

The Literacy class sounds like it might be interesting....

7:27 pm

Shivs Fitz

With her fingers?

7:28 pm

stidmama

what words, scrabs? I have been eating japanese food for over 40 years...

7:28 pm

lbdawger

7:31 pm

Scrabbler

Shivs Fitz

It is now, because I said it?

7:32 pm

Scrabbler

Alright, I must get warm PJs on, make hot tea, and get under a blanket in front of the TV for an hour or two. Good luck with the grid everyone!

7:33 pm

stidmama

help on the left-most H tile please?

7:33 pm

Shivs Fitz

I expect royalties from any dictionaries that include it, in that case.

7:33 pm

stidmama

enjoy the evening, scrabs. see you again soon! *many hugs*

7:33 pm

8:40 pm

GreyWoulf

GreyWoulf

grey, Gorty's Law of Family Life: in any given family, energy is inversely proportional to age and wisdom to utilise it helpfully

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

GreyWoulf

to me , the best term for the accumulation of junk was given to us by the author Philip K. Dick -- kipple

8:49 pm

Jacula

TO - the show doesn't start here in UK until next week. I thought it might be worth a look, Ohter Half says 'it sounds like rubbish!'.

8:49 pm

redturtlehead

I have not seen the Show TO, I am just so happy with NCIS right now...

8:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

well it will take intense atching, more so than even "lost". and seeing the world in destruction at the hands of a mysterious group is too real for me.

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

he used it in the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" (basis for the movie, Bladerunner), to define the gradual accumulation of debris in cities

8:50 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - kipple - keep all?

8:51 pm

Shivs Fitz

I don't want to do that...I want to get rid of it all!

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

so i am now watching the comedy "comunity" ilove joel mchale

8:51 pm

8:52 pm

lbdawger

i need to start with my desk and work my way out the door! i'm aghast at all the junk i have sitting on this table1

8:52 pm

Jacula

Of course, I then have to adapt the recipes to our taste and am ending up writing my own recipe book.

8:52 pm

8:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have not cooked in so long i have lost the art. really.

9:18 pm

Shivs Fitz

Thanks, Min.

9:19 pm

redturtlehead

but the skinny jeans, I can put them on my waist but my calves are really too too large.

9:19 pm

Minveryork

ch6/27 is ch plus your mother's or father's sister stid

9:19 pm

Jacula

I see another new thing that is fashionable - puff ball skirts/dresses. They were NOT a good idea back in the 80s and they are still not. Leggings should not be worn if you're not indulging in a sporting activity. I say this as someone who was skinny in the 80s.

9:19 pm

Pinikula

ch6 = c + *****ed house at halloween

9:20 pm

Shivs Fitz

I'm not as slim as I used to be either. How many of us are by our ages, after kids? Some, but not many!

9:20 pm

stidmama

thanks for the ch 6!

9:20 pm

Jacula

red - that's the whole point (re leggings). They're too forgiving and comfy to get into but not the same for the eyes of the beholders.

9:20 pm

Minveryork

9:20 pm

Shivs Fitz

Night everyone!

9:20 pm

stidmama

I never did wear "skinny" well -- had a teeny waist but a "curvaceous" hipline.

9:20 pm

stidmama

brb phone again

9:20 pm

Pinikula

...and then there's the ol' "spandex"...a privilege not a right!

9:20 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Shivs Fitz! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:21 pm

stidmama

is the CH 7 fishy if it's my last C word?

9:21 pm

stidmama

later shivs!

9:22 pm

redturtlehead

I agree, I dont think the legging really look too great, its like all bad fashion ideas keep coming back. THey used to have pegged jeans in the 80's but they arent coming back...I liked them.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Pink - LOL, re Spandex.

9:22 pm

Jacula

See you later, shiv.

9:22 pm

Pinikula

ch7 = it sounds like another word or c + small old home + maiden name

9:22 pm

Minveryork

That ch7 sounds like a sauce or relish of East Indian origin,compounded of sweet and sour ingredients,as fruits and herbs, with spices and other seasoning.

9:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

leggings may fit but - i mean, i saw a beautiful girl in them at the mall she may as well have been nude

9:22 pm

redturtlehead

Ch 5, 22 please?

9:22 pm

stidmama

pegged jeans I didn't like, but pegged pants were not too bad. The one thing I hope NEVER comes back is the parachute pants. Never wore them, never will.

Oh golly, on my way out the door today there was a lady checking into the ER in only a shirt and flip flops. I admit I just kept walking.

Jacula

Worst sight I ever saw on the news (cringe-wise) was an overweight naked woman having to go down a Fire Department slide in the course of being rescued from a 3rd or 4th floor apartment fire. If I'm not wearing night clothes, I always make sure I keep a set to hand nearby after seeing that.:(

9:26 pm

9:27 pm

redturtlehead

9:27 pm

redturtlehead

pants that taper.

9:28 pm

redturtlehead

Jac, after hearing the fire slide story, I shall put an extra t shirt in the bed!

9:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

tapered leg

9:29 pm

Jacula

Oh, know what you mean now re the pants. I used to look good in them in the 80s B (Before Childbirth/s).

9:29 pm

Jacula

Red - glad you've taken heed. LOL

9:30 pm

redturtlehead

I wore them in the 80's, but I was 11 or so...

'Pants' in UK is a universal term for male and female undergarments. Outer coverings are trousers, jeans, slacks, trews (both of the last old-fashioned words from the 60s), and 'kecks' (a Southern UK word for fashhionable trousers).

9:34 pm

Pinikula

hi6 = hernia

9:34 pm

Minveryork

hi6/21 is like a taking a short break Kazozz and hello

9:34 pm

Jacula

So many words differ in meaning between here and USA. 'Fanny' for instance means somethings else entirely here in UK.

9:35 pm

Kazozz

ty min

9:35 pm

Jacula

hi6 describes the stomach hernia.

9:35 pm

Pinikula

you mean "fanny" does mean backside over there?

9:35 pm

definitely the fanny thing, very very different

9:47 pm

autumn moon

thx pini

9:48 pm

autumn moon

jac- sounds like she had a great time.

9:49 pm

Jacula

She did, Autumn, and my son can't wait to go over there next spring or summer with his Dad and dad's new wife.

9:49 pm

Jacula

I fear they'll all emigrate eventually.:(

9:50 pm

Jacula

Daughter told me she was chatting to a couple whilst waiting to board the plane home. They'd been in Canada visiting thir son and his wife and their grandchildren. It seems they alternate which of their children they visit every couple of years. Their daughter and her family live in Nerw Zealand.

9:51 pm

Jacula

'Blimey!' said my daughter. 'They couldn't have picked to live further apart, could they?'

9:52 pm

autumn moon

That's a huge distance. But, look at the opportunity to travel!

9:52 pm

Jacula

The globe-trotting parents/grandparents agreed and said they'd like to emigrate to be near one or the other, but NZ was the preferred place.

9:53 pm

autumn moon

okay - back to the grid....

9:53 pm

Jacula

What clues do you need, autumn?

9:54 pm

torgone

Lucky 13 left ..

9:54 pm

autumn moon

first an5 and the 3rd an4

9:54 pm

autumn moon

both ca's

9:54 pm

Jacula

an5 (1st) is to anoint with oil.

9:55 pm

autumn moon

thx

9:55 pm

Jacula

3rd an4 is old Indian currency (girl's name - An** & the King).

9:56 pm

autumn moon

oops, that would be the 4th an4

9:57 pm

Jacula

Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner.

9:57 pm

Minveryork

ca 6/30 is sounds like a sneezing sound autumn moon

9:57 pm

Jacula

4th an4 sounds like someone wants a reply!

9:57 pm

Minveryork

ca 5/18 rhymes w/Mr. Crockett's name autumn moon

9:58 pm

Jacula

The King & I was the old film. The title I gave was for about 1999 version.

9:59 pm

autumn moon

thx... (my though on Mr. Crockett was Sonny, hubby came up with the right one)

10:00 pm

autumn moon

down to 5...ch7/

10:00 pm

autumn moon

never mind

10:00 pm

Jacula

D Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

10:01 pm

Jacula

Oh, I guess you have to be over a certain age to know some of the old stuff. LOL

10:02 pm

joey

omg, i was trying to get the ca to rhyme with sonny also........ and i even have the word!! lol

10:02 pm

autumn moon

not really, jac. I just find some of the clues so ambiguous that it just frustrates me more.

10:02 pm

autumn moon

wtg, joey :P

10:04 pm

autumn moon

for example, would you have found the la7 if I said rhymes with wrestler Tito S******

10:05 pm

Jacula

Sorry, Autumn. I'm one of the old school of Babble cluers who tries not to spell clues out. Though, being a bit of a rebel at times, I sometimes do if time is against the player wanting clues or my frustration at them not getting clues has reached boiling pint.

10:06 pm

autumn moon

I ddnt mean to point that at you, Jac. Just explaining my frustration. I don't like it when clues are literally spelled out but they have to have a little more than 'rhymes with s******'

10:07 pm

autumn moon

(I actually remember BOTH versions of the King and I)

10:07 pm

Jacula

LOL Autumn. Which version do you prefer?

10:08 pm

autumn moon

the original

10:08 pm

autumn moon

I don't care for all these remakes on movies, either.

10:08 pm

Pinikula

is the original the one with yule brenner?

10:09 pm

autumn moon

My nephew laughed at me last month because I didn't know they made a new Halloween movie and I couldn't understand why they were making such a big deal about it at supper

10:09 pm

Jacula

As for the wrestler clue for la, I'd only have clued it that way if I knew you liked wrestling or he was so famous you'd couldn't have failed to have heard of him. Who is he, btw?

10:09 pm

Pinikula

(oh, and I agree with the cluing...don't care to have them letter-for-letter spelled out, not much on using stats for other words when cluing, and apologize for being frustrating to those outside the US culture) ;)

10:10 pm

Jacula

Pink - yes.

10:11 pm

Pinikula

that's the version I like, jac...remakes are never as good as the originals

10:11 pm

autumn moon

old school wrestler, http://tinyurl.com/y9xohzr

10:12 pm

autumn moon

It's like people cluing "spanish for ancient word"....

10:13 pm

Pinikula

hi joey and jmc

10:14 pm

joey

autumn. i don't agree with that. if some director/producer liked the concept of the movie, i am sure that the thought - I can do better - crosses his/her mind.

yes, joey. I can't think of any off the top of my head, though

10:15 pm

Jacula

I'm with joey re the movie remakes, though I've only seen a couple that were better than the originals.

10:15 pm

Pinikula

I need to put leftovers away or I won't have lunch/dinner tomorrow...

10:15 pm

I did that when my back was out

10:27 pm

Jacula

Autumn - I an't tell you how happy I am about her raids after all the years she almost starved herself to death. Even as a former slimming club teacher, I have no truck with any kind of diet other than 'eat a bit of everything but not too much to make you bloated'.

10:28 pm

Jacula

A balanced diet and exercise is the key to maintained a healthy weight.

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

ch5/22 sounds like what you do to eat supper

10:28 pm

autumn moon

that's good that sh'e raiding your cupboards. I remember some of your previous posts in chog.

autumn moon

'kay... I'm done, finally, so I will see y'all back at flip

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo AM!

10:31 pm

Jacula

Don't use diet supplements or pills, or meal replacements, or just eat vegetables and no carbs. All you have to do is learn to react to all kinds of food in a calm fashion and not overeat one more than another. Treats are fine, so long as you don't treat yourself 5 times a day, 7 times a week. Everything in moderation.

10:31 pm

Kazozz

Any kind of fad diet might make you lose weight but will not keep you healthy for life.

The more you diet the more weight you put on in the end unless you become anorectic.

10:56 pm

TO - but surely the correcting sometimes has positive results? I certainly don't try to be 'superior' when I say anything. I hope I only 'correct' those who I know should know better.

10:56 pm
