1:43 am

Just1Mar

1:44 am

swmbo

il4/9 a holly

1:44 am

Just1Mar

top o....the oo** and aahs one hear in the crowd of admirers!

1:44 am

buffgirl71

top o 4/6: o + command for a horse

1:44 am

Just1Mar

so there's a plural of that and and gerund too

1:45 am

buffgirl71

oh 4/5 - like the state, but change the last vowel

1:45 am

jillibus

Oh, gee whiz, I should have seen that!

1:46 am

Just1Mar

and the middle i is: a four letter word for anger

1:46 am

buffgirl71

1:46 am

Just1Mar

and a heavy metal

1:46 am

jillibus

(the og is actually an architectural molding)

1:47 am

Just1Mar

x plus sometimes vowel plus eating off the la** drop last cons

1:47 am

rbud

xy 5 = xy + folk singer Bob Dy***

1:48 am

Just1Mar

great clue rbud

1:48 am

1:50 am

Just1Mar

1:51 am

swmbo

OK, i see

1:52 am

goodmorning all had a senior moment :)

2:11 am

nursegladys

what did you do mari?

2:13 am

mari

went for a 2 letter word about my level today !!

2:15 am

nursegladys

know what you mean - why is it when you've got loads of time the words always jump out at you and when you haven't they stay stubbornly hidden

2:18 am

hydra

They stay stubbornly hidden from me most of the time! Morning, all.

2:18 am

nursegladys

morning hydra

2:19 am

hydra

Good to meet you, nursegladys. Haven't seen you on here before. I don't think I've met you either, Mari. Hello!

2:19 am

anike

2:20 am

hydra

Pouring with rain in West London. What's it like where you are? My sister is organising the Original Mountain Marathon race in Wales this weekend. It always rains for that!

2:20 am

hydra

Anike, congrats!!

Hi Ata. Good morning.

Ty all. I gotta go. Happy babbling

Hope you are better expeditiously, Ata

Atalante

illness so bogs one down

hmmm. no po*y, but you can gerund it

3:15 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers!

3:16 am

lynxxx

good morning Lori

3:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening from me, as well.

3:16 am

LoriP

This looks like an ecclectic arrangement of letters. Oy

3:16 am

lynxxx

hi Haz!

3:16 am

o-o

Good day, Lori and Haz

3:17 am

LoriP

Hazaurus! G'd mornin' :) Lynx, BR

3:17 am

Atalante

hi Haz! hi Lorikins!

3:17 am

LoriP

Mata Hari! ***hands Ata rum laced cup of tea for medicinal purposes***

3:17 am

lynxxx

It's OK when you get into it. Mind you I only have 33%

3:18 am

Atalante

yay ty!

3:18 am

Atalante

I have 102 hard fought for words

3:18 am

LoriP

***Also yells at FM to stop working and come out to play***

3:19 am

LoriP

That's not encouraging my DENSA mind.... I keep staring at these letters, then the word total with complete disbelief.

3:19 am

Atalante

she's boooooring

3:19 am

Haz1558

I'm impressed with the late alphabet letters' ability to appear together so often.

3:19 am

LoriP

lolol, fine line between dedication and boring, no?

3:20 am

Haz1558

She's maybe packing. No excuse, I grant you, but it's what she'll say.

3:20 am

FMitch

Im just making some toast if that is OK with you guys??

3:20 am

LoriP

No excuse indeed!

3:20 am

Haz1558

Hooray! That boring thing must have hit home.

3:21 am

lynxxx

morning FM

3:21 am

FMitch

and good morning to you too :)

3:21 am

o-o

Good day, FM

3:21 am

FMitch

back in a mo

3:21 am

Haz1558

So, now we're all here, which world problem do we solve this morning? Or are we still bogged down in mosses and lichen?

3:22 am

LoriP

heh heh heh ***whaps FM with a body length sleeping pillow*** Mornin'!

3:23 am

LoriP

Toast is so boring. Make strawberry crepes.

3:23 am

Haz1558

Toast is very comforting.

3:23 am

Atalante

I found a bog near you, you'll be pleased to know

3:23 am

LoriP

lichen, heck I don't even know him.

3:24 am

Haz1558

I'm ecstatic! Where is this place of wonderment?

3:24 am

LoriP

Coming soon to a bog near you.... There's a sentence you don't read every day.

3:25 am

Atalante

ummm ... can't remember LOL

3:25 am

LoriP

***wonders if FM is toasting the entire loaf***

3:25 am

Haz1558

I've found no peat-cutters among the ancestors so far, but I'll keep digging.

3:26 am

FMitch

Burnt the first batch thanks to you guys had to do 2 more slices.

3:27 am

LoriP

poxy is too a word!

3:27 am

Haz1558

FM blaming us? This can't be right.

3:27 am

LoriP

***snickers at FM's inability to make toast***

3:27 am

FMitch

Makes a change doesn't it :)

3:27 am

lynxxx

well...you might need an e with that

3:27 am

Atalante

Slieveanorra I think, or similar spelling

3:28 am

Atalante

and Maghera

3:28 am

Haz1558

I shall google it.

3:29 am

Atalante

when I say near, I mean comparatively near, not on your doorstep!

3:29 am

LoriP

I spelt it with the e, but minus the e should work too. **My story, and I'm sticking to it*** :)

3:29 am

lynxxx

8 too!

3:29 am

FMitch

Just to forewarn you I can't stop for too long this morning am meeting up with a friend who flew in from Washington yesterday - just waiting for a phone call from him.

3:30 am

Haz1558

It's up the road towards the coast.

3:30 am

Atalante

now you and Spangle can go bog hopping :)

3:30 am

LoriP

Have you worked your way back to Cain and Abel Hazaurus, or not quite that far yet?

3:30 am

Atalante

we knew our place in your priorities

3:30 am

Haz1558

You mean someone coming from Washington takes precedence over us? Your babble buddies?

3:30 am

lynxxx

BBS dinner is served

3:31 am

LoriP

Since when does real life override Babble??? <-------

3:31 am

Haz1558

I'm hurt. Does this man make you laugh? Does this man give you clues? Does this man blame you for everything?

3:31 am

LoriP

Enjoy yer din din Lynx.

3:31 am

FMitch

what can I say? It's nothing personal.

3:31 am

Atalante

such fickleness

3:32 am

Haz1558

That's what the F stands for.

3:32 am

LoriP

he's no doubt some secret operative. Everybody from Washington is you know.

3:32 am

FMitch

lol he is flying to Africa this afternoon so I shan't abandon you for too long.

3:32 am

LoriP

We're cast aside, just because of some man.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Flying to Africa as well? This is a man with a well-stamped passport.

3:32 am

Atalante

who is not even sticking around

3:33 am

LoriP

A drive by. So, so, so sad.

3:33 am

Haz1558

He's probably called Fickle as well.

3:33 am

o-o

Ata, does your research include the bog bodies?

3:33 am

FMitch

LOL

3:33 am

Atalante

unfortunately, no. that would be interesting!

3:34 am

Haz1558

We'll be left to pick up the pieces once that fly-by-night has flown by.

3:34 am

Atalante

bet he won't come back with tales of Barack Obama

3:34 am

Haz1558

Just as long as FM doesn't wail about missing him so much.

3:34 am

LoriP

I'm sure a phone call would be adequate. The lack of prioritizing blows me away.

3:34 am

Atalante

bet she will. Just to make us feel even more unloved

3:34 am

Haz1558

No, he hardly has the connections to breakfast with the Obamas.

3:35 am

FMitch

LOL just choked on my toast.

3:35 am

LoriP

The keening and the wailing, oh my, the therapy bill alone will be huge.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Ignore her, she's just trying to get sympathy and divert attention.

3:35 am

Atalante

see what happens when you invite strange American men over!

3:36 am

Haz1558

Missing him AND choking. There's only so much sympathy we can give.

3:36 am

FMitch

So glad to hae lightened your morning, Im sure you can work this one for hours!!

3:36 am

Atalante

days!

3:36 am

lawyer-1

is this the latest episode of Days of Our Lives?

3:36 am

lawyer-1

is this the latest episode of Days of Our Lives?

3:36 am

Atalante

at least

3:36 am

Atalante

pretty much :)

3:36 am

Haz1558

This is the latest episode of FM's Day of her Life.

3:37 am

LoriP

I say we can get years out of this Ata Hari.

3:37 am

FMitch

Well on that note I shall love and leave you and go and get dressed!

3:37 am

Haz1558

Except that it won't be because the rat is flying in and flying out again leaving her dangling.

3:37 am

Haz1558

What are you going to wear, FM?

3:37 am

FMitch

I hasten to say he is happily and newly married

3:37 am

LoriP

Good Lord, and she was nekkid this whole time.

3:37 am

Atalante

does FM only get one Day of her Life?

3:37 am

Atalante

have a wonderful day, dearest!

3:37 am

FMitch

Clothes Haz - find they work best :)

3:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, but what look are you going for?

3:38 am

LoriP

Enjoy your reality, if you must.

3:38 am

Haz1558

Femme fatale or Frisky Female?

3:38 am

lawyer-1

This is much more interesting than reading what my fellow Americans write here

3:38 am

Atalante

a clothed look, apparently

3:38 am

LoriP

A small hint of trollop possibly?

3:38 am

Atalante

we aim to please

3:39 am

Haz1558

Trollope's heroines were always well dressed.

3:39 am

Atalante

hard to wear an author

3:39 am

FMitch

LOL twit - nothing special, prob jeans and I don't know - anyway I will go and investigate the wardropbe as I must get some shopping done too.
((()))
*poof*

3:39 am

Haz1558

You'd have a Dickens of a job....

3:39 am

Atalante

bet he has Great Expectations

3:40 am

LoriP

***Have fun FM*** :D

3:40 am

Haz1558

Bye FM - have fun!

3:40 am

Haz1558

And say hello to him from us. You'll find it easy to explain what we're like and who we are.

3:40 am

LoriP

Now, she's Gone With the Wind

3:41 am

LoriP

Also, tell him we know where he lives, just to keep him on his toes.

3:41 am

LoriP

...and a belated G'd morning lawyer

3:43 am

Haz1558

Well, now that we've sent FM to the drugs cupboard for a wee sedative, who'll we talk about now?

3:44 am

LoriP

Oh Haz, I have something for you.

3:44 am

Haz1558

Excellent - do tell!

3:45 am

LoriP

Last week, I almost cleaned the living room, but then had a stroke of brilliance. We painted everything, avoiding cleaning, and now I think I shall not have to clean it for like years..

3:45 am

LoriP

Brilliant, no?

3:45 am

Haz1558

That's spectacular. I wouldn't have credited you with such el4/4.

3:45 am

LoriP

The ebst part, is that the roof leaks and there was a water stain on the ceiling.

3:46 am

LoriP

So naturally, rather than fixing the roof, we painted. :)

3:46 am

LoriP

My genius knows no bounds.

3:46 am

PMS

so

3:46 am

Haz1558

There are some poor saps who would repair the roof and redo the ceiling at huge expense. Fools!

3:47 am

LoriP

Only suckers would do that Haz.

3:47 am

Atalante

Lori is far too inventive

3:47 am

Haz1558

Are you going to write a book about your methods? You need to share your wisdom with the world as a money saving device.

3:47 am

Haz1558

I think you need a bit of 'give' in the roof for ventilation.

3:48 am

Haz1558

That's the problem with people today, not enough fresh air.

3:48 am

LoriP

It has potential. Sometimes people over work a problem, when simple solutions will do.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Did you do the painting yourself or were the children given a home project to do in their spare time?

3:50 am

LoriP

For example, the carpet needed cleaning. Well, I didn't stand for that. We ripped it up and threw it to the curb. Another problem solved.

3:50 am

FishFishGarden

morning all

3:50 am

LoriP

Mornin' Fish.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning Fish.

3:50 am

Atalante

I'm going to go too ... still feeling fluey and bleh, adn husband has finally got up so I can go back to sleep without elephant trumpeting next to me

3:51 am

LoriP

Oh no, the children slaved away. I just sat on the couch and gave firm management.

3:51 am

Haz1558

Poor Ata! Hope you feel better soon.

3:51 am

LoriP

Sleep tight Ata Hari, feel better soon.

3:51 am

Atalante

me too! getting bored of this!!

3:52 am

LoriP

It is 2 degrees (F) here when i got up at 4. Very depressing.

3:52 am

Haz1558

I hope you didn't bother with ladders or anything. Standing on each other's shoulders will have counted towards their physical education.

3:52 am

LoriP

Oops, CELSIUS

3:53 am

LoriP

Ladders? Certainly not. How else will they ebcome Cirque de Soleil members if they don't start early?

3:54 am

Haz1558

Did they master the balancing on a unicycle as well?

3:55 am

LoriP

Not quite, but installing the new ceiling fixture whilst on the unicycle should hone that skill.

3:55 am

Haz1558

We must tell Vicuna about this, she's fond of incorporating her Twins of Glory into household tasks as well. They've got the abseiling window-cleaning down to a fine art.

3:56 am

Haz1558

What's the new ceiling fixture? A strategically placed bucket in case the roof gives in too much ventilation?

3:57 am

LoriP

How did you know? The silent drip/splash feature was the most difficult aspect.

3:58 am

LoriP

It's now a faux water feature. Clever.

3:58 am

Haz1558

Sponge in the bottom of the bucket is okay for early drips, I suppose, but after that? Turning up the volume of the TV should do the trick, shouldn't it?

3:58 am

LoriP

I'm simply being environmentally friendly, collecting rain water.

3:59 am

Haz1558

I can see the Ozone layer repairing itself as we speak.

3:59 am

LoriP

Man, this grid is NOT flowing as freely as my water feature. This will be a grind.

4:00 am

Haz1558

I'm getting a few words here and there but it isn't flowing freely here either.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Now that FM's gone, who do we blame for this state of affairs?

4:01 am

LoriP

Granted, chat distracts me, but honestly this is like pulling hens teeth.

4:01 am

LoriP

Her lack of presence does not save her bacon. This is all her fault.

4:02 am

Haz1558

I think she knows it but finds the guilt too much to bear. That's why she makes up stories about meeting people in transit to Africa.

4:02 am

Haz1558

I mean, does she think we're gullible or something

4:03 am

LoriP

She must. I don't believe half of what she says. For exampl the convenient phone calls when she's caught doing something. I wasn't born yesterday

4:04 am

iblues429

hello

4:04 am

Haz1558

Hello iblues.

4:04 am

LoriP

Mornin' iblues

4:08 am

grannyrose

g'day all

4:08 am

Haz1558

Good evening grannyrose.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Whying is not a word. Try telling that to a curious toddler.

4:09 am

grannyrose

can chog a wh5.anyone need a hand?

4:10 am

Haz1558

I'm okay, granny, still on the first run through, although it's more like a sedate walk.

4:10 am

LoriP

G'd evening granny. I'm too early in to panic yet. That comes later... :)

4:10 am

LoriP

I think Haz meant dignified sedate walk. :p

4:10 am

Haz1558

Dignity is all.

4:10 am

grannyrose

* grin * you got that right. very tough going, this grid

4:11 am

LoriP

I'm crawling, not unlike an toddler
looking for unhealthily old food to put in their mouth.

4:11 am

Haz1558

You're supposed to be all upbeat, granny, and tell us it gets easier.

4:12 am

LoriP

Feel free to fake it granny, and say that the toughest part was the beginning.

4:12 am

Haz1558

I can visualise said toddler holding up old food and asking 'Why?'

4:12 am

grannyrose

after my first run through, i STILL had over 60 to go!

4:12 am

LoriP

I can definitely visualize that Haz.

4:13 am

LoriP

Wrll, you're just a ray of sunshine, aren't you granny. :p

4:13 am

Haz1558

The key is for mothers to explain that it's part of an ageing of food trial.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Taking five to let daughter onto computer. Honestly, sometimes my motherly generosity knows no bounds. Back in a few...

4:14 am

grannyrose

lol, not bragging at all....just there's a lot of unexpected twisty words in this one

4:14 am

LoriP

I know my kids had their peck of dirt to kick start their immune systems. #4 was especially adept at finding aged edibles.

4:14 am

LoriP

Laters Haz. Make sure you set the timer.

4:14 am

grannyrose

that's a hint......

4:16 am

grannyrose

words i didn't even know that had a gerund ending.....and as for the 'y'...........

4:17 am

LoriP

Yes, I suspect that trying the gerund on all finds might be a good strategy. ***sigh***

4:19 am

LoriP

I'm also adding y to everything, just in case.

4:19 am

LoriP

Even as I said that, tried ni 4/11. seriously now...

4:20 am

grannyrose

have had the most beautiful spring day here. friend came around, helped me to plant out a few of my plants. it's not easy to garden from a wheelchair.

4:20 am

LoriP

Yes, you've had a long haul. Any light at the end of the tunnel granny?

4:21 am

grannyrose

another 4 weeks, lori. am into hydrotherapy, sees to help

4:22 am

LoriP

Well, good things to ya', anything that helps is, well, helpful! :)

4:22 am

grannyrose

grrrr, * seems * this keyboard needs a fl6 lesson

4:23 am

grannyrose

i plan on walking into my next review appointment....AND I WILL DO IT!!!!

4:23 am

LoriP

Good for you granny.

4:25 am

grannyrose

have to admit, i am kinda frightened of walking, if i jar the bones before they are fused, .....nah, don't want to think about that

4:26 am

LoriP

Fear is natural, long as you're in charge of it, and not the other way around, you're all set.

4:27 am

grannyrose

* smiling at you * thanx lori.

4:27 am

LoriP

: )

sprite

7:29 am

crosshair

indeed kallia..i have eveything but the 4 gig or ram;/

7:30 am

Kallia

are you going to change? ram isn't that expensive I think...if your pc will take it of course

7:30 am

crosshair

the top shel gamig graphics cards are pretty reasonable now..i got my nvidia 8500 gs 768 meg for 99 dollars

7:30 am

crosshair

yup ,i just ran the win 7 compatability program

7:31 am

crosshair

the ram will be 100 dollars

7:31 am

Kallia

7:31 am

crosshair

since ill have to toss the dimm stick im using now

7:31 am

Kallia

PC probably wont take it without a lot of cash

7:32 am

Kallia

and I really don't have many problems

7:32 am

crosshair

win 7 is just what vista should of been in the first place

7:32 am

Kallia

so I believe...

7:33 am

Kallia

but like all win products probably needs the glitches sorted lol

7:33 am

crosshair

Dorens

i thought it would, but i ended up staying up late and watching the doors on tv.. somehow i'd never seen it.

8:06 am

jmcnrick

8:06 am

crosshair

mm interesting jmc

8:06 am

Dorens

oh owl, then we need to travel upstate and taste it
scrabs, i remember when my exhusband did that as moonlighting when a resident... why do you have to do it.. aren't there any residents around?

8:07 am

crosshair

then they went with the idea she was abusing over the counter headache meds..that went on for a few years

8:07 am

Dorens

yes --- premigraine is called an aura.. a well documented entity (ex was a neurologist who specialized in headaches)

8:08 am

crosshair

then they offered this med that was like 25 dollars a pill...lol

8:10 am

Dorens

Cause I'm her mom... and it was her birthday last month.. and we like to do things once in a while, this is overdue, it's been years since we have done a facial. and the dinner is just something that is happening at Ken's club and i like mysteries so we are going to try it out (i pushed him when I saw it advertised)

8:13 am

Anniebrook

dorens, what a nice fun day.

8:13 am

jmcnrick

i went to a hardware store and asked where the fl6s were and the guy looked like i had lost my last mind

8:13 am

Dorens

mp. but he has three sisters owl, that is supposedly the reason he is so quiet... never got a word in growing up

8:13 am

crosshair

lol

8:13 am

crosshair

lol jmc,you should of asked him for a can of steam or a sky hook;)

8:14 am

Anniebrook

dorens, who has 3 sisters? Have you 4 children?

8:14 am

jmcnrick

i finally found them and showed them to him and said -- next time you will know what it is!

8:14 am

crosshair

or a bubble for your level;))

8:15 am

Dorens

ken (my gentleman friend) has three sisters. I have three children. so does he.

8:15 am

jmcnrick

my brother was the only male out of five and he talked ALL THE TIME so i think that theory is bogus (no to mention sexist)

8:15 am

Anniebrook

It's all in the genes, I think

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I noticed last Saturday that Ken is quiet and reserved.

8:16 am

jmcnrick

now crossy i might buy a level with a bubble (cus i am an old fashion girl) but never heard of buying one for my level

8:16 am

Dorens

oh it absolutely is bogus and sexist.. it is his idea of a joke. but he is awfully quiet. the other thing from having three sisters, though, may be that he treats me, and other women, extremely graciously... they may have taught him that

8:16 am

crosshair

lol

8:16 am

Anniebrook

dorens, he's a keeper

8:16 am

jmcnrick

well you can't argue with gracious treatment

8:17 am

Dorens

oh he was even quieter than usual scrabs... said we all had so much to say (we are a wordy, nerdy bunch) and he didn't want to intrude. and we did have much to say. and yes, he is a keeper!

8:17 am

jmcnrick

coffee is ready (again) brb

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

well he was no doubt overhwlmed by the crowd of beautiful intelligent women LOL

8:17 am

crosshair

surrounded by a gaggle of women we learn to keep it zipped;))..well for the most pat

8:17 am

Scrabbler

It was so much fun to be with smart, nice nerds!

8:17 am

crosshair

part even

8:18 am

Scrabbler

I hope you stay zipped, Cross

8:18 am

Dorens

8:18 am

72 Temple Owl

8:18 am

crosshair

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Where? Restaurant, game?

8:20 am

jmcnrick

8:20 am

crosshair

hehe

8:20 am

crosshair

crossy brings out the naughty;)

8:21 am

Anniebrook

Bobby is going to be 44 next month. We want to take him to Union Square Cafe but have to wait until my daughter and family get back from Arizona.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Actually at a sad wake--his parents knew the man that died--father of a patient of mine--54 yr old guy with 11 yr old son and wonderful wife. He had multiple myeloma x 4 yrs--suffered so much.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Yes you do, Crossy!

8:21 am

Dorens

nice annie... i haven't been there in many years, but it is a great restaurant still, i hear

8:21 am

Anniebrook

We also have a wedding November 7 when Bobby gets a chance to wear his tuxedo again. He cant wait.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

But there was Billy in the line to speak with the grieving family and give hugs.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

So sad.

8:22 am

SueDean

8:23 am

crosshair

8:23 am

crosshair

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Yes, in alcoholics if I recall--not a pediatric problem.

8:24 am

Dorens

8:24 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, I hope your headache leaves quickly

8:24 am

jmcnrick

8:24 am

crosshair

k

8:25 am

Scrabbler

I also do not want to have a sliding wipe-out at the 50-yard line while running out to care for an injured boy. That would be rather embarrassing.

8:25 am

jmcnrick

lol I will wish for that too --- no sliding for scrabs!

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

feel better scrabs

8:26 am

Scrabbler

...I could see my klutzy self doing that trick

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabs: take an ec6/21 for the road

8:26 am

jmcnrick

i can see i will have to resort the list long before 1/2 way on this bear

8:27 am

jmcnrick

mmmmm ec6/21

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, no more of that...i have resolved to become fit again

8:28 am

jmcnrick

8:29 am

jmcnrick

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

8:30 am

jmcnrick

8:30 am

crosshair

8:31 am

jmcnrick

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

Anniebrook

crosshair

8:38 am

flosey

8:39 am

crosshair

8:39 am

flosey

Costco carries it and is much cheaper than I've found

8:39 am

Anniebrook

flosey, thank you for the cheese recommendation. I will look for it in a cheese store.

8:39 am

Anniebrook

Or Costco. Yes, much cheaper

8:39 am

flosey

8:40 am

8:40 am

crosshair

8:41 am

flosey

8:41 am

Anniebrook

crosssy, I would not be suprised if there is a yak cheese.

8:41 am

Dorens

periwinkle

8:43 am

periwinkle

I love cheese but most of the good stuff is full of fat and cholesterol, but for a treat would be nice to try. no one else here would eat it tho

8:43 am

Anniebrook

I just love looking at a display of cheeses. So interesting

8:43 am

periwinkle

there is a great cheese place in the Italian Market downton

8:44 am

crosshair

8:44 am

Anniebrook

dags and willows, will google that later

8:44 am

Dorens

my son found this cheese called La Tur. from the piedmont area of italy... creamy and a bit tangy. and ridiculously expensive but so unique...

8:45 am

Dorens

8:45 am

periwinkle

8:47 am

Dorens

i also love the private reserve cabot cheddar that costco carries.......and their price for parmiagianno reggiano is excellent - and it's as good as you can find anywhere

8:48 am

flosey

must try that one Dorens - next time I'm in Vancouver - daughter is a member, I'm not, store is not close enough for us

8:49 am

Dorens

something ato look forward to flosey

8:49 am

Anniebrook

I do not have a Costco near me. My daughter shops at Costco--must tell her to buy the parmiagianno cheese for me.

8:50 am

Dorens

yup annie. it's nice and sharp and crumbly. but not sharp biting, just right.

8:51 am

Dorens

i love cheese so much... a day without cheese is harder for me than a day without wine

8:51 am

Anniebrook

just the way it should be. now I am thinking of spreading blue cheese on crisp crackers. too early?

8:52 am

flosey

never too early Annie - enjoy

8:52 am

Dorens

never too early.. if it sounds good to you, it is. and you're making me hungry... was trying to save myself for lunch at zoe's

8:53 am

Dorens

well ladies, i need to jump in the shower and make myself presentable... if i have time before leviing i'll be back for more.. still have 45 to find

8:53 am

Anniebrook

never too early is right! Where does Zoe live, Dorens?

8:53 am

crosshair

crossy is off to grab s sliver of his famous 7 year old cnadian white cheddar..brb;)..semi poof

8:53 am

Dorens

zoe's is the restaurant we're meeting in.. sorry, my mistake... Rachel (the daughter) lives in williamsburg

8:54 am

Anniebrook

Rachel, what a lovely name. My grandmother's name was Rachel. Is Zoe's on Lexington Ave..ate there many many years ago. Cant be the same place?

8:56 am

Dorens

her grandmother's name also annie. my mother in law.. and when she died i decided to have a daughter to name for her... and she was born in september . right between Ray's birth date and death. (Rosh Hashanah.. whole family gathered at her house, she died peacefully there)

8:56 am

Dorens

this zoe's is on Prince St in Soho.. never been there but read good things about it and it is near the place we're having facials. can't walk too far in the city with crutch and rain...

8:58 am

flosey

facials, what a lovely treat

8:58 am

Anniebrook

I had one facial in my life and when I got off the table I felt as if I was oiled and ready to go into the oven. I couldnt wait to get back to my room and wash my face. So much for the finer things for me.

8:58 am

Anniebrook

dorens, what a lovely story about your mother in law and naming of your daughter.

8:58 am

Dorens

yup, very excited,,, we do it once a year or so and we're overdue this time - annie i have very large pores and it's nice to get them cleaned out now and then

8:59 am

Dorens

oh the details are even better, but i'll save them for the day i finally meet you, annie

9:00 am

Anniebrook

I guess I had the facial at the wrong place. Mohegan Sun. Liz (daughter) took me there for a birtday (70) had a manicure, facial, hairdo, dinner, gambling. I loved the dinner and gambling..the rest I guess was the wrong place. But Liz meant well.

9:01 am

Anniebrook

dorens, save the story.

9:01 am

Dorens

spiced macaroni & cheese
white cheddar, fresno & chipotle peppers,

toasted panko crumbs -- from the menu at zoe's.. .why i'm saving myself and not eating cheese now

9:02 am

Dorens

what a lovely gift though annie. funny Elizabeth is rachel's middle name

9:02 am

Anniebrook

Oooooh, my mouth is watering

9:02 am

flosey

Mac & cheese is a favourite comfort food for me - your's sounds heavenly

9:03 am

Anniebrook

Yes, we stayed overnight and I won and so did she.

9:03 am

Dorens

haven't had it yet flosey, but i intend to today! will report on it to you when you tell me how you liked the costco's cheese

9:03 am

Anniebrook

mac and cheese and meatloaf.

9:03 am

flosey

ah yes, meatloaf, another comfort food

9:04 am

Dorens

annie, the gambling wouldn't appeal to me, and the facial/manicure stuff didn't appeal to you. that's what makes life interesting... we have to have some different interests

9:04 am

flosey

I've made a note of it Dorens, don't know when I'll get over to Van but must soon to see grandson

9:04 am

Dorens

how far is it flosey?

9:06 am

flosey

not far as the crow flies Dorens, we either take float plane, which is $200. return, and about 15 - 20 minutes, or ferry 1 11/2 hours plus hour drive

9:06 am

flosey

that's 1 and a half hours

9:07 am

Anniebrook

So little William is the closest?

9:07 am

Dorens

oh that's not bad, flosey. my grandkids are about a four hour drive, but i manage to do it once a month. wish they were closer, but glad they're not further

9:07 am

flosey

9:44 am

stidmama

yes, it is. And it has a frightening theme, at least to me, but the 14 year olds I took to see it, were just intrigued. We talked about how it relates to world history on the ride home.

9:44 am

Nef

Pinikula

9:46 am

jmcnrick

9:46 am

Nef

9:49 am

stidmama

ridiculous pay sounds nice, Pakistan sounds dangerous.

9:49 am

jmcnrick

I would work if I retired! lol

10:02 am

stidmama

(weed I tried once, hated it)

10:02 am

Nef

I tried pot once; didn't like it or what it did to me. When my kids were in grade school; they asked if I had done drugs and my son went and told his classmates I smoked pot!

10:02 am

rururocks

drugs for fun is way overrated

10:02 am

jmcnrick

lol i am thinking i will never get nbt until the last 5 words!

10:03 am

stidmama

he doesn't sing, I believe, he mutters into a microphone incoherently

10:03 am

Pinikula

I need 2 more for nbt (upper left I and lower right O)

10:03 am

stidmama

need one more tile for NBT

10:03 am

Nef

What made it worse was that I was the class Mom at the time and also pres of the PTA! In a parochial school

10:03 am

Pinikula

then you know more than I do, stid!!! LOL

10:03 am

phaeton

lower right O is what we breath

10:05 am

stidmama

oh NEF! rofl... that is too funny (in retrospect) but I bet at the time it was embarassing. I have been honest with my children about the time I tried it. And about their relations who did more than try.

10:41 am

Nef

If I'm in a hurry, I will put up lickety and shrink the grid window so I can't read the chog. Normally, I won't do that because I love the chog! :-)

10:41 am

jmcnrick

10:42 am

10:42 am

Pinikula

My goals are to get NBT (no blank tiles = each available tile has a word [i.e., no 0/] and then 1/2-way mark before listing...

10:42 am

Nef

I *think* that most of the regulars don't open lickety unless they are over half way and/or can't find the last 20 or so

10:42 am

evanonut

you are in the wrong "trade" jmc...tricks indeed...and so near halloween

10:43 am

There has been a HUGE scandal here about nursing/ retirement homes. Old folk being left in the care of unquallified, unregistered, and uncaring staff. There is going to be a huge backlash when the lid is finally off the can of worms

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

fortunately the law in that area has liberalized in the U.S. (don't know about Canada) allow immediate family members to act as poa without docs.

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

well as the baby boomers end up in nursing homes, there will have to be some changes

4:05 pm

my sibling and i have agreed not to ever let it get like that..its a digrace when that happens

4:07 pm

Soodle

And Cross - I have been where you were. I stood up in the High Court in Dublin, and declared that I could only afford to pay â‚¬1.00 per month to what only can be described as a loan shark in banks clothing, and the judge smiled at me, banged his gavel, and declared that I should only pay half that amount. Oh sweet victory!

4:07 pm

lol soodle cute nickname

4:13 pm

Soodle

Hey! We are still here! I am still Babbling. The kids are doing unbelievably well, but, it still hurts. The not so dear, but oh so departed was last heard of in Bangkok, Thailand!!!

4:13 pm

crosshair

i have nothing in my wifes name that will give her any grief should i get run over by a bus tommorow

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

you are a very nice guy crossy

4:13 pm

Soodle

Good for you Cross!!

4:14 pm

crosshair

..actually she will get 40 grand from my poicy..mm i should check the brakes on my car....

4:14 pm

Enomis65

4 more before going to the list...

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

everything was in my name when my husband died so it was not too messy

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

*hands crossy a wretch*

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

go eno go!

4:15 pm

Soodle

My problem is, he is not contactable. If I fell off my perch in the morning, we are still technically married, and he could come back,and claim my pension, our house and the kids. Its a chilling thought

4:15 pm

jmcnrick

surely you can divorce him in absentia

4:17 pm

Soodle

It would cost a fortune, JMC. I would have to advertise in papers circulating in south east asia.-

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

really? not just in Ireland? I mean you don't really know where he is, right?

4:18 pm

Atalante

I thought after 2 years of missing-ness, you didn't have to do any of that

4:18 pm

Atalante

that's how one of my friends handled her husband poofing off to Thailand. Waited for 2 years adn a lot of legal requirements went away

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

i would think ata even in *ahem* Great Britain

4:20 pm

Soodle

The laws here state that he has to be incommunicado for 7 years. Then he can be legally declared dead, and I can claim his life insurance. Trouble is, the fecker phones occasionally - invariably drunk and incoherent, but alive....

4:20 pm

Atalante

but there's a difference between being declared dead and being delcared divorced?

4:21 pm

lynxxx

you are going to get a new unlisted number aren't you!?

4:21 pm

lynxxx

hi Ata

eland.htm

4:21 pm

Atalante

and hi! just barging in here :)

4:21 pm

Soodle

Ata - divorce is relatively new in Ireland.

4:21 pm

Soodle

Ata - divorce is relatively new in Ireland.

4:21 pm

Atalante

move over here :P

4:22 pm

Soodle

The divorce laws are very new and still largely untested.

4:22 pm

Soodle

Ata... The not so dear, but oh so departed is an Englishman!!!!!

4:23 pm

Atalante

but you could still divorce the brat over here!!

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

well the wenpage says that one in every six marriages in Ireland end in divorce now

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

it says you have to be living apart for 4 years and then you can apply on your own without a solicitor

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

how long has the bast...dearly departed been departed?

4:25 pm

Atalante

that sounds reasonable

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

in the US it is a year or in some cases 6 months but everyone knows how decadent we are

4:25 pm

nrkii

hi all!

4:25 pm

Soodle

You are right Jmc - but, both parties have to be in agreement. I cant get hold of the fecker, to get his agreement!

4:25 pm

lynxxx

hi nrkii

4:26 pm

Atalante

how can you have to have agreement with someone who has officially buggered off??!

4:26 pm

Soodle

Hi Nrkii

4:27 pm

lynxxx

There must be a get-out clause for desertion and non-support surely

4:27 pm

Soodle

Agreed Ata, but divorce laws in this country are so new, this eventuality hasn't come before the courts yet. So it would be an expensive operation to test the las....

4:27 pm

Atalante

*sigh* silly laws

4:28 pm

Atalante

could you find a lawyer who would be prepared to take the case as a freebie to get the laws tested? maybe someone would do it!

4:28 pm

Soodle

Sorry folks - I really didnt mean to hijack the chog with my difficulties.

4:29 pm

Atalante

it's fine :) we're just rewriting the lawsof Ireland for you

4:30 pm

jmcnrick

the laws in ireland do seem to be somewhat rigid

4:30 pm

jmcnrick

but i would talk to legal aid about it too

4:31 pm

Soodle

Ha! Thanks Ata. If my fairy godmother appeared before me tonight, and granted me one wish, it would be that that .......EEJIT would get his cummuppance! It seriously kills me that he is off in Southeast Asia, living it up, and I am here, doing my best to pick up the pieces he left behind...

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

hi nrkii

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

he will get his comeuppance I guarantee -- he will never get to know his great kids

4:32 pm

Soodle

I truly am the woman scorned. Not only that, but my 3 kids have been scorned... and that hurts a whole lot more

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

somewhat reminds me of the dustin hoffman film about divorce in italy

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

the film was in italian and with subtitles

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

your kids are being loved by a loving mom and that is worth more than anything else {{{{{soodle}}}}}

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

eno how is it going?

4:34 pm

Enomis65

Yeah, I am mid-way through the grid, can goto the list now!!! Told you I was stubborn jmc :)

4:35 pm

Soodle

I went to a funeral the other day. A very religous friend was there. She said to me, If God is all forgiving, is he going to say to Tom (when he dies)....C'mon in Tom.... sit down here, between Mother Theresa and Oskar Schindler.... Will he ever be sanctioned?

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

good for you eno!

4:35 pm

nrkii

32 left here... want to get 2 more before I list, but this grid is a beast

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

forgiving is not the same thing as a free pass

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

go nrkii go

4:37 pm

jmcnrick

okie-dokie I am taking a break and working on a tax return! fun fun fun

4:37 pm

jmcnrick

bbl *poof*

4:37 pm

nrkii

bye jmc!

4:37 pm

Soodle

Thanks JMC

4:38 pm

nrkii

getting nowhere on this grid...

4:39 pm

Atalante

nor me. but I have flu and therefore am excused :P

4:39 pm

nrkii

I'm so tired, I almost just posted 218 words into this chat

4:40 pm

lynxxx

there are some very odd new words here

4:40 pm

Soodle

Ata, is it normal flu or H1N1?

4:40 pm

Atalante

H1N1 *probably*

4:41 pm

Atalante

no way of telling without blood test, but all the right signs and symptoms etc

4:41 pm

Soodle

Ooooh, I hear its a horrible dose...

4:42 pm

Atalante

it hasn't be exactly fun ...

4:42 pm

Soodle

Bed. Hot drinks. and more bed

4:42 pm

Atalante

I have been all day :) this is my ffirst time I get to stay up for a few hours :):)

4:43 pm

Atalante

was feeling a lot better last week but it's come back now *sigh*

4:43 pm

nrkii

I never get the regular flu, but I wonder if I'm succeptible to H1N1?

4:43 pm

Soodle

Are you being well looked after by the other half, Ata?

4:44 pm

Atalante

um ......... that's an interesting question

4:45 pm

Atalante

he has a Cold at the moment, which is apparently significantly worse, so I should be looking after him

4:45 pm

Soodle

Well, if he is not looking after you, HAW on him. Make sure he gets your virus!!

4:45 pm

nrkii

lovely

4:45 pm

lynxxx

he's just so precious!

4:45 pm

nrkii

go ahead and look after him, and breath deeply into his face

4:45 pm

Scrabbler

Hello kiddies!

4:45 pm

Atalante

you can imagine how well THAT went down!

4:45 pm

Soodle

Ahh. The MAN flu!

Scrabbler

174 to go here.

4:46 pm

Atalante

but ... to give him a very small amount of praise, he has been bringing me glasses of iced water every few hours today, so maybe he's got the message

4:46 pm

Scrabbler

How are you feeling today, Ata?

4:47 pm

nrkii

go scrabs!

4:47 pm

nrkii

I have not spent much time on this grid yet. I will watch hockey game lataer and make more progress.

4:47 pm

Scrabbler

Go N go!

4:48 pm

Atalante

just *fluey*. temperature and shivering and blech. but! not as bad as yesterday :)

4:48 pm

welki

hi, babblers

4:48 pm

Scrabbler

How is your respiratory status, Ata?

4:48 pm

Soodle

Ata! Your just going to have to keep away from those bogs!

4:48 pm

Scrabbler

Hi welki

4:49 pm

Atalante

it's ok. not ideal, but nothing worrying

4:49 pm

lynxxx

hi Welki

4:49 pm

nrkii

hi welki!

4:49 pm

Scrabbler

Flu illness is widespread in my practice area.

4:49 pm

Atalante

the one good thing about having had bronchial problems all my life is that I can tell my peak flow generally without taking it, and can *usually* feel when something is turning problematic

4:49 pm

Soodle

scrabbler, I saw your facebook post. are you ok?

4:49 pm

beachboggle

hi babble pals!

4:50 pm

Atalante

hi beach! hi welki!

4:50 pm

Scrabbler

fe5 = description of many kids that I see in office--wild, uncivilized, unsocialized

4:50 pm

Scrabbler

Hi beachboggle

4:50 pm

nrkii

hi beach!

4:50 pm

Atalante

ty :)

4:50 pm

Scrabbler

Soodle, I was out of it, clearly, plus I forgot to turn ringer on for phone

4:51 pm

Scrabbler

Ata, are you on inhaled steroids?

4:51 pm

nrkii

makes it much easier to sleep through, scrabs

4:52 pm

Scrabbler

I am going to offer to take some on call time for my partner as a way to make it up to him

4:52 pm

Atalante

yep, budesonide and also long-term formoterol, and I keep a supply here of pred for emergencies

4:52 pm

Soodle

Scrabbler - somebody is trying to tell you something. You seem to be doing too much. You must take care of Scrabbler. Then Scrabbler can take care of the kiddies...

4:52 pm

Atalante

long-term??? long release!

4:53 pm

nrkii

budesonide sounds familiar... I think I've been on that before

4:53 pm

Atalante

I have this wonderful new-ish inhaler that gives a dose of steroids and a dose of long-release substance like albuterol. It's the best thing I've ever seen for asthma

4:54 pm

Scrabbler

It has been a wild week in the office, Soodle--flu illness + anxiety. very busy on phones and in office. We ran out of appts by 1 pm yesterday and added 3 hrs of appts with 2 extra people helping

4:54 pm

Scrabbler

budesonide = "Pulmicort" in US

4:54 pm

Atalante

but NO RICHARD!! :)

4:54 pm

Scrabbler

Probably Symbicort, Ata = budesonide + formoterol

4:55 pm

nrkii

yeah, maybe I was on Pulmicort at one point... I had post-pneumonia asthma for a while and had to use a couple diff inhalers over a 3-4 yr period

4:55 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, no Richard! He does not cope well with crises---> yelling + tantrums.

4:55 pm

Atalante

yep, that's the one, though I'll be changing to something v simialr soon - it's a new version of Symbicort that is a puffer thing not powder release

4:55 pm

nrkii

I don't get the flu, but I do get sinus infections that turn into bronchitis/pneumonia

4:56 pm

Scrabbler

We do not have dry powder inhaled Symbicort here, just metered dose inhaler

4:57 pm

Atalante

you should do soon - it's coming out under a different name though *trying to remember*

4:57 pm

Soodle

Nrki..... hope you were touching wood as you typed that you dont get flu.

4:58 pm

nrkii

Soodle, I seriously don't get it... it's a mystery to me

4:58 pm

nrkii

maybe I'll get H1N1 because it's different, though I hope I won't

4:59 pm

nrkii

but I get horribly sick with sinus infections 2 to 3 times each year, and for most of the rest of the year, I'm fighting off something that eventually becomes a sinus infection

4:59 pm

lynxxx

nrkii - maybe you should check with yr doctor on whether you should have the HiNi flu shot though. It is highly contagious

4:59 pm

Scrabbler

www.vitamindcouncil.org---vit D boosts the immune system

4:59 pm

Atalante

hmmm can't find it, but AstraZeneca started up a whole new factory this year for its production!

5:00 pm

Atalante

oh wait, I read that wrong

5:00 pm

welki

here, you can get both vaccinations starting monday, but the h1n1 only at a flu clinic ... and there are only four flu clinics in calgary (+ one million people)

5:00 pm

Soodle

Nah - dont mind me, Nrkii. In this part of the world, if you talk about something and you dont want it to affect you, you touch wood (how provincial?). You are grand!!

5:00 pm

Atalante

you only have the metered dose? weird. wonder why we only get the powder

5:00 pm

nrkii

Soodle, I'm a big fan of knocking on wood

5:01 pm

Scrabbler

I'll hear about it, Ata. Drug representatives, I mean, pharmaceutical reps, will inform us, or I will see an ad in a journal

5:01 pm

lynxxx

everyone knocks on wood don't they?

5:01 pm

nrkii

scrabs, I saw your vitamin D rec yesterday, and then promptly forgot to look it up... my brain is mush

5:01 pm

Scrabbler

Vit D will help that too, N

5:01 pm

nrkii

lol, okay :)

5:02 pm

Soodle

Here in Ireland, the doctors have been offered â‚¬10 tp administer the H1N1 vaccine. about 95% of GP's have refused to take up the offer, as it will cost them money.

Scrabbler

Yippee welki + N!

5:05 pm

nrkii

now I have to decide what evil food I'm going to indulge in for dinner tonight

5:05 pm

Scrabbler

BBL, I am going to wash the dishes then take a hot shower.

5:06 pm

Soodle

Oh, Nrkii. Can we help in this dreadful decision you must make?

5:06 pm

nrkii

yes soodle

5:06 pm

nrkii

see ya scrabs!

5:06 pm

welki

can i help before i start dragging laundry down the stairs?

5:07 pm

nrkii

I really really want a burger and sweet-potato fries, but if I get that, I have to go drive to get it, in the pouring precipitation

5:07 pm

Soodle

Welki - you dropped a sock on step 5....

5:07 pm

welki

worth it, nick ... yummmmm, sweet potato fries

5:07 pm

nrkii

so I could settle for a delivered stromboli, which is not nearly the same, but I get to stay dry

5:07 pm

Soodle

So, Nrkii, what have you got in the fridge?

5:07 pm

nrkii

or chinese, but there'd be too many leftovers, and I only get to indulge tonight

5:08 pm

nrkii

old eggs, soodle... oh, and cheese

5:08 pm

welki

we're going to try a new pub tonight ... it's a franchise, so not holding high expectations, but no dishes!

5:08 pm

nrkii

I have frozen dinner stuff that's quite good, but not what I want

5:08 pm

Soodle

Ok. Have you got access to fresh pasta?

5:08 pm

welki

stromboli or a burger ... can't get good stromboli here, so that's what i'd have

5:09 pm

welki

indulge = no cooking, no dishes, no fuss

5:09 pm

nrkii

some of those chain pubs are excellent, as long as you don't order stuff with cream sauces...

5:09 pm

nrkii

I have 6 oz of egg noodles

5:09 pm

welki

this is called brewster's (hahaha, punny)

5:09 pm

nrkii

not fresh pasta, no

5:10 pm

nrkii

plus, you're going dangerously close to suggesting I cook something soodle... :)

5:10 pm

Soodle

OMG - a philistine. No fresh pasta...(lol)

5:10 pm

nrkii

I already cooked pot roast earlier this week, and applesauce yesterday... that's my limit for one week

5:10 pm

Soodle

Ok. Dried pasta?

5:11 pm

nrkii

at a place called brewsters, I'd set my sights on a burger or fish and chips

5:11 pm

nrkii

6 oz egg noodles, soodle, that's it

5:12 pm

Soodle

Nrkii. Sorry. I lost the brief there. Brewsters. Definetly. and Fish and chips.

5:13 pm

nrkii

oh, that was my advice for welki

5:13 pm

nrkii

though fish and chips would be good too... would require a longer drive...

5:13 pm

Soodle

Actually, any sort of takeaway sounds good. You dont have to cook - u

5:14 pm

Soodle

You dont have to clean up.... Oh yes. A take away for sure!!

5:14 pm

nrkii

dammit, thunder... aargh! I'm gonna starve tonight

5:17 pm

nrkii

order placed... bacon cheddar cheeseburger and sweet potato fries... thunderstorm be damned

5:17 pm

nrkii

gotta go... happy babbling all!

5:18 pm

Atalante

sounds wonderful!

5:21 pm

Enomis65

I am frustrated with this grid... it does not seem to end!

5:23 pm

you set your sights high, soodle ... lol

5:24 pm

Soodle

What can I say, Welki? Aim high!!

5:25 pm

welki

i'd say, 'aim lower' ;)

5:25 pm

Soodle

Been there, done that!! -

5:25 pm

welki

enomis, can i help with a clue or two before i stop procrastinating?

5:27 pm

Soodle

What time is it in Canada now?

5:27 pm

welki

where i am, it's 4:30 pm, where enomis is, it's 6:30 pm

5:29 pm

welki

can't delay the inevitable ... laundry time. have a good evening, folks

5:29 pm

Soodle

Oh my! I didnt even know there were different time zones in canada!

5:30 pm

Soodle

What a klutz!!

5:30 pm
