Good morning/evening all. Lots of words today!

6:27 am

NonnieLight

hello Haz

6:27 am

herinfernallady

Hello Haz

6:28 am

herinfernallady

I am missing 3 C words

6:28 am

hurshy

haz, how much have i got to worry about mo4 as a prefix?

6:28 am

Haz1558

I'm dismayed by the mo7/32.

6:28 am

hurshy

hear, hear

6:29 am

NonnieLight

NBT - now I can go to work with a smile on my face. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

6:29 am

I tried it and was horrified.

Bye Nonnie.

6:30 am

mrpresident

bye nonnie!

6:30 am

herinfernallady

Bye Nonnie.

6:30 am

ursh

me too haz we got a clout at school for saying words like deadest etc

6:30 am

herinfernallady

One more C words

6:31 am

mrpresident

have been watching the doco called '21 Up' from various countries... incredible stories

6:31 am

Haz1558

I know. But at least it wouldn't accept bestest if it were in the grid.

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Haz. How come you lot in the UK seem to get the best dross mags on celebrates

6:38 am

Haz1558

We do?

6:38 am

Haz1558

There seem to be lots of them, I'll grant you that.

6:39 am

hurshy

somehow i doubt that's one of haz's many areas of expertise, though...

6:39 am

ursh

what is a dross mag

6:40 am

Haz1558

I look at the front pages on the shelves but can't summon up the interest to delve deeper.

6:40 am

hurshy

well, dross is what you burn away to purify gold - the crap clinging to the valuable stuff.

6:40 am

herinfernallady

Its a trashy Celeb mag.

6:40 am

hurshy

nice metaphor, really.

6:41 am

ursh

oh OK tx hurshy - feel the same as Haz

6:41 am

herinfernallady

I see them online because I really think its kind of creepy to make stories up and stalk people. The only valuable stuff in those mags for me is recipes and crosswords

6:41 am

Haz1558

I'm assuming people must buy them but it seems to be the same 'celebrities' facing the same crises week after week.

6:41 am

Haz1558

Two pounds gained, that kind of thing.

6:42 am

o-o

dross must be uses in a dyslogistic sense

6:42 am

o-o

used, that is

6:49 am

mrpresident

I have to go watch the Catherine Tate Show... too right and so wrong!

HI Nef

7:27 am

herinfernallady

aww Thank you Nef. i did on Saturday

7:27 am

Nef

hi elder.. It's nice to know it starts out easy; it's the sheer size that scares me off

7:29 am

Nef

did you do anything special for you day? Any "special" gifts?

7:30 am

herinfernallady

I did. B.f spoilt me rotten. DVD's cds and Pc Game

7:30 am

herinfernallady

o and lunch and dinner out

7:30 am

Nef

NICE! :-D

7:31 am

herinfernallady

He is a good sort. He even took the trash out no questions needed

Nef

Wow; that's extra special!

7:32 am

herinfernallady

Yes

7:33 am

herinfernallady

The CDs / DVD were second hand but still got very spoilt

7:33 am

Nef

if he did it without being told; then you better hang on to him for sure!

7:34 am

herinfernallady

Well I put the DVDs and CDs on hold for my self with intentions of paying for it. But he bought it. The gme Sims 3 and CD of Lilly Allen was a suprise

7:34 am

Nef

if they were ones you like/wanted and don't have any skips, I don't think it matters if they are 2nd hand

7:35 am

Nef

sounds like a very special gift then! :-)

7:35 am

herinfernallady

Yes. Well Torchwood is still hideously expensive but I got this half price. Tis from a store we trust

7:35 am

Nef

great!

7:36 am

herinfernallady

We both know one of the sales staff. What have you been doing with yourself Nef

7:37 am

Nef

Yikes! I just saw the time; gotta get my butt in gear! Hope you guys have a great day; and herin, I hope your special day lasts all year long! (((Herin))) <birthday hugs>

8:01 am

Trifioso

yes, I must admit, I don't change mine very often...

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

orange and avocado -- yeehaw! LOL

8:01 am

Judi

Gosh darn. I got rid of my scanner too soon. I would be able to scan a good childhood picture. I was wearing feety pajamas and had fallen into my bottom dresser drawer. I got stuck. My parents thought it was hilarious and took pictures. Pig tails and legs akimbo.

8:01 am

hego

That'one heck of a ring you have,

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

judi LOL!!

8:01 am

EvaNadine

i used to change mine daily, but that was back when i actually had time to babble more often.
nowadays, ill pop in here in the morning, then maybe once or twice throughout the day. stupid work keeps me busy these days. :(

8:02 am

Trifioso

lol judi! I have a few shriekers too, but my scanner isn't hooked up at present, so the bad prom one will have to do

8:02 am

Trifioso

8:02 am

hego

Eva's doning something right. Lots of luck, Honey

8:03 am

8:03 am

hego

8:03 am

EvaNadine

true, trif. no matter how cranky i may get here, i know i have it great, compared to so many others!

8:03 am

hego

Sure did.

8:04 am

Judi

It was a curse being the youngest child in the family, Trif. I only got photographed when I did something stupid. And of course, my mother cut my hair until I was about 11, so I had the uneven chopped bangs going for me.

8:04 am

EvaNadine

for the record, its not one big giant rock, though it does look like that in the photo. but the center stone is still pretty darn big!

8:05 am

EvaNadine

judi -- when i was, i dunno, 12-ish, my mom bought me my first bra-and-panties set for christmas. she told me to go try it on to make sure it fit + then she took pictures of me in it!!
i was *mortified!*

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

eva, the horror!! LOL

8:06 am

Trifioso

8:35 am

Merk

Not to discourage you because the grid is very friendly, it also felt like 5 million m words and s. Enjoy all the suffixes. Without them it feels like you'd have less than half the words.

8:36 am

Merk

well, I am not there yet... but usually there is a requirement that a person not student teach where they or their children attended... and both are true for me. However, since my ultimate goal is to teach at our neighborhood school, I may request it! And I will...

1:45 pm

dcseain

yes, that is yummy, lyn. i sometimes sprinkle with garlic salt and cilantro, too.

1:46 pm

EvaNadine

i have a jar of "green goo" -- some concoction my parents friends make -- that you serve over cream cheese on crackers.
i really really really want some, but alas, i have no cream cheese!

1:46 pm

dcseain

what's it taste like, EvaN?

1:46 pm

Atalante

or avocado and cheese

1:46 pm

lynxxx

You lost me with cilantro - coriander repeats on me terribly.

1:47 pm

dcseain

totally don't eat it then :) Tom agrees with you, so i rarely have any in the house anymore

1:47 pm

Atalante

cilantro is the beeeeest

1:48 pm

dcseain

to5 dinged, brb

1:49 pm

lynxxx

Ata - do you call it cilantro in the UK? it is just coriander here. I had to googe it when I first heard cilantro

1:50 pm

EvaNadine

the recipe of green goo is a mystery.
but it seems like it might be some sort of sweet relish + jalapenos or something like that. it is mostly sweet with a little kick...

1:51 pm

blueheron

Eva, it's pepper jelly

1:52 pm

EvaNadine

pepper jelly. explain... :)

1:53 pm

blueheron

It's made with either regular peppers or jalepenos or both. Just like any jelly

1:53 pm

dcseain

pepper jelly, yes, that matches

1:53 pm

lynxxx

looks easy to make too

1:53 pm

Atalante

no, coriander here absolutely. I'm just used enough to hearing cilantro from time in Oregon

1:53 pm

dcseain

here in NA, cilantro is the leaf, coriander the seed, though coriander leaf is known due to people from India

1:54 pm

blueheron

it's delicious anyway. I've put it on top if cheddar cheese before.

1:54 pm

dcseain

Atalante

but it was a bit of a scare!

3:05 pm

4:12 pm

4:13 pm

ch1212

Quiet as a spring lamb up this way, but I saw on the news it hit east Seattle harder.

4:14 pm

stidmama

yes, the winds often come up over the mountains and then only really reach ground level on that shore...

4:14 pm

nrkii

hurshy, I've never gone over 500 points before, so getting 625 was definitely a fluke...

4:14 pm

No. Only the first book is coming out on amazon, and it's an insanely expensive hardcover version. (Insert long, annoying publishing business story here.) So you'll have to just go through lulu again. Thanks!

4:26 pm

gapeach's friend...log out of her account, then log back in with a name you pick for yourself. if you want to go pro, there should be a link somewhere.

5:54 pm

featherbee

when you first sign up for free, you get all the tile stats and word stats. after a 2 week trial period, those go away. if you want them back, you pay about $15 for one time fee and you get all the stats back forever, and a nifty icon and flag of your choice.

he was so pure he never looked at his mothers face or the queens face and took a vow of celibacy at 9

7:08 pm

Aloyisius

7:08 pm

Aloyisius

I think he went a bit too far, sounds not normal to me, lol..

yes with out the extra i ---- maybe there is another one with the i

7:09 pm

jmcnrick

does seem to be a bit obsessive

7:09 pm

7:10 pm

There is a Aloyisius school in New Zealand, all the saint info is without the i

7:14 pm

Aloyisius

wowzer.. I never googled the name.. is that how you found out, inge?

the highlight of the day was an email from one of my sisters

7:42 pm

jmcnrick

she wrote: Your voice at the end of our conversation had that sort of "I am going to step back calmly and rationally and punch somebody's lights out" tone to it. Always liked that tone.

7:42 pm

jmcnrick

made me quietly proud

7:42 pm

Aloyisius

8:05 pm

herinfernallady

Apparently

8:05 pm

welki

8:08 pm

Aloyisius

wow, have times changed.. when we applied for a mortgage, the bank officer ignored me, only spoke to hubby till I piped up, "I work too".. "no offense mrs., but YOU DON'T COUNT" ! I'll never ever forget that

8:09 pm

herinfernallady

Wow Aloy.

8:09 pm

Aloyisius

well, jmc.. this was in 1970

8:10 pm

welki

think we've all been on that road ... pity the salesMAN who tries that with me. my husband blanches and says, 'bud, you're in trouble now'

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

the law in 1974 was that they could not do that

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

but then you get the dumb bints I go to school with that perpetuates the myth that blondes are dumb

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

I don't know about 1970

8:11 pm

jmcnrick

my favorite was that when my husband died these women asked me if i was going to keep the law practice like I was only practicing law to keep him company

8:11 pm

Aloyisius

things were definitely different then, I even got static for wanting to keep my first name on my credit cards.. believe it or not.. "people will think you are divorced".. well, duh.. I don't care what they think, my husbands first name is NOT my first name!

8:12 pm

Trifioso

one of the women ministers at our church was asked "is it still called a sermon when a woman gives it?" uhhh...yeah. and Hi, by the way!

Triffiessssss

Aloyisius

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

8:15 pm

jillibus

back in the 50s in Quebec (ruled then by the church) if a child needed surgery and the father was away, the mother could not sign permission.

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

Ok well you can copy music onto them. Instead of buying and spending a lot on a new ipod I will buy one of them and put it in my phone

8:16 pm

jmcnrick

huh let us know if that works

8:16 pm

Aloyisius

ooh, wonder if it would be compatible

8:17 pm

jacq

it does work

8:17 pm

herinfernallady

It should work

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

well there you go now

8:17 pm

jacq

8:17 pm

jillibus

jacq

8:17 pm

Aloyisius

hi jilli... that is so ridiculous it is sad, sad, sad.. but thanks for sharing

8:18 pm

jillibus

thanks, aloy -- thank goodness it's changed now, but it took a long time

8:18 pm

Aloyisius

our son would have died because his dad was often away on trips

8:18 pm

jillibus

hi jacq

8:18 pm

jacq

in the uk in the 70's a woman couldn;t have a sterilisation or a hysterectomy without her husbands cinsent

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

what happened to children with only a mother?

8:19 pm

jillibus

aloy, that's probably what happened more than a few times then.

8:19 pm

Aloyisius

.. can't bear to think of it, jilli.. :-(

8:20 pm

Aloyisius

I would have forged the dad's signature.. time for civil disobedience

8:20 pm

jillibus

jmc, probably a male relative would do. There were large families in RC Quebec. Had a friend who was one of 21 children.

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

me too

8:20 pm

Aloyisius

or I would have borrowed a man for a surrogate father

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

8:26 pm

Scrabbler

8:26 pm

Aloyisius

Scrabbler

I have co9, what is the other 9?

8:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:27 pm

Scrabbler

Things were strict in the "old days."

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

i always liked the story of no patent leather shoes for the girls

8:27 pm

Scrabbler

I guessed at mo8 + 9--silly words

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

My mother used to get in trouble for looking at her friend

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

i have mo8 but the 9 alludes me

8:28 pm

Aloyisius

8:30 pm

herinfernallady

Ok here is a giggle. I never got one detention in high school

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

Me too, Owl--and that pissed off my younger sibs.

Scrabbler

cybernan

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

merryl streep cyber

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

8:34 pm

cybernan

ty jmc -- couldn't see that!

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

Aloy, it has been insane for 3 wks, and even worse over the last week--phone calls, sick kids, anxiety. The local schools are full of H1N1 disease.

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

8:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am a first born, too. like that, also.

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

i am the youngest :-P

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

Not perfect, but goody twoshoes, nerv wanted to screw up or disappoint my parents

8:36 pm

Aloyisius

aww, sorry, Scrabs.. the local news affirms what you are saying, close to a panic amongst parents, trying to protect their kids, so whenever they run a fever.. off to the doc's, because they can't get the vaccination yet

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

*never

8:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

anyone who wonders what phillyis like should watch "parking wars" on A & E

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

poor scrabs

8:37 pm

Scrabbler

It was front page article in Sunday's paper--schools are seeing 25-30% absenteesim.

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

well people tell you to keep your kid home if they are sick

8:38 pm

Scrabbler

I have been placing high-risk kids on Tamiflu and telling other parents about "supportive care"--hydration, rest, analgesia

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

ether ester ether ester ether ester

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

now maybe i got that out of my system

8:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, here in MD they are particularly hard hit. a nineteen yr old just died of it last week

8:39 pm

Aloyisius

was at the doc's the other day (follow up for ear infection) and a mom came in with her feverish daughter.. first thing the receptionist did was hand a face mask to the kid to put on

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

Current rule is that kids may return when fever-free for 24 hrs but studies are showing secretion of H1N1 virus up to 12 days after onset of illness and long after fever is gone

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

*will try ester + ether*

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

ester ether

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

Scrabbler

8:40 pm

Aloyisius

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

Good night, JM

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

8:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

was she ill?

8:44 pm

jillibus

oh scrabs, you've been having a really hard time, and those losses too!

8:44 pm

Scrabbler

My cousin found her dead in home, so we hope it was a sudden, painless, peaceful death.

8:44 pm

Aloyisius

I hope she shared some of her recipes with you and others.. we remember so many departed loved ones when we fix "their" dishes

8:44 pm

Scrabbler

Not ill--cooked on Sunday, made a pie. She was in "good" shape for 89.

8:45 pm

Aloyisius

perhaps an aneurysm?

8:45 pm

jillibus

sounds as if she made her exit the way we'd all like to, scrabs.

8:45 pm

Aloyisius

amen to that, jilli

8:45 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, Jilli, father of a patient (11 yr old boy) died last week, my nephew's 18 yr old friend hung himself last wk, uncle died in May, and I am still dealing with Mary's death from 12 mo ago..

8:47 pm

jillibus

8:47 pm

lbdawger
