Tui4

I can see the appeal.. although I only have 9 words. but then, I'm cooking dinner at the same time

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

didn't know so 8 was a word

12:38 am

justafreep

me neither, dee

12:39 am

justafreep

I also am now convinced that there aren't 10 H words in this grid. Must be a typo :-)

maniac_mitch

gi 7/8 is a weird one, took me a while

12:40 am

lynxxx

Volley looks the same - you get a word in the middle - white - and you have to enter associated words which will lead onto other etc - eg paper

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

I think you have to have a google account

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

there is an actual boggle game now at pogo.com

12:42 am

lynxxx

No you don't Volley - I don't

12:42 am

rbud

I've played it before without a google account, might be able to locate a link...

12:43 am

justafreep

lynxx - I find it frustrating since I can make associations that the puzzle maker doesn't. Or it just isn't quite working

12:43 am

dcseain

link for which

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

do you use another browser other than IE?

12:43 am

dcseain

justafreep

it's funny that olde isn't a word, even though it probably appears more often in print than most babblets

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

true

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

I also think "weeing" should be a word...

12:53 am

dcseain

indeed, and it's a valid archaic form

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

as wee wee all the way home is weeing

12:53 am

1:12 am

dcseain

VolleymomDee

1:47 am

jillibus

2 blanks -- the E on each side

1:48 am

flosey

1:48 am

GroovyKiwi

that was rude naughty darty and ruru

1:48 am

jillibus

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

goose down for ei 4

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

ei 5 the formal content of a culture, encompassing its system of ideas, criteria for interpreting experience, etc.

1:49 am

jillibus

phant -- engine, as I'm sure you've all noticed

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

I am getting cautiously excited....

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

in the next couple of weeks, I am supposed to be getting a new computer (Christmas present from my hubby)...

1:50 am

jillibus

can you clue the en7 please, dee?

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

excited but nervous about transfer of files

1:51 am

jillibus

Oh, lovely, dee -- what kind?

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

en 7... what Americans, Brits, Canadians speak (the language)..

1:51 am

jillibus

yes, I know, it's scary

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

all I know is the brand... haven't seen the specs yet... an HP... hubby emailed my brother and they worked out details (also a bit scary)

1:52 am

jillibus

swat me with a haddock, duh! But thanks, dee

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

not sure why that isn't a proper noun though... looking at def

1:52 am

GroovyKiwi

prefer salmon myself but that would be a waste lol

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

actually a funny story about the puter...

1:53 am

jillibus

I suppose en7 isn't a proper noun -- you "put the en7 on" a ball to make it go where you want

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

my brother came at Thanksgiving... I had been complaining about my 10 year old gateway for awhile (it has been an amazing computer, but it is old and slow)... so when my brother was here, he went to my office to "check it out" - to see what might be removed for speed, etc

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

aww billiards... hadn't thot of that

1:54 am

jillibus

so NBT :)

1:54 am

1:55 am

jillibus

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

1:55 am

jillibus

oh wow!

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

and there is nothing more you can remove YAY ME>>>>

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

I think that is what did it...

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

my gateway was purchased when they had the "cow" stores, and it truly has been amazing for many, many years...

1:56 am

jillibus

what a useful brother!

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

he is a sweetie

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

have used it for many clients since 1999... lots of Excel worksheets, brochures, publisher flyers, word documents, presentations... published some great looking things...

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

so this is all a bit scary... as well as incredibly exciting

1:58 am

jillibus

dee, get an expert to transfer the files

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

store in town didn't have the one hubby wanted, and my daughter told me today, he drove 1 1/2 hours from here to get it, so I am so hopeful it is wonderful

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

that is what is happening now jili! He even hired one of his clients to do that... so it is there now with my old one, and this one is a loner....

1:59 am

jillibus

I'm sure it will be, dee

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

this is probably the 2nd best present I have gotten in 36 years...

1:59 am

jillibus

what was the best?

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

I know it sounds dorky... but having a fast computer is like giving me 3 libraries... I love research...

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

I know it sounds dorky... but having a fast computer is like giving me 3 libraries... I love research...
At 10 years, he gave me my piano... came home from work and it was in our living room with a huge red bow on it...

2:01 am

jillibus

oh dee, what a great hubby!

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

oh, and I did get a pretty cool trilliant diamond right before I quit working in 1994

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

2:02 am

jillibus

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

and it is supposed to have a printer that is 2 x as fast as the one I have... that will be phenomenal...

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

2:28 am

jillibus

oh yes -- decades ago

2:28 am

westford

I'm very late tonight

2:28 am

westford

I thought it might just be a New England thing we have a lot of strange terms

2:29 am

westford

Andree how is your little guy?

2:29 am

jillibus

so has that got anything to do with pulling underwear up over butts?

2:29 am

lynxxx

Hi, back. Hi West!

2:29 am

jillibus

hi lynxxx!

2:29 am

westford

2:29 am

lynxxx

jillibus

2:31 am

Andree

hi lynxxx

2:31 am

westford

I think it was a trick boys did to boys mostly

2:31 am

lynxxx

hi Andree - hope you mean behavior and he's not sick?

2:32 am

westford

aww he's got spirit

2:33 am

Andree

no lynxxx just so full of energy

2:33 am

jillibus

are you taking him to Obedience classes, andree?

2:34 am

lynxxx

only another 10 months and he'll settle down - and lots of walking is good for you too

2:35 am

Andree

not yet jilli although he does need to go, there are not enough puppies for a class so i have been in touch with trainer and she will come here for a 1 on 1, but i would prefer a class with other dogs so will try furthur afield

2:36 am

lynxxx

phantom:dignity

2:36 am

jillibus

good for you -- and he sounds as if Agility would be a good idea later!

2:37 am

Andree

he is just full of beans, loves everyone and all other dogs and the kids

2:37 am

Andree

agility?

2:38 am

lynxxx

he was a good choice wasn't he - how sweet.

2:38 am

jillibus

Don't they have that in Oz? It's like an obstacle course race.

2:39 am

lynxxx

We do Jilli, probably not as common as where you are

2:40 am

Andree

great choice, he is the perfect dog for me even if he is disobedient, he is only 41/2 months after all

2:40 am

Andree

2:49 am

westford

ty lyn

2:50 am

Andree

thx lynxxx

2:51 am

westford

dal I like when words are repeated if I can remember them from the day before lol

2:51 am

lynxxx

You sometimes get 3/4 days with similar letters but rearranged and so the words repeat Dalmation

2:52 am

dalmatian5

problem is that the easy words are the ones from yesterday

2:52 am

Andree

although it's not a word i tried shilo and remember the same word a day or 2 ago

2:53 am

lynxxx

There is a few nasty new ones in here just to even it out

jillibus

YAY andree!!!

Any nibbles with your selling agent Andree? I have also been thinking of ***** (!forgotten her name!) i the West, she was out in the country, hope not near the fires

3:00 am

lynxxx

Congrats Andree!

3:01 am

Andree

3:05 am

lynxxx

3:05 am

Andree

at least i am consistant in my erratic babbling

3:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:05 am

Andree

bye jilli

3:05 am

Andree

hi haz

3:06 am

Haz1558

Hello! I vaguely remember hearing that Sandyloo had computer problems but that was a long time ago.

3:07 am

lynxxx

remember I did email her and she replied - but that was early after the operation. Her computer was down. Many months later I got a Facebook invitation to her but I deleted that - and all the others I had - can't handle Facebook

3:07 am

Andree

ages ago

3:07 am

lynxxx

Good morning Haz

3:07 am

Haz1558

But you're right, her daughter's operation was imminent and then we heard nothing.

3:07 am

Andree

lol, me either lynxxx

3:08 am

Haz1558

I've not tried Facebook, lynxxx, some love it, others not so much.

3:08 am

Haz1558

Did you use it for a while, lynxxx?

3:08 am

Andree

had my 14 year old grandaughter overnight and she spent 3 hours on facebook, so she was great company... NOT

3:09 am

Haz1558

I know! Imagine sitting at a computer screen for hours talking to other people, very strange behaviour. (Irony intended!)

3:10 am

Andree

ha ha

3:10 am

lynxxx

Can't cope with Friend invites from (a) people I don't know and (b) people I do know but don't like and certainly don't want to maintain correspondence with. Twitter seems better - but not joined into that either

3:10 am

Haz1558

Both my daughters use facebook, older one seemed to be obsessed for a while with the farm game.

3:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, I imagine the Friends invite thing must be fraught with tension.

3:11 am

Haz1558

I also don't think I'd like the idea of people seeing what other people have written - do you not have to be very careful? It wouldn't be a problem for me, being so diplomatic all the time.

3:11 am

dalmatian5

Andree, is corn flour the same as corn meal?

3:11 am

lynxxx

Oh Haz - you must try this game DC recommended....http://funny-farm.appsp
ot.com/game/linx....you will like it.

3:12 am

Andree

i would be in a state about not wanting certain persons but how would you knock them back without appearing rude

3:12 am

Haz1558

I'll take a note of it, lynxxx, thanks.

3:12 am

lynxxx

No Dalmation...its like very fine white flour

3:12 am

Andree

no dalma

3:13 am

dalmatian5

Is corn flour fine like regular flour?

3:13 am

dalmatian5

shert

3:13 am

lynxxx

Exactly my problem Andree

3:13 am

Andree

its finer and has a silky feel

3:14 am

Atalante

you just click ignore their friend invitation, they don't know you've done that

3:14 am

dalmatian5

I am not sure we have that here. I am going to have to look for it.

3:15 am

Haz1558

So it doesn't come up with flashing lights and sirens 'Ata has decided to ignore you'?

3:15 am

Andree

it seems that once you are on facebook you just let anyone even if only aquaintances on

3:15 am

Atalante

nope, not at all

3:15 am

Atalante

I only have people I wish to talk to on mine

3:16 am

lynxxx

Good morning Ata...and have you got the Word Link game open too

3:16 am

Andree

maybe called cornstarch [i think]

3:16 am

Haz1558

So, if you deny a friend invite, do they not put two and two together and have a sulk?

3:16 am

Atalante

yes lyn!

3:16 am

Haz1558

I have it open, what do I guess?

3:16 am

lynxxx

I had to beat my daughter to get off my game!

3:17 am

Atalante

only if they bother to look whether you've actually denied it or whether you just havent see it / couldn't be bothered to answer it

3:17 am

Andree

and hi ata

3:17 am

Atalante

and hi!

3:18 am

Atalante

the only annoying thing about the word game is that it doesn't take so many obvious answers

3:18 am

lynxxx

You have white in the centre Haz?.put paper in and see what happens. you are really looking for linked compound or associated words

3:18 am

dalmatian5

oh, of course, we have cornstarch - here it is used as a thickener. I cannot imagine putting it in shortbread.

3:18 am

Haz1558

Okay....

3:19 am

Andree

try it, we use it as a thickener too

3:19 am

Haz1558

The cornflour works, dalmatia, it gives a nice crispness to the shortbread.

3:20 am

dalmatian5

I am going to try your recipe Andree

3:20 am

lynxxx

It is great Dalmation - I know, I made mountains! Andree's dad was right

3:21 am

dalmatian5

thanks

3:21 am

Haz1558

hurshy's going to be pleased today, her cat is in the grid.

3:21 am

Atalante

TOlkien would be horrified that nigglish wasn't allowed

3:22 am

lynxxx

and Diem is here too

3:23 am

Atalante

and I can assure you that weeing is something we all do!

3:23 am

Haz1558

(Pssst, Ata, do you suppose that if lynxxx did like facebook and that if I had a facebook acount, would she let you and me be friends? I've had a crisis of confidence)

3:24 am

Atalante

(oooo good question. Probably not. but at least we can identify what breed Stew is, so we have a hope)

3:24 am

Haz1558

I know, and we do ask kindly after him often.

3:24 am

lynxxx

see - I can't even understand what you are saying. facebook is not for old ladies!

3:25 am

Haz1558

You're not old, lynxxx, you're just mature for your age!

3:25 am

Atalante

you're the last person I'd consider as old!!

3:25 am

Haz1558

Three words you should never attach to any sentence to a women 'for your age'.

3:26 am

Haz1558

You mean you'd think I was old before you'd think that lynxxx was old?

3:26 am

lynxxx

and speaking of Stew, did you get a chance to look at that woman's dog drawings Ata?

3:26 am

Atalante

yes! they are really lovely, aren't they? I love people who can capture personality in drawings

3:26 am

Andree

dinner time for me, daughter had cooked tonight so i must go and show appreciation, by all and happy babbling

3:26 am

Haz1558

Just found ol6/21 - very relevant!

3:27 am

lynxxx

How nice to be spoilt, bye Andree and Hugo

3:27 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree, nice to see you and enjoy dinner.

3:27 am

Andree

and let me know how the shorbread goes dalma

3:28 am

Atalante

I really did enjoy the guessing game the other day when people tried to work out Stew was a greyhound

3:28 am

Haz1558

Is it not obvious that Stew is a greyhound?

3:29 am

Atalante

I think so!

3:29 am

Atalante

it ranged from an afghan to goodness knows what lol

3:29 am

Haz1558

Afghan? My word!

3:30 am

lynxxx

great dane. I've always been pretty interested in dogs - I suppose others aren't

3:30 am

Haz1558

Great Dane? At least nobody guessed a Chihuahua. Please tell me they didn't.

3:31 am

Atalante

not that they admitted to

3:31 am

Haz1558

I'm with you, lynxxx, always liked to know dog breeds, but they keep coming up with more. I'm okay on the old faithfuls.

3:31 am

ursh

surely Stew has been weeing on lynxx's car wheels

3:32 am

ursh

and hello everyone - stupid enable

3:32 am

Haz1558

Hello, ursh.

3:33 am

lynxxx

hi Ursh

3:33 am

ursh

i even tried it with 3 e's

3:34 am

Haz1558

That would be a wee bit heavy on the vowels.

3:34 am

lynxxx

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMPvDWs
1MmY&feature=related ... this is exactly what Stew is doing now

3:36 am

dalmatian5

Just checking - is icing sugar our powdered sugar and is a moderate oven about 350 degrees?

3:36 am

Atalante

awwwww! play play mom!

3:36 am

Atalante

yes to the icing sugar

3:37 am

lynxxx

of 350 is what you cook a cake at, yes

3:37 am

FMitch

Morning all

3:38 am

dalmatian5

3:38 am

Haz1558

Good morning, FM!

3:38 am

Atalante

3:38 am

lynxxx

goodmorning FM

3:38 am

FMitch

Hi Haz, much of the white stuff your way?
Helloooo Ata and lynxxx

3:38 am

Haz1558

Greetings, oh Fair Maiden!

3:39 am

FMitch

that sould be "oh grey maiden" :)

3:39 am

Haz1558

Don't talk to me about white stuff. Yes, it snowed again last night. We haven't had any kind of thaw since before Christmas.

3:40 am

FMitch

and more forecast for today too, they say we could get up to 10"!

3:40 am

Haz1558

Grey Maiden doesn't sound as good.

3:40 am

Haz1558

Or even Fairly Grey Maiden, it sounds so indecisive.

3:40 am

lynxxx

Wouldn't that be good Haz, no slush or is it too icy?

3:40 am

FMitch

true

3:41 am

Haz1558

It's too icy, lynxxx.

3:41 am

FMitch

Brakes on my car were frozen yesterday but finally managed to use the car about 3pm.

Haz1558

The problem was that we had about 5 inches of snow before Christmas, It got packed down hard on the pavements, we then had a very little rain which froze so5 and turned already treacherous pavements into ice-rinks.

3:42 am

Haz1558

And now we have more snow on top of the ice.

3:42 am

FMitch

snow is copable with but the ice makes everything treacherous.

3:42 am

Haz1558

It's been the coldest December in NI for 30 years. I don't remember a period of such sustained iciness.

3:43 am

FMitch

Bought a pair of wellies yesterday in the hope that their deep tread will be useful for navigating my hill.

3:43 am

lynxxx

See I always expected that all of GB would have snow in Winter...lots, just like in all those Christmas cards

3:43 am

Haz1558

I know the Americans will have tales to tell of -300 with a windchill of 15,000, but while they're not about, we'll have a little moan.

3:43 am

lynxxx

Sounds like you need those ski poles with spikes on the end!

3:43 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

3:44 am

Haz1558

Parts of Scotland will have snow every year - over here we'll have a bit but it usually melts quickly. Not this year.

3:45 am

FMitch

lynxx we have had very mild winters in the south for the last few decades, nothing like we are experiencing now.

3:45 am

Haz1558

That's the thing, lynxxx. Places like Austrai and Switzerland can deal with the stuff because they get huge quantities every year. They're equipped. We're not ready, not even for silly amounts.

3:45 am

lynxxx

so is this like the ol*** days?

3:46 am

FMitch

looking out the window now - yes lynxxx :)

3:46 am

FMitch

So apart from the cold how is everyone?

3:46 am

Haz1558

Husband is thoroughly fed up trying to navigate icy country roads, plus it's dangerous to try to move livestock within the farms because of ice.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Apart from the cold, I'm fine. How are you?

3:47 am

FMitch

Is F still home or has she gone back to Edinburgh?

3:47 am

lynxxx

poor outside animals

3:47 am

Haz1558

She's back to Edinburgh, caught her flight yesterday. She wasn't looking forward to going back, her flat is not well heated.

3:47 am

Atalante

poor Sppangle in her kennel

3:48 am

FMitch

Am happy and warm, have kitchen full of food and can slide to the the shops so am not complaining *grin*

3:48 am

lynxxx

Note: I didn't say that!

3:48 am

Haz1558

Spangle has been sleeping inside for the past three nights....

3:48 am

FMitch

Wow!

3:48 am

lynxxx

Yay, happy dog!

3:48 am

FMitch

you are spoiling her.

3:48 am

Atalante

she has??! she settled down inside?! wow

3:49 am

lynxxx

did she try and sneak up the stairs

3:49 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm just an old softy. Husband thinks it's the slippery slope.

3:49 am

Atalante

looool i bet he does

3:49 am

Atalante

and she didn't wake you up at 3am to get outside?

3:49 am

FMitch

Next you will be upgrading her gruel

3:49 am

lynxxx

lol

3:50 am

Haz1558

I put her in the kitchen with the light on in the utility room and closed the door. I don't know if the light kept her happy or what. And no, she never needs to go out through the night.

3:50 am

Atalante

but she didn't try to get back to her kennel? she's obviously realised the joy of inside ;)

3:51 am

Haz1558

No, she settled down. However, last night, I did put her in her kennel. Apparently she barked and daughter went down and let her out.... A precedent has been set.

3:51 am

FMitch

Spangle will now be expecting central heating and /or air con in her kennel from now on, you do realise.

3:52 am

Atalante

I think so .... she gets the kitchen from now on!

3:52 am

Haz1558

It'll take husband to put her into the kennel to get her back into the normal routine. She's so obedient for him that she trots straight into the kennel, doesn't even take time for a pre-bed piddle!

3:52 am

FMitch

Loving yr icon Ata

3:52 am

Atalante

awwww. he's a hard taskmaster

3:53 am

Atalante

she's such a bouncy girl :)

3:53 am

FMitch

awe Spangle

3:53 am

Haz1558

I know. I keep on the right side of him. I don't fancy sleeping in the garage.

3:53 am

lynxxx

ROFL!

3:53 am

FMitch

LOL

3:54 am

Haz1558

Ata, looking at bouncy Hobbit and the picture of Cone of Shame Hobbit - there's bound to be room for a Before and After campaign.

3:54 am

Atalante

lol yes! talk about extremes of doggy faces

3:55 am

Haz1558

I think husband feels a bit miffed that his 'double-insulated' kennel that he lovingly customised for her, is being neglected.

3:55 am

FMitch

tell hubby that he could sleep in it just to test out his handywork;)

3:56 am

Haz1558

You've seen the size of him?

3:56 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody! about 20 in of snow since yesterday and it's beautiful!

3:56 am

Atalante

Mr Haz, she is not a sheep. She can't survive winter nights on windswept fells!

3:56 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

3:56 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby. 20 inches of snow is a lot!

3:56 am

FMitch

Talking of which - did you see that news item about the people that got snowed in on the Yorshire moors in a pub for 3 days?

3:57 am

FMitch

Ah good point Haz.

Morning ruby

3:57 am

Haz1558

At least they made it to a pub.

3:57 am

FMitch

They were there celebrating New Years Eve

3:57 am

Atalante

it's a hard life

3:58 am

lynxxx

You could think of worse places to be snowed in

3:58 am

rubyfoo

did I hear in a pub for 3 days? Heaven!

3:58 am

Atalante

2 people and a dog got rescued from dover cliffs yesterday, all 3 with frostbite / hypothermia

3:58 am

Haz1558

There could be worse places to find shelter. I wonder if they imposed the smoking ban? Health and Safety will probably carry out tests to make sure.

3:58 am

FMitch

They had 8 foot snow drifts .

Heavens Ata!

3:59 am

FMitch

The Landlord was not there so a regular took over the bar and everyone pitched in with cooking etc etc.

3:59 am

Haz1558

I hope they did the washing up.

4:00 am

FMitch

Trust Haz!

4:00 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm so predictable.

4:00 am

Atalante

wonder how much booze they drank

4:01 am

Haz1558

Health and Safety will probably want to know as well so that they can lecture them on their allowed units.

4:01 am

Atalante

absolutely

4:02 am

FMitch

Everything was paid for aparently and the Landlord "only" charged them Â£10 a night to stay there. The pub is up for sale btw.

4:03 am

Atalante

wow!

4:03 am

Haz1558

Did they all have beds to sleep in?

4:04 am

Atalante

as long as it had heating

4:04 am

FMitch

I doubt it, there were 30 people I think and it didn't look that big a building.

4:05 am

FMitch

back in 5 mins.

4:05 am

Haz1558

I don't think I'd have charged if they weren't all sleeping in beds.

4:05 am

lynxxx

Probably the best NYE party they will ever have

4:06 am

Haz1558

The only problem is that they won't be able to remember it!

4:06 am

rubyfoo

with that many people in a small building, it probably wouldn't need heating!

4:06 am

Atalante

ok, I'm going to head into Canterbury. I wish to go to the sales, much to husband's disgust

4:07 am

Haz1558

Hopefully, they put all the snorers together in the outbuildings.

4:07 am

Haz1558

I thought he would approve of bargains?

4:07 am

lynxxx

Bye Ata, have fun but only get what you really really need

4:08 am

Atalante

I need to buy some winter shoes. Apparently I don't, apparently my summer snadals should be able to get me through the winter, according to him

4:08 am

Haz1558

Yes, the golden rule, would you have picked this item if it wasn't reduced in price?

4:09 am

Haz1558

Your poor cold feet. Of course you need winter shoes!

4:09 am

Atalante

my mother nearly had a fit when she saw me wearing them the other day, so she informed me I *would* be going to buy some new shoes!

4:09 am

Atalante

I'd obey my mother over husband any day :)

4:10 am

Haz1558

You are wise and your feet will thank you.

4:10 am

lynxxx

Good shoes/boots and wellies!

4:10 am

Atalante

they will! so that is the plan :) I shall return with bags of stuff! :)

4:10 am

Atalante

*poofs snowily*

4:11 am

Haz1558

Happy hunting!

4:11 am

FMitch

ByeAta!!!!!

4:11 am

lynxxx

and I must go and get some dinner. BBL

4:11 am

Haz1558

See you, lynxxx.

4:12 am

Haz1558

If we had a u or an extra o we could have an igloo/iglu.

4:12 am

FMitch

Is that our cue to also get on with the day Haz? What are your plans?

4:13 am

Haz1558

I'm about to head off as well, yes. A spot of ironing, a walk with Spangle, a few bits and pieces of internet business.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Nothing too earth-shattering, but it's nice not to have to go too far.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

we're invited to lunch, not far, but straight up and the snow will be really tough for me. Husband will have to push from behind!

4:14 am

FMitch

and I am desperately trying to get back into a work routine but failing badly So I will wish you a happy day and perhaps see you later.

Bye lynxxx too

4:15 am

FMitch

LOL ruby bon apetit!

4:15 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, FM.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

bye fmtch

4:15 am

rubyfoo

bye haz

4:15 am

Haz1558

Hope the push isn't too taxing for your husband - that lunch had better be worth it! Bye for now, ruby. I'll be back later.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

actually, he's not speaking to me, so he may try to drown me in a drift lol - ruefully

4:17 am

Haz1558

Surely not! Be safe, ruby.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

thank you

4:18 am

Eva

just up for a little while before hopefully going back to sleep. Is this as nasty a grid as it looks or am I just still sleep befuddled?

4:36 am

Flask1

Good morning all......any chance of a clue for gi7 and gi8 please??

4:37 am

Brookie

good morning, flask! just started the puzzle

4:38 am

Flask1

ok Brookie

4:39 am

Eva

sorry-don't have it yet

4:39 am

bojazz

god morning babblers - puzzle looks meaner than the weather

4:39 am

Eva

it is indeed and that's saying a lot

4:39 am

bojazz

"good"

4:39 am

Norma

It is bojazz lol

4:40 am

Brookie

Hi bojazz... and i agree

4:44 am

Eva

this grid keeps making me think of Maurice Chevalier

4:46 am

Brookie

Maybe if I just keep making up words, some of them will stick

4:46 am

Eva

you go Brookie!

4:47 am

Brookie

OK, Eva, and forgive my ignorance, but who is Maurice Chevalier? It sounds like you made a witty comment that went completely over my head.

4:48 am

Eva

Maurice Chevalier was before your time Brookie, but you can look him up. He starred in a movie called Gigi

4:48 am

Brookie

Will google once I stop feeling lazy :-)

4:50 am

Eva

too bad sodding isn't here. Aas in "this sodding grid!

4:50 am

berri

evening everyone

4:51 am

Eva

morning berri

4:51 am

berri

i love the movie gigi, it was one of my favourites as a girl

4:51 am

Eva

ah-just found the so7/8 combo. Actually normal words

4:52 am

Eva

Thanks heavens....for little girls

4:52 am

berri

that movie really seems very wrong in a lot of ways now that i've grown up a bit

4:53 am

Eva

Maurice Chevalier was so much an emblem of the times. I don't think he was all that talented. Couldn't really sing, or act all that well...but he was soooo French and soooo charming.

4:53 am

Eva

I don't remember the plot. Was he a dirty old man in it?

4:54 am

Eva

well, ginglish - the language one might speak when inebriated didn't work

4:54 am

berri

cant remember it too clearly, but I believe there is an underlying story of gigi falling in love with him

4:55 am

Flask1

Evan any chance of a clue for the so7/8 combo please?

4:55 am

berri

it's all very innocent, but i think we could read more into it if we wanted to

4:55 am

Flask1

Eva...sorry!...that was a typo!

4:55 am

Eva

people who serve in the armed forces-and then make a noun out of the activity

4:56 am

Eva

using the sometimes vowel

4:57 am

berri

thanks eva

4:57 am

Flask1

thanx Eva.....

4:57 am

Eva

gildo ( a precious metal sex toy) doesn't work either. I'm getting desperate. Time to try to go back to sleep for a while.

4:59 am

berri

i found if amusing that the first word i found was sexual

4:59 am

Eva

mine too

5:00 am

bojazz

Eva - wrong consonant for the toy

5:00 am

berri

nice to be in good company

5:00 am

bojazz

berri - me too!

5:01 am

Sheimi492

Real words? What do you mean by that, Brookie?

5:12 am

Brookie

I was just joking... it just seems like there are too many obscure words in the grid today

5:13 am

6:06 am

dalmatian5

does anyone have a clue for the gi 7/44 and gi8/60?

6:08 am

Dippnall

sounds like the combination of 2 spices - start of one end of 'tother - both fiery

6:08 am

oodleberry

I AM kidding... I usually have hot cocoa and hazelnut flavoured coffee

6:09 am

oodleberry

but it is instant

6:10 am

Anniebrook

as you long as you are enjoying the cocoa and instant coffee, that's fine

6:10 am

Anniebrook

hello dipp...the first part of the gi clue is easy..but the end....hmmmm

6:10 am

oodleberry

6:11 am

Anniebrook

hello again, back for a short time

6:16 am

mom2han8

just not getting it...

6:16 am

Anniebrook

hi again, lynxxxie

6:16 am

Anniebrook

hard to clue

6:16 am

mom2han8

looked up sesame oil and got a word that ends in the sometime vowel, anyway... doesn't fit.

6:17 am

mom2han8

I will figure it out.

6:17 am

Anniebrook

as dippnall said, start of one spice usually in chinese foods (at least in the US) and the other one is ch***( hot spice)

6:18 am

Anniebrook

new way to clue this monster ****er and ch***( 2 spices)

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Hello all! Another frigid morning here---18 F.

6:18 am

mom2han8

got it...

6:18 am

lynxxx

hi Scrabs

6:19 am

mom2han8

the funny thing is that I am making chicken ch*** for dinner tonight, LOL.

6:19 am

mom2han8

Hi Scrabs... did you snowshoe it yesterday, LOL?

6:19 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Your clues went right over me--I am not a spice girl, haha

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Yesterday was a work + relax day, Mom2, after snowshoeing for 3 days in a row

6:20 am

Anniebrook

another way---****er Rogers and ch*** con carne

6:20 am

mom2han8

I was just kidding... I just recall people asking you if you were going to snowshoe to work.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I got it! What the heck is that word?

6:21 am

mom2han8

sesame oil Scrabbs

6:21 am

mom2han8

What? You don't have it in your cabinet???

6:21 am

Scrabbler

It's 8 miles to main office, 24 to the Indian Reservation Clinic

6:22 am

mom2han8

You would have to leave at midnight if you were planning on going the snowshoe route, LOL.

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I am such a simple, basic cook. It's a big deal for me to even use salt +/or pepper.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

A friend recently gave me a container of curried pumpkin soup and she said, "It's not too hot" after I inquired. So when I tried it later at home---I almost had to call the Fire Dept to squelch the inferno in my mouth, esophagus + stomach!

6:26 am

oodleberry

omg scrab... like the time I was invited to these indians for dinner... I said it was a 'bit' hot... (my mouth was burning!!!) and they told me it wasn't hot enough for them.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

My phantom = indigo

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Hi Oodle. Isn't it funny how people have different preferences and tolerances for taste + spice + hotness?

6:27 am

good morning eveyone

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy!

6:28 am

Anniebrook

Hi crossy

6:28 am

oodleberry

it is all a matter of getting used to it... my mother started using cayene on her food instead of salt and it was very hot to begin with... you could see it on her face but now she can stand very hot... hotter than I can

6:29 am

oodleberry

hi cross

6:29 am

lynxxx

hi Cross

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I don't like it when a spice overwhelms the other flavors.

6:29 am

crosshair

i find that too intense of a spice just mask the flavour of the food you are trying to taste'

6:30 am

crosshair

snap

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Hi Lynxxx

6:30 am

oodleberry

but if it is too hot for me to enjoy my food I don,t like it

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I am going to the kitchen to refill my coffee mug. Anybody want some coffee?

6:31 am

oodleberry

put some cocoa in it and you got your self a deal scrab... of course and mile

6:31 am

mom2han8

OMG... Kids and husbands... Happy Tuesday, LOL!

6:32 am

oodleberry

I make my cocoa with coffee everymorning with all milk... like my grandpa used to do with his coffee but he used no sugar

6:32 am

oodleberry

I think no sugar going to have to ask my mother

I always put a spoonful of sugar substitute + chocolate soy milk in my coffee--my cafe mocha

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Do you have adolescents, Mom? Their life = series of crises + emotional drama

6:34 am

mom2han8

Really. Too funny. Like it is the end of the world... I will just call today and obtain another form. End of crisis, LOL.

6:34 am

mom2han8

I love chocolate soy milk Scrabbs

6:34 am

mom2han8

Yes Scrabbs... two of them... one is actually 13, the other is actually 48, but maybe 15 emotionally... LOL.

6:35 am

oodleberry

sounds wonderful scrab... some for me please :D

6:35 am

oodleberry

I think I will get that chocolate silk and heat that up with my hazelnut coffee

6:35 am

oodleberry

yum

6:36 am

oodleberry

*goes into a trance just thinking about it*

6:36 am

mom2han8

Two months ago I obtained this paperwork, clinic is at the end of January, gave husband paperwork, reminded him 2 weeks ago to write check and send paperwork to register her for the field hockey clinic... turns out he can't find it... so, instead of telling me then... his failure to plan becomes my emergency and my kid is freaking out... like I said, easily fixable, but we have to get all excited about it this morning.... ugh!

6:37 am

Scrabbler

So, mom2, you are the voice of reason, the calm in the storm! Mothers/wives to the rescue!

6:38 am

mom2han8

And my mother is coming for a 3 day visit today... which is actually a good thing in many ways. She and I commiserate.

6:38 am

mom2han8

Yes, Scrabbs. I tell them that there are websites, telephones, email, etc. here in the 21st century... it's not like I live on the prairie and have to get to Mankato by train to register Mary for Blind School, LOL!

6:39 am

EspritdJean

hey scrabs, half of mittleshmertz in the grid

6:39 am

mom2han8

I have that Esprit!

6:39 am

Scrabbler

OK, I am a moron. I forgot how to add songs to my iPod. I imported new CDs to my iTunes library, now how do I get them on my iPod? I haven't done this in months!

6:39 am

EspritdJean

sorry :-( ;-p

6:40 am

mom2han8

Actually it has served me rather well over the years. I don't really get the pain associated with it that many women experience.

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Hahah, Mom2! Teach them to be respectful, responsible, resilient, resourceful, realistic.....words in my future parenting book

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jean---TY for reminding me about the days of Mittleschmerz

6:41 am

EspritdJean

I luv that word

6:41 am

EspritdJean

how long to get to work yesterday scrabs?

6:41 am

mom2han8

You have to hook up your iPod, then click on the icon for YOUR iPod, open up Library, then just drag what you want over to YOUR iPod icon.

6:42 am

oodleberry

scrab dear you are NOT a moron

6:42 am

dalmatian5

India is such a poor country and does not have good refrigeration for the poor and they used the hot spices to mask the flavor of the meat that was spoiled.

6:42 am

Scrabbler

45 minutes--not snowing and roads were in decent shape--I even saw pavement a few times.

6:42 am

mom2han8

Scrabbs... when you write your book you may contact me for some salient quotes, LOL! The 5 R's of Parenting...

6:42 am

mom2han8

Good to know dalmation... now I will know what not to eat in India, LOL.

6:43 am

oodleberry

you saw pavement??? IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

6:43 am

crosshair

our pavement is long buried;(

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Mom2, I do not see an icon for my iPod....grrrr

6:43 am

Scrabbler

hi dalmatian--makes sense

6:43 am

mom2han8

The adolescent years present a challenge on all of those fronts, don't they, Scrabbs??? But I would toss out the first 4 for a little of the last... LOL!

6:44 am

crosshair

we have what is known as a hardpack

6:44 am

mom2han8

It should be over to the left under Devices (I think???) ... there should be a little arrow in a circle next to it.

6:45 am

crosshair

i-pods and other devices often show up as an external hard drive under start/computer

6:45 am

oodleberry

i do see pavement but it is because of the salt they put on the roads... if it weren't for the plows and the salt QuÃ©bec would shut down and/or there would be one accident right after the other

6:45 am

mom2han8

"Library" is up above it at the very top of the left hand side, your iPod should be underneath it in what almost looks like a new heading.

6:45 am

mom2han8

Crossy... she is in iTunes.

6:45 am

mom2han8

You are in iTunes, correct, Scrabbs?

6:46 am

Scrabbler

I am trying to sync them now

6:46 am

crosshair

crossy stands back...

6:46 am

oodleberry

however QuÃ©beckers know how to drive in the snow and they don,t even have chains or studded tires

6:46 am

Scrabbler

I think something is happening now

6:46 am

crosshair

chains and studs are illegal in ontarion

6:47 am

mom2han8

Oh, I never do that... I just add manually... but that is because we have 4 iPods on our computer and I don't want my kids music... since you probably only have one you can probably do it that way.

6:47 am

mom2han8

If your iPod is plugged in and recognized then the syncing should work.

6:47 am

oodleberry

how about if it is a car from the US?

6:47 am

crosshair

same rules apply

6:47 am

oodleberry

they can't very well change their studded tires

6:47 am

Scrabbler

I imported 8 new CDs--I used my $100 gift card on CDs instead of books

6:48 am

mom2han8

Good for you.... get what you want Scrabbs.

6:49 am

Scrabbler

I am so far behind on my reading that it makes no sense to buy more books.

6:49 am

mom2han8

I just got a new iPod for Christmas... Love it... has a radio and everything... I am giving my old one to my father, so I just did all the adding to it, which is how I remembered what to do, LOL.

6:49 am

Scrabbler

Miss Bea Bunny just came tearing in here and hopped in her litter box--such a smart rabbit!

6:49 am

mom2han8

OMG... I have a pile of books beside the bed. Really, just have no time

6:50 am

mom2han8

I am reading the new John Irving, which I am liking... it is just that I read a few pages and fall asleep.

6:50 am

Scrabbler

And I want to learn Italian and do Bible study and exercise and Babble and ...... I need more time!

6:51 am

mom2han8

Wouldn't it be great if you could attach headphones with language tapes and learn while you slept???

6:51 am

mom2han8

The exercising might be problematic in this fashion, LOL.

6:51 am

Scrabbler

I am a visual learner--listening doesn't work for my brain. I wish that would work for me

6:52 am

gramma

Good Morning, fellow Babbleonians. Let's start this morning with a cheer. Give me an I! (please)

6:52 am

mom2han8

6:53 am

mom2han8

I never subscribed to that babies listening to Mozart thing in utero... but I know that some people say it works.

6:53 am

gramma

Any ole I would do, since I don't have one.

6:53 am

mom2han8

I am a combination of visual and auditory and for some things I need to engage the tactile as well.

7:57 am

oodleberry

it's just that when you put something down be conscious of putting it down

10:12 am

10:12 am

joshuavorbis

10:12 am

Haz1558

That reminds me of a lovely story about the Irish labourer. He was asked if he knew the difference between a joist and a girder 'That's easy, he says. Joyce wrote Ulysses and Goethe wrote Faust.'

4:06 pm

FMitch

lol good move python!

4:06 pm

FMitch

must tell my Mom about that as she is plagued with squirrels.

4:07 pm

pythonx

i like the squirrels but they make pests of themselves, they empty the feeder in an hour

4:07 pm

FMitch

exactly - they are driving her crazy!

4:08 pm

herinfernallady

Hello. and FM I can guess how you feel. I lived in a shabby apartment (this was my place) http://tinyurl.com/yahvo6y ) It is such freedom to have a house

4:08 pm

Dorens

hi all... i have a feeder that is calibrated to shut down when anything as heavy as a squirrel perces on it. pretty good at keeping them away

4:08 pm

FMitch

herin!!! Happy New Year!

4:09 pm

FMitch

and Hi Dorens!!!

4:09 pm

lynxxx

hi Infernal & Dorens

4:09 pm

dorens, that is what i plan to buy the next time i got feeder shopping when my current one needs replacing

4:09 pm

bojazz

squirrels have been known to do seroius damage to homes, as well as being pests - they gnaw on wood and vinyl substrates

4:10 pm

pythonx

i had friends who had squirrels get into their attic and make a huge mess

4:10 pm

FMitch

Mom had sqirrels in the attic

4:11 pm

Dorens

and they're not easy to get rid of once they decide they belong in your attic

4:11 pm

pythonx

did she have bats in the belfry, too?

4:11 pm

torgone

Figuratively or literally?

4:11 pm

hego

It's weird how words in other languages pop up when it's convenient to the grid.

4:11 pm

FMitch

I can feel a joke coming on - something along the line of Mom still has bats in the befry

4:12 pm

hego

LOL

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

FMitch

Hi torg :)

4:12 pm

herinfernallady

Hello back. FM i have a chair on my porch now so I can sit and read. My b.f thought it was tacky then he sat in the chair

4:13 pm

herinfernallady

Lynxx I think so. I had a pair fighting out the front at 2am today. Bleeding loud things

4:13 pm

FMitch

oh that sounds good herin - can't wait to put a table anc chairs in the garden and just sit.

4:13 pm

pythonx

possums are bigger, and uglier!

4:13 pm

bojazz

4:15 pm

lynxxx

I think our possums are diff to your pussums (opossums?), ours are very cute

4:15 pm

pythonx

ours look like huge rats

4:15 pm

herinfernallady

It was found on the roadside during hard rubbish. It is solid steel frame and hard plastic slats. Damn comfy. Squirrels freak me out. FM is that the cute good squirrels or the feral foreign varitey?

4:16 pm

FMitch

umm it's the grey squirrell, don't get the red ones round here any more apart from in Scotland and the Isle of Wight I think.

4:17 pm

herinfernallady

I did read that the grey squirrel are a pest and best eaten

4:17 pm

FMitch

lol

4:18 pm

FMitch

4:18 pm

pythonx

4:18 pm

herinfernallady

O and having a chair on the porch means I can sit and have the kitty on the harness

4:19 pm

herinfernallady

4:19 pm

herinfernallady

Python why would someone eat squirrel?

4:19 pm

pythonx

he eats lots of things I can't explain

4:20 pm

herinfernallady

Fair enough. Why let things go to waste

4:21 pm

pythonx

snapping turtles, sparrows, snake

4:21 pm

herinfernallady

Snake I can understand but the rest yech

4:25 pm

rbud

some older folks really like the odd meats, my Hubby used to cook weird stuff for the family reunions, and the old babes would flock around it. Squirrel, rabbit, deer, turtle - they couldn't wait to see what he'd bring the next year. (I don't eat any of those!) :P

4:26 pm

pythonx

deer would be the only thing i'd eat

4:26 pm

herinfernallady

Rabbit and Deer and very yum.

Is it pretty at all Jac. We have a romantic view of snow. I however, do not miss driving about in it.

6:16 pm

jacq

it is beautiful to look at when it's all white and covered in kids footprints but after a couple of days you get tired of it, and here the roads haven't been cleared and they are like glass

6:16 pm

jacq

i'll post some pics tomorrow on my profile let you see it

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

nice, I think looking is better than being in it.

6:17 pm

jacq

i love being in it making snowmen etc but we donlt usually get it this early or for this length of time and they are saying snow the rest of the week

6:20 pm

rbud

I end up shovelling far too often to suit me. Hubs can't manage it, and our son's far too busy with teenage drama to do it for us. Then I get to shovel at work, too.

9:35 pm

VanTheMan

I met him a few years ago now when he did a performance and a signing in a Borders book shop. He waited until he had met every sdingle person and was happy to sign things and pose for pictures, even though he was very jetlagged and he had just been dumped by his girlfriend, Tristan Prettyman

9:36 pm

dcseain

9:36 pm

Trifioso

she probably dumped him because she is emotionally unstable because her parents named her a BOYS NAME -- sorry, one of my biggest pet peeves

9:36 pm

VanTheMan

but he's much more famous in America so it might he harder to actually meet him, but I'm sure he's be lovely to your daughter and she wouldn't be disappointed

9:37 pm
