12:40 am

westford

ooh pav how do I get an invitation?

12:40 am

westford

sounds like the perfect dessert

12:41 am

PAV3

baking is a hobby, since I couldnt actually make a profit when it was a side business...I like giving product away I guess...it used to be relaxation, but then when stuff didn't turn out as I wanted and people got too picky I stopped...

12:42 am

westford

imagine!

12:43 am

westford

picky people

12:43 am

joey

12:45 am

gremlinn

I got stuck for the longest time because I didn't notice there was a second U!

12:45 am

PAV3

I decided long ago my daily life goal was to bring a smile to someone's face - anyone - anyhow...cheesecakes were an outlet for that goal and yes some took advantage of my goodwill...but at the time, I let them...now , not so much...

12:45 am

jillibus

PAV3

so my extended gift to my bestest friends is teaching their 15 yr old son how to cook and bake...for Christmas it was his favorite trifle and a pot roast...in two weeks it'll be an angel food cake and green chili cheese enchiladas

12:56 am

westford

so nice of you pav everything sounds so good

12:56 am

jillibus

where do you live, pav? I'm moving to your neighbourhood pronto!

12:56 am

lynxxx

nice gift Pav, does he want a career in food?

12:58 am

PAV3

I know he likes to eat!! and he's not astute when it comes to numbers, so this will help...a career, perhaps, we'll see...but it also unburdens mom and dad from all the food chores...and they live 35 miles away from me...I'm in sunny (!!) Phoenix and they're in the burbs...

12:59 am

PAV3

she cuts my hair for free, and he used to do my taxes...

1:00 am

westford

what method do you use for the pot roast..oven, stove top or crock pot?

1:00 am

lynxxx

nice to share your talent

1:02 am

PAV3

my first was in the oven and now I use a crock pot...sharing when there's nothing else to give is an option most people don't do...it used to be bartering

1:02 am

westford

you know I think that will be coming back it's a good idea

1:03 am

PAV3

for my pot roast a use a chuck roast, potatoes, carrots, celery and Lipton Onion soup mix...a just a bit of water...

1:03 am

westford

sounds delicious

1:04 am

westford

I have 2 I make occasionally..sauerbraten and yankee potroast with cranberries

1:04 am

PAV3

I was teaching my nieces and nephews how to cook but I've run out of them (that still care to learn)...the eldest niece used her baking skills to earn money for her high school trips across the country and to Bermuda/Barbados

1:04 am

flosey

oh west, I haven't made sauerbraten in so many years, my kids loved it

1:04 am

westford

and it's a talent she'll have for the rest of her life

1:05 am

PAV3

just need the upper centre N for NBT...

1:05 am

westford

it's work but so worth it flosey

1:05 am

jillibus

I love all that stuff but making them for one doesn't quite work

1:05 am

flosey

but jilli, you can freeze portions for later

1:05 am

flosey

1:05 am

westford

you could freeze portions jilli or come to my house next time I make it

1:06 am

PAV3

I try to make a large dish and freeze for the rainy days...or for lunches.dins through the week...

1:06 am

flosey

flosey

1:10 am

westford

it's a compound word pav

1:11 am

jilli, it isn't a bed of roses when they kick you out to cope with a babe who can't/won't feed properly, to home with 2 other kids already in residence

1:54 am

jillibus

things were changing then but my obstetrician was old-fashioned.

1:54 am

flosey

1:54 am

jillibus

1:55 am

3:41 am

Haz1558

Will I, as a computer illiterate, try to explain what I do and see if that helps? Give me five minutes to write down the step by step process. The rest of you adopt the lotus position and say OMMMMM to aid the thinking process.

3:41 am

ardilla

tyvm FM *hugs

3:45 am

FMitch

It is the most frendly chat room I have found on the net ruby. HAve been here for about 4 years (I think) and have made some very good friends as a result of babble.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

when I workd, I went to Japan a couple of times for biz and it was wonderful! The best food in the world!!!!

3:46 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree fm... great support and love here, both for the game and real life

3:46 am

ardilla

i hit 4 years of babbling on the 26th :)

3:46 am

Atalante

I think this OMM thing is getting a bit overemotional

3:46 am

rubyfoo

3 wks here for me and I love it. I've been playing scrabble, mostly blitz and have made some friends there, but there are a few very competitive creeps who spoil it

3:47 am

rubyfoo

and the chat in blitz is very short

3:47 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately, I am very poor at this compared to scrab

3:48 am

VolleymomDee

it takes time to improve ruby, and some grids will be easier than others for you

3:48 am

Alex7777

i love fa7/40

3:48 am

FMitch

Babble has it's own learning curve ruby.

3:48 am

FMitch

I've given up on rankings and have fallen off the whos hot list.

3:49 am

ardilla

sorry, i meant to say i forgot HOW to check my ranking

3:50 am

ardilla

just got the un8 clue thx

3:50 am

rubyfoo

lol fm, I'm still too competitive, holdover from blitz

3:51 am

Atalante

I couldn't give a stuff about my ranking. It comes of being brilliant

3:51 am

rubyfoo

i found an ni7/28, not 32

3:51 am

ardilla

yeah, the first word i found on my own was a 6

3:52 am

FMitch

Ata of couse - being the grandaugther of such a renowned person :)

3:52 am

VolleymomDee

ni 7/32 think bowling... compound word ... letter + what you hit with the ball

3:52 am

VolleymomDee

3:52 am

FMitch

3:53 am

VolleymomDee

duh fish slap got it!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

3:53 am

3:53 am

VolleymomDee

3:53 am

Alex7777

3:53 am

Alex7777

ate*

3:53 am

FMitch

I feell a moment of smugness coming on from the Kent area!

3:54 am

Haz1558

Ruby, here's my attempt to explain the step by step process to change your icon. You might want to make sure that you have the picture chosen. Also, write this down, so that you have the steps before you redirect yourself away from chat. Step 1 is to press the button labelled 'My Account. That brings up the Babble Player Profile, go to the left side, labelled Profile info. Under the little square for the icon, press 'Edit. This will bring up another screen, which gives you two options. Choose option 2 and press browse. This brings up a smaller screen ' Choose file to upload' At the bit that says 'look in' Find the file where your photo is stored (perhaps under My pictures). When you see the photo you want, click on it. This should bring a blue square around it and will place the file name in the file name box. Then press Open. The next step is to press Upload. This will bring up a red banner saying 'Buddy icon successfully uploaded. Now press refresh. This should return you to babble chat, hopefully with icon intact.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Some of you stopped Omming!

3:54 am

ardilla

ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

3:54 am

VolleymomDee

Haz1558

Now, can we all ommmmmm together or hold hands or something while ruby tries one more time?

3:55 am

VolleymomDee

3:55 am

VolleymomDee

3:56 am

FMitch

3:56 am

Alex7777

3:57 am

rubyfoo

3:57 am

rubyfoo

3:58 am

Atalante

DrG will sort it out for you

3:58 am

Haz1558

Oh dear.

3:58 am

VolleymomDee

you might want to close everything, re-open and try one last time... no idea why, but sometimes that does work

3:59 am

FMitch

you did well Haz 10 out of 10 for trying.

3:59 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that fm

3:59 am

Haz1558

Thank you, and everybody's omming was very good.

3:59 am

VolleymomDee

we tried diligently to do our part

4:00 am

Haz1558

Let's blame ruby's computer. Is it French, ruby?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

maybe the photo is too big

4:00 am

FMitch

can we stop omming now please, I am getting a dry throat.

4:00 am

Karys

Do you think I wasn't ommming hard enough ?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

I'll try shutting down, see you later. fm, have a hot toddy, I will with lunch

4:01 am

Haz1558

Yes, stand down from the omming, and anybody who adopted the lotus position can now unwind.

4:01 am

VolleymomDee

it might be; I know jili says that can be too big; she has a web address to shrink photos that might work

4:01 am

Karys

I'l try again if it wil help

4:01 am

Haz1558

Karys! How nice to see you!

4:01 am

FMitch

Ah yes we can blame Karys!

4:01 am

Atalante

4:03 am

Haz1558

What have you been up to?

4:03 am

Brookie

hi everyone

4:03 am

Haz1558

Hello, Brookie.

4:03 am

Karys

Excuse me FM, I really can't take on your mantle of blame.

4:03 am

Brookie

hi haz

4:03 am

Atalante

aha I see we 'ave ze frrrench bunny in ze grid

4:03 am

FMitch

Hi Brookie

4:04 am

FMitch

Darn, well it was worth a try Karys

4:04 am

Karys

Just the usual thing Haz, nothing spectacular here

4:04 am

Haz1558

We're skilled at knowing what people are saying, Karys, it comes of long years interpreting FM's contributions.

4:04 am

Brookie

hi fm

4:04 am

Atalante

yes, stop trying to shift blame, FM!

4:04 am

FMitch

oh great - it has started snowing again.

4:04 am

Karys

This is true of course

4:05 am

Karys

We have glorious sunshine at the moment, stil lying snow though.

4:06 am

Atalante

snowing here too

4:06 am

PinnyPoppins

fmitch - where are you?

4:06 am

FMitch

I hope you all appreciate that I bear the burdens of all babblers and carry the blame for everything *grin*

4:06 am

Haz1558

Husband had to get winter tyres fitted yesterday, first time ever.

4:07 am

FMitch

West Sussex Pinny - just moved here a month ago and it has been most interesting to say the least!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

ok, just shut down, made sure the photo was small, sent it to ata and now we'll see

4:07 am

PinnyPoppins

west sussex... is that past brighton (forgive my ignorance)?

4:07 am

Karys

I have been wondering how you are al
l getting on in this weather

4:07 am

Haz1558

Oh, Ata's the granddaughter of a genius, so she'll work it out, ruby.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

our snow tires sit in the garage, husband refuses to have them put on, he says there only for driving in the mountains!

4:08 am

Haz1558

We don't have the depth of snow that you've had in England, Karys, but it's proving difficult to negotiate country roads etc. I don't remember such a sustained icy spell.

4:08 am

FMitch

uumm Brighton is sw of me

4:09 am

Atalante

france is past brighton :P

4:09 am

Haz1558

ruby, husband is a country vet, so he has to do a lot of driving on untreated country roads and laneways. He got tired of having to either abandon the car and walk to the farms or having to be towed out.

4:09 am

FMitch

or is that s.e of me, yes it is.

4:09 am

Karys

We have got to that point now Haz, main roads arn't too bad but side roads and lanes are dreadful

4:09 am

Haz1558

Apparently, the tyres do make a difference.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

a little bit past lol

4:10 am

FMitch

lol I am now arguing with myself in a chat room

4:10 am

rubyfoo

big animal vet, haz? our vet comes to the house because one of the chows is autistic and he can't go off the property

4:10 am

Atalante

true sign of madness

4:10 am

PinnyPoppins

sorry - my fault - this is what happens when i think 'i'll just have a quick look at babble before i get up'

4:10 am

Haz1558

That's what happens when you get snowed in, FM! You pick fights with yourself.

4:11 am

Atalante

an autistic chow. goodness me!

4:11 am

FMitch

LOL!!!

4:11 am

Karys

What caused the move FM or is that not good to ask here ?

4:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, ruby, he specialises in large animal, especially dairy cattle, but works in a mixed general practice so occasionally does some evening small animal surgeries.

4:12 am

Atalante

do meat cattle get different vets?

4:12 am

FMitch

Death of partner and financial requirements Karys. But it was the best thing I hadve ever done, am now mortgage and debt free and happy.

4:12 am

Haz1558

Witness protection programme, Karys. Poor FM, she's had to up sticks. It's a wonder she's still able to use her babble name here. But tell no-one.

4:13 am

FMitch

LOL nice try HAz :)

4:13 am

rubyfoo

I give him prozac (learned from Temple Grandin book on autism) and it helps him a lot. He was totally weird and shy before, couldn't make eye contact, but now acts almost normal except afraid of his food bowl

4:13 am

Haz1558

No, meat cattle get the same vets.

4:13 am

Haz1558

We could make up all sorts of reasons for FM's move, couldn't we?

4:14 am

Karys

Good Heavens FM, I am sorry to hear about your loss, but I am a great believer in good coming from disaster.

4:14 am

Atalante

oh yes :D

4:14 am

FMitch

Haz and Ata you will still make up lots of lovely stories

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I hope you get the photo, ata

4:15 am

Haz1558

Us? Make up things? When have you ever known us to do that?

4:16 am

Atalante

should do! my email is soooo slow at the moment

4:16 am

FMitch

and if we are lucky enough Haz and Ata and I will be meeting up soon. I have met Ata many times now and Haz once so we are looking forward to the 3 of us getting together.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

3 babblers walked into a bar.....

4:17 am

Karys

That sounds like a recipe for.................. ermm, words fail me just now !

4:17 am

Haz1558

Will we need to wear pink carnations?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

and I sent it via my french server, not yahoo, which makes matters worse

4:17 am

kje

no panini?

4:17 am

Haz1558

Lots of intellectual conversation, isn't that what you were trying to say, Karys?

4:17 am

Atalante

4:19 am

Haz1558

4:19 am

Atalante

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Atalante

Haz1558

Excellent!

4:20 am

ardilla

no, but i hear that they are delicious

4:20 am

kje

VolleymomDee

4:23 am

Atalante

4:24 am

Haz1558

It might get tiresome moving the little sticker all the time, that's the only thing.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I tried via google, that is cute, ata

4:24 am

Haz1558

You're very good, Ata, major brownie points for that.

4:24 am

Atalante

4:25 am

rubyfoo

Haz1558

The technique of finding word squares is pretty useless today.

4:34 am

Haz1558

Although underwear is always useful.

4:34 am

Atalante

apart from the flower - love god - owie one

4:40 am

Haz1558

4:40 am

Atalante

4:41 am

kje

phantom penis - very freudian of you ata

4:41 am

Atalante

and Purina. guess what dog food Hobbit gets!

4:41 am

Haz1558

Could it be Purina? I'm going out on a limb..

4:42 am

Atalante

gosh haz, you amaze me sometimes

4:43 am

Haz1558

I know. Some say I should make money out of my psychic abilities but I like to think of it as a gift to the world.

4:43 am

Atalante

actually, my first phantom of the morning was planarian. just to be a bit more scientific

4:43 am

lynxxx

phantom: putz

4:43 am

Atalante

you too could be on TV talking to michael jackson

4:46 am

Haz1558

LIke what's his name?

Atalante

derek

4:46 am

Atalante

I think it was derek acorah anyway

Not Nimmo, he's dead.

4:46 am

corn dog

john edward

4:47 am

Atalante

phantom: seniti

4:47 am

Haz1558

I think I'd rather talk to Derek NImmo than Michael Jackson.

4:48 am

Atalante

do you get the choice? don't spirits just come and talk to you? you might end up with michael winner (when he's dead anyway)

Haz1558

I don't know - Michael Winner was on Celebrity Mastermind, don't know if he won.

4:49 am

Atalante

ick I hope not

4:49 am

Haz1558

Did you see the Horizon programme on the bond between dogs and owners - on BBC2 on Wednesday?

4:50 am

Atalante

no, I meant to watch it but I was worried that the particular clever dog might upstage Hobbit

4:50 am

kje

LOL ata

4:51 am

Haz1558

That particularly clever dog was AMAZING. A border collie, and German to boot.

4:51 am

Atalante

I'll have to watch it on iplayer

4:51 am

Atalante

border collie, there you go. very clever creatures

4:51 am

Haz1558

You would enjoy it, lots of shots of dogs although very few spaniels, strangely enough.

4:51 am

Atalante

outrageous!

4:52 am

mom2han8

morning all

4:52 am

Atalante

perhaps they thought spaniels had had enough coverage with the police dogs programme

4:52 am

mom2han8

My sister had a border collie... very smart dogs.

4:52 am

Haz1558

It could fetch toys just by being given the name. Toy zebra, fish, etc. Over 350 names remembered. It could also fetch toys from another room based on a picture!

4:53 am

Haz1558

Or, if it was shown a small version of a ball, on command it could go to another room to bring back the large version.

4:53 am

mom2han8

She used to "herd" my daughter when she was a baby and a toddler... incredibly cute!

4:53 am

Atalante

best friend's 1/2 collie does that - not 350 of them though! He has rope toy and drill toy and vampire toy and bottle and and and

4:53 am

lynxxx

unbelievable

4:53 am

Haz1558

It did all this while riding a unicycle and spinning plates.

4:53 am

lynxxx

lol

4:53 am

Atalante

and reciting shakespeare?

4:54 am

mom2han8

LOL Haz... it's early yet and I almost believed you for a minute.

4:54 am

Haz1558

No, it was German, vast tracts of Goethe.

4:54 am

Atalante

goodness! even more impressive

4:54 am

mom2han8

There was a dog once that I saw on TV that could bark "To be or not to be"...

4:55 am

mom2han8

It was years ago, but I always remember it.

4:55 am

lynxxx

I love the dog on UTube that barks "I love you"

4:55 am

Haz1558

We had a dog on TV that could say 'Sausages' - less impressive than your one, mom2.

4:56 am

kje

but more valuable to the dog, i bet haz

4:56 am

Haz1558

I think so, kje.

4:56 am

mom2han8

Yes kje... far more valuable to the dog... that particular skill.

4:57 am

kje

down to 58 and hit a wall

4:57 am

mom2han8

My cat meows hello... swear to God.

4:57 am

Atalante

the sausages dog was soooo famous

4:57 am

Haz1558

I don't know why sausage advertisers didn't snap it up.

4:57 am

lynxxx

I believe you mom2

4:58 am

mom2han8

There is a brand of dog treat here called "Snausages"... surprised they never used that dog.

4:58 am

kje

my sisters cat likes to stare at the computer screen... doesn't like the screensaver though so has learned to touch the mousepad to bring the usual screen back... weird cat

4:58 am

mom2han8

Cats are all kinds of smart.

4:58 am

Atalante

Scooby Snacks are Hobbit's favourite treats :)

4:58 am

Haz1558

They're still not as smart as this border collie.

4:59 am

mom2han8

I am happy mine does not have an opposable thumb...he could get into all kinds of mischief.

4:59 am

mom2han8

Sometimes my cat just comes and sits in front of me and does this blinking thing... swear he is trying to communicate something.

4:59 am

mom2han8

Probably not Haz

4:59 am

kje

this is the same cat that will only sleep on his back with all 4 paws in the air... I'll stick to my weird assessment

5:00 am

mom2han8

My cat also fetches.

5:00 am

mom2han8

Funny kje.

5:00 am

Haz1558

He's probably thinking 'If only I had opposable thumbs, I could be so useful to you.'

5:00 am

mom2han8

LOL Haz... I would teach him to do laundry.

5:00 am

Haz1558

Being a male cat he probably doesn't want to learn to knit, but give him power tools.....

5:01 am

mom2han8

I have a few pictures that need hanging..

5:01 am

mom2han8

Perhaps a prosthetic thumb?

5:01 am

Haz1558

There you go. He's a cat, he'll be able to climb.

5:01 am

mom2han8

And he would probably follow directions better than the humans in my household.

5:02 am

mom2han8

The possibilities are endless... lightbulb changing springs to mind.

5:02 am

kje

scorched fur also comes to mind for that one

5:03 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, although knowing the correct wattage would be a requirement that might tax the cat a bit.

5:03 am

mom2han8

LOL...

5:03 am

mom2han8

Well, Haz, clearly he would have to be supervised.

5:04 am

Haz1558

See, any job that has to be supervised, I always end up thinking that I might as well do it myself. I'm a poor delegator.

5:04 am

mom2han8

Of course on another note he still thinks his reflection in the mirror is another cat... so, his brilliance has limitations.

5:04 am

Atalante

just thinking that

5:05 am

Atalante

i think I'll just let Sily stick to sitting around and looking pretty

5:05 am

mom2han8

The funniest thing is when I hear my husband trying to reason with him... it is hysterical.

5:05 am

kje

that's OK, scrab thought her reflection was another shopper... and she is still useful

5:06 am

mom2han8

funny.

5:06 am

Haz1558

I don't think the border collie would ever make that mirror mistake. He's used to the mirror for perfecting his tap-dancing technique.

5:06 am

Atalante

that was hilarious. poor scrabs!

5:06 am

mom2han8

Of course the poor man tries to reason with our teenager also... God Bless him.

5:06 am

mom2han8

I don't know this story about Scrabs.

5:06 am

Haz1558

When did Scrabbler not know herself?

5:07 am

kje

I know ata - another shopper that looked amazingly like her, isn't that what she said - LOL

5:07 am

kje

the brain is funny sometimes

5:07 am

mom2han8

That's funny...

5:08 am

mom2han8

And, of course, this lookalike also chose the same outfit to wear to the store that day??? LMAO.

5:08 am

Atalante

yes lol

5:08 am

kje

she was shopping, turned a corner where there was an unexpected mirror, and just for a sec was shocked to see someone who looked so much like herself

5:09 am

mom2han8

that's great.

5:09 am

mom2han8

I would probably have apologized to the reflection for running into her, LOL.

5:09 am

Haz1558

My shock with mirrors is when I'm trying things on and the shop insists on giving you a back view mirror. That should be banned as being cruel.

5:09 am

kje

so.... your cat is in good company on that one

5:10 am

mom2han8

Yes he is!

5:10 am

mom2han8

OMG Haz... I swear I never try anything on at the store... I bring it home and then return it if I don't like it.

5:11 am

Haz1558

It's so much better doing it that way, mom, I agree. At least at home you can fool yourself a bit better.

5:12 am

kje

going back to sleep - catch you all on another morning when I wake up too early

5:12 am

mom2han8

Actually, just the opposite, sometimes I feel like the stores have "trick" mirrors, or some kind of flattering lighting, LOL... at home what you see is what you get... better assessment, I think.

5:12 am

mom2han8

Bye kje.

5:12 am

Haz1558

Bye, kje, enjoy some more sleep.

5:12 am

lynxxx

bye kje

5:13 am

mom2han8

Of course this does not work with bathing suits, which you cannot return.... and they are the absolute worst thing in the world to shop for!

5:13 am

Haz1558

I must be shopping in the wrong places. There is one shop that is flattering in the changing room mirror department but you pay more for the clothes!

5:13 am

EspritdJean

you can return them as long as you don't remove the "sanitary strip" from the crotch

5:14 am

mom2han8

You are paying for their trick mirror technology, LOL.

5:14 am

Haz1558

Exactly!

5:15 am

mom2han8

I look at it like this... I would not want to buy a "used" bathing suit, so I do not return them.

5:15 am

Haz1558

Hello Esprit.

5:15 am

EspritdJean

hi there haz

5:15 am

mom2han8

time to wake the troops... be back in a bit.

5:16 am

Haz1558

See you later, mom.

5:18 am

Haz1558

OKay, time for me to be up and moving. Enjoy this rather odd grid, and I'll check in later. Bye for now!

5:19 am

Atalante

bye haz! bye mom!

5:19 am

Haz1558

Bye!

5:31 am

Scrabbler

Anybody home?

5:34 am

Scrabbler

So I am alone with the lurkers? *waving to lurkers*

5:35 am

MonkeyGames

Lurker waving back! I'm at the neurological institute and cannot chat in a steady and sociable fashion, as eyes and things keep being delivered, but I am periodically looking at Babble...

5:35 am

Scrabbler

Hi MG!!

5:35 am

MonkeyGames

Hello!

5:35 am

Scrabbler

How is little Walter progressing?

5:36 am

MonkeyGames

Great! He's been back at school this whole week, and is walking really well with or without the crutches. Usually no pain at bedtime these days too. And he's cheerful, if admittedly in a normal 5-year-old defiance phase.

5:37 am

MonkeyGames

Two more weeks until the next cast-free x-ray to see how the knitting's getting on and decide about a new cast.

5:37 am

mom2han8

Hi scrabbs

5:37 am

mom2han8

Sorry was just doing the morning 'wake up' routine.

5:37 am

Scrabbler

But it is also such a precious age! 3-6 yr olds are the best!!

5:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi mom2!

5:38 am

Scrabbler

Is it tough to get them conscious and out of bed, mom2?

5:38 am

mom2han8

Yes...

5:39 am

mom2han8

Though not too terrible... my 13 y ear old is better at it than my 49 year old, LOL.

5:39 am

MonkeyGames

I agree, although there is also a lot to be said for long scientific conversations with 7-year-olds. And anyway for Walter a defiant phase is about 2 episodes a day and not so bad by most kids' standards... Yes, I love this age.

5:39 am

Scrabbler

The middle-high school bus picks up kids here at 6:55.

5:39 am

kje

scrab, we discussed this morning how you and mom2's cat have something in common

5:39 am

mom2han8

that's early. how long is the ride to school.

5:40 am

mom2han8

There is something to be said for all ages/phases... both good and bad.

5:40 am

Scrabbler

Haha, mom2. I am so not a morning person and sometime shit the snooze button 3-4 times. Today I woke up at 6:03 and alrm was set for 6:30, so I have extra Babble time.

5:40 am

MonkeyGames

OK, must be very sporadic with chat now; the neuroscientists need their lunch cards.

5:40 am

Scrabbler

Hi kje, and what is that?

5:40 am

mom2han8

OK... have fun Monkey.

5:41 am

kje

mom2's cat thinks she is looking at another cat when seeing a mirror ; )

5:41 am

rubyfoo

hi everybody

5:41 am

Scrabbler

mom2, I live in a rural area with a huge geographical area for the school district--I think it is 45 min on the bus for kids up here.

5:41 am

mom2han8

I was up prior to the alarm this AM as well Scrabbs. In a few I have to go out and assess the shoveling.. I think we got about 2" today. I don't have to work, but I will make it easier on those who need to get out of here to do so.

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi ruby!

5:42 am

mom2han8

Yes... I went to a regional high school in a rural area and we were on the bus very early.

5:42 am

Scrabbler

Haha, kje, thinking about that experience still makes me both yelp and laugh.

5:42 am

rubyfoo

haz and ata were trying to help me this AM to get my icon pic up, but I finally sent a note to dre_god

5:42 am

kje

that was hilar, scrab

5:42 am

mom2han8

Yes... we were talking about you earlier... in a nice way, of course.

5:43 am

Scrabbler

Some icon work, some are not formatted to work

5:43 am

mom2han8

I was basically saying that my cat is very bright and yet he still insists on thinking that his reflection is another cat... I was told that he was in good company... LOL.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

makes me feel dumb, like this grid does!

5:43 am

mom2han8

I have never changed my icon.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

but ata put a chow chow pic on hers and it looks a lot like my ruby

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I can still relive that moment, rounding the corner, thinking that I was going to crash into this woman's cart, yelping, then seeing myself....silly life moment!

5:44 am

mom2han8

don't feel dumb... just push through.

5:44 am

mom2han8

Was your first reaction to apologize to "her"... that would have been my first reaction, LOL.

5:44 am

Scrabbler

I have 57 words

5:44 am

kje

grids are meant to make us feel dumb... they take special delight in it... I say kick it in the shins

5:45 am

Scrabbler

My first reaction was to look around and find out if anyone witnessed my behavior!

5:45 am

rubyfoo

lol kje

5:45 am

mom2han8

I have 34... my goal is to finish today... have not finished a grid in a while... but I am not leaving the house today... much to do here... so I will babble on and off all day.

5:45 am

rubyfoo

have never finished a grid in about 3 wks of playing every day!

5:46 am

mom2han8

Well, its a good story.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

74 words today but that is close to it for me

5:46 am

mom2han8

I am sure I will have to use the list... I think I only finished one in about 3 years without the list.

5:46 am

mom2han8

And it was like 31 words, LOL.

5:46 am

Scrabbler

I play tennis from 9-10:30 (EST) then the 8 ladies will have a brunch at a friend's home. She lives on 13 acres and we will snowshoe and cross-country ski all afternoon, with breaks to eat, laugh and play Scrabble.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

I don't know how to use the lists, another thing I don't know.....

5:47 am

mom2han8

Sounds like an awesome day!

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Then I am on call tonight through Monday morning---aaaargh!

5:47 am

rubyfoo

sounds like heaven, scrab, except for the snowshoe and ski part -- too strenuous for these old bones

5:47 am

kje

udon is not accepted by enable (neither is panini) - why does enable recongnize foreign currencies not even used in our vernacular, but not ethnic foods we eat all the time

5:47 am

rubyfoo

I used to downhill ski because gravity helped a lot

5:47 am

mom2han8

Just go to the bottom of this page and hit the link for lickety's babble clues... what I do is open it up, copy the URL, go back to this page, then open lickety in a new window... voila!

5:48 am

mom2han8

Not so awesome Scrabbs.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

I tried panini, with various double n placements too

5:48 am

mom2han8

Ours is not to question why kje... ha ha!

5:48 am

mom2han8

It is frustrating though.

5:49 am

kje

even in babble, money rules the world

5:49 am

Scrabbler

What is udon anyway?

5:49 am

mom2han8

My daughter and I were just talking about maybe doing some skiing in a couple of weeks. It's been a while and we both really enjoy it.

5:49 am

mom2han8

Downhill though... I was never much for the X-country.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Coffee anyone? I am going into the kitchen for a refill.

5:49 am

kje

udon is a noodle

5:50 am

Scrabbler

I forget where you live, mom2.

5:50 am

kje

japanese noodle

5:50 am

kje

used in soups mostly

5:50 am

mom2han8

We went two years ago and it was fun, but I really felt it afterwards more than I ever had before.

5:50 am

mom2han8

NJ Scrabbs

5:50 am

kje

as is soba, which it doesn't like either

5:50 am

mom2han8

OK... time to do the second round of wake ups and refill my own coffee... be back in a bit.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

My sister lives in Bergen County

5:51 am

mom2han8

That is where I live, Bergen County.

5:51 am

mom2han8

Where is your sister?

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Montvale. Next time I visit we can meet up. In Oct I met with Doren, nrkii, Owl, and JBV.

5:53 am

Scrabbler

How exciting, mom2. We can meet someday!

5:53 am

kje

fun pics from that scrab - looked neat

5:54 am

Scrabbler

We played SuperScrabble--me, Owl + my sister vs Doren + nrkii. We lost--nrkii is amazing with words.

5:54 am

kje

yes, I have played scrabble with her - fierce

5:55 am

5:56 am

mom2han8

I am in Maywood... not close, close... but doable...

5:56 am

mom2han8

Owl has family in Hackensack.. I am right next door to them.

5:56 am

yes

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Same county = close enough

5:56 am

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Doren is near Boonton, nrkii in Lambertville

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi Mudd--not into the big words yet

5:58 am

mom2han8

Wow... they are far... nrkii closer to Owl in Philly, LOL...

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but we all met up at Doren's

7:17 am

crosshair

for those who have not had the joy,at minus 40 or 50 celcius,ive had my spit freeze before it hits the ground;/

7:17 am

crosshair

poor mom

7:17 am

mom2han8

And, to top it all off, we ran out of french vanilla soy milk! I am out of the competition for mother of the year I'm afraid.

7:18 am

oodleberry

doesn't it vaporise?

7:18 am

crosshair

i woke my boy up late and shoved him out the door while he was still in a daze,he didnt wake up enough to complain

7:18 am

mom2han8

All of that snow and ice is beautiful to behold... but you guys can have it, LOL!

7:18 am

crosshair

partially oodles

7:18 am

mom2han8

I should try that crossy!

7:18 am

oodleberry

hee hee heee cross

7:18 am

mom2han8

We have our fair share, but nothing like you all have.

7:19 am

crosshair

french vanillia soy milk? ugh!

7:19 am

oodleberry

that's what a bucket of water does when it is that cold

7:19 am

mom2han8

I mix it with chocolate soy milk, add a dash of 1/2 and 1/2, pop it in the micro... that is what the girl drinks every AM.

7:19 am

oodleberry

uh when you pour it out real fast

7:20 am

crosshair

ever see tires on cars freeze with a flat spot on the bottom and you have to drive slow till they thaw oodles?

7:20 am

oodleberry

that is too funny with your boy cross

7:20 am

mom2han8

It is actually quite tasty.

7:21 am

crosshair

lot of work for just a glass of milk lol

7:21 am

oodleberry

I got it and when I heated it up and tasted it, it tasted like beans... but somewhat satisfied my chocolate fix

7:21 am

crosshair

unless you have a lactose issue i suppose

7:21 am

mom2han8

not so bad, really. I don't have to squeeze the soy beans or anything...

7:21 am

oodleberry

it=chocolate soy milk

7:22 am

mom2han8

Yeah... heated up straight it is not so good... it needs to be mixed with something... so we discovered that adding the french vanilla and the 1/2 and 1/2 makes for a tasty beverage.

7:22 am

mom2han8

No lactose issues.. we just really like soy milk.

7:22 am

crosshair

id have to be rich to stock soy milk here anyways,ive seen it at 8 dollars for 2 quarts/litres

7:23 am

oodleberry

ok kewel that is nice to know 2han8

7:23 am

mom2han8

The organic ones are expensive... the Zen Soy and Soy Silk are just a few cents over regular milk.

7:23 am

crosshair

ahhh

7:23 am

mom2han8

And readily available here.

7:24 am

jmitch

crosshair: I was telling someone about flat-spotting cold tires yesterday...they thought I was BS-ing them

7:24 am

crosshair

i tried it once and could not get over the after taste..reminded me somewhat of goats milk

7:24 am

oodleberry

or I think that is in the special Crosshair country stores

7:25 am

crosshair

lol jm,it is a real deal,ive seen it

7:25 am

mom2han8

A kid that spends a great deal of time in my house cannot have milk... allergy and lactose issues, so I started buying it for her and we discovered we liked it, too.

7:25 am

jmitch

think it was worse w/ bias-ply (old) tires

7:25 am

crosshair

yes,the old glass walled ones

7:26 am

mom2han8

Sounds a tad dangerous that your tires would have to "thaw" out, LOL.

7:26 am

jmitch

i moved south to get away from that. 20 degree (F) here this morning....everyone was in panic mode

7:26 am

crosshair

lol jm

7:26 am

mom2han8

Where are you now jmitch?

7:26 am

mom2han8

My husband was once "snowed in" in Nashville when they got 2" of snow...

7:27 am

crosshair

indeed mom,you have to just gor real slow for 10 minutes or so,and always remember to keep the tires properly inflated to reduce the risk

7:27 am

jmitch

you cant buy, beg, borrow or steal a space heater from any store....Pascagoula, MS mom.

7:27 am

crosshair

go out west of me mom and most stores and malls offer plug in bars out fromt for car block heaters

7:28 am

oodleberry

7:28 am

mom2han8

Ah... yes, unseasonably cold for you guys, then. I know it has been cold in Florida... my cousin was on facebook complaining about 40 degrees F... I reminded her where she was from... LOL.

7:28 am

crosshair

7:37 am

crosshair

lol mom

7:37 am

oodleberry

when I was there after 3 years I started wearing coats them because I was freezing ... when your body 'gets used' to the heat then it thins out and always wondered why people wore coats... when I had to have heat then I understood... it is logical when you are used to temps tween 60 - 90 degrees then all of a sudden it get below 50 and IT IS FAREEEEAINFG

7:37 am

mom2han8

And they were looking at me like I was crazy.. just had on a sweatshirt.

7:38 am

crosshair

my wife saw the same on a visit to largo in febuary,she and my biy were swimming and the locals were bundled up for the arctic

crosshair

i know some friends up in labrador/NWT area and they dont even put on a sweater till it is -10 lol

7:40 am

mom2han8

Listen, I barely wear a coat unless it is about 35 F or so... so I can understand getting acclimated.

7:40 am

jmitch

when i go up north during winter 30 (F) feels warmer than 40(F) does down here...i think it's a humidity thing

7:40 am

oodleberry

actually in texas the heat is drier and should be tolerable than the heat in florida

7:40 am

crosshair

my brother could not stand it oodles

7:40 am

oodleberry

oh you have humididididty there in texas?

7:40 am

mom2han8

Bear Grylls rocks. Although, I don't envy him when he eats wood larvae, etc.

7:58 am

mom2han8

7:58 am

Atalante

7:58 am

crosshair

he would be a dead man in the bush up north lol

7:58 am

hurshy

i don't envy him, ever. i envy his wife a bit. mainly i just watch to see what crazy thing he'll eat next. and i always, always answer the question, "could you survive...?" with a resounding, NO!

7:59 am

crosshair

ive eaten things that would make a billy goat puke lol

7:59 am

mom2han8

Does anyone remember the comedian Sam Kineson? He had this routine about the Ethiopian famine... he was like, "someone is filming them... don't they have any food with them? Give them a sandwich!"... obviously the famine was not funny, but that routine was.

7:59 am

Judi

Well, he'd definitely be dead if he didn't always have his Gore-Tex wear, his knife and flint. I don't care how hungry I was. I would draw the line at eating skunk.

8:00 am

mom2han8

I feel the same way about that Bear guy... obviously he is never really in any mortal danger.

8:00 am

Judi

lol, Mom! I remember that! "Go where the food is!"

8:00 am

crosshair

ive eaten raw porkupine;)

8:00 am

hurshy

oh, i've always thought it odd when there are ethiopian restaurants cause there was so much famine there when i was a kid particularly - i'd be like, i thought they didn't have food there.

8:00 am

mom2han8

Yes Judi... twisted and sick... but reasonable and funny.

8:01 am

mom2han8

why? and in what circumstance, crossy?

8:01 am

mom2han8

And those Ghosthunters guys are just stupid...

8:01 am

8:02 am

It's magic, hego.

8:26 am

hego

Or a mad genius in a tower somewhere.

8:27 am

hurshy

by a computer. there are some algorithms about minimum number of vowels and frequency of letter appearance to correspond to english usage, obviously.

8:27 am

hego

Yes I thought so, hurshy. But it's a mad, sadistic computer, I'm sure.

8:28 am

hurshy

no, highly unlikely

8:29 am

hego

A little anthropomorphic of me, I'm sure.

Hello Melon head, stid and fuquay. and inge and whomever is still here. I want to tell Ru his Pup is really nice looking.

hey red!

9:16 am

redturtlehead

How are we all?

9:16 am

I am going to go and get a clue icon although I only have 9 words...

9:17 am

melonheadjujube

all good!

9:18 am

melonheadjujube

as if i could speak fr all of Babbledon!

9:18 am

stidmama

I am miffed. Work stidkid up at 6:20, thinking that he needed to get the bus at 7. Apparently I missed the line in the email that he needed to leave from schjool at 6:50 this morning (meaning we should have been up at 5:30...)

9:19 am

redturtlehead

Oh no Stid.

9:19 am

stidmama

of course, he is the boy who is going to the debate tournament, I am not even driving this time.

9:19 am

redturtlehead

I now have a clue for a pi 6, 21 in my icon.

9:19 am

stidmama

otherwise, I think things are fine here today -- not overly cold or snowy.

9:19 am

redturtlehead

It has warmed up here, meaning I must go swimming.

9:19 am

fuquayvarina

thanks red, didn't have that one!

9:20 am

redturtlehead

I think my dancing oyster from yesterday had had enough wear. And you are welcome Fuquay!

Did the stidkid make it on time to the right place?

melonheadjujube

i sha;; now icon shop

9:21 am

redturtlehead

Ohhhh Melon head, pick a nice hard one. My other option was a do5 14...

9:21 am

stidmama

nope. he is on the bus, which takes an hour to get to school red -- and was supposed to be at school ten minutes before the bus left home.

9:21 am

redturtlehead

Oh so he missed the debate thing?

9:21 am

stidmama

thing is, he wasn't even going to be up in time to get to school! I had to roust him out of bed

9:21 am

rumplestiltskin

clue for the in7/32 please

9:22 am

stidmama

not yet, his father is saying he will pick him up at school and drive him to the tournament. At most, he'll miss the first round.

9:22 am

fuquayvarina

what you do on the back of a check, rumple, but spelled wrong

9:22 am

redturtlehead

rumple, I do not have it.

9:22 am

phaeton

in7...to sign a check

9:22 am

melonheadjujube

back with a clue!

9:23 am

stidmama

but it's highly inconvenient, and HE should have reminded us and gotten himself up for this. Since he doesn't drive, and since there are no buses within 15 miles of our house, he needs to be on top of things.

9:23 am

stidmama

thanks for the in word

9:23 am

redturtlehead

Thanks Phae, I thought that word was an en word, but I guessit goes both ways...

9:23 am

Oooh Thansk Melon! Very pretty clue!

Aloyisius

hi stid.. sounds like stidkid learned a lesson this morning.. but ooh, what a start to your day!

I hate rushing. It gives me anxiety.

stidkid does this frequently, aloyisius... I had to wake him up at least three times this week just for normal days.

9:27 am

phaeton

Aloyisius

9:27 am

fuquayvarina

redturtlehead

Life, I do not hate, anxiety I do...

9:28 am

phaeton

do you ni7?

9:28 am

stidmama

he does, but doesn't use it. I think I may just remove his stereo that he says wakes him up (it has a timer) so he is forced to use the alarm. It really can't keep going like this!

9:28 am

9:41 am

Anniebrook

9:42 am

12:28 pm

Haz1558

That's not the British way, Katie - remember the wartime slogan 'Keep calm and carry on.'

12:29 pm

KatieMcG

honestly i've done the last two days but I can work from home just as well without the 4 hours of stressful driving round it

12:29 pm

Haz1558

(Katie is now constructing a voodoo doll named Haz)

12:30 pm

KatieMcG

no just glad I have a job I can do from home been worried about your vet hubby who has to go out and about to remote areas

12:30 pm

Haz1558

He's got winter tyres fitted now - first time ever but he got fed up being towed out of lanes etc!

12:31 pm

Haz1558

But even he's complaining about the cold, he's taken to wearing an extra layer.

12:32 pm

KatieMcG

oh that is a good idea, at least my 62 miles is on motorways/trunk roads so I only have to worry about sheet ice coming off lorries and not being able to see as my screen wash has been frozen for the last month

12:33 pm

Haz1558

Yes, funnily enough I got more screen wash put in today by a nice man at the garage, but it's no use, it's frozen. I thought it had run out.

12:33 pm

Atalante

hi Haz! what does La Glitterata think of the snow?

12:33 pm

KatieMcG

I announced to my boss that they had stopped gritting the hill by me so I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in, he said he had appreciated my efforts this week and just to make sure I was safe which is nice

12:34 pm

Haz1558

Hello Ata! She likes the snow when it arrives at first, all tossing it in the air and cavorting about, but is a bit bored with it now. Like the rest of us!

12:34 pm

hi Katie

Hi boo

I think it must be -7 or -8 here at the minute, my car says -12 but it always exaggerates by about 4 degrees.

12:35 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Boo.

12:36 pm

Atalante

<- hobbit likes snow!

12:36 pm

had a major trauma today. my two hounds got out in october and were missing for two days. plastered the neighborhood with flyers, worried for two days and spent several thousand dollars at the vet for one that was hit by a car. today i got a voicemail message with the caller saying she saw my dogs on a very busy street near where i live. rushed home only to find them safe and sound in the back yard. guess she had an old flyer and saw a couple of dogs that looked like mine. much trauma! i'm now cuddling with 150 pounds of hound and drinking some wine.

Hello lickety! How are ya? Thanks for sharing the video

Lickety - those magpies are photo negative versions of ours in UK and our magpies are anything but 'sweet'.

9:30 pm

adubin77

Hi Lickety! Did you make Lickety's Babble Clues?

9:30 pm

Jacula

I did have a laugh at one of ours a week or so ago, though; trying to emulate a humming bird and hovering to eat peanuts from the bird feeder.

9:30 pm

licketySplitAUS

adubin77 - Yes I did!

9:30 pm

licketySplitAUS

Jacula - Magpies here can also get territorial around mating season

9:32 pm

Jacula

Our magpies are just thugs in white vests all year round, Lickety. They steal eggs and chicks from nests and just generally try to bully all of the other birds.

9:32 pm

adubin77

O thx, Lickety! We've been able to win with your help. Feels better than not finishing!

9:34 pm

Only the starlings and crows are not 'fazed' by them.
