11:24 am
jmcnrick
fun fun fun
11:25 am
Sally-catlover
Well the first bit sounds good, jmc. Not so sure about the hazardous waste.
11:25 am
jmcnrick
it was good to get it out of the house and they won't pick it up -- you have to take it on certain days
11:26 am
jmcnrick
batteries, paint, electronic things
11:27 am
Atalante
how is that du7 a word!
11:28 am
Shirlockc
clue pls?
11:28 am
jmcnrick
it means to snub someone i think ata
11:29 am
jmcnrick
it is not really the same as to du4 a table
11:29 am
Atalante
how odd!
11:29 am
Sally-catlover
The definition says it is slang for Medevac.
11:29 am
jmcnrick
lol what's new? ;-)
11:30 am
jmcnrick
really???? i never heard that!
11:31 am
welki

11:31 am
Sally-catlover
Ata (or anyone) can I ask you a Facebook etiquette question?
11:31 am
jmcnrick

pippingeek
back for round 2 after some sleep
11:32 am
welki
one of the few times i picked a theme up from sprite and i get lip *lol*
11:33 am
Sally-catlover
I am friends with several Babblers. I have had a friend request from someone I've never heard of but I think is the husband of one of them. AFAIK he doesn't play Babble. I don't want to offend Babble friend, but not sure whether to agree or just ignore.
11:33 am
jmcnrick
what is the theme today?
11:33 am
Atalante
what did you almost do your PhD in, pippin?
11:33 am
welki
funny shoelaces
11:33 am
Joanne123
fe6 the last please
11:33 am
jmcnrick
you can ignore without offending
11:33 am
pippingeek
sally, what about just sending a message asking who the person is?
11:33 am
Atalante
do you want to friend him?
11:34 am
hego
Like these jmc
11:34 am
welki
ignore ... love that button
11:34 am
jmcnrick
i was not giving you lip by the way
11:34 am
jmcnrick
o I wish I had a photo of my favorite shoe laces i wear -- dollars signs!
11:34 am
welki
danged internet .. no inflection. apologies, jmc
11:34 am
pippingeek
i was in social foundations of education - so anthropology, sociology, history, and philosophy all at once
11:34 am
jmcnrick
so there welki :-P
11:34 am
Sally-catlover
Yes, I might just ask who he is. I can't imagine why he would want to friend a total stranger
11:35 am
Atalante
ooo interesting. stidmama would be interested in that I'm sure
11:35 am
pippingeek
i loved the coursework and the reading and learning, just not really meant to work as an academic
11:35 am
jmcnrick
lol np welki i am very hard to offend in the chog
11:35 am
Atalante
sally, just message him saying something like "hi, I assume yo're the husband of XXXX. Just checking, I don't normally friend people I don't know"
11:35 am
redturtlehead
popping back in, to say Sally, Ignore him.
11:36 am
pippingeek
i also loved teaching women's studies
11:36 am
Atalante
I tried to be an academic, just no jobs available in it
11:36 am
redturtlehead
I have gotten several unusual requests from men and odd russian ladies....
11:36 am
jmcnrick
if you ask him a question it is harder to ignore imho
11:36 am
Sally-catlover
Good idea Ata. I think some people just like to score a high number of "friends"
11:37 am
jmcnrick
hey red! you tricked me into the pb on your parting shot before cleaning! *glare*
11:37 am
Judi
Afternoon, peeps.
11:37 am
welki
i agree with jmc .. if you don't know him, even if you know his wife, why would you want to friend him?
11:37 am
Atalante
but it canabsolve feeling guilty about ignoring people - if you tell them you won't freiend anyone you don't actually know or something
11:37 am
Sally-catlover
lol red. No unusual requests like that, I'm glad to say.
11:37 am
Judi
Friend no one. Enslave all.
11:37 am
pippingeek
lol, judi
11:37 am
Atalante
yep, I don't have friends, I have minions
11:37 am
welki
i have onions
11:38 am
jmcnrick
my problem is that now that some of the people i knew growing up have found me it is harder to duck the jerks from yesteryear
11:38 am
jmcnrick
mmmm onions
11:38 am
jmcnrick
hi judi
11:38 am
Sally-catlover
You must be a cat Ata.
11:38 am
pippingeek
onions are stronger than minions!
11:38 am
Atalante
I learnt well from all my cats growing up :)
11:39 am
Sally-catlover
The saddest thing about today is that we have bacon in the house and I meant to have a bacon sarnie for breakfast, and I FORGOT!!
11:39 am
Judi
If you reconnect with old friends, that's a re-onion.
11:39 am
welki
..and usually taste better, too
11:39 am
jmcnrick
and no surprise to me these lovely Texas that treated me like sh&* when I was growing up are -- shall we say-- from a vastly different political persuasion than I?
11:39 am
pippingeek
oof, that's bad!
11:39 am
Atalante
that *is* sad!
11:39 am
jmcnrick
that is a sad sad story sally!
11:40 am
sciencegeek
Oh no, JMC! Such talk! LOL
11:40 am
pippingeek
i have the same problem, jmc!
11:40 am
welki
i've been found, too, jmc ... uncomfortable past and now they want to be friends. *ptui*
11:40 am
jmcnrick
i never can keep bacon in my house -- i fry it all up eat in one sitting
11:40 am
Sally-catlover
I'm out to lunch tomorrow so will skip breakfast, but there's always Monday to look forward to. :-)
11:40 am
Judi
I refuse to get involved with Facebook, Twitter, etc.
11:41 am
pippingeek
i do have one very interesting friend from hs who friended me
11:41 am
jmcnrick
i mean really these are the same kids that called me a cootie, never invited me any where and generally mad my life HELL and they want to be friends NOW?
11:41 am
pippingeek
and a year later she outed herself as "belle de jour"
11:41 am
Judi
CootieCootieCootieCootie!
11:41 am
welki
i thought you grew up in texas ... those are the same folks that i went to school with in queens!
11:41 am
pippingeek
so basically, i went to hs with possibly the world's most famous prostitute
11:41 am
Sally-catlover
Oh really, pippin? I read about her.
11:42 am
jmcnrick
*belle de jour*? lesbian for the duration??
11:42 am
sciencegeek
lol pip
11:42 am
Judi
Heidi Fleiss?
11:42 am
pippingeek
she's got a blog and they made it into several books and a tv series
11:42 am
jmcnrick
judi i know you are trying to be amusing but that is actually like pouring salt on an open cut
11:43 am
Atalante
with Billie Piper
11:43 am
Judi
Sorry, jmc. ((Hug))
11:44 am
jmcnrick
i know you didn't mean anything judi ((Hug))
11:44 am
welki
my parents divorced in the early 60's and were of two different religions ... the kids loved it, lots of material there
11:44 am
jmcnrick
ooo that kind of belle de jour!
11:45 am
jmcnrick
i honestly was very clear to my adult friends that if anyone gave my son the Cootie game i would immediately throw it in the trash -- so i admit to being a little obsessive about it
11:45 am
JBV
good morning babblers - aren't we glad to have good babble friends - just reading back on your evil hs years
11:45 am
Sally-catlover
Wasn't she some sort of scientist in her day job? Something high-powered, but it didn't pay well.
11:45 am
welki
<-- took lots of cootie shots in the school stairwells
11:45 am
Atalante
sorry, I shouldn't ask - but cootie game?
11:46 am
jmcnrick
lord knows it helps to be older!!!!!!
11:46 am
jmcnrick
it is a board game ata
11:46 am
sciencegeek
a stupid board game ata
11:46 am
Atalante
Brooke Magnanti
11:46 am
pippingeek
she actually does quite well with the science, the call girl thing was when she was in grad school
11:46 am
welki
older, more experienced, tougher (in the eyes of others) ... but those old barbs still sting, don't they
11:47 am
Judi
I thought "Cootie" was a toy you assembled - kind of like Mr. Potatohead. Obviously, I never had one.
11:47 am
Sally-catlover
ISTR it was to pay her fees, pippin.
11:47 am
pippingeek
i had that cootie toy when i was young!
11:47 am
jmcnrick
well believe it or not i got several offers of that sort when i was working my way through college . . .
11:48 am
jmcnrick
i think there are toys too but i really think the manufacturer should be shot
11:48 am
Sally-catlover
They say most housewives are sitting on a furtune, jmc.
11:48 am
JBV
i think many girls get started that way, jmc, so easy to accept cash, then the lightbulb goes on
11:48 am
pippingeek
i never got those offers, but then i went to uni in the bible belt
11:48 am
Sally-catlover
!! furtune > fortune
11:48 am
jmcnrick
why on earth would you think it would be fun to make a toy out of a childhood insult?
11:49 am
Judi
Remember "Mystery Date"? Poindexter was the loser date.
11:49 am
jmcnrick
i went to Uni in Texas myself pip
11:49 am
Sally-catlover
Why is cootie an insult? Genuinely don't know.
11:49 am
pippingeek
i can't decide if texas is better than georgia
11:49 am
Atalante
I don't know either
11:49 am
pippingeek
cooties is what you say someone has when you don't like them
11:50 am
jmcnrick
it is an imaginary form of lice --- bugs that get form touching the person "with" cooties
11:50 am
pippingeek
oh, gross, don't touch him, he has cooties
11:50 am
Judi
Cooties were generally (and childishly) though of as germs, bacteria, etc.
11:50 am
Sally-catlover
Oh! TY.
11:50 am
Judi
Anything thought to be contagious.
11:50 am
jmcnrick
so if that unfortunate person picks up your pencil you run around screaming "cooties" and ask for cootie spray
11:50 am
pippingeek
i vastly prefer cooters to cooties
11:50 am
welki
cooties was a make believe disease kids said you had ... cooties = lice = icky. but if you got pinched in a certain way, you'd have had a cootie shot
11:51 am
Sally-catlover
Sorry, I find that quite funny jmc.
11:51 am
Judi
Cookies are way better.
11:51 am
Jayk
Afternoon (or whatever) all--just popping in to ask for mercy. I need the fifth se word (se 5/16) and the se 4 that i think is the last one
11:51 am
welki
and if someone touched someone else who "had" cooties, they were then infected until a friend gave them a cootie shot
11:51 am
jmcnrick
it isn't funny if you are the person who is thought to give the cooties
11:51 am
pippingeek
it's funny when you're not the butt of the joke

it went on day after day and year after year

we now have hours and hours of staff training for teachers on how to recognize/stop/prevent bullying, etc. but sadly the kids are very inventive and will keep on coming up with new things
11:52 am

kids suck sometimes
11:52 am

11:58 am
Judi
My husband claims to hate chick peas. However, I made hummus once and told him it was "bean dip". He loved it.
11:58 am
jmcnrick
i would have kept her out of sympathy but she decided she wanted me to pay her under the table which i cannot do
11:58 am
pippingeek
i normally eat mine with naan if i can find it
11:58 am
welki
ahhh, i ran into that, too! i can't, either
11:59 am

11:59 am
helensgirlkid
Housekeepers are hard to predict - my mother had one woman, a delight - they had many common interests, could chat all day, but if my mother wanted to read or write letters, she wasn't interrupted. But her husband retired and they wanted to move to Florida; the next woman we found was almost illiterate and could talk of nothing but religion and politics at table. Very difficult for my mother, who was basically captive with her for hours every day.
11:59 am
jmcnrick
good idea judi! lol
11:59 am
jmcnrick
that is why i only hire for a trail period before i hire for real

Lucky you. Unfortunately it reminds me that I have no idea what I'll be feeding self and family tonight.
2:03 pm
Vicuna
lol. I react badly to onions. I find it helps to recite tragic poetry though. SHame to waste the tears.
2:03 pm
FMitch
I'll leave the pot in the PB for you then.
2:05 pm
FMitch
*grabs pot back* and makes note that Vi can't do onions, Ata can't do co6/39 and HAz can't do prawns.
2:05 pm
Vicuna
No no, I love onions! I can EAT them. I just can't CHOP them without copious tears!
2:06 pm
Vicuna
I can eat ANYTHING! Now give me back that pot!
2:06 pm

Good to see you I feel I have been inabesntia for a while but am trying to get back to a normal routine ish.

Well, I missed a lot of Babble over the holidays anyway. We had lots of people in the house, etc etc. ANd I don't always chat so much these days. But it's always good to see you!

Hello, Joanne.
2:08 pm
Joanne123
am finished but can't stay away...i'm sick
2:08 pm
FMitch
and you too dear :) I have to say the recipe I used today was so simple and god did it taste gooooooood!
2:09 pm
Vicuna
*offers Joanne the French onion soup*
2:09 pm
FMitch
No tsick Joanne, jsut addicted like the rest of us - although we will deny it if asked.
2:09 pm
Joanne123
no not that kinda sick lol
2:09 pm
Vicuna
Ooohhh.... lol. *takes back pot once again*
2:09 pm
Christine
Vicuna - have you seen the onion chopper that keeps everything in a covered container ... the fumes won't get you.
2:10 pm
Joanne123
sick for the many returns...i love to hate to finish
2:10 pm
Vicuna
"as seen on TV"? Sounds like something else to clean, though. And cleaning makes me cry, too! lol
2:10 pm
joey
can you please share the simple french onion soup recipe? i would love to try it. thanks
2:10 pm
Joanne123
i don't deny
2:10 pm
FMitch
That would'nt work for the soup Christine as you need to slice them thinly so that all the sugars can be released.
2:11 pm
Vicuna
If I keep the onions in the refrigerator they aren't quite so volatile.
2:11 pm
Joanne123
fm i want the recipe
2:11 pm
FMitch
Hang on a sec joey and I will get you the link to the one I justused.
2:12 pm
Joanne123
dog just poofed cabbage
2:12 pm
Christine
Then what abpout using a mandolin? That would be so much quicker than slicing, and the slices could be as thin as you want.
2:13 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, that would work.
2:13 pm
FMitch
http://tinyurl.com/ybhv32d
HEre you go - you can use home made or bought stock wroks well either way and be brave when doing the long slow cook of the onions.
2:15 pm
FMitch
but don't use stock cubes.
2:15 pm
Vicuna
Mmmm, looks yummy.
2:15 pm
Joanne123

2:18 pm
Vicuna
Next art show would be first weekend in May. Just carved a pair of Quails Suitable for Valentine's Gift (ha ha) but haven't printed them yet.
2:19 pm

Snuffy and coughy - sounds like extras for Snow White *grin* sorryto hear they are stil not back to driving you fully crazy.
2:19 pm
FMitch
oh do email me a pci when you do the first ones - would love to see it.
2:20 pm

Oh, they're quite perky, actually. But it drives me much more crazy when they're all pathetic.
2:20 pm
FMitch
awe ((()))
2:20 pm
Vicuna
The TOGs are perky. The quails are, too, though, I guess. Sure, I'll send you a pic.
2:21 pm

*refrains from nagging FM about when she's going to get back to work on some needlepoint or other fun projects*
2:22 pm
FMitch
I hope they are back to bouncy ToGness soon.
Umm am taken up with still sorting the house but did look on the net to see what embroidery classes there are in the area but to join the City and Guilds costs a fortune so am still looking.
2:23 pm
Vicuna
Wow, you've done better than I expected if you even started looking into it! I'm impressed!
2:23 pm
FMitch
also noticed there are salsa classes not far away but as the weather has been sooooooo bad haven;t even thought about it yet - come the spring perhaps.
2:23 pm

Oooeeer. Salsa!
2:24 pm

3:06 pm

3:18 pm

Oh Christine. No answer to that!
3:19 pm
hego
Victor Borge told the story of meeting his wife. he said he sent out for coffee and a Danish and there she was!
3:21 pm
Christine
Well, they've been married for 36years (we were only four, I think) so for him it must be better the second time around.
3:22 pm
hego
Anyone need any clues?
3:22 pm
Soodle
Did you bag a Viking to replace him, Christine?
3:22 pm

MetFan
TY hego, too
3:24 pm
bojazz
thx Soodle - never, ever woulda done that
3:24 pm

Heck - I never heard it before, Met. I think its a Babbleism.
3:24 pm
bojazz
thx Hego also
3:25 pm
Christine
Oh come on, what sort of dopey madeup word is that?
3:25 pm
MetFan
Never heard of it either, and I used to read the dictionary for kicks
3:26 pm

a word of convenience - for the grid!
3:26 pm

Hah! 'suitable for bashing-in-the-eye of Vikiings who steal your husband'.
3:27 pm

3:27 pm
Soodle
Yay!!! You Go Christine!!
3:27 pm
oodleberry
I tried to find it but I couldn't
3:28 pm
bojazz
suppose it is related to "kidneystone" ??
3:28 pm
Soodle
Nah. I can't see anything, Oodle...
3:28 pm
bojazz
ask away...
3:29 pm
redturtlehead
AHHHHH, I have returned the carpet shampooer to the store. It isnt perfect, but I couldnt stand to have the thing any more.
3:29 pm
Christine
I'm thinking perhaps she sat, in the altogether, on a rock in the harbor: that'd get his attention.
3:29 pm
oodleberry
when you said you were in Copenhägen 55 years ago I got the impression you were from there and I also asked... I never heard it pronounced copenhaven
3:29 pm
hego
Red, you're all done! Whew
3:30 pm
redturtlehead
I have a feeling I could shampoo for a week straight...... now I just need to organize a bit and get some light bu;bs how is everyone?
3:30 pm
Soodle
Well, Christine - I saw that statue. And it is the most insignificant little national monument I ever saw. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. All I could say was 'Is that it?'
3:30 pm

OH now I will never know
3:32 pm
Christine
Well, he's not a bad guy, and we made a beautiful baby/young woman... and he paid child support until she was 21, so -
3:33 pm
Christine
But I must say, without any bias or prejudice, our kid is better looking and nicer than theirs, so there!!
3:34 pm
Soodle
I suppose he's not all bad, so, Christine. Better than the yoke I married. He skedaddled 2½ years ago, and not one cent since then, for me or our three kids.
3:34 pm
bojazz
oodle - not a Dane (English descent) - born in Vermont - and they hit the V, not the G
3:34 pm

I like the Victor Borge joke.

Last heard of in Bangkok, Thailand (!!)
3:35 pm
oodleberry
ohhhhh ty bo
3:36 pm
Christine
Well, Soodlebum, remember this - all you've lost is him, but he's lost you and his kids.
3:37 pm
Soodle
Absolutely, Christine. He phoned on Christmas Day, and not one of the kids would speak to him. Mind you, he was off his face.
3:37 pm
oodleberry
clue for the lone e is that ee?
3:37 pm
Christine
?? off his face ?? drunk?
3:38 pm
Soodle
Yup Drunk. As a skunk.

Soodle
Oodle, its a ey 4/6

Who was last heard of in Thailand?
3:39 pm
Soodle
My runaway husband!
3:40 pm
oodleberry
is that plural of those out of which you see ?
3:40 pm
Soodle
No, Oodle. you have the first 3 letters right, tho.
3:40 pm
wildcat17
no it's that word with a different cons at the end
3:41 pm
joym999

An unborn baby in the womb, Joy.

Pooh on him, ;let him stay there. You don't need a runner - except you children need to be provided for.
3:42 pm
Soodle
That fireworks for you Joy?
3:42 pm
oodleberry
ok I am confuzzled
3:42 pm
wildcat17

3:43 pm
oodleberry
i got that
3:43 pm
wildcat17
the fo?
3:43 pm
Soodle
Confuzzled! Crikey, we are going to see that one in Babble soon - will you stop giving Lickety ideas, Oodle.
3:44 pm
Soodle
Oodle. 2 ey's. One is the seeing organs, and the other is the first 3 letters of that one, with a different ending - the one-humped cons. (I hate confuzzlement)
3:50 pm
Soodle
Have I totally murdered the chog?
3:50 pm
pippingeek
nope, just staring at the grid
3:51 pm
oodleberry
and why would that change the grid... lickety doesn't have anything to do with the grid itself he only gives clues
3:51 pm
Soodle
Thank goodness, Pippi. I thought everybody had run away...
3:51 pm
pippingeek
i'm down to 23 and may have to go to a2z
3:51 pm
pippingeek
was excited thinking this might be the first time i didn't need it
3:52 pm
Soodle
I doubt if I can help, Pippi, but if you want to run any by me....
3:53 pm
pippingeek
i'm going to go through the chog history first and see if i can find any good clues
3:53 pm
oodleberry
didn't understand the humped letter... I thought it was like humpback letter... figured it out ty
3:55 pm

There WAS once a time when that question would elicit at least a few knowing snickers - am I REALLY getting old???
4:00 pm

Steady on, Met..... (actually, I was waiting for a couple of smart-alec replies myself -- LOL
4:01 pm
MetFan
I was beginning to think I was the only one chortling to that one, Soodle!!

Hi TOwl. When I first started it was done a LOT, happily it's reduced down to almost nothing

4:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
whne i first started, it was understood that not everyone could finish. Clues were asked for rarely and those given were witty.
4:07 pm
lynxxx
I only started a few months after you and i remember being terribly confused about what the snake letter, hump, hook was. I think the chat is more chatty nowadays as Lickety is now available and you don't have to concenttrate so much on the grid
4:08 pm
Soodle
Whenever I see somebody looking for a clue, and I already have the answer, I find it very hard not to throw my tuppence worth in.
4:08 pm
72 Temple Owl
i agree. but not sure that is a good thing
4:09 pm
lynxxx
Kind of agree with you TO.
4:11 pm
redturtlehead
Hey all. I am really befuddled by the grid, but am working on it as it has nothing to do with carpet shampooing.
4:11 pm
lynxxx
Not critising at all Soodle, it's just how much the game has changed/developed over the years.
4:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
lol i had hair cut and highlighted today.
4:12 pm
lynxxx
hi Red...and when does Mum arrive?
4:12 pm

4:14 pm
redturtlehead
No more carpet shampooing. All I need to do now is the ishes, the laundry and clean off a chair and change the lightbubs.
4:14 pm
redturtlehead
but back in the day, people didn't always get fireworks, because of the lack of Lickety.
4:15 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh...change the lightbulbs? couldn't you just du4 them?
4:15 pm
Soodle
And have you guys been here since the beginning?
4:15 pm
72 Temple Owl

4:15 pm

The da 4/5 is January 16, 2010 & here is my story of clues for the day.It might bring tears to your ey4/6 Last night, I attended a benefit to raise money for a four month old baby who has leukemia.The family has been in such an emotional st5/10 since the diagnosis and it has been a te 4/4 to their marriage. The mom had to take FMLA so the family is living on one salary and we don't want the family to lose their es 6/18 to medical bills. The co 4/5 of benefit was $40.00. They made a lot of money at the benefit. All who attended paid benefit fe 4/7. This was the 1st benefit so 5/16 but there will be more to be held on other da 5/12. I have never se 4/4 such an outpouring of support for someone.Was a designated driver so I drank co6/39 all night. On 4/5 it was over, I drove my au 4/5 back home. It was a very long day for me and I was happy to return home to my co5/16 bed.Now my friend has some very hard decisions to fa4/8 in terms of chemo for her daughter.The baby was se4/4 home to spend Christmas with her family,but now she is back in the hospital. Now I am going to take a break and get out of this se 4/4 and go sit on the so 4/7 and watch tv.
