1:49 am

FMitch

Phew hard ones to clue and greetings all

oops I'm out of practice sorry

2:07 am

rubyfoo

how are you feeling, sprite?

2:07 am

sandyloo

Sprite I hope you have not been ill

2:08 am

sprite

slept well, slightly better again, thanks rubyfoo for asking.

2:08 am

rubyfoo

my "mystery" white tulips finally opened and are gorgeous - 2 shades of pink, shite and green, not quite parrot

2:08 am

sprite

sandy: yeah, quite a while already. But getting a bit stronger every day now.

2:08 am

rubyfoo

white* sorry, bad ruby!

2:09 am

flosey

oh, lovely ruby, I love tulips

2:09 am

sprite

they sound pretty

2:09 am

flosey

and Fireworks

2:09 am

rubyfoo

many of them come and go, lasting just one or two years but some multiply

2:09 am

flosey

thanks everyone for great clues

2:09 am

sprite

gratz

2:09 am

rubyfoo

congrats flosey, smart flosey!

2:09 am

sandyloo

Sprite, that's no good, you have to keep well to keep playing

2:10 am

sandyloo

wd flo

2:10 am

flosey

would never have finished today without the clues

2:11 am

sprite

well I am back to playing regularly now, sandy, so that is ok :)

2:11 am

flosey

and good to have you back sprite

2:11 am

rubyfoo

it's good exercise, lol

2:11 am

sprite

thnx

2:12 am

flosey

wow, this cat just cannot get enough head rubs tonight

2:13 am

flosey

off to bed, early pool exercises tomorrow, goodnight all

2:13 am

sprite

night flosey

2:14 am

rubyfoo

yestyerday was gardening and cooking; I was flat out collapsed by the evening, ended up taking a nap before doing dishes, a first!

2:14 am

sandyloo

nite flo

2:14 am

sprite

sounds very good, rubyfoo

2:14 am

sandyloo

ergent

2:14 am

sandyloo

LOL

2:15 am

sprite

nice try, sandy :)

2:15 am

rubyfoo

pool exercises are the best, I've heard, flosey. I get no real exercise beyond stairs (many many) and the above and, of course, babble

2:15 am

sandyloo

just thought I'd try it -I know its not a word

2:15 am

sandyloo

must be more vigilant

2:16 am

sprite

that is part of babbling. Sometimes they are words! Even if you were certain they couldn't possibly be. I tried it right after it appeared in chat, just to be sure.

2:17 am

rubyfoo

this grid is harder than I first thought. Hmm.

2:18 am

jillibus

Oh -- was watching Jon Stewart and missed flosey's fireworks -- sorry! YAY flosey!!!

2:18 am

Douglas

Actually, I'm ok with joie not being a word

2:18 am

rubyfoo

genius is a nice phantom!

2:19 am

rubyfoo

doesn't apply to me, of course....

2:19 am

sprite

takes one to find one

2:19 am

sandyloo

Sprite, was just reading your icon blurb-very interesting and Terra looks so gorgeous

2:19 am

sprite

thanks sandy!

2:19 am

sprite

oh and I love the phrase icon blurb!

2:20 am

Douglas

Pleased that there are two words with "ion" in them

2:20 am

Douglas

Pleased that there are two words with "ion" in them

2:20 am

jillibus

sandy -- my writeup is almost the same as sprite's -- just tweaked a bit.

2:21 am

sandyloo

oooh Jilli, I will read it as well- I'll have to get back into the icon thing , I always did like that

2:22 am

rubyfoo

that was helpful, douglas, clues without being too obvious! ty

2:24 am

sandyloo

Jilli, just been perusing your great photos. Do you show Danes?

2:24 am

sprite

we have many lovely themes coming up, sandy! Looking forward to your contribution, always interesting :)

2:25 am

jillibus

we did, sandy, many years ago

2:26 am

jillibus

* * fireworks * *

2:26 am

gratz jilli

2:26 am

rubyfoo

yay, jilli!

2:27 am

Douglas

Yay jilli!

2:28 am

kimmtoats

can't keep my eyes open any longer. see you all tomorrow!

2:29 am

jillibus

g'night kim!

2:29 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams, kimm

2:29 am

sandyloo

Jilli, Do you miss it, I miss showing the horses (but not getting up at ungodly hours to get to shows)

2:31 am

jillibus

Yes, I've missed the showing and the ringside judging, and I know what you mean about the early rising, which is not my bag at all. In fact, I was being urged to go in for serious judging (I had done some informal assignments) but couldn't face those hours.

2:32 am

sandyloo

Do you breed the dogs now or just keep them company?

2:33 am

jillibus

But I'm still in contact with some Dane people.

2:33 am

jillibus

Sandy, I have no dogs or cats now. Did you scroll down to my bio?

2:33 am

sandyloo

I will

2:33 am

rubyfoo

I used to sy the first 50 were easy -- not today lol

2:34 am

rubyfoo

see you later, I had better get dressed and start the day. ((hugs to all))

2:34 am

jillibus

Ruby, this hasn't been an easy grid. Do you need clues? I have to go to bed soon, but can stay a little longer.

2:35 am

jillibus

ok, bye ruby!

2:36 am

sandyloo

Jilli, How funny, I used to work in labs as a neurohistologist, I am currently painting using acrylics, we have done some obedience with our dogs- seems like we have something in common

2:37 am

sandyloo

and I watch Corrie

2:37 am

jillibus

sounds like it, sandy! What kind of dogs?

2:38 am

sandyloo

We have two jack russels (very clever and well trained) and a border collie (smart and sneaky) I also used to breed mini poodles

2:39 am

jillibus

wow, those dogs must keep you going! Not exactly couch potatoes!

2:40 am

sandyloo

The border is a big couch potato - she is a "Borderfame" border strictly bred for the bench- but we do live on 8 acres so they are not restricted a lot

2:42 am

jillibus

Have a look at this: http://tinyurl.com/y2ujv2a

2:46 am

sandyloo

is it the brits got talent site and which one ?

2:47 am

sandyloo

i know the dancing dogs!

2:47 am

jillibus

didn't you watch the clip?

2:48 am

sandyloo

just did, fantastic isn't it?

2:49 am

jillibus

Talk about well trained! I think the dog is an Aussie, isn't she?

2:50 am

sandyloo

not sure , im off the site now

2:50 am

jillibus

or part Aussie

2:51 am

jillibus

never mind -- anyway, I have to go to bed -- what time is it in Perth?

2:51 am

Douglas

Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me

2:51 am

jillibus

poor doug!

2:52 am

sandyloo

dont think I can see those ion words doug

2:52 am

sandyloo

yes! just found one

2:53 am

Douglas

Here's a slightly more detailed hint: in one word, ion is a prefix, in the other, it's a suffix

2:53 am

sandyloo

got the suffix one

2:54 am

Douglas

I was using the Boss to clue a word, jilli...I'm ok...

2:55 am

Douglas

There are two words at least where a UK spelling is used, I think

2:55 am

jillibus

Sorry, Doug, I'm not up on Springsteen songs.

2:56 am

jillibus

Sandy, I see it's 3:56 pm in Perth -- it's 12:56 am here so bedtime -- good afternoon/night all!

2:57 am

Douglas

It's a great song...on further review, I wish he had performed it at the Super Bowl, but I didn't feel deprived at the time that he didn't

2:57 am

jillibus

UK endings, yes

2:58 am

jillibus

And now *poof*

2:58 am

3:24 am

lynxxx

3:24 am

FMitch

Guess I had better get on and do some work :( but will be lurking too :)

4:03 am

4:12 am

lynxxx

a round 25 left for the morning. Bye Sprite - have a good day!

4:12 am

sprite

nice job, lyn, have a grand evening

4:20 am

rubyfoo

hi, back, dressed, cleaned up kitchen, unloaded groceries, tried to photograph "mystery" tulips and a few minutes to try to reach half :(

4:20 am

sprite

why the sad face, rubyfoo? Sounds like a productive morning.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

but very poor at the grid; I think my mind isn't on it these last two days or else the grids are getting harder

4:22 am

sprite

yesterday's wasn't easy on relatively 'new' babblers. Today's starts easy enough but really gets harder later on.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

however, it's nice to have the studio open to the garden and hear the birds

4:24 am

sprite

I hope you are open to finding french words, there are some in this grid!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

you're kidding! I'll have to look

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby, hi sprite!

4:25 am

sprite

let me know if you would like clues :)

4:25 am

rubyfoo

hi sally. Sprite just told me there are French words; you'd think I would spot them tout de suite!

4:25 am

sprite

hey Sally :)

4:26 am

Sally-catlover

There are? I have 34 to find, not sure if I already have any French ones.

4:26 am

Sally-catlover

Ah yes, I see the stars!

4:27 am

rubyfoo

I wd never have seen them, thank you

4:27 am

sprite

yay ! Two down then. At least 2 more to find, and maybe a 3rd.

4:27 am

sprite

oh and drop the first letter of the stars

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

Quite common in babble. I also have one which I know as a kind of lettuce.

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

Done that, thanks sprite :-) Also have the cake.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

now I'm over half with thanks to my friends!

4:29 am

rubyfoo

and then the big river, NOT!

4:29 am

sprite

party and lord are in too

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

Hee, hee, I see my lettuce is /not/ the dictionary definition.

4:29 am

sprite

lol no, the river will not work. Capitalised. Very frustrating with it so prominent

4:30 am

redturtlehead

good morning all. Question for you all.

4:30 am

sprite

hi red

4:30 am

rubyfoo

??

4:31 am

redturtlehead

I had an MD appointment this morning at 7:30 not my regular doc but the one I see for my foot. its 1 hour away.

4:31 am

Sally-catlover

ty for the lord, sprite. Didn't think of the party word being French, because we use it quite a bit in English.

4:31 am

redturtlehead

I woke up today with a ton of vomiting etc, and I feel terrible, dont want to drive, but the MD is making a special trip in to see me, as its his vacation....

4:32 am

redturtlehead

soooo...do I cancel, as I really am feeling the worst I have in years? Or try to do the drive...

4:32 am

rubyfoo

that's terrible, red!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

is it difficult roads?

4:32 am

Sally-catlover

Hi red. Could someone else drive you?

4:32 am

Sally-catlover

Postman, brb

4:32 am

redturtlehead

No Sally only th dog!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't take an autoroute!

4:32 am

sprite

either have somebody drive you, red, or cancel. No driving when sick. And please be gentle with yourself.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

you need to be on a road where you could pull over to throw up

4:33 am

redturtlehead

Al I want to do is sleep, that patient that gaveme this gave it to me good.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

is it flu?

4:33 am

sprite

if you don't need treatment for this vomiting business, go to bed and get that sleep, red. You know as a pro that sleep is the best healer and your body knows it too.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure the MD would understand; he wouldn't want to catch it either and spoil his holiday. Can you reach him on his cell?

4:34 am

redturtlehead

I think it is a stomach virus, it seems to be going around. I've had a ton of patients with it this week, all feeling lousy, now I see why...

4:34 am

redturtlehead

I can, but, its 5:30 in the am here. Appointment is at 7:30. I always wonder how early do I call. I may just go. If I can swallow this medicine, at least I can get rid of fever.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

wait an hour and call him; I would think he'd appreciate being warned

4:35 am

sprite

call, darling. The man is a doctor, he is used to being called early. I bet he prefers being called early to getting there for nothing.

4:35 am

redturtlehead

yes, then he wont have to get up at all. Or I may try to tough it out, sort of hard to get an appt with him.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

or catching the dreaded stomach virus!

4:36 am

rubyfoo

unis

4:36 am

redturtlehead

yes, no one wants this...

4:36 am

rubyfoo

must go, see you after lunch. Feel better, Red!

4:37 am

sprite

you will get a new appointment. Advise yourself like you would advise a patient in similar conditions. Call and go to sleep :)

4:37 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo

4:37 am

redturtlehead

I am going to go sleep for one more hour.

4:37 am

redturtlehead

thank you all for the logic.

4:37 am

sprite

very hard to be logical when sick. Get better soon, red, and be nice to yourself.

4:37 am

redturtlehead

TY all. It shall pass soon I hope.

4:38 am

sprite

I hope so too

4:45 am

sprite

fireflies. Bye all.

Hi everyone!

5:17 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, Brooke, and anyone still here.

5:17 am

Brookie

Good morning scrabbler!

5:17 am

Brookie

This grid is a tad more promising than yesterday's!

5:18 am

Scrabbler

I woke up and hoped I had another few hours to sleep but it was 5 minutes before the alarm would go off.

5:19 am

Scrabbler

I finished yesterday's in 15 min.

5:19 am

Brookie

At least you woke up on your own volition and not at the prodding of an alarm clock.

5:19 am

Brookie

Congrats on finishing yesterday's so quickly!

5:19 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that was good. I don't like having a good dream ended with beeping.

5:20 am

Scrabbler

I signed on last night just to check the grid and say hello. With 41 words I decided to use the list and finish.

5:20 am

Brookie

Unless you can incorporate the beeping into your dream.

5:21 am

Scrabbler

And sometimes I do.

5:21 am

Scrabbler

Are your kids still sleeping?

5:21 am

Brookie

Gotta go now. Have a wonderful day!

5:21 am

Brookie

Ooh, sorry, I didn't see your question...

5:22 am

Scrabbler

Bye Brooke.

5:22 am

Brookie

My 8 year old is with his father right now, and my 2 year old is awake but talking to himself happily.

5:22 am

Scrabbler

Cute--hearing toddlers amuse themselves.

5:23 am

Brookie

Going for real now. Happy babbling, Scrabbler! (poof!)

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Hello Ruby

6:17 am

rubyfoo

This ONLY thing I'm afraid of is worms.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Hi scrabbler; all this talk of marine worms has made meshuddery

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I am not afraid of worms but they gross me out.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

the, not this*

6:18 am

bichon

Worms are our friends, if you're a gardener

6:18 am

Scrabbler

They do help the soil--they make soil.

6:18 am

bichon

I have thousands of wrigglers in my compost turning waste into glorious compost

6:18 am

rubyfoo

OK, I don't mind earthworms in the garden, it's the maggots or others inside that spook me.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I'd rather see a 10 ft Burmese python!

6:19 am

bichon

Maggots, ugh. Disco dancers

6:19 am

rubyfoo

than a maggot in the trash or is a cauliflower!

6:19 am

bichon

But doctors use maggots to clean up rotting flesh

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I know; they'd have to sedate me VERY heavily\

6:20 am

rubyfoo

in a cauliflower. Typing is poopy today

6:21 am

bichon

this grid is twice as large as yesterday's and just as difficult

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I have found 43 so far.

6:22 am

rubyfoo

yes, I am looking forward to the next big one. Even though I almost never finish, at least the big ones are fun to do

6:22 am

bichon

I have 14 and am struggling

6:22 am

rubyfoo

I worked on this for more than an hour when I got up and got 56, but it's fini for me, I fear!

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Gotta get ready for work. Bye.

6:27 am

gramma

I went to Lickety's and been clicking along. 28 left

I've been monkeying sort of at random, and have gotten a couple more

6:28 am

rubyfoo

dumb words, though

6:31 am

gramma

I love when you hit the little question mark and it comes up ...Did you mean..? no definition

6:31 am

rubyfoo

lol

6:32 am

rubyfoo

I left my husband a note this AM and said lol; he though I meant lots of luck....

6:33 am

gramma

That's great. There is someone out there as dense as me.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I guess it's a generational thing....LOL

6:36 am

Any clues for the re7?

10:07 am

Haz1558

350.000

10:07 am

FMitch

HAte to think! How much has he spent?

10:07 am

Atalante

in which currency? lire?

10:07 am

Atalante

Â£1700

10:08 am

FMitch

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:08 am

Haz1558

You'll have lovely soft water for that price.

10:08 am

Haz1558

(I'm typing on autopilot, I've fainted)

10:08 am

Atalante

better do!!!

10:08 am

FMitch

good lord!

10:09 am

Haz1558

Had you perceived a huge problem with your water up to now?

10:09 am

FMitch

They must love it when D goes shopping at the local shops .

10:09 am

Atalante

well, we *do* have hard water, but ....

10:10 am

Haz1558

And this is from the man who tries to cut his own hair to save money.

10:10 am

FMitch

I am flabbergasted.

10:10 am

Atalante

I know ........

10:11 am

Haz1558

He must have had a lot of dodgy haircuts to be able to save up enough money for soft water.

10:11 am

Haz1558

And Hobbit being shorn like a sheep - all for the soft water fund.

10:11 am

Atalante

yep *sigh* idiot man

10:13 am

Atalante

I nearly fainted

10:13 am

Haz1558

Is the deed done? Is it bought already?

10:14 am

Atalante

yes!!

10:14 am

Haz1558

No 14 day cooling off period or anything - the think again clause?

10:14 am

FMitch

"Shaun the Sheep" now there is a funny prog (Train of thought)!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Agreed, FM. I think Aardman are geniuseseseses.

10:15 am

guernseygirl

so tell us more, Ata

10:19 am

FMitch

am going back to bed for a bit not feeling too good today, want to snooze a bit more so TTFN.

10:19 am

Atalante

I don't kiss and tell, unlike Haz

10:19 am

Haz1558

Oooh! He seems like a nice man. I warmed to him when the studios burned down, they lost lots of stuff, but he refused to call it a tragedy because there was a cyclone or something happening at the time and people had been killed.

10:20 am

Haz1558

Bye, FM - sorry you're not feeling so good!

10:20 am

Atalante

awww feel better!

10:20 am

guernseygirl

he seems to have his feet on the ground

10:21 am

Haz1558

And their stuff is just so funny and clever on all sorts of levels.

10:21 am

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* -- thanks for the help )

10:21 am

Atalante

he is, he's lovely

10:21 am

Haz1558

Well done, cybernan!

10:21 am

guernseygirl

i love the allusions to other films.

10:21 am

guernseygirl

hoooooooooraaaaaaaaaay for nan

10:22 am

cybernan

I'm almost afraid to say it, but summer is here -- off to wash the front windows and hose down the sunscreens -- back at the flip :)

10:23 am

Bye, cybernan.

10:23 am

guernseygirl

a cousin of mine made all the baby chickens for Chicken Run

10:23 am

Haz1558

I bet Nick Park wouldn't spend Â£1700 on a water softener.

10:24 am

Atalante

i bet he wouldn't!

10:24 am

hurshy

this isn't the MOST friendly grid ever, is it?

10:25 am

guernseygirl

the people are. the grid isn't

10:25 am

Haz1558

Not the friendliest, no. But lots of babblets.

10:25 am

Haz1558

And hello!

10:26 am

hurshy

hello :)

10:26 am

hurshy

i have been revolutionizing my life

10:26 am

guernseygirl

i've just monkeyed the weirdest mathematical term. hello hurshy

10:26 am

Haz1558

You've installed a water softener as well?

10:26 am

hurshy

no, i have city water, it's already soft.

10:27 am

hurshy

which is too bad, i like the flavor of nice mineral-y water much better

10:27 am

Haz1558

Yes, soft water might be okay to bathe in and wash with but it tastes decidedly bad.

10:28 am

Haz1558

So, what revolution has taken place?

10:28 am

hurshy

well first off i've been using the wii fit every day before work (and often after, and lots on weekends!)

10:28 am

Haz1558

So you're now fit, toned and healthy?

10:29 am

hurshy

AND i've revamped my office setup to have a standing desk. i'm going to get a bar stool to alternate, because apparently standing all day is only better for you than sitting all day - switching it up is the best

10:30 am

Haz1558

You've taken all the tales of babble butt to heart, haven't you?

10:30 am

hurshy

i decided not to wait until the trend sweeps the nation, but to be at the forefront

10:30 am

Boobear

clue for ge 7 pls

10:30 am

hurshy

not so much the tales of babble butt, more the NY Times articles

10:30 am

guernseygirl

babble-butt! oh, no. no one told me

10:30 am

Haz1558

ge7 - ge plus unwelcome sound

10:30 am

guernseygirl

ge+sound

10:31 am

Haz1558

Babble butt - the scourge of the age.

10:31 am

guernseygirl

i've already got babble-neck

10:31 am

Haz1558

I've seen those chairs that you kind of balance on. Is a standing desk supposed to be even better for you?

10:32 am

hurshy

both are better alternatives than regular sitting, that's all i know

10:32 am

hurshy

anything that has you moving around, using muscles, anything like that.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Babble butt - steadily increasing width of posterior due to lengthy sessions of sitting in front of computer screen. Doctors are fighting to find the definitive cure.

10:33 am

guernseygirl

i bet they're not

10:33 am

Haz1558

Oh, indeed they are. They're trying to see if the posterior can be shifted to other areas where more inches might be needed.

10:34 am

hurshy

it is pretty cool, just this morning i started with the standing and i can dance around a little, step back and stretch - it's much more conducive to doing whatever

10:34 am

guernseygirl

nowhere on my body needs more inches

10:34 am

Haz1558

Then you can donate it to the blubber bank. It will be used as a source of renewable energy.

10:35 am

Barb's Horses

hello all another rainy day here in Maple Ridge

10:35 am

guernseygirl

if only that were possible, Haz, i'd be down there like a shot

10:35 am

Haz1558

And are you still feeling comfortable, hurshy? See how you feel at the end of the day, but it sounds like a good idea.

10:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, Barb.

10:36 am

guernseygirl

hello Barb. bad luck about the weather. the last person from Canada was having a lovely sunny day

10:36 am

hurshy

right now, i'm not very comfortable, partly because i had to lift and move things in order to arrange my new setup, and partly because i'm not used to it. i'm going out to buy a stool for back-and-forth at lunchtime.

10:36 am

Ogdens Nut

hello chatters, this game seems like fun?

10:36 am

Rhondabe

can anyone help me with ho7 please

10:36 am

hurshy

because of course, just standing can be hard on the feet.

10:37 am

Barb's Horses

It is suppose to stop by the afternoon and we are to have sunny/cloudy weather all weekend ...which will be very nice

10:37 am

Haz1558

ho7 - ho plus what Pavarotti replied when someone asked him what he did for a living.

10:37 am

hurshy

heehee, lovely clue

10:37 am

guernseygirl

guernseygirl

could anyone clue me si5.12, please?

10:38 am

hurshy

is there something particular you need to tell him?

10:38 am

Haz1558

si5/12 - the latter part of the word when addressing a French Mr.

10:38 am

guernseygirl

ty Haz

10:39 am

Atalante

that I am somewhat less than amused with him

10:39 am

guernseygirl

Ogden. where is your icon from?

10:39 am

hurshy

but not, like, i'm leaving tomorrow, or anything

10:40 am

10:43 am

guernseygirl

moi, je ne regrette rien.............

10:44 am

hurshy

people always admire that whole "no regrets" thing, but i think it's hardly possible unless you just don't care much about stuff.

10:44 am

Ogdens Nut

I registered a long time ago, but never got around to playing, due to time pressure, Haz

10:44 am

guernseygirl

you're right, hurshy. if you never regret anything, you're probably a psychopath

10:45 am

Haz1558

Fair enough, Ogden. It does take up a bit of time, but it's a very enjoyable game.

10:46 am

guernseygirl

only got four left. can anyone help me with li5/10 and 6/21?

10:46 am

hurshy

to err is human, to regret is fine.

10:47 am

Haz1558

Right, I'd better get <--------Spangle saddled up and ready for a walk, otherwise, I know I'll regret it.... That proves I'm not a psychopath.

10:47 am

Had seven years of hebrew classes as a kid (as opposed to zero yiddish classes, but my parents did speak it when they wanted to talk about us kids when we were in the room, so I picked up a few bits and bobs)

I-Mac

That's a shame.

why do you hate to admit that, red?

4:46 pm

stidmama

Tom says that Kaopectate is useless to him since the took the kaolin out of it

4:50 pm

redturtlehead

well, it does taste baaad.

4:51 pm

I-Mac

Kaolin and pectin work well in combination. Apples help too, because of the pectin.

4:51 pm

stidmama

I am the same way as tom, seain -- not only that, they added something I am allergic too...

4:51 pm

You're from London too, Pinny?

4:54 pm

PinnyPoppins

4:54 pm

dcseain

it is a bit pricy, though, as they need to order the kaolin usually.

4:54 pm

I-Mac

I have a flat in Wandsworth, work in Chelsea.

4:54 pm

dcseain

refills are usually cheaper, as they have the kaolin in stock then

4:54 pm

I'm in advertising. An account director for an ad firm.

I'm not allowing myself to monkey anymore, and only allowed to peek at the list when I've found a minimum of 75% of the words myself - this is Babble EXTREME!

4:59 pm

stidmama

yes, it's not a lot of fun, and it started like a little one, so completely not prepared. But I have an "easy" day tomorrow (working with 8th graders which is fun)

We have a wonderful free telephone service here called Nurses On Line, that is terrific when you are not sure if you should see a doctor or go to hospital. And of course a poisons hot line

our budget was defeated... so more cuts will have to be made, more drastic.. maybe switching from full day kindergarten to half day. bad for me, particularly, since if extra $$ come into the district, it will go for that now and not for me

Barb's Horses

hi bugs

7:31 pm

Dorens

a joke... some prayer that said (in not so many words) they wished christie dead. bad joke, but I think it had been circulated earlier about Obama. And Christie is insisting that the person who put it out be fired!

7:31 pm

gapeach

ni5-10 please.....thanks

teachers...that was erroneous and inflammatory?

Good Enough

i'm waiting too peach, only 2 left

7:32 pm

Dorens

unfortunaely it came from the head of the Bergen County Education Association. He has apologized and said it was in poor taste and a mistake. And Christie wants him fired... could you imagine if obama were that thin-skinned, and dictatorial?

i really don't know any more about it than i heard last night, which is why i asked. i just know folks are up in arms about the cost of education, here there are generational wars at council meetings.

7:34 pm

Barb's Horses

hi mom bye mom

7:34 pm

Riverdance

oh leaving already

7:35 pm

Dorens

down to 16 and time to list. .. costs of everything are a problem, and money is tight for lots of folks, but drastic cuts to the schools is not the solution! the future is at stake.. things in schools are bad enough these days.. this is cutting it off at the knees

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i msut say, here it goes beyond being competitive and prepared for a job. it's about who has the most bells and whistles. And still, johnny can't read.

7:36 pm

Boobear

Hi Momneedshelp and Dorens

7:36 pm

Riverdance

I absolutely agree - our schools cut special programs last year so my son now will not be able to take a language in middle school. My daughter had already finished freshman french when she graduated 8th grade. All the extras that are vitally important are being cut - so sad for our kids. And I dont know the half of it......

8:12 pm

why won't it accept "frisee"?

8:16 pm

Maybe because there's only one vowel at the end of the word?

that works for me - thanks Owl & Jac

8:17 pm

Hi all. I've been playing Word Tornado in FB and getting sad at how many who play don't bother to chat. (Sez she, who often doesn't chat in Bable these days 'cos she's busy gardening).

8:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

neverplayed that

8:18 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Jacula. I am hoping all the gardeners here will recommend a colour theme for a rhodo garden I am planning.

8:18 pm

Jacula

TO - don't bother unless you just want to compete at a word game and not get to know anyone. Any player that has taken the time to talk to me, I have puit on my Buddy List there.

I stop by a few places now and then to find out what I have been up to ... I generally am quite pleased to find out I have been good, bad or indifferent ... saves a lot of typing on my part. Even so, I am concerned about amnesia because I do not recall most of what I am accused of.

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

They love it here too but there are so many shades and sizes. I was thinking red, white and something. Pink would be good

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

BR the reason you don't remember is because your intention was not to offend. Nothing to worry about if the problem is with the receiver and they won't talk to you about it straight away

8:25 pm

Jacula

Babrab - that happens to me, too. Got a bit a deja vu this week with someone who I was surprised had requested me as an FB friend, since we had disagreed so much on another internet site. She's a self-professed Christian who seems to revel in taking offence at what people say, whether she sees it as a slight against herself or others. No wonder reliigion has caused so many wars if many are like her!

8:26 pm

lynxxx

Are you serious BR? or just got too much in your head and forgetting what is not important (that is my story and I am sticking to it!)

8:27 pm

Jacula

I tihink BR is serious, but only because it's what I do, too.

8:28 pm

Congrats, Boobear.

8:29 pm

I can't stand so-called Christians who seem to fight the good fight at every opportunity. don't accept explantions or even apologies or a plain sorry without some mealy-mouthed thing about 'thank you all for your messages of support and I course I understand what you were trying to say'.

8:30 pm

Boobear

ty BR ..have a goodnite all

8:30 pm

Bugsaw

there are extremists in every faith Jac.

8:30 pm

Bugsaw

I wonder what they would do if you told them you were praying for them?

8:30 pm

Jacula

It reminds me of the mad woman from the film 'The Mist'.

8:31 pm

Bugsaw

don't know that one Jac

8:32 pm

Jacula

Bug - that is certainly so. An Islamic extremist minister apparently told his flockthis week that 'loose women, who wear skimpy clothes are to blame for earthquakes'.

One of my old schoolfriends, who is a university professor, sent that to me a couple of days ago. Her take on it was 'Can we have a headline tomorrow that mad Islamic priests cause earthquakes'?

8:34 pm

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

chicken ws too tough to eat. not overcooked, just tough.

8:46 pm

Jacula

I've just realised that even my Mum never made me a birthday cake. I know both of my Godmothers did once each. My Mum did try to get me a cake for my 18th birthday, and succeeded getting it home from the bakers she'd ordered it from in the end after a dental appointment where she had to have an eye tooth extracted and it made her faint and feel woozy afterwards. She ddid her best.

8:47 pm

Mom

oh Jacula :(

8:47 pm

Bugsaw

Jac that is the saddest story I ever heard! How were birthdays celebrated in your family? We always got cake

8:48 pm

Jacula

TO - was it a birthday with an'0' or a '5' at the end? Both are quite 'nasty'.

8:50 pm

Jacula

I honestl;y don't really recall, Bug. I think both of my Godmothers did the parties. I know my Mum only did onem and she didn't wwant me to invite any boys. I invited two and one was a 'bad boy'. There were no more 'parties' at our house after that.

8:51 pm

Bugsaw

We didn't get birthday parties much but we did get a cake at the family meal

8:52 pm

Jacula

I'd forgotten all of that until just now, and now I understand why I need to relax and enjoy my stepdaughter. 2nd chance daughter.

8:54 pm

Jacula

I love my own daughter more than I can say, but, given what she's been through in the past, she's more generous to friends who need parties. I'm just her Mum; a constant in her life that she probably takes for granted.

8:54 pm

Bugsaw

when my kids were little they wanted cakes that looked like something so I had fun making whatever they requested. I have made race cars, penguins, pigs, dumptrucks filled with candies, tug boats etc. I loved doing it and just this month I was requested by a grandchild to make her a monkey cake. Now all the siblings want to know why their Dad never told them I had this useless (but fun) talent.

8:54 pm

Jacula

Ditto for my son - but that's a male thing he takes after his father from - woman = food.

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

I am so glad you found the good thing in this memory coming to the surface. I honestly believe that we are only allowed to remember things when we have the strength to deal with it.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Just had a message from our next-door neighbour of 40 years ago wishing me a happy birthday. She reminded me about the cake she made for me.

8:56 pm

Bugsaw

Your daughter may think you party with people your own age the way she does. I never considered my parents might have wanted parties until they were too old to argue with.

8:57 pm

Mom

off I go to bed. I hope to see all of you tomorrow. {{{Hugs}}}, you all are so special to me

8:57 pm

Jacula

Thanks Jellen.

9:02 pm

Bugsaw

9:02 pm

Jacula

It's not for about another hour and 10 mins yet. I am hanging on to being 52 for as long as I can. LOL.

9:03 pm

Jacula

Bug - she didn't. She just sent me an e mail about an old birthday party I once had.

9:03 pm

Jacula

That then reminded me.

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

Oh! The timing was just so perfect!

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

I must pay attention to finding words again. Thanks for the chat everyone.

9:04 pm

Jacula

It was! Her email was sent at about 10.30pm UK time, but I only picked it up just now.

9:06 pm

Jacula

Ask for clues if you need them. I'm here to clue.

9:06 pm

Bugsaw

9:08 pm

Jellen

Odd word...thanks, Jac!

9:08 pm

Jacula

Sorry! I didn't mean to give such an easy clue. I was multi-tasking.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Bug - it is in Uni life, which I live woth my two kids.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Or even with.

9:09 pm

Bugsaw

I needed a clue that easy! It still took 3 tries

9:09 pm

9:10 pm

9:11 pm

Jacula

I was at school with a girl called Christine Goodenough. We all felt inferior. LOL

9:12 pm

Good Enough

oh how funny Jac

9:12 pm

Jacula

And now, in our road, my kids had to contend with A Goodchild and The Good Family as well.

9:14 pm

Good Enough

We have a family on our block last name Best - tell that to the Good family :)

9:15 pm

Jacula

No wonder my son once tied two members of another equally saintly named family to the tree outside our house, 'injun fashion'. When their Dad turned up at the door to complain, I could hardly contain my laughter.

9:15 pm

Good Enough

lol

9:16 pm

Bugsaw

ROFL !!!

9:16 pm

jmbdobie2

9...

9:16 pm

Jacula

Obviously, I had to tell them off in front of him. But I don't think my telling off was maintained when I sank to the floor breathless from laughing once I'd shut the front door.:-(

9:19 pm

Good Enough

go jmb!

9:19 pm

Jacula

They were wimpy kids that cried at the drop of a hat. Even their own Mum thought they were wimpy. It was just their fat business cat Dad who didn't think that on the odd occasions that he was around.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Keep going jmb.

9:25 pm

Jacula

I wonder though, has she ever heard of Derek and The Dominos (Eric Clapton in disguise)?

9:25 pm

Bugsaw

10:09 pm

Pinikula

er, rather, turkey breasts and legs are commonly sold separately from the whole bird. ;)

10:09 pm

stidmama

I recommend turkey breast too, Min. Much quicker. A butcher at the meat counter of the store could tell you the amount you will need

10:10 pm

Minveryork

Can you buy it frozen like chicken breasts Pinikula? I know these are very STUPID questions. I do not cook

10:10 pm

stidmama

in Washington state, probably Olympia, possibly Seattle. interested?

10:10 pm

Pinikula

I'm not sure, min...I'd simply look in the meat section or ask the butcher behind the counter...I'm sure they can direct you to some...

10:10 pm

stidmama

I think you can get them frozen, Min -- and these are GOOD questions! A lot of people wouldn't think to ask them.

10:11 pm

Pinikula

(I only know the "separate" part because I once had "Thanksgiving in a Box")

10:11 pm

stidmama

If you buy them fresh pini, you can freeze them, too.

Pinikula

Congratulations!

10:19 pm

Pinikula

(it can be very annoying when text is delayed...kinda makes me look like I don't know what a dishwasher is)

10:19 pm

Jellen

I'm most excited about it...the current one is 15 years old...

10:19 pm

Pinikula

ooooh, a new toy!!!!

10:19 pm

Pinikula

lots of bells and whistles?

10:19 pm

Jellen

lol

10:19 pm

Jellen

I don't know...Tim picked it out!

10:20 pm

Jellen

10:20 pm

Pinikula

guess you'll be busy reading for awhile!

10:21 pm

Jellen

I'm not too good about reading manuals...

10:21 pm

Pinikula

me either...I'd rather push all the buttons and see what they do!

10:22 pm

Ormal

congrats Jellen.

10:23 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Ormal...we are also getting a sink delivered that will end up at the store...

10:25 pm

Ormal

I got a new washer and dryer last year and I was SOOOO excited because my husband got really excited and did all the laundry for a month. It was great!

10:25 pm

Pinikula

the novelty wore off quickly!

10:26 pm

Ormal

indeed but it was a good month for me as there are 6 of us in the house and a LOT of laundry

10:26 pm

Pinikula

no doubt!

10:26 pm

Jellen

We got a washer and dryer last year...that's my primary responsibility...

10:27 pm

Jellen

Although I tend to slack until I'm running low on underclothes...

10:27 pm

Ormal

I don't mind washing, drying, folding, but I despise putting laundry away. Isn't that dumb?

10:27 pm

Pinikula

I'll fold and put away...hate the rest...

10:27 pm

Pinikula

I don't have much patience to wait

10:28 pm

Jellen

I'm the same way, Ormal!

10:29 pm

Ormal

I do the other 9 million chores while I wait for the laundry to be done. Today I managed to clean the bathroom, clean the kitchen, scrub the floor, play the whole round of Babble, make dinner, and bore my kids with inane chat, all while waiting for more laundry to be done. LOL

10:29 pm

Jellen

Goodness!

10:29 pm

Pinikula

I'd like to know what time to expect you, Ormal...

10:30 pm

Ormal

LOL!!

10:30 pm

Pinikula

can't blame me for trying! LOL

10:32 pm

Ormal

not at all. :D

10:32 pm

Pinikula

My housekeepers moved out when they turned 'of age'...

10:34 pm

Ormal

Mine act like forced labor is NOT a ritual that should be involved in their rearing.

10:34 pm

Ormal

:O

10:34 pm

Jellen

I wish I'd had more chores growing up...I'd have better habits now...

10:35 pm

Pinikula

Mine did, too, Ormal...they learned...too bad they grew up enough to move out!

10:36 pm

Ormal

I teach mine a little of everything: trash, laundry, dishes, cooking, BASIC car maintenence and home repair, lawn care. They'll have to know it when they go out on their own...

10:37 pm

Ormal

Jellen, I despise chores and tend to let them stack up and do most of it in one day. I had to do lots of chores growing up, and it didn't make my grown up habits any better.
