12:21 am

joshuavorbis

my final destination is ending up in toronto in time for the film festival in september

12:21 am

12:21 am

joshuavorbis

and i am moving, incidentally

12:22 am

jillibus

to where, josh?

12:22 am

westford

12:22 am

joshuavorbis

to toronto

12:22 am

gremlinn

but then the destination is home anyway

12:22 am

joshuavorbis

i am a nomad at heart, so in essence traveling is home for me

12:23 am

westford

does that mean you have a new job?

12:23 am

jillibus

oh you poor thing, josh (spoken as an ex-Montrealer)

12:23 am

westford

12:23 am

joshuavorbis

joshuavorbis

12:24 am

jillibus

long time rivalry, west, lol ;)

12:25 am

westford

12:49 am

flosey

lol, west - don't do everything everyone tells you!!

12:50 am

westford

now I can get a patch and talk like a pirate arrr

12:50 am

Douglas

If George told you to jump off a bridge, would you do that?!?

12:51 am

jillibus

this grid is shaping up to be the kind I can't be bothered with, full of useless words

12:51 am

westford

I would.

12:51 am

flosey

starting to feel that way too jilli

12:51 am

westford

but only with a bungee cord

12:51 am

flosey

oh west, really?

12:52 am

westford

I believe any grid that has 16 k words starts out badly

12:52 am

westford

no flosey not really at all lol

12:52 am

westford

I get nervous on a step stool

12:52 am

sandyloo

there are lots of words containing the k , I am surprised

12:52 am

flosey

but the k words came easily, only missing 1

12:53 am

westford

good job flosey I have 8

12:53 am

Douglas

Requesting stats for the southeast o, the word that will get me to halfway and nbt simultaneously!

12:53 am

jillibus

well, west, this one only has 15 K words so you can relax, lol!

12:53 am

gremlinn

12:54 am

12:54 am

jillibus

oe8/40, doug

12:54 am

flosey

on4/4

12:54 am

westford

jilli I don't know 15 k words

12:54 am

flosey

no, sorry, that's the other o

12:54 am

Douglas

thanks grem

12:54 am

jillibus

oh, sorry, that was SW

12:54 am

gremlinn

haha, three different answers - take your pick

12:55 am

flosey

the oo4 was the right one

12:55 am

jillibus

I don't think I do either, west

12:55 am

westford

who knows directions..I thought you meant the righthand corner

12:55 am

westford

well good for me lol

12:55 am

gremlinn

right-hand is SE, yes

12:56 am

westford

what about Australia grem

12:56 am

gremlinn

was there someone who wanted to suggest a "rotate board" feature? Think about the confusion THAT would cause

12:56 am

Douglas

good night all...happy Babbling *poof*

12:57 am

westford

good night doug pleasant dreams

12:57 am

jillibus

grem, the new grid will have that

12:57 am

flosey

good night Douglas

12:57 am

jillibus

night, doug!

12:57 am

westford

it was very helpful in tangle grem

12:57 am

westford

but wouldn't be so helpful trying to clue

12:57 am

gremlinn

I always found it useless in sites that had it

12:57 am

gremlinn

after all, it's by studying a single orientation long enough that my brain finds the deeper patterns

12:58 am

westford

I have nbt I've had it for awhile just didn't realize it

12:58 am

jillibus

wtg west

12:59 am

westford

thanks jilli

12:59 am

westford

are you going to leave your brain to the Babble Institute Grem?

1:00 am

gremlinn

maybe start a theme park called Boggleland.

1:00 am

westford

that would be great

1:00 am

dcseain

i like moving the board -- it lets me see different patterns from the different angles

1:01 am

gremlinn

one of the animal mascots would be a tsetse fly

1:01 am

gremlinn

dcs: I would think perhaps that different people's brains learn different ways of playing the game, maybe

1:01 am

flosey

ah, just remembered another silly babblet, to5/10

1:01 am

westford

and don't forget inia

1:02 am

gremlinn

if I rotate, I may as well be starting over

1:02 am

dcseain

right, different strokes...

1:03 am

jillibus

If I rotate I get dizzy

1:04 am

gremlinn

another thing I've noticed is that when I go from one Boggle site to another, I'm less good at playing for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, if the size or spacing of the letters is different on the new site

1:04 am

jillibus

do you play these games all day, grem?

1:04 am

gremlinn

that's one of the worst aspects of Tangleword, the HUGE letter tiles

1:05 am

gremlinn

I did for a couple hours today, but usually these days I just have my 20 minutes of Babble.

1:07 am

gremlinn

it's probably been a couple years at least since I did anything but this or Wordsplay, too

1:07 am

anike

fireworks

1:08 am

westford

yay anike!!

1:08 am

flosey

1:08 am

westford

1:09 am

anike

TY. Back to the grindstone. Have a good day everyone

1:09 am

jillibus

YAY anike!!!

1:10 am

jillibus

we're beginning to need rain here

1:11 am

gremlinn

4 more months until the next rain here, probably

1:12 am

flosey

yes, jilli, gardens need rain soon

1:12 am

westford

it did manage to rain the morning our daughter got married in October but cleared up by afternoon..good thing too she was married on the beach

1:13 am

westford

in Del Mar

1:13 am

dcseain

we used to get daily rain in the Summers, but the last man summers have been drier, w/out the daily thunderstorms

1:13 am

jillibus

(I keep having to take a coughing break)

1:13 am

westford

allergies jilli?

1:13 am

flosey

that cough still lingering, jilli

1:14 am

gremlinn

Man summers - when it rains, it rains beer.

1:14 am

jillibus

no, west, leftovers from a cold which started on June 24. I'm thoroughly fed up with it.

jillibus

Well, he's funny, George.

1:40 am

rururocks

Mmm, sandy -- would you popover and make some for me?

2:23 am

jillibus

2:34 am

Haz1558

sandyloo- I've made variations on a pavlova including cinnamon (great with strawberries) and a chocolate one with a layer of mars bars melted down with milk, spread over the pavlova before the cream layer. It was banned by the World Health Organisation.

jillibus

OK, sandy ;)

2:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all by the way.

Did most of yesterday's on the train!

2:59 am

Atalante

chasing pheasants through hedges

2:59 am

Haz1558

I wonder if the pheasants ended up with burrs on them?

2:59 am

Haz1558

Where were you going, Sally?

3:00 am

Atalante

noooo, they were generally in the air, or going through take-off!

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

Went to Bath for brother-in-law's birthday lunch, and printed grid before I went.

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

Thought it was a big grid but really easy.

3:02 am

Haz1558

It was a nice grid, you're right.

3:02 am

Sally-catlover

As opposed to today's, where I have one word which was clued just as I came on (the fo6).

3:03 am

Haz1558

Plural it...

3:03 am

Sally-catlover

Which gave me two more :-) Will wake up soon.

3:04 am

Atalante

15 Ks???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:05 am

Aaronitor

where do u get the clues from!

3:06 am

Haz1558

Under Friends of Babble - Lickety's babble clues.

3:08 am

Aaronitor

THANK YOU!

3:09 am

Haz1558

No problem.

3:09 am

Aaronitor

where do you live

3:09 am

Haz1558

Not relevant.

3:09 am

Atalante

strange placename

3:10 am

Aaronitor

I never meant it like that

3:10 am

Sally-catlover

You can tell from the flags which countries we all live in.

3:11 am

Aaronitor

i mean where abouts in the country

3:14 am

Aaronitor

bye bye im coming off for now

3:14 am

Atalante

you know all these searches the police are doing in Peter Tobin's old homes? What on earth happens to the people who live in the houses now/

3:14 am

Sally-catlover

Presumably they are given temp accommodation. I don't suppose they are thrown on the street.

3:15 am

Haz1558

I don't know, it can't be very pleasant.

3:15 am

Atalante

not at all!

3:15 am

Haz1558

It's not as if they'll just be doing a cursory search, they'll rip the places apart.

3:15 am

Sally-catlover

A very uncomfortable feeling though, having your garden dug up or whatever. Come to think of it, we could do with our garden being dug over ...

3:16 am

Atalante

and so unexpected, how on earth could you ever know such a thing before the police turned up

3:16 am

lynxxx

This sounds bad - another serial killer? Hello all

3:17 am

Haz1558

You'd be labelled hopelessly pessimistic if you started thinking 'I wonder if a serial killer ever lived here?'

3:17 am

Atalante

just an old one, in prison now

3:17 am

Haz1558

This is Peter Tobin, lynxxx, killed a number of girls that we know about, now they're searching for girls who have been missing.

3:17 am

Atalante

but the police had decided to check out all his old houses

3:18 am

Haz1558

Amd sadly, he seems to feel no re7/32, because he is refusing to help with enquiries.

3:19 am

Sally-catlover

ty for the re7!

3:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

3:19 am

lynxxx

yes - TY!

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

Already had the 5 following the re, but hadn't made the connection.

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

brb, have to go and pay delivery driver

3:21 am

Atalante

gah. snoek is a word. It is a fish

3:22 am

Haz1558

Oh, and Pavarotti extends - te8/40.

3:23 am

Atalante

he does indeed!

3:23 am

Atalante

needed for his girth

3:24 am

Haz1558

There was a really interesting programme about te6. I had no idea it was all so technical.

3:25 am

Atalante

wasn't that a great programme!

3:26 am

Haz1558

It really was. It's not just a case of opening your mouth, that's for sure. And that opera singer (can't remember his name) is so enthusiastic, it's great.

3:26 am

FMitch

Morning/evening all.

3:26 am

Atalante

wasn't convinced about the head voice / stomach voice thing!

3:26 am

Atalante

FM!!!

3:26 am

FMitch

phooey, phone, brb

3:26 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM!

3:27 am

Atalante

how is the great and glorious Spanglettina this morning?

3:27 am

Haz1558

No, I couldn't quite follow how they could switch within a note, but if they say that's how it works, well, it's even more miraculous.

3:27 am

Atalante

I know! I'd like to see a proper explanation of that, it's fascinating

3:28 am

Haz1558

Spangletinarina is fine, in good heart and voice.

3:28 am

Atalante

awwwww :)

3:28 am

FMitch

Back

3:29 am

Haz1558

I've been at performances of 'Messiah' where the alto part was sung by a man. It was slightly eery.

3:29 am

lynxxx

good morning FM

3:29 am

Atalante

HObbit was sleeping downstairs with husband last night - I banished him the other day cos he's refusing to wear his CPAP mask - and at 3:30, Hobbit wanted to go out. So instead of just taking her out, he marches her upstairs, wakes me up, and informs me that I have to take Hobbit out because his sleep is more important than mine!!

3:29 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx!

3:30 am

Haz1558

But he was awake anyway. Am I missing a step in logic somewhere?

3:30 am

FMitch

stupid hubby :(

3:30 am

lynxxx

silly man - he should have been lecturing Hobbit rather than you

3:30 am

Atalante

well that's what I told him, but ....

3:31 am

Atalante

was SO annoyed

3:31 am

FMitch

Have you tried sucky duck yet today Haz?

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

Back. Hi FM

3:32 am

Haz1558

No, not yet. What is it today?

3:32 am

FMitch

It has me stumped so far, thats what it is.

3:32 am

FMitch

D does not have a logical cell in his brain/body.

3:33 am

Haz1558

That bodes not well for the likes of me.

3:33 am

Sally-catlover

Dare I ask. What is sucky duck? (typing very carefully)

3:33 am

FMitch

Go on give it a go and solve it them you can feel vvv smug :)

3:33 am

FMitch

Sudoku Sally

3:33 am

Sally-catlover

ooohh, lol!!

3:33 am

Atalante

which is impressive for a mathematician

3:34 am

Haz1558

Have you been using greens or not?

3:34 am

FMitch

Sucky Duck is Haz's nickname for it.

3:34 am

FMitch

using greens :(

3:34 am

Haz1558

Goodness, it must be bad.

3:35 am

FMitch

mathematical logic is very different from everyday/living logic and he is a bloke so life is stacked against him.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Oh good, enable recognises the English bell-shakers.

3:35 am

Atalante

I have to try it now too!

3:36 am

FMitch

Don't mention bells, on Saturday the bells were ringing for an hour late morning so I had to close all the windows and it was 31degrees.
<----- was not a happy bunny.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Ata will probably do it in 2 minutes and be hopelessly smug for the rest of the day.

3:37 am

FMitch

probably

3:37 am

Haz1558

You'd have enjoyed the village during the war - no bell ringing allowed.

3:38 am

Atalante

I doubt it!!

3:38 am

9tanks

i need a clue

3:38 am

FMitch

I actually slept under the duvel last night for the first time in about a week.

3:39 am

FMitch

*duvet even.

3:39 am

Haz1558

For which word, 9tanks?

3:39 am

Atalante

me too :)

3:40 am

FMitch

Love the icon of Sily Ata, and whats with all the Bagpuss pics?

3:41 am

Atalante

I went to Canterbury Museum :)

3:41 am

FMitch

perhaps 9tanks needs a clue to remember how to play the game as we haven't seen him for a very long time.

3:41 am

FMitch

... and they have a Bagpuss section? how great!

3:42 am

Atalante

a Bagpuss museum!

3:42 am

FMitch

Oh how funny!

3:43 am

FMitch

Haz do you realise that next month it is 5 years of babbling?

3:43 am

Haz1558

I was thinking about that the other day. Where has the time gone?

3:44 am

Haz1558

How did I get through life not knowing about all these words?

3:44 am

Haz1558

Conversations about Madagascan hedgehogs were closed to me before.

3:44 am

Kallia

a tisket a tasket......good morning

3:45 am

FMitch

LOL me too.
Morning Kallia.

3:45 am

lynxxx

Haz1558

Hello, Kallia - I'm heading your direction tomorrow. Flying to Edinburgh tomorrow afternoon.

3:45 am

Haz1558

Hello, Kallia - I'm heading your direction tomorrow. Flying to Edinburgh tomorrow afternoon.

3:45 am

Haz1558

My wee finger had a spasm, sorry!

3:46 am

Kallia

3:46 am

Haz1558

Goodness, and there was me imagining you running through fields of heather in a kilt.

3:46 am

Kallia

LOL

3:47 am

FMitch

Not a million miles away from me then Kallia, Im in W Sussex.

3:47 am

Kallia

running nowhere these days

3:47 am

Haz1558

So, you're marooned in England? I'll tell Edinburgh you said hello.

3:47 am

Kallia

not too far FM

3:48 am

Kallia

yep, was kidnapped by a Scots hero, who then wanted to live in ENGLAND!

3:48 am

Haz1558

It must have been love to allow him to transport you away from the hills and glens (cue piper)

3:49 am

FMitch

Darn, must go have hair appt in 10 mins. Back in about 40 mins time. TTFN.

3:49 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

3:49 am

Kallia

3:50 am

Kallia

Atalante

3:54 am

Haz1558

I can feel the waves of smug from here.

3:54 am

Kallia

well done...haven't been there for ages

3:55 am

Haz1558

I haven't even looked at it, FM's warning was enough.

3:55 am

Atalante

nor me, I only did it to annoy FM lol :P

3:55 am

Kallia

a very quiet and intense place

3:55 am

Kallia

start 3.13 finish 3.15 lol

3:56 am

Haz1558

I know, they talk in strange languages about methods of solving and certainly no chit-chat.

3:58 am

sandyloo

Back again, Ata I just saved your spinach balls recipe

3:59 am

lynxxx

hi Sandy

3:59 am

Atalante

peri's really :)

3:59 am

sandyloo

hi lynxx, bit sad about poor Cadel ....

4:00 am

lynxxx

Cadel?

4:00 am

Atalante

he didn't have a good tour de france day

4:01 am

sandyloo

lol lynxx, out leader of the Tour, he had a bad day and lost the jersy and cried his heart out

4:01 am

rubyfoo

hello, I'm back. A workman is putting copper wire along the roof top to protect the tiles from lichen??

4:01 am

Kallia

hello ruby and sandy

4:01 am

sandyloo

does it electrocute the lichen Ruby?

4:02 am

Kallia

rots

4:02 am

Kallia

sorry

4:02 am

Haz1558

So was Cadel when he lost the jersey.

4:02 am

sandyloo

hi Kallia and try again I have that one

4:02 am

Kallia

lol thought you all might :)

4:03 am

sandyloo

It is such a hard race

4:03 am

rubyfoo

evidently, and he is going in and out and driving the dogs crazy!

4:03 am

rubyfoo

it is still very hot in France; yesterday was definitely a killer day for those poor guys. Watching Cadel cry made me cry, too, it was a truly touching moment

4:03 am

rubyfoo

hi haz and hello kallia

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

I like lichen :-(

4:04 am

rubyfoo

you'd think the guy wouldn't want to work on this national holiday!

4:04 am

sandyloo

Ruby, is he in danger of being bitten? and I cried too it was sad

4:04 am

rubyfoo

hi Sally. Me, too, but everybody says it ruins the tiles

4:04 am

Haz1558

I'm going to take a break and will return with fresh eyes. Back later!

4:04 am

sandyloo

I had a man setting up my new bed once and Sydney ran in and bit him and ran out (not very hard)

4:05 am

Kallia

bye Haz

4:05 am

lynxxx

bye Haz

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

ttfn Haz

4:05 am

rubyfoo

do you think that lichen doesn't hurt the tiles? It isn't too late for me to stop him!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

bye haz

4:05 am

rubyfoo

what do you think, wise Sally?

4:05 am

sandyloo

No lichen here on the roof Ruby

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

I think it doesn't hurt the tiles, but can look bad when it goes black. We have reclaimed tiles on our roof and are delighted to see lichen. It's usually a sign of clean air. It's a matter of personal choice though, so if you want coppper on the roof then go ahead :-) At least you won't get slugs up there.

4:10 am

Atalante

definitely a sign of clean air

4:10 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I am envious of how lovely a place you must live. It looked fantastic -do you live in the valley?

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

A local churchyard I have some involvement in recorded 78 varieties of lichen.

4:13 am

Atalante

how wonderful!

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

<http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk/chu
rchyard.html>

4:15 am

Atalante

oooo wonderful!

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

If you follow the link to the Heaven and Earth show you will see husband - oh, and there's some other famous bloke in the picture too :-)

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Husband is the one with the Rupert scarf :-))

4:18 am

Atalante

ooo! there was an interesting bit on Countryfile a few weekends ago about churchyard biodiversity

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

We have learnt a lot about managing our own land from how that churchyard is managed. We got so excited to see wild orchids appear. Three last year, and four this year :-)

4:20 am

Atalante

wonderful! what sort??

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

Common spotted.

4:21 am

Atalante

those are lovely :)

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

We think

4:22 am

Atalante

little spotty leaves :)

4:23 am

Sally-catlover

We had barren land here when we bought it. It has been quite a revelation to see how it has changed over the years. We had the local wildlife people in, who said we were doing everything right, just to give it time. This year the wild flowers have just exploded, in quantity and diversity. I can just sit out there and grin:-)

4:24 am

lynxxx

had it been farming land Sally?

4:24 am

Atalante

use your wildlife trusts! they are good people!

4:24 am

Sally-catlover

No, had been brickyard spoil - so coal and clay.

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, they were very helpful Ata.

4:25 am

Atalante

good :)

4:25 am

sandyloo

what a gorgeous little site Sally and a lovely churchyard

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

You like the web site? Good <smug>

4:26 am

sandyloo

and because of that I found an appropriate word in the grid

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

You did? Care to share a hint?

4:27 am

sandyloo

what the preacher does in the church - he gives a se****

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, ty

4:29 am

Atalante

ty!

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

Found a nice fe 7/8 and finished the Fs.

4:34 am

sandyloo

Ruby, are you still there?

4:35 am

sandyloo

I guess not

4:38 am

FMitch

Hi again, how is the grid today?

4:38 am

sandyloo

a good grid mitch

4:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM, I'm just back as well. Do you feel the smugness from Ata?

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

Not bad, except for the K words which are hard to find (for me)

4:39 am

FMitch

goodie thanks sandy.

Hi Haz ... does that mean she has finished it?

4:39 am

FMitch

Hey Sally.

4:39 am

Atalante

yep :P

4:39 am

Haz1558

She finished it very quickly.

4:39 am

FMitch

phooey

4:39 am

Haz1558

Beginner's luck.

4:39 am

sandyloo

I did all but 35 without the lists and that is the best i have ever done

4:40 am

Haz1558

A fluke.

4:40 am

FMitch

double phooey.

4:40 am

Atalante

took a while though!

4:40 am

Sally-catlover

How's the hair? Is this in honour of the cleaner?

4:40 am

sandyloo

it must be

4:40 am

FMitch

lol no Sally, was a treat just for me.

4:40 am

Haz1558

Two k might be how the Krankies would sing.

4:41 am

Atalante

badly?

4:41 am

Haz1558

That's a given. This is the style. The Krankies sing Bing Crosby.

4:42 am

FMitch

lol Ata

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

rofl, tried it and it worked.

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

ty haz

4:42 am

Haz1558

kr5 and kr6.

4:42 am

FMitch

As I was saying yesterday Sally at the prices I am paying I can afford to go twice as much and they do a great head massage too ... bliss.

4:42 am

Haz1558

I don't think it would work as a clue for the Americans.

4:43 am

Sally-catlover

Cheaper in Sussex than London, eh? My son who lives in London can't believe the eating-out prices here in Shropshire.

4:43 am

FMitch

good clue Haz!

4:44 am

FMitch

I bet he can't Sally.

4:45 am

FMitch

Well I had better dive in otherwise I will never finish.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Stand back. FM is going in!

4:46 am

lynxxx

enough for me tonight, bye all

4:46 am

Haz1558

Good night, lynxxx.

4:57 am

Atalante

4:57 am

sprite

am getting better at K words. I see a time coming when I no longer have the right to complain about K grids...

4:57 am

FMitch

HAVe you been overdoing it Ata?

4:58 am

sprite

wild guess: bad knee is responding to bad Ata?

4:58 am

Haz1558

Must go - see you later!

4:58 am

Atalante

half and half, idiot husband's idiocy made me get up while still 99% asleep and bent it far more than it's comfortable with. Much pain!

4:59 am

FMitch

and running in the rain yesterday prolly wouldn't have helped too.

4:59 am

sprite

if he is becoming a danger to you, hun, I will grab my canoe and come to the rescue

4:59 am

sprite

bye Haz, have a good day

4:59 am

Atalante

4:59 am

FMitch

Byeee Haz.

4:59 am

Atalante

awwwwwww :)

5:03 am

sprite

6:07 am

rubyfoo

6:07 am

herinfernallady

I just cranked the heater

sandyloo

sandyloo

eg: 1 if you are the naked man that is running with the Tour

6:09 am

sandyloo

2 whether the neighbours are broadminded

6:09 am

rubyfoo

they are too funny! But what is worse is the fat guys without shirts. Are they insane?

6:10 am

sandyloo

I was looking at them - I thought maybe it was a European things

6:10 am

sandyloo

thing

6:10 am

rubyfoo

they are tourists, I guess, wouldn't be doing it if they wre local

6:10 am

herinfernallady

no I am saying I just can't get warm

6:11 am

rubyfoo

European tourists, certainlynot (prudish) Americans, like me

6:11 am

sandyloo

i have the fire on and a heater

6:11 am

rubyfoo

6:12 am

rubyfoo

6:12 am

rubyfoo

6:12 am

herinfernallady

I just got hot choc

6:12 am

rubyfoo

unimaginable!

6:13 am

herinfernallady

I just can't get warm

6:14 am

rubyfoo

that's terrible, herin, I am used to it and just pile on layers and layers, varying the fabrics, during the winter here

6:14 am

herinfernallady

been cold all day

6:14 am

rubyfoo

the key, I think, is : a layer of silk, a layer of cotton, a layer of wool, etc. You may look like the Michelin man, but you'll stay warm

6:15 am

sandyloo

Ruby, Cadel has a fractured elbow and couldn't manage the big hill as it hurt too much , he is still going to continue the tour

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Silk is not breathable

6:15 am

rubyfoo

we don't have central heat and the house gets very cold in winter

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Usually I have cotton then warmth

6:15 am

rubyfoo

yes it is!

6:15 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know he was inured

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Cotton works with me

6:15 am

rubyfoo

poor Cadel!!!!

6:15 am

sandyloo

Wow Ruby, it must get really cold there

6:16 am

rubyfoo

OK, herin, cotton, THEN silk, then wool

6:16 am

sandyloo

he crashed at the beginning of the race

6:16 am

herinfernallady

Sandy have you seen the new TAC add?

6:16 am

rubyfoo

they don't show the beginning here

6:16 am

sandyloo

or was it the day before

6:16 am

sandyloo

no , it was the day before the rest day

6:17 am

sandyloo

Tac?

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Transport Accident Commision Ads

6:17 am

sandyloo

No I haven't herin,

6:18 am

herinfernallady

ok. Just starting to bug me

6:18 am

sandyloo

I will look out for them and guess what I am using that detol rinse

6:19 am

herinfernallady

THat Detol rinse is the best in winter. Means you can dry your clothes inside and not them get that wet smell

6:20 am

sandyloo

ok

6:20 am

herinfernallady

I don't know if you find that drying clothes inside winter leaves them with a wet smell

6:21 am

rubyfoo

bad ruby uses the dryer!

6:21 am

herinfernallady

We don't ahve one

6:22 am

rubyfoo

isn't esne a kind of medieval serf?

6:23 am

sandyloo

I try not to use the dryer but......

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I am too tired to hang the clothes outside

6:24 am

herinfernallady

I have no drying space that actually works unless it is hot

6:24 am

herinfernallady

Esne is a word. Means lower class

6:25 am

herinfernallady

a member of the lowest class; laborer.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

that's what I thought,l but enable doesn't know it!

6:26 am

herinfernallady

no it doesn't

6:27 am

rubyfoo

makes me feel a little less crazy (only a little)

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Only if you start answering your own questions

6:28 am

rubyfoo

when you call into the abysss and it answers back!

6:29 am

herinfernallady

Then you need to clean out the dust bunnies

6:29 am

rubyfoo

the dust bunnies here have their own ecosystems

6:30 am

rubyfoo

when my son was here in May, he and his wife cleaned oput all the dust bunnies in my studio; it was wonderful, but now I can't find anything

6:30 am

herinfernallady

:D

6:31 am

sandyloo

hahaha, I gave Nicky's dog a really nice bone today and Nicky has just found it buried in her bed under the blankets! LOL

6:31 am

herinfernallady

ewwwwww

6:32 am

rubyfoo

eeew! dogs are too funny. But was the boned cooked or raw? I am always afraind of bones with these too-delicate (but big) dogs

6:33 am

rubyfoo

OK, going to watch the race. See you later!

6:33 am

sandyloo

it was cooked but too solid for her to break as she is only little - it had lots of meat on it which she has chewed off - I am very fussy about bones too Ruby

6:33 am

herinfernallady

never give dogs cooked bones

6:34 am

sandyloo

it was cooked herin but she could not break it at all or I wouldn't have let her have it

6:34 am

rubyfoo

once I gave one of our previous dogs a cooked bone and it pierced his intestine (but he was OK and lived another 7 years)

6:34 am

FishFishGarden

rough one today - 97/60 and going to Lickety

6:34 am

sandyloo

they rarely get any bones so I guess she thought it was quite a treasure

6:34 am

rubyfoo

these chows could bite through a concrete road divider!

6:35 am

sandyloo

i have 7 left

6:35 am

rubyfoo

hi fish fish, after a couple of hours (???) I have 99/58, hopeless ruby

6:35 am

sandyloo

Herin, I do give them raw chicken carcasses at times

6:35 am

rubyfoo

amazing, sandy!

6:36 am

rubyfoo

and those tiny bones aren't dangerous?

6:36 am

sandyloo

the dog breeders recommend them

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Raw chicken bones are bad and the dog breeder is a twit

6:36 am

sandyloo

they have a lot of calcium in them and they are meant to be safe as long as they are raw

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Chicken bones splinter

6:37 am

sandyloo

never cooked

6:37 am

rubyfoo

you should see me boning chicken for these 75 lb dogs!

6:37 am

sandyloo

herin, I have heard that from a lot of dog people

6:37 am

sandyloo

they only splinter if they are cooked

6:37 am

rubyfoo

BTW, my one tomato is almost red!

6:38 am

Nancy Boy

howww can you stand to do that?? taking the bones out of something...blech!!

6:39 am

sandyloo

have to go and watch masterchef

6:39 am

sandyloo

bbl

6:39 am

rubyfoo

NB: you are just the person I need! I need the phone number of a florist in London to send flowers to a hospital. I've used FTD, but then they send e-mails every day until you threaten them. I just need a phone number!!

6:39 am

Nancy Boy

FTD? What's that? And I can try to help; any part of London in particular?

6:40 am

Nancy Boy

wait, do hospitals even allow flowers?

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I think the hospital is in Marylebone (sp?

6:40 am

rubyfoo

yes

6:40 am

rubyfoo

FTD is international and on line but I couldn't believe what happened after I used them

6:41 am

rubyfoo

my niece is having surgery on Friday

6:41 am

NonoNanette

good morning Babblers

6:41 am

Nancy Boy

Marylebone is right ;) though most Londoners can't spell it...lemme take a look. I don't know that area too well, but I can check it out

6:41 am

rubyfoo

maybe I could send you in a cake!

6:41 am

Nancy Boy

Morning, Nono :)

6:41 am

rubyfoo

hi no no!

6:41 am

NonoNanette

Ruby can you not call a local florist that is FTD and arrange the flowers for anywhere

6:42 am

rubyfoo

no, I just did that for Wales, and have gotten an e-mail from FTD every day since!

6:42 am

Sally-catlover

Hi, just briefly popping back in. Ruby, you need to check with the hospital that they allow flowers.

6:42 am

rubyfoo

I finally had to say take me off your list or I'll call my lawyer and the e-mail stoppped

6:43 am

Sally-catlover

Can't you tell FTD to stop.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

I did and they did, after 3 weeks

6:43 am

NonoNanette

i never give them my email addie but use FTD a lot

6:43 am

M3

@ rubyfoo inter flora will send flowers to and from anywhere.

6:43 am

Nancy Boy

You could try this website, Ruby; I've used them before: http://tinyurl.com/3ydd4am and they deliver free and very quickly to anywhere in the London area.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

that was for the woman in Wales who received and sent on the pond nets! hahah

6:44 am

herinfernallady

How can you not allow flowers :(

6:44 am

rubyfoo

thank you NB, I'll try that on Friday but will call the hospital first

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

I wouldn't personally use Interflora because so often the flowers are rubbish. Flying Flowers are quite good: http://www.flyingflowers.co.uk/

6:45 am

rubyfoo

how can you have surgery and not receive flowers?

6:45 am

Nancy Boy

No problem ;) I think the number is on the website there, if you wanna go through that route. You shouldn't get any spam mail..

6:45 am

NonoNanette

I know local hospitals here do not allow flowers in intensive care units but they are allowed in regular rooms

6:45 am

rubyfoo

thank you both.

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

When Tony was having heart surgery, no flowers were allowed.

6:46 am

Nancy Boy

Contamination risk with flowers! English hospitals can be quite vigilant about it, too, 'cause of the whole superbug thing.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

when I had my first surgery, almost 20 years ago, I received more tahn 30 thingies of flowers and my nurses wanted to know if I was famous. I said "in a limited way! LOL"

6:46 am

rubyfoo

but then the MDs shouldn't wear ties!

6:47 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, but the rules have changed now ruby.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

ahah

6:47 am

herinfernallady

I don';t care what happens as long as it isn't a doc that dealt with my nan

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I will call the hospital then, before I send the flowers. Otherwise, I will send them to her house, the day she comes home

6:48 am

herinfernallady

That reminds me Dad has to go to hospital soon

6:49 am

rubyfoo

I've had enough of hospitals for a lifetime!

6:49 am

herinfernallady

Touch wood for me

6:49 am

rubyfoo

yes, herin!

6:50 am

Nancy Boy

oh, and I hope your niece sails through the surgery, btw :)

6:50 am

rubyfoo

howdy bob..i know it jellen,they were sticking me 2 times a day for treatment bags and twice a day for blood samples

9:03 am

Jellen

Anyway, the liver is a lot more damaged than I had thought...I asked about MD Anderson and the doc said we really didn't have time to wait on the tests they would do...

9:03 am

Jellen

Hi, Mr Bob and GE

9:03 am

crosshair

so they are gearing up to start treatment?

9:04 am

Jellen

Yes...I would guess tomorrow...

9:05 am

crosshair

chemo or radiation..or both?

9:05 am

Jellen

Chemo

9:05 am

Boobear

clue for en 5 please

9:06 am

crosshair

now if you have never gone through this before jellen,each person is individual with chemo,some react differently than others...

9:06 am

Good Enough

jellen i didn't know that Tim had been sick that long

9:06 am

crosshair

some sail through it,or as in my case i lost every hair on my boyd..90 pounds and pukede 20 times a day,but your guy may have a easier time

9:07 am

Jellen

Yes, GE...It's been an on and off battle...discovered the liver problem about two months ago...

9:07 am

crosshair

it is best to go for the chemo round as early in the day as they will let you

9:08 am

crosshair

and after 1 week into it,set him up on the couch if he is having a hard go of it

9:09 am

Jellen

We've already requested a hospital bed...

9:09 am

crosshair

keep lots of jello,vaniillia ice cream,freezies,gatorade and ensure protien shakes around

9:09 am

crosshair

oh ok

9:09 am

Jellen

They were going to check into it for insurance...

9:18 am

crosshair

it is bad here as well dorens

9:19 am

Dorens

can

9:20 am

Dorens

can't get anyone on the phone... have to go down to the office to explain this ridiculous snafu. i applied 7/1, last paycheck dated 6/30, so the system is saying i worked and asking when i went back to work. not letting me input the truth, either on phone system or computer. utterly insane

9:20 am

Elegant

Dealing wit the Gov is always frustrating. I think they do it on purpose.

9:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

best gubmint money can buy, NOT! lol

9:21 am

crosshair

i wnet through the same thing and i do not know about there dorens,but do not let then delay you any longer than 4 weeks after your last day worked

9:21 am

Dorens

absolutely. i am wondering how all the people who do get it manage

9:21 am

crosshair

they almost messed me up,cause if you take longer than 4 weeks here,you cannot qualify

9:21 am

Boobear

clue for fe 7 please

9:22 am

Dorens

oh, i'm not taking longer than four weeks, crossy, i will be standing in line down at the disgusting office in an hour or so

9:23 am

crosshair

"yup,get in their faces dorens

9:23 am

crosshair

and here,filing your reports are all done on computer

9:23 am

crosshair

it is hard at the start but you get used to it

9:23 am

Dorens

it's done that way here too.... but it isn't letting me... keeps saying I did work the week ending 7/3, whereas my last day of work was 6/23.

9:24 am

crosshair

do you have your r.o.e?

9:24 am

Book Doctor Gwen

could be your employer messed something up on their end . . .

9:24 am

Dorens

so i tried saying, yes i did work, putting down my last day as 6/30 - then they ask "when did I return to work" and i didn't.. haven't... (no r.o.e in USA)

9:25 am

crosshair

the record of employment,your employer must supply it no later than 7 days after your last day worked

9:25 am

crosshair

it is a recod of your work history

9:25 am

crosshair

no roes???

9:25 am

Nancy Boy

Hi, all. Oooh, this looks very grown-up and serious..

9:25 am

Dorens

no, just stupid unemployment. last day of work 6/23, last pay check 6/30, filed 7/1 and their computer keeps saying i DID work last week

9:25 am

crosshair

sorry nb,will be done soon

9:26 am

Nancy Boy

perhaps you can find 'em in the grid Crossy ;)

9:26 am

Dorens

oh, we do have that, i suppose, but i'm sure my employer gave them the truth. problem is that even tho i did get paid, i didn't work that week. and even when i try to pretend i did to satisfy them, then they ask me when i "returned to work" which i didn't. catch 22

9:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

phantom keister

9:27 am

Dorens

i'm done ranting... hi nb... once i get half way i'm out of here and down the the grubby office

9:27 am

crosshair

if you got paid,you worked in the eyes of unemployment..if it was paid to you on a company cheque

9:28 am

crosshair

but best to march down there and tear at them

9:28 am

Uneaixoise

heading out the door but wanted to say GOOD LUCK to dorens -- sorry it's such a crap process! *poof*

9:28 am

Judi

Back from getting more caffeine. Rainy days do not contribute to office productivity.

9:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

that might be it, since they paid you a week after your worked, or whatever

9:28 am

Judi

Hey, NB - how's the ankle, you table dancing tart?

9:33 am

9:50 am

Judi

Here's an existential question for the masses: Now, I have never done this and never would, but: Do you think it's okay for someone to sell or give away a used mattress? (Just making conversation). My personal opinion is: Ewwww.

9:50 am

Atalante

depends HOW used!!

9:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i have given away a used mattress. and you're right, it was kind of eww. that's what mattress pads are for

9:51 am

car.eeyore

Judi...not my favorite. However, we have done so with family members....just not strangers.

9:51 am

EvaNadine

*runs into chog and huggles Ata*

9:51 am

crosshair

personally,i would pass on a used mattress unless in dire straits

9:51 am

Atalante

EEEEEEEEEVA!!

9:51 am

crosshair

family to family is not so bad

9:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yup, mine went to a poor family

9:51 am

Atalante

used once isn't so bad. used for 5 years is dubious

9:52 am

crosshair

then it is fine gwen\

9:54 am

EvaNadine

so, i checked the tag on that dress, ata, and it WAS supposed to be line-dried.
oopsie.
but i drenched it yesterday evening and hung it to dry, and i think it has been salvaged -- i tried it on last night (while still slightly damp) and it seemed to be appropriate-length again. :)

9:55 am

Atalante

and what lesson do we learn from this, eva? :P

9:55 am

EvaNadine

do what i want -- in the end it will all work out ok. ;)

9:55 am

Atalante

lmao

9:55 am

Atalante

that works too :P

9:55 am

car.eeyore

Rock on, Eva!

9:56 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i did the same thing only it was underwear LOL

9:56 am

EvaNadine

we happened to be in a target last night (whilst me dress was dripping dry at home) and they had plenty of them, so if need be, i would have taken it back to exchange it...

9:58 am

crosshair

short dresses are not a bad thing anyways:)

9:59 am

Atalante

this is very true

9:59 am

EvaNadine

they are in the office, crossy. ;)

9:59 am

EvaNadine

as in, one of the gals here got a writte reprimand because of her attire. :X

10:00 am

crosshair

lol,they do not have to look lol

10:00 am

EvaNadine

unfortunately, theres something about the federal government that they want people to look respectable, even if they arent...

10:00 am

Book Doctor Gwen

reprimand? for clothes? who's the picky picky nitwit?

10:00 am

Atalante

suppose it depends *how* short

10:01 am

car.eeyore

Ahh...look respectable but dont' need to act respectable! LOL! (present company excluded of course!)

10:01 am

EvaNadine

we have a "business casual" dress code here. and well, lets just say this gal often looks like her business is more of the nighttime variety...

10:01 am

crosshair

if the govt is going to mess my life up,the least they can do is give me some nice legs to look at lol

10:01 am

car.eeyore

Eva...have you gotten any responses yet?

10:01 am

car.eeyore

LOL!

10:02 am

car.eeyore

Any RH words?

10:02 am

EvaNadine

and my dress started out as short as i would wear it to the office. i totally would still have worn it outside of work.
but now, at least, it seems to be back to office-appropriate length. :)

10:02 am

EvaNadine

car -- none in the mail yet, though my mom said 2 people have already asked her where we are registered!
(we only just did our first registry last night. #2 and maybe 3 coming tonight!)

10:03 am

Book Doctor Gwen

no RH words

10:03 am

car.eeyore

Wahoo! I am going to a wedding this weekend...I will take notes for you!

10:03 am

car.eeyore

How can there be 15 K words in this mess?

10:03 am

EvaNadine

heh, you do that. ;)

10:04 am

mymuseisme

I can vouch for 13 of them car ;)

10:04 am

car.eeyore

Anything in particular you would like me to report back on?

10:05 am

bichon

car, think very weird words

10:05 am

car.eeyore

I uised to be an event planner and when I go to weddings and parties now, I do find myself making mental notes about everything!

10:05 am

mymuseisme

yep there are 15 k's.

10:05 am

EvaNadine

actually, my mother found it interesting how many people RSVP that they are coming to a wedding, only to not show for whatever reason. never thought about it before, but thats a LOT of money down the drain!

10:05 am

crosshair

eva let me know when the big day is about a week away and ill send you vid clips on wedding disasters lol...the build up for this thing is so big that groom will be passing out and kids puking all over the place..but i seriously hope yours goes smooth

10:06 am

EvaNadine

we are starting to look at favors + making our own programs, but we want to be somewhat original. got our thinking caps on for those.

10:06 am

car.eeyore

Yeah...it is amazing these days how casual people are about RSVP-ing and actually showing up.

10:06 am

car.eeyore

Do you have a theme or motif for your wedding?

10:07 am

EvaNadine

heh, thanks crossy.
i already know the day wont be 100% smooth or perfect. i have fully prepared myself for temper tantrums. (and the kids acting up too!) so long as the sky doesnt cave in on us, i think i will survive.

10:07 am

crosshair

crossy may crash the party:)

10:07 am

EvaNadine

car -- we are going for "rustic elegant" -- a little outdoorsy, but not overly so.

10:07 am

bichon

Eva, for my daughter's wedding, one guy [not my side] never showed up. His excuse: I woke up late and didn't have a ride.

10:07 am

Atalante

for my favours, I made little tiny cupcake versions of the main cake

10:07 am

EvaNadine

well, it wont be a surprise now, will it crossy?

10:08 am

crosshair

it will be if i show up neeked;)

10:08 am

EvaNadine

thats cute, ata!
we are going to some tastings this weekend, so hopefully we will have the cake squared away soon.

10:08 am

EvaNadine

sorry crossy, you must be dressed formally....hehe

10:08 am

Book Doctor Gwen

the best excuse ever for all occasions: i flaked! LOL

10:08 am

crosshair

kk,ill wear a bow tie

10:08 am

car.eeyore

Favors are my favorite part!!!!! 2 of my favorite examples: When I turned 30 I threw myself a "sleep over" with my girlfriends...we all had to wear pajamas and such...the favors were shiny dress up purses I got at the toy store filled with nail polish, files, big costume jewelry rings, and fun girly things! They were a big hit!

10:08 am

crosshair

one for above and one below

10:08 am

EvaNadine

works for me, then! hehe

10:08 am

car.eeyore

Nice ATA!

10:09 am

car.eeyore

I was going to say that Crossy...as long as you have a bowtie on you would be properly dressed!

10:10 am

EvaNadine

i was thinking about making a donation to charity in lieu of favors. while its fun to hand them out, no one ever really cares that much about them, and i feel like it is often money wasted. so i would prefer to put it to good use.
otherwise, i am aiming for very inexpensive favors.

10:10 am

crosshair

yup,never know when a pair of bow ties will come in handy

10:10 am

mymuseisme

lol crossy

10:10 am

Atalante

just make up little cards then saying what you've done, then people have a little something to open and it's not expensive

10:11 am

Atalante

ooo you could adopt a lcal zoo / rescue centre animal on behalf of the wedding party!

10:11 am

car.eeyore

That is a great idea Eva! Very smart economically too! And yes, Ata, the cards are a great idea! Another inexpensive idea for "outdoorsy elegant" is the cards that you can then plant and trees grow.

10:12 am

Atalante

or packet of seed wrapped nicely

dcseain

Even Indian English differs between Vegetarian (ovo-lacto) and Pure Vegetarian (vegan), though i do think you have a point, George.

12:07 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, eating the wrong stuff can cause that, over the years, it's too hard on our bodies, we have the long, pocketed intestines that any herbivore does, not the shorter, smooth ones that carnivores and omnivores have, designed to let meat pass through as rapidly as it should! I used to not feel so good before I got all that outta my diet--and I was young at the time, as well! 20's!!

12:07 pm

Cheshire Badger

lol, linguistic pedantry..how marvellous...unfortunately we can't make words mean that was originally intended, we have to use them on the common understanding. Otherwise I'd have to start punching anyone who called me gorgeous.

12:07 pm

dcseain

LOL Cheshire, quite!

12:08 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah Seain and hello, m8, by the way, ha!! it's all the same to me, cos how can you be 'vegetarian' if you drink the mammary secretions of other mammals and eat stuff made from that, or as some who call themselves that do, eat fish?? those don't grow on plants, folks!!

Cheshire Badger

If I say I'm vegetarian everyone knows not to give me dead animals but that cheese will be welcome. If I wanted to be deprived of cheese then saying I was vegan would convey that to my potential host. If I said vegetarian pedantically and meant vegan then I might get a plate of unwelcome cheese. (Please note that cheese is the required for the happiness of the Cheshire Badger)

12:10 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I almost wanna laugh if anyone calls me that, but that would be a bit rude I suppose, ha! they're only trying to make me feel better, of course!!

12:11 pm

m9f9l

george do you eat honey?

12:11 pm

wildcat17

lol crossy

12:11 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

not eating cheese made from the mammary secretions of mother cows, isn't being 'deprived' at all, that's not good for us, don't miss it a bit either! I still eat cheese, it's just made with plant milks! soy, rice, mainly

12:11 pm

crosshair

i assume vegetarians ones who will still partake of cheese,ypgurt and the like,wheras i think of vegans as one who graze

12:12 pm

m9f9l

<<<has not found plant cheese she likes

12:12 pm

Cheshire Badger

My use of deprived was purely directed at myself....it is my favourite food! :)

12:12 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

and yeah, I'm well aware of all the terms and what they're taken to mean, but I still don't consider one who consumes those things 'vegetarian'--that's still an omivorous diet!

12:12 pm

dcseain

many a meal of mine lacks dairy products, though i do eat them.

12:12 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh I see, Seain, well I don't cos of what it contributes to causing, and all that

12:12 pm

crosshair

do you vegans then take calcium suppliments?

12:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well, the health aspect as well of course

12:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

course not, get plenty of calcium in my diet, the right forms of it for us, as well

12:13 pm

m9f9l

vegetables have quite a bit of cmalciu

12:13 pm

crosshair

mm just curious

12:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

why does any mammal need milk after weaning age? they don't, that includes us

12:14 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

specially not the milk of another species, geared for the needs of their young only!

12:14 pm

m9f9l

there's always ovolatarians, lactovegetarians..etc

12:14 pm

crosshair

i have tried soy beverage...ugh

12:14 pm

Cheshire Badger

I'm vegetarian but don't take my cheese.....if cheese messes up my body and mutates me I'd just buy a wheelchair and sew myself an X-men costume (and bald cap) ...the only thing that would make me give it up is if it was proved to reduce intelligence but I'd probably just put my fingers in my ears with a gusty "lalalala"

12:15 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

dark green leafy veg, certain nuts and seeds contain better calcium for us than another species' milk does, also soy milk is rich in it

12:15 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well they're not all created equal, that's for sure, soy milks that is!

12:15 pm

crosshair

lol cheshire i love cheese also

12:15 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

some I can't stand, some are great--just have to try different ones til you find one you like!

12:15 pm

12:18 pm

Atalante

and how do you milk a whale, Crossy?

12:18 pm

crosshair

i am so far behind,i think im first...

12:18 pm

crosshair

very carefully ata,very carefully

12:19 pm

Atalante

I'd think so!!

12:19 pm

crosshair

first you say"please/"

12:19 pm

dcseain

wouldn't they just kill the whale and then take the milk straight from the glands?

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

hahah

12:20 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, that's a lovely thing to do, Seain

12:20 pm

crosshair

each traditional inuit villiage to this day is allowed 1 whale kill per community

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

but not drinking milk when you're a child leads to bad teeth later. You should see the teeth around here!!

12:20 pm

dcseain

well, it would seem natural in that culture.

12:20 pm

Atalante

certainly easier I would think!

12:21 pm

dcseain

actually, ruby, most of asia does not eat milk once weened, and they have fine teeth.

12:21 pm

crosshair

in the north all this stuff vegans eat simply does not grow in the 9 month winters

12:21 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no it doesn't, not getting proper calcium does, but the best forms don't come from that source anyhow! I think bad teeth are the result of not brushing properly as well, some kids are very bad about that!!

12:21 pm

dcseain

that is true, crossy

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

when my son was a baby and we spent time here, other mothers were horrified that he was drinking whole milk. They'd mix it half and half with water.

12:21 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, it wouldn't crosshair, no

12:21 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

would have to be imported, very costly!

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

hello seain, that's true, but their diets have less sugars and starch and a lot of fish

12:22 pm

crosshair

lol,a loaf of bread in ft mcmurry or frobisher bay costs 10 dollars

12:22 pm

dcseain

or grown in a hothouse, which can be costly of needing much more than for a family

12:22 pm

Nancy Boy

Hm, looks like I chose a good moment to go on break. Ruby, I grew up on soy milk. Please refer to profile pic to see how my teeth have done ;)

12:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

did they dilute their own milk for their babies??

12:22 pm

dcseain

Chinese diets are largely pork, and korea eats tons of beef and dog and pig.

12:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hello, Jesse m8, how's you?!?

12:23 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, it's awful, Seain!

OK, you show off NB! People around here kid me about having "American teeth"

Ugh, don't talk about it, Seain! When I was about four and still living in Korea, my parents once forced me to eat dog meat - we had a dog as a pet as well...traumatic. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

12:24 pm

Nancy Boy

Not at the mo, George, I'm just on break at work! My phone ain't that advanced ;)

12:24 pm

that was all i had to say about it. :)

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

OMG, NB, that is terrible!

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

when my son was a baby, it was out of fashion to breast feed, so I don't know about that. I did, in the US, but was def swimming against the tide.....

12:25 pm

I like mine, Jesse, does what I want it to, probably don't use all the features yet, just want to take and make calls and tweet from it! oh god yeah, speaking of that, some hacker got into my Twitter account over the past few days, posting spam on my page!! I was just lucky he didn't change my bloody password on me--odd that he didn't!? I had to change it 2x, did it once and he got back in!!!!

12:36 pm

12:38 pm

Bugsaw

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

2:00 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

2:00 pm

stidmama

hoping to get a few more before I head out... I am actually almost ready for the presentation I need to give tomorrow!!! *very pleased mama look* then I can start the paper that is due next Thursday... and do more research on the lesson I am co-teaching on Tuesday and...

2:00 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

if you can't have a sense of humour about yourself, your probably a miserable person, I reckon--laugh at myself all the time, I do!

2:00 pm

Bugsaw

you must admit tho George that your icon is a bit intimidating.

2:01 pm

m9f9l

LOL..I just noticed that my profile says this is a pic from family camping trip!

2:01 pm

stidmama

no bugs... not intimidating, an attempt to appear tough from a person who really isn't

2:01 pm

Bugsaw

what is the presentation on stid? Not trying to be nosey, just curious

2:01 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

intimidating? it's just a quick snap I took myself with my mobile phone camera one morning, literally after just waking up, barely awake--and the light in the room was just too bright, ha ha!!

2:01 pm

stidmama

<-- works with middle schoolers and parents teens (familiar with technique)

I am going to outline the assessments I intend to use when student teaching.

2:02 pm

m9f9l

phew stid..I'm exhausted just reading it!

2:02 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

eh, stidmama? wasn't trying to appear tough at all, don't care to be or look that way!

2:03 pm

stidmama

:-D sorry George. was being flip, but you don't know me yet...

2:03 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I was just not sure I had the phone camera in the right position and the light was a bit bright for me, not even being awake yet, ha!

2:04 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I'm not very tough, I'm a marshmallow! unless I'm forced to be, but try to avoid that as much as I can!!

2:05 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

and ha, m9, you take familiy camping trips in some odd places!!

2:05 pm

Bugsaw

just keeping using that evil eye look George when you need to be firm. It usually works well, especially with such a beautiful eye colour

there are uploaders for photo sites that let you upload more more quickly, George. There's a few for Flickr, too

2:17 pm

m9f9l

oh... for fb, you have to use an app to move pics from picassa editing to fb

2:17 pm

m9f9l

yeah... her hair is great since we found the book "curly girl"

2:18 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, I see, haven't tried to move anything from Picassa to FB yet, probably won't, keep the two separate!

2:18 pm

dcseain

as one with curly hair, i hated mine til i learned to use highly humectant shampoo and conditioner.

2:18 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, Seain, seen that but never used any, just do it the regular way and it works ok!

2:19 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, mine was never really curly but had a lot of wave in it, which looked nice when I grew it out long

2:19 pm

dcseain

yeah, i just do the straight, regular uploads, too.

2:21 pm

m9f9l

oohh..you're shaved?

2:21 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

exfoliate what? not your hair, surely??

2:21 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

blast. I was hoping you would be up and about and ready to come to the babble meet in August and walk all over Olympia with me. *bummed out mama look*

3:40 pm

stidmama

even though I know you weren't actually planning on being here for that... LOL

nooooo :( probably end September ...

end of September is often a lovely time of year in these parts. End of October almost guaranteed gray.

it really depends on if and when I can actually sort out a research visa

I think it's more when than if, really... but of course their time table is not on our schedule. *bummed out mama look again*

Does the "Tile Stats" section refer to the amount of words remaining that BEGIN with that letter?

3:43 pm

stidmama

yes, unshake, that's what it's about

3:43 pm

stidmama

the second # is how many start with that tile

3:43 pm

stidmama

and the first number is how many you have found from that tile.

3:44 pm

Atalante

yes *sigh* it's just proving SO hard to get hold of people at OSU, UW etc

3:44 pm

stidmama

I wish I had string to pull atalante, but I don't have ANY connections there.

3:45 pm

stidmama

and Evergreen doesn't have a marine biology section. Unless you want to do microbiology... phage, pseudomonas?

3:45 pm

Atalante

it's literally trying to get hold of *anyone* with any say! I'm hoping that after summer hols it'll be easier

3:45 pm

stidmama

that's likely, atalante. They are also in a search for a new college president, so that might be taking some time as well (at the UW, that is)

3:46 pm

4:30 pm

Atalante

of course last week was too hot. typical british weather!

4:30 pm

jacq

lol, we had ours last month

4:30 pm

jacq

ata, we cannot say that this far north, it's been another poor summer so far

4:31 pm

Atalante

ick :( it was sooo hot here last week. now rain and thunder!

4:32 pm

stidgmere

We had 7 weeks without one single sunny day which finally ended in mid-June.

4:33 pm

jacq

wow

4:34 pm

jacq

it's St Swithins day tomorrow, and we have a forecast of rain

4:36 pm

stidgmere

How does one celebrate St. Swithins' Day? Is it with bonfires usually?

4:37 pm

jacq

no with a prayer for no rain lol

4:37 pm

jacq

if it rains on st swithins day it is supposed to rain for 40 days

4:38 pm

stidgmere

Oh. Now those were serious questions. Ooh. 40 days? I see the seriousness of the situation.

4:40 pm

jacq

it is based on a tale than when St swithin (who was a saxon bishop) died he asked to be buried outdoors where he could be rained on and trodden on, he was for 9 years then his body was moved and there was allegedly a huge storm on the day his body was re-interred at winchester cathredal

4:41 pm

Magyk

good evening

4:41 pm

jacq

hello magyk

4:41 pm

stidgmere

Poor St. Swithin. A simple request that had to be tampered with. Thank you, jacq for I was totally ignorant about the saint.

4:42 pm

jacq

so was i until a couple of years ago

4:42 pm

Atalante

poor St Swithin

4:43 pm

stidgmere

You know I read the news on Google but to find out what is happening in the world, I go to Babble Chat. Here is where i found out about the snows in Great Britain this past winter. This is even better than twitter in my opinion.

4:43 pm

jacq

i have a question, which may sound ignorant but it isn't meant to be

4:44 pm

jacq

is the catholic church the only one of the christian faiths that makes saints?

4:45 pm

stidgmere

Yes, I think it is the only one with Saints. Anyone else have information on this? As a person brought up Catholic, I know about that church but am not able to speak for all Christian churches.

4:45 pm

Atalante

greek orthodox maybe

4:46 pm

hurshy

*grumble grumble*

4:47 pm

Atalante

what hurshy smurshy??

4:47 pm

stidgmere

Hmm, you know Atalante, I think you're right. What about the whole Byzantine branches?

4:47 pm

hurshy

work.

4:47 pm

jacq

i found a stone and well dedicated to Saint Jessie but i have never heard of a saint jessie

4:47 pm

hurshy

make me feel better, point me to the 10

4:47 pm

jacq

it is in the highlands, an area with a complex and bloody religious history

4:48 pm

Atalante

there are certainly a few wells / crosses etc dedicated to saints who are only known from that one inscription

4:48 pm

Atalante

so10/70

4:48 pm

stidgmere

Yes, I think Holy people are often locally known (were) and honored.

4:49 pm

hurshy

well of course the catholic church was once the only game in town (in the UK and other places) and they encompassed a bit more variety back then.

4:49 pm

hurshy

please, is that weird or normal, ata?

4:50 pm

jacq

they have over 10,000 recognised saints but jessie isn't one of them, it was dated 1856

4:50 pm

jacq

it is related to sound Hursh, of a bell perhaps or a voice

4:50 pm

hurshy

oh, well 1856 isn't that long ago

4:50 pm

Atalante

weird. what a bell-ringing fraternity might be called

4:50 pm

hurshy

so that knocks out my comments

4:50 pm

hurshy

thank you

4:51 pm

and the 8's are te, and what other two?

4:52 pm

hurshy

my starts

4:52 pm

hurshy

*stars

4:52 pm

jacq

all i really know about 1856 is that it was the end of a famine that meant many scots either left or starved

4:53 pm

Cathyar

1856 is the last 4 digits of my home phone #!!! LOL! ;)

4:53 pm

stidgmere

Bell ringers play changes. They are kind of a noisy group. No hints here I don't have a clue about the so 10 word.

4:53 pm

jacq

lol cathyar

4:53 pm

Cathyar

me either stidgmere

4:54 pm

stidgmere

Is there any way locally to find out about St. Jessie? I didn't know Scotland had a famine in 1856. I am so amazed at the number of things I have never heard about!

4:54 pm

graygoose

so8 - loud noises

4:54 pm

Atalante

a bell-ringing *female* fraternity lol

4:55 pm

hurshy

got the oe!

4:55 pm

Cathyar

hmmmm

4:55 pm

jacq

well the famine wouldn;t have been helped by the clearances, it helped clear out many small towns and crofts, and around that time many highlanders were forced from their homes and shipped to canada

4:55 pm

hurshy

blame canada, blame canada

4:55 pm

Cathyar

HEY HURSH!!!! :P lol

4:55 pm

jacq

but no amount of searching has helped, this well is in the middle of nowhere at the side of the road

4:56 pm

hurshy

it just seemed to fit...

4:56 pm

jacq

the only blame lies with greed hurshy, greedy landowners

4:56 pm

hurshy

jacq, i know what you should do!

4:56 pm

Cathyar

and the brits expelled many canadians from nova scotia to louisiana...so there! LOL ;)

4:56 pm

hurshy

get a stone and date it in the past and call it saint jacq and set OTHER people wondering!

4:57 pm

jacq

LOLOLOLOLOLOL i think all the demons of hell would be set upon the world if i proclaimed myself a saint

4:57 pm

hurshy

oh the fe's are the easiest ones, silly me

4:58 pm

Cathyar

ok...back to that elusive so 10/70 please? i just can't see it...not smart enuff to interpret ata's clue i guess! LOL

4:58 pm

stidgmere

I think I have given up the idea of personal sainthood. The requirements are too stringent for me.

4:58 pm

jacq

think of a sisterhood, for college maybe and change the hooked letter for another

4:59 pm

jacq

sorry, change the first hooked letter for another consonant

4:59 pm

Cathyar

5:10 pm

Cathyar

5:11 pm

jacq

5:11 pm

Cathyar

ummm...dare i as a clue for the fo6?

5:13 pm

jacq

it means a strong foul smell, i have seen it before without the o

5:13 pm

jacq

also a singular, of the fo7

5:14 pm

Cathyar

wish i had the fo7...then i'd have the 6. lol

5:14 pm

Cathyar

strong, foul smell...hmmm

5:14 pm

jacq

it is usually a 5 letter word ending with id

5:14 pm

Magyk

any other clues?

5:14 pm

MPittore

Well ello babble friends

5:15 pm

jacq

three letter word for enemy and most of the word for the rise and fall of water controlled by the m***

5:15 pm

jacq

hello MPittore

5:16 pm

stidgmere

Hello MPittore. A grid with many challenges today, I find.

5:17 pm

MPittore

Hi jacq...been lurking and working LOL...here's another word play...only three t's til a fountain..LOL...feeling silly today I guess!

5:17 pm

MPittore

Hi stig...go go go

5:18 pm

MPittore

oops..*stid*

5:19 pm

MPittore

Stid...is that Yoda talk???

5:20 pm

Cathyar

definately a challenging grid...got the enemy part, but the rise and fall of the tides has me baffled...and I should know this being from the town with the highest tides in the world!

5:20 pm

Cathyar

my dog/kid keep distracting me too, which doesn't help. :S

5:21 pm

Magyk

I moved on...I'll back to it later. I'm just diggin some tunes now.

5:21 pm

jacq

lol really the rise and fall of the tides has nothing to really do with the word, it was a clue to a normal use of the word

5:21 pm

jacq

enemy and hill or mountain

5:21 pm

jacq

i didn't think of the hill part

5:21 pm

MPittore

ok back to the grid...going in for the finish! brb

5:22 pm

jacq

i'm a rubbish cluer, i do much better when i forget to move my cursor

5:23 pm

Cathyar

hmmm...maybe i'm looking at the wrong 2nd vowel. retrying

5:23 pm

stidgmere

I guess it did sound like Yoda, MP but that is not totally bad.

5:23 pm

jacq

no enemy is the first part then another word for hill or mountain (s)

5:25 pm

Cathyar

stepping away for a few mins :S

5:27 pm

MPittore

Yes stid....I agree Yoda was cool! My friend's nephew is a major collector of Yoda "things"...I once talked a Pizza Hut into giving me the cling-ons off their windows, that cracks me up Cling-Ons...funny!)

5:27 pm

Magyk

ir6?

5:28 pm

MPittore

One to go....brb

5:29 pm

MPittore

F I R E W O R K S or Fountains!

5:29 pm

Cathyar

i never knew that was another word for hill or mountain...monkeyed it... god, i feel stupid! LOL

5:29 pm

Cathyar

YAY MPitt!!!

5:30 pm

Magyk

wtg MP!!

5:30 pm

jacq

5:30 pm

5:31 pm

Cathyar

5:32 pm

Congrats MPittore. Very fine achievement!

5:33 pm

Cathyar

5:38 pm

Magyk

I put cinnamon rolls in the pb....

5:39 pm

stidgmere

Maybe wel'll take the whiskey out of the PB, it is a little bit too wobbly-making I think.

5:40 pm

jacq

LOL i am gonna get FAT in the PB, in just one night

5:41 pm

stidgmere

How nice, a good cinnamon roll makes me want to join you jacq in the PB but I usually write through the lickety part of Babble and that prevents many extra words slipping through.

5:44 pm

Cathyar

32 left now! :)

5:45 pm

jacq

fireworks!!!!!! finally

5:45 pm

jacq

some strange words today even for babble

5:45 pm

jacq

stidgmere, i should probably do it through the lickety part but have no idea how to

5:46 pm

stidgmere

Hooray jacq. What a fine achievment. I can use the lickety because Stidmama helped me with it. I would be even further in the dark ages without the help of my daughter.

5:46 pm

Cathyar

YAY jacq!!!! :D

5:47 pm

jacq

it's odd, i have expert but have never explored the buttons along the top because i usually run straight into the game

5:48 pm

stidgmere

Choose the add words or chat box and it pops right up. If you only put one word in, it goes to lickety's list. If you type more than one, it goes to chat.

5:49 pm

jacq

oh i see so easy to use

5:49 pm

jacq

but it's slower

5:50 pm

stidgmere

Well, it may be a mini second slower but just think, you and I are in real time, exchanging our ideas and it is just for the price of a Babble membership. This is such a gift.

5:50 pm

lynxxx

click on the Lickety Add Button Jacq. It will put a small screen up which is where you enter the words. You can move it to where you want by clicking on the blue bar on the top of it and dragging it to where you want it. This will update the word on both Lickety and Babble

5:51 pm

Not a machine. The stock was still hot when it went in the jar and sucked out the air and turned the pop thing inside out

According to the US Dept of Agriculture Meat and Poultry Hotline, you can keep homemade chicken stock in the refrigerator for only about four days; however, you can keep stock in the freezer "essentially forever." (bacteria won't grow in the freezer)

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

:( Pini

11:35 pm

Pinikula

sorry, herin...seeing if there are other opinions

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

No problems.

11:36 pm

Pinikula

A week in the fridge is stretching it - but if you cannot freeze, place in the bottom back of the fridge, this is where it is coldest. Don't depend of sniffing. It will taste slightly "off" about a day before an odor developes at all. When you taste something and your mind says, "does that taste a little different/a little weird?" that is when you toss it. Never use anything you have a question about. It's not worth it. Better to freeze the broth in a small plastic container with a date on a label (although I never remember to date things). Then use it within a couple of months. Let's say 3 months tops.

11:37 pm

herinfernallady

That is were it has been Right at the back as our fridge is freezery

11:37 pm
