wtg grem

12:36 am

gremlinn

looking for it, jilli

12:37 am

gremlinn

oh, yes

12:37 am

gremlinn

looking for Lickety's extra word - that's what I thought you were asking about

12:37 am

jillibus

sam, the et4 is the pl of "a letter in the form of a crossed d, written d or Ã°, used in Old English writing to represent both voiced and unvoiced th and in modern Icelandic and in phonetic alphabets to represent voiced th. " Big help?

12:39 am

gremlinn

Lickety's extra word is either pon5 or pop5, but whatever it is, a2z doesn't have it either - I'll guess ponte

12:39 am

SamanthaJoy

well, you're telling me it's another word for thorn, so I can probably Google that, thanks

12:39 am

rururocks

george lucas would be upset to learn that "wookie" isn't accepted here

12:39 am

gremlinn

nope...

12:39 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I am though, it's a good word!

12:40 am

joshuavorbis

PB for grem

12:40 am

gremlinn

Wookiee

12:40 am

gremlinn

you can't PB me for a word that doesn't work!

12:40 am

gremlinn

oh, I see

12:40 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

gremlin, next time you do that, type a word I don't already have, yeah?? ha!

12:41 am

joshuavorbis

ha, it's the word you said with the elipsis

12:41 am

gremlinn

treetop

12:41 am

Pinikula

Well, grem is finished and I have exactly 35 words...yeah, I'm rollin' right along...NOT!

12:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, like that, gremlin -- ta very much, ha!!

12:41 am

Pinikula

that's one I didn't have!

12:41 am

Pinikula

make that 36

12:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

<< give gremlin all the goodies from the PB!

12:41 am

jillibus

I don't notice any effusive thanks for the def of the et4. Shucks.

12:42 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, I got it! I thought it was a 4/4, for some reason, and it's a thorn with a stroke on the *ascender*, not a wynn--thanks!

12:42 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well I didn't notice any response to my 2 or 3 hello's to you either, so it all evens out? ha!

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

I am thinking the extra word is po 5/20... not sure yet...

12:42 am

gremlinn

Volley - there's a way to decode Lickety's page, but I'm too lazy to work it out

12:43 am

jillibus

I helloed you, George!

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

aww gotcha

12:43 am

gremlinn

it is the po5/20, yes

12:43 am

gremlinn

oh, maybe it's "pooka"

12:43 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

eh? not that I saw, but all right--hello hello!

12:43 am

SamanthaJoy

See, I was going nuts, jillibus, because the thorn is usually written as a stroke on the ascender and is a voiceless fricative for "th", whereas apparently the et is a fricative that was replaced by "dh" and so I was all confused

12:43 am

gremlinn

yep, pooka it was

12:43 am

rururocks

and of course a tot gets in the way of nookie on the board

12:43 am

gremlinn

I was only looking at the top row Ps earlier

12:44 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yjsy

12:44 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oops, ha!

12:44 am

gremlinn

So, enter "pooka" on Lickety's page to get that one out of the way if you want

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

too funny ru lol

12:44 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

fingers over wrong keys, ha ha!!

12:44 am

jillibus

Oh, I quite understand, sam. (I lie)

12:44 am

Pinikula

OK...since I'm rollin' so fast I'm scaring myself...I'd better call it a night...going to the coast in the morning and still have a few things to finish to be ready...

12:44 am

jillibus

ty grem, lol -- I did!

12:44 am

SamanthaJoy

It's all Old English to you, innit?

12:45 am

SamanthaJoy

Goodnight Pinik

12:45 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

nookie would never work if it was there, too good of a word!

12:45 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, innit?

12:45 am

jillibus

ROFL, sam!

12:45 am

gremlinn

"nooky" works though - same thing?

12:45 am

jillibus

I think it DOES work, George!

12:46 am

Pinikula

night all...happy babbling... * poof *

12:46 am

gremlinn

nookie doesn't work

12:46 am

flosey

night Pini

12:46 am

jillibus

night pini

12:47 am

jillibus

pity

12:47 am

SamanthaJoy

"Thorn" is a letter that *used* to be in the English alphabet. It looked kind of like a P where the top stroke continued up. And it was pronounced "th".

12:47 am

SamanthaJoy

And the word dropped out of the English language because the Germans did most of the original printing, and they didn't have such a letter, so they used a capital Y instead.

12:48 am

SamanthaJoy

And *that* is why you have places nowadays that are called "Ye Olde Pizza Parlor" -- because there used to be a letter there where the "Y" is now, and it was pronounced "the", but it looks funny to modern eyes

12:49 am

gremlinn

What's the letter that was used a couple centuries or so ago (and older) that sounded like "s" but looked like a script-ish "f"?

12:49 am

jillibus

Very interesting, Sam -- thanks, seriously.

12:49 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, interesting!!

12:50 am

Jellen

That is interesting, Sam...

12:50 am

jillibus

I think that "f" "s" was based ond the Greek sigma.

12:50 am

gremlinn

(For example, look at an image of the Declaration of Independence and you'll see the letter.)

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

very interesting

12:50 am

gremlinn

Ahh.

12:51 am

gremlinn

Wondering if it had a special "character name".

12:51 am

SamanthaJoy

I knew this group was geeky enough to be interested. :)

12:51 am

Sally-catlover

It was called the long S (not really here so please ignore me)

12:51 am

gremlinn

Ah, thanks.

12:51 am

jillibus

<-- refuses to igonore Sally

12:52 am

jillibus

*ignore

12:52 am

gremlinn

<-- carries Sally around the room on his shoulders

12:52 am

Sally-catlover

Not for the faint-hearted, Grem!

12:52 am

Sally-catlover

Oh all right. Hi everyone just for a moment.

12:52 am

rururocks

*holds sign saying "HERE'S SALLY!"

12:53 am

SamanthaJoy

It's actually just an "s", grem, but it was written that way when it was used in the middle or the beginning of a word--but not at the end.

12:53 am

jillibus

hi saly :)

12:53 am

flosey

hello Sally

12:53 am

Sally-catlover

Psychological question. Why is it that when I come on and say hi, as you do, I get no responses, but when I say please ignore me everyone piles in and does the opposite? :-)

12:54 am

SamanthaJoy

Do y'all read the language log? It's a blog I could see y'all loving, if you don't already know it.

12:54 am

jillibus

sheesh, typo time already

12:54 am

gremlinn

Too busy reading science blogs, heh

12:54 am

SamanthaJoy

In all fairness, sally, we've never met before (uh, hi) so I can't speak to past behavior. :-)

12:54 am

Sally-catlover

I'm not usually here this early :-)

12:54 am

SamanthaJoy

The language log *is* a science blog--it's just not hosted there. Linguistics is a science, though! :-)

12:54 am

gremlinn

Saying "hi" can fly under the radar because it's so prevalent.

12:55 am

jillibus

did you come on earlier, sally? I may have been absent in the kitchen or something

12:55 am

SamanthaJoy

But the language log is hosted on the University of pennsylvania's site, and gremlinn, yo'd adore it.

12:56 am

Sally-catlover

No, have been doing hens and chores outside, thought I would just have a quick look at the grid - as you do - before having a shower and getting dressed. Not yet 7am here :-)

12:56 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Jill, messy?

12:56 am

jillibus

ok George

12:56 am

Sally-catlover

toils

12:56 am

gremlinn

I bookmarked it Samantha, thanks

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

my brother lives in Pittsburgh...isn't U of P there?

12:56 am

rururocks

maybe it's because you aren't dressed yet sally?

12:56 am

Sally-catlover

walk

12:57 am

rururocks

this way

12:57 am

Sally-catlover

Aaah. Sorry everyone. Slinks off to PB.

12:57 am

rururocks

(covers for sally)

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

okay... blind here... hint for sh 5 pretty please... so I can feel dumb

12:57 am

gremlinn

sh + are you **c*lish?

12:58 am

rururocks

yiddish dee

12:59 am

SamanthaJoy

I often see it spelled with a "c", volleymom, and it's a known routine, a usual gag, a stand by, a comedian's sh***

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

aww got it ty ty

1:00 am

Jellen

Could I have stats for the first column/row A, please?

1:00 am

dart001

as 5,18

1:00 am

SamanthaJoy

as 5/18

1:02 am

Jellen

Thanks, still looking...

1:03 am

Jellen

Got it!

1:03 am

SamanthaJoy

AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH I am reading a book while I am here and OMG "throws of ecstacy" are you people kidding me WHEN DID PROOFREADERS GO OUT OF STYLE?

1:05 am

gremlinn

Is this a trick to land me in the PB again?

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

probably about the same time Americans forgot how to use or not use apostrophes

1:05 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

what book is that??

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

lol grem

1:05 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps he hurled her across the room:-)

1:05 am

Jellen

lol, Sally!

1:05 am

gremlinn

Volley: that's one of my biggest language annoyances.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

probably Nora Roberts...

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

when did to 6/21 (pl) become a word?

1:07 am

SamanthaJoy

It's called "Eggplant Voodoo Doll Land" (yes, really) and it was recommended by a friend and I hate it. Note that even "ecstasy" is misspelled.

1:07 am

gremlinn

It may be a verb form.

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

LOL joy

1:08 am

rururocks

is it set in Aubergine Texas?

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

I can't really criticise... misspelled "shake" on a blog the other day...idiot...

1:08 am

Jellen

nbt

1:09 am

SamanthaJoy

It doesn't have anything as mundane as a "setting". it's overwrought "intellekshool letrachoor"

1:09 am

gremlinn

I misspelled "comparative" in here. I noticed it before I got corrected, at least.

1:09 am

SamanthaJoy

Yeah, dee, and if you'd failed to proofread and then published for profit*, I'd lambast you for it, but you just made a typo. :-)

1:09 am

jillibus

all my misspellings are typos, of course

1:09 am

gremlinn

lambaste?

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

lol grem... read so fast you read right over those words... plus you type like a whiz

1:10 am

SamanthaJoy

But I doubt he made a profit. He probably paid to publish. This has "vanity press" written all over it.

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

aww sweet...

1:10 am

Jellen

definitely is troublesome for many folks, too...

1:10 am

gremlinn

Ah, either way.

1:10 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well is it misspelling or mistyping, though? I do a lot of the latter, a bit of the former -- it happens!!

1:11 am

gremlinn

"defiantly"?

1:11 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I'm sure a lot of folk who read my Twitter page think I'm illiterate at times, ha! when I'm tired I can't type for toffee

1:11 am

SamanthaJoy

Firefox and Chrome underline all my egregious misspellings, but they won't help with defiantly vs. definitely.

1:11 am

Jellen

"definately"

1:12 am

rururocks

what's the point of having a twitter page George?

1:12 am

jillibus

my dear hubby couldn't spell at all. Put "lelace" on a shopping list. I asked what that was and he giggled a bit and said "um, lettuce" rather sheepishly. He's even forgotten to cross the t. So now I always write "lelace" on my shopping list when I need the stuff.

1:12 am

SamanthaJoy

. . . "can't type for toffee"? That's an AWESOME phrase! I've never heard that before.

1:12 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

big bugaboo of mine -- 'definately', see that one a lot! you can't be 'definate' can ya? ha!!

1:12 am

jillibus

Oh boy I hate that too, George!

1:13 am

gremlinn

Helps to link it to the word "finite" in your head.

1:13 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

the point, ru, is that I'm sorta expected to so I do, otherwise I wouldn't bloody bother, cos all you can do is post status updates -- which I find a bit stupid! if anyone cares that much what I might be thinking or doing at any given time, they need to get a life!!

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

another is seperate... in lieu of separate

1:13 am

rururocks

<has never misspelled definitely

1:13 am

gremlinn

A number of typos is annoying!

1:13 am

SamanthaJoy

Some people I know use them to be funny at other folks, but I'm not that clever.

1:13 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, gremlinn, so I wonder what those folk are thinking, who type or write 'definately'??

1:14 am

Sally-catlover

Have always been curious. How do people find your twitter page, George?

1:14 am

gremlinn

Volley: yeah, the spelling of "desperate" probably worsens that one.

1:14 am

jillibus

No, no, I don't mean yours in particular. Should rephrase. I have never gone to Twitter, have never seen anyone's Twitter page. So how do people find any particular Twitter page?

As long as he doesn't write "Danielle"...

I think they're just spelling it the way they pronounce it, grem.

Yeah, probably.

Sally, there's an option, if you go to twitter.com, to search for people my actual name, handle, or email address.

1:16 am

LOL grem... he never had phonics... just plain cannot spell... lucky he has a secretary ... even misses some things when he is diligent with spell check

what does it mean, Christine?

1:42 am

Christine

Zenzizenzizenzic
The zenzizenzizenzic of a number is its eighth power. This term was suggested by Robert Recorde, a 16th century Welsh writer of popular mathematics textbooks, in his work The Whetstone of Witte, published in 1557, although his spelling was zenzizenzizenzike .

The word is obsolete except as a curiosity; the Oxford English Dictionary has only one citation for it. It survives as a historical oddity.

The word dates from a time when there was no easy way of denoting the powers of numbers other than squares and cubes. Its root word is the German zenzic , from the medieval Italian censo , meaning "squared." Since the square of a square of a number is its fourth power, Recorde used the word zenzizenzic (spelt by him as zenzizenzike ) to express it. This is a condensed form of the Italian censo di censo , used by Leonardo of Pisa in his famous book Liber Abaci of 1202. Similarly, as the sixth power of a number is equal to the square of its cube, Recorde used the word zenzicubike (a more modern spelling, zenzicube , is found in Samuel Jeake's Logisticelogia) to express it. Finally, the word zenzizenzizenzic denotes the square of the square of a number's square, which is its eighth power.

Zenzizenzizenzic has more Zs than any other word in the English language.

My pet peeve is where people add a "k" to the end of everything and anything ie. everythink

I sometimes resort to playing on the iPhone, and it's the same there, but I think I can see the chog, but it's a nuisance to join in. Dr-G is reportedly going to have iPad compatibility in the new version, so presumably you are using Safari atm but will be able to play direct.

Pleased about the fish ruby. Do the nets detract from the pond at all?

Wondering if they would help to keep the blanket weed down. It's always a problem at this time of year cos of the wildlife, can't just hoik it out.

3:00 am

Saturday breakfast, my favorite

3:00 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Kazzer. If you ever want anyone to look after the iPad for you ...

3:00 am

rubyfoo

I don't know about blanket weed. Is it like duck weed?

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

No, not like duck weed. Like a thick green blanket :-(

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

Comes out in huge swathes like felt.

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

But the little frogs and newts come with it at this time of year.

3:03 am

rubyfoo

we don't have that, maybe the pond is too small. We also don't have any newts or frogs, have seen one toad in 12 years!

3:03 am

Sally-catlover

Just found my missing N words - can't think how I missed them:-)

3:05 am

Sally-catlover

Because it's a wildlife pond, there's a lot of silt in the bottom. I have cleared out the little ones a couple of times, but can't do the big one on my own and it's a major job and well overdue. It was planned for last year but OH was poorly. We hope perhaps in the autumn. Anyway, the blanketweed uses the nutrients from the silt so that will help when we have cleared it. Horrible job though, not looking forward to it, but hasn't been done in 7 years.

3:07 am

rubyfoo

husband puts on waders to clean ours, but it is pretty small. And now that the fish aren't fearful any more, they nibble on him and he loves it. The only danger is that the bottom is slimy and he fell once, bringing down the fountain in the middle. Fortunately, the handyman was here or he would have drowned when his waders filled with water.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

was yours a natural pond, already on the property?

3:09 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, he shouldn't do it if no-one else is there. Ours is about 20 ft diameter I think, and about 3-4 ft deep in the middle, so you can get to the middle with waders but I wouldn't, and OH should not do that now. We will have to partly empty it.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

Does it have high sides or is it into the ground?

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I stood there, helplessly looking on. There would have been no way I could get him out!

3:11 am

Sally-catlover

No, we had it dug to look natural: <http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk/im
ages/image17.html> in its raw state. All grown up now of course!

3:11 am

Sally-catlover

Sloping sides ruby, so creatures can get in and out. Has sand then blanket then butyl as bottom surface.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

the dogs hang over the sides and drink from it, but as nonw-swimmers, they would be at rish if they could just walk in. I'll bet chows are the only dogs that can't swim

3:13 am

rubyfoo

risk*

3:15 am

Sally-catlover

True ruby, but with sloping sides they could walk out! Our cats drink from the ponds but have never fallen in. They sometimes wonder why their tails are wet, though! Look really puzzled.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

I would worry with Max who always look slightly puzzled anyway....

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

3:16 am

he loves the pond water, I guess it taste more interesting than the clean water in his bowl

Yes - just looking one up.

3:41 am

they must be some that I haven't found yet. There was some doozies yesterday

3:42 am

Haz1558

Yes, I used the blessed resource of morewords more than once yesterday.

3:43 am

lynxxx

excuse my terrible English

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Dictionary.com and a few other resources can't even find the pr7/32 Iwas looking for. (sound like small female non-amateur!)

3:43 am

Yes, not your usual standard, lynxxx.

3:45 am

lynxxx

TY Sally

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

lol, so do you know what it actually means?

3:47 am

Haz1558

I suppose enable gives a definition?

3:48 am

lynxxx

a female professional athlete

3:49 am

lynxxx

there is an image of a topless female golfer, not sure what profession she is in

3:49 am

Sally-catlover

rofl! So I wasn't far wrong!

3:50 am

She'd have goosepimples if she played on some courses over here.

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Don't have enable so couldn't look.

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps that's what they mean by playing into the rough.

3:55 am

Haz1558

There's something deeply wrong about a dictionary that doesn't accept 'witter'. It must not have ever listened to people rambling on endlessly about things.

3:55 am

Sally-catlover

I so agree Haz, tried it as well.

3:56 am

Haz1558

It describes it so perfectly. Do you use 'witter' in Australia, lynxxx or are all your conversations riveting?

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

Wonder if it would allow "refudiate"?

3:58 am

lynxxx

ours are wittier of course

3:58 am

Haz1558

Of course. No wittering for the witty.

4:00 am

Kateq

I have one word left--according to Babble it's a 7 letter P word--I've looked at the list and it seems to be a po 5/20. Can anyone help? TIA

4:00 am

Haz1558

It's a plural for the piggy meat.

4:00 am

lynxxx

Sally has a pr7.32 for you Kateq

4:01 am

Haz1558

Or could it be the illegal liquor - po7/32?

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

According to earlier chog there is a P word in lickety which is not in the grid.

4:02 am

Kateq

I have that, Haz. On the list it is po 5, 5, 20, 6, 5, 9, 20. It's the first 5/20 I'm missing. I have your tarty golfer

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

My definition: pr7/32: small female non-amateur

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

It doesn't exist, Kateq. I have al the Ps. It is pooka, but not allowed in the grid.

4:03 am

Kateq

Thanks, Sally--then it must be a p 7--tho I have the female non-amateur

4:03 am

Kateq

and the Irish liquor

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

I have the illicit drink, and the gas.

4:04 am

lynxxx

there is 2 ways to spell the irish hooch

4:04 am

lynxxx

is/are!

4:04 am

Haz1558

po7/32 - a sign of things to come.

4:04 am

Kateq

yes--a 6 and a 7

4:05 am

lynxxx

ah, TY Haz

4:05 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:07 am

Kateq

aha--my missing word was the pr 7 gas---many thanks, everyone. Spent a fair amount of time hunting for the phantom po 5/20 from the list

4:07 am

tried pl5.14 as a laugh - it worked! (noise you make when you dive in less s)

Yes, indeed - some unpacking done and the room customised to her liking.

4:23 am

FMitch

HAve you got used to her being around too?

4:24 am

Haz1558

Yes and no. I have to stop and think before setting the table - 'how many are we?'

4:25 am

FMitch

I am sure!

4:26 am

FMitch

How goes the grid today as I am about to launch into it?

4:26 am

Haz1558

It's interesting, takes a bit of working at.

4:27 am

FMitch

Ah I will bear that in mind but as I am having a lazy day today I shan't rush it.

4:28 am

FMitch

Wonder how Ata got on in London yesterday.

4:28 am

Haz1558

It's a good grid for a day when you don't have to be anywhere in particular.

4:28 am

Haz1558

What was happening in London? I must have missed out on the news.

4:29 am

FMitch

She was going to the zoo to take some photos and meet up with friends. Hope her knee was up to it.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, of course, I remember now.

4:30 am

Haz1558

I remember her saying about it, just hadn't taken in the date. She's very brave to venture forth with a leg not quite healed.

4:31 am

FMitch

mmm I know, we will have to wait and see.

4:32 am

FMitch

Back shortly, coffee time.

4:33 am

o-o

Hello, sandy

5:49 am

Sally-catlover

*drags sandy out of lurk mode, screaming*

5:50 am

sandyloo

'resists and stays lurking'

5:50 am

sandyloo

hmm ok no more lurking

5:50 am

sandyloo

bab and sally

5:51 am

sandyloo

are you having a nice weekend? its very cold here

5:51 am

sandyloo

better than very hot

5:51 am

Sally-catlover

Much much cooler here today, very dull and grey.

5:52 am

sandyloo

I love dull grey days, it has rained here 4 times since xmas and it is the middle of winter

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

When do you plan to start building your house, sandy?

5:54 am

sandyloo

we are working on the plans (with architect daughter) but we must sell our house first to get out of debt and have cash to build

5:55 am

sandyloo

funny tho - the planned house is getting smaller - has come down from 'grand design' LOL

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, we had to sell ours and rent to fund the build.

5:56 am

Sally-catlover

Some friends have done what I think you are doing. They have bought derelict cottage, built a large garage which they are living in (the cabin) while they build the house.

5:56 am

sandyloo

we will stay in the shed for the build of course lol - the shed has a bathroom, a big kitchen, computer, tv, etc and we have two transportable bedrooms

5:56 am

sandyloo

amazingly easy to live in

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

You won't want to leave it - think of all the housework!

5:57 am

sandyloo

shed is 12 metres long by 9 metres wide

5:57 am

sandyloo

you know sally, I am terrified of the housework - I want the new house to be like a magazine clean house - and I know I can't cut the mustard!

5:58 am

sandyloo

Maybe we can stay in the shed and go to the house when all you foreign babblers come to stay

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

I figure people come to visit us, not to see how clean the house is. It's a home, not a magazine! We did tidy up for some professional photos though.

5:59 am

sandyloo

is it in a magazine?

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

Was featured in a newspaper.

6:00 am

sandyloo

must be a lovely house then!

6:01 am

sandyloo

have you been there long?

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

I had to laugh at the time. The kitchen was immaculate - nothing on the worktops. First thing they did was get a cookery book and put it nonchalantly down on the worktop!

6:02 am

Sally-catlover

Been here 8 years, took a year to build before that and we first saw the land a year before that. Seems a lifetime ago.

6:02 am

sandyloo

its rural isn't it? how much land do you have?

6:02 am

sandyloo

I love your icon photo

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

I think the cat (Daisy) is saying to Lulu (the Light Sussex), "you have to lay what?"

6:04 am

sandyloo

Our chooks have stopped laying at the moment, I miss our lovely eggs- we need some new chooks since the three best layers ran away when husband got some Roosters (gone to god now) who pack rogered them

6:05 am

Sally-catlover

lol, we have two new ones who have been hammered by the rooster before they came to us. Still desperately trying to grow their feathers back.

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

Ours can't run away: (a) they are large and can't fly much and (b) we now have electric netting because of the foxes. (Very large area, so very expensive, but stlll free range)

6:06 am

sandyloo

we usually get 'rescue chooks' from the battery and it was the featherless one that appealed to the roosters! they left the more attractive ones well alone

6:07 am

sandyloo

ours wander about during the day and are locked into a large chookpen at night which has wire on the floor the sides and the roof to stop the foxes

6:07 am

Sally-catlover

Well, how can I put this delicately - if they are featherless it's easier for the roosters to, um, see what they're doing. Ours have totally bald bums but I suspect the breeder had plucked them (Orpingtons, so normally rather fluffy knickers).

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

Sadly our hens were taken by daytime foxes.

6:08 am

sandyloo

wow I am amazed at that, no foxes come here during the day - the creepy cruel things come only at night

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

Used to be so here, but I think they are getting less scared. They were taken at 11.30-12 in the morning. I was here at the time and able to rescue one.

6:09 am

sandyloo

before we covered the roof they were able to climb over the 6 foot wire fence and rip the heads off and then leave - they are evil

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, ours have a fox-proof inner run with weldmesh on the roof, and a mesh skirt round so they can't dig from the outside. But that's only 4 metres x 4 metres, so they need more space during the day. However, in a power cut I could leave them in there safely. They would just be a bit bored!

6:12 am

sandyloo

do you have a dog?

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

No, just the two cats.

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

A dog would be useful against a fox I think.

6:12 am

sandyloo

the dogs here would not allow any on our property but at night they are wrapped in their blankets sleeping by the fire

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

brb

6:13 am

sandyloo

what about a couple of geese? I would get some but I am scared of them

6:16 am

FMitch

I cooked a goose one Christmas :) and it came out so well.
Greetings you two.

6:17 am

sandyloo

hi mitch, I have never cooked goose, is it like duck?

6:18 am

FMitch

Yes but not quite so rich and it is so easy to cook unlike turkey and comes out goldne brown and moist.

6:18 am

FMitch

drool, drool.

6:18 am

sandyloo

mmmm I actually dont really like turkey

6:19 am

sandyloo

have you tasted 'foie gras' we can't buy it here?

6:19 am

FMitch

Only draw back is that they are v expensive here. I dislike turkey with a vengance.

Yes I have as a child in Paris but would not eat it now.

6:21 am

sandyloo

I think it is a cruel process, but I would like to try it just once

6:21 am

FMitch

Haz was right, this grid takes some working at.

6:21 am

sandyloo

yes , I never have understood why turkey is so 'fabulous'

6:22 am

Sally-catlover

Back. I don't think I've ever tasted goose. I do like turkey, but we get ours from a farm and they are unlike any turkey in the shops.

6:22 am

hurshy

ben franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird of america.

6:22 am

Sally-catlover

I love duck, but I'm not very good at cooking it.

6:22 am

sandyloo

I agree but I have plenty of time tonight, waiting for everyone to sleep so I can watch my recorded Tour

6:23 am

sandyloo

I love duck, and I too need more practice cooking it

6:23 am

hurshy

but he was outvoted.

6:23 am

FMitch

I think the mass breeding for Christmas has something to do with it as they rarely taste of anything really unless you buy from a local producer/supplier.

6:23 am

sandyloo

I am about to cook Nigella Lawson's Anglo Italian Trifle which I am taking to a friend's place for lunch tomorrow

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

mmm, trifle.

6:24 am

sandyloo

you are probably right mitch

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

Why Anglo Italian? Part tiramisu?

6:24 am

sandyloo

its actually an up market version of trifle done with Limoncello and blackberries

6:25 am

FMitch

Hi hurshy!

Oh you can't go wrong with duck preheat over on high. place bird on trivet in deep pan, stick skewer into it all over and shove in oven for 20 mins, then turn down and slow cook for about 2 1/2 hrs (for a 2kg bird).

6:25 am

sandyloo

you can google it (the trifle)

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

Drool. Do you get wild blackberries in Oz as we do here?

6:26 am

FMitch

duck or goose fat is perfect for cooking roast potatoes in.

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

I will sandyloo. ty for duck recipe FM.

6:26 am

sandyloo

we do get wild blackberries here but they are not as good or as prolific - you have to search them out in the bush in our south west

6:27 am

FMitch

Sally I can email you the details, its from Delias ancient 'complete cookery' book.

6:27 am

Sally-catlover

Can't beat eating blackberries from the bush.

6:27 am

sandyloo

mitch......sorry to be ignorant...but what is a trivet?

6:27 am

Sally-catlover

I have Delia - will go and check.

6:28 am

FMitch

I am contemplating going to one of those pick your own farms tomorrow.

6:28 am

FMitch

a rack - to keep the bird out of the fat that it exudes.

6:29 am

hurshy

trivets can also be smaller and used as spoon-rests

6:29 am

FMitch

true hursh.

6:29 am

hurshy

i have one on my stove for that purpose that i inherited from my mom

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

Got the recipe - thanks for the tip.

6:29 am

FMitch

trivet is a multi meaning and mutifunctional word.

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

Trivet is a good word to find in Babble.

6:29 am

hurshy

plus it sounds nice

6:30 am

hurshy

it's so compact

6:30 am

sandyloo

ha ha but what is it for the duck recipe?

6:30 am

sandyloo

sorry I see now

6:30 am

FMitch

oh good Sally - do give it a go as it has worked for me every time over the years. One thing I do is uncover the duck in the fridge the day before cooking as it helps dry the skin out.

6:30 am

sandyloo

ok I have a trivet I will try it

6:30 am

Sally-catlover

Sometimes when you buy a roasting tin in the UK, it comes complete with its own trivet which fits it properly.

6:32 am

sandyloo

same here Sally

6:32 am

FMitch

*blush* just remembered the time I cooked a duck and forgot to take out the plastic bag in the cavity with the giblets etc in it. DH never let me forget that.

6:33 am

sandyloo

I am going to cook a duck during the week- do you have a good stuffing mitch?

6:33 am

FMitch

Never stuff a duck as it will absorb too much fat - cook it separately.

6:34 am

sandyloo

aah, my mum has a great recipe for orange sauce I will use that

6:34 am

Soodle

Hi everybody. FM, your giblets story reminds me of a friend, who was cooking her first Christmas dinner, and to make things easier, she had both the turkey and ham boned and rolled. Except, she boiled the turkey and roasted the ham....

6:35 am

FMitch

ROFL Soodle!

6:35 am

sandyloo

lol

6:35 am

Sally-catlover

Delia suggests (still have the book open!) making sage and onion stuffing balls and serving them separately.

6:35 am

FMitch

oh that is funny Soodle.

6:36 am

sandyloo

I am copying and pasting all suggestions into a word document to save in my recipe file (how incredibly computer literate!)

6:37 am

sandyloo

have to go and serve dinner now bbl

6:37 am

FMitch

My Godmother gave me that Delia cookery book when I seft home and it was my bible for many years and I still refer to it now and again esp for cooking times and temps.

6:37 am

FMitch

TTFN sandy

6:38 am

Sally-catlover

I have a 1966 Good Housekeeping book given to me on my first marriage, and I still use it for some things. very old-fashioned otherwise! My real bible now is the Reader's

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

Digest Cookery Year - sorry don't know what happened then.

6:39 am

FMitch

the Reader's ..... ah, was wondering.

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

Think my pinkie hit the enter key :-)

6:40 am

FMitch

I use the internet a great deal for suggestions and ideas these days.

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I often look at Delia online.

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

Think my worst disaster was when I tried to make hash browns, and I froze some. When I came to cook them from frozen, they just melted.

6:42 am

oh Nef! but being around little ones is good for us!

8:31 am

Nef

Annie, he's not good at all. It's like he can't think all of a sudden; his eyesight hasn't come back and he's fallen several times again; all in the past 3 days.

8:31 am

m9f9l

I'm sorry to hear that Nef!

8:31 am

Anniebrook

Nef, I am so sorry to hear that.

8:32 am

Nef

And I had clinic for 2 of those days.

8:34 am

Nef

Thanks. Sorry, I'm trying not to whine. The "good" news is that our mentally ill DIL is in the hospital; but this is our son's heavy season so he's working 12-16 hours/day --which is why we're going to have our 14 month old grandson a lot for about a month

8:35 am

m9f9l

wow Nef. that's a lot on your plate..

8:35 am

Nef

Any ideas of how to do this would be appreciated! :-)

8:35 am

Anniebrook

Oh Nef, please talk all you want..it is not easy for you. Do you have some outside help?

8:36 am

You are an inspiration to us all Nef.

mcdonald's playland. ;-)

8:40 am

m9f9l

if you have laptop you can babble there. they have wifi

8:41 am

Nef

I LOVE kids; having had a crazy mother, he's pretty easy to take care of (he's been delightful, just clingy); it's DH that's a handful because I can't trust him. His 85 y/o Aunt Jean (the one who broke both wrists last fall and stayed with us and helped me play Babble for a while) has been with DH watching Ronnie for my clinic days; but last eve she said that DH is more of a problem (other than having to hold baby Ron all day).

8:41 am

m9f9l

call the local lds bishop and tell him your situation and does he know any young women who need service hours cause you can't pay. I bet you get help pretty quickly!

8:43 am

Nef

Will they try to "convert" me, m9? I really don't have any money; but am Catholic and don't know anything about lds

8:44 am

m9f9l

oh we're always hopeful!LOL But service has no conversion as a requirement.

rururocks

gm Bobster

9:22 am

Anniebrook

hello mr bob

9:22 am

Nancy Boy

Oh, what a shame, Annie. Hopefully, that'll make some things easier, at least - if her DIL can get any help she needs

9:24 am

Anniebrook

She has more than her share.

9:25 am

EspritdJean

jeez sounds like it

9:28 am

Anniebrook

anyone have a clue for either pr7/32 or pr 7/36 ?

9:29 am

Nancy Boy

oh man, Frank and I rented Poltergeist to watch this afternoon - only like 20 minutes in but I'm scared already..

9:29 am

cbr1965

pr* + female ending is pr7/32 and the other sounds like what you use to cook on a gas grill with one vowel changed.

9:30 am

Anniebrook

thanks, cbr

9:31 am

EspritdJean

NB have you ever seen The Exorcist (original)

9:31 am

9:32 am

Nancy Boy

hey, Jmc! How's Kenya?

9:32 am

EspritdJean

I really like Drag Me to Hell (more recent)

9:32 am

Anniebrook

Hi jmc! How was your trip?

9:33 am

jmcnrick

good i gave a whole speech in swahili today

9:33 am

cbr1965

Drag Me to Hell was good. Did you like Zombieland?

9:33 am

jmcnrick

still in keny annie but the internet gods are being kind to me

9:33 am

EspritdJean

jambo jmc, habari gani?

9:34 am

jmcnrick

nsouri esprit (i probably spelled that wrong)

9:35 am

Nancy Boy

Didn't see Drag Me to Hell - haven't actually been to the cinema in a long time. Saw Avatar though. What a waste of my life that was!Â¬

9:35 am

EspritdJean

msouri maybe

9:35 am

EspritdJean

have to check my notes :-)

9:36 am

jmcnrick

probably -- the spelling still alludes me so i don't always have quite the right sounds

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all!

9:36 am

jmcnrick

my speech was asante sana marafiki wangu

9:37 am

jmcnrick

*waves madly at TO* hi!

9:37 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl

9:37 am

EspritdJean

I got the asante sana part

9:37 am

EspritdJean

marafiki wangu sounds a little obscene tho ;-p

9:37 am

jmcnrick

thank you very much my Friends

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

hey jmc! where are you?/ hi annie!

9:38 am

jmcnrick

rafiki=friend -- marfiki means friends

9:38 am

jmcnrick

9:38 am

EspritdJean

I so want to go to africa again

9:38 am

jmcnrick

*marafiki

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, going well i hope

9:39 am

jmcnrick

where did you go? east africa obviously with the swahili

9:39 am

EspritdJean

TZ

9:39 am

jmcnrick

I am having a good time and learning swahili

9:39 am

EspritdJean

have been to Mauritius too, but they mostly speak hindi

9:39 am

jmcnrick

I went to TZ for about a week with my son.

9:40 am

jmcnrick

my hindi sucks :-D

9:40 am

EspritdJean

did u love TZ? where did u go?

9:41 am

jmcnrick

just dar past the penesula where my TZ friends live and then over to the luscious zanzibar

9:41 am

jmcnrick

my friends taught me mungo wango! (my God!)

9:41 am

EspritdJean

Zanzibar is def. on my short list!

9:42 am

jmcnrick

I would have stayed in zanzibar longer but you have to have cash and they take no credit cards :-(

9:42 am

jmcnrick

saw the black and white dolphins and my son swam with them

9:42 am

EspritdJean

you could sell your body? ;-p

9:43 am

jmcnrick

pb for me :-( *checks for a beer in the fridge*

9:43 am

jmcnrick

lol no one would want my body not even in africa where plump is okay!

9:43 am

EspritdJean

I have swum with belugas whales in Hudson Bay

9:44 am

jmcnrick

oddest thing I have seen so far: we went to a village on zanzibar where they were having there annual celebration

9:44 am

jmcnrick

what they do is the northern villagers and the southern villagers break into teams

9:45 am

jmcnrick

then they do running marches around the village square chanting that they are going to win and they are the champions and such swinging banana tree branches and ropes made from banana leafs. . .

9:47 am

EspritdJean

well, if nobody is naked, I am not interested

9:47 am

EspritdJean

;-]

9:47 am

crosshair

good morning..and who is neeked?

9:48 am

jmcnrick

eventually they square off and spar only sometimes instead of two people fighting a bunch do and it is a melee

9:48 am

jmcnrick

[should have known crossy would show up at naked] *looks for ruru and torg*

9:48 am

EspritdJean

did u go to the spice farm?

9:49 am

jmcnrick

eventually the village elders build a branch house and a man goes inside and sets it on fire and stays inside

9:49 am

Nancy Boy

Morning, Crossy :)

9:49 am

crosshair

howdy nb

9:49 am

jmcnrick

it was in a huge blaze before he came out

9:50 am

jmcnrick

no ran out of money :-(

9:50 am

jmcnrick

but none of that was the oddest part

9:51 am

jmcnrick

several did it in drag

9:51 am

EspritdJean

wow that sounds crazy!

9:51 am

Nancy Boy

No stranger than what you see in the streets round where I live, Jmc.

9:52 am

Anniebrook

something you would see on National Georgraphic

9:52 am

Nancy Boy

Tho without the fire, admittedly...

9:52 am

EspritdJean

well, maybe the drag part, but the burning hut NB>??

9:52 am

jmcnrick

doing that in a country where they jail and kill gay guys? a lot crazier than london

9:53 am

Nancy Boy

I see your point ;) so the drag is personal preference and not part of anything ceremonial, then? If I was going to stand in a burning hut, I wouldn't wear anything I really wanted to keep ;)

9:54 am

jmcnrick

okay i can understand no "pook" but no "poot"

9:55 am

jmcnrick

mostof them just wore a dress but one guy wore a bra and a wig and no one would run with him

9:55 am

Anniebrook

and not woot

9:55 am

jmcnrick

woot woot!

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

well that is the point, they are pretending. it's ok for guys to do that. we had a bunch of marines who did that at a barbacue party they sponsored. it's a macho thing

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

i must say i wish i was a fly on the wall when they went to a local store to try on their dresses. i belive they got a bit of a repromand for that.

9:57 am

Hello Nancy Boy! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

Nancy Boy

I'm scared Min ;) watching Poltergeist..

10:36 am

jmcnrick

i don't know NB I wish there was!

10:37 am

Minveryork

Oh, I cannot watch scary movies like that.I'm a wimp when it comes to scary films. Even thrillers scare me.

10:37 am

jmcnrick

probably Dr. God thought he was safe in assuming not too many babblers there (yet!)

10:38 am

Nancy Boy

argh bro, why is he pulling his face off?!?!

10:38 am

Nancy Boy

I don't blame you Min, this film is GROSS. I'm a wimp too, but taking refuge in staring at my computer screen instead/wimpering into my flatmate's shoulder...how manly.

10:39 am

jmcnrick

well done NB! lol

10:39 am

Minveryork

So is it just as hot in Kenya as it has been in D.C. and the whole east coast?. I hope that you are having fun

10:40 am

jmcnrick

no it is winter here and by winter I mean it drops down to 65 at night some times

10:40 am

Minveryork

Well at least you are with someone. I don't even dare watch those kinds of films with someone else in room.

10:41 am

jmcnrick

I have crossed the equator 3 times in 4 weeks

10:42 am

jmcnrick

I rarely watch scary movies . . . I couldn't even watch Signs as one of the Babblers recommended to me *puts on foil cap to protect from bad thoughts*

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

later everyone!

10:43 am

Minveryork

Then you picked a great time to go to Kenya since it has been so miserable here w/the humidity!NYC hit a record this year w/it being the hottest July ever. It has gotten up to the 90s thirteen days this year and the month is not even over yet.It will definitely be in the 90s again today and next week jmcnrick.

10:43 am

Nancy Boy

I love scary films, but I'm very easily freaked out by them. I usually end up dug into a kind of fort between the sofa cushions.

10:43 am

11:25 am

jmcnrick

puleese!

11:26 am

redturtlehead

No really jmc, I am a bit too fat right now, I do not like to be seen in public at all....It's a byproduct of injury, coming off, but slow like.

11:31 am

ren8

11:31 am

11:31 am

jmcnrick

it to** me a while too ren I wish I had a better clue

11:31 am

Kalyn

lol

11:31 am

redturtlehead

I think it will work out. Since his sister and I are very good friends, and he and sister are very close the three of us are all very much alike. so I am not too worried, but I am feeling like a plump chicken.

11:31 am

jmcnrick

must let the cats in there seems to be a storm coming

11:31 am

Minveryork

I am back from walking dog. Now I think I should not have done that. Dog was about collapse upon return.

11:32 am

redturtlehead

and can I admit that I don't care too much if it doesn't? (I know its wrong, but I like my life right now anyway...)

11:32 am

redturtlehead

too hot minver?

11:33 am

Minveryork

He wobbled into the house and then did not have the strength to go up the stairs. I had to carry Jack up.

11:33 am

helensgirlkid

ren- think of the cooking gas you get in tanks - then change the next last vowel.

11:33 am

Nancy Boy

lol Red, on the contrary, I'd say that's a very healthy view to have!

11:33 am

Kalyn

*agree*

11:33 am

Minveryork

Looked at thermometer when I got back & it read 98

11:34 am

reparteena

(lurking)...Min --dogs can get heat stoke in as little as 15 min. do b careful with your furry friend!!

11:34 am

redturtlehead

I really was not looking for anything, but Sister got us connected via the running thing ( he runs as well) and then we started talking...and then...

11:34 am

redturtlehead

Oh minver! thats too hot for a lot of creatures!

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds like it has potential, red

11:34 am

Minveryork

I become a little obsessed about making sure he gets his exercise. Hubby gets mad. I over do it sometimes.

11:35 am

redturtlehead

like I said, I just don't really care. I am trying to get excited. but it's nice either way...

11:35 am

reparteena

put a damp towel around his neck.

11:36 am

redturtlehead

LOL, there are two conversations going on here. I am thinking WHY would I put a damp towel around this guys neck...

11:36 am

Minveryork

I do admit, walk was a bad idea. Sorry redturtlehead!

11:36 am

Nancy Boy

I wish I could feel like that, Red!

11:36 am

reparteena

hahaha! me too!

11:36 am

Minveryork

LOL redturtlehead!

11:37 am

redturtlehead

Its ok, Minver, I think now that you are inside the dog can cool off and no harm done. I often end up with that problem with Teulu, and he begs to go out...

11:37 am

redturtlehead

nancy, I am older than you. I don't know why but I just don't get so worried about if someone is going to "like" me or what not. Now I just do my own thing.

11:37 am

Rhondabe

11:38 am

jmcnrick

I cared when I was your age NB but now I don't

11:38 am

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

11:40 am

Minveryork

The po5/20 word is plural of po 4/9 chops ikdubb & hi

11:40 am

jmcnrick

okay so the webpage you signed up for is a match site TO?

11:40 am

redturtlehead

I think thats why I never went in for the onl ine sites because I am pretty happy being on my own.

11:40 am

Nancy Boy

11:43 am

11:51 am

jmcnrick

11:51 am

redturtlehead

11:51 am

jmcnrick

12:08 pm

jmcnrick

i am glad things are improving

12:08 pm

Riverdance

its been a tough month since you have been away

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

i am sorry i didn't know to hold you and your son in the Light! But it looks like things are going well now?

12:10 pm

Riverdance

what is happening

12:12 pm

Riverdance

in kenya

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

right now i am sitting in a house that is bolted and gated and locked to the brim and a guard is sitting on my porch (to avoid the thunderstorm) --- another normal night in Kenya

12:14 pm

Riverdance

yikes - I would be terrified all the time

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

but earlier today I gave a speech in swahili -- i was so proud

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

i think i would be less scared if they didn't do all of this

12:14 pm

Riverdance

impressive jmc - what was it about

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

i think it is left over from the post election violence

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

it was a sentence long -- asante sana marifiki wangu

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

thank you my friends

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

actually thank you very much

12:16 pm

Riverdance

*standing with a round of applause*

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

*curtsies*

12:17 pm

Riverdance

I must get back to my chores - have a great day everyone - stay safe jmc

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

the kenyans and tanzanians were all impressed since almost none of the other mzungu (europeans) bother to try to learn swahili

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

but it seems basic to know how to say thank you in the country in which you are traveling

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

hang in there river and no worries about me!

12:18 pm

Riverdance

that is so true everywhere - congratulation to you for trying - and yes most especially thank you

m9f9l

hmmm... you're meeting someplace public, right?

3:31 pm

redturtlehead

3:31 pm

m9f9l

oh good!

3:31 pm

m9f9l

that's sweet~!

3:31 pm

Bugsaw

relax red and have a great time!

3:31 pm

Jellen

Hi, NB!

3:31 pm

redturtlehead

he is not just some guy from the internet, though we do a lot of email chatting last week...and I would have been happy to continue to do that...

3:32 pm

redturtlehead

His sister does not know!

3:32 pm

Nancy Boy

hi, Jellen! How are you? :)

3:32 pm

m9f9l

hmmm....how do you KNOW he's her brother then....

3:32 pm

Jellen

I'm fine, NB...you?

3:32 pm

m9f9l

3:33 pm

3:34 pm

Nancy Boy

I can't complain Jellen, though I can't wait for this evening to be over - I'm on my break at work, gonna be stuck here till 3am. Yawn!

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

Yeah well, we shall see. I am very insecure. I was trying to find a date and he finally said, you know, I really do have a big crush on you...

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

He seems nice. She is nice so it stands to reason.

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

My only sadness is that he is a vegetarian.

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

I occasionally enjoy meat and fish.

3:34 pm

Bugsaw

I met my husband thru mutual friends. No one had any idea we would spark so well

3:34 pm

m9f9l

don't be sad..that means odds are very high that he's a good cook!

3:35 pm

Bugsaw

It is just so much nicer when he comes with recommendations

3:35 pm

3:36 pm

Bugsaw

I am sorry I missed your birthday NB but I was not near a computer that day.

3:36 pm

Minveryork

I also met my husband on a blind date. We had mutual friends as well. He was friends with my girlfriend's BF.

3:36 pm

Nancy Boy

Well Red, just because he is a vegetarian that doesn't mean you have to abstain from meat. I'm a vegan, my flatmate's a vegetarian so he eats eggs, dairy etc, and loads of my friends eat meat...

3:36 pm

redturtlehead

Happy belatd B day Nancy!!!!!!!!

3:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Just 27 days, Wild! Can't think about it without getting serious butterflies.

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

I think it should be interesting. I'm sort of ambivalent and he seems not to be so this is interesting.

3:40 pm

wildcat17

sounds like someone needs an updated image of herself

3:40 pm

Bugsaw

I second that m9!

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

NB, what are you rplans for your trip??

3:40 pm

wildcat17

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

yes, its a 2 hour drive for dinner though. thats a lot.

3:42 pm

Nancy Boy

Basically Red, since my parents told the rest of my family that I'm dead, I'm going to go prove that actually, I'm, er...not!

3:43 pm

wildcat17

I once had a guy travel 9 hours to see me for a date

3:43 pm

redturtlehead

So that should be interesting NB, I hope it goes well, and that you enjoy it while there, some good eats for certain.

3:43 pm

wildcat17

you're worth it red. update that self-image

3:43 pm

Nancy Boy

Wow, Wild!

3:43 pm

wildcat17

boy won't they all be surprised nance!

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

Ok Wild, I feel better about the two. I jsut hope it works out as well as it seems to be though the phone seemed awkward, but I was nervous...

3:44 pm

Nancy Boy

To say the least, Red ;) whatever happens I guess it'll be pretty emotional; I have no idea whether they'll accept me being gay or not, but I don't have to tell them first thing - I can enjoy being with them for a day or two first!

3:44 pm

wildcat17

of course you are .. that's normal. try to relax and enjoy the evening

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

I think we will be alrgith.

3:45 pm

Hello tijani! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

3:50 pm

tijani

oh so it's not in the puzzle

3:50 pm

cbr1965

I bet it will be fine, NB. I can't believe people still have those attitudes. Sometimes even the most biased make an "exception" for someone they know. My father in law was the most prejudiced person against anyone not like him in general conversation - yet he had good friends that fit into those boxes and he considered them the "exceptions. He drove me crazy.

3:50 pm

Jellen

Oh, yes...it's pooka

3:51 pm

Jellen

Hi, cbr

3:53 pm

cbr1965

lbd = there isn't one. Extra word on lickety.

3:53 pm

Nancy Boy

Well I'm hoping to get at least some who are still willing to talk to me! Not so hopeful regarding aunts, uncles grandparents etc, since they were brought up in much the same way as my parents, but maybe the cousins in my generation will be more accepting.

3:53 pm

Minveryork

The first po 5/20 word is an extra word on Lickety's.

3:53 pm

Hello cbr1965! How are you doing? Welcome to puzzle

When I op 4/5ed up Babble and en 5/10ed Babbleland today,I was already halfway finished wi4/9 grid from starting at flip. I to 4/4 myself away from the laptop at 2:30. Now I have only th5/12 words left so here is a story of clues. It ai 4/4 me when I don't pass a test the first time. I am pr 5/12 to failing tests because I am not a good test taker. I re 6/30 my certification test several times before I passed.I had to pay many ce 4/5s to keep on taking tests.I po4/5ed over prep books before taking the tests. I even to4/8 some po 6/21 drugs to help me stay awake late studying. The questions about po 4/5ry were hard since I have not studied it since high school.Darn it! My dog thinks he should be the ce 6/21 of my attention. Dog has been pe4/5ing at me wa4/8ing for me to play wi 5/12 him. He looks at me&thinks I should take him out pr 6/21! Dog has been a good wa6/30 though as I sit here and babble all day. But now dog is la4/5ing out by barking & trying to get on4/4 my lap w/a ro4/5 toy between his te5/12. He hates to be pe4/5 up inside the house all day.Sometimes my dog is worse than a te4/4ager. I can only say no4/5 to my dog for so long. I feel like a ro 6/18 mother for neglecting him, so I am going to go play wi 5/12 him.Maybe I'll take him on a wa4/12. Jack LOVES his wa 5/26. The first wa 4/12 made him very we4/12 though because of the heat. Or Maybe I will fly a ki 4/9. He likes to tr 4/4 around and chase it. I hope you all to4/8 no4/4 of some of my clues and found more words. I'll be back later to re6/21 the list & finish & then hang out wi4/9 my babble friends.See you all later on in chat log!
