hi dee

12:36 am

Angelsong

first, I cleaned the toilet with a mixture of borax, baking soda and white vinegar...then I had my husband go to our local home depot store and buy a bottle of ZEP for $5. put the ZEP in the bowl, under the rim, and allowed it to soak for an hour. brushed and flushed..and no more rust stains.

12:36 am

stidmama

hey dee! *returns hugs*

8's so far: be, re x2 -- any others been called?

12:38 am

jillibus

bye stiddy

12:39 am

Angelsong

Zep is environmentally friendlier than many similar products...and by the way, never try to clean rust stains with chlorine bleach, because the chlorine bindes to the iron oxide particles in the rust and sets them in and they are much harder or impossible to remove

12:39 am

ANgel...would the same method hold for removing rust stains from outdoor brick patios?

12:42 am

Angelsong

PAV...the company that makes ZEP also makes a brick and patio cleaner, plus others.

12:42 am

jillibus

just messaged Lickety on FB -- no reponse although he is supposedly online there

12:42 am

PAV3

the former owner of my condo kept an old wooden half barrel planter on the patio and then when she moved out it stayed behind , a lot less for wear and attempted removal...

12:44 am

rururocks

did she have you over a barrel pav?

12:44 am

jillibus

I see Lickety started playing Frontierville on FB an hour ago -- guess he's forgotten about us.

very late

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

why is it so late west?

1:23 am

PAV3

shh! don't tell anyone...I started with everything cable, 'cept phone, cancelled he digital cable (at the time there were only a handful of digital stations) and returned the digital box...a year later I cancelled the extended tv service that should have left me with just the basic main stations...this past March I then cancelled the whole tv lineu..keeping just the internet access...and I still get the extended tv service! since the tv service and internet access are run through the same stream, they can't split them out (unless you need a cable box)

1:23 am

jillibus

We're on Daylight Saving NOW and go to Standard time on Nov 7

1:24 am

westford

pav we'll never tell

1:24 am

jillibus

I hate Standard time --it gets dark so early.

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree

1:24 am

westford

1:24 am

jillibus

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

hubby stopeed by his mom's to see how she was doing... she is still feeling great... and she had purchased her wig last week (for later)... wig cut similarly to her own hair, but guess what....????

1:26 am

westford

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

instead of getting same color, she got one with less white... said to hubby... the other one had so much white in it... hubby said... mom... you are 76 and your hair IS white.... anyway she got one with less white

1:27 am

westford

1:28 am

jillibus

1:41 am

westford

thank you

1:42 am

westford

jilli how was the dinner theatre?

1:42 am

ursh

hello all - my goodness can just imagine what the re list looks like

1:42 am

jillibus

hi ursh -- I don't dare look!

1:42 am

ursh

lol me too jilli

1:43 am

jillibus

dinner (luncheon) theatre was a blast. Very clever one-man performance.

1:43 am

westford

wish we had them used to love going when we lived in Virginia

1:43 am

jillibus

The Wingfield Farm plays are Canadian classics.

1:46 am

westford

was the one man show someone playing a historical character ?

1:48 am

jillibus

No -- he plays all sort of different parts, from a small-town newspaper editor to a farmer, to a businessman neofarmer, to you name it. Amazing. All different voices, different facial expressions.

1:48 am

westford

that sounds so entertaining

1:49 am

jillibus

This play was about how the canny farmers plus the businessman foiled a condo development in the countryside. Done as letters from the businessman to the newspaper editor.

1:49 am

jillibus

It's very funny.

1:50 am

westford

did he have many props when he changed characters?

1:51 am

jillibus

just switched hats and occasionally a bit of clothing.

1:51 am

jillibus

It all spurred our own imaginations. Brilliant.

1:51 am

westford

would have liked to see it

1:52 am

jillibus

It'sw been on the CBC, I believe -- wonder if it's online.

1:52 am

westford

what was it called?

1:54 am

jillibus

This one is Wingfield's Progress. There are several Wingfield plays. The actor has been doing it for 25 years.

1:54 am

jillibus

I should say doing *them*.

1:54 am

westford

Wingfield being the fictional town?

1:55 am

jillibus

I think the town is Persephone -- let me check the programme (hehe, Brit-Canadian spelling)...

1:56 am

westford

it's okay to add letters to words lol

1:57 am

jillibus

Yes, it's Persephone Township, in Southern Ontario. The "businessman" is Walt Wingfield.

1:57 am

westford

I'll have to see if I can find it

1:58 am

westford

we get one Canadian station here but it's all in French

1:59 am

jillibus

The actor is Rod Beattie and he has played many other parts. I see that "Rod and Walt made their American debuts to great acclaim at the Cincicnnati Playhouse in the Park in January 1994."

2:00 am

jillibus

Oh yes, I know about that French station -- I think it's the one which reaches Tadoussac too.

2:03 am

westford

I was copying all the info so I can look further

2:03 am

jillibus

Oh, I see Rod won the "Critic's Award" in Sarasota in 1995.

2:05 am

westford

we have a playhouse here in Ogunquit ( no dinner ) I wonder if they'll ever get it?

2:05 am

westford

them I should say

2:07 am

jillibus

here's a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6o7u29
Rvm0

2:07 am

westford

thank you I'll watch it now

2:09 am

jillibus

...meanwhile, back at the 30 re words...

2:10 am

westford

that was hilarious..how does he do that?

2:12 am

jillibus

Amazing, isn't he!

2:14 am

westford

sure is..can't imagine how he keeps it all straight

2:15 am

jillibus

Yes -- the Editor appears only at the beginning and the end and he gets the voice right .

2:16 am

westford

maybe he had a multiple personality disorder lol

2:16 am

westford

has*

2:19 am

jillibus

That stage set is pretty much the same one we saw. Today there was a ladder too, but he just sat on and extended rung of it at times.

2:20 am

westford

he looks familiar

2:22 am

jillibus

I think he has one of those familiar faces, if you know what I mean.

2:22 am

westford

I do

2:23 am

jillibus

I see that there is a Douglas Beattie Theatrical Productions Ltd. which markets CDs and DVDs of the Wingfield plays. (Douglas is Rod's brother).

2:24 am

westford

oh good I'll have to get some

2:25 am

westford

nothing like keeping it in the family lol

2:26 am

jillibus

He is the director. Dan Needles is the playwright. You can probably google all these people. I'm just getting the ingo for today's programme, which I hadn't looked at carefully before.

2:26 am

westford

I need something to keep me occupied on the plane..made our reservations for San Diego today

2:27 am

jillibus

(just wondered if I was due for the PB, saying "info", but I see I'm safe. No N here today.)

2:27 am

westford

that's what's missing lol

2:28 am

jillibus

I wanna go to San Diego! Bro- and sis-in-law are on a cruise to there at present.

2:28 am

westford

oh nice you should have gone with

2:29 am

westford

that would be a great cruise

2:30 am

jillibus

I was definitely NOT invited. They never let me know their holiday plans until just before they go, so I can never book to go along.

2:30 am

jillibus

They want to be aloooone.

2:30 am

jillibus

I would LOVE to have gone with -- they're good company, but...!

2:31 am

westford

that's unfortunate alone with what a thousand or so people?

2:32 am

jillibus

well, what can I say? I guess they don't mind strangers. You know -- three's a crowd.

2:32 am

westford

when we went on a cruise for our 40th anniversary our friend Bob came along..he'd lost his wife and my best friend 9 months before

2:32 am

jillibus

That's something a lot of us widows discover. Couple want the company of couples, not single women.

2:33 am

westford

I think that goes for widowers as well

2:33 am

jillibus

That was lovely for Bob -- and you too, I'm sure.

2:33 am

westford

we ate dinner with him..he didn't share our cabin lol

2:33 am

jillibus

Not so much, I think. Extra men are always welcome.

2:34 am

westford

now he travels everywhere with his cousin Mary Ellen..

2:35 am

westford

she never married so it works well for both of them both are retired

2:35 am

westford

wouldn't a babble cruise be nice? paid for by Dr God?

2:40 am

jillibus

When I first came here, T & C (bro- and sis-in-law) and T's nephew B and his wife M and I went to Maui (I was included by the nephew). We all stayed in the same hotel, which had kitchen facilities in each room, but T & C made sure we had our meals separately except that we each took one turn making a meal for the others. And we had one meal together in the dining room at the beginning and one at the end of the stay. So that meant that in the 2 weeks we were there, we had 5 meals together. We would see T & C on the beach, but they would wander off after a while. B & M would stick around. Well, M was in a wheel-chair, but still... T & C like to "have their space", they said.

2:41 am

lynxxx

Hello West & Jilli. Its seems like a very doggy grid today, just up Jilli's alley

2:41 am

westford

that's really awful

2:41 am

jillibus

Hi lyn!

2:41 am

westford

hi lyn

2:41 am

westford

an extra hour for you today?

2:41 am

jillibus

I thought it was a bit odd.

2:42 am

lynxxx

I think it is a bit odd too

2:42 am

westford

does you sister in law run the show?

2:42 am

jillibus

Yes, pretty much.

2:43 am

jillibus

But we do have a great time together -- when we're together!

2:43 am

lynxxx

yes, always feels a bit odd when it switches on.

2:43 am

westford

well at least that's good

2:43 am

lynxxx

You finished all the packing West?

2:44 am

westford

down to the last bit lyn we leave tomorrow

2:44 am

jillibus

Sadly, B's wife died a couple of years ago. Very sad. She had muscular dystrophy, but then got breast cancer and preferred to go that way rather than the other inevitable decline. She was about 62.

2:44 am

westford

washing our bed linens in the morning and cleaning out the fridge

2:45 am

donnab3012

i was on holiday for 2 weeks with my best friend and our grandchildren and it was the worse two weeks of my life...never again

2:45 am

donnab3012

steed

2:45 am

jillibus

Yes, that can happen, donna!

2:45 am

donnab3012

oops sorry

2:45 am

westford

oh jilli I remember that you were very close to her

2:45 am

lynxxx

How sad and relatively young Jilli. So she made a decision not to have any treatment at all? very brave

2:46 am

westford

lol donna didn't the kids get along?

2:46 am

donnab3012

the kids were fine..it was us!!

2:46 am

jillibus

yes, she was a wonderful person and a barrel of fun. A lawyer, who told all the lawyer jokes.

2:47 am

donnab3012

I like to be up and out and I'm quite organised

2:47 am

westford

I hope you're still friends donna

2:47 am

donnab3012

she dawdled about every morning...it was midday before we left the hotel most days

2:47 am

jillibus

That's what she did, lyn -- but apparently chemo and her muscular dystrophy are incompatible too.

2:48 am

westford

jilli you will always have your wonderful memories of her

2:48 am

jillibus

True, west.

2:48 am

westford

oh donna I can still hear my father's words to me..don't dawdle lol

2:49 am

donnab3012

such a waste ....were fine now. but just shows that over 40 years of being great friends .... I didnt know this side of her.

2:49 am

westford

it wasn't me there with you was it?

2:49 am

jillibus

Donna, she's probably a late waker like me.

2:50 am

donnab3012

hahaha...My dad also said the same to us and he made us walk everywhere when we were children...it might be me then

2:51 am

jillibus

I was offered a chance at a travelling companion a little while ago, but he is a very early riser (like 6 am), wants lunch at about 11 am and supper at 5 at the latest. I declined on those grounds.

2:51 am

donnab3012

Its been just one year today since I lost my dad...very sad

2:51 am

jillibus

(We weren't going to share a cabin)

2:51 am

westford

oh that's a shame donna it will get better

2:51 am

lynxxx

lol Jilli

2:52 am

westford

my husband and I get along very well..he takes the daylight hours and I take the dark

2:53 am

donnab3012

I hope so Westford. x Well in raining heavily here in Manchester UK and I have a roast dinner to prepare as my Aunt is coming dinner. Catch you all later...x

2:53 am

jillibus

I really must get to bed -- library job tomorrow and an old friend coming to SSI from Ontario, so may not have any time to babble. 115/79 now.

2:54 am

lynxxx

bye Doona (wish I was there)

2:54 am

jillibus

Bye Donna -- have fun -- give my regards to Corrie.

2:54 am

westford

bye donna enjoy that dinner..are you making yorkshire pudding?

2:54 am

lynxxx

2:55 am

lynxxx

2:55 am

westford

since it's nearly 4 a.m. here I should get going too..I have exactly 100 left

2:55 am

westford

oh lyn doesn't that sound delicious?

2:56 am

lynxxx

Yep...maybe I'll look up some recipes and make a 'proper' roast beef next weekend. Could be fun

2:56 am

westford

the last time I looked at rib roasts I thought about getting a second mortgage

2:57 am

westford

if you do I'd like an invitation

2:57 am

jillibus

My Maryland-bred cousin (well, my NY cousin's hubby) didn't know what Yorkshire pudding was when they came to us for a visit years ago. When he saw the ones I did in a muffin tine he said "Oh, those are Eastern Shore dumplings!"

2:58 am

lynxxx

thanks for the tip - muffin tin sounds perfect

2:58 am

westford

wonder if Yorkshire people settled on the Eastern shore

2:58 am

jillibus

I did a small roast beef and Yorkshire pudding when my son came for a visit a week or so ago.

2:58 am

westford

Same weather here. Chickens have umbrellas up, cats are far too sensible and sprawled around in indolent positions.

5:32 am

FMitch

Hows the grid today?

5:32 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh, just found a lovely be 8/60 all on my own :-)

5:33 am

FMitch

yay!

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

Grid not too bad really. Got the first half very quickly, and now just finishing off the B words and the *&^%$ R words.

5:35 am

FMitch

and we all love re words don't we :)

5:36 am

Sally-catlover

I leave them till last usually, because by then I can probably just add re to what I have :-)

5:37 am

FMitch

thats what I do too.
I am going to pootle off and put my feet up and read yesterdays paper and dream of sunshine.

5:37 am

Sally-catlover

Planning next trip to Venice, so me too :-) Have a nice day FM.

5:37 am

blue kelly

what do i do now ?

5:38 am

FMitch

*perks up* Oh Venice! Wonderful city, when are you thinking of going?

5:38 am

Sally-catlover

Find words and add them in the Add Word box. You will find the Help above this chat box very useful.

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

Spring, FM. Last time we took the sleeper train, but this time we are planning a daytime route, so probably Eurostar, then to Zurich, stay overnight then through Alps during the day to Venice via Milan.

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

We like train journeys :-)

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

Then we will stay in the little flat we stayed in last time. Much more fun, you shop with the locals etc.

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

Don't like hotels much :-(

5:41 am

FMitch

SGood itinerary. My perfect way down there if Â£ was no issue would the the Orient Express and stay at the Cipriani (sp) hotel.

5:41 am

FMitch

but in reality your way is much more fun.

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

Don't fancy the Orient Express personally, too posy (posey?) and don't fancy the dressing up :-)

5:42 am

FMitch

do you speak Italian?

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

I speak a bit FM, trying to do a refresher at the moment at evening school because I am very bad at self-motivation.

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

Italian trains are brilliant.

5:44 am

FMitch

HAd a great trip with my parents when I was young and we spent a month in Italy, Florence, Verona, Venice and yes their trains are v good.

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

I have a personal maxim that it's rude to go to another country and expect them to speak English. I am horribly embarrassed at the behaviour of some English people abroad.

5:45 am

Sally-catlover

So you speak Italian FM?

5:45 am

Sally-catlover

A month .... goes into a dream.

5:45 am

FMitch

no fraid not what little I knew has long gone.

5:46 am

Sally-catlover

Would love to spend a month there.

5:46 am

FMitch

I find learning languages incredibly hard. I just don't have that gene in me but I can get by on some basic French still.

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

I was lucky enough to learn French from a very early age, so speak quite good French and passable Greek, and about three words of German! Find German hard.

5:48 am

Sally-catlover

I am also re-learning Latin in my old age, to keep the brain cells alive.

5:48 am

FMitch

good for you! Latin roots are in so many languages.

5:49 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, we have such fun in our Latin classes. Don't remember it like that at school.

5:49 am

hydra

You want to try learning Turkish, Sally. I studied it for a year and it is so hard, because it has few, if any, links to latin. Hi, all.

5:50 am

Sally-catlover

Actually, I think I might pass up that kind suggestion hydra!

5:50 am

FMitch

Hey hydra!

5:51 am

Sally-catlover

Tried to learn a bit of Norwegian before we went to Norway, and found that incredibly hard.

5:51 am

hydra

Any language where one to five is bir, iki, ooch, durt, besh, is best avoided!

5:51 am

hydra

Hello FMitch!

5:51 am

FMitch

I remember a business colleague trying to learn Japanese.

5:51 am

FMitch

iki LOL

5:51 am

hydra

That is really hard. My friend's son learned it as he had a Japanese girlfriend. Then he ditched her for an Italian!

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

From watching the Swedish Wallander on iPlayer, I now have a few words of Swedish! However, the words dead and murdered are probably not going to be very useful on any future trip.

5:52 am

sprite

good afternoon all

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

And right on cue here comes the polyglot sprite.

5:53 am

hydra

Hi sprite. Yes, Sally, I think you'd best forget those words.

5:53 am

FMitch

Unless you are visiting the Swedish version of Midsomer Murders :)

5:53 am

sprite

lol

5:53 am

FMitch

Hey spritey sprite!

5:55 am

sprite

it is said that only Chinese is farther away from dutch and english than Japanese. I studied Japanese for a year and a half and I agree. It is a totally different structure of language.

5:56 am

hydra

Just had such a sad sight in the garden. A manky looking young fox with most of its tail missing. Must have been in an accident.

5:56 am

sprite

aw that is sad

5:56 am

FMitch

but at least it was only part of his tail that is missing.

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

The foxes in London don't look that healthy to me.

5:57 am

hydra

And they don't really need a tail. Maybe it's a new fox fashion!

5:57 am

FMitch

can you tell I'm a glass half full person (sometimes).

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Check the collars of your neighbours' coats :-)

5:57 am

sprite

of course they need a tail. Or they would be born without one.

5:57 am

hydra

We are out near Heathrow, lots of farms and fields, and see some quite healthy ones.

5:58 am

hydra

What I meant was, they can survive Ok without it.

5:58 am

sprite

oh I understand now. Yes, they can.

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, OK hydra. "London" is a big area. My son lives in Dulwich and I don't think the ones out there look too good.

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

Here of course they are very healthy, usually fed on chicken and rabbit :-(

5:59 am

hydra

Dulwich is nice, as London goes.

5:59 am

hydra

Your chickens, Sally?

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

Yes it is, very green.

6:00 am

FMitch

I was out in the garden very very early the other morning and I am sure there was a fox in the churchyard as there were some grizzly sounds and crunching going on :(

6:00 am

Sally-catlover

Not any more hydra. Lost three this year in broad daylight at two different times. Now have electric netting.

6:00 am

hydra

Ugh! Wish you hadn't told us that, FMitch!

6:00 am

Sally-catlover

Grizzly sounds? Sure that wasn't a brown bear FM?

6:00 am

FMitch

sorry.

6:01 am

sprite

yep, that is nature for you

6:01 am

hydra

Oh Sally, poor hens. We had a sparrowhawk kill a pigeon in the garden yesterday. There's a pic on my wildlife blog.

6:01 am

FMitch

Don't see too many brown bears in Billingshurst :)

6:01 am

hydra

Don't worry, FMitch. Great alliteration, BTW!

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

There's always a first time FM.

6:02 am

FMitch

lol

6:02 am

hydra

The Beastly Bear of Billinghurst!

6:02 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Molly

6:42 am

we are having a summery day on Oct 3. Rain and wind yesterday, now 21 degrees C and just lovely!

6:42 am

carleekat

and you...

6:43 am

carleekat

how nice....that is good to hear...

6:43 am

MollyL

Good morning all.

6:43 am

carleekat

so...i have a funny story an event that took place at our local dutch store

6:44 am

sprite

please share

6:45 am

carleekat

recently i went to a local fair with a girlfriend of mine who is dutch...and we bought corn dogs....as she and her daughter are eating them she says...these kinda taste a bit llike "blahblahblah" ( not knowing any dutch... that is what i heard )

6:46 am

Kazzer99

Afternoon all - hope u are all well - any clues for the nine please

6:46 am

sprite

hi Kazz, don't have it yet, sorry

6:46 am

carleekat

a few days later i find a recipe for corn dogs....and figure..ok..i am going to make them...look easy enough..but always looking to improve a recipe..i think..ok...whatever this "blhablhablah" the daughter who is a teenager...knows it too..must be a pretty common addition to food... so i head off to our dutch store thinking..they will know what "blahblahblah " is that one would add to batter

6:47 am

carleekat

so..i go in...announce i an there..b/c i am making corn dogs....briefly explain the story as you now know it..and we start going over spices...and stuffs..."no i didnt taste curry..no..there were no flecks of green so not that one no parsley... no..no cumin...no..no nutmeg..."

6:48 am

MollyL

re7...re+place a take out *****, re9 past tense

6:48 am

sprite

thanks Molly

6:49 am

carleekat

the woman is completely stumped...asked another woman... 3 of us then 4 of us standing there...trying to figure out what it is that they tasted in the corn dog batter

6:50 am

carleekat

finally...i ask for a phone book.....so i can call my girlfriend at work...." Suzanne...we were at the fair...we ate the corn dogs....what did u and samantha taste....oh...."Ollie Bollies"...I said to the women..ollie bollie???? they all yell out OLLIEBOLLENS!!!!!!!

6:50 am

sprite

roflolllllll Oliebollen! Traditional New Year's treat.

6:51 am

carleekat

that...is my funny dutch store event last week..BTW the corn dogs..KICK ASS with 1/4 cup of ollie bollen mix sub for 1/4 of the 1 cup of flour needed in the batter

6:52 am

carleekat

i have a feeling i was the LMAO customer of the day..likely even week or month

6:52 am

sprite

that is so funny! And wonderful you got something out of it anyway.

6:52 am

herinfernallady

What the heck is it Carlee?

6:53 am

sprite

wanna have the pronunciation?

6:53 am

carleekat

heck if i know I am not dutch....i just made the corn dogs...

6:53 am

herinfernallady

Never mind I looked ti up

6:53 am

sprite

it is batter with or without raisins or other additions, lady, then fried in oil. We eat them around New Year. Very traditional Dutch treat. You will find them on carnivals too.

6:54 am

herinfernallady

Is it like: poffertjes

6:54 am

carleekat

prolly where a "dutchie" donut came from...is batter with raisins...honey dipped

6:54 am

sprite

hm no. Poffertjes are small puffed up pancakes, a very different batter.

6:55 am

herinfernallady

Ok

6:55 am

sprite

makes sense, carlee

6:55 am

MollyL

Wow, two completely different tastes, ollibollen and corn dogs. I guess the corn dogs being fried was the connections.

6:55 am

herinfernallady

I love the poffertjes. We went to the tulip festival and they had them.

6:55 am

MollyL

Or the connection.

6:55 am

sprite

poffertjes are great.

6:56 am

sprite

perhaps the fried layer around the corn dogs are similar to the oliebollen.

6:56 am

herinfernallady

Still sounds tasty

6:57 am

sprite

they are. Very much so. But fat! So it is good they only come around once a year.

6:58 am

carleekat

i just know those were the best corn dogs i have ever had..i made a dozen with the huge all beef weiners in there....they were gone in a matter of miniutes ( i had 2 spare kids arond..as per the norm)

6:58 am

sprite

yummy! Can you share the recipe, carlee?

6:59 am

carleekat

the friend layer is flour, sugar, cornmeal, baing powder, salt and buttermilk...it called for 1 cup flour...i used 3/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup of the oliebollen mix

6:59 am

herinfernallady

I have 30 left nothing in my head

7:00 am

sprite

am finding this a hard grid too, lady. Feels like I tried everything already.

7:00 am

carleekat

the fried*...was 3/4 cup cornmeal, 1/4 sugar, 1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 cup buttermilk 1/2 tsp salt...coat a dried ( with papertowel) hot dog..and fry until golden brown

7:01 am

sprite

I am going to make that in the next week. Sounds delicious and my kids are going to love them. Nice for luncheon, I think.

7:02 am

carleekat

oh..and 1 egg

7:02 am

carleekat

yeesh..forgot the egg..DONT forget the egg

7:02 am

sprite

nope, was wondering about that already. Thank you!

7:04 am

sprite

lady, there are more past tenses than I initially thought. Maybe that will help you find more words?

7:04 am

carleekat

just lightly coat the hot dog..it puffs up...if u put too much batter on it will be golden brown on outside...and still raw against the hot dog...room temp hot dogs

7:05 am

sprite

this is so cool! A new snack that they never had before. They are gonna love you, carlee!

7:07 am

sprite

*giggle* I hope they have oliebollen mix in the shop already!

7:07 am

carleekat

serve with mustard....but some prefer ketchup

7:07 am

carleekat

ACKKKKKKKKKK.i just saw how many re's there are

7:08 am

carleekat

well..if we have it in canada....surely....

7:09 am

sprite

and lady: superlative ending works... even a comparative!

7:10 am

sprite

carlee: they don't sell it here the year through, because it is really only used in november/december. But perhaps they are already in.

7:11 am

carleekat

ah...see the dutch here serve at thanksgiving now too...( my town has HUGE dutch population)

7:11 am

featherbee

scrabs, you use windows?

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and the problem began in the summer. As a procrastinator I am finally ready to solve this.

9:14 am

featherbee

go into the control panel. switch to classic view, and click on mouse. if you don't have a mouse plugged in, it should be set for your touchpad as default....(more)

9:15 am

featherbee

under pointer options is the speed control. look around in there, play with the settings, hopefully that will work.

9:15 am

crosshair

11:47 am

LeslieAnn

12:37 pm

cybernan

12:40 pm

cybernan

I guess I'm either here alone, or everyone is buried in the grid -- back at the flip :)

12:43 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

12:44 pm

pippingeek

nice to have one like this my first time back in like 6 months

12:45 pm

Jellen

Hi, flosey!

12:45 pm

Jellen

I was just thinking it had been quite a while, pippin...

12:45 pm

Jellen

How are you? What are you doing now?

12:45 pm

flosey

does anyone have a clue for re6/33, just before the plural of the colour

12:46 pm

pippingeek

i'm in new york, waiting tables

12:46 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo, Jellen! just posted a new blog with a clip from Belfast, take a look and listen?

12:46 pm

Jellen

re + sketched?

12:47 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

quitting the cigarettes has made so much difference it's amazing, wish I'd quit a long, long time ago!

12:47 pm

Jellen

Okay, George...

12:47 pm

pippingeek

i had been doing pre-move travelling and then was moving and then my computer got stolen my 2nd day here, so not much access to babble

12:47 pm

flosey

yes, thanks Jellen, thought I'd monkeyed all around that one!

12:47 pm

pippingeek

but i just got a netbook, hooray!

12:48 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? won't say what I was doing last time I was in New York! ha!

12:48 pm

Jellen

Oh, that's bad, pippin!

12:48 pm

Jellen

Hooray for your netbook!

12:48 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh that's awful, computer being nicked!?

12:49 pm

Jellen

I'm having problems connecting with yahoo, but will take a look at your blog later, George...

12:50 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? the website, pulse?

12:50 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

what problems? can't sign in there??

12:51 pm

Jellen

It's not loading...let me try in IE...

12:53 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh that's odd? I use the mozilla broswer, Firefox!

12:54 pm

Jellen

I usually use Chrome...hope it's not my computer acting up again!

12:55 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah I don't like Google Chrome so much, have some trouble with it, Firefox is a lot better!

12:56 pm

pippingeek

oh yay, i just realized, since my netbook is not a mac, i can use babble expert! yay!

12:56 pm

jan

That last br/4 is cheating, I think. It was my last word--how sad is that, having a 4 letter word stumping me!

12:56 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, macs aren't good for a lot of the word games

12:57 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

happens to me all the time, jan, I see the bigger words and can't see some of the silly little 4 letter ones for looking, you'd think I would though, considering how much of my language consists of 4 letter words, ha, ha!!

12:59 pm

flosey

lol, George, and they even appear in babble?

1:00 pm

jan

Yup, I was monkeying over and over "brod, broe, bror, brot"...gimme a straightforward naughty word anyday!

1:00 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

some do, yeah, those are always the words I see first when they're in the grid, lol!

1:00 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah!!

1:01 pm

jan

Now that I think about it, the sh word and its past tense are often in the grid, but I can't recall ever seeing the f word...

1:01 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

not that one, no, but some others like that really awful 'c' word!

1:01 pm

flosey

think that's a slang word? but even some slang words are accepted

1:02 pm

jan

Enable is a capricious and cruel master...

1:02 pm

flosey

indeed it is

1:03 pm

Alan Russell

...

1:03 pm

jan

The f word has a long history in English usage, and once was considered much less offensive than it is today. At one point in our history, blasphemous words were considered much worse that bodily-taboo words.

1:03 pm

flosey

hello Alan, have not seen you before, is this your first time in Babble?

1:04 pm

flosey

interesting, jan

1:04 pm

Alan Russell

No, i just don't chat lol!

1:04 pm

flosey

an, well welcome to the chat

1:05 pm

Alan Russell

Thanks!

1:05 pm

jan

You can tell a lot about a society by how it ranks its swear words. (I once wrote something about the linguistic uses of swearing, but it was darned hard to deliver whith a straight face at conferences!

1:05 pm

flosey

the chat lightens up the frustration of some of these 'unwords'

1:09 pm

flosey

I bet it would be jan - but your audience would be in stitches

1:12 pm

jan

Yeah, all my example sentences were obscene comments on academic conferences, delivered as deadpan as possible.

1:15 pm

jan

I've moved on in my research these days. Just as well...

1:16 pm

jan

BTW...a surprising number of linguists Babble. Or maybe not so surprising.

1:18 pm

flosey

and no doubt stumped by some of the strange words found in the dictionary used here!

1:19 pm

JBV

hi again - and hi to jan, fellow linguist - your research seemes a little more interesting than mine :)

1:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hello ruby for a minute!

1:41 pm

rubyfoo

I wish I could stay, would love to read more of this chat on linguistics, a subject dear to my heart

1:44 pm

rubyfoo

the dreaded c word is only good used against a superior male in a biz situation. It leaves them speechless, particularly when they are in the wrong

1:47 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ha, yeah! I've used it on a few males in my time!

1:48 pm

rubyfoo

I found it very effective!

1:48 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, last thing they expect!!

1:48 pm

rubyfoo

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

rubyfoo

1:49 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:49 pm

rubyfoo

1:50 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:50 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I'm nearly 6' tall, if that's taller?

1:50 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I've met women taller than me, ha! especially in the Netherlands!

1:50 pm

rubyfoo

I once made one of my bosses so angry that he stormed out of his office, out of the building, and quit!

1:50 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ooh!! wtg, ha!

1:50 pm

rubyfoo

I'm not quite 5' but used to wear high heels

1:51 pm

rubyfoo

nasty can be very effective coming from that low

1:51 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah?

1:51 pm

rubyfoo

living in the country has made me more (a little) mellow

1:52 pm

Deeha

Hi Ruby just gor fireworks. Need any clues??

1:52 pm

rubyfoo

I have to leave, deeha, but HELLO!

1:53 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:53 pm

Deeha

OK see you soon. I'll go and watch Antiques Roadshow then!! Bye all

1:53 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I'm in a suburb, large commons opposite me, take walks on the trails in the woods there, lovely!!

1:55 pm

jbp

sorry distracted by something shiny... Maledicta is the scholarly journa; of "bad words"...articles on etymology, usage, cross-linguistic analysis...

1:56 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? think I've heard every one in existence, growing up and living all my life in London, ha!

2:08 pm

Jellen

My computer is acting up, but I had a meeting to attend. Will catch you all later...

5:07 pm

jmcnrick

2% is fine

5:08 pm

lynxxx

Well we have lots of room, the job situation is pretty good, the only draw back is the puppies would have to go into quarantine for quite a while and you would not like that

5:08 pm

PAV3

30-60 days I believe, yes?

5:09 pm

redturtlehead

5:09 pm

one of the store clerks ran over , picked it up and said, sorry, it's now contaminated, they'll have to put it in back for someone to eat....

6:15 pm

EspritdJean

liability-wise, they would surely have to

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

good for him

6:15 pm

PAV3

I'm pretty sure she was joking, but the woman looked shocked!

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

no if there we** a real liability they couldn't let their staff eat it either

6:15 pm

PAV3

and I'm pretty sure they threw it out...

6:16 pm

EspritdJean

I know, they'd have to dump it, though eprsonally I find that a shame

6:16 pm

PAV3

it was a bit hilarious watching the two of them...

6:16 pm

jmcnrick

you wouldn't if she accidently kicked some trash into it too

6:17 pm

PAV3

...and I don't think the ten-second rule applies here

6:17 pm

jmcnrick

GACK! not on a grocery store floor!

6:18 pm

PAV3

Jellen - you really shouldn't mention hospital chaplains to me, because it sets me off giggling. Why? Because when my aunt and uncle both worked at the same hospital, she as a receptionist and he as male nurse, he (my uncle) had a funny turn and ended up on a trolley in one of his own cubicles. He was out for the count and only came around as my Aunt had just left to get some coffee, passing the chaplain they both knew on the way and mentioning that my uncle had been taken ill. The chaplain hurried to the cubicle to see his workmate and was just hovering over him when my uncle, who is not a Catholic, so should not even have been thinking about The Last Rites, but watches far too many films and as too much imagination, came to and saw a priest standing over him. At that point, he though The End Was NIGH! It was hilarious and no one laughed more than the chaplain did.
