gortmold

obscure clue for the tr9 for any lurkers: the name of the restaurant owned by whatsherface Triplehorn's family in the Hugh Grant movie "Micky Blue Eyes"

1:34 am

zoozzoom

too obscure for me, Gord, but thanks anyway :-)

1:34 am

zoozzoom

gort*

1:35 am

gortmold

Jean Triplehorn, that's the chick

1:35 am

gortmold

i think it's Italian for "restaurant"?

1:36 am

gortmold

anagram of what judas iscariot was, plus an extra t and r

1:36 am

zoozzoom

ahh, ok *checking*

1:38 am

gortmold

yup, just looked it up myself, literal translation: eating house

1:40 am

zoozzoom

Many thanks, Gort, got it!

1:40 am

zoozzoom

was wondering what the lone `T` word was :-)

1:42 am

zoozzoom

I need to get some sleep, bye for now & thanks for the tr9/54 Gort :-)

1:46 am

gortmold

goodo, cheerio

1:46 am

dfmchfhf

heh, I walk by a building with the tr9/54 about every week

1:47 am

gortmold

i spose in a backhanded sort of way, it's imaginative to call your restaurant, "restaurant"

1:47 am

dfmchfhf

I bet the menu would have a lot of food called "food" on it.

2:18 am

rbud

3:06 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning ruby. Thought there was no-one here!

5:13 am

rubyfoo

hello sally, I just got here and have hardly any time

5:14 am

rubyfoo

how are you?

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

It's not a particularly easy grid today.

5:14 am

rubyfoo

small, too, I dont think it has all those words we've had the last 3 days

5:15 am

rubyfoo

and the q is a big tease

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

I quite like Q words, high scoring and you get the first three letters.

5:16 am

rubyfoo

yes, and because of old scrabble games, we tend to know them

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

You have a busy day today?

5:19 am

rubyfoo

after yesterday's absolute exhuastion, we have a house guest coming for a week at 4PM and have to go to Geneva to get her....

5:19 am

rubyfoo

celebrating 20th anniversary of the big C!

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

That's a very special anniversary!

5:20 am

rubyfoo

for sure

5:20 am

rubyfoo

rant

5:20 am

rubyfoo

whoops! sorry

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

So you should be, I have that one!

5:22 am

rubyfoo

I am easily confused....duh

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

I can't believe it, I only have 66 and I'm already going to have to list :-(

5:23 am

rubyfoo

this isn't easy, but I don't have any time anyway

5:27 am

rubyfoo

neither husband nor son remembered today, talk abut :((

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

But that's good in a way ruby, means you don't dwell on it and it is in the past.

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

Just monkeyed the second 9 (had one) and there is absolutely no way I would have got that without morewords.

5:28 am

rubyfoo

but it's always in my mind!

5:29 am

rubyfoo

did you find the po5/12, a little monkey-like creature?

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

No, not yet.

5:30 am

rubyfoo

I thought it had a th in the middle

5:32 am

rubyfoo

I have 39 words; this is def hard!

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

Have it now.

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

Yup!

5:33 am

rubyfoo

but niehter porto nor natto are accepted!

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

One of the 9s is an Italian restaurant ruby.

5:37 am

lynxxx

start with the first and finish with the second Ruby. Hello to you both

5:37 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxx

5:37 am

rubyfoo

I have the Italian restaurant, but not the other one

5:38 am

Sally-catlover

Hi lynxxx

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

I will try to clue it if you want.

5:39 am

rubyfoo

is the other 9 also tr?

5:40 am

rubyfoo

please.

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

No, it is na 9/54 but ends the same as the tr

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

(ie latin plural)

5:41 am

rubyfoo

ahah, place for swimming in ancient Rome?

5:42 am

rubyfoo

thank you

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

10 out of 10 for ruby!

5:42 am

rubyfoo

if only.....

5:42 am

lynxxx

em7 has that ending too, as does c5

5:43 am

lynxxx

and sc6

5:43 am

rubyfoo

ty, lynx, that was my first 7!

5:44 am

rubyfoo

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I have those two, but I would say the em is a more normal word, whereas I have never used the na in idle conversation!

5:45 am

rubyfoo

I've decided not to say anything to my husband about today's significance...no point, really, it would just make him feel bad

5:46 am

lynxxx

A nice round 20 left...Goodnight ladies!

5:46 am

rubyfoo

good night, lynxx, and ty for the help

5:46 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps when you have a drink before dinner, just raise a glass and say "here's to 20 years today". I really wouldn't read too much significance into other people not knowing the day, though. I'm sure I wouldn't remember for other people.

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

Goodnight lynxxx

5:47 am

rubyfoo

but your husband, your son!!!

5:48 am

rubyfoo

actor

5:48 am

rubyfoo

tatar

5:48 am

rubyfoo

whoops, again, guess I'm just tired

5:48 am

Sally-catlover

No ruby, I really would not remember. I remember the date of my husband's heart bypass and of his subsequent accident, but they were only last year and had to be remembered for hospital appointments, etc, but we don't say, hey it's an anniversary.

5:49 am

rubyfoo

you're probably right, sensible sally!! I guess I remember too many significant dates, probably significant only to me.....

5:50 am

rubyfoo

I guess I think it terms of length of survival, especially with cancer

5:50 am

Sally-catlover

It's wonderful that it's 20 years for you.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

that's how I feel, lucky every day

5:51 am

rubyfoo

and now he wants his apero! will bite my tongue!

5:52 am

rubyfoo

{{sally}} you are always wise and sensible

5:52 am

MollyL

Good morning all. Feeling lucky every day is the anniversary to remember Ruby.

5:52 am

redturtlehead

6:08 am

varumba

Soodle

I smelled the coffee & croissants...... Morning all :-)

6:08 am

varumba

morning soodle

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

Takes a croissant. MMMM, ty. We definitely need an E over to the left near those double Ts.

6:09 am

MollyL

Today is "It Ends In A Vowel" day in Babbleland. Hi Soodle.

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

Actually, it is "it ends in a latin plural" day as well.

6:10 am

MollyL

I know. I'm feeling the urge to break into a chorus of "Oh Sol O Mio".

6:11 am

varumba

tx for the clue sally

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

Have found 7 with that ending so far.

6:14 am

varumba

thing i s, am not sure which latin ending you mean..... in my head it's ae... but it's not in this grid...

6:18 am

Sally-catlover

Let me think of a hint.

6:18 am

MollyL

Same ending as the Waldorf Astor**

6:18 am

varumba

tx sally :)

6:18 am

Sally-catlover

Good one Molly.

6:19 am

Sally-catlover

latin ending -rum sometimes plurals as -ria

6:19 am

MollyL

I was just discussing that place with someone the other day. Seems they have not kept it up nicely. Which is a shame.

6:20 am

varumba

well i'll bear that in mind when i go through lickety's...... got 56 left and hitting a wall... so gonna have breakfast ;)

6:20 am

Sally-catlover

actually, that should be -rium, not -rum

they have a new Waldork As***** in Orlando Fl, but I have to admit, I am more fond of anything older and/or original...

6:27 am

MollyL

I like older architecture too Red. It's the feel of something still around after so many years. That's why I love Annapolis. There are buildings there from the 1700s

6:27 am

redturtlehead

on that note, I have to go sample the 44 degree weather 7 C for those across the pond and up north....not so nice for florida!!!

Angelsong

hi, all. yesterdat was crazy. I was doing my normal day until late morning, when I tried to log in for work. I was unable to log in completely (I work from home via remote access 4 days per week, and was supposed to work from home yesterday. I called the office, and they said the IT folks were working on a computer refresh (new computers for 400-plus staff, and were working on mine at the time. They told me to call back in an hour if I still could not log in, which I did. At that point, ah hour or so into my shift, they told me I needed to come into the office to set up the remote access. So I had to leave, with no real notice, and go into the office. I had to track down the IT people, who were scattered around the office (which covers most of a city block) to help me get the remote access set up. The process took about ten minutes to complete. I finally got home and logged in for work at 3:45 PM. Luckily, I got paid for the full 8 hour shift.

7:58 am

cybernan

sounds complicated angel

I am TIRED. And worried about getting all the work done before Tuesday... and nervous that perhaps the children were NOT helped by the work we did ALL last month... but hopeful that they all learned something and pleased that many of them did truly spectacular work that their peers were surprised and pleased at seeing... gave a LOT of status to some low-status kids... and WOW. it was a real marathon. and I have missed you all SO MUCH.

you can't win them all, stid, but sounds like you came darn close :D

10:12 am

Oh, I had some children share family stories that were so amazing and wonderful, and the kids who used the stories I told to them had such innovative and amazing ways of "making them their own" that it was a real joy to read their papers and watch their presentations.

my daughter just got a 1st grade teaching job in a Catholic school

10:14 am

trentsnana

she is in Michigan and jobs are very scarce there, especially teaching jobs

10:14 am

stidmama

my mother used to teach 1st grade

10:14 am

sprite

can I submit a name for that unit? A marathon of narrations should be a narraton. No way enable agrees, though.

10:14 am

trentsnana

sounds like you did a good job, stid

10:14 am

stidmama

yes, teaching jobs are tough to find at the moment.

10:14 am

stidmama

LOL sprite! I like it!

10:15 am

10:17 am

Uneaixoise

teaching jobs are tough to find . . . and knowledgeable, creative, passionate teachers are pretty rare as well -- and that means YOU, Ms. Stid

10:17 am

stidmama

in a year or two, the huge class sizes due to "downsizing" teaching staff will start to have a huge impact, and I think they will reverse course. At least I hope so... I know in my area a lot of teachers have put off retirement until the stock market rebounds. Hopeful there will be a lot of openings soon!

10:17 am

sprite

I second Une

10:17 am

i can still see my early teacher1st-2nd grade/ we were not allowed pens of course and had those big jumbo red pencils,and i became facinated of all things by the way she corrected papers with this red pen of hers.she would not do a check mark but this stylized fancy c and i asked for extra writing work so i could do that be be good enough with my letter to earn my first pen!.lol.i can remember the day clearly,which is funny since i cannot remember what i ate for dinner last night.on the big day she called me and 2 others up in front of the class,reached into her own briefcase and gave us each one of her very own pens..lol,you would of thought it was a might sword i was carrying by the way i held it on the way back to my desk.....what a sudden memory..

ok, I guess I will keep him after all. He just came in to apologise and it was a sincere apology, stating clearly what he thought wasn't ok about his behaviour.
I think that is pretty adult for a 14 yo.

11:33 am

crosshair

11:33 am

jmc, yes, I believe so. Have tried several things. Maybe it is only with an -ic ending?

11:42 am

carleekat

11:42 am

helensgirlkid

one has to do with swimming pools, and the other is an eating establishment (Italian)

11:42 am

carleekat

2 of them crossy

11:42 am

jmcnrick

too lazy to change my icon but changed my flag for the icon theme

11:42 am

carleekat

the tr9 and the na9

11:42 am

sprite

wow jmc, good one

11:42 am

carleekat

the na is plural of indoor swimming pool

11:43 am

helensgirlkid

jmcnrick

11:44 am

helensgirlkid

This is true - birds, esp. ducks, glass work.

11:44 am

MollyL

Maybe it's just me, but I have never heard anyone refer to an indoor swimming pool as an na9

11:44 am

11:45 am

carleekat

11:45 am

crosshair

i must mingle in the lowers circles,no indoor pools with fancy names;(

11:45 am

jmcnrick

got the bistro!

11:46 am

jmcnrick

and it is the lower T

11:46 am

carleekat

i rather like how the na9 rolls off the tongue too

11:46 am

helensgirlkid

Heaven forfend - an oc5,6 that are the sing and pl of a word!

if society would say hairy legs was fine it would also work. that is my suggestion. when my mother grew up no one shaved legs or waxed them. they were fine as they were. who says hair on women is not good? hollywood came up with that idea. in some cultures hair is fine on women.

1:03 pm

mkg

my mother was born 1915 in the u.s. by the way. never shaved her legs ever.

1:04 pm

Sigh. Those were the good old days. Laser hair removal is very popular now. I had some done recently. Not bad at all.

2:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello ruby

2:20 pm

Atalante

he'd rather have a big empty cupboard in the kitchen and a pile of stuff in the hallway than let me store something in it that isn't "kitchen stuff"

2:20 pm

rubyfoo

hello TO

2:20 pm

rubyfoo

hello haz and fm

2:20 pm

Haz1558

Disguise it. Put big labels on it.

2:21 pm

kje

ruby - you can't tell by looking at him?

2:21 pm

Haz1558

You're an artist, you can do things like that.

2:21 pm

FMitch

He is just strange.

2:21 pm

Atalante

and 2 of the things were not just folders but *empty* folders. apparently that makes a differece

2:21 pm

Haz1558

Good gracious, if they can make a wreath look like a bottle of Baileys, you can make a document look like cornflakes.

2:21 pm

Atalante

and we need more room in the kitchen for food (even though there's an empty cupboard)

2:22 pm

rubyfoo

our friend is visiting from Miami and I made a feast and am so tired that I think I'm going to collapse!

2:22 pm

Atalante

so he placed 4 tins of fruit at strategic intervals in the front of the empty cupboard

2:22 pm

Haz1558

Have to go! Tea ready... Nice to see you all but chicken awaits.

2:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

MICA = Maryland Institute College of Art. They call where my son went MCAD.

3:12 pm

Babs1

MICA...Maryland Institute College of Art...next door to U of MD...very creative place for the artists--seems like a great program so far! great historic remodeled buildings mixed into a section of Baltimore.

3:12 pm

lil*monkey

awesome!

3:12 pm

MollyL

Babs, what is your daughter wanting to do with her artistic talent?

3:13 pm

Babs1

What did yours do after college, Molly?

3:14 pm

MollyL

He went to a two year college. He tried to complete that at a four year college but ran out of time and money. He would really love a degree in graphic design, but he's still paying off student loans.

3:14 pm

MollyL

He's currently working a job that has nothing to do with art, rats.

3:16 pm

Babs1

you can see some of her stuff at izzylawlor.com...and mostly now just uploading photos to FaceBook...we had a site up before with some of her earlier work, but she now has taken over and of course doesn't want her earlier stuff. She's planning on focusing on fibers and illustration..she's very gifted in many artistic ways so difficult to predict what she'll end up doing..MICA also has a teaching path for the artists...also her work at poems.deviantart.com/gallery

3:17 pm

Babs1

she does henna body art, beaded and other jewelry, illustration, costuming, poetry, painting, sculpture, so far!

For me right now, it seems to be...

6:45 pm

7:01 pm

mummy

7:02 pm

redturtlehead

Oh wow, then not so bad, here we have had a cold snap. I can not get warm. but...its probably warm to you 7-8C today.

7:03 pm

7:05 pm

how are you mummy? sounds like you had a lovely day

7:06 pm

mummy

scot

7:06 pm

stidmama

I am well red, tired and trying to crunch numbers and format a report, but feeling a sense of overall success with the student teachign.

7:06 pm

mummy

oops sorry

7:06 pm

redturtlehead

indeed mummy.

7:06 pm

stidmama

who you calling a northerner???? *indignant mama look*

7:06 pm

7:07 pm

redturtlehead

:)

7:08 pm

redturtlehead

what was your favorite part of the student teaching StidM?

7:09 pm

mummy

hi stid, yes had a lovely day, went to my sister's for dinner after the walk along the prom, it was good to see her and her family, we don't see them so often now they have moved

7:09 pm

stidmama

um... actually teaching was the best part. being with the children and helping them learn, watching them struggle with ideas and tasks and then "get it" and have that rush of accomplishment. It's the best feeling.

7:09 pm

Jellen

That sounds wonderful, stid!

7:10 pm

Jellen

Hello again...

7:10 pm

redturtlehead

I think you are a natural teacher!

7:10 pm

stidmama

hey jellen!

7:10 pm

redturtlehead

Mummy, that sounds very fun. I saw my sister last year in Nov. and this year am spending Xmas with them and I am really looking forward to it.

7:11 pm

stidmama

thanks red. I felt a LOT more confident once I figured out which end was up; the writing of the lesson plans (according to a different person's plan) was un-natural and un-comfortable. The rest was relatively easy, including "aligning to standards" -- that was actually kind of fun (in a geeky, tech-data kind of way)

7:11 pm

stidmama

no sister to spend time with. *sigh*

7:13 pm

stidmama

acote

7:13 pm

stidmama

acora

7:13 pm

stidmama

oops....

7:14 pm

mummy

When our parents pass away it is usually left to one or other of the children to try and keep th family together. we are 'close' but distant by location, and also age, sister is 13 years younger, brother is 5 years older than me and lives in another part of the country.

7:14 pm

stidmama

gee, that's a huge age range.

7:15 pm

mummy

lost one sister when I was 16, little sister doesn't really rember her, sadly.

7:15 pm

redturtlehead

It is, imagine it's interesting.

7:15 pm

stidmama

that's too bad. a hard age to lose anyone, let alone a sibling

7:16 pm

redturtlehead

you know, I am seriously considering purchasing a new television, even though my TV is not broken...what is wrong with me?

7:16 pm

redturtlehead

I meant the age range, condolences to you on the loss of your sister, which had to be quite devestating.

7:16 pm

mummy

yes, still seems like yesterday, it would have been her birthday last week, wonderwhat she would have been like now!

7:17 pm

stidmama

RED! SNAP OUT OF IT!!! be serious. A NEW TV??? when there are all those choclits to acquire??? *exasperated mama look*

7:17 pm

stidmama

stidkid #2 just got home from building the set for his play. He is exhausted. I can hardly wait for him to play his NEW TROMBONE!!!!

7:17 pm

stidmama

brb...

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

I always wonder about that with Children, the potential to become is one thing that I love to watch...

7:18 pm

mummy

my biggest regret is that we only started to see eye to eye with each other only a few months before she died.

7:20 pm

redturtlehead

well, Mummy, you being a young person yourself...I think you can know that you probably did just what anyone would have done and been in that position. and nice that you did have some time to be with each other in understanding.

7:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:22 pm

mummy

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:30 pm

redturtlehead

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes but i was too much in a rush, didn't brown the potatoes or add enough parmesan

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi wht

8:03 pm

Jacula

Hi all.

8:04 pm

Trifioso

hey there jacula!

8:04 pm

Jacula

Trif - a Blue Moon is a brand of beer and also a girly cocktail

8:04 pm

Jacula

Here's the cocktail recipe: * 1 cup crushed ice
* 1/4 cup vodka
* 1/4 cup blue curaÃ§ao
* 1/4 cup whipping cream
* 2 tablespoons vanilla-flavored syrup (such as Torani)
* 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
* 1 tablespoon Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur

8:04 pm

Trifioso

thank you. does it at least come in a blue bottle? Oh, how I crave/hoard those....

8:05 pm

Trifioso

gawd almighty, it should come with a bag of insulin as well....

8:05 pm

Jacula

Trif - how funny - I love blue bottles, too. (The glass variety, not the flies!) They look so lovely on a windowsill with the light coming through them.

8:06 pm

Trifioso

I agree. have LOTS in my kitchen, and my mosaic over the stove features lots and lots of blue sea glass I have found

8:06 pm

Jacula

Trif - re the cocktail. I've never tried it. I HATE sweet drinks.

8:07 pm

Trifioso

there is a photo of the mosaic in my flickr photos, if you care to look - it's on the very first page, which is number 9, I think....

8:07 pm

Jacula

I like green sea glass. I once made a centre for a ring out of a nugget I found on the beach.

8:07 pm

mcurlschool

are we drinking tonight?

8:07 pm

Trifioso

only in cyberland, mcurl

8:07 pm

I'm on the Chardonnay, mcurls. What's your poison?

8:07 pm

mcurlschool

8:08 pm

mcurlschool

well, to be honest right now i'm working on a Coke Zero

8:08 pm

Trifioso

i am supposed to be preparing the rest of my sunday school lesson for the morning, but here I am, babbling.

8:08 pm

Jacula

Actually, me and Other Half are drinking for real. He's on Shiraz.

8:09 pm

Jacula

It also cleans toilets.

Jac, I have only just started.

8:10 pm

kadresa

Hey Trif! Scoop and I are watching Rocky Horror. She had never seen it; just the Glee version and needed a reference hahaha

8:11 pm

Jacula

Well, if anyone needs a clue, just ask.

8:11 pm

Trifioso

shoo bop shoo bop bop. I feel certain a field trip is in order!

8:11 pm

wht

I could ask for the next 61 words, but that might be a bit much. Thanks for the offer.

8:11 pm

Jacula

kadresa - it's always fun watching someone watch the RHS for the first time. You can bet they'll be having a little go at the dance the next day.

8:12 pm

kadresa

She'll never be able to watch Muppit Treasure Island again

8:12 pm

Jacula

LOL

8:12 pm

Trifioso

maybe I should give HER the RHPS fun pack for her birthday - she might actually go with me!

8:12 pm

mcurlschool

8:13 pm

Dammit Janet! Let's do the time warp again.

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

kadresa

Oh Brad!

8:14 pm

kadresa

We should all dress like that for next Halloween

8:15 pm

Trifioso

I hear that at the theatre it's at now, you aren't allowed to throw anything, and everyone is searched going it. I will give you one of my brassieres to wear, and we can hide all the supplies in it

8:15 pm

Jacula

Babblers en masse at The Rocky Horror Show would out-horror Hammer Films. What fun!

8:15 pm

kadresa

One left...the tr 7; the aliens are killing them now

8:15 pm

Trifioso

8:16 pm

MollyL

I see this place turns into a bar after hours. Cool.

8:17 pm

Trifioso

Snif. I always got sad when rocky gets it...IN THE END

8:17 pm

Jacula

kadresa - the tra7 is someone who tunrs in information and lets his friends and country down.

8:17 pm

kadresa

Done! Rocky wasn't bad in his little golden thong; Time Warp finish!

8:17 pm

Trifioso

YEAH SKILLS

8:18 pm

Trifioso

see, now I just started it, so I am still in the opening credits....oh, how I missed this!

8:20 pm

Trifioso

I am SO going to hell! Babbling and preparing my Sunday School lesson is one thing....preparing my lesson whilst RHPS is on in the background is a whole 'nother affair

8:21 pm

Jacula

trif - I don't think God has an objections to anyone having innocent fun.

8:21 pm

Jacula

*any

8:22 pm

Trifioso

rhps is not exactly innocent fun....

8:22 pm

Jacula

Opps! Glass no 4 has not done my typing skills and favours.

8:22 pm

kadresa

God will forgive you....I'm skipping SS tomorrow. This was my day: drive Sarah to work; last coat of paint on Drew's room; clean up the mess; decorate something; make lunch; pick up Sarah; clean entire house top to bottom; make dinner; clean up; hit a wall and decide to have wine; watch RHPS & Babble

8:23 pm

Jacula

rhps is to do with the Rocky Horror Show? Not to be taken seriously.

8:24 pm

kadresa

Hey any clues needed before I sign off? Scoop wants to play something else....

8:24 pm

Trifioso

You're not supposed to go there for FUN! We had the jacuzzi for that.

8:33 pm

MollyL

Ack! A Puritan! *Runs and hides*

8:33 pm

Jacula

Trif - Don't care! We original Babblers don't like all this 'easy' stuff.

8:34 pm

MollyL

Okay, tomorrow, all Babblers who type grid words in the chat box will be put in the stockade and then be tarred and feathered.

8:35 pm

Jacula

Seriously though, what's the point of playing the game if the words are spelled out or given to you?

8:35 pm

Jacula

Molly - sounds like a good idea! You forgot the last bit about setting them on fire, though.:-)

8:36 pm

MollyL

Oh by all means, lets burn them at the stake too. Night all.

Oops! I think Molly was being serious.

8:42 pm

Jacula

Oh, here's the difference between UK and USA and Canada. We've all finished and you're all just starting.

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

8:46 pm

Hi Jilli. Don't worry, you can come back soon when I'm gone.

howdy min and welcome to the grid;)

8:49 pm

Minveryork

I LOVE poptarts also, however,I just also discovered toaster strudles.Do you guys know what those are? I like them better than poptarts now.I can't believe in my 39 years here on this planet,I've been missing out on toaster strudles. I just bought four boxes of them

8:49 pm

Jacula

Don't worry about Jilli and me, btw. I love her to bits (as my stepdaughter would say) but she doesn't like some of the things I think, do and say. I think we will work it out though.

8:49 pm

Minveryork

Hello crosshair and thank you! Came back to finish up

8:50 pm

crosshair

now toaster strudels rock!

8:52 pm

Jeff7

at 6/18 please

8:52 pm

Jacula

I'm just wondering if any of you who only know about toast done in an electric toaster, know what real toast tastes like? Or, if you're used to electric sandwich maker toasties, do you know what a proper gas-grilled toasted sandwich tastes like? My favourite filling for one of those is bacon, Brie and green grapes.

8:53 pm

Jacula

Jeff - what the American lawyer does - at6.18.

8:53 pm

i do toast in an electric toaster,i do not care for those little toaster ovens,but in the past we used to have a old gas stove and on the bottom ,instead of a place to hold pots and pans,it had a gas fired broiler wht a shingle sheve and we could toast 18 slices of bread at once in that sucker! lol

8:54 pm

Jacula

lexi - it's an Italian eating place for one definition.

8:55 pm

Jacula

Crossy - just try holding your bread slices out on a toasting fork over a real fire.

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

How about catching the bear who was catching the salmon? Bear steaks and salmon. Wow!

8:59 pm

crosshair

brown trout are a rarer treat

9:00 pm

lexi

got it! thanks jacula and diane!

9:00 pm

crosshair

not because they are scarce but it takes a more gentle touch to get them

9:00 pm

dianedecoder

:-)

9:01 pm

Jacula

Really, Crossy? They're quite common here in UK.

9:01 pm

crosshair

ours have real soft lips and you cannot haul on them like you do with the lakers or even the speckles..you just end up with a set of fish lips and nothing more

9:02 pm

wht

Clue for the co7 please.

9:02 pm

crosshair

salmon are common here as well

9:03 pm

Jacula

As for the bear... if he was trying to catch me for dinner, I'd rather catch him first! At least I'd make sure he was dead before I ate him. He wouldn't give me the same courtesy; he'd take a chunk or two out of me as I screamed and then dip into my abdomen to scoop out my nice warm guts, he'd probably take heart and brain last. Nasty death!

9:03 pm

crosshair

i can do a fish fry up that would bring a tear to yer eye;))

Brown trout caught in a freshwater mountain lake at about 7am, knocked over the head and pan-fried in butter immediately for breakfast. There's no taste like it!

9:10 pm

Jacula

Trif - glad to hear it! You couldn't be a real Babbler if you weren't.

9:11 pm

Jacula

I do think you have to have a certain sense of humour to survive in the chog here.

9:11 pm

Having said that, it probably depends what time of your day you play.

Speaking of being cold - why do Gas company engineers who come to servie your central heating system always think they know better than you do when they re-set everything? We were bloody freezing until we upped the thermostat again etc.

9:22 pm

Jacula

mcurls - she's argueing with the Wii? What game is she on?

9:22 pm

once it drops and stays below minus 2 c out we just keep it at 68 till spring thaw

9:24 pm

Crossy - don't Canadian thermostats allow for the extreme below zero temps?

9:24 pm

Minveryork

We have an extra hour to finish the grid tomorrow. I hope it is a big one. Got nothing else to do tomorrow.

9:24 pm

9:24 pm

mcurls - what does she want and what's she trying to play?

9:25 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay, Crossy. Sounds like what we do, except for engineers interfering.

9:26 pm

mcurlschool

She's in the "jam" session mode and the song she's chosen is swan lake! and she's looking for the flute as the melody.....isn't an option for that section (just the harmony part)....She is so funny; I wish I could broadcast her "recordings"

9:27 pm

crosshair

whne we had a wood stove,we used t o just toss a chunk of hickory in the firebox when we got home and we were all set till bed time;))

Ah, Swan Lake.

9:28 pm

Jacula

*chair leg, I meant.

9:29 pm

mcurlschool

she loves this game. Can't say that I find it to bad myself. It has a big variety of songs, types of music from classical to hip hop and rap. It's fun to see her discover songs that I learned as a kid and she thinks they are fantastic

9:29 pm

Jacula

Swan Lake is my favourite ballet.

9:30 pm

It's break time now....the question posed was "do I have a cup cake, a cookie or both?"

OH no not fat. I have Wii fit and I play just for the "fun games" to heck with the work out stuff.....couldn't get into some of those yoga poses if I tried!

9:32 pm

mcurls - if any of the yoga poses involve standing on one leg with one arm in the air, I will probablyu end up in a heap on the floor. If they involve being double jointed at the hips, knees or ankles, I stand no chance!

Fortunately, re the WII numchuk on theTV screen, it didn't break, screen or controller, we were on holiday, so it wasn't our TV and it was therefore funny.

did he not have the wrist strap on? lol

9:43 pm

Jacula

Min - when I first started Babbling, my Other Half would bumble in to look for words when I was not on the PC. I could cope with that, just about, but when he found my last word when I'd left one for later, he then found out that it was like ripping the last page out of a book or worse. He doesn't interfere with my grid activities now, unless I ask him to.

9:44 pm

Minveryork

na 5/10 word is a standard monetary unit of Nigeria.

does anyone know how the timing of the flip works with daylight savings?

11:38 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

11:38 pm

Pinikula

probably the regular time...

11:39 pm

Pinikula

...and then you'll have 25 hours to finish it

11:39 pm

Pinikula

I think the time change happens "officially" in the wee hours of the mornin'

11:39 pm

jmcnrick

I was thinking about that jafro and since the flip is at midnight central time the extra hour comes later

11:39 pm

MPittore

huh????

11:39 pm

jmcnrick

probably be big when since i am flying tomorrow

11:39 pm

Minveryork

This puzzle will flip at midnight since daylight savings does not start until 2:00 A.M. I think this is correct.
