Hey Dax & DIz. I know the 8/9 combo is EV, but could you possibly give me a clue please?

2:47 am

Soodle

Thanks Diz.... searching :-)

2:47 am

Haz1558

2:48 am

FMitch

Morning/evening all

2:48 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:48 am

Soodle

Oh thank you both. I was really struggling with that one.

2:49 am

dizgrannie

did ya get it???

2:49 am

Haz1558

Hello to my fellow snow sufferers... and diz.

2:49 am

FMitch

We have had about a foot of snow overnight :(

2:49 am

Soodle

We are now at about 4 foot of frozen snow. Its nighmarish.

2:49 am

Haz1558

You're worse than us, FM, or at least north of the border. How're you doing, Soodle?

2:50 am

Haz1558

I'll not complain about the few inches we have, in that case.

2:50 am

dizgrannie

'fellow snow sufferers' haha....1st 2 days of summer here and we are rained out...grrr

2:50 am

FMitch

4 feet!!!

2:50 am

Soodle

Totally snowed in here. No bread in the house (let them eat cake...) rapidly running out of solid fuel and most importantly dog food. I am trying not to panic!

2:51 am

dizgrannie

WOW glad I don't get snow, hope you are all well stock up in case of a snowin

2:52 am

dizgrannie

Soodle, boil up pasta for the dogs....our dogs luv it

2:52 am

Haz1558

Or rice as well.

2:53 am

Haz1558

And an Irish dog will never say no to a spud.

2:53 am

marigold

cev e

2:53 am

Soodle

Good idea, Diz. We only have 2 dogs left. Poor little Buster was hit and killed by a car yesterday. The car completely lost control. If it had been a person, the same would have happened. Thats why I am just not venturing out :-(

2:53 am

Haz1558

I hear your Buster is gone, Soodle.

2:54 am

dizgrannie

AWWWW {HUGGLES} Soodle...xxx

2:55 am

Soodle

Oh Haz, it is just heartbreaking. The mercy is that he was killed outright. Thank goodness he wasn't badly mangled, because we couldn't have gotten to a vet.

2:55 am

Haz1558

No doubt you'll be kicking yourself for ever having complained about him. I'm sorry - but as you say, glad it was quick.

2:55 am

FMitch

yes at least it was quick but still v sad.

2:56 am

Soodle

For a split second when I woke up this morning, I thought yesterday was just a bad dream :-(

2:56 am

Haz1558

I know, it takes a while for things to sink in, doesn't it?

2:58 am

dizgrannie

Hope you all have Central Heating (we call it reverse cycle aircondtioner) and are keeping warm...xxx

2:58 am

FMitch

oh yes diz, heating is on and ticking over nicely.

2:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, keeping warm.

2:59 am

FMitch

and I am going to make a beef and onion casserole today.

3:00 am

Haz1558

I made a huge pot of soup yesterday so we'll have more of that at lunch today. You really need comfort food in this weather!

3:00 am

dizgrannie

I honestly can say Have never been snowed in, have been to the snow and thats it....been rained in as of the past few days...LOL...but can still get to shops etc.

3:01 am

Soodle

I will be demanding virtual home-made soup and beef and onion casserole from Haz and FM later.....

3:01 am

Haz1558

It's pretty to look at, diz, but not easy to cope with.

3:02 am

FMitch

*puts a care package together for Soodle (and the dogs)*

3:02 am

Soodle

Thanks FM :-)

3:03 am

Soodle

I better go and do stuff. Happy babbling all, and thanks for the EV clues. Poof

3:03 am

Haz1558

Bye Soodle.

3:04 am

dizgrannie

emailing bowls of chicken an vegetable stew with fresh crusty bread for dippers...enjoy...LOL

3:05 am

FMitch

Byeee Soodle

3:05 am

Haz1558

What about your mum, FM, will she be snowed in as well?

3:06 am

FMitch

When I spoke to her yesterday they had only had a light dusting and R had been out to the shops. I would guess they have had more snow overnight, will call her later.

3:06 am

Haz1558

Hopefully that means that they're okay and they've got fresh provisions.

3:07 am

FMitch

Not that there is much I can do as I can't use the car.

3:07 am

Haz1558

I know, frustrating for everyone.

3:08 am

FMitch

Oh well, just ahve to sit it out. All footie matches are canx until further notice too.

3:09 am

FMitch

What are you up to today?

3:09 am

Haz1558

Pitches unplayable and roads not in great shape - it makes sense.

3:10 am

Haz1558

RDA has been cancelled because the lane to the stables is only passable in four wheel drive vehicles. So, staying put, although we haven't nearly as much snow as you.

3:11 am

Haz1558

I'll get out with Spangle for a walk, she likes the snow.

3:12 am

FMitch

silly dog :) WEll I am going to get some breakfast and then contemplate the grid. Probably see you later.

3:12 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

3:21 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

poor Soodle; it makes all other problems seem very unimportant.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

We are pretty much snowed in but housekeeper's husband just came and cleared paths up the driveway for the trash and for feeding the birds and made the parking reasonably clear so husband could get the car out.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

Ruby has what I think is terrible ecema on her legs and we are trying to help her, but it is too difficult to get to the vet's in about 3 ft of snow.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

eczema?*

3:29 am

Haz1558

eczema, yes, is the spelling.

3:30 am

lynxxx

Hello all. Poor Ruby!

3:30 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

3:30 am

Daxl3

i hope hes okay rubyfoo

3:30 am

Daxl3

she*

3:31 am

rubyfoo

I learned to make good bandages from the nurse who cared for husband, and I wa actually able to keep bandage on for 4 hours, enough time for the meds to absorb, I hope

3:31 am

rubyfoo

she seems to be less uncomfortable

3:31 am

rubyfoo

3:37 am

Haz1558

Health warning to the uninhibited dancer - 'Don't slip a di4/6 at the di5/14.'

3:37 am

rubyfoo

ty haz

3:37 am

rubyfoo

disco

3:38 am

rubyfoo

didn't sees those yet

3:38 am

Haz1558

Just to prove she's got it...

3:38 am

rubyfoo

whoops, shamefaced.....

3:38 am

lynxxx

she has a sick puppy and sick husband - I think we should not punish her further

3:39 am

rubyfoo

loves lynxx!!!

3:39 am

Haz1558

You're calling those mitigating circumstances, lynxxx?

3:39 am

Haz1558

Just consulting the rule book.

3:39 am

lynxxx

a double whammy - sure

3:40 am

Haz1558

Exceptions may be made in the case of personal sickness or in extreme circumstances the illness of others present in the immediate family circle. I suppose it counts.

3:41 am

lynxxx

whew

3:41 am

Haz1558

You're very lucky, ruby, to have Portia/lynxxx here to plead your cause.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

well, I can hold my head part way up again -- maybe

3:44 am

lynxxx

any further news from 'that' court/judge Ruby?

3:50 am

FMitch

Back from breakfast and time to have a look for words.

3:51 am

lynxxx

morning FM

3:51 am

rubyfoo

back again, husband left the car window open through all this snow and left in the other car with the keys!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

one thing after another.

3:51 am

FMitch

Hello lynxxx! Had a good day?

3:51 am

rubyfoo

We received half the settlement (not yet, even) that the lawyer asked for and now have to pay 425 euros to the court-appointed doctor to see if we have a case for damages.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Also, the dog is back at home!

3:52 am

lynxxx

achieved what I wanted so yes (though tired/sore)

3:52 am

FMitch

Morning ruby, oh dear re hubby :(

3:53 am

rubyfoo

he is a mess and shoveled snow yesterday which totally flattened him! I am not his mother and he gets mad at me if I tell him he's overdoing

3:53 am

lynxxx

Oh good grief! where is all that concern

3:53 am

lynxxx

not from you Ruby - from the villagers and mayor and police

3:53 am

FMitch

THat sounds like a very unsatisfactory outcome (so far) on the court case.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I am disgusted. And the dog-owner, who was found guilty, only had to pay a fine of 450 euros to the court.

3:54 am

lynxxx

Soiunds like an unsatisfactory outcome for the whole neigbourhood

3:54 am

rubyfoo

French criminal justice, the ultimate oxymoron, I fear

3:55 am

Atalante

bonjour bonjour

3:55 am

lynxxx

Hello Ata!!

3:55 am

Haz1558

Bonjour!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

it will wind up costing us a lot of money plus the terrible psychological and physical toll it has taken on poor husband

3:55 am

FMitch

Hey Ata!!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

bonjour, ata

3:55 am

Atalante

working from home :)

3:56 am

lynxxx

It is all very wrong Ruby

3:56 am

lynxxx

Are you snowed in too Ata?

3:56 am

FMitch

HOw much has fallen Ata?

3:56 am

rubyfoo

it's not like he bit the dog!

3:57 am

Atalante

refresh for spaniel dismay!

3:57 am

Atalante

the fields have about a foot, everywhere else about 6 inches

3:58 am

Haz1558

ruby, I think at this point you have to cut your losses and give up the fight. You're not going to win on the terms you want and it's not worth the struggle for both of you to continue.

3:58 am

lynxxx

oh poor Hobbit!

3:59 am

lynxxx

Words of wisdom from Haz. I think it is so disappointing that the community hasn't supported you both too

4:00 am

rubyfoo

I think, once the next stage is over, they will all come together with a petition to destroy the dog

4:00 am

FMitch

oh poor hobbity!

4:01 am

Haz1558

I'd love nothing better than for justice to be done, but it's not worth the anxiety you've given yourselves. Certainly let the villagers carry on, but I think you should take a back seat.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Okay, having dispensed words of wisdom and having read the rule book twice through to see if there's anything about French justice (NOTHING THERE) I must take five minutes to throw on some more layers.

4:04 am

Atalante

good idea!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

no matter how it turns out, it's a bad situation. At least, this way, husband feels he's doing something

4:05 am

lynxxx

Is this a colder start to Winter than last year for you?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

this is the most snow we've had in 13 yrs here!

4:05 am

FMitch

Yes!

4:06 am

rubyfoo

and never this early

4:09 am

FMitch

So whats the verdict on the grid, good one?

4:09 am

rubyfoo

nice grid, almost half for me

4:10 am

FMitch

wtg ruby! you are miles ahead of me.

4:10 am

lynxxx

I'm just fiddling around, going OK

4:10 am

rubyfoo

half, yay!

4:10 am

FMitch

I keep getting distracted by things so input of words is at a snails pace.

4:12 am

Atalante

Input? Words?

4:13 am

FMitch

lol, Im using my typing skills in the chog rather than the grid.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

for nbt, hint for the top-right l

4:14 am

rubyfoo

all the l's come from the other one.....

4:14 am

FMitch

mind you I just typed that whole sentence in the wrong box. There is no hope for me today :)

4:14 am

rubyfoo

and I'll bet enable didn't accept it....

4:15 am

FMitch

LOL!

4:15 am

lynxxx

lo5.10

4:15 am

lynxxx

it means a scoundrel or worthless person

4:16 am

lynxxx

comes between the misplaced and misplaces

4:16 am

rubyfoo

ty lynxx

4:19 am

rubyfoo

and enable accepts the Italian wine....go figure!

4:20 am

Atalante

ooo I got an 8! yay!

4:20 am

lynxxx

I've missed that smugness!

4:21 am

rubyfoo

no 8's, no 9's, but have to make a soup -- will try to use up all the yucky old vegs in fridge

4:21 am

FMitch

you can feel it emenating can't you lynxxx :)

4:21 am

rubyfoo

see you later!!

4:21 am

Atalante

it's worse now I can prove I'm the most intelligent person in the world. Well, nearly :P

4:21 am

FMitch

Bye ruby.

4:22 am

FMitch

There will be no stopping your world domination now Ata :)

4:22 am

lynxxx

what??? how/why is that?

4:23 am

FMitch

HAve you joined Mensa yet?

4:23 am

FMitch

go on tell lynxx, Ata.

4:23 am

Atalante

oh lol, was rooting through a lot of my gran's stuff the other day and found a report from an educational psychologist person done when I was 6 basically saying I was so vastly intelligent at that age that I was as intelligent as a normal primary school teacher *sporfle*

4:24 am

dfmchfhf

*blinks blearily*
I slept through the flip :o(

4:24 am

FMitch

*passes dfm a coffee*

4:24 am

lynxxx

oh my Lord - major major smugness!

4:24 am

dfmchfhf

but caffeine puts me to sleep! :o/

4:25 am

Atalante

it really was quite quite funny to read

4:25 am

lynxxx

morning dfm

4:25 am

FMitch

Ah ok, how about juice?

4:26 am

dfmchfhf

juice works :o)

4:26 am

FMitch

It was a facinating insight Ata.

4:27 am

lynxxx

but then again maybe the pyschol. did not have a very high opinion of primary school teachers - ?

4:27 am

Atalante

the whole thing went on for pages. I was giggling madly while reading it and mother was most put out that I was finding it funny

4:27 am

FMitch

I wonder how many layers Haz is putton as she has been gone quite some time now.

4:28 am

lynxxx

the thermal underwear takes a while to put on I understand

4:28 am

dfmchfhf

hehe the letters I have left looks like a heart...

4:28 am

FMitch

*giggle*

4:29 am

Haz1558

I'm back.

4:30 am

dfmchfhf

hi haz! :o)

4:30 am

Haz1558

Hello, dfm and everyone.

4:30 am

Atalante

hello warm haz

4:30 am

FMitch

we were wondering where you had got to. But I guess you cleaned the house from top to bottom whilst donning layers and doing the ironing.

4:31 am

Haz1558

Body warmer on over jumpers, feeling better now.

4:31 am

dfmchfhf

I think I'm sleepy... I've been stuck on the C for a long time for nbt, any hints?

4:31 am

Haz1558

No, I was also checking on the food and water supply for the birds.

4:32 am

Haz1558

ce4/6 - give up

4:32 am

FMitch

I work backwards dfm and haven't got to the c's yet.

4:32 am

Haz1558

ce5 - gives up

4:33 am

FMitch

My birds are v confused as the food and water is in a different place today as I can't get up the garden.

4:33 am

Haz1558

ce4 and ce5 - padded ones provided in the Home for the Bewildered.

4:33 am

dfmchfhf

thanks haz :o)
nbt and 50 left

4:34 am

Haz1558

Husband bought some huge feeders for the birds. I think he was getting fed up with having to replace the food every five minutes in the smaller ones.

4:35 am

FMitch

What is it with men and having to buy big. Mum was commenting that R had brought back the biggest bag of bird seed she had ever seen.

4:36 am

Haz1558

I think it's because it's better value?

4:36 am

FMitch

Talking of which I had better give her a quick ring just to check all is well. BRB.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Hope all's well.

4:37 am

FMitch

on phone with them now and the central heating has packed up

4:37 am

Haz1558

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

4:38 am

FMitch

but they have an engineer there now.

4:38 am

Atalante

phew!

4:38 am

Haz1558

Oh good!

4:38 am

Haz1558

I was going to ask if they had alternative source of heat, but thank goodness they've got help already.

4:39 am

FMitch

BRB

4:40 am

Atalante

drat. Idotea isn't allowed. That's a type of little shrimpy thing

4:41 am

Haz1558

A y in the grid would be good.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Then we could have identity and 70.

4:46 am

FMitch

yay engineer has replaced a part and all is working again. Thank goodness and bless the engineer wh has a 4 wheel drive car!
Phone call may take a while.

4:46 am

Haz1558

That's good news, FM.

4:47 am

Atalante

aha, vets just phoned, hobbit has a reprieve from her trim until next week

4:48 am

Haz1558

It'll save you having to try to get through the snow as well.

4:49 am

Atalante

yep! though I really could just walk her down tehre, it's very close. BUt still, it's easiest

4:49 am

Haz1558

Thoughts on Apprentice?

4:50 am

Atalante

hmmm. not a particularly interesting one. No Stuart idiocy. Chicken feet are horrid. Phoning up Gordon Ramsay for truffles was amusing. Laura was fairly hopeless and how on earth did the boys win??

4:51 am

Haz1558

I think the penalties for not getting an item should have been far higher.

4:51 am

Haz1558

At one point I thought that this is being edited in such a way as to make you feel it inevitable that the girls win, therefore had a sneaky suspicion that the boys might do it.

4:52 am

Haz1558

We were glad to see Laura out, she's been such a moan the whole way through.

4:53 am

Atalante

Yes, but it didn't almost seem fair that the boys could win without getting all the items.

4:54 am

Haz1558

I know, I agree.

4:54 am

FMitch

and back :)

4:54 am

Haz1558

But then it was pointed out that it was more than just a treasure hunt, it was a cut-price treasure hunt and the girls lost sight of that.

4:54 am

Atalante

and I'm surprised nothing was really said about the boys making up stories. Normally AS doesn't like that sort of thing

4:55 am

Haz1558

I know, and the stories were so rubbish, all told in that monotone voice.

4:55 am

roncook

good to hear you ladies are feeding the birds,every time i put food out it gets covered by fresh snow,and they cannot get water from my pond as it is covered with slush.

4:56 am

FMitch

Hi ron.

4:56 am

Haz1558

Hello, ron. They're going mad for the sunflower hearts and the water has to keep being replenished as it keeps freezing.

4:57 am

Haz1558

We've just put a tin thing out on the table for the water.

4:57 am

FMitch

same here, I had to use a different container for the water today and the birds are all spooked but what can you do.

4:58 am

roncook

Hi Haz i have got a football in the pond to keep a space free of ice to save the liner but the ball is in a place the birds cannot drink from.

4:58 am

Atalante

adopt a word? how do you adopt a word? adoptaword.com

4:58 am

dfmchfhf

football in the pond? o.0
hi ron :o)

4:59 am

Haz1558

Some people should set up adoptaphrase.com 'At the end of the day' 'When all's said and done'

5:00 am

FMitch

run it up the flag pole.

5:00 am

roncook

Hello dfmcfhf, say hi to my son in Vancouver,he reckons we have more snow than they have there.

5:01 am

Haz1558

You know, it would be far easier if you called yourself mdf. That rolls off the tongue nicely.

5:01 am

dfmchfhf

you probably do, it's usually not that snowy in Vancouver...
heard they had a big snowfall recently though

5:01 am

dfmchfhf

haz you can call me mdf if you want! :o)

5:01 am

FMitch

and we could build him into all sorts of useful shelves and cupboards :)

5:02 am

roncook

As for the football in the pond i used to have a heater but am now watching my carbon footprint,and saving money.

5:02 am

Haz1558

But if I do, will it ring your wee bell to let you know you're being talked about?

5:02 am

dfmchfhf

but I don't want to be built in4 shelves and cupboards Do:

5:03 am

FMitch

oh phooey thats me off to the PB then.

5:03 am

dfmchfhf

it already looks for "dmf" as well, might as well make it look for "mdf" too

5:04 am

Haz1558

That's settled, then.

5:05 am

dfmchfhf

just keep me out of cupboards and shelves.

5:05 am

roncook

at least if you were mdf you could get a job with the blue film people as you would always have wood!! lol.

5:05 am

FMitch

lol naughty ron, but technically mdf is reconstituted stuff.

5:06 am

FMitch

so you would have to watch out for the splinters.

5:06 am

roncook

yer but its still woody

5:06 am

FMitch

:)

5:07 am

FMitch

time to put the kettle on and walk about a bit back in a bit.

5:08 am

dfmchfhf

*yaa~~awn* I think I'm gonna go back to sleep...

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone.

5:08 am

roncook

Rusty just bought me a hot chocy sans rum shucks she says it is too early for some caribbean sunshine in my drink.

5:09 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Sally.

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

Hasve fresh pot of coffee here.

5:09 am

Haz1558

See you later, dmf/mdf. Sleep well!

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

What did I say?

5:10 am

roncook

woody is tired out.

5:10 am

dfmchfhf

hi sally :o)

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

Hi dfm.

5:11 am

dfmchfhf

and if I start to stop replying... "night" all (although the sun is almost just starting to rise...)

5:24 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'm going to see if I can get anything useful done around here. Enjoy the grid, and see you later. Bye!

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Haz. See you later perhaps.

5:28 am

FMitch

Morning Sally.

5:29 am

Atalante

hi sally

5:29 am

Sally-catlover

Hi FM. Came on just as you were having a problem. Your heating?

5:29 am

Sally-catlover

And hi Ata.

5:30 am

FMitch

No! my v elderly parents but all is well now as engineer was able to get to them thanks to 4 wheel drive and spare parts.

5:31 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, OK. I didn't scroll back, just saw a mention of heating engineers whisking past my eyes.

5:31 am

FMitch

So thankful to whoever he is.

5:31 am

FMitch

or should that to 'to whomever he is'?

5:32 am

Sally-catlover

It's OK, Haz has left for the moment.

5:32 am

FMitch

phew!

5:33 am

FMitch

So hows you today and how is hubby doing?

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

I do wish those two S letters were together, could make so many words with a double one.

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

I'm well, hubby doing pretty well at the moment, but we have battened down the hatches and will not go out for the moment! Will make bread later and have plenty of food and log burner alight so all is well!

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, two exclamation marks in same paragraph. Naughty Sally.

5:35 am

FMitch

Good to hear all of that :)

5:36 am

Sally-catlover

Gather it's pretty bad down your way. Niece who works at Christ's Hospital is snowed in at work which she thinks is most unfair!

5:36 am

FMitch

If it would stop snowing I would happily don wellies and venture in4 the village just for the fun of walking in snow ... but perhaps not.

5:37 am

Sally-catlover

I bought some Yaktrax for my boots last year FM, and they are invaluable for walking in the snow.

5:37 am

lynxxx

back. Hi Sally

5:37 am

FMitch

I think skis would work well here today.

5:37 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo lynxxx

5:38 am

FMitch

Hi again lynxxx

5:38 am

Atalante

so fed up of the snow

5:38 am

lynxxx

what happens with the chickens in the snow?

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

They stay under cover. They don't like walking on it.

5:40 am

FMitch

there has to be a joke response to lynxxx's question but I just can't think of one :(

5:40 am

daykat

l

5:41 am

Sally-catlover

Did try myself FM.

5:41 am

FMitch

If ruru was here I bet he would come up with a great one liner.

5:41 am

Sally-catlover

Well I suppose you could say that you get instant frozen chicken.

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh, two lovely pheasants outside the window.

5:42 am

FMitch

oh wow!

5:42 am

lynxxx

We have been having 'dumps' of rain combined with warm temps. All very steamy. My Angel Trumpet tree is totally covered in flowers - but I am going crazy tonight (itchy skin & slight headache) with the fragrance, I will have to pull at least half the flowers off it tomorrow

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

You do not have my sympathy lynxxx :-)

5:44 am

FMitch

poor lynxxx, will have to google Angel Trumpet tree.

5:45 am

Sally-catlover

Nice half way, got 100 without too much trouble. Now the wall starts!

5:46 am

Atalante

isn't that datura?

5:46 am

FMitch

What lovely flowers.

5:46 am

lynxxx

Yes - think it has had a few name changes

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

Deadly poisonous, isn't it.

5:47 am

sami1986

where in australia are you Lynxxx?

5:47 am

lynxxx

Yeah - but I just love the flowers - except when it is hot/humid

5:47 am

lynxxx

In Melbourne Sami

hurshy

hi all my daddy's aorta kind of ripped apart yesterday and they had to replace a whole bunch of artery and the next couple days are very critical we have to hope he doesn't have any complications including stroke and stroke is a worry lessening over time but for about a month and must hope the new part where it is sewed onto the heart valve doesn't tear away because there would be nothing they could do in that case and please pray if you pray thank you.

5:50 am

hurshy

he is only 55.

5:50 am

lynxxx

Welcome Sami. You can usually tell where 'pro' players are from if you click on their names/flags

5:50 am

5:53 am

FMitch

I was reading back in the log looking for clues earlier and it sounds like something has happened to Nancy Boy, hopefully we will be able to get some news from someone.

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

What sort of thing FM? What time should I look at?

5:54 am

FMitch

I don't know what sort of thing but it was about half an hour after the flip.

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

OK, will go and look.

5:55 am

FMitch

Hi Aloy and peri! good to see you.

5:55 am

Aloyisius

ty for letting us know, FM

5:55 am

Aloyisius

and hi to peri.. def. soup weather, right?

5:56 am

FMitch

um it was about 12.30 log time

5:58 am

Atalante

yes, diesnt sound good

5:59 am

periwinkle

oh dear, wonder what happened and if he is ok

6:00 am

Sally-catlover

Oh dear, just read back. Thanks for the tip FM. If something has actually happened to him, can't think why it couldn't have been put briefly in the chog.

6:00 am

FMitch

well lets try and keep the smiles going and support those that need it.

6:01 am

Atalante

its only for the Secret Clique to know

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

Someone will know, that's for sure.

6:01 am

FMitch

Ata don't start.

6:02 am

Atalante

just explaining

6:02 am

FMitch

k

6:02 am

Sally-catlover

For a lot of us we don't actually know other Babblers in real life so if anything happened to one of us, we would just vanish from Babble without trace presumably.

6:03 am

lynxxx

Speaking of vanishing, anyone heard from Sprite?

6:03 am

hurshy

i think my husband would probably know to post something here if i died or something - i mean he might think of it after a while.

6:04 am

FMitch

true Sally and I had a nightmare a while back if anything happened to me - trying to explain to my non internet savvy parents how to let babble friends know :)

6:04 am

Sally-catlover

Mine wouldn't.

6:05 am

miametro

morning all :)

6:05 am

FMitch

She is usually on in the afternoons these days lynxxx

6:05 am

Sally-catlover

But you know Ata and Haz in real life, FM, so presumably one of them would know. Perhaps I should leave vital instructions in my will. Amend FB, tell Babble, that sort of thing.

6:05 am

FMitch

Hey mia!

6:05 am

lynxxx

Great! thankyou FM, I have been concerned

6:06 am

lynxxx

hi Mia

6:06 am

Aloyisius

so many of us enjoy chatting with NB.. now I am concerned.. how did you know it was him, FM? I couldn't tell from the chatlog I read

6:06 am

JBV

hello everyone - just a moment to stop in and tell you I'm here, I'm OK, but today will be the hardest day of all - we bury my husband at 11:00. I also want to send hugs and good wishes to Hurshy and to our dear Nancy Boy

6:06 am

FMitch

Mum can't get her head round internet friends, I tried to use the pen pal analagy (as she has had a pen pal for years and they have met up) but she still can't quite grasp it.

6:07 am

Sally-catlover

Because JC said he had spoken to (sent a message to?) Frank, who is NB's partner.

6:07 am

Aloyisius

my deepest condolences, JBV.. (( ))

6:07 am

FMitch

Will be thinking of you JBV.

6:07 am

Hello JBV, will be thinking of you ((hugs))

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

We will all be thinking of you today JBV.

6:08 am

Aloy as Sally said Frank is NB's partner.

6:08 am

Seriously FM. Perhaps you should just let one of your internet-savvy friends know where to post a message (Babble etc). None of us know what will happen.

6:10 am

FMitch

It is something I have on my to do list Sally as no-one would know how to access client files or whe they are ... and and and...

FMitch

Ata you still here?

6:16 am

Aloyisius

we are such "babies" here in the US.. that is how I felt as I learned so much French history.. the buildings, art, etc.. centuries old.. so much to try to absorb, couldn't do it justice but tried

6:17 am

Sally-catlover

How long were you there for Aloy?

6:17 am

hi Trif

6:20 am

Trifioso

i dont chat before nbt, so I have been lurking for a bit. the news, but no real details, about nancyboy is most concerning

6:21 am

FMitch

can you tell us anything Trif?

6:21 am

EspritdJean

what's up with NB?

6:21 am

Trifioso

no, i have no idea! not in the secret society either

6:23 am

FMitch

darn, I am worried about him.
EvaN will be v upset when she hears there is something wrong.

6:23 am

Trifioso

it could also be wicked good news, I suppose. he won an award, was suddenly welcomed back into his family, I just don't know

6:24 am

Atalante

yes, but not chatting

6:24 am

FMitch

Oh too late Ata was going to say look at ITV as they have the most georgous pup on there.

6:25 am

Trifioso

I have my sisters and a cousin on here, as well as my pastor, so if I got hit by a bus or something, some one could let you know.

6:25 am

FMitch

a 9 week old lab of some sort but looks like it will grow into a monster.

6:25 am

Aloyisius

am partial to labs, won't look

6:26 am

FMitch

funny how we view our babble buddies as part of the network that need to be told if something happens.

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

Back from phone.

6:28 am

Sally-catlover

It was someone ringing me to thank them for sending them this link. You may all have seen it before but if not some of you may enjoy it. You will need to turn your sound on: <http://www.youtube.com/user/AlphabetP

Just watching your link Sally.

6:30 am

Haz1558

Hello, Aloy. I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed Paris.

6:31 am

Haz1558

I'd have been amazed if you'd not liked the place.

6:31 am

Aloyisius

I did indeed, Haz.. my first time, was agog to say the least

6:31 am

Sally-catlover

I love Paris, Aloy.

6:32 am

Haz1558

It's just beautiful.

6:32 am

Aloyisius

yes, even in Nov.. it snowed twice..

6:33 am

Sally-catlover

Did you just go to Paris Aloy, or other parts of Europe as well?

6:33 am

Aloyisius

wore a quilted vest under my winter coat, so in pics, I look like the Pillsbury doughboy, lol

6:33 am

Trifioso

hello haz...sorry, got distracted there for a second....

6:33 am

Aloyisius

just Paris

6:34 am

Aloyisius

next year we hope to visit Italy

6:36 am

Haz1558

Another flash mob? I love them, the one in the Tmobile advert from Heathrow is great as well.

6:36 am

lynxxx

Those Canadians are pretty classy

6:37 am

Trifioso

some one had that as their fb status the other day, and I was a soppy mess after watching it. I want to either be in a flash mob, or at least witness one, someday

I have it on at the minute, Sally. Reached my favourite bit 'The kingdom... is become THE KINGDOM OF OUR LORD'

6:38 am

Haz1558

I love how the volume rises!

6:38 am

Trifioso

I would have been singing along....anyone else?

6:38 am

Aloyisius

tx, FM.. bet I will be weepy too

6:39 am

Haz1558

I have the CD of Messiah in the car, I like to play it through December.

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

That girl at the beginning has an amazing voice. But it was the faces of the diners I loved.

6:39 am

Aloyisius

Who has the tissues?

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Passes box of tissues round Babble.

6:40 am

FMitch

well can you imagine sitting there eating our burger and suddenly that happens :)

6:40 am

Trifioso

I thought it was mostly an Easter song? I mean, whatever, I love it, but at my church we sing it every Easter....

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Wouldn't it be wonderful FM.

6:40 am

EspritdJean

it is an Easter song, but you hardly ever hear it at easter

6:40 am

Trifioso

I love how the first gal never gets off the phone!

6:41 am

EspritdJean

tomorrow I am going to Messiah Rocks, a slightly different presentation

6:41 am

FMitch

Any day that music touches you is a good day to sing.

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

I think you'll find that isn't a phone but her MP3 for the sound.

6:41 am

Aloyisius

nope.. you know, I am still using the B.Expert prog. you sent me after my old computer crashed, FM.. have it on a flash drive and so.. if I go to the reg. Babble site, I will be able to link off the site, but not while using the flash drive.. it is ok.. have something to look forward to shortly (-:

6:42 am

Sally-catlover

If you look they are exactly in time, and she is leading. That last pause is exactly two beats. You don't do that without someone leading.

6:42 am

Trifioso

the thing that really amazes me is that they did this seemingly without a director. that is one GOOD chorale!

6:42 am

FMitch

Any day that music touches you is a good day to sing.

6:42 am

Aloyisius

brb.. kitchen is calling (-:

6:42 am

Sally-catlover

Also the man playing the background music has the score on his keyboard if you look carefully :-)

And yes, Trif, I love the Antwerp one as well. Can you imagine the organisation required?

6:53 am

aren't we all so funny?

6:53 am

FMitch

yup we are :)

6:54 am

Trifioso

I thank God every day for you all. Life sure would be less fun without you.

6:54 am

FMitch

I feel 'right cheered up' as my Grandmother would have said.

6:54 am

Trifioso

me too, fm

6:55 am

Haz1558

That's good. I know people are having tough times right now (JBV and hurshy) but there's something cheering about enjoying/enduring together.

6:56 am

FMitch

Just glad I didn't put on any mascara this morning

6:56 am

Sally-catlover

lol FM. Obviously not the day for your cleaner then.

6:57 am

Haz1558

Not fully made up and sitting down to babble. Standards, woman!

6:57 am

FMitch

Oh he blew me off Sally, called in sick. Doesn't eat and fruit or veg and wonder why he keeps getting coughs and colds?? I ask you!

6:57 am

Haz1558

(Okay, so I have no make-up on either but it's a scheduled letting the skin breathe day.)

6:57 am

Sally-catlover

Didn't you know Haz? Dr_G is planning live web cam links for the new Babble. So those who play before getting dressed will be outed!

6:58 am

Trifioso

DREAD

6:58 am

Haz1558

There'll be no live webcam in this house!

6:58 am

Aloyisius

well, I'm off to get cheered/happy weepy too.. have a long "to do" list as we are headed south in a couple of days.. antifreeze for the toilets, etc.. oh no.. not me, Sally.. still in my jammies.. no no no, lol

6:58 am

Haz1558

I'll just employ my patented method for typing from under the desk. Arm extensions.

6:58 am

Trifioso

((((whispering))) I am not actually enthused about the new babble having the instant private message capability. just makes me paranoid

6:59 am

Aloyisius

Take care Aloy and see you warmer climes.

6:59 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Aloy!

I know what you mean, Trif. We'll see if it's used much.

6:59 am

Haz1558

Bye, Aloy, safe travel.

6:59 am

Sally-catlover

Well presumably you can ignore it Trif.

6:59 am

Aloyisius

will do.. neighbors in Fla. tell us a cold snap there too.. thank goodness they can't blame us for bringing it down..

7:00 am

Sally-catlover

I think it will be a shame if people use that rather than the chog though.

7:00 am

Aloyisius

ttfn.. poof

7:00 am

Trifioso

i envision a chog where by people will write what should have been private in this box instead, and all hell will break loose. Happens with grid words all the time, so it's a fait accompli, I should think

7:01 am

JBV

thank you so much for that wonderful uplifting hallelujah moment - it was just what I needd to get started today. Love you all - talk to you tomorrow

7:01 am

Starts at 12.38 Babble time. JC says to m9f9l
"Did you get the email?", and got the response "too overwhelmed to even respond yet", then JC says "We had a chat with Frank on MSN", best discussed there. So we don't know what's up unless we are in the inner circle! But presumably some other Babblers do.

7:59 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, my quotes are a bit in the wrong place but I think you get the gist.

Great promo!

Uneaixoise

:-D

8:00 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I hope he is OK and it isn't just perhaps a break-up of a relationship or something. Not that that isn't awful, but not usually life-threatening.

8:00 am

I was thinking the same thing, sally . . .

plain snow is ok but it tends to melt and turn to ice

8:18 am

tomorrow might be a different issue as it has snowed all day and is going down well below breezing overnight. No going anywhere tomorrow I think.

A real man is a woman's best friend. He will
Never stand her up and never let her down.
He will reassure her when she feels insecure
And comfort her after a bad day.
He will inspire her to do things she never
Thought she could do; to live without fear
And forget regret. He will enable her to
Express her deepest emotions and give in to
Her most intimate desires. He will make sure
She always feels as though she's the most
Beautiful woman in the room and will enable
Her to be the most confident, sexy,
Seductive and invincible.

No wait... Sorry...
I'm thinking of wine.

Its wine that does all that damn.
Never mind.

so take advantage of the down time, Eva,

8:30 am

You're welcome, peri. Hello Annie, Nono, FM, herin, Jen and EvaN (they're the only ones I can see without scrolling down)

8:30 am

*grin* you new wife you!

8:30 am

FMitch

Hey Haz!

8:31 am

EvaNadine

peri, i try as much as possible. :)
but despite not having much to do this time of year, we are still supposed to somehow appear busy.

8:31 am

Haz1558

Hello FM. Did you venture out in the snow yet?

8:31 am

EvaNadine

FM, i do tend to do most of the cooking... so i like a little variety in what i eat!
yesterdays new recipe was panko-crusted chicken with a citrus butter sauce. :)

8:32 am

periwinkle

what type of work do you do, Eva? (what type of business I guess is what I meant to ask)

8:32 am

periwinkle

ooh that sounds good, did hubby like it?

8:32 am

FMitch

Have no idea what the panko crusted bit is but the rest sounds delish.

8:33 am

EvaNadine

i do software and application testing -- im a contractor for the government.
the agency we work for heavily relies on congress for their work -- when congress isnt busy, neither are we, for the most part.
we do have to come in on saturday morning for work, but right now, things are very light -- they usually are around the holidays...

8:33 am

EvaNadine

panko is an asian-style type of breadcrumb. extra crispy. :)
and yes, hubby and i quite enjoyed it!

8:33 am

periwinkle

that explains it then, ty

8:34 am

FMitch

Haz, I did and it was fun and Budgens was empty of most things but it was great stomping about in the snow.

8:34 am

FMitch

oohhh in which case EvaN double yummy!

8:34 am

Haz1558

Snow is so strange with that cotton wool feeling under your feet.

8:34 am

EvaNadine

panko works better than regular breadcrumbs if you actually want something to have a little crunch to it. ;)

8:34 am

Haz1558

So, EvaN, you play with computers, is that about the height of it?

8:34 am

periwinkle

EvaN tha is not Nigella - it is too late for her!

8:40 am

Haz1558

Hello, Mom.

8:40 am

Mom

good afternoon Haz

8:41 am

Haz1558

I know, she's got the chest but she'd need to use a wig to get the Nigella hair toss.

8:45 am

FMitch

Ah now perhaps that would be the USP for EvaN no pout, no long hair but great recepies and a great dress sense.

8:46 am

FMitch

Stye, class and good food - what more could you ask for? Oh and we could get ruru to provide the wine.

8:47 am

8:48 am

EvaNadine

but at least i try!

8:48 am

FMitch

exactly!

8:48 am

Haz1558

It's better than resorting to ping cookery.

8:49 am

EvaNadine

ping cookery?

8:49 am

Mom

you'll get the hang of it Eva

8:49 am

Haz1558

Microwave. Shove it in, take it out when it pings.

8:49 am

FMitch

the good ole micro

8:49 am

FMitch

However the micro does have it's place in the kitchen.

8:49 am

EvaNadine

hah. thats my preferred method, but only when im just cooking for one...heh

8:50 am

Haz1558

The woman who did the hygiene in catering course I was doing hadn't much of a good word to say about microwaves.

8:51 am

Haz1558

She reckoned they weren't to be trusted because they cook unevenly, leaving pockets of bacteria to multiply and multiply and plot your downfall.

the panko-crusted chicken i did last night was good, but i forgot to pound the chicken thinner before breading it, so the breading got overdone whilst waiting for the chicken to cook. will definitely try that one again and remember to thin the chicken!

11:04 am

I've got a rough and ready lunch nearly ready although it is dinner time here.

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

hell i hope not spoofed. you sent me mail at work about this weekend

11:30 am

jmcnrick

my chicken is left over too -- $7 for an oven roasted chicken make 2 suppers and 3 lunches

11:30 am

jmcnrick

sorry TO it was the only address I had :-(

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i am now logged off. since i am at home and using air card. i will just rephrase using home email

11:30 am

scarydeb

hello all - not getting the clue for the ev8

11:30 am

FMitch

that is good value jmc, my kin of shopping.

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

you could not know i was home

11:31 am

EvaNadine

thats great jmc!
dear hubs doesnt really DO leftovers, so i really need to master the art of turning leftovers into something else, so he doesnt recognize them!

11:31 am

jmcnrick

that would be better and I will delete the work address TO

11:32 am

jmcnrick

A roasted chicken starts out as a roasted chicken and we eat the legs and lots of skin; slice the breast for sandwiches two days; chicken salad with scraps and then last tid bits into a stirfry

11:33 am

FMitch

and use the left overs and carcass to make stock.

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

well the work was ok for daily things.

11:33 am

EvaNadine

i will do that if i make, say, sloppy joes...
sloppy joe one night, then i put some over a salad, then i wrap it up in a tortilla...

11:33 am

jmcnrick

although when I was feeding my hubby and son I got one roasted chicken dinner and then one set of sandwiches and the rest into texas tamale pie

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

chicken leftovers have many uses: pot pie is a snap, also chicken divan, chicken croquettes

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

also queadillas

11:34 am

jmcnrick

what is great when they have the chickens on sale for $5

11:34 am

EvaNadine

i have yet to try cooking a whole bird...
but i could try that when they have the pre-cooked ones on sale!

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

chicken noodle casserole or chicken rice casserole if a little white sauce is ok by you

11:35 am

jmcnrick

I used to make my own stock FM -- I have a bag in the freezer where I would throw carcasses and ends and skins of onions and celery and such and when it got full i would cook it down

11:35 am

jmcnrick

evan I haven't roasted a chicken in decades

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

whole bird is easy with timer. do you have a bacis cookbook with measures and roasting times etc? youus eth epop up but gauge it by the raost times so sides come out in time

11:35 am

FMitch

Same here, still do.

11:36 am

EvaNadine

*bows down to jmc and TO*

11:36 am

jmcnrick

it is easy but I have no time

11:36 am

FMitch

I make my own chichen stock and veg stock but will buy in beef stock.

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

oh evaN, trust me - just takes some guidance and practice, must fins out what both of you like

11:37 am

MollyL

Perdue's pop up timers are a beautiful thing.

11:37 am

EvaNadine

well, thats part of the issue. he is a super picky eater.

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

if you want any of the listed recipes just yell

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

i have never made stock.

11:38 am

FMitch

It is a most satsifying thing TO

11:38 am

EvaNadine

id love to make a thick, chunky soup/stew like my dad sometimes makes, but i dont think chris would eat it. hes not really a soup guy.

11:38 am

FMitch

you take a few ingedients and cook them up and then the fridge/freezer is full of food.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

i bread chicken breasts and freeze with wax paper. can cook in oven or fry healthy even if no time to thaw. and can parmigiana or tons of things - chicken fingers served with honey mustard dressing

11:39 am

MollyL

I have just started making my own vegetable stock. I keep onion ends, celery and carrot ends, broccoli stems and asparagus stems in a zip lock freezer bag. When it gets full enough, I make stock out of it.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't do gravy but in a pinch use cream of chicken soup for it

11:39 am

FMitch

wtg Molly that is great.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

molly i would love to learn that

11:40 am

jmcnrick

that is what I did when I was younger molly

11:41 am

MollyL

Eva, you could make soup and freeze it in individual containers just for you. As long as it doesn't have noodles in it. They get mushy if you freeze them.

11:41 am

jmcnrick

I recommend Texas Tamale pie for left over chicken. corn meal mush in the bottom of a baking pan, sauteed onion garlic chili powder and left over chicken next, then top with cheese and bake.

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds good

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

would like recipe

11:42 am

EvaNadine

i dont bother cooking things for just me, unless im SUPER craving it. we eat most of our dinners together, and i usually end up bringing leftover dinner for lunch. so not many opportunities for me to eat something he wouldnt eat...

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

nice tip, molly.

11:43 am

FMitch

Now is your chance to change that EvaN!

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i am enjoying chat, ty all.

11:44 am

MollyL

TO, like I said, I just save the vegetable ends and stems. Then I cover them with water, add salt, pepper and some herbs and cook for about two hours. It's great stock and it makes wonderful soup.

11:44 am

EvaNadine

maybe i will ask dad his "recipe" for whatever the soup is...
the other challenge is that we have a small freezer, so theres not much room in there for things we arent actually eating...

11:45 am

FMitch

TO did you get my email?

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

i see the potato recipe - have never boiled first, will try. love oregano in them and onions.

11:45 am

FMitch

Oh that is the only way to get the best roasties!!!!!

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

yes ty, fm dear. did you liek the christmas festivities i sent?

11:46 am

EvaNadine

i did those for thanksgiving -- my first time doing them.
they didnt turn out as crispy as his, but were passable. will have to try again -- i also slipped some parsnips in with mine. ;)

11:47 am

FMitch

am saving them for tomorrow dear TO.

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

oh yes, it is getting late there. je and i are trying to attend

11:47 am

FMitch

Oh parsnips and a few small quartered onions work well too

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

11:48 am

jmcnrick

sigh i was blocked from the chog for 5 minutes

11:48 am

FMitch

mmmm slightly charred parsnips mmmm

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

* she doesn;t knoe about the super secret babbler blocker*

11:49 am

jmcnrick

that is the way to do it is slip a few in and then say *but you ate them before* with a surprised look on your face

11:49 am

jmcnrick

*sulking* I just assumed it was FM's revenge

11:50 am

EvaNadine

id never had parsnips until a few years ago. my dad told me he had made my favorite roasted potatoes, but they were really roasted parsnips!
i immediately fell in love. :)

11:51 am

FMitch

Oh jmc!

11:51 am

jmcnrick

11:52 am

11:52 am

jmcnrick

I had thought better of you but then there i was all blocked from talking about food

11:53 am

FMitch

There are sone things we all have to live with jmc, Just don't mention my greek dancing tunic when lynxxx is around.

11:54 am

jmcnrick

lol it will be immediately forgotten *falls to the ground giggling*

11:54 am

jmcnrick

i just saw parsnips in the grocery one day and desided they would go nicely with my turnips

11:54 am

FMitch

*hope you fell in an elegant fahsion*

11:54 am

jmcnrick

did the same with rutabagas

11:55 am

jmcnrick

always elegant except when I blow coffee out my nose from laughing

11:55 am

MollyL

You can make soup for one out of small cans of broth. Throw in some leftover meat and veggies, maybe some rice. Voila.

11:55 am

jmcnrick

I keep working on that too though --- I am open to suggestions

11:56 am

I tend to come when I'm out of sorts and crabby - it helps me lol

3:09 pm

Diplomacy is not alive and well in most quarters it seems. If you can't say something nice about things, don't say anything at all. Why are the people who are in charge of things forget these simple maxims?

3:09 pm

herinfernallady

6:13 pm

Roses6

Poor Gran looks so lost. They were married for 62 years

6:14 pm

Mom

6:14 pm

Mom

6:15 pm

Mom

6:15 pm

Mom

6:15 pm

Mom

grandma was 14 when they married

6:16 pm

herinfernallady

I remember recently Gran bent over to grab something and he slapped her butt.

6:16 pm

Mom

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

Then there was the time Gran had the shortbread I made and she said to Pa whilst wagging it under his nose ''Do you want it???' Then quickly eatiing it

6:18 pm

Mom

6:18 pm

Brookie

Hello!

6:18 pm

6:18 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Brookie. He was Mom.

6:19 pm

Brookie

Hi mom!

6:19 pm

Brookie

Hi herin!

6:19 pm

Mom

how is b.f. doing?

6:19 pm

herinfernallady

When he was in the Air force in the 1940s he stole a plane and did a fly over one of the country towns because he wanted to.

6:19 pm

herinfernallady

B.f is ignoring it all

6:19 pm

Brookie

Mom, are you talking to me or herin?

6:20 pm

Brookie

n.m.

6:20 pm

herinfernallady

Brookie that was at me. B.fs Pa died

6:20 pm

Mom

Herin...

6:20 pm

Brookie

So sorry to hear that, herin.

6:21 pm

Mom

Congratulations

6:21 pm

Brookie

When did he pass away?

6:22 pm

herinfernallady

Wednesday. We were going to see him yesterday. About 2 months ago b.fs mum sent him a text to say that the ''oldies'' were unwell. He never got the message. Found out only last week that he was ill

6:23 pm

Mom

Herin, do they live near you?

6:23 pm

Brookie

What was the illness, if I may ask?

6:23 pm

herinfernallady

Brain thing. Not sure what really. They do live near us.

6:24 pm

Brookie

It must be hard for your b.f. to get closure on something that he didn't have time to mentally prepare for.

6:24 pm

Mom

that is good, then you can visit Gran and keep tabs on her

6:24 pm

herinfernallady

I found out Pa and Great Pa built the house in 1948ish. And then when Gran wanted it to expand Pa fixed it

6:25 pm

herinfernallady

Brookie he is being the typical male. Not saying much. But I am there for him.

6:25 pm

Mom

he will need you Herin

6:25 pm

Brookie

I'm sure he appreciates that.

6:25 pm

herinfernallady

I know he will. He is a big softy under it al

6:26 pm

Mom

the service will not be until next week?

6:27 pm

6:29 pm

herinfernallady

Mom yes next week. That is when Father is available

6:29 pm

Brookie

What happened with JBV?

6:29 pm

Mom

Soodlebum's little Buster (her dog) was hit by a car yesterday and didn't make it

6:30 pm

Mom

Oh Herin, I hope that won't be too hard on the family

6:30 pm

Brookie

Yikes.

6:30 pm

Mom

Her husband passed away

6:30 pm

herinfernallady

O no to Soodle :( Poor puppy

6:30 pm

6:30 pm

Brookie

There really is a lot of sad news.

6:30 pm

Mom

6:30 pm

herinfernallady

I did see that Mom.

6:30 pm

herinfernallady

So sad

6:31 pm

Mom

JBV had just retired

6:32 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry to ask was it sudden?

6:32 pm

Mom

6:33 pm

herinfernallady

That is too sad.

6:33 pm

herinfernallady

Ok. I have this mental blank at the moment

6:36 pm

Mom

6:37 pm

herinfernallady

That is ok. I just don't want to be a bad friend and not send a personal message if I have JBV as a friend. I just can't remember

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:39 pm

Mom

6:43 pm

herinfernallady

Mom. Pa built the cellar in their house by hand when he was in his late 60s. I swear he would have painted the whole outside of the house recently if Gran hadn't stopped him.

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, lovely rendition of "where or when"

6:44 pm

Mom

I just heard "rave on"

6:44 pm

Mom

wow Herin, he was quite the worker

6:45 pm

herinfernallady

Yep.

6:46 pm

herinfernallady

He loved his gadgets. Sent a text a few weeks ago saying ''Help I am stuck in the cellar''. In a panic FIL rings Gran and she says 'He is fine silly bugger drank to much port can't get up the stairs. He can stay there''

6:46 pm

Mom

lol Herin

6:47 pm

herinfernallady

It was so sweet yesterday Gran said ''Pa and I talked about moving this and that around''.

6:48 pm

Mom

oh Herin

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:49 pm

Mom

I love show tunes but I can't find the one you listened to. Rave On was okay

6:49 pm

Jillyjill

Hi stid ((hugs))

7:10 pm

stidmama

not sure Molly -- once again he did NOT turn on his phone while in town, so once again we are not sure where he is... so Tom will check where he is supposed to be, attempt to call once. and then come home. and the kid will need to figure out how to stay warm until we feel like going to get him.

7:11 pm

Jillyjill

tie 'em on the roof for the ride home...lol

7:11 pm

MollyL

7:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:24 pm

MollyL

7:25 pm

Jillyjill

7:26 pm

Dorens

7:26 pm

MollyL

YOU MUST GET BEIGNETS AT CAFE DU MONDE!!!

7:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:26 pm

redturtlehead

7:27 pm

Jillyjill

7:27 pm

Dorens

everyone must do that... and then go back again cause they are so good

7:27 pm

MollyL

TO...drink heavily.

7:27 pm

Dorens

our teachers were very resourceful, i must say, they were impressive

7:27 pm

Jillyjill

Oh Dorens...we LOVE Boston....

7:28 pm

Dorens

i just kind of wandered around and checked on folks... there was an emergency generator which supplied juice for about three hours to most classrooms (but not my office)

7:28 pm

lbdawger

brrrrr, Dorens! i'd walk around just to keep warm!

7:28 pm

Dorens

jilly my grandkids are there, so i go once a month. saturday taking my four year old to see the nutcracker ballet.. she is so excited

7:28 pm

MollyL

See, I was right. Dorens is speaking in code. Emergency generator = secret bar...juice = booze.

7:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

sounds great

7:29 pm

Dorens

luckily the cold weather came today... yesterday it was warm enough, actually, just dark and dreary and frightfully windy

7:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello i am off the sauce for a couple of months, woe is me

7:29 pm

stidmama

that will be such fun, doren! :-D give the princess an extra hug from me!

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

va8/60 pls?

7:30 pm

redturtlehead

that does sound fun! I love the Music and the story!

7:30 pm

Dorens

indeed stid... and how has stidkid fared today after yesterday's mishap

7:30 pm

Dorens

?

7:30 pm

MollyL

TO,think of how healthy you are being. And you will dream of little angels flitting about instead of bizarro stuff.

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have never needed booze to have odd dreams

7:30 pm

Dorens

past tense of a word i wouldn't have thought would be past tensed... the next is the plural and it makes more sense

7:30 pm

Dorens

owl why no sauce? diet?

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

I never drink TO, you can hang with me...

7:31 pm

stidmama

well, as I related a little while ago -- he didn't turn on his phone today either. BUT . . . tom just pulled into the driveway with the kid, so I think things are better.

7:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty this gird is all about ridiculous past tense

7:31 pm

Dorens

i'm just a wino, that's all

7:31 pm

stidmama

and I have to take the younger stidkid to a rehearsal....

7:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don;t much but it's the holidays and i hate not being able to choose

7:31 pm

stidmama

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

I have other vices.

7:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:31 pm

Jillyjill

7:32 pm

Dorens

oh my goodness... i missed that. sorry

7:32 pm

redturtlehead

Oh that is unpleasant. I hope it heals well.

7:32 pm

Jillyjill

ouch TO...did they do an EGD (scope) on you?

7:32 pm

MollyL

Take care driving Stid. *Wonders about Red's "other vices* Muahahahaha

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

please tell me how to get adhesive from electrodes off of me.

7:32 pm

Dorens

yes safe driviing

7:33 pm

Dorens

nail polish remover

7:33 pm

stidmama

back. the stidkid left his computer unattended at the high school today ... and surprisingly, someone stole it!

7:33 pm

MollyL

*Passing bland food and weak tea to TO*

7:33 pm

stidmama

I sure hope he didn't need any of the information that was on it...

7:33 pm

redturtlehead

mostly sugar.

7:33 pm

redturtlehead

and very hot baths, I know they are wasteful, but...

7:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow they have tracking software here for that

7:33 pm

Dorens

lost my wallet this week. (suppose someone stole it, from wherever i managed to misplace it). tell him i commiserate

7:33 pm

stidmama

anyway, back again another time. the kid will be unhappy about the consequences.... *repoof*

7:33 pm

herinfernallady

Opps I dropped of to sleep. It is mid day here.

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly, booze is only restriction

7:34 pm

Jillyjill

Nail polish remover=acetone....TO

7:34 pm

Dorens

nothing wrong with a little nap herin

7:34 pm

redturtlehead

naps are awesome!

7:34 pm

MollyL

Red, you are a long distance runner. How is sugar a vice? I thought runners needed sugar.

7:34 pm

Dorens

wow, you mean i waas right? i said nailpolish remover, but wasn't sure why i thught that

7:34 pm

Jillyjill

*hands stiff cup of coffe to herin*

7:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. tried scrubbing and alcohol, heard olive oil

7:35 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks guys. I really need to shift my bum off the couch and get these suits lodged at the cleaners

7:35 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, they package it for hospitals as "Adhesive Remover" charge a bundle..but all it is is acetone.

7:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear, doren- any idea where?

7:35 pm

Dorens

somewhere in my mind i've heard acetone (nail polish remover). think i've used it. think exhusband the doctor told me this sometime in a past life

7:36 pm

Dorens

not at all owl. i'm such a ditzbrain lately it could have been anywhere, since monday nite

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

Molly, some sugar is fine, but I would rather eat cake than meat... and I need to eat protien...its a vice, cookies...pies...

7:36 pm

MollyL

And TO, you have to work at that stuff gently, a little at a time. Just keep working it with the acetone until it starts to come off. It's nasty stuff.

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

I am getting cookies in the mail next week!!!

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

sorry I know I told this yesterday but I am excited...

7:37 pm

Jillyjill

Maybe ex mumbled it in his sleep...lol

7:37 pm

8:20 pm

Mark Jones

It was. Gracias.

8:21 pm

dianedecoder

love that song, and that group. I haven't used any help sites except lickety's, so I guess the odd googling is allowed ;-)

8:22 pm

MollyL

Pssst...don't tell anyone...I don't believe in the "rules" around here...

8:22 pm

dianedecoder

playing it now ...

8:22 pm

dfmchfhf

rules? There are rules? :oO

8:23 pm

MollyL

nbt, nbs, no clues in the first hour, no listing until halfway done...etc

8:23 pm

dianedecoder

guidelines :-)

8:24 pm

dianedecoder

I still am not sure what nbt and nbs mean

8:24 pm

dfmchfhf

wait, HALFway? :oO

8:24 pm

bichon

nbt is No Blank Tiles

8:24 pm

dianedecoder

I'm down to 13 words... going back to the beginning and ploy my monkies with bananas !

8:25 pm

MollyL

NBT, no blank tiles. It means you have one word out of each of the 25 tiles in the grid. NBS, no blank stats. It means you have one tile in each of the Word stats tiles, like one 4, one 5, etc.

8:25 pm

bichon

If you have one word for each letter on the grid

8:25 pm

Mark Jones

Hello, bichon

8:25 pm

dianedecoder

okay..... I sort of don't play that way... I'm a systematic creature lol

8:26 pm

MollyL

I think everyone should play the way they like. It's a game.

8:26 pm

dianedecoder

so it's sort of a competition when the grid first flips... as I see players declaring those things

8:27 pm

MollyL

And I don't think checking Morewords or A2Z wordfinder is any different than "monkeying" aka randomly typing in possibilities.

8:27 pm

dianedecoder

yup.... "I do it, my way"..... la la la la la

8:27 pm

MollyL

Oh that first hour looks like serious business to me. You will never see me there. Uber competitive.

8:27 pm

bichon

Molly, I agree. People will get clues from the chat log, but think that's different than using the list

8:28 pm

dianedecoder

well in monkeying, I just use word values... and I haven't used morewords or A2Z

8:28 pm

MollyL

I know. I laugh when I see people asking for clues in the chat log before they have listed.

8:28 pm

Mark Jones

Can i have a hint for te8?

8:29 pm

dianedecoder

and I love the game.... good exercise for the brain.... I believe I'm beginning to think in "Babble-ese"

8:29 pm

dianedecoder

oooh, I need that one too Mark... in fact I need 4 te words... just starting to work on them

8:29 pm

dfmchfhf

monkeying is different than using morewords or grep search, because morewords and grep can be done more systematically...

8:31 pm

dianedecoder

I've just had a new washer and dryer delivered.... they are hooking them up now. ... excited ! Imagine being excited about laundry appliances !!

8:32 pm

dianedecoder

I started out 50 years ago with a wringer washer and a clothes line... LOL ( but I've had upgrades along the way ! )

8:33 pm

Trust me Diane, I had no idea what a lo7 was, or a tw7 was until I married a Canadian.

8:57 pm

MollyL

Nor did I know that y'all have bills in color. My husband was lost when he came down here and couldn't organize his bills by color.

8:58 pm

dfmchfhf

do American bills have raised dots to identify them too?

8:58 pm

dianedecoder

it's easier to separate your bills, that's for certain

8:59 pm

dianedecoder

they have something so that the blind can discern the bills

8:59 pm

Mark Jones

Oh yeah. They have numbers and everything! The currency is very recognizable.

8:59 pm

dianedecoder

oops.... that was you asking. dfm, and we do, don't we

8:59 pm

smoothalh12

peace people. this was an awesome game. i will totes be back.

9:00 pm

dfmchfhf

yeah we do... I use them to find my bills in my pocket without taking them out...

9:00 pm

crosshair

american and canadian bill identification is easy..i laugh when we get visitors from the south,our money is easy,if you see a 5,it is 5 dollars,a 10 is ten dollars etc lol

9:01 pm

MollyL

Likewise with American money Cross. We have numbers on our bills too. We just got that last week. : P : P

9:01 pm

dfmchfhf

if you see a blue, it's a 5... a purple is 10...

9:01 pm

crosshair

we are just more colourful is all

9:02 pm

herinfernallady

Hi. Canada $$ is similar in colour to Aus money except we have $1 and $2 coins

9:02 pm

dfmchfhf

Molly, do American bills have raised dots?

9:03 pm

wht

No raised dots on American bills.

9:03 pm

dfmchfhf

And $1 bills... I think up to the 1950s... I have one :o)

9:04 pm

dfmchfhf

:o( Babble eated my message now...

9:04 pm

MollyL

Don't know. I've never checked. I don't read Braille.

9:04 pm

dfmchfhf

I was supposed to have said:
Canada has $1 and $2 coins too, and $2 bills (from ages ago)!

9:04 pm

crosshair

we have the raised dots but any blind person i know identifies the differnt bill by folding the corner of the bill itself

9:04 pm

herinfernallady

Does Canada and AMerica have different sizes for their notes?

9:05 pm

lbdawger

US has dollar coins, but they aren't used very often

9:05 pm

Mark Jones

America doesn't.

9:05 pm

MollyL

Yep Cross, that is how blind people identify their bills here. And those with vision trouble.

9:05 pm

dfmchfhf

the note size is the same across all dominations

9:05 pm

crosshair

lol the 1 dollar bills and the 2 dollar bills we not "ages" ago dfm you young puppy...

9:05 pm

Mark Jones

I am a coin collector, so I have many of each currency.

9:06 pm

lbdawger

and we also have 2 dollar bills, also not used very often.

9:06 pm

lil*monkey

clue for on7?

9:06 pm

wht

I have heard that the idea behind the uniformity of American bills was so that it would be harder for someone to know how much money you had with a quick glance.

9:06 pm

dfmchfhf

they were totally *ages* ago crossy... :oP

9:06 pm

Mark Jones

That is very true.

9:06 pm

MollyL

Lil...1 + me, my**** and I

9:07 pm

crosshair

i am a numismatic collector myself mark

9:07 pm

lbdawger

americans get confused with 2 dollar bills, and the dollar coins were just a hair bigger than our quarter, so not used a lot for that reason

9:07 pm

lil*monkey

tanks Molly.... FISH slap me!

9:07 pm

dfmchfhf

well, okay, I concede, not the $2... but the $1...

9:07 pm

wht

So sometimes people fold up their money so that the large bills are inside, or the large bills are outside, depending on whether they want to appear rich or poor.

9:07 pm

Mark Jones

Cool.

9:07 pm

herinfernallady

Wow. Our notes have different sizes just enough to be visable. Not that I would know what anything past a $20 looks like these days

9:07 pm

MollyL

No way honey. I want you to smell lovely at the dance tomorrow night. : P

9:08 pm

crosshair

the problem with a coin dollar for the americans began with the susan b anthony dollar

9:08 pm

MollyL

I want to have a wad of bills big enough to be concerned about "wht"..."wht" is speaking about someday.

9:08 pm

dfmchfhf

I have a bunch of $1 American coins :oO

9:09 pm

Mark Jones

It didn't fit into vending machines, so they stopped making it;

9:09 pm

lbdawger

uniformity of the american dollar bills is probably also due to the mass production in the mints. one size versus having to change the cut blades for each change of denomination

9:09 pm

herinfernallady

I was given a silver dollar when I was born

9:09 pm

dfmchfhf

I like Hong Kong bills and coins so much more than the on4 we have here...

9:10 pm

MollyL

Americans are just mired in tradition. We rejected metric as soon as it was forced on us and we don't want coins that have value of a dollar or more. Creatures of habit.

9:10 pm

Mark Jones

I have a 1897 mint silver dollar.

9:10 pm

lbdawger

oh Molly, such a diplomatic way of saying how lazy we are to have to think!

9:10 pm

crosshair

i do not bother too much with american coinage other than the 1 dollar gold coin fron the mid 1800,s

9:10 pm

MollyL

Question...do Canadian vending machines take the dollar coins? That is something I never asked Dan.

9:10 pm

wht

The fare machines in the Boston subways give out dollar coins for change, so you are starting to see them around here more. But the cach register drawers don't have a place for them.

9:11 pm

Mark Jones

I don't know.

9:11 pm

dfmchfhf

they sometimes don't, most do (and the $2 coins too)

9:11 pm

crosshair

vending machines are scarce here now molly

9:11 pm

dfmchfhf

most have a label that states "this machine (do4 not) accept(s) dollar coins"

9:11 pm

MollyL

dawg, are we lazy, or are the vending machine manufacturers lazy? Hmmmmm? : P

9:11 pm

Mark Jones

Both.

9:12 pm

MollyL

Whoa, hold up. No vending machines in Canada?

9:12 pm

crosshair

the pop machines take loonies and toonies,and we no longer have ciggarette machines

9:12 pm

lbdawger

i think it's the human factor. the vending machine makers just go with what's going to be spent

9:12 pm

dfmchfhf

:oO
mental note to se4: visit Boston (subways) a few more times.

9:12 pm

lil*monkey

clue for se6,18 (the last one)

9:12 pm

lbdawger

our machines say "do4 not accept canadian coins"

9:12 pm

MollyL

Cross! Report to the PB...tout suit

9:13 pm

herinfernallady

Some of our money is the same size as overseas stuff and it frustrates me to no end when I get a coin that I can't use

9:13 pm

dfmchfhf

ours reject American coins, so I guess we're ev4.

9:13 pm

lbdawger

10:44 pm

FMitch

wtg for taking that big step into the unknown.

10:46 pm

crystalle

I need a guaranteed income and writing can not provide that. So I am going to get a job and write in my spare time. If i send articles into my local paper constantly, eventually one of them has to make an impact and hopefully lead to a free lance writing job. ( I did do a journalism course at university through home studies)

And so we remained till the red of the dawn began to fall through the snow gloom. I was desolate and afraid, and full of woe and terror. But when that beautiful sun began to climb the horizon life was to me again.
