1:54 am

FMitch

winter humming birds - wow!

1:55 am

FMitch

m9 - can you share any info about NB? Many babblers are worried about him.

1:55 am

jillibus

A bit too cool for their feeders, sometimes. I had to bring the feeder in overnight to thaw it! This doesn't happen here very often, and certainly hardly ever in November.

1:56 am

jillibus

It's called Anna's Hummingbird, if you want to google it.

1:56 am

FMitch

My fairly tame robin came down to see what I was doing and feed about 62 away from me

2:15 am

dizgrannie

Hey Flos why is your pic black?

2:16 am

flosey

don't know why diz, click on it and you'll see it was yesterday's icon theme, calendar

2:19 am

dfmchfhf

it's black because it's a GIF, flosey...

2:20 am

flosey

2:20 am

flosey

2:20 am

flosey

now, goodnight all, hopefully will get back at some time tomorrow to finish up

2:21 am

dfmchfhf

PNG and GIF will have black backgrounds applied when converting to JPG, so if they're transparent, you'll see the background black.

2:21 am

dfmchfhf

night flosey :o)

2:21 am

dfmchfhf

also FM it's spelt "privilege" ;o)

3:30 am

sprite

morning all

3:32 am

Haz1558

Good morning, sprite.

3:32 am

sprite

hello Haz, living in a white world too?

3:32 am

Haz1558

We've missed you the past few days. Yes, pretty much surrounded by the stuff. I'm ready for it to disappear.

3:33 am

Haz1558

We don't have huge quantities but it shows no sign of shifting. What about you?

3:33 am

sprite

me too. Sidewalks are ice with snow on top... dangerous for walking. Yeah, nasty flu. Missed you all too.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, pavements aren't in great shape here either. Are you fully recovered from the flu?

3:36 am

sprite

first day up again, still a bit weak in the stem (?). But very happy to be out of bed!

3:37 am

Haz1558

Weak in the stem = wobbly legs? You know you've got flu and not a cold when the prospect of getting out of bed seems akin to climbing Everest.

3:39 am

sprite

lol yes, exactly.
I don't think it is an english expression. In dutch we can say 'weak on the stem' as an image of a flower that is still a bit drooping after having had too little water.

3:40 am

Haz1558

There's a Scots expression - feeling peely-wally that sums it up nicely.

3:40 am

sprite

hahaha that has a good ring to it. Very apt.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

nice size grid for a nasty day. Good morning everybody

3:40 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

3:40 am

sprite

morning rubyfoo. Why a nasty day?

3:43 am

Haz1558

We'll have to imagine why it's nasty.

3:44 am

sprite

I guess so. Though days are often what you make of them.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

2 1/2 ft of snow on the ground with ice underneath! and getting colder by the minute

3:45 am

rubyfoo

it is too dangerous to go out although the road are clear. We are below the road, though, and the driveway and steps are dangerous, and I worry that husband will fall

3:45 am

sprite

warm clothes, rubyfoo, and doing fun indoor things... close the curtains early and light some candles... make a spice wine tonight :)

3:46 am

Soodle

Morning Ladies. Ditto here Rubes, Its horrible.

3:46 am

sprite

hi Soodle :)

3:46 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Soodle.

3:46 am

sprite

look, Soodle has candles already!

3:46 am

Soodle

Glad to hear you are up and about, albeit wobbly, Sprite.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I sent you an e-mail soodles, how are you doing? I'm glad you got supplies in. My dopey neighbor called me to say she couldn't get her car out (did she think my husband would dig her out? lol) so I said, Have you heard of taxis?

3:47 am

Haz1558

They're for JBV's husband who died, sprite.

3:47 am

Soodle

Oh Sprite... Maybe you didn't hear about JBV's husband?

3:47 am

sprite

rubyfoo, can't your husband get those metal grips you bind under your shoes?

3:47 am

sprite

oh dear :( Am so sorry to hear that.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I have cardamon seeds in my stove-top boiling water (to humidify the house) as the fireplaces make the air very dry

3:48 am

rubyfoo

when did that happen?

3:48 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure exactly when he died, but the funeral was yesterday.

3:49 am

Soodle

I think Monday or Tuesday. He was being buried yesterday. JBV called by yesterday morning

3:49 am

rubyfoo

how old was he?

3:50 am

Haz1558

I don't know, ruby, but he had been in ill health for quite a while, I think.

3:50 am

sprite

it is a sad season. So many people dying way too young.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

this is a difficult time of year!

3:51 am

sprite

yes I believe so too, Haz.

3:53 am

Soodle

Got your email, Rubes, thank you. Haz, Sprite, Ruby wrote to me in bright pink, to cheer me up, and and it worked!

3:53 am

sprite

awwww how sweet

3:53 am

dizgrannie

E' erradicated

3:54 am

sprite

hello dizgrannie

3:54 am

rubyfoo

hello diz grannia

3:54 am

Soodle

Sprite, poor little Buster was knocked down and killed by a car on Wednesday.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, diz.

3:54 am

dizgrannie

hey Ruby and ALL!!!

3:55 am

sprite

oh Soodle :( *hugs*

3:55 am

rubyfoo

grannia is the Italian version*

3:55 am

dizgrannie

nana

3:55 am

dizgrannie

SHYTE!!!! DMAN!!!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

I'll meet you in the pb for some hot chocolate, grannie!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

you could call that entrapment!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Who wants to lead off a round of tut-tutting?

3:56 am

sprite

*giggles*
I will put some spiced wine in the PB, rubyfoo. It will warm and cheer you up, all at once.

3:56 am

Soodle

LOL

3:56 am

dizgrannie

LOL might need more than hot chocolate, had a coupla glasses of wine with dinner...HICC

3:56 am

sprite

tsk tsk, t-t-t. Always game.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

too early, even for me! but hot toddy before lunch, that's for sure

3:57 am

Haz1558

My mother was the fastest at tut-tutting I ever heard.

3:57 am

sprite

fastest as in quick to start it, or in the pace of tutting?

3:57 am

Haz1558

She had a remarkable technique, machine gun tuts.

3:58 am

sprite

ah, asked and answered, thanks

3:58 am

Soodle

I bet mine came a close second, Haz.... With us lot, she had ye**s of practice..

3:58 am

dizgrannie

Hey what is this Spiced Wine that you often talk about....humour this Aussie...LOL

3:58 am

Haz1558

The pace of tutting - she was a sweetheart.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

if you have a bottle of so-so wine, add some sugar and spices and heat it up on the stove

3:58 am

Soodle

Is spiced wine the same as Mulled wine?

3:58 am

rubyfoo

goes right to your toes if you're cold

3:59 am

rubyfoo

yes, and you stir it with a cinnamon stick

3:59 am

Soodle

Don't forget the chunks of apples and cloves, Ruby...

3:59 am

sprite

red wine, add cinnamon, take an orange and put a load of .... (must look that up) into them, warm the wine with the cinnamon and orange.

3:59 am

dizgrannie

WOW sounds okies, might try some....thanx

3:59 am

sprite

jeezzz why can't I remember... hold on

3:59 am

PMS

e

4:00 am

sprite

cloves

4:00 am

rubyfoo

aaah, but then you're getting into health food, soodles!

4:00 am

sprite

don't boil the wine though, you will lose all alcohol that way. And that would be a shame.

4:00 am

sprite

oh we never did apples... sounds great!

4:01 am

Soodle

Nah. The apples absorb the wine, you could get tipsy eating the leftovers the next day. Health food shmealth food!

4:01 am

sprite

yes, I believe it is the same as mulled wine, Soodle.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

that's like the fruit in the bottom of the sangria which has soaked overnight in sugar and brandy -- cook's treat

4:02 am

Soodle

Blooming well started snowing again here. Its just not funny or beautiful anymore. I am sick of it now.

4:03 am

Haz1558

I know, there's not the least sign of a thaw.

4:03 am

sprite

our favorite restaurant had also the best sangria I ever tasted... I got the recipe from the owner because we were such good customers we were considered family.

4:03 am

sprite

snow is only nice if you (and everybody else) is free from work. And from shopping. Etc.

4:04 am

Haz1558

That's the problem, sprite, life has to go on.

4:05 am

sprite

yes I know. It is hell walking Terra. With my pelvic injuries I walk the mini walk, and I let Terra do the running and walking long stretches.

4:06 am

Soodle

My car is just immovable. I took a taxi into town yesterday, and shopped for a week.

4:06 am

sprite

not that he minds... he LOVES snow and ice. He is frisky and wild and runs miles to and from me.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

had better get dressed now, see you later

4:06 am

sprite

ouch Soodle, that is something!

4:06 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:06 am

Haz1558

See you later, ruby.

4:07 am

Soodle

Bye Rubes ((())) and thanks again.

4:07 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo

4:08 am

sprite

for me this grid is a bit tight... not really flowing and I am not even halfway.

4:09 am

Soodle

I found the first 70 or so ok..... I'm slowing down now.

4:09 am

Haz1558

It takes a bit of looking, that's for sure.

4:09 am

sprite

glad to hear I am not the only one

4:15 am

Haz1558

Strangest word I've found so far - pu7, a light turban worn in India. Looks like a cross between a dog and a trousered garment (usually plural) worn for work.

4:18 am

sprite

oh that is a word I should know... now what was it... thanks for the clue, Haz!

4:18 am

Haz1558

No problem, it was on the tip of your tongue anyway, you just needed an extra nudge.

4:19 am

Soodle

Just found it - thank you Haz. I would have been a long time looking for that one.

4:19 am

sprite

a HUGE nudge, grin.

4:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. I'd love to take the credit but morewords had a lot to do with finding it.

4:20 am

sprite

as Ata always says, that is research, Haz.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

4:28 am

Soodle

Oooh. An 8 just popped out at me. :-)

4:28 am

sprite

wow wtg Soodle! No such luck here so far.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'm going to do something even more useful than this. Enjoy the grid and hope you get through this weather safely.

4:28 am

Soodle

Ch, sprite.

4:29 am

Soodle

Take care, Haz. Keep warm.

4:29 am

sprite

bye Haz, have a good day and try and stay warm!

4:29 am

sprite

thanks Soodle

4:29 am

Haz1558

Will do! Bye!

4:31 am

sprite

ah got it, great! Thanks again.

4:31 am

Soodle

Like Haz, I better go and get things done. 81 left for later. Take care, Sprite. See you soon ((()))

4:32 am

sprite

bye Soodle, all the best. *hugs*

7:19 am

Anniebrook

EvaN, good for you for trying

7:23 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, hallo Haz. Please reduce my blood pressure for me, after all you are married to a vet, you know about these things.

Haz1558

Hello! Indignant women un5....

7:24 am

EvaNadine

its her icon, and she can put whatever she likes.

my wedding was over a month ago -- shall i go change mine??

7:24 am

MollyL

All that aside, I have no idea how a picture of a candle is annoying.

7:24 am

Atalante

7:24 am

Anniebrook

I wish I could change my icon to a candle but, alas, still computer dumb

7:24 am

Mark Jones

It has just been there for a while.

7:25 am

EvaNadine

ata -- clearly you need to change your dog.

7:25 am

Mom

for that matter Thanksgiving was last week, I just like this one. :-)

7:25 am

Anniebrook

and the aurora borealis has been there forever

7:25 am

Sally-catlover

lol Eva

7:25 am

Atalante

clearly so :D

7:25 am

Haz1558

So, at the end of the day, when all's said and done, and not to labour the point, Mark, it's staying until Mollly wishes to change it.

7:25 am

MollyL

Mark, I changed my icon four days ago when I heard the news about LBV's husband. "A while"???

7:25 am

Trifioso

hello friends. I am having a SUCK PILL of a week.....couldn't wait to see all of you today, the blog always cheers a girl up....

7:25 am

EvaNadine

sorry, spangle.
you gots ta go!

7:25 am

Sally-catlover

My icon hasn't changed for months. If you want a fight you've come to the wrong place.

7:26 am

Atalante

do you need to change your husband already do you think???

7:26 am

NonoNanette

good morning Trif!

7:26 am

Mom

Hi Trif, sorry about your pill

7:26 am

Haz1558

Spangle's staying put as well.

7:26 am

EvaNadine

ata, hon, ive been trying to change him for years. ;)

7:26 am

Haz1558

Hello, Trif.

7:26 am

MollyL

Morning Trif.

7:26 am

Atalante

lmao :D

7:26 am

Mark Jones

Okay. I'm sorry. Anyway, I must go. It is time for school. See you later everyone.

7:27 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, school. Thought so.

7:27 am

Trifioso

hey

7:27 am

Haz1558

Bye, Mark. You'll learn from school and you'll learn from us as well.

7:27 am

EvaNadine

rut-roh... trif brought another candle icon into the chog. here we go!

7:28 am

Trifioso

hey, Car had the first one, and I think I had the second

7:28 am

Trifioso

plus, my candle is burning today for what used to be my life.

7:28 am

Atalante

I have a happy story for you all ...

7:28 am

Anniebrook

oh dear, Trif

7:28 am

Trifioso

oh, crap, now I have to go to the PB. figures

7:29 am

Anniebrook

I think candle should be a PB-free word today.

7:29 am

Sally-catlover

oh thank you so much Trif! Have a free get-out-of-PB card. I've been looking for that ca word for ages.

7:29 am

Haz1558

Stay here, Trif, otherwise we'll all be in there with you.

7:29 am

NonoNanette

do tell Ata

7:29 am

Haz1558

And the one who makes them is there.

7:30 am

Atalante

there was a little cat at a shelter in Astoria, and the little cat was going to be put down because she had a congenital back problem and her back legs don't work properly. Then came along my best friend and her husband, and the little cat now has a new home with their other cats

7:30 am

Sally-catlover

I'm ahead of you Haz :-)

7:30 am

Atalante

she is greatly loved, purrs like a chainsaw and kneads everything she can get her little paws on :)

7:30 am

Anniebrook

Ata, what a great story

7:30 am

EvaNadine

no worries, trif.
we just had a young babbler on a moment ago who seemed to think he could tell people when it was time to change their icon.
apparently molly's candle was "annoying."

7:30 am

Sally-catlover

Lovely story Ata.

7:30 am

NonoNanette

aweeee, bless your friend Ata!

7:31 am

Haz1558

Sally, I read that initially as 'I'm afraid of you, Haz'. I didn't know whether to be pleased or not.

7:31 am

EvaNadine

<------- afraid of haz.

7:31 am

Trifioso

yes, I know eva, I saw....I love you all, but i am thinking I i will leave now. I just am not in a good mood today, and can't seem to keep my mouth shut, and don't want my shitty chi to ruin the day

7:31 am

Sally-catlover

rofl Haz.

7:31 am

Atalante

and there's a picture of her :)

7:32 am

Haz1558

(I'm doing my patented 'dont' mess with me' shoulder shrug.

7:32 am

EvaNadine

(((((((trif)))))))

7:32 am

Atalante

she's 5 months old and going to be called BeeBee :)

7:32 am

NonoNanette

Sorry Trif, try to have a better day

7:32 am

Haz1558

Trif, come back later when you're feeling more like yourself.

7:32 am

Anniebrook

((((trif)))

7:33 am

NonoNanette

oh she is such a pretty cat,Ata!

7:33 am

Trifioso

I should think you won't be seeing me for a while, then, haz. but thanks

7:33 am

MollyL

((((Trif)))))

7:33 am

car.eeyore

Trif......call me.

7:33 am

Atalante

she's a gorgeous baby! so lovey. and she can run and jump, just a bit awkwardly and her back legs dont have much strength

7:34 am

Atalante

(((Trif)))

7:34 am

Sally-catlover

Ata, slightly worried that you have a picture of a cat alongside a recipe for spinach balls.

7:35 am

Sally-catlover

Oh Trif, so sorry you're having a rough time.

7:35 am

Mom

(((Trif))) please stay

7:36 am

Haz1558

I've a feeling it's something more than indignant women of babble can cure. I'm sorry you're so upset, Trif.

7:36 am

Atalante

better tham fur balls :D

7:37 am

Anniebrook

Trif, would you feel better if you stayed and "spoke" to us?

7:37 am

Mom

Atalante

the shelter said she was unadoptable. does she look unadoptable? lol

7:39 am

Sheimi492

Hi mom

7:39 am

Julciia

:D

7:39 am

Sally-catlover

No Ata, I would have taken her on myself.

7:39 am

Atalante

me too!

7:39 am

NonoNanette

absolutely not Ata, I would have taken her in a heartbeat

7:40 am

Mom

**oops, changed it again to today's weather

7:40 am

NonoNanette

hi sheimi and Julciia

7:40 am

Julciia

I like coconuts

7:40 am

Atalante

annoying shelters. well that's one unadoptable kitty very happy at least :)

7:40 am

Julciia

Hi Nono.

7:40 am

Sheimi492

Hi Nono

7:40 am

Mom

I would have taken the dear

7:40 am

NonoNanette

very apt Mom

7:41 am

Sally-catlover

Taken her into the PB?

7:41 am

Mom

thanks Nono

7:41 am

Sheimi492

Julciia is my sister :3

7:41 am

NonoNanette

my friend once adopted a little dog they said would not live a full year, She has had it now for about 6 years!

7:41 am

Julciia

Sheimi is my sister :3

7:42 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, just found the cu 7 which means a well-fitting bra.

7:42 am

Julciia

Well fitting trees

7:42 am

Atalante

how wondrful Nono! shows what love and attention can do

7:42 am

Julciia

I like well fitting trees Yay

7:42 am

Sheimi492

giggles

7:43 am

Julciia

giggles

7:43 am

Anniebrook

sally, funny clue

7:43 am

Sally-catlover

I assume, she says, apropos of nothing, that a lot of schools are shut today because of the weather.

7:43 am

Atalante

yes .......

7:44 am

Julciia

nono my granddad is younger than you

7:44 am

NonoNanette

probably so Sally

7:45 am

Julciia

:)

7:45 am

Mom

I am quite sure I do not know how there can be 28 P words here

7:45 am

Julciia

Mom youre older than my gran how is that possible

7:46 am

Mom

I am just lucky I guess

7:46 am

NonoNanette

Mom, I have 24 of them and only one would i consider uncommon

7:46 am

Julciia

Nono why are you so old

7:46 am

Haz1558

Because one of them is an Indian turban, Mom, it might not be in your vocabulary. It looks like the coming together of a dog and a singular trousered work garment. (pu7/44)

7:46 am

Mom

thanks Nono, maybe I will concentrate on those for a while

7:46 am

Atalante

*snorfle*

7:47 am

Mom

will work on that Haz

7:47 am

Sally-catlover

There is a very apt pr 4/5

7:49 am

NonoNanette

nice clue Haz! I didn't have that one

7:49 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked, Nono.

7:49 am

Mom

have the dog part, working on the other part

7:50 am

NonoNanette

Mom the work garment would work very well for a farmer

7:50 am

Anniebrook

dung****

7:50 am

Haz1558

Think of trousers with bibs. Maybe you call them something different in the States.

7:50 am

Mom

thanks Annie

7:50 am

Sally-catlover

Must just pop casserole in oven, brb

7:50 am

Mom

Thanks Haz

7:50 am

Mom

we call them overalls

7:51 am

Anniebrook

Sally, what kind of casserole are you baking? I just love casseroles

7:51 am

MollyL

Mom, didn't people used to refer to jeans as dung***** a long time ago?

7:51 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Mom.

7:51 am

Mom

I was just thinking of asking her that, Annie

7:51 am

Mom

maybe so, but we never did

7:51 am

Atalante

Mom will know. She's older than *everyone*

7:52 am

Anniebrook

Even older than me...LOL...did we get the A students today, the overachievers

7:52 am

Mom

in kindergarten my oldest told the teacher it was my birthday and she asked him how old I was and he said "older than dirt"

7:52 am

Anniebrook

LOL

7:52 am

Sally-catlover

Back. Oh, it's a beef casserole. Had bread in oven earlier so was waiting for it to cool a bit. Beef, onion, mushrooms, carrots, tin tomatoes, seasoning. Long slow cooking, will last us at least two days!

7:53 am

Haz1558

The Chuckle Sisters seem to have left the building.

7:53 am

Mom

love that name Haz

7:53 am

Uneaixoise

my daughter once asked my "did they have birthdays back when you were growing up?"

7:53 am

Mom

sounds delicious Sally

7:53 am

Uneaixoise

*me

7:53 am

Mom

((Une)) good morning

7:53 am

Mom

:-)

7:53 am

Sally-catlover

Just remember girls, with age comes wisdom :-)

7:54 am

car.eeyore

Who are the Chuckle Sisters? They sound funny!

7:54 am

Anniebrook

I like that, The Chuckle Sisters

7:54 am

Uneaixoise

hey, mom, just saw the we're gonna have several days of major cold next week!

7:54 am

Sally-catlover

lol Une. I once famously asked my mother, "were you pretty when you were young?". Double whammy that.

7:54 am

Haz1558

And with wisdom and that well fitting bra cu7, what can we not do?

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Hi Une

7:54 am

Uneaixoise

oh, sally! LOL

7:54 am

Uneaixoise

hey, annie :-)

7:54 am

Mom

oh Sally

7:55 am

Uneaixoise

howdy, haz

7:55 am

Mom

Une, cold here as well. Are you getting snow tomorrow?

7:55 am

Haz1558

Hello, Une.

7:55 am

Uneaixoise

hope not! I'm driving a leg of a rescue dog transport from Nville to Cookeville -- 4 dogs!

7:56 am

Sally-catlover

You know, for a moment there I stopped at the word "dog" and thought you were talking about the leg of a dog.

7:56 am

Mom

oh dear, how far is Cookeville from you?

7:56 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!!

7:56 am

Mom

lol Sally

7:56 am

Uneaixoise

takes about an hour, 10 minutes

7:57 am

Mom

be safe

7:57 am

Atalante

so did I sally!

7:57 am

Uneaixoise

will do! :-)

7:57 am

Uneaixoise

off to pick up donated food for soup kitchen -- good to see everyone -- byeee *poof*

7:57 am

NonoNanette

bye Une

7:57 am

Anniebrook

bye Une, do your good work

7:58 am

Mom

bye bye ((Une))

7:58 am

Sally-catlover

bye Une.

7:59 am

Mom

finally .... got the cu 7

7:59 am

MollyL

Me too Mom, I had to work with it for a while after Haz mentioned it.

8:00 am

Mom

although I don't think there is such a thing. There is always something not quite right with bras

8:00 am

Anniebrook

phone

8:00 am

Haz1558

Sally gave the bra clue originally.

8:00 am

Mom

hurry back Annie

8:01 am

MollyL

I've switched to sports bras unless I'm wearing something that requires the real deal. The sports bras are much more comfortable.

8:01 am

EvaNadine

*returns to chog and is utterly appalled that Molly STILL has a candle for her icon*

8:01 am

MollyL

Yoo hoo...Eva...refresh...

8:02 am

Mom

lol Eva

8:02 am

car.eeyore

Uh oh. I still have a candle. is this bad?

8:02 am

Sally-catlover

lol Eva. I do wonder if we should suggest to Dr_G that Babblers can't join the chog unless they are Pro.

8:02 am

NonoNanette

lol, love it Molly!

8:02 am

Mom

lol Molly

8:02 am

MollyL

I second, third and fourth that Sally.

8:03 am

EvaNadine

oh, well POO!
i cant see it clearly, and there is still a candle when i click on your profile...heh

8:03 am

Sally-catlover

That really would sort the problem.

8:03 am

Mom

it is a good idea but some people may not be able to afford the Pro cost

8:03 am

Mom

Eva, it says "Is my icon annoying you"

8:03 am

Haz1558

My suggestion had been that you can't join in the chat log until you've played maybe three or four days.

8:03 am

Sally-catlover

But I seem to remember it wasn't very much money.

8:04 am

MollyL

Mom has a point. It would be punishing the good with the bad I guess.

8:04 am

mkg

hi all.

8:04 am

Mom

look at how long DFM has played before he went pro, and then there is Grant and Gran and so many others

8:04 am

mkg

what is the clue for cu 7 please.

8:04 am

NonoNanette

hi mkg

8:04 am

Sally-catlover

That's a good idea Haz. Or maybe a little longer?

8:04 am

Mom

Hi MKG

8:04 am

mkg

nm got it.

8:04 am

EvaNadine

i still firmly believe in the "ignore" button.
anyone can join the chog, but if you annoy me, i click the button and youre invisible to me.

yknow, kinda like in the real world.

8:04 am

MollyL

I like your idea Haz. It's like message boards where you can't post until you've been a member for a period of time. Weeds out the one shot troll traffic.

8:04 am

Haz1558

Maybe. It would cut out some of the randomness, perhaps.

8:05 am

FMitch

Afternoon all

8:05 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM!

8:05 am

Mom

I thought there was going to be some type of "ignore" on the new babble

8:05 am

Sally-catlover

Have you suggested it to Dr_G Haz?

8:05 am

Mom

Hi FMitch

8:05 am

Sally-catlover

and Hallo FM.

8:05 am

NonoNanette

i like that idea the best Eva

8:05 am

NonoNanette

hi FM

8:05 am

Haz1558

I did, Sally, right back when he was asking for suggestions for the new babble.

8:06 am

Sally-catlover

The ignore button will be on the new Babble.

8:06 am

FMitch

Hello all, yawning after an extended nap.

8:06 am

EvaNadine

i think he mentioned there may be...

8:06 am

Haz1558

I don't like the idea of not allowing perfectly nice non-pro people to join in the conversation, I thought the time thing would be a compromise.

8:06 am

Mom

Nap???? oh that sounds like a grand idea.

8:06 am

pcal2

certainly makes us non-Pros feel unwanted...

8:07 am

FMitch

:) Mom I needed it as I was up at 3.30am

8:07 am

Mom

it doesn't seem like there are as many trolls as there were when I started playing 5 years ago

8:07 am

Mom

Hi Pcal

8:07 am

Mom

Oh wow, FMitch, couldn't sleep?

8:07 am

pcal2

Hi Mom

8:07 am

Haz1558

It's not the non-pro people we don't want, it's finding a way of stopping people from kind of divebombing the chat log, just because they can.

8:08 am

Sally-catlover

non-Pros certainly aren't unwanted, pcal, it's the kids who come on to make trouble that are unwanted.

8:08 am

NonoNanette

hi Pcal

8:09 am

pcal2

Oops...sorry. Maybe I should have read more before chiming in..hi Nono

8:09 am

NonoNanette

**FIREWORKS **

8:09 am

FMitch

For the amount of time and aggro we get from trolls these days compared with a few years ago it really is not an issue is it or have I missed seomthing?

8:09 am

Haz1558

Well done, Nono!

8:09 am

FMitch

Congrats Nono
and Hi pcal.

8:09 am

NonoNanette

it really doesnt happen as much as it use to

8:09 am

Mom

congratulations Nono

8:09 am

Sally-catlover

Congrats Nono

8:09 am

car.eeyore

yeah nono!

8:10 am

Anniebrook

im back and congrats, nono

8:10 am

Mom

I remember when I first started it was rampant

8:10 am

Sally-catlover

Just wait till the Christmas holidays :-(

8:10 am

Mom

welcome back Annie

8:10 am

NonoNanette

thanks everyone

8:11 am

NonoNanette

wb annie

8:11 am

Anniebrook

I remember when I first started there was a class that would come on enmasse and then the teacher would come on and apologize

8:11 am

Haz1558

I think seasoned babblers know to ignore/not feed etc, but there was a sustained campaign a few years ago from a school that still makes me shudder. It went on for days.

8:11 am

Mom

I remember that Annie

8:12 am

Anniebrook

Haz, yes, that was it...a horror

8:12 am

FMitch

ohhh heavens yes - that was a nightmare!

8:12 am

NonoNanette

I told myself no loitering today, have to get things in order so I can decorate for the holidays. Therefore I bid you all a good day.

8:12 am

Haz1558

The language, the attitude etc was far beyond anything we had experienced before.

8:12 am

EvaNadine

i havent had to dust off my troll repellent in quite some time...

8:12 am

Mom

((Nono)) enjoy your day

8:12 am

Anniebrook

Have a great day, Nono

8:13 am

Haz1558

Bye Nono (standing for no slacking, no loitering)

8:13 am

Anniebrook

My troll repellant is always at ha4

8:13 am

FMitch

it is funny how some of the new babblers react these days to a slight misdemeanour.

8:14 am

Anniebrook

I learned a few new words from that class.

8:14 am

Haz1558

I know, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt until the language starts.

8:14 am

FMitch

code red is called at the drop of a hat :)

8:15 am

Haz1558

I know!

8:15 am

Sally-catlover

Or the insults Haz.

8:15 am

Haz1558

We sound like people going over war memories of the Blitz or something.

8:15 am

Mom

lol Haz

8:16 am

FMitch

It did feel like that at times with some of them!

8:16 am

tee_jay

ugar

8:16 am

Sally-catlover

lol, just taken a cold call. Told him there are no computers in this house. That always throws them.

8:16 am

8:18 am

FMitch

8:18 am

car.eeyore

I have ru 5 which refers to old stone writings

8:18 am

Sally-catlover

Like your icon, tee-jay, but not clear if that is your husband or one of your children.

8:19 am

Sally-catlover

I often say there is no-one of my name in this house.

8:19 am

car.eeyore

Sally!!!

8:19 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, just kidding.

8:19 am

tee_jay

i would like to know how i am indoors, wearing a turtleneck sweater and long pants, with my space heater on, and i am STILL cold!

8:23 am

car.eeyore

YVW

8:23 am

Mom

perhaps you need to have your thyroid checked Eva

8:23 am

FMitch

because you haven't put enough layers on?

8:23 am

car.eeyore

may I please have a clue for the bottom A?

8:24 am

FMitch

TY!

8:24 am

EvaNadine

FM -- i forgot to mention that i have a cami on under the sweater. no tights under the pants today, though.

8:24 am

Sally-catlover

And an5

8:24 am

Haz1558

And an5/10

8:25 am

EvaNadine

i brought flat shoes to wear, but that would involve removing my socks, which im just NOT inclined to do.
so im hoping no one comments on my sneakers today...

8:25 am

Mom

I had better go and start my day. ((Hugs)) to all of you

8:25 am

FMitch

awe EvaN!

8:25 am

Haz1558

No problem, Mom.

8:26 am

Hey ((Stid)) how are you?

1:19 pm

stidmama

glantarell!!! ((more hugs)) is it warmer yet? I tried to email you but it bounced. my email is in my profile I think...

1:20 pm

stidmama

I am very very sad... parenting an older child is very confusing and hard. I am worried about stidkid #1

1:20 pm

stidmama

other than that, life is actually pretty good. how are you?

1:20 pm

Glantarell

yes it is warmer, just -5C tonight and I am wearing a satin coverlet to stop me shivering

he is making some decisions that are based on assumptions rather than facts and I fear he is going to be hurt. nothing he can't recover from, but I so want to shelter him a little more. he is in college glantarell...

1:22 pm

MollyL

It's hard to let them spread their wings and fly on their own Stid.

1:22 pm

Glantarell

Glankid #1 is 27 and glankid#2 is 25 and i still worry about #2

1:22 pm

Riverdance

sometimes they need to make mistakes to learn - its harder on us Moms letting them make them

1:22 pm

Glantarell

we can only learn from our own mistakes

1:23 pm

stidmama

yes Molly, it is. especially since he has a few limitations that other people don't. but denies he has them so doesn't take advantage of the supports that exist to help.

1:23 pm

ardilla

STID!!!

1:23 pm

Bugsaw

I like Dr Phil's idea that it is better for kids to try new things and fail when they are at home and have "a soft place to land" when they fall

1:23 pm

stidmama

oh well...

1:23 pm

Glantarell

better to make lots of mistakes when you're young than leave them till you're much older LOL

1:23 pm

MollyL

Amen. Everyone needs a soft place to land.

1:23 pm

stidmama

ardilla!!! *checks for fever, cough, tired eyes and signs of illness* how are you?

1:24 pm

stidmama

yes, I hope the soft place to land is something he will take advantage of... he keeps talking about leaving home. but no job! and few job-worthy skills.

1:25 pm

stidmama

hence, my concerns.

1:25 pm

ardilla

better, pretty stressed out and trying to relax/recover

1:25 pm

MollyL

Stid, is trade school an option?

1:25 pm

Bugsaw

everyone has dreams, stid and one day he will move out - only when the supports he needs are there without him recognizing them

1:25 pm

ardilla

cough is still lingering

1:25 pm

stidmama

(((ardilla))) hope you will be okay.

1:25 pm

dfmchfhf

try letting him leave for a week or so, he'll figure out how difficult it is to live without you :o)

1:26 pm

MollyL

Pneumonia coughs take forever to get rid of.

1:26 pm

Bugsaw

ardilla I have been at home almost all week with a bad cold and cough. I hope I didn't catch it from you! ;)

1:26 pm

stidmama

trade school is not really an option -- physical limitations and an expectation to go to college will get in his way

1:26 pm

stidmama

well at least you are on the mend.

1:26 pm

ardilla

saw a real doc on monday and had another chest x-ray...no pneumonia...she didn't understand what my medic was doing...she gave me an inhaler

1:27 pm

MollyL

Ah, I see.

1:27 pm

stidmama

that's true dfm.

1:27 pm

cybernan

stid - I am aware of the limitations, but sometimes you just have to let them find out for themselves what living in the "real" world is like. Our granddaughter is bipolar and moved out and back a few times before she found her feet.

1:27 pm

stidmama

honestly, he is "free" to leave at any time -- but has no savings, no job, and not eligible to drive even if he had a car (no license)

1:27 pm

MollyL

Stid, we may have to go down there and kick medic butt after all. : P

1:28 pm

stidmama

oh oh... *packs bags with butt-kicking boots*

1:28 pm

ardilla

dfmchfhf

1:39 pm

stidmama

1:39 pm

ardilla

1:40 pm

cybernan

stidmama

I don't drink much or often but (until I had kids anyway) my blood pressure was generally very low for my age. Nowadays it's pretty average

1:43 pm

stidmama

1:43 pm

ardilla

Soodle, I though your "Friends" clue was a great one!

3:47 pm

ChampFit

I thought we did that already? OR...you could say ca7 with an additional vowel for the second letter.

3:47 pm

MollyL

Oops, already done.

3:47 pm

I didn't even watch Friends, but I'm familiar with the character names. And that one is kind of unusual.

3:49 pm

MollyL

Ooo, good one Welki.

3:49 pm

ChampFit

Good one welki!

3:49 pm

Soodle

I don't think you actually need to watch Friends. I think the names and characters sort of osmose into you conscienceness....

3:50 pm

welki

<-- needs to osmose somewhere

3:51 pm

Soodle

You going fishing, Welki?

Round these parts we call gu6 shotcrete.

Really? Not here. Interesting...

GOT IT! ty...

4:01 pm

MollyL

Soodle, right after that, when the trolls arrived, Mom changed her to troll dolls. : P

4:02 pm

Glantarell

oh i loved those troll dolls when i was a child

4:03 pm

Soodle

Oh great, Moll. I can never understand why trolls are entertained in the chog. I adopt a Deaf/Blind attitude.

4:03 pm

MollyL

Me too Glant. Remember braiding their hair? And making clothes for them. My friend and I made a house for ours out of a cardboard box.

4:03 pm

Glantarell

flyfishing in ireland in fine, flyfishing in wales is fantastic *ducking*

4:03 pm

Glantarell

oh yes, made clothes out of felt

4:04 pm

dfmchfhf

troll doll... braiding hair? o.0

4:04 pm

MollyL

I don't get troll behavior either Soodle. I also wonder if there aren't a few people posting here under two different names.

4:04 pm

welki

in wales, though, isn't it true that most of the flyfishing streams are controlled by private fishing clubs?

4:04 pm

Glantarell

oh, they were really cute - came in several sizes - fat feet, cure grins and hair in various colours

4:04 pm

welki

(i loved troll dolls, too)

4:04 pm

Glantarell

yes almost all fishing in wales is controlled by licence

4:05 pm

Soodle

Soodle putting her Tourism Ireland hat on.... Welki... flyfishing in Ireland would be great... with the added advantage of a minor

4:05 pm

Glantarell

but you can buy day/week licences

4:05 pm

Soodle

Babble meet as well!

4:06 pm

Glantarell

of course tyou could do a celtic tour - there are ferries between ireland and wales LOL

4:06 pm

Soodle

Now you are talking

4:06 pm

Kazzer99

i am back again!!

4:06 pm

welki

if only. i can't imagine how much a trip like that would cost ... and then the added expense of picking up guides in the pub to show us the good spots :)

4:07 pm

Glantarell

babble guides would be free LOL

4:07 pm

Glantarell

and they might even offer accommodation

4:07 pm

welki

do you flyfish, glantarell? soodle?

4:08 pm

Soodle

Welki, my son and heir is a keen fisherman. And my humble abode could accommodate a guest or two..... Sorry, I don't fish myself, but I would happily welcome any Babbler to my home!

4:08 pm

Glantarell

i don't flyfish any more - my father used to take me every saturday when i was a child to catch trout for tea, but I live in Brecon, and see flyfishermen in waders in the Usk through the spring and summer

4:09 pm

JBV

hello dear friends, I am here for a few minutes to say hello and thank you to all for your good wishes and candle icons - my husband's funeral was yesterday and I am just beginning to be able to think straight

4:09 pm

Soodle

Golly Molly - Do you really think that established Babblers are trolling?

4:10 pm

Glantarell

So sorry to hear that news JBV

4:10 pm

welki

i can tell you that the sight of me in waders would make a grown man pluck his eyes out

4:10 pm

MollyL

((((JBV))))) Prayers out for you.

4:10 pm

i would love a clue for en 6 21 first one.

4:11 pm

MollyL

JBV, those words help me as I am dealing with loss also. I'm glad they helped you too.

4:12 pm

Glantarell

when you say trolling are we talking internet behaviour or fishing behaviour?

4:12 pm

JBV

it is a great comfort to have these virtual hugs - I love you all

4:12 pm

mkg

found the word. i saw it clued before but couldnt get it.

4:12 pm

Does Welki look good in waders? Ask all the eyeless men running blindly around the chog......

4:14 pm

4:16 pm

Are you still on line, JVB?

4:17 pm

welki

bye, dfm

4:17 pm

Glantarell

bye dfm

4:18 pm

although, i think women generally pick up flyfishing quicker than men do ... something about the whip-like motion of the line ;)

4:18 pm

Soodle

Jeepers, Welki.. Just saw your post.. $1,500 to dublin? Crikey.

4:18 pm

Glantarell

oh dear - that brought a picture of a woman in thigh high leather boots etc

4:19 pm

MollyL

Soodle, to answer your earlier question, no. I don't think established Babblers are posting as other people. I do think the person who cracked on my icon this morning is though.

4:19 pm

welki

i suppose they'd be ~~haute couture waders~~

4:19 pm

Glantarell

ROFLMAO

4:19 pm

welki

i don't understand "cracked on your icon" molly

4:20 pm

Soodle

Oh, thats horrible, Moll. Its almost an invasion of your Babble privacy, isn't it?

4:20 pm

welki

i think that, if you did a search on women flyfishing, you'd find dozens of photos of barely naked women in the water with a fly-rod (and i really do mean fishing rod)

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

what?

4:21 pm

Glantarell

i don't get cracked on your icon either

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

what happen?

4:21 pm

Soodle

(((Soodle rapidly retracts the invitation for Welki to stay chez Soodle)))

4:22 pm

Glantarell

giggle - glantarell doesn;t retract

4:22 pm

MollyL

I was told this morning that my candle icon, that I put up out of respect for JVB's loss, was annoying and told to take it down.

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

how rude!

4:23 pm

welki

why have i been retracted? *unpacking*

4:23 pm

Glantarell

surely your own icon is your onw business?

4:23 pm

welki

who told you that?

4:24 pm

MollyL

I don't want to start name calling Welki. It's in the chat archives around 8 this morning.

4:24 pm

ChampFit

WHAT? Hate when I pay attention and find out someone was rude to someone else...

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

as long as you icon meets minimal pg13 standards who cares?

4:24 pm

Glantarell

soodlebum'sicon is lots of candles - has comment nbeen made about that?

4:24 pm

Hello jmc

4:24 pm

hi lynxx let me go put some clothes on!

4:24 pm

Soodle, do peole celebrate Hanukkah in Ireland?

4:24 pm

welki

you couldn't find a more modest welki

4:25 pm

Glantarell

aaah, the irosh are prudes LOL

4:25 pm

lynxxx

Was the icon a 'moving/flickering one Molly - perhaps that is why

4:25 pm

MollyL

Nope, I don't post those kind. I don't even think you can here.

4:25 pm

PinnyPoppins

Just the Jewish ones, Bichon!

4:25 pm

ChampFit

Is it meant to hypnotize? Doesn't take much!

4:26 pm

mkg

ty for et clue. got it.

4:26 pm

bichon

Lots of non-Jewish people celebrate it here. More holidays the better

4:26 pm

jmcnrick

some people have posted moving icons but they only move when they are big

4:26 pm

mkg

any clues for fi 5 please?

4:26 pm

bichon

which one?

4:26 pm

jmcnrick

refresh -- the winning outfit is my icon now

4:26 pm

PinnyPoppins

Really Bichon? I've never met a non-Jew that celebrated Chanukah

4:26 pm

lynxxx

You can Molly, but they are very distracting. Unless your photo was abnornmally large and making the chat all jumpy - then the person who told you that should go jump

4:27 pm

ChampFit

which one? the first is fi + you watch movies at the ***ema

4:27 pm

Soodle

Of course people celebrate Hanukkah her. People in Ireland celebrate EVERYTHING. If the cat has kittens, we celebrate. If its raining, we celebrate. If its snowing, we celebrate..

4:27 pm

bichon

In the US, because there are so many Jews, the edges of these holidays are blurred

4:27 pm

ChampFit

BBL to finish...

4:27 pm

hi soodle, I'm back

That's what I love so much about Ireland

4:28 pm

My d.i.l. who is in no way Jewish, celebrates Hanukkah. She's buyig a menorah even as we speak

4:28 pm

need fr 5 16 the only one worth 16 points please.

4:28 pm

mkg

what is the deal with celebrating hanukah when not jewish? i dont get it.

4:29 pm

Soodle

Was the ceremony nice, JVB.. Could you tell you tell us about it?, if its not too painful...

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

it seems a tad rude to adopt a religions holiday without the religion -- is she going to sing baruch adoni?

4:29 pm

saintfranny

I don't mean to interject myself - but I guess I am! Molly!! That guy - how old is he anyway?? - had no right to tell you to do anything, and I REALLY wish you hadn't changed your candle! He was being ridiculous - in fact, I find it hard to believe he was even serious - who does that????

4:29 pm

saintfranny

and, I'm very sorry to hear about JVB's loss...

4:29 pm

bichon

Schools tend to celebrate a lot of holidays and kids come home and want to know why they don't celebrate it

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

do i have to read the silly archive to find out who this was?

4:30 pm

bichon

I celebrate Hanukkah, I am Jewish, but totally an agnostic

soodle, I don't mind - my husband was so very well loved and respected - we had over 200 people at the funeral, all saying such wonderful things about him that I will always remember - I am fine, just exhausted

4:31 pm

lynxxx

new to manners too obvfiously

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

too bad he seemed ok last night -- maybe he didn't understand the society of babbleland

4:31 pm

saintfranny

well, i would put the big X on him if I were any of you. clearly, an idiot.

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

{{{JBV}}} sounds like it was lovely

4:31 pm

welki

i just read the chat from that exchange .. he starts off fine at 7:12, makes the remark at 7:19 (i think he just didn't think about what he was saying) and apologized twice for it after that

4:31 pm

bichon

what is this? A newbie who put his foot in his mouth

4:31 pm

JBV

he was a former school principal, school district administrator and very active in community affairs. I also just retired from a school administration job so we have a large network of support - plus, I have my Babble support!

4:32 pm

jmcnrick

well if he apologized then let it go

4:32 pm

welki

(still doesn't give him latitude to instruct anyone, but what the hey, maybe he's a young kid)

4:32 pm

saintfranny

yes welki -but the fact that Molly DID change her sweet icon is upsetting. I want her to put it back! :)

4:32 pm

Soodle

JVB... that must be such a comfort to you. I am so sorry for your loss, but so happy that he was well remembered and well loved. This will stay with you for a long time to come.

4:41 pm

jmcnrick

my m-i-l called the kennedys lace curtin irish and looked down her patrician boston nose at them

4:41 pm

Oh, JBV, compared to your loss, ours is trivial, but our little dog, Buster was knocked down and killed on

4:41 pm

Soodle

Wednesday.

4:42 pm

4:42 pm

jmcnrick

glan you would feel right at home in the US then as I am odd person out because in spite of 6 generations i am practically pure blood

oh how sad soodle I am so sorry

4:42 pm

JBV

oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Soodle, that's very sad

4:43 pm

bichon

Was Buster a Jack Russell?

4:43 pm

Soodle

As I said, JBV, trivial compared to your loss.

4:43 pm

bichon

When I was in Ireland there were all these little jack Russells running around in the road

4:44 pm

Kazzer99

hmm i am just changing things on my profile - i think

4:44 pm

JBV

yes, soodle, but also we were more or less preparing ourselves, while yours I'm sure was a terrible shock

4:44 pm

bichon

I swear they looked both ways when they crossed

4:44 pm

Soodle

No Bichon. He was a pure mongrel.
We got him from the resuce centre in June. He was so exuberant (sp?)

4:44 pm

JBV

my husband had had serious medical issues for many years and had been hospitalized twice in November - that's why you haven't seen me around here lately

4:45 pm

Soodle

My girls have photos of him, a half hour before he died. Flying around in the snow, and just so full of life. It was a huge shock to my girls.. just how fragile life is. :-(

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

that is hard JBV you really never entirely prepare for it i know and you are already worn out from the preliminaries of a long illness

4:46 pm

bichon

Sorry to hear about your pupster Soodle. I know how much a little guy can mean to a family

4:46 pm

Soodle

Thank you.

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

oh soodle that is especially poinant

4:46 pm

JBV

very true, jmc

4:48 pm

okay to change the subject so we don't all drown in our te4/4s. . . my big job interview is monday

7.5 hours well spent

4:49 pm

Soodle

Oh, JMC, I had no idea you were changing jobs... What is the job your going for?

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

i am changing my world saving venue to a national (or possibly an international) quaker org. I have applied for two jobs (well more but I didn't make the first cut)

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

my icon is now my interview clothes -- thank you all for voting but the polls are now closed

4:51 pm

Uneaixoise

very exciting, jmc -- we'll all be crossing fingers and toes on Monday! :-)

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

and if neither of those jobs pan out I will do something else

4:51 pm

Soodle

Aside... Welki. I was born and bred in Ireland. I know people from the 32 counties of ireland. But Cork is where the best people in the world come from. (and I am not just saying that.... the invitation has been re-issued, now I know you have Cork blood...P)

4:51 pm

JBV

are you considering moving to another city, jmc?

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

4:52 pm

i interview well, but hate them with a passion. 'tell me about a time when,' 'describe a circumstance in which...' *blech*

4:52 pm

umm, checking my world atlas,.... where is that?

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

but i am having dinner with TO and possibly others

4:53 pm

oh, Philly - closer to NJ - maybe we can meet sometime

4:53 pm

no, welki, I meant quaker mecca :)

4:53 pm

I didn't get those questions during my interviews... :o/

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

no they will ask me if i like to do public speaking and what is my experience in raising $$$

4:54 pm

5:32 pm

wildcat17

5:33 pm

stidmama

I really like tea.... :-D

5:33 pm

dfmchfhf

I get tea at the office... but usually make a cup or pot of good quality looseleaf tea when I get home...

5:34 pm

I adore tea.

5:34 pm

5:38 pm

LuvWordGames

LuvWordGames

flosey

oh yes, stid, she's just very busy

5:40 pm

stidmama

thanks for the CU

5:40 pm

stidmama

busy is okay then. I am glad I am not retired... LOL

5:40 pm

dfmchfhf

wire-metal (in latin) as a prefix, ore ending as a suffix?
Would that be a better clue?

5:41 pm

flosey

I've often said the same stid, retired people are free to volunteer EVERYWHERE!!!!!

5:41 pm

stidmama

(and they do!)

5:41 pm

flosey

and man o man, there's no end

5:41 pm

flosey

I've just wangled my way out of everything!

5:42 pm

stidmama

*yawn* I have to stay awake and alert long enough to pick Tom up at 5... *yawn*

5:42 pm

stidmama

good for you flosey! *stern mama look* shouldn't overdo.

5:42 pm

stidmama

5:44 pm

stidmama

oh! that's nice -- how are they?

5:44 pm

stidmama

"punane" inherently silly word jokes?

5:45 pm

flosey

great thanks stid - he has managed to get his little body through the corner of the playpen, but couldn't get head through!! had to be very stern there - but he does understand NO

5:45 pm

stidmama

oh my! that's a scary thing. Hope he will remember that lesson!

5:46 pm

stidmama

*practicing stern grandmother looks* (just in case I need them within the decade)

5:47 pm

stidmama

TOR!!! *faint*

5:47 pm

dfmchfhf

Don't think I've met you before...

5:47 pm

stidmama

good. our homes have never been set up so the kids were able to be in a different room when they were awake. Too many small rooms, strange corners, etc.

5:48 pm

stidmama

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:10 pm

flosey

at least, that's what I have

6:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh- I didn't see the up. I'm a little under the weather.

6:11 pm

cosdem

how can you tell which word is up?

6:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is really an intersting expression. how can one be either under or over the weather?

6:11 pm

dfmchfhf

hi cos! :o)

6:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Well, say here is the weather:---------------------

6:12 pm

dfmchfhf

TO If you're flying too high, all weather would be under you...

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's if I'm feeling good. But if I'm sick, I'm under it.

6:13 pm

herinfernallady

hi

6:13 pm

dfmchfhf

I call my umbrella "The Weather", so when it's raining, I'm under The Weather.

6:14 pm

dfmchfhf

hi herin! :o)

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

Hi DF

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"Flying too high with some guy in the sky is my idea of nothing to do"

6:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"But I get a kick out of you."

6:15 pm

cosdem

the first fi5?

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's sort of like the fi word you just wrote, but with a lisp

6:16 pm

dfmchfhf

I'd clue it but again nobody would get it :o(

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, that was in another grid.

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sorry.

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

my yam is possessed

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

Wow I can barely read the grid today. stupid hayfever

6:17 pm

cosdem

ah u had me typing in firth a few times lol

6:17 pm

dfmchfhf

by who, TO? o.0

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I really am not feeling so good. Sorry.

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am nuking a yam and it is howling

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

by satan, of course

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Even the chog, usually so coherent, is not making sense to me.

6:17 pm

cosdem

oh its not a problem. i hope you feel better soon

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I yam what I yam.

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean, it is wild/

6:18 pm

dfmchfhf

Do you have the ri5, cos?

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i also tried kings hawaiian bread tonight. i hated it. waste of money

6:19 pm

herinfernallady

TO thought about stabbing the yam first?

6:19 pm

dfmchfhf

Would stabbing a yam exorcise the possessing spirit? o.0

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol is that a cooking tip or should i drive a silver stake through it?:D

6:20 pm

cosdem

found it!

6:21 pm

herinfernallady

I think that it would give the yam air holes to breath out of. Either that or I find that with cooking things that make weird noises get stabbed to make sure they are really dead

6:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

ROFL

6:22 pm

herinfernallady

In this house the theory of repair is more duct tape or bigger hammer

6:23 pm

dfmchfhf

what if the problem is that there is too much duct tape? :o/

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

seriously how many up words?

6:25 pm

cosdem

6:25 pm

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:35 pm

Mom

Hi TO

6:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

herinfernallady

I am just floating along here

6:38 pm

Mom

6:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:40 pm

Mom

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

all of a sudden my appetite is back

6:41 pm

MollyL

Maple syrup and butter TO!!!

6:41 pm

Mom

that is a good thing

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:42 pm

Mom

((Molly)) I think your icon is irritating me, please change it, it has been here since this morning rofl

6:42 pm

MollyL

What's for dessert?

6:43 pm

ChampFit

Am back for a bit. The first 3/4's of this puzzle was much easier!

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

yeah, me too

6:43 pm

Mom

Hi Champ

6:43 pm

MollyL

Mom!! Nice try, but you couldn't be rude if you tried.
: D

6:43 pm

ChampFit

hello!

6:43 pm

Mom

lol. **sigh**

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi champ! i think a ganola bar

6:44 pm

MollyL

I'm glad you're feeling better TO.

6:44 pm

ChampFit

Fiber One...good for many things! ;)

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

or a granola bar

6:44 pm

Mom

I have a batch of chocolate peanut butter oatmeal treats in the fridge. I will gladly share

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

never! there are blogs devoted to them

6:44 pm

ChampFit

to what? Fiber ONe?

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

what are they? are they buckeyes?

6:45 pm

Mom

no, I haven't made the buckeyes yet. THese are made with margarine, sugar, cocoa, milk, oats and peanut butter and you drop them on wax paper and put them in the fridge until they are set

6:45 pm

MollyL

Hoo-ah! Mom made treats!

6:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

are they cookies?

6:46 pm

Mom

like a candy cookie

6:46 pm

ChampFit

Are they going in the PB?

6:46 pm

Barb's Horses

hi all

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes to champ. they have terrible effects.

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi barb

6:46 pm

Mom

you cook everything but the oats and peanut butter and then mix them in. delicious

6:46 pm

ChampFit

I know! My goofball 24 year old son ate 3 without looking at the label first. He couldn't leave the house most of the day!

6:46 pm

Mom

Hi Barb's Horses

6:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

now my dad claims no ill effects at all.

6:47 pm

Mom

I have mixed up refrigerator cookies and chocolate chip cookies but they are not baked

6:47 pm

ChampFit

Well, one at a time, maybe not. Although you probably don't want to be around too many peeps right after...

6:47 pm

Mom

I can put the dough in the pb

6:47 pm

MollyL

Dearest Mom, report to the PB for saying candy. I said it too so I'm right behind you and the treats.

6:48 pm

herinfernallady

Hi molly

6:48 pm

herinfernallady

hi Champ

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

YUM! dough!

6:48 pm

6:48 pm

Barb's Horses

6:49 pm

MollyL

6:49 pm

Mom

I imagine when I wake up in the morning there will be spoonfuls missing in the choc chip dough

6:49 pm

ChampFit

Hi all! DAng...need to head to PB myself. What to give up...

6:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

wait, mom. you still did not tell me what they are

6:49 pm

Mom

6:49 pm

ChampFit

eely

6:50 pm

ChampFit

OH DARN...to the PB with me!

6:50 pm

MollyL

No Mom, we are like the shoemaker's elves. There will be two more bowls of dough in there.

6:50 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks

6:50 pm

herinfernallady

HI Barb

Yes, fun, Owl. Just a bruised patella from a wipe-out onto a rock.

well, some would say it would have gone up quickly, had to reach its level - without intervention

9:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

so o where to go but up

9:20 pm

lbdawger

drawbacks with kindle and nook are they are proprietory. only can buy amazon or barnes and noble books

9:20 pm

Scrabbler

Doren, I am considering getting a Kindle.

if you can afford the difference scrabs, look at ipad instead

9:22 pm

Pinikula

I d/l Kindle to my laptop...don't have to buy a kindle to read that we

9:22 pm

Scrabbler

Good point, Doren. First I am going to get a new XC-ski package for $380-480 or so.

9:22 pm

Pinikula

we = way

9:23 pm

Scrabbler

What do you mean, Pini?

9:23 pm

dfmchfhf

Problem with e-readers nowadays is that the formats are all proprietary... i.e. you can't read iPad ebooks on a Kindle...

9:23 pm

Dorens

you deserve both scrabbler

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok peeps, time to finish straightening up . doren if you have that email addy i'dappreciate it

9:23 pm

dfmchfhf

Most likely, in a few decades, we won't be able to read today's e-books at all.

9:23 pm

lbdawger

not all of them are proprietory. Kobo, sony, cruz and alibrus are not proprietory

9:23 pm

Pinikula

I mean...I read Kindle books on my laptop, Scrabs...

9:23 pm

Scrabbler

Debating needs vs wants is tough for a frugal person such as me.

9:24 pm

sorry owl, i didn't send it last nite? thought i did... will get to it shortly

72 Temple Owl

doren will you be all with family over the holidays or time to do sightseeing?

9:25 pm

Scrabbler

I love gadgets so "want" a Kindle, iPad, iPod Touch...

9:25 pm

lbdawger

most ebooks have to be downloaded to a computer then uploaded to the reader.

9:25 pm

Pinikula

I have an iTouch...comes in handy when killing time waiting for something/someone

9:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

and scrabbler, any plans for jersey?

9:25 pm

Dorens

unsure owl... will keep it open, ok

9:25 pm

cosdem

the last re5 please?

9:26 pm

Pinikula

The iPad seems to be a larger version of the iTouch

9:26 pm

lbdawger

re + *** you're it!

9:26 pm

Scrabbler

Not til at least the spring. Winter is too uncertain for driving 6 hrs.

9:26 pm

Dorens

i've seen kindles and ipads and there is no question that ipad is superior (imho)

9:26 pm

Pinikula

re + ***, you're IT!

ipads are designed to be more than a reader. the cruz is almost a tablet for all that it can do

9:28 pm

Dorens

that leslie has a lot of nerve, and you can tell her that for me scrabbler

9:28 pm

Scrabbler

if there is a warm spell/thaw then maybe I could drive down before March.

9:28 pm

Dorens

would be terrific scrabbler... particularly if we can get jbv to join us again

9:29 pm

Pinikula

Scrabs, that link is for you! :)

9:29 pm

Scrabbler

Very cool, Pini! I didn't know about that option.

9:30 pm

Pinikula

I opted to check it out before going out and getting an actual reader...that way I could "test drive" it before buying ;)

9:30 pm

dfmchfhf

thing about iPad is that unlike other e-books it requires active power.

9:30 pm

lbdawger

do a search for e-readers. wikipedia has a good comparison chart

9:30 pm

Pinikula

...and I don't actually have to buy the reader since the laptop is portable ;)

9:31 pm

dfmchfhf

e-books are weird, turning the pages is so~oo slow... the page takes ~0.3s to clear and 0.5s to render...

9:31 pm

dfmchfhf

but a single battery lasts practically forever.

9:31 pm

dfmchfhf

hmm, pini, that looks like a good app to put on my tablet :o)

9:32 pm

yeah it is a lot of info. cut and paste the ebooks you might be interested in and do a comparison. I can tell you about kobo, cruz and sony.
