3:52 am

Kazzer99

sorry

3:52 am

Hi Kaz!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

hi kazzer!

3:53 am

zoozzoom

WTG Kazzer!

3:53 am

Brookie

Ruby, I lived in France for a few months, and the only reason I was treated well was because I was fluent in French at the time.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

let's get some hot chocolate n the PB; it is bitterly cold here

3:53 am

zoozzoom

Ruby the re10 is a redo word, re +to make known, disclose, or reveal + gerund

3:53 am

Brookie

Thanks for the clue, Kaz! I didn't have that one! :-)

3:54 am

rubyfoo

it makes all the difference. Even trying to speak pleases them

3:54 am

Kazzer99

yw - and thanks for the 10

3:54 am

zoozzoom

yw :-)

3:54 am

rubyfoo

thank you for the 10, would have thought it had a hyphen!

3:55 am

Brookie

I can understand their point, ruby. How would Americans feel if the French expected Americans to speak French to them when visiting America? But that's what a lot of Americans do in France, or any other country, for that matter.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

brookie, when I moved here I wasn't exactly fluent.

3:56 am

Brookie

But I'm sure you tried.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

now, I'm fluent, but with an American accent, but, fortunately, I understand almost everything

3:56 am

rubyfoo

even TV and movies, as long as it's not comedy which is spoken too fast and contains too much slang and vernacular

3:56 am

Brookie

Good to hear!

3:57 am

Brookie

True.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

they don't teach those in high school!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

when we went to court, I understood everything

3:57 am

Brookie

I can totally relate.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

sometimes I get very tired, though, as husband refuses to speak although he reads it much better than I. He also doesn't write it very well which is very odd!

3:59 am

Brookie

Speaking is the hardest, probably followed by writing (unless spelling is a challenge, in which case that's reversed).

4:01 am

rubyfoo

we had to learn to take down what the teacher said in jr. high, so I can write correctly, if like a teenager

4:02 am

rubyfoo

but we never spoke, even in college

4:02 am

rubyfoo

it took until my first trip to France when son was a baby, for me to start speaking (and he's 47!)

4:04 am

Brookie

That's interesting. Starting in my 2nd year in high school, my French teacher would only speak French, and we could only respond in French. It was a real struggle at first! But I loved the language and ended up majoring in French in college. If I could do it all over again, though, I would have taken Italian.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a much better method. Forotunately, that old-fashioned style gave me a good foundation but left me with a bad accent, thanks to the Bronx-accented French of my first teacher.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

it's funny since, my English is not particularly regional

4:05 am

Brookie

It sounds like you're enjoying Franch, though.

4:06 am

Brookie

France, that is!

4:06 am

rubyfoo

yes and no. It's beautiful here, but we're getting old

4:06 am

Brookie

Would you move back to the U.S.?

4:07 am

rubyfoo

it's too late for that and probably couldn't afford it. And anyway, I planted about 20 trees on the property, 13 years ago

4:08 am

Brookie

Gotta go now, ruby (and all lurkers!). Enjoy the day!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

bye brookie, nice chatting with you!

4:09 am

Brookie

You too!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

115 words and saving the rest (hahah) for later

4:09 am

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds good FM!. We are going out to lunch so no breakfast for me, just coffee.

4:51 am

FMitch

Is the weather being kind to you today?

4:52 am

Sally-catlover

Frozen slush and snow here, not nice. Was so cold and damp this morning that I couldn't turn off the electric fence. However I was wearing wellingtons and was very brave!

4:52 am

FMitch

eek!

4:53 am

FMitch

Interesting grid today, takes some working at.

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

Had been told that I would be insulated with rubber boots but had never been grave enough to try.

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

brb

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

Back. Eek! grave should have read brave.

4:55 am

FMitch

lol

4:56 am

FMitch

grave might work too

4:56 am

FMitch

Time for me to pootle off as tum is rumbling. Have a good lunch.

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

bye for now.

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

Marc Freeman

What is the en6 before the en7, please

6:44 am

SaraY

gran, Molly's clue at 6.33 is a good one - perhaps you are too pure to get it. It starts at the bottom right of the grid and works up to the top left. Good luck.

6:44 am

SaraY

Marc, a navy rank.

Kaplan the Magne

8:23 am

dfmchfhf

8:24 am

dfmchfhf

Kaplan the Magne

Well, to be fair, so should the 10. I know, I know- Enable is not fair.

8:25 am

dfmchfhf

oh, thanks for the re10 ;o)

9:09 am

lil*monkey

please someone! a clue for the pe6,21

9:10 am

Kazzer99

dont have that one yet

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

actually i did have an idea for a babble christmas party theme. er, holiday party

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

we can dress up and have a pollyanna

9:11 am

lil*monkey

what is a pllyanna

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

everyone buys a gift and then exchange. pollyannas is actually when you have a specific person. or you can put gifts on table, draw numbers for who picks first. next person can wither steel the first gift or pick another, etc

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry, second person can either steel the first gift or choose one. and so on. a gift may only be stolen twice.

9:14 am

Kazzer99

bit like secret santas

9:14 am

lil*monkey

we're going to have that at work, but it's not called pollyanna

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

damn i KNOW it's steAl who do i keep misspelling

9:14 am

lil*monkey

i don't like the stealing part, i would rather choose a gift for a specific person and not have it stolen

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

well those marines you know :/

9:15 am

kje

I'm with you lil

9:15 am

lil*monkey

no, not marines

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

they like to get big bottles of bubble bath that look like wine

9:15 am

kje

I miss just plain ol' gift giving without the silly games - my siblings always want to do something stupid

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

on my end they are

9:15 am

Kazzer99

i have 69 left but i am off to look at the list if its about

9:16 am

kje

9:16 am

Kazzer99

this years xmas party is being organized by me and we are just having a nice meal with a present for all

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

i miss having many things i would like some very inexpensive but no one ever asks or tries to find out. i want the bob dylan mono set and a dutch oven this year.

9:17 am

lil*monkey

i like your style, kazzer

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

fairly modest wants

9:17 am

lil*monkey

wow, don't know what to say

9:18 am

dfmchfhf

missing two As... any hints? :o/

9:18 am

Kazzer99

though i do need a final question for my quiz - it needs to sound like a question but is in fact a daft joke

9:18 am

lil*monkey

which As, dfmch?

9:18 am

dfmchfhf

dunno, don't use list.

9:18 am

kje

I do not want to be asked... if you know me, you know the things I like... if you don't know me, I do not need a gift from you... I'd rather just spend time with people. I only buy "experience" gifts now for my nephews... things we can do together

9:18 am

dfmchfhf

have 1ai 3an 3ar 3ax

9:19 am

lil*monkey

you need 2 AEs

9:19 am

dfmchfhf

never mind, found them... didn't notice the E >.>

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

i am buying myself a tv. mine is so old is does not even get any channel above 64!!! kje i agree, but this is FAMILY. i think it's sad. i feel very awkward getting their gifts sometimes for that very reason.

9:21 am

kje

ditto, TO - my brother especially still buys me things and says "this looked just like you"... and I think, well, maybe when I was 12 - but that is OK, he put thought into it and that is what matters mostly

9:21 am

kje

I am buying myself a pair of Frye lace up knee high boots... gorgeous

9:22 am

dfmchfhf

nonene is totally a word >:o(

9:22 am

lil*monkey

9:57 am

car.eeyore

Congrats DFM!

9:57 am

JBV

I'm OK, car, thanks - my sister and brother-in-law left on Friday, brother and his two sons left yesterday, today it's just me and my son (who's sleeping right now)

9:57 am

JBV

yes, fortunately, I'm good at organizing myself - have many small projects but I am not overwhelmed yet :)

9:58 am

welki

hey, jbv! don't know if you noticed the other day, but when you said you live near rutgers, i mentioned that my oldest daughter (i have two who've graduated from rutgers) lives in somerset. she and her husband are paramedics out of rw johnson

9:58 am

car.eeyore

That silence can either bring you peace or be deafening. I hope that you will find peace, but know that I am here if you need me!

9:59 am

JBV

yes, welki I saw that your daughter was in somerset, but I did not know that she was an EMT - my husband was taken to the hospital twice in November by ambulance so maybe we met her!

9:59 am

JBV

thank you very much , car

9:59 am

welki

so ... next time i'm in your neck of the woods, let's go for a brew at harvest moon :)

JBV

10:02 am

crosshair

lol jbv,i never get that said to me

10:02 am

welki

lol ... understood! telling me to not forget to eat would be like telling me to not forget to breathe!

10:02 am

JBV

I have never forgotten to eat in my entire life - in fact this week with my sister and brother was more like a food fest than anything else :) (we're Italian, what can I say)

10:42 am

dfmchfhf

wonder when someone's gonna try some injection next, and whether the site is okay with it...

10:42 am

rururocks

I wish he would give the delete power to some of the players who've been here a long time to eliminate them more quickly

10:42 am

hootowl

Ru - I found a tee you might like! It says "A Pun at Maturity is Fully Groan"

10:42 am

Signals.com

10:43 am

rubyfoo

I love it, hoot!

10:43 am

Haz1558

I was going to accuse you of crawling, crossy, then realised I'd been throwing out a bit of flattery myself.

10:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

You would have to write it to myself- Self-employ=no sicktime

10:43 am

phaeton

ruru...that kind of power is dangerous

10:43 am

rururocks

I have sworn off of punning now ...

10:43 am

dfmchfhf

it'ld be nice if users could give negative ratings to players, then those chat messages are auto-hidden...

10:43 am

Haz1558

You'd have to pass some sort of test to see if you were worthy of that kind of power.

10:43 am

hootowl

m9 should get one too!

10:43 am

rubyfoo

I fell on the ice today but did n't get hurt, am still angry with DH for putting cinders everywhere but where I needed to walk

10:44 am

godthaab

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!

10:44 am

hootowl

Oh don't do it on my account!

10:44 am

Haz1558

He'll not have done it deliberately, ruby. He just wasn't thinking.

10:44 am

Haz1558

Well done godthaab!

10:44 am

Congrats.

aww ruby Do: hope you're fine...

10:45 am

rubyfoo

I don't think so, dfm, I think that is basically a self-solving problem

10:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

I would vanish with you.

10:45 am

rubyfoo

I was lucky

10:45 am

crosshair

crawling??

10:46 am

rubyfoo

it is really nasty here, extremely cold with a lot of snow on top of ice

10:46 am

Patxxx

tino

10:46 am

dfmchfhf

it would give us some degree of control over the situation, at least.

10:46 am

rururocks

tino?

10:46 am

rubyfoo

but this assortment of people is really interesting and fun

10:46 am

crosshair

i used to be admin for gamespy.com,perhaps i should talk with dr g....

10:46 am

Haz1558

Crawling = doing a Uriah Heap, being all obsequious. Not a Canadian expression, crossy?

10:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

Patxx, noting your icon, I watched a really trippy Betty Boop with Cab Calloway yesterday on u-tube.

10:47 am

crosshair

still means nothing

10:47 am

Patxxx

Sorry. Haven't been looking. Did I do anymore? Jinxed,

10:47 am

rubyfoo

and it would come down to a question of personal taste -- too much like high school!

10:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

It had been banned because it was too druggy.

10:47 am

dfmchfhf

also I figured out why my browser was crashing :o)

10:47 am

rubyfoo

I like that def of crawling, haz, never heard that before but it's really vivid

10:48 am

I think the systems move from the UK to here in about 2 days

11:00 am

FMitch

Haz, intreagued by your spiced apple pork today - what ingredients do you use?

11:00 am

flosey

thanks Haz, still looking

11:01 am

Haz1558

It's kind of made up/adapted. Loin of pork, coriander/cumin on top with apple and clove jelly, cooked in foil with chicken stock and apple juice - keeps it nice and moist. Served with a kind of hot apple sauce, again with some of the clove jelly melted in.

11:02 am

flosey

that sounds delicious, Haz

11:02 am

FMitch

oh yum will have to give that a try.

11:03 am

Haz1558

There's not a lot left so it went down well!

11:03 am

Scrabs!! hello :)

11:05 am

hurshy

hello

11:05 am

Haz1558

Hello, hurshy. Is your dad still okay?

11:05 am

Scrabbler

I just watched the 2st 2 episodes of MI-5, season 1---WOW! I am loving it but I CANNOT multitask when watching--there are so many details to look for.

11:06 am

flosey

hello hurshy

11:06 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy--been thinking of you! Haven't seen you recently. Doing OK?

11:06 am

hurshy

yes, he is still sedated but they are gradually easing up on it and gradually allowing his lungs to take over more from the vent

11:06 am

FMitch

Hi hurshy how is your Dad doing?

11:06 am

dfmchfhf

hi hurshy! :o)

11:06 am

hurshy

unfortunately i have caught a cold and cannot be with him for today at least :(

11:06 am

FMitch

((hurshy))

11:06 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, what happened to your father?

11:06 am

Haz1558

Good, glad he's making progress. An anxious time for all of you.

11:07 am

hurshy

he had an aortic dissection.

11:08 am

Scrabbler

Well, then, he is LUCKY to be alive. The diagnosis is often made post-mortem. Wow is he lucky.

11:08 am

hurshy

i know.

11:08 am

MollyL

Hursh, glad to hear your Dad is doing better.

11:08 am

Scrabbler

Did he have symptoms or did a routine sonogram reveal it?

11:08 am

hurshy

he was lucky to be at work where people noticed he looked unwell and called 911. he would never have done anything had he been by himself.

11:08 am

hurshy

he had chest pain, numbness, shortness of breath, dizziness

11:09 am

hurshy

he was lucky the people diagnosing him figured it out correctly.

11:09 am

hurshy

he was lucky the best cardiothoracic surgeon was available and did his surgery.

11:09 am

Scrabbler

I am AMAZED with his good fortune.

11:11 am

hurshy

yes, i am very thankful for all this. i just hope he does not later waste it. i am very worried whether he will follow instructions or not. i can see him wanting to lift or move something and thinking, oh, it will probably be fine, and it doesn't matter if i die anyway.

11:12 am

FMitch

one day at a time, don't start fretting about that now.

11:12 am

Haz1558

He'll maybe be so weak it'll take him a while to get the strength to do anything. And what FM said.

11:12 am

rururocks

ep6 ?

11:12 am

Scrabbler

It's his option to be non-compliant and that is a common choice throughout life, but he will be quite sore and exhausted for several wks.

11:13 am

Haz1558

ep6 - e plus the Head of the RC church, use double vowel at the end.

11:13 am

hurshy

he will be exhausted just at first, yet. it's when he feels better that i'm worried about.

11:13 am

hurshy

i meant yes, not yet.

11:13 am

Scrabbler

TY, Haz.

11:13 am

Scrabbler

26 degrees and a foot of snow here, Ruru. How is So Cal?

11:13 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:14 am

FMitch

Hey ruru!

11:14 am

hurshy

i told my mom if he does really wake up today to call me so i can go in for a bit with a mask at least.

11:14 am

rururocks

is that the Po'4's email website?

11:14 am

rururocks

gm FM

11:14 am

Scrabbler

Yes, wash your hands, wear a mask, don't touch face, and you are not contagious.

11:15 am

FMitch

Good to see you ruru.

11:15 am

rururocks

mid 50's here in NOR cal.. scrabs

11:15 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Ruru. The word reminds me of apogee.

11:15 am

Scrabbler

I thought you were in San Diego.

11:16 am

Sally-catlover

Hi folks. Back from veeeery long lunch, just sat down to finish this grid off!

11:16 am

rururocks

I live in the wine country in Northern California

11:16 am

hurshy

oh scrabbler, perhaps you can set my mind at ease a bit about that - yesterday i must have been coming down with it. i did not touch his face, only his hand, and of course he's not using those at the moment. i wasn't ever terribly near his head, but i have been worrying whether just being in the room breathing could have passed this to him, cause i know that people are most contagious when coming down with things and early on. what do you think?

11:17 am

Haz1558

Okay, husband wants computer so I'll sign off. Enjoy the grid and best wishes for your dad's recovery and for more peace of mind for you, hurshy. Bye for now!

11:17 am

hurshy

thank you haz, ttfn

11:17 am

phaeton

i'm stuck....re10? does it come from the re9?

11:17 am

rururocks

ex 8./ 80?

11:17 am

Scrabbler

A cold virus is actually the least dangerous germ. A hospital is loaded with really bad bacteria.

11:17 am

rururocks

re 10 revolves around pulling your pants down again

11:18 am

rururocks

and again

11:18 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, OK, I looked up Napa Valley. My cousin just moved to Gilroy a couple of months ago.

11:18 am

hurshy

well i don't KNOW i have a cold. it seems like a cold but what if it is flu or something else?

11:18 am

Kazzer99

any clues for the in 8 please

11:18 am

phaeton

ty...that's the ex ruru is looking for

11:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sally

11:18 am

bichon

Gilroy used to be the garlic capital of the world. Now it's all grown in China

11:18 am

FMitch

stop flashing us ruru!

11:19 am

hurshy

in + the place where you worship an idol

11:19 am

Scrabbler

H, if you have the flu (and I have not heard that it has begun in the US yet) you would be much more ill--aches, cough, bad headache and unlikely to get out of bed.

11:19 am

rururocks

*can't help myself fm..lol*

11:19 am

FMitch

lol

11:19 am

Scrabbler

Not inaltar...looking

11:20 am

hurshy

i was achy last night but not so much today. i have had lots of headaches lately so that doesn't tell me anything.

11:20 am

rururocks

thanks phaeton I had that ex 8 loaded in the wrong spot

11:20 am

phaeton

done

11:20 am

crosshair

back..my boy has had a never ending series of colds,i swear that school is a breeding ground for it,that we have had to delay our family flu shots time and time again

11:20 am

dfmchfhf

hi sally! :o)

11:20 am

Scrabbler

Congrats Phaeton!

11:20 am

phaeton

so, ruru, are you looking for the other ex8?

11:21 am

dfmchfhf

congrats phae!

11:21 am

Scrabbler

No need to delay the flu shot because of a cold.

11:21 am

Sally-catlover

Hi dfm. Nice to know I'm not invisible :-)

11:21 am

rururocks

yes.

11:21 am

rururocks

I am confused about the ex's

11:21 am

rururocks

I need the first one

11:21 am

Kazzer99

thnx for in 8

11:21 am

FMitch

Hi Sally, missed yo coming into the log.

11:21 am

dfmchfhf

waitwhat we're pretending that sally is invisibible? Okay then ;oP

11:21 am

bichon

in altar, or is something else?

11:21 am

Scrabbler

I said hi too, Sally! *waving across the pond*

11:22 am

Sally-catlover

Sniffs.

11:22 am

FMitch

.. and I missed Haz going :(

11:22 am

phaeton

ex8...mathematical term

11:22 am

rururocks

(wave from the PB there scrabs*)

11:22 am

dfmchfhf

scrabbs, PB for you... :oP

11:22 am

crosshair

so it is ok if he is barking,and dripping? we can still get the shot?

11:22 am

Scrabbler

Oops, po4 is in the grid. *skipping to the PB*

11:22 am

smaandmea

which i does it run from?

11:23 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Scrabs! How are the bunnies today?

11:24 am

dfmchfhf

The base is an op7 of the ex8 function.

11:24 am

Scrabbler

Cross, the flu shot is inactive and vaccines are contraindicated only for serious illnesses. Yes, you need the shot ASAP to develop protective antibodies before flu season hits.

11:24 am

FMitch

bottom i smaa

11:24 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies are all sleeping--they perk up at dawn + dusk.

11:24 am

crosshair

k,will do

11:24 am

FMitch

Good lunch Sally?

11:25 am

Scrabbler

And, crossy, we get creamed with tens of thousands of germs every day.

11:25 am

Sally-catlover

Yes FM. Smoked salmon with lemon and mint, then roast beef with all the trimmings, then a pudding called a chocolate volcano. I nearly asked for the chocolate etna, but thought it was too much of an in-joke!

11:26 am

FMitch

LOL and sounds delish!

11:26 am

Sally-catlover

I did however ask for the chocolate vesuvius and got a very blank look.

11:26 am

Scrabbler

My point, Cross, is that our immune system can handle a lot, including vaccines while we are ill. Exceptions, in some cases, = live vaccines (MMR, chicken pox, etc)

11:26 am

FMitch

What do they know!

11:27 am

dfmchfhf

MMR?

11:27 am

Scrabbler

So the in6 (in + worship place) comes from the bottom i?

11:27 am

Sally-catlover

Did you enjoy your scrambled egg and bacon FM?

11:27 am

FMitch

yes Scrabs

11:27 am

FMitch

oh yes it was scrummy.

11:28 am

Scrabbler

I see no place to worship word, alas.

11:28 am

dfmchfhf

in8, scrabs

11:28 am

FMitch

sorry Scrabs it is the in8 that comes from there

11:28 am

MollyL

Ooo, Sally's lunch makes me hungry!

11:28 am

jacq

11:29 am

jacq

11:29 am

dfmchfhf

11:29 am

Sally-catlover

Scrabs, you often see these at the side of the road where there has been an accident, especially in RC countries.

11:29 am

jacq

not temple either it begins with the letters we use to quiet people

11:30 am

Scrabbler

Newsflash: I finally found the worship word and then in8. Phew, I am dense this AM.

Sally-catlover

There are some hard to find ones, aren't there.

11:36 am

jacq

11:36 am

Sally-catlover

No scrabs, taking them off. Also a photographic term.

Kazzer99

11:37 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I get it now--got 2 words from that clue.

12:07 pm

Dr_God

Well, it looks like we're Poop Stain-free. (Man, the sentences you find yourself typing sometimes...) His scourge has at least galvanized me to finish the new site quicker, so that you guys have the ability to mute/kick trolls. Time for me to go watch the Bears. Here's hoping you guys have a Poop Stain-less afternoon!

12:07 pm

that's a fair bit of snow, for sure! *reminds self to find snow shovel again* we had 6" two weeks ago and it pretty well shut down western washington... LOL

12:34 pm

rbud

oh, I'll betI i lived in Bellingham one winter, half an inch one day and cars were all over the road on our hill, lol!

12:34 pm

stidmama

yep! that's about right! LOL

12:35 pm

stidmama

hey dfm -- need more on the "hold sacred" in 8 please?

12:36 pm

stidmama

this is predicted to be a very cold, long -- and snowy -- winter, even worse than 2 years ago when we were snowed in for a week (they don't plough roads in our rural section until last); I kept high-centering when I tried to take the cars out!

12:36 pm

crosshair

snowy?...snowy?..we have 3 feet in the ground and another foot coming tonight...snowy??! lol

12:36 pm

dfmchfhf

not out + a reliquary?

12:37 pm

no fair crossy >:o(

12:37 pm

rbud

12:37 pm

rbud

3 FEET! O_O

12:37 pm

crosshair

indeed rbud

12:37 pm

MollyL

What is high centering?

12:37 pm

stidmama

good for you cross! my guess is that you are prepared... and practiced with significant snow? the other side of the mountains barely notice less than a foot. Over here... *shrug*

12:37 pm

crosshair

also know as bottoming out

12:38 pm

stidmama

when the snow in the middle of the road between the ruts is taller than the space under the vehicle

12:38 pm

crosshair

lol,were are busy little beavers with the plows and shovels,but i fear the side roads will suffer tonight

12:38 pm

stidmama

thanks again dfm *thinking more*

12:38 pm

rbud

ah, the joys of wintertime! :P

12:39 pm

MollyL

'Round these parts that's called un-plowed roads. : P

12:39 pm

stidmama

when I grow up, I want to put radiant heaters in the steps to the front and back doors so they don't freeze solid and get slippery...

12:39 pm

crosshair

if you live on a side road you generally shop for 2 weeks at a time starting in november cause you never know when you will be stuck for 3 or 4 days

12:40 pm

stidmama

my problem was, I didn't have the reliquary yet! got it now! :-D

12:40 pm

crosshair

when you grow up stidmama,you better have shares in a hydro company!

12:40 pm

MollyL

Last winter, when we got three bad blizzards I wanted a giant blow torch so I could go out and melt the snow. Hate the stuff.

12:40 pm

stidmama

yep. we try to keep a month's rations just in case. hence the generator and 500 gal propane tank... etc.

12:41 pm

crosshair

indeed

12:41 pm

Bonneville Power Administration... (used to work for them when I was young)

12:41 pm

rbud

oh, wow, reminds me of one winter spent in Missouri in a little cabin in the woods, had a little '67 Chevy II, waited 10 days for someone in a four-wheel drive to break the road, then we "plowed" to town, finally

12:42 pm

Boobear

clue for en 5 please

12:42 pm

dfmchfhf

elegant? :o/

12:43 pm

stidmama

oh, that sounds familiar, rbud! we have the fortune to have TWO oystering families at the end of our road. In a real emergency, a slog down to their places and we would have full-size tractors clearing things for us.

12:43 pm

dfmchfhf

2:36 pm

Uneaixoise

Anniebrook

No, but it is very cold and very windy here

Soodle

Jeepers, Mom, not at all. Records are being broken every night. We are used to a bit of frost, maybe minus 1-2, but this is totally unheard of.

2:39 pm

Mom

that wind is nasty. The cold isn't so bad on a calm day

2:39 pm

Mom

Dfm, do you get a lot of snow?

Oh Soodle, that is dreadful

Cabin fever is a big problem here... We have been holed up since Wednesday..... Between that, and the loss of Buster, everybody is getting a bit antsy. I would actually like to be able to go to work tomorrow!

2:43 pm

3:24 pm

Anniebrook

welki, arent you a brooklyn girl?

3:24 pm

welki

3:24 pm

I've heard Faidley's has the best crab cakes in Maryland. And (although pricey) they ship.

3:25 pm

rururocks

3:25 pm

Anniebrook

3:28 pm

3:29 pm

flosey

3:29 pm

3:31 pm

welki

no prices on the faidley's website. that tells me that i'd better be making my own crabcakes :)

3:32 pm

MollyL

Wild might be right about the importing and tariffs. I sent a box of my husband's things to his kids in Canada and had to pay 80 dollars in those type of fees.

Alas, she probably wants the Dairy Queen one because it says DAIRY QUEEN all over it. I'm not sure the other one would float a ten-year-old's boat.

6:32 pm

"all" input? :oO

6:33 pm

PAV3

I'm past the halfway mark! time for a break

6:33 pm

Pinikula

well, shoot, Molly...the ball makes more ice cream...I can always include a bag of candy to mix in

6:33 pm

Pinikula

even you, dfm!! LOL

6:34 pm

MollyL

I agree that the ball is a better value. However, I'm not sure a kid would care about that.

6:34 pm

Pinikula

the DQ version just makes the ice cream, too (and less than the ball) and you have to add the candy stuff in after...so they're kinda both the same...but the ball you actually get to PLAY with...the DQ machine isn't interactive...

6:34 pm

Pinikula

...am I thinking too much?

6:34 pm

In my experience of gift giving and gift getting, people usually expect what they ask for, just saying

well, Pini, you could always get the ball one and keep the receipt. watch her reaction. if it is a no go, return it and buy the other

6:37 pm

Pinikula

true...

But I said it was going to be completely tangential... maybe even totally unrelated! :oO

FUN FOR THE KIDS!!! November 9, 2010
Reviewer: Happy Dad of 4 (Arkansas) See all my reviews >
More than expected extras needed to make ice cream. 3/4 cup of half and half to stir into vanilla mix and 3/4 cup of salt to add to crushed ice and water. Stirring for 10 minutes is fun for the kids for about 2, then its not so much fun for the parents for the remaining 8. Makes surprisingly very good ice cream. Would recommend adding your own toppings. Would recommend for kids of all ages.

Reviewer: auntieb (alabama) See all my reviews >
My nephew had been talking about getting one of these - so Auntie has to oblige -- He loves it and so does the rest of the family -- I asked him last week if he still was using it and he replied -- as long as Mom keeps Milk for me to make them !! I think this is a great alternative to fighting robots and monsters-- it also teaches children the joy of preparing something for the family that they can make themselves -- I would recommend this item to everyone

Need many products to make ice cream was suprised. More work for the parents than for the kids. Although have to admit ice cream was good when all done. to bad only have one flavor to choose from so far. Sure you can buy what ever candy you like and chop it up also.

you know what they mean when they say "go off on a tangent", pini?

6:39 pm

Pinikula

well those are some pretty nice reviews, pav...thx! :)

6:39 pm

MollyL

Pini, my experience with kids is telling me that if you get her the ball, she's going to open it and say "I wanted the Dairy Queen one".

6:39 pm

Pinikula

oh, yep, dfm...gotcha

6:39 pm

dfmchfhf

pini, I never wanted gifts... but from my experience with my peers back then, it really really depends on the child.

6:40 pm

PAV3

that was for the Blizzard machine, Pini...the campmor ice cream ball, may seem as kid-friendly, but many marketers won't get paid as much...I'm sure one could add whatever flavorings they wanted to either, but who wants to throw a ball around when you can build muscles and spin a handle?...

6:40 pm

Pinikula

I appreciate all the input...I'll think about it and take another look at the DQ machine...

6:41 pm

dfmchfhf

There are kids who would appreciate that you've put thought into the gift to make it better and funner... and kids who go "This isn't what I asked for!" if you replace the toy from the dollar store with a $100 gift certificate for the toystore.

6:41 pm

I'll keep you posted as to what (if either) she is surprised with...

Either way you go, ice cream makers have a track record of being used for about a month and then forgotten about.

Hi pe 4/6! Here is a story for today. I en 5/10ed grid early this morning and thought I would finish by noon But then life got in the way and fell behi 4/6 with the grid. It took me ae 5/10 to finish the grid; like ni 4/4 hours. Now I'll be ex 8/80 a story of clues. I was very in 5/12 at finding words in the grid. I gave my tr 4/4 of monkeys a ri4/6 and asked for their help,but they said, "No 4/5! We are not helping today. We are too busy fishing with our pi4/5." I said,"Pi4/6!Whatever! and hung up in a sn4/4.I did not shed a te4/4 over it though.I tried babbling monkeyless & thought "this is the pi 4/5! What is the po 5/12 of babbling if I'm just going to be miserable with frustration?" So I op4/5ed the list and ra 4/5ed it. Now I am going to si 4/6 off. I am going to eat a pe4/5,which has finally ri 5/12ed and watch my soap op 5/12s on SoapNet. I hope you got the gi 4/6 of some of my clues. I will no longer be po 7/40 clues tonight. I will re6/21 Babble tomorrow.

10:22 pm

mkg

i love thrift stores too. down side: my daughter in law bought a down comforter in a used store. i went to visit. got terrible allergies. she didnt wash it or clean it and could have been a cat owner. so i was so sick for days.

10:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:24 pm

mkg

clue for the 10? and dont have any 9s either.

10:25 pm

TeaNCrackers

that one won't really get you in trouble - the point of getting the deduction is that you paid for it at one time and now are taking the fair market value as a deduction because you donated it to charity.

10:25 pm

cosdem

re + ex8/80 for the 10

10:25 pm
