2:56 am

gortmold

Aunty Gort's Yuletide Kitchen Hint: just because you made vast oceans of tofu chocolate mousse in your new xmas thermomix, doesn't mean your carnivorous family is going to eat it!:)

2:57 am

2:57 am

gortmold

my mother who is more elegant than the queen, crossed her eyes, made gagging noises and pretended to puke!

2:57 am

lynxxx

lol

2:58 am

gortmold

i agree lyn, can't stand the stuff myself, but i thought chocolate covers a multitude of sins...

2:58 am

gortmold

now i know that there are sins against the tastebuds so heinous no chocolate can cover

2:59 am

gortmold

chocolate and the right amount of vodka, however...

2:59 am

gortmold

what did you learn this xmas?

3:00 am

lynxxx

remind me not to come to dinner at your place

3:00 am

lynxxx

grape and goat cheese salad is simply delicious

3:01 am

gortmold

that does sound good, bit nigella-watermelon-feta-salad-esque

3:02 am

gortmold

the sweet juxtaposed with the salty, the crisp and the creamy

3:03 am

gortmold

(new year's resolution #2351 achieved: use juxtaposed in a sentence)

3:04 am

lynxxx

#2351! did anyone ever tell you are a bit hard on yourself

3:04 am

gortmold

actually i don't make them at all, but i do like bringing words down off the shelf and dropping them into conversations

3:04 am

gortmold

8:35 am

m9f9l

oh that's horrid.

8:35 am

welki

hehehe ... i think we all know how crossy's plight will play out

8:35 am

JBV

the stories from the storm are going to be legendary

8:35 am

Aloyisius

ugh! what a nightmare

8:36 am

welki

he could probably run to the store and pick up a speakerphone while he waits for the next tech to speak with him

8:36 am

JBV

i'm watching (listening to) ABC news on TV, they just talked to a guy stuck in his car since last night who needs heart medication

8:36 am

m9f9l

8:36 am

JBV

and a guy back from Afghanistan stuck in his car with his 3-month old baby

8:36 am

welki

can't EMS get his meds to him?

8:36 am

And I'd rather be stuck on an 'e' than on an 'L'.. that's for sure!

8:36 am

8:38 am

JBV

the entire east coast, crossy!

8:38 am

JBV

snow and hurricane strength winds not helping

8:38 am

welki

sheesh, jbv .. you'd think someone nearby would hear it and hike over with a diovan or whatever he needs

8:38 am

NonoNanette

from the carolinas north to boston, its a huge mess

8:39 am

m9f9l

I'll call my friend in NY in a bit. She should be ok though....

8:39 am

JBV

the tv station says they are making calls for him, waiting for an update

8:39 am

crosshair

and down south..hopefully it does not work its way up here,we are just getting a handle on the 7 feet we got from our last storm:/

8:40 am

Sam

More like Georgia to Maine. I'm in central NJ. Took our daughter to Newark Airport yesterday for her flight to Rome. Barely made it home before the storm got heavy. She's still in the airport.

8:40 am

72 Temple Owl

state troopers took food to a bus that was stranded. they needed to commandeer a front end loader, the road is gridlocked

8:40 am

JBV

oh, too bad for her, Sam -

8:42 am

MollyL

The DC area was spared this awful storm. I think the Snow Gods know we heard from them enough last year.

8:42 am

JBV

I'm near you Sam - East Brunswick

8:43 am

JBV

it looks like about two feet of snow here but I haven't been outside to measure - don't intend to

8:43 am

Sam

JBV: Plainsboro!

8:43 am

Nancy Boy

Gosh, I feel for you all. Rather lovely and bright in my little corner of London today..

8:43 am

JBV

might as well be the other side of the moon today - :)

8:44 am

JBV

well, London was hit last week - the airport story was incredible

8:44 am

Sam

I could get around in my 4WD truck if I wanted to, but I don't.

8:44 am

Soodle

Hello everybody. TO, I am very sorry for your loss.

8:44 am

MollyL

Hey Soodle

8:44 am

m9f9l

yesterday morning was sunny and warm here... very odd. I haven't looked outside today.. but pretty sure no snow. Just little piles here and there from a while back

8:44 am

NonoNanette

NB we will be watching your New Years parade here early new years day morning. Our local highschool band will be in it

8:45 am

Aloyisius

hi Soodle

8:45 am

JBV

oh, exciting, Nono! - anyone you know in the band?

8:45 am

Nancy Boy

oooh, cool, Nono! Long way to come just to play for us Brits.

8:46 am

NonoNanette

yes we know several of the kids

8:46 am

JBV

what a great experience for them

8:46 am

72 Temple Owl

ty soodle. i really must go out to shovel, won't last long in this wind but a little at the time

8:46 am

NonoNanette

it is exciting. They worked so hard to raise money for the trip

8:46 am

Shirlockc

sigh so JFK closed until 4, i was supposed to fly in today

8:46 am

JBV

take care, TO

8:46 am

EvaNadine

(((((((JESSE)))))))

8:46 am

MollyL

The high winds are just an insult to you all after all that snow.

8:46 am

Shirlockc

fight is at 2:30 so possible that i can still squeak into the airport

8:47 am

Nancy Boy

well I would, no place on earth like London! :)

8:47 am

JBV

where are you flying from shirl?

8:47 am

NonoNanette

its a large band to the cost is enormous but the community came together and they exceeded their goal

8:47 am

Nancy Boy

(((Eva))) hello! :)

8:47 am

MollyL

Good luck Shirl

8:47 am

EvaNadine

have you been released, hon? are you home??

8:47 am

Shirlockc

a pain as i have to go to the airport to find out if they fly and the airport is an hour away from my parents

8:47 am

Nancy Boy

Ohhh, I'm home alright :) cuddled up with the cats as we speak!

8:48 am

Mr Bob

Good morning

8:48 am

MollyL

Shirl, you can't call ahead to find out.

8:48 am

MollyL

Hi Mr. Bob

8:48 am

EvaNadine

oh yay!
(((gentle hugs)))

8:48 am

Shirlockc

i did, check web site too, both said flight still scheduled to go, instead of 2:20, it's 2:30

8:48 am

m9f9l

bet the cats went crazy when you got home

8:48 am

Shirlockc

which just says to me they're hoping jfk reopens on time

8:49 am

Shirlockc

who knows if they will -- jfk that is

8:49 am

JBV

but if JFK Is closed, they may have to redirect you - that's a real hassle

8:49 am

Nancy Boy

Mmm, it's brilliant! Just sleeping in our bed again was lovely...

8:49 am

JBV

I heard airlines were waiving the fees to change tickets -

8:49 am

Shirlockc

both jfk and laguardia closed

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

port authority says 4PM or 4:30 pm for the three

8:50 am

JBV

so happy to hear good news, NB - are you moving about OK, need any special care?

8:50 am

Nancy Boy

Crazy ain't a strong enough word, Mary ;) our little kitten especially; he did the full-on ankle attack

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

nice

8:50 am

m9f9l

awwww.. cute!

8:51 am

m9f9l

99 words and I am reduced to monkeying like crazy....

8:51 am

Nancy Boy

Ohhh, I'm quite fine, thanks JBV :) just moving slowly and trying not to feel disgusted with myself when I get out of breath moving across the room ;)

8:52 am

JBV

take it easy, NB, each day will be better

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

my doctor said two days in hospital equates to a week of recovery

8:54 am

MollyL

Baby steps NB, baby steps. Each day you will see improvement.

8:55 am

EvaNadine

so glad you are home and recovering, love. :)

8:55 am

Anniebrook

I just spoke to my son in law in CT...a power line fell across the lawn and hence, they lost their power in the house.

8:55 am

EvaNadine

was thinking of you over the weekend/holiday.

8:56 am

Anniebrook

NB, so happy you are home and in your own bed, I wish you a speedy recovery

8:56 am

JBV

oh, that's not good, Annie

8:56 am

m9f9l

yikes

8:56 am

Nancy Boy

thanks, JBV, Molly :) just got to get used to sitting around 'taking it easy'...not something I'm good at!

8:56 am

Nancy Boy

thanks, JBV, Molly :) just got to get used to sitting around 'taking it easy'...not something I'm good at!

8:56 am

Anniebrook

thanks goodness for cell phones

8:57 am

Nancy Boy

ooh, hiccup. and thanks, Eva :) got to admit, christmas in the hospital was especially grim. but all done now!

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

interesting poem. seems you are at a crossroads in all ways nb

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

some day you will realize that what you make of yourself is entirely up to you. *poof*

8:59 am

Aloyisius

brb.. fed ex just delivered our daughter's gift to us.. Apple TV (for netflix?).. am clueless, need to check it out..

8:59 am

JBV

NB, you are a young man who has faced a lifetime of challenges already, but I know you are strong and will be fine in every way - I have total confidence in you, just from knowing you here

9:00 am

Nancy Boy

wow, TO, way to stick THAT knife in and twist it. guess I'll be going.

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Well said, JBV.

9:00 am

Shirlockc

you can use the apple tv to hook up your internet streams to you TV

9:00 am

JBV

no, no NB stay with us

9:00 am

Shirlockc

so yes, you can stream netflix to your TV now

9:01 am

welki

i'm sure she didn't mean it the way it was read

9:01 am

JBV

being strong also means knowing what to listen to and what not

9:01 am

Scrabbler

It was meant as encouragement not as criticism. We ALL need to be reminded of what she said.

9:01 am

welki

more like, with time, you'll forge your own way, regardless of the past

9:01 am

Aloyisius

ty Shirlock... cooooooooool, no mail box thingy

9:02 am

Shirlockc

if you have a good internet connection, mine flakes out all the time

9:02 am

Nancy Boy

Nah, I think I'll go, JBV. If somebody's going to take the trouble to upset me I might as well make it worth their while. I think I'm gonna start cooking...*poof*

9:03 am

EvaNadine

(((JESSE)))

9:03 am

m9f9l

hmmm... what did I miss?

9:03 am

JBV

oh dear

9:04 am

m9f9l

(reading back... one doesn't usually end an encouragement by leaving? )

9:05 am

Mom

m9, TO was leaving anyway to go start shoveling her driveway

9:05 am

m9f9l

ah. Just odd altogether.

9:05 am

EvaNadine

im sure TO is a but out of it herself, as her father just passed...

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Some statements can be intereted in different ways depending on where one is at.

9:06 am

crosshair

huh..interesting..

9:06 am

bethn

TO buried her dad this week, i think nb's poem struck a nerve

9:06 am

MollyL

Another quote with the same sentiment...You are the only one who creates in your experienceâ€”no one else. Everything that comes to you comes by the power of your thought. If there are changes you would like to make, it will be of great value to begin telling a different storyâ€”not only about your body, but about all subjects that have been troubling to you. As you begin to positively focus, getting to feel so good about so many subjects, you will begin to feel the power that creates worlds flowing through you. ~ Abraham/Hicks

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy.

9:06 am

m9f9l

Yes. Following on the heels of the "interisting poem".. it did come across as censure.

9:06 am

crosshair

howdy scrabbs;)

9:07 am

bethn

Hi all!

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Hi Beth

9:07 am

MollyL

Hi Beth

9:07 am

crosshair

howdy bethn:))

9:07 am

Mom

some families are like NB's poem. Then it is up to the individual to either continue on or to break the cycle.

9:07 am

bethn

Hope everyone had a great christmas, and all of us east coasters made it thru the storm ok

9:08 am

crosshair

i thought this grid used to accept the aussie airline...:(

9:08 am

m9f9l

Coming from a background of depression.. to have someone tell you that what you are is entirely in just your hands .. is not encouraging. :-(

9:08 am

bethn

it takes the singular crossy

9:08 am

crosshair

well said mom

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Hm, I just noted the QU ti4. Amazing how I can block out certain ti4s while I focus on others.

9:08 am

bethn

but i dont believe there are 9 q words

9:09 am

Scrabbler

the airline minus final s is in the grid

9:09 am

m9f9l

QU ti4?

9:09 am

m9f9l

I don't believe there are 12 words off the 2nd column r!!

9:09 am

crosshair

my father is severly racist and homophobic to the extreme,i could of continued this or enjoy people for who they are..i chose the latter and as a result my son knows no racisim

9:10 am

Mom

Amen, Crossy

9:11 am

Mom

does the airline start with qu?

9:11 am

Shirlockc

good for you crossy -- my father is the same, i try very hard to be xenophillic

9:11 am

bethn

some of us try to do better than our parents could, others cannot break the shackles of their upbringing especially when it is harsh

9:11 am

bethn

yes mom

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, actually I think it does.

9:11 am

JBV

children reject their parents, that's life and to be expected, but none of us (I hope) can really understand what it means when a parent rejects a child

9:11 am

Shirlockc

or at least recognize my behavior for what it is

9:11 am

Mom

thanks Beth and Scrabbler

9:11 am

Scrabbler

I mean QA not QU

9:12 am

crosshair

acck! my list just lost all the words i have entered so far!! brb try a restart

9:12 am

m9f9l

exactly JBV. It's very traumatic.

9:12 am

crosshair

whew! they are back

9:12 am

JBV

my heart is broken for what NB has been going through

9:12 am

m9f9l

what is QA?

9:13 am

JBV

are you still on the phone crossy?

9:13 am

Mom

excellent Crossy

9:13 am

bethn

he has had a very rough row to hoe. I wish he lived somewhere closer, the babble community is very supportive, he would find many parent figures here who would love him as he is

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Qantas airlines

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I, like many of us here, see NB as our son.

9:14 am

m9f9l

He doesn't need a slew of "parent figures" .. he's said so. In fact I think that's kind of a scary thought!LOL

9:14 am

JBV

yes, a little scary, m9 :)

9:14 am

MollyL

Being rejected by parents is a hurt that many people never get over. It takes amazing resiliency and a sturdy sense of self-worth.

9:15 am

bethn

sorry m9, didnt mean to intrude

9:15 am

Mom

there would be many parent figures but he could have his pick

9:15 am

m9f9l

Yes. My naturopath a few years ago asked if I'd been in a major accident or had a major trauma when I was little... I couldn't think of any...

9:15 am

crosshair

i gave up jbv..2 hours on hold,i will just torrent the crap out of their software..they are lucky i do not plan on making 100 bootleg copies and handing them out to friends..:/

9:15 am

Mom

he wouldn't have to have them all

9:16 am

m9f9l

oh crossy... you were a trooper to hang on for that long!

9:17 am

crosshair

but ,lol,software woes pale to people woes.i am sure NB will prevail

9:17 am

Mom

M9, I have never heard of a naturopath until just now. Had to google it

9:17 am

JBV

me too crossy

9:17 am

m9f9l

eoe

9:17 am

JBV

I think resilience is a fascinating quality - so mysterious, yet so essential

9:17 am

m9f9l

oops... hand shifted.. that should have been "wow"

9:18 am

kje

ca6/21?

9:18 am

Mom

((KJE)) hello

9:18 am

JBV

think Las Vegas, kje

9:18 am

bethn

where you gamble, or small mexican house

9:19 am

m9f9l

Then my naturopath asked me if I had to choose someone to raise my children.. if I were gone.. would I want them to go to my mother (if she were alive).. and my first response was "no!"

9:19 am

crosshair

that whick does not defeat you or kill you,makes you stronger as iron is forged and tempered for strength..a untested blade will remain unknown..i love people who have been kicked around by life and kick it right back;)

9:19 am

kje

the last one

9:19 am

Scrabbler

A great book on resilience that I read a long time ago = The Resilient Self by Steven (?Stephen) Wolin. Fascinating.

9:20 am

bethn

have not listed yet, the house is the last one i have so far

9:20 am

m9f9l

I don't think that's necessarily true.

9:20 am

crosshair

lol,i do not need it scrabbs...life want to play rough?..bring it on.... lol

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Hi kje

9:20 am

kje

ty

9:21 am

JBV

yes, but the question is why, crossy? why do you have such a perspective and others do not? I find it very interesting

9:21 am

Scrabbler

The book helped me learn how I turned out ok whereas 2 sibs struggle

9:21 am

bichon

A snowy hellow to all. Hubby is out shovel and I'm babbling and feeling guilty. I will slowly get out there

9:21 am

m9f9l

exactly JBV...

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Don't let him work too hard, bichon.

9:21 am

JBV

I used to see it in children and families I worked with - some would strive and thrive, others in the same family just be overwhelmed

9:22 am

MollyL

I find that question interesting too JBV. Why are some able to find resiliency and others seem to always cave in?

9:22 am

m9f9l

I'm the youngest of 9......

9:22 am

m9f9l

I am a person who tends to get overwhelmed.

9:22 am

JBV

my husband had it - he was one of 13 - the only one (until a few years ago) who ever went to college and had a professional career

9:22 am

MollyL

I could discuss birth order for hours M9.

9:22 am

Scrabbler

You would like that book, especially the diagram showing the elements that create resilience...sense of humor, etc

9:23 am

JBV

people are wondering about me right now - I'm not overwhelmed, I'm just drawing on all my resources to deal with a very difficult situation

9:23 am

m9f9l

there's a lot of grey area between resiliency and "caving in"

9:23 am

Hi everyone, nice to see you all here, however this is the fourth day in a row I have come into chat and NB is either conducting the conversation or is the subject of it. Now while I do have sympathy for him and his "condition" surely there is a limit to how much and for how long we must be expected to give him........and it sticks in my throat when I hear how ungrateful he is about all the nurses turning in for work to nurse him over the festive period.......am sorry folks but I don't do self-pity......nor do I accept it from others!

9:23 am

i think,and this is just my thoughts jbv,i have faced death many times and in many ways,have been dragged right down without a dime and back up again,i have almost lost my family and i have saved them...and with that experience,standard run of the mill stuff does not agitate me or make me afraid as it would of done in the past

9:24 am

m9f9l

You taking sabbatical from family JBV?

9:24 am

JBV

sabbatical? no, m9, I recently lost my husband

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

same here. children with good parents were horribly troubled, w hile those with the worst parents were just the sweetest. i worked with juvenile criminals in a residential setting. and my snow is still in the driveway.

9:24 am

JBV

exactly, crossy, you know what is important

9:24 am

MollyL

Wow Flask. I'm not seeing self pity in NB's posts at all. And it moves me to see this community rally around him in his time of need.

9:24 am

m9f9l

WOW. This conversation has moved on actually..

9:24 am

crosshair

rule #1 jbv..do not sweat the small stuff

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

fortunately i looked back to see the thread

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, adversity makes many people much stronger and be able to not sweat the small stuff

9:25 am

m9f9l

OH! JBV... I was thinking of something else.. sorry!

9:25 am

m9f9l

(and I knew that too!)

9:26 am

JBV

oh, I see - you meant the family tree :)

9:26 am

JBV

actually that is moving along very nicely, too, m9

9:26 am

m9f9l

ahh.. I'm glad.

9:26 am

JBV

I found out my grandfather (who came to NYC in 1901) actually had a brother and sister already living here and I found their marriage certificates - 1890 and 1894 in NYC

9:26 am

m9f9l

Mine is stuck, stuck, stuck.

9:27 am

m9f9l

did he declare who he was 'receiving' him in America?

9:27 am

welki

<-- not interested in family tree

9:27 am

m9f9l

that's exciting.

9:27 am

bichon

I found out that my grandfather, born in the old country was a "bastard" cause his parents only had a religious wedding ceremony

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

i never actually meant to publicly air my grief since i know that in babble as in life there are those who wish you well and those who delight in your misery. so i do apologize - i mean it is th eholidays and all.

9:28 am

m9f9l

I'm extracting instead now... since I'm stuck on my own.

9:28 am

JBV

that's a good question, m9, I'll have to go back to the documents and look -

9:28 am

m9f9l

I would think that would go the other way.. a "bastard" for only a civil...

9:28 am

Boobear

clue for the second ac 7/32 please

9:28 am

Mom

TO, I wish you well, holidays or not. :-)

m9f9l

ah.. I thought maybe that's how you 'found' them...

9:29 am

welki

owl, you obviously didn't publicly air your grief ... i didn't even know until this morning. no apologies. the kerfuffle was because of what i think was a misinterpretation of your posts.

9:29 am

Boobear

9:30 am

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

well welk - let's say i am glad in this case i looked back. but ty 0 because i truly did not mean to do so

9:30 am

m9f9l

I've been doing census for Oaxaca, Mexico.. and I found it interesting that they noted whether someone had civil marriage, church marriage or both.

9:30 am

welki

so, ho ho ho .. i have the next two days off and my own variety of storm cluttering up my house :)

9:30 am

crosshair

lol,i have a tenant,on mothers allowance,through a paperwork snafu they were going to delay her cheque a month and she has a nursing baby.As it so happens i was on the construction crew that renovated our local administration building where all the cheques originate.i tossed mom and baby into my truck,drove down to the admin building went right down the hall to their board room,waltzed right in while a meeting was going on and said"excuse me,you guys have delayed this womans cheque,i will need 20 dollars from each of you so she can get food and formulae" lol what great fun! they cut her an emergency cheque right there dated for that day ..lol that is what i mean by not sweating.just doing what is right and what must be done and riding out the storm.worrying is like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon,you will be miserable and it will not affect the outcome one bit lool

9:30 am

crosshair

my father was ever so good at that kind of stuff. the stories i have heard over the last few days were amazing. it is sad to see someone experiencing the opposite not yet being able to move beyond it. the idea that i would comment on that just to comment and upset is quite telling

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

you should be. EVERYBODY has that one already. ;)

10:37 am

Flask1

thanks Haz.....

10:38 am

Scrabbler

It is taking me a lot of restraint to not buy the Nook Color e-reader.

10:39 am

bichon

what is the spice of life?

10:39 am

Haz1558

Do you want us to persuade you not to?

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

doren do you hate it when you are already home and have a snow day?

10:39 am

Scrabbler

***iety is the spice of life.

10:39 am

Aloyisius

bichon, it is not hum drum and boring, there is a mix of things

10:39 am

suefrad625

lots of choices bichon

10:40 am

Dorens

no, not at all... actually snow days bother me cause it takes away time from all the stuff i have to do anyway

10:40 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Haz. If I wait several months the price will decrease and improvements will be made. I must not be impulsive. But I love gadgets.

10:40 am

Dorens

scrab,, why the nook color? i was eying the new kindle,,, smaller and cheaper (and now I know I can donate to charity as well)

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

i am heading back up tomorrow or Wednesday

10:41 am

Scrabbler

Nook Color can do so much more--WiFi, internet, etc

10:41 am

bichon

ty Aloy for in 5

10:41 am

Aloyisius

brb.. mini break time

10:41 am

Aloyisius

oh, yvw bichon

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i heard tv s are a good buy toward the end of januray as models change

10:42 am

Haz1558

But don't you have a laptop already, Scrabbler? Does this do something different?

10:43 am

Nancy Boy

Scrabbs, the deciding factor for me would be which has the biggest e-book store linked to it?

10:43 am

72 Temple Owl

now haz don't go getting all practical. its new! it's task specific! it's flashy!

10:43 am

Scrabbler

I have a netbook, but NookColor has touchcontrol and Nook has more e-access than Kindle.

10:43 am

lbdawger

a il

10:43 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, in that case you should definitely get one

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Haz, silly girl. I don't NEED a Nook, I WANT a Nook.

10:44 am

suefrad625

I love the HP mini-notebooks

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

dawg!

10:44 am

Haz1558

Sorry! It's the practical side of me that refuses to die. The other thing is that I don't know what half these things are.

10:44 am

Flask1

lol

10:44 am

suefrad625

you can load the nook app on it

10:44 am

10:45 am

EvaNadine

loving husband bought me a Sony Dash for christmas.
i dont really have any need for it, but i just dont have the heart to tell him to take it back...

10:46 am

Haz1558

I'm such a dinosaur.

10:46 am

Flask1

Hi EvaN...whats a Sony Dash?

10:46 am

suefrad625

the Sony Galaxy is great

10:46 am

Haz1558

Thank you for asking, Flask. I was wondering the same thing.

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds nice though i don't know what it is

10:47 am

rururocks

sa8?

10:47 am

EvaNadine

its a "personal internet viewer"
basically, you can load a bunch of different apps, so it will tell you all about the weather, the traffic, the news -- whatever you load into it.

10:47 am

Flask1

Oh am clueless about things like that.....never heard of them!

10:47 am

bichon

as 8?

10:47 am

Haz1558

sa8 - a devil worshipper?

10:48 am

suefrad625

sa8, believes in saten

10:48 am

suefrad625

satan

10:48 am

rururocks

weird it won't take satan then.. thanks haz

10:48 am

Haz1558

as8 - think of a donkey squashing a picnic pest.

10:48 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruru.

10:49 am

EvaNadine

he is more of the techie, so he thinks those are the greatest gifts ever.
as for me, i have my cellphone, which has internet access. i have a computer. i dont really see the point for another gadget, just for gadgets sake.

but i think he would be really disappointed if i admitted that i dont really want it.

10:49 am

Flask1

thanx EvaN...

10:49 am

m9f9l

ah.. but that's a proper name ru!

10:50 am

10:50 am

Flask1

lol....

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

OMG i just gor haz's clue lol

10:50 am

10:51 am

m9f9l

10:51 am

Haz1558

Well done, TO. Poor wee pest.

10:52 am

Michnick

10:55 am

Michnick

OH! It was gorgeous and my daughter looked just like a princess.

10:55 am

m9f9l

awww... sweet!

10:56 am

EvaNadine

we bought ourselves a special ornament.
surprisingly, neither of our mothers gave us one!

but his mother had hand-embroidered stockings for everyone in his family, so now i have my very own. :)

10:56 am

Michnick

That is nice Eva, every first should be special.

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

10:56 am

m9f9l

10:57 am

m9f9l

10:58 am

Michnick

A good friend and her son took around 500 pics, but we haven't gotten the professional pictures or the video yet.

10:59 am

m9f9l

oh good... those non-professional ones are sometimes the best!

10:59 am

m9f9l

But then I'm a big fan of candids

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

just found the octopus arm

11:00 am

Michnick

She kind of made some people annoyed but she got some gorgeous shots. She came and hung out at the house while we were all dressing, getting made up, etc. I love those pics the best!!

11:00 am

Aloyisius

11:00 am

EvaNadine

11:00 am

Anniebrook

11:01 am

bichon

I didn't get anything, which is what I expected, so I am happy

11:01 am

m9f9l

For me it's not so much about the presents... it's the food!LOL

11:01 am

Aloyisius

yes, Annie.. it starts with the camp home

11:01 am

Haz1558

One of eight, Annie.

11:01 am

Michnick

My Chanuka present was a new son-in-law and his wonderful family. I couldn't be happier (oh, and the pearls I just HAD to have to match my wedding outfit.....)

11:01 am

m9f9l

Tim and Gage got me an indoor remote control helicopter! ROFL

11:01 am

Anniebrook

Sandieangel

Hi can anyone clue nme the no9 plz? Completely stuck

11:02 am

m9f9l

11:02 am

Haz1558

11:02 am

Scrabbler

TY for ca5 and te8 clues, but I missed as8.

11:02 am

Flask1

I have one MollyL......and love it!

11:02 am

MollyL

Sandie...not a Picasso

11:02 am

Haz1558

as8 - relatiing to the sound of words. Or think of a donkey sitting on top of a picnic pest.

11:02 am

EvaNadine

i didnt get the #1 thing on my list (a particular pair of booth, that apparently have a 6-8 week wait on them) but i did get many things i love.
including a kitchenaid mixer!
YAY!

11:03 am

bichon

11:03 am

Sandieangel

Wow! thanks for that one.

11:03 am

m9f9l

11:03 am

MollyL

Ooo, a Kitchenaid Mixer. Very cool.

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

m9f9l

11:03 am

EvaNadine

72 Temple Owl

11:03 am

Michnick

Thanks!!

11:03 am

EvaNadine

11:04 am

Haz1558

ma8 - looks like a cross between a spider and one of those Spanish headgear things.

11:04 am

m9f9l

When Aiden gets married... she'll be taking her kitchenaid with her. I shall miss it

11:04 am

m9f9l

hers is red too

11:05 am

EvaNadine

dear husband thought it was insane to ask for a $300 mixer, but i had to explain about all the possible attachments, and that it can be more than just a mixer, and that it will last a lifetime!

11:05 am

EvaNadine

oh, how many more christmas cookie i shall be able to bake next year. :D

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

absolutely, start with good stuff.

11:05 am

MollyL

What kind of boots Eva?

11:05 am

Scrabbler

TY for no8 and as8

11:05 am

Michnick

My mother has her KitchenAid that she got as engagement present in 1949. She doesn't use it much anymore, but it works!

11:05 am

m9f9l

you'll use it more than the dash probably!

11:06 am

Haz1558

I've had my Kenwood Mixer for 28 years and it's still going strong.

11:06 am

m9f9l

They're great for bread...

11:06 am

EvaNadine

most definitely more than the Dash...heh

11:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scrabbler.

11:06 am

EvaNadine

i was already flipping through the recipes, and the first thing i said is "i wanna bake some bread!"

11:07 am

Michnick

I killed a Kenwood in less than 14 years (I make whole wheat Challah a lot, but still...) I now have an Electrolux/Magic Mill. I am buying my daughter a BOsch.

11:07 am

m9f9l

oh yeah! I found a few good recipes for this year!

11:07 am

EvaNadine

Molly: these boots
http://tinyurl.com/25fnzwo

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

yes the cookie aspect is the most compelling for me

11:07 am

Haz1558

Last year's Christmas present was a Magimix processor and it has more than earned its keep already. I can relate to THOSE gadgets.

11:07 am

m9f9l

those are cute Eva!

11:08 am

Michnick

I love my Magimix. Daughter is getting a Braun, but it's a gift so I cannot say a word.

11:08 am

m9f9l

I want a bosch

11:08 am

MollyL

Those are very nice Eva. You don't often see a cushioned insole in a pair of boots.

11:08 am

periwinkle

hello all

11:08 am

dianedecoder

great conversation going on... just had to add something. I've had my Kenwood Chef for 45 years, and all I've had to replace is the plug end !!

11:08 am

Haz1558

Hooray for Kenwoods!

11:08 am

Haz1558

Hello, peri.

11:08 am

EvaNadine

i have a tough time with boots because i have a wider-than-wide calf.
theyre expensive, but i see them as an investment piece that would be in my closet for YEARS.

11:09 am

periwinkle

a very nice man stopped his truck and asked if we needed help shoveling. I had already done the front walk. He is doing the driveweay and in front of the garage for only $0!

11:09 am

m9f9l

oh great... Gage wants me to drive him to his work. He's convinced that he has a workplace that really exists... it's next to the star ingredients store...

11:09 am

Michnick

Do you bake heavy doughs Diane? If it's mostly cakes the Kenwood is the best, but I've replaced the motor, the gears, and it just wasn't worth it anymore.

11:09 am

EvaNadine

may buy them for myself, but hubby thinks that i will lose some weight + not need such a wide shaft in the boot soon.

11:09 am

dianedecoder

it has the heavier stainless steel bowl... I wish things lasted like that nowadays !!

11:09 am

rururocks

ta9?

11:09 am

m9f9l

nice Peri!!

11:09 am

Michnick

Gotta go check on meatloaf, BRB

11:10 am

dianedecoder

yes... I have the bread hook, meat grinder, juicer, etc. I admit that for bread now, I just do my dough in the breadmaker, and form my own.

11:10 am

Haz1558

ta9 - same structure as a word that means to tempt, to place something attractive within reach, but change the final consonant for another.

11:10 am

Aloyisius

hi peri

11:10 am

Haz1558

The word ends with badly spelled opposite of dark.

11:10 am

PinnyPoppins

hi all! happy holidays

11:10 am

Haz1558

Hello, Pinny.

11:11 am

dianedecoder

My girls have always borrowed it for Christmas cookies, but now 2 of them have Kitchenaids.... I'll bet my Kenwood outlasts them !!

11:11 am

PinnyPoppins

Hi Haz!

11:11 am

Aloyisius

hi Pinny

11:11 am

rururocks

thank you haz

11:11 am

Haz1558

Or, t plus a picnic pest combined with the Wonderland Girl, one letter different at the end.

11:11 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruru, I see you 've got it.

11:11 am

dianedecoder

forgot... have the blender on it too.

11:12 am

Anniebrook

Thank you, Hazel, Major Cluegiver!

11:12 am

PinnyPoppins

Hi Aloyisius

11:12 am

Haz1558

Major Cluegiver sounds like a rank in the army!

11:13 am

Haz1558

It's better than General Dogsbody, all the same.

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

ok, must attack plow leavings before they solidify. oh right, i've been saying that for hours now :)

11:13 am

Anniebrook

LOL, No army stint for you, you are needed here at the front of Babble

11:13 am

ivesy3

ce 7/44 plz

11:14 am

Anniebrook

Owl, Stay here and relax...you can always shovel

11:14 am

EvaNadine

ok, off to forage for some food.
coworkers went out for some Pho, which i want SO badly, but that place only accepts cash, of which i have NONE.

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

one word you will never see here: an4/4 plus sa4/4. we are very pro sa4/4

11:14 am

PinnyPoppins

i can't believe your colleagues wouldn't shout you some pho!

11:14 am

Haz1558

ce7/44 - start with the coin, then add Miss Gardner (Sinatra fame) but change the final vowel.

11:15 am

EvaNadine

oh, im sure they would if i asked, but i dont like asking or help with that...
i can charge lunch on my card here in the office.

11:15 am

ivesy3

tyvm haz, glad im old enough to know her name lol

11:15 am

Anniebrook

going to check on baking potatoes

11:15 am

PinnyPoppins

ok - fair enough eva :)

11:15 am

Haz1558

I am as well, ivesy - some of the younger ones would be wondering what I was on about.

11:17 am

Scrabbler

TY for ta9

11:17 am

EvaNadine

i have just been CRAVING pho with this weather, but hubby doesnt like it and this place near work only just opened up. will have to go next time!

11:18 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scrabbler.

11:18 am

MollyL

Younger ones who have not been educated in the beauty of the on-screen Ms. Gardener have lost out on something special.

11:18 am

Haz1558

She was rather beautiful, wasn't she?

11:18 am

PinnyPoppins

has everyone had a decent holiday?

11:18 am

Haz1558

Holiday? I'm like a wet rag.

11:19 am

PinnyPoppins

porquoi, Haz?

11:19 am

MollyL

I drove to work today practically singing that the TO-DO list was TO-DONE!!!

11:20 am

Haz1558

It just takes quite a bit of energy to cater/look after people.

11:20 am

Scrabbler

BBS, must start filling in new schedule book with Jan-Mar work schedule + appts.

11:20 am

Soodle

LOL Haz... your choice of words is very appropriate here. To date - 3 burst pipes, resulting in 3 separate floods. My whole house is awash with wet rags!

11:20 am

PinnyPoppins

i guess you need a holiday to get over this one...

11:20 am

Haz1558

And you've to try to make it look effortless as well.

11:21 am

Haz1558

Oh, Soodle, horrible to have to deal with that. I will complain no more!

11:21 am

Flask1

lol....yer right Haz.....

11:22 am

Flask1

Am not able to run after folk now, however I just get tired thinking about it and planning who should be doing what!!!

11:22 am

Haz1558

It's my own fault. I hate offers of help in the kitchen so family know to leave me to it and I end up wondering how people who run hotels/bed and breakfast places cope.

11:23 am

Haz1558

Having said all that, the house is tidy again, washing is done and ironed, nobody got poisoned and we had no floods.

11:23 am

scouser

Hello all. Happy Christmas etc. I am stuck on the last qu8 word. I have 4 quan and 4 quar what is next>

11:23 am

PinnyPoppins

haha - good result

11:24 am

Haz1558

The last qu8 word combines a liquid measure with the sort of thing you'd have on bathroom/kitchen floor and wall.

11:25 am

scouser

Aha! thanks - statistics strikes again !

11:25 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, scouser.

Hi Scouser!

11:34 am

Scrabbler

Back again. I didn't get the satan clue earlier. Any help?

11:35 am

Haz1558

Just add three letters to satan to make it a person with allegiance to him.

11:36 am

Scrabbler

I don't see satan.

11:36 am

Scrabbler

Devil, lucifer...

11:36 am

Flask1

Aye Scouser I still have a long way to go here.....so I better not move yet!

11:36 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, literally, the name you're quoting plus three letters.

11:37 am

Flask1

Haz could you clue the first 2 qu8 for me please?

11:37 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I guess I have been well-trained to avoid Satan!

11:37 am

Boobear

clue for ce 7/44

11:38 am

Scrabbler

penny + It's ***n calling. <----cosmetics company

11:38 am

Haz1558

The first qu8/55 - remember Mary who invented the mini-skirt - use her name and run it into what you use to cover bathroom/kitchen floors and walls.

11:38 am

Boobear

ty

11:38 am

Haz1558

The second qu8 = Start with a liquid measure and add a seabird.

11:39 am

Haz1558

Or, add a consonant to the end of the piece divided into four (qu7)

11:39 am

Flask1

thanx Haz!

11:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Flask.

11:39 am

EvaNadine

so, i may have missed out on getting Pho today, but at least i still got soup on a cold day -- old fashioned tomato soup + grilled cheese sammich! YAY!

11:40 am

Scrabbler

grilled cheese--yummy

11:40 am

Haz1558

I have to ask, what is Pho?

11:40 am

EvaNadine

Pho is a vietnamese noodle soup. you can select what type of meat, if any, you want in it. then it comes with bean sprouts, lime wedges, hot sauce + stuff on the side that you can add in...
SO TASTY.

11:41 am

Haz1558

That makes sense now, EvaN. No potatoes? You can't call it a proper meal...

11:42 am

EvaNadine

dont noodles usually take the place of potatoes?

11:42 am

MollyL

It seems to me that noodles are to Asian food as potatoes are to European/American food.

11:42 am

Scrabbler

144/140 now. Enough til tonight when I am home from work.

11:42 am

Boobear

clue for cl 7 please

11:42 am

Haz1558

Yes, for poor souls who can't grow potatoes.

11:42 am

Flask1

Nah not really, not in my house anyway!

11:43 am

Haz1558

cl7 - the noise that's made when you fall down the stairs or something.

11:43 am

MollyL

I had to laugh when I asked Soodle what constituted a proper Irish Christmas dinner and she listed three kinds of potatoes!

11:43 am

EvaNadine

i cant think of many (or any!) dishes that would have noodles AND potatoes.
the closest i can think of is gnocchi, which really is a "noodle" made out of potato!

11:44 am

Boobear

ty HAZ

11:44 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Boo.

11:46 am

Haz1558

Okay, the talk of potatoes reminds me that I'll need to think about food again. I'll head towards the kitchen and wish you all the best with the grid. Bye for now!

my family is dragging me into the 21st century. they got me an ipad. i am bemused

3:53 pm

first one is capitalized, frog, second one is not, plus enable (our dictionary) is a quirky thing of wonder

3:54 pm

frogface

makes me wonder!!!

3:54 pm

redturtlehead

An Ipad is a great gift. Oh how I wish. I recieved some nice shirts and torrone, food item.

3:54 pm

bethn

you will be amazed at what is acceptable, and what is not. some foreign words work, some english ones dont

3:55 pm

always look for both brit and yank spelings they usually both work

3:56 pm

MollyL

I am encouraging my family to make use of Amazon's wish list. You don't have to purchase the items there, but it gives family and friends an idea of what you might REALLY like for Christmas or your birthday.

3:56 pm

bethn

bye frog

3:57 pm

bethn

i always feel funny asking. I asked for one of the first things ever this year, and i have been married forever

3:57 pm

bethn

i am always happy when someone tells me what they would like though...

3:59 pm

bethn

somehow i expect them to just "know" me after all this time. pretty silly seeing as they dont get that i would like the dirty dishes in the dishwasher

4:00 pm

MollyL

I hear you Beth. I think I'm the easiest person in the world to buy for. But somehow, my Sister is the only one who hits the mark every time.

4:01 pm

redturtlehead

I'm also very happy with the shirts and torrone. You can not get good torrone in Florida.

4:01 pm

redturtlehead

My sister is pretty stressed, so being hosted for 5 days is plenty!

4:01 pm

redturtlehead

We have had several 4 star meals. Beef wellington, Ham, stuffed flounder. tonight is homemade pizza.

4:02 pm

MollyL

Wow Red, excellent food.

4:02 pm

redturtlehead

My brother in law. and portabello Mushroom soup which was heavenly.

4:03 pm

redturtlehead

Oh and I forgot the Christmas Eve spread...

4:03 pm

bethn

4:03 pm

4:04 pm

4:05 pm

bethn

4:05 pm

redturtlehead

4:09 pm

Flask1

4:09 pm

Shirlockc

4:09 pm

redturtlehead

Oh WHT. I did my sister and BILs driveway as a Holiday gift. I found it a novelty but it was not an easy one.

4:09 pm

wht

Shirl, that sounds so unfair.

4:09 pm

wht

Red, yes the novelty does wear off after a while.

4:09 pm

Shirlockc

i understand if the plane had to come from JFK to pick up peeps but it was already HERE!!!

4:09 pm

redturtlehead

I can imagine.

4:10 pm
