3:24 am

shoolessdwarf

morning all

3:25 am

scouser

morning all. Anyone want any clues before I go do some hoovering through the deep cat-fur rug to see if I can locate the carpet.

3:27 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Shoolessdwarf :-)

3:28 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Scouser, only just started so i am fine for now, but thanks :-)

3:28 am

scouser

PS zoozzoom I have printed off your super statement about those who are blessed and pinned it up on the wall by the computer. Thank you.

3:29 am

zoozzoom

:-)..you are more than welcome, Scouser!

3:31 am

rbud

hi hi, could use a couple of nudges for the two lone E words...not having any luck so far.

3:32 am

scouser

Just calculated that it is 52 years since I went IOW on train to Ryde and down to Shanklin Chine which was just a rough track then down the cliffs.

3:33 am

scouser

the ea is like end of life without the d; the el is french far away (it is a legal term)

3:33 am

rbud

thanks so much!

3:34 am

Soodle

LOL you beat me to it, Scouser. I was going to say the EA 4 word was what somebody with a lisp does with their food....

3:34 am

Soodle

BTW - Hi everybody :-)

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Thanks for the `E`s

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rbud & Soodle :-)

zoozzoom

DFM??..where?

3:36 am

rbud

hiya, ruby! :)

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Scouser, i went to Shanklin chine last year..beautiful place..although getting pricey to see it now.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

and ZZOOZZ!!!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I got mixed up, how unusual!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

and first two words were scouser's e's, ty

3:37 am

zoozzoom

oops PB for me pl5/14

3:38 am

Soodle

I wonder did many people go to the PB when the grid changed from yesterdays to todays? Usually they all say FL 4/8. (I know this because I often trawl for cloos

3:38 am

zoozzoom

I`ll have a look..LOl

3:39 am

scouser

zoozzoom: I bet it is pricey. We just had to scramble down. We walked for miles and miles in those days.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

that's v funny, soodles

3:39 am

scouser

yes the PB must have been crowded this morning.

3:39 am

Soodle

Hows 'Himself', Rubes?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

they probably all had late-night ice cream

3:39 am

zoozzoom

6 people, Soodle..Trif was the first to say they were all in the PB..LOL

3:39 am

rubyfoo

charming, I'm sure.....hahah

3:40 am

Soodle

LOL!! Serves them right... all those whiz-kids...Its terrifying how fast they finish...

3:40 am

scouser

ruby - how is the non-patient today?

3:40 am

rubyfoo

obsessed with "what is the next meal?" and wanting to drive

3:41 am

zoozzoom

I have postcards from like 1890 to 160 of sandown and a few from shanklin, Scouser, Lots of dirt tracks then..lol

3:41 am

hydra

Morning, scouser! Hi Soodle, ruby and zoom.

3:41 am

scouser

since the PB is full of all sorts of goodies it doesn't seem to be a PB at all?

3:41 am

Soodle

Hello Hydra :-)

3:41 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Hydra :-)

3:41 am

rubyfoo

did you find fossils there, scouser and zzoozz?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

hello hydra

3:41 am

scouser

Hello Hydra - finally !! I have finished am just chattering.

3:42 am

zoozzoom

Lots of fossils here, Ruby..i am one..LOl..but yes you can always find fossils if you look close enough.

3:42 am

hydra

I've only just started. Have just emailed you-know-who to tell her I'm not trekking to Devon tomorrow. (Sorry, folks, long story.)

3:42 am

scouser

Ruby - I was a teenager then and fossils didn't feature much on my horizon. However, if I went there now ......... I would have to be restrained I assure you.

3:43 am

scouser

Ruby - I was a teenager then and fossils didn't feature much on my horizon. However, if I went there now ......... I would have to be restrained I assure you.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like hunters'-heaven

3:43 am

Soodle

A fossillised Zoozzoom - very rare indeed!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I have given husband a big collection of fossils, hoping that he would be interested enough to classify, etc.

3:43 am

scouser

OK Hydra but when we do go there we will have to have a side-track to Dorset for fossil-hunting !

3:44 am

zoozzoom

Indeed, Soodle LOL..although i do feel like that when i first get up in the mornings..my lower back kills..lol

3:44 am

scouser

Hey ruby that is a great idea. I have got some boxes of stones in the garage that need sorting too. I am a pack-rat I suspect.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

I'll just have the carriers take me down the cliff....hahah

3:45 am

scouser

We will have to come up with a latinized or graeco name for the fossils zoozzoom and scouser.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

and old ruby!

3:45 am

Soodle

I'm just back after voting in the General Election. Its certain that we will have a change of government, but I can't help thinking 'Same circus - different clowns'!

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Always is, soodle..nothing ever seems to change..they are all corrupt over here..line there pockets..sod the rest...sorry rant over.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I started him off with two: one which I found years ago in th Alpes Maritime, high u, an amonite; and the other, I found in an art gallery in Montreux; I was still working then so could afford it. It's a sea fan from China, probably 150 million years old, in shale, and very large with high relief and all the detail

3:47 am

scouser

I can't do politics in the morning ..... or the evening .... or anytime outside of that either. Local politics even worse.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

now I just buy him odds and ends including some from Dorset via the Internet

3:48 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Scouser.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

ata gave me the site

3:48 am

scouser

ruby - I was given a lovely little trilobite - you can see all the detail with a hand-lens. Fascinating.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

politics -- bah humbus

3:48 am

rubyfoo

bug*

3:49 am

scouser

re politics: I am part of a local history preservation group (Friends of Williamson's tunnels) and local politics looms large all the time. aaaaaaaaaaargh

3:49 am

rubyfoo

ooph, I just noticed that amonite is a phantom. Phew!

3:49 am

zoozzoom

I do love Baltic Amber with critters inside them.

3:49 am

Soodle

I just noticed that Phantom is a phantom!

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I have a necklace and earrings of Baltic amber with many insects

3:49 am

zoozzoom

LOL

3:49 am

rubyfoo

oh yeah, soodle, too phunny

3:50 am

scouser

I wonder how many such creatures were in the Amber Room in St Petersburg?

3:50 am

scouser

swell fantom Soodle

3:51 am

scouser

You there hydra - frantically babbling I suspect?

3:52 am

zoozzoom

I bought a balticamber from ebay a few years ago..the bug looked fantastic on the ebay page, so i bought it, when it arrived the bit of amber was so small..i did not realize it was going to be microscopic size..lol

3:53 am

scouser

ruby - ammonite is only a phantom if you put one m istead of 2

3:53 am

rubyfoo

(I didn't know how to spell it -- blushing)

3:53 am

scouser

zoo - does it live in one of those boxes with a lens in the lid?

3:53 am

hydra

Sorry, phone call. Had to go downstairs. Yes, scouser, we will certainly go fossil-hunting.

3:54 am

zoozzoom

No lens lid i`m afraid a little round plastic container nothing more.

3:54 am

scouser

sorry ruby - it is a phonetic word anyway culled from the Egyptian I expect.

3:54 am

hydra

Only found 33 words so far. Must start work now. See you later!

3:54 am

zoozzoom

mi4/5 has been in the grid three days in a row now..lol

3:54 am

rubyfoo

speaking of Egypt, I just found a nifty ca6/27, on my own, for a change

3:56 am

zoozzoom

thanks, Ruby :-)

3:56 am

scouser

My Enable grouse for today: de4/8 can also be a de5 which is present in the grid but rejected. Grrr

3:56 am

scouser

yes Ruby and there is a related ca5/18 too

3:56 am

Soodle

Well done Rubes! I better go and do a bit of work.. I will be dipping in and out...Have a lovely day, everybody. Poof

3:57 am

rubyfoo

[[soodle}}

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Nice to see you, Soodle, take care.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

transliterated again, I guess!

3:58 am

scouser

I think there are no babblets in this grid - but currency strikes again.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Ooh the new series of Benidorm is on tonight.. YaY

3:59 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, no visible money here

3:59 am

rubyfoo

do they show Detroit 187 in the UK?

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Not heard of it, Ruby?

4:00 am

frogface

gooooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx

4:00 am

rubyfoo

it's a 10-part series with Micael Imperioli (the nephew on Sopranos), and it's wonderful

4:00 am

scouser

Hello fellow frog.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

yay, froggie

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Frog :-)

4:00 am

frogface

hello scouser ruby and zooo!!!!! xxxxx how are we all and how is the grid behaving??

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Scouser how many letters is the currency word please?

4:01 am

scouser

4

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Grid seems a little bit disjointed to me..so many phantoms.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Thank you.

4:01 am

frogface

deal

4:01 am

frogface

omg sorry!!!!! pb

4:02 am

zoozzoom

got that one, Frog.

4:02 am

frogface

bad froggie!!!

4:02 am

scouser

zoo there are two such words both 4

4:02 am

frogface

lmao - thought my messages were starting with a full stop - just noticed its a bit of dirt on the screen!!!

4:02 am

zoozzoom

LOL..silly bugger.

4:03 am

scouser

it's a crowded PB today as all the early swap-overs said their own f word!

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Scouser we are talking the `O` currency word not money?

4:04 am

scouser

I must go and do carpet-expedition (i.e. hoover off the cat-fur and find the floor)

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Scouser.

4:04 am

scouser

zoo - two L words for currency

4:04 am

rubyfoo

cat fur is softer than carpet!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

when I groom Ruby, I put the fur outside for the birds

4:05 am

zoozzoom

ahh..i see..thanks

4:05 am

scouser

It may be but carpet is beige and cat is black

4:05 am

scouser

mostly

4:05 am

frogface

dealt

4:05 am

rubyfoo

oh, and BTW, saw a new bird yesterday, a kind of Fringilla!!

4:05 am

frogface

omg i give up!!!!!!! sooooo sorry

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear..looks like frog is going to be in the PB ALL day :-)

4:06 am

rubyfoo

does anybody know birds?

4:06 am

scouser

I have never thought of such an ecologically useful thing to do with the fur. Good one.

4:06 am

frogface

yes - i was on the wine last night and have a bit of a hangover - dont know what im doint lol

4:07 am

rubyfoo

I'm not sure, but you'd think it would be soft and warm for the bird babies

4:07 am

scouser

ruby - what was it like?

4:07 am

scouser

the bird I mean

4:07 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:07 am

scouser

frog - that is devotion to Babble - doing it with a hangover.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

in French it is called a pinson du nord. It is brilliant orange, black and white and there were 4 of them. They are ground feeders and slightly crested. POreviously we had pinson des arbres, similar, but pink-breasted and grey.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

that was my "exciting event" of the week!

4:09 am

jean1953

Good morning everyone sneaking in whilst a work to have a quick look at the grid:) hope everyone well

4:09 am

zoozzoom

they must of looked beautiful, Ruby..must google.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Jean :-)

4:10 am

frogface

hiya jean xxx

4:10 am

scouser

ruby - perhaps they were cross-bills - from the pine-forests. Apparently they have been seen quite far south this year - usually they are up in Scotland.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

and the verdiers are back in their chartreuse spring plumage. I think they are green finches....

4:10 am

frogface

omg there are so many phantom words here today!!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

no, I am sure of the identification as we feed them right outside the kitchen window and I can see them up close without frightening them

4:11 am

rubyfoo

and keep my bird guide very handy!

4:11 am

scouser

the verdiers wheeze in the trees (see poet, too!) outside my window. (two-barred crossbills have lots of white and black on wings)

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I've never seen a cross bill. What do they eat? Perhaps they don't eat my catering.....

4:13 am

scouser

two-barred crossbill comes from northern russia. Pine-seeds in particular. They have special bill hence name.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I've seen pix of them, but never an actual. Since we've been here, I've added more than 20 birds that weren't on my American life-list

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I'm a totally passive bird-watcher

4:14 am

rubyfoo

and they provide dog entertainment for Ruby

4:15 am

scouser

I live in town suburb, so not many species here but we do have woodpeckers and the greenfinches.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

do the green finches have black and white bars of their shoulders?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

on*

4:16 am

rubyfoo

yay, half

4:16 am

scouser

ruby the french name pinson - does that describe "pincers"? (pine- and fir-cones of course)

4:16 am

rubyfoo

my trick is putting the feeder right outside a window

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I don't know anything about the naming of species. You can imagine how hard it is, American names, French names and Latin names. It's like with flowers but at least flowers hold still

4:17 am

rubyfoo

and butterflies are impossible for me.

4:18 am

scouser

black and white bars on greenish bird might be siskin not greenfinch. big difference in song from wheezy green ones.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

our garden is designed to be animal friendly - no pesticides, a fish pond, buddleias, lots of fruit trees

4:18 am

scouser

hydra has a good garden for animals and birds too.

4:19 am

scouser

Now I really do have to go hoover. Bye all.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I am useless at recognizing bird sounds. The only one I know is one particular "merle" (a drab sort of medium-sized black bird with a yellow beak). He always sings his lovely heart out in the same place and I was finally able to put the song with the bird

4:20 am

rubyfoo

the others all sound like clicks and electrical buzzes to me.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

{{scouser}} very nice chatting with you, as usual

4:26 am

zoozzoom

How come "Latin" is not excepted?

4:27 am

Dachef

proper noun.....add an 'o'....

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Ahh, you are kind, thank you, Dachef :-)

4:28 am

frogface

ok ive decided i dont like this grid. Im goind for a smoke and will talk to you all later xxx *poof*

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Bye for now, Frog.

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Oh my word, i have never seen a Mannequin like your icon, Dachef..lol

4:32 am

Dachef

last ten and I'm flummoxed beyond any reasonable definition of the word. Is there a list floating about anywhere?

4:32 am

zoozzoom

not sure..i will check.

4:32 am

zoozzoom

DFM has one.

4:32 am

Dachef

nm, found one.

4:33 am

zoozzoom

np.

4:33 am

Dachef

re the icon: not sure where that came from. Found the photo on my Pc one day when I was clearing some files.

4:34 am

zoozzoom

Scary but cool at the same time..lol

4:35 am

Dachef

you know, thinking about it, it might have been stolen unsurreptitiously from another babbler. Can't remember!

4:36 am

zoozzoom

you are down to 10..i have slowed down with 84 more to find..not a good sign.

4:54 am

MollyL

Good morning everyone. Happy Friday. As usual, good ole VolleyMomDee has a list.

4:55 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Molly..noticed DFM has one too, but not listing yet. 67 left.

4:56 am

MollyL

Morning Zoom. I thought Dachef asked for a list.

4:57 am

zoozzoom

thats correct, so i checked DFM as he had one yesterday..i let Dachef know, then went back to babbling :-)

4:58 am

MollyL

Okay, I'll go back to lurking now.

5:28 am

zoozzoom

55 more to find, taking a break.

Aloyisius

PB party time

7:02 am

zoozzoom

lol

7:02 am

Kaplan the Magne

that's funny.

7:03 am

MollyL

See, I think a seasoned Babble player would try fl4 before saying it in chat.

7:03 am

Aloyisius

nah, they were racing to be first

7:04 am

MollyL

Oh yeah, I forget the competitive nature at fl4 time.

7:04 am

Mom

thanks Zoozz and Molly

7:05 am

Aloyisius

that's for sure.. if I am up at fl4 time, I hide chat as it is soooo distracting

7:05 am

zoozzoom

yw :-)

7:05 am

Aloyisius

maybe some people can process all the hints flying around, but I can't.. I like to find stuff on my own until I'm "stumped"

7:06 am

MollyL

Hey Mom, have you ever heard of/made tomato pie?

7:06 am

zoozzoom

I cannot go as fast as the babblers at fl4 time..i have 47 left now and struggling badly.

7:07 am

Mom

oh no, Molly that sounds disgusting

7:08 am

MollyL

It's sliced tomatoes, onions, crumbled bacon, basil and oregano, that you put a cheese mixture over and bake in a pie shell. Someone told me it's pretty good. I'll keep it in mind when my tomatoes start ripening.

7:08 am

zoozzoom

Oh gosh th4 sounds devine.

7:09 am

zoozzoom

sounds like a type of quiche.

7:10 am

Mom

my sweetie said he wou;d definitely put that on the list ..... of what not to make. :-)

7:10 am

Mom

be back in a bit , time to make breakfast

7:10 am

zoozzoom

lol

7:10 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy your brekkie, Mom.

7:11 am

Aloyisius

thinking about that pie.. must have to bake a while so it isn't soupy

7:11 am

gdine

I had tomato pie years and years ago when we lived in SC. If you like tomatoes at all it is YUMMY!

7:11 am

Aloyisius

hi gdine.. guess the tomatoes are peeled before baking

7:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Gdine :-)

7:11 am

MollyL

You're supposed to core the tomatoes before slicing and then pat them down with paper towels to absorb the excess water.

7:12 am

zoozzoom

Could be an eggy cheese mixture?

7:12 am

Aloyisius

ah, that makes sense

7:12 am

gdine

Hey Z.....I should be out walking but this is so much more fun. 8^)

7:12 am

MollyL

Gdine, thanks. I had a feeling that was a southern recipe.

7:13 am

gdine

I think the tomato pie I tasted had sour cream...I don't remember any cheese.

7:13 am

zoozzoom

Well it was fun, i am finding todays grid sooo hard.

7:14 am

o-o

It seemed harder before I finished.

7:14 am

gdine

Just googled tomato pie. Lots of pizza stuff shows up but you also get several variations of pie....

7:14 am

Aloyisius

holler if you'd like a clue, zooz

7:15 am

zoozzoom

LOL..good point, BR :-)

7:15 am

MollyL

A lot of people I asked about it said "you mean pizza"?

7:15 am

Aloyisius

MollyL

Wow, if that f and i were reversed in the first column, we would have a very racy word.

7:22 am

Aloyisius

7:22 am

MollyL

I bet the fresh stuff is awesome.

I had to go back and look at the fl4 to see how many people said it before they realized it was in the grid.

10:11 am

NonoNanette

the other site that timber and i are addicted to just requires ' or " to send words to chat instead of the guess box

I'm always embarrassed when I put things in chog that aren't words; either by mistake or by lousy typing skills

11:33 am

lexophile

i'm an awful typist, so many of the odd words i end up getting are totally accidental... but i'll take 'em anyway!

what i hate is when you just come in a lurk a bit to grab a few works cause you do not have much time,and i dump some 11 letter word into the chat

I'm stuck at 52 left. Time to go vacuum some more.

the dictionary on here is different from the one used on other games i play

11:50 am

Nef

you are correct, cathy. I didn't see an easy grid this week

11:50 am

hootowl

you must have missed - what was it? - last mnth when all the puzzles for about a week were bad, bad, bad

11:50 am

Nef

Now, off to vacuum! BBL

11:51 am

lexophile

i agree about the babble week, cathy.... i know there won't be big juicy grids everyday, but i'd like to get in at least one a week where i can find words for at least 20 minutes without too many stops

11:52 am

cathy22w

yeah... i feel like it's been a luxury to get a string of 10 words at the start of the grid before pausing...lol

11:52 am

i generally log on every day except sunday and find words here and there throughout the day

i stand on my head of course;)

11:53 am

lexophile

but it's so frustrating when i log back on with fresh eyes and just stare at the board and see nada... all the time knowing that there are gobs more words hiding from me

11:53 am

hootowl

2 - it takes time to collect all the babblets - strange words that show up all the time

11:54 am

cathy22w

lol...and you see the chat fly by and people saying ''i've only got 2 until fireworks'

11:54 am

i am getting better about recognizing babblets, hoot... i just still don't know enuff of them yet

11:54 am

3 - monkeying works! I've found that even in other languages, there are certain rules followed

11:55 am

i've been playing since about 2004 and still don't know the babblets. lol

11:55 am

i used to show up at the flip once in a while,but it got depressing watching people like gremlinn finish a 200 word grid in 17 minutes;(

11:56 am

lexophile

i find it tiresome to switch back and forth from the lists... i'm quite a lazy babbler

11:56 am

lexophile

lol, cathy!

11:56 am

hootowl

I don't expect you to listen to me but it's what has worked for me. And there are some bablets that ai always miss anyway!

11:56 am

cathy22w

i never use the lists for the same reason

11:56 am

lexophile

gremlinn is a machine... used to play and humiliate us on wordsplay all the time... never see him anymore

11:57 am

cathy22w

thanks, hootowl... i went through a time of being really serious about the lists - originally there were no lists. but i prefer to complain that i can't find the words. lol

11:57 am

hootowl

does it here too but don't know when I saw him last

11:57 am

MollyL

Kap...go here for the upside down text...http://www.sevenwires.com/play/
UpsideDownLetters.html

11:57 am

lexophile

appreciate the advice hoot! i will get better eventually (cuz i WILL keep playing!)

11:57 am

crosshair

i think that southern term for margerine that starts with an o is in here but i cannot for the life of me remember how to spell it

11:57 am

hootowl

hey the important thing is to have fun!

11:58 am

lexophile

no, crossy, it requires 2 o's

11:58 am

hootowl

ol 2 vowels

11:58 am

lexophile

....and fun, it is, hoot!

11:59 am

crosshair

11:59 am

lexophile

i am such a word nerd... have been forever... my college roomies made fun of me cuz i read the dictionary for pleasure

11:59 am

hootowl

hey if nothing else you get to chat with a bunch of nice people from all over the world!

11:59 am

cathy22w

i've seen people saying things in code, as well. nbt? pb? no idea. but when i erroneously put a word in the chat, i got a big PB from someone. I felt admonished, even though I had no idea what they were saying.

11:59 am

lexophile

now you're really showing off, crossy!

12:00 pm

hootowl

no blank tiles, no blank ststa

12:00 pm

crosshair

try and wring that out of a standard keyboard lool

12:00 pm

hootowl

pb is penaly box for entering real words into chat

12:00 pm

hootowl

like I just did

12:00 pm

lexophile

that's why i don't often chat, cathy... some peeps are not very forgiving of offenses... someone even got really snotty with me about some word usage

12:00 pm

cathy22w

lol

12:00 pm

hootowl

Yhese are not rules of the game. They were started by players

12:01 pm

crosshair

i am here to have fun..period

12:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

PB- penalty box. Where the food is. It's good natured though. We have all been there.

12:01 pm

cathy22w

yeah...same here. i joined when it was a lot more light hearted, but some people are madly serious about it all.

12:01 pm

crosshair

and i keep it well stocked with commestables

12:01 pm

lexophile

most PB talk is very good natured... but there are a few folks who take this game a little too seriously...

12:02 pm

cathy22w

and thanks for the explanations, hootowl. now at least i know what they're saying.

12:02 pm

crosshair

and vodka!

12:02 pm

Erda

commestables????

12:02 pm

lexophile

i wd love to be banished to a well-stocked PB right now... sigh

12:02 pm

crosshair

i brew a bacon vodka cathy...would bring a tear to yer eye;)

12:02 pm

hootowl

ask anytime and I'll help if I can.

12:02 pm

cathy22w

bacon vodka? now that sounds....interesting.

12:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have not encountered people being mean- it is difficult to read tone into a chog post though. I find it goodnatured on here, and every now and then there is a big kerfuffle over some mischogerstaanding.

12:03 pm

Vicuna

All those rules about PB and stuff are really there to keep things fun, though - It ruins the game for everyone else if people list words into the chat log. So it's meant to be a good-natured reminder.

12:03 pm

lexophile

bacon vodka?!?!? now i've heard everything.... you are a swinophile, crossy!

12:03 pm

hootowl

And anyone who makes you uncomfortable is best avoided. I don't take made-up rules seriously

12:03 pm

crosshair

erda... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse
/comestible

12:03 pm

BettyAnne

No blank ststa? I'm curious.

12:04 pm

Vicuna

No blank stats, BettyAnne.

12:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's also fun to "catch." Like today, 6 people went into the PB at the fl4.

12:04 pm

Erda

I know that, crossy

12:04 pm

cathy22w

glad you're asking, bettyanne

12:04 pm

Vicuna

It's a milestone some people use to get a feeling of progress! It means you have at least one word from every word length in the stats box below.

12:04 pm

cathy22w

what do they mean by no blank tiles?

12:04 pm

Erda

but commestables is funnier

12:04 pm

MollyL

And then you can get your six year old self out and say KAPLAN SAID A WOOOOORRRRRRD.

12:04 pm

crosshair

i just spelt it wrong is all

12:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The other day, Crossy (who else? )was going on and on about pork, which was in the grid.

12:05 pm

Vicuna

And no blank tile is another progress marker - at least one word from each letter in the tile stats box below the grid.

12:05 pm

crosshair

i spent all day in the pb...

12:05 pm

mklein

Great word, comestables

12:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

...eating pigs.

12:05 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks all but I'm still confused as to what that means. I know what nbt means. Thanks.

12:05 pm

crosshair

just me and my bacon weave sammicehs...

12:06 pm

lexophile

quit talkin' bout food, crossy! my stomach is rumbling!

12:06 pm

crosshair

sorry again lex

12:06 pm

lexophile

but i do looooooove bacon, too!

12:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

some people use the chog more personally, so there is more sensitivity.

12:07 pm

lexophile

even tho i'm usually a lurker, i love to read chat... there are some beautiful friendships here

12:08 pm

crosshair

yes,crossy is shy and bashful as well

12:08 pm

lexophile

...and i was dumb-struck the other day when i read someone's profile, and there was a tribute to NancyBoy... knew he had malaria, but had no idea... :-(

12:08 pm

crosshair

all you evil women scare cwossy;)

12:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I WANNA KNOW HOW TO TYPE UPSIDE DOWN!

12:09 pm

hootowl

ok - time for me to off to the store and prepare for verse 2 of our unending storms. At least it's too warm for snow....

12:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

NancyBoy is missed.

12:09 pm

MollyL

Ahahahahahahaha...shy and bashful....ahahahahahaha. Kap, I posted the link to where you go to type upside down. Look back in the chog.

12:09 pm

lexophile

stay warm hoot! thx for all the advice

12:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what time?

12:10 pm

crosshair

indeed,poor kid,so young and such a tragic set of circumstances that lead to his passing

12:10 pm

MollyL

Not sure. Just Google "type upside down". There are several sites. You type in your text, copy it and paste it here. It's easy.

12:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And learning about it here- first noticing he was missing, then the slow awareness- such a 21st century way to experience tragedy

12:11 pm

i am down to 41 but struggling

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

I have a small tech question, if somebody has the time to e-mail me: I need to "lock down" my personal files and don't know how to do it.

12:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

28. Yikes.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

I've invited husband's daughter to visit, and I don't want her to see my saved correspondence

12:49 pm

lilliann

sorry, ruby, i'm computor illiterate as i told u :(((

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

do I need to download to an exterior drive and hide it?

12:50 pm

Magyk

I believe you can password protect it ruby

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

tell me how, pls

12:50 pm

Magyk

are they saved in your email or as documents on your computer?

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know how to do anything except type! can't even change my icon altho I've rcvd directions several times

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

in e-mail files under people's names

12:51 pm

Kazzer99

ruby - my hubby has suggested that you should make her log in as a different user = than she cant see your mail. Also password protect anything you save on the c drive

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

mostly in yahoo

12:52 pm

Kazzer99

dont let her have your yahoo password

12:52 pm

crosshair

ruby,why do you want to hide files first of all,if it is to hide them from someone sharing your puter,just make a seperate profile for them

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

right now it's set so I don't have to log in at all, just hit a key. I don't want to have to log in myself, just hide those "delicate" files

12:52 pm

lilliann

she'd need your password ruby

12:52 pm

Magyk

that's a good idea Kazzer.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

so I would just log out of yahoo every day?

12:53 pm

crosshair

i run 3 profiles on each of my puters

12:53 pm

lilliann

bbl, want my eggy bread!

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

unfortunately, my password is too obvious, both for wanadoo and yahoo

12:53 pm

Kazzer99

i take it you know your password Ruby? If you do when she is there log out

12:53 pm

Kazzer99

yumy eggy bread - i love it

12:53 pm

crosshair

but that is my 2 cents worth..i must head to work,i am sure you will figure it out just fine..tc all and happy babbling

12:54 pm

crosshair

poof!

12:54 pm

Kazzer99

it is very easy to change it = i did it yesterday to get onto my flickr account

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

save some eggy bread for me (French toast?)

12:54 pm

lilliann

so do i kazzer, i like it soaked in for a while

12:54 pm

lilliann

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

naughty lilliann

12:56 pm

Magyk

thank you!

12:56 pm

stidmama

ruby, did you have your question answered well enough? depending on your system, you can create a guest login, but you can't "hide" files from within your own login

12:56 pm

Kazzer99

bye lill

12:56 pm

stidmama

(((lilliann))) have a lovely evening!

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

so then I had better remove them to an exterior thingie

12:57 pm

Kazzer99

it would make sense Ruby

12:57 pm

lilliann

repoof! i'll be back to finish my last 51 stid when i've stuffed my face!! lol

12:57 pm

Magyk

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

go magyk go!

12:58 pm

lilliann

poof again!!

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

soodle calls her "the weapon"

12:58 pm

stidmama

are these files that you need to have available, ruby? how computer competent is she?

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

they are just my correspondence files which I would rather she not read and she is much more computer competent (younger) than I

12:59 pm

Kazzer99

does she have to use the computer? I'd lock it down so she couldnt even use it

12:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Phantom elephant in the room.

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

no, I don't need them available

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

I can't do that as she always has access when she visits

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

and her father won't let her use his

1:00 pm

stidmama

ruby, it is considerably "safer" then to create a guest login without admin privileges, and just make do with having to login when you want to use it.

1:00 pm

Kazzer99

one way would be to reemail them back to your friends then delete them all and them make sure you epty the delted items file - then when she's gone your friends can email them back to you so you sill have a copy

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

and the guess room is adjacent to my studio

1:01 pm

stidmama

*confused look* HE insists she gets to use YOUR computer, but won't let her use his???

1:01 pm

MollyL

Oh ho, wait, wait, wait. It's HIS daughter and he won't let her use HIS computer but YOU have to let her use YOURS?

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

guess who's coming to dinner....

1:01 pm

stidmama

snap, Molly!

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

as Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin would say "It's complicated!"

1:02 pm

stidmama

ruby, my BEST advice is that she have her own login, which locks her out of being able to search the compter's drives for hidden and redundant (and deleted but still available) files.

1:02 pm

Kazzer99

sounds it Ruby - and soo rude

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

husband doesn't like for anyone to touch his computer

1:03 pm

Kazzer99

would she snoop

1:03 pm

stidmama

simply moving the files to another drive (unless you know how to be sure they are truly gone) isn't a guarantee.

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

yes, kaz

1:03 pm

stidmama

do you have a PC or another system?

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

is there a way to put the files onto a disk like I do with photographs?

1:04 pm

Kazzer99

hmm in that case delete the lot and make sure you empty the deleted items file

1:05 pm

wildcat17

ruby do you have a flash drive?

1:05 pm

Kazzer99

on a lighter note - my phantom is camelot

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know. Where would it be if I have one?

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

this grid is full of phantoms

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

I have 'til the 17th to solve this problem

1:06 pm

wildcat17

it's an external piece. you can buy one for under $20. it's like a removable hard drive - you can save anything you want on it as long as it fits

1:06 pm

wildcat17

they come in different sizes

1:07 pm

Magyk

fireworks!

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

I guess I could move all the "sensitive" letters to an innocuously named file

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

congrats, magyk!!!!

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

flash drive, huh, sounds perfect!

1:07 pm

Kazzer99

do you have any removable storage - e.g. usb plug in flash thingie? I do - they arnt too expensive you can get cheap ones on line and then you can move all the private stuff onto it and store it on your bra - I have an Helo Kitty on that is only 3 cm long

1:07 pm

wildcat17

if you cannot find one in stores you can buy online

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

and I have a friend here who could help me do it

1:08 pm

MollyL

Ruby, for future documents, have someone show you how to password protect them. Those of the sensitive nature anyway.

1:08 pm

Kazzer99

go for it lady

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

perfect, I'll just keep it in my bathroom. Then she can snoop all she likes

1:09 pm

wildcat17

just make sure once you transfer your files that you actually delete them from your computer

1:09 pm

MollyL

And personally, if I had the least notion that someone using my computer was going to dig around in my files, I wouldn't let them use it. Period.

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

even here in the sticks, we have a computer store and maybe there'll be a clerk who speaks English.....

1:09 pm

sadie52

Hello All :)

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

1:09 pm

Magyk

any clues needed before I take off to do yoga?

1:09 pm

find a picture online and show it to the clerk

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

another good idea -- oh, to be young again!

ChampFit

hey red! No lickety again today?

1:25 pm

redturtlehead

i dunno? I am not there yet. how are you Champ.

1:26 pm

ChampFit

good thanks! you?

1:27 pm

redturtlehead

doing well. Still waiting on my short sale! I keep forgetting I have an offer out on a home!

1:28 pm

ChampFit

I'm sorry! I wish the banks were quicker with them. Every day the house sits there costs them money, so really, why not make it easier?

1:29 pm

redturtlehead

Well, It is a lovely place for someone like me. HOA does all the outside work and even insures the outside. Walk in shower so when I get old... and guarded with a person gate.

1:29 pm

redturtlehead

I have only been waiting for 4 weeks, so far!

1:30 pm

ChampFit

But you don't have a time limit or anything, right?

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

well the offer stands for 60 days. then I can re-offer or move on. I am not sure what to do if it goes than long.

1:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps that is what they are counting on? hi all

1:32 pm

ChampFit

If it goes less than 3 months I'll be surprised. So you just need to decide how much you want it. Do you have to get out of where you live now?

1:32 pm

ChampFit

Hi T.O.

1:32 pm

redturtlehead

i think actually it just takes the banks a long time with short sales.

1:33 pm

redturtlehead

I can always extend my lease. Lately most short sales are closing in this area in about 2.5-3 months, so...

1:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

did the appraiser come out?

1:33 pm

redturtlehead

hello temple!

1:34 pm

ChampFit

Well yeah, because once they decide to go ahead, it's however long it takes your lender to get the deal done. It's the waiting to find that out that's torture!

1:34 pm

redturtlehead

No No appraiser. I need the Bank to sign off on the sellers acceptance of the offer. It is a very different hting, i discovered than just buying a regular home.

1:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh. this is a condo?

1:34 pm

redturtlehead

yes, and my lender is on board.

1:35 pm

redturtlehead

it is a town home. similar to a condo, but apparently classified a little different.

1:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

sounds as if you own it but not the common space.

1:35 pm

ChampFit

Hopefully you'll hear something soon, now that it's already been a month.

1:35 pm

redturtlehead

I very much like the place.

1:36 pm

redturtlehead

Oh essentially I own it and the little quarter acre. It's an odd place in Florida, there is a section of townhomes, a section of small family homes and then several multimillion dollar homes around the lake.

1:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

well we all wish you the best with it, it is a pain, waiting

1:37 pm

ChampFit

I for one have the hardest time being patient!

1:37 pm

redturtlehead

I dont really mind. I just don't want to find out I waited 3 months to find out their bank is going to reject it!!!!!

1:37 pm

redturtlehead

How are you TO? Any more bad weather?

1:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

we had rain, then 60 degrees,now cold front with very high inds. not good

1:38 pm

redturtlehead

That sounds like March weather and also really unpleasant. Winds do me in!

1:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

trees are in a very precarious state from storms and last week's high winds

1:42 pm

stidmama

1:42 pm

ChampFit

1:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:48 pm

stidmama

1:48 pm

sprite

*grins* New one for me too, I got it from an earlier clue.

1:48 pm

stidmama

okay, one more for NBT. *looking* I want to try to avoid more fish.

1:49 pm

stidmama

how are you sprite? I miss you! It SNOWED here. I keep trying to get the boys to go take photos before it melts in the sunlight today. The roads are too icy for us to get out, so I had to skip school.

1:50 pm

sprite

am good, trying to be economic in how I spend my energy... sometimes failing... but that is the learning process!
No fun missing school, but staying indoors can be nice for a day or two ;)

1:50 pm

stidmama

we had over 8 inches yesterday, if the stuff the day before hadn't melted we'd be over a foot.

1:51 pm

Jindigo

i am at a dead standstill with 66 to go - is there a list of clues anywhere?

1:51 pm

stidmama

indeed yes, with this paper hanging over my head... but not what I actually wanted. Today was going to be really fun.

1:51 pm

stidmama

go jindigo go!

1:51 pm

sprite

hi Jindigo, I really don't know. You could try volleymomdee or Jacula.

1:51 pm

Jindigo

thanks Sprite! ((Stidmama))

1:52 pm

stidmama

1:53 pm

stidmama

1:55 pm

sprite

va8 sucks

1:55 pm

stidmama

1:55 pm

sprite

1:55 pm

stidmama

*wicked grad student mama look*

1:55 pm

stidmama

LOL sprite!

1:56 pm

Nef

I love my vacuum, stid; it's a Rainbow (which cost an arm and a leg) and has a water tank for the dirt. Sometimes it's so full of crud that it 's shocking to think that my house has that much dirt in it

1:56 pm

stidmama

okay, I want to stay, but feel compelled to be productive. Sprite, think of me, toiling away for the glory of a mediocre product.... but the best I can produce with my current understandings.

1:56 pm

stidmama

oh those rainbows ARE lovely.

1:57 pm

stidmama

then you should say you are RAINBOWING your home. It's much more poetic!

1:57 pm

Angelsong

2:35 pm

Nef

*I* never had a problem with them; but my older sister often got her hands smacked by the rulers (she had such a mouth!)

2:35 pm

cosdem

Nef

OMG, cos! How terrible!

2:36 pm

Golly - you transatlantic Babblers have really had a tough winter. Spring has arrived here... Today was positively balmy here.

4:28 pm

dianedecoder

Oh man.... enough is enough, hey ivesy ? They got quite a snowfall on the west coast here in Canada. Victoria got about 6 inches of heavy snow.

4:31 pm

Glantarell

TY Dorens - all Zs done

4:31 pm

lilliann

we had snow the other day but nowt to talk about, certainly nowt like it was before and after christmas

4:32 pm

Glantarell

I'm amazed - I live in the hills and every year since 2001 we have had snow overnight on 23rd/24th Feb and this year it didn't hapen

4:33 pm

lilliann

spooky glant.i hope it's a good omen though

4:33 pm

dianedecoder

we're temporarily in Arizona, but rain forecast over the weekend and snow in higher areas..... Yikes !

4:34 pm

Soodle

Diane - any update on 'the artefact'?

4:34 pm

dianedecoder

thanks for the hint on the z words, Dorens :-)

4:35 pm

dianedecoder

not yet Soodle, but being as it's small, it can't be a wig holder. I think Krista is waiting for reply from her friend who would understand the inscription.... she is sure it is in a Slavic language

4:37 pm

Soodle

Be sure to keep us informed, Diane.... My money's on some sort of religeous contraption!

4:38 pm

dianedecoder

I still think it has something to do with incense, (yet no holes in it,) ...or burial ashes or ???

4:38 pm

dianedecoder

Oh it has some religious connection because of the fish and the crosses....

4:39 pm

4:44 pm

dianedecoder

soodle.... do you have a notepad on your computer ?? If so, you just copy and paste the list onto it.

4:45 pm

dianedecoder

then you can make it very slim and it just fits along side of your grid

4:45 pm

Soodle

Ooo... complications.. I don't know if I have a notepad..... I am the ultimate dinosaur of computer-land.

4:45 pm

Glantarell

the other e will give me NBT

4:48 pm

4:54 pm

Glantarell

in m edieval times people used a t***y stick which would have a number of marks on it - then they would cut the stick and each have half. when the money was paid they both brouight =the stick halves together to be sure the amount was correct

4:55 pm

Soodle

Wow! Thanks for that Glan. Thats so interesting... I love learning where words came from.

4:55 pm

Glantarell

so do I soodle

4:56 pm

Soodle

As I said - general election here today. ****ymen will feature hugely in the count. Now I know where the word comes from :-)

4:57 pm

lilliann

i love learning words, and what they mean but as my memory is shot to pieces i forget them as soon as i learn them!! how i remember words on here i don't know, but i forget babblets!!

4:57 pm

Soodle

Do you speak Welsh, Glan?

4:57 pm

Glantarell

you have a general elecion today we have a referendum next week, to see if the people of wales want our assembly givernment to have lawmaking powers like the scottish parliament

4:57 pm

Glantarell

yes i speak welsh

4:57 pm

lilliann

saying that, i don't remember half the words on here..lol

4:58 pm

Glantarell

and i often see welsh words in the grid LOL

4:58 pm

Soodle

And do many everyday words come from Welsh?

4:58 pm

Glantarell

today I see allt - which means hillside or slope

4:58 pm

lilliann

my family on my dad's side were welsh glant, but i don't know whether they all spoke welsh?

4:58 pm

Glantarell

do i go to the PB for saying a word if the dictionary doesn;t recognise it LOL

4:59 pm

Glantarell

It probably depends which part of Wales they came form Lilliann

4:59 pm

lilliann

and my dad's mam's side...nearly forgot!!

4:59 pm

lilliann

south glant

4:59 pm

Soodle

Whenever I'm in Scotland, I can recognise many words from Gaelic.. but Welsh has me totally bamboozled!

4:59 pm

Glantarell

the further west and north you go in Wales, the more people speak Welsh

5:00 pm

MollyL

Wow it smells good in here. I fixed boy-o hamburgers and onion rings for dinner. My salad was very tasty too. : D

5:00 pm

lilliann

that's where they lived but not sure if that's where they all originate...i need to research

5:00 pm

Glantarell

Gaelic pronuinciation has nme bamboozled

5:00 pm

Glantarell

what's a boy- hamburger?

5:00 pm

Soodle

Whats Boy-0 burgers, Ms L?

5:01 pm

lilliann

when i use to go visit my grandparents,most of the tv programmes were always in welsh si i couldn't understand!

5:01 pm

lilliann

very difficult lange to learn

5:01 pm

lilliann

sounds good molly

5:01 pm

Glantarell

They wouldn't have watched Welsh TV if they couldn;t seak the language - we've always had English TV channels here too

5:01 pm

periwinkle

I am guessing Molly is referring to a person, ie. son, spouse, etc

5:02 pm

Soodle

Its amazing that celtic languages differ so much...

5:02 pm

Glantarell

I think there are a lot of similarities but maybe they are more obvious when you hear the spken word

5:03 pm

Glantarell

Welsh was once the language of the whole of Britain and I see remnants on the map - Henley is a corruption of Hen Llys which means old court

5:04 pm

lilliann

my nan and grandad never spoke welsh, always english

5:04 pm

Glantarell

I can definitely see bits of Breton which look familiar

5:05 pm

lilliann

i know yackey da! i know i haven't spelt it right, i wouldn't know how too

5:05 pm

Glantarell

first language welsh speakers have a funny attitude - i have a good friend who is a welsh speaker but because our first few conversations were in english, that's the langueg we use - if our first conversations had been in |Welsh then we would probably be suing that language to talk

5:05 pm

Glantarell

iechyd dda - it means ';good health'

5:06 pm

Glantarell

my typing is appalling tonight - in too much of a rush

5:06 pm

lilliann

ahh, thanks for telling me the right spelling

5:06 pm

Soodle

iechyd dda - Yackey da..... Right!!!!

5:07 pm

Glantarell

we ahve some lovely idioms - the one for heavy rain is 'it's raning withches and broomsticks'

5:07 pm

EvaNadine

hrm. hubby seems to have forgotten that hes making dinner tonight. perhaps when, a half hour ago, i said "im not hungry right now" he thought i meant EVER.

5:07 pm

lilliann

i actually think they couldn't speak welsh, glant, as my dad was bought up in wales and then england, he knew a few words, but why weren't we taught it when we were growing up and visiting them in wales...seems strange if they knew welsh!!

5:08 pm

Soodle

The placename thing is the same here, Glan... most Irish place-names come from the Irish. Any place name beginning with Bally (and there must be gazillions) is derived from Baile, which means town.

5:08 pm

Glantarell

i'm thinking your grandparents may have spoken it though if they watched welsh TV

5:09 pm

Glantarell

we have 360 places beginning with Llan - which has a meaning which encompasses 'parish' or 'place of the church'

5:09 pm

Soodle

EvaN... Its time to alert Hubby.....

5:09 pm

Glantarell

so most if not all of them have the saint's name as the second part

5:10 pm

lilliann

i like the longest town word, can't say it properly tho glant

5:10 pm

Glantarell

i can say it when i see it but couln;t remember it all

5:11 pm

Glantarell

i was brought up about 5 miles form there in Llangefni

5:11 pm

lilliann

i'm the same..lol

5:11 pm

lilliann

oh really...cool

5:11 pm

Soodle

Ah, begob, the old saint's names.... this country is awash with saints names. (Not too many saints these days, but the memories obviously linger on...)

5:11 pm

lilliann

and you can't remember it??? mmmm...lol

5:12 pm

Glantarell

all the locals just call it 'LlanfairPG'

5:12 pm

lilliann

tell, hin to start cooking eva!

5:12 pm

Soodle

PB for Glan :-)

5:13 pm

Glantarell

oh, darn it! - but. there's no S in the grid!Q

5:13 pm

lilliann

i don't know whether my great grandparents spoke welsh as i never met them

5:13 pm

lilliann

lol, doesn't let you off though glant!! nice try!!!lol

5:14 pm

Glantarell

off to see if stid left any chocolate orange in there

5:15 pm

Soodle

Eva, when I was first married, we had a 'sharing of household duties' policy. Whoever was home from work first began to cook dinner. Which was fine, till I found him hiding round the corner from our home, waiting for me to pass by, thereby being home first, thereby having to start dinner! Be warned!!

5:15 pm

EvaNadine

...and i just put chicken nuggets in the oven. so much for having dinner made for me...heh

5:17 pm

lilliann

my nan use to feed me and my brother mushy peas with everything glant, well, apart from puddings! that was runny jelly and then a raw carrot before bed so we could see how to get to the toilet, luckily enough the inside one although they also had an outside one!

5:17 pm

EvaNadine

soodle -- i am usually in charge of dinner. and usually i dont mind it.
but tonight, thanks to the Metro being -- well, the Metro, my commute home took an extra hour and i only barely beat him home. i told him flat out i wasnt cooking anything and he had to make dinner.

5:17 pm

Glantarell

not keen on the runny jelly LOL

5:17 pm

Glantarell

love the mushy peas

5:17 pm

EvaNadine

<--- is a cranky gal tonight.

5:18 pm

lilliann

i HATE MUSHY PEAS NOW!!!

5:18 pm

lilliann

orry for shouting! :)

5:18 pm

Soodle

-----< didn't last with domestic-chore-avoiding hubby!!!!

5:18 pm

Glantarell

an extra hour's commute is enough to make anyone cranky eva

5:18 pm

lilliann

*sorry

5:19 pm

lilliann

that's bad soodle.i would have parked further and stopped there until he got hungry!

5:19 pm

MollyL

Fresh peas are so delicious. It is an abomination to cook them until they are mushy. And don't get me started on canned peas. Gross.

5:19 pm

Soodle

----< Cannot abide mushy peas, but quite fond of chicken nuggets!

5:20 pm

EvaNadine

molly -- "mushy peas" are different from just cooking them til they mushy. hard to explain...

5:20 pm

MollyL

Eva, I head a tree went down in front of a Metro train and wondered if that would affect your commute. Sounds like a good night to order out.

5:20 pm

Glantarell

Mushy peas are not overcooked peas - they are dried peas, soaked overnight then cooked until a mush - quite different texture and flavour and a modern variation of 'pease pudding'

5:21 pm

lilliann

i like pease pudding!

5:22 pm

lilliann

but my nan's mushy peas were out of a tin as she couldn't cook, bless her!!

5:22 pm

Soodle

Squirming at thought of mushy peas... they look like regurgitated ...green stuff.

5:22 pm

MollyL

Oh that is just gross. People actually like that?

5:22 pm

EvaNadine

molly, they were saying it was a utility pole. they were single-tracking trains at the other end of the red line. but of course, it makes life miserable for ALL who ride.

5:22 pm

Glantarell

ROFL - they are extra nice with mint sauce on top

5:22 pm

lilliann

mushy peas are also a veg enjoyed from where i live,up north

5:22 pm

EvaNadine

molly -- speaking as a picky eater, i LIKE em!

5:22 pm

MollyL

Sounds like Eva could use a hot bath and an attentive husband.

5:23 pm

Patxxx

Good for you Glantarell. I shall now have to go put some dried peas to soak so that I can have some tomorrow. As a vegetable with a fresh butcher's prok pie. I can smell them already. Love 'em.

5:23 pm

Soodle

Eva, Ms L had a pic of the fallen tree..... very very scary.

5:23 pm

Glantarell

yes, north of England they eat 'pie and peas' and in Wales they eat 'faggots and peas' - faggots having a different meaning on this side of the pond

5:23 pm

MollyL

Since Eva is cranky, we will give her a pass on the PB for all the mo4y's. : P

5:24 pm

Soodle

Sheesh, Moll (ok, send me to the PB, I don't care) couldn't we all do with a hot bath and an attentive husband....

5:24 pm

lilliann

no, molly, i hate them and think, i had to eat them three times a day with every meal, including breakfast, for 6 weeks when my brother and i would visit!!!

5:24 pm

Glantarell

i'd rather a hot shower!

5:24 pm

lilliann

and fish, chips and mushy peas glant

5:24 pm

Glantarell

oh, yum!

5:24 pm

MollyL

http://tinyurl.com/6ffy2n6 Not the fallen tree we were speaking of, but one in my neighborhood.

5:24 pm

Soodle

Or maybe a cold shower.........

5:25 pm

Glantarell

ROFLMAO

5:26 pm

Glantarell

62 left and i am thoroughly stuck - might have to go to bed

5:26 pm

Patxxx

Thanks Glantarell, now I am off to soak some dried peas so that I can have them mushy with fresh made butcher's pork pie. Or even on their own with mint sauce. Then I am off to bed because this grid is driving me nuts!

5:27 pm

lilliann

is that pork pie with jelly ontop pat?

5:27 pm

MollyL

I have Carlee's bagel recipe working, so there will be fresh baked goodies here in the morning.

5:27 pm

Glantarell

Night Pat!

5:27 pm

Soodle

Now, see what you did, Glan? Patxxx was happily lurking, and you have forced her into a mushy pea situation. Shame on you!

5:27 pm

Glantarell

I've neer made bagels - do you poach them before baking?

5:27 pm

MollyL

Soodle, it has been my experience that the phrase "attentive husband" is an oxymoron.

5:28 pm

lilliann

yes, shame on you glant!! lol

5:28 pm

EvaNadine

nuggets are ready. yay. *yawn*

5:28 pm

Soodle

You mean like 'Army Intelligence', Moll?

5:28 pm

Mine too MsL - after the first year or so - and i've had 3 to test the theory

The power went out here for about 15-20 minutes and I was alone in the house. luckily I like candles. I lit one in the dinning room, living, kitchen and my bedroom. I also had an electric candle.

5:29 pm

5:30 pm

5:31 pm

MollyL

I have a whole "power outage" kit. Batteries, candles, battery operated fans for the summer, a battery powered radio. Can you tell I've been through this a few times. Liquor is a must for power outages. All the rest is fluff.

5:31 pm

Soodle

Ms L... Liquor is a must. Period.

5:32 pm

periwinkle

I need to make up at least two kits. one for downstaris and one for upstairs. good idea

5:32 pm

MollyL

Said the Irish woman who doesn't drink whiskey. They are praying for you at St. Pat's, Soodle.

5:32 pm

lilliann

the liquor sounds good molly!! :)

5:32 pm

Glantarell

Mmm, off to bed to dream of liquor, candle light and attentive husbands

5:32 pm

periwinkle

not romantic, I was the only one here, unless you count the cats :)

5:32 pm

I am a heathen awaiting conversion!

Good night (((Glan)))

EvaNadine

hubby is at least doing a good job of making me giggle tonight

5:53 pm

EvaNadine

it has a taste. not sure how to describe it... its a light flavor...

5:53 pm

lilliann

it doesn't taste the same as normal tea mom, i prefer it with lemon

5:53 pm

MollyL

I think it tastes different Mom. I'm not a fan of regular tea. I usually drink the herbal stuff.

5:54 pm

Mom

I only like Lipton regular

5:54 pm

Mom

not a fan of flavored tea at all

5:54 pm

EvaNadine

its a light flavor, mom. you might like it...

5:55 pm

I developed a thing for chamomille tea after my husband passed. It was the only thing that kept me centered. I like it with honey and lemon.

Mom
