jillibus

flosey -- started the day with a hospital visit to get a dressing changed. Idiot doc (I'll soon be rid) had put on a clumsy one with gauze which stuck and peeling it off hurt like hell -- said to change it every day.. Nice nurse at the hospital put a great and comfy one on which will be fine for a week -- said nurses know much more about dressings than docs do -- certainly right in this case!

12:25 am

flosey

wow, jilli, you were lucky there, and yes, I believe there are many things that nurses are better at than docs

12:40 am

I don't dare pick him up, ruru, or I might!

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

how many ca 7's?

12:41 am

jillibus

ca7 x 3, dee

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

ty vm jili I was confused

12:42 am

flosey

jilli, that isn't the cat you looked after while your neighbour was away?

12:42 am

jillibus

No, flosey -- it's the beautiful burmese down the street at the corner who spends most of his time outside hunting birds and visiting my place.

12:43 am

flosey

ah, not as friendly!

12:43 am

jillibus

The next-door cat is dear little Russian Blue who is indoors most of the time.

12:43 am

rururocks

burmese..is it a muslim cat?

12:45 am

jillibus

The trouble is, the beautiful burmese is VERY friendly and has always been very affectionate with me -- wanting cuddles and if he gets into my house, follows me everywhere. Very strange that he bit me so hard for no reason I can figure out.

12:46 am

flosey

yes, that is strange

12:46 am

jillibus

rur, Burmese are the Golden Retrievers of cats in temperament.

12:46 am

Bugsaw

I have never heard of a cat doing that. Do the owners know? Maybe heis is painof somesort

12:46 am

jillibus

At least, this one always was.

12:47 am

jillibus

The onwer knows full well -- I phoned her to get me to the hospital becuase I was bleeding all over the place

12:47 am

jillibus

We are all baffled.

12:47 am

Bugsaw

very weird indeed

12:47 am

rururocks

me too

12:48 am

rururocks

has he gotten his rabies shots

12:49 am

jillibus

The owner claims he is all fine.

12:49 am

jillibus

The owner is a bit in accuarate sometimes.

12:50 am

rururocks

distemper?

12:50 am

rururocks

Cats can be weird jilli and bite for little reason

12:50 am

Bugsaw

is there a test they can do to make sure you are well in spite of what the owner says?

12:51 am

jillibus

I meant inaccurate. My typing was too!

12:51 am

jillibus

Bugs, nobody seemed to think that was necessary.

12:52 am

jillibus

I am on strong antibiotics because cat bited=s can be very infectious.

12:52 am

Bugsaw

then I trust the cat was just in a bad mood, but it is still pretty strange to me

12:53 am

rururocks

maybe he was a canuck fan?

12:53 am

rururocks

and didn't like the outcome

12:54 am

jillibus

Cat was in a lovely mood until then. All cuddly and following me all round the house. I was trying to get him to follow me OUT of the house, having heard (from other neighbours) he had tapeworm. Maybe he was mad when he figured out what I was trying to do...???

12:55 am

jillibus

That Canuck riot was horrible.

12:56 am

flosey

and I don't believe it was the fans that caused the riot

12:56 am

rururocks

they were just trying to toast the donuts in the police car flosey

12:56 am

jillibus

No way was it the fans -- it was an organised group of hoodlums and some other drunken jerks.

12:57 am

flosey

ah ru, but yes, exactly, what jilli said

12:57 am

Bugsaw

The news today showed a police car covered in sticky notes from people thanking the cops for trying to stop it and for being as calm as they were

12:57 am

rururocks

probably teabaggers jilli

12:57 am

jillibus

Canadians are mortified.

12:58 am

flosey

in the 50 years I've observed the Van. fans, they are the most faithful I've ever known

2:24 am

jillibus

2:24 am

westford

wtg !!

2:24 am

jillibus

the nickname counts

2:25 am

westford

sure does

2:25 am

jillibus

back in Shanghai a friend of my parents had a sailboat by that name (the nickname)

2:26 am

westford

strange name for a Shanghai boat

2:26 am

jillibus

it wasn't a junk -- a regular sailboat owned by a Brit

2:27 am

jillibus

not strange in those days

2:27 am

jillibus

Shanghai Yacht Club

2:27 am

westford

was it named after someone in the family?

2:28 am

westford

one of FDR's veeps was John Nance Garner I think

2:28 am

jillibus

I don't know -- will look it up if I can find it.

2:29 am

westford

I saw a bit of the clean up of Van on TV volunteers wrote apologies on the boarded up windows

2:29 am

westford

it was hardly covered here

2:34 am

jillibus

No idea who she was named after but it wouldn't have been an American, and I'm talking early 1930s. I've found a drawing and a description -- a "sloop rigged c. b. 7 ton cabin cruiser"

2:35 am

westford

quite a nice boat

2:36 am

westford

did you ever go out on her?

2:37 am

jillibus

Yes, once, I think. My mother never did -- she got seasick.

2:37 am

westford

too bad sailing can be so relaxing

2:38 am

westford

Jon was an ocean sailer at the Academy and we 'drags' used to go on practice runs with them

2:39 am

westford

that was so politically incorrect lol

2:39 am

westford

hah I spelled sailor wrong

2:40 am

jillibus

we were all politically incorrect then

2:40 am

westford

bet you caught that

2:40 am

jillibus

I didn't -- I'm half asleep!

2:41 am

westford

I know. Sometimes I wonder why so much fuss.

2:41 am

westford

I'll be quiet so you can sleep. shhh

2:42 am

jillibus

I do have to go to bed soon -- must get up at 9 am which is early for me.

2:43 am

westford

I'm about to go too. Trying to get to 60 left. I could be much faster if I used the list

2:44 am

jillibus

I have 70 left and I do use the list. Too impatient to struggle.

2:44 am

westford

I did it. See you later, jilli.

2:44 am

westford

*poof*

2:45 am

jillibus

there's a psalm in here which rhymes with boredom sort of.

3:53 am

sprite

:) That is a sweet thing to say, thank you.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

is it raining there? We have had dark and rainy days, but it's a good thing as the drought was really long and the whole valley was very dry.

3:55 am

sprite

Uneaixoise had sent me a couple of new icon themes (bless her!) and I just noticed I had used them to fill up the dates I had not earlier filled... but those dates are already past! Just moved them to the future so we can enjoy them.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

The garden is wonderful! Lots of fruit and I've been making jams and jellies

3:55 am

sprite

yes, it is raining. Pretty hard. Apart from the temperature it is autumn-like weather

3:57 am

rubyfoo

hah, my name is in here!

3:58 am

sprite

hehehe yes it is. And I was thinking of our dear Nancy Boy.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, pb for you!

3:58 am

sprite

yeah I know... I gladly go in his remembrance ;)

3:59 am

rubyfoo

me, too, and we can lift a glass in his (sweet) memory!

3:59 am

sprite

*lifts her glass, smiles and wipes a tear away at the same time*

4:00 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid "thumper" is afoot, so I'll see you later. The first 50 words were a snap....(hands sprite a hankie)

hi Saddy! The only meaning of that word I know, is as a part of a car's name... and proper names are never valid.

4:08 am

SaddySolar

i know that... lol.. i was just bitching

4:08 am

sprite

*giggles* I like bitching about the grid ;)

4:09 am

SaddySolar

it boggles my mind just looking at it

4:10 am

sprite

yeah, one of the good things of Babble, lol. If your mind gets boggled enough, it expands :)

4:11 am

SaddySolar

so why is the royal SPARE prince in the grid? isnt he a proper noun lol

4:11 am

sprite

yes he is! But he is also something else, the lucky boy.

4:12 am

SaddySolar

what??? i seriously dont know :)

4:13 am

movieman

it means to harass or annoy, saddy

4:13 am

SaddySolar

oh:)

4:13 am

SaddySolar

pippa is certainly not annoyed

4:14 am

SaddySolar

speaking of which, i know i am a month or so late.. but did you see the royal wedding

4:14 am

movieman

I did, that's four Royal Weddings that have occured in my lifetime now

4:15 am

SaddySolar

4?

4:15 am

sprite

no I didn't, sorry. It was much too pumped up to my taste. I didn't even watch the wedding of our own royal prince and heir to the throne, to be honest.

4:15 am

movieman

Charles and Diana, Andrew and Sarah, Edward and Sophie, and now William and Kate

4:15 am

sprite

hi movie my man :) How have you been?

4:16 am

SaddySolar

aah.. charles and diana got married before i was born... i was a baby at the other 2

4:16 am

movieman

Pretty good all told, just arrived back from a week in Portugal

4:16 am

SaddySolar

4:16 am

cool.girl

have the cr8 can i have some clues 4 the ad and the ar8 please

4:17 am

sprite

did you enjoy portugal?

4:17 am

movieman

clue for the cr8 plz cool girl?

4:18 am

cool.girl

children use them to colour

4:18 am

movieman

Certainly did, stayed at a friend's villa in the Algarve

4:18 am

sprite

only one I have is ca8, what gives rabbit treats their orange colour.

4:18 am

movieman

ty cool girl

4:18 am

sprite

thanks cool.girl, got it

4:20 am

sprite

am glad you had a good time, movie my man! You deserve it.

4:21 am

movieman

thank you very much sprite

4:21 am

cool.girl

ty

4:22 am

sprite

argh... I try to make the end of a marriage work here and only now I realise it ne4s a different vowel. How silly of me.

4:27 am

sprite

ok I found the ar8. It is a past tense. It is an old (and obsolete) word for begone.

4:30 am

cool.girl

can i have an easier clue sprite

4:30 am

sprite

yes, but I will have to really dummy it down, because I cannot think of a good clue. Hold on.

4:34 am

sprite

first 4 letters:
mix up "of kingly birth" as in the ****L prince.
+ When you argue: you did so! I did ***. Drop the vowel.
that gives you the 6/24. Past tense for the 8.

4:35 am

sprite

(darn Haz, or BabbleRabble, where are you when we ne4 you) ;)

4:36 am

cool.girl

got it thanks sprite

4:36 am

sprite

wow good! Am glad it worked, it was a clumsy clue.

4:37 am

cool.girl

has anyone got the ad 8 yet please

4:37 am

sprite

not yet, but will go look for it now

4:37 am

Dachef

I think that clue was about as good as its gonna get for that word!!! The ad8 is a little easier: a word meaning 'sufficient'l,

4:37 am

sprite

hi Dachef! Thanks :)

4:38 am

and thanks for the clue too, got it

4:50 am

sprite

hello Jivingjenny, I will try.

4:51 am

Dachef

ca8: an orange vegetable over the age of 10. ad8: how good you are at this game depends on your level of ad8...

4:53 am

sprite

ad8/75: sufficiency. Ends the same way as when something has a lot of room: sp***.
ca8/45: think of what rabbits love to eat. Starts with a vehicle, ends in someone who rents a room minus last letter.

4:58 am

sprite

any luck, Jivingjenny?

4:59 am

6:08 am

Anniebrook

ruby, any visitors at chez rubyfoo?

6:08 am

rubyfoo

the good news is that we eat lunch out most days; the bad news is that the local, affordable, restaurants are awful

6:08 am

rubyfoo

but it beats cooking

6:08 am

uusue2

hard to imagine awful restaurants in France...

6:09 am

rubyfoo

I think it's just our region

6:09 am

Anniebrook

Still beats cooking and cleaning up

6:10 am

rubyfoo

that's how I feel. I would happily settle for MCD, but they are all too far from our house and husband won't eat burgers from there

6:11 am

Anniebrook

I love McD's coffee

6:11 am

rubyfoo

I love MCD's everything!

6:11 am

I miss American fast food

oh, you poor thing

I lived near a Denny's and used to have their wonderful breakfasts with chicken-fried steak

6:14 am

6:14 am

Anniebrook

Ah, that was near Binghamton...I ate there once when I went to visit Liz when she was at SUNY Bing....Loved, loved. loved it

6:15 am

hurshy

california has a lot of cities - can we get a first letter to help us think of it?

6:15 am

6:16 am

uusue2

yes, Frank worries about traveling out of the country for that very reason (gluten makes him extremely ill as he has celiac disease)

6:18 am

rubyfoo

my son thinks it's because US wheat is too processed. He thought in Italy, it was OK.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

happy, my real name is in the grid -- also, our dear departed babble friend, na*** boy

6:19 am

hurshy

wheat being processed doesn't hurt you, it just is less nutritious, so i don't see why you would avoid it if you don't have a medical reason.

6:19 am

uusue2

maybe he has an allergy? celiac is an autoimmune disease - Frank doesn't have the ability to digest gluten and his body attacks any cells that contain it if he eats any

6:20 am

rubyfoo

my son is a chub and perhaps he thinks avoiding gluten will help him lose weight? I have no idea....

6:21 am

uusue2

actually, the gluten-free substitutes tend to be more caloric than wheat although eating fruit or veg instead of bread might be a good idea for him

6:21 am

hurshy

if he doesn't substitute it with other calories, then yes, eliminating something that isn't nutritionally valuable is probably going to help with weight loss

6:22 am

uusue2

Frank eats tons of butter and sugar but is thin and has very low blood pressure and cholesterol

6:22 am

hurshy

hmm, i wish i had celiac disease then, lol

6:23 am

rubyfoo

you wouldn't think we were even related except he has my (big) hands

6:23 am

uusue2

no you don't = if he gets even a speck of gluten he has cramps and diarrhea for 3 days

6:23 am

hurshy

well that's why i added the lol.

6:24 am

yay, half!

there you go, carlee :-)

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I am drooling, carlee

6:44 am

rubyfoo

what banana problem?

6:45 am

hurshy

there's some kind of blight that has wiped out bananas in some places and if it spreads as they figure is eventually inevitable, we will no longer have our trusty cavendish banana.

6:45 am

hurshy

so i hope they find a cure before it hits the remaining banana growing areas.

6:46 am

oh no! we get Cavendish but also little ones from Africa

annie, take this advice -- return your phone calls, mail your bills, and get dinner out of the freezer, because you will do little else once you start. They really are excellent books

for the record, we have two sets of the HP books - the American ones, and the original British ones. And the differences are amazing, given that they are supposed written in the same language

7:23 am

periwinkle

using the mouse to lay scramble

7:24 am

Jacula

Trif - in what way different? I AM surprised.

7:25 am

Trifioso

for starters, one of the British ones is about 100 pages shorter - forget which one. And very strange tweaks all around. I remember a "satsuma" in the B version becoming a "walnut" in the A version, which seemed weird. Tangerine, maybe....walnut?

7:26 am

Trifioso

and the A versions have to spend about a page explaining end-of-term study periods, whereas the B versions just say "they had revisions" of course

7:26 am

Jacula

How very odd!

7:27 am

Trifioso

innit?

7:28 am

I can understand the school system being explained, since they are quite different but the fruit becoming a nut thing is strange.

7:38 am

Trifioso

thank you! you know when you get to the point where you have tried to enter a word, or at least a bunch of letters, so many times that they stop making sense? or is that just me?

7:40 am

mamabook3

I hate the almost words. tantalizing.

7:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

who ever sundry is.

7:50 am

hego

OH, of course.

7:50 am

Trifioso

"menory" should be a word. Not sure of what it should mean, though. Makes me thinks of monks, or priests, for some reason

7:51 am

hego

like penury, maybe

7:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

I've always liked the song "Thanks for the Mammaries."

7:51 am

hego

Oh, Kap. ;-)

7:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am going to a 50th birthday for someone who is an inveterate punster today...

7:52 am

Trifioso

You and Torgone....

7:52 am

hego

My hubby is guilty of punning shamelessly.

7:52 am

Trifioso

you can give them a photo of a hippo, a birdy, and two ewes then

7:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Look at his website: perspicuity.com if you want to see the workings of a genius mind. Especially note the portraits done on etch-a-sketch

7:54 am

hego

I'm just making up stuff and it's being accepted!

7:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

Pause while you all look at Perspicuity.com?

8:22 am

jmcnrick

the nature of the job kazz -- nonprofits put a tiny bit in a retirement account each year and think they are doing well by you

8:24 am

mamabook3

you can always substitute teach - most states simply require you to have a college degree

8:24 am

Kazzer99

8:24 am

BzznBea

I sent him a msg. at 5:30 AM on my way to work about how I'd looked at his schedule and it looked like there may be time this AM and he should check his schedule to meet up for breakfast today if possible; his response sometime before I got home from work last evening was that that would be perfect and he'd let me know. Still haven't heard yet

9:02 am

crosshair

ahh nothing so fine and universal as a good brekkie

9:03 am

Kazzer99

full english is - bacon, sausage, egg, refried spuds, baked beans, mushrooms, black pudding, toast, oj and tea or coffee and toast

9:03 am

9:03 am

MollyL

<---- Won't go near black pudding

9:03 am

Mom

Crossy, what is black pudding?

9:03 am

Kazzer99

local variations can includes hogs pudding or seaweed in wales

9:03 am

crosshair

theough...black pudding...ewww,thats almost as bad as the blood and tongue saussage my da used to eat

9:04 am

crosshair

blood saussage molly

9:04 am

hego

you don't want to know, mom

9:04 am

Kazzer99

it a pudding made with fat and pigs blood that is boiled and hen you fry it

9:05 am

crosshair

my da used to eat all that..i could never get past all the blood

9:05 am

Kazzer99

and i used to hate it but it can be quite tasty - specially with a fried egg

9:05 am

crosshair

and do not forget the toast fried in bacon fat

9:06 am

crosshair

and kippers...ugh

9:06 am

Kazzer99

hogs pudding is anoher type of sausage - much thicker and juicier than normal ones - you usually slice it and fry it

9:07 am

Kazzer99

ther is nothing wrong with a good kipper

9:07 am

crosshair

crossy rarely does eggs "english style" like mum used to do for us..i find it too greasy now

9:08 am

rururocks

you guys are totally grossing me out with the bacon fat thing

9:08 am

crosshair

though i showed the wife and she looked on in facinated horror

9:09 am

crosshair

ruru, a staple in our kitchen for 20 years,was a can on the stove to catch bacon drippings for all sorts of cooking

9:09 am

Kazzer99

crossy - non sticj frying pan and a little water - ait till the water begins to boil and then cook you eggs like that - there is enough intrinsic fat in an egg to cook it without adding any extra

9:09 am

hego

bacon fat is not as bad for you as butter.

9:10 am

crosshair

we never saw margerine growing up,and butter was a treat

9:10 am

Kazzer99

no different with regard the calories and the saturated ness of it -

9:10 am

crosshair

though i love to cook my over easys in a dab of butter still kazz;))

9:11 am

Kazzer99

we never resorted to bread and lard in our house - my grandpa was a country man and we only ever had butter

9:11 am

doseffing

Grew u[ in Quebec ... dairy farmers lobby persuaded the provincial government that margarine had to coloured purple ... have never been able to touch the stuff ...

9:11 am

hego

Me too

9:12 am

crosshair

dose,our original margerine came in waxed paper cubes and was this ugly white yellow and crumbled when you used it

9:13 am

9:13 am

my da took one look and saud "not in my house" lol

9:14 am

well of course,we all use lard for pie shells etc

9:14 am

Hello all. Any quilters or crafty people here?

2:02 pm

redturtlehead

Actually, looking at the chat, anyone here at all?

2:02 pm

wildcat17

I'm here hi red

2:03 pm

MrIdang

I'm a quitter, and very crafty :)

2:03 pm

wildcat17

I do some crafts. Do you have a question?

2:03 pm

redturtlehead

I do! yay thanks Mridang and Wild.

2:03 pm

redturtlehead

I am making the quilt in my profile for an infant, who is due in december, and I should remind I live in Florida so it never gets that cold....I was thinking about

2:04 pm

redturtlehead

doing the front with 100% cotton, but maybe doing the backing of the quilt in a flannel, so it would be soft.

2:04 pm

wildcat17

that is beautiful. good for you!

2:04 pm

redturtlehead

Is that strange? will it work? I am not an experienced quilter.

2:04 pm

wildcat17

I've never seen flannel on a quilt. I would go with cotton all around. It will soften up when washed.

2:05 pm

wildcat17

clue for the ca8 please

2:05 pm

redturtlehead

My Mom made me several flannel ones, and htey were great in winter, she says they are hard to stitch...Mrldang?

2:05 pm

Bugsaw

my SIL makes all baby quilts with flanel on the back so it is soft for the baby. Just make sure it has been preshrunk before you use it Red

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Bugs, does she use flannel only on the front too, or regular cotton?

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

wild if i had the ca 8 I'd give to you.

2:06 pm

Bugsaw

regular cotton on the front but as long as everything is prewashed, it works out.

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

OK, I feel better, though mrldang is not weighing in...

2:07 pm

wildcat17

monkeyed it NM

2:07 pm

Bugsaw

ca8 is the chemical that makes you turn orange if you eat too many orange veggies

2:08 pm

redturtlehead

thanks bugs! to the rescue!

2:08 pm

redturtlehead

Ok I am off, I am ordering fabric...

2:08 pm

Bugsaw

I wonder why my icon changed back to the one before the celtic cross I put up last night?

2:08 pm

redturtlehead

when I click your icon, I see the cross, when I look in the chog, I see flames...

2:09 pm

Bugsaw

weird.........

2:10 pm

Bugsaw

that quilt looks like a lot of work Red. well done

2:10 pm

MollyL

I love quilts. I spent years sleeping under puffy comforters. I was SO GLAD when I went back to sleeping under quilts.

2:11 pm

Bugsaw

I don't have the patience to make quilts but my DIL likes to do all the quilting by hand. She finds it soothing!

2:11 pm

4:12 pm

MollyL

(((Ruby)))

4:12 pm

rubyfoo

4:13 pm

rubyfoo

if I had to pick one food, it would probably be an egg, especially with whole wheat bread and sea salt butter

4:13 pm

rubyfoo

what's your comfort food, molly?

4:13 pm

redturtlehead

Hi RUby!

4:13 pm

redturtlehead

I like eggs too...especially on toast.

4:14 pm

suefrad625

4:14 pm

suefrad625

eggs and when I am sick, soft boiled eggs

4:14 pm

rubyfoo

with a runny yolk and salty butter

4:14 pm

rubyfoo

oh yes, soft-boiled

4:14 pm

redturtlehead

oh yes...

4:14 pm

redturtlehead

I prefer rye bread or pumpernickle though.

4:14 pm

rubyfoo

it used to be Creme of Wheat but it's not available in Europe

4:15 pm

rubyfoo

can't get decent bread here

4:15 pm

rubyfoo

cream*

4:15 pm

suefrad625

oatmeal on a cold morning

4:15 pm

redturtlehead

I find that hard to believe ruby, but I guess it is true. Wow. In france, you would think bread and cheese...would be always fabulous.

4:15 pm

MollyL

Oh eggs is on my list of comfort foods. And yes, runny yolk and salty butter. Then there is macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, a baked potato, oatmeal loaded with cinnamon, raisins and brown sugar...the list goes on and on. Even toast can be a comfort food for me.

4:16 pm

rubyfoo

I used to eat oatmeal with brown sugar, butter and sweet cream but suddenly, at age 64 I developed a severe allergy to it

4:16 pm

redturtlehead

mac and cheese. Yum.

4:16 pm

redturtlehead

I am warming up crabcakes for dinner.

4:16 pm

rubyfoo

Maryland girls love anything that involves crab.

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

4:17 pm

rubyfoo

mac and cheese, omg

4:17 pm

suefrad625

I even have food that brings wonderful memories like potatoe pancakes

4:17 pm

rubyfoo

did you ever have she-crab soup?

4:17 pm

suefrad625

with apple sauce

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

potato pancakes.

4:17 pm

rubyfoo

I like really bland food

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

ok, I am getting more hungry.

4:17 pm

rubyfoo

potato pancakes with sour cream

4:17 pm

MollyL

I've had every kind of crab soup there is.

4:18 pm

suefrad625

latka

4:18 pm

MollyL

I was just going to say, I thought they were called latkes. They are good with sour cream.

4:19 pm

rubyfoo

when I lived in Princeton, one time the janitor brought me a huge paper bag full of blue crab. I called over my best friend and a close Jesuit friend and the 3 of us covered the table with newspaper, opened a good bottle of French white and it was one of my most memorable meals

4:19 pm

rubyfoo

latkes, yes

4:20 pm

rubyfoo

(my first husband was at some conference or other at the time)

4:20 pm

suefrad625

4:20 pm

uusue2

HHi, all, babbling on my phone :-)

4:21 pm

suefrad625

4:22 pm

4:22 pm

rubyfoo

did you see the funny article published by a Sephardic Jewish rabbi in Israel that Kate Middleton's whole maternal side is Jewish? Hilariously funny to me

4:23 pm

suefrad625

here in NC, most people just look at me funny when I name a food that isnt fried

4:23 pm

rubyfoo

my mother made the best lasagna (ingredients unavailable here) and veal Parmagiano

4:23 pm

suefrad625

no

4:24 pm

rubyfoo

this husband just likes spicy food, so I cook separate meals most of the time or just skip meals altogether

4:25 pm

rubyfoo

meals are no longer fun around here and the restaurants are awful

4:25 pm

suefrad625

I used to eat lobster until the last one I cooked cried out and tried to get out of the pot. I just sat and cried and couldn't eat her

4:27 pm

rubyfoo

ty for the ad5, I didn't have that one

4:27 pm

uusue2

Thx, molly, how did I miss that?

4:28 pm

MollyL

Ruby, I can't cook crabs or lobster. I feel to inhuman. I know what you mean about the sound. It's awful.

4:28 pm

rubyfoo

I once tried to cook live soft shell crabs and kept having to re-cover the pot as they were pushing the lid off

4:29 pm

suefrad625

not getting the ad8

4:29 pm

MollyL

I love to eat lobster though, so I just put the thought of the way they are cooked right out of my lobster loving self.

4:29 pm

rubyfoo

as I grow older, I understand vegetarianism more and more but then get the occasional wild craving for meat

4:29 pm

suefrad625

I love lobster, but I think crab legs have more flavor

4:30 pm

rubyfoo

it rhymes with the American system sort of

4:30 pm

rubyfoo

especially liver

4:31 pm

MollyL

ad 8...lemon and lime drinks end with *** + a duck ****ks + sometimes vowel

4:31 pm

MollyL

Oh gross, I can't abide liver.

4:32 pm

suefrad625

and the 4th letter is a big score letter?

4:32 pm

rubyfoo

I wouldn't eat it until I grew up except chopped. I make an aunt's old recipe with friend onions and hardboiled eggs and chicken fat

4:32 pm

suefrad625

love broiled livers with onion

4:32 pm

suefrad625

here in the south they fry it, yuck

4:33 pm

suefrad625

4:33 pm

rubyfoo

4:33 pm

rubyfoo

suefrad625

4:33 pm

suefrad625

ruby

4:33 pm

rubyfoo

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

OH, EVEN i MIGHT NOT EAT THAT.....

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

whoops, didn't mean to shout

4:34 pm

suefrad625

miami is the place to love liver

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

why?

4:34 pm

suefrad625

but liver mush is like a patti, and then they tell you to cook it until you can put it on the bottom of a shoe and walk on it

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

I loved Miami, but mainly miss the food and the ocean

4:35 pm

suefrad625

because it is broiled and moist

4:35 pm

rubyfoo

sounds like mom's home cooking

4:36 pm

rubyfoo

I had better go back to bed or husband will come after me, so good night sue and molly, if you're here

4:36 pm

suefrad625

wait, ad8 pls

4:37 pm

rubyfoo

ok lemon a** + bit letter + end of american system (democr***)

4:37 pm

rubyfoo

Minveryork

Hello crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

9:29 pm

Gobias

getting a late start tonight

9:30 pm

crosshair

the best e-reader for browsing the web is the new nook colour touch..but they are only avail in the states so you have to be creative to get one if you are not from the planet USA lol

9:30 pm

crosshair

howdy min

9:30 pm

Minveryork

I sort of got a late start. I got 100 words at the flip, but then got back here late to finish. Not sure if I will

9:30 pm

crosshair

the best reader for international use is a sony reader

9:31 pm

crosshair

if you live in the good ole usa a kindle will work,but it does not do e-pub files;(((

9:31 pm

crosshair

as for i-pads..do not get me started lol

9:32 pm

doxy1lover

I take it you don't like i-pads???

9:32 pm

crosshair

i would not buy an i-pad even if they had them for 50 dollars lol

9:32 pm

Gobias

I actually downloaded the nook app for my android phone, but haven't really had a chance to use it

9:33 pm

Gobias

and I'm also not a fan of the ipad, or iphone :)

9:33 pm

crosshair

my transformer tab is running an android os;))

9:33 pm

doxy1lover

I love my nook. I don't browse the web though. Just download books and read

9:38 pm

crosshair

but enough of me going on.if anyone wants reader ot tablet info you can ask or get me at p.a.melbourne@gmail.com

9:39 pm

welki

awwww ... our young man is in the grid today. miss him.

9:39 pm

lbdawger

hi, welki

9:39 pm

welki

hey dawg

9:42 pm

lbdawger

been out teaching worms how to swim lately?

9:43 pm

welki

yep, went out to the lake yesterday, caught some ... rained all night, all day today, so we headed back home

9:44 pm

lbdawger

rivers and streams are running too high and fast here for any good fishing.

9:44 pm

welki

i broke my favorite fishing rod a couple of weeks ago ... good reason to buy a new one

9:44 pm

welki

oh river fishing is out of the question here .. advisories all over the place, flooding rampant. you'd think folks would know to stay away (but they don't)

9:45 pm

lbdawger

how sad, but yup, a good reason to Upgrade! lol

9:45 pm

welki

the water's so friggin' dirty and filled with floating debris, you'd be nuts to take a chance

9:45 pm

welki

about the rod, i even called the manufacturer, but they sold the last one in 2006

9:45 pm

lbdawger

stay away from moving water...heck they don't even do that when the roads are awash

9:46 pm

lbdawger

maybe you can find a twin on ebay?

9:46 pm

welki

what gets me is that people are 'outraged' that they're being policed .. but every time the rivers run high here, there are always rescues and, unfortunately, recoveries

9:46 pm

welki

i tried, dawg .. none to be had

9:47 pm

welki

i'll get used to the new one. i received a new spinning reel for my birthday, so the two make a nice pair ... going to take some getting used to, though.

9:47 pm

welki

and maybe, just maybe, the rivers will be better in a couple of weeks for my vacation ... and then a-flyfishin' i will go :)

9:48 pm

lbdawger

where you planning to vacation?

9:49 pm

welki

low budget this year .. at first, was thinking about heading down your way, but that involves $$$ gas and an out of town fishing license x2

9:50 pm

welki

went back east in may to see the kids ... so probably will just stay close to home, up at the lake and maybe a day or two south, near crowsnest pass

9:50 pm

lbdawger

either of those places will be nice to spend time casting and retrieving. :)

what happened to you, wild? sounds like you had quite the night!

9:52 pm

wildcat17

it was an all-day thing. first went to my daughter's which is 70 miles away to fix her car. then once home was moving the rest of my son's stuff to his new apt when he called to tell me he'd broken his wrist playing basketball. got to take him to urgent care and everything. got home around midnight

9:52 pm

welki

dawg, we have good times where ever we end up. although different scenery is nice, it's about what you bring to the place, not the location (will make that my mantra in july *lol*)

9:53 pm

welki

but wild .. things are calmer now?

9:53 pm

doxy1lover

Fireworks

9:53 pm

welki

whew. glad everyone is okay ... and thankful that they have YOU around!

9:54 pm

welki

wtg doxy

9:54 pm

9:54 pm

wildcat17

ty. I hope they are VERY grateful

9:55 pm

wildcat17

it's times like these that make me question why I gave birth to four of them

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

evening all :)

9:55 pm

do i have a flag like you guys?

11:27 pm

uusue2

about nano - it is a prefix, not a word on its own, which is why it doesn't appear in the dictionary (just reading back in the chog)

11:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi there UU sue

11:27 pm

mrpresident

you have to go pro felic

11:27 pm

uusue2

hi, gwen!

11:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you get a flag if you pony up a one-time fee -- is it still $15?

11:27 pm

NonnieLight

No, felicia. If you subscribe to the site you will.

11:28 pm

mfelicia

ok, i see

11:28 pm

mfelicia

you're an aussie like me!

11:28 pm

uusue2

I think so, gwen - a real bargain!!

11:28 pm

NonnieLight

Do you still only see the stats for two weeks without going pro?

11:29 pm

mrpresident

and at the bottom of the grid in friends of Babble, is Lickety's Babble Clues... that helps too

11:29 pm

uusue2

felicia, if you click on the "help" icon above it will give you some general instructions on how to play the game and find words in the grid

11:29 pm

uusue2

I think that's right, nonnie

11:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and you get pro status, you will get the tile stats and word stats (you get them free for a week or so, then they are gone), you get a pink or blue headshot, and what else?

11:29 pm

mrpresident

terri1 was cut off after a few days from tile states

11:29 pm

mfelicia

ok, thank you

11:29 pm
