12:57 am
Christine
Everyone must behave: I don't want to come out there, and knock heads!
12:58 am
grannyrose
hey flosey, christine, ruru, smores
12:58 am
Christine
Rururocks, the secret is like the answer to TV shows that offen - use the off button, or glide over the comments. Oh well
12:59 am
rururocks
hi granny
12:59 am
rururocks
that's my point exactly christine
12:59 am
Christine
Hello, all. I'm slogging away, have only 74 words, and only 5 are sixes.
1:00 am
rururocks
some people forget that this is a game.. the title is Babble the Ultimate word game
1:00 am
Christine
I don't know what started the uproar - I came in about the time it got going, I read back in the comments, and there was no lead-up?
1:00 am
smores
hmm....musta missed something
1:01 am
Christine
Well, as I said later, I occasionally clue when I find a good word, I use the clues given, and generally don't chat that much. But this evening !!!
1:01 am
rururocks
not from me.. I was just defending myself
1:02 am
smores
<----dazed and confused
1:02 am
grannyrose
oh, de4...did i miss something AGAIN? i never get to see the smoke and flames......
1:02 am
Christine
Smores, it was just a silly blow-up. And as we said, just glide over whatever offends you - unless it's hurtful to someone. But puns are just a silly play on words. I think that was all it was.
1:03 am
Christine
It was foolishness, but I think it'll blow over. I hope so.
1:03 am
smores
np....lol...I reside in the state of Confusion quite often
1:04 am
grannyrose
so we have a language problem again? puns not being taken as such.....this is so silly.
1:04 am
smores
and definately don't take things too seriously of offensively...sooo...Babble on!!
1:06 am
grannyrose
smores, working on the confusion...would just tipsy do?
1:06 am
Christine
But there wasn't anything said that could be misconstrued, nothing at all risqué.
1:07 am
rururocks
uh christine.. it doesn't take much these days
1:08 am
cybernan

1:58 am
gapeach
Going to be making good things for Christmas, eh?
1:58 am
flosey
yes, but the ones coming are not really sweet eaters
1:58 am
flosey
but have to have a few things ready in case of drop-ins, etc
2:01 am
gapeach
I don't cook any more because of my hands but I've found a gourmet market close by that does up great gifts. I try to get some for the neighbors and friends.
2:01 am
Lizlin
Is anyone else finding this grid tricky?
2:02 am
flosey
lovely idea, and much easier when you have a great shop like that
2:02 am
gapeach
This grid is a witch, Lizlin. Well, that is only my opinion.
2:02 am
gapeach
Indeed, flosey.
2:02 am
Lizlin
Just got to half way - mind you, haven't been working on it the whole time!
2:02 am
flosey
yes Liz, I'm puzzling over na4 and 6, monkeys are tired trying
2:03 am
grannyrose
i don't cook anymore because i don't have an oven i can trust, no cooktop. just an electric hotplate( a single) an electric oven which is horrible, and electric frypan, vegetable steamer, horizontal grill.
2:03 am
Lizlin
I don't have them!
2:03 am
grannyrose
flosey, na4, term for grandmother
2:03 am
Lizlin
Wow! I love cooking but leave most of it to my hubby! The day to day stuff that is.
2:04 am
grannyrose
na6, sounds like the leader of nurses in a hospital
2:04 am
flosey
oh, now I see it rose, wow, how blind can I be
2:04 am
Lizlin
ty rose - silly to miss both of those!
2:04 am
flosey
thanks rose, again,
2:05 am
grannyrose
lol, liz, i adore cooking, but refuse to do any until the kitchen has been renovated.
2:05 am
rbud
hello, ladies, and gents, if any be present. :)
2:05 am
flosey
don't blame you rose
2:05 am
Lizlin
That was the first thing we did when we moved here. I've never had a kitchen like this!
2:06 am
grannyrose
we(read i ) have bought all the new appliances, incuding a double-bowl sink. they are sitting in the garage.:(
2:06 am
gapeach
Hi there, rbud.
2:06 am
Lizlin
Rose, is your no-cook strategy working?
2:06 am
grannyrose
hey rbud.
2:06 am
Lizlin
Obviously not!
2:07 am
rbud
oh, heck, we've been in this house 20+ years now, and things planned back then are still in the remodel stage... may never finish, sigh...
2:07 am
flosey
I love the double sink in kitchen, we built when we moved here so I was able to say what I wanted - and have a lovely big kitchen
2:08 am
rbud
my dishwasher has been sitting in the shed for 5 years, the washer and dryer sat for 7 before finally getting installed...
2:08 am
grannyrose
well the bathroom is nearly finished. think i will get the lounge and bedroom done next. mostly only painting and a bit of new furniture. then will have to plan an extended respite session for mother mac while the kitchen is done.
2:08 am
flosey
oh rbud, how frustrating
2:08 am
Lizlin
I guess we're a bit like that too! But the kitchen was a must. The previous one was awful and I couldn't live with it! And it was sooooo dirty when we moved in.
2:09 am
rbud
but just yesterday the planned heated sidewalk from the shop to the house was finally poured! it's beautiful.
2:09 am
Lizlin
Sounds like you've done a lot Rose :)
2:09 am
Lizlin
that sounds pretty awesome rbud :)
2:10 am
flosey
well, we've been here since '95 and the downstairs fireplace has not been finished - we use it, it's a closed thing in an inset - that's what hasn't been finished, use the stove a lot
2:10 am
flosey
lovely rbud
2:10 am
rbud
it will be wonderful if it works properly, no shoveling for Hubby's electric chair, yay!
2:11 am
Lizlin
That'll be life changing
2:11 am
flosey
super, rbud
2:12 am
grannyrose

Lizlin
Fantastic film - Adrian Brody was amazing.
2:13 am
grannyrose
stars adrian brody....lol, you took the words out of my mouth.
2:13 am
Lizlin
Not just the Polish Jews though!
2:14 am
grannyrose
totally agree
2:15 am
Lizlin
My family was very lucky - my dad's family got to England in 1938 - my step mum was on the kinder transport! many were not so lucky.
2:16 am
flosey
how fortunate Liz
2:16 am
Lizlin
Just entered a brand of whisky as a laugh and it was accepted!
2:16 am

8:32 am

it is related to the dutch word, that has an U after the vowel. It means woman and is Old or Middle English.

10:05 am

I stayed up for the flip (1am for me) twice and it wasn't worth it--total lunacy in the chatlog.
10:05 am
MLFAN17
i havent been at too many flips lately been going to bed before them
10:06 am
hego
I am sound asleep at that time
10:06 am
MollyL
I agree Scrabs. Everyone rushing to be "first" at finding things. This is not a competitive game for me.
10:06 am
crosshair
it is a different babble that is for sure.for the most part stats only no clues and a full out race to finish first
10:07 am
MLFAN17
i hvent finished a grid in forever and ui probably never willl
10:07 am
hego
I don't like competitions.
10:07 am
hego
Too much pressure.
10:07 am
crosshair
agreed
10:08 am

I prefer to be in the REM zone at the flip.
10:08 am
hego
I don't care if I finish or not.
10:08 am
hego
me too Scrabs.
10:09 am
hego
Never had the need to "beat" anyone.
10:09 am
hego
Maybe I'm just lazy. lol
10:09 am
MLFAN17
i dont need to beat anyone i just would like to be able to finish a grid once in a while but...
10:09 am
Scrabbler
Nope, Hego, you are mature enough to not let your ego interfere with enjoying life.
10:10 am
MollyL
No Hego, big difference between lazy and non-competitive. And what Scrabs said.
10:10 am
hego
MLF you can alwys get help to finish.
10:10 am
hego
Enjoying, yes that's the thing for me.
10:12 am
Scrabbler
A group of us on our block are having a progressive dinner tonight and I am making corn bread and a salad. I think I will make one batch of corn bread with corn in it. Sound ok?
10:12 am
hego
sounds great!
10:13 am
hego
I'll be right over!
10:13 am
Scrabbler
And I will have salad ingredients in separate containers so people can create their own salad.
10:13 am
hego
sounds like a fun thing to do.
10:14 am
Scrabbler
Appetizers at the Sherman's at 6, dinner at the Reed's next, then dessert at Gary's home.
10:15 am
Scrabbler
I joined the group in August. We go out for dinner every other Friday. Local restaurants, nothing fancy. Just dinner and chatting. No dessert. All nice people, very nice.
10:16 am
hego
Good for you, Srabs.
10:16 am
Scrabbler
No strong egos, everyone is nice and easy-going.
10:17 am
hego
you're lucky to put such a nice group together.
10:17 am
Scrabbler
Uh, oh, I am having a hot flash. BRB. I must run outside for a few minutes.
10:18 am
hego
Poor Scrabs!
10:18 am
crosshair
what is a "progressive" dinner?
10:19 am
hego
if you read what she said you will get it.
10:19 am
hego
you have a different course at each house.
10:20 am
crosshair
best keep it under 12 courses then or you are driving all night:))
10:20 am
Scrabbler
I am back. It's really nice out.
10:20 am

10:23 am
Scrabbler
I had the uterus chopped out 2 yrs earlier.
10:23 am
hego
my, my, all this chopping.
10:23 am
crosshair
the operation took 4 hours cause everything was stuck together..she still pays the price for it
10:23 am
Scrabbler
It is a strange experience, to suddenly have a body temp of 108.
10:24 am
hego
You have rough surgeons up north.
10:24 am
Scrabbler
Adhesions, Crossy? Me too.
10:24 am
MollyL
Progressive dinners are fun.
10:24 am
crosshair

10:24 am
hego
Poor Scrab and Elegant.
10:24 am
crosshair
everything was just stuck in there scrabbs and now things pull and tug painfully
10:24 am
Scrabbler
At least we won't have snow or rain as we walk from one house to another.
10:25 am
crosshair
and there is a 3cm mass
10:25 am
Scrabbler
Same for me, Crossy, especially on my RLQ. Doc offered another operation to trim away adhesions but I had enough surgery--4 in 5.5 yrs.
10:25 am
hego
Will they remove it?
10:25 am
Scrabbler
What kind of mass?
10:26 am
crosshair
they will not go near my mrs,says it is too risky with everything tangled up in there
10:26 am
crosshair
i think it is calcified intestinal coating..i think
10:27 am
Scrabbler
Maybe a calcified peritoneal cyst. I had a peritoneal cyst removed last time.
10:27 am
crosshair
i have been dazzled with so much nonsensical dr speak about it the last 5 years,it could be made of rainbows and i would not know
10:27 am
crosshair
but they refuse to go in
10:27 am
crosshair
now all they talk about is pain management
10:28 am
Scrabbler
All of my optional body parts have been removed--tonsils, adenoids, gall bladder, appendix, lady parts.
10:28 am
hego
poor thing..
10:28 am
Scrabbler
Poor, Elegant, I know what she has gone through.
10:28 am
crosshair
lol,scrabby slims 20 pounds the hard way!
10:28 am
Scrabbler
But my pain is not bad at all, more annoying.
10:28 am
hego
how goes the diet Crossy?
10:29 am
crosshair
when my mrs turns wrong or eats hard to digest food it happens,this painful tugging
10:29 am
crosshair

10:30 am
Scrabbler
I've gone through a little growth spurt myself in the last 2 mo. Instead of coming home from work and biking or hiking I end up in a hot bath reading.

The exception to the general rule that one should use an apostrophe to indicate possession is in possessive pronouns. Some of them are not a problem. “Mine†has no misleading “s†at the end to invite an apostrophe. And few people are tempted to write “hi’s,†though the equally erroneous “her’s†is fairly common, as are “our’s†and “their’sâ€â€”all wrong, wrong, wrong. The problem with avoiding “it’s†as a possessive is that this spelling is perfectly correct as a contraction meaning “it is.†Just remember one point and you’ll never make this mistake again: “it’s†always means “it is†or “it has†and nothing else.
10:46 am

Good lesson, BR, but you are preaching to the choir here. I think most of us are grammarians.

special occasion this morning.. the tree swallows arrived to swoop down and snap up emerging little white dipterans.. tried to capture the event on camera but swallows fly too fast.. on the other hand, I did capture one of the flies in a jar and will try to id it.. this emergence/arrival of the swallows happens every year, kind of magical as you stand in a cloud of swallows
10:49 am
o-o
Thanks, Scrabbler .. so nice your opinion is not universal.
10:50 am
Aloyisius
swoop, swoop.. all around you.. you can hear them snap at the insects and you can feel the flap of their wings, but somehow they don't run into you
10:51 am
crosshair
we get barn swallows that do the same aloy.if you get to close to their nest they swoop right down close enough to ruffle your hair but never touch you
10:51 am

I think most Babblers pay attention to grammar and spelling.

Thanks Jill :)
2:24 pm
uusue2

2:24 pm
uusue2
However it looks a little better now.

2:48 pm
crosshair

2:49 pm
crosshair

2:49 pm
crosshair
yaa for chrissie!
2:49 pm
ChrissieDee
Sue, if you are still around I'm still holding you and Frank in my prayers (along with most other babblers). I wish you strength
2:49 pm
hego
she should take him to the ER of the hospital that did his surgery.
2:50 pm
crosshair
i imagine in the states the insurance is the thing.if she does not have it for frank
2:50 pm
ChrissieDee
ty crossie. Any one want clues before I go?
2:50 pm

2:52 pm
dan2bit
hi hego & tx all
2:53 pm
hego
And infection can be serious.
2:53 pm
crosshair

2:53 pm
crosshair
i know it can
2:54 pm
hego
I agree that it is a terrible system.
2:54 pm
crosshair
sigh..sorry just gets me going,she should be able to bring frank in 7 times a day if that is what is needed without all this BS
2:55 pm
hego
and now it's become political. ugh!!
2:55 pm
hego
I agree Crossy.
2:55 pm
crosshair
political will not help.politicians make lots of money and can afford fancy polocies and cannot relate

3:07 pm
hego
not the supermarket stuff.
3:08 pm
MollyL
Ooo, sorry. I was kind of joking about the surgery. I doubt it was that big of a deal. *Treads carefully to the PB to make holiday cookies*
3:08 pm
crosshair
i also go to the farm for my bacon
3:08 pm
hego
YAY!!! cookies.
3:09 pm
hego
Crossy we were fascinated by your egg farm.
3:09 pm
crosshair
you were?/ lol sorry! i misread.i thought sue had to do some work on the infection site.crossy better learn to wear his new glasses
3:09 pm
hego
I love farm markets and have a great one near me.
3:10 pm
crosshair
it is the only way to go hego.free range animals,organic fed.you can really tell the difference in chicken and pork .eggs laid that morning and home made meat pies
3:11 pm
hego
yes, I buy natural pork and chicken too.
3:11 pm
crosshair
our supermarket chicken has gotten so greasy no matter how you cook it,we will not buy it
3:11 pm
hego
or Perdue, the chicken torturers.
3:12 pm
crosshair
i do not knwo the why of it,i guess they dit around in boxes all day and it is mostly fat?
3:12 pm
hego
so fat they can hardly stand.
3:12 pm
crosshair
so now i do not mind paying the extra for free range organic
3:13 pm
hego
much healthier for all.
3:13 pm
crosshair
and the eggs work out cheaper when you buy them by the flat.you get a dozen free
3:13 pm
hego
you must eat lots of eggs.
3:14 pm
hego
how do you keep them?
3:14 pm
crosshair
and they support a micro independant dairy and the milk still comes in glass pint and quart jars;))
3:14 pm
MollyL
We have that dozen free thing at our Amish market too. But it's too many eggs for just two people.
3:14 pm
crosshair
keep them?? lol they last 2 weeks
3:14 pm
hego
me too Molly
3:14 pm
crosshair
no need to worry bout eggs going bad here.breakfast for 3 every day and my baking
3:15 pm
hego
my nephew raises his own in the back yard.
3:15 pm
crosshair
i mean a cake takes 3 eggs,a yorkshire pud batch takes 3 eggs.they go fast
3:16 pm
crosshair
we used to raise our own hego,but it is a fair bit of work and not allowed inside larger town limits now
3:17 pm
hego
It's allowed here because not many people do it.
3:18 pm
crosshair
the egg farm we use supports 4 towns and the market they run,so all go there.it is sort of central 30 min drive for me
3:19 pm
crosshair
the mennonite ladies make the breads and dessert and meat pies..my god! i go in and blame them for making me fluffy
3:20 pm
hego
fluffy, I like that.
3:20 pm
crosshair
have 3 of their meat pies in the freezer now.a sweet pulled pork,a steak and mushroom and a herbed chicken..mmm
3:20 pm
crosshair
or husky if you prefer
3:21 pm
hego
no, i love fluffy. lol
3:22 pm
MollyL
I don't bake so much that I would use up that many eggs in baking. And we only have eggs for breakfast a couple of times a week. So a dozen a week works fine for two of us. I buy more if I'm going to bake or make something that requires a lot of eggs.
3:22 pm
MollyL
I do treat us to the Amish eggs on occasion though. They are much better than store bought.
3:23 pm
crosshair
indeed each to their own.i bake twice a week and eggs are for breakfast in one form or another about 4 times a week.the other 3 days are my guilty pennance brekkies
3:24 pm
crosshair
did a batch of blueberry muffins the other day and will do some orange bread most likely tomorrow
3:25 pm
crosshair
have tons of mandarins,will use zest and juice from them
3:25 pm
hego
I would not fit through the door if I lived at your house Crossy.
3:26 pm
crosshair
secret is large brekkies medium lunch and very small dinner so you do not go to bed with a full gut.was a must with my reflux and apnea anyways
3:27 pm
crosshair
breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper
3:27 pm
crosshair
and since as you know crossy likes brekkies this works for me:))
3:28 pm

It took me ae4/4s to do grid, but I have one word le4/7 so here is a story that is ad 5/12ed with clues for my de 4/5 Babble friends. I wake up at da 4/9 every morning and le 4/5 into grid before I drive to work in the to 4/8 of Yonkers. I am aw 4/9 by babblers who are so de 4/8 at finding all of the words they're already finished when I come on. I babble until I have to get my fo4/7 out the do 4/5 and goto work ea 4/4ing a living helping kids le 5/10.Sometimes I wish I could stay in6/21s & babble all day. At no4/4 time, during lunch, I gl 5/14 the chog for clues and find more words. When I get home, I take my po 6/24 out for a walk and then I le4/4 on Lickety's list to help me finish the grid. Da /45 it! Hubby just walked in the do 4/5 and has ma 4/6 it known that he wants to sit do 4/9 at the computer. I fe 4/7 what he will do if I don't give him computer. I'm going to go watch the film One Fl4/11 Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I'll be back later on

not here molly.once the boy got older we got a artificial tree 4 feet tall in a ceramic potted base.i string the mini lights in it permanantly and have a box of balls,one of ribbons,one of misc stuff and can whip it out of the box,stand it on an end table and have it plugged in and fully decorated in 15 minutes!
4:57 pm
MollyL
That's funny. I just send my son our annual RIGGING UP THE LIGHTS email and told him that some year I am getting a pre-lit tree.
4:58 pm
wvteach
had been one that said NO artificial tree - now we wouldn't have one if it weren't for it being pre-lit, take it out of the box - then enjoy adding the decorations
4:59 pm
MollyL
A table top tree sounds nice and easy, but none of my kids would come home for Christmas if I did that. They are funny that way. : )
5:00 pm
Jillyjill
I know, mine are absolutely stuck on all the traditions I foolishly adhered to...
5:00 pm
MollyL
What were we thinking Jill? If we had raised them on minimalist Christmas, life would be so much easier now.
: D
5:01 pm
crosshair
lol they are funny that way? well then they can all come over one week and decorate the 22 foot blue spruce in the vaulted celing livingroom for you lol
5:01 pm
Jillyjill
LOL....well, on the other hand, it's nice that they have memories...
5:02 pm
crosshair
if it is adult kids we are talking about
5:02 pm
MollyL
If I could afford a house with a vaulted ceiling that would take a 22 foot tree, I would hire decorators and have cocktails while I watched them trim the tree.
5:02 pm
Jillyjill
the other tradition we started is every year since they were born we have bought (er um Santa bought) them an ornament. So now they have 26 and 30 after this Christmas
5:03 pm
carleekat
hi jilly...and I like biscotti too... is YUMMY
5:03 pm
Jillyjill
The only problem I have with their ornaments is that they are still storing them here!
5:03 pm
wvteach
Have the two grandkids put up and decorate the tree and they love doing that - and remembering the decorations they've made over the years
5:05 pm
Jillyjill
I could have waited til #1 son came home next Sat, but...mom wanted the house all nice for him...BUT guess who is helping put it all away...
5:08 pm
Jillyjill
This grid must be in honor of Hanekkah...everything is read to the left...
5:09 pm
MollyL
Helpers are nice, Teach. My son helps with the heavy lifting and the "tall guy" stuff. Then he puts a few ornaments on the tree and the rest is up to me. : )
5:12 pm
Jillyjill
Yep, #1 son is 6 ft and 200#, he will be a blessing in putting things away...our storage room is overflowing...
5:15 pm
wvteach
These helpers are 14 and 6, but with the artificial tree it is quite doable. The older does the top and the younger the bottom to decorate - and they enjoy doing it
5:17 pm
Jillyjill
That sounds wonderful...I'm now convinced that I may never have grandkids...I'd love to have some to pass down our traditions..

uusue2
hi again all@
5:19 pm
Jillyjill
Hi uusue, what did doc say?
5:19 pm
uusue2
he had me poke around in it and drain it some more, and will see us in the morning
5:20 pm
uusue2
after I cleaned it up it didn't look quite as bad but it's still a lot redder than I would like
5:20 pm
Jillyjill
You should earn a nursing degree after this!!
5:20 pm
uusue2
I think so, Jill!
5:21 pm
Jillyjill
There can be some irritation, thinks like odor, temp and increased drainage that is less red &/or cloudy are real indicators
5:21 pm
carleekat
ok... back
5:21 pm
uusue2
hi carlee!
5:21 pm
Jillyjill
Is he still on antibiotics? Maybe they should run a culture on the wound...
5:21 pm
uusue2
well, it is still draining but it is clear, so probably ok. Would be nice if it would heal, though.
5:22 pm
uusue2
no, antibiotics are done
5:22 pm
Jillyjill
Then a culture is in order....just in case..
5:22 pm
uusue2
sorry about the medical details, everyone else :-)
5:23 pm
Jillyjill
Yipes, meant to post a warning before I started in...poor molly has probably fainted by now...
