hey all, took mother mac to a new physician today. he was amazed at how well she is....then he started asking questions, and relised how much her health was due to my intervention. *sigh* i just wish the rest of her family would come to the party, and actively help with her care.
12:56 am
grannyrose
i mean, the poor darling has diabetes, prednisolone-induced....and they have ALL loaded her up with chocolates for easter. grrrr
12:56 am
VolleymomDee
Unfortunately, that seems to be the norm for families. Why help if someone else is so efficient and good.
12:56 am
flosey
a feather in your cap rose, but yes, would be lovely if someone else would help out
12:57 am
VolleymomDee
How frustrating, rose.
12:57 am
grannyrose
now, i have to persuade her to take them to her social group and share them there.
12:58 am
VolleymomDee
Very smart to do that. Perhaps, she will feel like sharing. Otherwise, you may have to confiscate some.
12:58 am
flosey
can't they think perhaps flowers would be nice - and healthier for the poor soul
12:59 am
grannyrose
lol....with her short-term memory loss, she may not remember what she has received....but don't like to count on it.
12:59 am

flosey, that is what don and i gave her....her comment was....you always think of something pretty and different.
1:00 am
flosey
so she does appreciate them
1:01 am
flosey
lol, I typed my message to jilli in add word, forgetting wasn't using the lickety add
1:01 am
grannyrose
oh, yes, flosey. i think her first love is the garden and flowers. the rest of us rate a very poor second. lol
1:01 am
grannyrose
hey jilli
1:03 am
jillibus
hi granny -- and good for you, looking after her so well
1:06 am
grannyrose
thanx, jilli. and how are you? survived easter okay?
1:08 am
grannyrose
apropos to flosey's comment re flowers...mother mac is always tickled by how long i manage to keep a pot of cyclamen's alive. she really likes them so much....and so do i.
1:09 am
jillibus
my Easter was uneventful, granny. Had my next-door neighbours over for a quick drink on the sunny, warm deck in the evening, overlooking a lovely view over the water to Vancouver Island. They were just back from a holiday in Mexico.
1:10 am
grannyrose
and once theyhave totally finished flowering and are producing seed pods, i plant them in the garden, where they flower again and again, and grow new plants to boot.
1:11 am
jillibus
I have some cyclamens too, not looking very happy now after a winter period in the house.
1:12 am
grannyrose
awww, stop bragging jilli. have seen the view from your deck....one day i'm gonna sit there and enjoy that view for myself. *giggle*

Two problems with the new fridge and I'm on hold with the store And they still didn't take away the old one!
2:30 am
rubyfoo
Was your Easter wonderful and are you well-rested
2:30 am
grannyrose
that's my ruby....loves ya, hun
2:30 am
flosey
hi Ruby, was just away changing icon
2:30 am
grannyrose
thanx ruby and yes. but have 3 days straight ahead.
2:32 am
grannyrose
for goodness sake, ruby....didn't they understand instructions....and what is wrong with the new fridge?
2:34 am
rubyfoo
it came without an egg holder (I idn't notice when they arrived as I was so happy and relieved) ad one of te door handles is loose. If it's not one thing, it's something else
2:35 am
rubyfoo
I'm tearing my hair!
2:35 am
rubyfoo
The old fridge was too heavy for two men to lift over the railing, so they have to send 4 guys
2:37 am
grannyrose
awww, poor ruby. do you really need an egg holder? i usually throw mine into a cupboard, never to be seen again. lol
2:37 am
rubyfoo
I used a lot of eggs and we always have about 20 i the house
2:38 am
rubyfoo
at least they're not on the ounter if they're in the fridge
2:38 am
grannyrose
as for the handle...now that is an issue...hope it can be resolved ASAP
2:38 am
rubyfoo
We eat many eggs!
2:38 am
rubyfoo
if not, they'll have to replace the dridge; happily, it's guaranteed for 5 years
2:38 am
grannyrose
oh, okay...th4 the egg holder is a major upset, right?
2:39 am
rubyfoo
husband is back from the store. I sent him just to keep him busy. He wanders around like a lost soul., I'm not even bathe or dressed yes.
2:39 am
rubyfoo
Not major, just one more thing!
2:39 am
grannyrose
*giggle* guessing egg holder plus removal of old fridge is a plausible option.
2:40 am
rubyfoo
bathed* , yet*
2:40 am
grannyrose
hope it all happens quickly for you, hun.

6:07 am
Davgelb
anyone know why "panko" is not accepted?
6:07 am
lynxxx
what would that mean?
6:08 am
Davgelb
the Japanese style breadcrumbs you can buy in any supermarket
6:09 am
lynxxx
I guess because is is either a Brand name or not in common enough usage
6:10 am
Davgelb
it's not a brand name, for sure. And "common" usage isn't exactly how this game works, lol.
6:11 am
pabtrek
maybe it's too new, enable doesn't recognize internet either
6:11 am
lynxxx
well for instance - cafe is accepted but not amore. Lots of spanish words - I am guessing because spanish/mexican is in common usage in the States.
6:12 am
lynxxx
hi Pabtrek
6:12 am
pabtrek
hi lynxxx
6:12 am
Davgelb
we've been cooking with panko crumbs for years. Oh well.
6:13 am
lynxxx
part of the charm of Babble
6:14 am
rbud
have you seen jillbus's theory of who compiled Enable, the dictionary Babble uses? it's a hoot.
6:14 am
lynxxx
yes...good def
6:16 am

always makes me giggle
6:21 am

gm, everyone! clue for the th5.12 plz?
6:34 am
pabtrek
greek letter
6:35 am
lbdawger
>*))<<, thank you Pab
6:35 am
Davgelb
sorry, can you explain what the shorthand means? th5, 12?
6:36 am
pabtrek
starts with th has 5 letters and total word value is 12
6:36 am
lbdawger
th=first two letters of the word, 5=number of letters in the word 12= points for the word
6:37 am
lbdawger
if you go to the bottom the this page, "friends of Babble", find Lickety's Babble Clues, click the link and you will see a list,
6:38 am
pabtrek
If you look at help it explains how the scoring works
6:40 am
Davgelb
thanks again. Well, maybe you can advance a theory as to why panko isn't accepted.
6:42 am
lbdawger
lots of reasons, tho most don't make any logical sense. welcome to the land of babble, Davgelb
6:42 am
pabtrek
well I looked up panko and it seems to be from both Portuguese and Japanese maybe Enable doesn't like multilingual words
6:43 am
Davgelb
that seems pretty unlikely, considering how many words are like that.
6:44 am
lbdawger
the computer program may have just overlooked it as a valid word today.
6:45 am
pabtrek
there seems to be no logic to what Enable accepts as a word and that is very annoying to a half Vulcan such as myself :)
6:46 am
lbdawger
tadone!! finito!! not a bad grid for a small one.
6:46 am
pabtrek
congrats dawg
6:46 am

Molly! how wonderful that you remembered! I think so, but lets ask the other member....
7:05 am

he was....surprised, let's say, at how we interact with each other.
7:06 am
MollyL
Glad to hear he was not reduced to a trembling puddle.

Trifioso
primo is taking a class next term called "financial literacy." 1. I think it's AMAZINGLY smart to teach that class at an art school. 2. I wish I could take it.
7:08 am
MollyL
I agree. Too many kids get out of college, go out on their own and have no clue how to manage their money.
7:09 am
Trifioso
on a serious note - I thought beloved did great at meal. glad you did too,car.
7:11 am

I am quite sure I have heard the word "Viri" before....isn't it the plural of virus?

7:24 am
Trifioso
I am so glad you are watching it,Scrabbler. My hope is that once people see that well written,well produced, SMART shows gain a global audience, tv execs will take a hint, and we will get more shows like that, and less "real housewife" type drivel
7:24 am
periwinkle
ty car
7:24 am
periwinkle
indeed Trif. I can't stand those reality shows. never watch them
7:25 am
MollyL
Sadly Trif, it's not the execs who keep those shows on. It's the people who watch them.
7:25 am
Scrabbler
I often consider canceling cable TV because I wonder if the expense is worth it.
7:25 am
Trifioso
nor i peri. well, except Project Runway. It's a show about SEWING....swoon!

Am I the only person who does not see the appeal of Honey Boo-Boo?
7:25 am
BzznBea
Love Project Runway.
7:25 am
MollyL
And the ones that really bug me are Toddlers & Tiaras and Honey Boo Boo. Who thinks watching that is worth their time?
7:26 am
Mom
<---- cancelled cable in January. Not a bit sorry.
7:26 am

I have never heard of that show, car
7:27 am
Scrabbler
Every month when I pay my cable TV bill I think about cancelling. I might follow you, Molly.
7:27 am
Mom
it is only my sweetie and me and neither of us miss it.
7:27 am
Trifioso
pregnant at16 seems a bad idea....hey, lets get pregnant so we can get on TV!
7:27 am

Mom canceled, I still have mine.

The only drawback to me was Dallas on TNT and Madmen on AMC both I can get on Itunes the next day for $1.99, much cheaper than cable. We saved $90/mo getting rid of cable

7:33 am

RD, you are separated now? Sorry, I didn't know.
7:33 am
72 Temple Owl
i am not sure how to get tiv sans able , unless i get an antenna?
7:33 am
Scrabbler
I have no 7s
7:33 am
Riverdance
divorce is now final - he is still living in the house temporarily but everything has been switched over to me
7:34 am
Mom
I enjoyed it. It doesn't have the glamour and all that Downton Abbey has since it is a working class (department store)_ but I am interested in it enough to watch it again to see where it goes
7:34 am
periwinkle
I looke back in the chat, so I know what the 7's start with
7:34 am
Scrabbler
I didn't know. How are you and the kids?
7:34 am
Riverdance
I dont have any 7's either
7:34 am
Mom
TO, we bought antennas that connect to the tv's and reception is great.
7:34 am
Scrabbler
Are there any -tion words?
7:35 am
Riverdance
I am doing OK and so are the kids - easy for my daughter as she is away at college. Since he is still in the house there is no change for my son - once he moves out we are splitting custody - one week on one week off
7:35 am
Mom
River, that has to be awkward having him still living there
7:35 am
72 Temple Owl
well, i am going to get a new roof and an antenna will void the warranty.
7:35 am
Scrabbler
It will, Owl?
7:36 am
Riverdance
It is but I told him he could stay until his house is done as it does help me financially. Once he is out, I will have to make some changes
7:36 am
Mom
we did not want an antenna on the roof so we went with the indoor antennas.
7:36 am
Scrabbler
I live in a rural area so an antenna wouldn't help.
7:36 am
Mom
will his house be nearby?
7:37 am
Riverdance
1/2 mile up the street - we had bought property years ago at the dead end of our street - he will be building there and I keep the existing house
7:37 am
72 Temple Owl
yes. it requires penetrating the shingles. and what is there to eat inthe pb this am, since we are going there? what a oincidence!
7:37 am
Mom
we actually get more local stations without cable
7:37 am
Riverdance
I live in the woods so we would get nothing even with an antenna
7:37 am
Mom
that will be nice for your son
7:38 am
Scrabbler
Aha, an7 is my first 7!!
7:38 am
Riverdance
and I guess we can all have breakfast together in the PB
7:39 am
Scrabbler
*making eggs, toast, pancakes, waffles, fruit salad*
7:39 am
Mom
we are all in the PB aren't we..... sets the table, fries the eggs, cooks the bacon and sausage, butters the toast and pours the juice
7:39 am
Riverdance
lol - me too scrabs
7:39 am
Riverdance
I start the bacon and sausage
7:39 am

Hi To! Hi River!
7:41 am

He is 8. This has been a tough school year for him...but it actually started at the end of last year.
7:41 am
72 Temple Owl
hi car! school phobia?
7:41 am
car.eeyore
Academically he is brilliant. He has friends at school. He just likes to be home.
7:41 am
car.eeyore
He doesn't like it when the other kids behave badly. It really upsets him.
7:42 am
Scrabbler
Does he have difficulty with overstimulating environments? Read: The Highly Sensitive Child by Elaine Aron.
7:42 am
MollyL
Is he getting any help with that?
7:43 am
Scrabbler
It's true, Car, so much of the school day involves misbehavior in the classroom.
7:43 am
car.eeyore
the guidance counselor, his teacher and I talk often and work together to try to figure out what will help him. Some of it is he just wants to be home with his video games, but he knows that if he IS home sick he cannot play them.
7:44 am
Scrabbler
Is he being academically challenged enough?
7:44 am
car.eeyore
Yes. He has a fifth grade buddy he meets with.
7:45 am

8:12 am
sprite

8:12 am
car.eeyore

8:18 am
car.eeyore
we have had an odd start to the year...7 deaths of friends, acquaintances, etc. Its been surreal.
8:19 am
sprite
that is always a problem... I cannot lie for long. Nor sit nor stand nor walk. So I am in bed until my pelvic girdle is acting up, th4 get out until I cannot stand the dizziness anymore, then go to the kitchen and lean on the sink... and back to bed. It would make a great cartoon.
8:19 am
sprite

8:31 am
sprite
oh... omg I should know that one.... *thunks*
8:31 am
hurshy
no americans would know that word unless they took note of it in an agatha christie book, or like, maybe lawyers, but not ordinary people, so you shouldn't feel bad.

hurshy

8:41 am
hurshy
it could be 5/12 and 4/5
8:42 am
hurshy
which i think it must cause i can't see a way to do a 4/7
8:43 am
sprite
there is no 4/7 in either H nor N

hurshy
hence me not being able to see a way to make one

HI TK; I just got here. How are you this sunny day?
1:33 pm
TraderKate
little tired, snowing here - NOT impressed...
how are you doing? recovered form your bug yet?
and is hubby doing better as well?
1:34 pm
Nef
DH and I are both doing well; thanks for asking. Snow? I'm glad you are East of me then! (we still have tons of snow in our yard but are starting to see spots of green grass for the first time in nearly 7 months)
1:35 pm
TraderKate
blue jays home opener today - vs cleveland indians
1:36 pm
Nef
Twins home opener was yesterday, temp was 32 degrees (F) and the stadium was sold out (crazy Minnesotans who voted for an open air stadium!
1:36 pm
Nef
we lost, btw.... :-(
1:37 pm
TraderKate
we are within a few degrees of breaking cold records for the day here... i guess we're paying for the very mild february... i just realized that the forsythia bushes have not bloomed yet!
it's a good thing baseball has such a long season... pleanty of time to catch up :)
1:38 pm
TraderKate
are you just starting the grid or is this round 2 lol...
1:38 pm
Nef
very true about the long season. yeah, my forsythia bushes haven't even considered blossoming yet; it's been too cold for that
1:39 pm
Nef
I'm just starting; it doesn't look fun so far
1:40 pm
Deeha
At least ypou had a mild February. It is still bitter here. Our bChjristmas Fund raiser was snowed offr, we couldnt belive it when the Easter one was snowed offr too!!. There was a sprinkling of snow in my garden when I got up yesterday
1:40 pm
TraderKate
it's been a very strange winter this year... we didn't get any days even close to minus 20 (c), but had very little snow accumulation... most people only used their snow blower once this year (we're in the snow belt, directly south of buffalo across the lake/niagara river) the ground barely froze too. we have had mostly bare grass for some time now
1:41 pm
Nef
hi Deeha; this year is crazy, isn't it?
1:42 pm
Deeha
10 days ago cars where being dug out of drifts 9-10 feet high where the occupants had been in them all night - that is very unusual here
1:43 pm
Nef
And we've had a bitterly cold year with lots of snow. But, they say we've just been about 5 degrees (F) below normal and have just 6 inches more snow that the "average" for the past 100 years. The problem is it's coming and staying longer than usual this year
1:43 pm
Deeha
Hi Nef -it has rained here almost constantly for a year. We haveniow had two days dry - I am expecting a drought nwarning imminently!!
1:43 pm
TraderKate
nice to meet you dee :)
you're lucky you aren't a lot further north... or in ireland/scotland - they have been slammed!
were the drifts where you are??? i thought you were dealing with record flooding at your end of the fairest isle...
1:44 pm
Nef
WOW, Deha! I'm impressed! I didn't know Great Britain got MN weather!
1:44 pm
Nef
Deeha (sorry about mis-spelling your name)
1:45 pm
Deeha
Actually a drought warninbg was declared last April - hose pipe bans etc - the next day it started raining and it didnt stop the entire summer and Autumn!!
1:45 pm
TraderKate
quick! take advantasge of the dry days to clear up the garden!!!!
1:46 pm
Deeha
Didnt even notice Nef - I've got rhe wrong glasses on!!
1:46 pm
Nef
LOL! And we should believe the weather reports, right?
1:47 pm
TraderKate
the watering ban is hillarious, considering what actually transpired ;)
there's a movemnt here to impeach all the north american ground hogs for misrepresenting the spring forecast....
1:48 pm
Deeha
Oh shame - cant blame it all on them!! They arent responsible for global warming!
1:49 pm
Nef
I think we should just blame the one that they used, TK. Pucsatawee Phil (or whatever his name is) should be the one to blame, not all of them.
1:49 pm
Nef
Very true, Deeha. we've screwed up our poor planets weather; not the ground hogs
1:50 pm
TraderKate
almost all the ground hogs were wrong; i think the exception was the one in halifax, whose name i cnnot remember atm... the one near crossy, karleecat and myself was very wrong...
1:51 pm
TraderKate
it's not that i don't believe in global warming... but 2 seasons does not a trend make - there are always "out-lier"years...
1:51 pm
Nef
Deeha, your picture in you profile is HUGE; but you sure have cute kids there! Are they your grandchildren?
1:52 pm
Deeha
Dont know what happened there, it was fine one day and when I tried to change it it went HUGE. Dont know what to do to remedy it.
1:53 pm
TraderKate
back in 5, going blind trying to fine the last 30 words (sans list :) )
1:56 pm
Nef
Deeha, there is a way to fix it; but I don't know how either. I think jilli had a way to fix it in her profile at one time. (I'm on a Mac so I don't do things like PC people)
1:59 pm
Nef
here, I copied this from her profile for you: To resize big photos and/or crop to a square for use as an icon, see http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ or
http://www.shrinkpictures.com/creat\ne-avatar/
2:01 pm
TraderKate
i still need the 4th row i for nbt, any help there?
2:01 pm

2:02 pm
TraderKate

2:20 pm
TraderKate
congratulations jill!!! well done with so few words found :)
i can cook basic curry jill, but only by using pre-made spice mixes like sharwood's curry powder/paste... i wuld like to learn how to make it from scratch, using the tumeric etc...
2:20 pm
lilliann
i won't be coming to the bbq then jilly :(that's what i was going to have, cod loin and griddled asparagus.i still fancy asparagus.maybe i will make a vegetable cheese
2:21 pm
Nef
back. Food is a wonderful topic; I love reading what people are eating and their likes/dislikes.
2:21 pm
TraderKate
<---- would prefer to come to liliann's for tea .. sounds simple and yummy
2:22 pm
Jillyjill
There are a few needed items for true curry from scratch..that can be hard to find, including lemon grass, I am going to try and find some to grow for myself.
2:22 pm
TraderKate
jill - if you have a recipe you'd like to pass on for curry...
2:22 pm
Nef
Jilly, we've never been very sucessful doing fish on the grill. Somehow we always over cook it
2:23 pm
Jillyjill
One of the best web sites in the world for cooking is Allrecipes.com You can find all sorts of ethnic foods-they get rated by people so you can sort through the good ones
2:23 pm
lilliann
i bought my mam some curry recipe books and she buys alot of her curry spices from england when she is here.france are now doing more curried spices but not like here and they always have an indian take-away when they come here as there aren't any where they live
2:23 pm
TraderKate
lemon grass is available in many asian markets - especially thai (missing toronto shopping)
2:23 pm
Jillyjill
Nef, the key is not over cooking and to have the correct fish and correct equipment.
2:24 pm
TraderKate
i have seen that site jill, thanks for the reminder
when you do fish on the barbie - do you plank it or wrap it in foil?
2:24 pm
Jillyjill
Yes TK, it is hit and miss in our local markets and there aren't a whole lot of ethnic grocers even in Missoula north of us.
2:24 pm
lilliann
ty tk.it'll just be steamed veg with dijjon mustard cheese sauce and some sprinkled ontop to grill.if only i had some crusty bread
2:25 pm
Nef
I think we have the grill too hot also, Jilly. What kinds of fish do you use?
2:26 pm
Jillyjill
30 years ago when we were first married we were stationed in the CA valley. Heat factor with no AC alone got me to learn how to grill just about anything and everything!
2:26 pm
Jillyjill
Nef, if you have a grilling basket most any fish actually. If not then the dense fish like salmon, halibut and mahimahi are good.
2:26 pm
Nef
Jilly, do you evr go to the farmers market in Msla on Saturdays?
2:27 pm
TraderKate
< drooling > @ liliann ... well, now i will have to go to the shops on my way home, have the dijon and cheese... need asparagus and fresh crusty bread
jill - i'm surprised yu don't get a better asian selection on the west coast - tons of it in b.c.
2:27 pm
Jillyjill
Remember...I'm in Montana...LOL not so ethnic, more meat and potatoes
2:28 pm
lilliann
i will use whatever veg i have tk, so it'll have carrots,asparagus,sprouts,broccoli and french beans
2:28 pm
Jillyjill
Oh and Nef, use of bastes and flavored butters are good to keep fish moist. Sunset magazine has a great cookbook on cooking fish in all aspects.
2:29 pm
Nef
I'm pretty sure you can get lemon grass at MSLA's Farmers Market. (My brother used to sell veggies there all the time; my family does lots of Asian cooking
2:29 pm
Jillyjill
Ooo.yummy lilliann!
2:29 pm
Jillyjill
Oh, and how is your darling daughter doing lilliann?
2:29 pm
TraderKate
ah, for some reason, i was thinking you were in washington or oregon, sorry jill... guess yu'll have to grow your own or eat steak... :)
2:29 pm
lilliann
i normally do a vegetable chees instead of just cauliflower as i can then get my daughter to eat more veg, and sometimes it nice just to have a vegetarian meal
2:29 pm
Jillyjill
That is what I am waiting for Nef, if I can get some with roots I can propogate my own from now on
2:30 pm
TraderKate
is there any chance of ordering seeds for lemon grass from the net?
2:30 pm
Jillyjill
TK, I do have a great shrimp curry soup I could put on my profile if you would like...
2:30 pm
lilliann
she is doing very well ty jilly.she has moments but overall,brilliant.she has been very lucky.she is away until friday with her grandad up in scotland
2:31 pm
Jillyjill
They say it grows better from a root stalk
2:31 pm
Jillyjill
Oh, how fun lilliann! And whatever happened with your holiday?
2:31 pm
lilliann
do you not have a garden centre tk, where you could get a plant from?
2:32 pm
HollyF
I have no clue what I did, the box at the top with "resources" etc disappeared, as well as the refresh boxes, there's no list to the left, any help would be appreciated
2:32 pm
Jillyjill
So sorry holly, what do you need?
2:33 pm
HollyF
I've tried signing in and signing out I want my old look back, worry to whine
2:33 pm
HollyF
I meant sorry
2:33 pm
lilliann
it was brilliant jill.we had a fantastic time and are looking at maybe going back for christmas as we don't want to take her out of school as she has had alot of time off even though i've just received her school report and she is doing really well even with having the accident.so i'm very happy and proud at the moment.the only thing is, mexico is, mexico is really expensive at christmas
2:33 pm
TraderKate
jill, i just googled lemon grass seeds - nad the reswults gave plants too.. e-bay and several others listed.. plants seem to run about 10 bucks (plus shipping i expect)
2:34 pm
Jillyjill
So happy for you lilliann! We sure liked Hawaii and want to go back there also...
2:34 pm
lilliann
i was going to suggest signing in and out again tk.i'm not good with computors, sorry
2:35 pm
HollyF
I think I'm being punished for playing at work
2:35 pm
Jillyjill
TY TK, but might as well see if the Missoula Farmers Market has it--there are tons of asian marketers and I am sure somehow I will locate lemon grass
2:35 pm
Jillyjill
LOL....holly...that must be it..
2:36 pm
lilliann
i want to go there too jill. in fact there are too many places. i need to win the lottery.oh, that rememnds me, i have lucky dips for the euromillions tonight.i'll have to check the numbers later when it is drawn

Hope springs eternal lilliann...here too
2:37 pm
lilliann
i'm not a lucky person jill, as winning things
2:38 pm
Nef
holly, Maybe try closing that browser andopening a different one? People were having trouble with a browser the other night (can't remember if it was IE or FireFox; I can't use either since my mac doesn't let me)
2:39 pm
HollyF
Great advice, I'll try that, thanks Nef

6:41 pm
Nef
hi again. Anyone around? I was here early this afternoon and the grid finally blinded me; just back now
6:41 pm
Nef
Take a deep breath and put your feet up sue. :-)
6:45 pm
Nef
Dang! DH is gone to one of his mens meetings; I'm all alone (yay!) and I just squirted a roasted tomato all over my keyboard!
6:46 pm
uusue2
hi nef! bummer about the tomato!
6:47 pm
Nef
(I'm eating supper at the computer; I wouldn't do that if DH were home; we eat at the table normally
6:48 pm
uusue2
ah. That makes sense.
6:49 pm
Nef
I'm going to have to pop off keys here to clean it; that was one juicy tomato!
6:50 pm
Nef
How are you doing, sue? Still settling in? How's Frank doing?
6:52 pm
uusue2
we are ok, nef, Frank is still recovering from the flu and is getting more weary from the chemo
6:52 pm
uusue2
we still have some things to move but the rest may have to wait until the weekend; Frank doesn't have the energy to do it and I don't have the energy either after a full day of work
6:54 pm
Nef
(((Sue and Frank))) I can only imagine how weary he is! Just having the flu and chemo would wear a person out; but then a move thrown in too? Both of you needs some rest!
6:55 pm
uusue2
we do indeed, nef! Maybe soon...
6:55 pm
Lizlin
Hi Sue and Nef :)
6:55 pm
uusue2
Frank was going to go to the other house when we got home today but I told him not to; he is really too tired
6:56 pm
Lizlin
I hope you do get some rest soon!
6:57 pm
uusue2
I hope so too...
6:57 pm
Lizlin
Sorry to read that Frank's had flu on top of the chemo. Hope he feels better soon - you stay well, too!
6:59 pm
uusue2
working on it, liz - I need my rest too but sometimes it is hard to balance my needs with his
7:02 pm
Lizlin
BBL - got to hang the washing out :(
7:06 pm
Nef
sorry, the doorbell rang and the handyman came to trim out the new egress window in the basement. I may be in and out this evening.
7:08 pm
Nef
Sue, did you sell your old place and buy a new home? I kind of missed a few things along the way this winter...
7:08 pm

7:14 pm
alembick
Nef, I haven't played in a long time. I am on spring break and my mom was up visiting and got me re-hooked. My mom is roundbarn.
7:15 pm
alembick
Thank you for the welcome
7:15 pm
uusue2
I am struggling with the ni words; I have the ni5 but not the ni4 or ni7
7:15 pm
uusue2
ah, I've been corresponding with your mom, alembick, she sent me some of her books
7:15 pm
uusue2
I haven't had time to read them yet but am looking forward to them
7:16 pm
uusue2
ok, got the ni4, there are too many i's in this grid
7:16 pm
alembick
yes and she was planning to come say hello but then the snowstorm and your many things going on, she didn't think it was that great of a time to stop. She still wants to
7:16 pm
uusue2
yes, I'd like to meet her too. We're not that far apart; I'm sure we'll get together at some point
7:17 pm
Nef
alembick; your Mom said she's coming to the Twin Cities sometime this summer and asked if we could meet. I'm excited about that. :-)
7:18 pm
Nef
the ni 7 is the chemical in hot dogs and other foods like that to prserve them
7:19 pm
Nef
the ni4 is when you sleep, sue
7:19 pm
alembick
Nef, she probably told you we have relatives up there and my sister used to live there. :( That would be fun. She has been really enjoying boggling with you all!
7:20 pm
alembick
I am going to depart, thanks for the chat!
7:20 pm
Nef
Oooh, alembick; it's BABBLING; not boggling. ;-)
7:21 pm
uusue2
thanks, got them, nef!
7:21 pm
uusue2
and bye, alembick!
7:26 pm
Nef
interesting how people are related to other people here.
7:27 pm
Nef
or rather, which people are related or know each other....
7:27 pm
Lizlin
Hi again :)
7:28 pm
Lizlin
You're right Nef - I know I've been guilty of chatting with family and confusing people! My hubby's ex and also his son's girlfriend!
7:28 pm
LeslieAnn
pardon?
7:28 pm
Nef
oh, wow! That would be confusing!
7:29 pm
uusue2
It helps to meet people - I now can tell stidmama and stidgmere apart with no problem :-)
7:29 pm
LeslieAnn
oohhhhh i read that as "my hubby's ex IS his son's girlfriend." THAT would be an issue
7:29 pm
Lizlin
It's cool really. We get on well with my hubby's ex - she and her partner have been to stay with us a couple of times when they've been in Aus!
7:29 pm
Lizlin
I now understand your confusion!
7:29 pm
Nef
LOL, sue. :-) I've never met them in person, but I've never confused them either.
7:30 pm
Lizlin
And we've stayed with them in the UK!
7:30 pm
uusue2
you would like them, nef, they are both very sweet
7:30 pm
Lizlin
I've also never confused them but the computer sometimes auto corrects them into each other!
7:30 pm
uusue2
and yes, leslie, that would be an issue indeed! !!
7:31 pm
Nef
I hope to meet them someday, sue. I hope to meet several Babblers someday
7:31 pm
uusue2
I do think it's kind of funny when relatives start chatting with each other here, gives an interesting inside view
7:32 pm
Lizlin
8 left here and now struggling a bit!
7:33 pm
Lizlin
Monkeys working - down to 6
7:34 pm
uusue2
I am listing
7:34 pm
Lizlin
Me too now!
7:36 pm
Nef
I'm listing at 25 left. I just can't see any other words
7:38 pm
uusue2
I'm down to 7 but I listed at 30-something
7:38 pm
Lizlin
I listed at about 17, when I came back this morning. Down to 3 now - an h and 2 x p!
7:39 pm
Nef
thanks for saying that, sue. I was feeling dim-witted
7:39 pm
Lizlin
Should never feel dim witted at babble. Some of the words are just so weird!
7:39 pm
uusue2
they are indeed!!
7:40 pm
uusue2
fireworks!
7:40 pm
Lizlin
I'd happily accept any clues for ho 5 /12 or the 2nd pa 5 /12 or pe 6 /21!!!!
7:40 pm
Lizlin
Congrats Sue :)
7:42 pm
Nef
YAY, sue!!! WTG!!!
7:43 pm
uusue2
ho5/12 is like co*** the barbarian
7:43 pm
Nef
ho5 rhymes with a late night talk show host with red hair
7:43 pm
Nef
and what sue said
7:44 pm
uusue2
for the second pa5/12 remove the last letter from the pa6/21 right after it
7:44 pm
uusue2
the pe6/21 has the same first four letters as the pe5/12 before it, then ends in not off
7:45 pm
Lizlin
Thanks for the ho - I knew the barbarian but not the talk show host! I think that's the 3 rd pa though, Nef!
7:45 pm
Lizlin
ty for the pe - I'd tried that with a single mid consonant!
7:46 pm
Lizlin
Sorry that was Sue, not Nef for that pa 5 /12!
7:46 pm
uusue2
oh, right, the second pa doubles the consonant in the pa4 just before it
7:46 pm
Lizlin
So it does! Ty for all the clues! Fireworks!
7:47 pm
uusue2
ok, must go defrost some fish. see you all later!
7:47 pm
Lizlin
See you later Sue. Have a good evening. Unless any clues are needed, I'm also off!
7:47 pm
Nef
YAY, Lizkin!!!! WTG!!!
7:48 pm
Nef
Bye sue; HAGD!
7:49 pm
Nef
I'm going to just keep plugging away at this, Liz. You don't have to stick around for me. :-)
7:50 pm
Lizlin
OK - I'll be here on and off! Enjoy your evening :)
8:03 pm
gapeach

8:23 pm

8:26 pm
Lizlin
Glad to see the return of panda :)
8:26 pm
smores
thanks liz :)
8:26 pm
Lizlin
pe 5 /12 - like a type of pasta but with a diff vowel ending
8:27 pm
Lizlin
oops! Not one of the last 2 - sorry!
8:27 pm
Nef
if you aren't on a Mac, pen, you can ask Drgod for BabbleExpert and it works really slick (or so I've been told. I'm on a Mac.)
8:27 pm
Lizlin
pe 5 /12 - penultimate - rhymes with French word for small
8:27 pm
Lizlin
Change the final vowel for the last one.
8:28 pm
Nef
kind of like pe*** theft; only change the last letter twice
8:29 pm
smores
Bye for now liz :)
8:29 pm
Nef

someone criticized a friend of mine, a high profile crim atty, said he was 'sleazy' for representing the 'dregs' - he said this to my husband, not knowing that i respect this man. i swear i don't know how he sleeps at night, but i respect him 100%

it amazes me how easily some people just assume you're guilty, and then get mad if you actually have the lawyer you are entitled to
9:08 pm
welki
happens every day, gwen
9:09 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hey, no prob, welki. (the email, i mean)
9:09 pm
welki
or - assume you're guilty because you do have the best lawyer for the job
9:09 pm
jmcnrick
i personally hate the prosecutors who say if you are innocent you have nothing to worry about and you don't need a lawyer. . .
9:09 pm
jmcnrick
and the cops who say that. . .
9:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i have very littel direct experience with courts, but i once was offered a plea bargain for a traffic ticket (!)
9:11 pm
welki
we're not so different, jmc
9:11 pm

*lol* do tell, gwen
9:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yes, cops are human and they can make mistakes
9:12 pm
jmcnrick
no, i was just th***ing we should rule the world. . .
9:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
well, the ticket was for cutting through a parking lot to avoid a corner, which was totally bogus. so i went to court . . .
9:13 pm
welki
and the pros offered you a deal at trial?
9:13 pm
jmcnrick
4 left. . .
9:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
. . . and waited for my case to come up, lots of us in the courtroom, listening to other cases, when city atty calls a bunch of us into a separate room and offers us a plea bargain
9:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
. . . he said, pay $110 and go home now, no points, or go beofre the judge, and if you lose, pay $170 and get points on your record. OY
9:14 pm
welki
for the guilty, that's a good deal - for you, obviously not :)
9:14 pm
nrkii
BDG, same thing just happened to me!
9:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(maybe it was $105, don't recall the exact amount) . . . but I knew i was "innocent" so i said i'll go before the judge, TYVM
9:15 pm
Minveryork
I will wait for you jmcnrick to enter my last word so we can get fireworks together. Let me know when you are ready.
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
3 left. . . i am getting there min. . .
9:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the funny part is, so, back in the courtroom, listening to other cases, waiting for my turn, and the judge comments, "i know the city attorney is offering you all plea bargains, and i don't like it, but that's the way he likes to do things"
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
he doesn't have to agree to the bargain seems to me. . .
9:16 pm
Minveryork
I'm in no rush. I have been saving last word since 10:50 this morning jmcnrick. What is just a few more minutes?
9:17 pm
welki
keep in mind that many people just set trial dates for the opportunity to make a deal - and it sometimes works. but the trial process is in place for those who want to present their evidence/defence. i get it, i get both sides
9:17 pm
Minveryork
Hi there nrkii!How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log.
9:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
needless to say, i won my case, mainly because 1) i didn't do it (i had a diagram and everything) and b. the cop said something stupid. HA ha ha ha ha

well, this was a minor traffic violation, not an accident or anything
