3:29 am

scouser

Well it is raining here for the f5 time in weeks

3:30 am

ChrissieDee

We've still got snow in places, hasn't snowed for weeks though!

3:31 am

ChrissieDee

I always say we have a micro climate where I live

3:31 am

scouser

I went to NE Wales yesterday - still snow piled in hedges and corners there

3:32 am

ChrissieDee

That explains it, we must be twinned with a Welsh village :)

ChrissieDee

Thank you scouser

3:35 am

scouser

I got up a bit late this a.m. so usually I am offline by now

3:36 am

ChrissieDee

Maybe we'll have a good summer

3:36 am

ChrissieDee

Morning ruby ;)

3:40 am

rubyfoo

3:40 am

rubyfoo

this is the worst winter/spring we've had in 15 years!

3:41 am

Lizlin

It's unusually chilly at night here too for this time of year. Nothing compared to what you've got though!

3:41 am

Lizlin

I miss daffs and tulips.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

we never had a hard frost, so everybody (not us, TG) is sick

3:42 am

rubyfoo

3:43 am

Lizlin

Bet the dogs love the mud!

3:43 am

Lizlin

How are the dogs?

3:43 am

rubyfoo

Raffie looks like she has a black beard

3:44 am

Lizlin

Funny!

3:44 am

rubyfoo

Rufie has suddenly grown up and become very patient, calm and dignified and very handsome. He lets the puppy climb all over him and bite him etc. Very nice

3:44 am

Lizlin

How are her eyes?

3:44 am

ChrissieDee

Good for the complexion

3:44 am

Lizlin

That's cute about Rufie.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

They are teary and small but, aside from that, she is perfect, square and vry affectionate. but I don't think she'll be a great beautfy.

3:45 am

ChrissieDee

Oh ruby, how adorable is Rufie

3:45 am

Lizlin

As long as you think she's beautiful!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

She has tough competition from her predecessors but she'll be a great dog.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

The vet is knocked out by both of them

3:47 am

Lizlin

They're lucky to have such a loving owner.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I am very lucky

3:47 am

rubyfoo

and seeing them wrestle is amazing

3:47 am

Lizlin

Cute!

3:48 am

ChrissieDee

Snow melt + rain = swollen, raging brooks, creeks and rivers.

hi smores and everyone else

7:05 am

MLFAN17

hi smores and everyone else

7:05 am

crosshair

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!

7:05 am

crosshair

The capstone atop the Washington Monument is actually made of aluminum. The 100-ounce pyramid-shaped "stone" was placed on December 6, 1884, and was the largest aluminum object cast up to that time. It sounds like an odd choice today, but aluminum was very hard to produce at the time and was worth as much as silver ($24/oz in today's dollars).

7:06 am

mixi6

I knew that. thanks for the tidbit. crossy

7:06 am

Lizlin

I never realised it was anything other than stone!

7:07 am

smores

time to get daughter to school...back in a bit :)

7:07 am

MLFAN17

clue for the E first column which are el words right?

7:08 am

Lizlin

Think of trees! In the UK there was Dutch *** disease.

7:08 am

Lizlin

Then more of them and most.

7:09 am

Lizlin

Ahhhhh! PB for me!

7:09 am

MLFAN17

is the tree a 3 letter word?

7:10 am

Lizlin

Yes

7:10 am

MollyL

MLFan will be joining you in the PB Liz : D

7:10 am

Lizlin

PB for you too now!

7:10 am

Lizlin

Shame my bread isn't ready yet!

7:10 am

MLFAN17

oh lol

7:11 am

MollyL

I made some oatmeal bread last night. I'll put that out with some butter and jam.

7:12 am

Lizlin

Yum! have to wait til tomorrow for my challah to be ready!

7:12 am

MollyL

By the way Liz, you would have been proud of my Easter challah, it was gorgeous. : D

7:12 am

Lizlin

But that'll be shared in the PB!

7:13 am

Lizlin

I'm sure it was - did you plait it or is there another traditional Easter shape?

7:13 am

MollyL

Nope, to me, that bread is always braided.

7:13 am

Lizlin

Usually for us too - but for New Year it's round to symbolise circle of life.

7:13 am

MLFAN17

nbs

7:14 am

Lizlin

And renewal

7:14 am

MollyL

So you make yours a day ahead. What is it doing now, rising?

7:14 am

Lizlin

Yes, this rises overnight in the fridge.

7:15 am

Lizlin

Then we knead and plait it and leave it to rise for another hour before baking.

7:15 am

MollyL

I like the circle of life and renewal, that's nice.

7:15 am

mixi6

nbt, nbs

7:15 am

Michnick

How much do you make at a time Liz, I make about a dough with about 5 lb. of flour every week

7:16 am

Lizlin

Our recipe calls for 675 g of flour - and I make 2 at a time.

7:16 am

MollyL

Good Lord Mich, how many loaves does that make?

7:17 am

Michnick

How many challahs come out of that? I make 5 loaves and sometimes a few rolls as well.

7:17 am

Lizlin

Only 2 - but there are only 2 of us!

7:17 am

Lizlin

They're about 12 inches when plaited.

7:19 am

Michnick

Nice, I still have 3 kids at home, one away and 3 married, so when everyone, or even mostly everyone comes for Shabbat it's quite a houseful. I also sometimes give them fresh HOT challah for lunch on Friday. Makes me a popular Mommy.

7:19 am

Lizlin

It'd be good to make 5 at a time and freeze some but my food processor won't take that much flour!

7:19 am

car.eeyore

<---- wants fresh challah....

7:19 am

Michnick

You are invited Car. Can you get here by lunchtime tomorrow??

7:19 am

Lizlin

I love fresh warm challah! We warm ours before using it on Friday night!

7:19 am

car.eeyore

ummmmm.....

7:20 am

Michnick

Gotta go, kids want lunch!

7:20 am

car.eeyore

I never did tell you all...I LOVED the Shabbat service I went to!

7:20 am

MimiCat

Hi, everyone! You guys are making me hungry! Playing a little Babble before launching into my day with two job interviews...trying to stay calm and focused.

7:20 am

MollyL

Aw, another shiksa joins the tribe : D

7:20 am

Lizlin

Or you could come here, Car - not sure which is further! But our time zone makes it more impractical for tomorrow - 10.20 pm now!

7:20 am

car.eeyore

Oh good Mimi! I will send calming, focused, successful thoughts your way!

7:21 am

MimiCat

7:21 am

Lizlin

Oh Car - so pleased. Was your mode of dress OK in the end and did the kids you took enjoy it?

7:21 am

car.eeyore

<---- "Babble Air, please get gassed up. Its going to be a fast and furious flight...."

7:22 am

MimiCat

Molly, you're so funny!

7:22 am

Lizlin

With 2 stops I guess!

7:22 am

car.eeyore

I was appropriately dressed and we all had a BLAST! So much singing and the canter was awesome! The rabbi was a woman who just had the most amazing, warm and welcoming smile! It was confusing, but I really enjoyed it.

7:22 am

car.eeyore

Hello Molly!

7:22 am

Lizlin

Sounds great, Car :)

7:23 am

Lizlin

Mimi - lots of luck in the interviews :)

7:24 am

MimiCat

Thanks {Liz}.

7:24 am

car.eeyore

I was so taken aback and amused by the variety of yamulkas (?sp)! The band leader's was the blue & red Grateful Dead logo and there were many baseballs and basketballs as well!

7:25 am

Lizlin

I've seen them here with kangas and boomerangs! And the spelling is fine - yarmulka, kippa, couple - so many names and spellings for the same thing.

7:25 am

MimiCat

I think it's good when religion can maintain a sense of humor. If you don't think God has one, just look at us!

7:25 am

car.eeyore

No kidding, Mimi!

7:26 am

Lizlin

True :)

7:26 am

car.eeyore

It was so inviting and uplifting! As I said, I loved it!

7:26 am

Lizlin

I'm sure that they made you feel very welcome too.

7:26 am

car.eeyore

OK. Time for the bus and then straight to work. Got a nasty note from my boss last night about me being behind.

7:27 am

Lizlin

Grrr! Silly boss!

7:27 am

car.eeyore

No, she is right.

7:27 am

Lizlin

have a good day Car :)

7:27 am

car.eeyore

With all the funerals, auction of the house, etc. my head has not been where it should be.

7:27 am

MimiCat

Why do bosses do that? As if it really matters that much anyway. Have a great day, car. {{Hugs}}

7:28 am

Lizlin

You'd think your boss would understand that!!!!

7:28 am

car.eeyore

It does to the doctors waiting for their reports.

7:28 am

car.eeyore

And if I couldn't get the work done on time, I should have said so.

7:29 am

car.eeyore

Ok, I am off. Enjoy your day everyone! {{hugs}}

7:29 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go too - book calling! Reading Storm of Swords (Game of Thrones Book 3). Have a good day everyone :)

7:29 am

MimiCat

Yes, I'm a shiksa but my Jewish friends have been some of the most important relationships in my life. I considered converting for a time especially when I thought I was going to marry a Jewish man.

7:29 am

Lizlin

{{Hugs}} from me too!

7:29 am

MimiCat

Bye {{Liz}} and have a good one.

7:34 am

MimiCat

Am loving this grid! So many words found so quickly. I'm taking that as a good omen for my job hunt day!

7:44 am

MimiCat

Gotta get into my day...bbl. Hugs all around.

pippingeek

10:23 am

pippingeek

time to list

10:25 am

TraderKate

i went to the list right away, i shouldn't even be babbling today, so i'm trying to get ti done quickly

10:26 am

pippingeek

that's how i am, shouldnt even be here, but i wanted to say hi, and then the lure of the grid pulled me in!

10:27 am

TraderKate

babble is an addiction...
<standing> hello, my name is kate and i am a babbler ;)

10:44 am

o-o

These easy grids diminish the addiction

10:44 am

TraderKate

hi BR, i haven't seen you in a while. how are you keeping?

10:45 am

pippingeek

it's true, i feel so empty when it's over quickly

10:45 am

o-o

I am in acute distress and am seeking oblivion

10:46 am

TraderKate

why the distress?

10:46 am

o-o

I even stubbed my toe on the welcome mat

10:47 am

pippingeek

oh that's terrible!

10:48 am

TraderKate

ouch! not an auspicious start to the day :(

10:49 am

o-o

demons and dungeons the baddies are stomping around trying to make off with my emotional balance ... the world and I have never gotten along

10:49 am

TraderKate

you're still socked in with snow aren't you BR?

10:50 am

pippingeek

sounds like my month. hugs for you

10:50 am

o-o

snowing now

10:50 am

o-o

flooding is in the offing

10:52 am

TraderKate

oh, BR! take refuge in babbleland if it helps, we don't allow demons trolls and other baddies in here. will it soon pass?

10:52 am

Michnick

Babble, is it really snowing and flooding or is that part of your emotional weather map?

10:52 am

o-o

but I shouldn't complain ... if I was not crazy I'd be insane

10:52 am

o-o

the weather is real

10:53 am

Michnick

I had the closest thing I've ever had to a full blown angst/panic/depressive attack today. My married daughter is acting all weird with us. Very distressing and I don't feel like I can talk to anyone (except my husband) and I just want to cry!!

10:53 am

Michnick

That is one of my married daughters.

10:53 am

TraderKate

:) can i use that quote some itme BR? hopefully it warms up cvery gradually so the river doesn't rise as predicted.. looks like it will be a bad one :(

11:33 am

rubyfoo

Living in Miami spoiled me forever

11:33 am

rubyfoo

the ocean was as warm as a bath, what a pleasure

11:33 am

TraderKate

ah, lake erie is shallower, so it warms up nicely :)

11:34 am

rubyfoo

Lake Annecy is fed by underground springs and by snow fall runoff. It's about a mile across and I know peodple who regularly swim across

11:34 am

wvteach

grew up on Lake Michigan - which was always fairly chilly but you learned to get used to it

11:35 am

rubyfoo

I think they're insane!

WB crossy

11:36 am

uusue2

We are ok, woke up this morning to a flooded basement

11:36 am

rubyfoo

suze is a nasty, bitter aperitif liquor here

11:37 am

rubyfoo

oh no! Was it a broken water heater or did it come from the Fox river

11:37 am

wvteach

what caused the flood?

11:37 am

rubyfoo

(or the Chicago River)

11:37 am

TraderKate

poor sue, as if you don't have enough on yur plate...

11:37 am

bichon

hi ruby, teach, sue

11:38 am

uusue2

It's the drain, we've had a lot of rain and it backed up

11:38 am

rubyfoo

11:38 am

uusue2

Our local river is the Kishwaukee but we as not that close to it

11:39 am

rubyfoo

you need the Babble Mop Brigade

11:39 am

uusue2

I do indeed!

11:39 am

bichon

do you have a sump pump?

11:40 am

uusue2

Yes, and the areas of the basement around the sump pumps are dry

11:41 am

rubyfoo

naturally!

11:41 am

uusue2

But this is the new house, which we are renting, so the landlords are dealing with it

11:41 am

bichon

we get water in the basement when the ground is frozen or snow covered and it pours

11:41 am

pippingeek

that's the best

11:42 am

pippingeek

(the landlord part, not the flood, obvs)

11:42 am

rubyfoo

Before they put the phone and electrical wires undergroound, we used to have terrible flooding here but now it's only with protrcted rain when the drain backs up

11:42 am

TraderKate

se 5/16 and se 5/18 please?

11:42 am

pippingeek

5/16 would be like a font, sans se***

11:43 am

rubyfoo

11:43 am

TraderKate

ty pippin

11:43 am

pippingeek

and 5/18 is the system that backed up at sue's house

11:43 am

uusue2

7:11 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...I would think...

7:12 pm

lbdawger

being able to see the whole grid instead of sliding it up and down, and then fat finger syndrome...

7:12 pm

lbdawger

i will never be a texter! lol

7:13 pm

Jillyjill

I was doing some of it today on my smart phone...

7:13 pm

Jillyjill

But I am a texter....

7:14 pm

lbdawger

i can't imagine doing it on my phone. the tiny little letters would definitely have me in a spin.

7:14 pm

lbdawger

have a hard enough time with words with friends! lol

7:14 pm

gremlinn

I played a whole grid on my phone once. It was really frustrating how many times I had to backspace from a mistyped letter

7:14 pm

Jillyjill

It's pretty slow going...expand contract, expand, contract....

7:15 pm

gremlinn

And the on-screen keyboard kept pushing the grid out of sight, so I'd have to either keep going back, or try to remember where the letters where as I put words in

7:15 pm

lbdawger

my brain does that enough without adding to it...expand contract! lol Ugh, Gremlinn, i'd have given up

7:16 pm

gremlinn

I was at a laundromat with nothing better to do, heh

7:17 pm

lbdawger

i saw a kid "reading" on his smart phone. made my eyes cross just watching him. his nose was practically on the screen!

7:18 pm

Jillyjill

I read on mine all the time...LOL...there are some benefits to being nearsighted...

7:21 pm

Jillyjill

<-----!!FW!!

7:21 pm

lbdawger

i'm nearsighted, but i really do think i'd have to enlarge the words so much i'd be spelling the book! lol

7:21 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hoooo JILLY!!

7:24 pm

Jillyjill

It's like gremlinn....I use my phone when I have no other entertainment...LOL

7:24 pm

Jillyjill

Well, have a gathering to head to...bb later. Stay warm dawg!

7:25 pm

Jillyjill

7:51 pm

crosshair

thank god for ebook readers

7:52 pm

meliae

I love my Kindle I would honestly say that is the best present I have ever gotten, I started out with the very first version and have upgraded every time and now have the HD version (not the bigger screen one though)

7:53 pm

crosshair

sorry,i said god,i meant god,allah ,budda and the holy rooster

7:53 pm

crosshair

i use the barnes and noble nook versions of the reader,meliae,and tbh,i would be lost without it

7:55 pm

meliae

I kept my first one, it does not have back lighting but the battery lasts forever and since I can sinc between the two, I have twice the battery. Very handy when camping or somewhere where I do not have immediate recharge available.

7:55 pm

crosshair

and as a restricted canadaian who cannot buy a b+n reader like every one else ,i had to get my brother who live in nevada to smuggle it to me

7:56 pm

meliae

I have found myself re-reading all the old classics. Just recently finished Robinson Crusoe.

7:57 pm

crosshair

the classics are quite fun.i have lord jim waiting for me afer a arthur hailey novel

7:57 pm

meliae

oh that is terrible you cannot buy them in Canada, but I am glad you were able to get one.

7:57 pm

phandmd

hi there. hope all are well this evening.

7:58 pm

crosshair

yes indeed ,meliae,since the nook is a wide open file format unlike the nook,the nook was deemed a device that enables copyright imfringement

7:58 pm

meliae

7:58 pm
