Bugsaw

hey stid. I am suprised to see you still up. Is your hip okay?

1:16 am

stidmama

bugs, how is mr bugs? I was sorry we couldn't stay and visit longer on Monday.

1:16 am

m9f9l

Woah.. croc babies become girls or boys depending on the temperature of their nest.

1:16 am

stidmama

My hip is good. Tom fixed it last night when I got here and this morning, and it's good again. Having a decent mattress (finally) is making a huge difference

1:17 am

Bugsaw

he is fine. He was gelcoat painting on fibreglass and it turned out well for him so he is happy

1:17 am

m9f9l

Oh stid.. I'm SO glad you got a good mattress!

1:17 am

stidmama

I hope you didn't have too much clean-up to do after our visit...

1:17 am

stidmama

nice! fiberglass can be SO difficult to get right.

1:17 am

stidmama

As I recall it tends to either set up WAY too fast or it sticks and bags and sags in strange ways.

1:17 am

jillibus

Good to hear, bugs -- and glad your hip is fixed, stid. Was it okay whenyou were here? It seemed to be.

1:18 am

Bugsaw

nope, I just got to eat some tofu desserts!

1:18 am

stidmama

It was fine when I was at your place, jill. :-)

1:18 am

stidmama

Even our cross country expedition didn't bother me.

1:18 am

stidmama

LOL those are really nice, aren't they? I was a bit disappointed, I have never seen them around here!

1:18 am

Bugsaw

we did a lot of walking and climbing in and out of cars before it slipped on her again jill

1:19 am

Bugsaw

I thought they were new to you last year.

1:19 am

stidmama

I

1:19 am

stidmama

Yes, they were new, and I was so excited to find them again. LOL so now I have to come back sooner...

1:20 am

Bugsaw

I will have to bring a case when I come to your place

1:21 am

jillibus

cross country, rofl! (We walked through my "woods" to the next door neighbour's).

1:21 am

stidmama

oh and bugs, I met a wonderful young man in Duncan, the "totem pole tour guide" for the day. He knew some Cowichan. Their word for frog is clearly from the same origin as the Lushootseed! So I wondered what the Cowichan word for salmon (generic) would be, but he couldn't remember, and then I couldn't even remember the one I know. I remembered it this evening though. "suladhw" -- it's a swimming sound.

1:22 am

m9f9l

stats please for bottom E??

1:22 am

Bugsaw

don't forget Chummis

1:22 am

jillibus

stid and bugs -- did you see the video about Cowichan I sent you?

1:22 am

stidmama

and waq'waq' (the q' is a clicking sound and the a is more like a schwa) is Lushootseed but s'wuckus (spelling is off) is the Cowichan. so close.

1:22 am

stidmama

Chummis?

gapeach

It truly is, pug. It means so much to know that we have friends available 24/7.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Just doing a fly by hello as going to parents (which i do not mind) just wanted to give a hug to my fav babblers ((Sprite)) ((Peach)) ((Puglet)) ((Rose)) ((Ruby))..That was not in any particular orser...bye for now Babble friends.

4:09 am

puglet

I was just thinking along the same line Ruby! God must lead us here--lol

4:09 am

rubyfoo

4:09 am

sprite

bye zooz, have a grand time with your parents! *hugs*

4:09 am

puglet

Hi Zoom--hope you have a great time with the family

4:10 am

gapeach

Be safe, zooz.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Will do, Peach..thanks, Sprite & Puglet....*poof*

4:12 am

gapeach

Yes, Pug, there are no "accidents". We are supposed to know each other.....think back over time and you will be able to know why things worked the way they did.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I agree, Peach, wholeheartedly

4:14 am

puglet

someone always has something going on and makes your own troubles seem small and gives you gusto to go on yourself(if this makes sense)

4:14 am

sprite

me too

4:14 am

rubyfoo

makes much sense pug

4:15 am

sprite

makes perfect sense, and I agree

4:15 am

gapeach

It does make sense, indeed, Pug.

4:20 am

sprite

hmz, for a big grid I find the first half to go decidedly slow.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

half, yay, and now, off to lunch

4:21 am

rubyfoo

*woof* and puppy hugs

4:21 am

sprite

enjoy, ruby

4:21 am

gapeach

It really isn't the friendliest grid ever.

4:21 am

puglet

good job Ruby--have a wonderful lunch and day

4:22 am

puglet

lots of big words and my eyes are not too good on zigzagging this early in the morn--lol

4:22 am

sprite

glad it isn't just me :)

4:25 am

gapeach

I think I'd better head for my pillows.....not able to focus my eyes very well now.....have been at this four and one half hours....still need 107.

4:25 am

sprite

I usually have trouble spotting the biggies. Seems my mind is not wired that way, lol.

4:25 am

sprite

I hope you can sleep, peach, and I wish you wonderful dreams.

4:25 am

puglet

sleep well peach --good night hope to see you soon

4:27 am

gapeach

Thank you, sprite. Y'all have a wonderful day/night and since zooz is traveling....I always ask for the "Light" to surround him and get him safely there and back.

4:27 am

sprite

from your mouth to God's ear, peach!

4:31 am

sprite

halfway. Nothing over 7. Still tiles without a single word. Challenging grid :)

4:32 am

puglet

its kinda slow for me too--rose clued the 10 but I didnt get it

4:33 am

puglet

I think she said ca+number+ zodic

4:34 am

sprite

ah, found it. Probably it was ca + number + first sign of the zodiac?

4:35 am

puglet

thanks Sprite got it too

4:36 am

sprite

thank you! You made me find it.

4:37 am

puglet

4:40 am

m9f9l

4:42 am

puglet

Hi M9--I didnt want to step on anyones toes on that subject

4:42 am

m9f9l

4:43 am

m9f9l

4:44 am

sprite

yeah, I like them too. Funny creatures.

4:45 am

puglet

I would like to buy a anteater--my ground is full of them due to the woods arround me

4:46 am

sprite

lol... we have this little poem in dutch, that translates roughly as:
God created as exemplary animal
the hardworking ant.
His next creation was even better:
the ant-eater.

4:46 am

m9f9l

Nice. we get ants around here.

4:46 am

m9f9l

in the kitchen

4:47 am

puglet

hehe I like that

4:48 am

puglet

every planter I put out the ants seems to think Ive put them their for their nesting.

4:50 am

puglet

I seen on tv or read some where that they dont like the spice cinn. And I powdered two that had the ants and I havent seen any in them since I did. So maybe Ive ran into something that really works

4:50 am

sprite

that would be nice and not toxic.

4:53 am

m9f9l

oh nice

4:54 am

m9f9l

irate

howdy T&T

9:15 am

So does Frank.

9:15 am

hootowl

9:16 am

crosshair

you have to drug me to get me in the chair

9:16 am

Anniebrook

hi sue, t&t, hoot

9:17 am

uusue2

Which is why he's having a wisdom tooth out atage 64. And he insisted on full sedation.

9:17 am

crosshair

i have to be drugged and have a local.crossy does not do well on full sedation

9:18 am

uusue2

Hi Annie!

9:19 am

uusue2

Well, he just went back so I figure it will be at least an hour.

9:19 am

crosshair

well,good time for babbling;)

9:19 am

MollyL

As my dentist says, you really want to be knocked out when they pull wisdom teeth. Sometimes they have to use hammers to break them, in order to get them out. : O

9:19 am

toadandtoadette

I had full sedation when I had my wisdom teeth removed, and I was only 21 at the time

9:20 am

uusue2

Exactly :-)

9:21 am

phaeton

I should have had sedation cuz they had to cut and chisel them out

9:22 am

toadandtoadette

my main reason was I didn't want to have to hold my mouth open that long. lol

9:22 am

uusue2

Mine too, took 2 hours and I was awake the whole time.

9:22 am

MollyL

Not something you want to hear. You don't have to hold your mouth open that long. They put the rubber stopper in whether they knock you out or not.

9:23 am

uusue2

Well, he will be sore for a while but I think he will be fine.

9:24 am

MollyL

I have a great oral surgeon. I wasn't sore after he pulled mine.

9:24 am

uusue2

Wow, I hope this one is that good!

9:25 am

MollyL

My guy is a Prince among men. He calls you the next day to see how you're doing.

9:25 am

uusue2

The tooth is sideways though, so some soreness is probably inevitable.

9:26 am

bichon

Mornin. It's freezin' up here.

9:26 am

uusue2

Hi bichon!

9:27 am

MollyL

It is 63 and absolutely gorgeous here.

7:27 pm

NANCY

they may be southern but certainly not a delight as far as I am concerned

7:27 pm

7:30 pm

MimiCat

There are many disgusting (in my opinion) things people are willing to eat but I always wonder why.....nope, none of that one for me, lil.

7:30 pm

penquis

in Canada it's "boudin"....my parents used to eat it....

7:30 pm

lilliann

Are they stuffed with something?

7:31 pm

MimiCat

My ex used to have a saying that made me absolutely CRAZY but I would agree with his philosophy here....he said "There are enough things I like already, why should I try something new?" Literally made me want to put my fingernails through the wall.

7:32 pm

lilliann

I hate black pudding, i was just joking, neither appeal to me! My husband loves black pudding, but doesn't eat it anymore as i won't let him :)

7:33 pm

MollyL

Yes, an "American" thing. Thank God we don't have a dish named spotted dick. : P

7:33 pm

rururocks

*Bill Cosby is upset now*

7:33 pm

lilliann

I think we should all try something new, otherwise how do we know whether we like it or not?

7:33 pm

MimiCat

I had GREAT parents but they used to eat all kinds of awful things..somewhat lowered my opinion of them as far as they "tastefulness" was concerned.

7:33 pm

MimiCat

(((ruru)))

7:33 pm

gapeach

Aren't you glad he's your ex? I am so glad mine is my ex.

7:33 pm

MollyL

7:34 pm

rururocks

hi mimi

7:34 pm

lilliann

Spotted dick with homemade custard is lovely, but i don't eat it now.But as i always say, don't knock it before you try it!!

7:34 pm

rururocks

spotted dick would be popular in some places

7:34 pm

gapeach

Molly, what in the world is the spotted thing?

7:34 pm

MimiCat

Yes, truly, lill...SO glad. But we're closer now than when we were married...divorced agrees with us!

7:34 pm

bichon

penquis

ewww....

7:35 pm

rururocks

Imagines all these chickens on little crutches

7:35 pm

MollyL

Triple ugh.

7:35 pm

MimiCat

I always wonder what makes someone think about eating something like that the first time??? Mental illness, methinks.

7:35 pm

gapeach

Ruru, how are you?

7:35 pm

bichon

really sickening. And they ate it after fasting for Yom Kippur

7:36 pm

rururocks

oh ug

7:36 pm

bichon

Can you imagine not having anything in your mouth for 24 hours and to be happy eating that

7:36 pm

lilliann

Spotted dick which should never have been named that, is a suet pudding with currants and it is rolled and great with proper homemade custard

7:36 pm

MollyL

What made people think about eating and scrambling those white things that fall out of a chicken's ass?

7:37 pm

penquis

or eating a lobster for the first time...

7:37 pm

rururocks

do you suck the pudding or eat it with a spoon :D

7:37 pm

lawyer-1

my grandmother made chicken soup with the head in the soup/ I did not like looking in the pot and seeing it look back at me.

7:37 pm

gapeach

LOLOLOLOLO, Molly.

7:37 pm

MollyL

Ew! Ew! Chicken head soup.

7:38 pm

7:38 pm

bichon

white thing that fall out of a chicken's ass. Molly, what are they

7:38 pm

gapeach

pen, I love lobster but I can't eat it if I see it in a tank in the restaurant.

7:39 pm

MimiCat

My kids don't even like simple things...two hate tomatoes, one hates mushrooms...cooking for them was a "treat."

7:39 pm

MimiCat

Hi, welki!

7:39 pm

MimiCat

I'm the same way, peach. Love lobster but could never kill one myself or even see it killed...wuss.

7:39 pm

bichon

Mimi, I'll side with the one who doesn't eat mushrooms

7:40 pm

rururocks

<loves mushrooms

7:40 pm

MollyL

"Scramble" was a big clue in my previous comment

7:40 pm

MimiCat

I have a friend who went vegan. I can understand being vegetarian but I'd rather DIE than give up cheese!

7:40 pm

bichon

I will not eat fungus

7:40 pm

gapeach

My SIL cooks a pigs head for tamales.

7:40 pm

rururocks

oh

7:40 pm

welki

lots of things that we find unpalatable were prepared because there was a need to use every part, nothing went to waste (like fekilachs and gribenes)

7:40 pm

bichon

Vegan is a no go for me too. Love milk an eggs too much

7:40 pm

lilliann

i don't think i'd want to see a chicken's head in a soup but i've had rabbit stew in France and everyhting was cooked in it and when i was asked for seconds, the head was on the spoon...i'm glad i ate before i saw that :)

7:41 pm

penquis

i ate duck feet while in China...a bit chewy....;o)

7:41 pm

lilliann

I think vegan is pushing it too far

7:41 pm

MimiCat

I know that is true, welki, but most of us don't need to do that now and people still eat them...hey, if that's what floats your boat...

7:41 pm

rururocks

did they serve the duck's feet with quackers

7:41 pm

lilliann

I've had cows hooves in Jamaica

7:41 pm

welki

7:42 pm

lawyer-1

I love tongue!

7:42 pm

MollyL

Much as it does not appeal to me, I would go vegan before eating tongues, eyes and feet.

7:42 pm

rururocks

7:42 pm

gapeach

7:51 pm

welki

7:51 pm

porcupine is considered a good survival food in that it does not have to be cooked to be eaten

7:52 pm

Uneaixoise

i had a friend who was a reporter in Vietnam back in the day . . . he was horrified when he was invited out to dinner and a live monkey had the top of his head removed so the guests could eat live brains . . . aaaggghhh!!!

lilliann

8:01 pm

lilliann

I don't like lobster though

8:01 pm

crosshair

nor do i,molly

8:02 pm

welki

but a good risotto isn't mushy - the rice has texture and is lightly sauced

8:02 pm

penquis

i have lobster fairly often in the summer....cheap enough here....

8:02 pm

MollyL

L, you have not had proper Maine lobster. If you did, you would change your tune.

8:02 pm

8:08 pm

lilliann

We get some lovely seafood here molly, fresh is always better but can be very expensive

8:11 pm

lilliann

My next door neighbour goes fishing and gets fresh salmon, but i can't stand it so he gives it to our other neighbours now.i must ask him for some for the bairn, but i want it filleted.the last time he gave us some we had a whole fish, and i haven't a clue how to fillet a fish and i don't want to look at the eyes and chop it's head off. that's what fishmongers are for, but sadly we don't have so many now as supermarkets are taking over

8:14 pm

penquis

i have eaten lake salmon that i caught, but i don't filet them myself....bro does...

8:52 pm

rururocks

... and Molly :D

8:52 pm

rururocks

need a break.. this is a toughy

8:54 pm

MollyL

L, no wonder you can't get grids finished. You chat, look for words and watch movies all at the same time.

8:54 pm

penquis

i have 36 left and I have pretty much given up on this one...

8:55 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of weird ass words in it.

8:55 pm

penquis

i am curious, though about what the last tz word is....can someone clue it?

8:55 pm

lilliann

I'm a woman so i can multi task :)

8:56 pm

MollyL

Ends with the last three of where you wear a bracelet.

8:56 pm

lilliann

ts is the same as the ts4

8:56 pm

penquis

ty, molly....thought i had tried that, but apparently not...

8:56 pm

lilliann

34 here Pen

8:57 pm

MollyL

Anyone can multi-task. The question is, can you do all those things well?

8:58 pm

penquis

no one really multi-tasks...those who appear to are people who can easily shift attention back and forth between tasks....they can't really attend to more than one thing at a time...

8:58 pm

lilliann

The film i'm watching is in Italian?english subtitles about a man who sheilds his son from the terrors of a na4 camp

8:58 pm

MollyL

I agree Pen. Several things get sort of done.

9:00 pm

penquis

exactly....people with attention disorders often have trouble shifting attention when it's necessary..

9:01 pm

lilliann

I can't read subtitles and type but i can type and listen...oh, by the way i can lip read :)

9:03 pm

lilliann

I can sew,knit, make jewellery and watch tv and do both well :0

9:04 pm

penquis

i am down to 34...working like a very slow snail...

9:04 pm

lilliann

I can't do all of them at the same time but one of each and watch tv

9:04 pm

rururocks

es 9?

9:04 pm

penquis

i always do more than one thing at a time...like babble and watching tv....but sometimes i miss something on the tv show...

9:04 pm

rururocks

nm

9:05 pm

penquis

it relates to a waterway, ru....

9:06 pm

lilliann

You only need to listen pen.Sometimes listening is better than watching

9:06 pm

rururocks

thank you pen

9:06 pm

lilliann

Do you drive Pen?

9:07 pm

lilliann

Driving and listening to the radio is multi tasking :)

9:07 pm

MollyL

Actually, a lot of the shows I watch have scenes with no dialogue and only action. So listening does me no good.

9:07 pm

penquis

yes, but some driving is really "autopilot"....

9:08 pm

penquis

yes, i drive....

9:08 pm

penquis

my radio is broken, though...:o(

9:08 pm

lilliann

so you don't drive and listen to the radio or listen to a cd int he car Molly??

9:09 pm

lilliann

Back to my film :)

9:09 pm

MollyL

Yeah, I do L. But we have strayed from the original point.

9:11 pm

lilliann

No, we haven't as it was about multi-tasking and driving and listening to a radio is multi tasking.Or can't you do both well

9:12 pm

MollyL

I meant what Pen said about people who shift attention but are not really attending to more than one thing at a time.

9:12 pm

penquis

listening to music doesn't require much focused attention, though...it's more of a background thing....

9:13 pm

penquis

i have read research articles on attention.....i work with kids with attention disorders....

9:14 pm

penquis

when you do more than one task at a time, you are not really attending to all of those tasks at the same time....you shift your attention...

9:14 pm

MollyL

Yep. The radio in the car is background noise mostly. The main focus (hopefully) is on driving.

9:15 pm

lilliann

No, i agree, it doesn't take much focused attention until someone loves a song and the foot is tapping and ends up tapping ont he wrong pedal..my dad is an ex policeman and has seen accidents because of it

9:15 pm

penquis

31 now....this is painful...

9:16 pm

MollyL

Well in that case, all the attention has shifted to the music, and not the driving.

9:16 pm

MollyL

Same thing with texting while driving accidents.

9:16 pm

penquis

yes, lillian....that person had trouble shifting attention....

9:18 pm

penquis

one can make up interesting compound words in this grid....too bad they are not real words...

9:19 pm

rururocks

in 9 help please

9:19 pm

MollyL

This is why ADD is such a difficult disorder. Everything comes in to the attention span at the same volume and there is no way to filter anything to the background.

9:19 pm

MollyL

in9...imply

9:20 pm

penquis

it is like being in a loud cocktail party all the time...

9:20 pm

rururocks

thank you

9:20 pm

rururocks

duh ooooh

9:21 pm

MollyL

I don't think that is such a duh word. Not the way it snakes around the grid.

9:22 pm

penquis

well i am finally under 30...

9:24 pm

MollyL

It is a long, arduous journey, Pen.

9:24 pm

9:35 pm

lilliann

Really? So where were you born Pen?

9:36 pm

penquis

born in Maine....grandparents were all French Canadians....so i did not learn English until my brother started school....so i was about 4....

9:36 pm

lilliann

Or where did you live to speak French?

9:37 pm

lilliann

So you are bi lingual now

9:37 pm

penquis

in elementary school, half the day was taught in French....French reading, writing, etc....

9:38 pm

penquis

yes, but my speaking is rusty....receptive language is excellent....sometimes i think of a French word instead of an English one...

9:38 pm

MollyL

In Maine? Really? That much French was taught in school?

9:39 pm

penquis

yes, when i was a kid....parochial schools....about 5 out of 8 kids went to parochial schools and most taught French from first grade....

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

over half way :)

9:40 pm

penquis

this was in my town...only true in a few Maine towns at the time...

9:41 pm

penquis

9:42 pm

rururocks

9:42 pm

lilliann

9:43 pm

lilliann
