4:20 am

worzel

Biggest hugs reserved for you ((((hugs)))) xx

4:20 am

grannyrose

and no guilts, you hear???

4:21 am

worzel

omg Mum me and guilty feelings go hand in hand - comes of being in an oppressive marriage for over 20 years lmao! Still, I'm happy now - 3 1/2 years with my beautiful Diane, plus a new Mum!!! x

4:21 am

grannyrose

looking forward to seeing what you put in your profile. i enjoy a good laugh, and yes, dear, the colours suit you beautifully.

4:22 am

worzel

Well I've done a wee profile already but I shall of course update it and expand it. Then I shall have to find a way of putting up pictures - oh the fun of it all!!

4:23 am

grannyrose

and she is gorgeous!!! tell me, are all the diane's over there blonde?

4:23 am

grannyrose

you use flicker to put photos in your profile.

4:24 am

worzel

I don't know any other Dianes but I don't think Diane Rigg is blond. Oh hang on, she's Diana not Diane - d'oh silly me. As for flicker i'm a total numpty technology wise but I am going to find out later today from Diane how to do it so you shall see more of me as the days progress (you poor people!!)

4:26 am

grannyrose

well there was the lovely princess di...and i work with a fantastic english woman, called diane and.....she'd blonde. and has the most amazingly wicked sense of humour.

4:28 am

worzel

Yes, Princess Di, but again she was a Diana not a Diane, of course. Seems to me that there are more Diana's than Diane's. Also Rose is a beautiful name. We used to have a programme over here called Keeping Up Appearances and the four sisters were named Hyacinth Daisy Rose and another flower which slips my mind at the moment

4:29 am

worzel

violet!!!

4:30 am

grannyrose

lol, funny you should mention that show. my mother always said i was daisy, and i called her hyacinth

4:31 am

worzel

that tickles me that does because my ex sister in law was called Rose and although being a lovely person she was something of a Hyacinth herself. And fancy saying you're Daisy - that's just mean!!!! lmao!!!!

4:31 am

worzel

is Don like Onslow then? (joking, Don!!)

4:32 am

grannyrose

body shape, yes, but clear as all get out. and a non-drinker

4:32 am

grannyrose

sorry, please read *clever*

4:34 am

worzel

I've got to the age now where my body shape is a given fact - I used to fret about it but then again I guess that's the shallowness of youth. Now I'm an old fart I realise I'm happier looking like I do at 43 as I was when I was worrying about what I looked like at 23!!

4:38 am

worzel

irade

4:39 am

worzel

oh poo sorry!!

4:39 am

grannyrose

np's mate. i'm all done and du4ed.

4:41 am

worzel

Well, I guess I should get out of my lazy bed (it's 9.40am here) We have a little gap of sunshine poking through and I have (more) weeds also poking through so whilst I have the opportunity I should go get the little devils!! Mum once again I can never thank you enough for your amazing gift xxxxxx

4:41 am

grannyrose

my pleasure, son. enjoy your day. please say hi to diane.

4:42 am

worzel

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!. Have you ever had to write an application paper for a college or university? If so, you know the feeling of doing one of these, of sweating every phrase, nuance or intended meaning, of pouring your creative soul into those blank pages , until, you think that it should shine with its own inner force. You feel like you have leaned over those snowy white pages and held out your arm and opened up a vein. With that in mind , here is the most interesting application paper that I have seen in a long time!

hey, ruby, how are things on your side of the pond

7:33 am

rubyfoo

we have winter today, but not a big deal. Just freezing and sleet on the spring flowers

7:34 am

JBV

here, too, crossy, it's been teasing us - a few days where the temp goes up to 50 or so, then drops down to the 20s - not spring yet

7:34 am

Lizlin

Thanks all - time to snuggle up with a book in bed! Have a good evening / day all :)

As long as we don't get a hard frost, there'll still be flowers and fruit

sorry, but not words

I've been walking Miss |Puppy every morning for a month now and she is much less timid and better behaved and I am getting stronger

I'm saying goodnight too...bye

7:37 am

ruby, sorry for the personal question, just curious, when you walk around where you live, is it city streets? or are you in the country?

7:38 am

rubyfoo

bye lynxx

7:38 am

JBV

bye lynxxx

7:38 am

crosshair

well, jbv, we love to talk about it. we would be bored, I think, if it was nice and sunny and temperate all the time( though I am willing to try it)

7:38 am

rubyfoo

I introduced a fellow to babble last evening, his babble name is million zloty. We've been playing lexulous

7:39 am

rubyfoo

but it's unlikely we'll be babbling at the same time as he is in Boston

7:39 am

JBV

ok, we'll be ready to welcome him when he joins in

7:39 am

crosshair

love the name:)

7:40 am

WE're in a small village and our road is narrow and not well-travelled. It's a pleasure to walk there and the view is spectacular, cliffs above and Lake Annecy below.

7:40 am

that was "lookup....."

that looks beautiful, ruby, I'm looking at Satellite view

7:43 am

WA**, I'll stand outside and wave It's 47, route de Morat

7:43 am

JBV

do you live near the north end or the south end of the lake

7:43 am

rubyfoo

toward the north, on the southeast side

7:44 am

JBV

so beautiful - it reminds me a lot of my cousins' place in Piemonte

7:44 am

rubyfoo

Annecy is at the NW corner and we're 10 mins from there

7:44 am

rubyfoo

I think the topography is similar to places in northern Italy

7:45 am

rubyfoo

and they call Annecy, the Venice of the north hahah, because it has canals

7:45 am

JBV

funny, he told me Piemonte is known as the Nice o f the Alps

7:46 am

rubyfoo

that is a hoot!

7:46 am

JBV

because of the temperate climate

7:46 am

crosshair

pictures ruby poleing her was down a meandering canal in a gondola....

7:46 am

JBV

so when you go into "town" you go to Annecy?

7:46 am

rubyfoo

here it is less warm than Nice, but we have better overall weather

7:47 am

rubyfoo

yes, town is where the movies and sushi are

7:47 am

just googled Annecy" it look amazing!

Not exactly, Molly, but it's very pretty nonetheless

7:49 am

JBV

just a dream right now

7:50 am

rubyfoo

and I'm note kidding, JBV

7:51 am

but a meet-up here is a nice idea, but there's nobody else closer than Sprite, and she is a loooong trip away

7:51 am

JBV

would love to meet sprite, too

7:52 am

MollyL

What about all the people in the UK? And Soodle in Ireland? Aren't they close?

7:52 am

rubyfoo

when she visited, it was an incredibly arduous trip for her, no direct train from Amsterdam

7:52 am

JBV

we had a meet up here last week, so much fun to meet familiar names

7:52 am

rubyfoo

Soodle will come eventually, but I'm not sure I can travel any more

7:53 am

rubyfoo

besides zooz, who in the UK, Molly?

7:55 am

rubyfoo

JBVmTorino is an easy train trip from Aix-les-Bains (or even Annecy). Keep that in mind

7:55 am

MollyL

There are a lot of UK players here. I don't know how many of them are interested in a Babble get together. I know Lilliann is.

7:57 am

rubyfoo

Where is Lilliann in the UK? Unfortunately,the train trip from London is very expensive and only leaves you in Paris, 4 hrs from here. The planes are inexpensive, but you wind up in Geneva, 35 minutes away and only bus service from thereto here

7:57 am

bye, hego!

10:46 am

MollyL

?? Are you grinding the coffee in the bedroom ?

10:46 am

rururocks

10:47 am

rururocks

*items on Jes' nightstand" Massage oil, tissues, lip gloss, coffee Grinder*

10:50 am

rururocks

I was just thinking my cappuccino making days are over for now..

10:51 am

MLFAN17

why ruru?

10:51 am

rururocks

I have mine set.. but I don't set the timer. I just push the button. I think it would be better to have it preset to brew

10:51 am

MollyL

da6/27 and da6/36

10:51 am

jesdraggon

I usually do grind it the night before, but got distracted last night.

10:52 am

rururocks

oh.. tell me more ? :D

10:52 am

jesdraggon

no lip gloss for me, ruru - I don't do makeup. And tissues? that's wasteful; we have a pile of towels :)

10:52 am

MollyL

There is something wondrous to waking to the smell of freshly brewing coffee

10:53 am

rururocks

how'd I do on the massage oil?

10:53 am

rururocks

I agree molly ..its the BEST smell in the morning

rururocks

doing the laundry is NOT a big deal

10:57 am

rururocks

ya dump it in.. you drop in soap and you push a button

10:57 am

MollyL

I agree. It's not like we are with washboards down by the river.

10:57 am

jesdraggon

heh. sure, but then he hangs it to dry, and folds it, and puts it away... and all while I'm at work so I don't have to deal with it when I get home.

10:58 am

rururocks

I wonder if women who washed by the river spun to do the spin cycle

10:58 am

rururocks

he's a keeper jes

10:58 am

10:59 am

But South Park says to blame Canada

11:31 am

rururocks

I never really have watched South Park.. but I think the creators are hilarious

11:32 am

jesdraggon

Bruce is watching it all from the beginning...

11:33 am

jesdraggon

so there is lots of south park in my life right now

11:35 am

jesdraggon

we are planning to go see Book of Mormon this summer :)

11:40 am

rururocks

me too

11:40 am

rururocks

I'm going in May to NYC

11:41 am

jesdraggon

maybe we'll see you there?

11:41 am

jesdraggon

oh, well, no...we're going to Seattle

11:42 am

rururocks

I have a deal with my friends.. they get tickets to the show and I buy dinner. I couldn't afford the tickets on my last trip to NY.. as the day of tickets were over $700

11:42 am

jesdraggon

egads

11:43 am

rururocks

I think they are more like $250 for great seats if you order ahead

11:43 am

jesdraggon

still... ouch

11:44 am

rururocks

that's not bad for Broadway.. I really am looking forward to it. really only done one show and it was simply amazing.. Broadway is the best.. anywhere

11:45 am

jesdraggon

yeah... but $500 for tickets, and the same for flights there, and then hotels and meals and ....

11:45 am

jesdraggon

I'm too cheap for Broadway

11:46 am

rururocks

that was the problem.. my hotel room was so expensive .. I didn't feel like blowing more money

11:47 am

rururocks

so I met up with Doren and we had lunch in Central Park that was just as much fun

11:48 am

jesdraggon

that does sound fun

11:49 am

rururocks

it was.. a beautiful day.. we had lunch at the boathouse on the lake in the park and just chatted for hours

11:50 am

rururocks

we babblers have a lot in common.. it's really easy to talk once you meet other players.. there are so many things we're all interested in in the same ways

11:50 am

dcseain

That's true about meeting in person, ruru, very true. :)

11:50 am

rururocks

Doren is out here next month.. we're doing dinner with KJE and her "le Boyfriend"

11:50 am

jesdraggon

today in south park we le5 to hide our emotional problems with math problems... :D

11:51 am

jesdraggon

I dunno, ru... I can't imagine talking easily to you, you're so difficult to get along with...

11:51 am

rururocks

well.. I try to be nice jes.. and more accommodating in person :D

11:53 am

jesdraggon

even more in person? is that even possible?

11:54 am

rururocks

yep..we'd meet someday jes if I could ever figure out where Chewbaka is in Washington :D

11:56 am

jesdraggon

middle of nowhere, really... though if you ever come to Spokane you should let me know

11:57 am

rururocks

Oh I will.. sometime this year. I have to go to Walla Walla to meet one of my wineries this spring

11:58 am

jesdraggon

meet a winery? I thought a winery was a business...

11:59 am

rururocks

I represent a great Washington winery and need to go up and see them.. and walk the vineyards etc

12:01 pm

jesdraggon

Spokane's still 2 hours from Walla Walla.... unless you're flying in and driving to WW from Spoko?

12:01 pm

rururocks

yes.. that's the closest I can get. I don't like driving through the Gorge from Portland

12:02 pm

jesdraggon

but that's my favorite stretch of highway in the state! it just BEGS for driving fast :)

12:03 pm

rururocks

it's beautiful.. but I prefer a straight shot to Walla Walla..

12:04 pm

jesdraggon

well, works out for me then, cuz I can meet you for dinner or something in Spokane :)

12:05 pm

rururocks

okay.. maybe that will work out. I'll probably spend a day and a night in Walla Walla and then come back to Spokane. we'll see.

12:05 pm

jesdraggon

excellent :)

12:06 pm

rururocks

maybe i'll stay one extra night in Spokane and fly out in the morning.

12:10 pm

jesdraggon

I'd offer hotel recommendations, but I usually just stay at my brother or Bruce's friends' house.

12:14 pm

rururocks

I know the hotels

12:16 pm

Judi

Back for a brief stretch while my veggies sa5.

12:17 pm

jesdraggon

welcome back, Judi :)

12:20 pm

jesdraggon

huh. how did I miss the ne6?

12:22 pm

Judi

A little bird didn't inform you.

12:22 pm

jesdraggon

I guess! but you'd think that word would be obvious, since I spend so much time trying to convince people to do it...

12:23 pm

Judi

Most people aren't inclined to ne6 themselves. ;-p

12:24 pm

jesdraggon

nah, but it would be good if the ne'd their cats!

12:24 pm

Judi

True. Then again, some people should be ne6ed.

12:25 pm

jesdraggon

indeed; sadly I haven't the authority to push that. I do think it would be good to off low-cost vasectomies though....

12:26 pm

Judi

Gotta agree with that one.

12:27 pm

jesdraggon

I heard there was someone a while back going to low-income areas and offering to pay for people's tubal ligation or vasectomy if they wanted one. This somehow pissed off a bunch of people.

12:28 pm

jesdraggon

I'm mostly pissed nobody ever offered to pay for one for me, cuz I'd absolutely have taken them up on it!

12:28 pm

Judi

But free birth control is perfectly fine, as long as the government is paying for it. Oy.

12:29 pm

jesdraggon

well, unless you ask the Catholic Church or Hobby Lobby...

12:29 pm

Judi

Veggies are done. Now I can take a brief nap with the cats before I have to go out and run few errand. I'm out of wine!!

12:29 pm

jesdraggon

enjoy! give the kitties skritches :)

12:30 pm

Judi

Hi crossy. I thought I scared everyone away!

2:31 pm

crosshair

minus 12c and back in winter mode. Too bad, was almost getting ready to dust off the hiking gear again.

2:33 pm

Nef

We're 13 (F) (I think that that's somewhere around -6 (C)? here and cold winds again too. :-(

2:39 pm

crosshair

btw. polar bear dip was .. refreshing today:( all proceeds went to a good cause and my heart continues to beat in my chest;)

2:40 pm

crosshair

crossy got wet at high noon:)

2:40 pm

Nef

Good for you cross! I have a question: what did they provide for the dippers to warm up afterwards?

2:41 pm

crosshair

there was a warming hut with propane hear and thick fluffy housecoats at the ready

2:42 pm

crosshair

heater

2:42 pm

Nef

My daughter has done this for 5 years now; they've always had a hot tub after the dip; but this year when it was way below zero with a wind chill of -20(F), they had a "steam tunnel" without heat!

2:43 pm

Nef

TPTB said the hot tub "wasn't sanitary" this year!

2:43 pm

crosshair

well, we all just sat in the warming hut, wearing fluffy robes and drinking hot beverages

2:45 pm

crosshair

were all back in shape and ready to get dressed again in 20 minutes

2:46 pm

Nef

that sounds better than what she had to do. She said they ran through the "steam tunnel" and toweled off and got dressed and she went home to warm up; no hot beverages (I don't think they've ever offered that); when I saw her on her way home her hair was frozen and her lips were blue; she said she had no feeling in her toes either

2:47 pm

cosdem

howdy all. hello hello! can i get a clue for the al6 please?

2:47 pm

She raised over $400 for the Special Olympics, not sure if she will do it again next year; but who can say for sure....

DH had swordfish that was baked and on a bed of braised spinach with something else in it(maybe pine nuts or something?) and he ordered scalloped potatoes as a side he had water and coffee after also, but he also had a HUGE chocolate sundae. He ate all of the sundae, but he brought about 1/2 of his food home too. That meal was $140 (including tip)

3:07 pm

Nef

very true, welki. we finished eating a bit after 9; and then thought about going and doing something else. We sat in the hotel lobby while I checked what was going on in town for entertainment; but after finding some things that started at 8PM, I looked up and noticed that DH was worn out ; so I told him that everything we would have liked to do started earlier and we came home.
I think that that was a good idea; he's still pretty worn out from that

3:07 pm

dianedecoder

...so I heard. Son went for his walk along the river yesterday and said that wind was bitter!

3:07 pm

crosshair

for a special dinner and an evening out, I do not consider 200-300 out of the range of reality. for our 20th , as my babbler friends know, we did that sunset dinner cruise aboard the R.M.S Segwun steamship. was very memorable.

3:07 pm

smores

I made stuffed avocados ... similar to stuffed peppers...absolutly wonderful

3:08 pm

dianedecoder

We are heading home on April 12 so I hope you whip that weather into shape by then, welki!!

3:10 pm

welki

and you stuffed them with...

3:10 pm

Nef

Crossy, all we did was eat. A dinner cruise would have been nice, or a supper show or something, but (even though we talked and enjoyed each others' company) 3 hours for a meal without any extras? I guess the price and time were worth it (maybe); I just was amazed at it.

3:10 pm

welki

diane, if i could whip the weather into shape, i would have done it in october. a full six months of winter so far

3:10 pm

crosshair

it is breathtaking how fast the money goes during a special evening

3:12 pm

smores

dice then scoop most of an avocado out...squirt just a bit of lime juice in the shell and set aside. Mix 1cup favorite rice mix ( I used minute rice multi grain medley) 1 roma tomato diced with the avocado fill the shells, top with feta cheese and bake 375 about 12 min. I put them in pyrex custard cups

3:12 pm

Nef

It's the 2nd time in 39 years we've gone that "fancy" like that; for our 35th anniversary we went to a small town on the Mississippi River and stayed at a B&B and had dinner there and it was cheaper!

3:13 pm

3:13 pm

sounds very nice, smores - don't think i've ever had avocado heated up before

3:14 pm

Nef

smores, that sounds delicious. I've never had heated avocados either, but that sounds very good

3:14 pm

smores

me either...was going to do stuffed tomatoes...

3:15 pm

smores

thought I'd give it a try...I love avocados

3:17 pm

Nef

BTW, welki, I just reread my posts, I sound like I'm whining; but the truth is it was very nice. I'm just surprised about the cost and time. And the time shouldn't matter since I was with DH and we TALKED, right? :-)

3:17 pm

crosshair

indeed, sometimes it is just nice to heave everything over the side and have nothing to focus on but each other.

3:18 pm

smores

sounds great Nef...a dinner show may have just gotten in the way :)

3:18 pm

dianedecoder

I'm not to sure what a "rice mix" is.... is it precooked in a package?

3:19 pm

dianedecoder

too sure, even ;-)

3:19 pm

Nef

both of you are correct. Here we are, retired and with each other 24/7; but rarely get to talk about the important things in life.

3:19 pm

welki

nef, the two of you went on a date, worth every penny

3:20 pm

Nef

(Oh, and we decided to get some pre-paid funeral/burial plans made too! :-D

3:20 pm

smores

no...not precooked...just whatever your favorite is..I like wild rice mixtures. Minute Rice has a Multi grain mix now...2-3 different kinds of rice and quinoa

3:21 pm

welki

nef! hahahaha - isn't it romantic?!

3:21 pm

smores

lol...too funny

3:21 pm

dianedecoder

okay, so I guess there is enough moisture in the other ingredients to swell the rice. ( I have never used instant rice.... just jasmine or basmati.

3:22 pm

welki

you cook the rice before mixing it with the other ingredients?

3:22 pm

smores

no ... you have to cook the rice first....jasmine would be good. Sorry, guess I should have specified 1 cup cooked rice

3:23 pm

Nef

LOL! Actually, it was romantic! Sounds dumb, but after seeing and going through some of the funeral stuff for Frank's Aunts and then seeing what some friends went through; it was romantic to think about the remaining spouse after 1 of us dies.

3:23 pm

dianedecoder

thanks..... all cleared up !!

after watching the wifes surviving family fighting us as she tried her best to be executor and honor her mums wishes, I am either leaving everything to my wife, and if she is not alive, it all goes to the Canadian cancer society. it was terrible watching her kin fight over the remains like vultures at a feast;(

3:26 pm

dianedecoder

No confusion, smores.... sounds delicious and I think avacados are on sale this week.... bonus !!

3:27 pm

smores

lol...that's why I had them on hand

3:27 pm

crosshair

sorry, every time I see funeral arrangements now, I get bristly:)

3:28 pm

smores

understandable crossy

3:28 pm

crosshair

may just have them carry a board to the pier and tip me into the bay.

3:28 pm

smores

lol

3:29 pm

welki

how about your son, crossy? our wills leave everything to each other, then to the children

3:30 pm

welki

(i had the same experience with my grandmother - not pleasant to watch the relatives circling like vultures)

3:30 pm

Nef

crossy, you are so right. I was Executor of his dear Aunty Jean's estate; and while she didn't have much and there wasn't much fighting; her remaining older sister called once while I was gone and tried to get some things that were left to us informally AND the mantle clock of their parents (which Aunty Jean had left in her will to my DH!) DH was going to give her the clock and I had to be the one to say No.

3:30 pm

crosshair

my son, comes after the mrs, and since he is an only child, I forsee no problems in that regard.

3:31 pm

crosshair

and NEVER, EVER, EVER, leave anything informally. they are fighting tooth and nail to get MIL's jewellery and they are all guys!

3:32 pm

crosshair

write it all down and carve it in stone, just in case

3:33 pm

smores

guess coming up poor had its advantages...wasn't much to fight over when my parents past...Mom gave us girls a few sentimental items about couple years before she died.

3:33 pm

crosshair

I mean what the heack are they going to do with two wedding sets and 2k or costume jewellery?

3:34 pm

crosshair

of

3:34 pm

Nef

DH can't get life insurance or even those cheap "no physical required" policies because of his MS; so we decided to make plans for pre-paid funerals now. I do have life insurance, so it won't be too tough on him; but if he should die suddenly, I might be in a pickle trying to pay for the funeral costs even if it's a cheap funeral and burial.

3:34 pm

crosshair

yes, smores, sometimes it is a blessing. thank god there were no heavy duty investments or houses or property involved

3:35 pm

smores

I did witness what you are talking about though with her cousin...2 daughters going at it...I told my girls I would reach down and smack them silly if they acted like that :D

3:35 pm

crosshair

nef, I made my own arrangement. there is 3k put aside for the mrs to see to me and I wish to be cremated anyways. that will be plenty and leave lots for a nice urn if she wishes it

3:35 pm

welki

smart thinking, nef. no one needs any added stress, like worrying about how you can afford a funeral/burial if something sudden happens

3:36 pm

crosshair

i told her to put my remains in a decorative hour glass, then she can time her boiled eggs with me every morning:)

3:36 pm

smores

yes, very wise to plan ahead

3:37 pm

smores

LOL..hilarious crossy

3:37 pm

crosshair

well, it will be the first time i have ever been on time:))

3:38 pm

smores

3:39 pm

Nef

my folks and my aunt and uncle who raised me had nothing and I didn't get anything either (never expected it, so I was lucky that way too). Aunty Jean didn't have much of anything, and she didn't leave anything to her older sister because the older sister was always telling Jean that she should throw stuff out. Besides, that sister had money and Jean didn't

3:41 pm

Nef

crossy, Aunty Jean was creamated (as were her mother and her oldest sister (Jean had lived with them their whole lives); but it still cost around $2500 for cremation, burial of the urn, and all of the various fees etc. (and this was back in 2011)

3:41 pm

crosshair

only member of our family that had money was my grammys sister and her and my da hated each other. she died a spinster and left all her money to a home for wayward cats.

3:42 pm

crosshair

in 2013, cremation, a nice donation to her charity and a nice urn came to about $2,000.00 inc tax

3:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How much does a grecian...oh, never mind.

3:42 pm

Nef

LOL! Someone like that would do that, wouldn't they cross? (I do not understand how people can go through life hating others)

3:42 pm

crosshair

the urn was not buried but taken home

3:44 pm

crosshair

we have MIL here. one of my beloveds idiotic brother has her das urn. their wish was to be, joined together as one in same urn, but sadly, it will have to wait.

3:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I urn about 10 an hour.

3:45 pm

Nef

We took Aunty Jean to the family plot up in a very small town where she (and the family) grew up. Very little cost there; the cemetery manager came out about 1/2 hour before the family gathered , dug a 4 foot hole, and put the urn in after. He used a post hole digger to do it!

3:45 pm

crosshair

grave humor there kap.

3:46 pm

Nef

very good, Kap. :-) I think it cost less than $50 to bury Aunty Jean.

3:47 pm

dianedecoder

What is the system called, then the non designated keepsakes need to be dispersed? My brother numbered everything of Mom's and we all chose in turn ( being 5 of us ) I was eldest and chose first, and then not again until #10. It worked beautifully.

3:47 pm

MollyL

Just a head's up to people who wish to be cremated, you should mention where you would like your ashes scattered. And do a little research because there are very specific laws about where ashes can be scattered and where they can't.

3:48 pm

crosshair

i learned the hard way, that if it is not down in the will, they will dispute everything. lawyer fees will eat it all up

3:48 pm

Nef

that sounds like a good plan, diane

3:48 pm

crosshair

there are indeed, molly, both sets of the remains we have have a numbered certificate and that information must be used when making application to scatter the remains

3:55 pm

Nef

Molly, when my dad was cremated, we discovered that. He wanted his ashes scattered in a specific river at a special place he always went fishing at. My BIL worked in the BLM at the time and it was quite an involved process to do it.

3:56 pm

Nef

(BLM= Bureau of Land Management)

3:58 pm

Nef

may I have the stats or a clue for that 9 please? I'm surprised I haven't found it yet

4:01 pm

crosshair

what a river mouth is called as it empties out into a larger body of water

4:02 pm

Actually, an adjective made from that word. Thanks crossy.

4:03 pm

4:04 pm

thanks, crossy and wht

4:05 pm

crosshair

indeed, wht, i figured babblers can bring it the rest of the way with no problems:)

4:05 pm

wht

I guess so, since I was able to figure it out.

4:06 pm

crosshair

there ya go:)

4:06 pm

wht

Do you have a similarly excellent clue for the ra8?

4:06 pm

crosshair

wow, half way and it has turned into a tough grind for me:(

4:07 pm

crosshair

indeed, i do ra 8/65 = cool refuse

4:08 pm

crosshair

or ra+ wa 5/18

4:08 pm

wht

ty, I would never have monkeyed that.

4:09 pm

Nef

it's a very dumb word (to me at least)

4:12 pm

crosshair

i found the tr 7/40 to be a bit of a pita

4:16 pm

Nef

haven't found that one yet, cross, but I've been working that prefix and found lots of words from it now. Thanks!

4:18 pm

crosshair

:)

4:23 pm

Nef

found it. Thanks, crossy!

4:26 pm

crosshair

yaaa!

4:29 pm

Nef

Wow. I just really looked at the word stats, and it isn't often that a grid will have over half of the words being 4 letter words, is it?

4:30 pm

crosshair

yup, quite a few of them:(

4:31 pm

crosshair

as of right now, i am at 52/04 of the 4 letter words with 101 words found out of 206, so i am expecting loits of teeny, tiny, babblets

4:31 pm

crosshair

52/104*

4:32 pm

crosshair

lots*

4:32 pm

Nef

You can do it, cross! :-)

4:32 pm

smores

back for a few more :)

4:33 pm

crosshair

wb,smores

4:33 pm

Nef

(as long as we keep our typos down and our eyes uncrossed, we can finish this grid easily; right?)

4:33 pm

smores

thanks for the ra8

4:34 pm

smores

thats asking for a lot Nef :D

4:34 pm

smores

heck, typos are how I get some of the weirder ones

4:36 pm

Nef

very true, smokes. I find some words that way too; but if I'm looking at the grid and not checking for typos, I "think" I got a lot of the words but have goofed instead

4:37 pm

Nef

okay. AND then there's Spellcheck screwing me up I did type SMORES; but it doesn't like that

4:38 pm

Nef

sorry if I've been calling you that today.

4:38 pm

smores

lol...spellcheck either makes me smokes or snores :)

4:39 pm

smores

np Nef

4:39 pm

Nef

LOL!

4:39 pm

smores

unfortunately, I do both lol

4:40 pm

crosshair

tw 4/8 = a common babblet of tw+ two vowels

4:40 pm

MollyL

Can't you program spell check to accept certain words? I know I can do that on my PC.

4:41 pm

Nef

I don't know, Molly. Guess I should try and do that, huh?

4:41 pm

smores

Hi Molly

4:42 pm

smores

love your tree :)

4:42 pm

MollyL

I don't know Nef. I kinda like Smokes

4:42 pm

smores

lol

4:42 pm

Nef

I've found (in the past) that I can get spellcheck to accept odd spellings just while I'm on a page for that one time. I haven't found a permanent fix yet

4:43 pm

MollyL

Usually, something that has spell check has a dictionary and you just add the word to your dictionary. I don't know what kind of device you're using and how it works, though.

4:44 pm

Nef

I'm on a Mac. I don't know how it works either! ;-)

4:46 pm

smores

time to start dinner...20 left for later...bye :)

4:46 pm

Nef

my Help button doesn't have any help for spellcheck

4:47 pm

MollyL

MACs are a strange and unknown beast to me.

4:47 pm

welki

nef, type smores and it'll be underlined in red, right?

4:48 pm

welki

right click with your mouse and there's a menu to choose from. click 'add to dictionary'

4:50 pm

Nef

it's underlined in red, all right; but there isn't an "add to dictionary" choice on the menu, welki.

4:51 pm

welki

donwhen i type 'smores,' i see snores, sores, mores, stores, scores - Add to Dictionary is right underneath

4:51 pm

crosshair

only time I ever see a mac is when I go to any doctors office. Pretty things, but I sure would have to hate to change a fan or swop out a power supply in one.:)

4:52 pm

crosshair

hate to have to*

4:52 pm

Nef

this time I found a "Learn Word" choice (not there the 1st time) so I hit that

4:53 pm

welki

my first mac laptop is over 10 yrs old and still going - the only thing that's gone on it (ever) was the ability to run on battery power. i replaced the laptop a year or two ago and still use the old one as a spare

4:54 pm

crosshair

very nice welki:) my pc's are obsolete the second i walk out the door with them or finish building them:(

4:54 pm

Nef

crossy, so far that wasn't been too tough to do on my old Macs; this new Mac Mini is tough though.I don't know where they hide it

4:54 pm

welki

did 'learn word' work? i'm running OS 10.9.2, which may account for the difference in menus

4:56 pm

Nef

my son still has a little Mac orange laptop (one of the first ones I think). But the power cord is obsolete; he thinks that if he could find aone the old machine would still work (But I did tell him it's no longer supported anymore)

4:56 pm

crosshair

the mainboard is this current build is from 2008. i chose stability this time over keeping up with bleeding edge hardware. was getting tiring, and expensive

4:57 pm

Nef

YES! That worked! Thanks, welki!

Soodle, I still have swelling in my feet and legs....other than that, I'm about the same. Sounds like you need a rest, dear.

5:06 pm

Nef

hi stid. I think it isn't too bad; look at all the 4 letter words!

5:06 pm

Soodle

Sorry your feet are swelling, Peach. :-(

5:07 pm

stidmama

poor peach... LOL I am GOOD at 4-letter words, nef (as you know)

5:07 pm

Nef

peach, do you elevate them as much as possible and also have the compression stockings? It helps mine when they are acting up

5:07 pm

gapeach

Peeps, the dogs are raising quite a comotion. Need to see about them. BBL

5:08 pm

Hi all by the way:)

5:08 pm

When do you move into your house Stid?

5:12 pm

stidmama

No idea lilliann -- every time we ask for the last three months they say 4 to 6 weeks.

5:14 pm

Nef

this is when you must be chomping at the bit ; everything packed and ready for when they say you can

5:14 pm

Soodle

Stid, my heart goes out to you. You guys have really been through the mill. Well done for staying strong.

5:14 pm

stidmama

Getting there, Nef -- was my plan to spend the weekend packing, but I have a virus that turns out to be more than a cold, so have been useless most of the last two days.

5:14 pm

stidgmere

Hello all. Lacking many 4 letter words. Looking to stidmama for a raft of them.

5:15 pm

stidmama

Thanks soodle -- there is light at the end of the tunnel I think... My garden is surviving, and that is good. (pics on my website if you're interested)

5:15 pm

stidmama

hello Mother -- good time visiting with Matthew?

5:15 pm

lilliann

Sorry to hear that Stid...i thought you were getting closer...sorry for all the crap you've been through and hopefully it will be sooner than later, you all deserve a new start.Hugs to you and family

5:15 pm

stidgmere

Yes. He's looking at population densities now in the National Geographic.

5:16 pm

Nef

I saw you were feeling sick on Friday; has it improved any? (And have you rested and had lots of fluids, etc to help it go away?

5:16 pm

Soodle

Where would I find your website, Mama?

5:17 pm

stidgmere

We made hamburgers for lunch and salad. Dinner will be later.

5:17 pm

stidmama

It was not fun on Friday, better yesterday, WAY worse today. Pushing fluids, taking echinacea and zinc and such...

5:17 pm

stidmama

See my profile, soodle :-)

5:17 pm

stidmama

mmm. sounds like a fine day for the boy-man.

5:17 pm

stidmama

I am thinking I may need to take my first official sick day of the school year tomorrow.

5:18 pm

stidgmere

Yes. We played the Hindmith Trumpet concerto with piano--got further than I thought we would.

5:18 pm

stidgmere

And walked away still relatively happy.

5:18 pm

stidmama

nice! If that's the one I am thinking of, it's a lovely piece.

5:19 pm

I hope you feel better soon Stid

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

periwinkle

Miss you too, stiddy.

5:22 pm

Nef

stid, do you have a fever? If so, you definitely should not be around others (and I know you know that). I do think it's necessary to take sick days when you are sick; as a teacher, you can make many others ill if you are still that sick

5:23 pm

Soodle

Wow. I'm going to have to devote a whole day to viewing your website Stidmama. It looks super.

5:23 pm

Nef

how did you make that meat loaf and how did it taste, peri? (I just can't imagine that at all)

5:23 pm

Nef

it is a wonderful site, Soodle.

5:24 pm

stidmama

I do have a fever, of course I caught this from my students (a lot of the teachers have it right now)... but today is the only day it is not well controlled with OTC meds. I have things arranged at the moment -- I can have Tom drive me to school later and set things up just in case I have to call a substitute for tomorrow.

5:24 pm

Soodle

For sure. A treat in store for me. :-)

5:24 pm

periwinkle

I used chopt walnuts, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, fresh parsley, chopt red pepper, eggs, bread crumbs, mustard, and some plain yogurt.

5:25 pm

stidmama

I used to make a lovely red lentil loaf when the boys were little, peri -- I don't know if I still have that recipe though. Haven't made it in years. Although the loaf itself was fairly dry, a nice tomato sauce over the top was a great complement.

5:25 pm

periwinkle

it fell apart when I tried to cut it

5:25 pm

periwinkle

I will have to look for a recipe then, stiddy. that sounds good

5:26 pm

periwinkle

I think I have red lentils too as well as the french green one

5:26 pm

stidmama

this recipe looks very similar to the one I remember peri

https://tinyurl.com/9b7ty5r

5:26 pm

periwinkle

it tasted good, not at all like a regular meatloaf, which I expected.

5:27 pm

periwinkle

I will check it out thanks. bbs

5:27 pm

stidmama

the red lentils have a lovely flavor, peri. I prefer them to the brown ones for "baked" goods.

5:28 pm

Soodle

Oooh. I cooked roast beef, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, broccoli & cauliflower & cheese sauce earlier. And gravy with a dash of poteen. That was 8 hours ago & I'm still full up!

5:28 pm

stidmama

*grin* maurice SENDAK is in the grid today (doesn't count, but did I love to read his books as a child)

5:28 pm

that did not work for me stiddy. I can never get a tinyurl to work. I will goggle lentil loaf

5:29 pm

Nef

peri, I cannot imagine your meatless loaf; it sounds intriguing, but I wonder if it would stick together better if you pan-fried slices of it?

5:29 pm

lilliann

ahh, i missed saying hi to Peri, the cat needed food and attention

5:30 pm

that might work, Nef

I know when the bairn got knocked over christmas before last and had bleeding on the brain, she was tired alot for a couple of Months afterbut that's the way of the brain recovering i suppose, and i bet as a doctor, you're probably a bad patient!! :D

5:40 pm

stidmama

5:41 pm

Nef

okay, I'm just relieved that you didn't try to treat yourself for something like that (I know too many medical people who do!)

5:41 pm

Sorry to hear that Scrabbler! Time & rest are good, although you can try alternating hot & cold compresses to that sore R trap

5:41 pm

Scrabbler

I followed physical and cognitive rest for the first 5 days, then started doing some reading. No exercise yet except walking up the street.

5:42 pm

stidmama

I'm just glad that scrabs was able to get to a warm, dry, safe place on her own... too scary to contemplate what might have happened had she been out in the cold for too long

5:42 pm

Nef

What a frightening thing to happen, Scrabbler. Yikes.

My hussband and i were watching a celebrity skiing programme here just before the winter olympics started and so many of them hurt themselves and then when we watched the Winter Olympics more got hurt ...A very dangerous sport...i must admit i prefer lying in the Sun then being in the cold and skiing has never appealed to me...too dangerous

I cross-country ski because I am too afraid to get hurt from downhill skiing, and then may accident happens! I will be wearing a helmet for XC-skiing and snowshoeing next season.

5:48 pm

Then i've been watching the Para Olympics and the way they ski without legs balancing on the one ski is incredible

I know when the bairn got knocked over, i told her she'd have to wear a helmet every day to cross the road...obviously she told me to stop being a worry wort...She does have to wear a helmet when she rides her bike though, even though she hated it before her accident she now understands why we make her wear it and puts it on even before we ask now

It took me 5 hours to make that card. needless to say, I gave up and continued today, finally finished at 5pm. I made the mistake of choosing an appropriate decoupage that had so much cutting out that it took all day.

6:18 pm

lil*monkey

I still don't have either D word from far-right column

6:19 pm

lilliann

i don't cut out decoupage anymore because of my arthritis, which is why i love it when it is die cut.well it was late/early when you went off.Let's hope he appreciates all your hard work:)

6:33 pm

I am so bummed that my printer decided to croak on me after I spent over $100 ink. I have a lot of useless ink.

6:33 pm

lilliann

Neither is babble Jaxx!! :( i don't do alot of colouring and stamping now but i do have Pro markers and Specctrum noirs so it is easier as they are thicker

6:33 pm

jaxx7

Try selling it on E-Bay

6:34 pm

lilliann

We all know that feeling Button:) I hope you have a good rest

6:35 pm

Buttonman

thanks

6:35 pm

lilliann

no, i won't sell them as i still use them occasionally, plus the bairn uses them for her art homework

6:35 pm

Sends blessings to the good pastor

6:35 pm

jaxx7

I have just bought Joanna's latest which is Jayne Netley Mayhew Digistamps. Beautiful and I should think perfect for you as you could leave them black and white.

6:35 pm

Nef

Min, we have the same problem. And (of course) there isn't a printer that uses our ink cartridges for sale now; so we had to buy new ink and printer.

6:36 pm

jaxx7

I was answering Min about her ink. :)

6:36 pm

Nef

lilli, I think Jaxx was telling Min to try selling her ink supply on eBay

6:37 pm

jaxx7

Yes, I was

6:37 pm

MollyL

It's not all about you, L : P

6:37 pm

lilliann

I'm doing some chip board butterflies to go on my wall aswell as some chipboard photo frames and i'm colouring them with my spectrum noirs and then stamping some flowers onto them and then putting guilding flakes onto them

6:38 pm

jaxx7

They sound lovely

6:38 pm

Minveryork

I did think about selling the ink on either craigslist or e-bay. Does craigslist do little things like ink? tried to sell my car on craigslist. First time ever posting on CL

6:38 pm

lilliann

Oh, sorry!:P to Molly and yes, Min, i agree with jax, sell them unless you get another printer which will use the same cartridges

6:39 pm

jaxx7

Can you get Gumtree in the States. They do swaps as well as buying and selling

6:39 pm

Minveryork

Also found a nice couch on Craigslist that bought as well.

6:40 pm

lilliann

I must look up Gumtree

6:40 pm

jaxx7

When I had the same problem, I used my inks in a part-exchange with the computer tech who came to sort my PC out.

6:41 pm

That sounds dodgy - don't get excited Molly. He gave me a dsicount on the repair bill

7:26 pm

Dorens

7:28 pm

Dorens

hello cross

7:29 pm

Dorens

a bientot une

7:29 pm

lilliann

Hi Crossy

7:30 pm

lilliann

Dorens'which one are you, i know Min, as she told us this morning last night, and i think i know a couple of the others

7:30 pm

Dorens

i'm the redhead. but maybe the color isn't clear?

7:31 pm

Dorens

far right

7:33 pm

lilliann

ahh and you are 64?? Get out of it!!i hope i look as good as you when i get to your young age:D

7:34 pm

Dorens

well lil, i look young, that's true... but about thirty pounds beyond what used to be too heavy for me!

7:34 pm

lilliann

Sorry, that sounds awful, but i still think you look great

7:34 pm

lilliann

Sorry for telling everyone your age..

7:34 pm

Dorens

thanks... i'll take the compliment

7:35 pm

Minveryork

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

7:35 pm

lilliann

Majority of us get bigger as we get older....

7:35 pm

Dorens

not a problem... i tell everyone my age myself - nothing to be ashamed of... i've earned the years and the wisdom that came with them (not that i'm that wise)

7:36 pm

crosshair

true words indeed, lillian

7:37 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Dorens for being discrete about my identity. I told other babblers who I was.I've been curious about previous babble meet-up pictures so I understand the curiosity. It is always nice to put a face with a name.

7:38 pm

Minveryork

Dorens and I have freely posted our ages in our profiles.

7:38 pm

mkg

hi all. any clues for the i word bottom corner i? i thought i had it but i dont.

7:39 pm

Dorens

oh i agree min... somewhat saner to know what these people look like... spending years chatting and thinking you know someone but no idea of how they look.
was just telling my friend from high school who i'm bunking with the night that i dine with kj and ru about them. and he doesn't really understand how we know each other...

7:39 pm

mkg

oops sorry. i do have it. ouch.

7:39 pm

Minveryork

Don't understood why we're ashamed/embarrassed to say how old they are. Getting old or older is a part of life. It happens to all of us no matter what.

7:39 pm

Dorens

same here

7:40 pm

mkg

ditto min. i am 66 and have always be proud of my age. i have accomplished a lot. i have had a good life. i have lots of kids and 18 grandkids. i am thrilled to be alive and mostly well at this age.

7:40 pm

lilliann

i must admit it is nice to put a face to a name which is nice with facebook but i haven't done that for a while and i tend to put something else for my icon from time to time

7:41 pm

lilliann

My age is normally in my profile

7:41 pm

mkg

how about a clue for a D word for D in 5th column? just one of them

7:41 pm

crosshair

life is well designed, people get old so they can teach the young.

7:41 pm

Dorens

lil. i don't think i've seen your face... facebook? will check you out!

7:42 pm

lilliann

I have 2 accounts dorens, but i think the one you'll be on has flowers as my icon

7:42 pm

lilliann

I think there are some pictures of me in the gallery though? I can't remember

7:43 pm

mkg

must go to get hubby.

7:43 pm

Minveryork

I am on FaceBook, but I am not a part of the Babble page

7:43 pm

lilliann

7:43 pm
