3:06 am
flosey
my bridge partner lives at one end of the Island and they were out of power for a few days - they have a farm, horses, chickens, etc so are also well prepared for such outages
3:07 am
puglet
they would prbably have to be with all that to care for
3:07 am
sprite
yes indeed.
3:08 am
flosey
they have a lovely spot, on the water
3:08 am
sprite
so close to eggnog
3:08 am
puglet

3:08 am
flosey

3:23 am
puglet

3:23 am
flosey

3:24 am
sprite
that is not morning, that is night in my book, lol
3:24 am
flosey

3:24 am

3:34 am
puglet

flosey
I must get back to bed and, hopefully, sleep this time
3:41 am
joso
I'm feeling alot better than I have for a long time sprite
3:41 am
sprite
and you, joso. Was just thinking of you yesterday. Didn't write much in the last few weeks, sorry. Will get back to it though.
3:41 am
joso
rest well flosey
3:41 am
sprite

3:41 am
puglet

3:41 am
sprite
I hope you can sleep now, flosey. *hugs* and may there be a kind angel guiding you to pretty dreams.
3:42 am
puglet
I too am glad you are feeling better Joso
3:44 am
joso
well you must be psychic sprite, recovering from what is today minor heart surgery, but it did have me somewhat worried going in, less than 1% chance of death is 1% more than I want
3:46 am
sprite
oh dear! That is at least 5% more than I wish for you. How are you feeling now? Recuperating well?
3:47 am
joso
io feel great, better than I have for over a year, nice not to have chest pains whenever i exert myself.
3:48 am
sprite
am so glad! *hugs*
3:48 am
joso
good to hear you are still writing,
3:48 am
puglet
so glad for you too Joso
3:49 am
sprite
I got lazy, joso, and didn't write for weeks on end. But now that the therapy is finally over, things are getting back into shape.
3:50 am
joso
saw a movie that featured a pug I think you would love pug, a cartoon called the nut job
3:50 am
puglet
that sounds right up my alley--lol
3:52 am
puglet
since you are a new man now does that mean we get to see you more often on here
3:52 am
joso
well I hope the therapy was worth the trouble Sprite, and glad to here you are writing again
3:53 am
sprite
oh it was, joso. Learned a lot and am using it, and things are going pretty well.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
good morning
3:54 am

hi ruby :)
3:54 am

Morning Ruby, hugs
3:54 am

hello joso!
3:54 am
rubyfoo
{{little pugs}}
3:55 am
joso
has France been treating you well ruby?
3:56 am
sprite
fireflies for me.
3:57 am
rubyfoo
Pugs: did you ever think about ho few people in the world have red hair and how that makes you truly special? Everybody in Asia and Africa. All Indians (Amer and Asian) Most Hispanics.
3:57 am
puglet
congrats Sprite!
3:57 am
joso
congrats sprite
3:57 am
rubyfoo
I was thinking about that yesterday, that probably 80 percent of the word's people have black hair
3:57 am
sprite
pugs would have been special, even if she had been darkhaired, lol.
3:57 am
rubyfoo
and bron eyes
3:58 am
rubyfoo
yay, sprite
3:58 am
puglet
no I didnt Ruby and I dont feel special but marked--lol
3:58 am
rubyfoo
or even brown*
3:58 am
puglet
ahh thanks Sprite
3:59 am
joso
yes, pugs is a little gem irregardless of appearance
4:00 am
sprite
*hugs* to you all. I wish you a blessed day and a peaceful night.
4:00 am
rubyfoo
what color are your eyes,pug?
4:00 am
puglet
same to you Sprite and have a fun day too--hugs and bye
4:00 am
puglet
I got blue Ruby
4:01 am
joso
g'night sprite, rest well
4:01 am
puglet
thats nice of you to say Joso, ty
4:01 am
rubyfoo
again, that sets you apart! Most of those black-haired people have brown eyes
4:03 am
puglet
what color are your eyes Ruby
4:03 am
joso
blue is cool, I've got brown hair and hazel eyes (brown but in just the right light you can see a bit of green, but mostly brown)
4:03 am
rubyfoo
green and hazel are the rarest eye colors I think
4:04 am
rubyfoo
I'm just ordinary brown/brown But my son has pale blue eyes, so I was a hybrid
4:04 am
puglet
see there Joso you are a rare gem too--lol
4:04 am
rubyfoo
my father was a curly blue-eyed blonde
4:04 am
puglet
I like brown eyes Ruby
4:05 am
joso
I think the pink bunny eyes of an albino are probably the rarest
4:05 am
joso
what about you ruby
4:06 am
puglet
you are probablly right Joso on the pink eyes
4:06 am
rubyfoo
As you can see, I am (boringly) interested in that stuff and genetics
4:07 am
puglet
you are not boring Ruby by far are you
4:07 am
rubyfoo
Have you ever seen an albino black person? They have red hair, very white skin and pink eyes
4:07 am
puglet
just on tv Ruby
4:08 am
joso
blone, blue eyes, tall, and pretty/handsome people have serious advantages in this world
4:08 am
rubyfoo
when I talk to my husband about anything like that, his eyes just glaze over
4:08 am
puglet
isnt that the truth Joso
4:08 am
rubyfoo
my father was very handsome but short
4:09 am
joso
i much prefer chatting with those who know something, it's the funnest way to learn new stuff
4:10 am
rubyfoo
actually, U'm very tall and blonde NOT! lol
4:11 am
joso
3 out of 4 probably served him well in life
4:11 am
puglet
is that with you heels Ruby-LOL
4:11 am
rubyfoo
I used to be 5 l but not any more
4:13 am
joso
yea, I used to be close to 6 feet, now I'm close to close to 6 feet
4:14 am
puglet
well you are tall Joso then
4:14 am
rubyfoo
when I dress up (rarely), I wear platforms with 4" heels
4:14 am
rubyfoo
still not tall but at least not midget-ish
4:14 am
joso
for world average maybe, but for north anerican average male I think not, average
4:15 am
puglet
I bet you are just fine the way you are Ruby
4:15 am
rubyfoo
ty for the vote of confidence
4:16 am
puglet
I dont think looks is the most important thing of a person anyway
4:17 am
joso
I'm not sure, but i think height might be less important for females
4:17 am
rubyfoo
tall women just look better in clothes
4:18 am
rubyfoo
I think when we're young, looks are very important. Older, just being alive is what counts!
4:18 am
joso
and short women look better without?
4:18 am
rubyfoo
maybe....
4:19 am
puglet
thats one thing nice about the computer--you can love people with out knowing their looks unless its posted
4:19 am
pink17
hi everyone
4:20 am
puglet
HI Pink--how are you
4:21 am
pink17
im great ty good to see you been a bit
4:21 am
joso
I think looks are more important to women than men, important for both, but more so height for men and looks for women. if we where all solomon-jesus-ghandi-mandella-mother terresa appearance would matter alot less, but such is not the case
4:22 am
pink17

4:29 am
rubyfoo

4:29 am
rubyfoo

4:30 am
pink17
muddy feet too ruby my collie never ate anything just stood in it lol
4:31 am
rubyfoo

4:31 am
puglet
I hope you are planning on taking better care of yourself now Joso, not that Iam being bossy but hate to see you getting ill again

Hi and Hugs Liz
4:49 am
Lizlin
How are you doing, Pugs?
4:49 am
joso
tnx liz, hope all is well with you and yours
4:50 am
Lizlin
All's good here thanks
4:50 am
puglet
doing okay Liz and YOU? hows the toes
4:50 am
Lizlin
About 95% Pugs. It stormed for a bit today so I put on shoes for the first time - toes ached a bit. Debating about going to the gym tomorrow. Will see how they are then!
4:51 am
puglet
glad they are getting better
4:51 am
Lizlin
Thanks! It was such a stupid thing!
4:52 am
joso
what's up with the toes?
4:52 am
puglet
just one of those things but that didnt make the pain any less
4:52 am
Lizlin
I slipped on the tiles in our hall and slammed my toes into the wall. Only bruised thank goodness but pretty painful!
4:53 am
Lizlin
Disadvantage of hot climate and bare feet!
4:53 am
joso
severe stubbing, makes me wince just to hear about it
4:53 am
Lizlin
I must admit i yelped!
4:54 am
Lizlin
Hobbled around for 2 days - not a good sight!
4:54 am
puglet
they still black and blue
4:55 am
Lizlin
A bit! One toe was pretty red when i took my trainers off after shopping! But definitely getting better. Blue nail polish hides what it looks like under the nail!
4:56 am
puglet
I hope you dont lose the nail
4:56 am
joso
as for me, the put in 3 stents, first done in the 80's and now minor procedure, and I feel like they've removed 20 years from my age
4:56 am
Lizlin
Don't think I will - I sort of clenched my toes to try and stop myself falling, so it's more just below the nail, on the joint that I hurt myself.
4:57 am
Lizlin
That's awesome Joso - it will make such a difference to you.
4:58 am
puglet
thats all that bad eating and smoking and Iam soooo glad you got it done Joso before worse could happen
4:58 am
Lizlin
Very true Pugs - got to be good now Joso!!!
4:58 am
joso
it will, will no longer gasp and clutch my chest after a flight of stairs, or die in6-12 months
4:58 am
Lizlin
Not dying is always a good option.
4:59 am
puglet
now that you got a second chance--make sure you take care of yourself
4:59 am
joso
always my first choice
4:59 am
Lizlin
I 2nd that!
4:59 am
Lizlin
OK - off to watch a rerun of Minority Report on TV. Haven't seen it for years. Hugs and good to catch up with you both :)

Hi crossy
7:15 am
ladycece920
i agree
7:16 am
crosshair
it is much like the tale of the old Japanese woman carrying two buckets of water but one bucket has a small hole in it. have you heard of this one?
7:16 am
ladycece920
no i haven't
7:18 am
crosshair
well, she walked the same path for many years , from well to her hut by the sea carrying two buckets of water. One bucket was fine and strong and was proud to hold the water for the woman, while the other bucket was sad because water would leak from a hole that was in his side, so when the old woman came to her hut, the leaky bucket was half full...
7:19 am
ladycece920
so how come you can't put a t in front of the oo6 ??
7:20 am
crosshair
The old woman heard the bucket speaking many years later of how he was not worthy to carry water for the woman and that the woman should just get another,better bucket and abandon the leaky one...
7:22 am
crosshair
but the old woman spoke to the bucket as she pointed to the side of the road: "look at all those wonderful flowers that line your side of the road. You helped create them over these many years by providing them with water" "They would not be there, but for you" "Do, not be so quick to dismiss something that is not perfect, there is worth in everything"
7:23 am
ladycece920
wonderful :)
7:23 am
crosshair
sorry, had to paraphrase that from memory
7:23 am

nicely done, crossy
7:24 am

TO has that story in her profile. It's a good one.
7:24 am
crosshair
ahh did not know that. For the exact lay of this tale, check TO' profile then
7:25 am
crosshair
any omissions or errors are mine then.
7:25 am

as I said, I did it from memory from when I read this many years ago, but thanks for jumping in for me there, molly:)) now they can see the full story

I should eat more yogurt and oatmeal.. reminds me, I see a blood test form on my desk that I have been avoiding:(
7:33 am
crosshair
He wants to test my cholesterol and sugars
7:34 am
MLFAN17
blood pressure probs cross?
7:34 am
crosshair
2 years ago my cholesterol was fine, but I have been a desk jockey now for 2 years...
7:35 am
crosshair
no, no problems, yet. he does want a peak though since the wifes sugar levels came back borderline on last test for her
7:36 am
crosshair
I can sense a future of being cut off of some of my favorite foods and am procrastinating
7:37 am
MLFAN17
cross whatever helps, right?
7:39 am
MimiCat
((crossy)) With my heart attack and issues I've been really researching all of this. Diet and supplements can be helpful but not what you might normally think should be avoided. Do not take a statin drug! And you probably don't need blood pressure medicine but that can be an option. Want some of the info I've accumulated? If so, I'll send it to your email. The most important one for me is taking additional CoQ10---really brought my energy level up. BTW...you CAN have bacon and real butter is better than margarine.
7:49 am
crosshair
lol, ty ((mimi)). If my doctor puts the hammer down on me, I will def consult you and learn from your experiences
7:50 am
crosshair
and yes, I promise I will get the test done next week and stop procrastinating about it.:)
7:52 am
MimiCat
I had the heart attack because I had a 100% clogged artery. The two main things I've learned are that natural foods are better than processed and carbs are basically the enemy, but should not cut them out completely. Think about it....generations ago they ate bacon and butter and fried things in bacon fat and people were not as fat and were healthier. Now with all the different oil saturations in margarine and the like and the artificial sweeteners and such, people are heavier than ever and heart disease is on the increase.
7:53 am
MimiCat
And...garlic is your best friend...
7:54 am
crosshair
I am learning, but I learn slow. I use only real butter once again and I keep lots of fruit in the house. The big thig for me is to change up those wonderful, greasy breakfasts and substitute some oats, whole grains and yogut once in a while
7:54 am
crosshair
mmm, garlic
7:56 am
crosshair
and I keep a nice selection of quality olive oils on hand now as well
7:57 am
crosshair
i do notice, however, that the better the quality the more they tend to have an expiration date on them.
7:57 am
MimiCat
Careful with the fruit...some have lots of carbs and can mess with your insulin levels. Garlic helps clear the blood vessels...kind of a natural statin. I'm lucky that the lady I work for really knows a lot about this stuff and has been helping me. So, whenever you want any info, I'm glad to tell you what I know.
7:58 am
crosshair
i will remember that mimi. tyvm.:)
7:59 am
MimiCat
Good olive oil is nice but, yes, the ones with an expiration are better for you...natural again. Fresh foods seem to be most important. The fewer processed foods, the better. That's a difficult one for most of us because we want convenience. But it certainly isn't convenient to have a heart attack.
7:59 am
crosshair
my beloved is the one who is borderline atm. Lord knows what my numbers are going to come back like:(
8:00 am
crosshair
yes, we have been avoiding "frankenmeats" as well and going with nice lean deli choices and steering clear of things like bologna and highly processed meats
8:01 am
crosshair
did up a real nice red angus roast of beef a few days ago and i have been in high creative gear ever since making new beef dishes
8:01 am
helensgirlkid
You can freeze olive oil, and extend its fresh life - but it will never be the beautiful clear oil after thawing!
8:02 am
MimiCat
Here is my every day regime: Iced tea using combo black tea and jasmine green tea (probiotics) all day (yes, I use sugar but no artificial sweeteners, supplemental CoQ10, fish oil, magnesium, stress B complex, vitamin D3. I mostly eat rotisserie/lean chicken as my protein (luckily, I love it).
8:02 am
Angelsong
hi, all. it's wet and dark outside. perfect Babble weather.
8:03 am
ivesy3
i know there are many horrible diseses out there but being a diabetic is very hard
8:04 am
crosshair
i did not know you could freeze olive oil. ty for info:)
8:04 am
MimiCat
Your crossy breakfasts, BTW are mostly great---breakfast is the time for those foods and the bacon and eggs are actually good to have. Anyway, lots of info to wade through, so will help when you wish.
8:04 am
crosshair
howdy angel:)
8:05 am
MimiCat
I was told I'm "borderline diabetic" as well since my numbers were coming back too high...but now sure if that's still the case. You're right, ivesy..diabetes is certainly to be avoided if possible. I'm especially nervous about that since when I nearly died 15 years ago my kidneys shut down and I was on dialysis for a time.
8:06 am
crosshair
though i will tell you right now; they will only take my eggs away from me by prying them from my cold, dead, hands:)
8:06 am
MollyL
Mimi, be careful of those rotisserie chickens if you have to watch your sodium
8:06 am
MimiCat
LOL, crossy. The eggs and bacon are FINE...trust me on this one. That's how I feel about cheese.
8:07 am
crosshair
mmmm..cheese...
8:07 am
helensgirlkid
Mayonnaise is better than the transfat alternative, too - real olive oil and real eggs!
8:08 am
helensgirlkid
Watch the cheese - some "processed" cheese (instead of fermented cheeses) have high transfats - and you don't get the full value of the calcium content.
8:08 am
MimiCat
Love the new icon, Molly! Yes, I am watching sodium but I don't eat the skin on those so they're not too bad. And the "diet foods" can really mess you up...natural is better...that should be our mantra.
8:09 am
MollyL
It depends on where you get the rotisserie chicken, but a lot of the grocery stores inject them with "stuff". I roast my own, that way I know what is in/on it.
8:09 am
MimiCat
I'm now also using frozen Open Nature brand chicken tenders. They're made very well and taste great.
8:10 am
MollyL
There is nothing remotely edible about low-fat cheese. I would rather go without.
8:10 am
MimiCat
I often buy them cold before they're put in the roaster...so much of the "treatments" haven't sunk in yet.
8:11 am
crosshair
yes, i posted a while ago on this "plumping" of chickens with saline injections. The ratio can be as high as one pound of saline/brine/ etc for every 10 pounds of meat
8:11 am
helensgirlkid
I have taken to starting with skinless chicken breasts (thighs are less costly, but more fat to trim!) - and marinading them in my own mixtures - fruit juices, vinegar, spices and herbs mixed up in my own kitchen - usually no salt at all.
8:12 am
crosshair
fortunately, they now have to list on the label if the bird has been "plumped"
8:12 am
MimiCat
Yes, helen, again...natural is the key. I don't eat processed cheese. Also, I do love salt but have switched to Celtic Sea Salts...much healthier due to the mineral content, they taste incredibly good, and use MUCH less for the salty taste. Amazon has them, btw, at a good price.
8:12 am
helensgirlkid
It's not just low-fat cheese, Molly - some of the processed cheese are fairly high-fat - but it's not the original saturated fat, it's transfat. Also that calcium problem.
8:13 am
crosshair
i use coarse Med sea salt , mimi:) i find i use half the amount of salt if i have to grind it myself each time
8:14 am
MimiCat
Don't you just love that salty after taste from those, crossy? It's subtle and very pleasant.
8:14 am
helensgirlkid
And to think - I don't actually think of myself as paying a lot of attention to dietary matters! Partly it's because so much of the research and decisions date back to when I had two small children and a miniscule budget. Once you
8:15 am
crosshair
indeed, mimi. and the added bonus of using 50% less over the life of a one pound box is a great thing
8:15 am
MimiCat
I also use tomato paste all the time...just plain tomato paste...very good for you...really helps the skin.
8:15 am
helensgirlkid
ve done it once, you only have to keep up.
8:15 am
helensgirlkid
Sorry - stuttering fingers!
8:15 am
crosshair
i am not big on tomato sauces/pastes. they kill my acid reflux, so i avoid for the most part
8:16 am
crosshair
lol, Helen; my fingers stutter all the tiome:)
8:16 am
MimiCat
Since I have terrible allergies and am constantly stuffed up in my sinuses, I'm now using the Celtic salts in my neti pot.
8:17 am
crosshair
as some resident pilkunnussija's are quick to point out:)))
8:17 am
MimiCat
Unfortunately, green leafy salad does that to me, crossy. My IBS just goes wild if I eat them. That's a shame since they're really good for us. But I do eat fresh cauliflower and broccoli quite a bit and tons of onions.
8:18 am
crosshair
my beloved has issues with dense greens that are hard to digest
8:20 am
MimiCat
I can understand tomato sauces aggravating that, crossy, but a pure tomato paste may not...the acidity is cut WAY back with the paste. Anyway, just a thought.
8:20 am
MollyL
Wow Mimi, you have IBS and you can eat raw broccoli?
8:21 am
crosshair
i will keep that in mind re: the tomato paste:)
8:21 am
MimiCat
No, Molly...i don't eat it raw...that would kill me...must steam first or roast. I use cauliflower in casseroles and roast it with butter and balsamic vinegar with a touch of the seal salts.
8:21 am
crosshair
mmmm salted seals..... lol
8:22 am
MimiCat
LOL...seal salts...the stuttering continues!
8:22 am
crosshair
crossy is king of the keyboard stutter
8:23 am
MimiCat
I love potatoes and bread but have almost totally eliminated them...carbs. Oh, also even though bananas are not as good for us in some ways as we thought, they can actually control blood pressure, crossy, fyi.
8:24 am
MimiCat
Crossy is king of EVERYTHING! (OK, Molly, stop throwing up now.)
8:25 am
MollyL
Potassium is our friend : )
8:25 am
MimiCat
The new no-no is wheat---in ANY form. Finding out terrible side effects from wheat.
8:26 am
helensgirlkid
Go with whole wheat - real whole wheat with the husk ground up with it. Or bulgar wheat (whole seed) steamed (for tabouli!)
8:26 am
MimiCat
I was amazed years ago after the dialysis how many things contain potassium. I had to avoid it for awhile, but that is really difficult. And---the latest one I'm liking is supplemental magnesium...really helps if you have muscle cramping.
8:26 am
MollyL
Yes, everyone and their brother has jumped on the gluten free bandwagon.
8:27 am
helensgirlkid
Thanks for the note on magnesium, Molly - I knew that once, but forgot - now I have occasional cramping in my hands (mostly when I've been chopping veggies, natch)
8:28 am
MollyL
That was Mimi and the magnesium : )
8:28 am
MimiCat
Actually, helen, the info I'm seeing now is that whole wheat is not a good idea. Yes, I know the gluten free thing is now popular. I haven't gone in that exact direction, but avoiding bread as much as I am now rather solves that problem.
8:29 am
MimiCat
Yes, helen, I take magnesium every day now along with my other supplements. I get very bad leg cramps since I sit at the computer and transcribe all day and taking the magnesium has all but eliminated that now. Also, vitamin D3 is a really good one to take...most of us are deficient.
8:30 am
helensgirlkid
About the only bread we eat nowadays is rye - as a treat - and corn breads - you can control the amount of wheat in them.
8:30 am
MollyL
I feel sorry for restaurant owners. It must be hard to keep up with, and accommodate all the gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, lactose intolerant, peanut intolerant kind of stuff.
8:31 am
MimiCat
I still indulge in good artisan bread of different types in a loaf that I break into cubes and back with French onion soup and cheeses...yum!
8:32 am
MimiCat
bake, that is.
8:33 am
helensgirlkid
Thank heaven none of us is peanut intolerant - from those old days a little scoop of peanuts tossed into a stir fry adds to its variety of texture and flavours, and I love it. But I have to keep them frozen (well, all nuts and seeds I keep frozen!)
8:34 am
MimiCat
Helen, I like to use roasted sunflower seeds. They're especially good in the pasta salad I make.
8:35 am
helensgirlkid
Yes, great - also chick peas
8:36 am
MimiCat
When it's so hot here in the summer, making a nice big batch of pasta salad is just the right thing to eat. I put EVERYTHING in there and use a good balsamic vinaigrette for the dressing.
8:38 am
MimiCat
I'm lucky that I like a lot of the things I'm supposed to eat....love veggies (cooked, though) and love chicken and fish. Wish I lived elsewhere for the fish, though...a bit tricky getting fresh fish here in the desert....scary, too!
8:38 am
MimiCat
I do buy frozen fish but it's just not the same...sigh.
8:39 am
helensgirlkid
We get lovely frozen salmon, sole, and whitefish. Flash frozen on the trawler, most of it.
8:39 am
MimiCat
When Aloy visited we had GREAT salmon, though...of course, we were at a 5-star resort.
8:39 am
helensgirlkid
Well, not the whitefish, of course!
8:39 am
crosshair
mmm... that was good; soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers:)
8:40 am
helensgirlkid
My son is in Vancouver, and I think he practically lives on salmon.
8:40 am
helensgirlkid
And goat meat - hard to get here.
8:41 am
MimiCat
We have one specialty grocery store (mostly expensive) that I trust for fresh fish but it isn't close to me. I adore glazed salmon....and so very healthy.
8:41 am
MimiCat
Crossy, when I visit I'll be wanting to consume lots of fresh fish!
8:42 am
MimiCat
Love shrimp, too, but lots of cholesterol in those.
8:42 am
helensgirlkid
There's a halal butcher fairly close that has goat meat, but it sells out fast - and a Jamaican grocery nearby that sometimes has it in, frozen.
8:43 am

i will make sure i have the best on hand mimi, Nice speckled trout from a lake i know in Algonquin park and fresh lighly battered pike cakes like my First Nations godmother used to make for me

My daughter insisted on delaying three weeks - in the hottest June I can recall - I think what set it off was that between being huge and being seriously over-heated (the only top that still fit had a high neck and long sleeves), ( pretty much quit eating. She feared starvation, and gave in.
8:56 am

The good bit of being very pregnant is people opening doors for you (which no one had ever done the year before when I was on crutches, and could have really used it).

the rings on the base of the old one were for wood fired cook stoves. It was to keep the pan just a tiny bit off the actual surface of the stove itself

when flea marketing always keep a sharp eye out for Birmingham pans, even with topical rust, they cam be fully restored and festch a premium

pay up to $50 if needed. When fully reseasoned those in the know will pay $200 or more for this quality pan

Hello freckledcat! Nice to meet you.First time seeing you since you joined us back in Jan. Welcome to Babbleland!
7:16 pm
MollyL
Min is also our Official Babble greeter and cheerleader. She wears a lot of hats. : D

Thank you Min. I play everyday but i stay quiet most of the time.

Tickle fight time!
7:18 pm
freckledcat
Tell me will I improve as I Babble longer?
7:19 pm
Minveryork
Sometimes you are better off that way. I was quiet when I first joined Babble, but the chog is usually so much fun!
7:19 pm
cosdem
yes. I know so many words now. Knowing what they mean is a different story though.
7:19 pm
cosdem
i mean i know cwms is a word. what it means? no clue :)
7:20 pm
MollyL
That depends on what kind of retention you have for obscure foreign currency words and obscure mammal words.
7:21 pm
Minveryork
Hopefully freckeldcat! I joined Babble in 2006, but feel like I could improve a lot more. There are some Babble wizards that I do not even come close to! Those that are able to finish almost every day and those who can babble listless and those who can find words at record speed. I would say that I am still a mediocre babbler.
7:21 pm

Thanks for the tips MollyL
7:21 pm

help with the last ag6 please?
7:22 pm
freckledcat
I do enjoy the dialogue most of the time and I do use some of the clues ( some I don't get). I am glad that I joined.
7:22 pm
MollyL
ag + not in + vowel (speaking of obscure mammals)
7:22 pm
Minveryork
cwms is a valley in Whales. It is pronounced koom though
7:23 pm

thanks molly!
7:24 pm
Minveryork
Hi moule! You & I joined Babbleland about the same time.
7:24 pm
freckledcat
I may not retain but I don't care if I get them all. I just like the game and hope to help my brain to stay active.
7:27 pm
Minveryork
And that is the best attitude to have about this game. It should be FUN not stressful, which it is most of the time.
7:31 pm
MollyL
I think Babble is one of the most challenging word games on the internet. It's actually the only one I dabble in. I've tried other word games and they didn't hold my interest very long.
7:34 pm
moule
I've always found the colors, yellow on green, welcoming.
7:37 pm
cosdem
I concur with Molly
7:37 pm
cosdem
If I had to change one thing though, flip would be every 12 hours.
7:37 pm
Minveryork
I play weboggle & wordtwist too,but not as fun as Babble
7:38 pm
Minveryork
Green and yellow are not my favorite colors. I would like to see a different color scheme, but the game is still fun.
7:38 pm
MollyL
I agree about the colors Min.
7:39 pm
freckledcat
My problem is that I get going and I forget that I do have some responsibilities that I need to take care of !
7:39 pm
MollyL
And Cos, it would be fun to have the flip be in 12 hours instead of 24.

A man was walking along a beach in southern California when God approached him and said the man had been good and kind and he would grant him one wish......the man thought and said, "I would like a bridge from California to Hawaii....so I could drive over instead of flying." God said, "Now you realize that we would have to drill down to the bottom of the ocean for a lot of miles for this......can you think of anything else you would really want/" Again the man thought and said "OK, God, I would really like to know what makes women do the things they do?' God said, "You want two or four lanes?'"
