1:00 am

grannyrose

wonderful day liz. don and i have been out for lunch, celebrating both out birthdays. we went to a wonderful place called alfred's homestead.

1:00 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely - rural and farm-ish. What did you have to eat?

1:01 am

grannyrose

anything that wasn't nailed down.....

1:01 am

Lizlin

LOL - or presumably wasn't already not breathing!

1:02 am

grannyrose

it is an all you can eat buffet. hot and cold, with soups available. fresh bread. and real butter. desserts enough to feed a regiment.

1:02 am

Lizlin

thanks for the po 7

1:02 am

grannyrose

we finished with an irish coffee

1:03 am

Lizlin

Sounsd wonderful - recipe for overeating, for sure.

1:03 am

Lizlin

Yummmmm

1:03 am

grannyrose

they do have their own website, liz

1:05 am

Lizlin

The photos look mouthwatering.

1:05 am

Lizlin

Is it close to where you live?

1:05 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, about a 40 minute drive. so not too bad.

1:06 am

Lizlin

Not too bad at all.

1:07 am

grannyrose

it's worth the drive for the food. the hot buffet includes a full carvery.

1:07 am

Lizlin

Might mention it to family - about 30 minutes from stepson according to google maps

1:09 am

grannyrose

considering the amount of food eaten, it is good value for money. i recommend the lunch time over the dinner.

1:10 am

Lizlin

Definitely good to know.

1:10 am

grannyrose

oh, and the drinks are very reasonably priced.

1:10 am

Lizlin

So now you're feeling full and sleepy, I'd imagine ;)

1:11 am

grannyrose

come here don, let me feel you.

1:11 am

Lizlin

lolol

1:11 am

grannyrose

don says he's not full AND sleepy

1:12 am

Lizlin

Not sleepy sounds good - especially after a few drinks :)

1:13 am

grannyrose

only the one, the coffee. we had a jug of lemon, lime and bitters between us.

1:14 am

Lizlin

I love lemon, lime and bitters. Had never heard of it before I moved to Aus.

1:14 am

grannyrose

but i checked out their wine prices. a bottle of moscato was only $12

1:14 am

Lizlin

Sounds reasonable.

1:16 am

Lizlin

15 left but need to go. Back later tonight. Have a good evening. Hugs :)

1:17 am

grannyrose

2:04 am

grannyrose

2:04 am

Lizlin

Hint for the c pls - only 14 left but still a blank c :(

2:04 am

grannyrose

my usual entry call. co5

2:04 am

Lizlin

Well, I'll think about it - but like I said, more often it's down to the iPad.

2:04 am

gapeach

I'm back.

2:05 am

sprite

one combo is like calling rose

2:05 am

Lizlin

How on earth did I miss that???? Must be sleepy!

2:05 am

sprite

wb peach

2:05 am

Lizlin

Hi Peach

2:05 am

grannyrose

wb peach. replenished, dear?

2:05 am

gapeach

Yes, thanks. I have strange eating times.

2:06 am

gapeach

Hi there, Liz. How are you today?

2:06 am

Lizlin

Any eating time is good in my opinion.

2:06 am

sprite

Liz, sure, as long as it is the iPad, np. As long as you join us whenever you can :)

2:06 am

gapeach

Oh, yeah.

2:06 am

Lizlin

I'm very well, thanks, Peach. Hope you are too.

2:06 am

sprite

especially when it is bread, right Liz :D

2:06 am

grannyrose

*giggle* if we all ate only when we needed to eat, most of us wouldn't have a weight problem. i include myself in this group.

2:06 am

gapeach

Doing better. Just fighting the pollen now.

2:07 am

sprite

amen to that

2:07 am

Lizlin

Yup! Amazing how much you miss it when you can't have it and it's not as though I usually eat that much bread.

2:07 am

Lizlin

I know that feeling Peach - only too well.

2:07 am

Lizlin

Have definitely O.D'd on bread, butter and marmite today :)

2:08 am

sprite

*grin* Good job.

2:08 am

Lizlin

My hay fever season is totally unpredictable here - not like the UK at all, when i knew exactly when I'd be affected.

2:09 am

sprite

are there that much pollen at the beach ?

2:09 am

grannyrose

my friend and i would sit down with a freshly baked loaf of white bread, and a can of condensed milk. we never stood up until it was all gone.

2:09 am

Lizlin

Less so by the beach (need to move there) except for the Norfolk Pine Trees but we're surrounded by grass and trees here.

2:10 am

Lizlin

We made bread today as well, so had to try that too.

2:11 am

sprite

ah I see. It is so very uncomfortable, hay fever :(

2:11 am

Lizlin

Makes me feel exhausted and bad-tempered :(

2:11 am

Lizlin

As well as the itchy eyes.

2:11 am

sprite

fresh white bread, I can follow. But what did you do with the condensed milk, rose?

2:12 am

sprite

oh Liz, so hay fever is like teenager kids?

2:12 am

grannyrose

put it on the bread, of course.

2:12 am

Lizlin

LOLOL - love that analogy.

2:12 am

sprite

but but but that would make the bread soggy!

2:12 am

Lizlin

Never had condensed milk.

2:12 am

Lizlin

I agree - wouldn't want soggy bread!

2:13 am

grannyrose

the milk we bought was thick and syrupy.

2:13 am

Lizlin

I'll stick to honey and golden syrup ;)

2:13 am

grannyrose

besides the bread didn't stay on the plate that long....lolol

2:20 am

sprite

funny how every grid at some point start looking like there cannot be any more words hiding in there. And then you look at the word count and know you are just barely at 2/3.

2:20 am

Lizlin

Know what you mean.

2:20 am

Lizlin

But then you break the barrier and find more.

2:21 am

sprite

true. Second wind is fun :)

2:21 am

Lizlin

3 left but need to go and shower before we go out. So, hugs to all :)

2:22 am

sprite

*hugs* liz, and your beloved too. Have fun!

2:24 am

sprite

squirrel, rose? :)

2:25 am

grannyrose

nope, i am here. xoxox

2:25 am

sprite

*grins* Good!

2:25 am

sprite

how are you today?

2:26 am

grannyrose

i was good until about an hour ago. *sigh*

2:26 am

grannyrose

we went out for lunch, an all you can eat buffet.

2:26 am

sprite

ouch. Maybe done a little bit too much yesterday? It sounded like it?

2:27 am

grannyrose

i have my patches on, and the pain is burning up my thigh.

2:27 am

sprite

poor darling *healing vibes*

2:29 am

grannyrose

i took an endone. *sigh, again* i wanted to hold out, but i was in tears, it was that bad.

2:30 am

sprite

for me, when I overtax myself, I am in extra pain right afterwards, but that is not the killer. It is the afterpain, that comes the next day and builds up towards the day after that that does me in.

2:31 am

sprite

that is what the endone is for, darling. When you are in excruciating pain, you take an endone.

2:32 am

grannyrose

but i don't have the FM pain anything like it was...still...

2:32 am

gapeach

My peeps....I'm tired now....think I'll call it a night. Blessings all.

2:32 am

sprite

that is a wonderful sign. You seem to be reacting perfectly to the treatment.

2:32 am

sprite

night peach, sleep well

2:33 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams, dear peach

2:35 am

grannyrose

oh, and the whole body jerks have started again. like when you drift off, and you jump, like you are falling?

2:35 am

sprite

yeah

2:36 am

grannyrose

only i am wide awake. and my right arm has the shakes on and off.

2:36 am

sprite

so very unpleasant :( Poor rose.

2:37 am

grannyrose

trying to do the on-line jigsaws are very taxing. trying to pick the piece up and move it into place.

2:39 am

sprite

yeah I can see how that would be very taxing. Small precise movements, and not easy to relax the muscles in between

2:56 am

grannyrose

how you doing with the grid,sprite?

2:57 am

sprite

almost done. Time for you to go, my dear friend?

2:57 am

grannyrose

no, just wanted to poke you a little....lol

2:57 am

sprite

roflol

2:57 am

sprite

*pokes back*

2:58 am

grannyrose

ouch, that was my eye.

2:58 am

grannyrose

*sniff* doooonnnn, look at what sprite did to me!!

2:58 am

sprite

so sorry. Was aiming for your ribs.

2:59 am

grannyrose

well, could you please look up from the keyboard next time?

3:00 am

sprite

what, and see that angry look of hurt on your face? Nahhhh.

3:00 am

sprite

wouldn't dare

3:01 am

grannyrose

but i look really good red and purple.

3:02 am

sprite

you look really good in anything. Or nothing. Still... you look too dangerous right after being poked :D

3:03 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL don is standing on the other side of the bed, doing a full monty strip. gosh, he is so funny.

3:03 am

sprite

lolllll aw that is so sweet.

3:04 am

grannyrose

i don't think me laughing was quite the effect he was looking for. * chuckle *

3:04 am

sprite

omg rose, go gently on his fragile male ego!

3:05 am

sprite

jeezzz louise... mantra for this grid: past tense, past tense, past tense. Last 7 words all past tenses I had forgotten.

3:06 am

sprite

fireflies

3:06 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!!

3:06 am

sprite

*giggles* Thanks darling. Now go and ravish your guy :D

3:07 am

grannyrose

a tad early here...still pre-dinner legover....hmmm not a bad idea.

3:08 am

sprite

:D *hugs* my darling. Have fun. Enjoy dinner afterwards. And may you have a painfree sleep.

3:08 am

grannyrose

thanx my friend. i hope your day is going to be okay for you. any major plans?

3:09 am

sprite

I have to be a taxi service today. Driving daughter and husband to various destinations. Laundry in between. Walk with Terra this afternoon. The end :)

3:10 am

grannyrose

hmmm, not hard. at least sitting while driving.

3:11 am

6:10 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

7:34 am

bichon

There's no way there's 146 words in this grid

7:36 am

MollyL

What surprised me (with 13 vowels) is that only two tiles are unplayable

7:37 am

bichon

and that's if you count the y as a vowel

7:38 am

MollyL

No, it's 14 if you count the y as a vowel

7:39 am

bichon

ok

7:44 am

7:57 am

phaeton

7:57 am

MollyL

Sounds like a pig call

7:57 am

MLFAN17

7:57 am

MLFAN17

7:58 am

phaeton

7:58 am

MollyL

No, not how you call a pig

when is American going to go metric - I am now at the stage where I need to convert everything

8:22 am

lynxxx

That's cute - we are going to be 70 tomorrow

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

well, time to get moving, it's going to be a beautiful day

8:30 am

lynn, Americans are never, never going to convert to metric. For some people metric is "un-American" [not joking]

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

8:33 am

lynxxx

enjoy your day Owl

8:34 am

Anniebrook

bye owl, enjoy the day

8:36 am

lynxxx

Bichon - and yet the currency is. Do your tradesmen use metric? (they tended to here even before we officially changed as it was more accurate)

8:37 am

bichon

Scientists, engineers, doctors use metric in their work, but outside of that, they don't

8:40 am

bichon

8:47 am

bichon

Yes, Custer was there

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

Yes. Sorry. Was on the phone for a mo. A cluster of vowels.

Nice, Judi.

9:44 am

9:44 am

Scrabbler

I still have snow in my yard--big piles that slid off of the roof.

9:44 am

Judi

Citrus fruit, if that helps.

9:44 am

hego

no dbl cons.

9:45 am

Judi

Are the windows and floors all repaired/replaced yet, Scrabbs?

9:45 am

hego

Scrab, are your windows all fixed?

9:46 am

Judi

One of those weird, serendipitous cross polinations that turned into money.

9:47 am

Scrabbler

No, I still have 5 boarded windows. And, now that much of the snow has melted in front, I see lots of broken glass that I will clean up later.

9:47 am

hego

Such a mess.

9:47 am

Judi

Arrgh. What is taking so long on the windows?

9:48 am

Scrabbler

2 of the windows are double-paned, so I guess they take longer to get. They were ordered 4 weeks ago yesterday.

9:49 am

Aloyisius

all z words share the same root, zo4.9

9:49 am

Scrabbler

Hi Kaplan

9:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hi hego.

9:50 am

Scrabbler

The best intro!

9:50 am

Aloyisius

hi Kaplan

9:50 am

Judi

You could invite some graffit artists in to brighten up the plywood.

9:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hi

9:52 am

Erda

9:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

Better is 69.

9:52 am

Aloyisius

yw

9:52 am

Judi

Sure, why not? They are just going to get covered over with carpet or other flooring. Or, just pour a paint puddle and let the rabbits hop around. Bunny print flooring. It'll sweep the nation.

9:52 am

hego

Kind of sad watching all the great rockers getting old.

9:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

They still rock though.

9:53 am

hego

True Kap.

9:53 am

Judi

Is Bette Midler considered a "rocker"?

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Judi, these boards are on the windows, so the bunnies won't hop on them, but I could paint them still.

9:54 am

Aloyisius

Kap, I can't wait to reach 70, bc neither my grandma nor my mom made it to that age.. will celebrate for sure if I am lucky enough to set a new record

9:54 am

hego

I wish they would get haircuts like Eric Clapton. Gray hair looks awful all wild and long. lol

9:54 am

Judi

Ah.

9:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

Old guys with long hair and guitars. If you cut the hair and put them in truck, they would like like any other old guy from the heartland.

9:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

Agreed.

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Celebrating a birthday is a privilege when you think about the people born in your birthyear that are no longer here.

9:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

There was just a supergroup benefit in in town, and it just looked like old guys without haircuts.

9:55 am

hego

No Bette is NOT a rocker!

9:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

No- she is a torch singer, cabaret star, vaudevillian and force of nature.

9:56 am

hego

HAHAHA Kap.

9:56 am

Scrabbler

The Rolling Stones are coming here to Buffalo in July and the tickets are are very expensive, especially considering the guys are old men with Swiss cheese brains from drug and alcohol use.

9:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

70 seems a lot younger than it used to be. My mom only made it to 60.

9:56 am

hego

yes, they are.

9:56 am

hego

My mom died at 92.

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Wow, Hego.

9:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

Mick Jagger is a nice man, according to a colleague who (never lets anyone forget that he) knows him.

9:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ron Wood is evil.

9:57 am

hego

Scrab, how old is your mom?

9:57 am

Scrabbler

My mother will be 84 on JUne 2.

9:57 am

Aloyisius

longevity genes!

9:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

92, if I have my brains and body relatively agile, but the prognosis for me isn't that good.

9:57 am

Judi

The Rolling Stones just need to go away. They piss me off with their exhorbitant concert prices. They should be playing to the blue hairs in Vegas. (No offense to any blue hairs who may be present/and/or Stones fans).

9:58 am

hego

Yes, Kap all of his wives said so.

9:58 am

Scrabbler

Her mother died at 90 and her father was 87.

9:58 am

hego

Yes, my family is very long lived also.

9:59 am

hego

Judi, I agree (as a blue hair) lol

9:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

Blue hair like old ladies, or punk kids? Is it like blue blood?

10:00 am

hego

Actually my hair is 50 shades of gray. haha

10:00 am

Judi

It just galls me, hego. They have more money than God and they still gouge people for concert tickets.

10:01 am

hego

And the same old material.

10:03 am

Aloyisius

fw: for the heck of it, counted five words with the latin ae ending .. any clues needed before I scoot? I like your hair color, hego, lol

10:03 am

You'd think they would have got some satisfaction by now.

And now it is time for Crossy's quote of the day!!

11:19 am

crosshair

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."--Douglas Adams

11:20 am

Their live concerts are a blast, at least the one in Missoula was. But that was about 5 years ago.

11:20 am

harpjane

good quote!

11:23 am

rururocks

I saw them at the Oakland Coliseum decades ago.. but the sound was horrible.. so hard to tell..

11:23 am

crosshair

Have the same problem when I listen to them on the raido:)

11:23 am

rururocks

I am a Stones fan though.. but think they should retire.. it's amazing people will pay to see them still

11:24 am

Scrabbler

Good quote, Crossy.

11:24 am

... you don't go to hear them sing ... ... you go to remember hearing them sing fifty years ago

11:28 am

Ticket prices for concerts are insane, no matter who the artist is. If you want to get flabbergasted, go see what people are paying to take their kids to see One Direction.

Trifioso

just to jump in, quickly - embrace groupon. We saw Bon Jovi, and Fleetwood Mac, and paid $20 each

11:30 am

crosshair

If they do not have it any longer, then people should not buy the uber-expensive tickets. As long as the public is still willing to fill the seats then they will keep croaking out the tunes.

11:30 am

rururocks

you'd have to pay me $2,000 just to go to a Fleetwood Mac concert

11:31 am

1:07 pm

asdsa

can i get clues for the 7's?

1:09 pm

MollyL

I've suddenly made sense of so much

1:18 pm

jmully

po6/7 is some odd citrus i never heard of, and its plural

1:19 pm

dcseain

it's a grapefruit crosse, thick-skinned, grapefruit-sized and sweet.

1:20 pm

jmully

em6/7: an empath would pale at the thought; and it's past tense

1:27 pm

jmully

rr as clues one uses whatever comes to hand

1:37 pm

Patxxx

Help! Most times when I come out of the grid for a time I lose words, which I don't immediately notice, or remember for that matter, and I am going backwards instead of hitting the finishing line. I refresh and I hope it puts them back but don't know for sure. Then it happens again and again. Aaargh.....

1:39 pm

MollyL

This is a flaw in the program. Try refreshing every time you leave. If you don't refresh before you leave, you WILL lose words from your word list. It happened to me a lot before I figured out the refresh before you leave thing.

1:40 pm

Patxxx

Oh Molly thanks so much. I thought I was being daft. Will do as you say.

1:40 pm

MollyL

You can also copy and paste your word list into a Word document, but that is very time consuming.

1:40 pm

Patxxx

mael

1:41 pm

Patxxx

Ignore that dyslectic attempt please. Sorry!

1:41 pm

MollyL

Not a word, but a player, and she gets the Queen For A Day tiara.

1:47 pm

rolin

queen for a day..?.. wow that's an ancient reference

1:55 pm

MollyL

*Admits to remembering ancient things*

2:02 pm

mattygroves

I've had a look at the chat archive, and get that the po7 is a type of fruit...but i'm really not seeing it (I have the hair treatment PO6 but it's nowt to do with that, methinks)

2:03 pm

jmully

it's not one i heard of before. rhymes with pamela

2:07 pm

mattygroves

Cheers

2:10 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon, Everyone.

2:13 pm

doseffing

... think the french word for apple ... it will get you to a po6 ... which when pluralled is a po7

2:14 pm

Nef

thanks dose, I tried the po 6 several times, but it wouldn't "stick" until now, after I put the po 7 in. (not sure why that happens....)

2:15 pm

MollyL

That usually happens because of a misspelling. Words that work in the grid always stick

2:16 pm

Nef

Then it's my computer, huh?

2:18 pm

Nef

If I enter a word & it doesn't take; I slow down & try retyping it again. But there are times it just seems to work if I enter the pl or the PT before the base word sticks

2:18 pm

doseffing

... or my usual trick of flashing fingers which type faster than the keys can respond but I see the letters appear whether they're there or not

2:19 pm

MollyL

Never heard that one before Nef. Could be an autocorrect malfunction. It's really better to turn that off when playing here.

2:20 pm

doseffing

... or I see a word which is so obvious that I go on to the next more difficult word believing that I've typed the first ... which of course can never be found again until much much later ... because I know that I typed it

2:22 pm

Nef

I suppose it could be autocorrect; I try to turn it off, but it seems to prefer being on all the time.

2:22 pm

doseffing

... oh well ... there's three quarters ... maybe some more after dinner ... luck to all ...

2:22 pm

Nef

and dose; I'm as guilty of skipping those simple words too

2:22 pm

MollyL

It's always a good idea to look at your ADD WORD box after you have typed in a word, to see if you have typed it in correctly. No need to race here.

2:28 pm

rururocks

who has that much time molly?

2:30 pm

rururocks

I like to get in.. and get er done

2:30 pm

rururocks

the grid that is

2:32 pm

Nef

I'm glad you explained that ruru

2:32 pm

Patxxx

Just realised that apart from missing words I have experienced several of the 'odd actions' you mention. Could it be that they have deliberately programmed an 'obstacle course' into Babble. Would make the game last longer and us more observant. Or MAD!

2:33 pm

rururocks

the only odd actions I've seen around here are..oh never mind

2:38 pm

MollyL

No odd actions (other than the ones Ru was about to mention) The program is old and is not getting regular maintenance.

2:39 pm

MollyL

Ru, who has that much time? Perhaps the people who read chat from flip to 11:59.

2:42 pm

Nef

BBL, need to help DH for a while (he has a new computer & he's arguing with it).

2:46 pm

Hi Patx

2:53 pm

bichon

It wasn't even a word. Chillaxe

2:54 pm

rururocks

it is probably a foreign coin somewhere that loto.. bichon :D

2:54 pm

Patxxx

Thank you MollyL and Ruru. I could blame the inattention on the cat as he is trying to persuade me he hasn't been fed all week. I hoped it might be a word when I typed so the crime was with intent and neglect. I think!!! ?

2:54 pm

MollyL

Oh cool. Bich is all hip with the internet lingo.

2:55 pm

bichon

It's a new word in the OED too

2:58 pm

rururocks

well... then.. with "intent".. that sounds way more serious

2:59 pm

Patxxx

So often 'New and Modern COOL' words turn out to have a medieval period origin.

2:59 pm

rururocks

I am stalling doing more housework

2:59 pm

rururocks

3:00 pm

3:03 pm

3:04 pm

rururocks

3:04 pm

hego

3:04 pm

MollyL

*Weeps for the downtrodden house cleaner*

3:05 pm

Patxxx

I'm finished. My brain, or what passes for it, is tired. Still got 29. Ta for the tips x

3:05 pm

Don't weep, they make a good buck.
