3:19 pm

3:21 pm

Uneaixoise

what fun!! ENJOY!!

3:22 pm

stidmama

I am enjoying... Grant has the day off so he is helping pull everything out of my studio to make room for a bed and such. Now "all" I have to do is figure out where to store my art supplies until I have time to really sort (next summer...).

3:22 pm

stidmama

Are you doing well? Still ferrying critters back and forth?

3:24 pm

Uneaixoise

ferrying pups every weekend, yes -- a Brittany girl named Dixie tomorrow and a precious terrier boy named Milo on Sunday :-)

3:25 pm

stidmama

I am so proud to know people like you! Thank you for doing this. It shows so much love that there are people who help like this.

3:26 pm

Uneaixoise

You're the one who deserves major kudos for all the great work you do with the kiddos, Stid!

3:28 pm

stidmama

:-D Takes all kinds to make the world a better place, I guess. I love what I do (and I am not -generally- allergic to kids). I have such an interesting, active group this year. Precisely half boys and half girls (last year 3:2 ratio of girls to boys) so the dynamics are very different.

3:28 pm

Uneaixoise

what age(s)?

3:30 pm

stidmama

third grade

They keep me on my toes! Usually I start Monday with a lovely classroom, and by the afternoon it's a disaster again... I'll go in tomorrow and see what the substitute left for me, and then dig in for the last week before vacation. It's always an adventure this time of year.

3:31 pm

Uneaixoise

an adventure I'm sure -- high on sugar and dreams of Santa :-)

3:31 pm

stidmama

exactly

3:31 pm

Uneaixoise

Hi Soodle, That is so wonderful. You will have a houseful of happiness!

4:19 pm

Soodle

Lol Diane! I will have a houseful of arguments, bickering & squabbling, but I just love to have them all under my roof together.

4:20 pm

Dianne

So you're saying - not much different than when they lived at home !

4:24 pm

Soodle

Exactly!!! And I miss those days! So bring Christmas on. And, add in my octogenerian mother to the mix.... She could start a fight on her own in a phone booth, so at least I won't have a boring Christmas:-)

4:26 pm

Dianne

Sorry, I stepped away for a minute. You must have a good size home for this brood. What are you planning on cooking?

4:30 pm

Soodle

Oh! Traditional Christmas fare.... Turkey, ham, 4 different types of potatoes (we are Irish!!) brussels sprouts, carrots, prawn cocktail to start & Christmas pudding for dessert. Uninspired, but traditional!

4:30 pm

Dianne

Wow - you could feed an army with all that - it sounds fantastic!

4:35 pm

Soodle

well - the beauty of our Christmas dinner is that the troops can graze on cold cuts for a few days afterwards.... I pull out all the stops on December 25th, then its pot luck for at least 3 days thereafter!

4:36 pm

Dianne

Have you ever made roasted brussels sprouts?

4:36 pm

Soodle

What about you, Diane? Do you celebrate Christmas? If so, what do you do?

4:37 pm

jesdraggon

afternoon :)

4:37 pm

Soodle

Hiya Jes:-)

4:38 pm

Dianne

Yes, we celebrate Christmas (and Hanukkah). Don't know what we will do this year. We just moved here 6 weeks ago so still getting settled.

4:39 pm

jesdraggon

love the Christmas Tinner, Soodle!

4:40 pm

Soodle

Diane - i par-boil the sprouts, then toss them in breadcrumbs, and roast them in the oven for about 20 mins.

4:40 pm

Dianne

Sounds good - do you do the same with cauliflower?

4:42 pm

Soodle

Aaaaargh, Jes! If only I could get away with buying 5 tins of Christmas Tinner...... Dec 25th would be so much easier.

4:42 pm

jesdraggon

heheh. Well, last year, Bruce and I ate poptarts, drank tea, and played video games all day... pretty low maintenance holiday :)

4:43 pm

Soodle

Nope, Diane- I usually boil cauliflower till it's semi-soft, then add a cheese sauce.

4:44 pm

Dianne

I need to come to your house - sounds like good eating over there.

4:44 pm

Babs1

gu 8 anyone?

4:44 pm

Soodle

Wow-wee, Jess! You have nailed it!!

4:45 pm

jesdraggon

Geek-life for the win :)

4:45 pm

MollyL

gu8...weapon + what you strike to light a fire

4:45 pm

jesdraggon

4:45 pm

Soodle

Babs - gu.... A firearm & the first 5 letters of Fred & Wilma's surname....

4:46 pm

Babs1

4:48 pm

jesdraggon

4:49 pm

Soodle

Well done Jess! I am far too busy pontificating to find words :-)

4:50 pm

jesdraggon

4:51 pm

Minveryork

Hi soodle!How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.

4:56 pm

Minveryork

Hello MollyL! How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log.

4:56 pm

Soodle

Hey, Min:-) how nice to see you.

4:57 pm

MollyL

Hi Min, always nice to see you here. I hope things are going well for you.

4:59 pm

Minveryork

Yes, but I had to stay home today to take care of sick dog.

4:59 pm

MollyL

Aw, I hope Jack is feeling better.

5:00 pm

Soodle

And how is he now, Min?

5:01 pm

Soodle

Sick kids, sick pets, sick parents... All hugely worrisome.

5:06 pm

Minveryork

He is better. He got his appetite back and ate his dinner.

5:06 pm

MollyL

That's good Min. I know you love your Jack.

5:07 pm

Minveryork

He ate something suspicious a few days ago and I think it was affecting him today. He was throwing up a lot.I hope whatever it was he ate is all out of his system now.

5:08 pm

Minveryork

I sure do love my Jack. He is the love of my li 4/7 MollyL.

5:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:22 pm

Minveryork

I'm well. I'm saving my last word for later. Did you finish?

5:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, i am on my last few

5:27 pm

Minveryork

I am here if you need clues. Not a bad grid today though.

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, it isn't. the last few are nearly always the hardest. not much room to maneuver in this one.

5:45 pm

godthaab

FIREWORKS!! VERY EXCELLENT!

Hiya folks.

7:01 pm

Minveryork

Hello origami! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

7:06 pm

origami

Hi Min ... I am battling a health issue, but it can be dealt with. How are you?

7:08 pm

Minveryork

So sorry to hear that. Good luck. I'm doing doing, thanks.

7:09 pm

Minveryork

Oops! I meant to say I am doing well origami. Thank you!

7:11 pm

origami

Ha! I figured doing doing was Min talk for doing well :-)

7:27 pm

LeslieAnn

hmm just missing an f5. any ideas?

7:33 pm

MollyL

Depends on which f5 it is

7:34 pm

hurshy

maybe the one that sounds like a journey by plane?

7:35 pm

MollyL

Or it's the other one

7:40 pm

origami

I have 8 f 5s.

7:41 pm

MollyL

I was kidding. There are a lot of f5 words. Hard to know what to clue without the second letter.

7:43 pm

MollyL

My guess for the missing f5 is what sounds like when you pass out and need smelling salts, but with a different second letter.

7:45 pm

origami

TY Molly, I was missing that one.

7:49 pm

MollyL

Glad that helped. LeslieAnn has asked for a clue and then exited stage left...so we will never know what she was missing.

7:59 pm

origami

Yay! Fireworks :-)

8:03 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations origami on your fireworks! Hooray for you

8:03 pm

9:28 pm

Minveryork

I just googled "when did playbabble begin". Didn't find an answer yet.I think it has been around for quite some time.

9:28 pm

dcseain

it had been around for at least 3 years when i joined.

9:29 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye mkg! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.

9:30 pm

dcseain

Jun and Sep 2004 the earliest join dates among my 'friends" that i've added on here.

9:31 pm

Minveryork

Playbabble.com was created on September 25,2003 and it expires September 25, 2016. Let's hope Dr. God renews it.

9:32 pm

dcseain

ojalÃ¡/imshallah indeed, minver.

9:33 pm

Minveryork

It was also created in Chicago, Illinois. Here is my source: http://whois.domaintools.com/playbabbl\ne.com

9:33 pm

dcseain

chicago makes sense -- that's where dr. god is.

9:34 pm

dcseain

and the server, hence 'grid time' :)

9:35 pm

Minveryork

It says it was updated August 27,2015. Not sure how it was updated. Babble never got its much talked about new look

9:37 pm

dcseain

quite so. I was looking forward to that.

9:37 pm

dcseain

but, he has a life, and this is not a huge money-maker.

9:37 pm

dcseain

there has been at least on server migration, but i think that was before August.

9:38 pm

dcseain

rolin is in the grid today :)

9:39 pm

Minveryork

ROFL is also in the grid today,but not acceptable of course

9:39 pm

dcseain
