12:39 am

VolleymomDee

good question

12:46 am

torgone

Well, because ...

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

yes????

12:47 am

torgone

The English spelling applies to the unit of length ..

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

not to the actual apparatus??

12:47 am

torgone

The "measuring instrument" is the same in English and American English ..

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

interesting, thx for sharing

12:49 am

rururocks

give someone and inch and they'll take..

12:49 am

torgone

Just a bit of linguistic trivia ..

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

I think I learn something every time I play this game

1:01 am

rururocks

finished

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

nice, ru!

1:02 am

rururocks

nice grid for once

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

yes, lately, they have all been about the same size, too

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

have never seen the wh 6/42 before

1:06 am

rururocks

me neither

1:06 am

rururocks

I had to look up my last three on morewords.

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

the mi 6's?

1:07 am

rururocks

wait till you find the mi 6/45's

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

1:07 am

rururocks

:D

1:07 am

rururocks

read my mind

1:07 am

rururocks

yay dee

1:07 am

rururocks

speedster

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

I vaguely remembered those from a study a long time ago, but I had to use morewords to find them

1:08 am

rururocks

it looks like a Yiddish word

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

what are you doing for Christmas, ru?

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

Hebrew

1:08 am

rururocks

me ? .. nothing really.. just laying low

1:09 am

rururocks

may talk to a few friends on the phone

1:09 am

rururocks

how bout you?

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

quiet day with our daughter and son-in-law; very laid back, but will be great :)

1:10 am

rururocks

nice.. that's kind of what I need now too.. quiet and easy

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

we had hubby's family Christmas with 20 last weekend, so this will be great. How are you doing?

1:11 am

rururocks

been a rough last three weeks.. so I'm happy for the break and the time off

1:11 am

rururocks

20.. wow.. I hope you had help

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

I hope things get better, ru. Our daughter hosted, so we brought a few dishes and didn't have to worry about anything. It was wonderful. We thanked her a bizillion times!

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

We brought their dog to our house for the afternoon, and then spent the day at their house. Win / win.

1:13 am

rururocks

yes.. But I bet you've done your share.. so it's great your daughter stepped in and took charge

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

So very true and really nice for me. I ne5 know when I am going to have a bad day, so it takes away all of my stress.

1:13 am

rururocks

well.. I think time will just help.. I lost a very close friend to Lymphoma right after thanksgiving

1:14 am

rururocks

I can't imagine not ever being able to speak to her again.. it's a huge loss for me in my life

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

Oh, that is so tough. Sure is a void that cannot be filled. I know you miss her every day. One of my hubby's friends has been battling that for the last 4 or 5 years.

1:16 am

rururocks

they have a good arsenal against the disease.. but it didn't work for her. It usually does .. but not in this case

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

They have come a long way with treatment, which probably makes it even tougher losing her.

1:17 am

rururocks

yeah.. It does.. we were friends for over 30 years.. she taught me a lot of great things

1:17 am

flosey

fw and off to bed, goodnight all

1:17 am

rururocks

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

1:18 am

1:18 am

rururocks

I should let you go too dee. Have a wonderful xmas dee and Nan and flosey

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

Merry Christmas, nan!

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

1:18 am

rururocks

1:19 am

cybernan

1:20 am

1:47 am

jwr

some of my favorite people on chat. hi and bye

1:47 am

sprite

bye jwr

1:48 am

jwr

aha - sprite remains when all is lost

1:48 am

sprite

*grins* I aim to please! How are you, jwr?

1:49 am

jwr

I will read the chat log when I get a break tonight -- the call room will be busy. ... I'm fine. Can't complain. Oh, I forgot -it's Babble! Of course I can! ooooooooh

1:50 am

sprite

you can complain all you like, lol.

1:50 am

jwr

no really, fine. Just had a ball. An annual treat called KUNG PAO KOSHER COMEDY

1:50 am

sprite

Merry Christmas to you and yours, if you are celebrating.

1:51 am

sprite

sounds good. A bunch of laughs is healthy.

1:51 am

sprite

phantom: eminent

1:51 am

jwr

That was the celebration - Jewish comedians in a Chinese restaurant. It's well known -- and a mixed crowd

1:52 am

sprite

oh! That sounds really awesome!

1:53 am

jwr

They actually put on the show all through the weekend - sells out months before. (no food though)

1:53 am

sprite

too complicated maybe, with a mixed crowd, to offer food

1:54 am

jwr

If you already chatted about your plans and presents and all that - I will read it later.

1:55 am

jwr

You're right about the food service - I never thought about that. Though for most jews (non-orthodox) Chinese restaurants (the only ones open during Christmas!!!) are the place to go

1:55 am

TheByzantine

CHILDHOOD, n. The period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth â€” two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age.

1:56 am

jwr

And You had to mention your phantom, didn't you. Now I can't see anything else.

1:56 am

sprite

no I didn't, and I don't have many. We don't do presents at Christmas, since we have Sinterklaas on Dec 5. Today it is just me and my beloved and a simple meal. I might have to go and pick up a friend who is not feeling well enough to use public transportation, and give her a ride home. Tomorrow, we will have a lazy Xmas day... our traditional movies, some crocheting, another simple meal.

1:57 am

sprite

*grins* You know me, I am happy to share

1:57 am

TheByzantine

CHRISTMAS, n. A day set apart and consecrated to gluttony, drunkenness, maudlin sentiment, gift-taking, public dulness and domestic misbehavior.What! not religious? You should see, my pet,
On every Christmas day how drunk I get!
O, I'm a Christian â€” not a pious monk
Honors the Master with so dead a drunk.

1:58 am

jwr

I have no way of getting back at you on this site -- you're out of my league. But I might email you some time. A few minutes left. . What traditional movies, Sprite?

1:59 am

sprite

would love an email, any time, jwr

1:59 am

jwr

you'll be sooorrrryyy

1:59 am

sprite

Little Lord Fauntleroy is a must, as is Dinner for One. Then probably Scrooged and How the Gringe Stole Christmas.

1:59 am

sprite

no I won't be, lol. Go right ahead.

2:01 am

jwr

Oh I never ever thought about Frances Hodgson Burnett for christmas. How perfect. And they couldn't p[ossibly make a remake of that movie -- what kid would be able to play that role?

2:01 am

sprite

exactly. Just perfect, he is.

2:02 am

jwr

Have you ever watched it with your son though - or any other youngster? I wonder how

2:02 am

jwr

they'd react. (trigger fingeers)

2:03 am

sprite

my daughter insists on the tradition as much as I do. My son really likes the movie, but prefers to go to his girlfriend on Christmas, so he will miss it this year.

2:04 am

jwr

what a strange male? ... oops just noticed the witching hour had come and gone - it is now Christmas morning and my bus is coming. You have the last word: make it good!

2:05 am

sprite

have a lovely couple of days, jwr!

Oh wow - that's very cool, Sukee

6:52 am

mattygroves

The Neil Gaiman thing, I mean

6:53 am

sukee

It's from the New York Public Library podcast, he read from the copy that Dickens used with his public readings.

Thanks judi. lol

10:32 am

You could also call the author Samuel Clemmons. A little more obscure.

10:33 am

medusa

Did not know that was his real name. I knew the other was not.

10:34 am

bichon

I've been to his house in Hartford. Well worth a visit. There's also Harriet Beecher Stowe's house at the same place

10:34 am

bichon

Yes, the Mark Tw*** comes from his riverboat days

10:35 am

MLFAN17

First O stats please?

10:35 am

medusa

Wow. Might have to look into that.

10:35 am

Judi

He was a character for sure. Not sure why he used a pen name. I think it may have had something to do with the fact that Huck Finn was friends with a black man named Jim. That sort of thing was frowned on in the South at the time.

10:36 am

medusa

Maybe. Was a brave move to write about that back then.

10:36 am

bichon

Yes, and he wrote "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"

10:36 am

medusa

or8 is 1 I think fan

10:36 am

Judi

Either that or he wasn't sure the book would be a success, so he didn't use his real name to avoid being ridiculed.

10:37 am

medusa

I have that on my ereader. Not got to it yet though

10:37 am

Judi

Loved that book too.

10:38 am

Was just musing about how similar "Connecticut Yankee" and "Brigadoon" are. Wonder if there was some borrowing there.

10:42 am

MLFAN17

didn't Brigadoon take place in Connecticut?

10:42 am

Judi

How about a clue for that Or8 before I toddle off?

11:38 am

Uneaixoise

wowser! LOL

11:40 am

welki

once it gets below -20C, it really doesn't make a difference how far the temperature drops. it's just friggin' cold! then, add the wind ... dangerous to be outside for long without proper precautions

11:41 am

Uneaixoise

no need for a fridge or freezer, eh? :-)

11:42 am

welki

in my work, i meet many indigent and homeless people - at the top of my list every fall is to gather up as many coats, mittens, hats and socks as i can for the shelters

11:42 am

medusa

Back while dads are on. lol

11:42 am

welki

that's one good thing about the cold weather - run out of room in the freezer? outside with it!

11:43 am

Did that when I had a flat with a balcony. Was on the 5th floor so was totally private. Lovely for beers. lol

sounds like you've had a nice day, Scrabs. I have too, but I'm so ready for the beddy! Got up really early to Babble.. knew I needed a head start (-:

9:25 pm

I am unwinding and will go to bed in several more words, as soon as I pass halfway.

9:26 pm

Aloyisius

am looking forward to curling up with my Kindle

9:27 pm

Scrabbler

What are you reading right now?

9:29 pm

Aloyisius

not anything good, I'm afraid.. some freebie stuff from BookBub.. I swear, some of these authors don't have proofreaders, but hey, it is free.. have been reading detective mysteries and some romance novels and some historical fiction.. in need of a good read - I know you read a lot.. have one to recommend?

9:31 pm

Scrabbler

Historical fiction is my favorite--The Dante Club by Matt Pearl, The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Satterfield, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron, The Kitchen House, .....

9:32 pm

Aloyisius

9:33 pm

Aloyisius

I also enjoy historical fiction - such a great way to put yourself into the past and better understand what went on

9:36 pm

Scrabbler

The Known World by Edward Jones. I read all of Matt Pearl's books, have read many of Zafron's books, also Alexander Perez-Reverte. Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.

9:37 pm

Scrabbler

Correction, it is Zafon

Aloyisius

Ok.. well, at least I have read Pillars of the Earth.. made note of the others, lol.. off you go to the PB

9:39 pm

Scrabbler

Historical fiction is my fave, other than non-fiction.

9:43 pm

Aloyisius
