1:37 am

we have something similar here. It goes like: Born... yes. And then 'geslacht' which is dutch for gender, but also past particle for to butcher... so after 'Geslacht' we fill in 'not yet'.
1:37 am

1:46 am
grannyrose
new word for me. thanx sprite
1:46 am

and there we have the reason it doesn't take. It is informal. Enable doesn't do informal. Just obsolete and foreign, but not informal.
1:47 am
grannyrose
but it does do argot or slang... fine line enable is reading.
1:47 am
sprite
*giggles* Anytime, dear. (Now I feel like I managed to teach my granny to suck eggs)
1:48 am

young Tim told his mother to get the recipe from me. that was the tomato and orange. personally i am going to leave out the orange rind next time and just use the juice. it was nice but it had an unexpected zing with the rind.

Hello zoozzoom and aeb and mf9 - much giggles here in Liverpool at the puns - made my day they did. I shall need something to laugh at tomorrow and Sunday as we have a FusionFestival (Olly Murs et al) happening in our local park about 500 yards away. The sound- test is going on now and wow all my ornaments are trying to leap off the windowsill.
12:18 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, Scouser! Sorry to hear that the venue is close to you. Here when the Isle of Wight festival is on..people who live near by get free tickets to go to it.
12:18 pm

Are you telling porkies, M9f9l?
12:18 pm

hi scouser and tyvm!

Well that's veal nice!
12:19 pm

Perhaps I should be "on the lam" away from here? I don't need a free ticket they might as well be in the living room. Only a thin belt of large trees separates us. Hi Aebmusica
12:20 pm
aebmusica
well m9, they would read the PUNS on the wurst day of the week!
12:20 pm

Thank you for being honest and so frankfurt with us, M9f9l!

I suspect some of the performers tomorrow will be of the brat-wurst variety?

Hi m9. is everyone now looking in the food-books for more bangers (Liverpool or English word for saucissons)?

posh word for tummy rumbling is borborygmus. I defy Babble to fit that in a grid and have many useful words around it. May get the record for the lowest number of words???

Doesn't Dr. God monitor the chat?
4:39 pm
KnightTime
jada and xena and kipas and alex - go take another hit on the crack pipe and then breath real deep. repeat 30 times until you pass out. Believe me, everyone here will then like you.
4:41 pm
kje
telling kids to kill themselves, even jokingly, is not prob in the best taste
4:41 pm
kipas
please don't lump me with those clowns. I made an honest mistake.
4:42 pm
kje
usual method for dealing is 1) ignore, 2) notify Dr. God and he'll block them... re question, no Dr. God does not monitor chat, though he will, if notified, block access
4:43 pm
KnightTime
i did not ask them to kill themselves
4:45 pm
kje
I guess asking them to take crack until they pass out came across as such to me, KT.
4:46 pm
kje
there used to be a link under the grid on how to play/rules... I don't see it now. What was that link? anyone remember?
4:46 pm
KnightTime
i just figured from their repulsive attitude that that was an activity they were familiar with
4:48 pm
MollyL
This is not a bunch of random trolls. If they know about Dr. God, I would guess this is a bunch of people who harbor a grudge against Babble chat.
4:49 pm
MollyL
There is no link under the grid about how to play. the HELP link at the top of chat explains the game and how it works and scores.
4:51 pm
kje
can clue very briefly if needed
4:53 pm
MollyL
Knight, just for the record, I didn't take your comment as suggesting suicide.
4:59 pm
kje
the reaction to crack cocaine is not passing out - it is a stimulant. When over-dosed, your heart rate speeds up excessively, your blood pressure spikes, some may get hyper-active or psychotic, and it causes heart attacks. Unlike heroin which is a depressant and people pass out, cocaine is the opposite. If you know the drug, then his comment can mean nothing else. But even if not meant that way, I don't think I would ever tell someone to go take a bunch of drugs, even if I did think they use them at baseline. I understand the frustration with trolls, though my usual response is to ignore them, but the comment is rather harsh.
5:00 pm
kje
I'm off. HAGD all
5:01 pm
MollyL
I think comments like the one Knight made are not to be taken so seriously. If, in frustration with someone, you suggest that they go jump off a cliff, it's not really meant as "go kill yourself".
5:06 pm
Soodle
Sorry I missed you Kje. I agree with Molly in that I don't believe KnightTime's comment was an incitement to suicide. The poor trolls, bless them, are probably off their faces already.
5:08 pm

Is there an Admin on the Babble Facebook page, do you know? Perhaps the page should be put on 'private' so that alerts could be put out that trolls are about and should be ignored? Hi Pen :-)

Sorry Molly. I misundestood. I thought I had got the phrase wrong, that it should have been 'Poison Chalice', and that you were correcting me. Apologies. My mistake. :-)
6:09 pm

Either way, it's a great term. I need to add it to my repertoire. It should probably be in The Feckin' Book Of Everything Irish as well.

the crown jewels have names? new to me.

here it comes: - the Cullinan I or Star Africa diamond is the largest cut diamond in the world. Pear shaped, with 74 facets, it is set in the Royal Scepter (kept with the other Crown Jewels in the Tower of London). It was cut from the 3,106-carat Cullian, the largest diamond crystal ever found.

Ah, the Koh-i-noor was once the largest but Prince Albert cut it down to make a better jewel for his Victoria. It is now part of the crown jewels too, set in the Queen Mother's crown.

Nef
don't fret, granny; my typing is pretty horrid too. The infusions are helping? or wearing you out?
9:29 pm
grannyrose
infusions are helping. last time i had three bags of ketamine and i have been firing on all eight cylinders since.that was 4 weeks ago
9:29 pm
Nef
Oh, MY! I would think that that would help a lot! :-D
9:31 pm

oh it's so nice to have time with just yourself. i know. you love them all dearly but not having to think about what they are doing/saying/needing for a few hours is such a relief.

it's the excitement of finding a word

Nef
Or just not paying enough attention to where I am
10:03 pm

I should give up; this grid is hiding all the words in boxes of letters.

How are you doing with this grid, granny?

How can you do it so fast, granny?
10:08 pm
grannyrose
i have always loved words nef. babble has taught me to think laterally. to try alternative spellings.at my 50th birthday party i had a live clown(not a doll) and she roasted me. she asked people if the agreed with the statement... rose is a working dictionary....
10:08 pm
grannyrose
ugh... walking dictionary
10:09 pm
Nef
WOW! I like reading & words too; but the words I think of aren't IN the dictionary!
What a compliment that is, though! :-)
10:10 pm
grannyrose
don't get me wrong nef. i type in a lot of words which aren't in the dictionary too
10:11 pm
Nef
LOL! that's good to know! ;-)
10:11 pm
grannyrose
my grandfather was a teacher and he taught me to be inquisitive about words. not just their meanings but where they originated etc
10:12 pm
Nef
The aunt that raised me was also a teacher; AND the County Superintendent of schools for over 20 years. She really stressed spelling & reading too
10:13 pm
grannyrose
what a nce memory we both have nef. is your aunt still with us?
10:14 pm
grannyrose
NICE for heavens sake
10:14 pm
Nef
I don't remember that anyone ever mentioned where words came from; for many years I just assumed that most words came from Latin (can you tell I'm Catholic & old enough to remember having Mass said in Latin
10:14 pm
Nef
No; she died in 2007.
10:14 pm
grannyrose
really nef? i would never have guessed... lolll
10:15 pm
Nef
my older sister was really good at spelling and went to the state spelling Bee contest. (I wasn't so good at it)
10:16 pm
grannyrose
was it hard for you, nef, when she passed? i remember when grandpa died all i wanted to do was curl up and die myself. i was only just 20 then.
10:19 pm
Nef
My Mom died when I was 8; that was hard; my Grandmom died when I was 19; I was very close to her and I still miss both of them a lot.
My aunt was 91 and was nearly totally deaf; I was with her when she died; and yes, I miss her too but she was ready to go by then.

HI granny
10:20 pm
grannyrose
oh nef, to much grief for a young girl. and you too origami. i admit i was so fortunate to have had three grandparents throughout my childhood and both parents until recently.
10:21 pm
Nef
I often think about what would we (meaning my siblings & myself) be like if Mom had lived; I doubt if any of us would be where we are today if she did.
10:21 pm
origami
I battle hardening my exterior because I lost everyone.
10:21 pm
Nef
What a wonderful thing to have, granny!
10:22 pm
origami
I also wonder, Nef, what I would have been like had my father lived. I am sure I would have had a very different life.
10:23 pm
grannyrose
it was nef. i think it may have had something to do with my decision to become a nurse. i wanted to help people like my grandparents did. they were such kind people.
10:24 pm
origami
I had one grandparent. She was freaking awesome. She raised four boys during the great depression by herself with no resources. She worked 3 or 4 jobs. She was a force of nature
10:25 pm
origami
Well, I mean I had one grandparent I knew.
10:29 pm
Nef
Same here. When my mom died; she was supposed to be in the hospital for 6 months on bedrest (we're talking 1950's here) because she had a bbad heart. the year before she died she'd lost a set of premie twins right at thanksgiving; so when she found out she had to be in the hospital again over the holidays; she asked her mom & her sister to give us the kind of Christmas she had as a child. So they brought the 5 of us kids from Montana to Minnesota for Christmas; then she died January 10th. We didn't hear from our dad again for 4 years.
10:30 pm
Nef
That is lovely, granny.
10:31 pm
Nef
and origami, my hubby's grandmother raised 5 girls through the depression on her own too; her husband died in a farm accident before the last girl was even born!
10:32 pm
Nef
And I know that I became a nurse (& specialized in CV-ICU for 34 years!!) due to my mom's death
10:34 pm
grannyrose
and i specialised in critical care/PACU
10:34 pm
Nef
LOL! Yep; I have a very strong suspicion neither you or I would have done that without a parent's death
10:37 pm
grannyrose
bbl. time for lunch xoxox to you nef and origami. may catch you later.
10:37 pm
Nef
origami, did your mom remarry or did she raise you on her own?
10:39 pm
Nef
Bye, granny. I think I'm going to bed before the flip and also before I finish the grid. I'm almost half way now
10:40 pm
Nef
Don't you just hate it when you put in words that are really brand names?(& not real words at all?)
10:42 pm
Nef
hi hurshy; how are you today?
10:43 pm
hurshy
glad it's friday and a long weekend
10:44 pm
Nef
I hear you clearly on that! :-)
10:44 pm
origami
HI, sorry, had to step away. Mom never remarried. In my eyes, nobody could have ever come close to the wonderful of my father. She once told me she didn't remarry because nobody would have been good enough for me :-)
10:45 pm
Nef
Wow. That's a heavy thought for you!
10:45 pm
origami
And it is small world. My grandfather died from a farm accident also. I guess there were a lot of them back then.
10:46 pm
Nef
My grandfather died during WWII working in a tow mill and a bale of flax dropped on his head & killed him! (he was too old to enlist)
10:47 pm
origami
It was OK Nef. I never felt any guilt about that. Because she had a lot of time after I grew up to marry, but she never did. But she was a tough, head-strong woman. She told me once that there weren't many men who could take her on.
10:47 pm
Nef
so it wasn't exactly a farm accident; but was definitely farm related
10:48 pm
Nef
Did she enjoy her life, origami?
10:49 pm
origami
Wow, my father's father died when he fell off the top of a silo. I guess that's a farming accident?
10:50 pm
Nef
Farming IS dangerous! But it was much more dangerous "in the olden days" I'd guess!
10:51 pm
origami
My mother had a really tragic life nef. She tried to enjoy it, but she lost two children and her beloved husband. If you were asking about my grandmother, she definitely enjoyed life. She had many grandchildren she enjoyed. She taught me how to cook, crochet, play poker. I loved her so.
10:51 pm
Nef
(my elderly cat is inside a grocery bag & beating it up! I guess even at somewhere around 17 years old she's still just a kitten at heart!)
10:52 pm
Nef
Oh, MY! Origami; how did your siblings die? (if I may be so bold...)
10:55 pm
origami
Yes, Nef. Both of my siblings died. One (I was really close to) died when she was 28 from a previously undiagnosed congenital heart defect. I was devastated because she was like a second mother to me. My other sister died the same year my mother and husband did. She died of a heart attack at 54. A very bad year for Sherrell.
10:55 pm
Nef
I'm so sorry for your losses, origami!
10:57 pm
origami
Thanks Nef. In the spirit of full disclosure, my son died a few years after my husband and mother.
10:58 pm
hurshy
help with 8s?
10:58 pm
Nef
I always think that my mom & grandma have been watching over me throughout my life -just not all the time; like when I did things that weren't exactly proper! ;-)
I had read your profile; you've had a lot of deaths of loved ones.
10:58 pm
origami
So, now I stumble on ... There is a lot of stumbling.
10:59 pm
Nef
hurshy, I only have a co 8/45; I don't know the other one
10:59 pm
origami
Yep Nef. Sometimes I cringe to think what those watching over me are seeing :-)
11:00 pm
Nef
Co8 is like crowning someone; but it ends with a man's name
11:02 pm
Nef
ori, I think everyone who's alive are all stumbling through life. It always frustrated me when I was young that babies & lives don't come with instruction books....
11:05 pm
Nef
did you get it,hurshy?
11:05 pm
origami
I missed your post about when your mother died and you didn't see your father for years. So sorry. So hard on you.
11:07 pm
Nef
That was so many years ago; and like I said; you wonder what would life have been like if it would have been easier. :-)
11:07 pm
origami
Very true about stumbling Nef. At least we're stumbling and not just static :-)
11:10 pm
Nef
I have a refrigerator magnet that says "Yesterday is history, tomorrow in a mystery, today is a gift" It's a quote of Eleanor Roosevelt. I always try to remember to live today like that
11:11 pm

That's how I get by
11:12 pm
Nef
Do you remember those "WWJD" bracelets that were so popular back when?
11:12 pm

Another help is being with my beastie dogs. They want a walk now. So going off to exercise them. Night Nef and all.
