no, I am dutch through and through
6:23 am
bichon
Have you lived in an English speaking country
6:23 am
Marc Freeman
It's amazing how good your English is.
6:24 am
sprite
no, but we learn english here from about 12 years old. As a tiny country, we need to speak our languages.
6:24 am
bichon
If it's any country which has the best English speakers, it's Holland
6:25 am
Marc Freeman
I love Holland. Spend some time in Vlodrop and Maastricht
6:25 am
sprite
it is both tradition and a necessity, I think. We have always been a nation of traders, and let's face it, we are just a tiny fly poop on the world map. So we have to!
6:26 am
Marc Freeman
In any case, it is impressive.
6:27 am
sprite
thank you for the compliment. I love english. It is a wonderful language.
6:27 am
Marc Freeman
Then you much speak French and German as well, correct?
6:28 am

yes I do. We get all three languages at school here. Some schools even add Spanish. Mine didn't :(
6:31 am

Maastricht is nice. I don't know Vlodorp that well.

ohh that's right the Broncos.. are they playing today at all?
7:40 am

I don't have a TIVO Bich. And if I did, I would not record sports events. I like to watch them live.
7:41 am
bichon
You like the commercials. I never watch anything live
7:41 am
MLFAN17
I agree with Molly unless its pre season they rerun games I may have not been able to watch

MollyL
I don't like commercials. I mute them when they come on. And football is the only thing I watch live.
7:57 am
MLFAN17
some channels for football games have too many commericals
7:58 am
MLFAN17
and I see the same commercials over and over....
7:58 am
MollyL
I think ad time for football games is very expensive because it is one of the few things people watch live anymore.
7:59 am
MLFAN17
that is probably true which is such a stupid think to do this season and maybe a few before it they cant fill the stadiums like they used to

12:21 pm
rururocks
yeah.. for people desperate for chocolate :D
12:23 pm
cybernan
filled with shrimp, crab and lobster in a creamy bechamel sauce
12:23 pm
MollyL
I would rather never eat chocolate again than eat it as a bug coating
12:24 pm
cybernan
menus without chocolate --- the word is diet
12:27 pm
rururocks
me too.. that' totally grosses me out
12:27 pm
rururocks
I broke down and had ice cream last night.. i'm ashamed

12:31 pm
rururocks
(waiting for M9)
12:32 pm
m9f9l
What? You can't pate without me?
12:32 pm
m9f9l
Such a foi!
12:33 pm
MollyL
Ashamed of having ice cream? Have you developed an eating disorder?
12:36 pm
rururocks
i'm trying to lose weight and it was calling out to me and I succumbed to the call
12:38 pm
m9f9l
Christmas is coming, the RU is getting fat?
12:38 pm
Glantarell
if you want to lose weight the easy way just look at the Diet Doctor website Ru. I am losing about 2lbs a week and for tea I ate trout, cauliflower mash with cheese, mushrooms fried in butter, followed by blueberries and nuts in cream. Yum.
12:38 pm
Soodle
Ah, the siren call of cookie dough ice cream. Impossible to resist.
12:38 pm
m9f9l
We should start a diet support group.
12:39 pm
LeslieAnn
that's harsh, m9, considering we were just talking of roasting the goose whole ;)
12:39 pm
lbdawger
hello, may I have a clue for the re7/40 plz?
12:40 pm
m9f9l
Actually.. *I* was talking of spatchcocking it!! Bwaahaahaa!!!!!
12:40 pm
LeslieAnn
i have to sew a piece of fabric on a hole again, lb
12:40 pm
Glantarell
I was trying to imagine an oven big enough to cook a spatchcocked goose
12:40 pm
lbdawger
thank you LeslieAnn!
12:41 pm
Glantarell
ty lesleiann, for the pa and re
12:41 pm
LeslieAnn
i had to look spatchcock up, never heard of it before
12:41 pm
m9f9l
Look up the recipe for spatchcock chile lime chicken! IT's really good.
12:42 pm
Soodle
Cookie dough ice cream..... you promise yourself you will only have one scoop .... then you find yourself digging deeper & deeper for another dollop of cookie dough. You blink,
12:42 pm
Soodle
And the tub is empty.
12:42 pm
m9f9l
I'm like that with spumoni ice cream...and peppermint stick ice cream...
12:46 pm
lbdawger
tadone!! now to go look up spatchcock
12:47 pm
MollyL
Actually, when trying to lose weight, it is better to give yourself an occasional small treat than go without. And
"feeling ashamed" of eating anything is never good.
12:47 pm
cybernan
taking a break --- beginning to doubt my command of the english language
12:48 pm
m9f9l
no kidding. THis grid is a bear.
12:49 pm
lbdawger
the 7's 8's, 9;s and 10 definitely make you wonder if you have any concept of the written word
12:50 pm
rururocks
spatchcocked.. sounds kind of dirty to me
12:50 pm
LeslieAnn
just hit 200... trying to get to less than 100 left before listing, but getting much slower!
12:50 pm
LeslieAnn
i know ru i kind of braced myself before googling it
12:51 pm
MollyL
I thought spatchcock had become a commonly known cooking term. I guess I watch too many cooking shows.
12:51 pm
Glantarell
I would love a clue for the 2nd an8.
12:52 pm
rururocks
I wonder if Spatchcock is used in a leather bar
12:52 pm
m9f9l
I fill a baker's sheet with veggies and put the spatchcocked chicken right on top and roast it all together.
12:53 pm
MollyL
Sounds nice but that would add way too much chicken fat for me.
12:53 pm
MollyL
an8...against a guy like Batman who is a super ___
12:54 pm
Glantarell
ty, had just found it
12:55 pm
m9f9l
Yup. I like greasy roasted veggies :-D
12:56 pm
ivesy3

12:58 pm
m9f9l

12:58 pm
rururocks

12:58 pm

1:36 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hi all, diving in
1:36 pm
MLFAN17
which re is it for the re 8?
1:36 pm
MLFAN17
I found co 7/32
1:37 pm
Glantarell
it is straigh after the first re7 but not connected to it as far as I can see
1:37 pm
MLFAN17
giant in the grid which re does it come from?
1:37 pm
MLFAN17
if anyone knows?
1:37 pm
Glantarell
I'll know soon as I am working through the R words
1:38 pm
hurshy
if it is straight after the person who says what they memorized then it has to be from one of the lower R's
1:39 pm
Glantarell
not the bottom r as that is grey on my puzzle
1:39 pm
hurshy
so the right side one
1:39 pm
MLFAN17
that is the re 6/7 isn't it?
1:39 pm
penquis
re 8 comes way later....after re-sewing over the hole...
1:39 pm
penquis
so it has to come from the top R....
1:39 pm
cybernan
it follows mend a hole again
1:40 pm
MLFAN17
oh well going back to watching the game...poof
1:41 pm
hurshy
starts like make a copy of something ends with not pro (pro meaning for)
1:42 pm
Aussieme
Thanks Hursh!
1:42 pm
Glantarell
not following the clue. Maybe I am looking at a different word LOL
1:42 pm
penquis
can't make those two ends meet...
1:43 pm
hurshy
first 6 letters make a copy
reuse last of those as the first of 3 letter not-pro
1:43 pm
Glantarell
got it
1:44 pm
cybernan
it's make a copy that has me stumped
1:44 pm
hurshy
it's not the full word for make a copy, just the first 6 letters
1:44 pm
Glantarell
think of museum objects that are too valuable to display
1:44 pm
Glantarell
they put re on display instead
1:45 pm
hurshy
so like, i ate her cake and i went home and tried to re______ it but it did not come out as well as hers
1:45 pm
cybernan
reproduce is the only thing I can think of
1:45 pm
Aussieme
a fake copy of a Ming Vase would be a re7
1:45 pm
hurshy
yes the museum thing is better
1:45 pm
Aussieme
starts same first 3 letters or your word Nan,
1:46 pm
hurshy
or if the queen doesn't want to wear the real crown jewels and she has a paste copy or re______
1:46 pm
penquis
oh i have it....the not pro part was messing me up...ty....
1:46 pm
cybernan
replicate can't be it either
1:46 pm
hurshy
the first 6 letters, yes it can
1:46 pm
Glantarell
just use the forst 6 letters of that nan
1:47 pm
Aussieme
Nan, first 6 letters of that word, then opposite of pro
1:47 pm
cybernan
ah - got it - was on the same track as you pen
1:47 pm
cybernan
was going for ante instead of the other
1:48 pm
hurshy
if i could just get one more P word i would feel happy
1:48 pm
Glantarell
an particular one Hurshy?
1:49 pm
Aussieme
there's umpteen P words Hursh, which one ya want lol!
1:49 pm
hurshy
no i just have 29 out of 40 and 30 would be so much prettier
1:49 pm
Glantarell
do you have the 8?
1:49 pm
hurshy
i have po8 yes
1:49 pm
Aussieme
Oh Lordy!
1:49 pm
hurshy
that doesn't obligate anyone to clue for me
1:50 pm
Glantarell
have you taken the colness away from the 8?
1:50 pm
