grannyrose

i have a birthday calendar. it has months and the dates. but no year.

2:47 am

grannyrose

i just have to remember to turn the page... loll

2:48 am

Lizlin

It's so weird for most of my life having a winter solstice birthday, then suddenly it's a summer solstice one! Confusing.

2:49 am

sprite

oh right! I can imagine that is very odd.

2:49 am

Lizlin

I still muddle seasons.

2:50 am

sprite

one year, we went to Swiss for our vacation and it actually snowed on my birthday. In July. So weird and lovely.

2:50 am

grannyrose

oh my...laughing so hard. beloved is siting around in just his jocks. i reminded him that his washing is on the line and asked if he was going to put something on. his answer.....

2:50 am

grannyrose

of course... i'm pujtting my slippers on

2:50 am

sprite

..... drumroll ...

2:50 am

sprite

roflolllllllllllllll good man, Don!

2:51 am

grannyrose

i hope our neighbour doesn't look out of her window. i would have to call the cardiac ambulance.

2:53 am

sprite

*giggles* Reminds me of a cabaret I once saw. She said: "I am so cold!"
And he answers: "But you are wearing that lovely warm necklace!"

2:54 am

Lizlin

:)

2:55 am

sprite

lol, ro4 is in the grid, and also what she did with her lunch

2:57 am

grannyrose

hahahaha

2:57 am

2:57 am

Lizlin

Congrats

2:57 am

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Hello everyone :-)

3:53 am

mattygroves

Howdy Zooz! I am just about to shower :)

3:54 am

zoozzoom

Nothing like a shower to freshen oneself!

3:54 am

zoozzoom

Do you have the corner O by any chance?

3:55 am

zoozzoom

And how come 'Baltic' is not allowed :-(

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Oh I have just found the corner O.

3:57 am

mattygroves

Can you give me the stats? I haven't found it nor the N in the fourth column, fourth row, despite the fact I've found the 9 and 4 of the eights

3:58 am

zoozzoom

OD 4/6

3:58 am

mattygroves

Oh god. I must have tried everything else. Sigh. I guess it shows I really do need a shower :)

3:58 am

zoozzoom

Not got that far yet but had a look and it is NE 4/7

3:59 am

mattygroves

Again, how I missed that I do not know - and that word has been a few grids lately. I'm getting old.

4:00 am

mattygroves

OK off to shower - see you on the other side

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Hope it is nice and hot for you, Matty. Feel refreshed and raring to find the words when you get back :-)

4:08 am

MollyL

Good Solstice to all. The days get longer from here on out. Hooray for the return of the light.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

And to you, Molly! Thank goodness. Summer is slowly but surely on its way back!

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Phantom : Elastic.

4:31 am

MollyL

So Zoom, what are your plans for the holidays?

4:33 am

zoozzoom

Sister is going to cook us all a Christmas meal so Parents and I will be going round my sister's home for Christmas day. Then to parents home boxing day where I will cook a meal for everyone there. then after that back to normal routine :-)

4:33 am

zoozzoom

How about your good self?

4:37 am

MollyL

My clan gathers here on Christmas Day for a once a year treat, beef tenderloin dinner with all the trimmings. What are you cooking on Boxing Day?

4:41 am

zoozzoom

It will be another Turkey dinner but as plain as possible for my parents as they can not handle anything too seasoned. And I also have to mash things up a lot and cut the meat really small so my father can eat it. We then put on our party hats and play charades as everyone loves that lol Sit down and watch only fools and horses (parents & mine ) favourite comedy. No alcohol as parents do not drink. But plenty of tea and other fizzy pops for the children.

4:42 am

zoozzoom

The meal for everyone else I forgot to say is normal and not plain.

4:44 am

MollyL

You are very considerate of your parents needs. I am sure they appreciate that.

4:44 am

zoozzoom

I always do a Christmas pudding but not many people want that after the meal lol Although we all eat a chocolate gateaux/ gateau. Which does go down a treat.

4:45 am

MollyL

My mother-in-law always did a Christmas pudding (Dad in law was a London man). There are many pictures of the Christmas pudding being lit at the table.

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Yeah they do. I have great respect for my parents. Love them very much..even if i do not say it much lol

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Yes We always do that...we turn the light off and I always put a 50p inside it too for goodluck....never seems to work though LOL

4:47 am

MollyL

You are a very fortunate man with people in your life who love you a lot. I would say that is luck enough.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

Very true, Molly. I hope that is the same for you too?

4:49 am

MollyL

Absolutely. I am very blessed.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

good to hear :-)

4:51 am

sukee

Good morning all

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sukee :-)

4:51 am

sukee

Hi zoo.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

So many phantom words in here. Edibles, Mediates etc

4:54 am

zoozzoom

Think I am almost in the PB for the ME word.

4:54 am

sukee

Was trying to work on yesterday's grid last night but my internet was jumping in and out, so frustrated. So I went to bed to read :)

4:55 am

zoozzoom

So annoying when that happens sukee. Hope the book is a good one!

4:55 am

sukee

Ty zoo, I just saw the 8 and 9 :)

4:57 am

zoozzoom

Did not mean to give out a clue..I typed the phantom word then saw those words after..oops But glad it helped though :-)

4:57 am

sukee

I didn't notice until you said that :)

4:57 am

sukee

It's all good :)

4:58 am

zoozzoom

I tend to put my foot in it, Sukee. that is why most people stay away from babble when I am on LOL

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Are you knee deep in snow yet?

4:59 am

sukee

Almost, and very cold.

5:02 am

sukee

Haven't had snow for a couple of days so the roads are clear.

5:02 am

sukee

Haven't had snow for a couple of days so the roads are clear.

5:03 am

zoozzoom

Ah I see my post got lost in the babble freeze.

5:04 am

ivesy3

mine too lol. the last di 7 plz

5:04 am

zoozzoom

I did say..Hope you saty warm, Sukee and well wrapped up. it is around 11c here and drizzly rain.

5:04 am

sukee

Haven't had snow for a couple of days so the roads are clear.

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Stay8

5:05 am

zoozzoom

That is good to hear.

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ivesy :-)

5:05 am

sukee

I'm managing to stay warm. Still fighting a bug though and staying home today.

5:05 am

ivesy3

good morning all.

5:05 am

sukee

Hi ivesy

5:07 am

zoozzoom

The only Di7 I have is what stalin, hitler etc was.

5:07 am

zoozzoom

but without the or on the end.

5:09 am

ivesy3

yes have that one too. the one after the plural of that is the one i dont have.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Ah just found one. Di + *****s oxide also known as laughing gas.

5:12 am

sukee

nice one :)

5:12 am

zoozzoom

Can not give you a DEF as it does not have one..typical.

5:13 am

ivesy3

ty zoo!

5:16 am

zoozzoom

Yeah I seem to have a mild cold, Sukee so been staying in so not to spread it. Glad you are staying warm, sukee.

5:16 am

sukee

Mine now lives in my sinuses, fighting it with my neti pot.

5:17 am

zoozzoom

I do not think I could use one of those.

5:18 am

sukee

I didn't think so either but it's quite easy.

5:18 am

zoozzoom

I think I would end up swallowing the contents..YUCK!

5:18 am

sukee

If I used it every day my sinuses would be great. But, of course, I don't.

5:19 am

zoozzoom

I suppose it is rather time consuming?

5:21 am

sukee

Not really, less than 5 minutes. I use warm tap water but run it through a filter. Then I just empty a pre-mixed package into the water.

5:22 am

zoozzoom

Oh I see..so you have to have a type of medicine to put through it. Not just warm water?

5:22 am

sukee

Do you have a clue for the o in the last column? That is all I need for nbt.

5:22 am

MollyL

Zoom, they sell saline spray for your nose, which is very good when you have a cold. I don't think I could use a neti pot either.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Solution might be a btter word than medicine.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Yeah I could use a spray.

5:24 am

sukee

I use the saline spray sometimes too. It is faster. But the neti pot is good for more serious cleaning :)

5:24 am

sukee

I do have a spray that as aloe in it, nice if you have a sore throat.

5:25 am

DTins

od4/6

5:25 am

sukee

Ty DTins, got it :)

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Aloe vera is supposed to be an amazing product it is used in so many products. from creams to sprays as you say, Sukee.

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Sukee i missed that call for a clue.

5:26 am

sukee

S'okay :) Got it.

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Yay I am down to 34 words to find. did not realise until I just looked lol

5:28 am

sukee

Had to put something up to block my grey cat from getting behind the TV. He was checking it out right now :) He fits fine, I just don't want him to accidentally knock the TV over.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

Not with all those wires that can gather behind these types of things.

5:29 am

sukee

This grid sure is a challenge. just as well I have no work to do until after Christmas :)

5:29 am

sukee

Quite a change from having a blind cat, these guys want to get everywhere.

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Bet that feels nice knowing you have all this time to yourself, sukee!

5:30 am

sukee

It does. Going to a breakfast on Friday...hopefully.

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Nice..A healthy brekkie or a good ole fry-up?

5:31 am

sukee

In between, probably bacon and pancakes and possibly a yogurt parfait.

5:32 am

zoozzoom

Nice compromise!

5:32 am

sukee

This place is attacked to a senior's centre where I work out. So, they don't go all out :)

5:33 am

MollyL

I'd be all about bacon and pancakes. Yogurt, not so much.

5:33 am

zoozzoom

I would go for bacon, mushroom, sausages, tomato, beans, fried egg and some tost.

5:33 am

sukee

Yes, I'm always up for bacon :)

5:34 am

sukee

I would love a good old-fashioned British fry up, with some black pudding.

5:34 am

zoozzoom

I nearly threw myself into the PB again!

5:34 am

MollyL

Ooo, Zoom's breakfast sounds good.

5:35 am

sukee

Well, at home I could have chicken bacon, mushroom, beans, an egg and toast.

5:35 am

sukee

lol, and I did it :)

5:35 am

zoozzoom

The best of it is I never put weight on. But not sure about the cholesterol levels though lol

5:35 am

zoozzoom

So you did!

5:35 am

rubyfoo

Hello

5:36 am

sukee

Hi Ruby.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Ruby))

5:36 am

rubyfoo

All those breakfasts sound wonderful

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Oh no I hate black pudding, sukee. Even the smell of it makes me gag.

5:36 am

rubyfoo

I read that being cold makes you burn calories; I thought so, but hadn't read itt before

5:37 am

zoozzoom

Would make sense, Ruby. Thr body needs to pump more blood round to keep you warm.

5:37 am

sukee

For breakfast today, I will probably have oatmeal. Exciting.

5:38 am

rubyfoo

I Love big breakfasts, but I'm too tired in the AM to make them -- especially French toast, pancakes, sausages, eggs

5:38 am

zoozzoom

I had a few honey sandwiches and a cup of tea lol

5:39 am

sukee

Oh, French toast sounds good.

5:39 am

rubyfoo

I used tto eat oatmeal but developed a terrible allergy about 4 years ago.

5:39 am

sukee

Anyway, have to run for a sec, will bb

5:39 am

rubyfoo

It's off getting allergies at my age!!

5:39 am

zoozzoom

How is your weather doing, Ruby?

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Sukee :-)

5:40 am

rubyfoo

It's cold and looks like snow

5:40 am

rubyfoo

bye Sukee

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Not good then :-(

5:40 am

rubyfoo

oodd* nor off

5:41 am

zoozzoom

They keep saying there is a storm on the way here for Christmas day.

5:41 am

zoozzoom

I think you can get allergies at any age, Ruby.

8:46 am

montreal13

8:47 am

montreal13

NYC bagles also have a good reputation, don't they ?

8:47 am

penquis

yes, but they are too bready for me...

8:48 am

zoozzoom

May I ask a silly question about bagels.

8:48 am

zoozzoom

?

8:48 am

penquis

sure...

8:48 am

zoozzoom

Why do they have a hole in them?

8:48 am

montreal13

why do doughnuts have holes?... ;o)

8:49 am

penquis

well i hope to talk my brother into going to Montreal with me this summer.....we can stay with my cousin....

8:50 am

montreal13

when it comes to donuts, i prefer the Boston: no hole !

8:50 am

zoozzoom

Was going to say the donuts i eat do not have a hole in them lol

8:51 am

penquis

i want your doughnuts, zooz....

8:51 am

zoozzoom

The donut has a whole in the middle so the dough will cook as evenly as the outside.

8:52 am

zoozzoom

I did google that one :-)

8:52 am

zoozzoom

I suppose that is the same for the bagel then.

8:52 am

penquis

perhaps that is also true about bagels...

8:53 am

zoozzoom

I suppose I donut the answer to the question for sure :-)

8:53 am

montreal13

lol zooz !

8:56 am

Surprised there's no mistletoe over her head... the little tramp.

11:05 am

Uneaixoise

she is quite the ho . . . . ho ho :-)

11:05 am

Judi

lol, une!

11:05 am

Deeha

we had a lot of ohmmmmmmm in yesterdays clues!!

11:06 am

Judi

Enlightenment during Me9: OhmmmmMG!

11:09 am

Uneaixoise

Villa Antinoril, Italian home of the real Mona Lisa, is currently on the market for $24 million! :-)

11:09 am

hurshy

oh is that all?

11:09 am

Judi

Maybe Madonna will buy it. She certainly has the Euro for it.

11:12 am

Judi

Someone should snap it up. The Italians need the $$.

11:12 am

SamanthaJoy

"Rotini" is not inthe dictionary?

11:12 am

Uneaixoise

44 to go .. . . BBL :-)

11:12 am

hurshy

no rotini OR crostini

11:13 am

SamanthaJoy

They are wrong. We are right.

11:13 am

hurshy

julia roberts could buy it, she starred in Mona Lisa Smile

11:14 am

Deeha

isn't there a savoury biscuit in US called a sa4.4 -ini?

11:15 am

Deeha

oden

11:15 am

hurshy

no, almost - sa4ine

11:15 am

MollyL

And there is nothing savory about a sa4ine

11:15 am

Deeha

sorry about that luckily it was wrong!

11:16 am

Judi

True. They are mostly just tasteless, dry cracker with sa4.

11:16 am

MollyL

And it's not a biscuit it's a cracker. But other than that, yeah.

11:17 am

MollyL

If you really want tasteless, go for the rice cakes. As Bill Cosby said "the air in my mouth tastes better than this"

11:18 am

Judi

Brits call crackers "crisps" and cookies "bisquits". Those cheeky, charming buggers!

11:19 am

MLFAN17

even the rice cakes "with flavor" are not that tasty

11:19 am

MollyL

The Brit phrase that kills me is "digestive biscuit". It sounds like something brown you would see floating in the toilet.

11:20 am

Judi

Yeah. They used to hand out Saltines for free - or in war-time rations. Shocking that people now actually pay money for them.

11:20 am

MLFAN17

I actually love saltine crackers

11:21 am

Judi

Proof that aliens live among us.

11:21 am

MollyL

Um Judi, people pay money for water and dirt. Why not Saltines?

11:21 am

Judi

Either that or you have been brainwashed, MLF>

11:22 am

Judi

True, Molly. Americans will buy ANYTHING.

11:22 am

MLFAN17

ea6?

11:22 am

Deeha

no we call cookies biscuits because word comes from French meaning cook twice! We call French fries chips and chips crisps - and crackers crackers

11:23 am

Judi

Thank you for that clarification, Deeha.

11:23 am

MLFAN17

I have not heard chip crisps but I knew French fries are called chips

11:23 am

MLFAN17

what is wrong with salty and crispy?

11:24 am

Deeha

I fo realise I stRTED THIS SALRTINE ARGUMENT-I JUST DROPPED A PEBBLE INTO THE POND!!!

11:24 am

MollyL

This is an argument?

11:24 am

MLFAN17

its just chat deeha

11:24 am

Judi

Not an argument. A global discussion.

11:25 am

Deeha

Didn't mean all the capitals hit the caps button by mistake!

11:25 am

MollyL

Man, you really have to tread lightly in this place.

11:25 am

Deeha

I know I wAS JUST JOKNG

11:25 am

Judi

Educational, really.

11:25 am

MLFAN17
