good morning. I couldn't sleep, been up for almost 3 hours
1:22 am

hello Ruby
1:23 am
Lizlin
Hi Ruby - sorry you couldn't sleep.
1:23 am

good morning all
1:23 am

hello flosey
1:23 am
Lizlin
Hi and hugs, Sprite
1:23 am
rubyfoo
It was husband's birythday; he would have been 92
1:23 am
Lizlin
Aw - a tough day, I'd imagine.
1:24 am
rubyfoo
Gloomy day
1:24 am
sprite
*hugs Liz* Hello dear friend! How are you doing? Was the special day very special?
1:24 am
Lizlin
Hope you drank a toast in his honour.
1:24 am
Lizlin
It was fine thanks, Sprite.
1:24 am
rubyfoo
but that made it sadder
1:24 am
Lizlin
More tuneful would've been better but the rest was easy so it was a good day.
1:25 am
Lizlin
Hugs, Ruby.
1:25 am
sprite
I am glad, Liz. It took a lot of preparation, I believe.
1:25 am
Lizlin
No, not really!
1:26 am
Lizlin
Not sure what preparation you mean.
1:26 am
rubyfoo
Thanks, Liz. It was a day to reminisce and remember the good times
1:26 am
Lizlin
That's the best attitude. To try to focus on the good times you remember.
1:27 am
sprite
not sure either, lol. I thought you said you had a lot to do, last time I saw you. Guess I automatically thought it was in preparation for the holiday.
1:27 am
rubyfoo
We had a great romance for many years
1:28 am
Lizlin
That was probably before New Year. Before the fast, it's just a meal - though we do stay closer to the synagogue. Now it's time to prepare for the next one on Wednesday evening but taking a break today.
1:29 am
sprite
is that Yom Kippur?
1:29 am
Lizlin
It's just generally a busy month.
1:29 am
Lizlin
That was yesterday.
1:29 am
sprite
ah, see, I got it all mixed up in my head. I am sorry.
1:30 am
Lizlin
Happy to help clarify for you.
1:30 am
Lizlin
How've you been?
1:32 am
sprite
very well, thank you. My beloved treated me to a cinema visit last night, quite unexpectedly. The movie was scary, but being out together was wonderful.
1:32 am
Lizlin
Sounds fun - what movie?
1:32 am
sprite
it was IT, after the book by stephen king.
1:33 am
Lizlin
Don't know the movie or the book but I do know Stephen King. Can't say his writing has ever appealed.
1:33 am
Lizlin
Did you get the UK series "Genius" on TV? Fictionalised account of the life of Einstein. Very good.
1:35 am
sprite
he has written quite a few really good books. But also quite a few that are a bit over the top as far as the horror level goes. The movie is horror, heavy on yucky things and sudden shocks, way too light on story or characters.
1:35 am
sprite
not sure. Will look out for it, sounds interesting.
1:35 am
Lizlin
Probably not my thing then.
1:36 am
Lizlin
It is good - also watching a 6 part documentary on the br5 at the moment. Very understandable and very good.
1:36 am
sprite
no, I think it isn't. It wasn't mine either, lol. Still, it was wonderful being out together.
1:37 am
Lizlin
I'm sure it was a lovely evening. OK - time for a break. 300 down. Don't want to go to Lickety yet, so perhaps I'll see more when I come back later. Have a good day. Hugs to you and all.
1:37 am
ursh

1:59 am

2:30 am

ugh, that is frustrating. It seems to be doing that a lot with big grids. So far so good here, but I am just over halfway so not that long a wordlist yet
2:30 am
sprite
I am very well, thank you
2:31 am
sprite
I am glad you are going to drJohn tomorrow, ro4. High time!

2:33 am
grannyrose
hey ya maisie xoxox
2:33 am
Maisie
It's a miserable wet day here so nice to have a big grid
2:34 am
grannyrose
ooh, nice maisie. hot chocolate, toasty warm and a big babble grid. couldn't be better
2:34 am
sprite
for once, we seem to have better weather than you, Maisie. There is even a hesitant sun out atm.
2:34 am
sprite
tomorrow week? Is that a week from tomorrow?
2:34 am
Maisie
Would have thought our weather would be similar being fairly close
2:35 am
sprite
usually it is, Maisie.
2:35 am
grannyrose
yes sprite. i guess it lost something in the translation.
2:35 am
Maisie
Perhaps you have this rain to look forward to
2:36 am
sprite
yeah, didn't know you could say it like that too. Forgive your dutch soul sister for missing the finer points, lollll
2:36 am
sprite
don't you dare share it with us, Maisie!
2:37 am
sprite
we had lots of rain yesterday. I prefer to think we are past it :D
2:37 am
Maisie
Well we don't need it, all my water butts are full, perhaps you sent your rain to us
2:37 am
sprite
but rose... another week... that is a long wait still. *hugsss* and I will think of you lots and lots.
2:39 am
sprite
lol Maisie, the mind images are killing me!
2:39 am
grannyrose
thanx my darling. i opened up and shared all with don. he has been very supportive and kind.
2:39 am
Maisie
You are awful - but I like you
2:39 am
grannyrose
oh dear...maisie's butts are full.... time for an enema or two perhaps.
2:40 am
sprite
oh wow, I am so proud of you! I know that is not easy for you. And yay for Don for stepping up. Is he feeling well again? Maybe even well enough for (I hardly dare to suggest it) sorting out the photos?
2:40 am
Maisie
and you are worse!
2:40 am
grannyrose
you know, high, hot and a helluva lot. i recommend milk and treacle. works well.
2:40 am
sprite
roflollllll the feeling is mutual, Maisie :D
2:41 am
sprite
*smug face* See, rose, you are worse than me.
2:41 am
Maisie
but you already knew that sprite
2:41 am
sprite
yeah but kind things can't be said too often, right?
2:41 am
grannyrose
not difficult to achieve, sugar and spice sprite. i grew up with four brothers.
2:42 am
sprite
woooot I got an alliterating name! Sugar and spice sprite... sugar and spice and all things nice... that's me!
2:43 am
grannyrose
whoot ! pa9/60
2:43 am
sprite
I still have only the one 9, grin. Slow as ever on the biggie side. Got the 10, thanks to dizzie.
2:44 am
Maisie
alliterating is an awfully long word to mean starting with the same letter
2:44 am
sprite
true, dat. Though 'starting with the same letter' isn't shorter. Just more words.
2:44 am
Maisie
I think the longest I've got is a 7, You two keep putting me off!
2:45 am
sprite
imagine that *evil grin*
2:45 am
grannyrose
now how do we do that i wonder....equally evil grin
2:46 am
sprite
can't be us, rose.
2:46 am
Maisie
Try harder I've got 2 8's
2:46 am
sprite

2:47 am
Maisie

2:48 am
grannyrose

2:48 am
sprite

2:49 am
Maisie

2:49 am
grannyrose

2:50 am
sprite
I am. Very. Rose, see them undulate!
2:50 am
Maisie
You've seen my butt - well almost not that big. Its the top half that overflows with me
2:51 am
sprite
I have no doubt you are just as beautiful outside as you are inside, Maisie. Rose, am I right?
2:51 am
Maisie
If she says yes she's lying
2:52 am
sprite
rose doesn't do lies at all
2:52 am
grannyrose

2:56 am

Hello, back to try for a few more
4:42 am
rubyfoo
I just ate sweet potato pancakes with sour cream on top for lunch. How fattening is that? LOL
4:45 am
MollyL
Probably as fattening as the bacon stuffed French toast I had yesterday. But I don't think of food as "fattening". Just good. And that French toast was GOOD.
5:51 am
Alleyn58
What does the 10 begin with?
6:03 am
rubyfoo
The French call French toast "pain perdu". They empty out the middle of stale loaves but never thought of maple syrup
6:03 am
MollyL
Lickety lists the longest top 3 words at the top of his list
6:03 am
rubyfoo
sorry, my friend Pino, just called aand took me to the village for an apéro.
6:03 am
rubyfoo
Too funny!
6:04 am
MollyL
Apéros With Pino...sounds like a French afternoon show.
6:05 am
rubyfoo
We sat at the bar and the men started saying that l was "canone" and must have been Something at 20. I said "What do you mean, 20, 40 was better!"
6:06 am
Alleyn58
Does the he10 begin like a chicken?!
6:06 am
rubyfoo
He's a handsome 50 ish Sicilian who has done some work
6:06 am
rubyfoo
(painting, etc.)
6:08 am
Alleyn58
Can answer that! No
6:10 am
rubyfoo
That brightened the day
6:16 am
MollyL
Drinks with a handsome Sicilian. That would brighten any woman's day. Speaking of Sicilians, my oldest is on his first trip to Italy. I'm so happy for him.
6:18 am
rubyfoo
l love Italy. The village is close enough, via the Mont Blanc tunnel, to have lunch in Aosta. We used to take all our houseguests there, great food and Roman ruins
6:20 am
rubyfoo
Where is your son going in Italy,Molly? I've never had enough time there
6:20 am
MollyL
My son was an art major in college so I'm sure he will appreciate all the fine art there is to see in Italy.
6:22 am
rubyfoo
The food is more important than the art (l was an art major, too) but Siena had my favorite art museum
6:24 am
MollyL
Well the food is a major plus to the trip as well. I'm doing virtual tours on line to get an idea of what he might see.
6:25 am
rubyfoo
Things have certainly changed; it was hit-or-miss when l was there forthe first time
6:26 am
rubyfoo
If he like Italian Renaissance painting, the museum in Siena is wonderful
6:27 am
rubyfoo
before computers
6:28 am
rubyfoo
<-- very old
6:37 am
MollyL
I'm just glad he is getting a nice, and well deserved vacation. He is going with a friend, which will make it that much more enjoyable.
6:55 am
bichon
I just got the he 10 and was shocked that its in Enable
7:00 am
MollyL
I'm not. That word generated in 1975 which makes it old enough for Enable to have captured.
7:01 am
MollyL
Dorens is in the grid today. Someone pass her the Babble tiara if you see her.

he10 is a term created by feminists for the kind of study of the past that focuses on women's experiences, pointing out that the "traditional" study of the past focuses largely on males and what they did.
