justafreep

one of my favorite superhero, Gillie

12:22 am

I hate it when eunuchs are phantoms. They should stop hiding in the shadows, right!

12:22 am

cybernan

hit the wall with only 47 words

12:23 am

Gillie

I was looking up "eunuch superhero" to find out who you were talking about, freep - but I guess you were joking?

12:23 am

justafreep

I was.

12:23 am

Gillie

I did try eunoch, just in case

12:23 am

Are you done, IG?

6:10 am

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Scrab - how it going?

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Sunny and clear here. I will go out with a yardstick later and measure the snowfall. The town 25 minutes north has the highest snowfall with 66 inches.

6:13 am

ItalianGreyhound

so no more snow coming for now?

6:15 am

Scrabbler

The snow band will shift south today so we have another 5-10 inches coming.

6:16 am

ItalianGreyhound

Yeeesh - are you able to get out and about

6:17 am

Scrabbler

There is no travel ban in my town so I could drive 8 miles to shop. My snowplow guy has cleared my driveway 4 times since Thursday morning.

6:19 am

ItalianGreyhound

good - youre not trapped then. Break out the snowshoes and explore

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Hm

7:04 am

Scrabbler

I don't know any Magisters. What is a Magister?

7:05 am

godthaab

It is a teacher, but the answer really rests on the fact that you know a specific teacher.

7:08 am

BzznBea

Scrabs, are you still getting snow?

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Quite a bit, Bea. Maybe 20 inches here, but the town 25 minutes northwest is leading with 66 inches as of last night.

7:13 am

Scrabbler

Updated snowfall totals are not yet posted.

7:14 am

BzznBea

How soon before you go snowshoeing?

Jacula

Fireworks! *~*~*~* Last word was co6.24 - a fruit or vegatable sauce.

9:41 pm

Jacula

Most of the grid was an easy gallop through, the remainder not so much so.

9:42 pm

origami

This one has been a challenge for me.

9:42 pm

Jacula

VegEtable, I meant, btw. Still got the blurry eyesight thing going on.

9:43 pm

Jacula

Are you done now origami, r do you still need clues?

9:43 pm

origami

Not done. But I still have 24 to go so don't know what clue to ask for :D

9:44 pm

Jacula

Well,, yell when you do. i'll be around for a short while.

9:46 pm

origami

Got your Christmas cakes done, Jacula?

9:48 pm

Jacula

\yea, weeks ago. I'm feeding them now and will marzipan, ice and decorate them 2 weeks before the day.

9:50 pm

origami

Have you seen the movie "A Christmas Memory" about Truman Capote's childhood. He and his whacky aunt make fruit cakes for everyone and their brother :D

9:53 pm

Jacula

The decorations will be very simple this year due to the ongoing blurry eyesight problem that the opthalmologist has tried his best to solve for almost 3 years now and my GP doesn't seem to be that interested in other than giving me prescriptions for various eye drops and allergy tablets that don't work. My opthalmologist is so frustrated with my GP now that he's goimg t override him and ssent me fr a consulatation at the eye hospital.

9:53 pm

Jacula

No, I don't think I've seen that movie yet.

9:55 pm

origami

I'm glad you're finally getting the eye care you need. That movie is from the 90's - it is very touching and charming. Capote wrote and narrated it.

9:56 pm

Jacula

I'm getting very tired of making the amount of Xmas cakes I have to make and decorate. Have suggested the family should decorate the plain cakes I could give them, another family member might take up the mantle of official Christmas cake maker etc., etc. No joy on that front so far. I'm tired. I've been doing it and the numbers of cakes have been going up since I was 11 years old. I'm 65 now.

9:58 pm

origami

Seems like quite an undertaking. How many are you making this year?

10:00 pm

Jacula

I've done 7 this year and they are all smaller than in past years.

10:01 pm

Jacula

Stop chatting to me. origami and concentrate on your Babble grid. LOL
