displaying my ignorance...:-|
1:26 am

1:27 am

The disease is: isorder of the inner ear associated with a change in the volume of fluid inside a portion of the inner ear called the labyrinth, which includes the membranous labyrinth and the bony labryinth.
It is spelled without the U in english, and WITH that U in dutch. Hence the confusion on my side.
1:27 am
Kallia
ah...it wont accept the disease
1:28 am
Kallia
oops sorry!!!!
1:28 am

2:42 am
mrpresident
Hi haz and jean!
Well, the aussies gave it a good go and are the pride of our nation! We actually have sporting *superstars* for once in our history!
2:43 am
Haz1558
For once? I thought the Aussies were famous as sportsmen!
2:44 am
Atalante
Shane Warne might look a bit pissed off at that statment, MrP ;)
2:44 am
mrpresident
ah, famous yes! superstars?? yes now! I am very happy for us!
2:44 am
Haz1558
Margaret Court, Rod Laver etc also come to mind.
2:45 am
mrpresident
He is a shagging drunken monkey with bleach for brains! His arm has all the talent!
He is not well regarded because of his lewd ways!
Court and Laver are immortal!
2:47 am
Atalante

3:41 am
Jemma444
hi everyone!!
3:42 am
amandacath
You're kidding! Where can they possibly be?
3:42 am
Haz1558
There are 260 words today and good evening Jemma.
3:43 am
Jemma444
Hi Karys and Haz!!How are you both?
3:43 am
Karys
I don't mind how many today....golf widow !
3:43 am
Karys
Good here thank you Jemma....you too I hope :)
3:44 am
Jemma444
I'm ok i guess!!a bit sad!!
3:44 am
Karys
oh dear...why is that ?
3:44 am
Kateq
Anyone have the un's? I have the number and its plural, and the open shoelace word. there's a un 6/24 and a un 5/15 inbetween which I just can't find
3:44 am
Haz1558
I'm fine Jemma - sorry to hear you're a bit sad....
3:45 am
Karys
not yet Kateq...sorry
3:45 am
Jemma444
oh, just today @ school!!it's not a big deal!!
3:45 am
Karys
oh thats ok then....you'll soon get over that !!
3:45 am
Cat9x
Hi Kate, un6/24, un plus me4/5
3:46 am
amandacath
Kateq - someone who is not picked up at the airport is...
3:46 am
Jemma444
But thanks for asking!!I always tell Miss ABS, you guys are so kind on babble!!
3:46 am
Haz1558
un5/14 - not yet encountered
3:46 am
Jemma444
Hi Cat!!How are you!!
3:46 am
Jemma444
Haz, how is your dog??
3:47 am
Kateq
TY all very much! I am down to one word
3:47 am
Cat9x
Hi Jemma, I'm fine thanks :) Just plugging away, trying to finish my last 13 words, before bed.
3:47 am
Haz1558
She is fine, thanks Jemma - outside rooting about in the garden.
3:47 am
Cat9x
you're welcome Kate
3:47 am
Karys
I want 'unkempt' !!
3:47 am
Jemma444
Cool!!I bet you are thinking really hard!!
3:48 am
Cat9x
So hard Jemma that smoke is coming out of my ears! :)
3:48 am
Jemma444
Ibet!!LOL
3:49 am
Jemma444
that word isn't in the puzzle anyway!!
3:50 am
Haz1558
Jemma - the first four letters are. Now make it the person who does the action, and pluralise it.
3:50 am
Cat9x
add 2 letters to that word, minus the S you had on there and you will have si6/30, plural that and you will have si7/44
3:51 am
Cat9x
change the first letter of that word, a few times to get more words and their plurals
3:51 am
Jemma444
I already have that Haz, but thanks anyway!!(:
3:52 am
Haz1558
See, you're getting so good at this!
3:53 am
Jemma444
Yep!!a lot of practice is needed though!!some of my friends are bored of babble, but NOT ME!!I love it (:
3:53 am
Cat9x
Good job Jemma, keep at it! :)
3:54 am
Jemma444
I WILL!!!
3:54 am
Haz1558
Good for you. The 'writing fluid' word is featured within lots of words on this grid.
3:55 am

3:55 am
Karys

3:58 am
Jemma444

3:58 am
Haz1558

3:58 am
FMitch

Jemma444
I really enjoy playing Babble FMitch, it is 1 of my hobbies now!!(:
4:00 am
72 Temple Owl
i am a bit discombobulated...they told me to take claritin at bedtime beacuse it would make me drowsy...well, I was always a backwards child!
4:00 am
Haz1558
I'm impressed that you've stuck at it, Jemma
4:00 am
Jemma444
So am I!!lol(: it is my favourite website!!
4:01 am
Cat9x
No problem Haz :)
4:01 am
Haz1558
So the claritin didn't work for you - at least not at the right time. Is it for allergies or am I thinking of something else?
4:02 am
72 Temple Owl
it is...however, it was prescribed as a result of a bee sting...
4:02 am
Atalante
I don't like this grid .........
4:02 am
Haz1558
Oh, nasty - insect stings can be very painful.
4:02 am
72 Temple Owl
lol ata!
4:03 am
Karys
Hi Atalante.....I did to start with !!!
4:03 am
Cat9x
I liked it at the beginning also, tough now
4:03 am
FMitch
I don't either Ata, got 107 and stuck.
4:03 am
Atalante
glad its not just me!
4:04 am
Haz1558
Ladies, ladies, we've tackled worse than this!
4:04 am
Jemma444
can any1 give me a clue for ar6/18?
4:04 am
FMitch
yea, it's when everyone else comes back and says "it's great" or "I'm done" that you know you really have problems!!
4:04 am
Atalante
true true Haz ... am having a whiny day though :)
4:05 am
Kukana
ar + s4 (the trigonometry one)
4:05 am
Cat9x
ar plus one of the 7 deadly ***s, plus 2nd vowel
4:05 am
72 Temple Owl
jemma: ar + si4/4
4:06 am
Atalante
I know! Just the way Sprite scampered through it earlier was depressing enough!
4:06 am
Jemma444
Ok everyone, my brother and my dad are back with dinner. I better go now!!Have a gr8 day everyone, or night!!Bye Haz, Cat9x and everyone else. Happy Babbling!!(:Bye
4:07 am
amandacath
Sprite's finished already?!?! How does she do it? Our newly unemployed friend is in the grid! I think that's appropriate
4:07 am
Jemma444
And Thanks TO!!
4:07 am
Haz1558
We savour the words, and welcome them individually. It's just a different approach.
4:07 am
72 Temple Owl

Unicorn

4:08 am
FMitch
Well said Haz!
4:08 am
Haz1558
fa6/27 resigned from her job - that's the polite way of putting it!
4:08 am
72 Temple Owl
oh......
4:09 am
Atalante
or the impoilte way - she told her boss to go f*** himself and stormed out
4:10 am
amandacath
Ata's (and F's!) way is much more fun!
4:10 am
72 Temple Owl
how did i miss this? seems like i have been babbling away my life lately
4:10 am
Karys

4:10 am
Atalante

4:10 am
amandacath
It was yesterday, afternoon over here, TO
4:11 am
Haz1558
It happened yesterday afternoon our time, and morning on your side of the pond. We were all cheering for her.
4:11 am
72 Temple Owl

4:13 am
Karys
there....got my 100 now !
4:14 am
72 Temple Owl
so dish...what happened?
4:15 am
Haz1558
Apparently her boss was a real creep, using abusive language to everyone. She refused to take the abuse and left - after giving him a piece of her mind.
4:16 am
72 Temple Owl
good for her! except now she must go looking again
4:17 am
Haz1558
She was sure that she could get another job - I hope that is the case.
4:18 am
72 Temple Owl
please give her my best when you see her. i think i will finally turn in...i am stuck at 168 and the thought of finding 92 more makes me nauseated
4:19 am
Karys
Sleep tite Temple :)

4:19 am
amandacath
nitey-nite, TO!

4:21 am
72 Temple Owl

4:21 am
Haz1558
GO TO BED!
4:22 am
amandacath
That L in the corner is thoroughly useless, isn't it? Or am I overlooking something...
4:22 am
Atalante
who will Aus play next, MrP? do we know yet?
4:22 am
mrpresident
Temple... literati championships is on Saturday night!! Get sleep my dear and get more meds!!

4:25 am
72 Temple Owl
mr. p: my grandfather's sister emigrated from italy to australia...
4:26 am
mrpresident
Very popular destination for european settlers! :))
4:27 am
Karys
We had phone call from Australia last night to say my 'hubby' has a new grandson !!!!
4:27 am
Atalante
I have a sneaky feeling Australia might do quite well there ... *sigh*
4:27 am
72 Temple Owl
but so very hard to get in , i thought...
4:27 am
mrpresident
congrats Kary!!
4:27 am
Haz1558
Only the best are allowed into Australia, isn't that right mrpresident?
4:28 am
FMitch
Great, Karys - bet you are as smiley as your cat today then!!
4:28 am
Karys
bit 'worried' about the name tho'....Otis Maxwell ..???
4:29 am
Karys
and they have a double barreled surname to boot !
4:29 am
Haz1558
I can imagine a man called Otis, but it's not a baby name. Does that sound stupid?
4:29 am
mrpresident
Absolutely!!We import only the best!!
4:29 am
amandacath
oh dear...Otis, huh? Well....
4:30 am
Atalante
could be worse I guess!
4:30 am
FMitch
A name that will take some growing into.
4:30 am
Karys
not at all Haz....I am finding it difficult to imagine actually meeting and saying 'hello there little Otis' !!
4:31 am
72 Temple Owl
bet he becomes max...
4:31 am
mrpresident
or maxine!
4:31 am
Karys
perhaps a cat ?....oor even a dog...but a baby...weeeellll
4:31 am
amandacath
Max good, Otis not so much
4:31 am
FMitch
not to mention a lift (Oh I didn't say that)!!!!
4:32 am
mrpresident
Karys, smile and call him darling and sweeting and cherub... that works for about 2 years whilst you get your therapist to work you through it!
4:32 am
Karys
can do the Max.........oh goodness that had't yet occured to me FMitch !
4:32 am
amandacath
Any help for the 8's? Ive got the smellies and the ponderers...
4:33 am
FMitch
So sorry Karys. Just couldnt resist.
4:33 am
Karys

4:33 am
mrpresident
me8 - fattening batter on fish
4:34 am
FMitch
Technically MrP that is not actally quite right as it is a dusting of flour on something like a dover sole and then cooked in butter. (Today's cookery lesson is now over)!
4:35 am
mrpresident
sounds fattening to me!! LOL
4:35 am
Haz1558
Got it now, thanks FMitch
4:35 am
amandacath
my culinary skills are fairly lacking, will have to ponder that one for a bit...
4:36 am
mrpresident
sorry, I have been up since before the dawn of history and my clues might be stupid tonight!
4:36 am
Haz1558
amanda - you would see it on a menu (in fact the first four letters are in it)
4:36 am
FMitch
I saw sprites def for it earlier and knew it straight off but just couldn't spell the darn thing, had to google it in the end.
4:36 am
Karys
must go and do 'something' in the house...back later :)
4:37 am
snowyowl
Hi all - not staying -just logged in to see how many today, beginning to wish I hadn't! Except that I can congratulate Karys on her new grandson. Think Otis Redding & that lovely voice Karys! One of my grandaughters has Tulip as a middle name! It's quite cute now but when she's 30?! LOL See you all later on I hope
4:37 am
FMitch
(((MrP))) sports overload!!!
4:37 am
mrpresident

Hello snowyowl - those 260 words will haunt you until you can settle down to them.
4:38 am
FMitch

Karys

4:40 am
helenary
mrp, I have a technical question for you. I use a desk top and laptop computer for different things. When I fill the spaces for lickety's clues, and then open the laptop, I lose all the entries i.e. they stay on the desk top but have to start again with laptop. The same thing does not happen with opening and closing the actual babble puzzle. Is that sort of clear??
4:40 am
Haz1558
There's a local chemist called Vivian Primrose. What were his parents thinking? A surname like Primrose needed a manly name to offset it.
4:40 am
Karys
try again....going now :)
4:40 am
Haz1558
Bye Karys!
4:41 am
snowyowl
Hi Haz, I MUST NOT sit here as I would like, but finish my washing up & clean the kitchen floor now. I sometimes get the feeling that i married the wrong man! LOL
4:41 am

Oh Lickety!!!

If you want to get really technical you can copy the cookies from one to the other

en8/45, is en6/21 with ending like opposite of your bro(ther)
4:44 am

Best we do this off list. Unless everyone else wants to hear techno stuff
4:44 am
helenary
i tried that but they copied back to blank..i even emailed myself
4:45 am
licketySplitAUS
mmm - I haven't tried it myself - might be a security thing that stops it from happening.
4:45 am
helenary
ok but how? Hope you don't mind.
4:46 am
licketySplitAUS
Is the laptop on a network?
4:47 am
helenary
never mind i'll go thru it again but i only have 73 words left to go. Have a Mac. Yes i am bigpond and use piilot.
4:47 am
licketySplitAUS
You could remote control one PC with the other maybe - that way you can see both?
4:47 am
FMitch
carry on lickety I don't have a prob. Also someone was asking how to clear the cookies this morning so it is useful info to post in the log or as a supplementary somewhere on your list perhaps?
4:48 am
licketySplitAUS
Fmitch- sometimes Firefox hangs onto a page - you can force a Refresh of the page sometimes to help.
4:48 am
helenary
sorry, but what does clearing cookies mean?
4:48 am
licketySplitAUS
I clear the cookies if it's a new game..but something the page doesn't know
4:48 am
licketySplitAUS
and a Cntrl F5 or Shift F5 sometimes helps
4:49 am

the wierd me8/50, never heard of, had to google it, but it breaks down like this...me plus **derwear, plus 3rd vowel plus h*** comes the bride.
4:49 am
licketySplitAUS
Helenary - I think you want to see your clues on your other PC. only way to do that is print, or remote control the other one.
4:50 am
amandacath
thanks Cat! google wasn't finding it for me
4:50 am

crazy word, dislike it when they are so odd I have to search for them on google or other sites.
4:50 am
helenary
ok, feel i am imposing..will keep working on it. have to get this job done before doing important things. Thanks lickety v much
4:50 am
Cat9x
Never saw that Ata, even the variant spelling one.
4:52 am
licketySplitAUS
Did I help? I didn't think so - Thanks for the Thanks anyway ;-) What I can suggest is this - Use Babble to enter words, use the clues when you get stuck.
4:54 am
helenary
i do, ido..i babble till i cannot go anyfurther..look at lickety, and tick what i have and minimize page and work along side the puzzle with AtoZ close at hand. I tried to send the lickety page to my laptop but lost all the entries. I will print the list next time I want to move computers. Good idea??
5:03 am
licketySplitAUS
Yeah - but another idea is to work out how you can see the screen of the desktop on the laptop. I can do it windows to windows, but not about mac
5:05 am
helenary
ok i will persevere, but printing is the easiest option..thanks it was great being able to discuss this with you..

5:25 am
amandacath
that's the trig function, Cat (believe it or not - I thought it meant "poetry-like" until I looked it up...); got the realism one - one more to go.
5:26 am
Cat9x
do you have ve4/7? ****ical, as opposed to horizontal
5:28 am
amandacath
I swear I put that in a dozen times and it wouldn't take! Does that really happen, or do we just think we type the words....?
5:28 am

I have the 4/7 which is a bit of glass, I have the fr 5/18 which adds a letter and the fr5/16 which makes it plural
5:59 am
Kateq
It's my last word and I am going mad
5:59 am

Eva - I have the en8 urine one, but I can't make it into a 7.....hints plz?
6:43 am
Eva
sorry movie-Im really f_____ up with hints for you today. The en7 is not connected to incontinence-it is the plural of en6/18 which one wouldn't think wo9uld have a plural but does. the en6/18 which means the whole thing
6:44 am
Eva
will you still play with me despite my sending you on wild goose chases?

okay, I'm going to be careful about this one...te7/32 is the plural of te 6/21 which is what a faculty member gets if they are hired on permanently.

I'm a little confused on the point count....I have a 7-letter word with points adding to 10, but the score is 40.
8:12 am
Haz1558
That's because the points for a 5 letter word are doubled, trebled for a 6 and so on.
8:13 am
Haz1558
It means that it is to your advantage to find longer words - more points.

8:16 am
FMitch

8:17 am
movieman
It's a pretty fun grid today, Aloy, lots of 7's & 8's, but most of them are quite easy....
8:17 am
Aloyisius
LOL FMitch.. no way I could do it, even with the list... I mean that I have an hour to happily babble before I need to go for a while. (-:
8:18 am
FMitch
Me neither Aoly but enjoy anyway.
8:18 am

8:20 am
Aloyisius
Yesterday was hilarious when I left Babble to get some yard work done - took the old Lab out with me, and in no time the skies turned black and we were hit with tremendous storms... so, I took that as a sign to keep on babblin!

9:46 am
FMitch
But surely hurshy thats where you can guide him - it is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity. 5 weeks round Europe lots of people would kill for that!!!

9:47 am
Jacula

9:56 am

Jacula
Basil Fawlty, Haz?
10:07 am

My son used to call Chilli con Carne, 'Chilly Gone Barmy'.
10:08 am
M3

10:08 am
Jacula
He couldn't understand how something 'Chilly' was hot.
10:09 am
Jacula
FMitch - You do realise I'm going to have to work out the score for that now, don't you? *sighs*
10:09 am
FMitch

It's what the seven dwarves would say when asked what they do.
10:34 am
hurshy
lol, great clue haz
10:34 am
Haz1558
We aim to please.
10:35 am

haz - great - actually what one of the 7 would say, but hey - i got it.
10:35 am
Haz1558
I stand corrected.

this is quite gobsmacking - There's a housing complex in Hong Kong whose 100 windowless rooms are each ten feet square. TEN FEET. Photographer Michael Wolf painstakingly took a photograph in each one, showing its occupant and furniture. The result is a set of 100 thought-provoking photos. One look, and you'll never again complain about the size of your home: http://photomichaelwolf.com/100x100/ - have a look ....
10:42 am
Haz1558
It's a homonym of the dwarves' work place plus a couple of vowels
10:43 am
hurshy
ahhh does that come after eeny meeny then?
10:43 am
Haz1558
That's the one.
10:43 am

Morning, interesting chat. I remembr the first time we flew into Hong Kong (on our way to Western Australia) before the new airport was built and the plane flew past apartmant blocks on its descent--quite frighteningly close-- and we could see occupants thro' every window,several shapes in each tiny square----
10:46 am
Haz1558
Good morning hetty.
10:46 am
hetty
Hurshy, so far I have 4. Hmmm
10:47 am
Atalante
the same in some parts of Tokyo ... you see tiny houses and then realise that 3 families live in each one ...
10:47 am
hetty
Good morning Haz. I'm late today, having just seen off overnight guests. Didn't babble yesterday and m glad to be back
10:48 am

It's an interesting grid today so you should enjoy some of it!

Regarding overcrowding, I overheard two old gentlemen reminiscing about their younger days. One was from a family of 15, the other from a family of 18 - all in a two bedroom house. But they were both saying 'Ah those were good days!'
10:49 am

what's the ri8? did i get a clue from jac?
10:50 am

10:50 am
FMitch
Atalante - been looking at the site you mentioned and it si mind boggling. Gets even more so when you have looked at a number of the images and then randomly click on one like #93!
10:51 am
Golux13
ri8 = having to do with a ri5
10:51 am
Haz1558
ri8/55 adds three letters to the body of water to indicate its resemblance to said body of water
10:52 am
Golux13
not even a word, either. how embarrassing
10:53 am
FMitch
LOL Next time Golux make it a word we don't already have thanks!!!!
10:54 am
Atalante
its an amazing set of photos! really make you realise how much we take for granted, just in terms of living space and light and windows and everything! Some of the pics are quite staggering - especially #76 I think
10:55 am

Plural nerve gas
10:56 am

ah, i see, thanks haz
10:56 am
FMitch
OMG Ata - Hadn't seen that one - look at all those extra sockets on the left ahnd side!! socets
10:58 am
Atalante
its rather eye-opening!
11:00 am
FMitch
The overall thing though is that none of those spaces have windows. Of everything not to have a window I think would be the worst.
11:01 am
Atalante
yeah ... no fresh air, no light. horrid
11:02 am
Atalante
and our prisoners in maximum security prisons probably have more space and light than they do!
11:02 am
Haz1558
My husband would shoot himself, I think. He is such a fresh air fiend he nearly panics if there is no window to be opened. Anyway, I must depart in order to get some food for my family. Happy hunting everyone!
11:03 am
Atalante
bye haz!
11:04 am

Thanks, Haz, see you later

11:27 am
Atalante
and I'm getting very annoyed with none of them being accepted!!
11:27 am
Anniebrook
hiya boston, the many french words should bode well for you!
11:28 am
Anniebrook
oh no!
11:28 am

Me 6/21, pls?
11:28 am
bostonmermaid
I'd love to play Babble in other languages... though I suspect some languages would yield far fewer words
11:28 am

hey girls, can I do a little poll among you?... I'm curious as to how you work your way through the grid. Do you go from one tile to the next, or stay in one corner for a while? Top half, then bottom half? What works best for each of you?
11:33 am
Atalante
randomness!
11:33 am
FMitch
bostonmaild- you will find as many answers a grains of sand.
11:33 am
Uneaixoise
me too, boston . . . i do as many as i can, any size, any location . . . then go to the list . . .

11:34 am
FMitch
I type away as I see words and when that dries up look at the stats to see where words are coming from - after that I go to the list
11:34 am
Anniebrook
i usually start with the first letter on the top row and try to work my way down. as i am doing this, i start finding words all over the place and, yes, it become random as atalante said.
11:35 am
faeriekae
Thanks :)
11:35 am
Anniebrook
yay, faeriekae!!! how are you today?
11:35 am
faeriekae
me 8 is more of me4/5
11:36 am
FMitch
Everyone has a totally different way of working the grid.
11:36 am
bostonmermaid
ok, I'm with you, Annie... I try to work tile to tile, but I end up all over the place... and I guess it depends on how many words there are, and how much time you have to Babble...
11:36 am
Atalante
I just put words in as my eye catches them. very unorganised!
11:37 am
faeriekae
Annie I'm much better than I was yesterday even though the jerk exboss called me agian last night at 9:30 to tell me to bring him his printer manual and fax manual....which he had there in a file
11:37 am
bostonmermaid
what's the theme today?
11:37 am
faeriekae
Seashell
11:37 am
faeriekae
seashells is the theme
11:37 am
bostonmermaid
*feeling dumb* I don't know where you look to find out the theme...
11:37 am
SueMagee
I'm random to start with, then I work my way through each tile in turn, then it's Lickerty of blessed name and finally, the dreaded lists!
11:38 am
Anniebrook
if it is a small grid, wordwise, i will get the list and, of course, get words from clues in chat. Otherwise, like today, i go listless, watch for clues and i never finish without the list. but you guys are great!
11:38 am
faeriekae
Boston-it is in Angelsongs Resource page
11:38 am
bostonmermaid
seashells yay!! then my name fits the theme already
11:38 am

LOL it sure does :)
11:39 am
faeriekae
Boston you need my icon
11:39 am
Anniebrook
faeriekae, glad you are feeling better today, your boss is afraid of women, hence, the idiotic behavior. I hope you find another job when you leave this baboon.
11:40 am
faeriekae
Annie I'm sure I'll find another job I'm so glad that I found out what kind of jerk he is now rather than later

11:47 am

Ty, Golux!
11:48 am

ME TOO!!!!!!
11:48 am
Anniebrook
yes, it should take the plural form too
11:48 am
bostonmermaid
YAY!!!!
11:49 am
Golux13
yw... now i need the E in the lower right corner and one of the E's from the second column middle... anybody clue me?
11:49 am
Atalante
wouldn't it be because the plural would be me8 sauce*s* with the plural on the sauce?
11:49 am
Golux13
probably
11:49 am
Erda
it's an adjective
11:49 am
Anniebrook
sounds right, atalante
11:50 am
Anniebrook
to cause a sound to be heard
11:50 am
Golux13
OK, I got the lower right E
11:50 am

hello! can i ask what may be a really dumb question? this is my first time to the site, and i've been watching the chat window, but i don't understand the way the words are being discussed. for example, what would fr5/16 refer to? and how can i read/understand the "tile stats" area? thanks for your help! i like this game, but i think i'll like it better once i understand! :)
3:09 pm
Bugzy
My father in law had one, named Puppy Love. (Actually, his ex wife's.) They are cute, but this one was treated better than the children... Hence the name...
3:10 pm
ypsigirl
pemily - fr 5/6 means a word starts with fr and has 5 letters and is worth 16 points. 5 letter words are each letter's tile number added together times 2. 6 letter words are times 3, ect.
3:11 pm
parsec
The stats are how many words start with a letter, or how many words are that long, and the first number is how many of them you've already guessed.
3:11 pm

miranda-- a switcheroo. Our bichon (named Frosty, and with us for ten happy years) belonged to our son until Simon had to give him up because of moving and so asked us to have him even tho we alt=rday had a darling dachsie. (We have never been without a dog). Simon could then visit with him at will and we hd the fun of taking both for walks--Fosty used to leap over Clancy (the dachsie) who tried valiantly--and failed --to reciprocate
3:22 pm
libarebel
dachies can't leap.. :-D
3:23 pm

hi Fran! how are you?
6:55 pm

6:55 pm
FranMag

6:55 pm

7:35 pm
Jacula
Helen - you save your work/photos/whatever to either floppy disc or CD-R.
7:36 pm
Jacula

TO: S'MORE CUPCAKES
10 tablespoons butter
1¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 eggs
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line muffin tin with cupcake wrappers. Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan over low heat until smooth.
Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale yellow (about 3 minutes). Pour chocolate mixture into egg mixture and stir until combined.
Pour chocolate batter into prepared muffin tins until quite full (almost to the top of each tin). Bake for 14 minutes. Let cool.
Marshmallow Frosting
1½ cups sugar
2 egg whites
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish 12 graham cracker sticks
24 chocolate pocky sticks
Put sugar, egg whites, water, corn syrup and cream of tartar in a large metal bowl and beat with electric mixer until ingredients are just incorporated (about 15 seconds).
Place bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water), and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes. Increase speed to high and beat for an additional 3 minutes until mixture if very thick.
Remove bowl from simmering water. Add vanilla extract and continue beating for another 5 minutes.
Fill pastry bag filled with a large tip with marshmallow frosting. Pipe a generous amount of marshmallow onto each cupcake. Insert one graham cracker stick and two chocolate-covered Asian pocky sticks through the frosting and into the cupcake. (It works better to insert them before they're browned.)
Using a culinary torch, carefully brown the marshmallow quickly and evenly, being careful not to let it catch fire (the sugar burns easily!). This step can also be done under a broiler, but don't put the graham cracker sticks and pocky sticks in the cupcakes until they come out of the broiler.
Makes 12 cupcakes.

Okay - I'm using Lickety's list to check on what's missing. According to that list I have all the words. However, according to the Babstats I've got an r and a t word missing. One is a 6 and the other a 7. I need to check BJ's trusty list. I do hope it's there.
