ARB, what does shmeer mean? *grabs pen to add new word to list*

1:55 am

FranMag

yes mkl, our power was out until late afternoon and cable is still out, but that was the worst for us.

1:56 am

FranMag

it was closer to the big island so they got the worst of it.

1:56 am

metaleather

oh, one more garnish... well, two more... fresh dill, and tomato

1:56 am

mkl

Did you enjoy the quake, or did it freak you out? I've been in several, living in Alaska

1:56 am

FranMag

ml!! enough!

1:56 am

mkl

Ok.

1:57 am

ARB

It's Yiddish, fro old German. To schmeer is to spread -- like to spread butter on bread. The whole shmeer is an expression for everything. Also used as an expression for bribery or false compliments -- He shmeered him with money or He shmeered him with a lot of pretty words.

1:57 am

Atalante

am eating a chocolate and orange muffin. is that better, fran :P

1:57 am

FranMag

thanks ARB!

1:57 am

metaleather

:o) can I help it if I'm a frustrated gastronome living with a man who eats only hamburger meat in various forms with the occasional canned veggie

1:57 am

FranMag

mkl, that enough was for metaleather!

1:57 am

mrpresident

mkl!! LOL fran wasn't saying enough to you!!

1:58 am

mkl

Aha.

1:58 am

FranMag

mkl, i grew up in Guam, we had small tremors daily, so i'm used to them

1:58 am

FranMag

1:59 am

mkl

I'm only gonna ask for one clue tonight. Anyone get the ph7's?

1:59 am

Atalante

and now Hobbit's just eaten the muffin paper case *sigh*

1:59 am

mkl

Can't imagine an 8.1

Btw, I believe this is the 4th day in a row that we have russian royalty present.

It's the family argument with an extra vowel

2:42 am

FMitch

Take the family fight and add a vowel before the last letter

2:42 am

metaleather

fe5/20 use the argument, and add the second vowel

2:42 am

Haz1558

Which makes it look like a fiery french past tense

2:42 am

Haz1558

Calves are normally disbudded, but some farmers allow the ho4/5 to grow. The cattle cannot be sold or moved with ho4/5 so they have to be removed. It is a ghastly business!

10:50 am

Angelsong

stid, do you think the babblets page is useable?

10:50 am

tndaisy1960

that was probably it then.

10:50 am

floesy

thanks stid - now need some linament on strained neck

10:50 am

bunnyvicious

Angel, where is the link on the main page for the Babblets?

10:51 am

stidmama

I think it is useable, it looks a bit strange (the left bar creeps over the text a bit).

10:51 am

stidmama

ouchie, floesy, take good care! *sitting on warm pillow to ease own back pain*

10:51 am

Angelsong

bunny, it's in the drop down menu, top left corner of the main page.

10:51 am

floesy

ah, what we put up with to babble

10:52 am

floesy

any clues needed?

10:52 am

stidmama

I think you maybe dropped a tag somewhere, angelsong. Shouldn't be too hard to find when you have time, but I don't think it's urgent

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! i was wondering if anyone has seen movieman or boreetos?

10:52 am

stidmama

floesy, I am stuck on the de 6/24 right after the mosquito repellant

10:53 am

stidmama

I haven't seen boreetos in a very long time, TO --

10:53 am

evanonut

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

10:53 am

bunnyvicious

OK, found it, didn't even know that little thing was up there :)

10:54 am

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

i saw smithrecently

10:56 am

stidmama

yes. But my own schedule has varied over the last couple months so I just figured I was missing folks...

10:57 am

bunnyvicious

True, I've been catching Ren in the evenings instead of day. I guess we all can't be as equally obsessive about Babble.

10:57 am

stidmama

haven't seen bbnaz in ages...

10:58 am

bunnyvicious

Can someone push me in the direction of or 6/18?

10:59 am

Thank you stid

11:18 am

hurshy

11:18 am

hurshy

hmm, should i be concerned? my computer clock used to be the same as the babble clock, and now it is a minute behind

11:19 am

Atalante

this one certainly does! my friend's grandmother died and he refused to give her time off to go to the funeral!

11:19 am

stidmama

looks nice! Would sure make story installments easier if I weren't hard-coding them directly to the site...

11:19 am

hurshy

good grief, why?

11:19 am

caitlyn

Thats terrible Ata

11:20 am

Lara226

11:20 am

Atalante

11:20 am

stidmama

woo-hoo Lara! way to go!

11:20 am

Atalante

(she went anyway, of course!)

11:20 am

bunnyvicious

I don't think I'd wanna work for someone like that.

11:20 am

Lara226

Thanks

11:20 am

stidmama

Atalante, that's awful! don't they have laws over there for bereavement leave?

11:21 am

Atalante

yup! allowed 3 days off - *at boss's premission*

11:21 am

bunnyvicious

My water broke at work with my first child and they wanted to know if I could stick it our for another hour or two til he could find someone to come in.

11:22 am

Atalante

work's a wonderful place, isn't it?!

11:22 am

caitlyn

Oh bunny!!!Did you stay?

11:22 am

stidmama

what a stupid boss, bunny!

11:22 am

bunnyvicious

For some reason, I stuck it out for about another thirty, pain got to bad after that.

11:23 am

caitlyn

I hope your boss gave you some flowers after

11:23 am

Angelsong

Crimson Editor is a workhorse, Stid, and it's free. I use it constantly.

11:24 am

stidmama

well, I think I need to get some laundry started and all. Hope your friend will be okay with her job, Atalante. *hoping for boss to get mono and spend 12 weeks in bed* bunny, you are stronger than I was, I took off work 6 weeks before our first was born!

11:24 am

stidmama

thanks angelsong! I found the website, will explore it and download it as soon as I can!

11:24 am

bunnyvicious

I never went back, he wanted me to take one week for maternity on vacation pay, then come back. It was a restaraunt job, they're a dime a dozen. I did get a thank you though!

11:24 am

stidmama

later all!

11:24 am

Atalante

byeee!

11:24 am

bunnyvicious

Bye Stid

11:25 am

caitlyn

Bye stid

11:25 am

hurshy

i am irked.

11:25 am

bunnyvicious

Why?

11:25 am

caitlyn

Why hurshy?

11:26 am

hurshy

well i used to look and see if things had partially hydrogenated fats and not buy them. then they made them put a label about trans fat, and so i just look at that and buy if it says zero

11:26 am

hurshy

but apparently the FDA has not heard of fractions, because apparently zero is not really zero, it's just less than one.

11:26 am

bunnyvicious

Is less than 1% enough to hurt anything?

11:26 am

hurshy

so here i am munching away at gingersnaps which do in fact have trans fats in them. back to checking ingredients.

11:27 am

hurshy

if 4 gingersnaps have half a gram each, and i eat half a box, then it becomes enough.

11:27 am

shmoozanne

ep8 anyone?

11:28 am

bunnyvicious

My husband said that the they are making it illegal to put trans fats in restaraunt food in NY City, but he jerks my leg a lot so....

11:28 am

hurshy

and i have several products with the same situation, if i eat a bunch of them in a day...

11:28 am

bunnyvicious

Schmoo, if you have the ep 5/14 before it, add a word for consume

11:28 am

hurshy

well the more they crack down on trans fats the better. apparently the health effects are like with cigarettes - absolutely awful long term.

11:29 am

shmoozanne

ty bunny

11:29 am

oldhousejunky

ep8 - ep 5/14 + someone who already had dinner

11:29 am

Edonia

ep 5/14 + i just *** dinner

11:29 am

bunnyvicious

Really? I don't know much on the subject to be honest. Think I'll look into it more, cooking for 7. I thought it was really just a diet to lose weight issue.

11:30 am

majmom

need ep5/14

11:30 am

hurshy

yeah the deal is that they do all the bad things fats do, and none of the good things.

11:30 am

Edonia

ep+prostitute

11:31 am

majmom

nm found it

11:31 am

bunnyvicious

They aren't natural then? In processed foods only?

11:31 am

hurshy

right.

11:32 am

hurshy

cookies, crackers, those are big culprits.

11:32 am

abe79

i have a book called "trans fat solution" which is a good read, and has transfat free recipes

11:32 am

bunnyvicious

grr, I like crackers... I make most of my own desserts, never buy store bought, but I suppose some of the ingredients would have them as well.

11:33 am

hurshy

there are one or two types of crackers that have no trans fat. just check the label for the words "partially hydrogenated", don't believe the trans fat 0 part.

11:34 am

bunnyvicious

As an afterthought, if I lay off the crackers, my rear end may shrink some.

11:34 am

Edonia

how many a words?

11:34 am

hurshy

for ingredients, shortening and margarine should be looked out for.

11:34 am

bunnyvicious

99

11:34 am

caitlyn

4 a words

11:34 am

hurshy

butter, of course, being natural, has none, though it still has your saturated fat.

11:34 am

Edonia

thank you

That would have made me right, which happens rarely, lol.

TeaNCrackers

4:56 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Stid, snow has melted--temp in the 50's today (warmer outside than inside for people without power). My office was closed today. I will go in at 7:30 AM to scout out the situation and maybe see some kids in rooms with windows. The 1-2 wk old babies are the ones that shouldn't wait.

4:57 pm

Scrabbler

1246 points

4:57 pm

stidmama

I used to put ora-gel (teething gel) on the injection site before shots. Seemed to help...

stidmama

hi pida

4:58 pm

Natasha

hi everyone, how's it going?

4:59 pm

TeaNCrackers

Tea's name is Kemma - that was my hubby's grandmother's name. Kemma's godfather is a very strait laced gentleman and when we told him what we were naming Kemma when she found out she was girl, his first response was like the tea?

4:59 pm

stidmama

hi Natasha, I was so grateful for an easy grid today!

4:59 pm

Natasha

me too, the last few were brutal

4:59 pm

TeaNCrackers

We all paused and then he explained - Chammomile tea - get it, Kemma meal tea. The man never cracks jokes, so that was as good as they get from him. He gave me a box of Chammomile tea for my baby shower.

5:00 pm

stidmama

unusual and pretty name!

5:00 pm

Scrabbler

How old is Kemma now?

5:00 pm

TeaNCrackers

Cracker's name is Graham. Pretty self explanatory on that nickname, but it fit right in with Kemma's, so it stuck.

5:00 pm

TeaNCrackers

Kemma turned 3 in August, and Graham turned 1 in July.

5:01 pm

Natasha

wow--how do you have time to babble, sounds like a lot of energy in your house?

5:01 pm

stidmama

Perfect! Oh, what fun to have names like that.

5:01 pm

TeaNCrackers

Graham is named after my grandfather, and is the 12th child in that family to have that name in one form or another.

5:01 pm

Natasha

or maybe I'm just remembering when my twins were 3...

5:02 pm

TeaNCrackers

Tons of energy here, but usually I am at the computer when Graham is sleeping in my lap and Kemma is playing, or late at night, after they are in bed.

5:02 pm

Natasha

I guess you take the breaks when you can, huh?

5:03 pm

TeaNCrackers

Plus, hubby works nights, so he is up with us in the morning, and I try to get some computer time in then, too. They are both really good at playing together and if I have to get up to handle them, I will.

5:04 pm

Scrabbler

Sounds absolutely exhausting.

5:04 pm

Natasha

hope you didn't take that as a criticism, tea...just a bit of wonderment regarding the demands of young kids

5:07 pm

stidmama

I used to use the computer as my access point for adult interaction when my kids were little -- of course that was a decade ago and things have changed a bit online since then! Still, it was nice to have anything to do that wasn't bunny or car related.

5:08 pm

Natasha

lol, stid!

5:08 pm

Biltong

The pleasures of having them outweigh stress of pyjama parade, teething, earache etc.:)

5:09 pm

Natasha

Oh, I agree Bittong. My twins are 7 now and it is so fun to have conversations with them about everything they are learning.

5:09 pm

TeaNCrackers

not at all offended - just had to take a potty break - we are learning! and we're off to the doctor. if I didn't get time on the 'puter during the day I would go batty!
