Thank you very much, it means. "hartelijk" is literally "cordially"

Saint Nicolas's Day = 6th of December. The night before is Pakjesavond (night of the gifts). Hence the confusion.

*Black
1:46 am

He is the big help of Sinterklaas. In the old tradition, he walked the roofs and listened in on the chimneys. There he heard if you were naughty or nice, told it to Sint and Sint wrote it in his Big Book.

1:48 am

On Pakjesavond, Sint and his Black Peters deliver the gifts, or if you had been bad, you got a 'roe' (don't know the english word, it is a bunch of twigs that was used to spank your behind).
1:48 am
sprite

And if you were really really bad, you were put into the Sack of Sint, and you had to come with him to Spain, lol. Quite an incentive on being bad, I think!
1:49 am
jillibus

Great! In the English tradition you got a lump of coal in your stocking if you were naughty
1:49 am
sprite

Black Peters also throw sweets into groups of kids, and into the houses when they deliver gifts.
1:50 am
jillibus

Oh, let's be baaad and get to the Costa del Sol!
1:50 am
sprite

In the time just before Sinterklaas, kids get to 'set their shoes'. This is very much like the stocking tradition you have for Christmas.

YEAH! I always wanted to go to Spain, but wasn't brave enough to be bad enough as kid :)

Zie ginds komt de stoomboot,
uit Spanje weer aan.
Hij brengt ons Sint-Nikolaas,
ik zie hem al staan.
Hoe waaien de wimpels,
al heen en al weer.
Hoe huppelt zijn paardje,
het dek op en neer.
Zijn knecht staat te lachen,
en roept ons reeds toe:
“Wie braaf is krijgt lekkers,
wie stout is de roe.”

You can also add poems to the gifts, jilli - simple rhymes in which you can tease the recipient with his (bad) habits or funny things he did in the last year

lol BabbleRabble - one of the most famous Sinterklaas songs indeed!
1:58 am
BabbleRabble

See there arrives the steamboat,
From Spain again.
It brings us Saint Nicolas,
I see him standing there already.
Look how the flags,
Flutter back and forth.
Look how his little horse,
Hops up and down the deck.
His servant stands there, laughing
And he shouts at us:
“Who’s good, gets sweets,
Who’s bad, gets the whip.”

Used to be, BabbleRabble. But people pay less attention to fairytales nowadays, alas. Don't think a lot of schools or parents still tell the tales.

Good morning. Cyborg, you can give a definition, or break the word up into syllables, or give a cryptic clue. A rule of thumb is not to give away more than 2 letters.

I remember my father telling me a story of when he was a young lad being sent to work on a farm. He and some other lads thought the old man digging was incredibly slow. They started off at a great pace, but ended up exhausted after a while. The old man kept up his slow pace, but was still going at the end of the day. Dad learned the lesson, pace yourself!

Correct, just have to learn to live with it - hopefully in a way that will enable me to get old with it.

hello cybernan :)
11:30 am

yes -- I'm here because I need to work off my frustration -- I agree it may not be the best place!
11:30 am

Oh dear - why are you frustrated?
11:30 am
caitlyn

Bad day nan??
11:31 am
cybernan

Picked up my new drapes yesterday. Got hubby out of bed early to help hang them and they are not right. I was hoping to have them up before Christmas, but goodness only knows now!
11:31 am
72 Temple Owl

hi nan!
11:31 am
Karys

back in a bit
11:31 am
Haz1558

Why are they not right?
11:32 am
bunnyvicious

You still have over two weeks, plenty of time to replace them. Did they give you the wrong ones?
11:32 am
caitlyn

Thats very frustrating nan
11:32 am
bunnyvicious

Bye KAry's
11:32 am
caitlyn

Bye Karys
11:32 am
cybernan

There was supposed to be an even number of tabs across the top of the 2 centre panels -- there are 17 -- after I specifically requested an even number so that the drapes would be evenly distributed on either side of the supporting bracket.
11:33 am
Haz1558

And have they put uneven numbers on both sides?
11:34 am
bunnyvicious

Can you take em to a seamstrees? They are usually very cheap (around here), get it done quickly, and you won't have to wait on a re-order?
(Just a thought, I just but mine at Wally World and stick em on the hanger....)
11:34 am
DRBERNABO

you mistake is that it makes sense and therefore it is beyond their ability to understand
11:35 am
jan

Isn't regatti the plural for an Italian boat parade?
11:36 am
caitlyn

LOL jan
11:36 am
cybernan

the outside panels don't really matter but the two centre ones do as they gather between two windows when they are open -- it's hard to explain -- three windows, floor to ceiling, with two feet of wall between each and the brackets centred on the two feet of wall, so there has to be an even number of tabs on each half of the panel instead of a centre tab on the panel.
11:36 am
Merk

sp 5, 14 please
11:36 am
DRBERNABO

no, regatta is also the plural; it refers to a race or series of races
11:36 am
FMitch

Have they said how long it might take to get them redone c-nan?
11:37 am
caitlyn

Merk add a vowel to sp4
11:37 am
Haz1558

I would explain your frustration to the people who made them and request that the tabs be redistributed. Hopefully it can be done quickly and they will want to have a happy rather than an unhappy customer.
11:37 am
DRBERNABO

back track the last verb for the things on the sp*** rack in your kitchen
11:38 am

I hope you are right, Haz -- will phone when they open

7:56 pm

cape.... do you need the qu that sounds similar to a derogatory term for gay?
7:56 pm
metaleather

or the plural of the dock qu?
7:57 pm
puptone

of the plural of qu4?
7:57 pm
metaleather

or the qu that is semi/almost/pseudo?
7:57 pm
puptone

That's all four - must be one of them!
7:58 pm

8:55 pm
Aloyisius

miranda, have you tried the pl of that thingie on your head?
8:56 pm
Jacula

Betty - sp6/24 (1st) is the Latin ending for the sp5/14 before it. 2nd sp6/24 is the normal plural fo it.
8:56 pm
mirandapan

NOOOO------geez--thanks aloyisius--you can't imagine how long I've been looking!!
8:57 pm
Aloyisius

been there, done that.. congrats to you miranda!!!

Thanks Jacula. Appreciate it.

GreyWoulf

There's a reason why the number one selling item at the Babble store is the T-shirt that says - "when in doubt, pluralise EVERYthing" -- ;-D
8:59 pm
Jacula

miranda - it's quite a bendy word to find, andd, even though I had the word, it took me 4 goes with the mouse pointer to work it out on grid again. So, don't feel bad about it.
9:00 pm
GreyWoulf

And a grand good evening to one and all on this chilly night :-)

eal meaning of ne7/36, should anyone wish to Google it is: Of or relating to the mesomorphic phase of a liquid crystal in which the molecules are oriented in loose parallel lines.
9:02 pm
Duff

Hi GreyWoulf -- Just dropping in for a minute. Wouldn't you know it -- the day I don't have time to babble and there are 211 words!!!

9:05 pm
GreyWoulf

The family are doing well, I am over my sinus infection, Kirsten is almost over her cold, the kids are doing fine
9:06 pm
Jacula

Oh, Wolfie,. what you just said about achieving minigoals p[ut me in mind of 2 conversations I had with old friends' wives earlier... you would not credit that I had 2 such similar conversations in one day. Let me put it in a nutshelll - hubby has bone cancer, it has now migrated, it would be easier to say where he's not got it than where he has. He is dying.
9:06 pm
Jacula

Sorry about the downer there. Just relating my day.

You are getting too good at that -- I am supposed to be the sneaky one! :-D

hello Aloyisius!
9:08 pm
Aloyisius

yvw, BettyAnne
9:08 pm
Jacula

Glad to hear you are all doing well.
9:08 pm
stidmama

*grin* just glad to see you -- in real life I have been sitting on either ice or a heating pad all day and moving very very slowly...
9:09 pm
GreyWoulf

oh no, stid -- what happened?
9:09 pm
stidmama

Jacula -- I was confused about who the comment was about, but sorry to hear someone's husband is terminal.
9:10 pm
stidmama

I think it's stress about the kids, but it could also be I just slept wrong and aggravated the chronic back problems.
9:10 pm
Duff

Jacula -- I am also very sorry to hear about your sad news.
9:10 pm
Jacula

When I was at school in the UK in the 60s, sc5/16 was a cry heard from a pack of boys about to beat some poor wimpy lad up. 'Let's sc*** him, lads!'
9:10 pm
stidmama

and yes Duff -- I finished earlier while I was just sitting around... LOL need clues?
9:11 pm
Jacula

stid - 2 friiends hubbies are terminal.

9:11 pm
stidmama

oh man. that stinks, Jacula. {{hug}}
9:11 pm
Rlee

9 more to go
9:11 pm
Duff

If I had time -- I would ask for clues. I'm afraid I'm just here for a few more minutes. I think I am learning my lesson. If one is at all concerned about the "rankings" -- isn't it better to not start a puzzle if you know you can't spend much time and attention to it that day?
9:12 pm
GreyWoulf

you have my complete empathy, stid -- you gave me flashbacks to september when my back went out -- why the stress about the kids?
9:12 pm
Jacula

stid - so does your bad back. 'Gentle hug'.
9:12 pm
stidmama

yes, that is true. unless your goal is to get onto the "Village Elders" list -- where it's total points that count, not averages!
9:12 pm
stidmama

thanks Jacula
9:12 pm
GreyWoulf

Yes, Duff -- if you wish to preserve your ranking, then you should only start if you can finish -- an incomplete puzzle is worse than an absent one
9:13 pm
stidmama

Let's just say they are BOTH now exhibiting signs of adolescence... and both very much on restriction as of yesterday.
9:13 pm
Aloyisius

stid.. so sorry about your back; have you tried one of those back massagers? Just ordered one as a Christmas gift.
9:13 pm
GreyWoulf

brb -- Kristianna is crying because she can't fall asleep and I don't want her to make herself sick
9:13 pm
BettyAnne

I need three more and hope you don't mind. I need the ra5/10 and the two ti6/21s please and then I'll be finished.
9:13 pm
GreyWoulf

and gotcha, stid
9:13 pm
stidmama

Yes, Aloyisius, I actually have one that's about ten years old. The newer ones are very tempting... :-)
9:14 pm
stidmama

ra 5/10 is plural the 4/4 before
9:14 pm
Duff

Stid -- I just like to play against myself. Regarding your back -- I have gotten so that every night I lay on a heating pad. After doing it for about a week, I decided that it helps.
9:14 pm
stidmama

BettyAnne, the ti 6s were my last. The little bird bushti* + male person; same with plural male

9:15 pm

ra 5.10 = a babblet I usually miss seeing. It is ra + three toed sloth reversed and pl..
9:15 pm
Aloyisius

Jacula... Life is definitely NOT fair. No way.
9:15 pm
BettyAnne

Thanks stidmama and everyone else for your kind assistance. I love playing this game because you are all so very nice. Goodnite!
9:16 pm
Aloyisius

Bye, BettyAnne.. see you next time.
9:16 pm
stidmama

Thanks Duff -- yes, after nearly twenty years, I find that heating pads help the pain the most -- cold helps functionality -- stretching gently helps always!
9:16 pm
stidmama

yw bettyanne, see you next time.

and YAY!
9:17 pm
stidmama

I agree life isn't fair. But it's always interesting... and sometimes it's a lot of fun.
9:18 pm
Jacula

Stid - exactly waht both mean's wivves said to me today.
9:18 pm
Aloyisius

yes indeed stid... we MUST find joy !!
9:18 pm
Jacula

Both men's wives, I meant.
9:18 pm
Jacula

Sorry, I am tired and a bit upset.
9:19 pm
Jacula

I've been told I should drink a bottle of wine each night.
9:19 pm
Duff

Also, Stid, we have to remember that our climate is no friend to our aches and pains. You are right that stretching is very helpful.
9:19 pm
stidmama

yes. it's okay to be upset, Jacula -- {{hugs again}} -- even okay to be p'd!
9:19 pm
Jacula

I on't think I should. 3 nights a week is sufficient for me, at present.
9:19 pm
stidmama

a whole bottle, Jacula? *from a person who drinks less than 6 bottles a year...*
9:20 pm
Jacula

stid - I'm not p*ssed, though. LOL.
9:20 pm
stidmama

maybe the word means different things over there? over here it means really really angry...
9:21 pm
Jacula

A bottle here in UK, Stid is a mere 70cl.
9:21 pm
Minski

Jac ~ I'm so sorry about your friends. I am upset because of another failed IVF. You have reminded me how lucky I am to have what I have. Thank you.
9:21 pm
Jacula

p*ssed here in UK means... drunk.
9:21 pm
stidmama

oh Minski -- {{{so sorry}}}
9:21 pm
Jacula

Minkski - oh luv! (((XXX)))
9:22 pm
stidmama

ah. well then, don't get p'd Jacula, just be sad and mad and whatever you need to be right now.
9:23 pm
Jacula

Incidentally, stid, p*ssed off means 'annoyed' here inn UK.
9:23 pm
Minski

Just be however you need to be and give your friends as much love as you can while you can.
9:23 pm
Minski

Good night all.
9:24 pm
stidmama

good night Minski.
9:24 pm
Aloyisius

good night, Minski... wishing you better times!
9:24 pm
Jacula

I think my daughter (19) may have got the meaning for just the word p*ssed though. The 'phone culture keeps on paring down our wonderful language.
9:24 pm
Duff

It used to be that you couldn't say "p*ssed" on t.v. Now you hear it all of the time.
9:25 pm
stidmama

okay, I am going to head out too -- the boys are set up to play a game. good night all!
9:25 pm
Duff

Good night, Stidmama.

Mind you, my lovely daughter is, when she's been driving or coming up against officialdom, especially politically correct officialdom, the original Angry Young Woman. She can spell then! Oh, bless her!
9:26 pm

Aloyisius

I'm gone too.. long day today. TGIF !!! See you again in Babbleland; Happy Babbling and ci** for now.
9:29 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - take heart! Your darling little daughter, if you train her right, WILL come up loving 'the right kind of music', 'the right kind of values or life' and she may even be able to spell!
9:31 pm
Jacula

I say this with a sigh of relief as I realise that, despite all the... well, you regularars on here no what... she's... what is she? A human being. A humand being not so far from myself...
9:31 pm
GreyWoulf

right now, all I want is for her to go to bed just ONE night without these shenanigans --- it is very frustrating and drains what little energy I have remaining at the end of the day
9:31 pm
Duff

How old is she, GreyWoulf?
9:32 pm
Babs1

9:32 pm

9:33 pm
Jacula

Aw, Wolfie! My daughter never did that to me, though she buggered my middle lif up! However, my son did that all the time to me. Cn you read her another story? If that fails, do what I used to do.. start singing.
9:33 pm
GreyWoulf

She is three, duff -- and she has already had 3 stories, and a drink of water, and a piece of candied ginger to 'settle her tummy' and I put lotion on her dry ankles and socks on her cold feet..... she just likes pushing the limits
9:34 pm
Babs1

some day, you'll be yearning for those days when she wanted your attention at night...it all goes so fast!
9:34 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac -- she is a very headstrong little girl -- if I try to do something she doesn't want me to do during her bedtime routine she starts screaming
9:35 pm
Sherylr1961

ta da fireworks for me
9:35 pm
GreyWoulf

.... too true, Babs, but it is sooooo hard to remember as she is behaving in such a contrary manner
9:35 pm

Wolfie - if you can't bore her to sleep by eventually singing full versions of 'Oh Danny Boy', 'Jerusalem' and 'On Ilkley Moor Bah'tat' then take her out running around the block.
9:36 pm

9:36 pm
Duff

Boy, I wish you were here to put me to bed!!!! My grandaughter is 3. Her mother hates me for doing this -- but when my grandaugher stays here and has a hard time going to sleep -- I take her blankie and put it in the clothes dryer so it's warm and cozy. She likes that -- but as I mentioned before, my daughter thinks I spoil her.
9:36 pm

Wrap up warm both of you, and then go. You will be wheezing befopre she is. But she may be bored... there's a big moon out there, if the sky's not cloudy... make a story from that...xxx
9:37 pm
Babs1

making up a story with a girl like her in it is fun for them...or helping them imagine they're floating on a cloud and have them tell you what they see
9:37 pm
GreyWoulf

Duff, but that's your job! And unfortunately, I can't do the dryer trick as the apartment dryer costs money

The new product theme I went for the other day was a bread maker. I've always been cr*p at working dough. I can cook just about anything else anyone could ask for, but yeast based things, no.
9:44 pm
Jacula

I don't much like what my bread maker produces, think it is no less heavy than my own efforts.
9:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, 6 letters, starts with a C. Hey, it won't take that airline luggage word! LOL

However, rest of family seem o find breads from there okay.

Good for you . metal. Every other recipe in the worldd - giv me a go at it, and I'll either do it or do a better version of it for the tastes of me and mine.
9:47 pm
GreyWoulf

I agree, I think it is because most bread makers don't have the ability to properly allow the dough to rise the several times it needs to in order to be lighter
9:47 pm
Jacula

Franmag - thank you! You find it 'chewy' too!
9:48 pm
FranMag

i don't have a bread maker, but one of my husbands customers gave him a loaf that she made and it was very dense. tasted fine, but i like a larger crumb myself.

Relationship advice for writers: If your chap is also a writer- FORGET IT! \hE will HAVE affairs because he writing and family times and 'we two' times won't coincide with yours. If YOU are the writer, take care again... you may find many men who see your talent and want the money coming in... thing is, they don't realise how many hours you m,ay need to be absent or ignoring to do that.

Why do people ask how many total points?
11:39 pm
FranMag

under the word list volley
11:39 pm
VolleymomDee

got it ty
11:39 pm
FranMag

angb, if you're not pro you don't have stats so you don't know how many words total
11:40 pm
FranMag

and you don't get fireworks when you finish
11:40 pm
Angb

Ahhh....
11:40 pm
FranMag

so people ask how many points to check if they are finished.
11:40 pm
FranMag

or to check what they might be missing
11:40 pm
Angb

Would be awful to be finished and not know - bad for the nerves

11:44 pm

is there a trail period? because I see the total words and points and have gotten fireworks a couple of times???
