But even when you do, someone steals it, and you're forced to pay lawyers a fortune to sue for infringement, and then there's no guarantee you'll get what you really lost by the nogoodnik swiping your idea...

'santen' - made from cocos? Not used in english?

3:41 am

lynxxx

not heard of that Sprite

3:43 am

sprite

I googled, only gives dutch sites with recipes :)
Has to be dutch then.

3:43 am

lynxxx

what is it Sprite?

3:44 am

sprite

the dried creamlike cocos milk.

3:44 am

rolin

lynxxx.you know what i cant get here?...(seeing sprites word made me think of it)....copha

3:45 am

lynxxx

Thats what I am thinking too Rolin. Can it be melted Sprite?

3:46 am

rolin

no its not what sprite was thinking of...cphoa is vegetable fats

3:46 am

rolin

i just cant get the equivalent here....so many sweets i cant make

3:46 am

sprite

Yes, it can be melted and used in curries etc.
I am thinking, the word might come from Indonesia. We have many words from there, because lots of people from Indonesia live here.

3:46 am

lynxxx

Rolin - I think copha is made from cocnuts - not vegetables

3:47 am

rolin

so it is...just googled it...

3:48 am

sprite

Coconut cream concentrate, is probably what you call it

3:48 am

lynxxx

Rolin - maybe look for Sprites Santen - just might be the same thing

3:48 am

rolin

but its not a milk like sprite is saying...it wouldnt solidify...

3:48 am

sprite

santen is solid, you have to dissolve it to use it.

I really messed up spelling that last word, didn't I!

3:53 am

Eva

hmmmm...oh, I see, I didn't have the plural! Thanks

3:54 am

sprite

rolin, this is what wikipedia says: In New Zealand, it is marketed as Kremelta. In the United States, it is not easily available. (Copha, that is)

3:54 am

Eva

never heard of it here and I do a lot of cooking and buying of weird ingredients

3:54 am

rolin

yup... i found a similar entry somewhere else...its fabulous stuff...and i should have brought it back with me last summer...but im habing my son put together a care package...with some included..sad i know..

3:55 am

Eva

so what exactly is it?

3:55 am

rolin

eva...its great...what do you use to make rice krispies solidify?

3:56 am

rolin

eva...it comes in a white opaque block..it melts at low temp and resolidifies really easily

3:56 am

sprite

rolin, here I read: "You can get copha from the Australian gift shop in Covent Garden, London"

3:56 am

Eva

haven't ever made them, but I think it's the cereal plus marshmallow fluff and maybe karo syrup? Someone else would know better

3:56 am

rolin

yes... i have been known to slobber over the screnn at their web site..lol

3:56 am

Eva

it's made of coconut?

3:57 am

rolin

coconut oil

3:57 am

sprite

it is made of the oil of coconuts. It is not the same as 'santen' or coconut cream.

sprite

I just read it is easily available in Australia, Andree, but not in the US and not in England. Not sure about Holland, still looking.

4:10 am

Kateq

Hurrah for Google: Copha is vegetable shortening made of solidified coconut oil. The product is used in cookies and other desserts. While infrequently used in the US it is quite popular in Australia.

CyborgScrabbler

have a look at lickety's clues, We did

4:47 am

BabbleRabble

9 is correct

4:47 am

lynxxx

Yes and I usually do, but with only 3 left I thought some-one wouldn't mind helping e out Cyborg

4:47 am

sprite

9 in total, lynxxx

4:47 am

sprite

don't mind at all, lynxxx, just call

4:47 am

lynxxx

Thankyou BabbleR & Sprite

4:48 am

CyborgScrabbler

But if your not looking then I should not let you know what I saw either

4:48 am

Andree

thx cyborg and sprite, a fish for that one, lol

4:48 am

sprite

we all babble in our own way, Cyborg.

4:48 am

BabbleRabble

Don't then... play your games as you see fit

4:49 am

Andree

if I only had 3 left i would not get list either lynxxx

4:49 am

sprite

nor me :)

4:50 am

CyborgScrabbler

it does not seem right to ask someone else what they saw in the clues and then carry on as if you had not looked at them

4:50 am

Andree

13 left here

4:50 am

CyborgScrabbler

at the end of the game, it makes no difference anyhow, as long as you got the right words

4:50 am

sprite

sorry you feel that way, Cyborg, I certainly don't mind

4:50 am

kittychan

I don't understand what difference it makes? Is it just a matter of pride or does it go to score or something else tangible?

4:50 am

Andree

thats like saying we should not look at clues in chat cyborg

4:51 am

BabbleRabble

and you are entitled to your opinion... but that is what it is ... one person's opinion

4:51 am

Andree

it is only a game!

4:52 am

CyborgScrabbler

Exactly kitty

4:52 am

sprite

nope it doesn't, kitty, we usually help each other out, especially when one of us has finished. There is a difference between looking at a list and asking for one specific total of letters, but hey, it is a game. We play as we like and help as we like - no obligations.

4:52 am

Andree

due to time restraints i would never get more than 1/2 way without resorting to list

4:53 am

Andree

but i love getting as far as i can without list

4:53 am

CyborgScrabbler

If you ask something in chat which you can find out for yourself, then you should find it out for yourself

4:53 am

sprite

I usually play without lists, but I gratefully use the clues in the log and I ask for some as well. Most of all, I think we should not tell others how to play.

4:53 am

BabbleRabble

That is YOUR opinion

4:54 am

CyborgScrabbler

Yes it is my opinion

4:54 am

BabbleRabble

and NOTHING more

4:54 am

Andree

but that applies to words to, we could all go to mre words and stop chat, perish that thought

4:54 am

ch1212

Babble is a metaphor for life in many ways. Some people prefer to 'go it alone' and others prefer to lean on each other for support. Some do both. All are good.

4:54 am

sprite

which I don't share, Cyborg. So lynxxx, feel free to ask, and Cyborg, feel free to ignore both question and answer.

4:55 am

CyborgScrabbler

I think it is rude and lazy to ask something you can find out yourself, clues for words are fine because the player just cannot see the word

4:56 am

sprite

Yes Cyborg, you made your point, thanks. I have never found lynxx to be rude or lazy.

4:56 am

BabbleRabble

We know what you think. You simply belabor for your own reasons

4:56 am

Andree

i don't think there is any reason to call anyone rude or lazy

4:56 am

lynxxx

That's taking it a bit far now Cyborg - you just called me rude and lazy. You have my permission to tally ignore anything I might ask in future., Thankyou

4:57 am

Andree

way to go lynxxx

4:57 am

sprite

right with you there, lynxxx

4:58 am

Andree

ask away lynxxx

4:58 am

BabbleRabble

Good for you lynxx

4:58 am

CyborgScrabbler

Lyn, I do not just mean you I am referring to ALL those who do it, like movieman, he asked for 15 clues the other day for something or the other because me would not look at the list

4:58 am

sprite

so... any help needed on those last 2 words. lynxxx? :D

4:58 am

ch1212

is the in9 related to the in8?

4:58 am

lynxxx

I'm actually fine to find my last 3 - Sprite narrowed it down enough for me

4:59 am

sprite

you can always ignore the chat, Cyborg. I wouldn't mind.

4:59 am

sprite

it's the plural, ch

4:59 am

Yvo

Cyborg dont read the chat,to me it has been and will be a big help with all the clues given

4:59 am

ch1212

Wow, I would not have guessed that -- thanks, sprite.

5:00 am

sprite

was clued to me as well, ch1212 :)

5:00 am

CyborgScrabbler

clues are fine and good, but not asking how many 8's there are and listing all the ones you have in the chat log

5:01 am

sprite

You are repeating yourself, Cyborg. I am going to ignore your posts about the same thing now, I don't feel you are contributing anything worthwile right now.

5:01 am

ch1212

cyborg, you sound as if you want everyone to play the game according to your rules, instead of you allowing for the differences among us. Please, have patience with us.

5:01 am

CyborgScrabbler

whatever

5:02 am

mom23

Sigh, Cy--just play the *!)#$% game your own way--ignore the log and let the rest of us play ours

5:02 am

BabbleRabble

Cyborg, in the end, how does this effect you? Each of us plays for out own reasons. This is not a competition for me. There are no rules; just curtesy and getting along. Trying to force your views on others is quite arrogant.

5:03 am

sprite

hear hear, I second that.

5:03 am

Yvo

i third it

5:03 am

CyborgScrabbler

I am not forcing my views, just stating them, you have the power of decision

5:04 am

mom23

Good grief--now we have power! Who knew?!

5:04 am

Andree

babble power,lol

5:05 am

mom23

If I had "real" power, I'd finish this grid on my own every day (not just the one time ever)--w/o any clues. Yeah, like that's gonna happen!

5:06 am

sprite

stating and restating and restating - what was the def of forcing again?

5:06 am

Yvo

cyborg you have once berated me and told me to look it up myself , dont adress me anymore ,i dont like your complaines ,just play and contibute something worthwhile.

5:06 am

ch1212

cyborg, follow the link to Babbler's Anonymous - there are a number of postings regarding the issue of list versus no list, and clue asking and so on. You might find some of that feedback helpful; there is even one other babbler like you who wants everyone to play the game "her way".

5:06 am

sprite

hey mom, I still think every word you find is just great, it is for me still. All the rest is teamwork :)

5:07 am

ch1212

lol sprite -- are you referring to the adage of what is it called when you keep hitting your head against a brick wall and expecting different results?

5:07 am

CyborgScrabbler

I am not telling anyone how to play the game, I am saying I find it rude to ask something you can find out for yourself by looking at the list

5:08 am

sprite

lol ch, yes, that is very close to what I mean

5:08 am

Yvo

drop it,your spoiling my Sunday

5:08 am

ignore mode, guys :)

sugar

I loved the snow on Thursday, ron - did you get it too?

5:11 am

CyborgScrabbler

Yes, this is a chat log, and you say everyone can give an opinion, but when it does not agree with what you think, you start saying ignore mode guys, what a sad narrowminded state of affairs

5:12 am

Andree

some welcome rain here today

5:12 am

sprite

ignore mode is not for opinions, it is for repeating same opinions again and again and again and again.

I'm sure Cal could figure it out and if not someone here would walk you through it. I think Atalante helped me with Merp. She did some magic with my emailing her the photo, which she put on her web site and then I could use it. But I only had that problem because of the Mac.

There was magician on a cruise ship, and he was really good.

He was performing the highlight of his show when a parrot walked onstage and squawked, ''It's in his sleeve!''

The magician chased the bird away.

The next day the magician was performing his highlight again (in front of a smaller audience) when the parrot walked onstage and declared, ''It's in his pocket!''

The next day, as he was performing the highlight, he saw the parrot in the crowd. But before the parrot could ruin the magic trick, the boat crashed into a rock and sank.

The magician was lucky enough to find a board to hang on to. On the other end of the board was the parrot.

They stared at each other for three full days, neither of them saying anything, when suddenly the parrot said, ''I give up, what'd you do with the ship?''

pa 8,45 clue plz

11:13 am

periwinkle

HI everyone, I agree with Scrabbler, Babble Rabble and Haz are the best clue givers!

11:13 am

BabbleRabble

pa 8/45 is the holder of the pa 6/21

11:13 am

Scrabbler

Yes, my head is still in the woods. It was glorious--trees creaking, birds chirping, and otherwise total silence. Until I wiped out and caused a minor earthquake.

11:13 am

Ishbalin

11:14 am

Scarlet

LOL, Scrab. I went outside last night to look at the sky for 20 minutes... so crystalline, so bright with the constellations... a moment of prayer in appreciation.

11:14 am

Ishbalin

hi haz i can't seem to get the extension of pa 6/21

11:15 am

Scrabbler

I love doing that too, Scarlet--a reminder of how insignificant we really are--just a blip in the history of the universe. It makes my problems seem trivial, and makes me grateful.

11:15 am

evanonut

strange isn't it scarlet, the colder it is, the cleaner the air seems

11:15 am

Scarlet

Amen.

11:16 am

BabbleRabble

the pa 8/50 is the past tense to indicate the recording of the pa 6

Yes, evan... it was brutally cold last night, but the air invigorated my appreciation even more...

i just love it when you put in a word, thinking it isn't really a word..then , it ...whal la!! it is!! lol

1:17 pm

Haz1558

Ishbalin - first the pa6/21 - a type of leather, intellectual property rights - form it by adding a canvas structure to pa. The sort of canvas structure you go camping in.

1:17 pm

momof3boys

like...the sn word...

1:18 pm

Haz1558

Then make it past tense for pa8/50. For pa8/45 - take off the last letter and replace it with the next letter along in the alphabet. You will thus have a word ending in two vowels.

1:19 pm

BabbleRabble

Congratulations, dan2bit

1:19 pm

Haz1558

pa6/24 - the past tense of what you do when you stroke or caress a companion animal. Or add the shortened form of Ireland's patron saint with the Priest from the TV series - Father ***

1:20 pm

Haz1558

Then , for the pa6/21 after that, make it the companion animal receiving the strokes. Do it in the same way as with the pa8 words. Take off the last letter and replace it with the next letter in the alphabet. Result - Ireland's shortened saint combined with a golfing term

1:21 pm

smooth_pappa

thanks for those haz

peri, I've recently been in a curry craze, and have found out some interesting things... the term curry actually just means "stew" the british used it to try and describe the flavors found in indian foods. In India, there is no such thing as "curry powder" or "curry spice" but all different blends of cardamom, cumin, pepper, cilantro, coriander, and other spices... they will vary greatly depending on the region you are in too... neat huh?
