1:50 am
sprite

I don't mind, Jellen :)
1:50 am
Jellen

You are part of the reason I stay, sprite!
1:51 am

1:54 am
FranMag

jellen, every good plan has room for change. let's just say you had to rethink your departure time.
1:55 am
Jellen

So I could meet my Babble goals---yeah!
1:55 am
sprite

the problem with Jellen is, that for me every time she leaves is too early.
1:55 am
FranMag

true sprite.
1:56 am
Jellen

Awww! You all are too sweet!

Bye, lynxxx!
1:58 am
FranMag

this is my favorite time to babble...the log isn't moving at 100 mph, not too many people asking for clues and i find more words without the list.
1:58 am
sprite

I have to admit, being able to feel smarter than a dictionary really brightens my mornings :)
1:58 am

1:59 am

my son says he wants to be a cook when he grows up! And he now wants to cook dinner... he did yesterday (I told him what to do, but did nothing myself) and it was delicious! Now my daughter wants to cook today... you think this will last? ;)
2:04 am
Jellen

One can hope, sprite!
2:04 am
FranMag

if he really enjoys it, it might be a lasting thing...cross your fingers.
2:04 am

Hope for you it will Sprite
2:05 am
sprite

my son is 11, daughter is 9. And I have to admit, my son has been talking about wanting to be a cook for some time.
2:06 am
herinfernallady

It took someone in the government 15 minutes to decide that my mental health is fine enough not to work for another 6months (note nearly 3 years of not working) and still they cant help me
2:06 am
FranMag

i think it could last then, they're at the right age
2:06 am
sprite

it is so funny, my son demanded yesterday that we let him cook at least once a week. We said no, because we want it to remain fun and not become a chore. He was so pissed :)
2:06 am
FranMag

i was cooking family meals at your son's age.
2:06 am
sprite

*hugs lady* That s*cks, darling.
2:07 am

2:08 am

2:08 am

2:09 am
herinfernallady

I told a friends kid that cooking was the best as you can play with the food and no one gets mad
2:09 am
FranMag

that's probably what it is for me too sprite, because i used to love doing dinner parties with my friends when i was single.
2:10 am
sprite

I still like cooking special meals, but that every day returning chore of thinking up something, shopping for it, making it... argh :(
2:11 am

An ex used to enjoy cooking and what he produced was great but .. he would insist on using every pot, pan and bowl in the kitchen.
2:16 am
FranMag

darn, i tried it too, just because it sounds like it should be a word.
2:16 am
FranMag

and let me guess...he wasn't good at cleaning up after?
2:16 am
FMitch

you guessed it!
2:16 am
sprite

it IS a word. Just not english, lol.
Fmitch, I think that is a man's thing. That and leaving all wrappings and peels etc on the sink.
2:17 am
FranMag

urgh! do you know my husband sprite?
2:18 am
sprite

grin... I don't have the honour, Fran, but if he is anything like mine, the kitchen is a mess when dinner is ready. And we love them.

2:20 am

3:30 am

I soooo want to hear you read your favorite children's story about the kangaroo. Please make a cast of it with mrP? *puppy eyes and on knees, begging*
3:30 am

lynxxx, you are always included.
3:30 am
jillibus

oh yes, lynxxx!
3:30 am
jillibus

sprite, I don't know how without a microphone!
3:31 am
sprite

no, you would need a he4set for that. Either mrP or me would be happy to send you one!
3:32 am
jillibus

Oh! I have a headset!
3:32 am
jillibus

oops -- h4set
3:33 am
sprite

that's all you need! It has a mike in it and that is good enough. With skype it is just like telephoning, for the rest. Would you please please consider it? We'd love to hear you!
3:34 am
jillibus

I didn't realise it was a skype thing. I'll have to learn how to do that -- but not now!!!!! - lol
3:35 am
sprite

it is totally easy, jilli, really. If you want, mrP can take you through the steps one by one. Skype is nothing more than a kind of telephone program for computers. You can talk to the whole world for free, or at least for only the cost of your computer connection :)
3:35 am
jillibus

hey! I found an X word!
3:36 am

yay jilli! You will find the other one too th4, it is similar.

3:41 am

Clues for those x's please jilli?
3:45 am

xe5/20 -- xe + "that ma
***c was cutting me off"
3:45 am

add a cons for the 6
3:45 am

I mean ma***c
3:45 am
movieman

ty jilli
3:46 am
lynxxx

TY too
3:46 am
sprite

if you do not want to admit certain things to yourself, you are in de****, movie my man. Change the first letter for the 6. Drop last letter for the 5.
3:46 am
jillibus

yw :)
3:46 am
sprite

but I guess you already got them from jilli's clue, lol.
3:47 am
lynxxx

time for list ... drawing total blank on the last 50
3:48 am
sprite

I had to monkey an F4, lynxxx... if you slip, you F***. Change last consonant in the last of your nick.
3:48 am
sprite

which of course is a structure shaped like a sickle, as a fold of dura mater separating the cerebral hemispheres. We knew that.
3:49 am
jillibus

ta, sprite :D
3:49 am
sprite

yw! Thought maybe others might have trouble with that one as well, grin.
3:50 am
jillibus

got those Ys too
3:50 am
lynxxx

of course we did! how could I have forgotten that! TY Sprite
3:50 am
sprite

great jilli, another grayed-out tile th4 :)
3:50 am
sprite

yw lynxxx!
3:51 am
jillibus

but that bottom A is giving me trouble
3:51 am
sprite

I submit that F4/12 is not a word, but an enablism.
3:51 am
sprite

jilli: a very long time?
3:52 am
jillibus

ha-- not any more!
3:52 am
sprite

good for you!
3:52 am
jillibus

the long time comes from a different A
3:53 am
jillibus

this one is a nothing
3:54 am
sprite

oh, you are right. Got all As, but seeing from which tile they come is not always easy, lol.
3:54 am
sprite

there is a plural nothing too, according to enable.
3:54 am
movieman

Clues for the 8s plz?
3:55 am
jillibus

yeah, got that too -- but no 8s yet and only 2 7s
3:56 am
sprite

de8: D + former husband + chemical word for 3 + first 2 letters of the following.
3:57 am
sprite

he7/8: he + consonant + stuff you breathe + vowel. And plural.
3:58 am
sprite

La8: past tense of La6. L + solo song in opera + name for a toybear.
3:58 am
sprite

Li7/8: straight and narrow + had for dinner. Past tense for the 8.
4:00 am
jillibus

great clues, sprite! tyvm!
4:00 am
sprite

ax8: ax + not well + butt minus last letter.
It builds on an ax4/9. You can also get 3 7s from this one.
4:01 am
sprite

my pleasure jilli :)
4:02 am
movieman

ty ty sprite, me ol' dutch!!!!!!!
4:02 am
sprite

you're very welcome, movie my man :)
4:02 am
jillibus

I only got an ax7 from that clue, sprite, plus a 4 and a6 so far
4:03 am
sprite

ok jilli... plural the 6 the normal way and the latin way. Th4 make it adverbial and pluralise it.
4:04 am
sprite

(the 6 I mean, not the plural 7s)
4:06 am
sunny09

wonderful clues sprite :)
4:06 am
sprite

thanks sunny :)
4:07 am
jillibus

axillaI can't seem to find a way to make the armpit adverbial
4:07 am
sprite

jilli, almost... just change the last letter.
4:07 am
jillibus

oops -- didn't mean to put that first word in!
4:07 am
sprite

used the Ls in the other order.
4:08 am
sprite

almost penalty box for you, lol...
4:09 am
jillibus

got it (adjectival, I think)
4:10 am
sprite

good! And if you pluralise that, it should give you the 8.
4:10 am
jillibus

it was the other order Ls wot dun it :D
4:10 am
sprite

lol, thought it might!
4:11 am
jillibus

got it -- now how about the ax5/20? The first one?
4:11 am
sprite

insert a vowel into the ax4/9, just before the last letter.
4:14 am
jillibus

great -- that gets rid of all the ax words -- and me -- must go to bed now and have all tiles with at least one word -- thanks SO much, spritey! Nighty nighty!
4:14 am

sweet dreams to you, jilli, and a nice and restful night! *hug*

Sprite, just out of curiosity, have you ever completed a grid without help yet?
4:19 am

Oh, and congrats, by the way

4:19 am
movieman

4:20 am
sprite

I have done some without any clues, but not many. I only hide the chat when people are spelling out clues, for the rest I like the chat too much :)
4:22 am
sprite

and since drG made the pro site, we always have the help of the tile stats. But I have done and finished some grid before that time, without any help at all. Not as much fun though ;)
4:22 am
sprite

oh wow, the movie is just great today.
4:25 am
jan

Sprite is being too modest. She is a Babble genius. Back before the tile stats, she not only finished grids but generously clued us mere mortals. Even so, I never finished a grid pre-stats...
4:26 am

6:47 am
rolin

i tell you what...i will never doubt the efficacy of a bike rider leathers any more...
6:48 am
rolin

i just glanced out of my window to see a bike rider sliding along the major road way...having just been knocked off his bike
6:48 am
rolin

just..being earlier this morning
6:48 am
Atalante

ouch!
6:48 am
Haz1558

I would wince, but people would look.
6:48 am
dcseain

ouch. hope s/he's okay.
6:49 am
rolin

he was fine...i made him a cup of coffee... his leathers were shredded tho.. no wonder they wear them
6:49 am
dcseain

yes, the leathers are a life-saver
6:49 am
dcseain

denim's good for that, too.
6:49 am
hurshy

now, here in rhode island, the opposite of success is falia.
6:49 am
Haz1558

You are a good woman, rolin.
6:49 am
Atalante

leathers and a helmet
6:50 am
dcseain

yes, atalante, i presumed the helmet, though in Ohio, they don't require them, and many don't wear them.
6:50 am
rolin

oooh hursh...did you see the one i wanted yeasterday..or maybe the day before....??..'uneek'..
6:50 am
Inge2

lol, here in Massachusetts, too, hursh

6:51 am
hurshy

we likes our freedom here, even if it kills us
6:51 am
dcseain

not in Ohio, and MD still has an exemption for people with class-M (motorcycle) licenses granted prior to, if i recall, 1990.
6:52 am
dcseain

i'm sure other states have exeptions and/or non-requirements also.
6:52 am

hi hurshy! My beloved and I went to Boston a couple weeks ago to celebrate birthdays/anniversary, and did the Trolley Tour and a harbor cruise --- it's really quite beautiful downtown.

Anyway, I thought of you while we were looking around. We had lunch in "little Italy" -- mmmm!
6:54 am
hurshy

but i didn't go there, ch, did you never hear? i moved to RI instead.
6:54 am
Inge2

No helmets required in New Hampshire either. Or seatbelts. It's not for nothing their state slogan is "Live Free or Die"
6:54 am
dcseain

the north end is a lovely place, ch1212. They're a buyring ground at the top of it with lovely views off toward charlestown.
6:54 am
rolin

i want to come acr0oss to new england in the autumn one year
6:54 am

It's beautiful, rolin. Many lovely little towns, too.

OH! I thought you were in Boston! LOL! Okay, never mind...

Lol, Rolin...that's what one child actually said at a school assembly!
6:55 am
ch1212

Thanks for the tip DC -- we've gone twice now, and hope to get more exploring in over the next year or so. It's also an expensive town :)
6:56 am
hurshy

but when it comes to the patriot act, i'm inclined to agree with NH.
6:56 am
rolin

ok.....well...looks like my time is up....i better go do some work.. see you all later...
6:56 am
Inge2

It is...come out to Concord and Lexington ch1212, you wil enjoy them too

good morning afternoon evening babblers
6:57 am
hurshy

that's the trouble with us americans, our priorities are out of whack. if we torture people and detain them without cause, people don't really care. but if we make you wear a helmet or a seatbelt...
6:57 am
ch1212

We've been to Concord twice now, and took my daughter and son-in-law a few weeks ago. Concord is (so far) my favorite town. LOVE Orchard House, of course.

Atalante, Quabbin, like Chopawamsick, Pohick, and many ohers, is a native name for a place or geographic feature, like a river.

Haz1558

I will. See you soon!
7:00 am
ch1212

LOL Atalante! I don't know, but I think it's the large body of water that supplies Boston with fresh water. Created in the 1930's, and 5 local towns were destroyed in the process.
7:00 am
Haz1558

Troubles is an understatement, hurshy, but hoping that all will be restored soon.
7:01 am

7:10 am
carleekat

its very limiting in the kitchen
7:10 am
dcseain

and the other big limitation is "meat shoudl NEVER be mixed with fruit"
7:11 am

I strongly recommend Pink Martini, they do a wide variety of stuff, and their albums are are nicely danceable, speaking as one who does classic ballroom.
7:44 am
carleekat

hahaha...classic ballroom..another one of those things have always wanted to try... my taste is... way far east of here I am afraid....
7:46 am

Madredeus i like, both their fado and non-fado stuff. Sadly, they've not been her in the states since i found out about them.
7:47 am

oh, carlee, the baklawa you posted sounds lovely, i'l lhave to try that a day, likely week after next when i have days off and am in town.

when doing for fewer I make the sugar water instead of honey... and I add extra types of nuts to the mix
7:48 am

ah like the recipe for felafel from my friend that makes 40 pounds.
7:48 am
dcseain

sugar water, a simple syrup?
7:50 am
carleekat

hmm..been a while since I made the syrup as I am forever doign the MASS BAKE... I think is 2 cup water to 1 cup sugar and 2- 3 tsp of lemon juice..boil until thinkens but does not darken and pour immediately over the baklawa....
7:51 am
dcseain

ah yes, so a simple syrup with a spot of lemon. Good to know. Though i like honey a lot.
7:51 am
carleekat

ur friend who makes 40 pounds falafel will know
7:51 am

the honey is greek... the sugar syrup is arab

I'm back. DC! How do you peel squash? I took your suggestion earlier to carlee and am going to make the bean-squash-corn soup. I bought a butternut squash and will cube it up.... but I don't have a potato peeler, just a paring knife. Will that work?

Hi ch1212
9:29 am
NonoNanette

just be careful
9:29 am
dcseain

i steam the squash to just scoopable, scoop it out, add to soup as thickener and let it chunk as it will.
9:30 am
dcseain

if peeling raw, i use a very large knife to cut it up, then cut the skin off
9:30 am
ch1212

Ah... I like that idea better. Much easier. Thanks!
9:30 am
carleekat

as long as it is very sharp ch...but...why not pop into oven and bake / roast it until ready

1:50 pm

Money is the ultimate seduction, isn't it.... we say it doesn't matter, but when there is none... Right,kat... I can't do just one thing... I have to have music as my soothing influence, though...
1:50 pm
carleekat

ugh...and in alberta... the people working at mc donalds are being paid 20.00+ / hour and the restaurant is closing at 8 pm cus not enough staff to run it

1:55 pm
CLC

Scarlet - I know but I want something that does not involve commission.
1:55 pm
Scarlet

Hasn't the environment always taken a beating when it comes to fossil fuels and "progress"....errggg, don't get me on a soapbox!
1:55 pm
CLC

Besides, this was my husbands interest, not mine. Now that I got rid of him it is time to get out of this business.
1:55 pm

4:35 pm

Does your hamster live in a cage or does he get the run of the house like the bunnies?
4:36 pm
Scrabbler

He is in a cage, Inge, or else I would never find him. Whenever a hamster has escaped the hide-and-go-seek is no fun!

5:11 pm

I watched just 2 minutes of the video.
5:11 pm
hurshy

yes, you can but you have to make sure you start out by going to borders.com rather than amazon.com
5:11 pm
hurshy

which means you can't pull things straight off your wishlist, you have to find them via the search.
5:12 pm
FranMag

i was wondering where you went chic, forgot about the video. :-)
5:12 pm
Scrabbler

OK, TY, hursh.
5:12 pm

and it won't let you redeem more than one in a single order
5:13 pm
hurshy

which can be very irritating.
5:16 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, Hursh, I am getting very irritated as I end up on Amazon and not Borders and I suspect as I will get to my final ordering step that the gift card will not be acceptable. I guess I will go to a brick-and-mortar Borders tomorrow.
