stidmama

thanks kiwi. I think I will go to bed. Jill -- I am working in Mother's classroom tomorrow, will be home in the evening and check mail then. He is frustrated, but if we can keep him from making it worse before the cast goes on it might be a relatively quick downtime

1:18 am

jillibus

1:18 am

stidmama

okay, kiwi, I am going to sleep. Tom is going to come to sleep too... *looks over at Tom's computer*

GM all. Can anyone tell if you can play the square from Lickety's page?

2:04 am

Flask1

Can someone please explain to me how, once I get into meet & greet in Bab Anon, how I leave a message for FranMag?

2:06 am

meliae

I dont think I understand your question Galey, and Flask no I am not sure how to do that

2:07 am

Flask1

ok Meiliae...thanks anyway!

2:08 am

galeystarr

I'm so new at this. Theres the daily square on lickety's page. It looks like you can play it. It shows the clues with boxes. You can check them off.

2:08 am

Flask1

Atal...surely you can help me????

2:09 am

lynxxx

hello everyone

2:09 am

galeystarr

Hi lynxxx

2:09 am

Flask1

Morning lynxxx!

2:10 am

Flask1

Galey go to bottom of page and click on Licketys List

2:11 am

Flask1

Lynxxx can you please help me?

2:12 am

lynxxx

Hi Galey - nice icon! The grid on Lickety is probably the same as the babble one - some people print off Lickety's list which is why he has it shown there as well. You enter the words in the square at the top of the list and it will go to the right place on the list. You can also bulk add, see the instructions at the bottom. Have you asked Lickety for Babble Expert yet though?

2:13 am

lynxxx

Hi Flask...no I am sorry, I have looked at Babb Anon but have never done anything with it. Sorry

2:14 am

djin

flask!...i think you make an account first !!

2:15 am

Flask1

Ok thanks anyway, I tried last night too...but my carers arrived so I had to abandon it........and woke this morning with it on my mind......

I never once thought of you as arrogant, your eminence

FMitch, can we have a pic?

4:13 am

sprite

please pity please?

4:13 am

o-o

not at all, your eminence... you are not like that

4:13 am

Haz1558

So, if it's a Scottie, it should be a dog of McDoom.

4:13 am

lynxxx

well Sprite I could take issue with you finishing grids sooo fast - that does make me feel that you are much better than me

4:13 am

FMitch

As soon as I get a new digi camera sprite definately.
LOL Haz, even better

4:14 am

sprite

I am glad, BabbleRabble :)
*takes bow at unearned title*

4:14 am

JFB

Good move meliae - Haz don't you think leprechauns should be issued with Babble so we can spend more time babbing?

4:14 am

FMitch

lynxxx just mention KKKKKK words and that will bring her back down to earth.

4:14 am

Haz1558

ANd have you named the pup? And how is housetraining going - no unexpected leaks?

4:14 am

meliae

rofl Haz

4:14 am

sprite

lynxxx, I am nowhere near finishing. I could not even find the ex words today. I am absolutely not better. Just maybe more addicted.

4:14 am

lynxxx

lolol Haz !

4:14 am

meliae

hahaha FM

4:15 am

Haz1558

Did you not get your free leprechaun when you joined, JFB? I got a breeding pair. I'm overrun now.

4:15 am

sprite

*hits K-bottom hard*

4:15 am

FMitch

I thought I would do a daily blog, pup has failed to curl up on my feet, spilled all over the place and because of it's dispositions definiately does not eat cake or curry.

4:15 am

meliae

getting cold here almost time to get the neighbor guy to fire up the heat for me

4:16 am

sprite

you still at work, meliae?

4:16 am

Haz1558

Oh, no curry?

4:16 am

meliae

I work at home, taking care of mentally handicapped adults, I have a foster home

4:16 am

Haz1558

But haggis, a Scottie pup would love haggis.

4:17 am

meliae

and yes I am on shift tonight =)

4:17 am

FMitch

... and it hasn't spoken a word or rather a woof yet. Ah thats a thought and perhaps I should take up bagpipes?

4:17 am

sprite

oh, darn, I knew that, I am sorry meliae. Got it all mixed up again in this fuzzy brain.

4:17 am

Haz1558

And you could get a kilt to put round the mug when it gets cold.

4:18 am

JFB

As I am bereft of leprechauns I must go and do a few jobs. We have our house on the market and the strain of keeping it tidy and presentable all the time I'm either going to hit the bottle or tranquilisers!

4:18 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't take up the bagpipes, FMitch, especialy if you're going to move to a new place. There'd be petitions.

4:18 am

FMitch

It is already wearing a nice red/grey/black tartan thanks.

4:18 am

meliae

I have 4 am meds (2 hours from now), then breakfast then I get to sleep

4:18 am

sprite

owwww JFB! I understand that, quite a burden! Hope you sell it fast.

4:18 am

lynxxx

nothing worse JFB ...bye for now

4:19 am

FMitch

Oh JFB I am moving and looking!

4:19 am

Haz1558

I could send you over a leprechaun, JFB. They sleep six to a bunk bed so I'm sure you could find room. Just put them under the settee when house viewers come.

4:19 am

meliae

yes that is hard on the whole household never knowing when someone is going to want to look your house over

4:19 am

Haz1558

And make sure the viewers know that leprechauns don't dome with the house.

4:19 am

JFB

One advantage we have is that the 21 year old son is working away from home at the moment!

4:20 am

sprite

that must be a relieve indeed, lol

4:20 am

Haz1558

I'm sure he'll be delighted to know his absence is a relief!!

4:21 am

JFB

bbl - have fun!

4:21 am

Haz1558

Bye JFB!

4:21 am

sprite

thanks.. .I mean relief

4:21 am

FMitch

Byee JFB

4:22 am

Haz1558

Has Atalante's internet connection got sorted out yet?

4:23 am

FMitch

She was on earlier but I think it might be having some teething issues.

4:23 am

sprite

she is still having problems with it, but when it works, it works great!

4:23 am

Haz1558

Technology's great whle it works.

4:24 am

FMitch

From what she was saying the new packages benefits far outweigh any initial hic ups.

4:24 am

FMitch

RBR

4:24 am

ms_gilly

goodnight to you all,see you tomorrow.I will join in the lobby talk as I get to become more familiar with you

4:25 am

sprite

ms_gilly, till tomorrow and don't hold back, we are open to your contributions! :)

4:25 am

Haz1558

Bye ms_gilly. You'll probably realise that some of us are more sensible than others. Nice to have you join us!

4:26 am

sprite

*now wonders which category Haz places herself in*

4:26 am

ms_gilly

thankyou,I go another game site and talk lots there :)

4:26 am

Haz1558

Sensible, of course, sprite.

4:26 am

sprite

lol, I was afraid of that...

4:26 am

Haz1558

When have I ever talked anything but sense here?

4:26 am

FMitch

Head mistress'ish?

4:27 am

sprite

whenever indeed... :)

4:27 am

Haz1558

Others may have stays in Homes for the Bewildered or Hostels for the Deluded, but not me.

4:27 am

Haz1558

I'm fine here with my dog and my leprechauns.

4:28 am

sprite

on a permanent stay :)

4:28 am

FMitch

Of course Haz dear, now here just take this pretty pink and white pill.

4:28 am

Haz1558

There are other people here who wear pyjamas all day, but they're nothing to do with me.

4:29 am

Atalante

haz just wears a 20 stone wedding dress and drinks baileys

4:29 am

FMitch

... but wearing them to the library was a little questionable, don't you think?

4:29 am

Haz1558

Atalante! Good morning.

4:30 am

Atalante

I'm not really here, but couldn't resist that!

4:30 am

Atalante

dog is insisting on walk. will try and kick connection into working better when I get back

4:30 am

FMitch

Hi Ata, where have you been? I've introduce the DoD to the babble family!

4:30 am

sprite

I suggest a non-violent approach, Ata.

4:31 am

sprite

yea, FMitch told us she hates it!

4:31 am

Atalante

dog of DOOOOOOOOM!

4:31 am

Haz1558

Yes, we've heard about Dog of McDoooooooom. I'm commissioning a tartan.

4:31 am

dcseain

howdy, yall

4:31 am

Atalante

*gasp*

4:31 am

FMitch

Ignore sprite, she is all out of sorts

4:31 am

granadan

take mine as well please ata!

4:31 am

Haz1558

And a little tammy to keep the tea warm.

4:31 am

FMitch

I mentioned KKKK words and she didn't like it

4:32 am

sprite

ok, I lied. She just told us the dog does not do any of the things she expects from it :)

4:32 am

Haz1558

It's that celebrity status - sprite doesn't love us any more.

4:32 am

FMitch

Hi ds, happy Fridays!

4:32 am

sprite

love you to pieces, Haz

4:32 am

sprite

hi dc!

4:32 am

Haz1558

Good morning dc.

4:32 am

dcseain

ty, fmitch, morning haz.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Glad to hear it, sprite, you can paranoid in this place.

4:33 am

dcseain

hi sprite

4:33 am

Haz1558

You can *get*. See, I can't even type now.

4:34 am

Haz1558

Or could paranoid be a verb? I paranoided when I realised someone was behind me.

4:34 am

Haz1558

I paranoided and parachuted.

4:34 am

FMitch

Going to go and hit head on wall then make phone call to suppliers of ink cartridges that run out WAY before the warning 'low' mark.

4:34 am

dcseain

of course paranoid can be a verb; we're speaking English!

4:35 am

Haz1558

Blame the Dog of Doom. I've heard they'll drink anything.

4:35 am

sprite

paranoia can save lives :)
and being paranoid doesn't mean they are NOT after you.

4:35 am

Haz1558

So if you jump out of the way of a descending parachute, do you paravoid?

4:36 am

sprite

if you do it all the time because you only think you are attacked by parachutes, yes Haz

4:36 am

Haz1558

'I wasn't being paranoid, they were jumping on me'

4:36 am

Haz1558

Note to self - keep looking up.

4:37 am

Atalante

grrrr. dog was pestering. I'll be back!

4:37 am

Haz1558

See you later, Atalante. Dog of Decision must be obeyed.

4:37 am

sprite

lol Haz

4:40 am

meliae

wow this conversation over here sure took a 180 degree turn when I left you were all chatting about the evils of the letter K and leprechans, and I come back to paranoid parachuters, feeding their dogs, LOL

4:41 am

FMitch

such are the joys of babble meliae :)

4:41 am

Haz1558

I know. I keep trying to get them to talk about the grid, but oh no....

4:42 am

meliae

Grid what grid?

4:42 am

dcseain

i know, meliae, and i came in in the middle of it. :)

4:42 am

sprite

eh... and why did that need any turn? Isn't that quite in line?

4:42 am

Haz1558

Now, don't get paranoid, meliae, but you may have been hypnotised.

4:42 am

sprite

dc pushed the steering wheel, I bet

4:42 am

FMitch

Oh do you need a clue? she asked innocently
<------ it's over there :)

4:42 am

meliae

well I suppose its a bit better than the poop one from a few weeks ago, LOL

4:43 am

Haz1558

We can get you back. FMitch is good at this sort of thing. She keeps my medicine.

4:43 am

dcseain

oh, i'd never do such a thing, sprite :D at least not while anyone were looking

4:43 am

meliae

I dont have a clue, I think the leprechans stole it!

4:43 am

sprite

grin, that proves my point. I did not look!

4:44 am

dcseain

is stolen clues how leprechauns make their lucky charms?

4:45 am

sprite

I think I need one of those charms then

4:45 am

Haz1558

Only the ones who have gone to the bad. Real leprechauns are scrup... scroop... very honest.

4:45 am

xris

hello everybody - I am bew to babble - have I entered the Underworld?

4:46 am

dcseain

no, xris, welcome to the Otherwordl.

4:46 am

Haz1558

No. this is reality. What you have lived before was just a bad dream.

4:46 am

xris

ty that should of course have been new

4:46 am

sprite

hi xris... yes, in a way. Very nice Underworld though. Even though it is ruled by Enable, which lacks both PCness and any kind of logic.

4:46 am

FMitch

LOL Haz and ds

4:47 am

Haz1558

Welcome to babble. Some people look for words in the grid over there, some of us exchange interesting ideas instead.

4:47 am

dcseain

non-pc words are most useful in scrabble-like games, as are many archaiscims.

4:47 am

xris

I am enjoying your chat very much even though I am extremely baffled most of the time.....

4:47 am

sprite

ah, but so are we, xris... so are we...

4:47 am

dcseain

we're baffled most of the time too, here have some tea. *pours a cuppa for xris*

4:47 am

xris

chuckles

4:48 am

Haz1558

Don't worry. You'll get the hang of it eventually. Just bear in mind that I'm very sensible, it's the others you have to worry about.

4:48 am

xris

no sugar thanks

4:48 am

FMitch

xris we are baffled too, typical of any day in babble land :)

4:48 am

sprite

Haz is right. Sure Haz. Relax now, okay?

4:49 am

dcseain

haz is paravoid, but we like her anyway.

4:49 am

Haz1558

They're coming for me again. How many times do I have to take the pink and white pills?

4:49 am

sprite

and as long as you don't parachute on her, she will probably don't hate you either.

4:49 am

xris

she is safe - I am a devout coward!

4:50 am

meliae

I bought a "parcel of land", the map to the land had to be "un wrinkled" before I could figure out the "worth" of my "spanish house." So I "tossed" my "hard gotten cash" to the wind to "the direction the sun rises" and hoped I had not placed all my "embryos" in one basket.

4:50 am

Haz1558

That's one thing you'll not get leprechauns doing. They have a deathly fear of heights so no parachuting for them. Top bunk is as high as they'll go.

4:50 am

meliae

there is a clue for ya! LOL

4:50 am

sprite

another reason to love leprechauns and xris then

4:51 am

sprite

LOL meliae! That is one helluva smart clue!

4:52 am

meliae

8 words in that clue!

4:53 am

xris

ty meliae - I actually understood the clues - there is hope for me at the end of the trail...

4:53 am

sprite

working on the embryos, the rest is taken ca4 of. Wonderful :)

4:53 am

FMitch

Sorry Haz, was administering to the DoD. No need for more meds yet, but it is time for your shot of voddy cooking sherry as its Friday

4:53 am

FMitch

Good going mel.

4:54 am

Haz1558

I thought I might try going cold turkey today.

4:54 am

FMitch

Do you want the turkey on white or brown?

4:54 am

dcseain

fmitch, i didn't know you worked for the depatrment of defense.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Some people mentioned that I thought drink might be influencing me. I don't want to be paranoid but....

4:55 am

Haz1558

FMitch comes in many guises.

4:56 am

Haz1558

But lurking beneath is THE ADMINISTRATOR.

4:56 am

FMitch

Sorry I can't say otherwise I self destruct at the end of the grid.

4:56 am

herinfernallady

Hi

4:56 am

Haz1558

(I forgot to turn the echo machine and reverb on)

4:56 am

FMitch

*Boom*

4:56 am

Haz1558

But you got the effect, right?

4:57 am

Haz1558

That wasn't self-destruction, was it? Or was it a parachutist out of control?

4:57 am

sprite

somehow this reminds me so much of a joke. This guy that comes to a psychiatrist because he has sexual problems. The shrink draws him a rectangle and asks what he sees in it. The guy says: "That is a bed... with a couple in it having sex."

4:57 am

Haz1558

You should have looked up, Fmitch!!

4:58 am

FMitch

deep breathing Haz and look at the pretty yellow squares.

4:58 am

sprite

The shrink goes "Hm-m" and draws a square. "And this?"
"That is a room," says the guy. "With at least 20 couples in it having sex."

4:58 am

Haz1558

But I need to know about the boom. Was it fireworks?

4:59 am

sprite

"Hmmmm" says the shrink and draws a circle. "What is this to you?"
"That is a circus tent, big top. With a 1000 couples in it having sex," says the guy.

4:59 am

Haz1558

I see a pattern emerging.....

5:00 am

FMitch

Someone must have ad fireworks.
... waiting foor the punch line.

5:00 am

sprite

"I think we really need to work on your fixation on sex," says the therapist.
"What, on MY fixation?" the guys yells. "I am not the one drawing all those dirty pictures!"

5:00 am

FMitch

lol

5:00 am

herinfernallady

Hi

5:01 am

5:01 am

xris

ty for welcoming me - I will say bye for today - love your sense of humour!!!

5:01 am

meliae

yesterday I saw a man with a "bunch of women" I watched for awhile to be sure no "hurt" would come to them. They were "moving rapidly" and just about "out stepped me" but I followed close behind. Suddenly one turned and looked at me I watched how she "Behaved towards me" following them and wondered if they were going to perform some "holy rite" I was a bit "frightened" and put "more distance between us" But it turned out they were just going to a "health club" to sip on an "english beverage"

5:02 am

Haz1558

Bye xris - have a good day.

5:02 am

dcseain

howdy, lynxxx

5:02 am

5:06 am

dcseain

somehow, i've got to be rested enough to work tonight. Not sure how i'm going to do that.

5:06 am

sprite

lemme think... by going to bed NOW?

5:07 am

dcseain

i 've only been up for an hour, after sleeping for 5.

5:07 am

herinfernallady

I am happy that i have found out the gov have stuffed my claim

5:07 am

sprite

ok... how about a walk outside to get the head cleared up, and then a little nap?

5:08 am

dcseain

it's still dark, and a bit chilly, so for now, no thank you.

5:10 am

dcseain

maybe in a bit though. The dog would enjoy a wakl.

5:12 am

herinfernallady

brr

5:13 am

o-o

phamtom: gamophobia

5:13 am

dcseain

ah ,the roommate is up.

5:13 am

herinfernallady

HI babble

5:13 am

herinfernallady

My doctor rocks

5:13 am

o-o

hello, herin

5:13 am

dcseain

morning, babrab

5:13 am

o-o

mine has rocks

5:14 am

o-o

hello, dcseain

5:14 am

sprite

I give up :)
You figure it out for yourself, dc :D

5:14 am

sprite

in the kidneys, BabbleRabble?

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Mine just told the social services that they are dumb arses

5:14 am

dcseain

eventually, i shalll :| this has not been a good week for sleep.

5:15 am

dcseain

that's a useful thing in a doctor, lady.

5:15 am

o-o

He told me I am one of a personality not conducive to the techniques he employs and wished me well

5:15 am

herinfernallady

That is very usefull he even hand wrote an explaination

5:16 am

dcseain

nice.

5:16 am

dcseain

babrab, your doctor fired you?

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Yes. Babble you worked with a doc?

5:16 am

o-o

yep

5:17 am

lynxxx

my god BabRab - and were you speechless?

5:17 am

sprite

some doc

5:17 am

o-o

psychologist

5:17 am

dcseain

did s/he at least give you a reference?

5:17 am

o-o

me, speechless? hardly ever

5:18 am

lynxxx

lol

5:18 am

sprite

he should be kicked in the .... where it hurts I mean. He basically tells you he is inadequate to help you and wishes you WELL? The very very least he could do is referring you to someone who is more capable!

5:19 am

o-o

he told me about some studies that contend there are a small percentage of people that will not benefit from therapy

5:20 am

dcseain

talk or psychoactive?

5:20 am

o-o

he is not the first one to tell me that

5:20 am

dcseain

and really, there are many different ways of handling such.

5:20 am

o-o

talk, in this case

5:20 am

sprite

now I am speechless. Or well, no I am not. I am mad.
That is some mean thing to say to a person. So he cannot help you and in stead of admitting he is lacking skills, he tells you it is because you cannot be helped? The idiot.

5:22 am

herinfernallady

babble that is rude and mean and well not helpfull

5:23 am

o-o

I was not very upset.... I been to many, many mental health professionals ... I learn what I can

5:24 am

lynxxx

you seem to have your sh** together to me BabRab - more so than many

5:24 am

sprite

I think in a way the man may be right... in the sense that you are the only expert in this field, BabbleRabble. You help yourself and take from each professional what can be of use. I think it is a tough way to go, but a very rewarding one in the end. I admire you.

5:24 am

o-o

when the therapist starts asking me what he/she can do to help me, it is a pretty good indicator of their frustration with me.

5:25 am

sprite

lol, mine asks that same question every time!

5:25 am

o-o

ultimately, it is still my life and it is still up to me

5:25 am

dcseain

i hate that question. If i knew that, why would i be paying them.

5:26 am

sprite

yay dc, that is it exactly. If I knew, I would be doing it myself.

5:27 am

sprite

That is a great motto to live by, BabbleRabble. You have said it before. I remember.

5:28 am

herinfernallady

I think i have found a wonderful place to hide

5:28 am

o-o

I generally respond by asking them to get me assignments ... what they perceive I need to work on .... I very much believe in beeing very active in the process

5:28 am

sprite

ok, kids to feed lunch to, back later. I enjoyed the fun earlier and the good talk now. You guys are the best.

5:28 am

dcseain

i agree, babrab, that's important.

5:29 am

dcseain

later, sprite

5:29 am

o-o

they sometimes forget that they are working for me ...

5:29 am

lynxxx

bye for now Sprite

5:29 am

See you sprite .... errr your eminence

Scarlet

Good morning, Lizsark!

7:50 am

Ogdens Nut

7:50 am

herinfernallady

HI Fm

7:50 am

Lizsark

anyone heard from Fran?

7:50 am

herinfernallady

Red Cordial is liquid red drink

7:50 am

Atalante

I agree. Firefly is intelligent sci-fi. Like Bab 5

7:51 am

herinfernallady

Hi Liz

7:51 am

herinfernallady

I loved buffy just as mindless brain fluff

7:51 am

Scarlet

But, what is it, Lady... alcohol, medication in a liquid base, or a kid's sugared drink?

7:51 am

FMitch

Cordial = old fashioned fruit drink type thingy.
No Liz, don't think we will hear from her for a little while.

7:51 am

Inge2

Firefly is the best TV show ever made.

7:51 am

Lizsark

No I dont suppose so FM I just wondered

7:51 am

phandmd

is ge 8/9 a compound word using the word above it?

7:51 am

Atalante

woot! yay Inge!

7:52 am

phandmd

7:52 am

Scarlet

Thank you, FM and Lady... never heard of it until today...

7:52 am

Inge2

herinfernallady

7:52 am

Lizsark

7:52 am

Scarlet

Hi, Inge2!

7:52 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone

7:52 am

Ogdens Nut

Another Firefly big fan - why on earth did they cut it ?

7:52 am

Inge2

hi Scarlet :)

7:53 am

Atalante

hobbit is *fine* check my flickr LOL she's just had a trim as well, and looks very sleek and beautiful

7:53 am

FMitch

Scarlet think of the era of Little Women and What Katy Did, harks back to that.

7:53 am

Lizsark

aww bless

7:53 am

herinfernallady

Scarlet have you heard of Syrup?

7:53 am

NonoNanette

7:53 am

herinfernallady

Not enough ratings Zen

7:53 am

Scarlet

Good morning, AnnieBrooklyn! *Hugs to you!* Thank you, FM and Lady... now I get it!

7:53 am

Atalante

which is insane, because *so* many people adore it

7:54 am

Inge2

Seriously, Zen. Fantastic cast, incredible writing, funny, great characters, beautiful set...

7:54 am

Lizsark

Luv the attention thief piccy Ata

7:54 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet, just read my email, will answer later {{hugs}}

7:54 am

Ogdens Nut

Must have been too intelligent for most people

7:54 am

Inge2

They put in on a Saturday night, I think, opposite some tough competition. It didn't get the attention it deserved till after it was pulled

7:54 am

Atalante

she sticks her head up through the crook of my arm when she wants attention!

7:55 am

Scarlet

Okay, Annie! Did you see "A Chorus Line"? Was it just too wonderful?

7:55 am

Inge2

Also, I think it was very expensive to produce (check the set) for a TV show

7:55 am

Lizsark

Scully used to pat me with her front paws when she wanted attention :) Theres nothing like a cocker for wanting to be centre of attention

7:55 am

Anniebrook

when the baseball season ends, I will return to regular programs, I have been drawn into baseball this year and love it

7:55 am

Scarlet

Oh, Annie... Last Friday

7:55 am

Lizsark

ok I have to dash. Have fun all

7:56 am

Ogdens Nut

Yes, I agree Inge; it is tragic that it wasn't continued - can we start a petition with Ata

7:56 am

Anniebrook

A Chorus Line was wonderful. Just as good as the original

7:56 am

herinfernallady

Summer Glau who played River was the dancer in Angel as was Amy Acker (fred) till an injury ended her dancing career

7:56 am

Scarlet

Friday's comeback win over the Red Sox was the stuff of dreams... what a hootin' hollerin' game for the NY Yankees!!

7:56 am

Atalante

if petitions had any effect, we'd be at about firefly season 7 now!

7:57 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet, what did the Yanks do yesterday? I missed the game. I thought they played at night but could not find them at all

7:57 am

Inge2

yup, ata! I like Wash's little set of dinosaurs on the bridge. "We have discovered a new planet...we will call it This Land!"

7:57 am

Ogdens Nut

that would be great Ata; I would see alot more of Inara then.....

7:57 am

Atalante

oh yes, they were so cute. and jayne's "I'll be in my bunk"

7:58 am

Anniebrook

Oh must start watching firefly

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Money makes things go round

7:58 am

Inge2

Annie, you will love the character interaction

7:58 am

Atalante

dont worry, Zen, you see a lot more of her later in the series LOL

7:58 am

Scarlet

Annie, I was out kicking up my heels with beloved to celebrate... I haven't looked at Sports'Center on ESPN or looked at the sports pages yet... not known, but they are going to snag the AL East... I can feel it... and the Cubbies have some magic going on this year...

7:58 am

herinfernallady

bottom S please help the one next to the EE

7:58 am

Inge2

Haha, Jayne... my wireless basestation is named after him. And his gun, Vera.

7:59 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet, what is happening to your Mets? I hope they dont blow it

7:59 am

Inge2

If you buy the DVDs you get several more episodes taht were never even aired...and they are GOOD

7:59 am

Ogdens Nut

Oh excellent news Ata; that has cheered me up no end

7:59 am

herinfernallady

we roll played Buffy for a while

7:59 am

Atalante

Inara is just *gorgeous*

8:00 am

Inge2

I need to see Buffy. I have a doctor friend who tells me it's all about life...the meaning of life. He is quite serious.

8:00 am

Ogdens Nut

Did you like Mal ?

8:00 am

Inge2

Yes in my next life I want to come back as Inara...or Sophia Loren.

8:00 am

herinfernallady

HElp with that S please next to the Es

8:00 am

Atalante

Mal's ok. He's a great foil for the other characters. But Jayne and Inara steal the show I think. And Wash, in an understated way

8:01 am

Inge2

Mal? Of course! Captain Tightpants. He's the man. Quirky sense of honor, tongue-tied in front of the ladies...totally charming.

8:01 am

herinfernallady

I have to buy ANgel as i have all of Buffy and i must buy firefly

8:01 am

Atalante

and so amusing with his wife

8:01 am

Ogdens Nut

in my next life I want to be Inara's husband - or even one of her customers....

8:02 am

EvaNadine

hows everyone doing this morning?

8:02 am

Inge2

that's a great episode. LOL

8:02 am

Scarlet

Annie... the Mets are going for the classic New York flame-out and Willie Randolph must be crying in his pillow every night... the bats are cold, the bases don't go so swiftly for Jose Reyes and the fielding looks like the Mets of 1962! :-)

8:02 am

NonoNanette

Thank you, Ata...will hunt and peck...

Congrats to Merk

8:22 am

Atalante

yay annie!

8:23 am

Merk

Thank you ... have a great day. It timed out perfectly ... my grandson is just waking up.

8:23 am

Scarlet

Chocolate Truffle Pie

1 c sugar
10 oz semisweet or bittersweet choc (I use chips, or you can break up chunks)
2 (1 oz) squares unsweetened choc
2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter
5 eggs

Combine 3/4 c sugar and 1/3 cup water and boil in microwave. Stir in semisweet and unsweetened choc's and butter until melted.
Beat eggs and remaining 1/4 c sugar on high speed until almost double in volume. Stir egg mix into choc mix until well blended.
Turn into greased and parchment-lined springform pan or, as I prefer, a round silicone pan. Set pan in larger baking pan so that you can add enough water to the outer pan to reach 1 inch up the side of the inner pan. (If you use a springform and it doesn't have a tight seal, it will leak and the corners of your pie will be a little mushy, hence the silicone pan works better for me. But springform may allow it to be prettier upon removal.)
Bake 40-45 minutes in preheated 350 oven, or until it's set. Cool in pan, refrigerate overnight or several hours.
Remove carefully. Serve with whipped cream or rasberry sauce, or garnish with berries or mint, or do any combination of the above!

8:24 am

herinfernallady

Thanks

8:24 am

NonoNanette

Congrats Merk, have a great day

8:24 am

Scarlet

This is the recipe I clipped from ch1212's bio... but I used 12 oz Ghiardelli 100% cacao, and it's 10 ox. bittersweet and 2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate... the pie is not sweet.

herinfernallady

hi haz

8:49 am

Scarlet

Good day, Haz... welcome to the chocolate celebration!

8:49 am

Haz1558

Hello to all - are we still eating chocolate?

8:50 am

herinfernallady

not now

8:50 am

Scarlet

Yes, and spreading the joy with recipe postings...

8:51 am

Haz1558

There can never be too many chocolate recipes.

8:51 am

Aloyisius

amen to that

8:51 am

Scarlet

We know... :-). Thank you, Ata... I just found that ge8 & 9.

8:52 am

Haz1558

I was on earlier but made remarkably little progress with the grid. I'll have to be disciplined now.

8:52 am

Haz1558

(Cue hollow laughter from the rest)

8:53 am

Aloyisius

nose to the gridstone, Haz!

8:53 am

markbowers7

Scarlet, can u share this 8 and 9?

8:53 am

Scarlet

Likewise, Haz... I only have 101... back to the grid.

8:53 am

Haz1558

Oh, you're further on than me, Scarlet. I'm a disgrace.

8:53 am

Scarlet

Hi, Mark, yes, ge4/6+ca5/12

8:53 am

markbowers7

ah ha

8:54 am

Scarlet

That's the nine... the eight is singular on the ca

8:54 am

Scarlet

Hardly, Haz... glad you found it, mark. No disgraces here!

8:54 am

Scarlet

Only pre-graces.... LOL

8:55 am

Haz1558

You say that now, Scarlet, but you haven't seen FMitch out on the town.

8:55 am

Aloyisius

LOL, Haz

8:55 am

Scarlet

Hahahhaaaa... tis a condition devoutly to be wished....

8:55 am

markbowers7

too bad there's not another e up there, cuz then we could have sp5/14 +ge4/6....

8:56 am

Scarlet

LOL, mark.

8:56 am

herinfernallady

Night

8:57 am

Scarlet

Good night, Lady.

8:57 am

Aloyisius

8:57 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, herinfernal.

8:57 am

herinfernallady

thanks

8:58 am

Scarlet

I'll go make some toast and juice... it's a peanut butter morning on oat bran toast!

8:58 am

Scarlet

Oh, Lady, thank you for your efforts for the posting, also.

8:58 am

Aloyisius

ahh, better than stale bagels.. (-: sounds good, Scarlet

8:59 am

herinfernallady

Thats ok

8:59 am

Scarlet

You poor thing... anticipating a good bagel and getting dreck!

8:59 am

Haz1558

I suppose it's like some brides. They think they've found Prince Charming and then....

8:59 am

Aloyisius

oh well, the cottage cheese was fresh at least..

9:00 am

Haz1558

Although it works the other way as well. Some men think they have found their princess.

9:02 am

Aloyisius

aha.. fireworks to send me off for my haircut.. (-:

9:02 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Aloy!

9:03 am

Aloyisius

oh, btw.. to finish a report from yesterday... the house raided on my road had 211 marijuana plants in yet.. 2 men arrested.. bit of excitement in the hood yesterday..

9:04 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, you were about to go and check it out. Did you get interviewed?

9:04 am

Scarlet

Well done, Aloy... wow, a large operation!

9:04 am

Haz1558

For the paper, I mean. Not by the police.

9:05 am

pabtrek

i have the ge9, are there any more 9's

9:05 am

Aloyisius

lol, Haz.. no, the electric people were there when we went by, disconnecting stuff I imagine.. the police and reporters had left.

9:05 am

Haz1558

There are two 9 letter words, but I don't have the other yet.

9:06 am

Haz1558

What a shame. Still, I'm glad you weren't swept up in the police fervour to solve the crime.

9:06 am

Aloyisius

an $800,000 grow house.. wonder what will happen to it now, TV said it would be "gutted"

9:06 am

Jacula

de9

9:06 am

Scarlet

A de8/9 combo, pabtrek... and I don't have it yet, though.

9:06 am

Jacula

To lessen or maybe to smooth.

9:07 am

Aloyisius

opposite of to make greater for the de8/9

9:07 am

pabtrek

thanks Haz, Jacula and Scarlet

9:07 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula.

9:07 am

Haz1558

Why would it be gutted?

9:07 am

Jacula

Hello, Haz.

9:07 am

Aloyisius

well, the walls were lined with aluminum to reflect light for the plants.. otherwise, I don't know why

9:07 am

Scarlet

Why, Aloy? I know meth labs get gutted because fo the corruption of the walls and rooms, but marijuana farms...

9:08 am

Aloyisius

puzzles me too, Scarlet..

9:08 am

Scarlet

*of*

9:08 am

Haz1558

No shortage of tinfoil at Christmas in that house. Supermarkets over here always seem to feel it's a possibility and you have to climb over piles of tinfoil to get anything else.

9:09 am

Scarlet

Hmmmm.... Well, you seem to be in a center of excitement, Aloy.

9:09 am

Aloyisius

well, I'd like to stay and chat, but don't want to miss my hair appt.. see you wunnerful babblers next grid.. happy babbling!

9:09 am

Scarlet

'Bye new grandmama!!

9:09 am

Jacula

flosey - No. But thanks anyway. LOL

9:30 am

Jacula

Slaverdriver, Haz!

9:31 am

Haz1558

I was just trying to make it sound positive and heroic.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Which it is, of course, just not pleasant, perhaps.

9:32 am

Jacula

You succeeded, Haz. *girds loins in preparation for heroic task ahead*

9:32 am

Jacula

*Trudges up garden path in direction of bunny shed* Byeeeee.

9:32 am

Haz1558

Indeed, girding the loins is good. Go forth and conquer!

9:33 am

flosey

9:33 am

Jacula

(More like go forth and shovel sh**):))

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

yay and bye--ee jacs!

9:33 am

Haz1558

And just be glad I'm not advising you to go forth and multiply. We'll leave that to the rabbits.

9:34 am

Haz1558

de6/24 - de plus an attribute that Jacula is showing by looking after her rabbits.

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

*spews water over keyboard* HAZEL!

9:34 am

swa

hi all how many words today?

9:34 am

Jacula

Speaking of which, I told Paul what you said yesterday, Haz. He'll be having words when he next sees you.

9:34 am

Haz1558

Sorry, sorry. I said I would be good.

9:34 am

Scarlet

I think most of us have completed the cycle of multiplying, Haz...it is now in the "Hands?" of our offspring...

9:34 am

Haz1558

Oh no, not Paul on the warpath. When will I learn to keep my mouth shut?

9:34 am

flosey

thanks Haz

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

well that's no fun is it?

9:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, Scarlet, and aren't we jolly glad?

9:35 am

Jacula

Going now... really... byeeeeeeee.xx

9:35 am

Haz1558

Bye Jacula!

9:36 am

swa

sorry anyone have the total word count pls?

9:36 am

Scarlet

9:36 am

Vicuna

Most couples really only indulge in addition. But my husband and I actually did multiply x 2.

9:36 am

Haz1558

9:36 am

mrpresident

9:42 am

greenbayladi

hi mrp

9:42 am

Vicuna

And speaking of the progeny, I am called upon to read them a story, so I guess I won't be finding any more words just now. Back later. Sigh. ;)

9:42 am

Scarlet

Until later, Vicuna.

9:42 am

Haz1558

See, now I'm confused. herinfernal has just gone off to bed. Is she extra late or are you extra early?

9:42 am

mrpresident

9:43 am

Haz1558

See you later, Vicuna.

9:43 am

Scarlet

Does Lady have a vampire schedule?

9:43 am

mrpresident

it is 12.45am haz, saturday morning... I am having a very late night/morning

9:43 am

Haz1558

Vampires wouldn't be able to keep a cat, I don't think.

9:44 am

Atalante

well the cat is very pale ...

9:44 am

Haz1558

Okay, so it's really the very early hours of the morning. Can you not sleep?

9:44 am

mrpresident

infern LIVES on babble... she spends her waking hours here

9:44 am

Scarlet

Hahhahaha...

9:44 am

Haz1558

Is all the blood sucked from it, do you think?

9:44 am

Atalante

9:45 am

FMitch

We know MrP, I have the grey hairs to prove it. Oh and hello all.

9:45 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch and Atalante - come to join the party?

9:47 am

Scarlet

Was there an Aussie Vampire attack in your town recently, Haz...?

9:47 am

ursh

Fireworks - very academic video today - will have to really concentrate to get it

9:48 am

Haz1558

Not that I've heard of, Scarlet. PHone!

9:48 am

ursh

My brain prefers dogs on skate boards and such like

9:48 am

FMitch

Zips mouth suddenly remembering that I spent the whole of this morning in the penalty box and here I am again chatting!

9:48 am

Scarlet

Well done, ursh... I don't want to concentrate today... the post-birthday shut-down is mandatory...

9:48 am

mrpresident

Hi Tiny :))

9:49 am

Haz1558

Oh come on, FMitch, there's no fun in sitting on your hands. They just go numb.

9:49 am

Haz1558

Hello Tiny!

9:50 am

Tiny

I have been on a bit lately Hullo Mr P

9:50 am

FMitch

Hi Tiny

9:53 am

Haz1558

And very nice it is, FMitch.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Is it just me, or are there more birthdays this month among babblers than usual?

9:54 am

Tiny

has anyone heard how Fran Mag is

9:54 am

Scarlet

The 30th, mrp? That's a nice date... I like threes... LOL

9:54 am

FMitch

Funny I was thinking that last night. September is definitely a bumper month and we all know why don't we!

9:55 am

Scarlet

No, not yet, Tiny.

9:55 am

Scarlet

We are the children born of Christmas celebrators, Haz... LOL

9:55 am

Haz1558

No, why is that, FMitch? You have a theory?

9:55 am

FMitch

New YEars Eve celebrations :)

9:55 am

Tiny

9:58 am

Lara226

Ypsi ajr your around??

9:58 am

Jayde287

How many words today?

9:58 am

FMitch

But going back to your original point HAz, it is interesting how many virgos there seem to be.

9:58 am

Scarlet

171, Jayde

9:59 am

Tiny

well I am off to bed good night all and God Bless You All

9:59 am

Haz1558

I'm just wondering if it's representative of the general population. I should ask my midwife friend.

9:59 am

Scarlet

And God bless you, Tiny.

9:59 am

Haz1558

Good night, Tiny, sleep well.

9:59 am

FMitch

Night night Tiny sleep well.

Tiny

10:02 am

greenbayladi

10:02 am

Haz1558

10:03 am

greenbayladi

ty

10:03 am

Jayde287

thanks

10:04 am

mrpresident

gets smaller?? hahaha

10:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:04 am

mrpresident

I am still trying to figure out what the wee scotsman has to do with it :D

10:05 am

greenbayladi

de8 smaller

10:05 am

FMitch

Haz is on a scottish bent today.

10:05 am

FMitch

s she is fantasising about George Cluney parachuting in, wearing a kilt?

10:05 am

Haz1558

Think of the kilt and all those pleats. Just another name for what makes the pleat.

10:05 am

mrpresident

fair enough... I am on a facial hair de8 today

10:06 am

Haz1558

It must be my Scots blood rising to the surface. There was a funeral this morning at the local cemetery, A bagpiper and everything.

10:06 am

FMitch

Awe and I thought you looked cute with a mustache!

10:06 am

Scarlet

That has always been standard in our family, Haz... the pipers playing "Amazing Grace"

10:06 am

Lizsark

Och Aye The Noo Haz :) Hello again all

10:07 am

FMitch

:) Hi Liz

10:08 am

Haz1558

Yes, Amazing Grace was played, Highland Cathedral etc. I got the impression they weren't quite sure where the grave was, it was taking them so long to process solemnly towards it.

10:08 am

mrpresident

oh we all look cute with a mustache.... for our baboon cousins

10:08 am

Atalante

any more Baileys wreaths?

10:08 am

Haz1558

No, this was quite dignified. Not a Bailey's wreath in sight.

10:09 am

Atalante

not sure if thats a disappointment or not

10:09 am

Scarlet

What is a Bailey's wreath, Ata?

10:10 am

FMitch

Waits to see if Ata or Haz responds to that one.

10:10 am

Atalante

over to Haz ....

10:10 am

mrpresident

I must look into putting another babblebooks reading up.... anyone interested in sending a recording???

10:10 am

Haz1558

Scarlet, I told FMitch and Atalante about a funeral a while back. One of the traveller families was involved. It was all very.... tacky.... and one of the wreaths was done in the shape of a Baileys bottle. Label and all.

10:11 am

Haz1558

Brown and orange silk crysanthemums were employed. The florist showed some ingenuity, I suppose.

10:11 am

FMitch

Unable to help there MrP

10:11 am

Scarlet

Ohmigosh... those Travellers certainly have a flair, don't they, Haz? Thank you for the insight... now I can die a fulfilled woman...

10:11 am

Deeha

My brother in law had a wreath that was a pint of lager in bronze chysanths with white ones for the froth running down the side of the 'glass' and he wasnt even a traveller just someone who drank lager!!!

10:12 am

Haz1558

There was also a fish shaped wreath ( he was fond of fishing). Doves were released (or perhaps pigeons dyed white, who would know)

10:12 am

FMitch

fond of fishing or drank baileys like one?

10:12 am

Haz1558

A previous traveller had been fond of ELvis. Cue guitar shaped wreaths. I kid you not.

10:13 am

Scarlet

I attended a funeral for a man who made a living as an Elvis Presley impersonator... the flower guitars, piano and cape were unlike anything I had ever seen before... or since.

10:13 am

Haz1558

I assume the horse-shoe shaped wreath confirmed his interest in horses. Or gambling. Or both.

10:13 am

Scarlet

Snap, Haz! LOL

10:14 am

Haz1558

See, I knew the travellers had to get their ideas from somewhere. The piano must have been inspirational.

10:14 am

FMitch

Some of the more intricate wreaths are floral works of art.

Afternoon Deeha

10:14 am

Haz1558

I know, but how DO they keep their face straight when people are making their requests?

10:14 am

mrpresident

soooo, babblebooks is of no interest?

10:15 am

Deeha

Afternoon FMitch I always feel it is a bit like a vikings funeral - sending things off into the hereafter with the deceased!!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Sorry, mrpresident, we were sidetracked.

10:15 am

Scarlet

I assume that business is business and nothing is deemed too bizarre...

10:15 am

Deeha

It would be a real challenge for the florist tho' wouldnt it?

10:16 am

Scarlet

I would love to go back in time to see my Viking ancestors and their customs, but I am here in the 21st century for a little while longer.

10:16 am

Haz1558

May there never be an occasion for anybody to order a Babble wreath with the grid outlined.

10:16 am

Atalante

grrr stupid internet connection. so it was a permanent baileys wreath! does it get reused for each funeral?

10:16 am

Scarlet

LOL, Ata..

10:16 am

Haz1558

It has been removed, Atalante, so they'll have to start from scratch if it's ever needed again.

10:16 am

FMitch

Phone BRB

10:17 am

Deeha

can someone explain babblebooks?

10:17 am

Haz1558

mrpresident - there's your cue from Deeha.

10:17 am

Scrabbler

A quick hello to all. My visiting sister and I will be going for a walk soon.

10:17 am

Atalante

10:18 am

joanne0334

10:18 am

Haz1558

Hello Scrabbler - who's winning Scrabble wars?

10:18 am

Scarlet

Hello, Scrabbler. Hello to sister.

10:18 am

Deeha

Like the idea Atalante

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Leslie is, 3-1. I will try to even things up today.

10:18 am

Atalante

10:19 am

mrpresident

10:20 am

Haz1558

Sorry, sorry, I said I would be good. But really, if she beats her in scrabble and won't let her babble, what kind of a visitor is that?

It's all behind you now, flosey... LOL

10:37 am

Ogdens Nut

hi haz & everyone

10:37 am

Scarlet

Hello, Zenmed.

10:37 am

Haz1558

Hello Zen - nice to see you!

10:37 am

bluenoser76

what are the rules

10:38 am

flosey

now back to bed, am fighting a nasty cold

10:38 am

Ogdens Nut

Are you still up in the library, haz ?

10:38 am

Scarlet

Hello, bluenoser. Check the links below the tile stats and go to Help above this chatline for some outlines.

10:38 am

bluenoser76

Ok nevermind found them

10:38 am

Haz1558

The first rule is to enjoy finding words. You'll find the guidelines to the game above in 'Help' and also if you scroll down to Angelsong's Babble page.

10:38 am

bluenoser76

yes lol thanks, I had just logged on & found under "help"

10:38 am

Scarlet

Oh, flosey... but not too sick to Babble! There's the spirit! Be well.

10:38 am

Haz1558

No, Zen, my computer is back home again so all is well with the world.

10:39 am

flosey

Welcome to Babbleland bluenoser

10:39 am

bluenoser76

so do we all play automatically against each other?

10:39 am

bluenoser76

thanks

10:39 am

flosey

not against bluenoser, with - it's a very friendly group

10:40 am

Haz1558

No, you find words at your own pace. There's no competition involved.

10:40 am

Scarlet

No, bluenoser. We play for the sheer satisfaction of accomplishing something so esoteric.

10:40 am

bluenoser76

heh thanks

10:40 am

flosey

bluenoser - from Nova Scotia?

10:40 am

debjed

first ac4,5?

10:41 am

Scarlet

Past tense of the high playing card, deb.

10:41 am

Ogdens Nut

Marvellous - are you also a Firefly fan, Haz, as Inge, Ata and I were discussing earlier ?

10:41 am

Haz1558

ac4/5 - a land measurement

10:41 am

Scarlet

My bad... it is a land measurement.

10:41 am

Ogdens Nut

And hi, Scarlet

10:41 am

debjed

ty

10:42 am

Haz1558

I don't think I can be, Zen. I'm reading through the chat log at the minute so I'll see what you were discussing.

10:44 am

Ogdens Nut

I'm sure you would know if you were - mmm, can't remember the time of that chat

10:45 am

Haz1558

Yes, I rather think I'm not. It's nothing to do with Firefox, sure it's not?

10:46 am

Ogdens Nut

No, it is a TV sci-fi programme from a few years back that was increduously dropped from the screens

10:47 am

Haz1558

Well ,if it was sci-fi, then definitely not!

10:48 am

Scarlet

Sillly ps4/5 word...

10:48 am

Ogdens Nut

Ah, you don't know what you are missing, Haz

10:48 am

Haz1558

But I do, that's the point. I'm happy to miss it.

10:49 am

Haz1558

I'm an object of pity in the babble world because of my determined dislike of all things fantasy.

10:49 am

FMitch

Zen, no point in wasting your time. Many have come before and talked of sci if to Haz.

10:49 am

Scarlet

Not at all, Haz. That's why there are choices...

10:49 am

Haz1558

Wee goblins and people with funny names just don't do it for me.

10:50 am

Haz1558

You'll not get George Clooney stooping to be a hobgoblin.

10:50 am

FMitch

Well the leprachauns were doing fine with you this morning if I recall.

10:50 am

Scarlet

Where's that logic I so admired, Haz... Mr. Clooney may do anything that Hollywood pays him enough money to do... and then, you might become a fan at last!

10:51 am

Haz1558

They're okay. They're useful.

10:51 am

FMitch

LOL Scarlet, nice one.

10:51 am

Scarlet

:-)

10:51 am

hetty

Haz, don't you mean "all things fantastic"? But seriously, I share your dislike of whimsy--except for Lord Peter of course.

10:51 am

Haz1558

The day George appears in a hobgoblin suit is the day I...... Well, he won't do it, so I needn't worry.

10:52 am

Ogdens Nut

Goblins and elves do zilch for me too, except making me want to stamp on them, but Firefly is very intelligent stuff...

10:52 am

Scarlet

LOL....

10:52 am

FMitch

Sharp intake of breath "whimsy"!!

10:52 am

hetty

As for George Clooney--I profess to know nothing

10:52 am

Scarlet

He is, as Haz describes attractive men, "decorative"

10:53 am

Haz1558

Yes, hetty, maybe I mean fantastic. And if you don't know George Clooney, google him and prepare to sit down.

10:53 am

hetty

Why the sharp intake, Fmitch?

10:53 am

hetty

I shall google him when I've finished the grid. Not when I'm on a roll.

10:54 am

Scarlet

You'll be off that roll when you "meet" Mr. Clooney, hetty.

10:54 am

FMitch

Oh no reason .. Oh OK my faterh got me hooked on Azimov and Star Trek and one thing leads to another.

10:54 am

Haz1558

Exactly, Scarlet.

10:54 am

FMitch

*Father

10:54 am

Scarlet

I thought I was the Number One Azimov fan here, FM!!

10:55 am

hetty

You mean I'm not going to want a roll in the hay?

10:55 am

FMitch

Woot!

10:55 am

Ogdens Nut

You like the grey-haired type, haz ?????

10:55 am

hetty

And who the hanover is Azimov?

10:56 am

hetty

I can see I have a lot of googling to do

10:56 am

Scarlet

A brilllian scientist who couched a number of his theoretical, futuristic ideas in fictional form, hetty.

10:56 am

FMitch

Only one of the finest sci fi writers, Way ahead of his time.

10:56 am

Scarlet

*brilliant*

10:56 am

FMitch

Ah much more eruditely put Scarlet.

10:57 am

Scarlet

:-)

10:57 am

Haz1558

Sorry, back from rescuing clothes from the line.

10:58 am

hetty

oh,you mean isaac. I was in a play by him once.

10:58 am

Scarlet

Which one, hetty?

10:58 am

Haz1558

Okay, I hold my hands up in surrender. I fully support people's choice to read and enjoy science fiction. I choose not to.

10:58 am

hetty

Can't remember a thing about it, except his name.

10:59 am

Ogdens Nut

Ah, I was just surmising that you must like the grey-haired type, Haz...

10:59 am

hetty

I think it was called "The 75th" and was certainly nothing to do with sci-fi

10:59 am

hetty

Trying to dregd up more--it was decades ago

10:59 am

cybernan

good morning/afternoon everyone :)

10:59 am

FMitch

Haz did you see the recipe for chocolate heaven earlier - can you make it and take a photo so I can stick a pic on my notice board and not put on weight?

10:59 am

Scarlet

Haz, all I can say in defense of, and without attempting to put anything on your human will, is that Science Fiction, as a genre, is theh ability to dream great things for our future... or be nihilistic, if you will.

11:00 am

Haz1558

Grey-haired men can be very attractive - PROVIDED they don't use combover methods on what remains of their locks.

11:00 am

periwinkle

Hi all

11:00 am

periwinkle

chocolate heaven?

11:01 am

Scarlet

Arrrrgggghhhh... combovers! Better bald! Hi, peri.

11:01 am

periwinkle

I am with Haz re sci fi and fantasy

11:01 am

periwinkle

I agree Scarlet re comb overs

11:01 am

Haz1558

I haven't come to chocolate heaven in the log yet, Fmtich. I'm still reading about herinfernal's continuing struggle with the universe. How is it that she is so surrounded by idiots?

11:01 am

FMitch

Grey haired men can turn my knees all trembly

11:02 am

Scarlet

So sad, Haz.

11:02 am

Sandieangel

Hi all - only here for an hour at most - anyone got a clue for the ar5/12 plz?

11:02 am

Ogdens Nut

That's jolly reassuring then Haz and FM as most of what i have left is well grey

11:02 am

Scarlet

FMitch, is it the one I posted? I can re-post it if you wish.

11:02 am

Haz1558

For pity's sake don't resort to the Grecian 2000 either, Zen.

11:03 am

FMitch

Don't you dare Scarlet, I will put on another 5lbs if I read it again!

11:03 am

periwinkle

Scarlet would you e-mail chocolate heaven to me then?

11:03 am

FMitch

Well helloooo Zen *grin*

11:03 am

Haz1558

I am in possession of a powerpoint presentation that proves the wonderment of chocolate, I should pass it on.....

11:04 am

Scarlet

LOL... it's redemptive to go against the known universe, FM!! Of course, peri!

11:04 am

montreal13

clues anyone for that PS word ?

11:04 am

Haz1558

He's married, FM. The good ones always are.

11:04 am

Scarlet

11:05 am

caitlyn

Good afternoon all..........

11:05 am

periwinkle

hey what happened to Spangle, Haz?

11:05 am

Haz1558

montreal - ps,4 - as used in books to indicate that someone wants your attention.

11:05 am

Ogdens Nut

Don't worry Haz, there's not enough there to take any Grecian!

11:05 am

jbp

ps, getting someone's attention, snakelike

11:05 am

joso

ps, opening word when whispering in a theater

11:05 am

Haz1558

Spangle is fine, peri. I just found this card for Scarlet yesterday to feed her chocolate fever.

11:05 am

Sandieangel

ar5/12 anyone plz?

11:05 am

montreal13

thank you all ! - didn't realise it was a word...

Haz1558

So, you don't look like Donald Trump, then, Zen?

11:06 am

montreal13

11:06 am

joso

ps, vowels, we don't need any stinking vowels

11:06 am

periwinkle

*having* trouble even :-)

11:07 am

Haz1558

ar5/12 - begins and ends with the same vowel, structured the same as the sports stadium but exchange one consonant for a higher scoring one.

11:07 am

Scarlet

Must go see my neighbor's new Subaru.... See you all later, Babblers. And here:

11:07 am

Ogdens Nut

Has the absence of thick flowing locks put you off then, FM ?

11:07 am

FMitch

ar5/12 = use the ar4/4 and insert cons before last letter

11:07 am

jbp

thanks Haz

11:07 am

Haz1558

Peri - I'll get my glasses on and transcribe it for you.

11:07 am

Scarlet

Chocolate Truffle Pie

1 c sugar
10 oz semisweet or bittersweet choc (I use chips, or you can break up chunks)
2 (1 oz) squares unsweetened choc
2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter
5 eggs

Combine 3/4 c sugar and 1/3 cup water and boil in microwave. Stir in semisweet and unsweetened choc's and butter until melted.
Beat eggs and remaining 1/4 c sugar on high speed until almost double in volume. Stir egg mix into choc mix until well blended.
Turn into greased and parchment-lined springform pan or, as I prefer, a round silicone pan. Set pan in larger baking pan so that you can add enough water to the outer pan to reach 1 inch up the side of the inner pan. (If you use a springform and it doesn't have a tight seal, it will leak and the corners of your pie will be a little mushy, hence the silicone pan works better for me. But springform may allow it to be prettier upon removal.)
Bake 40-45 minutes in preheated 350 oven, or until it's set. Cool in pan, refrigerate overnight or several hours.
Remove carefully. Serve with whipped cream or rasberry sauce, or garnish with berries or mint, or do any combination of the above!

11:08 am

periwinkle

:-)

11:08 am

Scarlet

Tee-hee, FMitch... 50 pounds notwithstanding... I'll mail it to you, peri!

11:08 am

11:11 am

hetty

Cait, I love you

11:11 am

Haz1558

A fragment of a dream. And in my chocolate kingdom they brought me great mountains of chocolate and thereof did I eat. And it did not make me feel ill or ashamed, neither did it put weight on my thighs. For the chocolate was health-giving and nourishing, and the more I ate, the more beautiful I became.

11:11 am

Scarlet

HI, caitlyn... no stomping. *hugs*

4:55 pm

featherbee

4:55 pm

inge

Just passing through, since I did not have time to watch the video this morning when I finished. Came back to see that amazing video. I understand a bit of what that Daniel is experiencing.

4:56 pm

hurshy

hi

4:57 pm

stidmama

I am guessing on the video feather, haven't got there yet, of course!

4:57 pm

hurshy

maybe the video has someone daniel's age in it

4:57 pm

featherbee

we're waiting for the pizza delivery guy...aka doug

hurshy

stidmama

sorry craggus, don't have that one...

5:01 pm

hurshy

5:01 pm

featherbee

it's the grid that's ending up being dropped really, slow going

5:01 pm

stidmama

:-D the grid isn't overly easy today I think

5:01 pm

featherbee

poop, i don't know that name

5:02 pm

craggus

5:02 pm

stidmama

I haven't watched any Ocean movies yet

hurshy

5:03 pm

stidmama

5:03 pm

featherbee

ohh, i was missing the plural in the middle of htat word. ty babrab, i had guessed that, but without that middle letter it didn't work!

5:03 pm

stidmama

I want to... but just haven't found the time. They're on our netflix wishlist.

5:03 pm

stidmama

thanks also BR!

5:04 pm

hurshy

5:04 pm

hurshy

what is the point total today please?

5:04 pm

stidmama

well, I just got past halfway with that one, but lack an E from the bottom right. are they fishy, or???

5:04 pm

featherbee

i was waiting a second to make sure nick didn't do any more, (as he likes to do to me as i'm fastening up the new diaper) and daniel says "he kicked his blanket off...he's cold" and put the blanket on him again. 1-2-3, "awwwwww!"

5:04 pm

Dorens

hey all... happy friday

5:05 pm

stidmama

nevermind, found one! to the list!

5:05 pm

o-o

Hello, stid .. haven't watched a movie since 1997. No television since 1998

2304

5:05 pm

stidmama

happy Friday to you also Dorens! huzzah! another week under our belts!

5:05 pm

stidmama

wow BR --- good for you!

5:05 pm

hurshy

ok so that means i need 27 points

5:05 pm

hurshy

so the four is odd

5:05 pm

stidmama

but you're online, so obviously not boycotting all technology?

5:06 pm

stidmama

heigh-ho, to the list I go!

5:06 pm

featherbee

bbl

5:06 pm

stidmama

later feather

5:06 pm

Dorens

were you in school this week stid, getting those cute little first graders in lne?

5:06 pm

hurshy

that is a lot for a four and a five. does anyone have either a C word with an x in it or a P word with an X in it?

5:07 pm

lynxxx

ca5.22 Hursh

5:07 pm

o-o

ca 5,22

5:07 pm

stidmama

oh boy was I Dorens! and hauling one malingerer out of the bathroom when he went (for the third time before first recess) and took too long
!

5:07 pm

Dorens

not I, but then again i only am halfway hurshy

5:07 pm

inge

yes Hursh, ca 5/22 has an x

5:07 pm

stidmama

little bugger was having a conversation with another kid in there!

5:07 pm

hurshy

thank!

5:07 pm

Dorens

social life is very importnat stid. thanks br

5:07 pm

stidmama

ooh. got that CA -- thanks!

5:08 pm

inge

off to cook. *poof*

5:08 pm

o-o

do you have that all consonant p 4?

5:08 pm

stidmama

apparently more important than getting the instructions for the work... why is it always the slow learners who do this? (rhetorical question, no answer expected)

5:09 pm

hurshy

ah, and i finish with the onomatopoeic word.

5:09 pm

stidmama

YAY hurshy!!!!

5:09 pm

Dorens

(i meant to be tongue in cheek with that Stid, even if I am a guidance counselor.

5:09 pm

Dorens

Yay hurshy!

5:09 pm

hurshy

what a lag - i got it before you posted, but you guessed right brabble.

5:10 pm

stidmama

I know Dorens, just feeling frustrated... one wouldn't have thought first graders would already hate school so much... *sigh*

5:10 pm

hurshy

well stid, maybe they have older siblings who have programmed them badly

5:11 pm

hurshy

or maybe they just get mad at having to get up early.

5:11 pm

stidmama

that could be... kids are complicated creatures!

5:11 pm

Dorens

it does get tougher every year.... more and more who just don't seem to have the right attitude. ( and more with parents who have programmed them badly. there must be a mathematical model to explain exponentially how it progresses)

5:11 pm

hurshy

or maybe they feel stupid and frustrated with school.

5:11 pm

o-o

Sun is shining .. windy and cold but the sun is such a day-brightener

5:12 pm

hurshy

the sun was shining on the sea, shining with all his might
he did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright
and this was odd because it was the middle of the night

5:12 pm

Dorens

true br, sun does make a big difference

5:12 pm

stidmama

it is sunny at the moment here too, BR. Not a bad day, overall. Need to vacuum the heat ducts this weekend though... can't hold out much longer without the furnace

5:13 pm

hurshy

the moon was shining sulkily because she thought the sun
had got no right to be in the sky after the day was done
"it isn't fair of him," she said, "to come and spoil the fun."

5:15 pm

hurshy

oops i misremembered a bit of that stanza, now that i look it up.

5:15 pm

featherbee

little stinker did it to me anyway! didn't even get him off the changing table

5:15 pm

stidmama

rofl feather.... *imagination runs wild*

5:15 pm

hurshy

well at least you don't have to lift him back on then

5:15 pm

featherbee

pooped in the sparkling fresh diaper

5:16 pm

o-o

what is the name of it, hurshy?

5:16 pm

featherbee

wasn't on him more than 5 seconds

5:16 pm

hurshy

the walrus and the carpenter

5:16 pm

hurshy

but they don't come into it until the fourth stanza

5:16 pm

hurshy

the third is the funniest i think

5:17 pm

featherbee

pizza's here! bbl again

5:17 pm

stidmama

I got all the EX words by myself!

5:17 pm

stidmama

later feather...

5:17 pm

hurshy

the sea was wet as wet could be,
the sands were dry as dry
you could not see a cloud because
no clouds were in the sky
no birds were flying overhead
there were no birds to fly

5:17 pm

Flask1

Hi all....clues please for the cr6/21..7/32 combo??

5:17 pm

Dorens

how many are there stid? (still listless)

5:18 pm

stidmama

flask: make a line in fabricwith a fold, and plural

5:18 pm

stidmama

there are four EX words

5:18 pm

Dorens

cr + e4/4 flask

5:18 pm

Flask1

thanx stid

5:18 pm

Dorens

ah, that's the ex*** number i have, stid!

5:19 pm

stidmama

yw :-)

5:19 pm

hurshy

i was able to do the whole grid listless with not much trouble, so you can do it too dorens!

5:19 pm

hurshy

of course the most famous stanza is

5:19 pm

joanne0334

grrr hush

5:19 pm

joanne0334

hursh too

5:20 pm

stidmama

AHA! a word with no vowels... (I hate those)

5:20 pm

Dorens

oh don't start hurshy!!! i have 74 left and can't imagine where they are.. and I want to read tonight after the treadmill.. can't spend all night here (tho i do enjoy it)

5:20 pm

Flask1

ok...that me done......goodnight to you all!!

5:20 pm

Dorens

hooray for flask.. and goodnight

5:20 pm

stidmama

Dorens, are you walking and babbling at the same time? *goggly eyes*

5:21 pm

stidmama

YAY flask!!! sweet dreams

5:21 pm

Dorens

that would b something stid... no, need to treadmill after babble (and get dinner in somewhere as well).

5:22 pm

hurshy

"the time has come," the walrus said,
"to talk of many things
of shoes and ships and sealing wax
of cabbages and kings
and why the sea is boiling hot
and whether pigs have wings"

5:22 pm

stidmama

oh, I see! I wonder if I could hook a treadmill to a generator and get exercise and words in at the same time? i used to read while doing the ellipticals...

5:23 pm

Dorens

reading and babbling do require different muscles, stid. wow. if I could babble and exercise at the same time, i sure would exercise more

5:24 pm

stidmama

that's how I am too dorens, not much of one to listen to stuff, I can't learn a thing that way. But put a book in front of me and I am like a donkey with a carrot!

5:25 pm

stidmama

well, down to 21, and half an hour before kids begin to come home. Going to take a little napperoo. back later to finish.

5:25 pm

Dorens

i'll probably still be here, stid, if i don't go to the list (63 now)

5:25 pm

hurshy

gee, talk about lag

5:25 pm

hurshy

oh my post got lost

5:26 pm

hurshy

i said dorens, really, you can do it, the whole grid took me an hour and a half, tops

5:26 pm

Dorens

hurshy, that would translate to three hours for me!

5:27 pm

hurshy

and thou objecteth to spending three hours babbling?

5:28 pm

Dorens

oh hurshy, i would happily babble for fie hours ( and have done so), but I have a bunch of stuff that needs to get done thee days... being back to school cuts down on my time. and I must accomplish a couple of goals beyond the grid

5:29 pm

hurshy

what is three hours but an eighth of a day? and what is an eighth? an eighth of a cup is two tablespoons. are you saying it's not worth two spoonfuls of sugar to make the listless medicine go down?

5:29 pm

hurshy

i just goof around dorens, don't mind me :)

5:29 pm

Dorens

i will complete the grid, but can't really afford more than two hours. (56)

5:29 pm

hurshy

how much time have you spent so far?

5:29 pm

Dorens

but you know, i do like the challenge.

5:30 pm

Dorens

hm... been outside from time to time with a few garden chores, been home about an hour I guess

5:31 pm

LeslieAnn

i am trying listless too, dorens, maybe we can help each other out :(

5:31 pm

hurshy

i still think you can do it :) :) :)

5:31 pm

LeslieAnn

whoops meant to be happy :)

5:31 pm

hurshy

AND you have the hurshmeister to play GWDIM and GWLAIM

5:31 pm

Dorens

thanks lesleyann and hurshy... good cheerleaders here. I really do love this place

5:31 pm

Dorens

hmmmm a new challenge? GWDIM?

5:31 pm

LeslieAnn

yes! you're looking very psych-ic today, hursh

5:31 pm

hurshy

well, you can't play that one dorens.

5:32 pm

hurshy

you can play all the other ones though.

5:32 pm

hurshy

ty leslie :)

5:32 pm

Dorens

now i'm confused. not that it takes much to confuse me thesse days

5:32 pm

hurshy

ok the original game was GWHIM (Guess What Hurshy Is Missing)

5:33 pm

hurshy

and you can figure it out from there.

5:33 pm

Dorens

ooooooh, i have played that game

5:34 pm

hurshy

tis a good game, i think

5:34 pm

hurshy

and i excel at GW_IM

5:34 pm

Dorens

must admit the first few times I played,, I wondered why you did that. but now I know (all to well)

5:34 pm

LeslieAnn

for example, i'm missing one e from the 2nd one in the bottom row... have what houdini does

5:35 pm

hurshy

past tense

5:35 pm

Dorens

i have both them la, but not sure which the other was

5:35 pm

hurshy

no sorry

5:35 pm

hurshy

dizzy here

5:35 pm

Dorens

ah yes, and i won't try anymore

5:35 pm

hurshy

snails, *****got

5:36 pm

LeslieAnn

aha thanks hursh

5:36 pm

hurshy

people did not understand about GWHIM. see i LOVE to play for other people, and i didn't mean for anybody to play if they did not love it too.

5:37 pm

LeslieAnn

i understood, i thought it was a fun game.

5:37 pm

hurshy

and then some people would play who were, well, let's face it, NOT very good, and it would just clog up the chat

5:37 pm

Dorens

i think a lot of us do like to clue, and that just adds another dimension to cluing

5:37 pm

LeslieAnn

it helped that you were always very gracious about thanking us

5:38 pm

hurshy

not that i don't clog up the chat all the time anyway

5:38 pm

hurshy

i gived you a thousand points per word! lol

5:38 pm

Dorens

my only problem is figuring out which spot a word originated from... still not very good at that.. but i'm not bad at guessing the missing words

5:39 pm

hurshy

and you have read my guide to boxes, dorens?

5:39 pm

Dorens

yes, and i do understand it in theory, but it doesn't come easily to me

5:40 pm

hurshy

perhaps my guide needs improving

5:40 pm

Dorens

perhaps my BRAIN needs improving, hehe

5:41 pm

hurshy

how many to go now, D and LA?

5:41 pm

Dorens

too many 50

5:41 pm

LeslieAnn

5:45 pm

LeslieAnn

i'm missing one g in the fourth row... have the two that sound like the birds related to ducksa

5:45 pm

Dorens

(feel like those people who get on and immediately ask for clues for the biggies)

5:45 pm

LeslieAnn

5:45 pm

Biltong

LeslieAnn

5:47 pm

hurshy

(sorry, i ran off to sudoku

Dorens

5:49 pm

Dorens

5:49 pm

LeslieAnn

the root is ge + abbr. for a road. then add the second vowel for another word. the root also has a plural

5:49 pm

Dorens

ah was missing the last one. thanks

5:50 pm

hurshy

dorens, did you get all the g's now?

5:51 pm

hurshy

5:51 pm

Dorens

5:51 pm

hurshy

5:52 pm

Dorens

5:53 pm

hurshy

5:53 pm

Dorens

5:54 pm

Dorens

5:54 pm

Dorens

5:54 pm

hurshy

LeslieAnn

5:55 pm

Dorens

5:55 pm

hurshy

christmas isn't christmas without a grinch watching and a white christmas watching and an it's a wonderful life watching and a christmas carol reading

5:55 pm

Dorens

but at least i'm down to 37--- need to take a break and change laundry.

5:55 pm

hurshy

5:56 pm

hurshy

5:56 pm

hurshy

6:05 pm

Mom

hi everyone

6:06 pm

hurshy

hi mom, it's a little quiet at the moment

6:07 pm

Mom

It is very quiet. So unusual

6:07 pm

Haz1558

Have all the Brits gone to bed?

6:07 pm

hurshy

i must have scared everyone away

6:07 pm

Mom

How are you doing Hurshy?

6:07 pm

Mom

Hi Haz

6:07 pm

hurshy

haz, you give the answer by asking the question

6:07 pm

Haz1558

Good evening all.

6:07 pm

Dorens

you certainly scared me! (29)

6:07 pm

hurshy

i am ok at the moment mom

6:08 pm

Dorens

hi haz and mom

6:08 pm

Haz1558

Is that a good thing, hurshy? Efficient?

6:08 pm

Mom

:), you have been in my thoughts.

6:08 pm

hurshy

yes, efficient, but put me in a quandary

6:08 pm

hurshy

thank you mom

6:09 pm

Haz1558

A quandary? Is that a questionable spelling or a US thing?

6:09 pm

hurshy

why, how do you spell it?

6:09 pm

Mom

**heating up the tea pot and coffee** **sets out plates for banana nut bread**

6:10 pm

Haz1558

Seeking confirmation from the dictionary.

6:10 pm

hurshy

how very mom-ish

6:10 pm

Haz1558

Help! I'm wrong, you're right. I should go to bed as well.

6:11 pm

Mom

:), it is one of my down falls. lol

6:11 pm

hurshy

no haz, we don't want you to go

6:11 pm

Haz1558

But I can't even spell and I'm telling others how to. Wrongly.

6:12 pm

hurshy

but i didn't fall for it, you see.

6:12 pm

Mom

Please stay Haz

6:12 pm

Haz1558

Well challenged!

6:13 pm

Dorens

for what it's worth, i thought it was quandry at first too, haz

6:13 pm

hurshy

pronunciation can be so misleading.

6:14 pm

Haz1558

It looks right..

6:14 pm

Ogdens Nut

Haz, I have just nipped in to finish off the grid, and what do I find ?!!!!!!

6:14 pm

Haz1558

Tell me?

6:14 pm

hurshy

i think he finds haz

6:15 pm

Ogdens Nut

Are you letting the Ballymena standards slip ?

6:16 pm

Haz1558

Isn't it awful?

6:17 pm

Ogdens Nut

You mustn't be right at this time of night...

6:17 pm

Haz1558

I'll blame the time - you back me up, Zen.

6:18 pm

Haz1558

So, have you finished the grid, Zen?

6:19 pm

Ogdens Nut

Yes, it is after midnight and therefore it is tomorrow, so I will let you off and not tell FMitch

6:20 pm

hurshy

after midnight... we gonna let it all hang out

6:20 pm

Haz1558

Thank goodness. She goes to bed early so if you keep quiet about it, she may never know.

6:20 pm

EspritdJean

hang down

6:20 pm

FMitch

Ha thats what you think!!

6:20 pm

Ogdens Nut

Yes, I had just popped back to finish with the As

6:21 pm

FMitch

Just shutting things down now actually :)

6:21 pm

Jacula

Caught you!

6:21 pm

hurshy

oh-oh, haz is for it now!

6:21 pm

Haz1558

Good grief. Can I get nothing right tonight?

6:21 pm

hurshy

thanks jean, my disco is weak.

6:22 pm

EspritdJean

:-)

6:22 pm

Haz1558

Well, at least I wasn't saying anything about you, Fmtich. You're up later than usual?

6:22 pm

Ogdens Nut

Oh dear, FMitch was here all along...

6:22 pm

FMitch

LOL dear Haz I am half asleep and will leave you in pe5/14.
Took me ages to wind down. Hi Zen

6:22 pm

EspritdJean

I try to stave off the alzheimer's by playing musical games in my head

6:22 pm

Haz1558

mitch. My fingers won't cooperate.

6:22 pm

Jacula

Fmtich must be FM's sister?

6:22 pm

Mom

good night FMitch

6:23 pm

FMitch

ITs the shock of seeing me at this time of night. Night all and see you soon *yawn*

6:23 pm

Haz1558

You could stay and play and we could get you all wakened up again.

6:23 pm

Ogdens Nut

Hi FM, have sweet dreams tonight of 6 foot 1 men......

6:24 pm

Jacula

'Night, FMitch. I only popped in to add a video link to my bio.

6:24 pm

Haz1558

Steady on, Zen.

6:24 pm

hurshy

no fmitch, she forgot how quandary is spelt BEFORE she saw you

6:24 pm

Haz1558

Good night FMitch - sleep well.

6:24 pm

FMitch

lol Zen you naughty thing. *poof*

6:26 pm

Ogdens Nut

Oh well, I'll be off too then and dream of tall women and then petite ones - goodnight all

6:26 pm

Haz1558

And again I say, steady on Zen.

6:26 pm

Mom

good night Zenmed

6:26 pm

Haz1558

Goodnight Zen - sleep well!

6:27 pm

Jacula

Goodnight, Zen.

6:27 pm

Ogdens Nut

It must be the time of night Haz

6:28 pm

Ogdens Nut

And goodnight everyone....

6:28 pm

Haz1558

It must be. I've just realised that I have sunglasses perched on top of my head. Who put them thee?

6:28 pm

Mom

lol Haz ... and how long have they been there?

6:28 pm

Haz1558

there. I'm losing my mind.

6:28 pm

Haz1558

I don't know, Mom, that's the scary thing. Did I go out with them on?

6:29 pm

Haz1558

It wouldn't be a problem if it was nice weather, but I would have looked silly today.

6:29 pm

Mom

mmmm, probably. You would think someone would have told you

6:30 pm

Mom

a new fashion statement

6:30 pm

Haz1558

I'm used to pitying looks and sniggers so it wouldn't have been anything unusual.

6:30 pm

Mom

lol Haz

6:31 pm

Haz1558

You'd think the dog would have indicated something.

6:31 pm

Mom

the dog probably thought you looked cute that way

6:31 pm

Jacula

It's been raining for most of the day here - no need for sunglasses.

6:31 pm

Mom

if you would like to get rid of the rain, we sure could use it.

6:32 pm

Jacula

Haz - if Spangle was grinning at you...

6:32 pm

Haz1558

It hasn't been raining, but it hasn't been bright either. I reckon I've just picked them up and put them on this evening. That'll be it.

6:32 pm

Jacula

Mom - I believe it's set to rain all weekend. I'd love to send you some... if I could.

6:33 pm

Mom

we would love it. We have only mowed twice the entire summer

6:33 pm

Haz1558

We could mow twice a week here if it would stop raining.

6:33 pm

Jacula

Haz - perhaps you meant to put them away and just put them on your head as you finished some other task, and then forgot? (It's her age, you know!):D

6:33 pm

Mom

:)

6:34 pm

Haz1558

Anything's possible, Jacula. I can't blame FM for this one.

6:34 pm

pam

Hi, all

6:34 pm

Jacula

Nope. Did you finish the grid, btw. Haz?

6:34 pm

Haz1558

Hello pam.

6:35 pm

Jacula

Hello, pam. We were just discussing whether Haz is losing her marbles.

6:35 pm

Mom

Hi Pam :)

6:35 pm

Haz1558

Yes, I finished this afternoon and am just hanging around being a nuisance.

6:35 pm

hurshy

hello pam-i-am

6:36 pm

Mom

never a nuisance, Haz

6:36 pm

Jacula

Haz - I meant to ask you, did you watch 'The Dinner Party' on TV the other night? It was hailed as the modern version of 'Abigail's Party'. If so, whay do you think of it?

6:37 pm

stidmama

hi again. back to get my last 21...

6:37 pm

Jacula

*what not whay.LOL

6:37 pm

hurshy

unless maybe we slip and fall on the marbles...

6:37 pm

Mom

Hi Stid :)

6:37 pm

Jacula

LOL, hursh.

6:37 pm

Haz1558

You're very kind, Mom. Jacula, I didn't watch it. What did you think of it?

6:38 pm

stidmama

AR 5/12 please? the one after "places" 5/10

6:38 pm

Jacula

I found it uncomfortable viewing, Haz. I don't think it bore any resemblance to the excellent 'Abigail's Party' other than that Alison Steadman was in it.

6:38 pm

hurshy

a + again + the golden state

6:38 pm

pam

Hi, Jac and Hursh

stidmama

6:39 pm

Jacula

Not really, stid.

6:39 pm

6:39 pm

hurshy

6:39 pm

Mom

no Stid

6:39 pm

hurshy

it's a normal word

6:39 pm

Jacula

6:40 pm

Jacula

Oops! ca4/5

6:40 pm

hurshy

6:51 pm

Mom

I do have a good time. I am learning lots of things

6:52 pm

lbdawger

well done mom! quilting and crocheting, sounds like a lot of work

6:52 pm

Mom

our library sponsors it and best of all is that it is free.

6:52 pm

Mom

except for your materials

6:52 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone.

6:52 pm

stidmama

that's wonderful. it would be fun to do something like that someday.

6:52 pm

Mom

Hi LBD, not really. It tends to be relaxing.

6:53 pm

stidmama

hi LBD! how are you?

6:53 pm

lbdawger

my sister goes to classes like those, but i think the craft shops put them on.

6:53 pm

stidmama

how's hubby-dawg today?

6:53 pm

lbdawger

hi stid, i'm fine, got a sick hubby tho. :-(

6:53 pm

Mom

6:53 pm

stidmama

6:54 pm

Mom

oh LBD, so sorry hubby is not feeling good

6:54 pm

lbdawger

I'll be sure to tell him he's sharing his germs cyberly. lol

6:54 pm

stidmama

6:54 pm

Mom

there is banana bread on the counter with coffee and tea. Last one out, please turn off the lights. Hugs to all of you

6:54 pm

lbdawger

i think he relapsed yesterday, but too stubborn to stay home and really get well.

6:55 pm

Mom

oh Stid, that is terrible

6:55 pm

stidmama

men can be so exasperating!

6:55 pm

lbdawger

6:55 pm

Mom

bye Stid, pleasant dreams

6:55 pm

pam

and sorry about your husband, lbd

6:56 pm

stidmama

yes, he is not too happy. but it's kinda funny -- he climbs 40 ft trees and breaks it stepping/jumping over a low rope fence

6:56 pm

lbdawger

he's out cold in his recliner. i'll go throw a blanket on him in a few minutes

6:56 pm

stidmama

*shrug* I think there may not be enough bubble wrap...

6:56 pm

stidmama

part of it is just he is growing SO FAST that his brain forgets how far down his legs go!

6:57 pm

lbdawger

Cadfan's boy broke his arm again too. do you think the two boys are wearing out the same guardian angel?

6:57 pm

stidmama

oh poor cadfan... and poor little guy... I suspect that angel is working overtime...

6:58 pm

stidmama

imagine what we might have to deal with if she weren't standing guard!

6:59 pm

lbdawger

I think you and cadfan need to call in some reinforcements for those angels. those boys are gonna wear them out! Cadfan's boy is in high school

6:59 pm

stidmama

yes, teens are somewhat klutzy....

7:00 pm

stidmama

I am looking forward to having both of mine reach adulthood and becoming responsible for their own health.

7:00 pm

lbdawger

was just thinking back on my son...yup, shoulda bought stock in bandaids, duct tape and neosporin

7:01 pm

stidmama

*grin* yep. I know that feeling

7:01 pm

stidmama

and now he's a daddy... how is the grandkid doing these days LBD?

7:01 pm

lbdawger

but it is nice to know that they do grow out of most of that klutzi-ness

7:02 pm

lbdawger

grandkid is jabbering and taking over the world! lol

7:02 pm

stidmama

good to hear it! :-)

7:03 pm

stidmama

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, dawger. An annual trip to New England fell through for a bunch of us, so I decided to take the week off anyway and stay at home. It has been nice to do that.

7:45 pm

I was addicted to scrabble during my first pregnancy. I drove all our friends crazy looking for partners

8:12 pm

featherbee

you found an article about her sis? what does it say?

8:13 pm

herinfernallady

Yes but i dont know how shed feel about it being discussed like a news item. I think i should have just remained silent (shit my bad)

8:14 pm

lbdawger

this is the news article on Fran's sister

8:14 pm

saphyre

hi everyone - just read the chat....very sad - my prayers are with Fran and her family

8:14 pm

featherbee

ty dawg. herin, i see it more like this way she won't have to go through the explanations with us

8:15 pm

pam

Thanks, lbd. Was just searching

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

Thats true. Thanks LB. I just dont know what to say. I found the article as i was looking for something else.

8:16 pm

inge

If you go to google and type in hit-and-run accient on Guam, you get most of the facts

8:16 pm

featherbee

oh man, that stinks. i had a feeling, from her phrasing to me "hit by a car and didn't survive" that it was something like that, where she died a while after the accident. so terribly sad.

8:18 pm

herinfernallady

Feather it does suck royally. I dont know what to say. I i i i (blabber on)

8:18 pm

pam

did you read the comments? Man, it sounds SO provincial! My heart aches for the family.

8:18 pm

lbdawger

herin, there isn't much to say. hope they catch whomever was driving the car.

8:19 pm

lbdawger

Pam, i did read those comments. provincial...yeah that's one way to describe it.

8:19 pm

featherbee

it doesn't matter what she was doing where. the driver should have had the decency to stop and help.

8:20 pm

featherbee

brb

8:21 pm

pam

Blaming the victim chaps my butt.

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

Those sort of negative comments make my blood boil. If you hit an animal most people stop but a person to be left to die on the side of the road like garbage fks me right off

8:23 pm

lbdawger

i agree with both of you. i just hope that person never has to have his/her life opened to public comment.

8:23 pm

herinfernallady

There is other comments on an older news article about an unnamed person This sums it up 'My point: show some respect, the woman is dead.'

8:27 pm

herinfernallady

Ok most people are being human on the actual news posts there is just a few complete insensitive dickx

8:27 pm

herinfernallady

Any how frans family have been in my mind since this happened

8:28 pm

lbdawger

those are the ones you have to pity. They are quick to draw conclusions about the worst in others; if only they'd stop and look in the mirror with those same accusations.

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

I dont know if you remember my friends little bro was killed in a car accident, it was initially written off as 'his fault' but it turns out someone may have caused the accident and ran. This is why im so cranky about Frans situation

8:33 pm

8:42 pm

I'm old! The summer has kicked my aged butt. That's why i haven't been around... we had drought here, I was in the yard watering all blessed day every day. Came in, fell asleep, night after night, like a farmer.

10:48 pm

chic

Nut where are you?

10:48 pm

tragicstud

i'd kinda like to see there be trans options, but...

10:48 pm

Ankhorite

I know some poly people who use it, guess I should have known OKC would be more welcoming than eHarmony.

10:48 pm

evanonut

10:50 pm

tragicstud

no, just quite trans-friendly

10:50 pm

Ankhorite

I already blurted out the exact same question to someone RL this week... I have the manners of a goat.

10:50 pm

tragicstud

heh- in the future you can ask what pronouns they use

10:50 pm

Ankhorite

Owl, play what? the grid?

10:51 pm

tragicstud

10:51 pm

Ping

maybe aim, owl?

10:51 pm

Ankhorite

Heh! No, I know that device. What it is, is my neighbor in my non-lez-friendly neighborhood was over. And she raised the issue of trans, and the way she raised it suggested she was thinking about it, and without thinking about my manners, I just... blurted.

10:52 pm

tragicstud

ahh...

10:52 pm

tragicstud

yeah- well... i've been asked like 10 times this week in "real life"

10:52 pm

tragicstud

not sure what it's about...

10:53 pm

Ankhorite

I couldn't unsay it, but it was okay, she just laughed. She was the one who brought it up. Her partner calls her "husband" so I thought, you know, well maybe? I don't know many lesbian pairs that say husb/wife.

11:40 pm

babbz

say, i have a question for you babblers around the world. Are your street intersections being blessed (!) with cameras that give you automatic tickets if you don't stop before the white line when driving?

11:41 pm

Minveryork

I am doing well babbz. I signed on late so won't finish.

11:41 pm

babbz

me either min - i've got 30 left so it'll be close

11:41 pm

Minveryork

Fortunately, it has not happened to met yet babbz.

11:42 pm

Minveryork

I have 13 left, but don't really care if I finish tonight.

11:42 pm

joso

babz, a few corrners, not all by far.

11:42 pm

babbz

i probably didn't phrase that right - i meant that the cameras record people who don't stop before the white line at a red light and you end up getting a ticket in the mail for $100!!!

11:43 pm

helenkeller

well, that was a fascinating video - i was kinda bored by the beginning, but i'm glad i watched the whole thing - amazing

11:43 pm

babbz

This scares the snot out of me. - HK are they putting these cameras in Chicago?

11:44 pm

helenkeller

babbz - they are here & my friend works as a hearing officer for these cases

11:45 pm

joso

yes, got the idea, we have at maybe 1 in 200 corners, high accedent corrners only so far, but you can see the thin edge of the wedge.

11:45 pm

helenkeller

there's one on an intersection near my house & it's really stopped people going through the red light which i like

11:46 pm

babbz

oh no kidding? I just can't believe how they are popping up everywhere. It has turned me into one paranoid driver, second guessing myself at every stop. I HATE them!! I can see giving a ticket to someone who runs the red light but they are giving tickets to people who stop but whose bumper goes slightly over the white line. Also lots of right turn on red lights.

11:46 pm

jwr

guess the eyes-in-the-sky have reached the outskirts of town. I understand from friends on the right (directionally speaking) side of the Atlantic, they've been in vogue for a decade or more -- not just for traffic but for all kinds of surveillance. Welcome to the world of George Orwell.

11:46 pm

helenkeller

although i strongly believe that if bad driving was handled they way it was when i was learning to drive ( in the 70's) that there would be fewer idiots who feel like they can do whatever they want

11:47 pm

Minveryork

Hello jwr! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

11:47 pm

babbz

Scarey, isn't it, jwr? I was reading where they were originally taking photos of people in the cars, too.

11:47 pm

helenkeller

& that is that there were cops everywhere giving tickets, so it was fear-based good driving, now these cops are either out shooting people, getting shot, or eating donuts

11:48 pm

babbz

true dat, helenkeller - around here everyone thinks where they have to go is infinitely more important than where you have to go, lol!

11:48 pm

helenkeller

i hear that!

11:48 pm

G-Ma

jayferg..how are you doing?

11:48 pm

babbz

Did I tell you all my son got hired as a police officer out in Wyoming? He's currently in the police academy.

11:49 pm

jayferg

Is that you Mom??

11:49 pm

Minveryork

I have 7 left and would like to finish before flip,so I'm going to rapidly ask for clues. I hope you don't mind!

11:49 pm

G-Ma

yes

11:49 pm

babbz

He got maced the other day and apparently will get tasered too. He said the mace was the worst pain he's ever been in in his life and he has no plans to ever mace anyone ever, unless someone is trying to kill him

11:49 pm

jwr

Hi Minver -- just leaving, actually. I'm giving up with 31 left, the furthest I've gotten so far (and proud OF it!) but I had to put my tuppence-worth in. See ya all next grid.

11:49 pm

helenkeller

although, i always try to think that maybe they actually may have someplace very important to get to - i think back when i was called to the hospital, my mom was dying & i went through every red light i came to, probably a dozen - of course, it was 4 am & the streets were empty

11:49 pm

Minveryork

Hello G-Ma! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

11:50 pm

G-Ma

I only have 40

11:50 pm
