1:53 am

FranMag

LOL katie!

1:53 am

chic

ah! thanx Jilli! Byee all!

1:53 am

dcseain

oh, dear, so that's 2 whom you know then from these fires, lady. that's awful.

1:53 am

FranMag

those fires are something else

1:54 am

dcseain

yes, an only one contained from what i heard on the news last evening

1:54 am

sprite

JoSo, I have no such thoughts about your ego! I am under the impression you know quite well who you are and what you are worth! Sorry if I sounded like I doubted that.

1:54 am

FranMag

katie, those plastic covers probably whack you in the face!

1:54 am

KatieMcG

We haven't seen much of them over here, but they were saying that 500,000 had been evacuated, it much be awful

1:54 am

chic

no herin, i can handle being PC-less for 2 days...I really can......

1:54 am

herinfernallady

It is but 1300 homes plus there is a high possibility someone you know will have lost their home

1:54 am

sprite

katie, it burns and gives you burns, no doubt about it ;)

1:54 am

jillibus

thank goodness the weather has changed a bit in CA -- and the word's biggest water bomber from Vancouver Island is there

1:54 am

herinfernallady

You keep saying that Chic

1:55 am

KatieMcG

Fran, this is my worry. On the bright side I know life is good if it is the only thing I have to worry about :-)

1:55 am

dcseain

good point, lady. esp since 20% of all people in this country live in California.

1:55 am

FranMag

that's true katie...that and where castie has been for two days. :-)

1:55 am

herinfernallady

I thought we had the 2 water bombers Elvis and an other one for our fire season

1:56 am

dcseain

oh, California not the only place with fire season then?

1:56 am

KatieMcG

hey as long as she is back she can have as much fun as she likes ;-) must ring Hubby 2b and let him know that she came home :-)

1:56 am

BabbleRabble

1:56 am

rururocks

1:57 am

FranMag

ruru, ce + your exam can be written or **a*

1:57 am

sprite

it struck me as funny. Great that a usage of a word comes from mobile phone usage... language has such a great power of adaptability

1:58 am

jillibus

great clue, fran -- now I remember that babblet!

1:58 am

rururocks

thank you franny

1:58 am

FranMag

1:58 am

KatieMcG

I have a BlackBerry which has predictive text but a different key board to a phone, you can send some very strange emails!!

1:59 am

dcseain

i've never used predictive text w/blackberry, only w/my mobile

1:59 am

sprite

oh lol katie, that must create some funny things indeed

1:59 am

herinfernallady

Katie that is true. One of my friends gets royally annoyed when predictive text isnt checked before sending

2:00 am

sprite

valeta is a phantom

2:00 am

KatieMcG

I can't spell check on it either, so have to read things about 10 times if they are going to my bosses or anyone who might print it off

2:00 am

herinfernallady

Cant you download a spell check thing? like a macro which i have for this

2:00 am

BabbleRabble

an awol valeta

2:01 am

herinfernallady

The other idea is a pc suit to send via the phone

Jellen

Hi, Xanika

2:02 am

dcseain

hi, xanika!

2:02 am

KatieMcG

You probably could, but my company is a little retentive about security so I would be in trouble for downloading anything. I have a laptop but am not allowed to enable WiFi on it!!

2:03 am

jillibus

Hi Xanika -- how did it go today?

2:03 am

sprite

hi Xanika... how did it go at school?

Hello, Xanika

herinfernallady

Katie i have PC Suite for my Nokia im wondering if you could have the same for your phone

2:04 am

Xanika

Really well. Thanks for asking! I did feel the need to apologise to the principal though. And I didn't find out whether the kids were dealt any consequences. They are still going on camp.

2:04 am

herinfernallady

HEad desk

2:04 am

herinfernallady

Can someone tell me the point of the top row

2:04 am

jillibus

Xan! What did you have to apologise for?

2:05 am

sprite

pretty stupid, Xanika, but at least you had no trouble as you feared. I am glad for you.

2:05 am

KatieMcG

I only really need it for work herin, so they need to approve everything, we are not allowed WAP on the phone so a pc suit would send them over the edge!

2:05 am

dcseain

you apologised?

2:05 am

Xanika

Jili, for showing them the website, even though it was done with the intention of furthering their knowledge of words.

2:05 am

KatieMcG

apologised for what?

2:05 am

sprite

total points zero, lady

2:05 am

rururocks

fl 6?

2:05 am

FranMag

fl6 of broccoli

2:05 am

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Katie my b.fs work have sunk $30 000 on tech to improve the work but there is a better program and they arent going to write it off

2:06 am

Xanika

The kids seem to think I was suspended! I told them I had been sick.

2:06 am

rururocks

i hate brocoli...

2:06 am

dcseain

you showing them the site does not excuse their behaviour, and it's a useful tool..

2:06 am

rururocks

thank you

2:06 am

jillibus

And the brats still go to camp? No reprimands? Nothing for that atrocious behaviour seen around the wrold?

2:06 am

dcseain

brocolli is a fave of mine.

2:06 am

KatieMcG

you can have one of cauliflower as well if that is more to your taste ruru

2:06 am

herinfernallady

I hate Brussel Sprouts and Broc

2:06 am

Xanika

dc, I agreee!

2:07 am

Xanika

Yep, no wonder they behave the way they do!

2:07 am

herinfernallady

Sprite the top row is there to annoy me

2:07 am

KatieMcG

I love it my fav veg

2:07 am

dcseain

sigh. the things we need do.

2:07 am

sprite

I would really like to know which, if any, punishment those brats have gotten!

2:07 am

Xanika

Another thing, he said if I get phone calls from parents, then I am "on my own!"

2:07 am

jillibus

That prinicpal should be fired.

2:07 am

FranMag

i love broccoli, my kids will even eat it sometimes

2:07 am

dcseain

that's reasonable

2:07 am

sprite

the top row is telling us: get a life! Do other things than Babble!

2:08 am

sprite

the principal is an asshole, forgive my french

2:08 am

sprite

we all love broccoli here... but my kids eat about everything.

2:08 am

jillibus

Well, Xanica, I'm glad you're leaving that dreadful school

2:08 am

Xanika

Why I have resigned. Bring on the end of year!!!

2:09 am

herinfernallady

Xankia that is crap. SO he is allowing bullying and harrasment. Wonderful. If we acted like little crap heads outside of school we got in lots of trouble

2:09 am

herinfernallady

Sprite that had me stunned you and french :)

2:09 am

KatieMcG

OK so these were the trolls the other day. If you get phone calls from parents you ought to tell them exactly how their children behaved!! The principal clearly has no clue!!

2:09 am

jillibus

When does the school year end?

2:09 am

sprite

wtg Xanika! Hope there is something better waiting for you... can't be any worse, I bet.

2:09 am

herinfernallady

Oh the little grids are my fault. i should do my assignments

2:10 am

Xanika

The parents are well aware of how they behaved. They produced print outs of the chat log to try to incriminate me!

2:10 am

sprite

Xanika, keep a print of the log with you and read parents from it. Show them how their precious little darlings behave and how they show their upbringing to the whole world.

2:10 am

herinfernallady

Jill the school ends in about a month for year 12 students most of them are out now preparing for final exams

2:10 am

jillibus

To incriminate YOU????????

2:10 am

herinfernallady

Xankia thats funny if it wasnt serious

2:10 am

sprite

lol lady... I try to keep it clean here, but I can curse like a seaman ;)

2:10 am

Xanika

I finish on about 14 December.

2:11 am

jillibus

I think we should have a parting party for Xanika on Dec 14!

2:11 am

sprite

no chance there is anything in those logs to incriminate you, Xanika. Tell those parents I am thinking of pressing charges against them for threatening to rape me and my mother :)

2:11 am

joso

you have mail sprite

2:11 am

Xanika

SOunds good to me, Jili

2:11 am

dcseain

they used the log to incriminate you!? YOU were not the one threatening sexual assault at the people here, nor are you in any way responsible for that. sigh. I'm sure you'll find a better place to work.

2:11 am

sprite

JoSo, checking now!

2:12 am

2:14 am

Xanika

it was actually two nights for about 5 hours each night!

2:14 am

herinfernallady

Yep 4 hours of bs and these parents had the balls to complain. I got told off for saying shit at home at 13

2:14 am

BabbleRabble

the principal is an unprincipled toady and the parents do a disservice to their children not to hold them accountable for the choices they make

2:15 am

dcseain

i concur, babrab

2:15 am

Xanika

I don't even let my own kids say 'bum'

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Was anything said about emails sent to the school Xankia about the abhorrent behaviour

2:16 am

Xanika

Yes, the principal did mention them. He was more concerned about what I had done to the school's reputation.

2:16 am

dcseain

what *you* had done. sigh. stupid git.

2:17 am

herinfernallady

Oh yep cause you said "these children are from Bobs Highschool Bobsville' yep ahah that makes sense

2:17 am

Xanika

No, Herin, I did not mention the school's name, the kids did. And I reiterated this again and again to him

2:18 am

Xanika

I did, however, mention the suburb where I work.

2:18 am

herinfernallady

I think i may go talk to the wall id get more sense.

2:18 am

sprite

JoSo, I emailed back :)

2:18 am

joso

2:18 am

dcseain

2:19 am

dcseain

2:19 am

herinfernallady

Yes were is these stupid words hiding and why do i have an addiction to corn chips cheese home brand brand

2:19 am

2:20 am

Xanika

jillibus

2:20 am

BabbleRabble

What do pelicans eat?

2:20 am

sprite

that principal is all BabbleRabble just said and I totally concur with the disservice the parents do their kids. I do wish you had not showed the site to the kids, Xanika, but it was well intended. All the rest, we have to blame those kids for, and their parents, and that lousy principal. Not you.

2:21 am

BabbleRabble

Anything that fits the bill.

2:21 am

Not too bad sprite. Had flu too but gone now, Cricket season over and trying hard to get into housework mode......struggling with that one.

2:37 am

yeah, came down with it hard yesterday. Slept a lot, that seems to help best :)

2:38 am

jillibus

2:38 am

ohhhh housework is tough, Frances. Never done, and nothing in it to occupy the mind or challenge the parts of you that like to be challenged :) *hug*

2:38 am

sprite

on toast, jilli!

2:38 am

Marmar

It's fun. Now I can comment on the last hour of chat topics which I made myself stay away from to try to finish the grid: ´Zonini! and Kulo for the last hint, I'm a firm believer in the healing powers of chicken soup when you sick (home made of course), I love broccoli too, Xanika, I agree with the others, those little brats should be horsewhipped and I am glad you are getting out of that environment....whew, now I'm up to speed with the rest of you!

2:39 am

Jellen

I've been sick since Saturday. Finally went to doctor yesterday.

Pleurisy is inflammation of the membranes between the lungs and ribs. The inflammation causes the two layers to rub together, as a get it.

I recently watched the movie with my kids on dvd, dc. They loved it, though the war-parts were pretty heavy for them. I could explain though, and it is part of our history, so it is good they get a taste of it.

One smart lady, you. Some grids just don't appeal to one's mind like others do, that's all.

- vowel to describe me as undefined me

- vowel that people say when they see me

hi Haz and Sandie

4:09 am

Sandieangel

oh thanks a lot FMitch. I'll try that. Done 37 of these words in 10 minutes - so it shouldn't take long to finish the rest after I've been shopping.

4:09 am

sprite

this IS a thinking game, right Haz?

4:09 am

FMitch

Hello Haz and dc and sprite and everyone e4

4:09 am

sprite

sorry to be a wet blanket... what a wonderful expression!!!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

4:09 am

dcseain

yes, sprite, but we're still human. :P

4:09 am

Haz1558

sprite - whatever gave you that idea?

4:09 am

sprite

and hi FMitch!

4:10 am

sprite

errrrrr Haz.... the puzzle thing?

4:10 am

sprite

human... speak for yourself, dc!

4:10 am

Haz1558

Don't you have wet blankets in Holland? My aunt had two wet blankets for sisters, she christened them Doom and Gloom.

4:10 am

FMitch

Yay it's Friday but when oh when are we going to get a decent sized or at least challenging grid!?!

4:10 am

Sandieangel

4:10 am

Sandieangel

4:11 am

dcseain

4:11 am

sprite

4:11 am

joso

rehi all, insomia strikes

4:11 am

dcseain

ciao, sandie

4:11 am

Haz1558

I hear you, FMitch. They've been too short recently.

4:11 am

sprite

FMitch: sunday come. I would have lots of time then :)

4:11 am

dcseain

wet blanket is sort of like party pooper, though different connotation

4:11 am

sprite

poor JoSo :(
Want to borrow my rubber hammer?

4:12 am

FMitch

Nothing like a good Sunday babble

4:12 am

Haz1558

Hello joso. We'll try to lull you back to sleep.

4:12 am

sprite

And I better crawl off to sudoku, now that my very smart and funny vowel suggestion was deemed stupid and no fun at all.

4:12 am

dcseain

here, joso, have a glass of Pedro Jiménez, it's a nice cream sherry.

4:12 am

Haz1558

It wasn't stupid. It was too clever!

4:13 am

FMitch

sigh

4:13 am

sprite

thanks for the great company, guys, and have fun babbling and chatting.
*hugs her dotcomrades*

4:13 am

dcseain

sudoku today was very easy, and that puzzle is MUCH harder for me for some reason.

4:13 am

dcseain

Very clever

4:13 am

dcseain

i had to think too much to decipher it, but it was clever once i figured it out.

4:13 am

dcseain

*hugs sprite*

4:13 am

FMitch

It was horrid dc :(

4:13 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, sprite.

4:14 am

joso

tnx haz and DC, *sluuurp*

4:14 am

dcseain

the suggustion, fmitch?

4:14 am

FMitch

lol no, todays sudoku.

4:15 am

dcseain

oh! it only took me about an hour today, which is VERY fast for me.

4:15 am

dcseain

though it was slow going at first

4:15 am

dcseain

the more symmetrical the layout of starting numbers, the harder they are for me for some reason.

4:17 am

FMitch

I odn't feel quite so bad then *grin* Haz come back, don't hide behind the words.

4:18 am

Haz1558

I'm here, just reading through the chat log.

4:18 am

FMitch

oh thats alright then :)

4:18 am

dcseain

we sang from the Sound of Music earlier. Sprite yodels nicely.

4:19 am

Haz1558

I loved when dc declared himself god with languages. Puts Eros in the shade.

4:19 am

dcseain

:"> that was a typo LOL

4:19 am

FMitch

yes, great typo or ego?

4:20 am

dcseain

i corrected it straight away, after i saw it

4:20 am

Haz1558

I just had visions of you sitting on your throne, surrounded by dictionaries. ' Bring me Serbo-croat, I've finished with Japanese!'

4:20 am

FMitch

or from yesterdays log Anglo Saxon

4:20 am

dcseain

i've avoided japanes for the most part thus far.

4:21 am

dcseain

i've concentrated on Mandarin and Korean in that part of the world, and a spot of incidental vietnamese.

4:22 am

FMitch

*speechless*

4:22 am

dcseain

i did once shout out at a group of people that "It's not Latin! It's basic Greek! Hello!"

4:22 am

dcseain

that was in reference to someone insisting that 'kyrie eleison' were Latin. hmph.

4:22 am

FMitch

Backs slowly away from the log

4:22 am

dcseain

oh, did i offend, fmitch?

4:23 am

dcseain

i'll shut up now.

4:23 am

FMitch

LOL NO don't do that

4:23 am

Haz1558

FMitch, Eros isn't here today, you have no excuse.

4:23 am

FMitch

I was just getting out of my depth and came back to the shallows

4:24 am

dcseain

i've worked 104 hours this pay peroid, much to my surprise.

4:25 am

FMitch

I would love to be able to talkother languages but just don't have the gene/ability to do it.

4:25 am

dcseain

you could if you wanted, but it's probably not worth the effort. Though, i will point out that reading, writing, speaking, and listening are 4 independent skills.

5:58 am

Scrabbler

If your 2 wks is up, then you either pay and turn pro, or play without the stats available

5:58 am

inge

you can enjoy our company for free, bfsog, after two weeks you loose some priviledges, adn you can join

5:58 am

lideola

yes, there is a 2 week free trial with the full features, then to get everything. The good thing is, its pretty inexpensive and you only have to pay once for a lifetime membership

5:58 am

bfsog

il pay, if it includes a free t-shirt?

5:59 am

inge

no t-shirt for free, you pay for that

5:59 am

lideola

free tshirt = get old white tshirt and use permanent marker

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Great idea, Lideola.

6:10 am

Uniquity

6:13 am

lideola

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Lideola--your girls are adorable and I enjoyed reading your profile again.

6:24 am

carleekat

ok...Dr God must assume the entire world is following the world series....its the ONLY explanation I can come up with for these teensy grids

6:25 am

Uniquity

There's a world series?

6:25 am

Atalante

whats teh world series? is that baseball? american football?

6:25 am

carleekat

apparently there is uni

6:26 am

Uniquity

Man. I'd much rather have a babble. This'll be my third completion in a row, which is insanity.

6:26 am

Uniquity

I miss coming back to a big grid at night when i'm done my schoolwork.

6:29 am

Atalante

I'll go and look it up then!

6:29 am

carleekat

its baseball ata....

6:30 am

Atalante

so I've just discovered :)

6:31 am

carleekat

6:32 am

Uniquity

It's a punishment..

6:32 am

Inge2

6:32 am

Uniquity

6:32 am

Inge2

Or Dr. God is a Red Sox fan?

6:33 am

carleekat

I need a kick in the pants is more like it <looking over shoulder to see if lorip is lurking>

6:33 am

carleekat

u see....Inge2 has same theroy as I do

6:33 am

Uniquity

Lori appears to have gone to work carlee, she's not online at least.

6:34 am

Atalante

do people generaltly support their home baseball teams, or is it like here where the whole country supports Manchester United?

6:35 am

NonoNanette

did the sox win last night I fell asleep about the 7th inning

6:35 am

jean1953

good morning everyone:)

6:35 am

NonoNanette

morning jean

6:36 am

carleekat

2-1 nono

6:36 am

Inge2

Just checked, nono Sox won 2-1, I believe

6:36 am

NonoNanette

it seems the Yankees are Americas most favored team Ata

6:36 am

NonoNanette

ok thanks thats what the score was when i fell asleep

6:37 am

carleekat

people support their local teams... but the world series is another kettle of fish entirely

6:37 am

movieman

Has anyone else noticed that the so-called "World Series" is always contested between teams from North America.......?

6:38 am

Inge2

hehe, Boston is the hub of the universe, mm

6:38 am

carleekat

i don't know nono...I think the "fav teams" still go to the original ones... yankees, bosox, whitesox, etc

6:38 am

NonoNanette

well mm that is true only because America and Canada are the only countries with teams

6:38 am

Atalante

lol yes MM

6:39 am

Uniquity

and Canada only has a few...

6:39 am

Atalante

what abou Japan?

6:39 am

Inge2

Doesn't Japan have teams too?

6:39 am

carleekat

we have 1 I think now

6:39 am

carleekat

japan has its own league

6:39 am

Inge2

Toronto Blue Jays?

6:39 am

NonoNanette

they do have baseball but not in the same league

6:39 am

carleekat

the one bosox pitcher was paid 111 mil to a japanese team to get him here

6:40 am

carleekat

yeap..toronto... we used to have a team in montreal

6:40 am

movieman

There must be more than three countries in the world that play baseball, otherwise the baseball competition in the Olympics would be pretty boring.....

6:41 am

carleekat

baseball is HUGE in cuba

6:41 am

Uniquity

Tell the Americans that

6:41 am

Atalante

even cricket can manage more than 3 countries!

6:41 am

Inge2

is that right, Ata?

6:41 am

Atalante

about cricket??

6:42 am

carleekat

yes..it has more countries then 3 ata

6:42 am

carleekat

its an "american" thing...

6:42 am

Atalante

that really is worldwide. the main professional countriues are the UK, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Australia, NZ, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Bangladesh and the West Indies

6:42 am

movieman

Yep, England, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Australia, Kenya, West Indies, even Scotland and Holland.......

6:43 am

Atalante

and Ireland!

6:43 am

NonoNanette

no explanation really as to why it's called the "World" Series ...... it has just always been called that

6:43 am

Uniquity

Were there many more teams at one point?

6:43 am

Inge2

Ha; I misread; I thought you said *only* 3 countries for cricket.

6:44 am

Inge2

I think it may be hard to understand the appeal of baseball outside the US...long games, lots of standing around...

6:44 am

carleekat

uh..NO KIDDING inge... that is how I feel about it

6:45 am

Atalante

ditto with cricket - hence the 20:20 tournaments and stuff, cricket is really going out of its way to evolve and interest more and more people

6:45 am

movieman

It's the same with cricket, inge.....

6:45 am

Inge2

So if you already have cricket, you don't need another game like it...

6:46 am

Atalante

we have rounders in school :P

6:46 am

Inge2

what is rounders, ata?

6:47 am

Atalante

baseball for girls LOL with a smaller pitch and different rules but basically the same idea. girls play it at school

6:47 am

Inge2

ah, fits in the niche of our softball then.

6:48 am

Atalante

yeah, but we use hard balls ;)

6:48 am

movieman

I played it when I was at school, Ata, so it's not exclusively for the female gender......

6:48 am

Atalante

you did? wow! I've never heard of boys getting to play rounders! cool!

6:49 am

movieman

It was at Primary school though......

6:49 am

Atalante

looool tiny movieman!

7:03 am

Denny

afternoon all

7:03 am

Ogdens Nut

Yeah, in a study at the Uni of Munich an amazing 79.7 % of breast cancer patients had regular contact with dogs before they were diagnosed....

7:03 am

jean1953

good afternoon Denny :)

7:03 am

Uniquity

Woohoo! All finished!

7:03 am

Anniebrook

congrats, Uni! and hi denny!

7:03 am

jean1953

congratulations Uniquity

7:03 am

carleekat

<POMPOM TOSS> for uni

7:04 am

Inge2

oh, an epidemiological study. brilliant

7:04 am

Denny

congrats Uni

7:04 am

Atalante

but what % of women without breast cancer whave had contact with dogs?

7:05 am

Anniebrook

or any fur bearing animal for that matter

7:05 am

carleekat

and define reg contact with dogs?

7:06 am

Ogdens Nut

Only 4.4% of the group did not have dogs compared to 57.3% of a healthy control group - representing a 29-fold increased risk for dog owners....

7:07 am

carleekat

interesting study...

7:09 am

Atalante

the problem with these studies is that they suggest that an observation *causes* the result. It doesn't neessarily follow that way. The dogs could be fine, it could be exposure to dog food, dog leads, being outdoors more etc etc

7:09 am

carleekat

yeap.... but still....there is a correlation somewhere....

7:10 am

Atalante

what size were the groups, Zen?

7:10 am

Ogdens Nut

Doesn't say Ata

7:11 am

Atalante

*rolls eyes* well thats helpful

7:11 am

carleekat

and what was the methond of sampling?

7:11 am

Atalante

carlee, yes there's a correlation there. but that could be a sample of 100 people for all we know, and thus pretty much meaningless

7:11 am

carleekat

was it country wide?.... or everyone centred around some industrial park?

7:12 am

Atalante

so much of my PhD was trying to work out the difference between causes and effects when we see different things in the fossil record. It's made me so cynical about stats, unless I can get the actual details about the study!

7:12 am

Inge2

Epidemiological studies like that are fraught with problems. They are interesting if done right, but not something to base a decision on ....like getting rid of your dog.

7:12 am

Ogdens Nut

Another unrelated study in Norway showed a very high level - 53.3% - of breast cancers in 14,401 female dogs

7:13 am

carleekat

( yeap I know ata... I took stats too in university... lord how I hated it... did well..then turfed the info out of the grey matter as soon as I finished the exam )

7:13 am

Inge2

so contact with dogs is correlated with cancer in dogs as well?

7:13 am

Atalante

aha! so when a dog gets breast cancer it gets trasnferred to the owner!

7:14 am

Inge2

Voila!

7:14 am

Atalante

wonder how many men with dogs get breast cancer compared to men without dogs

7:14 am

carleekat

actually..the ONLY man I know who has had breast cancer... had a female dog with...breast cancer

7:15 am

jean1953

7:15 am

7:16 am

Inge2

Congrats, Jean. You have a clue for the ce5/6 combo? My last ones... can't see them

7:16 am

Ogdens Nut

Actually yes Ata - the team suspect the MMTV - mouse mammary tumour virus- which triggers breast cancer in mice...

7:17 am

Atalante

lunchtime! you got a linky, Zen?

7:17 am

jean1953

right inge give me a mo I will try and give a clue

7:18 am

Ogdens Nut

The theory is that dogs and possibly other pets, harbour and transmit MMTV and it can induce human breast cancer

7:18 am

Atalante

link? or are you reading this on paper?

7:18 am

Inge2

That's an interesting theory, Zen.

7:19 am

jean1953

sorry inge I monkey typed those two so am unsure what they mean

7:19 am

Inge2

clue anyway?

Hi, Judi...be careful what you ask for! LOL

Scarlet

Hi, kattie!! {{{Hugs & smooches, dear one}}} Yes, he must be!

7:49 am

carleekat

( i did write red )...

7:50 am

Scarlet

How are you and yours today, kat? Are you getting any rest? Oh... didn't check e-mails this a.m. ... just dragged to computer and made the coffee, walked up the lane for the newspapers and here I am.

7:50 am

Scarlet

I felt like a Keebler elf last night...knocking out six loaves of banana bread, then, of course, the game!

7:51 am

carleekat

i am half asleep.... no coffee yet...i currently have a cat curled in my lap digging in claws with a chevy motor going

7:51 am

Scarlet

Isn't that the best moment of any day... I can't imagine life without a kat... er, cat! :-)

7:51 am

carleekat

SIX loaves of banana bread..what did u do..buy out the store of overripe bananas?

7:52 am

carleekat

( I could do without the needles in the knee...but she is in the process of forgiving me for going away..I willsuffer the needles )

7:53 am

Scarlet

No... it was daughter's wonderful idea. She had planned to go to some chi-chi cabin in the woods of Georgia with five other college pals..(all 25-ish) and daughter wanted to feed them something homemade for the morning coffee... they all love banana bread.

7:54 am

carleekat

very nice... I am currently gearing myself up to make...something..not sure what..will depend upon what ingredients I have on hand... Irefuse to get out of my pajamas at all today

7:55 am

Scarlet

The next part is: daughter was going to go with her pal who was driving down to NC from the Philadelphia area... she just got over the Maryland line, and her car literally exploded.. the engine caught on fire and she was a panicked mess... called my dear little redhead, the the weekend may be in the hopper. Daughter is currently at her mechanic's to see if her car can make a four-hour each way run to Georgia.

7:55 am

Mom

Good morning Scarlet {{Hugs}}

8:01 am

Mom

I can only imagine. No sugar, no taste :)

8:01 am

Scarlet

Oh, Judi.. sugar-free anything is against nature! ; )

8:01 am

carleekat

why do people do that ( other then for actual HEALTH reason..ie diabetes ) if it was m ade to be with sugar... then..sugar it is

8:01 am

Judi

There's so much artificial sweetener in it, it's unbearable.

8:02 am

Judi

Terrible waste of perfectly good blueberries.

8:02 am

carleekat

feed it to the squirrels... if they will touch it

8:03 am

carleekat

( can it be recued with a lemon glaze? )

8:03 am

Judi

Good idea, Carlee. The compost bin is the only place for it.

8:08 am

Scarlet

Do you want me to post this recipe? I can go dig though my cache and find it... it is a fabulous Sunday morning brunch thing...

8:08 am

Atalante

I'd finished beforehand :P

8:08 am

bbnaz

Scarlet

Well done, bbnaz. Congratulations!

8:09 am

Atalante

bread pudding is so good. bread and butter pudding is even better. How can bread be so good in any form? (except sugar-free!)

mental health>>>> WHAT is that?... I have none ;-)

8:13 am

Judi

Mental health... some would argue that that's an oxymoron.

8:14 am

bbnaz

all the more reason to take care of it ... keeps the rest of the world guessing.

8:14 am

bbnaz

who you calling a moron?! (tongue firmly in cheek here)

8:15 am

Judi

Could be worse. You could be our city administrator - otherwise known as the mental midget.

Uneaixoise

if any of you are interested in seeing some amazing photos of World War I, this is a beautiful site created by a French friend of a friend: http://tinyurl.com/2gyr7k

11:09 am

EvaNadine

ahh, got the FL finally...
11 words left to go!

11:10 am

FMitch

That is an impressive website Une, will bookmark it to look at properly.

11:10 am

Uneaixoise

very moving, fmitch

11:11 am

FMitch

Just llokingat the pic with all the shattered trees and a few men. Desolation.

11:12 am

Uneaixoise

somewhere on that website is a picture of my grandfather with a group of American soldiers

11:13 am

FMitch

Gosh that would make it even more poignant!

11:13 am

Uneaixoise

gotta run--BBL to find last 17 words

11:13 am

FMitch

11:14 am

Uneaixoise

very, fmitch--he eloped with my grandmother (she was only 17) and left for France shortly thereafter

11:14 am

Haz1558

Hello there - much happening with you, FMitch?

11:14 am

Uneaixoise

ok, now I really am gone :-)

11:14 am

FMitch

hello, pleasant surprise Haz, not a lot going on, tyding up from the day...

11:14 am

Haz1558

Bye Une.

11:15 am

FMitch

Thanks to the short grid, achieved lots today :)

11:15 am

Haz1558

It's been a funny kind of day. Tiny grid, few clues needed.

11:15 am

Haz1558

Well done on the work!

11:16 am

FMitch

It's this weekend that the clocks go back isn't it?

11:16 am

Haz1558

Yes, you're probably right. Not my favourite thing - too dark too early.

11:17 am

FMitch

Same here. sigh. Oh well if there is sun during the day I wll be out topping up my seratonin(?) levels.

11:18 am

FMitch

Refuse for it to bring me down again

11:18 am

Haz1558

I reckon you need a bit of daylight every day to keep you feeling half human. And the fresh air is good as well.

11:19 am

FMitch

Will have to adopt a dog for walkies only

11:19 am

Haz1558

Don't be kidnapping the first one you find. You know you got in trouble for that before.

11:20 am

FMitch

Oh dear, here we go agaoin. You haven't been talking your tablets have you?

11:20 am

FMitch

... and you were doing so well.

11:20 am

Haz1558

I never talk to my tablets....

11:21 am

Haz1558

Not since they've been ignoring me.

11:21 am

FMitch

LOL!!

11:21 am

FMitch

One day my spelling will get me into such a mess.

11:21 am

Haz1558

Well, you've got to laugh!

11:22 am

FMitch

Are you entertaining this weekend or just concocting cullinary delights for the family?

11:22 am

Haz1558

Speaking of which, there's a new series of The Blame Game starting this evening. That should cause a few laughs around here.

11:23 am

Haz1558

Actually, daughter no 2 is coming home for a week so I'll have to get her favourites concocted.

11:23 am

FMitch

Those snippets were so funny

11:24 am

FMitch

Great! half term?

11:24 am

Haz1558

Yes - just a pity there aren't more on youtube. I'll keep an eye out and let you know if there's anything new available.

11:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, except they call it a 'reading week'.

11:24 am

Haz1558

She's going to take the opportunity to get her hair done at mother's expense - too pricy in Edinburgh.

11:26 am

Haz1558

What about you, any plans for the weekend? Apart from kidnapping dogs?

11:27 am

FMitch

Treats when home :) I resent how much it costs just for a wash and dry round here - around £35!!!

Nothing special planned, apart from going out for lunch on Sunday. Trying to stay away from shops now that I can fit into lots of clothes unlike before.

11:27 am

Haz1558

Don't tell me I've put ideas in her head.

11:28 am

FMitch

Want to buy new things lol

11:28 am

Haz1558

Well, the new clothes are in the shops and they ARE tempting.

11:29 am

Haz1558

Do you find yourself still thinking that you're heavier than you are?

11:29 am

FMitch

Oh I want to finish my Christmas shopping before the end of the month too.

11:29 am

Haz1558

Oh good grief, seriously?

11:30 am

FMitch

Re yr last very definitely yes!!

11:30 am

FMitch

Phone BRB

11:30 am

Haz1558

You can look forward to a more normal Christmas than last year, anyway.

11:34 am

FMitch

Yup not being in hospital on on New YEars Eve will be good

11:34 am

Haz1558

It's probably an occupational hazard for some people, but not to be recommended!

11:35 am

FMitch

Re Christmas shopping - yes, I only have a few more things to get. Could not afford to get stressed out by it this year so started early. Quite nice feeling in a strange way!

11:36 am

MVA

hi all

11:36 am

Haz1558

You're very wise. I should probably do more earlier but tend to wait until I have an idea of what people need or want. But more and more of the shops are getting their Christmas decorations up.

11:36 am

Haz1558

Hello MVA.

11:36 am

FMitch

11:48 am

Sandieangel

11:52 am

Haz1558

I should go and drag the vacuum round the lounge - daughter no 1 is bringing a friend home for tea and I'd better get organised. I'm being lazy and letting St Michael take the strain this evening. So cooperative.

11:53 am

FMitch

Good St Michael, have a pleasant evening.

11:53 am

Haz1558

So the noise you hear will be the vacuum starting up and the streak of light will be Spangle, exiting.

if u have, its similar to that...the letters must "touch" each other to make words

and when we give clues, for example fe6/27 means it is a 6 letter word worth 27 points...the point value of each letter is shown at the bottom of each tile
