A cul-de-sac or close is a dead-end street with only one inlet/outlet.

Cul-de-sac literally means "bottom of a bag" in French and Catalan. Despite seeming to be a borrowed French phrase, the expression cul-de-sac originated in England during the period when French was spoken by the English aristocracy

The name Christopher was coined by combining the Greek khristos, the anointed (a translation of the Hebrew mashiah, messiah), and pherein, to bear. The St. Christopher of legend was a giant who helped travellers by carrying them across rivers.

2:07 am

that i know they do fran, as a friend w/7 acres has two to allow for parties, and the dogs keep the kids coralled in the back yard. They naturally corrall, which is useful.
2:09 am

i have no experience with indoor pets myself, but i pay close attention when i'm watching dog shows, you pick up lots of useful information. :-)

yes, it's gotten harder as he's getting better, as the swelling has gone down, so he can clamp his mouth again. Good that he's healing, though.

we used to do so because we wanted to support the owner of the site!

if you want to try it, all you have to do is write lickety an email (addy is on the help page you are using right now). And install IE of course, lol.
4:53 am
dcseain

actually, blue, it pulls up IE on my box, even though Firefox is default, but it makes the browser invisible, as it's an embedded app.
4:53 am

IE is integral to Win98 and later, except in Europe. So, even if you're not using IE, it's on your machine. Babble Expert is an embedded app, meaning an application that runs in a browser. Lickety, being skilled, makes so you don't know it's IE.

6:38 am

exactly. If I want his support, all I have to do is say it is Jom's birthday and I am having a bad time with it, and he will be there for me. It is a very female thing to sit quiet and wait for the man to come forward himself, and feeling that if she needs to remind him, she doesn't want his support anyway.

montreal: if that is what you can do, it is worth a thousand consolations sometimes. Just letting feelings be there, acknowledge them and not try to uplift them can work miracles.

I've done my grocery shopping, put it away, helped with a charity collection and watched people beavering about. I need some rest and relaxation.
9:37 am
Atalante

you sure do!
9:37 am
hurshy

beavering? is that like faffing?
9:38 am
Haz1558

No! Faffing is purposeless, beavering is the opposite.
9:38 am
Atalante

beavering is much more indurtious
9:38 am
Atalante

industrious even LOL
9:38 am
Haz1558

Is beavering not a recognised verb in US?
9:38 am
hurshy

ah, i see.
9:38 am
Atalante

thats amusing. cos you have beavers and we don't
9:38 am
hurshy

not that i'm aware of. we have a... um... less than nice connotation for the word beaver.
9:39 am
hurshy

if you don't have beavers why are they in narnia?
9:39 am
Haz1558

Anything with a double vowel or consonant is slightly lazier - faff, pootle, rootling.
9:39 am
Atalante

we dont tend to have fauns or evil queens either
9:40 am
Haz1558

And now I'll start to think of all the exceptions to the rule that I've arbitrarily made up.
9:40 am
hurshy

not true, you have had the occasional evil queen, haven't you?
9:40 am
Atalante

we do, however, have turkish delight
9:40 am
Atalante

no, I think all our queens have been fairly nice. At least compared to the kings
9:40 am
hurshy

but beavers are more ordinary than fauns.

9:42 am

Did we kill them to make hats for soldiers. Atalante?
9:42 am
hurshy

me thinks the lady doth protest too much
9:42 am
Atalante

oh myabe we did. they became extinct in the 16th century
9:43 am
hurshy

i knew it!!
9:43 am
Atalante

The exact date of the beaver's disappearance from Scotland is unknown, but it was certainly still present in the 12th century, when excise duty was collected on the export of its pelt. Written records indicate that it may have survived in small numbers at a few locations until the 16th century.
9:43 am
FMitch

The beaver was hunted almost to extinction for its fur and the pain-relieving properties of its anal gland secretions. 6 European beavers weree released into the wild in 2005.
9:43 am
Haz1558

Aha - the authority arrives.
9:43 am
Atalante

sorry, I thought it was one of those critters that never made it across here

Is the spaniel being fattened deliberately?
9:53 am
hurshy

good heavens, what happened in france in the 70's? was it like elsewhere? i can't picture that.
9:53 am

Horreur!
9:53 am

I LOVE that episode! LOL

if he could just stop THAT, that would be something.

We'd need tractors because health and safety rules would forbid us hurting our backs.
10:17 am
Atalante

yup you're meant to lie down on your back if you get into difficultires
10:17 am
hurshy

i tried to get my family into man vs. wild at thanksgiving time but my sister couldn't handle the eating sheep eyeballs bit.
10:18 am
Haz1558

I suppose lying down on your front would be counter-productive. You couldn't shout for help just so well.
10:18 am
hurshy

bear went on his front, so that he could then crawl out
10:19 am
Atalante

OK. This canoeist guy who vanished. He wanted to see his sons so flew back to England and handed himself in. Why not just send them tickets out to Panama????
10:19 am
MLFAN17

ca 36 and ca 50 please
10:19 am
Haz1558

Was Bear Gryll not found out - sleeps in five star hotels at night.
10:19 am
hurshy

maybe his sons didn't care to see him, ata?
10:20 am
hurshy

he deserves it after the stuff he does, haz.
10:20 am
Haz1558

The whole story is incredible, Atalante. He had been living in England with his wife for years before going to Panama. They''ve been terribly deceitful.
10:20 am
BabbleRabble

ca 7 --- hats and skin browning; pl
10:20 am
Haz1558

Yes, but he sleeps in these hotels when he's supposed to be roughing it. So the rumour goes, I know nothing, though, unlike Manuel, it's not because I'm from Barcelona.
10:21 am

hurshy me too i found a few by accident
10:21 am
hurshy

nasty rumours spread by the jealous, i'd say.
10:22 am
Haz1558

I'm not sure where these five star hotels are in the midst of nowhere.
10:22 am
hurshy

they would have to chopper him in and out.
10:22 am
BabbleRabble

this grid is much too short and must to unchallenging
10:23 am
Haz1558

Well, I suppose it's possible. After the case of the disappearing and reappearing canoeist, anything's possible.
10:23 am
Deeha

Just come in on the middle of this Haz what made me laugh was that he came home from Panama because he was ired of pretending he was gay????!!!
10:23 am
Atalante

yes really! the whole story is something you'd think unbelievable in a story
10:24 am
Haz1558

Oh, I hadn't heard that twist to the story. FMItch - have you done anything about the film rights?
10:24 am
hurshy

brabble, did you use the list? if you think a grid is going to be too short you can always go without.
10:24 am
MLFAN17

phae which direction. i got the first part of it 3 letters or 4 though to see if i can go the right direction for that word or not lol?
10:24 am

10:24 am
FMitch

Been busy negotiation Haz, been busy!
10:24 am
hurshy

i want to come back from panama because i'm tired of pretending to be gay!
10:25 am
Haz1558

Excellent, FMitch. I should start working on a script, shouldn't I?
10:25 am

mlf, pluralize what you wear on your head, then add what the sun does to your skin
10:25 am

10:26 am
FMitch

Oh deffo :) and don't forget the cameo role for the tenrec
10:26 am
Atalante

I think our fav cake critic should have a cameo
10:27 am
Haz1558

If we have the tenrec, I suppose we'll have to have a disclaimer that no tenrecs were hurt in the filming of this piece.
10:27 am
FMitch

ROFL
10:28 am
Haz1558

I think you're right, Atalante. You can't have a cake without a critic.
10:28 am
FMitch

Oh BTW MrTenrec does not want to be associated with any of the cutsey wootsey scenes in the petshop prior to the "deed"
10:28 am
Atalante

we could have a stuffed tenrec to avoid animal rights
10:28 am
Atalante

that just looks very very very realistic
10:28 am
BabbleRabble

I violate generalities as a general rule
10:28 am
Atalante

and now Spangle can hold up an injured paw to look even more cute!
10:29 am
FMitch

Starts to sharpen the red pencil again ...
10:29 am
Haz1558

Could the tenrec have caused the injury? A tough, streetwise tenrec?
10:29 am
Atalante

quite possibly, I would think
10:30 am
FMitch

With his punk hairstype, see what you can come up with.
10:30 am
hurshy

i don't usually have this much trouble with a's... hmmm
10:30 am
hurshy

ooh there's one!
10:30 am
hurshy

there's another!
10:30 am
Haz1558

Okay, so a tenrec, a cake, a cake critic.
10:31 am
Atalante

sounds good
10:31 am
FMitch

I can see the oscars now!!
10:31 am
hurshy

what is a tenrec anyway? and why is there cake, i think i missed something
10:31 am

10:32 am

this reminds me of mr. roger's "operas" ... sweaters, bubbles, wind...
10:32 am
FMitch

hurshy look at my flikr pics for the spikey hedgehog from Madagasgar
10:32 am
Haz1558

The tenrec is the Madagascar hedgehog, the cake is to be used in the film script as a homage to Some Like it Hot, and you can't have a cake without a critic.
10:32 am
hurshy

why can't you have a cake without a critic?
10:33 am
Uneaixoise

fmitch, I saw that and wondered what in the world it was! LOL
10:33 am
hurshy

spiky hedgehog = tenrec *inserts into memory*
10:33 am
BabbleRabble

cause it would ruin the story line
10:33 am
FMitch

Isn't he great Uni! only found in Madagasgar
10:33 am
Haz1558

We were having a little brainstorm the other day about the perfect murder, hurshy. And a cake without a critic is just..... wrong.
10:33 am
Uneaixoise

he's amazing! LOL
10:34 am
FMitch

like bread without botter or babble without rabble. just unthinkable!
10:34 am
hurshy

roald dahl already wrote the perfect murder. only in that case, it was a leg of lamb.
10:34 am
Haz1558

And the punky hedgehog has a variant spelling - tanrec, but they come from the dodgy side of the family.

10:50 am
Haz1558

It's okay, the medics say I'll recover eventually.
10:50 am

you should tell a person if you're going to hold your breath!
10:51 am
Haz1558

I should, shouldn't I?
10:51 am
FMitch

Haz did you get The Mail today, free DVD Christmas Carol, am watching it on the PC, not a bad version of the tale.
10:52 am

Parsnip and apple.

10:56 am

FMitch

hurshy you will love all of it
10:57 am
Dorens

I love pavlova.. don't know about bushmill sauce tho
10:57 am
Haz1558

Pavlova is basically a meringue mixture with the addition of cornflour and vinegar - it does something in the cooking to make a crisp outside and a marshmallow inside - that's topped with cream and fruit.
10:57 am
Dorens

raspberries?
10:57 am
Haz1558

Bushmills sauce is a creamy sauce made with Bushmills whiskey (from up the road)
10:58 am

Stid, i think that's justifiable kidocide
8:18 pm
stidmama

something like that carlee -- I think it was actually the bleachers I sat on for the stidkid's concert.
8:19 pm
evanonut

kidocide is totally justifiable, just like petocide
8:19 pm
stidmama

{{{LBD}}} thanks. I knew someone would understand...
8:20 pm
phaeton

8:20 pm

8:22 pm
riemann

Hi Jilli. Yes, I've looked at that post. Two thoughts: (1) if allow a director to make even one ruling then the director can change the outcome of the game. (2) If I partnered the 2D bidder, that would be the LAST session I ever did so.
8:22 pm
Erilar

kidocide strikes me as MORE justifiable than petocide
8:22 pm
lbdawger

uh oh, Riemann, sounds like you could be spending the holidays in Lucky's kennel!
8:22 pm
jillibus

Oh, stid, it was a chilly but clear day. How wonderful that you have posted dilly's pic in your icon. She was a devout RC and the funeral was traditional. Lynn (MayneGirl) was there of course, with her whole family including Kahlua from Tacoma (she's gorgeous). Afterwards some of us went to a lovely lunch at Calvin's and she was with us is spirit -- it was her favourite restaurant and we toasted her.
8:22 pm
stidmama

8:25 pm
stidmama

now the boys are playing baseball with the wii... this follows tennis in which one stidkid whacked the other one good with a backhand...
8:25 pm
Erilar

Actually, there were a few years there at the end of my working days when "13-year-old boy" was the worst curse in my vocabulary. . . Karate class where I could pretend to kill them helped keep me sane 8-)
8:25 pm
stidmama

hm. erilar, that sounds like a wonderful outlet...
8:26 pm
carleekat

speaking of hubby i best go spend some tie with him... enjoy the remains of the day all..cu in the am
8:26 pm
riemann

Great! You found ANOTHER mode of household violence, Stid!
8:26 pm
Erilar

I could also pretend to kill my principal. . .
8:26 pm
jillibus

8:27 pm
evanonut

stidmama

Jill -- come here for X-mas. you can play with the wii, meet riemann, and eat all sorts of lovely non-traditional foods
8:28 pm
stidmama

I'll even dust...
8:28 pm
Erilar

Jillibus, are you north of Wisconsin or one of those southern Canadians? It's winter here. .
8:28 pm
riemann

8:28 pm
jillibus

stid -- years ago nrkii posted some useful babble products in the BabAnon Store. Hilarious.
8:28 pm
Minveryork

I really do love my M-I-L. Just have to remember she always means well, even if I don't always agree w/her
8:28 pm
lbdawger

I think my DIL likes me, I'm very happy that my MIL lives several states away from me, and rarely does she talk to me. keeps us both happy
8:28 pm
evanonut

well jilli, you can come here, but i aint dusting no way...that's what roaming cats are for
8:29 pm
stidmama

oh! that -- yes, I think it's next to my lovely accessory for preventing brain wave sharing...
8:29 pm
jillibus

Erilar, I'm in southern BC
8:30 pm
Erilar

Oh, then you have some winter, too? We got down to -15 this morning. Made my dog wear her snowsuit for our walk.
8:30 pm
stidmama

My MIL is pleasant enough when forced to be around me, but I know I perplex her and it bothers her that I can't eat foods she knows how to prepare... she also is a very "large crowd" person (growing up in a family of 9, and 5 kids of her own) and I am a "one at a time" person
8:30 pm
evanonut

lol erilar!
8:31 pm
stidmama

oh erilar -- that's too cold!
8:31 pm
evanonut

my mil loves me and my mil hates me, i don't think she's aware of the hate part though
8:31 pm
jillibus

Oh, I'm going to my son's for Xmas, no matter what! It's about the only chance I get to see my family and this year I'm flying (weather permitting) from Victoria to Abbotsford, across the river from where he lives, which takes 20 minutes, instead of the ferry and driving which takes about 4 hours
8:31 pm
riemann

Had the first snow here in Indiana on Friday. 1--2 inches, and it's gone now. My kind of winter.
8:31 pm
Erilar

Oh, I don't mind cold. It's warm weather after snow that's nasty: it creates icy roads!
8:31 pm
lbdawger

yikes Erilar, that's colder than we got here!
8:32 pm
Minveryork

So I guess you got a love/hate relationship evanonut
8:32 pm
stidmama

good for you Jill -- that will be nicer than the long ferry ride
8:32 pm
evanonut

our four inches are still here
8:32 pm
evanonut

minver, you have a whey with words
8:32 pm
lbdawger

we have frozen tundra...no snow tho, 'cept in the upper mountains
8:33 pm
stidmama

still, know that you are welcome here any time. If we have to just push piles of books of chairs then that's what we'll do. *emphatic mama look* The kettle is always ready for tea, and I finally have a little coffee maker also.
8:33 pm
Erilar

nice talking, but I've been sitting at this computer too long, considering before that I was frosting Lebkuchen. Time to lean back for a while. Nite, all!
8:33 pm
evanonut

8:42 pm
jillibus

what, mkg?
8:43 pm
72 Temple Owl

back. shopped all day today.
8:43 pm
jillibus

hi TO
8:44 pm
72 Temple Owl

hey jili
8:44 pm
mkg

the other day, thurs or wed i was on grid and i tend to joke but someone didnt take it as a joke and got upset at me. what do i do now? i was joking about the spelling of words that i thought were weird and some were words that i spell other ways. and someone got upset. it was a shock to me since i cant imagine being at all upset by anything on the chat but now i dont know what to do about it. this is someone often on so i guess when i see the name again i will say i am sorry.
8:45 pm
mkg

i often talk about how silly the words are and how the enable dictionary has words that i dont believe are words............they are another language or some such silliness. but i am not really upset by it or anything but just blabbing. so i was amazing that someone got upset.
8:46 pm
Minveryork

I think I was on at that time. I vaguely remember it.
8:46 pm
mkg

anyway i dont want to upset anyone. i just enjoy going on about the silly stuff that the enable dictionary is all about. i dont take this so seriously i guess and others do.
8:46 pm
lbdawger

mkg, i'd probably get on and say sorry if i upset you, and leave it at that.
8:46 pm
mkg

min you may have been. it was morning my time. i dont even recall who it was.. but someone wrote that i had upset the nicest person on the grid chat. i felt so bad.
8:47 pm
lbdawger

it's the strangest things that can upset people. Just keep playing and enjoy yourself!
8:47 pm
Minveryork

I upset a babbler by my greeting.They asked me NOT to greet her. I apologized and now I do not greet her
8:47 pm
72 Temple Owl

hey dawg!
8:47 pm

alot of times here i feel as if i have offended ppl too mkg although it is never my intention
8:48 pm

I will still chat with her, but I also respect her wishes
8:48 pm
jillibus

mkg -- just try to fugeddabahdit!
8:48 pm
mkg

ty ibdawger. i just dont want anyone upset. life is too short to get upset by stuff here. to me it is all a game. someone also asked me why i get upset by the enable dict. i dont but i do find it silly so i mention that i never heard of the word.
8:49 pm
jillibus

We all get a laugh from enable
8:49 pm
lbdawger

TO!
8:49 pm
72 Temple Owl

hey is nut still here?
8:50 pm
lbdawger

!
8:50 pm
mkg

thanks all. i thought i would forever be banned from the chat. i didnt ask for clues for several days after. tonight is first time i am back to chat. i think there should be a rule: no matter what dont get upset. who knows who we are and what we think or believe. we are from all over the world, probably from many different backgrounds. oh i recall what i said: i said that the pharisee's were a group not leaders of the jews, just a group of jews. that was it. and i spelled it pharisie's, not with 2 e's. but then i looked and it is with two e's. it was the spelling that got to whoever the person was. i wish i could recall who it was.
8:50 pm
jillibus

I'm getting nowhere with the grid -- too fascinated by chat
8:51 pm

jilli can i clue you?

hi peeps!! I agree - its one of the reasons I dont chat much anymore - too many people take things the wrong way. Its a shame - I used to enjoy the banter that used to go on sometimes for hours - but now Im just really scared of offending someone.

8:54 pm
joso

I accedently upset someone once too mkg, with a typo. I ment to say horrible fate but typed horriblr fat, she thought I was calling her fat. I explained and appolgised, not enough. I keept explaining and applogizing untill the appology was accepted. this was all at the same sesion though, I think with time past it is probally best to just move on unless the person in question raises the subject again. if that happens then explane and appologise
8:54 pm
Dachef

especially with my sense of humour. Me and Nutty once had a 3-hours discussion about poo recipes - remember that? I miss all that stuff.....:)

I want to tell you a bit more about Dilly. She was 86, and really loved Babble. She didn't chat much because she never learned to type, and then was a bit disabled in one hand because of a previous mild stroke, so she couls only use one finger. She only got a computer about 2 years ago, because she wanted to keep her mind going. She was a math teacher and a math whiz. She helped other seniors (free) with their income tax returns every year and was on the team to do it again. She ran the duplicate bridge club here, setting out boards, organising play, checking scores and reporting them for publication. She had a great sense of humour (sometimes a bit risque) and had lived in many places in the world. She was a gentle woman.
