The main reason is that Dr God hasn't given me his version of the Enable Dictionary, so sometimes there is a word or two I have extra. I don't know where dr god is.

2:37 am

jillibus

I only know because my dad wrote some verses and used that gimmick

2:47 am

bananafour

2:47 am

jillibus

That's what I was talking about, Lickety -- mrp may remember -- cousin was Ian Clunies-Ross, in Aus

2:48 am

jillibus

it's a disease, banana

2:48 am

licketySplitAUS

is a disease which infects rabbits. It is caused by the myxoma virus. First observed in Uruguay in the late 1800s, it was deliberately introduced into Australia and the United Kingdom in an attempt to control rabbit infestation and population there; see rabbits in Australia.

2:48 am

Andree

back again

2:48 am

bananafour

oh gross...I like the rabbits

2:49 am

jillibus

wb andree

2:49 am

licketySplitAUS

A vaccine is available for pet rabbits, but is illegal in Australia because of fears that the immunity conferred by the vaccine could be transmitted through the wild rabbit population, because the vaccine uses a live virus, the Shope fibroma virus.

2:49 am

Andree

just looking back in the grid for clues

6:54 am

Merk

Good morning

6:54 am

Merk

Taking a peek at the grid before I make breakfast.

6:54 am

KatieMcG

morning merk :-)

6:54 am

Jacula

Hi everyone. We picked our turkey (a 12lb one) up from the butcher's yesterday. It's not frozen so it's sitting in a cool outhouse at present. What a price turkeys are this year! Nearly £38 was the cost of ours!

6:55 am

Gkmandy

this is a hard puzzle

6:55 am

carleekat

hi merk....jacs....gk...and hydra

6:55 am

Gkmandy

how many works?

6:55 am

Jacula

A tip for safely thawing your turkey - instead of taking it into a warm room, immerse it in cold water (this defrosts it quicker) and pull out the giblets as soon as you can get them free.

6:55 am

Gkmandy

hi carlee

6:55 am

KatieMcG

We went Bernard Matthews, really cheap due to the problems he's had this year. It serves 8-10 people and was only £10

6:56 am

KatieMcG

My turkey is currently locked in a cupboard, oh the joys of 3 cats!!

6:56 am

Gkmandy

how many words I mean

6:56 am

Jacula

Katie - so yours is a 12lb-er, too.

6:56 am

pinkhatlil

jacula you have to remember the outbreak of the bird flu. they said the price of turkeys would shoot up dramatically.

6:56 am

carleekat

i just pour a whole bottle of wine over it....then cook in the wine...the alcohol will kill most of the bacteria... and yes pull giblets free...( and simmer in more white wine....drippings make EXCELLENT gravy

6:56 am

Jacula

pink - yes, I know.

6:57 am

carleekat

90

6:57 am

Gkmandy

ok ty

6:57 am

Jacula

carlee - P makes a big vat of gravy from the giblets. He'll do that Monday night as we're cooking the turkey then.

6:57 am

carleekat

i cook drunk turkey EVERy year

6:58 am

KatieMcG

I've got the beef in another cupboard, I really don't like turkey

6:58 am

Jacula

carlee - Do you get the turkey drunk before you kill it so that it doesn't know or care? LOL

6:59 am

carleekat

no... but my hubby used to work on a turkey farm

6:59 am

KatieMcG

LOL Jac

6:59 am

pinkhatlil

LOL

6:59 am

Jacula

I'm getting the beef out to defrost later today as we're having that on Boxing Day when we have 9 for dinner.

6:59 am

carleekat

one of the funniest stories I ever heard... it pretty gross...very cruel..but everytime I hear it..or think about it I almost cry I laugh so hard remembering the first time I heard it

7:00 am

Jacula

Katie - I'm not a great fan of turkey meat either. I prefer duck or chicken.

7:00 am

Jacula

Go on, carlee...

7:00 am

carleekat

i like duck and goose.

7:00 am

KatieMcG

I cook both on Christmas day and then we have both cold on Boxing Day. It's our first Christmas living together and Mari & Mr Mari are coming round for it, we can't wait!!

7:00 am

Gkmandy

it's 8:00 and the store is not open(they open at 8am)

7:00 am

carleekat

ok..well.. a 20 pound bird starts off about 40 pounds ( feathers...and all th eparts we don't get )

7:01 am

carleekat

and has a wing span with feathers... of about 3 feet

7:01 am

carleekat

it was kill day... won't go into detals...not fun..but it happens

7:02 am

carleekat

he was chasing after a BIG bird...probably one that would end up 26-30 pound

7:02 am

carleekat

the wing caught him in the groin...

7:02 am

carleekat

and the "herd" had been very difficult...he'd been nipped...scratched...etc....and just generally in a gnarly mood

7:02 am

carleekat

he went nuts...flipped out on the bird...

7:03 am

carleekat

so imagine what allways happens to daffy duck in cartoons...he did it to the bird

7:03 am

carleekat

spinning..jumping... go "cartoon mode" its prettier

7:04 am

Uniquity

Good morning babble, I am here to stick my stuffy, congested, barely breathin self into the grid!

7:04 am

Gkmandy

4mins late to open hmm

7:05 am

carleekat

then he hung it up..non challant... like u do all the rest of the birds...by the feet...it ended upin processing...( pulling out featehrs etc )... and one of the girls poked her heard out...um... everything ok out there?....kevin yelled back..."utility bird"

7:05 am

carleekat

<tackle hug> for uni

7:05 am

Jacula

*Tries to remember what used to happen to Daffy duck.*

7:06 am

Jacula

Poor, Uniquity.

7:06 am

carleekat

7:07 am

KatieMcG

Hubby2b is sitting with Rhubarb on his lap, the first time she has gotten on him since we got her in June, I think he will be there until midnight as there is no way he is moving her off!!

Gkmandy

Gkmandy

7:13 am

7:13 am

carleekat

Uniquity

Like the superstore or sobeys 5.99 bin

7:14 am

Gkmandy

7:14 am

Gkmandy

7:14 am

Gkmandy

7:14 am

Uniquity

7:15 am

pinkhatlil

fireworks bye bye all

7:15 am

Uniquity

Hey pink! Bye pink! Enjoy your day!

7:15 am

Mom

good morning everyone

7:15 am

Jacula

I prefer the original with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey in the lead roles. I cried buckets over that when I first saw it in my teens. I bought a copy about 10 years ago and sat there thiking how young and hot-headed they all seemed, and that it was all such a silly waste due to youthful impatience and lack of communication. LOL

7:15 am

Mom

congrats Pink

7:16 am

Uniquity

Yeah, but the key word there is was. He fell out of the limelight a long time ago, therefore...cheapie bins. Just like every movie I truly enjoy from the 90s

7:16 am

carleekat

yeap... I did same jac...

7:16 am

KatieMcG

could I have a clue for the last op 5/12 please

7:16 am

Jacula

Glad it wasn't just me, carlee. I thought I'd become an 'old' cynic.

7:17 am

carleekat

i loved that movie too..and they would always start it at 1 am...stretch it out for 4 hours with commercials..( before the days of vcr's )

7:17 am

Uniquity

I really dislike Shakespeare...the thought of having to watch it in a movie just horrifies me

7:17 am

Jacula

katie - op + 'transgression/wrongdoing'

7:17 am

KatieMcG

Thanks Jac :-)

7:18 am

carleekat

oh i love shakespeare

7:18 am

Gkmandy

the online store says release date was 2003

7:19 am

Uniquity

Then it's a different one Gk. IMDB tells me 1996 as well...and they're wuite the authority, lol

7:28 am

Mom

7:28 am

Jacula

Mari - I've mailed you the recipe now.

7:29 am

ch1212

CRANBERRY PIE: cook cranberries with juice of 1 orange, 1 cup brown sugar, and about 2/3 cup water. Then add 1/4 tsp all spice, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and boil till berries pop. Remove from heat. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 small apple chunked.... put into pie crust and bake at 325 for 50 minutes or until done.

7:30 am

evanonut

if i were to compare the purse to a car myself, i'd call it a cadillac escalade...dang wish that would remind me the name

7:30 am

Jacula

Well done, Katie and Merk. 7 left here.

7:30 am

KatieMcG

when my Neice was about 2 she handed a present back to a friend of my borthers with the words "me no like" the whole family has been traumatised every since in case we get a me no like.

7:30 am

Mom

that is what mine is. I haven't seen a leather coach in some time. Seems to all be cloth

7:30 am

ch1212

My beloved made cranberry pie and a special tartlet for me yesterday ... mmmmmm.... and someone just asked for a recipe for cranberries.

7:30 am

72 Temple Owl

tignanello...franco sarto

7:30 am

Mom

congrats Katie

7:30 am

Uniquity

Wow Katie...as "cute" as that seems from a kid, I would have been spanked and sent to my room for a year if I did that!

7:31 am

KatieMcG

She is now coming on 8 and if she really hates a present she says "that just what I've always wanted", more manners but the effect is the same!!

7:31 am

72 Temple Owl

stone maountain..gianni nernini

7:31 am

KatieMcG

Uni - my brother was mortified and the error of her ways were pointed out :-)

7:31 am

evanonut

coudl be stone mountain

7:32 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my..i have always admired my brother's wife's grace under tthose circumstances, and wishing i could develop same

7:32 am

Uniquity

That would be an awkward little bit, I'm sure!

7:32 am

BabbleRabble

I think one of those shopping baskets at walmart and supermarkets would be excellent purses

7:32 am

Mom

Have to go ... have to go to the store, didn't have enough confectioner sugar to make the buckeyes.

7:32 am

Mom

lol Babble, and good morning

7:33 am

KatieMcG

It's only funny because we weren't there!! It would have been dreadful to be in the room

7:33 am

carleekat

what is a buckeye?

7:33 am

BabbleRabble

hello, peoples

7:33 am

evanonut

yeah, its a stone mountain purse i'm supposed to buy

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

brab, think it's time for you to declutter

7:33 am

evanonut

wow ahundred and fifty smackaroos

7:33 am

KatieMcG

I'd better go, we have visitors coming and need to grab some lunch first. See you all tomorrow.

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

NO WAY! SERIOUSLY!

7:34 am

Mom

it is peanut butter, confec. sugar, butter and vanilla. Mixed together and rolled in a ball. Inser a toothpick and set in the refrig. preferably over night

7:34 am

KatieMcG

On the bright side nut that's much cheaper than a Louis V

7:34 am

evanonut

well, that's what my dad handed me....i didn't think i'd actually need it all

7:34 am

carleekat

ah ok...

7:34 am

Jacula

carlee - there's a recipe for Buckeyes in BabAnon. I think it's BJ's sister's recipe.

7:34 am

Mom

the you melt a 1/4 slab of parafin with a bag of choc chips in a double boiler and dip the peanut butter mixture

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

there is no stone mountain purse that costs that much. i was admiring a coach leather yesterday for 178

7:34 am

Mom

Stone Mountain is an excellent purse

7:34 am

KatieMcG

*quickly realises she spends more on handbags than most people and shuffles off in shame*

7:34 am

evanonut

i hate louie v, i swear i ever get rich, in not buyin stuff just for the name

7:35 am

carleekat

( apparently I do too katie )

7:35 am

Jacula

Louis Vitton! That's the brand i was trying to remember. Thanks Katie.

7:35 am

carleekat

* joining katie in corner...and grabbing handbags to compare *

7:35 am

evanonut

ok, i needs breakfast

7:35 am

Mom

see y'all later

7:35 am

Jacula

I think it looks awful with the name all over it.:(

7:35 am

72 Temple Owl

my mom had a saying (well actually she had many) re purses

7:35 am

KatieMcG

Carlee you have no idea how much better you have made me feel :-)

7:36 am

BabbleRabble

don't understand this handbag thing ... rent a U-haul

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

actually, b-rab, one can rent a purse if one deisres a high end one that one cannot afford to buy

7:36 am

Uniquity

I like CHEAP and big...as I tend to bring a book, some crosswords, some lipgloss and a zillion other unnecessary items with me at all times. A u-haul would suit me

7:36 am

Jacula

LOL, BabRab. (I guess you've seen the size of my handbags!)

7:37 am

carleekat

but one time katie..i found this funky orange sherbert coloured purse made of the "jellies shoes" plasitic... had GREAT clasp..cost me some absurd ammount of $ ( like 10.00 ) and I got SO Many compliments on that stupid bag

7:37 am

72 Temple Owl

it's an on line thing, and allows purse afficiandos to always have the in thing

7:38 am

KatieMcG

I'm really into Radley bags. I want a briefcase for work but it is £220 and even for me I find that hard to justify. To quote Hubby2be "what is it with those bloody scottie dogs"

7:38 am

mari

Thanks Jacula - it hasn't come through yet but I'll watch out for it

7:38 am

carleekat

i have always wanted a "carpet bag"

7:39 am

Jacula

Are you a wannabe Mary Poppins, carlee? *grins*

7:39 am

KatieMcG

damn caught in the handbag chat by mom

7:39 am

Jacula

y/w, Mari.

7:39 am

carleekat

no..i'd just love one for overnights

We got over 8 inches of the white stuff yesterday and it is very cold, up to 20 now.

9:20 am

Anniebrook

you are having a white christmas, then

9:21 am

rumplestiltskin

Yes Anniebrook, looks like it. The snow plow has been down the road 8 times. We donated some land across the street for a fire station and I think that has a lot to do with clean roads.

9:22 am

Anniebrook

that was a wise donation and a very kind one to the town

9:23 am

rumplestiltskin

Well, we are 20 miles from town and the nearest fire station was about 7 miles away, so we fixed it.

9:24 am

rumplestiltskin

The nice thing is that it is manned 24-7 and there is a paramedic w/rescue truck. I worry about my husband out in the field putting up hay in the summer and it is handy to have there.

9:25 am

Anniebrook

rumple, you certainly did, good for you

9:26 am

Anniebrook

rumple, I live in Brooklyn and you are on a farm, quite the contrast

{{{woof}}}
I mean {{poof}}

12:29 pm

Brookie

Does anyone need any clues?

12:29 pm

jesdraggon

i'm sure i shall shortly, brookie, but first i'm trying to work down the list :)

12:30 pm

bekki

i need help with the Js

12:30 pm

jesdraggon

many variations on genie

12:30 pm

Judi

Afternoon, all!

12:31 pm

Brookie

the 2nd and 3rd ji's build on the 1st one

12:31 pm

jesdraggon

hey judi

12:31 pm

Brookie

good afternoon, my fellow tri-state-arean

12:33 pm

Judi

Wish us luck. Hubby and I are going carpet browsing today. We have pets, so we'll be looking for something that is stainproof and vomit/poop colored.

12:34 pm

jesdraggon

last ni5 please?

12:34 pm

Brookie

My parents had a brown shag rug that worked a little TOO well for that purpose, Judi! :-)

12:34 pm

jesdraggon

i recommend laminate instead of carpet, judi. throw rugs are MUCH easier to clean.

12:34 pm

Brookie

ni + six in Spanish minus last letter

12:34 pm

jesdraggon

thankee

12:35 pm

Judi

Sigh. I browsed a bit on line. Hard to really tell where color is concerned. Never know how accurate the monitor is. Shag is out of the question.

12:35 pm

darthdude

.....Nice....-.-.....I alaways thought poop colored carpets were best though so when the dog "goes" insode, it is easier to clean ^_^

12:35 pm

Judi

Carpeting will be going in the basement - lami not really an option down there. Try to keep it as warm as possible.

12:37 pm

godthaab

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!

12:39 pm

darthdude

Well That makes sense

12:43 pm

jesdraggon

first or5 please?

12:44 pm

jesdraggon

nm. found it.

12:44 pm

Brookie

glad you found it... i was struggling to think of a clue

12:45 pm

jesdraggon

"change the consonant in the middle from the other" would work

12:45 pm

jesdraggon

i had managed to forget to try the n's

12:45 pm

Brookie

I should have asked if you had the word that followed...

12:47 pm

Brookie

gotta go everyone. happy holidays! (poof)

12:47 pm

jesdraggon

's ok. i'm pretty sporadic, so there's no predicting with me ;)

12:47 pm

jesdraggon

have fun, brookie!

12:52 pm

jesdraggon

un7,32 please?

12:53 pm

jesdraggon

mn

12:53 pm

jesdraggon

nm

12:53 pm

icepyro

ya know, for someone who can beat his friends at scrabble, I am having a hard time with this kinda thing

12:54 pm

weegee

Back for a bit.. system went down, maybe due to extremely strong winds. Need clues?

12:54 pm

jesdraggon

sometimes it's easier to make the words than find them :)

12:57 pm

jesdraggon

just found 'em, weegee. thanks though :)

12:57 pm

weegee

I agree jes. I usually miss the simple on4/4, like the bitter so4/5 which was my last word

12:58 pm

jesdraggon

oh, i get hung up on the long ones. i can usually monkey the short ones, even if i don't see them right off.

12:58 pm

jesdraggon

un7 was my last

12:59 pm

weegee

Congrats to you jes! Seems quiet so I think I'll go do some errands if you'll be here to clue

12:59 pm

icepyro

as a noob who spent an hour here already without noticing this chatterbox feature even... whats the numbers in your comments mean? un7? so4/5?

12:59 pm

jesdraggon

off and on. looks like ice is the only one here besides us

12:59 pm

jesdraggon

heh. hi ice :)

1:00 pm

jesdraggon

un7 means a word that starts with un and has 7 letters

1:00 pm

icepyro

hello :)

1:00 pm

Uniquity

I am here and lurking (just returned though). The un refers to the first two letters of the word, the number after that refers to the number of letters in the word and the last number refers to the total points of the word.

1:00 pm

jesdraggon

hullo uni :)

1:00 pm

weegee

...well... shall I help with ice's intro? Welcome ice... warning: this will become something hard to avoid on a daily basis once you get the hang of it

1:01 pm

Uniquity

Each word higher than 4 letters has a point multiplication system as follows:
5 letter word = original points X2
6 letter word = original points X3

1:01 pm

Uniquity

and so on sequentially.

1:01 pm

jesdraggon

but we always welcome new addicts...er...fanatics...er... players

1:02 pm

Uniquity

Umm...the help icon above the chatterbox is helpful (as well as angelsong's babble page and lickety's babble clues, both to be found below the grid in the "friends of babble" box)

1:02 pm

weegee

ice, the tile stats below the grid tell you how many words begin with the letters in that column. Each time you find one the number will change... this list disappears in a couple of weeks until you pay a small fee

1:02 pm

jesdraggon

the boxes below the grid (in case you haven't figured this out already) are the word count...it indicates how many words start with ea...and weegee beats me to it

1:02 pm

icepyro

heh weekends in IT are slow enough I can afford an addicting habit ;)

1:02 pm

Marc Freeman

Good morning, did anyone notice that there are no v's on Lichety's list? Oh what to do.

1:03 pm

Uniquity

There are three v on my list, marc

1:03 pm

jesdraggon

nope, hadn't noticed that, marc

1:03 pm

jesdraggon

did you find them or do you need clues?

1:03 pm

weegee

Hi Marc!

1:03 pm

Marc Freeman

Wow I refreshed the page and there they are. He weegee

1:04 pm

weegee

actually, she weegee, lol

1:04 pm

jesdraggon

ice--lickety's list is found by clicking the "licketys babble clues" link below the tile stats. it's an alphabetical list so you know how many words start with each letter, and how long they are.

1:04 pm

Marc Freeman

No clues right now just noticed that they weren't there and then by magic they appeared.

1:04 pm

Uniquity

I wonder if my "welcome to babble, this is helpful" speech didn't scare away ice?

1:05 pm

jesdraggon

you're not scary uni!

1:05 pm

weegee

Uni, I expect ice is exploring helpful links

1:05 pm

stidmama

I was just passing through -- not staying to clue this time. Judi -- I have multiple allergies, and we have two dogs in addition to the children. Our floors are laminate or vinyl for ease of cleaning and allergen-reduction. BUT because our climate is damp and chill much of the year, we have area rugs and throw rugs in many rooms. These are easier to clean, and less expensive to replace if they get stained or damaged. Just a thought.

1:05 pm

Uniquity

I just have the thing meoried, lol. Maybe Dr G should make it appear with the trial stats for first two weeks?

1:06 pm

stidmama

okay, back in a an hour or so... have a "date" with the video game and a kid. *poof*

1:06 pm

weegee

Hi stid. I agree about the throws. I wash a load of pee rugs every few days!

1:06 pm

jesdraggon

hi again, bye again, stid :)

1:07 pm

icepyro

wh00t thx jes

1:07 pm

weegee

Uni, I think it's more personal for newbs to get the intro from folks in the chat.

1:07 pm

pinkhatlil

hello everyone..in particular to icepyro welcome to the highly addictive world of babble!!!!

1:08 pm

weegee

Hi pink

1:08 pm

Hey Pink!
Weegee, that is a great point.

1:08 pm

jesdraggon

you're welcome, ice, what'd i do?

1:09 pm

Uniquity

btw, I adore your icon photo weegee, I actually laughed out loud, despite my current sickness which inhibits this

1:09 pm

pinkhatlil

weegee i like the "i beat anorexia top on your icon" LOL

1:10 pm

jesdraggon

sorry to hear you're ickly, uni. hope you feel better soon

1:10 pm

weegee

thanks, glad to share smiles but after posting it I thought maybe it's too politically incorrect?

1:10 pm

Uniquity

How's lil pink? Starting to sleep in her own bed yet Big pink?

1:11 pm

Uniquity

I think we've had enough hubbub about icons this year...yours made me laugh, which is a beautiful thing

1:12 pm

jesdraggon

meh. people need a little bit of un-pc'ing sometimes, weegee

1:12 pm

icepyro

erm I didnt notice Uni already pointed out some of the 'friends of babble' links but I had originally thought that to be just another box o ads worth ignoring

1:12 pm

weegee

all good, then. Hard to have too many laughs.

1:13 pm

weegee

ice, I thought that too!

1:13 pm

jesdraggon

ah. well, lickety is a life-saver :) or at least, a major grid-finishing-help

1:14 pm

Anniebrook

1:14 pm

Uniquity

Hi Annie!

1:26 pm

Uniquity

1:26 pm

1:27 pm

Anniebrook

1:27 pm

jesdraggon

enjoy the shower, pink. feel better soon

1:27 pm

Uniquity

Bye Pink!

1:28 pm

1:28 pm

weegee

1:28 pm

Uniquity

Oh, if I can't taste them, I'll make more later! All the people here will enjoy them

1:29 pm

Uniquity

(plus Santa, of course:))

1:30 pm

jesdraggon

yay!

1:32 pm

icepyro

ok licketys clues are almost too helpful.. at least for the 4 letter words... i.e. is this even a word? *tries* it is?! what does it mean?!@#@

1:32 pm

Uniquity

If you click the little question mark next to the word (in the list right next to the grid) it will give you a definition usually. Babble uses enable dictionary...it's nutty

1:33 pm

icepyro

I noticed and have like 5 dictionary windows already from it lol

1:34 pm

Robo-bonobo

hi guys. need some help with my last 2 words, please

1:34 pm

jesdraggon

ni+negative prefix

1:34 pm

Uniquity

icepyro

ironically that was the first of the v words I got because I had played starcraft so much and its pronounced the same

2:45 pm

icepyro

er.. nm I dunno what Is talkin bout

2:46 pm

icepyro

muse.. I also like the 'thats a word? check dictionary.. its not there!' couple Ive found so far

2:51 pm

mymuseisme

icepyro, the ? is linked to dictionary.com. This grid utilizes the Enable dictionary, a free, web-based dictionary.

2:52 pm

icepyro

er... enable dictionary?

2:53 pm

mymuseisme

so some words are not listed or recognized by dictionary.com and vice versa for enable.

2:53 pm

3:51 pm

FMitch

There is .. there are giant mushrooms and a couple of dinosaurs if I remember correctly. Not very varied though.

3:51 pm

icepyro

alrighty.. im up to 3 words (well 2) not in dictionary.com that I would love to hear the definition to cuz I dont have a clue and made up the combination and it was accepted lol

3:51 pm

Oh! Dinosaurs can be scrumptious when lightly sauted with herbs.

3:52 pm

FMitch

lol take nut with you (still veging) and that give you more food. tenuous I know but I'm tired :)

3:53 pm

Vicuna

4:28 pm

Kerek

I'm having trouble with words beginning with P...

4:29 pm

Uniquity

There are two pe...I didn't notice that for the longest time. Most of them start pen, as well

4:30 pm

Kerek

Thankoo

4:30 pm

renfield

1st pe 4 = pe + opposite of out

4:31 pm

Kerek

I've got that one

4:31 pm

renfield

pe 5/12 = writing stick + singular of are

4:32 pm

Kerek

:o

4:32 pm

renfield

2nd pe 5/12 = sounds like one cent

4:32 pm

Uniquity

Ren, I love your profile...I've always loved pirates...and am super glad the movies have put popularity on them over ninjas (if you know that age old battle), lol

4:35 pm

renfield

uni - i don't know the age old battle - i grew up around the history and one of the "homes" of jean lafitte

4:36 pm

Uniquity

That sounds very classical and extremely interesting...I enjoy all history, but the reality vs myth of piracy is fascinating

4:36 pm

Kerek

Thanks for the clooze, renfield

4:36 pm

renfield

do ye be needing more kerek?

4:37 pm

bfsog

anyone got the ji's? i got the one that sounds like a sewing instrument

4:38 pm

Kerek

Still need 4 that begin with S

4:38 pm

renfield

ji 4/9 = sounds like the alcohol w/ a double consonant ending

4:38 pm

Kerek

Pretty sure they're words I'm unfamiliar with

4:39 pm

Kerek

(but I thought that about the Ps too, and ended up looking like a ____)

4:39 pm

Uniquity

Well there is a french gentleman, the math term, the taste similar to bitter, the things you put in fod for flavour and the backbone...

4:39 pm

Uniquity

And by French, I REALLY mean Spanish. My apologies.

4:39 pm

icepyro

i was gonna say

4:39 pm

Kerek

Thanks Uni. Got it

4:40 pm

renfield

ji 5/20 = sounds like a girls name 2nd ji 5/20 sonds liek the plural of mutiple acohol drinkie poos as does ji 4/9

4:40 pm

bfsog

ty renfield, i have the alcohol plus its plural, still need a ji 5,20

4:40 pm

icepyro

think genie

4:40 pm

Uniquity

I think one is a variant on the way you could spell a genie, and the other is as well (just with a plural)

4:41 pm

renfield

that's the ji 5/20 hat sounds like the girls name

4:41 pm

bfsog

thanks

4:42 pm

icepyro

I usually spell the jis with a d first so it took me a moment to realize the different spelling was present

4:42 pm

icepyro

13 to go... its only taken me 4 hours so far lol

4:42 pm

Uniquity

The varied spellings of enable will never cease to amaze

4:43 pm

angelinaxox

fireworks here

4:43 pm

icepyro

I would love to see a copy of this dictionary... just to look up a few words that I couldnt even guess the meaning

4:43 pm

Uniquity

Yay Angelina!! **quick fire baton display**

4:43 pm

angelinaxox

thanks uni!

4:44 pm

jillibus

icepro -- you can get the meaning by clicking on the ? beside the word in your list (if there is a meaning,lol)!

4:45 pm

Uniquity

icepyro, if you e-mail lickety (address can be found on his clues page) and requst babble expert, in the resources section there are a bunch of lists of all the accepted words

4:45 pm

jillibus

hi all -- I have 4 left

4:45 pm

icepyro

thats what Im talkin about... it uses dictionary.com and these words arent there :(

4:45 pm

Uniquity

I think a2zdictionary.com is one of them

4:46 pm

angelinaxox

hi jilli

4:46 pm

jillibus

hi angelina

4:46 pm

jillibus

I guess icepyro didn't see my post

4:47 pm

renfield

hi jilli - sorry i deserted you guys this morning

4:47 pm

Uniquity

Also, www.morewords.com

4:47 pm

Uniquity

Go Jilli Go!!!

4:47 pm

jillibus

And I believe Lickety prefers that people go pro before he sends BabbleExpert

4:47 pm

jillibus

nm, ren -- I wasn't here this morning ;)

4:47 pm

Uniquity

Oh. He gave it to me, so I assumed it was for all. Ignore me then! :)

4:48 pm

renfield

maybe it was last night jilli :)

4:48 pm

icepyro

morewords and a2zdictionary and a2zwordfinder all verify the words existence... does nothing for meaning

4:48 pm

jillibus

Well, uni, that used to be his policy -- he felt it was unfair to DrG to give it away without supporting him

4:49 pm

Uniquity

Well icepyro, there is nothing I can do for you then. A lot of words come from other languages, as well.

4:49 pm

jillibus

icepyro, that's why I suggested clicking on the ? beside the words in your list

4:49 pm

Kerek

http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegre
ndel/software.html

4:49 pm

Uniquity

Jilli - makes a lot of sense. I feel guilty, but there are circumstances which I am working to overcome. Until then, I am simply grateful for expert!

4:50 pm

jillibus

Expert is great!!!

4:50 pm

icepyro

jilibus.. I am looking for meanings to the words that are in my list but not on dictionary.com (the ? goes to dictionary.com)

4:51 pm

angelinaxox

i just got babble pro last week and anyone can email lickety for it, but he does encourage anyone who isn't pro that gets it, to go pro if they can

4:51 pm

Uniquity

Have you tried google?

4:51 pm

jillibus

what's the matter with dictionary.com? The ? gives other references too.

Yes, I have chatted with him here.

6:47 pm

Dorens

he could make money playing scrabble, I'm sure. He almost always gets two bingo's per game. (was he being very silly scrabs?)

6:48 pm

mymuseisme

great scores, and good racks

6:48 pm

Scrabbler

With my impulsive plays on Scrabble I have often helped friends get over 400 pts. I get impatient and then say, "What the he**."

6:48 pm

Dorens

He is now engaged to Jaime, who is the best thing that ever happened to him.... I'm sure sje

6:48 pm

Dorens

she's the reason behind his going back to college

6:49 pm

Scrabbler

That is great for David.

6:49 pm

Dorens

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

Scrabbler

David is always silly here and that is fine with me as I specialize in silliness.

6:50 pm

Scrabbler

YW, Featherbee! Haha. I often gamble with offense and forget about defense in Scrabble.

6:51 pm

Scrabbler

Much of our snow has melted but more is on the way.

6:51 pm

Dorens

don't know if you're lucky for that or not, scrabbler?

6:52 pm

Dorens

phone call...(my sister).. good night all

6:52 pm

Scrabbler

There is a ski resort across the valley from me and I wish them success this Xmas break. They get 1/3 of their income during Xmas break so if the weather sucks they lose out.

6:53 pm

7:29 pm

lady -- did you ever get to the movies yesterday?

7:29 pm

stidmama

I wrote TWO chapters in the babblestory! (hadn't written anything in six weeks...)

7:29 pm

mymuseisme

you sound very excited!

7:30 pm

stidmama

I am very excited. I was worried I couldn't do it any more...

7:30 pm

mymuseisme

a gemini is rarely at a loss for words for long ;)

7:31 pm

stidmama

rofl... true enough. Anyway, finished the grid earlier, os if anyone needs help, I am now back and ready to help

7:32 pm

stidmama

muse, I LOVE russian teacakes... Mother used to make them every year this season. I just asked Tom and a stidkid to make something similar... I can smell them baking now!

7:32 pm

stidmama

(the cookies I can smell, not Tom and the stidkid) *giggle*

7:32 pm

mymuseisme

lololol

7:33 pm

mymuseisme

I always knew them as "snowballs"

7:34 pm

stidmama

yes, and they lasted about as long, too -- the minute our hot little hands got hold of 'em!

7:34 pm

mymuseisme

lol yep, when I made them and brought them into work they were gone in 10 minutes

7:35 pm

stidmama

sounds about right. :-) Do you get a few days off now? Any plans?

7:36 pm

mymuseisme

off til Wednesday, cooking for my brother and wife and kids in the am, in-laws in the evening

7:36 pm

mymuseisme

how's bout you?

7:36 pm

stidmama

doing well. tom works most of the week, so the kids and I will just have some quiet this week. We need it.

7:38 pm

mymuseisme

I've got a lot of wrapping to do though

7:39 pm

stidmama

sounds like you're doing a lot of cooking... I like to cook, but just don't have the energy for the cleaning up after, so we have minimized our work the last few holidays.

7:40 pm

stidmama

Lots of people I know have been shopping and wrapping this weekend. We decided when our elder was born this month that his birthday would be the event -- and so we really don't do anything else this time of year.

7:41 pm

mymuseisme

well I split it with my mother-in-law, we do lasagna and spiral ham for dinner; the morning I make bacon, eggs, french toast when they come back from church

7:41 pm

mymuseisme

ooooh, hubby is offering to help me wrap a few things now, bbl

7:42 pm

stidmama

that's a really good plan! We don't do holidays with either set of parents -- they're not available usually, so we just do quiet things for ourslves.

7:42 pm

stidmama

later muse!

7:42 pm

mymuseisme

I love this time of year though it can be tiring sometimes; I just try to spread things out

7:42 pm

stidmama

and since it seems we two are the only ones here at the moment, I will follow you out! *wanders out of babble room to find something yummy to eat*

7:43 pm

Jacula

Hello stid and mymuse. (Though I seem to have just missed muse.) I'm feeling every aching muscle in my body right now, having cleaned most of the house to within an inch of its life today.

7:43 pm

wish my place was big enough for both sides of the family at once, but then they have their sides of the family also coming, lol

7:49 pm

herinfernallady

Yep. Oh well not to worry i was fairly cranky myself

7:49 pm

Jacula

stid - Well, when you have to do Thanksgiving (which we don't here in UK) not long before Christmas, I guess it's a bit much!

7:49 pm

stidmama

I hope your Christmas will be lovely and restful Jacula, do you have to clean anything else? Or can you be a lady of leisure for a few hours?

7:50 pm

stidmama

lady, you are definitely looking better, but I wish you would smile. you're a pretty young lady!

7:50 pm

herinfernallady

I was tired.

7:51 pm

stidmama

7:51 pm

Jacula

Stid - I was about to say the same re the blog pics. You look so cross in them, Herin.

7:51 pm

Jacula

hello pam!

7:59 pm

jilli - I spent nearly 20 years doing all the cooking and washing up myself at Christmas. That was during my marriage. Since I've been with Paul, he helps out 50/50 with all of that and we entertain more people, I get to see them (rather than being stuck in the kitchen) and it's so much easier. He has been helping me with the cleaning today, also.

8:44 pm

Jacula

Hi, TO. That weather is forecast for here in UK tomorrow.

8:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

however, i cannot nbake as i seem to lack at least one ingredient from each cookie i want to make

8:44 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Jacula! I am home in Vermont this year for x-mas

8:45 pm

stidmama

TO, have you tried taking the things you DO have and looking at what recipes fit them? I did that yesterday...

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

Jacula

'Bye, Min. Hello Min's sis! Don't be mean to Mind over Christmas and stop her Babbling!

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

stid they're a cheat. you use refrigerated sugar cookie dough, make jelly roll of pistachio and cocoa flavored dough, slice & bake

8:48 pm

stidmama

brb

8:49 pm

stidmama

oh -- no, there's Tom gone to check the banana bread for me

8:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i also havee a "poor man;s kiffle" which is another cheat

8:49 pm

Jacula

There's no shame in Christmas cooking 'cheats'.

8:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

and quite easy. the kiffle filling is spread on club crackers and baked. they taste wonderful

8:50 pm

lbdawger

baking shortcuts are not cheats, TO. they are saving graces to all of us!

8:50 pm

Jacula

I wish I liked banana bread. But I don't!

8:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, in this there is. god knows what hydrogenated shortening they use. at least with butter you KNOW what it is

8:50 pm

stidmama

I like banana bread with chocolate sauce

8:51 pm

stidmama

and I like cookies with chocolate sauce. and I like chicken with choclate sauce (we call it mole -- mole-ay)....

8:51 pm

lbdawger

i like banana bread as long as it doesn't smell too banananay.

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i like babana with choclate in it

8:52 pm

Jacula

My recipe book I'm compiling (all recipes tried out and edited/alatered for family taste by me) is getting almost as big as the Italian 'Silver Spoon' book!

8:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

yeech! dipping in the eggnog again

8:52 pm

lbdawger

hmmm, stid...do you like chocolate? lol

8:52 pm

Jacula

8:52 pm

lbdawger

8:58 pm

Jacula

stid - on the chatlog with your icon, before clicked on, it looks like Sirius Black from Harry Potter moves.

8:58 pm

stidmama

okay, so you caught me. I like almost everything with chocolate. Except lemon. To me, lemon doesn't help chocolate and choclate jsut makes the lemon bitter...

8:58 pm

stidmama

LOL shhhh! *my secret identity is blown*

8:58 pm

Jacula

Lemon goes with passion fruit or mango. Orange goes with chocolate.

8:59 pm

Jacula

Oops! Sorry Stid.

8:59 pm

Ping

i agree that lemon with chocolate is a bad marriage

9:01 pm

Ping

Jilli, amazingly as close to the Canada border as we are, we do get some of the lovely treats of our northern friends. red rose...i'll have to put that on my shopping list.

9:24 pm

jillibus

Here's to it, and from it, and to it again. If you get to it and don't do it, may you never get to it to do it again. Trees do it and sigh, bees do it and die, so why don't you and I? Here's to it and to it and to it again, if you get to it and don't do it, may you never get to it to do it again... :D

9:24 pm

jillibus

That was a raise the glass to jac, lol

9:25 pm

jillibus

A sobriety test, you see.

9:26 pm

Ping

i raise glass to jill, jac, and dawg!

9:26 pm

Jacula

Sorry, jilli, but I did fall in love again. I'd promisedmyself I never would do.. but I did. Won't do it again though. This guy's for life and, if it goes wrong.... I'm not going down that road again. There are only so many times you can mend something that is broken.

9:27 pm

Jacula

Thank you, Ping!

9:28 pm

jillibus

You can do it lots of times, jac, lol!

9:28 pm

9:29 pm

Ping

good night - if i don't see you tomorrow, have peaceful holidays

9:29 pm

jilli - if my answer of fall in love was right,then I've done it.

9:29 pm

jillibus

I'm not getting supper started...this is too much fun

9:30 pm

jillibus

aww, jac -- sweeet, and here's a toast to your love

9:30 pm

lbdawger

night Ping, happy holidays to you too

9:31 pm

Jacula

Truly fall in love? I guess 3 times in my life so far, and thinking about it now, that didn't inclue my husband. I guess I always knew he'd never stay by me.

9:32 pm

Jacula

Thanks, jilli! We won't let you down1

9:32 pm

jillibus

I think Cat knows I'm going away for a few days -- she's come to visit me here much more than usual and just did again. She's going to be able to saty home this time instead of being boarded, and a wonderful lady will come in twice a day and look after her.

9:33 pm

jillibus

Now I must go and get that supper -- jac, I think we're bad influences on each other, lingering here!

9:33 pm

Jacula

You're ;ucky to have a female cat there with you, jilli. Since |Kira's death, I've been left with a male one, and hie's one confused guy!

9:35 pm

jillibus

A la prochaine, gang...cookery calls

9:36 pm

Jacula

He sat by me on the sofa to wath TV the oter night and stuck his claws into the tender part at the top of my thigh. I leapt up, yelling, 'You bastard!' Other Half, sitting next to me, got a serious case of The Giggles.

9:37 pm

Jacula

Well, it wasn't his thigh, was it?

9:38 pm

Jacula

Ok, Jilli. See you later.

9:39 pm

Jacula

jilli - long may we reign being a bad influence upon each other.

Good for you. Most people I know are running around like chickens trying to "get ready"...

11:27 pm

rururocks

11:28 pm

moonwoof

Nice =) Whatcha reading?

11:28 pm

11:31 pm

NonnieLight

ruru, are the pups from one of your dogs?

11:31 pm

rururocks

yes.. a litter we had a while ago

11:32 pm

moonwoof

They're more cute than mine. That's Awful. I can't break the news to my insani-puppy...

11:32 pm

rururocks

really fun to have them... not like having babies, but boy it gave me respect for all the moms out there

11:33 pm

moonwoof

We're going to be breeding my Jack, this spring. Any tips?

11:33 pm

rururocks

they are from our dog Lily

11:33 pm

rururocks

she had 7 of them.. all really nice dogs

11:34 pm

NonnieLight

Tevka, our golden is almost 10. I would loved to have bred her but life was too hectic when she was young and I think we made the right decision.

11:34 pm

moonwoof

Wow. That's a big littler.

11:34 pm

rururocks

get plenty of rest the last couple of weeks. I can get you in touch with some great reference books. Buy lots of white towells and bleach

11:35 pm

moonwoof

I'm not getting a lotta choice in that, actually. It was a part of my agreement with the breeder, to get the dog I did.

11:35 pm

rururocks

Our friends have 13 right now

11:35 pm

rururocks

oh

11:35 pm

NonnieLight

13! Wow!

11:36 pm

moonwoof

Please, ruru, that would rock. My email is this nickname @yahoo.com

11:36 pm

rururocks

you must have a nice dog with qualities she/he wants to keep

11:36 pm

moonwoof

But i'm cool with breeding her. She's a Great dog.

11:36 pm

rururocks

will do

11:36 pm

NonnieLight

So how does that work, moon? Do they get first pick?

11:37 pm

rururocks

11:37 pm

rururocks

11:37 pm

rururocks

11:37 pm

moonwoof

She does. She's a Jack Russel. And I have to get a girl puppy for the breeder to continue her line.

11:37 pm

moonwoof

moonwoof@yahoo

11:38 pm

NonnieLight

oh, I see.

11:38 pm

rururocks

got it

11:38 pm

moonwoof

There's a small list of "not perfect" things about her, but according to every other breeder who's seen her, she's perfect.

11:39 pm

rururocks

always that way.. not nice this not nice that.. wow she is a nice bitch

11:39 pm

moonwoof

So far, if I wasn't waiting for Dawn to get her male "offering" picked I could have bred her 3 or 4 times now.

11:40 pm

rururocks

hmmm research is good though.. Be prepared for a lot of laundry.. too

11:40 pm
