Hi Fran and to you. Yours is yet to come.

3:39 am

hydra

Ooh, how exciting! The fireworks in London were brilliant, tho I only watched them on TV

3:39 am

FranMag

the fireworks are going off all around us, that's why we're hiding out inside with the windows closed and air-conditioning on.

3:39 am

Frances

The dog and I watched the fireworks last night. He loves them. Me with a glass of pink bubbly in my hand.

3:40 am

FranMag

you really know how to party frances. :-)

3:40 am

hydra

I had pink bubbly too, and saw in the New Year with my bloke and the young couple from down the road and their ten week old baby Ethan.

3:41 am

Frances

You have do something when there's just you and the dog for company. Not seeing my bloke until later today.

3:42 am

hydra

I don't think my brain can cope with Babble this morning. I can't seem to find the words. I ordered two T-shirts from Dr God's website and they arrived yesterday. They are fab. I got a tree of life one for me.

3:43 am

Frances

Don't think he makes them marquee size. I like room to squirm.

3:43 am

3:55 am

acelightning

hydra - there were fireworks in NYC at midnight, but it's almost 5 AM now. i didn't go into the city; you have to get there in early afternoon to get a place to stand, and once you're in Times Square, you can't leave until after midnight... and there are *no bathrooms*

3:56 am

FranMag

i finished a while ago hydra, i just left the window open while i'm doing other things

3:56 am

i dont know when tangle shut down, i had a bad month

9:39 am

angelinaxox

there aren't really any other competitive sites, although you can play wordscape at iwin and yahoo wordracer against others, they are not the same though as they are not boggle boards

9:39 am

LadyNatts

I was a tangler too... it was a bad month

9:40 am

angelinaxox

if you want to play a boggle board, and don't care that there is no competitive play then try www.wordtwist.org

9:40 am

LadyNatts

oilite

9:40 am

LadyNatts

good thing there's no such word, eh? my apologies

9:40 am

Uniquity

Aren't there applications on facebook which are akin to competitive boggle? Noggin and Scramble?

3:49 pm

Krista

Hmmm...maybe we are onto something big, here.

3:49 pm

musicmom

Uni - me too. I did leave all the dishes in the sink last night and got up this morning and did them. I didn't run the vacuum (it wasn't noticably needed) before the party because I knew I would need to do it today.

6:06 pm

pam

oh, that's good, dorens...

6:06 pm

sprite

so what is the problem then, Dorens? Just want more days off or is there more to it?

6:06 pm

Dorens

but they're doing construction on my school, so I have to pack up all my books, curricula, games, etc--figure out which ones I'll need for the next two weeks while they rewire my office and which go in deep storage. and deal with the mess that is my desk and file drawers

6:07 pm

Dorens

that's what i don't want to deal with, but I'll feel so much better when it's all done and I'm reorganized. i just ought to do that at home too and I'd be in much better shape.

6:07 pm

pam

ugh,,,,,,,,

6:07 pm

pam

reorganization? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

6:52 pm

icepyro

lol jilli

6:52 pm

jillibus

lol, scrab :)

6:52 pm

Scrabbler

It seems like an incomplete word as spelled, doesn't it?

6:53 pm

jillibus

It does, scrab, but it was in a recent puzzle too so it popped out of my memory bank

6:54 pm

Scrabbler

I am now enerting it into my Babble hard drive, for future retrieval, along with roti, hisn, toea, mori, inia, etc.....

6:55 pm

jillibus

lol, scrab!

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

And hebe, tirl, sori, hila, etna, and some of the goofy ones in today's grid.

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

Oooh, snowplow just went by. We got a lot of snow today and accumulation continues. We should be able to cross-country ski very soon.

6:57 pm

Mom

you will be in heaven then, Scrabbler

6:57 pm

jillibus

don't forget anoa

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, whatever that means..that isn't the hairy-nosed dolphin. Is that the temple?

6:58 pm

jillibus

and odea (I have to say "Oh deah" to myself when I sopt that one)

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

Mom, my favorite place to be is in the woods, or paddling and looking at nature.

6:58 pm

jillibus

it's the Celebes Buffalo -- the temple is naoi or (I think) stoa

6:59 pm

Mom

you are one of the most outdoorsy people I know. It is nice that you enjoy it so much

6:59 pm

jillibus

spot

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

That is where I feel closest to God and get to know Him better--to be among his glorious creations.

7:00 pm

icepyro

I personally like airn .. at least some of the others youve mentioned have easier to find definitions...

7:00 pm

pennyfinn

ne 7/48?

7:00 pm

Mom

and they are glorious, aren't they

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, yes: ait, ain, airt, and airn...

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

Adjective to do something courageously

7:01 pm

icepyro

took me forever to find a definition .. its what started my original rant about enable

7:01 pm

jillibus

the def for airn was found the other day -- if you don't airn your clothes they'll be wrinkled (in Scotland)

7:01 pm

Scrabbler

We rant about the Enable editors daily.

7:02 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Jill!

7:02 pm

icepyro

yeah I know that now, but took me quite a while

7:02 pm

Mom

20 left and I am going to call it a night. Hugs to all of you. Good night and pleasant dreams

7:02 pm

jillibus

but wouldn't it be boring if we didn't have something to rant about?

7:02 pm

jillibus

Night Mom!

7:02 pm

Mom

{{Jilli}} good night

7:03 pm

Scrabbler

Good night, Mom.

7:03 pm

Whining is an important part of life.

7:04 pm

jillibus

Scrab -- re "airn" -- see http://tinyurl.com/k4evb

7:04 pm

icepyro

would you like a little cheese with your whine? lol I say that a lot

7:06 pm

icepyro

omg, that explains so many of the words i couldnt find... musta been a scot who made enable lol

7:07 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Jill--fascinating language!

7:07 pm

icepyro

ok time for a list I guess... I havent found a word on my own ina while

7:08 pm

jillibus

there's the definition of airn somewhere in there -- but I see there's a lot of airt on the home page

7:08 pm

Scrabbler

I just opened BJ's list, with 13 to go. It is easier than asking for what I am missing.

7:09 pm

jillibus

I've been chatting too much -- stuck with 17 to go, must focus...

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

airn = iron, the metallic element.

7:09 pm

jillibus

yes, scrab, and the heavy anti-wrinkle thing

7:10 pm

icepyro

jilli... you can 'Gang' the word on the left side

7:14 pm

featherbee

now i'm in the midst of deciding what airport to fly out of. do i want to use the airport that is extremely close to my house, yet pay 300 more and have a connecting flight in philadelphia, or do i want to drive 3 hours to white plains for a nonstop ticket for 300 less?

7:15 pm

Scrabbler

The second option, Feather.

7:15 pm

featherbee

boy, seeing it typed out like that, white plains seems the smarter option

7:15 pm

angel13136

7:15 pm

jillibus

direct flights are nice...

7:15 pm

featherbee

7:16 pm

Minveryork

7:39 pm

droledevie

ahhh now i see

droledevie

a good clue for that one would be a shakespearean form of between, -be

7:41 pm

Uniquity

Oh...Frig. Sorry. Was on the wrong tw5. Apologies!!

mymuseisme

lol, that would depend on who's asking...since you're new (to me at least) I tend to take it easy unless I know you prefer more challenging clue

7:41 pm

Uniquity

et5 - et + a word for very small

7:42 pm

droledevie

Congratulations Scrabbler!!

7:53 pm

pam

Scrabs, how is Mary?

7:53 pm

I'm splurging just a little right now.

Laptops are amazing creatures Scrabbler, but not necessities (such as plumbing)

7:53 pm

pam

Some good sales now, dox..

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

Pam, I spent 2 hrs with MAry and her husband last evening. She mostly slept as the intense PT makes her tired.

7:54 pm

Uniquity

Did he get to spend the night with her as planned?

7:55 pm

pam

(((((())))))) scrabs...

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

When she awoke she just said, "I love you." She is so brave and unselfish. Yes, he slept over last night. She will start 2 chemo agents Thursday now that her bone marrow production has recovered from radation.

7:55 pm

Uniquity

Oh wow Scrabbler. I am glad he could spend time with her, that would be important for both

7:56 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Scrabbler on fireworks!Good for you

7:56 pm

doxy1lover

that sounds like it was very nice for both of them.

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

He estimates 6 more wks of hospitalization for PT and to see how she reacts to chemo. Chemo will cont indefinitely--until tumor is gone!

7:56 pm

pam

I am glad her marrow production has recovered...

7:56 pm

pam

Has she been able to swallow?

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

Mary's head is now shaved--she let her sister-in-law do it. Mary was fed up with wispy hair.

7:57 pm

doxy1lover

Fireworks!!

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

She still has some swallowing issues and is recovering from aspiration pneumonia that hit her Xmas eve.

7:57 pm

pam

She sounds so strong in her weakness, Scrabs...

7:57 pm

7:58 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations doxy1lover on fireworks! Good for U

7:59 pm

doxy1lover

how old are her children?

7:59 pm

mymuseisme

Scrab, will continue to keep her in my prayers...glad to hear she's still in good spirits

7:59 pm

Scrabbler

The baby is now 12 wks old and Mary has had so little involvement with her so far. The older kids are 7 and 3 1/2/

8:00 pm

doxy1lover

that sounds so hard for her and the kids.

8:00 pm

pam

Yay, dox@!

8:00 pm

Uniquity

Did they find the cancer before she had the baby?

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

The older kids are struggling at times, as expected. They want their mommy home.

8:02 pm

pam

Of course they want their mommy... it's just so sad...

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

She had symptoms for 5 wks, then labor was induced 3 wks before the due date, and a MRI revealed 5 brain tumors 2 days after delivery. Brain surgery was done 5 days after delivery and 2 tumors were removed. The others are inoperable.

8:02 pm

Uniquity

Oh wow. That is a stressful period for all

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

It is SO sad, and still surreal to talk about or to see her.

8:03 pm

pam

I am sure, scrabs...

8:03 pm

pam

How are you holding up, scrabs?

8:03 pm

NonnieLight

Oh, scrabbler...my heart goes out to you and your friend and her family.

8:04 pm

Uniquity

Scrabbler I am impressed with all of you for holding up. That is a lot of strength

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

I am sad a lot, not depressed fortunately but afraid of a relapse. I do what I can to help her, her husband and the kids, so I feel some control in a situtation in which we have no control.

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

Mary is teaching us about strength, faith, hope, resilience and LOVE!

ti5/12 anybody? i'm stumped

9:16 pm

lbdawger

9:16 pm

tygerbryght

ti5 is archaic - has to do with farming (plowing, to be exact)

9:16 pm

lbdawger

put another consonant after the ti4...the first one, dabuds

9:16 pm

tygerbryght

a farmer ti**s the soil (2nd asterisk not correct)

10:49 pm

herinfernallady

SHady that is SILLYu

10:50 pm

Aussieme

to answer mkg's question to me, all of them are mu daughter, at different ages in her 1st year...

10:50 pm

Aussieme

my*

10:50 pm

shdybr8

what's silly, herin?

10:51 pm

Aussieme

I dont diet per se, just try to eat healthily..... only, I dont like brown bread !!!!!

10:51 pm

shdybr8

me either (on the brown bread), aussie

10:51 pm

Aussieme

yay, I have a friend !!!!!

10:52 pm

shdybr8

woohoo, me too!!! lol

10:52 pm

Aussieme

nice, thick, white, toasted bread !!

10:53 pm

shdybr8

i even try to buy different kinds of supposedly healthier white bread, just don't like the brown stuff

10:53 pm

shdybr8

toasted is the best (although i do like lots of butter)

10:53 pm

Aussieme

me too, we get a thing called 50/50 bread, white, with all the goodness of wholemeal bread...

10:53 pm

Aussieme

nope, dont do butter....

10:54 pm

Aussieme

I do dry bread, or toast dipped in soup..

10:55 pm

shdybr8

here we have pepperidge farm, who make a wholegrain white and an oatmeal that are ok, but what i really like about white bread is its softness....the oatmeal variety comes close to being soft enough

10:55 pm

Aussieme

sounds good to me shdy.... I have tried oatmeal bread, bit too oaty for me.....

10:56 pm

Aussieme

I like raisin bread too....

10:56 pm

shdybr8

me too, actually, what i have in the box right now is pepperidge farm sandwich white

10:57 pm

herinfernallady

the basicly starve to get to right weight Shady

10:57 pm

shdybr8

i agree herin, but you can't teach an old dog new tricks (or not too many, anyway)

10:57 pm

Aussieme

I have a couple of excercise things I must start to use this year..... an airwalker, and a guthy renker ball....

10:59 pm

shdybr8

i find if i eat what i like and drink only light beer when i drink beer, i'll gain weight. If I do the same and take the pups out each day for a walk, I lose weight.

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

sigh

11:00 pm

Aussieme

I look at a donut sideways, and I gain an inch !!

11:01 pm

Aussieme

I'm not overweight, just undertall !!

11:01 pm

herinfernallady

I walk past the donut place behind the cooking area and it smells gross that and mac donalds

11:01 pm

shdybr8

only problem is that walking my dogs alone is very difficult. They are not well trained, 2 are nearly 80 pounds, my "little" dog is 40 puonds. If someone takes one dog, I can walk the other 2 easily. I've had 2 surgeries after walking all 3!

11:01 pm

Aussieme

oh goodness, puts it into persperctive.....

11:02 pm

shdybr8

sigh for the old dog, herin?

11:02 pm

Aussieme

well ladies, its 5:01am here, must get some shuteye..... night night dear.....

11:02 pm

shdybr8

night, aussie, rest well and sweet dreams

11:02 pm

Aussieme

*dears that should have read.....

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

No just sigh

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

My dear friend just donated 12 inches of her hair to locks of love.

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

Night Aussie

11:04 pm

shdybr8

that was very nice

11:04 pm

Aussieme

night shdy, night herin, sweet dreams when you away to your beds.....

11:04 pm

Aussieme

*poof*

11:05 pm

herinfernallady

Yes she has great hair. I would do it but im not that brave. You only need 9 inchs to make a wig

11:06 pm

shdybr8

hey herin, just checked your profile to see where you live, if that's you in the pics are you sure you're 30? you look about 14!!!!! How do you do that?

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

Muhahaha. Why thank you

11:08 pm

shdybr8

sure, no prob, starting to feel old....my friend's daughter called me "ma'am" tonight, eek!

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

I am indeed 30. I don't go out in the sun. I use a face wash toner and moisteriser every day. If i have to go out sun screen

11:08 pm

shdybr8

well keep it up, it's working!

11:10 pm

shdybr8

i guess if i would quit smoking some of the wrinkles would slow down?

11:11 pm

shdybr8

well, duh, the whole time we were in Mexico last week i sat in direct sunlight (I'm convinced I'm part plant and have chlorophyll)

11:13 pm

herinfernallady

Shady i have fair skin and moles thus i don't go out in the sun

11:14 pm

shdybr8

you're smarter than me, i have fair skin and moles, but i hate cold, love to sit in the sun to get warm like some kind of lizard

11:14 pm

SaddySolar

i need a clue for the ti5 word

11:15 pm

shdybr8

looking for it saddy,.....

11:17 pm

shdybr8

11:17 pm

herinfernallady

I love being near white at times

11:18 pm

SaddySolar

got it thanks shdy... *dives back into grid*

11:19 pm

shdybr8

i don't like it, only because i have rosacea (i.e. red face with bumps) and that usually only happens to very pale people

11:20 pm

jillibus

Aaaah, done!

11:21 pm

herinfernallady

jillibus

Hi Jill -- how were the Victoria celebrations?

11:48 pm

jillibus

nan, quiet but nice -- old friends and family -- just five pof us old folks :)

11:48 pm

cybernan

Quiet here too --- the house has seemed so empty since the kids went home!

11:49 pm

SaddySolar

hey jilli

11:49 pm

SaddySolar

hey cybernan

11:49 pm

SaddySolar

happy new year

11:49 pm

jillibus

Boeuf bourguinon, blancmange with raspberries, preceded by martinis, accompanied by red wine, followed by decaf and NO liqueurs but lots of conversation

11:49 pm

cybernan

Hi Saddy

11:50 pm

jillibus

Saddy -- I asked before but you had gone to the grid -- how did things go yesterday? Obviously you got home safely!

11:50 pm

cheeky

aah just finished

11:50 pm

jillibus

YAY cheeky!

11:51 pm

cybernan

We started with oie de canard and wine, the piece de resistance was 2 pound lobsters, salad and more wine --- just a couple of truffles for dessert. :)

11:51 pm

SaddySolar

that was day before yesterday.. yeah i got home safely.. totally ruined new years eve for us... stayed home the whole time... took a day off from work yesterday and just potteredaround the house

11:51 pm

jillibus

Oh yum, nan! 2 lb lobsters!!!

11:52 pm

jillibus

of course it was day before, saddy -- I was away yesterday. Dates get mixed up at this time of the year.

11:52 pm

cybernan

yum is right -- figured that seeing as how it was just the two of us, we could splurge!

11:53 pm

cybernan

Roasted a chicken today and tomorrow it's back to green veggies and fish!

11:53 pm

jillibus

you're not exactly in lobster country, nan -- where did they come from? Flown in from NS?

11:54 pm

cybernan

Either there or NB

11:54 pm

cybernan

Our local Save-on keeps a tank of them

11:54 pm

herinfernallady

Saddy id rather you safe

11:55 pm

SaddySolar

thats what my inlaws said... we spent yesterday watching home movies of my husband as a baby... my MIL's idea

11:55 pm

jillibus

Our local Thrifty's used to, but not 2 pounders!

11:56 pm

cybernan

Wasn't Thrifty's recently bought out by someone?

11:56 pm

jillibus

Good idea, Saddy!

11:56 pm

jillibus

Yeah, someone from NS, I think

11:56 pm

cybernan

Heavens, you'd think they'd keep on with the lobster, then

11:57 pm

jillibus

No Save-on here -- just thrifty's ad Ganges Village Market, a sort-of indie.

11:58 pm

jillibus

Well, here we can get Dungeness Crab from the dock :)

11:58 pm

cybernan

There are times when I wish we had a Granville Island here!

11:58 pm

cybernan

That's a plus!

11:59 pm

jillibus

I've never been to Granville Island :(

11:59 pm
