12:23 am
pinkhatlil

yes nan
12:24 am
jillibus

yep, nan -- not me tho
12:24 am
melonheadjujube

cybernan, I actually moved my bass into my bedroom - NOT AS WEIRD AS IT SOUNDS - so I can just pick it up & play it. When it was in a corner in the living room I had to move things around to get to it - amazing how a little barrier can keep one from playing. i do play 15 or 20 min a day. My 12 year old cellist nephew thinks i'm great - that's enough to keep me going. i have a hilarious video of him laying my bass on youtube.
12:24 am
VolleymomDee

rh 8 was called
12:25 am
stidmama

melon! that is my problem with the guitar and the piano... the latter makes an all-too-convenient resting place for sundry papers...
12:26 am
melonheadjujube

oh, yeah - piano as hat rach/bookshelf/jigsaw puzzle surface, etc. etc. . .
12:26 am
stidmama

not that I am all that good at either anyway... but perhaps I can think of something... the guitar hanger just gets it off the floor, but doesn't really make it easier to get to.
12:26 am
melonheadjujube

s the rh8 a word i should know?
12:26 am
stidmama

I think it would be polite of egbok to change because Scrabbler has used that icon for ages and it's identifying

I think egbok could have been asked nicely before jumping. They might not have even known it was scrabblers'.
1:17 am

Um Sometimes pictures are actually taken by members cameras like mine ego stealing. As i said i am a crabby bitch today so just ignore the crazy lady
1:17 am

egbok was told several times
1:17 am

You guys are usually so good about making people feel welcome. That was hard to watch.

told it was scrabbler's icon, not told to change
1:18 am

thanks moon, i wish i knew some ukrainians.
1:22 am
jillibus

moon, egbok was not TOLD anything, but the fact that it was scrabbler's icon was mentioned. S/he was given every opportunity to realise it or mention it or change it but chose to ignore it.
1:22 am

i was going to use sprite's icon for "dutch things" day...i'm sure glad i didn't!!
1:24 am
jillibus

Nan, what a lovely legend in your profile!
1:24 am
BabbleRabble

so what? who decides who "own" and icon? where is it written that the same icon may not be used by more than one?
1:24 am
sprite

Fran, why not? You are totally allowed to, lol. What's with the icon stress all of a sudden?
1:24 am
moonwoof

Well, what would you do with the ukranians if you had them, Fran?
1:24 am

just checking, it might have seemed like a dumb question, but i thought it could have been another langauge ;)

1:25 am

I don't know any other language well enough to make a real good translation, and I am that critical b*tch that cannot go for anything less, lol.
1:26 am

hi babrab!
1:26 am

Ahah. If you need another Xmas, fran, we could set an arbitrary Babble Xmas date, and celebrate, then...
1:26 am
sprite

I am with Rabble on this. WIll ask a 3rd time: what's with the icon stress?
1:26 am
pinkhatlil

you always make me smile sprite
1:26 am
herinfernallady

Babble my icon is from my camera therefore as the photos owner it is mine. Also ignorance pisses me off. I always look at others icons to make sure im not treading on peoples toes.
1:26 am
moonwoof

Evening BR. Just check the log, guys.
1:27 am
sprite

let's make every day Xmas, forget the humbug and go for peace
1:27 am
moonwoof

You can NOT possibly tell me, herin, that that was a picture scrabbler took. *I* have found it on the web...
1:27 am
FranMag

from what i gather sprite, a new babbler is using the same icon scrabbler uses. i personally don't think it's a big deal either.
1:27 am
BabbleRabble

and what you considerr ignorance is your opinion
1:28 am
pinkhatlil

please, no one argue over the icons, is it really worth it?
1:28 am
BabbleRabble

well, someone was driven from the room over it
1:28 am
sprite

seems simple to me. Either you own the picture, like lady here, or the icon is for common use. But I understand you have exhausted this discussion already... I will stop, LOL.
1:28 am
moonwoof

No, it's not useful to argue about Any of it. I'm just disappointed.
1:29 am

remember the day mrP came home? All limecats :)
1:29 am
MVA

hi babrab
1:30 am
sprite

which reminds me... after the crash I lost all my icons. Also my little lurker here. Better refind it on the internet! Before I go with a theme for the day and afterwards have to go without my lurker...
1:30 am
moonwoof

really? that would have been Uber confusing for me, but amusing, nonetheless
1:30 am
sprite

very amusing, and mrP loved it, woof. And yes, it was a little confusing, but since the names are next to them, it was ok.

2:50 am
mrpresident

she wanted the rat to have an operation to save her, but I know that the operation and recovery would have been worse! we would have had a very depressed rat, in pain and not living a rat life. I explained that to maddie and she accepted that

3:07 am
moonwoof

It's like those illusions that are really in black and white but fool your brain into seeing colors...
3:07 am
FranMag

di8 is like a pan****** photo (really wide), but start with di
3:07 am

3:14 am
moonwoof

3:15 am
FranMag

a scene, often in miniature, reproduced in three dimensions by placing objects, figures, etc., in front of a painted background.
3:15 am
FranMag

that's the definition, the di8 is the adjective version of that word.
3:16 am

3:35 am
traveller

well.... lickety and helpful clues.... great site
3:35 am
moonwoof

Then you're doing better than I did, when I started, traveller. It took me 2 weeks of banging my head on a dictionary before I figured out that people were even cluing.
3:36 am
traveller

many words i have never heard of.... now have a big list of words to look up some meanings
3:36 am
lynxxx

I don't think Lickety was going when I first started - Fran?
3:36 am
moonwoof

I dont think I finished a grid that whole time and I kept wondering what people meant when they kept saying "fireworks".
3:36 am
moonwoof

I like that part, actually. The dictionary is a great book, even if it lacks charachter development.
3:37 am
FranMag

when i started lickety was around, that was almost two years ago
3:38 am
moonwoof

Well, it was 2 months ago... and I was too thick to realize anyone might make something like Lickety did... I'm so dense sometimes it's eerie.
3:38 am

i actually didn't play a grid until May 2006 even though i started my account in March
3:38 am

Traveller - you know you can click on the ? next to bthe words and get the meanings (most times)
3:38 am

the hard part of this site - is leaving it to do whatever needs to be done lol..... like now i need sleep...

3:41 am

ahhhh then i might need to reconsider
3:41 am

I don't know carlee.
5:33 am

I've been finding them all frustrating recently, but that might be due to my sun starved half/brain
5:35 am

there's lots of poison to take in the grid if things get too hard
5:36 am

lovely... that at least is comforting
5:39 am
carleekat

holy cow..going up to 62 here later today...
5:39 am
Eva

i know-there was a record here overnight of 42!
5:40 am
Eva

it will probably make everything incredibly slippery, but it's nice to have the snow sliding off the roof even if the avalanches make us jump every time
5:41 am
carleekat

it was 52 here yesterday.... most of our snow all gone
5:41 am
carleekat

cripes I just looked it was 52 over night too
5:41 am

funny that it's warmer up there than in Vermont
5:42 am
carleekat

the great lakes....
5:42 am
carleekat

it makes us more like west coast ntil a long chill time occurs to close up the lakes
5:42 am
Eva

those bring a warming environment?
5:43 am
carleekat

actually we NEED a long deep freeze to get the water levels coming back up
5:43 am
Eva

Lake Champlain doesn't do the same thing. Burlington has a wicked cold wind.
5:44 am
Eva

How does a deep freeze raise water levels?
5:44 am
carleekat

water cools slower then air...and is the cold air mass that brings in winter....with the ground bordered by a "warm mass" yes...keep sus warmer...lake champlain is... a teeny tiny lake compared tot he great lakes
5:44 am
carleekat

keeps water from being evaporated .....puts a lid on evaporation
5:45 am
carleekat

once the lake frozen..look out...FREEZING COLD weather
5:46 am
Eva

ah. I never knew that, but it makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's one reason that droughts are so rare here. It has been a relief to have a real winter this year, as opposed to the semi-tropical one we had last time. The ski areas have been celebrating and the entire economy depends on snow. I hope we aren't going into another weird one now and that this is only a temporary January thaw.
5:47 am

i'm all for spring happening now..but that just me be selfish..i HATE the cold

We have been thinking lately about being someplace else for part of the winter. Seems the natural trend for those over 50 around here. Everyone seems to be moving to Ashville, NC(-:

There are a lot of artists who live there. It's become quite well known as an art colony. But I don't think it can compare with the West Palm/Ft. Lauderdale area for performing arts.

Oh, poor hurshy. I do sympathise. I suffered insomnia for three years and had to resort to getting visitors to Spain to buy me over the counter sleeping tabs cos the doc wouldn't give me any.

Is your appt today?
7:32 am
pinkhatlil

Scrabbler, your icon was a hot topic this morning!
7:32 am
Scrabbler

Why, oh, why?
7:33 am
bbnaz

hello everyone
7:33 am
Scrabbler

I changed it once, to match the daily theme, and I was told to bring back the green bunny.

7:34 am

Nono, I have really enjoyed your videos of late!
7:34 am

Hi, nono & bb and anyone else I've missed.
7:34 am
Scrabbler

Hi johnny
7:34 am

ah, feel better!
7:34 am
bbnaz

Jac! Nice to see you.
7:35 am
NonoNanette

ty bb
7:35 am
pinkhatlil

because another player had your icon, and some thought they should have changed it, and others thought you do not own the icon, so anyone can use it. To cut a long story short, the babbler left the chat room! check log between 12:30 and 1:30am
7:35 am
Scrabbler

I watched the Beatrix Potter movie, "Miss Potter", on Saturday and loved it. I have posters of her drawings in Callie's bedroom.
7:35 am
johnnyrocket

hey scrabb
7:36 am
Scrabbler

True, I do not own it at all, and sometimes Babblers do have the same icon. But there is only one of me.
7:36 am
Jacula

Scrabbs - I watched that film just before Christmas. It's really nice. I watched an adaptation of Ballet Shoes last night (I'd recorded it over the holiday) and loved it.
7:37 am
Anniebrook

Scrabbler, the next movie on my netflix list is Amazing Grace...look forward to seeing it
7:38 am
Scrabbler

I still think of it, and William Wilberforce. You must watch the music video in the Special Features section too.
7:38 am
Anniebrook

Will do, scrabbs
7:39 am
Angelsong

we have already had 1179 words in Babble this year.
7:39 am
KatieMcG

Been back to check the chat, it seemed a bit harsh, although if i'd have done it I would have changed it when I realised.
7:40 am
KatieMcG

I had to change my icon away from Fuggy as someone was phobic about rodents, didn't mind as we are one big happy family in chat.
7:40 am
Scrabbler

It would not have bothered me, Kitt.
7:40 am
Scrabbler

Angel, I am glad they were not all in one grid.
7:41 am
Anniebrook

When I first came into Babbleland I had FM's icon. It was brought to my attention and I changed it..It was not a problem at all
7:41 am
Anniebrook

Scrabbler is the green bunny and that's it!!!
7:41 am
KatieMcG

It's funny how some people get upset and things that don't bother others :-)
7:41 am
pinkhatlil

babblers having the same icon doesn't bother me, however, it was a personal pic taken with my camera as someone pointed out, i'd be very annoyed.
7:42 am
Uniquity

Icons are apparently tremendously more important than I had ever thought before...just read back to that. Whew!
7:43 am
Anniebrook

I am going to read the brouhaha...be back soon
7:43 am
pinkhatlil

*if it was* typo!
7:43 am
Jacula

I'll read back later as doing so freezes my browser. I guess it's like turning up at a function (the icon thing) and finding someone wearing the same dress as you.
7:43 am
pinkhatlil

lol jacula, you hit the nail on the head!
7:43 am
Uniquity

Quick question - Lately when I refresh babble I get a "word list couldn't be loaded" error message. Has anyone else had this?
7:44 am
Uniquity

My junior high prom (ugh) 4 people had the same dress as me! We were stylish...
7:45 am
KatieMcG

one of my friend when I was younger had a tatoo done, turned up at the pub and there was a girl with the same one on the same place on her shoulder. Put me off tatoos for life!!
7:46 am
Jacula

Okay, I have 20 words left to find. Got work to do. BBL. Happy Babbling!
7:46 am
pinkhatlil

bye jac!
7:47 am
pinkhatlil

i haven't had that problem uni, with the word list
7:47 am
Uniquity

Neither had I until the other day...maybe it's just a surprise glitch
7:50 am
pinkhatlil

must do lunch bbs
7:50 am
KatieMcG

I don't know if it is just me but i'm really finding it hard today. I can see the list being used very early :-)
7:50 am
EvaNadine

mornin babblers!
7:50 am
Uniquity

I used the list at forty! I feel so weak...but I am not making progress even with list.
7:50 am
Uniquity

Morning Eva!
7:51 am
EvaNadine

how is everyonet oday?
7:51 am
Uniquity

Bad at babble, good in life ;) Yourself?
7:51 am
Scrabbler

I reviewed the chat and I don't think egbokmom left because of the icon discussion.
7:51 am
EvaNadine

sleepy, but good. :)
7:53 am
Scrabbler

I just noticed the J--it was hiding on me all this time.
7:54 am
Anniebrook

I just read the chat about the green bunny...i agree with scrabbler..I think egbok just left not because of the icon. We need a copyright lawyer here. LOL
7:54 am
Uniquity

Or maybe we need to wait and see if the original icon holder would be upset (I read it more carefuly and it reminds me of another mega icon fight of recent weeks)
7:55 am
EvaNadine

rut roh -- what did i miss this morning?
7:55 am
Scrabbler

Most of our snow has melted during this January thaw. I was smart to cross-country ski on Friday. Now we have to wait for more snow.
7:55 am
mari

fireworks !!
7:55 am
KatieMcG

Uni, you make me feel so much better I'm on 39 and going for the list :-) Honestly I didn't know icons were such a sore subject for some people. I always use my own photos so at least I'm not going to upset anyone
7:55 am
Uniquity

Scooby or Astro, Eva? :)
7:55 am
Uniquity

YAY mari!
7:56 am
KatieMcG

Go Mari :-) and you are in the grid if not a word :-)
7:56 am
Scrabbler

Yahooo Mari! And your name is in the grid--I noted it earlier.
7:56 am
EvaNadine

whichever works, uni. ;)
7:56 am

Now you have an afternoon with children to look forward to ;-)

thanks, pink!
8:02 am
KatieMcG

lol scrabbler :-)
8:03 am
Scrabbler

Is the 7 related?
8:03 am
pinkhatlil

ad6 is very similar, change ending
8:03 am
bbnaz

well there is one of the 8s
8:03 am
pinkhatlil

yes scrabbler
8:04 am
Scrabbler

And I am a moron again--I found the ad6 first.
8:04 am
Scrabbler

Those are new words for me.
8:05 am
Scrabbler

I am going down the list and will go in reverse alphabetical order, just for fun. These little things give me such joy in life, haha/
8:06 am
KatieMcG

I'm wedded to my routine, when I try and go from bottom to top I get too confused ;-)
8:06 am
pinkhatlil

i seem to do the grid faster when going backwards, strange!
8:06 am
EvaNadine

a few pictures of my brand new baby niece up on my flickr account (and in my babble profile!)if anyone wants to take a peek.
:)
8:07 am
pinkhatlil

is that baby's mum in pic
8:08 am
Scrabbler

What is her name and when was she born?
8:08 am
KatieMcG

She's lovely eva :-)
8:09 am
EvaNadine

thats me in the picture...she was born friday morning, as of saturday, still to be named...dunno if theyve chosen a name yet, but they will have to soon, as theyre supposed to be going home today!
8:10 am
Scrabbler

I have seen babies leave the newborn nursery with no name...some parents want more time to ponder names. Until the birth certificate has a name, they are "baby boy" or "baby girl"
8:11 am
EvaNadine

from what i understand, i think here, they have to have a name for the birth cert + that has to be filled out before they leave...
8:12 am
Scrabbler

She has a very cute little face!
8:12 am
EvaNadine

and lots of dark hair!
8:13 am

Oh, Betsy, make me get dizzy, please. Hi Aloy

8:23 am
pinkhatlil

no
8:23 am
Scrabbler

I got it, Jean. TY. He brought it up at a mtg recently and said, "I am still waiting for an apology" and I just stared at him.
8:23 am
Aloyisius

LOL... got your joke, carlee..
8:23 am
carleekat

hi aloy
8:24 am
pinkhatlil

im guessing its d**k maybe EJ?
8:24 am
Scrabbler

He hasn't bothered to wonder or ask, "Why would you think I am a ty6?"
8:24 am
EspritdJean

8:25 am

8:25 am
Aloyisius

i have one that rhymes with the tweetie animal
8:26 am
Aloyisius

yi4 that is
8:26 am
Scrabbler

TY, Aloy--now i do recall seeing that here before. I need to store it into my Babble harddrive
8:26 am
bbnaz

YI4 sounds like where the grass grows only with the I vowel instead
8:26 am
Scrabbler

He grates on everyone in his path, Lil.
8:27 am
Aloyisius

yw, Scrabbler. there are a bunch of babblets in this grid
8:27 am
bbnaz

and the other sounds like the scots word for man
8:27 am
Scrabbler

Ty for yi4
8:27 am
Scrabbler

Oh, I got it on my first try, Betsy--TY
8:27 am

8:28 am

8:44 am

8:44 am

di8 is all about the box you made in grade school that has a little scene in it

My cat keeps using the bathroom window as a cat flap, which would be fine if he'd close it after him. *sighs* I don't really want the window wide open in this weather.

Cats don't seem to respond to training, do they? I saw an article in the paper the other day about a Newfoundland which did just about everything bar paint the lady's toenails.
9:09 am
Jacula

Cats only respond to what it suits them to respond to.
9:10 am
Jacula

Did you read the article about the Christmas disaster involving a whippet in today's Daily Mail, Haz? V. funny.
9:10 am
Haz1558

So it seems.
9:11 am
Haz1558

Yes, I did. Poor man. He must have a great sense of humour if he's prepared to laugh about it.

I only have an at7 and no 5 behind it.

If you got yourself over here, you could clean my dog. Look at Jacula's profile to see what I mean.

I am sorry.....I am talking about the an 7 and the five behind it...sorry
9:20 am

At7 = against + what we breath

In the interests of accuracy, Spangle isn't THAT dirty.

9:25 am

I did It was lovely Peri.
9:25 am

I didn't see the beginning of the argument. Basically a new babbler had an icon normally used by Scrabbler. She had been told about it, but didn't change. Another member made quite a fuss about it.

when I click on my icon I just get another small picture

hmm, that makes me feel better about my argument with mikey.
9:29 am
flosey

was that old argument going on again this morning? it dragged on a bit last night
9:29 am

That's one of the things I've adored about being here. Everyone that I've seen here has always been so supportive from what I've seen. And the newbie felt so bad she left the chat and the grid.
9:30 am
Haz1558

moon - I'll probably get shot down in flames (again) but it's not the first time that player has upset others.
9:30 am

Afternoon,
My two penneth worth - it wasn't that big of a deal and the new person will either return or not. It doesn't help to keep mentioning it as it perpetuates the um event.

You know, it is only a game and chat. It is not like folks are writing references here. If my nose got in a knot everytime someone said something contrary to me, well what a waste of babble time (and future help of clues!)

ok I am off now... happy babbling everyone
9:38 am

The really screwed up part, to me... Is that I usually only get like this about really dear friends I've had for years. I could care LESS what anyone says about me... But the moment it feels like someone else. I get all GGRRR faced.
9:39 am

I like rose... It's making your icon all redish...

I'm back again for final 6 words. I just gave P that whippet article to read and then stabbed the jacket potatoes ready to put in the oven. *grins evilly* He winced.
9:41 am
Haz1558

He winced at the article?
9:41 am
FMitch

Hello Jacs, love your pic.
9:41 am
Haz1558

Or he winced at the thought of the subject of the article and then the potato stabbing?
9:41 am
Jacula

Haz - I timed it so I did the stabbing as he reached the pertinent part of the article.
9:41 am
Jacula

Hi FM.
9:41 am
Haz1558

And now he's sitting with legs crossed.
9:42 am

Yup, Haz, and a protective hand there.

Haz1558

Belt and braces.
9:42 am

So long as he isn't wearing your undies - but that is a whole nother story
9:42 am

Amusingly Haz, when it's all little like that it looks like my partners dog.

9:48 am

9:48 am

not common flosey - the ending "al"
9:48 am

Well, now *I* have to go back and read the log.. ty Jac
9:48 am

at6 - not being the usual representation of something (normally with Mr Gore at the end)

I quite like it as a grid, enough normal words to make you feel half human, enough strange ones to make the hunt interesting.

Well, back from first class of the year nad had the weirdest experience yet. Our December exams (a three hour killer which destroyed many trees as well as my wrist) were stolen, unmarked from his car two hours after the exam. We have no marks...and have to take a class vote to double the weight of the final, or use our marks from our three papers. This is...bizarre
10:00 am
FMitch

The fact you have to think is probably statement enough!

Hello monty.
10:01 am

Unfortunately, that exam was going to bring my marks up, as well! This is a tough class, and I could have used the boost.

I have a theory about solitaire, Flosey. I have a deck of cards in my purse so that if I ever get lost I can start playing solitaire... Cause I KNow that when I get stuck someone will come by to point out a move, and I can ask em for directions.

2:32 pm
bichon

I know there are items you can use, but I'm just not into cosmetics, for myself or pet. I do take him to the groomer, but that's to keep his coat from getting all matted.

5:42 pm

they didnt do a bad job... we did the poor dog an injury by not watching him the first night... when he got past the cone that was too small and licked himself into complications

Don't blame your self Natts dogs do these things
5:44 pm
bichon

there's lotsw of similarities. I think it's supposed to be like Spanish and Portuguese
5:45 pm
dcseain

that's my understanding too, bichon. i'm intimidated by the writing system, but i figure i learned to write chinese, how hard can that alphabet be.
5:45 pm
LadyNatts

They do... I've never had a more traumatic neuter, though... I've had 3 dogs and 5 cats go through it.
5:46 pm
herinfernallady

Well he does have a big boof head
5:46 pm
LadyNatts

lol... yep!
5:46 pm
bichon

I agree DC. Hebrew isn't difficult to read if they have the system of voweols [nikudot] in ther. Otherwise it's a mystery to me.

5:47 pm
LadyNatts

there are two cy7/40's marc
5:47 pm
dcseain

hy, marc, extend the colour, then change the vowel toward the end.
5:48 pm
herinfernallady

yawn
5:48 pm
bichon

Actually, as a language, Hebrew is easy. It only has the continuous tense and all the words come from 3-letter roots. It's the reading that I found hard.
5:48 pm
LadyNatts

an7 = an4/4 + what we breathe
5:48 pm
dcseain

that makes sense
5:49 pm
Marc Freeman

dc I got one cy7 but the other one is eluding me?

7:08 pm

Not me, that's for sure, Hursh.
7:09 pm
Krista

Hi Doxy - you finished?
7:09 pm
hurshy

i'm so thrilled they brought back the gladiators, such a fun show
7:09 pm
Jacula

I'm here. I was reading back on yesterday's log and am now trying to find Sprite's heart icon for her.
7:09 pm
Krista

My ex-husband was hurrying home to see it when he brought our daughter home.
7:09 pm
hurshy

i mean i think it's so fabulous that they took the whole gladiatorial competitive idea and made it non-lethal and padded and fun :)
7:09 pm
Jacula

Hursh - I used to like Gladiators. Eunice Cathcart was just the very best competitor.
7:10 pm
Krista

Is something wrong with Sprite? Hope not.
7:10 pm
Jacula

That as the UK version though... I think.
7:10 pm
Jacula

Krista - No. When her pc crashed she lost her icons, including her trademark heart one.
7:10 pm
Krista

rotaty is not a word, in case you wondered
7:11 pm
Krista

Aw, glad that's all it is, Jac. Nice of you to look for it.
7:11 pm
Jacula

LOL, krista. Can't say I tried that one though I did try adding a 'y' to other words.
7:11 pm
herinfernallady

That and i have a goldfish brain
7:12 pm
hurshy

what's british trash talk? oh, i say, i am planning to boil your pudding
7:12 pm
herinfernallady

Is that the heart with the barb wire that sprite had?
7:12 pm
Jacula

BTW, I finished hours ago if anyone needs clues. If I'm slow in replying it's 'cos I'm off looking for that icon.
7:12 pm

Aw, so that is your special movie.
7:16 pm

7:17 pm
Krista

7:17 pm
Jars

cr6 or cr8 anyone?
7:17 pm
Jacula

last me5 = same 4 first letters as one before it then add personal pronoun vowel for end.
7:17 pm
Jacula

cr6 and 8 have to do with the skull.
7:18 pm
lil*monkey

just got the last me5, first 3 letters of other me words, plus 3rd vowel twice

7:21 pm
lil*monkey

i am stuck on the first two mi words... anyone have those ???
7:21 pm
Krista

I guess that's the most important thing, Bubba. Well enough to crawl to the keyboard = good day. Are you finished?
7:21 pm
herinfernallady

Jac tell her 3min or till the water boils dry and the egg explodes if you like he he he
7:21 pm

Get to work, Bubba. Monkey..I only have the last two mi's so far, sorry again.

Or tell her to look it up on the net :D

bubba218

7:23 pm
Jacula

Herin - don't be horrible!;-) I told her 6 mins and then put the cooked in in cold water to avoid getting a grey rim around the yolk.
7:23 pm
herinfernallady

Hi Bubba and Nrkii
7:24 pm
Krista

AH ty
7:24 pm
bubba218

Hi Herin

help with DI 8 please?

lil*monkey

hey THANKS nrkii
7:24 pm
Krista

I hate the gray stuff..I always overcook..I'll use that tip, Jacula!
7:25 pm
Krista

Nice to see your Nellie Olsen, nrkii. :)
7:25 pm
nrkii

hi herinfernallady
7:25 pm
lil*monkey

di8 is di + 4th vowel + a panor**** view
7:25 pm
Jacula

Krista - you need to hange the cold water 3 times, the first 2 times rapidly and then leave it in the 3rd lot until cold.
7:25 pm
Jacula

*change
7:25 pm
nrkii

YAY - that's fireworks -- thanks monkey!!!

Well done, nrk.
7:27 pm
herinfernallady

Jac my mum exploded an egg once
7:27 pm
nrkii

tough grid today
7:27 pm
Krista

ok! hope that makes them easier to peel, too. I'm hit or miss with the eggs. I can cook a mean omelette, though.
7:28 pm
nrkii

Krista, I always roll them before I peel them -- makes it very easy, if they're cooked right
7:28 pm
Krista

Congrats, nrkii. Good for anyne who finishes this one!
7:29 pm
pam

congrats, nrkii
7:29 pm
Jacula

Krista - the peeling, easy or not, is more about the eggs you buy and how thick the shells are. Factory eggs have thin shells and don't usually peel well. Proper free-range eggs are easier to peel and are the kinder option anyway.
7:29 pm
pam

hi, jac
7:29 pm
hurshy

i have another poll
7:29 pm
Krista

It's that cooked right part that gets me. :) Rolling - good tip.
7:29 pm
Jacula

Krista - do you add water of milk to your eggs for omelettes?
7:29 pm
Jacula

Hi, pam.
7:29 pm
Jacula

A poll, hursh? Go ahead.
7:29 pm
hurshy

would you rather be you than anybody else?
7:30 pm
Jacula

Krista - that was water or milk, not of milk. LOL
7:30 pm
nrkii

ooh, Jacula, I add milk for sure!
7:30 pm
Krista

Just a tiny bit of water, Jac. I used to use milk, but I like the end result of the water better. Fluffier.
7:30 pm
nrkii

Hurshy, hands down YES
7:30 pm
nrkii

interesting... must try water one of these days
7:30 pm
Jacula

Hursh - I'm used to being me, I know me pretty well, so, on balance, I think I'd be me.
7:31 pm
Krista

I never heard of that until my cousin's wife told me - it works.
7:31 pm
Jacula

Krista - I agree - one tiny splash of water per egg.
7:31 pm
pam

water or milk to boil eggs in ???
7:31 pm
nrkii

meanwhile, I made meatloaf yesterday that called for cream or sweet milk in the recipe -- it was odd, but turned out fabulous
7:31 pm
Krista

Eeesh - having never been anyone else, I guess I'd stick with me. Not that I'm so great, but I'd rather deal with the familiar.
7:31 pm
nrkii

no pam, for omelettes (but I read it that way at first too!)
7:31 pm
Jacula

The same applies to milk (one tiny splash per egg) when making scrambled eggs. Too much liquid makes sloppy scrambed, Yuck!
7:32 pm
pam

Oh, omelettes... I have been told water works better... cold water. But, I have never read the ON food and cooking or science in the kichen books
7:32 pm
pam

hi, jac
7:32 pm
hurshy

i like my scrambled eggs slightly sloppy and wet
7:32 pm
pam

oh, said that already...
7:33 pm
Krista

yes, nrkii, that's an odd one! (the meatloaf)
7:33 pm
nrkii

okay, have to run... 2 big packages were waiting on my doorstep when I got home tonight, and I haven't opened them yet
7:33 pm
nrkii

Night all!
7:33 pm
pam

I like my scrambled made with cream cheese...
7:33 pm
Krista

Ooh! Packages! Hope they're good ones.
7:33 pm
Jacula

Do you , hursh? I like mine drier and in separate lumps. I also add salt, freshly ground black pepper and parsley to the mix.
7:33 pm
pam

Have fun and good night, nrkii
7:33 pm
nrkii

yes, Krista, 2008 Christmas presents already :)
7:34 pm
nrkii

night!
7:34 pm
hurshy

i do not like to add any spices or herbs, i like to either eat them with ham and homefries, or on buttered toast
7:34 pm
Jacula

nrkii - I wouldn't have waited before opening them! Have fun!
7:34 pm
Krista

Sometimes I eat catsup on mine, or salsa.
7:34 pm
herinfernallady

Um there is Easter eggs on our shelves here
7:34 pm
Krista

I bet that was her reward for finishing the grid.
7:35 pm

I add stuff, hursh...
7:35 pm
Krista

mmm home fries
7:35 pm
hurshy

if i were not already full, i would have to go make some scrambled eggs... lol
7:35 pm
Jacula

hursh - have you noticed that scrambled eggs on toast leap off in a last desperate bid for freedom just before they reach the mouth?
7:36 pm
Krista

How do you add, Pam?
7:36 pm
Krista

I meant WHAT
7:36 pm
pam

lolol, hursh and jac
7:36 pm
herinfernallady

7:36 pm

not so much if you have another piece of toast on top holding them down
7:36 pm
Jacula

I've caught many of the little blighters in my bra cleavage.;-)
7:36 pm
pam

I add salt, pepper, and onion...
7:37 pm
herinfernallady

7:37 pm
Jacula

hursh - the crush and subdue tactic? I must try that. LOL
7:37 pm
pam

I scramble the cream cheese into the egg, along with the herbs. i usually fry the onions first... If I am making Lox, eggs, and onions, I don't use the cream cheese
7:37 pm

7:38 pm
pam

thanks, krista
7:38 pm
Krista

That's a cooincidence, JBV! My grandfather used to make catsup that was soooo good on scrambled eggs. It was nothing like store-bought. Some day I'll try to make it, but it's very labor-intensive.
7:39 pm
phaeton

a clue for the ta6/18?
7:39 pm
Jacula

hursh - I seem to have lost you off my MSN. Not suggesting a chat now but I know we had one a few nights ago during which I rudely left you hanging. Truly sorry about that!
7:39 pm
JBV

thanks, jac - there's an a 5/10 that I have not been able to figure out - can you help?
7:39 pm
Krista

I've never had lox, though..don't think I'd like them.

herinfernallady

Krista making sauce really isn't that hard it is the canning thats a pain in the arse
7:45 pm

'Sting' is really a Geordie named Gordon Sumner who was once a teacher and gained his stage name from teasing after he wore yellow and black striped jersey for a gig he once did with a jazz band he was in back in the mists of time.

7:55 pm

does that mean that physical prowess is more admired in society, or does it mean that smart non-athletic people are more secure than dumb athletic people, so they can handle watching people do things they can't remotely do?

what word can possible start with ih? am I going to be embarrassed when I find out?
7:58 pm
Jacula

ih is another babblet. ih + male sheep.
7:58 pm

I think it's because watching displays of physical prowess is more appealing to athletic and nonathletic alike because we weaklings can still aspire to physical greatness...but who likes being reminded that they're not so bright?
7:59 pm

The definition of the ih word is this: the dress worn by male Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca, consisting of two white cotton cloths, one worn round the waist, the other over the left shoulder.

I think my point was that, yes, brains are probably more admired in society. But then again, you wouldn't know it if you judged by paychecks (a neurosurgeon vs. an NBA star, for example)
8:03 pm

feather - because all the hospitals slammed the door in her face and told her to lose weight before she could have the gastric banding op. They put her in touch with their dieticians. Thing is, if she could have followed a diet, she would have done.

Bichon there is nothing dumb about having a child at home with a midwife in water. Babies can breath in water in the first breath. Also our coxic bone (the one at the end of the spine is flexible and its meant to go back when in birth. Having babies on ones back isn't very helpful to the body

i tried to labor in water. had heard that it was much easier, and was very for it. however, for some reason, i couldn't relax as much as i thought i would! and i had even switched rooms so i'd have a tub. ah well. it probably works great for everyone else. i did my own thing, and was fine.

My midwife tried to give me a water birt experience when I had my daughter at home. I didn't want to stay in the bath where the water rapidly went cold. I staggered off to the bedroom to give birth kneeling down (where the penultimate contraction had floored me). However, the midwife, the ends of her hair all wet where she'd tried to attend to me in the bath where she wanted me really, said, 'It's killing my knees down here on the floor and I can't really see. Do you think you could get up on the bed?' One major last ditch effort on my part got me up there and daughter really did shoot out.

I agree, hospitals are truly dangerous places---full of germs, and people that make mistakes.

No she wasn't really selfish, Krista. I ended up on my back (we won't discuss where the rest of my limbs were placed) but daughter did shoot out rather than slide out.

krista, you are still a woman, still a mother, and still were strong to get through the birth. any woman who goes through 9 months of pregnancy and then birth is strong in my books. no matter how they do it. HOW you birth is all personal choice.

8:18 pm
hurshy

my sister is so disturbed by medical things that she had a seizure when she had to have a cast for a fracture, and another one when the dentist gave her novicaine (not allergic, just phobic). asking her to have an epidural would be like asking me to hold a boa constrictor while giving birth - last thing i'd want at such a time!!!
8:18 pm
Scrabbler

Women, as all people, have various pain thresholds and tolerances, and differently shaped pelvises, and different sized babies, etc---some women can go without pain meds and others cannot and should not.
8:18 pm

8:19 pm
Jacula

How you go through birth IS a personal choice and, for me, I felt that if I went through no pain I may not bond properly with my child. (I thought this after seeing a friend go through a knock-out caesarian and come out of it not knowing who she was,let alone that she'd had a child. It took her 5 years to bond with her first son!)

So, I had both of my children with no pain relief, though I did have to fight staff in enforced hospital birth re 1st child (my son). He was breech and refused to turn. I refused a Caesarian, delivered him naturally, he came into the world bum first and has been awkward ever since! LOL

Thanks, Feather. That's what we all need to hear, really. But I have to admit, I feel really left out in many a conversation like this one. Eric keeps asking me how he "came out"..and why it wasn'tlike he had heard it happens..now where this 6 year old "heard" about it is another question!
8:22 pm
Jen

although, on the nursing issue... I have Crohn's Disease and much of the medical research shows that breastfeeding can lessen one's chances of that, especially if there is a family history... I was pure formula fed.... believe me, I nursed my son in hopes he doesn't get this!
8:22 pm
LoriP

Feather, i had a room mate in the hospital, reduced to tears, because she ahd to send her hub for formula. I found that very alarming. The pressure on her by staff, was unreal. I told her to stand her ground if that's what she wanted.

hmm, the banker does not offer very good deals these days.
8:27 pm
featherbee

correct lori. as i said, it's not poison. however, it also isn't as good as breastmilk for many reasons. it will never harm any baby to be on formula, but on the other hand, it can give them many medical advantages to be breastfed!
8:27 pm
featherbee

gotta go check out those noises....
8:27 pm
Jars

I'd take $166K
8:27 pm
LoriP

It gets better Jars, except for the addiction part.... :-)
8:28 pm
hurshy

i would too, because it's enough. but statistically, the banker should offer 250,000, that is the fair market value.
8:28 pm

The banker's an arse.

Hi, Eva. Breastmil is a must, if possible, for the first 3 days when the colostrum is coming through. This is the liquid that gives the baby the mother's immunities. After that, well...
