Hello
3:17 am

hi lady! Did you see jilli today?
3:17 am
herinfernallady

Maybe
3:17 am
sprite

jilli was worried yesterday that you had taken offence against the joke she had posted. That is why I asked.
3:18 am
herinfernallady

Oh no none offense taken. i was looking at places to live or being asleep
3:19 am
sprite

I thought so, but you know jilli, she is a kind soul and was afraid she had hurt your feelings in some way. How is the hunting going? No success yet?
3:20 am
herinfernallady

I was not offended. No luck with hunting. Waiting for a place to call back
3:21 am
sprite

I am so praying for you, lady. You deserve a good place to live and prosper. How about the moronic housemate and the job offer from his side?
3:22 am
herinfernallady

Thanks. Housemate job offer not spoken since. I cant wait to move
3:23 am

you deserve no less, lady. Never doubt it.
3:24 am
herinfernallady

I am so tired of looking. I hope to go to bed soon
3:25 am

I bet. And you should, you need some sleep to keep up with the stress of househunting.
3:25 am
herinfernallady

I think babble keeps me sane
3:25 am

3:26 am

4:52 am

:)
4:54 am
Farruska

one thing I never understood (ok and didn't look) is what the numbers in each letter in the board represent
4:54 am
Farruska

like the M has a tiny 2, the X a 6
4:55 am
sprite

the points for each letter, Farruska. An X is worth 6 points, the M is worth 2 points. When you add the points, you get the points to5l of the word (for 4 letter words). For longer words, the to5 goes times 2, times 3 etc.
4:56 am
Farruska

sprite oh, logic ! thanks :-)
4:56 am
sprite

and sorry for the letter behind the to5 that I didn't erase :(
5:00 am
Farruska

sprite hm so if a xpto4 is worth 5 points and xpto12 is worth 12 points and derives from xpto4 , the missing letter should be worth 12-5 = 7 ?
5:01 am
sprite

don't think there are any 7 points'letters, lol, but yes, that would be correct.
5:01 am
Farruska

sprite excately my problem :D no 7 points letters
5:02 am
Farruska

or I'm reading the clues wrong
5:02 am
Farruska

doesn't da5,12 derive from da4,5 ?
5:03 am
Farruska

(sorry so many questions, just need to get the hand of riding this bicycle again)
5:03 am
sprite

but the da5 goes times 2, because it is a 5 letter word
5:03 am
Jandy

Must go, guys. Will try and finish in the morning. Have a good day/night/out of body experience/whatever!
5:04 am
sprite

so you need to take 6 points, (12 / 2), for the actual points amount.

Can I help with clues before I go?
5:10 am
herinfernallady

I am right Sprite
5:10 am
Farruska

sprite I tough I got it but didn't :( the math thing that is
5:10 am
redturtlehead

just getting started sprite 46 words, cant use clues yet...
5:12 am
sprite

Farruska:
LAPS would be 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5 points.
LAPSE would be 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6 points, but because it is a 5-letter word, it is 6 x 2 = 12 points.
5:13 am
herinfernallady

night
5:14 am
sprite

so if you would be looking for LAPSE, knowing it was built on LAPS, you would have to think like this:
la5/12 means it is 12 points for a 5 letter word, so the actual points would be 12 divided by 2 = 6 points. The LA4/5 is worth 5 points, so I am missing a 1 point letter.
5:14 am
redturtlehead

5:14 am

sleep well, lady, I hope you dream well and rest even better
5:15 am

@sprite, except I've tried every 1 point combination (i think) :(

6:32 am

I just had papaya and oatmeal fro breakfast.
6:32 am
lilliann

6:32 am
redturtlehead

What I really want now is mashed potatos.
6:32 am
lil*monkey

OK i will do that, cheeky... the key is to start with a nice mixture of ground meat (beef, pork, )
6:32 am
lil*monkey

red, a friend of mine who is vegan swears by mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes
6:33 am
redturtlehead

you canuse turkey too...
6:33 am
lilliann

i'm not a big potato eater, but i do like butternut squash
6:33 am
redturtlehead

Potatos are not vegan?
6:33 am
redturtlehead

I like cauliflower.
6:33 am
lil*monkey

yes but she considers them "empty" calories, i guess because they are starch
6:33 am
redturtlehead

My secret is to add spinach to the taters, and today, asparagus.
6:33 am
lilliann

i always mash my cauliflower and i put some mayo and some dijon mustard in and its lovely
6:34 am
redturtlehead

Well yes. but I liek carbohydrates.

8:34 am
Uniquity

In a strange way, I like this grid...up to 94 without list so far and going *strong*
8:35 am
tygerbryght

I found it an easy grid. but how any one person finds any given grid varies wildly
8:35 am
Aloyisius

am enjoying it too, Uni..
8:35 am
tygerbryght

I got all but 7 before I had to go to word lists
8:35 am
Uniquity

Yesterdays grid had me quite defeated...this feels better
8:36 am

8:37 am
tygerbryght

with 4 7s, 2 8s, 1 10
8:37 am
tygerbryght

yw
8:37 am
tygerbryght

the 10 is really quite easy
8:38 am
tygerbryght

do you use Lickety's page, godthaab?
8:38 am
godthaab

Only when I run out of steam.
8:38 am
tygerbryght

or maybe I should ask if you even know about it? :)
8:39 am
Aloyisius

reluctantly, must go do some mundane things.. nice to be able to wake my brain cells up with Babble and chat with y'all... have a great day, Happy Babbling and will see you next time! (-:
8:39 am

8:40 am
tygerbryght

I go straight to Lickety when I start the grid :)
8:41 am
godthaab

I usually jump in and type like a madman.
8:41 am
tygerbryght

If there weren't so many non-words in grids, I might feel differently. Not to mention the real words that aren't on the Enable list
8:42 am
tygerbryght

but someone ... I've forgotten who now, encouraged me to start a thread on Angelsong's message board about real words in grids, but not on the Enable list. I mostly remember to put them up
8:44 am
Uniquity

That is a good idea Tyger...I often commiserate a word not being accepted. Personal favorite: hoser!
8:44 am
tygerbryght

please feel free to add words to it, if you find one I didn't
8:44 am
tygerbryght

and thx
8:44 am
Scrabbler

I am finally back--I lost my internet connection!
8:45 am
tygerbryght

WB, scrabs
8:45 am
godthaab

The dictionary that this game uses drives me up the wall. I come across some many words that are common, but the dictionary is not only inconsistent, but lacking in detail. I see a word in the grid now that is not accepted.
8:45 am
tygerbryght

you're not on dialup, surely, scrabs?
8:45 am
pabtrek

hi Scrabbler
8:45 am
LoriP

G'd morning Babblers! Slipping the Ritalin in to Uni's hashbrowns breakfast this morn, certainly settled her down.
8:45 am
tygerbryght

which one, godth?
8:45 am
tygerbryght

hey, lori
8:46 am

hi Lori
8:46 am
Uniquity

That was a low blow...But good morning to you to, *mother*.
8:46 am
Uniquity

**to you too
8:47 am
Scrabbler

Nope--my cable modem misbehaved. I shut down everything, reconnected cords/cables, powered back up, and finally returned. I was in panic mo4! I hate being shut out of the web!
8:47 am
LoriP

G'd morning tyger, pab, uni.
8:48 am
tygerbryght

oh, me too! I freak when the DSL goes down
8:48 am
LoriP

Scrabbler, that is horrifying, isn't it.
8:48 am
Uniquity

Sounds like a power cycle to me, Scrabs! The internet likes to tease us by going away sometimes..
8:48 am
godthaab

Deux. Other French words seem to accepted at times, though.
8:48 am
tygerbryght

most of the time, my DSL is more reliable than the voice phone service!
8:49 am
Scrabbler

I nearly *GASP* started crying!
8:49 am
tygerbryght

deux is one of the 2 I saw, and put up on the message board
8:49 am
Uniquity

I am over halfway without the list so far...wahoo!
8:49 am
godthaab

Where is your message board?
8:49 am
tygerbryght

it's weird. random Spanish & French words are accepted, but it seems *truly* random which ones are in, and which ones aren't
8:50 am
tygerbryght

go, uni!
8:50 am
Scrabbler

Go Uniquity GO!!
8:50 am
LoriP

***The only place she's going, is insane...*** :-)
8:50 am
godthaab

Some Greek words are accepted: others not. I think it accepts "etas", but not "nike"
8:50 am
Uniquity

I have never understood the rule on what foreign words are allowed...lots of numbers are, but many others aren't
8:50 am
tygerbryght

not mine; Angelsong's. - the link's at the bottom of this page - but my thread is on the "How to" page
8:51 am
Scrabbler

Is it inherited, Lori?
8:51 am
tygerbryght

LOL, scrabs
8:51 am
Scrabbler

*Sorry, I had to say that in defense of Uniquity.**
8:51 am
LoriP

Prob'ally Scrabbler. ***shuffles feet, and changes the subject***
8:52 am
Scrabbler

Foot-shuffling is a common side effect of psychotropic meds, Lori. Did your psychiatrist tell you about that?
8:52 am
Uniquity

I am really being unfairly attacked here, I think...Someone is just bitter because she is not the pretty one....
8:52 am

8:53 am

Due to time-release genes, my younger sisters point out that I am slowly turning into my mother.
8:53 am
Scrabbler

LOL, Lori. Life is full of "issues".

8:55 am
godthaab

I checked Angelsong, but I don't seem to be able to fine "How to.."
8:55 am
Scrabbler

I look like my dad, even in the hirsutism department, but my behaviors are becoming like my mom's, so I fear what I might be like in my 70's.

9:22 am

pi6/21 plural of pi5/12 - think sculpture of Mary with dead Christ (and others)
9:22 am

9:24 am
lori ann

and hillary
9:24 am
tygerbryght

yw, lori
9:24 am
tygerbryght

it's usually helpful to see variants on the same clue. we don't all think alike :)
9:25 am
lori ann

This is very true tyger...
9:25 am
tygerbryght

WRT the pi6, some people think of the artist; others think of the statue
9:26 am
lori ann

I know it usually helps me to see different clues. I always appreciate any help I can get!!! LOL
9:26 am
tygerbryght

and we're all trying to give the clues as quickly as we can, so we don't put everything in :)
9:27 am
hillary

sometimes i think i must be thick because the clues are so cryptic...
9:27 am
tygerbryght

fortunately, I don't usually need help beyond the word lists, but sometimes I need multiple clues, and I feel so thick when that happens
9:27 am
lori ann

I am not good at giving clues yet. I'm afraid I'll goof up and give to much info. or not enough
9:28 am
tygerbryght

hill - we usually do try to keep the clues from being too overt, if we can (of course you know that) :) and only give the spell out ones when someone really needs them
9:28 am
lori ann

You are very lucky tyger. Hopefully I will get there someday.
9:28 am
tygerbryght

lori, nobody's perfect at clues, although some people are really good at it - jacula is one
9:28 am
hillary

yes i realise that but some references are pretty oblique... or culturally specific... or refer to some 'insider' babble code
9:29 am
hillary

but some are soooo clever and straightforward... it's a special skill
9:29 am
tygerbryght

I often don't get the "insider" clues myself
9:29 am
tygerbryght

I try to think when a clue will be U.S. culture-specific, as I know we have people from all over
9:30 am
lori ann

I will stick to receiving the clues for awhile...Maybe someday I can give back some. thank you all!!
9:30 am
hillary

i like the challenge of clueing... but sometimes i think it's too hard to even begin to bother.
9:30 am
tygerbryght

sometimes it is really hard, but nobody asks for help unless they need it (except newbies sometimes)
9:31 am
tygerbryght

don't push yourself, lori. there is usually somebody :)
9:32 am
lori ann

I always wait till I am driving myself crazy to ask for help. I like to challenge myself with getting the words on my own.
9:32 am
tygerbryght

but I'm about to bail out. I didn't get much rest last nite, so I'm going back to bed in just a few. Last call! :)
9:32 am

inge, I know that Auschwitz is preserved, I haven't really investigated other camps and whether they can be visited. It just happens that we'll be staying in Krakow, so it is easy to get to Auschwitz.

I have been to the Anne Frank's House. I have also been to the 'death' railway in Thailand, and visited one of the enormous cemetery's at Kanchanaburee. There is a mock-up of one of the prison camps - I was overcome with disgust when I saw a coach load of Japanese people visiting it

10:30 am

It's better to have travelled and got the memories than to sit on your money and regret later not having taken the opportunity.
10:30 am
KatieMcG

I agree rolin. many years ago I went on a trip tending war graves. The German Teenagers on the trip were probably more respectful than the rest if anything
10:30 am
rolin

absolutely haz...thats how i justify squirreling away my holiday money every month
10:30 am

It was just the way they were going around, laughing and chatting, I wanted to see remorse

this has become harder since crumble came for a cuddle & settled down. i hate only using one hand
10:58 am

going well, except I was taking prednisone for ten days and that tends to put on weight -- sort of counterproductive
10:59 am
72 Temple Owl

i'll say! feeling better?
10:59 am
Dorens

true haz.... it is hard (no white bread, white rice, white potatoes, etc).....unfortunately, altho the prednisone gave me great energy and sense of well-being, it didn't do what it was supposed to do
11:00 am

and "elastic"
11:00 am

11:01 am

Is prednisolone a form of cortisone?
11:01 am
circe

ahh dorens...funny these diets...drs put me on a low residue = only white breads, white rice (max of 10 grams of fiber a day) no fresh fruits or veggies. Sigh. I eat the diet of your typical 7 year old. And I can sure relate to the prednisone probs too. My sympathies.
11:01 am
Dorens

yup... i've had an asthmatic/bronchitis thing that i get from time to time... and after 6 weeks of it, they thought the steroids might help. didn't though
11:02 am
Haz1558

That's a pity.
11:02 am
72 Temple Owl

it is a bad season here. many are getting steroids for ear infections, bronchitis et all currently.
11:02 am

Anyway, time to go and do something el4/4. Have a good day all!
11:03 am

well scrabs, my daughter suffers from an extremely rare form of hepatitis - her own kidneys fabricate antibodies that attempt to destroy her liver - when she was diagnosed, she was the only one in Canada with that disease...
11:38 am
Atalante

why do antibiotics in large doses cause you to sit on the loo for large portions of the day? what is it that they are doing to cause that?
11:39 am
montreal13

Ata, antibiotics destroy all bacterias, the good with the bad...
11:40 am
Atalante

but that should mean they also destroy bad tummy bacteria
11:40 am
montreal13

yes but our intestines are rich with good bacterias doing their work - antibiotics wipes them out and u know the results...

I'm with you, red - after I moved out of my parents' house at 21 - I never spent a night there- even when I had a severe back problem, I managed on my own

special circumstances though. her hubby is in prison right now. soon to be released. he is a good worker, so can't wait for him to get out. long story.

1:18 pm
JBV

wow, ata - 15 - that sounds like you have a story, too
1:18 pm

the quiet is deafening. They can move back at any time. Kind of like the Walton's, we would add on if they wanted to come back.

I needed a place to live a couple times as a young adult when I lost my housing... but it never was really a safe place for me. I always moved out again as fast as I could.

2:57 pm

2:57 pm
tygerbryght

2:58 pm
tygerbryght

I'd love one of those now with the built-in seat :yearn:
2:58 pm
lil*monkey

oh those rollators are the best... the rolls royce of walkers
2:58 pm

2:59 pm
Krista

not pitying you, just empathizing..you understand
3:00 pm
tygerbryght

it's mostly to keep me from tripping over my feet, krista. my Rt leg useta be 1/2 inch longer than the L. but since artificial hip & knee, the L is 3/4 inch longer than the Rt, but my brain has never adjusted, so I stub my toe allatime :(
3:00 pm
tygerbryght

no, I didn't think you were pitying me. it's okay
3:00 pm
Krista

my MIL gets plenty of inconsiderate people when she is in her scooter..but I think she brings some of that on herself by expecting the seas to part when they see her coming

DR1965

3:08 pm
DR1965

3:12 pm

What is the rule with asterisks anyway?
3:12 pm

I can understand why your mom's stock answer would get annoying, but the attitude itself is what's important
3:12 pm

4:01 pm

the snow plow pushes it to the edge of the street and then the diggers come and put it in trucks and take it away
7:49 pm
Lindrickway

oh pam we have had 3 months of freezing and snow already and still have another month to go
7:49 pm
Mom

wow, that is nice. They push ours to the side of the road and then you have to shovel it yourself to get into and out of the driveway
7:49 pm
Lindrickway

the piles they take away are over 3 foot high!!
7:50 pm
Mom

and in front of the mailbox so we can get the mail delivered

7:53 pm
Mom

7:53 pm
Lindrickway

7:54 pm
Mom

and it is a hurdle, to be sure
7:54 pm
pam

Yes, I am in Boston, Lind.
7:54 pm
Mom

7:59 pm
Mom

8:00 pm
Mom

8:00 pm
Lindrickway

occassionally they get a good helping but not very often
8:00 pm
Lindrickway

8:00 pm
Mom

8:01 pm
Lindrickway

no, that is what is holding me back right now
8:01 pm
Mom

8:01 pm
Lindrickway

i am having health problems, empty nest syndrome and this has been a very long cold winter
8:01 pm
Mom

Hi LadyFeline Yes indeed
8:10 pm
Mom

no apologies needed, LadyFeline. Hello
8:11 pm
Lindrickway

oh i mean not working
8:11 pm
LadyFeline

My bf was a foreign exchange student for a semester and he's currently living back there again (very unfortunately)
8:11 pm
LadyFeline

Hello there :) I'm always babbling but I never talk. Lol... I do love to travel, though :)
8:11 pm
Mom

so sorry to hear that LadyFeline.
8:11 pm
Mom

I am not getting much done on the grid either
8:12 pm
Mom

LadyFeline, so glad you spoke up
8:12 pm
Lindrickway

i love to be places but not too keen on the travelling part LadyFeline
8:12 pm
LadyFeline

Ah, Mom, that's alright. I'm thinking about being an exchange student next year when I'm a junior at uni. :)
8:12 pm
LadyFeline

Don't like flying, Lindrick?
8:13 pm
Lindrickway

8:13 pm
herinfernallady

Even when i was working i had run a clean house. It doesn't take long.Get home from work, put oven on for food, prep food, shower, laundry. Get dinner on get changed eat and so on
8:14 pm
Lindrickway

i travelled back to the UK twice last year and i just find it irritating that it takes so very long with having to be at the airport so early etc
8:14 pm
Mom

where would you like to go to be an exchange student?
8:14 pm
LadyFeline

Yeah, it's a long time travel time across the Pacific! You always see people doing "plane walks," though... That's always something you can do on especially long flights.
8:14 pm
Lindrickway

I work 10 hours a day herin and by the time i get dinner and babble it is time for bed!!
8:14 pm
LadyFeline

Ohhh yeah... Waits at the airport kill me!

LadyFeline

Thanks and nice meeting you, too.
8:17 pm
Lindrickway

what time is it there mom?
8:17 pm
herinfernallady

If you spend 30min a day doing house choirs it doesn't take long. You can make a game of Hoops for little kids to get their washing into the basket
8:17 pm

seain, thanks for that recipe the other day (yesterday?) I am inspired to go back to my cookbooks and be a little more creative in the kitchen again.
11:09 pm
jillibus

and I'm back too :D
11:09 pm
stidmama

I also looked around your livejournal pages, and found we have several interests in common.
11:09 pm
stidmama

hey jilleroo! Did you get firewords?
11:09 pm
jillibus

what recipe, dc & stid?
11:09 pm
stidmama

the one for vegan sausages and potatoes. It sounds yummy, but must get sausages before I can try it. :-)
11:09 pm
Atalante

hi all. I'm awake far too early and bored!
11:09 pm
jillibus

yep, stid -- more easily that I expected
11:10 pm
dcseain

oh, a simple skillet dish i threw together yesterday, jilli.
11:10 pm
stidmama

hey atalante! I looked for a pic for you to deface, but haven't found one yet. I don't usually take pics of myself...
11:10 pm
jillibus

*always looking for stuff stid can eat*
11:10 pm
dcseain

real link sausages work fine, just don't add oil then.
11:11 pm
dcseain

morning, ata! *passes tea* Milk, sugar, and/or honey?
11:11 pm
stidmama

Jill -- remember I can eat most everything. Just the things I can't I really can't.... (sad face). And I am going to move toward being vegan at home, seain -- I feel a lot healthier when I am.
11:11 pm
Ankhorite

(((STIDDY!)))) Jilli! Hi, all! Glad to hear it, Seain.
11:11 pm

bored, ata? Where's my Cartlandition? We had a big laugh earlier with jac's and Haz's :D
11:11 pm

just milk please! TY!
11:12 pm
Atalante

I'm waiuting for FM to provide something to be made pretty!
11:12 pm

1.5lb sausage things, 3-5 lb potatoes, 1.5 large onion, or 1 large onion and 1 bulb garlic, i used about 1.5C parsley, chopped, stid.
11:12 pm
Ankhorite

Just sugar, please, lots of it!
11:12 pm
dcseain

regular sugar or evaporated cane juice?
11:12 pm

Regular processed bad-for-you sugar, please.
11:12 pm

I'd like a little tea with my sugar, if you don't mind...

11:13 pm

hey fruittart! was it your website I referenced in my post a little bit ago?
11:13 pm

Today.... we finally put away the last of the christmas wrap. I can see my living room floor again.
11:13 pm

ec + t5

LOL ankh! sounds like my kind of housekeeping
11:14 pm
fruittart

You linked a hazelnut/chocolate cake, stid
11:14 pm
stidmama

yep! that was it. Still need to try it... *grin*
11:14 pm
Ankhorite

If my sweetpea hadn't done all the work, I would live in a hamster-nest of christmas paper all year long.
11:14 pm
stidmama

I haven't really been grocery shopping in about a month.
11:14 pm
jillibus

ec7 -- most of a tubal pregnancy but a vowel ending
11:14 pm
dcseain

i use MorningStar Farms veggie sausage links, but any link sausage works well jilli. lay sausages to cover bottom of skillet, sprinkle with onion, add water to almost cover, then layer thinly sliced potatoes/salt/pepper/onion-garlic (parsley) until pan full, ending with potato/salt/pepper. cover and cook over med until potatoes cooked. if using veggie sausage, add 1.5Coil to sausage at start.
11:15 pm
Ankhorite

Fruittart, you're looking lovely today (icon)
11:15 pm
fruittart

ty, tye. I can go to bed happy. still have 60 left . . . ;-)

11:15 pm

txs again, Jilli, tubal clue
11:16 pm

Atalante, I grabbed the camera that was sitting next to me on the bed. You want grim, pleasant or smiling?
11:16 pm

ohhhh smiling muchly!

Thanks for the ec clue, Dan.
11:17 pm

I think I'll crop it, either way. Don't want to show what a total mess my bedside table is
11:17 pm

oh, ankh, we're beginning to organise a dc/baltimore babble meet-up :)
11:17 pm

11:18 pm

dc, I have a super-easy sausage recipe -- 1 cup raw white rice, 1 large can diced tomatoes, 3 stalks celery in 1 inch pieces. Bake at 350F for one and a half hours.
11:18 pm
Ankhorite

Thanks, Seain, but I'll be here a little bit, just saying niters to Tart.
11:18 pm
dcseain

oh, a very simple jambalaya. i used to be known for my jambalaya. sigh.
11:19 pm
dcseain

haven't made it in 16 years. been that long since i ate meat/seafood/fish.
11:19 pm
jillibus

oh, forgot the sausage topping! 12 of them on the top, lol
11:20 pm
jillibus

vegan/veggie cooking is very difficult for longtime carnivores
11:21 pm
jillibus

rather, such meal planning is diffucult
11:21 pm
dcseain

indeed it is, jilli. :) happily, there are tons of wonderful vegetarian sausages nowadays.
11:21 pm
dcseain

and some really good fake chicken stuff too, notably Quorn brand
11:21 pm
Atalante

I have some yummy tomato and mushroom sausages waiting for me for dinner tonight
11:22 pm
jillibus

which doesn't exist here, dc
11:22 pm
stidmama

those sound yummy too Atalante!
11:22 pm
stidmama

no vegan jambalaya seain? surely you can come up with something...
11:23 pm
dcseain

vegan jambalaya. probably could. veggie NP.
11:23 pm
dcseain

yum, ata
11:23 pm
stidmama

okay atalante, sent it from my home email because neither google nor yahoo are very cooperative today
11:23 pm
jillibus

I think I'd better shuddup about cooking, which I don't like, even the old style
11:23 pm
Atalante

woooot! :D
11:24 pm
dcseain

Quorn comes from England, been available in this country for about 6 years now.
11:24 pm
jillibus

anyone need clues?
11:24 pm
stidmama

which is a shame, because people should know you are a passable cook and a great host, Jill
11:24 pm
dcseain

ata is collecting pictures?
11:24 pm
dcseain

not liking to cook is not at all the same as not being able to cook.
11:24 pm
stidmama

Atalante is going to do me up like a British Tammy Faye. There's a whole group of strangely demented folks...
11:25 pm
Atalante

you've only recently had Quorn? Wow
11:25 pm
stidmama

I think Haz and Jacula are leading the charge, though
11:25 pm
Atalante

google Barbara Cartland, dc
11:25 pm
jillibus

the Brit Tammy Faye is Barbara Cartland, noted author <vbg>
11:26 pm
dcseain

oh, yes, i know Barbara Cartland; somehow she's not as frightening as tammy faye, more genial
11:26 pm
stidmama

seain, one of my favorite websites is veganyumyum.com have you been there?
11:26 pm
dcseain

the FDA - Food & Drug Administration delayed Quorn's entry to the US for many years, ata.
11:26 pm
Atalante

princess di's step-granny
11:27 pm
dcseain

yes, saw Haz Cartland LOL
11:27 pm
Atalante

really? wow. I lived on that stuff as a kid
11:27 pm
stidmama

NO! was she really? LOL
11:27 pm
dcseain

no, stid, i'll check it out. do you know 101cookbooks.com?
11:27 pm
dcseain

for real, ata?
11:27 pm
Atalante

yep! her daughter Raine was Di's step-mum
11:27 pm
stidmama

I don't think so, will look at that one too
11:28 pm
stidmama

not sure why, but having a rotten time accessing sites tonight. Now even the places I enter directly in the address bar are failing before they load
11:29 pm
Atalante

close and restart your browser?
11:29 pm
dcseain

and clear your browser cache
11:30 pm
jillibus

Here's Barbara Cartland -- not nearley a vulgar as the poor late Tammy Faye
11:30 pm
stidmama

neat website, seain, havebookmarked it for further perusal
11:30 pm
stidmama

I hadn't thought of that, but the son who uses Linux was also having trouble tonight. And since it isn't all sites I am sure it's not our server at home. *sigh*
11:30 pm
jillibus

"passable cook" -- faint praise indeed for a lot of effort!
11:31 pm
Atalante

oh thats scary then, BC is the height of scariness here. especially the pink obsession
11:31 pm
stidmama

and I clear the cache every time I exit and return
11:31 pm
stidmama

LOL Jill! I wondered if you would pick up on that! You know I ADORE your cooking!
11:32 pm
stidmama

actually, I rather like pink, as you will see from the little bit of my jammies in the picture...
11:32 pm
stidmama

but in a houseful of men-folk, I don't get to make too many pink statements. *grin*
11:32 pm
dcseain

pink makes me look jaundiced - i avoid all but the deepest, dustiest shades of it.
11:33 pm
Atalante

I adore pink. But not in *everything* I possess
11:33 pm
dcseain

i'm all about orange, and brown, and beige, and green, the odd deep red, blue, or purple. i can do most non-pink pastels, too.
11:33 pm
stidmama

yes, you seem more of a purple sort to me...
11:33 pm
stidmama

LOL
11:34 pm
dcseain

i'm wearing a plaid shirt in orange, red, blue, and rgeen right now :)
11:34 pm
dcseain

oh, some yellow in it too.
11:34 pm
stidmama

I stopped wearing pink in my 20s, though I love it. No one would take me seriously, since when I wore it I looked about 12... I just bought a pink shirt last week
11:34 pm
stidmama

A plaid man -- kilts, perhaps?
11:34 pm
woceht

ok i officially give up on this puzzle. what's with all these colours?
11:34 pm
dcseain

one of my coworkers wore a pink shirt today. she and i were the colour in the office today :)
11:35 pm
stidmama

I think though, with the bits of gray in my hair, I can carry pink and not look juvenile
11:35 pm
stidmama

hello woceht
11:35 pm
dcseain

hi, woceth!
11:35 pm
dcseain

indeed so, stid
11:35 pm
stidmama

what a gorgeous fish in your icon!
11:35 pm
Atalante

I gave up pink too, a good few years ago, but now I just don't care and love pink. I have pink shoes.
11:35 pm
woceht

heh. i like black, myself.
11:35 pm
stidmama

I want to get my Tom into a kilt. He has nice knees...
11:36 pm
stidmama

black is a decent color also. But I can't wear it if I am the least bit tired. Makes my eyes are weird.
11:36 pm
dcseain

hm. if red hat with purple dress, then i think a ... pastel blue hat with pink dress
11:36 pm
woceht

really? haven't noticed anyone looking bad in black yet.
11:36 pm
dcseain

there's an outfit in scotland where you can design your own plaid, and have clothing made, stid.
11:37 pm
stidmama

I have VERY pale skin -- even in the summer. I have to be in full health to not look sallow and ... yeah. weird.
11:37 pm
stidmama

I know, seain! I have played with their website off and on for years. I LOVE The "make your own" feature. of course, cost is an issue, but it would be so cool to have a family plaid
11:38 pm
dcseain

it's amazing what varying the threads do, isn't it?
11:38 pm
dcseain

in terms of count and colour, that is.
11:38 pm
stidmama

yes, indeed -- and whether it's a symmetrical plaid or not, too.
11:39 pm
stidmama

It's so much easier than drawing them out by hand on graph paper like I used to. *looks around to see if anyone is bothered by obsessive color/fabric talk*
11:40 pm
Atalante

*not bothered*
11:40 pm
jillibus

is ata still here? This is Tammy Faye
11:40 pm
woceht

my roommate loves fabrics. i haven't quite gotten to the point where i can tell what the differences are yet, unfortunately.
11:40 pm
dcseain

fabric - it was cold enough 2 days this winter for me to use my nice Irish wool sweaters. mostly, it gets not cold enough for them here. :(
11:41 pm
Atalante

oh yes ... thats quite scary!
11:41 pm
jillibus

please -- tartan, not plaid!
11:41 pm
dcseain

the scots i know call it plaid, pronounced as played.
11:41 pm
dcseain

unless they're referring to a specific tartan
11:42 pm
Atalante

Tartan is also known as plaid in North America, but in Scotland this word means a tartan cloth slung over the shoulder or a blanket.
11:43 pm
stidmama

and aren't tartans registered generally? plaid simply means any checkered fabric
11:44 pm
dcseain

indeed so, stid
11:44 pm
dcseain

my friend Elizabeth always complains that Clan Buchan's tartan is hideous, and i agree the old one is pretty awful-looking.
11:45 pm
stidmama

I was working for Ralph Munro when the Washington State tartan arrived in the offices. I got to touch it. The wool was sooooo soft, like a fine flannel. and the colors are really pretty together, too. red for the apples, blue for the waters, a gold color for the wheat, green background of course (we're the evergreen state)...
11:46 pm
jillibus

ok, I stand corrrrected -- plaid for those not entitiled to a tartan. Mine is Murray of Atholl. Naughty nephew refers to it as Murray of Ath-hole
11:46 pm
stidmama

it is gorgeous. That was a long time ago *slips off into reverie*
11:46 pm
stidmama

rofl silly nephew.
11:46 pm
dcseain

heh, that's funny jilli
11:47 pm
dcseain

my state has no tartan, but the Senate of the Commonwealth has a lovely set of arms designed by the Royal College of Arms, which Virginia still recognizes as an offical authority.
11:48 pm
stidmama

right and white for the mountains and black for mt st helens' eruption
11:48 pm
stidmama

are you on the south side of the river seain? why did I think you were towards maryland?
11:48 pm
woceht

hm. at the risk of sounding absolutely ignorant...what is the significance of the tartan?
11:49 pm
Atalante

I love the fact America has state fishes
11:49 pm
woceht

does every state have one>
11:49 pm
jillibus

stid, I seem to remember a NoVa in dc's handle
11:49 pm
stidmama

a tartan identifies you as friend or foe to anyone who knows it. They were like a sort of banner that was worn everywhere
11:49 pm
dcseain

I live in Reston, VA, about 12 minutes from Maryland, and i go to MD a lot for social stuff, and i used to go to a UU church in MD
11:50 pm
stidmama

and usually tartans are for families or clans, not for municipalities
11:50 pm
jillibus

Hi woceht in Singapore -- Scottish clans have special tartans
11:50 pm
stidmama

okay, that is probably where my confusion came from. Maybe. *looking confused*
11:50 pm
dcseain

i live about halfway between the beltaway and white's ferry. i often take the ferry if i'm home and headding to rockville or NW in MD on weekday evenings.
11:50 pm
woceht

i see.
11:50 pm
stidmama

a tartan for most people these days is just a plaid with a name so you can ask for the one that matches your sweater.
11:51 pm
jillibus

We Scots tend to get huffy about fake tartans
11:51 pm
woceht

yea i can see where the whole feudal concept would be a bit outdated.
11:51 pm
woceht

yea i can see where the whole feudal concept would be a bit outdated.
11:51 pm
woceht

so what was that about the washington tartan?
11:51 pm
stidmama

but technically only family members are supposed to wear the family tartan/use the arms/sit on the throne...
11:52 pm
dcseain

The State of Washington comissioned a tartan, one can register a tartan; Scotland has a registry.
11:52 pm
helenkeller

hello babblers! 8 minutes & 107 to go! hmmmmmmmmm
11:52 pm

for the washington state centennial in 1989 some people thought it would be fitting, since there are so many here with ancestors from scotland, to get a special tartan
11:52 pm
stidmama

hey helen!
11:52 pm
Atalante

OMG PA has a state cookie
11:52 pm

We family tartan wearers also have clan badges and such

11:55 pm

there are many strange happeneings in the USA. lol!
11:55 pm

fox hunting is the state sport here in VA, and teh English Foxhound is our dog, and the red fox is our mammal.
11:55 pm

no, there are many that are quite old -- just I think there are a lot of newer ones also
11:55 pm

yep! TY!
11:56 pm

yay foxes!

since 1990-something, they do not kill the foxes anymore, chase, catch, and release. we used to go to the hunts in The Plains growing up We went to the Middleburg hunt once or twice, too.

red fox barks are one of the most disturbing noises in nature. they keep me up at night sometimes; we have a lot of fox here.

I still think it's mean -- scaring the poor foxes (which are not really a very sympathetic animal if one has chickens or rabbits)
