Sydney prices are double that dc, daughter and i pay 740 per week, but it is very large and has a pool

i'd pay 300-1500 more closer to the city. I live about 20km West of DC, and about 15km W of the inner burbs.
1:25 am

and it is less than we were paying before we pooled our resources
1:25 am
herinfernallady

That is obscene
1:26 am

i want to buy in inner burbs, but buying there is much cheaper than renting there for some reason.

3:42 am

you'll remember how I never could find them, and then started to get them out of the way first before allowing myself to babble on? That is a good way to learn.

oh! Smart hurshy! Thanks hun, too true.
3:51 am

3:54 am
hurshy

cause people are sleeping by then
3:54 am
Atalante

no, just the plural
3:55 am
sprite

that must be it. Though good sex always gives me energy. Hubby goes to sleep and I am awake for hours.

4:01 am

4:02 am

Caya is still on the mend MonkeyG! The shadows under her eyes are lessening all the time, she has more energy every day and has started wanting to do things again. Going well :)
4:07 am
MonkeyGames

Oh good! Walter was still having the occasional raccoon-eyes day right up to a ocuple of weeks ago. Poor Caya!
4:08 am
sprite

as long as she is going in the right direction, it is ok, MonkeyG :) Glad you MonkeyMan is back to his normal shiny self. I keep things simple: as soon as I see her raccoon-look coming back, I put her in bed early after a prolongued hug-cum-reiki.
4:09 am

Yes, that's the right approach. Gove her a kiss fo rme.

the only problem is that she's only ever caught *1* pheasant in her 6 years of life ...
4:33 am

then she is due for another
4:34 am

that 1 was about 2 months ago LOL
4:34 am

Maybe the hub will give Hobbit somepointers this morn....
4:35 am

can someone please explain..i put in the de6/27 in lickety and checked with morewords and the grid tells me its not in the dictionary..hi sprite
4:49 am

lickety uses a newer version of enable than babble, might be what has caused the difference.
4:49 am

and hi nikki :)
4:50 am
niksforjaff

so its a completely word then?
4:50 am

afk for a short while
4:50 am

different word?
4:51 am
rolin

niks...do you have the abbrev. de4/6?
4:51 am
Haz1558

Forget that word (demoed) as far as babble today is concerned. It won't take it and won't give you any points. Babble thinks it doesn't exist.
4:52 am
niksforjaff

i have the de4/6..is it a plural of?
4:53 am
niksforjaff

ok..thanks

4:53 am

excellent. Feeding pets is highly overrated.
4:54 am
Haz1558

Great news, Atalante - pleased to hear it. Spangle hasn't been fed this morning either.
4:54 am
NonoNanette

and why are we not feeding the animals?
4:54 am
Haz1558

In case we spoil them.
4:55 am
Atalante

they are all going on a diet of gruel once a morning
4:55 am
NonoNanette

me thinks its already too late for that Haz :)
4:55 am
Atalante

*once a day!
4:55 am
LoriP

Since when is food a right?
4:55 am
Haz1558

It's a case of staging an intervention with Ata. She had thought she was supposed to feed them regularly.
4:56 am
Atalante

i suppose i should get her a kennel too
4:57 am
Haz1558

Absolutely. One without any comforts of any kind.
4:57 am
LoriP

Outside will teach them survival skills they lack, when being fed by humans.
4:58 am
Atalante

you mean she might learn to catch more pheasants?
4:58 am
LoriP

Musn't coddle them.
4:58 am
Haz1558

I'd say pheasants are currently quaking in their boots at the thought of a new improved hunting Hobbit.
4:59 am
Atalante

i'd say they are probably laughing
4:59 am
LoriP

word got out about Hobbit's recent capture, so they are hiding en masse. bad for the bird population.
4:59 am
Haz1558

And the peasants who look after the pheasants are probably talking about 'The Black streak'
5:00 am
LoriP

***Wow, I am HATING this 'm'***
5:00 am
Atalante

she did chase her Arch Enemy up a tree yesterday. that was a success for her!
5:00 am
Haz1558

It's not pleasant to be a peasant pheasant owner when the Black Streak is around.

6:03 am
crosshair

not well this morn..will they ever get something better than this poison to kill off the cancer scrabbler?
6:04 am
Scrabbler

Isn't it awful?! It IS a poison, a toxin. Cancer is SO evil that we must poison those rogue, nasty cells. Some cancers now are being treated with vaccines created by harvesting the patient's cancer cells then making a vaccine designed specifically for that person.
6:05 am
crosshair

i think the small anti nausea bag they give you first is just for the mind....
6:06 am
Scrabbler

Placebo, huh?
6:06 am

has a nice red label on it that you can look at while the room spins....
6:07 am
Scrabbler

Aha, visual imagery.
6:07 am
Atalante

might as well find Johnny Walker red label
6:08 am
crosshair

and why must the damn needle they put in for this be #1 made of plastic and #2 be 1/4 in diameter? good grief!
6:08 am
crosshair

k enuff bitching time to get sum words;))
6:08 am
Scrabbler

No way, the needle isn't plastic?
6:08 am

Good afternoon everyone .
6:09 am

6:09 am
Scrabbler

Hi Elder. It is still pitch black here at 7 AM. I have to leave for work in 45 minutes.
6:10 am
Scrabbler

You mean ICE chips?
6:10 am

hi elder
6:14 am
Atalante

but! I have a solution now! We discovered that an anti-sickness drug hospitals use after operations just about manages to stop it. So now I just get drugged up for long journeys!
6:15 am
Scrabbler

Which one? Ondansetron?
6:15 am
elder

Ata, what a good solution.

6:58 am
redturtlehead

6:58 am

Colerado.
6:58 am
EspritdJean

Joe the Plumber is going to become a millionaire
6:59 am
redturtlehead

Oooh a hotly contested state!
6:59 am
elder

Esp. LOL. that creases me when I hear it.
6:59 am
redturtlehead

Jean, I just read that Joe the Plumber actually owes a bunch of back taxes....so if he isnt going to pay what does he care about rising taxes?
7:00 am
EspritdJean

it's pathetic, really
7:00 am
EspritdJean

the whole country's focus switched from the issues to Joe over night
7:00 am
EspritdJean

ge of every paper
7:00 am
EspritdJean

yes Red, I heard that too
7:00 am
elder

Umm.. yes Colorado is the most wonderful state, but its politics are sometimes .... ..
7:00 am
EspritdJean

but his appearances on the talk shows will cover it :-)
7:01 am
redturtlehead

I think the problem is that suddenly the issues are very scary, easier to focus on a plumber.
7:01 am
elder

Obama is in the lead in the polls.
7:01 am
redturtlehead

COlorado has some interesting Religious sects....
7:01 am
redturtlehead

Obama is ahead but just barely, and I hope it isnt a wierd effect.
7:02 am
redturtlehead

funny Jean!
7:03 am
elder

I do wonder if MCcain is regretting his choice of running mate.
7:03 am
EspritdJean

American politics have got to be the laughingstock of the planet
7:04 am
EspritdJean

McCain has dead-looking reptilian eyes in my opinion
7:04 am
elder

Esp, probably not, we do pretty well ourselves at times.
7:04 am
EspritdJean

I think he's a cyborg
7:04 am
redturtlehead

it is entertaining that Palin looks so much like the comedienne Tina Fey!
7:04 am
EspritdJean

Red, every time Palin opens her mouth a cartoon writes itself
7:05 am
elder

I do get concerned when I hear some of the reasons why the American people are voting for one or the other candidates.
7:05 am
redturtlehead

but you forget Jean....according to the lady on talk radio, Obama is not an American citizen...the dems apparently are hiding that.
7:05 am
elder

I don't know Tina fay.
7:05 am
EspritdJean

she is a riot Elder
7:05 am
redturtlehead

It's horrible elder, I've heard people say they don't think Baraks name is presedential enough...
7:06 am
EspritdJean

she has impersonating Palin down to a "T"
7:06 am
redturtlehead

She is Palins Lost twin.
7:06 am

7:08 am

My Cousin is a bit wierd.

One woman said he was a child/ baby killer and that he was not a Christian.
7:08 am
EspritdJean

7:09 am
elder

red. lol
7:09 am
Anniebrook

there are many people who will not vote for Obama because he is african-american...damn shame
7:09 am
EspritdJean

exactly right annie
7:09 am
redturtlehead

I met Obama in NH last summer. He really impressed me.
7:09 am
EspritdJean

and he will probably need the largest secret service detail in the history of the country
7:09 am
elder

Yes, sadly I think you are correct.
7:10 am
Anniebrook

yes Jean
7:10 am
redturtlehead

Jean, several African Americans I work with are predicting his win and assassination.
7:10 am
elder

there is no doubt he can hold a crowds attention.
7:10 am
EspritdJean

Red, I think that is enough information that we can staart a rumor that you and Obama trysted in NH last summer
7:11 am
redturtlehead

LOL jean! lets not start that.
7:11 am
Anniebrook

Jean, and people will believe it and pass it on
7:11 am
EspritdJean

Never let me have any fun :-9
7:11 am
elder

That's a worry. wasn't there, a few months back a man/men arrested whilst trying to get to him to kill him.
7:12 am
Anniebrook

they are trying to destroy the minority vote by besmirching and suing Acorn
7:12 am
EspritdJean

I don't recall that elder
7:12 am
elder

and what has Acorn done, except to hang on trees.
7:13 am
EspritdJean

Acorn has done some shady things regarding voter registration elder
7:13 am
redturtlehead

I just feel McCain is such a schmuck. He graduated close to last in his class....
7:13 am
Anniebrook

LOL, elder and registering people to vote
7:13 am
elder

Esp, it was on our news..
7:13 am
redturtlehead

And Acorn has had apparently some bad behavior, but...
7:13 am
elder

Red, tell it how it is. lol
7:13 am
Anniebrook

AND Palin went to SIX colleges before she finally graduated
7:13 am
EspritdJean

I don't want to see McCain's plastic barbie doll wife as 1st lady either
7:13 am
redturtlehead

I want a smart pres....strange as that seems.
7:13 am
redturtlehead

You got the same email Annie?
7:14 am

But, Ata, it occurred to me that you could have a musical refinement - music! Ave Maria or something.

And it could be adapted for brides. They could come up the aisle to one tune and down to another.

nik - were you the person who asked me to hold it? I can't remember who asked me to leave it there so they could copy it, if it was you, then I can change!
9:17 am

oh yes. or a picture of Mary to light up
9:17 am

Take Hazs toy bear clue and change the last lastter for a vowel for the 4/6 and add 2 letters to pl it

actually kje its Sandyloo Im just finishing for her
9:18 am
Atalante

who needs an orchestra when you can have a tiara?
9:18 am
Haz1558

It could be a marketing triumph.
9:18 am

it would make millions

and you could have them for dogs and cats too

well, the recipe works...every time... can not speak to your baking skills though... if you really have only baked one cake before, can post a really easy cocoa cake tomorrow if you like, that is to die for

As long as you take no suggestions from sandy..

oh good. no one died.

We only 'die' for long periods when we want to ... make it appear that we are not here.
9:38 am
Atalante

ooo semtex!
9:38 am
Haz1558

Semtex - highly explosive material. Ata might do better with it with this grid than kicking.
9:38 am
nbjasmine

ah. i will get a clue and go away now.
9:39 am
Atalante

oh haz - random question - what do you think of the new film about thingamabob who starved himself to death. I can *not* think of words today! Is there much angst in NI?
9:39 am
Haz1558

It's okay - semtex was used rather a lot around here a few years ago, I tend to forget that others might not have had the same experience.
9:39 am
Haz1558

Bobby Sands?
9:40 am
Haz1558

I didn't even know that a new film had been released, so maybe that answers your question!
9:41 am
Haz1558

Quite a cruel wall slogan appeared in loyalist areas after Bobby Sands died 'We'll never forget you, Jimmy Sands'
9:41 am
Atalante

lol! yes, I think so! it had it's premiere last night I think
9:41 am
Atalante

ouch
9:42 am
Haz1558

I know. We have quite a black sense of humour (on both sides) but it probably has helped to get us through.
9:43 am
Atalante

absolutely. humour is necessary when things get worse and worse
9:43 am
Atalante

it' meant to be a pretty good film, actually
9:43 am
Haz1558

So, is it based on Bobby Sands?
9:44 am
Haz1558

Most films feature people with dreadful Northern Ireland accents.
9:44 am
Atalante

yep: http://tinyurl.com/5nj6t3
9:44 am
Haz1558

If they'd just use Liam Neeson, they'd be half-way to success.
9:44 am
Atalante

the accents provide the humour
9:46 am

Good afternoon everyone.
9:46 am
Haz1558

Hello elder!
9:47 am
Atalante

hi elder!
9:47 am
Haz1558

Just read the piece, Atalante. Both sides are unhappy, so it probably means that the film is okay.
9:47 am
onyx

morning babblers!
9:47 am
Haz1558

Good morning onyx.
9:48 am
Atalante

I don't know if that's a good review, it was just the first I found, but yes, I think everyone's equally grumbly, so it sounds quite interesting
9:48 am
elder

Bobby Sands, crikey I hope they get it right. Who is making the film.
9:48 am
Atalante

it's interesting for me, cos I'm just a bit too young to actually remember these events. The concept of starving yourself to death just seems so horrific, I can't easily see what could lead to that
9:48 am
elder

forget what I just wrote.
9:48 am
Haz1558

The problem is that it will be told from one perspective. Those with a different viewpoint won't accept that there was an alternative view and will just want THEIR side put across.
9:49 am
elder

Quite.
9:49 am
Atalante

apparently this film doesn't deal with the politics. um, how?
9:49 am
elder

I remember it well and all the horrid things that were actioned.
9:50 am
elder

Pointless then.
9:50 am
Haz1558

It'll probably be told from the psychological point of view, but since he was in Long Kesh for political reasons, it'll have to be touched on.
9:51 am
Atalante

I think I'd quite like to see it at some point
9:51 am
Haz1558

I lived through the whole thing, though obviously not at the centre of the action. I was only 11 when the whole thing started and I remember feeling guilty because, as a child, I used to think 'Nothing exciting ever happens here.'
9:51 am
elder

Bringing memories and not all bad.
9:51 am
dan2bit

yay! found the 8 on my own
9:51 am

My husband lived on Murder Mile while he was at uni. Insane man
9:52 am
Haz1558

It has been a long haul to get to where we are today. I still find some aspects of the peace process hard to swallow.
9:53 am
Haz1558

Maybe that explains a lot, Ata. He could sue.
9:53 am
Atalante

is there anyone in NI that hasn't had to compromise over the peace processes?
9:54 am
Atalante

lol I was in junior school when he went to uni
9:54 am
Haz1558

Everybody has had to. Republicans haven't got their ultimate goal.
9:54 am
Haz1558

Loyalists have had to accept an Irish dimension.
9:54 am
elder

the many women also, for their marches of peace.
9:54 am
Haz1558

Neither side is completely happy. The law-abiding majority just have to deal with being pawns in a bigger political game.
9:56 am
Atalante

I can see it more now, but when I was growing up I could never understand how people like Gerry Adams could be lauded for being peaceful and in charge when they used to kill people. Wonderful childhood simplicity
9:56 am

Sadly Haz, I that is true for most of the population there and here.
9:57 am

OMG... this grid is a nightmare, LOL!
9:57 am
mom2han8

Haz... that is true!
9:57 am
Atalante

yeah ... it's such a - an impossible concept
9:58 am
Haz1558

The trick is in getting people to think that the past has to be forgotten, or at least viewed through different eyes.
9:58 am
Haz1558

And mom2 - what you said about the grid is true!
9:58 am
Haz1558

To think this all started with semtex...
9:58 am
Atalante

when most of them don't want to see differently
9:58 am
Haz1558

elder, when were you in NI?
9:59 am
elder

yes, I remember thinking that when Margaret Thatcher was heralding the leader of the Polish union Party at a time when she was destroying ours.
9:59 am
Atalante

lol yes sorry for dragging everyone off into deep and meaningfulness!
9:59 am
mom2han8

Forgeetting history is probably not the best advice.... LOL!
9:59 am
Haz1558

Oh, absolutely, Ata. It takes an act of will to see things from another's point of view. Seeing another's point of view doesn't mean that you have to agree.
10:00 am
elder

I was in NI the late 80's not at the worst time but scary a times with all the no go areas that we had to go into.
10:00 am
Haz1558

I love history - but you have to be careful about knowing what is history and what is progaganda.
10:01 am
Haz1558

How interesting! I think the 70s were definitely the worst times.
10:01 am
elder

Oh yes they were..
10:01 am
Haz1558

Having said that, it's amazing how you take things for granted. Our freedom to move around was restricted but you just adapt.
10:02 am
mom2han8

The problem is that everyone has an agenda, which skewers their point of view, i.e., someone might want to vote for, say, Obama, but then it is put forth that if you are a small business owner you will suffer under Obama... historically small businesses have done better under democrats, but, if you believe the other side, then your personal agenda as a small business person outweighs the fact that he might actually be the best candidate for the COUNTRY...
10:02 am
onyx

I have been "listening to your conversation, it is like living history for those of us that only read about it in the papers. Keep talking, keep educating the rest of us. Although i have n't been able to do the puzzle
10:03 am
Atalante

lol onyx, I havent' even looked at the grid for ages!
10:03 am
mom2han8

The conversation is more interesting and less frustrating than the puzzle.. LOL
10:03 am
elder

On a lighter note, also had the most amazing times and laughter, there and the scenes were beautiful.
10:03 am
Atalante

I think the only time the troubles actually affected me was one day I was in London when some of the big nail bombs exploded there. That was quite surreal being rushed home and seeing my mother scared for the first time ever
10:04 am
Haz1558

That's what used to be so frustrating. The country is beautiful and yet it was depicted as burning buildings and people shooting at each other.
10:04 am
onyx

Didn't some one say that war brings out the best and the worst of humanity?
10:04 am
Atalante

it's the same in South Africa. All you'd see on the news for years was Soweto
10:04 am
Haz1558

That was true for a minority of people. The rest of the time, life was pretty normal - or as normal as it could be.
10:05 am
Haz1558

That's true, Ata. It's why I always watch news reports with the feeling that we're only seeing a small element of the truth.
10:06 am
Atalante

absolutely
10:06 am
elder

Haz, there those of us who knew better.I still hold dear the country and its people. Even before the peace agreements, I used to suggest to people to go on holiday there.
10:06 am
Haz1558

For instance, in the late seventies large parts of Belfast were cleared so that a new road could be put through. Those cleared houses were often used as examples of how people were suffering because of the troubles!
10:07 am
Haz1558

Good for you, elder - keep telling them because we love visitors - everybody remarks on our welcomes!
10:08 am
Atalante

and my aunt's maid (yeah, well, it happened) in Cape town lived in this shanty town which was always on the news seeing how awful life was etc etc. Yes, it certainly wasn't nice in any way, but you went into her house, and she had a microwave, tv, video recorder, you name it, they had it!

Oh good. Those men meant it when they said they were good at covert operations.
11:27 am

well goood thing i did just take the half inch of dust from the baseboard heat in this room :D
11:28 am

11:36 am
Haz1558

If it's any comfort, I hit the list much earlier than usual. The highest proportion of unusual words I think I've ever seen.
11:37 am
Atalante

is 28 to go good going sans list?
11:37 am
Haz1558

It's worthy of HUGE quantities of smug.
11:37 am

well gee thanks, ata. now i must wait until i get to 28. not that im competitive or anything.
11:38 am

11:41 am

if it's any consolation, I think I listed at 28...
11:41 am
Pinikula

...ok...actually at 50...but this grid is tough!
11:41 am

You could exercise and babble, walk and babble, and when you're feeling triumphant, strut and babble.

Ata - she meant she used the list when she had found 28 words.
11:42 am
Pinikula

I think there are just tooooo many vowels!!!
11:43 am
Haz1558

I must switch on the universal translator, Ata's mind is going.
11:43 am
Pinikula

No, I really listed at 50 (that was my goal)...I only said 28 becuase someone got that far before going to list?
11:43 am
72 Temple Owl

you haven't been smugged till you;ve been smugged by ata
11:44 am
Pinikula

er...I mean...someone had 28 LEFT to find before going to list...
11:44 am
Pinikula

....or maybe I need glasses to read better.
11:44 am

Some people may not have used the list at all.

11:45 am
72 Temple Owl

11:46 am
Atalante

did sprite use the list?
11:46 am
Haz1558

I don't know.
11:46 am
72 Temple Owl

plesae tell me - how did they do it on the days there was no list?
11:47 am
72 Temple Owl

i mean, there were people who did in the ancient days.
11:47 am
Haz1558

There was a much lower expectation of finishing in the old days pre-list.
11:48 am
Atalante

but we all tended to work together
11:48 am

does this mean we can not steal the recipe?
12:39 pm
MonkeyGames

Of course! It is my own recipe based on years of trial and error. Where am I? OK, if desired soak and thinly slice a dozen or so dried shitake's, and stir fry until brownish on at least one side.

what's lumpia?
12:40 pm

Get about 2 cups bean sprouts and set aside (do not cook).
12:40 pm

Me too...haven't had it in years!!!
12:40 pm

lumpia are philippine eggrolls

12:41 pm
MonkeyGames

OK... that should be all the basics. Now you have all these bowls of stuff sitting around. Stir fry the chicken (ground, remember) or pork until well cooked. Splash with rice wine. Then add back to it all the other things, a couple of tablespoons of oyster sauce, around a tablespoon of sesame oil. These are the Vietnamese style ones.
12:42 pm
MonkeyGames

Once everything is well mixed put it in a collander or similar over a big bowl and chill and drain simultaneously. If it isn't cold when you wrap the wrappers will deform.
12:42 pm
aknitter

gag oyster sauce -- leaving that out
12:43 pm
lil*monkey

oh i agree , knitty... oyster sauce is like snot
12:43 pm
aknitter

not ever having tried snot i will take your word for that one monkey
12:43 pm
lil*monkey

i mean it LOOKS like snot
12:44 pm
MonkeyGames

You do not notice the opyster sauce in the finished product. But as I said this is MY recipe, so YOURS can be as you like. Try a tablespoon Superior Dark Soy instead if you like. You can add chilis or whatever at will. Chopped cashews are a good substitute for the water chesnuts if necessary.
12:44 pm
aknitter

mental note to omit snot
12:45 pm

Monkey, you are making me so hungry!

Hello all. I am awaiting the arrival of a friend. We will walk to the park on this glorious, sunny autumn day.
12:45 pm
MonkeyGames

OK, so now it's chilled and your wrappers are thawed. Place a wrapper on a plate. Have a small bowl of water handy. Put a line of filling across the wrapper corner to corner, leaving some space at the ends. Fols the ends over the filling, the points I mean. Lots of filling should still be visible.
12:45 pm

12:46 pm

Now take one edge of the wrap and fold it verteh filling. This should leave a reasonable amount of the other side of the wrapper outlining the side you just folded up.
12:46 pm

Kathihle

sprite> ja, no problem if you're used to making up words as you go along
2:56 pm
DR1965

too many d's
2:56 pm
sprite

well, I have done grids that everybody said were easy and that made me headbang the walls and climb the curtains, so I guess it is a personal thing. I am used to vowel combinations, which helps in this grid. Dutch is full of vowel combinations.
2:57 pm
DR1965

true Sprite- it probably personal preference
2:57 pm
sprite

making up words is mandatory when playing babble Kathihle. Often words you make up are even valid.
2:57 pm

9:22 pm
Nef

I'm going to have to look these words up in a dictionary! Good Grief! I don't know what they mean even (and I thought I was literate!)
9:23 pm
Minveryork

When it comes to babble, I believe that the literate become illiterate.
9:23 pm
Nef

Thanks Min. I owe you a few now! :D
9:24 pm
pugmama763

the why not is that while I'll happily clue requests I believe "bulk cluing " is spoon feeding ....not trying to offend you , just explaining.Luckily for you Min doesn't mind!
9:24 pm
Minveryork

Actually,I'm done. That is why I was able to clue them
9:26 pm
Nef

Pugmama, I appreciate what you are saying and have said the same in the past myself. I just want to finish a grid again to raise my stats so I'm back on all 3 stats columns again (purely selfish, I know)
9:26 pm
FunGuy

I like to clue words that don't exist in the puzzle
9:27 pm
pugmama763

i don't fret over the stats thing but I only "compete" with myself so to speak....
9:27 pm
Nef

I've been playing Babble for several years but this past year has been tough and I'm trying to get back to some sort of *normal* again. Finishing this grid would feel good for a change
9:28 pm

it's been weird weather all year. the west side should have had at least a skif of snow, and we haven't. the east side should be getting the rain.
9:59 pm
