I had a phone call from someone who had seen a name on the public genealogy list I put up ... for a person who married a distant cousin! They were nice, but couldn't imagine that a) I had no idea who the person they wanted was and b) I didn't have any more information on this person who was so clearly not truly part of my family tree! (though I admit I do sometimes put in whatever I find)
12:32 am

It's almost 1am here; I want to watch the lead-up to the Rose Parade (at 5am), so I guess I'll make another cuppa, and keep playing.
2:58 am
herinfernallady
Hi Christine. What is the Rose Parade?
2:58 am
DR1965
oh my!!! What is the rose parade...
2:59 am
DR1965
beautiful floats made out of flowers
2:59 am
herinfernallady
I have never heard of it before
2:59 am
DR1965
google pasadena tournament of roses
2:59 am
herinfernallady
ok
3:00 am
Christine
It's held annually in Pasadena, floats, bands, horses, flyover by the Stealth Bomber. It's one of the big tourist attractions, and I know it's seen in parts of Australia, NZ and UK
3:01 am
DR1965
has been around forever
3:03 am
herinfernallady
Ok so its like a harvest festivel
3:04 am
lynxxx
I've not seen nor heard it either, guess it never found its way down to Melbourne. Hi Infernal and DR
3:04 am
Birdeee
not harvest exactly- more like a spectacle based on the one rule that the floats have to be covered completely in real flowers.
3:05 am
herinfernallady
Hi Lynxx. How was your night?
3:05 am
DR1965
hi lynxxx...
3:05 am
lynxxx
Quiet here, did you have a good time Infernal
3:06 am
Christine
About 100years ago, some landowners decorated their carriages, drove wou;d=be buyers around the citrus groves, so they'd return East and telleveryone how great the weather was, even in the middle og winter. It just grew from there.
3:07 am
Birdeee
it's also kind of connected to an american-style football game - the Rose Bowl, that elite college teams compete to be able to play in - this year it is Univ of Southern California and somebody else - maybe Penn State
3:07 am
DR1965
yes.. penn state
3:07 am
herinfernallady
Yes. I got um happy
3:07 am
Christine
Shoot - I need to learn to spellcheck, before I hit send
3:07 am
DR1965
and with that... I am going to bed
3:07 am
herinfernallady
Thanks Christine.
3:07 am

NBT means you have all the words ??
3:10 am
lynxxx
NBT at least one word from each available cell
3:10 am
lynxxx
No Blank Tiles
3:11 am
Birdeee
NBT means no more blank tiles and most everyone here probably passed that point long ago
3:11 am
Christine
What are the blank tilrs ? This has all changed since I playedd 2 or 3 years ago.
3:12 am
BabbleRabble
it does? and all this time I thought it was a ban on black tutus
3:12 am
Birdeee
one more for NBT
3:13 am
lynxxx
Chris, its just a thing that some players aim for before they, say, call it a night, no biggie
3:13 am
Christine
Darn, I just stocked up on black tutus ... there's so few things a chubby 70+ can wear to really gkam affairs.
3:14 am
Birdeee
CHristine - under tile stats I am trying to get at least one word for each of the tiles that have letters that begin words. It is NOT black tutus - it means No Blueberry Turnovers
3:15 am
lynxxx
No Boring Twits
3:16 am
Birdeee

Fresh pasta makes so much difference
3:24 am
Birdeee

I am trying to wake up, I think the whole actually calling the realator plus the disorientation of freezing my tail off has emotionally and physically worn me out.
10:56 am
JBV
good day to relax, red - I know how you feel, too much adrenalin running in your system - take a babble break
10:56 am
JBV
I mean take a break with babble, not from babble
10:56 am
bichon

10:59 am
redturtlehead

11:03 am
NonoNanette

11:03 am
Judi
Magic eraser, flame thrower. Whatever works.
11:03 am
redturtlehead
True Nono!

It is a bit chilly there today, but supposed to warm up
11:04 am
redturtlehead
I am listening to a lady at the coffee shop spewing loads of crap about nutrition and nursing...together. i would like to choke her...should I?
11:05 am
phaeton
Where in NC, Red?
11:05 am
nrkii
ah, well I don't advise NJ then... it was 15 when I checked this morning, and I'm simply hibernating all day
11:05 am
phaeton
definitely!!
11:05 am
Judi
Throw a well-aimed scone at her , Red.
11:05 am
JBV
hi, nrkii - where in NJ? I'm in East Brunswick
11:05 am
redturtlehead
Oh no, I am going back to FL ASAP. I just hop someone buys that darn house.
11:06 am
nrkii
I'm in Lambertville... not too far from you
11:06 am
redturtlehead
She is a err rather large lady to be speing out erroneous nutritional information.
11:06 am
nrkii
and my new office is in South Brunswick/P'ton
11:06 am
JBV
did you get a lot of snow? we just have a dusting
11:06 am
nrkii
red, maybe she used to be larger...?
11:06 am
nrkii
we didn't get anything here... whatever fell went away
11:07 am
Judi
Hey! I know Lambertville! We've been there many times. (We're in Delaware). Love Lambertville and New Hope. Gotta be fair to both sides of the river.
11:07 am
nrkii
luckily the cold set in after the precipitation was done
11:07 am
JBV
we have just enough to make everything look pretty - with no inconvenience, perfect
11:07 am
nrkii
New Hope is great Judi... I'm happy to live in Lambertville and be able to visit NH
11:07 am
JBV
nice shopping destination, right nrkii?
11:08 am
nrkii
shopping, restaurants, bars, etc, yep
11:08 am
nrkii
Lambertville is more quaint, New Hope is more of a scene
11:08 am
redturtlehead
nrkii, its possible but she is about 5, 2 and I estimate about 300 lbs now. Ahh I have eating issues and so anyone speing out eating advice drives me batty.
11:08 am
JBV
I like quaint - have never been there, but have it on my list of NJ places to visit
11:08 am
Judi
True. But the bike trail along the canal is such a nice escape from the hub bub around town.
11:09 am
nrkii
so Lambertville had traditional English carols in one of the bars a couple weeks ago, but New Hope would have been more likely to have the gay bikers anti-carol concert
11:09 am
nrkii
both fun, but quite different
11:09 am
Judi
*ponders* Is "hub bub" one word or two? Hubbub, hub bub?
11:09 am
redturtlehead
Bike trail sounds really cool Judi.
11:09 am
redturtlehead
Wonders what enable thinks about hubbub...
11:10 am
nrkii
the canal trail in Lambertville is great... I put in a lot of miles on it this past spring/summer
11:10 am
redturtlehead
New Hope is cute though, i have been there once...
11:10 am
Judi
Conversely, is it ev4 a word?
11:10 am
JBV
taking a break for a while - see you later - happy new year, all!
11:10 am
nrkii
canal trail on New Hope side is not as well maintained, but still good
11:10 am
nrkii
I vote for hubbub
11:10 am
nrkii
see you JBV
11:11 am
redturtlehead
Happy New Ye** JBV.
11:11 am

Best to visit New Hope in a year when they haven't had very bad flooding.
11:12 am

NonoNanette
o = the mi7 words works
11:14 am
nrkii
of course, I'm in the middle of a cheat 2 weeks, so should go there today
11:17 am
Judi
Napoleon is flaky pastry with thin layers of custard, topped with a thin frosting. Bout a million calories, I'm sure.
11:17 am
redturtlehead
ooooh, Not a fan of custard though.
11:17 am
flosey
but sooo delicious Judi
11:17 am
unithorn
I'm not much of a custard fan, either, but that still sounds pretty tasty.
11:18 am
Judi
I don't like custard much either, but I LOVE these. Thank God it's not close to my house.
11:18 am
redturtlehead
that is good Judi, not good to consume regularly I would think, but sounds tasty.
11:19 am
Judi
I get one every time we go there. And then I eat lettuce leaves for the next three days.
11:19 am
nrkii
best hot chocolate ever is in Lambertville, at L'ville Trading Company... they have one variety with ancho chili in it and it's amazing
11:20 am
Judi
Well, I'm off for a bit. Have to go return a pair of sneakers that are too small. So much for mail order.
11:20 am
unithorn
Hmm. Not much of a hot chocolate fan...but then, not much of one for chocolate. Interesting, though.
11:20 am

see you Judi, Happy New Year
11:20 am
