So is your bank gonna hit you with a fee for HER bounced check? She owes you for THAT, too.

12:33 am

a bounced cheque here is $35.00 now;(

it's the re 6/21 7/32 before that, right after the 8
12:43 am

if you can take benedryl before drinking dee that will help fight the sulfites

we used to be able to get sulfite free wines from Lynnfred Winery in Chicao, but now they all seem to have them

12:54 am
jillibus
nonsense, metfan
12:54 am
pugmama763
it seems to give more taste with a lot less
12:55 am
jillibus
it may contain other taste-enhancing ingredients
12:55 am
MetFan
Just much better to use more pepper and other spices for flavor.
12:56 am
melonheadjujube
I'll pipe in - if you cut back salt gradually, you're less apt to miss the taste. The old standby lemon juice works if you can use it (I haven't been following the caht).
12:56 am
jillibus
right, melon :)
12:56 am

1:18 am
jillibus

1:18 am
lynxxx

1:19 am
rururocks
("they" are nuts jilli)
1:19 am
VolleymomDee

1:19 am
pugmama763

1:19 am
MetFan
"Smooth Operator" alert!!!!
1:19 am

Saffron Andree
1:20 am
VolleymomDee

1:20 am
Pinikula

1:20 am
VolleymomDee
pb pb pb crap
1:21 am
Andree
how funny, hugo's favourite is a pink pig he pinched from my grandaughter, he loves that toy
1:21 am
rururocks
There is a theme to the litter and I have to abide by the breeders request pini
1:21 am
VolleymomDee
ty for explanation... didn't realize that
1:21 am
Pinikula
gotcha ... not sure the breeder could have made it any harder!!! ;)
1:21 am
rururocks
The father would shove his head in the toy box and throws toys out of it until he found it
1:22 am
jillibus
ruru, can you choose the reg name or does the breeder claim that?
1:22 am
pugmama763
my boys had a laundry basket of toys & bones & would climb in to excavate for the desired thing
1:22 am
jillibus
does it have to start with P?
1:22 am
rururocks
I can choose the regular name.. dylan is what I have decided on
1:23 am
jillibus
I meant the registered name -- I know about Dylan ;)
1:23 am
rururocks
no it doesn't jilli.. has to relate to pink or pig
1:23 am
MetFan
Chino's favorite is his little blue cow
1:24 am
rururocks
and pink isn't very masculine for a dog
1:24 am
Christine
Any clues/hints for the u would be soooooo appreciated.
1:24 am
Pinikula
"Rosey Sows Little D"
1:24 am
rururocks
Chino is a great name
1:24 am
pugmama763

1:24 am
rururocks

1:24 am
VolleymomDee
ut 4/5... looks like state minus last consonant + plural

Pink is too masculine - there's a men's group called strong (brave?) enough to wear pink - they support breast cancer causes.
1:26 am
rururocks
oh that's good jilli
1:26 am
pugmama763
I love when theres no toy handy to greet with so he settles for a slipper or sneaker
1:26 am
Pinikula

just close your eyes, herin, and imagine yourself in the desert
3:55 am
dcseain
but, yes, avoiding sweets this time of year is a challenge
3:55 am
herinfernallady
and its too warm for the wood to get started
3:56 am
Brookie
my problem has been lack of exercise. i used to go for 3-4 mile walks all the time, but the weather hasn't cooperated. i guess i could take my walks at the mall...
3:57 am
dcseain
you could. the mall is rather boring for that, though.
3:57 am
Brookie
no, the people-watching is quite a hoot
3:57 am
dcseain
oh, good point
3:58 am
rubyfoo
doorbell, dog barking, too late! all the snowbirds keep dropping in. Sounds like a long haiku!!!
3:58 am
Brookie
so, how was your new years?
3:59 am
Brookie
lovely impromptu haiku, ruby
3:59 am
rubyfoo
quiet here except for the fireworks and firecrackers which make the dogs crazy
3:59 am
dcseain
i played the tradational New Year's Mah Jongg game :)
3:59 am
herinfernallady
Quiet I ran away to the hills
3:59 am
dcseain
always a good idea that, herin :)
4:00 am
herinfernallady
Yep. middle of no where it was great
4:00 am
Brookie
children fell asleep very early, so i celebrated by finally getting some sleep of my own
4:00 am
dcseain
i'm proud of myself for finding 3 of the 8s in my first 81 words :)
4:00 am
dcseain
there's a treat, brookie, if ever!
4:01 am
dcseain
i'm glad that fireworks/firecrackers are not part of new year around here.
4:01 am
Brookie
just got 1 of the 8s in my first 103 words. and apparently i'm fat :-)
4:01 am
herinfernallady
DC if yuou look at my FB pics that table of food is what we had NYE
4:01 am
rubyfoo
when I lived in Miami, people would shoot guns straight up into the air at midnight!
4:01 am
rubyfoo
every year some bystanders were shot!
4:02 am
Brookie
omg, ruby!
4:02 am
dcseain
my goodness, ruby.
4:03 am
dcseain
herein, i'll check them out
4:03 am
herinfernallady
ok
4:04 am
Brookie
if any of you would like to "friend" me on fb, search for me on my email address... bsgrubb at aol dot com
4:04 am
dcseain
wow. found the rest of the 8s. :)
4:05 am
Brookie
i'm very impressed, dc
4:05 am
rubyfoo
will do, brookie, this is a very friendly game! I've been playing lexulous blitz which is VERY competitive!!!
4:06 am
herinfernallady
I am just trying to find info on my Grand pop.
4:06 am
herinfernallady
Brookie i will add you
4:06 am
Brookie
just send me a note on fb too, so i know it's you!
4:07 am
Brookie
trying to find your grandpop on fb, or somewhere else?
4:08 am
herinfernallady
Brookie my Grand Pop Has a very long and interesting history with the military. Sadly he passed when I was a baby.
4:08 am
herinfernallady
And I have FB added you
4:08 am
dcseain
i noted my babble identity in my request
4:08 am
Brookie
thanks everyone!
4:09 am
Brookie
herin, sorry you couldn't really meet your grandpop. how are you gathering information about him? from your other relatives? online?
4:10 am
Brookie
will be back in a minute... going to check facebook.
4:10 am
herinfernallady
I am curious
4:11 am
rubyfoo
i just tried to "friend" brookie and got a weird message. I'll try again before lunch
4:12 am
Brookie
it worked, ruby... just accepted your friend request (along with herin's and dc's). how cool, thanks again!
4:12 am
dcseain
babble is the reason i have a FB account. I've coincidentally reconnected with a bunch of people from long ago in the process.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I thought it didn't but I'm pleased. I've only been on for 2 wks but find this very open and nice. Thank you all for being so accepting of my iuneptitude!!! lol
4:14 am
herinfernallady
It's really interesting but my nan is no longer here too
4:14 am
Brookie
ruby, i'm inept every single day, so occasional departures from perfection from everyone else are totally accepted in my book!
4:15 am
rubyfoo
not if I could just get the picture sorted out, I'd be happy, then everybody could see the "real" Ruby!
4:16 am
Brookie
i got a fb account to connect with former classmates before my hs reunion.
4:16 am
Brookie
you're right, dc, it's amazing who you can reconnect with... i recently found my best friend from elementary school!
4:16 am
dcseain
we organized our reunion through FB this time. Last time, we did it through our yahoo group.
4:17 am
Brookie
was fb in use 5 years ago? 10 years ago? (whenever your second-to-last reunion was?)
4:18 am
dcseain
FB did not exist 5 years ago when we did the last one
4:18 am
herinfernallady
Sadly all the ''story'' tellers are gone in my family
4:18 am
Brookie
sorry to hear that herin
4:18 am
rubyfoo
although I've found some old (old) friends on fb, I find that I have more in common with my new friends from games and that we quickly run out of things to talk about
4:19 am
dcseain
you'll cary on the stories in your time, too, herin
4:19 am
herinfernallady
well no one talks about stuff which should be recorded
4:19 am
herinfernallady
well no one talks about stuff which should be recorded
4:20 am
rubyfoo
before she died, I had my grandmother tell me about all the people in the old family photographs; it is a wonderful trove of info
4:20 am
herinfernallady
Just now I found out my Grandfather was in the Scots Royal Guard and that my Great Grandfather was one of the few that survived the landings at Gallipoli
4:21 am
Brookie
how did you uncover this information, herin?
4:21 am
dcseain
that's really wonderful, herin :)
4:21 am
rubyfoo
that's great stuff, herin
4:21 am
dcseain
20-20-20-24 hours to go-o-o-o, i want to be se7.36
4:22 am
Brookie
thanks for the clue, dc!
4:22 am
herinfernallady
And then the tough bugger marched from Wales to England in the Coal miners strike
4:23 am
dcseain
LOL, glad it was helpful
4:23 am
dcseain
one of my great-great-great-grandmothers left Wales to get away from the mines.
4:24 am
dcseain
oops great-great-grandmother rather
4:24 am
dcseain
got carried away ther
4:24 am
Haz1558
It was probably to get away from Tom Jones' great grandfather singing, but that's another story.
4:24 am
herinfernallady
DC my Nana did tell me some wonderful stories
4:24 am
rubyfoo
hello haz
4:25 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all.
4:25 am
dcseain
good morning, haz
4:25 am
Haz1558
I've been doing family history research and there's an amazing amount of info on the internet.
4:26 am
dcseain
there is indeed
4:26 am
Haz1558
Hello seain, ruby, herin.
4:26 am
herinfernallady
Haz there is but it doesn't help when Pop was in the Secret Services in England
4:27 am
Haz1558
During what period?
4:27 am
herinfernallady
WW2
4:27 am
herinfernallady
Royal Scots Guard also and he worked for the Home Office (hope that is right)
4:28 am
rubyfoo
lunch break, apero time, see you later
4:28 am
dcseain
njoy, ruby
4:28 am
herinfernallady
later Ruby
4:28 am
Haz1558
Bye ruby.
4:29 am
herinfernallady
Haz does that make sense? I think we have to wait until the files are opened
4:30 am
Haz1558
Secret stuff usually stays secret. The files may never be opened. If you're using nationalarchives.gov.uk and if you have his service numbers, you should be able to get as much as they're prepared to give you.
4:30 am
Haz1558
That generation took the 'Secret' part very seriously.
4:31 am
dcseain
very muchso, even here, haz.
4:31 am
Flask1
Good morning all.....
4:32 am
dcseain
good morning, flask
4:32 am
herinfernallady
I just have his name and thank you for that
4:32 am
Haz1558
We only discovered that a friend's great aunt had probably served in Bletchley Park during the war when she became demented and started to look back. No-one had any clue, we knew she had been in WRAF but that was as far as it went.
4:33 am
Haz1558
It'll be easier, herin, if you can get his service number - WW1 medals had service numbers on them, not sure about WW2.
4:33 am
Haz1558
Good morning, Flask.
4:34 am
herinfernallady
Thank you Haz. We don't have any of his meddles
4:34 am
herinfernallady
Was Bletchley Park the decoders?
4:34 am
Haz1558
The other way of making contact, might be to write to his regiment to see what they might have on him.
4:34 am
Haz1558
Yes, as featured in Enigma. She wouldn't have been decoding, but she would have been working in the background supporting the whole enterprise.
4:35 am
dcseain
and the support workers do more than they ever get credit for in many an effort, not least in time of war
4:36 am
Haz1558
Absolutely, it's a team effort.
4:36 am
herinfernallady
I just would love to see photos of him. My Aunt has a pic of the ship that my GGrandfather was on
4:37 am
Haz1558
Then the regiment might be the best bet, they may well have records and photographs.
4:37 am
mom2han8
I often think it must have been hard for these women after the war to just give it all up and get married and have families.
4:38 am
herinfernallady
That is what I am trying to find out Haz. THank you for the website. Hi Mom
4:38 am
Haz1558
All the best for the search, herin.
4:38 am
mom2han8
Hi all... sorry, just jumped into the chog.
4:40 am
Haz1558
Hello, mom. I imagine that feelings were mixed. The war would have been a hard slog, certainly after the war in Britain, it was no picnic either with rationing continuing etc.
4:40 am
dcseain
hello, mom. It was likely harder for some than others. some number were likely relieved to be able to get back to the pre-war routine, insofar as postbellum resumble antebellum
4:40 am
herinfernallady
I do also have a very rare book of the Bombing of London published in the time of WW2
4:41 am
mom2han8
Of course.. but I would imagine that having had opportunity and responsibility and then... *poof* "here's your hat"... it happened here with the factory jobs.
4:42 am
dcseain
excellent point, mom
4:42 am
Haz1558
But don't forget that a lot of war work was heavy, dirty and mundane, not necessarily exciting. Plus many women had to keep house as well, maybe it was nice to have one less struggle?
4:42 am
herinfernallady
Haz i think i will have to just admit that finding anything on him is a lost cause.
4:43 am
herinfernallady
My b.fs Grandma was a gun loader in London and she is tiny
4:43 am
mom2han8
True Haz... I'm sure there were some women who were happy to get back to their prewar lives, others maybe not so much.
4:43 am
Haz1558
herin, I think you'll be able to find at least the bare bones, and if nothing else, you'll be able to corroborate dates etc. Try all the resources before giving up but don't expect too much, if that makes sense.
4:44 am
Haz1558
I agree, mom, I think people will have had different reactions.
4:45 am
herinfernallady
Yes it makes sense
4:45 am
dcseain
herein of the Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) have a temple in your vicinity, most have a genealogy center attached that provide remarkable resources for free
4:46 am
Haz1558
And time for me to go - shopping to do. I don't want to go, but people will keep eating! Bye for now.
4:46 am
dcseain
oh, my. it's nearly 6! I should try to sleep, i suppose. Be well, haz
4:46 am
herinfernallady
Thank you DC
4:46 am
mom2han8
In some industries it did not matter... my grandmother was a nurse. She trained nurses going off to war and continued training nurses throughout her life, but nursing, back then, was a predominantly "female" field. So, for her, she got an opportunity to teach and was able to continue doing it. Not the same story for most female workers during the war.
4:46 am
herinfernallady
Bye and Thank you haz. BRB I have to go somewhere for a min
4:46 am
Haz1558
Bye! (www.familysearch.org for the Mormon records online) *gone*
4:47 am
mom2han8
OMG dc... you are going off to bed and I am going off to work, LOL.
4:52 am
dcseain
well, i went out about 17 and got home about 4
4:53 am
mom2han8
when then you need some sleep.

8:03 am
oodleberry
hold on
8:05 am
oodleberry
well I was told that canada will pay ... they take it from the states but I guess the process is long eh?
8:05 am
crosshair
lol,if your doing alternate payment methods it can take long indeed
8:05 am
lawyer-1
long? that's an understatement. I started the process in Feb.
8:06 am
crosshair
last form i saw was year and a half...cash
8:06 am
flosey
what is OASDI?
8:06 am
lawyer-1
Getting Canada Pension is easy, but OASDI is a PITA
8:06 am
kje
asks the canadian - lol
8:07 am
Anniebrook
Is that disability insurance?
8:07 am
lawyer-1
In Canada there are two government plans similar to US Social Security
8:07 am
crosshair
looks almost like aid to disabled person form
8:07 am
oodleberry
well if it takes long for one government to do something that doesn't surprise me that it will take twice as long when two governments are involved PLUS a thuird when dealing with Québec
8:07 am
lawyer-1
The one that pays the most is the easiest to get
8:07 am
Anniebrook
yes, I thought so too crossy
8:08 am
crosshair
quebec??? lol all bets are off,it could circulate for 2 years
8:08 am
lawyer-1
Social Security can also be for either old age or disability
8:08 am
crosshair
indeed lawyer,my wife collects disability

8:37 am
Scrabbler
Ruby, you live in France? How did you end up there?
8:37 am
kje
because I am a hospitalist, by JACHO rules, we cannot write trade names, it is all generic, so I am starting to not really think in trade names anymore
8:37 am
bojazz
kje - what does texas mean?
8:37 am
rubyfoo
retired here, always loved it and it was affordable
8:37 am
kje
which sucks, since generic names are much longer and harder to spell - LOL

Over the last several years I have made myself switch to drug names in both notes and with parents, and I teach students, residents, nurses to do the same. Also with imms--old records have TriHibit, TriPedia, etc and no one knows what those are.
8:38 am
oodleberry
it is a cabin for officers on a boat
8:39 am
Scrabbler
Must be gorgeous, Ruby!
8:39 am
kje
have heard of tripedia, but have never heard the word trihibit
8:39 am

But it is easier to use Pulmicort with parents than budesonide
8:40 am
bojazz
interesting
8:40 am
rubyfoo
wonderful here and very nice people in our little village
8:40 am
Scrabbler
With the combo vaccines it is better to write down the components than the trade name
8:41 am
Scrabbler
Ruby is making me long for retirement rather than using trade names of drugs
8:42 am

9:59 am
oodleberry
oh probably from there then ata
9:59 am
Atalante

10:00 am

the yellow potato tastes like the white potato

thanx phae....and Happy new year to you..
10:00 am
oodleberry
plural to re semenate
10:00 am
Atalante
lol the first link I see: "Yellow-fleshed potatoes are common in Europe and South America. In fact, yellow flesh potatoes are actually considered the norm in most countries outside North America, so naturally, immigrants to North America were accustomed to and preferred potatoes with yellow flesh."
10:00 am
hego
sit down again bichon
10:00 am
phaeton
yw flask..happy new year to you too, and everyone herer
10:00 am
Nef
Ata, here in the US, we have Idaho potaoes (for baking) and red potatoes (for boiling) and the gold potatoes are kind of in between. The Yukon golds can be baked and they almost have a buttery taste, I don't use much butter on them at all. Then there are purple potatoes, finger potatoes, etc
10:01 am
bichon
ty hego for the re 8
10:01 am
Atalante
I think the Yukon Golds are almost like our Jersey Royals, a lot of our potatoes are yellow-y and yummy
10:01 am
oodleberry
but when I was in france I never saw a yellow potato ata
10:01 am
hego
Potatos are native to the Western hemisphere
10:01 am
welki
hey! i loved baked reds, nef! and fries, too!
10:02 am
hego
In Italy, they're white fleshed
10:02 am
Atalante
in Italy, they have all sorts
10:02 am
oodleberry
only good thing here in quebec city is the food... it is the only thing I do well... and that is eat...
10:03 am
hego
Great talent Oodle.
10:03 am
Atalante
definitely
10:03 am
Nef
so do I welki. However, when you eat out you only get russets or idaho potaoes when you order baked. There's a big difference in the starch content of the different varieties
10:03 am
oodleberry
but but but hego didn't you know that the italian potatoes are from which they get pasta you silly girl :D
10:03 am
flosey
I love baked Idahos
10:03 am
welki
ohhh, here, it's common to be served a rough mash of red potatoes with herbs
10:04 am
Atalante
I love baked Estimas
10:04 am
welki
i jumped the gun .. yep, whites for baked if eating out)
10:04 am
flosey
that's a new name to me Ata
10:04 am
Atalante
but I do live in the middle of a potato growing region, so I can get about 20 vareties in the local farm shops!
10:04 am
hego
I've been to cooking tours in Italy and I swear the potatos we used were white to make the gnocchi.
10:05 am
Atalante
Estimas are local Kent potatoes, the best best for baking cos they don't need even a smidgen of butter
10:05 am
phaeton
i find idaho potatoes very dry to the taste
10:05 am
Atalante
well yes, but they don't just have gnocchi :P if you have had the little fried potato balls etc, those can be made from anything
10:05 am
oodleberry
they are called pasta potatoes... that's where all pasta is from in Italy.... *giggles*
10:05 am
flosey
wow Ata, would love to try them! I smother my baked potatoes with butter and sour cream!
10:05 am
Nef
I usually buy Yukon Golds these days, I like the flavor better than the russets. If there aren't any Gold potaotes, then I get the red potatoes. I love baby red potatoes in a white sauce.
10:06 am
Atalante
now I really want gnocchi!
10:06 am
bichon
I didn't know that potatos could bring up so much chat
10:06 am
bichon
I am diabetic and don't eat them much [sadly]
10:06 am
welki
<-- is not a potato afficianado, will eat any potato, so watch yer spuds!
10:06 am
hego
Stop it Oodle, most pasta is made from wheat.
10:06 am
flosey
hubby grows the reds
10:06 am
Atalante
you'd love them, Flosey! It was an absolute eye-opener for me. I'd never managed baked potatoes without lashings of butter before, these just taste like they have butter already in them. Utterly wonderful
10:06 am
welki
(but will put yukon golds on the shopping list once i'm done with the reds i have)
10:07 am
Nef
bichon, you can have them, just watch your carbs when you do
10:07 am
oodleberry
nu uh
10:07 am
hego
I'll make you some, Ata
10:07 am
Atalante

10:08 am

Nef, potatoes are really high in carbs. I eat for whole carbs than a potato has
10:08 am
oodleberry
hego??? check to see if your leg is still attached, dear
10:08 am
Atalante
fresh pasta is the *best*
10:08 am
bichon
*whole grains
10:08 am
Nef
you should try the fingerlings too. And the purple ones (but purple mashed potatoes can be strange -- and expensive!)
10:09 am
oodleberry
well I cannot because I am allergic to wheat SO THERE
10:09 am
hego
What? how did my leg get dettatched
10:09 am
oodleberry
but maybe i will try making my own pasta... I think it is easy enough eh?
10:09 am

10:22 am
welki
don't you love it when that happens? that's the v8 moment, when you bonk yourself on the head for trying to figure out a way to avoid going :)
10:23 am
jmcnrick
but the host had been clearing out her mother's estate and we got to look at tatting and crochet and old vases
10:23 am
Nef
did they tone it down last night or discuss other topics?
10:23 am
welki
all folks would find here is dust bunnies
10:23 am
jmcnrick
well one of them went off about how climate change was a right wing conspiracy
10:24 am
jmcnrick
i told him that sarah palin would be proud of him
10:24 am

ohhh, you walked the tightrope! LOL
10:25 am

We saw "Avatar" yesterday and loved it.
10:25 am

10:25 am

10:25 am

10:26 am
jmcnrick
we are all pretty toothless around each other
10:26 am
jmcnrick
most of us have either work in the same office or represented each other in matters or were co-counsel
10:26 am
jmcnrick
it was fun -- i got home much later than usual
10:26 am

10:28 am

10:29 am

Hello Judi! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
10:29 am
jmcnrick

10:29 am
jmcnrick
bye welkie
10:29 am
Minveryork
I am well jmcnrick. I woke up to even more snow this morning.Procrastinating about shoveling all the snow
10:30 am
Judi
Very windy and cold here today. New Year blowing in like a lion.
10:30 am
jmcnrick
you can only put off shoveling snow for so long or it is likely to get worse before it gets better
10:30 am
jmcnrick
really windy here too -- they have a wind advisory going
10:31 am
jmcnrick
although i must admit being advised that there is lots of wind seems kinda silly
10:31 am
welki
sheesh ... throwing this into chat for a decision. i need to cook today, i need some real food and haven't been able to do much of anything for the last few days (sprained ankle). lamb chops or scallops?
10:32 am
Nef
so true, jmc. We had a bad storm over Christmas, and my dtr. hasn't shovelled out her convertible yet. Then it rained and snowed and froze even more. She'd going to have a hard time digging it out this next week. (she's been using my car while I recuperate)
10:32 am
welki
because heaven forbid someone makes a decision around here! LOL
10:32 am
jmcnrick
scallops cook faster but with pork chops you can sit down inbetween
10:32 am
Judi
Hmmm. Lamb chops might be less fussy, Welki.
10:32 am
jmcnrick
sorry lamp chops
10:32 am
Gail
Order pizza.
10:32 am
Nef
Lamb Chops would be easiest
10:32 am
jmcnrick
sorry your ankle was hurt so badly
10:32 am
jmcnrick
pizza!!!!
10:33 am
jmcnrick
hi gail sorry to have been so dense in FB
10:33 am
Judi
Brilliant, Gail!
10:33 am
welki
ok, lamb chops it is (can't get real pizza here in calgary ... real pizza = real food, not this stuff they pass off as pizza here)
10:33 am
welki
thanks, kids!
10:33 am
Gail
Take it from somebody who's been in a cast/boot since August. Order takeout. How about Chinese?
10:33 am
jmcnrick
yw welki
10:34 am
Nef
How'd you sprain your ankle, welki?
10:34 am
oodleberry
if I weren't allergic to wheat I would choose pizza
10:34 am
Minveryork
Hello Gail! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
10:34 am
Gail
I am doing great. Getting a late start today.
10:34 am
jmcnrick
goodness gail! hope it comes off soon
10:34 am
jmcnrick

10:34 am
oodleberry
what is the difference tween real and fake pizza?
10:34 am
Gail
A couple more months should do it.
10:35 am
Minveryork
I see in your profile that you are from Vermont. Had Christmas up in Vermont. I was there for four days.
10:35 am
oodleberry
as for fake pizza many parts are edible
10:35 am
Gail
Oh, good. We have a little snow to make it white.
10:35 am
phaeton
Min...who are you talking to?
10:36 am
Minveryork
Hi phaeton! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
10:36 am
Judi
Hey, oodle. I found a realy good gluten free pizza crust. It's called "Against the Grain". In the frozen section.
10:37 am
phaeton
Happy New Year Minver and Gail!
10:37 am
oodleberry
and it doesn,t cook up like a cracker that you can't bite into?
10:37 am
hurshy
mmm, christmas in vermont! if only one could just have christmas wherever one liked...
10:37 am
Judi
No. It's delicious. Nice and chewy.
10:38 am
Minveryork
Thanks phaeton. Happy New Year to you too. I hope 2020 brings you a year of much happiness & success.
10:38 am
oodleberry
I have also found frozen gluten free pizza... unfortunately... not the same and I am in canada... but I will look for the brand nam... 'Against the grain' you say?
10:38 am
phaeton
me too Min, but we have to get thru 2010 first :)
10:38 am
hurshy
have a good year, phae, you just have to wait 10 bad ones first... sounds almost biblical
10:39 am
oodleberry
actually if it doesn't have any thing on it that is in french I doubt it would be in stores here
10:39 am
Minveryork
3 phantom words for me are dioxide,exit and studies
10:39 am
Nef
LOL!! I agree with hurshy!
10:39 am

10:39 am
Judi
Yes. The three cheese is the best. Ingredients are: Tapioca starch, milk, eggs, canola oil, cheddar cheese, mozzarella and parmesan. That's it!
10:40 am
hurshy
and why isn't doody a word?
10:40 am
Judi
Made in Brattleboro Vermont by Against the Grain Gourmet.
10:40 am
oodleberry
kewel
10:40 am
Gail
Against the Grain products are very good.
10:40 am
oodleberry
i looked it up and it just might be here cause it is from england
10:41 am
Judi
I suppose all the fattening cheese is what really makes it good.
10:41 am
Gail
There are Oods in the grid - all you Dr. Who fans...
10:41 am
hurshy
noticed that first thing!
10:41 am
bichon
fat always makes me feel more contented and full. I usually have hot cereal in the AM with "Smart Balance" in it
10:42 am
Gail
Of course you did.
10:42 am
hurshy
ok, the food talk needs to stop until i go to the grocery store. i'm in the back-from-travelling-yesterday empty-kitchen phase.
10:44 am
hurshy
the ordering tone of that post was in jest, btw...
10:45 am
Atalante
I saw the Oods too :)
10:45 am
Judi
Cranky. You should have something to eat, Hurshy. :-)
10:46 am
Atalante
I don't know if it's the same type, but we get a gluten-free pizza base here that's seriously nicer than most gluten-full ones
10:46 am
oodleberry
that's what sucks being in quebec ... you can't find half the products that the rest of canada can easily find
10:46 am
Judi
Pizza crust made with rice flour alone just doesn't cut it.
10:47 am
Atalante
next time I go shopping, I'll have a look for you Oodle
10:47 am
oodleberry
but inthe rest of canada they don't have cheese curds which is day old cheese
10:48 am
BabbleRabble
so Quebec is the whey to curds
10:49 am
Judi
There's always mail order, Oodle. They still have pony express and dog sled delivery in Quebec, eh?
10:49 am
oodleberry
ty ata that is nice of you
10:49 am
oodleberry
nope I think it is by foot
10:50 am
oodleberry
brb going to call mom
10:56 am
hurshy
i wonder what made that notch in the tree?
10:56 am
hurshy
it's clearly an axcut.
10:56 am
Atalante
and what do you call a pretty ax?
10:57 am
Atalante
a cu4ax!
10:57 am
Atalante
but yours works too
10:58 am
hurshy
as long as they don't institute a cu4 tax
10:59 am
Atalante
I should hope not!
10:59 am
Atalante
the Ood would have to pay
10:59 am
hurshy
lol, no they wouldn't!
10:59 am
hurshy
i love them DESPITE their looks!
11:00 am
Atalante
they are great
11:00 am
Haz1558
But they're aliens.
11:00 am
Atalante
so youre going to see part 2 today?
11:00 am
Atalante
they are indeed!
11:00 am
Haz1558
It says so in Google.
11:01 am
Atalante
looooool
11:01 am
Atalante
they sing
11:01 am
hurshy
*detecting some xenophobia from haz's direction*
11:01 am
Atalante
have tissues nearby. it's really quite heartrending
11:02 am
Atalante
she's Irish, what do you expect?
11:02 am
Haz1558
No xenophobia at all. They're aliens in the most non-xenophobic sense of the word.
11:02 am
zoe_girl
cu 7 please, and how is everyone today?
11:02 am
Atalante
did you see a pic of the,?
11:02 am
hurshy
haz, your comment began with a "but". that sounded xenophobic to me .
11:03 am
Haz1558
cu7 - not a description to be attacned to the Ood - Shirley Temple, yes, Ood no.
11:03 am
Haz1558
But I start every sentence with but, so I do.
11:03 am
Atalante
but they are!! LOL
11:04 am
hurshy
i see 2 sentences at 11:02 that belie this claim.
11:04 am
Haz1558
I haven't the faintest idea what they look like but it said something about their brains being on display. That can't be a good look.
11:05 am
Gail
I think the Oods are cu4/6
11:05 am
zoe_girl
thanks haz
11:05 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, zoe.
11:05 am
Nef
cu7 is an extenion of the cu5 above it; a sort of endearing term
11:06 am
Haz1558
But, sure, begorrah I'll need to see a picture of these Ood to know what they look like.
11:06 am
hurshy
you're not gonna like it, haz
11:06 am
Haz1558
They're disgusting!
11:06 am
Gail
But you need to check out the BBC website.
11:07 am
Haz1558
I'd seen them on trailers but never known what they were called. Bring back Daleks.
11:07 am
Atalante
<- refresh. Can you tell the difference between an Ood and David Tennant, Haz?
11:08 am
Haz1558
That's easy. He looks normal, though surprised.
11:08 am
hurshy
mmm, i had the loveliest david tennant dream earlier this week...
11:08 am
Gail
Bring back the Cybermen. They really are scary! I love how funny they were in the really old episods. All tin foil and paper towel rolls.
11:08 am
Atalante
yes, the Ood looks very pretty with a pink hula thingy
11:08 am
hurshy
if my dream is any indication, he is a VERY good kisser.
11:09 am
Judi
I can't see the Ood's brain, but it looks like there's spaghetti hanging out his nose.
11:09 am
Gail
Lucky Hurshy. Oooh, I am jealous. All I seem to dream about is my ex. Ick.
11:09 am
Atalante
the old monsters were just hilarious. and very scary
11:09 am
rururocks
who is ood?
11:09 am
hurshy
here we go again
11:10 am
Haz1558
The Oods are odd.
11:10 am
Gail
The Daleks were always running into the walls. On one episode they had to set one back upright and then just went on with the show.
11:10 am
Atalante
I've been watching an anime series and one of the main charries in it is called Ruru
11:11 am
rururocks
I have ruru copyrighted
11:11 am

better talk to Square Enix then! :P
11:11 am

11:13 am

11:15 am

I thought they were talking about you with spaghetti hanging out your nose.. I didn't get it

Hahahahahaha.

oh nice image there ruru
11:16 am
Judi
Oc5 & 6, please?
11:16 am
rururocks
I would have thought for sure that you were a capellini kind of guy..
11:17 am
hurshy
group of 8 and pl
11:17 am
Haz1558
That's a BIG cone.
11:17 am
rururocks
oc + muffies boyfriend
11:17 am
Atalante
that's the XL cone that evil husband went and got her!!
11:17 am
Gail
Ooops, wrong o words. sorry. Need more coffee.
11:18 am
rururocks
It would have used up too much tinsel ata
11:18 am
Judi
I thought Muffie's boyfriend was Biff.
11:18 am
rururocks
Biff turned out to be gay and she switched to Tad
11:19 am
Atalante
it's been banished to the garage now
11:19 am
rururocks
(waiting for a larger dog I guess)
11:19 am
Judi
So, does anyone else have a coherent clue for the oc5 & 6?
11:19 am
Atalante
so what sort of cocker did you have, Gail?
11:19 am
hurshy
group of 8 and pl
11:20 am
rururocks
add muffy's boyfriend (besides Biff) to oc
11:20 am
Haz1558
oc5 - oc plus the early stage of a frog. And plural.
11:20 am
rururocks
would that be an octet?
11:21 am
oodleberry
ata why the cone... did she have some surgery or something and don't want her licking ro scratching herself??
11:21 am
hurshy
sometimes they end with et and sometimes they end with something else
11:21 am
Atalante
she had an infected tail
11:21 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Judi. I win the prize for coherent clue.
11:21 am
rururocks
you need to get neo-predef for her
11:21 am
Deeha
This dictionary allowes you some - what I consider - quite offensive words - like yi4/7 and yet it wouldnt allow me negro - which I find strange????
11:22 am
Haz1558
Negro is capitalised, Deeha.
11:22 am
Atalante
neo-predef?
11:22 am
rururocks
because black people kvetch more than jewish people
11:22 am
hurshy
it never excludes based on offensiveness. whatever reasons things are excluded are either grammatical or un-figure-out-able
11:22 am
rururocks
It is for hot spots and irritated skin.. it works like a charm.. you can buy it at dog shows or a vet
11:24 am
Atalante
she's got generally very good skin. we think she just got her "tail" caught on something and no-one noticed until infection had set i properly
11:24 am
Deeha
I thinjk perhaps rururocks is pretty close!! I suppose now I think about it Negro is capitalised -en masse tho' ????!!!¬
11:24 am
Atalante
*random* "hot spots" is something I've never heard a non-american say about dogs
11:24 am
rururocks
yeah.. ata... it could be almost anything.. haz's husband would know
11:24 am
Judi
Isn't "negro" spanish for black? There is a spanish farewell in today's grid.
11:25 am
Haz1558
Well, for instance, it would accept negroid if it occurred in the puzzle.
11:25 am
hurshy
and it accepts ni6.
11:25 am
hurshy
and it accepts some spanish and french words but obviously not all.
11:25 am
rururocks
I tried sextoid but that didn't work
11:25 am
Atalante
ours is not to reason why
11:26 am
Haz1558
Ours is but to grumble.
11:26 am
rururocks
it also accepts negroni
11:27 am
Deeha
How true - and how English Haz see I used a ca[ital!!
11:27 am

Black pasta??

11:27 am
Atalante
it's yummy
11:28 am
Haz1558
The Oods look as though they could bleed squid ink.
11:28 am
rururocks
Babbo serves it in NYC.. really delicious
11:28 am
Judi
I like squid, but not the ink. Yeech.
11:29 am

11:33 am
hurshy

11:34 am
Judi
I need a hint for the ae7.
11:34 am
Nef
ae4 + I came back and ***down to play again
11:34 am
sciencegeek
ae 7 - ae4 plus not to stand
11:34 am
hurshy
if you are going out for the evening, and you don't want to leave your plane, you might find someone to stay with it. after which he/she could say that he/she had ae7.
11:34 am

hints for the ex's?
11:35 am
hurshy
ex6 beauties from foreign lands
11:36 am
sciencegeek
beauties?
11:36 am
hurshy
and if there's another one, then that's my last e :)
11:36 am
hurshy
that's a phrase altogether, not a ex6 followed by definition
11:36 am
Judi
There are two ex6
11:37 am

ex6 is an adj

11:38 am

11:39 am
JBV
start with the Paul Newman film, then ** vey with a different vowel
11:40 am
hurshy
is there more than one of any of the following: a7, c7, d7, or t7 ?
11:40 am
JBV
no it's a greek plural, like hoi polloi (the many)
11:41 am

The da 4/5 is January 3, 1010.Here's my second clue paragraph for the year. Spent Christmas in Vermont with my family. I never like the long ri 4/5 up there, but it is worth it in the end. Niece and nephew were so cu 4/6 with their exci4/5ment for Santa to come with his 8 reinde4/5. Now that the holidays are over I must go on a di 4/5. Pretty soon I won't be able to fit through the do4/5. As much as I ad 5/12 X-Mas, I am glad it is over. I did get a do 4/5 of reality today when hubby reminded me I have work in two days. It will be very hard for me to ri4/4 early in the morning and ea 4/4 back into the swing of things on Monday. I have an id 4/5 to call in sick on Monday.I would not give one io4/4 what my boss would think of that.But sometimes my id5/12 are not so good&I do the right thing instead. Well I have sa 4/5 all that I wanted to say at this time. I hope some of you got some cu 4/6.

Miss Bea Bunny just threw her salad pan and is now staring at me. Message = give me my evening salad NOW, or else. So, time to make salads for the bunnies. BBS. Good for you, Pini--less pain now.
4:12 pm
Atalante
I should go too.
4:12 pm
Pinikula
you know, it's one thing to have a number for the words you still need to find (i.e., 82 for me); however, it's another when you look at the list and see how many (i.e., a bazillion!)
4:12 pm
Atalante
it's late and I'm tired and I just love your bunnies, scrab!
4:12 pm
Nef
I thought the grid was fun for the first 130-150; then I had to list. the last 40 or so were like pulling teeth since I'd *thought* I'd already entered them!
4:12 pm
oodleberry
i was thinking potatoes take so long in the micro wave then I just remembered telling my mother in 1974 to buy a microwave they only take five minutes as opposed to an hour DUH
4:12 pm
Scrabbler
Bunnies have personalities, believe it or not
4:13 pm
Atalante
they really do, and I would never have known that without you

No thanks Nef. Check on us later?
4:44 pm

I hate the last 2--Word Builder and HoneyComb
4:47 pm
Nef
sg, the yi and yo are identical except for the vowel
4:47 pm
nrkii
10 different word puzzles every day
4:48 pm
Nef
anyone else need clues?
4:48 pm
nrkii
yeah, those last 2 are not-timed for a reason!
4:48 pm
jmcnrick
what kind of puzzles? crosswords?
4:49 pm
Nef
okay, bye for now! <poof!>
4:49 pm
Scrabbler
*I just heard myself do Curly (Stooge) sound when a word didn't work* LOL
4:49 pm
nrkii
Not crosswords, they're all a takeoff on some other game... there's one that's like hangman, but harder; there's one that's like scrabble, but you can make backwards words too, there are a few that are quotes and you have to rearrange letters to find them... etc.
4:49 pm
jmcnrick
lol scrabs
4:50 pm
jmcnrick
sounds interesting nrkii
4:50 pm
Scrabbler
I watched the Three Stooges marathon on New year's Eve--hilarious!
4:50 pm
nrkii
there are a handful of babblers who also do the www.quote-puzzler.com puzzles every day
4:50 pm
nrkii
it's a subscription site
4:51 pm
nrkii
Stidmama, Ciocia Judy, Featherbee, FranMag, Muse, me, and now Scrabbler... plus I'm sure others I'm forgetting
4:51 pm

ah well too broke to make the jump this week -- maybe later
4:51 pm

4:51 pm

Today, N, I figured out the In & Out answer when I was on the out side and I clicked on letters that were IN...Dopey Scrabbler!
4:51 pm

anyone heard of Dr. Kaboom?

Kaplan the Magne
Hello all
4:52 pm

Scrabbler, I do that too.
4:52 pm
oodleberry
i have 13 000 d words left woooohooooooooo yahooeeeee
4:52 pm
Scrabbler
hi kaplan
4:52 pm
nrkii
Key thing on In & Out is to type in the answer in the box below as soon as you get it
4:52 pm
nrkii
Don't keep clicking on letters, because every click costs you points
4:52 pm
Scrabbler
And the concept of creating palindromes is one I must focus on
4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have to do 52 more words, but only have a half hour- so it will be one of those no-fireworks days
4:53 pm
sciencegeek
your turn je
4:53 pm
nrkii
kaiak, shtik, and knar are my favorite palindromes on Word Builder and Honeycomb
4:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What's new? Boston has a pretty snow, not too much car scraping
4:54 pm
nrkii
alif is another favorite
4:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
how is knar a palindrome?
4:54 pm
nrkii
no snow in Jersey, just a lot of WIND
4:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I just got here, may be missing some crucial info
4:54 pm
oodleberry
click on letters where... here or at that other word pule site nrkii
4:55 pm
nrkii
sorry, not a palindrome in the true sense of the word
4:55 pm
Scrabbler
I must remember those, n
4:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What other sense of palindrome is there?
4:55 pm
nrkii
in the games Scrabbler and I are talking about, two allow you to make words that work both ways for double points
4:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Ohhhh.
4:55 pm
nrkii
someone at some point starting calling that the semordnilap mode, as a joke
4:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have to go check lickety
4:56 pm
oodleberry
oh ok ty
4:56 pm
nrkii
oodle, on the other site, I meant
4:56 pm
oodleberry
yes I got that
4:56 pm
Scrabbler
The games are maddening yet addictive. My BP must be in the danger zone when I am playing.
4:57 pm
nrkii
they are a lot of fun.. have to give credit to the puzzle-maker, who I think has been a babbler in the past too
4:57 pm
nrkii
he was one of our Dougs at one point
4:58 pm

5:00 pm
stidgmere
Yes, I make crepes.
5:00 pm
oodleberry
i make buckwheat crepes
5:01 pm
Scrabbler
There are a re6/21 + re7/32 in between
5:01 pm
Scrabbler
Probably, Oodle--cooking denatures proteins
5:01 pm
oodleberry
because I am allergic to wheat
5:01 pm
nrkii
those would be the 2 re's I'm missing :)
5:01 pm
Pinikula
<-- would love a simple crepe recipe for 1 -- if anyone has one?
5:01 pm
oodleberry
and the antioxidant is in the proteins?
5:01 pm
Scrabbler
<---would love to have a personal chef

5:02 pm
oodleberry
i will send it to you on FB
5:02 pm
Scrabbler
I suspect so, Oodle. Check out Dr Andrew Weil's site for reliable info
5:03 pm
Scrabbler
I have those, bo, but don't see a re6 in between
5:03 pm
Scrabbler

5:23 pm
oodleberry

5:23 pm
redturtlehead

5:24 pm
sprite
hehehe of course. But how fast is it back to humane temps?
5:24 pm
nrkii
I'm actually quite happy, because this year I bought one of those "silly" Edenpure heaters, and it's saving me a ton of money on heat!!!
5:24 pm
redturtlehead
oodle is right about hats....very helpful...
5:24 pm
jmcnrick
so list red -- it's suppose to be fun
5:24 pm

as a good girl, nrkii, you let hot nights take precedence...
5:25 pm

oodle, how many does your recipe make? can I divide it in 1/2?
5:25 pm
redturtlehead

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

It's an electric heater that supposedly only uses the power of a coffee maker, and it's completely safe -- won't set stuff on fire and burn your house down, your pets can sleep on top of it, etc
5:26 pm
BabbleRabble
whenever it is cold inside, I stand outside, and feel warmer when I go back in ...

5:27 pm
Pinikula
sounds like a nifty little device, nrkii ;)
5:27 pm
nrkii
well, I'm also being better this year about shutting doors and closing off rooms, so some of the saving is just better habits
5:28 pm
nrkii
but I used about 60% the gas this year that I did last year in December, and the temperature was basically the same
5:28 pm
nrkii
bye Kaplan!
5:28 pm

5:29 pm

I like it cold!
5:29 pm
nrkii
jmc, when I was working, I would just turn it down when I left, and turn it back up when I came home... the house gets warm quickly
5:29 pm
jmcnrick

5:29 pm

admitting that its supposed to get down to 30 tonight and I am not so thrilled about it.
5:31 pm
jmcnrick
it takes about a 1/2 hour for my radiators to warm my house
5:31 pm
nrkii
Anyway, the edenpure heater is good because I can heat my bedroom at night and let the rest of the house get cold. Only problem is how cold the hallway is when I step out in the morning.... probably gets down to 50.
5:31 pm
jmcnrick
it is 21 already tonight here
5:31 pm
nrkii
jmc, probably about the same here
