so is the al8 common?
12:55 am
melonheadjujube
I'm losing it.
12:56 am

ac8 is plural -- common word for candle lighters in church

12:57 am

12:58 am
melonheadjujube
I have the Freudian an7, is there another, or does the an8 grow out of it?
12:58 am
melonheadjujube
the la is leaving a hole. . .
12:58 am
gremlinn
an8 is a plural an7
12:59 am
tempo
not the freudian an7 - a different one
12:59 am
melonheadjujube
my an7 is a verb and uses the S anyway!
12:59 am
gremlinn
it's a different an7 (there are three)
1:00 am
melonheadjujube
that's what I was wondering. So, should I know this an7/8?
1:00 am
rururocks
it is an iris of some kind jilli.. we have them in the yard
1:00 am

maybe not
1:01 am

2:04 am
westford

2:04 am
flosey
wouldn't have helped west, not familiar with the word at all
2:05 am
flosey
oh, they now use girls?
2:06 am
flosey
things are looking up
2:08 am
flosey
hmmm, I presume that is the anglican church? wonder if the catholic church uses girls?
2:09 am
westford
I was talking about the catholic church
2:09 am
flosey
wow, that does surprise me
2:09 am
jillibus
I don't remember altar boys or girls in the Anglican church
2:10 am
jillibus
but then I'm not very churchy
2:10 am
flosey
oh, sorry jilli, that was just an assumption
2:11 am
flosey
well, neither am I, left around 23 or so
2:11 am
westford
I believe most things are the same though
2:12 am
jillibus
depends on the degree -- high church or low church, west
2:12 am
joshuavorbis
halfway
2:12 am
westford
I don't know probably high
2:12 am
jillibus
wtg josh
2:12 am
flosey
wow josh, you're really chugging along
2:13 am
jillibus
the churches I went to were low
2:13 am
flosey
I should probably go to bed, this might look better in the morning
2:14 am
westford
I hope so flosey
2:14 am
jillibus
I agree, flosey, and Lickety may show up by then
2:14 am
flosey
I am absolutely hopeless tonight
2:14 am
ursh
catholic church here uses both girls and boys - quite strange cos they were always so "male"
2:15 am
westford
some things are changing but verrry slowly
2:16 am
jillibus
well, RC churches have nuns...
2:16 am
flosey
but I'm still less than half way! after 2 hours
2:16 am
gremlinn
west/jilli - I read your lines after "they were always so 'male'" and got seriously confused
2:16 am
westford
sorry grem
2:16 am
jillibus
that's unusual, flosey -- at least I have 114 words, thanks to gremlin
2:17 am
westford
confusion reigns in babble
2:17 am
flosey
goodnight - be back if not asleep in an hour
2:17 am

2:21 am
jillibus

2:22 am
gremlinn

2:22 am
jillibus

westford

2:43 am
Andree
mens tennis final has just started, i'm sure the brits out there are up watching
2:45 am
Haz1558
I have it on in the background.
2:45 am
FMitch
Sorry to disapoint Andree but tennis is not on in this house!
2:45 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all.
2:45 am
FMitch
Morning Haz and all
2:46 am
Haz1558
Good morning, FM.
2:46 am
Atalante
hi all!!!!
2:46 am
FMitch
Ata!!!!!!!!!!!
2:46 am
Haz1558
I'd probably support Murray if he were playing against anyone except Federer.
2:46 am
Haz1558
Hello Ata!
2:46 am
FMitch
I had a sleep in this morning, didn't get up til 7.45, bliss.
2:46 am
Atalante
I went past The Glen yesterday, Fi ....
2:47 am
Andree
well i'm hoping murray wins, it would be such a buzz for him and wonderful as federer is he has to lose sometime
2:48 am
Atalante
on the way to The Thatch :)
2:48 am
FMitch
Did you wave?
2:48 am
Andree
and hi fmitch, haz and ata
2:48 am
FMitch
Hello Andree
2:49 am
Atalante
murray can certainly beat Fed, but whether he can do it in a competitive environment is another matter
2:49 am
Haz1558
He has a good record against him, just not in Grand Slam finals.
2:50 am
Haz1558
As long as they both do themselves justice, I'll be happy.
2:50 am
FMitch
Would like Murray to win
2:50 am
Atalante
wish they ween't both wearing blue
2:51 am
Haz1558
Yes, especially when the court is blue as well.
2:52 am
FMitch
How is C doing Ata?
2:52 am
Atalante
good! she was actually pleasant to be with, which makes a change _
2:53 am
FMitch
good to hear that.
2:55 am
Atalante
yes, it made quite a nice change. except I ate too much chocolate and now I feel fat
2:56 am
Flask1
Good morning all tennis fans!
2:56 am
Haz1558
Good morning, Flask. Have you got your face painted blue?
2:56 am
FMitch
Morning Flask
2:57 am
Atalante
hi flask
2:58 am
ursh
if you are early - are you not unlate?
2:58 am
Andree
hi flask, should be a great game
2:58 am
Andree
so far so good
2:58 am
Flask1
Eh, no Haz!......but a wee roar has escaped my mouth!!!..lol
2:59 am
Flask1
yes....so far so good!
2:59 am
Haz1558
It's good that they're broadcasting it live and that it's not on at a silly time through the night for us.
3:00 am
Andree
what time is it there
3:00 am
Flask1
I Know, very thoughtful!
3:01 am
Flask1
exactly 12 hrs earlier
3:01 am
Atalante
I have it in a little window next to my babble
3:01 am
Flask1
9 pm you mean!
3:01 am
Atalante
last time I looked it was morning here ...
3:03 am
FMitch
Definitely morning here and -5 but bright and sunny.
3:03 am
Atalante
maybe Scotland is in a time warp!
3:04 am
Andree
i am confused which is not unusual
3:04 am
Haz1558
It's morning in Scotland, evening in Australia.
3:04 am
Haz1558
And Flask is so excited, time means nothing.
3:05 am
Andree
its sunday evening, 8.04pm
3:05 am
FMitch
We can always rely on Haz to bring order back to a situation.
3:05 am
FMitch
so Andree is 11 hours ahead of us.
3:05 am
Haz1558
I am the voice of reason.
3:06 am
FMitch
well most of the time Haz but only if you keep taking the pills.
3:06 am
Haz1558
This is true.
3:07 am
FMitch
Totally irrelevant question but how is the grid today?
3:08 am
Haz1558
It's heavily skewed towards the letter c.
3:08 am
gremlinn
a bit harder than usual
3:08 am
Atalante
with a phantom of colcannon
3:08 am
FMitch
Hi gremlinn
3:09 am
gremlinn
I have word hints in my profile if anyone needs them
3:09 am
Haz1558
Hello, gremlinn. You mean you haven't finished or that it took you longer than 3 minutes?
3:09 am
Andree
thx gremlin, i take it you finished ages ago as usual
3:09 am
Haz1558
First question answered....
3:09 am
gremlinn
It took about 90 minutes
3:09 am
rubyfoo
gd morning everybody -- coldest morning so far but bright and sunny
3:10 am
Atalante
hi ruby! the whole breed of chows are in my bad books!!
3:10 am
rubyfoo
what happened?
3:10 am
Haz1558
Good morning, ruby.
3:10 am
gremlinn
I am usually here and working hard right when the new puzzle is out
3:10 am
FMitch
Was making enquiries yesterday as to how much a taxi would cost from my Mums hour to mine (thinking about Mothers Day in March) - to cover 14 miles will cost £35!
3:10 am
FMitch
Morning ruby
3:10 am
Atalante
goodness!
3:11 am
rubyfoo
oh, so sorry, too wired up on coffee, need some calming drugs in the pb!!!
3:11 am
Haz1558
Is this taxi gold-plated?
3:11 am
Haz1558
Is Prince Charles driving?
3:11 am
FMitch
I forgot to ask I was so gob smacked.
3:11 am
Haz1558
Is vintage champagne on tap?
3:11 am
FMitch
and that is just one way, not a round trip.
3:11 am
Haz1558
You should try Easyjet, FM.
3:12 am
FMitch
perhaps a helicoper would be cheaper
3:12 am
Haz1558
That's a pretty ridiculous price, isn't it?
3:13 am
FMitch
It seems rediculous but then again I haven't used a taxi in years so who knows.
3:14 am
FMitch
will contact a couple more co's to get a price comparison.
3:14 am
Andree
the are pretty pricey here too especially from the airport with lots of extra taxes
3:15 am
FMitch
oh yes Andree airport taxis you can pretty much double what youwould usually pay.
3:16 am
Atalante
urf, so tired
3:16 am
KatieMcG
from mum's to ours which is 3 miles the taxi is about £6 so I'm not sure it is that bad but you should be able to haggle as you are booking it in advance
3:17 am
Atalante
from here to Whitstable is about £15 which is 8-9 miles
3:17 am
FMitch
mmm good point Katie and Good morning :)
3:18 am
KatieMcG
morning all
3:18 am
Haz1558
Hello, Katie.
3:19 am
Atalante
hi katie and whichever cats are near
3:20 am
rubyfoo
hello haz and katie and ata and FM and andree. Sorry for my earlier faux pas!!!!
3:20 am
rubyfoo
what happened with the chows, ata?
3:20 am
Atalante
bella bit hobbit! she didn't break the skin but left a bruise!
3:21 am
rubyfoo
that's terrible but could have been much worse. chows have jaws of death when they want
3:21 am
rubyfoo
not mine, of course, lol
3:21 am
KatieMcG
one was sick and had an upset tummy yesterday so none of them are near as I want to check which one was poorly!!
3:22 am
Atalante
they were both in a grumpy mood. monster dogs
3:22 am
rubyfoo
because you were away?
3:23 am
FMitch
Back in a mo, putting the kettle on and yes Ata will make tea for you and coffee for those that want it :)
3:23 am
rubyfoo
yes pls, fm, with milk
3:23 am
Atalante
Bells is in season and apparently doesn't appreciate other female dogs in her domain right now
3:24 am
rubyfoo
aaah, that explains it
3:24 am
Haz1558
What age is Bella?
3:25 am
Andree
ata do you have 2 dogs
3:25 am
Atalante
she's *thinks* 1 1/2 ish?
3:25 am
Atalante
no, Andree, Bella is my friend's chow
3:26 am
Atalante
oh good, Andy Murray has changed to a white top
3:27 am
Andree
in the second set now murray has changed out of the blue
3:27 am
Haz1558
I texted him.
3:27 am
rubyfoo
good job, haz!
3:29 am
Andree
probably the prime minister needing advice
3:29 am
Atalante
Obama maybe
3:29 am
Andree
or george, sick of the italian chick
3:29 am
rubyfoo
he needs all the help he can get!
3:30 am
Andree
don't they all
3:30 am
Haz1558
None of those suggestions. A farmer with a sick cow.
3:30 am
Atalante
awww poor cow
3:31 am
Haz1558
I know. But veterinary medicine will pull her through!
3:31 am
Atalante
oops nearly said that ha7 is a phantom
3:32 am
Haz1558
And it's a plural for some reason.
3:32 am
FMitch
Have to smile, was in the garden whilst waiting for the kettle to boil and the bell ringergers at the church aren't the greatest in the wolrd but there is a joy in hearing the wonderful cacophany none the less.
Tea and coffe are served in the PB by the way.
3:32 am
Atalante
is the intrepid mr Haz off to visit her?
3:32 am
Haz1558
No, just medicine needed.
3:33 am
gremlinn
Ata: I did say it was a phantom by mistake earlier (I was looking at the wrong AL and thought the H didn't connect)
3:34 am
FMitch
ringergers? where did that come from, I swear this keyboard has a mind of it's own!
3:34 am
Atalante
glad it's not just me :) I couldn't see where the Y connected lol
3:35 am
Haz1558
Ringergers. It's bound to be some sort of interesting malady.
3:35 am
rubyfoo
hard, I thought it was a phantom, too
3:35 am
Atalante
ringergivitis
3:35 am
Haz1558
Women who long for marriage are Ringurgers.
3:36 am
FMitch
perhaps that why they can't quite ring in sequence.
3:36 am
rubyfoo
we could get you a job at our loval church, fm, they haven't a clue!
3:36 am
rubyfoo
they even make bells here in the valley, but the local ones all sound cracked
3:36 am
gremlinn
married babies are ringerbers
3:37 am
Haz1558
Would Ringergers combine Tinnitus with Asperger's?
3:38 am
Atalante
sounds likely
3:38 am
KatieMcG
crumble is sulking now have to work out if it's because she is poorly or just stropy
3:38 am
lynxxx

3:40 am
lynxxx
Friday went smoothly Haz?
3:40 am
Atalante

3:41 am
Haz1558
Yes, it all went well, lynxxx, up the ramp, down the ramp, through the test.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
is he ok now?
3:42 am
Atalante
oh gosh no, he'll be ill for weeks now, I'm sure
3:43 am
Haz1558
Don't worry, ruby, Ata's husband enjoys imagined ill health.
3:43 am
KatieMcG
really ill or man ill?
3:43 am
Atalante
man ill LOL
3:43 am
KatieMcG
good luck with that then!
3:44 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, I have a very cold heart and when my husband had a painless heart attack and couldn't breath, I thought he was overreacting to an allergy attack and I said "Get a grip!" I'll live with that forever!
3:44 am
KatieMcG
Better go and get ready for church, see you all later
3:44 am
Haz1558
Right, must be practical and get me to the kitchen.
3:44 am
Atalante
I'd be the same, ruby!
3:44 am
rubyfoo
Fortunately, he survived my callousness!
3:44 am
FMitch
Whats on the menu today Haz?
3:44 am
Atalante

Hello everyone!
4:00 am

4:00 am
Andree
hi brookie
4:00 am
Brookie
Hi lynxxx and andree. How are you today?
4:01 am
lynxxx
Much better after cool change came thru!
4:02 am
Brookie
Has it been hot the last couple days? The reports I had been getting in Melbourne were "perfect weather". Good to hear you're both fine.
4:03 am
lynxxx
Just today - got up to 37c - a bit too much
4:03 am
Brookie
It's been 18F here.
4:05 am
Brookie
My youngest son hasn't woken up yet, so I'm enjoying solo babble time. :-)
4:06 am
Andree
wow thats hot lyn, we have had a stiff breeze all day
4:06 am
lynxxx
He's getting better then...what time is it now?
4:06 am
Brookie
It's 5 a.m. here.
4:07 am
Brookie
What's the weather difference, in general, between Melbourne and Sydney?
4:07 am
Andree
if murray doesn't pick up his game this match will be over
4:08 am
Andree
sydney is much more temperate, lynxx might not agree, its never as hot or as cold
4:09 am
Andree
ofcourse we get our heat waves too
4:09 am
lynxxx
Sydney has ocean breezes whereas Melbourne is in a large bay. We also get Sydneys leftover weather...it come in from ocean into NSW and goes anticlockwise overland...so we are last cab off the rank as far as rainfall goes
4:09 am
Brookie
Just wondering. My friend in Melbourne reports that the weather is perfect all the time there.
4:09 am
BabbleRabble
Pretty nice day: -3 °F (-19 °C) Wind Chill: -18 °F (-28 °C

4:11 am
BabbleRabble

Deeha
Hooray??? Mur5ray may be a grumpy Scot but he is British!!
5:24 am
Andree
a great game and the best man won
5:24 am
Haz1558
They say he's not that grumpy at all. But Federer is a wonderful tennis player.
5:25 am
Andree
is he grumpy
5:26 am
Haz1558
He gives the impression of grumpiness because he speaks in such a monotonous way, but that's not the real him, apparently.
5:26 am
Deeha
Let us say he isnt exactly gracious and he has taken a lot of stick for it - at least he tries to smile occassionly now!!
5:26 am
Haz1558
Grumpy or not, he (Murray) is still a brilliant player as well.
5:27 am

6:33 am
redturtlehead
Hi All. Lickety is on Facebook Oodle, you could FB them, but I think I saw MrP here and they are fine.
6:33 am
Anniebrook
Hi FM! That is good news.
6:33 am
FMitch
Hello Annie :)
6:33 am
redturtlehead
hello FM Annie and Oodle.
6:33 am
Anniebrook
hi red!
6:34 am
oodleberry
hi red
6:34 am
redturtlehead
I have been wanting a grid over 200, Dr God doesn't seem to want to oblige.
6:36 am
hurshy
he doesn't control it. it's random, the computer just generates them.
6:37 am
redturtlehead
I know Hurshy, but I always like to think of him as in control of it....
6:37 am
hurshy
oh dear, red, you're a walking argument for atheism.
6:38 am
redturtlehead
perhaps. I'm not a good Atheist!
6:39 am
hurshy
so, you are an atheist? and what defines a good one?
6:39 am
redturtlehead
No I am not an Atheist, which I think makes me a bad atheist! I am a regular Christian, participating right now in the 64 days of non violence. It's Awesome!
6:40 am
hurshy
well in that case, you should certainly try to avoid being a walking argument for atheism. :)
6:40 am
redturtlehead
I would think so.
6:40 am
hurshy
(are you normally very violent?)
6:41 am
redturtlehead
No Not really, Im every day a Quaker. It's the season of Non violence, for some of us, we have 64 days of meditation and action.
6:42 am
hurshy
it is just a funny name - like, the rest of the year, you can be violent, but for these 64 days...
6:42 am
redturtlehead
I always wonder about the random number 64...but...
6:42 am
redturtlehead
I agree. the rest of the year, do we have a season of Violence?
6:43 am
hurshy
64 is square, which is lovely, but it doesn't seem to have any biblical significance, i agree.
6:43 am
redturtlehead
I thought halon was a gas. If it like Freon a brand?
6:43 am
hurshy
halon is not a gas that i know of.
6:44 am
oodleberry
are you thinking of halogen red?
6:44 am
redturtlehead
Oh no... must go goole it and find out if it is anything.
6:44 am
TheLegend
halon is a fire extinguishing agent
6:45 am
redturtlehead
No No Halon. I googled it, the reason I know it is that it is a type of abbreviation fo a halide fire extinguisher.
6:45 am
redturtlehead
As Legend says!
6:45 am
redturtlehead
Hi Legend.
6:45 am
TheLegend
its used mostly on aircraft...to put out engine fires
6:46 am
redturtlehead
We have it in some parts of the hospital. I guess all that preparation for the JACHO inspection wore off on me.
6:48 am
redturtlehead
Hurshy, how are you ? And Oodle, how goes it in the frozen North?
6:48 am
hurshy
red, i have googled your 64 days in the meantime. it wasn't chosen for the number, but because jan 30 is the day ghandi was assassinated, and april 4 is the day MLK was assassinated, and in 1998 it was the 30th anniv. of one and the 50th of the other and ghandi's daughter or granddaughter suggested creating this "season" based on those dates.
6:48 am
hurshy
i'm fine red, got my mitty kitty all cuddled up with me
6:48 am
redturtlehead
Hurshy, you are amazing. You would think I would have noticed that.
6:48 am
redturtlehead
I have had too many houseguests and life changes.
6:48 am
redturtlehead
THanks!!!
6:49 am
redturtlehead
oh no, is that PB for me?
6:49 am
hurshy
the ability to google isn't that amazing :)
6:49 am
redturtlehead
No, its that you bothered.
6:50 am
TheLegend
the list is NOT up in babanon...:(
6:50 am
hurshy
i don't believe in the PB, so if nobody else wants to enforce it, you're off the hook.
6:50 am
oodleberry
yeah!!! hurshy
6:51 am
hurshy
i don't often get a yeah!!!
i'm having a real good day so far i guess
6:51 am
oodleberry
i am with you hurshy on the PB and red you are safe
6:52 am
redturtlehead
sometimes i like the food in there....
6:54 am
oodleberry
think I asked about your name before hurshy but where is it from...I don,t buy hershey candy anymore since they moved the one and only hershey canadian factory to mexico.
6:54 am
oodleberry
think you said it was german?
6:54 am
hurshy
in the good old days, there was a button you had to click to enter your chat, so there was much less of the whole entering-a-word-in-chat-because-you-fo
rgot-to-move-your-cursor. we complained to doc when the new format was introduced, but he said people would get used to it. they did not. therefore i blame the system for those types of incidents and don't want to lock up the individual drug user, to analogize. and in those good old days, if someone used a word in conversation, we just said, red said a woooooooord, and that was that. and if it was a very common word like THAT, my feeling was that it should be exempt anyway.
6:55 am
hurshy
yes, it's related to my married name, which is germanic.
6:56 am
oodleberry
oh ok i amember now :D
6:56 am
hurshy
hershey chocolate isn't very good anyway, so i have never really been a major consumer of it.
6:56 am
redturtlehead
I think it allows for a lot of fun if people take it the right way..
6:56 am
oodleberry
I will sleep well tonight knowing that hurshey :D
6:57 am
oodleberry
they use wax
6:57 am
hurshy
well that explains it
6:57 am
oodleberry
red, it is not fun for me, more frustrating
6:57 am
hurshy
we had fun before. we just had a jacuzzi filled with champagne instead of a penalty box.
6:58 am
redturtlehead
Well, the PB as I see it now has lots of snacks, and coffee, and cabana boys and dancing girls...
6:58 am
oodleberry
it is an honest mistake and should be dealt as such
6:58 am
KatieMcG
still has the jacuzzi and champs as well
6:59 am
oodleberry
never heard of the jacuzzi
6:59 am
hurshy
and if doc would just GIVE US BACK THE BUTTON we wouldn't HAVE so many honest mistakes!
6:59 am
Anniebrook
I believe the jacuzzi was moved into the PB
6:59 am
redturtlehead
oh yes and stid put a bed in there for me some time back.
7:00 am
KatieMcG
usually bacon sandwiches as well
7:00 am
Anniebrook
FM has a great picture of the PB
7:00 am
redturtlehead
she does.
7:01 am
redturtlehead
I guess I just don't see it as punishment at all, which is why I am not frustrated, alsi the occasional dropped word can be nice...
7:01 am
KatieMcG
couldn't agree more red
7:01 am
oodleberry
think I made enemies by reacting so negatively to the PB
7:02 am
hurshy
i really really don't like it when a long but not obscure word is accidentally typed into the chat because someone didn't move the cursor. some of us would like to actually find those words.
7:02 am
KatieMcG
not at all oodle, just trying to show that it can be taken as fun, but won't ever put you in there as you don't like it
7:02 am
Anniebrook
PB as punishment? when you can get chocolate and champagne? Oodle is taking the PB seriously I think?
7:02 am
oodleberry
well someone doesn't acknowledge me anymore
7:02 am
redturtlehead
But it is usually some little piddling 4 letter thing..
7:03 am
Mudd
an 7,8 clue please
7:03 am
KatieMcG
is it just me finding this one a pig today?
7:03 am
hurshy
an7 to think about critically
7:03 am
Anniebrook

7:03 am

Mudd, some chemists an***** material. and come to a conclusion about it.

7:04 am
hurshy
the A's are giving me trouble at the moment, katie, if that counts.
7:05 am
Sally-catlover
My phantom: unclean. Does that say something about me?
7:05 am
hurshy
that you've read the bible a lot?
7:05 am
KatieMcG
i have on** got 58 and it has been a long hard slog!
7:05 am

7:05 am
Sally-catlover
lol huurshy
7:06 am
Mudd
I have the scientist's an 7. I need the third an 7 and I assume the 8 is a plural. Another clue please.
7:06 am
hurshy
my phantom is nuance
7:06 am
redturtlehead
Mudd, I do not have the other one, so I can not give you another clue.
7:06 am
Sally-catlover
an + vowel + could be spelling of not dark
7:06 am
redturtlehead
Very sorry.
7:06 am
KatieMcG
whereas I am obsessed with getting 'uncle
7:07 am
KatieMcG
ty sally
7:08 am
hurshy
cry uncle! and let slip the dogs of war
7:08 am
Sally-catlover
np
7:08 am
hurshy
no, that makes no sense. i must rephrase the latter bit too.
7:08 am
hurshy
cry uncle! and restrain the dogs of war
7:08 am
Sally-catlover
So now we have the nuance of an unclean uncle
7:09 am
redturtlehead
Oooh, the "Creepy uncle?"
7:09 am
Mudd
I think I have to go to bed. I can't figure out the sweetest of clues.
7:10 am
Mudd
Oh, I got it ... bless you!
7:10 am
KatieMcG
I would like to state for the record that my uncles are not creepy (Diem if your lurking!!)
7:10 am
Sally-catlover
:-)
7:10 am
redturtlehead
Oh my!
7:10 am
Sally-catlover
Is Diem your uncle Katie?

7:10 am
KatieMcG

7:11 am
KatieMcG

7:11 am
Sally-catlover
I only ever had one uncle and he is long long sadly :-(
7:11 am
Sally-catlover

Sally-catlover
Though he was quite tall :-)
7:12 am
hurshy

7:13 am
Sally-catlover
:-( Feeling uncle-less
7:13 am
KatieMcG
I only have two sally and Diem is half a world away
7:14 am
hurshy

7:14 am
oodleberry
back front top bottom and both sides
7:14 am
KatieMcG
ironically I probably see more of him and speak to him more often that my other uncle who lives about 15 miles away
7:14 am
Sally-catlover
It's nice you all play Babble Katie. None of my family do.
7:14 am
Uneaixoise

7:20 am

7:20 am

So agree Une but I am not that clever.

i had a flock of robins come through yesterday - never seen anything like it... must have been almost 100
7:38 am
Uneaixoise
fmitch, I know the feeling -- I'm making sure mine have plenty of seed and suet!
7:39 am
Uneaixoise
oh, how cool, kje!!
7:39 am
Uneaixoise
i only see huge flocks like that of blackbirds -- ugh
7:39 am
kje
they flew around the backyard (and small wooded area nehind the house) all day, singing, pecking at the ground... and crashing into my windows
7:39 am
Uneaixoise
oohhh, clear skies and the sun is out-- wahoo!!
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
wow, kje!
7:40 am
kje
I had to look them up and read on them because I didn't realize they traveled like that - I usually only see 1-2 at a time, but they likely live here perm
7:40 am
FMitch
That must have been something kje!
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
did you do your Tippi Hedrin reenactment??
7:40 am
hurshy
man, my cats would go crazy if that happened.
7:40 am

yes.. the thunking was a little unnerving
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
i can imagine!
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
hursh, same with my dogs!
7:41 am
kje
it took me awhile to realize the sound was the birds crashing... then I saw one
7:41 am
kje
just flew off again
7:42 am
kje
had a dozen or so perched on my deck railing at one point... beautiful orange to red chests all in a row
7:42 am
hurshy
one time while we lived at a boarding school, a falconer came with various birds of prey to show the students. he did the demonstrations right in front of our house so me and the cats watched. the students then saw us watching and asked who would win in a cat vs bird-of-prey fight.
7:42 am
Uneaixoise
ooohhh, how beautiful
7:43 am
kje
apparently my little creek is a way-station... they are heading towards you, une, so watch out ; )
7:44 am
FMitch
ooo who would win hursh I hate to think of the battle that would ensue.
7:44 am
Uneaixoise
I had a few robins right before this cold/snow front hit but right now it's mostly cardinals in the backyard and peckerwoods/itty bitty birds in front
7:44 am
kje
the birds would def win
7:45 am
kje
cardinals are gorgeous!
7:45 am
hurshy
yeah, the guy said that it would be tough to call, which is why the birds wouldn't attack a cat - they MIGHT win, but the cat would certainly do it some damage in the process.
7:45 am
Uneaixoise
i've seen mockingbirds chasing away cats in my front yard!
7:45 am
Uneaixoise
kje, esp. in the snow -- just breathtaking
7:45 am
kje
Ihave seen blue birds attack cats... the bird usually comes out ahead
7:46 am
Uneaixoise
the mockingbirds were chasing AND divebombing LOL
7:46 am
hurshy
element of surprise probably helps.
7:46 am
kje
mostly cuz they freak the cats out... can't really get to them when they can swoop attack and then fly away
7:46 am
oodleberry
hee hee hee YEAH BIRDS
7:47 am
Uneaixoise
my sentiments exactly, oodle!
7:48 am
hurshy
my cats have lived with humans too long. last night i left a mediocre salad from a pizza place on the floor next to me and my cats were licking it. tomatoes, i knew they liked, but mitten was licking the GREEN PEPPERS! i said, you're a cat, you're not supposed to like salad!
7:48 am
oodleberry
what I don,t understand is why a cat can climb a tree but it cant get back down
7:48 am
Uneaixoise
ok, BBL -- gonna try to get Shelby to pee once again -- she's not crazy about trying it on a sheet of ice, poor girl
7:49 am
hurshy
because when it's climbing up it's not looking down and thinking about the height.
7:49 am

it's not a proper noun -- neither is kosher
2:56 pm
torgone
Not proper, just not accepted ..
2:56 pm
jmcnrick
it is a legal term in islamic law
2:57 pm
HarryHood
is kosher acceptable?
2:59 pm
wht
If I type kosher I get kosher does not exist in the puzzle - so it is in Enable
2:59 pm
jmcnrick
very clever wht
3:00 pm
HarryHood
you're always thinking :)
3:00 pm

Not sure that's conclusive though .. Still might not be in enable ..
3:02 pm
Jellen
Hi, Harry and tor

Mosh is "not found int eh dictionary" as is halal. Kosher is "doesn't exist int he puzzle" therefore it is int he dictionary.

Moravian spice cookies are a traditional kind of cookie that originated in the Colonial American communities of the Moravian Church. The blend of spices and molasses, rolled paper thin, has a reputation as the "World's Thinnest Cookie." They are related to German Lebkuchen; original recipes can be traced back to the 1700's.
The cookie is especially popular around, and usually associated with, Christmas in communities with a strong Moravian background such as Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which still maintain the two largest Moravian communities in the United States. Although there are a few bakeries that still roll and cut the cookies by hand, some now use a mechanized process for making the cookies in order to meet the demand. While this does not affect the taste, the machine-made cookies have been criticized for not being as thin as their handmade counterparts.
While the spice recipe is the most traditional and well-known of the Moravian cookies, other versions have appeared over the years, including sugar, lemon, black walnut, and chocolate varieties.
