flosey

back again, ty grem for clues

2:17 am

jillibus

wb flosey -- did you enjoy?

2:20 am

flosey

ah Jilli, that was thrilling

2:21 am

flosey

love your icon, jilli, very appropriate

2:21 am

jillibus

:-)

2:22 am

jillibus

how was bridge? Did Irene play?

2:22 am

flosey

yes, she played with Joanne

2:22 am

jillibus

Good -- did they do well?

2:23 am

flosey

we didn't get home until 11: and there were only 3 1/2 tables, 4 boards, so figure, very slow

2:23 am

flosey

I don't know jilli, we'll hear in the morning

2:23 am

flosey

we had a good game

2:23 am

jillibus

Hmm, lots watching Olympics, I guess

2:24 am

jillibus

that's great!

2:24 am

flosey

must be

2:24 am

rolin

excuse me...but what else do you call a truck that spreads gr4 on the road???...

2:26 am

flosey

hi rolin

2:26 am

rolin

hey flosey...this is a silly word game sometimes

2:27 am

flosey

I agree, just monkey away and you come up with words you've never heard

2:27 am

flosey

but they're accepted

2:28 am

jillibus

and then words you HAVE heard, like perp, are not accepted

2:28 am

jillibus

hi rolin

2:28 am

rolin

hey jilli

2:29 am

flosey

like to4/4 - when you get around to it?

2:29 am

gremlinn

I read an article dated May 2009 that the English language was approaching one million "words", projected for a month after that point

2:30 am

rolin

depends on your definition of 'words' really doesnt it...lol

2:30 am

flosey

I think so

2:31 am

gremlinn

yeah, the compilers were including stuff like "defriend" from Facebook users - it had to have been used something like 25,000 times on social networks

2:31 am

jillibus

well, yes -- perp being only part of a word, really, but then refs is ok, as are several others like that

2:33 am

gremlinn

'According to the Global Language Monitor, the English language this week crossed a threshold as the "one millionth word" entered the lexicon. That word? "Web 2.0."

Global Language Monitor has a methodology by which it measures "new" words entering into English. Though "Web 2.0" has been around for years, GLM's method of counting requires "a minimum of 25,000 citations with the necessary breadth of geographic distribution and depth of citations." '

2:33 am

gremlinn

so, I wasn't quite right before, but I remembered the number at least

2:34 am

gremlinn

and apparently words can have spaces and numbers and decimals inside them now

2:34 am

jillibus

So there must be some strange ones included, grem

2:34 am

rolin

rubbish

2:35 am

gremlinn

that was from June 2009

2:35 am

rolin

surely the definition of a 'word' is that it is a unit of letters to convey meaning

2:35 am

jillibus

yes, rolin

2:35 am

flosey

like infiltr8 ?

2:35 am

jillibus

good 1 flosey

2:35 am

flosey

lol, speeds things up I guess

2:35 am

gremlinn

Thanks for the edumacation!

2:36 am

jillibus

I suppose that list contains all the txt wds 2

2:36 am

gremlinn

I'll bet they added "lol" as well.

2:37 am

rolin

tho i have to say... oneuse of the development of the text language is that there is now a comedy club in lindon called the 'roffle club'...i ,love it..

2:37 am

justafreep

hey... I'm in the grid!

2:37 am

rolin

3:08 am

flosey

playing the Scrabble Fundraiser

3:08 am

jillibus

ah, but will you, flosey?

3:08 am

jillibus

Thatshouls be fun!

3:08 am

flosey

yes, I really must

3:08 am

flosey

will see if I can get up to 75 first

3:09 am

jillibus

You should be a real whiz after all this practice!

3:09 am

flosey

I haven't played scrabble in over 25 years

3:09 am

flosey

they probably wont accept half of the words we see here

3:09 am

jillibus

well, you now know so many weird words

3:10 am

flosey

guess we have to play by someone's rules, I didn't play last year

3:10 am

jillibus

Oh they probably have a Scrabble dictionary full of them.

3:10 am

BiancaM

hhi jilli and flosey!

3:10 am

flosey

Hi Bianca

3:10 am

BiancaM

are you both canadian?

3:11 am

jillibus

hi bianca!

3:11 am

flosey

yes, we are Bianca

3:11 am

jillibus

yes -- what are you?

3:11 am

BiancaM

if so congratulations on your winners tonight

3:11 am

rubyfoo

I think the scrabble dictionaries are very different. Even the American one and the UK ones differ

3:11 am

flosey

live on the same small island

3:11 am

BiancaM

american

3:11 am

rubyfoo

hi bianca

3:11 am

flosey

thank you Bianca, it was very exciting

3:12 am

jillibus

thank you very much, Bianca -- we're thrilled to bits :)

3:12 am

BiancaM

the skaters were beautiful

3:12 am

jillibus

and where do you come from, bianca?

3:12 am

flosey

I've always loved the dance competition

3:12 am

BiancaM

the u.s.

3:12 am

flosey

which state

3:13 am

BiancaM

california

3:13 am

jillibus

well, your guys were superb too, and it's so great that they're all good friends, which shone forth from the podium and backstage

3:13 am

BiancaM

yeah it's really nice to see that

3:14 am

BiancaM

the poor russians though. They got no hugs

3:14 am

jillibus

I thought the Russians were a mess and the bronze should have gone to the other US team

3:14 am

rubyfoo

but they have bad attitudes, I think

3:14 am

BiancaM

really?

3:14 am

BiancaM

I was surprised the russians got the bronze also

3:15 am

rubyfoo

and they snipe at winners....Plushenko and the quads!

3:15 am

rubyfoo

see you later, sports fans!! lol

3:15 am

BiancaM

bye ruby

3:16 am

flosey

bye for now ruby

3:16 am

jillibus

well, I guess their costumes put me off, but their skating was uninspired too, I thought, and not so brilliant technically either, according to the commentators

3:16 am

flosey

me too jilli, they were ugly

3:17 am

jillibus

bye ruby -- bear up, old girl!

3:17 am

flosey

I don't care to see frills and flimsy stuff on the men

3:17 am

BiancaM

the costumes weren't good. It made them seem naive.

3:18 am

jillibus

it was the long greasy hair too, and the glum expression

3:18 am

flosey

I thought they looked disappointed

3:19 am

jillibus

they probably thought they were entitled to the gold

3:19 am

BiancaM

I guess I liked that they got the bronze just for nostalgia's sake.

3:19 am

BiancaM

Since they've always won a metal since it started.

3:21 am

BiancaM

yikes cold war nostalgia

3:22 am

jillibus

yikes, 16 pe words!

3:22 am

flosey

haven't got that far yet jilli

3:22 am

jillibus

well, be warned!

3:24 am

jillibus

Well, thanks for the kind words, bianca, and now I'm off to beddybye -- g'night all!

3:24 am

flosey

Sally-catlover

However, just tried nice Chaucerian word which was accepted.

3:51 am

Atalante

I like avaunt

3:51 am

Atalante

sorry. bit random. lol

3:52 am

Atalante

shame griotte isn't allowed

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

Hadn't seen that one. Yes, strange since there are so many furrin words usually.

3:54 am

Atalante

exactly

3:55 am

Sally-catlover

And I always try gire, because I think I have Lewis Carroll in mind (the correct spelling doesn't work, either!)

3:55 am

Atalante

I also do too

3:56 am

BiancaM

no clues, nuh?

3:56 am

BiancaM

huh?

3:56 am

BiancaM

im ean no lickety clues

3:56 am

Atalante

nope

3:57 am

BiancaM

i can usually get only about almost a third with no clues

3:58 am

Atalante

nothing to be ashamed of, that!

3:58 am

hurshy

pitter. pitter patter.

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

How long have you been Babbling for, Bianca? Don't remember your name in the chat before.

3:58 am

BiancaM

thanks atal

3:59 am

BiancaM

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

Is that tiny feet hurshy, or are you in the wrong box? :-)

3:59 am

BiancaM

but not that new

3:59 am

Atalante

we all agree smurshy

3:59 am

BiancaM

just might not have talked in chat too much

4:00 am

hurshy

i'm not in the wrong box, the box is wrong.

4:00 am

BiancaM

it's the pictures that got small

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, see what you mean.

4:02 am

Atalante

I like the fact that the cr7s we have in our profile pics are allowed though

4:03 am

hurshy

and that author who writes about them, james... but without the double r

4:03 am

Atalante

the mead hall!

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

Goes on cr7 hunt. Oh! TY Ata

4:04 am

hurshy

are you saying he6 is in fact a mead hall?

4:04 am

Atalante

4:04 am

hurshy

aha

4:04 am

rubyfoo

hello sally??

4:05 am

rubyfoo

hi ata

4:05 am

Atalante

as you should well know! If you don't, you need to read it ;)

4:05 am

Atalante

hi ruby

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby. Why the question marks? Am I not really here? :-)

4:06 am

hurshy

i read it in school... wasn't a big fan...

4:06 am

BiancaM

gnite all

4:06 am

rubyfoo

I only read part of beowulf and that was almost 50 yrs ago!! old is me!

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

Night Bianca. See you again.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

no, I was just happy to see you and was afraid I was too late

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps I should read it again (Beowulf). Like it says on the T-shirt - So many books, so little time.

4:07 am

Atalante

it's an amazing book. read Seamus Heaney's translation, it's beautiful

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

Well, hi again ruby! Have not been on much for last few days because have had a house guest so Babble had to take a back seat :-(

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know there was a translation; that's more like it

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

Fairly sure it's not on my book shelf. Will check.

4:08 am

Atalante

lots of translations, Heaney's is the newest, and most poetic

4:08 am

rubyfoo

as a kid, I found the middle English (?) too difficult

4:09 am

Atalante

old English. oh yes, the original is unreadable unless you know Old English

4:10 am

rubyfoo

old, sorry, didn't remembver which

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

We did Chaucer in the original for (I think) A Level, and now I can't bear it in modern English!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

lol, sally

4:10 am

Atalante

middle English is Chaucer etc

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Yes I know Ata, sorry didn't mean to confuse.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I feel like I'm 100 yrs old, university was such a long time ago

4:12 am

Atalante

sorry, that got a bit lagged, was meant to be after saying Beowulf was OE!

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

Now why on earth is "gritter" not allowed? They have been all around us in this snowy weather.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

and why not iter?

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

However, it led me to a gr 8 :-)

4:15 am

rubyfoo

ty sally

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Actually, two ruby

4:16 am

rubyfoo

yes, lol

4:18 am

rubyfoo

is erotic a good phantom word?

4:18 am

Atalante

as good as orgies

4:19 am

rubyfoo

and put them together......

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

One follows the other presumably.

4:22 am

Sally-catlover

Getting coffeee. brb

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

Back. Pours coffee for all. I see you've been talking about me while I was gone!

4:25 am

rubyfoo

milk, no sugar, please!

4:25 am

Atalante

can I have tea instead?

4:26 am

Sally-catlover

Sure, Ata. What kind would you prefer?

4:27 am

Atalante

whatever :D i'm just horribly allergic to coffee!

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

A tragedy. Mind you, I do try to restrict mine since I started to get palpitations from drinking so much. Went cold turkey and had withdrawal symptoms :-(. Now I just have a pot of good coffee in the morning and then no more.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I have one double expresso (thank you, George) in the AM, but that's all. That allergy would be a tragedy for me!

4:29 am

Atalante

horrid stuff :D

4:29 am

rubyfoo

it kick-starts my day. See you after lunch (out, TG)!

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

Bye for now ruby. Have a good lunch.

4:30 am

Atalante

I just think thank goodness for tea :)

4:32 am

4:36 am

Atalante

Hobbit won't know what hit her this afternoon, she's getting a big trim

4:37 am

lynxxx

Already? Are you sure that there is some hot weather coming?

4:40 am

Sally-catlover

Someone said there aren't any clues yet Flask

4:41 am

Flask1

Oh well.....should be interesting!

4:41 am

FMitch

Gremlin has put a list in his profile.

4:42 am

joshuavorbis

4:42 am

Flask1

4:42 am

lynxxx

hi Josh

4:43 am

FMitch

Is it a good grid today?

4:43 am

Flask1

and anyway I still can't access anyone's profiles!

4:43 am

Atalante

it's not so bad so far

4:43 am

Atalante

FM, do you know what Haz's fav flowers are?

4:43 am

joshuavorbis

hi lynxxx

4:44 am

FMitch

Oh crumbs now you're asking *ponders*

4:44 am

Atalante

LOL I was pondering too

4:44 am

Flask1

rite

4:45 am

Flask1

oh no...sorry!

4:45 am

FMitch

I can't think butI I do I will let you know.

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

Flask, you can access profiles through the Rankings page.

4:45 am

Haz1558

(Debating whether to show my face or to pretend that I'm not here)

4:46 am

Atalante

looooool

4:46 am

lynxxx

lol

4:46 am

Atalante

what's teh answer then?

4:46 am

lynxxx

Morning Haz

4:46 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz!

4:46 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all!

4:46 am

Haz1558

It's a toss up between roses and white freesia.

4:46 am

Sally-catlover

You could have pretended you hadn't read the chog and just happened to come on and say how you had seen a wonderful bunch of xxx!

4:46 am

FMitch

Ata wasn't being very sublte was she?

4:47 am

Atalante

oooo freesias!

4:47 am

Atalante

I love freesias too

4:47 am

Haz1558

I know, I'd make a rubbish spy, wouldn't I? Anniebrook is so much more discreet.

4:47 am

Atalante

not very good at subtlety ...

4:47 am

Haz1558

I love freesias, everything about them except that they don't last long enough.

4:48 am

Atalante

my mum's fav flower too. except she's not picky about colour!

4:49 am

Haz1558

I think I love the white because they just look so pure and perfect. And the smell of any freesia is just lovely.

4:49 am

FMitch

Whenever my Father bought my Mother flowers he would buy me freesias.

4:49 am

Atalante

the smell is glorious

4:49 am

Atalante

awwwwww

4:50 am

Haz1558

What a nice father!

4:50 am

lynxxx

Do they grow in gardens there?

4:50 am

Haz1558

Not in any gardens this far north, I don't think.

4:51 am

FMitch

Oh I say a chinook helicopter has just flown over ever so low!

4:51 am

Atalante

which is sad

4:51 am

Atalante

oooo! love chinooks

4:51 am

Haz1558

That'll be Anniebrook on one of her less subtle days.

4:51 am

FMitch

LOL

4:52 am

lynxxx

They are quite common here, once you have them they are there forever and they seem to naturalise and go back to creamy white

4:53 am

Atalante

lucky you!

4:53 am

FMitch

How lovely lynxxx

4:53 am

lynxxx

(not chinooks)

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

LOL, had looked away from the chog and thought you were talking about Chinooks, lynxxx!

4:53 am

FMitch

Oh Sally I did too for a second

4:54 am

lynxxx

We don't have Chinooks - only Elvis's and I am happy to say that this Summer we haven't even needed those!

4:54 am

FMitch

*imagines flock of naturalising chinooks flying around*

4:54 am

lynxxx

Sorry - Elvises!

4:55 am

lynxxx

or maybe that should be Elvii?

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

Elvises? (Visions of Elvis Presleys tearing around the sky)

4:55 am

Atalante

yep!

4:55 am

Haz1558

You've restored my faith in you, lynxx, your adoption was beginning to look shaky.

4:56 am

lynxxx

I know - I am sooo embarassed

4:56 am

Haz1558

But that's good. If you'd been shamefaced about it, or worse, not known what you'd done - disaster.

4:57 am

lynxxx

The Elvis are v. large helicopter which are able to take up vast volumes of water and drop on bushfires

4:57 am

Atalante

finally watching the travelling weddings prog. how do they move in those dresses!

4:58 am

Haz1558

The answer is before your eyes, Ata. They don't so much walk as shuffle painfully.

4:58 am

Atalante

27 stone dressses!

4:59 am

Haz1558

Someday they'll incorporate a scooter underneath the dress. Or a motorised skateboard.

4:59 am

lynxxx

travelling weddings?

4:59 am

Atalante

now there's a niche market needing to be filled

4:59 am

FMitch

or one of those mobility scooters perhaps

5:00 am

Haz1558

Weddings of Irish travellers, except that they're static (the travellers)

5:00 am

lynxxx

OK

5:00 am

Atalante

with 27 stone dresses

5:00 am

Haz1558

They like to have over the top wedding dresses. Not just extravagent, but extraordinary and not in a good way.

5:00 am

Atalante

do they cut the dresses up to make all of the curtains / duvet covers / tea towels / everything for their house?

5:01 am

FMitch

and 20' trains (on the dresses) not the railway kind.

5:01 am

Haz1558

That's a good point, Ata, I've no idea what they do once they get rid of the dress.

5:02 am

Haz1558

20 foot trains, not 20 trains, although you might give them ideas. 'Patty had 1 20 foot train, begorrah, I've have 20 on mine!'

5:02 am

Haz1558

If they had a little train track laid from the door of the church to the altar, and put the bride on a little train, would that help?

5:03 am

Atalante

that's a scary thought

5:03 am

Atalante

like in Wallace adn gromit!

5:03 am

Haz1558

Exactly!

5:03 am

FMitch

It was an interesting programme I must say.

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps they should employ train drivers as bridesmaids.

5:04 am

FMitch

LOL Sally

5:04 am

Haz1558

Ata, you need to find pictorial evidence of said dresses so that lynxxx knows what we're talking about. Imagination is not enough, you couldn't come up with those designs.

5:05 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, the bridesmaids are another integral part of the wedding experience.

5:05 am

Haz1558

They don't wear as big dresses as the bride, but they go for dayglo colours.

5:05 am

lynxxx

!!!just ready up on the marriages - apparantly 200,000 pounds is a not uncommon price paid for a groom!. Travelling is a profitable occupation it seems

5:06 am

FMitch

http://tinyurl.com/6q8h8s

5:07 am

FMitch

the link I posted isn't form the programme but is still on the theme.

5:07 am

lynxxx

Now that's confusing. They are referring to Irish Travellers but these are within the USA

5:07 am

Haz1558

And more http://tinyurl.com/munex8

5:08 am

Haz1558

Irish travellers do come originally from Ireland but have in many cases settled in England. However, they prefer to keep tightly knit within their own culture.

5:09 am

Jayk

Morning all! I wonder if there's a list somewhere. Lickety's is yesterdays

5:09 am

lynxxx

Now I can see where Jordan gets it from - after seeing FMs clip

5:09 am

Haz1558

We have some who have been living here for over 30 years, but they retain a southern Irish accent.

5:09 am

FMitch

Gremlin posted a list in his profile Jayk

5:09 am

Jayk

thanks!

5:11 am

lynxxx

Now that's a Mother Of The Bride outfit !

5:12 am

Haz1558

Amazing, the outfits, aren't they?

5:12 am

FMitch

BRB door bell

5:13 am

Atalante

the blue / green ones are the most spectacular

5:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, the harlequin ones on the programme?

5:14 am

Atalante

yes ...

5:14 am

lynxxx

Actually Ata, your ones were the most tasteful of them all

5:14 am

Atalante

oh dear LOL

5:16 am

lynxxx

Did you look at Haz's Ata?

5:17 am

Atalante

oh yes! lovely peach!

5:18 am

Atalante

they do make jordan look somewhat restrained

5:19 am

Haz1558

When do you think we'll get Jordan's renewal of vows?

5:20 am

Atalante

when she gets another child

5:20 am

Haz1558

I mean, a wedding's not a wedding without renewing the vows five minutes later. Not that they mean a word of it either time.

5:21 am

Atalante

but they need a new baby to complete the photos

5:22 am

Haz1558

They'd get more money if they renewed vows, had the baby, had a christening, renewed vows one last time before the divorce.

5:22 am

FMitch

Back again

5:22 am

Atalante

good point

5:23 am

Haz1558

Not that Jordan is interested in money.

5:23 am

Atalante

not at all

5:24 am

Haz1558

Never has been. Like Heather Mills.

5:24 am

FMitch

*snort*

5:25 am

Haz1558

PHone...

5:25 am

Andree

hi everyone

5:25 am

Atalante

hi andree

5:25 am

Andree

had a day off today and enjoyed a movie fest

5:25 am

FMitch

I maynot get courriers coming anymore but the doorbell was the handyman from the lettings agent, he is coming back tomorrow a.m to do some odd jobs.

5:26 am

Haz1558

Hello, Andree.

5:26 am

FMitch

Hi Andree, what did you see?

5:26 am

Andree

saw "shutter island" and "valentines day"

5:26 am

FMitch

and your verdict on them is?

5:27 am

lynxxx

I was just reading a train of comments on the wedding pictures, some of who are the Irish Travellers - are they semi illiterate or just putting it on - and who are gorgie?

5:27 am

lynxxx

Hi Andree

5:27 am

Andree

valentines day was a light chick flick

5:28 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, I can only speak for the travellers here, the older generation are not literate at all, the younger generation do go to school but have difficulties because they don't have an older generation to help them with their reading etc. It probably stems from the times when they did move around and schooling was interrupted.

5:28 am

Andree

shutter island was a really excellent powerful film

5:29 am

FMitch

quite a contrast between the films then Andree

5:30 am

Andree

very much so

5:31 am

Andree

valentines day was the sort that was fun but if you miss it at the movies you would still enjoy the dvd sometime

5:32 am

Atalante

lol love that - this one girl has a fitted wedding dress - oh, such normality - but then a 20 foot train

5:32 am

lynxxx

Co-incidence, daughter just walked in the door from movies and had seen Shutter Island. Liked it except for Leonardo, thought someone else would have been better

5:33 am

Andree

how strange, i thought he was fantastic and i'm not a fan

5:34 am

Andree

the skating tonight is really beautiful

5:34 am

lynxxx

Just watching it - isn't this couple beautiful! The French were too

5:35 am

Andree

divine

5:35 am

lynxxx

aaawww

5:35 am

FMitch

We have the highlights on this afternoon.

5:37 am

lynxxx

Watch out for the young couple from Canada - Virtue & Moir

5:37 am

Andree

they were the canadians, now leading

5:37 am

Atalante

omg. train from hell. it looks like it's - crinkly stuff?

5:37 am

Atalante

OMG and blue and white loo roll dolls!

5:37 am

lynxxx

They must be a couple surely

5:37 am

FMitch

LOL Ata!

5:38 am

Haz1558

Is that the detachable one? I think it's frills. And if it's Joan, she looked SO much better before they started dolling her up.

5:38 am

Atalante

yes, Joan. Am just horrified at the bridesmaids

5:39 am

Andree

think we used to say that about torville and dean lynxxx, i thought they were a couple

5:39 am

Atalante

torvill and dean were fora bit, weren't they?

5:40 am

Haz1558

Only for about 10 minutes when they were very young.

5:40 am

Atalante

ooo didnt know that

5:40 am

Haz1558

They're both happily married to others but they still skate and work together.

5:41 am

Atalante

wish I could find a pic of these bmaid dresses for lynx

5:41 am

caitlyn

Good morning from a snowy Wales

5:41 am

Haz1558

They're within the pictures on the channel 4 website, I think, Ata.

5:42 am

Atalante

cait!

5:42 am

Haz1558

Hello, caitlyn. Bad now!

5:42 am

FMitch

Hello cait!!!! How nice to see you, more snow? :((

5:42 am

Atalante

they don't look scary enough there ...

5:42 am

Haz1558

Right, must take a quick break to make a phone call. Back later.

5:42 am

Atalante

5:51 am

Atalante

ooo! didn't know that

5:51 am

caitlyn

I read it in the forum

5:51 am

Atalante

I don't like the new wooden maze thing

5:52 am

caitlyn

No I agree its so slow

5:52 am

Atalante

and boring

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

TM? Treasure Maps on FB?

5:54 am

Atalante

Sally-catlover

nice grid so far

6:50 am

Sally-catlover

The grid is the size I like. When they are too big I just don't have time even if they are very easy. Too small and they are either evil or too quick!

6:51 am

sprite

I like them all, but some are tastier than others :)

6:51 am

6:52 am

not for, but from

LOL - was gonna say....

6:55 am

sprite

stupid dutchism

6:56 am

kje

that is how I feel when certain people hit the news... I get despoindant that americans really are so gullible and unknowledgeable... but then again, for the most part, stuff works out

6:56 am

kje

despondant

6:57 am

lawyer-1

for whom does it work out?

6:57 am

sprite

I guess they are the same as the dutch. Malcontent, eager for some kind of scape goat and happy when somebody gives it to them. Especially when it is somebody who 'has the guts' to say fascistical and racistical things.

6:57 am

sprite

hey lawyer, hi.

6:58 am

kje

for the most part, the checks and balances work... i

6:58 am

lawyer-1

hi, sprite

6:58 am

kje

yes... that is disturbing isn't it, sprite? why do we always come back to that?

6:58 am

lawyer-1

kje, it depends on the payees of the checks

6:59 am

sprite

maybe because most people are unwilling to accept change and difficulties and take responsibility for those themselves?

7:00 am

kim m

g'morning, is there a list somewhere?

hello kim, I don't know, sorry

yes... I am on day 7 of a diet... lost 4 pounds so far - woohoo!

7:20 am

Sally-catlover

That's a diet?

7:20 am

sprite

wow kje! Good going!
I am doing Lent, told myself I am not to snack at all for 40 days. So far so good and lost 9 pounds so far.

7:21 am

kje

sure... is actually very good for you... heart healthy fats, protein, veggies (side of sliced tomaro)

7:21 am

kje

I snack, but right now it is celery and laughing cow

7:21 am

sprite

sounds good. Balanced diets are so much more effective in the long run than strict ones.

7:22 am

sprite

lollll @ laughing cow, we call it the same in dutch, even though it is in French on the packages.

7:22 am

sprite

de lachende koe

7:22 am

kje

laughing cow... my concession to dieting - I hate low fat cheese!!!

7:23 am

sprite

the low fat version of the cow is actually pretty tasty.

7:23 am

Sally-catlover

La Vache qui Rit :-) First had that in France and felt very French! I know better now.

7:23 am

kje

cheese is the food of gods! and low fat cheese is a sacrilege

7:23 am

sprite

lol Sally, I know the feeling.

7:23 am

kje

LOL sally

7:24 am

Sally-catlover

It was xxx years ago when I was young (!) and now of course it is available here in the supermarkets.

7:24 am

sprite

well if nobody is in need of my questionable talent for clueing, I am gonna be off. *hugs* to you and thanks for the excellent company and clues.

7:24 am

kje

it is tasty, sprite... I refuse to eat tasteless food... just makes you want to binge

7:24 am

kje

bye sprite... always a pleasure!

7:25 am

sprite

so true! Better to eat balanced and good food. Believe me, I have tried everything else, lol.

7:25 am

Sally-catlover

I love good strong mature cheese.

7:25 am

Sally-catlover

Uh, oh. It's snowing.

7:26 am

kje

me too sally!!! we have a wonderful cheese shop here which reminds me very much of paris... nothing but cheese, you open the door and the odors overwhelm you... but unlike the french, they let you sample lots! of course, that may be b/c they have figured out I buy almost everything they give me

7:28 am

kje

hey!!! our dutch babbler is in the grid! how could it take me so long to see that

7:28 am

Sally-catlover

lol kje. We also have a good cheese shop here in Ludlow, which is a real foodie town. Also some nice delis

Sally-catlover

I loved finding that bit of you in yesterday's grid, red. Very satisfying one.

7:48 am

redturtlehead

I was not a fan of yesterdays grid, for some reason I was unable to gt it and the words were not difficult. I used the list and finally finished.

car.eeyore

Just a little pressure, Scrabs!

9:00 am

Scrabbler

YOWSER, Car! I request the Barbie equipment because I have lived the life of a nun and am postmenopausal...perhaps TMI there

9:00 am

car.eeyore

I have so many phantom words today! Peptic, brief, better, spar.

9:01 am

car.eeyore

Yes...we probably should steer the conversation elsewhere!

9:01 am

Scrabbler

But now I am getting anxious Car because you know the exact words that I will hear later

9:02 am

car.eeyore

It will be fine! You will start thinking of this chog and just start giggling!

9:03 am

mkg

pretie is not in dictionary. what is this dictionary anyway????????????so frustrating.

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I love my doc.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

What is that word, mkg?

9:04 am

car.eeyore

other phantoms: heretic, hectic

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I see those now too, Car.

9:05 am

mkg

there are scarves that are pre tied and you just slip them on. they are pretied scarves. maybe it must be with the d. but i assumed that as a very you could pretie something.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I see now, mkg.

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Take away the P for a word

9:06 am

Anniebrook

phantom: period

9:06 am

lawyer-1

so, why won't it accept pitter?

9:06 am

mkg

almost half way. darn. cant get to half way.

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Alas, so many phantoms to mess with our eyes today.

9:06 am

car.eeyore

Just to annoy you Lawyer! Tee hee!

9:07 am

Anniebrook

isnt pitter a hyphenated word as in pitter-patter

9:07 am

car.eeyore

C'mon MKG...Get 'er done!

9:07 am

SeaSpray

i tried pitter too, maybe because there is no patter

9:07 am

lawyer-1

i am surrounded with professionals to annoy me without having to deal with babble amateurs

9:07 am

9:07 am

9:07 am

Anniebrook

mkg, there is no list today

9:07 am

car.eeyore

9:08 am

Scrabbler

It is yesterday's Lickety's list and yesterday's grid also had 167 words.

9:08 am

lawyer-1

pitter is a machine for removing pits. check the dictionary

9:08 am

Scrabbler

You are right, SS.

9:08 am

mkg

but it says 2.23

9:08 am

car.eeyore

Yes Lawyer! You are correct! Kadresa uses one when she makes cherry pies!

9:08 am

lawyer-1

it's a conspiracy

9:08 am

mkg

would love clues for the 8s so i can get half way. i have fr and pr 8s. what are others?

I am still giving this game a chance. Though, I don't fully understand the babble clues. Just getting a handle on the scoring. I also don't understand why "pitter" is not accepted! lol

'hi, rubyfoo

10:30 am

I have a friend here whose real name is mongi!

So why isn't petri allowed. I thought that was the dish they grow bacteria in.

10:31 am

lol, rubyfoo! It is the name my grandson called me when he was little. I thought it was so cute. So, I like to use it in cyberspace. :)

10:31 am

I try it about once an hour

10:31 am

I dont understand why pitter isnt acceptted what about pitter patter. The words that it will accept or not make no sense to me Mongie

10:33 am

helensgirlkid

Isn't pitter-patter hyphenated? and I think that's a petrie dish.

10:34 am

Deeha

At last the voice of reason!!

10:34 am

helensgirlkid

But basically, if it isn't in Enable, it isn't a word as far as Dr. God is concerned. And the compiler(s) of Enable have,, shall we say, a few quirks.

10:34 am

mongie

helens ... I think you are right. Thx.

10:35 am

Deeha

Anyway dont talk to me about pitter patter it has pitter pattered outside my window for WEEKS!! Fed up with grey cloud and rain

10:35 am

Petrie doesn't work either

10:35 am

SeaSpray

would you rather have snow Dee?

10:35 am

It cracks me up to see all those obscure Hebrew and Jewish terms.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
methinks i may have found a photographer for the wedding!
*happy dance*

10:36 am

helensgirlkid

Maybe he thinks it's Petrie

10:37 am

helensgirlkid

I have no clue as to what is required for a name, like Tesla, to turn into tesla for Dr. Gdd's chosen dictionarist.

10:37 am

SeaSpray

Eva when is the wedding?

10:37 am

helensgirlkid

Wonderful Eva - get a binding contract at once!

10:37 am

Deeha

No not snow!! But I always think if ever I was to top myself it would be in February. Roll on Spring!!

10:37 am

EvaNadine

wedding is in october, SeaSpray.

10:37 am

SeaSpray

what date?

10:37 am

bichon

The clues page shows 167 words, but the clues are from yesterday?

10:37 am

SeaSpray

daughter is getting married on the 2nd

10:37 am

helensgirlkid

Yes, Bichon, and he has such odd notions of how to transliterate Yiddish.

10:38 am

EvaNadine

23rd here.

10:38 am

Deeha

What about all the archaic Scots words I dont suppose even a Scotsman would use them nowadays!!

10:38 am

SeaSpray

everything else lined up?

10:38 am

Flask1

for instance, Deeha???

10:39 am

Haz1558

I'll stand up for the Scots words, we use lots regularly. Thole and Thrawn and Gulpins and Hallions.

10:39 am

Flask1

nice one, Haz!!

10:39 am

helensgirlkid

Thanks to Dr. God, I got a clue in a mystery (requiring knowledge of "feu") way earlier than I could have done before babbling. So ther - it is useful!

10:39 am

EvaNadine

definitely wanna get a contract signed soon.
this is an acquaintance who i have actually worked with before, but i forgot she does the occasional wedding. turns out, shes trying to build up her portfolio + will be a FULL day for a mere $600!
she doesnt do the prints, but gives you a release to print as many of whatever you want -- and she will retouch any + all of the digital images for you too!

10:39 am

Deeha

Dont be so rude Haz!!!

10:39 am

bichon

And, the Scots words are always in crossword puzzles, handy to know

10:39 am

helensgirlkid

Gulpins?

10:39 am

Haz1558

And scunner. You can be a really fed up Scots when your're scunnered.

10:40 am

Haz1558

Gulpins and hallions are stupid/idiotic oafish men.

10:40 am

bichon

The Clues Page is not working?

10:40 am

Haz1558

And targes are cross women.

10:40 am

lovely word, that!

wow that's a bargain, everyone has quoted my daughter $1800

10:41 am

Haz1558

I don't get all that het up over the words that are and aren't accepted, it's just an artibrary thing.

10:41 am

helensgirlkid

Sorry - misspelled Petrie

10:41 am

bichon

how do I find Gremlin's profile?

10:41 am

helensgirlkid

Must stop - fingers and brain obviously no longer well connected.

10:42 am

helensgirlkid

Look gremlinn up in Rankings

10:42 am

EvaNadine

SeaSpray, from what ive found, even THAT is a bargain.
i was floored when she said that, and even asked her if she accidentally left off a zero!

turns out, she is only doing weddings for friends + people she knows...lucky me. :)

10:42 am

Haz1558

Go to rankings, do control F and type gremlinn (who is male, by the way), it will highlight his name, click on it and you get the profile.

10:43 am

movieman

ty Soodle, yes I'm still here

10:43 am

10:45 am

EvaNadine

my parents have a set amount of money to put toward the wedding, and most (if not all) of that will be put toward the caterer. fiance's family paid the venue rental fee, so not sure if they will put in any more.
everything else is all on us!

i want it nice, but not at the expense of being in debt + wedding-poor!

10:47 am

11:01 am

tammyssc

Now I live 15 miles from Clemson so I am part tiger part gamecock

11:01 am

Haz1558

Flask, if you have the ti6 (same structure as Mr Brosnan, the actor) put a consonant on the end.

11:02 am

bojazz

mothing wrong with that - my grandaughter plans to be a Tiger

11:02 am

lbdawger

11:04 am

Not too much nightlife in Clemson so that helps with studies! My son went to coastal carolina. Too many things get in the way in myrtle beach

hi flosey - congrats to the Canadian ice dancers - awesome

11:15 am

redturtlehead

I missed it but I was pleased to hear they won.

11:15 am

flosey

ty bojazz, we were all so very excited

11:16 am

flosey

ty red

11:16 am

bojazz

sorry i missed it - hear the performance was over the top!

11:16 am

redturtlehead

Canada is doing well in the Olympics. I know they say they are failing the "Own the podium" but, I think they have really done excellently.

11:17 am

bojazz

i'm cheering for Canada - 'cept when they are against the US

11:17 am

flosey

don't know who made that quote red, everyone I know is so very, very proud of our athletes - first time on home soil for gold

11:17 am

flosey

totally acceptable bojazz - that's loyalty

11:18 am

bojazz

adds excitement when the "home team" does well

11:18 am

flosey

sure does bo

11:18 am

redturtlehead

I think there has been a push for the Canadians withthe "Own the Podium" campaign, and somehow they expected more medals, but frankly, I see so many doing so well.

11:19 am

flosey

as I said red, I have no idea who is being so possessive - that is just plain greed, and takes away from the ones who are winning

11:19 am

redturtlehead

I agree.

11:20 am

redturtlehead

SOmetimes I think people just need something to say.

11:20 am

bojazz

except for some of the Russians, most seem to be team spirited for the games - they are quite the athletes

11:21 am

redturtlehead

ANy clue for the I in the right hand upper corner...?

11:21 am

dcseain

relating to the ir in the eye, red - ir6

11:22 am

redturtlehead

thanks DC.

11:22 am

flosey

in the past, there have been some competitions that have not been judged with total honesty, I think that has been corrected and all are being won fair and square

11:22 am

bojazz

ir6/21 - ir + theatre cr***

11:22 am

bojazz

too slow :(

11:23 am

bojazz

it's a crime when politics get involved in the judging

11:23 am

redturtlehead

For me, it has been an enjoyable olympics.

11:24 am

bojazz

think NBC could be much better in their job

11:24 am

redturtlehead

NPR did a story on nbc saying that it has failed to keep up with the way we consume media...

11:24 am

flosey

good to hear red, thanks, I haven't been over but daughter has been doing a lot of mingling with the crowds and says it is like Mardi Gras and a wonderful time

11:24 am

redturtlehead

I did enjoy the story on the snowboarder who crashed...how sad that was.

11:25 am

bojazz

tragic - i'm sure we haven't heard the end of that

11:25 am

flosey

that was the luge, wasn't it red, a trial run before the games opened

11:26 am

redturtlehead

No no Kevin Pearce, he crashed prior to Olympics and has had a terrible Brain injury.

11:26 am

redturtlehead

the Luge situation was also not good.

11:26 am

flosey

oh, sorry, yes, you're right

11:28 am

redturtlehead

I was really saddened to hear it, but I think he knew the risks of the half pipe..

11:28 am

bojazz

was not aware of that incident

11:28 am

flosey

right red, there are some sports I just don't watch

11:29 am

bojazz

what those young people do in the half pipe is AMAZING

11:30 am

bojazz

and the injury factor is way up there

11:30 am

redturtlehead

Bo, I dont think too many people were, as not too many follow half pipe. It was part of NBC's coverage, and I thought very nciely done. I really hope that he can learn to walk again.

11:30 am

redturtlehead

it is really fun to watch.

11:31 am

flosey

indeed red, hope he is able to recover

11:31 am

bojazz

Shawn White - is he from this planet? what a competitor

11:32 am

dcseain

Shaun White

11:32 am

flosey

getting away from Olympics, like the bungee jumping thing, daughter called me AFTER she tried it - and said once was enough

11:32 am

bojazz

oooops, sorry Shaun

11:33 am

redturtlehead

yes, and the injured man, Kevin actually beat Shaun White twice....

11:33 am

redturtlehead

Yes, Flosey your daughter is nuts!!!!

11:34 am

flosey

there are times I agree with you there red, she's a bit of a dare devil

11:34 am

bojazz

this is fun, but work beckons, so must return - a great day wish for you all - bbl

11:35 am

1:31 pm

Yes, ironing is one of the activities that gives great relaxation.

1:32 pm

Matches

ty dcseain. Got fireworks

1:33 pm

Nancy Boy

Ironing? Relaxing? I'm clumsy by nature - no way am I relaxed by having something that hot so close to my skin!

1:33 pm

EvaNadine

*snoggles NB*
(thats a sliding, snogging, tackle, BTW)

1:33 pm

jessmom

You are supposed to take the clothes off first, NB

1:34 pm

jessmom

:)

1:34 pm

periwinkle

I so not find ironing relaxing. I find nothing about homemaking/cleaning, etc. relaxing. but I do like it when everything is neat and clean

1:34 pm

stidgmere

Oh, Nancy I thnk it is the years of doing it and the burns acquired that make it a task one grows to enjoy.

1:34 pm

Nancy Boy

Eva!!!!!
(Leo's eyes just got pretty wide :D)

1:34 pm

periwinkle

I will never grow to enjoy ironing. thinking of shipping all my wrinkled clothes out to you, stidgmere :)

1:35 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL, Jess!

1:35 pm

dcseain

It was stressful at first, then it clicks, and is very relaxing in its precision, Nancy

1:35 pm

stidgmere

Well, I agree housework is always there. I do not take in additional ironing but will not comment when you wear wrinkled clothes.

1:36 pm

periwinkle

well since you are closer dc, I may send my wrinkled clothes to you then:)

1:36 pm

dcseain

have i said how much i dislike the neighbors in #202? I'm in my living room and can hear them - they're across the hall!

1:36 pm

Nancy Boy

Eva, Leo now sees you as his rival for my lurve

1:36 pm

periwinkle

ty stidgmere

1:36 pm

Atalante

I'm just sending mine to haz

1:36 pm

stidgmere

Was there a fireworks for Matches!! Hooray and congrats.

1:36 pm

Nancy Boy

You can send 'em to me, if you suit big holes

1:37 pm

EvaNadine

aww, im no competition.
*slinks away slowly*

1:37 pm

periwinkle

some people enjoy/like household chores and there are those of us who don't. we all know which group were are in

1:37 pm

Nancy Boy

*launches surprise snoggle attack upon Eva*
and the hunter becomes the hunted ;)

1:37 pm

jessmom

One of the first gifts I got from my future MIL was an iron. I should have beaten her son with it. At least it would have been used...

1:38 pm

periwinkle

my botanical drawing/painting class starts tonight. I am looking forward to it

1:38 pm

EvaNadine

*squeee!!*

1:38 pm

Atalante

oooo what fun peri!

1:38 pm

dcseain

I like tha water-based household chores - kitchens, baths, laundry. Would rather someone else vacuumed and dusted.

1:38 pm

dcseain

oh, enjoy, peri!

1:38 pm

dcseain

LOL jess

1:39 pm

stidgmere

Well, I think I'll take my 22 words and exit to play piano for a while. First grade children always prefered water-based also. Some coule have gone into the swamp-making business.

1:39 pm

periwinkle

I hate vacumming and dusting

1:39 pm

Nancy Boy

Jess! LOL

1:39 pm

periwinkle

1:39 pm

have fun, stidgmere, be well

1:39 pm

stidgmere

I am looking forward to seeing your paintings, peri. When do you have Spring Break?

1:41 pm

jessmom

What can I say, I love bashing the ex. I just found his Myspace page, where he proudly lists himself as 39, single and FEMALE. I'm still laughing, a week later!

1:41 pm

Atalante

LMAO!

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

for the record, NB, we lurve leo too!
we just dont actually, yknow...KNOW him yet. ;)

1:42 pm

Good Enough

once when my eldest was little, i was ironing and she exclaimed "did you ask daddy if you could use the iron!?"

1:42 pm

Atalante

Leo needs a babble account

1:42 pm

Good Enough

ironing obviously not high on my priority list

1:42 pm

dcseain

LOL good

1:43 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Eva! He's a little shy. He also claims he doesn't like word games. He prefers to hang over my shoulder and be infuriating by pointing out all the words I've missed ;)

1:43 pm

Nancy Boy

Good Engough!! I really did laugh out loud.

1:43 pm

EvaNadine

theres a word game here??

1:44 pm

Nancy Boy

It takes the eye of an outsider to find it ;)

1:44 pm

Nancy Boy

Also, Good Enough, sorry for gargling your name

1:45 pm

Good Enough

no offense NB :)

1:46 pm

Atalante

curling is the oddest oddest sport

1:47 pm

Nancy Boy

is curling the advanced mops 'n buckets on ice?

1:47 pm

dcseain

it started on frozen rivers in Canada

1:47 pm

Atalante

I think so!

1:48 pm

Atalante

it just *looks* odd. brooms and brushing

1:49 pm

Nancy Boy

that's the one! I don't understand the aim of the game, really. I assume they're very skilled but they may all just be laughing at us.

1:50 pm

Atalante

they all look very very serious about it

1:50 pm

EvaNadine

i think they just shuffle along constantly thinking "must clean the ice, must clean the ice, must clean the ice..."

1:50 pm

Atalante

it must be very scientific though

1:51 pm

dcseain

well, the broomers determine the path of the stone, and to a limited extent, how far it travels

1:51 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Eva. Maybe the babblers that find housework relaxing would enjoy this sport...

1:51 pm

Atalante

so how much does the actual "throw" of the stone matter?

1:51 pm

Good Enough

guess you can count me out

1:51 pm

dcseain

it determines overall trajectory and approximate distance

1:52 pm

Atalante

hmmmm

1:52 pm

Atalante

the UK women's curling captain is *gorgeous*. random intellectual comment!

1:54 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Ata. I find a lot of the winter olympics quite difficult to watch...the skiing makes me flinch back and I start to feel nauseous watching them! Ice skating too.

1:54 pm

EvaNadine

lots of people have been falling down in the winter olympics...
dunno if its like that every year, but i have noticed it a LOT this year...

1:55 pm

Atalante

love watching skiing though I hate skiing itself

1:55 pm

Boobear

1:55 pm

dcseain

hi, boo

1:56 pm

dcseain

i like watching downhill, but have no desire to do it.

1:56 pm

Atalante

loads of women fell on their downhill

1:56 pm

dcseain

and why is some of the snow blue? Some weird Canadian or IOC requirement for artificial snow?

1:57 pm

Atalante

course outline?

1:57 pm

Boobear

I watched the ice dancing last nite. I thought that Tanith and Ben were cheated out of the medals. The Russians were terrible and they got the bronze

1:57 pm

Nancy Boy

you're right Eva, there have been some spectacular crashes

1:58 pm

Atalante

ice dancing always generates controversy

1:59 pm

2:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

They loved to tell that story...my grandmother did an amazing job with a toothpick to save the day!!!

2:16 pm

MPittore

Good One Gwen!

hey all, has anyone posted a list?

3:50 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi all, back again. Got some world-class R.E.M on the TV in the background so should be here for a while :)

3:50 pm

dcseain

yay for REM, and WB, nancy

3:51 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks Seain :) LOVE that band

3:51 pm

dcseain

kim, yes, gremlin, jacula, and uneaxoise

3:51 pm

kim m

thanx

3:51 pm

dcseain

i was shocked at one point to realize i own their whole discography - apparently i was a fan LOL

3:53 pm

dcseain

¡ay, dios condénelo! i have a head cold

3:53 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Seain! I've been working on getting their discography, but doing it backwards...the DVD I'm watching now is so old, Stipe still has a big, curly ponytail...

3:54 pm

dcseain

LOL, i remember that.

3:55 pm

Nancy Boy

so, since you were so shocked (lol) to discover you were a fan, what other music are you into? :)

3:56 pm

dcseain

after REM, i own a lot of Madredeus, Live, Pink Martini, Alabina, Aterciopelados, Grapner, Bach, and Wagner

3:56 pm

dcseain

oh, and Mary Jane Lemond

3:59 pm

Nancy Boy

lots of artists I've never heard of - have I missed something big, or are you into the obscure?

4:00 pm

dcseain

Grapner, Bach, and Wager are classiclal composers. Pink Martini is a wonderful 12-piece plus vocalist out of Seatle, which i discovered by accident. Live has several well-known hits, but not a huge following.

4:00 pm

dcseain

mary jane lemond does scots music, out of Nova Scotia

4:00 pm

dcseain

Alabina is a combo of Los Hijos do Sara and Ishtar

4:01 pm

crosshair

lol im a lost cause im into,floyd,supertramp,boston,elo,dire straits,eric clapton,journey,steve perry(with or without journey lol) and on and on and on ;0

4:01 pm

dcseain

Madredeus is a Fado group out of Lisbon

4:01 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh no, well, I knew of the composers of course :) But I'm always looking for new music, so if you're keen to recommend the bands, then I'll give them all a listen

4:01 pm

dcseain

so, yes, obscure a lot of them :) Aterciopelados is punk out of Columbia

4:02 pm

dcseain

Pink Martini is one i totally recommend, and think you'll like. On YouTube, you should check out The Real Tuesday Weld

4:02 pm

crosshair

just turn that electric gi-tar up to 11 and pull the knobs off;)

4:02 pm

dcseain

oh, those are all nice, too, crossy.

4:04 pm

dcseain

if you like classical-style singing, Teresa Salgueiro is worth checking out - she's the female vocalist for Madredeus and has a very lovely, clean, crisp soprano voice.

4:04 pm

crosshair

lol crossy pictures dc moving crossy records around with tweezers,like they are road kill lol

4:05 pm

redturtlehead

with 55 left, I am lacking any more gumption...

4:06 pm

Nancy Boy

Will do Seain, thanks ;) but these bands better have huge back catalogues....'cause if I like a band, I go ALL the way, lol

4:06 pm

redturtlehead

Ok make that with 54 left...

4:06 pm

dcseain

of that lot, Madredeus has the largest, Pink Martini the smallest.

4:06 pm

dcseain

hiya, red

4:06 pm

dcseain

Live's is pretty large, too, come to think of it.

4:09 pm

Nancy Boy

I realise that, red

6:18 pm

ADHDWordLover

i usually use the list close to flip when i know i can't finish; or if i can't be around to finish

6:18 pm

redturtlehead

I usually go to it when I have 30-40 or so left. but none today, so I am at 44 left...

6:19 pm

ADHDWordLover

it's more fun to do what you can by yourself; cannot understand the use of morewords... i welcome the challenge

6:19 pm

hurshy

3 go words or 4?

6:19 pm

jillibus

soryy, but I use the list all the time. I'd get nowhere without it.

ADHDWordLover

my icon is still showing movieman's birthday... do you see that? or do you see Little Chef?

6:21 pm

chacun à son goût :)

6:21 pm

hurshy

sometimes i'd ruther use the list to find out what i'm missing, and sometimes i'd ruther bug y'all to find out. but i kin always switch if it is bothersome.

6:22 pm

jillibus

I see Little Chef, AD -- had to go out and comeback in to get it.

6:27 pm

ski cross is madness -- like motocross on skis

6:28 pm

jillibus

ski cross is 4 skiers racing at the same time over big hill sort of things, like snowboard cross

6:28 pm

bichon

I always have my eye out for figure skating, which, so far has been great! I am keeping my fingers crossed for Kim Yuna

6:28 pm

redturtlehead

this course had 2 halfpipes, some of the smaller women had a hard time getting over them due to their light weight...

6:28 pm

bichon

I saw ski cross last night for the men. Looked like roller derby on skis

6:28 pm

redturtlehead

I like Rachel Flatt, I do not like how everyone keeps calling her un-glamorous, she is only 17 after all...

6:29 pm

hurshy

6:29 pm

jillibus

aka Yuna Kim -- and she trains in Canada with Canadian Brian Orser

6:29 pm

Rachel's a great skater, but she's not a media draw. She's rock solid though

6:29 pm

ADHDWordLover

gotta run... hubs is done snowblowing... i should feed him, no?

6:29 pm

redturtlehead

I think I actually just like her because she seems rather unaffected, and grounded.

6:29 pm

bichon

I wonder how Joannie Rochette is going to be able to stand up for the thousands of Canadian fans going gaga

6:30 pm

redturtlehead

BUt Kim Yuna....also seems quite sweet...

6:30 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I think that will just be awful for her (rochette that is)...

6:30 pm

jillibus

I hope Joannie Rochette does well -- what courage she has in adversity!

6:30 pm

bichon

Mirai Nagasu is such an emotional skater

6:31 pm

redturtlehead

She has a floaty quality, Mirai does. I have tried to follow these things better this year.

6:31 pm

hurshy

got it!

6:31 pm

bichon

Kim Yna was a brow-beaten Asian skater before she teamed up with Brian Orser. He's done wonders with her. I hope she getsthe gold and he does too.

6:31 pm

hurshy

only 3 T's left now!!!!

6:31 pm

bichon

Any questions you have about figure skating, I probably know the answer

6:31 pm

jillibus

gogogo hurshy!!!

6:32 pm

hurshy

where can i get a video recording of lucinda ruh, bichon?

6:32 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I gathered that she had been pressured quite a bit from the bit on NBC, that sort of said her mother pushed her quite a bit.

6:32 pm

jillibus

have you done a lot of it, bichon?

6:32 pm

hurshy

i bet you don't know that answer!

6:32 pm

bichon

NO, but my daughter was a competitive skater in her youth

6:32 pm

redturtlehead

Bichon is the hub of skating information!

6:32 pm

bichon

I've been a fan since Carol Heiss won gold at Squaw Valley in 1960

6:33 pm

bichon

I'm that old

6:33 pm

redturtlehead

LOL, I have not been alive that long.

6:33 pm

jillibus

I've been a fan since Sonja Henie (sp?), lol!

6:34 pm

redturtlehead

I do hope the USA does well in the skating, I dont know why exactly.

6:34 pm

bichon

Okay Jilli, that make you older than my Mom

6:34 pm

jillibus

watched Barbara Ann Scott on black & white TV

6:35 pm

hurshy

when were torville & dean?

6:35 pm

jillibus

how old is your Mom, bichon?

6:35 pm

bichon

The US did well to get a gold in the men and a silver in Dance. I'm content. American women used to be on top, but Asian skaters have seemed to have taken over

6:35 pm

redturtlehead

I watched everything on a black and white TV until I got a TV as an adult...

6:35 pm

bichon

My Mom was born in 1924

6:35 pm

jillibus

T&D were in the 70s I think -- Google will tell us

6:35 pm

redturtlehead

80's?

6:35 pm

jillibus

she's older than I am then, bichon, by 3 years.

6:35 pm

bichon

I remember watching the O's on TV and then there was no VCR and I couldn't watch it again

6:36 pm

bichon

T&D won in 1984

6:36 pm

redturtlehead

I think the torvill and dean were the 80's.

6:36 pm

jillibus

Skating is starting on SportsNet here

6:36 pm

bichon

Jilli, you were born in 1927 and you're still Babbling. An inspiration to me

6:37 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I wish it were here.

6:37 pm

hurshy

ok, i been a fan for about that long then. i mean, my grandfather ice dances, so theoretically i have been a fan longer, but that's my first memory of watching professionals.

6:37 pm

bichon

I only get the O's on NBC.

6:37 pm

redturtlehead

thats neat hurshy.

6:37 pm

hurshy

what is the point total today?

6:37 pm

redturtlehead

there is some stuff on USA bichon.

6:37 pm

jillibus

You're right, T&D's Bolero was at the 1984 Olympics

6:38 pm

hurshy

my grandfather is in his 80

6:38 pm

redturtlehead

bichon, about the skating tonight, will the top girls be doing the same programmes essentially that they did at the nationals, etc?

6:38 pm

Jacula

2271, hursh.

6:38 pm

hurshy

in his 80's, has had quadruple bypass surgery, and still he skates

6:38 pm

jillibus

2271 pts

6:38 pm

bichon

If I watch the skating on my DVR I don't have to watch those very stupid commercials

6:38 pm

Jacula

Hello everyone.:-)

6:38 pm

hurshy

thank you

6:38 pm

bichon

Sweet hurshy

6:38 pm

jillibus

hi jac :)

6:39 pm

Jacula

Hi jilli.

6:39 pm

redturtlehead

Helo Jacula.

6:39 pm

Jacula

Hi red.

6:39 pm

hurshy

i wish the skating commentators wouldn't tell us that people have already performed this routine at other competitions. it would be nicer if i could maintain the mental fiction that it's as new to everyone as it is to me.

6:39 pm

redturtlehead

bichon did you see my question>

6:40 pm

redturtlehead

I kind of forgot that and was surprised to see the ice dancers doing the same routienes from the nationals or worlds competitons...

6:41 pm

redturtlehead

anyone else seeing lettuce?

6:41 pm

hurshy

even if i HAD seen them before, i wouldn't be able to tell, most likely. i mean unless it was REALLY unusual.

6:41 pm

Bugsaw

Hello everyone

6:41 pm

hurshy

i'm seeing lettice...

6:41 pm

jillibus

oh ye, red, lol!

6:41 pm

bichon

Skaters generally get one program per year. It takes lots of time to learn a program and get a full grasp on the choreography

6:41 pm

jillibus

hi bugs!

6:41 pm

hurshy

bugsaw's pic looks like lettuce

6:41 pm

Jacula

I'm pleased to report a virtually clean bill of health after my ECG tests and treadmill tests at the hospital earlier. These were ordered in the wake of my Mum being diagnosed with angina the other week. I was also relieved to have beat Mum's 6 minutes on the treadmill, since she's 75 and I'm 52!:-)

6:41 pm

hurshy

good for you jac

6:42 pm

hurshy

done at last!

6:42 pm

Bugsaw

Good job Jac.

6:42 pm

jillibus

bugsaw's pic is still Murano beads ;)

6:42 pm

bichon

a skater will switch a program if the new one isn't working, but that's usually not the case

6:42 pm

redturtlehead

good job jacula! that treadmill test is nice until they crank up the incline!

6:42 pm

Jacula

hursh - a lettuce trapped in a sweetjar.

6:42 pm

jillibus

YAY hurshy!!!

6:42 pm

bichon

Nice news Jacula

6:42 pm

Bugsaw

Yay Hurshy

6:42 pm

redturtlehead

thats what I thought bichon. I am definitely going to enjoy it tonight.

6:43 pm

Jacula

I told my son they pronounced me 'fit as a fiddle' and he looked me up and down and said, 'funny shaped fiddle'. 'Humph!' I said. 'Okay, fit as a cello.'

6:43 pm

Bugsaw

Sorry jilli, but you are correct. I was away for the weekend and didn't play. Then last night I went to bed early without looking up what it was supposed to be today. I like your icon tho!

6:44 pm

Jacula

Well done, hursh.

6:44 pm

redturtlehead

jacs its good news whatever string instrument you resemble!!!

6:44 pm

redturtlehead

congrats hursh!

6:44 pm

Jacula

red - yes. I just need to cut down on the wine. My trigylerates were high.

6:45 pm

jillibus

Well, bugs, unfortunately I've only seen one Pixar movie, and that was Finding Nemo, on TV. I rarely go to the movies -- spend too much time babbling and playing bridge.

6:45 pm

redturtlehead

well jac, I dont drink at all, I promise my life is still good...lolol.

6:46 pm

redturtlehead

Jilli, the gold medal is perfect. Its something to celebrate.

6:46 pm

redturtlehead

I'm proud of the silver winners too.

6:46 pm

Jacula

*triglycerates

6:46 pm

jillibus

triglycerides is what they're called here

6:47 pm

Jacula

jilli - that's probably it. I was typing the word from memory.

6:47 pm

Bugsaw

I didn't even know what pixars were and was too tired to find out!

6:47 pm

jillibus

thanks, red -- I felt that way after aour drought!

6:48 pm

redturtlehead

bugs My icon is just a green heron photo I took. I should get with the program occasionally.

6:48 pm

Jacula

Bug - I've looked at your icon again and it's 'definitely' a lettuce trapped in a sweet jar.:-)

6:48 pm

Bugsaw

I just watched a poor man from the Netherlands, who has never lost this race since 2007, set a record and then be disqualified because his coach told him to go in the wrong lane. What heartbreak!

6:48 pm

jillibus

Was it a fun weekend, bugs?

6:49 pm

Jacula

Oh, poor man! My son's g/f from Netherlands, who is staying here at the moment, will not be pleased.

6:49 pm

jillibus

I saw that, bugs -- terrible!

6:50 pm

Bugsaw

I did like the icon Jac, but I won't pay that kind of money for one bead!

6:50 pm

Jacula

It does seem rather expensive, Bug.

6:51 pm

redturtlehead

when these things happen it is so upsetting.... the DQing.

6:51 pm

Bugsaw

I had a wonderful weekend in Victoria jilli. The weather was lovely and I enjoyed celebrating a 13th birthday, the expected birth of a baby, lots of grandkids and my friend's new home.

6:52 pm

Jacula

How's everyone getting on with the grid? The stats are in my profile if needed. My Other Half called me in earlier to say that people needed a list and were looking to either myself or Jilli to provide it.

6:52 pm

redturtlehead

39 left for me, very slow going....but I dont usually use the list until now...

6:52 pm

jillibus

Glad you have the list in your profile, jac -- mine is too cluttered with other stuff

6:53 pm

Jacula

red - well, it's there if you need it.

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

Bugs, congrats on a new birth!!!

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

thanks jacs

6:54 pm

jillibus

bugs, the weather has been wonderful indeed, but it seems it's back to wet normal now. Snowing madly on Cypress, though :)

6:55 pm

Jacula

We've had snow again here today, but it's stopped snowing for the moment and has mostly melted. The Scottish Highlands are going to cop for most of it this week, which probably means my poor cousin will be trapped at home again. She's getting fed up with it now!

6:56 pm

Jacula

jilli - I still keep reading your description of the compiler of Enable. I giggle every time.

6:58 pm

jillibus

:-)

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

can I get help with the H words. I have the part of the foot and the plant...

7:00 pm

Jacula

he6/21 - almost the surname of James, a famous Yorkshire vet 'All Creatures Great & Small'. Or try he + 4-letter word for public disorder.

7:00 pm

bichon

Think of the vet from All Creatures Great and Small

7:00 pm

redturtlehead

TY, is there another?

7:00 pm

Jacula

he7/32 - a beneficiary of a will, more often seen with 'in' as a prefix?

7:01 pm

redturtlehead

oooh I always miss that one thanks jac! and thanks bichon and jac

7:01 pm

jillibus

he7 usually starts with in -- one who gets property from the deceased

7:01 pm

redturtlehead

thanks Jilli. my H is gray! yaya!

7:01 pm

jillibus

wtg red -- jac's clue was more succinct ;)

7:02 pm

Jacula

Phew! I thought for a moment there that I'd typed 'pubic disorder'. That'd be one in need of waxing, I guess?:-D

7:02 pm

redturtlehead

I did that the other day...

7:02 pm

Jacula

What, typed pubic instead of public or got waxed??

7:02 pm

jillibus

back in a bit...

7:03 pm

redturtlehead

typed...

7:03 pm

Jacula

See you soon, jilli.

7:03 pm

redturtlehead

I try not to share such details on the chat.

7:03 pm

Jacula

LOL red, I thought it must be that or we'd have heard the screams.

7:05 pm

Jacula

It's a common typing error, red, along with 'Dead Sir' instead of 'Dear Sir'.

7:05 pm

MPittore

I'm back...had to go pick up my Toyota avalon got all the recalls fixed...then we went to 1/2 price pizza night...yummy! 86 left

7:05 pm

redturtlehead

dead sir is a bad way to address anyone.

7:05 pm

redturtlehead

hi MPitt.

7:05 pm

redturtlehead

My toyota has not been called in for fixing...but so far it has been fine fine.

7:05 pm

MPittore

hi red...

7:06 pm

MPittore

I'm thinking I might have to look at the clues...getting harder for me...

7:06 pm

Jacula

red - indeed it is! Back in the times of typewriters without correcting ribbon, if you didn't have skill with a typewriter eraser you had to type the whole letter again - as the ladies who worked for me frequently found out.

7:07 pm

Jacula

Hi MPit.

7:08 pm

MPittore

Red...several models have been recalled for things...you can go online and check yours...we are taking my inlaes in for them tomorrow...they are in their eighties but have lots of health issues so we help them with most things...trying to keep them indipendant as long as possible...not easy...

7:08 pm

MPittore

Hi Jac...

7:08 pm

redturtlehead

My car has been recalled, but I have to wait for a letter from the dealer for a time to come for repairs.

7:08 pm

MPittore

oops *inlaws

7:08 pm

Jacula

Luckily for them, if they hadn't ham-fistedly taken most of the surface off the paper trying to erase the 'd', I could usually sort it out for them. All they had to do then was align the paper properly again and type in the 'r'. I often found it best to do that, too. *sighs*

7:09 pm

redturtlehead

i have a 2009 Prius- I think.

7:09 pm

MPittore

good grief another * independant...gotta get a new keyboard with letters on it....

7:09 pm

redturtlehead

It may be a 2008.

7:09 pm

redturtlehead

my Mom made me do typing in high school, I am now glad of it.

7:09 pm

MPittore

red you crack me up...you're not sure? I think the Prius' have some recalls also...

7:09 pm

Jacula

red - it's still a skill worth having.

7:10 pm

Jacula

Oh, I see the fox has visited and eaten the 3 slices of out-of-date ham on offer tonight.

7:10 pm

redturtlehead

I bought it new, but I have no idea what year it is....i bought it under a lot of duress.

7:11 pm

redturtlehead

the prius has some gas pedal issue and apparently some cars from some years have a braking issue. but I have not had any issues.

7:11 pm

kje

i cannot type

7:11 pm

kje

hello all

7:11 pm

Jacula

Hi kje.

7:11 pm

kje

and yes, who knew! it is a needed skill in medicine

7:12 pm

Jacula

red - best to get it checked out by a garage you know and trust, so they don't tell you things need doing when they don't.

7:12 pm

sixty7stang13

hello all

7:12 pm

MPittore

yes it is but I have to sit in a funny way because of this room so I don't sit right in front of the keyboard and it throws me off....oh my..oh dear...I want to move our office upstairs to a small bedroom and make this a guest bedroom/doll room/game room...but I have many boxes of that stuff packed and right behind me so that's what makes it difficult...I need to get motivated...the winter gives me the blahs sometimes...LOL

7:12 pm

kje

hi 60

7:13 pm

7:15 pm

MPittore

Yes Red we called the dealership here in Maryland and they were all prepped and so organized they gave us an appointment can you believe it just like a doctor we took it at 12:00 noon and had it back by 5:00 they are marvelous. Apparently all the dealers have the fixes now.

7:16 pm

redturtlehead

well, kje, just keep the other in mind, after all, you will dye hair on a day when no feats are being celebrated...you will have time.

7:16 pm

7:23 pm

PinnyPoppins

7:25 pm

redturtlehead

LOL. I have actually worked at some of our nations best hospitals, but for now I am in the backwater of Florida Hospital and finding it much less stressful...

7:25 pm

Jacula

kje - not heard of that fish.

7:25 pm

PinnyPoppins

*internal* communications - is corporate communications with a focus on internal stakeholders - tends to deal more with employee engagement and retention than with PR

7:25 pm

redturtlehead

We tend to deal with limbs that are already injured, so its easy to tell the good one from the bad!!!

7:25 pm

kje

also called red trout, jac

7:25 pm

PinnyPoppins

used to write tv shows and then moved into corporate writing a few years back

7:25 pm

Jacula

Pinny - thanks for explaining. Sorry to sound so nosey.

7:25 pm

i think in europe it is mostly scandinavian fish

7:26 pm

PinnyPoppins

7:26 pm

PinnyPoppins

blame it on severe luddite-ism

7:26 pm

redturtlehead

We do like some colour pinny

7:27 pm

Ah, trout! I love trout. Brown river trout or rainbow trout caught in a lake, knocked on the head, gutted and then cooked in butter is one of the tastiest breakfasts I remember from childhood.
