We have had such a mild and wet spring and summer - aiming for 38 on NYE but that will be the one and only hot day so far
2:16 am
lynxxx

night dfm, sleep well
2:16 am
Haz1558

The weather seems to have been strange all over. Russia has had unseasonably warm temperatures. Something to do with air streams. (Just nod and look wise, it's what I do)
2:18 am
dizgrannie

lynxx, we had one day of 38, about 2 weeks ago. Has rained here nearly everyday so far this month. The past 2 days have had slippers on in the arvo.
2:19 am
Haz1558

It sounds like a typical British summer except the temperatures would be lower.
2:19 am
lynxxx

hi DizG, similar down here but hadn't got a high 30 b4
2:20 am
Haz1558

Is it making everyone very dispirited?
2:21 am
dizgrannie

the way it has been, have had to get jumpers out, although Chrissie Day wasn't too bad for a changed, usually tooo hot or tooo wet...LOL
2:21 am
lynxxx

Oh no, it's great! shorts are all the go this year and the mild weather hasn't stopped all the girls wearing them at all
2:22 am
dizgrannie

Nah not dispirited, just want the weather to be whatever the season is supposed to be...if that makes sense...LOL
2:22 am
Haz1558

Well that's good. I'd hate to think of the Australians weeping for the lack of heat.
2:23 am
dizgrannie

LOL Haz...NEVER
2:23 am
lynxxx

and, and, I did some gardening out front and planted a few things - and then I WATERED the garden at about 5pm - the 1st time we have been allowed to do that for about 3 years!
2:23 am
Haz1558

I suppose too much heat is even more dispiriting.
2:24 am
Haz1558

The last time we had water restrictions here (in NI) was 1976.
2:24 am
dizgrannie

lynxx, I know I have prolly asked before, but where abouts are yo?
2:25 am
lynxxx

We are still getting over the dreadful bushfires of 18 months ago, a hot hot summmer would make everyone nervous and uneasy down here too. Melbourne DizG
2:26 am
Haz1558

True, it's not just the temperatures in themselves that are hard to cope with, it's the consequences as well.
2:26 am
dizgrannie

our water restrictions have been lifted as well, and silly neighbours are out hosing plants/gardens in the hottest time of day...tis best to leave it till late arvo when sun goes down.
2:28 am
Atalante

Haz!! La Spanglettinettarina!
2:29 am
Haz1558

Ata! Hobbitellacinderellaredridinghood!
2:29 am
Haz1558

I hear you surprised FM yesterday. She was worried that you would notice she hadn't got her false eye and her dentures in.
2:30 am
Atalante

she did a *brilliant* double take at the door
2:30 am
Haz1558

That'll be her lack of eye!
2:30 am
lynxxx

lol
2:31 am
crystalle

any clues for po5 and po6
2:32 am
Atalante

brb dog pesting
2:32 am
Haz1558

Add a vowel to the financially short po4.
2:32 am
Haz1558

And then plural.
2:33 am
crystalle

thankyou hazel
2:33 am
Haz1558

You're welcome.
2:33 am
lynxxx

Crystalle - do you know the word some aboriginals call themselves ko5. po 5 is the same
2:33 am
lynxxx

sorry, too long winded
2:34 am
crystalle

oh i have that one .. thanks anyway lynnx
2:36 am
crystalle

and actually i had no idea that ko5 word was also a word for aboriginals. maybe i need to look up aussie culture
2:36 am
Atalante

back
2:36 am
Haz1558

Did you get a good look round, Ata? Is she living in a suitable neighbourhood?
2:37 am
Atalante

she had a look outside, saw it was raining and decided that maybe her need for a wee wasn't that great after all
2:37 am
Haz1558

FM?
2:38 am
Atalante

oh that was Hobbit lol, FM definitely lives in a good neighbourhood!
2:38 am
lynxxx

thank heavens - I thought she was talking about FM!
2:38 am
Haz1558

Oh, Hobbit? Goodness, I had a fleeting image of FM opening the door, doing a double take, checking for rain etc etc. That WOULDN'T be a suitable neighbourhood.
2:39 am
crystalle

does anyone have sh word that is not a sh** wedding or sh+ thats where i am **
2:39 am
Atalante

she has lots of birds in her garden and a church at the back
2:39 am
Haz1558

You didn't find the cleaner polishing her bibelots?
2:40 am
crystalle

actually the s word that is third bottom but not the two sh ones i just listed
2:40 am
Haz1558

I don't, crystalle, sorry.
2:40 am
Atalante

no cleaner. there were wellies in her living room
2:40 am
crystalle

i wonder if i even make sense lol
2:41 am
Haz1558

Oooh. Did someone make a quick escape to avoid detection and leave his wellies behind?
2:41 am
Haz1558

Or do you mean a cleaner would have shifted the wellies?
2:42 am
Atalante

ooo maybe. I'm sure you could get over the back fence to make a get-away. Maybe the second, but I like the first better
2:43 am
Haz1558

We shall entitle it 'The case of the ownerless wellies'
2:44 am
Atalante

sounds suitably intriguing
2:44 am
Haz1558

I see Miss Marple being the one to solve it. She likes villages and church settings.
2:44 am
Atalante

yes, FM's place is very Miss Marple-esque
2:45 am
Atalante

or Midsomer
2:45 am
lynxxx

Darn - shazam isn't accepted
2:45 am
Haz1558

Too many bodies in Midsomer. It's a bloodbath there.
2:45 am
Atalante

amazing anyone's still alive
2:46 am
Haz1558

Did you see any interesting village characters?
2:47 am
Atalante

only some collared doves. Though I think FM could now be classed as an "interesting village character"
2:48 am
Haz1558

She's bound to be. They'll have been whispering behind their newspapers about the newcomer with the wellies in the living room but she's probably well accepted now.
2:49 am
Atalante

absolutely. wellies in the living room and a sports car. something fishy there
2:49 am
Haz1558

Her redeeming feature is that she feeds the birds. You can't be too sinister if you feed birds.
2:50 am
Atalante

it's all a ploy ...
2:50 am
Haz1558

A front.
2:51 am
Atalante

she has a Shed in the back garden
2:51 am
Haz1558

Well, that's proof positive of shady dealings.
2:51 am
Atalante

absolutely
2:51 am
Haz1558

Maybe that's where the owner of the wellies was hiding.
2:52 am
crystalle

older ladies need a shed to make all the poisons they get from the plants they grow and they need wellies to bury victims in
2:52 am
Atalante

oo maybe
2:52 am
crystalle

they need wellies cos they go out in mud and such
2:53 am
Atalante

she did look a bit dishevelled ....
2:53 am
Haz1558

I wonder who FM's victim(s) might be?
2:53 am
FMitch

err Good? morning.
2:53 am
crystalle

not suggesting that fm is a murderer with poison being her weapon of choice odcourse
2:53 am
Atalante

LMAO :)
2:54 am
Haz1558

Almost in the PB there, FM. (quick, change the subject)
2:54 am
FMitch

Do I need to get my lawyers to check the chat?
2:54 am
Atalante

we're just taking your name in vain, don't worry!
2:55 am
FMitch

Ah nothing new there then *grin*
2:55 am
FMitch

It is +5 this morning, positively tropical.
2:55 am
lynxxx

morning FM (note how I was saying nothing...oops halo slipping)
2:56 am
Atalante

just suggesting you've been making poisons in your garden shed and murdering people and stealing their wellies
2:56 am
crystalle

i have 33 left and have hit a brick wall. see you all later
2:56 am
Haz1558

Bye, crystalle.
2:56 am
FMitch

lol Hi lynxxx and bye crystalle
2:56 am
lynxxx

bye crystalle
2:58 am
Haz1558

So, how are you, FM? Tolerably well?
2:59 am
FMitch

Not too bad at all. I have recovered from the coronary that Ata gave me yesterday and will be forraying forth soon.
Have you still snow?
3:00 am
Haz1558

Snow is all gone, thank goodness.
3:00 am
Atalante

:D
3:00 am
Haz1558

Just think, FM, you never know who you're going to see when you open the door.
3:01 am
FMitch

That is good news indeed Haz. Some semblence of normailty can return.
3:01 am
FMitch

Never opening it again.
3:01 am
Haz1558

You need to get one of those spyholes fitted.
3:02 am
lynxxx

Ooops better get going (daylight saving still confusing me) Going to see The Kings Speech tonite. Bye all
3:02 am
FMitch

Bye lynxxx
3:02 am
Haz1558

Bye, lynxxx. Enjoy!
3:03 am
Atalante

you did a *wonderful* double take at the door
3:03 am
FMitch

I bet I did, I'm not very good with surprises but it was lovely to see you tho.
3:04 am
Atalante

I would have hated for anyone to do that to me, I must admit, but I really didnt know till that morning that I was going to be there
3:05 am
FMitch

Just finished sucky duck so I had better get on with the day, am saving the grid for after errands etc are done.

HAve fun you two and might see you later.
3:05 am
Atalante

*hugs hugs*
3:06 am
Haz1558

See you later, FM! We'll not let anybody talk about you while you're gone.
3:06 am
FMitch

*grin and poof*
3:07 am
Haz1558

So, about FM...
3:07 am
Atalante

just wait for a few minutes to make sure she's gone .......
3:08 am
Haz1558

Good thinking.
3:08 am
sandrafrances

Morning all how many words today please
3:08 am
Haz1558

195 today.
3:09 am
sandrafrances

Thanks
3:15 am
Atalante

I want origami and grimoire
3:20 am
Haz1558

I want tomato.
3:21 am
Atalante

and gnomon
3:25 am
Haz1558

I forgot to ask, how is your gran doing?
3:26 am
Atalante

she's ok ... still in hospital and probably not going home, but into a care home in a few weeks. But she's ok, just looking very old
3:26 am
Haz1558

Is she in bed or is she able to be up and about?
3:27 am
Atalante

she can wander, but not out of the ward, but there's just *nothing* to do there, it would drive me up the wall, but she's (luckily) always been content to just sit and watch the world
3:28 am
Haz1558

If she's contented in herself, that's good and maybe there'll be a bit more stimulation wherever she finally moves.
3:30 am
Haz1558

She still knows you and is able to converse?
3:30 am
Atalante

went down to see her yesterday, hence going back right next to FM, she said that seeing me was the best christmas present she'd ever had - aww! Then spent 30 minutes telling me about a presenter she listened to but couldn't remember his name on radio 2
3:31 am
Haz1558

Question asked and answered!
3:31 am
Atalante

but I did hear everything 3 times over in half an hour :)
3:32 am
Haz1558

That can get wearying. Husband's great-aunt used to ask constantly if her mother was dead. The great-aunt was about 87 at this stage..
3:33 am
Haz1558

After many requests to know whether Mother was dead, Husband's father finally exploded 'Don't name Mother to me again!'
3:33 am
Haz1558

Slight pause and then 'Is mother dead?'
3:34 am
Haz1558

It's sad and funny and maddening all at the same time.
3:34 am
Atalante

it really can, and that's the part I find really hard to deal with - the fact that I find it really hard to stay with her for a long time without wanting to screech. I love her so much, it's so hard to find her difficult to be around
3:34 am
Haz1558

But it's because you're emotionally attached to her and want her to be as she was.
3:34 am
hurshy

hi
3:35 am
Haz1558

Hello, hurshy.
3:35 am
hurshy

*hug* for ata
3:35 am
rubyfoo

good morning everybody
3:35 am
Atalante

I just always feel like I should stay there all day with her, when really an hour is all I can manage, and I hate that!
3:35 am
Atalante

hi smurshy!
3:35 am
hurshy

ata, do you think she would really feel better if you were there all day, or is that just guilt with no basis?
3:36 am
Haz1558

But your gran isn't going to know how long you were there. You came, it was lovely for her and she was happy.
3:36 am
Atalante

Haz said it - I really don't think she'd know if I was there for 2 minutes or all day
3:36 am
Atalante

she thinks she's been in hospital for 2 years apparently when it's 2 weeks ish
3:37 am
hurshy

hospital time is like narnia time...
3:37 am
Atalante

how's your dad, smurshy?
3:37 am
Haz1558

I think you just have to live with those moments you have with her when she knows that she's in the presence of someone who knows and loves her. She'll maybe not remember later, but for that time, it's lovely for her.
3:39 am
hurshy

he's well. he got out of the hospital thursday. it's weird cause i thought i would be spending lots of time with him but then, he sleeps a lot and has low energy so he doesn't actually need people to do stuff with, he just needs his hogan's heroes videos.
3:39 am
Atalante

yes ... and I just have to remember to be very rational about it, and not emotional, because I *know* she's fine there, and wouldn't even want me to be sad / anxious / worried, it's just awful to think about
3:39 am
rubyfoo

uh oh, look whose name is in the grid, as usual
3:39 am
Atalante

well that's good low-maintenance recovery :)
3:40 am
Haz1558

It's good he's making progress, hurshy, he'll build up his strength gradually.
3:40 am
hurshy

yeah, i mean, now that he knows he's going to be ok, and can go back to his job later, he's handling things fine. AND he's become willing to see a counselor, which is huge, because he needed one before anyway!
3:41 am
Atalante

what happens when he runs out of hogan's heroes? :P
3:41 am
Atalante

hi ruby!
3:41 am
Haz1558

Poor man, first an aneurysm and now a counsellor. His world's being turned upside down.
3:41 am
hurshy

he starts them over, ata.
3:42 am
rubyfoo

husband is finally getting INTO his fossils. I got a big box of assorted (mostly fragments but a few good ones) at an auction and he is delighted!
3:42 am
Haz1558

I've never watched Hogan's Heroes but I'm guessing Action and Adventure?
3:42 am
Atalante

excellent! to both hurshy and ruby :)
3:42 am
hurshy

no, the counselor will be a really good thing. he realized that he bottles things up and the stress helped lead to this and i think he feels GOOD about getting help.
3:43 am
hurshy

hogan's heroes is an old sitcom about a group of POWs in nazi germany. i know, how can that be a sitcom? but it is.
3:43 am
Haz1558

Bottling up stress is okay up to a point but he's obviously got beyond that point.
3:43 am
KatieSue91

ha6,36?
3:44 am
Haz1558

One of the most successful sitcoms over here was about the Home Guard in England. It seemed like a strange idea but it worked.
3:44 am
Atalante

well sucky duck wasn't very hard
3:45 am
Haz1558

ha6/36 is a plural
3:45 am
hurshy

they made the guy in charge of the camp a buffoon, so that probably made the viewers feel good.
3:45 am
rubyfoo

what is sucky duck? is it like spotted dick?
3:45 am
KatieSue91

Oh thanks lol
3:45 am
Haz1558

Yes, standard comedy is to make the person in charge to be daft.
3:46 am
Atalante

not only Dad's Army, but Allo Allo too
3:46 am
Haz1558

Yes, even Herr Flick was laughable in his sinisterness.
3:47 am
Atalante

very
3:47 am
hurshy

did you love the doctor who christmas special, ata? i did! they finally gave it to us on the same day as you on BBC america! i hope they continue that when the new season starts!
3:48 am
Atalante

I'm not sure .... loved the shark, didn't like the Dickens, didnt like Katherine Jenkins
3:48 am
hurshy

ah, well, i love dickens.
3:49 am
Atalante

yes, I know .... :P
3:49 am
Haz1558

Don't tell me Katharine Jenkins got onto Dr Who!
3:49 am
Haz1558

Is there no programme safe from her?
3:49 am
Atalante

she did! It was awful!
3:50 am
hurshy

but as i am sentimental and dickens is sentimental, i sort of wished the doctor would have gone back in time to when he shut her up for years and cured the girl and they could get married. and as i have never seen this jenkins woman before, she was just a woman to me.
3:50 am
Haz1558

She even got on Sports Personality of the Year. She must have some dreadful blackmail plot against the BBC.
3:50 am
Atalante

she Sang
3:50 am
Haz1558

She's always introduced as an opera star even though she's never done any proper operas.
3:51 am
Atalante

it was great dr who and then it turned into Katherine Jenkins singing with a bit of dr who on the bit
3:51 am
Haz1558

She always sings. Bad weather prevented her getting to Afghanistan, it's the only thing that can stop her.
3:52 am
Atalante

you probably haven't seen monty pythn and the holy grail, have you Haz?
3:53 am
hurshy

i guess i am lucky not to have seen her before! the novelty allowed me to find her singing lovely.
3:54 am
Haz1558

No, I haven't, Ata.
3:54 am
Haz1558

I don't object to her singing, I object to her being dragged in to sing on any and every occasion.
3:55 am
Haz1558

There are probably lots of singers just as good, but she is pretty as well and so she is favoured.
3:55 am
hurshy

makes sense
3:55 am
Atalante

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3YiPC9
1QUk - the first minute of it!
3:55 am
Haz1558

Do I switch off after the first minute in case I am polluted by the rest of it?
3:56 am
hurshy

lol
3:56 am
Atalante

nooo it's all funny, the Katherine Jenkins analogue is just at about 50 secs
3:57 am
rubyfoo

it sounds like UK TV is better than French....at least funnier
3:58 am
Haz1558

'I'd rather just sing' - sounds like Katherine!
3:58 am
Atalante

yep!!!
3:58 am
Atalante

and the beautiful golden light and fuzzy focussing
3:59 am
Haz1558

I know she's studied music and isn't just one of these X-factor hopefuls who can't keep a note in tune, but it's just that she's everywhere.
4:00 am
hurshy

the arts are not helped by technology in certain respects.
4:01 am
hurshy

i want mo4ri4, but they don't connect :(
4:01 am
Atalante

I think Dr Who wasn't helped by the fact that they obviously recorded her singing *beuatifully*, it was almost too beautiful, it should have been more natural / less operatic, it just sounded like a KJ record in the middle of Dr Who
4:01 am
rubyfoo

nice phantom, hurshy
4:01 am
hurshy

i thought the whole point was that it should sound ethereal, magical, other-worldly
4:02 am
Haz1558

We'll need to get FM's opinion on Dr Who.
4:02 am
Atalante

she didn't lik it much either
4:02 am
rubyfoo

time to re-boot for security
4:02 am
rubyfoo

poof
4:02 am
Atalante

but I don't think it did, it sounded like an opera singer singing
4:03 am
Haz1558

OKay, with the thought of KJ in my ears, I must take a break. Back later. Toodle-oo!
4:03 am
hurshy

well it seems like being acquainted with her career makes one hear it very differently :)
4:03 am
Atalante

bye dear!
4:03 am
Atalante

I think you're probably very right!
4:03 am
Haz1558

Bye!
4:04 am
hurshy

it didn't even occur to me that she HAD a career. but i should have known, the guest stars on the specials are usually famous (at least in the UK).
4:07 am
Atalante

everyone was famous on that special. Michael Gambon, Katherine Jenkins ...
4:08 am
hurshy

i mostly know about gambon from top gear...
4:08 am
hurshy

but is he playing dumbledore lately? i think so but am not that into the movies of HP.
4:08 am
Atalante

yep, dumbledore
4:10 am
hurshy

it is so weird to me that you guys have a whole different set of stars, TV shows, etc, and we hardly see any of it, and you don't see a lot of our shows either. i would think by now there would be much more porousness of borders.
4:10 am
Atalante

I think the borders are fluid now, but tastes are very different still
4:12 am
hurshy

there are still plenty of access issues too though.
4:12 am
hurshy

why did i think "gris" was a word?
4:12 am
Atalante

I did too
4:12 am
hurshy

i guess cause of french
4:17 am
hurshy

i've been awake for at least an hour and i feel bad cause my 3 year old nephew has also been wakeful and i can hear his dad upstairs going to deal with him to try to keep from waking my husband and i, when i couldn't sleep anyway and my husband sleeps like a log and i could have dealt with wesley.
4:17 am
Atalante

how are the cats??
4:18 am
hurshy

good... although possibly lonely right now without us. but we will go back today.
4:19 am
Atalante

awwww poor kitties
4:20 am
ursh

hello all - I know you guys are cold but oh heavens it is sooooo hot and muggy here today - i hate sweaty
4:20 am
hurshy

usually christmas is at my mom's in RI, and i bring the cats there, but with dad's situation they are not there but at the trailer up here near my sister, so, christmas is here, and here, i can't bring them.
4:21 am
hurshy

i hate sweaty too, ursh, and love the snow, so complain all you like!
4:21 am
Atalante

we forgive you, ursh :)
4:24 am
Atalante

LOL best ever fb post from a friend: "had a pheasant leg and some chocolate and orange fudge for breakfast"
4:24 am
hurshy

aaack i am soooo hungry
4:24 am
hurshy

do not be mentioning fudge!
4:25 am
Atalante

so I can mention pheasant legs just not the F word?
4:25 am
hurshy

sure.
4:25 am
Atalante

they taste good too
4:25 am
hurshy

i've never HAD pheasant so i don't know what i'm missing.
4:25 am
Atalante

it's very nice!
4:28 am
hurshy

sigh. i was doing so well in the first row...
4:29 am
KatieMcG

morning all
4:30 am
hurshy

morning katie
4:30 am
Atalante

katie!!
4:33 am
KatieMcG

wow Ata long time no see
4:33 am
Atalante

ditto! how are you? how are the cats?
4:34 am
KatieMcG

we are all fine, how about you and yours?
4:34 am
ivesy3

why do the letters in the tile stats have one or 2 different boxes with the same letters?
4:35 am
Atalante

Hobbit has decided that she's obsessed with CHristmas cake *sigh*
4:36 am
hurshy

they match the grid, ivesy.
4:36 am
KatieMcG

ahhhh I haven't cut ours yet so we haven't got that problem so far
4:36 am
hurshy

amion
4:37 am
hurshy

excuse me... it doesn't go anyway
4:37 am
Atalante

she starts drooling every time I cut a piece
4:38 am
ivesy3

ok, they tell you how many words of that letter rite. but like the o letter has 2 boxes, with diff numbers. i guess im not getting it lol
4:38 am
Atalante

they match up to the grid above, ivesy
4:39 am
hurshy

some of the words that start with O, you can't make from the top O, so they count in the box of the second row O.

hurshy

for instance, imagine that "ogir" was a word. that would have to come from that second O, because the top O isn't next to the G.
4:39 am
KatieMcG

do you mean the 1/12 ones. if so the second number has the amount of words from that letter and the first number is the amount of words you have found. it goes grey when you have them all
4:40 am
ivesy3

oooooohhh, now i get it... ty!! lite bulb turned on lol
4:40 am
hurshy

if a word COULD come from EITHER box, it counts as coming from the first one, left to right top to bottom.
4:40 am
ivesy3

thank you. .u explained the process now so its a bit clearer. ty both
4:43 am
Atalante

gosh what a nice long set of long op words
4:43 am
hurshy

yes, i enjoyed those!
4:44 am
Atalante

they were great!
4:44 am
hurshy

i also have mo8, but not the other two 8's
4:45 am
Atalante

4:45 am
hurshy

4:46 am
Atalante

i have 2. hmmmm. the am
4:47 am
hurshy

the am's are more normal than the others... are you saying those are the 2 you have, or not?
4:47 am
Atalante

i have those two
4:47 am
hurshy

oh, well, the others are plurals of 5's.
4:48 am
hurshy

the or you will know but the ta, i did not

Atalante

4:49 am
Atalante

4:54 am
hurshy

what have you got from the 4th row a? i only have as6.
4:54 am
melissamay

Could you guys drop a clue for the ta? It's making me nutso.
4:54 am
Atalante

me too
4:54 am
hurshy

t + french friends for 5, then plural for 7
4:55 am
hurshy

as6 x2
4:55 am
hurshy

and as8
4:55 am
melissamay

oh sorry, I meant ta 7/36, is it yiddish maybe?
4:56 am
hurshy

oho, i don't know, i need that one then
4:56 am
melissamay

whoops ta 6/36 that is
4:56 am
hurshy

ta7/36 sticks an extra vowel in the feminine protection
4:57 am
melissamay

ok I am officially discombobulated, let me make sure that's right.
4:58 am
hurshy

how about the D, i have de6 and dr5
4:59 am
Haz1558

ta7/36 - to rhyme with Danny ch****** of the world, They had pheasants in that.
4:59 am
hurshy

ooh another de6 for one...
4:59 am
Atalante

yay for pheasants!
5:00 am
Haz1558

It doesn't like derig.
5:00 am
Atalante

it doesn't indeed. enable is very bad today
5:00 am
hurshy

i know, and lol re: pheasants
5:00 am
Haz1558

They're pretty birds.
5:00 am
Atalante

very very pretty
5:00 am
melissamay

ah thanks, but apparently there's one more ta 7/36 that starts off the tas. I think I'm a bit tired because I assumed it had a z, when plainly it can't.
5:02 am
hurshy

ta + what you do to potatoes + vowel
5:02 am
hurshy

thanks for all the help melissamay!
5:02 am
Haz1558

Now, what on earth can that mean?
5:02 am
Atalante

what an odd word!
5:03 am
Atalante

an entertainment
5:03 am
hurshy

something african maybe
5:03 am
melissamay

oh lord, if I am helping it's purely by accident :D
5:03 am
Haz1558

It's a spectacle in the East Indies.
5:03 am
Haz1558

mkg will be thrilled to find it. She loves the inclusivity of the English language.
5:03 am
Atalante

*dies laughing* imagine cluing that one for her
5:04 am
Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone! At last a day with a nice sized grid, time to do it, and no visitors!
5:04 am
Haz1558

I think hurshy's clue would work very well, she'll just be indignant that it's there and acceptable.
5:04 am
Atalante

hi sally!
5:04 am
Haz1558

Hello, Sally.
5:04 am
melissamay

Ok that is officially a very new word for me. Thanks for the fab clue, hurshy.
5:04 am
Atalante

you really think? I think it would be "do what to potatoes?" "roast?" "fry?" "I don't get it!"
5:04 am
melissamay

And good day Sally et al.
5:05 am
Sally-catlover

And how nice to come on in the middle of a clueing orgy.
5:05 am
Haz1558

Well, there is that. She'll get there in the end and be cross that she had to make the effort to find a non-word.
5:06 am
melissamay

I was so proud up to this point because I'd remembered a middle eastern si 6/21 from ages ago. Hubris is never advised in babble -- I need to tattoo that somewhere.
5:06 am
Atalante

this grid could prove interesting for her, lots of odd words
5:06 am
hurshy

she should probably just be content not to finish... just find the words she likes and skip the rest... ah well.
5:06 am
hurshy

oh do clue it melissa!
5:07 am
Sally-catlover

I didn't finish yesterday, grid too big and I was too tired, so I just left it.
5:07 am
Atalante

si + stern of countenance? that one?
5:07 am
melissamay

oooh ok, it's si + the heavenly orb that controls the tides.
5:07 am
Atalante

oh wait, ignore that

They work, melissa, that's the idea of clues.

melissamay

True, but some of you are awfully clever with clueing. Far more so than me!
5:09 am
hurshy

well i might be able to sleep again, although i don't know for how long since the nephew will prob soon be up for good - but i'm going to give it a shot. ttfn all.
5:09 am
Haz1558

Ata, you missed me asking earlier if a dancing collier would drive a Mo6/21 Minor.
5:09 am
Haz1558

Nice to see you, hurshy, and say helo to Wesley.
5:09 am
melissamay

tata hursh, thanks for all the fantastic clues
5:10 am
Atalante

oh very good Haz-in-the-grid!
5:10 am
Haz1558

I know! I don't appear often so it feels nice. peri is very blase about it now. You're there as well.
5:12 am
Atalante

peri is constantly in!
5:12 am
Haz1558

I know. Something should be done.
5:13 am
Atalante

has spangle ever been in the grid?
5:13 am
Haz1558

I think she might have been, there's a vague memory.
5:14 am
Sally-catlover

spangle would be a nice high-scoring one :-)
5:14 am
Atalante

ooo a good de8
5:14 am
Atalante

Hobbit has, but enable doesn't accept her
5:15 am
Haz1558

Which goes to show that enable has poor standards.
5:15 am
Sally-catlover

ty Ata!
5:15 am
Sally-catlover

Daisy has, but not Sparky I think.
5:15 am
Atalante

poor sparky
5:16 am

Silverclaw hasn't LOL
5:16 am
Sally-catlover

She'll survive!

But probably her components Ata

Flask1

Morning all.....hope you're all well!
5:17 am
Sally-catlover

Hallo Flask
5:17 am
Haz1558

Good morning, Flask. I'm fine, how are you?
5:17 am
Flask1

Rain here again Haz!!!
5:17 am
Flask1

Am grand thanx!
5:18 am
Haz1558

I know, but at least all the snow has gone and it's possible to open the door without a sharp intake of breath.
5:18 am
Flask1

And my chair moves in the rain.....such bliss!
5:19 am
Sally-catlover

It's nice to be able to go out without hat and gloves
5:19 am
Haz1558

Oh great, you'll finally be able to get out and about. Don't let anybody knock you over in the rush for the sales.
5:20 am
Flask1

lololol.....not in this wee toon Haz.....that would be such an event!!!
5:21 am
Haz1558

I watch TV pictures of people queuing up for the sales and can't imagine why you'd put yourself through it, especially in such low temperatures.
5:22 am
Sally-catlover

lol Haz. I said to my husband only this morning how glad I was I no longer had to dr5 for work and had reached the age when I could wear jeans and a tee-shirt every day and my idea of dr5ing up was a clean tee-shirt.
5:22 am
Flask1

And if I want to go somewhere bigger...I have to book an adapted vehicle a week in advance!!! They don't go for acting on impulse here, believe me!!
5:22 am
Sally-catlover

I gather you're in a wheelchair Flask. Is that permanent?
5:23 am
Haz1558

No chopping and changing your mind at the last minute, if you say you're going, you go.
5:23 am
Haz1558

I can't keep up with my girls, they form a plan and by the end what actually happens bears little resemblance to the original scheme.
5:23 am
melissamay

Hot dang, that's firewords. Can I help anyone before I collapse in a heap?
5:24 am
Haz1558

I blame the mobile phone, by the time they've consulted with everybody, the plans change beyond recognition.
5:24 am
Haz1558

Well done, melissa!
5:24 am
melissamay

thank you kindly Haz
5:24 am
Sally-catlover

Yay for mellisa! No thanks, haven't long started.
5:25 am
melissamay

and sally! Watch out for those ts is all I can say. Whew.
5:25 am
Flask1

Yes Sally it is!....I took Polio when I was 11 wks old......am now 56yrs old...lolol...so am well used to it.....but it slows you down quite suddenly with age....but hell am happy!
5:26 am
Flask1

Thats it Haz, you've got the idea!!
5:26 am
Sally-catlover

Sorry to hear that Flask. But being happy is the best thing! {{hugs}}
5:26 am
melissamay

So I'll say good night and good day to all. Have fun and a fabulous time of it!
5:26 am
Haz1558

Good night, melissa, sleep well.
5:26 am
melissamay

:D
5:27 am
Flask1

Oh don't be sorry Sal...I really don't know any different.......and I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE TO THE FULL.......[she says blushing]!!
5:27 am
Haz1558

Now we start wondering just what Flask has been up to...
5:28 am
Flask1

lol....
5:28 am
Haz1558

Honestly, between FM and her empty wellies and Flask with her life lived to the full, it's a wonder we get any words here at all.
5:28 am
Flask1

Well I ran away from home when I was 17....so there's a wee hint for you.....lol
5:28 am
Sally-catlover

Remember this is a family group Flask! Seriously it is probably easier in some ways for some who has never known anything else than someone suddenly in a chair at a more mature age - not in any way to belittle what you have had.
5:29 am
Haz1558

Goodness, you HAVE had adventures, Flask.
5:29 am
Sally-catlover

Empty wellies? What have I missed?
5:29 am
Flask1

No Sally I agree completely!
5:30 am
Flask1

'fraid so Haz!
5:30 am
Haz1558

Well, Sally, not that we're ones to gossip, but Ata visited FM yesterday and there were wellies in the living room. Our theory is that someone had made an escape to avoid detection. Like I said, we're not ones to gossip.
5:30 am
Sally-catlover

People who moan all the time are very hard to be around, so I think you must be fun to be with Flask.
5:30 am
Flask1

So you see....I have all my wonderful and not so wonderful memories!
5:30 am
Sally-catlover

Shock Haz! And were there snowy bare footprints leading out of the window?
5:31 am
Haz1558

My aunt had two moaning sisters. She was once heard to say 'Oh, here are Doom and Gloom coming' when she spied them arriving.
5:31 am
Sally-catlover

rofl Haz
5:31 am
Haz1558

Ata didn't say but she did note a shed in the garden.
5:31 am
Haz1558

Garden shed = up to no good.
5:32 am
Sally-catlover

I feel myself very fortunate to feel very happy most of the time. It's a nice feeling.
5:32 am
Sally-catlover

Not a bike shed?
5:32 am
Haz1558

Bike-sheds are a whole different ball game.
5:32 am
Flask1

I do have a sense of humour....which helpsme thro' anything that might be thrown at me!
5:33 am
Flask1

Bike sheds????
5:33 am
Haz1558

A sense of humour is a blessing.
5:33 am
Sally-catlover

Behind which there were many indiscretions at school (or so I am told)
5:33 am
DTins

how many today please
5:34 am
Flask1

I never did the bike-shed thing at school....
5:34 am
Sally-catlover

195 today
5:34 am
Haz1558

I've been told that as well, Sally.
5:34 am
DTins

ty sally
5:34 am
Sally-catlover

Well, no, nor did I. An all-girls school and I didn't smoke, so not much left.
5:34 am
Flask1

I was so slow at walking, when I got there it was always time to move on!
5:36 am
Flask1

Thats not the case now tho'.....my electric chair whizzes me around so fast....its fab!!!....lol
5:36 am
Sally-catlover

Flask, wasn't it your grandson who got bitten by a dog recently? How is he now?
5:36 am
Sally-catlover

You knock them off their feet do you Flask!
5:37 am
Flask1

Yes Sally it was.....stitches came out yesterday...and its looking so much better!
5:37 am
Sally-catlover

How is he in himself?
5:37 am
Flask1

Great!!
5:38 am
Flask1

He's never stopped smiling!!
5:38 am
Haz1558

Great relief all round, that's for sure.
5:38 am
Flask1

Definitely!! Thanx for all your good wishes!
5:39 am
Haz1558

I could fully understand your anxiety, I was so glad that his eyes weren't affected.
5:39 am
Sally-catlover

Good! My little grandson will be 3 in March and they always spend Christmas in Egypt. Santa arrived by boat, Theo rushed out into the water fully clothed, had to remove wet clothes and so met Santa stark naked!
5:40 am
Haz1558

I love their innocence at that age.
5:40 am
Flask1

So were we Haz!....It leaves you feeling so hopeless...
5:40 am
Flask1

Love it Sally!
5:41 am
Sally-catlover

Son thought it was hysterical and rushed up with a towel I believe.
5:44 am
Flask1

can't find any of the biggies here.....are there any clues floating around......[looking around in the air]...lol
5:45 am
Sally-catlover

Biggest I have so far is an 8
5:45 am
Sally-catlover

de 8/45
5:46 am
Atalante

op :)
5:46 am
Haz1558

Lots of the biggest ones come from op - words meaning to make the most of things. Use both British and American spellings.
5:47 am
Flask1

ok thanx Haz!
5:47 am
Haz1558

mo8 - either lots of bell-bedecked dancers or a queue of Minors. the Americans won't have a clue)
5:48 am
Sally-catlover

oh ty Haz. Had the singular, not the plural
5:48 am
Flask1

lol
5:48 am
Haz1558

de8 - mkg viewed the inclusion of ta7 with de8.
5:48 am
Kateq

lovely clue Haz
5:48 am
Haz1558

ta7 - a spectacle or entertainment in East Indies. I know neither of you will need further help.
5:49 am
Atalante

lmao
5:49 am
Haz1558

Hello, Kateq.
5:49 am
Flask1

are you serious Haz??? Am totally bamboozled!!
5:50 am
Haz1558

But in case you do - ta plus what you do to potatoes finish with a vowel.
5:50 am
Sally-catlover

thanks for the op tips Haz. Now have 4 of the 8s!
5:50 am
Atalante

fry? roast? I don't get it!
5:50 am
zoozzoom

Many thanks, Haz got 8 words from the OP :-)
5:51 am
Haz1558

There are 9s and a 10 in among the op words.
5:51 am
Haz1558

You're welcome, good morning, zooz!
5:51 am
Flask1

Got it!....but I was looking for Peel to begin with...lol
5:51 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, have the 9 and 10 now, missing one 8
5:51 am

make that 9..lol...Hello, All :-)

Hi zooz.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, glad the weather has warmed up.
5:53 am
Haz1558

It has, thanks, zooz. It feels positively balmy in comparison.
5:54 am
Sally-catlover

It's grey, wet and disgusting outside. Very slushy and foggy
5:54 am
Jayk

Beg to differ, Haz! SOME Americans know those dancers
5:54 am
Haz1558

Excellent! But do you know the cars?
5:55 am
Jayk

Oh yes. My boyfriend had one when we were 16
5:55 am
Flask1

How was your Xmas Zooz?
5:55 am
Haz1558

They were produced over a long period of time, much beloved and sadly missed. They had indicators that flipped out from a bit in the side.
5:55 am
Jayk

oddly enough
5:55 am
zoozzoom

Hectic, Flask, but enjoyable :-)
5:56 am
Jayk

Yes! I remember!
5:56 am
Flask1

bright orange too!
5:56 am
Atalante

I loved those indicators
5:56 am
Haz1558

You've obviously been hanging round with the right sort of people, Jayk. Did he dance as well?
5:56 am
Sally-catlover

My father's pet name for those indicators was wig-wags :-)
5:56 am
Flask1

lol...Haz!
5:56 am
Haz1558

Those indicators were brilliant. Such character.
5:56 am
Jayk

Indeed--but not that kind. The dancers were a fixture in Vermont
5:57 am
Angelsong

mrorning all. I wonder if any of you who share your homes with cats has encounterd this issue...we have a two year old cat who wets on our bed once every couple of months. She has been evaluated by the vet, and she is not ill. we've changed her diet, which has helped some, because she used to wet every month, instead of every tow months. She has been treated for possible bladder infection, but she does not wet anywhere else inappropriately, and it's usually early in the morning. We're not sure why she doees this.
5:57 am
zoozzoom

You don`t get cars made with wood on the frame anymore..lol
5:57 am
Flask1

I know...they were fab!
5:58 am
Haz1558

Anyone remember the bench seat on the front of the Austin Cambridge?
5:58 am
Sally-catlover

Never had this Angel, but could it be stress of some kind? Some change in the home? If so, in the UK you can get something which plugs into a socket and gives off a calming pheromone.
5:58 am
Flask1

yes!!!!
5:59 am
Flask1

I do Haz!!
5:59 am
Haz1558

I've never seen them in any other car. They'd not be allowed nowadays because of seat belts but I always liked them.
6:00 am
Angelsong

no stress or changes we can identify, Sally. We notieced the behavior about a year ago.
6:00 am
Flask1

I think they were exclusive to the Austins!
6:01 am
Haz1558

There's a to7 with the same structure as another ta7/36 (the one that rhymes with Danny, ch****** of the world)
6:01 am
Haz1558

I think so, Flask, it was such a dignified car, that one.
6:02 am
Sally-catlover

Well you could try one of these plug-in things. Here, I think you have to get them from the vet. I have never used one but a friend had one for her dog.
6:02 am
Flask1

An uncle who lived with us, had an Austin A40 and I loved that too!
6:03 am
Sally-catlover

The only other thing I can think of is that something has changed outside. If there is another cat or animal outside in the early morning who frightens her, she might wet inside instead - or does she have a litter tray? If not, it might be worth providing one for her.
6:04 am
Angelsong

do they work well, Sally?
6:04 am
Flask1

strange words those, Haz!
6:04 am
Angelsong

we have three litter trays, one for each cat.
6:04 am
Sally-catlover

I believe so Angel, but as I said we have never used one but a friend had one and said it was really good.
6:06 am
Haz1558

I know, Flask, not much used in everyday conversation.

6:12 am
Flask1

de8...clue please?
6:13 am
Haz1558

de8 - an adjective meaning that you view something with distaste or disapproval.
6:13 am
Haz1558

It has the charged particle ending.
6:15 am
Flask1

ty...got it...
6:15 am
Haz1558

You're welcome.
6:16 am
Flask1

....and the as8 please?.....I know, am pushing it..sorry!
6:17 am
Haz1558

as8 - if you've got as6/24 - to give someone a duty, make it the person who does.
6:19 am
Flask1

thanx Haz!...appreciated!
6:19 am
Haz1558

You're welcome.

Sally-catlover

Back
6:21 am
Sally-catlover

Really enjoying this grid. There's enough of a challenge, but some nice finds as well. Also, I really don't like the enormous ones just because of the time they take.
6:22 am
Haz1558

Yes, enough of a workout to make you feel you've earned the points but not too much of a slog.
6:23 am
Flask1

back soon .... having lunch!
6:24 am
Haz1558

Enjoy lunch, Flask.
6:24 am
Haz1558

I'll probably be away when you come back. The final chapters of the latest Scotland Street book await me.
6:25 am
Sally-catlover

Scotland Street? Don't know that.
6:25 am
Haz1558

They're by Alexander McCall Smith - based on the inhabitants of a building in Edinburgh.
6:26 am
Haz1558

They're like his Botswana books in that they're very gentle but immensely funny in parts.
6:26 am
Sally-catlover

Are they good?
6:26 am
Haz1558

I like his writing - husband read a couple and concluded that nothing happened.
6:27 am
Sally-catlover

I didn't like the No 1 Detective Agency, which I think is by him.
6:29 am
Haz1558

Yes, he wrote them. I think they're an acquired taste to an extent. I'm not so fond of the Isabel Dalhousie series which he also writes.
6:29 am
Soodlebum

Hi everybody. I'm reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which I received as a Christmas present about 3-4 years ago, and never got around to reading. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Hello, Soodle. Are you dried out yet?
6:30 am
Sally-catlover

A friend has recommended those soodle, but I haven't read any yet.
6:30 am

Its a long, slow process, Haz. I have totally run out of towels and other mopping up accoutrements, which is frustrating.

6:31 am
Soodlebum

yesterday brought a wry smile to my face!
6:32 am

Oh yes. It will be an insurance job for sure, but at this stage, its a case of 'Form and orderly queue'.....

Understandable. Our water pressure this morning seems to be low to negligible, I imagine they're mopping up leaks elsewhere.

Soodlebum

Jean, I haven't seen the movie yet, and I probably won't watch it. I always find the film versions of books I have read a huge disappointment.

Hmm, Jean. Just wait til I fill out the insurance claim form, and we will see about the whole sueing thing!
6:53 am

I have to go now, and bring the son and heir into the town, to collect the car he abandoned in favour of a night of drunken debauchery. Sheesh.... Have a good day everybody.
6:54 am
EspritdJean

6:54 am

How many words today please
8:49 am
Trifioso

we have less than a foot, probably, but it's wicked heavy
8:49 am
Trifioso

not to discount it, but scituate always gets nailed. they build houses thiiiiiiis close to the water, and then act all surprised when they flood. well - duh!

trif are they able to get insurance under those circumstances?
8:51 am

could it be? Indy is actually chewing on an assigned chew toy? next week -- satan skates!
8:51 am
trentsnana

okay, Eva, once I have them uploaded to Flickr, how do you get them to show up on your profile on here?
8:51 am
Riverdance

they would have to have flood insurance
8:51 am
bichon

I grew up near the ocean. It was always some weather catastrophe
8:51 am
Trifioso

I am not even sure they can get it, river....who would insure them?
8:52 am
EvaNadine

honestly, i dont remember. try clicking "my account" in babble and check if there is something there?
8:52 am

8:52 am
trentsnana

ok, thnx
8:52 am
NonoNanette

its very hard to get flood insurance if your very near the water
8:52 am
Riverdance

you gave to go through a specialty company or a governmental agency - its not sold by regular insurance carriers
8:52 am
NonoNanette

ty welki
8:53 am
Riverdance

thanks welki - didnt have that one
8:53 am
Trifioso

well then I hope they have it, and I would not want to venture a guess at the premiums they pay!
8:53 am
bichon

That's the price you have to pay for a water view
8:53 am
Riverdance

if they can afford the house on the water lets hope they can afford the premuim
8:54 am
welki

i was required to have flood insurance when i lived in nj ... and then found it hard to buy. but when i finally found a carrier, it wasn't too expensive
8:54 am
Trifioso

that's the funny thing - the houses aren't all that nice, and they are literally inches apart. real beach cabins....but they are right on the water!
8:56 am
bichon

Yes, there were lots of bungalows where I lived, but they weren't weatherized. Only used in the summer
8:56 am
welki

what i found out was, in 1955, the delaware river flooded the town i lived in and my house (built in 1840) had been flooded to the second floor!
8:56 am
welki

(you never know these things when you sign on the dotted line!)
8:57 am
bichon

NJ has lots of flooding, especially North Jersey
8:57 am
Trifioso

some are summer ones, some are winterized. my friend grew up in one, and it was a lovely, cozy little home, on stils. the funny thing was, if you stood on the beach and looked back at the houses, his is 90 off the others. Turns out the whole thing was lifted up and turned in a flood back in the 40s!
8:57 am
welki

yep, this was in sussex county

we went thru a flood in 1972, water to the second floor. At that time flood insurance was not available and we got lots of government grants ect. to help recover. But after that they institued flood insurance requirements and it was a bit cost prohibitive for me. We solved the issue by moving to a hill top location and now on the side of a hill
9:00 am
welki

where were you living at the time, nono?
9:01 am
NonoNanette

southern tier of NY quite close to the Chemung River

(and your post ... makes it sound like you started at the top of the hill and are now on the side of the hill ... do you need erosion coverage now :)

I love your dress, Eva - beautiful. How long did it take you to pick it out. My daughter must've tried on 20-30 before she found hers.
9:07 am
Trifioso

oooh, I think pr5 is about to be very in love with me! leftover roast beef from christmas dinner is now happily ensconced in an omelet with cheese and bbq sauce....good morning, dear son!
9:08 am
EvaNadine

i had gone to 2 other shops before and tried on a few dresses. seen a few that were ok, but nothing i really feel in love with.
this particular designer was one i kept pulling up whenever i would search online, so i actually drove all the way to NYC to Kleinfeld (the store on that tv show!) because this designer was having a trunk show there -- which means the dresses were 12% off!
9:08 am
NonoNanette

oooo that sounds good trif
9:08 am
EvaNadine

i could never have afforded my dress without that discount, and STILL paid twice as much as i had wanted to, but i LOVED my dress!
9:09 am
trentsnana

Well, the dress is the most important thing - at least for the bride.
9:09 am
EvaNadine

i only tried on a few that day.
my dress was everything i thought i DIDNT want, but the designer hand-selected it for me, so i didnt want to insult her by not trying it on!
as soon as it was on, my friend and i just said "oh, wow" and i knew. :)
9:09 am
movieman

will people stop saying the dr5 word!!!!!!
9:10 am

yes, it's now official. I am the BMOE
9:10 am
trentsnana

Kristi did NOT want strapless and look what she ended up with. They said with proper fitting, she wouldn't be pulling it up all day/night long, and they were right!
9:10 am
EvaNadine

all of her designs seemed to be created for my shape, so they all looked nice, but that one just spoke to me. :)
9:11 am
EvaNadine

i didnt want strapless, i didnt want lace.
9:11 am
welki

*imagining a little voice coming from a gown, "buy meeeeee, i'm the one for youuuuuuu"
9:11 am
Trifioso

my best friend made my wedding dr5, (he's was the costume designer of the washington opera at the time...) and we had such a good time designing it, putting little touches on it...I had a really long commute in the morning then, and I used to work on the beading and such on the way to work
9:12 am
EvaNadine

trif -- thats so special!
9:12 am
Trifioso

it was a lovely dr5....it's somewhere up in the attic now, in a stereo box!
9:12 am
EvaNadine

my dress did fit perfectly, except that i took my hells off + then it kinda fit strangely + i was tugging at it.
but i think it was more habit of being a small-chested gal with a strapless gown!
9:13 am
trentsnana

It was a heavy dress, but she didn't mind it. She also didn't want the "pick-up" style, and that's what she looked the best in.
9:13 am
Trifioso

what a pick up style?
9:13 am
EvaNadine

mine had just a little bit of beading, along the waistline, but it had a very thin metallic thread that ran throughout the lace + it made the whole thing sort of glow...
9:14 am
Trifioso

I wonder, do you think it would be bad luck if one of my girls wanted to wear it someday?
9:14 am
trentsnana

hard to explain, looks like bits of the material were pulled up and attached at the bottom
9:14 am
Trifioso

oh, I know what you mean
9:15 am
trentsnana

if your girls like the dress, that shouldn't make any difference, Trif
9:16 am
EvaNadine

i still LOVE my dress. i wish i could figure out a way to alter it + wear it again!
but alas, the style of mine doesnt lend itself to alterations. id LOVE for my (someday) children to wear it, but i dont hold out hope that they would ever want to -- its so rare that girls want to wear their mothers dress.
i would love to think of something i would do with it though...
9:16 am
Trifioso

I did wear my mom's headpiece, and she is divorced. oh wait a sec....what is my point exactly? LOLOLOL
9:16 am
trentsnana

ha - I posted a picture with daughter's mouth hanging open - didn't mean to post that one
9:16 am
trentsnana

LOL
9:16 am

styles change so much, Eva, but you never know - it may be back in style by that time
9:17 am
EvaNadine

my mother got married in a pale blue skirt suit. :)
9:17 am
Trifioso

i think wedding gowns (see what I did there?) defy the styles of the time. There are trends that come and go, (butt bows!!!) sure, but there is always a way to work in the gown you want, no matter what
9:18 am
Trifioso

my stepmother got married in a purple designer gown, as pale colors don't suit her at all, and she looked absolutely beautiful.
9:18 am
Trifioso

white for weddings only became the style after queen victoria wore white at hers....
9:18 am
EvaNadine

i didnt even think too much about trends when i chose my gown. if anything, i sort of tried to stay away whatever seemed to be popular.
i wanted a dress that was classic + timeless and really just flattered me and my style.
i *think* i managed that. :)
9:19 am
Trifioso

my friend ava went to a wedding wore black lace over nude. Nude. THAT is a look people are going to remember!
9:19 am
EvaNadine

my dress was "antique ivory" and i think my mother thought that was horrible, until she saw me in true white. i looked ill. then she said "ivory, it is!"
9:20 am
trentsnana

you did a great job, Eva - and antique ivory looked great on you
9:20 am
trentsnana

Kristi looked best in white
9:20 am
MollyL

Eva, why doesn't it lend itself to alterations?
9:21 am
bichon

I had an ivory wedding gown, in 1971
9:21 am
EvaNadine

it has sort of a fish-tail train. doesnt really lend itself to be shortened...
not really sure what else i would want to do to it...
9:22 am
EvaNadine

i think my mother kinda-sorta wanted me to do all things traditional, since she very much didnt do that herself.
but then she realized that she raised a daughter who isnt quite traditional herself. ;)
9:23 am
trentsnana

you can see the bottom of her dress on the first picture I posted on my profile - that's what a pick-up style is
9:24 am
trentsnana

I didn't say anything, unless my daughter asked for my opinion. I figured it was her day and she should have it the way she wanted it. Sounds like your mother did the same.
9:24 am

i think she just realized that mine were better. ;)

9:26 am
EvaNadine

i had a *vision* for my whole wedding.
i think people didnt get it at first, but once it all started coming together, my vision became clearer...
we got a lot of compliments on everything, and i think people had a really fab time, so i think thats what matters!
9:26 am
Trifioso

no, you are very beautiful! Please accept my compliment, as it is most heartfelt
9:26 am
trentsnana

You sound like Kristi. She had it all pictured in her mind. She was very happy with how it all turned out and she, too, got lots of compliments. It all went smoothly - thank goodness.
9:27 am

Well, thank you, Trif!
9:27 am

9:28 am

i told people "i want tree stumps for cake bases and centerpieces" and they just looked at my sideways.
then once everything else came together, i heard a lot of "OOH! i get it now -- lovely!"

good luck with that!!

we are hoping to look for a place soon, but we need to save up our pennies.
9:34 am

her hubby is a real saver, so he had quite a bit saved up before the wedding and then they received a nice little chunk for gifts

12:08 pm
Fiber Art

what, no Shazam!
12:09 pm
Flask1

nope!
12:10 pm
Aloyisius

Flask, that must be an extra Lickety word, bc my bottom S is greyed, and I don't have an sh6.39
12:10 pm
Aloyisius

hi Babblers, popping in to find my final 10
12:11 pm
dcseain

yes, shazam is in new ENABLE, but not the version used by Babble
12:11 pm
dcseain

hi, flask and aloy :)
12:11 pm
wvteach

what is ENABLE ?
12:12 pm
Aloyisius

hi dcs (-:
12:12 pm
Aloyisius

Enable is the dictionary, wvt.. the resource
12:13 pm
Aloyisius

tho some call it disabled, lol
12:13 pm
dcseain

ENABLE is the free dictionary that Babble, and some scrabble sites, etc, use
12:13 pm
dcseain

Jillibus has an apt description of it in her profile
12:13 pm
Flask1

thanx for that info Aloy!
12:13 pm
wvteach

thnx for the information
12:14 pm
Aloyisius

wish this site used SOWPODS
12:16 pm
dcseain

I have learned that a US dictionary is more inclusive :)
12:16 pm
dcseain

a friend and i used to play scrabble with the OED as reference. Great words in there, like qhat, qhen
12:17 pm
MollyL

Aloy made me look up SOWPODS
12:17 pm
Aloyisius

really? ah, I see what you mean.. I'm just used to the Scrabble dictionary..
12:18 pm
Aloyisius

and sometimes when I play word games on FB, messes me up bc they use "illegal" scrabble words
12:18 pm
MollyL

I'm not sure, but I think my niece may have the Scrabble dictionary memorized. She sure has an arsenal of impressive words at her fingertips.
12:19 pm
dcseain

SOWPODS is a good dictionary, i agree
12:19 pm
Aloyisius

so many new words developing related to technology
12:21 pm
Aloyisius

bunch of newbies (to me) in this grid.. hope I can remember them.. finito here.. anyone need a clue?
12:21 pm
dcseain

congrats, aloy
12:22 pm
Flask1

Aloy, do you know what the word is for that space?
12:22 pm
Aloyisius

what space, Flask?
12:23 pm
Flask1

the S word?
12:23 pm
Aloyisius

oh, yes.. shazam
12:23 pm
Aloyisius

just not "accepted" yet
12:23 pm
Flask1

its not taking it tho'
12:24 pm
Aloyisius

no, it won't
12:24 pm
Aloyisius

but that is ok
12:24 pm
Aloyisius

you will still get fireworks without it
12:24 pm
Flask1

but am not!
12:25 pm
Aloyisius

tis an extra Lickety word.. h'mm, double check, Flask.. or reboot?
12:25 pm
Aloyisius

i mean, refresh
12:25 pm
Aloyisius

gheez, ms. techno here, lol
12:28 pm
Flask1

no difference at all......done the whole grid for nothing....soooo annoying!!
12:28 pm
Aloyisius

no, no, no... I would write to Dr. G.. he will fix it
12:29 pm
Aloyisius

.. and congrats to you for finishing!
12:29 pm
Aloyisius

have to scoot now.. will check back with you next time, Flask - you deserve the credit for finishing; I'm sure Dr. G will make certain you get it or be able to tell you what the problem is.. good luck!
12:31 pm
dcseain

be well, aloy.
12:31 pm
dcseain

and shazam is not needed for fireworks -- Babble uses older ENABLE than Lickety.
12:32 pm
LeslieAnn

although it would be a rather appropriate last word to get fireworks.
12:35 pm

3:46 pm

well it's ridiculous, they had an empty plane ready to go here in Toronto to fly to NYC -- only needed to wait until the airport reopened and they cancelled
3:47 pm
Ormal

hiya back dc. wtg shirlock!
3:49 pm
Shirlockc

i was restrained in my complaint :)
3:50 pm
dcseain

American has been WAY overly cautious through the snow. They even cancelled flights to BWD, DCA, and IAD, and we got only flurries with less than an inch of accumulation, that blew away within a few hours.
3:50 pm
dcseain

er, BWI, not BWD
3:51 pm
crosshair

i have not flown(commercially) in years and it seems i am better off lol
3:51 pm
Shirlockc

wind is a problem, which i get but if i'm supposed to be at the airport 2 hours before my flight, what's the point of canceling > 1 hour before flight time? esp. if even i know the airports were closed
3:51 pm
Shirlockc

sorry, < 1hour
3:52 pm
crosshair

i have hot air balooned,used a float plane,done tours in bi0planes for photo shoots but that has been it for the last few years
3:52 pm
Shirlockc

i wouldn't have gone to the airport at all if they didn't keep saying that the flight was still going
3:52 pm
crosshair

now that is not good form ,i agree shirloc
3:53 pm
Ormal

when the airlines stranded my two children (unaccompanied minors program) in Germany due to a mistake on the airlines' part, then got them on another plane a few days later after much argument, then forgot to fill in the customs forms for the kids - which scared my kids to death because they thought they couldn't come home because they had been to their Oma's farm, I did not get even so much as an apology for my kids!
3:53 pm
Shirlockc

that's awful ormal!
3:53 pm
crosshair

terrible indeed ormal
3:55 pm
Shirlockc

some people are really incompetent at their jobs
3:55 pm
crosshair

speaking of annoyances,i am fighting with a few of the dr,s we use on a regular basis.seem all of them conspire to call me one hour after i have missed an appt,just to tell me i have missed an appt>i say "would it not be more usefull to call 2 hours before and remind me of the appt,so that it is not missed?"
3:55 pm
Shirlockc

and sometimes, it really is luck of the draw when it comes to service
3:56 pm
Ormal

but the kids made it home safely, if a few days late, which was the important part.
3:56 pm
Ormal

lol, oh crossy if only common sense were so common.
3:57 pm

I MEAN WHY CALL JUST TO TELL ME I MISSED IT/?? headesk

i've not hear, JBV. what happened?
4:02 pm

just a minor outrage, seain, the kind that makes you either laugh or cry - I reported my husband's death to the car insurance company and they sent me a bill for $46 - it seems he was getting a Senior Discount which has now been removed!!
4:02 pm

I'll bet they would've cancelled you if you didn't pay
4:20 pm
JBV

I probably should never have called to report it
4:21 pm
JBV

they didn't really need to know
4:21 pm
wildcat17

you did the right thing .. they didn't
4:22 pm
dcseain

i don't get how removing him should make the discount not apply retroactively, I'd contact the state insurance reculator
4:22 pm
crosshair

remember..we are just a number...lol
4:22 pm
JBV

I thought I might be due a refund, but they said, no, the premium is not based on the number of drivers, but on the number of cars
4:22 pm
wildcat17

it's a combination of both jbv
4:22 pm
JBV

you know that's right, seain, I did not think of that - they should have at least prorated it - ok, more homework for me
4:23 pm
