I think my husband is frantically looking through groupons.

Aw, poor heartbreak girl.
7:23 am
Kaplan the Magne
It's awful. She keeps calling him.

Which prolongs the agony and pushes him farther away.

10:19 am
Trifioso
just finished my traditional post-thanksgiving breakfast -- turkey on white bread with cranberry sauce and stuffing, with pumpkin pie chaser
10:19 am
uusue2
the cereal I eat is called Nutlettes - it is basically pure soy, formed into bits that look like Grape Nuts - lots of protein and fiber and no taste whatsoever
10:20 am
uusue2
but I actually like yogurt a lot, and it makes the yogurt crunchy, which I also like
10:20 am
uusue2
sometimes I put fruit on it but today I was too lazy
10:20 am
uusue2
and hi to jac, trif, and flosey!
10:21 am
Jacula
Got to go - have some work to type up. Happy Babbling all. x
10:21 am
Trifioso
that sounds really good uu! I enjoy crunchy yogs as well
10:21 am
Trifioso
not sure where I am with soy though...some people think tis a miracle food, whereas others swear it's the devil....
10:22 am
lbdawger
got some mixed berries at costco. with a bit of brown sugar. no milk...
10:22 am
crosshair
soy cerial?? that is not food ..is it? lol
10:22 am
lbdawger
i haven't tried soy milk, but i love yoghurt.
10:23 am
flosey
often use dried cranberries
10:23 am
uusue2
soy milk is OK but I prefer regular milk. Soy yogurt is horrible.
10:23 am
Trifioso
I have soy milk sometimes, but rice milk others - bit of a lactose situation here, I am afraid
10:24 am
uusue2
when I lived in Switzerland I would buy muesli (the real Swiss kind, not the kind you get here) - several different grains, nuts, dried fruit - then I would mix yogurt into it - it was fabulous
10:24 am
Trifioso
ohhh, the memories! I used to spend my summer's at a LOVELY camp in Maine, eventually becoming a counselor there. We had to have bird names, and I just found mind in the grid! Have not thought of that in a dog's years
10:24 am
lbdawger
clue for the go6?
10:25 am
uusue2
when it was really cold I would cook it like oatmeal (which it was, partly) - so yummy!

hey, grammar Q, is it "all were ..." or "all was ..."?
10:27 am
Erda

10:27 am
Trifioso

10:29 am
Trifioso

10:30 am
uusue2
I'll fix muesli for you the traditional Swiss way, crossy, I'll bet you'll like it
10:30 am
Trifioso
ah, crossy, you know we all want you to fight your lipids!
10:30 am
crosshair

Kaplan the Magne
As it were...as it was.
10:33 am
Trifioso
turkey bacon isn't so bad, crossy
10:33 am
uusue2
I think it's more a matter of quantity, crossy - you can still have all those things, just less frequently and in smaller quantities
10:33 am
Kaplan the Magne
Two food rules. Never eat anything that pretends it is something else.
10:33 am
mklein
There are 3 lizards so far - I've never notice that before.
10:34 am
uusue2
and fill in the gaps with lots of fruit and vegetables
10:34 am
Trifioso
or adopt the french way of living, and have everything with a good glass of wine, so the alcohol cuts the fats for you
10:34 am
Kaplan the Magne
Another is not to eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
10:34 am
Kaplan the Magne
Or eat things that come in packages.
10:34 am
Kaplan the Magne
never eat anything bigger than your head.
10:34 am
Trifioso
I was JUST going to write that, kaplan! the grandmother thing....
10:34 am
uusue2
the French also have surprisingly small servings
10:34 am
Trifioso
one of my favorite books, kaplan!!!
10:35 am
Kaplan the Magne
:)
10:35 am
uusue2
or as my sister once said, G-d has everything color-coded; as long as you eat things of a lot of different (natural) colors you will be fine :-)
10:36 am
crosshair
lol,good rule kap and you are most likely correct sue
10:36 am
Kaplan the Magne
I do eat a lot of soy-meat fake products. I am going to take a look at that.
10:36 am
uusue2
also avoid things with ingredients you can't pronounce
10:36 am
Kaplan the Magne
My grandmother wouldn't erecognize anything without schmaltz on it.
10:37 am
crosshair

I also think that every time there is a word in the grid and you look it up and it says "No dictionary results" you should get an extra 50 points.

I now have auto correct and it's driving me up a wall

3:05 pm
westford
that would be nice !!
3:06 pm
wht
Hi Westford. Yes, it has been a beautiful day. I trimmed up the hedges and raked the leaves in the driveway and my son mowed the lawn and mulched up the rest of the leaves.
3:06 pm
wht
Then took a walk.
3:07 pm
westford
we don't often get a chance to do this so late in Nov
3:07 pm

60 degree weather in November is always a treat.

Well maybe a little less dishevelled.
3:09 pm
westford
hello Molly
3:09 pm
MollyL
The el's are French words. Means to distance ones self or go far away from.
3:10 pm
westford
thank you
3:10 pm
MollyL
I get very tired of Enable for the bi and tri lingual.
3:12 pm
Soodle
Happy to see most of you survived Thanksgiving :-)
3:14 pm
westford
Hi Sood. We did here in RI
3:14 pm
MollyL
It's been a day of relaxation munching on leftovers. Delightful. : )
3:14 pm
Soodle
Point of order, Molls. One doesn't munch on leftovers.... one grazes!
3:15 pm
Glantarell
oh, so when was thanksgiving? I naively assumed it was this coming Sunday..
3:16 pm
MollyL
Didn't really have the energy for more than that. Five days of food prep and cleaning for the feast wiped me out.
3:16 pm
westford
the 4th Thursday in Nov Glant and hello to you too
3:16 pm
Soodle
Its always the last Thursday in November, Glan.
3:16 pm
Glantarell
and, what's the black friday thing about?
3:17 pm
MollyL
Big sales at all the stores to mark the beginning of holiday shopping
3:17 pm
Glantarell
so why is that black?
3:18 pm
Soodle
I know, Molls, it's crazy, isn't it? You spend the best part of a week cleaning and preparing for the big day, and then.. bang.... its all over (bar the grazing!)
3:18 pm
wht
ty Molly for the el's. Getting called away. bbl
3:18 pm
MollyL
It refers to "in the black" a money term meaning profitable for merchants
3:19 pm
Glantarell
Thanksgiving sounds like Christmas to me - both food and spending LOL
3:20 pm
MollyL
I like that we have a national day that is all about giving thanks.
3:24 pm
Soodle
We are deprived this side of the pond, Glan. Only one day of festivity in our calander!
3:27 pm
MollyL
Hey, for the Irish, every day is a day of festivity.

Greetings kids. How is everyone and how is this grid?
3:59 pm
westford
hi scrab so far so good
4:00 pm
Scrabbler
I am diving in.
4:02 pm
Scrabbler
What is your weather like, lynxxx? Summer is approaching, right?
4:03 pm
lynxxx
Yes. Spring has been really good, not too hot and a bit of rain about where I am.
4:04 pm
Scrabbler
We had an unusually mild day today--sunny, not cold. It was beautiful.
4:05 pm
lynxxx
Do you get snow where you are?
4:07 pm
Scrabbler
Oh, yes, I live in the snow capital of western New York state. Across the valley is a ski resort.
4:07 pm
Scrabbler
We have an average of 130 inches of snow over the winter.
4:07 pm
lynxxx
brrr - no scampering outside for 'real' bunnies
4:08 pm
Scrabbler
Nope. Except for snowshoe hares.
4:08 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It is still Kaplan's birthday.
4:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I want to milk it.

Scrabbler
Have you had a nice day?
4:10 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Here's some upside down candles.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:11 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Nice enough. I like being left to my own devices.
4:11 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Have some virtual cake.
4:11 pm
MollyL
*Puts out cake and ice cream*
4:11 pm
Scrabbler
Me too. I require lots of solitude.
4:11 pm
Scrabbler
It is delicious, Kap! and TY, Molly.
4:12 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I like solitude. Especially when it's by choice.
4:12 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I love ice-cream cake.
4:12 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Especially this kind. It won't make me gain back the 10 pounds I lost.
4:12 pm
Scrabbler
Ice cream...yummy.
4:12 pm
lynxxx
hey - I am a big fan of solitude too
4:13 pm
MollyL
That can be difficult in a relationship where the other person doesn't get your need for time to yourself. I lived through that once.
4:13 pm
Scrabbler
I am glad to know others that enjoy solitude. So many people don't understand the desire or need to be alone.
4:13 pm
Kaplan the Magne
My poor husband never knows what to get on my b'day. I absolved him, because I will buy it myself.
4:14 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am buying myself a massage.
4:14 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I like solitude but have to be careful not to over-isolate.
4:14 pm
Kaplan the Magne
At the same time, I am a social being. Only within certain hours.
4:16 pm
Kaplan the Magne
there is almost a Groucho joke in this grid.
4:16 pm
Kaplan the Magne
"Waiter, do you have ****'s ***s?" "No, it's rheumatism that makes me walk this way."
4:17 pm
Kaplan the Magne
:)
4:17 pm
Scrabbler
*trying to figure out the word*
4:18 pm
Kaplan the Magne
fr4's legs.
4:18 pm
Kaplan the Magne
CTM.
4:19 pm
Kaplan the Magne
CTM is more accurate.
4:19 pm
Scrabbler
Do not try that word.
4:19 pm
Kaplan the Magne
We all just did.
4:19 pm
lynxxx
there are a lot of obscure words in this grid for me, struggling even with the list
4:21 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Did you ever have an orlon sweater?
4:21 pm
Scrabbler
Sounds familiar.
4:21 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hi Welki. ave some of my birthday cake.
4:22 pm
Scrabbler
Welki, how are you feeling?
4:22 pm
welki
sure, kap .. and socks and knitting yarn
4:22 pm
welki
scrabbs, just frustrated. thinking i should be MUCH better by now and, of course, i'm not
4:22 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What's up?
4:23 pm
welki
slept another 14 hours
4:23 pm
Scrabbler
Nope. You need time to heal and recover.
4:23 pm
welki
it's only been since tuesday that i started the meds ... still coughing, still tired ... if i'm still like this on monday, should i call the doc back?
4:24 pm
welki
(pneumonia, kap - and sorry to take away from your HAPPY BIRTHDAY!)
4:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yes.
4:24 pm
lynxxx
what have you done to yourself Welki?
4:24 pm
Scrabbler
If the infection is viral then antibiotic treatment will make no difference.
4:25 pm
lynxxx
ooh Welki - take it easy please - nasty
4:25 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Pneumonia can wipe you out for weeks.
4:26 pm
Scrabbler
You are on an appropriate antibiotic if you have Mycoplasma or Chlamydophila camping out in your lungs. But the cough may linger for wks.
4:26 pm
welki
i'm such a baby - i have forms the doc has to sign because i'm out of work for +5 days - already paranoid that he'll say, "WHAT? YOU BIG BABY, there's nothing wrong with you, you should have been back to work already!"
4:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Take it seriously please.
4:26 pm
Scrabbler
Worrisome signs would be if you worsened---T persisting over 101/38.5, SOB, generally sicker.
4:27 pm
welki
because he said (monday night), once the fever's gone, you can go back to work - but my fever isn't constant, it comes and goes
4:27 pm
welki
SOB? i divorced him years ago
4:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You need to be fever free for 24 hours at least.
4:27 pm
Scrabbler
Fever isn't really a good marker of improvement, It's how you feel, how much endurance you have, how often you are coughing.
4:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
truly.
4:28 pm
welki
hehehe, but kap? the cough ... it's a baddie. lots of pressure that seems to find it's way out in other ways, if you get my ~drift~ certainly can't go to work like that *lol*
4:28 pm
Scrabbler
Haha. I wondered what people would think when I typed SOB.
4:28 pm
welki
so what's SOB mean when you type it, scrabs?
4:28 pm
welki
oh shortness of breath .. got it
4:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I was looking for who was an SOB.
4:30 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Stay out of work as long as possible. At the end of your life, you will not be filled with remorse...
4:30 pm
lynxxx
BBL, time for Stews walk. Look after yourself Welki - and not too much cake Kap. Bye
4:30 pm
Kaplan the Magne
"Gee, I wish I had worked more."
4:30 pm
Scrabbler
Welki, you have been sick so long that you now want to get better NOW.
4:30 pm
welki
thanks lynxxx .. bye for now
4:30 pm
Scrabbler
Bye Lynxxx
4:31 pm
welki
you're wise, kap - but i'm old school and do identify with my job (and scrabb, you're right, i'm sick of being sick)
4:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am a wise guy.
4:31 pm
Scrabbler
I hate being idle and missing work and activities due to illness.
4:32 pm
welki
yep - already holiday things i'm missing
4:32 pm
welki
but - i get a present today for your birthday, kap - asked my other half to stop off and pick up a pulse oximeter and thermometer (because inquiring minds want to know)
4:33 pm
MollyL
Sending healing thoughts your way Welki. You've been sick long enough.
4:33 pm
Scrabbler
Haha. You may as well start recording the stats.
4:33 pm
welki
thanks molly - and my guess is that the chat is sick of me being sick, too :)
4:33 pm
welki
i'm a retired EMT, scrabbs - can't get it out of my blood (haha - punny)
4:34 pm
Scrabbler
I think that you will improve a bit in the next few days.
4:34 pm
welki
positive about being sick: lost a few pounds
4:35 pm
Scrabbler
Yep, that is the only benefit of being ill.
4:35 pm
welki
*picturing scrabbler with a card pressed against her forehead, just like johnny carson*
4:36 pm
MollyL
Your chat buddies just want you to feel better Welki.
: )
4:36 pm
Scrabbler
We typically advise giving an antibiotic at least 4-5d to make a difference. I would be worried if you were worsening.
4:37 pm
welki
not worried yet - husb says i'm not coughing as often, but am coughing as severely
4:37 pm
welki
and, lucky for him, i can't get more than a sentence or two out before i can't talk :)
4:39 pm
welki
i'd go stir crazy if not for you folks
4:39 pm
lil*monkey
How about a clue for the si9?
4:40 pm
Scrabbler
I have worked through similar episodes--trying to hold the coughing back.
4:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
we're not sick of you being sick. This is a place for being whatever you are.
4:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It's a compound, Monk.
4:40 pm
Scrabbler
Hi Monkey. I have no 8s or 9.
4:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne

4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah.
4:41 pm
Scrabbler
Oooh, I found it.
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
There is antifreeze but there is no profog.
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am profog.
4:42 pm
welki

4:43 pm
lil*monkey

Surprising, since oldish names are coming back. Abigail, etc.
4:44 pm
lil*monkey
There's too many Katelynns and Morgans and Bethanys, no more Eloise or Margaret or Katherine
4:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Harriet and Gladys never came back.

4:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Neither did Pearl.
4:45 pm
lil*monkey

4:45 pm
MollyL
Mildred never came back either. Probably a good thing.
4:45 pm

my stage name would have been hazeltine dubois
4:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Wilma.
4:45 pm
lil*monkey
or Velma
4:45 pm
Scrabbler
..and too many Isabellas, Olivias, Ellas, Emmas, Sophias...I have witnessed the trends over the last 20+ yrs.
4:45 pm
lil*monkey
How do you get a stage name, welki?
4:45 pm
Scrabbler
Blanche, Stella, Bertha
4:46 pm
welki

4:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne

4:48 pm
MollyL
Oui oui, Ovaltine. C'est bon!
4:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh oh, don't start with Nancy now...
4:48 pm
welki
candy kept her name (probably her stage name, too - lol) and nancy changed hers to lipton
4:48 pm
lil*monkey
Je m'appelle Ovaltine
4:48 pm
Scrabbler
There are some last names that should be forbidden. Lipshitz is one. Dick is another.
4:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Candace parents should have been arrested.
4:48 pm
lil*monkey
I went to college with Sara Lee
4:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Fallek is another.
4:49 pm
MollyL
With a name like Candy Kane, I can see pole dancing in her future.
4:49 pm
lil*monkey
I once worked with Phil Kunz (I swear I'm not making this up)
4:49 pm
Scrabbler
In my practice I have a 2 mo old baby named Nancy.
4:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I know someone whose last name is Putz.
4:49 pm
welki
if she can still make a living on a pole, more power to her --- we're not kids anymore *lmao*
4:49 pm
Scrabbler
I had a patient named Kellie Kelly.
4:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
And she uses it because she thinks her single name is to Waspy. So she is Dr. Putz.

Kaplan the Magne
Doris Day.
4:51 pm

Ugh. She is the most annoying actress in Hollywood.

Who Doris Day? The most annoying actress? Really? Have you never seen Debra Winger?
4:52 pm
Scrabbler
Bette Midler totally anoys me, and Barbra Streisand.
4:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Debra WInger is more annoying than Doris Day?

4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Have you ever seen Midler on stage?
4:54 pm

BEtte Midler and I went to the same elementary school :)
4:54 pm

I'm in the minority. I find Nicole Kidman so annoying that I refuse to watch any movie she's in.
4:54 pm
Scrabbler
Nope, and wouldn't. I prefer quiet, humble, modest people.
4:55 pm
Scrabbler
Molly, I am like that with Julia Roberts. I find her so unauthentic.
4:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I like that they are out-there jewish women in the tradition of Sophie Tucker and Fanny Brice.
4:55 pm
lil*monkey
I boycott Drba Winger, Julia bigmouth Roberts and Angelina Jolie husband stealer
4:55 pm
Scrabbler
It's interesting to discuss preferences and dislikes, isn't it?
4:55 pm
MollyL
Julia Roberts doesn't bother me so much, but I don't think she's as good of an actress as her paychecks would indicate.
4:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Nicole Kidman looks like she needs to swallow.
4:55 pm
lil*monkey
Agree, Molly
4:56 pm
lil*monkey
Swallow what
4:56 pm

I just found the Baltimore bird. Yay.
4:56 pm

Ooh, and the naval officer.
4:57 pm

It's so natural for me, I don't even think of it is "in the gutter"
4:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am not brash myself, but I admire it.
4:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Lil Monkey, are you bragging?
4:58 pm
MollyL
Laura Linney is one of my favorite actresses. I have liked her in everything I've seen her in.
4:58 pm
lil*monkey
bragging? not at all
4:58 pm
Scrabbler
Oh, yes, she was especially good in the John Adams series.
4:58 pm

Especially her reality show- Roseanne's Nuts.

Scrabbler, I think I get your taste!

You would not like some of my relatives.

I loved the John Adams series. I was so glad it picked up so many, well deserved Emmy's.

Like I said earlier, I prefer quiet, humble, modest, polite people.
5:01 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can't stand Kate Hudson.
5:01 pm
Kaplan the Magne
No Sarah Silverman, I guess.
5:01 pm
MollyL
Kate Hudson is over rated.
5:02 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Margaret Cho- another.
5:02 pm
Scrabbler
She's not a real actress, just a pretty blond to play opposite a cute boy.
5:02 pm
Kaplan the Magne
We agree there.
5:03 pm

Alas there are very few greats anymore. No one of the caliber of Joanne Woodward or Jessica Tandy.

Even though I am no way ne 4/4 to fireworks, I have reached my go 4/6 of finding at least half the words. My total points eq5/16 to 2004 points. Now here is a story of clues. I lo5/14d to be a teacher ever since I was young. My great na 4/4 inspired me to become a teacher.At first I wanted to become a pr4/8fesor at a university. That was a wr 5/22 decision though. So I decided to be an ESL teacher where I could teach a ra5/14 of grades from Pre-k to 12th grade. Now I ea 4/4 a living in the ro4/4 of an ESOL teacher in the re 6/24 of Westchester, NY. I'm a little biased in that I prefer to teach gi 4/6 than boys. I also do not like to teach la 5/14 groups of kids. It is much easier to ma 6/26 smaller groups. Husband is being an og 4/6 and wants the computer. Hubby doesn't want to wait for the computer any lo6/24.If I do not give it to him,he will get into a ro4/4ing ra 4/6 and start making some no 5/10. I re4/4ly do not want to stir up his an 5/14 so I will give the computer to him.I'm going to re6/24 from Babble for now. I am going to be a ri 5/10 and ri 4/4 out of this seat and go watch My Name is Ea 4/4.
6:36 pm
