well last weekend the community choir that I JUST joined did 3 concerts of spanish Christmas songs.

1:12 am

m9f9l

and then tonight was the Messiah

1:13 am

flosey

oh wow, I can only imagine

1:14 am

m9f9l

Elina had a camera that can do video. But she didn't really know how to use it. ANd then the battery died.LOL

1:14 am

m9f9l

but if you like I'll put link in my profile for a moment so you can hear me...

1:14 am

flosey

I remember singing in the church choir when I was much younger, we were going on radio so the regular director was temporarily replaced by a pro - wow the difference!

1:14 am

m9f9l

the snippet she got

1:15 am

flosey

I'd love it m9, please do

1:16 am

m9f9l

m9f9l

and then I'm going to remove it!LOL

1:16 am

flosey

ok, going now

1:18 am

flosey

is it the first one m9? if so, I can't open it

1:19 am

m9f9l

how did you try and open it? you're not sticking that in the youtube search window again are you?

1:19 am

flosey

no, in firefox

1:20 am

m9f9l

hmm.. it worked for one friend.

1:21 am

flosey

which one is it? there are 4

1:22 am

flosey

the last one is wedding pics

1:22 am

m9f9l

1:23 am

1:25 am

flosey

Beautiful m9, very pretty little church too

1:25 am

m9f9l

ah it worked.

1:25 am

m9f9l

yes. interesting story there..

1:26 am

m9f9l

when they built the new (ugly) catholic church in town they were going to tear that down! Locals raised funds and took it over.

1:27 am

m9f9l

they saved it.

1:28 am

flosey

interesting, I think it's lovely

1:28 am

flosey

I've saved this to pass on to Jilli, ok?

1:28 am

m9f9l

hard to see in that vid just how lovely it is!

1:29 am

flosey

am sure she wil love to hear you

1:30 am

m9f9l

yes that is ok

1:30 am

flosey

thanks

1:30 am

m9f9l

One of the other soloists is interested in my giving her voice lessons! Her mother taped it and so I hope to get a full vid of that piece.

1:31 am

flosey

do you teach? or would this be a private lesson

1:32 am

m9f9l

http://www.oldstpeterslandmark.org/int
erest.htm

1:32 am

m9f9l

it would be private. I've given private lessons before but it's been a while

1:33 am

m9f9l

if you go to that link (if it's not too long) I think the part about the madonna is interesting.

1:33 am

flosey

very interesting, will pass this on to Jilli too

1:34 am

m9f9l

When we sing the Messiah, a woman plays the organ up in the loft.

1:35 am

flosey

oh, I'd love to hear it

1:37 am

m9f9l

I don't think she's playing during that clip...

1:37 am

m9f9l

more during the choral bits.

1:42 am

Hi Ruby. Up to have coffee and find a few words before an early morning trip to the grocery store.

rubyfoo

VERY early morning grocery run

4:43 am

rubyfoo

it's almost lunchtime here and off to the local Italian resto in the snow

4:44 am

rubyfoo

to see my lover-boy Capone, the Malinois who calls me "Tatie Nancy"

4:44 am

rubyfoo

(not really, but when his owner says Tatie Nancy is coming, his ears perk up and he gets all excited!)

4:46 am

MollyL

Have a good lunch with the boys

4:47 am

rubyfoo

it's terrible to love dogs this much, mine and other people's

4:47 am

MollyL

Probably not so terrible. : )

4:47 am

6:27 am

JesDreher

can anyone clue the bu6/7 for me by chance?

6:28 am

Aloyisius

rhymes with baby dogs

6:29 am

JesDreher

thanks so much

6:29 am

Aloyisius

np - strange word(s)

6:36 am

MollyL

And...they would qualify as acronyms, which supposedly are not allowed..but whatever

6:36 am

Aloyisius

Happy Sunday, Molly

6:37 am

MollyL

Hey Aloy

6:37 am

Aloyisius

you actually know the meaning?

6:46 am

MollyL

Yes, it's a stupid urban acronym.

6:46 am

Aloyisius

newbie to me

6:47 am

Aloyisius

missed the punctuation mark, ti5.12

6:58 am

MollyL

Most people have no clue what that is called

6:59 am

MollyL

Same goes for ellipsis

6:59 am

Aloyisius

don't believe grammar/punctuation is taught much anymore.. certainly dinosaurs like diagramming sentences have gone poofsy

7:01 am

MollyL

And that could be a good thing (about diagramming sentences). I think I'm seriously warped from all the sentences I diagrammed in 8th grad.

7:01 am

MollyL

Or grade.

7:01 am

Aloyisius

well, there I've gone and done it.. FW.. I hated doing the diagrams too

7:02 am

Aloyisius

just for fun, I'm going to look up some of the weirdo words

7:02 am

jmcnrick

hi all

7:02 am

jmcnrick

i loved diagramming sentences

7:03 am

Aloyisius

hi jmc, lover of diagramming

7:03 am

jmcnrick

and i think the reason so many this i read today have sentence fragments and run-on sentences is because diagramming is out of style

7:03 am

jmcnrick

hey snuffy

7:04 am

Aloyisius

vi7.48 = division of Turkish govt... everyday word, lol

7:05 am

jmcnrick

if you are in turkey it is

7:05 am

Aloyisius

sigh, I see what you mean, Molly.. bu6.33= a black professional person, working in the city.. stoooooooooooooooopid word!

7:06 am

jmcnrick

it had its use in 1970s

7:07 am

Aloyisius

how did I escape hearing it? H'mmm... well, I was in the country

7:07 am

jmcnrick

i especially like it because it is the only word i have found so far!

7:07 am

Aloyisius

lol jmc, and I had never seen it!

7:07 am

jmcnrick

ah now i have a few i feel better

7:10 am

Aloyisius

have seen na5.12 before, but never looked it up. It is an insecticide..

7:10 am

jmcnrick

babble is so educational

7:11 am

Aloyisius

... and ni5.12 means "bright".. (-:

7:13 am

Aloyisius

this is so fun.. but I have to get going, will leave you with si6.24 = a small piece of bread soaked in gravy.. didn't know that either! So now I have my Babble "fix" and jollies for today (-:

7:13 am

jmcnrick

mmmmmm gravy

7:13 am

jmcnrick

bye snuffy have a great day!

7:14 am

Aloyisius

9:08 am

crosshair

well,with the apples you can make crossys slow cooker jamacian pulled pork

9:09 am

EvaNadine

dont have pork. trying to figure out what i can add to my day-o-baking with what i have on hand.
mayhaps an apple-pear crumble... or pear-applesauce

9:09 am

crosshair

well how about apple foldovers

9:10 am

EvaNadine

9:10 am

bu

9:11 am

make the pastry cut into squares,fill with mashed apple,sinnamon mic,fold over into triangles,use egg white to seal edges and pinch with thumb,cut 3 slits in to and sprinkle with sugar

9:11 am

crosshair

mix

9:12 am

crosshair

after baking use a cake decorating bag with fine tip and add icing sugar lines

9:12 am

crosshair

olde tyme fruit foldovers

9:13 am

crosshair

or sift icing sugar over after with kitchen sieve

9:13 am

gramma

PB for you crossy!

9:14 am

crosshair

4 large apples should make enough filling for 8-12 foldovers

9:14 am

crosshair

off i go...

9:14 am

crosshair

needed that one too:)

9:14 am

gramma

Hi everybody! I just finished. Vi7....what the ??? It took forever and some help.

9:15 am

crosshair

and i see no reason not to combine the apples and the pears

9:15 am

crosshair

vi 7??? eep!

9:16 am

gramma

It's " a province or main administrative division of Turkey." of course.

9:16 am

bichon

what a weird word, in a game of weird words

9:16 am

crosshair

so mash the apples and pears,add cinnamon,and if you like a spoon or 2 of brown sugar

9:17 am

crosshair

an administrative division of turkey?? omg

9:17 am

di

9:18 am

Instead of sugar, we use maple syrup.

9:18 am

crosshair

that works as well

9:19 am

gramma

And now you have made me hungry. See ya, munch, munch, munch

9:19 am

crosshair

things like this are great,anything can be added,sugars can be substituted,fruit can be changed..all grand stuff

9:20 am

crosshair

secret is to not use to much filling or they will explode..a good tablespoon should be fine

9:21 am

crosshair

cut your pastry squares about 4x4

9:22 am

Sheryl Crow stood up at a VHS Storyteller's taping that Don Henley did and asked how much a person could make as a back up singer these days. Henley's response was "I can't afford you anymore, darlin"

half a teaspoon

11:59 am

12:04 pm

Glantarell

it was the homonym I was missing

12:04 pm

rubyfoo

but as for the holidays, I agree with glanta!

12:04 pm

hego

Oh, Glant. : )

12:05 pm

hego

None for us as yet.

12:06 pm

Glantarell

we've has couple of flurries and the mountains look pretty but none lying on the gound, thank goodness

12:07 pm

Glantarell

there are some very odd words in this grid

12:07 pm

hego

After our 31 incher last year We're immune to the beauty of snow.

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

Oh, dear

Glantarell

sort of but has a different meaning

12:14 pm

hego

I want it to take tuile

12:14 pm

I agree that the holiday season is too commercialized. You can hardly go into a store after late October without being assaulted by Christmas muzak and red and green decorations. This year Nordstrom pledged not to do decorations till after November 24 and they got a lot of positive press on it. I don't think anybody wants the holidays to last for months!

12:14 pm

Glantarell

first 4 letters are the same as the 2 words before it

12:14 pm

hego

ty Glant

12:15 pm

hego

I don't think of Christmas until after Thanks giving.

I simply refuse to.

12:16 pm

Glantarell

we had our first xams items in the supermarkets in the frst week of september

12:16 pm

Glantarell

no wonder i feel bah humbuggy

12:16 pm

hego

See!

12:17 pm

jan

But I admit to enjoying this season more than others. Our dear little grandnephew is experiencing his first Christmas--he's about three but cognitively impaired, so last year he didn't appreciate any of it. This year he loves the tree, the music, the lights...

12:17 pm

hego

It's great with a little one around

12:18 pm

jan

We took him to the Christmas carrousel downtown and he was just thrilled.

12:18 pm

4:07 pm

welki

when he was a kid, he'd ask me questions, just to test me (like all kids) - but weird ones, like, "why is this called a counter?" and i'd scramble to make up some cockamamie story about the origin of the word counter - from grecian times, when monies were tallied on long marble tables

4:08 pm

welki

and then he'd look at me - true or false? "go look it up"

4:08 pm

uusue2

ha, got it, lynxxx!

4:11 pm

Soodle

Welki.. he sounds like a great son! Hello all :-)

4:11 pm

welki

probably - and song lyrics, too. he'd test me on those - what is that song about? "that one by Amy Sky," and i'd tell him it was about a dog who ate a whole roast off a COUNTER - it was called, "love ate the whole damned thing" ---- go look it up. and then he saw it was "love, hate, the whole damn thing"

4:13 pm
