oh!!! you are there, katie. emotionally a little on the unstable side, just weepy. physically, knee stiff after doing 3 shifts this week.
2:39 am
grannyrose
have joined a support group, and found out all is 'normal' for following such major surgery. i just have to ride it out. Don is being so wonderfully supportive.
2:39 am
KatieMcG
Oh no granny I'm sorry to hear that. I know what you mean about meandering off I'm always doing it. I just hope people don't think I am just rude, scatty but not deliberately rude.

nah, katie, never that.

I need to get ready for Church soon. I haven't been for 2 weeks as I was on holiday and I'm duty warden today so I need to put a bit of effort in

Thanks flosey :)
2:42 am

2:43 am

nice to have friends like flosey, isn't it katie?
2:43 am
flosey
you've supported so many of us over time rose
2:43 am
KatieMcG
It certainly is :)
2:44 am
grannyrose
don't what i did without all you guys and gals. you have to be the most remarkable chog i have ever been in.
2:45 am
flosey
it is a great group of friends, isn't it, have never seen sugh support in computer games, etc
2:45 am
flosey
**such support
2:46 am
grannyrose
my own take on what is happening...the last of the anaesthetic drugs are leaving my liver...hence my weakened emotional state. as i said i just have to ride it out. and i can take the extra time off work...have the paid hours there.
2:46 am
KatieMcG
years ago when I split with my long term partner and started to l**e on my own for the first time it was the chog which helped me through on many a late night. and then were with me through meeting hubby and the wedding, I feel like it has been a big part of mylife
2:47 am

Are work being supportive?
2:47 am

to my face they are....like my immediate colleagues are wonderful, more friends if you know what i mean. as for the hierarchy, well anything goes. but they aren't gonna get away with pushing me around..
2:48 am
flosey
Happy Birthday to imogen, and you enjoy too sarah

2:50 am
KatieMcG
I think that is the best way Granny, when I went back my friends were great but some people at my level obviously thought that stress was catching and treated me like I was contagious where as the hierarchy were terrified of me and couldn't have been nicer

3:11 am
grannyrose
cyst or boil/carbuncle? cysts don't have anything to do with weight....boils/carbuncles maybe. are they infected, sarah?
3:13 am
grannyrose

3:13 am
sarah6girls
this one is hurts like hell but am on pills that are ment to stop me keep getting them

3:26 am

Ruby is still breathless from walking/running Mr. Rufie-crazy-boy, but I think/hope that the exercise is good for me although I saw a neighbor and she thought I looked extremely pale (and at the end of summer, too!)
3:26 am
grannyrose

3:28 am
grannyrose
ruby, you take care of you, please, dearest friend. when is DIL due?
3:30 am
rubyfoo
on the 26th or 27th. And I hope she sorts out this computer because,right now I can't see what I type when I type letters. Sometimes they go and others, not. Also, I can't open the files I've made of correspondence in my efforts to be neat.
3:31 am
grannyrose

The word “pie” can be traced to the 13th century, but in the old days, the dessert was more commonly known as a “coffin" or "coffyn.” In fact, “coffin” was used in this context for 300 years before it was applied to a burial casket.

Help for na5,16 -- the very first na word -- please
10:25 am
Haz1558
The first na5/16 is an anagram of the second (meaning unsophisticated, unworldly) - and it's a latin plural so that might help with the ending.

Hello all. Haz--I haven't seen you in a while. Doing ok?
10:29 am
Erda
yes, but there's a point when you really have to ask yourself: is this really fun?
10:29 am
MollyL
Ru, I got an email from my football loving son early this morning. He's jazzed about opening day. : )
10:30 am
Haz1558
I'm doing okay, indeed.
10:30 am
Scrabbler
So true, Erda. Then it's time to say good-bye to the grid.
10:30 am

me too.. I have to work today but i'll be driving and listening on the radio
10:30 am

I agree. No point when it's no fun.
10:30 am

Well, I suppose if a particular grid isn't fun, then you can decide not to carry on with that one, but there'll always be delightful ones to make it a happier experience.

It was 54 degrees when I got up this morning. How gorgeous is that?

Some grids are more fun. The giant grids are the most fun because you can type, type, type.

I know what you mean, Erda, sometimes it's just exasperating. Tomorrow it might be great.

Bath is lovely--I envy you, Haz. Their free walking tours are great--lots of information by folks who've lived their a long time.
10:36 am
Scrabbler
I looked at a map. You will be somewhat close to Lizsark in Taunton/Somerset.
10:36 am

Yes, we took a walking tour last year and really enjoyed it.

"Royal Crescent and Circus" looks beautiful.

And Castle Coombe is in the vicinity--supposed to be the prettiest village in England.

We're hoping to vist Lacock where some Pride and Prejudice scenes were filmed.
10:39 am
Scrabbler
Oh, Jan, Castle Combe looks magical! I want to be there!
10:39 am
Haz1558
I think what I like about older cities is that they're still living, breathing, working places. The buildings may be old but they're still used.
10:39 am
jan
That's well worth a visit, especially the abbey there. We happened upon Lacock when there was a church sponsored jumble sale and I bought a nice little wooden bowl made by one of the elderly parishoners. Makes me think of Lacock whenever I put it out filled with nuts.
10:41 am

What I like about England is that it is filled with the most interesting rural places that haven't been at all Disneyfied--they're real landscapes and real villages.
10:42 am
Scrabbler
That's ok, Ruru. No shame in finding a way to save time and do other things with your day.
10:42 am
Haz1558
Exactly, jan, they're living places, not just to be looked at.
10:42 am

Yes, Jan, and I MUST visit the UK someday.

I"m not sure I'd want to be in London.. but the countryside sounds lovely
10:43 am

I must admit I had to laugh in Oxford one day when I heard a tourist remarking that they had made the place 'look' old with the cobbles. It IS old and the cobbles have always been there.

A couple of years ago, we did a walking tour through the Cotswolds. One of my favorite days was one where we rambled into the village of naughton--not on anyone's tourist map, but a fine little Cotswold village with a great pub, the Black Horse, where the food was good, the beer superb, and the locals friendly and engaging.
10:44 am
MollyL
Oh they will look twice, and gasp in awe. "Who is that stylish woman in the twinset and pearls!!"
10:45 am

The Cotswolds are just magical - even the names like Lower Slaughter and Upper Slaughter, Stow-on-the-Wold.

Ruru, don't sell London short. You can think of it as a collection of villages, itself. And I could spend years wandering the halls of the British Museum. (And it's free!!)
10:46 am
Haz1558
London is intimidating if you look on it as a whole, but jan is right, break it down into smaller areas.
10:46 am
Scrabbler
The folks on our street go out for dinner every other Friday evening and one woman grew up in London then moved here 25 yrs ago when she married a Texan.
10:46 am
jan
Last time I was in the Slaughters, they were having an old fashioned car club parade. It was great to see old Stanley Steamers, etc. running through the lanes of the village.
10:46 am
MollyL
Well Jan, with a pub like that, I would have just stayed put. : )
10:47 am
jan
Molly, we did! Turned out they had a couole of rooms upstairs, we snagged one!
10:47 am
MollyL
Sounds great Jan. I would love to see a village. They look so charming in pictures.
10:48 am
Haz1558
They're charming unless you happen to live in one of those Midsomer villages. That series makes me laugh, idyllic settings and mounting body counts.

We used to get to the UK almost every summer--my DH is British--but since so many of his relatives have passed on, we don't have as many reasons to go. Still, I have been asked ot be scholar in residence at Aston University in Birmingham this spring, so that may be an excuse to go back and visit some of our favorite haunts. (though I am guessing tha B'ham might not be one of them! Spent a couple of days there at a conference once--great Indian food but a group of us got relieved of our purses at knifepoint on the way back.)

Me, too, ruru. I'm stuck at 60 to go and I think that's how it will stay for me. I don't mind not finishing (or even coming close) as long as I enjoyed the part of the grid I've worked. When it stops being fun, I'm out of here.
11:11 am

That is the way to go Jan. It is, after all, a game. Not a conquest.

Yup. A few years back I realized that I was seeing Babble as a chore to do. That was a shock to me. Also, it had become a thief of time. So I thought I needed to quit. But it turns out that I just needed to recalibrate my engagement with Babble. So now I Babble till it isn't fun anymore--meaning I finish probably one grid in 10. But it works for me.
11:15 am
MollyL
Short for a disguised spy.
11:16 am

Ah, so many things on the internet are thieves of time. Good phrase Jan. I'm constantly amazed at how much time people spend on the computer.

I gave up babble for lent 3 years ago. Before that I had to finish every grid. Never really came back to it in the same way. Pop in for a chat and a quick play when I have time and have only finished one grid in a couple of years because i can't be bothered to list, I still love the game just in a different way

periwinkle
I forgot the name of the place that made it :(
4:28 pm
crosshair
and for those who have tried woah....
4:28 pm
crosshair
The OED lists woah as a variant of woa which is a variant of whoa, which is a variant of the interjection who (not to be confused with the pronoun who--the interjection is pronounced as wo--which is also a variant of all these), which came into the language as a variant of ho! Here are the dates of the OED's quotations for these spellings of the pronunciation /wo/ when it means 'stop!':
who c.1450-1859
wo 1787-1894
woa 1840-1892
woah 1856 (one example--included under the headword woa)
whoa 1843-1898 (but, of course, we know it's still used)

5:03 pm

I just checked the TV programmes -- no Paralympics. We do get little scraps in the regular news -- Canadians did pretty well, I think.
5:05 pm
lynxxx
we did quite a good coverage down here. The Paralympics are very inspirational
5:05 pm
KatieMcG
They were amazing, what people can do in the face of barriers is amazing. It has gone a long way to change the way in which disability is viewed over here

damn shame they weren't shown here

TheHuge Jer
TheHuge® notes that he has received numerous questions from erstwhile & present friends that seek direction in their obviously misguided lives. TheHuge® has taken time off from his busy schedule to answer some of the most popular FAQS in the order & frequency received:
1. Yes, TheHuge® can neither confirm nor deny that he possesses nuclear weapons.
2. For TheHuge®'s American friends, #1 above can be read as "Nukular".
3. Anne, Lord TheHuge® is sufficient; "Jer" is inappropriate unless you upgrade your friendship subscription..
4. Yes Virginia, there is TheHuge®.
5. No, Cynthia. Marriage between species never results in a good time.
6. Yes!!, TheHuge®'s body is composed entirely of Higg's Bosons, i.e., "God" particles. You are thus correct in assuming he is a "Polly" deity.
7.TheHuge® is not prepared to come out of the closet. In fact, TheHuge® has never been in the closet. He has a bevy of valets that manage his Armani® ties and business feathers.
8. No. Celery is best, but it can't be too limp.
9. In answer to Bo Peep! : Steven Harper's penis is about 3 cm. when erect. For our American friends, this is about 13 inches, i.e., about 6 inches below the Canadian "norm". TheHuge® also notes that Harper is a convicted fig plucker and during his undergraduate daze was convicted of molesting sheep. TheHuge® wouldn't want him as a neighbour or a P.M.
10. For TheHuge®'s questions from Japanese friends, Harper will go to great lengths to maintain his election. His testicles nevertheless remain on TheHuge®'s trophy wall.

5:19 pm

5:20 pm

My sis-in-law was an air traffic controller that day, out of Maryland. She had to tell all the planes in her airspace to put down or be shot down. She said they all put down. No reaction, just "Yes m'am, where do I go?"

hi Champ. What a day

I agree. I think you find the best/worst of people in crisis.
5:46 pm
Soodle
OMG Champ. Incredible!
5:47 pm
ChampFit
But I have to say, I was APPALLED at the number of people who went to get their kids from school, to hunker down in fear. REALLY? I felt my children were safer in the big, brick school than at home.

ChampFit
That's the only I I have!
5:48 pm
MollyL
I think that was a panic reaction Champ. Especially here in the DC Metro area because the Pentagon had been targeted. There really was a feeling of "what's next" and people want their children close to them in a time of crisis.
5:49 pm
ChampFit
I know it was, but I live in a small town outside of Houston TX. In my mind, making my kids fearful wasn't the best way to handle things.

Hello all. I have a z back, and well its so sad, there is no z in the grid.

fw and good riddance to this nasty grid. Last word was wo 4/8, an archaic one meaning dwells; abides; stays. Bah.

good for you! Happy FW!

Oooh...Jilibus, can you send me the link to expert? I had it, but it's gone for some reason.

Oh I'me fine now, thanks, red -- running around as before.

TY! No clue why it went away from my computer. I try not to use it till the last minute, but it's lovely to have.
6:01 pm
jillibus
Why punish yourself, champ? Expert can be used all the time, and if you don't want the list you can hide it.
6:02 pm
ChampFit
idk...I just like doing it alone as long as I can. It's too tempting the other way.
6:03 pm
jillibus
red -- what have you been up to lately? Your profile wishes us a happy Christmas, LOL!
6:04 pm
jillibus
You can still do it alone, champ -- you can hide the chog too. It's just so handy tohave that Lickety Add box where things go to the right place.
6:05 pm
ChampFit
I know! It's just my weird way...I save it for later. Silly, but it works in my crazy mind. ;)
6:06 pm
jillibus
You said it, champ!
6:08 pm
redturtlehead
Yes, I decided not to change my picture much. Mostly a lot of running, and work, and I am on a diet which is not very fun.
6:08 pm
redturtlehead
I miss having the icon themes, but it seems we have gottne away from them. so I stuck with the new years grabbing the bull by the horns.
6:11 pm
jillibus
people were not following the themes much and it was a nuisance for Sprite
6:12 pm
ChampFit
I admired you all for doing it, but it's a bit of a pain for me. I'm so in and out.
6:12 pm
ChampFit
Red...you didn't say what the diet is. What's the gist?
6:28 pm

searching on line for a rolling laundry hamper since I now wash my clothes in the bldg laundry room down on the first floor... such is life in SF
7:19 pm
Jillyjill
I've seen a few of them. Certainly feel for you...the best day in my life was when I had my first washing machine (mind you, no dryer at that time though). I'm sorta a type A and sitting in a laundromat is NOT something I can do...
7:19 pm
Deutsch
kje, I found a rolling laundry hamper at wal-mart that is about six inches wide and two feet long. Seems narrow, but the bottom fills out to hold a lot of clothes. I roll it everywhere in the house. The sides are cloth and velcro. If that helpls.
7:20 pm
kje
I don't sit there. this is a small bldg, just 12 units.... I take my stuff down, throw 2 loads in at once, come back up, then go back down in 40 minutes and throw it in the dryers, come back up, etc
7:20 pm
kje
thanks deutsch
7:20 pm

Plus, it fits between dressers and in tight spaces.

7:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:25 pm
Jillyjill

7:25 pm
kje

7:25 pm
kje
did it look good, TO?
7:26 pm
rururocks
I don't really text.. email yes. text no
7:26 pm
Jillyjill
Texting much more efficient.
7:26 pm
kje
I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks ; )
7:26 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes,it was brunch
7:26 pm
kje
seriously, jilly - it is so efficient and fast
7:27 pm
kje
(emphasis on the old, not the dog)
7:27 pm
Jillyjill
Not sure I could live without texting...
7:27 pm
Dorens
c'mon now. even I text and i'm older than all of you
7:28 pm
MollyL
I don't text either.
7:28 pm
kje
just looked at it on line, TO - looks promising... will add it to the list
7:28 pm
Jillyjill
Yay for Dorens!!
7:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
i text. it is great if you are in a public place that is too noisy for a call
7:28 pm
Dorens
but i only do it rarely and with people who are committed texters
7:29 pm
Jillyjill
It can get a little excessive....
7:29 pm
Dorens
anyone here experienced with slo cookers? am considering trying it for ratatouille... gorgeous vegetables at today's farmers' market
7:29 pm
kje
like everything, it has it's niche... but it feels its niche fabulously!
7:29 pm
kje
will be too wet, dorens
7:29 pm
MollyL
I use my slow cooker a lot.
7:29 pm
rururocks
ratatouille cooks quickly on it's own
7:30 pm
Jillyjill
Yesterday I attended a Diabetes HCP Conference. Sat midway back...lots of the people <35 were texting, FB, Scrabble...all during the education session.
7:30 pm
kje
ratatouille needs to cook off some of the liquid, slow cookers allow nothing to evaporate
7:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
i would be concerned that you would get mush
7:30 pm
rururocks
i made an eggplant mozzerella casserole the other day that was yummo
7:30 pm
kje
slow cookers are best for braising... Bittman had a good article on how best to use
7:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
i do have a friend who makes it in the oven
7:31 pm
Jillyjill
I really LOVE my slow cooker. Get things ready the night before, throw them in the pot as I leave for work and when I get home it smells like I was home cooking all day!
7:31 pm
MollyL
That's the best part, Jilly.
7:31 pm
kje
I made various veggies from the farmer's market last night, ru... fridge is full of fruits and veggies and I am falling behind!
7:32 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:32 pm
Dorens
this is all true. i always do ratatouille every summer and it just occurred to me that i haven't yet, so i have the makings.
7:32 pm
Jillyjill
Then I add in my bread maker on a timer and BOOM!! the best supper
7:32 pm
rururocks
(lots of explosions in Jilly's house)
7:33 pm
Riverdance

7:34 pm
Dorens

7:34 pm
Riverdance

7:34 pm
Dorens

7:34 pm
rururocks

Dorens

7:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:35 pm
MollyL
<--Thinks cold soup is icky.
7:35 pm
Riverdance
no I went to a tribute lunch with 10 other girl friends for a friend we lost last fall. Her parents invited us over for a day of memories, laughter...etc. They put on the most amazing display of food
7:35 pm
rururocks
<--likes hot tomato soup personally
7:36 pm
Dorens

7:36 pm
Riverdance
I would have liked it better warm but it was still very good
7:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
<----with Molly on this one
7:36 pm
Dorens
i used to hate tomato soup (cause i had only had campbell's). then a friend made "french" tomato soup with bacon and sherry. oooooh la la!
7:36 pm
kje
sorry about the occasion, river, but sounds like a nice time overall... gazpacho is great when well made
7:36 pm
MollyL

7:36 pm
rururocks

7:37 pm
Riverdance

7:37 pm
kje
I've had several chilled soups that are quite good... including a sorrel soup at a benefit dinner in the spring - quite delicious
7:37 pm
Riverdance
then the gazpacho and hour later
7:37 pm
MollyL
<--Thinks Dorens likes anything with wine in it
7:37 pm
rururocks

Dorens

7:38 pm
Riverdance
and then they had baby back ribs, corn, german potato salad...all yum
7:38 pm
Dorens
river, that food does sound great (note there is no mention of wine, molly)
7:38 pm
Riverdance
Mom is from Germany so her german potato salad was out of this world
7:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:38 pm
Dorens

7:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
opps dinner bell ringing brb
7:39 pm
MollyL
Now that is food, River. Can't quite see how they paired it up with froo-froo gazpacho, but it sounds like you enjoyed your meal.
7:39 pm
Riverdance
I dont dare say how many bottles we went through. First started with champayne for the toast to Nicola and then the wines came out.... thank goodness I was not driving. We spent 7 hours there - it was a terrific day with wonderful people sorely missing their daughter
7:40 pm
Riverdance
the froo-froo was just the apetizers..
7:40 pm
Riverdance
ruru - I am a virgin in many ways...hehe!
7:40 pm
Riverdance

7:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:43 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:51 pm
72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl
i am faster but you may have me for endurance
8:21 pm
Minveryork
There's no way I could walk 4 miles.I'm so out of shape
8:21 pm
Jillyjill
No nrkii, think your comment is a good reminder for all of us...
8:21 pm
MollyL
I used that word because it's been used by others to complain about spelling critics. Yet those same people are critical of how people clue. I was poking fun at hypocrisy.
8:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
and nrkii i am toying with the idea of making that phone call now, i know the recipient is a night person
8:21 pm
Jillyjill
Walking here now would be akin to smoking a pack of cigarettes...
8:21 pm
Minveryork
How is the grid? I am just getting here. Is it doable in an hour (with list)? Not sure if I should start this one or not
8:22 pm
72 Temple Owl
but may be too late, will do it tomorrow
8:22 pm
nrkii
Min, it's doable with list, I think. I haven't finished yet, but I'm down to 15 without list (with the kind help of the chog)
8:22 pm
Jillyjill
Not really too bad, lots of plurals
8:22 pm
72 Temple Owl

this just amazes me, each new generation of children. a cousin of mine has such a lovely family, three grown up daughters, who are now having children of their own. it's such a beautiful thing. i did not have children, which is possibly why it strikes me as such a surprise. All of a sudden beautiful children all over the place. And everyone is so happy. really lovely.
9:18 pm
MollyL
2Bit has a very prolific family.
9:20 pm
dan2bit
we are blessed - my folks are still with us, and now awaiting grandchild #6 since 2005

9:23 pm
mab
we are already experiencing the effects of global warming, and that won't go away for a very long time, but at least we can try to slow things down.
9:23 pm
