What did you do at Christmas? You normally visit an aunt of your boyfriend's, don't you?
3:41 am
herinfernallady
We went to Sisters house on the farm where the kids ran wild. IT was the perfect day. Weather was great. So it went - eat, chat, eat dessert, unwrap Kris Kringle gifts so no one was overloaded with presents, nap in a chair with double glazed windows (i heart those windows) let the kids go wild wake up and eat more
3:41 am

3:41 am
herinfernallady
opps What about you?
3:43 am
Haz1558
I had the family at home. My sister stayed over for a couple of days and the rest came for most of Christmas Day - so 7 for lunch. I'm always happiest after lunch when people have been fed and everyone's just sitting chatting.
3:44 am
herinfernallady
We had a BBQ. I made pasta salad and egg nog cheese cake
3:46 am

4:03 am
Haz1558
It sounds pretty rich - I take it calories don't count at Christmas?
4:04 am
herinfernallady
Nope. They fall out when you make them yourself. That is my theory. Besides it is not something I would make unless it was a very special occasion. Those darn things take 3 hours to bake then over night to cool.
4:05 am
Haz1558
I used that principle for my starter on Christmas Day. Salmon terrine with a filling of cream cheese whipped with butter plus yoghurt. I used low-fat yoghurt to make it 'healthy'...
4:05 am
herinfernallady
That sounds lovely Haz. I did use one brick of Philli light because the store was out of normal.
4:07 am
Haz1558
Smoked salmon outside, poached fresh salmon plus the dairy plus chives and lemon juice for the filling. It was delicious and calorie free, being Christmas Day and home-made.
4:08 am
Haz1558
Plus, the guests went for a walk before lunch so any calories were cancelled out straightaway.
4:08 am
herinfernallady
Haz this is the recipe: http://tinyurl.com/c3deruw

B.f and I got the kids more nerf guns on Boxing day as they are so lovely to each other and we wanted to spoil them
4:13 am
Haz1558
I'm going to have to google nerf guns.
4:13 am
herinfernallady
EWWWW Why would you sacrifice ham to that crap
4:14 am
Haz1558
They say it tastes great but I've never felt like making the sacrifice.
4:14 am
Jayk
don't bother. i tried it and it was nothing
4:15 am
dizgrannie
one g/dtr has a nerf + water gun and you can fire both at the same time....hehehe
4:15 am
Haz1558
I now know what nerf guns look like. You wouldn't sit still for long with one of those bearing down on you.
4:15 am
Jayk
and i MAY have sacrificed a pot as well
4:16 am
Haz1558
Poor Jayk. I'll steer clear of ham in coke for sure!
4:16 am
dizgrannie
Haz, as long as one is not too close when firing, they are fun
4:16 am
Haz1558
Do the nerf guns make a noise?
4:16 am
herinfernallady
Or have the safety springs swapped out for twin M16 springs intertwined
4:17 am
herinfernallady
O Jayk :(
4:17 am
Jayk
nigella is usually reliable, but maybe she was on the take for that one
4:17 am
herinfernallady
They don't Haz. The kids have rules. Like no face shots and not on the glass. Not that it would matter as it is double glazed. O and don't hit anyone that has said No
4:17 am
Biltong
Hello all. Are the k's normal words? Long time no see, Haz :)
4:18 am
Haz1558
Hello, Biltong. I've never seen the k words before. kl6 and plural kl8.
4:19 am
Haz1558
To rhyme with what an egg does after the hen sits on it. (not splats)
4:20 am
herinfernallady
I declare that is one odd word.
4:20 am
herinfernallady
I hope you UK people are not too flooded
4:20 am
Kateq
I think it is Dutch origin-- kaffeekl****
4:21 am
Haz1558
It's pretty bad on the mainland. We've had lots of rain but nothing compared to England, Wales etc and definitely none of the flooding.
4:22 am
Haz1558
Jacula was going to Devon for Christmas and it's one of the worst affected parts. She may have to canoe home.
4:22 am
herinfernallady
My cousin was looking forward to returning to the UK to snow. She is an odd Lass
4:22 am
herinfernallady
O yes Devon was badly hit.
4:22 am
herinfernallady
That is interesting Kateq
4:23 am
Haz1558
The irony was that they were talking about drought in England and hosepipe bans etc. No need any more.
4:23 am
herinfernallady
Someone spoke too soon on that one
4:25 am
Haz1558
But there had been very real concerns, reservoirs were drying up etc. I do feel for everyone affected, it's horrible.
4:26 am
Haz1558
I'm going to take a break and get some chores done. Nice to chat with you all. Bye for now!

I've heard that since the Romans switched us to our current calender, the old Dec 21 is now Feb 2, so tell your trainer that, he'll freak for the next two months!

funny how everyone has their own way of tackling the grid - by row, column, alphabetically or random!
6:15 am
Uneaixoise
my "method" is totally random :-)
6:16 am
Lizlin
I start off trying for nbt - then go random pretty quickly :)
6:16 am
Haz1558
I've occasionally tried out other methods but couldn't sustain them.
6:16 am
hydra
I started at the back, nailed the t words, then began the a words. Odd way of doing it, I know! Right. 86 words left to find. I'm going to give my eyes a break. See you later and happy Babbling.

Not particularly attached to O. Just noticed we have gone without two days in a row, which is unusual.
7:08 am
MollyL
Plenty of E's to make up for that though. : D
7:09 am
Scrabbler
I am quite happy with today's grid. We had too many bitty ones in the last week.
7:10 am
MollyL
I agree, it's nice to have some larger grids for a change.
7:18 am
Scrabbler
The K words are kl-, I assume?
7:18 am

Yes they are.

Mom
((zoozzoom)) good afternoon. So good to see you
7:21 am
Scrabbler
Yes, we got a foot, on top of 6 inches, but we need more on a steady basis for the next 12 wks.
7:21 am
Scrabbler
I want to cross-country ski and snowshoe a LOT
7:21 am
Mom
we are expecting 2-4 inches tonight perhaps that weather system will bring you some more snow
7:23 am

Crossy will be delighted to see that his favorite product is here. A ra 6/21 of bacon :-)

7:33 am
MollyL
Hi Mom, hope you don't get too much snow.
7:33 am
Mom
Hi Molly. Any more than a dusting is too much for me
7:34 am
Mom
2-4 inches they say, I hope they are wrong.
7:34 am
Mom
I fret about it so since the boys got their licenses.
7:35 am
Mom
which has been some time ago but....
7:35 am
MollyL
I know, it's an added concern when you think about your kids out in it. I usually say a prayer to the Angels who watch over my kids in bad weather.
7:36 am
Mom
one flake and the people around here forget how to drive
7:36 am
Mom
it is indeed. I started my prayers last night when I heard about it
7:36 am
MollyL
It's that way here too. Not to mention people do not keep their cars "snow safe".
7:37 am
Mom
I went to the grocery yesterday, I was amazed at how many people hadn't bothered to clear their cars of the snow. Just enough off the windshield
7:38 am
MollyL
I see a lot of that too. And a lot of bald and/or poorly inflated tires.
7:38 am
Mom
with tires like that it is just an accident waiting to happen
7:40 am
MollyL
I have a friend who is a police officer and he says that 90% of bad weather accidents involve at least one car that has not been maintained properly for inclement weather. It's sad, it doesn't take that much auto care to do that.
7:41 am
Mom
so true. You really have to watch out for the other guy.
7:41 am
Mom
It kills me those who weave in and out of traffic or insist on sitting on your bumper
7:55 am

I have re 5/14ed 1990 points with the grid. Now here is a story of clues to help you se 6/24 for more words. I ea 4/4 a living as a te 4/6er. However, before I started my career, I had other odd jobs. First, I was a ca4/6ier at a drug store while I went to college on the ea 4/4 coast. I got fired when I tried to st 5/10 candy from the store. I got a job after that working in a women's clothing store that sold pants, shirts and sw5/18ers.After I graduated, I he4/5d that there was a need for educators on the we 4/8 coast so I moved.I couldn't get a job right away so I worked for a ca5/12ing company in Vermont. I ha 4/5d that job.I had to we4/8 a silly little outfit. My boyfriend always te5/10d me when he saw me in my outfit. While doing that,I had a part-time job working for a company that hired people to feed dogs and ca4/5 while families were away on vacation.Liked that job the best because I did not have to deal with people and ta4/8 to anyone. The very la 4/4 job I had before I started my career was working in a Verizon Wi4/8less store. Even though I did not like all my jobs, I'm glad that I did ea 4/6 and every one because I learned something from every job.Ra4/4 hubby wants the computer. I am going to lift my re 4/4 out of my se4/4 & go watch the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "Era5/10". I hope that you've se 4/4 more words with ea4/4 from this story.By the way,most of this story is not re 4/4. I'll return to the ch 4/6 log later and clue for the re4/4 of the night in ca4/5 anyone needs clues.

All our local used book stores have gotten drummed out of business by the bigger chains. It's very sad.
11:44 am

it is hard to get used book stores to pay much anymore because of the recession. . . i used to do that all the time.

I hate that, jmc. I really miss the little shops. Quaint is merely an idea now......

I love old book stores. used to be one a few blocks from where I lived as a child and that is where my Mom bought all of our books. It went out of business many years ago :( I loved the smell there

yeah i used to do alright with auction shops for the estates i handled. . . now i just give it all to a program that helps people transitioning from homeless set up house. . .

We still have lots of little shops here in the Phoenix area, though, mostly catering to the tourist trade but I love Old Town Scottsdale and Carefree where they have all kinds of mom-and-pop shops and restaurants.

I'm on the warpath this morning. For 4 straight days the B...in apt. 1086 has left her two dogs out on her small patio (apt. patio) for 15 hours straight at a time. They howl and bark and it's cold at night. I've got the apt. mgmt. working on it and will go to the MAT on this one....she's a nasty piece of work as well. This has gone on for MONTHS now, off and on, and I'm tired of it. She's stupid, too, because those dogs aren't on her lease and she hasn't paid the deposit.
11:53 am
wvteach
because of the college Evanston was (is) a dry town and Skokie wasn't so the boundary was lined with liquor stores
11:54 am
uusue2
mimi, that is awful, and so unfair to the animals!
11:55 am

It hurts my heart terribly. Between that and my best friend's brother beating her up, I'm an emotional wreck.
11:55 am
uusue2
((((mimi))))
11:56 am
MimiCat
My friend had not told her grown son (my godson) so I finally told him on the phone last night. I felt like I was betraying her in a way but I'm very worried about her. Her brother threatened to kill her if she called the police. I just want someone to take steps to make sure she is safe. It's frustrating that she lives in Atlanta and I'm in Phoenix.
11:57 am
uusue2
good for you, mimi! is her son near her?
11:59 am
MimiCat
No, he's in D.C. He and his wife visited her over the holiday and she still didn't tell him. Her brother is honestly crazy--always has been---and hit her with a heavy crutch. Broke several ribs and there was terrible bruising. She begged the urgent care dr. not to report it because she was afraid. He's lucky I'm not there because I'd have had his butt in jail fast.
11:59 am
uusue2
ugh. Is there a way she can get away from him?
12:00 pm
MimiCat
The police here said that qualifies as felony battery and carries a good 10-year jail sentence.
12:01 pm
MimiCat
He doesn't live with her. Her mother and her live in a house about 45 minutes away from him. I want her to at least change the security code and the locks and get a restraining order. That way, if he sets foot on the property the police will automatically arrest him.
12:01 pm
jmcnrick
she should contact the local abused women's group. . . urgently. . .they can help. . .abuse doesn't have to be just your spouse
12:02 pm
uusue2
Good idea. That's exactly what restraining orders are for! and what jmc said!
12:02 pm
MimiCat
I started a file with one already just so there would be documentation. I gave her son the numbers in her town that would help with all the issues. She may be angry with me for telling him but I'd rather she be angry than dead.
12:03 pm
uusue2
Exactly, mimi. Good for you.
12:03 pm

cosdem

1:17 pm
MollyL
Oh wait, that was Blanche DuBois.
1:17 pm
cosdem
lol yeah his boss did offer to help anbd we have a friend who has a big muscular husband who can help so hopefully

Okay then let the boss and the husband and Blanche do all the heavy lifting. You can direct traffic. : D
1:18 pm

neil did you have trouble joining wordplay? I gave it a password and it said it was all set then later doesn't recognize me?
4:14 pm
negativeneil
Wordplay?
4:14 pm
negativeneil
Not sure where you mean? Do you mean Weboggle? Or maybe WordTwist?
4:15 pm
negativeneil
Or Wordsplay?
4:15 pm
ChampFit
do you mean wordsplay?
4:15 pm
negativeneil
Ahh ok. I think you mean Wordsplay because that's how it works... it doesn't save your username.
4:15 pm
negativeneil
Which is annoying.
4:15 pm
negativeneil
Hi Roy.
4:15 pm
ChampFit
agreed. pain in the butt.
4:16 pm
negativeneil
Exactly.
4:16 pm
negativeneil
And it's one reason I don't like that site so much.
4:16 pm
negativeneil
My latest addiction is "WordTwist".
4:16 pm
negativeneil

4:16 pm
ChampFit
I was doing that for a while
4:17 pm
negativeneil
Oh you're on that site too?
4:17 pm
negativeneil
You don't have to register to play, but I did.
4:17 pm

Because if you register, it keeps track of your stats.

4:18 pm
ChampFit
Well, I'm not! I thought that's what Wordsplay change to? Will check it out. LOVE boggle!
4:19 pm
negativeneil
Huh? No... "Wordsplay" has nothing to do with "WordTwist". Two separate sites.
4:19 pm
negativeneil
Oh but wait... I think at one time they did?
4:19 pm
scrambler
it is wordplay, kinda like scramble on fb ,but not as sophisticated!
4:19 pm
negativeneil
I think "WordTwist" did branch off from "Wordsplay" or something... but not sure? Or maybe that was "Weboggle"? Ok, I'm confused.
4:20 pm
negativeneil
I play boggle on Yahoo Games too... "Word Racer".
4:20 pm
ChampFit
Yes! Wordtwist changed to Wordsplay. So now it seems someone has another wordtwist going, which is fine by me.
4:20 pm
ChampFit
Weboggle too. He had several incarnations of the site, as I recall. "splay" is latest.
4:20 pm
negativeneil
Scrambler, see the list of game site links on my google profile, linked to in my Babble profile.
4:20 pm
scrambler
i love boggle and the original scramble on fb was my dream come true until they dumped it because people wouldn't pay $$ and replaced it with something lame!
4:20 pm
negativeneil
The same guy owns all of those?
4:20 pm
scrambler
thanks neil
4:21 pm
negativeneil
You'll have to scroll down a way to where all the links are... then it's the last section of links.
4:21 pm
ChampFit
I think he started as weboggle, the morphed into wordsplay.
4:22 pm
negativeneil
I thought it was the other way around?
4:23 pm
negativeneil
But whoever he is, I wish he'd fix the goddamned bugs in the Weboggle website! Ugh.
4:23 pm
scrambler
neil it wasn't wordsplay it is we boggle I have problem with registering, here is what happens after I registered: This username is not registered. The password will not take effect. Please join as a guest.
4:23 pm
negativeneil
I've asked a mod I know there to contact the admin about that and she has, but nothing happens.
4:23 pm
negativeneil
Oh yeah... now that makes sense.
4:23 pm
negativeneil
I got registered no problem but that was a while ago. It's been FUBAR for ages now... nobody can register now. A friend of mine tried and never got the email with the confirmation link.
4:25 pm

4:35 pm

Wild Tangent also has a great site and Boggle Bash is available there also with the Pogo link.

Oh I joined Pogo but didn't like it at all.
4:35 pm
negativeneil
I play boggle mostly on WordTwist and Yahoo.
4:36 pm

Especially Yahoo because I play in a certain lounge at a certain table with a certain group of regular players... we all know each other. It's fun. :)
4:36 pm

I'm not wild about Pogo either but do like the Boggle Bash. Will check out the other two sites.

Email me if you want detailed info on how to get into the Yahoo boggle game, MimiCat. And anyone else... my one and only online name @ yahoo -dot- com.

Scrabble Boggle and Scrabble Cubes are also fun and you can enter to win money.
4:38 pm
MimiCat
Please send the info to me, neil.

Eh. I don't have enough free time to spend on worry about winning money. I just boggle a little here and there when I find a little time for it.

No, Webboggle turned to wordsplay a while ago.

you too can take a pill.

Yeah. I just want to sleep right now. So tired.
4:53 pm

And no, I can't. Don't have any sleeping pills.

A Benadryl or 2 would do it though. But if I took a pill now that wouldn't be good.

6:01 pm
negativeneil
Wish I knew which one Lizlin?
6:01 pm
Lizlin
first one - cr 6 / 21
6:02 pm
negativeneil
c + word that sounds like lift up, but means to level or destroy, tear down... and can be spelled with an "s" or "z".
6:02 pm
zoozzoom
almost the same as what you put clothes in for holidays suit **** but with the R.
6:02 pm
negativeneil
And plural that btw.
6:03 pm
herinfernallady
It isn't the Cr archaic. composition; constitution; makeup.Google that and look for the ending with EYE and change the end vowel
6:03 pm
negativeneil
Oh well. zoozzoom's clue is much better/easier.
6:03 pm
Lizlin
ty - could've sworn I'd tried that!!!!!!
6:03 pm

lol herin.we have a pair of black kitties and the older ginger kitty sleeps with us cuase the black cats are a terror to her so we sleep with the bedroom door closed.bad park is that both black kitties have learned to knock on the door to demand entry.there is a small gap tween the door latch and the plate in the frame which gives the entire door,even when closed a movement of about 1/3 of an inch.they start rythimaclly pawing the door till it is going bang..bang..bang...BANG... in its frame..ad 03:30 in the freaking am

Wow. Ok. Sorry. I think it is cute and I could imagine a 5 year old singing that to you because you know teasing a boy at that age meant you liked them
