6:26 am

MollyL

That is what I heard too, Ivesy. And they are calling this storm Nemo. NEMO?

6:26 am

ivesy3

hi Smores

6:46 am

I like your word even if Enable doesn't :)

6:49 am

lynxxx

thats amazing - one third of Australians travelled overseas last year

6:50 am

lbdawger

Hiya Lynxxx! yeah, i tried it too

6:51 am

smores

and 1/3 of Americans probably want to travel Australia :) ...self included

6:51 am

tadone!! finito!! fun grid, a bit twisty, but no unknown words.

6:51 am

smores

WTG lbd !!! congrats :)

6:52 am

6:52 am

lynxxx

Congrats Dawg!

6:53 am

smores

lol...we don't have to all come at once

6:54 am

BabbleRabble

105 million plus

6:54 am

lynxxx

whew! was going to check the tent and sleeping bags supplies.

6:54 am

boatierra

There are over 315,000,000 millions Americans. So a 1/3 would be just over 100 million.

6:55 am

smores

:)

6:55 am

lynxxx

good grief!

6:55 am

smores

lol...okay well how about just me :)

6:56 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, lyn, What distinguishes good grief from bad?

6:57 am

boatierra

Compared to AUS with a bit over 22 million. A 1/3 of us would be a plague.

6:57 am

lynxxx

good grief = gobsmacked

6:58 am

boatierra

Gobsmacked - gread word :)

6:58 am

smores

Definately on my list lynxxx...hopefully someday :)

6:59 am

BabbleRabble

Idioms & Phrases

good grief

An exclamation expressing surprise, alarm, dismay, or some other, usually negative emotion. For example, Good grief! You're not going to start all over again , or Good grief! He's dropped the cake . The term is a euphemism for "good God."

7:00 am

lynxxx

I'll go for surprise, the first option

7:01 am

lynxxx

and of course I would never take the Lords name in vain ( hang on my tongue has got stuck in the side of my cheek)

Queensland is recovering from floods yet again. The flooding is becoming even more serious down here. That'll be climate change for you. In our area the believe sea level rises of near 1 metre by 2100 will mean a third of the bayside suburb I live in will be under water - costly preventative measures to be taken. In Queensland and NSW they are talking about a retreat policy in many bayside areas...the real estate is not so valuable

I don't understand how people can doubt it...just look at the weather events around the world...more intense. Even if it doesn't get as bad as they are estimating, I think we all need to be aware and take whatever small measures we can...usually helps our own hip pockets anyway.

7:26 am

BabbleRabble

but, that would mean being logical ....

Hello ... are you in blizzard territory?

In the periphery of the storm. We are supposed to get 6-12 inches.

8:38 am

Riverdance

Calling for 18-24 up my way - good morning everyone

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Yep, you are close to the center, Riverdance. Yippee!

8:39 am

Scrabbler

How is your cough, RD?

8:40 am

Riverdance

its somewhat better - she put me on a much stronger antibiotic and gave me 2 difference cough suppressants - one for day and one for night - it seems to be working and breaking up the congestion.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Have you had a chest x-ray?

8:42 am

Riverdance

no - the didnt feel it was necessary - said I did have a slight weeze but she did not hear any pneumonia

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Have you used an albuterol inhaler through this?

8:42 am

flashman1998

wa5 please

8:42 am

Riverdance

I see her again in 2 weeks for my yearly physical so if this is not gone by then, she may consider further testing. Yes I do have a ProAir inhaler

8:43 am

Scrabbler

No wa5 for me yet, but looking

8:43 am

Riverdance

I do already feel a differnce since starting the new med on Monday

8:43 am

Riverdance

I dont have it either

8:43 am

same here

8:45 am

lshult

just 20 needed, but struggling!!!

8:45 am

Riverdance

24 left here and yes I am stuck too

8:46 am

Scrabbler

River, it's likely post-viral bronchial hyperreactivity, which means you'll get better no matter what meds you use or don't use.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Prolonged winter coughs are very frustrating for patients and their docs. Eventually you'll get better.

8:48 am

Riverdance

well I was feeling really lousy when I went on Monday and now I am noticably better so I have to think it is the med

8:48 am

Riverdance

I was coughing so bad my ribs hurt

8:50 am

this has also been a bad winter for me cough and rattle wise.have had to start using the aerochamber with the ventolin.the ole lungs are whistling like a flute this morning:(

8:51 am

Riverdance

Hi Crossy - sorry to hear you have the dreaded cough as well.

8:52 am

Riverdance

We heat with a wood stove at home so I am sure that is not helping much either. I did buy myself a small humidifier for my bedroom that I run at night.

8:52 am

I wish I had 100 dollars for every time gerund or ing has been used in chat today.

2:51 pm

zoozzoom

Yes i am sure it is used most days in the chog.

2:55 pm

MollyL

Nope, only when there is an ing : D If there is an S in the grid then I wish for 100 dollars every time someone says "Add s to everything" or "plural everything".

2:57 pm

jan

Why not go for the big time? I'm greedy--I'll wish for 100 dollars for every vowel used in the chat. Now that husband is retired, I could use it ;-)

2:57 pm

MollyL

Jan, always two steps ahead. : )

2:57 pm

wht

Hello Babblers, how is Babbleonia today?

2:58 pm

jan

Of course, I'd promise to give a cut to Dr God...

2:58 pm

MollyL

I figured today there would also be a run on people saying "Woot is too a word".

2:59 pm

zoozzoom

And fireworks for me.

2:59 pm

jan

You won't hear that one from me! (Though I admit to wishing for dacron--probably still a proper noun)

Yay Zoom!

It's a regular vowel-a-thon today with lots of those 4 letter mainly-vowel so-called words.

3:02 pm

lynxxx

perhaps that is my problem - thanks

3:03 pm

MollyL

Well Jan, that's what happens when half the grid is vowels. Whee!

3:03 pm

jan

Yup! (Too bad about Hawaii though)

3:10 pm

oh my, a lovely ending today!

3:23 pm

wht

It might be a lovely ending but I do not like word that start with vowels.

3:24 pm

sprite

they are usually a bit harder to spot, indeed

3:24 pm

jan

It's funny the words and word types that I like and dislike. I like finding twisty-words like the ca/7

3:25 pm

sprite

As long as they don;t start with K, I like 'm

3:26 pm

jan

For me, the evil letter is C.

3:26 pm

jan

Though K can give it a run for its money.

3:26 pm

cybernan

I wonder why paseo is OK but prado isn't?

3:26 pm

KatieMcG

evening everyone

3:26 pm

sprite

must admit I am getting a bit better with K words. But still, seeing a K in a grid freezes my wordometer.

3:27 pm

hi Katie :)

Jillyjill

hello katie

3:27 pm

wht

Hi Katie

3:27 pm

Soodle

Hi Katie.

3:27 pm

jan

Oh, do not get started on Enable. I've wondered why it takes senor (Spanish) and senhor (portuguese) but not Herr (german).

3:27 pm

lynxxx

hi Katie

3:27 pm

KatieMcG

I'm still as bad as ever with K words - they can ruin my day :)

3:28 pm

jan

Miso but not soba, naan but not paneer...

3:28 pm

sprite

babble truism #7: there is no logic in Enable

3:28 pm

jan

For some reason, I like W words. No rhyme or reason.

3:28 pm

sprite

you and me, Katie, you and me :)

3:29 pm

Soodle

Just watching the News. Another vile storm heading for the US east coast. Take care out there Babblers!

3:29 pm

lynxxx

It seems to accept more spanish based words - I guess because of population mix in the US

3:29 pm

sprite

please no. You guys got more than your portion already.

3:29 pm

Jillyjill

I know soodle, worried about my son and my adopted daughter...

3:29 pm

cybernan

think they're already getting it soodle -- 1" snow per hour at the moment

3:30 pm

jan

Though that doesn't explain senhor!

3:30 pm

KatieMcG

I felt better after we had shared Sprite, it's nice to know you are not on your own

3:30 pm

sprite

so very true, Katie :)

3:31 pm

I live outside Boston and it isn't snowing that hard yet, but it has been pretty windy all day and it is supposed to start snowing harder later this evening.

Yes, best wishes to all the Northeastern US Babblers.

Jan, the ca6 and ca7 were indeed twisty little words, almost alike.

3:36 pm

wht

Well, we were overdue to get a big snowstorm. It's been about 2 years since we had one.

3:36 pm

jan

One of the things that my husband finds weird is the fact that British named towns in New England are scattered without reference to British geography.

3:36 pm

KatieMcG

south west of Birmingham here

3:36 pm

sprite

hi Biltong, sorry, don't have it yet

3:37 pm

3:40 pm

KatieMcG

Katie, I will add to to my email list. You might want to remove it later, though. (I say this sadly.)

3:42 pm

cybernan

yeah, except there's a guy named mitch who finished it listless in under 15 minutes last night (he does this quite often, I must add)

3:42 pm

KatieMcG

I will take it back off tomorrow. It always used to be there but as you say sadly I took it off to be safe not sorry

3:43 pm

Soodle

Whoo hoo Jilly. Well done

5:14 pm

Jillyjill

*very sad that woot is not a word to enable*

5:15 pm

stidgmere

I still think we should have one of those dinners where each person furnishes one dish and we travel from house to house. It could take a week to get to dessert but what fun we would have. We know woot is a word.

5:15 pm

MollyL

Gran Mere! What a great idea. A progressive meal across the country.

5:15 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, stidg...great idea!! (airfare not included...)

5:16 pm

Jillyjill

Across the world progressive dinner!

5:16 pm

Soodle

All welcome Chez Soodle!! ( but once I get ye here, I won't let ye go.....)

5:17 pm

MollyL

It's like the Irish version of Hotel California.

5:17 pm

Jillyjill

ROFL....absolutely LOVE your icon soodle..how appropriate for us irish!

5:18 pm

MollyL

However, the child was obviously brought up in an unfortunate way if he has to ASK if he's Irish.

5:19 pm

Soodle

Sadly no dark desert highways......

5:19 pm

MollyL

Bah, we can rewrite the whole song. Welcome to The Hotel County Meath.

5:20 pm

Soodle

Plenty of cool wind in your hair, though.....

5:20 pm

Warbling...that comes from the one who sings (ugh) ABBA songs in here.

5:30 pm

MollyL

Note: This is light hearted joking between Soodle and I. No one need get huffy and take offense. Thank you.

5:30 pm

Soodle

Molly!!!! Jilly has Irish blood. We all say we're going 'for one'. Then the adage about a bird never flying on one wing is trotted out. So we have another. We sing a chorus of The winner Takes It All, and have another drink...,

5:31 pm

MollyL

Oh right. "Just one". Forgot that somehow.

5:31 pm

Soodle

Never ever forget that a bird never flew on one wing!!!

5:32 pm

MollyL

Anything with "just" in front of it. Like "it's just vodka".

Mrs wht used to be a visiting nurse in East Boston when it was still mostly Italian. She tells of asking one of her elderly patients how many glasses of wine he had a day. He said, just one. Then she asked, how many times do you fill it?

5:33 pm

Soodle

Schlunking off to the PB. Mae culpae!

5:34 pm

MollyL

Aye and if we were meant to have just one, beer wouldn't come in six packs. Amen.

I'd put garlic with most things! Stuff them with garlic butter, coat them and fry them! Not the healthiest option but ...

6:16 pm

cosdem

i do have garlic i can use for

6:16 pm

MollyL

If you can find any of the Zatarain's deep fry batter mixes, they are very good.

6:16 pm

blueheron

unless you're using cut mushrooms

6:16 pm

Lizlin

Even just rub garlic over the mushrooms before coating them!
