3:18 am

lol, hurshy...exactly how i feel sometimes. the game is more important than the points.
3:18 am
Lizlin

It would be good to be able to retrieve old grids sometimes, especially when the current grid is small.
3:20 am
grannyrose

so agree, liz. especially when i have been away and unable to access babble. i just love the game...the points are secondary to that.
3:21 am

3:41 am

3:42 am

I'd love to know more about how different people visualise words!

a seafood medley, scrabs
9:11 am

usually includes mussels, clams, fish, and a rain such as rice

Is that paella or a clue for the left U?
9:11 am
rubyfoo

I only use huge wild shrimp(frozen, unfortunately) and chorizo. I don't botter with other whellfish or chicken -- too much trouble for 3 people
9:11 am
stidmama

simple to put together, with veggies like celery and nummy as all-get-out
9:11 am
stidmama

meant to say includes a Grain...
9:12 am
rubyfoo

my trick is that I| soak the saffron with some Sazon Goya and anchiote for a day before I make the rice and then I roast the red Pepper in the flame of the stove and wrap it in newspaper for easy peeling
9:13 am
stidmama

oooh. that sounds really amazing ruby!
9:13 am

an I saute the rice in olive oïl before I add the liquid so that th grains are separate
9:13 am

I used to do a lot of cooking. Now,not so much

Because I live alone I have to feed and please myself only, so everything is simple and quick--microwaving or heating food.

I eat healthy foods--lots of veggies, veggie burgers, Greek yogurt.
9:17 am

I don't really eat healthy foods, like butter and eggs too uch. But overall, don't eat very much, so it evens out and my blood numer stay very good
9:17 am

Nuts, seeds. I try to avoid breads, pasta, potatoes, and other such carbs. No cereal except for occasional oatmeal.
9:18 am
rubyfoo

do you make hummus, scrabs? I have the easiest imaginasble method, if you'r interested
9:18 am
stidmama

I do the same thing when I am alone now that I am older though -- I tend to not eat much at all unless I am teaching or some one else feeds me. Food just isn't interesting any more.
9:18 am

<-- allergic to oatmeal
9:18 am

wish my beloved would eat more yogurt.it is so good for the ladies because i swear she is more trouble that maintaining a swimming pool.ph balances and various other levels are always going out of whack!

Hello MollyL! How are you? I have to think happy thoughts to get me through my miserable allergies! Did U finish grid
5:13 pm
m9f9l

Today will be a short story eh?
5:14 pm
MollyL

I guess that means the steroid shots are not working.
: (
5:14 pm
Minveryork

Funny you should say that m9f9l! I am just finishing it now!
5:15 pm
Minveryork

I think that they are sort of working.I think that I would be even worse without it!
5:16 pm
Minveryork

I wasn't a us 4/5 of the list and I was able to do the grid all by myse4/7 today. Now here's a story with a sl4/5 of clues.Once I was a fu6/30 and put bad fu4/8 in my car. My car went about half a mile & then it refu 4/8d to go any further. It was se 4/5-expensive to fix. I had to nu 5/12 my car back to health by towing it to a gas station and taking out the bad gas and putting in new good gas I could have been a su4/5 and made the gas station pay for my troubles, but I didn't. My hubby is being an ar4/4 and wants to ru4/5 my Babble time by taking computer away from me. I can't be a re 7/44 and re 6/30 to give him computer. I'm going to go do something el 4/4 like watch the movie Ra4/4man. I will re5/12 this computer later to enter my last word and give clues. Bye for now!
5:16 pm
MollyL

Min, have you ever thought about accupuncture for your allergies?
5:19 pm
Minveryork

Others have suggested that to me,but I'm deathly afraid of needles.It took me long enough just to get the nerve to do my allergy shots! Plus, I do not think acupuncture will really work. I'll just continue with my allergy shots.
5:20 pm
MollyL

Well, it won't work if you don't believe in it. Accupuncture needles are very thin, you don't feel them at all.
5:20 pm
rururocks

<--with Minver on the needle thing
5:21 pm
Minveryork

Believe me, I would feel them! I think of acupuncture like hypnotism. You have to believe in it. I do not believe in it.
5:22 pm
rururocks

<---would feel them too
5:22 pm
MollyL

Nothing works if you don't believe in it.
5:22 pm
rururocks

<---- needle weeny
5:23 pm
Buggie

in fact harmless things can be quite toxic if you believe it, it's the nocibo effect (the opposite of placebo)
5:24 pm
rururocks

I think needles are no-c-ru
5:24 pm
MollyL

I would disagree. You probably feel needles even when you don't look.
5:25 pm
Minveryork

Hello Buggie! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
5:25 pm
Buggie

hah I have to give myself 5 injections a day and I'zm too afriad of the acupuncture needles to ever consider that...
5:26 pm
Soodle

Interesting! I never heard of the nocibo effect!
5:26 pm
MollyL

Wow, you guys really don't know much about accupuncture.
5:26 pm
Minveryork

Thank you MollyL for your suggestion. I do appreciate your suggestions.I just realized I probably sounded a little rude.
5:27 pm
Minveryork

Hello Soodle! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
5:27 pm
Minveryork

Wow!Five injections a day!Is that for your allergies Buggie?
5:27 pm
MollyL

No Min, it didn't sound rude. It's not for everyone.
5:27 pm
Soodle

Hi Min! I'm good, thank you. I hpoe you are well?
5:28 pm

5:28 pm
Buggie

No, type 1 diabetes
5:29 pm
Minveryork

Oh my brother does injections 4 diabetes, but not as many.
5:29 pm
Buggie

oooh, acupuncture needles are thicker than the ones I use, and mine can certainly hurt...
5:29 pm
Soodle

I'm not scared of needles, but I have a pathological fear of dentists, so I can identify with the fears. :-/
5:30 pm
rururocks

holy molar soodle
5:31 pm
Soodle

Dentists, snakes & hairdressers. All can reduce me to a nervous wreck!
5:31 pm
Buggie

well, the number depends on how many times you eat (plus an extra for the slow insuline). And if your brother is type 2 he'd only have 1 or 2 injections a day
5:31 pm
rururocks

<---with you on snakes
5:31 pm
rururocks

is type one the worst?
5:32 pm
MollyL

Well, I hate to sound like a man here, but it's not the size of the needle, it's the skill of the person inserting it.
5:32 pm
rururocks

I don't know much about diabetes
5:32 pm
Buggie

they're different. Type 1 often appears in childhood
5:33 pm
rururocks

wouldn't it matter how carefully you push the plunger molly :D
5:33 pm
Soodle

There she goes.... Lowering the tone.....AGAIN
5:33 pm
MollyL

<---Never heard of hairdresser phobia
5:34 pm
Minveryork

My brother has Type 2 diabetes.I'm not sure when he got it
5:34 pm
rururocks

we're just talking medical equipment soods :D
5:34 pm
Buggie

type 2 is most common, it's caused by resistance to insulin (which is a hormone produced by the body), type 1 is a lot less common and is caused by an autoimmune reaction, destroying all insuline production
5:34 pm
Soodle

Hairdressers can inflict serious damage to a person.....

Not a good idea for someone with schizophrenia to be living alone.
6:13 pm

I agree. We have called the police a few times. THey always end up leaving her. She leaves her front door open to let radiaton beams leave and it's not safe to lave door open overnight but she does.
6:14 pm

poor thing
6:14 pm

when her door is closed then its when the ghosts are trying to kill her so she screams her head off nonstop.

she closes her door more now but that means more screaming

Lizlin

Thanks for your story Min - got a clue from it :)
7:01 pm
alembick

we both chose Tintin names. Because we used to play on a team on the other Boggle site, the one that only gives you 3 minutes. I forget what it is called right now. It made me too stressed out. And our other sister that we used to play with died. so it made us too sad to play there any more.
7:01 pm
Minveryork

You are welcome Lizlin!I hope it helps crosshair out as well
7:01 pm
alembick

it was Team Tintin.
7:02 pm

7:35 pm
crosshair

our very own toronto university has no textbooks.with your tuition you get a kobo reader with the textbooks pertaining to all your classes pre-loaded on it.there is a damage deposit on it.you use it,then return it and that is it
7:36 pm
pippingeek

thats kind of nice, altho i always enjoyed perusing the bookstore for books for other classes that looked interesting
7:37 pm
crosshair

that was when they first started.they are so cheap now,you probably just buy it
7:37 pm
Trifioso

wow, that is amazing crossy - bet the old campus bookstores weren't too happy with that arrangement! all the money they used to make selling, rebuying and selling textbooks - gone!

8:00 pm
MollyL

Trif are you sure he didn't eat anything but the bagels you made? Because that really sounds like food poisoning.
8:02 pm
Trifioso

it does indeed.....I am thinking now....i did also make some chocolate chip cookies today...wonder if he got into the batter before it was cooked?
8:03 pm
Trifioso

we have been eating the cookies all day and been fine, but he might have eaten some of the raw stuff
8:03 pm
MollyL

Or it could be something he ate last night.
8:03 pm
Trifioso

the good thing about food poisoning is that is really does pass in 12 hours. The bad part is that it is the LONGEST 12 hours of your life.
8:04 pm
Trifioso

he ate what I ate last night....and secondo too...we are both fine
8:04 pm
Trifioso

neither of us slept well last night, and he has been very stressed out with his new job starting this week. I think maybe he is just over tired, run down...and probs ate too much cookie dough :)
8:06 pm
MollyL

Well, food poisoning can take as long as 12 - 24 hours to manifest. It doesn't really matter though. It's getting through it, like you said.
8:07 pm
Trifioso

indeed. have lots of saltines and ginger ale on hand :)
8:07 pm
Trifioso

okay - the lower e is KILLING me....have the er4....what is the count for the other please?

Hi Min! Long time no see! :-)
8:17 pm
Minveryork

Thank you for offering Cathyar, but I have been saving my last word since 3:29 today and I already know what word is
8:17 pm
Cathyar

ahhh...why are you saving it though?
8:18 pm
Minveryork

I always save last word. Seems to make the grid last longer
8:21 pm
Cathyar

lol...perhaps I should have done that too!
8:22 pm

Min, how is your Babble get together shaping up? Any takers?
8:28 pm
Minveryork

Nothing yet,however, I am thinking of changing the venue
8:47 pm
RoundBarn

I will be in Vermont near Burlington from abt July 16-Aug 1.
8:55 pm
Minveryork

Was thinking of changing it to Burlington. I think rururocks will be there in August. I can't do it in July because I teach summer school. Is there anyway you can be there in August
8:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

giving a raspberry to the internet gods for yet another itty bitty grid! (hi all)
8:59 pm
RoundBarn

Probably just the first few days--depends on things back here, and whether there w ll be anybody with me after the end of July. I'm working on it. You all could use my cottage if you wish. It's on a small lake 15 miles from Burlington, and completely equipped. Sleeps six comfortably, more, with sleeping bags.
9:01 pm
Minveryork

Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you?Welcome to the grid
9:03 pm
Minveryork

That is soo nice of you to offer your cottage RoundBarn!
9:03 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

just killing a few brain cells before dinner 8-)
9:04 pm
Minveryork

I would hate to have people stay there without you! Is it ok if I tell other babblers your offer? Some babblers might not be here now to see this now. What town is the cottage in?
9:07 pm
cosdem

I have tons of friends in BTV but sadly I have to go to Chicago in Sept for a wedding so I can't go :( Funds you know?
9:08 pm
RoundBarn

It's three miles out of Hinessburg on Lake Iroquois. Between Hinesburg and Richmond. From Hinesburg it's abt 15 miles into Burlington. It's between Lake Vahmplain and the foothills of the Green Mountains. We've climbec Camels Hiump many times, but ZI can't any more, not enough stamina.
9:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

nbt woot
9:14 pm
Minveryork

RoundBarn, I will change the dates since you are so nice to offer the use of your cottage.My sister lives there so I can stay with her.It will make more room for other out-of-towners who might come to meet-up. Haven't gotten any responses anyway.When will you definitely be there
9:16 pm
Minveryork

I would even be willing to host the meet-up at her house if she lets me do that.Or we could all meet at a restaurant or something. Burlington is a GREAT place to be in the summer
9:17 pm
cosdem

sweet water on church street. great food :)
9:18 pm
cosdem

now i kinda wanna go to btv and not chicago
9:20 pm
Minveryork

I know about funds cosdem, which is why I don't attend the babble-meets on the east coast even though I wish I could.
9:21 pm
RoundBarn

My granddaughter from France will be there July 20-27. A friend is staying with me s7-29, U I have a drs apptment in Burlingtin July 31 so I can't leave till the first. A caveat, though--the shower works but we don't use it, because of the poetry wall. We bathe in the lake. And these old cottages have weak septic systems--so we flush when necessary but not just for phantom word ur***. The roof is new and water tank. We can't drink the lake water, have to bring in drinking water. Lake water ok for dishes and non-swallowing use.
9:22 pm
cosdem

I have been promising my friends rob, dave, ben, keri, nick, etc lol id come visit them soo i need to. maybe sept .. i dont want a boring wedding where no one talks to me anway

9:27 pm
stidmama

We just got back (Tom and I) from Seattle where we went to hear the Seattle Symphony play some lovely big band style jazz.... :-D it was a good afternoon!
9:28 pm
RoundBarn

there's a canoe and maybe I repaired the rowboat last summer--a freak tornado took out my dock and injured the rowboat but I may have fixed it. Good swimming, although I don't know hpow the Eurasian milfoil will be this year. It's usually ok by my place.
9:28 pm
stidmama

how have your days been?
9:29 pm
jesdraggon

good evening my lovies :)
9:29 pm
stidmama

hey jes!
9:30 pm
jesdraggon

how goes it on the rainy side of the state, stid?
9:30 pm
RoundBarn

minveryork, my email is jjack1@uis.edu if you want to think about this more.
9:31 pm
stidmama

mostly dry, jes -- warm with little puffy clouds right now, cloudy earlier, but more humid than anything today.
9:32 pm
jesdraggon

nicey nice. it's about 80 here, just got home from work (again). raccoons have started eating puppy chow already, hurrah!
9:32 pm
stidmama

AND we met with the house designer guy to discuss the changes to the houseplans, and I think the house will be "good enough" -- officially there will be two bedrooms and two offices... :-D and we do think we can fit the garage on as well! And TWO skylights in the main living space, and a little deck off the back to ease the transition to the back yard. Now all I have to do is worry about paying for it all. *sigh*
9:32 pm
stidmama

wow, that seems fast for the critters... they are recovering well!
9:33 pm
RoundBarn

I'm giving p on this grid so goodbye everyone. Got other work to do. I sent Nef a poem about beer.
9:33 pm
jesdraggon

isn't insurance paying for most of it? i brought home the paperwork for a construction loan for our place - lovely sheaf of papers.
9:33 pm
jesdraggon

g'night, roundbarn, have a lovely weekend!
9:33 pm
stidmama

I don't know the Yakama word for raccoon, but around here the Lushootseed word is "buh-loops" (spelled differently but I don't know how to make those characters on a regular keyboard).. I think "buh-loops" (accent on second syllable) is cuter.
9:33 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams roundbarn!
9:34 pm
jesdraggon

they are older than the last set, probably 6 weeks-ish instead of 2 weeks, which means they were drinking out of a bowl right off, i never had to bottle them, which is nice.
9:34 pm
stidmama

Insurance will end up paying off the old mortgage and for demolition; we needed a brand-new construction mortgage to rebuild because our current mortgage holder is cursed....
9:35 pm
stidmama

ah, that is a lot easier, for sure! bottling baby critters is way harder than for humans.
9:35 pm
jesdraggon

ah, i see. i recommend staying away from Bank of America
9:36 pm
jesdraggon

it's easier to prevent them getting attached this way too; they are already prone to hanging in the corner hissing and swearing at me :)
9:36 pm
stidmama

yes, we went with a local branch of a Washington state-based bank.
9:36 pm
stidmama

They will NOT sell our loan to anyone!
9:36 pm
stidmama

LOL they are so cute from a distance, but up close, they are amazingly similar to some teenagers I know!
9:37 pm
jesdraggon

hah! yes, I prefer my 'coons at a distance. at least these can go back basically same property they came from, last set came from a demolition in town.
9:38 pm
stidmama

is it hard to rehome raccoons? Squirrels it seems could be let go almost anywhere there is shelter/food (at least that was true in Virginia)
9:38 pm
Minveryork

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.
9:38 pm
Minveryork

Hello jesdraggon! How are you doing? Welcome to the log.
9:38 pm

if you let them go in town, they get in trouble almost immediately, and people don't like having them around.

Min, do you ever take "holidays" from the allergy medicine? I do, in the summer when I am not in the toxic environment of the schools, and so the meds seem to keep working.

stidmama

but it might depend on the kind of meds you take
10:09 pm
stidmama

I am glad most of my allergies respond well to OTC meds and can be managed without professional attention (except the food allergies, those are so bad the allergist specifically said allergy shots would be too dangerous)

I am sorry you have the animal allergy problem -- I have to be careful what animals I am near, but I would be very sad if they ALL made me miserable
10:20 pm
Minveryork

Animals are the LEAST of my problems. It is all the dander, flowers, pollen, trees, weeds etc that I am allergic to stid.
10:21 pm
stidmama

I am so tired... I have to go to sleep I think. Min, I am glad that at least you have something that helps, even if it's not perfect. I hope it rains and washes the allergens out of the air for you!
