clues on 9 and 10 welcome...
12:15 am
melonheadjujube

I can see why, jbp. 5 Ss, 3 Es, 3 Is, 3 Rs, that's over half the letters in the grid.. Oh, and two Ds, two Ns.
12:16 am
melonheadjujube

re 7/9/10/8 clue: to offer a glass slipper role, the take it back.
12:17 am
melonheadjujube

That would be the 9 and 10, he who offers the glass slipper, and takes it back. (ick, I hate getting a clue wrong)
12:17 am
melonheadjujube

It's a humorous clue, at least I hope it is...
12:18 am
rururocks

it's libbyrating malon
12:18 am
melonheadjujube

If there's a Mureen playing, your name is in the grid (:

it may be humorous... i'll let you know when my monkeys are laughing

I want to see that film, rose, are you saying you didn't enjoy the film?
1:18 am
jillibus

hi flosey, fancy meeting you here
1:18 am
grannyrose

cooeee flosey. pugs, the story line was really sad. i boohooed a bit.
1:18 am
puglet

if you feel you need to Rose--lol
1:19 am
flosey

lol, fancy that
1:19 am
puglet

why didnt the church like it Rose
1:20 am
grannyrose

flosey, it's a great film, but the story is about how nuns sold children born out of wedlock, without their mothers permission. it is the story of one of those mothers trying to fine her baby.
1:20 am
jillibus

Flosey, I saw Philomena on Dec 27 and found it very powerful. I can see why rose was mad at the church. The acting was magnificent by everyone.
1:20 am
puglet

flosey, got an extra piece of that pie? it does look good :)
1:21 am

judi dench carried the film i think.

Hi Liz

I can believe that rose, as judi does
1:22 am
grannyrose

i know, flosey, which is what makes me so cross. no mother and her child should go through that sort of experience.
1:22 am
flosey

I will definitely be seeing it
1:22 am
puglet

where did it happen at Rose
1:22 am
Lizlin

It's a film I want to see, along with the butler.
1:23 am
grannyrose

it's a three tissue movie, flosey. be warned
1:23 am
flosey

yes, want to see the butler too
1:23 am
flosey

I'll take the whole box
1:23 am

I missed seeing the Butler here. Our little theatre doesn't keep films long.
1:23 am

Liz are you talking about the film with OW
1:23 am

it begins in ireland, goes to america, then back to ireland.
1:24 am
Lizlin

OW?
1:25 am

btw, lunch was yummy, pugs. my appetite has been down because of the pain...it makes me feel sick. so when i do have an appetite, i want something nice. i can't believe i ate it all. 2 poached eggs on so4 dough toast, a pork sausage, bacon, hash brown,a tomato, grilled, and field mushrooms done in butter. i probably wont eat until tomorrow now.
1:28 am
grannyrose

liz, go diagonally down for your 3rd letter, then plural
1:28 am

Glad you fancied some food, Rose. A real Aussie fry up by the sound of it!

1:29 am

1:30 am

Nope! Not seeing that xe 7 - can you give me a bit more pls?
1:31 am

yeah, i know, pugs. i try and eat something before i take my meds. and don and i are wanting crunchy food, ie salad

1:33 am

yay you, liz, nice work
1:34 am

Ive been having a craving for peaches and cottage cheese
1:34 am

Ooh, pugs, are you preggers?
1:34 am
grannyrose

*giggle* it's almost like being pregnant...and no!! i am not. last night i really craved steak...the one we had was delicious.
1:34 am
Lizlin

No problem with that, Jilli.
1:35 am
Dianne

sometimes it is so difficult to figure how the word comes together. I typed in the person who needs to confess but couldn't see how became a word in the grid.
1:35 am
Lizlin

Rose, have you been watching Coast Australia?
1:35 am
puglet

so did you get you some Rose? (steak that is--oh and beef at that)
1:35 am

1:36 am

and thanks for that, dianne, lol! It jumped out at me.
1:37 am
grannyrose

yes on both accounts, pugs
1:37 am
Dianne

Jilli - I guess we all are.
1:37 am
Dianne

You see what I mean about the plural?
1:37 am
grannyrose

no, liz, is it good? himself hogs the remote, so i usually only get to watch what he wants to see
1:37 am
puglet

I did not need all that imfo Rose--lol
1:37 am
jillibus

So They say, Dianne...
1:38 am
Lizlin

Dianne, I did that from the clues with the re 7,9,10,8!
1:38 am
grannyrose

those re words are very twisty.
1:38 am
jillibus

I see, Dianne -- frustrating
1:39 am
Dianne

this really is a twisty grid. Thanks for the hint on the re words - not there yet, still on the s's.
1:39 am
Lizlin

Yes it's excellent. Used to watch it in England. Next week it's Mornington to Port Campbell.
1:39 am

grannyrose

fortunately not pugs.
2:03 am
jillibus

How sad, rose.
2:03 am
flosey

yes, very sad
2:03 am
Lizlin

Perhaps he'll get over it Rose. It's his loss too.
2:04 am
puglet

is he like that towards the other family members too
2:04 am
grannyrose

it is sad, jilli. and he doesn't seem to care either. maybe his new lady will make him think differently. she looks very sweet, kind and gentle.
2:04 am
Lizlin

Hope so.
2:05 am
grannyrose

pugs, he is very erratic in his attitude to his brothers, and family members on his father's side. my side, he totally ignores.
2:06 am
grannyrose

hey, look on the bright side, i have 2 very loving and attentive sons. one of whom brings me the joy of grandchildren. i can't complain.
2:07 am
puglet

thats a shame Rose---did he come to your mothers funneral or the boxing day
2:08 am
jillibus

Is he the eldest son or what?
2:08 am
grannyrose

he came to the hospital the day she died, and to the funeral. not boxing day, which is such a shame...it is such a fun time.
2:09 am
grannyrose

yes jilli, he is the eldest.
2:09 am
Soodle

Sorry for butting in..... Rose, your pics are fab! Has anybody else remarked how similar your Don is to Crossy & Joso? Seriously, together they would be The Three Bears!
2:09 am
Lizlin

Hadn't thought about that but you're so right, Soodle.
2:09 am
grannyrose

lolol, soodle...i know....and if we had a pic of ruru, i think maybe we might have the four bears...
2:10 am

Jilli didnt you go to your son's for x-mas
2:10 am
dizgrannie

grrr dtr (33) blames me for her bi polar, and says I should have had her tested when she was younger....oh derr it is not a blood test to determine it. Have read a lot the past few weeks on the subject.
2:10 am
jillibus

Well, rose, at least you have two other sons. Thank goodness my only son, my only offspring, is friendly.
2:10 am
grannyrose

who was it who went and saw the ruru?
2:11 am
Soodle

And your Grands are adorable. That Braxton has a wicked twinkle in his eye.
2:11 am

Iam thinking Flosey Rose
2:11 am

poor diz...it so sad when our offspring unfairly blame us for their problems.
2:11 am
jillibus

I saw ruru. He is not a bear. And yes, pug, I went to my son and his family for Xmas -- lovely.
2:11 am
puglet

I think Braxton kind of favers you Rose
2:12 am
grannyrose

darn, flosey, was rather hoping he was a cuddly teddy.
2:12 am
grannyrose

sorry, jilli
2:12 am
puglet

was the traviling bad? I know you were a bit worried about it before you left
2:12 am
grannyrose

maybe around the mouth...
2:14 am
grannyrose

especially when he cries...which he doesn't do very often. he is a very placid baby, just like his daddy.
2:16 am
puglet

He is a pretty baby thats for sure
2:17 am
jillibus

pug, the travelling was interesting and a bit hilarious. It was all n the daylight, but there's a new highway my GPS didn't know about and onto which I inadvertently went. So here was "Felicity" (the name I call the voice) completely at sea and recalculating all the time, with the map showing my car in a blank space. Fortunately I had my iPhone with Google Maps up to date, and a book of maps too which showed the projected highway and I was able to figure it all out.
2:18 am
jillibus

I have now updated the GPS!
2:18 am
puglet

LOL Jilli--glad you made there
2:18 am
grannyrose

please remind me not to go ne4 the nasty old man in the study. he is trying to make a watchable dvd of MIL's funeral. the funeral directors gave us a dvd, made from security camera footage. it really is appalling. but this dvd is going overseas to scotland to MIL's family there. and as usual, don wants it to be perfect.
2:19 am

2:48 am
puglet

Iam listening to instrumental music and they are playing Tammy's in Love---I like that tune
2:48 am
Lizlin

Sounds nice, pugs.
2:49 am
puglet

have you ever heard it or seen the movie( its a old movie)
2:49 am
Lizlin

Fraud not, pugs.
2:49 am
Lizlin

Afraid!
2:50 am
grannyrose

pugs, when i wear the stockings, just the top of my feet appear swollen. so all good. and the nasty old man has just emerged from the study. he is reasonably happy with the dvd now. phew!!
2:50 am
puglet

maybe sometime when you got time you can go to tinyurl and hear it
2:50 am
puglet

thats good Rose(on both accounts)
2:51 am
grannyrose

liz, we usually do have a quiet evening. pretty much past the cheering, count-down etc. but i do like the fireworks from the harbour bridge.
2:52 am
puglet

can you see them from your home
2:52 am
Lizlin

Plan to watch that too. Usually with friends but not this year, so having a romantic meal, bubbles later and we got some sparklers!
2:53 am
Lizlin

Will also watch the London fireworks tomorrow.
2:53 am
grannyrose

lolol, no pugs. i am referring to the fireworks in sydney...about 560 miles from where we live.
2:54 am
grannyrose

liz, did you see the edinburgh tattoo?
2:54 am
puglet

oh so a tv show of it then?
2:55 am
Lizlin

No, Rose.
2:55 am
grannyrose

usually a live broadcast, if not can see it the next day.
2:55 am
puglet

so you got bubbles and sparklers for you and don too
2:55 am
puglet

you guys get new year first
2:56 am
Lizlin

Yes pugs. In Queensland they show it at midnight, which is an hour later than Sydney BUT they pretend it's live!!!
2:56 am
grannyrose

very disappointing. they had 3 asian bands/dance troupes performing...completely lost the 'flavour' of the moment.
2:56 am
Lizlin

That's a shame. It's usually good.
2:56 am
grannyrose

lolol, liz...you are so naughty...
2:57 am
Lizlin

;)
2:58 am
grannyrose

the new zealand band was great, as were all the other bands.
2:58 am
puglet

we had a small show yesterday and the temps have fallen into the 20's
2:58 am
Lizlin

Just different, then.
2:58 am
puglet

I meant snow
2:59 am
grannyrose

pugs, have already had our bubbles, no sparklers....
3:00 am
puglet

well its not NY yet---so can that count?
3:00 am
grannyrose

yes, liz. not su4 what they were trying to achieve. i want precision marching, and lots of bag-pipes.
3:00 am
Lizlin

I've never seen sparklers on sale here before. You can buy fireworks inEngland.
3:01 am
grannyrose

4 hours to new years .
3:01 am
grannyrose

liz, you can buy sparklers. not the fireworks. you ne4 a permit to use them.
3:01 am
puglet

are you staying up to watch it come in
3:02 am
Lizlin

Ah! OK, so seriously though I thought you meant the bands were sub-standard. I see what you mean though. Just away from tradition!
3:02 am
grannyrose

not me...drugs get me down...ne4 my pillow well before 12 midnight.
3:02 am
Lizlin

5 hours here! We hope to stay up but if we don't it doesn't matter!
3:03 am
Lizlin

Might watch the fireworks in bed. It also depends on what noise is coming from other houses in the street!
3:03 am
flosey

23 hours here
3:03 am
puglet

you ladies sound like old people--lol
3:03 am
Lizlin

It funny - I used to watch the Sydney fireworks in the morning, when I lived in England!
3:04 am
grannyrose

yes, liz. away from tradition. cannot see how dragons etc are a part of a scottish celebration.
3:04 am
Lizlin

Bed isn't just for old people!
3:04 am
Lizlin

They aren't unless they're celtic dragons!
3:05 am
flosey

3:06 am
grannyrose

lolol, agree with liz...just who are you calling 'old people'...and yes, liz. celtic dragons are definitely okay
3:06 am
Lizlin

Yay! He's opening the bubbles~
3:06 am
flosey

3:06 am

3:26 am
o-o

not much jibberwacky in this one
3:26 am
puglet

good for you!
3:28 am
puglet

it all looks jibberwacky until you find the words(and is jibberwacky a word or is it your word)
3:28 am
o-o

Has been awhile since a grid had no t
3:29 am
puglet

thats true but I never thought of that until you said so
3:31 am
Cosmo Kramer

and this grid has only one no word letter. the right corner i . usually at least 5-6 letters will be 'blank'
3:32 am
o-o

The UW researchers used pseudowords, or what Berninger calls "jibberwacky," which are similar to the nonsense syllables in Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky."
3:35 am
puglet

I will have to look that poem up and read it
3:36 am
o-o

Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves
Did gyre and gymble in ye wabe:
All mimsy were ye borogoves;
And ye mome raths outgrabe.
3:39 am
puglet

I take it that ,that is the poem and I got no ideal what it is talking about
3:41 am
o-o

Part of it ... ought to be of interest to those that are adamant that Enable only accepts made up words
3:42 am
o-o

Of course, all words were made up. Language started from scratch ...
3:44 am
puglet

thats true OO---Iam taking from the last line that the mom's wrath (not sure of the last word outgrabe)
3:44 am
puglet

but it dont sound good-lol
3:47 am
o-o

“When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.” ~ Lewis Carroll
3:49 am
jwr

Wiki says: "Jabberwocky" is considered one of the greatest nonsense poems written in English. Its playful, whimsical language has given English nonsense words and neologisms such as "galumphing" and "chortle"
3:51 am
o-o

With such arrogance, I think Humpty got his just desserts.
3:52 am
sprite

good morning all
3:52 am
jwr

Nah - he just got his words scrambled
3:52 am

lacking gravitas
3:59 am
sprite

oh what a fun word! I want to remember this one.
4:00 am
o-o

apathetic: uninterested, indifferent, or nonchalantly detached
apathetic person: somebody who is uninterested, indifferent, or nonchalantly detached
4:01 am
o-o

There are days I am neither for nor against apathy
4:01 am
sprite

not the best of days, I bet
4:02 am
o-o

not too bad ... like one of my treatment team member told me, may as make the most of my pity parties
4:03 am
o-o

may as well make
4:03 am
sprite

good advice. When you do have one, enjoy it while it lasts. You don't strike me as someone who often has them ;_)
4:03 am
sprite

that smiley went haywire. It was a simple wink ;)
4:04 am

hey, your profile text makes me realise that I have collected a whole babble dictionary of pseudowords in mine!
4:06 am
puglet

4:07 am
o-o

Great, pugs
4:07 am
puglet

he had one on about time Sprite and it gave you something to think about
4:08 am
puglet

I detest having pity parties! :(
4:08 am
sprite

o-o's profile texts are always worthwhile
4:09 am
puglet

I know! Though there are a few I dont get or understand
4:09 am
sprite

a pity party is great to get the stress off your emotional state. And after, we need to kick ourselves under our arses and get moving again.
4:09 am
o-o

Your are a person of value, pugs ... tell yourself that and believe it
4:10 am
sprite

amen to that, o-o
4:10 am
puglet

I hope you dont mind OO, but when I first come on babble I go to who's online and check you out for the daily quote to ponder
4:11 am
puglet

thank you both! I value both of yours frienship very much
4:11 am
sprite

4:15 am
Dianne

4:16 am
puglet

Sprite what movie did you go see
4:16 am
sprite

we didn't go to the movies, pug, but to the theater. It was cabaret. Very funny and nice.
4:16 am
o-o

re 7/36; 9/66; 10/84/ and 8/50
4:17 am

4:17 am
o-o

4:17 am
sprite

oh lol :) No, let me check, I probably am using the wrong word
4:18 am
Dianne

4:18 am
o-o

legal term that is extended

4:20 am

4:30 am
puglet

Rose says shes doing better with her swelling
4:31 am
o-o

ci 9/66 has to do with residue .... a in word is probably is one that is familiar as a means of bringing about the residue
4:34 am
o-o

the four xe words a new visitors to the grid for me
4:34 am
sprite

lol...no news yet... lab results have been in for days, but the wrong doctor has checked them out and she didn't understand why I had the blood tested. And my own doctor won't be there until thursday.
4:35 am
sprite

that is good news, pug, about rose. I emailed her yesterday, haven't heard back yet.
4:35 am
sprite

for me too, o-o.
4:36 am
puglet

are you guys going to stay up to watch the NY come in
4:36 am
o-o

I likely will be up but not because of a new year
4:36 am
sprite

probably. Both our children are away to celebrate with friends. It is just me and my love. We secretly like it ;)
4:37 am
sprite

will think of you then, o-o, and wishing for many light moments in the year to come
4:38 am
Dianne

Well friends I am leaving 4 words for tomorrow and am going to go make a nice new year's even dinner for us. Wishing you all the very best.

4:41 am

4:41 am
puglet

Thanks much, sprite. Be careful if you do go out.
4:42 am
sprite

4:45 am

4:46 am
puglet

If you dont have a car Sprite, how do you get all your things home? You got a red wagon to pull? :)
4:46 am

4:47 am
sprite

4:47 am
puglet

4:48 am

4:49 am
puglet

my closest store is about 15 miles away
4:49 am

4:52 am
gapeach

No snow, pugs. But had a cold and rainey night and day....cleared up some, but more rain and cold is in the forcast.
4:53 am
puglet

I hope you dont get ice there--that stuff is wicked
4:55 am
gapeach

We don't get snow very often and that's a good thing because we aren't prepared to salt or sand the roads.....so when the first snow flake falls everything closes down. It blew my mind when I moved here from KY, I was used to going to work and school whatever the weather. LOL
4:58 am
gapeach

anyone have sc8-50 please....thanks
4:58 am
puglet

thats how it was for me too----unless the state closed the roads we went to work. I remember once it was so foggy , my sister(we worked at the same place) had to hold the door open as I crawled along to watch for the white line to make sure I didnt go off the road--lol
4:59 am
gapeach

Oh, wow!
5:00 am
puglet

I dont have the 8 peach

The kings will lose your old address.
No star will flare up to impress.
The ear may yield, under duress,
to blizzards’ nagging roar.
The shadows falling off your back,
you’d snuff the candle, hit the sack,
for calendars more nights can pack
than there are candles for.

What is this? Sadness? Yes, perhaps.
A little tune that never stops.
One knows by heart its downs and ups.
May it be played on par
with things to come, with one’s eclipse,
as gratefulness of eyes and lips
for what occasionally keeps
them trained on something far.

And staring up where no cloud drifts
because your sock’s devoid of gifts
you’ll understand this thrift: it fits
your age; it’s not a slight.
It is too late for some breakthrough,
for miracles, for Santa’s crew.
And suddenly you’ll realize that you
yourself are a gift outright. _ Josef Broadsky

How do you drive, by I84? If so, you can take 691 to I91 North and be right next to Middletown
3:26 pm
Minveryork

I take 84 to 91.I probably won't make another trip to VT until Spring or Summer. Or we could meet halfway between me and you.Don't know where that would be
3:28 pm
bichon

Probably the best place is a rest stop off I 84 in Southington. I know there is a truck rest stop there and wouldn't take you out of your way.

UUSue, sometimes (not often) when I am folding, my cpu goes to 100%, and the only thing I can do it stop it temporarily. I have a quad-core processor, and loads of room. Does that happen to you?
6:17 pm
uusue2

since I got my new computer it's almost always near 100% although I told folding not to do that - the computer seems to run fine anyway so I haven't bothered with it.
6:17 pm
uusue2

It does get cranky when the RAM gets near 100% but that usually takes several days of uptime, and I just reboot it. I don't know if that has anything to do with folding anyway.
6:18 pm
ch1212

Mmm... You answered another question (thank you!) which was, do I have an option to tell them not to run that much. I will go into my options and do that. Normally it's no problem, and it just runs anytime I have the computer on.
6:19 pm
uusue2

you do have an option to limit it to a certain fraction of CPU but that doesn't seem to work for me any more
6:20 pm
ch1212

That's because you're the top producer on our team ;) and they are stretching things to the limit! (lol)
6:21 pm
uusue2

am I? I haven't checked in ages. Cool!
6:21 pm
ch1212

Pretty sure you are, by a huge margin. Huge.
6:21 pm
uusue2

Now I can justify keeping my computer on all the time - I'm always getting at the rest of the family to turn unused things off (mostly lights but also the TV)
6:22 pm
uusue2

ok, now I have to go check :-)
6:23 pm
ch1212

You are. :)
6:24 pm
uusue2

So I am. Well, that's a good thing. I'll have to show Frank.
6:25 pm
uusue2

And I did; he is impressed :-)
6:26 pm
ch1212

Thank you, by the way, for your service to all of us in that. It was you who clued many of us in and encouraged us to help.
6:27 pm
uusue2

Ah, nice. Well, it was crossy who set up the Babblers team and got me started.
6:27 pm
ch1212

Then thanks to crossy too. I need to scoot - beloved will be home soon, and dinner isn't started yet. Happy new year to all, and stay safe!

it's an hour after the flip for us, minver
10:14 pm

our flip is at 11:00 pm

10:52 pm
rururocks

10:52 pm

I can jilly but the downhill boots might not need them since the foot doesn't move in a downhill boot.
10:52 pm
rururocks

Mine was the heel
10:53 pm
harpjane

The downhill boots are just about exactly the neutral position that my night braces are
10:53 pm
Jillyjill

I have a cat attatched to my left side...fireworks here too
10:53 pm
stidmama

the heel is what hurts, ruru -- but for me when I paid attention to my "foot posture" and got the right orthotics for my arch the plantar fasciitis diminished.
