4:31 am

no Indians here and barely any turkeys
4:33 am

We switched it up this year. Beef is so fabiously expensive in the last year we have hardly had a drop but for stewing beef bits every now and then in the slow cooker, so for Thanksgiving I bought a old time beef roast. It is about 6 pounds in weight and a thing of beauty. I will serve it with mashed, steamed veggies, yorkie puds and my home-made gravy. Dessert will be a nice dutch crumble apple pie with a scoop or 2 of French vanilia ice cream on the side:)
4:34 am

I sed to make a Thanksgiving feast here, but had to go to Switz to buy an American turkey and the French never "got\' a Thursday lunch!

I am thankful to be in a country where my medical needs were taken care of in a timely manner. I am thankful that even after many decades, there was an education just waiting there for me to finish as I wished, and I am thankful for you fine babblers;))

Not really, they have their own families anyway. My best friend actually lives in a different city.
5:36 am

I have been alone once or twice on days such as this, and I find the best thing to do with yourself is to find someone in need and make that day just a little bit better for them and you in turn make the day worthwhile for yourself.

I usually spend the holidays alone but I don't mind really.

We had an independant mortgage broker in town. For years he has gone out every thanksgiving and every christmas and bought 250 turkeys, 250 small bags of taters, canned veggies and 250 frozen apples pies and gives Full meals away to those who need it. He is a cancer survivor as well and we have gotten together for a beer on occasion. :)

There is a guy in Kitchener who does the same thing.

7:33 am
MollyL
49 words is a big chunk of the grid, Zoom.
7:34 am
Anniebrook
Molly, not that I know of. She can go to TKTS. You can get discounted tickets for shows that have available seats for that day. The drawback is you have to stand in line sometimes for a long ti4.
7:34 am
zoozzoom
Yes it certainly felt like it too, Molly :-)
7:34 am
MollyL
Thanks Annie. Long lines are not very "senior friendly"
7:35 am

NO they are not. Perhaps she can call the box office of the play she is interested in seeing and inquire about senior discounts.

As much as I love words and the hunt to find them in these daily grids, I have completed only a handful of puzzles in the years that I have been babbling.... I just don't see them the way that most of you are able to do... but the hunt is still fun (and the chog, of course!)

Ooooh, methinks we just had an earthquake... (for real -- I am in central Oklahoma)

Oh my goodness!
8:52 am

Interesting, lexo. Was it a big one?
8:53 am

nahhhh.... damn things are so common these days... it was probably less than 3.0
8:53 am

3 or 4 in your area according to USGS
8:54 am

Ah - baby stuff. Did you dishes rattle?
8:54 am

there have been over 700 in my area since January.... not a typo... 700+

But not since about 3:00 this morning
8:54 am
Judi
Wow! What's shaking things up in OK?
8:55 am
car.eeyore
Lots happening in Iceland....may be ready for a volcanic event there.
8:55 am
lexophile
didn't even feel any shaking... unless they are greater than 3.0, there is sometimes just a "sound" that I've come to identify... weird...
8:56 am
lexophile
many are blaming oil and gas industry, but there is no conclusive evidence
8:56 am
josephjames
there was no conclusive evidence that smoking caused health problems ... until there was
8:57 am
car.eeyore
I remember as a kid thinking to myself, if they are drilling and blowing up chunks of the earth to the bedrock, won't that cause problems? I was Waaaaay ahead of my time I guess!
8:57 am
lexophile
we are not on a major fault line, and the same practices that have been taking place around here are also happening all over oil and gas producing states, so it doesn't seem to explain why they are centered around here
8:58 am
doseffing
... problem with fracking causing earthquakes is why only in oklahoma? ... No particular increase in Quebec and Alberta
8:59 am

but time will tell... unless we all want to park our vehicles and turn off electricity, the hunt for fuel will not ever stop
8:59 am

Oklahoma is going through a wiggly phase. Who knows.
9:00 am
lexophile
exactly, dos... it's logical that the displacement of natural formations will cause some kind of change, but why only here???
9:03 am
doseffing
... because it isn't the human activity that is causing anything ... there's something else going on ... despite the Superman movie and the Man From Uncle TV show there isn't anything that humans can do that is anywhere near powerful enough to cause or contribute to earthquakes
9:03 am

... we do lots of stupid things but not that yet

Underground nuke testing might touch off quakes, but that is definitely not going on (or so we all hope).

I meant in you pic. Nice.
3:29 pm
Soodle
Chilling in front of the fire??? You know what I mean...
3:30 pm
Soodle
Oh right! Great weekend 2 weeks ago with the offspring domiciled in the UK.
3:30 pm
MollyL
If you are chilling, you need to stoke up that peat
3:31 pm
Soodle
The fire's roaring! Tis me that's chilling!
3:33 pm
Soodle
I could not think of that word for the life of me! Thanks for putting me out of my misery, Hego.
3:33 pm

3:33 pm
Soodle
Oxymoron.!
3:34 pm

3:34 pm
Soodle

3:35 pm

3:36 pm
Trifioso
and you as well, my dear
3:36 pm
Soodle
Snuffling in sympathy, Hego.
3:37 pm
Trifioso
I had a horrid, running cold yesterday. Threw everything I had at it, slept for hours, and woke up much better today, thank goodness
3:37 pm
Soodle
So...Ms Trif? How is Mr Valentine?
3:37 pm
Trifioso

3:37 pm
hego
All ears......
3:38 pm
hego
Happy for Trif. :D
3:39 pm
Trifioso

3:39 pm
MollyL
Oh my, chicken soup and hankies for all the poor pitiful snifflers. *Sob*
3:39 pm
Trifioso

3:40 pm
hego
ty, love chicken soup.
3:40 pm
MollyL
Except for Trif, who obviously has her horn girl thing on, hence must be feeling fine.
3:40 pm
Trifioso
nope, still getting over my cold, molly, no "horn girl" here!
3:41 pm
MollyL
Oh sorry. Can't wait must have been about hand holding.
3:41 pm
Soodle
Don't feed the green eyed monster, Molly!! I am torn between being ragingly jealous of Trif, and over the moon for her!
3:41 pm
Trifioso
I LOOOOOVE holding hands!
3:42 pm
MollyL
*Cues up Carpenter's music
3:42 pm
Trifioso
we are just going to hang out, watch a movie, and be quiet together.
3:42 pm
hego
Aawwww........
3:42 pm
MollyL
Jealous, Soodle? Really?
3:42 pm
Soodle
Yup! Raging jealousy trumps over-the-moonness!
3:43 pm
Trifioso
Im sorry....I don't want you to be jealous!
3:44 pm
Soodle
I'd really like to have the hand of a decent man to hold!
3:44 pm
Trifioso
trust me, there are PLENTY of days he has his head up his ass....
3:44 pm
MollyL
Wow, I'm always happy for someone who has a happy love thing going on.
3:44 pm
hego
It will happen for you Soodle, I'll light a candle.
3:44 pm
Soodle
Jaysus, Trif! Don't be sorry! Enjoy!!!
3:46 pm
Trifioso

3:46 pm
Soodle
Rolf, Hego!!!! Just be careful what you wish for, OK? A millionaire with a dodgy heart would be good!!!
3:46 pm
hego
lol, you're very picky....
3:46 pm
MollyL
Soodle, don't forget about that head up his ass part. There are a lot of thing "not to miss"
3:47 pm
Soodle
Hows she getting on, Trif?
3:47 pm
Trifioso
shes very, very happy. All three of my kids will be together! whee!
3:48 pm
hego
That's a great thing Soodle.
3:48 pm
Trifioso
count for the lone o in the bottom row, please?
3:49 pm
Soodle
No better feeling than to know that Trif. And Molls, I am prepared to overlook many design flaws, once the bank balance is impressive.
3:49 pm
hego
anybody know the first co8, 50.
3:49 pm
hego
I'm getting blind.
3:50 pm

3:51 pm
Trifioso

3:52 pm
hego
ty, but that's the 2nd.
3:53 pm
Soodle
Sorry Hego. Not listed yet. Thats all I have
3:54 pm
Soodle
Trif, are your kids fond of Valentine?
3:55 pm
MollyL
Soodle, I agree. I would overlook just about any y-chromo flaws for a healthy bank balance. Here's to us, Slainte!
3:55 pm
Trifioso
my son LOVES him, Secondo is okay with him, Tertiare has called him dad a couple of times, which freaked me right out...he was much cooler about it - said she was just trying it on, and to leave it alone, which was the best course, as it turned out
3:58 pm
Soodle
Hmm. Interesting. My lot start off on a 'This guy is a creep' and it degenerates from there. I actually don't tell them these days when I'm going on a date.
3:58 pm
MollyL
So, if he becomes a permanent, live-in guy in your house, your kids will call him "Dad"?
3:58 pm
Trifioso
In my experience there are truly two schools of thought as to when to introduce someone....I waited a bit, wanting to see whether or not he would be sticking around
3:59 pm
Trifioso
I don't know molly. I doubt it, but you never know.
3:59 pm
Trifioso
Primo and secondo won't
3:59 pm
Trifioso
they are too old
4:00 pm
Trifioso
they don't call me mum anymore, so why would they call him dad?
4:00 pm
hego
I am desparate for co 8, 50. the first one, pls
4:02 pm
Soodle
Whatever!! Trif, you are clearly enjoying a good relationship and I salute you! Enjoy m'dear. :-)
4:04 pm
hego
got it!! whew!
4:05 pm
hego
must go! Happy weekend All!
4:05 pm
Soodle
Gee, that Co 8/50 is bugging me now...
4:07 pm
Trifioso
I still can't find the bottom row o, so still no nbt
4:09 pm
Soodle
Is it on4/4, Trif?
4:10 pm
Trifioso
dont think so
4:11 pm
Trifioso
whoop! found it! NBT!!!!
4:11 pm
Soodle
I can't figure out which of my O's come from that letter. Sorry
4:13 pm
MollyL
Oh dear, I got a "!" after my name : O
4:14 pm
MollyL
I was just asking a question, there was no judgment call on that.
4:14 pm
Trifioso
didn't bother me, molly, and I was the one you were asking, so it's all good
4:14 pm
MollyL
Thanks Trif
4:15 pm
Soodle
Clue, please Trif, and, Hey, Bich. :-)
4:15 pm
Trifioso
basically, you add an o to an existing do6
4:20 pm
bichon
I have one co 8, second one
4:21 pm
Soodle
Whew. Long day today. I went to work in the morning. Took a half day. Drove 50 miles to take my dad to a medical appointment. Dropped him back, then drove 35 miles to see Mother. Then took Mother to see Father, then took mother back home, then came home in time to take Soodle the Younger to work...i'm exhausted!! Lol
4:21 pm
Trifioso
whoops, gotta run - good luck all
4:25 pm
Soodle
<~~~ madly jealous of Trif. :-/
4:30 pm
uusue2
<-- getting tired just reading about Soodle's day :-
4:31 pm
uusue2
so tired that I seem to have lost my smile! :-)
4:31 pm
MollyL
Soodle, It's too bad that you are the only sibling willing to care for your elderly parents. You should have some help with that.
4:32 pm
Soodle
((((Sue))) How you doing, old friend?
4:32 pm
uusue2
I am doing pretty well, Soodle, although I would rather take a nap right now than walk the dogs (but guess what I will be doing soon...)
4:33 pm
Soodle
Not at all Molls. The others also play their part. Its only me that moans.
4:36 pm
Soodle
Sue, you and Frank occupy a lot of my thoughts. If empathy is any good to either of you at this difficult time, please be assured of mine. That sounds trite & hollow, but it's a genuine feeling. (((()))
4:37 pm
uusue2
Ah, you are such a sweetheart, Soodle! It really is good to know you care {{{{}}}}
4:37 pm
uusue2
however I really do need to go walk the dogs; back later...
4:38 pm
Soodle
Enjoy your walk, Sue. X
4:42 pm
Soodle
Hey Molly! Tullamore Dew has upgraded their productiin! It was on the news this evening. I thought of you!
4:44 pm
MollyL
I read something similar, Soodle. And hey, it never sounds trite and hollow to send good wishes to someone.
4:45 pm
MollyL
And sorry I misunderstood the sibling thing. I thought you had said that you were the sole person doing the care taking. Other siblings having family responsibilities and the like.
4:49 pm
bichon
Tullamore Dew, soda or beer or whiskey?
4:58 pm
Soodle
Oh, whiskey, Bich. Whiskey!!

72 Temple Owl
the longer words are hard to come by today.
5:09 pm
Biltong
They are indeed. My longest is od7/32, so far
5:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
ditto
5:10 pm
gremlinn
there are lots of long phantoms too
5:10 pm
gremlinn
a couple of changed letters and this could have had an epically large word count
5:11 pm
MollyL
Long Phantom sounds like an adult science fiction movie. : D
5:11 pm
gremlinn
I'm thinking, top N changed to R, and 2nd column D to a G (for the ing)
5:13 pm
gremlinn
Hmm, those two changes only makes it a 377-word grid
5:14 pm
gremlinn
But just the N -> R makes it 355.
5:16 pm
MollyL
Grem, I think you are off in a world most of us do not visit. : D
5:17 pm
gremlinn
Just exploring how small changes would have made a super grid (we can get over 500 words changing two letters) :)
5:19 pm
MollyL
I think the 744 word grid blew most people's minds. Not sure how 500 would go over.
5:20 pm
gremlinn
The more, the merrier, for me.
5:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
when did we have one that large?
5:23 pm
MollyL
April 21, 2012
5:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
geez, i can't even remember what i did last week.
5:26 pm
gremlinn
Heh, funny comments for that one. Looks like I missed that day :(
5:27 pm
MollyL
The 744 grid has been talked about a lot. And I have a somewhat photographic memory.
5:29 pm
gremlinn
heh, "Chronicles" is a phantom in that 744-word grid, somewhat appropriately
5:31 pm
gremlinn
Hmm, it might not take long to write some code to scrape all the archives and get some interesting stats (like average word count, which words show up the most in grids, etc.)
5:32 pm
gremlinn
I know Lickety's page does have some of that
5:33 pm
gremlinn
Hmm, like the interesting bit that there's been only one 13-letter word in the last 3026 grids
5:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
this gird is boring, to me.
5:55 pm
rururocks
*sends grid to charm school*
6:03 pm
gremlinn
more frustrating than boring to me - has a lot of nice words but a lot of phantoms too (and words that are counted on other words games but not here (metanoic, picante...))
6:05 pm
MollyL
I like challenging grids.
6:06 pm
penquis
*still pondering that*....
6:06 pm
rururocks
not too challenging though :D
6:06 pm
gremlinn
Are you pondering what I'm pondering, penquis?
6:07 pm
penquis
pondering whether i like challenging grids...
6:07 pm
penquis
i am down to 3 and stuck in ce 6....
6:08 pm
rururocks
what are you pondering grem?
6:08 pm
gremlinn
Whether I should leave work now
6:10 pm
rururocks
I never see the sea word
6:10 pm
MollyL
I see no one has asked Ru what HE is pondering
: D
6:11 pm
gremlinn
Are you pondering what Ru is pondering?
6:12 pm
rururocks
I'd have to wonder that too
6:12 pm
gremlinn
I should stop pandering to potential pundering.
6:12 pm
rururocks
these c's are brutal
6:12 pm
rururocks
I am withholding all punning at this time
6:13 pm
saanichcat
hello all my favourite babblers at once!
6:13 pm
rururocks
a punning sabbatical if you will

Hi scrabbs

6:52 pm
saanichcat
hi scrabbler
6:52 pm
Lizlin
It might be on here too - there are a couple of UK TV channels - in fact, those are what we watch most.
6:52 pm
Lizlin
Not that we watch that much!
6:53 pm
jaxx7
I think it is on in the US too.
6:55 pm
Scrabbler
I don't watch it. I don't watch much TV.
6:55 pm
jaxx7
I like the TV on winter weekends. I can sit and knit so I don't feel I am being too hedonistic.
6:56 pm
penquis

6:56 pm
Scrabbler
I spend about 2-3 hours on the internet daily.
6:58 pm
jaxx7
So do I usually but at weekends now there is Strictly Come dancing, casualty, and very soon Atlantis returns.
6:59 pm
jaxx7
and of course Dr Who but I am not too keen on Peter Capaldi as the 'new' dr and some of the episodes have been abominable
7:01 pm
Lizlin
Love Doctor Who - last episode was disappointing though. Interesting that it was co-written - not just Stephen Moffat!
7:01 pm
Scrabbler
I have never watched Dr Who but I know fans.
7:01 pm
