They're all pretty usual words - but I guess that doesn't help
12:50 am
Lizlin
Can tell you how many of each combination if you'd like - but it's probably too early to help you!
12:50 am
rururocks
got them.. finished now
12:51 am
Lizlin
Told you they weren't difficult
12:52 am
Bugsaw
well done ruru. You are a whiz at this
12:52 am
Lizlin
I'm totally in awe of all those who finish so quickly - without using lickety or similar.
12:53 am
Bugsaw
Me too Liz. Others use the list but still finish faster than I can type
12:53 am
Lizlin
I listed at 20 left - now down to 5 - it's a really nice grid.
12:53 am
rururocks
I have been stuck on simple p's for a long time.. duh ohhhh
12:53 am

hi bugs
12:54 am
Lizlin
Babble blindness - unusual for you.
12:54 am
rururocks
did you see jilli's post ? She cc'd me on it.> since I don't do facebook
12:54 am
Bugsaw
and yet you found 7 of them in one minute to finish
12:54 am
rururocks
once I figured it had to be pl words.. they fell into place
12:55 am
Bugsaw
I should go look. I don't do Facebook regularly.
12:55 am
rururocks
I don't do facebook ever
12:55 am
rururocks
but it's cute
12:58 am
Bugsaw
It was so much fun. The colour of the dessert wine was exquisite, even if we didn't drink it!
12:59 am
rururocks
you didn't drink it?
1:00 am
rururocks
it was perfect with the berries and the brulee
1:00 am
Bugsaw
I drank it for sure! but I loved the colour so much it was hard to swallow
1:01 am
Bugsaw
I loved the berries and brulee. I have never had better in my life.
1:01 am
rururocks
I can't remember a more stunning dessert wine than that wine.. for many years. The color was gorgeous
1:01 am
rururocks
I was happy with the brulee..the rest of the dinner was ok
1:02 am
Bugsaw
I see from the post that Jill had no trouble polishing off any left overs. hee hee
1:02 am
rururocks
ha... That's why I made extra.. so she wouldn't grumble about the dishes for weeks :D
1:02 am
Bugsaw
You were under such pressure creating that meal. We both thot it was tremendous
1:03 am
Bugsaw
We brought some of the beet salad home and it only got better with age. Perfect for a hot day.
1:03 am
rururocks
thanks.. I can do better.. but I tried my best with the limitations I had.
1:04 am
Bugsaw
and you were successful, so don't beat yourself up. I will never forget the Nun of the Above. So fast and so clever!
1:04 am
rururocks
I really love that beet salad.. I created that for some veggie friends once.. they loved it
1:05 am
rururocks
:D that was a good pun.. I love making jilli wince with bad puns :D
1:06 am

Hello gang!

If you share recipies, I would like that on and the brulee.
1:07 am

hey!!! the Star!!.. Hi jilli
1:07 am

Hey Jilli! We were just talking about you and all the dishes you had to do.
1:07 am
jillibus
Here's to ruru, he's true blue
Generous guy and great chef too.
1:07 am
Lizlin
Hi Jilli - how lovely to see you. I was just salivating at Ru's and Bug's description of the lovely food he made.
1:08 am
jillibus
Did you see the menu?
1:08 am
rururocks
ixnay on the dishesnay bugs
1:08 am
Lizlin
No - just reading about the beet salad and brulee
1:08 am
rururocks
the brulee came out great.. torch or no torch
1:09 am
Lizlin
I love brulee
1:09 am
jillibus
And I did find the ruddy torch, hidden in a cupboard -- perfectly logica;l pl;ace.
1:09 am
rururocks
this one is lighter and fluffier and not as dense
1:09 am
Bugsaw
Jill sent a picture of where she found the torch and I still couldn't see it for a long time. It was well hidden
1:09 am
Lizlin
LOL - that's always the way, Jilli
1:10 am
rururocks
although the same amount of calories
1:10 am
Bugsaw
It was creamier than any brulee I have had before.
1:10 am
Lizlin
That sounds ideal - fewer calories would be even better but not as tasty.
1:10 am
rururocks
I can't wait to come back to BC.. it was so much fun.. maybe this fall.
1:11 am
jillibus
Well, considering it contained 18% cream and whipping cream I'm not surprised.
1:11 am
Lizlin
You should do the drive through the Rockies some time Ru - stunning.
1:12 am
jillibus
Ru -- come back for the Fall Fair, mid-September.
1:13 am
rururocks
I'll think about it.. have to time it with work
1:13 am
Bugsaw
I totally ignored the idea of calories and went to appreciate the explosions of flavours. Things blended so well, the wines were superb and the company was fun. Such a good time.
1:13 am
rururocks
lots of earthy flavors in the food
1:13 am
Lizlin
Sleep well all of you - really happy to have seen you again, Jilli. You're missed here.
1:14 am

The Rockies are stunning Lizlin. My favourite drive is the road between Banff and Jasper.

Oh, I found two insects.
11:15 am
rururocks
what are the insects?
11:15 am

Cereal? Just cereal? No creamery butter? No farm fresh bacon and eggs?
11:15 am

I'm not sure if this is babble or National Geographic

When I read National Geographic I'm always spelling the words.....
11:18 am

I have eggs..but am out of toast.. got to have toast with eggs
11:24 am
MollyL
Or soft boiled eggs with toast soldiers!!!
11:24 am
rururocks
toast soldiers?
11:25 am
rururocks
that's a new one on me
11:26 am
MollyL
It's what little kids call strips of toast you use to dip in soft boiled eggs. Kind of like the word "boobies". It's from the under six set.
11:27 am
rururocks
the only boobies I know are in the Galapagos Islands
11:30 am
bichon
has anyone heard from ruby since yesterday?
11:30 am
rururocks
soldiers.. I'll have to remember that.. that's pretty funny.. must be an East Coast thing
11:30 am
dcseain
i'd never heard the term 'toast soldiers' until some people in rec.foods.cooking brought it up a couble months ago. All in the midwest.
11:30 am
harpjane
um ruby?
11:30 am
rururocks
yes.. just did...bichon
11:31 am
dcseain
ruru, not this part of the east coast,not in the Northeast nor in Ohio
11:31 am
sallyds
I thought toast soldiers was a Brit thing.
11:32 am
rururocks
ah.. that could be sallyds.. the brits have cute names for everything
11:32 am
MollyL
Brits and Canadians (wannabe Brits) use the term toast soldiers.
11:33 am
Deeha
Toast soldiers dipped in a boiled egg yum yum!!
11:34 am
rururocks
I think though in Oakland if you called a cop a Bobbie.. he'd beat the crap out of you
11:34 am
rururocks
I can't eat runny eggs..
11:34 am
sallyds
Depends on what part is runny.
11:35 am
Deeha
Sure they'd rather be a bobby here than a pig!!Did you know the white cars with the red stripes police use are called jam sandwiches!!
11:35 am
rururocks
ca 7 ..no hat
11:36 am
rururocks
no.. didn't know that either deeha
11:36 am
rururocks
oh..it is Bobby
11:38 am
harpjane
is the te8 a compound word?
11:38 am
MollyL
Only nasty people in the US refer to police officers as pigs. That is not a commonly used phrase for them.
11:39 am
bichon
te 8, not a compound but a common ending in this grid
11:40 am
harpjane
got it, thanks!
11:40 am
bichon
But we do refer to polices as the cops
11:41 am
bichon
that's from the British copper
11:41 am
rururocks
what I call an Officer depends on if I get a ticket or not :D
11:42 am
MollyL
Cop is actually a shortened version of constable on patrol.
11:42 am
bichon
I usually use sir or officer
11:42 am
MollyL
These days, I call them all "young man"
: D
11:42 am

11:43 am

Help with the se6 please?
11:43 am

Here is an interesting but useless fact!! Not about police! Do you know why there are always robins on Christmas cards???
11:43 am
MollyL
Oh sorry, didn't mean to trounce on the tidbits, songs, comic strips, quotes of the day.
11:43 am
rururocks
no..why deeha?
11:44 am
MollyL
Robins on Christmas cards is a British thing.
11:44 am
Deeha
Because Victorian postmen had red waistcoats and they were called 'robins' - and the tradition started. boom boom!!
11:45 am
rururocks
usually the only red breasts I see are at nudist beaches
11:47 am
MollyL
I always appreciate an adult male who uses the word "breasts". Tits, boobies and ta-tas gets old fast.
11:49 am

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!-- There are more barrels of whiskey than there are people in the state of Kentucky.
3:50 pm
Douglas
And how do you feel about that?
3:51 pm
crosshair
I feel theat they should share
3:52 pm

stidgmere
Oh, very nice!! I understand about men and their hobbies.
6:52 pm
crosshair
Have to give us our hobbies or we get up to dickens:-)
6:54 pm

Hobbies are pretty good things to have. When it becomes more adictive, then not so good.
6:54 pm
Bugsaw
Crossy, Mr Bugs always has a good time when I prod him to leave the safety of his projects but he is so shy it is never easy so I try not to do it too often. I have already made him attend 2 functions in 2 months
6:54 pm
crosshair
You are doing well at 1 per month:-)
6:55 pm
crosshair
Tell him that i xan put him on the guest list for my speech at the end of this month:-)

7:01 pm

One of the regrets I hear people voice is that they did not attend or complete their studies. Few people regret not spending more hours at the office.
