Oh, I remember the times I could have all four burners and the oven going.....Of course, I was much younger.
1:22 am

1:23 am
gapeach

So you had good weather today. That is nice this time of year......we've had a couple of freezing nights so far. Rather early for here.....I covered the hydrangea and I believe it has made it so far.
1:25 am

it was cool and cloudy but no rain
1:26 am

flosey, how is jillibus? She hasn't been here for a long time.
1:27 am

I usually see her Monday nights at bridge, last time I told her several players were asking about her
1:27 am

I do hope she is well.

Hi de hi campers
3:17 am
sprite

good morning all
3:18 am
sprite

ah man, a dead Q :(
3:19 am
grannyrose

*discreet burp* good morning my dearest sprite. {{hugs}}
3:20 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Hello darling, a good evening to you. How was your day?
3:21 am
grannyrose

got a lot of itty bitty stuff done. most important was buying the champers for christmas day. a local bottle shop had moet et chandin at half price. i felt i had to buy two...lol
3:22 am
sprite

lolllll nice darling
3:22 am
grannyrose

and i did my nails. they are a deep burgundy colour.
3:23 am
sprite

something I never learned to appreciate, champers. I'd much rather drink a good beer or even just a lovely fruit juice.
3:23 am
sprite

oh wow :) Such a nice feeling, having pretty nails
3:23 am
grannyrose

and we dropped off 3 bags of goodies for the 20 bags of food my church puts together and donates to a local school for families who are doing it tough.
3:24 am
sprite

good job
3:24 am
grannyrose

well this champers is not dry, and not too sweet. it is real french stuff and quite delightful.
3:25 am
sprite

yeah I know the brand. still not my cup of tea, grin.
3:25 am
sprite

phantom: maggots
3:26 am
grannyrose

what about with a cube of sugar with some angostura bitters dropped in it?
3:27 am
grannyrose

= champagne cocktail.
3:27 am
sprite

nope, still a no go, lol. I'll bring my beer and toast with that.
3:27 am
grannyrose

okay, don will prolly join you.
3:28 am
sprite

yay :D
3:28 am
grannyrose

the only way i can drink beer is with lemonade, and even then 75% lemonade. lolll
3:28 am
sprite

name that proper noun: when he speaks, all repeat
3:29 am
sprite

so we save the champers for you, and enjoy our beers :)
3:29 am
grannyrose

yup, and rob?? what will he drink?
3:30 am
sprite

beer, if his gout will let him.
3:30 am
grannyrose

oh, yeah, that wretched gout. tell him to dose up on colchicine...*giggle*
3:31 am
sprite

roflol
3:31 am
grannyrose

or get in a stock of strong pain meds....
3:32 am
sprite

gout is hard to manage with meds. Some days, regular meds will work just fine and he can even drink a beer. Other days, he gets a gout attack from walking past the beer in the grocery store.
3:33 am
grannyrose

poor man...so restricting for him. mind you with my hips i have a lot of empathy with the pain onsets.
3:36 am
sprite

yeah it is a bother. But not as bad as chronic pain and there are even worse things we could have. He is managing, drinks a lot of lemonade these days, and carbonated water with lemon. What is really frustrating, is that sometimes he still gets an attack, even with the daily meds and no alcohol and avoiding certain foods. When one is being so good, one wants to be rewarded for one's efforts.
3:37 am
grannyrose

yes i know, honey. it is heart-breaking when you are doing everything right and it still hurts.
3:38 am
sprite

yeah we both know how that feels. Ah well, we are still alive and kicking, right? That is what counts in the end.
3:39 am
sprite

hey your beloved is in the grid. And his plural is even valid.
3:41 am
sprite

lol, halfway and I have 2x6 and no 7s at all. Not asking for clues, just sharing the less-than-stellar performance. I am truly biggie-blind
3:41 am
grannyrose

so he is
3:41 am
mattygroves

I have nothing bigger than a 5 (but I've only just started)
3:41 am
sprite

hiya matty :) This grid sure looks like it cannot possibly have any biggies
3:42 am
sprite

name that proper noun: when he speaks, all repeat
3:42 am
grannyrose

honey, it is a really lovely grid. all of a sudden you are going to take off like greased lightning.
3:42 am
grannyrose

aha...Simon
3:43 am
mattygroves

It really does! Despite all the Ss, I can't seem to make long words with them
3:43 am
sprite

ding ding ding! Rose wins the toaster!
3:43 am
sprite

yeah there is -es but not -ses
3:44 am
grannyrose

*smug look* i'm the winner. i'm the winner.
3:44 am
sprite

so you are, darling. So you are. *hugs* for the winner!
3:44 am
grannyrose

but will the toaster do crumpets?? four of them at a time??
3:45 am
mattygroves

What in heaven's name could that lone G be in the second column?!
3:45 am
sprite

*quickly switches toasters* yes it will
3:45 am
sprite

must be a GN
3:45 am
grannyrose

it's a gn7, matty
3:45 am
mattygroves

Crikey!
3:45 am
grannyrose

oops....*sits on hands*
3:46 am
sprite

got it. Let me know if you want a clue, matty
3:46 am
sprite

and thanks rose, lollll
3:47 am
grannyrose

*mmpffff*
3:47 am
mattygroves

Given that I can only think of two words that begin GN, neither of which are in the puzzle, please do feel free to nudge me ;)
3:47 am
sprite

you are just a very generous soul, rose. You want to share.
3:48 am
grannyrose

sort of like Big Ears, Noddy's friend
3:48 am
sprite

gn7: like a garden 'dwarf'
3:48 am
grannyrose

ends with 2 letters sound which induces quiet.
3:48 am
mattygroves

OK, I forgot about that GN word (the only ones that sprung to mind were the animal and the religious word)
3:49 am
sprite

I tried gness ugh times. Until I remembered it is gneiss.
3:50 am
mattygroves

I kept trying to make gnostic. Which isn't even a little bit in the puzzle
3:50 am
grannyrose

and why should i be the only dill to try gness?
3:50 am
sprite

true, dat. You can count on me, rose.
3:50 am
grannyrose

*giggle*
3:51 am
sprite

I know the feeling, matty. I am so glad babble doesn't keep score of the invalid things I try!
3:51 am
grannyrose

matty, want more help??
3:53 am
mattygroves

Not yet, thanks! I've only been working on it for half an hour or so (if that)...but I still have no 6s!
3:53 am
sprite

past the 100 mark. Still only 2x6, and thanks to rose, 1x7
3:53 am
grannyrose

yay sprite
3:53 am

I have to stop trying enpa4. It is encompa4. Ugh.
3:58 am
zoozzoom

I have only just started here and only have 49 words lol
3:59 am
sprite

it is a fun grid, zooz. Rather restrictive and yet surprisingly generous once you twist your mind and eyes the right way.
4:00 am
zoozzoom

Okay I will gurn my face and see if that helps lol
4:00 am
sprite

it should. As long as you twist your mind along with it
4:01 am
zoozzoom

Oh great I have to have a twisted mind to play babble now!!
4:01 am
sprite

oh yes, you do. Shouldn't be a problem though, right zooz? *innocently blinks*
4:02 am
zoozzoom

LOL you cheeky little monkey!
4:02 am

*grins*
4:02 am
zoozzoom

4:03 am
grannyrose

whoot, go sprite, give him a run for his money.
4:03 am
zoozzoom

I think I have scared, rose, away :-(
4:03 am
grannyrose

ha!!
4:03 am
sprite

nah, she is leaning back and enjoying the show
4:03 am
zoozzoom

Oh nice and I was just starting to feel bad about our rose.!!
4:04 am
grannyrose

*ear to ear cheese*
4:04 am
sprite

note to self: 'hisself' is not only a phantom, it is not even a valid word. Stop trying it.
4:05 am
mattygroves

I keep trying German words. Senf - German for mustard, I think
4:05 am
sprite

yes, tried that too. You are right, it is mustard.
4:05 am
zoozzoom

Molly had a good word yesterday 'Unsin'
4:06 am
sprite

did she have a fun def to go with it, zooz? I'll add it if she did.
4:07 am
zoozzoom

Molly did, Sprite ..But I am sorry to say I have forgotten that part :-(
4:07 am
sprite

aw what a shame.
4:07 am
grannyrose

what time zooz? about? i'll check the chog
4:08 am
zoozzoom

I was typing away trying to get words looked up at the chat log had a smile at the unword and then got bak to the grid again.Sorry.
4:08 am
sprite

oh wait, I can easily find it, hold on
4:08 am
zoozzoom

Waiting...
4:09 am
sprite

Unsin...to take back the adulterous thought
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Yes that was it!!!
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Wow you are good, Sprite!
4:09 am
grannyrose

or what sprite said...lolll
4:10 am
sprite

I simply did Control F 'unsin' in the archived chatlog
4:11 am
zoozzoom

I never knew you could find a part of the chat log like that. i have learnt something new today!
4:11 am
grannyrose

i simply used the edit link, and typed in the word
4:11 am
sprite

works like a charm with unusual words like unsin.
4:12 am
sprite

also a good one, rose!
4:12 am
zoozzoom

I have spell checker on firefox switched on yet I still have to enter the i's in myself as a capital as it does not do it automatically how stupis is that!
4:12 am
sprite

very stupid
4:13 am
grannyrose

ugh another 50 minutes of torture....i think i need a stiff drink.
4:13 am
zoozzoom

Sorry for my typos :-(
4:14 am
sprite

don't worry, zooz, you are doing fine
4:14 am
zoozzoom

Torture?? what is going on your end, Rose?
4:14 am
sprite

poor rose :( Make Don bring you one!
4:15 am
grannyrose

zooz i have the TENS machine on over the nerve.
4:15 am
grannyrose

TENS = trans-dermal neuro-stimulator
4:16 am
sprite

TENS = Torture Every Nerve Senseless
4:16 am
grannyrose

i have to use it 2 hours twice/day. i am not supposed to walk around as the whole idea is to stun the nerve into acquiesence.
4:16 am
zoozzoom

Oh those bloody machines I hate them. My mother had a great laugh once as she was using one and she let me have a go to see if I would like it. It made me jump out of my skin with an elctrical shock. Horrible. I reckon she turned it up to full power on purpose lol
4:17 am
grannyrose

i love sprite definition.
4:17 am
sprite

:)
4:17 am
zoozzoom

LOL I like that, Sprite!
4:19 am
grannyrose

zooz, once i turned it up as i thought the battery was dieing. then found the pads had started to peel off. without thinking i pushed them back on and them got the whole whammy. i reckon i woke up the whole street...lolll
4:19 am
zoozzoom

LOL eew that sounds nasty..sorry for laughing :-)
4:21 am
sprite

fireflies. Loved this grid. Made me work hard for it.
4:21 am
grannyrose

as sensitive as the nerve is being, for the first hour it feels like needles going through my knee, then it settles to a rather annoying tickle with a hiccup of paihn at the end of each twinge.
4:22 am
grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!
4:22 am
mattygroves

Well done! I've still 64 left and still only have 2 x 6s and 1 x 7
4:22 am

Congrats, Sprite!
4:22 am
sprite

if you want stats or defs, matty, let us know
4:22 am
mattygroves

May I have stats for the 7s I don't have? I have (as you know), the gn7
4:23 am
zoozzoom

Hold on. have a great day, Sprite And night, Rose. Turning chat off.
4:23 am
grannyrose

xoxox zooz
4:23 am
mattygroves

Also, not so much clues, but if you could let me know which 7s are 'real words' that I"m likely to have heard of and which are weird...?
4:24 am
grannyrose

do7, a plural
4:24 am
sprite

do7/32 (combo with 6/21)
li7/32 (combo with 6/21)
ti7/28 (combo with 6/18)
4:24 am
sprite

the ti7 is pretty normal, you will have heard that one. The do7 is less normal, and the li7 is rather odd.
4:25 am
mattygroves

Thank you - looking now!
4:26 am
mattygroves

Found the ti7, though have to say, I'm not familiar with the word (will look it up) :)
4:26 am
sprite

*hugs* for you all. Rose, sleep well tonight, and dream even better. Matty and zooz, have a grand day.
4:26 am
mattygroves

Hah! Looked it up - love definition number 2: Obsolete. a ptisan.
4:26 am
sprite

ti7 = Poirot's drink of choice
4:27 am
mattygroves

Great - what the heck is a ptisan?! That's like 'recursive - see recursive'
4:27 am
sprite

lolllll that would be a grand babble word for sure
4:27 am
mattygroves

Found the DO now - LI here I come :)
4:27 am
sprite

it is a herbal infusion, like herbal tea
4:28 am
sprite

*poof*
4:28 am
mattygroves

Yeah, that was definition number 1...
4:28 am

xoxox sprite. enjoy what's left of your day.

I hate that closed-in feeling. Once, last January, during a deep freeze at -25C, I spent an hour with a rubber mallet and a screwdriver. I had to chisel ice away to get a window open :) was driving me nuts.

There are a lot of things about "connection through the internet" that have backfired.
4:41 pm
cosdem

Yeah. Easier to get a hold of the crazies
4:44 pm
MollyL

It is over exposure of the loonies. Both in the mass media and on social media.
4:46 pm
cosdem

and make elections 6 months. 2 months for primaries 4 months for generals. no campaigning before.
4:46 pm
cosdem

Media speculation leads to early campaigns.
4:46 pm
MollyL

I agree. If we could do that and knock out campaign funding from the rich and powerful, maybe someone decent would get elected.
4:47 pm
cosdem

Exactly.. esdy to help an independent and not one of the major parties
4:47 pm
cosdem

*easy

Sadly, most people are like wide mouth bass and they gobble up all the bait that is spewed on the internet and through other media.

I confess to finding it difficult to follow American politics. However I'm deeply suspicious of ALL politicians - regardless of party, creed or colour.
4:52 pm
cosdem

I really do wish I lived in the days of the campaigns of Kennedy, Roosevelt and Lincoln and deadlocked conventions
4:52 pm
MollyL

The sad thing is, most politicians can't be straight up people because they are indebted to the people funding them.
4:53 pm
MollyL

Cos, my parents fell for the Kennedy love. They were both in tears for days after he was killed.
4:53 pm
Soodle

Yep. Vicious circle.
4:54 pm
cosdem

My grandparents too. My grandma had a kennedy picture on her wall her entire life
4:54 pm
cosdem

I wish I could feel that way about a President...its sad.
4:55 pm
MollyL

I would love, just once in my life to go and vote for someone I really believed in. Sadly, I think those days have passed.
4:57 pm
cosdem

There are people like that I believe in greatly but have absolutely no chance to be elected. (No Bernie isnt one of these people)
4:58 pm
MollyL

I had this idea once for a story about how The Founding Fathers come back and haunt those in control of the government in present day. Speaking of that, how is your story going, Cos?
4:59 pm
cosdem

No where. But I have plans to work on it christmas vacation
5:05 pm
MollyL

Well that is good. Maybe some time away from it will give you some fresh ideas.
5:06 pm
cosdem

Its like I know the story but how to put it on paper
5:08 pm
cosdem

Maybe a timeline first
5:11 pm
MollyL

That might work. Different people write in different ways. Some need structure, like a time line, others have to let it pour forth like mental diarrhea.
5:12 pm
cosdem

timelines I can turn into chapters. Thats how I did it in college
5:14 pm
MollyL

However it works for you, remember the famous words of Billy Crystal in "Throw Mama From The Train"...
a writer writes.

You don't have a cousin Paddy!

I crack up every time at that scene. "You lied to me!" then bam in the face with a frying pan

Anne Ramsey was hysterical in that movie.
5:17 pm
cosdem

Wasn't she nominated for an oscar for that role?
5:17 pm
cosdem

Yep. Just checked.
5:20 pm
MollyL

I remember reading that Danny Devito (who directed that film) said that he was desperate to cast the role. He said people began recommending their own mothers. Then the light bulb went on and he cast Ramsey.
5:24 pm
cosdem

cant see snyone else in that role
6:22 pm
cosdem

woo wee its all over
