4:30 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, 3 of us were chatting about gambling and horse races and we were told that our chat was inane (given as a clue)

4:31 am

sprite

lol

4:31 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good day to my beautiful sprite. how was your yesterday and night?

4:31 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling ruby. {{hugs}} dear ivesy

4:31 am

rubyfoo

my feeling is, "nobody forces anyone else to read the chog". If it's boring, turn it off

4:32 am

rubyfoo

((rosie))

4:32 am

ivesy3

hello rose ,nice to see you..!

4:32 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Yesterday was good, very quiet and peaceful. Am still having bad dreams.

4:32 am

sprite

the people most critital of the chat are people who hardly every contribute to it anyway. Let them talk.

4:33 am

grannyrose

*giggle* nice to see you too, ivesy. i wish i could do something about those dreams. can you nap today?

4:33 am

grannyrose

sorry. second part of that was to sprite. *sigh*

4:34 am

sprite

yeah probably. And it is ok, am used to having nightmares. Probably a combination of the thing with my friend plus the noise of the fireworks. 'S okay, it will pass.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

There's no room for meanness in the chog

4:35 am

grannyrose

btw aunty rose did it again. you should have seen my little niece when she opened up her musical jewelry box with the dancing ballerina. and then she opened the tutu. and the long pink lace gloves. oh my. we were all in fits of laughter.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

xanax helps me with sleep issues, sprite

4:36 am

sprite

it is such a shame, if the chog turns nasty. No need for that, is there? we are all different, and that is what makes us interesting.

4:36 am

sprite

awwww how precious, rose

4:37 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute!

4:37 am

rubyfoo

attar

4:37 am

rubyfoo

aaah, did it again

4:37 am

sprite

I tend to get even worse dreams from calming meds, ruby. Usually it is best to let things run their course, for me.

4:37 am

sprite

attar of roses...

4:38 am

grannyrose

lolll. the tutu went straight on, over what she already had on. the dress jewels went around the neck, and on the ears. the gloves, of course had fingers too long. she danced and danced. it was so sweet.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

After years without nightmares, I've started having them about Burt!

4:38 am

sprite

priceless. You did well, auntie rose!

4:39 am

grannyrose

once don downloads the pics i will send them to you. oh, and the rag doll was hugged to tightly.

4:39 am

sprite

aw poor ruby :( It is frighteningly hard, isn't it, to have to let him go into other people's care.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

To be fair the babbler in question did say no offence intended. It was said for a clue.

4:39 am

sprite

that would be much appreciated, rose

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ladies and Happy New Year to you all :-)

4:40 am

sprite

hiya zooz! *hugs* And a ver4y happy new year to you and your family. Did you have a good year's end?

4:41 am

grannyrose

i'm not surprised you are dreaming of burt, ruby. he was a part of your life for some time. and now... you also have all those drugs on board. they too will affect the way your mind works.

4:41 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz)) true, but you can't unring a bell and I am very rarely offended, but tht rankled

4:41 am

sprite

ah, for a clue, no meanness is implied!

4:41 am

zoozzoom

It was manic, Sprite. But good fun thanks. hope yours was good? And how did the start of your work go?

4:41 am

rubyfoo

maybe, but it was otherwise a perfect day

4:41 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby))

4:41 am

grannyrose

{{zooz}} dear man. and a very Happy New Year to you also.

4:42 am

sprite

work went very well. I feel like a fish in the water. Our holidays were very peaceful, no kids and no frills, just me and my beloved.

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Rose you are a fun lady to have around I am sure. Sounds like you all had a good fun day!

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Good to hear, Sprite! The children were not home for Christmas?

4:44 am

Biltong

Hello and Happy New Year to you all!

4:44 am

sprite

don't let it rankle, ruby. If no offense is meant and it was given as a clue, best leave it at that. The rare occasion when people intend to be hurtful here is bad enough.

4:44 am

sprite

hiya biltong, and to you and yours!

4:44 am

zoozzoom

And to you too, Biltong :-)

4:44 am

grannyrose

thanx billtong, and back at you dear

4:45 am

rubyfoo

OK, then, I'll try to be unrankled

4:45 am

sprite

my daughter was home part of boxing day, zooz. the rest of the time they were both at friends or working.

4:45 am

Biltong

Thank you :)

4:45 am

sprite

*hugs ruby and helps her with the unrankling* There you go, dear. All straightened out.

4:45 am

rubyfoo

Happy New Year, biltong

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Oh Ruby you do make me smile with your comments in the chog. Unrankled lol

4:47 am

rubyfoo

4:47 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:48 am

rubyfoo

t

4:48 am

sprite

tough critics are overrated anyway :)

4:48 am

zoozzoom

And you did nice poems for Liz & Byz.

4:49 am

rubyfoo

For me, this is a very safe and warm place, often, much needed as life is tough enough

4:50 am

sprite

life is extremely challenging for you atm, ruby. I am glad our babble chog is one place where you can let your hair down

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Agreed.

4:52 am

rubyfoo

I finally got warm! It took 3 sweaters and a blanket and the fire!

4:52 am

zoozzoom

May i have a stat foran E on the right please?

4:52 am

5:28 am

zoozzoom

No I have not, Ruby. i will check it out on google.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

EN + to trap something or someone.

5:30 am

rubyfoo

ty zzoozz

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Welcome.

5:31 am

zoozzoom

I see it is a detective series set in Folkestone and Calais.

5:31 am

rubyfoo

207, nbt and nbs, but running out of steam

5:32 am

zoozzoom

225 and I am on the bottom E this is for my first run through.

5:32 am

rubyfoo

Yes, it has 6 parts and they do subtitles for the English here, but not for the French

5:32 am

rubyfoo

It is funny, I have started thinking in French, even though my skill is lacking

5:33 am

zoozzoom

I often wondered if people who move to a different speaking country to their own would at some point start to think and dream in that countries native tongue.

5:36 am

rubyfoo

I've had to be bi-lingual for a long time, given that I ad no choice, but this is a new level and I'm haaving to translate to English when my anglophone friends visit

5:37 am

rubyfoo

I think all the medical issues this past year pushed me to this new level

5:37 am

rubyfoo

but I still have an American accent which I can't fix

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Well you have been there a long time now so I suppose that is what happens. No bad thing though is it.

5:39 am

zoozzoom

I would loved to have learned different languages when i was young. I have tried a few years back but I just can not seem to get my head around it.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

I started Learning French at 11 and althogu it was only twice a week, I thin it developed neural synapses for la***

5:42 am

rubyfoo

Then I had two years in high school and two more at university, but re**** couldn't speak until I first visited France when I was 21 and had a little baby with me

5:42 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

5:43 am

zoozzoom

I do not hink I have enough neurons in my brain for that to happen, Ruby lol

5:43 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)

5:43 am

rubyfoo

((liw)) and here comes Liz, Her hair in frizz, Drinkibng sloe gin fizz and seeking Mr. Byz

5:44 am

Lizlin

lolol - thanks, Ruby. It was good to see Byz here - hadn't seen him for a while.

5:44 am

Lizlin

I love your poems :)

5:44 am

rubyfoo

it's too la** to learn another language as an adult, I think, unless you move to a place and have no choice

5:45 am

rubyfoo

but that oner was full of typos, sorry

5:45 am

Lizlin

I can read past the typos!

5:45 am

zoozzoom

Yes I agree. I just do not have it in me to learn it, But If i as forced to go to a place where they speak a different language then I would have no choice,

5:46 am

rubyfoo

I only write them for people I re**** like (or whose names easily suggest rhymes)

5:47 am

Lizlin

37 words left - need to finish tonight because I've got a busy morning - Skype to Canada and then going to see Suffragette.

5:47 am

Lizlin

They all make me smile, Ruby.

5:47 am

mattygroves

I only have 185 words and I still don't have the en7 that could 'trip you up' (according to Sprite) :)

5:47 am

Lizlin

Any clues for an 6/7 pls?

5:48 am

Lizlin

2 en 7s Matty. Which one?

5:48 am

zoozzoom

EN + like a symbol on a drum kit, Matty.

5:48 am

Lizlin

Sorry 3 not 2

5:48 am

mattygroves

The only one I have is the one that builds off the en4/4

5:49 am

rubyfoo

an7, ah at reindeer has

5:49 am

mattygroves

Got that en drum kit or trap one - thanks!

5:50 am

Lizlin

So like Zooz said or en + trap is another way, and en 5, 6, 7 and 9 all build from the en 5

5:50 am

rubyfoo

5:50 am

Anniebrook

5:50 am

Lizlin

Hi Annie

5:51 am

rubyfoo

((hello annie))

5:51 am

MollyL

The sn on a drum kit is actually a drum, not a cymbal. Just to avoid confusion.

5:51 am

Anniebrook

Hi (((ruby, liz and zooz))

Anniebrook

5:51 am

zoozzoom

Hi Annie, Hi Liz, Hi Zoom

5:52 am

mattygroves

I don't yet have any 9s. I am feeling very thick today - I've done loads of thick things today - I put three measuring jugs of water in the coffee maker instead of two thus overflowing it. I tripped over my own pajama bottoms (don't ask), I forgot to bring towels in to the bathroom when showering - it's just a clumsy day

5:52 am

Anniebrook

I was here and typed quinelas into the chat. Then I left covering my face.

5:52 am

MollyL

Annie was here for the horse racing chat. She put quinela in the chat : D

5:53 am

Lizlin

Have you got the en 5 meaning to go in?

5:53 am

rubyfoo

(what about invisible ruby?)

5:53 am

mattygroves

I do (now)....

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear, Matty. You need to start your day again lol

5:53 am

Lizlin

They all build from that - if you need help, I will.

5:54 am

mattygroves

OK, leave it with me for a bit - thanks!

5:57 am

sukee

Oh why are grids huge on days when I have other stuff to do?

5:57 am

sukee

Good morning all

5:57 am

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:57 am

Lizlin

Hi Sukee

5:57 am

rubyfoo

hello Sukee

5:58 am

sukee

Typing injured today, have a boo boo on one of my cuticles :) Did it cutting a sweet potato :)

5:59 am

Lizlin

Ouch!

5:59 am

sukee

It bled a lot, but now have a bandaid on it :)

5:59 am

Anniebrook

ouch, sukee

6:00 am

Lizlin

I hope the sweet potato is worth it. We tried to make a sweet potato and cashew dip today (usually we buy one) and it was a big failure. Tasted awful!

6:01 am

sukee

I cut it into fries and they were delicious. At least I have enough for a couple of meals now. Sweet potatoes are so hard to cut through.

6:01 am

Lizlin

Yes - pumpkins too.

6:01 am

sukee

And turnip.

6:01 am

rubyfoo

have you ever made sweet potato latkes? They are delish, especially with sour crem

6:01 am

sukee

ooh, that sounds good.

6:02 am

Lizlin

That sounds lovely - no I've only ever had latkes with regular potatoes.

6:02 am

rubyfoo

they made mashed turnips with the delivered lunch and they were awful, probably because I thought they were potatoes

6:03 am

zoozzoom

lol ((Ruby))

6:03 am

rubyfoo

sweet potatoes are better for you so I makes that dish less sinful

6:03 am

Lizlin

Bet you were disappointed,

6:04 am

MollyL

Turnips are gross, unless they are in stew and have absorbed other flavors.

6:04 am

rubyfoo

it's better than cake!

6:04 am

sukee

I only like them mashed and mixed with carrot.

6:04 am

rubyfoo

They're fine in couscous or pcikled with beets and onions

6:04 am

rubyfoo

and garlic

6:05 am

rubyfoo

5I used to cook....)

6:07 am

Lizlin

Quite a nice grid today - listed at 39 left and it's flowing well again.

6:10 am

zoozzoom

Okay 300 down 135 more to find tie for a hot beverage and time to refresh my eyes.

6:11 am

9:52 am

TheByzantine

Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour
when every one has to throw off his mask?
Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked?
Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight
in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it?
I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others
that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...
In every man there is something which to a certain degree
prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;
and this may be the case in so high a degree,
he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.
- Soren Kierkegaard

11:25 am

Judi

Oh, MLF. That is just... depressing.

11:26 am

MollyL

Now see, there goes someone mentioning MC Hammer again. He is unknown here in Babbleland to most people.

11:28 am

Judi

Yep. Sperry Topsiders. Rad!

11:29 am

MollyL

I had to laugh at all those people who had never been on a boat in their lives walking around in boat shoes.

11:30 am

MLFAN17

ohh that's right judi but i loved the izod because they had such wonderful colors

11:33 am

My son's friend still wears the Izod shirts. He has this whole 80's preppy look thing :-)

So true, Mimi. Adele needs to leave the beehives to Lady Ga Ga.

11:46 am

MLFAN17

i think its kind of a British thing mimi?

11:47 am

MollyL

I have yet to see any woman who looks good in a beehive

11:47 am

MLFAN17

judi she shouldn't wear them either but it look good on her

11:47 am

MLFAN17

you have to have the right outfit

11:47 am

zoozzoom

Maybe in the sixties ans seventies, Mlf. But not now.

11:47 am

MLFAN17

and not the layered look of the 80s lol

11:48 am

MLFAN17

zooz very stylish in the 50s and 60s true

11:48 am

MimiCat

Yeah, ML---one with a hood.

11:48 am

MLFAN17

that would work

11:48 am

MLFAN17

almost game time.....

11:49 am

MollyL

I wish layered hairstyles would make a comeback. It sure beats the thin, no body, string straight styles being worn today.

11:49 am

Judi

The beehive has been around since Marie Antoinette. Although it was a wig. She was once known to incorporate a small bird in a cage into the front of her beehive.

11:49 am

MLFAN17

true judi

11:51 am

rururocks

well.. I wouldn't lose my head over a beehive

11:51 am

Judi

Apparently, royalty thought it was fashionable to be shat upon by a tiny bird.

11:51 am

MLFAN17

don't some birds bring good luck or something?

11:52 am

Judi

Who knows what Marie was thinking.

11:52 am

MLFAN17

judi i think it had to do with being royal or just a look fo some kind

11:53 am

rururocks

I'm sure life was a cake-walk for her :D

11:53 am

MollyL

There is no accounting for the "fashion" choices of royalty (fascinators)

Break time -- going to go eat an avocado. I like to cut them in half, sprinkle with garlic salt and pour a balsamic/honey dressing in the pit area and eat with a spoon...yum.

12:01 pm

rururocks

that sounds fattening mimi

12:03 pm

zoozzoom

I love avocado with crispy bacon bits Yum!

12:03 pm

MimiCat

Nah---avocado is good fat. Not putting the avocado on a sandwich helps as well. Often one avocado is all I eat in a whole day anyhow.

12:03 pm

rururocks

wow really?

12:03 pm

12:07 pm

MimiCat

If I feel like eating, I do. I let my body tell me. Most of us eat too much anyway. Sometimes I have an avocado and later a bowl of soup or some kind of steamed veggie.

12:07 pm

zoozzoom

I agree, Mimi. I only eat when I feel the need. I do not have set times to eat either.
