good morning all

12:54 am

sprite

barista as a common word is older than 'internet'... too new for enable, lol

12:58 am

sprite

older = less old. Ugh. Need coffee.

1:04 am

jwr

just saw a funny question up online: What does barista mean in English?

1:05 am

sprite

:D and the answer? Arrogant unsmiling coffee virtuoso?

1:06 am

jwr

ha. hi Sprite

1:06 am

sprite

hiya jwr! Good to see you. How have you been?

1:07 am

jwr

I shouldn't be such a smartass. I don't drink coffee or alcohol so I didn't learn what it meant right away, either.

1:07 am

sprite

for me, stupidity is not defined by what people do not know, but what they are not interested in learning ;)

1:08 am

jwr

Good same. Been in "temporary relocation" while the whole complex I lived in (400+ people, 85% elderliy Chinese!) was demolished and a new "modern" complex constructed. ten months.

1:09 am

jwr

Uh oh. I'm not interested in a lot of things. Just Babble and food and film festivals.

1:09 am

sprite

omg jwr. That sounds like an ordeal. Especially for the elderly people. Are you in the new one now? And was it worth it?

1:09 am

melonheadjujube

hi, all

1:10 am

jwr

Don't go "home" until Oct 24, looking forward madly.

1:10 am

sprite

it is pretty smart, not to be interested in everything, grin. You got your priorities right!

1:10 am

sprite

hiya melon!

1:10 am

jwr

hi mel

1:10 am

sprite

at least you can count down now.

1:10 am

jwr

to what>

1:10 am

jwr

?

1:11 am

jwr

?

1:11 am

sprite

to Oct 24

1:11 am

jwr

sorry. That was only a normal question, not a super special one'

1:12 am

sprite

*giggles* Your impatience to be in the new home is shining through, is all

1:12 am

jwr

Oh, of course. I've been doing that all along. Midtown, brand new hi rise, everything wrong with it, no neighborhood as such

1:12 am

jwr

I Glow!

1:12 am

jwr

Actually, I'm homesick for Chinatown

1:13 am

sprite

definitely not fun. Will send up a prayer that you will move in on the planned date and that all will go smoothly.

1:14 am

jwr

So what are your main interests? Besides blood family and Babble family that you take care of.'

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

hi, sprite. I dove into the grid.

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

nbt was easy

1:15 am

jwr

I mean, you have soooo much time on your hands, sprite

1:15 am

jwr

Mel, really!

1:19 am

sprite

lol jwr :D
Welllll... at the moment, training to become a professional nail artist. Going through each and every thing in our home and throwing out about 80%, preparing for selling the house and starting our project of going to live much much simpler. Tiny House stuff. Finding a place where we can live and build. Volunteer work at an emergency/crisis telephone helpline. Working a 12 step program to manage my eating disorder. That covers most of it, I think, lol

1:19 am

sprite

wtg melon! I still have some tiles showing zero.

1:19 am

jwr

I had explained Babble to a teenager of a friend - She was interested in words and traveling and such. She thought for a while, then came back at me with: But I'd rather play something I can compete in. If you're playing around the world, someone in Hawaii or Japan would start hours ahead of you. .... I fear for the future of our youth!

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

OK, I did need lickety for two words, but otherwise was quick. Even got a 7 off the bat.

1:20 am

sprite

competing is one way to improve yourself, I guess. Cooperation is another, but not as popular.

1:21 am

sprite

yay melon!!!!

1:21 am

jwr

I should ask!! No wonder you understood about my working on the crisis lines! Throwing out 80%? - and the rest of the family doesn't come around and wail -- Oh No, You CAN'T throw THAT out.

1:22 am

melonheadjujube

should I know the ur8?

1:22 am

jwr

And you are asking who?

1:23 am

melonheadjujube

whom, but OK. sprite, but anyone, really.

1:23 am

jwr

I knew that.

1:23 am

sprite

the rest of the family is our two kids... one at the other end of our country, studying her ass off. The other in Scotland since a week, just starting his study there. They can complain, but will be too late to stop us, lol

1:23 am

jwr

Long ago.

1:24 am

sprite

I do not have it yet, melon, sorry

1:25 am

jwr

Ah, sprite. That's the answer. (and no, melon, I don't have it either. I thought I did, but Enable didn't agree)

1:25 am

sprite

enable can be a handful

1:27 am

jwr

Tell me about it! Scotland sounds wonderful. Always wanted to visit there, but I wound up spending a couple of decades nesting in different places in Asia.

1:27 am

jwr

melon, when you get it, could you clue, please.

1:29 am

melonheadjujube

if I don't hit the hay first, of course!

1:29 am

sprite

also very interesting, Asia. We moved our son to Scotland, car on boat and driving the last stretch. We got to see a bit of Scotland and it IS beautiful. Amazingly so. We are gonna spend a holiday there for sure, while Tim is there.

1:29 am

jwr

I have friends who are setting up housekeeping, so to speak, in homes-away-from-homes in both Amsterdam and Berlin. And one in Turkey who has a boyfriend and won't leave even though it's getting dangerous.

1:30 am

sprite

that is a bit scary, yeah

1:31 am

jwr

Having kids away in school is a great excuse for traveling. What I found out, though, is that it doesn't work that way for kids away on the first jobs. You have to wait until they need babysitters.

1:31 am

jwr

thanks mel.

1:32 am

jwr

Just in case you forget whom is asking.

1:33 am

melonheadjujube

(;

1:33 am

melonheadjujube

that would be who, but, OK

1:33 am

sprite

lolol

1:33 am

sprite

*whom are askinged

1:33 am

melonheadjujube

I think. . .
I mean, who + verb, yes?

1:33 am

melonheadjujube

lol sprite!

1:34 am

jwr

love it. Gotta go. Lovely talking to both of you. Be back later and look for that U. {{always leave 'em laughing} poof

1:34 am

melonheadjujube

byee! It was fun!

1:35 am

broll

ur 8 is the oil in poison ivy that makes you itch - funny, I got it because it was a clue in a mystery on tv the other night

1:35 am

sprite

bye jwr, lovely as ever. Have a good one.

1:35 am

sprite

hi broll, thanks!

1:35 am

melonheadjujube

got it! Thanks!

1:36 am

broll

hi, and you are very welcome!

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

and jwr just left :(

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

I kept looking for somthing ending in "ious"

1:37 am

melonheadjujube

awful lot of words endind in "st" and "sts"

1:37 am

broll

That's me, a minute late and a clue short. Gotta get out of chat before I wind up in the pb.

1:37 am

melonheadjujube

ending

1:39 am

sprite

thanks broll, just in time for me, a new word for me.

1:39 am

melonheadjujube

OK, I found 11 "st(s)" combos

1:40 am

melonheadjujube

I actually knew that word.

1:40 am

melonheadjujube

my phantom is "usurious"

1:40 am

sprite

the odd words that populate our brains, lol!

1:40 am

sprite

oh good one

1:46 am

melonheadjujube

halfway. Only one 7. I have to hit the hay. Need to wrangle with Social Security re: my son tomorrow, then see my doc. The SoSec nonsense is nothing unusual. I spend at least four hours a month reading mail written in the worst bureaucratese. What slays me is getting some 15-page missive that ends with a a "Paperwork ReductionAct" notice. Really?

1:49 am

sprite

oh that sucks, melon. So frustrating! Good luck.

1:50 am

sprite

my phantom is simpler. It is lotus. Bugs me no end though.

1:50 am

melonheadjujube

Thanks and good night/day. {poof}

1:50 am

melonheadjujube

lotus is pretty. {re-poof}

2:28 am

zoozzoom

My phantom is : DU 7 containers you put your rubbish in.

2:29 am

zoozzoom

Okay first run through and I have exactly 70 words left to find. This grid seem to be a hard one for me.

2:29 am

zoozzoom

Will come back later to see if I can find any more words. Happy babbling everyone!

2:33 am

sprite

sorry zooz, missed you. Got a phone call.

2:35 am

sprite

am not finding this an easy grid either. Even though it lets you find series, so that is not the rub.

2:35 am

grannyrose

{{{{sprite}}}} tired tonight. been a busy day. stuff i had to sort out for medical purposes.

2:36 am

grannyrose

i think the three u's throw us.

2:36 am

sprite

Roseeeeeee! *hugs* my darling friend. So good to see you. Not fun, sorting out stuff. Did you finish it?

2:37 am

grannyrose

yes i did.. thank heavens. i have to do a 24 hour urine collection. found an interesting shaped funnel which should do the trick.

2:38 am

grannyrose

how is my bestie? did you have a restful night? or did the pain keep you awake?

2:38 am

sprite

roflol. Oh dear, poor you. But yay for finishing the stuff, now you can let go and relax. Luvsya so much, honey. You are my hero.

2:39 am

sprite

not sure if I told you I will be away for the weekend. OA retreat in Germany, like last year.

2:39 am

grannyrose

oh okay. hope it helps you as much as last year. are you able to hitch a ride?

2:41 am

sprite

even better than last year, yes. I can hitch a ride with the same people from hilversum. And I can hitch a ride from close to here with another fellow. If all goes as planned (my planning, that is), Rob will drive me to the pickup spot even. But even if he cannot, it is not such a drama by train either.

2:42 am

grannyrose

good one sprite.

2:42 am

sprite

remember there was a train strike when I came back last year? LOL it was a disaster, in the end Rob had to pick me up somewhere. Should be better this year.

2:44 am

grannyrose

i remember. in the middle of nowhere wasn't it? and he was unwell also.

2:45 am

sprite

exactly. Still, it was worth it, it is amazing how much support and inspiration can be found in such a retreat. Am gonna go to the dutch one too this year.

2:45 am

grannyrose

wow!! that is wonderful !

2:46 am

sprite

*sends gentle calming vibes to rose's tired body* I kind of pick up on your muscles cramping and being jittery. Or is that just my imagination?

2:46 am

grannyrose

nope. you are right on the mark.

2:47 am

sprite

hm, that is more than just being tired, sweetie. Can you do a very relaxed day tomorrow?

2:48 am

sprite

and did you take extra magnesium yet?

2:48 am

grannyrose

i wish. it is gym day. i will go but take a step back, and try to do a reduced program.

2:49 am

grannyrose

yup, floating in magnesium.

2:50 am

sprite

which you should do anyway, seeing how you haven't been able to go for a while. Good girl ;)
Wish I could be there and help you a little. Give you some reiki too, and a gentle massage maybe. For now, virtual hugs must do.

2:50 am

grannyrose

virtual hugs are good... mmmm.... spritey hugs.

2:51 am

sprite

can't beat a spritey hug, unless you are rose. Then you have rosey hugs and they are just as good.

2:51 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

2:54 am

sprite

lolllll I found the fish. Oh I wish that thing was still active, today it is a mindtwister.

2:56 am

grannyrose

i have finished but didn't know one of the words is a fish. which one was it?

2:56 am

sprite

su5/14

2:57 am

grannyrose

ahhh, yes, of course it.

2:57 am

sprite

we used to say 'there is a fish in every grid' and we would mention finding it in chat. Same could be done with coins, I think.

2:58 am

sprite

and harpjane usually amuses herself (and us) by listing the animals she finds.

2:59 am

grannyrose

yes she does.

3:00 am

sprite

I like stuff like that. Sort of in-crowd jokes.

3:06 am

grannyrose

my fave show is on. Grand Designs. i really like to see how builders solve problems.

3:07 am

sprite

I like that too. We are looking at the other side of things right now. Tiny designs. Space savers. Smart solutions to make every cubic inch work for you.

3:07 am

grannyrose

oh, and don has bought me the cutest shoehorn to help me put the flippers on when at hydro. it is bright orange, with duck feet, and a smiley face stamped out on the other end.

3:08 am

sprite

omg.... oh that is hilarious. Gotta love that man :D

3:08 am

grannyrose

yeah, i do... love him i mean...

3:08 am

sprite

:D

3:09 am

sprite

am gonna make the chicory casserole today. Did you try it yet?

3:10 am

sprite

fireflies. Last word was the most common one in the whole grid, ughhhh. Th4 word.

3:10 am

grannyrose

no sweetie. we are still using lite',n' easy meals.

3:11 am

grannyrose

oh the old 'you' word? WTG SPRITE !!!

3:11 am

sprite

nope. The pointing word. Not that but th4.

3:11 am

grannyrose

ugh, don't you just hate it when you supposedly miss the obvious.

3:12 am

sprite

yeah, facepalm with fish smack, lol.

3:13 am

grannyrose

i have found that sometimes words i KNOW i have put in, don't 'take'.

3:13 am

sprite

sweetie, I am off for now. *hugs* and lots and lots of love. Try to take it easy, before and after hydro. Hope to see you tomorrow.

3:13 am

sprite

yeah, happens to me too. Usually that is because I typoed them without knowing it.

3:13 am

grannyrose

will do honey. love you. xoxox

3:14 am

sprite

Alleyn58

6:39 am

lil*monkey

Alleyn, layers of meat sauce, froz cheese ravioli, and cheese in Crock Pot. It's 3 layers. Then Crock for approx. 3 hours. I was going to add spinach.

6:40 am

lil*monkey

The cheese layer is ricotta & herbs mixed together, I was going to add spinach to that.

6:41 am

bichon

no mozzarella?

6:41 am

lil*monkey

Yes probably. Im going from memory here... I think there is a layer of mozz on the very top, and it is mixed in with the ricotta layer.

6:42 am

lil*monkey

Also, the froz cheese ravioli is filled with mozz.

6:42 am

bichon

sounds yummy

6:42 am

lil*monkey

I can't wait to try! My friend posted pics and it looked divine, really cheesy and gooey.

6:43 am

bichon

I'll make it when Mr. Bich gets home from Italy

6:44 am

lil*monkey

I'll make it when Hurricane Florence is out of the picture. Right now there's no guarantee I'll have power after tomorrow.

6:45 am

Uneaixoise

Stay safe, monkey!

6:46 am

lil*monkey

Thank you Une :) The latest news looks like Flo is going to make landfall farther south than orig predicted, so I'm hoping I won't have too much flooding.

6:52 am

Alleyn58

Thank you but not sure we can get frozen pasta!!

6:53 am

bichon

ravioli is commonly sold here

6:53 am

Thanks. That's a tongue twister.

Geesh. Even the four-letter words are wonky.

9:36 am

crosshair

9:37 am

Judi

Crossy!

9:37 am

crosshair

JHowdy, Judy. :)

9:37 am

crosshair

oops. I cannot type today.

9:38 am

Judi

Hardly ever see you here. Goofing off?

9:39 am

jaxx7

Hi, Crossy. Where have you been hiding?

9:39 am

flosey

Good Mornking Crossy

9:39 am

crosshair

Been a busy life of late. A new puppy is also keeping us busy. :)

9:39 am

crosshair

Howdy, Flosey. :)

9:40 am

Judi

Puppies are much like babies. Need constant attention and supervision.

9:41 am

crosshair

Also gearing up for some time off work as the Mrs. and i get away and celebrate our 25th on Oct. 1st. :)

9:41 am

jaxx7

and like me then.lol

9:41 am

crosshair

They are indeed like babies, babies who are born teething with a mouth full of razor sharp baby teeth!

9:42 am

Judi

Congrats on your impending anniversary. 25 is the Silver anniversary. Where are you getting away to?

9:43 am

angels04

Hello everyone. I know you

9:43 am

angels04

Hello everyone. I know you

9:43 am

jaxx7

We are having trouble here with grown dogs. We have an idiot who refuses to muzzle his dogs or keep them on the leash.

9:44 am

crosshair

We are going to an all-inclusive lodge up in the Kawartha lake region. We will be wined and dined and our little cottage has a BBQ, a outdoor Jacuzzi for two, and the entire place is pet friendly so we can bring the puppy along.

9:45 am

Judi

Oh, that sounds lovely, Crossy.

9:45 am

flosey

sounds great Crossy, enjoy

9:45 am

angels04

Hello everyone. I just want send prayers for anyone in the path of this hurricane. I am in C

9:46 am

Judi

Do you have a county or town code enforcement officer or animal control officer you can sic on him, Jaxx?

9:46 am

angels04

Hello Everyone

9:46 am

crosshair

Yup, canoes are there for using, as are hiking trails in the bush, and it is quite isolated for some real R&R

9:46 am

crosshair

Howdy, angels04

9:46 am

jaxx7

The two of them have caused damage to local dogs of over £1000 vet fees and the police refuse to do anything because it is dog on dog. One lady has moved after she was pulled over when one of the dogs attacked her little jack Russell terrier. It took her months to recover. if you complain he produces the race card.

9:46 am

angels04

Hello Everyone. Sending prayers to anyone

9:47 am

Judi

Just don't get attacked by a bear or anything. That would put a damper on the whole trip.

9:47 am

crosshair

We have leash laws that must be followed here.

9:48 am

Judi

No leash laws there, Jaxx?

9:48 am

jaxx7

We are supposed to have here.

9:48 am

crosshair

Here, we mostly get black bears, and they are easy to deal with if you follow some simple procedures

9:48 am

jaxx7

like running away?

9:48 am

crosshair

NEVER run!

9:49 am

crosshair

You run, you look like prey

9:49 am

Judi

Again, codes officer, Jaxx. Complain and keep complaining. He sounds like a royal arse who deserves to be held responsible.

9:49 am

jaxx7

you can tell we don't have black bears in Sleepy Devon, only mad dogs and even madder owners

9:50 am

crosshair

You get in their face, you get loud and agressive. We also carry a loud whistle as part of our hiking kits

9:50 am

angels04

Hello everyone. Sending lots of prayers for anyone in the path of this hurricane

9:50 am

crosshair

I am sorry you are having such grief because of these dogs, jaxx ;(

9:51 am

angels04

Sorry for repeats. Not so good on this chat stuff :)

9:51 am

Judi

Thanks, Angel. Not in the path, but have family in Wilmington NC and Richmond VA. We'll just get rain and a little wind here in DE.

9:52 am

crosshair

it is O.K there are lots of different conversation going on atm. Sometimes it can be difficult to keep track. :0

9:52 am

Judi

Recommend jaxx carries pepper spray to fend off the hounds.

9:52 am

BzznBea

Judi, have your Wilmington family evacuated?

9:52 am

jaxx7

Thanks, Crossy. the owner is to blame as they should be muzzled and on a leash as he knows they are dangerous to other dogs and people, if it comes to that.

9:53 am

Judi

They have decided to stay, Bea. I am not happy to hear this, but they are inland a ways. However, they have lots of mature trees on their property. Hope the wind doesn't topple them onto their house.

9:53 am

jaxx7

Well, it is a chatterbox and we are chattering.

9:53 am

crosshair

I would just protect my animal, and if that guys dogs bit me in the process, i would go after him for all I could get in court.

9:53 am

Judi

Right now the chat is far more interesting than the grid.

9:54 am

BzznBea

Last I heard they could get up to 30" of rain in that area.

9:54 am

angels04

I do read stuff but mostly a lurked lot

9:54 am

jaxx7

The problem here is we have so few police that unless you are a terrorist they don't want to know.

9:56 am

BzznBea
