Good morning, Carla.

7:25 am

BzznBea

Prize is a leftover turkey sandwich.

7:25 am

hokie carla

still good

7:26 am

BzznBea

Slow going this morning...

7:27 am

hokie carla

yeah, when I can't even get half of the first tile...

7:27 am

aslindy

morning all

7:27 am

hokie carla

lindy!

7:27 am

BzznBea

Good morning, lindy.

7:27 am

aslindy

carla!

7:28 am

aslindy

hi bea! not so good, actually. our furnace isn't working!

7:29 am

hokie carla

well I finished the top H at least.

7:29 am

hokie carla

oh no!

7:29 am

aslindy

it's 36 degrees outside. probably below 60 in the house by now

7:30 am

aslindy

I might have to do some baking, or *gasp* wash dishes by hand to stay warm!

7:30 am

BzznBea

Yikes! I'm sorry lindy.

7:30 am

hokie carla

no space heaters around?

7:31 am

aslindy

mr lindy is trying to fix it, but not sure what's wrong yet

7:31 am

hokie carla

maybe you should just crawl back in bed :D

7:31 am

aslindy

yes, that would be warm, carla.

7:32 am

MollyL

Yes Bea, and a ten gallon hat and a 40 ounce ribeye steak for the lady

7:33 am

BzznBea

We lived in our house an entire winter with only space heaters.

7:33 am

aslindy

we have 1 or maybe 2 space heaters. small, though.

7:34 am

hokie carla

I think my brother's heat pump died like 3 years ago.

7:34 am

BzznBea

Of course its not as cold here as it is there.

7:34 am

MollyL

I thought space heaters and cats didn't mix

7:35 am

BzznBea

Does he use space heaters, Carla?

7:36 am

BzznBea

We didn't have any cats then.

7:36 am

BzznBea

Do I look different today?

7:36 am

hokie carla

I assume so. my other brother had gotten my dad a nice one for Xmas or birthday and my dad sent it to their house. I assume he still has that one plus some others. He also has a ton of cats.

7:37 am

hokie carla

I think they got a couple of window ACs for the the summer. he did say he was going to get it replaced this winter but we'll see.

7:37 am

MollyL

I would be afraid that cats would knock over the space heaters and that is a fire hazard.

7:38 am

hokie carla

he also has 2 or 3 dogs (yeah I said it) inside

7:42 am

hokie carla

is it just me, or are the i's a PITA today?

7:43 am

aslindy

it's not you

7:43 am

hokie carla

out of 11 total, I've been able to find 3

7:44 am

aslindy

I have 1

7:44 am

aslindy

no, 2

7:44 am

BzznBea

I've got the the first I grey. Haven't looked at the others.

7:44 am

hokie carla

must be some really weird ones

7:45 am

hokie carla

I also did not get half of the A, bea

7:47 am

BzznBea

7:47 am

7:49 am

hokie carla

welki!

7:49 am

welki

always fun, and a little bit of a challenge, getting a new laptop - congrats, bea!

7:49 am

welki

hokie!

7:50 am

BzznBea

I do not like change. Change sends me over the edge. I'm trying to be grateful, but I hate change. =)

7:50 am

welki

we're at the lake now, and i'm on 8 or 9 year old macbook

7:51 am

welki

the first one i have is about 15 years old and it still works (but the battery's crapped out, has to be plugged in)

7:51 am

hokie carla

my mom complains about her desktop and I talked to my oldest bro about getting her a chromebook or something she can use in the living room, but we're not sure she will like that change.

7:51 am

welki

what did you get, bea?

7:51 am

hokie carla

welki, I'm on an 8 year old macbook right now. battery ain't what she used to be, but I can be unplugged for a little while with it.

7:52 am

welki

this macbook- just checked, 2012 - will operate on battery just fine. i have a macbook air back in town - not bad - 3 laptops over 15 years

7:53 am

BzznBea

I got a

7:53 am

hokie carla

I went through 3 windows laptops in like 2 years before switching to mac, and this one has last forever.

7:54 am

welki

(and they all still work - my husband (should i call him mr. welki LOL) has probably gone through more than double the amount of windows laptops in that same time

7:54 am

Dell product. Don't aske me...'

7:55 am

aslindy

dells are usually pretty good

7:55 am

welki

dell makes good machines, bea - enjoy it, you'll love how fast it is

7:55 am

BzznBea

I'm used to a track point and not a pad. Having a hard time learning that.

7:56 am

hokie carla

yeah, we've had some Dells around here

7:56 am

aslindy

I'm not a fan of touch pads. I prefer mouse.

7:58 am

welki

me too, lindy, will grudgingly use the touch pad. for me, it's an 'old dog-new trick' thing. i doubt my grandchildren have ever used a mosue

7:58 am

welki

or a mouse

7:58 am

hokie carla

I use a mouse at my desk, but have gotten used to the trackpad fine.

8:00 am

welki

that's like being ambidextrous, hokie - very talented :)

8:00 am

hokie carla

ha!

8:01 am

welki

bea, maybe use a mouse until you get more used to the pad?

8:01 am

aslindy

I mouse right handed at my desktop, but left handed on my laptop.

8:01 am

aslindy

oh no, I hear mr lindy on the phone with the furnace company

8:01 am

hokie carla

now that's talen

8:01 am

hokie carla

talent

8:01 am

welki

ohh, lindy!! sorry, hokie, but you've been usurped

8:02 am

hokie carla

agreed

8:02 am

aslindy

due to right shoulder injuries, I've had to learn to do most things left handed over the years. toughest was brushing teeth.

8:03 am

welki

(and you're right. those i's are a pain)

8:03 am

bichon

I have a tremor in my right hand. Have to learn to write with my left hand {{

8:04 am

hokie carla

my oldest kid is pretty ambidextrous but I can't do anything lefty. I did have surgery on my right shoulder but don't remember what specific things gave me trouble. just everything.

8:08 am

hokie carla

wow, almost missed the legit spelling of the cat sound

8:10 am

MollyL

Blurting!

If you're a horrible offspring, I'll di6/33 you - cut you off from my will

8:26 am

bichon

got it, ty

8:26 am

welki

yes, it's from the east, nan

8:26 am

hokie carla

well nan, I think of it as native american instead of canadian, if that helps you.

8:27 am

welki

mmmm...the cadboro monster, must have chocolate

8:27 am

cybernan

lived in PQ and ON for a total of 10+ years, but don't think I've heard of it

8:27 am

hokie carla

you don't watch or read enough sci-fi

8:27 am

cybernan

nope -- like ogopogo he's another nessie

8:27 am

cybernan

don't watch or read any of it

8:27 am

welki

<-- was making a joke

8:27 am

hokie carla

I have heard of that

8:28 am

mattygroves

Breeze + me + present tense of went.

8:28 am

hokie carla

I didn't even see your joke because it wasn't there and now it is

8:28 am

cybernan

ty matty -- a new one for me

8:29 am

MollyL

It is the way people commonly mispronounce the character from Princess Bride (as if that will help Nan)

8:29 am

hokie carla

we've had it spelled we in the grid not too long ago

8:29 am

mattygroves

Dammit - I needed the list to find the hairy nosed dolphin. Slap me with a herring.

8:29 am

hokie carla

like blue/violet, molly? really? people do that?

8:30 am

MollyL

I won't slap you Matty because inia isn't in the grid

8:31 am

cybernan

could be carla -- if there are too many weird words I don't bother finishing the grid and I certainly don't bother looking up all the defs

8:31 am

mattygroves

Ah, wrong word - certainly

8:31 am

aslindy

a clue for to5,16 please?

8:31 am

MollyL

I don't bother finishing most grids, but I do look up definitions of words I don't know. It helps me learn them.

8:32 am

hokie carla

it's a hat, lindy.

8:32 am

mattygroves

It uses the high point tile, Lindy

8:32 am

MollyL

Canadian hat

8:32 am

mattygroves

One that a wi7 might wear? ;)

8:32 am

aslindy

oh,of course. thanks!

8:33 am

hokie carla

I can never rem. which is canadian, the to5 or the tu5, but I think the tu5 is what canadians call what we mountain folk call a toboggan.

8:33 am

cybernan

a knitted cap

8:33 am

aslindy

so used to skipping over that tile

8:33 am

hokie carla

I guess it's the to5 then

8:33 am

cybernan

to 5 for the hat

8:33 am

MollyL

Was that enough clues?

8:34 am

aslindy

lol molly - perfect!

8:34 am

hokie carla

just looked up tu5 and it says "heavy stocking cap worn in Canada", so ha! canadians.

8:34 am

MollyL

tu is also a spelling for the hat

8:35 am

hokie carla

to5 says a chef's hat

8:35 am

cybernan

not here it isn't, Molly

8:35 am

godthaab

Similar to the French Canadian Goose call - ho5

8:35 am

hokie carla

maybe regional because the canadians I know here (I used to play soccer with a couple) call it a tu5.

8:35 am

penquis

it's both....another spelling of tuque...

8:36 am

MollyL

We here in these united states just call them knit hats

8:36 am

cybernan

as I said, Pen --- had never seen it spelled that way before playing this game --- must be a USA spelling, not
Canadian

8:36 am

hokie carla

nope

8:36 am

hokie carla

all kinds of names here in US

8:36 am

penquis

French Canadians called them tuques...

8:37 am

mattygroves

Will I have heard of the dw7?

8:37 am

hokie carla

as I mentioned, hillbillies (and possibly southerners) call them toboggans

8:38 am

BzznBea

d+reisling

8:38 am

mattygroves

Yep, that's the 5 - I have that one

8:38 am

mattygroves

Aaaaah - I'd missed the suffix. Thanks!

8:38 am

BzznBea

Sorry, add the gerund

8:38 am

hokie carla

gerund it, matty. never heard of either. so now I will look them up.

8:39 am

hokie carla

oh, no definition, you say

8:39 am

mattygroves

I've faded away (the state or action of waning or failing)

8:40 am

MollyL

Another non-English word, courtesy of Enable

8:40 am

hokie carla

weird

8:40 am

mattygroves

Scottish, apparently

8:40 am

hokie carla

who'da thunk it

8:40 am

cybernan

tuque could br a fench spelling, pen - but then French Canadians will pull into a service station and say "Changez les tires" and think they are speaking French, so who knows

8:40 am

MollyL

Those Enable word nerds have an affection for Scot words

8:41 am

MollyL

Nan, look it up. Tuque is another spelling of the hat.

8:41 am

BzznBea

I always try goya...

8:41 am

penquis

nan, if you look up the definition of tuque, it says a heaving knitted hat worn in Canada... ;o)

8:41 am

hokie carla

well, the canadians I know are not french canadian and use tuque. they also admit to poutine being a canadian thing which nan denies.

8:42 am

MollyL

Everyone I know, including the Canadian I was married to, says poutine is Canadian.

8:42 am

hokie carla

I think nan just hides away in her little part of BC and doesn't notice anything else in the rest of the country.

8:43 am

MollyL

Or the world.

8:43 am

cybernan

I have never said that poutine isn't canadian -- I said it is a French Canaian thing --- contrary to what a lot of easterners think, Canada does not end at the Ontario-Manitoba border

8:43 am

MollyL

With the exception of American politics
: D

8:43 am

BzznBea

But she does pay attention to American politics.

8:43 am

cybernan

^ If you haven't guessed, we westerners are a little touchy about being ignored all the time

8:43 am

MollyL

Jinx Bea, you owe me a beer.

8:44 am

penquis

defniition....
Canadian a dish of chipped potatoes topped with curd cheese and a tomato-based sauce....never saw it with tomato sauce, though some people eat ketchup with poutine...

8:44 am

hokie carla

and what we're saying is the rest of canada and the world consider poutine a canadian thing, not a french canadian thing

8:44 am

cybernan

Bea - we have no choice but to pay attention to American politics

8:44 am

BzznBea

Molly, did you see I got a new computer?

8:45 am

MollyL

That's great Bea, what kind?

8:45 am

penquis

well, carla, it is a French word....

8:46 am

cybernan

I really don't care what the rest of the world thinks, carla -- poutine originated in Quebec. Hyou people are impossible to talk to today, so Im out of here.

8:46 am

BzznBea

A dell

8:46 am

hokie carla

well pen, I would say to5 and tu5 are also both french, no?

8:47 am

penquis

both are French....i think tuque is more French Canadian...

8:48 am

MollyL

Dell is my preference these days. So glad you finally got a new one. New computers are the best.

8:48 am

penquis

all that means is that I doubt tuque originated in France, but I could be wrong....

8:48 am

penquis

my laptop is a Dell as well...

8:48 am

BzznBea

Learning a new computer is not the best.

8:48 am

hokie carla

while both are hats, the definitions are actually pretty different. tuque clearly says heavy stocking cap in canada, and to5 says a close fitting women's hat or a chef's hat.

8:49 am

MollyL

I think we are getting a little anal about this to5/tu5 thing.

8:49 am

penquis

yes, but tuque probably came from the other word....

8:50 am

MollyL

Bea, what kind of computer did you have before?

8:50 am

hokie carla

sorry, am just frustrated

8:50 am

BzznBea

An IBM Thinkpad.

8:51 am

BzznBea

Sorry. That is all I know.

8:51 am

penquis

what are you frustrated about?

8:51 am

MollyL

Oh jeeze, big difference then. Dell's are pretty easy to navigate once you get used to them.

Molly, I got creative with leftovers last night. A layer of dressing and turkey, a layer of cranberry sauce mixed with mayo, a layer of mashed potatoes mixed with mayo and shredded cheese and then another layer of dressing and turkey.

8:52 am

MollyL

I pretty much defer to French Canadians when it comes to French Canadian words. *Nods to Saint Pen

8:53 am

rururocks

i have a feeling i wouldn't care for poutine

8:54 am

hokie carla

I can guarantee you I wouldn't, ru

8:54 am

MollyL

We make something like that around here Bea. Kind of a mish mash of all Thanksgiving leftovers. And of course, cheese.

8:54 am

penquis

it's not something i care for either....especially when it's cooled off a little....

8:54 am

BzznBea

It was good. Had cranberry sauce to add to the top if wanted.

8:54 am

BzznBea

Ru!

8:55 am

9:03 am

hokie carla

bundle up, lindy

9:03 am

MollyL

Carla, I do my best not to use the language of my kids. I am no longer a thirtysomething and talking like one just seems foolish.

9:04 am

hokie carla

btw, now the th5 song is stuck in my head, and it's one of the worst songs ever.

9:04 am

aslindy

turtle neck, sweater, warm leggings, fuzzy blanket, and furry hat. I'm warm enough.

9:04 am

hokie carla

how old are your kids?

9:04 am

aslindy

oh and wool socks, and shoes.

9:05 am

MollyL

28, 39 and 41.

9:05 am

hokie carla

mr homie is getting ready to go mountain biking and I was going to go but it's 46F here. no thanks.

9:05 am

BzznBea

Fire up the oven, lindy

9:05 am

welki

i pronounce the knitted hat tuke, so if i were to be asked to spell it, i would go with tuque. when i lived in the states, a toque was a hat, pronounced toke. that's all i know :)

9:05 am

hokie carla

ok whew, looks like I can use the language of your kids then.

9:06 am

MollyL

I always thought of the to word as a chefs hat until I started playing this game.

9:06 am

aslindy

yes, bea, I'm thinking I should make lasagna or baked ravioli. and brownies.

9:06 am

rururocks

you must have had kids really young molly

9:06 am

hokie carla

I never heard of the to5 until this game but knew the tu5

9:07 am

MollyL

I did. I had my first two when I was twenty and twenty-two.

9:07 am

rururocks

wow.. that's amazing

9:07 am

welki

and yep, i've heard of to5 being a chef's hat, too. guess it's a tomato, tomahto thing

9:08 am

MollyL

Eighteen months apart. They are referred to as "Irish twins" : D

9:08 am

rururocks

< knew about toques from restaurants

9:08 am

hokie carla

and welki, you aren't french canadian??

9:09 am

BzznBea

How do you mmake the babble font bigger?

9:09 am

hokie carla

my mom & her sister are 14 months apart. they've always been very close.

9:09 am

welki

nooooo - born and raised in brooklyn/queens, ny

9:09 am

MollyL

I think we have developed THE DISCUSSION 2.0 today.

9:09 am

dan2bit

holding down control key and pressing "plus" works in most browsers to enlarge fonts

9:10 am

hokie carla

it's christmas time in hollis queens. mom's cooking chicken and collard greens.

9:10 am

MollyL

it will make the rest of your screen a little blurry though

9:10 am

BzznBea

Thank you dan.

9:11 am

hokie carla

I didn't know you could do that. I just wear readers sometimes when I can't see the words here.

9:11 am

MollyL

And that is a funny saying since collard greens are so southern and not at all New York

9:11 am

BzznBea

I've refreshed babble about 30 times because I keep making the font small somehow...

9:11 am

hokie carla

it's from a Run-DMC song. I'm guessing collard greens are like soul food as well as southern.

9:12 am

rururocks

I love collard greens

9:13 am

BzznBea

I don't like them soupy and slimy.

9:13 am

penquis

Bea....ji just reverse pinch the touchpad to enlarge the image on the screen....

9:13 am

hokie carla

I'm guessing I don't like them

9:13 am

rururocks

they are GF hokie :D

9:13 am

hokie carla

not really helping sell them

9:14 am

MollyL

Thanks to Ru, I now have a new meaning for GF.

9:14 am

dan2bit

collard greens came north with the great migration to nearly all the big northern cities. they are "poor folk food" because collards are basically weeds that rich whites didn't care to eat

9:14 am

rururocks

i like them with white balsamic, shallots and chopped bacon

9:15 am

BzznBea

I like mine blanced and then sauteed.

9:15 am

rururocks

i saute mine too in just a little olive oil

9:15 am

MollyL

It's all spinach to me, which is fine, I like spinach

9:15 am

hokie carla

dan, are you a food origins expert? ('cause you sound like it) interesting.

9:16 am

BzznBea

Thanks, pen. I'll get used t this thing soon.

9:16 am

MollyL

That sounded like Wikipedia to me
: D

9:16 am

hokie carla

haha

9:16 am

MollyL

I'm glad Bea knew what "reverse pinch" meant. I didn't.

9:16 am

hokie carla

I mean, maybe he knows something about poutine ;)

9:17 am

hokie carla

you can pinch and reverse pinch on touchscreen things, like phones and kindles. never done that, molly?

9:17 am

MollyL

Could someone please get Carla a tuque and a big bowl of poutine?

9:17 am

hokie carla

well, it'd have to be GF

9:17 am

dan2bit

I studied post-Civil War US history for a while when I thought I might teach. Then the internet happened

9:18 am

MollyL

I despise touch screen. It gets fingerprints all over the screen.

9:18 am

hokie carla

mr. homie touches this macbook screen all the time and I"m like, "not a touchscreen. not a touchscreen." takes a few minutes for it to sink in.

9:18 am

MollyL

Okay, then get Carla a good effing tuque and a good effing bowl of poutine.

9:19 am

dan2bit

miss2bit when she was not even three walked up to our television and tried to swipe it to another channel :-)

9:19 am

hokie carla

9:24 am

hokie carla

9:25 am

MollyL

9:26 am

hokie carla
