1:18 am
zubie

List is not up yet
1:19 am
Babbler

hey all, just popped in to copy the grid and take it to bed.

hey Zubie! What did the doc say? : )
1:20 am
zubie

Hi Babbler. The doctor still doesn't think it needs an xray! But I'm to rest it more and next checkup is tomorrow.
1:20 am
GreyWoulf

hey, I'm back for a quick pass through before I go to bed now that litties are fed and happy :)
1:21 am
GreyWoulf

zubie - is the ankle feeling any better at all?
1:22 am
Babbler

Zubie, humbly request a second opinion. He/she is obliged to honour that. Or take yourself to A&E, if you can. Something isn't right, is it? :/
1:23 am
zubie

Doesn't feel more painful, Babbler. But didn't look less swollen when I saw it last night.
1:23 am
GreyWoulf

Hey Babbler, knowing nothing about j-pop I googled it with wolf and came up with the group Guitar Wolf :)

Know anything about them?
1:24 am
zubie

Hi GW. Ankle isn't hurting more - but isn't hurting less, either. I'm on brufen - good or bad?
1:24 am
Babbler

It's not just the pain, Zube, that swelling is wrong.
Does everyone agree with me?
1:25 am
Babbler

hey GW - don't ask me, mate, I'm clueless! It's Miyavi_Fan who is our little j-rocker. That's fantastic you found a band called Guitar Wolf! LOL! Are they japanese as well?
1:27 am
GreyWoulf

Being on brufen is good, anything that helps your body spend its energy on healing and not enduring

Another important consideration -- how well are you maintaining proper hydration? -- how much water are you drinking each day -- that will also have an impact on how quickly the swelling recedes
1:28 am
Babbler

excellent point GW ! Also, did you know water is a natural pain killer? Sounds mad, but it is. : )
1:28 am
GreyWoulf

Bab - yes they are -- you may have noticed that I am trying to always have a wolf to match the daily theme -- I'm kinda glad I missed smiley day bec there are no smiley wolf images ;D
1:29 am
Babbler

I did notice, GW !! :D
1:30 am
Babbler

I'm sure I saw a wolf icon of yours recently that was very friendly and smiley?
1:30 am
GreyWoulf

zubie - the key is to be drinking at least 4-6 glasses of water every day -- not soda and definitely not anything caffeinated -- the caffeine counters the benefits of the water -- you can still have coffee or the like, just not as the majority of your fluid intake

zubie

Really, GW? The water, I mean. I don't drink enough even at ordinary times. :s/
1:31 am
GreyWoulf

Well, true Bab - but I was looking for a yellow smiley to match everyone else
1:31 am
zubie

I try to drink 6 glasses of water a day but never reach the target.
1:32 am
Babbler

I wanted a smiley of Aishwarya Rai, but I changed it to a smiley to match everyone else too! : )
1:33 am
GreyWoulf

zubie - really! I am always getting chastised by Kirsten bec I don;t drink enough water myself. But I have to admit that I find I do function better on the days that I actively work at drinking at least 6 (8 ounce) glasses of water throughout :)
1:34 am
GreyWoulf

Bab - I have no idea who you are referring to
1:34 am
Babbler

Zube, water is the best thing. But it can get boring. If you're looking for alternatives that you know you WILL drink, try herbal teas, green tea, or naturally decaffeinated tea like rooibus / redbush / bush tea. Do aim for those 6 glasses. (you really need more, but not too much!) :)
1:35 am
Babbler

oh, oops, she is a bollywood actress who is making it big in hollywood now. She was a Miss World at one point. I had her icon for a while, until we started theme days. : )
1:35 am
zubie

I forget to drink water! I've taken to keeping a bottle on the table but even then, I forget! When you mentioned it, I realised I was thirsty. Probably been an hour or more since I began to be thirsty but it didn't register in my head!

I've now begun on glass #1! [cheer!]
1:35 am
GreyWoulf

BTW - has anyone claimed first find on the 7 today?
1:36 am
zubie

I have a w8.

Morning
1:36 am
zubie

Yes, I just realised I have the 7, but someone mentioned both earlier - I forget who.
1:37 am
GreyWoulf

well I have a p7
1:37 am
Babbler

well done, Zube! Proud of you! Did you know, when you're thirsty, actually, (supposedly), you're already dehydrated?

(full of information today, aren't I? LOL! ) : )
1:38 am
GreyWoulf

True, Bab -- a friend of mine told me taht when you feel thirst it means you are already about a quart low
1:39 am
Blaze

and funnily enough I was told that you were drinking enough water if you are thirsty.... Pass the champers please
1:40 am
Babbler

*passes champers to blaze* : D
1:40 am
Blaze

ta babbler
1:41 am
Babbler

Well, it's time to say sayonara !

see you all later today

:D
1:41 am
spatialbean

david sylvian!
1:41 am
GreyWoulf

(*opens new bottle for Blaze*)

I think that refers to the fact that you're body is reacting properly to stimuli, Blaze. I think one of the signs of severe dehydration is that you no longer feel the urge to drink -- similar to how the body will suppress the hunger urge after a while
1:42 am
Babbler

hope you feel better, Zube ((((hugs))))

and *hugs* to GW ! : )

ooh, spot on, spatial!! :D
1:42 am
GreyWoulf

Later. Babbler -- have a great day!

Blaze

Zubie you will be floating or peeing through the grid.....:)
1:46 am
GreyWoulf

zubie - no need to feel that way -- Blaze and I were exploring a tangent :)

Besides you know it's because we care :)
1:47 am
zubie

1:47 am
zubie

Yes, I know, GW, and I'm touched. I am so new here and everyone is so friendly. It's wonderful! [bear hug]

If you keep golden 'orfe' in your pond, you'll find this grid won't let you. 'Fatdog's' not allowed either. LOL. Nor the tw7/44 extension of one of the tw4/8's!
5:18 am
Ho Hum

Yoink - nice one thanks, zobie, think body art
5:19 am

6:47 am
Jacula

There is a workman digging a hole in the pavement at the end of my drive who seems to think it is amusing to yell, 'AARGH!' to his mate up the road with every stroke of the spade. If he continues to be amused by this, he may well find himself head down in his own hole.

*Quietly fuming here.*
6:48 am
Jacula

Sherry, 'Oreo' is a brand name, so not allowed.
6:48 am

Hi all, happy thanksgiving. Very frustrated today because the wife wouldn't let me have my big thanksgiving and we are going to some friends and I am not cooking anything. Seems so out of place. Last year i will allow this to happen. I hate being out of control but maybe a good lesson for me.
8:38 am
Dachef

also, according to the god of the little red box, Godot does not exist either.

I bl**dy well knew it! Someone tell Estragon and Vildamar, they're gonna be peeved.

Anj thank you for the brit slang site. I wish I'd had it when I first started watching eastenders, about every fifth word of which I understood.
3:23 pm
lola100

I have to say that this grid is giving me a new-found respect for my monkey typing skills! :)
3:25 pm
Anj

Thanks Yoink - will check them out : )

Mab, Eastenders is a blight upon our nation's viewing. I'm not a fan lol
3:27 pm

3:28 pm
lola100

'dodat' is a word! I hear 'no mommy, I don't wanna dodat' all the time round here!
3:30 pm
mab

eastenders very popular hear, of course, and now available only on "premium channels." I've not seen it (except when in england) for years -- back in the days when Den and Ang ran the pub and Rollie the poodle was about. I did love it.
3:32 pm

Mab, I only have to suffer when the folks visit. They are vetoed at all other times in this household bwah hah hah!

Hey Yoink :)
Anj, there was something disturbing about that greeting! I think it's because my maths teacher says hello to me in the same way lol!l

3:38 pm
Miyavi_fan

And hey to Lola and Artlady...how is everyone?
3:38 pm
Yoink

You see your teacher in the evening? Extra-curricular activities? ;-)

Ewww...Yoink! My maths teacher is about one hundred years old and smells like a neglected pond
3:39 pm

Miy, I know what you mean. It's a written version of the Mommy Voice : )
3:40 pm
Yoink

Ahh, eau de neglected pond, one of my favourite fragrances
3:40 pm
brandyjack

Think chips.
3:40 pm
Anj

Ouwa, you want chips with that? Though clue might ap-peel ; )
3:40 pm
Miyavi_fan

Yoink, it is typical old man teacher smell. Mixed slightly with gin :)
3:41 pm
lola100

miyavi, does my icon mean anything to you? I just googled j-rock and liked this one, hope it's okay?
3:42 pm
Miyavi_fan

The mommy voice? Is that an actual term? Myself, I can see my maths teacher in my head...sitting the way all men inexplicably sit, only straighter so his knees click...*shudders*
3:43 pm
Miyavi_fan

*squinting at icon* If I'm right - and I'm probably not, my contact lenses have gone AWOL - it looks like it could be one of the off shots for A$hita, Genki ni naare :D

Ouwa, I missed that one too lol
3:44 pm
Miyavi_fan

It may not be though, Lola, the head looks like it could be someone else...
3:45 pm

Really?! I guess it's because they're import copies, but...a copy is already on it's way to me :D
3:45 pm

3:46 pm
Miyavi_fan

*slips in contacts* In fact...it's, er, not MYV...can't actually figure out who it is :)
3:46 pm

I only knew 3 Japanese bands before coming on Babble, Polysics, Melt Banana and Guitar Wolf, of which only Polysics I really liked, though Melt Banana were good live
3:46 pm
Ouwachita

I have one 4 letter word to go...do4/5 near the bottom....have the french artist and the excessive fondness ones
3:47 pm
Ouwachita

if I get some help, I can go back to eating more turkey
3:48 pm
Miyavi_fan

Yoink, what sort of bands are they? Are they rock, pop, or "death-metal-filth-fetish-roc k"? (the category Jonathon Ross put Dir en Grey into)
3:48 pm
lola100

Three left and I'm too tired to care about the damn fish. Can someone please help me with ot5/10, ro5/10 and ta6/18??
3:48 pm

Ouwa, sounds like the thing you open & shut to get in/out of a roomy??
3:49 pm
Ouwachita

I have that one ANJ

3:49 pm
Miyavi_fan

Isn't the ot5/10 the mammal that lives in water? Or is there more than one?
3:49 pm
Anj

ot5/10 - next time you go for a chinese, order Chicken Tarka. It's like Chicken Tikka, only 'o...... LMAO :D
3:49 pm
lola100

*sigh* No, that's the one miyavi...hand me the fish please.
3:50 pm

Anj, chances are it's actually ot5/10. That's why I avoid those places :/
3:50 pm

3:50 pm

OK, ouwa, how about two x two letter words which seperately might be an order to get busy??
3:51 pm
lola100

Oooh! A filth-fetish-fish! :D
3:51 pm
Anj

Lo, don't be silly. It's more likely to be cat, dog, rat or pigeon. Only the plumpest, choicest.... no, let's not go there...
3:52 pm
Miyavi_fan

*cheesy grin* a filth-fetish-fish...Kyo inspired :D
3:52 pm
Yoink

Polysics are kinda electronic-noise-rock, Melt Banana are even noisier noise-rock, short sharp shocks of songs, and guitar Wolf are a bit more conventional indie-punk rock kinda stuff. Funny, each of them to me has a cover that sticks in my mind, Polysics with "My Sharona", Melt Banana with "Surfin' USA" and Guitar Wolf with "Summertime blues"
3:53 pm
Miyavi_fan

Ah...do they sing in English or Japanese? Or Engrish...which seems to be what Panic Channel chose :) Can someone please tell me what "what self bades street, stay with me alone to sun" means?!
3:53 pm

Oh my goodness~~~ I forgot to thank you Anj..I was so excited about finishing, I danced around the turkey ( which I obviously am) and totally forgot...being 69.....quite a sight!! anyway many many thanks

3:54 pm
Anj

y/w welcome Judirae. Did the turkey get to lead then?? lol : D
3:54 pm
Miyavi_fan

Hey, just name the song and I'll name the album :)

Um...did you lot not see that I needed two more clues?!
3:55 pm

3:55 pm

Ouwa, in my experience, it's ALWAYS the easy ones that ar hardest to find LOL :' )
3:55 pm
Yoink

Guitar Wolf I think English, Polysics both, and Melt Banana, you try listening to them and telling me! I haven't got a clue.
3:56 pm
Ouwachita

If you can't tell, it'll probably be Engrish. "I believe was rocking my dream" :D
3:56 pm
Yoink

Anj, have you tried allmusic.com? indispensible
3:57 pm
Miyavi_fan

Hey, this could be a good test for me :) Try me
3:58 pm

ta6/18 - body art : )
3:59 pm
Anj

OKaaay...
Erode, Karasu. Macabre & Scars : )
4:01 pm
Miyavi_fan

Macabre is from Macabre :)
Erode is from Missa, their first mini album...
Got a feeling Karasu is on a single...if not, then either Vulgar or Withering to Death (nice and vague)
And...I wasn't aware Dir en Grey have a song called 'Scars'...could be on the playlist for WtD, which I haven't seen yet :/ Scars is a song by X Japan, though
4:02 pm
lola100

Thanks Anj, got the ta6 but I can't make head or tail of your ro5 clue :/
4:04 pm
lola100

Yay! Just monkeyed it, I'm done :)
4:04 pm
Yoink

Lola, when something has gone off it is ro6, take off the last letter
4:04 pm
Anj

OK babe, you're SA'n, someone knocks on the door, you grab the rifle, open the window and ket the r.... out.

Miyavi_fan

And nice one Lola :D
4:10 pm
Yoink

Well done Lola :)
4:10 pm
Miyavi_fan

One of the titles of the song had me confused, though Anj...just please tell me, is 'keloid milk' (er...Kyo's words, not mine) going to be something I'll want to find out about? I know what Keloid as and it's not nice!
4:13 pm
Anj

Miy, it's just the Jap/Eng language thing again. Keloid is scar tissue, so it's just getting descriptive with plasma methinks : )
4:13 pm
Anj

Well done babe : ) Slow dance again??
4:14 pm
Anj

Miy, i've found another. I've got The Final as DeG but that's an X Japan track too isn't it?? : /
4:14 pm
Miyavi_fan

Thanks Anj...knowing Kyo, that makes a lot of sense...like when I was trying to decipher the word 'mazohyst'...turns out the poor dude got confused between Japanese and English *again*
4:14 pm
Yoink

MF, dipping into my first taste of Miyavi right now...
4:14 pm
lola100

Mmm, lovely. I've got the OP on already ;)
4:14 pm

Right guys, time for me to get some shut-eye. I'll see you all on monday, have a great weekend :)

'nite babe, sweet dreams :) (((xx)))
4:16 pm

Great...Hatachi Kinebi, Peter Pan Syndrome :) Bit of a strange song, have you heard Girls, Be Ambitious?
4:17 pm

Have a lovely weekend, Lola.

See you later Lola :)

Nite Lola ; ) (((xx))) Sweet dreams : )
4:19 pm
Miyavi_fan

Brilliant :) That was the first Miyavi song I ever successfully translated...then found an English translation for on a site two days later >_<
4:19 pm
Anj

...just been listening to Increase Blue. That's quite a good track as well.

Hi EvaN : D Have you survived the turkey???
4:19 pm
EvaNadine

evening all!
im full of turkey and sleepy now!
hehe
4:20 pm
Miyavi_fan

*fights urge to throw arms around Anj and proclaim everlasting love*
4:21 pm
EvaNadine

so very yummy...turkey, cornbread stuffing, roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce...we are all taking a break before dessert -- we have a choice of apple pie, pumpkin pie, flan, or strawberries with cream.
:)
4:21 pm
mab

evana! no tackling anyone? It MUST be the tryptophan (sp).
4:21 pm

missing an ab/4, have the one that means to assist
4:21 pm
EvaNadine

feeling too fat to tackle anyone...hehe
4:22 pm
mab

Flan, please. And apple pie.
4:22 pm
EvaNadine

im gonna opt for strawberries + cream...and maybe i can hunt down some ice cream while im at it.
;)
4:23 pm
Miyavi_fan

I love to make apple pie...no idea why. I feel really housewifey when I'm doing it though..the next day I'll start weeping at nursery rhymes and adverts for wholesome brown bread :D
4:23 pm
Anj

Peri, a farewell : )

oooo! strawberries & cream. I hope it's clotted cream dear or you're really missing out : D
4:24 pm
EvaNadine

oh, its hand-whipped by my daddy!
he wouldnt serve it any other way!
4:24 pm
mab

Miy: my icon is a bit retro, but I am going to Anj's music sight tonight and I'm going to finally (if I figure out site) listen to some Japan rock. Finally getting curious.
4:25 pm
Miyavi_fan

*wraps Mab in massive hug* yay :D
4:26 pm
Miyavi_fan

Wait...what are your normal musical tastes like?
4:26 pm
mab

(hugs back) Shall I start with Miyavi?
4:27 pm
Miyavi_fan

Depends who you're into usually...lots of people are repulsed by dir en grey...but that's usually after I translate the lyrics for them :)
4:27 pm
Anj

Mab, not sure who's streamable on there, so try and find a radio tag for j-rock : )

EvaN nooooooo! Whipped cream... no! Bad EvaN lol
Must be clotted, or double in a worst case scenario.
Clotted cream does not come off the spoon without industrial grade assistance : D
4:28 pm
mab

I'm jazz, blues, classical; so this will be a departure, but it's about time I stepped into the 21st century.
4:28 pm
EvaNadine

hey, youve never HAD my dads homemade whipped cream.
its pretty thick stuff!
4:29 pm
Miyavi_fan

In that case I'd definitely try starting with something softer...Dir en Grey can go OTT sometimes...listen to Pink Killer sometimes if you don't believe me :D Some lighter Miyavi may be a good start...Girls be ambitious or Coo Quack Cluck (don't ask!)
4:30 pm
periwinkle

Need help with G's please. I have the color and the cave. What am I missing?
4:30 pm
Yoink

Well, there they go. For some reason not what I was expecting, but not bad, needs further listening to develop a proper opinion
4:31 pm
mab

Oh, oh, oh -- clotted cream! yum. can be gotten in posh markets, of which there are none in my corner of nowhere. Just as well as I'm financially compromised.
4:31 pm
Anj

EvaN, OK e-mail me some lol
Don't forget the sprinklies : )
4:31 pm
Miyavi_fan

Great :) What were you expecting?
4:32 pm
EvaNadine

gonna go enjoy my berries now...
might be able to hop online later, but im sure youll all be gone by then...
gnite all!
4:33 pm

I'll try numerous bands. Would like to hear girls be ambitious. Appeals to my quaint feminist notions.
4:33 pm

*musing to self* Berry...that's a dir en grey song...

ENJOY evana!!!!!!!!!!
4:34 pm
Anj

'nite EvaN - enjoy! : D
4:34 pm
Miyavi_fan

Good...name appealing, that's a hopeful start :) The translated lines for that song are stuck permanently in my head!
4:35 pm
Yoink

You know, I have no idea, yet it still wasn't what I was expecting. Heavier than I was thinking, and then in that song you mentioned, the vocals surprised me when they came in as it sounded like a routine heavy metal song until that point
4:37 pm
Miyavi_fan

Well, thanks for checking it out :) I don't know why, I just love it when people are open minded towards it...so thanks :)
4:38 pm
Yoink

I'm open minded to any music there is, I refuse to be pigeon-holed *looks around furtively and flees from approaching pigeon-holes*
4:39 pm
Anj

Miy, how about Clever Sleazoid and Deity??
4:39 pm
Miyavi_fan

That's great, I wish I was as open minded as that...I'm stuck very firmly in my j-rock pigeon-hole.

It's really quite cosy...:D
4:40 pm

Anj...the albums, you mean?

thanks, Anj, found it just as I saw your clue.
4:54 pm

...artwork?

*hangs head* ignorance...
4:56 pm
Miyavi_fan

Wow, I'm watching the live Umbrella...it always amazes me that me makes those incredible choking noises on stage as well...especially when he did Mazohyst of Decadence.
4:56 pm

Miy, for iTunes. I'm in the process of tracking it down for all 4500 plus tracks : /

5:00 pm

listening to radio now; if you go to npr.org when you have a few minutes you can listen to stories about thanksgiving menus in new orleans -- nothing like what's standard in the rest of the country-- and Missippi Delta music in the '40's (fascinating). I'm addressing anybody I guess. This is too good not to share. (Can listen anytime)
5:01 pm
Miyavi_fan

I don't trust my computer to go to any radio sites...it just about handles youtube :/
5:01 pm
Yoink

Mo5s, there is a credo or saying, that word with another vowel on the end, and a word like a roadside place you stay in overnight with a different vowel on the end
5:01 pm
Anj

Peri, me7 - m3 - as in bumped into someone you know, and o4 - gem or stone, drop the L and replace with an E
5:02 pm
renfield

mab -listen to npr everyday
5:02 pm

It's silent though, until you click on the story you want. But I don't understand how computers handle these things.

I would look up 'woot' on the britslang site, but I think it must just be what it sounds like, like yippee.

I'm only glad that we in UK don't have to do a big Harvest Festival cook-up (our equivalent to Thanksgiving, or near enough) as well as the Christmas & New Year one! LOL.
6:57 pm
doxy1lover

I was actually supposed to work 12 hours today. Got to work 6. Didn't plan anything today. Hubby and I went out to eat this evening.
6:59 pm
Jacula

I've already made a vat of Irish Stew today (which should last us for a couple of days) + dinner + 3 lots of cookie dough. One lot of cookie dough is a tried and tested old favourite of ours, the other two I made up as I went along. I'll be posting the recipes in BabAnon once I know they work (or not, if not!).
7:00 pm
mab

Jacula: although i think people really do reflect on what they are thankful for, the holiday has also become a major run-up to xmas, with the Friday being the busiest shopping day of the year. So all that food consumption becomes a metaphor for commercial consumption.
7:00 pm
doxy1lover

the Irish stew sounds wonderful (even if I am full)
7:01 pm
doxy1lover

my daughter works retail. Is calling tomorrow "Black Friday"
7:01 pm
Jacula

Mab - I think you're right. Christmas seems to start in the shops in August here. At one point, one shop had Easter eggs, hot cross buns, Hallowe'en goodies AND Christmas stuff on display!!
7:02 pm
mab

Not that that's necessarily bad, in moderation.

I love stews. My ex-husband used to make a wonderful beef and orange squash stew.
7:02 pm
Jacula

Doxy - Sorry for going on about food when you're full. :-/
7:03 pm

no problem, can talk about food all the time, and usually do at work

I just like Thanksgiving because families don't get together as much anymore and this holiday seems to help w/o all the buying of presents..luckily we have a strong family unit and do all together

7:04 pm

doxy, how unfortunate to work today. I can relate -- used to work for psych hospital and worked most holidays.
7:05 pm
doxy1lover

work in labor and delivery. Had 2 babies born before I got there this morning, otherwise slow day.
7:06 pm
Jacula

The main topics of conversation when I used to work in an office with 20 other women seemed to be, men (either sighing over them or, for those married, sighing because of them), soap operas, food, how much money you'd need to do everything you wanted if you won the lottery and, for some strange reason, every Friday after (without fail), ess ee ex. Dunno why, but it always seems to be that way.
7:06 pm

That's a good point, Speed.

In a psych hospital everyone just talks about patients, all the time.

It sounds wonderful to work in labor and delivery.

Jacula Don't know if you missed my question what is in Irish stew? Thank you
7:11 pm
doxy1lover

I prefer to work earlier and have the afternoon off.
7:12 pm
Jacula

Speedfreak - The contents of Irish stew differ from household to household but, essentially, it's a lamb based stew with root vegetables and dumplings. I like to add peas to mine, also.
7:12 pm
mab

doxy: it seems like if one is a nurse and is willing to put up with what nurses have to put up with, one can make quite a good living. There is such a shortage. Hmmm.. should have gone into nursing.
7:13 pm

That sounds delicious on a cold winter night Jacula!:)

I am back from Thanksgiving and I am stuffed. Hy all. I am now looking for to4/7 and to 5/12 any clues
7:14 pm
mab

That's what my ex's stew had - lamb, not beef. I do love lamb.
7:14 pm
Jacula

Speed - I do mine in the pressure cooker to speed things up. However, it still needs 2 days prepping really to taste good. You cook the lamb on day 1 and skim most of the fat off once it's quite cold, add the vegs and cook it all together the next day, and then heat up however much you want (+ the dumplings) the next day.
7:15 pm

Thanks beebee
7:17 pm

Welcome back Marc. I hope you enjoyed your meal?

to4/7 (the pole clue before was the to5) - a homestead or a hillock. For the first 3 letters, think 'sticky, chewy stuff'.
7:17 pm
doxy1lover

to4/7 to + something not hard, drop the s
7:18 pm
doxy1lover

jacula, sounds wonderful
7:19 pm
Jacula

Well, re the stew, if you both have pressure cookers, I can put the recipe into BabAnon.
7:20 pm
doxy1lover

I almost always use my pressure cooker when making beef stew. Makes things go so much faster.
7:21 pm
speedfreak

I have always used my crockpot but my mother has a pressure cooker..
7:22 pm
Jacula

Apart from being warming in winter, it saves you cooking for 2 or 3 nights. Just make a vatful, like I do! Will keep in fridge for up to 5 days, so great if there are only 2 of you. When you get to the end bits (when most of the meat has gone) you can 'whoof' it up by adding a can or two of soup.
7:23 pm
MarkD57

Any help with my last 3?
me6/21
te4/6
tw4/8 - got the one like 5/18
7:24 pm
Jacula

Speed - It can be done in a crockpot. I'll make sure to put an adaption of the recipe in for you. I used to love my crockpot, especially when I worked long hours. It was very nice to come home to the comforting smell of dinner already cooking/cooked. Unfortunately, my crockpot was a casualty of my first (of 4 house floods) as it was on a low shelf. I've never got around to replacing it.
7:24 pm
doxy1lover

me6 - past tense of meet + what you did with turkey
7:25 pm
speedfreak

Thanks Jacula I would Love That!!
7:25 pm

7:26 pm

doxy1lover--thanks, I've been working on that for far to long.
7:30 pm

ye4/6 - another way to get this would be to think of The Abominable Snowman but get rid of the personal pronoun at the end and double up on the consonant before it.
7:31 pm

these letters are kind of in a convoluted way today..i wouldnt have seen that..without the clue
7:47 pm
Jacula

me7/36 - No definition for it. How do I explain it? Will think and get back to you on that.

mo7/44 - 1. An opening in the earth from which carbon dioxide and other gases escape, usually marking the last stage of volcanic activity.
2. The gases escaping from such an opening.
po7/44 - derogatory name for an effiminate man. (An extension of the po4/8 above it.)
7:48 pm
lianakate

yu know, Jac..i tried all kinds of extensions on that gay man thing..i have the first four letters, ..but will try, try again..
7:49 pm
Jacula

Okay - me7/36 - Think 'French underground railway' and take out the 'r', then add a small, greend round vegetable (a legume) but reverse the 2 vowels. Hope that helps!
7:49 pm
lianakate

okay..i got the gay man extension..LOL, ty.

7:53 pm
renfield

sorry - jacula - i had never heard of that word either - it was a surprise
7:53 pm
Jacula

Kate - re the me7/36, the small, round green veg is NOT a sprout. LOL.
7:54 pm
Michelle

Thanks, I got it!
7:56 pm
Jacula

Hi Renfield. Like I said, it's probably UK slang. You can get in to all kinds of trouble in other 'English-speaking' countries when you visit from UK. For instance, if you say you fancy 'a fag' (meaning you would like a cigarette) in US, it may well be taken in an entirely different way. Likewise in Australia, if you ask for 'Durex' (a condom here in UK) you may well be given a roll of sticky tape over there.

'The fathers on the bus go, 'GRUMP, GRUMP, GRUMP.'

Just a few of the verses our kids in the group used to add.

8:29 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi GW!!!!!
8:30 pm
renfield

"all a tw*****"
8:30 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi Jac -- so it would seem -- how are you doing today?
8:30 pm
Jacula

And that's another language difference between US and UK - We say hot 'flushes' over here. 'Flashes', if not to to with lightning and storms, or electrical stuff, mean strange men in nothing but raincoats who open them for their own pleasure but not other people's, over here.
8:30 pm
renfield

do 5/18 do*** ball
8:31 pm
mamabear

jacula - we have them here too - we call them Flashers! I have a joke on the subject if anyone is interested...
8:31 pm
Jo

Jac, we call those perverts in the US "flashERs" ;-)
8:31 pm
GreyWoulf

Hey MAMA -- loved the turkey humor you sent me :D
8:32 pm
Jacula

Mamma - We call them flashers here, too. LOL. Thank goodness, a language 'same'. LOL.
8:32 pm
Jo

mamabear

Hi shorty *wink*
8:33 pm
Jacula

Oh Mamma, even I would get that do5/18 clue! Don't 'do***' the issue! LOL.
8:33 pm
renfield

ok how about the cars, plymouth, cryshler, do***
8:34 pm
shorty

hi greyw
8:34 pm
Jo

Here's just a few of about 16:
Talk about a huge breast!
2. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.
3. It's Cool Whip time!
4. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!
5. Whew, that's one terrific spread!
8:34 pm
Jo

Remember, the title is "Things you Can only say at Thanksgiving."
8:34 pm
GreyWoulf

ROFL, Jo ;D
8:35 pm
mamabear

ok... hit me with the turkey fish.... I knew these do's were gonna be slappers. thanks renfield. got the 6/30 one too. dare I ask about the do 5/20?
8:35 pm
Jacula

Jo - I guess that joke is about 'Things That Sound Rude At Thanksgiving'?
8:35 pm
renfield

oh jo - oh no
8:36 pm
Jo

Yes, its bad....but, in a funny way! ;-)
8:36 pm
mamabear

still want to hear the flasher joke?
8:37 pm
Jo

Absolutely, Mama! Bring it on .... ;-)
8:37 pm
Jacula

No definition for the do5 - other than that it is an extension of the do4 before it (The elected chief magistrate of the former republics of Venice and Genoa.)

However, since we've been singing, think 'How much is the do*** in the Window?' It might help.
8:39 pm
mamabear

Ok... here goes, but you can't say I didn't warn you...
A man retires in the Spring of the year and decides to spend his new found free time being a flasher on his favorite street corner. He spends a few hours every day there throughout the summer.
When the weather started to change, his friends asked him if he was going to give it up since it was getting rather chilly.
He said, "Nah, I think I'm gonna stick it out a while longer."
TADA
8:39 pm
Jo

LOL!!! Mama, that was great! .....
8:39 pm
renfield

te 6/27 is te 6/21 change the last letter to the sometimes vowel
8:40 pm
Jacula

Mamma (Sorry! Mama.) Every time I see your name I hear that Phil Collins track in my mind. Brill. song though.
8:40 pm
GreyWoulf

Mama -Aaarghh!
8:41 pm
GreyWoulf

found a thanksgiving wolf icon :)
*refresh*
8:41 pm
Jacula

But as for the joke... URGH. Worthy of being posted on my groanworthy jokes thread in BabAnon.
8:41 pm
renfield

oh mama -
8:41 pm
Babbler

hi Jac - sorry ....... my pc had a paddy and threw me out..... just as I spotted the me7 too!! :D
8:42 pm
mamabear

thank you very much Jacula & Renfield!!! I am dun, dun, dun!!!! Unlike yesterday, yesterday, yesterday.... but that's just a bad memory now.
8:42 pm
Jo

Hey, at least her's wasn't as offensive as mine! And, mine only got worse .... ;-) I liked it, Mama ... funny
8:42 pm
Babbler

*snorts* LOL Mamabear !!!!!!!!!!!!

*flies over for My Mamabear hug * :D
8:43 pm
Babbler

ooh, you finished?

bravo Mamabear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
8:43 pm
mab

I liked that one Mama -- made me snort.
8:43 pm
mamabear

Love it, GW!!!!! Now I need to find bears ... but I don't think bears eat turkey.
Babbler!!!!!!! *bear hugs, bear hugs, bear hugs* - did you read my joke???????
Thanks, Jacula, my joke will go down in babanon history!
8:43 pm
Jacula

1st verse of the Phil Collins song. LOL.

'I can't see you mama
but I know you're always there
ooh to touch and to feel you mama
oh I just can't keep away
it's the heat and the steam of the city
oh its got me running and I just can't brake
so say you'll help me mama
cos its getting so hard'
8:44 pm
mab

Whoa, them's some lyrics!
8:44 pm
mamabear

I love that song too, Jacula!!!! Thanks for posting lyrics!
8:44 pm
Jacula

Erm, I'm a female and that wasn't personal. LOL. The song's a great song but also funny 'cos full of double-entendres.
8:45 pm
Babbler

I saw your joke, Mama! :D made me laugh
8:46 pm
Jacula

Just looking at many of the icons, is it a Miyavi day again?
8:46 pm
GreyWoulf

MAMA - just plug "bears & thanksgiving" or "bears & turkey" into google images and see what comes up -- that's all I did to find this one
8:47 pm
mab

It's miyavi day, still. Although Miy Fan has gone.
8:47 pm
Babbler

yes Jac, Anj asked Miyavi what she'd like seeing as banana tuesday went a bit pear-shaped (seeing as her sex-ed class was postponed to the new year).
8:47 pm
GreyWoulf

then I'll put the Guitar Wolf icon back -- my bad...
8:48 pm
mab

Amidst the general merriment here, may I have a clue for IO6, please?
8:48 pm
Jacula

Mab - I should hope she has gone at this time of the night/morn. She's only 13! What was the day in aid of?
8:49 pm
mamabear

I would change my icon, but there IS only one day of the year I can wear my hat....
8:49 pm
PFH

anyone so kind as to help with fo 6/27 or po7/44??
8:49 pm
mamabear

io 6 - io + da 4/4 - meaning to go out with someone of the opposite sex, or da** and nut bread...
8:49 pm
mab

Miyavi Fan was to pick todays theme, and she picked, surprise, J-rock.
8:49 pm
Jacula

io6 - 'io' + what you panic about when you are getting ready to go on your very first one (a thing that changes every day, due to time. Or a fruit most people only eat at Christmas.)
8:50 pm
GreyWoulf

Not if we declare an appropriately related day here in Babbleonia, Mama! ;)
8:50 pm
shorty

that was very funny Mama I just saw it (I was telling my kids goodbye)
8:51 pm
mab

Thanks, Jacula.
8:51 pm
Jacula

That's true, Wolfie, as long as no one declares it a naked day and gets us taken off the air. LOL.
8:51 pm
GreyWoulf

Keep those clues coming folks! I had to stop this AM with 50 to go and just got back to the game now :)
8:52 pm
renfield

mama nearly did that last friday - she came on line w/out her fur coat - in neon no less
8:52 pm
mamabear

fo 6/27 - same as the fe above it, but throw the hoop in
8:52 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - don't challenge me -- I'm sure I can come up with a naked theme which would work ;)
8:53 pm
mamabear

well yes, renfield, had to -it was naked Friday..
8:53 pm
Jacula

I think I remember that, Renfield. EEK!
8:54 pm
mab

Hmmmm...I think I remember da4's. I think I enjoyed them and even married someone because of them. I would like to have another before the curtain falls. Oh, dear.
8:55 pm
Jacula

Oh well, Wolfie, at least you said,'Don't challenge me,' rather than don't te5/14 me! I said that word to Lotti over the workman thing much earlier before I'd even realised it was a grid word.
8:55 pm
mamabear

po 7 - take the po 4 above it and add consonant, vowel, consonant. I saw clues earlier that said it is something that people in England use as a name for gay men
8:56 pm
GreyWoulf

po7 - rules 1, 3, 5, & 7 of the Australian Philosphers Society sketch from Monty Python --"NO po7's!"
8:58 pm
mamabear

GW - did you finish last nite?
8:58 pm
Jacula

Or, alternatively, po7 - anagram of 'footer' + shortened version of short version of taking a leak.
8:59 pm
Marc Freeman

I haven't looked at the comments for awhile but I need a clue for be5/18 please
8:59 pm
Jacula

Gawd! I've done too many cryptic crosswords over the years. I do give 'roundabout' clues, don't I? LOL.
8:59 pm
GreyWoulf

Nope! :D

I gave up at 323 -- I refused to use a2z

Besides- I had more fun chatting at that point :D
9:00 pm
Jacula

Marc - be5/18 - Think The Bible - and Adam be*** Cain & Abel. But change the 2nd vowel to make ending sound like a type of gun.
9:01 pm
katmama

i just finished my first puzzle!!! thanks so much to all of you who gave hints that helped me out! (even though you didn't know you were helping me) :)
9:01 pm
renfield

marc - kind of like torah - lineage (past tense)adam be***
9:02 pm
Jacula

That's okay KatMama. Drop in and chat with us sometime though.
9:02 pm
Babbler

renfield

great going katmama
9:03 pm
Jacula

Anyway, Babbler. It's 3.02am here in UK. What's your excuse for still being up? LOL.
9:03 pm
katmama

will do! this is so addicting and i've been fearing that talking to people would make it more addictive.. ;)
9:04 pm
Babbler

LOL Jac.......... errrm, well I was out this evening and I haven't finished my puzzle........ and I really ought not to be up as I've got electricians coming tomorrow....... and errrrr.......insomnia! : )

what's your excuse then?? :D
9:04 pm
Jacula

Katmama - Talking to people will DEFINITELY get you addicted. Either get out while you still can or relax and join in the fun.
9:04 pm
renfield

babbler & jacula - how do you guys stay up so late?
9:05 pm
Babbler

renfield - I'm a chronic insomniac ... : /
9:06 pm
Jacula

Babbler - Knew you'd ask that! Errr.. workmen will be at end of srive at the crack of dawn, so I really should not still be up, but I got lots of sleep last night and I'm not tired now.... and I've been busy... and erm...
9:06 pm
katmama

*grin* jacula, i'll keep that in mind...i'm off for the night
happy thanksgiving to all!
9:06 pm
GreyWoulf

ren - I am typically up till 3 -4 AM myself on pure adrenalin sometimes trying to leave as little as possible for the evening so I can focus on chatting :)
9:07 pm
Jacula

at7/36 - to try.
9:07 pm
renfield

babbler- ye 4/5 - add double consonent
9:07 pm
helenary

how easy..thaanx Jac
9:08 pm
Marc Freeman

Jacula and renfield understand the reference but if it has the 4 value letter it would be a 5/20 rather than a 5/18 what am I missing? I know I am going to slap myself on the head when you tell me. But tell me anyway.
9:08 pm
Babbler

thx renfield : )
9:09 pm
renfield

i love staying up all night - however - it doesnt help my attitude at 5:00 AM when the alarm buzzes
9:10 pm
GreyWoulf

I hear you, ren -- I can usually only do it for a couple of days before I need to turn in early to recharge
9:10 pm
Jacula

Renfield - I never normally am tired until about 12.30 anyway. But sometimes, working from home to my own hours now, I get more sleep, then less sleep, depends. I'm lucky now that I can choose how and when my 8 hours occur. I used to survive on much less sleep when I was younger. However, past few days have been hard because 23rd November was 2nd anniversary of my Dad's death. I get kinda restless around then and can only hope that my partner in life understands that.
9:11 pm
Babbler

how are you feeling now, Jac?
9:11 pm
Marc Freeman

Renfield, my brother is a conservative Rabbi in Walnut Creek, Calif. He is retiring and they are looking for a replacement. Interested?
9:12 pm
renfield

ok marc - be 5/18 how about if you go and *** something from the fridge - you went and *** it.
9:12 pm
Smeltzdog

Happy Thanksgiving!
9:12 pm
Jacula

Babbler - still a bit restless, but I'm trying to keep busy. I'm not sure anyone but my Mom (I'm an only child) understands why though.
9:13 pm
GreyWoulf

Happy Thanksgiving, Smeltz!!
9:13 pm
renfield

it's a thought -my husand is a rebbe
9:13 pm
Marc Freeman

Sorry Renfield I am thick tonight your clue didn't help
9:14 pm
Jacula

Happy Thanksgiving to you Smeltz.
9:15 pm
mamabear

sorry... had to spin off and get the last glass of pinot grigio............. did I miss anything? Hey, Smeltzie!!! Happy Thanksgiving to ya!
9:15 pm
renfield

jacula - i followed the thoughts you were writing the other morning - you helped me to understand - my mother is in the early statges of dementia - i cried w/ you although you did not know that at the time
9:17 pm
mamabear

be 5/18 - be + an animal that has horns and climbs steep mountains, a billy **** - remove one of the vowels
9:17 pm
Babbler

It's a big deal, Jac. Your Mum probably is the only person who best understands, because you both were the closest to him. Other people can only empathise.

Renfield, I did the same.
9:18 pm
renfield

ok marc - try this
be 5/18 - 7th consonent vowel consonent
9:19 pm
Babbler

marc, when you g** this, we will pass you the obvious haddock.......... (but change the middle vowel first, yeah?)
9:19 pm
Jacula

Oh Renfield. I am so sorry I made you cry. There is, though, a kind of black humour in it all, most terrible though it is. Even my Dad saw it, before he went too far. But, when they are still at home and they come to you desperately asking you to 'take them home', it's heartbreaking and even more so, once you've had to hand over care to professionals and they rush to the wired glass doors and bang on them, and look at you. Breaks your heart a thousand times over. Sorry to be so honest and I hope your Mom's future and yours will not bring that. However, if you need to talk, seriously and funnily, then private mail me re the Babblers Anonymous ez-box.
9:20 pm
Marc Freeman

thanks, Renfield I am slapping my head. Have to leave now for awhile and will be back before closing.
9:21 pm
Jacula

Marc - We'll make sure the barmaid doesn't clear your glass away.:-)
9:22 pm
renfield

thanks jacula - you have helped me very much already - i am indebted to you.
9:22 pm
renfield

marc - we'll all be waiting for you
9:22 pm
pbr

any hints for fo6?
9:24 pm
mamabear

fo 6 - an offensive odor, or stench
9:24 pm
Jacula

Renfield - just looked at your profile and added your 'wahoo!' addy to my MSN messenger. Hopefully, that will get us in contact, if we want.
9:25 pm
renfield

fo 6/27 - enemy + foot digit - drop ending vowel add a consonent
9:27 pm
pbr

renfeld - thanks -dare i ask for fe5? I have 106 words done
9:28 pm
mamabear

GW - did you notice yet that your "first name" is in the grid? As well as my "home"?????
9:28 pm
renfield

jacula - i appreciate it very much
9:29 pm
GreyWoulf

MAMA - I actually hadn't registered it - til you pointed it out :D
9:29 pm
Babbler

9:31 pm
mamabear

to 6 - to sway as if about to fall down
9:31 pm
pbr

not teeter but to****
9:32 pm
Jacula

Renfield - I'm there for you, whenever you want to talk.

Bit of black humour re the Alzheimer's thing.... A man of only 9 was in the same locked ward as my Dad. We called him Marchin Man, 'cos that's all he ever seemed to do... march up and down, up and down. When his sister came to visit him, the only way she could get to spend any time with him was to link arms and march up and down, too.

My Dad, when he first got there, thought the guy was an ex-waiter, because of the way he held his right arm out in front of him, like it had a teatowel over it.
9:32 pm
Babbler

mwah mamabear !!! :D

do you have the ye5, by any chance?
9:32 pm
Babbler

thx pbr, gottit just as you posted : )
9:33 pm
renfield

fe 5/ 16 periodic table symbol for iron & ending of the foot digit again
9:33 pm
Jacula

*A man of only 9? I'm sure I typed 59! So, a correction to my last post here.
9:33 pm
mamabear

ye 5 - the definition is a Spanish plant.... if you don't get it from that.. remember the play Zo*** the Greek? Try that
9:33 pm
Jacula

And another correction, he was only 49. Sorry about that.
9:34 pm
Babbler

mwah mamabear!! gottit from the greek bit : D
9:34 pm

Babbler

(I know, I'm not really trying here, am I? lol ! ) :D
9:37 pm
Jacula

Nice simple clue there, Mama (unlike mine!) That should do it!
9:37 pm
mamabear

te 6/27 - I'm a little te****, short and stout, but change the last consonant and you'll figure it out!!!
9:37 pm
Babbler

I got yours straight off from google, Jac : )
9:37 pm
GreyWoulf

Just hit me in the head with a clue by 4, why don't you?
LOL :)
9:38 pm
GreyWoulf

Bab - how many left?
9:38 pm
Babbler

46 yet to find........ how about you, GW?
9:39 pm
mamabear

clue by 4??/ LOL LOL
9:39 pm
GreyWoulf

22 and dropping!
9:39 pm
Maru

Hello!
Any help with po 7/44?
Thanx.
9:39 pm
Jacula

te6/27 - clue already given for that earlier.

te6/18 - Think of tee***ing on the brink and then change a few letters. BTW, the word ryhmes with 'letter'.
9:39 pm
mamabear

te 6 - te + double consonant + vowel + consonant
9:40 pm
renfield

6/18 = te - i think there is a blue star oninetment that is suppose to cure this scaley skin disease (?)
9:40 pm
Babbler

lol! gottit Jac! mwah !!

and got your's too mama mwah too !
9:41 pm
Babbler

ta6/18 pls? ty : )
9:41 pm
mamabear

Hi Maru!
po 7 - take the po 4/8 above it, add consonant, vowel, consonant
9:41 pm
Jacula

Maru - Where are you from before I try to clue you up on thee po7? It's a mainly UK derogatory term for an effiminate man.
9:42 pm
renfield

ta 6/18 - i think it was said earlier that this was body art
9:42 pm
mamabear

ta 6/18 - the little short guy on Fantasy Island.... zee plane!!!! zee plane!!!!! OR, when ink is applied under the skin
9:42 pm
Jacula

Babbler - think ink under the skin!
9:42 pm
Babbler

mwah renfield : )
9:42 pm
renfield

oh yes ta 6/18 -i think gw said he has one of these
9:43 pm
Babbler

LOL mamabear !!!!!!!1 I remember that show ! :)
9:43 pm
Maru

I'm from South America and living in Atlanta (USA) rigth now. I'll try with your clue...
9:43 pm
GreyWoulf

6, actually ;)
9:43 pm
pbr

oh no, I don't have any of the TE6's.
9:43 pm
helenary

i would love a clue for m7/36!! Thankyou
9:44 pm
Maru

Thanks mamabear. I'll try with your clue too!
9:44 pm
Jacula

Don't boast, Wolfie! LOL. Have you any in painful places?
9:45 pm
Jacula

I'm told ankles and other bony places are painful for that body art stuff.
9:45 pm
mamabear

me 7 - me + not the bottom, but the *** + 2 vowels
9:46 pm
GreyWoulf

Not boasting -- they are all small, three on my arms, the others are on my chest --- Kirsten has the painful one -- a tribal band around her thigh with some other art on the outer thigh -- she knows exactly where her sciatic nerve is as a result :)
9:46 pm
Maru

I got it. Thanx Jacula. Thanx Mamabear.
9:47 pm
mamabear

te 6's:
I'm a little te****, short and stout.
Same as above, change last consonant
Rhymes with letter
9:47 pm
helenary

thank you mama..what does it mean?
9:47 pm
Jacula

Helenary - I did give the best clue I could for that earlier. It has no definition. I think I said, 'Think French underground railway and then drop the 'r', + small, rund green vegetable (a legume) but reverse the last two vowels.'
9:47 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - that is true about ankles, et. al. -- the nerves are much closer to the surface and thus more easily irritated
9:47 pm
renfield

wolfie - always been curious about those body art things - how long do they take to heal?
9:47 pm
GreyWoulf

BTW, Jac that clue for the me7 worked beautifully for me ;)
9:48 pm
Babbler

the first po4/6, and the po5/12 at the bottom pls, anyone?
ty : )
9:49 pm
mamabear

I don't know, Helenary - that's why I gave the bizarro clue I did!
9:49 pm
renfield

po 4/6 you and **
9:50 pm
GreyWoulf

ren - everybody is different, but typically the worst is healed within about a week or so -- the key is to follow the after care instructions to the letter
9:50 pm
helenary

soo me6/21? clue and thanx to all for the great giving spitit
9:51 pm
helenary

spirit
9:51 pm
Jacula

po4/6 -A fleshy fruit, such as an apple, pear, or quince, having several seed chambers and an outer fleshy part largely derived from the hypanthium. Also called false fruit.

However, think of Pam Ayres (A UK poetaster, as some might say, but not me) and think of what she's been known to say.. 'Here's a po** wot I wrote.'
9:51 pm
renfield

po 5/12 rhymes w/ mo 5/12
9:52 pm
mamabear

me 6/21 - google this: "A stone block with a shallow concave surface, used with a mano for grinding corn or other grains."
9:53 pm
Babbler

thx renfield, but I still can't find them..... haven't got the mo5 yet either........ : /
9:53 pm
Cathy

Hi all ... Happy Thanksgiving
9:53 pm
Jacula

me6/21 - or add the French word for tea before your ta4/4.
9:53 pm
mamabear

I thought about getting a "body art" on my ankle.. but then once the fur grows back, nobody would see it!
9:54 pm
mamabear

Hi Cathy! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
9:54 pm
Babbler

thx Jac, gettit now...........

soz Ren, just slap me with the obvious fish! : )
9:55 pm
renfield

ok - hmmmm you and i work the words backwards - ok -
po 5/12 po+ double cosonent + vowel ( i think anj says its a loop on the end?)
9:55 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi Cathy!

MAMA - but if you did it for yourself -- you would know it is there, and that should be all the reason you truly need
9:55 pm
Jacula

That would be true. Mama. But being a bear must be the best! You eat all you want all warm times and get fat, then you sleep away the cold times and wake up thin again. BRILL!
9:55 pm
mamabear

Babbler - google this for your mo 5:
"A polyphonic composition based on a sacred text and usually sung without accompaniment."

9:56 pm
mamabear

True Jac... but I have to scratch my back on trees!
9:56 pm
Babbler

9:59 pm
mamabear

Yeah, Cathy, we get pretty deep!
10:00 pm
Jacula

renfield

hey shro - did you make to macy's parade
10:03 pm
Jacula

Wolfie, I know you're a capable man, just like mine. But I wouldn't mind betting you'd become cavemanlike again should it be your missus up on her until this hour rather than yourself? (It's 4.03am in UK, btw.)
10:03 pm
Schroeder

Yes mamabear he enjoys my apple trees very much, I also have coyote, couger, fox, deer, racoons and almost any other wildlife you can think of..

Schroeder

10:07 pm
Jacula

Is it Mama? I must have been mistaken then. Please excuse me for interrupting a Boby Goldsboro' moment. LOL.
10:08 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - don't change -- we love just the way you are!
As for becomong cavemanlike - I'm sure I understand your meaning...
10:08 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - you mean I amuse you all by being a 'pratess'? LOL.
10:08 pm
GreyWoulf

oops, I'm sure I DON'T understand...
10:09 pm
renfield

Babbler

(btw - got fa4/8 and fa6/27 for me, pretty pls?) : )
10:11 pm
Jacula

First few (yea, more!) lines of the Bobby Goldsboro song, Summer, The First Time:

'It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
I told Billy-Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking
She was 31 and I was 17
I knew nothing about love
She knew everything
And I sat down beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring
The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the sky
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown
And I thought it would melt her
She threw back her hair
Like I wasn't there
And she sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two lips...'
10:11 pm
renfield

sorry shro - i must have zoned out

10:14 pm
artlady

Ha ha, it's only 10 pm....managed to sneak in a puzzle between company and dinner...
10:14 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - 'pratess' - female version of 'prat' - UK sland for male (mostly) idiot.
10:15 pm
Jacula

Artlady - my apologies. For some reason I'd started to think you were a UK not a US resident.
10:15 pm
renfield

circe - did anyone answer your wa 8? aqua + canine
10:16 pm
Babbler

fa4/8 and fa6/27, anyone, pls? ty : )
10:16 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - I would never consider you a prat for any reason-- I consider you to be an exemplar of the standard Babble player -- you are intelligent, witty, and capable of recognising the humor in your mistakes
10:17 pm
Jacula

But, even if I hadn't... no excuses for me asking another person why they are up (or not) ast a certain time of the night or morn. I should not do that, since it's one of the 'net policing' things that annoys ME most!
10:18 pm

10:18 pm

10:48 pm
GreyWoulf

artlady - you just reminded me of an anecdote that I just read in Bennet Cerf's "The Life of the Party"

(I love reading his stuff -- it's a great snapshot of US social mores in the first half of the 20th century ;) )

It's about Texans - so hopefully, no one will take offense, but here it is --

'John Henry Faulk once roomed with a Texan who was deeply religious - but lazy as they come, He had a prayer framed right over his bed, so every night he could slide blissfully between the sheets, point to the prayer, and say, "Yep, them's my sentiments." '

fe 5/16 - fe + you have 5 of them on the end of your foot, but change the last letter to a consonant
10:56 pm
Marc Freeman

Wolfie - sorry for delay replying. I'd just gone off to view the badgers again. At times, I think I was far more linked to that site than my daughter was, when her lst longterm chap was. Oh dear! Both of us are probably nuts, but never mind!

11:24 pm
Jacula

I did remove them Wolfie, but still couldn't get there. However, I added a few magic touches of my own and did get to view it. I still prefer the original though! The only thing that comes near to it, even with the badger originals, is the Africa one.
11:25 pm
GreyWoulf

I have to work tomorrow myself... at least Lencrafter's doesn't subscribe to the whole extended hours just cos it's the holidays -- so I get to maintain a normal sleep and family routine :D

g'nite renfield - thanks for the help earlier! have a good nite.
11:26 pm

I agree with you, Jac -- but seeing Ron wiggle instead of the mushroom just totally appeals to me for some reason :)

And of course, my daughter loves it, too

11:27 pm

G'nite renfield!

I have a better one on my other computer...I'm being lazy right now on my laptop in bed so this is the best I could do

In the battle between Babble and Pain, they are running "neck & neck".... ha. Actually Pain is winning ... g'nite all!
11:30 pm
GreyWoulf

So I have to ask - am I the only one who thinks that if you plan to get together at a friends for Thanksgiving dinner, they should treat it as something other than a normal get together night?
11:31 pm
GreyWoulf

Sorry to hear about the pain, Mama!
Get a good nights sleep, we'll see you tomorrow!

The reason I post my query -- Kirsten cooked the turkey and the pies for dessert and we dressed up in nice outfits, to go over and share the holiday with our friends -- they provided all the other dishes.

Once we got there, they were dressed in their standard casual clothes - he was in black jeans and a t-shirt - and kept leaving us to go do things on the computer -- I handled primary baby supervision due to the pregnancy (np there), but until I turned on the TV I had nothing to do - there was no real convo of note or anything -- it was a very underwhelming experience :(
11:38 pm
Jacula

Aix - there was no break for me. But thank you for explaining the word. I did not know that, even though I completed this grid many hours ago.

Oh Smeltz we are almost twins today...your going to make me get out of bed and go to my other computer and find my other icon huh...
11:45 pm
GreyWoulf

Schroeder - thanks for the offer -- when I actually have the money I will consider taking you up on it :)
I've never been to CA and I have to admit that I am the kind of person who would love to actually meet my fellow Babblers face to face -- I think it would be very interesting to get a few of us together in the same place ;)
11:46 pm
LeslieAnn
