good morning debjed!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I think we're alone

3:47 am

debjed

I think so too. What time is it at your house?

3:47 am

rubyfoo

9:47AM, but we don't go on DST until next weekend

3:48 am

rubyfoo

it is really stupid that Europe and the US don't agree on such a simple thing!

3:48 am

it's 3:47AM here. And, I've got to work at 8 :)

3:49 am

debjed

oatmeal and coffee sounds good right now....

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I don't think I've seen 3:45AM for 30 years!

3:49 am

rubyfoo

we had a huge breakfast: eggs, veal sausage, toast, cottage cheese, coffee

3:49 am

debjed

I haven't been sleeping well for several months. I used to sleep a good 8 hours a night.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I take Xanax before I go to bed, otherwise I used to wake up at 2AM with anxiety and couldn't fall back asleep

3:50 am

rubyfoo

it really does the trick

3:52 am

debjed

I am out of my sleeping pills. I left a full-time job with great benefits due to a very bad environment. And, now I have no insurance. So, to see a doc to get a new prescription for them would be expensive.

3:53 am

debjed

I really need them too because I also suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome. I have meds for that, but sometimes they don't quite do the trick and I need that sleeper

3:56 am

rubyfoo

two nice things about Xanax: 1) no after-effects in the morning and they give me great dreams and 2) they're very cheap

3:56 am

rubyfoo

that was 3 things, lol

3:57 am

debjed

I would love that!! I was a pharmacy technician at my last job :)

3:57 am

debjed

lol :)

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I have the best dreams of my life since I started taking X after 9/11

3:59 am

debjed

Did 9/11 give you the anxiety?

3:59 am

rubyfoo

yes, I'm a New Yorker and maybe because I am so far away now, it made it even worse

4:00 am

debjed

wow, that must have been really hard for you. Do you still have family there?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

yes

4:01 am

debjed

Was everyone ok?!!

4:01 am

Jivingjenny0

good morning all, can anyone clue the 7 or 8 please

... Jackie Gleason?

7:24 am

(Actually fred allen said it, but anyway.)

7:25 am

Jackie Gleason said One of these Days, Alice...

7:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

fred allen said television was a vast waseland

7:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

and Mad Magazine said Jackie Gleason was a vast wasteland. So there you go.

... the only Honeymooners story I can remember was the day, on live television, that the door into the apartment stuck for Art Carney ... so when told to come in ... he came in through the bathroom door ...

♪ He came in through the bathroom window ♫

7:28 am

... a moment later the postman knocks on the door and Gleason says to "come in" again ... and Carney says ..." and good luck" ...

Gleason and Carney were a class act comedy duo.

7:29 am

... they certainly were ...

Audrey Meadows.

well I got a bone to pick with Ella today! Tisket is not a word...

7:31 am

Ah, Stiller and Meara

7:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

Anne and Jerry might disagree with you though.

7:32 am

I grew up with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman

In the same house?

m9f9l

oh ha ha..

7:32 am

... yes ... and what disaster will Tim Conway pull on Harvey tonight

7:33 am

m9f9l

fry and laurie are quite funny.

7:34 am

... but that leads to all the great British comedy acts that preceeded Monty Python ...

7:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yes, true...

7:36 am

m9f9l

and my kids loved Wooster and Jeeves. I remember watching Wodehouse Playhouse.. did anyone watch that?

7:36 am

m9f9l

yes.. although I never got what people saw in Benny Hill.

7:36 am

7:37 am

we recently got Good Neighbors from the library. The kids liked that.

Probably about lost virginity

7:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

Excuse me?

7:47 am

MollyL

In the fifties, lots of virginity was lost at the drive-in

7:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

Someone didn't lose their virginity till their fifties, you say?

7:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

All that wasted time.

7:48 am

*Passes Kap her bi-focals*

7:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

Did anyone find these "lots of virginity?"

7:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

Are they in the Lost and Found?

7:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

I would think you can't keep virginity lying around past its expiration date.

7:50 am

Trifioso

I often wonder if virginity is like a pierced ear -- if you dont' keep putting something in it, the hole closes up.....and good morning!

7:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

It all depends which virgin of reality you subscribe to.

7:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am so happy to engage in a frank discussion on a Saturday morning.

"franks" are vital in this process....

And with a plonk

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Why not now?

8:57 am

welki

<-- keeps seeing kestrel

8:57 am

rubyfoo

Ruffino is a wonder dog

8:58 am

Scrabbler

<--now distracted by kestrel

8:58 am

welki

most of the waters are closed for spawning, scrabbs. some rivers have open areas, but getting to them can be a little dicey this time of year, particularly once the bears wake up

8:58 am

rubyfoo

he actually watches television and barks at birds flying over

8:58 am

Scrabbler

That's great, Ruby.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Any lakes?

8:59 am

bichon

Marco and Polo are fascinated by the noises on TV. A doorbell rang on TV and they wanted to run to the door on TV

8:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

Did anyone have that doll, r7, with the hair that you could lengthen or shorten?

8:59 am

Hi Kap...looking now.

9:00 am

bichon

9:00 am

welki

oh ruby, every year you say you miss it, and every year i say, grab a fly rod and get out there! now you have a puppy to keep you company!

9:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

Tr7 I meant.

9:01 am

bichon

A girl from Queens fishes <ggg>

9:01 am

rubyfoo

we tried fly fishing here the first two years, got licenses and everything, but never had a bite or saw a fish. They were mythical brown trout as far as I'm concerned

9:01 am

Kaplan the Magne

She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens

9:01 am

welki

even in brooklyn/queens, i fished, bichon

9:02 am

Kaplan the Magne

when her boyfriend kicked her out on one of those crushing scenes

9:02 am

rubyfoo

bichon, I used to fish in Flushing Meadow Park in the canal between the lakes and also deepsea fishing off Sheepshead Bay and way out on the island

9:02 am

welki

fly fishing takes patience - but once you catch your first one ...

9:02 am

Kaplan the Magne

What was she to do! Where was she to go> She was out on her fanny.

9:02 am

welki

you know, i have not seen a fresh flounder or fluke since i've moved to canada

9:03 am

rubyfoo

my best was in Alaska, my 23" rainbow on a (excuse me, scrabs) a bunny fly

9:03 am

bichon

I went to the beach in Rockaway, but never went fishing

9:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

Then over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door

9:03 am

rubyfoo

what street, bichon?

9:04 am

bichon

I lived in the Beach 50's. We lived in a public housing development and then to a co-op

9:04 am

welki

hehehe, i tried tying my own flies - most of them looked like small sheep

9:04 am

bichon

It was actually the mighty town of Arverne

9:04 am

rubyfoo

my father used to bring home fluke and/or flounder, live, and my mother would have to kill them for dinner.....

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Did those sheep attract any fish?

9:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

She was there to sell make up but the father saw more,
She had style, she had flair, she was there,
That's how she became the Nanny.

Who would have guessed that the girl we described
was just exactly what the doctor prescribed?

9:04 am

welki

my grandmother lived in one of those high rises on rockaway blvd (pkwy?)

9:04 am

rubyfoo

we used to go to beach 35th St.

9:04 am

Bus to Jones Beach.

9:05 am

bichon

That wasn't too far. I still haven't gotten the sand out of my shoes. I feel great at the beach.

9:05 am

welki

no scrabbs - they were pathetic (but i suppose, given the right circumstances, they might have been okay for pike or musky)

9:05 am

rubyfoo

my fluffy bunny fly was white feathers

9:06 am

welki

it is rejuvenating, isn't it bichon? i feel my best on the beach

9:06 am

welki

ohhhh, jones beach!

9:06 am

rubyfoo

<--didn't tie it myself, but caught the fish, photographed it, and released, of course

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Isn't it neat how we have our personal refuges? For me it is the woods.

9:06 am

welki

still have the photo?

9:06 am

rubyfoo

you bet!

9:06 am

bichon

The sound of the surf, the gentle breeze, the seal gulls. Had a great time at the beach in Hawaii in Dec.

9:07 am

rubyfoo

and photos with the huge mackerels I used to catch off the Keys

9:07 am

welki

<-- could use a little personal refuge

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Where can you go, Welki?

9:07 am

rubyfoo

this is my refuge

9:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

Or a personal refugee.

9:07 am

bichon

I love to read at the beach, and of course, nap

9:07 am

rubyfoo

9:08 am

Scrabbler

True, Ruby. This is always available.

9:08 am

bichon

Gotta get going, bbl

9:16 am

rubyfoo

appropriate for St. Pat's Day

9:16 am

westford

we're all Irish today

9:16 am

kje

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 tspground black pepper plus additional for topping
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg white, beaten to blend

9:16 am

Scrabbler

I found it, ty

9:16 am

kje

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F.
Stir butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until melted and golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Stir flour, oats, sugar, rosemary, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl to blend. Pour buttermilk and melted browned butter over flour mixture; stir with fork until flour mixture is moistened.
Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead gently until dough comes together, about 7 turns. Divide in half. Shape each half into ball; flatten each into 6-inch round. Place rounds on ungreased baking sheet, spacing 5 inches apart. Brush tops with beaten egg white. Sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper. Using small sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch-deep X in top of each dough round.
Bake breads until deep golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool breads on rack at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note: You'll get the most tender soda bread by kneading the dough gently and briefly, just until it comes together, so the gluten is minimally developed.

9:16 am

jmcnrick

oh the rosemary is a nice touch

9:16 am

1:22 pm

1:30 pm

1:31 pm

Dorens

1:32 pm

jesdraggon

jesdraggon

1:33 pm

rururocks

ohmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

1:34 pm

Dorens

chanting ru?

1:34 pm

jesdraggon

if you care, the word i know for this same structure is lyssa-and i just double checked my anatomy book to be sure i wasn't crazy; according to Miller's Guide to Dissection of the Dog, it's lyssa.

1:34 pm

jesdraggon

so i'm only a little nuts :)

1:34 pm

jesdraggon

hi ruru

1:35 pm

Dorens

you have to be a little nuts to keep coming back here, yes? (particularly without lickety)

1:35 pm

westford

that must be a fun read

1:35 pm

rururocks

channeling peri doren..

1:35 pm

jesdraggon

indeedydo

1:35 pm

Dorens

hmmm, channeling peri doren. could be interesting

1:35 pm

jesdraggon

i don't re-read it often, west; it still smells like formalin from having it in the anatomy lab freshmen year...

1:36 pm

westford

the title gets me lol

1:36 pm

westford

I think the cats might like it

1:36 pm

Dorens

ewwww. formalin. just the thought is nauseating

1:36 pm

jesdraggon

it's one of the better one. i've got some other fun stuff though, like "Diseases of the Cat; Medicine & Surgery"

1:37 pm

cybernan

stuck at 166/79 - have company coming for Irish supper so need to get busy -- not sure I'll be back as I'm getting a little tired of these weird grids

1:37 pm

jesdraggon

and my personal favorite "Help! My Dog Has an Attitude!"

1:37 pm

westford

cooking is more fun nan..what's on the menu?

1:37 pm

jesdraggon

yes, that was a text book.

1:38 pm

westford

more like 'my cat has an attitude'

1:38 pm

rururocks

what cat doesn't have an attitude?

1:38 pm

cybernan

nothing fancy -- irish stew and cabbage, still have to dream up a dessert

1:38 pm

Dorens

oh so excited. i have greyed out the bottom row

1:39 pm

jesdraggon

1:39 pm

westford

something with green sprinkles?

1:39 pm

jesdraggon

beer

1:39 pm

Dorens

irish coffee!

1:39 pm

2:06 pm

hokie carla

warm in NC, too. only 75 today after several 80+ days last week.

2:06 pm

uusue2

this is almost 35F above normal, really unheard of

2:07 pm

Glantarell

are they gone on holiday, or?

2:07 pm

westford

are they worried about tornados where you are sue?

2:07 pm

uusue2

it is more like summer here, bichon, I have all the fans on and need to run the air conditioner in the car

2:07 pm

westford

not sure glan she just said she'd be off

2:07 pm

uusue2

not right now, west, although there were some thunderstorms early this morning just to the north of us

2:08 pm

bichon

I'm going to have to prune my roses. Don't usually do it for a couple more weeks. At this rate, we'll have forsythias soon

2:08 pm

westford

so scary

2:08 pm

uusue2

forsythias are out here

2:08 pm

hokie carla

Our forsythias bloomed in Jan. this year!

2:08 pm

forsythia and daffodils, dogwoods are all in blossom here

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

uusue2

2:09 pm

hokie carla

2:09 pm

westford

bye turq good job !!

2:09 pm

bichon

you must live in the deep south

2:09 pm

uusue2

I will bet that carla has some connection to Virginia Tech :-)

2:09 pm

hokie carla

haven't seen any dogwoods yet.

2:10 pm

hokie carla

yes, I went to VT. :-) grew up in Va, now in NC.

2:10 pm

hokie carla

so, not deep south.

2:10 pm

hokie carla

just really mild winter

2:11 pm

uusue2

well, I am in northern Illinois so NC and VA all look like pretty far south to me...

2:11 pm

bichon

No, definitely not. Hope this is not a precursor for a very hot summer

2:12 pm

bichon

Birds are really tweeting away today, especially the cardinals

2:12 pm

hokie carla

I think Alabama & Miss. are deep south. We're just mid-south, or I guess more often called mid-atlantic.

2:12 pm

rururocks

finally done with the s's

2:13 pm

uusue2

yay ruru!

2:13 pm

bichon

I think of VA and MD as Mid Atlantic, NC as mid south and MS and AL as Deep South

2:13 pm

hokie carla

yesterday I got a lot on my own, but today I'm just not seeing them. Only 56 so far.

2:13 pm

westford

have many more to go ruru..good for you !

Thanks :]

2:14 pm

MollyL

*Wipes out all the projected mojo for a hot summer* Folks, it's really okay to have a mild winter.

2:15 pm

uusue2

it's been 80 degrees here for the past 4 days, molly, that's a little beyond a mild winter. I'm not complaining, exactly (although it is kind of hot) but it is rather odd.

2:15 pm

westford

you said it molly !

2:15 pm

westford

the people with allergies will have a hard time I think

2:16 pm

MollyL

No, it's just different weather. Why do people pre-curse themselves for the next season just because the previous one didn't meet their expectations?

2:16 pm

hokie carla

yep, allergy season started earlier here for most

2:17 pm

uusue2

here too, carla

2:19 pm

bichon

But, I refuse to take off my flannel sheets til Memorial Day

2:19 pm

uusue2

ha, I said I wasn't going to use the car air conditioning in March, but gave in

2:20 pm

Glantarell

"when is memorial day bichon? here we have the saying 'ne'er cast a clout till may is out..."

2:21 pm

bichon

Last Monday in May

2:21 pm

Glantarell

about the same time then

2:21 pm

westford

what's a clout?

2:21 pm

bichon

Weather here usually goes up and down, but by the end of May, it's warm

2:21 pm

uusue2

from the National Weather Service - on average, Chicago sees an 80-degree day in March once every 14 years. We have had four of them in a row now, and will probably have at least one and maybe two or three more. Unprecedented to put it mildly.

2:21 pm

Glantarell

old word for clothes

2:22 pm

westford

thanks glan..was thinking it was a clod of earth

2:22 pm

Glantarell

it's also a wallop or smack

2:23 pm

westford

oh sure I've heard that

2:24 pm

MollyL

Okay, I give up. It's hard to beat negative thinking when that is the predominant force.

2:24 pm

hokie carla

alright, I found 12 more words, so now I'm going to go outside for a while. Good day!

2:24 pm

Glantarell

does anybody know if Ruby's dog (Max) ever turned up?

2:25 pm

Glantarell

what negative thinking Molly?

2:25 pm

bichon

No he didn't, but they have a new puppy Chow named Ruffino

2:25 pm

westford

I don't think so glan I do know the new puppy has arrived

2:25 pm

uusue2

I don't think so, Glant, but she has a new puppy now!

2:25 pm

Glantarell

such a shame - you wonder where such a big dog could disappear to

2:25 pm

ivesy3

people here are saying that our summer will be hot because we didnt have much of a winter.. i dont knowwhat one has to do with the other lol

2:26 pm

bichon

I think the dog had emotional problems

2:26 pm

bichon

Gardening is going to be hell. No "white fertilizer" here

2:27 pm

uusue2

and I am not trying to be negative, Molly; I am worried about what will happen to my fruit trees if we have a hard freeze now, since it's been so hot; for summer forecasts I look to the weather service but this far out they are notoriously unreliable. I am not thinking about summer at the moment.

2:27 pm

2:27 pm

Glantarell

dogs often have emotional problems if they are treated like indulged children rather than dogs - sometimes makes them feel they are the 'pack leader' and not all of them want to be

2:28 pm

ivesy3

was going to put some screens up today, thought better of it.. sure we will get cooler weather

2:28 pm

bichon

Ruby called him "autistic". What that means in a dog, I don't know. Do know he was taking Prozac

2:28 pm

Glantarell

never heard of a dog on prozac!

2:29 pm

westford

I hope he found a good home

2:29 pm

Glantarell

me too west

2:29 pm

westford

but more I hope he comes back to ruby

2:30 pm

Glantarell

i'm guessing that if he hasn't gone back by now then he is either unable to or doesn't wish to

2:30 pm

3:25 pm

cosdem

i'm also OCD in many ways --- i like using the same things everyday

el + sometimes vowel + amtrak is a ***in

Bichon - do you have a4.6 meaning loving painting or music. If so reverse it and add to el

4:58 pm

jesdraggon

4:58 pm

dawgers list is for yesterday - jacula has one for today

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the one that used the superlative

5:06 pm

OK

5:07 pm

so do I

5:07 pm

5:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

how is tomorrow?

5:09 pm

hootowl

Wow ! Didn't think it was that much difference

5:09 pm

lynxxx

T words are worse than c words, which are worse than vowel words

5:10 pm

ivesy3

which all are worse with no lickety

5:10 pm

lynxxx

Tomoorrow is lovely, vivid blue skies...Last day of the Grand Prix - they scored well

5:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

vowel words are nasty.

5:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We are still living your yesterday.

5:11 pm

MollyL

I agree Ivesy. It's too bad we are Lickety-less.

5:11 pm

hootowl

I have Mitchs list in my profile. I try to get it as soon as he makes it

5:12 pm

ivesy3

oh i appreciate all the lists, but with lickety as least i know what words are missing

5:12 pm

Stghraggling into the chog, a bit dilapidated. Feebly waving wilted shamrock at the assembled Babblers. Sappy Paint Hatricks Day.

5:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Have a seet.

5:12 pm

lynxxx

I just wish DrG would do a deal with Lickety to take Lickety version on...I would happily pay more to have it permanently

5:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

See how I avoided the PB?

5:12 pm

crosshair

i put some green food colouring in a large bottle of vodka to honor the day

5:13 pm

lynxxx

Good grief Soodle - you look very very bedraggled

5:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So would I. It's a good feature. Who IS dr God anyway?

5:13 pm

crosshair

lynxx,the early alpha shts of the new babble had a lickety style aide in it

5:13 pm

crosshair

shots

5:13 pm

MollyL

I have never understood why Lickety was not a "paid for" kind of thing. Lots of people would get on board for that.

5:13 pm

hootowl

Ivsey from day one I have printed it out and filled it in. Much easier then staring at a list with no gaps in it!

5:13 pm

lynxxx

Yeah, but I reckon it looks TOO much Cross

5:13 pm

LeslieAnn

it wasn't because lickety wanted to provide it for free

5:14 pm

ivesy3

i know.if someone is willing doesnt seem fair

5:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I only have used Lickety- other lists don't appeal. Why was it?

5:14 pm

MollyL

*Makes Soodle a cup of coffee and puts fluffy pillows all around*

5:15 pm

Soodle

marmalade, crutches, windowsills.

5:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yah, what is the Lickety tradition anyway? I would pay too.

5:15 pm

lynxxx

I don't believe Lickety would find it very honourable to charge for something that is not his (Babble) however I am sure he would be happy to do a deal with Jamie/DrG

5:15 pm

hootowl

resay

5:15 pm

cosdem

finally finished the 7s

5:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah- why not?

5:15 pm

crosshair

ty hoots

5:15 pm

MollyL

Lickety's list IS his. Paying to access it would be fine.

5:15 pm

cybernan

do 8, please?

5:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Bye Bye hootie

5:16 pm

hootowl

hi crossy - yw

5:16 pm

*Puts cold cloth on Soodle's head. Cues up Downton Abbey*

5:16 pm

has anyone heard from or seen mrp?

5:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, I would totally pay.

5:16 pm

cybernan

ty lynxxx

5:17 pm

cosdem

I have one R left but Im not bothering to find it til its the last word left because i don't feel like going thruall that R's :)

5:17 pm

lynxxx

But Lickety list is based on Babble - I think there would be ownership conflicts - certainly morally anyway - Jamie/DrG was not interested in taking on Licketys list as far as I knew

5:18 pm

Soodle

Thank you, thank you thank you Molly. St Patrick can rest easy in his grave. He was well and truly toasted and toasted and cheered this evening. :0(

5:18 pm

LeslieAnn

good job soodle!

5:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't really understand the moral complexity, but I don't know the whole history, or who Jamie is, or how it all began...

5:19 pm

cosdem

that reminds me. i gotta text a friend to see if he's picking me up for tonight's festivites

5:19 pm

MollyL

Anyone who has generated a word solving program like Lickety did can use it to solve on line games. No ownership conflicts, just Lickety being graceful about providing his list for free.

5:20 pm

ivesy3

why cant he let others generate then. thats what i dont understand..

5:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It is very nice of Lickety, and I think it is a good feature.

5:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

?????????????????/

5:21 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't understand the question ivesy. creating a program to solve babble puzzles is certainly not exclusive to lickety

5:21 pm

MollyL

I don't understand that either Ivesy. It would seem to be a good thing to sell to someone who could do it on a consistent basis.

5:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have one k left.

5:22 pm

lynxxx

Anybody can - and they do occassionally Ivesy. No-one is stopping Lickety/MrP from doing it know - it is simply not always convenient for them to produce the list

5:22 pm

MollyL

LA, I find it exclusive to Lickety. Have you found any other program on the net that solves this grid, and creates a list like Lickety did?

5:22 pm

ivesy3

true leslie.. so why hasnt anyone done it.. i know i couldnt becuz im not that computer literate for things like that

5:22 pm

Soodle

<----m

5:23 pm

LeslieAnn

have i found one? no, but i haven't looked. i'm just saying it's not proprietary

5:23 pm

MollyL

*Draws a hot, lavender laced bath for Soodle*

5:23 pm

lynxxx

Before Licketys List BranyJack used to do the same list and put it on BabAnon...not quite as sophisticated as Licketys though

5:24 pm

ivesy3

ok.. i undestand that mrp cant do it all the time. they have problems.. but couldnt someone else take over

5:24 pm

LeslieAnn

right, it was mostly like the lists in people's profiles now

5:24 pm

lynxxx

(BrandyJack)

5:24 pm

MollyL

I've looked and I haven't found anything like Lickety's program. It's exclusive to him and so is Expert. In my opinion.

5:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

so again- why can't Dr God or whomever just adapt the list making program?

5:24 pm

Soodle

Admitting defeat. Good night all, and enjoy the rest of your St Patricks Day festivities.

5:24 pm

lynxxx

sleep well Soodle

5:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Expert is great.

5:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sleep it off, Soodle.

5:25 pm

lynxxx

Lickety approached Jamie/DrG - but he wasn't interested

5:25 pm

MollyL

*Sprinkles leprechaun dust over Soodle*

5:25 pm

ivesy3

without lickety list, this is becoming more of a chore than a fun word game.

5:25 pm

cybernan

heavens - thought I must have found all the ly's -- missing the first 3!

5:25 pm

LeslieAnn

well, contact dr. g and ask, then

5:25 pm

lynxxx

ly & ***s and crafts

5:26 pm

cosdem

ta6.18 after the ta5 (to eat)?

5:26 pm

cybernan

got all 3 - ty

5:26 pm

MollyL

Again, I don't understand why Jamie has to have a say in this. A separate board that includes Lickety's list and Expert, with a pay to view feature. I have yet to figure out why that didn't happen years ago.

5:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I guess I should just ask, LeslieAnn. It never occurred to me.

5:27 pm

lynxxx

ly & books of maps atl***s

5:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is there an authority thing?

5:27 pm

cybernan

molly it is based upon babble and as a support to babble, which is jamie's creation

5:28 pm

MollyL

There is no copyright on Babble. I'm just surprised that what started out as a courtesy, has not evolved from that. I'll shut up now.

5:28 pm

cybernan

as a rule, honourable web designers do not steal from each other

5:28 pm

ivesy3

me too.. guess its my choice to play with or without lickety.

5:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

IT'S A PUZZLE

5:29 pm

cybernan

there is too much piracy going on as it is

5:29 pm

lynxxx

Nicely put Nan

5:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have no idea how it all began, being a relatively new interloper.

5:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So I am really just asking, not challenging.

5:30 pm

LeslieAnn

ar6?

5:30 pm

crosshair

i am sure it was jamie/DRg turning a leinient eye to licketys

5:31 pm

cosdem

has to do with the heart, leslie

5:31 pm

as he knows it was heling us and enriching his game

5:31 pm

hi Welki

5:31 pm

crosshair

howdy welki

5:31 pm

LeslieAnn

hey welki

5:32 pm

MollyL

Wait, I will shut up after I say this. We were promised "New Babble" that was supposed to have lots of bells and whistles, including Lickety's list. That never happened. And it's not piracy to generate a word puzzle solver. Done.

5:32 pm

welki

never realized how much i like the aroma of simmering corned beef - dinner rolls rising, going to be a good night :)

5:32 pm

LeslieAnn

ooh that sounds good welki

5:32 pm

crosshair

easy molly,i am sure dr g never thought "piracy"

5:32 pm

crosshair

mmm corned beefs...

5:33 pm

MollyL

I didn't say piracy, Nan did.

5:34 pm

welki

<-- is grateful for this game, regardless of the bells and whistles. where else can you get such good bang for your buck?

5:34 pm

lynxxx

I don't believe that 'Licketys list' was included in the new version of Babble - just list on each letter when you selected it. Very cumbersome

5:34 pm

crosshair

how did you prep your corned beef welki,the top deli shops marinate for a week or more in secret sauces and such

5:34 pm

LeslieAnn

does do8 build off of do6?

5:34 pm

crosshair

well said welki

5:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

yeah.

5:35 pm

lynxxx

Yes Leslie

5:35 pm

welki

lol - this is easy peasy corned beef, crossy - throw it all in a pot and simmer away. i have to put the veggies in in just a few minutes (and the buns in the oven)

5:35 pm

crosshair

mmmmm..god thats sounds sooooo good:)

5:36 pm

crosshair

nice spicy dijon /honey mustard..mmm dark rye bread...

5:36 pm

welki

smells heavenly - and i promised a certain fella that i'd make him a mochatini (which really isn't a tini at all)

5:36 pm

welki

i have sprouted bread for sandwiches tomorrow - and a good brown mustard

5:37 pm

crosshair

drool...

5:37 pm

lynxxx

No no - you have got to have a white sauce with corned beef - made from the water the cauliflower is cooked in

5:37 pm

welki

comfort food. if i didn't know better, i'd think i was nesting. last week was a huge pot of beef stew

5:38 pm

welki

i cook it with cabbage, lynxx, but that sauce sounds gooooooood

5:38 pm

jesdraggon

*wanders back in* 8 left

5:39 pm

5:41 pm

welki

halibut is delicious, so expensive, though

5:41 pm

crosshair

they were amazing welki,but i will tone back a tad on the butter next time:)

5:41 pm

welki

clever to put them on a spoon to limit how far you slice them

5:42 pm

jesdraggon

nm, found it

5:42 pm

welki

good, because even though i have them all, jess, i couldn't figure out which one you needed!! lol

5:42 pm

crosshair

i would cut the tater in thin slices but still attached as listed before,but then brush peanut oil on and bake for 45 min,unadorned by butter or cheese,after 45 min,take out and lightly brush with butter and sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar and bake for 10 min more,then add sour cream and chives or bacon bits and serve

5:43 pm

crosshair

yes welki,the sppon handle was a nice guide

basted in peanut oil and using a low fat sharp cheddar ,i am sure they will work for those who are slimming as well

6:39 pm

they come out all fanned open and crispy and golden brown,then the grated sharp cheddar and back into the oven till the cheese bubbles,then some nice sour cream and chives...mmm

6:39 pm

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

Red---less stressful, for sure. Less challenging and stimulating. What are you thinking?

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

I would be responsible for the entire hospital, so I think more stressful. and lots of interesting data collection and the chance to impact a huge amount of people...

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

I stopped that obsessive need to finish a few yrs ago, but I recall frantically trying to finish at 12AM so I could go to bed.

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

AND a normal work schedule, so I could train better...

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

But no codes, no trauma emergencies, etc.

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

Better pay?

7:36 pm

8:12 pm

if we get a hard freeze now (which would not be in the least unusual) a lot of trees and plants will suffer...won't see much fruit this year if that happens

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

wht, I recall a snowstorm on a Mother's Day several yrs ago. It was May 8th.

8:13 pm

lbdawger

we've had snow on the 4th of July as well as in august.

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Sue, I am worried about the plants.

8:14 pm

snow is not unusual in April here, and hard freezes in early May are not unusual either - five or six 80+ days in March are unheard of, but here they are!

on the other hand the parks are full of walkers and joggers, and when the students come back tomorrow they will be sunbathing for sure!

8:18 pm

Well, the local sap collectors will suffer.

I got a new bunny 7 wks ago--an over 2 yr old male that a family wanted to get rid of. A friend heard about him and called me. He is brown with white paws. I changed his name from Pancakes to Gulliver.

8:29 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - did he notice the name change?:-)

8:31 pm

Scrabbler

He was very grateful to no longer be called Pancakes and Mr Pancakes. The name was degrading, he said. Actually I named him Sir Gulliver Rabbit, so he likes the noble name.

I was not an as 5/18 of clues, however,I'll be a provider of one with a story.When I was in high school,there was this kid, named Te5/14, who wo5/20 me at school. He wanted to go out with me quite badly. Although he had nice ey 4/6 to look at, his ego got in the way. The first time he asked me out he said to me, "I want to ra 6/18 your chain.Will you go out with me tonight?"He thought he was being funny but I thought he was wi 7/44. That stupid line er5/10d any ideas of me going out with him. But he wouldn't leave me alone. He was an as 8/40 and as 6/18 that he was the perfect guy for me. He said if I did not believe me, his friends could at 6/18 to the fact that he was a great guy. Even though I told him he was a stuck up snob, he kept on re 8/40ing himself to me. I would have to re5/14 to him that I was not interested. I didn't make it ea 4/6 for this kid when he asked me out Whenever he asked me out on a date, I would make up an excuse and say I had something el4/4 to do.He even tried to bribe me to go out with him.He told me that if I went out with him, he'd give me his car ke 4/10 and let me drive his Mercedez Benz. But that didn't work. Then he said that if I let him be a ki 6/30 and allow him to ki 4/8 me just one time,he'd never ask me out again.That didn't work either. He was finally wi4/8 enough to give up on me after a ye4/6 of rejections from me. Now I'm going to get out of this se 4/4 & re7/28 to my bedroom to watch TV for the re 4/4 of the night. I will be return to this websi4/4 tomorrow to se4/8 words in the puzzle

CiociaJudy

and how about a clue for the do8

9:20 pm

HarryHood

I got the te8, but missing the re8 and the do8 :)

9:21 pm

Jacula

Pickles - for the te8/40 - think of a woman's name from a Thomas Hardy novel - she came from The d'Urbervilles. Then add a period of time when something was popular ***, then add a vowel to end it.

9:21 pm

HarryHood

te + double snakes + a****** (to add air to a fishtank)

9:22 pm

Jacula

do8 is an architctural term - add the alien who wanted to 'phone home to the end of the hobo who sleeps wherever he can.

9:22 pm

Picklesny
