Ankhorite

I do have a gold hamster on a purple background, if this isn't purple enough. This leans towards blue, a bit. (reload to see me) What's our goal, solid purple? Royal purple? And why are we doing this?

12:28 am

helenkeller

ROFL again

12:29 am

jillibus

ankh -- it's fran's favourite colour

12:29 am

Dispatch

forgive me for sounding...hum...simple minded...but what does ROFL mean???

12:29 am

jillibus

ankh - the ankh is gorgeous

12:29 am

Ankhorite

Well, perhaps I am too blue, then. Do you see me? Ah, Jilli, you like it? Thank you!

12:30 am

12:31 am

jillibus

thanks, mrp

12:31 am

SummerRose

12:31 am

12:34 am

TeaNCrackers

Erda

12:37 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Summer, it's really easy. Go to "MY ACCOUNT" at upper right, and you'll see your current picture. Click EDIT there. Then, it will let you fill in the http:// address for whatever picture you liked from your google search.

12:37 am

SummerRose

I got the ha7 and you can have it, but I don't know how to clue it....ha+ "new" + male person...

debbinla

12:39 am

jillibus

hi Lickety and thanks for all the work you do!

12:40 am

Ankhorite

Thank you, Jilli. I am fortunate that the internet will *always* provide something for my name; and that I have quite the backlog of hamster photos. :)

12:41 am

Ankhorite

As a former Windy City denizen, that CHGO is driving me nuts, I can't see anything around it. Helen, is it bugging you, too?

12:41 am

Ankhorite

Oh! Hi, Lickety, thank you! and hi everyone else I missed, whups.

12:42 am

helenkeller

yep ankh, i mentioned it very early on - that & chagal(l) who has a mural dowtown

12:43 am

Ankhorite

12:45 am

chic

Hi helen and Jilli!

12:45 am

kierlex

hi all!

12:45 am

Ankhorite

Hi, Chic! You mean behind the hamster, or are you still seeing the icon I had before that, the all-purple one?

12:46 am

kierlex

could someone remind me where to check for the icon theme?

12:46 am

cybernan

Finally got to 80 words --- finding it really tough going tonight. Think I'll call it a day :)

12:46 am

Ankhorite

If you have Babbler on your friends list, click her name there. Or find her in Who's Online, but I'm not sure she is. Is there somewhere else to look? Night, Nan!

12:46 am

helenkeller

babbler has the icon themes in her profile

12:46 am

cybernan

look at babbler's profile kierlex

12:47 am

jillibus

If you put Babbler in your "My Friends" she tells you every day and lists future one. Also, on Lickety's page, you can click on Icon Themes

12:48 am

jillibus

nan, your cake for frans looks too delicious

12:48 am

jillibus

nan -- I'm glad to hear you're finding this tough because I am, very much so!

12:49 am

SummerRose

couldn't get pic- said image file was in unknown formwt....

12:49 am

Ankhorite

I didn't know that about Lickety's page. And here's my perennial Lickety Commercial: if you are using the page, remember to click some of the ad links at right -- even if you flip right back, he makes some fraction of a penny towards the cost of running the site. :)

12:50 am

helenkeller

nan, stuck right alongside you with 86, turning in sounds good to me, maybe fresh eyes will see more

12:50 am

Ankhorite

Great hat, Helen. Rose, I'm sorry... want more coaching? Via email or here?

12:51 am

SummerRose

Here= why can't you copy and paste pic?

12:51 am

kierlex

thanks everyone! i am way out of practice...

12:51 am

jillibus

summer, if you find a pic you like in Google Images, right-click on it and choose Save As.. I can send you a fuller explanation if you email me (see my profile)

12:52 am

Ankhorite

phantom: bingo, bingos
Well, because Dr. God didn't set it up that way, Rose. But you should be able to copy and paste the URL of the pic... or do what Jilli says! :)

12:52 am

helenkeller

lol ankh, how many icons have you tried on so far, 4,5,6? LOL

12:52 am

SummerRose

okay, I'll try that...

12:52 am

mrpresident

12:52 am

jillibus

Haz1558

Haz1558

3:21 am

Haz1558

(Trying to remember all the old comics.... We liked the Bunty for the cut-out dolls, but I'm trying to remember which comic 'The Four Marys' appeared in.

3:21 am

lynxxx

hello all

3:21 am

Haz1558

Good evening lynxxx - how are you?

3:22 am

FMitch

Hi Lynxxx

3:23 am

lynxxx

Good - except for just arriving home from work at 8.30 - it does get in the way ! Hi FM

3:24 am

Haz1558

Flask - are you still here?

3:24 am

sunny09

hi Lynxxx, daylight saving makes it very late at times.

3:26 am

lynxxx

Hi Sunny - certainly takes a little while to acclimatise the internal clock!

3:27 am

FMitch

I agree with that Lynxx, my body clock still hasn't adjusted, inact it's telling me it is time to hibernate.

3:28 am

Haz1558

You just want an excuse to secrete yourself away with the greek god of love. I see he's back.

3:29 am

FMitch

Hibernation must be foremost as I hadn't noticed him - that just says it all!!!

3:29 am

Haz1558

Poor soul, waiting for you to spot him!

3:29 am

lynxxx

??!!! pssst - tell me more Haz - what has FM been up to? oh no, its the grid you are talking about isn't it!

3:30 am

Haz1558

Oh my lips are sealed, lynxxx!

3:37 am

Haz1558

It's a pity it doesn't accept ahum - a beehive is all ahum.

3:38 am

FMitch

Sorry about that, phone call.
LOL Haz

3:39 am

Haz1558

It just shows that I'm grasping at straws. This grid is not easy!

3:39 am

FMitch

I haven't found a new word in the last 15 mins, it is definately not an easy one.

3:41 am

Haz1558

I had high hopes for 'ganch', a Scottish word we use for one who talks rubbish. Alas, it's not accepted.

3:41 am

saphyre

easy words that are hard to find

3:41 am

FMitch

There is a lovely g7/40 singular of an old fashioned wellington

3:42 am

Haz1558

Thank you!

3:42 am

lynxxx

3:53 am

Biltong

yw, FMitch

3:53 am

rosalind230

sorry

3:53 am

Bloodaxe

i think i'm still a little too tired for the grid this morning.
i had a late night celebrating the great victories back home.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Not a Bush fan, then?

3:55 am

Bloodaxe

i wouldn't say i'm not a fan of him. he's rather quirky and entertaining. but i don't agree with the vast majority of his policies and a democracy isn't much of a democracy when one party controls all branches of the government.

3:56 am

Haz1558

Try telling that to Tony Blair!

3:56 am

Bloodaxe

plus, i definately am NOT a rumsfield fan. his resingation was the best news i had heard all year.

3:56 am

lynxxx

if the US people her are any guage, then I don't think he has one supporter! whenever his name has been mentioned over the last few months it just causes this huge surge of derision and hatred, I have been amazed at the reactions

3:57 am

Haz1558

Is Faeriekae not on his side?

3:57 am

FMitch

faerie stood up for him very strongly in one discussion a few months back

3:58 am

Bloodaxe

this may sound a little arrogant and mean, but i think that most americans who appreciate other cultures and travel generally are more open minded and therefore not members of the republican party.

3:58 am

Haz1558

A lo4/4 supporter, then!

3:58 am

lynxxx

I honestly can't remember one person with a kind word to say about Bush. .... I must have missed that then FM

3:58 am

Bloodaxe

he does have a strong base in the states, but his policies haven't made being an american abroad very easy.

3:59 am

lynxxx

TY for those 3 Haz !

3:59 am

Haz1558

I can imagine, Bloodaxe.

3:59 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, lynxxx!

4:01 am

Bloodaxe

speaking of blair haz, has he given in and set a date for his resignation?

4:01 am

Haz1558

You must be joking. Not while Cherie has breath in her body.

4:01 am

Haz1558

He has hinted that it will be at a time of his choosing sometime next year.

4:01 am

Bloodaxe

haha...i didn't think so. but he did say it would be sometime this year, right?

4:02 am

Bloodaxe

ok.

4:02 am

saphyre

If I spoke politics in "social" gatherings you would hear quite a few good words about Bush from me, but this is where I have fun, not discuss politics

4:04 am

Bloodaxe

well last night we drank a lot of beer, smoked some cuban cigars, and had a good time.

4:04 am

Haz1558

And your head this morning is clear and functioning well, you said?

4:05 am

Bloodaxe

but saph, dicussing politics IS fun. at least for me. i guess that's why i'm a political science major.

4:05 am

lynxxx

I understand saph - but I haven't minded the conversations at all. they give a fantastc 'true' insight to the various countries that you don't get elsewhere.

4:05 am

Bloodaxe

hahaha..not quite haz, but i'm definately in a good mood.

4:06 am

Haz1558

There was an article in the paper yesterday indicating that the younger you are, the less you suffer from a hangover. Make the most of it while you are young - a few years from now, you'll not feel quite so chirpy after a night like last night!

4:06 am

saphyre

well then enjoy the conversation - but to make general statements insinuating that asll babblers are against Bush is ignorant.

4:07 am

Haz1558

And it's time I was off - RDA this morning and my duties await. Back later!

4:07 am

saphyre

bye Haz

4:07 am

6:42 am

Merk

Speaking of grids, I only know two aa 4 words. The first one aa4,5 ... mine won't go there because I cannot get to the plural. Is there one I've never learned?

6:43 am

jimmack

Only the 3rd letter is different in the aa4 words.

6:43 am

Lain

sand use lickety's list lol

6:44 am

Merk

That pretty much narrows it down to the same third letter that in the word that I know. Must be a weird ending then.

6:45 am

Merk

Oh, I guess there is another possibility.

6:45 am

jimmack

Merk, make sure you're looking at all the options for the starting letter.

6:46 am

Dorens

hi annie and blood

11:00 am

spanner

Haz wheres spangle gone?

11:01 am

Haz1558

Dorens - it's a sore point that it is better not to start a grid rather than start and not complete it. Get a sick note from your doctor and see if Dr-God has a heart.

11:01 am

Haz1558

Spangle is fine, spanner! It's purple for FranMag's birthday.

11:01 am

WOW thats different Dorens

11:25 am

Bloodaxe

Wow. I've never heard of a wedding reception at an aquarium. That's very unique. Was this recent?

11:26 am

Dorens

particularly since the aquarium is built heightwise around a huge shark tank in the center...so you can wander up a circular ramp to the top floor.....sseven years ago....they are different sorts of people though. it was actually a double wedding, her sister married at the same time.. service was at harvard memorial church...needed somewhere else for the party, and what a party!

11:27 am

smooth -- it's ok but could be friendlier if you smiled a bit and looked toward the camera -- IMHO

2:48 pm

helenkeller

smooth - lol, k, since you asked, you def don't look angry, the pic does indeed show your face, doesn't really look like a mugshot, but you kind of look like you've just seen something scary, but not terrible, like, let's say, oh , your first child just being born - my suggestion, let's see some teeth - ie, a great big smile :)

2:48 pm

kthdsn

so there are only those 2 aa's right?

8:32 pm

jillibus

ornith -- I clicked on the ? beside the ha7 and found this: Hindu Mythology. a monkey chief who is a conspicuous figure in the Ramayana. And there is a TV news reporter in this area with that first name!

8:32 pm

lbdawger

kthdns, yes only 2 aa's

8:33 pm

kthdsn

oh good then I have them both

8:33 pm

Ornith

jilli, yeah, I'd heard of the (proper noun) monkey myth. apparently there's an actual type of monkey too

8:34 pm

Ornith

as for the reporter, is he Indian? they tend to use names from Hinduism.

8:34 pm

brennx0r

manga?

8:34 pm

jillibus

Yes, tough puzz;e. I had set this day aside to pay some (lots of) bills and things but didn't get any done.

8:35 pm

Ornith

brenn, you'd think so, but no. It doesn't recognize "ramen", either! (but it does recognize "nori", the seaweed around sushi... go figure)

8:35 pm

jillibus

Yes, ornith, there are many east indians in this area.

8:35 pm

lbdawger

I finished the grid whilst waiting for my class to start. maybe it's a good thing they didn't show up. lol

8:35 pm

brennx0r

bah for incomplete dictionaries!

8:36 pm

jillibus

and dictionaries full of slang

8:36 pm

lbdawger

and made up words

8:36 pm

kthdsn

it won't let me have sheba either

8:36 pm

Ornith

wait until you see what it DOES include, brenn. but yeah, it's pretty capricious. You'll see stuff like redo, doer, but not redoer.

8:37 pm

Ornith

kthdsn, it's a proper noun. not that I didn't try it too.

8:37 pm

jillibus

lbd -- are you a brit even though you live in the USA? "Whilst" is soooo Brit

8:37 pm

Ornith

and it's got all sorts of weird -man compounds (gasman, etc), but not "hitman"

8:38 pm

brennx0r

*weeps*

8:38 pm

lbdawger

Jilli, i just have a lot of brit friends. I also had a Brit English teacher growing up, and now i spell a lot of things like the English...humour, behaviour...

8:39 pm

jillibus

well, I guess if all the words were familiar we wouldn't be asking for clues and making new friends

8:39 pm

Ornith

or5 please

8:39 pm

kthdsn

well if you insist on stealing our language you should spell stuff correctly :D

8:39 pm

Ornith

it's one thing to have archaic words in, but I wish it were a little more consistent!
