Merci Metal!

5:24 am

mattygroves

Love the clue, metal - shows something about me, I guess, that I got it straight away with it!

5:24 am

mattygroves

LOL

5:24 am

metaleather

it helps open the sinuses, and promotes release of mucus/promotes mucus drainage

5:24 am

ConXshun

nice addition! I'll remember that, ty metal!

5:25 am

metaleather

some folks can't tolerate the cayenne though, so put just a tiny bit

5:25 am

ConXshun

I'll bear it in mind.... (I hope!)

5:26 am

well, one thing's for sure... if you don't remember the first time you add it, you certainly will the second time

5:26 am

thankyou Con. I will give it a try cough,sneeze da**

5:29 am

Ah, you changed a vowel. got it. thanks.

you're most welcome hodag... oh, did I forget to say you're supposed to have plenty of Kleenexes nearby?

5:33 am

Merk

The an 5 reminds me of the di5,14 ... same ending.

5:33 am

P.J.

trust me I do!!! If only I could blow.

5:35 am

metaleather

if worse comes to worse, you can always sniff a bit of cayenne.... the irritation caused by the pepper stimulates mucus production in the nasal area. I'd save that for a last resort though since it can burn like hellfire

5:37 am

P.J.

holy hellfire Bat-metal. my face would melt!!!!!lol

5:38 am

metaleather

it very well might. that's why you save that for a last resort and use a very small bit of cayenne

5:39 am

metaleather

I'd rather just eat a bunch of peppers myself, enough of them make my eyes water and my nose run

5:41 am

P.J.

sniff sniff,cough,I'm sure that would work but I hate peppers!!!

5:41 am

mrpresident

OR, there is the SOUP!!

5:42 am

metaleather

do you have any Carmex, or Vick's? sometimes you can rub a bit of that just at the edges of your nostrils and it'll help you breathe a bit better, plus the Carmex soothes the rawness your nose can sometimes get

5:42 am

P.J.

I eat a lot of soup!!!!

5:42 am

metaleather

soup's always a good choice

5:43 am

metaleather

as is tea, especially peppermint

5:43 am

mrpresident

hodag, will go find the SOUP! recipe

Mr. P.....the chicken stock this recipe mentions... is that soup base, a very concentrated thing, almost like a paste? or is it a rich, thick broth?

5:52 am

Merk

interesting recipe, the combinations are enticing

5:53 am

mrpresident

metal, it is gourmet granules, makes a lovely rich broth

5:53 am

metaleather

also, how long does one cook the soup... just until the veggies and chicken are done?

5:53 am

metaleather

ok, ty

5:53 am

mrpresident

Merk, if you hate ginger, put in lemongrass! very nice!

5:54 am

mrpresident

and, always always add a touch of soy sauce and fish sauce if you make it with fish!

5:54 am

Eva

good morning all. Mrp, the ginger sounds like a great touch.

5:54 am

P.J.

I just coppied that off,it has a lot more things in it then mine ty.lol

5:55 am

mrpresident

metal, I simmer it for about 1 hour, then let it rest... simmer again for about 1/2 an hour and into the bowls it goes

5:55 am

Eva

tarragon or basil would be nice too

5:55 am

mrpresident

5:57 am

Eva

I always feel like a traitor to my heritge, because usally chicken soup leaves me less than interested, but your recipe sounds quite a bit zippier. Another direction to go, which would include previous suggestions, would be to put some poblano chilis in, and make it southwestern

I also find ginger tea helpful-just grating a lot of fresh ginger, steeping it in boiled water for about ten minutes, straining and sipping. but have to admit that nothing beats nose drops for being able to sleep. Only problem is you can't use them for more than a few days.

6:01 am

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Grief takes time, lots of time, and it cannot be rushed. Don't forget to have an attitude of gratitude--everynight remind yourself of at least 3 things to be grateful for.

7:55 am

evanonut

it's good to be hopeless, and it's good to be distracted, so you're good rip

7:56 am

Tiny

yeah I sure do tonight anyway

7:56 am

Babs1

the book is all about how we attract what we think about....the contrast in our lives is a clue to start imagining what we want more of and when the thought makes you feel good, that's what begins to show up in your life...

7:56 am

pam

hmmm, sounds intriguing

7:56 am

ConXshun

It's like 'ask and you shall be given'. We mostly forget to ASK!

7:56 am

Wolvie

hi Babs

7:56 am

pam

will have to look at it.. thanks....

7:57 am

Babs1

YW, pam...HI Wolvie!

7:57 am

evanonut

i don't think i'd want to understand myself that well babs, if i walked around knowing who i'd be attracted to, i'd avoid everyone at work who fit the profile.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

I was just checking "The Law of Attraction" on Amazon--by Michael Losier. Looks great and I added it to my wish list. TY for the suggestion!

7:58 am

Babs1

hm...evanout, perhaps you'd start noticing more the ones you particularly like....

7:58 am

ConXshun

Ok - bye all then. Have fun, do well and see you next time! *poof*

7:58 am

7:59 am

Babs1

Well...There's Losier's book, which is good...Law of Attraction and then there's the The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks who are the authors that Losier studied and many others like Wayne Dyer who teach and practice these concepts...

8:00 am

evanonut

ingethesecond, did you just wink at my hubbynut?

8:00 am

Scrabbler

I saw that there were 2 books of the same name--Losier's "attracted" me more.

8:00 am

LoriP

There goes our family rating....

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Is the Hicks book better?

8:01 am

evanonut

losiers must have studied attraction better then.

8:01 am

o-o

why, doesn't attraction lead to families?

8:01 am

Inge2

I did, evan

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Yes, BR. LOL

8:02 am

LoriP

LOL Babble

8:02 am

evanonut

just checking ingethesecond, he's in the next room and didn't see anyway.

8:02 am

Inge2

no attraction, I guess

8:03 am

Babs1

The Hicks book is fuller coverage of the subject...Great gift to yourself or others for the New Year!

8:03 am

pam

scrabbler, i looked at both on amazon, and the losier book, on the surface of it, seems more "me"

8:03 am

pam

hmmm, babs, maybe they complement each other?

8:04 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Pam--but maybe I'll get both. So many books, so little time!!!

8:04 am

o-o

and, mayhap, even compliment each other

8:04 am

Babs1

then....if you want to do journaling and practice these principles, there's www.15minutemiracle.com....

hurshy

10:28 am

hurshy

i don't use the list unless i'm in a hurry, i usually use clues but have on occasion gone without for an extra challenge.

10:28 am

Babs1

wow! at...you don't use dictionary lookups or any such crutches?

10:28 am

Atalante

no!

10:28 am

Atalante

I sometimes use the list when Hurshy and I get *really* stuck LOL

10:29 am

Babs1

whew! that's impressive for sure!!

10:29 am

hurshy

i used the list more, and morewords.com, when i first started babbling, but as you play longer you start to not need them.

10:29 am

Babs1

are hurshy and you connected at the hip across the ocean??

10:29 am

hurshy

TrickyRic

10:41 am

Babs1

Thanks deeha and at...she's right here, been looking at at's gallery...she wonders how easy it is to set up a deviant art site?

10:41 am

Atalante

very easy :) just create an account and start uploading pics!

10:42 am

Babs1

sounds easy...just like googlepages!

10:42 am

Babs1

did you go to art school or self-taught?

10:42 am

Atalante

yup :) dA has its own distinctive style, which is a bit non-intuitive, I think, but you quickly get used to it and its a great site

10:43 am

smooth_pappa

AT, I like your work

10:43 am

Deeha

Couldnt see yours Atalante when I tried to open IO just got to deviantart homepage??? I might put some of mine on if it is that easy!!

10:43 am

smooth_pappa

just a subtle hint of celticism... </sarcasm>

10:43 am

Babs1

izzy has lots of interests in the arts..so looking for ways she can be mentored or do internships or whatever to help her figure out what direction to go...

10:43 am

smooth_pappa

;)

10:44 am

Atalante

I did art in school, but that was it. I mean English school, not American school level!

10:44 am

Atalante

this should get through to mine, deeha: http://elegaer.deviantart.com/

10:44 am

Babs1

mmm..then did you start doing artwork for companies or individuals or is this a hobby?

10:45 am

TrickyRic

am i the only one here that can't draw? lol

10:45 am

hurshy

nope, tricky, i can't either :)

10:46 am

smooth_pappa

nope ric... not at all!

10:46 am

Atalante

I'm doing commissions more and more, and I'm going to be starting getting a bit more professional about it this next year (hopefully!)

10:46 am

Dorens

I have absolutely no artistic skills whatsoever

10:46 am

smooth_pappa

I draw a straight line curved, and an ar straight. lol

10:46 am

TrickyRic

well yay, lol

10:47 am

smooth_pappa

but I do handle my own on the carmera, ric

10:48 am

o-o

I have to label a stickman

10:48 am

TrickyRic

i can't remember the last time i used a camera, at least a proper camera anyway

10:48 am

what's the other j besides enlisting and dope?

10:48 am

TrickyRic

lol rabble

10:49 am

o-o

j = denims

10:49 am

Atalante

and I do photography, more as a hobby, but I've sold a good few works to various places over the years too. I love my camera just about as much as my pencils

10:49 am

hurshy

cheer up sleepy je4, oh what can it mean... to a... daydream believer and a homecoming queeeeeeeen

10:49 am

10:49 am

Dorens

10:49 am

thanks!

10:49 am

hurshy

tricky: my definition of art is: if i could do it, it's not art.

10:49 am

smooth_pappa

HA Hurshy! lol

10:49 am

smooth_pappa

I'll have to remeber that. .lol

10:49 am

lol dorens!

10:50 am

TrickyRic

lol hursh

10:50 am

o-o

you certainly have captured the dark side ... the feeling wass almost palpable

10:51 am

Atalante

the dark side is gooood :)

10:51 am

TrickyRic

i got myself a graphic tablet for my development system hoping it would help me draw - instead it helped me draw to the level i could on paper, which isn't enough

10:51 am

o-o

if someone can toss a can of paint on a sheet and sell it ... well

10:51 am

hurshy

you only think that because you love hayden

10:51 am

Deeha

not true Hurshy. I was terrible when I started I am not much better now but I call what I do illustration rather than art!!

10:52 am

Atalante

hayden definitely helps! but I drew a Sith recently that wasn't Hayden!!

10:52 am

Deeha

remember the pile of coal the Tate bought. In the mean time the 'artist' died so his wife came over and rearranged it!! Are they having a laugh???

10:52 am

hurshy

darth maul? he's so scary looking

10:53 am

Atalante

DArth Talon, she's from SW extended universe

10:53 am

hurshy

ahhh.

10:53 am

smooth_pappa

lol ric, I was thinking about getting a graphic tablet... but for photoshop... you can make such precise alterations with a tablet, as opposed to a mouse, but I've worried that my manual dexterity will cause more harma than good if I were to get one. lol

10:53 am

Denny

my whole is house is art - unmade beds - outside shed - kiddies artwork!!! LOL

10:53 am

Deeha

Again I am stuck on last no - I have twiggy one and french colour but am stuck on last one??

10:54 am

Atalante

tablets rock

10:54 am

TrickyRic

i use gimp not photoshop, as i don't have a windows system. the tilt and pressure sensitivity is superb under gimp though

10:54 am

hurshy

can i ask you guys something? what IS the point of email spam?? i mean, nobody ever reads it, much less buys anything because of it, right? so why do they waste their time annoying us???

10:54 am

smooth_pappa

deeha... switch the last two letterss of the french one

10:55 am

Atalante

people do though, hurshy

10:55 am

smooth_pappa

I've heard the same about using a tablet with PS, as well

10:55 am

Deeha

-Got it pappa many thanks. What am I going to do for the rest of the evening?!! A drawing perhaps!!

10:55 am

hurshy

who are these people that buy things from spam?

10:56 am

Atalante

strange silly people

10:56 am

inge

1`Hurshy, I heard a discussion about spam last week. When they send out a million spams and only two people bite, they are ahead

10:57 am

Deeha

Enjoyed the chat this afternoon it gave me sometging to thing about. Back tomorrow

10:57 am

hurshy

i think we should find an empty plot of land and just isolate the spammers and the people who buy from spam on it with an internal only network.

10:57 am

inge

and of course there are alwasy at least two idiots in every million

10:57 am

o-o

Not that long ago, the US feds indicted a spammer ... an agreement was made for a plea that included a fine of several million, which the spammer paid. he now works for a government agency to stop spamming

10:57 am

o-o

10:57 am

TrickyRic

when you register your details on some sites, that info is added to a database which gets sold on to direct marketting companies. those companies literally do nothing but spam, yet they can afford the cost of these databases every month or so. they must make a fair profit from spam then...

10:58 am

Atalante

bye Deeha! enjoy the horrible weather we're having!

10:58 am

TrickyRic

note registering to sites is just an example there, data mining is a huge industry

10:59 am

inge

These experts also concluded that there is no way of stopping spam altogether

10:59 am

smooth_pappa

hurshy... I call that place: Nebraska.... Put a big fence around the whole state, and send the spammers there. lol

11:00 am

hurshy

someone should write some software that you can set up so that instead of just blacklisting, you could have a bounceback that fools the spamming email address into thinking that the address they sent it to was invalid - cause if that happens they take it out of their database, right?

11:00 am

TrickyRic

wrong. if any request is sent back, the address is seen as valid

11:00 am

TrickyRic

thats why even enabling the ping daemon can be a security risk

11:01 am

Anniebrook

atalante, just viewed your work and I think it is wonderful...yes, I can feel the dark side..you are very talented

11:01 am

hurshy

well how do they know when an address is invalid? they don't?

11:01 am

pabtrek

an8 please

11:01 am

Dr_God

hurshy- OS X's Mail program has that feature.

11:01 am

hurshy

ooh, it's doc!

11:01 am

inge

the only solution offered by those experts was to have two addresses, one for online purchases, which will get all the spam, and one for private friends, who agree never to give out that address

11:02 am

Atalante

hey dr_g!

11:02 am

o-o

The NY Times online has hired a data collector to find out where you were before going to the paper and where you left to

11:02 am

TrickyRic

in theory no, they don't know when an address is invalid. however in practice it doesn't really matter as the mails are sent direct from an smtp daemon and thus a) takes no time at all, and b) no inbox exists for any errors to return to

11:02 am

o-o

many sites do it

11:03 am

mo

anyone having trouble getting into Lickety's list?

11:03 am

oldhousejunky

an 8 - against + bow head + vowel

11:03 am

doc, does this Mail program allow you to do it with any email address, or do you have to have it in a certain domain?

11:03 am

inge

no Mo

11:04 am

not moi

Good day, LeslieAnn

11:15 am

smooth_pappa

the really wierd thing, is that not too many people seemed to know them... I mean, I watched several people ask for autographs and stuff, but they were so old, andthere were sooooo many high-school agers there, that except for some of the music store employees, and parents, they were able to walk around fairly unmobbed.

11:16 am

hey les

11:26 am

TXZinnia

She did show me the Lickety thing, which is FABulous!

11:26 am

LeslieAnn

11:26 am

Scarlet

Hi, Babblers. I'm down to my last word, and really feel super-dumb to ask for a five-letter: NA5/12. Any help out there? Thank you very much.

11:26 am

TXZinnia

Yep, some of these "words" are very tricky

11:27 am

LeslieAnn

11:27 am

TrickyRic

11:28 am

Scarlet

Oh, boy-oh-boy-OOO. Thanks, LeslieAnn. Fireworks!! I would have sworn in court that I tried to monkey that one. Thanks, all. Off to football!!

11:28 am

LeslieAnn

TrickyRic

11:29 am

Scarlet

Thanks LeslieAnn. Is that the baby polar bear from the Coca Cola commercials? TY Ric

11:29 am

LeslieAnn

Scarlet

He's too cute, and that is one of the commercial favorites when the grandchildren are here. :-)!!

11:30 am

TrickyRic

LeslieAnn

11:31 am

Scarlet

Nope!

11:31 am

TrickyRic

11:33 am

LeslieAnn

hello mm

11:33 am

Scarlet

Hey, LeslieAnn... just read your profile... I started out as a sports reporter, and years later, ended my newspaper career as the Editor/General Manager! Humor is essential to the wacko element, and necessary to deal with the horrible!

11:34 am

LeslieAnn

you said it, sister! That's an impressive rise in the ranks.

TrickyRic

not an easy one though, hatlt

11:35 am

Scarlet

It took blood, sweat and tears, but I gained so much in relation to compassion and human ecstasy & agony... I know I'm a better person for having worked 85 hours a week.

11:35 am

NatLT

leslie, did you hear the good news, my dad gave me a laptop

11:36 am

TrickyRic

85???? ouch!

11:36 am

NatLT

11:38 am

Scarlet

I honestly think that when I was the ME, I worked just as much as wearing the shiny boss hat, plus raising children and studies. You're right, you always look back and say "How on earth did I do it?" But when you're in the trenches, you don't give it another thought.

11:39 am

LeslieAnn

true, scarlet

11:39 am

NatLT

ok that's better

11:39 am

LeslieAnn

11:43 am

TXZ -- yes I did --- just yesterday. I LOVED it.

11:43 am

musicmom

My kids were reluctant to go because they really didn't enjoy March of the Penguins when I "made" them watch it.

11:43 am

NatLT

I hadn't thought about soaking the dried things in something before using them... hm. *thinking about this new idea*

12:58 pm

yest the rum numbs my throat, but how long will I stay awake? My second batch of Stollen are in thier second rising. HOw did yours turn out ?

rum and raisins? sounds good to me, hell the rum sounds good

12:59 pm

ours turned out okay. They are nice and full of tastes -- one bite you get marzipan, another a cherry, etc. Grant had fun putting extra icing on his wheen he was eating it.

12:59 pm

hi Nat! how's life? I see Leslie turned into a baby seal...

12:59 pm

if you have ad 6, just add a consonannt

1:04 pm

inge

both de's have to do with teeth

1:04 pm

stidmama

I made 6 small loaves yesterday, using spelt flour it needs more -- I think I used about 10 cups in all. wheat flour (my next batch for giving away) uses more like 8, maybe 9 on a really humid day.

1:04 pm

Takuma Sato

alas, no 'jedi'

1:05 pm

the loaves are about 8 inches long.

1:06 pm

:-) we buy our flour in 25 and 50 pound bags... because we bake all our own bread and stuff it doesn't pay to get the little bags any more.

1:06 pm

I thought about getting the bigger bag from Costco, but I run out of storing space.

an 5/12 anyone?

1:07 pm

inge

do you add almonds? do you grind them? or do you use slivered onesss?

1:07 pm

stidmama

That does get to be a problem! LOL lack of storage is my only true complaint about our home -- the built-in in the kitchen was minimal. We have purchased shelves for the dining room, and I have given up on elegant living for the time being.

1:13 pm

Well, it is one of those times when I should be thankful they aren't fighting, but the silliness and rowdiness get annoying after a while. This will be the first year in a long time that our kids haven't had to go until mid-June

1:14 pm

musicmom

Downside is they only get 10 days for the Christmas break. I think I would rather have them out when the weather is nice anyway. I can send them outside that way:-)

1:14 pm

stid, my German cookbook says that first rising must be 3 hours. Hehe! By that time mine has left the bowl

1:26 pm

stidmama

*wondering if emdomg will show up in the grid someday* do you know how often my hands slip to the side when I am finding words and I end up having to re-key ten or so?

1:26 pm

FranMag

nan, ar + your elbow is a j****

1:26 pm

Inge2

Inge, are you talking about Stollen?

1:27 pm

Inge2

And Stid?

1:27 pm

stidmama

three hours? wow. I let mine rise for one hour after kneading, and another hour after forming the loaves. It probably would be better to let it go longer, but ... time is at a premium here!

1:27 pm

inge

nan, do you have the an 8?

1:27 pm

stidmama

yes, Inge2! we are!

1:27 pm

cybernan

wrong a, fran, but thanks

1:27 pm

musicmom

mmmmm I love stollen but have never made it

1:27 pm

inge

yes, Inge 2, I am baking today, and stid did yesterday

1:27 pm

bubba218

a from the bottom is against: a + robot ending: ar + your ankle is a j****

1:27 pm

stidmama

it's not any more difficult than regular bread, musicmom. just tastes like it!

1:28 pm

Inge2

Oh, Yum...Stid did I read that you use marzipan? I LOVE marzipan...would love a recipe that uses it.

1:28 pm

stidmama

I will bake again later this week. Something to do while Tom's in Seattle for the week.

1:28 pm

bubba218

ar 8, against a lymph collection site

1:28 pm

musicmom

I may need to try that. Right now I'm trying to succeed at making cream puffs. The first batch failed. I think I will try again tonight

1:28 pm

cybernan

oh -- got it now -- thanks bubba -- sorry fran -- thought you were clueing the ad

1:28 pm

FranMag

that was the bottom A nan, how about ar + last 3 letters of piles.

1:28 pm

stidmama

yes! I actually cheated this time and used store-bought, just roll a coil about the same length as the loaf, and roll the dough up around it...

1:29 pm

Inge2

oh, awesome...was it good? I'll have to try that

1:29 pm

inge

I never treid it with marzipan. Love the stuff and would eat all stollen at once

1:29 pm

FranMag

hey musicmom, sorry about your grandmother! ((hug))

1:30 pm

musicmom

Thanks Fran. I appreciate it. It's been rough

1:30 pm

Inge2

haha, inge. How do you make it?

1:30 pm

stidmama

It works for our family! :-) a cautionary word though -- if your marzipan comes in a can, use a spoon to pull it out. I sliced my fingers up good trying to just "wiggle" it out yesterday.

1:31 pm

Inge2

around here you buy it in a plastic tube thing. It's weird though, you can buy "almond paste" or "marzipan". Is there a difference?

1:31 pm

FranMag

oh no, inge and inge2 both on...too confusing for me. going to go play sudoku. later everyone!

1:31 pm

stidmama

DO 5 please?

1:31 pm

Inge2

sorry Fran!

1:32 pm

musicmom

bye fran

1:32 pm

inge

I just dont use marzipan, but almonds, raisins, currants, citron, lemon peel, nutmeg and trhe usual flour, sugar, eggs and milk

1:32 pm

stidmama

Fran -- see you later!

1:34 pm

stidmama

hi ren8

1:34 pm

inge

my raisins get soaked in rum beforehand. Changes the taste I guess, if you skip them. Actually recipe calls for more raisins than anything else. Stid adds dried cranberries and/r cherries.

1:34 pm

cybernan

looking for 2 n's from the last column: have close, number and fraction

1:34 pm

musicmom

yum cranberries or cherries would be an excellent substitution.

1:34 pm

musicmom

GAG - the only way to eat a raisin is right out of the box

1:35 pm

musicmom

it is the reconstitution that happens in cooking that I dislike

1:35 pm

ren8

Hi and bye Jean... Hi Takumo, Inge2 & Stid

1:35 pm

stidmama

The only raisins I like are covered in chocolate... and when my grandmother was alive she would soak some in warm water before putting them in salads, and they were nice that way.

1:36 pm

mousey

i did this before i was idoitgang and people called me idoit

3:22 pm

mousey

good times

3:23 pm

Biltong

I remember that mousey. You shouldn't take offence becasue people often shorten babblers names. Mousey is good, anyway :)

3:24 pm

mousey

you remember idoitgang

3:24 pm

Biltong

Yes I remember a time you said you were unhappy because some babblers called you idiot :)

3:25 pm

mousey

no i liked that name

3:25 pm

NatLT

my sister in law is LaslieAnn, and everyone calls her LA, it's just easier to shorten names

3:26 pm

NatLT

you could always insist that when they shorten your name to use gang instead

3:27 pm

mousey

the 1 person that called me that was annie

3:27 pm

NatLT

anniebrook?

3:27 pm

mousey

yep

3:28 pm

NatLT

she is like a 75 year old grandmother, I am sure she didn't mean anything by it

3:28 pm

Biltong

mo, I don't get the fi5. Another clue please?

3:28 pm

mousey

i liked that name

3:28 pm

NatLT

she is a very sweet lady, I am sorry that she hurt your feelings, and I am sure she would be too if she knew it

3:29 pm

NatLT

bittong, ther is one 5 that is like the hi5 and the ti5

3:29 pm

NatLT

and then there is the past tense of the 4

3:29 pm

mo

Biltong...rhymes with the ti514...has the sometimes vowel at the end

mo

yw

3:31 pm

Biltong

need a fish for that one, don't I!

3:31 pm

NatLT

mousey, you could always change back, and let people know if they want to shorten it not to use idiot, use IG, or gang

3:31 pm

mo

no no no .

3:31 pm

mousey

the reason she didnt know is because she never did and she knew i liked that name

3:32 pm

mousey

the babble lost it i never got it back

3:32 pm

NatLT

I know honey, but when we caht with people on the log we shorten everyone's names to save time, I am sure that is what it was, not that she thought you were stupid, you are obviously a smart kid to be playing this game

3:33 pm

NatLT

Oh, that is too bad

3:33 pm

NatLT

chat* not caht

3:33 pm

mousey

yah

3:33 pm

mousey

3:33 pm

NatLT

yes, libarebel, maybe. It could be sensitive for some. But I still believe nobody should take offence to abbreviated names. I look at it almost as a term of endearment in a way.

3:44 pm

There's a webpage that a lot of people on the iron soduku page use called scanraid.com - it teaches strategies. The thing is, I find them more confusing than useful.

When it turns pink, you have two of the same number in either the block, the row, or the column. So, yes, it's wrong.

8:29 pm

licketySplitAUS

8:29 pm

featherbee

8:29 pm

licketySplitAUS

I wonder how many grids it'll take to have all 4 letter words used

8:29 pm

lbdawger

8:29 pm

FranMag

8:32 pm

licketySplitAUS

8:32 pm

FranMag

8:34 pm

FranMag

8:34 pm

licketySplitAUS

You got it!

8:35 pm

lbdawger

lickety are you working on a dissertation or just into statistics?

8:35 pm

licketySplitAUS

and 41 repeats is the top repeat

Oddly, in out house, silence was deadly. Noise brought better sleep, and #3 was photophobic, so, the darker, the better. When turning on a lamp, be prepared for the crying.
