do you get firworks if your free trial has ended?

4:32 am

Mom

zysx, no, you need to upgrade to pro to get fireworks

4:33 am

TMG

Fireworks are a reward for completion?

4:34 am

Mom

yes, where the tile stats are. Once you complete the grid, the fireworks appear in that area

4:34 am

TMG

Ah cool.. Still can't understand how people complete the grids.. I'm not stupid, and it seems hard =D

4:35 am

Mom

there is a list from Lickety (the link is under the tile stats), that gives you the first 2 letters of each word and how many letters and the point value

4:36 am

Mom

then there is the enable dictionary where Babble gets the words. Also www.a2zwordfinder.com if you enter the first 2 letters it will give you all the words that begin with those letters

4:37 am

scarydeb

it was weeks before I completed my first grid and I always need to get clues from the log and lickety to finish

4:38 am

scarydeb

loin

4:38 am

scarydeb

It is rare that I use a list but I do use the clues. I don't strive to finish a grid. I aim for halfway

4:38 am

Mom

No need to be sorry scarydeb

Mom

boon

4:39 am

TMG

Thanks, Mom.. Don't tell mine I said that. The Lickety bit will help a bunch, the rest sounds good too.

4:39 am

Mom

there, I did it too. It is so easy to do

4:39 am

I force myself to get half done before I resort to licketys list but I must admit I check the log for clues (and also give some free answers as well!!)

We moved here from Idaho in September, so we're still finding our way around.

8:08 am

ch1212, you are considered a Southern state to us. No surprise it would be warmer. Golf, boating, gardening anyone?

gramma, we did drive up to Brattleboro, VT a few weeks ago -- beautiful state!

8:09 am

it is just not right, LOL!

8:09 am

gramma

Actually it's a bit frightening because the bears are coming out of hibernation. Lots of tracks and scratchings. I think they must be cranky with so little rest.

8:10 am

pam

that is the frightening side

8:10 am

ch1212

The trends are disturbing -- there is, for example, a type of catepillar that comes out at a certain time each year. It feeds on a plant that comes out 2 weeks before. Last year the catepillars came out 3 weeks early, and most died for lack of food.

8:10 am

Kazzer, in answer to your inquiry, I don't have CI7 yet. Sorry.

funny you should mention that ch1212-at work the other day I noticed a catepillar on the sidewalk and thought how odd for this time of year.

8:11 am

pida 1

Hi everyone, thnx for the re 9 clue. I wasn't there yet, but I took advantage of it......

8:11 am

cliffopa

laundry, ugh - guess i'd better go do some of that.

8:12 am

ch1212

Nonnie, I read the article in Scientific American last year -- it was on just one type of catepillar - don't know if it's the type you saw or not. But multiple that one type by hundreds more as this progresses, and the food chain suddenly looks pretty scary.

8:13 am

gramma

Please don't use obscenities on the chat! The "L" word is unacceptable.

8:13 am

ch1212

LOL gramma!

8:13 am

ursh

so is the "D" word (dishes - dirty)

8:14 am

ch1212

The "H" word in general - housework

8:14 am

ursh! don't make me come over there. Enough of that talk!

okay question, who here has had a flu shot?

8:16 am

ch1212

I did -- my first ever this year

8:16 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers!

8:16 am

LoriP

Never had a flu shot, couldn't pay me to get one. :)

8:16 am

evanonut

who doesn't because of side effects?

8:17 am

ursh

Flu shots here seem to make people ill - so i avoid having one and just swallow more vitamins

8:17 am

LoriP

I would fall into that category Evan, among otehr reasons.

8:18 am

evanonut

i wanna hear the other reasons.

8:18 am

garyandjulie

did a few years ago eva. wasn't any better or worse off forit

8:18 am

ch1212

I've never had one before because of side effects and general dislike of needles. But we just moved here, and there were some major stressors this past year, so I decided to take precautions

8:18 am

evanonut

mother in law insists i get one

8:18 am

LoriP

I have little to no faith in their "guesses" of what strain(s) will be on the go in any given year, to name one.

8:19 am

evanonut

but i get a huge painful hot to touch swollen area size of a fist at the site

8:19 am

garyandjulie

are you an at risk person? asthmatic or something like it?

8:19 am

evanonut

husband is, but he had his

8:19 am

ch1212

I'm not at risk in general, but with all the stress this past year I knew my immune system wasn't as strong as usual.

8:19 am

phandmd

I got one for the 1st time this year, and my arm hurt for 2 days. I have asthma

8:20 am

evanonut

i have a latex allergy, which many are stored in, she insists that isn't the problem

8:20 am

LoriP

Mom and DAd are 84 and 78 respectively and also do not get flu shots. Many of their friends do, and seem to have reactions in varying forms.

8:21 am

evanonut

and since continued exposure to latex is supposed to worsen the allergy, i don't think i should.

8:21 am

bonkler

i edited a paper for an agricultural business about vaccinations. you wouldn't believe the crap they put in shots for animals and human use. the cost/benefit analyses were terrifying. ie. how many people are killed, blinded, suffer brain fevers or debilitating side effects before the profit marging shrinks. no hots for me.

8:22 am

LoriP

A latex allergy is nothing to fool with, that's for sure.

8:22 am

ch1212

bonkler, would be interested in researching that -- if you want to post the paper, let us know the link.

i'm having trouble finding info online to support my argument to her, not that i'm going to be bullied into one. i just want her to admit that i shouldn't

Some homework on the "marketing" of flu shots is an undertaking worthwhile for leisure time.

8:24 am

8:26 am

bonkler

i'll have a look. that was on my old computer so i don't have a copy. not sure if the company still has it posted. but there are lots and lots of things online. remember the big anthrax scare? george the shrub wanted to vaccinate everyone. anthrax vaccine kills one in thousand. that's a thousand dead per million shots or about 300,000 dead if everyone in america got the shot.

8:26 am

ata, kate: i know from working the food bank that at least one market gives dents and discontinued items to them. also some bakeries when they have excess from their orders

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

area organizations have been quite aggressive to make second harvest programs to use what might be waste.

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

including fresh vegetable excess from gardens

11:00 am

kthdsn

I hate the way supermarkets are tailored to standard western diets, ie junk food, the main part of a diet should be fruit and veg, yet they only have 2 aisles for those

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

not anymore, kate. lots of produce and lots of organic

11:00 am

phandmd

pls help with the last BA pls

11:01 am

Atalante

that's wonderful, TO. there was a big scandal here a year or so ago because a particular huge supermarket chain were throwing sandwiches / fresh food away rather than giving it to homeless people / organisations in case the people who ate it sued them for the food being out of date

11:01 am

kthdsn

not here yet

11:01 am

kthdsn

the organic section in my nearest supermarket is about a foot wide

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

ata, that is a real concern. for w few years i ran a large confernce for our ceo. we had to search out an organization that would take leftovers, many will not tkae open food becuase of concerns. We finally found a place for lovely fresh fruit tray - shelter for mentally ill homeless women. felt so good

11:03 am

kthdsn

I would love to eat organic fruit and veg with a small amount of other healthy food added in but it's just impossible to do that because the store sells such rubbish

Got my toast but am somewhat confused by the packaging of the Kerrygold butter I chose to spread on it.

9:30 pm

Jacula

Sealed plastic container, open that and there is a layer of foil with a pull up tab, under that is a plastic layer with a pull up tab. What's that all about, other than making yet more packaging? An EU silly directive again, I guess, against some kind of terrorist contamination? Not a lot of good against a hypodermic needle containing botulism or some such.

9:32 pm

shorty

can I get a clue for the 2nd en6 please?

9:32 pm

harpjane

jac, that sounds normal for US packaging. I have actually gone to get stitches on my finger after trying to open some things!

9:32 pm

Jacula

I actually bought (you know me, everything homemade) some mince pies just before Xmas to tide the family over whist I was busy baking. They came in a cardboard carton. I opened that and the plastic tray with the pies in was wrapped in plastic. I opened that and the plastic tray that help the foil-encased pies had a harder plastic lid on it!#

10:51 pm

Jacula

But we had the older sisters at our last meet up... for a theatre thingey when one of our number who'd always been sporty suddenly turned theatrical and did a one woman show at a city theatre. She was BRILLIANT - well done Biddy Roberts, we al said - our English & Drama teacher. Many of us act or write and are successful in that to different degrees thanks to her, but the realisation that she had actually influenced one of the Tom Boy sporty ones, left us alll gob-smacked. We only hope now that we can find her to tell her so. She's such an old hippy though... dunno if we will find her. I was the last one with any kind of address for her.
