12:48 am

Merk

Here I am doing this without a list again due to censorship here. Is it possible for someone to copy Angelsong's List for the day for me. BrandyJack put it here for me to copy yesterday. I like to use it after I get to the point of being totally stumped.

12:48 am

FranMag

i was wondering if someone would use "The Stones", nice icon too angb.

joym999

1:55 am

they all have y as consonant

5:44 am

Merk

sk 6,30 please ... the one that is not the plural for the sk 5

5:44 am

Kazzer99

no what i meant was y then a consonent rather than y then a vowel

5:44 am

sprite

Same word, use vowel as last letter, Merk

5:44 am

sprite

none, Kazzer. They are all Y - vowel

5:45 am

Kazzer99

thanks

5:47 am

Kazzer99

thanx sprite

6:11 am

hydra

Don;t worry, I knew what you meant

6:12 am

sprite

:)

6:12 am

Eva

sprite, wouldn't haev thought they'd have that al-does it mean something aside from the hebrew word?

6:13 am

sprite

I don't think so, Eva. Usually it takes an H at the end, I believe.

6:13 am

Eva

interesting that it's become a part of the English lexicon

6:13 am

Merk

Sprite, I lost my internet connection. I still do not have the second sk 6,30. I did not understand your clue about a vowel at the end.

6:14 am

Eva

merk-take the s off the plural one and substitute a vowel

6:14 am

sprite

wb Merk. Can't say it any simpler. Just take the plural, drop the last letter and replace it with a vowel.

6:14 am

rolin

sprite..could i have a clue for the ae5...im assuming the 6 is the pl

6:15 am

gramma

Morning all! What is this K word you're talking about?

6:16 am

Aloyisius

hi, gramma.. it rhymes with machine

6:16 am

sprite

rolin: the 6 is adjective of the 5.
The 5 is plural (latin).
Def is fruiting bodies of rust fungi, which bear chainlike or stalked spores.

6:17 am

P.J.

yo gramma

6:17 am

Aloyisius

lol, sprite... everyone knew that!

6:17 am

rolin

ty

6:17 am

Kazzer99

hi gramma

6:17 am

sprite

Exactly, Aloyisius :)

6:18 am

Merk

My computer is really acting up. None of the vowels were accepted. I'll try them all again.

6:19 am

gramma

Aloyisius I'm sorry I still don't get it.

6:19 am

JMann

good morning everyone - how is the grid today?

6:19 am

Merk

sk + 3 vowels. Right? It won't work for me. But then I'm having lots of problems tonight.

6:19 am

gramma

hodag, that picture is a hoot

6:19 am

Aloyisius

think the movie star, ke**u reeves and you will have most of the sk word

6:20 am

rolin

ok..gonna do the washing for a bit..then some more marking..bbl..

6:20 am

sprite

Merk, if you drop the last letter, you have a consonant left as last letter.

6:21 am

P.J.

I think so too gramma,poor silly kitty!!...Hi JMann

6:21 am

JMann

hey hodag

6:21 am

Merk

I have the sk 5 and sk 6, its plural. The next sk 6 I am missing. I tried dropping the plural letter and making it a vowel. That does not work. Then Aloy makes it sound different. I'm lost.

6:22 am

sprite

Merk, you are doing something wrong.
Take the singular. Put a vowel after it. That is all.
And it is NOT the last sk6, but the first.

6:22 am

Kazzer99

Merk - take the plura letter and change it for the 2nd vowel

6:23 am

Merk

I have sk + two different vowels + the consonant. I try adding a vowel to that to no avail.

6:23 am

sprite

well, in that case you have a different babble than we.

6:23 am

relarion

I just got three sk's from those clues =)

6:23 am

Aloyisius

ooh, hope you get it Merk: I'm not on the list, so no help yet as to the order.. its the only sk 5 and two related words that I have so far

6:24 am

Merk

I kid you not, I am brain dead and half frozen. Thank you. I got it.

6:24 am

Aloyisius

yay, glad to hear that, Merk

6:24 am

Hi relarion- I love your pic

relarion

thx kazzer

6:24 am

gramma

ty Aloyisius got it. I'm very slow today ( actually almost every day...ssshhh)

6:25 am

Merk

My next problem. My words say they are accepted sometimes, but they don't show up on the list. I refresh ... and it takes forever, but they don't show up and when I retype them in, they say they have them. Am I going crazy?

6:25 am

Kazzer99

It could be donw to your poor internet link

6:25 am

Aloyisius

looking at hodags and retarions icons has got to make anyone's morning smilier!

6:25 am

I am off. Have a great day/night/whatever, all of you, and enjoy the grid :)

BEST DAY EVER!! We've had a wild stray cat here for a few years. Then about a month ago, we could hear it plaintively meowing forever. We searched and searched and couldn't find her. Ultimately, we gave her up. This morning I look out and there she is! Sitting in the barn dooryard, fat and happy. I'd love to give her a pet but she'd tear me to shreds. I'm soo happy.

10:31 am

smooth_pappa

seriously hurshy? There are a lot of really odd ones today. I didn't find yesterday too bad.

10:31 am

Dorens

is it? i'm so glad to hear it... it doesn appear pleasanter (is that a word?) and i've been working it about half anhour and have over 100 words down.... but the next 158?

10:31 am

o-o

Cruised through this one.

10:31 am

hurshy

i thought yesterday's was one of the hardest ever. but, there is probably a difference between which ones are hardest with the list and which ones are hardest without the list.

10:32 am

smooth_pappa

and I suppose individyual perception as to what word are mor recognizable. Yesterday was long for me, but I didn't ave much trouble at all finding words... today, on the other hand... yeesh! lol

10:33 am

Dorens

big difference .... listless is a whole nother story! I did yeseterday's with list, it wasn't bad, but i still feel like a kinder, gentler puzzle today Icoddling myself)

How can any of you be on the grid and still be chatting, I have a hard time doing both. I have to get back the grid because the wife is set on getting me to the gym today to excercise. I hate exercising but I need it.

12:28 pm

cruel to be kind...

12:28 pm

I didn't like the new one. I may have had my expectations to high after LOTR though.

I saw some of the special effects and they were impressive - the movie wasn't so great though

12:28 pm

ch1212

I got a birthday card once that said : How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

It's a great question to think about

12:28 pm

I cant chat and look for words very easially either, marc

12:28 pm

Marc Freeman

I agree the new one is missing something.

12:29 pm

Multi-tasking.:)

12:29 pm

LoriP

It's hard to ignore chat, my self discipline comes and goes....

12:30 pm

Takuma Sato

I have a hard time not watching chat for clues when I first start on the grid

12:30 pm

hurshy

i just make my window narrower until i've found 80% of the words so i can't see the chat

12:30 pm

smooth_pappa

anyone watching footballl today?

12:30 pm

ursh

ch1212 - good question - i would be 42-45 - street wise but still interesting

12:30 pm

hurshy

my husband is!

12:31 pm

Jacula

Takuma - You could switch over to Who's Online or My Friends. You won't see chat or clues that way.

12:31 pm

pam

see you all later!!!!

12:31 pm

I just click on My Friends so that the chat is hidden...

12:31 pm

hurshy

but if i saw that my friends were on, i'd want to chat with them. i have to not know.

12:31 pm

Takuma Sato

I've tried that, but I'm akratic; and chats intrinsically fun sometimes

12:32 pm

Jacula

LOL, hursh.

12:32 pm

ch1212

I would be around 30, I think. When I was 18 I wrote a song with a line about "Mostly I'm 30, but then I'm 500, carousel riding again." And I still feel that way in my 50's

12:32 pm

hurshy

i'd be 18 :)

12:32 pm

Jacula

Takuma - You could do what I usually do: print the grid off (or write it down) and do as many words as you can on paper.

12:32 pm

hurshy

and 60.

12:33 pm

Jacula

I think I'd be about 35 ch1212.

12:33 pm

Takuma Sato

another good idea, jac

12:33 pm

ursh

I suppose 18 going on 60 could be good hurshy

12:33 pm

sherb

often when people appear to be on they're not chatting...

12:33 pm

Dorens

chat is most definitely fun... it can slow you down some, but you do get some good clues for some words you might never have known. and sometimes it really does have me laughing out loud

12:34 pm

ch1212

good point, sherb -- I rarely log off, so it looks as if I'm here but I'm really not.

12:34 pm

hurshy

i just want to be 60 cause i wish i'd gotten to live through some of the history that i didn't get to live through, and cause i like old music and stuff

12:34 pm

Takuma Sato

truthfully, peeking at chat a bit while I begin doesn't bother me so much; I just have a policy of avoiding clues early. A policy I regularly violate ;)

12:34 pm

bunnyvicious

This is the only adult conversation I have during the weekdays, you can only say so much to two four year olds.

12:34 pm

Dorens

some policies are meant to be violated

12:35 pm

ch1212

hurshy, another interesting question is, how old do we think some of us are? You, for example, don't list your age in your profile -- I guess I've been assuming you were in your late 40's, early 50's based on your writing.

12:35 pm

I'd ask the same question if my age weren't in my profile.

12:36 pm

ren8

12:36 pm

Dorens

i'd have guessed 30's... but sometimes i think much younger

12:36 pm

hurshy

maybe we just assume everyone else is around our own age...

12:36 pm

hurshy

i think i assume that

12:36 pm

ch1212

bunny I haven't looked at your profile but I'm guessing in your mid 30's

12:37 pm

Babbler

not always, but I notice some people do do that, hursh

12:37 pm

Dorens

when you are older, you learn to be more self-re*****

12:37 pm

Thank you for the compliment. I always fell a little back woodsy in here, lol.

12:39 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, sukee!

12:39 pm

LoriP

I've been 29 for 12 years now. It's cool.

12:40 pm

ch1212

bunny, 'wise' in the sense of emotional/spiritual wisdom, from what you share with others.

12:40 pm

hurshy

i've only been 29 for six months, still getting used to it.

12:40 pm

lynxxx

29 - that was a good year!

12:40 pm

smooth_pappa

lol I'll be there in about m years ;)

12:40 pm

smooth_pappa

jeez.. again, fingers aren't typing right... about "2 years"

12:40 pm

Scrabbler

So far, my 40's have been the best decade. I finally felt like an adult at 42--I stopped caring what other people think or say.

12:40 pm

LesForMore

Babble women are all hot...no matter the age!!! *s*

12:41 pm

ch1212

When I turned 29 I just told everyone I was 30, because of the grief so many people gave me, not believing it really was my 29th. So I wound up being 30 for 2 years in a row

12:41 pm

hurshy

lol ch1212

12:41 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, yeah, LesForMore, I am just SIZZLING!!!!

12:41 pm

phandmd

can I have a clue for the CA 6 pls

12:41 pm

LoriP

Scrabbler knows. My confidence has grown significantly in my 30's. In my 40's, I please myself, and care not what people say.

12:41 pm

hurshy

since i'm around teenagers, age doesn't matter - we're all just "old" to them!

12:42 pm

Jacula

Another hot flash, Scrabbler? :)

12:42 pm

Thirty doesn't scare me any, made the hubby sweat bullets though.

12:42 pm

hurshy

i tutor, my husband teaches.

12:43 pm

Scrabbler

I went through "surgical" menopause, instantly, just over 3 yrs ago, so, yes, sometimes my body temp suddenly jumps to 106 F. The steam comes out of my pores.

12:43 pm

Babbler

I didn't mind 30 at all, but 40 knocked me sideways.

12:43 pm

smooth_pappa

lori... what did we learn last time? ;) the gam'es still early... they haven't got a prayer. ;)

12:43 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - I know the feeling!

12:43 pm

hurshy

i taught a couple of classes last year but i like tutoring better.

12:43 pm

Dorens

I definitely like myself more as I'm older.... that bit about experience that all those old people used to talk about when I was younger... i couldn't get it then. I do now. I wouldn't want to be young again (except maybe physically)

12:43 pm

phandmd

can I have a CA 6 clue pls?

12:44 pm

hurshy

looking phan

12:44 pm

ca6 - cowboy horse word I think - ca + cons + I ***d to be a teenager many years ago

12:44 pm

Scrabbler

I agree, Doren.

12:44 pm

LoriP

ca + sometimes vowel + what's the *** use of the Seahawks ? :-)

12:44 pm

Dorens

i can see where tutoring could be much more enjoyable than teching a full class

12:44 pm

hurshy

yes, the way i've set it up this year, especially - i only get kids who really want help.

12:44 pm

LoriP

Absolutely Dorens! No going back for me. Only better and better ahead.

12:45 pm

Dorens

teching? teching? maybe I need a tutor

12:45 pm

Hey, the sk's are a new one for me. DIdn't know that variance.

and the four adds 2 vowels.

12:49 pm

bunnyvicious

I planted my bulbs in Oct and I'm already seeing growth (til the freeze today anyway). Thought they wouldn't come up til spring. What did I do wrong?

12:49 pm

Babbler

hi magzel

12:49 pm

LoriP

ca + sometimes vowel + I could *** a cup of coffee

12:49 pm

Babbler

global warming, bunny?

12:49 pm

Dorens

*pouring a hot steaming mug for LoriP*

12:50 pm

LoriP

Thank ye Dorens!

12:50 pm

stidmama

you didn't do anything wrong bunny -- it has been quite warm where you are and tricked a lot of things into early growth.

12:50 pm

bunnyvicious

OK, I do bunches of things wrong, but you can't blame global warming on just me!

12:50 pm

Scrabbler

I remember him (ke4)!

12:50 pm

hurshy

poor fooled plants

12:50 pm

phandmd

gotta take the kids fundraising; They are collecting $ for world vision and in Feb they will fast for 30 hrs!

12:50 pm

bunnyvicious

They'll still come back in spring won't they?

12:51 pm

ren8

we have got crocus's growing already and they dont normally come out till March/April

12:51 pm

hurshy

oh, i've done the 30 hour famine, phan!

12:51 pm

Babbler

I've never seen roses all through winter before, but they're everywhere this year.

12:51 pm

stidmama

they should be fine, but I would try to mulch them to keep the top growth from being hit too hard. It's usually not the freeze that harms plants like that, but rapid freeze-thaw-freeze cycles

12:51 pm

stidmama

yes, they should do fine in the spring (assuming critters don't eat them)...

12:52 pm

Dorens

speaking of mulch. my hoomegrown compost is okay for mmulch,right?

12:52 pm

hurshy

mulch is a funny word

12:52 pm

bunnyvicious

Good, I planted TONS of bulbs. I'd hate to have really messed em all up. TY

12:52 pm

stidmama

that ca6 is also the name of a native tribe and range of hills in the NW U.S.

12:52 pm

msilver620

what can you do to a cup of coffee for the ca

12:52 pm

Jacula

I have roses still blooming and a clematis that normally flowers in March began blooming 2 weeks ago.

12:52 pm

stidmama

yes, compost is great for mulch, but tends to not have a lot of air in it, so it takes more by weight to provide the same thermal insulation.

12:52 pm

Dorens

hey margie

12:53 pm

stidmama

{{{bunny's bulbs}}} I want pics when they start doing their thing!

12:53 pm

6:49 pm

kristinc

hi hodog...hi kitty, kitty :)

6:49 pm

P.J.

hi Jac

6:50 pm

Jacula

6:50 pm

kristinc

6:50 pm

P.J.

howdy kristinc(mew)

6:50 pm

cybernan

thank you -- thought Id tried that!

6:51 pm

cybernan

2 s's and 3 f's -- going for a cold drink first!

6:51 pm

Jacula

cyber - I've been doing that all day. Also thinking I'd put words in when I hadn't. I think one grid just melds into another sometimes!

6:52 pm

Jacula

Let's try to guess what cyber needs. Hmmm... fa6/30 = fa**** matter or poo!

6:53 pm

Jacula

Actually, in US, you may well spell that without the first 'a'.

6:53 pm

kristinc

hey...that was the one f I was missing! :)
ewww!

6:53 pm

Jacula

fe5/18 = fe + the top of a can or a box.

6:54 pm

Jacula

LOL, kristinc.

6:54 pm

P.J.

very good clue..ty

6:55 pm

Jacula

Not sure about the 3rd 'f' as there are some quite obscure words in the list.

6:55 pm

Jacula

y/w, hodag.

6:56 pm

Jacula

I wonder if it's 'sk' words she's mising?

6:56 pm

Jacula

*missing

6:57 pm

kristinc

*whispers* you do know she went for a break right (but I like the clues) :)

6:57 pm

Jacula

Yes, I know she went off for a cold drink. I was just playing a little game trying to guess what words she might be needing.:)

6:58 pm

kristinc

I'm not complaining :)

6:58 pm

Jacula

I'd better stop now before her clues scroll off the page.

7:00 pm

Jacula

gramma made me laugh earlier on today when she asked us all to stop Babbling for 20 mins whilst she went off for a shower 'in case she missed anything', and again when she went for a smoking break. We all swore we HADN'T Babbling in her absence.;)

7:00 pm

Jacula

*been Babbling, that is.

7:01 pm

kristinc

yep... it takes my computer forever to load the whole chat, so of course people should oblige while others step away :)

7:03 pm

cybernan

a little coke, a little appleton estate, and a chocolate -- that ought to help!

7:03 pm

Jacula

cyber - Hello again. Scroll back for the clues I think you might need.

7:04 pm

Jacula

7:04 pm

periwinkle

you don't have to stid. it is very easy and made with cream cheese, no crust. Would you like it? I will e-mail it to you and hodag when I find it or post it in bab anon, okay

7:30 pm

Jacula

In my youth you could wander around Stonehenge at will. These days, it is mostly cordonned off.

7:30 pm

Jacula

Goodnight, mousey.

7:30 pm

jillibus

jac -- I take it your Stonehenge covers both the religious structure and today's theme of Stones!

7:30 pm

periwinkle

jilli, I made soup and freeze most of it in small containers. then I can take them out as I need them

7:30 pm

Andree

last sk6/30 please

7:30 pm

stidmama

Andree - plural of the sk5/18.

7:30 pm

cybernan

This was a small tour that had arranged for participants to go into the circle

7:32 pm

stidmama

Jill, I think it would freeze okay, and you could also "downsize" it very easily.

7:32 pm

i.love.you

the only one i have is FATS

7:32 pm

Jacula

peri - ta5/16 is like the Sicilian heavies, of which Al Capone was once a member but with 't' as the first letter.

7:32 pm

phandmd

can I get a clue for the re 7 pls

7:32 pm

cybernan

tried a new cookie recipe for Christmas -- like a shorbread but a ribbon cookie -- one part orange flavoured and the other chocolate -- yummy. A lot of work to prepare, but once done, made over 60 2x2" cookies

7:32 pm

Andree

I have that one jac need the other sk6/30 please

7:32 pm

jillibus

I've had several visits to Stonehenge, the last one being in 1968 and there was nobody else there but hubby and me! We wandered at will

7:32 pm

stidmama

ooh re 7: a type of "K car" the Plymouth re*****, to be independent is to be self re*****

7:32 pm

Jacula

i.l.y. The etiquette here is not to type words into the chatlog.

7:33 pm

phandmd

thnx!

7:33 pm

stidmama

that sounds really cool, nan! I love cookies that are pretty

7:33 pm

Jacula

jilli - sounds great!

7:34 pm

Jacula

Andree - sk5 with a vowel at the end. EEEH! I dunno! I do work hard on these clues. LOL.

7:34 pm

periwinkle

7:34 pm

jillibus

7:35 pm

Andree

7:35 pm

stidmama

Jacula -- I opened a new recipe "box" at babanon the old one had got so many pages it was getting hard to find things!

7:36 pm

Erda

TY stidmama!!!

7:36 pm

stidmama

7:36 pm

cybernan

7:36 pm

periwinkle

hodag would you mind emailing that recipe to me

7:36 pm

Jacula

stid - did you? I haven't been in there for ages.

7:37 pm

stidmama

7:37 pm

P.J.

7:37 pm

periwinkle

good idea regarding the recipes nan

7:37 pm

cybernan

lol

7:37 pm

i.love.you

help please!!

7:38 pm

periwinkle

anyone have ta5/14 please

7:38 pm

Jacula

I think metaleather put a lot of recipes in there. I hope she tried them first. I did try to say I never put recipes in there that I haven't either invented or tried and tested. I hope she wasn't offended but the thread did rather 'run away with itself'.

7:38 pm

cybernan

don't know what to do about the old ones but perhaps a new box for each catagory in the future?

7:38 pm

stidmama

i.love.you -- have you read the hints at angelsong's resource pages? go to http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/ and read what's there. It will help you.

7:38 pm

Jacula

ta5/14 is a herb. It has tiny button yellow flowers.

7:38 pm

cybernan

ta 5/14: an herb -- rhymes with the "face" flower

7:38 pm

stidmama

good idea, nan.

7:39 pm

stidmama

sorry peri, not that one yet

7:39 pm

periwinkle

thanks nan, never seem to see that one

7:39 pm

Jacula

cyber - I can save all of the old thread and sort it out wherever, I guess. Not tonight though!

7:39 pm

periwinkle

thanks Jacula

7:39 pm

stidmama

LOL I pull that out as soon as I see it! it's pretty, but poisonous...

7:40 pm

stidmama

HALFWAY! off to grab list.

7:41 pm

jillibus

i.l.y. you can also scroll down here and go to Friends of Babble and click on AngleSong's page. Lickety's List also helps by telling you the first and second letters of the words in the grid, how long they are, and the scare they earn

7:41 pm

cybernan

I'm off to make supper -- see you at the flip :)

7:42 pm

jillibus

hi Nat

7:42 pm

jillibus

*score* (sometimes the words give you a scare though! -- lol

7:43 pm

Jacula

stid - ta5 used to be used in foods as it kills gut worms of all kinds. However, taken in excess, it can cause convulsions and or hallucinations, somewhat like the thuja in the drink Absinthe does.

7:43 pm

Jacula

'Bye, cyber. Hi, Nat.

7:43 pm

jillibus

Hi nat

7:45 pm

Marc Freeman

I am back with only 5 to go. Does anyone have a clue for ca5/18?

7:45 pm

Jacula

jilli - Have you received my sn5/10 mail re Crete yet?

7:45 pm

Jacula

Hello again, Marc. Yes, I do. Would you like it?

7:45 pm

Jacula

LOL

7:46 pm

Marc Freeman

Yes if possible, thank you?

7:46 pm

Jacula

It's the first 4 letters of a US sunny state.

Jacula

*Sorry, 5 letters.

7:47 pm

7:47 pm

Jacula

Not Florida!

7:47 pm

Marc Freeman

That was easy, I am from there.

7:47 pm

Jacula

Tee, hee. Knew you'd get it, Marc.

7:47 pm

Marc Freeman

I didn't think so as there are no 'o's' in the grid.

7:48 pm

Natasha

peri, if you can do things for for youself you are self re*****

7:48 pm

periwinkle

thanks Natash

7:48 pm

featherbee

evening folks

7:48 pm

jillibus

yes jac -- haven't had time to enjoy it properly yet but went through it quickly -- thanks -- looks wonderful! (You know how babbling gets in the way of other things you want to do!)

7:49 pm

Jacula

peri - re7 - if you can look after yourself and your are confident, you are self-re*****. Failing that, think of the make of car Del Boy in 'Only Fools & Horses' drives - a 3-wheeler, a Robin Re*****.

st 5/18 really smelled bad

7:50 pm

peri = st5/18 smelled awful and the 6 still does

7:50 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli re the Babbling getting in the way & the missing word. Hi to anyone who' just tuned in.

7:51 pm

thanks jilli

7:51 pm

i decided not to do the grid today, and ended up bored and not knowing what to do with myself! and now it's way too late to start.

7:52 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi, jilli and stid and jac

7:52 pm

stidmama

hi feather -- never too late to start... LOL it's only 80 words (and less) per hour...

7:52 pm

Jacula

No, it's not, feather. You've still got 4 hours 8 mins.

7:52 pm

featherbee

hehe, not by my tiredness clock though!

7:52 pm

woo hoo, FIREWORKS for me. Thanks for the clues. time to watch Desparate Housewives. See you all tomorrow

7:53 pm

congrats peri!

7:53 pm

YAY peri!!!!

7:53 pm

Jacula

Well done, peri! See you tomorrow (if I ever emerge from the humungous pile of washing I have to do).

7:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

I started at work and didn't get far because I felt guilty

7:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

yay, peri!

7:53 pm

stidmama

*examining Jac's hands and noticing laundry powder...*

7:53 pm

stidmama

how is work going otherwise, Tea?

7:54 pm

Jacula

T'n'C - women have felt guilty since Eve got blamed for the apple thing! Babble and be done with it! LOL.

7:55 pm

TeaNCrackers

awfully slow right now - I've been actually in the tax office since the week after Christmas and did my first paid return today.

7:55 pm

Jacula

stid - I use liquid, not powder. Powder clags the works up.

7:55 pm

TeaNCrackers

it was only the third paid return for our office

7:55 pm

Jacula

Ah! If you work in the tax office I withdraw what I said about guilt! ROFLOL.

7:55 pm

stidmama

same here, Jacula! our water is too hard for powdered detergents, and I refuse to use water softener because it's really bad for the environment.

7:56 pm

stidmama

man, that's slow, tea! do you think people are just waiting? *really hoping you don't get a huge rush in Marcy...*

7:57 pm

TeaNCrackers

this office is only open for the second year, and it is in a higher income area, so it really doesn't get busy until the end of March/beginning of April, but it should stay steady until then

7:57 pm

TeaNCrackers

we were only able to start e-filing as of Friday, and W2s don't have to be out until the 31st of January - we'll see!

7:58 pm

Jacula

stid. Believe me, I'd rather have our hard water than soft water. Have you seen the scum on London water? It's vile! At least our water is clear, not white, and doesn't clog the kettle up.

7:58 pm

stidmama

not too bad, then... I suppose richer people need more time to gather the paperwork. We have ours calculated by the end of this week most years... *sigh* almost everything is straight-forward with us. No fancy investment schemes to manipulate.

7:59 pm

stidmama

I don't like how my hair feels when I wash it in soft water, to be honest. Too "soapy." blech.

7:59 pm

featherbee

when we were at my grandma's, i used my "normal" amount of suds for daniel's bath...boy was i surprised at the difference her soft water made!

7:59 pm

TeaNCrackers

yeah, the office I worked in before was super busy, so this is a switch for me, but I like the slower pace. Our taxes are done with the exception of having hubby's W2 - oh well

7:59 pm

stidmama

Help on the AL 5 and the AN 5/20?

7:59 pm

Jacula

I could have my own water supply as there is a natural spring on my land. However, the bore hole, tests etc., cost around Â£10,000.:(

remember me talking about my cat the other night? her sister has taken over her "spot" on the couch and is keeping me company. and she's been sleeping with me and cuddling with me, which she normally didn't do.

8:03 pm

hi, again, all!

8:08 pm

Jacula

Maybe, because they have less 'trivia' and 'whatifs' going on in their heads, they can tune in more easily than humans can. No, actually, I think humans DO tune in very quickly but perhaps doin't have the time or the 'botheration' (I made that word up, but you know what I mean) to stop and help.

I think it's hard too -- lots of obscure words

8:11 pm

pam

you are all so very supportive...

8:11 pm

feather - I've just bought an HP Photosmart 2575. That's pretty good, and you can even use special inks that won't fade for a century. Cost Â£120.99 over here.

8:11 pm

aknitter

de 6/24 please

it will eventually come around pam, but you're right we don't always know how or when.

I may be luckier than some in that i still volunteer with my ex and her new gal, a former friend of mine

8:13 pm

featherbee

yes pappa! i want something to print my photos with, that will do good 8x10s, and b&w

8:13 pm

Natasha

I did have the satisfaction of an ex coming back to me a few years later to say "I was so full of sh** when I told you why I was leaving--the truth was I was in denial and made up the prettiest story"

8:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

Hey, smooth!

8:13 pm

so the wicket is sticky, however, the organization is virtual

8:13 pm

it goes! it looks like we may finally get some snow tonight!@ :-D

8:14 pm

thanks jac, i had missed it, flipping back and forth between tabs here!

8:14 pm

Natasha

nope, not kidding pam. I almost fell over.

8:14 pm

stidmama

snow would be good, provide a buffer for the plants from the chill!

8:14 pm

smooth_pappa

it flirted with us last night, leaving only a bit... but we may get a decent fall tonight

8:14 pm

Jacula

Nat - my 'ex' did something like that and then tried to say that, despite the break and all of the damage, we'd spend our old age together. I don't think so!

8:14 pm

TeaNCrackers

I wish we would get some snow, as it is too cold for snow right now and our pipes froze night before last in our master bathroom!

8:15 pm

pam

wow, jac and tnc

8:15 pm

Natasha

ooooh, still a bit of denial there, eh Jac?

8:15 pm

pam

i want snow, too

8:15 pm

Natasha

you all can have the snow....blah

8:15 pm

smooth_pappa

I don't know what we do different here, but pipes just don't freeze... even in the -20 temps we can get. Must be better insulation, or more of it

8:16 pm

pam

yes, but aren't you the one, natasha, who hates snow and cold yet always lives in colder climes?

8:16 pm

smooth_pappa

Thanks Nat, I'll take your share

8:16 pm

we've got snow and it's staying -- melting a bit if the sun comes out

I don't much like the snow, but it is better than subzero weather!

pappa, what do you recommend for printers? i want something for 8x10s and b&w along with color and smaller prints

8:16 pm

smooth_pappa

I like them both TnC. :)

8:16 pm

Natasha

LOL pam, yes that's me. I don't actually mind a bit of snow, but smooth is hoping for several feet

8:18 pm

TeaNCrackers

I'm never going to finish, I am too involved in chatting - I miss being here!

8:18 pm

Jacula

feather - smooth, being a professional photographer, will probably give you the best recommendation.

8:19 pm

featherbee

hehe, that's why i'm waiting with bated breath to see what he says!

8:19 pm

stidmama

my dad's name is in the grid... LOL there's a hint if you know his name!

8:19 pm

Jacula

LOL, feather. What he says, might leave your bank balance red. LOL.

8:20 pm

Jacula

de4/9 - stid?

8:20 pm

aknitter

bated breath??? ewwuuuu passes out altoids

8:20 pm

featherbee

ehh, i know, but after years of totally sucky printers, i'm ready to spend a bit more

8:20 pm

stidmama

nope, not that one, Jac!

8:20 pm

featherbee

lol, thanks knitter

8:20 pm

aknitter

how about ta 4/8 stid?

8:20 pm

Jacula

bated breath is far nicer than 'baited' breath, like you sometimes see posted. LOL.

8:21 pm

And we have missed you, too, TNC

8:21 pm

Jacula

ey4/6, stid?

8:21 pm

aknitter

altoid?

8:21 pm

smooth_pappa

I would reccomend a canon brand printer. They span several price ranges, and deliver great quality. For $150-ish price range, canon has the ip6220d

8:21 pm

aknitter

i can't find the ey word grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

8:21 pm

featherbee

i think i had just learned recently that "bated" is the correct version...or i may just be making things up

8:21 pm

stidmama

LOL -- think European country, name deriving from original tribe...

8:22 pm

Jacula

Smooth - I was going to go for a Canon, since it would last longer than 3 years. However, my son said the software is clunky.

8:22 pm

featherbee

the Canon Pixma MP830 was the one i was looking at actually....top of consumer report's ratings

8:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

thanks, Pam

8:22 pm

P.J.

feather I just bought a"Kodak Easy Share"g600 and we love it ! The pictures and colors are wonderful and they are dry and they don't fade.

8:23 pm

Jacula

ke4/8, stid? English county?

8:24 pm

smooth_pappa

canon does have many different models. The mp830, would be a great one. I wasn't sure what sort of budget you are looking at, but that gives me a good idea

8:24 pm

stidmama

Jac- see my 8:21 post...

lol, well, i've spent a good bit on my digital rebel xt, and a new lens for christmas....why not go for broke???

8:24 pm

featherbee

literally....

8:24 pm

smooth_pappa

epson also makes some great ones... another question is if you want a printer that can do photos, or a dedicated photo printer

8:25 pm

pam

i have afreebie epson that came with my mactop in an offer, i honestly wouldn't know a good printer from a great one with my vision, though, LOL

8:25 pm

Jacula

fr5/24, stid?

8:25 pm

featherbee

not sure pappa....i don't really print very much at home as far as documents and such

8:25 pm

smooth_pappa

ooh the xct? that's my main camera! what lens did you get?

8:25 pm

smooth_pappa

*XT*

8:25 pm

stidmama

yep Jac, that one.

8:25 pm

featherbee

but then, i like the all in ones with scanners

8:26 pm

pam

ooops,.reminds me, I need black ink, lol (It woudn't print without that one in place. bummer, the old one at work does)

8:26 pm

Jacula

AH! The honest man, stid.

8:26 pm

smooth_pappa

those won't get you the best prints, however. For great quality, you'd want a dedicated photo printer. But it really depends on how serious you are.

8:26 pm

featherbee

sigma 28-300mm

8:26 pm

smooth_pappa

that's a good versitle lens!

8:27 pm

Jacula

My hero, Mr. Ifield, the Aussie singer from the 60s. He was my first pin-up! I had a pic from the newspaper tacked to the inside of my toy cupboard.

8:27 pm

Jacula

LOL

8:27 pm

featherbee

i love it so far! i did a lot of research when picking it

8:27 pm

Jacula

Epson printers don't have a good track record for lasting.

8:28 pm

smooth_pappa

you might want to look at the Sony DPPEX50]

8:28 pm

P.J.

good night all

8:28 pm

smooth_pappa

that's a good point jac.

8:28 pm

pam

no, they don't, jac, but it was free, and I rarely print at home, so...

8:28 pm

featherbee

as i'm starting to do now with printers. i'm a semi-serious amateur...how's that? lol! seriously, i already have a wall of the black and white photos i took in college as the focal point of my living room...i'd like to print pictures worthy of hanging in the rest of the house

8:28 pm

smooth_pappa

i'd still put my money on canon, though...

8:29 pm

featherbee

i have an epson picturemate, for the little ones, but it's already being funny...printing a green ghost line, even though i changed cartridges

8:29 pm

jillibus

still 33 to go -- the chat is too distracting!

8:30 pm

Jacula

I agree with smooth re the Canon. My son's a computer nerd who is seriously addicted to peripherals not hogging computer space.

8:30 pm

pam

160 to go, jilli, LOLOL

8:30 pm

Natasha

rh5?

8:30 pm

jillibus

LOL pam!

8:31 pm

smooth_pappa

feather, I know this might not be what you are looking for, but Economically, and quality wise, you might want to just find a local pro lab. That's what I do... and you can still get 8x10s for a couple of bucks, without buing a printer, ink, and paper... and those will be coming from high quality printers, not ink based, but rather chemical based

8:31 pm

Good evening babblers

8:31 pm

stidmama

hello Enci, 266 words today.... (just in case)

8:32 pm

stidmama

thanks Jill! you jsut *knew* I was gonna need that, didn't you? ;-)

8:32 pm

featherbee

hmm....that's a thought. i could just get a basic, not super expensive all in one, which i need anyway, and save my money for the 8x10s at the camera shop

8:32 pm

smooth_pappa

very nice feather.

8:32 pm

Enci

yes- I am playing for distraction I think- I am unlikely to get fireworks this late in the day :)

8:32 pm

featherbee

ha, and that's my living room as it NEVER looks anymore. visualize a rug of toys now...

8:32 pm

Jacula

Yes, feather. You could. Depends how many you want to print, I guess.

8:32 pm

Natasha

thanks jilli

8:33 pm

jillibus

stid - I have the Seattle NBC news on and they're talking about more snow on Tuesday, ugh!

8:33 pm

smooth_pappa

you know ferather, even larger sizes at a good lab aren't too much. It depends on the quality of the lab, though...

8:33 pm

jillibus

yw

8:33 pm

Jacula

Anyone still need any clues for grid words?

8:33 pm

stidmama

oh no! I am so tired of slippery roads, I worry every time Tom drives on them...

8:33 pm

smooth_pappa

what city do you live in? I might be able to find a good lab for you quickly

8:33 pm

pam

hi, enci

8:34 pm

featherbee

binghamton, ny. tuthill's is the shop i'm thinking of...

8:34 pm

Jacula

As long as my hot flushes (or 'flashes' you you over the pond) continue, I won't be going upstairs.

8:34 pm

Enci

Hi Pam!

8:34 pm

pam

Do they keep you awake, Jac?

8:34 pm

stidmama

feather, hate to break it to you now that it's too late, but you know there's a sort of logarithmic progression on that? First child = toys on floor; second child = "wall o' toys"; third child (which we don't have to worry about) = "can't get the door closed/open toys"

8:35 pm

featherbee

lol, thanks stid! so encouraging!

8:35 pm

Jacula

stid - have you tried the teenaged version of that yet? Same, but worse + 3 lots of loud music you can't stand.

8:35 pm

jillibus

feather -- we used to do a lot of travelling in the east to dog shows and sometimes passed through Binghamton. My funny late hubby just couldn't get his togue around that name and we called it Biniginginghamton

8:36 pm

carlir

un 8/50 please, last word

8:36 pm

smooth_pappa

good call, feather, tuthill's is the one I keep coming up with too. lol

8:36 pm

featherbee

lmao jilli! cute!

8:36 pm

featherbee

it's good to be confirmed, thanks pappa!

8:37 pm

TeaNCrackers

jac and stid - you aren't giving me much hope for the future!

8:37 pm

smooth_pappa

and it looks like they have the convenience of online uploading and ordering, so all you have to do is pick them up.

8:38 pm

stidmama

{{{Tea}}} there there, but you see we survived it... *twitch twitch*

8:38 pm

Jacula

*twitch*

8:39 pm

Natasha

give up now tea. my kids are currently into making props for their various games (mostly about greek gods) and I keep finding little piles of snipped up paper and tape all around the haouse

8:39 pm

featherbee

you guys should try pronouncing some of the other local names...native american origins around here. the susquehana river is the main river, then there's the finger lakes region, with taughannock state park, etc

8:39 pm

pam

8:41 pm

smooth_pappa

lol

8:41 pm

Jacula

feather - if you think those words are hard, try Welsh, Cornish, Irish or Scottish. LOL.

8:41 pm

featherbee

what is the link you're using pappa? i'm having trouble finding them

8:42 pm

pam

Congrats, carlir!

8:42 pm

featherbee

no thank you! i can at least attempt the native american ones...i've seen a few welsh ones that i don't know where to begin!

8:42 pm

Jacula

Sioban, for instance. A girl's name. An Irish name. Pronounced Chevaun.

thank you

8:43 pm

Jacula

It's another spelling for Jane, btw. Sian, in Welsh.

8:43 pm

jillibus

the thing about poor old Binghamton is that it's just a simple English word but my otherwise perfectly articulate hubby Trevor had a block somewhere!

8:43 pm

featherbee

i know that one jac! i had a friend in college with that name

8:43 pm

stidmama

I am down to 35 back later maybe, but met my three main goals, so happy. See you later!

8:43 pm

featherbee

night stid!

8:43 pm

TeaNCrackers

jac, we have a local columnist here by that name and she has done mamny a column on the pronunciation, but I did not know it was Jane!

8:43 pm

Jacula

Well done, carlir!

8:43 pm

TeaNCrackers

8:44 pm

8:45 pm

pam

bye, stid

8:45 pm

jillibus

hehheh, now maybe I can sneak ahead of stid, hehheh...

8:45 pm

TeaNCrackers

I've only gotten 40 in the last hour

8:46 pm

jillibus

TnC, that sounds pretty good to me!

8:46 pm

Jacula

jilli - my Dad could never say the word 'funeral'. He always ended up saying fruneral.

8:47 pm

Jacula

I can multitask, jilli. Though I am tiree but too hot now. I'll help you, if I can.

8:47 pm

then there's my favorite of the finger lakes: skaneateles. pronounced: skinny-atlas

thanks so much for the help pappa. i'm heading out everyone, night!

smooth_pappa

night feather, good luck with the choices

8:50 pm

TeaNCrackers

night, feather!

8:50 pm

Jacula

Try this, feather. English upper-class surname, Fanshaw. It is pronounced 'featherstonehaugh' (the haugh part being pronounced 'haw') so, Fanshaw is feather stone haw.

8:51 pm

Nice and clean and well-kept, though. Far better than the forgotten and neglectd graveyards often seen.

8:59 pm

YAY lbd!!!

9:01 pm

Jacula

T&C - It might make you cry, but it might make you smile and laugh more. That's what Hell's stepson brought to people. Laughter, kindness, gentleness and firmness, when needed.

9:01 pm

smooth_pappa

good job dawg!

9:01 pm

lbdawger

what time did the grid finally flip?

9:01 pm

Jacula

From what I have read. Never met him. Wish I had!

9:02 pm

60 Minutes is doing Seattle weather...

9:02 pm

bum steer -- the Seattle CBS outlet has pre-empted 60 Minutes for a local program about a storm season

9:09 pm

TeaNCrackers

we are watching America's Funniest Videos and Crackers (who is 18 months) is laughing hysterically!

9:10 pm

lbdawger

i bet you can't help but smile and laugh with him! nothing like kids laughing.

9:11 pm

TeaNCrackers

his laughing is funnier than the show

9:11 pm

Jacula

I remember that, T&C.

9:12 pm

boogety, boogety, boom!! Fireworks!! Thanks very much ibdawger!!

9:13 pm

Jacula

Well done, SMD.

9:13 pm

jillibus

I can't believe that Seattle station dumping 60 Minutes! (for the Britsw, that may be like dumping something like Panorama for Cornwall weather reports)

9:13 pm

helenkeller

jac - yes - & i sent you one a couple of days ago & you were going to send me the nazi poem (nudge, nudge, still waiting)

9:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

yay, SMDNJV!

9:13 pm

lbdawger

whoo hoo Natasha and SMD

9:14 pm

Natasha

ok, I must go do something productive before bed

9:14 pm

helenkeller

wd smd !

9:14 pm

jillibus

I wonder if there was something on 60 Minutes that offended somebody

9:14 pm

Smdnjv

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I could not have done it without help!!

9:14 pm

Jacula

Ah! Yes, Hell. That poem was done, with illustrations, on my old word pocessor. The floppy disks don't seem to read to modern PC without corruption. I'll sort it out and send it to you within the next week.

9:15 pm

jillibus

nazi poem? I have a copy of a booklet called Struwwelhitler..

9:16 pm

helenkeller

jili - it was something from an earlier conversation - something that jac wrote herself

9:16 pm

Jacula

Jilli - a better contrast for that might be dumping Coronation Street until 10.30pm or later for the football.

9:16 pm

jillibus

oh well, I'm talking to myself and had better get back to babbling (oxymoron?0

9:17 pm

Jacula

EH, jilli?

9:17 pm

jillibus

well yes, jac, and I'm a Corrie devotee but you see babbling has even been getting in the way of that.

9:17 pm

Jacula

Slow connection there, I guess.

9:18 pm

jillibus

mixed up threads, I think

9:19 pm

jillibus

Think I'd better go eat :-/

9:20 pm

Jacula

Tracey has stabbed Charlie at last, jilli. I didn't see her do it, I was busy when that episode aired. But I read the TV guide. I also caught her, briefly, at the end of tonight's episode, playing the beside herself with grief partner in front of her family and then whispering in his hear, when they were alone, 'Who's the loser now then, eh? You've lost it, Charlie, You are NOTHING!' Weird lady! Weird guy!

9:22 pm

Jacula

I am really not sure about this particular story line. It's not one I would have pursued for this particular series.

9:22 pm

Shannon1

my last word-- ta 5/14, please.

9:23 pm

Jacula

It sounds more like something I would write in one of my unfinished novels, but not like a Corrie story line.

9:23 pm

jillibus

Hey, Jac! here in Canada we're 9 months behind the UK!!! Mike has just died but I missed how -- knew he had Alzheimer's but what happened? Glad to hear the charming Tracy stabbed the charming Charlie though -- will look forward to the buildup

9:24 pm

Jacula

Shannon - ta5/14 is is plant with little yellow heads. Rhymes with a flower with a face? pa***

9:24 pm

Jacula

Sorry for being a plot buster, jilli!:(

9:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

Tea just told me that she bungled up Crackers (she just wrapped him up in a blanket)

9:26 pm

jillibus

'Sawright, Jac -- sometimes we go to CSVU and sneak ahead for spoilers when we can't stand the suspense. And the Tracy-Charlie weirdness qualifies!

9:26 pm

helenkeller

tea - your kids sound adorable! a regular barrel of laughs

9:27 pm

jillibus

so how did Mike die? (Sorry, non-Corrie fans)

9:27 pm

TeaNCrackers

they stress me out sometimes, but they are so worth it!

9:28 pm

Jacula

Mike just kinda keled over in the snow and guess who was with him in his dying moments, jilli? Yes, you've guessed it, Ken! Deirdrie was in the background, displaying her sickening corded neck as usual.

9:29 pm

helenkeller

jili- go for it - god knows you've suffered through enough big brother episodes here

9:29 pm

Shannon1

finally. That took me a while. Thanks for all your help.

9:29 pm

TeaNCrackers

yay, Shannon

9:29 pm

helenkeller

wd shannon !

9:30 pm

jillibus

hahaha, Jac -- the corded neck! The other day I was watching an opera singer with the same thing -- a real put-off!

9:30 pm

jillibus

I made me think of Dreary!

9:30 pm

Jacula

Mike, jilli, had spent a night out in a park or somewhere in the dark and the rain. He made it back to Coronation Street somehow and then died.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Not a great end.

9:31 pm

jillibus

thanks for the update, Jac -- now I MUST go and eat -- 16 left which I may be able to get before the flip

9:32 pm

Jacula

As far as Corrie is concerned re directors who want rid of characters and writers that have to achive those aims... I'm gld I didn't accept the offer to be on the panel of writers.

9:33 pm

jillibus

Well, Jac -- at least it was a mercifully quick end for someone with that sad Long Goodbye.

9:34 pm

lbdawger

whoo hoo Shannon!

9:34 pm

Jacula

If, some day, they once again accept episodes from writer who have porven they know their Corrie history, but don't have to sit on that silly panel, then I will reconsider.

9:34 pm

jillibus

Wow, Jac!!! You could have been a Corrie writer?

9:35 pm

Jacula

Yes, jilli. That's not sao strange for a UK writer and lifelong watcher. LOL.

9:37 pm

Jacula

Today's TV 'ethics' mean that non-selling characters often have to undego totallly unrealistic personality changes.

9:38 pm

Jacula

I hav a problem with that.

9:38 pm

jillibus

I've been wondering what was going on with getting rid of so many of the regulars (I've been given some news about future - to us - demises, like Fred and who else -- don't tell me) and gather it is to grab the young crowd. So they are being stupid in getting rid of the people who have the money to suppoort the commercials which I assume Granada has?

9:39 pm

Quinten

any clues for either of the ae words?

9:39 pm

Jacula

jilli - it's all about money, not integrity, these days. That's why I don't often write stuff any more.

9:40 pm

jillibus

Bah, humbug, Jac, and a pox on them

9:40 pm

Jacula

ae5 - cup formd rust fungi on fruit trees.

9:41 pm

lbdawger

like what one might have done at a spa minus the f.

9:41 pm

Jacula

ae6/21 describes that.

9:41 pm

Jacula

ae + Criminal Investigation erm Agency.

9:41 pm

jillibus

Quint -- the ae words are almost the same -- ae + US intelligence group and a consonant added for the 6

9:42 pm

Quinten

thanks

9:42 pm

jillibus

OK, I'm going for supper! Back later

9:42 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I agree with you wholeheartedly.

'wholeheartedly' would be a damned good Babble score, should it ever appear in a grid!

As I am sure others have mentioned before Jac, Sudoku doesn't have a damn thing to so with math.

9:53 pm

brandyjack

it is strictly patterns. You could sub A-I for 1-9 and still do it.

9:54 pm

Jacula

BJ - yes, I have seen that. It's all to do with logic, Not my logic at present though.:(

9:54 pm

TeaNCrackers

this is true,bj

9:54 pm

lbdawger

sudoku is also played with letters

9:54 pm

brandyjack

all of which doesn't make it any easier....

9:54 pm

Jacula

But the patterns thing, I could cite for people trying to draw things from something they are copying.

9:55 pm

brandyjack

i do the easy and medium sudoku's at web.sudoku. Iron Sudoku is too damned hard for me even on the easy days.

9:55 pm

TeaNCrackers

bj - do you use the greens/reds?

9:56 pm

Jacula

For instance, I found a simple (I thought) logo for my step daughter's homework earlier. She tried to draw it but somehow got most of the lines in the wrong places.

9:56 pm

brandyjack

That's a minds eye thing Jac. I can't draw because my focus is too tight. I see the end of the pencil, but can't see where it is going and where it has been.

9:57 pm

Jacula

In the end, I did it for her and then counselled her about the 2 different colours to use. Until she used them, on the drawing I had made, she could not see the end result - a runnner. (She was designing a top for a marathon.)

9:57 pm

brandyjack

i've tried the greens/reds thing and the puzzles are just too darn hard.

9:57 pm

lbdawger

bj, i play the easy on websudoku try to beat my times

9:59 pm

brandyjack

and i work with computers and programming. Boolean logic was never my forte. Brute force and ignorance are my favored methods.... I leave the elegant logic state machines for twisted minds...

9:59 pm

Jacula

That's interesting, BJ, re the pencil's end and beginning. I just see the lines naturallly. I guess that is what mathemticians re problems.

10:00 pm

brandyjack

try drawing whilst looking thru a toilet paper roll. It doesn't work....

10:01 pm

dan2bit

yay fireworks!

Congrats, dan2bit!

stidmama

YAY dan2!

10:02 pm

Jacula

In the end, we found her what I thought was a simple running man on the Net. He had some stuff behind him, for this club etc., but I could blank that out and just see the runner. I did that re the extra lines for step daughter on the printout, but she still didn't 'get it' until she coloured the pic I had drawn in,

10:02 pm

dan2bit

river nymph had me stumped for quite a while

10:03 pm

brandyjack

LB, I don't actually use the site. I screensaved a bunch of easy and mediums and print them off with three of each to the page. I use them for bathroom reading material. Been using the same two pages for 8 months now. That's one of the things i like about sudoku. You can do the same dratted puzzles over and over again without being able to memorise them.

10:03 pm

brandyjack

thanks dan. needed that one.

10:04 pm

Jacula

There again, a few adjustments needed to be made tp said pic. A bend here, a flare out there.

10:04 pm

10:09 pm

renfield

10:09 pm

o-o

Your weather stinks?

10:09 pm

Jacula

BRab - my stepdaughter's. I wanted her to do it for herself. She diddd not seem to be able to. So, I found what i thought was a simple draweing and got her to draw it. It was all over the place. I then drew my version in rough for her, and tweked the net printing draing to show what I had done. She didn't manage to draw it all in the right place in the end and pleaded with me to do it for her. I ony agreed to do so after some persuasion, but just gave her the basic outline and told her to colour it in as I had earlier directed her to do; one light and one darker. She did do that and could then see the runner in the pic/

10:09 pm

evanonut

no ren, you need the third degree!! he he he

10:09 pm

lbdawger

10:15 pm

Jacula

Oh dear! He really should not have tangled with that SUV. Incidentally, where does the fault lie there?

10:16 pm

Jacula

Ah, you just told me.

10:16 pm

renfield

10:16 pm

Jacula

Doesn't make things better though, except that he maybe can't loxk kitchen.

10:17 pm

renfield

10:21 pm

libarebel

I guess better than half baked?

10:21 pm

brandyjack

stuffed potates Jac....

10:21 pm

renfield

they taste yummy - you bake the idaho bakers, scoop out the potatoe, mix up the butter, cheese and sour cream then re stuff the potato skin and bake some more

10:22 pm

brandyjack

works best with russets. New and yukon golds don't work very well.

10:23 pm

renfield

right brandy

10:23 pm

Jacula

BJ - OPh right, I get it now. But I can just dig them up and not buy them??

10:23 pm

evanonut

i think i'm gonna be off myself

10:24 pm

brandyjack

I canna make them. Womenfolk around here are all on weight watchers. I'd get skinned and stuffed into my own oven...

10:24 pm

Jacula

Maris Piper or Kin Edward's PI.

10:24 pm

brandyjack

If you are growing russets (most people don't).

10:25 pm

Jacula

Jacket potatoes are healthly diet options. It just depends what you choose to stuff them with.

10:26 pm

renfield

i wasn;t being healthy - i was being hungry - i had to do outside work today

10:27 pm

brandyjack

I don't think sour cream, butter, bacon bits or cheeses count as healthy...... Tasty, but not healthy. Chives are healthy....

10:27 pm

Jacula

Hi protein, low carbohydratee diet worked for me in 70s. However, it is not considered healthy now.

10:28 pm

renfield

you are right brandy- but it sure was yummy

10:29 pm

brandyjack

I don't have a weight problem (much) so I don't pay much attention to it. I just daren't risk making the things.... Eating them is good for me, making them isn't....

10:29 pm

Jacula

I couldn't eat potatoes or bread for 12 months. It worked! but all my friends thought I was anorexic, especially when I lost the weight an started eating again but just kept kept getting skinnier for 6 months.

10:30 pm

Jacula

I think the answe is 'have everything in moderation'.

10:35 pm

prismmgc2

ae 5/12 & 6/21 please

10:35 pm

Jacula

I'm off to cuddle up to mu cuddly chap right now. Maybe we are both a bit too 'cuddly' right now, Sane answer is keep your bodyweight within healthy boundaries, but don't be afraid to indulge or even overindulge every nw and again.

my favorite word today was an5/20

11:00 pm

Scarlet

Sometimes life holds a few surprises up her sleeves. Well, 'nite all, and see you tomorrow. Oh, Jili, all over the United States, Central America, lived in Venezuela for two years (during the Bay of Pigs incident) and some islands. Funny, we settled here... but it was to be close to the grandchildren.

11:00 pm
