FranMag

DRBERNABO

now if I can just get my eyes to unlock

12:51 am

Ankhorite

Flosey, Mohammed was reputedly so fond of cats, he cut off his sleeve once rather than disturb a cat sleeping on it. There's a cat in your icon, that will have to suffice. Heya, Nan!

12:51 am

:D

good job dr

12:51 am

FranMag

My children are fond of eating vegetables dipped in ***** ranch dressing

12:54 am

Ankhorite

Jilli, did you ever live in a time/place where men were still wearing puttees? (my phantom today)

12:54 am

Douglas

phantom scrawny

12:54 am

jillibus

My dad wore puttees in WW1

12:55 am

jillibus

He wore spats afterwards too!

12:55 am

Ankhorite

Ah! Well, tell me then, how did they get them on? And how did they stop them from scooting up their legs? And what was the point, exactly? Just cosmetic?

12:55 am

Douglas

A word used in the presence of the Supremes...

12:56 am

Ankhorite

Good clue, Douglas.

12:56 am

jillibus

I think puttees were wrapped around and around the lower part of the leg like an Ace bandage, then tucked in at the top.

12:56 am

lynxxx

I'm guessing leech prevention

12:56 am

Douglas

thanks Ankh

12:56 am

ADHDWordLover

what is a phantom?

12:56 am

Ankhorite

REALLY! What an aggravation that must have been, to get the folds just so? Yeah, Lynxxx, that sounds reasonable.

12:57 am

jillibus

I really don't know. Google?

12:57 am

Ankhorite

ADHD, nice to meetcha. It's a word your brain keeps INSISTING is in the grid, but it isn't.

12:57 am

FranMag

12:58 am

Douglas

ADHD, I'm meaning a word that's almost in the grid, but isn't because it's missing a letter or two

jean1953

bye MVA:)

3:06 am

which would be a K word... *shudders*
Hi BabbleRabble

3:06 am

that word is scary enough to be the cause of a phobia itself.

Hello

3:06 am

lynxxx

Hi BabbleR!

3:07 am

jean1953

hello babblerabble:)

3:11 am

I usually get a sense of that kakorr thing at 2/3 of the grid, when I know for certain that there cannot be many more words and still the total says there should be.

3:13 am

Merk

of 4,9 please

3:13 am

FranMag

ugh, 5 left and i can't for the life of me see them.

3:14 am

3:14 am

merk, it's a racial slur, o + f** wr** (of king kong)

3:14 am

so BabbleR - what is the definition of the K ridiculously-long -word

3:14 am

FranMag

hi une!

3:15 am

being very scared you won't succeed, I think

3:15 am

Uneaixoise

hey, fran--3:00 am and both dogs insisted they had to go pee so here I am!

3:15 am

lynxxx

Hello Unea

3:15 am

Uneaixoise

hey, lynxxx :-)

3:16 am

o-o

Kakorrhaphiophobia means "fear of failure" or "fear of defeat".

3:16 am

FranMag

i guess we know who the boss is. :-)

3:16 am

FranMag

wouldn't it be great to find that in a grid?

3:16 am

sprite

hey, I knew that :D

3:16 am

sprite

it would almost make me like K grids

3:16 am

FranMag

wtg sprite!

3:17 am

o-o

makes me wonder of the utility of the word when the definition is shorter than the word itself

3:17 am

sprite

though my def probably sounded kinda childish, lol

3:17 am

lynxxx

and think what the point score would be!

3:17 am

FranMag

hubby is home from a wedding expo, going to take another break. maybe the last 5 will pop out when i get back.

Just started myself but what's up with the WYA's?

3:55 am

babbz

3:55 am

babbz

i've been there 8 times and i could move there in an instant...but hard to make a living in hawaii from what i hear

3:56 am

FranMag

well, i moved here from Guam, it wasn't a huge step! also met a guy on-line from here, moved here to marry him.

3:56 am

Haz1558

I think that there is a network of friends and family who got each other addicted (in Wales). I refuse to share the addiction with my family in case I can't get to use the computer!

3:57 am

FranMag

3:57 am

4:05 am

Aloyisius

4:08 am

Aloyisius

4:08 am

Kazzer99

yeah - I had tried all the usual going to clubs pubs etc and it just didnt work but also it was quite safe because when you first met someone if they walked in and you thought yeuch than you could just walk away - only had to meet 3 or 4 strange men before I met him

4:08 am

FranMag

Gil and I got married 12 months after our first meeting on-line. We met in person after 6 months.

4:09 am

Kazzer99

Thats good and i itnk you are so lucky living there. One day if I win the lotto I might make it

yeah Odin, but the y's are a bit suspect!!!!!

5:20 am

Buttonman

thanks odin

5:20 am

Odin

My pleasure

5:21 am

Odin

Y's are always suspect sug. I am amazed at the number of words that end with a double consonant and y

5:22 am

Kazzer99

I looked up the y word and it derived from old scottish for a gate

5:22 am

sugar

they look like slang for the shaggy beasts from the mountains LOL!

5:23 am

Odin

Yekh Kazzer...I tweaked it on a chance and would never have known its derivative.

5:23 am

sugar

If we had to find room in the brain for those, where would we put the ones we need to communicate every day?

Here's a tale of computer stupidity......

While visiting a network user's office to install a small program (we use Windows NT 4.0 here), he asked:

* Tech Support: "Sir, Click Start, then Run, and type the letters C, M, and D."
* Customer: "Wait a minute, don't run off the end of the earth away from me now. I can only go so fast with this thing."
* Tech Support: "Sorry, sir. Did you click Start?"
* Customer: "Where is that start button? Oh, here is is. Now what?"
* Tech Support: "Um, did you click it?"
* Customer: "Dammit, no, do that now?"
* Tech Support: "Yes, then click on the word Run."
* Customer: "Dammit, slow down!!! Run, run, run, where the hell is run?"
* Tech Support: "Should be a the very bottom of the Start Menu that came up on the screen."
* Customer: "I already clicked Start. Click it again?"
* Tech Support: "No, it should be there in the lower left corner."
* Customer: "Hey, I found the word Run. You want that instead?"
* Tech Support: "Sure, why not? We'll see if that works. Did you click it?"
* Customer: "Yes."
* Tech Support: "Ok, type the letters C, M, and then D."
* Customer: "Slow down, dammit!! I'm not a programmer!!! I told you I'm only a car dealer!!"
* Tech Support: "Sorry, again, sir, what do you have there?"
* Customer: "Z."
* Tech Support: "No, we need 'C' like 'Charlie.'"
* Customer: "C-H-A-R--"
* Tech Support: "Not the whole word 'Charlie,' sir, just the 'C,' please."
* Customer: "If you don't want a Charlie, why tell me to type it?"
* Tech Support: "Um, what's in the box now?"
* Customer: "I'm trying to find the eraser here."
* Tech Support: "Just hit the backspace key."
* Customer: "That just moves it further to the right without typing anything."
* Tech Support: "Which backspace key did you press?"
* Customer: "The long one in the middle. I pressed it on the back side."

Eventually, we "found" the correct backspace key and got that Z replaced with a C.

* Tech Support: "Now that we just have a 'C' there, type an 'M,' like 'Mary,' but just the 'M,' ok?"
* Customer. "M-O-K."
* Tech Support: "Remember that backspace key?"
* Customer: "Yes."
* Tech Support: "Press it twice."
* Customer: "All right, but it took off the 'O' and 'K' you wanted."
* Tech Support: "Never mind that, I'll live. Now type a 'D,' just the letter D."
* Customer: "D. Now what?"
* Tech Support: "Now press the enter key."
* Customer: "E-N-T-E-R."
* Tech Support: "Is there anyone else around the lot that is maybe a little more familiar with computers than you are?"
* Customer: "Well, my wife uses one at her work and might be a little more familiar. She comes in in an hour. You want to talk to her?"
* Tech Support: "Yes, please."

ConXshun

I wonder where I got the fish definition from then... I'll check...

8:41 am

Book Doctor Gwen

even if it has one meaing as a pregnant fish, it will also be offensive to some people for its other meaning

8:41 am

evanonut

8:42 am

Vicuna

lol evano!

8:43 am

8:44 am

Vicuna

Very true, Gwen, but neither of my dictionaries says anything about fish.
Not fair, as usual! I'd rather be called a twit any day.

8:44 am

ConXshun

8:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

they do say there are 15 animals in a pair of panty hose . . .

Computer Stupidity:

I received a call from a friend who was fairly new to computing. He had bought a new game and was trying to install it on his PC, but the installation failed for some reason. So I asked what instructions he had, and he seemed to have some written installation notes, so I decided to talk him through the installation.

Step one, copy all files to c:\windows\fonts.

* Me: "Ok. Next step?"
* My Friend: "That is it."
* Me: "Huh? It doesn't say anything else?"
* My Friend: "No."
* Me: "... What is this game called?"
* My Friend: "Fonts."
* Me: "Fonts?"
* My Friend: "Yeah, and every file is all the letters of the alphabet."
* Me: "'Fonts' is not a game."
* My Friend: "What is it, then?"

After I explained what fonts were, he was less than happy at having spent $20 on something that was not a game. He didn't even have a word processor package on his computer at that time.

8:47 am

LoriP

Later evan.

ADHDWordLover

here's a helpful tip for the vatican if they still do it.....to get from st peteres to the vatican museum (and the sistine chapel) you have to walk all the way around the outer wall of the vatican to the museum 15-10 minutes and then usu wait on line to get in....but in 1997 there was an information office on the left side of st peters square and a large tour bus would come every hour or so which cost a $1 or 2...it would enter the Vatican grounds and drive you to a side entrance of the museum where you could enter without waiting on line....and you got to see the Vatican grounds which you otherwise cant enter

11:48 am

Dorens

aha... i just figured it out thanks

How old are you William? But don't tell me where you live. I don't think it is a good idea for young people to give their real names, ages and addresses or phone #'s over the internet. Too many mean people in the world.

Our heater is not working right so we had someone out to clean the ducts on Thurs. They got their machine stuck in the ducts and we had to cut a hole in the bathroom ceiling to get it out.

peri have you seen a doctor? they can write you a prescription for physical therapy for your shoulder.

1:22 pm

periwinkle

NO not yet Minski, My currrent prescription plan does not cover much but this will change next month.

1:22 pm

1:22 pm

Morning everyone.

1:26 pm

NonnieLight

hey lynxxx

1:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

you especially want to use heat before you do any exercises/movement and then ice afterward. At least, that is how we always did it when I had PT after my ankle surgery. The PT did that for everyone.

1:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

Heat to loosen it up and then ice to prevent swelling after.

1:26 pm

He was about to re-enlist at the time of the accident.

No problem. If we lived life frightened all the time, we wouldn't be living at all!

6:29 pm

Smdnjv

How very true!!

6:30 pm

gwenski

How long ago was the accident, if I may ask?

6:33 pm

gwenski

Thanks for sharing that.

6:37 pm

gwenski

Well, this is a GREAT place to find folks to talk to and listen! I'm just not on nearly as much as I'd like to be.

6:40 pm

Smdnjv

I usually do not chat...just "listen" to others while they chat. There are some very humorous conversations taking place here!!

6:41 pm

gwenski

Yes, sometimes it's great fun just to "listen"!

6:41 pm

Andree

6:42 pm

Andree

I love the chat as much as babble

7:52 pm

Mom

the chatlog is unusually quiet tonight

7:52 pm

pam

it is indeed...

7:52 pm

stidmama

I wonder if it's because we're all finished?

7:53 pm

Smdnjv

Stid..I love to Crochet..I could never quite get the hang of knitting. I envy you.

7:53 pm

Mom

I wish I could say I was.

7:53 pm

pam

finished? Not I, LOLOL

7:53 pm

specificity

are there any clues for the two Ys in the 2nd column?

7:54 pm

stidmama

I like to crochet too -- but I can't watch TV or the chat when I am doing intricate things, so I knit...

7:54 pm

stidmama

spec: it's a double consonant for the 4, then plural

7:55 pm

stidmama

as long as it's something simple... I can't count and think at the same time, you know!

7:55 pm

specificity

duh... now I feel brilliant... thank you muchly

7:56 pm

Smdnjv

last crochet project I did, I developed something called "trigger finger." I know a few people who could have indulged in some schadenfraude if they knew of my pain!! LOLOL

7:58 pm

stidmama

oh -- I have done that! throwing my finger out to position the thread, over and over and over... I used to do it when I knit also, then a friend from overseas showed me how she was taught and I adapted my crooked fingers enough that now it doesn't hurt any more.

7:58 pm

pam

lol, smd.....

7:58 pm

Smdnjv

I have two granddaughters living with me that I love to crochet sweaters, hats and afghans for. the girls are a great pleasure after raising all boys.

7:58 pm

stidmama

I am getting better at both those activities, but wish I had the stick-to-it-iveness to finish some of the pretty little embroidery things.

7:59 pm

Mom

I have made it to 70 and will call it a night.

7:59 pm

Mom

Good night all and I'll see everyone tomorrow

7:59 pm

stidmama

oh how wonderful! I have two boys, no girls. my sister in law has a little girl and a new boy, but they're so far away.

7:59 pm

stidmama

Good night, Mom! See you tomorrow!

8:15 pm

Smdnjv

ET's??

8:15 pm

8:57 pm

autumn moon

I am currently making a sweater from Elann that is worked all in the round, with the addition of sleeves. Looks like a pinwheel. Knitty also has a pattern for a uterus that I thought I would make for my friend after her hyst. My husband's aunt got the breast pattern from the cancer clinic

8:57 pm

Smdnjv

I crochet afghans to be given to children being pulled from their home and place in forster care. Also for the chidren of battered women.

8:58 pm

aknitter

hmmm a knit uterus! i saw that pattern, made me laugh i havce seen that pinwheel sweater it is lovely

8:58 pm

aknitter

smd that is a great place for afghans to go

8:58 pm

aknitter

i only wish i had more time to make things

8:58 pm

ollag

I'm still here just read SMD and her afghans that is a great idea. What wonderful people on babble

8:59 pm

autumn moon

I did the baby pinwheel sweater first, to test the pattern. Now making a larger one. Will have to readjust for all sizes. I knit during my bus commute and for 1/2 hour each night

9:00 pm

Smdnjv

It gives me pleasure to do this. I volunteer for United Way and have found that these blankets mean a lot to the children. Many times they are taken from the home with nothing but the close on their backs. the blanket becomes theirs!

9:01 pm

Ping

hi again, everybody

9:01 pm

autumn moon

bbl

9:01 pm

ollag

we all may be babble addicted but we are also angels

9:01 pm

Smdnjv

hi Ping

9:02 pm

aknitter

autumn moon i have been oobling that sweater, perhaps i should make it good idea to make the little one first

9:02 pm

Ping

9:03 pm

aknitter

no it isw stupid fingers that don't watch where they are going LOL

9:04 pm

Smdnjv

I have also made premie burial clothes. Moms and dad are so devastated by the death of their child that they have no idea what to dress the babies in for burial. BUT, I had to give that up when close friends baby was born with 19th chromosome. Hutt too much to see the baby in the outfit.

9:05 pm

lbdawger

wow you ladies are awesome.

9:05 pm

lbdawger

Hi Ping

9:05 pm

aknitter

i have read about that charity. too sad

9:06 pm

Ping

hi lbd

9:06 pm

Smdnjv

the upside is that there are fewer and fewer infant deaths. Science has come a long way.

9:06 pm

Ping

your grandson is adorable, lbd

9:07 pm

lbdawger

thanks Ping. i think so too, but i may be a bit biased lol

9:07 pm

aknitter

no lbd you are not biased at all

9:07 pm

Ping

do your grandchildren live near you?

9:08 pm

lbdawger

he's the only one, and they live in San Diego. :--(

9:08 pm

aknitter

well night all, off to knit a bit

9:08 pm

lbdawger

night ak

9:08 pm

Ping

good night, knitter

9:09 pm

Ping

that is a long haul

9:09 pm

lbdawger

they drove up for new years. had to bring the grandpuppy with them.

9:10 pm

lbdawger

took them 3 days of driving, and of course they had to hit the bad weather, coming and going.

9:11 pm

Ping

argh!

9:11 pm

lbdawger

i asked my son if he'd learned anything from this mode of travel...his responce "leave earlier."

9:12 pm

Ping

a no fly kind of guy?

9:13 pm

lbdawger

they fly a lot, just wanted to bring the dog with them this trip. not quite sure why since my daughter-in-law's father loves the dog and would be more than happy to watch her.

9:14 pm

Ping

a 3 day trip with a child/ren seems like a plan for madness to me - and i have a 1 and a 2 year old so i'm talking out of recent experience

9:15 pm

lbdawger

i can't imagine being in a car with kids no matter the age for any distance of driving. definitely a prescription for prozac!

9:16 pm

prismmgc2

sc 5/12 plz

9:16 pm

lbdawger

but i guess my grandson is like his daddy. gets into the carseat, goes down the road for a few miles and is out like a light til the car stops.

9:17 pm

Ping

both of mine a untalented sleepers, generally

9:17 pm

lbdawger

prism, shoo with an extra consonant at the end

9:17 pm

arwennn

hey all...

9:17 pm

lbdawger

hi arwen

9:17 pm

Smdnjv

Ping...I have two granddaughters that live with me..the oldest is nine and we have always been able to take her on long trips without a problem , but her 15 month old sister is a whole different story. I Would rather be thrown in a briar patch that to have to drive her a block .

9:17 pm

9:18 pm

autumn moon

ibd - I fly with my (120 pound) dog all the time.

9:18 pm

Ping

hi ar

9:19 pm

Ping

LOL SMD

9:19 pm

lbdawger

I don't think the airlines would allow her in the cargo hatch due to the temps, autumn

9:19 pm

lbdawger

smd! lol

9:20 pm

autumn moon

All the airlines have planes with heated cargo areas. You just have to arrange your travel around their schedules

9:20 pm

Ping

i never knew of heated cargo areas, moon

9:20 pm

lbdawger

my son doesn't know how to plan! (he gets that from HIS father)

9:21 pm

lbdawger

i didn't know about heated cargo hatches either.

9:21 pm

Smdnjv

I love her to death but I will love her in the house and not in the car. My older son wants us all to fly to visit him in Las Vegas. Beth and I will fly on on Plane and Papa and Jaime can take the next one. I am serious

9:21 pm

autumn moon

I have flown in all seasons. You just have to ask the airline which flight has the heated cargo space.

9:22 pm

Ping

interesting, moon - i will def remember that

9:22 pm

scrappy1mom

why would they need a heated cargo space???

9:22 pm

lbdawger

SMD! maybe she needs to be drugged before leaving the house? or maybe you need to be drugged?

9:22 pm

autumn moon

and remember, if you have a little dog, then they fly in cabin, not cargo.

9:23 pm

Smdnjv

I think we both will need to be drugged.

9:23 pm

lbdawger

my sister has a mini schauzer. and she travels with her all the time, except this fall when some snitty tsa agent said her carrier was too big! hello? it's the same one she's used for the last 12 years!

9:23 pm

autumn moon

scrappy - it's really cold way up there in the sky. During the winter, it gets to 0F in the cargo hold

9:24 pm

scrappy1mom

is there anything else other than luggage, etc. in the cargo hold

9:25 pm

autumn moon

dogs.....other cargo

9:25 pm

lbdawger

smd, maybe you can ride in the cargo hold?

9:25 pm

scrappy1mom

wouldn't the dog staying at a kennel be better?

9:26 pm

lbdawger

or put the baby in the overhead compartment.

9:26 pm

lbdawger

scrappy, for some folks they may need to have their dog with them as a companion animal or a guide dog.

9:26 pm

autumn moon

It is cheaper for me to fly my baby across Canada with us for a 14 day vacation than kennel her. Also, would you leave your kids in a kennel??

9:26 pm

Smdnjv

No thanks but I will check to see if Jaime can ride inthe cargo hlod.

9:27 pm

lbdawger

smd would

9:27 pm

scrappy1mom

I just was asking a couple of questions-is being rude called for?

9:28 pm

lbdawger

sorry scrappy, didn't mean to be rude.

9:28 pm

scrappy1mom

maybe you need to get the chip off your shoulder

9:28 pm

autumn moon

flight BC to Ontario = $140 round trip. Kennel 25 x 15 days = $375. Was your rude comment directed at me?

9:29 pm

scrappy1mom

no

9:29 pm

scrappy1mom

were you being rude?

9:30 pm

scrappy1mom

lbd was saying i need to ride in cargo hold

9:30 pm

lbdawger

smd and i are also carrying on a chat, and it crossed the line. i'm truly sorry for coming across rude.

9:30 pm

lbdawger

actually, i said smd could ride in the cargo hold.

9:31 pm

autumn moon

going back to the grid...I'm confused with the chat

9:31 pm

scrappy1mom

lol

9:31 pm

lbdawger

i think i'm leaving now, before i unintentionally hurt someone elses feelings.

9:31 pm

lbdawger

bye

9:31 pm

Smdnjv

Scrappy I don't think Ibd was being rude. I was being a little off the wall and lbd was playing along. We would never be intentionally rude to anyone. I took her comments as being funny....and it helps me to laugh!!

9:32 pm

autumn moon

bye IBD - until next time....

9:32 pm

scrappy1mom

was actually chatting with lbd-not smd

9:33 pm

Ping

scrappy, i agree with smd. i've chatted with lbd many nights and never remember her being rude to anyone

9:33 pm

Smdnjv

I did not realize that anyone else ws paying attention to us....and I would never put my granddaughter in a kennel.

9:33 pm

scrappy1mom

was talking about dog-not ddtr

9:34 pm

autumn moon

when in this chat...you are chatting with all that are logged on...not just one person. I didn't see anyone being rude to you, scrappy

9:39 pm

Ping

i agree, music

9:39 pm

Ping

9:39 pm

musicmom

I can stay for just a couple minutes and clue if anyone needs anything. Otherwise, I'm off to bed to allow the cold meds to work

9:39 pm

scrappy1mom

lol

9:39 pm

Smdnjv

this grid was definitely the easiest for me. I usually work hours and hour on a grid. This one only took hours.

9:39 pm

musicmom

I know Ping. I broke down and got hte list with 33 words left - just because I ws getting tired.

9:39 pm

musicmom

man my typing stinks

9:40 pm

Ping

9:41 pm

musicmom

Okay well if no one needs clues. I'll see you all tomorrow.

9:41 pm

Good night

10:00 pm

raelite

the first two letters of the word then it's length and point value

10:01 pm

raelite

so at 5.10 would be the word startsd with at, has 5 letters, and is worth 10 points

10:01 pm

scrappy1mom

oh ok-thanks! i am very new at this

10:02 pm

Young men, soldiers, Nineteen Fourteen
Marching through countries they'd never seen
Virgins with rifles, a game of charades
All for a Children's Crusade

Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed

The children of England would never be slaves
They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
The flower of England face down in the mud
And stained in the blood of a whole generation

Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a Children's Crusade

The children of England would never be slaves
They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
The flower of England face down in the mud
And stained in the blood of a whole generation

Midnight in Soho, Nineteen Eighty-four
Fixing in doorways, opium slaves
Poppies for young men, such bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a Children's Crusade
