Shalom Everyone

12:28 am

MonkeyMind

what does "phantom" mean...almost there but not quite?

12:29 am

DRBERNABO

exactly

12:29 am

MonkeyMind

shalom arb!

12:29 am

MonkeyMind

happy purim, ARB!

12:30 am

MonkeyMind

phantom: altimeter

12:30 am

melonheadjujube

shalom, ARB!

12:30 am

DRBERNABO

re 8/9

12:30 am

melonheadjujube

phantom is a word that you think is there, but it's not.

12:31 am

MonkeyMind

right

12:31 am

MonkeyMind

gotch melon

12:31 am

DRBERNABO

and no amount of typing will make it be there

12:31 am

MonkeyMind

lol

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

2nd that lol

12:32 am

ARB

Well, I certainly shut everyone up.

12:33 am

MonkeyMind

ARB! i wished you a Happy Purim

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

i'm deep in the grid, ARB

12:35 am

ARB

I had no chat for 8 minutes, and only after reloading the page do I see all the chat. Happy Purim one and all

12:35 am

MonkeyMind

lol

12:35 am

jillibus

oh -- just saw you, ARB -- shalom!

12:37 am

DRBERNABO

Not chat for 8 minutes? Us? Doesn't sound like us.

12:37 am

sprite

morning all! Can I wish everyone a happy Purim too or is that only for a happy few?

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

happy Purim to you too ARB

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

of course you can, sprite!

12:38 am

sprite

in that case: happy Purim :)

12:38 am

ARB

Like your hamentashen, Melon. Sprite, of course you can -- it's a victory over the wicked

12:39 am

jillibus

hi sprite

12:39 am

ARB

DrB, everyso often it happens -- my list gets updated with the words, but the chat log stands still and then all of a sudden, lots of entries with timestamps for several minutes.

12:39 am

sprite

we can never have enough victory over the wicked. Am looking it up now on google.

12:40 am

ARB

ps DrB, thankyou for the al 11

12:40 am

DRBERNABO

the chatterbox not movie unnerves me when it happens.

12:41 am

sprite

usually it is some hiccup of the site, lol, and not of us stopped talking

12:41 am

melonheadjujube

tx ARB - I actually made 5 dozen - yeast dough: poppy, apricot & prune.

12:41 am

ARB

It can legitimately happen when I'm on in the middle of my mornig and it's 3 a.m. in the US and quite early in Europe

12:42 am

MonkeyMind

hey ARB....clue for al11?

12:42 am

sprite

I love the special foods that go with the celebration!

12:43 am

sprite

you know what kind of day it will be, when your first word is 'coitus' and it is a phantom

12:43 am

MonkeyMind

lolol

12:43 am

MonkeyMind

i saw that too, sprite.

12:43 am

ARB

hehe Sprite

12:44 am

DRBERNABO

coitus being a phantom is never a good thing...

12:44 am

sprite

my thought exactly

12:45 am

ARB

I'll give it a try. al 11/96 is related to airplanes, I believe, so it is a compound word, comving a prefix for height and a measure for length

12:45 am

ARB

combining

12:45 am

DRBERNABO

circle gets the square

12:46 am

MonkeyMind

is it close to the phantom i saw?

12:46 am

DRBERNABO

yes

12:47 am

MonkeyMind

aaargh

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

tx ARB! good clue!

12:47 am

ARB

I tried not to be obvious.

12:48 am

MonkeyMind

hmmm...

12:49 am

DRBERNABO

If there was a u in this grid that would means another couple dozen words easily

12:49 am

MVA

hi all and happy Saint Pirran's Day!

12:49 am

sprite

yeah... coitus for instance :)
Thanks for the 11, got it. It ended a little bit different than I initially thought.

12:49 am

cybernan

that al is eluding me -- keep wanting to enter the instrument that measures altitude

12:49 am

sprite

hi MVA! Is that the same as Purim?

12:50 am

MVA

should have read Piran

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

cybernan, you are so cloes, just finish with efforts.

12:50 am

ARB

Nan - that's the direction, but as Sprite said, it ends a little different

12:50 am

Erda

Nan -- try pluralizing it

12:50 am

sprite

you are on the right track, nan. Take a double vowel in the last syllable.

12:50 am

DRBERNABO

yes, the second half is tricky

12:50 am

sprite

I mean, two vowels.

12:51 am

cybernan

but the instrument ends in the US spelling of the measurement and the british spelling doesn't work.

12:52 am

DRBERNABO

is the second half French? Or am I completely off base?

12:52 am

bookwomen

ty for 11

12:52 am

sprite

it does, take our clues and you are there.

12:52 am

Erda

I said: try pluralizing it

12:52 am

MonkeyMind

plural doesn't work

12:52 am

Erda

it does

12:52 am

MonkeyMind

british spelling?

12:52 am

sprite

last syllable: 'attempts'

12:52 am

ARB

Try

12:53 am

Erda

no

12:53 am

cybernan

ah -- finally -- thanks, sprite

12:53 am

MonkeyMind

doh! got it

12:53 am

MonkeyMind

doh! got it

12:53 am

MonkeyMind

phew.

12:53 am

DRBERNABO

british would be without the "extra" vowel, wouldn't it?

12:53 am

MVA

ty all got the al11

12:53 am

MonkeyMind

i lost like 5 pounds doing that one

12:53 am

DRBERNABO

Babble: its not just a game, its a diet

12:54 am

sprite

lol, teach me how to do that, MonkeyMind - with all these words I will be slim in no time!

12:54 am

MonkeyMind

lolol

12:54 am

MonkeyMind

ok. only 111 left. zzzzzzzzz

12:55 am

sprite

and there I was thinking you were a new addict coming on, MonkeyMind - but not when you go to bed with 111 left :)
Sleep well!

12:57 am

12:57 am

ARB

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

omg, "the yiddishe clipper" is in the grid - mo4 & 5.

1:03 am

DRBERNABO

Found that last 8. You find a 6-7 and forget it could be a 6-7-8. Duh. That's enough fun for one night.

1:04 am

cybernan

haven't found any of those 8-9 combos :(

1:04 am

DRBERNABO

Oh great, now I'll be thinking of Weird Al's "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi" alll night

1:05 am

ARB

Melon - kol hakavod -- I didn't even think to try that as a word!

1:05 am

melonheadjujube

rofl

1:05 am

melonheadjujube

it was a lucky guess

1:05 am

ARB

your monkeys work well

1:05 am

DRBERNABO

The last 8-9 combo is off of a 5

1:06 am

DRBERNABO

who doesn't want a well working monkey?

1:06 am

sprite

is that clipper as in boat or as in scissorlike thing?

1:06 am

DRBERNABO

latter

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

someone who clips. not a barber by any means.

1:07 am

sprite

ok, the traditional boy clipping then maybe *still looking*

1:07 am

ARB

Sprite, it's the man who performs the religious circumcision

1:07 am

cybernan

off ai 5?

1:07 am

DRBERNABO

no off of to5

1:07 am

DRBERNABO

the ai ain't off anything

1:08 am

cybernan

good heavens, arb -- how are we supposed to know that!

1:08 am

ARB

no, mo

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

ai is in a supermarket

1:08 am

ARB

I bet you can google it.

1:08 am

DRBERNABO

i love it when conversations cross and it takes five minutes to get things untracked...

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

it's not a usual spelling, i don't think. . .

1:09 am

sprite

lol DrB, I was just thinking the same thing

1:09 am

cybernan

only to 5 I have is the indian one

1:09 am

ARB

It's not, melon. And to boot, it's a real word (just looked it up) and has nthing whatsoever to do with a circumcision.

1:09 am

ARB

Nan, not to, mo

1:10 am

DRBERNABO

work off of that one (and think people)

1:10 am

cybernan

dr B said the last 8-9 combo was of a 5 -- to 5?

1:10 am

DRBERNABO

yes

1:10 am

DRBERNABO

that's the "other" conversation at this point

1:10 am

cybernan

I guess I have no idea which clues go with what!

1:11 am

walnutchen

evening all... total for today?

1:11 am

1:11 am

walnutchen

1:11 am

melonheadjujube

(to ARB) - oooohhhhh - now I need to look itup.

1:11 am

DRBERNABO

study the to 5 and then study it with your colleagues

1:12 am

cybernan

found them -- strange words!

1:12 am

sprite

now I need that m4/5 combo! My curiosity demands it!

1:12 am

DRBERNABO

i thought the 8 was a compound and then later it dawned on me that I was breaking it up in the wrong place

1:12 am

hi haz

Haz1558

Hello Andree - reasonable size grid today.

3:35 am

Andree

it is haz and seems easier in some ways than smaller grids

3:36 am

Haz1558

Did you get to see the lunar eclipse the other evening?

3:37 am

ARB

morning Haz. Yes, we saw the start of the eclipse close to midnight.

3:37 am

Andree

no i didn't

3:38 am

Haz1558

We were fortunate enough to be at a friend's house in the country on a cloudless night. It looked spectacular!

3:41 am

Andree

as i heard nothing about it except on babble, i presumed it wasn't on show in southern hemisphere

3:41 am

Haz1558

Possibly not, Andree. Your turn will come sometime!

3:47 am

Andree

must get some dinner, back later, 40 left

3:47 am

Enjoy your dinner, Andree.

well, pillow time for me... but can I help anyone with one before I poof

3:55 am

VolleymomDee

I thought so too Haz

3:55 am

Yes, Haz, very few nonsensical words

3:55 am

VolleymomDee

3:56 am

VolleymomDee

had never heard of one before; was fun reading about them

3:56 am

ARB

I used one on Saturday night at the reading of the Book of Esther in synagogue!

3:56 am

VolleymomDee

aww how wonderful

3:57 am

VolleymomDee

well all be safe and have a wonderful Monday; I'll see you at the flip! Hugs to all. *poof*

3:57 am

ARB

Quite a scene -- 50+ kids in costume making as much noise as they can! When I was a child every girl was dressed up as Queen Esther; nowadays they are Barbies

3:58 am

VolleymomDee

I would prefer the Queen Esther look, rather than the Barbie look.... seems to miss the point

3:59 am

ARB

Queen Esther is old fashioned. Need I say more? Even in ISrael, or maybe especially in ISrael

4:00 am

VolleymomDee

so true... even at my part time job, I am reminded often that I am "old" and "old-fashioned" ... drives me nuts

4:00 am

Haz1558

Just be glad they weren't dressed as BRATZ. Those dolls are hideous.

4:00 am

VolleymomDee

well must *poof* love to all

4:00 am

ARB

There were some of those too, Haz. The kids in ISrael watch TV just like in the rest of the world, see the commercials, etc.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Bye Volley - from another old-fashioned babbler!

4:01 am

ARB

bye Dee

4:02 am

Well, I suppose you have to blame the parents for buying the silly things.

I want one in my garden, Haz, for my kids at least!

6:47 am

Scrabbler

LOL, Inge2. That reminds me that in high school I was doing so poorly in typing (this was 1975 or '76), that I had to drop the course lest I get a D or F.

6:47 am

Haz1558

It would certainly save a lot of money, sprite!

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Funny clue, Hazel.

6:47 am

Wolvie

Oops, I used a word--just found it.

6:48 am

Inge2

hehe, scrabbler, nice.

6:48 am

Scrabbler

What is that, Inge2?

6:49 am

Inge2

tr7 and 8 combo. not really the railroad tie, more like the span or bridge, or a type of simple table

6:49 am

Scrabbler

Oh, we had that yest or Sat. TY

6:49 am

Inge2

6:50 am

LoriP

He's a very nice kitty. A step brother to our 2 cats.

6:52 am

Scrabbler

Cute, Inge2. I like learning pets' names--it is interesting to hear what people choose and why.

6:52 am

Inge2

aww...then all will get along fine

6:52 am

LoriP

He's stayed with us before, and they all get along and he's familiar with the house, so it will be great.

LoriP

G'd morning inge

7:06 am

inge

I turned her in as atroublemaker

7:06 am

evanonut

a simple declaration of me being your favorite person ever in the whole wide world will stop the nonsense ingy

inge

babblers, watch what you say, she will tattle every time

7:07 am

inge

well, you are on my Friends list

7:07 am

Haz1558

7:10 am

mine was worse, Dispatch. It was the very first word I saw: coitus.

Dispatch

7:11 am

Wolvie

we know where you mind is sprite. ;-)

7:11 am

sprite

cannot deny that :)

7:13 am

LoriP

How can a 4 letter word be so elusive. I am generally proficient with 4 letter words..... :)

7:14 am

lizmac

Any theme for icons today?

7:14 am

wurdygurl

ok I give up....I need a clue for the a 11

7:14 am

Wolvie

hi liz

7:14 am

Uneaixoise

grooming products!

7:14 am

sprite

Lori, what do you need?

7:14 am

Uneaixoise

me too, wurdy

7:15 am

Eva

wurdy-the science of measuring heights

7:15 am

lizmac

Fine, I think mine fits the bill!

7:15 am

Eva

and the plural

7:15 am

Wolvie

plural for the readings that the instrument that measure height takes

7:16 am

LoriP

nm finally found it sprite. (slaps forhead) Thanks anyway!

7:16 am

wurdygurl

thank you very much was giving me grey hair and I just had it colored lol

7:16 am

Aloyisius

Sprite, have a cup of Zapatista.. mmm, good

7:17 am

sprite

thanks Aloy! Needed that :)

7:18 am

Aloyisius

woman on tv had a 93 lb tumor, didn't know it

7:18 am

Eva

speaking of that wurdy-a question for the assembly of babble women of a certain age....I have always had my hari professionally colored in fear of turningmyself green or something. Do the home coloring kits really work?

7:18 am

wurdygurl

yes they do, as long as you dont go too far away from your natural color.

7:18 am

LoriP

Dunno', never dyed my hair in my life.

7:19 am

inge

thanks for the a 11 clue, even I found it at last

7:19 am

sprite

for green hair you have to bleach AND use something for red hair, Eva.

7:19 am

wurdygurl

I like te Feria it gives a lot of dimension and different shades of color

7:19 am

ch1212

I used Preference Creme by Loreal, eva -- tbe(so far) one time I've tried a home color kit

7:19 am

Wolvie

whoa aloy.

7:19 am

Wolvie

hi ch

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

yes, eva! they work just fine!

7:19 am

wurdygurl

or for green hair go blond and then swim in highly chlorinated pool

7:19 am

lizmac

Home kits work fine, and if you've got short hair you can get two sessions out of a pack!

7:19 am

wurdygurl

Prefernece creme is really good on grey stubborn hair

7:20 am

wurdygurl

I have really thick hair and need two kits

7:20 am

ch1212

hi wolvie -- I've been here awhile, just quiet (I know, unusual for me! :)

7:20 am

sprite

something like that happened to me too, Aloy. It is possible, if it grows on a place where you don't see it.

7:20 am

Eva

do you recommend a certain brand? And do you mean your original natural color? My "natural" color at this point is mainly gray-but I always have it colored they way it was-which is a medium brown with a little bit of red. Any tips for a first timer

7:20 am

LoriP

G'd morning quiet ch :)

7:20 am

Aloyisius

wow, sprite.. hers was ovarian cyst.. she is doing fine post surgery

7:21 am

sprite

Eva, as long as you don't want to bleach, you don't have to worry. Take a good brand and follow the instructions and you will be fine - and beautiful :)

7:21 am

ch1212

Eva, mine is also medium brown with red (redder when I was a younger Irish lassie) .. I use Light Reddish Brown by Loreal

7:21 am

wurdygurl

Eva...I dont even know what my natural color is anymore...I would stick to the color that matches your roots the closest

7:21 am

Aloyisius

weighed 563 lbs, 32 years old.. she's on NBC now

7:22 am

Eva

Will it make me thin too sprite? And as I have fairly long and curly hair, can I really do it myself or do I need help from a friend?

7:22 am

sprite

mine was the size of a small rugby ball, Aloy, the surgeon said.

7:22 am

wurdygurl

The thing to remember if you want to go with a red tint is that red does not hold as long, it fades quickly

7:22 am

Wolvie

I was wondering how you could miss 93 pounds - wow

7:22 am

Aloyisius

wow.. did it hurt?

7:22 am

sprite

only if you start drinking it, Eva, which I don't recommend :)
And you can do it yourself, it is easy. But it is more fun with a friend :)

7:23 am

Eva

It seems that most of the brown dyes end up giving you a little red highlight anyway.

7:23 am

ch1212

Eva you probably could on your own, but it's more fun to have a friend help

7:23 am

hurshy

i have long hair, i've done it myself... i mean i've just done the washout kind for fun, i don't have grey.... but it is real easy

7:23 am

sprite

not when it was there, Aloy. Taking it out was worse, lol.

7:23 am

wurdygurl

I always need help I cant ever seem to get my roots good enough and if you hair is long you might need someone to help with the back

7:23 am

wurdygurl

i am color applying challenged though

7:24 am

Eva

Thanks everyone! I think you've given me the courage to do it at home, with a friend. Maybe I'll start by trying a small section underneath or something.

7:24 am

ch1212

hurshy i'm so glad you managed the icy rain storm we had last week. I thought about you. It was worse I think here in north central Mass.

7:24 am

lizmac

hoist

7:24 am

Yes wurdy-and I'm not always happy with the professional results either.

7:25 am

hurshy

yeah, it was pretty much just rain when i drove.

7:25 am

lizmac

oops,sorry

7:26 am

LoriP

The last ce 6/21 had me pulling my hair out. I always forget that possible vowel ending. Ack!

7:27 am

sprite

7:27 am

Wolvie

7:29 am

Eva

7:29 am

Haz1558

You're doing fine, Wolvie!

8:04 am

LoriP

mom, go to page, select text size

8:04 am

LoriP

Are you in explorer or firefox mom?

8:05 am

momof3boys

go to page, where??? i already went into control panel, settings and set them to normal..that didn't help

8:05 am

momof3boys

she also made my screen smaller..

8:05 am

LoriP

Forget the control panel, it isn't there

8:05 am

momof3boys

this is why i don't let people use my computer!!! lol

8:05 am

LoriP

explorer or firefox mom?

8:05 am

orionova

Mom, hold down your ctrl button, and use the wheel on your mouse to adjust the text size.

8:05 am

momof3boys

God, Lori..where would i be without you ??? lol

8:06 am

LoriP

Got it mom?

8:06 am

momof3boys

uummm...explorer i believe

8:06 am

hurshy

um, but if it is the whole screen, not just the web, she does need control panel.

8:06 am

momof3boys

yeah..it isn't actually the text..it is the picture..

8:06 am

hurshy

control panel, and then (depending on which version of windows) either display or "appearance and themes"

8:07 am

hurshy

do you see that, mom?

8:07 am

momof3boys

my screeen doesn't take up my whole monitor anymore..there is now a border..i can't see the whole grid and the chat box at the same time...

8:07 am

hurshy

which do you have, "display" or "appearance and themes"

8:07 am

LoriP

Ahh, the whole thing, not just the text. That's different

8:07 am

momof3boys

ok...let me try appearances..and put mike on the bus...give me less than 5 minuts...

8:08 am

hurshy

ok, then choose "change the screen resolution"

8:08 am

momof3boys

ok..i have appearance..

8:08 am

momof3boys

after resolution...???

8:08 am

hurshy

then there should be a sliding bar

8:09 am

hurshy

set it to 1024 by 768, see if that is more to your liking.

8:09 am

ExWren

Oh Orionova, I didn't know you could do that with the wheel on your mouse, but I had the hell of a job to get it back to the right size. Good game though

8:10 am

momof3boys

i see appearances..but there is no resolution..other than color

8:11 am

hurshy

oh, sorry - you have to go to the "settings" tab

8:11 am

Sudokuaddict

look at the box that says screen area next to the color

8:11 am

hurshy

then you should see the sliding bar.

8:13 am

momof3boys

ok..let me look..i have mike going on the bus, vin trying to get his own cereal..the dog grabbing everything in sight..and i am trying to fix a screen when the window keeps disappearing LOL....why do i do this to myself...

8:14 am

Aloyisius

breakfast break.. bb soon, 18 to go

8:15 am

Wolvie

bye aloy

8:15 am

Wolvie

39 left here

8:15 am

momof3boys

ok...now it is way too small LOL...they don't give a choice other than 800 and then 1024..or something like that..how do i get in between there?

8:16 am

hurshy

is it not a sliding bar?

8:16 am

momof3boys

actually, this might be ok, if the screen took up the whole monitor area...i still see a black border, instead of using all the space.

8:16 am

hurshy

you should be able to slide the bar left and right to various positions until you get the size you want.

8:16 am

momof3boys

it is a sliding bar hurshy..but it goes from one space to another....doesn't let you stop in between the slashes (like on a ruler)

8:17 am

hurshy

1024 by 768 is usually good...

8:17 am

hurshy

did you click "apply"?

8:17 am

momof3boys

looks like one inch, two inch..it doens't let me stop on like, 1 1/2 in...understand what i am trying to say

8:17 am

momof3boys

how do i do by 768????

8:18 am

hurshy

i understand, that is the way it is supposed to be.

8:18 am

momof3boys

i see 1024...but i don't see the 768

8:18 am

hurshy

the second dimension should go with the first automatically.

8:18 am

momof3boys

you are right..it is there.

8:19 am

hurshy

so try 1024 and click apply, see if that is good.

8:19 am

momof3boys

how do i lose the border all around my screen?? i like it to fill the whole monitor space?

8:20 am

hurshy

actually, for that you might need to push buttons on your monitor.

8:21 am

hurshy

do you have four buttons on your monitor, 1 < > 2?

8:21 am

Sam

F11 for full screen

8:21 am

momof3boys

i tried that..alright.at least now i can see the grid and the chat..lol..when my friend comes over, i will make her get rid of this annoying border..besides i can only stay a few minutes anyway..i should really be gone already

8:22 am

hurshy

ooh, didn't know about the F11 shortcut.

8:22 am

momof3boys

wow..that f11 didn't solve the problem..but it is cool for a quick fix..ty

8:22 am

momof3boys

f11 got rid of the favorites and the toolbar..but it didnt lose the border nonsense

8:22 am

Sam

yw

8:23 am

Sam

is it that blue woven-looking border?

8:23 am

momof3boys

no..just black....

8:24 am

momof3boys

hitting the double sq thing next to the red x doesn't help either.

8:24 am

Sam

ah, you need to adjust your monitor settings to expand the screen image horizontally and vertically to get rid of the black edges

8:24 am

momof3boys

that sounds right..but how do i do that?

8:25 am

momof3boys

i thought if i put the mouse there, that double arrow thing would appear and i could stretch it, but no such luck

8:25 am

Sam

usually the buttons on the front of the monitor do it. there's a menu button and four arrow keys

8:25 am

momof3boys

these four buttons up front say...esit, menu and two picutres..one looks like a light bulb and the other a circle, split in half.

8:26 am

Sam

push menu and see what happens\

8:26 am

momof3boys

only gives me contrast

8:27 am

Sam

you may not have size control then

8:27 am

momof3boys

but it was always right...then these two 9 y/o touched crap yesterday and screwed it up !!! li'l brats LOL

8:28 am

Sam

ask them now. they know, i'll bet ;->

8:28 am

Wolvie

well folks, I am tuckering out - 32 left and I'm going to take a break - bbl this afternoon to finish

8:28 am

momof3boys

you are probably right LOL

8:28 am

Sam

*how, i meant

8:28 am

momof3boys

ok..i gotta run anyway...i should be at school already...ty for the help e1...

8:28 am

ExWren

Thats a couple of things I've learned today - didn't know about F11 Sam, that was quite interesting. I suppose I have mom to thank for this learning event

8:40 am

hurshy

babblers, advice please. i found a job on craigslist that would be perfect for me, and sent my resume in. but i have no idea how much it pays... and i kind of need to know that ASAP because a number of decisions are hinging on it. it says "please, no phone calls about this job" as many of the ads do, but do you think it would be absolutely horrid if i DID call and express my enthusiasm for the job?

8:42 am

Aloyisius

hurshy, I would express interest in the same mode, ie by internet and ask for permission to call for further info

8:43 am

hurshy

but if they don't respond to my FIRST email today, why would they respond to a SECOND email today?

8:43 am

Aloyisius

ooh, didn't know about lack of response.. and you did express a time line?

8:44 am

hurshy

no, well, at the time i was just applying, but now i've realized i kind of need to know today a) approx how much it pays and b) whether they are at all interested in me

8:45 am

hurshy

i mean i sent the app friday night, so it's not like they are being unreasonably slow, today would be the first time they COULD reply. that's why i am worried that they won't reply today, i mean, they don't know i need to find things out ASAP.

8:45 am

Aloyisius

you could tell them you have received another offer(s) and you would rather not accept until you hear from them because the job seems ideal..

8:46 am

hurshy

ooh, but that would be lying!

8:46 am

hurshy

can i do that?

8:46 am

Aloyisius

well, "considering another offer" is not lying

8:46 am

hurshy

but i have not got another offer

8:47 am

ExWren

And you wouldn't be the first to tell a porky

8:47 am

hurshy

unless you count "staying here and being supported by my husband"

8:47 am

Aloyisius

good.. so, you would be truthful

8:48 am

periwinkle

Hi all,

8:48 am

periwinkle

porky? never heard that term ExWren

8:48 am

Aloyisius

hi peri.. don't see you in the grid for a change, lol

8:48 am

ExWren

porky pie = lie. A bit of cockney slang

8:48 am

periwinkle

no not today, Aloy

8:49 am

hurshy

my sources tell me they have not yet filled the position, so that is something. i feel sure they would hire me (is that arrogant?)... it really is a perfect match.

8:50 am

I'm thanking you as well Aloyisius

8:58 am

well, if they are impressed by initiative, how could you lose?

8:59 am

but what if they aren't impressed by initiative? lol

8:59 am

Aloyisius

hi ExWren, yw

8:59 am

ExWren

At least you would know, one way or the other

8:59 am

8:59 am

Aloyisius

lost my post.. hi ExWren, yw.. howdy Bloodaxe

8:59 am

hurshy

but i have to give my name i want to know if they are interested in me at all

9:00 am

prismmgc2

As an employer I look for people who take the initiative to call & find out. It says that they're motivated & self-starters

9:00 am

Bloodaxe

i'm sorry. i thought you just wanted to inquire about how much the job pays

9:00 am

hurshy

even if you put "please, no phone calls" in the ad, prism?

9:01 am

prismmgc2

I don't put that in the ad. <grin>

9:01 am

hurshy

sigh.

9:01 am

prismmgc2

I thought you had already applied for the job

9:01 am

Uneaixoise

on craigslist it's a standard thing you check or no

9:02 am

hurshy

so do you think maybe it doesn't mean much then, une?

9:02 am

hurshy

like what would be the motivation for checking one vs. the other?

9:02 am

Uneaixoise

I always assumed it was to weed out the non-serious

9:02 am

PastorJ

hurshy, you don't know me from Adam, but I know from experience if they say don't call and you call, they probably will write you off as someome who does not follow directions! I'd stick with emails. Good luck to you!

9:02 am

prismmgc2

Have you applied?

9:02 am

hurshy

i did apply, but i kind of need to know TODAY if it pays enough for me to live on

9:03 am

prismmgc2

You can call them, tell them you put in an application on _______ (whatever date) and you were curious about a few things

9:03 am

instantfame

188 words in 9 minutes, but now im slowing down

9:03 am

prismmgc2

What kind of compensation package do they offer

9:03 am

ExWren

Why is it aboslutely necessary to know today?

9:03 am

hurshy

but what about what pastor J said?

9:04 am

hurshy

it's kind of complicated, exwren...

9:04 am

prismmgc2

and at the same time find out when the closing date on applications are

9:05 am

Aloyisius

fireworks, fun grid today

9:05 am

ExWren

But I think I agree with pastor, you go against their instructions, thenyou could be a trouble maker

9:05 am

Uneaixoise

hursh, I can't imagine they would hold it against you if you explain WHY you need info ASAP

9:05 am

Uneaixoise

congrats, aloy!!

9:05 am

prismmgc2

WTG Aloy!

9:05 am

little mim

hurshy Ring as someone who is interested in applying for the job, but need to know if the salary is suitable - before you apply (white lie)

9:06 am

hurshy

so basically, it depends on the person's personality. if they are like une, all good, if they are like exwren and pastor j, no good

9:06 am

ExWren

she doesn't want to ;ie

9:06 am

Aloyisius

salary is probably "commensurate with experience".. or there may be a job scale rating, as in the govt

9:06 am

prismmgc2

You don't need to explain to them why you need the info.

9:07 am

Uneaixoise

i understand . . . I break out in a sweat just considering the possibility of having to lie in a situation like that!

9:07 am

hurshy

they said to send in salary expectation, which i did. i would totally take a little less for this job. but not a LOT less.

9:07 am

Uneaixoise

did you say "willing to negotiate"?

9:07 am

hurshy

if it is $5000 less than i want, i would do it, but any more than that lower and i can't

9:08 am

hurshy

i said a salary of "around such-and-such"

9:08 am

hurshy

that sounds willing to negotiate, right?

9:08 am

prismmgc2

Did you apply for the position online?

9:08 am

hurshy

yes, prism, via email.

9:08 am

Uneaixoise

hmmmm . . . dunno . . .

9:08 am

prismmgc2

and is it a local company?

9:08 am

hurshy

i wish people would just always post the salary range when they post a job!!!

9:08 am

Uneaixoise

but i'm no expert, hursh

9:09 am

hurshy

it's not local to where i am now, local to where i am supposed to be moving in 2 days.

9:09 am

prismmgc2

Ok. Here's my advice:

9:09 am

ExWren

Surely another email wouldn't hurt, that's not phoning

9:10 am

PastorJ

haven't always been a pastor; I used to be an employer. Enthusiasm is good; pressure is bad. One well-worded email indicating your sincere interest and your willingness to negotiate salary, just as a followup to your application, is about all you can do. Some people come across as wanting to get a job just so they can relocate, and then they leave for something else. You don't want to sound like that. I agree, they should just post the salary range so people would know!

9:10 am

Aloyisius

well, I'd like to stick around but must go.. happy babbling all.. good luck with your decision, hurshy - maybe you will soon get a reply and that will solve the conundrum.. hope so! Byee

9:10 am

prismmgc2

1. Call them & ask where they are in the application process.

9:10 am

hurshy

it's a non-profit, if that makes any diff...

9:10 am

prismmgc2

2. ask them what the compensation package is

9:11 am

prismmgc2

in the meantime get more applications out

9:11 am

prismmgc2

don't put your eggs in all 1 basket. You'll want other options

9:11 am

hurshy

oh, i have tons of apps out, and some people want to interview me. only, i want THIS job.

9:11 am

Sam

imo, never, never ask about compensation until they offer a position

9:12 am

ExWren

I am still agreeing with pastor j

9:12 am

Sam

inquire about status, and indicate you are very interested in the position

9:13 am

hurshy

ok, i will send second email, and then try to take spock's advice

9:14 am

prismmgc2

"spock's advice"?

9:41 am

hurshy

good one, brabble

9:43 am

babbz

hurshy, I was lurking on the tail end of your interview saga, and just wanted to give you a suggestion - send the hiring authority a hand-written note, thanking them for the time they spent with you in the interview, and repeat how you feel you can do the job and what's more, how much you would like to work with them. In this day of electronic mail, a hand-written snail-mail note is a refreshing and often will sit on someone's desk for some time, reminding them of you. If it's a choice between you and someone else equally qualified, that could tip things into your favor. good luck.

9:44 am

hurshy

oh, i definitely will, after the interview! only, i haven't had it yet, i've only sent in my resume. and i just am wanting to find out if there is any chance.

9:44 am

babbz

oh sorry, thought you already interviewed, lol!

9:44 am

hurshy

the thing is, it is seriously a perfect fit. i mean perfect. like as if the job and i were made for each other.

9:45 am

hurshy

and me, loving novels as i do, it is very tempting to be like, well, of course it will work out then, because it has to, it is so perfect.

9:45 am

hurshy

but, um, i don't think life works like that.

9:45 am

hurshy

wish it did :(

9:47 am

STOP WORRYING! CAHNNEL EBERGRY IN TO THE POSTITIVE

9:47 am

on the plus side, worrying seems to be very good for my word finding.

9:48 am

hurshy

except for that stupid upper S... what on earth 8 more words can i find from there???

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

oy

9:48 am

babbz

then here's my suggestion for you - call the hiring authority (not H.R.) and tell them that you've forwarded on a resume and wanted to confirm that he/she has seen it - and you would love the opportunity to set up a time to get together. And by the way, it's not pushy to send the 2nd email, but people rely on email far too much these days and it's too easy for people to procrastinate calling someone back. IMHO, people create opportunities for themselves and being at the right place at the right time and just plain luck also play into things...be professional, be sincere, but don't let your resume end up in the circular file - make things happen for yourself.

9:49 am

hurshy

sorry temple, am i being aggravating?

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

no you are being hurshy! : ) : ) : )

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

now you aer frettinga bout the upper s

9:51 am

hurshy

oh, here is a good sign, i think. another non-profit has listed a similar level job for the salary range i'm looking for.

9:51 am

hurshy

i know i am fretting about the upper S, i was afraid that was what was aggravating :)

9:51 am

o-o

have you read my bio-preach, hursh?

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

no -profits are whereit's at, hursh - if i may be allowed a bit of vernacular

9:52 am

hurshy

now i have brabble :) you always have good bio-preaches.

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

i am doing my thesison that. NO I AM NOT DONE YET

9:52 am

hurshy

temple, was that "no - profits are where it's at" or "non-profits are where it's at"?

9:53 am

cybernan

Hurshy, I'm sure if you have the qualifications they are lookin for you will make the short list and be hearing from them soon. I don't think an application followed by continued e-mails until you hear back from them is going to help -- just my opinion :)

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

non. it's the valium, i can't help it

9:53 am

hurshy

yes, you are quite right cnan. my email has a "retract" button... do you think it works? do you think i should use it on that second email?

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

let it go hursh. it they like you it will work. if they fdon't no amount of followup will help

9:55 am

hurshy

i found 3 of those S's, btw :) :)

9:56 am

K.Elisabet

On the other hand, I missed out on a great job once because the HR department messed up and never forwarded my application to the hiring department. It wasn't until after they had hired someone else that my boss (I had just started working pt in the department already) asked why I hadn't applied.

9:57 am

ursh

Hello all - Hurshy relax now you have done what you could - take a chill pill and let it be

9:57 am

hurshy

i doubt they even have an HR dept, it probably just goes right to the relevant person, in this case.

9:57 am

hurshy

there are too many other hands around here, i feel like an octopus

9:57 am

babbz

Precisely, K. Elisabet. Tho I am sorry I stuck in my two centinos before. It seems I can't start my day out without messing in someone else's business.

9:58 am

i do appreciate all the different perspectives, though :)

12:49 pm

Scarlet

There are so many words that are common, and Babble won't take... but a simple word to demonstrate a trial that wasn't up to snuff is rejected... moan, groan, sputter!

12:50 pm

grammaterri1

12:50 pm

hetty

flosey, someone was asking about you yesterday and i don't recall who it was--I said you were around though, collecting fireworks a usual

1:03 pm

jillibus

I love clueing but seldom finish soon enough to be of any use

1:04 pm

Scarlet

You're exactly right, flosey. Some folks actually get angry when their clues aren't picked up right away... I could never figure that one out!

1:04 pm

flosey

but your clues are good too jilli

1:04 pm

jillibus

chj used to be great too but seems to have abandoned the chat

1:04 pm

flosey

some offer clues that go right over my head lol - too cerebral I guess

1:04 pm

Mary

Have the same problem, Jill, and before I can think of a clue, someone beats me to it, in fact, several answers.

1:04 pm

grammaterri1

same here flosey lol

1:05 pm

flosey

yes, I don't bother trying when the really good cluers are in

1:05 pm

1:06 pm

jillibus

flosey -- you're a really good cluer!

1:06 pm

Scarlet

And you don't call yourself one of "those"?? LOL, flosey... you are a huge help!

1:06 pm

flosey

grammaterri1

break time for me, bbl, good luck all

1:09 pm

Scarlet

Months ago, when I was just learning the Babble-speak, someone clues the snake vowel. I asked what it was, and apologized for my ignorance. The cluer started yelling in caps. to say the curvy vowel... I was at sea, until a compassionate Babbler told me it was an "s". Vowel?? Oh, boyoboyoboy!

1:09 pm

grammaterri1

lol book, you comin over?

1:09 pm

1:11 pm

lynxxx

Scarlet - some Babblers are unfortunately quite forceful

1:11 pm

lynxxx

bye Mary

1:11 pm

flosey

Scarlet, that must have been one of the very strict ones who doesn't go for much in the way of clues

1:12 pm

Scarlet

And a tad hyper, but it takes all types. LOL, flosey. I thought I was in the Twilight Zone for a day or two...

1:13 pm

flosey

indeed, one has to think of the great number of babblers, we can't all think alike

1:13 pm

Uneaixoise

1:15 pm

jillibus

will somebody please explain to enable that er5/10 is not a word, whereas er4/4 (which is not allowed) is "Er**, synonym for Irish and sometimes also for Scottish Gaelic. See Celtic languages." in the encyclopedia?

1:15 pm

flosey

BTW has anyone heard from Kate since she moved to Ontario?

1:16 pm

little mim

tha nk you Scarlet I am new and learning all the babble speak is good fun

1:16 pm

momof3boys

hey e1

1:16 pm

Mom

Hi all, I have been following the chat. I have to agree with Scarlet, when I started in Aug. of 2005 I played for a while and had a rough go of it with clues (giving and gettng) to the point I just quit. That is, until Aug. of 2006. I found this to be a Godsend for me. So may lovely people here, and more and more new ones everyday. Thank you, all for being here.

1:16 pm

Uneaixoise

i was here a couple of times when Kate dropped by the chatlog--she seemed really happy!

1:16 pm

flosey

glad you came back Mom

1:16 pm

glad you came back, MOM!

1:17 pm

Scarlet

Kate is doing well, and in her new apartment. Thanks, mom, some folks are more gentle than others. Little mim, it is fun with most of us, though!

1:17 pm

Mom

Hi Lynxxx. I am too Flosey

1:17 pm

Uneaixoise

wangs4 has to do with measuring elevation

1:17 pm

momof3boys

speaking of some being more gentle than others, how is this grid?? lol

1:17 pm

Mom

I am not "into" finishing. I am here for the fun of it and of course the conversations

1:17 pm

LoriP

G'd afternoon Babblers!

1:17 pm

Hi Mom of 3. Are the boys happy now?
It is an okay grid.

1:18 pm

Mom

Hi Lori

1:18 pm

flosey

good for you Mom - it bugs me not to finish something and as a result my house shows it !!!

1:19 pm

momof3boys

yes, they are happy...the puppy is back..right under my feet, in fact...how many words on the grid.. thanks for asking, btw

1:19 pm

bettyruthe

Well, I guess I'll stick my nose in here, too, while we're on the subject. I've been playing a couple of weeks, and I'm already hooked. It took me a while to figure out the clues and the list and the code, and when I finally did, I won my first game. I was so happy, and I jumped in to tell somebody, but not one person said anything to me. So I've just been playing and watching.

1:19 pm

Uneaixoise

is6 is plural of is5 . . . rhymes with tough nonmeat in a steak . . . or a pretty tall weed

1:19 pm

lynxxx

is6 - th***** are the national flower of Scotland - drop the ist 2 letters

1:19 pm

flosey

so you see where my priorities are lol - come from a family of neatniks too! ah well, always one black sheep

1:19 pm

Uneaixoise

235 words

1:19 pm

Scarlet

It's a fun grid, momof3. I have 57 left and must pull away for awhile... housework, you know. I'll savor the rest later. Thanks for all the clues everyone! BBL

1:19 pm

Uneaixoise

didn't know it was the national flower of Scotland--cool!

1:19 pm

Mom

I know what you mean. If it weren't for having a husband and a son at home my priorities would be Babble first and all other things behind that

1:20 pm

Uneaixoise

bye, scarlet--i've gotta run too--later, everyone--happy babbling!

1:20 pm

momof3boys

sorry to hear that betty....lori and green helped me with my only win...usually e1 congrats you...maybe it got lost in the chat jump

1:20 pm

lynxxx

1:20 pm

Mom

Delayed Fireworks for BettyRuthe.
I always try to answer and send congratulations. Sorry I wasn't here when you finished the grid

1:21 pm

jillibus

bettyruthe -- that's a shame! Sometimes people get so wrapped up in the chat, and it goes so fast, that they don't notice a name. It's happened to me lots of times -- doesn't mean anything.

1:21 pm

flosey

bye for now une

1:21 pm

Scarlet

Oh, bettyruth, I am sorry that noone decided to talk to you. I've never seen your name before. We're really nice people!

1:21 pm

Mom

1:21 pm

bettyruthe

Mom

Speaking for myself (and probably all here) I do too

1:22 pm
