Haz1558

Hello there!

Hello Zenmed

An invasion of two!

3:40 am

Haz1558

Good morning Zenmed.

3:40 am

Atalante

and a spaniel

3:40 am

Haz1558

Indeed - bringing up the rear.

3:40 am

Ogdens Nut

Hi Haz,pink,groovy &Ata

3:40 am

Atalante

LOL yes

3:41 am

Atalante

Hobbit still hasn't recovered from her mad dash around the fields yesterday. she's just snoring and refusing to move

3:41 am

Ogdens Nut

& Hi to spangle

3:42 am

Atalante

lovely wiggle tr7/32

3:42 am

Haz1558

Thank you Zen.

3:43 am

Ogdens Nut

On this occassion Enable is okay; one cannot have a single entrail

3:43 am

Haz1558

It wouldn't feel wiggly if it was stuck in the right/wrong places.

3:43 am

Atalante

I'm sure you could have a single entrail if you tried *really* hard

3:44 am

Haz1558

If you followed the right sort of diet, do you mean?

3:44 am

Atalante

yes, maybe!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Not so much Atkins as the Single ENtrail diet.

3:44 am

Atalante

a gillian mckeith diet, or whatever her name is

3:45 am

Haz1558

You write it, Atalante, somebody's bound to buy it.

3:45 am

Atalante

ooo probably! I'll make a fortune!

3:46 am

Haz1558

I demand a cut, it was my idea.

3:46 am

GroovyKiwi

fireworks for me

3:47 am

Atalante

2% sounds good

3:47 am

Atalante

YAY groovy!

3:47 am

Haz1558

Well done Groovy!

3:47 am

pinkhatlil

yay for Groovy!!!!

3:47 am

GroovyKiwi

anyone need clues before i fall asleep and get keyboard face lol

3:47 am

Haz1558

2%? Do you think my name is Heather Mills?

3:48 am

Atalante

Hazel ... Heather ... near enough

3:48 am

Ogdens Nut

Ata, you're dealing with a ballymena woman here!

3:49 am

Haz1558

Zen - they don't realise that Ballymena has such a fearsome reputation. We take no prisoners when it comes to bargaining.

3:49 am

Atalante

LOL ok, 3% and an exclusive deal on the lo-cal strawberry and real chocolate (honest) cereal bars

3:49 am

NonoNanette

Morning babblers and congrats groovy

3:49 am

Ogdens Nut

They do now Haz

3:50 am

GroovyKiwi

good eve nono happy babbling

3:50 am

Haz1558

You'll never be able to sell the Single Entrail diet if there are strawberry and cereal bars to be had. This diet needs to make you suffer.

3:50 am

Atalante

hmmmm. ok. liver extract and prune bars then

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning Nono.

3:51 am

Haz1558

That's MUCH more like it. And then we could sell it to dogs as well.

3:51 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Nono

3:51 am

GroovyKiwi

ok going once for clues

3:51 am

NonoNanette

just got started so ok for now but thanks groovy

3:51 am

GroovyKiwi

going twice

3:52 am

GroovyKiwi

going three times

3:52 am

Atalante

lol yes! they could have those sterilised bones stuffed with liver extract and prunes

3:52 am

pinkhatlil

im ok thanks groovy

3:52 am

Haz1558

Go to bed, Groovy (she said kindly) and sleep well!

3:52 am

GroovyKiwi

gone - nite all sweetest dreams

3:52 am

Atalante

nite groovy!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Goodnight Groovy!

3:52 am

pinkhatlil

Good night GroovyKiwi

3:53 am

Atalante

or maybe pulverised leeches and prunes

3:54 am

Haz1558

No, I'm thinking the liver is good. Who are you going to get to pulverise leeches? There'd be animal protestors and all sorts.

3:54 am

Atalante

there's enough of the d**n things in streams down here! fresh, handpicked, free range leeches!

3:54 am

Haz1558

They'd be waving placards 'Let Leeches Live'

3:55 am

Atalante

might keep them busy and stop them harrassing everyone else LOL

3:55 am

Atalante

"Give leeches a chance" to the tune of "Give peace a chance"

3:56 am

Haz1558

And people swaying sympathetically.

3:56 am

Atalante

lighters aloft

3:56 am

Haz1558

Heather Mills would be in front.

3:56 am

Atalante

lol yes!!

3:57 am

Atalante

charity concerts would abound

3:58 am

Ogdens Nut

Poor Heather Mills

3:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, but how would the videos make leeches sympathetic?

3:58 am

Haz1558

She's not always going to be poor. Divorce will see to that.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Of course! They'll have to focus on the leech's charity work down the years.

3:59 am

Haz1558

And their contribution to sucking the gunk from wounds.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Really they should have been awarded the VC before now.

3:59 am

Atalante

all those lives saved ... and they have that "ew" value. people would money not to have to learn more about them

4:00 am

Atalante

wonder if the maltese leeches were included in the VC

4:00 am

Haz1558

And so we come back to enable - like enable, leeches are misunderstood....

4:00 am

Haz1558

Oh probably, Atalante - they would have to exempt the Maltese leeches on the basis that they were already covered for their WW2 contribution.

4:01 am

Atalante

perhaps the maltese cross is really 8 leeches intertwined

4:01 am

Haz1558

I think so!

4:02 am

Haz1558

Probably the Union Jack is composed of multi-coloured leeches, we just haven't looked carefully enough.

4:02 am

Atalante

mmmmm probably. is it cruel to dye leeches red, white and blue though?

4:03 am

Haz1558

The red are those for ordinary people, the blue for royalty (blue blood, don't you know) and the white ones are just anaemic.

4:04 am

Atalante

or maybe albino

4:05 am

Haz1558

Yes, I never thought of that. There are bound to be minorities represented.

4:06 am

Atalante

not sure how you'd get green and orange ones though for the Irish flag ... maybe green after drinking too much Guinness

4:06 am

Haz1558

So that's settled then. It's a 50/50 split of all profits from the Single Entrail Diet and we can brainstorm sometime on who we're going to get to promote it.

4:06 am

toadandtoadette

morning all

4:06 am

loredana

morning tand t

4:06 am

pinkhatlil

hi loredana, and t and t

4:06 am

toadandtoadette

hi lore

4:07 am

Atalante

sounds good! and a lawyer in case of leech issues

4:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning toad.

4:07 am

loredana

hey Pink

4:07 am

loredana

Morning Haz

4:07 am

Haz1558

It's funny that you should mention lawyers and leeches in the same sentence!

4:07 am

Haz1558

Good evening loredana.

4:08 am

loredana

thoroughly enjoying your wit Haz ... and Ata

4:08 am

Atalante

LOL! yes, very similar ...

4:08 am

Ogdens Nut

Very good Haz!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Well, that's cheered me up no end. And now, is there a grid?

4:09 am

Ogdens Nut

Ata, you gave in on the percentage cut very quick!

4:10 am

Atalante

well .... she can have the %, and the PR responsibilities for the leeches ;)

4:10 am

Haz1558

It just takes imagination. Anybody got Max Clifford's number?

4:11 am

Atalante

he'd be putting leeches on page 3 and in x factor before we know it!

4:13 am

Haz1558

Too downmarket, then.

4:13 am

Atalante

just call Heather

4:13 am

Haz1558

If I gave Paul a ring, would he help?

4:14 am

Atalante

probably. just to spite heather

4:14 am

Haz1558

No, I thought he might have her number.

4:15 am

Atalante

oh yeah, he might do. so might lots of telephone boxes if you believe rumours

4:16 am

Haz1558

Ooooh....

4:16 am

Atalante

which of course we don't *puts in important clause*

4:16 am

Ogdens Nut

Very funny, Ata!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Yes, because lawyers monitor the chat and you don't want to get on the wrong side of Cherie Blair!

4:17 am

Atalante

ack no, she's scary

4:18 am

Haz1558

Maybe misunderstood? Like enable?

4:19 am

Haz1558

No, she's just scary.

4:19 am

Ogdens Nut

Never mind the book, you two should do a double act on stage..

4:19 am

Atalante

LOL yes. maybe. and she probably has that rictus grin on her face constantly because she's on the entrail diet

4:20 am

loredana

good entertainment.... grid.... what grid!!!

4:20 am

Atalante

*looks* oh dear. we did rather take over the chat!

4:20 am

Haz1558

We'll not use her for promotion, then.

4:21 am

loredana

wonderful ata Mrs Blair is definately on the entrail diet her face gives it all away

4:21 am

Haz1558

Never give us anything stronger than tea to drink or we'll make eejits of ourselves.

4:21 am

Atalante

even more so than normal

4:23 am

Ogdens Nut

You two could be the new Morecombe and Wise

4:23 am

Atalante

what? old and dead?

4:24 am

Haz1558

I'd be the short one. But I'd still want 50%.

4:24 am

Ogdens Nut

Well, you could bring it all to life again

4:24 am

Atalante

50% if you demo the leeches yourself, seeing as we can't use cheri

4:25 am

Haz1558

We'd probably have done a better job than Ricky Gervais at the Diana concert....

4:26 am

Atalante

uhoh what did he do?

4:27 am

Haz1558

He was supposed to do a comedy routine, but he wasn't very funny. He was left a bit high and dry by having to fill in extra time, and let's just say his improvisational skills weren't very good.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Or maybe it was just me. He was brilliant in The Office, but he didn't really do it for me that night.

4:28 am

Ogdens Nut

Oh, please don't mention the Di woman; she's a worse publicity seeker than Heather Mills!

4:29 am

Haz1558

Well, she's dead now, it's others who are still making money out of her.

4:29 am

Ogdens Nut

Or was, rather!

4:30 am

loredana

Oh dear for a Zenmaster how could you put those two people in the same sentence???

4:31 am

Ogdens Nut

Master?, who said anything about master?

4:31 am

loredana

obviously not!!

4:33 am

Atalante

well they are / were both very good at drawing attention to themselves, put it that polite way

4:35 am

Lizsark

hello

4:36 am

Atalante

hi liz!

4:36 am

Haz1558

Hello liz!

4:36 am

Lizsark

I agree by the way... Ricky Gervais was AWFUL at the concert

4:36 am

Ogdens Nut

well, my stomach is now demanding that I shuffle off for breakfast, bfn

4:36 am

Haz1558

Thank you Liz, it wasn't just me then.

4:37 am

Haz1558

See you later, Zen!

4:37 am

Lizsark

no Haz I was cringing watching him

4:38 am

greenbayladi

good morning all

4:38 am

loredana

Haz I saw it myself and I would agree with you... I did think Elton and Rod Stewart were great for the oldies oh and of course Tom Jones

4:38 am

Lizsark

hi greenbay

4:38 am

loredana

Hello Lizsark

4:39 am

Haz1558

I thought that being an experienced stand-up comedian he would have had more material, I then wondered if the fluffing WAS the routine, in which case it wasn't funny.

4:39 am

Lizsark

my thoughts exactely haz

4:39 am

pinkhatlil

hi lizsark, greenbayladi....bye zenmed

4:39 am

Lizsark

it started off ok with the other guy from the Office but it went rapidly downhill from there

4:39 am

loredana

morning greenbay

4:40 am

Haz1558

I didn't see the Tom Jones bit, but he's reliable. His hair can now be described as thought-provoking, especially the facial variety.

4:40 am

Lizsark

No I didn't start watching till after that

4:41 am

Lizsark

I didn't like the Elton John ending bit either

4:41 am

Lizsark

didn't think he chose his songs very well

4:41 am

Haz1558

I don't think he chose his tailor very well.

4:41 am

Lizsark

LOL

4:41 am

loredana

yes I totally agree I must admit i like to listen to Tom but not look, and Rod well I never fancied him when I was young but loved his voice,looking at him now he must be 60 odd hes doing okay maybe botox lol

4:41 am

Atalante

elton john? does he ever?

4:42 am

loredana

I liked Elton in the opening I must admit i feel asleep and didnt see the end finished here 5am

4:42 am

Lizsark

he's 62 I think Loredana

4:42 am

Haz1558

Rod has Penny to keep him young.

4:43 am

loredana

Yep guess so those young girls keep him fit.

4:44 am

Haz1558

That and the alimony payments to the other wives - he has to keep going!

4:44 am

Lizsark

I liked Take That *blush*

4:45 am

Atalante

I didnt watch it! *gasp* does that make me a bad person?

4:45 am

Haz1558

Apparently it's okay to like Take That again, so you needn't blush.

4:45 am

loredana

what didnt watch the show Ata??

4:45 am

Haz1558

Not a bad person, Atalante, just misunderstood.

4:45 am

Lizsark

LOL Haz ty

4:46 am

Atalante

*joins hands with enable*

4:46 am

Lizsark

its ok not to have watched it Ata, so long as you were playing babble instead ;-)

4:46 am

Haz1558

Now you know how enable feels. You'll be a more sympathetic person from now on!

4:46 am

Atalante

ha ha right!

4:47 am

Lizsark

rate

4:47 am

Lizsark

sorry

4:47 am

loredana

lol liz

4:48 am

Haz1558

Well, I must take a break but will return to find some words. Bye for now.....

4:48 am

Atalante

ok. I PROTEST. mitrate is a word. I hate enable. one of my close friends works on mitrates. they are little fossil things

4:49 am

Lizsark

I know Ata! Quite often I find REAL words that it wont accept

4:49 am

loredana

see you later Haz

4:49 am

Haz1558

That sympathy thing didn't last long....

4:49 am

toadandtoadette

ata what are you talking about "enable"?

4:49 am

Haz1558

Byee!

4:49 am

Atalante

the sympathy thing never started!

4:49 am

Lizsark

Atalante

5:05 am

loredana

yes I love it yes it is beautiful and even if i might be biased nz does have some keen sailsmen and boats

5:05 am

Atalante

I got really into it in the run-up to 2000. I was in NZ a lot then, and spending a good amount of time lurking round AUckland Harbour watching Black Magic do its trials. I was immediately hooked!

5:06 am

loredana

So this tragic event has only happened recently?

5:06 am

Atalante

well, 1999. is that still recent?

5:07 am

Atalante

5:11 am

Atalante

I wish! LOL well, I'm 33. And my life changed dramatically in 1999, so I was 25. ok, well, maybe a quarter. I still can't do maths :)

5:12 am

Deeha

exactly Half my age then but I still feel 21 - well - 41!!!!

5:12 am

Atalante

you don't want to feel 21! far too young and insecure!

5:13 am

Deeha

very true I didnt get much confidence till I was in my 40's

5:15 am

Atalante

everyone says oooh I'd love to be 21 again. I wouldn't!

5:17 am

pinkhatlil

i guess i'll be saying exactly the same words when i reach somewhere between yours an deeha's age.

5:18 am

Atalante

I think everyone has their "right" age, when you realise who you are

5:19 am

Atalante

oops! brb. dog pestering for walk :) in the rain ....

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Hello gang. I reviewed the chat, and, Deeha, I agree about life in one's 40's. I finally felt like and adult and a confident one in my early 40's. It has been very liberating.

Featherbee--I just had a dream about you! I came to visit you in the hospital. I said, "Do you know who I am? It's me, Scrabbler." You and your boy were doing well.

What did you call the Frenchman who was shot out of a cannon?

I don't know....

Well, 77 down, 133 to go, and time to get ready for work. I shall return later today. Enjoy the day. Happy Independence Day tomorrow!

6:12 am

carleekat

later scrabbler

6:12 am

Haz1558

Bye Scrabbler.

6:12 am

Ogdens Nut

Haz, did you notice the other day that enable would not accept the word "thran" - one of my favourites?

6:12 am

featherbee

bye scrabs

6:13 am

Haz1558

It may be a spelling thing, I would usually put a w in there to make it thrawn. I'll check it out.

6:13 am

pinkhatlil

bye scrabbler

6:13 am

featherbee

it would accept thrawn if it was in there

6:14 am

Haz1558

Zen - i googled it, it gives thrawn as Scots for perverse, contrary. We await enable's verdict!

6:15 am

Ogdens Nut

The w would change the pronunciation though; like to rhyme with drawn instead of dan

6:15 am

carleekat

hehehe..speaking of mork...robin williams on larry king tonight

6:16 am

Haz1558

I think the pronounciation varies quite a lot though. I know I pronounce it thran to rhyme with dan.

6:16 am

Ogdens Nut

yeah, I've never heard it pronounced otherwise

6:17 am

Haz1558

And sure when did English/Scots/Irish ever conform to those sorts of rules anyway?

6:18 am

emtiandeca

re7/32 please

6:18 am

Haz1558

re7/32 describes the colour of what a dog wags

6:18 am

Ogdens Nut

I've just realised I've never seen the word written down; just know it orally; so just assumed the spelling.

6:18 am

emtiandeca

duh... thanks haz

6:19 am

Haz1558

Which is another reason for the Ulster Scots thing being a bit of a nonsense - it's an oral dialect rather than a written, different language.

6:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome emt.

6:20 am

Ogdens Nut

yes, it looks very silly when written down.

6:22 am

Haz1558

One of my faviouite stories about the Ulster Scots translation thing was when a Health Board paper about mentally handicapped children had to be suppressed when it was realised that the children were referred to as 'big dafty weans'

6:22 am

carleekat

hehehe... that funny haz

6:22 am

Ogdens Nut

LOL!

6:23 am

Haz1558

You have to laugh, don't you?

6:23 am

carleekat

whenever I read scots... I think of outlander/ cross stitch..and jamie...

6:24 am

evanonut

course i laugh! but then i listen to the distorted view, so i'm going to hell anyway.

6:24 am

Ogdens Nut

political correctness gone crazy...

12:00 pm

featherbee

i hate bee stings. when i was a kid i'd step on one every summer. still didn't teach me to wear shoes outside though.

12:00 pm

Tecnogrrl

swelling gone down?

12:01 pm

Tecnogrrl

Saw it in last night's log

12:01 pm

stidmama

12:01 pm

12:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

ata, i had to take both benadryl and also claritin for mine.....o

12:01 pm

Atalante

the p words are anagrams of each other

12:02 pm

Atalante

yay for benadryl. I love that stuff

12:02 pm

doxy1lover

Fireworks. Very cute video today.

12:02 pm

stidmama

12:02 pm

pida 1

WTG !!!!doxy...well done

12:02 pm

stidmama

YAY doxy!

12:03 pm

doxy1lover

have to go get some housework (ugh) done. see you all tomorrow.

12:03 pm

magzel

thanks featherbee

12:03 pm

featherbee

did you just get stung ata? put either mud or a paste of baking soda and water on it.

12:04 pm

Tecnogrrl

ohh, sounds like you need a shot of epinephrine...gives you a jolt of adrenaline, but takes care of things fast

12:04 pm

featherbee

draws the stuff out

12:04 pm

Tecnogrrl

bye Doxy!

12:04 pm

stidmama

see you doxy...

12:04 pm

Atalante

a few hours ago, now, feather. horrid nasty bee!

12:05 pm

stidmama

yes, the allergic reaction you are talking about atalante sounds like you might want to consult a physician...

12:05 pm

featherbee

try the paste anyway. or mud. ice is good too.

12:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

ata, are you feeling anything other than a local reaction?

12:05 pm

Tecnogrrl

if it's been that long you're probably o.k.

12:05 pm

stidmama

also -- bees and wasps and hornets all have slightly different chemical compositions...

12:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

if not, try combination - antihistamine and beta blocker = benedryl and claritin (lotrimien or that ever generic)

12:06 pm

Atalante

I'm ok. Just a bit fuzzy I think

12:06 pm

stidmama

I have to watch very carefully after I am exposed to cow products... swelling, difficulty breathing and such often last and can worsen for me over 24 to 36 hours.

12:07 pm

stidmama

*worried look* atalante, do you have a call-in line for a nurse who can consult with you?

12:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i must go - ata , i hope you feel better. don't take it lightly, i got hives on back sevral hours after sting and neded to go to ER

12:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

ATA - notkidding if you have systemic symptoms go at once

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i must go now. see you late tonight

12:10 pm

Tecnogrrl

I had the same thing happen when I stepped in a fire ant nest, even though they bit my foot, my face and neck swelled and couldn't breath well

12:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is the danger, the hives on my back could have progressed to my throat, per doctor, actually they refused to see me in office and sent me to hospital.

12:12 pm

stidmama

{{{Atalante}}}

12:13 pm

Atalante

Ogdens Nut

Thanks Haz, I'll particulary enjoy the Sahara dessert..bye

1:51 pm

Haz1558

Bye Zen - my sympathy, Atalante. I was bitten by a wasp a few years ago and couldn't believe how sore it was.

1:52 pm

Atalante

its silly, so much hurt from a tiny thing!

1:53 pm

Haz1558

But it WAS evil, so maybe it's worse than most.

1:54 pm

Atalante

probably! it literally flew straight up to me, sat on my arm and stung me!

1:54 pm

Haz1558

Did you hear the 999 music starting up in your head? The programme that convinced you not to leave your home, ever, in case something awful happened.

1:55 pm

Atalante

after the Jaws theme stopped when the bee flew off

1:55 pm

Haz1558

I actually had to call an ambulance yesterday from my mobile phone when a youth collapsed in front of my car!

1:56 pm

tinks

Hi all! I have to sympathise Ata - I was stung by a wasp while asleep one night many moons ago now. I'm not alergic but it was very uncomfortable - it got me on my bum!

1:56 pm

FMitch

Ouch tinks

1:56 pm

Atalante

1:56 pm

Tecnogrrl

1:57 pm

tinks

Hee hee - it's funny now I think about it, wasn't at the time

1:57 pm

Haz1558

1:58 pm

CsCdeFounder

thanks

1:58 pm

Haz1558

It was all a bit surreal, but I don't think he was too seriously hurt. I had to move my car to let the ambulance through so I don't know what happened in the end.

quick question for everyone who wants to weigh in

2:08 pm

Lizsark

hi lynxxx & Knight

2:09 pm

Tecnogrrl

hi knight!

2:09 pm

KnightTime

in solving the grid do you find the word size, e.g. 4 or 5, or 6 or the word points, i.e. higher points mean more obscure letters to be the more dificult factor

2:09 pm

lynxxx

Hi Knight. what does delta mean in yr statistics?

2:09 pm

Jellen

hi, knight

2:09 pm

KnightTime

delta is the change in count from one day to the next

2:10 pm

KnightTime

delta for today is 23

2:10 pm

FMitch

I just try to find any words I can in any order Knight

2:11 pm

Haz1558

Knight - it really depends if it's a known word or not. There can be strange words with single point letters, and normal words with high points.

2:11 pm

Tecnogrrl

I don't even notice points or size, just take them as I find them, then fill in the blanks watching chat

2:12 pm

Tecnogrrl

but since I've never finished a grid....ha ha

2:12 pm

Lizsark

TY Knight. both are as useful

2:13 pm

KnightTime

ok, thanks

2:13 pm

KnightTime

i am working on a degree of difficulty formula

2:13 pm

KnightTime

right now i am treating size and points the same

2:14 pm

KnightTime

but my quess is that points make the word more difficult, in general, than size

2:14 pm

Fiber Art

A lot of us wear loose slacks

3:33 pm

hetty

BettyAnne, your pic looks like one of thetwo lakes I just visited--Crater and Tahoe--but I guess it's in Colorado eh ?(I am after all a Canadian)

3:33 pm

BettyAnne

I'm happy to be in this club.

3:33 pm

Fiber Art

And sensible shoes

3:34 pm

Fiber Art

I thought Crater Lake, too, but I'm voting for Tahoe.

3:34 pm

Tecnogrrl

Hetty, I live a little over an hour from Crater

3:34 pm

hetty

that is when we wear shoes at all

3:34 pm

BettyAnne

It is in Colorado not far from where I live. I lived in CA for a very long time and loved Tahoe.

3:34 pm

Fiber Art

What a fabulous sight Crater Lake is!

3:34 pm

Tecnogrrl

too small for Tahoe

3:35 pm

Atalante

I dont wear shoes either :)

3:35 pm

Fiber Art

You're right, Tecnogirl.

3:35 pm

Tecnogrrl

I am going to tahoe for 2 weeks in Aug/Sep

3:35 pm

Fiber Art

My feet demand arch supports. I need Babble support, too

3:35 pm

BettyAnne

I wondered just how far the fire was from the lake.

3:35 pm

inge

Hi, BettyAnne, I am one of the senior club as well!

3:36 pm

Tecnogrrl

I don't wear shoes and when I do, they are as bare as possible

3:36 pm

BettyAnne

Good to know Inge.

3:36 pm

Atalante

see? feel better now, bettyanne :):)

3:36 pm

hetty

Gee tecno, had I known that we'd have dropped in (to see you, not in the lake) We couldn't drive all around this time--too much snow; we stayed at theCrater Lake B&B at the South end

3:37 pm

BettyAnne

I sure do. Also, this is the first time I have actually conversed so much. It is fun.

3:37 pm

Tecnogrrl

I haven't been to Crater yet, Hetty, we keep meaning to go, but just haven't yet

3:37 pm

Fiber Art

We blew a couple of bucks and stayed one night at the Lodge.

3:37 pm

Fiber Art

Hetty, were you just there? We were there about two weeks ago

3:37 pm

Tecnogrrl

Is the lodge more $$ than the B&B?

3:37 pm

Fiber Art

OOh boy. Well, $200 plus tax. Out of our range normally

3:37 pm

hetty

Betty Ann, the firs was at the south end of the Lake, where we had just spent time with our goddaughter and family (Richardson)--fortunately their own cabin escaped--this time

3:38 pm

Tecnogrrl

ouch...we would need a place that allows dogs

3:38 pm

Fiber Art

Dogs no. Mosquitoes, yes.

3:38 pm

BettyAnne

Wow! Glad they ecaped. Fires are awful.

3:38 pm

hetty

Fiber we were there june 16 and 17

3:38 pm

Tecnogrrl

can't leave the pups alone

3:39 pm

Fiber Art

We were there June 18!

3:39 pm

Fiber Art

We nearly met in the elevator, Hetty

3:39 pm

Fiber Art

Were you wearing your Babble shirt?

3:39 pm

Tecnogrrl

wow, so close in time, maybe you passed on the road!

3:40 pm

Fiber Art

I would have loved to drive all around the rim, but that road was closed

3:40 pm

hetty

The Lodge is certainly more $$ than our lovely B&B (email me if you want more details ). Wejust sat in the grear room and pretended we could afford to spend the night there

3:40 pm

Tecnogrrl

I thought they opened the road before memorial day?

3:40 pm

hetty

*great room

3:41 pm

Fiber Art

It depends. The north road was open, but not the one on the east rim

3:41 pm

TheLegend

re7,32 anyone?

3:41 pm

Tecnogrrl

hubby won't stay at B&B's...he's a privacy freak and non-social

3:41 pm

hetty

They usually do. They had had a big snowfall June 13

3:41 pm

Fiber Art

re7--color plus dog wagger

3:41 pm

Tecnogrrl

it's a kind of bird, Legend...a color + a dog's behind

3:42 pm

TheLegend

3:43 pm

3:43 pm

Fiber Art

ri 6,21 after the social uprising and before the spiritual one?

3:43 pm

Fiber Art

I noticed on our trip that it was always the woman who had maps, directions, phone numbers, etc.

3:44 pm

Jellen

3:44 pm

Fiber Art

thanks, Jellen!

3:44 pm

3:46 pm

Jellen

3:46 pm

Minveryork

3:47 pm

Jellen

3:48 pm

Jellen

ty, hetty

3:48 pm

hetty

Fiber, I know there was a reason I should have bought a babble t-shirt. Darn. t think how close we must have come to many of you--there's a babbler in Coos Bay, frinstance, also

3:50 pm

Fiber Art

We really need to unite.

3:50 pm

Tecnogrrl

yup, Hetty, I don't get out much, so when I suggest a place and can make it a non-weekend thing he will go even though I know he hates it

3:50 pm

Atalante

where in Canada is Salt Spring Island, hetty? And are there really salt springs there?

3:50 pm

Tecnogrrl

I was trying to remember the Coos Bay guys name...I can't!

3:51 pm

Fiber Art

I see people doing Sudoku, which is another passion, but there are too many of them. But if I saw a Babble shirt wearer, I would say "hey!"

3:58 pm

hetty

Atalnte, our island was named for the salt springs found on it. You can read all abut the Gulf Islands at the official website<www.gufislands.com>; they are part of the same archipelago as the San Juan Islands of Washington State--in fact the San juans' are closer to our earlier home on Vancouver Island than the Gulf Islands are!

5:19 pm

Mom

I don't think I have ever been here when the chat has not "chatted" for a full five minutes.

5:20 pm

weegee

Mom, shhh... you'll invite trolls

5:20 pm

KnightTime

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

Mom

Yes, it is a bit lively in the morning

5:21 pm

Minveryork

ri 6/21-ri + first 4 letters to be late ****y KnightTime.

5:22 pm

Minveryork

5:22 pm

Karys

5:22 pm

KnightTime

5:23 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations KnightTime on fireworks!Good for U!

5:23 pm

5:23 pm

Karys

Congrats Knight !!!

5:23 pm

weegee

Congrats Knight... you'll be my inspiration to finish

5:23 pm

KnightTime

thanks, question for all you power players

5:23 pm

Buttonman

HELP>>>>>>>I just droppedall of my 152 words from my Licetey's Babble clue word

5:24 pm

Mom

oh Buttonman, :(

5:24 pm

KnightTime

in terms of finding words in the grid, do you find the length of the word to be a more difficult factor, or do you find the obscurity, i.e. point value of the word to be a more limiting factor

5:24 pm

Buttonman

what to I do to restore them without typing them all over again into the list...?

5:24 pm

weegee

just copy your word list back in via bulk add button

5:25 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman, copy your words from Babble and do the bulk/add grab on Lickety's list. I do that all the time!

5:25 pm

Karys

length for me Knight

5:25 pm

Buttonman

how do I do that?

5:25 pm

Mom

the length of the word for me Knight

5:25 pm

Karys

snap ! Mom

5:26 pm

Mom

lol, Karys

5:26 pm

Mom

quite a lag in the chat here

5:26 pm

KnightTime

would you save 60/40, 70/30, etc for length/points

5:26 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman,highlight all your words from Babble.Then go to Lickety's and click on bulk/add grab and paste your words into the box and click add bulk. It works!

5:27 pm

Karys

I don't work to a system Knight, just whatever comes

5:28 pm

weegee

neither, Knight... the last ones I find are usually diagonals going southeast to northwest and around in circles, lol!

5:28 pm

Karys

except that I try to go as far as possible without th list

5:29 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman, did you do what I said for you to do? Did it work?It's a great feature I discovered not long ago

5:29 pm

weegee

ditto Karys, but before I went pro (recently) I did without the tile stats and now find that even more helpful than the list, feels like cheating somehow to know they're no more p's, for example

5:29 pm

smaller

would someone please tell my fingers that kitten is not in the grid. no matter how many times they enter it

5:29 pm

Mom

lol Smaller

5:29 pm

hurshy

i can only find two k's so far, ugh

5:30 pm

Minveryork

Hello smaller!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:30 pm

Mom

you are one up on me Hurshy

5:30 pm

hurshy

oooh, 3

5:30 pm

Karys

5:30 pm

knight - oh. is that purchasable like a babble t-shirt

5:32 pm

smaller

mom - may i have my afternoon cappaccino and chocolate cake please? i've been good all day

5:32 pm

weegee

I will not not not not let a sixth cat in here. Maybe I should post a sign. You said yours read, didn't you hurshy?

5:32 pm

KnightTime

for example, hurshy just wrote
"i can only find two k's so far, ugh" so that tells me obscurity is more of a factor than length of word

5:33 pm

hurshy

mine do seem to be able to read...

5:33 pm

Karys

not with 'k's Knight...they are a world on their own !!!

5:34 pm

Mom

Yes, Smaller ... **here you go, with a scoop of ice cream in a bowl if you want it**

5:34 pm

KnightTime

see i didn't have any trouble finding the k's i just used the point values and monkeyed them

5:34 pm

smaller

oh ty ty ty ty

5:34 pm

hurshy

well sure, if you are using the list...

5:35 pm

Mom

I don't have point values to work from, mine is just a guessing game

5:35 pm

KnightTime

true

5:35 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the ed 6/21 word please

5:35 pm

Karys

but I am not that clever Knight !!!...multitasking yes...points no !!!

5:35 pm

weegee

but knight, when we start w/o the list.... we're just depending on how much we've read and remember... passive vs active vocab and all that

5:35 pm

KnightTime

works at a newspaper minver

5:35 pm

Mom

some one in charge of a magazine or a newspaper

5:35 pm

hurshy

what can you do, really, knight... canvas all of english literature to find out how often each word is used?

5:36 pm

Karys

this is true...if we don't do the list, we don't know the points

5:36 pm

KnightTime

no, just trying to understand the various strategies players use

5:36 pm

dilly

extend ed4

5:36 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the ed 6/21 word. Should have seen it!

5:36 pm

KnightTime

you don't know the points frmo the list, but you do know them from chat

5:36 pm

hurshy

well there's non-pro non-list - that would be REALLY hard...

5:37 pm

hurshy

pro non-list

5:37 pm

hurshy

non-pro list

5:37 pm

KnightTime

yes, for me that would be nigh impossible

5:37 pm

hurshy

and pro list

5:37 pm

Buttonman

I can't get my words back up from the list so I will toss in the towel for today unless there is some way to recover

5:37 pm

renfield

my strategy is called "cheat"

5:37 pm

KnightTime

buttonman, highlight all the words in the word list

5:37 pm

hurshy

then there's whether you use atoz, or morewords...

5:37 pm

renfield

i "cheat " smaller out of her chocolate all the time

5:37 pm

KnightTime

then right click copy

5:38 pm

Mom

I just checked the list and it has point values after the number of letters

5:38 pm

hurshy

there are a LOT of variations to how people play

5:38 pm

KnightTime

go to lickety, scroll to near the bottom, and click in the bulk add area

5:38 pm

KnightTime

right clik paste

5:38 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman, did you see my post from before. Do you have your word list in Babble website? You can do it!

5:38 pm

Mom

** passes Ren chocolate cake **

5:38 pm

KnightTime

then click the bulk add button

5:38 pm

renfield

:) thanks mom

5:38 pm

smaller

MOM!!!!!! that's my cake!!!

5:39 pm

renfield

5:39 pm

Minveryork

Hello renfield!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

5:39 pm

Mom

sure thing, ice cream in on the counter, help yourself.

5:39 pm

Mom

It is another piece Smaller

5:39 pm

KnightTime

true hurshy, but my guess is that those who consistently get fireworks employ a consistent strategy

5:39 pm

smaller

*grumble* You've always loved renny more!

5:39 pm

renfield

thanks min! i'm taking smaller's cake

5:39 pm

smaller

whatever

5:39 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman I said the same thing KnightTime is saying

5:39 pm

renfield

ok - i'll share -

5:39 pm

hurshy

but we each have our own

5:40 pm

KnightTime

my guess is hurshy, that there is a lot of similarity among player strategies

5:40 pm

Mom

Hands smaller a tissue, now now, I love you both

5:40 pm

smaller

No, renny! you always say that in front of Mom for points and then take it away when she's not looking.

5:41 pm

hurshy

i think if you wanted to track difficulty you'd just have to poll finishers, ask them to rate it 1-10 or something

5:41 pm

KnightTime

true, this is not scientific at all, just empiric

5:41 pm

smaller

mom, don't let her altruism fool you!

5:41 pm

Mom

If I worked towards fireworks I would not have a life and the house would be condemned lol

5:41 pm

renfield

:) - sweet lil ol' me?

5:41 pm

Mom

5:42 pm

smaller

5:43 pm

renfield

5:44 pm

Mom

am I going to have to do to you what i did with the boys? Go sit on the sofa and hold hands and remember that once I am gone it will just be the two of you and you will only have each other.

5:44 pm

smaller

7:29 pm

Aloyisius

8:20 pm

grammaterri1

lol it sure is aloy!

8:21 pm

Jellen

I have a question that will probably make me seem like a crochety old lady---

8:21 pm

grammaterri1

uh oh lol

8:22 pm

pam

some intro, jellen'

8:23 pm

Aloyisius

waiting with bated breath....

8:23 pm

lbdawger

i'll lend you a maxine cartoon if it does Jellen

8:23 pm

Jellen

Do any of you have attitude problems giving clues to people you just pop in, type al5/10, expect you to give a clue, and don't thank you or just let you know they got the answer?

8:23 pm

writeramy

basic manners do not seem to be taught anymore

8:24 pm

pam

the upside of being our lady of perpetual distraction is that i can more easily tune those rubes out, because yes, that does irk me

8:24 pm

writeramy

if I ever forget to thank anyone, I would feel bad

8:24 pm

grammaterri1

different strokes for different folks, doesn't bother me, I know how busy some babblers are

8:24 pm

lbdawger

it used to bother me, but some folks might be more focused into the grid. or other distractions.

8:25 pm

Jellen

I ask for lots of clues, but I'm truly grateful, because no one's obligated to give me clues.

8:25 pm

grammaterri1

sometimes I just don't have time to chat but want to finish the puzzle

8:25 pm

hurshy

doesn't bother me at all... i figure they either got it or they'll ask again... and the thanks are a social ritual i can do without.

8:25 pm

grammaterri1

tho I do love to at least say hi, please and thank you

8:25 pm

writeramy

sometimes I worry that I forget to say thank you, but I guess it is possible that some get so involved in the puzzle they don't remember, but some are just plan rude

8:26 pm

hurshy

the ones who seem to have a sense of entitlement are VERY irritating, but those who are merely matter-of-fact and not talkative, i am fine with.

8:26 pm

writeramy

Heck, I even say excuse me when I belch even if nobody is around

8:26 pm

grammaterri1

Hi ya hursh

8:26 pm

grammaterri1

lol me too amy

8:26 pm

Aloyisius

i always appreciate it when i get some feedback.. like, did they get it or what???? but, I don't let it bother me if I don't get a response.. it used to bother me when i logged on and noone said hi but now i know that they may be very absorbed in the grid and on a tight schedule, so i just shrug it off

8:26 pm

hurshy

i say excuse me to my cats if i walk in on them when they are "going"

8:27 pm

grammaterri1

aww too cute hurshy

8:27 pm

writeramy

lol Hurshy, I haven't done that yet

8:27 pm

Jellen

I'm tempted to give an impromptu etiquette lesson. Didn't know if it would be appropriate.

8:27 pm

lbdawger

when i was in the navy i had a poopy commander, always barked orders at everyone. One day after he ordered me to do something I turned to him saluted and smiled and said "i'll be glad to do that for you sir, and a smile or a mere thank you would be nice."

8:27 pm

hurshy

well, i know that cats like privacy...

8:27 pm

Jellen

lol I do that too, hurshy!

8:27 pm

grammaterri1

well, I do tend to say you're welcome loudly to people that don't thank me for say holding a door open for them ( :

8:28 pm

Tecnogrrl

yeah, we have a cover on our cat box...AND the closet door it's in is shut most of the way

8:28 pm

writeramy

Now that I do, gramma, lol

8:28 pm

lbdawger

lol GT, i do that too, especially when they are youngsters!

8:28 pm

lynxxx

Hi All. I am a cranky old woman already but I am of late getting really irrated by people who do that - not the one-offs but who do it again and again. More so the ones who 'demand' clues for a letter - and who should be using a list in that case - again, more so if repeatedly

8:28 pm

grammaterri1

gulp dawg, did ya get KP?

8:28 pm

hurshy

but some of us are just rather absent minded, and it just makes us feel like horrible people if you say you're welcome when we forget to say thanks...

8:29 pm

lbdawger

GT, no infact after that he always smiled and said thank you.

8:29 pm

grammaterri1

very cool dawg

8:29 pm

writeramy

I usually do that YOUR WELCOME bit if it is obvious they are being rude, sometimes I let it pass if they look distracted

8:29 pm

lbdawger

i feel awkward always saying yw. but the thanks is always appreciated

8:29 pm

Tecnogrrl

Well, I just can't see anymore words. This is my record though, getting 93 of them

8:30 pm

grammaterri1

there's a difference of being absent minded and just rude, you can usually tell

8:30 pm

Jellen

I don't mean the occasional no response. I'm talking about ongoing behavior.

8:30 pm

grammaterri1

right amy

8:30 pm

lbdawger

go Tec! each time gets a little easier!

8:30 pm

featherbee

i often just type "ty" to let people know i got it

8:30 pm

Jellen

Yay, tec!

8:30 pm

Tecnogrrl

seems to, lbd!

8:30 pm

Jellen

me too, feather

8:30 pm

featherbee

and like now, i often sit here for a while, lurking and reading chat before i respond, and forget to say hi. HI! lol

8:30 pm

grammaterri1

woohoo tech go girl

8:31 pm

lynxxx

Well done Tecno, nearly 50% is good

8:31 pm

Tecnogrrl

I think I'm done for the night though, need to go finish brushing the dogs

8:31 pm

grammaterri1

lol hi feather

8:31 pm

winedoula

newbie here - where do I get one of those word lists? I am afraid of offending regulars here

8:31 pm

Tecnogrrl

HI Feather!!!!!

8:31 pm

grammaterri1

hi wine welcome

8:31 pm

hurshy

lol, don't be scared wine...

8:32 pm

featherbee

it's ok wine! bottom left corner, under "friends of babble" look for the link to "lickety's babble clues"

8:32 pm

Jellen

Honest questions aren't offensive, wine :)

8:32 pm

lynxxx

Hi Wine...see the link to Lickety under the Friends area, bottom left this screen

8:32 pm

Tecnogrrl

hey wine, see the babbler's anonymous link

8:32 pm

Tecnogrrl

BTW, Welcome!

8:32 pm

lbdawger

Welcome wine, you can click on the bottom list a link called lickety's babble clues

8:32 pm

winedoula

I've been lurking on this list - thanks for the clues, btw - but I am a bit intimidated!

8:32 pm

featherbee

awwww, c'mere wine! *pulls into a big preggo hug*

8:32 pm

lbdawger

don

8:32 pm

hurshy

don't take my etiquette advice, though... i love house.

8:32 pm

lynxxx

I really should start my day...can I help with any clues before I go?

8:32 pm

featherbee

i'm all hormonal, so i can do that to strangers

8:33 pm

winedoula

hee hee thanks featherbee

8:33 pm

featherbee

lol hursh

8:33 pm

lbdawger

don't be intimidated by us. we're really pretty nice folks

8:33 pm

Tecnogrrl

I can't remember exactly what a doula is, but I sort of know?

8:33 pm

Aloyisius

welcome, winedoula, to the wonderful world of Babble!

8:33 pm

grammaterri1

lol feather, we were all newbies once wine

8:33 pm

featherbee

a doula is a person who guides a woman through labor.

8:33 pm

writeramy

welcome wine

8:33 pm

Tecnogrrl

just slap feather...

8:33 pm

winedoula

I was actually doing this a few years ago and it looks much different now!

8:33 pm

winedoula

thanks for the welcomes!

8:33 pm

featherbee

there to fetch ice chips, do back rubs, guide in relaxation, offer relief to the hubby so he can go pee, etc

8:33 pm

hurshy

so a wine doula... protects wine as it ages?

8:33 pm

grammaterri1

not here, Lynxxx but thanks for the offer, blessings

8:33 pm

Tecnogrrl

that's what I though, feather, just wasn't sure

8:34 pm

lbdawger

the lay out has changed some wine, but the game is the same

8:34 pm

winedoula

hahaha hurshy. No, a doula that knows about making wine

8:34 pm

Tecnogrrl

or drinks wine while doing the doula thing?

8:34 pm

Jellen

I forgot my manners--welcome, winedoula!

8:34 pm

featherbee

slap me? and after i answered your question so nicely? hey! lol!

8:34 pm

grammaterri1

foflol ya'll

8:34 pm

hurshy

ohhhh, like ed.

8:34 pm

featherbee

oh! you know, i never even read the rest of your screen name, winedoula. just saw wine and abbreviated it.

8:35 pm

pam

Feather! How's the new dresser????

8:35 pm

Tecnogrrl

I would have to drink wine if I was a doula

8:35 pm

featherbee

i thought you were asking because of your daughter tecno

8:35 pm

hurshy

"i own a bowling alley. i am a lawyer. two separate things."

8:35 pm

lynxxx

Wine - everyone had issues swapping to the new screen but it is much better...except for the problem of too easily typing words into the chat - which is why we now have the mythical penalty box (full of goodies though)

8:35 pm

featherbee

it's FAB pam! i'm soooo happy!

8:35 pm

winedoula

it's all good

8:35 pm

winedoula

Yes lynxxx, is that what the fish is all about?

8:35 pm

Tecnogrrl

I thought that's what a midwife was, but found out different...

8:36 pm

pam

Yay, feather!!!! And, can you live with the scratches? I know they were a concern...

8:36 pm

lbdawger

tec, how's the baby and is it a boy or a girl?

8:36 pm

winedoula

sorry if I miss some chat posts. I'm on dialup and have a hard time keeping up with you friendly people :)

8:36 pm

featherbee

wine, don't let us intimidate you...you seem genuine, polite, etc, you're fine! it's the "trolls" or the brusque youngsters who we're dishing about.

8:36 pm

Jellen

Thanks for the feedback on the etiquette thing..

8:36 pm

hurshy

no, you slap yourself with a fish when you are annoyed with yourself for missing an easy word. this predates the new screen and hence the penalty box.

lbdawger

good thing you aren't the doc in charge Tec! ;-)

8:40 pm

Tecnogrrl

sorry, I just couldn't remember, have to many dogs I guess and to many females in family

8:40 pm

featherbee

tecno, seriously, get the book for her titled "So THAT'S What They're For!" it's about nursing, has a sense of humor, is an easy read, yet also is full of GREAT advice.

8:40 pm

lbdawger

(((TEC)))

8:41 pm

Tecnogrrl

I will look for it feather, was going to Amazon to get her a gift card anyway

8:41 pm

featherbee

it's as technical as some of the others, yet is much more accessible

8:42 pm

Tecnogrrl

some days the memory goes before anything else {sigh}

8:42 pm

hurshy

nah, the money goes before the memory

8:43 pm

Tecnogrrl

FOR SURE hurshy!

8:43 pm

featherbee

dang, i wish i hadn't finished earlier.

8:43 pm

Tecnogrrl

why feather?

8:43 pm

featherbee

cause now i'm bored!

8:43 pm

cybernan

first ti 7?

8:43 pm

writeramy

heck, hurshy, gotta have money for it to go, so my memory is going first, lol

8:44 pm

featherbee

boob + **** and rave

8:44 pm

hurshy

feather, lol!

8:44 pm

cybernan

ty feather

8:45 pm

featherbee

the other is close. ends with a 4 star ***ing (but use the present tense of the verb)

8:45 pm

featherbee

i calls em as i sees em.

8:45 pm

Tecnogrrl

you should see some of the stuff that google comes up with when I mis-type!

8:45 pm

featherbee

daniel and i had a lovely conversation about nipples this afternoon. he discovered he has them.

8:46 pm

hurshy

but why didn't you just clue the definition, lol

8:46 pm

Jellen

I would be so bad at those conversations, feather.

8:46 pm

featherbee

cause i couldn't think of it!

8:46 pm

hurshy

did you play hooky during high school chemistry? :)

8:46 pm

Tecnogrrl

I thought you breast fed him, Feather?

8:47 pm

BettyAnne

How about the to7/28 please

8:47 pm

Jellen

I learned so little in high school chemistry and it was so long ago---

8:47 pm

lbdawger

small round hill + what those yellow letter things are called

8:47 pm

hurshy

to7/28... hmm, i wonder if it means like a t_____ (not the hare)

8:47 pm

featherbee

oh jellen, it was funny! he's asking what it was, so i tell him nipple. he asks if mommy and daddy have them, i say yes. i figure he's going to see mine as i nurse anyway, and has seen them as i get dressed, so when he asks to see mine, no prob, i show. i explain how mine will give the baby milk, etc. he says "big nipple?" LOL

8:47 pm

featherbee

yep, nursed till 14 months

8:48 pm

Jellen

to7= rocky hill + flooring square

8:48 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* -- thanks for the help :)

8:48 pm

Jellen

Yay, nan!!!

8:48 pm

featherbee

yay nan!!!

8:48 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooooo NAN

8:48 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks lbdawger, hurshy and jellen. Appreciate it.

8:49 pm

Aloyisius

yay, cybernan!!!

8:49 pm

Tecnogrrl

YEAH NAN!!!!

8:49 pm

featherbee

and the resounding silence was people trying to figure out WHAT on earth you reply to my post!

8:49 pm

hurshy

speaking of etiquette, tell me if this is weird. when people at work say please when asking me to do something - in email, or whatever - i find that ruder than if they don't. why would that be?

8:49 pm

Jellen

I was giggling. Forgot to post it

8:50 pm

Tecnogrrl

I have been trying to get that clue all day and still don't!

8:50 pm

featherbee

hmm, i know the feeling, but can't pinpoint why hursh

8:50 pm

Jellen

Is it the way they say it, hurshy?

8:50 pm

Tecnogrrl

because they're being condescending or however you spell it

8:50 pm

cybernan

anyone want a clue before I leave?

8:50 pm

autumn moon

hursh - depends on whether or not they emphasise the please

8:50 pm

featherbee

that's it tecno!

8:51 pm

hurshy

how can it be the way they say it if it's in an email? it must just be the condescending thing.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

tec, to+ hook + do re me fa so la ** + **d roses

8:51 pm

Tecnogrrl

I can really tell stuff from email hurshy...to many years of doing tech support

8:51 pm

featherbee

cause maybe you feel like they're thinking you wouldn't do it if they didn't say please?

8:51 pm

Jellen

tecno, to + hook letter + bathroom flooring (ti/4/4)

8:52 pm

featherbee

ohhh, you guys need to see my communications link i posted last night

8:52 pm

writeramy

Maybe when you read it, you are putting the emphasis on the please in your mind and they don't really mean to be condescending. If you do that, maybe it's because when they do speak to you they do it in a condescending way

8:52 pm

featherbee

http://www.zefrank.com/punc/

8:52 pm

Tecnogrrl

now I'm really confused, Jel...

8:52 pm

hurshy

no feather, i don't think it's that. it's like... like i feel like it is a pretense. it's my job, it's what they pay me for. and it's like they are pretending that we're just friends and they're asking me a favor, when really it's an order and i have to do it.

8:53 pm

cybernan

I'm off then -- have an agenda to prepare for tomorrow :0

8:53 pm

hurshy

i really hate pretense.

8:53 pm

BettyAnne

How about the ki6/39 please.

8:53 pm

featherbee

ahhh, see you put it better.

8:53 pm

hurshy

if your ki6/39s fail... you can't pee

8:53 pm

cybernan

ki 6/39: organ that filters body fluids

8:53 pm

featherbee

watch my link, it fits this conversation perfectly!

8:53 pm

writeramy

that makes sense, but even if it is your job, it's nice to be treated with respect when given an assignment

8:54 pm

Jellen

ki6= internal organ

8:54 pm

BettyAnne

Great clue cybernan. Thanks.

8:54 pm

Tecnogrrl

I don't get hook letter

8:54 pm

Jellen

hook letter = r

8:54 pm

featherbee

pirate sounding letter tecno

8:54 pm

BettyAnne

I meant to thank you too hurshy.

8:54 pm

autumn moon

when I assign out tasks, I always say please. Even tho I'm the manager, I am still asking them to do something

8:54 pm

pam

True, it might be what you are paid to do, but without a please, a thank you, you are being commanded... and that isn't ok. unless you are in the armed forces..

8:54 pm

lbdawger

hook=r

8:54 pm

hurshy

lol betty anne, that's ok.

8:54 pm

featherbee

who's a hooker?

8:54 pm

hurshy

but really pam, i AM being commanded. if i don't do what they tell me, i should get fired, right?

8:54 pm

Tecnogrrl

ty lbd

8:55 pm

Tecnogrrl

and jel

8:55 pm

BettyAnne

You are all so quick to help out I sometimes miss one clue or another but I do appreciate all of them.

8:55 pm

pam

But, they should be fired if you are treated like a slave, hursh. They can ask, and yes, when asked, you should either do it or tell them why you can't at the time or whatever. But they can't command.

8:56 pm

hurshy

but i don't mind being commanded, i feel it is fair exchange for being able to eat, have shelter, provide for my cats...

8:56 pm

Jellen

If you don't understand one of clues, ask us to clarify, BettyAnne. I know sometimes my clues stink and I could do a lot better. :)

8:56 pm

lbdawger

no, they shouldn't command. but so many "managers" have a control issue, that's about all they can do.

8:57 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks Jellen. It's a fun place to be as everyone is so nice.

8:57 pm

pam

you are unique, hursh. I am grateful, do as asked, but am addressed politely

8:58 pm

lbdawger

i've had micro managers that i've wanted to walk out on, and in all my years of employment, i've only had one boss, who actually treated me as if i had earned my degrees.

8:58 pm

hurshy

people can still be nice even when they are commanding. the people i work with ARE nice, either way. i try not to hold it against them when they say please. :)

8:58 pm

Tecnogrrl

I am so dim sometimes!!!! WTF is a tor**** guess I will look it up

8:59 pm

autumn moon

and there is a difference between 'please take care of this' and 'would you please take care of this'

8:59 pm

featherbee

awful kind of you hursh!

8:59 pm

Tecnogrrl

I used to sign my emails Thank You in Advance

9:00 pm

hurshy

ok, like, if someone says "can you find out such-and-such?", i think if they say, "can you please find out such-and-such" instead, it sounds more impatient or something? maybe?

9:00 pm

autumn moon

wholly dependent on how you read it. Now go back and read it as if any number of words were underlined.

9:01 pm

Tecnogrrl

also flattery gets you everywhere...

9:01 pm

autumn moon

*going back to grid*

9:02 pm

hurshy

maybe i have just known too many insincere people, so now i automatically read insincerity into things.

9:02 pm

Tecnogrrl

like: I can't figure this out, if you have time, could you help me?

9:02 pm

featherbee

off to look for a bookshelf now. will be in and out.

9:02 pm

hurshy

i am just weird i think.

9:03 pm

grammaterri1

quick story, one of the message boards I am a member of...a fella was complaining about the chipmunks messing up his beautiful property and eating his pretty plants, and it just irked me, so I posted, remember the chipmunks were there first, the only reason they haven't done more damage is that they can't drive bulldozers or wield axes! then I posted a pic of chip and dale lol

9:04 pm

Tecnogrrl

lbdawger

mine have all turned to "flower" which is more like the fern you see.

9:15 pm

pam

that is great news, hursh!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for mentioning it!

9:15 pm

hurshy

so like, if i said, i have the best asparagus in the world right here, and you can have it, but right after you eat it, you will die, you would say, "it's worth it. give me the asparagus."?

9:16 pm

grammaterri1

oh yes that taste is to die for, we picked it wild when I was growing up in Michigan, here now we get it of course at veggie place from costa rica and the like, still pretty good taste

9:16 pm

9:24 pm

night gramma!

9:24 pm

that dude that flew with resistant TB now has a new diagnosis, and is asking for an apology from the CDC

9:24 pm

grammaterri1

blessings, ya'll

9:24 pm

lbdawger

night gt

9:24 pm

hurshy

now, most people, finding out they are less sick than they thought, would just be happy.

9:24 pm

Jellen

g'night, GT

9:25 pm

hurshy

but THIS guy, THIS guy - who, mind you, THOUGHT he DID have drug resistant TB and rudely exposed lots of people to it - THIS guy needs an apology

9:25 pm

featherbee

yet wasn't he under the assumption that he had the tb when he flew??? therefore he was still wrong

9:25 pm

BettyAnne

I have 3 left--ar6/21 (1st). ar5/12 and kr5/18. Help anyone please?

9:25 pm

featherbee

right

9:25 pm

hurshy

ar6 fervent

9:26 pm

pam

he was not told that he was highly contagious, he was cautioned against flying

9:26 pm

hurshy

ar5 commander data minus nd

9:26 pm

DR1965

I agree Hurshy

9:26 pm

lbdawger

ar+ dr*** (robot)

9:26 pm

Tecnogrrl

it's dead now, sorry had to go dispose of it and get a new drink. I'm sticking to water!

9:26 pm

pam

Seems to me the CDC should have a clear means of saying

9:26 pm

Tecnogrrl

so, what does the guy have now?

9:26 pm

Jellen

kr5=sounds like a box; kr + first vowel + he, she, **

9:26 pm

featherbee

icky icky tecno

9:26 pm

hurshy

he's an educated man, even if it were regular TB, i think most educated people are aware that TB is contagious.

9:27 pm

lbdawger

kr+first vowel + he, she or **

9:27 pm

pam

you are not to fly as you are highly contagious vs. we think it's not safe to fly

9:27 pm

hurshy

he just has a less deadly strain of TB

9:27 pm

pam

Most people with tb, or who test postive, are not flagrantly ill, and do fly

9:27 pm

BettyAnne

That was it. Thanks all of you for your help. I'm done now so I'll say goodnite and Happy 4th everyone.

9:27 pm

featherbee

bet everyone on that plane was happy to hear that

9:27 pm

Jellen

bye, BettyAnne, congrats!!!

congrats and night betty!

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo BETTYANNE! and happy 4th to you too

9:28 pm

hurshy

but his wife is still wearing a mask around him...

9:28 pm

pam

I worked in a group home in ny where half the staff tested positive for TB because of the residents, we were never told they were contagious,

9:28 pm

pam

I think he shouldn't have exposed people, but the CDC has to be Much Clearer

9:29 pm

featherbee

ok, i'm hungry and tired. off to get a snack and go to bed, night!

9:29 pm

dan2bit

huh. I guess there is no singular for en8 'innards'

hey dan2, nice entrance! lol

9:30 pm

dan2bit

hey lbd - yep long day

9:30 pm

lbdawger

do you have tomorrow off dan?

9:30 pm

Tecnogrrl

my sis has had hep C for 20 years, continues to deny even though she's on a transplant list, continues to drink, even passed out last week b/c of liver failure, and doesn't tell anyone...most family doesn't know

9:31 pm

pam

that is sad, tec

9:31 pm

hurshy

wow. i'm so sorry tecno.

9:31 pm

pam

I have a friend with hep c, in recovery for 10 years, who is not sick, but does not tell her DENTIST, for crying out loud, that she has it...

9:31 pm

dan2bit

I do - also have the mom-in-law in town to help the wife with surgery recovery

9:31 pm

lbdawger

that's so irresponsible of her. guess she thinks she's only hurting herself?

9:32 pm

lbdawger

uhm, is that a good thing dan? MIL around?

9:32 pm

pam

dont know what you are talking about, dan, but it seems i need to wish you and yours good luck and good healing

9:32 pm

Tecnogrrl

especially since she needs a new liver, her hubby won't take her to ER when she is really juandiced or icky icky sick

9:33 pm

lbdawger

is he fed up with her behaviour Tec?

9:33 pm

dan2bit

good for the wife, some relief for me, some additional stress. MIL is an unrepentant smoker - would be a good match with tecno's sis

9:33 pm

Tecnogrrl

jeez, I tell my dentist that he can't touch me without me having to have antibiotics for a very minor heart thing!

9:33 pm

hurshy

funny story - my sister gets inexplicable (psychosomatic) seizures because of her medical phobias, and she didn't tell a new dentist one time because she felt calm about needing this cavity filled, and then she went and had a seizure! the poor dentist was panicking that she was allergic to novocaine or something - luckily her husband was there to tell him what it was.

9:33 pm

Tecnogrrl

no, lbd, he isn't, that's the problem. he listens to her when she says "nothing's wrong, I need to rest"

9:34 pm

Tecnogrrl

ha, let's get them together Dan!

9:34 pm

hurshy

the heart thing... dang it, i know what that's called and i can't remember it... endocarditis, is that it?

9:35 pm

lbdawger

Dan2, i hope all goes well for you and your wife, and hope MIL can at least go outside to smoke

9:35 pm

pam

LOL, hursh

9:35 pm

pam

or a mitral valve, hursh

9:35 pm

hurshy

mitral valve prolapse!

9:35 pm

hurshy

i think my OTHER sister has a mitral valve prolapse.

9:35 pm

Tecnogrrl

it's the mitral valve, that's it Pam, thanks!

9:36 pm

dan2bit

ha tecno, yeah. She's career RN & breast cancer survivor. we have a patio for the MIL. And it does help me at least partly

9:36 pm

endocarditis is a stupid name anyway. it just means "something is wrong inside your heart", literally.

9:36 pm

pam

yw, tec!

9:37 pm

Tecnogrrl

9:37 pm

hurshy

if it's something wrong inside your heart, then it must be endocarditis, lol

9:38 pm

Tecnogrrl

You would think, Dan...but sometimes med folks are the worst to take care of themselves!

9:39 pm

dan2bit

true

9:39 pm

hurshy

the linguistic history of medicine is so funny - it mostly goes to show how little doctors knew and how they were trying to cover it up

9:39 pm

Tecnogrrl

like those drs that allegedly are part of the bomb plots in UK?

9:40 pm

hurshy

i think those doctors are rather in a different league.

9:40 pm

dan2bit

my HS bio teacher said that 'factor' was what biologists called anything they didn't understand: clotting factor in blood was his favorite example

9:40 pm

9:49 pm

hurshy

they are debating whether to close 3 little roads in a small vermont town on the border with canada. the residents don't want them to, but, you know, worries about nat'l security. well it might have been fine before but now that you've advertised it on CNN all the terrorists will know about this opening...

9:50 pm

lbdawger

there are a lot of little towns to cross over the border other than in vermont. but maybe terrorists don't know that.

9:51 pm

Tecnogrrl

supposed to be 90+ here also, lbd, it normally doesn't get warmer than about 85F on the warmest day

10:07 pm
