1:29 am

CsCdeFounder

phantom - timpane

1:30 am

jillibus

doesn't that end in i, CCF?

1:31 am

CsCdeFounder

i believe so, jilli, but thought the e is an alternate spelling...could be wrong though

1:33 am

CsCdeFounder

actually now that i think about it, i think it goes with most of the other vowels but not e...i think timpano, timpani and timpano are all words, but not timpane...must be confusing it with another word

1:33 am

Frances

Keep seeing impeach

1:34 am

jillibus

and in connection with your icon, frances, that seems appropriate

1:34 am

CsCdeFounder

ok, redo on my phantom word...acetate

how do I move this to the left jilli?

2:31 am

herinfernallady

2:31 am

dilly

just must have heard me. Love to play Sat. Wantto play my place for a change?

2:32 am

jillibus

or is it all overflowing your screen?

2:33 am

jillibus

dilly, that might be good. Have you been to my place lately though?

2:34 am

dilly

I just wanted to be able to see chat. Terrible fire could see smoke and flames from deck - seemed to be Bullock lake area according to other watchers.

2:35 am

jillibus

I guess that's why sirens were racing by this evening!

2:36 am

jillibus

dilly, if you close the clues everything will move over to the left

2:38 am

dilly

Yes --- time I took a turn; You.ll tell Ima and Patricia --- 1;30?It righted itself. Seems to have adopted a patronizing air .

2:39 am

jillibus

What righted itself? What patronizing air?

2:40 am

dilly

My computer - I'm never sure of it;s intentions.

2:41 am

jillibus

LOL!

2:43 am

jillibus

Re the fire -- I half-heard something on the TV news about a fire and Gulf Islands -- missed the details -- they must have been talking about here. Bad time, when there's wind and it's dry! I wonder if the resort is affected.

Atalante

hi all, i just dreamt hobbit turned into a great dane

3:12 am

Haz1558

But you've checked? She's still Hobbit?

3:13 am

Atalante

well, as far as I can see ... she might be harbouring secret great dane tendencies somewhere though

3:14 am

Haz1558

I hope she hasn't been taken over by an alien force. I know how uncomfortable it can be.

3:14 am

best babbler pla

Hello Everyone

3:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning best

3:15 am

Atalante

hopefully not ... otherwise she'll be jumping over 10 foot high fences when I take her out like she was in the dream

3:17 am

loredana

good morning afternoon evening everyone

3:17 am

Atalante

morning lore

3:17 am

Haz1558

It's amazing how vivid dreams can be and how disturbing sometimes. I once dreamt that I was cross when a shop wouldn't sell me a crossstitch kit - about on the same level of reality as Hobbit being a Great Dane.

3:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning loredana.

3:18 am

Atalante

I hate my dreams. I get totally creeped out by a lot of them, and they end up totally screwing up my day after

3:18 am

best babbler pla

Bye jakes-mum, have a good day.

3:20 am

Andree

bye jakes

3:20 am

Atalante

dreams were actually the reason I ended up getting diagnosed with bipolar - I went to my doctor after not being able to sleep for days and days because I was too scared to close my eyes and dream. That doesn't happen so much anymore, but its horrid. Hate dreams!

3:20 am

Haz1558

That was nice, Andree.

3:21 am

Haz1558

It's understandable, Atalante. Does medication help or make them worse?

3:21 am

loredana

3:38 am

Atalante

3:39 am

herinfernallady

Sprite LIckety did inform us that it might not work yesturday and mine didnt work either but i may have freaked out my pc

I am not Haz, but I like it :)

3:54 am

Atalante

cute aren't they :) Hobbit likes other cockers, she hates most other dogs

3:55 am

sprite

that is really funny!

3:55 am

Haz1558

I like it, Atalante - I could hear the sniffing!

3:55 am

Atalante

I know!

3:56 am

Atalante

much sniffing, much circling

3:56 am

sprite

I don't think our dog ever knew the difference between his breed and others, lol

3:57 am

Atalante

I really can;t believe Hobbit does either, but she really does react differently to cockers (and springers, a bit) than any other dog

3:57 am

sprite

a very special dog she is :)

3:58 am

Atalante

or very odd ... lol

3:58 am

Haz1558

Maybe she's happy with the general size and shape being similar to her own. Or do they all have a coded smell?

3:58 am

Atalante

I really don't know! she won't talk to any other dog, even those the same size as her, but she'll run up to a cocker. its really strange

3:59 am

sprite

hah, the japanese floormats... I tried it without seeing how it could be made and it took, lol.

3:59 am

Haz1558

I go for the smell theory, then.

4:00 am

featherbee

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Featherbee--did you dream about the grid all night?

5:41 am

featherbee

lol, amazingly no. how far did you get?

5:41 am

herinfernallady

i have 2 Yi 4s and a YE 4 what am i missing please

5:41 am

featherbee

herin, did you finish it listless?

5:42 am

toadandtoadette

I think I am going to go early. The doctor was messing with the calendar thing yesterday, but didn't tell me why. he said everything was great

5:42 am

herinfernallady

no i ran out of time :(

5:42 am

toadandtoadette

there's a yo

5:42 am

Scrabbler

I got to under 400 remaining. I wish that grid had been the one for Sunday, then I could have worked on it off and on all day.

5:42 am

featherbee

i know, mixed up timing on those grids

5:42 am

lynxxx

Congratulations T&T - and a very 'manly' name

5:42 am

featherbee

aww too bad herin!

5:43 am

featherbee

off to check email, brb

5:43 am

toadandtoadette

I love it! If it was a girl it was going to be Mary-Ellen Jean

5:43 am

herinfernallady

thanks

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Is this your first baby, Toadette?

5:44 am

toadandtoadette

yes Scrabbler

5:44 am

Scrabbler

The one yi word I have is what little dogs do. A clue for the other yi?

5:45 am

toadandtoadette

we were hoping to wait until the birth to find out the gender, but my husband is deploying (again) soon and will not be present for the birth :(

5:45 am

herinfernallady

ditch the S and add a vowel at the end

5:45 am

Scrabbler

OK, got it, TY Lady

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Toad wont they hold him off for the birth of the first child

5:46 am

herinfernallady

Pardon my spelling as i just wacked a finger and now have a bruise

5:46 am

featherbee

no herin, military doesn't care

5:46 am

toadandtoadette

nope. we are not the only ones in this situation

5:46 am

herinfernallady

thats rude

5:46 am

Scrabbler

That is sad!!

5:46 am

lynxxx

How unfortunate Toad - are you staying in Germany for the birth?

5:46 am

toadandtoadette

my cats are chasing each other through the house. one just wacked his head on the coffee table... kept running though

5:46 am

toadandtoadette

yeah, but its part of being in the military. we don't get to choose. He chose to be in the service and we deal with it

5:47 am

herinfernallady

Toad thats funny when they do stupid things

5:47 am

Scrabbler

I have great admiration and respect for your husband's call to service--thank him for me.

5:47 am

herinfernallady

cats that it :)

5:47 am

toadandtoadette

yes I will be staying in Germany. Our Squadron is being really strange about allowing people to move back home. The Army is really short on money, so they won't pay. Plus, I have a job here and really like my doctor

5:47 am

toadandtoadette

I will do that Scrabbler

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Today's news says the war effort is costing the US $12 billion/month.

5:48 am

toadandtoadette

My cats were Christmas presents/wedding gift from my husband before he deployed the last time (3 1/2 weeks after our wedding)

5:48 am

toadandtoadette

doesn't surprise me Scrabbler

5:49 am

herinfernallady

My grandfather was in the service, he was a Sergent Major

5:49 am

Scrabbler

My nephew's friend, almost 19, will be deployed in Dec--is currently going through infantry training at Camp Lejeune

5:49 am

Ogdens Nut

You guys elected Bush, scrab!

5:49 am

toadandtoadette

my husband won't make it to that rank. haha. his MOS is one that he won't go very far up the chain because it is so specialized

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Zenmed, and he has morphed into a wacko

5:50 am

herinfernallady

I will not coment on that one

5:50 am

featherbee

just because bush is the prez, doesn't mean we ALL voted for him!

5:50 am

herinfernallady

LOL Scrable

5:50 am

toadandtoadette

yes Zen, we know. However, I don't blame him for all of it. He has a cabinet of advisors that have "convinced" him to continue. I believe that the whole administration is to blame, not just Bush

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Yes, good point, Toadette

5:51 am

Ogdens Nut

It was obvious he was calamity since 2000!

5:52 am

toadandtoadette

at the last election it was the nation voting for the lessor of two evils. I would rather have my husband working under Bush than working under Kerry... he's more of an idiot than Bush

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Politics and politicians just make me crazy

5:52 am

herinfernallady

If i can ask what does your husband do in the service Toad

5:52 am

toadandtoadette

He's a medic

5:53 am

periwinkle

HI all, did many people finish yesterdays grid

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Wow Toad thats a great job, my old friend was 20 when she won a scholarship to Glasgow Uni for Neurosurgery. Me i finished hi peri

5:53 am

toadandtoadette

there is really a lot of good that is going on over there with us there. However, the major problem now is the Iraqis don't care and would rather us continue to do the work they need to start doing

5:53 am

toadandtoadette

not me

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Wow, great for him, Toadette! (I am a pediatrician, and one of my former patients, age 24 was killed in Iraq last December :( God bless Travis!)

5:54 am

periwinkle

i finished yest too

5:54 am

toadandtoadette

of course I started really late and got tired and went to bed

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi Periwinkle--I didn't have time to finish as it was a long work day.

5:54 am

lynxxx

Hi Peri...I'm guessing the usual did as the stats didn't change much

5:54 am

Ogdens Nut

That is irrelevant Toad; if Bush is weak and stupid enough to allow himself to be bullied into a wrong decision, then he should not be there. But everyone knows that anyway..

5:54 am

toadandtoadette

its hard when it is someone you know Scrab... luckily I don't know anyone who has died

5:55 am

herinfernallady

I dont agree with any form of war or violence but i dont make disparaging remarks about those that do believe what they do is right and just, and good on them and god bless

5:55 am

Scrabbler

I think that people of true integrity, honesty and courage tend to not go into politics, so we don't have the best people to vote for

5:56 am

carleekat

ok..THIS looks like a resonable grid ( heck 300 would look resonable today )

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Carlee!

5:56 am

herinfernallady

Hey Carlee

5:56 am

toadandtoadette

I'm not sorry for the way I feel Zen. I deal with it every day, and don't have enough power to change things. Election is in a year, things will change then

5:57 am

Ogdens Nut

What codswallop herein

5:57 am

lynxxx

Hi Carlee

5:57 am

herinfernallady

Toad Are you a native German?

5:57 am

toadandtoadette

no, we are stationed over here. I was born and raised in Oregon

5:58 am

Scrabbler

I like that word--codswallop

5:58 am

herinfernallady

Oh ok cool.

5:58 am

toadandtoadette

Scrab, I think you are right with that comment

5:58 am

carleekat

oh..we on politics...

5:59 am

herinfernallady

I am staying mum here on that Carlee :) I agree to disagree

5:59 am

toadandtoadette

yes and it is
a bad topic

5:59 am

carleekat

I remember when Bush was elected... the first time... and I remember saying to all of my friends at the time..."you watch, within this administration...the USA will be be engaged in a full scale international conflict with someone..."

5:59 am

Scrabbler

It is a fervently discussed topic in the US, for sure

5:59 am

carleekat

within 6-8 months...the sabres were rattling with korea

6:00 am

herinfernallady

I just get in a snit about it so i just stay quiet rather than get my panties in a twist

6:00 am

toadandtoadette

with the way history goes, it was bound to happen no matter who was in office

6:00 am

carleekat

then 9-11...and welll korea was forgotten and aphganistan it was...

6:01 am

lynxxx

It seems so - obviously Zenmed has very strong feelings about the US influence/impact on the world. But better perhaps the 'policeman' we know than the one we don't....

6:01 am

Scrabbler

I have hit a wall with 85 to go--not so easy now

6:01 am

toadandtoadette

I have 78 left. not sure

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Im going ot poke at sudoko back in a sec

6:02 am

carleekat

it would have happened eventually..I mean..something would have...but when you look at the previous administration...tand the efforts made to dissolve the bosnia, herza situtaion...etc....I think... the matters may have been adressed in a different manner....am sure conflicts would have happened..but I don't believe the current mess would have been so...desperate on all sides

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Well, I am off to breakfast, newspaper, shower then work. Enjoy the day. Toadette, tell your husband THANK YOU!

6:02 am

carleekat

and on that note... I think I will look for my first word

6:03 am

lynxxx

bye Scrabbler - have a great day

6:03 am

carleekat

oh..what a yummy and rich first word..I love pa4 on crackers....

6:03 am

toadandtoadette

thanks scrab, have a wonderful day!

6:04 am

Ogdens Nut

My strong views on the US lynxxx are that Bush has turned the great country that it was into a bankrupt basket case and a laughing stock for much of the world..

6:06 am

lynxxx

He will move on Zenmed (aka be booted out) and let's keep our fingers crossed for a better leader for that country

6:06 am

toadandtoadette

it is sad that you think that, because inside our country we are not that messed up. It was a mistake that we admit to having become involved in the situation. we are a strong country that gets involved when it doesn't need to. and that is a downfall. every country has their downfalls. it just so happens that because the US is seen as a great country everyone looks at us intensely

6:07 am

Ogdens Nut

Yes lynxxx, hopefully Hillary

6:08 am

jakes-mum

afternoon everyone

6:08 am

lynxxx

Hi JakesMum

6:08 am

herinfernallady

Hey Jakes how is the bean?

6:08 am

toadandtoadette

what irratates me more is that people look down on what the troops are doing over there. They don't have a choice because they signed on the dotted line when they joined. But instead of trying to see some good out of it, everyone belittles what they do. My husband has a job and he does it. While he is deployed he does good things by medically helping people who would otherwise not get the help

6:09 am

Ogdens Nut

Hi jakes

6:09 am

toadandtoadette

hi jakesmum... someone mentioned that you are also expecting

6:09 am

lynxxx

Zenmed - she's certainly got the backbone and the 'nous'

6:10 am

jakes-mum

I am, due on the 12th Jan, you'll all have to excuse me today i'm angry with my hubby and may be a bit miserable today

6:10 am

toadandtoadette

oh I'm sorry jakesmum. I know the feeling lots of days

6:11 am

toadandtoadette

I'm due Oct 8

6:11 am

carleekat

Toad, I don't think ( this from canadian perspective ) that the "troops" are looked down upon as a whole ( individual like the abu gharhab situation..yes ). I n this way this is completely diff from vietnam. This time people realise it is the administration ( all of the admin) and not the troops themselves

6:11 am

Anne38

what is the problem darling xxx

6:11 am

lshult

are there any clues around for the 7's?

6:12 am

lynxxx

Toad - I'm not into war/conflict either - but certainly would not decry any military personnel over there. They do an unenviable job - above and beyond what they probably 'signed up' for.

6:12 am

Ogdens Nut

Toad, I am aware that the troopps are doing the best that they can; unfortunately they have a moron as commander-in-chief

6:12 am

Anne38

any one got the go 5 20 please

6:13 am

toadandtoadette

I understand what you are all saying, but I hear it first hand from some and see how it effects the troops when things are said because I am surrounded by them and am married to one of the best (in my opinion...
)

I used to play a lot of Literati

7:48 am

Anniebrook

yw flask

7:48 am

harrietvane

I'm familiar with the syndrome ;)

7:50 am

Dachef

babble addiction: first of all you find yourself waking at 3am and screaming "potato", and then rushing to the computer to enter it. Next stage is when you print out babble pages in the morning so you can play at work all day.

7:50 am

Dachef

In extreme cases you can be found in the internet cafe across the street from where you work at every available opportunity....

7:50 am

pinkhatlil

lolol flask just seen brain fried message

7:51 am

Dachef

And when you dont play for a week you start to shake, and play in your dreams.....

7:51 am

8:30 am

Anniebrook

I have to learn to drag the list near the grid...oh dear

8:31 am

Scarlet

I did the same thing, Judy... and the missing words were almost always plurals or root words... some really wierd ones in there... I finished in time to see the Home Run Derby on ESPN!

8:31 am

Flask1

Oh I was determined....I even asked my carers to come a couple of hours later to put me to bed........it was worth it tho'......I couldn't stop smiling...I was sooooooo pleased!!!

9:07 am

flosey

9:09 am

grannymaxx

hello inge and flosey.

9:09 am

flosey

hi granny

9:09 am

9:12 am

Jacula

Lovely dogs! I'm afraid you'll have to put up with my ugly mug on my icon until I get this new computer loaded with my pics and things.

9:13 am

inge

well, your name is pretty easy. Some of the intricate ones throw me every time.

9:13 am

Jacula

9:13 am

Haz1558

The ones (the names) without vowels are difficult, I find.

9:13 am

Jacula

I'm not moving words in this grid as fast as I did in yesterda's.

9:14 am

Jacula

*days. Sigh!

9:17 am

inge

Hi, stid. I use the browser only after I have exhausted regular babble for at least half the words, since the browser tends to introduce the list

9:17 am

grannymaxx

yep but not till 11:30 pm!! you were still going strong then...did you finish?

9:17 am

Haz1558

There's a new approach to not putting words in chat. Use German!

9:18 am

sallyds

Can anyone clue of 4/5? This is the second time this word has turned up and it has be totally baffled.

9:18 am

Jacula

OUCH! There's a greenfly in my eye!

9:18 am

stidmama

I got down to 48 words. both babble and the babble browser froze up on me with 25 minutes to go...

Haz1558

pe6/24 - chest muscle meets a can to form part of fruit

9:21 am

stidmama

9:21 am

flosey

I wanted that word but couldn't see it, thanks inge

9:22 am

stidmama

Aloyisius

Jacula

Hello, Judi.

9:35 am

Judi

Sounds like fun, Stid. Ashland, NC?

9:35 am

Aloyisius

Ashland is also in Ohio.. Ashland College

9:35 am

JFB

The gardening programmes were full of drought resistant plants and tropical crops global warming would enable us to grow! My plants are swimming ad the roses flattened by torrential rain and gales!

9:35 am

CiociaJudy

9:35 am

stidmama

Ashland Oregon in the siskyous

9:35 am

stidmama

sorry, didn't realize there were so many! LOL

9:35 am

Judi

Ah. I was waaaay off.

9:36 am

Jacula

JFB - that sounds just like my garden.:(

9:36 am

CiociaJudy

how far is that from you stid?

9:36 am

Aloyisius

stid, siskyous?

9:36 am

Jacula

If it rains shortly, blame me; I'm about to put some washing on the line.

9:36 am

CiociaJudy

JFB, send some of that rain here. I will be watering the garden tonight when I get home.

9:36 am

stidmama

the mountain range aloyisius, very tall. Mt. Shasta is part of them

9:36 am

Haz1558

The triumph of hope over experience, Jacula.

9:37 am

Aloyisius

ahh, ty.. must get there someday

9:37 am

stidmama

well the california border is fifteen miles further south. 8 hours driving like me, 10 driving like my mother...

9:37 am

JFB

Quick check to see how near Jacula is to me - should be OK here!

9:37 am

Jacula

Yup, Haz. Anyway, it's good exercise running in an out to rescue it.;-)

9:37 am

stidmama

it's a wonderful town. but getting SO expensive. this will be the first time the boys are old enough to see the plays as we haven't gone down since my granmother died in '01

9:38 am

Haz1558

But it's SO frustrating. Especially when you're convinced that the clouds have gone, only to have one directly overhead, just as you are pinning the clothes out.

9:38 am

Jacula

Haz - I thought that only happened to me!

9:38 am

stidmama

yes, the rain coming at the wrong time is as bad as it not coming at all. the plants just can't adapt.

9:39 am

CiociaJudy

sounds like a great trip, stid. But I don't envy you driving for 8 to 10 hours. Will you make the trip in one day?

9:39 am

Haz1558

No, to me as well. We're doomed.

9:39 am

stidmama

I think that's partly why I lost so many dahlias over the winter.

9:39 am

Jacula

LOL

9:39 am

Haz1558

Said in best Frazer voice.

9:39 am

stidmama

oh yes. When my grandmother was very sick I drove down once a month for four months on the weekend. I don't mind driving... :-) it's all the idiots on the road that I mind! LOL

9:40 am

Jacula

My runner beans and tomato plants haven't grown at all since I put them out in the big pots. The weather's so weird I don't think they know what to do. Normally, they'd be romping away by now.

Aloyisius

9:49 am

Haz1558

I must remember, the next time that I am wallpapering, to announce to the family that I am about to im7. It'll sound really impressive.

9:50 am

Aloyisius

lol, Haz... good idea!

9:51 am

Aloyisius

ni4 is a newbie for me too... ni + nickname for daddy

9:51 am

hetty

Great iea Haz--just so long as you are not thought to be an impo***r!

9:52 am

Haz1558

They've learned not to criticise, in case the brush is thrust into their hand!

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Shhh, quiet, I am at work, but the boss, Richard Head, is not here yet, and our office manager, Marcia Machete, is on vacation.

9:52 am

Haz1558

Phone...

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Help with that im7--I have never done wallpapering.

9:53 am

Aloyisius

Aloyisius

9:53 am

Judi

*whispers* Hi, Scrabbler! Glad to know you're have a dick head free morning.

9:53 am

hetty

Ever kept a scrapbook, Scrabbler?

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I see it now, TY!

9:54 am

Aloyisius

hot dog!

9:54 am

Scrabbler

LOL, Judi, but when he arrives, we will all know it. Hr comes in like a hurricane.

9:55 am

Aloyisius

Scrabbler, don't you worry about "big brother" when you write on a computer at work?

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Like someone catching me with a game on the screen?

9:56 am

Aloyisius

I mean, i have a friend who was called on the carpet for jotting an email to her daughter.. she thought she had deleted it... but the trace was there

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Or Miss Machete looking at the web history?

9:56 am

Judi

Your bosses names sound like they came from a sit-com. Like... The Office or Monty Python.

9:56 am

Aloyisius

yes, web history

9:56 am

Aloyisius

or worse..

9:57 am

Haz1558

Well, I do believe the skies are looking less threatening, so I should take the chance to get my legs stretched (they could do with it) and exercise the dog. Happy babbling to all, especially those who risk life, limb and career for the sake of finding words....

9:57 am

Judi

Ha ha! It's a dangerous past-time, Haz, but addiction rules!

9:57 am

Aloyisius

have a wonderful walk, Haz. big scratch behind the ears to Spangles.. (-:

Scrabbler

LOL, this place could supply plenty of material for writers of The Office. Yesterday he posted a note stating that he was disappointed about the staff performance with charting and said there will be a $2 fine for future infractions. Baseline fine = 50cents. How degrading and demeaning is that practice? When it was first instituted several yrs ago I refused to pay a fine---we are humans and sometimes mistakes happen, and rewards/incentives work better than punsihments.

10:00 am

Judi

Let me guess who collects the fines...

10:01 am

Aloyisius

gheez, what a way to manage.. :-(

10:01 am

Scrabbler

They go into a pot and then he uses the $ for a happy hour every few months. I don't attend any office functions.

10:01 am

Scrabbler

He says the fines work, but they don't because he hires lousy staff people---no sense or work ethic.

10:02 am

Judi

That always kills me. Why would anyone go to a "happy hour" with people they despise (unless to accidentaly on purpose spill drinks on those despised).

10:03 am

flosey

what could be 'happy' about that

10:03 am

Scrabbler

I tell people here that this is my job and then I have my own social life. I socialize with just 2 co-workers.

10:03 am

hetty

Hi flosey! Jill and I need to talk to you about Stid's visit sometime.

10:04 am

Scrabbler

The lone D word and the lone i--top right corner---clues?

10:07 am

flosey

10:07 am

hetty

Now we should both pay fines for discussing private matters on trhe grid!

10:08 am

Scrabbler

She improved with one dose of IV antibiotic, and never met the criteria for toxic shock syndrome--fortunately she never got that sick.

10:08 am

flosey

oh dear, wouldn't that be terrible

LOL Scarlet

11:35 am

lbdawger

my neighbor's cat thinks it's a dog so why not?

11:35 am

Scarlet

Exactly the same with my beastie... she barks, guards, fetches and sits up for treats... as well as "shaking" paws for treats...

11:36 am

Scarlet

And she's a 15+ year old tiger cat with golden eyes...

11:36 am

Jellen

Or you could look on it as a catgod

11:36 am

Scarlet

LOL, Jellen...

11:36 am

Jellen

Met cats with that delusion before

11:37 am

lbdawger

Jellen, isn't that redundant? don't cats already think they are gods?

11:37 am

caitlyn

LOL jellen

11:37 am

Scarlet

Please don't tell her that she's not a dog, it would break her heart, Jellen... LOL, Ib

11:38 am

lbdawger

The neighbors have a rottie, and he seems to think the cat is a cool buddy to hang out with. they sleep together too.

11:39 am

caitlyn

lbd all amnner of thoughts are now going round in my head LOL

11:39 am

Jellen

My dog loves my cats, but they don't care much for her.

11:39 am

Fishbulb

morning / afternoon / evening folks

11:39 am

Scarlet

Back in Pennsylvania, a farmer had a crew of barncats who "adopted" a dozen ducklings, and they were very funny to watch..

11:40 am

caitlyn

Hi Fish

11:40 am

Scarlet

Hi, Fishbulb!

11:40 am

Jellen

hi, Fishbulb!

11:40 am

lbdawger

hi fish

11:42 am

lbdawger

The rottie is very protective of the cat unless he's out visiting our house, then all bets are off. He protects us...not his masters mind you. And he pretty much lets the cat know he's not allowed in our yard.

11:43 am

caitlyn

I really miss having a dog...when we can face it we will have another rescue dog

11:44 am

EvaNadine

sad -- started ouring rain as soon as we walked outside!

11:44 am

Scarlet

Our furball is very placid when in her "guard-spot" table facing the large yard...she is bored by the squirrels, ignores the dogs who visit, but gets all bent out of shape when another cat crosses "her" home base...

11:45 am

Scarlet

She's been an indoor cat her whole life.

11:45 am

caitlyn

Hi Eva,,shame about the weather

11:45 am

Scarlet

Hi, EvaN!

11:46 am

EvaNadine

*sniffle*
because of my hopefully-upcoming move, i have to re-home my kitties. :/

11:46 am

lbdawger

please send pouring rain this way EvaN

11:46 am

Scarlet

Awwww...

11:46 am

lbdawger

i hope you find good homes for them EvaN.

11:46 am

Scarlet

Ib, are you in the path of any of the raging wildfires out West?

11:46 am

caitlyn

Dont cry Eva Im sure you will find good homes for them

11:47 am

EvaNadine

its tough cause theyre not kittens anymore, though theyre only 4 years old + have lots of life left!
not only that, but its gonna be heart-breaking to split them up because theyve been raised as sisters!

11:47 am

Scarlet

You're pulling my heartstrings, EvaN... they will find good homes, though, won't they?

11:48 am

EvaNadine

i wish i could find someone to take them both together, but its proving to be very difficult. and all of the non-kill shelters have huge waiting lists!

i have 2 people who have expressed interest, so hopefully they pan out!

11:49 am

Scarlet

So there is more than a glimmer of hope for a good result, then, Eva!

11:49 am

EvaNadine

and meanwhile, im trying to get my AC system replaced, find someone to rent out my room once i move out, and find a place for the BF and i to move into!

Jellen

hi, Ata

11:51 am

EvaNadine

Ata -- not most likely. for starters, i just dont have the time to give them that i really should.
plus, since the BF and i will be renting, its not likely that whoever we rent from will allow pets -- most places in that area dont.

11:51 am

Atalante

caitlyn

Hi ata and peri

11:52 am

Sandieangel

11:52 am

12:51 pm

jakes-mum

nm I got it, FIREWORKS

12:51 pm

stidmama

Atalante, I highly advise you to talk to your physician and ask about getting an "epi-pen". Stings often get worse with subsequent incidents. A friend who is a bee-keeper told me that up to about age 30 (if you're not allergic) you build antiserum in your blood when stung. After that, your body starts to react badly.

12:51 pm

stidmama

YAY jakesmum!

12:52 pm

stidmama

mmmm. spaghetti.... (pa 5)

12:52 pm

Atalante

I'm going tomorrow :)

12:52 pm

elder

Ata that's awful and potentially dangerous so do you need to carry an alert on your person ( not for the bees !) but for others to know to give aid if required.

12:53 pm

stidmama

good for you {{{mama hugs for Atalante}}}

snowygal18

I hate to interrupt, but I'm thinking about updating to a pro account, and I'd love to know what exactly the perks are...if there's a part of the page I just haven't seen that explains these, let me know. Otherwise, if someone could either explain it here or send me an email at loon y gal18 at gmail . com, that would be great

6:12 pm

hurshy

how long have you been playing?

6:12 pm

featherbee

after about 2 weeks, you lose the "tile stats" and the "word stats" along with the fireworks and total # of words.

6:12 pm

snowygal18

Ah. Thank you.

6:13 pm

snowygal18

Then I'm buying it...I'm hooked. I've been playing about 4 days, but I play competitive Boggle offline

6:13 pm

hurshy

i ask the question, feather goes straight for the answer

6:13 pm

featherbee

lol hursh

6:13 pm

hurshy

what do you mean, "competitive boggle"? is there any other kind???

6:14 pm

featherbee

see, my way, i didn't need to wait to hear

6:14 pm

KnightTime

hurshy - did you say yesterday that Dr G does not control the number of words?

6:14 pm

Flask1

that was my last one..thanks forthe clues....goodnight all............

6:14 pm

snowygal18

Thanks for your help

6:14 pm

hurshy

i did say that

6:14 pm

KnightTime

does he control which puzzle is posted?

6:15 pm

KnightTime

it seems that holidays have unusually small puzzles = that implies some level of intervention

6:15 pm

hurshy

no, a computer generates the grids, with certain guidelines so we get at least a few vowels.

6:15 pm

featherbee

welcome snowy! oh and of course you get to have a lovely icon

6:15 pm

snowygal18

I mean for money. Yes, really. It's pretty phenomenal, really.

6:15 pm

hurshy

wow, where do you live?

6:15 pm

KnightTime

but does Dr G accept, reject the puzzles before posting?

6:16 pm

snowygal18

Wisconsin...but it's just among friends. Some people play poker...we play boggle.

6:16 pm

hurshy

based on my impression of doc's personailty and the fact that he doesn't even play the grids (or the sudokus), i'm thinkin he's not gonna stay up til midnight for that...

6:16 pm

featherbee

umm, our water just stopped

6:17 pm

featherbee

we have a well.

6:17 pm

hurshy

that's not good

6:17 pm

KnightTime

true, but he could generate the grid early, look at the word list, etc and then decide to accept/reject

6:17 pm

carra

tin 5/10 clue?

6:17 pm

hurshy

well, why don't you email him and ask him?

6:18 pm

carra

6:19 pm

KnightTime

did I mention I graduated from the Univ of Duh?

6:19 pm

hurshy

well you're still here, so your power's not out...

6:19 pm

featherbee

true

6:19 pm

hurshy

but your pump might have given out i suppose

6:19 pm

KnightTime

are you on a pump feather?

6:19 pm

featherbee

crap

6:19 pm

featherbee

i guess so

6:19 pm

KnightTime

maybe a breaker flipped or a fuse blew

6:19 pm

featherbee

we had a pump put down in the well about a year ago though i think

6:19 pm

featherbee

6:23 pm

6:26 pm

hurshy

6:26 pm

kristinc

hmm...never heard of that movie...kind of cool to have filming going on so close (unless that type of thing happens too often)

6:26 pm

KnightTime

easily over 100 in tucson today

6:27 pm

carra

alot of movies are being filmed in ct and my area.. they just passed some tax thing for filming so its cheap or w/e

(the US is having a heat wave and I am very pregnant)

6:27 pm

lizmac

Easily over 50 here!!

6:27 pm

Eyeman

hi. I thought spam was a word we see everyday

6:28 pm

KnightTime

it is eyeman, just not a word in the Enable dictionary

6:28 pm

kristinc

I know eyeman...I keep typing it in and hoping it will work on the 10th, 11th time

6:28 pm

hurshy

when it comes to enable, "don't ask, don't tell" is really the best policy

6:28 pm

Eyeman

oh well, it works backwards

6:28 pm

lizmac

Poor you, I really hate being too hot...and being pregnant makes it even worse. Wouldn't say no to some summer here though.

6:29 pm

hurshy

phantom: imitate

6:30 pm

kristinc

yeah, I'm actually surviving...isn't that the way it is though? we always want the weather we don't have. I'll be begging for sun in about 6 months so I'm trying to enjoy it

6:30 pm

lizmac

my icon gives a clue to the CY7/40, you might have to refresh to see it.

6:31 pm

KnightTime

from dr g: "Puzzles are 100% computer-generated."

6:31 pm

hurshy

see... the hursh knows things.

6:31 pm

kristinc

hi Scrabb

8:05 pm

saphyre

hi scrabbler

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, new ones are surfacing, but I am less sore than yesterday. I went biking on a paved trail a few hrs ago, with a friend. We did 10 miles in 55 min, and it was close to 90 degrees. I had a near-death experience from the exertion and heat, then got my second wind to finish, and the endorphins are flowing!

8:07 pm

pam

geeeeeez...scrab! You are pushing yourself!

8:07 pm

Mom

I am glad you are not as sore today. That is quite a ride.

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

I thought I would see more words than I did this AM, but I am not.

My hubby was telling our oldest about the Rails for Trails just the other day.
Next summer he is talking of wanting to bike through Europe (our son that is)

8:10 pm

8:10 pm

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

Cool, Mom. Pam, I am trying to get back into the shape I was in 10 and more yrs ago.

8:12 pm

Mom

8:12 pm

pam

Good for you, scrab! This month has been my month to do more, and I have. But I am NOT a bicyclist!

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

What exercise do you like to do, Pam?

8:13 pm

I walk. And I love floor work, the old-school leglifts.

8:13 pm

I am trying, Pam, and it isn't easy.

It is hard, I know. And, it gets harder as we get older...

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

Anybody going to see the harry Potter movie tomorrow? I pre-ordered the book from Amazon--half-price.

8:17 pm

pam

I am trying to walk more and more...

8:17 pm

Scrabbler

I entered menopause instantly with surgery 11/03, so my metabolism is similar to a rock.

8:17 pm

saphyre

I am

8:17 pm

Mom

I'm not Scrabbler.

8:17 pm

pam

Our store will have it at 40. You have heard me--won't support Amazon as they are driving bookstores out of existence

8:17 pm

dianec1967

Scrabbler, would those books truly entertain a 40 year old. I've never read one, but have been thinking about it.

8:18 pm

pam

I started at 29, scrab. A good doc has helped... but I have a metabolism issue, too

8:18 pm

pam

DIane---YES

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

Pam, I do like independent bookstores, but I have to save money whenever possible.

I have enjoyed all of the HP books a lot!

Oh, I am not criticizing you scrab, or anyone else, it's my pet peeve

8:19 pm

hurshy

i can't preorder HP - i'd have to wait too long... i buy em right at midnight

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

Why 29, Pam? That is quite early?

8:19 pm

dianec1967

OK. I've been roaming the library aimlessly for something decent. Getting tired of med. mysteries.

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy.

8:19 pm

pam

PCOS, scrabs

8:19 pm

saphyre

hurshy

hi, just had to chime in on HP :)

8:20 pm

Scrabbler

That's what I suspected, Pam--that stinks.

8:20 pm

Mom

Hi Hursh

8:20 pm

pam

Hi, hursh

8:21 pm

Scrabbler

Hogwarts is my desktop display. Mugglenet.com is a great site to go through. Sorry, folks, I am a muggle, as much as I wish I was Hermione.

8:21 pm

pam

It has its moments, that's for sure!!!! I hate so much of its physical attributes, on the other hand, it's not cancer

8:21 pm

Mom

peck? Saphyre :)

8:22 pm

hurshy

i'm still a little sick though, so i'm going to finish watching law and order in bed... night all

8:22 pm

Mom

8:22 pm

saphyre

hi hurshy

8:22 pm

pam

Isn't that the truth, scrabs!

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

Good night, Hurshy, I hope you feel better soon.

8:23 pm

pam

An advantage for me, scrab--I tend to form muscle mass easier than many! Now, that could be genes, or the PCOS, LOL!

8:23 pm

Scrabbler

And would we want to trade our package of problems with someone else, or keep what we have? I am who I am BECAUSE of what I have overcome.

8:23 pm

pam

WELL SAID! Well said, scrabs!

8:24 pm
