12:22 am

jillibus

DRBERNABO

1:17 am

vonbayags

1:17 am

DRBERNABO

1:18 am

Jacula

I'm not in the new grid. Off listening to music. My first love. LOL

1:18 am

DRBERNABO

1:22 am

Jellen

Remedial clue? Frustrated with self....

1:22 am

DRBERNABO

the o on the left is biological

1:23 am

abmoraz

Jellen: im8 - a staph infection of the skin common in children

1:31 am

FranMag

on5/14, it's almost a root vegetable

1:31 am

DRBERNABO

I believe the lu 8 is metalic or metal like

1:31 am

DRBERNABO

not that metalic and metal like are two completely different things

1:31 am

DRBERNABO

Douglas

Hello Fran!

1:33 am

FranMag

1:33 am

Douglas

Hello jillibus...

1:33 am

1:35 am

abmoraz

1:35 am

jillibus

1:35 am

Douglas

I consider it the Princess Bride of the 00's

1:35 am

FranMag

well, i checked crossword bebop and since you had current posts we weren't worried.

1:36 am

abmoraz

too bad they did stardust. The author wrote so many better books than that

1:36 am

FranMag

i'll have to check it out then

1:36 am

abmoraz

The sandman: book of dreams is one of his best

1:37 am

abmoraz

stardust isn't bad, but it's a bit ... juvenile. Written somewhat down for kids

1:37 am

Douglas

my son says the book is much better then the movie a lot of good parts were left out he says

1:37 am

Douglas

although the ghosts were pretty funny

1:38 am

jillibus

well, I give up on the O word. Must go to bed -- bye all

1:38 am

abmoraz

Douglas

1:41 am

Jellen

1:46 am

pigeonman

Not trying too hard, though.

I don't think I'll ever be good at this!

2:28 am

meliae

I have played boggle and tanglewords for years so that helps me some

2:29 am

meliae

but boy some of the words they come up with here are amazing

2:29 am

Atalante

the difference is here that the "aim" is to get all the words, in boggle its just to get as many as you can

2:30 am

o-o

most of the time, the words are less difficult to find after you have found them

2:30 am

Jellen

I'm no good at timed word games.

2:31 am

Jellen

Sometimes I can't find words I've already found, BabbleRabble.

2:31 am

Atalante

2:31 am

4:03 am

Haz1558

melia - un plus a three letter word that can refer to part of the sails in a sail boat, or cowboy films used to refer to it with regards to carriages.

4:03 am

Haz1558

loredana, the dress will be on permanent exhibition as soon as I can find somewhere willing to display it.

4:04 am

Haz1558

It's been rejected in most places I've tried - mutterings about insurance, grounds of taste, frightening the public, that sort of thing.

4:05 am

meliae

4:13 am

Haz1558

The only li5/14 I have refers to a shortened term for language.

Jellen

great clue, meliae, thanks

4:17 am

meliae

li+ i hope they ***b it for you before they take out the stitches

4:17 am

Haz1558

li5/14 - looks like a latin version of a straight thing going between two points.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Or the floor covering, take out the letters between the start and the finish.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Hope the de-stitching goes okay, Atalante.

4:18 am

sprite

oh wow, this is funny. I entered a very dutch word just for fun (and because I HAVE come to know enable and its surprises) and it takes! GL6/27.

4:19 am

sprite

usually destitching isn't as bad as one fears. Hope the same for you, Ata.

4:19 am

Ogdens Nut

li6- going in a straight li4

4:20 am

Haz1558

My memories of de-stitching are that when they stitch you up, anaesthesia is available. Not so for the reverse process.

4:20 am

Atalante

we shall see ... exactly, Haz!

4:20 am

meliae

now I have an hour and half until meds I should of went slower lol

4:21 am

sprite

then I wish you a repetition of my memory... I was really scared and told them to tell me when they would start, and they said... it is done already.

4:21 am

Atalante

lucky you!!

4:21 am

sprite

meliae: sudoku?

4:21 am

meliae

this may sound weird but the few times I have had stitches they actually felt good getting them out, it seemed to ease the itchiness

4:22 am

sprite

yes, it was a 13 cm long wound, so I was really scared.

4:22 am

meliae

I have a hard time playing that online it takes me forever to solve one

4:22 am

sprite

anyway Ata: will be thinking of you and if they hurt you, I will kick the offender where it hurts them, ok?

4:22 am

Atalante

last time it rmember it hurt like heck, so it can't be any worse this time!

4:22 am

sprite

4:22 am

4:25 am

Jellen

You could work on your word collection, meliae

4:27 am

Ogdens Nut

there is a qu5 number of L words in the grid today

4:28 am

Haz1558

That's a good Irish use of the term, Zen - or Ballymena at any rate.

4:29 am

sprite

now I am wondering which qu5 that is! The silent one, the part of a geometrical form one or the one I don't have yet!

4:30 am

Jellen

Tired now. Goodbye all!

4:30 am

Haz1558

The geometrical form one. The other one is French.

4:30 am

6:37 am

carleekat

6:41 am

rolin

ooooooooohhh...my partner has been trying to convince me of that for ages..lol

6:41 am

Atalante

lmao yes. haz is completely right. ish.

6:41 am

Atalante

just had stitches out from having a lump chopped out of my back. and its ITCHING

6:41 am

Haz1558

Ish, such a useful warning. It means, don't believe a word I say.

6:42 am

Atalante

Ish is great. It can mean anything

6:42 am

lynxxx

Would a shower ease the itch Atal? or maybe some nice person could rub some cream or oil into the area

6:43 am

Haz1558

It probably drives statisticians mad.

6:43 am

rolin

im having a lovely day..two of my autistic charges made communication with me for the first time

6:43 am

Haz1558

That's wonderful, rolin! What made the breakthrough?

6:44 am

Atalante

as clever as Hobbit is, I dont think she could manage that :) ITCHING it would help, but ..... maybe I've got some calamine somewhere

6:44 am

lynxxx

That must have felt so fantastic Rolin

6:44 am

Haz1558

Or E45?

6:45 am

Atalante

oh, yes, I have some of that. brb. and that's wonderful, rolin!

6:47 am

6:48 am

carleekat

6:48 am

lynxxx

bye Haz & Spangle

6:49 am

lynxxx

Thankyou so much Carlee - copied

6:49 am

Atalante

wow, I think even I could manage something like that

6:49 am

carleekat

wow that was quick lynxxx..mind that the QUICK way....arabs would be ticked I use honey but was an egyptian woman who taught me that method...soooooo

6:50 am

carleekat

if u can make banaffee... u can make baklawa

6:50 am

carleekat

so..i have found 12 words thus far..this is NOT looking good people

6:50 am

Atalante

what would they use instead of honey?

6:51 am

carleekat

u make a syrup of water and sugar with a bit of lemon in it

6:51 am

lynxxx

Carlee - do you perchance have a recipe for Greek Baklawa type thingees....the filo is coiled (like a snail), usually about 1.5-2 inches in diameter, and has chopped pistachio nuts in it?

6:52 am

carleekat

I do both ways..if am making FOR arabs.... I make with syrup... if am just making en mass or for "canadians" I use honey... the greeks use honey... arabs make syrup

6:52 am

Atalante

oh yes, of course. yumminess

6:52 am

carleekat

its the same stuff lynxxx... just different presentations....

6:53 am

carleekat

use more layers of filo...( melted butter spread between each layer )

6:53 am

lynxxx

Oh good - I'll tackle your recipe first then and then experiment...TY again

6:53 am

carleekat

use pistaccios instead of walnuts

6:53 am

carleekat

its all baklawa...

6:54 am

Atalante

and what about the honey-soaked semolina-y stuff that looks like little pieces of cake?

6:54 am

carleekat

u will get "same tase" making the way I describe..just substituting pistacios...

6:54 am

xitrytoohard

g'day

6:54 am

carleekat

that presentation is less "messy" and more manageable for a crowd... no layers pulling apart no nuts falling all over

6:55 am

carleekat

that is basboussa

6:56 am

Atalante

ah I've never managed to work uot what it was called!

6:56 am

carleekat

is lke corncake...only instead of cornmeal you use semolina... and you make the syrup... ( means much kisses..litterally translated )

6:57 am

lynxxx

Hi iitry

6:57 am

carleekat

7:04 am

carleekat

OH.. I have a wicked recipe for a pull apart meat you roast for long time..am planning to do for our neighbourhood christmas party....

7:04 am

carleekat

so instead of "slicing " the meat... its fallen apart...less work... and the sauce is great on bread with the meat

7:05 am

ursh

I have a "catering" friend - who is doing the food for me ' thank goodness - but l like the idea of falling apart meat - i dont like meat underdone

7:05 am

carleekat

this way..don't have to worry about other garnishes so..only slice and dice the veggies in your salad instead of doing tewice

7:06 am

carleekat

ok..well hollar when / if you want the beef recipe sometime....I don't have on top of head I have to look it up... loads of "stuff to add' thenyou cook for 6-8 hurs in a slow oven

7:07 am

ursh

8:06 am

72 Temple Owl

we could dedicate ourselves to helping the babble addicted

8:06 am

why do people call it "old time" children get it today

8:06 am

Haha, I see im8 almost everyday in the office.

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Owl, and we would pray for them at appointed hours.

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

TO, a 12-step Babble addiction program . . . how entertaining that could be LOL!!

8:07 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i had a time in middle school where i was hit with like 3 or 4 different ailments at once...
i was not a pretty picture...

golfer

gotta go bye

8:07 am

bichon

In fact my grandaughter currently has it from scratching her eczema

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Great idea, Une! But the goal cannot be to stop playing Babble---for me it is a relaxing, social addiction, that also increases my word power. It has made me a better Scrabbler.

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Did our troll go away that quickly?

8:08 am

Atalante

I think it goes hand in hand with ezcema qu*** a lot

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

oh, puh-leeze . . . NO ONE would get thru the whole 12 steps!!

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Of course not, Une, we would be here most of the time instead of in the program.

8:09 am

carleekat

oh goodie..did I miss a troll?

8:09 am

Atalante

only a 1 line troll

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Someone propositioned us, Carlee. First time in my life--what a thrill.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

For education or to become a nun?

8:12 am

72 Temple Owl

before i go, does anyone else think "hedonite" should be a word?

8:12 am

Atalante

apparently, education

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Sounds good to me, Owl.

8:13 am

EvaNadine

isnt it hedonist?

8:13 am

Atalante

we had yellow uniforms, and had to go to days of repentence every term where we had to meditate for 4 hours (this was when I was 10!)

8:13 am

Dorens

morning all

8:13 am

Dorens

yes owl, i will accept hedonite

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Well, Ata, some women enter a convent and decide against continuing on.

I need te8 and the one you are missing, Eva.

8:15 am

Atalante

8:15 am

Dorens

te 8 is a gerund of te 5/14 scrabs

8:16 am

loredana

8:17 am

carleekat

oh crap...how thehell to clue it

8:17 am

Dorens

*patiently waiting*

8:17 am

EvaNadine

well, it starts out with the LU4/5 instrument

8:17 am

Ogdens Nut

Ghastly, Scrabbler - run by hypocritical sadistic puerile priests who took pleasure in beating and humiliating the kids whenever possible.... and thats only the start of it

8:18 am

lshult

give it your best shot, carleekat

8:18 am

Atalante

was that in Ireland, Zen?

8:18 am

Dorens

I often wonder why people send their children to those schools

8:18 am

carleekat

take the lu4 above it ( the musical instrument) + 2/3 froce water backwards+ and the sound we make when we are clueless

8:18 am

lynxxx

lu8.60 lu** (musical instrument) + vowel + and cal*** makes bones/teeth strong

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Oh, loredana--I am so glad you are here. I talked to Jacula last night. Bunny Callie is dribbling pee again, and it is milky. I think her bladder sludge is back, which means a metabolic problem with calcium. She is happy and active and eating well. The last vet bill was almost $900. She is 7 yrs old this week. Do I leave her be and be a happy old rabbit, or should I carry out aggressive and expensive vet care??? I wil speak with my vet later.

Feather, congratulations, I see you have added a new babbler, welcome to Nicholas and hi to Daniel!

8:28 am

8:29 am

The evilness of Catholic priests ignored by Scrabbler, I see

8:29 am

Every 2-3 hrs, I bet, Feather. BTW, I checked your blog and saw photos--very cute, esp Daniel holding Nick.

8:29 am

featherbee

my listless days are over 4 a while

8:29 am

featherbee

he's been SOOO sweet

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Sorry, Zen, I had meant to comment back there. Yes, a horrible experience in the name of God.

8:30 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, Yes, it is a tough decision but knowing how much you love Callie you will make the right one between you and the vet. Give Callie a big hug and kiss for me

8:31 am

loredana

scrabbler I did check this out on the net when Callie had it before, if left untreated does anyone know the outcome, a 2.5kg rabb it requires 510mg cal per day article worth looking at Scrabbler gives the calcium provider groupings so you can adjust her diet accordingly it is at www.houserabbit.co.uk article written by claire king I always find the vets usually recommend treatment, but i honestly do not think they know a lot seem to want to treat them with feline treatments

8:31 am

Scrabbler

My mother told me the story of my grandmother (her mom) who grew up in Italy. My uncle(mom's bro) was not allowed to be an altar boy because my grandmother knew what happened to many boys with priests.

8:32 am

Dorens

So Italian priests are guilty as well?

8:32 am

loredana

congratulations on the arrival of Nicholas Heather

8:32 am

i think its an international thing- not just a USA thing

8:32 am

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Doren, my mother only told me that story a few yrs ago--my grandmother was born in Italy in 1894 and came to the US in 1912 or so. Interesting, and frightening.

8:36 am

Dorens

Quite so, scrabbler. But I guess it's no surprise that this has been happening everywhere, for long time. Just weren't aware of it until recently... but I'm sure others were. I can understand silence though, the church is powerful in many ways

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Yet, there are noble, holy priests--I know many. It is sad that some stain the whole.

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Is he feeding on both sides, feather, or just one so far?

8:36 am

Dorens

That is true, and probably the majority are worthy men, too.

8:36 am

Ogdens Nut

Scrabbler, why are such a high percentage of Catholic priests plainly evil ?

8:37 am

featherbee

depends really

8:37 am

featherbee

he falls asleep after 1 a lot more so at night

8:37 am

lideola

its been goingon for over a thousand years, but its only recently that it hasn't been seen as a stigma or taboo to put it out in the open

8:37 am

Ogdens Nut

And what does that say about that unholy institution?

8:37 am

Dorens

yes, that makes sense lideola.

8:38 am

zen, not sure that is a proven fact. around here, we had a rabi convicted of molesting his nephew for years as well as an anglican priest nabbed for child porn. a pedophile is a pedophile.

not to mention all of the coahes, many married with families.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Evil people are present throughout society--we all know of them, and I work with a few.

8:41 am

Ogdens Nut

Precisely lynxxx, so why on earth should anyone have the slightest regard for anything said in the name of any organised religion

8:41 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL and how is mr. head?

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Loredana--I have bookmarked the site and scanned Claire King's article--I will read it in depth later. TY for your help!!

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Dr Richard Head repulses me daily with his behavior. I avoid him whenever possible.

8:42 am

lideola

because for 1,950 of the past 2000 years, the church has been not only a source or religion, but a source of law- for many places there wasn't (and still isn't) a separation of church and state.

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

zen, i respect allof the fine people i have known who have chosen the religious life. God cleaned house out of respect for them, as i see it. and has taken down some of the high and mighty as well, who turned a blind eye.

8:42 am

lideola

there was/is no choice

8:42 am

PastorJ

Churches are only just beginning to face the problem. Many of us now have established protocols that include ensuring no adult is EVER alone with a child, and the two adults cannot be relatives. We all have to admit to problems and take steps to protect children. As several of you have noted, there are problems with abuse of power by coaches, lawyers, pastors, you name it. We all have to take responsibility.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

I have seen it referred to as "ordinary evil"--the daily evil that abounds in daily life committed by so many people.

8:43 am

Vicuna

Many doctors are also unethical and evil, but that doesn't mean you can't trust anything said by anyone on the medical field.

8:44 am

Judi

Morning all. Uh oh. We're talking politics AND religion. Never a good combo.

8:44 am

featherbee

interesting chat to watch!

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

my belief survives. however, i have always known the clergy as people, part of the family and community, with allof the foibles of man

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, look at the time--I have to get ready for work! Great comments by everyone on a difficult topic. I seek out the good, honest people in the world, and there are MANY!! Enjoy the day everyone!

8:45 am

72 Temple Owl

bye scrabs, hope you can avoid mr. head all day!

8:45 am

lideola

its not just children either- its anyone in a diminished capacity- the elderly, the mentally challenged. wherever there is an opportunity or even a slight chance for abuse it will happen

8:46 am

lynxxx

The power thing isn't peculiar to religion though Zenmed. Me personally, I'm not religious, but I respect others right to chose their form of belief to give meaning to (their) life. Different strokes for different folks

8:46 am

Ogdens Nut

Yes Vicuna, but doctors dont set themselves up to tell people how to live their lives- that is the point

8:46 am

lideola

lol i just think that the chat is much more interesting than the board today- THIS BOARD STINKS

8:46 am

Scrabbler

His internal emotional conflicts manifest themselves with this odd snorty sound he makes--it increases when he is around me as I don't put up with his crap.

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

i agree, lideola!

8:47 am

lideola

i've worked with dozens of physicians with little or no regard for other people. BUT i've worked with hundreds of doctors who are wonderful caring people. good with the bad, but the good remains in the majority.

People need to be informed "consumers" of religion just like anything else. Use your judgement, don't tolerate hypocrisy, and you will find plenty of wonderful role models and teachers.

9:27 am

Haz1558

Is your back still itchy?

9:27 am

Atalante

husbands are very good for long walks

9:27 am

Hmmph. Don't bother. I just assumed. I have 4 somewhat normal ones. All down hill from here.

9:51 am

stidmama

*wishing I hadn't started this grid...* oh well *grabs 1 lb chocolate bar and soldiers on*

9:51 am

Atalante

well at least 6 are normal ...

9:52 am

There is no "normal" in Babble.

9:52 am

Atalante

I'm going to run away for a bit and dance in the rain. well, something like that. back later!

9:53 am

stidmama

{{{{flosey}}}} it's lovely and sunny down here... and the blueberries are ripe! Tom picked nearly a cup from the bushes this morning!

9:53 am

NonoNanette

mmmm blueberries I love them

9:54 am

flosey

hi stid, no sun here yet but yes, blueberries ripening and also blackberries

9:54 am

stidmama

*holds out bowl of blueberries* we have patriot, olympias and another variety I can't remember

9:54 am

stidmama

the blackberries are still pretty sour around here -- not enough good sunny days yet. Fine for baking, but *yuck face* not great for eating

9:55 am

KristineNas

May I please have a clue for the Rh 7 ??

9:55 am

NonoNanette

mmm thanks stid

9:55 am

flosey

I don't know them by name stid - will have to ask the farmer

9:55 am

Atalante

I - um - not sure about the ending, kristine. *giggles then runs off*

9:55 am

NonoNanette

have been getting the nicest local blueberries lately they are so nice and big

9:56 am

stidmama

ah! found a canning word! :-)

9:56 am

KristineNas

get back here Ata lol

9:56 am

stidmama

yes, local blueberries seem to be best -- mostly I think because you get them at the freshest and ripest -- no early picking!

9:56 am

Atalante

(that *was* a clue by the way!)

9:56 am

KristineNas

yeah i know lol working onit

9:57 am

NonoNanette

miss the days when we used to go off on state land and pick wild blueberries for jams

9:58 am

stidmama

I like the wild red huckleberries -- we have a couple bushes in our yard that do well most years, but this year? almost nothing.

10:00 am

flosey

I don't even know the difference between blueberries and huckleberries stid - know I've eaten both

10:00 am

NonoNanette

clue for the en6.27 please

10:00 am

stidmama

okay, I have 50 words listless -- and the cutie pie guy in my icon wants to play. Outta here until later (going shopping with Mother soon)...

10:01 am

Judi

Congratulate me. I just slopped coffee on my keyboard!

10:01 am

stidmama

they're both vaccinia plants flosey, related to heathers and rhodies; I think blueberries are just human-hybridized to be sweeter and bigger. *poof*

sprite, still trouble with the mortgage? Is hubby still trying to straighten that out...can be quite trying and scary

10:10 am

Elkiee

How do people know the first 2 letters of a word...when asking for clues?

10:10 am

Anniebrook

elk---scroll down and click on Lickety's babble clues, that will tell you the first two letters of the word in this grid

10:10 am

sprite

we found out it is NOT a computer hiccup, the insurance company just never continued the incasso after we changed our mortgage. It is their fault, but still they want their money. First thing now is to talk to the mortgage holder and see if they can give us more time for starters, and if they will accept another insurance as certainty for the mortgage.

10:10 am

Anniebrook

*words

10:11 am

NonoNanette

there is licketys clues list to be found towards bottom of page in the friends of babbles list

10:12 am

Anniebrook

sprite, I know it is frightening and scary but it can be resolved...just one step at a time

10:14 am

Judi

Uhg. That happened to us once, Sprite. We refinanced and the mortgage company the new mortgage was assigned to lost the homeowners insurance info. We didn't know it until we got a cancellation notice from the insurance company for non-payment. Pain in the arse getting it straightened out.

10:14 am

sprite

I am a bit less panicky than yesterday. Spoke to our advisor and he said it might be possible to have that insurance totally stopped, replace it with another one and then we would not have to pay the 9000 euro.

10:14 am

sprite

bad thing then is, all we have already paid is lost. But I think it is better than taking on a loan now.

10:14 am

Judi

Ew ick. Much worse situation than mine!

10:15 am

sprite

Judi: that is exactly it! We have the same thing. They did not inform us on the missing payments for 3 years!

10:15 am

Judi

OMG! Three years! That's inexcusable. Sue their incompetent butts off!

10:17 am

sprite

exactly. But first of all, we need to get more time from the mortgage giver, because all other things will take time and we don't want them to cancel the mortgage because of this sh*t!

10:18 am

Judi

I'm sure they'll work with you Sprite. No one should be expected to come up with 9000 EU at the drop of a hat. I know I couldn't - no where near it!

10:18 am

sprite

can I whine for a moment? Here I am, PTSS and burnout and having panic attacks anyway. Then this happens. And then my boss informs me that A. they suspect me of working elsewhere while being sick, and B. they will be firing me soon because of a reorganisation at work. I feel like all security is falling away. God I am so scared.

10:19 am

movieman

he6/27 plz?

10:19 am

sprite

I think so too, Judi. And we asked the one who helped us get this mortgage to talk to the mortgage giver. They have more influence anyway.

10:19 am

Jacula

(Hugs) sprite and wishes she could nip on a flight to 'Dam to to so for real.

10:20 am

sprite

awwwww Jac that would be so great! But your wish is almost as good, it warms my heart. *hug*

10:20 am

Jacula

Sprite - do you have anything like The Citizen's Advice Bureau to seek advice from? We have that in UK.

10:20 am

Judi

Enlist all the help you can get, Sprite. Make them clean up their mistake. They should damn well pay for it to (in a perfect world). I can understand that you must be stressed beyond belief. {{{ hugs }}}

10:21 am

Jacula

It seems to me that YOU should not have to pay or be stressed out by someone else's foul up.

10:21 am

sprite

Yes, I think we do, Jac. We are thinking of getting our legal assistance insurance to look into the sue-able side of the insurance company. But first we must make sure we will keep our mortgage.

10:21 am

movieman

he6/27 plz

10:21 am

MM - dunno. I've only just started the grid.

10:22 am

That's one of my 12 empties MM sorry !

bichon

en 6/27?

10:23 am

Judi

As long as the insurance company has admitted culpability, get it in writing and share it with your Mortgage holder. Can't be the first time it's happend. They should be pros at working it out with each other. You should not be inconvenienced or punished in any way.

10:23 am

Kateq

he 6/27 medieval helmet

10:23 am

sprite

the bad thing is, though it is THEIR fault this went on for 3 years, it is still money we agreed to pay. It is not easy to let them pay for at least a part.
We had the same with the electricity. They forgot to bill us certain costs for 2 years, but they did bill us the rest, so we did never notice. Then we had to pay that rest... got a bill of over 1500 euro this January. We are paying that off now too. It never stops.

10:23 am

Jacula

sprite - Yes. Very wise to keep the mortgage people informed. You mustn't let the insurance people charge you for their mistake though.

10:24 am

sprite

we have an excuse letter from the insurance, in which they admit THEY never did the incasso for 3 years and they never informed us. That is something.

10:25 am

Jacula

sprite - make sure you don't lose that letter. Looks like you'll be able to sue them if they don't back off just with the threat of court action.

10:25 am

movieman

ty kate

10:26 am

Judi

Excellent. You have the smoking gun. I would have your legal counsel inform the ins. co that unless they make good on the payments, you will sue them for misappropriation of funds, fraud, theft, breach of contract, damage to your credit rating and anything else you can think of to throw at them.

10:26 am

KristineNas

I don't get the helmet clue ! Can someone elaborate please ?

10:26 am

Jacula

Judi - Good advice!

10:26 am

sprite

we won't lose it! And we will have our legal assistance look into it.

10:27 am

sprite

oh wow Judi, that sounds good. Scary, but good.

10:27 am

Judi

Ty. Used to work for lawyers. Guess some of it rubbed off.

10:27 am

Jacula

sprite - You have right on your side so don't be scared.

10:27 am

Judi

* cape flapping in wind* I choose to use my powers only for good. :-))

10:28 am

Jacula

LOL, Judi.

10:28 am

we had right on our side with the car accident and with the electricity company as well. But getting your right is sometimes more expensive than paying :(

I must say, sueing is not so common in the Netherlands as it is in the US of A. Not sure where the possibilities lie here.

Usually, lawyers here don't charge for an initial consultation. They want to know if they have a case before they give up their valuable time. Imagine it's much the same in other democratic societies.

hurshy

hey, i need to ask you guys something - particularly people who work in business

12:50 pm

hurshy

do you know any place to find a sort of guide as to what greetings and closings are considered more and less formal?

12:50 pm

hurshy

in a letter or email i mean?

12:50 pm

hurshy

i've googled but not come up with anything specific enough.

12:51 pm

Jacula

Dear Sir/Yours faithfully = formal Dear Mr. Bloggs/Yours sincerely = more informal.

12:51 pm

hurshy

But Jacula, what if addressing a group?

12:51 pm

Atalante

not if google isn't any help ... sorry

12:51 pm

Atalante

Sirs / Madams

12:52 pm

hurshy

I was chastised this morning for starting a message to a group of 3 people of various levels of importantness with Greetings rather than Good morning

12:52 pm

Jacula

Greetings Earthlings! Just kidding with that one, hursh.

12:52 pm

Atalante

Dear Sirs (and / or) Madams

12:52 pm

Atalante

I dont think I'd use Greetings, but that sounds like a US thing

12:53 pm

hurshy

I don't mind being formal if that's what is required, but what I want to know is, how the heck was I supposed to know that "Good morning" is more formal than "Greetings"?

12:53 pm

Jacula

No, we wouldn't use 'Greetings' as an opening line here in UK.

12:53 pm

hurshy

I think greetings sounds quite formal and grave, personally, and jen acted like it was so obvious what's formal and what's not and said something about how we were taught it in school

12:54 pm

CadFan

I would never sy greetings even in an informal business setting

12:54 pm

Atalante

Would Agatha Christie use Greetings?

12:54 pm

hurshy

if i was taught about that in school i don't remember it and SERIOUSLY, let's say you're a snobby rich person, are even YOU going to get offended because someone says "Greetings"?

12:54 pm

hurshy

i don't know, agatha christie never wrote me any letters

12:55 pm

hurshy

ok cadfan - so HOW DID YOU LEARN THAT?

12:55 pm

Atalante

I personally would think it odd, but again, I'm British

12:55 pm

hurshy

i need a guide, since clearly i have no conception of what people do.

12:56 pm

hurshy

and it's not like i didn't think about it. i thought about how to word it and i really had no idea there was anything wrong with "greetings". i am completely socially inept, apparently.

12:56 pm

Jacula

Hursh - seems to me they made a mountain out of a molehill.

12:57 pm

hurshy

well, they didn't fire me over it...

12:57 pm

hurshy

i just keep running into these types of problems!

12:58 pm

hurshy

first it was, everyone seemed to use "cheers" as a closing so i thought, that must be the favored yacht industry term, so i used it, but turns out it's ok for captains, but not for owners

12:58 pm

destitched, Jac?

1:00 pm

hurshy

the link thing is being mean

1:00 pm

Jacula

Hope those help, Hursh.

1:00 pm

CadFan

Honestly - I can't say how I "know" that - it's just too informal to me. I might say that personally but I'd never say it in a business setting.

1:00 pm

Jacula

Ata - Yes! Hooray. My nose is free.:)

1:00 pm

CadFan

Things in the past say - 10 years have gotten WAY more casual than when i first started working in the mid 1980's

1:00 pm

Jacula

Must go now - got a fish pie to make. BBL

1:00 pm

Atalante

woohooo! my back too

1:01 pm

Jacula

We're free, Ata! Yippee! See you later.

1:02 pm

hurshy

cadfan - this is what's driving me crazy - you "know" it and jen "knows" it and i just... don't, and i don't know what's wrong with me.

1:02 pm

bichon

on 5?

1:02 pm

Atalante

well unless you've been exposed to business situations, I dont see why you would automatically know

1:02 pm

CadFan

I did take Business writing in College - perhaps I picked it up there - or perhaps just by experience at work.

1:03 pm

flosey

back again - so many interruptions!

1:03 pm

flosey

could I please have a clue for er8/55, the second er8 word?

1:04 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon/evening all.

1:04 pm

hurshy

because jen "knows" it, it makes her think i'm either being too casual on purpose, or i'm really stupid. it's very frustrating.

1:04 pm

Atalante

well explain that you're still learning these things

1:04 pm

CadFan

It's certainly nothing I'd make a big deal of - I can tell you that.

1:05 pm

Haz1558

er8 - e, a dash of the pirate's drink, a helping of what contained fury is described as.

1:05 pm

bichon

on 5?

1:05 pm

Haz1558

Or, e, backside of an animal, rearrange the number after nine.

1:05 pm

hurshy

i do but i still feel so stupid. i don't want to upset a client...

1:05 pm

Atalante

wow, what a word

1:05 pm

Atalante

well then its best to say something and not upset another one in the future!

1:06 pm

Haz1558

on5 - on plus the ending put on stad to gladden the heart of the athletes.

1:06 pm

flosey

wow indeed, thanks Haz

1:06 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome!

1:07 pm

1:08 pm

Haz1558

Glad to help, bichon.

1:09 pm

kathw

hi, lu8 please

1:09 pm

PastorJ

Hurshy, didn't you recently move from another area? It's all complicated by regional jargon. You might explain that "greetings" would have been acceptable where you came from, and just ask for help in learning the regional language, or the language your clients expect, or whatever.

1:10 pm

Haz1558

lu8/60 - use all of the musical instrument, add two letters of the American Secret Service Agency, finish with the two letters of hesitation.

1:12 pm

kathw

ty, I'll work on it!

1:12 pm

pabtrek

im8 please

1:12 pm

Haz1558

im 8 is a skin disorder.

1:14 pm

pabtrek

think i need a little more help on that Haz

1:15 pm

Aloyisius

hi everyone.. logged in just in time to profit from Haz's awesome clues.. 14 to find

1:15 pm

Haz1558

im, a three lettered domesticated companion animal, then three letters that indicate a personal departure.

1:15 pm

hurshy

pastorj, i moved, yes, but only within new england, so it's not a regional thing.

1:15 pm

Haz1558

Hello Aloy - nice to see you.

1:16 pm

Aloyisius

ditto, Haz.. lovely here today - do you still have rain?

1:16 pm

kathw

duh, finally got there!

1:16 pm

hurshy

it's me... i'm so non-hierarchical, i just don't think about these things the way other people do. i have trouble relating to anyone on any basis other than as equals. if i am courteous and friendly, i find it hard to understand how someone could find it offensive, no matter how high their opinion of their own status.

1:16 pm

Haz1558

Yes, we have blinks of sunshine, then on it comes again.

1:16 pm

PastorJ

oh well, it was worth a shot! ;-> It does seem like someone was a little too anal about the choice of words.

1:17 pm

Haz1558

Glad it worked, kath. (I make you struggle, don't I?)

1:17 pm

kathw

It was a great clue, I was being thick

1:18 pm

hurshy

and i really don't mind learning, i just don't like being made to feel like i ought to have known already

1:18 pm

Haz1558

Not at all, I just don't like giving it away completely.

1:19 pm

rolin

i have er8 x2, im8, lu8, ..what am i missing pls?

1:19 pm

Merk

clue for the er 8,60 please

1:19 pm

Haz1558

hurshy - sometimes people are just unreasonable. It doesn't matter how much you try to understand, they are plain unreasonable. So smile, learn whatever lesson you can, and move on.

1:20 pm

pabtrek

thanks Haz

1:20 pm

CadFan

I could use another nudge on the lu8 - can't quite make the end...

1:20 pm

Haz1558

rolin, there's a word of enticement missing, te8

1:20 pm

hurshy

ty all, ttfn

1:20 pm

Atalante

I agree, hurshy dear

1:20 pm

rolin

*slap*...fish pls...ggrrr..

1:21 pm

Haz1558

lu8 - you've got the start, first two letters of the type of fruits represented by lemons, oranges, grapefruit, last two letters are those of shortened, affectionate mother.

1:21 pm

rolin

so why isnt mung accepted???

1:22 pm

rolin

pectin

1:22 pm

rolin

oopps...sorry

1:22 pm

Aloyisius

1:22 pm

Haz1558

er8/60 is the gerund ending for the belchy er5/14

1:22 pm

pabtrek

Haz1558

But add a vowel to the non-acceptable beans.

1:22 pm

Merk

Haz1558

lu6/24 - reach a nervous twitch by means of another vowel.

That's just sloppy typed that way Ata.

Hi Aloy, nice to see you even if you are just going.

1:41 pm

1:44 pm

periwinkle

hi there pink!

1:44 pm

Haz1558

Don't let it kill you. It's just the gerund/present participle stuck on a word that makes you want to do something (te5)

1:45 pm

FMitch

Haz that sounds like a great title for an ode to gnomes

1:45 pm

debjed

1:45 pm

Atalante

sounds like a trippy phase Beatles song title

1:45 pm

flosey

1:48 pm

Haz1558

Evanadine - you probably have the qu5 words (M). Some of the others relate to French for wall - or the beginning of a painted wall, if you're not familiar with the Fr.

1:49 pm

periwinkle

NM found it

1:49 pm

Haz1558

he6 - h, plus the French forerunner to cologne or toilette, then the beginning of 'Hail Fellow, well **t'

1:49 pm

EvaNadine

1:49 pm

periwinkle

great clue as always, Haz, but I found it in morewords, thanks though

1:50 pm

EvaNadine

oh, heh, i get it now...

1:50 pm

Haz1558

qu5 indicates that some things are soft in sound, therefore they could be mu4/6.

Atalante

you just need a spaniel. every babbler's best accessory

6:08 pm

evanonut

6:08 pm

Ogdens Nut

prefer a border collie actually; spaniels are too lugubrious

6:09 pm

Atalante

mine's quite unlugubrious really

6:11 pm

Ogdens Nut

maybe not all then, but is it as beautiful and intelligent as a border collie ?

6:11 pm

Atalante

well, I think so ... less manic, certainly

6:12 pm

moolingwa

afternoon all

6:12 pm

stidmama

6:13 pm

stidmama

hey moo! I have the shepher for your sheep!

6:14 pm

moolingwa

yeah, but my sheep is armed

6:14 pm

stidmama

that should read shepherD. obviously. we need a border collie over here to fix my spelling...

6:14 pm

Ogdens Nut

We had the most beautiful terrier-border collie cross when i was a child; I still miss that dog 30 years later...

6:14 pm

stidmama

hey nut -- we never talked about colors or anything for the babblecast icon...

6:14 pm

Atalante

my best friend has a border collie / heeler cross, and boy that dog is gorgeous

6:15 pm

stidmama

what is a heeler? would it behave better on walks? *innocent look as she tugs on shepherd's harness*

6:15 pm

Ogdens Nut

Whats a heeler Ata?

6:16 pm

Atalante

ermm ... maybe .... Australian cattle dog / blue heeler

6:16 pm

evanonut

oh stid...i'm thinking very very pink.

6:16 pm

evanonut

a heeler is what frans daughter needs

6:17 pm

Atalante

they are lovely dogs. stocky and big and very protective

6:17 pm

stidmama

why does "noire" count and "nuit" doesn't? tres tres mauvais avec! LOL

6:17 pm

stidmama

pink it is then! :-)

6:18 pm

evanonut

wahoo...order of the pink pirates rules again

6:19 pm

lovejoy

is there an easy way to enter words from lickety's clue page into the word list?

6:20 pm

stidmama

yes lovejoy, there is a "bulk" add feature at the bottom of that page

6:20 pm

stidmama

there are instructions, too (somewhere around there)

6:20 pm

lovejoy

yeah stid, I got them all on my clipboard, i just dont know how to get them into my list from there

6:20 pm

evanonut

who are we that we need instructions...?

6:21 pm

stidmama

even easier, of course, is using the "Lickety Browser" which operates nicely on windows machines

6:21 pm

lovejoy

ah ha, very nice, thanks for the tip :)

6:21 pm

stidmama

do you know how to do a "paste"? I think it's hold down the control key + V and past them into the "add word" box under the grid

6:24 pm

lovejoy

can i paste more than one in there?

6:24 pm

Atalante

there's a go5/14, what's the stats for the other 5?

6:24 pm

stidmama

yes, hold on a sec and I will take a quick look

6:25 pm

lovejoy

you rock

6:26 pm

stidmama

at the bottom of lickety's page (the VERY VERY bottom) is a Bulk Grab feature, with two buttons. First click the one on the left, then the one on the right.

6:26 pm

stidmama

THEN you can do the ctrl-V and paste it into the babble add word box. I think. It's been a while since I did thing that way.

6:29 pm

Ogdens Nut

A blonde goes into a coffee shop and notices there's
a "peel and win" sticker on her coffee cup.
So she peels it off and starts screaming,
've won a motorhome!
I've won a motorhome!"
The waitress says, "That's impossible.
The biggest prize is a free Lunch.?"
But the blonde keeps on screaming,
"I've won a motorhome!
I've won a motorhome!"
Finally, the manager comes over and says,
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but you're mistaken.
You couldn't have possibly won a motorhome
because we didn't have that as a prize.
The blonde says, "No, it's not a mistake.
I've won a motorhome!"
And she hands the ticket to the
manager and HE reads... (wait for it...)
