9:07 am

hurshy

9:08 am

hurshy

hopefully tomorrow will be better

9:09 am

Scrabbler

I agree. But I do have lots to accomplish this weekend.

9:09 am

mom23

9:10 am

featherbee

i'm thrilled with the grid size! :)

9:10 am

Scrabbler

I am looking for you & me, mom23.

9:10 am

Scrabbler

hah, featherbee, you can finish this in one breastfeeding session.

9:11 am

featherbee

well, no, cause then i only have one hand, which slows me down! he's napping in hte bouncer right now, so i'm going to pound out as many as i can

9:11 am

mom23

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Don't you love the way newborns smell?

9:12 am

joanne0334

ty scrab

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Elmer Fudd is disappointed that "wosy" is not a word--as in the wose flowers smell wosy.

9:14 am

joanne0334

lol

9:14 am

hurshy

'parently they never heard of a mosh pit

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I tried mosh as well--DENIED!

9:15 am

Raevyn

I noticed that one too...which disappointed me, because it also eliminated the potential for "moshy" lol

9:15 am

Scrabbler

And the skin condition, ra4, cannot be made into an adj either.

9:16 am

Raevyn

well, that's probably for the best...I'm not sure I'd want to think too much about that as an adjective lol

9:16 am

hurshy

the dreaded 14... not that it means much...

9:17 am

joso

hi all

9:18 am

Raevyn

I'm shocked that I didn't notice si4/4 right off though...course, if this had been tomorrow's puzzle, maybe I'd have caught it ;)

9:19 am

featherbee

aren't mohs something science-y?

9:19 am

mom23

hurshy

9:20 am

featherbee

9:20 am

Vicuna

Stuff. Nothing useful, admittedly, but Stuff.

9:21 am

featherbee

oh man. doug's going to do an errand, and he said "burb" as he was leaving. as in brb.

9:21 am

hurshy

oh please, let's not start a useless knowledge competition, cause you know i'd cream you.

9:22 am

Vicuna

Well, the problem with a useless knowledge competition is that one man's useless knowledge is another man's vital wisdom.

9:22 am

magzel

hi all. don't get the ra 5 clue. don't know about the high tile

9:22 am

hurshy

geology is CLEARLY usefuller than animaniacs songs

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Ooh, trash talking between Hurshy & Vicuna now.

9:23 am

Vicuna

Well, I'll agree with you there, hursh!

9:23 am

Scrabbler

mom23

9:36 am

hurshy

Scrabbler

I am now nauseated with the image of J-Simpson.

10:04 am

Raevyn

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I readily understood the moron clue, as I specialize in being a doofus.

10:12 am

Raevyn

lol...well, everyone needs a hobby, I guess ;)

10:12 am

Scrabbler

I must speak with Nut about the latest Babblecast. I did NOT tell her to spray her yellow jacket colony.

10:13 am

Scrabbler

LOL, raevyn--I am quite the goofball and my friends love me for it.

10:13 am

featherbee

i need to catch up on the casts.

Scrabbler

The Babblecast site has changed--new longer podcasts now!

10:14 am

joso

Scrabbler

Yahooo Doren! I left when you were on the phone with your son.

10:17 am

joso

yipee dorens

10:17 am

Scrabbler

Yippee Doren! You're clearly not dull-witted!

10:17 am

Dorens

yes,, scrabs. he is the one who flunked out of school years ago and is now going to harvard extension school.... called very excited about his scholarhip/loan package

10:17 am

Scrabbler

And, feather, you need to pl that ridiculous ho4!

10:17 am

featherbee

yep, done already

10:17 am

Scrabbler

Great for him, Doren!

10:18 am

Scrabbler

So there is hope for my 17 yr old nephew that is a high school drop-out?

10:18 am

Dorens

yup -- he is my middle child ! in spades (brilliant, talented older brother and breathakiingly beautiful little sister -- but he is the best and sweetest, and of course no slouch with brains either)

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Hey, no Lickety video today!

10:18 am

Dorens

no? well, I'll dance for you

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Yes, this middle nephew is the brightest of the 3, but a sad, lost, angry boy.

10:19 am

Dorens

and yes there is great hope for your nephew. he needs to get a great girlfriend (which is what David did...she is a HS englishs teacher)

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Put on your tap shoes, Doren.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

I worry terribly about my 3 nephews--alcoholic Dad, overwhelmed Mom.

10:20 am

Dorens

and she is the one who found babble, showed him, they told me and the rest if history. He won't chat or use list.... thinks that's cheating. he prefers playing scrabble and getting 500 points... uses all 7 letters at least once each game

10:20 am

Dorens

oh, alcoholic dad puts extra trouble in the mix

10:20 am

Dorens

do they live near you scrabs?

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Good for him, and her!

10:21 am

Scrabbler

It is quite complicated, Doren.

10:21 am

featherbee

wow, down to 7, no list and avoiding watching chat clues

10:22 am

Dorens

see a lot of that in my job.... kids need a good adult they can open up to

10:22 am

Dorens

go feather!

10:23 am

Scrabbler

Come on, feather, you can do it, but will need a monkey for a few words.

10:24 am

featherbee

yeah, still sitting at 7 now

10:24 am

featherbee

not going to ask for clues, these 7 could conceivably last me all day

10:26 am

Scrabbler

I think I know what digital camera I am going to get..Canon Powershot A560--anyone have it, or other recommedations?

10:27 am

featherbee

don't know, but you can check www.cnet.com for good reviews

10:27 am

featherbee

mine is a digital slr, so i don't know about the others

10:28 am

Scrabbler

Feather, I got help from the chat, but did not use the list.

10:28 am

Scrabbler

I went to CNET and got advice. I love that site!

10:29 am

featherbee

getting ready for lunch time. i'll sit and pick at the last 7 while nursing!

10:29 am

featherbee

i know, it's a very good tech review site

10:29 am

Scrabbler

With kids the SLR cameras are the way to go, but I want to spend < $150.

10:29 am

featherbee

yep, no way to do that with slr!

10:31 am

Scrabbler

My existing memory card--will it fit in my new camera, or are there different sizes? (My current camera landed in the lake at the ADK's)

10:31 am

Scrabbler

My memory card is intact with pics, fortunately!

10:31 am

featherbee

there are different kinds, SD, compact flash, and a couple others

10:32 am

the Duck

Memory Cards are fantastically resilient... I've put several through the wash before... on more than one occasion :P

10:33 am

Scrabbler

I am so lucky! The pics I took on vacation were on there, and my old ones are on the PC. But, the one I have, will it work in a new camera, or do they come in different sizes for different cameras?

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I have an SD, 512MB.

10:33 am

the Duck

There's about 4 common types of memory card... SD being the most common.

10:34 am

the Duck

Then probably 80% of the cameras on the market will use it Scrabbler :)

10:35 am

the Duck

Fuji uses the xD cards almost exclusively.. same with sony and MemoryStick, or Kodak and CompactFlash. Almost everyone else uses SD.

10:35 am

the Duck

Fuji uses the xD cards almost exclusively.. same with sony and MemoryStick, or Kodak and CompactFlash. Almost everyone else uses SD.

10:35 am

Scrabbler

I am looking at the Canon Powershot A560--looks good for my needs and $.

10:37 am

the Duck

You're safe... it takes an SD card :)

10:38 am

the Duck

All Canons and Panasonics do, I believe

10:39 am

Scrabbler

OK, thanks, Duck. I have been checking around for details and couldn't find that answer. 512MB is actually a small card these days.

10:40 am

the Duck

Aye, but still quite useful in a camera :) When you're recording video, not so much... but 512 still holds a whopping amount of photos.

10:42 am

Scrabbler

OK, I am reviewing memory cards after a Google search....I have learned a lot, TY, Duck.

10:43 am

the Duck

NP :) *adjusts his King Geek crown slightly*

10:43 am

Scrabbler

I bought a $90 5 MP Oregon Scientific camera in 6/06 that was on sale--very impulsively, so I had not done any research.

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Hey, have you takedn the Nerd/Dork/Geek test yet--go to http://www.okcupid.com/tests/993503099
0046738815/Nerd-Geek-or-Dork-

10:44 am

the Duck

In all honesty, I've never been much of a fan of reading about a camera to make a buying decision.. I usually go into Radio Shack and play with them.. make sure it's comfortable in your hand.. make sure the controls and on-screen menu actually make sense... and of course, make sure it takes decent photos :P

10:45 am

the Duck

I haven't been a member of okcupid in ages... heh

10:45 am

Scrabbler

I am 92% nerd, 50% geek and 20% dork.

26. Do you own any seasons of television shows on tape/disc? .... Who the heck doesnt!?

10:50 am

Buttonman

that is good...this is the best I have done without the list

10:50 am

yahoo Buttonman!

10:50 am

the Duck

... did I just stutter? :P

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nut--I just took the test again--82 % nerd, 21% geek, and 47% dork. And I am quite proud of my scores, in fact, disappointed that I didn't score higher on the nerd portion.

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Your PC sputtered, Duck, but you didn't.

10:51 am

evanonut

i'm so dork, the dorks are jealous

10:52 am

Scrabbler

Nut, when did I tell you to spray your yellow jacket colony? I listened to Episode 11 and I believe that I was falsey accused of trying to place you in danger.

10:52 am

Scrabbler

LOL, Nut--I am so proud of your dorkiness!

10:53 am

evanonut

welp scrabs...i can't be 100 percent sure i gues...but i'm pretty sure.

10:53 am

evanonut

course...its ren i gotta worry about anyway

10:54 am

evanonut

i'm sitting here patiently waiting for episode 13 to successfully upload

10:55 am

the Duck

For the record... 56 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 21% Dork

10:55 am

the Duck

I am a well balanced Nerd/Geek hybrid :P

10:56 am

Scrabbler

Very balanced, Duck!

10:57 am

evanonut

guess i'm imbalanced

10:58 am

toadandtoadette

I still maintain I am more Geek than Nerd though.. I must have answered something wrong ;)

11:00 am

evanonut

11:00 am

the Duck

It seems I'm being summoned away for several hours... 28 down, 28 to go... have a great day everyone :)

11:00 am

featherbee

no, once they turn 2 or 3ish you can sleep pretty regularly...until you get the silly idea to have another and start all over again!

11:00 am

evanonut

i sent a lot of cookies there.

11:00 am

evanonut

Good morning all you geeks, nerds, and dorks. I'm just back after a week of entertaining grandchildren and I haven't a clue where I am in Babbleland--IS this babbleland today?

11:01 am

featherbee

did you know that in sleep research, "sleeping through the night" means from midnight to 5am?

11:01 am

toadandtoadette

I go about 2 days sleeping not at all, but then have one day of really good sleep. that was last night. we'll see how late I am up tonight. Couple of nights ago I didn't go to bed until 330... and with Simon not even here yet... ugh

11:02 am

evanonut

oh dear, i never sleep through the night then.

11:02 am

featherbee

yeah, i'd wake up around 3am to pee that last month and not be able to go back to sleep for an hour or so

1:36 pm

gwenski

Sometimes a grid is filled with 'normal' words, and other times very strange/unusual words. Dictionary.com doesn't even recognize this one, so don't fell bad.

1:36 pm

Jellen

That was the problem, F.B.S. Many of the words you see here won't be words you know. Lots won't be in a regular dictionary.

1:37 pm

F.B.S.

ok thanks

1:37 pm

Jellen

1:54 pm

Jellen

1:54 pm

1:55 pm

Jellen

mo4/5 ground and rock cover and its adjective form?

1:55 pm
