mind over matter :)

4:04 am

To do my hard drve copy - from a 10 year old hard drive to a 1 day old hard drive I had to use a computer that hasn't been switched on for 1 year - And it didn't like being woken!

5:29 am

carleekat

Night mrp - see you soon

5:29 am

carleekat

5:30 am

licketySplitAUS

With the hard drive copy it then felt like a dominatrix thing - all this master and slave swapping.

5:31 am

licketySplitAUS

I was playing with dip switches and IDE cables and power cables, and auto detect drive settings, and even gave up on that computer - and tried another - another 15 goes and I got it

5:32 am

carleekat

woohoo for u ...

5:32 am

licketySplitAUS

And all the DUST!

5:32 am

carleekat

5:32 am

carleekat

yeap...canned air will take care of that

5:33 am

licketySplitAUS

Yeah - when I first turned it on - I got a morse code of beeps - which must have said = "Why the Frak did you wake me up?"

5:33 am

Hi bf!

9:17 am

bfsog

9:18 am

MonkeyGames

The first 45 or so are. Then it's a little bit of a hunt but nothing bizarre (unless it's in my last 9).

9:18 am

bfsog

my 14 have been easy lol

9:19 am

MonkeyGames

I was on earlier after the orthopedist and the cardiologist, that's why I have more words than you.

9:28 am

MonkeyGames

Walter discovered just now I'm wearing a Holter monitor (probably nothing going on, says cardiologist, but worth checking out for peace of mind), and I told him not to bump th ewires. I said I have to wear this for one day. He said very seriously, "OK, mama. Today?"

9:30 am

MonkeyGames

My kitty is asleep on Walter's basket trying to ignore that he's creeping up on her saying, "Kitty cat, I want to pet you nicely..." In my icon you can see my dog; Walter took that picture, pretty good for 4 yars old I think.

9:49 am

MonkeyGames

We got our cat when we lived in a tiny, tiny Amsterdam apartmnet WAY high up. That was about 7 years ago. When we finally moved somewhere dog-worthy I was pregnant, so we got a Dane-- they're fabulous with kids.

9:49 am

MonkeyGames

You know, Carlee, I'm not sure! IT was through a Google search back when the icon theme was thank you.

9:51 am

carleekat

ahhhh..ok..wondered... I've never heard sah ha as thank you at any time when have worked at the mosque with ahost of diff arab nations working in the kitchen

9:51 am

9:52 am

carleekat

MonkeyGames

Hi Harp!

howdy again all,just dropping on for 10 min before i have to shovel the car out! foot of snow last night and snowing like heck again!

10:05 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Crossy!!!

10:05 am

crosshair

howdy mg:)

10:07 am

Deeha

Love your logo Crosshair, I love wolves - but then I dont live in a country where I come across them often!!

10:08 am

crosshair

darn..snowing so hard i just lost sight of the houses across the road..this drive in will be interesting:(....ty dee my wife does a tad of shamanism and tell me that the wolf is my familliar and guardian

10:09 am

Deeha

Like one of those myself!!

10:09 am

crosshair

we get full size timer wolves in algonquin park 3 hours north of me;)

10:09 am

MonkeyGames

We have wolves here. They were released several years ago into the dunelands just behind our neighborhood to keep the deer under control as in the olden days. They're very secretive; only the rangers ever see them.

10:09 am

crosshair

timber even

10:10 am

crosshair

well i better dig out the parka tc everyone and happy babbling!

10:10 am

harpjane

algonquin park, is that ontario?

10:10 am

crosshair

yes it is harp

10:10 am

MonkeyGames

Bye Crossy!

10:10 am

crosshair

poof

10:10 am

Deeha

Have you read the Nicholas Smith (HorseWhuisperer man) book about wolves? I sat on a train and cried over how they were exterminated in places

10:10 am

harpjane

we don't have any snow yet

10:11 am

harpjane

The Loop, it was very sad and actually made me sick

10:11 am

MonkeyGames

I haven't read it, no. I'll put on my list to get when I can! Thanks for the tip.

10:11 am

harpjane

part of the story line was when a wolf attacked a child and that is almost unheard of in reality

10:12 am

harpjane

I'm afraid it just perpetuates the myth of wolves being vicious

10:12 am

MonkeyGames

It sure is. Sometimes in very, very rural places during famine times if a child is wandering alone in th emiddle of nowhere it does happen.

10:12 am

harpjane

stir

10:12 am

Judi

Harrumph. I was so rudely interrupted.

10:12 am

harpjane

oops sorry

10:13 am

MonkeyGames

I hate the popular image of wolves as vicious. Depresses me.

10:13 am

MonkeyGames

Hi again Judi.

10:13 am

harpjane

there is not a single case of a non-rabid wolf attacking a human in North America

10:14 am

MonkeyGames

I would believe that. I have heard of it in India and Ethiopia but that was hearsay stories and they referred to incidents more than 100 years ago.

10:15 am

Judi

Wolves are gorgeous. Who would say such terrible things about wolves?

10:15 am

Deeha

I always heard that there was never any proof anywhere in the world that wolves had attacxked humans. Mind you there are one or two I'd throw to them...............!!!!

10:16 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, the two incidents I heard abour do NOT count as proof! And so many peopla are attacked every year by domestic dogs I just wish people would get a grip.

10:17 am

MonkeyGames

And bye me-- must off to do some actual housework. Was waiting for my back to calm down but it's not going to, I guess.

10:17 am

Deeha

Right and often by family pets

10:18 am

Judi

I have dated a few wolves in my life. (suppose that doesn't count).

10:18 am

Uneaixoise

good website on the subject of wolves and humans: http://tinyurl.com/6gprgh

10:18 am

harpjane

we have many more incidents of neighborhood dogs killing sheep than we do of wolves

10:19 am

harpjane

a wolf is going to "imprint" on a food source at a young age. unless someone teaches it that humans are edible, they won't try to eat us

10:19 am

harpjane

however, they may huff and puff and blow our houses down!

10:21 am

rururocks

***buys Huf & puff house insurance ***

10:22 am

harpjane

lolruru

10:24 am

Deeha

its like all insurance companies you THINK you are covered for Huff & Puff but when it comes to claiming on it..................!!!

10:25 am

rururocks

yeah you were covered for puffing... but huffing wasn't allowed

10:25 am

Judi

I think they only pay out if the whole house blows down. Must read the fine print.

10:26 am

harpjane

and the President has to declare a Huffnpuff emergency before you can buy the insurance!

10:26 am

rururocks

Yeah... and I was all the way way way to the market

10:27 am

harpjane

ten to go, think I"ll save the fun for tonight!

Crumble thinks her throat has been cut as her food is taken up after meal time so she can't eat all day. She has started to lick the bowl clean on feeding now

11:48 am

KatieMcG

Lord knows how bad it would have been if she was the one that had needed starving for 24 hours!!

11:48 am

Atalante

I put up a card table and the little child-sized table that I and then my kids sat at when they were quite small...

12:33 pm

Trifioso

Monkey - are you the dad?

12:33 pm

FMitch

Haz!!!!!

12:33 pm

caitlyn

Hi Haz

12:33 pm

Haz1558

Hello hello!

12:33 pm

gapeach

Scarydeb, no4-4 + not stop.

12:34 pm

FMitch

How was the WI?

12:34 pm

Vicuna

ANd I was trying to figure out how to divide us, three at each table so that it wouldn't be unequal with 4 and 2. And that's all there was.

12:34 pm

MonkeyGames

Cool dream! Two nights ago I dreamed that we all got to go up on the space shuttle to spend two weeks on the space hotel... Nicest dream I've had ina while.

12:34 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Haz!

12:34 pm

Haz1558

I haven't been yet!

12:34 pm

MonkeyGames

I'm the mom, tri.

12:34 pm

Vicuna

I can't say why, caitlyn! Maybe you were invited and declined! lol

12:34 pm

Haz1558

I'm calming my nerves before I set off.

12:34 pm

FMitch

lol sorry

12:34 pm

Vicuna

But I also have no idea why jacula, whom I never chat with, since we're never even on at the same time.

12:35 pm

gapeach

Tri, I have the fu6, need the top one. Thanks

12:35 pm

FMitch

Oh you will be brill dear

12:35 pm

garyandjulie

good luck haz

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Haz, you'll be fab! But I have missed at what...

12:35 pm

scarydeb

ty gapeach, i'm still stuck on the 1st one

12:35 pm

Atalante

ooo evening meeting! when does it start, Haz?

12:35 pm

Trifioso

hmmmm. I wonder then...sounds like your basic separation dream, and feeling worried that the person who ususally keeps him safe wouldn't be able too. Pretty normal for kiddos, esp in light of Nemo, where the dad is pretty stifling

12:35 pm

Haz1558

They can't kill me. I keep telling myself that.

12:35 pm

Vicuna

Haz, what are you calming your nerves to be brilliant for?

12:35 pm

caitlyn

I have to go just as everyone is coming in.....I will see you all tomorrow, bye
LOL Vi.I will come next time ......now a definate bye all

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Peach, you need teh fold-up bed.

12:35 pm

Haz1558

It starts at 8.00, I'm leaving in about 10 minutes.

12:35 pm

FMitch

Byee cait

12:35 pm

garyandjulie

12:35 pm

scarydeb

thats the 1st gu6

12:36 pm

Vicuna

Bye, caitlyn!

12:36 pm

garyandjulie

will be thinking of you haz, am sure you will do great

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Scary, you need the ship part.

12:36 pm

Haz1558

Vi, I'm doing a demo at a local Woman's Institute - table settings and starters for Christmas.

12:36 pm

Vicuna

Oh, I thought you'd done that already. You must have done something else before. Gosh, I can't even keep up with you!

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, lovely, Haz. You'll be fine. You'll blow them away! Hands down.

12:37 pm

Atalante

will there be lots of sparkles and glitter?

12:37 pm

gapeach

scary, the no4-4 is the opposite of some.

12:37 pm

Haz1558

Yesterday was the lunch for 8. No poisoning reported.

12:37 pm

FMitch

No she is leaving Spangle at home!

12:37 pm

Haz1558

Not too much sparkle. I'm very restrained in that regard!

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, that IS good news, Haz!

12:37 pm

Vicuna

Oh, I must have confused the two. No poisoning is always good. As for tonight, you'll be miles better than Martha Stewart and start a whole new craze, and I'll be able to say "I knew her when..."

12:37 pm

Atalante

spangle would look great as a table setting!

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

The no poisoning part.

12:37 pm

garyandjulie

i prefer natural and simple myself

12:37 pm

Haz1558

Of course, maybe they've been too ill to report.

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

ys what I aim for, anyway.

12:38 pm

scarydeb

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

Alwa went missing there...

You'll be starting your own line of decor and starters in no time.

12:39 pm

garyandjulie

Trifioso how are you getting on?

12:39 pm

FMitch

Just remember to breathe and smile - you'll be great!

12:39 pm

Trifioso

managing. The J in this grid is useless, right?

12:39 pm

Atalante

will there be any travellers there? *fascination with the idea of traveller table settings*

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, J useless.

12:40 pm

Haz1558

Yes, breathe, smile and suck in the stomach.

nice easy grid today but the monkey fooled me for a while

12:52 pm

garyandjulie

anyone need any clues before I go and bath my son?

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Ummm... hope so, Trif, but the link as I copied it ahs led me to a reference to Sor Juana or The Breath of Life...

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Suppose I cvould just do my own Google search. Revolutionary, I know, but hey, roll with the times...

12:54 pm

MonkeyGames

Might I say by the way that Trifioso is a cool screen name. But now my music track is jammed on "triffic, really triffic..."

12:54 pm

Trifioso

julie -I am stuck on the GE 4

12:55 pm

MonkeyGames

ge4: like species but less specific, minus last letter

12:55 pm

garyandjulie

if something is real it is ge**ine

12:55 pm

Trifioso

MonkeyGames

Or Trevor, Fiona, and... ummm... Sonorra?

12:57 pm

Trifioso

NO NO! I did realize that after I wrote it.....first letters , plural....a few letters from each name. But maybe I should just let you all go on thinking I am some uber mom....hey! Fiona is RIGHT!!! WEll done you!

12:57 pm

garyandjulie

ok 3 lol i have 3 to 18,15 and 6 years old

12:57 pm

Walter (my four year old) is a big Shrek fan.

12:58 pm

MonkeyGames

You the dad or the mom, Trif?

12:58 pm

garyandjulie

my 6 year old its power rangers atm, thought i escaped them when my now 15 year old got over them!

12:58 pm

Trifioso

Yes, well, we had it first! Thought Shrek has been mostly helpful now, as people could NOT wrap their heads around it for the longest time. And we will not even discuss the spellings!

12:58 pm

garyandjulie

shrek is cool but how many times have you watched the films now?

12:59 pm

Trifioso

And right now I guess I am the mom and the dad, since the DH did a runner....

12:59 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, understood. Nobody in the Netherlands could spell my realname until I accidentally devasted New Orleans. They finally name one after me and that happnes. Sheesh.

12:59 pm

garyandjulie

i always found at that age they can watch these things over and over and I know most disney films word for word now

1:00 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, I'm so sorry, Trif!

1:00 pm

Trifioso

I am more up on "in the great green room, there was a telephone....." somethings you just never forget!

1:00 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, how many times... well, you understand. Not to mention Roger Rabbit. Must be upinto the 1000's by now.

1:00 pm

garyandjulie

its hard trif, i'm a single mum now to

1:00 pm

1:06 pm

Trifioso

my stepmother was CONVINCED she named my bro "Brain" because they made her fill out the forms while she was still gorky. But she had actually did it right, and "Brian" he remains!

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Good thing too! We had a kid in my 6th grade class named Brian Allen, and we all called him Brain Alien, though.

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

Betetr than what they called me though.

1:07 pm

Trifioso

LOL!!! That is so mean!

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

I repeat, better than what they called me. But anyway, he was popular so it didn't take.

1:08 pm

MonkeyGames

Nonetheless I agree.

1:08 pm

Trifioso

this was a rather peculiar grid

5:01 pm

squidgy82000

night all

5:01 pm

tygerbryght

kind of a fun one, though

5:01 pm

tygerbryght

sweet dreams

5:01 pm

tygerbryght

5:04 pm

tygerbryght

hmmm. guess I'm the only one here

you're a sadist, turtle!

5:04 pm

redturtlehead

en6 to take service in the army (for example)

5:05 pm

redturtlehead

No Tyger, i have the day off! So I want to not finish babble in one hour!

5:05 pm

tinyg0dz

thank you! this may be my first fireworks! 12 to go!

5:05 pm

tygerbryght

5:06 pm

tygerbryght

well, if it's anything over 200, I"m probably not going to do it

5:06 pm

redturtlehead

go tiny go, but stay nad finish!

5:06 pm

tygerbryght

I will DEFINITELY not do any grid over 300

5:06 pm

tygerbryght

I did the 599 grid, just to prove to myself I could do it, but ... never again

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

but those are the most fun tyger...

5:07 pm

tygerbryght

I'm too slow for that stuff

5:07 pm

tygerbryght

for you, maybe, turtle

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

they are not fun on work days...because i never finish on work days.

5:08 pm

tygerbryght

I won't enter words here unless I've finished - or know that I can, with a bit of help, when Lickety's not around

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

I ish I could have switched this grid with yesterdays...I couldnt finish yesterday.

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

but lickety was here earlier and is up and runnin.

5:08 pm

tygerbryght

you're not the only one!!!!!!!

5:08 pm

tygerbryght

I did finish yesterday, but it was grueling

5:09 pm

tygerbryght

yes, I know. I used it this morning to finish off. one of the words I didn't have was the big-nosed monkey

5:09 pm

redturtlehead

the gu?

5:09 pm

tygerbryght

yes, gu6

5:09 pm

tygerbryght

IOW, if I'm not within 10 words of the total, and there's no Lickety, I won't even enter the words here

5:10 pm

redturtlehead

I just hate it when my stats tank, even though frankly no one cares...

5:10 pm

tygerbryght

I just quit

5:11 pm

redturtlehead

I alays figure i win some, and lose some...

5:11 pm

tygerbryght

back last spring - or maybe it was late winter - I was only 2 words from having a big grid uploaded when time ran out. it wrecked my score on the "hot"list. I refuse to allow that to happen again

5:11 pm

tygerbryght

yes, I'm down some points in that column for the grids I don't upload, but not nearly as much as for an incomplete upload

5:12 pm

tygerbryght

I'm not too competitive with other people, but I have high standards for my own performance

5:12 pm

redturtlehead

yes, this is why i am always sort of lower in the lists....

5:12 pm

pianoman

gu6 rhymes with the Lincoln Tu6 to get to NYC.

5:12 pm

tygerbryght

I was either at 1030, or very close, and it knocked me down about 20 points

5:12 pm

redturtlehead

but i dont mind...

5:12 pm

tygerbryght

that was *painful*

5:13 pm

redturtlehead

hi Pianoman.

5:13 pm

tygerbryght

yes, piano, one of them. :)

5:13 pm

tygerbryght

the other is a big-nosed S. American monkey

5:13 pm

tinyg0dz

only 5 to go! I'm still missing the first fl 5 16 and the fl 6 27. any help please?

5:13 pm

pianoman

I had no idea there were 2 gu6's. I could be here all night.

5:14 pm

tygerbryght

the gu6 you clued is either a fish, or an alt spelling of a part of a ship

5:14 pm

pianoman

Hi red.

5:14 pm

tygerbryght

1st fl5/16: a butterfly fl5 from flower to flower

5:14 pm

tygerbryght

howarya, piano?

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

Piano, I seriously doubt you will be here all night. the grid is quite a bit shorter than normal.

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

Whats ne Piano?

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

new

5:14 pm

tinyg0dz

oh..i have that fl..so I guess the second one?

5:15 pm

pianoman

Can't imagine a second gu6.

5:15 pm

tygerbryght

fl6/27: at parties, a guy fl6 with the prettiest girl he can find

5:15 pm

tygerbryght

do you want a clue?

5:15 pm

pianoman

Why won't it take flugel as in flugel horn in a brass band.

5:15 pm

redturtlehead

Piano its a big nosed monkey.

5:15 pm

tinyg0dz

thank you! only 3 left!

5:15 pm

tygerbryght

because the word isn't in the Enable word list

5:15 pm

tygerbryght

yw, tiny

5:16 pm

tygerbryght

and, of course, there are "words" in Enable that aren't in any dictionary

5:17 pm

tygerbryght

but flugel is in the dictionaries as a grand piano or harpsichord

5:17 pm

redturtlehead

Enable is like some dictionary with anemia.

5:17 pm

tygerbryght

I suspect that the horn has a slightly different spelling - maybe with another vowel? :)

5:18 pm

tygerbryght

I did a little search, and apparently it's one word, not two: flugelhorn

5:18 pm

tygerbryght

or fluegelhorn

5:19 pm

tygerbryght

I tried fluegel, and that's when it popped up - in wikipedia

5:19 pm

tygerbryght

because the word is German, and has an umlaut over the U

5:19 pm

tinyg0dz

I just got my first fireworks! Maybe someday I can get one that's more than 100 words!

5:19 pm

tygerbryght

yay, tiny!! that's so great! :D

5:19 pm

tinyg0dz

What a sense of accomplishment! Thank you for all your help.

5:20 pm

tygerbryght

this will do good things for your scores. check this time tomorrow

5:20 pm

do you need help to put something up?

5:22 pm

tygerbryght

it's not hard

5:22 pm

tinyg0dz

I will look for something...I rarely post unless I have questions. I don't usually have much to add in the way of clues.

5:23 pm

tinyg0dz

If I navigate away from this page will the fireworks be here when I get back?

5:23 pm

tygerbryght

that's okay. and remember, if you need help, speak up and ask for clues. most people here will help, gladly

5:23 pm

tygerbryght

no, tiny, I don't think so

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

No tiny they will go away...but you can get them again manana

5:24 pm

tygerbryght

you're so delighted you don't want to lose it? :) I do understand

5:24 pm

tinyg0dz

oh, i doubt that. well, I'll wait to put up a picture until later then. I want to show my boyfriend when he gets home!

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

5:25 pm

tygerbryght

5:25 pm

kje

5:25 pm

tygerbryght

5:26 pm

kje

5:26 pm

kje

AFAIK?

5:26 pm

5:27 pm

kje

5:27 pm

tygerbryght

kje, would you like a link to a page with a list of those things?

5:27 pm

redturtlehead

I have yet to be an adopter of the text messaging trend...i feel old.

5:28 pm

tinyg0dz

okay, I added a picture, but I don't know if I need to refresh for it to be visible.

5:28 pm

kje

OMG, red.... i love texting! it is a natural extension of what we did in residency really

5:28 pm

tygerbryght

I useta use Messenger, but stopped several years ago. I don't miss it

5:28 pm

tygerbryght

5:28 pm

tygerbryght

I can see it :)

5:28 pm

tinyg0dz

oh, there it is! hurray! it's a day filled with babble firsts!

5:29 pm

kje

5:29 pm

tygerbryght

yay, tiny! I'm proud of you

5:29 pm

kje

5:30 pm

tygerbryght

Is Austin a bike-friendly city?

5:30 pm

tinyg0dz

not as much as I hear Portland is..but it's getting better.

5:31 pm

tygerbryght

I just realized - I forgot to have my afternoon snack & pills :sigh: back soon

5:31 pm

tinyg0dz

there's a growing number of cyclists though, and that helps drivers get used to us at least.

5:31 pm

kje

bye tyger.. i am off also... should see if i can get my tire repaired on the way home

5:31 pm

tygerbryght

that's good. I figured that you wouldn't put up a bike if you didn't like to ride :)

5:31 pm

kje

woohoo again tiny!!!

5:31 pm

tinyg0dz

5:56 pm

tabbycat

Thanks Samantha

5:56 pm

SamanthaJoy

That's not a typo; it's a small grid

5:57 pm

tabbycat

I figured it must be...I have 30 so far

5:58 pm

SamanthaJoy

I have 42 and I am stuck like a minivan in the mud

6:01 pm

SamanthaJoy

It would probably help if I would stop typing in "tongue"

6:01 pm

tabbycat

Yep...that's my phantom word tonight too.

6:02 pm

tabbycat

Well, time to go see about dinner. Be back later on maybe.

6:02 pm

SamanthaJoy

The Gs. are killing me. I have two of them and I'm beginning to doubt that there are any more, regardless of what teh grid says

6:02 pm

SamanthaJoy

Good night

6:11 pm

JBV

hi, inge, I'm here - briefly - how are you?

6:11 pm

JBV

this was a tiny grid today - finished much earlier

6:11 pm

inge

Yes we did get snow past night and everything wa coverd with a beautiful sticky white planet

6:12 pm

inge

I meant blanket, but planet is not bad either

6:13 pm

inge

I wrote a thank you note to lickety for coming back with clues

6:17 pm

inge

Auf Wiedersehn. Bis spÃ¤ter.

6:17 pm

tygerbryght

checked back. that was a lovely idea, inge. I may copy it. we all depend on him so much, though for many it's indirect, as they look to us who do use it for clues

6:18 pm

tygerbryght

the snow sounds beautiful, inge. where was it they got the 2 feet?

6:18 pm

inge

no two feet hree. I bet Scrabbler got a lot in upstate New York.

6:19 pm

Jindigo

evening all!

6:19 pm

tygerbryght

hey, jin

6:20 pm

inge

Hi, Jindigo

6:20 pm

tygerbryght

is scrabbler that near Lake Erie? I've never learned just where she is - the Adirondacks are kinda big :D

6:20 pm

Jindigo

Hey Tyger & Inge

6:21 pm

inge

I think her hospital is in or near Buffalo

6:21 pm

tygerbryght

oh? then I'm sure she did get a *lot* of snow

6:22 pm

tygerbryght

inge, did you try to enter flugel for this grid?

6:22 pm

tygerbryght

pianoman was in earlier, complaining because it wasn't accepted

6:23 pm

Jindigo

could I get some help with FU 6/30 please?

6:23 pm

pam

Hi, all

6:23 pm

tygerbryght

hey, pam

6:23 pm

Jindigo

Hello Pam

6:24 pm

tygerbryght

fu6/30: an object used when you pour liquids into something with a small opening

6:24 pm

inge

I finished teh grid at 7:30 am. I know I hever tried flugel. Would taht be an English spelling, cause in German it gets an Umlaut u

6:24 pm

Jindigo

duh! thanks Tyger!

6:24 pm

pam

hi, tyger and jin

6:24 pm

tygerbryght

yw, jin

6:24 pm

stevedallas

toto we are not in kansas any more

6:25 pm

tygerbryght

yes, inge. I know :) I did a bit of searching, and told him that, for one thing, dictionaries show fluegel as a spelling (because of the umlaut)

6:25 pm

tygerbryght

wassamatta, steve?

6:26 pm

stevedallas

that was the clue for jin

6:26 pm

tygerbryght

OTOH, flugel is in wikipedia, used to refer to harpsichords and grand pianos (because of their shape)

6:26 pm

tygerbryght

oh, for the tornado?

6:27 pm

pam

as in a f cloud?

6:27 pm

stevedallas

yes

6:27 pm

6:43 pm

tygerbryght

I can do quite well with white pepper, but black pepper, and ... oh-oh

6:43 pm

tygerbryght

thx, nut. I will be sure not to buy it. I like their beer-battered fish

6:43 pm

kje

6:43 pm

evanonut

i like pepper, i don't mind it, i just wasn't expecting it to be so strong

6:44 pm

tygerbryght

nutter--- why are your neighbors mad at you?

6:48 pm

lbdawger

ow! kje snapped me!

6:48 pm

Jindigo

what kind of word is that?

6:48 pm

evanonut

oh, someone's been on my facebook!

6:48 pm

lbdawger

jin...stoopidhead word

6:48 pm

tygerbryght

what word, jin?

6:48 pm

Jindigo

-- thank you!

6:48 pm

Jindigo

-- thank you!

6:48 pm

evanonut

because they were hunting for deer on my property AFTER i told them not to

6:48 pm

kje

yep

6:49 pm

tygerbryght

nut, don't they know that's illegal??

6:49 pm

kje

i would think that would be trespassing and they should thank you that you are not pressing charges

6:49 pm

evanonut

i still got the cold shoulder even after i told them it was out of respect for my husbands memory

6:49 pm

lbdawger

let them be mad, nutty! i'd do the same thing

6:49 pm

Jindigo

never mind im not in my right mind right now

6:49 pm

evanonut

they'll thank me that i don't zing'em with a pellet if i seez them

6:50 pm

tygerbryght

ignore the idjits, then, nut - and if they do it again, call the sheriff

6:50 pm

kje

is hunting in housing areas permitted

6:50 pm

lbdawger

put up posted signs. then register with the police that your land is posted for no hunting

6:50 pm

tygerbryght

depends on size of property, kje

6:50 pm

tygerbryght

good advice, dawg

6:50 pm

evanonut

i won't have too, if i got the cold shoulder, they won't do it, but they'll be snots i guess. i guess i should care more about a 17 year olds hunting happiness than about how my hubber loved to feed the deer

6:51 pm

Jindigo

thats F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S for me - thanks for the clues

6:51 pm

evanonut

i put the signs up dawg, that's how the fight started

6:51 pm

tygerbryght

you absolutely should NOT care what they think, nut

6:51 pm

kje

woohoo jindigo!!!

6:51 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hooooo Jindigo!

6:51 pm

tygerbryght

yay, jin & yw :)

6:51 pm

evanonut

no respect for all the times he plowed their drive unasked either, guess that don't matter

6:51 pm

stevedallas

fireworks

6:51 pm

inge

bravo, Jindigo

6:51 pm

evanonut

i don't recall saying i cared, did i say i cared?

6:51 pm

kje

don't feel bad AT ALL nut!! they are being asses

6:51 pm

tygerbryght

yay, steve

6:51 pm

lbdawger

just protecting your rights, nutty. once the land is posted, the hunters can be prosecuted for trespass and or poaching.

6:52 pm

tygerbryght

like I said, nut, idjits

6:52 pm

evanonut

nope, i don't care, annoyed yes, care no -

6:52 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo steve

6:52 pm

evanonut

where's the sport in wanting to hunt in a spot they know i feed the deer at

6:52 pm

tygerbryght

((((nutter))))

6:53 pm

tygerbryght

there is NO sport, and that's illegal in most states (to hunt over a feeding spot)

6:53 pm

stevedallas

ive clues but they can be cryptic

6:53 pm

lbdawger

my backyard is a nature preserve. it's listed as a nature preserve on our title. anyone caught hunting on our land is a poacher, and that's big time and fines

6:53 pm

tygerbryght

greedy, stupid, incompetent .... idjits

6:53 pm

evanonut

but thanks for the knowledge of letting the pd know my land is posted, didn't know that

6:53 pm

Jindigo

*poof*

6:54 pm

evanonut

i'll have to look into local laws, make sure i do it right

6:54 pm

tygerbryght

maybe you should see about doing what dawg did, nut

6:54 pm

kje

steve... are you actually in dallas?

6:54 pm

evanonut

ok, gots to go light the wood burner and bathe, thanks for the ideas guys, later!

6:54 pm

tygerbryght

later, nut

6:54 pm

kje

bye nut! let us know if you shoot them... could be fun!

6:55 pm

redturtlehead

Oh nutty horrid. Where my parents live in pA, they come and spotlight the deer at night....even though yes it is posted.

6:55 pm

lbdawger

nighty night, nutty nut

6:55 pm

tygerbryght

turtle, maybe you should tell them about dawg's approach?

6:55 pm

evanonut

red, i fixed that, i spotlight them back

6:56 pm

lbdawger

lol, nutty treats them like trolls!

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

they seem to have worked out whatever they can...the spotlighting ill never stop because its too hard to figure out who is who in the dark, small communtiy...

6:56 pm

tygerbryght

I'm not opposed to hunting, but I *strongly* believe in sportsmanship

6:57 pm

lbdawger

i don't mind hunting either, but not in my backyard...literally.

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

I'm with you Tyger. my parents simply do not want hunting on land because they do not want to be shot themselves....hunters are sometimes carelss, like Dick Cheny.

6:57 pm

tygerbryght

of course not, dawg. it's stupid to do it in areas with houses

6:57 pm

pam

hi, again

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

Hiiiii Pam!

6:58 pm

tygerbryght

yeah, turtle. I wonder sometimes what would have happened had he not been using birdshot

6:58 pm

tygerbryght

WB, pam

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

Well and they are sort of non violent people.

6:58 pm

lbdawger

7:00 pm

kje

7:00 pm

tygerbryght

7:00 pm

tygerbryght

7:01 pm

lbdawger

i don't remember the whole case, but the woman was the daughter of one of the local aristocrats. the guys lost their privilege to hunt in montana for life.

7:01 pm

kje

7:01 pm

a1axelady

7:01 pm

tygerbryght

Thank you Lickety!

8:27 pm

jillibus

Hello all!

8:28 pm

Krista

how long was he gone, Jilli?? Hello!

8:29 pm

jillibus

Seems like forever, Krista -- maybe a week or 10 days while moving where there was an ADSL problem I think

8:30 pm

jillibus

Meanswhile the speed experts provided stats in BabAnon, hooray for them!

8:31 pm

jillibus

meanwhile

8:32 pm

Krista

wow, that IS a long time

8:32 pm

Krista

he carries a great responsibility, doesn't he, lol?!

8:33 pm

jillibus

when did he get back, Krista? I've been away from here all day and finished last night

8:34 pm

jillibus

So many of us really missed him, Krista, but you've been around so long that I guess you can whiz through this listless like sprite, hurshy, and others who were in at the beginning

8:35 pm

jillibus

and jacula, who doesn't even like clues from other babblers!

8:36 pm

jillibus

*shaking head in wonderment*

8:38 pm

Krista

i'm not sure when he returned...i have a laptop now and didn't put the list on it yet...nah, i'm an old timer but not fast finisher at all!

8:38 pm

dcseain

hi krista and jill!

8:38 pm

Krista

i usually get caught up in chatting and dont finish at all!!

8:38 pm

jillibus

hi dc!

8:39 pm

Krista

hey you! nice to see you!

8:39 pm

dcseain

i usually manage in spite of my chatting

8:39 pm

dcseain

and you, have you been krista?

8:39 pm

jillibus

chatting is half the fun (or more)

8:39 pm

dcseain

jill, i see your internet was interrupted for a bit?

8:39 pm

dcseain

indeed, jill, it is

8:39 pm

Krista

for example, i have 5 left and between tv, email, and this, haven't looked at the grid in about 20 min lol

8:40 pm

regis

clues for no6/24 and un5/12 last 2

8:41 pm

jillibus

dc, I don't think so -- just have been doing other things today since finishing last night -- getting rid of some of the guilt for babbling when I should be doing other things

8:41 pm

Krista

un 5/12: not illuminated

8:41 pm

Krista

dont have the other one myself

8:41 pm

dcseain

no6 no va in english, more or less

8:42 pm

dcseain

no6 - lacking self

8:42 pm

jillibus

no6 -- nobody + proceed

8:42 pm

Krista

babble guilt. we should have a support group. which would just mean more time dedicated to babble!

8:42 pm

regis

thank you just couldn't see it

8:42 pm

jillibus

TOO true, krista!

8:43 pm

dcseain

i thought we were a support group :)

8:43 pm

Krista

Yes, we are I guess. A meta supoort group?

8:43 pm

jillibus

That's true too, dc, lol!

8:43 pm

Krista

thanks for clues..need to see what it means now

8:44 pm

jillibus

8:44 pm

Krista

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

jillibus

YAY regis!!!

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

Krista

congrats!

8:45 pm

dcseain

congrats, regis!!!

8:45 pm

Twinkie

Krista, advice on seeing the no 6/24 in a different way? I'm missing the clue, too.

8:45 pm

jillibus

funny how that happens, krista, even to common words

8:46 pm

Krista

jilli's clue was nobody + proceed...did u see that one?

8:47 pm

jillibus

now must turn on oven to reheat leftover super-pizza (shiitake mushroom, feta cheese, roasted red pepper, bamboo shoots). Can't remember where I got it (frozen) and can't find another -- it was SO good!

9:04 pm

tygerbryght

but most were pretty boring

9:05 pm

Krista

AAAhhhh I see...like sally field on flying nun?

9:05 pm

tygerbryght

I got kinda tickled. I saw a very elderly nun in a habit 4 years ago. my knee replacement was done at a Catholic hosp. this ancient nun made the rounds through pre-op the day of my surgery

9:06 pm

tygerbryght

she must have been at *least* 90

9:06 pm

jillibus

hi tyger

9:15 pm

tygerbryght

you have to "go pro" first, via - but it's a one-time fee - worth it. you get all the stats permanently

9:15 pm

tygerbryght

otherwise, you lose them after 2 weeks

9:15 pm

dcseain

9:23 pm

tygerbryght

do you just want to get the clues now, kat? I may not be here too much longer

9:26 pm

good night all! thanks so much for clues, tyger.

9:26 pm

9:27 pm

9:27 pm

9:27 pm

tygerbryght

en6/18: someone who wants to be a soldier will en6 in the army

9:28 pm

idicyidikat

tyvm!!

9:28 pm

tygerbryght

yw :)

9:29 pm

tygerbryght

via, did that clue work for you?

9:29 pm

viajes

I'm not good with monkey names, unfortunately...

9:30 pm

viajes

I'm just typing in random letters but so far no luck.

9:30 pm

tygerbryght

oops. I've kept saying these are from S. America. I just checked, and they're African

9:31 pm

tygerbryght

gu6/27: gu + wh** did you get back from Africa + not off

9:31 pm

tygerbryght

via, we call that sort of trying for a word "monkeying" :D

9:31 pm

viajes

Yay!

9:31 pm

viajes

I win!

9:31 pm

viajes

Thank you!

9:32 pm

tygerbryght

y'know - like the chimps & typewriters thing?

9:32 pm

tygerbryght

yvw, via, and yay!

9:32 pm

viajes

exactly. I learn all sorts of strange words that way.

9:32 pm

tygerbryght

yep

9:33 pm

tygerbryght

warning: some words in the Enable list (which Babble draws from) aren't really words. they're not in any dictionary. I have no clue how they got on the list

9:33 pm

viajes

At least once I clicked on the little question mark to look up a word, and it went to the dictionary page and said "no such word"

9:33 pm

tygerbryght

they can be *very* annoying - especially when there's a real word in a grid that's not in the Enable list

9:34 pm

tygerbryght

not surprised. it happens every so often

9:34 pm

viajes

Yeah, they seem pretty inconsistent with slang terms

9:34 pm

tygerbryght

oh, my. tell me about it!

9:35 pm

tygerbryght

there's a broad selection of Scottish dialect in the list, though

9:35 pm

viajes

I never know what to expect... but sometimes "monkeying" leads me to a real word that I know. Like I try different letter combinations and then something jumps out at me and I think, "Why didn't I notice that word before? Why did I have to try "lkej" to get there?"

9:35 pm

tygerbryght

you'll see that for some of the strange words that are in the dictionary

9:36 pm

tygerbryght

LOL

9:36 pm

viajes

:) Well, I'm logging off; I'll see you the next time I either a) am finished with my work and have extra time, or more likely b) am evilly procrastinating while I'm supposed to be working

9:37 pm

tygerbryght

nice to have met you, via. look forward to seeing you again

9:37 pm

viajes

be well!

9:38 pm

tygerbryght

thx, you too

9:38 pm

idicyidikat

the last gu 6/27... i know someone said it was a monkey.... i still don't get it

9:38 pm

tygerbryght

I'm getting sleepy. if there's anybody needing clues, speak up ASAP

9:38 pm

idicyidikat

although, i studied primates, and mokeys are very different than apes and other types of primates

9:39 pm

tygerbryght

gu6: gu + wh** did you join? + not off

9:39 pm

wenren

can you clue the last word un

9:39 pm

Nooooooooo, kje. One minute I'm boiling and the next I am freezing. Are you trying to give me a heart attack?

10:38 pm

kje

LOL jac... so sorry

10:39 pm

kje

OK, I am going back to my online shopping... later

Jacula

Hope that's not online grocery shopping.

10:40 pm

Nef

kje, good luck
"timulating the economy!"

10:40 pm

Jacula

You can't trust a store to give you the freshest stuff. They are going to give youall the things with the shortest sell by dates because they need to get rid of them.

10:41 pm

Jacula

But online for books, dvds, cds etc is brillian.

10:43 pm

Nef

that should have been "STIMULATING: not timulating

10:43 pm

Jacula

No idea if Nef's 'timulating' was a typo or done on purpose, but it reminded me of a couple of malapropisms my stepdaughter has come out with over the years. Once, when she felt she was being blamed unfairly all on her own for something, she told us she wasn't going to be an 'escape goat'.

10:44 pm

Jacula

Another time, when I asked her to get milk from the shop for me, she came back and said, 'It was semi-skilled milk you wanted, wasn't it?'

10:45 pm

Nef

that's good! My keyboard sticks ; but it's my old one and my new one has a space bar that doesn't work. It seems I have a bad habit of dumping my morning coffee int othe keyboard latley

10:46 pm

Jacula

I love it when kids get words wrong because they can onl identify with what they know so far. I even remember my own mistakes of that kind.

10:47 pm

Nef

I make terrible mistakes when I'm tired.

10:47 pm

Jacula

Backin the 80s, when computers were first introduced into my office, we were not allowed to have food and drink anywhere near them.

10:48 pm

Jacula

We were allowed to smoke by them, though. LOL

10:48 pm

Nef

I once was helping turn a patient and I told him I was going to "put 2 heads under your pillow" (meaning 2 pillows under his head)

10:50 pm

Jacula

Nef - that reminds me of the time when my daughter had punched a hole in her temple by falling on a rusty bolt on a trailer. (Yes, I still shudder at the memory.) The nurse, trying to be kind, told her, 'There's nothing to worry about. We're just going to take a picture of the inside of your head.'

10:51 pm

Nef

Oh MY! What an awful experience for both of you!

10:51 pm

Jacula

I knew at once, by the lookof terror on my daughter's face what she was thinking. 'They're NOT going to saw the top of your head off,' I told her. It's a special camera that can look inside without doing that.

10:53 pm

Jacula

Talking of puttng heads under pillows, Nef. I used to tell my kids not to sleep with their heads under their pillows lest the Tooth Fairy should mistakenly remove ALL of their teeth. *evil cackle*

10:53 pm

Nef

did she have any residual problems from that fall?

10:54 pm

Nef

Jacula! For shame! ;)

10:55 pm

Jacula

No, Nef. But she fell off a swivel chair when sleeping at my parents about 2 years later and hit the corner of a cupboard and made a huge hole just below the nose end of her right eyebrow.

10:56 pm

Jacula

One of their dogs, A Bearded Collie, well known breed for herding children and nursemaiding them, found her and alerted them. We got a call in the night and rushed out to take her to hospital.

10:56 pm

Nef

How did you live through such a self-destructive child? I would have been well past menopause before 40 if it was me!

10:57 pm

Jacula

I wanted to kill the doctor when he stuck his finger in the wound and wiggled it around and more blood spurated everywhere.

10:57 pm

Nef

OMG! that's terrible!

10:59 pm

Jacula

Apparently, he was checking to see if 'the brain had been pierced'. I do hoope he's no longer a doctor.

10:59 pm

The Pounder

there are plenty of other games that are free whats the deal with paying for this one

10:59 pm

The Pounder

better games

10:59 pm

Jacula

We like THIS game and its community, Pounder.

11:00 pm

Nef

Jac, I too hope he's no longer endangering lives like that

11:00 pm

Jacula

Our fee is one time only. If you want to play WoW, there's a monthly fee. Thousands of people play WoW.

11:01 pm

Nef

Pounder, this is a challenging game and the community is nice. Have you tried playing the game for a few days?

11:02 pm

Jacula

I think I've seen Punder here before, Nef.

11:02 pm

Nef

ok

11:07 pm

Jacula

Anyway, Nef, my daughter is 21 now. She was a perfect baby (I used tohave to wake her up to feed her, had to punch more holes in the teat for her to get the milk quick enough, then she'd be sleeping as I changed her nappy). She became anorectic at 13 and spent 3 years in a clinic. Now she is managing life okay, got all her o levels and took an art degree, is now at Uni and is also doing a biology A level because she has decided she wants to be a radiographer (person who takes x rays).

11:08 pm

jillibus

Good for her, jac -- and hello again all

11:08 pm

nDanLia

hi all - for coffee proble'nn' get a plastic key cover - also keeps out cru'nn'bs, etc. Sarah wrap works too. Is it really as short as it see'nn's today??

11:09 pm

jillibus

does everyone realise Lickety is back?

11:09 pm

nDanLia

*Saran [plastic brand]

11:10 pm

jillibus

coffee problem?

11:10 pm

Jacula

Relieved that she no longer wanted to work as a nurse or a counsellor in an eating disorders clinic, I asked her why radiology? Wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry over her reply... 'Anorexics love looking at bones, Mum! This way, I can look at bones but they aren't my own.'

11:10 pm

jillibus

oh, lol, jac!

11:10 pm

Jacula

Hi jilli.

11:11 pm

nDanLia

spilling wake up coffee on keys was talked about

11:11 pm

jillibus

oh, I missed that, nDan, obviously

11:12 pm

nDanLia

glad life has turned a corner for her Jac

11:12 pm

jillibus

I see why no food or drink is allowed in our library, lol

11:13 pm

Jacula

Thanks Dan.

11:14 pm

Jacula

Jilli - yes the 'LOL' was somewhat not sure if it was gleeful or down-shouldered.

11:14 pm

nDanLia

they're hardier now; i prefer univ library cause you can eat/drink while working

11:15 pm

jillibus

jac, the lol was gleeful :)

11:15 pm

Jacula

You can buy a rubber keyboard now that you can put into the washing machine. It's a cr*p keyboard though.

11:16 pm

Nef

Sorry, Jac. I wandered off to fix some hot cocoa (It's chilly here tonight). And it was me who spilt coffee in 2 different keyboards, jilli

11:16 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I meant my LOL.

11:17 pm

Jacula

8% of anorectics don't recover but 'manage' the illness. 'Annie' is on their back or shoulders every minute of every day.

11:17 pm

Nef

Jac; isn't it great when the kidlets actually grow up and start being human again?

11:17 pm

jillibus

nDan, our library is mainly run by volunteers, most of whom are lederly ladies and don't need the hassle of cleaning up after spills and crumbs, or bits of paper thrown on the floor carelessly by hearty young men.

11:17 pm

Jacula

It is indeed, Nef.

11:18 pm

Nef

It really sounds like your daughter has done a 180 degree turn-around!

11:18 pm

Jacula

But it is also lovely when they are young and innocent and they think you 'know everything'.

11:19 pm

nDanLia

also a virtual one = either displays on desk surface w/ optics, or can 'nn'ouse over one on the scree

11:19 pm

Nef

oh; THAT is the *other* stage I liked my kids the best! ;)

11:19 pm

Jacula

Nef - she's living life to the full - it's just me who's worrying if she takes too much on and gets stressed and... well you know.

11:20 pm

Jacula

A Mum's perogative, I guess.

11:20 pm

Nef

nDan.ia; how do the virtual ones work for sleepy people?

11:21 pm

Jacula

jilli - hearty young men? There's a good old-fashioned, 'if I was younger, I'd...' phrase.

11:21 pm

Nef

I hear you loud and clear Jac. My daughter is 25 and has made me realize that some Moms must live on needles and pins with difficult kids

11:22 pm

nDanLia

they actually have an interface now that reads brain waves [was watching parapelegic doc], so i suspect we'll get a "brain inlet" surgeon in few years

11:23 pm

Jacula

Dan - that sounds a bit like a sci-fi series we've been watching here.

11:23 pm

nDanLia

does, but life is going at a good clip for technology

11:25 pm

Nef

I don't want my brain wired to a computer that interfaces with my brain. What if it found out I have a short? ;)

11:27 pm

nDanLia

[one person did have a "screw" wired into her head & is working on using it to power a wheelchair; others were wearing caps, used for pc s [where control wasn't as critical]

11:28 pm

Jacula

Series was 'Fringe'. I just asked Other Half, since he just got up for work,

11:29 pm

Nef

Jac, how long have you been up? It's what? -6 Am there now?

11:29 pm

nDanLia

she's a night "sweat" owl

11:29 pm

Nef

LOL!

11:29 pm

Jacula

Series was on Fox in USA, Ninenetwork in Aus and Sky1 in UK.

11:30 pm

Nef

lelo

11:30 pm

Nef

whoops!

11:31 pm

Jacula

Actually, I'm bl**dy freezing at the moment.

11:31 pm

Jacula

But I'll prbably be boiling again in half an hour or so.

11:31 pm

Nef

from being tired? that's when I get chilled

11:33 pm

Jacula

Probably Nef, but it works both ways whatever time I go to bed. I can sleep uninterupted if I drink a little too much alcohol, but I don't think that's the right way to go.

11:33 pm

Jacula

uninterrupted, I meant.

11:34 pm

Jacula

I hate making spelling mistakes.

11:34 pm

Jacula

Blame it on having gone to a Grammar School.

11:34 pm

Nef

well, don't "sweat" it. we all make mistakes

11:35 pm

Jacula

LOL

11:35 pm

Nef

how would you like being raised by the school superintendent? Who *really* believed in Spelling Bees?

11:36 pm

jillibus

Is there such a thing as grammar any more?

11:36 pm

Jacula

Nef - I believe in 10 a day spelling tests. The work!

11:36 pm

Jacula

They work, I meant. I am v.v. tired.

11:37 pm

jillibus

poor jac -- you're having ahard time with The Pause

11:37 pm

Nef

oh, here in the US, there is a National Spelling Bee. My Aunt wanted our county to always go to the State (at least!)

11:37 pm

Jacula

The only way to learn things you got wrong is to repeat them.

11:37 pm

jillibus

I've seen the Spelling Bee finals on TV

11:39 pm

Jacula

This cissy tesching thing about notusing a red pen to correct errors (red is seen as aggresive) and using a green pen to correct only the worst errors, but not all errors, is CR*P! Never mind upsetting the poor little dears. How will the poor little dears know they've got it wrong if you don't tell them?

11:39 pm

Nef

they are fun to watch, jilli;;; but not to compete to get there!

11:39 pm

Jacula

Sorry! Hobby horse of mine re education methods in the UK.

11:40 pm

Nef

okay, I need help with my last 2 words. I've been chatting instead of spelling here, and now it

11:41 pm

Nef

it's time to finish and go to bed. Any hits for the fl 4/8 and the fr 5/16 please?

11:42 pm

jillibus

I thought the Brit education I got was pretty good -- when I hit the USA at age 13 in 1940 I was years ahead of my age group -- they wanted to put me in the last year of high school (grade 12)

11:43 pm

nDanLia

fr is pl

11:43 pm

jillibus

That was based on an English test

MLFAN17

hello

11:58 pm

Jacula

But I enjoy smoking and I do object to the way smokers have been ostracised. The government will never ban smoking because they rake in so much revenie from it, but no other group would be the victim of this kind of discrimination. I'm sure it's not PC nor legal if put to the test.

11:58 pm

jillibus

hope it's small again, and comprehensible

11:59 pm

dalenmiles

11:59 pm

MLFAN17

hi jill no way not that small

11:59 pm

jillibus

I used to feel that way when I smoked, jac

11:59 pm

Jacula

I'll wait for the new grid and then wander off back to bed.
