Earlier today I couldn't stay online -- too hot here for the health of the computer, I was told. 35C, 94F in the house with fans going -- 46C, 119F outside my bedroom window. Now it's cooled down a bit at 10:51 pm -- only 33C, 88F in here

12:52 am

J. C.

Oh goodness - that's much too hot! :/

1:03 am

jillibus

Flosey -- meant to say my mum and I went to see Jimmy Durante in the Hippodrome in NYC in 1935. We were sitting in the gods and could hardly hear anything, just saw this little guy way down below walking around and shouting and throwing his hat on the floor. I was 8 and still remember!

1:03 am

flosey

I'll join him now, will be playing from Vancouver tomorrow night

1:03 am

stidmama

1:04 am

flosey

1:04 am

jillibus

lovely night for stargazing, I should think!

1:05 am

J. C.

Your Last FM profile says you're male, and in Germany?

1:05 am

J. C.

*Scratches head!*

1:05 am

flosey

yes, earlier we watched the moon go down behind the mountain, and the stars come up

1:05 am

J. C.

Or am I reading something incorrectly? I'm easily confused, by the way . . . :P

1:05 am

flosey

no JC, I think you must have me confused with someone else

1:05 am

J. C.

I clicked the 'Profile' button in your Babble bio!

1:06 am

J. C.

On the Last FM thing?

1:06 am

J. C.

I could be very, very confused though, yes - being this overtired. :P

1:06 am

flosey

but perhaps when you clicked it the chatbox moved and you clicked on someone else??? I've done that

1:06 am

J. C.

But no, it is indeed what I did, resulting from that. Just double-checked!

1:06 am

1:08 am

J. C.

Yes, I can imagine - hope it cools down for you soon, stid!

1:08 am

stidmama

see you-all soon! *poof*

1:08 am

Jacula

oH JOY! That means I am free to do the ironing later, to turn up 2 pairs of skinny jeans for my daughter and to replace an invisible zip in one of her dresses and a fly zip in Beloved's jeans.

1:09 am

J. C.

What *fun*, Jacula! ;)

1:09 am

Jacula

I can also watch SKY+ recorded stuff whilst doing the irnong.

1:09 am

J. C.

And now I must run . . .

1:09 am

Jacula

What an exciting life I lead. LOL.

1:09 am

flosey

I see JC, but I don't use FM, and he is much younger than I - he is obviously not a babbler - cannot have same name here

1:09 am

J. C.

See you all later . . . *WAVES!*

1:09 am

J. C.

And . . . *POOFS!*

1:09 am

Jacula

Actually, I'm mostly content with it.

1:10 am

Jacula

'Bye JC - catc up with youlater.

1:10 am

jillibus

Bye, JC -- that was so sudden!

1:10 am

flosey

1:13 am

It's so nice to meet someone who appreciates nature and the world we live in. So many people don't now.

1:16 am

Jacula

Well, morning has broken (as Cat Stevens sang the hymn) and I'm still in one piece sinc no shaft of sunlight has yet come through. LOL

1:20 am

jillibus

wish you wouldn't say that, josh, when I'm struggling, lol!

1:21 am

joshuavorbis

ha, sorry. it was mostly words i have seen a lot of times on here, if that helps

1:22 am

jillibus

It doesn't help -- I've seen them before too but they're hiding tonight

1:22 am

jillibus

I keep seeing the beginnings of words but they have no last letter

1:22 am

joshuavorbis

which ones are invisible?

1:23 am

jillibus

well, if I knew, I'd have found them, wouldn't I?

1:23 am

joshuavorbis

i mean, which blank tiles?

1:24 am

jillibus

LOL -- the top row E and the other E in the 4th column

1:24 am

rururocks

1:24 am

joshuavorbis

do you want stats or clues on them?

1:24 am

jillibus

wtg ruru!

1:26 am

jillibus

thanks, josh -- I'll just struggle for now -- I do try to get nbt before asking for clues although sometimes I'm too blind

1:26 am

joshuavorbis

1:31 am

rbud

1:32 am

rururocks

only if you are shallow jilli

1:32 am

jillibus

I've been very distracted tonight, with emails and such

1:33 am

jillibus

got the top E fish and devoured it

1:33 am

joshuavorbis

i think my mind is too narrow-tracked to be able to handle babble and email. it's really one or the other

1:33 am

joshuavorbis

i bet it was nice and tasty!

1:33 am

joshuavorbis

i hope you didn't devour the entire fish, and left some things out

1:34 am

jillibus

and spied the other E too -- NBT!

1:34 am

joshuavorbis

well done

1:38 am

rbud

All I ne4 for NBT is the single A under the I.

1:38 am

jillibus

Hi Cwossy! My friend's brother, age 42, has Stage IIIc seminoma--started cisplatinum, bleomycin and etoposide yesterday.

6:04 am

Good day Hazel. I have been thinking of you as I read Lynn Truss' book, "Talk to the Hand". Hilarious, as was her other book, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves."

6:05 am

crosshair

crossy shudders at the thought of cisplatinum

6:05 am

Haz1558

Hello Scrabbler. I remember reading 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' and thinking 'At last, someone who understands!'

6:06 am

crosshair

the worst thing about that crap is you sweat it and taste it 24/7

6:07 am

crosshair

not to mention losing 80 or 90 pounds;(

6:07 am

Scrabbler

You would love this book, Hazel--all about the increasing rudeness of contemporary society. She refers to the "Eff Off Reflex." You must read it.

6:07 am

hello

12:52 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Liz

12:54 pm

Lizsark

hi annie

12:55 pm

Lizsark

So what're you reading at the moment

12:56 pm

Anniebrook

right now, I am reading The Nine by Jeffrey Toobin about the Supreme Court Justices...very interesting

12:57 pm

Lizsark

Sounds good :) I'm on an autobigraphy streak at the moment :)

12:58 pm

Anniebrook

I like autobiographies. I just finished Unaccustomed Earth by Jumpha (SP?) Lahiri. Fabulous book.

12:59 pm

Anniebrook

Jhumpa ???

1:00 pm

Lizsark

Haven't read that one, must look it up :) I'm reading one about a woman who adopted and raised five downs syndrome children and two autistic kids. Its heart wrenching but she is so inspiring :)

1:01 pm

Anniebrook

Liz, My son has Down Syndrome. Please tell me the name of the book. I must read it.

1:03 pm

Lizsark

A Mother Like Alex: One Defiant Woman. Nine Special Children. by Bernard Clark. Its great although much of it is to do with her battles against the system in Britain for adopting, but I'm sure you'll find it interesting.

1:04 pm

Anniebrook

I will definitely get the book. Thanks so much.

1:04 pm

Lizsark

There is a section about each of her children. The one boy ended up working as a guide showing people around Manchester United football ground. She's an amazing lady

1:04 pm

Lizsark

Hope you like it. Would be interested to hear your opinion sometime :)

1:05 pm

Anniebrook

Next time I go to the library I will reserve a copy.

1:07 pm

Lizsark

Gosh I've only found 40 words so far. If you don't mind I'm going to get stuck in for a bit :)

1:07 pm

we actually broke a temperature record yesterday when we hit 106F (will find the conversion for that)

4:06 pm

mo

my geography of America has a lot to be desired, so I always assume it is hot there!!!!

4:06 pm

Pinikula

wow...106F = 41C...ouch

4:07 pm

jacq

wow pini, i would be a mess with that heat

4:07 pm

mo

again ... poor thing ... I really do feel for you!

4:07 pm

Pinikula

I understand the whole geography thing...Oregon is on the same latitude line as England; California is further down, say maybe in line with Spain or further south (so, the closer to the equator, the hotter the temp)

4:08 pm

Pinikula

thx jacq...they say it's supposed to be going down in the next day or two...but until then...it's sweltering!!!

4:08 pm

jacq

i think california is closer than spain, it snows in spain some winters

4:08 pm

Pinikula

yikes, it rarely snows in southern California

4:10 pm

mo

its where the different states are that I dont know.

4:11 pm

Pinikula

it's actually pretty close to one, mo

4:13 pm

4:55 pm

jacq

and hello snpdiva

4:55 pm

snpdiva

ah, thanks!!

4:59 pm

snpdiva

Oh, I can very easily see how this game would drive me crazy.

5:03 pm

jacq

it's very addictive, very. the list you see under the grid you get to see for two weeks, then you have to go pro, or rely on instinct or the chog

5:04 pm

snpdiva

so after playing free for two weeks, the list goes away?

5:04 pm

jacq

yes, but not lickety's clues that's always available

5:05 pm

jacq

but the stats list goes

5:05 pm

snpdiva

cool... makes sense

5:07 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

5:07 pm

need clues? I actually need to make bracelets....

5:20 pm

jmcnrick

wtg science you are getting to be a reall pro

5:21 pm

sciencegeek

Planet of the Apes (original) rocks!

5:21 pm

jmcnrick

really never liked it

5:21 pm

sciencegeek

I am trying really hard. Someone told me about Morewords... I use it when I get constipated on a word

5:21 pm

jmcnrick

I think I liked the simpson musical version better

5:21 pm

sciencegeek

I like it

5:22 pm

jmcnrick

I use lickety's list and not morewords

5:22 pm

sciencegeek

They are mutually exclusive. I cannot make jewelry and be on the computer. So I will go SOOOOON. Clues?????

5:22 pm

jmcnrick

One of my favorite desktop mottoes: "I live like I type--fast, with a lot of mistakes." Probably I like it so much because it doesn't apply to me. Type fast, live slow, try to avoid mistakes.

I have been preening myself on retaining babblets, remembering obscure words, and toddling along the learning curve. Now it seems that the learning curve is a Bell Curve. I reached the top, and I'm sliding back down. Why can't I finish without recourse to the list? I'm stuck at 25.

they are testing vaccines on those groups, but won't be available until November for public

9:10 pm

lbdawger

Although Welki and Jilli were kind enough to send some lovely cooling weather down yesterday and today. Hope it stays for a while.

9:11 pm

lbdawger

The timing on those vaccines makes sense for those of us above the equator, but for you folks, down under, it seems they should be doing something more active NOW!

9:12 pm

mrpresident

i better go deliver my son his instrument for band practise... bbs

9:12 pm

lbdawger

later, MRP

9:12 pm

mrpresident

dawg, at least we are your test subjects! LOL

9:13 pm

pida 1

Does anyone realize that they are testing unknown vaccines, that are full of adjuvanets. More dangerous than getting the flu itself....

9:14 pm

pida 1

adjuvants...

9:14 pm

lbdawger

We can only hope they get all the nasties out before infecting humans, Pida
