sprite

morning all, hail and be merry, for the icon themes have finally been truly updated! :)

2:40 am

jillibus

hi spritey! Good to see you!

2:41 am

sprite

jilli, and vice versa :) Took me a while to process your email, but it is done, and I copied all those dates to next year as well.

2:42 am

jillibus

What was in need of processing?

2:43 am

sprite

your email about the holiday themes

2:43 am

sprite

aw I like your icon :)

2:44 am

jillibus

thanks! And I wonder if someone fed steroids to that kid in yours!

2:44 am

sprite

yeah I wonder exactly the same thing.

2:47 am

jillibus

Just had a look at the long icon theme list and I wonder why you have Dec 3 as US Thanksgiving -- it never is that date!

2:47 am

sprite

I still cannot access the email on my old computer and some people had sent me icon theme suggestions. But they haven't resent them to me, so I will have to make up new ones.

Let me check, I have probably made a mistake while reorganising the list.

2:47 am

jillibus

It's aways the fourth Thursday in November

2:48 am

jillibus

Oh, I see what the email problem is. How frustrating!

2:49 am

sprite

yup, thanks for seeing that, jilli, I copied the week and didn't see I copied the theme as well. Will correct now.

2:50 am

jillibus

It's there for next year too

2:50 am

sprite

one more question, jilli: Hanukkah, is that on a set date or on a set day or like Easter?

2:51 am

jillibus

It varies, sprite

2:51 am

ok, will remove it from next year then, it will be on another date then.

2:51 am

jillibus

yes, and I have no idea when

2:53 am

sprite

there! I put Hanukkah in for next year, but without a date. We will check then.

2:54 am

jillibus

It may be Googleable

2:54 am

jillibus

sometimes it's spelt Chanukah

2:56 am

jillibus

or something like that

2:57 am

sprite

will check it next year, it is in the themes so will remember. Oh, and I have decided I like your Xmas themes so much, I want them for next year too. Copied them in already :)

2:57 am

jillibus

Well, I hope it won't be too hard to find icons for them!

2:58 am

sprite

of course it won't, you'll see!

2:59 am

sprite

oops I should be in the sin bin... the ic4 is in the grid. *trods off*

3:00 am

jillibus

Well, I'm exactly halfway here, but still with 3 BT! (Oops -- I'll be joining you in the sin bin as long as there's a bed in there)

3:00 am

sprite

*makes a bed for jilli with lovely clean sheets and pillow thing*

3:01 am

jillibus

sheets dried outside on a line so they smell sweet :)

3:02 am

jillibus

mmmmm!

3:02 am

sprite

exactly! Nothing better than that. Especially in winter, because it is so unexpected then :)

3:02 am

jillibus

Can't do it here -- against the rules to have a clothesline!

3:02 am

sprite

*puts milk and banana on bed stand*

3:03 am

sprite

are you kidding???? Why is that?

3:03 am

jillibus

oh, thanks -- just what I want (and will have in a minute)

3:03 am

jillibus

washing on a line doesn't look nice

3:03 am

jillibus

They Say

3:04 am

sprite

I actually like the sight of clean washing in the wind

3:04 am

sprite

am baffled. Didn't know there was a place with a rule like that.

3:05 am

jillibus

I just might break the rules, but I'd need someone to climb up a rocky outcrop and get on a shaky ladder and fasten a pulley to an old oak tree.

3:06 am

sprite

no adventurous grandson available?

3:07 am

jillibus

Nope. Not anywhere nearby! I might be able to find someone, but it really is rather hazardous.

3:07 am

sprite

*cuddles up on jilli's bed end for a late night chat*

3:07 am

jillibus

wouldn't it be cosy!

3:08 am

sprite

I'd love to. No kidding. If I had the money to buy tickets, my first one would be to visit you.

3:08 am

jillibus

but I must head for the real bed, I'm afraid, and stop interrupting your word search. How are you doing?

3:08 am

jillibus

Awww, sweet.

3:09 am

sprite

got 40 in so far, looks like a tricky grid.
Sleep well, dear jilli, and dream even better :) *hug*

3:09 am

jillibus

It's tricky, all right! But you'll do fine, as did dart and dee and maybe others

3:10 am

sprite

am confident I will find them in time :)
Bye jilli, it was great to see you again.

3:10 am

jillibus

So have a great day, spritey, and thanks for doing the themes again. Do you want me to send the explanations for the Christmas ones again?

3:11 am

sprite

oh yes, that would be great! I made such a great text from it, but it is on my old puter. I'd love you to send it again.

3:11 am

jillibus

OK, will do, maybe tomorrow, ok?

3:12 am

sprite

no hurry! When it suits you, it's ok.

7:52 am

Merk

Well zooz, you helped me so much the other day that I should be satisfied. What does the dictionary give the meaning as?

7:52 am

zoozzoom

it says -a type of Persian pottery ware.
Origin:

7:53 am

Merk

I've had words before that I was clueless on how to clue.

7:53 am

Merk

I'll keep searching. Is there a reverse dictionary site?

7:54 am

hego

perhaps it can be clued phonetically.

7:54 am

Judi

Persion pottery. Oh yeah. Got loads of that laying around.

7:55 am

hego

wouldn't have any other kind.

7:55 am

Judi

Cracking clue, Kallia. Many thanks.

8:01 am

I think we can safely say that it is a first time occuring in the grid.

8:02 am

zoozzoom

must admit, not seen that before..ever..well untill now..lol

8:02 am

i found the word on good old wikipedia Merk.

Let's hope we never see it again.

8:03 am

I need an on 6 clue. I have the plural for the root vegetable.

8:04 am

Marc Freeman

Kalia, your clue for go8 seems to be 9 letters

8:05 am

Trifioso

n's nullified

8:05 am

zoozzoom

it is the same Merk just dif ending

8:05 am

Trifioso

describe the vegetable, merk

8:05 am

Merk

an 6/21 clue please

8:05 am

zoozzoom

Not good news then Judi, bitten by a tick by the sounds of it.

8:06 am

zoozzoom

it is almost the same as the on6

8:06 am

Judi

I suspect so, Zooz. I was chasing the cat through the tall grasses a few weeks ago. Interesting factoid: cats don't get Lyme disease.

8:07 am

Merk

Which o did you begin with ... top, third, or fourth row?

8:07 am

Trifioso

o's ousted

8:08 am

zoozzoom

third row

Clue for last un6? I have the merger one.

Everyone singing the same melody line; it's sung in un****

8:09 am

Judi

Ty, Merk.

8:09 am

Merk

That is the kind of clue I need for the on 6, but I don't think it's a real word. I can't monkey an on word that sounds like the other on 6.

8:09 am

Judi

ON6 plus sometimes vowel ending.

9:49 am

Joanne123

9:50 am

flosey

for a ho6

9:50 am

rbud

ho 7, remove a vowel for ho 6

9:51 am

MonkeyGames

Not really here, not even really lurking, but was checking my e-mail and saw Babble open... hoisin is not a brand name and should be accepted, but isn't. Sigh. There are many brands of hoisin sauce out there. Anyway, off with me to make dinner (possibly using some); have fun folks!

9:51 am

EvaNadine

interesting. TY

9:51 am

rbud

hi/bye, Monkey!

9:53 am

rbud

you know, I still have one BT, the center O. would love to get that one.

9:54 am

flosey

os6/21 rbud

9:55 am

flosey

not sure if it comes from the center or the top 0 though

9:56 am

Boobear

hi all

9:56 am

rbud

well, don't have it yet, so ty, it'll help in any case. :)

9:56 am

flosey

could also be oh5/16

9:56 am

Boobear

is anyone else having trouble with the expert

9:57 am

flosey

working fine here Boo

9:57 am

rbud

yes! the oh did it! - but that makes 9 gerunds, I think!

9:57 am

Boobear

well mine isn't

9:58 am

flosey

thanks rbud, that means I have one to go

9:59 am

lshult

hey guys

9:59 am

rbud

heck, now I have 10 gerund endings, I give up on thinking I'm done with them. (just added cow talk to the list, lol!)

10:00 am

flosey

hi ishult

10:00 am

lshult

got the mo9/78, any clue to other 9?

10:00 am

rbud

go 8/65 & go 9/84 (pl)

10:02 am

lshult

ty

10:02 am

sciencegeek

hint rbud?

10:02 am

sciencegeek

for the go

10:02 am

flosey

now have 11 gerunds

10:03 am

lshult

anyone got the u's?

10:03 am

rbud

go 8 = iranian pottery, weird word. it's in Wikipedia

10:04 am

sciencegeek

ty very strange indeed

10:04 am

rbud

I have un 5/12 and its pl, need one more.

10:05 am

flosey

the u words are normal words

10:06 am

rururocks

I need the second co 5/16 if anyone has it

10:07 am

flosey

ru, do you have co7/40? omit third letter

10:07 am

rururocks

missing that too

10:07 am

rururocks

those are my last c's

10:08 am

flosey

co7 - 2 agree on a contract

10:08 am

sciencegeek

co math term

10:10 am

rururocks

isn't that the co 6/27 flosey?

10:10 am

rbud

co 5 = co + "Cal***, take me away" bath oil commercial

10:11 am

flosey

sorry ru, you're right, co7 is to transfer to another

10:13 am

rururocks

don't recognize that commercial rb

10:13 am

rbud

take the 3rd letter out of the co 6/27 for the 2nd co 5/16, I think

10:13 am

flosey

co5 could be a cornerstone

10:14 am

flosey

that's co5/16, co6/27, add a vowel

10:14 am

rbud

okay, ru, try co + "***e with the wind" - scarlett & rhett story

10:14 am

rururocks

that is the first.. I need the second 5/16

10:15 am

flosey

my clue was for the second one ru

10:15 am

rbud

so was mine at 10:13, unless there's still another co 5/16

10:16 am

rururocks

there is

10:16 am

flosey

or stick another cons, in co4/5

10:16 am

rbud

though I basically borrowed the clue from flosey, credit where due. :)

10:18 am

rururocks

finally..

10:19 am

rururocks

I hate words like that

10:19 am

rbud

yeah, silent letters, pooh!

10:19 am

flosey

fireworks, and my last word was similar to the word just clued - so6/24

10:20 am

rbud

yay, flosey!!!

10:21 am

flosey

now have to tidy up my office, ugh! carpet cleaners coming in tomorrow morning

10:22 am

rbud

10:23 am

10:26 am

rbud

10:30 am

rururocks

I need a clue for the co 7

10:35 am

meliae

10:51 am

sciencegeek

argh and ugh....

10:53 am

Trifioso

I take COMPLETE exception to the co5, 18. no definition is provided, either, but I know, really know, as a new england girl born and raised that that is NOT how you spell the name of the clam.

10:53 am

sciencegeek

first ho 7 pls

10:53 am

Trifioso

I am off my soap box now.

10:54 am

EvaNadine

trif -- TY for your rant, that gave me the word!
everyone knows its spelled with QU!

10:54 am

Judi

I agree, Trif. We would need a Qu for that.

10:54 am

Trifioso

thank you evanadine, for validating me as an adult and as a new englander!

10:54 am

sciencegeek

nm

10:54 am

Carolryberg

Thanks trif I'm from New England also, and I missed that one.

10:54 am

Judi

Unless we're talking about conjoined swine.

10:55 am

rbud

*giggle*

10:55 am

meliae

Yep I agree about the clam word

10:55 am

Trifioso

lol! that would be spelled jonandkate, I think

10:55 am

EvaNadine

maybe 2 people are keeping something all to themselves. CO5ing it...

10:55 am

torgone

ROFLMAO!!!

10:55 am

Judi

Quoink!

10:57 am

Trifioso

10:57 am

meliae

10:57 am

torgone

Do tell ..

10:58 am

Trifioso

I got in a fender bender. I backed up and hit the fender of another car, quite hard. That is bad enough on it's own, but the car I hit makes it all worse - it was the car from Primo's driver's ed course. I am SCARLET

10:58 am

Trifioso

and now Sacagewea has her first boo boo

10:59 am

torgone

Oopsie ..

10:59 am

Trifioso

the driver's ed instructor could NOT have been nicer - I would say body damage is rather par for the course, really. Of course, normally it is the students inflicting the damage, not their moms. (scarlet again just thinking about it....)

11:00 am

EvaNadine

hints for the corner E?

11:01 am

hurshy

11:07 am

EvaNadine

happily hanging. :)

11:08 am

o-o

11:08 am

Trifioso

i *think* it's the no7 that refers to the gallows

11:08 am

Trifioso

11:09 am

EvaNadine

yes, thats it -- thanks!

11:09 am

EvaNadine

11:09 am

Trifioso

I need the po 7, 36 -- anyone have it please?

11:10 am

EvaNadine

dont have it, sorry...

11:11 am

Trifioso

I can clue the go 9, as it is a completely odd word that hardly anyone could monkey....

11:11 am

meliae

what a model does

11:11 am

EvaNadine

11:11 am

meliae

alt spelling lol

11:11 am

Trifioso

go + initials of toy company that makes monopoly, then another way to spell ancient writing

11:11 am

Trifioso

and then plural that mess

11:12 am

o-o

po + a trig function, not the si 4 or tangent, but *****e

11:12 am

o-o

I recall your picture?

11:19 am

o-o

or simply guess

11:19 am

Trifioso

no, no, what I meant was - how do you always know exactly what word I am trying to monkey, and clue it every time, almost always unbidden? That is some mighty ESP you have there!!! :)

11:22 am

rururocks

could anyone direct me in the is anything direction?

11:23 am

Trifioso

I have 14 words left, ruru, and almost ALL of them are i's, so I am almost no hope at all. I HATE I words

4:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

4:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks nrkii

4:40 pm

nrkii

owl, not so great... money starting to get a little low

4:40 pm

nrkii

drastic measures are looming, I fear

4:41 pm

Wolvie

4:41 pm

Atalante

poor nrky :(

4:42 pm

nrkii

I am getting the sense it's getting a tiny bit better out there, but not sure that will help me much

4:42 pm

Wolvie

whoa - that is a long time. I hope this economy turns soon for the regular folks. I fear it may not, it took many years to get to this point.

4:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

btw nrk i like your car. how do you rate it?

4:43 pm

nrkii

anyway, it's not tragic, just unsettling...

4:43 pm

Wolvie

we have been lucky here in the wolvie abode. I am thankful every day for that

4:43 pm

nrkii

ah, the car was purchased over a year before the job was lost, and I bought it used, but with only 13K miles on it :)

4:44 pm

nrkii

I had a Taurus before that, which I thought was too boring, so I decided to go sports-car instead

4:44 pm

nrkii

my mom has the Taurus now... I turned it over to her with 99,980 miles on it :)

4:45 pm

4:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:45 pm

nrkii

Anyhow, the Infiniti G35 Coupe, which these days is the G37, is pretty fabulous, even used

4:45 pm

Wolvie

well that is cool nrkii

4:45 pm

nrkii

hi beach!

4:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nrkii, you do a lotta driving, eh?!

4:46 pm

nrkii

4:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

4:46 pm

periwinkle

nrkii, are you still doing some consulting?

4:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty for the info. there is a dealer right here, may take a test drive

4:47 pm

nrkii

Owl, I would definitely recommend Infinit in general, and the G37 specifically

4:47 pm

nrkii

peri, no, nothing right now

4:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nrkii, you beat me, i (used to) do about 15,000. much less these days, driving "ecomonically"

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. see a ton of them around here nd i am a sucker for the good looks.

4:47 pm

nrkii

my consulting client is having his own troubles

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i bumped into the former directorof our learning center heloing her sister sell jewelry at rice's. she said she can make with one class what she made at work in a month

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

so basically she has to work a week to live as before

4:49 pm

nrkii

wow... maybe I should do that!

4:49 pm

Wolvie

what did you consult in nrkii?

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

she is dong lots of leadership training

4:49 pm

nrkii

operations/management wolvie

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

so you can teach it as a consultant

4:50 pm

nrkii

where is she doing this? how is she finding clients?

4:50 pm

Wolvie

of??? - i ask because i used to consult, and my sis still does - she does SAP

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

LOl wolvie, the bane of my current existence!

4:51 pm

Wolvie

what, SAP?

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

not sure, nrk. govt is a good source for training jobs

4:51 pm

Wolvie

i find it infinitely boring, but it pays well

4:51 pm

nrkii

I was working in market research, on the ops side... as a consultant, I was doing some work with a former employer on a major internal project they were ramping up... I was basically project managing it for them

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

yep sap! doing uat for our new sap

4:52 pm

Wolvie

fireworks'

4:52 pm

nrkii

yay wolvie!!!

4:52 pm

Wolvie

oh. lol - she is doing the a global roll out/implementation. she has been in the uk a lot.

4:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

wtg wolive!

4:53 pm

nrkii

I'm not on the technical side, more on the user side. I tend to be the one who works with the tech people to help translate user needs into technical requirements, and vice versa

4:53 pm

Wolvie

she works for honeywell right now

4:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

we have tons of consultants/contractors on this project. from ibm, hwell, others. anyone who has inplemented SAP

4:54 pm

Wolvie

hmm - honeywell is on a hiring freeze, per se - but i think it will lift at the beginning of next year. or so a little birdie tells me. ;-)

4:54 pm

Wolvie

what project are you working on? you may even know my sis. Do you have a lot of ex bearing point folks?

4:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

also nrk real world business expertise is in demand for teaching at business schools

4:55 pm

Wolvie

good field nrkii - needed big time

4:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

no bearing pt folks that i know of

4:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

no bearing pt folks that i know of

4:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

then nrk you are a systems analyst. you are needed to interface between users and geeks

4:56 pm

Wolvie

ah. well - if you have honeywell people, she probably knows of your project. :-)

4:56 pm

nrkii

I have a lot of confidence in my own value, but most jobs out there want people who have SAP experience, or are six sigma black belts, or have some other credentials that I don't have

4:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

BUT if you are in a pinch, govt is hiring big time

4:56 pm

Wolvie

nrkii - i will ask my sis about it - i'll let you know

4:56 pm

nrkii

I am a great interface between users and geeks... I love geeks :)

4:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

as a stop gap

4:56 pm

Wolvie

very true TO

4:57 pm

nrkii

4:57 pm

Dorens

long phone conversation with my mom.. back now.. what is SAP?

4:57 pm

Wolvie

a business software Dorens

4:58 pm

Wolvie

interfaces all facets, so they say. :-)

4:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

systemic approach to business mgt/integration, driven by financials

4:58 pm

Dorens

worse than a foreign language to me.. I have no idea about that stuff at all

4:58 pm

nrkii

funny thing is, in companies I've worked at who had SAP, they ONLY used it for financials, and didn't integrate it with anything else

4:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

ERP will make our busienss run more efficiently and effectively (i drank the kool-aid)

4:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

ERP will make our busienss run more efficiently and effectively (i drank the kool-aid)

5:00 pm

5:00 pm

Wolvie

oh it will TO. Pat assures me it does. :-)

5:00 pm

nrkii

yep, wolvie, true that

5:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:01 pm

hmmmm, not sure I like the concept of ERP, but only because I've seen first-hand how dangerous such tools can be in the wrong hands

5:02 pm

nrkii

5:05 pm

nrkii

SarbOx?

5:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

huh?

5:07 pm

nrkii

Sarbanes-Oxley... 2002 act that caused the most ridiculous need for added process in order to comply with financial requirements

5:08 pm

lynxxx

The place that I retired from a couple of years ago put in SAP 'cold turkey' almost - as well as finance modules used for warehouse/distribution and production. OK system, the way we implemented was not though - wore me out

5:08 pm

nrkii

and I say ridiculous only because the requirement were basically a lot of paperwork that proved NOTHING about actual process

5:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

doh! my business law teacher would be upset

5:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nrkii, sweet deal for some, and crap deal for others, no doubt cooked up by the former

5:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sounds like another "triumph" of W administration

5:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

every single organizaton that has implemented SAP has had major pain. EVERY one.

5:09 pm

nrkii

the finance people got to the point where all they cared about was that the document was filed -- they couldn't care less whether we actually followed good procedures

5:11 pm

Yeah, we heard of similar stories here - like debtors out of control/irreconcilable

5:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

they had so much they had it stored in an off site warehouse. sap could not recognize it, guess they didnb't think to program it in for a temp condition

5:11 pm

Dorens

down to 14, but might break to make dinner. a girl's got to eat. (just stopped to check email and saw great pictures of my grandkids... I'm swooning)

5:11 pm

nrkii

actually, Gwen, it came out of the house as a bi-partisan sponsored bill

5:12 pm

nrkii

nice Dorens!

5:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nrkii, still sounds like a crap law! (and please don't assume i'm a dem just cuz i think W was rotten) 8-)

5:12 pm

nrkii

wow, Owl, this is where I get crazy about people who get so tied to tools, procedures, and rules that they lose sight of the actual business

5:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

in our first implementation we also had warehouse issues, with SAP not being able to recognize the same material stored in different locations

5:13 pm

nrkii

Gwen, I just don't think W could have thought it up, crap though it is, it's rather complicated crap :)

5:13 pm

periwinkle

help with in7 pls

5:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, no, i never said W thought it up, don't think thought anything up. but under his watch, so many laws passed that basically wrecked and racked everyone but the very rich

5:14 pm

nrkii

in my last job, because of SOX requirements, if a client came to us and said they had a project they wanted to do that day, and it was $50,000 of revenue, we would have to turn it down if we were really going to follow the rules

5:14 pm

lynxxx

in7 badges on uniforms are in****ia - finiesh with another vowel

9:21 pm

Atalante

awwwwww

9:21 pm

stidmama

AND have a HUGE draft of a paper due on Friday. or is it a draft of a HUGE paper due? Either way, I have barely started.

9:21 pm

Pinikula

lots of fluids (juices without acid)...

9:21 pm

Pinikula

hope he feels better soon!

9:21 pm

lbdawger

poor stidkid, and poor stidmama

9:21 pm

stidmama

and my meeting with the other orthopedist leads to "there's nothing obviously wrong structurally the only way to really see what's happening is arthroscopy" *sigh* NOT what I wanted to hear.

9:21 pm

Pinikula

...and * snapping whip * back to paper then to grid...

9:22 pm

Pinikula

...or is it the other way around: grid first, then homework?

9:22 pm

stidmama

yes, and black tea, and still has to take the antibiotic from last week.

9:22 pm

stidmama

so he is feeling just miserable, poor kid.

9:22 pm

lbdawger

try green tea, it's less acidic

9:23 pm

stidmama

oh well, he's young. We'll watch him closely tonight, if he is still feeling poorly tomorrow I will skip class and take him to the doctor unless Tom can take a second day off work.

9:23 pm

lbdawger

as long as he's keeping food down and in, it may just be seasonal flu or a cold.

9:23 pm

stidmama

Hadn't thought of green tea, will try that next pot -- trying to get his intestines to dry up, actually.

9:23 pm

Pinikula

I'd help, but I'm a bit far away...

9:24 pm

stidmama

that's okay pini -- if this is contagious, you don't want it!

9:24 pm

lbdawger

sending healing thoughts to stidkid

9:25 pm

10:57 pm

Jacula

Ata - thank Gawd for that. We had a sad moment yesterday though. I glanced into the sump end of the waterfall as I was going up the garden. Thought I saw what looked like a leg (animal kind) in there. Called Stepdaughter to come and look, too. Then went up to shed to get implements of restrieval out. It turned out to be the only hedgehog we've seen this year, took boh of us to lift the poor drowned thing out of a pond it should have beeen able to climb out of. It wass a 'fresh' corpse, so must have blundered into the small pool last night. The only explanation I can think og it that is was drunk on a neighbour's windfalll apples.
