hugo is a half breed like me and so ofcourse had to be neutered

1:25 am

rururocks

I need help on the di 6/27 if anyone has it.

1:25 am

rururocks

All of our pet dogs and rescues were all neutered andree.. no shame there. It is healthier for the males to be neutered.

jilli, do you have all the K words? I have a combo and one missing.

1:47 am

herinfernallady

I want to go to the apple store and go ner ner at them.

1:48 am

rururocks

1:48 am

jillibus

I have one K word, sprite :(

1:48 am

herinfernallady

Andree I am glad you didn't get flooded. YAH Hi Sprite.

1:48 am

sprite

hey I have become visible :) Thanks ruru.

1:48 am

jillibus

mine is ke4/8

1:48 am

rururocks

like pool table sticks with a k

1:48 am

jillibus

herin have you any idea where Lickety is?

1:48 am

sprite

plural and the one ruru clued, jilli

1:49 am

jillibus

ok, have them all now, ty sprite and ruru

1:49 am

sprite

Andree, glad it isn't worse in your area.

1:49 am

herinfernallady

No Idea Jill. Andree were is lickety?

1:51 am

Andree

no idea herin

1:52 am

jillibus

btw, gander is a phantom on geese day :(

1:52 am

sprite

not fair, is it jilli

1:53 am

jillibus

not a bit

1:53 am

herinfernallady

Andree Have you spoken to them at all I know that you are in their area

1:54 am

jillibus

herin, mrp was here earlier but seems to have disappeared

1:54 am

Andree

only via sms herin

1:54 am

jillibus

what's sms?

1:54 am

Andree

mrp was on a short time ago, said maddie was a lot better

1:54 am

sprite

well at least we know there is nothing big amiss then. Lickety will get to it when he feels like it and can spare the time. As long as they are all safe and well.

1:55 am

jillibus

where is Lickety?

1:55 am

Andree

text jilli

1:55 am

sprite

sms is text on mobile phone, jilli

1:56 am

Andree

i think it does everyone good to miss lickety, sometimes i get the feeling he is taken for granted

1:56 am

jillibus

oh -- I'm not into txt yet -- pobably never will be

1:56 am

Andree

its not as if he gets paid for doing the clues and he doesn't miss many days

1:56 am

jillibus

andree, Lickety is NEVER taken for granted!

1:57 am

Andree

jilli, i hardly text, it takes me ages

1:57 am

sprite

I know what you mean, Andree, like they have a right to his work or something like that. I don't use his service much, but I have to admit I like it when there is a list... the chat is better, usually ;)

1:57 am

Andree

he is by some jilli

1:58 am

herinfernallady

I don't care about the list. I was actually more concerned about Maddie and their family and if they got flooded. I was actually really concerned about their welfare not the silly list

1:58 am

jillibus

I absolutely depend on Lickety

1:58 am

Andree

me too jilli

1:58 am

gremlinn

I like it when there's no Lickety clues - it's more satisfying to solve it (somewhat) on my own.

1:58 am

sprite

we know, lady.

1:58 am

jillibus

herin, we also care about maddie and their well-being. The list is not silly.

2:01 am

herinfernallady

What I meant was silly as in silly as in grand scheme of things

2:01 am

jillibus

grem, you are on a different level from us ordinary mortals who need every crutch to solve the puzzle.

2:01 am

sprite

I am one of the old crew, gremlinn, I never use the list, except with very big grids when I cannot find my last few words. The only info we had back then was how many words started with a certain letter, not even from which tile they came... and that only when somebody took the time to post stats. I loved it... but most people who play now would hate it, I am afraid.

2:01 am

Andree

sydney does not flood really, the streets with flash floods run off very quickly and you can be really unlucky with low garages or a leaking roof so a lot of damage can ensue

2:01 am

joshuavorbis

hi and nbt

2:01 am

sprite

hi and gratz, josh

2:01 am

o-o

Phantom: chouseâ€

2:02 am

jillibus

and grem, I am extremely grateful to you for your posting of the list

2:02 am

gremlinn

I'm new, but not new to Boggle, so I don't need it if it's not available, but I still need to use it to finish first, if it's available.

2:02 am

Andree

mrp's house is on the high side of the street so they would be fine

2:02 am

herinfernallady

sorry I am not making sense

2:02 am

sprite

jilli, one way isn't better or worse than another. It isn't a shame to need the list, but it also isn't a shame to not need it or want it.

2:02 am

gremlinn

Ideally, it would be great to have Lickety's clues, but not available for the first 2 or 3 hours.

2:03 am

herinfernallady

Arrr you would think after 7 years of being with someone I would spell their name right

2:03 am

sprite

you do, lady, no worries. The list is good, but not anywhere near as important as the wellbeing of people. Right?

2:03 am

Andree

i agree,gremlin i never like to look too early

2:03 am

gremlinn

jilli: no problem, takes less than a minute to put it up

2:03 am

sprite

but gremlinn, we have a load of different timezones on babble. So that wouldn't work.

2:03 am

BiancaM

hey isn't goth a word?

2:04 am

jillibus

Speak for yourself, grem. If there were no list for 2 hours I would not stay here.

2:04 am

gremlinn

nope, but gothite is

2:04 am

jillibus

Proper noun, Bianca

2:04 am

sprite

I'd say yes, Bianca, but probably it needs a capital and is therefore not valid.

2:04 am

BiancaM

oh i see

2:04 am

BiancaM

thanks

2:04 am

Andree

its why i don't use expert, i am happy to take the extra time and if i don't finish, well its only a game!!

2:04 am

gremlinn

I don't understand, jilli - you couldn't just start later each day?

2:05 am

herinfernallady

I really don't like who himselves mother has got his name all confused

2:05 am

sprite

I do use the expert, but only for the brilliant chat/word-add function.

2:06 am

o-o

why should someone else other than Dr_God decide what is best for me?

2:06 am

sprite

lady, I never liked coffee until very lately, and my mother managed to ask me how I drank my coffee when I came to visit...

2:06 am

herinfernallady

What do you mean and Hello BabRab

2:07 am

sprite

nobody could, BabbleRabble. Not even drG, I bet. Glad to see you.

2:07 am

Andree

sometimes i would love a dose of whatever it is you have been imbibing babble, lol

2:07 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybdy. Reading over the chat, I guess I am just too lazy to learn how to use the lists (I've opened them, but have never succeeded in having two screens open at the same time -- computer idiot!), but getting as many words as I can + the clues in chat, is very satisfying, and my ranking creeps up, one point at a time. Also, the chat is what really counts.

2:07 am

o-o

people want to impose rules when there are none

2:07 am

sprite

morning rubyfoo

2:07 am

herinfernallady

HI Ruby

2:08 am

rubyfoo

and it feels like you peeps really care for one another!!

2:08 am

jillibus

Grem, I enjoy being here for the flip and greeting everyone. We all have different ways of enjoying this place, and I like to try for nbt and then get as many words as I can, then hit the list to fill in the gaps. I get the feeling that some people consider themselves superior because they don't need the list, and that's bothersome.

2:08 am

rubyfoo

hello sprite and lady. You have already helped me enormously over the past couple of weeks with my fright about poor Max!

2:08 am

Andree

hey we are supposed to be having fun!!!

2:08 am

sprite

well, for what it's worth, I think everybody plays as he or she enjoys the game. And as long as we can respect all ways and not just our own, it should work out fine.

2:09 am

joshuavorbis

some days, i have lots of time to babble. other days, i use the list to finish the grid

2:09 am

rubyfoo

I certainly don't feel superior, just laid back about whether or not I finish and, believe, me, if I get half, I am very happy!

2:09 am

jillibus

ruby, the solution to that is BabbleExpert, which I think we've explained to you. But if you don't need the list, that's fine.

2:09 am

sprite

that is what a community is about, I think, rubyfoo. To be there for eachother. For fun and for support, and whatever.

2:09 am

Andree

lots of days i don't finish and it doesn't bother me at all

2:10 am

herinfernallady

I just hope all is well in the Mr P and Lickety household

2:10 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure I need the list, but it's fun this way, too. And I am so happy when I find words.

2:10 am

rubyfoo

ALL days, I don't finish. Never come closer than 3/4.

2:10 am

gremlinn

I'm not saying the list is a bad idea - it might just be better if there was enough time for people to be able to realistically solve the puzzle before the list came up.

2:10 am

sprite

I always wonder why the mere mention of not using a list stirs up a dispute. It isn't really a shame not to need or use it. And that is not being superior. It is just another way to enjoy this game.

2:11 am

sprite

gremlinn, if you don't looko at the list, it doesn't matter now does it?

2:11 am

Andree

my day off tomorrow herin as i am staying home to "nurse" hugo so i will phone mrp

2:11 am

rubyfoo

I think the list is a great idea, but since I play this whenever I have a little (or a lot) of time, I am in and out all day.

2:11 am

joshuavorbis

i'm sure there are webpages where a babbler can solve the grid instantly if one is desperate to complete it

2:11 am

gremlinn

I do look at the list, if it comes up before I finish.

2:12 am

gremlinn

josh: yes, I know of at least two.

2:12 am

gran

How many words today please

2:12 am

joshuavorbis

so i don't think you could "stop" people from using a list to complete the puzzle

2:12 am

Andree

i am looking at your list right now grem, thank you

2:12 am

rubyfoo

grem lin, I have the time, but not the ability to finish the grids, but it doesn't matter; this is still great fun, especially when there are lots of c's and w's!

2:12 am

Andree

121

2:12 am

o-o

but gremlin, if I start with four hours left .. should the list be held in abeyance until I have a reasonable time to finish?

2:12 am

gremlinn

I know, but the people who use boggle solvers don't stick around, anyway - it gets too boring.

2:12 am

sprite

rubyfoo,, when this game started, almost nobody ever finished. It wasn't even known how many words it hid in total. Only after the lists appeared, it became more usual to finish grids. The way you play is a lot more relaxed, I think, than to force yourself to finish.

2:12 am

gran

Thanks

2:12 am

jillibus

Chacun Ã son gout. Anyway, I have to go to bed, lleaving 41 to find tomorrow if I have time. I also find morewords a great help and time-saver when I'm totally lost and the words are really weird.

2:13 am

gremlinn

I put up a suggestion of 2 or 3 hours after flip, not before.

2:13 am

Andree

i hate de words almost as much as re words

2:13 am

sprite

gremlinn, then theirs is another kind of game. Babble isn't made to serve everybody, just those who like the game :)

2:13 am

Andree

bye jilli, i love morewords

2:13 am

rubyfoo

forcing wouldn't work; I still couldn't. lol. I do, however, occasionally learn a babblet from the chat and make a note of it and sometimes actually use it again!

2:13 am

o-o

but it than is not the same for everyone

2:13 am

sprite

sleep well, jilli

2:14 am

gremlinn

Yeah, I wouldn't expect many cheaters to be here anyway - the point of cheating is to get people angry and see their reactions.

2:14 am

jillibus

why deprive people of the list if they want it? If they don't want it they don't have to look at it.

2:14 am

sprite

we don't have many of those, indeed, I think, gremlinn. Mostly it is a relaxed site.

2:14 am

gremlinn

So it's mainly seen at sites where you can see what words people have, or how many points the have, etc.

2:15 am

gremlinn

jilli: because I like finishing first.

2:15 am

rosalind230

Thats true Jillibus

2:15 am

sprite

lol it is like telling people televisions should be abolished, because they spend too much time sitting and watching.

2:15 am

rubyfoo

is it very cold in Holland, Sprite. It is bitterly cold here. That is too funny, grem! In Lexulous, there were people who used anagrams, but it was always obvious because they would win by 2000 pts and every body made fun of them.

2:15 am

sprite

gremlin, just don't look at the list if you don't want it!

2:15 am

rubyfoo

or no more eating sweet!

2:15 am

o-o

and I like rules that are fair for everyone

2:16 am

gremlinn

I do sometimes - but then I try to avoid chat entirely until I'm done, so I don't get too many spoilers of the hard-to-find words

2:16 am

sprite

yes rubyfoo, very cold. And still snowy. An oldfashioned winter if I ever saw one, lol.

2:16 am

rubyfoo

sleep well, jilli, my husband isn't interested in the Olympics, so I haven't seen any of it. :((

2:16 am

sprite

so do I, BabbleRabble.

2:17 am

jillibus

this is not a competitive game, grem, or a speed race, it's a cooperative one. Are you saying you don't want other people to have the list because they might beat you to the finish line?

2:17 am

rubyfoo

sometimes, the chat is my only possibility of finding the obscure, generally compound, long words. And, believe me, I am very grateful

2:18 am

gremlinn

they would beat me, yeah - I feel competitive at this kind of game

2:18 am

sprite

helping eachother when things are tough is one of the fun things of this site for me.

2:18 am

rubyfoo

Since we all play at different times, when we finish becomes less of an issue, no? In Lexulous, you are both playing against the clock AND against other people, so it's a different kind of competition. And the rankings here are a private gratification.

2:18 am

jillibus

Well, I don't think you have much to worry about, grem

2:19 am

o-o

I have an idea .... been nice knowing you.

2:19 am

sprite

as jilli said, gremlinn, this isn't a competitive game. We all have 24 hours to finish. And some people sleep during the first 7 or more hours, and they start later.

2:19 am

jillibus

I don't give a hoot about the rankings

2:19 am

Andree

no competition from me!!!

2:19 am

rubyfoo

is the words of Alfred E. Neuman (you are probably all too young), "What, me worry?" lol

2:19 am

sprite

can't remember even looking at the rankings, lol

2:19 am

rubyfoo

they are funny and slightly incomprehensible!

2:20 am

rubyfoo

now, I'll dig in. Jilli, don't be mad at me!!

2:20 am

jillibus

ruby, you KNOW *I'M* not too young for Alfred!

2:20 am

rubyfoo

hahah

2:20 am

sprite

well, it's been fun, and I am going to play a bit now and enjoy it. In my way. And more than willing to help out others if I can.

2:20 am

jillibus

I'm not mad at anyone, ruby!

2:21 am

rubyfoo

my big revelation came when ata explained the tile stats grid; up to then I was shooting in the dark

2:21 am

rubyfoo

good, thank you, lol, have a good sleep!

2:21 am

herinfernallady

Grid going to fast for me

2:22 am

jillibus

dart played this for years without going pro and still was fast at finising even without knowing the stats or how many words there were.

2:22 am

sprite

Ata is good at that. When I just started, she explained to me that the only cheating is looking up the actual words. All the rest is research, she said. Which made me feel better about using the clues in chat, grin... I was a bit uptight back then still.

2:22 am

rubyfoo

that's amazing

2:22 am

sprite

sleep well jilli

2:22 am

herinfernallady

then again I am still trying to shovel in dinner which is blar

2:22 am

sprite

dart is really fast. And doesn't impose his rule on anyone either.

2:23 am

jillibus

there is no cheating in this game because there is no advantage over anyone else to be had

2:23 am

rubyfoo

I've been playing since December and it is more and more fun, both as I remember babblets and get to know the peeps in the chat

2:23 am

sprite

poor lady... want a sandwich?

2:23 am

rubyfoo

you should see the cheaters in lexulous blitz!

2:23 am

jillibus

what for the ugh dinner, herin?

2:23 am

rubyfoo

or leftover borscht?

2:24 am

sprite

oh yes, remembering babblets is such a big help. And fun in its own way. I have this inner smugness when I spot haha or ywis.

2:24 am

jillibus

ruby, I don't play lexulous blitz -- I take days to finish a game with friends who can put up with that

2:25 am

sprite

so would I, jilli. I am too easily stressed with time limits.Goes with the neurological handicap and babble suits me just fine.

2:25 am

jillibus

this chat isn't getting me to bed!

2:26 am

herinfernallady

I think Borscht and sweetbread may taste better

2:26 am

Andree

thats cause we want you to stay and chat jilli

2:26 am

sprite

lol, no it isn't. Off with you, dear jilli, or you will have a tough day tomorrow. *hugs*

2:26 am

jillibus

see, I'm even slow about bedtime, and getting up in the morning

2:26 am

sprite

lol Andree, true. But we also want our jilli to be healthy and hale, right? ;)

2:26 am

rubyfoo

no, lexulous blitz is a four-minute game. Everybody starts with the same tiles and you get them all. There is only one minute between games. It's very hard, but not as hard as this!

2:27 am

rubyfoo

and the chat is too quick to be much beyond greeting your friends and making fun of the cheaters

2:27 am

jillibus

ok ok, I'm off, reluctantly -- happy babbling, all! *poof*

2:27 am

sprite

it would be way too hard for me, ruby, grin. I am the pitbull kind of gal. If I can dig in my teeth and keep going, all is well. If I have to hurry, I block.

2:27 am

rubyfoo

bye jilli, sweet dreams!

2:31 am

herinfernallady

Bye OSGMA

2:32 am

rubyfoo

?? lady, is that like the ORTBG?

2:32 am

sprite

I really really want gendarme. Even though I don't even know if it is an english word.

2:32 am

sprite

OverSeas GrandMa. We have a bit of adopted cyber families here, rubyfoo.

2:33 am

rubyfoo

what about gorm and goth, they are both rfacceptable UK dictionary scrabble words!!

2:33 am

rubyfoo

oh, could I be one please? No grandkids of my own!

2:33 am

herinfernallady

Jill is my overseas Grandma. I don't have one and I love listening to Jill stories

2:33 am

rubyfoo

and my son is 46, so it won't happen!

2:34 am

sprite

gorm I wouldn't know, but goth I can understand. It used to need a capital, as a proper noun. And enable is old. It doesn't even acknowledge internet.

2:34 am

Andree

di6 please

2:34 am

herinfernallady

Ruby yes you could but I know Jillie really well

2:34 am

sprite

stick around, rubyfoo, and it is bound to happen that somebody will adopt you or wants you to adopt him or her.

2:35 am

rubyfoo

no, I am still a newbie! Mustn't be presumptuous!

2:35 am

sprite

no joy there yet, Andree, but I will look

2:35 am

rubyfoo

I want gener, that's my phantom for today

2:35 am

rubyfoo

gender*

2:36 am

Andree

i have 7 grandkids ruby, would offer you 1 but i can't choose

2:36 am

sprite

ah, was wondering about gener. Yes, gender, and as jilli pointed out, gander would have been nice too on this goose th5 day.

2:36 am

rubyfoo

lol, andree

2:37 am

sprite

oh, a tiara, Andree?

2:37 am

rubyfoo

or dander?

2:37 am

herinfernallady

Sorry I am so into My Kitchen Rules right now.

2:37 am

sprite

for the di6 I mean, a tiara

2:38 am

Andree

thx sprite, you are so reliable

2:38 am

rubyfoo

beautiful clue!

2:38 am

herinfernallady

brb

2:38 am

sprite

it is team work, Andree. You just told me there is a di6.

2:43 am

meteor is another phantom for me

2:44 am

Right I am going to go and enjoy my self and play

2:44 am

enjoy, dear lady

rubyfoo

just checked my ranking, lol, and it went down since yesterday!!!! too funny

2:46 am

you might want to check gremlinn's profile, Bianca, though I am not sure if he made them.

2:46 am

Andree

i have never checked mine , i expect they are somewhere in the toilet

2:47 am

BiancaM

don't know ho wto check profile

2:48 am

BiancaM

i guss i'll just keep working at it

2:48 am

sprite

can't remember checking them. Can't remember caring either, lol.

2:48 am

sprite

Bianca, there is a rankings link on top of this page. If you go there and then use control F, you can search for the name and click on it, and that should open the profile for you.

2:51 am

sprite

I am finding this grid rather tough, for the 2nd half. I keep finding the same words over and over again.

2:54 am

BiancaM

yes for awhile words came quickly but now i seem to be stuck. Sometimes if i turn my headto the side or upside down i find another word.

2:54 am

sprite

lol now that is an idea! Did you manage to get the profile up?

2:54 am

Andree

me too, its those vowelsin one corner and consenants in another, having trouble putting them together

2:55 am

BiancaM

I didn't... perhaps becasue i have a mac the control f thing didn't work

2:55 am

sprite

oh no, that is true, and I don't know the command for the mac. Let me give you a link then, hold on.

2:56 am

Andree

just click on rankings and find gremlins then open it

4:37 am

My luck to get a kid that doesn't want babies, I'm reduced to begging strangers to share their babies.

4:39 am

Flask1

Oh dear......I do feel for you!.......my son was 30 before making me a g/m!

French tv is the worst!

their idea of funny is men with mustaches in skirts!

6:02 am

I get sucked in thinking it would be ok and nope. The only thing I have been sucked in by is Torchwood and then they stoped.

6:11 am

herinfernallady

I see another kid has been murdered at school. Sorry to busy having a rant at the tv and an eye twitch to boot

6:11 am

rubyfoo

is it sci fi? My guess is Not!

6:11 am

rubyfoo

eye twitch = supressed anger!

6:11 am

rubyfoo

rant in here, we can take it!

6:12 am

herinfernallady

Life on Mars is Scifi

6:13 am

Uneaixoise

i liked it too, herin!

6:13 am

herinfernallady

sorry it just pisses me off that another kid is dead but does that change the way schools opperate. No.

6:13 am

herinfernallady

Hey Une

6:13 am

rubyfoo

I'll look for it but doubt that they'll show it here as they are very whimsical in their choices, even with a satellite

6:13 am

rubyfoo

hi une

6:14 am

Uneaixoise

oohhh, it was originally a brit show -- forgot about that -- I meant the US version

6:14 am

Uneaixoise

hey ruby

6:14 am

lynxxx

hi Une

6:14 am

Uneaixoise

howdy, lynxxx :-)

6:16 am

Uneaixoise

just started watching a brit series, Survivors

6:16 am

Uneaixoise

on BBC America -- thought it was new but saw at the end that it came out a couple of years ago

6:16 am

rubyfoo

there's a great Canadian series, Flashpoint, but they run it very late here

6:17 am

rubyfoo

it's set in Toronto

6:17 am

lynxxx

Thats a bit harsh Infernal. What should schools be doing? employing security staff in the grounds and frisking kids down. There will be a lot of things to blame but surely won't all be the schools fault? Obviously not enough brotherly love taught at that Catholic school though

6:18 am

rubyfoo

my computer is making a funny noise, like there's a mouse caught in the hard drive.....

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Ok What i mean is the culture of bullying never changes. It goes on and on. I am still bullied in classes now. Its a joke.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

perhaps it's mouse-poered -- little treadmill etc.

6:18 am

Uneaixoise

ruby, that started out Canadian but was bought by CBS in US, right?

6:19 am

Uneaixoise

about everyone in the world collapsing at once and dreaming their future, right?

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I don't know, it's a Canadian production, just discovered it by accident when husband was surfing the channels and it's wonderful!

6:19 am

herinfernallady

And I feel really sorry for the teachers as they don't get paid enough to deal with all these kids and their problems.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

ach episode is as good as a feature-length movie (but shorter)

6:19 am

Uneaixoise

oh, wait, that's Flash Forward . . NM!

6:20 am

rubyfoo

hahah

6:20 am

rubyfoo

no, it's about a strategic poilice unit, usually hostage situations, but surprisingly well-acted

6:21 am

Uneaixoise

i see (via Wikipedia) that the DVD of the first season is available -- may have to check it out!

6:21 am

gramma

When you talk about schools and such, the bile and anger rise in me. I've always believed that schools should teach and the rest should be left to the parents.

6:22 am

gramma

Sex ed, drivers ed etc. are family matters. Do not help me raise my children. I'll raise them and you can supplement their education.

6:23 am

herinfernallady

I like the idea of Drivers ed. We dont have enough of that here.

6:24 am

gramma

I feel these programs usurp the parental rights and responsibilities.

6:25 am

lynxxx

Drivers Ed! not nowadays Infernal - what is it? 100 hours of L plate driving before you can get a licence - thats a heap!

6:25 am

rubyfoo

does anybody have the lonely o word?

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

ok4/8

6:26 am

gramma

o word sounds like what you'd put on an oxen

6:26 am

herinfernallady

I meant in school Lynxx. I know that a few schools have the actual classes but not many

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

almost like the Dust Bowl families of the 1930s

6:27 am

rubyfoo

ty une

6:27 am

rubyfoo

and gramma

6:27 am

Uneaixoise

yw :-)

6:27 am

lynxxx

Not all aprents are as good as you Gramma, and with both parents commonly working I think there is a place for schools to introduce some 'social' subjects

6:27 am

rubyfoo

even had to monkey that, couldn't see it

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

got that one right away but drawing a blank on the k's

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

oohhh, got one!

6:28 am

lynxxx

I realise you meant school Infernal but you are talking learning rules ony aren't you, not actual driving

6:28 am

rubyfoo

only have one, hints from off stage, mispelled

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

and it's plural!

6:29 am

Uneaixoise

tx ruby, got 'em all now!

6:29 am

Uneaixoise

*its

6:29 am

rubyfoo

that's not my one, mine's already plural :((

6:29 am

rubyfoo

what is yours, une

6:29 am

herinfernallady

I mean the actual classes in school. That 100 hours is with someone in the car or 120 whatever

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

ke4/8 is almost like shooting clay disks for target practice

6:30 am

gramma

I have the double vowel ones

6:31 am

rubyfoo

thanks une

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

yw!

6:31 am

rubyfoo

did you know those or get them by monkeying?

6:31 am

herinfernallady

or maybe I am just tired and cranky and really don't like going and dealing with society right now

6:31 am

lynxxx

what would those proposed classes actually entail Infernal?

6:32 am

rubyfoo

in France they require that people go to professional driving schools and it is so expensive that poor people wind up driving illegally

6:33 am

herinfernallady

My friends kid was taking them in Geelong

6:33 am

gramma

Why can't the parents teach it?

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I'm taking my first walk of the New Year as it's not so cold. My 88 yr old neighbor is putting me to shame! Wish me luck!

6:34 am

herinfernallady

Because parents pass on bad behaviour. This is about the rules and such

6:35 am

gramma

What do you mean, they pass on bad behaviour?

6:35 am

Uneaixoise

bonne chance, ruby!

6:35 am

gramma

Oh doh! They pass on their bad behaviour. I get it

6:35 am

rubyfoo

merci une!

6:36 am

lynxxx

They can here, in fact it is now almost compulsory because no-one could afford to take 100 hours of professional driving instruction! But most here would have at least 3-5 hours of professional driving instruction

6:36 am

gramma

Sorry I'm a little slow.

6:36 am

Uneaixoise

monkeyed those ke's!

6:36 am

rubyfoo

lol, une

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Yes. Like the idiot parent drinking her coffee, yaking on her mobile and teacher her daughter to drive on her learners. The daughter was caught speeding and not wearing a seatbelt

6:37 am

herinfernallady

I would be happy with the cost of the drivers licence including defensive driving course.

6:38 am

gramma

Remove all the stupid rules. Let the consequences fall where they may. Your car insurance goes thru the roof, the car gets wrecked whatever. Let Darwinism Live!

6:38 am

lynxxx

Good idea! substitute that for half of the compulsory hours

6:38 am

gramma

brb

6:39 am

It just irks me that $300 or about that for a piece of paper that enables you to drive.

6:46 am

Atalante

I have a question for you ...

11:41 am

FMitch

Ata!!!!!

11:41 am

Atalante

any americans / canadians here ...

11:41 am

Atalante

FM!!

11:41 am

Jeff7

help w/the so 6/24 please

11:42 am

Atalante

could you tell me just quickly what you understand by the word "estuary"

11:43 am

FMitch

'estuary' is the open mouth of a river more or less, isn't it?

11:43 am

FMitch

when it meets the sea

11:43 am

Atalante

yep. but you're not american, therefore you understand these things :P

11:43 am

hootowl

I believe where salt & fresh meet

11:43 am

hootowl

why?

11:44 am

FMitch

oh, hoot has added an extra layer already.

11:44 am

rururocks

it is generally a mix of sea and river water

11:44 am

hootowl

My picture is a sort of swampy area. fairly large

11:45 am

Atalante

because my friend is trying to tell me that americans think estuaries are reserves, nothing to do with where the river and sea meet. I'm trying to tell her she's talking crap :P

11:45 am

FMitch

She is talking crap

11:45 am

rururocks

many estuaries are reserves.. they are fragile wetlands

11:45 am

hootowl

she's talking crap. What the heck is a reserve supposed to be?

11:45 am

Judi

Good afternoon, all.

11:45 am

FMitch

However ......

11:46 am

hootowl

oh and hi!

11:46 am

Atalante

yes, a lot are (luckily). But they are estuaries first, reserves second

11:46 am

Judi

I thought the estuaries were next to the ovaries.

11:46 am

rururocks

estuaries can also be places where esthers go to rest.

11:46 am

JBV

checking in from New Jersey, Ata - confusion could be because estuaries are rich habitats and are prime targets for environmental preservation

11:46 am

hootowl

or exploitation

11:46 am

FMitch

If you see some of the huge rivers and their deltas and off shoots it could be possible

11:47 am

Atalante

ty ty hoot and ruru! and JBV, I think you're right. I was just horrified that she didn't get the concept of the estuary *then* having protection / environmental stuff on top

11:47 am

Judi

You'll just have to throw an encyclopedia at her, Ata.

11:47 am

rururocks

or an egret or something

11:48 am

FMitch

LOL Judi

11:48 am

hootowl

please you are just lucky it was us. Others might not know

11:48 am

Atalante

lol, that's why I asked here, to get some proper intelligent replies!!

11:48 am

rururocks

the classic estuary is Moss Landing California

11:48 am

Judi

The improper replies are just a bonus, because we like you!

11:48 am

congrats to all w ho got firewords

11:52 am

It's doable wht one of those "Got there in the end" grids.

11:55 am

FMitch

Will be back in a while.

11:55 am

Given the way Babblers are spread around the world, the holidays are kind of random too.

11:55 am

Awww... Well, farewell.

Hello, stidmama.

FMitch

((stid))

11:56 am

Vicuna

Bye, hootowl.

11:56 am

stidmama

I have decided to play a few minutes while I eat breakfast, but first the rant of the day...

11:56 am

wht

Hi stid

11:57 am

Vicuna

*raises blast shield*

11:57 am

stidmama

after asking Tom and the boys many times to be sure their ski gear was all in the car or easily found... stidkid#1 left his winter coat in the bedroom, which I found when I got up just now.

11:57 am

wht

{Ducks and covers}

11:57 am

stidmama

so. I don't know if he has "something" or if his father will be smart and make him sit in the lodge so he doesn't get cold.

11:58 am

stidmama

I am furious. They made it so clear that my interference wasn't wanted...

11:58 am

stidmama

*sigh*

*shrug*

11:58 am

Judi

Huh. Stiddad will probably buy him a new coat.

11:58 am

Vicuna

There's always something, isn't there!

11:58 am

ADHDWordLover

kids these days ..... hmmmm

11:58 am

stidmama

no, Tom won't buy him a new coat. we don't have money to replace things that aren't actually lost.

11:59 am

Judi

You should hide his coat and say, "I thought you had it."

11:59 am

stidmama

actually, I put it ON TOP of the pile of things in the corner of the room. IT was under the sweatshirt that the kid also didn't take.

11:59 am

Judi

Maybe they can hook him up with one from the lost and found. Most ski areas have them.

11:59 am

Vicuna

This is the point at which you firmly remind yourself that you can lead a proverbial horse to water, but...

12:00 pm

wht

So he either has to make do with the clothes he has or he sit's in the lodge all day.

12:00 pm

stidmama

yep. I am trying to calm down enough to work on schoolwork. I can't worry about this. in the great scheme of life, this is small stuff.

12:00 pm

Vicuna

... There's no point in your drinking the water for it.

12:01 pm

stidmama

blah. horse water. Have you SEEN that stuff???

12:01 pm

Vicuna

lol

12:02 pm

Judi

Mmmm. Horse drool.

12:02 pm

wht

We had a theory of mental development with our son. We came to think of his brain as a giant chunk of Swiss cheese.

12:02 pm

stidmama

so. how about the rest of you? staying warm? playing nicely with each other? NOT running with scissors?

12:02 pm

Vicuna

Holey? Pungent? Melts well? Apt to mold?

12:02 pm

Judi

Pffth. We've been running with snow shovels here.

12:03 pm

wht

We could tell him things and fight with him about things to no avail. Then one day, one of the holes would fill in and he would just get it.

12:03 pm

Vicuna

Available for $5.99 a pound?

12:03 pm

stidmama

rofl wht! sounds about right...

12:03 pm

stidmama

still, Judi? haven't you-all got things sorted out yet?

12:03 pm

wht

Unfortunately, we could never develop the patience to wait for the holes to fill.

12:03 pm

Vicuna

The main hole in my kids' brains goes right straight between the two ears, the better to ignore what I say!

12:04 pm

featherbee

good afternoon lovely people!

12:04 pm

Judi

I think that's pretty common among teenagers. Airheadedness abounds.

12:04 pm

periwinkle

because of Presidents

12:04 pm

Vicuna

Hello, featherbee!

12:04 pm

stidmama

hello feathery one! how are you? how are the kiddos?

12:04 pm

Vicuna

12:05 pm

periwinkle

Presiden'ts Day here in the USA I was unable to buy root beer vodkay :( also could not return books to library

12:05 pm

stidmama

12:05 pm

periwinkle

Vodka even :) altho vodkay has a nice ring to it

12:05 pm

rururocks

12:05 pm

Judi

Sounds like something Crossy would make.

12:06 pm

periwinkle

yes it is delish by itself and with root beer soda it is really great

12:06 pm

stidmama

I see "vodka" got ruru's attention!

12:06 pm

wht

Hi is 21.

12:06 pm

stidmama

12:06 pm

Most of the holes have filled in by now.

12:06 pm

Jeff7

12:07 pm

stidmama

oh, I have so many YEARS ahead before they reach fully legal maturity. *sigh*

*gets ready to shovel cheese for a few years*

12:07 pm

periwinkle

reaaly, that is interesting, Jeff

12:07 pm

Jeff7

he also made his own absinthe....

12:08 pm

Vicuna

*no sympathy for stidmama. I'm only a third of the way there!*

12:08 pm

Jeff7

his next project is making homemade mead

12:08 pm

stidmama

the pretty-colored vodka sounds okay... not sure about absinthe.

12:08 pm

Vicuna

Yikes, Jeff7! And I thought my brothers were dangerous for experimenting with explosives! lol

12:08 pm

wht

Stid, I just wish that we had developed more patience and perspective when he was younger.

12:08 pm

wht

Maybe it just took this long for the holes to fill in in our brains.

12:09 pm

stidmama

I am trying, wht... and he is trying my patience!

12:10 pm

wht

I understand stid.

12:10 pm

stidmama

need the Y for NBT please? just passed halfway.

12:10 pm

stidmama

12:10 pm

Vicuna

ye4/11 - looks like weirdo spelling of sound of disgust

12:10 pm

Vicuna

More than once my wife asked me to remind her how bad she would look in an orange jump suit.

12:12 pm

yes, Tom and I trade off, for sure.

12:12 pm

My husband never seems to lose patience ever. It drives me crazy! lol

12:13 pm

FMitch

Such a lucky thing to have Vi :)

12:13 pm

wht

I want patience and I want it now!!!!!

12:13 pm

Vicuna

Of course, he's gracious enough to acknowledge that he spends a lot less time with the kids and isn't in charge of nagging them as much, but it is just his personality really.

12:13 pm

Vicuna

lol, wht

12:14 pm

periwinkle

I could use a dose of patience too, lack of patience is my one flaw :-)

12:14 pm

FMitch

Vi you are blessed with a good relationship then

12:14 pm

stidmama

I think it's both, Vi... if he were home ALL The time he'd be more prickly. But for some reason in our family the patient parent had the greater earning power.

12:14 pm

Vicuna

Yep. I am.

12:14 pm

FMitch

Hi peri

12:14 pm

stidmama

and here I am caught up in the chat. that I started.

12:15 pm

wht

The place were we both came close to losing it was when we would get his report card and he would say, "I don't see why you are so upset. A D *is* a passing grade."

12:15 pm

periwinkle

hi FM!

12:15 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, my salary when I was working full time wouldn't have bought a garage in the Boston area. But also Dave had no desire or inclination to stay home with kids - especially not babies. I thought I'd be better at it! lol

12:15 pm

meliae

ok hmm I guess ye 4/6 are what you say you did when you are very drunk, and you hugged the porceline god? LOL, hello everyone

12:15 pm

FMitch

Enjoy your children and and husband sidddy!

12:16 pm

stidmama

oh no wht! sounds like our younger son with his last report card. He knows we don't care about the "grade" -- so between tone of voice and posture, he is resisting our "upsetness" over his lack of actually doing the work!

12:16 pm

Vicuna

Hello, meliae.

Junior high scores are taken into account when they look at what classes to put you in high school at least here they are, and can determine if you can take college accredited classes

Poor Daniel. Poor featherbee.

12:22 pm

2:24 pm

ADHDWordLover

candles to mask the smell

2:24 pm

babbz

lol good one. I'm counting the days till my 18 y.o. daughter goes off to college. She takes about 3 showers a day, or so it would seem, and must go through 20 towels a week....I can't keep up!

2:24 pm

ADHDWordLover

my hubs is doing laundry as we speak

2:24 pm

babbz

That's the spirit, Min! I just can't seem to get motivated lately!

2:25 pm

babbz

oh bless his heart - though it could be a major laundry disaster if mine did ours!

2:25 pm

ADHDWordLover

i had to train him after my whites turned pink

2:25 pm

babbz

he'd be wearing pink underwear for sure!

2:26 pm

babbz

yes, that's happened here, too!

2:26 pm

ADHDWordLover

and my pink swtshirt turned a murky color after being washed w/new jeans

2:26 pm

babbz

but the 18 y.o. is worse than her dad. she throws everything together - doesn't matter what color or who it belongs to! You finally say, thanks but no thanks!

2:27 pm

pugmama763

I'd like GE5 for fireworks please

2:29 pm

babbz

That is great ADHD - but my brain dead daughter doesn't seem to have a knack for laundry, even though I've trained her so many times. SHE is ADHD, lol, and has no patience with laundry. Hence she waits until she's got about 10 loads and then just shoves everything together - makes chaos in my laundry room, too

2:30 pm

periwinkle

yay for hego!!

2:30 pm

We have a totally ADD household, which is why it is often such chaos and easier to shut the door.

2:31 pm

ADHDWordLover

wtg pug congrats

2:33 pm

ADHDWordLover

i've got ADD kids, one not too bad; the younger one married an ADD girl and they have 3 ADD kids! THAT's a chaotic house, but I spent years in ADD counseling and learned disciplines, etc and it's helped so much;

2:33 pm

babbz

Someone once defined ADHD as not paying your bills even though you have the money.

2:33 pm

ADHDWordLover

my daughterinlaw would ratherr complain incessantly that get help

2:33 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations hego on your fireworks! Good for U!

2:34 pm

ADHDWordLover

ADDers are notoriously poor money managers

2:34 pm

babbz

I have 3 ADHD kids as well - one is now a police officer and working on his Masters, but let me tell you, that was rough when he was a kid. All three took medicine, I probably have ADD too, and you do learn to cope.

2:34 pm

ADHDWordLover

and time managers

2:34 pm

babbz

I know. But mostly time managers.

2:34 pm

ADHDWordLover

it's easier to deal with it as an adult that a kid... we respond better to rationale

2:35 pm

ADHDWordLover

i'm off to finish my movie... any clues before i leave?

2:36 pm

babbz

You are right. Just getting the kids out of school is an accomplishment. They all have great personalities, can deal with people, good humor, nice looking, but school was the pits.

2:36 pm

Minveryork

Adios ADHDWordLover!I will see you tomorrow maybe

2:36 pm

babbz

3:53 pm

i'm wondering how a ye 4/11 works when the y is worth 3 points already... then if you add three letters to that it would make it at least a 4/12

3:53 pm

PAV3

44

3:53 pm

PAV3

ye4 11 and ye6 42

3:54 pm

Rows

yeah i see those listed, i just don't get how a ye 4/11 is possible

3:54 pm

Rows

it's one point shy of what it has to be

3:54 pm

Rows

since each letter is worth at least one point, and the y is already 3 points

3:54 pm

PAV3

the remaining three tiles only need to have 8 points...

3:54 pm

Rows

oh

3:54 pm

the ye6 is the past tense of ye4

3:59 pm

yeah, think of an african country but it has an extra vowel...

3:59 pm

Rows

the last three letters are also a man's name

4:00 pm

jillibus

I do object to the first me6/24 -- it's a plural of a plural, like when Larry King said "phenomenas"

4:00 pm

PAV3

ah...the beginning of Campbell's so in a can and Mr. Rather...

4:00 pm

Rows

jilli, agreed

4:00 pm

Rows

yes

4:01 pm

PAV3

wouldn't that have been phenomenae

4:01 pm

jillibus

phenomena is the plural of phenomenon

4:01 pm

jillibus

Greek origin

4:03 pm

PAV3

and medium is Latin, so combined it's a mess!

4:05 pm

jillibus

I think the so6 is the way the French spell the African country

4:07 pm

mirandapan

Hi, Jilli--that me 6 is not pertaining to the tv, etc., industry is the plural of an anatomical term.

4:07 pm

mirandapan

different word group

4:08 pm

PAV3

but one clicks on the ?, it takes you to the defin for media...

4:09 pm

mirandapan

Yes--the me 5 Jilli refers to is Latin; the me 6 is Greek plural for anat. term.

4:10 pm

jillibus

I went to the ?, miranda

4:11 pm

mirandapan

Did you scroll down? It's not among the first defs.

4:11 pm

jillibus

yes I did -- will do again to see the Greek info

4:12 pm

PAV3

me6 builds from the Latin medius

4:13 pm

PAV3

Latin is the foundation for the romance languages, SPanish, Italian, german, greek, portugese

4:14 pm

Vicuna

(SPanish and Italian are indeed Romance language descended from Latin. Greek and German are not. Latin, Greek and Germanic languages are all in the Indo-European family.)

4:15 pm

mirandapan

here is what I'm looking at--no giveaway since the word has already been given here:

4:15 pm

well, sort of, but happy to join the others who already put this word in the chog. Hope to find leftover Valentine candy there.

4:17 pm

jillibus

I see what you mean, miranda, but also see what Pav says -- the Latin pl of medius would be me6. I couldn't believe a Latin ending to a Greek word, but I see me5 merely describes a sound in Greek.

4:17 pm

4:21 pm

PAV3

as i mentioned before,could be another chicken/egg question

4:21 pm

mirandapan

Oh--just one more thing--me 5 would be the fem., not the pl. of Latin medius--as in emeritus, emerita (which is what I am)

4:22 pm

PAV3

The border between France and Germany was more or less the border between the Romance-speaking West and the Germanic-speaking East. Prior to the division of the Frankish empire, the language name â€œFrankishâ€ meant the local language as distinct from Latin, and quite different languages may have passed under that name. As a result, until today both a Romance language, French, and a couple of High German dialects, Franconian (FrÃ¤nkisch), carry a name derived from â€œFrankishâ€. The word was no longer unique, and another word had to be found for the vernacular of the Germanic East. The new word for the purpose was diutisc with the meaning â€œbelonging to the peopleâ€. It derives from a Germanic root meaning â€œpeopleâ€ (e.g. Old English Ã¾eod) which is now lost in most languages (but compare Icelandic Ã¾jÃ³Ã°). Interestingly, the oldest preserved mention of diutisc occurs in Latin texts of the 9th century where it appears as a Germanic loanword theodiscus borrowed into Latin; it denoted the local vernacular as distinct from Latin. In some instances it appears even as a Latin translation for Germanic frencisg then still having its original meaning. At the end of the 11th century, the word diutisc is applied for the first time to both the language and the country and slowly gets more and more into use.

hurshy

6:47 pm

hurshy

as in, dancing with flashing in it?

6:48 pm

hurshy

at least that's better than if they were whipping each other with lashes...

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

as in flash mob, mob which gathers when summoned via twitter to show up and do something.

6:48 pm

hurshy

oh, that's better than both

6:49 pm

hurshy

i am relieved

6:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

nrkii

6:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

this grid is twisty

72 Temple Owl

6:56 pm

hurshy

how do you know if you don't have them?

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am falling asleep, lot's walking today!

6:56 pm

hurshy

they might all be weird.

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

because i just got the list and when they are between two known words there are only so many possibilites

6:57 pm

nrkii

there are some very strange words Owl

6:57 pm

nrkii

Oh, Owl, by the way, I found out last night that "broiled" grapefruit can be done in the microwave too

6:57 pm

hurshy

broiled grapefruit?!?!?!

6:58 pm

nrkii

I was feeling lazy

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

nice!

6:58 pm

nrkii

recipe is in my profile hurshy... very very yummy

6:58 pm

nrkii

better under broiler than in microwave, but pretty damn good in microwave

6:58 pm

hurshy

but i don't like grapefruit

6:58 pm

nrkii

I just used brown sugar for the microwave version

6:59 pm

nrkii

then you probably wouldn't like it hursh

6:59 pm

nrkii

you could try oranges, if you like them

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

just brwon sugar on them?

6:59 pm

nrkii

I might try that at some point

6:59 pm

nrkii

for the microwave version, I just used brown sugar

6:59 pm

nrkii

it combined with the juice from the fruit, and made a nice syrup

7:00 pm

hurshy

i had almost vegan lunch at a vegetarian restaurant today. tomato couscous soup, vegan bread, mango lemonade, and a vegan chocolate cupcake. but i put butter on the bread.

7:00 pm

nrkii

I have had 1 vegan meal in my life, and I never ever want to repeat that experience

7:01 pm

hurshy

this was very good, very filling... i felt like it was hard to believe it had been healthy, i felt more like i had indulged. could really have skipped the cupcake.

7:01 pm

nrkii

if I remember correctly, I went out an hour later and got a cheeseburger sub

7:01 pm

bichon

I'm with you nrkii. I love my veggies, but I couldn't live without real pizza

7:01 pm

hurshy

the bread they make at this place is REALLY good.

7:01 pm

bichon

I remember the Christmas dinner my d.i.l. cooked us, an "unturkey"

7:02 pm

nrkii

vegetarian I can handle, in moderation... though I'd gorge on pasta and gain 20 pounds in about a month

7:02 pm

hurshy

yeah, overall in life, i cannot live without cheese.

7:02 pm

nrkii

ugh, if you're going to go vegetarian, skip the unturkey and just make a veggie lasagna (see? pasta)

7:03 pm

nrkii

I can't go without meat/cheese/dairy (ice cream and butter)

7:03 pm

nrkii

I mean I could, but ... I'd be miserable without chicken and beef and eggs

7:03 pm

hurshy

i agree in one way, better to make the best of veggie stuff than have bad substitutes... but it's the bad substitutes that lead to better substitutes and eventually there will be really good substitutes, and then we can all eat really healthily without much of a sacrifice!

7:05 pm

nrkii

oops, just noticed the time.. must run

7:05 pm

nrkii

have a great night all!

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

i found that for me, a high protein diet works well. better than vegetarian.

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

night nrk!

7:06 pm

hurshy

i have high cholesterol so i have to try to lower it.

7:07 pm

hurshy

plus i have animal ethics concerns, so while i don't eliminate meat from my diet altogether, i do try to at least minimize it to a level where if that were the norm, it would be sustainable without the horrible factory farming we have now.

7:09 pm

hurshy

and then there are the environmental/energy factors, social justice factors...

7:09 pm

lunadog8

evening all! Anyone have a clue for the de 7/36? Not the lowering rank one.

7:10 pm

hurshy

why a doornail, dickens didn't know. he would have thought a coffin-nail was the de7 piece of ironmongery.

7:10 pm

hurshy

but he didn't want to doubt the wisdom of his ancestors.

7:11 pm

hurshy

anyway, the main point is that marley was de4.

7:11 pm

hurshy

if that is not entirely clear, then there is nothing particularly wonderful about the story that follows.

7:12 pm

Bugsaw

good clue hurshy

7:12 pm

hurshy

anytime you can involve dickens, it's bound to be a good clue.

7:13 pm

Bugsaw

any time you can quote Dickens, it shows you memory is intact

7:14 pm

lunadog8

took me awhile but I got it! thanks!

7:14 pm

hurshy

oh, that wasn't quoting, that was doing my best. if i were sure of the exact phrasing, i'd have used it and put it in quotes. i really ought to memorize that beginning bit but haven't. i love that bit.

7:16 pm

Bugsaw

I think you are still doing well.

7:17 pm

hurshy

well i ought to be, i'm not old or anything.

7:17 pm

lunadog8

one more clue for fireworks --- how about me 6/27? Not the cat one or the extension of me 5/14.

7:18 pm

hurshy

start like the news but end with the commercials.

7:19 pm

lunadog8

ok, got that one. I think I'm missing one more me 6/27 though...

7:20 pm

hurshy

there are only 3 me6/27.

7:20 pm

Shirlockc

pt of the me5

7:20 pm

Shirlockc

sorry pt of the me4

7:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

bugs i am loving seeing bc, it is beautiful

7:20 pm

lunadog8

Thank you!! Dang those twisty ones :-)

7:20 pm

hurshy

oh you said you HAD the extension of the 5/14. sorry. so you need the one where we had good synergy, we me6 well together.

7:21 pm

hurshy

but you got it.

7:21 pm

hurshy

yay

7:21 pm

lunadog8

thanks to all! Great clues.

crosshair

7:32 pm

7:32 pm

Trifioso

JEALOUS.....

7:32 pm

lbdawger

amazing talent at the olympics. just wish nbc would share the world's view and not just the miopic viewpoint of nbc

7:32 pm

crosshair

ctv is also our preference

7:32 pm

Trifioso

crossy, you have changed your icon!

7:32 pm

crosshair

just for now trif

7:33 pm

Bugsaw

are you watching all the kerfuffle over the broken zamboni and how it is disrupting the racing? I am embarrassed.

7:33 pm

Trifioso

I wonder - does anyone else find themselves saying "ouch ouch ouch" as they watch the mogul ski competitors? oh, their knees!!!!

7:33 pm

Scrabbler

I am watching that on CTV now--embarrassing

7:34 pm

lbdawger

((((crossy)))) didn't realize your loss.

7:34 pm

crosshair

tyvm ibd

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, did your cat die, Crossy?

7:34 pm

crosshair

im sure if everyone relaxes,they will get a zamboni going...

7:34 pm

Trifioso

oh, crossy - I just realized why you changed your icon....so very, very sorry

7:34 pm

crosshair

yes she did scrabbs

7:35 pm

Bugsaw

They spent all that money on a state of the art facility and used a piece of junk to clean the ice .... heavy sigh

7:35 pm

crosshair

tyvm trif

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

sorry crossy i know you shall miss you kitty.

7:35 pm

lbdawger

zamboni...what a fun word and a funny word!

7:35 pm

crosshair

the colon cancer just ate her insides up,she went from healty cat to having to put her down in a month or so

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, Monkey Cat...was she comfortable, Cross?

7:35 pm

Bugsaw

crossy the problem is it melted the ice and that will take a long time to refreeze

7:35 pm

crosshair

tyvm red

7:36 pm

Bugsaw

Oh crossy! how sad for you all

7:36 pm

Trifioso

isn't that what zamboni's are supposed to do?

7:36 pm

crosshair

she is in a better place now bugsaw

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

It is SO tough to lose a beloved pet!

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

the zamboni smooths the ice but I dont think it can freeze it any better.

7:36 pm

crosshair

indeed scrabbs

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

I want to be a speedskater.

7:37 pm

lbdawger

she will be welcomed by all the other beloved pets across the rainbow bridge.

7:37 pm

crosshair

a zamboni melts a thin layer of ice and spreads the water in a fine layer to refreeze and fill in gouges and cracks

7:37 pm

Trifioso

my minister used to repeat a nice poem - when I get to heaven/first thing I'm gonna do/is grab myself a fishing pole/and whistle for Old Blue....

7:37 pm

crosshair

key word is thin layer lol

7:37 pm

lbdawger

i want the body of a speedskater...or maybe just ohno's body next to me! :)

7:38 pm

Scrabbler

Apolo! What a hunk!

7:38 pm

redturtlehead

me too Scrabbs...I want to feel the whoosh.

7:38 pm

welki

hi, folks (lb! you vixen!)

7:38 pm

stidgmere

I think the moguls would be good except for the two fancy leaps into the air. Of course, I would never walk again normally after one run.

7:38 pm

lbdawger

Hi welki! (yeah, don't tell hubz)

7:38 pm

Scrabbler

The whoosh of skating or of Apolo next to you?

7:38 pm

Trifioso

All I know is that I am 100% likely to fall right on my buttsky right after the zamboni finishes a rink, guaranteeing I will be soaked.

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

Hi stidg

7:39 pm

welki

here comes jeremy .. race 1 ... let

7:39 pm

lbdawger

i'd be whooshed with Apolo next to me!

redturtlehead

skating, I think Apolo is nice, but...

7:39 pm

crosshair

mmm..women speed skater tushies....

7:39 pm

Trifioso

I laugh imagining what my mogul time would be....45 minutes? and hour?

7:39 pm

lbdawger

hi stidg

7:39 pm

Trifioso

picture them covered with bacon, crossy.....

7:39 pm

crosshair

7:40 pm

welki

hot dog! i was hoping so much that he'd grown up since last olympics .. and he's now in 1st place!

7:40 pm

redturtlehead

Welki, we are seeing different coverage!

7:40 pm

lbdawger

i saw a dessert with bacon in it. chocolate mousse, peanut butter granache and bacon. looked really good, and duff goldman said it was to die for.

7:41 pm

welki

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

Welki, I am watching CTV here

7:41 pm

7:41 pm

redturtlehead

nbc is all i can get..

7:41 pm

welki

^5 Scrabs!

7:41 pm

stidgmere

We can go on the Vancouver Olympic web site and pick up who is running or performing in the different events. There are some videos but sometimes it is just a simulation of the event.

7:41 pm

lbdawger

shoot those mogul skiers can take a run down our main streets for bumps and thumps

7:42 pm

Bugsaw

moguls are bone jarring fun red. When I was young and wild, they were my favourite

7:42 pm

Bugsaw

the skating is back on again.

7:42 pm

redturtlehead

cool bugs, i have been afraid to go down hill ever!

7:42 pm

Shirlockc

di7?

7:42 pm

Trifioso

okay, have to share what is hands down my favorite olympic story: picture it -- junior year of high school, 1982. I am sitting in an ass-numbingly dull Ancient History lecture, and our teacher is describing how the original Olympics got started, and how, in ancient Greece, the Olympics were held in the nude, to celebrate the beauty of the idyllic male form. The class joker behind me yells out "oh gross! The bobsled!" Chaos ensued.....still makes me laugh.....

7:42 pm

kje

OMG LBD!!! excellent one tonight.. made me choke on my tortilla - LOL

7:43 pm

welki

well, the prediction that the speedskating ice would lead to bad times is out the window .. they're better than before

7:43 pm

lbdawger

di6 instead, shirl, ***monds are a girls best friend + not republicans but ***ocrats

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

Ha, Trif

7:43 pm

crosshair

Scrabbler

lbdawger

7:48 pm

redturtlehead

7:48 pm

stidgmere

7:48 pm

Trifioso

amen red, amen! enough with the filler, get to the freaking sports already!

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

7:49 pm

kje

7:49 pm

Trifioso

yes, and thanks for only showing the medal ceremonies between 2 and 3 am nbc....

7:49 pm

stidgmere

7:50 pm

welki

*singing* i won't grow up, i won't grow up, i don't want to go to school, i don't want to go to school, just to learn to read and write and obey some silly rulessssssssss*

7:51 pm

redturtlehead

I think that they did a better job on the SUmmer Olympics...

7:51 pm

Bugsaw

Trif I think the gymnastics man with the broken leg was Japanese. I watched that and have never forgotten what it took for him to keep his legs straight and then land on them. guts

7:51 pm

welki

if you want a response from the network, it'd be quicker for you all to move to canada

7:51 pm

Trifioso

I think I associate peter pan with sandy duncan....

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

*sigh* KJE

7:51 pm

redturtlehead

lbdawger

7:53 pm

Trifioso

scary stuff, kje!!!

7:54 pm

stidgmere

So does he get to be in the study or not Kje? Hard for him to judge the usefulness of any course of action. Glad he got conscious.

7:54 pm

lbdawger

im so impressed with you medical people. the things you go thru day to day

7:54 pm

kje

yes, he is fine... just coughed so hard he stopped breathing for a sec, and triggered a vaso-vagal response... he was fine as soon as he woke up

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

Red, when I finally realized that--patients arriving DOA--I relaxed about the codes

7:54 pm

kje

it was just kinda funny cuz I wasn't there as a doc... didn't even have my stethoscope... was just there to consent him for a study

7:54 pm

Andree

hi everyone

7:54 pm

redturtlehead

It was a paperwork pain, but the worry was just not there.

7:55 pm

lbdawger

hi andree

7:55 pm

Trifioso

andreeeee!!!! welcome!

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

Except with kids it is brutal emotionally for all involved..telling the parents...the worst

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Andree

7:55 pm

kje

LOL scrab! yes, they can be quite inconvenient

7:55 pm

lbdawger

well, i hope the hospital doesn't lose him in the paperwork.

7:55 pm

redturtlehead

with kids there is never a true DOA where you do stuff...

7:55 pm

kje

re: most inappropriate time I mean

7:56 pm

Trifioso

not sure I am loving the spray painted day-glo snow job at this olympics.....

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, I sent him to the Medical examiner. and did a lot more paperwork than I wanted to.

7:57 pm

kje

yes... death in route or in the field is a pain... for the family too due to the whole ME thing

7:57 pm

Andree

i guess most of you are watching the olympics, we get the highlights at 9.30 at night so disappointing, foxtel was offering 4 channels for $50 dedicated 24 hours and stupid me thought i would see enough on t v channels, the worst $50 i didn't spend... I am so mad with myself

7:58 pm

lbdawger

my mom died IN the hospital, and they still managed to lose her and her paperwork.

7:58 pm

kje

we try to preempt that for our geri patients. the police will call, and we'll tell them the death was expected and we'll sign off on it

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

He didnt have an MD willing to sign the certificate. It is always sad when someone passes.

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

LBD that is awful!

7:58 pm

kje

how LBD? that is almost impossible

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

sorry Andree, our coverage is not what we would expect either...

7:58 pm

kje

that is sad, red

7:58 pm

Trifioso

andree, we were not given that option this time around, and I wonder how people feel about it. I could not have gotten the full coverage, but the spotty coverage is just so inadequate

7:59 pm

lbdawger

yes it was, red. My poor dad was already traumatised, and then they say she was sent to the funeral home. the funeral home said, nope, they didn't have her.

7:59 pm

kje

i tell my students if they ever get to the point where someone dying does NOT affect them, they need to quit medicine

7:59 pm

stidgmere

Well enough words for me tonight. Ill leave some for another time. Hope your evenings go well and you stay strong and happy.

7:59 pm

Trifioso

oh my dear lbd, that is just horrible!!! I am so sorry

8:00 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, I probably need to quit.

8:00 pm

kje

usually everyone is signing off, lbd, so should have been able to track... I am sorry that happened

8:00 pm

lbdawger

all in all, the hospital of course had mom in the morgue, and the paperwork was sitting on some judiciarys desk due to crossing county lines!

8:00 pm

kje

doesn't have to flatten you, but should always make you pause... it is a life

8:00 pm

Andree

at least you have an excuse trif, i had the option and didn't take it.. as i live with daughter and we share expenses i could have had it all for $25

8:01 pm

redturtlehead

indeed. I always wonder about the person...

8:01 pm

Trifioso

goodnight stigmere

8:01 pm

lbdawger

night night, stidg

8:01 pm

kje

night stidge

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

good night stidgm

8:02 pm

Andree

i won't enter death conversation, i am like red a trained nurse and though its been many years since i nursed i still saw much death thats not even counting friends and family

8:03 pm

lbdawger

Death of humans doesn't bother me. I'm sad for their passing, but it doesn't tear me up like it does when i see an animal hurt or roadkilled.

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

Olympics is more interesting!

8:04 pm

kje

red - today a patient told me he was a new diabetic only because they lowered the limit for diagnosis... this as the RN is sticking him, so I ask her, what is it? 190 she says... I started laughing and told him that is a diabetic by any definition.... it is funny what ideas people get in their heads

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

Ok is it me, or has this grid been essentially not too difficult...

8:04 pm

lbdawger

okay, topic change! Montana's weather is so weird! on the west we have 37Â°F weather, on the east of the mountains, they are below zero!

8:04 pm

kje

it is you lbd

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

I had a patient scream at me because her sugar was 97, and not 220....

8:05 pm

kje

i thought it was OK at first... then I got down to around 20 left... grantyed, most were brain farts, but still...

8:05 pm

kje

she thought it was too low?

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

I am down to 35, started about at 8:20 or 7:20 by the time clock here.

8:05 pm

lbdawger

yeah, grid wasn't overly difficult today. just perfect! after the last couple.

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

She thought kje that we were lying to her.

8:06 pm

Trifioso

kje, my mom used to tell us stories that flipped my wig on an almost daily basis. the stuff people believe indeed! one memorable one was a 17 year old girl that was basically the town pump, but didn't use birth control, because when she was 4 she had fallen down some stairs, and her little Italian grandma had told her she would never have children because of that. geesh!

8:06 pm

lbdawger

brb, need some tea

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

She had a bit of several other disgnosis.

8:06 pm

kje

LOL red!!! I can almost hear that

8:06 pm

kje

poor thing, trif! wonder if that affected her promiscuity

8:07 pm

redturtlehead

heds

8:07 pm

redturtlehead

oops

8:07 pm

redturtlehead

did she have kids trif>

8:07 pm

Bugsaw

Trif that girl probably had another diagnosis too. lol

8:07 pm

kje

nada red... no worries

8:07 pm

Trifioso

absolutely kje! she figured she was free to run wild, as she couldn't get pregnant. Guess what? WRONGO gramma!

8:07 pm

Jeff7

first de 4/6 please....

8:08 pm

Trifioso

or should I say "great gramma?"

8:08 pm

Andree

laughing at description of town pipe , an aussie saying is "town bike'

8:08 pm

kje

but more than that.. I wonder if it affected her self-worth... in that era, I bet if you couldn't have kids you figured "who would want me"

8:08 pm

redturtlehead

jeff, I have not alive...

8:08 pm

Andree

8:11 pm

stidmama

I managed today to write (very little of any use though), get dirt under my fingernails without hurting my hip (20 minutes, felt lovely), make lasagne, wash dishes, and re-organize my binder for school. Tonight, a note to a faculty member and more reading.

8:11 pm

stidmama

kje, may I come live with you? when you thaw out that is...

8:11 pm

redturtlehead

I had a migraine at work, and threw up mid shift (ambulance fumes)...so toast and tea now.

8:12 pm

kje

8:12 pm

redturtlehead

I would invite you to my place stid, but I have a new moratorium on houseguests.

8:12 pm

kje

8:12 pm

Trifioso

okay, skating is starting.....gonna be babbling with one eye now

8:13 pm

Trifioso

8:14 pm

redturtlehead

I have not seen a cockraoch in forever here stid...

8:14 pm

kje

red... I think I would be offended at that - LOL

8:14 pm

stidmama

hmph. TV is harping on internet addiction again. I think it's bunkum. I think it's an invented problem that is being promoted to make shysters rich.

8:14 pm

redturtlehead

I know! I am not buggy!

8:15 pm

stidmama

really red? *reconsiders idea of florida* I saw a lot in Orlando, and in Puerto Rico, and a few when I was a child in Virginia.

8:15 pm

kje

kinda funny that the TV is harping on addiction... as if TV addiction isn't a problem in a nation of couch potatos?

8:15 pm

redturtlehead

dunno stid, there is a couple who live under me, very very obese, have this dual computer set up, each time I pass...they are playing games...

8:15 pm

redturtlehead

well, stid there are bugs.

8:16 pm

stidmama

That is a problem of people not wanting to move, kje -- I suspect if the computer didn't exist it would be the TV. Or the library books.

8:16 pm

kje

OK, speaking of bugs.. think I will take a long hot bath

8:16 pm

stidmama

oh, sorry -- I meant red on the obeses people...

8:16 pm

Well, I have some writing to do, and some reading. Neither of which are internet-based, unfortunately! I will have to look elsewhere for addictive activities (does excessive plant catalog reading count, I wonder?)

8:31 pm

lbdawger

hmm, excessive...might lead to addiction, stid. ;-)

8:31 pm

stidmama

Nef, be careful with your cough. Push fluids, warm steamy showers, etc etc.

8:31 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no Nef, time to rest.

8:31 pm

stidmama

*concerned mama look* it's too easy to keep going when it's "just" a cough.

8:31 pm

stid, I've done all of that. I'm just glad that I did because I might have been really sick (the cough just seems to be a pain now rather than a symptom

8:33 pm

anagrams...is that ENglish?

11:15 pm

pippingeek

ugh, cagt just left a gift in the litterbox, need to get up and take care of that

11:15 pm

stidmama

anagram means it has the same letters, but rearranged.

11:15 pm

PAV3

palindromes are backwords and forwards...unless it's Indian and then I don't know how it works...

11:15 pm

stidmama

like "read" and "dear" and "dare" are anagrams of each other

11:16 pm

PAV3

why not just say "jumbled"? it's plainer English that the common folk know

11:16 pm

pippingeek

cat, that is

11:16 pm

stidmama

that "indian" palindrome was just referring to the word itself, naan is a common flatbread from india

11:16 pm

pippingeek

mmm, naan.

11:16 pm

PAV3

we like gifts! just ask my poopies....NOT!

11:30 pm

stidmama

11:37 pm

Pinikula

* crossing fingers for pip *

11:37 pm

pippingeek

11:37 pm

hootowl

sorry - only dart & grim? type that fast.

11:37 pm

pippingeek

i've asked out most of the fellas i've ever been with

hootowl

over-acting

11:40 pm

Pinikula

there's another one?

11:40 pm

pippingeek

11:40 pm

hootowl

and plural and past tense

11:40 pm

hootowl

pip - wasn't even thinking of that. Just curious.

11:40 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I know, pip...one of my co-workers swears by them...and I keep watching her miss the mark (meaning, she's still single)

11:41 pm

PAV3

sorry, had to take Precious out for a weeeee bit...back with a slice pf Tilamook sharp cheddar, a jalapeno cornbread muffin and another glass..

11:41 pm

pippingeek

i'm all about honesty and up-front-ness and not giving in to arbitrary gendered expectations of how folks are supposed to act, it pisses me off

11:41 pm

pippingeek

yum, pav!

11:41 pm

Pinikula

you go, pav! :)

11:41 pm

pippingeek

there i go on a feminism rant...

11:42 pm

PAV3

i wonder how it'll affect my new allergy meds...?

11:42 pm

hootowl

Cook's Illustrated tests foods and cooking stuff and they rated the top 3 cheddars as cabot, tillamook and cracker barrel

11:42 pm

hootowl

BF and I laughed ourselves silly since we had all 3 in fridge

11:43 pm

Pinikula

I love going to the Tillamook Cheese Factory and getting squeaky cheese!!!

11:43 pm

PAV3

Tillamook in a quesadilla is great!

11:43 pm

pippingeek

nah, not at all bothered by the question hootowl, it'sjust one of my hot buttons of things i think are really important and feel strongly about

11:44 pm

hootowl

no - but a grilled sandwich w/caramelized onions is super

11:44 pm

pippingeek

oooh, yum

11:45 pm

Pinikula

didn't mean to get you all riled up, pip...was just messin' with ya...I rather feel the same way...things happen they way they do for a reason, not because "someone" said, "this is how it should be done" ;)

11:45 pm

hootowl

no sweat

11:45 pm

PAV3

doc said this morning at 08:30 am...bright and early on my day off (pres' day), that perhaps I have an uncommon non-allergy that mimics colds and flu's...three new meds...
