i actually did it in 2 minutes today - i was a minute or so late for flip
12:06 am
flosey
are you super human?
12:06 am
joshuavorbis
mostly it's just knowing that the word has to be there somewhere, and it has to start here, and there's so many babblets that if you remember you can see with a close look at a corner etc
12:07 am
flosey
great, but afraid it's beyond me
12:07 am
flosey
and now Pav, wow, guess I'd better start paying attention to the grid
12:07 am
MLFAN17
Z greyed ll
12:07 am
joshuavorbis
it's not for everyone - it just happens to be a fruitful way for me to dive into the grid to be honest
12:07 am
PAV3
24 for 23...I messed one up...
12:08 am
gremlinn
not a useful thing for me at all
12:08 am
PAV3
well if I don't think I'll finish, at least I have a word from each tile...

1:23 am
jillibus
I'm baaack, dishwasher loaded, banana consumed. Absolutely no cake-making.
1:24 am
jillibus
wow, nan!
1:24 am
flosey
welcome back jilli - even if you didn't bake us a cake
1:24 am
flosey
I need a clue for the first ou7 please?
1:24 am
jillibus
I'll have a piece of yours, please, flosey
1:25 am
flosey
by all means, here's a nice big slice
1:25 am
flosey
am sure MovieMan would like everyone to enjoy it
1:25 am
jillibus
mmmm, yum, and no calories :)
1:26 am
jillibus
sorry I can't help with the ou
1:26 am
flosey
not at all jilli
1:27 am
flosey
will keep looking
1:27 am
jillibus
btw, flosey, I won't be at bridge tomorrow -- staying home to watch the ice dance finals
1:29 am
flosey
I'd love to do that jilli - darn, now Paul has his partner back
1:30 am
flosey
I only saw one today, the Canadian couple - didn't think much of the costumes but their skating was exellent
1:30 am
jillibus
can you tape them?
1:30 am
flosey
yes, do you know exactly what time?
1:31 am
jillibus
no, but it's usually in the evening on SportsNet
1:32 am
flosey
I'll look it up, can tape 4 hours anyway and that should pick it up
1:34 am
jillibus
then all you have to do is find the time to watch it
1:34 am
flosey
never missed one in the past but got so annoyed at the judges when that couple skated a perfect set and were misjudged, then had to take it back
1:35 am
flosey
they knew they had skated perfectly and expected first of course, do you remember - that was when we were back in Ontario
1:35 am
flosey
can't remember their names but they did get married
1:36 am
jillibus
Victor Kratz and Shaelyn Bourne? (sp?)
1:36 am
flosey
they skated the pairs, not ice dancing
1:37 am
flosey
no, I loved them though, they just couldn't be beaten, was disappointed when they stopped
1:37 am
flosey
wow, has everyone left? look back, we're tying this chatline up
1:38 am
jillibus
of course -- can't remember the others but I certainly remember the incident
1:38 am
jillibus
I think most left!
1:39 am
flosey
that couple sat with the commentator during the pairs skate
1:42 am
jillibus
I just googled Canadian ice dancers and Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz WERE ice dancers. He has been commenting on the skating.
1:43 am
flosey
oh yes, I watched them every chance I had, they were so in tune with each other, great to watch
1:46 am
jillibus
can't find that couple in Google yet
1:47 am
flosey
I just did jilli, Jamie Sale and David Pellatier? spelling
1:47 am
jillibus
Pelletier, I think
1:47 am
flosey
that looks right
1:48 am
flosey
I scribbled it in a hurry then couldn't read it
1:49 am
jillibus
Yes, that's it -- good for you. I didn't realise it was so recent
1:51 am
flosey
I haven't seen them skate since before 1995 when we came out here - it was after they weren't given 1st at first call, it had to be corrected
1:52 am
flosey
the judges' scoring was faulted, they had given it to the Russians, but had to change it
1:53 am
flosey
just left a bad taste! the Russian girl (If I remember correctly) fell, or at least made a glaring error, and Jamie and David had a perfect skate
1:53 am
flosey
the judging was so bad back then
1:56 am
jillibus
It was in 2002, says Google
1:57 am
flosey
really? didn't realize it could have been that recent
1:58 am
flosey
oh, for a while we had a tv in the bedroom back then, may have watched more than I remember
1:59 am
jillibus
I didn't either -- thought it was when we were back in Hudson
2:00 am
jillibus
I mean the incident
2:01 am
flosey
yes, I was sure it was when we were in Ontario
2:03 am
jillibus
well, we were wrong!
2:04 am
rubyfoo
good morning, you two ladies of the North!
2:04 am
flosey
Hi there Ruby
2:04 am
jillibus
hi ruby :)
2:05 am
flosey
yes we were Jilli, was just reading Wikipedia
2:05 am
rubyfoo
I never get to see the skating as husband isn't interested. So I made him watch the ENDLESS classic cross country the other night!!
2:05 am
jillibus
I hope he hated it
2:05 am
flosey
good for you ruby - have to put your foot down sometimes
2:06 am
flosey
must confess, though, I don't often enough
2:07 am
jillibus
I was lucky to have a cooperative hubby
2:08 am
rubyfoo
sorry, still sleepy is there coffee in th PB?
2:08 am
jillibus
anything you want, ruby
2:08 am
flosey
lol, hubby came up to tell me the ice dance was on (tonight) but that was after he was finished watching (whatever) and there was only one couple left to watch!
2:09 am
flosey
always ruby, but first you have to put a word in the grid - preferably one we don't have
2:09 am
jillibus
Oh, too bad, flosey -- you missed the wonderful Canadians! They are in first place.
2:09 am
flosey
wonder if they'll rebroadcast tomorrow?
2:10 am
jillibus
there was a repeat on NBC
2:10 am
rubyfoo
I did get to see the men's short program, however, but not the long one.
2:10 am
rubyfoo
the times are so weird here
2:10 am
flosey
I enjoy the Ice dance more than any of the skating
2:11 am
jillibus
I do too -- used to do some elementary dances -- well, up to the paso doble
2:12 am
flosey
good for you, we skated but always outdoors - we had a marvelous rink in Scarboro
2:13 am
flosey
it was in a valley, huge ring around a little island of trees that were lit up - it was so beautiful
2:13 am
rubyfoo
that sounds so lovely
2:13 am
jillibus
that was in Leaside -- they had housewives' and pre-school children's classes at the arena which was close by -- great for me and my 4-yr-old boy
2:14 am
flosey
yes, I bet
2:14 am
jillibus
one end of the ice was roped off for the kids , who had their own instructor. We had a really yummy guy teaching us ;)
2:15 am
flosey
I remember taking Gordon to the arena in Kimberley - he still has those skates
2:15 am
jillibus
your Scarboro place sound like a fairyland
2:15 am
flosey
he would have to have been 2 at the time
2:16 am
flosey
yes, it was, and the lovliest scottish couple ran it
2:16 am
rubyfoo
seems to be frozen
2:16 am
rubyfoo
seems to be frozen
2:16 am
rubyfoo
seems to be frozen
2:16 am
rubyfoo
sorry, what was that?
2:17 am
flosey
then, several years later they sold it and was renamed "Little Switzerland"
2:17 am
jillibus
I had been very unhappy in Toronto until I went to that skating -- was really enjoying it all and then we were transferred back to Montreal and there was no such arrangement there.
2:18 am
flosey
ah, too bad, for both you and your son
2:18 am
jillibus
don't know, ruby -- we usually get a hiccup at 2 am grid time but that was later
2:19 am
jillibus
oh well, we survived!
2:19 am
flosey
yes, we do survive, fortunately
2:19 am
flosey
what years were you in Toronto, Jilli
2:20 am
jillibus
1948 - 54
2:21 am
jillibus
There were no high-rises, no Don Mills, no 401, no subway...
2:21 am
flosey
we use to go to a church in the East end, Gerrard and Woodbine
2:21 am
flosey
we use to go hiking in the Don Valley
2:22 am
flosey
where the DV Parkway is now
2:22 am
jillibus
We were living on $1800 a year -- no car
2:22 am
jillibus
no washing machine, coal furnace
2:22 am
flosey
I remember starting to work for $18. a week!
2:24 am
flosey
even when I quit to get married, I was making $75. a week and that was considered good in 1961
2:24 am
jillibus
I scrubbed diapers on a washboard, hung them out to dry, and a train would come by and deposit soot on them
2:24 am
flosey
I remember coal furnace - and the old Coal bin
2:25 am
flosey
oh nasty, how frustrating
2:25 am
flosey
and in the winter, they'd be like boards when you brought them in, lol, I had same thing in Kimberley
2:26 am
jillibus
oh yes! I did rig up clotheslines in the basement too, for rainy days and winter
2:27 am
dizgrannie
geez Jilli, just read back a bit...I was born in '54...
2:27 am
flosey
we didn't have a basement, had to bring them in frozen and hang them around the kitchen - it was a very small 2 bedroom house - more like a cottage
2:27 am
jillibus
yay! 100 words so I can go to bed
2:27 am
flosey
I better get to bed too, have to get to lab early so I can have some breakfast after
2:28 am
flosey
27 words for tomorrow
2:28 am
flosey
and they're not coming easily now
2:28 am
jillibus
diz, this is such a great meeting place :)
2:28 am
rubyfoo
sweet dreams, you two. That was a very interesting conversation about the Canadian "old days"
2:28 am

2:34 am
rubyfoo

2:42 am

3:02 am
dizgrannie

3:03 am
hydra
Hello all. I'm only finding small words, too. This is a h4/6 grid!
3:04 am
dizgrannie
too right hydra, hello as well
3:06 am
hydra
you did well to get 7 and 8 words, grannie
3:12 am
dizgrannie
it was a to 7 to get them...sometime I feel like to 7+ing the peeps who make these grids...LOL
3:12 am
dizgrannie
hope the clue turn out okay
3:13 am
hydra
Yes, it was brilliant. Thanks, grannie!!!
3:14 am
dizgrannie
at least we have the 8...now for the 7's
3:15 am
hydra
I'm staring hard at the l and my eyes are glazing over.
3:17 am
hydra
Got it! Dancers and gymnasts wear it
3:18 am
hydra
Right. Time I began some work. See you later *poof*
3:18 am
lynxxx
nice Hydra - all I saw was Sayer - TY
3:25 am
rubyfoo
hi lynxxx and grannie (again). Thanks for the 7's.
3:26 am
rubyfoo
WW3 around here since yesterday morning! This is my only respite
3:26 am
rubyfoo
It's too cold to go outside
3:28 am
lynxxx
Glad we can provide a haven for you Ruby. Has he only been this bad since his heart problem?
3:29 am
rubyfoo
he was not easy before, but he's much worse now. Very aggressive and nasty with me. Yesterday he actually grabbed me in his anger, the first time ever! As I am much smaller, that is no joke.
3:30 am
lynxxx
You are smart enough to take care of yourself I hope. Is he under care of any doctor? if so, perhaps you can speak to them
3:31 am
rubyfoo
he is taking a lot of cardio meds, but it is very hard to speak to the doctors privately, especially in French, and they are only concerned with his heart, not with his deportment.
3:31 am
rubyfoo
I wonder if it's early dementia....
3:32 am
rubyfoo
the aggression is pretty new and it seems to be a typical Altzheimer symptom. But then, I start to think that maybe I just annoy him.
3:32 am
Yvo
Ruby i feel so bad for you,what makes him so ugly to you ,might be hes angry your feeling well,and he isnt,i dont very often chat ,cause im so slow typing,but im hoping you dont let him touch you ever
3:33 am
lynxxx
I cannot give you any advice - but perhaps you should/could speak to a doctor
3:33 am
Andree
reminds me so much of the last 10 years of my marriage ruby,it took heaps of planning and courage to leave and you can do it too, i know from eexperience that you think its something you have to put up with
3:33 am
Andree
hi everyone
3:33 am
rubyfoo
it is very kind of you both to listen as it is helpful for me to talk about it and, obviously here, it isn't possible
3:34 am
lynxxx
Does he have any adult children anywhere Ruby - or perhaps someone else he us close to?
3:35 am
rubyfoo
The problem is that this is my house and he has no place to go. To kick him out and send him where? He has 3 children with whom he has no contact, 5 grandchildren he doesn't know, and now, a great grandson.
3:35 am
lynxxx
It is hard when it could be a medical condition, makes it hard to walk away from the saituation
3:35 am
rubyfoo
And, of course, there is the question of money, not having enough to set up two households.
3:36 am
rubyfoo
I love it here as well, isolated as it is. My son lives in Austin TX and, of course, has offered me a place to live but that would be awful for me
3:37 am
rubyfoo
He has 3 ex-wives, none of whom would want him unless he was rich! LOL ruefully.
3:37 am
lynxxx
Very hard Ruby, but please at least make contact with someone locally that you can fall back on..a doctor, a solicitor ?
3:38 am
rubyfoo
So, I stay away from him as much as possible, hunkering down here in my studio.
3:39 am
Andree
try seeing a counsellor and consult a solicitor, if its your house especially and i have to say if its a medical condition a lot of men have the same condition!!! and wemen just put up with their behaviour. there is a reason his kids have no contact with him
3:39 am
rubyfoo
I'll be OK once it gets warm enough to go outside and I can mess with my garden and sit in the sun.

Do you mean a psychologist? That's a funny idea, having to deal with one in French! It's hard to kick out an unhealthy 84-year old man. However, if he touches me again, that will be it!
3:41 am
lynxxx
Heed Andree s words Ruby, you really can't/shouldn't hide from it
3:41 am
Andree
trying to think how many years i spent thinking tomorrow will be better, next year will be better, he is stressed etc etc
3:42 am
rubyfoo
No, no, I don't think this will get better. It is much too late for that. I am only hoping for an accommodation to see us through to the end.
3:42 am
Andree
i was the expert just as you are now with excuses , for him, his behaviour and why i needed to put up with it
3:42 am
rubyfoo
I'm almost 67 and somewhat mechanically fragile, but healthy enough. And, as long as the money lasts, I have some help
3:43 am
rubyfoo
I need to talk with my MD, though, maybe she can recommend someone. What they tend to do here is just put everybody on psychotropic meds.
3:44 am
Andree
okay you can't kick an 84 year old man out but you can via a solicitor threaten to and give him a big fright
3:44 am
rubyfoo
If he would go to someone, that would be a big help, but he doesn't believe in it, thinks he's above it all.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
That's a good idea
3:45 am
lynxxx
You should be able to find a good english speaking solicitor over there surely
3:47 am
Andree
i won't keep on about it ruby but you MUST do something
3:48 am
rubyfoo
Thank you, ladies, I feel better having gotten this off my chest. You are right, Andree, I have to do something. I am afraid to tell my son because he would be on the next plane! But even that wouldn't be such a bad idea
3:49 am
lynxxx
Might be a good idea if it helps you to address the situation
3:50 am
rubyfoo
he would die of embarrassment if he knew I told anybody! He can be very charming when he wants to be, so it is easy to see me as the shrew!
3:50 am
Andree
tell him, dramatic as this may seem at least someone will know should something happen to you
3:50 am
Andree
are you sure he's not related to my ex,lol
3:50 am
rubyfoo
too funny!
3:59 am
lynxxx
I'm very slow with this grid, just found the fish
3:59 am
rubyfoo
I just found it, too, and the plural (I though it was the plural)
4:02 am
rubyfoo
I think this is the mot t's I've seen in a grid
4:05 am
rubyfoo
I'll go and make him lunch now and see what happens
4:06 am
rubyfoo
Thank you all for listening and for offering your kind advice!!!! hugs!
4:06 am
lynxxx
bye for now Ruby

flosey
hi lyn, ata, andree
4:11 am
flosey
does anyone have a clue for st6, please?
4:11 am
Atalante
hi flosey, hi all
4:11 am
Andree
it sure is a slow grid
4:15 am
lynxxx
st6 st & t**** or dare - change the vowel
4:17 am
lynxxx
tell the t****, don't lie
4:20 am
flosey
tytyty, was coming from wrong direction
4:21 am
rubyfoo
just a quick note lynxx and andree, I just went upstairs and he very sweetly asked me if I could help him because he had little cuts on his fingers from carrying wood. I think he was feeling bad and that was his way of being nice.
4:23 am
flosey
well ruby, look after him and maybe you'll have a pleasant evening
4:23 am
rubyfoo
but I will still think about your advice and figure things out!
4:23 am
Andree
are you sure he is not related to my ex, that is exactly what he would do when he realised he had gone too far. unfortunatly he soon forgot
4:23 am
rubyfoo
still have to get through the afternoon, lol!
4:23 am
flosey
I agree, you need someone there to talk to and advise
4:23 am
lynxxx
That good Ruby - but please still speak to someone/s about the situation. It is endangering your wellbeing
4:24 am
rubyfoo
I agree. Maybe he is your ex, Andree, after all, he's had 3 other wives.....
4:24 am
flosey
I agree lyn, your health comes first Ruby - physical, mental and emotional
4:27 am
Andree
mine got exactly what he deserved, new wife says jump and he says how high, he does all the cooking cleaning, shopping etc, lives in terror of being left again... the most important thing to him whwn i left was the injury to his ego
4:28 am
lynxxx
some men are extremely foolish
4:30 am
Atalante
still havent forgiven mine for noticing I'd had a hair cut and got a new dress and didn't even say I looked nice last week. Small things I know, but ...
4:30 am
bonkler
foolishness is not a gendered trait.
4:31 am
lynxxx
very true Bonkler...some women are also! (myself included)
4:35 am
Andree
he should have noticed ata, some men seem to walk about with blinkers
4:36 am
Atalante
or at least make some placatory noises even if he didn't really notice LOL
4:38 am
bonkler
we are all, at one moment or another, wearing the fools hat. failure to communicate one's problems or issues is a big indicator of the fool's way. in some regards it is a matter of priority. what might seem like blinkers might indicate that he's comfortable with you and your presence. what you might see as a drastic change might seem like a a new colour on the ever changing palette of your person. but sticking with a resentment and dwelling on it, letting it eat at you and not saying anything...

Would anyone like a chocolate brownie?
5:56 am
Atalante

Sally-catlover
Plenty to go round.
5:57 am
Trifioso
no one guesses the proper noun then?
5:58 am
Andree

5:58 am
lynxxx

5:58 am
Eva

6:01 am
Trifioso
I am making the most amazing costume for Primo right now, for the Anime Boston convention in a couple of months. If it comes out worthy, I will post tons of photos
6:01 am
Atalante
does it end iin the high score letter?
6:01 am
Trifioso
he is going as a prince from Italy in the 1400's
6:01 am
Eva
yes ata and yw lynxxx
6:02 am
Atalante
what anime is that from?
6:02 am
Eva
when I tried it I was sure it would be rejected, as it is certainly not in common use in English, but there it was
6:02 am
Trifioso
Assassin's Creed
6:02 am
lynxxx
the end of that word is extremely timely
6:03 am
Eva
yes indeed-and that's there too
6:03 am
Atalante
odd thinking of AC as anime! too used to it as a game lol But that will be fab!
6:05 am
Trifioso
yes, ata, if I can get it finished on time, and in budget!
6:05 am
Atalante
I've got to start thinking about dragoncon costumes at some point
6:06 am
Andree
i have made many costumes in my time , the worst was the crocidile in peter pan
6:07 am
Atalante
worst to make or worst-looking?
6:07 am
Trifioso
yes, I imagine that ticking must have gotten irritating after a while, ha ha ha
6:08 am
Andree
worst to make
6:12 am
Sally-catlover

6:12 am
Deeha
I used to be dragged in to make costumes - my favourite was John the Baptists head!! I made it in papier mache over a balloon but the balloon kept bursting covering me in wet paper and paste!!When the show was over the kids fought tp be the one tro take it home|!!
6:13 am
Andree
i do not quite understand the bobsleigh, is the guy at the back just for weight or are they just cowering in fear?
6:14 am
lynxxx
messy & gruesome, nice Deeha
6:15 am
Atalante
weight I *think* andree
6:17 am
FMitch
I think you are right Ata
6:17 am
Atalante
let's look on wiki! wiki knows everything
6:18 am
FMitch
go on then and you can illuminate us :)
6:18 am
Atalante
A crew is made up of a pilot, a brakeman, and, in 4 man only, two pushers. Athletes are selected based on speed and strength, necessary to push the sleigh to a competitive initial speed at the start of the race. Pilots must have the skill, timing, and finesse to drive the sleigh along the best possible line to achieve the greatest possible speed.
6:18 am
Andree
i am sure it is weight, i was joking about the cowering
6:19 am
Atalante
but it always does seem strange to have random extra people on the thing!
6:19 am
FMitch
well there you go, yet again the bable chat has taught us something we didn't know we needed to know *grin*
6:20 am
lynxxx
these Ts are very hard to get on with
6:20 am
Andree
i just find it funny that the 2nd person does nothing once they climb in and shares the medal honours
6:21 am
Atalante
me too. or the *3* other people even
6:21 am
FMitch
reminds me of that flim called Cool Running I think about the Jamacain bobsleigh team
6:22 am
lynxxx
wouldn't their weight keep the speed up?
6:22 am
Atalante
yep, just seems odd to win a medal for running really fast for a few secs then hiding for the rest of the race!
6:23 am
Sally-catlover
lol Ata
6:23 am
Andree
that was a good movie fm
6:23 am
Sally-catlover
I could probably win a gold medal for cowering!
6:23 am
Andree
me too ,lol
6:24 am
FMitch
yes Andree, one of those feel good ones.
6:24 am
Andree
its the ice hockey now
6:25 am
FMitch
have to admit I have managed to miss most of the winter games, just not my cup of tea.
6:26 am
Atalante
thats also bewildering
6:26 am
lynxxx
Go see It's Complicated for a feel good movie - must be over 45 and female though
6:27 am
FMitch
lol I fit that criteria lynxxx
6:27 am
Atalante
i dont :(
6:28 am
FMitch
Ata is too young tho
6:28 am
Andree
i am dying to see it lynxxx, possibly tomorrow, my day off and i am meeting a friend for a movie
6:28 am
lynxxx
find a girlfriend to see it with FM, you'll laugh all the way through
6:28 am
lynxxx
good stuff Andree
6:29 am
Andree
have a feeling she has seen it though
6:36 am

Giving up for tonight and still 36 to find - so if you can leave some clues for odd Ts it will be appreciated. Goodnight all
6:36 am

Yes, the 58 in my name refers to my year of birth, we're still young in heart.

Haz1558
When did you start playing babble, polly?
7:31 am
polly1958
This is only my 3rd or 4th go,someone gave a link on answerbank
7:32 am
Haz1558
I hope you enjoy it, some people claim to be addicted, but they're very weak-willed.
7:32 am
KatieMcG
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so you are not addicted then Haz?
7:33 am
Haz1558
Mildly attached.
7:33 am
FMitch
LOL none of us are adicted allegedly :)
7:33 am
KatieMcG
at least i'm not giving it up for lent this year
7:34 am
polly1958
I must admit it is addictive but there are some very obscure words when i checked yesterdays answers!
7:34 am
FMitch
you will be going pro before you know it polly
7:35 am
Haz1558
Yes, some people get frustrated when there are words that they don't know and will never use. You do get to know some of the more frequent ones and it's amazing how you come to be on speaking terms with Welsh crowds and Madagascan hedgehogs.
7:35 am
polly1958
Oh i doubt it
7:35 am
FMitch
all hai the tenrec!
7:35 am
Haz1558
The most important thing is to enjoy it as a game.
7:37 am
FMitch
Haz, update - Ata is also coming into Voctira so she and I will meet up and she wil help me hobble to the hotel *big happy grin*
7:37 am
FMitch
*Victoria even
7:37 am
polly1958
Yes and its better than doing the ironing
7:38 am
Haz1558
Oh, that's good news. You're not hiring crutches for the day, just for added drama?
7:38 am
FMitch
good lord no!
7:38 am
Haz1558
Since you mention ironing, polly, does that mean that you're British?
7:39 am
FMitch
why does ironing = being British?
7:39 am
polly1958
Yes,from a sunny but icy North Yorkshire
7:39 am
Haz1558
Just a theory. And I was right!
7:39 am
FMitch
oh where abouts polly?
7:40 am
polly1958
When do i get a flag and avatar?
7:40 am
Haz1558
Most Americans on here seem to talk about folding their laundry and react with horror when the ir4/4 is mentioned.
7:40 am
FMitch
when you go pro
7:41 am
Haz1558
Polly, the tile stats stay with you for free for a fortnight. After that they disappear. If you want them back, you need to pay for pro membership and that also entitles you to a flag etc.
7:41 am
Haz1558
The payment is a one off for life - and you can use Paypal! But, it's up to you, you'll always be able to play the game for free.
7:41 am
FMitch
My Mums family hail from Middlesbro, my Grandpa worked all his life at the steel works that they are just 'starting to mothball' :(
7:42 am
Eva
It's true that very few people I know iron any more-or at least very rarely. I don't know whether that's because almost everyone works such long hours or whether we are more accepting of wrinkles?
7:42 am
Eva
opps-pb for me!
7:43 am
polly1958
My partners niece and her husband both work at Corus,all his family are Redcar
7:43 am
Haz1558
I think you probably use tumble driers on a more regular basis as well, Eva. I have one, but try to limit its use to days when there's no prospect of getting clothes dried outside.
7:43 am
FMitch
sad sad times for all of those at Teeside.
7:43 am
Eva
that's true Haz.
7:43 am
FMitch
Hi Eva and Merp!
7:44 am
polly1958
Very sad indeed.
7:44 am
Eva
Greetings FM and mrrrp!
7:44 am

Mind you, I still ir4/4 the clothes when they emerge from the drier.
7:45 am

7:45 am
jmitch
I've given dress shirts away because they had to be ir6.....until I got married, I didn't even own the implement for performing that task.
7:47 am
Haz1558
I think I'm very much in the minority because I actually like ir4/4ing.
7:47 am
Mom
good morning .... ah ir 4/4. Today is my ir 4/4 ing day. I love Mondays
7:47 am
Haz1558
Hello, Mom! Another devotee?
7:48 am
amelu0218
I still don't own said implement... the husband does but I do not, LOL!
7:48 am
Mom
Hi Haz. Very much so
7:48 am
Anniebrook
I love the look and smell of a newly ir4ed blouse but I do not like the chore but I do it as necessary
7:48 am
Mom
{{Annie}} good morning
7:49 am
Mom
yes, all blouses and shirts must have a crease in them
7:49 am
Haz1558
Good morning, Annie.
7:49 am
Anniebrook
Hi ((Mom)) and Haz
7:49 am
Mom
Carlee said to tell the "gang" hello
7:50 am
Haz1558
Is she well?
7:50 am
Anniebrook
my grandson is having the stitches removed from his outer ear today. He was playing dodgeball and fell onto a sharp edge and ouch! Twenty stitches!
7:50 am
Mom
oh my gosh, Annie, that is terrible
7:50 am
Haz1558
Twenty stitches is a LOT.
7:50 am
Haz1558
I'm gritting my teeth at the thought.
7:51 am
Mom
yes Haz, she is doing just fine
7:51 am
Anniebrook
Quite a lot, I was surprised to hear that too. He took the entire episode better than all of us.
7:51 am
Haz1558
Getting stitches put in is less painful than having them removed.
7:51 am
Haz1558
What age is he, Annie?
7:51 am
Anniebrook
he is 9.
7:52 am
Anniebrook
Carleekat has not been seen in ages.
7:52 am
Mom
she doesn't play any more, Annie
7:52 am
Anniebrook
Is she still stomping on the grapes?
7:52 am
Haz1558
I hope he recovers completely, Annie, it must have been a shock for everyone.
7:53 am
Mom
she writes that things are good. She is no longer working and very bored.
7:53 am
Anniebrook
Haz, It could have been worse so we all grateful.
7:53 am
Haz1558
Absolutely.
7:54 am
Haz1558
Is carlee on facebook, is that how you keep in touch, Mom?
7:54 am
Mom
she is on Facebook.
7:55 am
Mom
I hadn't seen her in such a long time and I wrote her asking how she was doing and got the reply this morning
7:56 am
KatieMcG
Ok how do you spell dirth if not dirth?
7:56 am
Anniebrook
dearth
7:56 am
Haz1558
That's good, you never know when people disappear just why they've gone.
7:57 am
jmcnrick
three's the charm
7:57 am
Mom
and she was always here every morning without fair
7:57 am
KatieMcG
thank you Haz :-) I knew you would know the answer
7:57 am
Haz1558
Hello jmc.
7:57 am
Anniebrook
hi j mc
7:57 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Katie, but Annie did as well, and jmc did eventually.
7:58 am
jmcnrick
i am showing off my brave little crocus again this morning
7:58 am
KatieMcG
yes I think I was the only one who didn't know!
7:58 am
Mom
I didn't know either Katie
7:58 am
jmcnrick
no katie i have to type something until i see the right one
7:59 am
jmcnrick
i can't spell but i can usually tell if something is misspelled oddly enough
7:59 am
Haz1558
I see all words in my head even when people are speaking.
7:59 am
jmcnrick
is that annoying?
7:59 am
KatieMcG
I'd better go and get on with some work. See you all later x
7:59 am
Mom
I could move along on this grid a lot easier if the E and R in the lower corner were transposed
7:59 am
jmcnrick
what if it is a word you don't know?
7:59 am
Haz1558
Bye Katie.
7:59 am
jmcnrick
bye katie
8:00 am
Mom
bye bye Katie.
8:01 am
Haz1558
I used to think that everyone saw words in their head, it's like a kind of transcript. But apparently people don't, I got very odd looks when I first mentioned it. It can get annoying if two or three or more people are speaking at once, I can't transcribe fast enough.
8:01 am
jmcnrick
no matter, numbers all have personalities for me
8:02 am
Haz1558
If it's a language I don't know, then I can switch off and just hear the sounds as sounds. But the transcript thing works for languages I know.
8:02 am
Haz1558
Anyway, time to get lunch, husband is home!
8:02 am
Mom
bye for now Haz
8:02 am
Anniebrook
bye, haz, enjoy your lunch with Mr. Haz
8:02 am

I guess i will go get some work done

Sally-catlover
Hi Mom. Just was away from the grid for a bit. I still have 20 to find, but can I help with any clues?
8:28 am
Mom
Hi Sally. I am just starting out, but I keep doing head slaps when I find these easy words that should jump out at me but don't
8:28 am
Mom
I appreciate the offer.
8:29 am
Sally-catlover
It is a bit like that today, isn't it. Some nice ones in there as well.
8:30 am
Mom
I think if I would just sit and focus on it instead of trying to do a number of things it might be easier
8:31 am
Sally-catlover
But you're a woman! You can multi-task :-)
8:31 am
Mom
on most things, yes. Babble, apparently not
8:36 am
Sally-catlover
Well I have just been searching and searching for my last R word, which turned out to be ro 5/10 and a real fish-slap! Don't know why I couldn't see it.
8:37 am
Mom
:) glad you found it
8:42 am
Mom
Just got the phone call I have been waiting for. TIme to go to the quilting bee. Have a good day.

4:24 pm
Uneaixoise
banana cake?
4:24 pm
stidmama
I am eating some chicken soup, after spending some time outside. Tom made me go work in the garden when I broke down in tears, despairing over my recalcitrant paper-writing monkeys.
4:24 pm
Uneaixoise
aawww, stiddy :-(
4:25 pm
stidmama
SOMETHING ate my species tulips that were by the front door. I am devastated. They were a lovely dark pink, very pretty. And now very eaten down to the bulbs. They won't recover.
4:25 pm
Uneaixoise
bunnies? chipmunks?
4:25 pm
Uneaixoise
so sorry -- very very infuriating
4:25 pm
stidmama
I am not being unproductive, just so much to do this week that I don't know which end is up.
4:26 pm
Uneaixoise
take a deep breath . . .
4:26 pm
stidmama
I think deer or bunnies. It doesn't look like slug damage -- it happened so fast. But it could be slugs -- a warm winter and I didn't get slug deterrant out yet.
4:26 pm
stidmama
*breathing*
4:26 pm
Uneaixoise
then consult bo's monkeys -- they're obviously quite ingenious
4:26 pm
Uneaixoise
i'm hoping our extremely cold winter has zapped some bugs!
4:27 pm
stidmama
that would be a very positive UP side to the inconvenience, wouldn't it, Une?
4:27 pm

6:00 pm
redturtlehead
I may have to...currently I am not doing a lot of cooking.
6:00 pm
kje
well, except for the grinding of spices for the crab mixture, but since my spice grinder broke, I subbed chinese five spice powder for that anyway
6:00 pm
stidmama
BUT I can clue for about five minutes... if anyone needs it?
6:01 pm
kje
I just started a diet, so I either cook, or pout due to sucky food
6:01 pm
redturtlehead
you will not find me grinding anything!!!
6:01 pm
redturtlehead
true, kje, I started to jog again, so I will not have to diet entirely.
6:01 pm
kje
like i said! I used a tsp of five spice powder and it is delish
6:02 pm
kje
stid... do you ever get a night free of studying?
6:02 pm
stidmama
sometimes, kje. but I have been sick so much this quarter (food poisoing, allergic reaction, migraine) that I seem to spend most of my non-sick time just catching up.
6:03 pm
stidmama
I am feeling overwhelmed and ready to QUIT. but I won't quit. they will have to kick me out. *stubborn mama look*

I am going to accept defeat though and uh, go to Lickety.
6:04 pm
kje
trust me, EVERY person who has ever done grad school wanted to quit at some point... tough it out
6:04 pm
stidmama
so. since I CAN, I think I WILL. (Lickety is not defeat, it's "using your resources" -- smart move!)
6:05 pm
stidmama
*tough mama look* maybe I need sarjent stripes? a marine hat? like the guy from gomer pyle...
6:05 pm
kje
no, not sure you want to be known as the gomer on campus - LOL
6:05 pm
stidmama
why must we spell things sargeant, and lieutenant, and such? I shall have a horrible time teaching things like that to my students, I am sure.
6:06 pm
stidmama
no, not gomer = me, Sgt = me! *stands at attention* see?
6:06 pm
stidmama

6:18 pm

7 letter word that starts with to and is worth 32 points

Welcome dalia.

when you get stuck, there is a handy hint list called "lickety's babble clues" in a link under the grid
6:20 pm

Thanks, kje, still working on it.
6:20 pm

we guarantee you will get hooked.... it is a horribly addicting game with nice people

Many thanks, kje.
6:22 pm
dalia
OK, but I still don't get how you know how many points a word you don't yet have is going to get. I see, for ex, that I have 15/18 "T" words, and 3/7 "7-letter" words. But how do I know that I need a word starting with "to" that'll be worth 32 points? (Sorry for the long question...)
6:22 pm
kje
aaaaahhhh - because of lickety's babble clues
6:22 pm
redturtlehead
useing licketys list.
6:22 pm

ahhh. I see.
6:22 pm

6:35 pm
72 Temple Owl
hello all
6:35 pm
Nancy Boy
I suppose four months may take the charm away a little...I guess you're ready for snow, though? In England, a few inches makes the whole country grind to a halt.
6:35 pm

to4 is not th ereal issue.... but yes, we need health care reform! ; )
6:36 pm

I don't know how to vote, here. Ostensibly you have lots of choice, but really it's a two horse race between Tory and Labour. Both are slightly different types of s**t. 'Scuse me.

well, I've always found that if you don't get involved and you don't vote, you have absolutely No Say in any of it. To me (at least), if you don't vote you shouldn't complain about politics

8:47 pm

yes. they are naturally pack animals. As long as one takes the alpha role, and one takes the beta
8:47 pm
Jellen
They are pack animals by nature, aren't they?
8:47 pm
car.eeyore
OK...I am coming around to this idea! Tell me more! How old is joey?
8:47 pm
Trifioso

8:48 pm
Trifioso
I suppose so, yes, or meet halfway. Tori has been barking up tris's ass about visiting, so we could kill two birds, as it were

Scrabbler
Seain, I have 4 floor lamps, non-functional, in my basement, each with chewed cords. And I have a draw with 3 alarm clocks with chewed cords
9:22 pm

It's hard to turn off the brain sometimes.

Hi there, Jellen and Scrabbler.
9:23 pm
KrisE
busy times - worry? or "doing ahead" or just pondering?
9:25 pm
Scrabbler
I am a planner. I like predictability and no uncertainty. So these appts + upcoming weekend on call are disruptions to my usual schedule.
9:26 pm
KrisE
so you're organizing things in your head...:)
9:26 pm
Jellen
I can understand that, Scrabbler...
9:27 pm
Scrabbler
Yep, I visualize my schedule.."OK, Monday, after work go to dentist; Tuesday do this errand then go to MD...."

9:33 pm
Jellen
I usually don't like figure skating, but it has appealed to me this year for some reason...
9:33 pm

9:38 pm
Ormal
what's the deal with the tile stats?
9:38 pm
gremlinn
It tells you how many words (and of those, how many you've found) that start on each tile.
9:39 pm
Scrabbler
They are info for us, Ormal. Read "Help" above, and below the Tile Stats read Lickety + Angelsong pages
9:39 pm
gremlinn
If a word can start on multiple tiles, preference is given to the tile in the highest row, and in a given row, the lowest column number.
