normally they are 6 weeks. But now that they are both on high school, they have an extra week in which they only need to come and collect their books and roster.

2:47 am

sprite

Terra loves it. Lots of attention and lots of extra walks and outings.

2:47 am

lynxxx

do you even remember not having a dog now?

2:48 am

sprite

yes I do, and I can't imagine how I did without. Sometimes my love takes Terra for a trip or canoeing weekend and I hate it. The house is so empty without Terra!

2:50 am

sprite

now that we are talking holidays... how about the word re4tival for a feast of relaxation?

2:50 am

rubyfoo

wow, lovely big grid today!

2:51 am

lynxxx

nice feeling, isn't it, racing through so many words?

3:14 am

rubyfoo

you always do it, sprite, but it's rare for me

3:14 am

sprite

that is a double PB for you, lol

3:15 am

sprite

no I do not always do it, of course not. Some grids are tough and let you fight for them word by word.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

oh no! sloppy ruby!!!

3:19 am

sprite

I want ravioli, all kinds of words ending in -tive and the -earn combination. It is phantom phest.

3:47 am

ursh

it is a badge noddy (from children's books) hands out to others for brave or clever actions

3:48 am

sprite

woot! You certainly deserve one. A long and good marriage takes a lot of work and courage.

3:49 am

herinfernallady

3:49 am

sprite

but he is probably enjoying himself a lot :)

3:50 am

herinfernallady

he is but arrr driving me nuts

3:50 am

sprite

hehehe :)

3:51 am

herinfernallady

fish me for missing the Id words

3:51 am

sprite

*slaps lady around with a guppie*

3:51 am

herinfernallady

thanks

3:52 am

sprite

and you missed them because you have been extremely busy.

3:52 am

herinfernallady

I missed them because i didn't look up

3:53 am

herinfernallady

I did find 230 odd words out of mybrain

3:53 am

sprite

wow lady, good job!

3:53 am

herinfernallady

I am trying to find more and moe to build up my vocab

3:54 am

sprite

*hugs the lady* Even in your spare time you are still learning!

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Sprite. I love word games. We had to do a basic there, they're their thing at school last week I did it then sat there waiting for ages

3:55 am

sprite

lol you are way too good for that level

3:56 am

herinfernallady

The teacher did it due to the high grammatical errors on our papers. I am thinking spell check is not that hard. BUt then again the school system is about 2 or 3 years behind what we learnt

3:57 am

sprite

still some people would benefit from using spell check, even if it is 2 or 3 years out of date.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

No not spell check being out of date. For example what I learned in grade 6 the school was recently teaching year 9 students

3:58 am

sprite

ouch! That is bad.

3:59 am

herinfernallady

It is and it is sad. One of the girls asked what a herb was (that was similar to Time)

3:59 am

sprite

omg! *baffled*

4:01 am

herinfernallady

YEar nine have English Grammar and learning stuff we learnt in year 6

4:03 am

herinfernallady

brb

4:03 am

sprite

it seems here in holland things are going back to what I would call normal. There has been a period where people who graduated still could not spell. But my children have gotten all the rules in elementary school, thank god.

4:09 am

herinfernallady

my parents taught me

4:10 am

sprite

I learned on elementary school, then had to do it all over again at high school because most of my classmates had not learned on their el school.

4:11 am

herinfernallady

sigh

4:11 am

sprite

my father and grandfather were teaching Dutch at schools, so I already knew most of it... still know and it helps so much when learning other languages

4:15 am

herinfernallady

I didn't learn much at school

4:17 am

herinfernallady

O my friends dog dislocated her tail. poor baby

4:18 am

sprite

awwww how did she manage that? Must be so painful :(

4:18 am

herinfernallady

No idea. The vet missed it the first time, probably due to her not wanting a faceful of sore dog

4:21 am

sprite

poor baby

4:21 am

herinfernallady

She is a very sweet dog.

4:21 am

herinfernallady

As my friend always say.Just when yuo thought it was safe to put away your wallet

4:22 am

sprite

lol yes

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Might we add that said wallet has been ''decorated'' by one of her other dogs

4:23 am

sprite

hahahaha. We sent Caya a postcard from us all, and we let Te5 bite the corner. She loved it.

4:23 am

herinfernallady

awwww

4:24 am

herinfernallady

ding cookies done back in a min

4:24 am

sprite

waiiiiiit I wanna cookie too!

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Awww Sprite I would love to share. One of my friends today told me I was so domesticated

4:28 am

sprite

you are a marvelous cook, I think. But I think you are still pretty wi4 :)

4:28 am

herinfernallady

Well one of my friends is working 4 days straight. We had to go to her place and get some papers for her. She has 2 wild wombats on her property. They are so cute and sooooo fat

4:29 am

sprite

awww

4:29 am

herinfernallady

That was a 3hour round trip at 1130pm last night

4:29 am

herinfernallady

I dropped off food for her g.f and food for her at her work on Thursday since she was stuck on a 4 day shift.

4:31 am

herinfernallady

Then one of the horses in the paddock gave me a heart attack by coming over and saying HI when we were leaving and I had to open the front gate.

4:31 am

sprite

I would call that being a great friend, not being domesticated, lol.

4:32 am

sprite

ohhh I found the 9! And it is a re4 word. This is such a fun grid.

4:33 am

herinfernallady

Thanks so the 9 is an Re word?

4:34 am

sprite

no a Ri word. I meant it is an actual word, a normal word.

4:34 am

herinfernallady

Smart Sprite

4:35 am

sprite

4:35 am

4:43 am

herinfernallady

Awww Sprite. I do what I can. She is just trying to sort her life out after a rotten start to the year.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

Hi Stan

4:44 am

sprite

4:45 am

herinfernallady

And other great friends. Even though she is the one that has done things that have hurt me she knows that she has our support

4:45 am

sprite

I re4 my case... a true friend.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Either that or the b.f and I ahve gone nuts

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Plus they have pets and I can't bare the thought of them struggling to feed themselves after the fur brats

4:48 am

5:18 am

Jawajedi

WTF how does this game work? I keep typing in words i see on this puzzle board but they aren't in the puzzle? makes no sense.

5:19 am

sandyloo

hi guys, jawa, the aim is to find all the words in the puzzle, in this there are 327

5:19 am

Haz1558

Have you consulted 'Help' above the chat log? It explains how the game is played.

5:20 am

Norma

Hi sandy n Haz

5:20 am

sandyloo

hi norma and haz

5:20 am

Jawajedi

Lol apparently there are words that should be in the puzzle but arent. fucking retarded.

5:20 am

sandyloo

and herin if you are there

5:20 am

Haz1558

Words have to be four letters or more, they have to touch, you can go in any direction including diagonally, letters can only be used in a a word once.

5:21 am

sandyloo

the letters have to be adjoining

5:21 am

Haz1558

Enough of the language, Jaw.

5:21 am

Haz1558

Not acceptable in this log, perhaps you should find another word game that gives you more of a challenge.

5:23 am

sandyloo

have you had a nice weekend haz?

5:23 am

Haz1558

Fine so far, sandy - just waiting for my sister to arrive and trying to get a few more words.

5:24 am

sandyloo

we have had friends here for lunch today so I am exhausted, would have liked a smaller grid today tho , but c'est la vie

5:25 am

Haz1558

At least it seems to be fairly civilised.

5:25 am

sandyloo

bye see you soon

6:57 am

rubyfoo

sandy? are you still there?

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I guess I missed soodle!

6:59 am

rubyfoo

and everybody

7:00 am

rubyfoo

back for a few minutes then back on my bike!

7:00 am

sandyloo

yes I am

7:00 am

sandyloo

I can hardly wait for the pyranees (cant spell it

7:00 am

sandyloo

the last couple of stages have not been very exciting

7:01 am

rubyfoo

yay! did you see Mark Rencshaw's bad behavior?

7:01 am

rubyfoo

they've started but are not there yet. About half way to the big mountain of the day, an HC, then a steep descent and then a steep climb to a 1.

7:01 am

sandyloo

LOL I did, but he said the other guy was pushing him against the rail and he had no choice- i think he should have had a warning and a fine , not ousted

7:02 am

rubyfoo

I was happy to see Vino win the stage yesterday since Contador (BAD GUY) should have let him take the previous stage but didn't

7:03 am

sandyloo

ruby, I dont like vino but why are you so against Contador, I dont know much about him

7:03 am

rubyfoo

that's what the announcer thought, too. He said nobody was hurt and they do things that are a lot worse in the peleton like throwing water bottles at 60 MPH!

7:04 am

sandyloo

well I did see Cadel actually throwing punches in the Giro d'Italia

7:04 am

rubyfoo

I find him an arrogant jerk and he refuses to speak any French when almost all of the other riders at least try, even Vino. And with Vino, he was Lance's "enemy" but he served his 2 yrs suspension, has learned French and eaten enough humble pie to appear to be a nice guy.

7:04 am

sandyloo

I love all this stuff

7:04 am

rubyfoo

no kidding! I've never watched the Giro

7:05 am

rubyfoo

me, too, I'm having a wonderful time.

7:05 am

rubyfoo

and it's in the only air-conditioned room in the house although today it's a little cooler, so I can watch in the living room

7:05 am

rubyfoo

this is really my favorite thing

7:06 am

sandyloo

I think we should forgive him I guess, he is a good rider but often I think he rides for himself

7:06 am

rubyfoo

I wonder about Andy Schleck as he looks sort of slack-jawed and dumb. I hope he winds but I think Contador is stronger.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

First choice, for me, would be if Vino beats Contador! And that Lance should win one stage in the Pyrenees!!!!

7:07 am

rubyfoo

wins*

7:07 am

rubyfoo

I love Lance!

7:08 am

rubyfoo

Do you realize that you are my only friend who is the least bit interested in all this?

7:08 am

rubyfoo

*finally reached half*

7:09 am

sandyloo

It would be amusing if Vino won, that would make Contador really mad

7:09 am

sandyloo

I have no other either Ruby! My sister tries to take an interest but she knows nothing

7:09 am

rubyfoo

yes, very funny. Last year, when Lance was on Astana, I think there was a lot of bad blood between him and Contador and, of course, Vino was still banned

7:10 am

sandyloo

I hate it when they reach half because then it is the countdown to the end

7:10 am

rubyfoo

Did you notice how many ex-Astana guys are on Lance's team?

7:10 am

rubyfoo

me too

7:10 am

sandyloo

I am going to google and see if I can find something out , I love googling about the tour

7:11 am

sandyloo

I love the Tour- I would love to be in France and have some Tour Parties

7:11 am

rubyfoo

I haven't done that. Did you see my viper drama in the chog? I thought I had two vipers in my studio but they turned out to be legless lizards, "slow worms" and harmless. Not cute, but definitely not venomous and DH found them on Google, so we're sure.

7:11 am

sandyloo

get everyone to dress as their favourite tour rider LOL

7:12 am

rubyfoo

nobody seems interested around here, even last year when it came around "our" lake and through the village more than 100 times!

7:12 am

sandyloo

I did catch that, we have a lot of poisonous snakes here so I sympathise with you

7:13 am

rubyfoo

I really like reptiles, but not poisonous ones. And I was worried for the dogs because viper bites are lethal for animals

7:14 am

rubyfoo

I don't think I'd look very good in bicycle shorts and a jersey! Helmet would be good, though

7:14 am

sandyloo

I have had friends whose horses have been killed by snakes and my brothers dog got killed by one

7:15 am

rubyfoo

what kind of snakes?

7:15 am

sandyloo

I made that pavlova today as we had guests

7:15 am

sandyloo

around here we mainly get dugites and tiger snakes

7:16 am

sandyloo

I might do a curry this week and cook your recipes

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I will ook them up later, writing down the names

7:17 am

11:51 am

rubyfoo

they always say "Just give this to your dog; he'll love it!" NOT

11:51 am

Nancy Boy

There is some great stuff, but some of the national dishes are actually pretty nasty. I looove what I have for tonight though, doenjang jjigae! Sans anchovies to make it vegan, of course.

11:51 am

stidmama

not a lot FM, nightmares over student teaching coming up in about 5 weeks and vague nonspecific concerns of all kinds related to parenting. *sigh*

11:51 am

Minveryork

I know what you mean periwinkle. People who had to lose their house was because their dog needed many surgeries to remove cancer or something. Surgeries and the medication is what did them in. I would be so devastated if my dog died because I could not afford to take care of it. What some people will do for their pets. I think in this case dog ended up dying anyway.

11:51 am

rubyfoo

and 10 mins later, you hear a little noise in the nexzt room where he's deposited the pill

11:51 am

FMitch

awe (((stiddy)))

11:52 am

12:21 pm

Minveryork

How about a manual for hubbys who are a pain in the arse?

12:21 pm

Nancy Boy

There's a manual for coping with teens but it probably involves more heavy drinking than you're comfortable with ;)

12:22 pm

stidmama

Hi Rhondabe! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

12:26 pm

redturtlehead

I have 109! but of course spent much of the morning recovering frm a god-awful night shift.

12:26 pm

Rhondabe

you are right..it is LA7 thanks

12:27 pm

bichon

I don't think there's an la 7 either

12:27 pm

bichon

there are li 7's, but alas I don't have any

12:28 pm

stidmama

the li 7 is the most agile

12:28 pm

stidmama

is there more than one li 7?

12:28 pm

stidmama

ah, yes, one is a plural

12:28 pm

Rhondabe

so sorry.... strike all this . I must be too tired 4 this right now.!!

12:28 pm

stidmama

go red go... ((hugs for night shift))

12:28 pm

bichon

yes, there is another li 7/28

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

thanks Stid, night shift not fun lately.

12:29 pm

Rhondabe

That one I got!!

12:29 pm

Rhondabe

somehow

12:30 pm

rururocks

I have only a la 6 that doesn't plural

12:30 pm

stidmama

is it because it's summer time? are people doing stoopid things to make the night shift busier?

12:30 pm

Minveryork

Hello redturtlehead!How are you?Welcome to the grid

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I had a committed patient escape then call the police to come bak, and in between that a poor lady and a housefire, i can not get the burn smell out of my nose..

12:31 pm

bichon

red, have you watched "Boston Med"? Lots of ER action and also it's partly at the hospital where River's son had his surgery, Children's Hospital

12:31 pm

stidmama

gee whiz, red.

12:31 pm

Nancy Boy

I hear that, Red. Not that my job is anywhere near as stressful as I imagine yours to be, but sometimes at work I think I might be sleepwalking. It gets to two, three in the morning and I switch to autopilot mode!

12:32 pm

redturtlehead

I gottta admit Bichon, I never watch those shows. My old ED was on "Trauma Life in the ER" so I usually try to watch soomething less liek my job!

12:32 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I sometimes think this particular charge nurse tends to dump stuff on me....

12:33 pm

stidmama

medical shows make me nervous... except house. that one is just funny (peculiar and ha-ha)

12:33 pm

bichon

For the most part I stopped wathing medical shows around the time of Dr. Kildere [the remake] and Ben Casey.

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

I used to watch the old ER< but that was sort of like a night time soap opera!...

12:34 pm

bichon

Is the AC on in the PB?

12:34 pm

stidmama

FINALLY found a word that needed the Z!

12:34 pm

stidmama

oh oh, did I use a word? *checks chog*

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

I think its on full bast and the cabana boy can bring you a fluffy cold drink. or hot one if you want?

12:35 pm

Jellen

Hello...

12:36 pm

stidmama

hey jellen (((Hugs))) how are you doing today?

12:36 pm

redturtlehead

hello Jellen.

12:36 pm

Jellen

Much better...relatives on the way home!

12:36 pm

rururocks

I think the cabana boy thing is sexist.. and unbalanced.. if we have cabana boys for you girls and NB.. what about Cabana vixens for me and crossy

12:37 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

Uh, ruru, We in the PB are your Vixens....you didn't notice?

12:37 pm

rururocks

oh.....

12:38 pm

rururocks

hadn't thought of that..

12:38 pm

Jellen

Ruru's right...Tim would want females in the PB with certain, er, outstanding features...

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

Well, perhaps we can get a few ladies for you...

12:38 pm

Nancy Boy

I think that's fair enough, Ruru. The amount of times "leis" is featured in the grid, we should have the capacity for some flower garlands and coconut bras.

12:38 pm

Sally-catlover

I don't think it's "ladies" he wants...

12:39 pm

rururocks

<wants plumeria pasties

12:39 pm

Jellen

I think a coconut bra would be uncomfortable myself.

12:39 pm

stidmama

coconut bras would be VERY uncomfortable for anyone bigger than a training bra...

12:40 pm

rururocks

hard to palm too

12:40 pm

stidmama

snap sally!

12:40 pm

redturtlehead

pasties with tassels?

12:40 pm

Jellen

I had an acquaintance who wore a coconut bra to a party...she was VERY uncomfortable...

12:40 pm

Sally-catlover

Looon time since I could fit a training bra :-)

12:40 pm

Judi

Personally, I prefer bird feathers.

12:41 pm

stidmama

down to 86 and my eyes are getting tired. *sigh*

12:41 pm

Jellen

Ruru...lookie no touchie!

12:41 pm

stidmama

hello Judi!

12:41 pm

Nancy Boy

lol! C'mon, I know nothing of this world of female undergarments. Apart from being sneaked into ladies' changing rooms to help friends decide on ensembles...awwwkward.

12:41 pm

stidmama

I think I should list.

12:41 pm

Jellen

Ala Sally Rand, Judi?

12:41 pm

Sally-catlover

Ruru would probably like girls with bacon bras.

12:41 pm

Jellen

I think I might start...

12:41 pm

rururocks

no.. that's crossy

12:42 pm

Judi

Indeed. (Hello, to all!). Or, we could go all Dorothy Lamour and wear sarongs.

12:42 pm

Sally-catlover

Sorry, meant crossy. Very tired.

12:43 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm getting intimidated by all the lingerie getting thrown around. TIme for dinner I think. Later all...have fun!

12:43 pm

rururocks

that wouldn't be kosher for me sally

12:43 pm

rururocks

*giggle*

12:43 pm

Sally-catlover

lol ruru

12:44 pm

Jellen

Ruru wants to le 4/4 at the gals...

12:44 pm

stidmama

sarongs seem better than coconuts -- and fit the cabana theme...

12:45 pm

Jellen

Jilli's cabana boy was not wearing a sarong...

12:45 pm

Judi

A sarong is not lingerie. It's more of a mini dress.

12:45 pm

rururocks

you don't have to wear sarongs if you have a cute butt

12:46 pm

rururocks

I have 236 words and still have open tiles

12:46 pm

stidmama

then I probably need two or 3 sarongs, ruru! LOL

12:46 pm

stidmama

I have 241 and NBT. can I help you fill in the gaps ruru?

12:47 pm

Sally-catlover

One for each buttock, stid?

12:47 pm

rururocks

the i on the bottom... I need the stats

12:47 pm

Judi

If loving you's sarong, I don't wanna be right...

stidmama

12:49 pm

rururocks

rubyfoo

I HAD A BIG DRAMA (AS USUAL, BLUSHING) Thursday 'til yesterday. I thought there were two vipers in my studio but they turned out to be Anguis Fragillis, "slow worms" or legless lizards. They are not venomous.

1:03 pm

rururocks

<---hates snakes

1:03 pm

jessmom

www.betterworldbooks.com has good prices and free shipping too, charity site

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

and we found the nest under a rock, 4 eggs with live babies in them

1:03 pm

stidmama

oh! that's good that they are not venomous! are they cute?

1:03 pm

Sally-catlover

Oh ruby!! Saw the mention of lizards and wondered what it meant. rofl!!

1:03 pm

stidmama

hey jessmom

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

not as cute as other snakes -- no patterning, just shiny brown

1:03 pm

cbr1965

They are great books. I highly recommend them. The subtitled movie is really good as well. The second movie just came out but I haven't seen it yet.

1:03 pm

stidmama

wow. eggs! that's a real find, ruby

1:03 pm

Sally-catlover

They are very good for the garden. I hope you didn't kill the parents?

1:03 pm

jessmom

hi stid

1:04 pm

Jellen

Dragon is the first, I believe, ruru

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

one was half dead already, but we killed the other one when we still thought it was a viper. Just because of the dogs.

1:04 pm

Sally-catlover

Often find slow worms in compost bins, heaps.

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

We have tons of other lizards, but these were very big, like 18"

1:04 pm

Sally-catlover

Ooooh ruby! Very sad.

1:05 pm

rururocks

the politically correct thing to say would be speed challenged worms

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

I'm not afraid of snakes, but husband stepped up and overcame his terrible fear to protect our dogs.

1:05 pm

Sally-catlover

What on earth made you think they were vipers? They aren't at all alike.

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

but they look like snakes, very interesting

1:05 pm

bichon

ruby, have you heard more from river?

1:05 pm

Sally-catlover

They wouldn't have hurt the dogs you know.

1:05 pm

stidmama

LOL ruru!

1:06 pm

stidmama

that's too bad ruby.

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

their heads are pointy and there are only 2 kinds of snakes in this region, vipers (very common with a pointy head and the same size as these) and coulouvre (sp?) very big and non-venomous (not so common)

1:06 pm

stidmama

do you have vipers in that part of france?

1:06 pm

Sally-catlover

Would love to have slow worms in our garden. We only have grass snakes, and love to see them.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

Vipers would, though, their bite is lethal for dogs and other animals.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

Grass snakes are really pretty.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

Keith is going to be OK! The operation was a success and once they follow him for a couple of months, he should be good as new!!!!

1:07 pm

cbr1965

If you have a Kindle, I think I can send the Larsson books to you - or if you want to read them on the computer.

1:08 pm

Sally-catlover

Keith?

1:08 pm

rururocks

I like to hold books in my hand

1:08 pm

rururocks

thank you though

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

Ruby tried to get at one of these which is why husband killed it. He was afraid she'd get bitten. From what I've read (since) slow worms will bite if trapped

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

river's son who had the heart surgery

1:08 pm

rururocks

do they bite slowly?

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

yeeees

1:09 pm

Sally-catlover

Ah thank you. Knew son had had surgery, but not his name.

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

I was surprised that they bite. Other lizards are very shy. Slow worms will shed their tails when caught, also.

1:10 pm

Jellen

brb...

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

we don't kill anything in the garden, have a little colony of very cute field mice, lizards, bees, bats (from a cave up above us), and we don't use insecticides

1:11 pm

stidmama

yes! down to 80 and still listless.

1:11 pm

Sally-catlover

Well you'll know another time to just release them into the garden.

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

I also rescue bees if they get in the house

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

yes, for sure. But I had heard so much about vipers, that I didn't look them up fast enough

1:12 pm

Sally-catlover

How did you find out you were mistaken about the vipers?

1:12 pm

stidmama

ah, the printer is working again! :-D

when we found the eggs and I remembered that vipers were viviparous. Then husband googled reptiles and amphibians of the alps and VOILA he found a photo of the exact creatures

1:13 pm

Sally-catlover

Been working on that one in secret, have you Haz?

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

hello haz!

1:13 pm

Sally-catlover

Poor babies.

1:13 pm

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

I used to have a very large spider just outside that I would feed flies

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I was hoping it was a word as I still need 148!

1:15 pm

Kateq

nope--the l's are driving me mad

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

it was an argiope and I named her Caliope

1:16 pm

stidmama

that's funny ruby... we have house spiders that I protect fiercely while they are sitting on their egg sacs, then twice a year when it's not too cold we get all the cobwebs down. We don't have many problems with indoors insects.

First three letters, to make a mistake, then word for a clue but change the last consonant to a vowel.

1:39 pm

Sally-catlover

Haz's clue is better :-)

1:40 pm

Minveryork

er 7/32 means promoting or inducing nasal discharge

1:40 pm

Minveryork

1:42 pm

Jellen

Hi, helensgirl

1:42 pm

Mom

Ruru probably is too young to remember antennas on the roof tops :)
Hello everyone

1:42 pm

helensgirlkid

They still have them on cars - old cars, no doubt!

1:42 pm

Jellen

Hello, Mom!

1:43 pm

Haz1558

Oh, Mom, what are you looking for from ruru?

1:43 pm

rururocks

thanks..

1:43 pm

helensgirlkid

But they so often use th an7 word instead now.

1:43 pm

Mom

{{Jellen}} hello, are you refreshed from yesterday?

1:43 pm

Soodle

I remember the ae's on the top of the TV -we used to call them rabbits ears....

1:44 pm

Jellen

Much better, Mom!

1:44 pm

Mom

Hi Haz, oh nothing, nothing at all

1:44 pm

Mom

oh Soodle, I remember those

1:44 pm

Mom

so glad to hear that Jellen

1:44 pm

helensgirlkid

Just got FIREWORKS - finally abandoned preconceived notions about the wi8!

1:44 pm

Mom

congrats Helensgirlkid

1:44 pm

Jellen

Yay, helensgirl!!!

1:45 pm

Jellen

BBL-watching a DVD with Tim and bro...

1:45 pm

Mom

bye bye Jellen

1:45 pm

helensgirlkid

Believe it or not there are still people out there using rabbit ears - I found that out by hearing all about how to adjust the rabbit ears for the new digital signals (good luck, basically). They were a pain. There was one station we had to have someone stand next to the TV and touch (not hold, just touch) the top of one of them!

1:46 pm

Mom

geez, Helensgirlkid, I can believe it. I told my sweetie last night these new HD TV's remind me of the olden days ..... turn them on and wait for them to warm up

1:46 pm

helensgirlkid

But from reports from my ex-husband, satellite dishes are just as bad, only you have to go up on the roof to wiggle them.

1:47 pm

Soodle

That was back in the days when the youngest person in the house WAS the remote control. 'Go and change the station', 'Go and turn the volume up' etc....

1:47 pm

Mom

absolutely Soodle.

1:47 pm

FMitch

lol Soodle!

1:47 pm

Mom

back then you could eat while watching tv, you got the exercise from changing the channels

1:47 pm

helensgirlkid

Have you noticed, mom, - a glitch in the signal used to be a sort of wobble in the picture, maybe a little hiss or buzz in the sound; now the picture freezes and the sound doesn't come back for a second or two after the picture does.

1:48 pm

FMitch

I remember our 1st remote conrol for the video and TV - it had a 15 foot lead on it.

1:48 pm

Mom

yes I have noticed that

1:48 pm

Soodle

I WAS that remote control....

1:48 pm

Mom

wow, FMitch

1:48 pm

Mom

lol Soodle

1:48 pm

Sally-catlover

lol FM

1:48 pm

helensgirlkid

Oh, yes, and "go and twiddle the vertical control - no, no , too much, no , back again. Try the horizontal."

1:49 pm

FMitch

oh and the video was betamax.

1:49 pm

rururocks

ar 7 anyone?

1:49 pm

helensgirlkid

Then colour came in, and after you got the picture to stand still on the screen, you could try to get it to be less green, or purple.

1:49 pm

Mom

ar 7 and departures at the airport Ruru

1:49 pm

FMitch

opp of departure ruru

1:50 pm

Sally-catlover

The ar7 of the Queen of Sheba

1:50 pm

Haz1558

ar7 - the opposite of departure.

1:50 pm

helensgirlkid

ar 7 - when your flight finally lands

1:50 pm

rururocks

OH jeez.. *smacks head*

1:50 pm

FMitch

*lobs tuna in rurus direction*

1:50 pm

Soodle

I remember watching B&W tv, through the coloured celophane paper of chocolates, thinking 'Wow' This is colour TV.

1:51 pm

FMitch

LOL!

1:51 pm

Soodle

The purple ones from Quality Street, and old Lucozade bottles!!

1:51 pm

helensgirlkid

OK, who else saw that early 3D movie where the car on the roller coaster came right out and landed in your lap?

1:51 pm

FMitch

The 1st TV prog I remember seeing in colour was 'Bewitched'

1:52 pm

helensgirlkid

Or very old Coke bottles

1:52 pm

FMitch

and as the credits started as a cartoon I thought it was great until Mum said it was bath time and the rest of the prog was real people. I was so disapointed.

1:52 pm

Mom

we didn't have a color tv until 1972, by then pretty much everything was color.

1:53 pm

Mom

I liked Bewitched

1:53 pm

Mom

until Dick Sargeant came on as Darrin

1:53 pm

Sally-catlover

I remember going to a neighbour's to watch the coronation on a tiny TV in black and white. There were about 20 of us piled into their sitting room. First TV I ever saw.

1:53 pm

helensgirlkid

Of course, for a couple of years we had a TV with NO picture - we used it as an alarm clock. Turned it on with the sound way up on the way to bed (we could sleep through the hiss easily) and the science class blasted us out of bed at 6 am. Then we had a baby, and didn't need an alarm clock any more.

1:54 pm

Sally-catlover

rofl henensgirl!

1:54 pm

FMitch

funny, helens!

1:54 pm

m9f9l

hello all

1:54 pm

Soodle

Where I grew up, bath night was Saturday - whether you were dirty or not. Batman used to be on the TV, and after baths, all us kids used to tuck the towels down our collars, and charge up and down the road, going Dana dana dana etc...the batman theme tune!!

1:54 pm

Mom

lol Soodle

1:55 pm

helensgirlkid

We watched the coronation standing on the street outside a furniture store downtown - with a couple of hundred other people, little kids on shoulders, much jostling for position, and much arguing about who was which - no sound, of course!

1:55 pm

m9f9l

Gage was just 'swimming' in the bathtub

1:55 pm

Sally-catlover

Did you work out who was Queen?

1:55 pm

Mom

I had better scoot off here, I have a watermelon to cut up. Thanks for all the memories. {{Hugs}} to all of you

1:55 pm

Soodle

Bye Mom.

1:55 pm

1:57 pm

Sally-catlover

I expect Prince Philip knows the difference.

1:57 pm

helensgirlkid

Watched the fireworks at the end of the show at the Stampede last night (from the roof) and saw they are using a lot of strong spotlights this year - anybody else remember all those war surplus anti-aircraft spotlights that showed up for big used car sales and opening new supermarkets all through the 1950s?

1:57 pm

FMitch

Hi Nonnie and m9

1:58 pm

NonnieLight

I remember the spotlights, helen.

1:58 pm

m9f9l

hi FM

1:58 pm

helensgirlkid

I guess as those wore out, the cost of new ones was way too high. I assume that the Stampede has discovered that new technology brought them back down.

1:58 pm

NonnieLight

We would "follow" the light to see what the event was.

1:58 pm

2:02 pm

helensgirlkid

Mistyping of Bridgeland as Breidgeland!

2:02 pm

FMitch

2:03 pm

helensgirlkid

2:03 pm

FMitch

lol

2:03 pm

welki

2:03 pm

Aloyisius

h'mm, a short sarong could be akin to a loin cloth?

2:04 pm

helensgirlkid

I'd better go eat something - I'm getting light headed. Back later for clues, I hope

2:04 pm

FMitch

ruru doesn't look good in high heels though - I had to stop him doing that.

2:04 pm

welki

it's not hunger .. it's the imagery of ru in a sarong that's making you lightheaded

2:04 pm

Dorens

2:40 pm

Dorens

2:40 pm

Atalante

Dorens

2:41 pm

Minveryork

Hi Atalante! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

2:41 pm

She is indeed. She's staring at her as we speak, in the manner of an adoring spaniel.

2:42 pm

Atalante

awwwwwwwww

2:42 pm

Dorens

no problemo, i'll come into the pb with you.. didn't know you were there though

2:42 pm

Haz can count the hours LOL

2:43 pm

Sally-catlover

ruby thought there were two "vipers" in the house. Her husband killed one, then they found out it was a slow worm and found the nest with babies in.

2:44 pm

Dorens

i still don't know what a slow worm is. guess i

2:44 pm

Haz1558

Nicely summed up, Sally.

2:44 pm

Dorens

i'll go google that too

2:44 pm

Haz1558

Can you get slow glow worms? Or go slow worms (ones that are on strike?)

2:45 pm

Sally-catlover

Slow worms are legless lizards and are brilliant for the garden. I have a feeling they are endangered in the UK, but not sure. We would /love/ to have them in our garden, but although we do have grass snakes we have never seen a slow worm.

2:45 pm

Atalante

go slow glow worm

2:45 pm

Dorens

yes. just read they are a protected species in the UK

2:45 pm

Sally-catlover

We do however have glow worms :-)

2:45 pm

Dorens

and their biggest predators are house cats... no wonder i haven't seen any... with my two ferocious felines

2:46 pm

Sally-catlover

I am NOT getting at ruby here but I do think it is a shame when things get killed through ignorance.

2:46 pm

Haz1558

I'm surprised the German word isn't longer. They haven't really put their backs into it at all.

2:46 pm

Dorens

it is unfortunate

2:46 pm

Sally-catlover

ruby, if you read this I am NOT getting at you.

2:47 pm

rururocks

her husband killed them not ruby

2:47 pm

Dorens

hah, true haz.. german words can get particularly unwieldy to the non german speakers

2:47 pm

Atalante

there is an umlaut or two that I couldnt put on

2:47 pm

Dorens

oh then it's ok. nobody likes her husband, least of all her

2:48 pm

rururocks

where would you wear an umlat?

2:48 pm

Vicuna

A u with an umlaut is all that an exotic dancer needs.

2:48 pm

Vicuna

Hello, all.

2:48 pm

Haz1558

Let's face it, I knew Ata would over-compensate.

2:49 pm

rururocks

shudda had an umlat for breakfast

2:49 pm

Vicuna

How is everyone? I'm sorry I started this grid, but I'm committed now.

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

Minveryork

Hello Vicuna! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

Haz1558

I'm well, Vicuna.

2:51 pm

Haz1558

2:52 pm

Haz1558

I'm just tickled to find my usual garb, along with the pearls.

2:53 pm

Vicuna

I'm at 2/3 now and at the point where I realize that there are still as many left as an entire grid, and these are only the ones I haven't seen easily.

2:53 pm

rururocks

2:53 pm

Dorens

Vicuna

2:55 pm

Sally-catlover

Do you have the sensible shoes as well Haz?

2:55 pm

Dorens

2:55 pm

Haz1558

rururocks

2:56 pm

Atalante

2:56 pm

dcseain

2:56 pm

rururocks

I am not faking that ata

2:56 pm

Dorens

2:56 pm

Haz1558

LIke those vipers.

2:57 pm

Vicuna

A re4 word, but an un- word.

3:23 pm

Vicuna

Maybe she found the cupboard where FM was keeping George.

3:23 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye kje! Have a good nap. I will see you later on.

3:23 pm

Vicuna

*oops, I may have said too much*

3:23 pm

Haz1558

George is testifying in a court case.

3:23 pm

Atalante

FM stole george?

3:24 pm

Haz1558

In her dreams.

3:24 pm

She was keeping him in a cupboard in the PB, in the certainty that Haz would never go in there.

JBV

3:45 pm

dcseain

hm. muffins barely get mixed, so probably should mix it up first.

3:50 pm

dcseain

googled about the milk. I'll mix it first, and add a touch more butter.

3:50 pm

Atalante

makes sense

3:50 pm

Sally-catlover

Curious. Why the dried milk? Is it just that you've run out of fresh?

3:51 pm

dcseain

exactly, sally, no fresh nor buttermilk, but there is powdered.

3:51 pm

dcseain

and i don't want to go out :)

3:51 pm

JBV

yay, sally!

3:51 pm

Sally-catlover

Used to love buttermilk. Had it in Holland and got hooked. Haven't had that for ages.

3:52 pm

dcseain

i normally use buttermilk in my baking, or add vinegar to fresh milk

3:52 pm

Jellen

That reminds me...need to get powdered milk...dietician said to add to milkshakes for Tim

3:52 pm

dcseain

that makes sense, dense calories and some protein

3:53 pm

Jellen

3:53 pm

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

We are average Hot 91 degrees and some sort of humidity. I have the ac set at a conservative 78.

3:56 pm

4:18 pm

Nancy Boy

hey, cool, Seain! We're getting new neighbours upstairs, really sweet couple, had them over for dinner today

4:19 pm

cbr1965

Today, (for the first time) I entered the words into Lickety - how do I move them over or I need to print it and type them all into Babble? I guess I should have read the instructions first!

4:19 pm

dcseain

me too. He's really down in the dumps with the 20 gradient, up from zero 6wks post-op

4:20 pm

JBV

new neighbors - sounds interesting

4:20 pm

4:21 pm

cbr1965

I don't even see an option for expert on Lickety so I guess I'm not one. I just see the bulk add/grab button.

4:22 pm

Nancy Boy

Looks like noodles to me, but anyone's guess ;) looks like I was enjoying it though...very focused!

4:22 pm

dcseain

then you're using lickety. there is a link to email him for Expert, off to the right. PC only for Expert

4:23 pm

I already e-mailed him about the beta (just didn't know it was called expert). Thanks - guess my fingers will be tired!

4:23 pm

JBV

dcseain

4:24 pm

4:39 pm

redturtlehead

Well Minver I expect it too cool off in October...

4:39 pm

JBV

thanks, NB, it's really exciting!

4:40 pm

redturtlehead

but for you probably September, as you are in NY!

4:40 pm

dcseain

it cools off in Oct or early Nov around here.

4:41 pm

redturtlehead

Ahh, but I just looked out and thunderbumper is brewing so maybe we will get 2-3 degrees cooler...

4:41 pm

Nancy Boy

You're telling me it's exciting! Really good to hear it's moving forward, too; hope this is the start of something amazing!

4:41 pm

JBV

well, I'm not getting ahead of myself, NB, although his last email just invited me and my whole family to visit them!

4:42 pm

JBV

they live in one of the most beautiful places on earth - the foot of the Italian alps, near Torino

4:42 pm

dcseain

very nice, jbv :)

4:43 pm

redturtlehead

I think you should make some visiting plans, jbv, it would be a real experience!

4:43 pm

JBV

one step at a time, red, but don't think I haven't already considered it

4:44 pm

Nancy Boy

Well take it at the pace that feels right, JBV, but know that my fingers are firmly crossed for you :)

4:44 pm

JBV

i'm so glad I'm retired, I have nothing but time to devote to reading and studying Italian right now

4:44 pm

JBV

thanks, NB, looks like we both have a big family event in the future

4:45 pm

Nancy Boy

Yeaaah, but I'm trying not to think about mine ;)

4:45 pm

JBV

ok, forget I said anything :)

4:46 pm

Nancy Boy

It's only because I'm so scared! Really excited, of course, and so glad I have this opportunity, but I'm terrified as well.

4:46 pm

JBV

understand completely

4:46 pm

dcseain

NB, thinking on visiting family on Korea?

4:48 pm

KatieMcG

clue for the first in5/20 please

4:48 pm

dcseain

wow, ti6 was first made of shredded silver in Germany in 1610

4:48 pm

Nancy Boy

Well Seain, for my birthday, a lot of my friends grouped together and bought me a trip back to South Korea...so I can tell my family that I'm, like, alive.

4:48 pm

dcseain

in5 - a smallish waterway

4:48 pm

Nancy Boy

So basically they bought me a can of worms and a tin opener ;)

4:48 pm

KatieMcG

wow that is fantastic NB

4:48 pm

Jellen

Wow, NB!

4:48 pm

KatieMcG

ty dc, I'm having a thick night but am now down to 33 to go

4:48 pm

dcseain

that was sweet of them, though, my what a mixed bag for you. *hugs*

4:49 pm

Nancy Boy

Yeah, they are great people :) thanks, Seain! But, I don't want to steal JBV's thunder :P and I am definitely not getting my hopes up, so...

4:49 pm

dcseain

did the trip include a hotel for you?

4:50 pm

JBV

are you going alone NB?

4:51 pm

Nancy Boy

Well hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, I will be able to stay with family. If not, I'm pretty good at travelling on the cheap ;)

4:52 pm

dcseain

:) may it pass well for you

4:52 pm

Nancy Boy

And yeah, JBV - couple of people offered to come with me, but not sure how fair it'd be to them. Whatever happens I'd be an emotional wreck, plus I'd have to be travelling quite a lot there - starting where most of my family is in Seoul, but going from there...

4:52 pm

JBV

i'm sure it will all work out, NB - your profile quote will see you through

4:53 pm

JBV

well, you can always log on and check in here for moral support

4:53 pm

dcseain

indeed, as JBV said :)

4:54 pm

KatieMcG

when are you planning to go NB?

4:54 pm

Nancy Boy

well, thank you both :) I'm very deliberately not hoping for too much though - I'm hoping a few of the cousins in my generation might understand, though.

4:54 pm

Nancy Boy

Erk, Katie. In about a month.

4:55 pm

KatieMcG

good luck with it, I am sure it will be better than you think

4:56 pm

dcseain

oh, NB, quasi-randomly, there are several Korean Chung Dae Churches around here. Do you know what that is? I know Christian, but where in the protestant spectrum?

4:56 pm

KatieMcG

19 to go victory is in sight!!

4:56 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks :) I can't even describe how I feel about it, honestly!!

4:56 pm

dcseain

go, go Katie, form of victory!

4:57 pm

Nancy Boy

Hm, not to sure about that, Seain! My family are Buddhist Koreans, so that's all I really have experience of...could try and find out when I'm there, though!

4:58 pm

Nancy Boy

er, too sure, that is.

4:58 pm

JBV

have to go cook - is it a coincidence I chose to make zuccini and spaghetti??? have fun everyone, see you later or tomorrow

4:58 pm

Probably wouldn't hurt for me to brush up on stuff like that ;) I'm already learning Korean like crazy.

5:02 pm

dcseain

I live near Annandale, VA, which has more signage in Korean than in English in it.

5:03 pm

Nancy Boy

really, Seain? I didn't know there was such a Korean community near you! I was excited just to discover a Korean supermarket near me ;)

5:04 pm

KatieMcG

5:08 pm

Morning everyone. I can 't cope with these newish US abbreviations. What is VA and what is the smallest state?

5:08 pm

Minveryork

That re 8/40 word is re plus an ar 6/18 word cbr1965

5:09 pm

dcseain

VA is Virginia and Rhode Island (RI) is the smallest state

5:09 pm

Nancy Boy

Would love that - something tells me Little Korea would be easier to handle than the Big Korea ;)

5:09 pm

Minveryork

Hello lynxxx! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:12 pm

Minveryork

The re6/18 word is re plus ri 4/4 word and re 7/28 is that re 6/18 word plus a single hump letter cbr1965.

5:13 pm

dcseain

and lynxx -- http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/abbr_
state.txt is a useful reference.

5:13 pm

lynxxx

No DC, just started again and was looking at the chat. The postal abbreviations are sometimes quite bewildering to non US people

5:14 pm

dcseain

yes, and we forget that sometimes :">

5:14 pm

KatieMcG

I have to look them up wh** they come up in chat

5:14 pm

lynxxx

I didn't even know Rhode Island was a State! doesn't sound like it should be

5:15 pm

dcseain

for most states, abbrev is 1st and last letters, though there are exeptions like TX (Texas)

5:16 pm

Riverdance

the M states are also confusing

5:16 pm

dcseain

Rhode Island, formally the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a tiny state bought from the natives by people that left Massachusetts back when. It has some islands, largest of which is Block Island, but is mostly on the mainland

5:16 pm

Riverdance

help with ne7 please

5:17 pm

Minveryork

That ne 7/32 word is ne*****/nor Riverdance.

5:17 pm

dcseain

MA - massachusetts, MD- maryland, ME - maine, MI - michigan, MN - minnesota, MO - Missouri, MS - mississippi, MT - montana. they are confusing

hi NB

5:20 pm

lynxxx

No-one ever spells the States out anymore? it seems to be lacking in pride if you know what I mean and your State names are quite lovely - unlike ours

5:20 pm

KatieMcG

ty dc & Min (2 left)

5:21 pm

dcseain

we usually only spell them out the first time in an article, and most never spell them out informally.

5:21 pm

dcseain

two-word states take 1st letter of each word

5:21 pm

Minveryork

Just spelling some of the states can be a challenge so it is easier to just use the state abbreviations lynxxx

5:22 pm

Nancy Boy

states...we only get counties, what a cheat!

5:22 pm

dcseain

massachusetts and mississippi and illinois are hard for most to spell, for example

5:23 pm

Riverdance

I get confused with our counties NB just like you may with our states.

5:23 pm

dcseain

UK>Nation>County. US>State>County/City/Parish/Borouh/Cen
sus Area, depending where you are

5:23 pm

dcseain

they parallel

5:23 pm

lynxxx

But aren't they lovely to look at - sure beats MS & MI & IS (if that is right)

5:23 pm

pythonx

minveryork, if you think the states are bad, try remembering Saskatchewan

5:23 pm

pythonx

evening all, btw

I remember Saskatchewan but not how to spell it.

that's Sasquatch, ruru

5:24 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Katie!

5:24 pm

rururocks

*giggle*

5:24 pm

Minveryork

For example, MA, how many s's and t's does it have & MI,how many i's&s's does it have and Arkansas why is there a silent s at the end of it? Why can't they all be easy four or five letter words like Ohio,Texas,&Utah.

5:24 pm

dcseain

IL for illinois, and you have a point lyn. Our local paper usually spells the states out, mostly to avoid confusion between the VA and Virginia, though DC is referred to as the District.

5:25 pm

Jellen

Yay, Katie!!!

5:25 pm

Nancy Boy

I guess you're right, Seain. Mine is boring though. London is in...Greater London. Someone got paid big bucks for that one!

5:34 pm

rururocks

Lackanookie sounds Indian -ish

Minveryork

You can still open Lickety's in another window lynxxx

5:42 pm

rururocks

what do you mean lynxxx

5:43 pm

jillibus

If there IS a Lickety list.

5:43 pm

jillibus

Hi all.

5:43 pm

dcseain

babble is adding functionality that makes lickety's list obsolete

5:43 pm

lynxxx

but that is ony if Lickety maintains his list - not sure that he will Min

5:43 pm

kje

ty min

5:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Huh? New format? What happened!!!

5:43 pm

rururocks

Minveryork

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

5:44 pm

dcseain

hi, jilli and kaplan and kje

5:44 pm

rururocks

that would make lickety obsolete

5:44 pm

jillibus

I don't think you get a list, just a clue like ae6/18.

5:44 pm

Nancy Boy

hi, Jill :)

5:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I will check it out, but change sucks.

5:44 pm

jillibus

Hi everyone

5:44 pm

lynxxx

Lots of nice features coming however! like rotation - Yay!

5:44 pm

jillibus

I love Expert and am not thrilled with the changes shown.

5:45 pm

Nancy Boy

Rotation, Lynx?

5:45 pm

dcseain

clue list is clue list, no?

5:45 pm

Minveryork

What do you mean by rotation? Are you able to move the letters around with this new Babble version?

5:46 pm

dcseain

yes, i'm excited at the ability to rotate the grid, too

5:46 pm

lynxxx

The grid will flip around NB - so the bottom left hand becomes the right top hand

5:46 pm

dcseain

that list in new babble fills in words for the ones you find, as does lickety's

5:46 pm

mkg

ar 5 10 the 4th one please.

5:46 pm

Minveryork

Then wouldn't people be babbling with different grids?

5:46 pm

kje

uno

5:46 pm

jillibus

The great thing about Lickety's list is having the words fly into the right place. I don't see that happneing with the new style.

5:47 pm

Minveryork

Go kje go!

5:47 pm

kje

done

5:47 pm

Jellen

Congrats, kje!!!

5:47 pm

Minveryork

Maybe we can all beg&plead with Lickety to continue

5:47 pm

dcseain

congrats, kje!

5:47 pm

jillibus

min, the whole grid will rotate.

5:47 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations kje on your fireworks! Hooray for U!

5:48 pm

mkg

is lickety quitting????????

5:48 pm

dcseain

are you referring to entry, jilli as in chat vs grid?

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like being able to flip it around, like in wordsplay. No, it's not different grids, it's just rotating it 45 degrees/

5:48 pm

Minveryork

So then the tile stats would have to change with grid

5:48 pm

lynxxx

Congrats kje!

5:48 pm

jillibus

I will also miss the link to morewords in Expert's Resources, making alt-tab unnecessary.

5:48 pm

Minveryork

Hello mkg! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

5:49 pm

jillibus

Maybe, min.

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, I don't think so- it's just changing perspective.

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Can we adapt? Be brave, people!

5:49 pm

dcseain

agreed, kaplan

5:49 pm

Minveryork

I am still hoping for sound effects w/fireworks in the new Babble version. Not sure if I'll like other features

5:50 pm

Nancy Boy

lol, Kap!

5:50 pm

dcseain

good point about tile stats, they ought rotate too. I'll pose that question over there.

5:50 pm

Riverdance

we are all STRONG and can brave anything

5:50 pm

Minveryork

Hello Kaplan the Magne!How are you? Welcome to grid

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

5:50 pm

lynxxx

Did you all see that players can enter a clue and when someone asks for a clue for say as5.10 that the clue will come up? (if one has been entered)

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hi- I have had insomnia all weekend .

5:50 pm

Nancy Boy

oh, that'll be good, Lynx!

5:50 pm

jillibus

If the new style takes away my enjoyment, it will be bye-bye Babble.

5:51 pm

5:51 pm

dcseain

good point, and ty, river

7:25 pm

featherbee

you get a towel, work fast, and try to wrap her up like a little burrito, with all sharp appendages safely tucked inside. it's not easy. but if you do get her immobilized, then you can try to do the gel. set her between your legs/knees to help hold her still so your hands are free. bring bandages. for you.

7:26 pm

dcseain

towel method is your friend

7:26 pm

When I ra 5/10d myself out of bed, I was determined to start babbling early&finish.But then I was wi 8/75 from the grid. I was he4/6 up with household chores and started the grid late. At le 5/10 the end is ne4/4 I can do a story filled with hi5/12. After 200 words I felt like such a di4/10. I was in such a di6/24 & I also felt like I was in di 4/5 straits & called for my th5/12 monkeys. Monkeys were a pain in the ar 4/4 though. Wh4/9 I yelled,"come hi 6/24!" they just remained id 4/5 and did not budge. It ir 4/4 me wh 4/9 they are obstinate and it makes me re 4/4 mad. It's ra 4/4 for them to cooperate with me. Had to drag them by the ea4/4.My monkeys were running around wi4/9 in the pool ar4/4 and didn't want to come. I told them they ei6/21 had to come help or I drain the pool & they go to th5/12 cages. Well, They started to wreak havoc upon th 5/12 ar 7/40. They got all ri 4/4 up over the va 4/7 number of words. Th 4/5 the te 5/10 started flowing and they became wh7/48 and wh5/20d about being too ti 4/4d. I wanted to kick all of them in the re4/4. I finally let monkeys go to the di 5/12 so they could eat dinner. They tw 5/18 around in excitement & sprinted off. I think if they had vi 4/7s they would have left the country.I want to hi4/5 new monkeys. Now hubby is being a he4/5. I can he4/5 him getting impatient waiting for the computer. The more hubby he5/12 my fingers typing,the more agitated he gets. Husband gets into a big sn4/4.We are ri5/16 when it comes to computer. I wish I could get another cheap laptop on sa4/4.Anyway,I will let him be a st7/28 and st 5/10 the computer. Now I'm going to te4/4 myself away from this and ri 4/4 out of this seat and watch My Name is Ea 4/4 wh 5/20 he is on Farmville.I will be back later on to enter the re4/4 of my words.I might save the la 4/4 word until right before the flip. Adios!

8:14 pm

8:14 pm

Uneaixoise

not bad, nef -- went to list with 60 words remaining

8:15 pm

Nef

okay, I'll dive in then! Thanks for the encouraging words!

8:15 pm

8:18 pm

Uneaixoise

8:18 pm

Also I don't think that anyone has a movin icon today.

8:18 pm

Uneaixoise

yeah, i don't think that's the primary cause
