for the en 9 and 10... think of the inflammation of the brain... en...... change the endings...

1:21 am

Christine

only that, I've diminished your name.

1:22 am

Christine

What the heck - I lost the start of my post, which was (of course) terribly interesting and thought provoking - and every word spelled correctly.

1:23 am

jillibus

I've done that too, Christine, by hitting Enter instead of Shift

1:24 am

Christine

Yes, but it's not really my fault, it's the perishin' gremlins.

1:24 am

rururocks

thanks dee

1:24 am

m9f9l

lol. when that happens...before you do anything else.. try an edit 'undo'. sometimes brings it back

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

yqw ru

1:24 am

rururocks

are there more en larege words?

1:25 am

jillibus

two en7s, ruru

1:25 am

m9f9l

wow ruru..if I knew what those were I might be able to tell you!LOL

1:26 am

Christine

m9f91 - what is edit 'undo', and how do I do it?

1:28 am

m9f9l

well sometimes my silly laptop highlights everything and the next thing I do overwrites it all. when that happens.. I right click and the menu says "undo".

1:28 am

jillibus

Christine, are you using a Mac or a PC?

1:28 am

m9f9l

sometimes if i've done a couple things i have to undo twice..

1:29 am

m9f9l

but i often get back what i've lost.

1:29 am

Christine

It's not a Mac, I know that much - it's a laptop from HP.

1:29 am

westford

eek it's cold in here

1:29 am

jillibus

m9 -- are YOU using a Mac or a PC?

1:30 am

m9f9l

i'm talking pc laptop.

1:30 am

m9f9l

it happens on Tim's Dell all the time..

1:30 am

jillibus

Christine, that's a PC. At the top of your screen, do you see "Edit"? Or are you using Expert?

1:31 am

m9f9l

the thumbs rest on things that end up doing things i don't want to happen... it's very sensitive.

1:31 am

Christine

I keep saying I'll go to the adult education classes to learn how to do the things I know it's capable of doing (!!) but either the classes fill up the day they're announced, or there's not enough interest, and they return my check.

1:31 am

m9f9l

right click is quicker than finding the edit tab..

1:32 am

m9f9l

christine... write something in the chat window. then click and drag mouse over it to highlight it. then type something else. THEN.. right click with your mouse and select "undo".

1:33 am

jillibus

Yes, it is.

1:33 am

Christine

Yes it does have "Edit", which I use to copy & paste.

1:33 am

jillibus

Well, "Edit" also has Undo at the top

1:34 am

jillibus

But as m9 said, right-clicking is quicker

1:34 am

jillibus

and it's available if you're using Expert

1:35 am

m9f9l

we lost christine!LOL

1:36 am

jillibus

(There's are lovely flowers in the grid -- pe7/32)

1:36 am

Christine

Aha - there was no "undo" in edit, but I see it's there when I right-click. I guess if you want to delete more than a couple of word, you'd use that, or I highlight and hit backspace.

1:37 am

Christine

Jillibus, that's the one I tried to post as an icon for Jellen & Tim..

1:37 am

m9f9l

the undo is for bring BACK what you deleted.

1:38 am

m9f9l

I have japanese tree pe flower...

1:38 am

jillibus

You couldn't get a picture from Google Images, Christine? And no Undo in Edit???? Maybe it was greyed out.

1:39 am

Christine

Oh, thank you. I knew you could do that, because back in the old days, when they made me go to work each day, I had to transcribe a lot ofinfo at the bank, and I now remember doing just that. Thanks again.

1:40 am

jillibus

How lovely, m9!

1:40 am

Christine

Edit has cut, copy, paste, t all, and find on this page.

1:41 am

Christine

that should be select all

1:42 am

jillibus

My Edit has Undo and Redo above those, Christine.

1:44 am

m9f9l

not this icon jilli. this icon is my neighbor's roses.

1:45 am

jillibus

I just meant that having tree pe7 is lovely, m9 :)

1:45 am

m9f9l

ok.. this is my japanese tree pe7

1:46 am

Back with a cup of tea, and ready to find the 139 hiding in the grid. Thanks to y'all for hints on edit/undo, and if I've not conquecred changing my icon, tomorrow I'll ask for help. (I have the info you gave me, long ago, Jillibus).

1:57 am

m9f9l

happy fence?!?!?!?

1:57 am

jillibus

I did too, ages ago -- my cousin's wife wrote an award-winning book with that title so I'm really aware of it. Plus there's a lake in Quebec by that name.

1:58 am

Christine

Garden or stolen gems?

1:58 am

westford

sort of a sunken wall m9

1:58 am

Christine

Oh, I know that one, thanks.

1:58 am

jillibus

not exactly a fence, m9, but a barrier

1:59 am

m9f9l

huh

1:59 am

westford

some words are just fun

1:59 am

Christine

sort of a ditch, below ground? to keep out the cattle without spoiling the view from the terrace.

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

Christine

May I ask what you do when you list? I know it's to do with Lickety, but ??

2:04 am

m9f9l

well what I do is past lickety's list into a notepad. i make it very skinny, then i reduce babble window so my list is alongside.

2:05 am

m9f9l

and when i complete a section (say the ae's) I delete it from the notepad.

2:05 am

Christine

That way you see what's missing. Thanks - I've seen it referredto, and thought that must be it. I do too,.

2:05 am

flosey

I'm off to bed, 80 words for tomorrow, goodnight all

good night jilli and flosey pleasant dreams

2:07 am

lynxxx

Goodnight Flosey & Jilli

2:07 am

jillibus

Well, if you had Expert it would be much much easier. It's free for the asking and I'm pretty sure I've told y ou about it, haven't I?

2:08 am

m9f9l

not me

2:08 am

Christine

m9f91 - I list my words on a scratch pad, enter @ lickety, and note the missing word/stats. I guess I should read my 'Dummies' book, and see how to make that easier.

2:09 am

lynxxx

M9 - do you know that you can Bulk Post into Lickety (even if you do not have Expert) - makes life much easier. The instructions are at the bottom of Lickety clue list

2:09 am

Christine

Jillibus. how would I know if I have Expert?

2:09 am

m9f9l

yikes christine!

2:09 am

Christine

small 'yik', m9f91.

2:10 am

m9f9l

bulk post.... ?? I'll look

2:10 am

m9f9l

LOL

2:10 am

lynxxx

M9 and Christine. Email Lickety (his address is on the right of his clue list), he will send you Expert - very very easy to load

2:10 am

Christine

Jillibus, I don't want to keep you from bed, I'm very appreciative of the help you, and others, have given me.

2:10 am

jillibus

Babble Expert puts everything on one page -- the list, the grid, the chat. It also has the "Lickety Add" box, where if you type one word it goes to your Word List AND to Lickety's list automatically. If you type more than one word it goes to the chat. There are also other links in a spot called Resources, including one to Morewords andone to a2z.

2:11 am

m9f9l

wow!!

2:11 am

m9f9l

thanks jilli!

2:11 am

jillibus

You have to have a PC -- it doesn't work with Macs, but you both have PCs, so no problem.

2:12 am

Christine

Thank you. lynxx and Jillibus -- perhaps, if I read the instructions, I won't need to ask so many questions. Now ... if you want the world's best lasagne, I'm your girl.

2:12 am

m9f9l

mmmm...lasagna!

2:13 am

jillibus

It's so wonderful I hope DrG's new site includes all its features, but I'm really worried thatit won't.

2:13 am

lynxxx

Jilli, did you read that DrG is to provide cropping tool!

2:14 am

jillibus

Cropping? What for? Oh for the ic4s?

2:14 am

lynxxx

yes

2:14 am

jillibus

That would be good.

2:15 am

jillibus

I haven't been getting his posts in FB lately -- wonder why not. Is that where you saw that?

2:16 am

Christine

Think hoe many times I said ic4, and you gentle people didn't send me to the pb. Thank'ee

2:16 am

lynxxx

Yes - I don't do FB but can still see it

2:16 am

jillibus

Where? In the Twitter site?

2:17 am

3:50 am

flosey

both gorgeous m9

3:50 am

m9f9l

we look so international!

3:50 am

rubyfoo

we are! and I think that is part of the charm of this; we encircle the globe!

3:50 am

m9f9l

thanks flosey... it just seems that everyone is doing roses..

3:51 am

m9f9l

glabble warming!

3:51 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo

3:51 am

rubyfoo

love it!

3:52 am

rubyfoo

how are you, sprite? Is it cool there? Here it's sunny and surprisingly cool for August

3:52 am

m9f9l

did you take that rose pic flosey (if you're still here)

3:52 am

sprite

it is raining cats and dogs here, relatively cool as well.

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

Same here sprite. Not actually raining atm, but very cool. Think I must put a sweater on.

3:54 am

sprite

yes, that kind of weather. I was actually cold yesterday.

3:54 am

m9f9l

it's cool in my house. but that's the a/c. although this evening was actually a bit cooler.. there was a lovely breeze.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

it is beautiful and the grass is actually making a comeback after the dry weather. Lots of roses and tomatoes and the blackberries are almost ripe!

3:54 am

m9f9l

I'm listening to Justine. ;-)

3:55 am

sprite

my tomatoes are ripening too. They are each the size of a blueberry. Never seen them this small before.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

*proud mama smiling* john is joining a black blues man named Orange Jefferson (really!) and we'll see what happens

3:55 am

m9f9l

man..or band?

3:56 am

rubyfoo

hmm, blackberry-tomatoes! I've heard of cherry tomatoes.

3:56 am

m9f9l

wow. this is quite groovin!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

they don't quite have a band yet, just playing in open-mike performances. We'll see that happens.

3:56 am

sprite

wondering the same thing as m9

3:56 am

rubyfoo

sprite actually bought his CD; what a champ she is!!!

3:57 am

m9f9l

so the track I'm listening to... is that ALL just him??

3:57 am

rubyfoo

yes, except for the drums. He wrote the music, sang, and laid down all the guitar tracks for the whole album

3:57 am

sprite

so it is a musical joining. Let me know how it works out, and especially if they bring out a CD.
Yes I did buy it and I have never regretted it. It is a delightful CD.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

3:58 am

sprite

lol... straight way to rubyfoo's heart is through the CD of her son... a true mama!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

Orange is a native Texan blues man, evidently a rare breed. John said that most of the blues played in Austin is played by white "emigrees", so this is the real thing

3:59 am

m9f9l

I'm really enjoying it! his voice is very easy to listen to! (unlike so many artists lately!)

4:00 am

sprite

wow, I can't wait to hear the two of them. Must be mutually inspiring for them.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

and John plays blues and all kinds of strings and may help this man become more widely known and successful

4:00 am

sprite

m9, yes, isn't it! And it seems to be 'easy' music but the more you listen to it, the more depth it reveals. It is really a great CD.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I am very lucky to have him and he has aLWays followed his music dream, even while doing work in data-base administrating (whatever that is)

4:01 am

m9f9l

oh yeah.. the guitar in these is amazing.

4:02 am

m9f9l

2 bucks less if buy it digitally... hmmm

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could get away from here to go and visit for a while, but that is out of the question at the moment. He may come to Europe again in Sept-Oct

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I don't think he's selling very many discs, but is very glad that he got it produced

4:02 am

sprite

that is relatively so4, rubyfoo. He must have had a big scare from the whole dog affair too.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

he's very depressed, I wish you would all visit him! Or lend me Terra as our dogs are too big (and stinky) to get in bed with him!

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

Is he staying in bed ruby, or getting up each day?

4:05 am

sandrafrances

good morning Diann

4:05 am

rubyfoo

he gets up and even drives a little, but he is very sad

4:05 am

rubyfoo

hi sandra

4:05 am

sprite

awwww Terra would cheer him up for sure, I wish I could visit! Wait, I will try the next best thing. Will try and move some of the cell phone pics to the puter and then to Flickr. Would that possible cheer him up a bit?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I hope he can make a comeback

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

I'm sure it's the shock, ruby. Takes a long time to get over it.

4:06 am

sprite

as Sally says, he is getting up every day, that is good. And he has had a severe shock, both physically and emotionally. Give him time.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

it is great that the nurse comes every day; she's a ball of energy and very upbeat and gentle with him. Cute, too!

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

When T had his accident last year, it was only this year he was diagnoses with post-traumatic stress. He has some tablets for it.

4:06 am

sprite

yay for the nurse :)

4:06 am

rubyfoo

and the people are insured which is a big relief!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

what kind of tablets?

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

hang on, will go and look.

4:07 am

rubyfoo

I asked Burt if he would talk to someone, but he's too shy and would have trouble in French, especially

4:08 am

rubyfoo

and the rabies specialist lives in our village, funny coincidence!

4:08 am

sprite

ptss is a very underestimated reaction to trauma. The way the brain and hormones function is changed by trauma and that influences practically everything.

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

Sertraline hydrochloride. Have made a huge difference to him.

rubyfoo

he doesn't believe in PTSS as he says that he was in WWII and it didn't exist then. I can't argue with him!

4:09 am

sprite

rubyfoo, I have no idea if someone in your area does it, but there is a very successful treatment for trauma and ptss that does not involve much talking.

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

Cough. He was younger then.

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

Call it something else then ruby :-)

4:10 am

rubyfoo

hahah, sally. I will look into the drug and talk to the MD. If he can take a pill, he might agree.....

4:10 am

rubyfoo

maybe I can say it's for his fatigue

4:10 am

sprite

it existed then, but wasn't diagnosed correctly. And he does not have to believe in it, he can read about it... it can be MEASURED.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

he is very stubborn; that's probably why he loves chow chows!

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Call it shock. That can be a killer. I remember when we did a first aid course they said that the reason for the drip they put you on in hospital after an accidentis often just for the shock.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

of course it existed! Rember the term shell-shocked? That was WW1!!

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Suffering from shock or stress is not a sign of failure, it is the body's way of dealing with an event.

4:12 am

sprite

shell shock, exactly

4:12 am

rubyfoo

he doesn't want to be a sissy!!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

he thinks all the \Vietnam-era guys are sissies. I don't want to argue with him right now and am trying to be helpful and encouraging

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

It isn't being a sissy, it's reacting quite normally.

4:13 am

sprite

ok, rubyfoo, the treatment is called EMDR. What is EMDR?
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can help change how your body reacts to memories of your trauma

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

Right thing to do ruby I think.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

everybody knows that except B!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I'm writing it down and will ask the MD about it. This place is not big on psychological help; they just medicate

4:14 am

sprite

lol another quote:
PTSD is a response by normal people to an abnormal situation

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I don't know what I would do without you folks; you can't imagine how much this helps me! And gives me practical suggestions.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

As difficult as he can me, I don't want to lose him!

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Exactly sprite. I think too if someone tries to suppress these feelings they actually suffer more by bottling it up.

4:15 am

sprite

am trying to find one of the things they can actually measure these days. The 2 small seahorse-shaped things in the brain... they shrink down when there is PTSS.

4:16 am

sprite

ruby, all you tell us about your husband suggests he may have been hurt by WWII more than he wants to realise.

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

hippocampus.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

and by his various subsequent marital traumas etc. Poor guy!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

nice phantom: papoose!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

another: aphasic!

4:19 am

lynxxx

I like jalapeno, if only it was accepted phonetically. Hello again

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I had better go and tend to the patient. {{thank you dear friends}}!!!!

4:19 am

lynxxx

hi/bye Ruby

4:19 am

sprite

yes! The hippocampus shrinks down. And the good news is, when treated right, they can grow back to their normal size too.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

4:32 am

sprite

ok I did, lol. Good phantom... bad condition!

4:33 am

lynxxx

I am missing so many Ps - I am sure they are all going to be ph medical words

4:34 am

sprite

I don't think there can be many ph words in this grid... but maybe that thought is what is keeping me from finding them ,lol.

4:36 am

sprite

I keep thinking sincope and sincopal are words, but they need to have a Y and not an i.

4:37 am

Sally-catlover

I only have one ph so far, and it isn't medical but an ordinary word.

4:38 am

sprite

I have 2 related words, not medical either.

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

Related eh? Thanks sprite, have 2 now.

I'm usually stubbing my toe on something, so I can relate

5:25 am

herinfernallady

Stupid glass table

5:26 am

herinfernallady

And stubbing toes hurt. The girl I met last night broke for toes misstepping and hitting the wall on the turn of her stair case

5:27 am

City 17 dweller

Are you bruised? Swear at it, it'll help considerably (your mood, not the bruise)

Soodle

Aha. Thank you all very much. :-)

5:36 am

Sally-catlover

(Although I've never been sure whether that word rhymes with eyes or with the things you use on your feet in the snow)

5:37 am

daykat

it means "to place in or as if in the heavens; exalt." so I assume it rhymes with eyes

5:37 am

Sally-catlover

Always looks Russian to me :-)

5:37 am

daykat

but I could always be assuming wrong, English is a weird language

carleekat

china...yes... china does...but i dont think any of the middle eastern sites block internet

6:29 am

9tanks

Carleekat I think the problem here is that the BBM is encrypted and the servers are over in Canada. So the government cannot investigate fishy ones

6:31 am

hi bonkler

6:31 am

bonkler

the blackberry issue is more to do with inability to monitor traffic. there's no easy backdoor to peak through should the gov decide to take a look at a user's activities

6:31 am

bonkler

morning all

6:31 am

carleekat

morning bonkler

I think France had highlighted the blackberry issue way bac in 2007

6:32 am

herinfernallady

HI Bonkler

6:33 am

bonkler

in america that isn't as big an issue as under homeland security the gov was simply copying the entirety of net traffic to peruse at leisure. i believe it was at&t that was caught with a trunk line pretty much ported into the cia or nsa offices

6:34 am

carleekat

the ammount of info that is ..is staggering

7:19 am

Mom

Oh Sprite, that noise is awful

7:20 am

carleekat

3000

7:20 am

sprite

it is, Mom. I am allergic to noise, it turns on my panic hormones. I really wish they would adapt the sound to the area it is supposed to reach.

7:20 am

EspritdJean

Lollapalooza in Chicago this weekend

7:20 am

Mom

I think I would rather had the noise from bayfest than camp for 10 days

7:21 am

sprite

lol carlee, not that 3000 girls are quiet or anything... but definitely more fun.

7:21 am

carleekat

camp was fun tho mom... met some lovely ladies from ireland and wales

7:21 am

Mom

oh {{Sprite}}, I will hop on over there and tell them to turn it down. :-)

7:22 am

Anniebrook

7:42 am

carleekat

passing little a sc5

7:43 am

rubyfoo

I hope he can make a comeback from this

7:43 am

littlebit

thank you so much!!

7:43 am

sandyloo

Poor thing, it would have been such a shock - he will take time to get over it

7:43 am

rubyfoo

do I get a sc*** for my mistake? I didn't know that was a word

7:43 am

zoozzoom

And don`t forget to plural it too Ruby

7:43 am

carleekat

no problem little

7:44 am

Anniebrook

ruby, once the rabies shots are done, I hope he gets into a better frame of mind...is the wound sort of healing

7:44 am

carleekat

passing ruby her sc5

7:44 am

carleekat

( now to find the word she used)

7:44 am

sandyloo

all those shots would make him feel sick , surely

7:44 am

rubyfoo

no, no change in the big wound and the hematomas keep moving around

7:44 am

zoozzoom

hello Little..did not see you come in there.

7:45 am

Mom

Hi Littlebit

7:45 am

Mom

{{Ruby}} hello

7:45 am

rubyfoo

I'll tell him that, maybe it will make him feel better

7:45 am

rubyfoo

7:45 am

littlebit

hey zooz and mom

7:45 am

rubyfoo

the owner of the dog tried to intimidate me into dropping the charges

7:45 am

littlebit

i snuck in for the sc5

7:45 am

rubyfoo

on the phone

7:45 am

carleekat

little dont talk with ur mouth full..please <wink>

7:45 am

sandyloo

how did he do that?

7:46 am

littlebit

hehe..not working to well!

7:46 am

rubyfoo

the man came to the house, but yesterday his wife called me

7:46 am

rubyfoo

she said my husband was lying, that her husband didn't drop the leash

7:46 am

sandyloo

did they make threats?

7:47 am

rubyfoo

that the dog dragged him across the road

7:47 am

sandyloo

any witnesses

7:47 am

carleekat

well..if the dog dragged him across the road..he obviously cannot control it either and the dog should then be destroyed

7:47 am

Anniebrook

does it matter whether he dropped the leash or not? The dog is dangerous.

7:47 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, everybody seems to be on husband's side

7:47 am

sandyloo

and that makes it worse for the man, because he left the scene

7:47 am

carleekat

i was bit by a neighbours dog once..thankfully had its shots

7:48 am

rubyfoo

the mayor wants the dog destroyed and the people out of the village! what a town

7:48 am

zoozzoom

PB for Sandy :)

7:48 am

carleekat

passing sandy a sc5

7:48 am

zoozzoom

lol

7:49 am

carleekat

this is rather fun....shall i whip up another batch???

7:49 am

littlebit

they're very good!!

7:49 am

zoozzoom

looks like we will need them..lol

7:49 am

rubyfoo

when the gendarmes went door-to-door, I learned today, the dog tried to get at them but the woman denied any knowledge of an attack. When the police looked around her house, they found bloody dog prints outside and then she admitted that the dog had come back with a bloody face. It's like a novel

7:50 am

sandyloo

the villagers will take up there pitchforks soon

7:50 am

rubyfoo

that's how it feels!

7:50 am

carleekat

oh for pete's sake...

7:50 am

carleekat

lynch mob

7:50 am

sandyloo

i mean their pitchforks

7:51 am

sandyloo

is the mayor building a gallows in the town square and are the crones beginning to knit

7:51 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, my husband, who walks around here a lot, both with and without our dogs, is much loked by all the ladies because he always greets them etc

7:51 am

sandyloo

and ruby, are you eating cake?

7:51 am

carleekat

ohh... tie them to a pillory...( sp?)...nail their ears to it

7:52 am

rubyfoo

no, just sc****

7:52 am

sandyloo

drag them naked through the streets

7:52 am

herinfernallady

I can add my arse that the man didn't drop the leash. The bites look too consistent with a dog that has been unleashed.

7:52 am

rubyfoo

and it attacked twice

7:53 am

rubyfoo

I wonder what they did to collaborators in this village after the war

7:53 am

carleekat

this grid still stinks...

7:53 am

sandyloo

LOL carlee I agree

rubyfoo

8:45 am

Trifioso

you guys, I have totally overdone it on the tearing the house apart whilst the kids are away. I am burnt out, totally wiped, and....not finished. I have so much to put back together, the house is so gross, stuck in that "it will all come together soon" stage, but it's NOT coming together, and I am two seconds away from just giving up, but that will defeat the whole purpose. coffee? red bull? flame thrower? what now?

8:45 am

sandyloo

I vote it goes to Jellen but I dont mind

8:45 am

welki

she'll probably need the money, feather, but your discretion

8:45 am

featherbee

oh dear. while i'm chatting, nick is pulling every flat wooden puzzle off the shelf that we have. i see some time spent putting puzzles together soon.

8:45 am

carleekat

i have..and i refreshed... and i hard refreshed..and i cleared my cahce..and i rebooted

8:46 am

Trifioso

FWIW, I vote for sending it to jellen too. there will be a lot of expenses coming up, no matter what the outcome.

8:46 am

carleekat

blarg...stoopid icons

8:46 am

welki

i see feather's arrangement icon

8:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am procrastinating from cleaning my kid's bedrooms in prep for them coming home from their adventures. I had all summer to do it, but it was too hot.

8:46 am

reparteena

I changed my icon also, but it's not workng

8:46 am

featherbee

tri, take a break, have a snack and a cuppa, then start in one room for 15 minutes making it look more "done." after the 15 minutes, stand back and see where you are, and either move to a different room, or go again for another 15.

8:46 am

Trifioso

I am right there with you, kaplan

8:46 am

sandyloo

I see feather's usual icon, but when i look at her profile i see the arrangement

8:47 am

NonoNanette

yes Jellen will be in need of the funds there are so many expenses at a time like that

8:47 am

Anniebrook

I think Jellen will need the money...better to send it to her.

8:47 am

kje

his is kinda like guessing cloud shapes

8:47 am

carleekat

i will reboot computer again..brb

8:47 am

welki

i commisserate with the housecleaning schtick -- getting ready for my daughter (and her family) --- and then my aunt and uncle to witness the catastrophic condition of my home :)

8:47 am

Trifioso

okay feather. its just....starting. I just don't wanna do one more thing. but babbling all day is not going to fix it. and god, I KNOW jellen is in a way worse situation than me, and I am totally whining. please, forgive me

8:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

I guess there is no Atlantic Oshen.

8:47 am

reparteena

oh... i thought it was changing the icon on the log too.

8:47 am

featherbee

8:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

OMG- i thnk I will go to the PB anyway for that.

8:48 am

11:08 am

Christine

acorn?

11:08 am

11:09 am

jbp

are there monsters? do I dare venture in?

11:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

Eggcorns are people's common mispronunciation and misspellings.s. My favorites are "That must have cost you a nominal egg." "I was balling my eyes out." There are websites that list them--google "eggcorns."

11:10 am

Christine

Love it. Thank you for the explanation.

weiik - what happened to the car picture?

11:15 am

weiik

only asked because i've a '50 xi120, in need of restoration

11:16 am

Christine

Was that like mine - which I no longer have.

11:16 am

weiik

yes, did you drive yours? Mine I bought as a non-running project, and been like that since, but, I do drive the 69 e-type

11:19 am

Christine

I had it in my divorce settlement, in 1969. I had to replace the engine, which lasted abotr three months, and a guy in the neighbourhood saw it in my driveway, and arranged to buy it, since I couldn' afford another engine. Well,the second payment he asked if he could start working on it. I said yes, an the next week hwe asked could he have the pink slip, so he could get it worked on ... you can guess the rest.

11:22 am

weiik

sorry to hear that, that is a beautiful car, same how people can take advantage of others, I've just met a older man with 50 cars being moved from storage and he cannot repair any of them, and needs someone to get them started so they can be driven away, the 1st I saw was a '57 Lincoln Premier, baby blue and big ... hoping I can get the job, maybe than I can put money into mine

11:23 am

Christine

Love Lincolns - like big, heavy cars.

11:24 am

Christine

The guy cheated me, but I should've been more savvy about it. Stll better to be cheated than be the cheater.

11:24 am

this has a continental kit, 22K miles, air ram tube from the rear deck into the headliner for a/c vents on the drivers neck ... p/w ... the whole works

1:10 pm

1:11 pm

oh my goodness -- that is a long time -- must be really deep

1:11 pm

the good news is we have more tomatoes than I can use and many blackberries in the garden!

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

and maybe we'll have figs in September.

1:11 pm

Christine

Oh, rubyfoo, keeping both of you in our prayers. But, look after yourself, and get some rest. Easy to tell you what you should do, tough for you to do it.

1:12 pm

westford

and fig leaves too lol

1:12 pm

westford

you already have a garden of Eden

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

thank you Christine, husband is being sweet to me and I am resting as much as I can, but he did a lot of chores before

1:13 pm

cybernan

must go and start my day -- been playing games too long! bye

1:13 pm

westford

bye nan you won't have as much fun though

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

yes, it's true, this place is wonderful and the people of the village, too. It's just really lucky that I can speak French or we would have had a lot of trouble with all of this

1:13 pm

Christine

Yum figs. A neighbour had them, but when he moved, the new owner cu down the tree.

1:13 pm

Soodle

Can you get somebody in to give you a hand with the big jobs, Ruby? Maybe some local kid on school holidays who would appreciate a few euros?

1:13 pm

westford

oh Christine don't you hate that?

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

I have some help but it's the little, numerous jobs that get me down

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

how could they cut down a mature fig tree? That's awful.

1:15 pm

Christine

First of all, cutting down a tree!!! Then too, the other owner shared with everyone, Also his grape, some of which he dried on screens in the front garden, and shared them, too.

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

when we planted our garden, I had them put in 15 trees, some of them fruit, others decorative. We are pretty far north for figs, I think, but I put it in the most sheltered and sunny spot in the garden and it's beautiful

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

that is lovely, christine. Every person who comes by, now, gets a bag of tomatoes as I don't have the energy to cook them up and freeze them.

1:17 pm

Christine

Here, in Los Angeles we have a mediterranean climate, and oranges grow everywhere, but this was the only figtree in the neighbourhood.

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

some years I have lots of plums but this year, none. Since this is my first garden, I am flying blind

1:17 pm

bichon

I know how it is with garden produce, especially zuchinni

1:18 pm

Soodle

Oooh home-grown tomatoes. I'll bet they actually TASTE like tomatoes....

1:18 pm

stidmama

Hey all. I would have had plums, ruby, but the deer (or raccoons) ate them.

1:18 pm

stidmama

hey soodles!

1:18 pm

bichon

Do you get to grow tomatos in Ireland, with all that rain

1:18 pm

FMitch

ruby - my Mum used to just put the picked tomatoes into a carrier bag and straight into the freezer and then use them for sauces etc as needed.

1:18 pm

Christine

I always wanted a small orchard, with chickens peckingf away beneath the trees. Of course, I don't know who'd look after the trees or the chooks.

1:18 pm

stidmama

how's the grid?

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

I grew zucchini the first year, but it really gets out of hand. Every now and then, I see someone walking down our street with a mammoth zucchini under his arm!

1:19 pm

FMitch

bit of a battle stiddy.

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

I did that with last year's plums, FM, but they are still sitting in the freezer!

1:19 pm

Soodle

Other people do, Bichon. I don't have the time (or energy) for gardening.

1:19 pm

stidmama

oh well. I can do that.

1:20 pm

bichon

i was very surprised to see fuschia growing as a perennial on Kerry

1:20 pm

Christine

Most of my neighbours in the lower apartments grow tomatoes, so I get fresh from the vines - and we have a cople of avocado trees - one I planted about 25 tears ago, but they give only small hard fruit.

1:30 pm

Soodle

Well, Bichon, in a city like Dublin, there are places that tourists wouldn't go to, much the same as any city I guess. Its places like that that are real, and not (dare I say it) contrived.....

1:30 pm

stidmama

PinnyPoppins

so i figure that smoking is my one vice

3:13 pm

PinnyPoppins

apart from candy

3:13 pm

Soodle

Sorry, off feeding hungry cats there. As for ciggies - my excuse is they are cheaper (marginally) and definitely easier to get than Valium........ Anyone got a light?

3:13 pm

wildcat17

yes river - another awesome accomplishment!

3:14 pm

Riverdance

thats the only vice I DONT have at the moment

3:14 pm

3:16 pm

Soodle

I bit a dentist once as he treated me, and after that, he refused to treat me unless I was sedated with valium. I was seriously impressed with the effects of valium!!

3:17 pm

Nancy Boy

exactly. mind you, I have had my experiences being too thin, and that is not good for the health either.

3:17 pm

blueheron

omg, listen to us!

Popping back in...happy anniversary River!

3:32 pm

Nancy Boy

Not anymore, Pinny. I developed it when I realised that I was gay - it was a way of coping, really, because I couldn't deal with it. But, now I've resolved those feelings, and I have a healthy attitude towards food again.

3:33 pm

PinnyPoppins

that's so awesome NB

3:34 pm

Riverdance

epoo

3:34 pm

Riverdance

thats how I feel about those e's

hello, babblers

3:35 pm

Hello Bugsaw

Jellen, I'm a Hospice volunteer. If there's anything you would like to talk about and need support I'm here for you. email. wbcramer@wildblue.net

3:40 pm

Bugsaw

I have spent quite a bit of time trying to change my icon to purple flowers for Jellen but none will work. I think florists want money

3:40 pm

Jellen

Thanks blueheron

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

Bugsaw

3:41 pm

Bugsaw

I don't get it either welki but I am having a lot of trouble with the computer. I think I have to pay for someone to come fix it.

3:41 pm

blueheron

3:41 pm

welki

3:42 pm

blueheron

I'm sure you have Welki.

3:43 pm

welki

is it a pc or mac, bugs?

3:43 pm

Bugsaw

yes blue. I prefer to do palliative but I have a couple of people who have wanted me to continue on with bereavement. I truly enjoy helping people find peace where there seems to be none

3:44 pm

Bugsaw

It is a pc welki but it went haywire the other night and Firefox froze up.

3:45 pm

The funny thing is, this really really swanky hotel is about 15 minutes from our house. We won't even have to put the animals into kennels - we can come home and feed them....

4:26 pm

We have decided that we are going to dress up in our best, and pretend that we can actually afford to be there!

rep, choose what you want from your own pix or go to Google Images and decide. Then go to your My Account and the left-hand page where you see your present icon. The word Edit is under that, and click on it. Then where is says Browse, go to the picture you chose and enter it. Then go to Upload. When you see the red line saying you've done it, you may need to refresh or go out ofbabble and back in.

I am so sad about Tim and Jellen. It's weird, isn't it? It's not like I even "know" them, but I feel just heartbroken for her. We really do become a little cyber family, don't we?

8:41 pm

stidmama

LBD, Jellen posted an update on facebook a couple hours ago, short.

8:41 pm

I mean, I feel that way -- I guess I shouldn't presume how anyone else feels, of course

don't feel bad, crossy. we still need to support her and Tim, and giving up isn't an option until the very last breath

8:43 pm

stidmama

cross... cancer doesn't conform to anyone's expectations. none of us ever know what is certain.

8:43 pm

crosshair

you are indeed correct ibd

8:44 pm

stidmama

(((cross))) the important thing is that you were expressing your concern, and your wisdom was valuable.

8:44 pm

Trifioso

I agree with lbd crossy! of course you should speak as if Tim was going to recover -- it's what we were all praying for

8:44 pm

after 3 different types in 5 years,it is just the way i deal with it..i should be more tactful i guess

8:44 pm

When I read her update in her profile my eyes welled up with tears, yet I do not even "know her so Iagree.

you have to hit it head on,no poor pitiful me,s and kick it ass,right to the last you try and choke it to death

8:47 pm

crosshair

i have indeed been fortunate with many wonderful people at my side and at the treatment centres

8:48 pm

crosshair

and i say a special prayer for tim and jellen,cause it is not over till it is over

8:48 pm

lbdawger

amen, to that, crossy

I did not start babbling until this afterno4/4. When I op 4/5ed the website,I was not happy with grid size. It took me ae5/10 to finish the grid, but I finally did. So here is a story of clues. My monkeys have ch 6/24 to be obstinate again. When I went to sc 5/14 them out, they were teasing the po 6/21 on my neighbor's farm. They se5/10ed me coming though&tried to run away. When I grabbed my monkeys by the na 4/5s of their neck,they would not move an in4/6 and said no 4/5! We are not going to help! Then monkeys put up their no4/4s in the air & refused to look at me. They made fun of me & would ec4/6 everything that I said and then laughed and said ha4/6! I tried to spray my monkeys w/a ho4/5 but that didn't stop them.I even washed their mouths out with so4/5 but that did not help. I wanted to hang them by a no 5/10. But would not si 4/8 down to their level & let them get the best of me. I couldn't co 4/6 with them today so I ch 5/14 to let them go. Monkeys lo4/5d right out of my yard. They did not get any sc 6/21 for treats today. They would rather play ring around the rosies a pocket full of po 6/21. When I first got monkeys I thought they were just going through a bad ph5/14,but they have been acting like this ever si5/12 I bought them!They refuse to sh 5/14 up. I wish someone could lo 4/4 me some ni4/5 on4/4. I pl 4/5 to get rid of them on 5/12 and for all and and sh4/6 around for new on4/4. I am going to take a break, but I'll be back so 4/4. Ch 4/6!
