gremlinn

12:56 am
jillibus
I have a ge7 but not 6, lol!
12:57 am
gremlinn
the ge6 is a rock with jewels inside
12:57 am
gremlinn
crystals, anyway
12:57 am
dcseain
fond the 10 all by my lonley :)
12:57 am
jillibus
ty from -- *thinking
12:58 am
jillibus
from? that was supposed to be grem. Guess who's tired!
12:59 am
jillibus
hi dc -- cleverclogs!
12:59 am
gremlinn
it's actually ge5, and ge6 is the plural
12:59 am
gremlinn
Douglas made a pun about this word a week or two ago
1:00 am
jillibus
well, I got the gn6 anyway
1:00 am
dcseain
howdy, jilli grem, flosey, et al
1:00 am
dcseain
the cat just spilled 70% of the water out of her drinking fountain to watch the resevoir bottle empty. She is siamese if i don't please!
1:01 am
jillibus
I must have missed that ge pun
1:01 am
dcseain
ty for gn, jilli
1:01 am
gremlinn
there are no finer cats than she am?
1:01 am
jillibus
love that cat, dc!
1:01 am
gremlinn
ge + *** is a poem
1:02 am
jillibus
ok, grem, got that, finally...
1:02 am
dcseain
I do, yet i wish she were less... devious in some ways: spilling the fountain, knocking the phone or papers or book off of what whatever has been set on, etc
1:07 am
jillibus
grem and monkey helped find that ge9 -- thanks
1:08 am
flosey
wtg jilli, not seeing it at all
1:09 am
gremlinn
it sounds like "gee" plus the plural of a great voyage
1:09 am
jillibus
flosey, build on that clue grem gave at 1:01
1:10 am
flosey
I know the rock, can't seem to extend it
1:11 am
gremlinn
it's the plural of a word that ends in -y
1:12 am
jillibus
so I have the 3 9s and the 10, but not a single 8!
1:12 am
flosey
thanks for all clues, I'll leave it and come back tomorrow with a clearer head
1:12 am
dcseain

not leaving yet dc, just moving on
1:13 am
gremlinn
pi8 ends like the ge9
1:13 am
gremlinn
sp8 looks like a weird plural of the mythological riddle-posing creature

dcseain
yes, stid, and an extension to Washington Metro is being built here, and they are widening I-495, I-95, making changes to I-395, and considering widening I-66 inside the beltway.
1:39 am
stidmama
YAY Dee!
1:39 am
stidmama
how much wider can those parts get and there still be room for houses?
1:40 am
dcseain
i-495 is going from 8 lanes total to 12 lanes total, and not a single building is being taken, all within the right-of-way acquired back in 1962.
1:40 am
dcseain
66 will require taking no buildings
1:40 am
VolleymomDee
sure would help though with traffic jams driving around DC on way to Outer Banks :~)
1:40 am
dcseain
95 taking no buildings
1:40 am
VolleymomDee
very smart planners!
1:41 am
dcseain
dee, ever taken US 301 instead?
1:41 am
stidmama
oh. okay -- I remember how wide the roads seemed back in the 70s... not sure I want to go somewhere with that many lanes...
1:41 am
VolleymomDee
I'll have to ask Dan... not sure...
1:42 am
jillibus
Toronto's 401 is like that -- a horror show.
1:42 am

FB lets you connect w/people, and/or play games
1:47 am
dcseain
can be a time sink or not
1:47 am
VolleymomDee
t's were not bad: te 4; to 4, 4, 4...
1:47 am
dcseain
when employed, i use it to stay in touch, unemployed, bit of time sink
1:47 am
stidmama
I only go to facebook when I am not in school -- just keeping up with people is very hard to do.
1:48 am
VolleymomDee
dc how did your job hunt go? Sorry I haven't asked...
1:49 am

I wish that a perfect job with a kind boss would fall into your lap, seain... and everyone else who is looking. It seems to be so unfair that people don't get to be productive... or at least don't have their industriousness and productivity rewarded.

oatmeal cookies (wheat-free) with home-dried blueberries. very nice. needed more something to bind them. they're a bit more fragile than wheat-oatmeal would be. I have a gluten-free mix that I used with oatmeal...

Today I actually went up after the show and talked with the father of the Nanki-Poo! *proud mama look* our kids have been friends for years, but I am only just now figuring out that I can talk to the parents...

thanks seain. And in three weeks I will be teaching (student teaching, but still...) which is scary as all get out, but I think I can do it.

teaching is fun :)
2:08 am
stidmama
there. down to 60. I'll be back off and on tomorrow. I have three things I want to do: paint a couple more scarves, work on my "teacher jacket" (has FOUR pockets to hold all my teaching tools), and spend some time with my hands in dirt.
2:09 am
dcseain
sounds like a fun day, stid :)
2:10 am
stidmama
I think so. I am also hoping to get to the show again... but might let Tom do that one. Wish you could see it, seain. You would really get a kick out of all the work the kids have done. And, I think you would find it compares favorably to adult community theater productions.
2:11 am
dcseain
there is many a high-quality school production around

6:08 am
City 17 dweller
herin, I'm having the same headache with my entire last 40
6:09 am
NonoNanette
good thanks, Jean
6:10 am
EspritdJean
((Nan))
6:11 am
sandyloo
If lickety was my husband, I would handcuff him to the computer so he couldn't escape
6:11 am
EspritdJean
how is Mr P anyway, have not seen her in a while
6:12 am
City 17 dweller
lol, sandy... with bathroom breaks, I hope
6:12 am
NonoNanette
she was on the other day, she is doing well
6:12 am
sandyloo
she has been on but for small portions of time , she has (I think) hurt her legs rather badly
6:12 am
herinfernallady
Sandy have you seen that pathetic advert for RSPCA animal rescue?
6:13 am
sandyloo
no herin, I haven't , why is it bad?
6:13 am
EspritdJean
oh no, another accident?
6:13 am
sandyloo
and city, there would be escorted bathroom breaks , in case he
6:13 am
City 17 dweller
is this still MrP's chicken-coop injury?
6:14 am
sandyloo
I think she was coaching something and tore some ligaments...
6:14 am
City 17 dweller
ooh, ow. Poor MrP.
6:15 am
sandyloo
I think it is both legs , poor thing
6:15 am
herinfernallady
Sandy there is this poor neglected dog and the RSPCA says we ahve to give it back to the owners which is pure and utter b.s as they have the power to seize and remove abused animals the same as the police
6:15 am
sandyloo
that makes me mad!
6:16 am
sandyloo
I dont know why people have animals if they are not going to look after them
6:16 am
herinfernallady
It is so not true as there is powers written into law that can get them to keep the animal. Seems to me they let the animal go back for the sake of rattings
6:36 am
rubyfoo
hello again. That was gendarmes, again, to tell us that a court date had been set for Novembe.
6:37 am
NonoNanette
hi Ruby
6:39 am
rubyfoo
hello hello no no and all babble friends
6:40 am
rubyfoo
just now, we came bqack from lunch and I went up to give Max his apres-lunch treat and there was a beautiful little brindle kitty on the step IN THE HOUSE. So much for watch dogs
6:41 am
rubyfoo
I helped her leave and both dogs were curious, but very sweet
6:41 am
rubyfoo
life in the country!!!
6:41 am
NonoNanette
aweeee that is cute ruby
6:42 am
NonoNanette
how did she get in the house to begin with?
6:42 am
rubyfoo
she was so pretty! I wish I could have a cat as a pet for my dear Ruby
6:43 am
rubyfoo
we keep the back door open so the dogs can go in and out. I can't believe she got so far into the house without them chasing her!
6:43 am
NonoNanette
ah I see
6:43 am
rubyfoo
beautiful, tiny cat, with a fancy collar
6:43 am
NonoNanette
maybe they have befriended her
6:44 am
NonoNanette
with a collar someone must be taking care of her so thats good
6:44 am
rubyfoo
she was lovely and gentle
6:45 am
rubyfoo
she certainly wasn't feral, as there are several feral cats above us in the field, and they are unapproachable
6:52 am
herinfernallady
Ruby that is so darling. Kitty just wanted some extra treats
6:52 am
rubyfoo
she was pretty and tiny
6:53 am
rubyfoo
and let me pet he and scratch her ears
6:55 am
herinfernallady
awwww. Have you any idea where she is from?
6:55 am
Sandieangel

herinfernallady
HI Sandie

6:59 am
rubyfoo
hello angel!
7:01 am
Sandieangel
I was wondering if anyone had put a list up anywhere yet. Has anyone seen one?
7:01 am
herinfernallady
Gremlin has but I friended and it didn't work
7:01 am
Sandieangel
Oh well I'll have a look and see if it works for me.
7:03 am
rubyfoo
see you a little later!
7:03 am
rubyfoo
{{herin}}
7:04 am
Sandieangel
If you go into the rankings you'll find Gremlin in Who's Hot and you can click on the name and get the list.
7:04 am
herinfernallady
hugs
7:04 am
herinfernallady
cheers
7:05 am
herinfernallady
Thanks I didn't think of that
7:15 am
MollyL
Thanks very much for the "how to" on finding Gremlin's list. I was having a tough time without Lickety's list today.
7:20 am
Sandieangel
It's a tricky grid so a bit of help is welcome today. I'm pleased I found Gremlin's list.
7:20 am

jmcnrick

8:21 am
JBV
how are things, ruby, hubby is healing?
8:21 am
rubyfoo

8:22 am
rubyfoo
hi jmc, looked for news of the Hilton explosion, but saw nothing on CNN
8:22 am
JBV

8:22 am
jmcnrick

8:22 am
JBV
hilton explosion? where? in DC?
8:22 am
rubyfoo
when JMC was on with us yesterday, she saw an explosion.....
8:23 am
jmcnrick
it actually was the building door to the hilton and across the street from my office
8:23 am
jmcnrick
it was kinda entertaining in a weird way
8:23 am
rubyfoo
what was it?
8:23 am
JBV
oh, boy - where exactly jmc?
8:23 am
lynxxx
hi jmc - that's scary! anyone injured?

8:24 am
JBV
my nephew works on M street
8:24 am
jmcnrick
no one hurt -- it was all the rain got into a transformer and it shorted out
8:24 am
rubyfoo
oh, no wonder is wasn't on international news!
8:25 am
jmcnrick
most entertaining were the people who saw the 500 fire trucks and still came on the block and then were offended that they couldn't drive through
8:25 am
jmcnrick
ironically yesterday was firefighter day for icons
8:25 am
jmcnrick
well maybe only 10 lynxxx
8:26 am
jmcnrick
but it was more than i had ever seen in one place before
8:26 am
lynxxx
well, a lot anyway
8:26 am
rubyfoo
next town, Thones, has an annual firefighters parade bringing out 19th C equipment
8:26 am
jmcnrick

8:26 am
rubyfoo

8:27 am
jmcnrick

8:28 am
jmcnrick
snee is too a word! *sulks*

8:32 am
jmcnrick
hi vic annie and car
8:32 am
Vicuna
Shouldn't really be here, but I had to sit down and find a few words and relax for a minute...
8:32 am
rubyfoo
hello car
8:32 am
rubyfoo
I know the feeling
8:32 am
rubyfoo
nurse just left....
8:32 am
jmcnrick
what's up vic?
8:32 am
car.eeyore
Vicuna...been showing the book to everyone! They love it!
8:33 am
Vicuna
Car, I keep meaning to ask if your cat ever got home okay?
8:33 am
JBV
we're all here for that reason
8:33 am
car.eeyore
Oh no, Vicuna. He is gone. Just have to deal with it.
8:33 am
jmcnrick
so true jbv
8:33 am
JBV
oh, so sorry to hear that car
8:33 am
jmcnrick
oh too bad car
8:33 am
car.eeyore
((sounding much stronger and matter of fact than I actually feel))
8:33 am
Vicuna
Oh, car, I'm so sorry about that.
8:33 am
rubyfoo
oh! so sad!
8:33 am
JBV
cats do come back...
8:34 am
car.eeyore
Not in my world JBV.
8:34 am
rubyfoo
we had a beautiful little cat come in the house today, brave little thing, it was up the stairs near to Max and was very calm, let me pet her
8:34 am
JBV
I love reading those wonderful stories of cats who trekked homewards through briars and brambles, keep up hope, car
8:34 am
jmcnrick
my cat disappeared for three days and then we found her with a ring of hair missing from her tail
8:34 am
Anniebrook
car, sorry about Reilly
8:34 am
car.eeyore
I have 2 others, but each one is special. I do treat them like my children.
8:34 am
rubyfoo
they are your furry children!
8:35 am
jmcnrick
of course car each is different
8:35 am
lynxxx
very sad Car
8:35 am
car.eeyore
It's the unconditional love...gets me every time!
8:36 am
Vicuna
The gradual ebbing of hope and lack of closure makes it so hard, too.
8:36 am
jmcnrick
must go get some work done before work bbl
8:36 am
car.eeyore
You know Vi, I don't know that i ever did have hope.
8:36 am
rubyfoo
this little cat was so sweet but when I got her outside, she confronted ruby and hissed! Too funny as Ruby weighs more than 70 lbs and the cat couldn't have weighed 5!
8:36 am
car.eeyore
Bye JMC...have a great day!
8:37 am
car.eeyore
Scrappy little bugger! Love it!
8:37 am
Vicuna
Well, I can't say I think our cat would survive a day in the wild if she ever got lost, so I guess I understand that, too.
8:37 am
rubyfoo
she was so pretty and had a very fancy collar, so I'm sure she was loved
8:38 am
rubyfoo
I don't think our dogs would survive in the wild! big as they are, they are totally spoiled with food
8:38 am
car.eeyore
Reilly was not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but he was a big cuddler. All 15+ lb of him on my chest every night!
8:38 am
Anniebrook
I dont know if this will help. When my mother was a child in Russia she had a Persian cat who disappeared and she came home a month later. My mother told that story over and over to me. Everyone was amazed but there she was bedraggled.
8:38 am
car.eeyore
He had sinus issues the last couple of years...yes, cats get them too! And part of me thinks it was just his time.
8:38 am
rubyfoo
I had a big cat like that, Clarissa, who used to sleep on my chest and knead the blanket during the night
8:39 am
JBV
that's exactly what I was thinking about Annie - love those Lassie Come Home cat stories
8:39 am
lynxxx
do cats take themselves off when it was time (never had them)?
8:40 am
car.eeyore
I love you all so much and appreciate being able to talk about Reilly here so openly. HOWEVER, I am now beginning to cry and I have so much to do! I am going to refocus and get my work done and then I will be back later. I love you all for being here for me though.
8:40 am
rubyfoo
nice story, Annie! Where in Russia? My family came from the Ukraine: Dnepreptrovsk (formerly ekaterinislav) and a shtetl named Kanatop
8:40 am
rubyfoo
we love you car.eeyore {{special hugs}}
8:40 am
JBV
take care, car
8:40 am
car.eeyore
Yes, Lynxxx. They tend to "wander off" when it is their time.
8:40 am
Anniebrook
ruby, Kiev
8:41 am
Vicuna
SOrry for making you cry, cat! And I also meant to say, thanks so much for your kind words about my book. I'm so glad you're enjoying it.
8:41 am
rubyfoo
Kanatop was just outside of Kiev
8:41 am
lynxxx
bye Car - let's hope he is peaceful wherever he is, and has a nice chest to lie on
8:41 am
rubyfoo
I'm not sure of the spellings.....
8:41 am
car.eeyore
vi, we have it on the coffee table in the living room. Everyone who comes in the house immediately picks it up and Oohs and Aahs over it!
8:41 am
Angelsong
hi, all. Vicuna, you have a book? please tell me about it.
8:41 am
car.eeyore
I think the angles probably have the most comfortable chests! Nice steady heartbeats to make all feel safe and loved.
8:42 am
rubyfoo
hello angel!
8:42 am
car.eeyore
*angels
8:42 am
rubyfoo
and the biggest hearts!!!!
8:42 am
car.eeyore
Angelsong.....before I poof....the book is amazing!!!!
8:42 am
rubyfoo
now I'm crying, car!
8:42 am
Anniebrook
Vicuna, Is the book for sale? Where can I get it?
8:42 am
Vicuna
Hello, Angelsong. I have several books, but car is talking about an animal alphabet book. I can put a link if you're curious.
8:43 am
Anniebrook
Vicuna, What is the name of the book?
8:43 am
Vicuna
Okay, hang on...
8:43 am
car.eeyore
You have children...you MUST have this book! It is an ABC book of amazing creatures with GORGEOUS block prints...all done by our very own Vicuna!
8:43 am
car.eeyore
OK....enough advertising! I am off! Love to all "poof"
8:43 am
rubyfoo
will Amazon have it?
8:44 am
lynxxx
I must get to my bed - Night all
8:44 am

8:46 am
Anniebrook
Vicuna, will the book be on sale soon?
8:46 am

sisters
8:47 am
rubyfoo
grandmother experienced pogroms in the shtetl outside Kiev
8:47 am
rubyfoo
she came in about 1903 and married my grandfather in Scranton in about 1906
8:47 am
Vicuna
The books are all on sale now, but the ABC book can't sell on amazon because it's a non-standard size... (It's not like it's that strange, either, but for some reason I can't get it into distribution, grumble grumble!)
8:47 am
Anniebrook
ruby, you are telling my family's story
8:47 am
rubyfoo
mother's family came in 1910
8:48 am
rubyfoo
wonderful, annie!
8:48 am
Vicuna
So I'm selling them through lulu.com and my own web site (the latter being entirely amateur)
8:48 am
Anniebrook
Vicuna, pray tell, what is the name of the alphabet book? It would make a wonderful gift that I ne4 for Saturday.
8:49 am
rubyfoo
my mother arrived as a baby in Baltimore in 1910 and they shaved her head because she had cooties (lice -- eew) I guess
8:49 am
Anniebrook
my mother arrived in NYC and my father in Boston
8:49 am
Vicuna
"Amazing, Beguiling, Curious: 26 Fascinating Creatures."
8:50 am
rubyfoo
we are going to find out we are distant cousins! lol
8:50 am
Anniebrook
Ooooh, I love it...great name
8:50 am
Vicuna
But I don't think you'll be able to get it from anywhere by tomorrow, I'm sorry to say.
8:50 am
Anniebrook
Next Saturday, I mean, vic
8:51 am
Vicuna
Oh, that could work. lol!
8:51 am
Anniebrook
How much is the book?
8:53 am
Vicuna
It is $12 plus shipping (call it $2 for shipping). Feel free to email me if you want.
8:53 am
Anniebrook
I want it!
8:54 am
rubyfoo
I want it, too, but it is int'l shipping. Please find out what it costs to ship, and I'll mail you an American check!
8:54 am
rubyfoo
my e-mail is in my profile
8:55 am
rubyfoo
I'll give it to my English neighbors who have 3 boys under 6!
8:55 am
Anniebrook
My daughter's sil is in from SF and having a party for her..it would make a great gift. I am sending you my address and I will send a check. Will you take a personal check..I swear it wont go bouncing. lol.
8:56 am
rubyfoo
we'll find, you annie.....
8:56 am
rubyfoo
I think that once we're in babble, we can no longer hide (or, for that matter, want to hide!)
8:57 am
Vicuna
lol, Thanks, all! (SOrry for sporadic replies - trying to prepare kids for swimming lessons!) Anyway, anyone who wants a book, please email me with your address, and I'll let you know where to send a check. I can check on shipping, etc... Thanks!
8:58 am
Vicuna
Yes, Annie, I am fine with personal checks. I've been selling art and books for about ten years now and never had anyone cheat me, so I am a trusting soul.
8:58 am
Anniebrook
Vicuna, I am in Babble Expert, going to AOL to send you my address. Bye.
8:59 am
rubyfoo
when I was much younger and very broke, I once painted a store window and didn't get paid. I went around muttering "He should drop dead" (bad Ruby) and when he did, the estate paid me!
8:59 am
Vicuna
The other option is to buy from lulu.com, which can take paypal or credit cards and stuff, and they actually have an offer for free shipping for about 10 more days, I think. (I don't know their policy on international orders, though.)
9:00 am
rubyfoo
I'll check
9:00 am
Vicuna
lol, Ruby.
9:03 am
Vicuna
Bye, ruby!
9:05 am
Vicuna
(Err, sorry if I killed the chat with my rampant self-advertising! But I need to head off to swimming lessons anyway, now, so thanks for bearing with me, all!)

bichon
Hi ruby, does he take an SSRI?
9:57 am
rubyfoo
no, he won't take anything. He has even stopped taking painkillers and cut back to one martini. No wonder I am getting terrible frown lines!
9:58 am
rubyfoo
he's skinny and pale and miserable
9:58 am
bichon
An SSRI really changed my life for the better
9:58 am
Judi
Hmm. Did the meds do him any good when he was on them?
9:58 am
bichon

various years, we had marines from Quantico join us.
1:53 pm
m9f9l
yes. We also got them each a fun shirt, but we couldn't decide which color to give to which one. So Aiden wrapped them. and wrapped them. in paper, grocery bags, duct tape, lots and lots of that skinny ribbon....
1:53 pm
m9f9l
Then we gave them each a plastic knife.
1:53 pm
m9f9l
and said that the first to get theirs open got to decide who got which one.

1:56 pm
m9f9l
funny thing was, we had just said "go!" and Elder Buxton was still kind of scraping at the first wrappings and Elder Goff pulls a shirt out of his. He and we to this day don't know how he did that!!!
1:56 pm
jmcnrick
i was at a missionary meeting on the 4th of july
1:56 pm

2:00 pm
m9f9l
I made a huge chicken soup last night, so I think I'll gussy it up a little and feed that tonight. Which means I have more time to play with some kind of special dessert. hmmmm.....
2:01 pm
westford
bye for now really enjoyed today's chat
2:01 pm
dcseain
'nummy' is common here in Northern VA, but almost unknown in MD and DC. Where'd you pick up that word, m9?
2:01 pm
jmcnrick
bye west
2:01 pm
dcseain
be well, west
2:01 pm
m9f9l
Or maybe I'll thicken it up and make a pot pie??
2:01 pm
m9f9l
cause we had soup on monday when they ate here.
2:01 pm
m9f9l
I thought everyone said nummy?
2:02 pm
dcseain
in this part of country, nope, they don't :)
2:02 pm
m9f9l
I think it's more common amongst those with children!LOL
2:02 pm
Vicuna
I thought nummy was just standard baby talk.
Hello, all.
2:02 pm
jmcnrick
i never heard it until i moved in this area
2:03 pm
m9f9l
or at least breast feeding women!LOL so many babies just naturally call it 'num nums" for some reason.
2:03 pm
m9f9l
My littlest calls breasts "ums"
2:03 pm
jmcnrick
my sons called them breasts
2:03 pm
m9f9l
just a theory...LOL
2:04 pm
jmcnrick
never big on baby talk
2:04 pm
m9f9l
yes. so did my first child.
2:04 pm
dcseain
my friend's small daughter points and signs 'milk'
2:04 pm
Vicuna
I don't think my kids called them much of anything - I stopped breast-feeding at 1 year and they weren't talking much by then.
2:04 pm
m9f9l
and my littlest knows the proper word.
2:04 pm
m9f9l
but that's what he came up with early and he's sticking to it!LOL
2:05 pm
m9f9l
my first was one year. 2nd was 3 or 4 I think. 3rd was almost 6. Gage is 4 and still nurses.

2:07 pm
m9f9l
good for you for sticking to it then vic!! bummer you couldn't get it cleared up! yikes!
2:08 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, it was a big disappointment, to say the least! lol
2:08 pm
m9f9l
I hardly look at flickr anymore for some reason. I do try and keep up on my one friends photos there.
2:09 pm
m9f9l
My second had thrush, but we were able to clear it up pretty quickly. I swabbed his mouth out with diluted peroxide and myself off a LOT.
2:10 pm
m9f9l
hey that link worked!LOL
2:10 pm
Vicuna
Problem was the babies were asymptomatic, so we couldn't treat them, just me... anyway, long story and Too Much Information... =)
2:11 pm
m9f9l
I luvs talking babies!LOL
2:12 pm
m9f9l

2:12 pm
m9f9l
a little baby bliss.
2:14 pm
Vicuna
Yes, that's what I like best about babies - being able to admire someone else's... and then hand it back! lol
2:16 pm
m9f9l
I just went to my friend's flickr account. I had forgotten it's country fair time.. she usually goes and then there's lots of photos....
2:17 pm
m9f9l
oh haha! those aren't country fair, it's her daughter's concert!
2:20 pm
m9f9l

2:22 pm
Vicuna
I don't know. Maybe there's a list at Babblers Anonymous or Gremlinn's profile.
2:22 pm
dcseain
gremlinn put a list in his profile
2:26 pm
Vicuna
Thanks. I'll be ready for a list soon, I think.
2:27 pm
m9f9l
do you guys have folks in your my friends tab? is that how you find grem's list?
2:28 pm
Vicuna
I go to the rankings page and search for gremlinn.
2:29 pm
m9f9l
yup.. Ijust did that vicuna. got the list
2:30 pm
m9f9l
does anyone use the friends tab?LOL
2:35 pm
dcseain
i do sometimes, m9
2:35 pm
m9f9l
what does it do exactly?
2:36 pm
dcseain
it moves any you clicked Make Friend on in Who's Online to that tab
2:36 pm
m9f9l
an then what? what's the reason for doing so?
2:36 pm
Vicuna
Then you can just easily see if they're online or not, and you can see their profile more easily when they aren't online.
2:37 pm
Vicuna
But it's not a big huge deal, I don't think.
2:37 pm
m9f9l
all I know is that seain is on fb all the time!!LOL
2:37 pm
dcseain

3:04 pm
jmcnrick
it just lowers the appraisal -- it depends on how much equity you have

3:21 pm
jmcnrick
are you flying or training?
3:22 pm
Pinikula
(I haven't looked at flying)
3:22 pm
stidmama
I can pick you up at the station whenever you arrive pini...
3:22 pm
stidmama

3:22 pm

3:23 pm
Pinikula
I know, jmc...sure wish we could kidnap her!
3:23 pm
jmcnrick
i am to do a workshop of some sort on Sunday at the Friends Meeting with Vets for Peace
3:23 pm
jmcnrick
so where are you going to stay pini?
3:25 pm
Pinikula
Well, stid says flo, jilli, and bugs are sharing a space; stid also mentioned that she has some room at her home; I'm willing to go wherever to assist in costs for myself and/or other babble travelers...
3:25 pm
Pinikula
So, I'll stay at stids or split a room with others...I'm pretty open
3:25 pm
jmcnrick
i haven't heard anything from the folks in Portland so it looks less like I will be doing that.
3:25 pm
jmcnrick
I am flexible too.
3:25 pm
stidmama
I think Little Creek would be comfortable... do you want me to give bugs and jill your emails and they can write and arrange with you two directly?
3:25 pm
jmcnrick
what would you prefer stiddie?
3:26 pm
jmcnrick
sure go right ahead
3:26 pm
jmcnrick
haven't heard from Les either
3:27 pm
stidmama
I think if they need help with expenses (and they might) then sharing with them is a good idea. Otherwise, you are both welcome here. I'll send the email tout-suite and back in a few.
3:27 pm
Pinikula
that sounds good to me, stid ;)
3:28 pm
jmcnrick
warn them i stay up late playing internet games
3:29 pm
Pinikula
JMC, if we both stay at stid's, I can drive and pick you up at PDX (portland or); otherwise, I'll probably take the train up
3:29 pm
Pinikula
(me, too, jmc!)
3:29 pm
Pinikula
maybe jmc and I should "shack up"...night owls that we seem to be
3:30 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm i thought the prevailing wisdom was that i should fly in to seattle
3:31 pm
stidmama
jill is also very much a night owl...
3:31 pm
Pinikula
whichever is cheaper
3:32 pm

3:41 pm
Pinikula
oh, good point...
3:41 pm
jmcnrick
I need to be able to meet with donors at the very least and am still trying to get details for Sunday for me
3:42 pm
kje
ty gremlin!!!
3:42 pm
Pinikula
you can use my rig (truck) until Sunday (I have to come home on sunday)...but it would help save on car rental costs (you wouldn't really have to "rent" one until Sunday)...just a thought
3:42 pm
Vicuna
Yay for kje!
3:42 pm
jmcnrick
that is why I suggested we could car pool up and if you left before I did (there are donors in Portland too so I may just go back there anyway) you could take the train back
3:42 pm
kje
I must run, want to see if i can catch a quick snooze before mtg someone for a movie...
3:42 pm
jmcnrick
okay let me think about this a bit
3:43 pm

8:37 pm
Pinikula
no worries...we were all there once!
8:38 pm
featherbee
trent, take the ge5. it's a word for a rock, or the other clue was ge + poem. then plural it. then take that word you just made, a ge6, and plural it again, adding an extra vowel in somewhere at the end.
8:38 pm
Pinikula
* still working on the ge9 *

9:40 pm
trentsnana
half a goose?
9:40 pm
Pinikula
had the bear caves in the wrong spot
9:40 pm
Minveryork
Or use gremlinn's clue which is much easier & faster.
9:40 pm
gremlinn
goose = ne4, a common clue for it
9:41 pm
Minveryork
Half of a Canadian goose is *orth*east trentsnana.
9:41 pm
Pinikula
ne4 = hawaiian goose...a "babblet" (common word found in grids)
9:41 pm
Pinikula
or what grem said ;)
9:42 pm
Pinikula
or what min said ;)
9:42 pm

9:43 pm
gremlinn
just stick around, it'll get clearer
9:43 pm
Minveryork
I do not do stories until I'm done or have given up on grid. I will do story later. Will you be here for awhile?
9:44 pm
Pinikula
tnana, a "babblet" is usually a small word that appears frequently in grids...in this case, ne4 (hawaiian goose)...as you play, you may learn babblets and be able to reference them when used in clues for other words...
9:44 pm
trentsnana
ok, pin
9:45 pm
gremlinn

9:46 pm
gremlinn
those three words and a few others are good to remember together
9:46 pm
Pinikula
working on it, grem
9:47 pm
gremlinn
longer words that go with those three are: teosinte, essonite
9:47 pm

9:57 pm
Minveryork
Hello wht! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
9:58 pm
wht
can I have a clue for the es7
9:58 pm
Pinikula
the tile stats (below the grid) identifies how many words begin from that particular tile
9:58 pm
m9f9l
they just say how many words originate out of that tile.. and how many of them you've found.
9:58 pm
gremlinn
the 0/3 with the C means that there are 3 words that start on the C tile, and you've found 0 of them. (If it's 1/3, 2/3, or 3/3, it means you've found 1, 2, or all 3 of them.)
