GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, that's what I wondered when I saw that!

1:00 am

Pinikula

you rock, stid!!!

1:00 am

1:01 am

jillibus

<-- shakes head in wonderment at stid

1:01 am

stidmama

I went into Lickety to change the font size, was too large and couldn't get back into Babble

1:52 am

flosey

didn't manage to get the font smaller either!!

1:52 am

jillibus

1:53 am

jillibus

3:34 am

garyandjulie

hi ruby

3:34 am

rubyfoo

hello julie

3:34 am

ursh

early spring and very very dry and windy - i think wind is blowing away rain clouds

3:34 am

rubyfoo

so we have the mid-morning contingent!

3:34 am

garyandjulie

youngest glued to tv so thought i would make a start early

3:35 am

garyandjulie

hows things with you this morning?

3:35 am

3:35 am

garyandjulie

3:42 am

garyandjulie

half way now at least so will be happy for now until later this evening if i get called away

3:42 am

rubyfoo

83 now, almost half.....

3:42 am

rubyfoo

waiting for nurse

3:43 am

garyandjulie

lucky to get one on a sunday ruby

3:43 am

rubyfoo

now it's only every other day. It's really chilly and I put on a very old dress, very exotic and timeless, which I'm sure husband hates. Also, dangly earrings! not my usual sweat pants and t-shirt! hahah

3:44 am

garyandjulie

sounds lovely. im still in dressing down wasiting for coffee to work lol

3:44 am

rubyfoo

we go out for lunch on Sundays, unfortunately to a nearby restaurant with lovely ambience (right on the lake), but terrible, pretentios food

3:44 am

rubyfoo

tious*

3:44 am

rubyfoo

not expensive, though, and they love my husband

3:45 am

garyandjulie

we usually do the sunday roast bit, sundays usually family day with kids so if we go out its usually a picnic etc so they can wear themselves out

3:45 am

sandyloo

I bet your husband charms the waitresses

3:46 am

sandyloo

I have 90 so far still trying without the list

3:46 am

garyandjulie

sounds a good place ruby

3:46 am

sandyloo

well done on finishing those puzzles ruby

3:46 am

rubyfoo

when he had his heart attack last year and we missed one Sunday, the week we came back which was the week before they closed for the season, they comped our lunch. And everybody kissed us; it made me cry

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I think they thought he wouldn't make it through the winter....

3:47 am

sandyloo

ooh that is gorgeous , and I thought the French were not like that

3:47 am

garyandjulie

that is so sweet, you dont hear of nice places like that these days

3:48 am

rubyfoo

they aren't. Now and then, they buy us an aperitif, but that has never happened before. We are, however, very regular and faithful customers

3:48 am

rubyfoo

as we eat lunch out often

3:48 am

sandyloo

That is nice ruby, it sounds lovely where you live

3:49 am

rubyfoo

the lkae (Annecy) is really beautiful and although we see it from our house, we are high up, and this restaurant is about a mile down the hill, right on the lake. Amazingly pretty and they have a section of the restaurant, out of sight of the rest, where people have lunch right off their boats, frequently in bathing suits.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

do you have goodleearth?

3:50 am

rubyfoo

that's goodleEarth

3:50 am

garyandjulie

i do on my phone ruby

3:50 am

sandyloo

I can get it, and that would be great so what is your village called?

3:50 am

rubyfoo

Annecy, then head SE toward Veyrier then route de Thone and route de Morat

3:51 am

rubyfoo

we are in between those two roads and the house is pink. It gets so low, you can practically see the dogs!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

village is Veyrier du Lac

3:51 am

rubyfoo

it is so beautiful here that it makes all the other hardships much less important

3:52 am

sandyloo

I bet it does

3:52 am

rubyfoo

and there is no place in the US which is affordable which is nearly as nice

3:54 am

rubyfoo

half! used a French word , me6/21, for the 87th

3:54 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, that actually works!

3:55 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I thought of it then thought na, that's French!

3:55 am

garyandjulie

thats a big lake ruby

3:55 am

rubyfoo

hahah, george, you never know and I always try

3:55 am

rubyfoo

yesterday I kept trying moins...

3:55 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well ta for telling us coz I wouldn't have entered it otherwise!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

it's big and very cold and deep and too clean!

3:56 am

sandyloo

do you swim in it?

3:56 am

rubyfoo

and they've taken away most of the marshy bits and eliminated more than half of the water birds

3:56 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I try lots of French words, some of 'em work but I never thought that one would, coz it's not commonly in use in the English language as some of them are!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

never! too cold and I sink like a stone in fresh water -- spoiled by the ocean in Miami, 85F and clean

3:57 am

sandyloo

(sandy cant think of what it could be)

3:57 am

rubyfoo

how far are you from the ocean, sandy?

3:57 am

rubyfoo

kind of profession.....

3:58 am

rubyfoo

like the celestial body but change one vowel

3:58 am

sandyloo

about 10 mins from the farm and same from our house Perth has some of the best beaches in the world -

3:58 am

rubyfoo

sharks?

3:59 am

sandyloo

hmmm, since they banned whaling, we have a lot of big white pointers coming along the coast - so yes

3:59 am

rubyfoo

why isn't undie a word?

3:59 am

sandyloo

i tried that one

4:00 am

rubyfoo

Miami beaches are calm and clean and the biggest things are leopard rays, harmless and beautiful EXCEP when it's man-o-war season and then no swimming

4:00 am

garyandjulie

because would be to easy

4:01 am

sandyloo

I have been to the beach in from Deltona in Florida it was nice

4:02 am

rubyfoo

how close in do the sharks come?

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I think I've seen too many movies!

4:04 am

garyandjulie

im going to get dressed etc, should be back later depending on how mad day goes. happly babbly all

4:04 am

sandyloo

we have a very trendy beach (North cottesloe) with a lovely cafe which overlooks it -One morning a shark took a man in waist deep water - he died -everyone in the cafe saw it happen - fortunately this is not a common occurrence

4:05 am

rubyfoo

bye julie

4:05 am

rubyfoo

that is incredible, Sandy!

4:05 am

sandyloo

bye g&j

4:05 am

sandyloo

It was terrible

4:05 am

rubyfoo

do they have shark nets protecting the beach now? like they do in South Africa?

4:07 am

sandyloo

No we dont - we have helicoptor patrols in the summer - it is very unusual for an attack- statistically we have more shark attacks in our river

4:07 am

rubyfoo

nothing like that in Atlantic beaches (I don't think) but people were attacked by a school of blue fish in Rhode Island. They were feeding, though, not try to attack people

4:07 am

rubyfoo

are you a good swimmer?

4:07 am

sandyloo

I am an excellent swimmer, I love the water and do a lot of snorkeling

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I used to snorkel in the Bahamas, but in water that was only about 3 ft deep as I'm no swimmer

4:08 am

sandyloo

I have snorkeled on the outer barrier reef in Queensland (out of sight of land) where a shark bigger than me swam by - nearly close enough to touch

4:08 am

rubyfoo

as a good swimmer, you must be able to see wondrous fish while snorkeling

4:09 am

sandyloo

I loved it and wasnt afraid-I could see his eyes following me as he swam by

4:09 am

rubyfoo

once, a boyfriend took me down to the keys and we went snorkeling off a boat over a reef, but he held my hands the whole time so it was OK

4:09 am

rubyfoo

wow, I think my heart would have stopped!

4:10 am

sandyloo

the barrier reef -expecially the outer reef- is beyond amazing

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I've seen photos and travel programs about it; it must be fabulous!

4:10 am

sandyloo

I was completely awestruck by the beauty and colour of it

4:10 am

rubyfoo

you are very brave

4:10 am

rubyfoo

do they have glass-bottom boat tours?

4:11 am

sandyloo

strange experience to remember, but I felt no fear only amazement at seeing such a creature so close up

4:11 am

rubyfoo

it's a great experience to have in your memory!

4:11 am

sandyloo

I think they do have those in the areas closer in- where we went took six hours in a boat to get there, it was a long way out to sea

4:12 am

rubyfoo

do your girls swim? and husband?

4:12 am

sandyloo

it was a very rough day , but you can go closer in and swim off the pontoons they have moored

4:13 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning, just here for few minutes but could I get a clue for ri6/27, please?

4:13 am

rubyfoo

it sounds magical

4:13 am

sandyloo

Every one here gets taught to swim before they go to school even, Bruce does scooba diving as does my sister

4:13 am

rubyfoo

don't have it marc but good morning anyway

4:13 am

sandyloo

dont have it either sorry marc

4:14 am

rubyfoo

they tried to teach me, but I was unteachable. And my mother was a good swimmer!

4:14 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I have it

4:14 am

sandyloo

and my eldest daughter also scooba dives

4:14 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

means most ri4/7, Marc

4:15 am

sandyloo

My mother was raised on a sheep station and never even saw the ocean until she was 14- she can swm now but wont go over her depth

4:15 am

rubyfoo

ty george

4:15 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yw ruby

4:15 am

sandyloo

I could teach you ruby, I am very calming

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I waon't go past my waist unless somebody is holding my hand!

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I think I'm too old!!!!

4:16 am

sandyloo

LOL you could learn in an indoor pool

4:16 am

sandyloo

You are never too old

4:16 am

sandyloo

and you are not old anyway

4:17 am

rubyfoo

when I come to Australia, I'll make sandwiches for you in the boat while you're snorkeling! When I used to sail, I was the one who could go below and cook while everybody else was seasick!

4:18 am

sandyloo

my sister has a 35 ft catermaran which we sail over to a nearby island and stay the weekend

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

Hi everyone. Just read back a little in the chog, and sandy I have snorkelled off the barrier reef, about 12 miles out off Cape Tribulation. It was amazing.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

if there is any money left at the end, once those near and dear are departed, I'll start travelling again!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

you gals are amazing!

4:18 am

sandyloo

Sally, I found it one of my life's great experiences, it was truly amazing

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I am a chicken little city woman!

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

It was on my "must do" list when we visited Australia.

4:19 am

sandyloo

Time is aways a factor Ruby, you have to have plenty of it

4:19 am

rubyfoo

"bucket list"

4:19 am

sandyloo

did you like Aus Sally?

4:20 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks Goerge finally got it.

4:20 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, we sadly only had three weeks but planned it all ourselves (well I did!) and did an incredible amount.

4:20 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

your welcome, Marc!

4:20 am

sandyloo

Ruby, you have to be adventurous

4:20 am

Sally-catlover

Would love to go back but don't know that we ever will.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

now my adventure will be making a Campari for mr. nasty! see you later

4:21 am

rubyfoo

{{hugs to all!}} *poof*

4:21 am

m9f9l

hi all

4:21 am

m9f9l

late flip for me!

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

bye ruby - and you should be careful what you write in the chog!

4:21 am

sandyloo

Sal, did you just go to the east coast?

4:22 am

sandyloo

hi m9

4:22 am

m9f9l

hello

4:22 am

rubyfoo

hah hah, sally! {{sally}} for caring about me!

4:22 am

sandyloo

there is so much to do on the east coast, I love it over there, Here in the west there is a lot to do but the distances are great and you need a lot of time

4:24 am

Sally-catlover

Yes sandy. Started in Sydney, then went over to T's cousin's sheep station near (for an Australian version of near) Sofala in NSW the other side of the blue mountains, then flew up to Cairns and took the train up to Kuranda, then back to Cairns, hired a car and went up to Cape Trib where we spent a week, then back to Cairns, returned the car and went back to Brisbane to fly home.

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, I'm serious. I've read the chog over the past week looking for something and have been staggered (a) at Babble's kindness over two Babblers in dire straits and (b) at someone's nastiness in sending a Babbler's postings (you will know who I mean) when she was talking about leaving her husband and going to USA, to her husband.

4:25 am

sandyloo

Sounds like a good trip - I love Sydney and have been there a lot and also to queensland which is very beautiful as my sis in law lives near noosa

4:26 am

sandyloo

I know about that Sally and it does make you nervous , you do have to be careful

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

You miss a lot if you don't read back in the chog! I also saw a reference to someone sending a nasty email to Sprite (Sprite, of all people) in another babbler's name. Then I see the good that was done a week ago and I think not all is bad.

4:28 am

sandyloo

But 99% of people are good especially on this site

4:28 am

Haz1558

Sally, I agree. I think people sometimes give out information when it's neither necessary nor wise.

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

The warmth that came out over the two Babblers in distress (paticularly the first one) brought me to tears.

4:29 am

sandyloo

I remember when that happened , and I was amazed at that too, Sprite of all people did not deserve that

4:29 am

sandyloo

me too
Sally

4:29 am

Haz1558

It was sent to sprite, supposedly in my name and was probably an attack on both of us.

4:29 am

sandyloo

hi Haz

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

So I shouldn't know about your op then Haz? Which I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't been searching for something quite unrelated.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Thankfully, after a great deal of distress on sprite's part, it got straightened out.

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

Was it in your name? I didn't remember that bit. I was just so horrified that such a thing should happen.

4:30 am

sandyloo

Haz most people are very good on this site, you must admit

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

And are you well again now Haz? Still being waited on hand and foot I hope.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Well, the op I reckon is fit to be known about, but I would never go into intimate medical details.

4:30 am

sandyloo

but it is the few that spoil it for the many

4:30 am

Haz1558

Waited on? I'm absolutely fine, back to normal in every way.

4:31 am

Haz1558

The e-mail, which was anonymous, was sent from an e-mail address nicely doctored to look as though it had come from me.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Most people here are fine, I'd just be careful over what one malevolent spirit can do.

4:32 am

Sally-catlover

I think someone's idea for having a "news" column separate from the chat in the new Babble is absolutely brilliant. I just couldn't believe what I had missed by not having time to chat in the last week.

4:32 am

Sally-catlover

Without asking for clues <g> did you ever work out who it was?

4:32 am

sandyloo

when is the new babble coming and where do I find out about it?

4:33 am

sandyloo

have our suspicions i think

4:33 am

Haz1558

I've always said that there should be a rolling transcript of news, it would save on people constantly asking for updates, especially when maybe people don't want to repeat a story again and again.

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

Dr-G is making announcements on the Babble Community group on Facebook, but no dates yet.

4:33 am

Haz1558

I never found out who it was and decided that I shouldn't try to be Miss Marple because I would get nowhere.

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

Yes Haz, especially if it is a distressing story they have to repeat.

4:34 am

sandyloo

no one will ever know i think

4:34 am

sandyloo

I have been to that but couldn't really find anything out, must try again

4:34 am

Haz1558

No, sprite destroyed the e-mail, quite rightly, so it's in the past now.

4:35 am

Sally-catlover

Nothing posted recently, but there are a few little videos about how certain things will work.

4:35 am

Haz1558

I know people ask out of concern, but I do feel for people who are being asked continually how they are. Sometimes it's not nice to be defined by a problem.

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

I think Jellen had the right idea by putting updates in her profile.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, I do too. It gives the information people are looking for and it means you can keep abreast of how she's doing without always bringing it up. She appreciates being treated normally, I think.

4:38 am

ardilla

hi all

4:38 am

ardilla

how's the grid?

4:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, ardilla.

4:39 am

Haz1558

It's a civilised grid, ardilla.

4:39 am

ardilla

is lickety's up?

4:39 am

ardilla

good

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ardilla.

4:39 am

Haz1558

It is. Your day is complete!

4:40 am

ardilla

yahhh, taking a small babble break from packing :)

4:41 am

Haz1558

Packing isn't a favourite activity, I take it?

4:41 am

ardilla

not when it's an entire apt

4:41 am

ardilla

it's hard to stay motivated

4:42 am

Haz1558

Oh, ghastly. You deserve a break.

4:42 am

ardilla

kitchen's nearly done

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

Are you staying in Japan or moving back to US?

4:42 am

Haz1558

Are you being ruthless and throwing out stuff or is everything being packed away?

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

(Love the kimono by the way)

4:43 am

ardilla

actually moving to Spain

4:43 am

Sally-catlover

Wow, that will be quite a contrast.

4:43 am

Haz1558

You'll be hearing lots of the old Spanish cheer (ole) much beloved of babble cluers.

4:43 am

ardilla

trying to packing everything worthwhile away and throwing out the clutter

4:43 am

ardilla

thx

4:44 am

ardilla

*sally

4:45 am

Haz1558

Yes, the kimono is something and those cherry blossom look so typically Japanese. Are you sorry to be leaving?

4:45 am

ardilla

yes and no

4:45 am

sandyloo

just been looking at that new babble thing, I hope I will like it-

4:46 am

ardilla

i'm ready for something new, but i'll miss the friends i made here

4:46 am

Haz1558

Of course you'll like it, sandy. Australian perfect wives are adaptable.

4:46 am

ardilla

what new babble thing?

4:46 am

gortmold

*gortmold barges into conversation* what new thing?

4:46 am

Sally-catlover

Oh you found it sandy, Good. I think we don't have to use some of the changes (like flipping the board) if we don't want.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Hopefully you'll settle down well in Spain, ardilla.

4:47 am

ardilla

hi gort

4:47 am

ardilla

thx haz

4:47 am

gortmold

hi ardilla hi haz his sandy

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

I don't know how long you've been in Japan, ardilla, but do you speak good Japanese now? And how is your Spanish!

4:47 am

Haz1558

The new thing - new features are to be introduced to babble to bring it a bit more up to date. You get ejected from your seat every time you enter a wrong word.

4:47 am

Haz1558

It'll teach people to be careful.

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

We will be able to mute the trolls.

4:47 am

gortmold

that sounds terrible - i'll have to babble standing up

4:48 am

Haz1558

That would be Endurance Babble.

4:48 am

gortmold

lol haz, how do you know about it?

4:48 am

ardilla

my japanese is okay, not as it should be after 2 years in okinawa

4:48 am

Haz1558

I'm making tha bit up.

4:48 am

Haz1558

*that

4:49 am

Sally-catlover

Dr God has set up a Babble Community group on Facebook where he has been posting updates and ideas.

4:49 am

ardilla

my spanish is better since i took classes and know some italian

4:49 am

ardilla

oh, don't have facebook

4:49 am

gortmold

ohhh...i don't have a face, so i guess i miss out

4:49 am

ardilla

i like the idea of muting trolls

4:50 am

Haz1558

Seriously, Dr-G asked for feedback and suggestions and is tweaking the site. Mind you, it seems ages since he started talking about it.

4:50 am

gortmold

wonder how that works (troll muting that is)

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

I don't use it much but occasionally it's useful. I really don't want to read what everyone's had for breakfast every day.

4:50 am

Haz1558

I think you can mute anyone, not just trolls. Days when you're feeling anti-social you can just turn everyone off.

4:50 am

gortmold

has someone suggested grid flippage?

4:51 am

Haz1558

Sally, I think we think alike.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, that's one of his ideas.

4:51 am

gortmold

what are the others?

4:51 am

Haz1558

Somebody must have, presumably thinking that a different perspective will help you see more words.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

Hang on, I'll go and look at the other suggestions for those not on FB.

4:51 am

gortmold

thanks sally

4:51 am

ardilla

the few ti4s i've been anti-social, i just dove into the grid and didn't surface

4:51 am

Haz1558

The clues list is going to be incorporated in some way.

4:52 am

ardilla

thx sally

4:52 am

gortmold

ooohh goody, does that mean we get lickety even when lickety is awol?\

4:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, when I'm feeling anti-social or murderous, I hide the chat log.

4:53 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think that's the idea, gortmold, although it may be in a slightly different form.

4:53 am

gortmold

i've never worked out how to do that, how do you hide it haz?

4:53 am

Haz1558

I'll be honest, being a computer wide-eyed in wonderment onlooker, I have exactly no idea how it's all going to be done.

4:53 am

Haz1558

There's a button, second from right - Hide/show chat field.

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

Different colour themes (which I think are going to be optional because there were howls of protest at some of the suggestions), a different layout, pop-up clues if needed.

4:54 am

gortmold

hide the chog i mean, haz

4:54 am

Haz1558

Between my friends and show entire chat log (up above)

4:54 am

gortmold

yeah pressing that doesn't seem to make any difference to me

4:54 am

Haz1558

You're right. It used to.

4:54 am

gortmold

i've tried it many times and the chat just keeps scrolling on

4:55 am

Haz1558

Do you have Babble Expert?

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

Rotate grid, direct mail (with a you've got mail id), ask for a clue, give a clue, clickable letters (will be iPad friendly).

4:55 am

Soodle

Hello everybody. :-)

4:55 am

gortmold

yes i do haz

4:55 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle.

4:56 am

ardilla

i like the color scheme idea

4:56 am

sandyloo

it is interesting no doubt, and (possibly a controversial comment) I would like to see Dr God make some money out of it, after all I sometimes feel guilty about what a good deal I got when I joined babble, lots of value there

4:56 am

ardilla

happy b-lated b-day soodle

4:56 am

Haz1558

Then, use the yellow bar to the right and bring it across and hide the chat log.

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

Think that's about it so far from a quick whizz through the photos and videos.

4:56 am

Haz1558

I'd happily pay some more money as well, Sally.

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

If I want to hide the chat I sometimes just click on Who's Online which hides it.

4:57 am

gortmold

yes i spose that'll do it haz, tho right now, i'm happy to chat

4:57 am

Haz1558

Oh, that's true, or my friends would work as well.

4:58 am

Sally-catlover

Yees, Haz, in theory - but when we paid it was for lifetime membership. I think Dr-G is hoping to attract new members to the site, but so far as I can see most of them arrive through word of mouth.

4:59 am

ardilla

yah, got a di6/7 combo

4:59 am

sandyloo

have to have dinner bbl

4:59 am

Haz1558

We've had occasions when it's been advertised on some website or other and there have been quantities of new people initially, but then interest seems to fade for most.

4:59 am

Haz1558

Bye sandy.

4:59 am

ardilla

bye sandy

5:00 am

Sally-catlover

My stepdaughter was very keen when she stayed recently, and signed up for the trial membership but has never had time to play. I hope she does soon.

5:00 am

ardilla

phantom: undies

5:01 am

Haz1558

One of my suggestions to Dr-G was that there would be an animated help section which would explain everything. It's not a problem when one or two new people arrive and ask questions, but if lots do, then it can get tedious trying to explain.

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

It took me quite a long time to get into it. I managed two trial periods but re-signing on with husband's id because I wasn't sure. Also you all seemed to know each other in the chat and I felt shy about joining in.

5:02 am

Haz1558

Well, we're glad you overcame the shyness in that case1

5:03 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean, it took me weeks to join in as well.

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

I think in any group it can seem that everyone knows everyone else at first. There's another group I belong to which is especially welcoming to newcomers, even urging them, "now you've joined us, you can never leave" sort of thing. I think that's nice. Trouble is here when new people come it's very often to just ask a question at first. Worst still are the total strangers who just ask for a clue! Not even a please...

5:05 am

Soodle

Lol. I bumbled around the grid for weeks. Then when I went to bed, all I could see were combinations of letters.... The old OCD kicking in....

5:06 am

Jayk

Soodle that happened to me too. Morning all!

5:06 am

Haz1558

It's funny, there are so many variations in the way players play and the way chatters chat or stealth babblers babble.

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

I was so bad at it when I started soodle! Some people are very purist about not using lists, or morewords, but actually they help me to get the words next time.

5:06 am

Jayk

sometimes i dream babble

5:07 am

ardilla

well, gonna start packing again

5:07 am

ardilla

bye ladies happy babbling

5:07 am

ardilla

hi jayk

5:07 am

Haz1558

I'll admit to being purist about never asking for clues and about the way things are clued.

5:07 am

Haz1558

Bye, ardilla, happy babbling.

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

lol, I don't dream Babble, but I knew I was in trouble when I visited grandson who had one of those mats on the floor made of the alphabet, and I found myself looking at it and forming words.

5:07 am

Haz1558

Apart from that, I'll happily use any and all resources.

5:08 am

Jayk

Sally that is SO funny!

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

I very very rarely ask for clues, although I do make use of the ones offered!

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

Sad, isn't it Jayk.

5:08 am

Soodle

Well, I am a 'List-Woman', with no apologies. I have also been know to beg for clues, not just ask. (shameless thats me!)

5:08 am

gortmold

why not ask, sally?

5:08 am

Jayk

It is.

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

Really gort because I find I don't need to. I will do absolutely as much as I can and then (depending on the size of the grid) use morewords and then list if I really need to.

5:10 am

Haz1558

I don't ask for clues because I reckon if there's a list, if there's morewords and if hints have been given in the chat log, the word can and will be found.

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, Haz, you have put it exactly.

5:11 am

Soodle

Off to do stuff. Hope to be back later. Happy Babbling all... Poof

5:11 am

Haz1558

I don't mind people asking for clues, mainly because I like the fun of making them up, although the spoonfeeding can be annoying.

5:11 am

Haz1558

Toodle- Soodle.

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

If people do give clues, I do prefer giving the meaning of the word to the ones that practically spell it out.

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

(But I do still make use of them!) Funniest is where I log on, and get a word from a clue without even having looked at the grid.

5:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, I'm not so purist that I won't get words from clues given.

5:13 am

gortmold

i like getting and giving all kinds of clues (good, bad, spoon-shaped, 3/4 of the word) and i love it when a "careless" babbler drops a pb word for me to scavenge :)

5:14 am

Haz1558

Okay, right now I need to get my soup pureed and tidy myself up a bit. Enjoy the grid!

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Haz. Been nice chatting.

5:15 am

gortmold

cheerio haz

5:15 am

Haz1558

Bye!

5:17 am

sandyloo

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

Welcome back sandy. Hope you had a nice meal. No doubt being the perfect Australian wife you dolled yourself up in high heels to serve it.

5:19 am

sandyloo

Ha, Nicky and I are getting those diet meals delivered while husband is away LOL I need more wine!

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

lol sandy. Sounds perfect to me.

5:20 am

sandyloo

The meals are really nice and very fresh I must say - it is part of my plan to force Nicky to eat better

5:20 am

sandyloo

but I do need more wine ....and I have none

5:21 am

sandyloo

it means , healthy eating, no shopping as it is delivered, no dishes, no cooking

5:22 am

sandyloo

and I really think it will save money as it keeps me away from the shops

5:22 am

gortmold

5:22 am

sandyloo

Trim a Weigh

5:22 am

gortmold

5:23 am

sandyloo

5:24 am

gortmold

5:24 am

sandyloo

5:24 am

sandyloo

5:24 am

gortmold

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

wow sandy.

5:24 am

gortmold

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

Pity they don't deliver wine, but you could get that delivered too.

5:25 am

sandyloo

good while husband is away - gort we are doing 1000 cals a day (leaves me a little for wine) and it is 125 dollars per person for three meals and seven days

5:26 am

sandyloo

that is 3 per day - and Sal, wine can be delivered but not by them! LOL

5:26 am

gortmold

that sounds very good

5:28 am

sandyloo

it is good, I spend more than that for food , way more, I am too extavagant with food shopping

5:28 am

sandyloo

so I figure , I am being an even more perfect wife , saving money while hubby away

5:29 am

gortmold

Sally-catlover

I do not believe there are 20 K words. I have 7 so far :-(

rubyfoo

back from lunch

6:39 am

rubyfoo

hello again

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby! Had gone to get a drink.

6:39 am

Soodle

{{{{Rubes}}}}

6:39 am

sandyloo

hi ruby

6:42 am

rubyfoo

6:42 am

rubyfoo

you guys sound very rowdy! what's going on?

6:42 am

rubyfoo

gort is very cute

6:42 am

rubyfoo

you're all kidding on the kh's, right?

6:43 am

Sally-catlover

I have one, not the other

6:43 am

sandyloo

gort is funny

6:43 am

sandyloo

they are both very similar

6:43 am

sandyloo

just ad one letter for the five

6:44 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, had tried adding one letter in the middle. Got it. That's a word??

6:45 am

rubyfoo

ok, got some k's, still 9 to go! (k's, that iw)

6:45 am

rubyfoo

76 words left otherwise

6:46 am

rubyfoo

for nbt, anything for the o?

6:47 am

Sally-catlover

Can't find definition for the kh5, will look later.

6:48 am

Sally-catlover

For the o, start with an exclamation and past tense it (oh 4/6)

6:48 am

rubyfoo

I looked it up, it's a hebrew letter, actually spelled with an h!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

ty sally!

6:48 am

Sally-catlover

And ty for the definition ruby!

6:49 am

rubyfoo

and everybody knew that, hahah

6:50 am

sandyloo

I always think about the accents you guys have, hmmm

6:50 am

herinfernallady

hello

6:50 am

rubyfoo

hello ladyherin!

6:51 am

Sally-catlover

Accents? We don't have accents! You have an accent <g>

6:51 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone

6:51 am

rubyfoo

hahah, accent, moi??

6:51 am

rubyfoo

hi annie

6:51 am

sandyloo

hi annie and herin

6:52 am

herinfernallady

Hi

6:52 am

Anniebrook

hi ruby, sandy, herin, sally

6:52 am

Anniebrook

what accent? Not me.

6:52 am

sandyloo

I have no accent , ruby do you have a deep southern accent and sal ,,,maybe a geordie accent?

6:52 am

Sally-catlover

It's funny though sandy, I always imagine everyone on the chog speaking with an English accent, whatever the nationality. I remember when Haz met with Ata and FM, one of them said they had forgotten she would have had an Irish accent.

6:52 am

herinfernallady

Hello. I had so much fun today

6:52 am

sandyloo

what did you do?

6:53 am

rubyfoo

ki6/36 smooched with a lisp

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

Geordie? Moi? lol sandy. Totally wrong part of the country, and in any case I was brought up in the south, so have a Received English pronunciation (I think it's called). I talk posh for round here :-)

6:53 am

rubyfoo

I have a NY accent in French, neutral in English

6:53 am

herinfernallady

Had a lunch to welcome home my friends little one and she is so cute

6:53 am

Anniebrook

thanks, ruby..ki6 you back

6:54 am

rubyfoo

posh sally!

6:54 am

Sally-catlover

Not an American accent in English ruby? (to my ears I mean)

6:54 am

sandyloo

no such thing as neutral Ruby, you must have a yankee accent of some type

6:54 am

rubyfoo

well, yes *blushing* but neutral considering where I'm from!

6:55 am

sandyloo

Herin and I are the only ones without accents then

6:55 am

Sally-catlover

brb

6:55 am

rubyfoo

do you know the actor Edward Burns? He speaks like where I'm from, but, fortunately, I got rid of that

6:55 am

herinfernallady

I sound more Aussie English than Aussie

6:55 am

m9f9l

here in the Pacific Northwest..we really don't have much of any accent

6:56 am

rubyfoo

isn't that because you all come from elsewhere?

6:56 am

rubyfoo

m9?

6:56 am

m9f9l

which is why most television reporters sound like they're from here.LOL

6:56 am

sandyloo

I sound more english than aussie

6:56 am

m9f9l

hi

6:56 am

herinfernallady

Annnd We got to sing nursery rhymes and when we stopped there was howls of protests from the wee one

6:57 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute!

6:57 am

sandyloo

cute herin

6:57 am

Anniebrook

I sound New York

6:57 am

m9f9l

lucky you herin... babies are so wonderful

6:57 am

sandyloo

no I just dont have an accent at all

6:57 am

herinfernallady

She is 6 mths. She loves the song This is the day we give babies away

6:57 am

m9f9l

don't know that one

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I used to sound Queens, now just Northeast regional. It took me a whole semester to learn my r's and aw's

6:58 am

Anniebrook

herin, that is such a ni4 age

6:58 am

herinfernallady

This is the day we give babies away
With a half a pound of tea
You just open the lid, and out pops the kid
With a twelve month guarantee.

This is the day we give babies away
With a half a pound of tea
If you know any ladies who want any babies
Just send them round to me

6:58 am

Anniebrook

I pronounce my R but I still sound New York..like the accent

6:58 am

Sally-catlover

That's a lovely song herin, didn't know that one.

6:58 am

herinfernallady

She has just come back from the hospital after being burned by a mug of boiling water

6:58 am

rubyfoo

I've never heard that before, lady, please sing a little louder!

6:58 am

m9f9l

is the tune same as any other songs?

6:59 am

Anniebrook

Oh god, is the baby okay...

6:59 am

rubyfoo

I lived in Illionois for a year after college, that took care of NY for me.

6:59 am

herinfernallady

It was an old folk song

6:59 am

rubyfoo

where was she burned?

6:59 am

Anniebrook

ruby, I dont mind my accent

7:00 am

rubyfoo

1st husband was accent-neutral and 2nd one, too.

7:00 am

m9f9l

when you said welcome home little one I thought she was a newborn..

7:00 am

rubyfoo

Actually, when I hear Edward Burns, I miss it!

7:00 am

herinfernallady

Chest size of my palm and she has had an upper thigh skin graft. That looks like an angry red rectangle.

7:00 am

Anniebrook

ruby, where were the hubbies from?

7:00 am

rubyfoo

1st one from Elgin, IL and 2nd one from St. Louis

7:01 am

Anniebrook

hence, no new york accent...lol

7:01 am

rubyfoo

and neither parent was born in NY, mother came to Pittsburgh (from Ukraine) as an infant and father was born in Schenectady, so neither one had a NY accent

7:01 am

Anniebrook

poor baby...

7:02 am

rubyfoo

but my 1st Fr teacher was from the Bronx, so that colors my French

7:02 am

m9f9l

oh...poor baby!

7:02 am

Anniebrook

just a question, not a judgement...is there anything wrong with a New York accent

7:02 am

herinfernallady

She is very lucky she was wearing a nappy that was cloth.

7:02 am

rubyfoo

that is awful about the baby!

7:03 am

herinfernallady

She is recovering well and is always so damn cheeky. She even got a bravery award from the hospital.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

no no, I miss hearing it (speak louder, Annie) but as a very young faculty wife, it would have made me too noticeable in Illinois

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I tried really hard to blend in

7:04 am

rubyfoo

I was much younger than everybody else

7:04 am

mongie

morning everyone

7:04 am

herinfernallady

Hi Mongie

7:04 am

rubyfoo

hello mongie!

7:04 am

Anniebrook

what I fi4 funny or odd, is that everyone (well, most) wants to come to New York but noone wants to sounds like they are from New York

7:04 am

sandyloo

hi mongie

7:04 am

Anniebrook

hi mongie

7:04 am

rubyfoo

not any more, though, I think I'm a "senior" in hear!

7:05 am

rubyfoo

here* duh

7:05 am

mongie

ruby .. couldn't help but read some of the chat ... I am from the midwest, and was told (bye a Chicagoan, no less) that I had an accent! Still don't know what he was talking about! lol

7:05 am

herinfernallady

It was very cute seeing my b.f being used as a climbing frame by one of the four year olds

7:05 am

rubyfoo

Chicago accents are distinctive (John Belushi, e.g.) and music to my ears

7:06 am

mongie

oops .. *by

7:06 am

rubyfoo

and where I lived in upstate NY, the local accent made Mary, marry and merry all sound identical!

7:06 am

mongie

I am originally from Davenport, Iowa, and don't have a distinguishable accent. I think HE was the one with the accent! lol

7:07 am

rubyfoo

Iowa is NBC neutral, I think, like Nebraska (Tom Brokaw)

7:07 am

mongie

yes!

7:07 am

mongie

that's why I was surprised to hear that I "had an accent"!

7:08 am

I think Iowa and Nebraska are sort of perfect, unaccented American English

7:08 am

mongie

Btw, I like Chicago accents, too. :)

7:09 am

rubyfoo

when I traveled for work, it was good to be a little bit more neutral than Queens!

7:09 am

jmcnrick

sandyloo

I was only 18 when I started

7:25 am

mongie

sandy ... what diet are you on?

7:25 am

Sally-catlover

That sounds a pretty bad regime to me sandy, but there may be wine in the pb

7:26 am

jmcnrick

rolf the diet is affecting her brain

7:26 am

rubyfoo

tough regime! my husband has a martini instead of equivalent food calories. I guess it works for him, he's certainly skinny

7:26 am

jmcnrick

*runs to the pb*

7:26 am

rubyfoo

not the brain, just the math! haha

7:27 am

sandyloo

jm, Nicky and I are getting those meals delivered while husband is away - 1000 cals a day -3 meals a day- 125 dollars each- no cooking no shopping no dishes and just a little wine

7:27 am

rubyfoo

looking for the elusive wine

7:27 am

rubyfoo

that is very expensive!

7:27 am

jmcnrick

and is it working?

7:27 am

mongie

sounds like a good plan ... except the shortage of wine.

7:27 am

sandyloo

not enough wine for me - doing it mainly to encourage better eating for nicky

7:27 am

jmcnrick

125 dollars for how many meals

7:28 am

rubyfoo

that seems like a lot of money!

7:28 am

mongie

I have been on, and off, Weight Watchers. Always works, but I tend to regress to old eating habits. :(

7:28 am

sandyloo

3 meals a day for 7 days

7:28 am

mongie

And, I don't get enough exercise.

7:28 am

rubyfoo

7:30 am

sandyloo

7:30 am

rubyfoo

72 Temple Owl

8:00 am

herinfernallady

I just had to look that up and that looks kind of nasty

8:01 am

72 Temple Owl

Mom

8:42 am

Scrabbler

We can translate your typos

8:42 am

Scrabbler

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

uh oh...dad cleaned tub yesterday - reaching and pressure - and back hurts again. just when it was improving.

8:44 am

m9f9l

nah... that's just crossy winking at me!

8:44 am

m9f9l

or maybe winking with his tongue out...

8:44 am

Mom

oh dear TO, I'm sorry to hear that

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Owl

8:44 am

Scrabbler

TY, Mom

8:45 am

Scrabbler

What is the "sing" clue?

8:45 am

Mom

singular Scrabbs

8:45 am

weiik

could be time to climb in tub with hot water and salts

8:45 am

72 Temple Owl

well i try to tell him to used spray once a week so it is not so hard to clean. can rinse off slow drain makes it worse.

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I was singing here

8:46 am

m9f9l

<----- clouds across the river this am

8:46 am

Mom

what a lovely voice you have Scrabbler

8:46 am

72 Temple Owl

"vi" and "sing" in the same sentence is asking for trouble

8:46 am

weiik

TO, friend showed me how to clean drain, usually hair ... did u try that? Only for tub.

8:46 am

Anniebrook

Owl, maybe now he will listen..hope so

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Mom, your speakers must be defective. I have zero musical ability except for listening to music.

8:47 am

Anniebrook

vi and sing in the same breath. yikes

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

no way annie, too old and set in ways. i have to learn to bite my tongue.

8:47 am

Scrabbler, you don't listen with your ears, you listen with your heart

Question: my friend's daughter, age 23, college dropout (needs to "find herself + understand life") enjoys doing burlesque shows. My reaction (being aghast + concerned) has bothered my friend. She wants me to accept it.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

I guess there is no question there, but I am worried about this girl.

8:51 am

ChampFit

That brought me out of lurking mode...NOT ACCEPTING!

8:51 am

weiik

congrat her on being employed

8:51 am

Scrabbler

TY, Champ

8:51 am

Mom

morning Champ

8:51 am

Scrabbler

Haha, weiik

8:51 am

ChampFit

Morning all!

8:51 am

weiik

not much u can say ...

8:52 am

Mom

I would not want my daughter doing burlesque

8:52 am

Christa

morning champfit

8:52 am

Scrabbler

I have seen the pics on her FB account--very exhibitionist

8:52 am

bichon

It's the mother and daughters problem. You can just be neutral

8:52 am

ChampFit

I wouldn't even want my daughter working at Hooters.

8:52 am

m9f9l

well.. I don't think you need to go as far as accept it, if it's not acceptable to you,lol.. but you can then keep that to yourself.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I no longer say much, except "she makes her own choices"

8:53 am

ChampFit

Honestly, the way they dress these days, there isn't a whole lot of difference!

8:53 am

Christa

boy how true.. every household raises their kids differently...

8:53 am

weiik

when my daughter was looking a work after school, I suggested college, she found massage school, and wanted 7K, I told her college ... u know .. she did not get massage or college, but, got a great job anyway... I wouldn't support something I wasn't 100% behind

8:53 am

m9f9l

well...even saying "she makes her own choices" can come across as very judgemental depending on how it's said... how often it's said... why it's said...

8:53 am

Scrabbler

I just got off the phone with her and she brought it up again because of other people not "accepting" it.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

True, m9

8:54 am

ChampFit

I don't think it's up to her to make people accept it. Why should you? Why does it have to come up at all?

8:54 am

Christa

my favorite for me is... parenting is not a popularity contest

8:54 am

bichon

And she's looking for validation somewhere. I wouldn't give it, but I wouldn't criticize the choice either

8:55 am

ChampFit

Exactly!

8:55 am

weiik

scrab, ask her to go to the show with her, and she how she accepts it ...

8:55 am

weiik

put her on the spot

8:55 am

Christa

go weiik... good advice

8:56 am

weiik

I've seen this b4 and never accepted it, just said nice and changed the conversation

8:56 am

Scrabbler

My friend is very liberal and accepts everything. I am worried about the girl's ongoing involvement in this.

8:56 am

weiik

not your problem ... got company ,., poof

8:57 am

Mom

that is good, Weiik. The daughter might be sugar coating the job

8:57 am

Scrabbler

The fact is that the girl can do whatever she wants but my friend + her husband have been supporting the girl financially while the girl "finds herself."

8:57 am

Scrabbler

No pay for performing--they do it for fun.

8:58 am

crosshair

as a father,i would not be happy if my girl was working at a strip club,as a friend i would not be happy.i have seen to many bright young girls used up in 2 years and tossed out with the trash when the next fresh young face comes along..it is a time limited and age limited lifestyle choice

8:58 am

ChampFit

WHAT? Ugh!

8:58 am

Mom

That is not helping her "find herself"

8:58 am

m9f9l

ah.. so you'd be happier if she were paid for it champ?LOL

8:58 am

Mom

no way! no pay??

8:58 am

ChampFit

;)

8:59 am

Mom

at 23 they need to learn how to support themselves

8:59 am

m9f9l

so it's more like a campy performance?

8:59 am

Scrabbler

At most the girl has worked part-time, now lost her job, and parents support her with $ because she is "lost."

8:59 am

Mom

Scrabbler, is that her only work?

8:59 am

Mom

never mind, posts crossed paths

8:59 am

Riverdance

cant help but jump in here - where is that teaching her responsibility - we may not like job choices but she is not learning anything about being an adult

9:00 am

m9f9l

well all of US getting up in arms about it isn't going to do anything...

9:00 am

Mom

(((River)))

9:00 am

Riverdance

Hello Everyone

9:00 am

ChampFit

That's a hard age...they should be moving toward more responsibility, but the job market for that age is very tough. Hey River!

9:00 am

bichon

It's a parent problem. Unless they're willing to make her support herself, the situation won't improve. I would be afraid of exotic dancing leading to prostitution

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, this girl has not shown ambition to support herself yet. She depends upon Mom & Dad. OK, it is none of my business anyway, but I have observed all of this since the girl went to college 5 yrs ago.

9:00 am

m9f9l

is your friend disfunctional in other ways?

9:01 am

Riverdance

She hasnt had to Scrabbs - enabling is NOT doing her any favors

9:01 am

Scrabbler

My friend is very liberal and sees the burlesque as artistic expression.

9:01 am

m9f9l

my sis was an exotic dancer for years. and neither she nor her dancing friends were into prostitution.

9:02 am

m9f9l

on the bright side, your friend's dd is telling mom what she's doing. My sis never told my parents.

9:02 am

Mom

she didn't, M9? wow

9:03 am

Mom

I guess you could pull it off if she didn't live at home

9:03 am

Scrabbler

When I express concern for the girl it is turned into my not accepting her lifestyle.

9:03 am

Scrabbler

106 to go and I am stuck.

9:03 am

m9f9l

but burlesque is not exotic dancing. and burlesque does not necessarily mean unclothing...

9:03 am

Riverdance

I may not like it but an not criticizing the dance (hmm - frog in my throat there), its continue to allow her to do whatever she wants with out any financial support for herself - god forbid, but what would happen to her if something happened to Mom and Dad

9:04 am

Mom

Amen River!!

9:04 am

m9f9l

whereas my sister was definitely a "stripper"

9:04 am

bichon

It's really their problem, don't make it yours. Tell her you don't want to discuss it

9:04 am

crosshair

burlesque is a very loose term,is she doing a 1920,s can can in plays,or is she at a club buck naked and gyrating on a pole for pay?.one may be fine ,the other is sex for money

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I have seen photos (girl posts them on FB)--pasties + thong--virtually naked, with much make-up.

9:04 am

Mom

I hate to leave such a great conversation but I have reached NBT and halfway. {{Hugs}} to all of you

9:05 am

Anniebrook

I came back in because I thought of another word while I was in another room (I am NOT addicted). I would not be happy if my daughter was taking her clothes off for pay or no pay.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Bye Mom

9:05 am

ChampFit

Yes, have to go get ready for church. BBL...have fun all!

9:05 am

Mom

bye bye Scrabbler

9:05 am

Yes, bichon, over time I have learned to say less + less.

9:05 am

i just started indexing - doing registration cards for men born 1877-1897... and every card i've had so far has something on it that's not on the authorized name list.. sigh

9:42 am

welki

I'm thinking that if a man was born in 1877, that makes him 133 years old ... Pretty much old enough to register for whatever he wants :)

9:42 am

m9f9l

LOL. funny welki

9:43 am

welki

some kind of reverse census, m?

9:45 am

m9f9l

no.. I'm indexing for Family Search.

9:46 am

m9f9l

so I download original images.. and then transcribe to a form.. so the info is searchable online.

9:47 am

welki

Sounds interesting. Hobby?

9:48 am

m9f9l

yes and service at same time.LOL

9:48 am

m9f9l

this online way is new to me. when I was doing it before, I was given all the info on disk

9:49 am

m9f9l

I was doing the 18 something census for county um... I don't remember. somewhere in Ireland.

9:49 am

m9f9l

but just now I downloaded the one it went to .. apparently it goes to the high priority ones first. may have bitten more than i can chew.. it's in spanish.LOL

9:50 am

welki

Ay carumba!

9:51 am

m9f9l

oohhh.. this census is supposed to have one name per line...

9:51 am

m9f9l

but the census taker wrote couples I think on one line...

9:52 am

m9f9l

wouldn't you think that "aulet y nasario Gumercindo" is a couple??

9:52 am

welki

Being that this was done over 100 years ago, I don't suppose you can report them ton their supervisors

9:53 am

welki

Yes, sounds like a couple

9:53 am

m9f9l

I'll let someone else handle that!LOL

9:54 am

m9f9l

I'll write a note to the indexing super though~!

9:55 am

m9f9l

I'll put the Aulet y Nasario in the given name field and the Gumercindo in the family name field...

9:56 am

welki

Hate to say it, but perhaps women weren't counted and maybe just included in husband's reporting

9:56 am

m9f9l

no... looking further.. that's one person. the head of household. because the next one is his esposa

9:56 am

m9f9l

yikes.. what's the y about??

9:57 am

JBV

hi mf - gumersindo was my husband's father's name -= it's a first name - aulet y nasario could be the last name, spanish style (father and mother's last names)

9:57 am

JBV

Like Ortega y Gasset (one person)

9:58 am

welki

Jbv to the rescue!

9:58 am

JBV

Aulet was his father's last name, nasario was his mother's last name

9:59 am

m9f9l

that's where i was going in my thinking! cool

9:59 am

JBV

sounds very interesting, m9

10:00 am

m9f9l

the wife's name is reaLLY long!

10:00 am

May i please have a clue for the single i in the middle column?

10:00 am

JBV

yes, it's a common cliche, used for laughs in old movies, I'm sure you've seen it Maria Teresa Rosita Fernandez de Rosario Camacho etc etc

10:01 am

poodletoes

M9 "Y" is "and" in spanish

10:01 am

m9f9l

10:21 am

westford

and do you know what all the letters stand for? I can make out some of them

10:26 am

m9f9l

nope. black, chinese, filipeno, Hindu, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Mulotto, other, and white I figure.. but fmc and fwc.. I don't know..

10:26 am

m9f9l

maybe that's the puerto ricans??

10:27 am

westford

probably not they'd be white or hispanic

10:28 am

m9f9l

googling it means: free man of color and free woman of color..

10:28 am

westford

so no native americans or aborigines?

10:28 am

westford

ah makes sense

10:30 am

m9f9l

in puerto rico?? in 1920.. they prob were other.

10:30 am

yes west they are both there.

10:39 am

westford

and neither one counts

10:39 am

m9f9l

looking at how these names are entered, it appears they're calling the peurto ricans either black or mulatto

10:40 am

m9f9l

ok.. this time it IS a boy.. for sure.. named Rosa??

10:40 am

m9f9l

do you think they just didn't finish writing rosario??

10:41 am

11:59 am

CiociaJudy

bye West; hi Crossy!

11:59 am

flosey

enjoy west

12:00 pm

Nancy Boy

it's alright, common sense should have told me that! the best I've been doing is dashing outside in the middle of the night when it's pelting it down with rain...then sleeping like that, on top of the sheets. This has been the closest I've ever come to shaving my hair off, just to beat the heat...

12:00 pm

crosshair

and if you place a tray of ice behind a standard fan,you have hillbilly air conditioning;0

12:02 pm

m9f9l

if you sleep under wet cloth with fan on you... increasing your evaporation rate.. that really is nice

12:02 pm

Nancy Boy

lol Crossy...unfortunately for me, this is not a sensible country. all the fans here come with timers and they click off after 30 mins. It's like having a fan made things TOO bearable.

12:02 pm

cybernan

stats for the o, please?

12:03 pm

12:07 pm

12:07 pm

12:07 pm

12:08 pm

pugmama763

me too DC it happens often

12:08 pm

CiociaJudy

I slept like a log last nite; tiring day

12:09 pm

CiociaJudy

Did not appreciate the need to go to the bathroom at 5 a.m.!

12:09 pm

dcseain

i barely slept fri/sat, went to ball game, then dinner, got in at 1:30, popped awake at 9.

12:09 pm

pugmama763

welcome to my world Judy that is every night

12:10 pm

crosshair

i never sleep a full night anymore,my life is a series of cat naps with work and babble squeezed in somehow

12:10 pm

Nancy Boy

Ugh, me too, Seain. Normally I can sleep like it's going out of fashion, but recently I've been wondering just what energy reserves I'm running on!

12:10 pm

CiociaJudy

Oh, Pug! Thankfully, I haven't gotten there yet.

12:11 pm

pugmama763

it sucks big time!

12:11 pm

dcseain

NB, the stress, the pent up fear of making the trip, and such is your energy source, NB.

12:11 pm

dcseain

Getting back to England will do you a world of good :) Though i'm glad you made the journey, despite everything.

12:11 pm

pugmama763

I've seriously considered looking into surgery to put everything back in place like pre-child birth days

12:12 pm

m9f9l

I was looking at your profile pic judy.

12:12 pm

CiociaJudy

My sister did that Pug. She's glad she did!

12:12 pm

dcseain

no profile pic appears when i click on judy's profile, but i see it in the chog

12:12 pm

m9f9l

I was chatting with George the other night and next thing I know it's 4:30 in the morning and Tim is waking up to get ready for work!LOL

12:12 pm

CiociaJudy

aha, M9 That's my one sister with me.

12:13 pm

m9f9l

if you wait ... and wait... it will show seain

12:13 pm

pugmama763

It is getting to the unbearable point for me so good to know somebody was happy with the results!

12:13 pm

cybernan

14 k's

12:13 pm

Nancy Boy

You might be right...well, you probably are right. But yes - I'm glad I came here, too :) if only for my four cousins. the group of blood relatives who admit I'm alive has expanded a tiny bit ;)

12:13 pm

dcseain

noted, m9, i opened it and will let it sit for a bit

12:14 pm

dcseain

i'm glad that there has been some degree of resolution and acknowledgement from people other than the 4 cousins :)

12:14 pm

m9f9l

someone has instructions in their profile on how to shrink a pic... can't rememer who

12:14 pm

pugmama763

MET !!!! COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE!!!

12:15 pm

dcseain

jillibus has the instructions on shrinking

12:15 pm

Nancy Boy

haha, M9! Isn't he so funny? When I was introduced to him, that hit me first about him - so funny and friendly!

12:15 pm

m9f9l

yes. he's so serious on the chog usually..

12:15 pm

m9f9l

and his food looks SO good!

12:16 pm

dcseain

12:16 pm

flosey

12:16 pm

Nancy Boy

12:17 pm

m9f9l

12:20 pm

CiociaJudy

12:20 pm

CiociaJudy

Sorry M9!

12:20 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh no, sorry, let me clarify - my sister (along with my parents) lives in England. So we're able to keep in touch and even see each other sometimes, as long as mum and dad don't find out.

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

hello Judy!!! haven't seen you lately.

12:20 pm

pugmama763

how long did it take your sister to feel "herself " again post surgery?

12:21 pm

m9f9l

ah.. ok! i get it now.. i was wondering how you got to England..LOL

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

hi NB! Great food, I'll bet!

12:21 pm

m9f9l

no prob Judy.. love to hear it all!

12:21 pm

CiociaJudy

The recuperation was about 2 to 3 weeks I think, Pug. I will get more info and let you know.

12:22 pm

CiociaJudy

Ruby, I do the grid daily but sometimes don't have time to chat.

12:22 pm

dcseain

i had to open the profile in Firefox to see it; Chrome wouldn't open it.

12:22 pm

CiociaJudy

And my sister's surgery turned out to be more extensive then the doc originally thought.

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

aha!

12:22 pm

pugmama763

thanks dear I appreciate it as I've truly given it much serious thought lately

12:22 pm

cybernan

12:23 pm

mcurlschool

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

any clues for the 8's and the 9?

12:23 pm

dcseain

12:23 pm

pugmama763

12:23 pm

pugmama763

etc

12:24 pm

mcurlschool

hysterectomy?

12:24 pm

flosey

yup, he's a keeper - 49 years now!

12:24 pm

pugmama763

12:24 pm

cybernan

re 9: stir up again

12:24 pm

mcurlschool

oh I see;

12:24 pm

pugmama763

it sucks having to pee all the time

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

ty flosey, got the 9 and 1 8, putting monkeys to work on the other 8's

12:25 pm

pugmama763

& I'm too young to contemplate ending up in "depends" some day

12:25 pm

Nancy Boy

I'd like to think I'd have found my way to England anyway, though. Maybe being away makes me sentimental, but London is my favourite place in the world.

12:25 pm

mcurlschool

my mom had bladder lift many years ago and glad she did; having some other related problems now that stem from that surgery though

12:26 pm

pugmama763

like what?

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

nice 8 for the fabrics, ty nan,

12:26 pm

dcseain

ah, i see NB :)

12:26 pm

yw

12:27 pm

mcurlschool

scar tissue has caused some beginning of rectal muscle prolapse and protrusion. She had to go to, believe it or not; physical therapy to learn exercises to strengthen those muscles

12:27 pm

pugmama763

UGH ! how horrid for her !

12:28 pm

m9f9l

ok... I need to go be mommy now..

12:28 pm

m9f9l

bye all! hugs {{{nb}}}} have a safe trip!!

12:28 pm

CiociaJudy

so how do I resize this damn photo?

12:28 pm

pugmama763

I guess not everyone catches that "brass ring" & still think it might be worth the gamble forme

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

nite, m9!

12:28 pm

CiociaJudy

bye m9

12:28 pm

Nancy Boy

(((M9))) thank you :)

12:29 pm

mcurlschool

it was just kind of weird sounding....they said as long as she does the exercises it shouldn't get much worse but not much they can do for the protrusion so she takes care of it when it happens....I know gross sounding but you do what you have to do!

12:29 pm

pugmama763

started after the 1st baby--got worse after the 2nd + now age is taking its toll

12:29 pm

cybernan

de 7, please?

12:30 pm

pugmama763

I just know I hate it very much

12:30 pm

Nancy Boy

maybe you could look into physio first, Pug? Errr, though it's far from my area of expertise.

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

don't have it, nan, sorry

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

my best word is me6/21 Fr profession

12:30 pm

pugmama763

kegels are crap dear--never did squat for me

12:30 pm

mcurlschool

it's worth checking in to for your own peace of mind; you may or may not be a candidate but you have to check to find out.

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

so to speak

12:31 pm

pugmama763

fine for stretched muscles but not enough for fallen bladder

12:32 pm

Nancy Boy

deciding not to ask what a kegel might or might not be. noticing all the other men have vanished from the chat ;)

12:32 pm

pugmama763

but then again Nancy--you've quite different equipment....

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

12:35 pm

Yes, nan gave me that word, too. I'm not even halfway thru yet.

12:35 pm

CiociaJudy

CiociaJudy

12:35 pm

Hi, Hydra!! Just a few more hours - then I get to go home :)

I should go do something useful as well....

12:36 pm

Is there a 'three strikes (or rather bites) and you're out' rule in france? Or are dogs never put down for anything?

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

scratching peri's ears to calmher down.....

12:36 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks, Judy! :) take good care

12:36 pm

hydra

Are you flying back today, NB?

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

evidently he is behaving while in custody, but he is certainly a danger to the village. If he'd gotten a child the way he attacked my husband, it would have died

12:37 pm

pugmama763

if Met comes out of lurk mode please tell him I asked after him ?

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

we're talking about 100 lbs of muscle, teeth and nastiness!

12:37 pm

hydra

That's terrible, ruby. Has he been neutered? The dog, not your husband!!!

12:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh yeah - it's already Monday here, about 2:30 in the morning, so I'll be leaving to go to the airport in an hour. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I came, but this nightmare is -finally- almost over!

12:37 pm

periwinkle

hi NB, have not seen you since you landed in Korea, how are you?

12:38 pm

cybernan

they haven't put that dog down? --- that's a crime! It would have been automatic here.

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

BON VOYAGE, NB!

12:38 pm

pugmama763

take care my lovelies --Poof !

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

I know; it's making us crazy!

12:38 pm

periwinkle

safe trip NB

12:38 pm

hydra

Yes, safe trip. Talk to you soon.

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know whether he's been neutered, but I don't think he was making THAT kind of advances to husband LOL

12:39 pm

hydra

Sorry, I'm holding two conversations at the same time. I feel so sorry for your husband, ruby. Id be terrified of going that way again, where I might encounter the devil dog.

12:40 pm

cybernan

how old is the dog ruby -- a case of grumpier old dog?

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

scary-looking breed, like everybody's worst nightmare

12:40 pm

hydra

Ha ha! I only asked because that often calms dogs down. My friend has just had her male dog done.

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

he is actually back to his same route again and the dog will probably be returned home this week

12:40 pm

bichon

Are we discussing menopause. I'm done with that. My daughter calls it metrophase

12:40 pm

Nancy Boy

thank you all :) and Peri...now that I'm leaving, I'm pretty good, thank you! it has been a tough ten days, but now they are over.

12:41 pm

bichon

Nancy Boy, what was so bad about Korea?

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

the owners adopted him from a shelter 2 1/2 years ago but we don't know how old he is. I don't think old, though

12:41 pm

my internet connection is going crazy, so haven't been able to chat - stopping in to say hi to ruby, hi to NB, hi to everybody, good wishes to all, hope I can stay connected this time

12:41 pm

You'll be able to put it into perspective once you're back, I hope, NB.

12:41 pm

Good Enough

haven't made it to the formal exercise yet though.

4:04 pm

Jellen

I have a pedometer somewhere...

4:06 pm

Good Enough

it does make me move more. i make a point at work to get up and make a trip around the building a few times a day.

4:07 pm

Pinikula

now, that's something I should do more of, GE...would lessen the tension/frustration of the dorks that come to my office! :)

4:08 pm

Good Enough

lol. it would do double duty - exercise and avoidance!

4:09 pm

Pinikula

well, I'm down to 45 to go and should really get Koda out and about for a bit...(speaking of walking)...will be back after a leisurely walk ;)

4:09 pm

River -- that's a great picture in your icon. It could be even better if you could crop it square so that it's not squished. If you scroll down through my bio you'll see a link for how to do it easily. You can also use Paint if you have Windows.

5:50 pm

Riverdance

sad to say I used that link to crop it small so it didnt bring down the chog - am working on learning that stuff - so loved your pix jilli - and so wished I could have joined you - looked like a great time - loved the babble grid cake

Minveryork

Congratulations stidmama on fireworks! Good for you

9:31 pm

*considers Min's response* do you think it would be reasonable to keep a pair of (new, nice) sneakers in the classroom to change into if my feet start to hurt?

I de 4/5 it necessary to do a story of clues so here it is. The Babble de7/32 answered my prayers and gave me FWs, although I had to fi 4/7 monkeys once again because they were du 5/16s and could not fi 4/8 any words. It ir4/4 me when my monkeys are so unhelpful and I se 6/21 w/anger. They didn't earn any me 4/6s today. I also did not have a lot of fr 4/7 ti 4/5 today so I fr 4/7ed I would not finish grid today. I was very exci5/14 when I finally got my FWs. Anyway, I spent the weekend in Vt to see my parents. I love going to th 5/12 house. I visit th4/5 every summer. I had a ni 4/5 visit there.I did a lot of things there. On Friday, I was a hi5/20 and went on a hi 4/9 with ten other hi 6/33. Actually, I went on many hi 5/20 this weekend. On Friday night I ate fried ri 4/5 for dinner. Then on Saturday, I went swimming in a pool.I wasn't going to go swimming, but then I did not give a di4/5 who saw my fat arse in a suit. Didn't swim long because it was in6/27 with too many little children. When I got back from pool,I flew a ki4/8 with my nephew.I also got to me 4/5 my new baby nephew for the fi5/16 ti4/5. He was a bit ti 5/14 because he'd never seen me before. He tr5/10 to pull out my earrings when I hold him. On Saturday night we celebrated my Dad's b-day. I gave him a beer st5/10 for his birthday.Today,I helped my dad set up mi4/6 traps. I also went to a st 5/10 fair. When I got back I ti 6/24 up the house with my Mom. Then I picked apples off my parents' apple tr4/4 with my niece. It didn't cost me a di 4/6 to goto Vermont. My sister drove and I didn't buy anything when I was there. I traveled through many ci 6/21 today coming back from Vermont. I had McDonald's french fr 5/16 for lunch on the way back. My sister warned me that fr5/16 was not enough for lunch and that I would get hungry later, but I did not he4/6 her warning.She on the other hand was a he 6/20 and ate 2 happy meals. Now I'm going to get onto my fe4/7 and spend the re 4/4 of the night with my dog. Goodnite to all babblers

9:39 pm

featherbee

i never do heels stid!

9:40 pm

featherbee

i wear flats, and they HAVE to be comfortable

9:44 pm

stidmama

ah, that is a grand idea, feather! BUT. at only "almost" 5'4... in middle school I need the advantage of the 1.5 inch heels. It's not actually the heels that bother me, it's the pointy toes! And those are on most shoes these days.

9:44 pm

stidmama

except sneakers...

9:45 pm

stidmama

((feather)) hello, btw

9:45 pm

stidmama

when does school start for you?

9:52 pm

mcurlschool

I know; I'm the one that misses to kids and can't wait for school to start!

9:52 pm

stidmama

how does your copy room look now? clean carpet, etc?

9:52 pm

Nef

Stid, NEVER wear a pair of shoes that aren't comfortable on the first time you try th** on! Buy your shoes after being on your feet all day; and if they feel good right at the start, they will always feel good

9:52 pm

mcurlschool

yes clean carpet and most everything back in its place....am I still swamped? YOU BET!

9:53 pm

stidmama

I spent four hours this afternoon trying to organize the things I am taking with me on Tuesday... still no clue what I am doing, of course, but confidence in my mentor teacher so not completely petrified.

9:54 pm

mcurlschool

that's the way it should be--that is confident in you mentor and if you weren't petrified i might be worried

9:54 pm

Nef

And besides, stid; you don't have to be taller than the kids, you just have to think you are. My 8th grade teacher, Mrs. D, was barely 4 1/2 fe** tall and she was a giant to all of us!

9:55 pm

stidmama

I "should" be spending some time tonight creating a sort of annotated bibliography about the sorts of things I intend to teach.

9:56 pm

Riverdance

ugh - just volunteered last minute to host my book group this week - one of our members has a sick family member and couldnt do it - yikes - what did I do.....

9:56 pm

stidmama

That's true, Nef. Thing is, I used to be a dancer, so my feet are generally more comfortable either completely bare or in heels. "Flats" with solid soles aren't my thing.

9:56 pm

stidmama

hm river, and you were talking to tea earlier about volunteering to coach???

9:57 pm

featherbee

whoops, got distracted by bright shinies elsewhere. scrolling back....

9:57 pm

10:03 pm

Jellen

And my brain's just not into this...think I'll read...

10:03 pm

stidmama

LOL all of us being "responsible" again. Oh well... at least the benefits are good?

10:03 pm

stidmama

(((Jellen))) glad to see you. Hope to see you some tomorrow, too!

evening all...here for my last 12

10:21 pm

Pinikula

10:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

babylonia does not have zip codes. it's like ireland. LOL

10:22 pm

gremlinn

Oh no! I've just been informed that Babylon has been sacked by the Hittite king Mursilis I.

10:22 pm

Pinikula

* blink * what, grem?

10:22 pm

gremlinn

3500 years ago, in fact.

10:23 pm

The zip code thing may further complicate matters.

hi Pini. It was big enough that the whole bed needed changing. WHY do dogs and cats eat grass? I thought it was to settle th*** stomachs, but each ti** our cat or dog eats it, they puke.

10:25 pm

Pinikula

(brb - before he makes a mess)

10:26 pm

Pinikula

I know the feeling, nef...not sure why either...they just seem think they need "fiber" or something!

10:26 pm

Pinikula

BRB

10:26 pm

Nef

Any clues for that bottom O for NBT, please?

10:26 pm

gremlinn

No need. Apparently, Mursili I was assassinated in a conspiracy led by his own brother-in-law. But this may complicated things further.

10:27 pm

gremlinn

10:27 pm

Uneaixoise

i have a dog that does that too, nef -- then she throws up phlegm and grass, and then it's over . . . sheesh

oh4 crying out loud, you might even say.

10:28 pm

Nef

DUH! Thanks Gremlin! 75 words down and I couldn't see that at all!

10:28 pm

gremlinn

it's one of those words that doesn't look like a word

10:37 pm

Pinikula

oh, I wish, grem!

11:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

re + opposite of lose (as in lost and f****)

11:11 pm

gortmold

my kid goes to school with a kid called "Destiny"

11:12 pm

gortmold

so when Phil Collins croons "when destiny calls, you must respond" my kid snaps to attention

11:12 pm

gapeach

OMG, thanks, Book.

11:12 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, gortmold, even boys' names are girls' names these days, can't tell gender from a name anymore!

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

My friends baby is called Raspberry which is the Polish to English translation. But she is soooooo cute

11:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

names tend to go from boy to girl, not the other way. this is due to culture valuing boys more than girls

11:13 pm

gortmold

kid born in my town here recently called (not nicknamed, but called) "cricket"

11:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

and boys not wanting 'girly' names, yeah

11:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

naming the baby cricket is still better than naming the baby with the exact name name as his dad

11:13 pm

gortmold

honestly, who holds up their dear little newborn girl and says, "That's a Cricket, that one!"?

11:13 pm

gapeach

Is "Blanket" really M. Jackson's sons name?

11:14 pm

herinfernallady

GA he could have a European name that is translated to Blanket in English

11:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

your Terry or your Robin could be a boy or a girl. names that switched a generation ago or more: Shirley, Beverly, Meredith

11:14 pm

gortmold

u could be right doctor, or it could be because one to many Leslies have been bashed for it

11:14 pm

gapeach

Oh, yes, thanks, herin.

11:15 pm

jillibus

Hilary, Vivien...

11:15 pm

herinfernallady

Or maybe he is weird and just called the kid Blanket.

11:15 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for nu8-50? Thanks

11:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i understand that Gwen used to be a man's name, too

11:15 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo, Jill!

11:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nu8 builds off the nu4. adjective *and* plural

11:16 pm

jillibus

11:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:16 pm

jillibus

Hi all!.

herinfernallady

Hi jill

11:17 pm

Nef

11:17 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

11:17 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo, Nef!

11:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

my gym teacher, one year, never even tried to pronounce my name. roll call was like: William! Karen! John! (long pause) Foss!

11:17 pm

herinfernallady

Dang this is a hard grid

11:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:18 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

??

11:19 pm

jillibus

They had never heard the name Gillian back then and thought it had a hard G. That's why I changed to Jill.

11:19 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hello to you too, Jill

11:20 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

and that's odd, the name's been popular here for a long time, even probably before then!?

11:20 pm

jillibus

halo george ;)

11:21 pm

jillibus

(Half an eye on PBS Inspector Lewis...)

11:21 pm

Pinikula

11:24 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, it's back just before the 2 in Tel Aviv

11:24 pm

jillibus

Gillian was quite common among Brits long ago, obviusly, considering my age and that of one of my pals from school, another Gillian. Her last name was Oliver and mine was Murray, so our parents called her Gillio and me Gillium. And we still call each other those names :)

11:25 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I shot the first of the 2 in Tel Aviv, had to show the view off my balcony, ha!

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

Excuse me does any one know if there is both UN words

11:25 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Pinikula

11:28 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Pini's referring to some video clips I put in blogs, ones I shot and a m8 of mine shot of me -- you'll see 'em!

11:28 pm

jillibus

11:28 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

11:28 pm

jillibus

11:28 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I said I put them in blogs!

11:29 pm

jillibus

ok -- can't keep up with all these things!

11:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

pretty easy, go to my page, click the blog button on the left, takes you right in there -- the headings then are on the right, click the one 'Tel Aviv'

11:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

and before that, the one about the voting! that was shot in my house, before we left--shameless, eh? lol!

11:31 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

11:31 pm

11:37 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

11:38 pm

herinfernallady

I have not got an attitude.

11:39 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well show me one supermarket that ain't in some way, but folk have to eat

11:39 pm

herinfernallady

Opps. Pardon my bad Gramma. I think she disappeared up High Street.

11:41 pm

Pinikula

geo, are you done with the grid?

11:41 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well yeah, seems you do, and why are you suddenly take this tone when you don't know me, I don't know you and I've not said anything to you? odd, that! you don't know sh*t about me and where am I going on about the enviroment? just mind your own, why don't ya??

11:42 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, Pini, but since I'm not asleep yet thought I'd have a look at the flip, though not gonna do it now!

11:43 pm

gremlinn

hey George, does your name appear strange when you view your profile? It does on my end.

11:43 pm

gremlinn

It looks like "GÃÂµÃÂ¾ÃÂ³gÃÂµ's Profile"

11:44 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, gremliin, that's coz I couldn't get just my first name when I joined, so I used those special look alike letter characters in the Arial font, to do it!

11:44 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

in the windows character map, like

11:44 pm

gremlinn

Oh, clever, heh.

11:44 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well, it was only way to do it, ha!

11:45 pm

Pinikula

I hadn't noticed that before, geo...kinda cool! :)

11:45 pm

herinfernallady

What is the 9 please

11:46 pm

gremlinn

I had seen it when viewing the chat logs and I wondered who it really was, but it always looks fine in live chat.

11:46 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, well it's only me, ha!

11:46 pm

gremlinn

re9, a re- plus an in7

11:46 pm

gremlinn

pt of re8

11:46 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

it shows up normal in most places, dunno why not in the bio page??

11:47 pm

herinfernallady

and sorry I didn't mean to have an attitude or be offensive

11:47 pm

gremlinn

Probably the character encoding is set differently there.

11:47 pm

Pinikula

Geo...it's probably 'cuz you're "special"!!! LOL

11:47 pm

herinfernallady

I have a habit of changing feet to put in my mouth or going the double speical

11:47 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks Gremlin

11:49 pm

Pinikula

haaaaaachoooooo!

11:49 pm

Pinikula

('scuse me, pardon me...off to get tissue)

11:49 pm

gremlinn

Or is it just the font? I dunno.

11:50 pm

jillibus

New icon posted -- theme is Tennis -- US Open opening day...

11:51 pm

jillibus

11:51 pm

gremlinn

11:52 pm

gremlinn

11:52 pm

Pinikula

thanks for being "realistic", grem...I won't have to thump you this evening! * grin *

11:52 pm

gremlinn

Hmm, that looks more like an S.

11:52 pm

Pinikula

hey...no swearing, grem...it's not nice!! LOL

11:52 pm

jillibus

cool, grem!

11:53 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

what funny looking things, Jill? the letters of my name look normal most places -- just not in the bio page, yet everywhere else they do, it's odd!

11:53 pm

gremlinn

á´³á´¿á´±á´¹á´¸á´µá´ºá´º

11:53 pm

jillibus

no symbol for R in that font, eh?

11:53 pm

gremlinn

á´¶á´µá´¸á´¸á´µá´®áµáµ´

11:53 pm

gremlinn

In which one?

11:53 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no, some letters there's no special lookalike character for, only some of them

11:54 pm

jillibus

you know what I mean, george -- the way it look sin you bio but not here.

11:54 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

how did you do that, gremlinn??

11:54 pm

Pinikula

* raising hand * do mine! :)

11:54 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

do what, Pini?

11:54 pm

Christine

Is there any news on shdy?

11:54 pm

gremlinn

I opened up the character map table and copied some characters.

11:54 pm

Pinikula

grem, do my name! :)

11:54 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well I didn't want it to look all garbled like that in my bio, Jill! ha, ha!!

11:54 pm

gremlinn

á´¾á´µá´ºá´µá´·áµá´¸á´¬

11:54 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I was hoping it would look normal, but wasn't to be!

11:54 pm

Pinikula

oooooh, itty bitty

11:54 pm

jillibus

do pini's name with Character Map, I assume

11:55 pm

jillibus

well, it's interesting, george.

11:55 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :)

11:55 pm

jillibus

Hi nan!

11:55 pm

gremlinn

The region I'm selecting from is "Modifier Letter Capital"

11:55 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

someone just wrote in a blog about how I have a 'fake accent', Jill -- shaking my head, lol! guess the mastermind who wrote it doesn't realise I'm english? laughing!!

11:55 pm

Pinikula

hi nan

11:56 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo, nan!

11:56 pm

gremlinn

á´¬á´á´®á´¯á´°á´±á´²á´³á´´á´µá´¶á´·á´
¸á´¹á´ºá´»á´¼á´½á´¾á´¿áµ€áµáµ‚ is the whole sequence - missing a lot of them, lucky I could do my whole name and Pini's.

11:57 pm

gremlinn

And apparently it doesn't show the L correctly (at least for me).

11:57 pm

jillibus

Maybe he/she is talking about when you sing, George.

11:57 pm

gremlinn

That's odd - it did earlier.

11:57 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

don't hear any then, Jill

11:58 pm

gremlinn

â„–!

11:58 pm
