3:13 am
westford

3:13 am

3:14 am
westford

westford
I just noticed there are 17 v's and I have 2
3:19 am
westford
now I have 4
3:19 am
rubyfoo
I am waiting for the repairman, hoping it's a simple fix and that I don't have to buy a new one. He'll be here any time between 10AM and 5PM! Nothing like a day killed waiting!
3:19 am
joshuavorbis
i have 11. i'm having issues with the L
3:19 am
joshuavorbis

3:20 am

ruby don't be surprised if he calls at 5:30 to say he can't make it
3:20 am
joshuavorbis
yeah, got those.
3:20 am
rubyfoo
it's OK, I'll just sit here and drown in laundry!
3:21 am
rubyfoo
no, actually, they're pretty good here about Saturday appts: doctor, nurse, etc.
3:21 am
westford
might just be a kink in the hose
3:21 am
rubyfoo
it has something to do with the door which has stopped making a connection when it's cl***d
3:22 am
rubyfoo
or a kink in the repairman
3:22 am
westford
that would be interesting if he's cute
3:23 am
westford
josh there are some soil ones
3:23 am
rubyfoo
hah, repairman just called to say he's coming at 2:30. Very nice
3:24 am
westford
that is nice
3:25 am
westford
hope it doesn't co4 an arm and a leg
3:26 am
rubyfoo
for 1/2 hr, just for coming, it's 64 euros. Hopefully, if he fixes it (parts extra), we'll get a little more time out of the machine.
3:27 am
rubyfoo
I do wash every day, so it's had a lot of use.
3:27 am
westford
once I called the dryer repairman he came from one street over and charged $25 to tell me it wasn't plugged in
3:28 am
rubyfoo
that's awful
3:28 am
joshuavorbis
i called a repairman to come over to look at my water heater and paid him 80 bucks to find out i needed to flip the breaker
3:28 am
westford
that was about 30 years ago.. and it wasn't my fault husband unplugged it to use a power tool
3:28 am
westford
thanks ruby lol
3:28 am
rubyfoo
oooh, sorry, is there coffee in the PB?

3:29 am
westford
we're back home now after 4 months in Maine
3:29 am

I think that, overall, the repairmen and workers here are pretty fair
3:29 am
rubyfoo
was Maine wonderful?
3:30 am
westford
it was.. got a little too hot some days but otherwise it was heaven
3:30 am
joshuavorbis

3:31 am
westford
the water could be a little bit warmer
3:31 am
westford
but the lobsters ...
3:31 am
rubyfoo

3:32 am
westford
we had lots of company and it wouldn't be right not to have lobster
3:32 am
westford
and my husband doesn't even like it
3:32 am
rubyfoo
with sweet corn?
3:32 am
westford
yes and steamers
3:33 am
joshuavorbis

3:34 am
westford
you must have a longer growing season
3:34 am
westford
oh no ruby
3:34 am
joshuavorbis
our growing season is a bit longer for a lot of things
3:34 am
rubyfoo
my parents used to have a house on LI near to Greenport and we would go to the dock, buy lobsters, and pick up sweet corn from a farm on the way back
3:35 am
westford
that's living isn't it?
3:35 am
westford

silversarah
Hello, if there is anyone there. I have a question. I'm using Babble Expert and I'm getting adverts of Vanish oxy action. I've never noticed that beore
5:26 am
silversarah
before
5:27 am
silversarah
or has my computer gone mad
5:30 am
lynxxx
Hi Sarah, just checked on my Expert, no ads here. Are you sure it is on Lickety clue list..you don't have one of the Resources screen open in it - some of them have ads
5:30 am
Sally-catlover
Hi silversarah, if you"re still there. I use Firefox and have all ads blocked.
5:30 am
silversarah
no, I haven't got anything else open
5:31 am
silversarah
and its a sound ad
5:32 am
lynxxx
Is it on the Babble screen or the Clue screen in Expert Sarah?
5:32 am
silversarah
found it
5:32 am
lizmac
I had that yesterday, Silver. A bit weird isn't it.
5:32 am
silversarah
at the bottom of the a-z word list
5:32 am
silversarah
and yes - made me jump
5:33 am
lynxxx
So it is one one of the Resources screen then. Quite a few of them have advertising space. Expert doesn't have and ads yet though
5:35 am
silversarah
yes it was, but strange that I hadnt noticed it before as I'm always looking at those lists
5:35 am
lizmac
Now you are assured that you're not hearing voices you can turn the sound off and get on with the grid, Silver!
5:36 am
lynxxx
The more 'hits' those sites get, the more likely they are to get advertising. You must be using it too much!
5:37 am
silversarah
I'm very relieved... and happy to know that if I am hearing voices they aren;t talking about stain removal
5:37 am
silversarah
and yes -I'm using it far too much
5:42 am
silversarah
thanks for the help - housework calls ...bye
5:43 am

bye Sarah, we'll keep your seat warm

good afternoon Sprite
6:45 am
rubyfoo
washingmachine repairman is here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it can be fixed!
6:46 am
rubyfoo
hello, too
6:46 am
sprite
hello rubyfoo
6:46 am
rubyfoo
the studio is near the laundry lroom
6:46 am
sprite
I hope you are in luck.
6:47 am
rubyfoo
it would not be a great time to have to buy a new machine!
6:47 am
sprite
it never is
6:47 am
rubyfoo
true true
6:48 am
rubyfoo
It is amazing how fast the laundry accumulates, considering that I do at least one load a day and there are only two of us!
6:48 am
sprite
my grandparents were always so wise with money. They always had some spare for emergencies like this. I still don't know how they did it.
6:49 am
rubyfoo
a friend took home a load of "smalls" to help carry us through which I thought was exceptionally nice of her
6:49 am
sprite
yes that is very nice. I am always so grateful for a working washing machine.
6:50 am
donnab3012
I do at least four loads per day, theres four of us here.
6:50 am
rubyfoo
that makes me feel less crazy, thank you
6:50 am
donnab3012
school uniforms, PE nad football kits, my husbands bakers whites...its never ending
6:50 am
sprite
wow donna, that is a LOT! We are 4 here, and my husband has work clothes too, and we sport. I do one load a day.
6:51 am
rubyfoo
one could manage without a dishwasher or a clothes' dryer, but the washing machine is indispensible
6:51 am
donnab3012
I agree Ruby
6:52 am
sprite
I hardly use my clothes drier. I love my dishwasher but I could do without. But the washing machine is the machine I value most. Even more than I love my 'puter.
6:52 am
rubyfoo
washing dishes for two is no big deal; I just think they're cleaner using the machine. it is too hard to hang up clothes for me
6:53 am
rubyfoo
as for ironing -- NOT!
6:53 am
rubyfoo
and if you get stuff right out of the dryer, very little ironing is needed anyway
6:53 am
sprite
I don't iron either. My family knows: either buy clothes that don't need it or do it yourself. I cannot stand for long, so they are on their own.
6:54 am
rubyfoo
exactly the same problem
6:54 am
sprite
when I hang up the laundry, I always pull it straight. It is amazing how neat it can be without ironing.
6:54 am
rubyfoo
and, fortunately, since we don't dress up here, most clothes don't need it anyway
6:55 am
sprite
am gonna fold laundry tonight... am way behind with that. Another backbreaking task.
6:56 am
rubyfoo
the repairman's fixing sounds like mostly slamming and re-slamming the door -- I had better take a xanax!
6:56 am
rubyfoo
and Miss Ruby is growling and pacing to make sure he doesn't come near me
6:56 am
sprite
or put both feet on the floor, breathe deeply and try to find your inner power... am doing that a lot lately, lol
6:57 am

10:25 am
Aloyisius
well, were you an "easy" baby, Scrabbs?
10:26 am
Aloyisius
am feeling like a terrible mother bc my daughter wants to know what time she was born (so her friend can do an accurate horoscope).. and I can't tell her! Have to scrounge in the attic and hope the time was put on her birth announcement.
10:27 am
Aloyisius
But she was induced, so I had to ask her if "that counts" for a horoscope, lol
10:28 am
Aloyisius
she didn't know, said she had to check, lol

Scrabbler
Haha, Doren.
10:40 am
flosey
wow, Scrabbs, did she have back trouble after losing?
10:40 am
Aloyisius
hi Dorens!
10:40 am
Dorens
60's - 70's? (and weights too!)
10:41 am
varumba
depends on the density of t he bones i guess
10:41 am
Scrabbler
She has had chronic lower back pain since having 4 large babies.
10:41 am
Scrabbler
And she reminds us of it often
10:41 am
flosey
I hadn't noticed until i was in my early 60s, was standing with daughter and realized we were eye - eye!! and she's 5' 7"
10:41 am
Dorens
my mother has lost two inches... and she swears her doctor says she has the bones of a woman in her 20's. (a much shorter woman in her 20's)
10:41 am
rururocks
i have lower back pain.. but that is mostly caused by the IRS
10:42 am
varumba
oh ok..... so how does the doc explain loss of height?
10:42 am
Scrabbler
So true, Ruru, more like buttocks pain
10:42 am
Aloyisius
lol.. def a cause of pain!
10:42 am
rururocks
I used to be 6 feet tall.. but am shorter now..
10:43 am
Dorens
hi ru.
and varumba, you are asking for rational thinking from my mother??? I don't believe the doctor said that any time in the last dcade or two or three. just her vanity
10:43 am
rururocks
probably all that pounding on the tennis courts
10:43 am
varumba
LMAO ok dorens... i WAS wondering how she could have lost height without her bones crumbling!
10:44 am
rururocks
dorens your mother is like mrs cleaver next to mine
10:44 am
Dorens
that may be ru. back in the 50's they were hard to tell apart
10:45 am
Aloyisius
ooh, just found the re8 leg syndrome!
10:45 am
Dorens
ru you may use the familiar with me, and drop the s
10:45 am

10:47 am
Scrabbler
What's the underlying meaning, Doren? I was laughing at Krista seeing meaning
10:48 am
Dorens
i sure don't know. funny thing is, was talking about foxes with ata in our lexulous game on thursday... told her how i have rarely seen them in the wild but find them fascinating. and then this darling shows up on my patio, stops to pause and look in the glass door at me. fabulous

wow congrats!
3:17 pm
hurshy
last year, for our tenth, my husband took me to england (where i may remind you, i am not actually located now or most of the time). so this year i planned a surprise for him.
3:18 pm
Uneaixoise
yeah, knew it was virtual Angleterre :-)
3:18 pm
Uneaixoise
and the surprise was . . .
3:19 pm
hurshy
we went to a nice little b&b in one of those quaint new england towns, and i had made us dinner reservations at a nice place which was in walking distance. they gave us free champagne because it was our anniversary! then today we went on a 20's steam train that goes up a river while you dine. they gave us a free cake because it was our anniversary.
3:20 pm
hurshy
you can get a lot of free stuff on your anniversary.
3:20 pm
Uneaixoise
sounds totally charming and delightful!!
3:20 pm
hurshy
we played trivial pursuit on the porch, soaked in the jacuzzi tub, had great breakfast, at the b&b. enjoyed glenn miller and sinatra on the train.
3:21 pm
Uneaixoise
how perfect!!
3:21 pm
Minski
sounds nice. where did you go in nh? it sounds like a place near us in waterville valley
3:21 pm
Uneaixoise
hey, minksi :-)
3:22 pm

and then we had a lovely scenic drive home and we passed these adorable little girls with an apple cider stand in front of their house, so we bought some cider from them. they were so excited that i think they were going to forget to take our money.

3:27 pm

for some reason, when we were kids, one day, my sisters established a sunflower seed stand. where they got the seeds or why they thought people would buy them (on our very little travelled road), i don't know. but i do know that they each operated separately on their own half of the table, one selling the seeds for a penny a bag and one for a dollar a bag.
3:27 pm
dianedecoder
just scrolled... that sounded absolutely romantic hurshy !!
3:28 pm
Uneaixoise
how funny! I remember selling little bags of apple seeds in my neighborhood (from apples I'd eaten) LOL
3:28 pm
hurshy
we tried to point out to the dollar sister that it wasn't good business to charge so much more than the competition, but she felt that it meant that if she could convince just one person to buy from her, she'd come out ahead. which was probably true! i don't remember if anyone bought any or not though.
3:29 pm

3:35 pm
Minski
I am working my way up from the bottom alphabetically. I have the V, U, T all greyed out. Working on the S words now.
3:35 pm
hurshy
hahahaha i just tried something that i totally didn't think would work and it was right!
3:36 pm
Uneaixoise
impressive -- i just bounce all over the grid
3:36 pm
hurshy
i used to bounce, une, and then one day decided to try being orderly, and found that i actually did a lot better, which i didn't expect at all.
3:37 pm
Uneaixoise
hmmmm . . .
3:37 pm
Minski
I start out that way. Then when I can't find anymore bouncing and following hints alone and I go to the list I do it alphabetically from the bottom up.
3:37 pm
Uneaixoise
i also bounce around the list LOL
3:39 pm
Uneaixoise
good grief, down to 40 and just now saw the lo5 flower!
3:39 pm
Minski
and its plural
3:40 pm
Minski
thanks didn't have those either
3:40 pm
hurshy
(i do make exceptions to the tile order when there's a plural from a lower tile of the same letter, otherwise i would certainly forget to enter it later)
3:40 pm
Minski
97 left to find
3:40 pm
Minski
I still don't have the so6/27. has anyone found it yet?
3:41 pm
hurshy

3:41 pm
Uneaixoise

3:41 pm
hurshy
it might be lower S though.
3:43 pm
Uneaixoise

3:43 pm
hurshy

3:44 pm
Minski

3:44 pm
Uneaixoise

3:44 pm

Uneaixoise

3:49 pm
Jillyjill

3:52 pm
hurshy

3:52 pm
Uneaixoise

3:53 pm
Uneaixoise
hursh, you're insane! LOL
3:53 pm
hurshy

3:53 pm
Uneaixoise
Barbie's dream house?
3:54 pm
Uneaixoise
is it on the prairie
3:54 pm
hurshy
well, yes and no
3:55 pm
hurshy
it's on the dakota prairies, but not in the book titled "little house on the prairie" but rather in some of the later ones in the series.
3:55 pm
hurshy
little house on the prairie was in kansas.
3:55 pm
Uneaixoise
KIDDING!!
3:56 pm
Uneaixoise

4:00 pm
hurshy

4:00 pm
Uneaixoise

4:02 pm

4:02 pm
Uneaixoise
wow -- the holy trinity
4:03 pm
hurshy

hurshy

4:17 pm
Minski

4:17 pm
hurshy
the picture is a little old now but the redhead, despite the gender difference, is very very similar to how i looked at that age.
4:17 pm
ch1212
I'm diving back in. Just popped out when I saw the Henry VIII note. * poof *
4:17 pm
Jellen
Hi, lynxxx
4:18 pm
hurshy
i thought you saw that convo, minski... b&b, steam train...
4:19 pm
Minski
yes but you didn't mention where you went just somewhere in new england. it sounds like a place near where we go in nh.
4:19 pm
hurshy
no, connecticut.
4:19 pm
Minski
ah ha. nice places there. Old Mystic is nice.
4:21 pm
hurshy
it's a good state. sad that all a lot of people see or know of it is I-95!
4:25 pm
Minski
This is true, but that's about all I know of it. You drive through CT to get to NYC from MA
4:25 pm
hurshy
my point exactly.
4:30 pm
Minski
se9? I got the 5, 6, 8, 6 but am having issues with the 9.
4:31 pm
Minski
5 S words left!
4:31 pm
hurshy
there are at least 2 se8... the 9 is pl of one of them... ancient roman coin
4:31 pm
Minski
82 total to find though
4:31 pm
hurshy
they come before the ones you appear to be referring to.
4:32 pm
Minski
I need the SE9 after the SE8 which means the most harsh.
4:33 pm
hurshy
are you sure there's a 9 there? hmmm
4:33 pm
Minski
oh...wait...there is a 9 but I might be mistaken about its location. jsut a minute.
4:34 pm
lynxxx
only 1 se9 - just checked
4:34 pm
hurshy
no, there isn't. there can't be. there is no 9 letter word starting with those five letters appearing in the grid, nor coming between those two words alphabetically.
4:34 pm
hurshy
sure lynxxx, take the easy way :)
4:34 pm
lynxxx
I have a co9 - don't know what the other is.
4:35 pm
hurshy
thanks for that tip - the se9 was the only one i had... looking for the co now...
4:35 pm
lynxxx
Don't want to waste my time looking - that would be just plain inefficient
4:35 pm
Minski
must take a dinner break and make a salad. will be back later. but tehre are 3 9s.
4:35 pm
Minski
later taters
4:35 pm
Jellen
Later, Minski
4:36 pm
hurshy
i agree, lynxxx, but i went with the morewords/logic approach, whereas you went straight to the list.
4:36 pm
lynxxx
Hursh - it is a 'joint' co word - looks weird but logical
4:37 pm
hurshy
is the third letter e? those kind always get me
4:37 pm
hurshy
good and yay i found it
4:39 pm
hurshy
i wish the V and Z would swap so we could have sneeze
4:46 pm
hurshy
alright, i'm bored and past 90% so i'm listing.
4:47 pm
lynxxx
Not quite that far but about to do the same
4:49 pm
hurshy
cr9 is the other if you want to look for it before you list :)
4:50 pm
lynxxx
thanks but I am already hitting mky forehead a lot - the dog is getting a bit concerned about his morning walk
4:51 pm
lynxxx
rats - I thought about cr***fallen but not that
4:52 pm
hurshy
what, you don't find yourself kicking people out of your private club saying "away with you and your cr9 jacket, peasant!" ?
4:53 pm
hurshy
happens to me alllllll the time...
4:54 pm
Jellen
Thanks for the cr9...
4:55 pm
ivesy

ivesy

5:00 pm
hurshy
if you're new, it's pretty much the only way you will be able to finish grids, unless you are a miraculous person who knows words like su6, which rhymes with a certain male servant.
5:00 pm
Jellen
Taking a break...bbl...
5:00 pm
lynxxx
Morewords is a good tool too
5:00 pm
lynxxx
bye Jellen
5:01 pm
hurshy
but morewords doesn't do much good without the list.
5:01 pm
lynxxx
ps**, want to know a se****
5:01 pm
lynxxx
I use it before I list generally
5:01 pm
hurshy
well, i'm done, see y'all later
5:02 pm
lynxxx
Bye Hursh, have a good weekend
5:05 pm
hurshy
but how do you know what to look for in morewords if you aren't looking at what you need from the list?
5:05 pm
Minski
That was the sound of the S words all greyed out!! 76 words left to find.
5:06 pm
lynxxx
If you have a seemingly logical start to some words you can use it to search
5:07 pm
ivesy
this isnt for weaklings lol
5:08 pm
lynxxx
Depends how much time you have Ivesy, and how stubborn you are. Very addictive - be careful
5:08 pm

Done - anyone want any clues before I go?

7:37 pm
Minveryork
Ps4/5! Here is a story of clues. I will not get cl 5/12 to finishing and I do not expect to get any cl6/21 to FWs. So I may as well do my story. My computer has a virus that will co4/5 a lot of money to fix.Whoever started this virus is a lo 5/12. I think there are a lot of lo 6/21 in the computer world. I have inve4/7ed a lot of time trying to fix this computer. I have used lo 4/4 of fo4/8 language trying to fix this myse4/7,but that ge 4/6 me nowhere. My hubby ho 5/18 over me whenever I try to fix it which I don't like.He ho 6/20 all over me each time I try to do something technical with computer so he can watch me.I just want to be a sh 6/30 and sh 5/18 him out of the way.Hubby told me to bring it to a shop to fix it. At first I didn't agr 4/6 with him because I thought I could fix the laptop on my own.Now I think he is right. I think I am going to be a lo5/10 and lo 4/4 this battle with the virus. I can't seem to ou 4/5 it out of my computer although I have tried ov 4/7 and ov4/7 again. I believe this is the worst virus I have ev4/7 se4/4. It just keeps se 4/5ing through my computer. I've lo 4/4 my patients with this computer. I think I need to se 5/16 all ties with this computer 'til I get it fixed. I have suffered from sh 5/12 frustration trying to fix it.I told hubby I'd finally get laptop fixed if he ag5/14 to never open any links his friends send to him,which is how we got virus in the first place. Now I am going to fl 4/7 from this computer because it is driving me nuts.Hubby is le4/4ing at me. He wants to play Farmville the game that he lu 4/8. I am going to go re 4/4 my eyes on a book up in the lo4/7.I hope my clues made se5/10 to you and you were able to find some words.Adios to all
7:38 pm
cosdem
yay go tit
7:40 pm
