*HOLLERS in empty room and enjoys the echo*

3:17 pm

stidmama!!:)

3:17 pm

oops. *blushes*

3:17 pm

stidmama

hey cross

3:18 pm

crosshair

lol

3:18 pm

crosshair

i see youuuu

3:18 pm

stidmama

LOL how are you? not working? or just that late in the day?

3:19 pm

crosshair

i cannot believe that i may not finish a 38 word grid lol,i refuse to list

3:19 pm

crosshair

day off;)

3:19 pm

stidmama

my cell phone turned off within 30 seconds of my telling my mother I would rather talk to her than work on my master's project... *sigh* so I decided to babble a bit and then dive in

3:19 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo! *LOVES days off*

3:20 pm

crosshair

this grid has sharp little teeth

3:20 pm

stidmama

down to 12 here, listless because still am using the mac for everything.

3:20 pm

crosshair

i am 21 in and hit a great big wall

3:20 pm

Good Enough

hey peeps! crossy you still here from the am?

3:20 pm

stidmama

I LOVE the clear screen, I cannot believe there is no way to globally set the font sizes -- and NO way at all to make the menu fonts bigger.

3:20 pm

stidmama

hey good!

3:20 pm

crosshair

i have been in and out all day ge

3:21 pm

crosshair

stid,i use firefox and can adjust all that with a single flick of the mouse wheel

3:21 pm

stidmama

if "-le" is a diminutive, then why can't I have NOOD with pasta sauce for supper?

3:22 pm

stidmama

can't adjust the titles in the windows, cross -- or the fonts in popups.

3:22 pm

stidmama

my eyes require me to have some better (bigger) texts to be readable. JUST getting over a 6-day migraine from overuse of the eyes again.

3:23 pm

crosshair

do you use ff stidmama?

3:23 pm

stidmama

so I "guess" at the text when a popup happens, or just memorize the placement of things otherwise

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

ff??

3:24 pm

stidmama

yes cross, but that's only the browser. It doesn't change the actual window that surrounds firefox; and it doesn't make the windows titling bigger. It is NOT an accessible computer!

3:24 pm

stidmama

hey jmc

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

hey all

3:25 pm

stidmama

how's you? did I see you had an interview?

3:25 pm

crosshair

mm ok,but explore it a little more,my mrs sight is 20/400 and she has it all adjusted in a ton of ways

3:26 pm

crosshair

or catch me tomorrw am and i will help you dig thru windows accesability settings

3:26 pm

stidmama

down to 4 cross...

3:28 pm

stidmama

thanks cross -- went to the "genius" bar and was told what I am asking for is not possible. Thinking "class action suit" and such... I know I am not the only person in the world who is disappointed and upset that there is no flexibility in set-up for font sizes. As I kept telling the fellow who was trying to help me "I CAN do this in Windows" (he cringed every time...)

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

no, not an interview.

3:28 pm

stidmama

oh. bummer.

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

why bummer?

3:29 pm

stidmama

golly. ni 5/10 silly word

3:30 pm

stidmama

hoping you will get interviewed to be a fancy-pants lawyer somewhere doing something you love that also lets you babble all day....

3:30 pm

jmcnrick

i don't want to be a fancy pants lawyer

3:31 pm

jmcnrick

but thatnk you for the thoughts

3:31 pm

stidmama

okay, NO pants. *wicked mama grin*

3:32 pm

crosshair

new thing..i have wireless net and can now hook up to the wi-fi with my e-reader,may actually be able to play babble on it,but the tiny interface is a tad annoying for playing this type of game

3:32 pm

stidmama

OMG. down to one. that no 4 was a fish!

3:32 pm

stidmama

that's fun, cross!

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

i like pants

3:34 pm

stidmama

pretty sure that last one really IS a fish.

3:34 pm

stidmama

anyway, about time for me to start packing up...

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

did you get your last word?

3:35 pm

crosshair

how's it going jell?

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

this grid isn't even going to keep me for long

3:40 pm

Jellen

Very well...I have a date tonight :-)

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

how nice!

3:41 pm

Jellen

I think so :-D

3:41 pm

jmcnrick

tell me about him (if i am not being too nosy)

3:42 pm

Jellen

I'm going to go with a friend to a gig in Branson...he's a professional drummer...

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

cool

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

i always liked drummers

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

what kind of music?

3:43 pm

Jellen

He's was a couple of years ahead of me in school...so I've known him a long time...

3:43 pm

jmcnrick

that is nice so not a completely unknown territory

3:43 pm

Jellen

Acoustic guitar tonight, I believe...James is bringing hand drums...

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

sounds delightful

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

acoustic guitar and hand drums is very elemental

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

and by that I do not mean easy

3:45 pm

Jellen

He's in a rock band, but also has his own business producing music and helping songwriters...

3:47 pm

Jellen

I've head him accompany a solo guitarist on hand drums before...I think he's very good...

3:47 pm

Jellen

*heard

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

1/2 way

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

3:48 pm

Jellen

You go, woman!

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

The church service i went to thursday night for conscientious objectors had a choral group with a hand drum

3:55 pm

Jellen

Cool...sorry, I wandered off...

3:56 pm

Jellen

I have been chatting on and off with a minister friend of mine who is changing congregations this week...

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

really? what prompted the change?

3:58 pm

Jellen

Evidently, he's been reassigned to help clean up a mess left by a previous minister...don't know the story...

3:59 pm

Jellen

We're Methodists, so clergy assignments are handled by the church conference...

4:04 pm

mcurlschool

sometimes they don't make sense do the Jellen

4:05 pm

Jellen

I think he was ready for a change, actually...

4:07 pm

mcurlschool

In that case, it will be good. There is also that side of the "coin" as well. We had a pastor who was left far to long at our church before our conference moved him to a new congregation. Being such a small church we can no longer afford to pay the salary and all the conference apportionments for a pastor. We got someone new this year and she seems nice but the previous pastor just made my spiritual journey very difficult so I stopped going. Perhaps I'll get back

4:10 pm

Lady Biotch

just the opposite for me.....we had a great pastor-spirtually he fulfilled y needs probably 45% of the church are folks well into their 70's the pastor made changes that they were not in agreememt with-on more than one occasion the Bishop received complaints - bottom line in he was transferred to another parish

4:10 pm

Jellen

We have had a few ministers that were on their way out of service and a number who were on their way up.

4:16 pm

mcurlschool

the ones that are "on their way up" are the hard ones (we have had a number of those because their pay is, well, cheap) then once we've broken them in/trained them they get moved to a better church and we start all over again. It's hard being a "training ground" every 2 years.

4:16 pm

Jellen

Yes...

4:17 pm

mcurlschool

sometimes our methodist conference forgets about the high needs of small rural/country churches.

4:17 pm

Jellen

Actually, we're a medium-sized church, so we don't get the brand new clergy...I could see how that would be frustrating!

4:20 pm

mcurlschool

I used to play the piano every sunday until the previous pastor came. I couldn't find a reason; through her sermons, to continue and I'm "rural" enough that its 30 miles to a "medium-sized" church.

4:21 pm

mcurlschool

oops, look at the time. Must get back to the kids as it's getting close to going home time. See all at the filp

4:21 pm

Jellen

Bye, mcurl!

all jokes aside, somehow i am thinking, with 24 left, that this one is not an eas one

6:14 pm

not easy, but possible -- there were a LOT of shared endings

6:14 pm

stidmama

sorry to hear your church is closing, bugs

6:14 pm

Bugsaw

It is good to see you again. I was away this weekend so didn't play

6:15 pm

stidmama

I played sporadically, I was not highly motivated to do much of anything, but starting to "come to" now

6:15 pm

stidmama

it's stormy here

6:15 pm

Bugsaw

It makes sense intellectually, but my heart says how sad that all that tradition and personal memories will be gone now. There were generations of people who were baptised, married and had their kids married and their grandkids baptised etc.

6:18 pm

stidmama

I understand.

6:19 pm

stidmama

it feels that way with my granny gone for real -- the house sold, the household goods dispersed to the kids... so many memories that are now trickling away like the last of the snowmelt

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear bugs. it is traumatic

6:20 pm

Bugsaw

you had your Granny for such a long time! there will be a big hole for a long while

6:21 pm

Bugsaw

Not traumatic for me, just sad. Just another way the world is changing and we must change with it.

6:21 pm

stidmama

yes, that is true. AND because she waited until I had my own children (I didn't get to know her until I was an adult) I had many chances to talk with her and learn little things over the years.

6:37 pm

Nancy Boy

38 words?! whaaaat.

6:37 pm

Jellen

Hi, NB!

6:38 pm

Nancy Boy

hi, Jellen :) wondering if I can vanquish this fairly quickly - I'm exhausted!

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

They went crazy in Victoria and have closed 7 churches and hope that everyone will go to one "hub" church. Then they closed the hub church and are making everyone meet in the hall until Lent so people are still feeling like they don't have a church. AND they want to change tthe name of the hub church, which everyone will still call St.Paul's no matter what they call it. I can't believe how this is going to keep the few who still attend Sunday services attending!!!!

6:38 pm

Jellen

Yes, you can do it!

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

lots of things are being done so that assets are not subject to seizure in lawsuits.

6:39 pm

Bugsaw

HI NB!!! hugs to you and you can do almost all of it fairly easily. I am not very good and have 9 words left after 40 minutes

6:39 pm

stidmama

hey Nancy Boy and Jellen and all!

6:40 pm

Jellen

((stid))

6:40 pm

Nancy Boy

merci ;) I see you've seen my yahoo update - I'm so put out!

6:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi Bugs (lovely greeting!! :)) and Stid! :)

6:40 pm

Jellen

I don't blame you!

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

hi nb

6:41 pm

Jellen

Well, it's time I was off for my evening...see you all tomorrow!

6:41 pm

dianedecoder

I don't live there anymore... but family does. My mom passed away 3 years ago, and I know she'd be sad. It all comes down to money, doesn't it? I don't know the secret of the Evangelical churches... they are flourishing, which is good, but why can't the old churches.... it's sad. St. mary's has been around since 1911, and will probably lose its name althoug not its location.

6:41 pm

Nancy Boy

see you, Jellen :)

6:42 pm

dianedecoder

night night Jellen... see you tomorrow !

6:42 pm

dianedecoder

stidmama

6:43 pm

Bugsaw

Please don't get sick again NB. Sleeping is good but I am still glad you came to greet those of us who care!

6:44 pm

Nancy Boy

6:44 pm

Nancy Boy

6:50 pm

Nancy Boy

Bugs, that is so sweet of you to say, thank you! Life seems to be finally normal again, though - let's hope it stays that way :)

Glad you're well Nef. GO FEATHER!

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

Nef

is it a bone thing or muscle injury?

9:21 pm

stidmama

It has been 6 months since I didn't really need the cane, so I think I just need to go back to the docs and tell them that I want another anti-inflammatory injection, which seemed to help stabilize. NO bone damage, just something icky

9:21 pm

featherbee

you should plan on reading the Hobbit to those boys in a couple years...

9:30 pm

featherbee

you know, i never really got into the books. i read them, i liked the hobbit more than any of the others, but they weren't my favorite. i know, sacrilege.

9:30 pm

Minveryork

vi4/7 is like the other vi 4/7, but ends with different vowel Gadget.

9:30 pm

Minveryork

Hello dianedecoder!How are you? Welcome to the grid

9:31 pm

stidmama

it's okay, not everyone is "into" that sort of saga

9:31 pm

dianedecoder

hi Min :-) thanks

9:31 pm

Gadget

Thanks!

9:31 pm

stidmama

we are watching the harry potter films this week in preparation for the new movie coming out

9:31 pm

featherbee

i love fantasy books however! i think perhaps i read them too early, when i wasn't ready for them

9:31 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations featherbee on firewokrs!Good for U!

9:32 pm

stidmama

could be. I know that I didn't really enjoy CS Lewis the first time either

9:32 pm

featherbee

now CS Lewis, i loved at a young age!

9:32 pm

stidmama

ah well, different things catch our attention!

9:33 pm

featherbee

yup! ok, and with that i'd better go before i fall asleep again. night! nice talking, however briefly.

9:33 pm

stidmama

feather, I REALLY loved the unit I taught last month, but I did a pretty awful job at some parts of it, and the assessment rubric was terrible.

9:33 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams feather! see you again at some point!

9:33 pm

featherbee

awww, but did you learn from it?

9:34 pm

stidmama

oh yes! I learned LOADS -- and the kids got a lot out of it too

9:34 pm

featherbee

see! you can't get better without failure. so there.

9:34 pm

stidmama

:-D But I am glad it's over.

9:34 pm

featherbee

;)

9:34 pm

stidmama

I have a lot of improving to look foward to! LOL

9:34 pm

featherbee

LOL! ok, for real...POOF!

9:35 pm

stidmama

9:35 pm

stidmama

how about you Min? schoolkids treating you okay?

9:36 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye featherbee! I'll see you tomorrow in the log.

9:38 pm

Minveryork

School is going well for me,thanks stidmama.The year is whizzing by! This year is a learning experience for me. I am teaching 7th graders.I've never taught 7th graders before. I have a student who's very annoying

9:38 pm

stidmama

yes, the 7th graders I had were pretty challenging, too.

9:39 pm

stidmama

oh that wind! If I blink out it's from the power

9:39 pm

Minveryork

Other than that, teaching 7th graders is kinda fun. I like having to learn & teach the 7th grade curriculum

9:39 pm

stidmama

good for you! they have nicely inquisitive minds at that age, I think

9:40 pm

Minveryork

Although,I do have to say,I can't do the Math for the life of me! Good thing I do not really have to teach it.

9:40 pm

stidmama

is the curriculum pretty well set, or do you have some leeway for extension?

9:40 pm

stidmama

the math can get somewhat "twisty" at that point, for sure

9:42 pm

Minveryork

The curriculum is pretty well set. It's made up by the district. I started the year with Social Studies & now I am doing some Science. I've been teaching matter, physical properties & chemical properties & elements

9:43 pm

stidmama

those can be interesting science lessons!

9:44 pm

Minveryork

On that note stidmama, I should go review textbook for tomorrow's science lesson. Goodnight stidmama!

9:44 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

9:44 pm

stidmama

((Min)) sweet dreams!

9:45 pm

stidmama

Nef -- or anyone, if you need extra clues beyond Min's excellent story, I will be here-ish for a few more minutes

9:46 pm

Nef

fireworks!

9:46 pm

PastorJ

3 left and stuck! no4/4 between dark and midday?

9:46 pm

stidmama

italian for grandmother I think PastorJ

9:46 pm

stidmama

another no 4/4

9:47 pm

Nef

(I forgot to hit the enter button before Min left. I'm more tired than I thought)

9:47 pm

PastorJ

ah, thanks much!

9:47 pm

PastorJ

first ro 5/12 please?

9:47 pm

stidmama

maybe sleep is more important than finishing, Nef...

9:48 pm

stidmama

Italian for a musical movement meaning "round"

9:48 pm

stidmama

a type of dance, I think.

9:48 pm

PastorJ

wow - thanks! last one: the ro 4/7?

9:49 pm

cms1

wow. I am brand new to Babble. Are you all talking in some sort of code?

9:50 pm

PastorJ

(hoping it's not also italian)

9:50 pm

Nef

the thing over your head to stop the rain from hitting you

9:50 pm

PastorJ

oh, duh! tyvm, stidmama - i'm done!

9:50 pm

cms1

rode

9:51 pm

Nef

WTG, Pastor!!! YAY!!!!!!

9:51 pm

cms1

Oops! Sorry folks. WOnt let that happen again!

9:51 pm

stidmama

YAY PastorJ!

9:51 pm

PastorJ

thanks - I can usually finish these little ones!

9:52 pm

stidmama

yes, but occasionally the "little" grids are the trickiest

9:52 pm

stidmama

hey cms. we are actually speaking in a sort of code

9:52 pm

stidmama

the two letters are the ones that start the word.

9:52 pm

Nef

cms1; right above the chat log here is a Help page. After you read that; scroll down below the grid and tile stats and you will find the "friends of Babble" section. AngelSongs' Babble page is very helpful for newbies

9:53 pm

stidmama

ro 4/7 means a 4-letter word starting with RO and totaling 7 points.

9:53 pm

cms1

Ahhh! Hey thanks for the tidbits

9:53 pm

stidmama

5 pt words (ON 5/10) are double points (so each tile on that word is worth one point); 6 points are triple.

9:53 pm

cms1

this is harder than I thought

9:53 pm

stidmama

I mean 6-letter words are triple points. *sigh*

9:53 pm

stidmama

I think I AM tired!

9:54 pm

stidmama

it's gets more manageable with practice

9:54 pm

Nef

and then there is Lickety's List (also under Friends of Babble) where we go to "list"

9:56 pm

stidmama

well, I am getting nervous about the wind now. I think I will log off. one last clue nef?

9:57 pm

Nef

stiders, YOU are tired too! I had fireworks before feather left!

9:57 pm

stidmama

oh! LOL

9:57 pm

stidmama

YAY NEF!!!!

9:57 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams then! *hands out extra plates of apple crisp*

*poof*

9:58 pm

Nef

NIters, stid!

10:06 pm

Jillyjill

10:12 pm

222222222222

10:12 pm

Nef

Busy days ahead for you Jilly. I'm hoping to paint a wall in my kitchen where I've changed a few things here at home tomorrow

10:13 pm

Jillyjill

You might not want to ask...lol...I work in endoscopy.

10:13 pm

Nef

I'll keep him in my prayers, Jilly

10:13 pm

Nef

LOL! JTRAY may be sorry that he did ask! :-D

10:13 pm

JTRAYNHAM

I figured it was something medical with the wording. I am a family practice doctor.

10:14 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks...just hoping for some answers...and that he can and will find a job...

10:14 pm

Nef

welcome to the game, JTRAY. Lots of medical people play this game

10:14 pm

mkg

done.

10:15 pm

Jillyjill

It's usually a dead end to a conversation when I answer that question Jtray...glad to have someone who understands!

10:15 pm

Nef

WTG, mkg!!! YAY!!!

10:16 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT mkg!!

10:16 pm

JTRAYNHAM

Not much bothers me.

10:17 pm

Jillyjill

Most people can't imagine liking what I do...but I really enjoy it...very much a teamwork relationship with the MD's than I have ever had in my 31 years being an RN

10:17 pm

Nef

JTRAY, if you click on our icons, you can read about us.

10:19 pm

JTRAYNHAM

I hadn't noticed the icon information before.

10:20 pm

JTRAYNHAM

Hubby plays more than me. He temps me into playing occasionally.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Looking at human insides is wonderful, especially if you can then go on to either prevent a problem or help.

10:22 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks Jac...and btw, I sure appreciate you listing on days that lickety is not...thanks!!

10:22 pm

Jacula

Hi all, btw.

10:22 pm

Nef

Oh, come on! You need to "Go Pro" and join for real! For just somewhere around $15 US; you can join up *forever* with thaqt 1 trime fee! :-)

10:23 pm

Jacula

Oh, thanks Jillyjill. y/w

10:23 pm

Jillyjill

It certainly is worth the $$!!!

10:24 pm

Nef

definitely!

10:25 pm

Jacula

Yes, this game is worth paying for. You not only get to pit your wits against a grid, you also get chats, friendships, discussions, falling outs, comedy, tragedy, everything really. How much do you want for your money?

10:25 pm

Nef

Geez! It's 10:30PM and tomorrow's my day off but I've scheduled a PT appt. for 7:30 AM for myself. I probably should toddle off to bed soon

10:26 pm

Jacula

Nef - yes, you should.

10:26 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...you can snooze during the PT!!

10:26 pm

Jacula

And, since it's 4:26am here, and my Mum's coming roujnd at 2pm,I probably should, too.

10:27 pm

Nef

LOL! Look who's talking, Jac! It's - what 4:30 there?

10:27 pm

Jacula

Yes, Nef, I just said that.

10:28 pm

Nef

yep. you Type faster than me tonight

10:28 pm

Jacula

LOL

10:29 pm

Jillyjill

now now girls.....

10:29 pm

JTRAYNHAM

I am sure I will eventually join, just have been too lazy.

10:29 pm

Jillyjill

Off to bed...both of you!!

10:29 pm

Jacula

Maybe I should write a story or poem about menopausal nights sometime.

10:29 pm

Nef

How long have you been playing JTRAY?

10:30 pm

Jacula

Jilly - don't try your headmistressey voice on me. The moment you do that, I get pig-headed.

10:30 pm

Nef

Considering I can't stay awake; I'm going to go tobed before I faceplant on the keyboard again

10:31 pm

Jillyjill

giggle.....

10:31 pm

Riverdance

10:31 pm

Jillyjill

You sound a lot like me.

Jillyjill

10:33 pm

Riverdance

10:33 pm

Jacula

Here I am in bed, next to Beloved, who's been well fed, but he's snoringl ;ike a stty of pigs, so I'd rather listen to YouTube gigs.

10:33 pm

mrpresident

I know! flip happens later for me now

10:33 pm

Jillyjill

I am OK, couple of life's bumps, but surviving!!

10:34 pm

Jacula

Hi MrP.

10:34 pm

Riverdance

10:34 pm

Riverdance

10:34 pm

Jillyjill

Hi mr pres!

10:35 pm

mrpresident

10:35 pm

mrpresident

10:35 pm

Riverdance

I should get to bed - need to be up in 6 hours for work

10:35 pm

Riverdance

10:35 pm

Jillyjill

Nice to see you River...sweet dreams!

Riverdance

10:37 pm

Jillyjill

lol...I still needed nef's help...of course fishy ones they were..

10:37 pm

mrpresident

nite river

10:37 pm

Jacula

I'd only had 2 sips of my morning cuppa tea before this grid was done. It skipped a day, I guess. The tiny grids usually happen on a Sunday lately.

10:38 pm

Jacula

I think I did the grid in about 28 minutes.

10:38 pm

Riverdance

Nice to see you all - Jac, MrP, Jilly - been too long - poof

10:40 pm

Jacula

However, since the grid had skipped Sunday for a short one, even though it's random, maybe we'll get a nice meaty one for Sundays for a while? Like 200 or 300+? Please Dr_God.

10:42 pm

Jacula

I'm assuming now that the new version of Bable will appear in the New Year?

10:42 pm

Jillyjill

I like the long ones on Sunday as well, weekends are when I can really spend time....

10:43 pm

Jacula

Well, Jilly, we all like a g=big one one on a Sunday! LOL

10:44 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I too must head off to bed...nice to chat with you that I usually don't get to see...niters all

10:44 pm

Jacula

Sorry for spelling error. I got too excited thinking about a big slow one on a Sunday. LOL

10:44 pm

Jillyjill

rofl....must be the late hour for you jac!

10:44 pm

Jacula

Oh, night Jillyjill.
