1:59 am

jillibus

I'm afraid I'll probably have to skip this one -- haven't had any time since the flip, and tomorrow will be really busy -- Grey Cup party and such.

2:00 am

jillibus

And now it's bedtime -- so hi and bye, my babble buddies, have fun!

2:48 am

FMitch

Morning ruby it is a good juicy grid for a Sunday isn't it.

3:34 am

FMitch

Much snow?

3:35 am

rubyfoo

3:35 am

rubyfoo

FMitch

3:36 am

rubyfoo

3:36 am

rubyfoo

3:36 am

crystalle

hello

3:37 am

rubyfoo

he crystalle

3:37 am

FMitch

from the cold to the warm - what temps have you got lynxxx?
Hi crystalle.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

lynxx is probably basking in the sunshine!

3:37 am

lynxxx

Its been raining the last couple of days - going to clear up to moderate temps this week

3:38 am

lynxxx

hi Crystalle

3:38 am

crystalle

it is hot here.....Western australia hi lynn

3:38 am

FMitch

rain is good for the garden.

3:39 am

FMitch

Hot, now there is a lovely word :)

3:39 am

rubyfoo

and, I think, for Australia in general. That awful drought of several years seems to be over if the chog is any indication.....

3:39 am

lynxxx

Our lawns and nature strips look like emerald green velvet - such a change from recent years

3:40 am

FMitch

you were due a break after such a lack of water.

3:40 am

lynxxx

The West is not as good yet - hear some farmers are sending their stock away for grazing

3:41 am

lynxxx

or using that Babble word - to agist

3:41 am

FMitch

lol

3:41 am

crystalle

yes the drought is still bad here

3:41 am

crystalle

yes the drought is still bad here
farmers are struggling

3:42 am

FMitch

where abouts in the west are you crystalle?

3:42 am

lynxxx

do you have water restrictions in town Crystalle?

3:43 am

crystalle

im in perth

3:43 am

FMitch

ah OK.

3:43 am

crystalle

yes we have water restrictions we have 2 watering days per week and eeven bore water has restrictions

3:44 am

crystalle

we also had the same restrictions all winter

3:45 am

FMitch

That sounds pretty serious.
Thinking of Aussie babblers, haven't seen Sandyloo for quite a while now, hope all is well with her.

3:45 am

lynxxx

Yes we have just recently come out of 3 years of water restrictions - still some in force - which will probably never go

3:46 am

lynxxx

Sandy might have started building the new house perhaps

3:46 am

FMitch

The ts6/18 and 8/40 would be a word that would be appropiate to this conversation.

3:47 am

FMitch

Morelikely has PC problems again.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

yes, I miss her!

3:47 am

lynxxx

psst 2 ts6.18

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I thought that ts6 was Yiddish!

3:48 am

lynxxx

trouble and strife aka wife

3:48 am

FMitch

the ts6 I have is Yiddish but didn't know there was a 2nd ts6

3:49 am

rubyfoo

3:51 am

rubyfoo

hiya dizgrannia

3:52 am

FMitch

Sheesh some parts of the UK have had up to 16" of snow and it got as low as -17 in Wales. All very unusual for this time of year. Just been listening to the weatherforecast if you hadn't guessed.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

that is amazing weather for the UK; I guess I shouldn't complain

3:53 am

lynxxx

3:53 am

crystalle

3:54 am

FMitch

3:55 am

FMitch

3:58 am

FMitch

Heading back into the grid with (hopefully) fresh eyes.

3:58 am

lynxxx

stew, rabbits - getting a bit close to home!

3:58 am

4:05 am

lynxxx

Christine

Hello, all.

4:47 am

lynxxx

hi Christine

4:48 am

Christine

Oh, hi -- I thought I was the only one here. It seems I signed in just as everyone left.

4:50 am

lynxxx

I don't know if you will remember a conversation we had about importing fabric. But I did end up getting upholstery fabric from the US - 15 yards - and it only cost about US$65 to get it to Aust....very happy

4:56 am

Christine

Wow that sounds like a real bargain. What will you do withit, where did you buy it, what pattern/color is it

4:59 am

lynxxx

Reupholster (not me!) 2 clubs chairs. Site is Glamorous fabrics. Butterscotch background, bone & brown geometric pattern on top. Wait for it US$13.50 per yard.!! They have markdown s quite regularly

5:00 am

Christine

Just realised - 15yds for$65. is only $4plus per yard, and that doesn't include shipping. That really was a great deal.

5:03 am

lynxxx

No - $65 for the shipping - $202 for the fabric ...but as its original price is something like $150 per yard - cheap!

5:04 am

Christine

OMGosh - I was about to re-cover everything in the house.

5:07 am

Soodle

Hello Hoot. :-)

6:09 am

hootowl

hi Soodle - just realized it's been an hour since I last saw anyone

6:09 am

Soodle

I assume that was a slip of the fingers, rather than a description of me....?

6:10 am

hootowl

That was me forgetting where I was!LOL!

6:10 am

Soodle

LOL. Yup, the chat is remarkably quiet. Must be all recovering from Thanksgiving.

6:11 am

hootowl

yup

6:11 am

Soodle

I'm not finding this grid one bit easy.

6:12 am

hootowl

anytime I go to bed and haven't reached 1/2 way - I know it's a problem. This is my second round and still haven't gotten to halfway

6:13 am

Soodle

I gave in with 83 to go, and listed.

6:14 am

Christine

Hello, again

6:14 am

hootowl

I'll list when I'm thru the whole grid. Haven't touched the a, l &d and just started the n's

6:14 am

Soodle

Hi Christine. :-)

6:15 am

hootowl

hi Chris

6:15 am

Soodle

I'm kicking myself for listing.... I missed some pretty obvious ones....

6:16 am

hootowl

Oh don't - especially when there are so many of the same letters - your brain can't sort them out

6:17 am

hootowl

a rest usually brings peace.

6:17 am

Soodle

Thank you Hoot! I feel better now :-)

6:18 am

hootowl

and I find that the obvious ones are missed because our brains recognises them and then dismisses them as found

6:19 am

hootowl

and I won't mention the ones babble throws away when you turn your back....

6:19 am

hootowl

glad to help :D

6:20 am

Soodle

I know...thats always happening to me. I could have SWORN I put in a word.... and it vanishes!

6:20 am

littlebit

hoot, you are doing a wonderful job as6/18ing the situation

6:20 am

Soodle

Hi LittleBit

6:20 am

littlebit

hey soodle

6:20 am

hootowl

why thank you! hi littlebit

6:21 am

littlebit

hey hoot, your welcome!

6:25 am

littlebit

and i'm off for now...bbl. happy babbling all!

6:25 am

Soodle

That sneaky little E in the top left-hand corner has caught me out more than once....

6:26 am

Soodle

Bye Littlebit.

6:27 am

Christine

Soodlebum, do you find Babble removes words from your list, and when you try to re-enter them it tells you you've already entered the words -- they're no longer on your list, but you can't re-enter them ... aaaarrrggghhh

6:27 am

hootowl

byr littlebit - was off reading your prfile

6:28 am

Soodle

I do, Christine. Its very aggravating. I start wondering if I'm going bonkers!

6:29 am

hootowl

oh finally I'm convincing people I'm not crazy! I usually have them accepted and then when I go back - it;s gone!

6:30 am

Christine

Perhaps we can get a group rate on a home for the Babble-ized, when Babble finally pushes over the edge -- a restful plaace, making baskets & petting tabby cats.

6:30 am

hootowl

love it!

6:30 am

Christine

**pushes us

6:30 am

Soodle

And Cabana boys...... lots of cabana boys!

6:30 am

Christine

Well naturally

6:31 am

hootowl

pure heaven but BF objects to cabana boys

6:32 am

Soodle

And on that note, I must depart. Bye everybody, have a lovely day. Poof

6:33 am

hootowl

bye Soodle

6:33 am

hootowl

And I must back to the grid!

6:34 am

Christine

If he's not Babble-ized, he won't qua;ify for the resthome, and won't know who's fetching reeds and cats for you.

6:35 am

hootowl

But I can't leave him behind

6:35 am

hootowl

so I guess I can't go myself

6:36 am

hootowl

Can I hide him in a closet ya think???

6:40 am

Christine

Bring him along, we'll get him some magazines.

6:43 am

hootowl

You should see the look I got when I read him that! If looks could kill.... We laugh alot

6:47 am

Brookie

Good morning!

6:49 am

hootowl

Morning Brookie

6:49 am

Brookie

Hi hootowl!

6:50 am

hootowl

Oh just hoot - we're not formal here :D

6:51 am

Brookie

LOL. Hoot it is.

6:55 am

Christine

Except I don't like the name Chris. I've always liked my name ( except when I was 12 and decided to become a nun - Sister Monica !!).

6:55 am

Brookie

All the "Chris" names sound nice to me. I didn't like my name for the longest time because it rhymed with "uk".

6:56 am

Christine

My son-in-law is named Christopher, and his Mum and I are the only ones that don't call him Chris.

6:58 am

hootowl

Ha! does the fact that I don't use my real name give you a clue? So your real name is Monica?

6:58 am

hootowl

too many Cris's would tend to confuse I'd think...

6:59 am

hootowl

ohoh - I'm getting to the bad, bad typing stage!

6:59 am

Christine

No, I thought that'd be a good nun-name.

6:59 am

hootowl

aaah - I see...I think

6:59 am

Brookie

Sister Monica is a good name.

7:00 am

hootowl

it does flow

By the way Nono, I student directed a production of No No Nanette in high school. Every time I see you about, I start singing the score in my head. : D

7:47 am

NonoNanette

molly the story behind my nick goes something like that :)

7:47 am

NonoNanette

my college nick was nono, so thats what I started using on line. Some one that I use to chat with said it always reminded her of that musical so I became NonoNanette

7:49 am

MollyL

It's kind of an obscure musical. I'm always amazed when I discover other people who know of it.

7:49 am

NonoNanette

I remember seeing it when I was a kid, my Aunt took me to see it on Broadway

7:54 am

periwinkle

8:10 am

Mom

Good morning everyone

8:12 am

8:12 am

Mom

8:12 am

bichon

doh, ty NONo

8:15 am

Mom

oh how I dislike AE words

8:17 am

NonoNanette

mom they all work of the ae4 today

8:18 am

Mom

thanks nono, I did find 3 of the them

8:18 am

bichon

I do too, but there's More Words

8:18 am

NonoNanette

make sure you do pl of both the longer ones

8:18 am

Mom

Hi Bichon, might hit that up if all else fails

8:19 am

MollyL

Solidarity Mom. I'm no fan of ae words either. Especially long ones.

8:19 am

Mom

((Molly)) good morning. Solidarity!

8:20 am

MollyL

My second least favorite are e words and there are 15 of them today. Aaaarrrggghh.

8:21 am

Mom

oh geez, there are :-(

8:22 am

MollyL

By the way all, Cos is going to be very put out that Santa is not found in the dictionary.

8:22 am

Mom

lol Molly, yes he will

8:22 am

NonoNanette

its a proper name Molly

8:23 am

Mom

satan isn't in the dictionary either

8:23 am

MollyL

Technically yes, but when you use it in a sentence that speaks of department store Santas it almost makes it a common noun as well.

8:24 am

MollyL

I've always found it creepy that if you shuffle the letters in Santa you get Satan.

8:24 am

NonoNanette

i know mom, I am forever trying satan over and over again whenever it is in a grid

8:24 am

Mom

:)

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

good morning, everyone. I see babblelonia is back to normal.

8:24 am

Mom

oh geez and 30 A words.

8:25 am

Mom

Hi ((TO)) how are you feeling?

8:25 am

NonoNanette

morning TO when was it not normal?

8:25 am

MollyL

But I do like that if you shuffle the letters in scared you get sacred. Nice balance.

8:25 am

Mom

indeed Molly

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

last night. troll attack. i emailed dr god...seems folks no longer know how to go into troll mode, new folks need teaching

8:26 am

NonoNanette

oh, from what i've heard they have been in evenings as of late, glad i dont come in then

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

well chat was totally unusable. I had not heard of that type of attack

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

seriously, troll mode hunkering down drill is needed

8:28 am

Cherrypop

Please explain Towl

8:29 am

NonoNanette

I haven't encounted any trolls in ages but when i do I just close chat out

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

#1: email Dr_god. #@: don't feed them.

8:29 am

NonoNanette

Cherry Trolls are those that come into chat only to disrupt things

8:30 am

hootowl

and this one was smart enought to put the complete word list in chat!

8:30 am

NonoNanette

if they are ignored they will go away, but if people tell them to knock it off or what ever it only gets worse

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

dont try to reason with them, don't admonish them.

8:30 am

hootowl

hi all you who snuck in while I was gone

8:30 am

NonoNanette

oh no hoot thats really bad

8:31 am

hootowl

I think it was a waste of brains on his part

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

and if the barrage gets too much, dont chat at all. institute radio silence.

8:31 am

dfmchfhf

*sneaks in while hoot isn't gone*
hi everyone :o)

8:31 am

NonoNanette

hi dfm

8:31 am

hootowl

Anytime school is closed they show up. Like they have nothing better to do.

8:31 am

dfmchfhf

the troll crashed my browser seventeen times la4 night :o(

8:31 am

hootowl

And where are the parents???

8:31 am

dfmchfhf

hi Nono :o)

8:32 am

hootowl

hi dfm

8:32 am

hurshy

what did you mean by "that type of attack", TO? what was different?

8:32 am

Mom

good morning Dfmchfhf

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

rule #1 is to email dr god with time & scren name

8:32 am

NonoNanette

how did they crash your browser?

8:32 am

dfmchfhf

hi hoot, Mom :o)

8:32 am

MollyL

Wait, hold up, how can a troll crash someone's computer?

8:33 am

dfmchfhf

<-- custom browser, memory leaks and bugs aplenty.

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

as hoot said

8:33 am

MollyL

But that's not a troll, that's not using a stable browser.

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

by constantly posting entire word list, her system could not keep up only thing to do was close chat out

8:34 am

hurshy

sheesh.

8:34 am

dfmchfhf

probably gonna use Firefox from now until I fix that, though... and fix most of Javascript running on it... >.>

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

ltns hursh

8:34 am

dfmchfhf

well, it crashed firefox twice too.

8:35 am

hurshy

what's ltns? haven't encountered that acronym before.

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

long time no see

8:35 am

hurshy

ohhh, well howdy!

8:35 am

hootowl

Now before I submerge again I want to say thank you for the ae words!

8:36 am

Mom

time for me to start my day ((Hugs)) to all of you

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

8:36 am

dfmchfhf

Anniebrook

thanks, dfm...got the 3

9:07 am

crosshair

on a different note,watching a show here on huskies and malamutes.it boggles my mind how many of these beautiful creatures end up in pounds or crated all the time because the owner tries to make them a indoor lap dog and is somehow surprised with it does not work and it is bad for both the dog and human

9:08 am

Anniebrook

crossy, it makes me sad to see a very large dog living in an apartment..they do not belong there

9:09 am

welki

same thing with basset hounds, believe it or not .. people expect couch potatoes, 'hush puppies,' but they're hunting dogs and need to be exercised

9:09 am

crosshair

indeed:(

9:09 am

Anniebrook

absolutely

9:09 am

welki

i guess it's the same with all dogs, regardless of breed (or breed knowledge) ... dogs need exercise and stimulation regardless of where they live

9:10 am

crosshair

thats why i applaud that dogs 101 show that is out now, a person can watch and learn the traits and other information about many breeds

9:10 am

Anniebrook

agreed

9:10 am

dfmchfhf

I once knew someone whose dog refused to go on walks... o.0

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

how many gn words pls? i have 4 and its plural

9:10 am

welki

i've loved all my dogs, but those rescue bassets hold a special place in my heart

9:10 am

dfmchfhf

3 gn

9:11 am

crosshair

now that is rare! i i used to have to do is whisper the word "walkies" and all hell breaks loose

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

t y found it

9:12 am

welki

lol crossy ... yep, having to spell it, "Hon, taking the dogs for a W A L K .. " and dreading the day they learn to spell *LOL*

9:12 am

car.eeyore

Many twisty words today!

9:12 am

dfmchfhf

it was weird, because he'd run around the house energetically... and then as soon as the door was opened he'd hide or sulk in a corner...

9:12 am

Anniebrook

welki, my friend had to say WALK in a different language and then the dog understood that word too

9:13 am

dfmchfhf

wonder what traumatic experience he must've suffered outside :o(

9:13 am

crosshair

and they do start to understand! it got to the point where we were just saying "W" and the dog knew! so we started saying stroll,hike,outing walkabout,diversionary pedestrian travel ..etc lol

9:13 am

Anniebrook

or thought he was being taken to the vet where he was badly hurt

9:13 am

welki

*will put "walk" into translation program*

9:14 am

car.eeyore

We had a dog and the magic word was POND. We have a house on a pond and she used to LOVE to go there! we would have to spell it so we could get ready to go and then all we had to do was say "pond" and she would get right in the car!

9:14 am

crosshair

but all that did not matter,the second that leash so much as moved a 1/4 on that table by the door,he heard it lol

9:14 am

welki

oh, they know how to play us, don't they

9:14 am

Anniebrook

smart dogs

9:15 am

crosshair

once you learn to follow their rules it gets easier

9:17 am

crosshair

then we switched to cats,now we have been reduced to mere servants with opposable thumbs lol

9:17 am

dfmchfhf

have you experienced a Catsplosion yet?

9:18 am

welki

i have a cat, too :)

9:19 am

car.eeyore

I'm frightened...catsplosion?

9:19 am

Anniebrook

sounds

9:19 am

Anniebrook

ominous

9:19 am

dfmchfhf

that's when you forget/neglect/don't want to neuter/spay your cat, and don't know that someone else in the neighbourhood did the same...

9:20 am

crosshair

oh no,we always get resuce kittes so they do not get put down..have never had that problem

9:20 am

car.eeyore

Oooooh! In a way, yes! I work with an organization that traps ferals then spays/neuters them and releases them.

9:20 am

car.eeyore

We, of course, find homes for those we can.

9:20 am

crosshair

and the one we had way back that was given to us,we had fixed after the first heat

9:21 am

crosshair

we do not care to add to the feral cat problem in this area

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

bye all time to rest

9:21 am

dfmchfhf

bye TO :o)

9:21 am

Anniebrook

Owl, Feel better soon.

9:21 am

car.eeyore

TO...feel better and keep us posted. Let me know if you need anything.

9:22 am

xeiluj

we always have rescue cats, even brought two back from Hong Kong with us, many years ago.

9:22 am

Anniebrook

hi xe

9:22 am

crosshair

and it is a great deal also,you rescue a fine kittie,it is fixed,dosed for fleas,given a total check up and all you do is pay 75 dollars..what could be better?

9:22 am

kazzy

their names werent pumpkin and blackie?

9:23 am

crosshair

cool

9:23 am

dfmchfhf

seeing kittens every three months! :o)

9:23 am

xeiluj

They were!"!! Hello sis

9:23 am

car.eeyore

The ones that I have adopted are sooooo grateful!

9:23 am

crosshair

perhaps you may want to get the breeding cat fixed?

9:23 am

kazzy

hey you how u feeling now?

9:24 am

dfmchfhf

I think in Ontario now you have to either get your cat fixed or get a license...

9:24 am

kazzy

do u get the same puzzle as me? xeiluj

9:24 am

crosshair

we fix to ease the pressure on the pounds,that is voluntary,the liscences are mandatory

9:24 am

welki

cats need to be licensed in calgary and must not be found at large, same as dogs

9:25 am

crosshair

but do not just sit there and let them pump out kittens every 3 months:/

9:25 am

xeiluj

we all get the same puzzle i think. I am up to 119 words but running out fast

9:26 am

car.eeyore

At least the vowels move right along today!

9:26 am

welki

neutering is voluntary .. but all rescues from animal services are fixed before they're adopted (ane we have a free spay/neuter program for low income folks)

9:26 am

kazzy

hey i got 19 lol

9:27 am

crosshair

we are very vigilant here as the current ferral population is sitting at roughly 450 cats,and many of us on conjunction with the humane society and 2 local vets are catching the females and fixing them

9:28 am

car.eeyore

Good for you and your community Crossy! Well done!

9:28 am

crosshair

it is a long road...

9:29 am

dfmchfhf

the owner is a tutor/teacher though so the kittens are usually gone really soon... and what is awesome is that the mom housebreaks the kitties herself :oO

9:29 am

car.eeyore

Absolutely! I've been working with this group for over 15 years now!

9:29 am

crosshair

you and your group will get there i am sure;))

9:29 am

car.eeyore

We are well into the thousands now!

9:30 am

crosshair

once all the kitties in the pounds are adopted,then we can think about breeding again;))

9:31 am

car.eeyore

I agree...if any one of those kittens isn't spayed/neutered in turn, then it just keeps going...and going...and going....

9:31 am

crosshair

since we have a no kill policy it takes time

9:32 am

car.eeyore

We only put a feral down if it tests positive for AIDS or Leukemia.

9:32 am

crosshair

only those with medical reason that demand it get put to sleep

9:32 am

crosshair

same here

9:33 am

crosshair

heck,right this very moment in the cat section we have a beautiful male russian blue! or did,may be adopted now

9:34 am

dfmchfhf

Doesn't it start to get a bit crowded in there? :o(

9:34 am

crosshair

i would take him myself,but we try to stay at 2 kitties at a time

9:34 am

crosshair

we have the adoption rate matching the incoming right now dfm and we are gaining ground

9:35 am

sprite

good afternoon all

9:35 am

10:15 am

rururocks

sorry.. most of them are easy.. except three

10:15 am

Dorens

i have recently diagnosed arthritis of mythumb and tendonitis as well. typing is not that easy for me... have to do it in dribs and drabs if i want to get better

10:16 am

Dorens

with this many a's, s's, r

10:16 am

rururocks

oh...

10:16 am

oh Dorens, that is awful. Am so sorry.

10:16 am

10:16 am

Dorens

thanks sprite... could be much awfuller. in the grand scheme of things, et al

10:16 am

rururocks

I think I am getting arthritis too

10:17 am

rururocks

.. this growing older is not what it is cracked up to be...

10:17 am

phaeton

hello

10:17 am

Dorens

i thought arthritis would be more stiffness... i have some where bones have been broken, etc... but this is just pain. particularly when i try to use my hand!

10:17 am

rururocks

gm Phaeton

10:17 am

Dorens

hi phae.... and ru, consider the alternative!

10:18 am

sprite

true, Dorens, but that doesn't negate what it means in your life. I hope it will heal. Be gentle with it, drink lots of water and keep moving, but carefully!

10:18 am

phaeton

Just reading what you wrote Dorens...I have a pinched nerve in my arm, makes my elbow and lower arm ache and gets numb...

10:18 am

sprite

hi phaeton

10:18 am

rururocks

probably a hot tub would help

10:18 am

Scrabbler

A quick hello before I go into town to shop.

10:18 am

phaeton

seas

10:18 am

sprite

I can relate to that, phaeton. Very painful :(

10:18 am

phaeton

sorry

10:18 am

sprite

hi Scrabs, we were just hoping you'd show

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Ty for that clue, phaeton

10:19 am

Dorens

ty sprite, good advice... hey scrabbs! *been hottubbing, ruru, for sure*

10:19 am

phaeton

yes it is...having trouble finding something to alleviate the pain

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Aging is not for the timid.

10:19 am

sprite

both are inflammations though, ruru... adding heat isn't always wise then.

10:19 am

Dorens

age, phae, .. my problem was that ibuprofen wasn't helping... on celebrex now and it is somewhat

10:19 am

sprite

yayyy Scrabs, good slogan.

10:20 am

Dorens

been icing it too, sprite... it did help a bit... in terms of numbing it

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Anyone seen Owl?

10:20 am

Dorens

noticed she was on yesterday, but not when i was

10:20 am

phaeton

Can't take ibuprofen...trying acetametaphin(?)

10:20 am

sprite

haven't seen her, sorry

10:21 am

Scrabbler

Acetaminophen does not have an anti-inflammatory effect.

10:21 am

phaeton

maybe not, but it seems to help with the pain

10:21 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it will.

10:22 am

Unfortunately. We have to be "educated".

1:24 pm

Mark Jones

None of us like it. We like sticking to gym.

1:24 pm

Magyk

m9f9l

ok. ri5, lariat

1:32 pm

Pinikula

Mark...are you using Lickety's List (a link found below the grid stats?)

1:32 pm

Sally-catlover

Mark, if you look down below the grid, under Friends of Babble, you will see a link to Lickety's Babble Clues, where you will find a list of the first two letters of all the words and their points count. You will find a lot more words if you use that, at least at the beginning.

1:33 pm

Magyk

I started a pair of socks. Got one done and decided to take a break and make a hat before I started the other one! haha

1:33 pm

Pinikula

GMTA, Sally...was just writing the other half of the suggestion...

1:33 pm

m9f9l

ah Magyk.. that's why I had never tried socks before! Then I saw a friend knitting socks.. and she knits them both at once! on one set of needles.

1:34 pm

m9f9l

So now I feel like I can do socks.LOL

1:34 pm

m9f9l

I use circular needles and knit them toe up

1:34 pm

Magyk

I've seen that but have never had the gumption to try them myself. Is it difficult?

1:34 pm

m9f9l

no counting stiches or anything!

1:34 pm

Mark Jones

I looked at it and couldn't figure the thing out. I'm not good with technology.

1:34 pm

m9f9l

I don't think so. and there are visual tutorials on the net.

1:35 pm

Mark Jones

Anybody watch Star Trek here?

1:35 pm

Pinikula

Do you know how to copy and paste? If so, it's easy, just copy and paste the words you've already found (under your My Word List) and paste them in the box at the bottom of Lickety's List and press Bulk Add...it's all done for you.

1:35 pm

m9f9l

are you a trekkie?

1:35 pm

Magyk

I'll have to try!

1:36 pm

m9f9l

yes do Magyk!

1:36 pm

Mark Jones

I am a big trekkie. I have every episode from every season including DS9

1:36 pm

m9f9l

1:36 pm

Sally-catlover

Right, fireworks at long last. A real mammoth today. See you all tomorrow.

1:37 pm

Pinikula

wtg sally

1:37 pm

Magyk

wtg Sally!

1:37 pm

m9f9l

when my son was your age, if we went in a new library, he'd declare it a good library if it had a trek book he'd never read before.

1:37 pm

Pinikula

2nd di6, plz?

1:38 pm

Mark Jones

I am not much for the books, just the shows and movies.

1:38 pm

m9f9l

then he'd get the book.. read it about 1/4th the way and say "oh... I guess I have read this one before" LOL

1:38 pm

m9f9l

ah.

1:38 pm

m9f9l

fave movies?

1:38 pm

Magyk

Don't have it Pini. Sorry.

1:39 pm

m9f9l

1:39 pm

Kazzer99

1:40 pm

Mark Jones

I'm not sure. Never heard him sing.

1:40 pm

m9f9l

1:41 pm

1:41 pm

1:42 pm

MollyL

Shatner singing is a painful thing.

1:42 pm

Pinikula

no, kaz...scrolling back...

1:42 pm

welki

no, but i think he's a pretty good match for the dad in that new sitcom, s*^&* my dad says (i think that the series would be difficult for anyone)

1:43 pm

MPittore

I think Shatner is a stitch...people take him seriously and he is so comedic

1:43 pm

Mark Jones

I knew it! Now I am not going to watch him on youtube.

1:43 pm

Kazzer99

I love his novels though

1:43 pm

Mark Jones

Those are good.

1:43 pm

MPittore

He laughs at himself....smile

1:43 pm

m9f9l

m9f9l

of course tambourine man is what a real trekkie should see.

1:45 pm

Mark Jones

What's tambourine man?

1:46 pm

m9f9l

I remember going to a church talent show.. and the young women were all wearing trek shirts.. and it took me a moment to realize they were lip synching to tambourine man.. the main girl did SUCH a good job!

1:46 pm

m9f9l

a song he did way back

1:46 pm

MPittore

If only we could all look at ourselves and see how funny human behavior can be....it is so interesting to me...sometimes I get such a kick out of myself and I'm not being stuck up I just do hilarious things if I stand back and look at myself....others too are a real source of a good belly laugh! A fine thing fior living longer and healthier!

1:46 pm

m9f9l

hey!...... mr......tambourine....man!

1:47 pm

m9f9l

1:55 pm

m9f9l

1:58 pm

MPittore

I think that's who's credited with it he said "bless the cracked ones for the let in the light" but others have glommed onto it and tweeked it etc...it's a neat quote I like...

2:00 pm

Roses6

Hi everyone. Have to get in on this knitting discussion. There's a great site I just discovered: www.ravelry.com(?). People do projects and send in their results and comments.

2:01 pm

m9f9l

I have a ravelry account.. never get on there!

2:01 pm

Magyk

I love ravelry!

2:01 pm

MPittore

no but I can knit, crochet, most hand crafts in fact thanks to my grandma and mom...and I thoroughly enjoy gardening and have a pretty nice one...pond, fish, plants, sculptural things....

2:02 pm

MPittore

I even have a really neat garden at our campsite...won a prize even! I love pretty things!

2:02 pm

Roses6

I've gotten so many good ideas from ravelry. Right now I'm knitting a cowl for my mother in law who lives in the windy cold. It's such a pleasure to work on that I'm making one for myself after this. (so many plans!)

2:02 pm

Magyk

I've thought about starting a knitting/baking/gardening blog but am unsure.

2:03 pm

MPittore

ok gotta run... later......

2:03 pm

Roses6

I love gardening too. I think a blog can onlhy be a good idea. Even if no one reads it, which won

2:03 pm

Kazzer99

i can do all of these things but have no time to indulge them if I am going to babble

2:03 pm

Roses6

*won't happen) it's a great way to put together all your interests and find the essential impulses that hold it all together.

2:04 pm

Magyk

I'm on ravelry everyday. You should find me. Magykknitting.

2:04 pm

Roses6

Of course I am a fan of writing as a process, so that's the way I think of a blog, though I know there are other ways that a blog can be rewarding.

2:05 pm

Roses6

Thanks Magyk. I will. I'm tworose there.

Hi Bichon. Now actually, Spring has been rather rainy now that our drought seems to be over at least on the East coast. The weather is OK thru to the end of April with usually only a few days of very high temps. Then again our winters are moderate too - you need to go up the mountains to find snow

3:59 pm

3:59 pm

Dorens

just opened the list, and am amazed at what I had missed!

4:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Say no more. I will list.

4:01 pm

Dorens

most of mine have been plurals, shamed to say. (uh-oh, i was supposed to say no more)

4:01 pm

Pinikula

* puppy pause * (brb to offer aide) :o)

4:01 pm

crosshair

if i cannot get to 50%,i do not list.i tried to be tough and never list till the last 10% but that was a no go

4:02 pm

Dorens

i was downn to about 80, but too much else to do in my life today. wish i had babble expert here, a real time saver

4:03 pm

crosshair

i am not bothering with expert on this computer,the new build will make it obsolete when it is ready anyways

4:03 pm

crosshair

wife has it on our big computer though

4:03 pm

Dorens

i'm on a mac... no choice.... hopeful for the new "improved" site, but we shall see

4:04 pm

crosshair

oh yea..forgot people still use those macs..;)))))))

4:04 pm

bichon

I got a P laptop so I could play Babble Expert

4:06 pm

bichon

*PC

4:06 pm

Dorens

actually, i did get a little acer laptop, but it is so small i find it annoying... can't have more than one window open at a time... have to keep going back and forth.. and i did get it just to play expert... probably today is a day it would have been worth it, but sort of forget about it most of the time

4:07 pm

crosshair

is your mac one of those that has everything inside the display?

4:07 pm

wht

Hey, what did I do, Inge?

4:07 pm

Dorens

not sure what you mean, crossy

4:07 pm

crosshair

an all in one

4:08 pm

crosshair

with the disc drive on the side of the display

4:08 pm

Dorens

yes, i think so. (all except the keyboard)

4:08 pm

wht

I've been lurking here head down in the grid.

4:08 pm

crosshair

screen that is

4:08 pm

Dorens

so why hve you done anything wht?

4:08 pm

crosshair

yep,those are nice,but i like to be able to swop out my fans,add more ram and change hard drives at will

4:09 pm

crosshair

i cannot imagine opening up one of those mac screen;(

4:09 pm

crosshair

would scare cwossy:(

4:09 pm

Dorens

i am far more simple than that crossy... my needs and abilities are nowhere near yours

4:10 pm

Inge said "Thanks, wht a stupid oversight"

4:10 pm

Pinikula

* smile *

4:11 pm

Dorens

yes crossy.. beautiful, and my desk is in my dining room (since that is next to the kitchen, next to the sliding door to my patio and woods...and on the rare occasions when i use my dining room as a dining room, it is more attractive

4:12 pm

crosshair

indeed dorens,i often see them in doctor offices and drool at the display screens

4:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 132 left- kind of too early for me to list actually. Oh these rules.

4:13 pm

Dorens

and the size... i have lickety open to the left, and still have room for a nice big window for the grid and chat!! so my old eyes don't have to strain.

4:13 pm

Dorens

we make these rules for ourselves kap, but if you need to break them once in a while, we won't tell!

4:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Never mind.

4:14 pm

Dorens

+ I'm telling you that adding an s to everything will get you where you want to be

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I prefer the monkeys at this point.

4:15 pm

Dorens

much to be said for monkeys today too

4:20 pm

Dorens

ok, lickety helped me down to 20 left.... time off now.. see you later

4:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Found some cool o words with monkeys- less fun if I hunt for them via lickety

okay, it's been a crazy few months

5:12 pm

i spend far too much time in farmville and frontierville lol

well done, judi ;)

5:12 pm

sadie52

supposed to be doing some work toward getting an awesome job and... here i am!

gotta have some fun though lol

of course, sadie

5:13 pm

how's it coming along, pip?

all in my head, need to get some of it down on paper!

5:15 pm

* wonders how someone finds a job via imagination *

5:15 pm

pippingeek

that's the problem!

5:15 pm

pippingeek

i had to look up a word today so naturally i thought of this crowd

5:15 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

5:16 pm

pippingeek

saw no fewer than 3 restaurant reviews referring to the chef as a "toque"

5:16 pm

Judi

E's evaporated.

5:17 pm

Pinikula

is that good or bad?

5:17 pm

Pinikula

well done, Judi

5:17 pm

pippingeek

apparently that's the new hip synecdoche in reviews right now, to refer to a chef by the fancy name for a chef hat

5:18 pm

pippingeek

i don't think i support it

5:18 pm

Pinikula

interesting...

5:20 pm

Judi

That's rather a stretch, pippingeek. I don't think any chef wants to be referred to as a hat. Next we'll be calling football players "helmets". I don't see it catching on.

5:21 pm

pippingeek

it seemed a little odd to me

5:22 pm

pippingeek

my suspicion is that someone did it and some other reviewer saw it and thought it was a hip fancy word and doesn't know the real meaning

5:22 pm

Pinikula

that's what I was thinking...

5:23 pm

Judi

Could be. In which case, the Editor should stick a fork in it ( or at least red line it for correction).

5:23 pm

Pinikula

that's IF the editor even notices

5:25 pm

Judi

True, Pini. One wonders if knowing English is even a requirement for journalism any more. Our state's one and only paper - "The WIlmington News Journal" is good for several cringes per day.

5:25 pm

pippingeek

sigh. i so want to chat but this creative thinking test is not going to complete itself

5:26 pm

Judi

I think it's actually run by a bunch of 5th graders.

5:26 pm

pippingeek

i think the only smart solution is to turn off the internet for at least a couple hours

5:26 pm

Pinikula

we'll be here when you're ready, pip!

5:26 pm

Pinikula

and to think, judi, those jobs require college degrees...amazing!

5:26 pm

pippingeek

and when i actually finish i can enjoy guilt free babbling!

5:26 pm

Pinikula

(so they tell me anyway)

5:26 pm

pippingeek

maybe even with an awesome job in a fabulous ad agency!

5:27 pm

pippingeek

well, tell everyone i said hi, i'll try to stop in when i've a little work under my belt

5:27 pm

Pinikula

okey dokey!

5:28 pm

Judi

It really kills me, Pini. I have a high school diploma and a year of college. I still have a better mastery of the English language than the BA's and Masters I work with. *Major eye roll*. My boss always gives me stuff to proof read. Makes my head spin to see such remedial errors. And the man is 62! You'd think he would have learned by now.

5:30 pm

Pinikula

Doesn't it just suck, Judi?

5:30 pm

java2

If you're interested in the preservation of the English language, you should join S.P.E.L.L., the Society for the Preservation of English Language and Literature - http://www.spellorg.com.

5:30 pm

Judi

And for that I get paid thousands LESS!

5:31 pm

Hey pini!

8:12 pm

Pinikula

Mark...I'd suggest just working on the small words (4-ltrs) before going for the biggest...

8:12 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks MP!

8:12 pm

lbdawger

hi Pini

8:13 pm

Magyk

hola pinikula!

8:13 pm

Pinikula

...once you get more into the swing of the game and the cluing, you'll be able to figure out clues for the bigger words...

8:13 pm

Mark Jones

I'll try, but those haven't been working for me either;

8:13 pm

MPittore

ok ae4/4 means the word has four letters for a point value of 4...

8:13 pm

mixi6

ty for the di9

8:14 pm

MPittore

I don't pay much attention to the point value...

8:14 pm

Pinikula

Trust your elders, Mark...start small, end big... :)

8:14 pm

Mark Jones

I hate when age gets into this.

8:15 pm

Pinikula

Sorry, but finding small words often gives you the root of larger ones...

8:15 pm

MPittore

I was trying to start you off with an easy set of words to get....don't get frustrated mark we have all been were you are...just relax and have fun it's all about playing the game not necessarily winning...

8:15 pm

Mark Jones

Fine.

8:16 pm

Mark Jones

I will try my best, but it hasn't worked out for me today.

8:16 pm

Pinikula

Now, now, don't get angry...just jump right in and find what you can, attempt to follow clues, but have fun ;)

8:16 pm

lbdawger

just look at the puzzle, type in the words that you see, and work from there.

8:16 pm

LuvWordGames

Eva

compound luv, by the ocean

8:17 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks anyway Eva, that's what usually happens, I find the word after I ask for the clue lol

8:18 pm

Mark Jones

I'm not angry, just a little upset with myself. But ibd, this grid has 272 words! It should be easy!!!

8:18 pm

MPittore

that happens, what I do is look at each letter in the grid and try to make as many 4 letter words in any direction first, then I go thru and try to plural those maybe that can work for you.

8:18 pm

lbdawger

it's a moderate grid. for those of us who have been here forever, for newbies it might be more trying

8:19 pm

Pinikula

Mark, remember you're a youngster...keep playing and it'll get easier and you'll impress your teachers with an increased vocabulary. :o)

8:19 pm

Mark Jones

Well i am a newbie.

8:19 pm

MPittore

sometimes I look for other endings like "ed" or "ier" to add to the words I did find...I just keep typing which we call monkeying...

8:20 pm

MPittore

Mark this is one of the larger grids...so it's not so easy...you are doing fine...

8:20 pm

Mark Jones

I'll try pini, but in the meantime i need to take a shower but then i will be back and hope for some luck. See you in about 20 minutes. Bye!

When I saw the Babble st 5/10 today, I knew I would not finish.I did not finish the grid, but I can't re6/18 doing one of my st7/28. So I thought I would be an as 8/40 and as6/18 with a story of clues. Hubby di 6/21 Babble every day. He does not give one io 4/4 about Babble.It ir4/4 him when I Babble for hours. He really doesn't like huge grids that make my babbling time la 4/4 for hours. But his Farmville also la5/10 for hours. The more I babble the na 7/28 he gets. Hubby always st 5/10 up trouble when I am babbling. Hubby drives me insa4/4 sometimes with his Babble remarks & the nasty looks he se5/12 me.But I find happine4/4 when I Babble though. Sometimes I wish I could just to 4/4 him out. Sometimes I wish he re6/21d else where so I can Babble in peace. Hubby wants the computer. If I do not surre4/5er it to him,he'll cause a ri4/4. Now I am going to go st5/12 up and ri4/4 out of this se 4/4 and go ne 4/4en the kitchen and then I'm going to go downst 6/18 and watch a movie I re 6/18 I re 4/4ed. Then I am going to reti4/4 for the evening. I'm outta here for the re 4/4 of the night. See you all tomorrow

Don't go all Star Trek on me. Were you here for the Shatner conversation this morning?

9:14 pm

Pinikula

change the ce to a cross and you get re9

9:15 pm

Jillyjill

*hypnotic voice* "you love babble, you love babble, you wil go pro, you will go pro.."

9:15 pm

Nef

LOL! "Resistance is futile" indeed! If you like word games this is the best one online (IMHO)

9:15 pm

dan2bit

no I actually don't usually play grids this big, so just popped in to wave at some friends

9:15 pm

Jellen

Hi, Jilly

9:15 pm

Mark Jones

Jilly, I can't go pro because I don't have a credit card number. I tried, but you can't enter without it;

9:16 pm

Jellen

*Waves*

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

bummer

9:16 pm

Pinikula

Mark, you'll just have to either get your parents' permission or hold out until you're older.

9:17 pm

TeaNCrackers

NBT, finally

9:17 pm

Mark Jones

*Sigh*

9:17 pm

Pinikula

well done, TNC

9:17 pm

TeaNCrackers

thank you

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

WTG TnC!! I have 33 left...all the t's ... pie break...bbs

9:18 pm

TeaNCrackers

I have 220 left - smirk

9:18 pm

Mark Jones

If you just started, you will get past me easily. 166 left *frown*

9:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

yes, but I have 5 years on you

9:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

so I konw the goofy little workds to look for

9:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

or words

9:20 pm

TeaNCrackers

and know - my typing is why it takes me so long

9:20 pm

Mark Jones

Again, i hate when age comes into this. I have only done this for 4 days! I'm very sorry if i sound schizophrenic.

9:20 pm

TeaNCrackers

not a problem ;)

9:20 pm

Jellen

It's not age, it's experience...

9:21 pm

Pinikula

you're doing fine for four days and 12 years old...

9:21 pm

TeaNCrackers

right, jellen

9:21 pm

Nef

Mark, just keep plugging away. And on a grid like this don't forget to try adding an S to every word. I miss so many plurals on large grids so many times it isn't funny

9:21 pm

Mark Jones

Four days of experience!

9:21 pm

dcseain

yes, what jellen said. i played for 9 months before i finished a grid.

9:21 pm

TeaNCrackers

I had no idea you were 12 - good for you!

9:21 pm

dcseain

my internet is slow, so i'm not really chatting much right now.

9:21 pm

dcseain

hello, everyone.

9:22 pm

dcseain

i'm in and out, as i'm scrubbing the bathrooms while i play.

9:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi dc

9:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

ewww yuck

9:22 pm

Mark Jones

Thanks Nef. I've gotten five more words already off of that.

9:22 pm

Nef

hi dc. Come clean mine whiole you're at it! ;-)

9:23 pm

Mark Jones

dcs, that is too much information. My teen sense is kicking in here.

9:23 pm

Jellen

Hi, dc...

9:23 pm

dcseain

LOL Nef. i've been working on the one in the back. Egads, it needed it. I don't use that shower -- had no idea.

9:23 pm

dcseain

Mark, i'm in and out, away from computer when scrubbing :)

9:24 pm

dcseain

been waiting for shower to dry to put stuff back so i can get the floor cleaned.

9:24 pm

Nef

Mark, I wouldn't have guessed you were 12 either. Don't let this frustrate you too much; I always frustrate myself by starting huge grids when I don't have the time to finish them. I try, but sometimes life gets too busy

9:25 pm

Mark Jones

I will learn how to finish it in time.

9:25 pm

Pinikula

* adds her name to the waiting list for dc's bathroom cleaning service *

9:25 pm

dcseain

i was proud of my for finding the ae9 all by myself

9:25 pm

Mark Jones

I'm not sure that I want you in my house. No offense, but that would be a little creepy.

9:26 pm

Mark Jones

I can't find ae9.

9:26 pm

dcseain

red alert

9:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

so, my two children who were practically killing each other 20 minutes ago are out in the living room being best of friends -what the heck!

9:26 pm

Nef

I do much better at finishing grids when they are less than 225 words. I like grids that are around the 150-225 word sizes. They usually are much quicker and easier than either larger or smaller grids

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

can someone clue babble god?

9:27 pm

Pinikula

Off to make report...

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

:(

9:36 pm

Mark Jones

Sorry. I got lost for a moment. Weird pop-up;

9:37 pm

Nef

If we were mean to newbies or ignored them; I could understand (sort of) the bad behavior by the rude ones. I wonder why this one played and posted like that?

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

We get those from time to time mark, very irritating...

9:37 pm

Mark Jones

I don't even know how to do that. It seems so mean.

9:37 pm

Pinikula

I think there are those who just think it's funny to figure out how to annoy others...

9:38 pm

dcseain

quite so, pini :/

9:38 pm

It seems so stupid. This person found the words. Couldn't they be happy with it?

9:38 pm

Pinikula

<-- taking break for now, too...

9:39 pm

Nef

It does run in streaks. Most of the time if there is someone like that in chat; I just shrink down my screen so they don't bother me

9:39 pm

dfmchfhf

probably used a script to find it, I'd bet

9:39 pm

crystalle

i am pretty sure bablerox is not a child and i am pretty sure the person who uses that name has been doing the same as gamewrecker

9:40 pm

Mark Jones

I have to go to bed now. School tomorrow. Very ironic, pini. Bye everybody!

9:40 pm

Nef

a script? What do you mean dfm?

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

See you Mark!!

9:40 pm

Nef

Good night, Mark. HAGD tomorrow

9:40 pm

dfmchfhf

I could hack together some javascript or maybe even an extern to parse the grid and find the words... sort of like how Lickety does it, except showing the full word instead of clues.

9:41 pm

dfmchfhf

hi everyone :o)
and bye mark

Sorry, crys, that your good nature has been so abused by a troll. And hopefully Dr. God can keep this troll pest from continuing to create accounts for the purpose of spoiling the chatlog. Me, I just switch over to "who's online" when the troll attacks begin.

dianedecoder

on a smaller scale of course, but still the final game of the football season . Yes :-)

10:00 pm

Okay, I never thought that Canada had their own football leagues, I guess. Now I *know* that hockey is big there; just never thought about Canadian football

10:00 pm

crystalle

10:26 pm

hi, stidgmere :-)

10:26 pm

I think we will stop going there. It's getting too dangerous.

stidgmere

Oh, sorry.

10:26 pm

did you see the parade on TCTV?

10:27 pm

No, not yet. the TCTV had some sort of report about air particulate and health issues.

10:27 pm

Polar, winter dry ice melt

10:28 pm

10:32 pm

Nef

Wow, dc. You haven't listed yet?

10:32 pm

stidmama

I took a nap when we got home... about to turn in again. *yawn* of course the energizer bunny child is still going strong. Nothing like performing to get him going!

10:32 pm

stidgmere

And only an hour left before flip.

10:32 pm

stidmama

I am down to 117 and listless, but fading fast

10:32 pm

Nef

Hi stid and stidg. How are you guys?

10:32 pm

dcseain

i only started about an hour or so ago.

10:33 pm

stidmama

not bad nef, you? how's dh these days?

10:35 pm

stidgmere

I am rarely listless but of course I am using the word in a both the Babble and descriptive forms.

10:35 pm

Nef

Dh is doing very well. I'm calling him my "Miracle Man" because he'sback using a cane most of the time again. It was just 5 months ago that we were told he'd be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life

10:36 pm

stidmama

good for him! and for you! that is a lovely development

10:36 pm

stidmama

LOL Mother!

10:36 pm

dcseain

that's wonderful news, nef, and speaks well to his determination :)

10:37 pm

Nef

his thinking isn't back to normal; but his eyes are better than they've been for the past 3 years. No more hallucinations either

10:37 pm

Nef

stidg, I love your play on words! :-)

10:38 pm

stidmama

hallucinations??? I didn't know about those

10:40 pm

Nef

oh, yeah. That was back in August I think. I thought it was maybe related to the temporary blindness? I don't know

10:40 pm

stidmama

I am glad they are gone now

10:40 pm

Nef

me too! It was a LONG summer!

10:42 pm

stidmama

wow. I hope they don't come back. I think losing eyesight is one of the hardest things.

10:42 pm

stidmama

we use our eyes so much

10:44 pm

Nef

he had both the optic neuritis (which is related to the MS) and also corneal edeam. They think the corneal edema was a side effect of a med he'd been on for 20 years; believe it or not. It came on suddenly and out of the blue; it took a few months to improve

10:45 pm

Creeta

hello all. does anyone have a clue for the first di7?

10:45 pm

stidmama

ah. I see. I know meds can have sudden adverse effects, just seems bizarre when it actually happens. But glad it is improving

10:45 pm

Nef

(BTW, I meant edema, not edeam)

10:46 pm

11:07 pm

I'll never finish -- a mere 225 to go, lol! No time tomorrow either -- a funeral in the morning and bridge in the afternoon (changed from the former Monday night bridge)

oh -- sorry about the funeral

11:08 pm

dianedecoder

and I have to play the piano at the nursing home in the a.m.... it's been a long day here and I think I'll grab my book and head to bed.

11:08 pm

jillibus

A good friend's mother, stid.

11:09 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams diane -- see you again soon

11:09 pm

jillibus

diane -- what are your pies about?

11:09 pm

dianedecoder

night night everyone.... I'll be here some time tomorrow

11:09 pm

stidmama

sadness, jill.

11:09 pm

dcseain

g'night diane

11:10 pm

dianedecoder

LOl... no reason... I just put them up for fun.... let me see.... can I think of a theme ?

11:10 pm

dianedecoder

nite, dc

11:11 pm

jillibus

Yes, stid, sad indeed, but it was time. My friend had been vising her twice a day for years, and watching her decline in awareness, and eventually in health. She was a lovely lady -- i never met her but I heard a lot and she had brought up a great daughter and son.

11:12 pm

jillibus

diane -- so you know about the icon themes? There's a list in my profile.

11:12 pm

dcseain

very sorry to hear, jill

11:12 pm

stidmama

I know how that is, jill. hard to watch that decline, but does soften the death a little. Or has for me.

11:15 pm

jillibus

This friend has many other things to cope with -- her sister has severe MS and now has liver cancer. Her husband has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She herself has post-polio syndrome.

11:15 pm

jillibus

Yet she never complains and is always eager to help others.

11:15 pm

stidmama

oh my. will add them to my list, jill -- for whatever good it does.

11:16 pm

jillibus

Besides, she's FUN!

11:16 pm

jillibus

Thanks, stid.

11:17 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

11:17 pm

stidmama

hey jmc

11:17 pm

jillibus

hi jmc

11:17 pm

stidgmere

Hi jmc and jilli. Just one word short of 100. Surely, I can find one word!

11:17 pm

jmcnrick

struggling jilli?

11:17 pm

dcseain

evening, jmc

11:18 pm

stidmama

go mother go!

11:18 pm

jmcnrick

go mere go

11:18 pm

stidmama

think of red-twig dogwood (genus name I think) OS 5/6 combo

11:18 pm

dcseain

red-twig dogwood?

11:19 pm

jillibus

Hi gmere!

11:19 pm

dcseain

just googled it. never seen it nor heard of it.

11:19 pm

jmcnrick

as opposed to brown twigged dogwood?

11:19 pm

stidmama

yes, there is a red-twig variety and a yellow-twig variety that are shrubs and used widely in landscaping around here. pretty winter color

11:19 pm

stidgmere

Yes, well, I got the 100th word on a to 4 which looks like bread that has been browned but lacking a vowel. Good night to all.

11:19 pm

dcseain

here dogwood is an understory tree, not a shrub, so who knows

11:19 pm

jillibus

WE had re-twig dogwood shrubs back east

11:19 pm

stidmama

well done Mother! see you tomorrow! *hugs*

11:20 pm

jmcnrick

bye stidmere

11:20 pm

stidmama

here also seain -- not the same type as back there, but a nice bright spot on the margins of clearings in the spring and fall

11:20 pm

dcseain

g'night stidgmere

11:20 pm

dcseain

it says they can grow here. I guess they're just uncommon around here

11:20 pm

jillibus

night gmere -- that was brief!

11:21 pm

jmcnrick

253 left

11:21 pm

jillibus

11:22 pm

jmcnrick

i have been sulking for a couple of days

11:22 pm

jillibus

aww, jmc -- why?

11:22 pm

dcseain

oh? is all well, jmc?

11:22 pm

stidmama

(((jmc)))

11:22 pm

jmcnrick

hate thanksgiving especially with my snotty in-laws

11:23 pm

stidmama

then why go?

11:23 pm

jmcnrick

no choice really

11:24 pm

jmcnrick

hubby dead so he can't go

11:24 pm

jillibus

I was just going to ask can you avoid it in future?

11:25 pm

jmcnrick

i avoided it for 2 years because my mother was elderly but now I am stuck

11:25 pm

stidmama

the rat! he gets out of going and you are roped in.

11:26 pm

stidmama

your kid can go... dinner with the grandparents. they love that, right?

11:26 pm

jmcnrick

exactly stiddie! the Bas****!

11:26 pm

stidmama

maybe you have an important meeting that day...

11:26 pm

dcseain

that rather sucks.

11:26 pm

jmcnrick

lol hard to work out a meeting on thanksgiving

11:26 pm

jillibus

why don't you like them, jmc?

11:27 pm

stidmama

you can have a meeting with me, eh? we'll meet online so you don't have to travel, but no way out of it.

11:27 pm

jmcnrick

for years i avoided it by spending it with my friend susan at homeless sholters but she died the year before my hubby

11:27 pm

jillibus

Oh, the meeting could be in Montreal -- no Thanksgiving there in November.

11:27 pm

stidmama

we'll even have witnesses. usually 50 or more people hanging around lurking in our usual meeting location...

11:27 pm

jmcnrick

that is the sad part jilli -- i do like them except in a large clump

11:27 pm

stidmama

ah! tres excellent jill!

11:28 pm

jmcnrick

good plan jilli!

11:28 pm

jillibus

hmmm, that's a shame, jmc

11:29 pm

jmcnrick

for a while I dealt with it by meeting one of them on boxing day and another on christmas eve but then they started invitig the world and we were all right back at the immediate family gathering of 60

11:30 pm

jillibus

Yikes!

11:30 pm

stidmama

*shudder* I don't like big family gatherings...

11:30 pm

stidmama

I don't like any group bigger than 10-15

11:30 pm

jmcnrick

sadly i am not exageratigin

11:31 pm

stidmama

down to piano keys and my eyes are hurting.

11:31 pm

jmcnrick

the three sisters (my mil and sisters) and their cousin and all of the descendants

11:32 pm

jmcnrick

piano keys?

11:32 pm

jillibus

Oh, that business meeting in Montreal is sounding more urgent all the time

11:32 pm

stidmama

see you-all the next time I can get away from being responsible. *poof*

11:32 pm

dcseain

and Montreal is such a lovely city

11:33 pm

dcseain

g'night stid

11:33 pm

jmcnrick

to top it all of I went into the common room at the hotel and one of the cousin descendents was singing a song in support of no control on hand guns -- hunting I get hand guns *shudder*

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

bye stiddie

11:34 pm

jillibus

night stid -- good to see you

11:35 pm

jillibus

<-- shaking head sadly

11:35 pm

dcseain

i live in an open carry state. *shrug*

11:36 pm

jillibus

I live in Canada *smile*

11:36 pm

jmcnrick

so I asked if she had a song about the two brothers who got into a fight and one killed the other because a gun was handy and .... well.... the conversation deteriorated

11:36 pm

dcseain

go you! :)

11:37 pm

jillibus

good for you, jmc

11:37 pm

jmcnrick

a good retort but not conducive to family harmony

11:38 pm

jmcnrick

and the night before i got into a fight with my nephew the marine (I called him gutless)

11:38 pm

jillibus

neither was the idiotic song

11:38 pm

dcseain

you were likely correct about that, jmc

11:38 pm

jmcnrick

true jilli i did n't think of it that way

11:39 pm

jmcnrick

so I have been going to bed with jack instead of babble

11:39 pm

jillibus

babble is better sometimes

11:40 pm

dcseain

and they are not mutually exclusive

11:40 pm

jmcnrick

usually jilli but i was so angry i did n't think i would be good company

11:40 pm

jmcnrick

lol dc true so true

11:41 pm

jillibus

babble can soothe

11:41 pm

jmcnrick

it didn't help that wedsday or thursday jacula chewed my ass for random reasons

11:42 pm

jillibus

well, take jac with a grain of salt, or tune out.

11:43 pm

jmcnrick

i tried as I think jac is a good person who occassionally unintentioanlly lashed out

11:44 pm

jmcnrick

so anyway that is my tale of woe

11:44 pm

jmcnrick

lower right S?

11:44 pm

jillibus

I think Johnnie Walker (or somebody) makes her lash out.

11:44 pm

dcseain

plural of table sa4

11:45 pm

dcseain

indeed so, jilli

11:45 pm

jmcnrick

i suspect you are correct jilli

11:53 pm

crystalle

11:54 pm

herinfernallady

O. I guess what I mean is sometimes names are different in different cultures

11:54 pm

herinfernallady
