1:17 am
jillibus
g'night flosey
1:17 am
flosey
happy happy hour?
1:18 am
jillibus
I have far too many words to find, flosey -- but could you drop a hint for any fo word? I can't see even one of them.
1:19 am
jillibus
Yes, very nice as always, but I'm tired, not tiddly.
1:19 am
flosey
there are 4 of them, same word and plural - except drop a vowel from the middle
1:19 am
flosey
sounds like a Telus
1:19 am
flosey
instrument
1:20 am
flosey
sorry, let that go before I was finished
1:20 am
flosey
begins as enemy
1:21 am
jillibus
ah, got that fo4 -- ty flosey -- and now the first fo5. Not exactly everyday words.
1:22 am
flosey
I have it on a list of words not familiar to me
1:22 am
flosey
the fo5 add another vowel
1:22 am
flosey
that's where the enemy comes in
1:23 am
jillibus
I should make that babblet list
1:23 am
flosey
comes in handy
1:23 am
jillibus
I have them all now, thx
1:24 am
jillibus
oh, only 79 more, lol!
1:24 am
flosey
I skipped the pot luck supper tonight and so glad I did, sorry to miss it but was very tired
1:24 am
pugmama763
help for the SN6 please?
1:24 am
jillibus
off you go to bed -- sleep well!
1:25 am
jillibus
soyy, pug -- don't have it.
1:25 am
flosey
when someone misses an easy clue, the might say G****
1:26 am
flosey
that's the sn6
1:26 am
pugmama763
I'm lost dear
1:26 am
flosey
sorry, not an easy one to clue
1:26 am
jillibus
pls forgive my typing -- must have burnt my left index fingertip -- can't use it to hit keys.
1:27 am
pugmama763
that & PE6/21 are my last 2
1:27 am
pugmama763
hate to go to bed with 2 left is all
1:28 am
flosey
it could be a word spelled backwards, almost
1:28 am
flosey
sh*** and plural
1:28 am
flosey
you might admire the sh*** of a fabric
1:29 am
pugmama763
ty & good god
1:29 am
pugmama763
what a crazy word
1:29 am
flosey
strange one
1:29 am
flosey
what is your other one
1:29 am
jillibus
but that's a sh, not an sn...
1:29 am
pugmama763
sounds like a Dr Seusse character
1:29 am
jillibus
I'm lost
1:30 am
pugmama763
got it from that clue though
1:30 am
jillibus
I'm too old for Seuss ans so is my son :-(
1:31 am
jillibus
well, has ruru been here? if so, pu4 must have been his first word
1:31 am
flosey
starts like not a cough but a sn**ze
1:32 am
pugmama763
sn + double vowel + a cod or carp is a fi**
1:32 am
flosey
and you might say oh **it!
1:32 am
flosey
much better clue pugs
1:33 am
pugmama763
was a tough one to clue
1:33 am
pugmama763
PE6/21? for fireworks ?
1:34 am
jillibus
ah, ty, got the sn -- don't worry, flosey, that's what I thought you meant but I couldn't work it out.
1:34 am
dfmchfhf
PE6/21 thought
1:34 am
flosey
writing implements + do you *** what I ***
1:34 am
pugmama763
ty vm flose
1:35 am

1:36 am
pugmama763
perhaps .... senility & all
1:36 am
pugmama763
my brain is like teflon , very little sticks
1:36 am
dfmchfhf
it's a French loanword.
1:36 am
flosey
lol, good one pugs
1:37 am
jillibus
means a thought -- should have an acute accent over the penultimate letter
1:37 am
dfmchfhf
more often a reflection.
1:37 am
flosey
now there's a word, jilli!!
1:37 am

thax Haz will have a good look
3:17 am
Haz1558
No problem, how's your weather today?
3:18 am
FMitch
Good morning!
3:18 am
Haz1558
Hello, FM!
3:18 am
FMitch
How are you today?
3:19 am
Haz1558
I'm well - and yourself?
3:20 am
FMitch
Not too bad, we had a big thaw overnight.
3:20 am
Haz1558
That's good! We're definitely warmer although there's a bit of fog rolling in.
3:22 am
FMitch
It got very foggy last night and there is a bit of mist around this morning.
Hows the grid facing up today?
3:22 am
Haz1558
It's a nice one so far.
3:23 am

oh good :) I am battling with sucky duck at the moment - just not seeing the numbers today.

rubyfoo
hello everybody
3:59 am
rubyfoo
we had another 6-8 in of snow last night, so we're up to about 3 1/2 ft and it's extremely cold, but sunny, today
4:06 am
rubyfoo
all alone in the Arctic north!
4:14 am
Jivingjenny0
Hi Ruby I live near Oxford England and we are fairly free of snow, but my elderly brother who lives in Stoke is snowed in and can't open the gate to let anyone else in either.
4:14 am
Sally-catlover
Hi ruby, everyone
4:14 am
rubyfoo
hello sally!!
4:15 am
rubyfoo
we've had no mail, newspapers or cable TV since Tuesday! And more than 3 1/2 feet of snow
4:15 am
rubyfoo
it's a French record; the most snow since 1957!
4:16 am
rubyfoo
fortunately, a friend dug us out so we got provisions on Thursday; otherwise we'd be out of stuff
4:16 am
Sally-catlover
Ruby, saw looking through the chog the other day that you dare not go out because of your steps. I bought some Yaktrax last year and they are absolutely invaluable. I believe you can now get them on Amazon (they fit on your boots or shoes). I also have some Yetis I ordered from Switzerland.
4:17 am
Jivingjenny0
my daughter's a school teacher and was releived that there wasn't too much snow as she is in the middle of rehearsals for the nativity play - then the boiler broke and with boiling water pouring out and no heating the school was closed!!
4:17 am
rubyfoo
good ideas (I wouldn't expect less of you!), thanks
4:17 am
rubyfoo
like crampns for mountain climbing
4:18 am
rubyfoo
and naturally, no trash pickup, either.
4:18 am
Sally-catlover
I am very scared normally on snow and ice, but stride confidently over to the bit fat feathery birds three times a day. (grin, just stopped myself going in the PB)
4:18 am
Sally-catlover
sorry, bit sb big
4:18 am
rubyfoo
considering we're in the mountains, you'd think they would make provisions for mail delivery at least
4:19 am
Sally-catlover
I'll email you the links later if you are interested.
4:19 am
rubyfoo
it is very hard to feed the birds and to get the dogs to go out to poop -- I have to keep tramping down the snow and making paths for poor Max
4:19 am
rubyfoo
yes, thank you
4:20 am
rubyfoo
the array of birds is fabulous!
4:20 am
rubyfoo
and now they come up on the deck by the kitchen, even closer than the feeder
4:20 am
Sally-catlover
Well wearing these I have no problems at all, the the birds really need it more than ever. Also I keep their bird bath unfrozen.
4:20 am
rubyfoo
husband feeds them 3 or 4 times a day but don't they eat snow for water?
4:21 am
rubyfoo
If not, I had better put our bowls for them
4:21 am
Sally-catlover
No, they need water to bathe in as well as drink.
4:21 am
rubyfoo
big bowls, then
4:22 am
Sally-catlover
We use a planter, about 18 inches across and fairly shallow. We put a stone in so they can stand on that as well as the edge.
4:23 am
rubyfoo
another good "sally idea"
4:24 am
Sally-catlover
ruby, have you heard anything about NB? There was talk in the chog the other day that something might have befallen him, but the poster was being very coy about exactly what, so we don't know if he is ill, has had an accident, or what. We hope he is all right.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
have heard nothing but maybe he is having boyfriend trouble.....
4:25 am
rubyfoo
what abut Sandyloo? Have you seen her?
4:25 am
Sally-catlover
It didn't quite sound like that.
4:26 am
Sally-catlover
No, nothing from Sandyloo. I had a strange email which implied that her address book had been compromised, and emailed her to tell her, but have heard nothing.
4:26 am
rubyfoo
I'll try to e-mail her as well; I miss her as she is very smart and funny
4:27 am
rubyfoo
this is a nice grid but at 73 words, I seem to have hit a small wall and without a stile!
4:27 am
Sally-catlover
We were saying the other day that there is no mechanism for telling our Babble friends if we drop off the branch or get incapacitated or what. It would never occur to my husband to post a message on Babble or anywhere else if something happened to me.
4:28 am
Sally-catlover
I have only started ruby, so only have 19 words!
4:30 am
rubyfoo
I feel that way about FB. One of my friends died and I didn't know it for weeks but then saw all kinds of memorials on his page...Very sad.
4:30 am
rubyfoo
I think there is a service available that notifies everybody in your address book. I'll ask my techie son about it; he would certainly know
4:30 am
Sally-catlover
Oh that is sad ruby. Mind you a friend of mine had a new grandchild and had her mobile switched off, so only knew about it on FB!
4:31 am
rubyfoo
that's actually funny....
4:31 am
Sally-catlover
In your address book, yes, and I think my husband would certainly send an email. I suppose someone like you (who is in my address book) could put a notice on Babble!
4:32 am
rubyfoo
happily, the (not-very-good) Italian restaurant in the village is open. My husband wouldn't have a clue how to do it
4:32 am
rubyfoo
he is not exactly adept at computer stuff, barely takes care of credit cards and bank that way
4:33 am
Sally-catlover
Oh well, we'll just have to live for ever!
4:33 am
rubyfoo
I'm trying!
4:33 am
rubyfoo
did I tell you that we didn't go to Lausanne after all? And did you like the silly joke?
4:34 am
rubyfoo

Just found the 8s all by myself. (Proud). No-one to share it with, but never mind.
4:42 am

yay Sally!

Someone woke up!

Sally-catlover
Hi FM.
4:42 am
FMitch
Good morning :)
4:43 am
Sally-catlover
I take it no news of NB?
4:44 am
FMitch
'fraid not.
4:45 am
Sally-catlover
I see one of Peter Pan's enemies is in the grid.
4:46 am
FMitch
lol I haven't even started yet and I can't stay to chat as I have to get some things done :( Might see you later.
4:46 am
Sally-catlover
Just got to half way, but a fairly small grid really. Yes, see you later if poss.
5:29 am
Soodle
Hello. Anybody out there?
5:29 am
Sally-catlover
Hi Soodle! Just monkeying my last word.
5:30 am
Soodle
Oh, well done, Sally. It seems to be a friendly little grid.
5:30 am
Sally-catlover
Yes it is, my last word was not a weird one, just an invisible one!
5:31 am
Soodle
Ah yes. The invisible words. I am very familiar with them!
5:31 am
Sally-catlover
I don't think there is a single word that I haven't either used normally or come across in Babble before. Some rather odd past tenses, but that's normal!
5:32 am
Sally-catlover
The 8s were particularly easy to find, which was nice.
5:33 am
Soodle
Oh goody. I have 45 left, which I will leave for later. Sally, I haven't heard a word from NB either, and I am a little bit concerned.
5:34 am
Sally-catlover
Is he someone you have contact with on FM, MSN or email or whatever, away from Babble?
5:34 am
Sally-catlover
Sorry, not taking FM's name in vain! That should be FB.
5:35 am
Soodle
Well, thats the thing. I was connected with him on Yahoo, but either he blocked me, or I blocked myself, unwittingly. Either way, I can't contact him. Its a bit worrisome.
5:37 am
Sally-catlover
I do know that the original message was posted by JC to another Babbler, along the lines of have you heard the awful news (paraphrasing here) and it was obvious it was about NB. I know JC has had some issues with some other Babblers, but I don't think NB has, and if he (NB) is ill, or worse, I can't imagine why it is so secret!
5:39 am
Sally-catlover
Unfortunately I don't particularly have contact with NB's contacts, if you know what I mean. Just concerned for a fellow Babbler, not just curious. Can't see why there just can't be a simple message to say he is ill, no details needed.
5:40 am
Soodle
I know NB is an extremely private person, for all his chatter on Babble. JC is a very good friend of his, and is very protecive of him. But I agree - I think everybody here is very fond of NB, and wish him nothing but the best.
5:42 am
Sally-catlover
NB strikes me as very young and vulnerable, but very sweet natured.
5:42 am
herinfernallady
Soodle Hi. I just wanted to say sorry to hear about your pup
5:43 am
Soodle
Oh thank you, Herin. We are still grieving here.....It was a dreadful thing to happen.
5:43 am
Sally-catlover
Yes, indeed Soodle. I was very sorry too.
5:44 am
Soodle
Thanks Sally.
5:44 am
herinfernallady
I also have heard no word as to whether NB is safe or what ever. I am not interested in the details. Just want to know if he is safe
5:45 am
Soodle
Maybe if NB or any of his friends read through the chat log, they might just pass ou our very best wishes to him.
5:46 am
Sally-catlover
Seconded Soodle.
5:46 am
herinfernallady
Soddle my pets are very dear to me and they received the cuddles for you
5:47 am
Soodle
Thanks Herin. Buster was the most exuberant (sp?) little dog I ever met. He was just so full of life and fun, it is still impossible to take in that he was taken so quickly from us.
5:47 am
Sally-catlover
I must be off to do some other things. Do you need any clues?
5:48 am
herinfernallady
I have no idea what happened to Buster only he is not here now
5:48 am
Soodle
Not yet, thanks Sally. You have a good day.
5:49 am
herinfernallady
Thanks Sally.
5:49 am
herinfernallady
On a funny note I got high as a kite of a cold pill today. I entertained myself for hours laughing at nothing
5:49 am
Soodle
Herin, we have about 3 feet of snow here. I was standing out at our gate, watching the cars crawling by, when a maniac in a pick-up sped up the road. Just at the wrong time, poor little Buster ran out onto the road. It was awful. I am just grateful that it was instant.
5:51 am
Soodle
Gawd! I could do with a couple of those pills, Herin. I could use a good laugh right now!
5:51 am
Sally-catlover
*gone* then, bye all for now.
5:53 am
herinfernallady
O Soodle. THat is terrible. I am glad that you were not hit though
5:55 am
Soodle
Herin - thank you. I better go now, and get stuff done. Take care ((Herin))
5:55 am

yes, the new xray showed pneumonia shrinking. perhaps having breathing difficulty was good inthis case, because some folks would have walked around with it for a while and it would have been more entrenched - if that makes se5.

cosdem
I really hate people today
5:38 pm
cosdem
present company excluded of course
5:39 pm
cosdem
unless u were one of the idiots at the stores i went to today lol
5:39 pm
Kazzer99
fireworks for me - been lurking about a bit
5:45 pm
MollyL
Cos, I have such low tolerance for mindless people in stores. That's why I mainly shop on line, or at the early sales.
5:46 pm
cosdem
wal-mart (i rarely go there except for my rx's.) had huge displays in the middle of the aisles so as crowded as the store was the displays made it worse.. narrow walking space and even narrower if you have a cart.. and there was this couple who had their arms over each other while pushing their cart single handedly
5:46 pm
cosdem
and then i went to the local thrift store and i used my coupon she said this coupn isnt valid..im like "YOU GAVE THIS TO ME LAST WEEK. YOU."
5:47 pm
cosdem
she said "Oh no. you're lying"
5:47 pm
cosdem
so i ripped up my membership card in front of her and dumped everything in my cart (100 worth) on her counter.. and walked out.
5:48 pm
cosdem
then the grocey store had a sale on caser's dog food.. original price- 1.00 each.. sale price? 32 cents each.. the aisle was packed with dumb people shoving each other.
5:48 pm
cosdem
days like this makes me understand why some people hate christmas lol
5:48 pm
cosdem
im done :)
5:49 pm
MollyL
Our K-Mart is the same way. Barely any room to get your cart around the store. What's up with that. My biggest problem with shopping anywhere are people who feel the need to bring four kids shopping with them.
5:51 pm
cosdem
and letting them run amock
5:53 pm
Pinikula
...and we're going to the National Championship!!!!
5:54 pm

Hello All....
6:02 pm
MollyL

6:02 pm
redturtlehead

Coincidence?
6:04 pm

6:06 pm
MollyL
Good for you for taking a cab Cos.
6:07 pm
dfmchfhf
(by the way, hi all :o) )
I'm fine, I guess... definitely not avoiding you, you don't ne4 to worry about that!
6:07 pm
MollyL
Red that is cool that your folks have a farm. What kind?
6:08 pm
redturtlehead
right now nothing there, they occasionally put out Hay in the fields. they are of course aging and not farmers (retired Professor and librarian...) so they have trees, hay, an old mill...

6:17 pm
redturtlehead
How is everyone doing in the cold? We are not warm here either...
6:18 pm
dfmchfhf
it's not cold enough here, any precipitation liquefies during the day and solidifies during the night, and we have so much ice... :o(
6:18 pm
MollyL
I'm liking our temperatures here. Cold enough in the morning to feel like Winter, warmer in the afternoon. No snow, no freaking ice. Dear Lord, let it stay that way.
6:19 pm
dfmchfhf
wishing the temperature could make up its mind and go one way or the other...
6:19 pm
redturtlehead
i had a lot of issue with the 38-40 degrees this morning,...
6:20 pm
redturtlehead
its snowing in NC, quite a bit, so I figured it would be everywhere, but I guess not!!
6:23 pm
MollyL
Ooo, must see if my sister has snow. She loves snow.
6:23 pm
dfmchfhf

6:23 pm
redturtlehead
oooh sorry dfm, will spell things out for Northern Neighbors...

6:29 pm
Jeff7
lake effect snows are different
6:29 pm
Jeff7

6:29 pm
redturtlehead

JBV
hi Riverdance
6:51 pm
MollyL
Hello JBV, how are you doing? I hope you still have folks rallying around, lending you support.
6:52 pm
JBV
thanks, Molly - but you know what? I'm kind of glad they all left (today) - I needed a moment or two of quiet time - it was great while they were here but it was a constant hubbub and that's not my style, I'm really OK
6:52 pm
JBV
and thank you so much for asking
6:53 pm
herinfernallady
JBV I don't know if you heard my condolences or not so once again BIG SQUISHY HUGS.
6:54 pm
Riverdance
Ihave not heard what is going on with you JBV but wish you the best
6:54 pm
MollyL
I understand JBV. There are parts of all this that you need to deal with on your own. Just be very gentle with yourself as you work through it. And never hesitate to reach out when you need someone.
6:54 pm
JBV
oh, herin, thank you so much - I really love hearing that
6:54 pm
JBV
River, we just buried my husband yesterday, still dealing with that new reality
6:55 pm
Riverdance
oh JBV - so sorry to hear that - ((HUGS)) and comfort through all this
6:56 pm
mcurlschool
hugs and good thoughts for you during this tough time river.
6:56 pm
mcurlschool
sorry I meant that for JBV
6:56 pm
JBV
we do have a good network of support and that is priceless - I have enough food in the house to feed an army - fortunately my son has a good appetite :)
6:56 pm
JBV
thank you mcurl
6:56 pm
mcurlschool
but hugs and good thoughts for everyone else as well;-)
6:57 pm
Riverdance
good that you have him around
6:58 pm
JBV
oh yes, we are taking turns at supporting each other - I think he needs more TLC than I do right now -
6:58 pm
Dorens
(((jbv))))
6:58 pm
MollyL
JBV, I'm glad you and your son have each other to lean on. That is a precious thing when you are wading through difficulty.
6:59 pm
JBV
oh, hello, Doren - I guess you heard - this has not been entirely unexpected, but always a shock nevertheless
6:59 pm
Dorens
wiahing you well during this sad time, j.
6:59 pm
herinfernallady
JB how old is your son?
6:59 pm
JBV
he's 26 - sometimes a boy, sometimes a man - mostly just confused right now
6:59 pm
Dorens
yes... emailed you on gmail account from last year, maybe you didn't get?
7:00 pm
dfmchfhf
Hi Dorens :o)
7:00 pm
JBV
oh, thanks, Doren - I haven't checked that account, will do so now.....
7:00 pm
Riverdance
hello dorens
7:00 pm
Dorens
hi river, df, herin, et al
7:00 pm
Dorens
took Phoebe to the nutcracker ballet today in boston. such fun
7:01 pm
herinfernallady
And at that age Jb he does need all the support he can get. So do you.
7:01 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Dorens
7:02 pm
Riverdance
oh how nice Dorens - always a great show
7:02 pm
Dorens
i am such a child myself... my favorite ballet
7:03 pm
java2
JBV, Condolences; it's never easy to lose someone; you and your son need each other now. Talk to each other, remember the fun times, laugh together. That will all help to keep his dad (and your husband) alive in your hearts.
7:04 pm
Dorens
but lost my cell phone there while leaving. some strange person picked it up, called my sister, but didn't seem to understand much, and hasn't called back or answered the phone since
7:04 pm
JBV
doren, I just replied to your email...
7:04 pm
Dorens
and i lost my wallet earlier this week.. not having good karma this week
oh, ok thanks j will check
7:05 pm
JBV
a friend of mine lost a cell phone in Cape May, someone found it but she had already returned to Puerto Rico - they mailed it to her!!
7:05 pm
Bugsaw
I just arrived and read about your loss JBV. I am so sorry and wish the hugs and comfort we offer were not just virtual hugs. I am glad you have your son
7:05 pm
JBV
thank you very much, Java - we cried a lot but also laughed a lot this week - we have a lot of good memories (33 years together) -
7:06 pm
herinfernallady
O Dorens. Opps.
7:06 pm
Dorens
ok jbv read and responded... whenever you're ready.
7:06 pm
stidmama
(((JBV))) hey all
7:06 pm
Dorens
hi stidders
7:06 pm
JBV
thank you Bugsaw, so glad for this Babble support - you are all wonderful
7:06 pm
JBV
and hi stidmama!
7:07 pm
dfmchfhf
hi stid :o)
7:07 pm
Dorens
and the strange thing is that even tho it is cyberspace et al, when we share food and drinks there are no calories, but when we share feelings they are real.
7:07 pm
Bugsaw
hi stid. Is your eldest still alive today? he has had a bad week
7:07 pm
stidmama
(((JBV))) (yes, again) I am so glad to see you here. Just read the log...
7:07 pm
JBV
very true, Doren
7:07 pm
stidmama
LOL yes Bugs, as far as I know. He went to a speech tournament today
7:08 pm
Bugsaw
good to hear it
7:08 pm
stidmama
and he is feeling VERY chastened about not calling the one day AND about leaving the laptop to be stolen the following day.
7:08 pm
Dorens
hopefully he will make it home after the tournament. intact..
7:08 pm
Dorens
he can add his laptop to my wallet and droid!
7:09 pm
java2
JBV, 33 years is a lot to be grateful for.
7:09 pm
stidmama
I think he'll be okay -- he used to do the debate things, but this year is doing more speech events.
7:09 pm
stidmama
so I see Doren, I hope that you will recover both of those
7:09 pm
herinfernallady
Stid did Stid Kid the eldest lose his things?
7:09 pm
stidmama
how was the nutcracker with the princess?
7:10 pm
JBV
Oh, yes, absolutely, java - we had some great times
7:10 pm
Dorens
i havd just about given up on the wallet.. was cheered today when my sister said this person called her from the phone (guess hers is the last number i dialed), but now no more contact. The nutcracker was sublime... not sure if it was worth losing the droid, but it was great
7:11 pm
JBV
can your sister call back the number she was called from?
7:11 pm
stidmama
well, phones can be replaced -- can't they track it for you?
7:11 pm
Dorens
a very emotional and sensitive 7th graderlost her grandmother this week. She spent much time in my office, telling me about her grandmther and what made her so special, and she agreed with me that she was lucky to have had her, even if not forever.
7:11 pm
stidmama
but it's annoying to be without one, I know.
7:12 pm
stidmama
it's hard to lose someone at any age
7:12 pm
Dorens
she was called from my phone... yes phones can be replaced... droids are mucho dinero, however, and I had special pictures, as well as phone numbers, etc on it
7:12 pm
herinfernallady
My new next door neighbours were burgled. They lost a lot of stuff. Thankfully the robbers locked their dog in a bedroom. I told her that it scares me to lose things but it frightens me more to think my cats may be hurt
7:13 pm
Dorens
the thing is that when someone was very special, when the memories are such good ones, it helps to be grateful for having had that special person, special relationship, knowing that many others never had that
7:13 pm
Riverdance
I understand that herin - my dogs (labs) would let any come in the house, pet them and that are happy - take what you want but pet me before you leave
7:13 pm
stidmama
I know -- we were pricing droids last month to replace the one I am currently using. Decided to stick with this one for now! (It's the first "edition" and works fine if not so flashy)
7:14 pm
stidmama
LOL River! I had a dog like that once. Or rather, my parents did.
7:14 pm
herinfernallady
Labs think with their stomach
7:14 pm
stidmama
I have a UN 8 that is sort of undoing a net.... is there another U 8 and if so clue please?
7:14 pm
Riverdance
I still use the verizon free phone I got years ago - frugal me wont pay for all those extra services so why get the phone
7:15 pm
herinfernallady
I had to swap my phones over due to one not working. I feel your frustration Dorens. I lost some important sms on there
7:15 pm
Riverdance
havent listed yet so dont know what there is = 43 left and counting
7:16 pm
stidmama
I actually use the phone's data stream to get email from anywhere -- I can't get actual cell phone service at my home but we have wifi -- and away from home the cell towers stream the data. So I am ALWAYS available by email, but not always by phone! LOL
7:16 pm
MollyL
I use my cell phone to make calls. And very few of those. I have the most stripped down version there is. I shake my head when I see people milling about with their cell phones glued to their ears. They are missing so much of life.
7:16 pm
stidmama
I am down to 42 listles
7:16 pm
stidmama
or listless
7:16 pm
stidmama
since I never know where I will be, this is a way for my children or tom to always be able to reach me
7:17 pm
Riverdance
I hear you Molly - my cell is for emergency calls for the most part - mostly kids for pick ups
7:19 pm
Dorens
phoebe wants to spell her name n here before i bring her upstairs to put her to sleep..
7:19 pm
herinfernallady
Molly I am like that. I would love to get an iphone but the costs associated with the added data is nuts
7:19 pm
herinfernallady
HI Phoebe
7:19 pm
stidmama
okay phoebe! *waves* go for it!
7:19 pm
MollyL
I just can't figure out why I would want to read books or watch movies on that tiny screen.
7:20 pm
Riverdance
Hello Phoebe
7:20 pm
stidmama
Excellent! now sweet dreams *stern mama look*
7:20 pm
herinfernallady
NIght Night Phoebe
7:20 pm
Riverdance
good night Phoebe
7:20 pm
stidmama
even better. doren, you are SO lucky!
7:21 pm
stidmama
good night Phoebe
7:22 pm
MollyL
Herin, your icon is GORGEOUS. What a lovely picture.
7:24 pm
herinfernallady
Thanks Molly. That is a windows pic
7:25 pm
MollyL
Being a Pagan by nature, I am a tree lover. So I love pictures of trees. Especially pictures of trees with mist involved.
7:26 pm
redturtlehead
I have returned briefly. I must soon get in the bed....but. 55 left, I would like to get a few more.
7:26 pm
herinfernallady
YAH Hello fellow Pagan
7:26 pm
stidmama
hey red!
7:26 pm
stidmama
JBV disappeared...
7:27 pm
redturtlehead
I was waiting for dfm to make an appearance!!! how timely.
7:28 pm
Bugsaw
Stid, did you get the other un8 word? it just has a different ending
7:28 pm
redturtlehead
I just finally upgraded to a phone that texts this year, I do love it.
7:28 pm
stidmama
oh gee -- so it does! thanks bugs!
7:28 pm
herinfernallady
I have to go and make a cake soon AND hang out the laundry
7:29 pm
stidmama
that is a sweet icon pic today bugs!
7:29 pm
stidmama
my younger son texts constantly (so I am glad at home we have no service) -- it sure is nice to have them be "literate" -- LOL
7:30 pm
Bugsaw
I thot so so I am leaving it there during the holiday
7:30 pm
redturtlehead
I do enjoy reading in english as well...
7:31 pm
stidmama
i m sure u cn rd this 2, red!
7:31 pm
redturtlehead
Oh no dog is putting himself to bed in my bed...
7:31 pm
stidmama
*grin* good dog!
7:31 pm
MollyL
I have never been able to figure out the appeal of texting. I would much rather have a real conversation with someone.
7:31 pm
redturtlehead
I can. but I admit when I text I dont abbreviate much. I had to get the full keyboard.
7:32 pm
redturtlehead
There are many time Molly when talking is not so approriate. We actually text back and forth at work all the time...
7:32 pm
stidmama
I don't either -- LOL and semi-emoticons are about as textish as I like to use.
7:33 pm
redturtlehead
But I am a bit antisocial and have always hated the phone, it can be so interruptive.
7:33 pm
stidmama
I have a research study I found that looked at collaborative learning in high school students. Students who worked on a project in real time together in person were more often off-task than the students working collaboratively but communicating through text. pretty interesting.
7:33 pm
stidmama
I don't like phones myself...
7:33 pm
redturtlehead
wow. I would have thought the opposite Stid!!!
7:34 pm
MollyL
I guess it's because I'm a writer and a photographer by hobby. If I was constantly glued to a tiny screen, I would miss my inspiration.
7:34 pm
stidmama
the researchers seemed a little surprised, too! :-D
7:35 pm
stidmama
There is a time and a place for texting, and a time and a place for oral communication, and ... (you get the idea)
7:35 pm
stidmama
I would prefer to usually communicate by choclit myself... *wicked mama grin*
7:35 pm
redturtlehead
sings the byrds, turn turn turn... to everything...
7:36 pm
MollyL
There are a lot of variables in that study Stid. For instance, are students so engrossed in communicating by text that they have lost effective one on one communication skills?
7:37 pm
redturtlehead
Magic game on and with 4 stars out for a stomach virus, I must run off to encourage.
7:37 pm
stidmama
hold on, I will get you that reference. It is just one study, but generally speaking other studies demonstrate increased literacy in traditional areas when students are also literate in digital literacies.
7:37 pm
herinfernallady
Ok I am off for a while
7:38 pm
MollyL
Okay, that is a whole different premise. And I can see the validity in that. Increased literacy in all areas would produce a more effective person.
7:39 pm
stidmama
:-D citation in my profile Molly
7:39 pm
stidmama
not sure if you can access the article without an account...
7:41 pm
stidmama
later lady!
7:41 pm
stidmama
down to 30 words now.
7:43 pm
stidmama
I think I'll go play with lights. I got Tom involved in putting up outside lights, and now every light in the box must go up... LOL getting ready for St. Nicholas day. It's a celebration that we won't have much longer, methinks.
7:43 pm
stidmama
*micro poof*

Nope, can't access it. Interesting idea for a study though. It's almost like speculating on whether or not bi-lingual kids are more effective in certain situations than kids who only know one language.

stidgmere
Hi, missed the dialogue about literacy and computers. Bet mama tells me about it either on the phone or in person.
8:19 pm
MollyL
Allo Gran Mere. How was your day?
8:20 pm
stidgmere
My day was quiet. I made barley soup (it almost makes itself.) Watched some of the college football games. Husband is keeping his foot up today after having an ingrown toenail worked on yesterday.
8:22 pm
MollyL
Yum to barley soup. That is so good in the cold weather. Ouch! Ingrowns hurt. I'm glad Gran Pere has had his taken care of.
8:23 pm
stidgmere
Sometimes one has to tend to things because they don't repair themselves.
8:26 pm
MollyL
Comments like that are why I could sit in your kitchen, learn how to cook better and hear sage advice. Bless you Gran Mere. Stid is lucky to have you as her Mama.
8:35 pm
stidgmere
MollyL you are too kind but you're welcomed to my kitchen while we both learn new things.
8:37 pm
MollyL
That would be so much fun Gran Mere. I have to go finish up my evening. Sweet dreams and blessings to Gran Pere's healing toe.
8:38 pm

8:54 pm
dfmchfhf
Probably.
8:55 pm
dfmchfhf
I don't know either, but it may have to do with the fact that I currently have 217 Firefox tabs (and 35 Chrome tabs) open... :o/
8:56 pm
Uneaixoise

8:57 pm
dfmchfhf

I was en 8/55 in the grid,but now I am saving my last word for later.I de4/6 it neccessary to do a story of clues, so here it is for those de4/6 in the grid and ne 4/5 a story. I was pe4/5 up inside all day te4/5ing to my sick husband. He se4/5ed like he was getting sick last night. Wh 4/9 he woke up this morning, he had a fever. I have never se 4/4 him look so pale. I think a virus se 6/24 into his body during the night. He is on the me 4/5 though.He wanted to drink beer tonight, but I sh5/14ed him & I told him it wasn't a good idea. He got te 5/10 about that, but then he tu 5/14 into what I was saying and he agreed. I had to fe 4/8 for myself tonight with dinner because hubby is sick and did not feel like cooking.Since I do not like to cook,it did not make se5/10 for me to cook for myself. I also was not going to go the whole evening being un 5/20 so I decided to me 4/5 my girlfriend Nellie, who has 2 te4/4age sons, for dinner. Sh4/5 my best friend. We went to The Olive Garden and I got my favorite meal on the me 4/6. Now I am going to se 4/5 hubby off to bed with some aspirin. After that I'm going to watch a Charlie Sh 5/12 movie. I will be back later to finish.
