its one of those things, I guess. we went to one site where the man who writes the blog makes BANK selling his photos, so of course she thought she was in the money
2:52 am

just don't let her give up. She will get there in the end, all she needs is that first foothold.

so, in other news....I am thinking the house needs a bit of a spruce up. Now that mr hate, and lots of the furniture, are gone, the house, particularly the downstairs, looks so....I don't know, empty? I am thinking of doing one of those redos like on HGTV, where you redecorate with things you already own
2:54 am
carleekat

trifs ur up early
2:55 am

that is fun! And very empowering. Once you are on one of those creative surfs, I bet there is no stopping you.
2:55 am
Trifioso

I was at a book club meeting last week, at a home I hadn't been in before, and it was so homey! not fancy, but so so so lovely. little touches from their travels, comfortable seating arrangements, etc. I would love to emulate that sort of aesthetic
2:55 am
Trifioso

you too carlee!
2:55 am
carleekat

sick with a flu
2:56 am
sprite

homey is so much more important than fancy.
2:56 am
Trifioso

hmmm. Not sure, sprite. I am creative enough, but decorating does me in. I am just not confident with it
2:56 am
carleekat

woke up coughing and barking...
2:56 am
Trifioso

LOL sprite, it's my only option, at this point!
2:56 am
sprite

seems to go around
2:56 am
Trifioso

oh, carlee, poor you! I hope you get better really soon, but flu is one of those things you just have to wait out, isn't it
2:56 am
carleekat

u add YOUr stufff to the mix trifs
2:57 am
carleekat

2:57 am
sprite

2:57 am
Trifioso

2:57 am
carleekat

i want to do some kind of textile wall hanging something or other in my living room..not sure what yet...i have started a felted throw for family room
2:57 am

flu takes about 14 days without seeing a doctor and about 2 weeks with.
2:58 am
Trifioso

I am worried about pneumonia starting up
2:58 am
Trifioso

LOL sprite!
2:58 am
carleekat

for the flu????? antibiotics work on bacterial..not viral..flu is viral
2:58 am
Trifioso

OMG carlee, I swear to god I am not making this up....in the ten minutes I was asleep tonight, I had a dream about felting rugs
2:59 am
sprite

for chest flu I recommend rest, sleep, warmth, a good coughing syrop to help bring up the bad stuff, tea with honey (plenty to drink) and about a shipload of patience.
2:59 am
carleekat

i just bought up a crap load of mens wool sweaters yeterday and felted them all...cut them up..today..i start piecing

3:03 am
carleekat

but for 50.00 i will have a 100% wool one of a kind throw :)
3:04 am
Trifioso

do you put a backing on it as well?
3:04 am
carleekat

no... just a wool throw...no need for backing is SOO thick...
3:05 am
carleekat

i keep house temp set low....in family room its cold...so you need a blanket just to sit
3:06 am
Trifioso

i do the same, around 60 degrees, but I am thinking I need to bump it up a little, as I have had at least one sick kid around here for about a month now, and realize they might be a bit chilly
3:06 am
Trifioso

oh dear
3:07 am
carleekat

its ok..when you are gaming the kids dont notice..but if i watch a movie..i do :)
3:08 am
Trifioso

god forbid my kids should, you know, put on a sweater if their cold....
3:08 am
carleekat

mine do
3:09 am
Trifioso

to be fair, I need a chimney sweep to come and do the chimney, and I can't seem to get one to answer my calls, so the house has been extra chilly due to not having the fire going
3:10 am
carleekat

my next house WILL have a fireplace..and if it doesnt..i am putting in a stupid electric one in my bedroom

nope, not valid. Try again :)
3:18 am
City 17 dweller

It's *always* not valid... you'd think if I used it enough times it'd become 'a word constantly entered into babble' and therefore defined as a word.
3:19 am
sprite

if only, City. If that were the case, 'oreo' would have become a babble word a lonnnng time ago.
3:19 am
City 17 dweller

I came up to the chog box to say I like Trif's pup. Not to 'stree' all over the place.

I agree, Trif. Great quote!

I have stolen that.
3:21 am
City 17 dweller

I liked it, and the Franz Kafka one --- 'a book should be an ice-axe to break the frozen sea within us'.
3:21 am
carleekat

that is a great quote...i agree..i'll let trifs nic it tho
3:22 am

I have always liked groucho marx: 'Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.'

lollllll
3:23 am
City 17 dweller

Hah, Trif, I'd forgotten that one - they used to have it printed on Waterstones' (chain book store) bags here in the UK.
3:24 am
Trifioso

I know waterstones! used to haunt one in Dublin
3:25 am
City 17 dweller

They have a knack of choosing really nice buildings (de-commish'ed banks etc) and always have a lovely atmosphere, beyond that of just 'a shop with books in'
3:26 am
City 17 dweller

There's one in Birmingham that feels like a tiny book-cathedral.
3:26 am

oof, this grid is hard. 73 words in, and still not nbt

3:32 am

3:33 am
Trifioso

the best part is buying a) big coffee table type art books for primo (for .50 cents) and b) buying silly chick lit pink books that I normally would not be caught dead reading, but for a dime? bring em on!
3:34 am
carleekat

sounds fun...our library here sells rubbish
3:34 am
City 17 dweller

I would be all over the large art books, what a find!
3:35 am
sprite

next time bring me a cart load of fantasy and thrillers, lol
3:35 am
Trifioso

the people who organize it deserve fully marks - they Dewey decimal each and every book donated for the sale, and it takes over the entire bottom floor of the library - with stacks - so we are talking thousands of volumes
3:35 am
Trifioso

*full marks, sorry
3:35 am
sprite

wow!
3:36 am
City 17 dweller

Wow, Triff, my envy levels are spiking... we only have a small library in town, their sales tend towards Barbara Cartland novels and books whose dust-jackets have been dipped in ketchup.

what i ifind (and others have reported it before too) is that more text is entered than can fit horizontally, so you need to slide back and forth to read it all. that may not be with everyone... no biggie

my wife and i years ago(around our 7th year) were in a rut scrabby,and i had a once in a lifetime opertunity for a afternoon ride and picnic in a hot air balloon.it was expensive 200 for the afternoon,i had never been in one before and the wife was afraid of heights.at that time 200 was all the spare cash we had in our savings.so i packed a nice lunch of salad, french stick,southern style pan fried chicken i had cooked the night before and a good bottle of wine that i also could not afford. but then again i could not afford not to lol. snuck the picnic basket into the trunk of the car,told the wife to grab out coat and that we were going for a dive and had to talk(she had no idea) got 2 min from the launch area and told her to put a bandana over her eyes that i had stuffed in my pocket.we rounded the corner and the owner of the balloon had it already filled and the flame going and it was tethered and ready to go.all this time the wife is saying "whats going on? where are you taking me?" i parked the car,grabbed her still blindfolded and the picnic basket and got her right in the thing before she demanded the blindfold be removed(she was actually getting angry by now) and i nodded my head to the pilot and pulled the blindfold off at the instant he let go the last tether and hit the flames....lol! she could not speak at all for 2 minutes,she was just clutching me and was all eyes and watching the land roll out below her after a while we landed in a nice meadow and the pilot make himself scarce for 45 min while we munched on chicken and french stick and sipped wine in the shade of a nice big tree and talked,really talked to each other again.200 dollar!! lol if i had it,i would of spent 2000 for that day..lol guess the moral of that story is scrabby that life is the journey and the experiences along the way,not who gets to be 80 and still have the most baubles in the bank.we cherish that day and i would not trade it for any money...lol...just go on that trip

Depends on how complicated your financial life is. If it's relatively simple, I would stick with the free stuff.

With the Deluxe version, you can file state and Fed online. Easy peezy.

The only thing I don't like about Turbo Tax is you have to buy the full shot every year. They don't just have an upgrade. I suppose the

Yes, and have you figured out Haiti yet? All the former dictators are coming back or wanting to go back and it is just weird, by my uninformed notions.
2:55 pm
carleekat

my guess....halliburton is likely gotten its fingers in the rebuilding contracts...and the old dictators are likely scheming to get a pieceof the $ pie....as the back room politics will be a tangled web that the US gov't will need aid in detangling
2:56 pm

I am fine. Back from a train trip to Portland, Oregon.

10:30 pm
dianedecoder

and sometimes I'll type in a word, not thinking it IS one, and lo and behold....it is accepted and I don't realize it.... and keep looking !
10:30 pm
Jacula

diane - that's a word you can be proud to finish on, since it is not a silly normal word.
10:31 pm
Jacula

diane - I do that, too. Not so much on here but often on Scrabble on Facebook.
10:31 pm
dianedecoder

thanks Minver... we are sort of on vacation in Arizona, so not spending much time on Babble. We'll be here for another 2 1/2 months and I'll soon settle into a routine
10:32 pm
dianedecoder

I haven't played Scrabble on Facebook.... I did play with my girls a bit, but I hate keeping people waiting and I often get long interruptions !!
10:33 pm
dianedecoder

We are golfing tomorrow and then out for dinner with son and wife, so probably won't start the grid.... we'll see ;-))
10:33 pm
Jacula

I need to spend much less time on Babble and on the computer in general, if I am to get this house sorted out. However, my daughter's travelling, doing a gap year between degree and Masters degree, and I need the PC to keep in touch with her.
10:34 pm
dianedecoder

of course you do :-))
10:34 pm
Jacula

She needs Mummy hugs and I need Daughter hugs on a weekly, if not daily basis.
10:35 pm
dianedecoder

our son and wife are down here visiting US in THEIR home... ( They live in Canada too, but built this lovely home about 5 years ago.
10:35 pm
Jacula

I've got to get my Skype sorted out before she goes to Australia, Tasmania and Canada in March for 3 months or more. She's just back from Slovenia and is off to neighbouring Hungary on Monday.
10:36 pm
dianedecoder

I love Facebook for that reason.... I've been in touch with all my daughters and many of the grandkids since we left home.
10:36 pm
dianedecoder

Wow.... what a trip !
10:37 pm
dianedecoder

I need a new web cam.... then I would love to Skype....would be such fun to see online friends as we chat!
10:38 pm
dianedecoder

I used to chat in windows live messenger, but old webcam was not compatable with my new computers.
10:39 pm
Jacula

We've been keeping in touch re Facebook and 'phone and texts up to now, as she's travelled the world, but this trip needs more. When she gets to Canada, she will be staying with my bro and sis in law first in Calgary, then she will be off the Ontario to stay with my aunt and uncle, and then on the the conservation island my cousin lives on. She may also be visiting friends she's met on her world trip.
10:40 pm
Jacula

I used to do Messenger, too. Haven't been there for years and have no idea id my new webcam is up to the job.

10:46 pm
Jacula

Speaking of my daughter and my cat, I need to try to get some sleep. Daughter might visit me later, but not just to use my hair straighteners, and the cat might need to visit the vet.
10:47 pm
Pinikula

take care, jac!!! sleep well!
10:47 pm
Jacula

dfm - re the cat, not sure if it's his age, or if he's depressed from the death of our old cat and the long winter. I fear he's starting with kidney failure like she (our old cat) did.
10:47 pm
dfmchfhf

I heard that a lot of cats go through kidney failure :o(
10:47 pm

Minveryork

Took me ae4/4s to finish grid,but I finally did so here is a story of clues.My au4/5mobile broke down in the ra4/4 while I was on my way to the ci4/5ma.Tried to restart it,but it just sat on the road in 5/10. My car didn't care one io4/4 that I was going to miss a film I really wanted to see. I flipped a co 4/5 to decide if I wanted get it towed or not. The flip told me to get it towed.So I walked to a ne 4/4by di 5/12 to call a tow company. Then I had to stand outside in my co4/5 to wait for a tow. The tow cost me mucho di 5/12. Now my wallet is even dr 5/12 than it was before.Money I ea4/4 in my last paycheck went toward fixing car. It Seems like my car ea 4/4 up my paycheck every time I have a problem. Car has hu 4/6 my savings account many times.Think car has ou6/24 it's life expectancy I am su4/5 not in a ru4/6 to get another car though. That would really put a st6/18 on my bank account. I will take a tr 5/10 to work if I have to. Ra4/4! Hubby is not being so ni 4/5 right now. In fact,he's being an an4/5 and wants to take over my office ar4/4.If I do not give him computer,he'll cause a ri 4/4. He causes ri 5/10 everytime he doesn't get his way. I hope you have se 4/4 some more words with this story. By the way, this story is not tr4/5.I'm going to go ne 4/4en the kitchen and goto bed. Ci4/5! See you tomorrow.

11:21 pm

"Gin" is fin, Pin. Was this theatre downtown?

11:22 pm
Pinikula

11:22 pm

I was in Leavenworth a month ago, antique shopping

11:29 pm

Lovely theatre. Is it on the Plaza??
11:30 pm
gingentle

I know I have been in it at some point
11:30 pm
Pinikula

well, not exactly sure yet...I googled KC theatres...saw the interior...now just have to find the name of it
11:31 pm
gingentle

Is it the Lyric?
11:31 pm
Pinikula

still looking...
11:32 pm
dfmchfhf

<-- is lost with all these abbreviations @.@
11:32 pm
Pinikula

POTO = phantom of the opera :)
11:33 pm
dfmchfhf

ah... :o)
11:37 pm
gingentle

Pin...I think the royal is at UMKC on their campus.
11:37 pm
Pinikula

Well, I give up looking...it was a beautiful theatre with an incredible performance...
11:38 pm
Pinikula

...we didn't go to a campus, gin, so that's probably not it...
11:38 pm
Pinikula

oh well...
11:38 pm
Pinikula

I can't find any history on when POTO played in KC...perhaps I'll try again another time...
11:39 pm
gingentle

KC is lucky to still have several fabulous old theatre spaces. So many have been razed over the last few decades all over the country.
11:39 pm
Pinikula

...we should be concentrating on your 'words'! :)
11:39 pm
Pinikula

(We don't have any that old here in town...not sure if there are any left in Portland)
11:40 pm
gingentle

Oh well, I rarely finish a grid these days. Get to about 100 words and get distracted or involved in convos. i must say, that is as much fun as working the grid!
11:41 pm
dfmchfhf

but now we'll feel guilty for preventing you from finishing! Do:
11:42 pm
Pinikula

maybe The Majestic Theatre???
11:42 pm
gingentle

I absolve thee!
11:42 pm
Pinikula

(I'm the one who should feel guilty, dfm...I've hogged the chog!)
11:42 pm
gingentle

OOOH! YES. The Magestic!!! Lovely place!
11:43 pm
Pinikula

That's the one!!! (Finding more and more pictures now) :)
11:43 pm
gingentle

"Hogging the chog" sounds almost obscene!
11:43 pm
Pinikula

...and it "fit" the POTO soooo well!
11:43 pm
Pinikula

* giggle *
11:44 pm
gingentle

I can hear my pillow whispering in a susserant manner. Must go to dreamland! Catch ya later in the grids! *Poof!*
11:44 pm
Pinikula

no wait....it's called The Midland Theatre...
11:45 pm
Pinikula

take care, gin...thx for the chat :)
11:45 pm
Pinikula

(it "looks" Royal and/or Majestic)
11:46 pm
gingentle

The MIDLAND!!! Of Course. It, too is another lovely theatre. See...we have many here. Which is unusual for this area...they usually love to tear down old buildings rather than rehab them. But don't get me started. Must go. *Poof*
11:47 pm
Pinikula

ok, dfm...we've pinpointed it so you don't have to worry about us talking about it anymore!! LOL
11:50 pm
dfmchfhf

hehe, susserant... love that word :oD
11:51 pm
Pinikula

11:53 pm
