I am hopeless with mobile phones. I like to be able to call when away from home. But that is about it. I hate being called. I do use the alarm, though and the agenda.

4:03 am

FMitch

no kidding - aparently is available now to download for i-phones.

4:03 am

sprite

Mr Pope must go bananas on that one!

4:04 am

FMitch

To me a phone is a phone and I even have a lot of trouble texting as I can't switch off the predictive text option !

4:05 am

sandrafrances

Morning how many words today please

4:05 am

FMitch

a paltry 38 sandra

4:05 am

sprite

that is impractical! Are you sure you cannot switch it off at Languages or something like that?

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

An owner of an iPhone and lots of gadgets sneaks in :-)

4:05 am

sprite

only 38, Sandra, and good morning.

4:05 am

sandrafrances

4:05 am

Sally! Tell about your gadgets! The ones you use, anyway.

4:06 am

FMitch

Morning Sally

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

Well, I have an iPad as well. Hangs head.

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

Hi FM.

4:06 am

sprite

why the hanging head? If you enjoy it, it is great, right?

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

It was just arriving at a time when you were all saying you only used a phone to phone. Checks. Yes, mine does work as a phone as well :-)

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

I adore my iPhone and wouldn't be without it. It is the easiest phone to use ever.

4:07 am

FMitch

Perhaps Sally need to use the confessional app :)

4:08 am

sprite

lol I noticed that not a single mobile phone add ever mentions the calling options, lol.

4:08 am

sprite

that should have read: ad.

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

Other half, who is a technophobe, saw mine and instantly rushed out and bought one for himself. You cannot detach it from his sticky little hand.

4:10 am

FMitch

LOL I still have my very first mobile phone (somewhere in the attic) an analogue brick with a 3" ariel

4:10 am

sprite

I am serious about what I put in my profile text: I really enjoy this kind of enthusiasm. It is like watching another world! Or how the other half lives, maybe, grin. My sister and my kids can yap for hours about their phones!

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

I had one of those for work FM. Heavy to lug around.

4:10 am

sprite

FM, one of those 'fridge sized phones? I still have one too. And my 2nd phone, the best ever, that almost had no extra functions at all.

4:11 am

frogface

4:12 am

frogface

hey mitch xxx

4:13 am

frogface

if we're talking about old technology i can outdo the lot of you - i still have a Ferguson top-loading VHS player which i bought in 1979 and it still works perfectly - it has huge piano like keys for the play/ff/rewind lmao

4:13 am

sprite

frogface, I wish I had kept mine.

4:14 am

frogface

see - things were built to last in them days - bit like me rofl

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Oh! Blushes. Just monkeyed the second yo and looked up the definition.

4:14 am

FMitch

LOL we had one of those too - I remember the day Dad brought it home. And it had a remote control - well with a 15'cable attached.

4:15 am

sprite

I have only one Y word... I think it is the one that made you blush though. The tantra female body part.

4:15 am

sprite

ah, found other one too

4:15 am

frogface

actually this grid aint as easy as i first thought

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, a new word for me.

4:16 am

sprite

no as FM said earlier, it has a bit of a bite to it.

4:16 am

FMitch

the really small ones usually turn out to be a bit of a challenge.

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

I like small grids! Don't often have time to finish the large ones.

4:16 am

frogface

yes - think i shall go get sum more coffee and wake up - see ya all later xxx *poof*

4:16 am

sprite

bye frogface

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

Left three columns all greyed (though I can't really take credit for the far left, but it looks good).

4:17 am

sprite

Sally, did you see the gadget on my icon?

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

I did sprite. Don't think husband will shave with his though :-)

4:18 am

sprite

lol I cannot imagine anyone using it. I mean, even if it does shave relatively well, which I doubt... can you imagine how the phone will look after a few uses? All those stubbles getting in between the keys? Yeck!

4:19 am

FMitch

wonders what happens when you are shaving with it and the phone starts ringing - men could get so confused.

4:19 am

sprite

lolllll FM!

4:19 am

FMitch

LOL sprite!

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

lol FM. Doesn't take much to confuse them!

4:20 am

zoozzoom

bye Sally and FM, ahve a grand day.

4:28 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo, isn't it :(

4:28 am

rubyfoo

hello to sally's back and FM's

4:28 am

rubyfoo

hello sprite. How are you feeling?

4:29 am

sprite

not too bad. Bad headache after a bad night, but otherwise pretty ok. How are you? And how is husband doing?

4:33 am

sprite

fireflies. Last word was the 8, I think it is a new one for me, and if not, I totally forgot about it. Fun grid, for one so small.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

husband is doing a little better but I am running myself ragged. All I really want to do is sleep.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

I eat as much as I can but there are too many interruptions to get enough rest

4:36 am

sprite

ok rubyfoo, honest question: what good will you be to your husband when you use yourself up? Unplug the phone and the doorbell, tell husband you are only available if there is an emergency, and take a couple of hours' sleep!

4:37 am

rubyfoo

the visiting nurse comes every afternoon, the doctor comes often, sorry for venting....I hope your headache goes away.

4:37 am

Flask1

Morning all......clue please for the FIRST fo4/8 please?

4:38 am

sprite

hiya Flask, I cannot affo** to, I am afraid ;)

4:38 am

rubyfoo

hello flask

4:38 am

sprite

or no, the first one is even before that. I like you, Flask. I am so fo4 of you.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

you are right, sprite, but I'm OK

4:38 am

rubyfoo

and this is making me stronger

4:39 am

Flask1

lol...ok Sprite....thanx!

4:39 am

rubyfoo

and I am fo4** of Sprite!

4:41 am

sprite

yep, everything that doesn't kill us makes us stronger. But take the best care of yourself you can. I know I always seem to be preaching to you, lol, it must be irritating. But I worry. Want to shake you a bit and jiggle you out of the victim feelings. Want you to tell your husband and the nurse: tomorrow when she comes I will sleep!

4:42 am

rubyfoo

thank you, I don't find you preachy. You are just on my side! It is just overwhelming, sometimes, having this much responsibility

4:43 am

sprite

yes I can really imagine that. It IS a lot. But it includes being responsible for your own health and energy level. Which means sleep is very important :)

4:45 am

rubyfoo

must go make lunch {{sprite}}, at least I found 17 words

4:46 am

sprite

very nice! Enjoy lunch and tell your husband hi from me. Wish him a speedy recovery and please tell him I said to leave you alone for a couple of hours =)

morning, all!

8:22 am

uusue2

if you refresh, you can see my new icon, which is my son clearing our driveway from the last snow

8:24 am

uusue2

I agree, river - I switched to an HMO to get the premiums down (good idea, too, b/c I had major surgery last summer and the HMO, while logistically annoying, saved me thousands)

8:25 am

uusue2

and now if you check my profile, it will have the correct description of my icon :-)

8:26 am

Mark Jones

Can i have a hint for the 8?

8:26 am

Riverdance

11:02 am

Marjetta

cool

11:03 am

Boobear

Hi Crossy

11:03 am

uusue2

dfm, I've taught the freshman-level astronomy course, and love it, but nothing more advanced than that (although I probably could...)

11:10 am

dfmchfhf

well, I won't have to grade all of them in one day ;o)
I get to spread out the work and wake up late (except if I have something arranged for the morning)...

11:10 am

dfmchfhf

hi JBV! :o)

11:14 am

JBV

hi dfm and uusue

11:14 am

dfmchfhf

:o( that's no fun... I know my peers aren't even fo4 of marking 20 assignments of proofs each week... (haven't tried it myself yet...)

11:15 am

dfmchfhf

not as strange as most other words on Babble!

11:30 am

Boobear

hmm strange to me..I have never heard of it

11:32 am

uusue2

it's often used to describe microscopic creatures (the ro8, that is)

11:32 am

dfmchfhf

at least it looks like a word ;o)

hi stid! :o)

12:15 pm

uusue2

hi, stid and dfm!

12:16 pm

stidmama

hey dfm -- do you ever go to classes? *curious mama look* I am home because I had another allergic reaction last night and not safe to drive (actually not thinking too clearly yet either)

12:16 pm

uusue2

just added one of today's words to the list of physics babblets...

12:16 pm

dfmchfhf

I'm in class right now...

12:16 pm

uusue2

stid, take care of yourself! sorry to hear you are not feeling well!

12:16 pm

stidmama

*thinking about physics and babblets*

12:17 pm

dfmchfhf

The question is really whether I ever *pay attention* in class...

12:17 pm

mich_pdx

hi stid and all. small nasty grid. I'm so baffled that even easy things elude me (forest, trees). When I finally got fo 5/40 I thought of it as the adj. of fo 4/7 instead of what it actually is!

12:17 pm

stidmama

yes, me too, sue! LOL it's deuced inconvenient -- today a quest speaker on a topic I was actually interested in... *sigh*

12:17 pm

stidmama

LOL dfm

12:17 pm

stidmama

hey mich

12:17 pm

dfmchfhf

hi mich!
It's not too bad... no words I didn't already recognise...

12:17 pm

uusue2

they're in my profile if you're interested, stid (the physics babblets, that is)

12:17 pm

uusue2

hi, mich!

12:18 pm

dfmchfhf

uu -- to4 should be in a mercury *barameter* ;oP

12:18 pm

dfmchfhf

erm. *barometer

12:19 pm

uusue2

oops (rushes to fix profile)

12:19 pm

stidmama

oooh. caught dfm in a rare mis-spelling *quickly takes screenshot to document momentous occasion*

12:19 pm

dfmchfhf

hey, I mis-type all the time...

12:19 pm

uusue2

profile fixed :-)

12:19 pm

dfmchfhf

typing speed (without accounting for errors) is approximately 240...

12:19 pm

stidmama

aha! thanks for that barometric bit...

12:20 pm

dfmchfhf

accounting for errors, more like 90...

12:20 pm

dfmchfhf

(in words per minute)

12:20 pm

stidmama

:-D I am around 85-90 most days now, used to have a typing speed close to speech level, but that was a while ago.

12:21 pm

dfmchfhf

I can read my typoes usually... don't bother to correct, when (and if) I take notes I usually do it while the prof is erasing, usually beat him/her...

12:21 pm

stidmama

ha. left THREE columns grey.

12:22 pm

dfmchfhf

yay stid!

12:22 pm

mich_pdx

ok 12 left, breakfast over, must *poof*

12:22 pm

stidmama

going to have to lie down in a bit. The antihistamines are catching up with me. I was so out of it last night I didn't take any, so took them as soon as I got up.

12:22 pm

dfmchfhf

bye mich!

12:22 pm

uusue2

I am a lot faster now that I use computers a lot (over the past 40+ years) but my fingers are often dyslexic

12:22 pm

stidmama

*wise motherly advise* don't get allergies. They suck.

12:22 pm

stidmama

later mich!

12:22 pm

dfmchfhf

:o(

12:22 pm

dfmchfhf

I'm lucky, I'm allergic only to (cigarette) smoke

12:23 pm

uusue2

bye, mich and stid - hope you feel better!!!

12:23 pm

stidmama

thanks for the fo5 word, sue!

12:23 pm

stidmama

yep. down to a nice, "even" 15 *mathematical joke...* see you-all later. *poof*

12:23 pm

uusue2

do I have to go to the pb if I didn't really type it out?

12:23 pm

dfmchfhf

no uu ;o)

12:24 pm

12:29 pm

dfmchfhf

You are getting fireworks today, ruby!

12:29 pm

12:31 pm

stidmama: what are your allergies?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

I developed 2 serious food allergies AFTER we moved here, both needing adrenalin shots. Go figure!

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

love that 8! ty dfm

12:40 pm

uusue2

stidmama is right - allergies are no fun! glad I don't have any (knocks on wood) :-)

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

I am too old to be developing new ones, but did anyway, to oatmeal (which I've eaten all my life) and peas

12:41 pm

dfmchfhf

:o(

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

i am allergy to sunshine

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

*allergic

12:41 pm

uusue2

Peas! That's a new one to me! My partner has celiac disease and can't eat oats, barley, wheat, or rye, but I never knew you could be allergic to peas!

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

12:41 pm

dfmchfhf

I almost have no allergies! >.>

12:41 pm

dfmchfhf

hi jmc! :o)

12:41 pm

uusue2

hi, jmc!

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

even just touching the pod makes me break out in hives

12:43 pm

dfmchfhf

that sounds unpleasant, ruby :o(

12:43 pm

uusue2

snow peas too, I suppose - what about related things like green beans?

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

it came as a big surprise, only after I grew them in the garden

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know about either snow peas or green beans, but once green peas are cooked, no problem

12:44 pm

uusue2

I'll bet! Not a nice surprise either.

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

ah then DH must shell the peas

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

I was so happy to grow them for the first time

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

hahahah jmc

12:44 pm

uusue2

oh, that's interesting, so cooking takes away the irritant. Well, that's good - so you don't have to interrogate every cook in every restaurant you go to -

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

I'm stuck with lucky 13 to go. Good night everybody

12:48 pm

jmcnrick

ro8 starts with the second ro4 and ends with a 4-letter word meaning shape

12:49 pm

jmcnrick

probably because i want it to be rotary

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

dfm clued it, jmc, circular shape

12:50 pm

1:11 pm

dfmchfhf

I once brought a portable projector just to distract the class >.>
<-- is horrible

1:11 pm

uusue2

1:11 pm

uusue2

if it

1:11 pm

uusue2

oops

1:12 pm

uusue2

if it's a small class I am usually more forgiving but most of mine are large lectures now, and I don't like trying to shout over the mayhem...

thanks, stid! Yes, and tulips. And there are peonies along the fence. Inside the fence is native plantings - coneflowers, a small pond, as well as some strawberries and some Japanese maples (not native but pretty)

4:30 pm

uusue2

Also a lot of other things whose names I have forgotten - my SO is a real plant guy. And no lawn except between the sidewalk and the street (and even there we're planting small trees)

4:31 pm

uusue2

much of what you see in front of the fence is sidewalk - it hadn't been shoveled yet when I took the picture :-)

4:39 pm

stidmama

I love the description of your yard! (sorry, got distracted)

4:39 pm

FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!!

4:40 pm

uusue2

thx, stid! It's been quite a job, fortunately not done by me! (not really part of my skill set)

4:40 pm

stidmama

I hope to have a few hours a week this Spring to work in the yard. So many things went undone while my hip was bad... three years is too long to let a yard "go" so there will be major "amendments" needed.

4:40 pm

crosshair

yaa for godthaab!

4:40 pm

stidmama

YAY godthaab (which isBAATHdog backwards... my dog doesn't take baths...)

4:40 pm

4:42 pm

stidmama

so, I should excuse myself and go work on the paper. I have a new section due tomorrow, but haven't really started it yet... *sigh* the weekend just past was not conducive to good work. LOL hopefully the one coming up will be!

4:42 pm

"dits" fits pretty well, doesn't it? rofl.

4:43 pm

uusue2

we do have a hot tub in the back, crossy - only trouble is that it's outside so you get a little cold coming and going...

4:43 pm

uusue2

you have to bring your own fluffy white towels, though.

4:44 pm

stidmama

anyway. thanks all for being "here" and laughing at my jokes. See you-all again tomorrow! *poof*

4:44 pm

godthaab

I'm just sayin,... You could have some fun with that.

4:44 pm

Primer in Canadianspeak for Anglos...add a "u" where only an "o" belongs. Put a "que" where "ck" belongs. Add "ne" where only an "n" belongs. Call the last letter of the alphabet "zed" and drive in "clicks" instead of miles per hour. You'll fit right in up there.

6:39 pm

Nef

Thanks. And with that; I have to leave. DH's Men's club is having a Sweethearts supper; I need to dress up a bit and leave. :-)

I'm fo 4/8 of Babble and he likes Farmville. We really can't affo 4/8 another computer now, so we've finally come to an agreement about game times. Our relationship wasn't no4/5al with all of the fighting we did over our addictions. I have been to 4/4 over the way we've been arguing. We agreed to have no more ri4/4s when it comes to the computer.Think we have moved on4/4 having a more mature relationship. I'm going to go watch TV for the rest of the ni4/4. Adios!
