hello everyone. Any one seen Christine - wondering about her sister, can't remember where in NZ she is

2:23 am

jillibus

2:24 am

jillibus

hi lyn -- isn't she in Wellington?

2:24 am

flosey

2:24 am

lynxxx

I hope so Jilli, thanks

2:25 am

jillibus

2:25 am

flosey

2:25 am

flosey

2:25 am

jillibus

Well -- a message for George -- bridge started on time, finished at 10 sharp.

2:26 am

jillibus

four and a half tables.

2:26 am

flosey

wow, good going jilli - that's great

2:27 am

jillibus

thought he'd be pleased.

2:27 am

flosey

he's asleep! where I should be, but I'll tell him

2:28 am

jillibus

you can give it to hime for breakfast ;-)

2:28 am

flosey

2:28 am

jillibus

*him

2:29 am

flosey

I have 92 words, still have 3 bts

2:29 am

jillibus

good for you -- I only have 99 words but nbt and nbs

2:30 am

jillibus

and I'm not seeing any more :-(

2:30 am

flosey

tea's finished, now off to bed, may try a few tomorrow afternoon, if time, otherwise that'll be it

2:31 am

flosey

good night all

2:31 am

jillibus

2:31 am

jillibus

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

fireworks

2:39 am

dfmchfhf

list is up in my profile (finally)

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

list in my profile if anyone needs it

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

crap.... just saw your note df...

2:40 am

dfmchfhf

beat you by a minute... :oP

2:40 am

dfmchfhf

would have had it earlier except browser froze

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

lol...ARB showed me an easy way to post...

2:41 am

dfmchfhf

don't worry, two lists is better than one ;o)

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

awww hate when that happens

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

windows 7 doesn't seem to like either morewords.com or the chat archive here... freezes quite a bit

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

well I need to check email and then try to get back to sleep... hope you have a great day!

2:42 am

dfmchfhf

I use javascript to generate the list... when it is any more than 180 words firefox tends to freeze when executing the script

2:43 am

dfmchfhf

I should go to sleep too -- night dee! :o)

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

do you have excel?

2:44 am

dfmchfhf

yeah, but it doesn't format as nicely. (double line breaks after each letter-pair change)

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

paste into 5 columns; fix the 1st word which skews; then add a blank column after the word... type in formula +($B1,2) and copy that down the list... then just copy and paste into profile

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

formula =($B1,2) sorry...

2:49 am

dfmchfhf

for Excel 2007 I use formula =CONCATENATE(MID(B1|1|2)|C1|"/"|D1)

2:50 am

VolleymomDee

that is more complicated than I know ... other is for us juvies :~)

2:50 am

dfmchfhf

(the | is because I use it as a seperator -- it is usually a comma)

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

gotcha

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

all mine does is capture the 1st two letters of the word, then I copy and paste my last 3 columns

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

well, I am off! Sleep well, and ty for all of the lists!!

2:57 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

2:57 am

rubyfoo

anybody?\

2:59 am

scouser

Hello Ruby - hope things good today.

3:00 am

rubyfoo

hello scouser, so far, so good!

3:00 am

dfmchfhf

hi {{ruby}}! :o)

3:00 am

dfmchfhf

I was just getting ready to go to sleep...

3:01 am

scouser

thanks dfmchfhf for the concatenate trick. I do more complicated copy and replace exercise in Excel.

3:01 am

scouser

We are Lickety-less so far today.

3:02 am

rubyfoo

{{dfm}} we haven't been on at the same time very much. How are you?

3:03 am

scouser

ruby I have been getting up early cos had grandchildren (11 & 9) here so I been quiet.

3:03 am

rubyfoo

you are greatly missed, scouser!

3:04 am

rubyfoo

the other day I read over the chog and dfm and hurshy were in an accomplishments competition. Too funny, dfm!!!!

3:04 am

scouser

thank you. I keep missing my pal hydra online too - she gets up (much) later than I do

3:04 am

scouser

today's chog is funny too about the scots clothing item.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I know you are brilliant, but you are also VERY nice!

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I never see hydra

3:05 am

scouser

cor ! how is himself today?

3:05 am

rubyfoo

the brilliant remark was directed at dfm (although you are, too, scouser)

3:07 am

scouser

the time-lag makes for amusing conversations sometimes and anyone coming into the chat must think huh?????? as several strands of talk coalesce into a total jumble.

3:07 am

rubyfoo

which makes it fun sometimes, just plain confusing at others

3:07 am

rubyfoo

and we basically circle the globe!

3:08 am

scouser

we do indeed - and we don't use text-speak either. My daughter-in-law uses it on the mobile messages all the time. I am too old to get used to it.

3:09 am

dfmchfhf

I'm tired out still from last week's 60-hour board-games night-turned-marathon...

3:09 am

rubyfoo

you are young enough to do that, dfm,

3:09 am

scouser

what were you playing dfm?

3:09 am

rubyfoo

do you play regular scrabble?

3:09 am

rubyfoo

monopoly?

3:10 am

dfmchfhf

<-- is too ... uhh, young? stubborn? -- to do text-speak

3:10 am

scouser

probably just awkward !

3:11 am

rubyfoo

I don't like text-speak or unpunctuated letters.

3:11 am

rubyfoo

I don't even have a cell phone....talk about dinosaurs!

3:11 am

dfmchfhf

I play slighter lesser-known board games... mostly games similar to Settlers of Catan.

3:12 am

scouser

I can't live without my mobile - I have been rescued by the AA twice recently when the car decided I needed to be left stranded in the wilds of nowhere (well not the first time - that was in the middle of three lanes at 6 pm. fun.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

since I never go anyplace distant, and there are certainly no wilds on my routes, I haven't needed one.

3:13 am

dfmchfhf

Power Grid; Bohnanza; Space Alert; Battlestar Galactica: the board game (Pegasus + Exodus expansions); Arkham Horror; Betrayal at House on the Hill; Pandemic; Dominion; Titan amongst many many others

3:13 am

rubyfoo

irker

3:13 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

3:14 am

rubyfoo

not even a word....do I have to go to the PB?

3:14 am

dfmchfhf

no ruby, just be careful ;o)

3:14 am

scouser

A wild to me is the motorway grass-verge or down-town back streets.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

bad ruby

3:14 am

rubyfoo

can't even multi-task

3:15 am

scouser

I think that should be a word. I will put it in my "Hello Enable " list. We will have to use it often though to get it in there.

3:15 am

scouser

teenagers are often irkers of their parents

3:16 am

rubyfoo

and I irk several people that I know of.....

3:17 am

rubyfoo

so I'm one, too

3:18 am

dfmchfhf

<-- irks almost everyone he knows in real life!
... be glad you don't know the real me ;o)

3:18 am

rubyfoo

lovely phantom: troika

3:18 am

rubyfoo

I can't believe that, dfm, I find you charming

3:19 am

scouser

thanks dfm - I think I must be missing something in my life. The grandchildren have graduated to Yahtzee and Monopoly and Scrabble. All cause scraps and bring out the competitive streaks!

3:20 am

rubyfoo

in my working life I was very competitive and also played backgammon for $$ but now, retired, I'm not competitive any morew

3:20 am

dfmchfhf

bring out games such as Arkham Horror, Pandemic and Battlestar Galactica -- those are pretty fun, co-operative (ish) games

3:20 am

scouser

I must go and do some work on our in-house magazine. Bye for now.

3:20 am

dfmchfhf

bye scouser!

3:20 am

rubyfoo

"in-house" as in your house? or work-house?

3:20 am

rubyfoo

3:21 am

dfmchfhf

(I must admit however that most of those games are at least twice as expensive as games such as Monopoly, or Yahtzee... and take potentially longer to complete... but totally worth it!)

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I like this (and online scrabble) because they are laid-back and chatty. Unlike the rest of my life!

3:23 am

dfmchfhf

"laid back", ruby, you should see what happens at around flip! ;o)

3:23 am

rubyfoo

I am still sleeping at flip, I guess happily

3:24 am

rubyfoo

by the time I come on, you "sharks" have all finished

3:24 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:40 am

rubyfoo

one more for half!

3:44 am

herinfernallady

hi

3:58 am

dfmchfhf

o.0 I just listed a bunch of the board games I play and the only two letters I don't have are Y and Z.

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Hi DM

4:01 am

dfmchfhf

hi herin! :o)

4:02 am

herinfernallady

You need Yahtzee

4:03 am

dfmchfhf

it's made by Hasbro and/or Mattel though... I don't list those...

4:04 am

dfmchfhf

I also didn't list Monopoly, Scrabble, &c...

4:06 am

herinfernallady

Why?

4:07 am

dfmchfhf

I also own only a tiny portion (12) of the ~80 games I've played and listed...

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Wow

4:12 am

dfmchfhf

I don't like/play them any more, I guess?
Most of what I call board games are by publishers Rio Grande games, Z-Man Games, Days of Wonder, and various other European ones

4:14 am

dfmchfhf

Monopoly/Scrabble/Yahtzee are far too luck-based, "German-style board games" (as they are called) are more strategy-based

4:14 am

herinfernallady

Why not Hasbro/

4:16 am

dfmchfhf

American and not German style games ;o)

4:18 am

herinfernallady

Ok

4:22 am

4:42 am

herinfernallady

Melon my daily paper has it

4:42 am

melonheadjujube

4:45 am

melonheadjujube

THing is I don't make these mistakes longhand.

female - not fixed. She doesn't do these things anymore, tho she paws at plastic a lot. She's a classic newspaper sitter, too. Why do cats love newsprint?

5:16 am

herinfernallady

No idea same as bags

5:16 am

zoozzoom

My sisters chiwawa will pee every time she gets very excited at seeing someone she has not seen for a while..very annoying really.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

She peed on your clothes to mark it. As she is not fixed everything must be marked

5:16 am

melonheadjujube

lots of words with 3 Rs in this game. How pirate-y!

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Zoo that is why you get doggy nappies

5:17 am

zoozzoom

Really?

5:17 am

melonheadjujube

Ah, so she must be done marking! Thanks for clearing that up!

5:17 am

herinfernallady

Yes you can get these really cute dog nappies

5:18 am

melonheadjujube

My favorite thigng she does is to rest her chin - inasmuch as cats have chins - on the back of my hand.

5:18 am

zoozzoom

Will tell my sister, thanks.

5:18 am

zoozzoom

Cute, Melon :-)

5:19 am

herinfernallady

Let me have a look I have a link

5:21 am

Sandieangel

could anyone clue the en5 pls?

5:22 am

froggle

en and ---isance, annoying

5:22 am

herinfernallady

ZOo your sister can get regular doggy panties and pretty ones

5:22 am

melonheadjujube

halfway at last. Didn't get all the 7s and 8s, just 8 and 3 respectively, did get NBT. Time to put on the coffee and get ready for my big day! :))

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Good clue, thanks, Froggie ;-)

5:23 am

Sandieangel

Thanks for that I can see it now.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

I have text her, Herin, she is looking into it..thanks for that.

5:24 am

herinfernallady

I am trying to find this really cute link

5:25 am

herinfernallady

It depends if your sister is one of those people that has to have a fashionable pup or not

5:25 am

melonheadjujube

that was a great clue, froggie! I had never connected those two words before.

5:26 am

melonheadjujube

OK, byee, all! {poof}

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Melon :-)

5:26 am

herinfernallady

Bye Melon

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Well it is when the little dog goes to my parents house when she visit them..the `Flo` will pee little bits of wee every where as she gets so excited..and they are not happy.

5:28 am

herinfernallady

There is some cute ones on the market

5:29 am

herinfernallady

The other idea is a soft crate for her

5:30 am

zoozzoom

I think the nappy is a good one as she like to run riot..lol

5:31 am

herinfernallady

O I just had a thought.

5:31 am

zoozzoom

Ok?

5:31 am

herinfernallady

What about a bag of cheap as premi baby nappies if it is just for a short time?

5:32 am

lynxxx

I would suggest your parents go outside to greet the pup and wait a few minutes while she gets over the excitement. They should ignore the dog until she is less excited too. No eye contact or fussing etc.

5:32 am

lynxxx

hello everyone

5:32 am

zoozzoom

Yes we thought of that..my sister says not sure it would work..thinks Flo will try to tear them off.

hi Ruby

5:44 am

herinfernallady

Last night I had this horrible feeling. Like a shoe waiting to fall.

5:44 am

herinfernallady

I really did feel the World is off kilter. I just I don't know

5:44 am

zoozzoom

OMG..i knew nothing about the earthquake..how sad.

ZOo no bad

5:48 am

zoozzoom

Good in one way, Ruby, don`t let him work you to no sleep like last time..you must get some time for yourself as well.

5:48 am

zoozzoom

Not bad, Herin, GREAT..lol

5:48 am

herinfernallady

I wonder why I get the World is off kilter vibe last night. I seriously felt ill. I spent most of last night in tears

5:49 am

herinfernallady

ZOo it is great if yuo are not monitored

5:49 am

rubyfoo

this is my time to myself. He is such a jerk; being sick doesn't make him nicer

5:49 am

rubyfoo

you are a "sensitive", herin

5:49 am

zoozzoom

I know..Ruby..i know..good to hear you being strong for yourself.

5:49 am

rubyfoo

you pick up the bad vibes and are affected by them

5:50 am

herinfernallady

And Ruby you have no idea how much that sucks ALOT

5:50 am

zoozzoom

I get headaches when a thunderstorm is looming.

5:50 am

5:50 am

this is an interesting topic

5:51 am

I think most of you are special..well to me anyway..lol

5:51 am

herinfernallady

Ruby It has saved my arse a few times. Hi Esprite

5:51 am

rubyfoo

I can understand that; since 9/11, I am reluctant to do a lot of things I did before

5:51 am

EspritdJean

I have felt that so much myself Herein but never told anyone, thought I was crazy

5:51 am

herinfernallady

Kiwis like Aussies are tough buggers.

5:51 am

zoozzoom

I would asy it is a gift you have then, Herin.

5:52 am

EspritdJean

like the big guy in The Green Mile

5:52 am

rubyfoo

when I worked, I spent a lot of time with Port Authority peeps in the World Trade Center and flew around a lot, but now, I'm afraid to fly from Geneva to London.

5:52 am

herinfernallady

Esprit being sensitive is great as long as you don't doubt yourself. If it feels wrong stop and don't

5:52 am

rubyfoo

I love that movie, Jean!!!!!

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Loved that film, Jean.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I am not sensitive!!!!

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Ruby the way I see it the World turns and the Fates have horrid sense of humor. I sometimes get this mental image they are sitting there having a laugh

5:53 am

rubyfoo

snap, zzoozz

5:53 am

EspritdJean

yes it was a great movie, but I could really relate to John Coffey

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I love that image, herin!

5:53 am

zoozzoom

I am..but not that way..i just cry at any sad movies or stories..can`t help it..call me a wimp..then i am a wimp..lol

5:54 am

rubyfoo

which one was John Coffey? When we get the movies here, the credits are chopped up

5:54 am

rubyfoo

5:54 am

EspritdJean

the big prisoner

5:54 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby))..lol

5:54 am

rubyfoo

oh, I loved him! If he would like to come here to live, I would put him in our guestroom and the hell with everybody else!!!!!

5:54 am

herinfernallady

I read a wonderful description in a book that was the Fates sat there in their chairs and pulled string out of the bag. The strings were cut at various lengths. The short lengths made at least one of them sad

5:55 am

EspritdJean

who "felt" the bad things that were floating around in the universe

5:55 am

rubyfoo

I am not a "sensitive", just feel things about those I care about.

5:56 am

rubyfoo

and if my husband continues his "macho sh** recovery, he will not have a lot of sympathy from me

5:56 am

herinfernallady

Worse was the time that I was meant to meet a g.f and I heard her scream my name in my head. Turns out seconds later I heard that she had an accident. She was fine.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

I am not his mother or a prison guard

5:57 am

zoozzoom

To right, Ruby.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Wow you have a gift for sure, Herin.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

too*

5:58 am

rubyfoo

OMG, herin, I have had only one prescient experience: I dreamed that my nephew was calling me to say that my dad was in hosptail and then, I was awakened by my nephew calling me to tell me the same thing!

5:59 am

herinfernallady

When we had bad fires and she lived in the bush I smelt the air in the morning and had that sick feeling. I rang her and said Please get your papers organised and have the pet carriers sorted. A fire broke out but she was not evacuated.

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Herin you could even be psychic..have you thought about that?

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Zoo I don't think it as a gift but as something that you need to tune into.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

6:00 am

zoozzoom

i know what you mean..like a sixth sense.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

Zoo depends on how in tune I am with people. When the b.f is getting sick I can smell it before he gets sick. I joke werewolf sense

6:00 am

rubyfoo

OK, herin, if you come here, I'll kick John Coffey out of the guestroom

6:01 am

zoozzoom

interesting..not heard the smell one before..i have of colours but not smell..cool.

6:01 am

rubyfoo

I could smell a fever when my son was little

6:01 am

herinfernallady

See Ruby that is awesome

6:02 am

zoozzoom

I could smell my sisiters kids feet when they were small..Yuk..lol

6:02 am

rubyfoo

not unusual with me; I have heard many mothers say that same thing. I don't think I have any special sense, just knew my baby

6:02 am

rubyfoo

and fevers smell

6:03 am

zoozzoom

Everything has a smell.

6:03 am

rubyfoo

my husband can't smell anything. The house could be burning down and he wouldn't smell the smoke!

6:04 am

rubyfoo

I think it's an atavistic protection

6:04 am

zoozzoom

I would assume that would effect his sense of taste too then.

6:04 am

herinfernallady

I have been told also about synaesthesia (where you see numbers as colours in patterns) which can happen with me. A friend said that it is common in schizophrenia. I told him '' No I am not, The voices tell me that'' He didn't think it was funny

6:05 am

rubyfoo

I have to make all of his food so highly spiced that I can't eat it

6:05 am

zoozzoom

LOL

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Love it, Herin.

Common in temporal lobe epilepsy. I know of someone who is dragging her kid to all these demon-purgings and ceremonies instead of checking itout with a neurologist

6:32 am

Hi herin and everyone

6:36 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Seaspray :-)

6:36 am

Kaplan the Magne

She has a therapist, but the therapist uses crystals (sorry if I am skeptical of these things) and I think there really needs to be some neurological testing. Tactile hallucinations are common in TLE

6:36 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Kap 100%

6:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

But the who family has decided she is psychic and they watch those TV shows on psychic kids-

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Kaplan there is nothing wrong with crystals in the room but using them makes this ''therapist'' seem not koosher

6:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

ee5, I mean

6:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

What can you do?

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Not much.

6:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

Agreed. She uses them to clear out bad energy of some patients. Maybe I should try it before I knock it.

6:38 am

Nothing wrong with crystals and things but i also think they should keep other options open and try different avenues.

Riverdance

hello scrabbs

7:34 am

Anniebrook

morning, scrabbs

7:34 am

Riverdance

7:34 am

Scrabbler

I will contact them via FB.

7:34 am

Riverdance

we will keep our fingers and toes crossed that they are safe

7:35 am

Anniebrook

I hope they are safe

7:36 am

Anniebrook

(((Mom))) did you get a ton of snow?

7:36 am

Mom

((River)) good morning

7:36 am

Mom

((Annie)) not a drop but quite a bit of rain, and good morning to you. Did you get snow?

7:37 am

Anniebrook

we had a dusting yesterday. I thought Kentucky had lots of snow...glad I am wrong

7:38 am

Mom

me too Annie. I have had enough of those flakes

7:39 am

Anniebrook

I, for one, cannot wait for spring to arrive

7:39 am

Scrabbler

BRB, Bunny Miss Bea is up to no good in the dining room.

7:39 am

Riverdance

we were spoiled last week with the warm weather

7:39 am

Mom

Oh Annie, it can't get here quick enough for me

7:39 am

Mom

typical youngster Scrabbler

7:40 am

Mom

and poor Nef having got 15 inches yesterday

7:40 am

Anniebrook

uhoh, what is Miss Bea up to? hope she is having fun.

7:41 am

Mom

two days in a row my favorite chore is in the grid :-)

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Yep, these furry kids with long ears are rascals. She was chewing on a large bag of oatmeal boxes (cylinders, really) that I am bringing to do crafts with Mary's kids.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

sn5, Mom? LOL

7:41 am

Riverdance

hope you have enough clothes for that Mom

7:41 am

Anniebrook

Mom , I immediately typed ir4

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Oh, now I see it, Mom.

7:41 am

Mom

that was it Annie

7:42 am

Mom

ah, a little fiber in Miss Bea's diet

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, How are Mary's children?

7:42 am

Mom

Oh Scrabbler, never in a million years and if i did sn 5 that would make me a sn 7/28

7:45 am

Scrabbler

They are energetic, bright and sweet. Mary would be so proud. The 6 yr old is reading so well and beyond the 1st grade. The 3 yr old is hilarious. Last week she put on her Snow White dress and we reenacted the poison apple, coma, kiss by the prince, reawakening scene 15 times.

7:45 am

Mom

River, I always have enough clothes to iron

7:46 am

Riverdance

how fun scrabbs

7:46 am

Riverdance

off to the PB with you Mom

7:46 am

Mom

Scrabbler, that had to be a blast

7:46 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, they sound wonderful

7:46 am

Mom

**slinks off to the PB ..... taking my muffin and orange juice with me

7:46 am

Anniebrook

Mom< I knew that ir4 would do you in

7:47 am

Mom

I can usually be found in the dog house anyway. lol

7:47 am

Scrabbler

The 10 yr old, the only one with a memory of her mother has been displaying grief issues. She is afraid she will forget what her mom looked like, how she talked, etc. At her age too kids develop more abstract thinking and ponder death more deeply.

7:47 am

gramma

Hi all 8)

7:47 am

Riverdance

she gets so excited when the word ir4 comes up...its no wonder

7:47 am

Mom

Hi Gramma

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Hi Gramma

7:48 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, would watching films of her mother help the 10 year old keep her Mom in her memory intact?

7:48 am

Riverdance

keep a close eye on her scrabbs...I have a niece that lost her Mom when she was 6. She is 17 now and has some serious issues

7:48 am

Riverdance

hello gramma

7:48 am

wvteach

good morning all

7:48 am

Mom

good morning wvteach

7:48 am

Riverdance

hello teach

7:49 am

Anniebrook

morning, teach

7:49 am

Scrabbler

The father has finally agreed to grief counseling for her. He was reluctant for so long as he doesn't understand kids' development.

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Hi wv

7:49 am

Mom

I am glad to hear that Scrabbler

7:50 am

Riverdance

my brother did grief counseling with his kids right after his wife died....it helped but I think he stopped it too early

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Grief issues for kids are neverending. As they experience life, events, and develop they must process new feelings and thoughts.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

*proud moment* I found a 7 by myself. hu7

7:53 am

Riverdance

whooohoooo for scrabbler

7:53 am

Anniebrook

yay for scrabbs

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Only 12 more 7's and 5 8's to find.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

*doing a curtsy* Small victories.

7:53 am

Mom

I have 6 7's and all 8's if you want stats Scrabbler

7:54 am

Riverdance

I am finding this grid a bit challenging now that I am down to 81

7:54 am

Riverdance

yikes Mom - you are way ahead of me

7:54 am

Mom

Annie, I have a picture of Annie as my icon, but you have to look at Shay and Whitney as well

7:54 am

Mom

River, I babbled for about an hour overnight last night

7:55 am

Anniebrook

Mom, I would love too, still see your old icon, will refresh

7:55 am

Scrabbler

That's ok, Mom. TY anyway. I must move along soon. My new glasses are ready for pick-up. My multifocals broke over 2 wks ago and I have been struggling with distance glasses only.

7:55 am

Riverdance

that explains it

7:55 am

Riverdance

is Annie the beautiful golden in them middle?

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Good morning Friends!

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Hi car!

7:56 am

Riverdance

7:56 am

Mom

7:56 am

Mom

((Car.)) good morning

7:56 am

Riverdance

beautiful kids too - very nice picture

7:56 am

Mom

Oh Scrabbler, that is terrible

7:57 am

Mom

thanks River. They are getting married June 4th

7:57 am

Riverdance

I have tried progressive bifocals and dont like them so now have 3 pairs of glasses I carry around. Its a pain switching them over when I need to read though

7:57 am

Anniebrook

Mom, what a great looking couple. Annie is beautiful.

7:58 am

Riverdance

congrats to you and them Mom

7:58 am

Mom

and Miss pe**winkle is in the grid as well

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Annoying but not so terrible. I can read without glasses. The great difficulty is computer work. I must remove my glasses and get 8 inches away from the screen to see. It's been a tough 16 days of doing this.

7:58 am

Mom

thanks Annie, she is a cutie for sure. She will be 5 months next week

7:58 am

Anniebrook

River, I am happy I am not alone, I also carry 2 pair of glasses, reading and distance

7:59 am

Riverdance

my phantom today is perrier..I keep typing it over and over again knowing it will not work

7:59 am

Mom

thanks River, she is a wonderful young lady

7:59 am

Scrabbler

I got used to the progressive multifocals although I use the distance glasses only when playing tennis.

8:00 am

Mom

I have one contact for close up and one contact for distance, it works amazingly well but I also use readers for small print

8:00 am

Scrabbler

*was a moron and tried typing perrier*

8:00 am

Riverdance

I only use my distance glasses for driving otherwise I can see fine...but my reading is getting worse and worse with age. I cant read anyting anymore without them.

8:01 am

Riverdance

lol scrabbs...thank you for that chuckle

8:01 am

Mom

Scrabbler a moron? NEVER

8:01 am

Riverdance

I must get on with my day...breakfast and work of course...have a great day everyone

8:01 am

Scrabbler

I am always glad to share my idiotic behavior with others so we can all laugh.

8:01 am

Mom

8:01 am

Anniebrook

bye river, have a great day

8:08 am

Anniebrook

en 8 ---to trap and one who traps

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha. I hear SO many words for private parts in my office that I figured doo-dangle was for a you-know-what. It does dangle, of course.

Kaplan the Magne

If you are kosher, you can have fish and milk (but why would you?) so obviously it isn't meat.

10:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Fish and milk. I am making myself sick today.

10:53 am

ruby, you should tell him he's damn lucky you are "stupid" enough to stay with him; or that you aren't stupid at all and it's his attitude that is!

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

I just walk away

12:41 pm

pardon me for butting in but you should walk away for real--emotional abuse is still abuse

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

I had a friend do my "heavy" shopping today and got him an electronic scale because the nurse couldn't believe his weight on the old, hospital-type scale. He weighs under 122 and he isn't short!

12:41 pm

pugmama763

been there , done that

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

I would if I could, but it's way too late for that.

12:42 pm

pugmama763

if your still above ground dear it isn't too late

12:42 pm

Nef

that's such a rude thing to say though. (Sorry, not my business; but I deal with young women in abusive situations and am always telling them no one has the right to harm another person by deed, action or psych reasons

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

pugmama, you aren't butting in at all; I absolutely agree with you

12:43 pm

pugmama763

I always seemed to be a magnet for abusive personalities

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

I think that having been sick like this has exacerbated his negative moods. And feeling out of control for a control-freak like him

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

Fortunately, I have enough confidence to live with that stuff

12:44 pm

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

hahah, kazzer. I don't think he would have survived another week.

12:45 pm

Kazzer99

is lickety up yet?

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

And now I've invited his daughter to visit, even sending her a ticket, as she's the only one of his children with whom he has any relationship. I told her that she could come IF she would help me with housework!

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

Kazzer, is that a Holbein in your icon?

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

or a Cranach. I have too much trouble opening profiles.....

12:46 pm

Kazzer99

not sure havent had a chance to change it since nick copernicus was the icon

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

first, I thought that Kaz had very high cheekbones, then I looked again hahah

12:47 pm

Kazzer99

he sounds rather ungrateful rube

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

he is, that's for sure

12:48 pm

Kazzer99

and i wish i did have high cheekbones instead of fat chubby ones!!

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

but I'm no saint

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

I wish I had fat chubby cheeks -- haven't since I was a very fat baby!

12:48 pm

ruby, he's had a tough year; but he owes you an apology for saying rude things to you.

12:48 pm

12:50 pm

hootowl

ruby - I put up w/my ex for years because of my son. HIS mother told me to get out when she witnessed one of his tirades. MUCH happier now

12:50 pm

pugmama763

sweetheart I know from experience people that that do not change because nothing is ever their own fault

12:50 pm

hootowl

amen!

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

I should have known better but it all was wonderful for a long time

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

and moving here for our retirement was such a great idea!

12:51 pm

pugmama763

it always is till they think you are securely under their thumb dear

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

I never looked at it that way

12:52 pm

hootowl

When we split up I left my son w/him cause I couldn't afford him (that sounds horrible!) As soon as he was of age he moved back in w/me! The people who say you shouldn't denegrate the ex to the kids are full of it.

12:52 pm

pugmama763

been around that block enough times to see it in hindsight

12:53 pm

hootowl

He realised on his own why I left. To this day my ex does not know that my son has married and has 2 kids

12:53 pm

crosshair

crossy cannot concentrate with all my records all over the place and song that need to be heard. i will be back later but will leave you with this one by paul stooky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkW3cJG

12:53 pm

crosshair

poof!

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

that is interesting, hootowl, the same thing happened to me after I left my first husband. 7 years later, I had to send my son to live with him as I couldn't afford it. He was giving me $25/wk alimony, the sport!

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

but then, once I was back on my feet financially, my son came to live with me

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

my 1st husband still speaks ill of me and we split up 40 yrs ago!

12:55 pm

hootowl

The hardest part after the split was for me to get myself back. I hadn't realised how much of me he had suppressed

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

it boggles my mind how anybody can hold a grudge like that!

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

I think you are me, hootowl

12:56 pm

hootowl

small mins don't have room for changes

12:56 pm

hootowl

minds

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

or mins, for that matter

12:56 pm

pugmama763

& like I said NOTHING is ever their own fault

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

what is funny is how similar the two men are (again, great hindsight)

12:57 pm

pugmama763

sounds like my 1st husband but he eventually ate a pistol 15 years later

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

only sons, part chow chow, I think

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

wow!

12:57 pm

2:47 pm

hi cathy.

2:48 pm

MollyL

There are about six people who have copied lists into their profile. Remember, it all starts with good ole VolleyMomDee.

2:48 pm

Especially since it is Swedish too!

2:48 pm

Indeed there is a difference and there is alos that wonderful thing of "Just letting it be"....but seems we all have a rough time with that.

3:39 pm

Nef

Hey, Jilly; my sister in Helena just sent me a present. It's a hand-blown glass pitcher from a glass company in Townsend, MT. WHERE is Townsend? (I thought I've gone through every town in MT over the years!)

3:39 pm

uusue2

Dad's home!

3:39 pm

car.eeyore

Nice gift!!!

3:39 pm

Nef

YAY, lillian!!!! WTG!!!!

3:40 pm

cathy22w

3:40 pm

Jillyjill

You continue on hwy 12 east about 30 miles...

3:40 pm

uusue2

He is VERY happy.

3:40 pm

lilliann

glad to hear it sue, hope he is ok!

3:40 pm

car.eeyore

Are you holding up UU?

3:40 pm

lilliann

yw cathy

3:40 pm

uusue2

Yes, I'm fine. It's good to have him home

3:40 pm

car.eeyore

How long will you be there UU?

3:41 pm

Nef

WONDERFUL, uusue!

3:41 pm

Nef

east of what, Jilly?

3:41 pm

Jillyjill

Nef, you miss Townsend if you stay on interstate, it's about 30 miles east of Helena on 12

3:41 pm

uusue2

One of the things he missed at the rehab center was his videos; we've already watched 2 episodes of Fall of Eagles as well as two lectures on the Metropolitan Museum of Art (he is rather an intellectual)

3:41 pm

uusue2

I'll be here until a week from Saturday.

3:42 pm

car.eeyore

What happens after you leave?

3:42 pm

uusue2

He can't drive yet, and can't really even think about it until he sees the orthopedic surgeon next Thursday; then we'll see.

3:42 pm

car.eeyore

OK. Just one day at a time then!

3:42 pm

car.eeyore

I want to make sure you have the support you need too.

3:43 pm

Nef

found it on a "real" map (must have mis-spelt it on Google Maps...)

3:43 pm

uusue2

He has visiting nurses coming in once a week (or more if they decide it's needed) and physical therapists coming 3-4x a week. And very nice neighbors.

3:43 pm

Jillyjill

If you have a Council on Aging, they provide some transportation...

3:43 pm

uusue2

Thanks, car! It's actually nice to be able to spend some time with him.

3:43 pm

car.eeyore

Sounds great UU!

3:44 pm

Jillyjill

I assume it's home health paid under Medicare? They also should have a social worker to help you and he figure out his support needs.

3:44 pm

uusue2

He says this part of New Jersey is quite good on transportation and other options; the visiting nurse association is one he knows well (when my mom died in 1973 he donated all her clothes to them, quite a collection)

3:44 pm

Jillyjill

(15 year veteran of home health/visiting nurses)

3:45 pm

uusue2

Right, Jill; we met with the social worker before he left rehab, and it's all covered (he has Medicare plus supplemental insurance through his former employer)

3:46 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I meant the visiting nurse agency also should have a social worker to work thru his needs when you leave.

3:46 pm

uusue2

Oh, ok. They will have their first visit tomorrow, so I haven't interacted with them yet.

3:46 pm

cosdem

the first re6 clue please?

3:47 pm

car.eeyore

re + not closed

3:47 pm

Jillyjill

Ah...they have a horrendous amount of paper work to do with home care...reason I left

3:47 pm

car.eeyore

plural for re 7

3:47 pm

cosdem

thanks!

3:47 pm

car.eeyore

yvw!

3:47 pm

cosdem

5 left now.

3:48 pm

uusue2

ah - and I'll bet the paperwork gets worse every year.

3:48 pm

car.eeyore

Go Cos, Go!

3:48 pm

Nef

We were told (when DH came home from rehab) to get one of those alert buttons (the "Help I've fallen and can't get up!" things. However; I rigged up a small purse-like device for him to carry a cordless phone in; so he wore that around his neck and saved $50/ month too.

3:48 pm

car.eeyore

Very clever Nef!

3:49 pm

uusue2

My dad refused to even consider such a thing, although he does carry his cell phone with him.

3:49 pm

car.eeyore

My mom won't do either. grrrrr.

3:49 pm

uusue2

And the only devices he wanted were a walker and a reacher.

3:49 pm

Jillyjill

Works well when you have good cell service, out here in Montana my Mom doesn't so she has the life alert button...*sigh*

3:49 pm

Nef

the visiting nurses, social workers, and therapists that DH had last summer all had laptops that they charted with and he had to sign each time they came... it was a pretty neat system

3:50 pm

uusue2

Nothing for the bathroom (he's already used the toilet, so that's ok; we'll see about the shower).

3:50 pm

uusue2

He even went downstairs already! Going down was ok; coming back up was a bigger chore, but he did it.

3:50 pm

uusue2

Don't think he'll want to do that often, though.

3:50 pm

Nef

does he have to do stairs?

3:51 pm

Nef

or was he showing off?

3:51 pm

Jillyjill

The therapist will make suggestions on bathroom; no throw rugs..also grab bars and tub chiar..my mom thru a FIT but now just adores the equipment...

3:51 pm

uusue2

Mostly showing off (and he just wanted to have a look around - partly to find the videos he wanted, and to make sure his wife hadn't taken them)

3:51 pm

car.eeyore

I need to get a life alert for myself....since moving in with my Mom, I have fallen down the stairs twice!!!

3:52 pm

uusue2

Doesn't want a tub chair. Doesn't want grab bars. And it's an old tub with seating areas on the side so the chair may not be necessary. We'll see.

3:52 pm

Jillyjill

lol....my mom has a circular stair case...no handrail until 4 years ago...the only one who ever fell down them was me...

3:52 pm

Nef

I kept telling DH that they are "assistive devices" and that he wears glasses as assistive devices too. It helped a lot when he thought of it that way

3:53 pm

Jillyjill

Sometimes a gentle reminder that a safety device (like a seat belt) is important as the LAST thing he needs is another fall!!

3:53 pm

car.eeyore

It is days like this that I love this chog! So much helpful inforation and advice!

3:53 pm

cosdem

(fireworks)

3:53 pm

Jillyjill

We are an amazing support system!!

3:53 pm

Nef

uusue, I think you and the therapists will have your hands full when it comes to the bathroom assistive devices... :-)

3:53 pm

uusue2

His stairs only have a single rail (wall on the other side - they're all enclosed). Was ok until he got to the landing at the bottom; then it's a 90 degree turn (two choices, can go either way) with no rails. So that last bit was a little tough.

3:53 pm

car.eeyore

Hooray Cos!!!!

3:54 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT Cos!!

3:54 pm

Kazzer99

does anyone have the 2nd or first sp 7/7 combo - i have one - sp 5 something athletes do

3:54 pm

uusue2

Yes, it has been very helpful; I appreciate all of you more than you can know!!!

3:54 pm

uusue2

And yay cos!!!

3:54 pm

car.eeyore

Add more ending to that sp 5

3:54 pm

Jillyjill

uusue, maybe the old line..."just for awhile..." will work

3:55 pm

Nef

YAY, cos!!! WTG!!!

3:55 pm

uusue2

Nef, you are right about that! Also, he's a mechanical engineer, so he figures he can make anything work with tools he already has :-)

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

Congrats Cos

3:56 pm

Jillyjill

*groans* any engineer was always my toughest client...but together we usually could work thru things..

3:56 pm

car.eeyore

Hi Lynxxx!

3:56 pm

Nef

LOL! DH has 3 different grabber devices; each is a bit different; he has 2 he uses a lot (he drops things a lot)

3:56 pm

lynxxx

Hello Car and all

3:56 pm

Michnick

Hi all, I've been listening in. uu, have you considered having an OT come and do a home evaluaiton? sometimes little devices can make the diff b/w dependence and independence. I know!

3:56 pm

uusue2

Yes, we might go shopping for grabbers. He had a little trouble getting his shoes on :-)

3:56 pm

Jillyjill

Hi michnick

3:57 pm

Michnick

Hi all!

3:57 pm

Nef

hi Lynxxx

3:57 pm

car.eeyore

Hi michnick!

3:57 pm

uusue2

Mich, the OT is supposed to come in a day or two. That should help too, I think.

3:57 pm

Jillyjill

*turns back to put mind to grid*

3:57 pm

uusue2

Although as Jill says, stubborn old engineers are tough!

3:58 pm

uusue2

Meanwhile I am trying to figure out exactly what it is that seagulls would sing...

3:58 pm

Kazzer99

thanks for the sp

Did you get a different dress for each one?!?!?

4:10 pm

Go, Kazz, Go!

4:10 pm

uusue2

good grief, mich! hopefully that's all of them!!

4:11 pm

Michnick

Well, luckily I wore a suit and jacket for the 1st wedding, so I am searching for a new jacket now for the 2nd, and for the 3rd I'll wear one of those two. My daughters are marrying brothers so I really can't wear the same thing.

4:11 pm

uusue2

I mean, congratulations to everybody, but enough for a while!

4:11 pm

Trifioso

iugggghhhhh. another thrilling chat with mr hate in the driveway....now I REALLY need to go to yoga!

4:11 pm

Michnick

No, UU, there are 4 more kids at home, but they are younger.

4:12 pm

car.eeyore

Wow Mich! you have got your hands full, that is for sure!

4:12 pm

uusue2

ah, so there are two moms going crazy at the same time :-)

4:12 pm

car.eeyore

Sorry to hear that Trif. Go to yoga and feel better!

4:12 pm

Trifioso

wow, sisters marrying brothers! cool!

4:12 pm

Michnick

Yeh, and we really have connected, we talk almost every day.

4:12 pm

Trifioso

are they all twins?

4:12 pm

When you tell it to.

4:13 pm

car.eeyore

You tell me that all the time...no one can make you feel bad unless you let them.

4:13 pm

Michnick

It is so cool, the 2nd brother saw my daughter at the engagement of the 1st couple and literally it was like love at first sight. We are very religious so they never even spoke to each other until after the wedding, but things kind of took off from there.

4:13 pm

NM

4:13 pm

uusue2

trif, I had a really nasty ex, and it took me a while, but I did get to the point where he doesn't get to me any more.

4:13 pm

car.eeyore

Don't let him.

4:13 pm

Trifioso

phantom: tardis

4:14 pm

Michnick

No, no twins, but they are all close. The two bros, 15 mos apart and my 2 daughters - 18 mos.

4:14 pm

Trifioso

he really chaps my ass. cannot follow a rule to save his life. Two lawyers laid it out for him, and he STILL does whatever he wants, regardless of how it effects the kids. toooooool

4:14 pm

uusue2

so your two families will *really* become one - that's really cool, mich!

4:15 pm

MollyL

Sorry to hear he's still being an asshat Trif.

4:15 pm

Trifioso

I was only asking michnick because if twin sisters marry twin brothers, genetically speaking, all their children are brothers and sisters

4:15 pm

Michnick

It is awesome, UU, because we have all completely clicked.

4:15 pm

car.eeyore

Very nice Michnick!

4:15 pm

Michnick

Trif, my brother has friends where twins married twins. Kind of eerie.

4:16 pm

Trifioso

yes, a little mich. but I figure twins might have similar tastes, so there you go

4:17 pm

Trifioso

someone I knew from college met her husband in the dorm mailroom, where the boxes were alphabetical. both their last names were Fisher. And their poor kids cannot tell WHOSE side of the family anyone is from, as all their relatives are named "Fisher"

4:17 pm

Michnick

What are the chances of two sets of twins meeting & marrying?

4:17 pm

Michnick

That is funny Trif.

4:17 pm

Trifioso

I suppose it depends on the size of the town, doesnt it?

4:18 pm

Michnick

I never thought of that, in today's global village, are we even limited by that anymore/

4:19 pm

Kazzer99

hooray fireworks for me

4:19 pm

car.eeyore

Yeah Kazz!

4:19 pm

Trifioso

I heard an absolutely fascinating speaker on NPR or somewhere, saying how it used to be that people didn't travel much, and towns were TEENY, so the pool of people you could marry was teeny as well. it was pretty much "who is my age now?" and people didn't live as long, so there was a lot less divorce and such.

4:19 pm

uusue2

yay, kazz!!

4:19 pm

Nef

YAY, Kazzer!!!! WTG!!!

4:20 pm

Michnick

Sorry, there's something almost comforting about that. I always dreamed I'd marry someone I'd grown up with. I have friends that did, I have no idea if they are happier but there is something reassuring about someone who has known you always.

4:21 pm

Trifioso

I agree, mich. it's what I miss most about being married. someone who knows your history, knows your stories and your people. the idea of having to start all over again is not appealing, so much

4:21 pm

Nef

did you marry someone you grew up with Mich?

4:22 pm

4:22 pm

Michnick

No, Nef, not at all and culturally we grew up in very different types of homes (his parents were holocaust survivors) so I miss some of that shared life experience.

I recently (~3 years ago) got back together with the guy I was engaged to in highschool; we have lots of memories, which is kind of fun (also a 38-year gap, which is a little weird)

That is so cool UU. My mother's best friend was engaged to her high school BF, but their parents broke it up bec. they were too young. They each married others, divorced & then got back together. They are in their 80s & still sooo in love.

Mich, my DH is someone I met when I was 26. We would have never met if we were back in tiny villages in the olden days; yet we are pretty much soul mates. No one in my home town would have been as sweet and kind as he has been

4:25 pm

mkg

well god willing we will get together again sooner than 5 years more, but well, e veryone is doing his own thing and living all over the place. not easy. and it is not easy traveling with a bunch of small kids either.

4:26 pm

zoozzoom

true, Nef, how are you keeping?

6:21 pm

zoozzoom

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We had quite a discussion on po4 this AM. Crossy and Aloy were waxing rhapsodic on pulled po4 this morning, and no one sent them to the PB even though they spelled it out.

6:27 pm

Dang! I need to brush up on spelling existentialists names again...

6:27 pm

6:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

7:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

7:01 pm

Nef

Cities in Montana seem to have nicer weather than MN lately

7:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am so done with this winter.

7:02 pm

lbdawger

7:05 pm

I'd like to go there sometime too; but think that the traffic would be a bear

7:06 pm

lbdawger

what does JP stand for?

7:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Jamaica Plain.

7:06 pm

MollyL

My grandmothers house was out by Nira Rock, before they tore it down. My cousins are the ones who told me it was a slum. I haven't been there since I was little.

7:07 pm

Nef

oh! This old house did a couple of houses there!

7:07 pm

MollyL

MollyL

Well yeah TO, except we are emotional as well as logical beings.

7:21 pm

Nef

TO, sometimes people aren't *here* when we talk to them (maybe ran to the BR or something) and they miss it in the chog. I figure it helps to try again

7:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i guess so or we would not even consider it, no?

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

but mom, ask away. i am fighting the sleep i desparately need, so i will be here a while

7:22 pm

Mom

I agree with Nef, I will say hello and then have to run off for a bit and sometimes the chat goes so fast that it might be 2-3 pages later when I get back.
Are you talking about babble, TO?

7:22 pm

MollyL

One time I had to ask Soodle if I had offended her in some way because she kept ignoring me in chat. Turns out she was just missing my comments when she was clicking on other open windows. Many of us are "multi-tasking" while we are here.

8:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:38 pm

Oh Nrkii, poor guy. He must be having a hard time, just like you. You never have to feel bad telling someone you can't talk anymore. You need to do what is right for you.

Nrkii, it sounds like your Dad took up a lot of room in this guy's heart and he doesn't know what to do, now that he doesn't have that anymore. It also sounds like he's leaning too hard on you all. That's tough for you.

8:46 pm

jmcnrick

it was a robot motorcycle computer game -- everything boy

8:46 pm

Shirlockc

thx for the other di

8:46 pm

9:19 pm

Hi stid.

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

hi stiddie

9:20 pm

Jacula

jmc - you won't go far wrong adding 'er' to everything. LOL

9:20 pm

stidmama

dan -- is our darling girl turning into a ladybug???

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

9:20 pm

dan2bit

heh - that was her first swingset ride

9:21 pm

dan2bit

we've gotten a lot of use out of what was originally her halloween costume

9:21 pm

featherbee

9, home stretch

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

go feather go!

9:21 pm

stidmama

what fun, dan! I used to love swings, so did stidkid #1

9:21 pm

Jacula

I had thought, before the new version of Babble, yet to come, was pitched, about adding 2 versions of the stats to BabAnon. One straight first 2 letter list and another the same but with clues.

9:22 pm

stidmama

stidkid #2 tended to climb whatever tr4 the swing was attached to.

9:22 pm

featherbee

i'd like the 2 letter list at times

9:22 pm

stidmama

that's an interesting thought, jac. and I concur with the lovely and honorable feather.

9:22 pm

Jacula

You could op4 up whichever you chose. However, given the work involved, I think I'll just wait until the new version of Babble arrives.

9:23 pm

featherbee

i like to go almost listless on the smaller grids, sometimes asking for only the first two letters from the chog, but i feel it might be annoying to others

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

2 letters without stats you mean?

9:23 pm

Jacula

jmc - no, 2 letters with stats.

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

but that is what lickety has now

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

so you mean to add a list with clues?

9:24 pm

Jacula

I prefer to go listless almost all of the time, but that may be because I have the time to do that.

9:24 pm

featherbee

oh, i thought you meant something that said 10 tr words, etc

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

i try to be listless at least to 1/2 way but some nights it gets too late and i give in

9:25 pm

Jacula

jmc - I will perhaps add a lsit with clues if the new form of Babble doesn't arrive within the next 6 months. Let's wait and see.

9:25 pm

stidmama

oh! just fyi, initial plan is for a meet-up of some kind in Seattle on April 16. DC Seain will be in town!!!!

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

maybe when i have been playing 6 years i can go listless regularly

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

cool stiddie

9:25 pm

featherbee

5. the un words stumped me for a bit.

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

i will be working that day!

9:26 pm

Jacula

jmc - true - but BrandyJack and myself were doing first-2 letter lists with stats before Lickety was around.

9:26 pm

stidmama

yep. Lesson plans be d***ed. I plan on a full day of recreation!

9:26 pm

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

goodnight with 55 left

9:35 pm

Jacula

Goodnight jmc. Sleep well.

9:39 pm

Jacula

The object of my exercise most times now is to find out how to sleep as well as I once used to pre The Menopause, i.e. no night sweats, no weird dreams etc. I tried plain, unsweetened soya milk the other night, as recommended by my mother. I don't know if it worked or not, since it was a very cold night. I didn't sweat, I couldn't even get the cold from the marrow of my bones by hugging my Other Half AND a hot water bottle. I didn't dream, weird or otherwise, because I couldn't sleep because I was so cold! *sigh*

9:40 pm

Jacula

But, like my daughter, it seems soya doesn't agree with my innards. So, I had to get up about an hour after I'd gone to bed.

9:41 pm

Jacula

No detail needed, methinks! Does anyone Babbling need any more clues?

9:45 pm

10:04 pm

Pinikula

<-- doesn't like 'green' olives (the kind with pimentos)... * shudder *

10:04 pm

kje

I LOVE olives - every kid, anytime

10:05 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the ko 6/33 clue. I just found the word

10:05 pm

kje

10:05 pm

Minveryork

Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

10:05 pm

kje

hi min!

10:05 pm

Pinikula

ewwww

10:06 pm

Pinikula

hi min

10:06 pm

Jacula

Pini - I can't stand olives, black or green!

10:07 pm

Minveryork

I do not like olives either, but my husband loves them

10:07 pm

Jacula

Extra Virgin Olive Oil however, is quite another matter. I use that for a lot of my recipes.

10:08 pm

kje

mmmmmm - kalamata.... nicoise... oil cured...mazanilla... pincholine... that big greek green one I cannot remember the name of right now... DELICIOUS

10:08 pm

Pinikula

I'll stick with the basic "black"

10:09 pm

Jacula

Hi kje. *throws up in kje's lap, due to olive references*. Sorry kid! You mad the last reference to them and it was one too many.

10:09 pm

kje

my niece... barely a year old... sticks those typical ripe olives (black ones) o all her fingers ad the eats them off

10:09 pm

kje

at christmas she ate about a whole can by herself... just walked around the table sticking her fingers out for people to load

10:09 pm

Pinikula

my grandkids do that, too, kje...I think it's mandatory for kids!

10:09 pm

Jacula

Bleurgh!

10:10 pm

Jacula

double bleurgh!

10:10 pm

Pinikula

sorry jac...

10:10 pm

flashman1998

Jacula, thank you for the help....finally completed

10:10 pm

Pinikula

wtg flash

10:10 pm

kje

but she'll eat them all

10:11 pm

Pinikula

brb - gotta check on something

10:11 pm

Jacula

flashman - well done. I'd give you *~*~*~*~* fireworks, but I'm too busy throwing up due to all the olive stories.;-)

10:13 pm

Jacula

Hang on, did someone just say canned olives? They're worse than fresh! oh dear, bleurgh again.

10:13 pm

Jacula

In case you haven't all got it now, I HATE OLIVES, except for in virgin oil form.

10:14 pm

noodles99

help please!

10:15 pm

Jacula

I don't use salt much either, except to draw the bitter moisture out of aubergines, for moussaka.

10:15 pm

Jacula

noodles, help wth what?

10:15 pm

noodles99

the i's please

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

oof

10:17 pm

jesdraggon

looong day

10:18 pm

Jacula

Thre are only 4 i words. The first is io + what day it is. The second refers to electrically charged particles. The 3rd is a heavy metal and the 4th is the plural of that.

10:21 pm

Jacula

Failing that, see the last 2 words are ir4 - what you do to smoothe laundered clothes and the ir5 as the verb form of that.

10:21 pm

Jacula

I'm not going to spell it out any more than that!

10:22 pm

noodles99

thanks:)

10:22 pm

noodles99

got it now

10:24 pm

Jacula

Well done, noodles.

10:24 pm

noodles99

i cant belivei didnt see them!

10:26 pm

noodles99

i mean- believe i didn't see them

10:26 pm

Jacula

Ah, we all say that at one time or another, noodles! No shame in it.

10:27 pm

Jacula

Nodles - the not spelling it out thing is a long-term old Babble thing, so don't feel bad 'cos I said that.

10:28 pm

noodles99

great:)

10:29 pm

Jacula

Sometimes, we Old Guard (Old Hags, as some might describe us) forget that new members haven't been privy to past history here in Babbleland.

10:29 pm

Jacula

Some new members realise our omission and others take offence.

10:29 pm

noodles99

oh

10:30 pm

Jacula

Don't be frightened, noodles, we're nice. I promise you!

10:31 pm

noodles99

i can already tell!

10:31 pm

Jacula

Can you?

10:31 pm

Jacula

How?

10:31 pm

noodles99

well yeah

10:31 pm

noodles99

the way you helpedme

10:32 pm

noodles99

ohhhh

10:32 pm

noodles99

g2g

10:32 pm

Jacula

BTW, noodles, I hope you are the nice warm noodles and not those thin, dry, spikey ones.

10:32 pm

Jacula

Okay noodles. See you again. 'Byee!x

10:34 pm

Jacula

Hmm, not sure if I've got us a new victim/Babbler or lost one there.

10:35 pm

Jacula

I suppose it all depends if they understand our varied humour.

10:35 pm

Jacula

I think I've gained one. Time will tell!

10:49 pm

Pinikula

back

10:51 pm

Jillyjill

back to chat for a bit...hi Jac! and Pini!

10:51 pm

Pinikula

hi JJ

10:53 pm

Pinikula

how's it going?

10:53 pm

Jillyjill

okay, how about you?

10:53 pm

Pinikula

oh, it's going...

10:53 pm

Pinikula

SSDD so to speak

10:54 pm

Jillyjill

you sound like i feel....

10:54 pm

Jillyjill

sorta putting one foot in front of the other...

10:55 pm

Pinikula

pretty much

10:56 pm

Pinikula

sorry I'm not more lively :/

10:57 pm

Jillyjill

Me neither..guess jac is off?

10:57 pm

Pinikula

thought I'd stop in here to offer clues to liven it up on my end

10:57 pm

Pinikula

I'm guessing so...looks like I missed her by about 10 mins or so

10:58 pm

Jillyjill

Are you done with the grid?

10:58 pm

Pinikula

yup, you?

10:59 pm

stidmama

back for a minute. hey jilly

10:59 pm

Pinikula

hey stid

11:00 pm

Jillyjill

HI stiddy! And yes Pini, been done for awhile

11:00 pm

Pinikula

stid, you done?

11:00 pm

Jacula

I'm still here.

11:01 pm

Jillyjill

YAY....hi jac!

11:01 pm

Pinikula

hey jac

11:01 pm

stidmama

no pini, 49 left

11:01 pm

Jillyjill

You can do it stid...

11:02 pm

Pinikula

ewe kin due et!

11:02 pm

Pinikula

git'r dun, gf

11:02 pm

stidmama

I am not really trying to finish. Working on my master's paper, feeling very tired, very "lost" and not in a good head space for filling in the gaps. *sigh*

11:03 pm

Pinikula

oh, sorry to hear, stid...but I know you'll do well on the paper!

11:03 pm

Jacula

I'm listening to Queen now and then off to try for more sleep. So, Happy Babbling all! x

11:03 pm

Jillyjill

Pini, liked what you said in your profile...the native american poem

11:03 pm

Pinikula

night jac!

11:03 pm

Pinikula

thx JJ

11:04 pm

Jillyjill

(((stid)))...*hands warm cup of tea*

11:04 pm

stidmama

actually, it's crap pini. But it's the best crap I can produce at this point in my life, so it will have to do.

11:04 pm

stidmama

thanks jilly

11:04 pm

Pinikula

I thought about posting it unmodified, but preferred to 'personalize' it a bit...hope the author doesn't mind too much

11:04 pm

Jillyjill

NIters Jac...sweet dreams and a solid sleep...

11:05 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams jac

11:05 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ps5-12? Thanks

11:05 pm

Pinikula

now now ... keep positive thoughts; perhaps the profs will think differently

11:05 pm

Pinikula

ps + 3 vowels

11:05 pm

stidmama

ps + three vowels, babblet

11:05 pm

Pinikula

* snap *

11:06 pm

Jillyjill

Oh stid...I am sure it is wonderful...those I know doing their Masters feel the same way.

11:06 pm

stidmama

very positive thoughts pini. I don't really care too much what they think at this point! I am just trying to not embarass myself too much in front of my descendents if they someday look it up in the archives at the college!

11:06 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, stidmama.

11:07 pm

Pinikula

Just tell 'em "the dog ate it," stid, and then ask the library to lose it when it's not needed anymore :)

11:07 pm

Jillyjill

Well stiddy, you are doing much better than I...had always intended to go back for my Masters....

11:07 pm

stidmama

actually, he DID eat several of the studies I was using. Fortunately, AFTER I had made all my notes. They are... "dog-eared" as they say! LOL

11:07 pm

Pinikula

I work in a Masters program and am totally lost when they start talking academics... :/

11:08 pm

stidmama

you still can jilly (misery loves company, you know!)

11:08 pm

Pinikula

oh my, stid!!!

11:09 pm

Pinikula

...so, I envy those who continue their pursuit

11:09 pm

stidmama

I thought it was sorta funny. There I was, working away, and there he was right behind my chair, eating the corner of the folder that held all the studies.

11:09 pm

Pinikula

(especially when they'r friends)

11:09 pm

stidmama

well you know pini -- I didn't get here just boom flash... it's work. And most days the last two quarters I am not sure it's worth it.

11:09 pm

Pinikula

well, guess he needed a little fiber in his diet ;)

11:10 pm

Jillyjill

hmmm, about to turn 53 and I never could figure out what it was I wanted it in (Nursing)...and now with hubby disabled, it's not in the cards.

11:10 pm

Pinikula

but, stid, I still have to get the UG degree before I could even consider an MA/MFA

11:10 pm

stidmama

well jilly -- that is O.K. "life-long learning" does NOT refer to only formal education that results in a piece of paper. It is about the interest we take in the world and the people around us.

11:11 pm

Jillyjill

If it counts, I am working on a Certificate in Youth Ministry...Masters level...

11:11 pm

stidmama

well, no time like the present, big sis! *stern little sister look* BUT. only if you want. AND. only if you want.

11:11 pm

stidmama

I think that counts, jilly! LOL

11:11 pm

Pinikula

When I graduated HS, well, girls were going to school for their M.R.S. degree...

11:11 pm

Jillyjill

Me too pini...

11:12 pm

stidmama

I still think you could take a class here and there in various areas and figure out if you even like college courses!

11:12 pm

Pinikula

...I didn't think I needed that degree that quickly...

11:12 pm

stidmama

I loved geology... and you are BOTH not that much older than I am.

11:12 pm

Pinikula

I've thought about that, too, stid...especially with the tuition discount I get.

11:12 pm

stidmama

"spork" is so a wurd.

11:13 pm

Pinikula

...just have to figure out if I can get time off work to take the course (unless they're after work hours)

11:13 pm

Pinikula

well, in the urban-dictionary maybe, stid

11:13 pm

stidmama

'zactly. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Take a creative writing class. Or a beginning science class -- botany maybe. Or history!

11:14 pm

Jillyjill

my nemesis phantom was soup...cannot tell how many times i tried it...

11:14 pm

Pinikula

creative writing? that scares me!!!

11:14 pm

Pinikula

I'm not sure I could take a class from my students!!!

11:14 pm

stidmama

if one can wear a sardonic smile, then why isn't there a sardon?!?

11:14 pm

Jillyjill

You know, I think just taking courses even without a degree in mind is extremly important..I do that

11:14 pm

Pinikula

Now, if they had a degree in genealogy, I'd be interested in taking that one!

11:15 pm

stidmama

then audit it (not for credit, just for fun). It's about getting your feet wet, not about getting As.

11:15 pm

stidmama

I bet they have something similar -- European history, perhaps?

11:16 pm

stidmama

okay, now that I have you two ladies engaged, I just remembered a particularly big gap that I wanted to try to fill before 10 tonight. back in a bit.

11:16 pm

Jillyjill

I try and catch an Adult Ed course now and then...some computer, some creative....just keeps the mind active (as does Babble)

11:16 pm

Pinikula

hb stid :)

11:17 pm

Jillyjill

see you l8r stid

11:17 pm

Pinikula

Makes sense, JJ; just not sure about committing to the 10 weeks to make it through a course...

11:17 pm

Pinikula

...I'm sure I'm always just talking myself out of it though.

11:17 pm

Pinikula

I guess I should really see what's out there that might peak my interest.

11:18 pm

Jillyjill

There's always distance learning online

11:18 pm

Pinikula

I'm guessing I'd be best off trying to find something at work...

11:18 pm

Pinikula

...I mean with the tuition break and everything...

11:18 pm

Pinikula

...no sense going elsewhere and paying full price. :)

11:19 pm

Jillyjill

Where do you work...I am assuming a university?

11:19 pm

Pinikula

affirmative, JJ

11:19 pm

Jillyjill

Most of them have online courses, at least here in Montana

11:19 pm

Pinikula

I'm the Business Manager for a small master's program (currently ranked 8th in the nation) *proud grin*

11:20 pm

Jillyjill

Wow *takes hat off to pini*

11:20 pm

Pinikula

I don't know of any online courses here, JJ...at least haven't heard of any...most of our stuff is 'in residence'

11:20 pm

Pinikula

* curtsy * thanks ;)

11:21 pm

Jillyjill

I would guess maybe not, our universities here are full program, imagine yours is a pretty selective group

11:22 pm

Jillyjill

Man, do not know if I'm gonna make flip...fading fast..

11:22 pm

Pinikula

Not sure if the Uni itself is selective, but I know our program is...this year we had 520 applications for 12 seats; last year we had 726 for 12

11:23 pm

Pinikula

Don't let me keep you, JJ; however, the convo's been very welcome - thanks ;)

11:23 pm

Jillyjill

People seem to return to school during economic slowdowns....historically speaking

11:24 pm

Jillyjill

I am also enjoying it and had really looked forward to the flip, but my body is dragging...

11:24 pm

Pinikula

That's what we thought about last year's count; this year, we think going to an online app system reduced the numbers...won't be able to tell until next year

11:24 pm

Pinikula

I know what you mean...so, please don't think you have to stick around for me...

11:24 pm

Pinikula

...I'm sure others will be popping in soon enough (if even I make it that long)

11:25 pm

Jillyjill

I wish our youngest (Chemist) would go to grad school, he has been struggling to get a permanent job...working for a contract company 6 weeks one place then 2 days another...

11:26 pm

Pinikula

We have a great science complex!

11:26 pm

Jillyjill

Being in competition with those with experience or those with masters...*sigh*

11:27 pm

Pinikula

I found that when I was unemployed and looking for a job 6 years ago...everyone wanted a degree; work experienced was, well, not very appreciated

11:27 pm

Jillyjill

He keeps saying he's not sure what he wants to pursue....well he sure sounds like me...but I had a job

11:27 pm

Pinikula

...although I can't figure out how 25 years (at that time) was not equivalent to a degree

11:28 pm

Jillyjill

Now it's all about how little can they pay you....

11:28 pm

Pinikula

He's still young enough to have the ability to focus on a career path...I think we're in the era where we almost take what we can get! :/

11:29 pm

Jillyjill

When I went into nursing school, "they" all told me to go for my bachelors, that it soon would be 'entry level'....31 years later it has never made any difference except twice, once I made 10 cents more and one job required it...

11:29 pm

Pinikula

My program offers Graduate Teaching Fellowships to all of our incoming student (includes full tuition waiver and monthly stipend)

11:30 pm

Pinikula

(+ medical coverage)

11:30 pm

Jillyjill

Wow, that would be nice for him...

11:31 pm

Pinikula

Yeah, I'm not sure a degree would have helped me much in the field that I'm in (executive administration), but then again, I could probably be higher up the totem pole if I had that degree...

11:31 pm

Jillyjill

well, he's ok for one more year since Obama's plan extended my ability to cover him

11:31 pm

Pinikula

...but I like what I do, so I can't complain much.

11:31 pm

Pinikula

He should check our Uni website to see what the science depts offer...

11:31 pm

Jillyjill

Kinda where I'm at, just like to go to work, take care of people, and go home...

11:32 pm

Pinikula

that's right!

11:32 pm

Jillyjill

Link?

11:32 pm

Pinikula

www.uoregon.edu

11:33 pm

Jillyjill

ty, will go and bookmark it

11:33 pm

Pinikula

not sure if the www is needed anymore...could just type uoregon.edu in the URL and get there

11:33 pm

Pinikula

11:37 pm

Jillyjill

Where I was REALLY lucky was when we first married and were stationed outside San Francisco, the disease later to be AIDS had started, we dicided to have me wait to work; I took a job running the music for the military parish, and filled in as receptionist...started into computers in 1982!

11:37 pm

m9f9l

11:37 pm

Pinikula

11:37 pm

Jillyjill

Pinikula

11:39 pm

m9f9l

I talk to the trees.... but they don't listen to me...

11:43 pm

m9f9l

LOL!!!!!

11:43 pm

Pinikula

I think he more 'talked/sang' than 'sang'

11:43 pm

m9f9l

I LOVE his song though and the way he "sings" it!

11:43 pm

m9f9l

I LOVE his song though and the way he "sings" it!

11:54 pm

cosdem

watching that joan rivers reality show.. shes a lil bit insane

11:54 pm

Pinikula

I'm avoiding that one...

11:55 pm

Pinikula

...not sure I could watch a person that 'crazy' with such a plastic face.

11:56 pm

cosdem

she spread ashes of her dead friends on judy garland's old house lawn without asking the owner for permission then when the owner got mad joan told him his type was the reason judy garland did drugs and drank

11:56 pm

Pinikula

oy vey

11:56 pm

Pinikula

a little out there, eh?

11:56 pm

cosdem

lol a lil bit

11:57 pm

Pinikula

It just amazes me as to how some people think...

11:57 pm

m9f9l

11:57 pm

Pinikula
