1:24 am

rururocks

smoking is the big one

1:25 am

grannyrose

jilli, the way i look at it, is...once a smoker, always a smoker...there's NO SUCH THING as just a social smoke. never again, once i quit.

1:25 am

jillibus

quite right, granny.

1:25 am

rururocks

good luck with quitting granny

1:26 am

1:42 am

grannyrose

they've done it here, ruru. but the young ones still seem to be able to afford a pack.

1:43 am

jillibus

It makes me sick to see the young ones smoking

1:43 am

grannyrose

jilli, if they only knew how hard it is to stop...*sigh*

1:43 am

jillibus

my d-i-l's brother has incurable stage 4 lung cancer -- a heavy smoker.

1:44 am

grannyrose

fortunately, jilli, i have had all the tests...no sign of the big C, yet

1:44 am

jillibus

but of course the young are immortal -- bad things don't happen to THEM, just to others...

1:45 am

grannyrose

hooot, sort of glad i live in australia, now

1:54 am

jillibus

I know one clue I'd like -- the au8, which I heard was a tad unusual...

1:54 am

scouser

Lickety URL not found. Oh dear !

1:55 am

hootowl

I guess that means yes?

1:55 am

jillibus

volleymomdee did post the URL a while ago -- maybe it's in her bio

1:56 am

grannyrose

au8. au + cross letter + fifth vowel + alternative spelling for the opposite of dat

1:56 am

grannyrose

* day*

1:56 am

hootowl

ok - ty

1:57 am

jillibus

ok - I'll wait for tomorrow

1:59 am

hootowl

have to remember to remove yesterdays list from my profile too

2:05 am

scouser

I mean that Google cannot find it so something really unavailable at the moment. The au8 is a mineral presumably named for the place in France where it was found?

2:31 am

Haz1558

Yes, mari. If you scroll down a bit, there was a discussion about it and jillibus gave a web address to find it. Somebody's taken out a cable and put it back in the wrong place or else the sellotape has slipped.

2:31 am

mari

You're welcome, frogface.

2:35 am

Haz1558

She'll be bouncy but awfully intelligent with collie genes in her.

2:36 am

Karys

I think a little better than expected, except for the nightimes when she wakes and doesn't like being alone !

2:36 am

FMitch

Will need some training and much activity :)

2:37 am

Haz1558

I know, nothing like a plaintive puppy to pull on the heartstrings.

2:37 am

FMitch

Do we get to see any pics?

2:38 am

Karys

Fortunately we have the fields just across the road, so as soon as she can go out hubby has plans to take her over there.

2:38 am

Karys

I will hopefully be downloading from Roger's camera later today.

2:39 am

Karys

There, monopolised the chat long enough !

2:40 am

Haz1558

You'll not be needing much other entertainment, puppies are such fun to watch.

2:40 am

Haz1558

Monopolised the chat? My dear, you're an amateur!

2:40 am

FMitch

LOL!

2:41 am

Karys

We had a lovely day yesterday, it was warm enough to be in and out of the garden.

2:41 am

Haz1558

Sure you've been quiet for months. You've worked up chat monopoly entitlement.

2:41 am

Karys

Lol !

2:41 am

FMitch

It was -5 this morning and is going up to +10 today.

Karys

And, I forgot to tell you, puppy's name is Josie !

2:44 am

2:44 am

herinfernallady

FMitch

whichever, crossy, I'm not shy :-)

6:35 am

crosshair

thats good cause you know me,bashful,reserved...

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Ruby, are you you and your hubby?

6:37 am

rubyfoo

he is improving a little, day by day, but it is hard to keep him from overdoing stuff. I've invited his (dreaded) daughter to come for a week in March, because she needs to see him before he has another crisis

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Good luck with that.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

6:38 am

for those who wish to chase the rabbit,vollymomdee did the grid in exactly one hour at the flip..bummed crossy out;/ lol

6:38 am

Free clue!

6:38 am

6:38 am

Scrabbler

One hour, huh?

6:38 am

rubyfoo

fit for tat! sorry!

6:38 am

crosshair

exactly one hour

6:39 am

Scrabbler

We are a generous group today. Three free clues below!

6:39 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine doing it that fast!

6:39 am

ladycece920

i've been at it for over an hour, and don't particularly like this puzzle!!!

6:39 am

Scrabbler

That doesn't sound like fun--all work and no chatting.

6:40 am

crosshair

was too fast for crossy

6:40 am

rubyfoo

makes for a dull boy!

6:42 am

Scrabbler

I have to leave soon for the dentist. This damn tooth may have to go--root canal several years ago--> failed. Then an apicoectomy (sort of a reverse root canal--window drilled into jaw bone) 2 yrs ago. Now bony lump, slightly tender, growing out of the jaw.

6:42 am

smaandmea

Morning all. Just returned grandkids after a week and turned back to the relaxation that is Babble. However, Lickety page not opening up - is that for me or all?

6:42 am

crosshair

ouch

6:42 am

rubyfoo

poor scrabbler!!!!

6:42 am

uusue2

ok, if anyone is following the saga of my dad, I've put another update in my profile. Short story - he's fine.

6:42 am

Scrabbler

Hi sma

6:43 am

Scrabbler

I am more concerned about the financial impact, LOL.

6:43 am

uusue2

ooh, scrabs, that sounds awful! Hope things get resolved and that you are out of pain soon.

6:43 am

lillion

hey everybody i have to go swimming at my school

Hi Lillion

6:44 am

Scrabbler

Sue--good news about you dad, and I love the list of physics words.

6:44 am

uusue2

I'm not having trouble with lickety but I guess a lot of people are. I use chrome; maybe that helps?

6:44 am

crosshair

crossy loves chrome

6:45 am

Scrabbler

I fear that the future of this tooth = extraction and then an implant and my bank account goes minus several thousand dollars. Ouch!

6:45 am

rubyfoo

nice to hear some good news, sue!

6:45 am

crosshair

was firefox fan for years but chrome is so much faster

6:45 am

uusue2

thx, scrabs, I am really pleased that he is doing so well.

6:45 am

Scrabbler

I'm still happy with Firefox and V4 is on the horizon.

6:45 am

smaandmea

List, folks?

6:46 am

Scrabbler

I tried Chrome last yr on my desktop.

6:46 am

uusue2

me too, crossy; I have an ancient computer at work and have to use firefox on it; chrome is so much nicer, imho

6:46 am

Scrabbler

Maybe Lickety is away.

6:46 am

crosshair

i know lickety had the list up and running at the flip...

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Alright, kids, Scrabs must get ready and drive to see the dentist. I'll bring my netbook and go to a Wifi place later.

7:21 am

7:22 am

JBV

sounds delish

7:23 am

JBV

meanwhile in real life - I'm having shredded wheat with bran and blueberries

7:23 am

carleekat

sounds yum too jbv :)

7:24 am

JBV

well the blueberries are fresh, but the rest is quite mundane - but I have to get serious again about this weight "loss" program which has more or less turned into maintenance

7:25 am

car.eeyore

JBV...2 weeks into my diet changes and I am feeling so much better!!!!

7:25 am

JBV

a particular plan, car? I'

7:25 am

carleekat

yay for car.ee and jbv

7:25 am

JBV

I'm doing Weight watchers - has worked very well for me in the past, time to get serious as I say

7:27 am

car.eeyore

I am using Calorie Count online to track my daily calories / nutrition / activities. Food wise I am making good, thoughtful choices based on dieting in the past. For supplements, I am using Arbonne products. They have a great fizzing beverage that burns calories, curbs hunger and boosts metabolism, which definitely takes me through the afternoon slump.

7:28 am

car.eeyore

Oh...and portion control!!!!!

7:28 am

carleekat

i have never heard of arbonne

7:28 am

JBV

yes, portion control - very important - at last week's meeting the theme was "T.L.A.R. " - ......

7:29 am

JBV

"that looks about right" when eyeballing portions

7:30 am

JBV

not a good motto to follow - that was the point :)

7:30 am

carleekat

there..just need a 7 and the 8

7:30 am

car.eeyore

It is a skin care / cosmetic / health & wellness company. I was an active Rep for a while...and highly recommend all of their products! For instance, their weight loss products are all Vegan certified...they even developed a Vegan capsule for the supplements!

7:31 am

carleekat

like mary kat and avon?

7:31 am

car.eeyore

I have my scale and measuring cups out. Until I can get my portion accurately, i don't want to chance it.

7:31 am

carleekat

kay* even

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Yes carlee.

7:32 am

carleekat

we dont have it...and i likely would not buy...have always had horrible time sending anything i dont like back

7:32 am

JBV

me too, car - about measuring I mean

7:33 am

car.eeyore

I was horrified how over the mark I had been.

7:34 am

JBV

I know - a cup of cereal in a bowl doesn't look like much - but I fill it up with fruit

7:35 am

JBV

I cannot believe there are 5 F words in this grid - I have zero

7:35 am

car.eeyore

Exactly!!!! And after a week or two...it fills you up just fine.

7:36 am

JBV

please clue anyway, Mom, I can't seem to find it :)

8:09 am

phaeton

I do Mom

8:10 am

Judi

Oh, I know, Crossy. The whole situation just pisses me off, because: there is no shortage of gas or oil. There is unrest in the Middle East (and how is this any different than the past 75 years or so?), so it has the potential to jeopardize our ability to acquire fossil fuels. It's possitively infuriating.

8:10 am

in this part of canada for instance,we have 4(yup just 4) major reineries,they are all over 25 years old and are all running at 105% capacity..why you ask,cause our talking heads in ottawa decided not to invest in this cause we have cheap oil coming from middle east all mostly refined...alberta..we do not need no new bitrium refining plant..we have cheap mid east oil,so it is ok to truck it all across the coun try to get refined..and on it goes

What Hazlitt thought of Giffordâ€™s journal may be deduced from this passage in The Spirit of the Age (1825):

His Journal, then, is a depository for every species of political sophistry and personal calumny. There is no abuse or corruption that does not there find a Jesuitical palliation or a bare-faced vindication. There we meet the slime of hypocrisy, the varnish of courts, the cant of pedantry, the cobwebs of the law, the iron hand of power. Its object is as mischievous as the means by which it is pursued are odious.

my old lab (13 next month) has lumps and bumps all over her body - she is getting very thin now so the lumps are very noticable. I hate to see her failing like she is but no pain yet so we will love her as long as we can.

1:39 pm

frogface

hi peri hurshy lindy and everyone else xxx

1:39 pm

hurshy

so i had an unexpectedly positive experience today

1:40 pm

periwinkle

what was it hursh?

1:41 pm

frogface

te5/16 pls xxx

1:42 pm

hurshy

as you may have heard me mention, i'm pretty miserable at my current job, so have been looking around. there aren't a whole lot of options for me. on a semi-whim, i went to a sort of open-interview time at a swingset store. i have never done any sales or retail of any kind, so i was pretty much expecting them to be like, why are you here, don't be crazy. but the guy was really nice, he really liked me, and i'm going back tomorrow for a second interview.

1:42 pm

hurshy

it boggled my mind that he actually liked me!

1:42 pm

periwinkle

yay hursh, good luck to you!!

1:42 pm

periwinkle

why wouldn't he like you?

1:43 pm

MollyL

That's great Hursh. Isn't it nice to get positive feedback.

1:43 pm

hurshy

thanks peri. it may not pay enough for me to pay my mortgage, though, i haven't found that part out yet. but it is NOT commission based, which is good because i like stability better.

1:43 pm

periwinkle

I need the te5/16 too

1:43 pm

hurshy

i just don't expect people to like me, that's all.

1:43 pm

MollyL

te 5/16...te + first three of green avacado dip

1:43 pm

periwinkle

well I have never met you in person but you seem nice to me

1:43 pm

hurshy

thanks molly

1:44 pm

periwinkle

ty for te5

1:45 pm

hurshy

thanks peri :) i don't know, it's just this weird hang-up i have. and esp because i was very shy as a kid, thinking of myself doing sales - well, i thought i wouldn't be at all the kind of person they would want. but he said they don't believe in high pressure sales, and he doesn't even like to use the word salesperson.

1:45 pm

hurshy

he said it's just about providing people information about the products and making them feel comfortable and stuff like that.

1:45 pm

periwinkle

well, if you are offered the job it wouldnot hurt to try something new

1:46 pm

periwinkle

I was very shy as a kid too and am stsill very uncomfortable in most social situations

1:46 pm

hurshy

i would love to try something new. my only concern is that i would be giving up as secure a situation as you can have in these economic times for something that, who knows, could go out of business.

1:46 pm

periwinkle

does it sound like something you would like and something you could do, at lest for now?

1:47 pm

uusue2

hi again, all - aslindy, sorry for dropping the ball back there! I am at work and it sometimes takes priority :-)

1:47 pm

periwinkle

tht is true, why not wait and see how the 2nd interview goes before doing any worrying

1:47 pm

uusue2

anyway I am fine, my dad is fine, and I've added yet another update to my profile (as of yesterday, anyway).

1:47 pm

hurshy

it sounds like something i would like, yeah, that's the only reason i went!

1:47 pm

uusue2

hurshy, I am so happy to hear that you might have another gig!

1:47 pm

hurshy

good to hear, uusue!

1:48 pm

to6/24 pls xxx

1:48 pm

periwinkle

un5/16 pls

1:48 pm

hurshy

oh, well, uusue, he liked me, but there are still two big obstacles - the other people he also liked, and whether it pays my bills. but even if it doesn't work out, at least it gives me a couple of days of feeling good that someone liked me. :)

1:49 pm

uusue2

to**** the line, following orders

1:49 pm

hurshy

you better be to6/24 the line

1:49 pm

uusue2

The beginning of Lent. The best thing I was ever taught about Lent is to not give something up, rather do something good that will benefit someone else...each day. Of Lent, and then extend that into the rest of the year.

6:44 pm

car.eeyore

I was feeling really good...went for my walk...just had a great dinner....headache is now crashing in. Words are blurry.

6:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

6:45 pm

MollyL

Aw, sorry to hear that Car. Hope you get a good night's sleep. Maybe that will help.

6:46 pm

car.eeyore

The last 2 nights I have been having such disturbing dreams.

6:46 pm

car.eeyore

Thank you for caring you guys....it means a lot.

6:47 pm

Angela

that's me almost every night - hubby thinks i'm deranged :)

6:47 pm

MollyL

Disturbing dreams and a not so good night's sleep is not conducive to healing. Hope that you sleep sound tonight and have pleasant dreams Car.

6:48 pm

Angela

couple of Tylenol PMs will do the trick...

6:48 pm

car.eeyore

But honestly, just until a short while ago...I was feeling great!

6:48 pm

car.eeyore

I like melatonin Angela!

6:49 pm

car.eeyore

Although...you may be right! Tylenol may help with the headache.

6:49 pm

Angela

it's basically just benadryl with pain meds...but it works for me when melatonin doesn't.

6:50 pm

car.eeyore

Oh! Duh! I know why I have the headache! When I went walking I forgot my ear covers. It was much colder than I thought and my ears felt like they were bleeding by the time I got home. Thus....headache.

6:50 pm

Angela

cold ears = headache?

6:51 pm

car.eeyore

For me...yes.

6:51 pm

car.eeyore

I have some funky inner ear anatomy going on.

6:51 pm

Angela

6:51 pm

car.eeyore

I also get migraine associated vertigo.

6:52 pm

Angela

ugh. I used to get that...then my migraines changed thankfully

6:52 pm

Angela

of course, if I sit in a chair with a leg even a little bit off - nausea.

6:53 pm

car.eeyore

Wow. Now that I don't experience. Ugh.

The right side of my jaw / sinus / ear is very narrow.

7:07 pm

I guess I had a lot of ear infections as a child (don't remember) and have a lot of scar tissue.

7:08 pm

MollyL

What can you do for that?

7:09 pm

car.eeyore

Not a heck of a lot. I don't eat a lot of salt. Have to watch my caffeine during the day. And I am supposed to keep my ears from getting too cold!!!!

7:10 pm

Nef

do nonsteroidals work for you (motrin,etc)?

7:10 pm

car.eeyore

I just try to be mindful of what I am doing and not spin or go upside a lot!! LOL!

uusue2

hi, all!

8:06 pm

uusue2

just had some tough news -

8:07 pm

uusue2

my stepmother (the one who left my dad) was taken to the hospital two days ago by her son b/c she couldn't stop throwing up - she had emergency surgery and they removed her colon. Don't know why yet - cancer, blockage, or what - news is coming slowly.

8:07 pm

jillibus

uh-oh -- what, uu?

8:07 pm

jillibus

(Hi all)

8:08 pm

uusue2

I called my dad; he was sad but is taking it ok.

8:08 pm

Nef

oh,no uusue. I wonder; do you suppose she knew she was ill before your Dad fell?

8:08 pm

swmbo

t

8:08 pm

Nef

hi jilli!

8:08 pm

uusue2

we were wondering that too, nef.

8:09 pm

jillibus

oh dear -- that sounds awful -- but I know someone who had something like that done many years ago and is still around, on a strict diet.

8:09 pm

uusue2

he said all her signs look good so far, but she's 85 and a smoker, so...

8:10 pm

Nef

so, have you been at all close to her son through the years?

8:10 pm

uusue2

No; we were all adults when they married, and I don't really know him well.

8:11 pm

lbdawger

i'm sorry to read that news, UU. hi Jilli and UU.

8:11 pm

lbdawger

hi swmbo!

8:12 pm

Daine, Firefox sometimes works better as a browser that Explorer for me on the laptop

jillibus

Well, I heartily recommend that you write Lickety and ask for BabbleExpert, which puts everything on one page and has a box where if you type one word it goes to the lists, and if you type more than one it goes to the chat. There are other advantages too.

8:30 pm

lbdawger

some folks in the UK were complaining about getting the 404 error message yesterday.

8:30 pm

dianedecoder

thanks jilli, I will do that :-))

8:30 pm

jillibus

You'll be glad, diane!

Our little 11 year old schiz-poo (or however it's spelled) is *the* guard dog for our grandson. When Ronald was a newborn, if we laid him down on a blanket on the floor, J.C. wouldn't let any one near him! Now that Ronald will be 2 in May, the dog is still right there with him the whole time that Ronnie is here. He just loves kids.

8:54 pm

stidmama

that is lovely, Nef.

9:00 pm

stidmama

9:01 pm

lbdawger

9:01 pm

stidmama

9:01 pm

nvm, it is for romeo

9:02 pm

stidmama

LOL LBD!

9:02 pm

lbdawger

ooooh lala, no eavesdropping?

9:02 pm

Nef

I had an uncle once who thought Vanna had the hardest job on TV: spinning the letters and walking backwards in heels.

9:02 pm

stidmama

nope. can't drop eaves here.

9:02 pm

Nef

Now she doesn't even have to turn the letters, does she?

9:02 pm

jesdraggon

pink, stid? shake it up a little and go with green :)

9:03 pm

lbdawger

well, definitely walking in any direction in heels!

9:03 pm

stidmama

walking backwards in heels is rough, but I think it got easier for her once she no longer had to look deliriously happy when people won washer-dryer sets.

9:03 pm

lbdawger

lol

9:03 pm

stidmama

oh jes, I do love green too. *considers* shamrock green, I think...

9:04 pm

Nef

ohh, yes, stid! Emerald/shamrock green IS your color!

9:04 pm

lbdawger

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

Nef

hi stidg !

9:07 pm

stidmama

9:07 pm

stidgmere

9:08 pm

stidgmere

Murphy is sleeping. He had so much fun back with his litter mates and mom's house.

9:08 pm

stidmama

but you can tell them if you like... *shuffles feet embarassedly*

9:08 pm

stidmama

is that even a word? "embarassedly?"

9:08 pm

stidmama

wonderful, Mother! I was hoping he would enjoy visiting, and then not mind coming back away with you again.

9:08 pm

stidgmere

I loved listening to my daughter talk so confidently and informatively about the research she had recently read!

9:09 pm

stidmama

*blush*

9:09 pm

Nef

oh, yes, stidg. THAT's what I was thinking!

9:10 pm

stidmama

The room had at least 50 people listening to the three presenters and all were given feed-back papers. What does the presenter want you to know? How have you changed your mind about the subject as a result of the talk? What was the outstanding aspect of the presentation and what could be improved.

9:13 pm

stidmama

I haven't looked at my feedback papers yet! They're in the car still... only got home a little while ago.

9:13 pm

stidgmere

They will wait for another day.

9:13 pm

stidmama

golly. I MUST be tired...

9:14 pm

Nef

you were able to go and watch stid too, stidg?

9:14 pm

lbdawger

hi stidg. glad you were there to lend support and to come back and tell us how she really did!

9:15 pm

Nef

THAT would make me nervous; having a relative listen in

9:15 pm

stidgmere

Yes, she invited her Dad and myself, a friend who she has known since high school, and a friend from a science class she took recently.

9:15 pm

stidmama

I had a regular cheering section, Nef! LOL Mother, my friends Betty and Dirk, and an old acquaintance who was there to evaluate the whole program.... (she was a teacher at the high school I attended way back when)

9:15 pm

stidgmere

I'm pretty good at reality checking when others (I won't name them) run around with gloom and doom.

9:15 pm

stidmama

and of course my classmates, who were very supportive

9:16 pm

i learned tonight that my cat likes banana ice cream. That surprised me, as she really doesn't like most people food beyond plain yogurt and sour cream

9:58 pm

dcseain

http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html
is the correct URL

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:58 pm

i had Ben and Jerry's Banana Split tonight

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

maybe it's the cream, not the banana, you cat likes

9:59 pm

dcseain

9:59 pm

dianedecoder

9:59 pm

Nef

interesting seain. I once had a cat that liked salad greens and beer

9:59 pm

dcseain

the clues link here expired some while ago, and i think the time period for Google forwarding to the new site has passed.

10:00 pm

dcseain

weird, ty for the news, diane

10:33 pm

jmcnrick

some odd words for sure

10:34 pm

Nef

yep.

10:34 pm

Nef

A lot of these words I've never even heard before

10:35 pm

jmcnrick

yeah what is with ic5/14??

10:35 pm

Nef

those s 5/12's for instance

10:36 pm

Nef

I kept looking for an R for that word (with an R, it would be a medical term that I know quite well

10:36 pm

jmcnrick

an R would have been good

10:38 pm
