2:25 am

herinfernallady

Maybe a cookie problem

2:25 am

lilliann

if it had just been me then i would have said maybe but too many of us were affected

Interesting. it worked when I posted the tinyurl

As I said interesting. Let me see if it is an IE issue

I had the same problem yesterday (with both firefox & IE)- if you Google lickety and get to the list from there, it seems to work fine (including if you bookmark it afterwards).

2:32 am

Yes, Lillian, once I'd bookmarked it from Google, it came up fine today. And hi :)

how do i bookmark it nurse? i'm not technically minded?

sorry, meant city

2:39 am

Lil is it your birthday

2:39 am

lilliann

not until june herin. why?

2:40 am

herinfernallady

Got you confused with someone else

2:40 am

City 17 dweller

I think in IE it is called 'favourites' these days. While you are on Lickety's page, just click at the top where it says 'favourites', thn 'add to favourites'

2:41 am

herinfernallady

There was a 12pound baby born today

2:42 am

lilliann

thanks city

2:42 am

City 17 dweller

It should appear in the list on the left hand side. If your favourite list is not showing, go to 'view', also at the top, then 'explorer bar'' and pick 'favourites'.

2:42 am

City 17 dweller

I guess you didn't need the second chapter of that, sorry :)

2:42 am

lilliann

no, it hasn't shown up

2:43 am

City 17 dweller

ah... try the rambling second half, Lillian :)

2:44 am

lilliann

it's added to favourites but stiill won't appear on the left hand side

2:45 am

herinfernallady

I don't use IE that thing is evil

2:45 am

City 17 dweller

*grumbles* .. sorry, Lillian, IE isn't my thing, I only ever open it when I can't get a site on Firefox.

2:45 am

omg.i bet her mam was walking around like a cowboy for a while!lol

2:53 am

herinfernallady

She had 4 kids

2:54 am

herinfernallady

They are all big kids. Any kid in their family that is 10pounds or less is a light weight

2:54 am

lilliann

was that her first one?

2:54 am

lilliann

my friend was the same. she had 4 boys and all where over 10ibs

2:54 am

herinfernallady

Over 10pounds

2:55 am

rubyfoo

aaaargh, those are very big babies! I was a fat 8 1/2 lbs, plenty for my tiny mother! With babies that big I would suspect incipient diabetes in the mother.

2:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ruby

2:55 am

herinfernallady

My friend just had hers at 7pounds and she was giganormous

2:56 am

lilliann

apparently my mam could wear her size 8 clothes all the way through mine and my brother's pregnancy

2:57 am

lilliann

saying, that my brother was prem and i just missed the prem unit with my weight

2:58 am

herinfernallady

I was a 5pounder

2:58 am

rubyfoo

but tall, I'll bet

2:59 am

lilliann

i was just over 5lbs

2:59 am

herinfernallady

I think i was about 51cm or something

2:59 am

lilliann

i'm not tall ruby, only 5ft 2 and a half, and that half is important! lol

3:00 am

herinfernallady

nor Lilli

3:00 am

lilliann

and ,my mam was only 5ft 2, she's shrunk to 4ft 8 now!

3:01 am

rubyfoo

I'm shrinking, too, lilliann

3:01 am

lilliann

morgan was 61cm

3:01 am

rubyfoo

3:11 am

lilliann

3:12 am

herinfernallady

3:12 am

rubyfoo

3:12 am

lilliann

how is the job going herin.are you enjoying it?

3:13 am

herinfernallady

Well I don';t want to get into trouble.

my Ruby has an ear problem and when we went to a new vet yesterday, he actually gave her kisses and said she was the nices, pretties chow chow he'd ever seen. I felt like a proud mama

3:18 am

herinfernallady

O poor thing. We have to take the cat to the vet to his shots

3:19 am

rubyfoo

she was shaking her head and seemed deaf so I looked in her ear and found a black tumor the size of a small snail!

3:19 am

rubyfoo

she also has two different ear infections

3:20 am

rubyfoo

but he said she'll be fine

3:21 am

herinfernallady

O poor thing

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I'm lucky she let me mess with her ear, but she is such a sweet dog

3:22 am

rubyfoo

lilliann

3:34 am

herinfernallady

No it was the chicken

3:35 am

lilliann

my next door neighbours invited us around for pancakes last night but as i wasn't feeling well, morgan went round and helped cook.he made savoury mince with rich tomato sauce with cheese on top, well, the cats were trying to jump all over me for some as they sent some round for me. which was very nice of them

3:35 am

herinfernallady

That was nice of them

3:37 am

lilliann

I've put herins link to lickety in my profile for those of us still having issues accessing it.

3:52 am

FMitch

Evening herin :)

3:52 am

Haz1558

Hello, herin and everyone.

3:54 am

FMitch

Sunny morning here, 2 days in a row!

3:55 am

Haz1558

Spring is on its way. Our garden birds are eating us out of house and home.

3:55 am

Haz1558

I thought it was bad during the snow but they seem to be on another feeding frenzy.

3:55 am

FMitch

LOL I know the feeling.

3:55 am

herinfernallady

WOW I just became a multi millionaire. All I need to do is send money to someone overseas and send them my bank details.

3:56 am

FMitch

Ha ha herin, ain't those emails great!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Husband is rather miffed that they're STILL ignoring his nesting box, yet insist on treating us like a drive-through takeaway.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

Yep. Complete with typos

3:58 am

FMitch

Mum put a nesting bux up 2 years ago and is still waiting for occupants.

3:59 am

periwinkle

going back to bed,

4:00 am

Haz1558

We're not the only ones, in that case. I suppose it didn't come with a cast iron guarantee or anything but you'd think birds would look at it kindly.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Hope you get some rest, peri.

4:00 am

FMitch

Bye peri.

4:00 am

lilliann

bye peri

4:01 am

FMitch

It does depend very much on the size of the box and the position too.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Choosy wee things.

4:02 am

herinfernallady

What sort of birds?

4:03 am

FMitch

... and don't start me on how picky they can be if the seeds feeder is left out overnight and they get a bit damp - I get glared at and they refuse to eat the damn things.

4:04 am

Haz1558

We should go on strike, FM.

4:04 am

FMitch

lol

4:04 am

FMitch

Bird boxes are usuall good for the tit family

4:05 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's what he was hoping since we have plenty of blue tits around but no movement so far.

4:06 am

Haz1558

Oh, two more parcels have arrived, must delve in.

4:06 am

FMitch

AS to the birds that visit the garden: Blue tits, back birds, throshes, sparrows (house and tree), ring doves, robins and occasionally a sparrow hawk.

4:07 am

FMitch

*thorshes? I meant thrushes of course!

4:07 am

Haz1558

And we've got greenfinches and chaffinches as well.

4:08 am

FMitch

oh how lovely

4:10 am

Haz1558

Polystyrene chips flying....

4:10 am

FMitch

More ebay bargains HAz?

4:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, two more sets of the vintage milk jugs and sugar bowls. They're gathering up nicely.

4:11 am

FMitch

Excellent!

4:12 am

Haz1558

I'm using them for flower centrepieces for daughter's wedding in August. Some are more expensive than others but they're still brilliant value and should look good.

4:13 am

FMitch

I love the idea and am sure it will look lovely.

4:13 am

FMitch

When are you going to forray forth to find the Mother of the Bride outift?

4:14 am

Haz1558

I maintained steadfastly that I wasn't going to go down a themed route, and yet here I am hunting china and lace doilies....

4:14 am

Haz1558

It's pencilled in for Saturday 19th March. I don't know whether to dread it or look forward to it.

4:15 am

FMitch

Oh look forward to it Haz and enjoy the shopping experience (did I really say that)?

4:16 am

Haz1558

I'll try. I just don't want anything that makes me look like a wannabe senior bridesmaid and that seems to be the look on offer.

4:17 am

FMitch

Im sure you will find something eminently suitable and you have plenty of time to shop around. Will you be hatted?

4:19 am

herinfernallady

It could be worse you could have the hideous frou dress option.

4:19 am

Haz1558

I'll probably aim for a hat though not too big and failing that a fascinator.

4:19 am

FMitch

lol good point herin :)

4:20 am

FMitch

Ah a facinator would work well with your stature and be good for the photo call etc.

4:20 am

herinfernallady

I just can't get the coffee stain out of my new top

4:22 am

Haz1558

I just don't want to look silly.

4:22 am

FMitch

you won't do dear, honestly!

4:23 am

Haz1558

At least I have plenty of forthright female opinion in the family. They'll not be afraid to tell the truth.

4:24 am

herinfernallady

Any help on set coffee stains?

4:24 am

Haz1558

If it's set, it's a problem.

4:24 am

FMitch

'frid not herin, sorry :(

4:24 am

Haz1558

What's the material?

4:25 am

herinfernallady

:( DOn't say that Haz. It is rayon stretch fake stuff

4:25 am

herinfernallady

I just lobbed it into the washing machine on warm not thinking it wouldn't come out

4:26 am

Haz1558

You might have been better to soak it first but once it's been through a wash it's not very easy to get things shifted.

4:27 am

herinfernallady

It is my favourite top too and it is new

4:27 am

FMitch

Time for me to get on with the day for a while. Lots to do. Thanks for the chat - stilll have jet to enter a word in the grid!
Happy Babbling.

4:28 am

herinfernallady

Have fun FM

4:28 am

Haz1558

Bye, FM.

4:29 am

herinfernallady

Would Vinegar bleach the fabric?

4:29 am

Haz1558

It looks like dilute white vinegar might help, herin.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Dilute white vinegar in water, use a white cloth to dab on. I don't know if it'll work once the stain is set, unfortunately.

4:31 am

herinfernallady

I have tried everything. I am a lot peeved about the fact the thing didn't clear

4:31 am

Haz1558

I know, it's maddening.

4:31 am

herinfernallady

Well the laundry powder was meant to clear it

4:32 am

herinfernallady

The other thought I had was using the actual dish washing stuff

4:33 am

Haz1558

Could you try something like Fairy Liquid? It's gentle enough to cope with fabrics but good at removing stains.

4:34 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't use the stuff for dishwasher machines, it might be too abrasive.

4:34 am

herinfernallady

I was thinking that. Not the dishwashing stuff that lives in the dish washer

4:36 am

Haz1558

No, the liquid stuff might work but no guarantees. Is the stain very noticeable?

4:36 am

Flask1

Morning ladies.....while its quiet in here, can one of you please help me fix my clues problems?

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Not really. Lucky flab hides

4:39 am

Flask1

Hi Lilliann

4:39 am

herinfernallady

That is the clues for babble

4:40 am

lilliann

i googled lickety and then bookmarked it and apparently it should have gone onto the left handside of the grid, but it didn't so i have it on my bottom tool bar and keep clicking on it

4:40 am

Haz1558

I've e-mailed it to you. CLick on the link and it brings up the list in another window.

4:40 am

herinfernallady

I have no idea why you guys have a busted ass thing

4:41 am

lilliann

sprite had the same thing yesterday herin as well as lot of others.it's a pain!

4:42 am

herinfernallady

I don't know why that is weird. Do you know if IE has updated lately?

4:42 am

lilliann

don't know herin

4:43 am

herinfernallady

No idea

4:44 am

herinfernallady

I use google chrome but IE for explorier

4:44 am

Haz1558

Taking a quick break.

4:45 am

herinfernallady

4:54 am

lilliann

ty pat, didn't have that one yet :)

4:55 am

Patxxx

So very sorry all of you. I was messing with refresh and everything else I could think of in the hope that I would bump into lickety. It's how I learn my best computing tricks. I could do with a quiet spell in the PB if one of you would be kind enough to sentence me please.

4:56 am

lilliann

pb now pat!! lol

4:57 am

Patxxx

Cheers lill..

4:57 am

Well that stain came out THANK YOU

4:59 am

Haz1558

Excellent!

5:01 am

Haz1558

What did you use?

5:02 am

herinfernallady

Dishwashing liquid the known machine variety

5:03 am

Haz1558

That's good to know for future reference.

5:03 am

herinfernallady

opps the non even

5:03 am

herinfernallady

I used the cheap Aldi type

5:03 am

Flask1

Haz when I click on the link you sent, what do I do then??

5:04 am

Haz1558

If it brings up Lickety's clues, either minimise it or shrink it to go to one side of your screen and then toggle back and forward as you need it.

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Have to baby sit a shirt then I can see if it actually works

Follow the instructions on Lickety's page for bulk-add/grab and then it's a case of filling in the blanks as you get more words.

5:05 am

Flask1

oh right!....So I have to do it everyday?...Am I right?

5:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think so. Hopefully Lickety will work out what's happening and do something so that expert will work completely again for those of us who are having problems.

5:07 am

Haz1558

In the meantime, it's just slightly more trouble but much better than no list at all!

5:12 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'd better be off and get something done. Enjoy the grid!

5:12 am

Flask1

Oh yes I do appreciate that, I was just checking that I was doing the right thing (for a change)..lol

5:12 am

Flask1

thanks for help!

No problem, Flask, have a good day.

5:48 am

Hello Scrabs, nice to see you

Scrabbler

Trying to gain consciousness here.

5:52 am

Patxxx

And ty lill. I am scared of hexing Babble if I shout out loud. How pathetic is that but I do this game every day and love it and you lot. It's educational, annoying, makes you forget important worries. I don't have to chase little madmen round a game, which would do my head in. It requires come brainpower, which is prob why I don't finish always.

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Sapien is my phantom

I took Benadryl (antihistamine) before bed, to knock me out all night, and I am still somewhat sedated.

5:55 am

You've been playing for 6 years Pat - I think you can stop whispering now. It is not going anywhere (fingers crossed)

lilliann

6:02 am

sprite

dear God that is an awful lot of money

6:03 am

Trifioso

scrabs, my mom used to hate being on call too - lots of turkeys calling that weren't even her patients, always with some story of how they "dropped" their rx for narcotic pain killers down the drain, and could they have 90 more (no) or my fave -- the woman who called on a sunday, with an ailment of some sort, and then threw in "and while I have you on the phone, could I schedule my mammogram?"

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Lil: extraction, implant, crown, "abutment" procedure to adjacent tooth, lots of appointments...

6:03 am

sprite

lollllll that is truly shameless

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Trif, so may people are thoughtless and disrespectful.

6:04 am

herinfernallady

POunce on Trifs

6:04 am

6:05 am

hi Pat :)

6:05 am

It's possible that my med insurance will cover the extraction as the bone around the tooth is infected.

6:06 am

carleekat

oh..likely then yes scrabs...

6:06 am

lilliann

i hope it does scrabs

6:06 am

herinfernallady

Silly Scrabs you need ot take care of yourself

6:07 am

Patxxx

I am so useless at switching between grid and chat that I usually stick to just the game cos I'm so embarrassed.

6:07 am

It has been a problem tooth for many yrs.

6:07 am

Patxxx

Sprite, HI!

6:07 am

lilliann

Pat, free clues are kind and generous.

6:07 am

Trifioso

I don't think you have to go to the PB if it is not a word, pat

6:08 am

sprite

it is no problem, Pat, it is the layout of the site that is to blame. And you are missing out on all the goodies in the PB this way! Please join chat :)

6:08 am

lilliann

pat just wants to go so she can rest and enjoy goodies there!

6:08 am

Patxxx

It'a quite a good name for those of us who keep messing up!

6:11 am

the only reason I don't mess up all the time is the Babble Expert. Which is now a bit of a problem because every word I enter gives a green flash, lol... and believe me, 90% isn't valid!

That's basically the story. He was in a blues club one night, listening to blues guitar players and just wrote this parody of blues singing. Hence the hokey line "churning urn of burning funk".

I was equally bothered by the fact that Tom went back to his wife. That didn't seem the appropriate end to that story.

I was so upset that I really don't remember much of the rest of the movie.

Good Morning Everybody. car.ee, you sound a lot like me. I won't even watch movies anymore because I have nightmares about them; even if they aren't *that* bad. The build up, suspense, and music just bother me

7:41 am

Nice to see English teachers using Stephen King novels/movies.

I find no entertainment value AT ALL putting brutal rape scenes in movies. It is horrible enough that it happens in real life, I do not see why it has to be acted out.

Would like to see both of those movies!

7:47 am

As far as Phillip K Dick films are concerned, it's pretty good

7:47 am

But not as good as Blade Runner or Total Recall

7:47 am

car.eeyore

Totally off topic.....we have deer that walk through our woods/backyard. Can I put out food for them or is that dangerous for them?

7:48 am

car.eeyore

I liked the idea of Blade Runner, but found the movie very slow. And then Daryl Hannah was in it, so that didn't help. Did like Total Recall though.

7:48 am

movieman

What about Minority Report?

7:48 am

how much of a pest will they be this summer eating your gardenns and shrubs, car.ee?

7:49 am

dont remember that one

7:49 am

yikes, car - are you sure you want the whole deer tribe coming over for snacks?

7:49 am

Nef, this would be down back toward the forest line, well away from where we generally are.

7:49 am

Riverdance

if I saw it, it did NOT leave a lasting impression

7:50 am

JBV

We have a small herd that visits the yard next door, very lovely to look at, but so far they haven't figured out how to come across the fence into my yard, which is just how I like it

7:50 am

Next film on my agenda will be Battle:Los Angeles

7:50 am

car.eeyore

Why are deer bad?

7:51 am

JBV

they will destroy whatever vegetation they decide is tasty - including the bark of trees

7:51 am

lbdawger

car, it's illegal to feed wildlife, it's considered baiting. besides the deer need to fend for themselves.

7:51 am

Riverdance

they will eat your garden plants and flowers

7:51 am

bichon

And, they have deer ticks, which spread Lyme disease

7:51 am

car.eeyore

I was afraid if I set up some kind of feeding spot they would be sitting ducks for the coyotes.

7:51 am

car.eeyore

Actually, deer mice carry deer ticks.

7:51 am

they eat the tops off my hostas every year

7:51 am

We have a chain link fence around our yard; we live about 2-3 blocks from a nature preserve (also known in the *olden* days as a slough) and we have deer, raccoon, and all sorts of other critters who come through our yard to get to a neighbors' yard about a block further away because that neighbor puts food out

7:52 am

car.eeyore

we don't have gardens in the back acreage...just an old barn and brush and trees.

7:53 am

lbdawger

wildlife become dependant on humans to feed them, and that causes all sorts of problems for the humans as well as the wildlife.

7:53 am

car.eeyore

OK....I get it. Do not feed the deer...bad idea.

7:53 am

car.eeyore

I just really like them and wanted to be nice to them.

7:53 am

car.eeyore

thought I would be helping.

7:53 am

lbdawger

you have a kind heart, but it is a bad idea. i have wildlife in my backyard and frontyard and...not a good idea to feed them.

7:54 am

car.eeyore

I was just going to leave snack items....not full meals.

7:54 am

they are rodents with long legs and they like to run into your car

7:54 am

lbdawger

amazing how adaptable they are, they will forage for what they need, including gardens!

7:54 am

car.eeyore

Kind heart, but also selfish! Would like them to come more often so I can look at them and watch them interact.

7:55 am

I have to admire these suburban deer- they stroll right down the middle of a paved street - how do they survive!

7:55 am

One neighbor was being harrassed by a deer that had a deformity. Every time she took her dog out to walk it, that deer would follow her and eventually it tried to get betwwen her and her home. I thought she was crazy when she told me; but it happened to another neighbor too. They had to call the city for help

lbdawger

if they feel safe in your backyard, they will make it a regular travel or resting spot

7:55 am

Riverdance

that is strange Nef

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Oh dear (no pun intended)

7:56 am

JBV

when an animal acts strange like that, it could be the sign of disease

7:56 am

lbdawger

not unusual Nef. The deer was probably thinking it was protecting its habitat.

7:56 am

Nef

yeah. It was really weird.

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Going to make an egg white omelet....any takers?

7:56 am

bichon

And if your dog chases a deer you can get fined for "worring the deer"

7:58 am

lbdawger

yup, here if we see a dog or a pack harrassing deer, they can be shot (the dogs not the deer). it falls under the domestic animal control law

7:58 am

Nef

This friends' dog is a King Charles spaniel (or whatever that breed is. It's never been off a leash outside; and she never has it outside in the yard alone (due to the fact that the wildlife has no problems with fences here

7:59 am

bichon

Leaving a Cavalier in the yard unprotected is bad. It is coyote bait

7:59 am

lbdawger

has to be a pretty high fence to keep deer out.

7:59 am

MollyL

Sweet idea Car, but deer are very good at finding their own food. I'll pass on the egg white omelet. I quit egg yolks about a month ago and I'm darned sick of egg whites.

7:59 am

I must get to work now...have a great day everyone

I'm sure "our" deer could easily jump over our chain link fence but so far they haven't discovered it or needed to - the neighbor's yard is quite adequate for them right now - let it be that way

Low cholesterol is associated with death from violence and suicide. That brain that needed more cholesterol goes cuckoo.

9:41 am

congrats matches

can a good level of colesterol vary depending on weoght? is a good number the same for a 120 pound woman vs a 220 pound male?

they make no distinction. The very weak correlation between higher cholesterol and heart disease in men has never once been shown in women

9:42 am

interesting

9:43 am

cause i tell you my friend,they will have to pry the eggs away from me out of my cold dead hands;)

Big pharma wants to sell statins. this is the most profitable drug there ever was. More than Prozac

9:43 am

Eggs are fab fab food. Eat a dozen a day

hello all - rasta I believe even the "health food" manufacturers make up stats to sell more product

9:44 am

or maybe you want to be careful and check the facts, lol... take care of yourself, you hear, crossy?

9:44 am

hi ursh

9:54 am

Dorens

rastapopolous... have you seen the book Prescribing by Numbers? you'd love it!

9:57 am

rastapopolous

Don't know it, Dorens; I'll check it out

9:58 am

rururocks

hi doren.. I did have to make pasta last night after the prompting from you

9:58 am

rastapopolous

The ldl and hdl are differences in protein carriers, the cholesterol inside is all the same

9:58 am

Dorens

It says much of what you're saying very well (and my son wrote it..the father of my icon)

9:58 am

Dorens

hah! and the funny thing is ru, that I didn't even make it, was just fantasizing... ate lentils and tomatoes and salad myself. dieting this week

9:59 am

rastapopolous

Even more reason to check it out, D! Thanks!

9:59 am

Dorens

i just googled it and read a VERY nice review on amazon

9:59 am

oh cool dorens

10:00 am

10:00 am

rururocks

hi lil

10:00 am

rururocks

yeah.. It just sounded so good and now that I am down to a svelt 224 I felt I could pull it off

10:01 am

Dorens

whoa!~ your diet actually inspired me... (but then I had to go and celebrate with the 82 haut brion Monday nite)

10:03 am

Dorens

not only did they put my job in the budget for next year, but also a second counselor, so I could go back to the sanity of just one school! However, the budget may well not pass the voters' test!

10:04 am

rururocks

good luck with that

10:04 am

rastapopolous

Dorens, I've put it in my wish list so that next time I put an order in to Amazon I'll remember to get it. Thanks

10:04 am

Dorens

rasta, I hope to fear someday what you thought of it. Are you new to babble?

10:05 am

Dorens

how did you make the pasta ru? (so i can vicariously enjoy it)

10:05 am

rastapopolous

I learned about it over on Wordsplay a few months ago I guess. I should pay up for the pro I suppose, since I'm enjoying it.

10:06 am

rururocks

mostachini with fresh peas, crumbled bacon, carmelized onions, fresh oregano, and aged asiago with olive oil and a touch of white Balsamic vinegar and one teaspoon of bacon drippings

10:09 am

Dorens

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... drooling!
and yes rasta, you must pay up -- the best $15 investment I've ever made, I'm an eternal proselytizer!

10:11 am

Dorens

(and you just had to put in the bacon drippings in honor of crossy?)

10:11 am

Nef

Dorens, here is a review of your sons' book on the New England Journal of Medicine site: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/N
EJMbkrev58366 Very impressive (and I'll be reading it soon too)

10:15 am

Dorens

I wouldn't say I was a fan. But I do appreciate him as a tennis player and sportsman. Uneaixoise is the real deal.

11:57 am

I asked DrGod about it when it first started and he said it was Licketys problem - not his baby.

11:58 am

MollyL

Haz, did you have a different icon this morning? Or was that another Haz?

11:59 am

Haz1558

Oh, I was fiddling around with icons this morning. It was me. Is it not back to Spangle?

11:59 am

JBV

I see Spangle

11:59 am

MollyL

It is back to Spangle. I didn't recognize you as "teacups". : )

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Milk jugs and sugar bowls - I was trying to illustrate some of the vintage ones I'm buying up for centrepieces for daughter's wedding.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

But the photo was so small it didn't do them justice.

12:01 pm

Haz1558

So, back to Spangle and familiarity.

12:02 pm

MollyL

Oh what a nice idea for your daughter's wedding. Very original.

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Thank you. I hope it works out but meantime I'm having fun on e-bay.

12:03 pm

MollyL

Here is my best guess about why Lickety isn't working for some. Somehow, the link to the list has been compromised, and only for certain people. So posting the link you see when you successfully connect, is not going to help those people out. It's some kind of internal code problem that needs to be fixed by Lickety (I guess, since Dr. God says it's not his thing to fix).

12:04 pm

wildcat17

I followed the new link at someone's suggestion and it worked for me when the old one didn't

12:04 pm

Haz1558

My best guess is that the sellotape has slipped and a wire has come out from somewhere.

12:04 pm

ivesy3

2nd tr 6/21 plz

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Second tr6/21 is the same as the first save for the last vowel in the word

12:05 pm

hootowl

but Europe had the problem for only 1 day and I am now on day 2

12:05 pm

Haz1558

No, we still have the problem, hoot. You've not been singled out!

12:06 pm

Haz1558

I can't access the list through expert any more, only using the other link.

12:07 pm

ivesy3

tyvm!

12:07 pm

hootowl

oh-ok didn't know that

12:07 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, ivesy.

12:08 pm

Haz1558

I've got precisely no idea what's going on, hootowl, but I feel your pa4/5.

12:08 pm

HelenaB

can you clue the first TR6?

12:08 pm

hootowl

was that the sec 6/21 ir the 4th?

12:08 pm

HelenaB

i mean the first tr 6/67

12:08 pm

HelenaB

6/27

12:09 pm

hootowl

well as long as I can get the list in the Most Visited list I'm ok

12:09 pm

Haz1558

The first tr6/21 is a plural for tr5 - a word sometimes used for offal, or rubbish.

12:10 pm

hootowl

and the sec not related?

12:10 pm

HelenaB

oh jeez, i had them already - i'm losing it! thanks anyway

12:12 pm

HelenaB

it looks like there are 4 and i have the 2nd and the 4th

12:12 pm

Haz1558

No problem, Helena.

12:12 pm

monkeyed it

12:13 pm

hootowl

pleeeeeeeeese ae8

12:14 pm

hootowl

haven't understood any given this morning

12:14 pm

Haz1558

ae8 - ae plus to preserve the status ***, then first three letters of what you do to wash shampoo from your hair.

12:14 pm

HelenaB

i'm sorry, can you clue the LAST tr6/21?

12:14 pm

Haz1558

The last tr6/21 - ends in the opposite of out

12:14 pm

Oh man - I looked up the ae8 - it's what makes jellyfish light up blue - is that cool or what

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

only a week

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

when we took her to the vet yesterday (the dog, not his daughter LOL), the vet kissed her and said she was the best-natured chow he'd ever met!

12:40 pm

lilliann

12:40 pm

hootowl

12:46 pm

Boobear

12:46 pm

lilliann

i've just found 3 st words and i can't believe i missed them!!

12:46 pm

wvteach

good afternoon all

12:46 pm

car.eeyore

May i have a clue for the ae 8?

12:46 pm

lilliann

make it 4

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

hi wvteach

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

hello car.

12:46 pm

lilliann

hi teach

12:47 pm

car.eeyore

hi everyone!

12:47 pm

lilliann

ae and the band status *** and opp of out

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

haz's clue was ae + status *** + beginning of getting shampoo out

12:47 pm

lilliann

sorry, missed a cons after the group

12:47 pm

car.eeyore

Good grief! TY!

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

and somebody said it means what makes jellyfish iridescent!

12:48 pm

periwinkle

ty ruby and Haz, never would have found that one

12:48 pm

aslindy

is the ae5 related to it?

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

on the tip of your tongue, right?

12:48 pm

lilliann

apparently it makes jelly fish blue

12:49 pm

lilliann

no aslindy

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

the ae5 is an insect

12:49 pm

MollyL

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't ever want to be close enough to a jellyfish to see what that looks like. I've been stung by one once and it hurts a LOT.

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

amen, molly!

12:50 pm

lilliann

ooh, not nice molly.is it jelly fish stings that they say to pee on?

12:50 pm

aslindy

an insect? sorry, not getting it

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

probably because ammonia works, too

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

order of insects maybe

12:51 pm

aslindy

oh, now I have it

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

or vinegar

12:51 pm

lilliann

my hubby watches the discovery channel alot and likes the animal planet.the other week we were watching creatures of the deep and there were some beautiful coloured jelly fish.it was like disco lights!

12:52 pm

aslindy

ok, taking a break for now... see ya later!

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

they can be beautiful but very creepy to me. I was once offered them in a Chinese restaurant eeeew

12:52 pm

car.eeyore

BBL! Ty for the clues!

12:52 pm

lilliann

bfn aslindy

12:55 pm

uusue2

hi again, all! back for another few minutes while I eat lunch...

12:55 pm

lilliann

wouldn't be my cup of tea ruby

12:55 pm

lilliann

hi sue

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

hi sue

12:56 pm

uusue2

no more news about my stepmother, and the hospital won't talk to me :-(

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

why won't they talk to you?

12:57 pm

lilliann

why not sue, as you are related by marriage

12:57 pm

uusue2

the only person they have as a contact is her son.

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

say you're a consulting physician and would like a progress report

12:57 pm

uusue2

lol, ruby!

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

just sound officious!

12:58 pm

lilliann

why doesn't he keep you informed th4?

12:58 pm

uusue2

the nurse did say she'd just arrived on that floor - i'm guessing that she was transferred from intensive care - and that she was ok. So that's good.

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

say you're the family doctor and just want to make sure she's eating or getting up or something

12:59 pm

lilliann

yes, that's a positive sign

12:59 pm

uusue2

well, he did send me a bunch of texts last night, which was how I found out she was sick in the first place; I'm guessing he's been at the hospital nonstop for a few days and is probably home getting some sleep

1:00 pm

lilliann

aye, probably. it must be hard on him aswell

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

happy 100 and good night everybody!

1:00 pm

uusue2

my dad did let her actual family doctor know, so maybe he will call (the hospital said they couldn't talk to my dad either)

1:00 pm

uusue2

night, ruby!

1:01 pm

lilliann

nite ruby.sleep well and tc. hugs

1:01 pm

crosshair

and i must be off to work.tc everyone and happy babbling...poof!

1:01 pm

lilliann

because they're separated?

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

as I couldn't get info when husband was in hospital (my French wasn't good enough to be forceful), I had his MD call to make them get him out of bed

1:01 pm

lilliann

bye crossy.tc

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

{{sue}} and big hug lilliann

1:03 pm

uusue2

no, I think it's just the new medical privacy regulations (HIPAA) - they won't give information to anybody you haven't authorized

1:04 pm

lilliann

and what if you're not in a fit state to say who'se authorized?

1:05 pm

MollyL

Sue, why did I think your Dad's wife was in another state?

1:11 pm

uusue2

She is. He's in NJ; she has left him and gone to MI. And lilli, I don't know what they do if you can't tell them who you want to be informed.

1:12 pm

MollyL

Okay, I guess you were talking about her son who was tired and had been at the hospital. At first read, I thought you were talking about your Dad.

1:13 pm

uusue2

oh, sorry! I was indeed.

1:21 pm

wvteach

does anyone have the alternate link to get to Lickety

1:22 pm

uusue2

http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

1:25 pm

MollyL

Teach can you let me know if that link works for you? I don't know why it would when it's the same link connected to the link from this page, that isn't working.

1:26 pm

lilliann

it didn't work for me yesterday so i just googled lickety and have his list that way

1:26 pm

MollyL

That was a smart move Lilliann.

1:26 pm

jmcnrick

most states have a law that sets a priority on who the doctors should talk to if you aer not competant

1:27 pm

jmcnrick

unfortunately most hospitals haven't figured out how the new hppa and the old next of kin rules interact so they default to not talking

1:27 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

1:27 pm

lilliann

someone suggested i do that this morning but i can't remember who it was now

1:27 pm

wvteach

the alternate link has always worked for me - http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

Kazzer99

hi all - se 6/21 - octopus ink plural

1:29 pm

MollyL

Okay, then there must be something wrong in the code that connects from this page to the Lickety page. But it would seem that would affect all, not some.

1:30 pm

lilliann

no idea teach, but it is a bit of a pain!

9:13 pm

Jacula

Hi. I'm wondering, since Lickety's List link has gone kaput for a couple of days now, if one of the following scenarios is happening, a) Lickety and Gr_God have fallen out, b) Dr_God's away and so doesn't know things are going wrong. c) Maybe the new form of Babble is soon to arrive and so some links may be broken and things get slow for a while.

9:13 pm

Pinikula

I'm gettin' there, Nef...

9:13 pm

Pinikula

...did receive a red-message; now it's 'slow'

9:14 pm

Nef

hi Jac.

9:14 pm

The read message is better than the blue screen of death! LOL

9:14 pm

Nef

hi Jac.

9:14 pm

uusue2

ok, I am off for the night - see you all tomorrow!

9:14 pm

Pinikula

not sure, jac, but Lickety is posting lists; just the link below the grid seems to not be working. If you need one, try this: http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

9:14 pm

Jacula

Bit of a delay on the chog still.

9:15 pm

Jacula

Pini - It's okay, I know that link, but thanks for posting it anyway.

9:15 pm

Jacula

Bye uusue2.

9:16 pm

Pinikula

no problem. I do hope the new release comes out soon; I'm looking forward to the new bells and whistles.

9:16 pm

Nef

good night uusue. I was going to ask how things are going; but now you are gone

9:16 pm

Pinikula

night uu

9:16 pm

Jacula

I only came back to chat and/or give clues. But the chog seems to be limping.

9:17 pm

Pinikula

Looked back to see Manatee had a large 'hiccup', but I think it's clearning now....

9:18 pm

Jacula

Anyone need any clues, btw?

9:18 pm

Pinikula

I have too many to ask for right now, jac (91)...might need some help later tho...

9:19 pm

Jacula

I won't be around later, Pini, so ask now, if you want to receive.

9:19 pm

Pinikula

oh, gosh, jac, I wouldn't even know where to start! * sigh *

9:21 pm

Nef

And I'm pretty much sure I won't be finishing this grid tonight, due to hiccups

9:21 pm

Nef

And I'm pretty much sure I won't be finishing this grid tonight, due to hiccups

9:21 pm

It's not a super huge grid, so the glitches are mysterious.
