May I please have a clue for st6-24? Thanks....I'm "begging" again

1:51 am

gapeach

Hi there, westford.

1:51 am

westford

1:52 am

westford

Now I will have to wait until the next flip.....guess I should have saved some of them for later...HaHa! Sweet dreams everyone.

2:05 am

jwr

I know. Everyone here is so careful not to hurt other people's feelings and so very helpful. But (you knew there was a "but" coming, didn't you?) I have to take exception to defining a Clue as a numbered letter of the alphabet. That's not a clue -- it's just another way of spelling out the word. I'm bad at giving clues myself, and seeing a really clever one is one of the perks of the game but when the word is literally given out in the chat I stop looking at it. So, poof.

2:05 am

westford

goodnight peach sweet dreams to you too

2:06 am

westford

don't go jwr you're not the only one who feels that way sometimes it's just a quick way to do it

2:07 am

westford

there are some really clever clue givers and that is definitely a perk

2:09 am

jwr

I guess we just have different ways of enjoying babbling. Speed is not a goal of the game for me.

2:10 am

westford

not for me either I really like the fact that there are 24 hours per game

2:12 am

westford

I tend to hide the chat at the beginning it's too crazy with people calling out letters and numbers

2:13 am

jwr

Amd on the other side -- some of the best clue-givers go overboard with the subtleties sometimes. ... I agree with the 24-hour and being someone who works overnights several times a week, I love seeing the flags from around the world representing real-time people playing along with me.

2:13 am

westford

but that said it's a great bunch of people and I learn so many new and interesting things from the chat log

2:13 am

westford

isn't that the best thing? the flags?

2:14 am

jwr

I think we're on the same page, so to speak. Thanks for proving me right about the reasonable and just plain NICE people here. Gotta run. Out in the rain. To work. Bye west et al.

2:15 am

westford

try to stay dry nice meeting you jwr

2:16 am

jwr

ta bye final poof!!

scouser

Hello Glantarell.

3:08 am

scouser

And hello westford - good diplomacy there re: jwr. Some of us do try to speed up cos not enough hours in the day for all need to do. Some of us are just competitive! People on the chog are great.

3:09 am

scouser

Furthermore, every day I learn at least one new word or get amusement from the non-words too

3:16 am

scouser

I go now. Bye all.

Trifioso

good morning friends. carlee -- if you never listen to another thing I listen to, listen to this -- run, do not walk to home depot and get one of those paint sprayer things. seriously. if you have a lot of rooms to do, it makes all the difference

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Trif :-)

5:56 am

5:56 am

Trifioso

hello zooz! I am enjoyed the all blue themed chog you had going on there....carlee, I paid about $80 for mine, and it made all the difference

5:57 am

Trifioso

we had to paint a very high, cathedral ceiling and it would have been impossible without it

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes..LOL..did not notice that :-)

5:57 am

Trifioso

I can't type today....forgive mistakes below, please

5:57 am

carleekat

6:02 am

carleekat

good afternoon all

6:02 am

carleekat

hi there sprite :)

6:02 am

hi carlee, have you moved?

6:03 am

carleekat

6:03 am

carleekat

i have to go back in the old place and clean..and pitch out stuff

6:04 am

carleekat

( i left all our toothbrushes there )

6:04 am

carleekat

they setting on bathroom counter <facepalm>

6:04 am

sprite

but at le5 you are where you want to be :) Congratulations, and may you be very happy in this new home.

6:05 am

carleekat

thanks sprite..i think i will...it feels good... will get all the stuff ( or most ) unpacked...then i think i will go through and smudge the place... ( never done that before but it feels right to do so )

6:06 am

sprite

smudging is incredibly effective. I have smudged a lot of houses, also for other people, and I know what it can do. Enjoy it :)

6:07 am

carleekat

this place feels way more like home already then the old place ever did...

6:07 am

carleekat

it just..feels... good

6:07 am

carleekat

i am hoping my kids find it so as well

6:07 am

sprite

you have been radiating that feeling from the moment you had seen it. I think it is wonderful :)

6:09 am

carleekat

the cats are even settling in

6:09 am

carleekat

they have started eating..that a good sign :)

6:09 am

6:09 am

very good sign!

6:09 am

i was sweating all night long with cats insulating me

6:10 am

sprite

nice one, tedybeth

6:10 am

carleekat

hi beth

6:11 am

carleekat

they were "mummy...where are we??/ what did u do...am scared"

6:12 am

sprite

'where are all our familiar smells? where are our sunning spots? where the heck did you take us?'

6:14 am

carleekat

well...all their smells SHOULD be on the furniture

6:14 am

carleekat

and...the sunning spot...glorious western sunshine comes in my front window...

6:14 am

sprite

hehehe they will settle in very soon, especially since they can feel how good YOU feel there.

6:14 am

carleekat

am just waiting for the sun to come up in my room

6:15 am

carleekat

well..and cooking a turkey today will help too ( giblets!)

6:16 am

sprite

am very happy for you

6:18 am

carleekat

thanks... its nice to be happy and not all "soppy sad and stressed"

6:19 am

sprite

you were due a couple of lucky breaks and some happiness!

6:20 am

carleekat

thanks sprite..am hoping a few more than a couple ( is that greedy?) but yes..life feels in many ways like things are falling into place...just pieces that didnt fit together before are all just fallinginto place

6:22 am

sprite

no that is not at all greedy, in my opinion. Go for it! I also think that is a great place to be: there where things fall into place. If it is true that the outside world reflects the inside world, you have done really great with yourself.

6:24 am

carleekat

it feels like for the last 20 years ..all i have been doing is swimming upstream life was just upstream..and now...its just taking me for a ride...i dont feel i am doing anything differently...but being free of dXh and life is just...easier..

6:25 am

carleekat

sad reflection on life... but i just feel... good :)..lots of good energy here...

6:25 am

sprite

so6 like a big chance to me. And a very good one.

6:29 am

I hate when I get fixated on word that isn't actually in the puzzle

7:54 am

bardofawen

I'm missing two out of three r words. You'd think they'd be fairly easy to trial and error, but I just can't find anything that fits.

8:28 am

FMitch

Just finished lunch so thought I would pop in for 5 mins before getting back to the grind.
V nice/fast grid today.

8:28 am

Haz1558

We will use that r to have mediaeval outer covering of some fruits.

8:28 am

Mark Jones

Hurschy, it is like the homophone of ri4/5

8:28 am

hurshy

thank you, what a fine idea, haz!

8:29 am

Mark Jones

*hurshy

8:29 am

hurshy

8:29 am

ivesy3

8:29 am

hurshy

It's a nice grid, indeed, FM. Does the sun shine with you?

8:29 am

Mark Jones

thx, hurshy

8:30 am

FMitch

Not today and it was very foggy this morning.

8:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, we had fog early on but it's cleared nicely now.

8:30 am

FMitch

oh good :)

8:31 am

Mark Jones

Can i have the o's?

8:31 am

Haz1558

Two are to do with leaving something out.

8:32 am

Haz1558

The other looks like the tail end of what floats in the sky and sends down rain.

8:32 am

FMitch

8:32 am

8:32 am

bardofawen

ou4 Middle Eastern lute

8:33 am

Haz1558

Two of the y words were clued not long ago, the others involve affirmatives and breadmaking.

8:34 am

FMitch

LOL Haz that ad has been buzzing round my head since I found the word this morning.

8:34 am

Haz1558

bard, I'm intrigued to see that you've been a member for five years and yet you've never chatted. Have you been playing constantly (though silently) or are you an occasional player?

8:34 am

car.eeyore

Good morning!

8:34 am

Mark Jones

I must leave now; BBL

8:34 am

bardofawen

Just an occasional player

8:34 am

phantom: tryst

8:34 am

FMitch

Bye Mark and Hi bard

8:34 am

Haz1558

Bye, Mark and hello car.

8:34 am

bardofawen

See you, Mark

8:35 am

FMitch

and hello hurshy and car and anyone else that pops in!

8:35 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc.

8:36 am

Haz1558

Well, bard, glad we haven't scared you completely from the chat.

8:36 am

jmcnrick

does atalante play and I just miss her all the time these days?

8:36 am

jmcnrick

hi bard nice to meet you

8:36 am

bardofawen

I only started up again a couple days ago actually. I had always avoided the chat for fear of spoilers, but I thought I would try the puzzle with company today

8:36 am

hurshy

i've been missing ata too!!

8:36 am

jmcnrick

*pop*

8:37 am

jmcnrick

well we are not big into spoilers although hints can be given if asked

8:37 am

FMitch

HAven't seen her for ages jmc but she was away on a diving holiday and also now has a job so ...

8:37 am

Haz1558

The last we heard she was heading off on holiday to Egypt but she may well be back now and involved in her work again. We've been edged out by marine life.

8:37 am

uusue2

hi, car, jmc, fmitch, and all!

8:38 am

jmcnrick

*sigh* to think of being overlooked because of algae!

8:38 am

jmcnrick

Was she in Egypt during the excitement?

8:38 am

Haz1558

I know. It's a bit much, isn't it?

8:38 am

jmcnrick

hi uu

8:38 am

bardofawen

well, hints = spoilers in my book ;) I always try to do as much as I can without hints or grinding

8:39 am

Haz1558

I think she was there after the main excitement, but we've not had any details so we're only guessing.

8:39 am

jmcnrick

well our hints are only given when asked and the people here this time of day are not big on hints

8:39 am

Haz1558

So far we've not been asked to bail her out of an Egyptian prison, so hopefully all is well.

8:39 am

FMitch

Hi there uu

8:39 am

jmcnrick

well that is something haz

8:40 am

bardofawen

Good to know :)

8:40 am

jmcnrick

you could always close your eyes if someone asks for a hint bard

8:40 am

Haz1558

As far as hints go, some people love them, some people hate them. What I've learned here is that you can't please all the people all the time.

8:40 am

jmcnrick

but the conversation can get pretty lively

8:40 am

jmcnrick

and if anyone uses a word from the grid in the chat they go to the pb (penalty box)

8:41 am

hurshy

you gotta watch emails asking to bail people out, anyway... i got one monday purporting to be from a girl i know slightly, coming from her email address, saying she was in trouble and her passport and money had all been stolen and she needed money. of course the email address they told you to reply to was a different one from where it originated...but in certain ways it was pretty realistic sounding.

8:41 am

jmcnrick

oh never send $$ because of an email--that is the new nigerian letter hursh

8:42 am

Haz1558

That's a familiar sounding scam, hurshy. We'd have to have codewords arranged ahead of time with Ata to make sure it was her.

8:42 am

jmcnrick

if someone was in that situation i would tell them to go to the embassy

8:42 am

PastorJ

when that happens it means the person's email has been hacked. If you know them you should let them know by phone, NOT by email.

8:42 am

uusue2

gee, I've heard of that but haven't gotten one yet (unless it was among the thousands of emails I delete without reading). Some of them are superficially plausible and some are just silly

8:43 am

jmcnrick

good advice pastor

8:43 am

jmcnrick

i get lots of emails offering to donate to my ministry

8:43 am

Haz1558

If you ever get an e-mail from me using textspeak or with lots of !!!, you'll know it's fake.

8:43 am

PastorJ

personal experience! ;->

8:43 am

jmcnrick

one of turned out to be real

8:43 am

jmcnrick

lol haz

8:44 am

jmcnrick

poor pastor!

8:44 am

FMitch

LOL Haz!

8:44 am

PastorJ

no big deal - but it was amusing to see how many people called to check on me - folks I hadn't heard from for ages!

8:45 am

jmcnrick

well there you go--no ill wind that doesn't blow some good

8:45 am

Haz1558

Well, that kind of restores your faith in humanity, Pastor, doesn't it?

8:45 am

hurshy

most of them are pretty obviously fake. this one wasn't quite so obvious, except for certain "tells" like the alt email and stuff.

8:45 am

PastorJ

I offered to let them send me money anyway, but they didn't!

8:46 am

hurshy

unfortunately i don't have this girl's phone number so i have no way to let her know she's been hacked.

8:46 am

jmcnrick

i always check the sender email for that hursh

8:46 am

FMitch

Lunch break over, ti4 for me to get back to work. TTFN.

8:46 am

jmcnrick

well i usually can spot a fake donation when it talks about my ministry saving souls for christ or for widows and orphans

8:47 am

jmcnrick

bye FM nice to see you

8:47 am

Haz1558

Toodle-oo, FM. Discipline is your new middle name along with Ermintrude.

8:47 am

jmcnrick

you can email her at her real email address i would think

8:47 am

hurshy

so... what do we have here, long G words? i have 10 to go, four of which are long words, blah. and four of which are G. there must be SOME overlap... mustn't there?

8:47 am

jmcnrick

Ermintrude! Ohhhhh I want to be Ermintrude!

8:47 am

hurshy

no jmc, it CAME from her real email address. it just told you to reply to a different one.

8:48 am

Haz1558

The longest g is 6.

8:48 am

hurshy

the longest G is 6... oho, found the 8

8:48 am

jmcnrick

what can i use for the J though? I used to be jasmine esmeralda until both names got disneyfied

8:48 am

hurshy

and how many of these G6's are there?

8:48 am

jmcnrick

oh well then she will have to have someone else tell then

8:49 am

hurshy

Jillian

8:49 am

Haz1558

There are two g6

8:49 am

jmcnrick

suggestions for my J name?

8:49 am

car.eeyore

I only have 1 G 6

8:49 am

PastorJ

hurshy, the last person I know that it happened to couldn't access her email anymore, so she may or may not get anything sent to her.

8:49 am

hurshy

Jacqueline

8:49 am

jmcnrick

Jillian Ermintude

8:49 am

jmcnrick

sorry Jillian Ermintrude

8:50 am

hurshy

do you want more J ideas? i can spout them off as long as you like!

8:50 am

Mom

Hi Haz, nice to see you

hurshy

i thought Jemima was a good suggestion

8:52 am

Haz1558

You don't meet many Jemimas.

8:52 am

hurshy

nope, just au4 Jemima.

8:52 am

jmcnrick

jemima was good too but i think JUwanda wins the prize!

8:53 am

Haz1558

Jemima Ermintrude, get up off that floor this instant!

8:53 am

car.eeyore

So wonderful! I stretched out these old muscles and now I feel great!

Absence of b7.

Hello again everyone - keep getting called away at work...dont they know babble is a priority...lol

societies do all the time, but then individuals get sick of society and wander off into the dangerous places and start new societies ;)

let me see, i thought he was the guy that said technological improvements in agriculture would (or was it wouldn't?) always keep up with population growth. what else did he say? i mean, what are you referring to?

9:51 am

o-o

Malthus was a political economist who was concerned about, what he saw as, the decline of living conditions in nineteenth century England. He blamed this decline on three elements: The overproduction of young; the inability of resources to keep up with the rising human population; and the irresponsibility of the lower classes. To combat this, Malthus suggested the family size of the lower class ought to be regulated such that poor families do not produce more children than they can support. Does this sound familiar? China has implemented a policy of one child per family (though this applies to all families, not just those of the lower class).

9:52 am

hurshy

ah, yes, so he had FAILED to think about technological improvements in agriculture and stuff.

Or Hawking's suggestion of going to another planet.

9:53 am

hurshy

i just think... well... let's say we drastically reduce our military spending and use the money to pay people for their land/homes in super dangerous areas and relocate elsewhere and build airports and things for new populations centers. then later we save on FEMA money and so forth. i wonder if that would hold up in an economic analysis as a worthwhile idea.

9:54 am

hurshy

not that this would ever HAPPEN. major things don't tend to happen, politically.

9:55 am

Erda

One of these days someone will start preaching what is already ever so obvious: the dangers of overpopulation. However, just thinking about that makes my head spin. I can almost hear the reaction...

9:55 am

o-o

So, according to famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, it's time to free ourselves from Mother Earth. "I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space," Hawking tells Big Think. "It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million. The human race shouldn't have all its eggs in one basket, or on one planet. Let's hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load

9:56 am

hurshy

but overpopulation isn't THAT hard to solve. you don't actually have to REGULATE it, because when given the choice, most women don't want to have large numbers of children. it's really just a matter of getting education and birth control to everyone, and it will basically take care of itself through free choices.

9:58 am

Riverdance

seems we can all play babble an7/40 we want

10:00 am

hurshy

hawking, of course, is a humanist, so he finds that more of an imperative than i would as a Christian. as a Christian, i think we have stewardship responsibilities and justice responsibilities to the planet, life on the planet, our fellow human beings - but i don't think we have a moral imperative to preserve "the species" just for its own sake, in the face of, say, a large asteroid blowing us to bits.

10:00 am

bardofawen

education and birth control help, certainly, but more importantly, equality for women, and in most cases, that involves centuries of societal programming and religious ideology.

10:00 am

lbdawger

ty br and river

10:00 am

rururocks

having certain churches like the catholic church not promoting kids after kid would help too

10:01 am

"religious ideology" -- !! Now, there's the rub!

rururocks

Or having TV shows like KATE & 8 and the dumb DUggers

10:01 am

10:01 am

hurshy

equality for women CAN take a long time, but in some cases, it can be a reasonably rapid transition. i mean, i remember reading about one family where the wife got a microloan and started a business and suddenly the whole family dynamic changed. her drunk of a husband quickly realized that she in fact was the power in the family and he had to treat her differently and stuff.

10:02 am

common now ruru,the duggers are just trying to make money to feed their props..err i mean litter...i mean children

10:02 am

but MOST catholics (at least, american catholics), don't actually run their reproductive lives based on what the church says, i believe.

10:03 am

but again, in third world areas, the lack of birth control and the catholic teaching may be going hand in hand, and you might find that if you add the birth control, the catholic teaching suddenly is revealed not to have been as big a factor as one might have thought.

10:05 am

why catholic per se?

10:06 am

well of the christian denominations, only catholicism and to some extent evangelicalism are dogmatic about not using birth control.

somewhat of an easy puzzle today - only had to list for the last 10

10:09 am

crosshair

so,if you are a member of that sect,you have to pump out babies non stop,or watch the sex,or burn in hell if you use birth control??? sorry but i have never followed this side of religeon

10:09 am

Riverdance

very interesting but I must get back to work - enjoy your day everyone - by happy

10:09 am

indeed, river. it was just those G's that were nasty, wouldn't you say?

10:09 am

There are a lot of tough choices the world has to make. I wish I had more confidence in our leaders.

10:09 am

just one in particular for me - the gi5 was a challenge - monkeys worked hard

10:10 am

Riverdance

I agree whole heartedly BR with that... bye folks

10:11 am

o-o

Be well, Riverdance

10:11 am

hurshy

crossy - the official line of the Roman Catholic church is that the rhythm method is the only acceptable form of birth control, yes. but again, individual Catholics often don't feel uncomfortable about not toeing the pope's line. as to burning in hell... well, there is such a thing as forgiveness. too.

10:11 am

crosshair

want something to make you uneasy,think of all those reactors in japan,then bring up the world map..i was surprised how close japan is to everything else....

10:12 am

so what is their word if you use condoms or the new twice a year shot?

10:12 am

hurshy

that you are not acting in accordance with the will of God.

10:13 am

Erda

Robert Kennedy had 11 children -- why? WHY?

10:13 am

bardofawen

hurshy - that's true in societies where there is a lot of mixed religious thinking, but I wonder if the same could be said of countries that are overwhelmingly Catholic, like Mexico and Brazil

10:13 am

crosshair

so you protect yourself and ask forgiveness..kind of like wanting a bike but having no money,so you steal it and ask forgiveness lol

10:14 am

hurshy

indeed, bard, i'm sure there are differences there.

10:14 am

crosshair

well each to their own i say but no 22 babbies for crossy

10:14 am

rururocks

definitely in South America there is the problem

10:14 am

bichon

I don't see the pont of doing something sinful, knowing you're going to do it again, and asking for forgiveness in confession

10:15 am

rururocks

yes.. bichon.. those are called "bankers"

10:15 am

hurshy

well crossy, i would not recommend that approach myself... St. Paul certainly condemned it in his letter to the Romans... but then, I'm not Roman Catholic myself, so I don't have a conflict there. then again i also think that most american Catholics just choose to disagree that using birth control is sinful, rather than thinking it is and wanting forgiveness.

10:15 am

bichon

2 babies was enough for me, but some people really wants lots of kids, can afford them, and do well by them

10:15 am

crosshair

i guess the mother church never heard of pre-ejaculate when using they ryhtym method that how duggers are born

10:16 am

bardofawen

technically, it wouldn't count anyway since there is no genuine repentance in asking forgiveness for something you plan to do again, but that doesn't stop people from trying ;)

10:16 am

bichon

yes, more souls for the Catholic church. Isn't that the real idea

10:16 am

hurshy

robert kennedy, of course, may have simply felt that his good looks ought to be passed on as much as possible.

10:16 am

bichon

RFK was good looking?

10:17 am

hurshy

in some people's opinion, the kennedy clan is good looking. i don't see it but he may have felt he was!

10:17 am

crosshair

we must adapt and not take all old texts verbatum..or we would still be killing our wives off for cheating ;)

10:17 am

crosshair

i think elen degeneris(sp) does a good speech on this

10:18 am

bardofawen

more souls is an interesting way to think about it, since a number of Christian denominations, including Catholicism is I'm not greatly mistaken believes that only a certain number of people getting to heaven, regardless of conduct

10:18 am

crosshair

more collections for the plate

10:18 am

i don't think Catholicism thinks there are numerical limitations on heaven. i think only Jehovah's Witnesses are really into that.

10:24 am

crosshair

lol

10:26 am

hurshy

the trouble i have with UU's is that there is too much freedom. i think just as children like to have some boundaries, all of us need some guidelines that we don't just establish for ourselves. otherwise, it's too easy to make "whatever i feel like doing" equal "what i think is right".

being sterilized by chemo would not be a sin in any church as far as i am aware... and i THINK the catholic church and most churches DO make exceptions regarding intentional abortion or sterilization for the life of the mother. just not abortions for rape and incest and stuff like that.

10:33 am

crosshair

what is UU?

10:34 am

hurshy

well really if you start with certain premises, it makes sense. save the life of the mother is ok because it's a trade off of lives. but in the case of rape, where the mother will not die, the argument is, let's not let the baby be killed for another person's sin.

I love it. I can always tell by the smell in the air. And I saw some robins today. : )

we don't have robins here, just some little birds with red throats and grey. It is very interesting watching birds hereas I've identified more than 20 that aren't in the US, all in front of my kitchen window where the feeder is

Ahh...thank you so much. I had run them through my mind every which way :)

2:06 pm

i set a goal of NBT and go through each of the letter tiles and try to get at least one word for each

2:07 pm

wvteach

it does actually help you search for words that i might otherwise totally miss

I guess I should get around to sending my money and become at pro...that seems like it would help lots.

2:21 pm

hurshy

i have a question for people... so, i've had this supervisor (luckily she's not really my supervisor anymore) who is very incompetent. one of her main areas of incompetence is the computer. i feel like i could do everything she does, but she certainly can't do everything that i do. yet she gets paid more! anyway, i'm just wondering, do you think technology has created a lot of situations like that, which sort of violate the older assumption that the people higher up can do more things, and they just don't have time for all the tasks, so they delegate? or is someone as incompetent as this woman the exception rather than the rule?

2:23 pm

amelu0218

hursh... unquestionably.

2:23 pm

amelu0218

it's the norm...

2:24 pm

Kazzer99

unfortunately hurshy is is not

2:24 pm

hurshy

so how do we, like, have a revolt and get rid of the incompetents?

2:24 pm

tedybeth

hurshy - that may be it in her case. But this type of thing as 'always' been in office/work places .. before technology .... Some of us who were in the workplace 25 yrs. ago faced the same situation. There was even a book called the "Peter Principle' which proves that people eventually get promoted one step past their peak abilities ...

2:25 pm

amelu0218

documentation, documentation, documentation...

2:25 pm

Kazzer99

you cant cos that opens the way to madness where all the youngster steal our jobs

2:25 pm

hurshy

well this woman is 65 anyway so she really OUGHT to retire.

2:26 pm

hurshy

i think the peter principle is sort of different. i think of that as the captain kirk principle, myself. he was best at being a captain, they made him an admiral and he hated it.

2:26 pm

Cherrypop

case by case please!

2:26 pm

Kazzer99

hmm - yes but now that age of retirement has been abolished difficult to do

2:26 pm

tedybeth

amelu: so right: documentation on everything!!

2:27 pm

hurshy

in my case documentation doesn't help. everyone else knows she's incompetent too, but they feel bad for her, so they let her stay.

2:27 pm

hurshy

she's not even ALLOWED to do certain things because she can't be trusted with them.

2:27 pm

Kazzer99

not a lot you can do - i helped my older colleague and then he just retired eventually anyway

2:28 pm

tedybeth

sounds like some situations my daughter has had in her office. really frustrating!

2:28 pm

MollyL

Question, how do you know she gets paid more?

2:28 pm

hurshy

because i manage the budget! she gets paid almost twice what i do.

2:29 pm

MollyL

In that case, since you have a legitimate reason to know her salary, I would go straight to my boss with something like this.

2:30 pm

hurshy

but it really does boggle my mind that with people higher up knowing how she lies and manipulates, doesn't follow rules, says inappropriate things, can't be trusted with anything money related, can't do practical stuff... they still let her stay!

2:31 pm

hurshy

molly - it wouldn't help, because we have very structured positions and salaries here. i can't negotiate a raise or anything.

2:31 pm

Kazzer99

still difficult

2:32 pm

hurshy

and the person who makes the decision to let her stay is least impacted by her staying, so it's easy for him to do that.

2:32 pm

Kazzer99

limiest

2:33 pm

Kazzer99

oops sorry folks

2:33 pm

hurshy

the person above her is going to be leaving and a new person in that role as of july 1. he was hoping to get rid of her. but the person above HIM decided otherwise.

2:33 pm

anyway, sorry for all the venting.

The operator of Japan's tsunami-crippled nuclear plant says it has almost completed a new power line that could restore electricity to the complex and solve the crisis that has threatened a meltdown.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Naoki Tsunoda said the power line to Fukushima Dai-ichi is almost complete.
The new line would revive electric-powered pumps, allowing the company to maintain a steady water supply to troubled reactors and spent fuel storage ponds, keeping them cool.

jmcnrick

sorry scientists!

3:49 pm

Atalante

"A sea slug so transparent that itâ€™s digestive system shows through its skin. An upside jellyfish attached to rocks with a stalk. Not maybe what you would expect to see on a rockpooling expedition in Kent. And not what volunteers and staff from Kent Wildlife Trust expected to find on their monthly shore surveys. "

3:50 pm

Atalante

am writing the press release at the moment!

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

so true i love to hear him sing

4:22 pm

MollyL

Good eye Kap. First and last name in playable form. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

hi molly

4:22 pm

Boobear

Hi Molly

4:22 pm

MollyL

Heya JMC, how's your Wednesday.

4:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I thought that's the gi we were talking about before.

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

it is kap but molly wasn't here

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

pretty good i got some stuff off my desk

4:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

when charlie sheen shows up in the grid, I'll know something's fishy

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

*looks at floor*

4:23 pm

MollyL

I see the gi word and I think guitar. That's what happens when you hang out with musicians all your life.

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

sheen has shown up before

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

well that works too molly

4:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I thought guitar too.

4:24 pm

MollyL

My parents would have thought cocktail.

4:24 pm

Boobear

does everyone think that Charlie Sheen should have been fired?

4:25 pm

MollyL

All I have seen in this grid over and over again is donuts.

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

no i don't but it was not my call

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

i see the donuts too molly

4:26 pm

MollyL

I think Charlie Sheen needs a 5150, which is the technical term for involuntary committment.

4:27 pm

ivesy3

i agree with molly.. he is so way out there.he needs help.. but u know addicts are the last one to admit they are addicts

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

i doubt he is likely to cause harm to himself or others--he mainly spouts off

4:27 pm

Boobear

I think firing was the only thing they could do. How can someone behave so badly

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

hi ivesy

4:28 pm

ivesy3

hi jm, hi all..

4:28 pm

ivesy3

$2 million an episode!!

4:28 pm

jmcnrick

well maybe i am not reading the things you are but all i see is him saying things that people don't like -- has he actually DONE something beside show up late to work?

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

that show will not survive without him I guess they are content with reruns

4:29 pm

ivesy3

not that i read. i think that he needs help,but i think the work issue was personal betwen him and the producer

4:30 pm

ivesy3

when he talks , he looks crazy!!

4:30 pm

jmcnrick

well let me ask you which one of you has never said in the heat of an argument I am going to kill you or something equivalent?

4:31 pm

lynxxx

Hah - just got the li5.16 expression - Gawd Bl****

4:31 pm

ivesy3

lol.. i have!! dont think im crazy though,

4:31 pm

MollyL

Not me. But I think there is WAY more to Sheen's problems than that.

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

ty lynxxx i should have seen that one

4:32 pm

jmcnrick

i think so too molly but i also think that the custody battle and the "press" have blown this up way more than would have happened if he were not famous and didn't have a perfect brother and a nearly perfect dad

4:33 pm

ivesy3

yes, but that is the price of fame.

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

i think he is taking way more hits than he deserves and a lot of what is going on is defensiveness

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

getting locked up in a mental institution?

4:34 pm

ivesy3

as a mother of a recovering addict, it breaks your heart when they dont admit they need help. i dont think he is clean

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

okay no more preaching *zips lips*

4:34 pm

frogface

hate to upset the apple cart but charlies dad was no waaaaaay nearly perfect at about the same age as charlie is now

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

but the homeless charities think he is an effen saint

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

*zips fingers*

4:35 pm

lynxxx

lol

4:35 pm

ivesy3

well, i like them both as actors. hate to see what he is going thru. hate to see his family go thru it. his father is a recovering alcholic

4:35 pm

ivesy3

well, i like them both as actors. hate to see what he is going thru. hate to see his family go thru it. his father is a recovering alcholic

4:35 pm

frogface

thankfully martin sorted himself out and is, yes, now a thorogjhly decent man so hopefully charlie will follow his example - eventually

4:35 pm

MollyL

I don't think he's clean either Ivesy. And I've logged a lot of time around recovering addicts and alcoholics.

4:36 pm

ivesy3

me too, up close and personal

4:36 pm

lynxxx

OK giving up for now - still a few to find but must dash - seeya

4:37 pm

MollyL

(((Ivesy)))) I think dealing with addiction as a parent of an addict is the hardest way to deal with it.

4:39 pm

ivesy3

yes its a hard road. even when they are clean, and mine is, u still wonder when will they use. u support them, but i dont think u ever trust them

4:41 pm

MollyL

Trust is a very hard thing to build back. I hope you get there again with your son or daughter Ivesy. Meanwhile, I'm glad to hear the spin is towards recovery at the moment.

4:42 pm

ivesy3

ty molly... 8 mos and counting!

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is what most of my work is about as a therapist

4:45 pm

MollyL

I'm grateful there are people like you Kap.

4:45 pm

ivesy3

really kap? thats interesting.he has had many counselors.. the last 2 were the ones that kept him going

4:46 pm

uusue2

So, I am at the airport!

4:46 pm

uusue2

As usual (apparently) they canceled my original flight but this time I lost my upgrade. Oh well.

4:47 pm

MollyL

Sue, you must be racking up the frequent flier miles. Safe travels to you.

4:47 pm

uusue2

Not nearly as fast as when I was commuting from Chicago to Geneva, Molly :-) but flying isn't as fun as it used to be, with very crowded planes and intrusive security.

4:48 pm

ivesy3

well, the sun is shining here and a balmy 41 degrees!

4:48 pm

MollyL

Oh trust me Sue, I don't consider flying fun.

4:49 pm

o-o

Sun is good, ivesy

4:49 pm

uusue2

gee, it's a lot warmer than that in Newark, ivesy, but also sunny!

4:50 pm

o-o

freezing rain.

4:51 pm

uusue2

ok, it is always embarrassing to realize that I've missed the singular of a word that I have the pllural of :-/

4:51 pm

frogface

li7/32 pls xxx

4:51 pm

ivesy3

oh well, western ny, is having a hard time gettin into spring lol

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I hate it when that happens.

4:51 pm

MollyL

<-------Does that a lot.

4:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Fish smack!

4:52 pm

uusue2

even northern Illinois is warm today! The dog needs a haircut, apparently - getting too hot for her already!

4:52 pm

frogface

4:52 pm

Glantarell

frog - the most citrus fruit

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or the most British?

4:53 pm

Glantarell

4:53 pm

frogface

ty xxx

4:53 pm

Glantarell

yes Kap

4:54 pm

uusue2

Lickety

4:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what about Lickety?

4:54 pm

uusue2

Lickety's list is easier to use when you realize that O comes after N...

4:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You betcha.

4:55 pm

uusue2

sorry, the apostrophe key is much too close to the enter key.

4:56 pm

Soodle

Hi everybody. Babbles been very bumpy today.. loads of 'Word cannot be added messages'.... I wonder is it just me?

4:56 pm

uusue2

haven't run into that, soodle; weren't you having those problems yesterday too?

4:56 pm

Glantarell

Hi Soodle - not today but yesterday and the day before were like that on and off through the ehole time

4:57 pm

Glantarell

whole, even!

4:57 pm

Glantarell

stile

4:57 pm

Glantarell

ooops

4:57 pm

Soodle

I guess, like everything else, the Paddies are the last to know... :-)! Seems to be grand now.

4:57 pm

Glantarell

off to the PB I go - and choclit in there?

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

:)

4:58 pm

Soodle

Choclit flavoured Baileys, Glan, on account of the day tomorrow!

4:59 pm

Soodle

Sue... I seem to have lost track of your comings and goings.... Are you back with your Dad at the moment?

4:59 pm

Glantarell

phantoms - tryst, donut, and several others - the vowels just aren't in the right places in today's grid!

5:00 pm

uusue2

so my son went to donate blood plasma in order to earn a few $$$, found out he couldn't as he'd let his drivers license expire. Sigh.

5:00 pm

Soodle

You guys get PAID for donating?

5:00 pm

uusue2

gee, soodle, can't imagine why :-) actually I am in the airport on my way home after visiting my dad for 4 days.

5:00 pm

uusue2

He is doing quite amazingly well.

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

Afternoon!

5:00 pm

Glantarell

and 4 variations on my mothers sister is a bit excessive!

5:01 pm

Glantarell

e don't get paid for donating here

5:01 pm

uusue2

not regular blood, soodle, but plasma - this is where they take it out one arm and put the red cells back in - if you do this 4x per month you can get $200

5:01 pm

redturtlehead

we dont get paid for Blood, but sometimes for plasma...

5:01 pm

Soodle

Like I said, Sue, my Babbles been on the blink. But I am very glad your Dad is doing so well. Rock on, Sue's Dad!

5:02 pm

redturtlehead

great news uusue

5:02 pm

uusue2

whole blood you can only donate every couple of months or so, and that is voluntary.

5:02 pm

Soodle

I donated my 41st pint of blood last week....

5:02 pm

uusue2

Yay, dad!!

5:02 pm

Glantarell

we can only donate every 6mmonths here and it is all voluntary

5:03 pm

redturtlehead

Yaaay Soodle! they wont take my blood.

5:03 pm

Soodle

Is plasma donations tougher on a person's system?

5:03 pm

Glantarell

they won't take mine any more since my cancer diagnosis

5:04 pm

redturtlehead

but..I am going tomorrow to be placed on the Bone Marrow Donor registry....

5:04 pm

Soodle

I received a blood transfusion when I was 18, which saved my life, so, I reckon its the least I can do....

5:05 pm

uusue2

oh, I'm on the bone marrow donor list too, since my sister's cancer diagnosis (many years ago)

5:05 pm

uusue2

although I may become too old soon.

5:05 pm

redturtlehead

I have a friend who needs a transplant...actually oddly, 2 ppl I know.

5:06 pm

uusue2

about the plasma (as my last message seems to have disappeared into the ether) - they take blood from one arm, filter it, and return your red cells via the other arm. Whole process takes about 2 hours.

5:07 pm

uusue2

You can do it every week, though, as mostly your body just has to replace the fluids (much faster than making new red blood cells)

5:07 pm

uusue2

21 left and an hour until boarding time - I think I can do this...

5:08 pm

Soodle

Seems very simple, Sue. Next time I'm at the blood bank I will make enquiries. Thanks be to goodness, I am a healthy enough specimen, so maybe I will be accepted as a donor.

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

I'm at 78 left...but I just started...

5:09 pm

uusue2

the other nice thing about plasma is that it doesn't need to be typed so they can use it for anyone (but it is missing the red cells so doesn't do the whole job; depends on what is needed)

5:09 pm

Soodle

I got fireworks for the first time in days earlier, Red, so I can happily clue if necessary.

5:10 pm

Soodle

Erm... I can clue happily, not necessarily well..... lol

5:10 pm

redturtlehead

I have no idea yet what I need.

5:11 pm

uusue2

aaaaaah! Red message of death! So it isn't just you, soodle :-)

5:11 pm

redturtlehead

Plasma is aweseome. I like giving it.

5:11 pm

redturtlehead

I mean to patients, as I mentioned, they do not want my blood.

5:11 pm

Soodle

Horrible, Sue, isn't it?

5:12 pm

craftylady

clue please for el 7/32

5:12 pm

zoozzoom

more of a tree.

5:13 pm

craftylady

many thanks

5:13 pm

zoozzoom

yw :-)

5:13 pm

Soodle

I have 3 kids, and as soon as they turned 18 - they were marched off to the blood bank! They resisted at first, but it wasn't long before they started enjoying the feel-good factor! Two down, one to go!

5:13 pm

uusue2

oh, I've seen it before, and yes, it sucks :-) (the red message, that is)

5:14 pm

MollyL

Good for you Soodle. What a great way to pay it forward.

5:14 pm

Soodle

Hello Zooz (((()))

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

at first I thought you were referring to me, and I was wondering what I had written that construed a Message of Death!

5:14 pm

craftylady

snoa

5:14 pm

Soodle

Hey (((((Moll))))

5:14 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Soodle)) :-)

5:14 pm

uusue2

hahaha - not you, red! Sorry about that!!!

5:14 pm

Soodle

Lol Red..... relax.

5:14 pm

uusue2

more nasal than that, crafty

5:15 pm

zoozzoom

Sn + opp to no

5:15 pm

craftylady

sorry have the nasal one thanks have 13 left and finding them is getting hard

5:16 pm

Soodle

Its Wednesday evening here, but it feels like a Friday. No work tomorrow - St Patricks Day. Woo-Hoo!

5:17 pm

MollyL

Soda bread is made. Corned beef ready to go in the crock pot in the morning. Soda bread, honey and Irish whiskey will be left out for the little people tonight.

5:17 pm

zoozzoom

What have you got planned, Soodle?

5:18 pm

uusue2

sounds yummy, soodle!

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

h man, I would love to have St Pat's Day off!

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

nice meal Molly!

5:19 pm

uusue2

last word coming up, and it is a fish....

5:19 pm

zoozzoom

lol

5:19 pm

uusue2

ta da!!!

5:19 pm

Soodle

Oh my. Molly is totally putting me to shame. I have not corned beef ready, no soda bread, and as for the little people.... they will go thirsty! I'm just revelling in the fact I don't have to go to work tomorrow...

5:19 pm

zoozzoom

WTG Uusue.

5:19 pm

Soodle

Woo-Hoo Yoo-Soo!!!!

5:20 pm

MollyL

Corned beef on St. Pat's is a totally Americanized version of the day. Don't y'all do lamb stew or something more traditional?

5:21 pm

MollyL

And Soodle, fair warning. The little people get very cranky when you don't leave them treats on St. Patrick's Day Eve. And you don't get any gold coins in the morning either.

5:24 pm

uusue2

ok, I have updated my icon to a photo of my mom taken around the time she married my dad (1946)

5:24 pm

Soodle

ROFL, Moll. After being in the pub drowning the shamrock on St Patricks day most chefs are renderedmincompentant. So the usual fare is fish n chips from the local takeaway. However, I will heed your warning, and leave a couple of coins out for the gold-diggers!!!!

5:25 pm

uusue2

My mother was a beautiful woman...

5:25 pm

Soodle

Jeepers Sue, what a beautiful girl she was... How old was she in that pic?

5:26 pm

uusue2

She was in her early 20s.

5:26 pm

uusue2

She died of ovarian cancer shortly after her 50th birthday - "She never wanted to get old", my dad told me recently.

5:27 pm

Soodle

she looks like a teenager in that photo - and a sensational looking teenager at that....

5:29 pm

uusue2

Runs in the family - we tend to look younger than we are :-)

5:29 pm

Soodle

I'm not fishing to find out how old you are, Sue, but were you very young when she died, or do you have accurate memories of your Mom?

5:31 pm

uusue2

lol, soodle, my age is in my profile so not a big secret. I was 22 when she died, and remember her well. She died in 1973.

5:31 pm

MollyL

Jaysus Mary and Joseph Soodle. You don't leave coins for the little people. You leave them drink. THEY leave YOU coins in appreciation.

5:34 pm

Soodle

Molly! I will be forever in your debt. No wonder I am pauperised and poverty stricken. I was doing it backways all these years...Buckets of booze are being distributed around Chez Soodle as I type, to encourage the little people to bestow favours upon us...........

Sue.. 22 was a very difficult age to lose you mom. My own Mom lost her mother at age 15, and I think its affected her life ever since.

5:38 pm

uusue2

I think any age is difficult, soodle; my brother was 18 and my sister was 14 (and in turn my sister's children were teenagers when she passed away).

5:40 pm

frogface

can i ask you clever people a question? if you put an s on the end of some words it is a plural. wot is it called if you put ae on the end of a word?

5:40 pm

uusue2

Huh. So I've been plugged into this outlet at the airport for, oh, 2 hours now, but my computer doesn't seem to be charging. If I disappear suddenly you will know why :-)

5:40 pm

uusue2

frog, I would call that a Latin plural

5:41 pm

frogface

yes, but is there not an english word for this type of pluralisation?

5:42 pm

uusue2

you have just sailed past my knowledge of English, frog :-)

5:43 pm

Soodle

MollyL

May the Lord bless you and keep you Soodle. Millions of little people are descending on Chez Soodle as I type this. Faith and begorra.

5:47 pm

KnightTime

First declension latin nouns end in a, and ae for the plural. Pluralization is the correct word.

5:49 pm
