1:05 am

flosey

very slow starting, but picked up!

1:06 am

jillibus

I'm so mad at this new computer!

1:06 am

flosey

so frustrating

1:07 am

flosey

beautiful plum blossoms, jilli

1:07 am

jillibus

I'll call them tomorrow but I doubt if they can help figure out what's up with Babble -- they're not familiar with it.

1:07 am

jillibus

I love flowering plums.

1:08 am

flosey

that is very strange, wonder if Lickety himself could help

1:08 am

flosey

or Dr.G

1:08 am

jillibus

Well, time will tell. At least it's ok on the laptop.

1:09 am

flosey

that's good, and you're comfortable working with laptop? I still don't really care for it

1:09 am

jillibus

I don't think it would have anything to do with DrG -- it's part of Expert that isn't working properly and DrG has noting to do with that.

1:10 am

flosey

George seems ok with it

1:10 am

jillibus

I like the laptop but it's now in an inconvenient place.

1:11 am

flosey

Alley gave us a nice deep laptop cushion to sit it on

1:12 am

jillibus

This is so inconsistent -- the last time the list changed at flip time, but not this time. Maybe it will at the hiccup -- that happened once before.

1:12 am

flosey

I thought you had it working at one time

1:12 am

flosey

do you want any clues?

1:13 am

jillibus

I have a laptop cushion too -- Xmas present -- haven't used it yet. I have the laptop on the kitchen table.

1:13 am

flosey

I've used it on the coffee table when watching TV downstairs

1:13 am

jillibus

Yes, it works sometimes -- sometimes not.

1:14 am

flosey

so annoying!

1:15 am

jillibus

Very. Anyway, I'm going to head for bed before long -- tired. It's been a dizzying few days!

1:16 am

flosey

ok, me too, goodnight then

1:16 am

Gadget

Any clues for the A words that aren't about being against something?

hello mr pres!

1:37 am

flosey

just changed icon for tomorrow, poof

1:38 am

flosey

I shuddered at first mrp, but after a few minutes the words fell into place

1:38 am

flosey

plus asked for a few clues

1:39 am

flosey

and really poof now

1:47 am

jillibus

hi mrp! Just tuned back in

1:47 am

jillibus

Ageof, I don't think this gird is easy but then I'm half asleep

1:48 am

hey all

1:50 am

m9f9l

a little one eh?

2:06 am

jillibus

hi m9

2:06 am

m9f9l

long midnight blip

2:07 am

m9f9l

got nbt but not nbs. and over 1/2way

2:07 am

m9f9l

first 60 went pretty quick

2:08 am

jillibus

I have 4 left but must take a small break now -- back asap

2:08 am

m9f9l

k

2:10 am

jillibus

I've been having the weirdest problems with Babble Expert on my new desktop.

2:11 am

m9f9l

oh no.

2:11 am

m9f9l

I haven't used expert

2:11 am

m9f9l

nbs!

2:11 am

jillibus

changing icons doesn't work unless I do it on the laptop -- then it changes in the profile on the desktop but not on the screen until the flip. Lickety's list won't change until after the midnight hiccup.

2:12 am

jillibus

Expert is wonderful -- I can't remember why you don't use it -- do you have a Mac?

2:12 am

jillibus

wtg re nbt/nbs

2:12 am

m9f9l

no.. it's cause I can't put anything on this laptop

2:13 am

jillibus

oh yes -- hubby doesn't like it, right?

2:14 am

m9f9l

yuyp

2:14 am

m9f9l

yup

2:14 am

jillibus

bummer

2:14 am

m9f9l

2:14 am

m9f9l

can't think what else would comeoff there!

2:15 am

m9f9l

ok.. now 2

2:15 am

2:17 am

m9f9l

32 left.. suppose I should list..

2:17 am

m9f9l

WTG!

2:17 am

jillibus

lots of useless words here

2:18 am

m9f9l

but I don't want to list when I only have 1 of 6 off the left i!

2:18 am

jillibus

I'd like to help but I really must pack it in.

2:18 am

m9f9l

ok.. got 3 of them now

2:18 am

m9f9l

no prob.. I have 30 left.

2:18 am

m9f9l

I'll leave them for tomorrow.. I should pack it in too!

2:19 am

jillibus

I don't see any point in holding off the list -- I use it after getting nbt

2:19 am

m9f9l

I always try to get nbs, nbt and 1/2 way

2:19 am

m9f9l

just my thing.LOL

2:20 am

jillibus

I'm too thick to wait for halfway -- and too impatient.

2:20 am

jillibus

Anyway, goodnight and happy babbling tomorrow...*poof*

2:20 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

2:21 am

jillibus

hi ruby -- did you see all our birthday wishes yesterday?

2:23 am

rubyfoo

yes, jilli, it was wonderful! I think that is the best birthday I've had in many years and my babble friends doubled the pleasure. The only think I missed, I think, was Sprite's birthday icon. My computer kept quitting on me all day

2:23 am

rubyfoo

I don't feel much older, only a little.....

2:24 am

rubyfoo

it was also nice to share it with wildcat, who I think is pretty shy. She lives in Austin, like my son

2:25 am

jillibus

Sprite's birthday icon for you is still up if you have her in your My Friends here -- or you could find her in Rankings

2:26 am

jillibus

I hope you saw that I posted Ruby Foo's restaurant in Montreal ;-)

2:36 am

rubyfoo

no, sprite isn't in my friends (why? lol)

2:37 am

rubyfoo

it is too funny about Rubyfoo's in Montreal because that was the restaurant in NY where my mother used to take me as a special treat when I was little

2:37 am

rubyfoo

I'll look for Sprite in the rankings. You friends are the best!

2:43 am

jillibus

When sprite comes online, you can put her in your Friends.

2:45 am

jillibus

And now I must repoof...*

2:47 am

rubyfoo

yay! I finally was able to find Sprite's birthday icon.. It was adorable - my Max with a candle on his nose.

2:48 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, whenever I do anything other than just play, my connection breaks and I have to re-boot!

2:54 am

jillibus

*unpoof...I thought you'd get a kick out of it...*re-repoof (for sure this time!)

2:54 am

rubyfoo

thank you!

2:58 am

Clue please for ge 6/27

3:25 am

Glantarell

phantom intrigue

3:25 am

rubyfoo

31 left, but these will be one-by-one, if at all....

3:25 am

rubyfoo

nice phantom

3:26 am

Glantarell

61 left for me but only at I

3:26 am

Soodle

HI everybody. Rubes - did you have a good birthday?

3:26 am

Glantarell

hi soodle

3:27 am

rubyfoo

{{soodle}} yes, it was lovely, much better than I expected!

3:27 am

Soodle

Good!

3:27 am

rubyfoo

husband was a champ!

3:28 am

Soodle

I'm delighted!

3:28 am

Glantarell

you don't say that very often ruby!

3:29 am

o-o

Yes, at Babble husbands are most often presented as chumps, not champs.

3:29 am

Soodle

I have to go to a funeral this morning. A dear friend passed away after suffering from MS for 16 years.

3:29 am

Glantarell

sorry to hear that soodle

3:30 am

rubyfoo

oh, so sad! extra big {{}}'s for you soodle

3:30 am

Glantarell

BR - I am jaded and biased at present but my husband is definitely a chump

3:30 am

rubyfoo

he's back to normal this AM, but he was lovely all weekend

3:31 am

Soodle

BabbleRabble, are you speaking as a husband, or an observer?

3:32 am

rubyfoo

is BR a spy for "the other side"?

3:32 am

rubyfoo

hahahah

3:33 am

o-o

Hello, Soodlebum. I was fortunate to have been refused by all whom I thought I loved. I speak as an observer, recognizing there are for more wives that husbands here.

3:33 am

Soodle

Spoken like a true bachelor!

3:33 am

Glantarell

I wish I'd refused all those I thought I loved :-)

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I think you are much loved in Babble, BR!!!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

or like a ge7!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

I was lucky to have a loooong space of freedom between husbands!

3:36 am

mrpresident

sorry was on phone call!

3:36 am

mrpresident

hello all again :)

3:36 am

Glantarell

bore da mr P

3:37 am

rubyfoo

r's rolfed, h's handled, e's ended

3:37 am

o-o

"Bachelor" is a pejorative to many. One of my aunts at every gathering would tell anyone who would listen I was gay. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being gay. Still, I was ostracised.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

hello mrp

3:37 am

Glantarell

sorry to hear that BR - how unkind

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I think we all have at least one aunt like that! But that is really rotten

3:38 am

mrpresident

That is just crazy babrab.... none of their business either

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I think I would ask her rude questions about her private life (or lack of lol)

3:39 am

o-o

That no amount of discussion could convince the aunt otherwise was more frustration. She perceived her outbursts as her Christian duty.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

sounds very un-Christian to me!

3:40 am

o-o

Oh well, I can laugh about it now.

3:40 am

Glantarell

Many Christians who express themselves forcefully and self righteously are un-Christian, I have noticed

3:40 am

Glantarell

glad you can laugh now BR

3:40 am

rubyfoo

yes, but it must have been painful and frustrating at the time

3:41 am

rubyfoo

it's like being asked "When did you stop beating your wife?" There isn't a good answer

3:41 am

Glantarell

my monkey can't find the V - and I can't see any more choices LOL

3:42 am

Haz1558

vi4/7 - where the grape grows but with a different final vowel.

3:42 am

mrpresident

we have a desparaging saying here... 'he is a LOVELY boy'... and everyone says, 'OOOOHHHH!'

3:42 am

Glantarell

TY Haz - i knew it was there somewhere!

3:43 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

that's nasty, too, mrp

3:44 am

mrpresident

too right ruby

3:45 am

rubyfoo

it's hard to understand that kind of self-righteous and outspoken intolerance and smugness

3:46 am

rubyfoo

(if only the h's were near the t's, it would change the outcome quite a lot)

3:47 am

mrpresident

I am beginning to learn that the perception and uglyness in people who think they are above everyone else morally are the ones that are stupid or evil.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

amen, mrp!

3:51 am

mrpresident

on a good note! we have Easter and Anzac Day all wrapped in the same week... so we all get 5 days off!!!

3:51 am

Glantarell

we get easter and a royal wedding...

3:51 am

rubyfoo

that's a nice treat! how is the weather?

3:52 am

mrpresident

oh the wedding!! I am so looking forward to that!!

3:52 am

Glantarell

was that honest or ironic Mr P?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

here they don't celebrate(??) Good Friday like in NY, but instead take off on Easter Monday.

3:52 am

mrpresident

weather is up and down... either raining like heck of sunny and gorgeous!! that is our April/May weather.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

in NY people fasted and spent the day in church. Not here!

3:52 am

Glantarell

sunny and gorgeous here

3:53 am

rubyfoo

it is cooler now than it was a month ago, but it is making the spring flowers last longer, so I don't mind

3:53 am

mrpresident

We have Good Friday off, and no business open (no alcohol can be sold on that day), Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday... the Anzac day adds to it

3:53 am

rubyfoo

surprisingly, locals don't go to church here. They had to close down the church in our village, except for funerals, because they lost the priest.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I always thought the French were religious until I moved here. The locals refer to "Cathos" disparagingly, which I find sort of funny, having grown up in a Catholig neighborhood

3:56 am

mrpresident

Not sure about the French... they eat horses and snails and puppy dog tails! LOL

3:56 am

rubyfoo

and the dearth of rabbits, squirrels and deer, give me pause as well

3:57 am

rubyfoo

and the women wear coats made of hundreds of tiny skins - mice, rats, squirrels?

3:57 am

mrpresident

mind you, we can't talk here in Australia... Kangaroo (which is on our national emblem) is sold in all supermarkets

3:57 am

rubyfoo

we have edible snails in the garden, but I'd rather buy them frozen and ready to put in the oven then have to purge them for 2 days, etc.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

no kidding, mrp. How does it taste? Tough?

3:58 am

mrpresident

it is really good! just like venison

3:58 am

rubyfoo

we have lots of wild boar which they eat and serve locally, but I don't like it

3:59 am

mrpresident

never had boar... but have goat all the time

3:59 am

rubyfoo

(not a big venison fan, either)

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I love goat if it's well done enough

3:59 am

rubyfoo

our local Italian restaurant makes it for Easter

4:00 am

mrpresident

we also have crocodile, emu and snake

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I have croc shoes, but have never eaten it. They served alligator in Florida, but I think I only had it once and don't remember the taste

4:01 am

mrpresident

unfortunately, kangaroos are considered a pest here... and they are culled all the time.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

emu must taste like austrich, which I've had -- not distinguished, I thought

4:01 am

mrpresident

we have a farm, 3500 acres, and they shooters come every few months.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

that's what they did with deer in NY State. There were just too many and they set different quotas each year, some for does, etc.

4:02 am

mrpresident

emu is like goose... just more pheasant like

4:02 am

rubyfoo

ostrich*

4:02 am

rubyfoo

so not so fatty

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I would love it then

4:03 am

mrpresident

all our pet food is made from kangaroo

4:03 am

mrpresident

you would luv emu!! it is a good bird to eat

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I make beef hearts and chicken liver risotto for the dogs, with brown rice

4:03 am

mrpresident

lucky dogs!!

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I would try any food but tend to like the nasty bits....

4:04 am

rubyfoo

they are definitely spoiled but smile a lot

4:05 am

mrpresident

I tease the kids all the time, tell them that I am making Dolphin skewers, Bat wings, Goanna tail stew and Echindna pie

4:05 am

rubyfoo

what is goanna?

4:06 am

rubyfoo

sounds like a lizard

4:06 am

mrpresident

a massive mentor lizard

4:06 am

rubyfoo

my husband won't eat any "exotica", he just like everything with hot peppers

4:06 am

mrpresident

with claws about 3 inches long!! like a Jersey girl wearing reptile skin

4:07 am

rubyfoo

I think lizards can be beautiful, like snakes, but we only have little brown and black ones. Are they dangerous?

4:07 am

rubyfoo

love reptile skin!

4:08 am

mrpresident

the goannas?? oh yeah!! they climb you and vicerate you

4:08 am

rubyfoo

oooh, are there many?

4:09 am

rubyfoo

your wildlife is a lot scarier than ours. Here, the only dangerous thing is vipers, but there aren't that many and they're very shy

4:09 am

mrpresident

well, we have 4 in our backyard everyday

4:09 am

rubyfoo

wow!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

are the children safe?

4:10 am

rubyfoo

Do they eat all the insects?

4:10 am

rubyfoo

all this talk of exotic food is making me hungry. I had better go and fix lunch.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

see you later! nice talking with you mrp

4:13 am

mrpresident

you too darling!! have to go prepare dinner myself!

rubyfoo

5:40 am

Odin

I worked EMS and there are some canals that you'd swear they would carry you off. Welts everywhere.

5:41 am

movieman

5:41 am

herinfernallady

I hate winter I am getting sick again

5:41 am

rubyfoo

no mosquitoes here I think because we have a bat cave just above us in the cliff

5:41 am

ivesy3

western tier, we get some crap weather, but we seem to forget when its gorgeous in the summer

5:41 am

rubyfoo

no, don't get sick, herin. Come here for a cure!

5:41 am

crosshair

bats can be handy

5:42 am

ivesy3

if we get summer , lol

5:42 am

Odin

Odin send a "special hot toddy" to herinfer

5:42 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves bats

5:42 am

rubyfoo

Binghamton had the worst weather imaginable, less sunshine than Seattle even

5:43 am

rubyfoo

like tiny black butterflies

5:43 am

Odin

Worse than Seattle...that's really bad weather then

5:43 am

rubyfoo

no sunshine

5:44 am

Odin

Bats aren't too prevelent here any more. I still see a few now and then.

5:44 am

rubyfoo

this place has perfect weather, 4 real seasons, the longest being (my favorite) spring

5:44 am

crosshair

crossy cannot wait for real spring....

5:44 am

rubyfoo

I think NY state has suffered white-nose-fungus collapse for its bats

5:44 am

crosshair

and fall rocks here as well

5:44 am

Odin

I have heard it is wonderful up your way. Friends in San Diego swear they have the best.

5:45 am

rubyfoo

Binghamton had no spring

5:45 am

rubyfoo

our fall isn't much; the forests don't have maples so they're mostly just yellow and bornw

5:46 am

torgone

San Diego is the best ..

5:46 am

rubyfoo

ooh, fungus is a phantom: I almost made a faux pas!

5:46 am

rubyfoo

San D is great except for the airport which is a hairraiser!

5:46 am

Odin

YUP TORGONE...YOU ROCK WITH WEATHER FOR SURE!

5:46 am

herinfernallady

Thanks. I think I will just rattle about all winter

5:47 am

rubyfoo

5:47 am

herinfernallady

WOOOP

5:47 am

rubyfoo

Odin

zoo does get within the best too. Your right Rub

5:48 am

torgone

and tacos

5:48 am

herinfernallady

drool

5:49 am

Odin

Fish Tacos. Odin's mouth waters uncontrollably

5:49 am

rubyfoo

the worst, but also sweetest, zoo is where my son lives, AustinTX. It is mostly rescue animals (drug dealers' lions, etc) and there are huge tortoises that just wander around.

5:49 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves Mexican food

5:50 am

herinfernallady

What the heck is it with you guys and fish tacos that sounds gross

5:50 am

Odin

One would think you could get a good fish taco in south florida, however, even with all of our seafood, we can't seem to get the good stuff like torgone can!

5:50 am

rubyfoo

I like beef tacoes with plenty of guacamole and also plenty of margueritas!!!!

5:51 am

herinfernallady

No seriously it sounds gross

5:51 am

rubyfoo

in Sou. Fla. it was lobster tails, grilled, and lovely Cuban food

5:51 am

crosshair

5:51 am

rubyfoo

(to me, too, herin)

5:51 am

Odin

Herinfer...they are the best. Fried fish in soft taco shell with the fixins. They will make your lips smack your gums for sure!

5:51 am

torgone

But we can't get a Cubano sandwich here ..

5:52 am

herinfernallady

rubyfoo

OMG crossy, I don't think I can get there in time.....

5:52 am

crosshair

fish tacos???

5:52 am

rubyfoo

5:52 am

herinfernallady

Cuban or Cubano?

5:52 am

Odin

Damn crosshair...now that sounds really hood! Send one down!

5:53 am

rubyfoo

squished down ham, cheese, sweet Cuban beread and cooked in a flat grill thingie\

5:53 am

crosshair

my brekkies are world renowned odin:)

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I think that crossie wins the "best breakfast" prize!!!!

5:54 am

Odin

I don't know about everyone else but this food chat is killin' me. I want one of everything we've discussed...anyone else?

5:54 am

rubyfoo

and now, with 26 to go, it's newspaper and siesta time

5:54 am

crosshair

you generally have to pass on lunch after one of these

5:54 am

rubyfoo

OK, to add to driving you crazy, I have an "elephant ears" pastry, aka palmier, waiting for me upstairs

5:55 am

rubyfoo

I actually weigh 350, but hide it all with smoke and mirrors

5:55 am

crosshair

crossy does not eat animal ears...lol

5:55 am

Odin

Odin is still drooling...starbucks just isn't enough.

5:56 am

crosshair

starbucks=overpriced tar

5:56 am

rubyfoo

they use the same pastry as for croissants, but make it sweet with syrup and bake it in swirls. It is so good, you could cry!

5:56 am

crosshair

my brother sends me coffee from costa rica(but he is in LV atm)

5:56 am

rubyfoo

LV?

5:57 am

crosshair

says houses are so cheap in LV ,it is like a 2 for 1 sale

5:57 am

crosshair

las vegas

5:57 am

rubyfoo

aaah

5:57 am

herinfernallady

This was my lunch today: http://tinyurl.com/4ypvkcl

5:57 am

Odin

Yeah but coffee is a main food group for me and they're everywhere. Dig Cuban coffee the most...Miami Ruby!

5:57 am

rubyfoo

and *poof*

5:58 am

rubyfoo

but they put too much sugar! here I drink a double expresso with boiled whole milk for breakfast, at least 2 food groups

5:58 am

crosshair

pretty fancy looking lunch there herin

5:58 am

Odin

We have a condo in vegas. Real estate was great like fl's and then it took a dive. Houses are dirt cheap there and here.

5:59 am

rubyfoo

miami too, from what I read

5:59 am

Odin

Good job on the food groups Ruby! 2 at a time...healthy

5:59 am

crosshair

he got a 3500 sq ft brick home 5 min from the strip 5 bdrm,3 bath for 200 k!

5:59 am

herinfernallady

That was $15 and damn tastey

6:00 am

rubyfoo

(plus a piece of whole wheat toast, lots of butter, homemade jam and a cream cheese)

6:00 am

Odin

they are a dime a dozen crosshair. People are just letting them go.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

OK, checking out herin's lunch which will probably disconnect me.....

6:19 am

torgone

It's good to have goals ..

6:19 am

I believe the alcohol buzz of torgone to be far more mischievious and than the sugar buzz....but buzzzez none the less :}

6:19 am

crosshair

goals keep one focused

6:21 am

herinfernallady

This place does a pretty decent cheap coffee. I have only had about 5 of the flavours in the 2 months at work

6:21 am

o-o

goals win hockey and soccer games

6:21 am

Odin

Mmmmmm Vodka (Odin is drooling again and it is only 7:21 a.m. ;}

6:21 am

Glantarell

I am trying to drink the European wine lake but it is defeating me as they are making it faster than I can drink it

6:21 am

herinfernallady

Well one is to not drink coke working on that well

6:22 am

Glantarell

put a copper coin or a piece of emat in coke and leave it a few hours

6:22 am

Glantarell

that should put you off

6:22 am

o-o

and use the rest of the coke to clean battery terminals

6:24 am

Odin

Don't touch the stuff myself...mmmmmm Vodka

6:25 am

Glantarell

mmm Lemon vodka

6:25 am

Glantarell

Absolut

6:26 am

herinfernallady

No it had to stop I was at drinking at least 3 litres of coffee/caffiend drinks aday

6:26 am

Odin

Atta girl...there are so many choices these days...

6:26 am

Glantarell

why is it always the 4 letter words that bug me most? fi4/7 anyone - I have the hot stuff and the one after that

6:27 am

Odin

Grape, manadarin, grapefruit, vanilla, pear you like it? They have your flavor!!! Cool Right?

6:28 am

herinfernallady

sigh

6:28 am

Odin

Herin did you not see the study that 2-6 cups a day keeps diabetes away it seems. They are stumped as to why but it seems the case. Thus main food group for me!

6:28 am

Glantarell

2-6 cups of what?

6:29 am

Odin

Coffee Chica...any kind...not sure about decaf...I believe the caf's the clue.

6:30 am

o-o

Vodka too has its good points ... just ask the Russians:

6:30 am

Glantarell

oh, need to up my intake LOL - and if you like cinnaom they recommend that a half teaspoon a day keeps diabetes away

6:30 am

Glantarell

*cinnamon

6:30 am

herinfernallady

What Coffee?

6:30 am

o-o

The average Russian consumes almost three times as much alcohol as he did 16 years ago.

6:31 am

Glantarell

sprinkle it on your coffee, add a shot of vodka - yum

6:31 am

Odin

so...I drink it because my Portugese grandfather started giving me coffee milk at age 3 and then to cuban and espresso and Mmmmmm addiction at such a young age!

6:32 am

Odin

Cinnamon is in fact good for your heart so adding a little or alot could get you a 2 for 1...diabetes and less heart disease...I can make it work out!

6:33 am

Glantarell

good job i like cinnamon

6:33 am

herinfernallady

I am so confused

6:33 am

Odin

I could also rationalize a great many of my vices...pick one I got a reason :}

6:33 am

ivesy3

tr 6/18 plz

6:34 am

Glantarell

don't have that yet ivesy

6:34 am

Odin

Herin diabetes may be staved off by coffee. They dont know why but people who drank 2-6 cups a day did not get diabetes as often as those who limited their intake.

6:35 am

o-o

tr 6/18 -- prefix for three + all's well that **d* well

6:36 am

Glantarell

TY BR

6:36 am

Odin

We are rationalizing being extreme coffeeists :} Thanks BabbleRab

6:36 am

Glantarell

6:36 am

ivesy3

ty babble!

6:36 am

o-o

the meek shall in 7 the earth

6:37 am

herinfernallady

But the thing is it is bad for your heart

6:37 am

Glantarell

TY BR

6:38 am

Glantarell

fireworks

6:39 am

o-o

A new study finds that drinking a lot of coffee, especially decaf, may help prevent diabetes.

6:39 am

Odin

That's the rub Herin. We also heard cinnamon is good for your heart so we figure we could add a little and make it better for our hearts...but alas I am only rationalizing my addiction. If I didn't have them...I would be a lot healthier, but....Mmmmmmm Vodka ;}

6:39 am

o-o

So, it is decaf

6:40 am

o-o

Congrats, Glantarell

6:40 am

Odin

Thanks BabRab for verifying. the decaf portion is not making me feel warm and fuzzy or should I say jacked and amped up!

6:41 am

o-o

The study looked at more than 28,000 post-menopausal women over an eleven-year period. They answered questions about their coffee consumption.

6:41 am

Odin

congrats Glan

6:41 am

Odin

Go Babrab!

6:42 am

Odin

What it doesn't work for us guys? Have I been bamboozled?

6:42 am

Glantarell

any clues wanted before I go and do dusting?

6:43 am

o-o

perhaps hoodwinked and hornswoggled too

6:43 am

Odin

Damn...again?

6:43 am

Glantarell

poor poor guys

6:44 am

o-o

Perhaps, coffee has a placebo effect for guys concerned about diabetes?

6:44 am

herinfernallady

Maybe I could drink Cinnamon Coffee.

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Ewww Decrap

6:45 am

cool.girl

hi everyone could i have some clues 4 the 8s please

6:46 am

Glantarell

cinnamon coffee is yummy herin

6:47 am

Odin

That's right Herin...if you add the dash of cinnamon be sure it is to high test caffeinated good stuff!

6:47 am

Black coffee .. no frills for me

6:47 am

Glantarell

6:48 am

6:48 am

herinfernallady

6:48 am

Glantarell

6:48 am

Glantarell

an7 - the substance your body makes to produce antibodies

6:48 am

herinfernallady

Glantarel Just ignore the bunner

6:48 am

herinfernallady

dust bunnies

6:49 am

cool.girl

ty

6:49 am

Glantarell

my US friend said that dust isn't a fire hazard till it gets 1/4 inch deep but my house is on the market so I hav to keep it clean

6:49 am

herinfernallady

It is over rated

6:49 am

Glantarell

because hideous husband doesn't do housework

6:50 am

Glantarell

i do as little as i can get away with LOL

6:50 am

o-o

Dust is mostly dead sk 4 that falls from bodies

6:51 am

Glantarell

i know.... and in our case bits off the dog too

6:51 am

Odin

My sister and her friends pay teenagers to do it. Cheap labor and they need the money and do a fairly good job of it I am told.

6:51 am

Glantarell

i don;t see the spider webs until they get dusty LOL so it has some uses

6:51 am

herinfernallady

Vacuum the dog

6:52 am

Glantarell

;-)

6:52 am

cool.girl

ive got an american bull terrior and he still drops hair everywhere

6:52 am

Glantarell

I would like to banish the dog and the hideous husband and then I'd ponly need to clean once a month

6:53 am

herinfernallady

I have a deaf cat I can vacuum

6:53 am

Odin

LMAO Herin!

6:53 am

Glantarell

visualising cat beig vaccuumed ;-)

6:53 am

herinfernallady

She is deaf so she doesn't hear it. It is only on low thow

6:54 am

Odin

Perhaps you could try it out and report back as to how that works for you .... visualizing it also :}

6:54 am

cool.girl

my dogs such a poof hes even scared of insects and water still wouldnt be without him

6:54 am

Glantarell

my dog is a small cypriot poodle and he drops fluffballs in spring and autumn but firtunately not single hairs

6:54 am

o-o

I am shocked no one pointed out the dust fallacy:

6:54 am

o-o

Sometimes a specific percentage of dust is said to be skin, usually about 70 or 80 percent, but unless youâ€™re a molting bird or reptile (or you work in Dr. Frankensteinâ€™s laboratory), very little of your environment is composed of dead body parts.

6:54 am

Glantarell

most of my dust is plaster dust

6:54 am

Glantarell

from the renovations - it seems to take weeks to finally all settle

6:55 am

Glantarell

what's the rest of dust BR?

6:55 am

Glantarell

fibres form clothing?

6:55 am

Odin

BabRab again hooks us up to the bare naked facts!

6:55 am

herinfernallady

We have a saying in this house. If you don't like fur on you stay off the furniture

6:55 am

o-o

Glantarell, not to make light of your situation but is there a reason you share space with a hideous?

6:56 am

o-o

There are far more common sources of dust pollutants, including animal dander, sand, insect waste, flour (in the kitchen), and of course lots of good, old-fashioned dirt.

Every time we open a window or a door, we stir up and move around tiny, airborne particles that eventually settle around the house. Humans do shed dead skin, but most of it is carried away by water when we shave or bathe, ending up not on our floors but in our sewers. Now donâ€™t you feel better?

6:56 am

Glantarell

Yes, because although I got him to move out last October, he moved back in last month saying he owns half the house and has nowhere eslse to go

6:56 am

Glantarell

which is why the house is for sale

6:56 am

Odin

Little dander, little sheet and clothing lint and little pollen...teenagers I'm telling you...cheap labor...good results.

6:57 am

Glantarell

i have moved my comfy chair to my bedroom and spend most of my time there

6:57 am

Glantarell

it is quite cosy LOL - i have my own kettle, fresh coffee, wine...

6:57 am

Deeha

I told a friend with a new composter she could empty her vacuum cleaner into it as it was mostly skin. She said that was gross and she wouldnt eat any vegetables that had had skin on them!!

6:58 am

Glantarell

I thought all vegetables had skin on them - ta da

6:58 am

herinfernallady

Hang on so she doesn't eat tomatoes?

6:58 am

Odin

LOL

6:58 am

Glantarell

I always empty my vaccuum inot the compost

6:58 am

Deeha

lol!

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Save money feed him pet food Glantarell

7:08 am

Odin

RIGHT

7:08 am

crosshair

heck,i would get my own dinner ware in your room and he can eat off of dirty plates if he does not do dishes

7:08 am

uusue2

hi, odin!

7:09 am

Odin

What's up uu? Good grid...good company this fine a.m.

7:09 am

uusue2

ha, BR, I see you have an actual flat earth in your icon, I like it!

7:10 am

crosshair

actually i would take the most important things you like in the house,move out and sue him for your cut.nobody should live like that

7:10 am

uusue2

nothing special, odin, I am just having a really tough semester, been getting killer headaches for weeks now and having trouble sleeping (maybe some cause and effect there but I'm not sure which is which)

7:10 am

Glantarell

ihave asked him to clean up but he just gets annoyed - think it must prick his conscience

7:11 am

uusue2

hope your house sells soon, glan, that sounds awful

7:11 am

periwinkle

hi all

7:11 am

Glantarell

i wish i could move out but i don't have enough dosh!

7:11 am

periwinkle

Glant, there is a difference between asking and telling

7:11 am

uusue2

hi, peri!

7:11 am

Anniebrook

hi peri

7:11 am

Glantarell

telling makes him worse!

7:12 am

periwinkle

reallly?

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Hi Peri

7:12 am

herinfernallady

O have the solution to people not cleaning up for themselves

7:13 am

Odin

Stress induced headaches are extremely common with those in college or intense training. I have a good bud that is a college prof and he sees it first hand. Meditation, relaxation, breathing excercises and my personal recommendation ...Mmmmmm Vodka!

7:13 am

uusue2

actually, glan, when my deadbeat ex (#2) tried to move back in I told him no way, just threw him out in the snow - was one of the hardest things I've ever done but if I hadn't he'd still be here

7:13 am

crosshair

mmmm...vodka....

7:13 am

Glantarell

does it involve itching powder? because I have tried leaving it - it took him 2 weeks to notice the dishes weren't being wahsed LOL

7:13 am

Odin

Yeah man!

7:13 am

uusue2

lol, odin, I don't like vodka much but have been doing a small amount of drinking, am trying to do some relaxation as well

7:13 am

Glantarell

Lemon vodka ...mmmm...

7:14 am

herinfernallady

No put dirty dishes in his bed and use disposables for yourself and pack and store the good plates

7:14 am

Glantarell

yoga and meditation are good for sleep but I listen to a reaxation CD in bed and that does the tick for me

7:14 am

crosshair

now that is a grad idea herin:))))

7:14 am

Odin

See hoe easily Babble chat comes full circle if you stay long enough! Good work cross and glan!

7:14 am

Glantarell

I packed all but 2 cups and 2 glasses for him to use and told him it was beause he didn;t clean up!

7:15 am

herinfernallady

Told a friend to do that with his flat mate and dirty wet towls

7:15 am

uusue2

hmmm, glan, I will have to try that (means getting headphones)

7:15 am

Odin

freudian slip ....see how (not hoe)

7:15 am

Glantarell

He knows I don;t want him here but has skin the thickness of rhinoceros hide

7:15 am

uusue2

glan, pack those too, you don't owe him anything

7:15 am

herinfernallady

Sue the hardest part is saying no but it is appreciated in the long term

7:16 am

Odin

If he ever leaves the house ...change the locks. Done.

7:16 am

crosshair

yes that is one solution,one set for each,1 plate,knife,fork,spoon,cup etc,and you bring your to the room when done and cleaned and he can do what he wants with his

7:16 am

uusue2

he still doesn't appreciate it, herin, but I do!!

7:16 am

Glantarell

I know I don't owe him anything - he has been sleeping around for 3 years and I have known for a year now

7:16 am

Glantarell

if i changed the locks he would break in - that I am certain of because he has told me so

7:16 am

herinfernallady

Kick him out and let one of his tarts put up with his poo

7:17 am

uusue2

then call the cops on him, glan, surely that's a crime?

7:17 am

crosshair

i would have the divorce papers within a week and the house gone in a month even if u had to lowball the thing

7:17 am

Odin

Breaking and entering here would get him arrested and you could get a trespass warrant

7:17 am

Glantarell

I did last October - straight after I found out he'd brought a tart home and had sex in my bed... and tart is right, he has discovered the swinging scene - which is why it's especially sordid and hideous

7:17 am

crosshair

i

7:17 am

herinfernallady

I wish they had USA DV Laws here

7:18 am

uusue2

(I know, easy for us to say, much harder when you are faced with the reality)

7:18 am

Glantarell

I can get an injunction to keep him out of the house but it would cost nearly Â£800 and there's no guarantee that the court would find in my favour - apparently it's whoever has most 'need' - and my income is higher than his

7:18 am

herinfernallady

Do you have AVO's in the UK?

7:19 am

crosshair

it is easy for us,but if glant can glean one or 2 good ideas from it all.then it is fine

7:19 am

Odin

Anything is possible...tell the cops he hit you.

7:19 am

uusue2

even if he's made threats, glan?

7:19 am

Glantarell

i am in the process of divorcing him but all UK divorce laws changed on April 5th and everything has gone slow while they all work out how the new system works

7:19 am

herinfernallady

I have been there done that this is why I kind of get an idea

7:19 am

uusue2

(of course, my house was in my name only which made it easier)

7:20 am

Glantarell

he's never made threats apart form telling me he'd break in if i change the locks - and legally he has every right to be here as he owns half the house

7:20 am

Glantarell

wish my house was in my name only

7:20 am

Odin

I have worked in EMS for years and have responded to women who stuck it out and ended up beaten half to death. If the situation is bad get him out...whatever it takes.

7:20 am

herinfernallady

I still say Ass\

7:21 am

suefrad625

glan, can you afford to leave?

7:21 am

herinfernallady

Odin If your Dv laws were here I think I would have been less broken

7:21 am

uusue2

lol, herin, me too (even though that looks like a typo)

7:21 am

Glantarell

he is not unpleasant towards me intentionally (apart form talking at me every time I show my face - like I am still interested in anythingto do wityh him? NOT)

7:21 am

crosshair

or just leave if it gets bad,my wife was in an abusive relationship just before we got together and no house or stuff is worth that

7:22 am

Glantarell

I could afford to leave if I knew the house was sold and I will leave as soon as somebodyp uts in an offer

7:22 am

Odin

Well spoken cross

7:22 am

suefrad625

good for you glan

7:22 am

herinfernallady

Head phones and ear plugs are good for that Glantar

7:22 am

Glantarell

if I leave before then he will sit tight, let the house get dirty, and prevent the sale - he really doens;t want to sell the house

7:22 am

suefrad625

let him buy you out if he can

7:22 am

herinfernallady

HI Sue. Hey BRab how are you?

7:23 am

crosshair

you can then sue for matrimonial assets glant

7:23 am

uusue2

hmmm - can you get the house appraised now, tell him he owes you half, then just give it to him?

7:23 am

periwinkle

hep with the an8 pls

7:23 am

crosshair

get the divorce done then court time

7:42 am

jmcnrick

we are talking about Malamuts?

8:07 am

herinfernallady

They are great dogs not family pets. My friends dog trusts me as I hve known her since she was a pup and I respect her. That is the issue you need to respect them and treat them as a pack dog.

8:08 am

herinfernallady

Malimois

Just look at all the joints."

Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer.
The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."

The last one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer.
Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline adjacent to a recreational area?"

I did, bichon, and it was scary - I did almost the same thing when I was an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke except it was a belt sander - fortunately my hair was long enough to clog and stop it before it did any damage

11:40 am

bichon

Isn't arule that you have to have your hair up. She had been involved with writing a report about lab safety at Woods Hole

11:41 am

sorry to interrupt, but sue! we have another commonality. I'm a seven sister grad too - Vassar

there was a girl from my high school who went to Vassar a year before I went to Mount Holyoke - you may know of her, her name is Meryl Streep :-)

11:49 am

I'm glad all the industrial accidents weren't critical! I myself got a giant bruise on my hip from not using the table saw correctly in a furniture making studio (M.Arch and I was 32!)

Wow, she was a schoolmate? It must be funny seeing her on screen. Lisa Kudrow and Hope Davis were both at Vassar while I was there. It's interesting to see people you know as "normal" living a public life....

11:52 am

syb215

who is hope davis?

11:53 am

she was, and it was a relatively small school (800 students) so we all pretty much knew each other, at least a little.

4:46 pm

HEY BABBLE BUDDIES! Just booted up, and got a warning from my virus program, that 2 netBot viruses that came from Babblexpert.exe were detected. I do not have Lickety's expert program, I use the r46 link recently put in the chog, but apparently that is where it is coming from. Be aware and watch for this!

5:22 pm

jesdraggon

thanks for the tr

5:23 pm

broll

And if someone knows how to contact Lickety without going through the link, he should know!

5:24 pm

MollyL

If you have decent antivirus, you should have gotten a warning that Babble Expert may be infected with a virus. I've been wondering why no one brought this up before.

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

good thing i don't use babble expert

5:28 pm

5:31 pm

Minveryork

Also use the r46 link which is the only link there is to Lickety's list I think. Just got my computer fixed due to viruses, don't need anymore. How long has it been infected? Maybe that is why my computer had viruses

5:31 pm

Minveryork

Thanks uusue2!

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm i thought i lickety's email

5:33 pm

broll

AVG is on this computer, but it missed all kinds of viruses a couple of weeks ago, which almost lost me a whole bunch of HUGE files. Now have other programs, which seem to be working.

5:33 pm

broll

Probably, Min.

5:33 pm

Minveryork

I actually think I got viruses from HotSpot and Zynga.

5:33 pm

crosshair

5:34 pm

5:34 pm

Minveryork

crosshair, do you remember when I asked you about Internet Explorer opening blank windows on its own?

5:35 pm

mrpresident

good morning all :)

5:35 pm

Minveryork

Well that was because I had spyware&viruses on the computer.So what's the difference between malware and spyware crosshair? Or are they the same thing?

5:36 pm

mrpresident

hi min, broll, crossy et al :)

5:36 pm

mrpresident

how can I help??

5:37 pm

jmcnrick

hi mr p i was just looking for lickety's email

5:38 pm

mrpresident

email address?

5:38 pm

broll

I booted up a short while ago and my antivirus program had 2 viruses listed coming from lickety's link.

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

there is apparently a virus connected with babble expert

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

my work here is done

5:38 pm

Minveryork

Can you let Lickety know that his list carries a virus?

5:38 pm

mrpresident

licketysplitaus at gmail dot com

5:38 pm

mrpresident

i sure will~!! right now

5:39 pm

jmcnrick

5:39 pm

broll

ty mrp!

5:39 pm

Minveryork

Thank your mrpresident!

5:40 pm

mrpresident

when did this start happening??

5:40 pm

Minveryork

What antivirus tells where viruses are coming from.I have never heard of that,but that's an excellent idea

5:41 pm

Minveryork

I do not know. Broll just entered chat log and told us.

5:42 pm

mrpresident

he changed the link from google pages a week ago after google pages shut down, but he hasn't changed a single thing in the program

5:42 pm

Minveryork

I think I have been using the r46 link for awhile now.

5:42 pm

jmcnrick

door

5:43 pm

broll

I don't know. I had major problems that took hours to clear up 2 weeks ago. Installed Stopzilla, which listed 2 Trojans/netBots as coming from BabbleExpert.exe, that I saw today.

5:43 pm

mrpresident

ding dong

5:44 pm

Minveryork

What's Stopzilla?Is it an antivirus program like Norton

5:44 pm

mrpresident

ok, I will ask Mark about it... email him broll... i gave you his email just a little while ago

5:45 pm

5:46 pm

crosshair

sorry back,malware is a virus that is intended to harm,damage your computer,spyware is to infiltrate and use information on your computer for third parties for ad ware and popups

5:46 pm

broll

I think so Min. My husband did all that. I wouldn't know where to begin!

5:47 pm

mrpresident

hate hate hate spyware

5:47 pm

broll

ok, will do mrp. thanks. bye all.

5:48 pm

Minveryork

Just read a review on stopzilla; was a very good one.

5:49 pm

Minveryork

Do you know if CNET site a safe site to download from

5:50 pm

mrpresident

BROLL
Stopzilla may actually think babble expert is a problem because it contains web browsers that goes to the internet and multiple sites (the clues site & babble). Just add it as a trusted application in Stopzilla. Luv, Lickety

5:51 pm

crosshair

we used to have that issue when i was admin of gamespy

5:51 pm

crosshair

so no probs

5:55 pm

crosshair

lol,we used to get people trying to play ont the servers that were behind 3 firewalls and they wondered why they were having issues....

5:55 pm

mrpresident

isn''t that clever crossy! (not)

5:56 pm

crosshair

((mrp))

5:56 pm

mrpresident

((crossy)) *crush*

5:57 pm

broll

Hmmm. ok, thanks for the info. But isn't a Trojan a really bad thing?

5:57 pm

crosshair

yup.they had zone alarm.the windows firewall and a firewall built into the router all going

5:58 pm

broll

Must run. Be back soon.

5:58 pm

car.eeyore

Hi all! Clue for fo 5 please?

5:59 pm

mrpresident

a trojan is, yes, but nothing has changed in the babble expert exe, nothing. There are plenty of links to other sites in babble expert... lickety is going to look into it, but at the moment, if you don't trust it, don't use it.

6:00 pm

uusue2

hi, mrp! Hope you and your family are doing well! (And I have had no problems with Expert, FWIW)

6:01 pm

uusue2

car., fo5 = enemy + *eadline *ews

6:01 pm

car.eeyore

Ty dahling!

6:02 pm

uusue2

:-)

6:04 pm

uusue2

ok, last two homework sheets are done. Now back to grading. Sigh.

6:05 pm

broll

Well, it is all Greek to me! (Trojan - get it?) But that's what Stopzilla said it was. Two of them.

6:07 pm

crosshair

my expert is running like a top;0

6:09 pm

crosshair

some anti viruses are set too sensitive broll,for example spy-bit will report ad-aware as a virus and visa versa,just because of the nature of the software

6:09 pm

crosshair

spy-bot*

6:09 pm

uusue2

ah yes, I remember that problem, crossy

6:10 pm

crosshair

a common one sure they do not play well together

6:10 pm

crosshair

sue*

6:10 pm

MollyL

This is just a question, not meant to start an argument...but it's not about how well Expert or any other program is running, right? It's about what downloading it brought with it into your computer. Again, just a question.

6:11 pm

crosshair

it is possible molly but since the original download came direct from lickety,doubtful

6:11 pm

crosshair

i would trust lickety with my computer anyday:)

6:11 pm

uusue2

Right, Molly. Although viruses and trojans can certainly slow down your computer, and I think there are some that only run when the infected program is running, so would show up as degraded performance.

6:12 pm

crosshair

and i always scan b4 i open any downloaded file

6:12 pm

uusue2

going home shortly, debating whether to go out tonight to student events...

6:13 pm

uusue2

yes, crossy, my virus program does that automatically

6:13 pm

crosshair

scanning individual dowmloaded files is the best first defense

6:13 pm

uusue2

I do get a warning when I open expert that it's not from a "trusted source" but I figure that's just because Microsoft doesn't know Lickety

6:14 pm

crosshair

correct sue

6:14 pm

MollyL

So no one else got a message before downloading the upgraded Expert that it may have corrupted files attached to it?

6:14 pm

crosshair

not i

6:14 pm

uusue2

not I, Molly

6:16 pm

crosshair

running it as we speak and just did a full scan

6:16 pm

crosshair

but of course i allow expert as a trusted program

6:19 pm

wb mrp:)

6:33 pm

broll

I can't do it without lickety either! (or one of the other gracious clue-posters) That's why I'm so bummed out if there's a virus.

6:33 pm

mrpresident

broll, bottom line is, if you trust lickety's exe, you can add it as a trusted source.

6:33 pm

jesdraggon

yay doxy!

6:33 pm

jesdraggon

hi mrp :)

6:33 pm

crosshair

i think you will be fine broll

6:33 pm

mrpresident

hi jes :)

6:34 pm

crosshair

just because something is labed as a problem,doews not always mean that it is

6:34 pm

bekki

need help with the an 7 and 8

6:34 pm

mrpresident

like crossy said, i would trust my computer with lickety anyday

6:34 pm

crosshair

and if you are really concered set a system restore point

6:34 pm

crosshair

great things they are

6:35 pm

crosshair

an 7 and an 8 = blood products..or blood ingedients

6:35 pm

crosshair

ingredients

6:36 pm

jesdraggon

actually, crossy, the an7 (at least the one i have) is the protein that sets off an allergic reaction.

6:37 pm

crosshair

i stand corrected

6:38 pm

bekki

got it thank you

6:40 pm

broll

I will use it when I have to, and trust the antivirus program to find and remove the stuff if it is there. It has asked before if I want to allow pop-ups and stuff, but this was an actual warning when I booted up that it had found viruses ( and a whole bunch of cookies. Mmmmmm. cookies.)

6:43 pm

crosshair

use c cleaner it is a nice free program to remove temp files and cookies

6:43 pm

crosshair

www.priform.com

6:43 pm

crosshair

i give my girl a d+ c at least once every 2 weeks with it;)

6:44 pm

mrpresident

In computer terminology, a cookie is a "small text file which contains a unique ID tag, placed on your computer by a website". Essentially, it enables a website that you have already visited to recognise you when you return.

6:45 pm

crosshair

but too many cookies = a upset computer tummy so keep thyem neat and keep them current

6:45 pm

broll

Stopzilla does it. I don't want to put any more stuff on this computer. I get a message that it's running out of virtual memory every once in a while. Just like me!

6:46 pm

crosshair

you done a disk clean and defrag recently broll?

6:46 pm

mrpresident

that is why you need to clean out your cookies!

6:46 pm

crosshair

undeed mrp

6:46 pm

crosshair

indeed*

6:46 pm

broll

Huh?

6:47 pm

crosshair

defrag...

6:47 pm

broll

You are talking to a technophobe here.

6:47 pm

crosshair

uh oh...

6:47 pm

mrpresident

clean out your cookies broll

6:47 pm

uusue2

home but dinner is on its way -

6:47 pm

mrpresident

defrag your puter

6:47 pm

broll

Done.

6:48 pm

broll

And I ate some chocolate chips for good measure.

6:49 pm

crosshair

temp files and cookies once every 2 weeks,disk clean and defrag once a month,ad-aware and virus check once a week

6:49 pm

mrpresident

remove temp files, they take up too much space

6:50 pm

broll

Speaking of temporary files, they keep being created occasionally lately when I am working in Excel. I just delete them. But I haven't a clue where they come from in the first place!

6:50 pm

crosshair

and do not forget about file compression

6:50 pm

mrpresident

ah, file compression

6:51 pm

crosshair

and move any big storage or game files to d drive if your drive is partitioned

6:52 pm

mrpresident

Most types of computer files are fairly redundant -- they have the same information listed over and over again. File-compression programs simply get rid of the redundancy. Instead of listing a piece of information over and over again, a file-compression program lists that information once and then refers back to it whenever it appears in the original program.

6:53 pm

mrpresident

I like to zip stuff too

6:53 pm

crosshair

i once made a custom computer for a person and i set up a refurbished 10 gig hard drive and a secondary terra new drive on it.used the ten gig (c drive) just for the os and the terra drive for everything else..was fast as all heck!!

6:53 pm

broll

Oh yeah, riiiiiight. I am writing all this down. (not!) The antivirus programs run automatically, I think every day. This is my blank look face about all that other stuff.

6:54 pm

mrpresident

broll, do you know someone computer savvy that you could invite over for a little drinkiepoo and ask them to do these little things we have mentioned??

6:54 pm

crosshair

lol..poor broll...

Broll, it's okay. Most people don't understand the computerspeak that is going on here. It's like being in a room full of people speaking a foreign language. And just for the record, be very careful about "recommended sites" from anyone. Unless you know them, and trust them, you have no idea why they are "recommending" them in the first place.

7:03 pm

crosshair

np broll just trying to help you a bit

7:03 pm

broll

But I will ask him about all this stuff. Especially putting the big files on D drive.

7:04 pm

MollyL

My comment was not directed at anyone here. It was an in general comment. I do part time work for a guy who cleans people's computers up for a living. The number one reason they give for downloading infected programs is "So and so recommended it."

7:04 pm

crosshair

yup,windows runs much better when it is not all wedged in with everything else

7:04 pm

crosshair

and ask your son about c cleaner he will reccomend it i am sure

7:05 pm

MollyL

The number two reason he finds that computers get infected? People actually click on links in emails that come from unknown sources. Yes, they really do.

7:05 pm

crosshair

plus it is good for registry cleaning

7:05 pm

crosshair

thats why you always type an addy direct into your browser

7:06 pm

crosshair

links can and often are diverted

7:06 pm

Well, tv program is on. Thanks for all the input, peoples. I never open stuff from e-mails, Molly. In fact, I never open e-mails that I don't know who they are!

Although it does not take a ge 6/27 to finish the grid here is a story of clues to si4/7 through for anybody who does not think the grid is so fi4/7 and easy.I did not in7/32 my parents intelligence so I for one didn't think it was easy. When I called upon monkeys, they were playing up in the pine tr4/4s. They st4/4red up trouble right away.Monkeys shook their fi4/7s at me and refused to help. I said to them, "no sk 4/8 off my back! You're fi4/7ed! You guys are un5/18 to do this job anyway!" and they were fr 4/7 to go. They were delighted and ran off to go play in a si 4/8. I think I'll ask for new monkeys for my next birthday gi4/6. My Hubby wants computer. If I do not give hubby laptop he will ra 4/4 and rave and a st 6/27 will en 5/12. He ra5/10 every time I babble.Babble and Farmville have caused some ri 5/16 between us. Anyway, I hope you got the gi 4/6 of most of my clues.I'm ti4/4d so won't be back until tomorrow sometime.Goodnight babblers

7:54 pm

GreyWoulf

7:54 pm

mrpresident

GreyWoulf

Thanks -- it is exciting, exhilarating, and terrifying all at once

7:55 pm

mrpresident

all the things that make life worth living!

7:57 pm

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

i didn't list until i had only about 25 left, and i usually list half way

8:42 pm

GreyWoulf

and now I am back, stid -- just had to get the kids tucked in

oops. sorry, was printing lesson plans! (((hugs WOULF)))

8:46 pm

stidmama

I have some writing I must do, too, but will sit and visit a spell

8:47 pm

lbdawger

sos, woulfie. read that you're creating jobs! that's great!

8:47 pm

stidmama

LBD, I had to SCRAPE the ice off my car windows this morning... *sigh* where is my SPRING?? *stomps foots angrily*

8:47 pm

stidgmere

Hi stidmama. Just finishing the grid. Did you already do it?

8:47 pm

lbdawger

hi jes

8:47 pm

GreyWoulf

8:47 pm

stidmama

hello Mother, just looking at it now.

8:47 pm

lbdawger

8:48 pm

lbdawger

hi stidgmere!

8:48 pm

stidmama

Can you call in a little bit, Mother? I have a question to ask.

8:48 pm

stidgmere

I dawger.

8:48 pm

stidmama

not coming from MOI, non, non, non!

8:48 pm

GreyWoulf

well, sorta, lbd -- my boss realized a while back that there was a market for used equipment that was being overlooked by our corporate HQ

8:48 pm

stidgmere

Just fried the works! A strange an word to finish up.

8:49 pm

stidmama

YAY MOTHER!!!!

8:49 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hoooooo STIDGMERE!!

8:49 pm

lbdawger

shows your initiative, Woulfie!

8:49 pm

stidgmere

Dawger, not bragging but amazed to finish three grids in a row!! I think it is an all-time record for me.

8:49 pm

stidgmere

Yes, I will call at 7 o'clock mama.

8:49 pm

GreyWoulf

to that end, we have been working together to produce the data needed to justify creating a new position which has the sole responsibility for acquiring, selling, and renting said used equipment throughout our companys NE area

8:50 pm

lbdawger

AWESOME! Stidgmere. retirement is suiting you well!

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

That area covers 5 service centers from PA to Me

8:50 pm

stidmama

hm... are you in line for this position, Woulf?

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyyy for stidgmere!!

8:50 pm

stidmama

thank you Mother, will try to find a phone before then!

8:50 pm

stidgmere

Are you going to be heading that new endeavor Greywoof?

8:51 pm

stidmama

GMTA, Mother!

8:51 pm

stidgmere

I think I am so lucky to have retirement, dawger. So many people work very hard and never get to retire.

8:52 pm

GreyWoulf

stidgmere -- I AM the new endeavor -- it is awe inspiring that currently I am developing and setting policy that could literally transform how my company does business

8:52 pm

stidgmere

What is GMTA?

8:52 pm

stidmama

*proud friend-mama look*

8:52 pm

stidmama

Great Minds Think Alike *readjusts Mother's tiara*

8:52 pm

stidgmere

Ah, well, that is a wonderfully enterprising coup for you.

8:52 pm

lbdawger

that is really great news, Woulfie! job security?

8:53 pm

GreyWoulf

the official title for the position is "Reconditioned Sales & Rental Specialist" and it went active Apr 1st

8:53 pm

lbdawger

are you still with the bookstore, Woulf?

8:54 pm

GreyWoulf

for the moment, lbd -- it is as stable as anything can be in todays roller coaster economy

8:54 pm

stidmama

okay, I am needing ONE tile for NBT and MUST get back to pretending to care about the hoops for this grad school thingy. the E in the fourth row down, far right please?

8:55 pm

stidgmere

Is it the en word? en and a boy named ***.

8:55 pm

lbdawger

en5.12 en + girls name

8:55 pm

GreyWoulf

no -- I haven't been with a book store in years -- the company I work for is called Enersys -- one of the largest manufacturers of forklift batteries and chargers globally

8:55 pm

stidmama

that was it! thanks Mother! going to find that phone... (((hugs WOULF))) I miss seeing you.

**tosses choclits to all lovely babblers**

*poof*

8:56 pm

lbdawger

wonderful! sounds like a fairly solid (as jobs go) job!

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

bye, stidmama -- see you again soonish

8:56 pm

stidgmere

Forklifts sound like a far distance from a bookstore. Who would think about the batteries and chargers needed for that equipment? Not me.

8:56 pm

lbdawger

bye, Stiddy

8:56 pm

lbdawger

ahh, those who use them, Stidgmere! LOL

8:57 pm

stidgmere

All for me now. Need to phone mama and answer a question (I hope I know the answer.)

8:57 pm

lbdawger

although, I wish I had a forklift at work! beats the hand truck i get to use.

8:57 pm

GreyWoulf

it definitely is not boring at this time. Thats for sure!
Unfortunately, it is also a time suck and energy drainer -- 45-50 hour weeks have become the norm

8:57 pm

lbdawger

tell her the answer is C

8:58 pm

lbdawger

long hours, but you're used to that from just being a daddy!

8:59 pm

lbdawger

and it's pillow time for me. early rising tomorrow. see ya'll. Woulfie come back more oftener!

8:59 pm

GreyWoulf

too true -- but now the kids don't get to see me as much -- part of why they were going to bed at 9:30 instead of already asleep.... and they are still talking to each other even now!

9:00 pm

GreyWoulf

have a good nite, lbd -- I promise I will work to do better -- these several month breaks are killing me -- I barely know anyone anymore :(

9:00 pm

lbdawger

stidmama

how are you jmc? I am going to start grumbling about "hoops" again... *fair warning duly given, proceeds to explain* I just realized I didn't completely understand or implement some of the requirements for an essential component of this quarter *sigh*

11:42 pm

stidmama

But, for today I am in a holding pattern that demonstrates (I hope) enough intent to comply that it will be okay. I think...

11:43 pm

jmcnrick

you have to shoot baskets?

11:44 pm

stidmama

I would do BETTER at that! LOL no, it has to do with the written component for the "positive impact" piece for my student teaching.

11:44 pm

gremlinn
