1:42 am

flosey

yes, makes it much easier cos (I think) clued it as fo* + so5

1:44 am

jillibus

oh, I see -- thks. I didn't see that clue -- got started too late.

1:44 am

flosey

yes, you came in a bit later

1:46 am

jillibus

had to check mail and email (weird things had happened to it on the desktop too) and then Babble on laptop , then desktop, restart, etc etc.

1:48 am

flosey

I was having a problem this morning - couldn't open email so called Shaw tech, waited long time, but when I got through, was told it wasn't something they do (only internet stuff, but he very sweetly walked me through it

1:49 am

jillibus

I did talk to the people who sold me the desktop this afternoon and they said I should do a security scan right away (I hadn't realised it was needed) -- I did, and they found a Trojan which was removed. Maybe that's what was causing the troubles.

1:49 am

flosey

oh, lucky to find that nasty

1:49 am

jillibus

that's great, flosey.

1:51 am

flosey

he said that I should have called a local techie but I guess since I got hold of him, he felt sorry for the LOL (term we used ages ago referring to Little Old Ladies, in bridge)

1:52 am

jillibus

Well, we'll see what happens next time I try to change icons and Lickety posts a list. I brought them up on the laptop first, thinking maybe the desktop needed a nudge from the network.

1:53 am

jillibus

Nice that he is a good human being.

1:53 am

flosey

One thing we really must do is get separate email addresses!!

1:53 am

flosey

yes, I thanked him profusely

1:54 am

jillibus

that sounds like a good idea

1:55 am

jillibus

I mean the separate email addresses

1:55 am

flosey

yes, we have well over 3000 going back as far as 2006!

1:55 am

flosey

yes

1:55 am

flosey

understood

1:56 am

flosey

whew! finished the ts

1:58 am

flosey

not getting st6

1:58 am

jillibus

I'm now at the ro words

1:59 am

flosey

I'm going back up and filling in blanks

1:59 am

jillibus

you're way ahead of me

2:09 am

flosey

went out and couldn't get back in!, got the message from Dr.G. about temper tantrum

2:09 am

jillibus

I got a red box -- just the hiccup

2:10 am

jillibus

Did you and Geo win at bridge?

2:10 am

flosey

don't know the rest of the scores Jilli - just know we beat P&P

2:10 am

flosey

Paul and I were comparing scores

2:11 am

jillibus

Ah -- very satisfactory!

2:11 am

flosey

yes, always nice to beat them!

2:11 am

flosey

and they both take it in good fun

2:11 am

jillibus

Yes indeed!

2:12 am

jillibus

That's a releif.

2:12 am

jillibus

*relief

2:13 am

flosey

yes, I believe Paul is sincerely happy to see anyone beat him

2:13 am

jillibus

He's a good sport -- really nice guy.

2:14 am

flosey

Prem too, I just know Paul better - and yes, he'd do anything for you

2:14 am

flosey

in spite of how busy he keeps himself

2:14 am

flosey

do you have sa5/14, I can't get it

2:15 am

jillibus

Prem seems to be warming up.

2:15 am

flosey

yes, I think so too

2:15 am

flosey

poor fellow, has such a time hearing

2:16 am

jillibus

Is that it? He's a bit deaf???? Never knew!

2:16 am

flosey

yes

2:17 am

flosey

I think sometimes he just smiles rather than say he hasn't heard

2:17 am

jillibus

I haven't got that sa5/14 either

2:17 am

dizgrannie

sa 5 = not happy + not she

2:18 am

flosey

2:18 am

jillibus

2:18 am

flosey

yes, yes, thanks

2:18 am

dizgrannie

yw...took me awhile and suddenly thought ITS BEEN HERE BEFORE...lol

2:19 am

rubyfoo

good morning! It's funny to look at a grid and see a bunch of words laid out in order. This smacks of a trap, cleverly designed! lol

2:19 am

jillibus

hi ruby!

2:20 am

flosey

hi ruby, sorry I missed seeing you on your b'day, hope it was a good one - I had a big happy b'day icon for you

2:20 am

jillibus

yes, diz, I remember the unhappy guy now ;-)

2:21 am

rubyfoo

hello flosey and thank you. I'm sorry I missed the special icon -- maybe next year!

2:21 am

flosey

and my last, st6/21 - monkeying like crazy

2:22 am

jillibus

what did you do for your b'day, ruby?

2:24 am

flosey

well,, finally, and I know I've typed it in earlier - maybe mistyped it!

2:24 am

flosey

Fireworks

2:24 am

rubyfoo

it was surprisingly lovely: husband was a prince, startingf the day before: perfume, flowers, a new bird book and then, on Sunday, lunch out in my one-a-year special place, right on the lake - www.perebise.com (or something like that).

2:25 am

flosey

how lovely ruby

2:25 am

jillibus

YAY flosey the fabulous!

2:25 am

jillibus

that sound dreamy, ruby!

2:25 am

flosey

well!! ty jilli

2:26 am

rubyfoo

yay for flosey! I got one of my few finishes last night with FM and Crossy carrying me across, as always

2:26 am

rubyfoo

when he wants to be nice, he can be, that's for sure!

2:27 am

flosey

WOW, ruby, what a gorgeous place

2:27 am

flosey

just checked it out

2:27 am

jillibus

went to the website, ruby -- what a wonderful place!

2:28 am

jillibus

I just wish they posted the menu -- what did you have?

2:28 am

rubyfoo

it is the only really good restaurant around here

2:30 am

rubyfoo

in places, like theat, the best things are the "estras" that they serve between courses, but I had various hors d-oeuvres, snails, steak with artichoke and mushrooms, various deserts (tiny ones that they just bring) and a lovely St. Emilion.

2:32 am

rubyfoo

sorry for all those typos, I couldn't get back in after I typed it

2:32 am

flosey

they do show the Easter weekend menu jilli - in french of course

2:32 am

rubyfoo

phantom: dastard

2:33 am

jillibus

Reminds me of one near here (near Sidney, BC) -- http://www.deepcovechalet.com/

2:33 am

rubyfoo

the only thing that I don't like is that they give the menu with prices only to the man!

2:34 am

rubyfoo

I'm looking it up, but after I take a break. If I do it now, for some reason, I'll have to re-boot!

2:34 am

jillibus

Must go back and look at that menu...oh yes, ruby, I think that's very au courant in the top spots

2:34 am

flosey

that's a nice one too, jilli, we've never been - yet!

2:35 am

rubyfoo

what if it's a biz lunch and the woman is paying?

2:35 am

flosey

perhaps you have to warn them ahead of time, ruby??

2:37 am

rubyfoo

you're right, that's what I used to do when I was working -- retirement makes me forget those niceties!

2:37 am

flosey

ah, but it is so nice to be retired!!

2:38 am

jillibus

I still can't find the Easter menu.

2:38 am

rubyfoo

it's hard to imagine having time to work!

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I loved my job, though.

2:39 am

flosey

I remember when a friend of ours became Vice Pres. of the company, he took 4 couples out to a fancy dinner and he was the only one who had the price list

2:39 am

jillibus

that's so true, ruby!

2:40 am

rubyfoo

that is too funny! I was in a totally male industry, and I became adept at getting the check. When husband's friends come to visit, they are always terrible at trying to pay. Maybe they just don't want to.

2:40 am

flosey

scroll down on the front page jilli - small print on right hand side "Easter Sunday menu Link"

2:41 am

jillibus

I'll do that, flosey -- and I finally got that fo8, lol!

2:42 am

flosey

good!

2:43 am

flosey

oh, and ruby, you should have seen Jilli's icon

2:43 am

rubyfoo

ahd did you make, jilli?

2:43 am

rubyfoo

I can't even change mind, even though everybody has given me directions. I think all my photos are too large

2:44 am

rubyfoo

mine*

2:44 am

rubyfoo

ahd was supposed to be what*

2:45 am

jillibus

ruby -- I told you -- it was Ruby Foo's in Mtl, and you said you used to be taken to the one in NYC as a kid.

2:46 am

jean1953

Good morning everyone:) am at work again taking a sneaky preview of the grid lol

2:46 am

jillibus

and I saw the Easter menu -- quite a price!

2:46 am

rubyfoo

ah, I saw the note but not the picture! that is so funny; I wonder if they are related to the one in NY

2:46 am

jillibus

hi jean

2:46 am

rubyfoo

There was another Chinese/European restaurant right near Ruby Foo;s, called Bill Wong's, also upscale. We used to call it Will Bongs before that had any other meaning.

3:00 am

rubyfoo

I have such lag that I can't see what I'm typing, hence the typos! but that looks like a great restaurant!

3:00 am

3:02 am

rubyfoo

BC must be fabulous from everything I read about it

3:02 am

jillibus

well, of course we have wonderful seafood here -- but no local lobster. I guess what they offer is flown in from the East.

3:03 am

jillibus

We like BC ;-)

3:04 am

I shudder to think where our seafood comes from, but it's never fresh enough

10:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

The camel joke made this month's Atlantic Monthly!

10:15 am

uusue2

cool!

10:15 am

uusue2

How did that happen?

10:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

No, really!

10:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

There was an article about a nun, I think from Kentucky, whose family name was Schmuck.

10:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

And she went North, and people thought she was kidding. No one in her home town had never heard the term.

10:17 am

uusue2

pretty funny :-)

10:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

So she went about trying to reclaim the name Schmuck as an honorable one.

10:17 am

uusue2

good luck with that!

10:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

I should look for the article on line- it was a hoot.

10:19 am

10:31 am

still having a hard time here, headaches continue. Probably stress. Am waiting until the end of the semester; if they don't go away after that I will go back to the dr and complain.

10:31 am

i am going to make a macro with the top 100 regilar players in it and we can all just copy and paste it when we enter the room in the morning lol

10:32 am

drinking lots of fluids sue?

10:32 am

Sue, ever thought about something alternative, like accupressure?

10:32 am

uusue2

tea, mostly

10:32 am

crosshair

drink more water

10:32 am

uusue2

had blood tests and an mri, no obvious problems

10:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am having hip pain...eating lots of motrin. I aggravated it at the gym probably.

10:33 am

uusue2

probably massage would be nice but $$$ and time intervene, molly

10:33 am

MollyL

Kap, how does your hip respond to gentle stretching?

10:33 am

uusue2

ah, the gym - I remember such places -

10:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have missed the stretch class because I have been doing Zumba. Probably not a good idea.

10:35 am

uusue2

lol, kap, I don't think they're exactly equivalent :-)

10:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

No, but I really like Zumba.

10:36 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have a hard time admitting these limitations- I do 5 gym classes a week. Probably killing me.

10:36 am

MollyL

Sue, if you do a search on head massage, you can find a few things you can do on your own. A few sets of deep breathing during the day will increase your oxygen, which is helpful to some with headaches.

10:36 am

crosshair

you will be the healthiest body in the grave yard lol

10:37 am

uusue2

wow, kap, you must be in pretty good shape!

10:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

Or you can do what I've done. My hip makes me forget my headaches.

10:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

Toned--and de4.

10:37 am

uusue2

molly, i will check that out, thanks. Had problems with headaches before too, turned out to be a combination of neck problems and depression.

10:37 am

uusue2

There you go, kap. Maybe I will hit my toe with a hammer.

10:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have that too sue.

10:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

Decrepitude.

10:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

oh, by the way--PB for Sue and me and everybody who discussed the he4.

10:38 am

uusue2

indeed. upcoming birthday (end of next month) isn't helping either...

10:38 am

uusue2

oh, right. oh well :-)

10:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Molly- PB.

10:39 am

inge

I have daily hip pains. Rubbing in Capsaicin does wonders. Painfree for at least 4 hours. Wash your nands well afterwards.

10:39 am

uusue2

perhaps there is something medicinal in there, like whiskey :-)

10:39 am

MollyL

For the neck problems, you will need to ask for your guy's help. Some deep neck massage can be very helpful for neck pain, headache and depression. Hope you find some relief soon.

10:39 am

uusue2

hi, inge - yes, and be really careful about getting the stuff in your eyes!

10:40 am

uusue2

thanks, molly, will look into it. Need someone who is pretty careful as I already have 3 vertebrae fused in my neck (thanks to an accident during my misspent youth)

10:40 am

MollyL

Whee! There is matzah, bitter herbs, boiled eggs and Mogan David in the PB!!!

10:40 am

*Wonders why there are no Passover treats*

Oh well. At least there is lamb's blood on the door. Pass on over, Angel of Death.

Ah yes, diabetics too.

11:05 am

crosshair

crossy had a western omelette with green peppers,onions,smoked ham bits fried in butter and laid upon crunchy texas toast

11:05 am

I decided that although Greek yogurt is much more expensive that the benefits outweigh the cost.

11:05 am

Minveryork

Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today

11:05 am

Ditto Scrabs. I like Fage the best. I get a large container at Costco

11:06 am

crosshair

err....well....not that i have been tested yet....errm....no

11:06 am

Scrabbler

I have not seen Fage at our Walmart but I think Wegman's has it. I would love a quart or gallon supply rather than a pint.

11:07 am

bichon

I Was speaking with my physica yesterday and he told me his 3 and 1/2 old grandson was just diagnosed with diabetes

11:07 am

bichon

Do you go to Costco Scrabs. They definitely have a large container there

11:07 am

crosshair

if scrabbs got ahold of me,she would have a field day with lipid tests,blood tests,colesterol tests and stress tests and testing for sugar or lack of it

11:07 am

Scrabbler

That sucks, Bichon.

11:08 am

Scrabbler

No Costco here. We have a Sam's CLub and BJ's in the Buffalo area.

11:08 am

bichon

You bet it does. Not only the difficulties with a child of that age, but the wherewithal outside of the home. Nursery school, friends houses, school

11:08 am

bichon

BJ's has Chobani. It's okay, but not as good as Fage

11:09 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, you are a cancer survivor so I permit you to live your live as you choose. Your lease has been extended a few times!

Crossy, as long as she doesn't do a bacon test, you wil be fine.

11:09 am

Scrabbler

And within 15-20 yrs after diagnosis of DM type I there are changes in the kidneys and retinas.

11:09 am

bichon

My diabetes has been easy to manage for the last 17 years, Metformin, diet, exercise

11:10 am

crosshair

lol wht,i would be busted with just the lipid test

11:10 am

Scrabbler

Serum bacon level--now there's a test that should be created.

11:10 am

bichon

Is that true Scrabs if your HbA1C is under 7 consistantly

11:11 am

crosshair

actually i have cut my bacon consumption down 70% and we have just swiched to a low salt brand

11:11 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, glucose control is not enough. Inflammation of blood vessels occurs.

11:12 am

bichon

Yikes, is there anything I can do to help, besides what I have been doing?

11:12 am

11:14 am

sadie52

hya cross and Scrabbler :)

11:15 am

uusue2

Yes, I presume diabetes in a child that young would almost certainly be type I although I understand that rates of type 2 are increasing in children (but mostly older children, I think)

11:15 am

bichon

I think a kids that little would be active enough not to have Type II

11:17 am

Scrabbler

Type I DM in kids is usually autoimmune, perhaps genetically predisposed and perhaps triggered by a viral illness.

11:18 am

Scrabbler

Type II DM is skyrocketing due to the childhood obesity epidemic.

11:18 am

bichon

So if a kids gets a bad virus, like the flu, that could trigger it? How scary

11:18 am

Hello Scrabbler!

11:24 am

bichon

I can believe that Scrabs. But I have three fussy eaters. But they are not fussy eaters when it comes to junk food

11:25 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, many parents do not care about nutrition for themselves or their kids and allow their kids to suck down soda pop, juice all day and eat bad snacks, have fast food frequently, etc

11:26 am

Scrabbler

Childhood obesity if a family problem and is very hard to fix if parents have no interest to change the family's behaviors.

3:27 pm

Minveryork

The da 4/5 today is April 29, 2011 and here is a story for all of my de 4/5 Babble friends to so 4/4 through. I ar 5/10 out of bed,I got up on my fe4/7 and walked right into the office to babble. It took me ae 5/10 to finish. Grid was hard and I was unable to babble with ea 4/4. It actually gave me a he4/6ache and I had to take some aspirin to so6/21 it. I would ra6/12r have finished on my own,but I sent for my monkeys to help with the last 10 words. They were playing very loudly on my fr5/16 porch. I told my monkeys to be qu5/16, but they got even louder.Then I told them they could ea4/4 some bananas & to5/10 to sa4/4 their hunger They sn 5/10ed at me and te 6/21 me. Their ro5/10n behavior angered me so much I just wanted to te4/4 their arms from their to 5/10s. Nobody ever te5/10s me and gets away with it! I really need to tr 5/12 my monkeys in for some new ones.Anyway, I told them if they did not come inside, I would drag them inside by their ea4/4. Monkeys qu 7/44 down and he 4/6ed my warning and ran in & helped me finish. After I sa5/12 their hunger with bananas they tr 7/32 off down the ro 4/5. Da4/5! Hubby is being an ar4/4. I can he 4/5 him making smart reto5/10 about my addiction as he he 5/12 me typing away. If I don't give him computer he will go through the ro4/7 and we will get into a he 4/5ed argument.I wish that he would qu4/7 Farmville I find it qu 5/16 annoying how much he hates Babble, but sees nothing wrong w/Farmville addiction.At any ra 4/4, our game addictions are the ro4/4 of most of our problems. Although I love him with all my he 5/12, he drives me nuts sometimes! I'm going to get out of this se 4/4 and go watch "De 5/14 of a Salesman" on the so 4/7. I will be back later to help out with clues.

If a deal is too good to be true, ...... We were supposed to get a new stove tonight. I think it was a bait and switch. They called and said 1 of the burners couldn't be converted from natural gas to LP. Really! 1 burner is diff. from the rest? He said "We have other stoves, we could deliver." They of course would be several hundred more. Creep.

3:50 pm

7:54 pm

jesdraggon

i think it would be necessary to form an organization and donate money or buy stock in the org, then the org buys the property, rather than having a property co-owned by 100 different people.

7:54 pm

7:59 pm

Jacula

Crossy - have you ever tasted Welsh lamb? It's fantabulous!

8:00 pm

Glantarell

Welsh dry cure bacon is divine! And bacon and mushroom sandwiches are wonderfu

8:00 pm

stidgmere

Speaking of bacon, I need to start our supper. Do carry on but keep me in the loop.

Angela

8:21 pm

crosshair

:)

8:22 pm

MollyL

Kathleen Turner

8:22 pm

crosshair

that would be her

8:22 pm

Jacula

'Micheal' instead of 'Michael' is one of the most common typos, as is beginning a business letter 'Dead Sir'.

8:23 pm

uusue2

Jac, I love your icon!

8:23 pm

crosshair

good thing i do not give a rats tickus about typos lol since i cannot type anyways

8:23 pm

Jacula

uusue - thanks!

8:23 pm

MollyL

"Dead Sir" is my favorite typo

8:24 pm

crosshair

i do not care if it is typed in igpay antentay as long as i can decipher it

8:24 pm

crosshair

pig latin that is

8:25 pm

Jacula

The other thing that my typists used to slip up on (in the old days when you typed and used carbon paper for copies) ws the word 'account', which we typed a lot. It would often end up as 'acoCUNT'. I've no idea why it always ended up spelled wrongly with the rude part in upper case, but it did!

8:25 pm

Jacula

Crossy - my ex-M_I_L speaks pig Latin.

8:26 pm

Jacula

I see the same thing on Babble sometimes, if a rude word is to be found it gets put in the chog and in upper case.

8:27 pm

MollyL

Jac, it's been my unfortunate experience that even with the event of spell check, people just keep on ignoring the red squiggly line. Especially on business related documents.

8:29 pm

wordfind

fo6/27 clue pls?

8:29 pm

Jacula

Molly - 'in my day' spell check didn't exist! We'd only just got electronic typewriters by the 80s, despite working for a computer company. I, as supervisor, was the grammar, punctuation and spell- checker. LOL

8:30 pm

Jacula

wordfind - fo6.27 - a nasty smell.

8:31 pm

Jacula

.. or, try 'emeny' + 'rocky promontary' for fo6, if the other clue doesn't work.

8:33 pm

wordfind

never saw that spelling for that word!

8:33 pm

wordfind

fireworks

8:33 pm

wordfind

thx jac

8:33 pm

Jacula

Speaking of spell-checks, I should have typed 'enemy'. LOL

8:33 pm

Jacula

y/w, wordfind.

8:35 pm

Jacula

My favourite grid word today was fo8/60. Old English word for indeed or 'in truth'. I'd like to see it in use again today.

What is NBT? The initials suddenly appeared and i seen no clue to their meaning.

9:28 pm

9:29 pm

Pinikula

(NBS = no blank stats [meaning you have at least one word from each of the tile lengths [[below the word list]])

9:38 pm

Poirot

Okay ...now I'm curious, and have to ask ... how is NBS different from NBT .. you lost me with that explanation Pini

9:39 pm

Pinikula

NBT relates to the stat section below the grid, NBS relates to the section below the word list

9:39 pm

Poirot

Okay .. I see now.

9:40 pm

Pinikula

* smile *

9:40 pm
