wow.. you keep a busier schedule than all of us
12:29 am
jillibus
well, I don't do mornings, sot the afternoons are crammed
12:29 am
rururocks
mrs. ru doesn't do mornings either..lol
12:30 am
jillibus
felt a bit sad today, though, after discovering all the family were gathered at my son's and I wasn't invited.
12:31 am
vashongin
i'm so sorry jilli
12:31 am
joey
Jillibus, I am sorry, I would feel badly about it too.
12:31 am
jillibus
not only family, but pals of grandson's too.
12:31 am
rururocks
that's awful.. why does your dil treat you this way?
12:33 am
flosey
that is dreadful, jilli - cannot believe your son wouldn't have some say in the matter
12:34 am
jillibus
she has her problems these days, ruru -- a brother dying of lung cancer in the Montreal area, and her job to do in Mission, BC, putting on the Merchant of Venice at her school, etc. But I sent them all Easter e-cards -- only my son bothered to open his.
12:34 am
rururocks
that is very hurtful.. how cruel
12:34 am
flosey
that is indeed cruel
12:35 am
jillibus
I'm afraid I do feel hurt.
12:35 am
flosey
the fact that she has so much going on, didn't mean the kids couldn't bring friends??
12:35 am
rururocks
you should.. she's out of liine
12:35 am
flosey
I would feel very hurt, jilli
12:36 am
rururocks
it isn't like you have tried to make amends
12:36 am
rururocks
she's out of line I menat
12:36 am
rururocks
I can't type tonight
12:36 am
jillibus
Flosey -- my grandson (her son) DID bring friends. I'm the only one left out.
12:37 am
flosey
just absolutely rude
12:37 am
dizgrannie
wow, just got a YA 8
12:38 am
jillibus
Well, shrug, not much I can do about it. I did send my son an email though, telling him how I felt.
12:38 am
flosey
and so you should, jilli, he has to know
12:39 am
jillibus
Enough, now. Back to my Babble buddies who are always supportive -- thanks.
12:39 am
flosey
not finding this one easy
12:39 am
rururocks
that's good.. he needs to let you know what the problem is.. she is a bit whacked to keep you away .. she must be competitive with you in some way
12:40 am
cybernan
crashing -- last few tomorrow...poof
12:41 am
flosey
goodnight nan
12:42 am
rururocks
or she feels you judge her in some way...
12:42 am
rururocks
doren would help.. she'd understand jilli... you should ask her.
12:42 am
jillibus
ruru, I don't think it's just her -- I think both of them are so self-involved with their own lives they just don't think about the boring old lady. They may have thought I would need to be met at the ferry again as in the dark Christmas days, but now that it's daylight saving I can drive myself there. It's not exactly next door, you know.
12:44 am
jillibus
Anyway, they just can't be bothered. AsI said, enough, now.
12:44 am
rururocks
that doesn't speak well for either of them.. you should be a very important part of their lives especially right now.. I'm sorry jilli.. some people are just self-absorbed and narcissitic
12:45 am
rururocks
*big easter hugs for jilli* I'm glad you are here
12:45 am
jillibus
Thank you, ruru -- hugs back.

ooo -- a lover -- who?
12:46 am

If it is any consolation jilli.. I haven't seen my family for 25 years.. all Easters are just us two.

12:51 am
flosey
googled it, thanks
12:51 am
jillibus
Yes, ruru, I know you've been estranged from your family, which is so sad. At least you have each other now.
The thing I don't understand about my situation is that we've been getting along fine and I've so enjoyed my son's visits here and our Christmas get-togethers. It's just the thoughtlessness just now that hurts, and the message that my son has just been too busy to be bothered. But his "busy" is totally unprofitable -- he has no steady income and they have a mountain of debt. I have had to help them out quite often.
12:52 am
jillibus
But ENOUGH! No more whining from here!
12:53 am
flosey
oh jilli, behave like that and still expect help from you!
12:54 am

I've already decided to do that, ruru.
1:01 am
rururocks
good.. that's the sensible thing to do.
1:02 am
rururocks

1:03 am

4:25 am
Snoopycat
I may seem stipud for asking this but I dont seem to be able to find the answer in the help section, but what do the number on the tile stat section mean.
4:25 am
Snoopycat
*stupid even
4:26 am
Trifioso
it's fine snoopycat, not stupid at all!
4:26 am
Trifioso
the first number is how many words you have found from that tile, the second number is how many words are possible from that tile.
4:26 am
Trifioso
thus, 2/3 would mean you have found 2 of 3 possible words
4:27 am
Trifioso
once you have found all 3, the tiles turns grey
4:27 am
Trifioso
de rien! :)
4:28 am
Snoopycat
thanks a lot I was thinking it was that but was not sure.
4:28 am
Trifioso
remember, none of us were born knowing how to place this game! we all had to learn, and there is a lot of jargon and such that can be confusing, at first
4:30 am
berri
its always good to ask questions. We are here to help
4:30 am
Snoopycat
yes when people are giving clues.am sure i will get there.
4:32 am
Trifioso
ok, be honest - is it just me, or is this grid hard as heck?
4:33 am
Chris P
It's a tricky little one
4:33 am
berri
not just you!!
4:33 am
berri
although my 9yo daughter managed to find 2 words
4:33 am
Trifioso
thanks my dear friends. usually I am a nbt halfway kind of gal, but nbt is looking like a reach today
4:33 am
Chris P
haven't got anything aboe a 6 yet
4:34 am
Trifioso
could you send her this way, berri?
4:40 am
Trifioso
I have five -- FIVE!!! -- tiles that I just can't budge, at all. shameful!
4:49 am
rbud
I have 3, Trif, maybe I can help with a couple of yours? :)
4:50 am
splasher
what is nbt?
4:50 am
rbud
I can't find the top right A, bottom right N, or center column lone i.
4:52 am
rbud
nbt = No Blank Tiles, means you have at least one word from all tiles (that are not 0/0 and so you won't start words from those.)
4:53 am
rbud
well, I am at least halfway, with my 3 BT's , giving up for now. :P
4:53 am
Chris P
can anyone help - stuck on last word at7/40
4:54 am
rbud
don't have it... sorry
4:55 am
Snoopycat
wahts does 7/40 mean
4:55 am
rbud
it doesn't make a very large list in Morewords, think I'll search it out
4:56 am
splasher
Thank you.
4:56 am
Chris P
it means it is 7 letters long and scores 40 points
4:56 am
Snoopycat
ah k thanks
4:56 am
Snoopycat
ah k thanks
4:59 am
rbud
found it, too! :D
4:59 am
splasher
How can any word of 7 letters get 40 points? If I take the tiles with most points on them - M 2, Y 3,Y 3, W 5, U 2, K 5 plus 1 from any tile the total is 21.
4:59 am
Chris P
not seen that one before!
5:00 am
Chris P
a 4 letter word scores tile value x1, 5 letters x 2, 6 letters x 3, 7 letters x 4 etc
5:01 am
splasher
Ah..thank you..
5:01 am
rbud

interesting about vitamin d and autism - to my mind one of the really sad things about the focus on the non-existent link between vaccines and autism is that it detracts from research into what actually does cause autism.

1:30 pm

Mary, 17 is way more "normal" than me.
1:30 pm
Scrabbler
And Sue, for a science geek 22 is lower than I expected.
1:31 pm
Gobias
What is "the test?"
1:32 pm
Gobias
Duh... nevermind... Reading helps I guess :/
1:32 pm
Scrabbler
Autism Quotient Test--interesting test designed by Simon Baron-Cohen, an expert on autism, and Sacha Baron-Cohen's bro.
1:33 pm
uusue2
well, I'm actually pretty chatty and personable (29 years of teaching, maybe?). If I had taken it 30 years ago the result might have been quite different.
1:37 pm
Scrabbler
And I am shy, introverted and live in my head, so I find socializing to be a lot of work, but I have come a long way from 30 yrs ago
1:38 pm
Scrabbler
I am nice and personable but socializing is WORK for me
1:39 pm
Scrabbler
Hm, I smell something burning. I suspect someone overnuked their food.
1:41 pm
Gobias
I think it was my brain taking that test...
1:41 pm
uusue2
anyway, lunch done, back to the eternal grading...
1:43 pm
Mary
only 1 left to go, at7/40 help pls?
1:44 pm
Gobias

1:45 pm
Scrabbler
At + feelings are also called ***tions + yin and **ng
1:45 pm
Scrabbler
Alas, also normal, Gobias.

1:45 pm

Gobias
Congrats Mary
1:46 pm
uusue2
yay, Mary! (ok, so I'm not grading yet)
1:46 pm
Scrabbler
Wildcat, what was your score? I thought that you are quirky too!
1:47 pm
Scrabbler
Yippee Mary!
1:47 pm
wildcat17
I thought it was the same as yours. Yes, I'm as quirky as you :)
1:47 pm
jmcnrick
okay i am a 12 so what does that mean?
1:48 pm
Scrabbler
Sorry, wildcat, I read it as "Why didn't I also get a 32?" You did get 32 or 34 and thus are in the Quirky Club with us.
1:48 pm
Scrabbler
JM, you too are "normal."
1:48 pm
wildcat17
I recently had the opportunity to try to explain all this to a bf. He didn't get it
1:49 pm
Gobias
you can be in the "normal" club with me :)
1:50 pm
Scrabbler
Has he noticed your quirks, Wildcat? I haven't even gotten to the boyfriend part yet, LOL.
1:51 pm
wildcat17

2:18 pm
crosshair
mmm lemon panda....
2:18 pm
smithchick

2:19 pm
crosshair

2:19 pm

2:24 pm

2:27 pm

2:28 pm

2:29 pm
negativeneil
well my brother is gay. In both senses! he's one of the happiest people I know. I keep saying I want some of whatever he's on!
2:29 pm
crosshair
we do not care you you live with or marry..well there was that one exception where a lady approaced the powers that be with the request to marry her horse..she was of course turned down as the steed was not of the age of consent...
2:30 pm
mixi6
when asked to say "I do", he probably said "Neigh"!
2:31 pm
negativeneil
horse? oh lord.
2:31 pm
negativeneil
Oh mixi6... that's soooo bad.
2:31 pm
crosshair
indeed,she wished to wed her beloved horse
2:32 pm
negativeneil
I don't even want to think about the honeymoon.
2:32 pm
negativeneil

2:42 pm
jmcnrick
which, btw, is not today
2:42 pm
crosshair
stumbleupon,the perfect thing for those like myself with the attention span of a goldfish:)
2:42 pm
jmcnrick

2:44 pm
crosshair

2:44 pm
uusue2
there are picture puzzles I do called griddlers (www.griddlers.net) which i think is where i found babble (people who like this also like that, or something)
2:44 pm
crosshair
so,no more backbreaking hours pouring over term papers by candle light with just you and a bottle of drambuie? lol
2:45 pm
Scrabbler
I found Babble in August 2006 via StumbleUpon<---great way to both zone out and find great websites.
2:45 pm
jmcnrick
like the old Concentration tv show uu?
2:45 pm
uusue2
no, I still do the grading, just the gradebook is online
2:45 pm
jesdraggon
"yeow" is so a word!
2:46 pm
Scrabbler
That site looks interesting, Sue. I will investigate it later. I don't have enough obsessions in my life yet.
2:46 pm
jmcnrick
that's what i said jes
2:46 pm
uusue2
no, jmc, these are japanese puzzles sometimes called nonograms, there is a list of numbers outside a grid that tells you how many spaces to color in, then when you get done there is a picture
2:47 pm
jmcnrick
you could save the world like me scrabs that takes up a lot of time
2:47 pm
jmcnrick
oh more like those things in the crossword puzzle books
2:47 pm
Scrabbler
Yep, work takes up a chunk of my life.
2:47 pm
crosshair
i tried saving the world once,it got in the way of reading,so i compromised and saved my town instead
2:47 pm
jmcnrick
the added advantage is that i never get done because i am so inept
2:48 pm
uusue2
right, jmc, although the online ones are much more user-friendly
2:48 pm
jesdraggon
heh. so pragmatic, crossy :)
2:48 pm
uusue2
and i don't know if i can save the world but maybe i can teach it some physics (along with some critical thinking)
2:48 pm
jmcnrick
when i was too young to do crosswords my mother would save those for me
2:48 pm
crosshair
one must be sensible in these things jes
2:48 pm
jmcnrick
i would save my town but congress would veto it
2:49 pm
jesdraggon
i am not so ambitious; i generally constrain myself to saving individuals.
2:49 pm

9:11 pm
Pinikula
em7 = em6 + vowel
9:11 pm
Pinikula
ey7 = optical + what it does when you're flirting
9:12 pm
Dorens

no6 = add two letters to preceding no4. last two no4 differ only by the last vowel.
10:47 pm
Pinikula
no5 = no + **** of passage

herinfernallady
It is Japanese food. a dish of small pieces of boneless chicken, usually marinated, skewered, and grilled.
