cybernan

thought it woud begin with a zy!

2:07 am

Haz1558

Hello, westford. The z is currency, isn't it?

2:07 am

westford

yes alternate spelling though

2:07 am

cybernan

having a great time thanks. Went to Winchester yesterday and stopped at Mottisfort on the way back to see the rose gardens --- wonderful - the best I

2:08 am

cybernan

*I've ever seen

2:08 am

westford

did you sing the song?

2:09 am

westford

the English can do roses

2:09 am

Haz1558

The climate suits them very well.

2:10 am

westford

they even had a war about them lol

2:11 am

westford

sorry it's very late here and I'm punchy

2:12 am

Haz1558

Are you getting to meet up with some babblers?

2:12 am

cybernan

nope - end of a funeral service when we arrived -- they were singing all thing bright and beautiful

2:13 am

cybernan

not at all haz -- had hoped to meet up with Kallila but she had to go to Bristol

2:14 am

westford

how fitting that haz is here too

2:14 am

Haz1558

That's a pity but it's not always easy to coordinate people's movements.

2:15 am

Haz1558

And I'm on the other side of the Irish sea so not much chance of me joining in.

2:17 am

cybernan

yes - especially as we are trying to get some sightseeing in. that is rather far -- lol. I keep forgetting, too, that 25 miles = about 1 hour driving time over here. We are so used to zipping along at 70 mph to get somewhere.

2:18 am

westford

how long will you be in England, Nan

2:18 am

Haz1558

You'd probably get along more quickly over here in that we have a lot less traffic.

2:20 am

cybernan

We've seen a lot of traffic -- must say everyone is very polite! We are out to see the countryside, so avoiding the freeways -- lots of narrow winding roads and tons of traffic circles! -- one does well to average 40 mph on a trip.

2:21 am

Haz1558

Yes, if you used the motorways you'd have the advantage of getting places more quickly, but the journey wouldn't be half as interesting.

2:22 am

cybernan

Exactly, Haz!

2:22 am

Haz1558

And for traffic circles I take it you mean roundabouts which are so beloved of road planners over here. They mostly work well but so many use them not quite correctly so you have to be on your guard.

2:23 am

cybernan

We leave here for Russia in 2 days, West -- then will spend another 12 days in East Sussex on our way home.

2:23 am

westford

what a wonderful trip you're having

2:24 am

westford

lol haz here it's the oldest biggest car that has the right of way

2:24 am

cybernan

yes that is what I was referring to -- seem to run across one about every 5 miles -- even way out in the country! In town every block has one -- even if there are only 2 roads intersecting!

2:25 am

Haz1558

My late father-in-law used to be a terrible driver and we were relieved when he gave it up. I asked him one day if he missed it and he said 'No! People kept tooting at me at roundabouts' Goodness knows what he had been doing.

2:26 am

Haz1558

We wouldn't have so many roundabouts in the country, but certainly in the town it saves on having traffic lights and mostly it helps traffic to flow well.

2:27 am

cybernan

yes - in town they work quite well

2:28 am

cybernan

I think they are stuck out on the country roads just to slow people down!

2:28 am

westford

have you been doing any driving nan?

2:28 am

jillibus

Hello Nan and Haz -- just had to drop in and say we're growing roundabouts in these parts too -- just smallish ones so far though.

2:28 am

cybernan

hi jill :)

2:29 am

westford

jilli I thought that poof was definite lol

2:29 am

Haz1558

They do have an advantage if you're not quite sure which exit to take, you can just keep going until you make up your mind.

2:29 am

jillibus

And I used to live in Sussex, in The Old Rectory, Twineham, near St Peter's Church, which I believe is a bit of a tourist attraction now.

2:29 am

cybernan

hubby does most of the driving -- he is so busy telling me what to do when I drive, that he doesn't relax, and I can't concentrate!

2:30 am

cybernan

besides -- he is a lousy navigator!

2:30 am

westford

it's driving on the opposite side that is difficult

2:30 am

westford

notice I didn't say 'the wrong side'

2:31 am

cybernan

very good, west! - lol

2:31 am

Haz1558

Very tactful.

2:31 am

cybernan

have made a note of it Jill -- will look it up if we get there.

2:31 am

jillibus

My reply just got wby cyberspace

2:32 am

jillibus

*swallowed

2:33 am

jillibus

obviously I should be in bed -- west, what I tried to say was that I went to have my bedtime banana. then did cleanup, then came back here and saw the conversation

2:34 am

westford

well we're happy you joined us

2:34 am

jillibus

but now I'm really going! Bye all!

2:34 am

Haz1558

Bye, jillibus.

2:34 am

westford

and so am I

2:34 am

cybernan

good night, jill - sleep well :)

2:34 am

westford

happy holidays nan

2:34 am

westford

I really envy all the traveling you do

2:35 am

cybernan

ty west - night

2:35 am

Haz1558

cybernan, have you come across many Japanese taking photographs?

2:35 am

cybernan

not too many Haz -- a lot of French and German tour groups, though

2:35 am

westford

good night all..'poof'

2:36 am

Haz1558

Good night, west.

2:37 am

Haz1558

We're always amused at how the Japanese tourists seem to travel around in groups, all looking through a camera and snapping away at everything, however inconsequential. I've often wondered who gets to see their pictures.

2:37 am

cybernan

many bored relatives, no doubt!

2:38 am

Haz1558

I fear so - or equally bored neighbours. Maybe they edit them ruthlessly when they get home otherwise the photo viewings would last for hours.

2:40 am

cybernan

I take tons of photos - delete half at the end of the day and probaby another 75% when I put my travel video together

2:41 am

cybernan

The difference is I don't take photos of everything -- just lots of something I really like to ensure getting a good one

2:41 am

cybernan

only took 7 of the medieval font in Winchester cathedral yesterday - lol

2:42 am

Haz1558

Only 7! How many of the cathedral altogether?

2:42 am

cybernan

probably 24 or so

2:43 am

Haz1558

I've never visited Winchester Cathedral - any English cathedrals that I have visited are pretty awe-inspiring because of the sheer scale plus the age.

2:43 am

cybernan

and about 50 in the rose gardens!

2:44 am

Haz1558

Ah well, that's understandable, roses are terribly photogenic.

2:44 am

cybernan

Winchester is certainly old -- it is larger than Salisbury cathedral, but not as graceful -- I think it is older -- the architecture had a heavier feel to it.

2:46 am

Haz1558

Yorkminster is my favourite cathedral of those I have visited. I had to catch my breath the first time I went in.

2:47 am

cybernan

Yes!!! - loved Yorkminster -- You could fit 4 of Salisbury or Winchester inside it!

Hello all. I lived in Winchester in the 60's and it was amusing to see tourist buses disgorge visitors at the top of the long path..... only those who could run with their cameras made it to the west door before the bus tooted for them to come back

Hello, scouser.

hi scouser

2:49 am

scouser

Hello Haz. Not a cathedral, but have you been to Southwell minster? a little bit of medieval France with wonderful carvings, thousands of stone leaves.

2:49 am

scouser

Hello cybernan. I have many photos too, as prints.

2:50 am

Haz1558

No, I haven't. It boggles the mind when you see the workmanship, doesn't it?

2:52 am

scouser

Yes indeed. I look always for the Green Man, who quite often is inside a church now as well as being a gargoyle..... the latter is one of my favourite words along with its French counterpart 'gargoulleaux'.

2:52 am

cybernan

almost 9 am -- husband just made an appearance, so must get some breakfast and get ready to go out -- sun is shining at the moment - Yay!

2:52 am

cheers cybernan.

Enjoy breakfast, the sun and the day, cybernan.

Yes Judi. Apparently "medium sized" is not in the Enable dictionary.

8:24 am

car.eeyore

Hello Molly!

8:25 am

car.eeyore

Mrs. Howell is NOT accepted!

8:25 am

MollyL

Thurston would be so crushed

8:26 am

car.eeyore

He would buy Babble and Enable and add her to the list!

8:26 am

hego

lol

8:28 am

Judi

And rightly so.

8:28 am

MollyL

Dictionary.com lists Mrs. Howell as an acceptable word. Enable is once again, cracked out.

8:29 am

car.eeyore

Oh yummmers! Just made NutriGrain Waffles and put apple jelly on them......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

8:29 am

hego

enable is just cracked. period

8:29 am

hego

Sounds yum!

8:30 am

Judi

"Intel" is also not allowed. Silly.

8:30 am

car.eeyore

2 waffles with the jelly...only 270 calories! And it is whole wheat / whole grains so I am getting good fiber to boot!

8:31 am

MollyL

Why jelly instead of syrup? Same amount of calories in a TB of each.

8:31 am

car.eeyore

Wanted something different!

8:32 am

Judi

Me like jelly on waffles too.

8:32 am

MollyL

Sounds like a good flavor combination.

8:32 am

hego

Ah! variety

8:33 am

car.eeyore

Stats for the middle O? I only have OY 4

8:34 am

The @ sign was very close to being eliminated from the standard keyboard until 1971, when Ray Tomlinson wrote it into the code used to send the first email.

8:38 am

Really? There was email back in '71?

8:38 am

crosshair

i guess so:))

8:39 am

car.eeyore

Cool! TY for the tidbit!

9:19 am

Judi

Our AC is out at home. Feel fortunate to have found a tech that can come out this afternoon. Too bloody hot to go without.

Scrabbler

How hot has it been, Judi?

9:20 am

EvaNadine

Mumford and Sons!

9:20 am

Judi

I'm jealous, Eva. LOVE Mumford & Sons.

9:24 am

Scrabbler

I just watched a video--I like Irish bands

9:25 am

EvaNadine

that video is pretty much exactly what they were like in concert. stand-up bass, banjo, steel guitar... quite talented on numerous instruments.

9:25 am

EvaNadine

very energetic.

9:25 am

crosshair

her eyes,they shine like the diamonds,you,d think she was queen of the land,and her hair hung o,er her shoulders,tied up in a black velvet band....arrroooo

9:26 am

MollyL

9:26 am

EvaNadine

9:28 am

Scrabbler

Oooh, I like them, Eva!!

9:29 am

9:32 am

licketySplitAUS

Judi - oh no! Scrabbler - hugs and kisses - you must be grieving so bad - hugs higs

Animal lovers understand this grief.

9:34 am

crosshair

crossy understands..we have another kitty in the vets as we speak

9:34 am

Crosshair - we have a date indeed - The sooner the better - I would kill for a Canadian breakfast!

9:34 am

Mr Bob

Morning all

9:34 am

Judi

I had to put my ten year old kitty down on April 8th, Scrabbs. I knew it was coming, but I was still crushed. Hubby and I bawled our eyes out.

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Crossy. What is going on with your kitty? And Judi, I knew his death was approaching, but still it is hard to say good-bye. I was fortunate to hold him as he took his last breaths.

9:37 am

Scrabbler

What happened to Lia?

Scrabbler

crosshair

mmmm

10:00 am

EvaNadine

lately, every so often, when i turn my head to the left, i feel a small pop in my neck. it doesnt hurt at all, but it sends a slight tingle down through my arms and legs. i would hazard a guess this might be related to the muscle spasms i sometimes get in my neck/upper back -- is this something i should be concerned about?

10:00 am

mrpresident

send yourself, your kids, your family... we will put them up

10:01 am

mrpresident

eva, go to an osteopath and have it checked out

10:01 am

crosshair

air canada toronto to sydney = $3,165.00

10:01 am

hurshy

probably your bones have shifted a little. if you do nothing it is possible that your bones will develop spurs, i think, from the friction. you could see a chiropractor and they can straighten you right out.

10:01 am

Scrabbler

Eva, it sounds like a nerve is getting impinged. I would talk to your doc and consider MRI of cervical spine.

10:01 am

mrpresident

well, that sucks crossy!!

10:01 am

EvaNadine

its not the same sort of feeling as when i crack my neck. not that strong.

10:02 am

Scrabbler

Hi hurshy

10:02 am

crosshair

eva,i would check ut yout i get that all the time..i have 3 hernuated discs in my neck

10:02 am

10:04 am

mrpresident

what time you put in for travel crossy??

10:04 am

EvaNadine

it only just started happening recently, but it has happened frequently enough in that short amount of time that i figured i would ask.
i was hoping youd say something like "oh, no, not a problem. your neck just fell asleep"
;)

10:05 am

Scrabbler

I would not ignore neuro symptoms.

10:05 am

hurshy

it certainly doesn't sound like a MAJOR problem now - easily correctible - but if you do nothing over the years it could be worse.

10:05 am

crosshair

i did not look at red eye flighs or stand by or off season,i just looked at general flights in july

10:05 am

EvaNadine

yeah. i definitely dont want to end u phaving serious spinal surgery or paralyzed because i ignored a little pop and tingle...

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Anybody with the Z stat?

10:06 am

crosshair

i take neck snaps and arm tingles seriously

10:06 am

mrpresident

ok, will check out the flights from July to November

10:06 am

crosshair

when my 3 disks herinated,i could not move my arms properly

10:06 am

Scrabbler

Could be herniated disc, anomaly of spine or spinal cord, etc. MRI should be done.

10:07 am

crosshair

but exercise and knowing what to do and not do help,and they calcified over time

10:07 am

eva, if you are still here, I would stay away from chiropractors for neck problems - too much risk of damage (and I went to them for years before actually getting my neck fixed - required surgery but gave me infinite relief)

10:11 am

crosshair

omg science!!

10:11 am

uusue2

science, is your son ok??????

10:11 am

i have only seen doctors for my neck twice. both times they sent me to PT (not at a chiropractor)

looks like i will be making an appt soon if it continues!

10:13 am

crosshair

my wife in her youth had back pain..she went to a bone cracker and they ended up hurting her more and their work start a tumor becoming active in her spine

10:13 am

crosshair

and she had to have surgery

10:14 am

crosshair

no use for bone crackers at all

10:14 am

Scrabbler

I would trust a PT--they would know to not do "adjustments."

10:14 am

uusue2

PT can be a big help, eva, and physical therapists actually know the mechanics of the body (which chiros do not)

10:15 am

sciencegeek

Yes. They approached him with a gun at the stop light. Had face covered with a banana

10:15 am

you do not need to sell me scrabby,no bone crackers for crossy or the mrs ever

10:18 am

Chiropractors do not know their limits. And many have delved into nutrition, supplements, and even spout off about the dangers of childhood vaccines.

10:19 am

here it is not such a problem,with our provincial health care for everyone,we jusy see the proper doctor instead if hunting around for cheap bone crackers

acupuncture has been shown to be purely placebo - studies have been done using "sham" needles (with a casing but no actual needle) and there is no difference. I can get you references if you like.

Typically with acupuncture (and I have had it done) they put in needles, then have you in a darkened room for 1/2 hour or so with soft music - it is relaxing and nice but by no means a medical treatment.

10:26 am

i'll take the darkened room and soft music with no needles :)

Man's name and plural Science.

10:40 am

wvteach

last word was to 5/10 - cannot find any definition for it anywhere - but it adds a final consonant to the to 4/4 before

10:40 am

Krista

I need a clue for your clue, Molly. :)

10:41 am

sciencegeek

Don't see the plural may I have another mans name

10:41 am

sciencegeek

uusue2

ah, thx, molly, that got me 2!

10:43 am

10:44 am

11:10 am

MollyL

Well considering zl5/20 has no definition in any dictionary I've looked in, I have issues with it being playable here. And please, no song and dance about it being a monetary unit of Poland. That ends in y.

11:31 am

crosshair

there is polish currency called zloty...colosest i can get

11:36 am

sammysmom

change the y to another vowel

11:36 am

crosshair

the singular with the e instead of the y is def polish in origin...and a nasty word to put in an english word game..but then again so is cwms;0

11:44 am

crosshair

lol M-i-l offered us the LOAN of 500 dollars to help pay for operation kitty is getting today,i told the wife that if it is not a give but a loan,i would rather put in on the cc and get my reward points than having a loan from m-i-l hanging over my head like a sword:)

11:44 am

crosshair

kitty will be fine and is coming home round 4 pm today with a bandage on her tail and a cone on her head

11:44 am

wildcat17

poor kitty

11:46 am

crosshair

interesting thing..they gave her an antibiotic shot thats good for TWO weeks..no pills why can they not do this for humans? we have to swallow those darn horse pills for 10 days:/

11:47 am

wildcat17

veterinary medicine is more advanced than human medicine? or they just know that we'll put up with it whereas a cat won't

11:48 am

crosshair

i suppose so:)

11:48 am

EvaNadine

crossy, not to mention that so many people stop taking the pills when they decide theyre all better instead of finishing out the course...

11:48 am

crosshair

nothing worse than not finishing the course of the pills..all you do is create super bugs that way

11:49 am

wildcat17

all of which creates more opportunity for $$ for them when you have to go back to the doctor or get more medicine

11:50 am

EvaNadine

i guess they figure if the dose is a little too srong for the cat, the side-effects dont really matter. unlike in people who have to do to work and get stuff done.
what does a cat have to get done?
"oh, that mouse needs chasing!"
"oh, this sunspot is done. must move to THAT sunspot!"

11:50 am

crosshair

sounds sensible

11:50 am

sammysmom

i know what you meran cross.. 3 years ago sammy got hit by a car ( deliberate act) and his right hind leg was broken in 3 places, vets here in our county wanted 3 THOUSAND dollars tio repair it. we took him to another county where a friend of ours lives and they operated on him and fixed him up for 700 dollars... i had to put it on my home equity loan.

11:51 am

sammysmom

sammy still was a litle kitty limp but he is a great catcher of mice, chipunks, birds, bunnies and whatever small vermin there is left in our neighborhood

Despite being nominated five times, Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize. Although posthumous awards arenâ€™t given, the Nobel Committee came as close as possible in 1948, the year he died, when they didnâ€™t give out an award because â€œthere was no suitable living candidate.â€

sorry, my internet went flaky

1:50 pm

Ahhh, actually it was a little dizzy and unassisted walk. I can walk at home now sans crutches. My gait seems ot be making me feel queasy. or I am just tired.

1:50 pm

uusue2

with three computers, three smart phones, and an Xbox, the router gets a little overwhelmed sometimes

1:50 pm

uusue2

and red, be careful - you don't want to fall!!

1:51 pm

redturtlehead

I have taken to sort of carrying the crutches in case....I think it may be exhaustion. I fell asleep at PT today....thank goodness I dont think I drooled.

1:51 pm

uusue2

healing takes a lot of energy, red - even if you're not doing anything you can get pretty worn out after surgery

1:52 pm

redturtlehead

today was a huge day, I biked almost 30 mins, and then walked and all the other stuff...I also drank a ton of coffee, so even though I need to sleep i can't but expect it to be a very very early night.

1:55 pm

uusue2

wow, no wonder you are tired!!!

1:58 pm

redturtlehead

I am pretty pleased, but I could use a little sleep, on my own bed tonight too! the air bed is a little hard.

one of our tomboys got into a fight with something around here (probably a racoon) and wound up with several abcessed wounds - took him in, they knocked him out, cleaned them (but no stitches), and then called to ask if, while they had him out, did we want him "fixed" for a bargain price - sold! :)

3:05 pm

rbud

guess the big expense of neutering is the anesthesia?

3:06 pm

wildcat17

one of the big expenses .. that and the time it takes in their care for him to go under and come back out again

3:07 pm

jessmom

my friend has 3 cats and 2 dogs - one cat had thyroid issue and needed radioactive treatment twice, one cad had anal glands rupture six months apart, third cat diagnosed as diabetic, one dog with colitis, the other with epilepsy- all diagnosed and treated last year - somewhere around $3000

3:13 pm

Glantarell

glad you have - that's what i'm looking for

3:13 pm

Glantarell

ah, i have it too

3:13 pm

rbud

adverb version of fi4, to chop something very small is to chop fi6

3:14 pm

rbud

is that the one?

3:14 pm

Glantarell

yes

3:15 pm

crosshair

we looked into pet insurance..the yearly fee is around 200 dollars,you are allowed a ONE time expense fee of UP to six thousand dollars..then your policy is re-examined

3:15 pm

Glantarell

much cheaper and more flexible here in the UK crossy

3:15 pm

crosshair

when they reexamine..the rate goes up

3:18 pm

crosshair

might be worth it not sure..average cat lives fifteen to sixteen..so that is 3200 for the life of the cat if nothing goes wrong..so if they need a 6 grand operation in that time..you save 50%

3:18 pm

Glantarell

*fireworks*

3:18 pm

rbud

yay, Glant!!!

3:18 pm

uusue2

yay, glant!!

3:18 pm

crosshair

yaa for glant!

3:18 pm

Glantarell

pedigree animals are more likely to need veterinary attention than moggies/mongrels

3:19 pm

Glantarell

might be worth factoring that in

3:19 pm

uusue2

<--- does not have pet insurance. The cats and dog are under strict orders not to have expensive problems.

3:19 pm

crosshair

ours are rescued pets saved from death..no over bred high priced pets here lol

3:19 pm

uusue2

On the other hand, part of my roof needs replacing, sigh.

3:19 pm

Glantarell

anybody want a clue before i go?

3:20 pm

uusue2

and same here, crossy, two tabby cats and a labradoodle.

3:20 pm

Glantarell

a nice bottle of Fleurie is calling... and we had a cash buyer view the house today so I am wishing for an offer tomorrow or next week...

3:20 pm

crosshair

rescued pets are the best pets

3:20 pm

HollyF

co6/30?

3:20 pm

crosshair

very nice glant

3:20 pm

uusue2

nice, glant!!

3:21 pm

rbud

hubby has been known to mention that "lead poisoning" is much cheaper than the vet (he's only kidding)

3:21 pm

Glantarell

rescued pets re the best pets but they take the most effort initially

3:21 pm

uusue2

don't have that one, holly, but am looking

3:22 pm

Glantarell

c06/30 like little co5 - sheltered bays with an R in the middle

3:22 pm

crosshair

yes,they have often been abandoned,abused and takes time to trust the evil humans again

3:22 pm

HollyF

Thank you, thank you thank you!

3:23 pm

uusue2

thx, glant!

3:23 pm

Glantarell

plus we think they have had such poor starts in life that we treat them like underpriviledged children - which gives them all the wrong messages about where they come in our family 'pack'

3:23 pm

crosshair

ty glant

3:23 pm

Glantarell

better to set clear bundaries at the beginning of our relationships with them - makes them happier

3:23 pm

crosshair

lol, the wife and i are alpha male and female..they learn that fast

3:23 pm

rbud

good point, Glant

3:24 pm

Glantarell

that is always a good thing crossy

3:24 pm

Glantarell

i spent 10 years working for the RSPCA (UK humane society) and the hardest thing was trying to convince new onwers that 'spoiling' their new pets was actually a weird form of cruelty!

3:25 pm

Glantarell

anyway, off to enjoy the Fleurie and dream of moving home and starting afresh - see you tomorrow!

3:26 pm

crosshair

our cats know when they eat,how much they eat,to sit for bath or brushing,how to take meds,they go to their bed on command,sit on command..all the standard stuff

3:26 pm

uusue2

bye, glant!

3:26 pm

uusue2

wow, those are some pretty well-trained cats, crossy!

3:27 pm

crosshair

one is traind to a harness

3:27 pm

crosshair

trained

3:27 pm

uusue2

when I got my second cat I followed all the instructions about introducing a new cat - put it in a separate room, gave it food, water, and a litter box, let the two cats sniff each other under the door ...

3:28 pm

rbud

*rofl at the notion of our cats sitting still for a bath* - we use welding gloves

3:28 pm

crosshair

really??

3:28 pm

crosshair

wow

3:28 pm

uusue2

... but the new cat opened the door to the room (!) and disappeared into the basement for a month. The two of them still don't get along.

3:29 pm

crosshair

like i saw the 6 year old took on a mother role with the 2 year old

3:29 pm

Shirlockc

moved to a new condo and the cat immediately found the hole behind a fake cabinet that led to the access wall between kitchen and bath

3:29 pm

Shirlockc

disappeared for over a day, freaking me out

3:29 pm

crosshair

but he is very playfull and when she gets tired of it,she gives him a shot with her front paws that sends him tumbling down the hall

3:29 pm

crosshair

i bed it did shirlock

3:30 pm

Shirlockc

contractor came, ripped out the fake cabinet and then said "oh, i don't see any blood so should be fine, cat will come back when it feels like it"

3:31 pm

uusue2

probably did, too :-)

3:32 pm

Shirlockc

of course she did

3:32 pm

uusue2

anyway that initial disappearing act was what earned my second cat her name: Cheshire. I knew there was a cat there - food disappeared and poop appeared - but we sure didn't see her for a while!

3:33 pm

Shirlockc

but it didn't give me any confidence when contractor couldn't tell me where the access wall went

3:34 pm

Kazzer99

whee fireworks for me

3:36 pm

uusue2

yay, kazz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:33 pm

It's mostly sunny here but still on the cool side in the shade.

4:33 pm

jillibus

4:34 pm

stidmama

not sunny. was supposed to maybe hit 65, but I think we topped out lower.

4:34 pm

stidmama

stagnant air... *sigh* wishing for a thunderstorm or something to change the energy!

5:05 pm

crosshair

howdy again everyone,back for a few more:)

5:06 pm

uusue2

hi, crossy!

5:07 pm

crosshair

sue!!:)

5:08 pm

uusue2

finally going to expert, finding all the easy words I missed :-P

5:08 pm

crosshair

lol

5:09 pm

crosshair

i do not know what is worse,going to lickety and finding the last 20 are impossible babblets,or going to lickety and finding they are easy 4 letter words

5:09 pm

jillibus

hi crossy!

5:10 pm

uusue2

well, finding that they're easy certainly makes it go quickly!

5:10 pm

LeslieAnn

easy is worse

5:10 pm

crosshair

howdy jilli

5:10 pm

LeslieAnn

if they're hard, you're like, well good thing i came here and didn't try to find these crazy things for another 2 hours

5:11 pm

crosshair

crossy confesses that he also brings up the entire chat log and culls the flip peoples posts for clues;))

5:11 pm

uusue2

even at that I find myself trying ridiculous combinations of letters before finding something obvious

5:12 pm

crosshair

only after do i bring up lickety as a last resort

5:12 pm

uusue2

lol, crossy, I do that in desperation but not often (although since someone pointed out the existence of morewords I have been using it quite a bit)

5:12 pm

jillibus

there's such variety in the way babblers go about solving

5:12 pm

crosshair

it is interesting to hear the different methods

5:14 pm

jillibus

I find what I can, watch for clues, try for nbt before going to Lickety, then go through the list, then try some monkeying and ask for clues, then go to morewords if I'm stuck and there's nobody to ask.

5:15 pm

uusue2

ok, I won't tell you all the crazy non-words I just typed in before finding the le4/5.

5:15 pm

crosshair

lol

5:16 pm

jillibus

I do not look for long words at the beginning because they so often grow out of shorter ones which are easier to find (for me).

5:17 pm

periwinkle

hi all, back to find my last 28

5:17 pm

crosshair

wb peri

5:17 pm

5:28 pm

periwinkle

sue, do you get the veria channel where you are. it is 162 here on FIOS. There is a show called Fed Up and the host cooks meals to help with issues that the guests have. One show was about celiac disease but I did not watch it

5:29 pm

periwinkle

wiat, I did watach some of it and she made cookies with rice flour and almond meal which the guest really liked

5:29 pm

periwinkle

still can't type :(

5:30 pm

crosshair

i never could type sue,but i do not let that stop me;)

5:30 pm

periwinkle

5:30 pm

uusue2

sounds good, peri! No, I only get really basic cable (cheapskate) so maybe 15 channels none of which are very interesting :-)

5:32 pm

periwinkle

too bad :(

5:32 pm

crosshair

if it were not for the mrs and my son,i would not even bother with cable tbh the history channel,discovery,tlc and the amc are the only ones worth tuning it

5:32 pm

crosshair

5:32 pm

periwinkle

lots of good shows : vegetarian cooking, aromatherapy, pilates, yoga, etc

5:33 pm

DR1965

co6/21 help please

5:34 pm

uusue2

I got fed up with history and tlc when they started showing a lot of nonsense; I do like the science channel and national geographic but it's not worth the $$$

5:34 pm

crosshair

yes forgot about national geographic..

5:34 pm

uusue2

co + consonant + this print is almost too ***y to read

5:35 pm

periwinkle

I like those shows too, crossy and sue but I do not pay for cable, my sister does :)

5:35 pm

crosshair

but for those 6 good channels we just listed,i had to get 3 different channel packs with 350 channels of garbage

5:35 pm

jillibus

co6/21 -- same first 3 letters as previous word + what cans are made of (theoretically)

5:36 pm

jillibus

oh well, too slow as usual so I'll leave the clueing to others, lol!

5:36 pm

periwinkle

that is too bad crossy, would be nice if you could request a cable package made specially for each customer

5:36 pm

uusue2

that would be nice, peri, I would almost consider paying for a few select channels!

5:37 pm

jillibus

crossy, my son and his wife have given up cable and use Netflix plus streaming from a computer projected onto a wall.

5:37 pm

periwinkle

jilli, you are looking both sexy and sultry in that icon

5:38 pm

jillibus

and blowing smoke too, peri! Looong ago!

5:38 pm

periwinkle

does that cost much less, jilli?

5:38 pm

LeslieAnn

netflix is like $20 a month

5:38 pm

jillibus

Netflix is about $9 a month where they are!

5:39 pm

periwinkle

it is much less, not sure if sis and bro in law would want to change tho

5:39 pm

LeslieAnn

oh ok, i think some fancier packages are $20

5:39 pm

jillibus

It depends what they enjoy watching.

5:39 pm

periwinkle

do you get shows with netflix or just movies?

5:39 pm

jillibus

I don't know.

5:39 pm

periwinkle

we already have netflix for movies

5:40 pm

periwinkle

our tastes are not the same

5:40 pm

LeslieAnn

hmm maybe it has changed since i had it. their website now says $7.99 month for unlimited streaming

5:40 pm

jillibus

They watch shows and sports etc via streaming video on the computer. They have a projector.

5:41 pm

jillibus

And a laptop computer so it's portable.

5:42 pm

periwinkle

ti6/27 pls

5:42 pm

jillibus

The projector is on loan from the school where d-i-l teaches drama.

5:43 pm

jillibus

ti6/21 is pl of the squeaky guy in the Wizard of Oz

5:43 pm

periwinkle

I know jilli, I need the ti6/27 pls

5:43 pm

uusue2

5:44 pm

uusue2

Although babbling is not my fo 5/16 at all, I in 6/21ed to finish grid listless. I finished the puzzle in a ti6/27 manner,but not listless as I had inte4/5ed to do.Now I will le4/5 a hand w/a story of clues. I'm a pack-rat. I do not like to throw away any it4/5s in the house. I consider everything in the house a valuable treasure-tr6/27. I lo4/7 everything I got. If I won the lo5/10, then I could get rid of everything&buy all new things My hoarding has taken a to 4/4 on husband. Husband thinks I act like a kid who does not pick up its to4/6. Husband said that one day, he is going to just throw everything in the trash.Then I reto5/10ed,"what if I threw out your baseball mi4/5?" Always te4/4 hubby, you worry about your stuff & I'll worry about mi 4/5. Hubby lo 5/16 it whenever I do throw something out. I'm me4/5ow when it comes to having a sloppy house but hubby gets so uptight about it. He recomme4/5s I spend more time cleaning&less time babbling.Hubby complains about the dustmi4/5s in the house.He says I'm not too good in the ro4/4 of housekeeper. Hubby says I should know how to clean the house by ro 4/4, but I don't. Instead I just ro4/7 around house with a rag,but nothing gets cleaned.But I hate cleaning and I think it's a ro 6/18 job! At times I'm to4/4 between babbling & knowing I have to clean.It's after ni4/4 'o' clock. It is ti4/5 for me to go in 4/4 the kitchen and eat a pork lo4/4 dinner. After that, I am going to go watch a Richard Dreyfuss film called "Ti6/21" with my dog. He is feeling forlo4/4 because I've been ignoring him.I hope that you all have a fi 4/7 evening. G'ni4/4!
