12:20 am

jillibus

another new printer, flosey -- a wireless all-in-one to replace the faulty one.

12:21 am

jillibus

I spent the whole afternoon on the phone to India and crawling around under the table playing (hah) with plugs and cables

12:22 am

jillibus

mentally exhausted too.

12:22 am

flosey

oh gosh, did you have any problem understanding the techie?

12:23 am

jillibus

oh yes, for sure!

12:23 am

jillibus

and vice versa

12:23 am

flosey

that is soooo frustrating!

12:23 am

flosey

yes, of course

12:24 am

jillibus

well, it's mostly sorted now, although still not recognised by the laptop -- too tired to figure it out but I think I can -- if not, I'll contact HP

12:25 am

flosey

hopefully you'll get someone you can understand

12:25 am

VolleymomDee

hate when I have to dig under my desk amdist the cords... so frustrating... hope you get it resolved soon

12:25 am

VolleymomDee

pa 7 x 4 so far

12:26 am

flosey

12:27 am

jillibus

great fun, holding a phone and a flashlight and needing two hands to unplug a cord under the table

12:27 am

VolleymomDee

sure been there many times... makes me so irritated... can totally relate

12:27 am

flosey

and at our age, it's not easy bending and twisting!

12:27 am

jillibus

this printer is wireless, so now I have fewer cords, and no more separate scanner.

12:28 am

flosey

will be great then jilli, when you get it solved

12:28 am

jillibus

I actually bought some gardener's knee pads, and they really helped with the crawling.

12:28 am

VolleymomDee

or getting up once I am down there

12:28 am

jillibus

so right, dee!

12:29 am

jillibus

but the conversation with the Indian cost $30 -- it was about the router and the warranty had expired, of course.

12:30 am

VolleymomDee

:~).... ridiculous there isn't a toll free number

12:30 am

flosey

darn, that hurts

12:30 am

jillibus

the number was toll free, but the conversation wasn't

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

how is that jili?

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

rape

2:14 am

melonheadjujube

PB for me!

2:14 am

melonheadjujube

and such an awful word :(

2:15 am

Cathyar

lol...FISHY! ;-) lol

2:15 am

mrpresident

pink bubbles and vintage cheddar awaits you melon! :)

2:16 am

melonheadjujube

ooooh!

2:17 am

melonheadjujube

All I really want is a magic suffix button so I don't have to type the same word a zillion times...

2:18 am

flosey

wouldn't that be a neat little addition, melon

2:19 am

mrpresident

maybe i can set up a electric shock therapy treatment where as when I enter a word I have already tried, I get a 'wiring' to the finger tips.

2:20 am

melonheadjujube

my bro and I had a disagreement over BoggleÂ® - he would write a word and then put all the suffixes in () next to it: I said you had to write the whole aord out separately for each suffix. Of course I was right! ;p

2:21 am

mrpresident

of course melon! women are always right... when are men going to get it and shut the hell up!

2:23 am

flosey

I must get to bed, goodnight all, down to 171

2:23 am

mrpresident

nite flosey! **hugs**

2:23 am

flosey

night mrp, hugs back

2:23 am

mrpresident

luv ya... enjoy your sleep

2:24 am

flosey

ty, been quite drowsy for last half hour

2:24 am

flosey

or so!

2:24 am

mrpresident

melon, at least you just disagree over games... my brother is a total dipsh** lately with everything I say

2:31 am

melonheadjujube

that's sucky, mrp! we sibs get a long pretty well. One of us is no more; my baby sister, the youngest of 6 - i'm the oldest - passed away from cancer 8 years ago, only 37 years old! It would be terrible if we didn't get along after that.

2:35 am

mrpresident

oh darling!!

2:35 am

mrpresident

I am so so sorry

2:35 am

mrpresident

there is only my brother and I, and he has become someone I don't know.

2:36 am

mrpresident

i have been his 'mother' all his life, tried to change that back to being a sister and he took badly to that.

2:36 am

melonheadjujube

Oh, I am sorry for you! Funny thing for us is, Rachel was the one person nobody had a beef with. We adored her from the day she was born and it didn't go to her head too much!

2:37 am

mrpresident

his own mother abandoned me, so when I asked him to move out (I was married with kids and he was smoking weed day in, day out with no job), I allegedly abandoned him in some way too

2:37 am

melonheadjujube

ah - mothering. No-one wants to mother anyne but their kids.

2:38 am

mrpresident

his mother abandoned me, and told him that she was also abandoning him cause of me

2:38 am

melonheadjujube

and a pothead - not good. You're right not to enable all that.

2:38 am

mrpresident

i will never be 'human' to him

2:38 am

melonheadjujube

still, what a heartache.

2:39 am

mrpresident

yep, i saw him yesterday... wanna hear about it??

2:39 am

melonheadjujube

and you mom, I am so sorry! I am one of the lucky ones; my mom was mybest friend.

2:39 am

melonheadjujube

only if you feel better for telling it.

2:39 am

mrpresident

doesn't matter if you don't... it is just another long shitty story

2:40 am

mrpresident

well, he moved his family into a house only a block away from us. We had never been invited to his apartments before that... they have been married for 6 years

2:41 am

mrpresident

he would come over here to see my kids, he is very attached to Maddison

2:41 am

mrpresident

he kind of ignores Luke, puts up with him, but breaks out the smiles and conversation with Maddison

2:41 am

mrpresident

He ignores Lickety and barely talks to me.

2:42 am

melonheadjujube

sicko.

2:43 am

Cathyar

mrp....why put up with that? i mean...yes, he is family, but it seems he think he is owed something perhaps? blood only can go so far before you give so much and try so hard without making progress?

2:44 am

mrpresident

do you know what we were served for lunch?? first time at his house... and I brought bread, cookies and chocolate as a house warming

2:45 am

Cathyar

?

2:45 am

mrpresident

pumpkin soup (canned) and water.... oh, and my bread that I brought along.

2:46 am

Cathyar

were your cookies and chocolate for dessert? at least? :S

2:46 am

mrpresident

no cath

2:47 am

Cathyar

so very sad when families drift apart....i can relate.

2:49 am

mrpresident

yes Cath.... it hurts cause we were so close, and the drugs turned him into a paranoid

2:50 am

melonheadjujube

wow - I need to be somewhere in 6 hours! Must go -- stuck @ ~ 180, 11 7s, no 8 or 9. Maybe later. nite, all!

2:50 am

mrpresident

he was such a darling young man!! adored him

2:51 am

Cathyar

seems your brother has some sort of chip on his shoulder...prob caused by the pot use....so hard when you want to help someone you care about, but they don't see they need to help themselves first.

2:51 am

melonheadjujube

{poof}

2:51 am

Cathyar

nite mel....

2:52 am

mrpresident

he cornered me a couple of years ago at the local drinking hole... down in the games room, and yelled at me in front of everyone.... 'you are sick in the head... there is something mentally wrong with you... I don't want you around my son... etc etc'. what a killer conversation that was

2:52 am

mrpresident

nite melon!! **hugs**

2:53 am

Cathyar

mr. p...from all i've seen on FB...you certainly have a lot going on and you cannot shoulder the load upon yourself of someone, no matter how much you love them, who won't help themselves too....he may see you as a crutch to lean on?

2:53 am

mrpresident

and hey! I agree with half of what he says! but the way he did it, was so awful!!

2:54 am

mrpresident

I am a burden in his life... someone he 'has' to deal with

2:54 am

mrpresident

but I am going to make a decision soon... I have to make it to help myself into a better place

2:55 am

mrpresident

I spoke to my dad about it, and he told me the same story about how his own son treats him... no different to how he treats me.

2:55 am

Cathyar

lol...wow...sounds like it is more the other way around though! like he would maybe rather be on his own than accept the help you offer?

2:56 am

Cathyar

how old is he, mr p?

2:58 am

mrpresident

he doesn't want me or my dad around

2:58 am

mrpresident

he is 36

2:59 am

Cathyar

perhaps, then, if that is what he really seems to want..maybe you SHOULD all just leave him be? the time will come when he will need you both and perhaps the space will give him time to realize what he is missing out on?

3:00 am

Cathyar

hard though it would be to do. :S

3:01 am

Cathyar

but if he doesn't treat people nicely....perhaps giving him what he claims to want will help him realize he really doesn't want to alienate his family?

3:01 am

mrpresident

too right cathy... I want him out of my life right now too

3:01 am

mrpresident

he is alienating his family!!

3:02 am

mrpresident

he is listening to my conversations and twisting them around to make me sound wrong

3:03 am

mrpresident

his wife even stepped in at one time and corrected him as he tried to twist my words... he has behaved so poorly and only wants to listen to his own paranoia

3:03 am

Cathyar

if it were me, i would just tell him that I love him and want to give him respect and love he deserves, but he needs to love himself first....only then will he get what he needs from people.

3:03 am

mrpresident

i don't know how she deals with it to be honest

3:04 am

mrpresident

i texted him... let me pull up the text... brb

3:04 am

Cathyar

wow....so his wife even sees the error of his ways!

3:04 am

Cathyar

hard part is....as long as people who love him continue to give to him...it will enable him to continue his behaviours

3:05 am

Cathyar

tough love....turning away is sometimes the best way to love someone.

3:05 am

Cathyar

so they will learn....grow up, so to speak.

3:06 am

mrpresident

"Robert, you tried your best I guess, but your issues are your own and tough for u, obviously. U were nasty and mean to some of us today... If u only want to see Maddison, arrange that with me... You ignored the rest of my family and snapped at me. If u have issues, see a f***ing shrink rather than abusing me and dad for asking normal questions about family.'

3:06 am

Cathyar

but once you reach that point....all you can do is hope it will work.

3:06 am

mrpresident

how is it at 36 that he still has to 'grow up' ???!! The dope has screwed his brain

3:07 am

Cathyar

is he good to your daughter? has he ever caused you fear of any type of harm to her in his interactions with her?

3:08 am

mrpresident

I don't hate him, I just don't like him right now. He shows no respect and is abusive. I have to back down cause he does the whole thing infront of the family, and I won't have it.

3:08 am

mrpresident

he loves Maddison, and finds Luke a pain and retarded

3:09 am

Cathyar

if he has, you should not let her see him....if he has not...keep a close eye and explain to your daughter your concerns in a way she will understand..that the distance is actually good for him

3:10 am

Cathyar

i don't blame you one bit...emotional abuse is nasty.

3:10 am

mrpresident

yes, he is emotionally hurting me so much

3:11 am

mrpresident

and the way he treats Lickety??? far out!! like he is just a dog tied up in the corner

3:12 am

mrpresident

they used to be friends, then he told my husband that the only reason he is being nice to him is because he is his brother-in-law and has to deal with him, otherwise, he doesn't particularly like him

3:12 am

Cathyar

maybe it's his way of trying to "control" his world.

3:12 am

Cathyar

wow...that's nasty!

3:13 am

mrpresident

my dad said, the problem with robert and his wife, no one has any control or takes responsibility... they don't know who is in charge of what and just go along with 'whatever'.

3:13 am

Cathyar

he mostly needs his pot supply cut off first....so then he would be forced to deal with his issues...it sounds like

3:13 am

rubyfoo

yay, a monster Sunday grid!

3:13 am

Cathyar

do they have their own kids hun?

3:13 am

mrpresident

yes, I never thought my brother would turn nasty... but he has and it is so so hurtful

3:14 am

mrpresident

they have 1 son, he is 5 and a delight!!

3:14 am

mrpresident

but that is a conversation for another time cath... remind me next time we chat

3:14 am

mrpresident

(((ruby))) **hugs**

3:15 am

mrpresident

I have to go and look at what is happening with dinner... we have kids over and need to feed them!!

MollyL

Hi Brooke, sorry, was off tending to breakfast.

6:46 am

Brookie

No worries. I really should eat something substantial before the kiddos wake up, but this grid is tooooo goooood!

6:46 am

Brookie

How have you been doing?

6:46 am

Maryte

GMorning everyone! :0)

6:46 am

Brookie

Good morning, Maryte!

6:47 am

MollyL

I'm taking things one baby step at a time.

6:47 am

Brookie

Explain?

6:47 am

Maryte

Hi Brookie!

6:47 am

lynxxx

hi Maryte

6:47 am

MollyL

What? Baby steps? I find it the easiest way to get through life most of the time.

6:48 am

Maryte

416! Do we get an extra 24 hours for this one!?!

6:48 am

Brookie

Oh, I didn't know if you were going through some type of adversity. That was my first thought. Hopefully life is running smoothly, though!

6:48 am

MollyL

Raise your hand if you think the Babble Gods were tired of everyone bitching about little grids.

6:49 am

Brookie

Hand raised!

6:49 am

Maryte

got two hands up here :0)

6:50 am

Brookie

I love how random the grids are.

6:50 am

mamabook3

good morning

6:50 am

Brookie

Good morning, mamabook3

6:51 am

mamabook3

i was enjoying the smaller grids. actually finished 2 and got fireworks. don't see that happening with a 416 grid. lol

6:53 am

MollyL

I would have it ignore everything in my life except the computer to finish a grid this size. THAT is not on my priority list. I'll just dabble at it when I can take a break and see how many I can find.

6:56 am

mamabook3

it's easy to get caught up in a grid this size.

6:57 am

mamabook3

luckily the kiddos will be up soon and they'll be sure I don't get too lost! :D

7:15 am

hurshy

to my surprise, some time ago i found that i get more words on a single pass if i go tile by tile than if i just type as i see things... so if you want to maximize...

7:16 am

mamabook3

good tip. I'll have to try that! Thanks

7:18 am

MollyL

Hursh, I think it's less confusing that way.

7:18 am

hurshy

yeah, it focuses the mind so you're less likely to miss plurals and past tenses and stuff

7:20 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! fluffy old detective

7:25 am

fuquayvarina

Miss Marple!

7:25 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

7:25 am

fuquayvarina

good morning, babblers

7:25 am

hurshy

morning

7:26 am

lil*monkey

morning evvyone!

7:27 am

lil*monkey

Hurshy I'm trying the square-by-square technique

7:27 am

mrpresident

evening all :)

7:27 am

MollyL

Marple

7:27 am

fuquayvarina

I've tried that too, and find the same as hurshy, but sometimes I just don't feel that disciplined..

7:27 am

MollyL

Cr4...too late

7:28 am

hurshy

lol, you cr4 but you didn't la4

7:29 am

MollyL

*Off to the PB for ham biscuits*

7:29 am

hurshy

*stomach says grrr, which it thinks should be a word*

7:30 am

mrpresident

put some brie on that for me molly :)

7:31 am

MollyL

Mr. P, I would loose my credentials as a fine Southern woman if I put Brie on a ham biscuit. But you feel free since you have no rep to maintain. : D

7:32 am

mrpresident

sitting out in the pouring rain, under the pergola... but it is coming in from every angle!! computer is covered with plastic... interesting way to use the hardware

7:34 am

mrpresident

oh I have a reputation to maintain, but we do it different here! LOL

7:35 am

hurshy

but the fancy chefs get their reputation boosted if they do something unusual, as long as it's good - so we could just follow that example.

7:36 am

mrpresident

i would put olive tapenade with ham and ambrosia

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

olive tapenade on toasted sourdough . . . with a nice Cote du Rhone -- yum!!

7:39 am

mrpresident

holy moly it is coming down like bricks! I am moving inside people!!

7:41 am

mamabook3

well, 219 words down and the kiddos are calling. Hope everyone has a nice day!

7:41 am

MollyL

Oops, had to get out Aussie dictionary. What y'all call biscuits we call crackers. I was referring to the Bisquick kind of breakfast rolls.

7:43 am

hurshy

i still think brie with ham on american biscuits would be a winning combo.

7:44 am

MollyL

*Looks at her olive, green onion and cream cheese spread for crackers. Feels so American.* : D

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

sounds VERY tasty, Hursh! :-)

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

Molly LOL!

7:45 am

MollyL

Hey, at least it's not spray cheese. : D

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

true!! LOL

7:46 am

Uneaixoise

gotta run -- BBL -- HAGD, everyone! *poof*

7:51 am

redturtlehead

Ooooh Soo excited!!!! a huge grid!!!! and I think I may have the time to complete it!

8:01 am

ChampFit

That's exactly what I was thinking! Good morning all!

8:02 am

redturtlehead

hi champ!

8:02 am

ChampFit

HI red!

8:03 am

redturtlehead

this grid is so fun for the moment. Of course I have 331 left ha ha!

8:04 am

ChampFit

Perfect for a Sunday...in and out all day...wooHOO!

8:05 am

redturtlehead

Yeah, I think I might get exhausted by it but we shall see.

8:05 am

uusue2

morning, all!

8:05 am

ChampFit

morning!

8:05 am

redturtlehead

Hi uusue.

8:06 am

uusue2

imagine that - I look at the grid and I SEE WORDS!!! lol

8:06 am

hurshy

as long as you don't see dead people

8:07 am

uusue2

erm - don't think so, hurshy....

8:07 am

redturtlehead

Not yet anyway. Hi hurshy.

8:09 am

hurshy

is the sixth sense too old to make jokes about now?

8:09 am

MollyL

No Hursh, but I'm wondering if Sue has seen the movie.

8:09 am

ChampFit

nah!

8:09 am

hurshy

i haven't SEEN it

8:09 am

redturtlehead

I think it depends on the audience hursh.

8:09 am

hurshy

it's just part of the cultural whatchamacallit

8:10 am

uusue2

I have not, molly, I am rather dim on contemporary culture

8:10 am

hurshy

i don't watch movies like that, they seem dumb to me.

8:10 am

uusue2

but I will stop worrying about hurshy now :-)

8:11 am

MollyL

Good flick Sue. It's a cleverly written story.

8:11 am

redturtlehead

I've not seen the film, btu I know the joke.

8:12 am

redturtlehead

I am loving this grid, which means in about 100 more words, it will come to a stop. how is everyone doing today??

8:12 am

ChampFit

Still seeing words..

8:12 am

MollyL

They seem dumb?

8:12 am

uusue2

I am ok but shouldn't stick around too long, am supposed to play the piano for services this morning. really bad headaches yesterday, though, from which I am still recovering.

8:13 am

hurshy

yeah horror/scary type movies, i don't see the point in them.

8:13 am

ChampFit

It wasn't scary. I don't do scary.

8:14 am

redturtlehead

I've been waiting to go to the movies, but there is just nothing that really catches my interest, though the Marvel films are semi appealing...

8:14 am

hurshy

oh the new jane eyre was quite good, red

8:15 am

ChampFit

I'm supposed to go see Pirates with my daughter, although may switch to Bridesmaids. Have heard great things about it.

8:16 am

uusue2

ok, time for a teeny bit of exercise then off to the showers - got nbt but it wasn't exactly hard :-)

8:19 am

redturtlehead

they arent showing that in my town Hursh.

8:19 am

redturtlehead

Have a good time with the exercise uusue!

8:19 am

Mom

Hello Mom!!

8:21 am

redturtlehead

I started walking on Friday. though I dont walk very well, it is very nice, and somewhat difficult.

8:21 am

Mom

glad to be rid of the crutches, I bet

8:21 am

Mom

wow, Gran, that is great. Let me see if I have that one. Oh, and good morning

8:22 am

ChampFit

what did you do red? what's with the hip?

8:22 am

redturtlehead

Well, i still have to use them outside of the house, but inside, I can go to the bathroom and kitchen independently, which is Nice!!

8:22 am

ladycece920

8:24 am

gran

Thanks for that Ladycece and finished!

8:24 am

redturtlehead

Champ I tore my labrum, and it was discovered that my hip had extra bone creating an impingement, so they did some boney work and sewed back the labrum, no running until September or November they think...

8:24 am

Mom

Morning Hurshy, that is great

8:24 am

redturtlehead

Nice job Hursh.

8:24 am

Mom

congratulations Gran!

8:24 am

ChampFit

I have a friend who will need that surgery one day red! You sound like you're doing well. How odd..it's not a common thing, is it?

8:25 am

hurshy

got most of the 8's but not the 9 - what's it start with?

8:25 am

Mom

co Hurshy

8:25 am

Mom

co 9/60

8:25 am

Well, the surgery is new-ish. and hopefully it worked. Its really hard to know. I can barely walk now.

8:26 am

ChampFit

Did you have it done in Florida? My friend is really trying to avoid it...that recovery is long...

8:26 am

hurshy

co is a prefix on it?

8:27 am

hurshy

oh no, well sort of, technically... got it.

8:27 am

redturtlehead

I had it done right here in my town, we have a new guy who just finished a fellowship for it. I tried to avoid it too, my advice is to get it done. I had no idea how much pain I was in . I can not believe I ran a marathon with that pain.

8:27 am

Mom

I don't think so

8:27 am

Mom

oh good you got it

8:28 am

hurshy

i mean etymologically it is co and re6 but then you add the extra r and it makes it look like not a prefix.

8:28 am

ChampFit

I don't think she has constant pain yet, although she has been diagnosed with the tear. If she gets closer to it, may ask to put you two in touch, if that would be ok.

8:28 am

Mom

exactly Hurshy :-)

8:29 am

redturtlehead

No problem. they say that 97% of cadavers have labral tears, so it may not be the tear that is causing her occasional pain. the recovery is terribly long. But I am still glad to be out of the pain I was in, I am not good at rating it and so I constatntly said it was a 2. probably was more like a 7.

8:30 am

hurshy

i think that is the first time i have ever heard a statistic about cadavers.

8:31 am

ChampFit

I'm just glad you got it taken care of red. Hopefully this will do the trick, and your biggest concern will be not going stir crazy!

8:31 am

hurshy

although come to think of it i know another one

8:31 am

Mom

how long will you be off work, Red

8:31 am

hurshy

they say that 100% of cadavers are dead.

8:32 am

ChampFit

I sure hope so, hursh!

8:32 am

hurshy

mitten is being weird

8:32 am

hurshy

she comes and cuddles for like two minutes, then leaves, then comes back

8:33 am

Mom

Hurshy, you have a new cat?

8:33 am

hurshy

no

8:33 am

hurshy

same old cats :)

8:33 am

Mom

I thought you just had the one

8:34 am

ChampFit

going to get some breakfast...bbl!

8:34 am

hurshy

oh no, i have three. have had for 11 years.

8:34 am

Mom

bye bye Champ

8:34 am

Mom

I bet they are company to one another

8:34 am

hurshy

yes

8:35 am

hurshy

people think cats are not social but they are much more than you would think

8:35 am

hurshy

i would always advise people who work full time to get two cats instead of one.

8:35 am

hurshy

preferably two from the same litter so they already get along.

8:36 am

Mom

forthe most part I think they are social.

8:36 am

Mom

and I think they understand what you say to them

8:36 am

hurshy

well, depends what you say :)

8:37 am

hurshy

if i discourse about philosophy, i don't think they understand that.

8:37 am

Mom

this is true

8:37 am

hurshy

but they know when i'm telling them to do something or whatever, for sure

8:37 am

Mom

agreed

8:37 am

hurshy

they like to pretend they don't sometimes

8:37 am

hurshy

more convenient for them.

8:37 am

Mom

unless the word is "eat"

8:38 am

hurshy

"what? sorry, i'm just a cat, my english not so good"

8:38 am

Mom

"what do you mean, get down from there"

8:39 am

hurshy

marty is very good about doing what i tell him, but not good about STOPPING when i tell him not to do something (namely bother his sisters).

8:40 am

hurshy

he always comes when i call him. sometimes it takes longer if he's sleeping, but he eventually makes it.

8:40 am

Mom

I am glad they have each other

8:41 am

redturtlehead

sorry about the cadaver stats, It does sound wierd. Mom I am off work at least until july, I may take another 2 weeks...

8:41 am

hurshy

i did not mind the cadaver stat. it was new and interesting.

8:41 am

Mom

That will give you a lot of time to rest up, I am glad you will be off that long

8:42 am

redturtlehead

yes, but I am bored. Still, with all the Physical therapy and stuff there is not a lot of real boredom.

8:42 am

Mom

I would imagine you would be, you seem like you want to keep busy.

8:43 am

redturtlehead

i am trying to make a quilt, as well, but that is not going so good as I have trouble sitting at the 90 degree angle.

8:43 am

sprite

good afternoon all

8:43 am

redturtlehead

SPRITE! HELLO!

8:43 am

Mom

Red, please post a picture of the quilt, I would love to see it.

8:43 am

hurshy

it's such a good feeling to know you're a cat
it's such a happy feeling to think about that
and when you wake up ready to meow
you feel so happy that you know how
it's such a good feeling, a very good feeling, the feeling you know you're a cat

8:43 am

sprite

hey red, how are you healing up?

8:43 am

Mom

hi SS

9:13 am

Nef

Good Morning Fellow Babblers. My page is all messed up here again today; anyone else having problems here? How can I fix this?

9:14 am

sprite

hi nef

9:15 am

sprite

nothing wrong here so far, but big grids tend to be a bit buggy. You could try control + F5.

9:15 am

MLFAN17

stats for the L in the top left corner please?

9:16 am

sprite

lo4/4 and lo5/10

9:16 am

MLFAN17

thank you sprite

9:17 am

sprite

don't have the 3rd one yet

9:17 am

MLFAN17

got it duhh

9:17 am

Nef

hi sprite. Last night when I was here each time I entered anything in chog; my view of chog would shrink. My tile stats "grid" has 1 line of the 1st 4 letters across, then the next line is the 5th column letter. Every other line is like that . Word stats are listed in 1 column in a 13 line list. list

9:18 am

sprite

sometimes cleaning out the cache will fix that, Nef. No luck with control + F5? (After clicking somewhere on this page)

9:19 am

sprite

lo6/18 is the 3rd from the top L

9:20 am

MLFAN17

4TH COLUMN BOTTOM E stats please?

9:21 am

grant

el5/10

9:22 am

MLFAN17

for both Es?

9:22 am

sprite

hi grant. el4/4 too

9:22 am

grant

hey sprite

9:22 am

Nef

I've tried clearing the cache, Control F5 does nothing; and rebooting and refreshing doesn't help. HOwever, the chog isn't shrinking today; so I'll try entering words and see what happens.

9:23 am

MLFAN17

can someone clue it please?

9:23 am

grant

snaky fish

9:23 am

MLFAN17

grant thats for the other e its a plural

9:23 am

sprite

how very frustrating, Nef.
The snaky fish comes from the E above it. Listen to me or el**.

9:24 am

grant

9:43 am

redturtlehead

I'm doing well nef, send you a message via FB this morning, I think.

9:44 am

crosshair

9:44 am

nef, it would drive me bananas.

9:44 am

sprite

hiya crossy :)

9:45 am

9:45 am

Nef

sprite

bye Nef, so sorry :(

9:47 am

redturtlehead

Nef Cross may be able to fix.

9:48 am

crosshair

crossy knows many free programs to fix glitches:)

9:49 am

sprite

nef cannot see the site correctly. Grid isn't functioning, wordlist is in wrong place, chog isn't complete. Sounds like chog isn't loading completely, which could cause some of those troubles.

9:50 am

sprite

relogging, rebooting, control + F5 and cleaning out cache has not helped her

9:50 am

crosshair

sounds like a cashe issues as well..you still here nef?

9:51 am

crosshair

if you are,go here http://www.oldversion.com/download-CCl
eaner-3.07.1457.html and use this program

9:51 am

crosshair

has she used c cleaner?

9:51 am

sprite

no I don't think so yet

9:51 am

crosshair

it also cleans the registry

9:52 am

crosshair

imho,it is a must have for all

9:52 am

sprite

9:52 am

crosshair

it is one of the first things i load when doing a new computer build..right after avg and google chrome lol

9:53 am

sprite

hehehe so you are happy with google chrome?

9:53 am

crosshair

then win zip,win rar and vlc media

9:54 am

crosshair

it is great sprite,twice as fast as firefox,and as far as IE is concerned i cannot wait to get it disabled

9:54 am

sprite

after the last crash I made a folder with all the intall files and such. On a separate hard disk.

9:54 am

sprite

ok will try chrome then. I was waiting a bit to hear from others.

9:54 am

sprite

inStall* files

9:55 am

crosshair

i am using chrome as we speak

9:55 am

crosshair

and chrome has an added feature called incognito

9:55 am

sprite

leaving no IP?

9:56 am

rastapopolous

Does Chrome do Mac? I'm just using Safari.

9:56 am

crosshair

it opens a window where you can surf and do everything you normally do but it will not create any leftover cookies..it is like you were never on the net

9:56 am

crosshair

mac??...ewwww...i am not sure... let me check

9:57 am

crosshair

yes they do...

9:57 am

crosshair

http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=

9:58 am

sprite

that is nice, crossy!

9:58 am

crosshair

it is fast,fast,fast

9:59 am

sprite

am downloading it now

9:59 am

sprite

am downloading it now

9:59 am

crosshair

though i keep firefox in bacground as back up..as for IE,i have not used it in 6 years:)

10:00 am

sprite

sorry

10:00 am

sprite

IE is a rotten prog

10:00 am

crosshair

i am the king og typos,no need to say sorry to me

10:00 am

sprite

hehehe but you are fully understandable, crossy

10:01 am

crosshair

ie has only one distinction..it is the browser that loads more browsers than any other browser...hehe

10:02 am

sprite

roflol!

10:05 am

crosshair

when you get your first google page up sprite,you will see a little black wrench in top left corner,click on that and you will have access to your incognito page

10:05 am

crosshair

top right*

10:06 am

crosshair

and your history cleanr is there for the normal page as well

10:08 am

Ouwachita

I recently swithed to IE9 and now when I copy my list to lickety's it won't add the words...tells me there are too many spaces...is there a fix for this?

10:08 am

crosshair

sorry ouwachita..my fix was to stop using IE years ago:))

10:09 am

sprite

ok thanks crossy, will check it out. Not enough themes though :( I want my firefox theme in my chrome browser!

10:09 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

10:09 am

crosshair

it will import your ff settings

10:09 am

rubyfoo

mucho computer trouble today!

10:09 am

sprite

hi ouwachita, you could try in phases?

10:09 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo

10:09 am

crosshair

((RUBY))

10:09 am

crosshair

talk to crossy ruby tuesday..whats the prob with computer?

10:10 am

rubyfoo

it totally shut down, power and all, 3 times

10:10 am

crosshair

when is the last time the innards were cleaned for dust bunnies?

10:11 am

crosshair

all computers have a over heat shut down feature,and this often happens when you get dust bunnies behind the internal fans and hte heat sinks over the cpu chip get clogged

10:12 am

rubyfoo

that is probably it, not that you would impugn [sp?] my housekeeping or anything, crossy

10:12 am

rubyfoo

arras

10:12 am

crosshair

the cleanest howse will generate dust in the computer tower

10:13 am

Nef

HI again. Crossy, I closed and rebooted; then checked archives (which I CAN read! Go figure!) and saw your suggestion. That CC cleaner (or whatever) doesn't work on a Mac. But I've switched to Safari and at least stuff LOOKS normal there, but the chog is still loading

10:13 am

sprite

crossy, hij weigert alleen mijn bladwijzers te importeren vanaf firefox

10:13 am

rubyfoo

sorry, pb for me

10:13 am

Nef

(I'm chatting on FF now)

10:13 am

crosshair

i do not speak dutch:)

10:13 am

sprite

it will load slowly, Nef, because it is so big today

10:14 am

rubyfoo

go figure, everybody in the Netherlands speaks English and nobody outside the Newtherlands speaks Dutch (except my first husband....lol)

10:14 am

crosshair

eww...another mac..i am sorry lol

10:14 am

sprite

jeezzz how stupid of me! Crossy, it refuses to import my favorites from firefox

10:14 am

Nef

OKay! Now can do this in Safari! things look normal now! :-D

10:14 am

rubyfoo

how are you sprite, haven't seen you in a while

10:14 am

crosshair

let me look at it a moment sprite...brb

10:14 am

sprite

that is gr5, Nef! Wb!

10:15 am

sprite

ruby, not too good atm, but will be in a while. Building noise should be mostly over, just a few more bad days to come over the next couple of weeks.

10:15 am

crosshair

sprite.click the wrench,go to options,then personal stuff.,then import settings

10:16 am

rubyfoo

I am sorry to hear that; you should come here. The loudest noise is the birds, especially the merle who is singing arias to me

10:16 am

sprite

and I did talk with the neighbour about it, she apologised for not honoring our agreement and gave us a bouquet and a written apology to make up for it. That did a load of good.

10:16 am

sprite

yeah, I tried that several times already, crossy

10:17 am

rubyfoo

and we had a couple of days of rain, so the garden looks wonderful and I might actually have figs this year!

10:17 am

MollyL

Sprite, not to overstate the obvious, but do you have Firefox open when you're doing that?

10:17 am

rubyfoo

10:17 am

crosshair

problem is ladies,i do not do macs,crossy like a regular tower that i can rip the guts out of and update at will:)..so mac issues can confuddle crossy

10:18 am

Nef

crossy, you at least reminded me that I HAVE other browsers!

10:18 am

sprite

mine is a windows, crossy :)

Hiya Molly :) No I haven't. Should I?

10:18 am

crosshair

indeed ,nef,switch to another if you have issues

10:18 am

rubyfoo

I have to go make dinner with 175 left in this lovely grid.

10:19 am

rubyfoo

Hope to see some of you later!

10:19 am

crosshair

clean them dust bunnies ruby:))

10:19 am

sprite

have fun, rubyfoo

10:19 am

rubyfoo

BTW, sprite, here is your dog again hahah

10:19 am

MollyL

No you shouldn't, I just wondered if that was the problem.

10:19 am

crosshair

but ground yourself before you take side of tower

10:19 am

sprite

crossy, it won't go

10:20 am

sprite

lol yes rubyfoo, te5 is a loyal one

10:20 am

rubyfoo

I am not famous for my dusting.....

10:20 am

crosshair

inside the computer i meant darlin:)

10:20 am

rubyfoo

stupid question: how do I ground myself?

10:20 am

rururocks

I do it the old fashioned way entering them one at a time

10:20 am

sprite

me neither, rubyfoo. But cleaning out the computer is really necessary. It will go poof on you when there is too much dust for the ventilator.

10:20 am

rubyfoo

hi hi ru ru

10:20 am

crosshair

indeed ruru,failing all else,enter each one manually

10:21 am

rubyfoo

and it's starting to make the "hairball" noise again, so that must be it

10:21 am

sprite

yes I can do that, but I wonder why the import option does not work. hello ruru.

10:21 am

crosshair

you can ground yourself prior to opening the computer by rubbing your hand on the outside of the case for 15 seconds

10:21 am

crosshair

make sure power is unplugged

10:21 am

rubyfoo

promise?

10:21 am

crosshair

promise

10:21 am

rubyfoo

my hair is already curly, don't need a shock....

10:22 am

crosshair

i use tooth picks and q tips to dislodge dust bunnies

10:22 am

sprite

I know better things to rub for that period of time

10:22 am

crosshair

an old soft make up brush is also good

10:22 am

rubyfoo

glad you said that about the power, I would have left it on. Duh me.

10:22 am

crosshair

lol..

10:22 am

crosshair

not even gonna touch that one

10:22 am

crosshair

not just off..unplugged

10:22 am

sprite

NEVER work the interior of computers with the power on, rubyfoo. Please.

10:23 am

sprite

you cannot rub without touching, silly crossy

10:23 am

rubyfoo

naughty sprite! you must be feeling better

10:23 am

sprite

not really, lol, but my bad spirit is unbeatable. You should know that by now.

10:23 am

crosshair

lol

10:24 am

Nef

my! it doesn't take long to stray off topic here; even on a Sunday! ;-)

10:24 am

rururocks

I didn't say anything!

10:24 am

sprite

lol... when I was delivering our Tim into the world, the doctor said at one point to my husband: She won't be so flippant anymore later on!
And then he had to come back about 12 hours later, in the night, because everything went wrong. And I said something to him and he cried out to my husband: I don't believe it, she is still that flippant!

10:24 am

rubyfoo

forgive us nef, it has already been a long day.

10:24 am

Nef

It's because you are here, ruru! You don't have to say a word

10:24 am

crosshair

most intel and amd motherboards ,will have a 2 inch cpu fan on the board held on by a spring clip or 4 screws..when you remove the fan you will see the heat sink fin...usually full of dust bunnies

10:25 am

sprite

look nef, what can I say? I log on, I see I won't get orgasm today. That kind of sets the tone.

10:25 am

rubyfoo

10:25 am

crosshair

10:26 am

crosshair

and a cold shower for sprite lol

10:26 am

Nef

LOL! I'm not offended; I love this place! (been dealing with too much bad "stuff" lately, so I need a good laugh!

And hope to never have one again. lol

11:01 am

Hi krista. Just starting

HAZ!!!

11:26 am

Krista

11:26 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all. Hello, hego.

11:26 am

hego

How are you. How is Spangle?

11:27 am

jesdraggon

thanks, haz

11:27 am

Haz1558

I'm fine and she's getting older but still in good form.

11:27 am

hego

Great!

11:28 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, jesdraggon.

11:29 am

rururocks

how old is she now haz?

11:30 am

Haz1558

She was 10 last November - not showing signs of arthritis or anything but just that bit more reluctant to exercise than she used to be.

11:30 am

Haz1558

She shows a fine burst of speed when we're heading for home so there's clearly nothing wrong with her!

11:31 am

rururocks

oh.. a couch potato type

11:31 am

hego

I do the same thing. It's age related.

11:32 am

Haz1558

She always used to 'circulate' with excitement when I produced the lead. Now she kind of comes with an air of resignation. She's just too comfortable inside.

11:32 am

rururocks

*princess*

11:32 am

hego

I relate

11:33 am

rururocks

will we see FM again ?

11:34 am

Haz1558

Oh, I'm sure she'll pop in now and again, ruru, no word of her abandoning babble completely.

11:34 am

hego

<... taking self to PB...

11:34 am

Krista

Does BabbleRabble still play?

11:34 am

rururocks

11:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, Krista, he does.

11:35 am

Nef

yes, BR is still here off and on

11:35 am

Haz1558

I don't know if other older players feel the same but I certainly don't chat as much as I used to although I still do the grid every day.

11:35 am

Krista

Ah, haven't seen him lately since I've been back to it.

11:35 am

hego

Hi Nef

11:36 am

Krista

Right, Haz. I'm the same. I'm up to seven years this month.

11:36 am

Krista

I don't do the grid every day, but don't chat as much.

11:36 am

Nef

hi Hego, Krista, Haz and all. I've been having page layout problems; so trying to catch up and not chat as much today

11:37 am

hego

Most pop in and out.

11:37 am

Haz1558

Gosh, you've been babbling a long time, Krista!

11:38 am

Krista

Yes, long time for a game, huh. I remember you, Saddy.

11:38 am

Haz1558

I've got you in my card reference file somewhere, filed under 'used to chat'.

11:38 am

SaddySolar

lol

11:39 am

Haz1558

It's funny seeing new people appear, becoming all addicted and new-fangled with the game etc. I just feel rather jaded sometimes with chat.

11:39 am

Nef

LOL, Haz! I hope I never end up in the wrong file! ;-)

11:39 am

SaddySolar

i became a member about 4 years ago... uswd to play a couple of years before that too

11:40 am

Krista

lol Nef...i like chat, just get so sucked into it then before I know it, hours have passed

11:41 am

hego

I feel like a baby at 1 1/2 years.

11:41 am

Haz1558

Just don't set the old-time babblers off on their memories of having to babble by candlelight.

11:42 am

hego

:-D

11:42 am

Nef

no hego; don't feel like that. I've "known" you for most of that time! You do chat! :-)

LOL Haz...or...**shudders** dial-up

11:44 am

Haz1558

I do remember when entering every word caused the page to flash.

11:44 am

Nef

See, I've just recently "met" origami; because I hadn't seen her in chat before (or didn't chat/play when I was around); so she's newer to me than some others who may have been here slower

11:45 am

Nef

"slower?" I don't know where that came from!

11:45 am

rastapopolous

Ok, I'm totally stuck on the re7/28, the last one after the re7/32. I have been to morewords and everything. Can anyone help?

11:45 am

jesdraggon

11:45 am

Krista

Oh, I had forgotten about that flash thing! Off for a bit. Nice to see you ladies. Ruru, you can come back now (he always disappears when I chat).

11:46 am

jesdraggon

11:46 am

Hi Flosey

flosey

hi hego

1:58 pm

Aloyisius

Hi Babblers!

2:00 pm

hego

Hi Aloy

2:01 pm

flosey

hi Aloy

2:02 pm

Aloyisius

hi Hego.. hi flosey - guess everyone is buried in the grid.. nice big one for a Sunday, not too many weirdo words either (-:

2:03 pm

flosey

true Aloy, but it is also a gorgeous day outside!

2:03 pm

hego

my eyes are getting fuzzy.

2:04 pm

Aloyisius

have been at it for a while, on and off.. started at the flip and have come back twice after other activities.. flosey, it is in the 50's, overcast here..

2:05 pm

flosey

ah, we've (finally) arrived at planting weather - hubby's going from dawn to dusk

2:06 pm

Aloyisius

but I have to go out when I finish and clean up a mess.. a raccoon tried to swing on our hanging bird feeder, fell off, and knocked over a big planter on the deck railing, so lots of dirt and pieces of pottery.. sigh

2:06 pm

flosey

ah, what a mess, those cute critters can be so destructful

2:08 pm

JBV

hello, again, back from my walk - and aloy, sorry to laugh, but your raccoon and my squirrel are keeping us quite busy!

2:09 pm

Aloyisius

indeed.. last year one climbed up on the deck post, walked out on the railing holding our wren's nest gourd, knocked it down.. so now we have a baffle built over the wren's nest.. so far, so good.

2:09 pm

JBV

Mine managed to dig up some nice juicy gladiolus bulbs I planted this spring - I kept going out there and replanting wherever I could - I now have 18 flowers coming up (out of 48 planted!)

2:09 pm

flosey

ah, how discouraging jbv

2:09 pm

Aloyisius

trying to outsmart raccoons and squirrels.. losing proposition

2:10 pm

JBV

I know, isn't it amazing with those tiny brains what they can do?

2:10 pm

JBV

does anyone else have this problem - our squirrels have been gnawing/chewing (eating???) the plastic lids of Rubbermaid garbage pails - not only mine - all the neighbors are noticing it

2:11 pm

flosey

when we moved out here, I was planning to have a garden of iris - planted one, it bloomed with the most beautiful pale pink blooms, 3 on the one stalk, good thing I took a picture - next year it was gone

2:11 pm

Aloyisius

we thought we had erected the bird food stand so that squirrels couldn't reach the feeder.. hah! Hubby watched as one of the critters actually used the pool screen as a trampoline to "bounce" over to the feeder.. so the feeder was moved

2:11 pm

JBV

they make a big enough hole to climb in and find the tre asure

2:12 pm

flosey

we had squirrel problem in Ontario but not here, just the raccoons

2:12 pm

flosey

and deer, and bunnies and wild turkeys

2:12 pm

Aloyisius

h'mm, sounds like the natural foods of the squirrels are depleted this year.. no acorns to store?

2:12 pm

JBV

I'll tell you the whole sad story, for anyone who needs a laugh: so I had two lids with holes, came up with the ingenious solution of layering them so there was no access for the critters, then the garbagemen came and left me with only one lid!

2:13 pm

Aloyisius

oh groan, JBV

2:13 pm

flosey

ah, that's annoying - probably took off first lid and heaved the remains!

2:13 pm

JBV

and...... you CANNOT go to the store and just buy lids, trust me, I tried it

2:14 pm

JBV

well, it was pretty hole-y, so I don't blame them for thinking it was garbage :)

2:14 pm

flosey

that's odd because you'd think there'd be a market for second lids

2:14 pm

redturtlehead

I think you need to call the garbage service! Hello all.

2:14 pm

JBV

I'm going to try contacting Rubbermaid directly

2:14 pm

Aloyisius

hi red!

2:15 pm

Aloyisius

maybe some ammonia spray?

2:15 pm

flosey

good thought jbv

2:15 pm

JBV

hi red, that would be an absolutely wasted call, I'm sure -they will politely take notes and that's that

2:15 pm

redturtlehead

Aloy, hello! and Hi Flosey and jb and everyone.

2:15 pm

flosey

hi again red

2:15 pm

Aloyisius

haven't tried it, but heard it is effective

2:15 pm

JBV

I tried the spray, Aloy- paid $14.99 for a critter repellent at the garden center

2:15 pm

flosey

I've been in and out all day - trying also to look busy around the house

2:15 pm

JBV

that was probably their appetizer

2:16 pm

redturtlehead

Not even sure they would take notes.

2:16 pm

JBV

LOL

2:16 pm

JBV

we're laughing, at least I don't have a bear problem (yet)

2:16 pm

redturtlehead

I would like to finish this grid, as I really have nothing else to do...

2:16 pm

JBV

squirrels are just cute

2:16 pm

flosey

love your icon red

2:17 pm

JBV

that can't be true, red, just nothing else you want to do, right?

2:17 pm

Aloyisius

and chipmunks! we have them and a family of groundhogs

2:17 pm

flosey

we've had a bear up the hill behind the house - hubby called a neighbour and it was gone in no time

2:17 pm

JBV

groundhogs not so cute, ALoy, they do a lot of damage to lawns

2:18 pm

redturtlehead

Well JBV, I am still sort of stuck laying about, so I have very little I *CAN* do.

2:18 pm

JBV

one of them dug under a neighbor's pool which collapsed the whole thing

2:18 pm

flosey

also, same neighbour killed a wolf up the hill behind our property - he keeps sheep up there

2:18 pm

JBV

oh, sorry, red, I forgot - how are you doing??

2:18 pm

redturtlehead

My Dad hates Groudhogs.

2:18 pm

Aloyisius

well, I've watched them a lot JBV.. they seem to like the plantain weeds in the lawn, so I don't mind.. they just better stay away from my flowers

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

I am doing pretty well, I think. I am walking more, but I Lurch which is un amusing but I dont know how to stop it.

2:19 pm

JBV

I also notice our neighborhood groundhog is very skittish and runs away as soon as he catches sight of me - that's good

2:19 pm

Kazzer99

back now all - been lurking - grid was so big - wanted to finish tonight so i have got my fireworks

2:19 pm

JBV

you had surgery on your knee? forgive me, I've been out of the loop a little

2:20 pm

flosey

hi Kazz

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

Hip. My knees are awesome.

2:20 pm

Aloyisius

yes, I bang on the window if they get close to the flowers.. and they scurry like crazy back to their burrow

2:20 pm

flosey

and congrats,

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

Congrats Kazzer!

2:20 pm

JBV

hip, oh, sounds like more recovery time

2:20 pm

Aloyisius

yay, wahoo for Kazzer, congrats!!!

2:20 pm

Kazzer99

thanks Red - its quite a big grid today

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

It is apparently a lot more complicated, but..I am "Progressing as expected" and thats all I need at the moment.

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

the Grid is HUUUUUUUUUge!

2:21 pm

Kazzer99

was it a hip replacement

2:22 pm

Aloyisius

wishing you a full and speedy recovery, red.. have a friend who is so glad he had hip surgery, has dramatically improved the quality of his life

2:23 pm

Kazzer99

my mum in law had a new hip and she never looked back - took about 3 months for it all to settle down but she's great now

2:23 pm

redturtlehead

No replacement, they cut off some bone and repaired some cartilidge. Oddly, it is a longer recovery than the total hip replacement, but, I should be able to keep my hip forever, and run whih is a big deal.

2:23 pm

Kazzer99

right folks off to watch the rest of he Canadian Grand Prix - its stopped because of the rain

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

congrats again Kazzer, this was a massive grid!

2:27 pm

uusue2

hi again all, another big blowup btw my son and his gf, he came home with a bloody mouth and says she didn't do it. WTF?????

2:27 pm

JBV

best wishes, red - hope it's easy and quick so you can get back to your old self

2:27 pm

uusue2

sorry but this is driving me absolutely bananas.

2:27 pm

JBV

oh dear

2:28 pm

Aloyisius

oh oh

2:28 pm

flosey

wow, sue, she sounds quite violent

2:28 pm

uusue2

and then he says I am being selfish for asking him about it. I am so mad and frustrated!!!

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

I think your son needs a new GF. or No GF for a bit. MY goodness!

2:29 pm

Aloyisius

think that relationship is or should be history?

2:29 pm

JBV

yes, but he doesn't want to hear it from his mom, tough spot to be in , sue

2:29 pm

uusue2

she smashed his bedroom door last week, and I didn't call the cops on her b/c he didn't want them involved.

2:29 pm

flosey

ah sue, the thanks you get for caring!

2:30 pm

uusue2

but if she ever sets foot on my property again I am calling them right away and having her arrested for trespassing.

2:30 pm

uusue2

sigh.

2:30 pm

flosey

or get a restraining order?

2:30 pm

uusue2

she's doing this partly because the summer semester starts tomorrow - she does everything she can to wreck his studies

2:31 pm

uusue2

I can't, flosey, because I don't have a relationship with her, although I'm seeing a lawyer tomorrow to see what my options are.

2:31 pm

flosey

wow, he's better off without that one

2:31 pm

flosey

hope your lawyer can help, sue

2:31 pm

uusue2

anyway I will slink off again for a while. sorry to ruin the chog.

how old is he uusue? he doesn't have to live at home and maybe if he had to pay for he repairs he would clue in sooner

2:32 pm

Aloyisius

glad you could vent, sue.. tc

2:32 pm

flosey

not at all, better to get it off your chest

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

Venting is fine. and sue I just dont get how he feels htis is behaviro he wants in life.

2:33 pm

uusue2

he's 21, bugs, and I am paying to put him through college. maybe I should cut the strings but jobs are really hard to find; he is very smart and has a good future if he gets an education and skills. I don't want to dump him out on the street. (Her, on the other hand...)

2:33 pm

Bugsaw

abuse works both ways red. the abuser is very skilled at making it the victims fault and they start to believe it after a while

2:33 pm

JBV

here's some good news - just saw a photo of Gabrielle Giffords online - smiling, looking great

2:34 pm

Aloyisius

Bugsaw

one of my sons is in a situation like that uusue but he won't leave because she will take the children. she was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder after the police were called and things are a bit better now

2:36 pm

uusue2

fortunately no kids involved here, bugs, but he's been in this relationship for 4 years now - I worry that it's really ruined him for a normal one

2:37 pm

Bugsaw

no kids may be the only blessing inthis situation then!

2:37 pm

uusue2

this girl has had the police called on her before - her own father had her arrested once - but she doesn't have any health care coverage so can't really get help

2:38 pm

uusue2

anyway I am going to go sit downstairs and make sure she doesn't come around. bbl.

2:38 pm

Aloyisius

last word ts5.12: t + ***i* Hawkins Day..

2:38 pm

Bugsaw

is she living in your home? perhaps you can get marital counselling for them because they are family and let someone else help him see the light

2:39 pm

Bugsaw

YAY and thanks Aloysius

4:50 pm

Scrabbler

Sebastian was 9 yrs 1 mo--the oldest bunny that I have ever had. 6-8 yrs is usual lifespan. I had 2 others reach 7.5 yrs. Miss Bea is at least 4 (was a rescue), Tucker is 6 and Gandalf is 7.

4:50 pm

lynxxx

4:51 pm

Scrabbler

Nope, Min

4:51 pm

westford

4:51 pm

periwinkle

4:51 pm

crosshair

i used firefox for 3 years and for the last 2 i have been using google chrome

4:52 pm

Minveryork

4:52 pm

Scrabbler

I haven't used IE in 10 yrs--I use Firefox.

4:52 pm

4:52 pm

Glantarell

I use firefox too

4:52 pm

periwinkle

try again Min, or turn computer off and on again or just reboot

4:52 pm

crosshair

i do not use expert

4:53 pm

4:53 pm

periwinkle

A's done!

4:53 pm

Kallia

Minveryork

Doesn't matter because I gave up on the grid anyway

4:53 pm

Min, You need to 'Continue' using the script or it will truncate the word list (though they will all still be there)

4:53 pm

crosshair

4:53 pm

crosshair

4:57 pm

periwinkle

And, Une, my columbines are really spectacular this spring--very tall and beautiful.

5:19 pm

Uneaixoise

wonderful! We had such an insane amount of rain earlier in the spring, and extended cool weather (NO LONGER!!) -- my flowers went nuts -- armloads of peonies, then hydrangeas, and now lilies :-)

5:19 pm

Scrabbler

Our pets become such a part of our daily routines and they give us so much love.

5:20 pm

Uneaixoise

Scrabs, I don't know what I'd do without my adopted 4-legged girls . . .

5:20 pm

Uneaixoise

you should post some pix of your columbines!

5:22 pm

westford

hi une how do you keep your hydrangeas from taking over?

5:22 pm

stidgmere

There is a tiny bunny eating grasses in front of our house even as I do this infernal grid. So we do make connections even wehn we don't think about it.

5:22 pm

5:26 pm

5:27 pm

5:52 pm

Shirlockc

5:52 pm

Uneaixoise

have them make outfits that look like what people will be wearing in the future . . .

5:52 pm

Uneaixoise

used el cheapo materials

5:52 pm

carleekat

i thought about decoupage as a friday night chill out craft ( victorian era)... we staying in a park that has a native indian village ... i was thinking tie dye for the 70's and we doing a backwards meal....( dessert first )

5:52 pm

uusue2

in NM, yes, scrabs, at least when I lived there in the 70s

5:52 pm

carleekat

we are at camp....in the woods... in tents....

5:52 pm

Uneaixoise

carlee, sounds like you've already got it nailed down!!

5:53 pm

carleekat

they wont be beinging surplus costuming stuffs....

5:53 pm

uusue2

how about living without modern conveniences, carlee - see if they can figure out how to get food and water, how to make clothes, how to get rid of garbage and waste...

5:53 pm

carleekat

bringing* even

5:53 pm

Uneaixoise

was just thinking construction paper, tape, staples

5:54 pm

uusue2

how to clean (house, clothes)

5:54 pm

Uneaixoise

sue's seizing teachable moments!!!

5:54 pm

westford

there's always music

5:54 pm

carleekat

construction paper etc is too... young for teens am afraid

5:54 pm

Uneaixoise

music, yes!!!

5:54 pm

carleekat

we do that all the time at camp sue...

5:55 pm

Scrabbler

I like Sue's idea.

5:55 pm

carleekat

no hydro.... so no music... and music is a pollution in the park..this is girl guides

5:55 pm

uusue2

well, I know you don't exactly have those things, but figuring out how to do it long term is a little different

5:55 pm

westford

can't have a sing-a-long?

5:55 pm

carleekat

the girls practise "no impact' all time when camping..not disturbing flora and fauna...

5:56 pm

carleekat

we do sing along at campfire all time...

5:56 pm

Uneaixoise

and the woods have built-in percussion instruments!

5:56 pm

westford

okay you said no music

5:56 pm

uusue2

<--- spent a summer as a camp counselor in a girl guides camp many years ago

5:56 pm

carleekat

we leave everything in place une...

5:56 pm

carleekat

a broken log is home to all the wee bugs that break it down.. we dont disturb

5:56 pm

Uneaixoise

yeah, I just saw the "no impact" clause

5:57 pm

carleekat

i thought u meant take a stereo for music from across the years...

5:57 pm

westford

we used to have fun with baby pictures..guessing who is who

5:58 pm

westford

is this overnight camp all week?

5:58 pm

carleekat

we do that at our first meeting of the year ( or next to first )- the baby pic thing

5:58 pm

Uneaixoise

ok, back in a mo *poof*

5:58 pm

uusue2

well, then, how about imagining how the surroundings would have looked x years ago - 10 (should be easy), 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, and so on - the shorter times are easy, just smaller trees and whatnot but as you get farther out it takes more imagination.

5:58 pm

carleekat

all weekend....2 nights...leave fri and back sun

5:58 pm

uusue2

When did this tree start to grow? How did this rock get here? and then you could go forward also...

5:58 pm

westford

sounds like so much fun

5:59 pm

carleekat

that would be a good discussion whilst they preparing their meals..ok...cool

5:59 pm

carleekat

it would be west if it was my first of these camps this summer..but is my 3rd in 4 weeks

6:00 pm

uusue2

6:00 pm

westford

do you have assistants and do you like them?

6:00 pm

uusue2

(probably somebody should stop me, lol)

6:00 pm

westford

sue is volunteering I can tell

6:00 pm

carleekat

6:02 pm

6:03 pm

westford

6:03 pm

we have at other camps...yes lynxxx...but that depends on cloud cover...so is not always an option

6:03 pm

uusue2

actually over long enough periods of time the stars won't even look the same - they move around

6:04 pm

westford

will your activities help them earn a badge or two?

6:04 pm

carleekat

( which is why i am the 13th zodiac sign )

6:04 pm

uusue2

and the direction of the north pole makes a big circle in the sky that takes about 26,000 years to complete

6:04 pm

carleekat

yes....will earn them parts of a badge

6:04 pm

westford

well I'll be damned lol

6:04 pm

westford

I always thought the north was constant

6:05 pm

lynxxx

they are going to be out there for 26,000 years !!! that's one looong weekend

6:05 pm

carleekat

eventually too... wont the weather be reversed too...winter in dec for australia and vice versa?

6:06 pm

uusue2

well, we mess with the calendar so that doesn't happen, carlee (leap seconds and whatnot so it stays pretty much the same)

6:07 pm

carleekat

i thought i saw on a program on pbs once that in something like 150 000 years the seasons will be reversed

6:07 pm

lynxxx

although if we all keep messing with the climate maybe it will be winter in dec for Aust etc

6:08 pm

uusue2

hmmm, let me look that up, carlee

6:11 pm

westford

carlee how many girls and are they divided into groups?

6:11 pm

uusue2

no, I was right - the precession affects the direction the North Pole points, but we define the calendar so that the earth is in the same place in its orbit around the sun a year later, so even if the length of time it takes it to orbit changes we would adjust the calendar accordingly

6:12 pm

uusue2

hi, jes, 60 left for me...

6:57 pm

uusue2

...I've been reading the story of your Alaskan trip - sounds absolutely wonderful! (except for the airline, of course...)

7:09 pm

jesdraggon

it was, sue! everything was beautiful, and there were so MANY little critters :)

7:10 pm

uusue2

makes me want to go (although on a different airline :-)

7:11 pm

sammysmom

ga 6/237 ??

7:11 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, but there IS no other airline to alaska. options are fly alaska airlines, drive through canada (and roads to many areas in alaska are sketchy, try asking google for directions from wrangell to petersburg, for instance!), or take the ferry from bellingham up the coast.

7:12 pm

jesdraggon

or, you know, private pilot.

7:12 pm

uusue2

oh, well, it's a fantasy trip for me anyway, I might as well fantasize another airline :-)

7:12 pm

sammysmom

ga 6/27 that is

7:12 pm

jesdraggon

hah! fair enough :)

7:13 pm

uusue2

I did have friends who drove back in the 1970s; they bought a car (beater) at one and and junked it at the other

7:13 pm

carleekat

or a cruise

7:13 pm

jesdraggon

plural fo ga5/16 is the only one i have yet, sammysmom

7:13 pm

jesdraggon

but i'm still working on the d's.

7:13 pm

uusue2

pt of ga4/6, sammy

7:13 pm

doxy1lover

ga6 - similar to the ga6/21, different last vowel

7:13 pm

jesdraggon

yes, a cruise; but most of those are more like "drive by" touring instead of actually getting to spend much time anywhere.

7:14 pm

carleekat

i wonder if u can start on one ship up..and take a second back down a week or 2 later?

7:14 pm

doxy1lover

or past tense of ga4

7:14 pm

periwinkle

48 left!!

7:14 pm

jesdraggon

i don't know if they'd let you do that, carlee. i think the ferry would be the way to go if you want something like that, and a lot less spendy than a cruise ship.

7:15 pm

sammysmom

dont have a ga 6/21 and there is not one on the list ??

7:15 pm

uusue2

ga6/24, sammy

7:15 pm

jesdraggon

though probably doesn't come with a hot tub and massage business...

7:15 pm

carleekat

ok..am having a serious banoffee pie craving..... this is just..wrong..i have NOTHING even remotely close to the ingredients that one needs to make one

7:15 pm

jesdraggon

banoffee?

7:16 pm

carleekat

toffee/ banana / cream on a cookie crust

7:16 pm

doxy1lover

what is banoffee

7:16 pm

carleekat

google it... its to die for...

7:16 pm

doxy1lover

sounds good

7:16 pm

jesdraggon

huh. sounds interesting :)

7:16 pm

carleekat

u take digestive cookies ( NOT graham cookies )..and make a crust...

7:17 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone, banofee sounds good except for the banana...

7:17 pm

carleekat

u make toffee from sweetened condensed milk....and then sploosh that over top

7:17 pm

jesdraggon

digestive cookies?

7:17 pm

uusue2

just what I was thinkin g, lbd

7:18 pm

carleekat

then u take dble cream ( denser then whipping cream...or in lieu of that....make whipped cream and add sour cream..then cut up ur bananas into that...

7:18 pm

uusue2

they're a british thing, jes, slightly sweet graham cookies

7:18 pm

jesdraggon

d's decimated! hah!

7:18 pm

carleekat

7:19 pm

carleekat

just to make it "pretty" cant really taste the coffee

7:22 pm

Krista

lurking and multi-tasking here, but this sounds SO GOOD I had to comment. Think I'd use the chocolate digestives. Or do you think that would be too much?

7:23 pm

carleekat

up to you...i like plain..i dont add chocolate anywhere

7:23 pm

carleekat

try it once one way..then anothet ime another way :)

But I ma4/6 a decision to babble and that's what I did.I'd ra4/4 the grid not too easy and not too hard.It was not a re4/4 pain to do. Was able to cr 4/6 in 323 words in the short time I had to babble today. Now here is a ta 4/4 for me to re6/18. I couldn't believe my ea4/4 when I 1st heard I was accepted for the job that I have now. Guess all those classes I took in the pa 4/5 in gr4/7 school for my Ma 6/21's progr4/7 paid off. I was so el6/21, but I did not know whet5/12 or not to accept this job or not. I would have to make a life-al5/10ing decision to leave the only home I knew.I did accept the job and I have been a teacher for 13 years teaching all gr6/27 from Kindergarten to 7th gr 5/16 ESL. I believe I like 3rd gr7/40 the best. Often get teaching advice from my gr4/7 because she was a teacher too.She used to tell me I chose to join a gr5/14 profession. I have he 4/6ed her warnings though to not let politics&red ta 4/5 of education get to me.My fingers are getting cr 5/16s from typing alot. I'm going to go do something el4/4. Now I'm going to te 4/4 myself away from here and get off my re4/4 and go make a pl5/12 to eat.I'm going to sink my te 5/12 into hotdogs & ta5/10 tots. Then I will to pick a movie to watch.It'll either be The Co4/5 Miner's Daughter st4/4ring Sissy Spacek, or a Christian Sl6/18 movie or St5/10 Magnolias.Have not decided yet. I might be back la 5/10 or I might spend the re 4/4 of the night w/my dog. I have copied and pa 6/24 this story into my profile. Goodbye babblers!
