2:51 am

Jivingjenny0

any chance of a clue for either of the 10s?

2:52 am

Haz1558

pe10 builds from pe6/24 - someone who is overly fastidious about detail.

2:52 am

dizgrannie

pe 10:84 builds off pe 6:24

2:53 am

dizgrannie

snap

2:53 am

Haz1558

de10 is the other.

2:53 am

Haz1558

Latin plural of a word meaning 'what is needed'

2:54 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks, I'll look for those

3:04 am

Jivingjenny0

have found the pe plus a few more, but really need a clue for the de10

3:04 am

Haz1558

To break it down, de plus what a cube has six of, add a rodent and wrap up with a vowel.

3:06 am

Haz1558

Or, famliar Bishop Tutu for three, singularly bad day for Caesar for three, a three letter rodent, one vowel.

3:06 am

Jivingjenny0

well your clue was very easy, I have never heard of that word. Would never have got it without help, thanks very much

3:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:30 am

dizgrannie

isn't the de 10 the one where it starts 'go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence'???

3:30 am

Haz1558

I think so.

3:31 am

dizgrannie

pretty sure it was put to music around 30 odd yrs ago....brb, will google

3:33 am

Haz1558

It's certainly a piece that would lend itself to being spoken with music never mind being sung.

3:33 am

dizgrannie

yep Les Crane 1971...reached no.8

3:34 am

dizgrannie

geez google is great...LOL

3:35 am

Haz1558

It's an amazing resource, that's for sure.

Thankfully, it does, TO!

10:20 am

sadie52

oh that will look nice Pini

10:20 am

Pinikula

My only out-of-pocket expenses are the $500 deductible and an additional $800 to upgrade the flooring.

10:21 am

Pinikula

but the first $3,200 in flooring costs are covered -- * major sigh of relief *

10:21 am

rururocks

I'll bet your insurance agent was "floored" when he got that bill

10:21 am

Pinikula

He might be, ru...but he hasn't seen it yet! :)

10:22 am

sadie52

10:24 am

Pinikula

hi hoot...

10:25 am

hootowl

Was good for the ingrediets but most of the recipes were not worth the money.

10:25 am

Pinikula

TO, pulled the link up...is there something you're looking at that you want an opinion on?

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

they tested vanilla extract and will only say that natural was better for mixing but imitation was better tasting for baking

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

hi hoot

10:26 am

MollyL

I think I saw Pini on a milk carton the other day. : P

10:26 am

Pinikula

* ack * Moi? (Hi Molly)

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

they will not give the brands. tj's has boubon vanilla but i don't know what that means. it is intersting that natural ones get lost in baking, no?

10:26 am

Pinikula

I wonder if the imitation is "easier" to use in baking...

10:27 am

MollyL

I never use imitation vanilla.

10:27 am

hootowl

I have never used anything but natural.

10:27 am

rururocks

*purist*

10:27 am

Pinikula

...a more even distribution throughout. no?

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

for taste it scored higher. the subtleties were evident in mixing into cold things like drinks but inbaking all lost

10:27 am

hootowl

yes

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

which surprised me

10:27 am

MollyL

Well, pure vanilla extract never gets lost in what I bake.

Happy Birthday, Sprite.. hope I'm not too late..

2:00 pm

sprite

thank you :)

2:00 pm

sprite

sorry, got d/c

2:00 pm

Aloyisius

yay.. glad you were not totally gone..

2:01 pm

sprite

no I am very much here!

2:01 pm

Aloyisius

haven't been able to get on the internet.. hubby was busy with techie getting rid of a virus on his laptop, ugh

2:01 pm

Aloyisius

took hours

2:01 pm

Aloyisius

but they succeeded

2:02 pm

Aloyisius

anyone know a virus proof protection plan?

2:03 pm

Jeff7

conrats to Derek jeter!

2:05 pm

Aloyisius

what record did he break, Jeff?

2:05 pm

sprite

a good anti virus program and firewall, a regular check with Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware or Spybot. Never ever open attachements unless you know who they are from.

2:06 pm

sprite

for email, the best thing is something like mailwasher, because the mail stays on the server until you have checked it, and you only allow it on your puter when you are sure it is safe.

2:07 pm

Aloyisius

writing down the names of the malware checkers.. that is what it was, one named "Godzilla", another I forgot the name of

2:07 pm

sprite

for surfing the internet, try the immunizer that is part of Spybot Search and Destroy. And update regularly.

2:09 pm

Aloyisius

thanks, sprite.. wrote that down too

2:09 pm

sprite

godzilla is an ugly one indeed

2:09 pm

Aloyisius

yes, it blocked his wireless

2:10 pm

tbear

Sprite Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag!

2:10 pm

sprite

such a waste of time, cleaning malware.

2:10 pm

sprite

dank je wel teddybeer :)

2:11 pm

tbear

:)))

2:11 pm

tbear

I like that teddybeer...in my case it should be teddygin lol

2:12 pm

sprite

LOLLL

2:13 pm

sprite

oh and Aloy, when you check with spybot, and it finds stuff, let it remove it, reboot, then check again. Keep doing that until it comes up clean. Some ugly ones are only really gone after a few times. They work in 'layers' as it were.

2:13 pm

Aloyisius

making note of that pointer, ty again

2:14 pm

sprite

yvw. Been there, done that... totally hate the ppl that put bad stuff on the internet.

2:14 pm

Aloyisius

boggles my mind.. why?

2:15 pm

sprite

because they can. Very powerful feeling, I guess, when you know you make thousands of people very miserable with your code.

2:16 pm

sammysmom

clue for the en 7 please?

2:16 pm

Aloyisius

.. not to mention poorer, ugh..

2:16 pm

sprite

smom: every word you put in here is one of those

2:17 pm

sprite

yeah, especially if you need to hire help to clean up.

2:17 pm

doseffing

.. plus of the place where you go in ...

2:17 pm

Aloyisius

bookeepers make en7 into their books

2:17 pm

doseffing

.. sorry that should be plural

2:17 pm

sammysmom

and if i had pulled the damned box down, i would have seen that i already had it... thanks

2:17 pm

Aloyisius

now I can't type chat into the lickety box

2:18 pm

sprite

rest of my advice, lol: keep your programs on one drive, your documents etc on another one. Make backups. And if you can, make an image of your clean machine before you start using it.

2:18 pm

sprite

LOL smom...

2:19 pm

Aloyisius

image of my clean machine?

2:20 pm

sprite

yes. If you have an external hard drive (they aren't expensive anymore), you can make a sort of copy from your computer. If all goes to hell then, you can format and put the image back.

2:20 pm

sprite

there are programs that do that for you. Norton has one, but there are more.

2:21 pm

sprite

(norton's is called norton ghost, if I remember correctly)

2:21 pm

Aloyisius

ah so.. we do have an external hard drive

2:21 pm

sprite

it pays to do it, especially since you have a clean machine now. Saves a load of work if something should happen again.

2:22 pm

Aloyisius

ok, I'll tell hubby

2:22 pm

sprite

ok and final tip: Keep a copy of each and every install program you use on your computer, also on an external drive. Saves hours of thinking, searching etc if you have to install from scratch.

2:23 pm

Aloyisius

great idea.. been there, done that too.. and couldn't find the disk, sigh

2:23 pm

sprite

oh that is awful! Very frustrating :(

2:24 pm

Aloyisius

on another subject.. has Terra stopped growing yet?

2:24 pm

sprite

oh yes, he is 2 years old, he has stopped growing a long time ago.

2:25 pm

Aloyisius

2:25 pm

sprite

5:42 pm

Ok Sue...you asked for it.

5:42 pm

Minveryork

I started the grid an4/8 this morning and gave up at 162 words&1989 points w/no hopes of getting ne4/4 to fi4/7works.So here's a story of clues for my de4/5 Babble friends. Before I started my teaching career, I had various jobs from high school through graduate school. Unfortunately, none of the jobs worked out.I worked at concession stand at a sports ar5/10 when I was a teenager. When I was in college, I had a part-time da 4/5 entry job.Was aw 4/9 by how fast my co-workers could type. I tr5/12 to type as fast as them and I er5/12 big-time.I ir4/5 my boss and got fi5/18. I also had a job as a candy striper in a hospital. That job did not last.I had a weak stomach and I fa4/7ted everytime I saw any blood. That job was go 4/6 soon after I started. I worked at Sports Authority selling sports ge4/6 as well. I lost that job as well because I was ta7/32 than the other workers.Also had a job as a chamber maid in hotel.At first,I thought it was a su 5/14 job because I was able to re6/21 in hotel, but I quickly hated the job.I had to ri4/4 very early every day and clean the rooms and make them ne 4/4. That job was a pa4/5. My boss was not pe5/12. He always ra4/4ed and raved over my lack of cleaning skills.So I re 5/14 many of the rooms.Did not get any rewa4/9s for being the best chamber maid. Finally, I had it out with him & I put myself into a qu 5/16 mess. Needless to say, I was let go from that job too.But I did not pi 4/5 over the loss of that job. Now I have a job that I love and would not tr 5/12 in for any other job in the world. Dr4//5!Hubby wa 4/8s the laptop.How da4/5 he take take laptop away from me!Now I am going to ar5/10 out of chair & take dog for a walk outsi4/5. I will be back later on to help out w/clues. Bye for now.

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh thanks.

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

So there is a man who I have been friends with for 5 years. He has been married for forever, so we are always jusr friends...

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

and 2 days ago he and I were chatting via Instant message (he lives out west).

5:45 pm

uusue2

oh, I do remember this now, red!

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

Ok, so...

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

Kicker is...

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

When we ran th Marathon, he met one of my "friends" and was quite attracted to her. I felt really hurt at the time, but got over it as after all he was married anyway.

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

I sent him an email the other day wishing him a nice race. He sent me one back telling me he emailed my friend...and how nice she is.

5:46 pm

uusue2

this was a while ago, obviously...

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

February this year.

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

<My friend is not that nice, she is actually sort of a self centered, spoiled brat.

5:47 pm

MollyL

Red, how well do you know this guy?

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

So I did not respond not sure what to say to that...

5:48 pm

uusue2

hmmm...

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

I know him very well.

5:48 pm

uusue2

yeah, hopefully he won't learn about her the hard way

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

And I get an email from her today telling me he had contacted ehr and said some things about wanting to get to know her better etc etc etc...

5:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

110 left, BBL poink

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

And she wanted to know what I thought given my attachment to him.

5:48 pm

uusue2

hmmm...

5:49 pm

MollyL

I don't know, maybe I don't know the whole story but it sounds like he's fishing for a "replacement" before he's even divorced.

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

So I sent her a pointed email telling her what was going on with his wife, and saying that frankly, I didnt see what it mattered...

5:49 pm

uusue2

ooh - dilemma...

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

EXACTLY MOLLY!

5:49 pm

MollyL

Whew! I was hoping that saying that wouldn't make you mad.

5:49 pm

uusue2

what is going on with his wife (this is part of the story I don't remember)

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

and then I sent him an email just saying that I was not that close friendwith her especially after her behavior on a different trip that he was not on...

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

THey are supposed to start couseling on tuesday.

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

SOOOO.

5:50 pm

uusue2

hmmm...

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

I get an email back from him today saying "I'm not really wanting to biuild any sort of new relationships right now..."

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

WTF!

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

And he wants to count on me to be his friend.

5:51 pm

uusue2

sounds like he is kind of all over the map!

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

I mean, you send a girl a message saying you want to get to know her better and then tell another one you are desperately trying to save your marriage, and dont want to start any new relationships? Crazy.

5:53 pm

MollyL

Is this friend of yours also "unattached" at the moment?

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

My "girlfriend" sent me back a 4 word response incidently, "oooh, hmmm, ok thanks."

5:54 pm

uusue2

weird, since he obviously knows that you know her...

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

She is semi unattached. In her email I just died, She said, well she didnt have a "spark" with him, but she was always up for getting to know people better and he seemed interesting... total BS.

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

I am torn. I am def not interested in dealing with the girlfriend anymore, but I decided that after out beach trip...back in march.

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

I can not decide if I just ignore him, or if I call him on it.

5:55 pm

kje

igore... not worth the time of day

5:55 pm

uusue2

i'd ignore him unless he really pushes it

5:56 pm

MollyL

I'm always very wary of situations like this. Because of my work on the internet, I've seen a lot of predatory men pounce on unattached women, or unhappily married women because they (the man) think those women are vulnerable.

5:57 pm

redturtlehead

SO far today he has sent me 2 emails, and tried to get me up on Instant messenger. I signed out of instant mssgr after that.

5:57 pm

redturtlehead

I dont think he is trying to pounce on anyone, he is quite well employed etc...

5:57 pm

kje

IGNORE

5:58 pm

uusue2

it is possible that he is lonely/confused/conflicted but you don't need to be in the middle of it

5:58 pm

kje

trouble now just portends even bigger stupidity in the future.... this NEVER works out

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I just actually seem to want the satisfaction of saying, Gee, you say this, but you DID that.

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

I def do not want to have any sort of actual relationship with him after this....

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

He is a grown adult and if he can not act any better than that...

6:00 pm

redturtlehead

On the plus sideo f my man life, I have exchanged numbers with my best pal from Kindergarten who has been single for about 11 months now...and I think he will call me tonight (Sadly his Dad is really sick, but still...)

6:00 pm

kje

I have no plus side at the momet - LOL

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

It's the only plus side. I have always loved him since we were 5 yrs old...

6:01 pm

kje

cute

6:01 pm

uusue2

even if it doesn't turn into anything romantic it is always good to have friends, red

6:02 pm

redturtlehead

and my friend Brian who has cancer seems to have gone into remission from a study drug...

6:02 pm

kje

must run... enjoy the reunion red

6:02 pm

redturtlehead

lots of good news.

6:02 pm

uusue2

oh, that is good, red!

6:02 pm

redturtlehead

BUt do you all not agree that he is being a bit outrageous? the original man...

6:02 pm

uusue2

WAY more than a bit, red!!!

6:02 pm

kje

no, ot outrageous... complete dick... AVOID

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

THank you all. I shall now stop talking about men.

6:03 pm

MollyL

Red, he sounds a bit unstable. He's playing games with you and your friend and I think he's one of those people who needs WAY too much attention.

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

as a matter of fact, I have to go...

6:03 pm

uusue2

see you later, red!!

6:03 pm

uusue2

take care of yourself...

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

I have to be in a video chat with family for a while, I lost track of time. they keep pinging me my nephews.

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

thanks all for listening!

6:24 pm

letsplay

uusue2

6:31 pm

6:35 pm

rururocks

6:35 pm

uusue2

6:36 pm

rururocks

thank you uu

6:36 pm

MollyL

da8...da** entry is a clerical job + you like to visit wine****

6:37 pm

MollyL

Which 10 are you looking for Jen?

6:38 pm

JenMO16

6:38 pm

MollyL

6:39 pm

rururocks

6:40 pm

JenMO16

no it is not ruru, don't know very many poems!

6:40 pm

MollyL

Or...Mr. Arnaz + Kentucky ***by + a pin*** is filled with treats and broken open by swinging a bat at it

6:40 pm

uusue2

6:40 pm

rururocks

thank you molly

6:41 pm

MollyL

Speak for yourself Sue. Back in the sixties Ru was still in the cradle.

6:41 pm

rururocks

I had fillmore posters on my walls

6:41 pm

uusue2

I *was* speaking for myself :-)

6:42 pm

MollyL

I had a Jefferson Airplane Fillmore poster on my bedroom wall, all the way over here on the right coast.

6:42 pm

JenMO16

ty, molly

6:42 pm

JenMO16

how about the other one?

6:42 pm

uusue2

I had a fillmore poster too (don't remember what it was, though) also near the right coast (MA)

6:42 pm

rururocks

*esteem for Molly goes way up*

6:43 pm

uusue2

pe10/84 builds off pe6/24, someone who is overly fussy

6:44 pm

MollyL

pe10...pe + Our 2Bit's first name + there were so many en***** in the contest that it was a huge success

6:44 pm

uusue2

too hot up here, time for a beer. bbs.

6:45 pm

JenMO16

thanks again molly

6:45 pm

MollyL

Sue, I don't know how you live without AC. I would be a grouchy, sick mess.

6:49 pm

uusue2

well, I have AC, I just don't use it unless the heat is really extreme (like upper 90s or so), right now it is 87 so I am ok with the fan. Also it is pretty dry which helps.

6:50 pm

Jellen

Hello and thanks for the 10s!

6:50 pm

uusue2

hi, Jellen!

6:50 pm

MollyL

It's a rare day here when hot doesn't = humid. When my AC was out for a week last summer, my son and I were soaking wet for days. Hi Jellen, how did the auction go?

6:52 pm

SeaSpray

Hi everyone...could I have a clue for the fa8 please?

6:52 pm

Jellen

6:56 pm

MollyL

Sea, the Robert Frost of Babbleland. : P

6:58 pm

SeaSpray

:) I don't know why but that reminded me of The Love Song of Alfred J Prufrock (The title always fascinated me)

6:59 pm

MollyL

Ooo, now T.S. Eliot. Sea is so literate! : )

6:59 pm

SeaSpray

I DO like to read

7:00 pm

uusue2

10:25 pm

Dorens

he is, but being very humble... If his wife hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known. Gina Kolata called and he had long talk with her, he said she was really a very nice person, I've read many many of her pieces in Tuesday Science Times.... can't wait to see this one though!!!!

Fascinating article, Doren. Oh how I wish we could hand out placebo pills.

10:37 pm

dianedecoder

up + bar room game projectile

10:37 pm

Dorens

glad you liked it scrabbler (and don't you ever do placebo's? are they illegal? so often they're what's needed)

10:37 pm

Jellen

Thanks, diane

10:37 pm

dianedecoder

welcome, Jellen

10:38 pm

Dorens

nice clue diane, and I was going to say something about seamstresses taking in things near the bust line. would have been clumsy

10:38 pm

dianedecoder

LOL.... I'd have gotten it from that for sure :-)

10:38 pm

DR1965

PHEW! R's are rolled!

10:39 pm

dianedecoder

there were sure a lot of them today !!

10:39 pm

DR1965

yes, too many and they were twisty

10:39 pm

meliae

just got to the R's if you dont hear from me for awhile send in help!

10:39 pm

Scrabbler

Use of placebos is no longer ethical/moral except in research in which subjects are aware that they may be receiving a placebo.

10:40 pm

Dorens

i'mm still loking for 23 of those r's... ridiculous

10:40 pm

Dorens

but the hypochondric old ladies.... who could be so easily reassured with a nice dose of nothing

10:41 pm

DR1965

Good Luck Dorens....

10:41 pm

NANCY

anyone have a clue for the ep 6?

10:42 pm

wildcat17

clue for si6/21 please

10:42 pm

Scrabbler

In pediatrics we need placebos for "ADHD", the child "tugging at the ears" and "sinus infections."

10:42 pm

DR1965

ROFL!!! Absolutely SCrabs!

10:42 pm

Minveryork

Really Rad Dr1965!

10:42 pm

NANCY

nm, i found it

10:43 pm

DR1965

Thanks Min!

10:43 pm

Dorens

you need placebos for the mothers of those, don't you scrabs?

10:43 pm

Scrabbler

And adolescent females need several placebos -- fatigue, dizziness, mood swings.

10:43 pm

dianedecoder

ep 6 has been clued earlier as e + porker + opp. of OFF

10:43 pm

DR1965

I know a preteen boy that you are describing Scrabs

10:43 pm

Dorens

so many of our mothers are just sure there's somethis wrong... they want a diagnosis and a pill and that's all

10:45 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Doren. The major reason for sick visits = to relieve maternal anxiety. Antibiotics are not needed for 80% of middle ear infections or for colds (viral sinus infection) or vast majority of sore throats.....

10:45 pm

Scrabbler

Odd word that ep6

10:46 pm

dianedecoder

si 6/21 title of respect + after sundown it's ***k

10:46 pm

Scrabbler

We see many mothers that are disappointed when we find no evidence of their feared diagnosed.

10:46 pm

dianedecoder

late in coming, sorry... just noticed it !

10:47 pm

wildcat17

you're fine. I'm so tired I can't see anything

10:47 pm

Dorens

harder and harder to practice medicine these days... particularly with parents "knowing' everything

10:47 pm

dianedecoder

the long W words will describe you very well then :-)

10:48 pm

Dorens

and those ridiculous ads on tv for drugs

10:48 pm

wildcat17

10:49 pm

Dorens

I also have 7 bookcases of books. I am starting to weed some of them out, giving them to a retirement village.

11:56 pm

dianedecoder

I have music on my computer from the 1920's to the present... I like all genres ... except heavy metal and rap. I actually have the earliest recording of "Diane" from 1928 !!
