flipWow! Big changes indeed! Congratulations, you special person, you! Was Vegas a blast? It will be fun (I hope) teaching in your old school where your mother also teaches...and so handy to home.
Have a great summer at Tad and don't let the black-flies bite.

did I kill the chat?

12:56 am

flosey

hi Dee, was just off to change icon

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

welcome back

12:57 am

jillibus

flosey, how about giving a couple of letters which start your icon clue?

12:57 am

flosey

oops, was hurrying!

12:59 am

jillibus

I left because I don't see the point of calling 2 letters and a number. which are already listed in Lickety. I just find it distracting when I'm trying to find my own words. Others seem to like it, not wanting to open Lickety for some unfathomable (to me) reason), so I' mjust closing the chat when this is going on.

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

I quite enjoy that part of babble... interesting how we all like different parts

1:00 am

jillibus

I know you do, dee.

1:00 am

flosey

me to jilli, I seldom pay attention to the chat, what's the difference in asking for a clue and using lickety

1:00 am

m9f9l

yup. me too

1:01 am

flosey

unless ru is punning, lol

1:01 am

jillibus

a clue to me is a hint as to the actual word, not just "ab3/56"

1:02 am

m9f9l

yes.

1:02 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more, jilli. I try to avoid playing this early because of it.

1:02 am

jillibus

hi sprite

1:03 am

sprite

good morning. Having a wonderful spa day planned with friend, so must play early or not ;)

1:03 am

flosey

hello sprite, we very seldom see you at this hour

1:04 am

sprite

it used to be my set play time, but I quit because of the nonstop spoilers

1:04 am

jillibus

Anyway, I've said my piece. Those who like the "calling" can go ahead and do it. I'll be absent, and sorry, because the real clues are such fun. But I can wait.

1:05 am

jillibus

Glad you hear your opinion, sprite -- so I'm not alone and just a spoilsport.

1:06 am

sprite

no hun, you are nothing of the kind. Several people stopped playing at this hour for the same reason.

1:07 am

jillibus

Very interesting.

1:07 am

flosey

of course you are not a spoilsport jilli, we all have the right to our opinion without seeming to sound - what was the word used? cranky!!

1:08 am

flosey

lol, had to look back to find the remark!

1:08 am

sprite

beautiful icon clue, btw, flosey

1:09 am

jillibus

btw, thanks, flosey for the icon clue's beginning

1:09 am

flosey

1:12 am

mrpresident

hi vanilla! good to hear!

1:13 am

mrpresident

is there an argument?? sorry, I didn't know

1:13 am

sprite

he seems relentless, mrP. This guy needs a major problem in his own life so he will stop focusing on you.

1:13 am

vanillaslice

Mind you it means that I'll have to get back to the weeds soon

1:13 am

sprite

no hun, argument was already over again

1:13 am

jillibus

no, mrp and vanilla, just different strokes for different folks

1:14 am

sprite

ah vanilla, no beautiful garden without having to weed :P

1:14 am

vanillaslice

good, the best part is kiss and make up

1:14 am

mrpresident

ah, fair enough

1:14 am

sprite

I never put on make up ;)

1:14 am

mrpresident

vanillaslice

1:26 am

Glantarell

Hi Mr P

1:27 am

sprite

omg that is brilliant. And am I glad I don't have that in my storage!

1:27 am

flosey

lol, did that come from a school Chem. lab

1:27 am

mrpresident

you like!??

1:27 am

flosey

as long as the lid stays on mrp

1:27 am

mrpresident

it is a word in the grid... but just spelt different and a part of a foot instead!

1:28 am

jillibus

well, not exactly LIKE...

1:28 am

sprite

it is also a cryptic clue for a grid word!

1:28 am

mrpresident

it is for sale in wal-mart....

1:28 am

mrpresident

in china!

1:28 am

jillibus

oh my, mrp -- slightly farfetched!

1:28 am

sprite

nah, works for me, jilli, lol

1:29 am

flosey

ewweewewew

1:29 am

mrpresident

oh jilli! must forward you the email!! is your email in your profile??

1:30 am

sprite

may I have it too, mrP? Am not at home so cannot steal your icon pic now :(

1:30 am

mrpresident

i see the email... will forward now

1:30 am

jillibus

oh yuk! Although I did like frogs' legs...

1:30 am

mrpresident

yes sprite, it will come shortly

1:30 am

sprite

poor flosey, *grin*
Here, dear, let me cover your eyes...

1:30 am

jillibus

yes, mrp, down at the bottom -- but you already have it anyway

1:31 am

jillibus

(I hope we didn't scare dee away)

1:32 am

flosey

well sprite, at least I'm not AFRAID of them, unlike snakes - when the kids were here they were taking pictures in the garden, amongst them was a snake with his head about 3 - 4 " in the air

1:32 am

sprite

that must be awful when you are afraid of snakes. I think they are beautiful, but I steer clear from them in real life.

1:33 am

sprite

shouldn't think so, jilli, volleymumdee said she found the different opinions interesting.

1:33 am

flosey

I've tried forever to get over it, but no luck, I just avoid gardening

1:34 am

jillibus

yes, but she's been very silent ever since. Wouldn't want to spoil her fun.

1:34 am

sprite

oh darn flosey, what a shame! So sorry that took away the fun of gardening for you. But I can imagine how it would.

1:34 am

Glantarell

thankfully we only have two kinds of snake here - both rare - and the only one likely to be found in gardens is harmless

1:34 am

flosey

she does leave early sometimes though Jilli

1:35 am

jillibus

true, flosey, but rarely without a "goodbye"

1:35 am

sprite

we do have snakes in the netherlands, but I have never seen one in our garden or actually anywhere near houses.

1:35 am

flosey

yes, that's true jilli

1:35 am

flosey

on 2 separate days, Dave came in and said he saw 5 while he was there

1:36 am

sprite

so sorry flosey :( And there is probably no way on earth to make a garden snake proof

1:36 am

flosey

our property is quite large and much of it is wild, heavily treed

1:36 am

jillibus

I don't mind snakes at all -- at least not the little ones I see sometimes in the garden -- they always glide away and hide.

1:36 am

flosey

sprite, they do more good for a garden than I can

1:37 am

sprite

would it be possible to snake-proof a part of your property, flosey? So you can still enjoy gardening without having to be afraid?

1:37 am

jillibus

what a charitable thought aboutsomething that scares you, flosey!

1:37 am

flosey

not easily, sprite

1:37 am

mrpresident

ok, sent... check emails girls

1:38 am

mrpresident

jilli I had a saltspring email for you??

1:38 am

sprite

can't until I am home again, mrP, but thanks, will find it after the vacation :D

1:38 am

mrpresident

but sent it to the one you have on your profile

1:38 am

jillibus

oh -- that doesn't work any more, mrp -- did you get the new one from my bio?

1:39 am

mrpresident

ah, vacation time!! I still get my bloody emails during vacation... lucky you!

1:39 am

jillibus

I see you did -- good.

1:39 am

mrpresident

yes jilli

1:39 am

Glantarell

phantom android keeps getting in my way

1:40 am

sprite

flosey: I got it! You probably have something like a veranda, anywhere you can hang and put big plant pots. You could make a mini garden with those and tend to it close to the house without having to worry.

1:40 am

flosey

tried it too Glant

1:40 am

sprite

in6, Glant!

1:41 am

flosey

oh yes sprite, we have a large deck on east side of house and a small deck outside of my office

1:41 am

flosey

and thankyou Sprite, for being so concerned

1:42 am

flosey

I even have roses on the deck

1:42 am

sprite

my friend used to have only a very small balcony and she always turned it into a real garden of eden.

1:42 am

flosey

miniature roses

1:43 am

Glantarell

and now i have a phantom ardent - the ardent android ;-)

1:43 am

sprite

aw that is sweet! They are so pretty.
Yes of course I am concerned, I know how important it can be to be able to play with soil and seeds and flowers.

1:43 am

mrpresident

jilli, I can't get over the crocodiles!

1:43 am

sprite

hahaha Glant, I am right with you!

1:43 am

sprite

tyro

1:43 am

jillibus

got your email, mrp -- what a selection! I'll be forwarding it around.

1:43 am

sprite

darn darn darn off to the PB with me, sorry.
missing my Expert!

1:44 am

flosey

oh oh sprite

1:44 am

jillibus

thx, sprite, and what would you like in the sin bin?

1:44 am

mrpresident

thanks jilli!!

1:44 am

Glantarell

putting soem Welsh cakes in the PB for Sprite

1:44 am

sprite

a cup of coffee would be nice... and some fruit.

1:44 am

mrpresident

*throws TimTams at sprite as she heads to the PB*

1:44 am

sprite

yummy Glant!

1:45 am

sprite

*jumps high to catch the TimTams... wow can that mrP throw a mean cookie!*

1:45 am

flosey

what is a TimTam mrp?

1:45 am

mrpresident

hehehe !!

1:45 am

mrpresident

flosey, it is heaven on a biscuit!

1:45 am

jillibus

flosey, we have them here in Country Grocer -- cookies.

1:45 am

sprite

mrP says it is the mother of all cookies, flosey

1:46 am

flosey

oh, thanks jilli, will look for them

1:46 am

mrpresident

but the ones you have are not the originals :((

1:46 am

flosey

well, being a bit of a cookie monster, I must try them

1:46 am

jillibus

No? What's the difference, mrp? We have several varieties.

1:46 am

flosey

how would they differ mrp?

1:47 am

mrpresident

am sending the timtam slam info as well as the timtams sprite

1:47 am

mrpresident

they are not made by the same manufacturer as here

1:47 am

mrpresident

they taste different

1:47 am

sprite

lovely mrP, thanks so much

1:48 am

mrpresident

if it is Arnott's TimTams, then they are the original and the best

1:48 am

Glantarell

we don't have tim tams at all :-(

1:49 am

jillibus

I'll have to check. They might well be -- we get lots of imports from OZ.

1:49 am

mrpresident

in my next shipment glant... remind me and email me... i will send you some if your are allowed to received food products to your country

1:50 am

Glantarell

we are alllowed certain foodstuffs - just no meat, dairy products of fruit - packaged biscuits, sweets, cakes etc are fine

1:51 am

mrpresident

we are allowed nothing!

1:52 am

Glantarell

i know - i sent a piece of art with a dried fern frond on it and Australian Immigration & customs offered to irradiate it fir her for $40 so she could receive it

1:53 am

Glantarell

I visited Australia by ship 3 times in the 1970s, and we were pretty fed up of immigration coming on board and fumigating us before we were allowed to dock :-)

1:53 am

sprite

wow that is sick

1:53 am

Glantarell

it made us feel dirty when we were actually quite clean!

1:54 am

mrpresident

yep, planes are self fumigated now... passangers from overseas don't even know it!

1:54 am

mrpresident

it goes through the aircon system now

1:55 am

sprite

don't they import any stuff either, mrP?

1:55 am

jillibus

halfway

1:55 am

jillibus

yet people still seem to catch bugs on planes

1:55 am

mrpresident

they do sprite... lot's of stuff, but it has to go through strict quarantine

jillibus

bye glant -- have a good day

1:57 am

mrpresident

it just isn't worth it hun

1:57 am

sprite

ridiculous. And what does irridating do to food stuff? Make it uneatable? inedible?

1:57 am

sprite

lol jilli, silly!

1:57 am

mrpresident

I suppose it ensures there is nothing contaminant in it?

1:58 am

sprite

yes of course, but would it spoil the contents?

1:58 am

jillibus

no, sprite

1:58 am

mrpresident

no, don't think so

1:59 am

sprite

ok... then there is still hope :D

what a nuisance, more than a week withut an internet connection and now, even though I'm (tenuously) connected, my husband stil isn't and is VERY unhappy. In this bad week : 1. I've lost my typing skills but 2. have been enjoying the Tour de France

6:41 am

how close to where you are is it today? Haven't looked at a map lately ... but it's fairly close isn't it?

6:42 am

so glad you're back, ruby!!

I haven't been able to watch this year ... Does anyone have a chance to beat the Shlecks?

6:44 am

MollyL

(((((((RUBY))))))))) Missed you.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I am still rooting for Cadel Evans as I think Andy Shelck, although a terific rider, lacks character and charm.. Thank you Molly, I missed you, too

6:46 am

doseffing

... Must cheer for Team Garmin and RyderHesjedal and Thor Hushovd ... as close to a Canadian team as exists anywhere ...

6:46 am

MollyL

It was good to hear from Soodle and know that you were okay, just having computer problems.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I watch the Tour 4 hrs/ day and if I hadn't had that, without an internet connectrion, I ould have gone crazy (craxier!)

6:47 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves Hesjedal!!!

6:48 am

MollyL

Well, if no computer, boys on bikes with tight shorts on is a nice second choice. : P

6:48 am

rubyfoo

and, also, team Garmin - that Hushovd is a lovely, huge monster

6:48 am

6:51 am

rubyfoo

and fruit!!!!

6:53 am

MollyL

They dropped the charges against Sue's son, pending that he has no contact with the girl for six months, which is no problem. There is lots of relief in Sue's house.

6:54 am

MollyL

Carlee, it's like they say, we have the hot days so we can appreciate the cooler ones more.

6:54 am

rubyfoo

that is happy news, Molly, the last thing Sue needed was problems with her son. And if he can't stay away from that pisonus girl, he has to be aware of the consequentces!

6:54 am

rubyfoo

that was poisonous*

6:55 am

MollyL

Poisonous is a good word Ruby. It is frightening how poisonous some people can be. I suppose that is why they are referred to as "Toxic People".

6:56 am

rubyfoo

I never hear that expression before but it is truly apt!

6:56 am

MollyL

I'm sure you know the type Ruby. Always seeking attention, drawing you into their drama, creating drama when there is none.

6:57 am

rubyfoo

but we, as adults, can handle int. But a young fellow, in thrall to his ormonses,is definitely less capable.

6:58 am

rubyfoo

6:58 am

rubyfoo

in a week my typing has deteriorated, too

6:58 am

rubyfoo

sorry

7:06 am

Well, to put a positive spin on it, it's a good thing he got this lesson young in life. Perhaps it will help him make better choices in the future.

I'll send it right over :-)

9:01 am

... thanks ... maybe it'll get here by tomorrow

9:02 am

except for a brief but very nasty windstorm last week this is the first rain we've had in a long time

9:03 am

... it did nothing but rain here for April and the first half of May ... ... hasn't rained since ...

9:04 am

uusue2

crazy weather :-(

9:05 am

uusue2

we had a lot of rain earlier as well, you can see in the corn fields where the farmers couldn't plant because they were underwater

9:06 am

Kenny Chuck

Clue for an7 please?

9:06 am

doseffing

... is there a water situation developing there? ... I drove from here to Las Vegas in '06 and it seemed that if it wasn't for the irrigation there'd be no crops growing through Iowa and Nebraska at all

9:07 am

doseffing

... an + a hesitation + robot ending

9:10 am

Kenny Chuck

Tx dose

9:10 am

uusue2

I think we are ok so far, due to the earlier rains we are just about even for the year. We did have horrible drought a few years ago, and most of the fields here are not irrigated (not cost effective as we don't get drought that often, although that may be changing)

9:11 am

uusue2

and thx for the an7 - think I will put it in the physics babblets

9:12 am

doseffing

... I kept seeing these massive lines of sprinklers putting out tons of water ... I was surprised that there was any left in the Missouri ... ... coming back it seemed that the Arkansas was getting smaller as I came downstream

9:16 am

uusue2

The Rio Grande disappears before it gets to Albuquerque due to irrigation!

9:16 am

Judi

Good morning, dahlinks!

9:16 am

doseffing

... I noticed that too

9:16 am

uusue2

but the only sprinklers right around here are on the turf farms

9:16 am

uusue2

hi, Judi1

9:17 am

Judi

Smurf farms?

9:17 am

uusue2

Judi! (don't like the shift key on this new rubber keyboard)

9:17 am

uusue2

turf farms, where they grow grass for sod (more green than blue :-)

9:17 am

doseffing

... in Kentucky ... for the blueness

9:18 am

Judi

Am horrified to know that Smurfs are back on the scene. A new movie. Errrgh.

9:18 am

uusue2

don't tell me - I had to sit through a preview of it! Awful!!

9:19 am

Judi

If you ever watch "Robot Chicken", they always rank on the Smurfs - blow them up, etc. It's awesome.

9:20 am

doseffing

... they may be subversive ... ... but better them than Family Guy ... ...

9:21 am

uusue2

the thing that bothers me about the smurfs (among other things) is smurfette - the female one - like being female is just another odd variation of the norm

9:22 am

doseffing

... true ... but then the most intelligent male on television is the dog, Brian

9:22 am

doseffing

... perhaps the only intelligent male on television

9:22 am

Judi

Believe me, I've never thought so deeply about smurf culture. They are just squeeky voiced, annoying, intellectually insulting little characters.

9:23 am

MollyL

<---Bangs head against wall to get Smurf theme out of it.

9:24 am

MollyL

Everything from my older sons childhood is coming back. Transformers, Smurfs. What's next? He-Man?

9:25 am

uusue2

back in the 80s the daughter of the guy I lived with watched them incessantly. Blerg.

9:25 am

Judi

Probably. Along with the Smurfs trailer, we also saw a trailer for Thunder Cats. Took great effort not to run screaming from the theater.

9:25 am

uusue2

and didn't he-man already come back? (I don't actually pay that much attention to new movies)

9:27 am

MollyL

If it did, I missed it. I will say that the He-Man live action movie was one of the best cartoon to film transfers I've seen. But how could they go wrong with Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella.

9:28 am

uusue2

maybe I am confusing he-man with the X-men (told you I don't pay much attention!)

9:31 am

Judi

Must have been He-Man. Dolph & Frank weren't in the X-Men movies.

9:31 am

Judi

Need a clue for the de6/27, please.

9:31 am

MollyL

Oh yeah, it's hot. One of UDC's campuses is closed today because of excessive heat. Apparently their chiller is "antiquated".

9:32 am

doseffing

... de6/27 ... I think it's a middle eastern coin ... ... or de +na4

9:34 am

hootowl

Morning all - I saw He-man on Toon one day when flipping channels.

9:34 am

hootowl

Really bad cartoon!

9:34 am

hootowl

This was this winter

9:36 am

MollyL

It may seem like a bad cartoon to adults. But when my older two were younger, it was all the rage with the boys. They all had the action figures and played with them constantly.

9:37 am

Judi

Got it, dose. Ty.

9:37 am

MollyL

I imagine some people think "Hercules" was a bad cartoon as well. I thought it was pretty cool when I was a kid.

9:37 am

hootowl

Well I don't mean the story line, that was generic. But the pics were amateurish

9:38 am

Judi

Robot Chicken also always goofs on He-Man for its (ahem) homo-erotic tendancies.

9:38 am

hootowl

whaaaaaa?

9:39 am

Judi

You have to watch Robot Chicken. It's hilarious.

9:39 am

hootowl

When they started going PC on cartoons they took out all the fun

9:39 am

MollyL

What? Is there speculation that He-Man and Man-At-Arms were more than co-defenders of justice? : P

9:40 am

hootowl

I bow out -

9:41 am

uusue2

and never mind Batman and Robin...

9:41 am

hootowl

I want the Justice League back!

9:42 am

hootowl

Batman has gotten too dark for me

9:42 am

Judi

Yes, Hoot! Old school Superman and Aquaman!

9:43 am

MollyL

Actually, Batman was always dark in the comic books. It's the cartoons and the 60's TV show that made him "lighter".

9:43 am

hootowl

Yeah!

9:43 am

hootowl

No - never as dark as now

9:43 am

Judi

lol, Molly. I think "campy" would be more accurate.

9:44 am

MollyL

Wonder Woman was to The Justice League what Smurfette was to the Smurfs.

9:44 am

hootowl

Ans Spiderman had some angst in the comics but made it the be-all in the movies. Very stupid and unpleasant

9:45 am

hootowl

the TV show was rediculous

9:46 am

Judi

Wonder Woman - another really bad TV show!

9:46 am

hootowl

Well Wonder Woman can fight, and she was there, so she could not be left out

9:46 am

MollyL

I didn't like the Spiderman movies. I never bought Toby Maguire as Peter Parker.

9:46 am

hootowl

Have ANY of the tv shows been good?

9:47 am

MollyL

Linda Carter lives around here and she has a reputation as a first class bitch.

9:47 am

hootowl

I think he was good at it, but script doed him in!

9:48 am

Well look into her eyes. I think that's why they picked her.

9:48 am

hootowl

9:50 am

9:50 am

MollyL

For some reason, I liked The Incredible Hulk TV show. Maybe because of Bill Bixby.

Hi, Peri. I'm so bummed that Borders stores will be closing.

10:05 am

10:05 am

The prices will drop the closer they get to shutting thte doors. *sigh*

10:06 am

I know the prices will go down but less selection. it is a trade off. some people were still buying lots of books.

10:07 am

will go again if the prices are more than 20% off and see what they have left. the cafe was closed and people were complaiing about that. can

I dont think so but he looked the car over and said my air conditioner only works on High and a resistor for $60 would fix that so I told him to go ahead.

uusue, I was asking about you, how are you feeling?

11:04 am

uusue2

better, annie, thanks! still not 100% but should be fine for tonight

11:05 am

Anniebrook

You will. May I ask if you are taking Cipro?

11:05 am

uusue2

I am.

11:06 am

Anniebrook

Yes, that works for me too. You will definitely feel better tonite. If there is a next time, (I hope never) ask the doctor for Pyridium..that will ease the pain while the antibiotic kicks in.

11:06 am

uusue2

Doc's office just called; they cultured the bacteria and the cipro should do it.

11:07 am

Anniebrook

good!

11:07 am

uusue2

they offered me the pyridium but i declined - it wasn't that bad and I like to know the antibiotic is working

11:08 am

Anniebrook

I am glad you feel better.

1st word not accepted today: mnx is a tailless cat

11:48 am

Apparently, Enable considers manx a proper noun.

11:49 am

MollyL

Why breeds of dogs are acceptable (terrier) and breeds of cats are not, I have no idea. Enable is schizo.

uusue2

it is 99 at my dad's, though

12:07 pm

MollyL

Amazing fact I read: Heat is the number one weather related killer. I think people underestimate what it can do to your body, and how quickly.

12:08 pm

JenMO16

only 141 words today?

12:08 pm

uusue2

I agree. We had a heat wave in Chicago a few years ago that killed a lot of people (I don't remember how many but it was hundreds or thousands)

12:08 pm

JenMO16

we have been heat waving the last week

12:09 pm

uusue2

I think that heat deaths are less spectacular than other kinds of weather-related deaths so they don't make the news unless there really are a lot of them

12:10 pm

MollyL

That's probably it Sue. It's amazing that it ranks above hurricanes, tornadoes and the cold though. I never would have guessed that.

12:14 pm

wvteach

According to Wikipedia - The 1995 Chicago heat wave was a heat wave which led to approximately 750 heat-related deaths in Chicago over a period of five days.[1] Eric Klinenberg, author of the 2002 book Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago, has noted that in the United States, the loss of human life in hot spells in summer exceeds that caused by all other weather events combined, including lightning, rain, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes.[2][3] The heat wave heavily impacted the wider Midwestern region, with additional deaths in both St. Louis, Missouri[4] and Milwaukee, Wisconsin,[5] as well.

12:14 pm

uusue2

well, I have about maxed out on the number of hot days I am willing to put up with - and I can type this here because Enable doesn't think that maxed is a word :-P

12:15 pm

uusue2

thanks for looking that up, wv!

12:16 pm

uusue2

Chicago has changed its policies as a result - they have a lot more cooling centers now, people are encouraged to look out for their neighbors, and the electric company can't cut off service during heat waves even if you have been delinquent

12:17 pm

wvteach

just back from a trip out west. Had to wear my fleece or sweat shirt each day. They had record snowfalls so there was still much snow around - 4th of july two ski areas reopened for the weekend. Saw people packing in skis to other areas Then came across the midwesdt in the heat and certainly wished to go back

12:17 pm

Deeha

We had a bit of a heatwave a few weeks ago. Two policedogs died as a result of being locked in a van. The guy that 'forgot' about them was chief dogtrainer for the Metropolitan Police. It was the second time he was involved in a dog death. They picked him up and he jumped from a moving car and was found later having tried to commit suicide.

12:18 pm

uusue2

I'll bet, wv!

12:29 pm

uusue2

deeha, that is awful! He certainly should have known better.

I have gotten into huge arguments with people on message boards about people who "forget" animals and children in cars. I don't for one minute believe this is a case of forgetting.

12:41 pm

hurshy

oh man.

12:41 pm

Uneaixoise

people who "forget" are bad enough, but then there are those who "run into a store to pick up a couple of things" -- hard to figure . . .

12:42 pm

hurshy

no, there legitimately are parents who have forgotten and their kids have died and they are SO devastated. it usually happens if there is a change in routine, where the normal day care drop off is happening differently or something, and people are so much on auto-pilot...

12:42 pm

MollyL

I used to work with someone who ran into the store, leaving his sleeping infant daughter in the car. The claim was that the baby was colicky and waking her would start her crying. He got arrested for it.

12:43 pm

Uneaixoise

i think awareness has been raised big time -- people are more observant and are reporting these incidents more often

12:43 pm

MollyL

Hursh, THAT is what I respectfully disagree about. There is something much more going on than "forget" when someone claims "auto pilot" and leaves a child in a car.

12:46 pm

JenMO16

any parent who lives a child in the car is guilty of negligence no matter what the reason!

12:51 pm

JenMO16

i don't even care if it is a new routine or a new baby, parents should put something in the front seat to remind them they are in the car!

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

I know people who swim across it, a mile! They are nuts

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

are they close enough to invite over sea?

4:34 pm

MollyL

Oh Sea, that's not good for older folks.

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

swimming a mile is nuts enough

4:34 pm

SeaSpray

yes, but my Dad is so old fashioned he would not do it

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

it's a couple and they have someone follow them in a boat

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

he wouldn't come over and visit his beloved daughter for lunch tomorrow?

4:35 pm

rubyfoo

toed

4:36 pm

No...he will stay in the house or go to his farm...back and forth, farm to house, house to farm all day long

4:36 pm

rubyfoo

sorry

Hi Soodle, Hi Sue, Hi JMC and Ruby.

4:38 pm

Soodle

Hey Sea and everybody else! I was so glad to see Ruby I forgot to say hi to everyone else!

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

I guess I had better go to bed. Ruby is up to her old habits.... :(

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

:D

4:39 pm

MollyL

Sea, no rain. It looked like it might for a while, but so far, nothing.

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

<---loves soddle

4:39 pm

uusue2

the program is: I give a reasonably short talk about telescopes and how they work (with lots of snappy visuals); they get to assemble their own telescope from a kit; they go up to the observatory to use the "big" telescope (we have a 14" reflector)

4:39 pm

SeaSpray

same here

4:39 pm

Soodle

Soddle!!!!! Rubes.... go to bed!

4:39 pm

uusue2

but my talk is at 7 pm and it won't be dark until 9

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

we have rain, roses, tomatoes and figs and almosdt mirabelle plums

4:40 pm

rubyfoo

maybe a should turn on the light

4:40 pm

uusue2

and I only have to stay for my part of it, which is good because I am still feeling a bit under the weather, although better than yesterday

4:41 pm

Soodle

Sue, so glad to see it was an 'alls well that ends well' scenario with your son and his ex.

4:41 pm

uusue2

anyway, hi and bye, all, now I need to see how my talk looks on the big screen :-)

4:42 pm

rubyfoo

maybe tomorrow somebody could fill me in. I've missed lots of news, I'm sure....

4:42 pm

uusue2

ah yes, soodle; it isn't quite over yet - for one thing, we don't have the offer from the state's attorney in writing - but things are looking about as good as possible at this point

4:42 pm

uusue2

ruby, if I see you tomorrow I will give you all the details :-)

4:42 pm

uusue2

now I really am off, at least for half an hour or so...

4:42 pm

4:43 pm

you and ruby are both up and running!

4:44 pm

good night everybody

4:44 pm

(((((((Rubes))))) I am delighted you are back in Babble-Land! Good night. X

4:45 pm

goodnight ruby

4:45 pm

rubyfoo

I still can't get my poor husband wirelessly connected, though, maybe tomorrow

4:45 pm

Soodle

Yup, JMC, all good here. And you?

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

my computer died and then my laptop so i went out and bought a new computer so of course my computer came back to life except the shift key

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

but it is on the way out so i am glad i bought the new one before it's final demise

4:47 pm

SeaSpray

did you buy a desktop or laptop jmc? I need a new one for work and am thinking I will just get a laptop

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

a laptop--that is what i have gotten for my law office for the last several years

4:47 pm

crosshair

howdy everyone:)

4:48 pm

Soodle

Bloomin' typical! But best of luck with your new 'puter. My son turns 21 in August, and I am desperately trying to figure out a way to afford to buy him a laptop... If I don't pay the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, I just may do it.......

4:48 pm

SeaSpray

ahhh, think I will do that

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

then if i ne** it on the road it is easier than copying files etc.

4:48 pm

SeaSpray

Hey crossy

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

good thing they are so much cheaper these days

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

hi crossy

4:49 pm

Soodle

((Crossy)). Hi! :-)

4:49 pm

SeaSpray

Yes they are

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

i got a fairly fancy laptop and it was $800

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

When I think about buying them for $3500 for a stripped down model....

4:50 pm

SeaSpray

what brand did you get

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

i got dell in part because the founder of dell was a conscientious objector during vietnam

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

but mainly because they are good computers

4:52 pm

Soodle

I have been looking at prices, and I can get a very very basic netbook for â‚¬200. But my young lad is not a computer geek, and would only be using a computer for internet use.

4:52 pm

SeaSpray

The one I use here at home is a Dell and am thinking Dell for the office as well...been through HP's, Acers...

4:54 pm

SeaSpray

bought daughter a Dell for graduation to take to college 7 years ago and it was a good one

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

ah well then a netbook is the way to go. I used mine in Kenya and was very happy.

4:54 pm

jillibus

hello all -- I just got this eamil and thought you might all enjoy the link:

Ever wonder what the cockpit of the Shuttles looks like?

You might find this overwhelming, but it's just a few gauges, and you get to sit down, too!

This is definitely a classic to save and remember how it was ten years from now. If we are still here...

Follow the link below and click on the far right icon to go full screen and sit back and ponder the end of an era

You can use your mouse to move around the cockpit as well as just watch it rotate. Up and down will show you the entire upper flight deck. Hint: Drag your cursor for horizontal or vertical scanning and use your scroll wheel to zoom in or out. Enjoy.

Bang it here http://360vr.com/2011/06/22-discovery-

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

hi jilli

4:55 pm

jillibus

I guess I should tinyurl that link -- just a minute...

4:55 pm

SeaSpray

I have seen it in person jilli...very interesting

4:55 pm

JenMO16

hey everyone, back from running errands

4:56 pm

jillibus

here you are:

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

hi jen

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

are you suppose to be out running errands already?

4:57 pm

Soodle

Oh Jilli, my proposed â‚¬200 netbook for my son's birthday pales into insignificance as I look at that link!!

4:57 pm

SeaSpray

Hi Jen

4:58 pm

jillibus

trying again: http://tinyurl.com/3ggyx6n

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

i am sure you son will like it better!

4:58 pm

MollyL

That's pretty cool Jilli, thanks for sharing it. Soodle, I have had good luck with Dell products, but our laptops are both Toshiba. No complaints about them either.

4:58 pm

Soodle

:-)

4:58 pm

SeaSpray

Which do you prefer Molly?

4:59 pm

Soodle

Oh thats good to hear, Molls, cos the netbook I'm looking at is a Toshiba!

4:59 pm

jillibus

I like my HP laptop ok, except for the Canadian bilingual keyboard, which is a bit confusing.

4:59 pm

jillibus

oh -- you're looking at netbooks.

4:59 pm

jmcnrick

one of the netbooks i have is a toshiba and i like it a lot

5:00 pm

Soodle

I was a bit apprehensive because it was so cheap.. erm...inexpensive!

5:00 pm

MollyL

Actually Sea, I don't prefer one over the other. Both brands have stood the test of time.

5:01 pm

SeaSpray

Thanks Molly

5:01 pm

MollyL

I'm pretty hooked on having a screen horizontal in front of me, so netbooks hold no appeal for me.

5:01 pm

Soodle

As I was searching for a netbook for his 21st birthday, I couldn't help remembering my own 21st. I got a digital watch from my parents.......My! How technology has moved on....

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

probably cost about the same too

5:02 pm

SeaSpray

I understand, it's like me and reading a book, don't think I could do an e reader

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

horizonal??

5:03 pm

MollyL

The 2-part, 45 degree angle of a laptop as opposed to it being flat in my lap.

5:03 pm

Soodle

Sea, I'm with you there! The feel, smell and experience of a book would be hard to replace.

5:03 pm

SeaSpray

especially at the beach lol

5:03 pm

jillibus

Molly -- are you thinking of a tablet (iPad)?

5:03 pm

MollyL

I have a Kindle, but don't use it much. I like real books a lot better.

5:04 pm

MollyL

Probably Jilli. Netbooks are the teeny, tiny laptops?

5:04 pm

Soodle

Except when you come out of the sea/pool, and your dripping wet, and drip all over the book, and the book disintegrates in front of your eyes!

5:05 pm

MollyL

Well, I imagine it's not very cool to drip all over an e-reader either. Snap, crackle, pop.

5:05 pm

jillibus

hmf -- "android" is ok in morewords but not here.

5:06 pm

jillibus

Yes, Molly, netbooks are the mini-laptops.

5:06 pm

Soodle

LOL Moll. True enough!

5:07 pm

Soodle

So, I understand lots of you guys over the pond are suffering from a heatwave?

5:08 pm

hello all, tech question. I have three windows open, babble, morewords and lickety list from the bottom of the page but I cannot get them together at one time. they all revert to just the babble screen, any help?

6:01 pm

lynxxx

Not tech but have you tried re- sizing each one manually (usually click on the box right hand upper corner to minimise - then get your size holding down on the bottom left hand corner - a triangle of dots) hope that makes sense!

6:01 pm

periwinkle

I have them miminized at the bottom

6:02 pm

lynxxx

You need to get each screen up individually then get the size you want manually

6:02 pm

periwinkle

not sure what you mean by the triange of dots tho

6:04 pm

lynxxx

Try grabbing the bottom left corner with your mouse when the screen is on small

6:04 pm

lynxxx

shoot! bottom RIGHT hand corner - sorry

6:05 pm

periwinkle

size is not the issue, I can get more words and lickety to the right size. but when I click on IE icon to get babble back just babble shows up and not the others

6:05 pm

periwinkle

I appreciate your help tho, lyn

6:06 pm

lynxxx

Can't you resize Babble to be narrower?

6:06 pm

periwinkle

what I am doing at the moment is pulling up lickety and looking at one part of a group of words ie. all the di words and then try to find them and then go to the next group, very tedioius. I have requested babble expert but have not received it yet

6:07 pm

the size is not the problem.

Glad to hear it Sue. Sometimes, it feels like forever waiting for those antibiotics to kick in.

8:25 pm

MollyL

What recipe Welki?

8:25 pm

uusue2

they seem to be working well,molly, thank goodness!

8:25 pm

welki

for blackberry ketchup (or catsup) - to serve with catfish fried in cornmeal

8:26 pm

welki

all my cookbooks are in the basement, but i found it pretty fast

8:26 pm

MollyL

I love fried catfish. Not sure I would go for the sweet and sour ketchup though. I know plenty of people who would like that, however.

molly, who said sweet and sour? only a little bit of vinegar in the recipe, it's deelish

8:36 pm

uusue2

hi, lbd and doxy and welki!

8:36 pm

uusue2

I think the fried catfish sounds great!

8:36 pm

lbdawger

hi UU, hi Welki, hi Moly

8:38 pm

MollyL

Hey LBD. Welki, I would probably try the ketchup. Who knows, I might just like it. : D

8:40 pm

doxy1lover

I think the ketchup sounds good. If it is anything like huckleberry vinagrette it would be great

8:41 pm

welki

it's now in my profile .. if anyone sees Flosey, please let her know

8:42 pm

welki

molly, leave the vinegar out if you don't like it - just use the product a little quicker

8:43 pm

welki

and psssst ... in a hurry, just add 1/2 tsp. cayenne to a jar of blackberry preserves, heat it up and *voila* cheater's ketchup!

8:43 pm

MollyL

I read that as 1/2 cup of cayenne and almost fainted.
: D

8:44 pm

welki

but the real recipe doesn't take long, so unless you'r ready in a hurry or don't have the ingredients, no reason to shortcut

8:44 pm

welki

hot stuff!

8:45 pm

welki

ready = really (sheesh)

8:45 pm

welki

and for the catfishaphobic, it would probably be great on any solid fish like cod or haddock

8:48 pm

doxy1lover

sounds really good welki

8:49 pm

welki

my take on new recipes is, what's the worst that could happen? *lol*

8:53 pm

welki

i guess the worst that could happen is that i kill the chog

8:54 pm

doxy1lover

lol

8:55 pm

MollyL

You didn't kill the chog Welki.

8:58 pm

lbdawger

nope, checking out the recipe, sounds really good!

8:59 pm

lbdawger

brb

9:00 pm

welki

a little tiny bit on top of a cracker with a white crumbly cheese would be nice

9:00 pm

doxy1lover

mmmmm, sounds good

9:00 pm

uusue2

you could substitute distilled vinegar, i presume

9:01 pm

welki

sure .. just not anything stronger than cider vinegar

9:02 pm

shooshoo

b

9:03 pm

uusue2

I wonder if it would work with elderberries? I have a gazillion elderberries.

9:03 pm

Maryte

this recipe looks awesome.....can you seriously substitute it for catchup? Say for fries too?? Love the cracker idea...!!!!

9:04 pm

doxy1lover

sue, I would bet you could use any kind of berry - raspberry, black raspberry, etc

9:04 pm

welki

maryte, it would be good on some meats, too - maybe lamb or pork chops

9:05 pm

welki

but i don't think i'd use it on fries or a burger .. i am a purist in that regard *lol*

9:05 pm

uusue2

mmmm - I'll have to try it when the elderberries ripen

9:05 pm

doxy1lover

I would think pork chops or roast would be good

9:06 pm

Jacula

Hi all, especially doxy. I haven't seen you in ages! How are you?

9:06 pm

welki

try halving the recipe for the elderberries, so you don't waste much if it doesn't turn out well

9:06 pm

doxy1lover

hi jacula, doing pretty good

9:06 pm

uusue2

hi, jac!

9:06 pm

Jacula

Elderberries aren't in season here in UK until about September.

9:07 pm

Maryte

oooooooooo........lamb!!! I am going to make this....please leave it up for a while?? with cheeses.......

9:07 pm

uusue2

it will probably be close to that when mine get ripe, they are just starting to form

9:07 pm

welki

leave it up? hahahahaha ... it'll be ages before i remember to take it out of the profile!

9:08 pm

Jacula

Mary - lamb, one of my favourite meats, is a bit of a sore point with me here in UK at present. The price is very high and likely to stay that way, so my butcher tells me.:-(

9:17 pm

9:18 pm

lbdawger

wanna skype, shoo?

9:18 pm

Jacula

Can't see any sign of greenfly or blackspot on them, lbd, last year's or not!

9:19 pm

shooshoo

yea

9:19 pm

Jacula

I know 'wanna Skype' means 'want to chat privately' but it still sound faintly porno to me! LOL

9:19 pm

lbdawger

it's been so wet here, we barely had a spring. so the plants are all late in blooming.

9:20 pm

Jacula

I can't find my Skype, which is a nuisance, nor remember my user name, which is a double nuisance, since both my kids are abroad at the moment.:-(

9:22 pm

MollyL

Jac..hahaha...agreed about "wanna Skype".

9:22 pm

Jacula

Hi Molly. Yes, it does sound kind of 'rude'.:-)

9:23 pm

MollyL

Lbd, my roses are not doing well this year either.

9:24 pm

Jacula

My roses rarely do well, since my garden has become a sump in the past decade or so, home to fungi, slugs, snails etc.

9:27 pm

MollyL

Oh Jac, what a shame.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Molly - I still grow a few, but other plants do well.

9:33 pm

Jacula

As for my garden becoming a sump, that's mostly down to people paving their drives over to park more and more cars on, council not cleaning drains, ditches and rivers as often as they should. It resulted in 4 house floods a decade ago, so the council, having being stung financially by that, are a little more vigilant now. Though they do seem to be slipping again in the past couple of years.

9:37 pm

Jacula

I've noticed that they've gone back to the old penny-pinching way of sending a chap out on a ride-on mower to cut grass verges etc., but not either getting him to rake the cut grass up and take it away, or sending out another chap with him to do that. The result of that is that the cut grass ends up going down the drains when it rains and blocking them eventually, causing floods.

9:38 pm

Jacula

But the council is only concerned about hw much it can get away without paying for on this year's budget, and not what the getting away with might lead to.

9:47 pm

rururocks

try coke on your roses molly

9:48 pm

Jacula

ruru - coke? The drink or the drug??

9:48 pm

rururocks

the soda

9:48 pm

rururocks

it works on everything

9:49 pm

Jacula

Coke, the drink/soda - rots teeth, cleans drains, cleans toilets etc., but I had no idea it was a plant food!

9:49 pm

Dorens

works? as in making things sticky sweet?

9:50 pm

MollyL

It's not Jac. Just more white trash comments directed my way. Night everyone.
