My brother wears gu7,48 with a hooked consonant on the end. That clue will only work for very few of you here though, haha!

12:36 am

jillibus

Well, waddaya know, dart -- I pay no attention to rankings

12:36 am

rururocks

I have a photo like that we sent to a friend

12:36 am

negativeneil

Or the first letter of your Babble name on the end, ruru.

12:37 am

rururocks

I'm certainly not as hunky as that

12:37 am

negativeneil

That's 'whattaya know'. ;)

12:37 am

negativeneil

Joke... explain later.

12:37 am

negativeneil

As what, ruru? jilli's icon? I'm nowhere close either!

12:37 am

rururocks

I wish I could follow that neil..

12:37 am

negativeneil

But we're still ok

12:38 am

negativeneil

Eyes, ruru. Think... eyes.

12:38 am

rururocks

the gu's are eluding me except a few

12:38 am

negativeneil

And makeup.

12:39 am

jillibus

neil, I've discovered that the letter T has disappeared from many people's pronunciations -- viz "Jenny twenny". Barbara Walters at least says "Twenty twenty" com[plete with the Ts.

12:39 am

negativeneil

I pronounce it, jilli.

12:40 am

negativeneil

'Twenny' just sounds stupid to me.

12:40 am

jillibus

I do too, I hope (Brit background, modified by NYC and Canada)

12:40 am

mrpresident

twenny cend...lazy language

12:40 am

joey

the one that gets to me is las year

12:41 am

negativeneil

Well my parents are educated people, from families of the same... and insisted that we spoke properly.

12:41 am

mrpresident

yes jilli, river can get to that one a little quicker if she needs to! LOL, no calories!

12:42 am

mrpresident

my parents both non english speaking backgrounds, made sure I was educated real goodly!

12:43 am

negativeneil

Very funny, mrp!

12:43 am

negativeneil

I'm always told I speak very clearly.

12:43 am

dcseain

my speech pathologist taught me Standard American English, which is a far cry from the Middle Lowland Appalachian that is my native dialect.

12:44 am

jillibus

I've started a list of pronunciations I hear on TV, such as "corner" for "coroner", "nurshing" for "nourishing", "durble" for "durable", "curnt" for "current" and so on ad nauseam.

12:44 am

negativeneil

And I sent a self-shot video clip of me to a deaf friend on here recently, who was able to accurately lip-read everything I said in it. That amazed me but he said it was easy, because I speak so clearly and pronounce my words well enough for him to see them.

12:45 am

negativeneil

Incidentally, that friend is British, of Spanish-British background. Born and raised in London and still lives there. He's not used to our accents.

12:45 am

jillibus

Well, that was super, neil!

12:45 am

dart001

how a bout burgular (burglar) nucular(nuclear

12:45 am

negativeneil

He went deaf quite recently, because of an accident.

12:45 am

dcseain

i over-enunciate in standard AE, which makes me easy to lip-read

12:45 am

rururocks

aaw dart you are talking about president bush

12:45 am

negativeneil

Yes, Seain. I have a tendency to do that, if anything.

12:46 am

m9f9l

over 1/2 way but still 2 bt

12:46 am

negativeneil

I like people to understand me when I speak. It's kind of important to my career at times.

12:46 am

dart001

not just bush...about half the population now

12:46 am

dcseain

i hope, oh good, that was a large truck and not another 3.x

12:46 am

rururocks

sad

12:47 am

dart001

now I'm stuck in a place that has Greenwich and Arkansas and pronounces them Green-witch and Ar- kansas

12:47 am

negativeneil

Even worse, dart: profane gas. Yes, believe it or not a man we met in Florida once, told us that's how he heats his houseboat. God, did I laugh!

12:47 am

dcseain

wow, that fault's sure been active lately.

12:48 am

dart001

lol neil

12:48 am

dcseain

oh dear, dart, that must be painful

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

12:48 am

mrpresident

12:48 am

jillibus

My grandfather was a phonetician and taught languages by immenrison and phonetics. He taught his 10 children his methods and his son was the technical advisor for the old movie of Shaw's "Pygmalion" and supplied the exercise "The rain in Spain..." He taught at Columbia and his methods were used in Hollywood.

12:48 am

negativeneil

I asked him if the tank emits profanities every time he turns it on. He looked puzzled.

12:48 am

mrpresident

darn it!! speak in-glish!

12:48 am

dart001

to eyeball something past tense volley

12:48 am

dcseain

had a waitress at the Artisan Grill call it the Artesian Grill once.

12:48 am

jillibus

*immersion

12:49 am

negativeneil

And she works there? Ummm, yeah.

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart nbt nbs!!

12:49 am

mrpresident

en6's I believe

12:49 am

dart001

I agree mrp...but they look at you like an idiot if you say it that way

12:49 am

negativeneil

Don't tell me... her hair was blonde?

12:50 am

jillibus

Isn't there a town (not the state) pronounced Ark-ansas?

12:50 am

dcseain

yes, but that is typical for Luray, VA (pronounced Lou-ray locally; it's a corruption of LeRoy, from French)

12:50 am

dcseain

i think there is, jill

12:50 am

dcseain

brunette, neil

12:50 am

jillibus

as is Detroit

12:50 am

dart001

the strange thing jilli is they pronounce the river and the state differently...they are speeled the same way

12:51 am

dart001

spelled

12:51 am

negativeneil

Oh well she sure had blonde moments.

12:51 am

dcseain

exactly, jill

12:51 am

jillibus

ans as for Calais, ME, pronounced Callus...

12:51 am

mrpresident

spelt even

12:51 am

rururocks

spelt

12:51 am

joshuavorbis

hi and nbt

12:52 am

dart001

river = ar-kansas...state ark-an-saw

12:52 am

mrpresident

spelt sounds like a fabric

12:52 am

jillibus

hi and wtg josh

12:52 am

negativeneil

Hi Josh.

12:52 am

dcseain

even the Francophones there say Callus, oddly.

12:52 am

jillibus

spelt is also a grain -- one stid is not allergic to

12:52 am

rururocks

spelt sounds like letterfish

12:52 am

mrpresident

ar-kansas... you serious?

12:52 am

dcseain

i like spelt :) it's tasty

12:52 am

joshuavorbis

i like spelt

12:53 am

dcseain

ar-kansas river in ar-kansaw the state

12:53 am

rururocks

in arkansas.. if you get divorced.. can you still call each other brother and sister?

12:53 am

dcseain

i like spelt better than quinoa

12:53 am

dart001

only the people in kansas say it that way

12:53 am

jillibus

well, dc, if they used the real French pronunciation nobody there would know what they were talking about. When in Rome...

12:54 am

jillibus

Haha ruru

12:54 am

dcseain

guess so, jill. Signage in much of Maine is in English and French, especially in the beach towns and major tourist areas.

12:54 am

rururocks

that one was for neil

12:54 am

jillibus

neil, I'm still trying to figure out what your brother uses (gu...)

12:54 am

mrpresident

quinoa! yum with spinach bases salad

12:55 am

dcseain

gu7 holds up towers, jill

12:55 am

cybernan

don't see that en 6 that means eyeballed -- too tired I guess

12:55 am

dcseain

that is a tasty combo indeed, mrp :)

12:55 am

mrpresident

12:55 am

dcseain

feta's good in that salad too

12:55 am

dcseain

12:55 am

dart001

12:55 am

cybernan

but how do you get a gu 9 and 10 from that!

12:55 am

dcseain

12:55 am

dcseain

12:56 am

mrpresident

12:57 am

rururocks

12:57 am

dcseain

12:57 am

dcseain

watershed boundaries make sense to me

12:57 am

mrpresident

12:58 am

rururocks

12:58 am

dcseain

12:59 am

dcseain

rururocks

rururocks

1:03 am

dcseain

1:04 am

1:15 am

negativeneil

My brother-in-common-law is Finnish. Just moved over here in early January. He probably knows about that binding stuff.

1:15 am

dcseain

he might. it's indigenous to Denmark/Sweden/Norway, so he might.

1:15 am

dcseain

g'night flo, sweet dreams

1:15 am

dcseain

naalbinding is from the Danish NÃ¥lebinding

1:16 am

jillibus

jillibus

Well, a great date might last that long...sorry, jellen, couldn't remember when the shoes were for.

1:33 am

ursh

jilli like people from a country na**** but spelt with diff middle cons

1:34 am

negativeneil

Rhymes with an unwelcome entry and takeover, jilli. na + inv****.

1:34 am

Jellen

Just ordered them, jilli...hope to get them by the end of the week...

1:34 am

negativeneil

Then plural for the na7.

1:34 am

jillibus

ty ursh -- thought of that but didn't try it because I didn't think it was a word. I should know better by now. NBT/NBS!

1:36 am

jillibus

and ty neil too. Hapy too see it's "the intersection of the internasal suture with the nasofrontal suture in the midsagittal plane."

1:37 am

saanichcat

WHAT???

1:37 am

jillibus

*happy

1:37 am

negativeneil

Is that what it is, jilli? Glad to know that.

1:37 am

negativeneil

[like I'll ever remember that... yeah, right.]

1:37 am

jillibus

na6, saan, lol!

1:38 am

saanichcat

I know, it was your description!

1:38 am

jillibus

That's what the ? beside the word says

1:38 am

negativeneil

Must be a gorgeous area you live in, saanichcat.

1:39 am

saanichcat

it really is. Can't abide cities and noise and this is perfect.

1:39 am

negativeneil

Yes. I'm in LA right now for a little while and... ugh.

1:39 am

saanichcat

thanks jilli, silly moi.

1:39 am

negativeneil

I live in Santa Cruz. My mom and brother are trying to convince me to move down here. No WAY. I'm digging my heels in.

1:40 am

saanichcat

LA is about the complete opposite from here, for a settled area.

1:40 am

negativeneil

We're from San Diego originally.

1:40 am

negativeneil

Yeah, I kind of figured that.

1:40 am

jillibus

It's nice and peaceful here too, neil

1:40 am

saanichcat

jillis

1:40 am

negativeneil

I bet, jilli.

1:41 am

negativeneil

It's not too bad in this area... nice suburban area in North Hollywood, but I really hate this city.

1:41 am

saanichcat

we have so far clean oceans, clean well water, clear air...

1:42 am

negativeneil

Move here? Not if I can help it.

1:42 am

saanichcat

where would you like to live Neil (in a perfect world)

1:43 am

dcseain

i would move to Canada or Spain

1:43 am

jillibus

Days like this here are bliss. Before I go to bed I go outside and breathe deeply -- the air is so pure and slightly perfumed by the flowers.

1:43 am

saanichcat

why do you spain?

1:44 am

jillibus

Climate, dc?

1:44 am

dcseain

i used to live there and rather liked it and have a lot of friends there

1:44 am

saanichcat

Jilli, these last weeks have been memorable; so so perfect.

1:44 am

negativeneil

I'm happy living where I do, saanichcat. Santa Cruz is beautiful, especially in my area of it [Monterey Bay]. Google it and you'll see.

1:45 am

negativeneil

I came up here to attend college and liked the area so much, I decided to stay.

1:45 am

jillibus

Almost perfect, saan, until this week -- not quite warm enough for us swimmers until now.

1:45 am

saanichcat

been there, love it. good choice!!

1:46 am

dcseain

i have ties to Montreal and Kitchener/Waterloo, too, and have very fond memories of parties at the Canadian Embassy here, plus time visiting family in Montreal.

1:47 am

jillibus

Late hubby and I had planned to explore the west coast -- Carmel, Monterrey, etc -- never did. :-(

1:47 am

saanichcat

Jilli, that was the aprt of the summer I missed. the swimming. I swim up Saanich Inlet and drift back with the tide. Well, I used to swim but now I walk along the shore now.

1:48 am

saanichcat

dc - parties at the Can. Embassy? How did you manage that?

1:48 am

jillibus

I've loved swimming since I was 3.

1:48 am

dcseain

my dad was Secret Service

1:48 am

saanichcat

oooohhhh....

1:48 am

jillibus

Ooh, dc!

1:49 am

negativeneil

Yes, I love swimming and scuba diving.

1:49 am

dcseain

i was at the groundbreaking for the current embassy, which is a beautiful building that artfully combines the classicism of the West Building of the Nat'l Gallery, the tip of Federal Triangle, and the modernism of East Building Nat'l Gallery.

1:50 am

jillibus

My uncle was MI5 in WW2, and before that some kind of a spy in Constantinople. He's also the one who was that technical advisor who provided The RAin in Spain to the world.

1:50 am

dcseain

it hands-down among the most lovely of the modern buildings on Pennsylvania Ave NW in DC

1:50 am

dcseain

way cool, jill :)

1:50 am

dcseain

swimming is a joy, agreed :)

1:51 am

jillibus

<-- feels a bit of Canadian pride

1:53 am

Jivingjenny0

good morning all, please can someone clue thee 9 and 10 for me

1:54 am

negativeneil

Wow, jilli.

1:54 am

dcseain

you should. here are some photos: http://tinyurl.com/4447drg
the pictures lack context, though, which is part of what makes the building so lovely.

1:54 am

jillibus

hi jenny

1:54 am

dcseain

gu9 and 10 are chemical extensions of the bat excrement, jenny, and good morning

1:55 am

negativeneil

Yeah, batshit + math term.

1:55 am

Jellen

Hi, jenny

1:55 am

saanichcat

BIRD shit

1:56 am

dcseain

added some kimchee to this bowl of soup. SO much better.

1:57 am

Jellen

Huh...I always thought it was bat droppings, too...

1:57 am

negativeneil

Yes, that's what I've always thought.

1:58 am

dcseain

marine birds and bats in Spanish

1:58 am

dcseain

in US English usually always bat

1:58 am

Jellen

Now, I'm wondering what bat droppings are called, lol...

1:58 am

negativeneil

Oh well, just as gross either way I'm sure.

1:58 am

saanichcat

maybe it is in some batty places, quite possible. There is an island where cormorants(I think( have been dumping for centuries and now it is mined for fertilizer.

1:58 am

negativeneil

You really need to know that, huh?

1:59 am

Jellen

Yes!

1:59 am

Jivingjenny0

hi jellen and thank to you all I eventually got 4 words from that

1:59 am

jillibus

thanks, dc, for the pix -- I wondered if Arthur Erickson was the architect, looked it up, sure enough...!

2:00 am

saanichcat

Re guano, justGd it and it is BAT and BIRD droppings. We are all right!

2:01 am

negativeneil

Yay, us!

2:02 am

dcseain

they have a public art gallery that has a rotating exhibit of various Canadian visual artists. One year, the y did a series on Native artists.

2:02 am

Jellen

A quick google search says droppings, feces, and gu***

2:05 am

Jellen

I'll leave some trail mix in the pb for you, saanichcat...

2:06 am

westford

well that wasn't very quick

2:06 am

saanichcat

thanks, J. I was sort of hoping nobody would notice....

2:06 am

westford

hello all

2:06 am

dcseain

hi, west

2:06 am

Jellen

Hi, west!

2:06 am

westford

hi seain

2:07 am

westford

every time I see you I forget to mention how much I like your pictures

2:07 am

dcseain

not quick, does that mean you're home?

2:07 am

dcseain

if so, that must've been a very, very long trip.

2:08 am

westford

no, still in Maine. I left to do dishes and one thing led to another

2:08 am

saanichcat

glean

2:08 am

dcseain

ah, gotcha :)

2:08 am

dcseain

i was rather excited that that word was in the grid today. it's not one one sees in print often

2:09 am

saanichcat

don't even bring trail mix jellen, bread and water will do.

2:09 am

westford

I like that word too reminds me of Keats

2:09 am

dcseain

i have an egg-drop ramen with peas, baby onions, and mushrooms i'm willing to share

2:09 am

westford

mmm

2:09 am

dcseain

ah, indeed, west! :)

2:10 am

Jellen

Ah...it's good for you...cranberry nut antioxidant trail mix...

2:10 am

westford

only in the pb?

2:10 am

dcseain

loaming is another one that's not oft in print anymore. i'll share openly :)

2:10 am

saanichcat

aahh, dc! a true friend, thanks!

2:10 am

westford

hi jellen it does sound good

2:10 am

Jellen

Ooh, that sounds yummy, dc!

2:10 am

dcseain

i have optional soy sauce and/or kimchee to garnish

2:11 am

saanichcat

hmmm, I think the PB will be full soon.

2:11 am

westford

I have wine

2:11 am

Jivingjenny0

I just need the e for nbt and nbs any clues please

2:11 am

dcseain

it's very, very tasty with some kimchee, if i say so myself

2:11 am

joshuavorbis

how much is that doggie in the window, i've been ey5 it for days

2:11 am

dcseain

ey5 likely

2:11 am

jillibus

Health food -- dark chocolate covered dried cranberries :-)

2:12 am

dcseain

or maybe ea6

2:12 am

jillibus

Hi west -- was in the kitchen when you got here

2:12 am

dcseain

yummy, jill :)

2:12 am

westford

hi jilli

2:13 am

westford

I have to put corn in a tall thing

2:13 am

westford

the word that is lol

2:14 am

joshuavorbis

en6/18 is the other for that e

2:14 am

joshuavorbis

e + without female sibling

2:14 am

westford

that's what I just said and hi josh

2:14 am

Jellen

Oh, dc, now you've made me hungry *contemplating ramen*

2:15 am

dcseain

i was hungry, so yeah, that was easy.

2:15 am

westford

before he left DH left me some Belgian chocolate tarts

2:15 am

joshuavorbis

sorry for repeating, west

2:15 am

westford

did I say hello jellen?

2:16 am

jillibus

West, I LOVE your profile!

2:16 am

westford

I'm not criticizing josh

2:16 am

dcseain

hi, josh

2:16 am

jillibus

May I steal it and send it to my usual suspects?

2:16 am

westford

thanks jilli..still haven't figured out my 'blues' name

2:16 am

Jellen

Think so, west...

2:16 am

westford

of course..someone sent it to me

2:16 am

joshuavorbis

weird dy6, dy + nuh uh in bonn

2:17 am

negativeneil

Just replied to your message on Flickr jilli -- and gave you some links you may find interesting.

2:17 am

westford

thank you josh..yes weird

2:17 am

westford

hey neil

2:17 am

dcseain

clever clue, josh, ty

2:17 am

westford

I am thinking about the invite..social networks scare me

2:18 am

negativeneil

This one isn't scary, westford. Can help you with all the necessary privacy settings so you don't get bothered by any strangers.

2:18 am

negativeneil

There are several people you know there already. Babblers.

2:19 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks everyone

2:19 am

westford

they all seem so complicated

2:19 am

negativeneil

Like m9, featherbee, Fauxmage of course, Seain, mrp.

2:19 am

negativeneil

Nah, not really.

2:19 am

negativeneil

My parents, stepmom and brother are on there in our circles too.

2:20 am

westford

the part about videos was disconcerting

2:20 am

westford

almost like big brother

2:20 am

negativeneil

We're having a good laugh on there with that Blue name thing in your profile.

2:20 am

negativeneil

Part about videos?

2:21 am

westford

so can I join one without the other?

2:21 am

negativeneil

The only videos on there are what you choose to upload. I have uploaded several of my own and they are private to anyone except my connections. No one else can see them.

2:21 am

westford

the 3rd option..have to look again

2:21 am

negativeneil

So I'm not sure what you mean?

2:21 am

negativeneil

You don't have to upload any if you don't want to.

2:21 am

negativeneil

Nothing scary about sharing videos anyway.

2:22 am

westford

I see. I thought it was like a nanny cam or something

2:22 am

negativeneil

They're just silly home-made ones. Well, I guess I could say hotel-made and political protest-made too.

2:22 am

negativeneil

No! Haha, where'd you get that idea?

2:22 am

dcseain

no, not at all west

2:22 am

westford

I suppose I should read it again

2:22 am

negativeneil

Thanks, Seain... he's on there with us too.

2:23 am

westford

I still don't have google mail though

2:23 am

negativeneil

It's nothing to fear. If you use one of the IMs I do, I could talk you through setting it up properly.

2:23 am

negativeneil

Well that's easy to rectify:
http://www.gmail.com/
[if you want, that is]

2:24 am

westford

don't do IMs either..was on FB for awhile and really didn't like it...way too much information

2:24 am

negativeneil

FB has nothing to do with a chat messenger, such as Google Talk or MSN's Windows Live messenger.

2:25 am

westford

I do 'words with friends' and chat there and of course chat in babble

2:26 am

westford

anyway, I will think about it when the sun comes up..seems like a lot of nice people are there

2:26 am

dcseain

i really like the community there a lot, west

2:27 am

dcseain

i play words with friends too

2:27 am

negativeneil

Well I'm surprised you even use FB if you're concerned about privacy, because there is no privacy on FB, no matter how 'private' you think you've set your page. Google this term: "view private facebook profiles" and you'll see there are countless pages on the web with scripts that enable any member of the public to view all the contents of any "private" Facebook page. Not so with Google+, that is VERY private.

2:27 am

westford

I think I would too seain

2:27 am

negativeneil

This is why I refuse to use Facebook at all now.

2:27 am

negativeneil

You really would, westford. :)

2:28 am

westford

I said I used to be on FB..not on anymore

2:28 am

negativeneil

Oh I'm sorry, I misunderstood.

2:28 am

negativeneil

Good for you then... very wise decision.

2:28 am

westford

I think so

2:28 am

negativeneil

Privacy is of utmost importance to my family, for instance... and we all use Google+.

2:29 am

westford

is it Mac friendly?

2:29 am

negativeneil

Yes.

2:29 am

dcseain

yes, i use a mac

2:29 am

negativeneil

Plenty of members there are using Macs.

2:29 am

dcseain

using Chrome as my browser

2:30 am

negativeneil

Including Seain, btw.

2:30 am

dcseain

i'm not a fan of Safari

2:30 am

negativeneil

Yes, it works best with Google Chrome, but I have used it with Mozilla Firefox quite well too.

2:30 am

westford

not so much concerned with privacy as with sifting through the twaddle

2:30 am

negativeneil

No, I don't like Safari either.

2:30 am

westford

now I think I'd better wait until I get home

2:31 am

negativeneil

Won't be any to sift through if you let me help you with your privacy settings. ;)

2:31 am

negativeneil

In fact, I even have screenshots to demonstrate how to set it up.

2:31 am

dcseain

makes sense, familiar environment makes decisions easier.

2:31 am

westford

and DH will be there to help too seain..what is this chrome?

2:32 am

dcseain

less twaddle there, and it's easy to mute threads you're not interested in, and you can limit viewing by circle, too, to filter whom you want to read

2:32 am

dcseain

Chrome is a browser from Google

2:32 am

dcseain

i use Firefox also, but Chrome is my current default.

2:32 am

westford

so basically a circle is a chat group?

2:32 am

negativeneil

A circle is a network... a group of friends you add.

2:32 am

dcseain

partially because i beta-test for Firefox, so i'm running a release or there ahead of public release

2:33 am

westford

by invitation only?

2:33 am

negativeneil

I wish you had one of the popular chat messengers, because it would be easy to walk you through everything that way.

2:33 am

negativeneil

yes, it's invitation only for now.

2:33 am

dcseain

that is correct, west, you decide who is in your circles, and with which circle(s) you choose to share

2:33 am

negativeneil

But I can make any screenshots that are needed and send you your own private tutorial.

2:33 am

dcseain

if you choose to share, that is :) some people only comment, of course

2:33 am

westford

I really do like google

2:34 am

westford

I'm starting to get it

2:34 am

negativeneil

You can make a post in the home page 'stream', and choose who to post it to... like you can post it to one of your circles you've added friends to, or all of your circles, or even just one individual.

2:34 am

negativeneil

There's lots of control.

2:34 am

westford

sounds like it

2:34 am

negativeneil

Just don't ever post to the public, because there are a few people in our network to whom privacy is very important.

2:35 am

negativeneil

And if you made a public post, they couldn't comment on it, because the public and search engines could find and index that.

2:35 am

negativeneil

But as long as you only post to your circles or 'Extended Circles' [friends of your added friends], that would be fine.

2:35 am

dcseain

i most often post to 'extended circles' meaning friends of friends, but limit to only 'circles'/friends, or a circle or two sometimes

2:36 am

westford

what do mean by 'the public'? I thought only the invited ones would be able to take part

2:36 am

negativeneil

I do that too Seain, as you've no doubt noticed, whenever I share my political articles.

2:36 am

dcseain

i use LiveJournal and find circles work like filters on LJ

2:36 am

dcseain

indeed, neil

2:36 am

negativeneil

Ok, the public at large can view your profile page. However, you have the option to make any section of that page hidden from them.

2:36 am

dcseain

public means anyone on the web, exactly as it sounds.

2:36 am

negativeneil

But if you make a public post, that post will show up on your page to just anyone.

2:36 am

dcseain

well, anyone on Google+, at least.

2:37 am

negativeneil

Let me show you what I mean, ok?

2:37 am

westford

ok

2:38 am

negativeneil

Here's my profile on there. Tell me how much of it you can see: http://tinyurl.com/3mxx8mk

2:38 am

dcseain

i ought sleep, i think i can now that i've eaten.

2:39 am

dcseain

so, g'night/day and happy babbling, yall! {poof}

G'night, dc

2:40 am

joshuavorbis

my brain is telling me that if gn6 is a word, then ag7 should be one as well

2:41 am

negativeneil

Now refresh my page, westford. I've just set it all public for you.

2:41 am

westford

want me to tell you here, neil?

2:41 am

negativeneil

I'll change it back after you've seen it all.

2:41 am

negativeneil

Sure... like just tell me what you see, like 'photo, name, etc.'

2:42 am

negativeneil

But now it's all public, so you can see EVERYTHING in it, temporarily.

2:42 am

westford

I get it now

2:42 am

negativeneil

That will show you what you're able to set privately.

2:42 am

negativeneil

Ok, you've seen it?

2:43 am

westford

I have

2:43 am

negativeneil

Ok, putting it back to private.

2:44 am

westford

how difficult is that to do?

2:46 am

negativeneil

Easy as pie.

2:46 am

negativeneil

If you can read simple words and click, you can do it.

2:46 am

westford

but it hasn't changed

2:47 am

negativeneil

Refresh the page, westford.

2:48 am

westford

trying

2:48 am

jillibus

ty neil for the flickr message to which I replied briefly. I also had a peek at your Google+ profile, pre-change for wet.

2:48 am

jillibus

*west. It's obviously bedtime for me!

2:48 am

negativeneil

Oh ok, jilli.

2:48 am

negativeneil

I did send you an invite to that too.

2:49 am

negativeneil

I just logged out and checked my page, west. It's all back to private alright.

2:49 am

westford

I thought you might have meant me jilli lol

2:49 am

jillibus

I know, neil -- I'll explain my hesitance in an email.

2:49 am

negativeneil

Can't see anything except my profile photo, the one photo I've shared form my 'scrapbook' [1/4 headshot] and my tagline.

2:50 am

negativeneil

From, even... not 'form'. Yeah, I'm kinda tired.

2:50 am

westford

it's still the same here..could it be because I'm using Safari?

2:50 am

westford

can see the head shot..into and all about you

2:50 am

negativeneil

Maybe, and because you haven't cleared your cookies perhaps?

2:51 am

negativeneil

But don't. Enjoy the page while you can. ;)

2:51 am

negativeneil

Haha!

2:51 am

negativeneil

Not that there's much to enjoy there... but you might get a kick out of some of my videos I've linked there.

2:51 am

negativeneil

I can't anymore.

2:51 am

negativeneil

Not unless I log back in.

2:52 am

negativeneil

Are you sure you refreshed the page?

2:52 am

westford

I'm so amazed that someone so young has done so much..puts me to shame

2:52 am

negativeneil

Try closing that browser window, then going back to my link again.

2:52 am

westford

yes, I did

2:52 am

negativeneil

Done so much? I don't think I've done 'that much' really, compared to most people?

2:53 am

negativeneil

I just happen to be a journalist so I travel for work a lot, that's all.

2:53 am

negativeneil

I've gone to college and worked as a journalist since. And as a photographer and production assistant at times.

2:53 am

westford

no small feat

2:53 am

negativeneil

And a little political writing as well.

2:53 am

negativeneil

Well it's no more than a lot of people do.

2:54 am

westford

and much more than a lot of people do..especially now

2:54 am

negativeneil

westford, see a link there to my FasterTimes article about the Tea Party protest?

2:55 am

negativeneil

Read that. Think it may give you a laugh or two.

2:55 am

negativeneil

In the right side of the page... Links column.

2:55 am

negativeneil

Near the top of that list.

2:56 am

negativeneil

The link just above that is to my blog.

2:56 am

westford

getting it now

2:58 am

negativeneil

Down the right side of my main Blogger Blogspot page, you'll see links to the individual blogs that are in there. Most are reposts from a couple of years ago, that were in my old website until it got hacked and taken down on me. There is one newer blog there, too.

2:58 am

jillibus

Well, I'm getting nowhere with this grid and my pillow calls, so goodnight all and...*poof

2:59 am

negativeneil

And then as you scroll down the G+ page, you'll see my bio and other info... work, education, places lived, etc.

2:59 am

negativeneil

Ok jilli... just got your message and will reply.

2:59 am

negativeneil

Thanks and good night to you.

3:00 am

Jellen

G'night, jilli

3:00 am

westford

well, that was good

3:01 am

westford

I clicked on the link and it took over babble..brave of you neil those people are extreme

3:02 am

westford

I thought they might do some good in the beginning but they are so fanatic it's not funny

3:03 am

westford

oh I guess he left

3:04 am

negativeneil

No, I'm here.

3:04 am

Haz1558

Hello, westford. You are not alone.

3:04 am

negativeneil

I was replying to people.

3:04 am

westford

hi haz

3:04 am

westford

how are the newlyweds?

3:05 am

negativeneil

Huh, westford? Not sure what you mean there.

3:05 am

Haz1558

They're fine.

3:05 am

negativeneil

Oh you mean the tea baggers? yeah, crazy.

3:05 am

westford

that I thought you were gone? I thought you said good-bye

3:05 am

negativeneil

It was... an experience, let's just say.

3:06 am

westford

so nice to be starting out all young and in love..ah

3:06 am

negativeneil

No, I might have said that to someone else who was leaving? Don't know. I'm in a couple of IMs and answering emails and other messages. Oy vey.

3:06 am

westford

multi-tasking

3:07 am

negativeneil

Always, yes. I prefer multi-slacking whenever I can get away with it.

3:14 am

westford

I give up. Can't find either n in the 4th column and already tried 'neil' just in case

3:15 am

negativeneil

Haha, you tried my name?

3:15 am

westford

so many things work in babble

3:15 am

negativeneil

This is not the first time I've been in the grid, since I joined.

3:15 am

negativeneil

It never accepts me though. I feel so dejected.

3:15 am

Haz1558

na6/18 and its plural na7/28 Ends in a charged particle

3:16 am

westford

thanks haz

3:16 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:17 am

westford

one na****, indivisible...

3:27 am

Haz1558

This is a vocabulary enhancing grid. I don't know how I've survived without knowing some of these words.

3:28 am

westford

I often think about using each one in a sentence.

3:29 am

Haz1558

You'd get some strange looks, I'm afraid.

3:29 am

westford

lol that's for sure

3:30 am

westford

I could always talk about socks

3:30 am

Haz1558

Or Scottish regiments.

3:31 am

westford

now I hear bagpipes

3:32 am

westford

and I love them

3:32 am

negativeneil

Using each one in a sentence? Minveryork manages to use a lot of them in one big paragraph.

3:32 am

negativeneil

Her clue stories are fun.

3:33 am

westford

she does

3:46 am

westford

that's it for me..too cold and tired to continue..

3:46 am

westford

good night/day

3:47 am

negativeneil

Me too! Good night west.

3:47 am

negativeneil

See you next time... sleep well.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Sleep well.

3:57 am

Haz1558

And I'm off.

Ruby, I grew up with a dad who owned a local gas and oil distributorship -- I think I inherited his over-the-top fear of fire . . .

8:01 am

Anniebrook

I agree, Mom

8:02 am

MollyL

Ick, words that begin with a vowel. The 9 and 10 are very weird words.

Anniebrook

8:02 am

MollyL

8:06 am

JBV

Thanks! jbv and hello

8:07 am

hurshy

thanks

8:07 am

Mom

thanks, jbv and Molly

8:07 am

MollyL

Hursh, I don't want to start a whole big discussion on the matter, but I did want to tell you that I thought it was rude and uncalled for that you were told to shut up in chat Labor Day morning.

8:08 am

hurshy

oh, thanks molly. it didn't really bother me much, i wasn't totally surprised.

8:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

did that happen really???

8:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

What was the excuse for the rudeness, if I may ask (OK if you don't want to answer or get into it.)

8:10 am

hurshy

i suggested that a certain line of discussion was unprofitable, and the suggestion was not well received, that's all.

8:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

But no line of discussion here is profitable!

8:11 am

hurshy

but there is a difference between neutral and UNprofitable.

8:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

No, really- I am sorry that happened because this is not supposed to be a rude place.

8:12 am

Judi

Good morning, Babblers!

8:12 am

MollyL

Hi Judi

8:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

it's the problem of the internet age- more places for people to be rude.

8:12 am

Judi

Rude? Babblers? Never!

8:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh my gosh- we are so on the edge of the PB!

8:15 am

redturtlehead

Good morning Babblers all!

Anniebrook

MollyL

Neil, you play at the flip right? Were you the one that said "no cluing in the first hour" is no longer in effect?

8:22 am

redturtlehead

I need to also get ready so my MD does not think I am a total schlep.

8:22 am

MollyL

Hope your appointment goes well Red.

8:26 am

Judi

More likely your MD will keep you waiting, Red.

8:32 am

Mr Bob

Morning friends

8:33 am

although it is 50F outside it is 78F in my office, sigh

Hello Mr Bob

8:33 am

and hi to becca, mr bob, hurshy, and all!

8:34 am

hurshy

Sorry hurshy, not here

8:34 am

good morning everyone:)

8:34 am

Judi

Pffth. Not.

8:34 am

uusue2

hi, crossy!

8:34 am

Becca Lorum

Hello crossy

8:35 am

Judi

Hi, Crossy.

8:35 am

hurshy

wonder if it is related to the RNA component 7/8 combo...

8:35 am

crosshair

78 in the office?! open a window before you melt sue!

8:37 am

MollyL

Hursh, I don't think so. I think the word you are looking for ends like the H word for bad breath.

8:37 am

JBV

are there any pilots babbling right now? or lurking?

8:38 am

uusue2

windows don't open, crossy

8:38 am

JBV

or maybe sue --- it's a question about ephemeris time...

8:38 am

uusue2

yes, jbv? (don't know if I can answer but I can try)

8:38 am

hurshy

monkey monkey monkey

8:38 am

MollyL

Oh man, I hate sealed buildings.

8:39 am

crosshair

bu 9 and ten= gu___ (poop) and a si__ on a ossilloscope(sp) and pl

8:39 am

Judi

*whispers* Uh oh. They're cluing above my IQ.

8:39 am

crosshair

gu*

8:39 am

hurshy

thanks cross!

8:39 am

JBV

well, in Italian they use the word "effemeridi" to refer to the hours between sunrise and sunset, but in English ephemeris time is not used in the same way, is there atechnical word for the hours between sunrise and sunset that pilots use

8:39 am

crosshair

si__ wave that is

8:40 am

uusue2

ah, don't know that one, jbv

8:40 am

hurshy

daytime? :)

8:41 am

JBV

LOL, hurshy, yes, we've tossed that around, but it has to be very technical - a plane can't take off until exactly the moment of sunrise (by a chart)

8:41 am

periwinkle

help with top N pls

8:41 am

Judi

I always thought those hours were "the red-ey4"

8:42 am

Becca Lorum

thanks crossy, great clue

8:42 am

crosshair

and of course you go far enough north in nunavic and you can toss all that out the window

8:42 am

hurshy

i see something about "night" having definitions around "civil twilight"

8:43 am

JBV

yes, those definitions are based on astronomical calculations but for some reason in Italian it's a popular word (ephemeris time) but not here

8:43 am

crosshair

yw becca

8:43 am

MollyL

Ephemeral is often used to describe dawn and twilight as it means a time when things are transitory.

8:43 am

Becca Lorum

Just looked up ephemeris time - waaaaay over my head

8:44 am

hurshy

it looks like they just have a very specific definition for "daylight"

8:44 am

Judi

I'm starting to really not like this grid.

8:45 am

hurshy

the time between the beginning of morning civil twilight and the end of evening civil twilight

8:45 am

crosshair

want some fun?,the inuit have well over 150 different terms and phrases for "snow"

8:45 am

Riverdance

hello everyone - back for 10 minutes...crossy thanks for the 9 and 10

8:50 am

Riverdance

oops thanks dose - didnt see your clue

8:50 am

periwinkle

8:50 am

Becca Lorum

I suppose the 150 figure comes from the inflected versions

8:51 am

Riverdance

I have 4....lol

8:51 am

Judi

Down to 139. Need to do some real work. How bothersome! BBL. *POOF*

8:53 am

JBV

thanks, everybody, I was just wondering if the word was known (in English) to someone using it for technical purposes, like flight planning or photography

8:53 am

Riverdance

the first 24 are OK - those last 10 are playing hardball and hiding well

8:54 am

Becca Lorum

8:55 am

hurshy

8:55 am

Riverdance

9:19 am

jmcnrick

good to see you becca

9:20 am

9:22 am

jmcnrick

haha time has a way of doing that

9:23 am

Becca Lorum

How is your kitchen remodel going jmc? (Although I'm sure 'remodel' must be an understatement from looking at your profile pic.)

9:24 am

jmcnrick

slowly

9:24 am

jmcnrick

it took 3 months just to get a permit

9:24 am

Becca Lorum

Oh dear. What's a permit? Is that like planning permission?

9:24 am

jmcnrick

then the hurricane season kicked in and they can't work in the rain with the back of my house gone

9:25 am

jmcnrick

yes it is like a planning permission the city has to check and make sure it is all to code

9:25 am

Becca Lorum

(Why can't I have argy? As in argy-bargy?)

9:25 am

Becca Lorum

Oh goodness, that sounds awful.

9:26 am

jmcnrick

after 2 1/2 months we got the demolition permit but it took two more weeks to get permission to building and by that time hurricane irene came and i was hanging on the back of the house at 3 am trying to prevent water damage

9:27 am

Becca Lorum

Truly awful. Any idea when work can start again?

9:27 am

jmcnrick

it has been pretty much your worst nightmare for a building situation. the only good thing is that i am taking a masters in another town so i am gone most of the week

9:27 am

jmcnrick

when the rain stops which is not today

9:27 am

jmcnrick

haha pu7/7 is right up my alley!

9:28 am

jmcnrick

and i am suppose to meet the insurance guy about the damage to my dining room ceiling from the 100mph wind ripping the tarp off the back during the hurricane

9:28 am

Becca Lorum

Haha, glad you can laugh about jmc

9:29 am

jmcnrick

sure life is to short to get upset about things like this for longer than a few hours--there is nothing i can do about it so i just go on

9:30 am

Becca Lorum

Good positive attitude jmc. Stay with that.

9:31 am

rururocks

too ?

9:31 am

jmcnrick

i will admit after i stood on the second floor of my house the in the wind and rain nailing the tarp as best i could and then picked up all my stuff and abdicated my bedroom to the elements at 3 am i called my son and bawled like a baby for 10 minutes--but i got over it

9:32 am

jmcnrick

hi ru

9:32 am

jmcnrick

9:32 am

Becca Lorum

HI ruru. Too what?

9:32 am

relax in the morning over tea and english muffies on the patio with the mrs instead of up at 5 am to drive into the city

9:43 am

crosshair

the corner office is special because it has more windows and tends to be bigger becca

9:44 am

crosshair

9:44 am

Becca Lorum

most folks here are locked out but since I do some presentations and classes, I need access to some websites for material. Because of that I have no restrictions....yay for me!

9:59 am

grannyrose

crossy, if i had a tablet would be ok, i guess...could they stop me if i had my own tablet? logging in using wi-fi, i mean

9:59 am

crosshair

https://www.torproject.org/ that is

10:00 am

crosshair

if you had a tablet and there was a free wi-fi signal nearby,you would not even use the office router

10:00 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, thanx crossy, will try it next time LOL. would be lovely to actually beat them for once

10:01 am

10:22 am

grannyrose

ruru, have found a cream avaiable over here, has arnica, rosemary oil, sandalwood oil and emu oil in it, has reduced the pain levels and the swelling...maybe something like it over there?

10:26 am

rururocks

does it have a brand name?

10:26 am

rururocks

this grid is frustrating me

10:28 am

grannyrose

over here, just called " pain away, arthritis cream"... local product

10:30 am

vanillaslice

sounds good but a local concoction grannyrose, must see if the health store here has it they have a few products like that, arnica anyway

10:32 am

vanillaslice

probably homeopathic product

10:32 am

rururocks

I think I've been using brain away considering my progress here

10:33 am

grannyrose

but any good health store, should be able to mix it for you. recipe, arnica montana flower tincture equiv 52mg dried flower, rosemary oil 120mg, santalum tincturespicatum(sandalwood) oil 7mg, emu oil 20mg. binding agent hydroxybenzoates and ethanol

10:33 am

vanillaslice

12:20 pm

BzznBea

12:20 pm

BzznBea

Plural for the 10

12:20 pm

bichon

tyvm Bzzn

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

bird poo? i always called that shit

12:21 pm

BzznBea

I was trying to keep it clean today, jm. =)

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

but but but that is bird poo! i know no other name!!!

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

i wasn't criticizing your cluing discretion

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

is bird poo a recognized word in the grid??

12:23 pm

BzznBea

How about bat shit?

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

that is what i am bzzn! but yes i know another name for that

12:24 pm

gwenski

Yes, it's in the grid: a natural manure composed chiefly of the excrement of sea birds

12:24 pm

gwenski

(Hi)

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

hi gwen i finally got the clue i guess i spend more time with bat poo than bird poo

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

nbs with that

12:25 pm

gwenski

We had four canaries once while I was young, but I never heard of this word before.

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

the 9 10 is manure from bird poo?

12:26 pm

gwenski

No, the 5 is the bird poo

12:26 pm

BzznBea

I think when it is just a couple of birds, it is bird poo. When it is thousands of birds it is gu5/16.

12:27 pm

gwenski

The 9/10 is "a ribonucleoside component of ribonucleic acid, comprising ribose and" gu7.

12:27 pm

BzznBea

That is a mouthful!

12:28 pm

gwenski

when it's on your car windshield, it matter not how many birds it came from.

12:29 pm

jmcnrick

rofl only in babbleland would be be discussing the semantics of ephemeris and then the semantics of bird poo

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

when bird poo is on you, hopefully it is from only one!

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

and may it never be a mouthful!

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

okay back to the books 165 left

12:34 pm

BzznBea

G's done...Dryer is crying for attention...*poof*

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

gd evening everybody

12:38 pm

gwenski

Hi ruby.

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

hi gwen

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

I think I missed the clues for the 9 and 10, something to do with bird poop?

12:41 pm

HarryHood

hi all

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

hello harry

12:41 pm

gwenski

Yep. Bird poop + math term (+pl)

12:41 pm

HarryHood

this is tough!

12:42 pm

gwenski

Bird poop is the gu5

12:42 pm

HarryHood

ah thnks for the 9 and 10

12:42 pm

wvteach

thnks gwen

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

thank you gwen, I would never have found those

12:43 pm

HarryHood

wv it's the poop of your icon!

12:44 pm

wvteach

yes it is - caves with lots of bats have huge mounds of gu5

12:44 pm

HarryHood

Dr. No used to mine it, I think...been a long time since I read Ian Fleming

12:45 pm

wvteach

lots of people mine it - don't want to breath air around it - can cause histoplasmosis (sp?)

12:46 pm

gwenski

Bye all. Plan to be back later and (maybe?) finish. Time will tell.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

teach, it took me forever to open your profile! I, too, am a bat fancier. We have tiny black ones that live in a cave in the cliffs above the house and come out just about now.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

They are beautiful and look like little black butterflies

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

and if I stand outside the studio, they come very close and circle me

12:51 pm

HarryHood

clue for the third row E? I'm nbt save for that

12:51 pm

wvteach

we used to be avid cavers in our younger days and spent much time in caves. my youngest son was particularly focused on bats - had pictures, posters of batds all over his room. i have several t-shirts with pictures of bats that i used to wear in school when i talked about bats. WV has lots of caves. The southwest US has more caves with huge bat colonies and the large amounts of gu5

12:52 pm

HarryHood

we've lost most of our bat population these last couple years, in the northeast, due to some fungus. Mosquitos were out of control this summer

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

in Austin, where my son lives, there are millions ob bats who live under the main bridge in town and it's a big tourist draw.

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

Although I love bats, I wouldn't be keen on going into caves....

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

whitenose fungus

12:53 pm

wvteach

i have stayed in the motel that overlooks that bridge. largest urban bat colony.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

we have no mosquitoes and I thank the bats for that

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

the only thing I didn't like about it, when the bats came out at dusk, was the way they smelled!

12:53 pm

wvteach

the whitenose fungus is found in only a few places and is just now starting to be a problem

12:54 pm

lbuxx

hey babblers!

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

bats and bees, collapsing colonies----woe is us!

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

hi, ibuxx

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

do you like spiders, teach?

12:55 pm

wvteach

Carlsbad Cave is a very large cave and people wait there until dusk to watch the millions of batsd come out each evening - like a tornado - and then a dark colored river going down into the valley to feed all night on insects

12:55 pm

wvteach

don't mind spiders but do not like snakes

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

I would love to see that; only a few at a time arrive in my garden

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

I have an argiope (common European garden spider) in front of the house and I feed her flies

12:57 pm

wvteach

here in WV we do not have huge colonies like that - we do close caves to visitors during the Oct. - May if there are bats hibernating in the cave

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

evidently, the colonies in New England that live in abandoned mines are having a big problem with whitenose

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

I've had two come into the house but I couldn't get a good look before I helped them out

12:59 pm

wvteach

New England (I think) is where they first identified the whitenose fungus. If I remember correctly, we (People) are not effected by it but can carry it to other locations, so once it is identified in a cave the cave is closed to visitors.

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

(no screens)

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

that makes sense

1:01 pm

Boobear

Hi all

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

hi boo

1:02 pm

wvteach

they can get through very samll cracks - often come down through an open chimney

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

what do you do when they come in your house?

1:04 pm

wvteach

you can open windows and doors - you can try to trap into a box - i think we had a bird, not a bat, but don't remember - think we might have had one in the attic and just let it find its way out since we didn't use the attic

1:05 pm

wvteach

you can get people who will come and do it for you - make sure they will use live traps

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

we have birds flying or even walking in from time to time and one big female hawk. I love rescuing them

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

no, I don't mind at all, it's husband who is afraid

1:05 pm

wvteach

just as you can make bird houses you can make bat houses that will encourage batds to nest nearby and thus cut down on your insects

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

since there is a cave above us, we don't need to have a bat house. We have a fishpond, though, and I think they drink from it

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

I have a lovely diurnal moth who visits. I keep carrying him out and he keeps coming back

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

an oak eggar

1:08 pm

wvteach

he must like you

1:08 pm

HarryHood

we had one in the house last year. I caught it and had to bring it to the state for rabies analysis (which unfortunately meant the end for the bat)

1:08 pm

lbuxx

this grid is pretty hard today.. whew

1:08 pm

wvteach

raccoons are much more likely to carry rabies than bats

1:09 pm

HarryHood

so does any1 have the 3rd row E?

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

hahah teach. Actually, harry, although there is no rabies in France (yet), they have found rabid bats in Italy, just across the mountains from us

1:09 pm

wvteach

no - don't have it nor the N right above it

1:09 pm

HarryHood

yes wv, but the standard here is to give the shots as a precaution since we found gu5 in my kids' rooms

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

looking at something, harry

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

1:09 pm

HarryHood

so to avoid that we had the bat tested.

1:10 pm

HarryHood

ty ruby!!! NBT!

1:10 pm

wvteach

always better to be safe

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

husband got rabies shots last year after he was bitten by a dog.

1:10 pm

HarryHood

the problem with rabies is that once the symptoms show up, it's too late to give the shots, and it's 100% fatal

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

they weren't as bad as they used to be

1:11 pm

uusue2

<--- has a bat house

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

a girl in Michigan survived rabies after they put her into an induced coma for a long time

1:11 pm

uusue2

and hi, all!

1:11 pm

hi sue

1:12 pm

uusue2

don't know if any bats have ever lived in it, though

1:12 pm

uusue2

hi, ruby and wv, and bye, harry!

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

what kind of bats do you attract, sue?

1:13 pm

uusue2

no idea :-)

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

if you stand under the bat house and dusk and speak, they might come down to investigate

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

at dusk

1:13 pm

uusue2

have had some in the house, although quite a while ago - little bats, brown

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

the little ones here are very responsive to both the dog and to me

1:13 pm

uusue2

maybe 5" long, wingspan about a foot

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

ours are much smaller

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

and look black, but I'm not sure

1:14 pm

uusue2

they were getting in through holes that I have since sealed up (making all of us happier - me as well as the bats)

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

husband wasn't happy when they came in

1:15 pm

uusue2

there was one that i had to remove by hand, as it was still on the curtain in the morning - used a pillowcase and took it outside

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I would love that!

1:15 pm

uusue2

neither of my husbands that were around when the bats came wanted to have anything to do with them :-)

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

when I rescue birds, I usually use a cloth

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

my husband runs out of the room, closing the door and saying "you take care of it!"

1:16 pm

uusue2

I just sealed off the part of the house they were in (one in an upstairs bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in the dining room), opened a window, and they'd be gone by morning

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

but not with the hawk, I just held her by the shoulders

1:17 pm

uusue2

well, it was a cloth pillowcase :-) and i didn't know what i was doing, just made it up as I went along

1:17 pm

wvteach

sue - Illinois has both the "Big Brown batsd" and the "Little Brown Bats"

1:17 pm

uusue2

and I was a bit worried that the bat might be rabid as it seemed a bit lethargic

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

how else? there's no manual!

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

my French wildlife book doesn't mention them

1:18 pm

uusue2

lol, wv, I'm guessing mine were the little brown bats

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

have to go. Good night bat-lovers!

1:18 pm

ursh

hello all - enjoying the chat - also enjoy "saving" creatures - mostly from my cats

1:18 pm

uusue2

well, this was a long time ago, if I'd had the internet back then I might have googled something

1:19 pm

uusue2

night, ruby!

1:19 pm

wvteach

good night ruby

1:19 pm

uusue2

hi, ursh! my cat about went nuts when the bat was flying around the bedroom!

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

my ex-cat used to bring in creatures too injured to save which was very unpleasant

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

your cat probably thought it was a toy!

1:21 pm

ursh

my younger cat loves to hunt but somehow I usually manage to do rescue and release - he is a bit of a softie

1:22 pm

ursh

mind you we are getting into summer and the favourite prey is geckos and he usually manages to kill them

1:24 pm

Deeha

I met a man last night whos RABBIT used to bring him dead birds. One night he heard a terrible commotion , rushed down the garden and saw a fox shoot over the fence. The rabbit was a bit mauled but ok. The next day his neighbour found a dead fox in their garden whos stomach had been ripped open. Talk about Curse of the Wererabbit!!

1:25 pm

HarryHood

oof the killer bunny! it's got fangs!

1:25 pm

1:34 pm

scouser

We had a rabbit called Dandelion. Woe betide one's arms if you picked him up wrong - those back legs were like JCB jaws. We nicknamed the second rabbit JCB cos he did not mow the lawn - he dug great pits all over it instead and had ideas that Australia was in the flower-beds. He was easy to locate by the showers of soil and bulbs.

The problem I have with articles like that one is the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing. They've been arrested, but not yet charged, and certainly not convicted. Yet they all now have names and photos plastered all over the internet as if they were guilty.

That's it! I've got a lot of things to say about your kids. Look at what they're doing! They're SUPER STRONG and they're SUPER DUMB! They're pretty intense and disrespectful! Bedtime with them, they just don't want to go to bed! All of the children's language is terrible! They hit, kick, and bite! They always always ALWAYS run amok! They give other people inappropriate signs ie dirty lips! They cling into their teachers and they constantly scream HARDEST!!! When they cry, they cry HARDEST and UNCONTROLLABLY and HYSTERICALLY and LIKE CRAZY!!!! They run in the street, they yell much the time, and they get STUBBORN and DISRESPECTFUL!!! SO THERE, until you SHOW ME the LONGEST WORD you found in BABBLE!!!!

So i've been trying to get some updates to my profile page on the local chamber of commerce website.

3:34 pm

jesdraggon

it's been... adventurous. decided today to check out the home site of the group that designed the (oh so crappy) chamber page.

3:34 pm

jesdraggon

tell me. would any of you actually pay money to these people to design a site for you? http://lavignegroup.com/

3:36 pm

lbdawger

gu5 before the gu4 that means to swallow quickly?

3:36 pm

jesdraggon

same first 3 letters, then make it an action verb (not gerund)

3:37 pm

lbdawger

the 5 before that, jes

3:38 pm

lbdawger

that darn gerund keeps evading me.

3:40 pm

jesdraggon

sorry, i don't have a 5 before that, dawg

3:40 pm

jesdraggon

the one i have doesn't mean swallowing, it means red-stained.

3:40 pm

sad...Monday is last day.

3:41 pm

I've seen that LaVigne thing before.

3:41 pm

lbdawger

did you find your book?

3:42 pm

shooshoo

no party??

3:42 pm

shooshoo

didn't go

3:42 pm

lbdawger

party might be monday

3:42 pm

shooshoo

went and got return address labels for roy

3:42 pm

lbdawger

70-90% off starting tomorrow

3:43 pm

shooshoo

Will run over there tomorrow..and do the other stuff I had planned to do today and ran out of time

3:44 pm

lbdawger

oh, that's nice. guess we should get him a new address book too.

3:45 pm

shooshoo

tried to make sense out of his addresses for xmas and had no idea where to start.

3:45 pm

shooshoo

On windows 7 can I make purty address labels without a special software program??

3:45 pm

lbdawger

maybe just copy them all, he can decide who gets a card?

3:46 pm

lbdawger

i don't know. do you have MS word?

3:47 pm

shooshoo

yes

3:47 pm

jesdraggon

the website they designed for the chamber sucks. i cannot express adequately my displeasure at seeing multiple exclamation points and phrasing like "Sooooooo much to do" on what is supposed to be a professional site!

3:47 pm

lbdawger

you should be able to put in a design and then shrink it down to fit your address lables

3:48 pm

jesdraggon

it makes me think the thing was done by a teenager on their school lunch break, between text messages.

3:48 pm

lbdawger

Jes, have you complained to the chamber about how unprofessional it looks?

3:48 pm

shooshoo

k will try to play with it today

3:49 pm

lbdawger

there's a tab in word for inserting pictures. i don't know how small you want to go for the return address lables.

3:50 pm

shooshoo

and where do i get the pics from??

3:50 pm

shooshoo

need to know what is a safe site to go to for clip art.

3:50 pm

lbdawger

the web or your camera, or you can draw and paint...

3:51 pm

jesdraggon

yes, i have. the lady that is now supposed to be in charge of the website is brand new, has had all of about 3 hours training in website stuff

3:51 pm

shooshoo

my drawings are kinda like my spellin

3:51 pm

lbdawger

there's clip art in Word already set up.

3:51 pm

shooshoo

oh

3:51 pm

jesdraggon

and can't get access to a bunch of stuff, because so many "behind the scenes" things on the website are broken. For instance, when she tried to update my login information, it wouldn't save the new password.

3:51 pm

lbdawger

omg, jes. maybe her teenager built the site!

3:51 pm

jesdraggon

and that's with her logged in as administration!

3:52 pm

shooshoo

or a veryyyyyy tired retired teacher. LOL

3:52 pm

jesdraggon

I'm seriously considering asking if she wants bruce to redo the whole thing, since he did mine and while he's not a big-name fancy-schmancy designer, he made a clean, well maintained, USEABLE site for me.

3:53 pm

lbdawger

i wonder how the other businesses feel about the site. if you're having problems, i'm sure others are too.

3:55 pm

jesdraggon

I'll be asking around, dawg.

3:55 pm

Boobear

Clue for ar 6/30

3:55 pm

Ty

3:58 pm

jesdraggon

I know, dawg. If we can't get some things tidied up, I won't be paying for a membership next year. It is NOT good advertising.

3:58 pm

jesdraggon

'course, the same could be said of the site I inherited when I bought the clinic; previous bossdoc didn't do websites at all, and the site he had was HORRID

3:59 pm

MollyL

Jes, keep in mind that anyone can hang out their shingle as a web site designer. It doesn't mean they have a shred of artistic talent. And, you need to be able to trust someone that is going to have the "keys" to your web site.

4:02 pm

jesdraggon

Yeah; but looking at the home site of that particular designer, I'd NEVER have hired them. If the web designer's site is that awful, why would I trust them to make me a better one?

4:03 pm

jesdraggon

I mean really--rays of green with purple-winged black pegasi? what message are they trying to get across there?

4:03 pm

MollyL

All I can say is that some people have incredibly bad taste and they can also be cheap as hell when it comes to paying for web site design and search engine optimization.

4:04 pm

jesdraggon

"I'm a teenage girl who likes ponies and bright color, but doesn't really have a developed sense of style" is the message I take away from it...

I hope the fires are well away from you and yours, champ...

7:20 pm

mrpresident

peri... it is good stuff!
can you email me your addy again please sweetie?

7:20 pm

ChampFit

They're about 20 miles away. You can smell it from here. Many friends evacuated and worrying. We need rain BIG TIME.

7:20 pm

periwinkle

ok, will do it now

7:21 pm

uusue2

oh, that is way too close, champ!!!

7:21 pm

ChampFit

Yes, but they seem to be spreading west and east, not coming south toward me. And winds have died down quite a bit.

7:21 pm

mrpresident

i would also suggest you tell your local post office to inform their distribution postal area service that you are EXPECTING a parcel.... and that it WILL be arriving in the next ten days

7:22 pm

jmcnrick

oh champ i forgot you were near austin

7:22 pm

jmcnrick

my nephew got detoured coming home from galveston on monday

7:22 pm

mrpresident

20 miles away is enough to be choking on the smoke that we are seeing on TV here!

7:22 pm

ChampFit

There are separate fires...Austin, and here in Magnolia. That's north of Tomball, jmc.

7:23 pm

mrpresident

and peri, look them right in the eye as you say it hun!!

7:23 pm

jmcnrick

what you are in houston! yikes! i only knew there were two and was left with the impression they were both in bastrop!

7:23 pm

uusue2

well, stay alert, champ, winds can change direction quickly. I think fires are the thing that scare me most (and I have seen a lot of bad weather)

7:23 pm

ChampFit

The smoke was worse yesterday, but today not as bad. BUt...the fire seems to be jumping around up there. People who were ok'd to go home have been evacuated again. Yes...in Houston...actually about 20 miles from the idiot fires.

7:24 pm

jmcnrick

it might be a good plan to pack your car with stuff so you can leave in a flash--most of the people in bastrop lost everything

7:24 pm

jmcnrick

i would head to n'orleans after all turn about is fair play

7:24 pm

ChampFit

No rain in sight...at all...unbelievable! HA!!! I do have family in N.O.!

7:25 pm

jmcnrick

well i hope you will be well and around when i come to houston/austin in octomber champ

7:25 pm

jmcnrick

hope the state won't have burnt to the ground

7:25 pm

ChampFit

There doesn't seem to be a danger to us. Many people are working tirelessly to see to that!

7:25 pm

jesdraggon

I can find room here for a Texan fleeing the flames if someone wants to come visit. You may get drafted to help build a fence while you're here though :)

7:25 pm

mrpresident

that is assuming there is a Austin left!

7:26 pm

ChampFit

The drought is amazing. My mom has lived on a small lake for 30 years, and right now you can walk out 20 feet or more before you hit actual water!

7:26 pm

mrpresident

we lost hundreds of people a couple of summers ago... who communities died... was just tragic... burnt the area of France

7:27 pm

jmcnrick

i remember those fires mr p

7:27 pm

ChampFit

Fire is horrible. Skips one house, burns another. The bad thing is that this is a rural area...horses and livestock sometimes can't be moved because their owners can't get to them. They have to be let loose.

7:27 pm

jmcnrick

is she on lake houston?

7:28 pm

uusue2

map of fires: http://tinyurl.com/3svfe4r

7:28 pm

No, she's on a small lake by HP. It's just sad to see. Lake Houston is having issues too, obviously. Such a mess.

7:29 pm

ChampFit

those dang Mayans were right!!! :)

7:30 pm

jmcnrick

when i was a little girl in houston in the 50s we had a terrible drought with cranks in the yard so big the kids could climb in them

7:30 pm

jmcnrick

but i don't remember there being fires

7:31 pm

jmcnrick

hard to tell from the maps but some of those fires like the one in league city could be near oil refineries and that cannot be good

7:31 pm

ChampFit

It doesn't take much. Trees are all dead or dying.

7:32 pm

it was alraedy pretty bad when i came in april to try to see the bluebonnets

they can have the casinos--you think the fire on the map at Houston is in Tomball?

7:35 pm

ChampFit

No, it's in Magnolia, north of 1488.

7:35 pm

ChampFit

I'm 8 miles south of Tomball, so it's about 20 miles north of here.

7:36 pm

jmcnrick

close up on the map is terrifying

7:36 pm

jmcnrick

pack your car champ so you don't lose everything if something happens--they don't give much time to evacuate

7:36 pm

ChampFit

Peri, I agree! Seems like an all-monkey grid. jmc, it sure is to those near it!

7:38 pm

ChampFit

Honestly, it's not heading this way. I don't know how or why, but it seems contained north/south. And winds are next to nothing.

7:38 pm

jmcnrick

well keep us posted so we don't worry about you!

7:38 pm

9:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

an7 pls?

9:57 pm

herinfernallady

This grid is evil

10:00 pm

negativeneil

an7 -- an + vowel + gerund.

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

bye, dawg

10:01 pm

negativeneil

Sorry! an + vowel + consonant + gerund.

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

and looks like i missed stid. :(

10:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

an + vowel + gerund = an6

10:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

is there a definition of this word?

10:02 pm

negativeneil

an + vowel + 12th letter + gerund

10:02 pm

negativeneil

Or an + railroad + gerund.

10:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

we will be back to sticks and hooops and hooks ere long.

10:03 pm

negativeneil

Yes, oil apparently. I wouldn't have known that.

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

"to administer extreme unction to" says dictionary.com.

10:03 pm

herinfernallady

Hi TO and JEs and anyone I missed

10:04 pm

negativeneil

Really? That's not the definition it gave me!

10:04 pm

negativeneil

I clicked the ? beside it in the word list.

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

for the an7?

10:04 pm

negativeneil

Weird... a glitch in the website, perhaps?

10:04 pm

negativeneil

Yes.

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

that's the def it gave me

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

odd that it'd be different. the defs are related though, as unctuous means oily.

10:05 pm

negativeneil

Origin:
1275â€“1325; Middle English, equivalent to an- on + elien to oil, equivalent to el- ( Old English ele oil < Latin oleum ) + -i- thematic vowel + -en ( Old English -an ) infinitive ending

10:05 pm

negativeneil

That's what it gave me.

10:06 pm

negativeneil

I've just removed one word from that before pasting, of course... so as not to give it away.

10:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i do know that oft gridded word anele means to anoint

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

oh, yeah, cuz you're looking at origin, i'm looking at definition.

10:07 pm

negativeneil

Oh geez. I had to refresh that page to even see that, for some reason. It seems all of it didn't load... no idea why.

10:07 pm

negativeneil

I see it now, yes.

10:08 pm

gapeach

Hey there, y'al.

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

hi peach

10:08 pm

negativeneil

Hi gapeach.

10:09 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for any of the ul's? Thanks

10:09 pm

Jellen

Hi, peach

10:09 pm

Jellen

And anyone I missed...

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

arm bones

10:09 pm

gapeach

This one is a bear, isn't it?

10:09 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, jes

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

gr. the last 2 no6's are eluding me

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

Hi GA and yes it has teeth

10:10 pm

negativeneil

Hi Jellen.

10:10 pm

Jellen

Hi again, Neil

10:10 pm

gapeach

jes, no + not smart - 1 l.

10:11 pm

gapeach

Jes, did that make any sense at all?

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

O nuts I have to go out

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

well, i've come up with several words that mean not smart, but they don't seem to fit..

10:12 pm

gapeach

Jes, the last one is the same first 3 letters + gurund.

10:13 pm

negativeneil

no6,24 - doing something in a manner that's prying, meddlesome, being too interested in others' affairs [think schoz].

10:13 pm

jesdraggon

got the gerund

10:13 pm

gapeach

Well, maybe smart isn't a good word ...not stupid, maybe trying to be funny.

10:13 pm

negativeneil

Good, the one before is related.

10:14 pm

Jellen

Oh, an adverb

10:14 pm

negativeneil

He no**** minded someone else's business.

10:14 pm

jesdraggon

there it is

10:15 pm

gapeach

I need the 2 above them, a 6 and a 5.

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

6 is "no homo"

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

5 is a chemical

10:17 pm

gapeach

Got them, thanks much, jes

10:17 pm

Jellen

I didn't...:-(

10:18 pm

Jellen

No homo? I must be brain dead...

10:18 pm

negativeneil

no6,30 -- a straight person, perhaps?

10:18 pm

jesdraggon

a straight person is no6

10:18 pm

negativeneil

One who is no* ***. But all one word.

10:19 pm

Jellen

Oh, I am brain-dead! Thanks!

10:19 pm

gapeach

Jellen, first 3 letters + not sad

10:19 pm

negativeneil

You're welcome, if it was my clues that helped.

10:19 pm

Jellen

They all helped, Neil!

10:20 pm

negativeneil

I doubt it because I don't seem too good at cluing tonight. Must be kind of brain dead after watching and commenting on that GOP Debate.

10:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

gu7/52 pls?

10:20 pm

jesdraggon

hehe. bruce just showed me a quote from a guy on a forum he's reading: "I'm gay. Any woman would be out of my league, because I'm playing a completely different sport."

10:20 pm

negativeneil

Listening to some of them would lower anyone's IQ a few notches, geez.

10:20 pm

Jellen

By the way, did I thank you for your commentary? Saved me a lot of frustration!

10:21 pm

crosshair

well,this grid has kicked my butt,so i shall bid you all a good night

10:21 pm

negativeneil

I like that, Jes! Gonna pass that on... you know.

10:21 pm

Jellen

lol, jes

10:21 pm

Jellen

G'night crossy

10:21 pm

negativeneil

It did, Jellen? Did you see it on my Twitter page or in the stream on G+?

10:21 pm

crosshair

poink!

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, crossy

10:21 pm

Jellen

In your profile here, actually...

10:21 pm

negativeneil

I posted on both simultaneously.

10:21 pm

negativeneil

Oh, ok.

10:22 pm

Jellen

I don't follow you on twitter...yet.

10:22 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, I pasted it all over to here because I figured ruru might enjoy reading it.

10:22 pm

negativeneil

Please don't.

10:22 pm

negativeneil

That page is all public... want to keep that separate from private, personal networks.

10:23 pm

negativeneil

I don't do anything personal on there... but my tweets are shared in the other network anyway.

10:23 pm

Jellen

Okay...just followed and unfollowed you...

10:23 pm

negativeneil

I mainly just post political comments and links to articls of that nature on there.

10:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

gu8/70?

10:23 pm

negativeneil

Articles even, geez.

10:24 pm

Jellen

I just started following my nephew on twitter...he makes no sense whatsoever!

10:24 pm

negativeneil

How old is he?

10:24 pm

rururocks

HIlarious neil...well done..

10:25 pm

rururocks

I loved the vampire as president bit.. very very funny

10:25 pm

negativeneil

Thanks, ruru... thought you'd enjoy. I just had to paraphrase. That's what they were really saying.

10:25 pm

rururocks

hysterical

10:25 pm

Jellen

He is 16.

10:25 pm

negativeneil

Who are we kidding huh?

10:26 pm

rururocks

the Ron Paul line at the grocery store cracked me up too

10:26 pm

rururocks

who knows what 16 year olds are really saying jellen

10:26 pm

negativeneil

Oh, well no wonder Jellen. Although that being said, I made sense when I sopke or write anything at that age. I was probably a strange kid though. That was only 10 years ago for me... seems like a lifetime ago, haha!

10:26 pm

rururocks

but something more important jellen.

10:26 pm

rururocks

How'd the date go with the new shoes?

10:26 pm

negativeneil

Spoke, even. As you can see, typing is often another matter entirely.

10:26 pm

Jellen

He does retweet some nice quotes, though...

10:27 pm

Jellen

That's tomorrow night, ruru...supposed to get the shoes tomorrow afternoon...

10:27 pm

rururocks

hmm that is really good. I'm proud of you .. I hope you have a nice night

10:28 pm

Jellen

Me too! He's called me several times today, which I think is a good sign...

10:28 pm

negativeneil

Well that's good. Twitter isn't good for too much really... all you can do on there is post updates. That's it. Big deal... so I just share my political opinions and links to important articles of that nature, mostly. And I'm also on there because my brother is and we're following each other... same with Dad. But it has to be all public, so I don't do anything personal on there. I keep that to the private networks I'm on. G+ mainly now.

10:29 pm

negativeneil

That's great, Jellen. Sounds promising!

10:29 pm

rururocks

he better like those shoes... that's all I'm sayin'

10:29 pm

negativeneil

You'd probably get a lauglh out of what we all post on G+ ruru. If you want, I can invite you to join us on there... let me know.

10:30 pm

negativeneil

[Google+ that is.]

10:30 pm

rururocks

You have a sharp eye and a sharper tongue neil. both very entertaining

10:30 pm

rururocks

Google what?

10:30 pm

negativeneil

I thank you. Coming from you that's a real compliment, ruru.

10:30 pm

negativeneil

Google+. Uh, just email me would you?

10:30 pm

rururocks

:D

10:30 pm

negativeneil

Then I can invite you and you can check it out.

10:31 pm

rururocks

It cheered me up to read it

10:31 pm

negativeneil

It's a network we're all on. My family, some of our personal friends and many of my online friends, including several Babblers you know.

10:31 pm

negativeneil

Even mrp is on there with us now!

10:31 pm

rururocks

hmm

10:31 pm

negativeneil

And you could just tell 'A' yourself what you wanted me to pass on to him then. ;)

10:32 pm

negativeneil

You'd probably enjoy reading all my past posts there, too. And commenting.

10:33 pm

rururocks

I need to go ice my knee for a bit. I'll be back later.. I'm sorry.. I am in terrible pain right now..but you really helped my mood..thanks neil

10:36 pm

negativeneil
