negativeneil

No, I didnt'

1:25 am

negativeneil

Ugh. Try that again: No, I didn't "stick to my guns" because I tried to resist moving own here. But now I am... they wore me down.

First she was driving around looking for him (middle of the night) and, finally, called the police. In Babble, we were all telling her to stay home, not go driving around in the dark, etc. But, after that, I don't know what happened. He had left on foot after some sort of dispute with her.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

It was awful a she was hysterical and crying. Hego and Sally and I were all telling her NOT to go out again

3:46 am

sprite

looks like he needed some time for himself. Can't be easy for him either atm... and of course mrP shouldn't go out after him. but she is a headstrong lady.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

that's what we were saying, to leave him alone to so** things out

3:47 am

sprite

yep, by far the wisest way to go.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

we were all really worried as it sounded like she'd behave rashly

3:50 am

sprite

I checked, no news in her profile

3:52 am

sprite

my guess is, if he were still missing, she would be here on babble to vent.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

I hope that no news is a good sign

3:53 am

rubyfoo

silly question, but has lickety put up a list?

3:53 am

sprite

yes but that is an automatical thing, most days

3:54 am

rubyfoo

but wouldn't he have to be at home?

3:55 am

sprite

I don't believe so, as far as I know it updates automatically. But because it uses another version of enable, sometimes it has to be adjusted manually. As far as I can see, this grid should be fine without actual adjusting.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I never use his list, but I thought he had to do something

3:56 am

sprite

I can always see if the list is up, because in my babble browser the box flashes green for new words and red for wrong words.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

(sosmebody's dog is almost in here!)

3:57 am

sprite

lol yes, and almost his nickname too: terror.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:01 am

sprite

time to kill off the Ts. I have 16 left! All Ts.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

first 60 were easy but will have to save the rest. If you hear anything, pls send me an e-mail

4:02 am

sprite

will do, but will be done soon here.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

ooh, just got 2 9's on my own. Amazing!

4:04 am

sprite

wtg :D

4:08 am

sprite

fireflies

4:08 am

rubyfoo

yay sprite!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

4:08 am

sprite

nice going! Have fun and keep me posted :)

4:16 am

MollyL

Ruby, still here?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:17 am

MollyL

Mr. President posted sometime last night that Lickety is at his Father's house. That's all I know.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

ty for that, I was really worried about her

4:18 am

rubyfoo

the last I had heard, at 11PM my time, was that helicopters were looking for him!

4:22 am

rubyfoo

*poof* with 95 left

5:00 am

Sally-catlover

Knock, knock. Anyone there?

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, not bad.

Sally-catlover

Some nice building in the grid.

5:39 am

kje

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

Exactly half here.

5:46 am

kje

6:19 am

Uniquity

Good morning Babbletopia!

6:22 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

6:24 am

rubyfoo

anybody?

6:24 am

Uniquity

Just me, Ruby

6:24 am

rubyfoo

stats for the 10?

6:24 am

rubyfoo

that's a lot!

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

I'm back - and just in time to say Hi to ruby!

6:25 am

rubyfoo

6:25 am

rubyfoo

that was some night, last night!

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

I would like to be a fly on the wall when the wanderer returns :-)

6:26 am

rubyfoo

did you hear that he turned up at his father's house?

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I looked back in the chog to find out what had happened.

6:33 am

Uniquity

I'm only 1/4 of the way through and hitting a wall. Not good.

6:33 am

rubyfoo

just found the y babblet; I always forget that one

6:33 am

rubyfoo

do you have the 10?

6:33 am

Sally-catlover

I just found the whale :-)

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I've been looking for it, recognized the prefix, but still looking

6:34 am

MollyL

Ruby, re 10/84

6:34 am

Uniquity

Definitely no 10 here. I have one 8 (plural of where you might watch a play or film). American and British spellings on the singular.

6:35 am

Sally-catlover

I have three 9s, but not the 10 yet.

6:35 am

rubyfoo

ty, molly, I can always count on you :D

6:36 am

rubyfoo

my best words, on my own, are ca8/50 and 9/66

6:36 am

rubyfoo

given the monkeys an extra banana

6:37 am

MollyL

Good for you Ruby. It's nice to find the larger words without help.

6:37 am

carleekat

morning all

6:37 am

rubyfoo

but still hunting the 10!

6:37 am

rubyfoo

hello carlee

6:37 am

MollyL

Morning Carlee

6:38 am

carleekat

hi molls...ruby

6:38 am

boatierra

I can tell you what the 10 begins with if you want.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

molly told me and I'm fiddling around,....hello boat

6:38 am

carleekat

sliding grid over to where i cant see it... so i will get work done when i wake up

6:39 am

boatierra

Hey :)

6:43 am

rubyfoo

yay, nbt (but still no 10!

6:43 am

uusue2

morning, all!

6:44 am

Sally-catlover

Working on the R words now, ruby. If I get it I'll toss you a clue :-)

6:44 am

rubyfoo

6:44 am

uusue2

hi, ruby! How have you been?

6:44 am

MollyL

Ruby do you want a clue or are you trying to find it on your own? Morning Sue.

6:45 am

carleekat

hi sue

6:45 am

rubyfoo

if nobody else minds, I'd be very grateful -- but it may be too soon for them

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK, thank you, enjoying Indian summer with no Indians

6:45 am

boatierra

Why can't 'redig' be a word??? People do it all the time, grr...

6:46 am

MollyL

The first part describes clothing or decor of the past...the second part is the past tense of what you do on stage

6:46 am

rubyfoo

{{molly}} thank you

6:47 am

uusue2

hi, molly, carlee, and boa!

6:47 am

boatierra

Hey sue :)

6:47 am

Sally-catlover

Got it - thanks Molly

6:47 am

carleekat

did u get your marking done sue?

6:48 am

rubyfoo

this is a nice grid

6:48 am

MollyL

I agree about redig Boat

6:48 am

boatierra

lol, ty :)

6:49 am

boatierra

I also think people 'recater' like when the caterer screws up the food and they have to bring out new food.

6:49 am

carleekat

ok..time to get on the shuttle to take me to the other campus... back in 30 min

6:49 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, and two other words off that 10.

6:50 am

boatierra

But, noooooooooooooo, Enable just isn't up on that!

6:50 am

rubyfoo

and redigest is a nice phantom

6:50 am

uusue2

nope, carlee, the papers are still sitting in my backpack

6:50 am

uusue2

but today I have a fair amount of time so should get them done with no trouble

6:50 am

MollyL

There are several good phantoms today.

6:50 am

boatierra

Redigest, like a cow, lol

6:51 am

MollyL

Very good Boat, gold star for you. : )

6:51 am

rubyfoo

that's what I was thinking, boat

6:51 am

Sally-catlover

And I so want to enter React!

6:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

react and regret

6:51 am

rubyfoo

is decat when you shoo one out of the house

6:51 am

rubyfoo

hello kaplan

6:52 am

boatierra

Oh! Thank you for the gold star :) I haven't gotten one of those in aeons!

6:52 am

Sally-catlover

Not in this house. Stern frown.

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hello rubyfoo.

6:52 am

boatierra

Decat, no doubt.

6:52 am

MollyL

Decat is when you rid yourself of one.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

my Ruby loves them. One comes and hangs out in front of the house near her, the two of them watching "bird TV"

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

lol, bird TV

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

If derat is an word, and it is in Enable, so should decat and dedog be.

6:53 am

rubyfoo

she sits there for hours

6:53 am

MollyL

I agree Kap. Where is the complaint department?

6:53 am

rubyfoo

I love dedog

6:53 am

uusue2

wouldn

6:53 am

uusue2

toops

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

This is it. complain away.

6:54 am

uusue2

wouldn't an oarer be someone who, well, oars?

6:54 am

rubyfoo

I tried it, too, sue

6:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

Deflea, debug, derabbit.

6:54 am

Sally-catlover

We have some bird feeders on suction caps on our windows, and the felines (whoops, nearly!) sit for hours on the windowsill nose to the glass.

6:54 am

rubyfoo

despouse

6:54 am

rubyfoo

(another way to say divorce)

6:54 am

boatierra

I saw a Hoarder episode where a house literally had to be derabbited. Poor little critters

6:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

Despouse = delouse.

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm into it!

6:55 am

MollyL

<---Laughing at despouse

6:55 am

rubyfoo

oh yeah!

6:55 am

Sally-catlover

Is derabbiting when you get rid of the dust bunnies?

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Delicious!

6:55 am

rubyfoo

no, dedust

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Defect.

6:55 am

MollyL

Oh Boat, how can you watch those shows about hoarders? They gross me out.

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Deedledee

6:56 am

rubyfoo

this is ao good, I'm actually laughing!

6:56 am

uusue2

ok, running late, on with the day!

6:56 am

rubyfoo

my sister,(who is one) sends me clippings from the Times about hoarders

6:56 am

MollyL

Good Ruby, laughing is good for you.

6:58 am

MollyL

I'm starting to think Yetta has an "in" with the grid master, like Peri.

6:58 am

boatierra

Dust bunnies, if only. No, the bunnies were left to their own devices and had over run the house. They had chewed through walls and had their own passage ways to get around. It was astounding and massively unsanitary.

6:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

How?

6:58 am

rubyfoo

I'll meet you in the pb, molly, that's the babblet

6:58 am

MollyL

Being in the grid often Kap.

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, yes.

6:59 am

Sally-catlover

Not quite ruby

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

But I am not a word, although I do play one on TV.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

I've only been in it once and everybody thought it was NancyBoy, so I didn't say anything

6:59 am

rubyfoo

sorta

6:59 am

MollyL

Oops, off to rustle up some breakfast in the PB. Yeah Sally, general rule is you can't use a word or a part of the word, or so I understand.

6:59 am

boatierra

Oh, I had a house-sitting gig earlier this summer for a month and the house came with cable, something I don't have. So I got to watch all kinds of thing I normally don't get to watch. I was like a kid in a candy store! *big cheesy grin*

7:00 am

rubyfoo

I won't tell anybody, molly!

7:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

Al n, Y***a, always sit togedda, watching TV every single night...

7:00 am

Sally-catlover

lol Molly, you just did! I know the rule, but yetta is not a word!

7:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

word within a word.

7:01 am

MollyL

Yes I did and that is why I am making breakfast in the PB

7:01 am

rubyfoo

worlds within worlds.....

7:01 am

EvaNadine

good morning babblers!

7:01 am

EvaNadine

hated

7:01 am

MollyL

Peace without end, Amen

7:01 am

EvaNadine

well. starting off with a bang.
:X

7:01 am

rubyfoo

hello evaN

7:02 am

boatierra

Oo, thanks Eva! ;)

7:02 am

MollyL

Yes Eva, I ha5 that game last night.

7:02 am

rubyfoo

amen to that, mols!

7:02 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hop in there for some breakfast, Eva.

7:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

Erect and react are NOT here? I regret that!

7:03 am

MollyL

Sausage, egg and cheese on bagels is almost ready. And the bran muffins for you know who.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

phantom:redactor

7:04 am

rubyfoo

I thought that was French, anyway

7:04 am

EvaNadine

::steals tray of sausage, egg, and cheese::

7:04 am

rubyfoo

can't get decent sausage here, only yucky diots

7:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

My egrets have flown!

7:04 am

boatierra

Oo, egg and bagel sounds good MollyL, yum :)

7:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

Funny, because I don't know if egrets even fly.

7:04 am

rubyfoo

as have my regrets

7:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

How could I have married a man who eats onions at breakfast???

7:05 am

MollyL

Egrets fly

7:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am off to have a neck MRI. SYL.

7:05 am

boatierra

Onions at breakfast? Just counter with garlic :)

7:05 am

rubyfoo

"my" hawk is hanging around, watching the bird feeder. She is gorgeous!

7:06 am

rubyfoo

or a gun....

7:06 am

MollyL

Onions are "breakfast approved". Onions in home fries, sliced onion on a bagel, onions in a western omelet.

7:06 am

rubyfoo

I make DH an egg-white omelet with onions and 3 kinds of hot peppers plus tabasco

7:07 am

MollyL

Hawks are beautiful birds Ruby.

7:07 am

boatierra

Onions in homefries during camping...now that's good stuff :)

7:07 am

rubyfoo

it's South Beach-ish

7:07 am

rubyfoo

she is lovely and misses the little birds but lands on my window box

7:07 am

Sally-catlover

Do you know what sort of hawk she is?

7:08 am

MollyL

One of the best smells ever is potatoes and onions frying in a pan. Ah!

7:08 am

rubyfoo

so I get a really close look and she can't see me

7:08 am

rubyfoo

She is an "epervier d'Europe" grey and white. The males have reddish throats

7:08 am

boatierra

Concur MollyL :)

7:08 am

EvaNadine

welp, speaking of breakfast, i must go forage for some!

7:08 am

rubyfoo

I keep a bird book by that window

7:09 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure she's the same one that came in the house

7:09 am

Sally-catlover

Quick google. A kind of sparrowhawk then. Lovely, and very fast.

7:09 am

rubyfoo

it's a great way of passive bird-watching, having a feeder just outside a window

7:10 am

rubyfoo

she weighs about 5 lbs (just guessing, but from carrying her outside)

7:10 am

Sally-catlover

She got trapped?

7:10 am

rubyfoo

the other day she picked a green finch off the feeder, hit the window, and the little bird shook itself and flew off!

7:11 am

rubyfoo

she flew in the front door; I think she needs glasses!

7:11 am

hego

Morning ladies

7:11 am

rubyfoo

she pooped all over the place in her panic, but when I held her firmly by the shoulders, she settled down

7:12 am

rubyfoo

hello hego

7:12 am

hego

Just checking in to see if Lickety got found

7:12 am

Kittysaur

Yes, he was at his Father's house.

7:12 am

rubyfoo

he turned up at his father's house, molly read and reported!

7:13 am

hego

Oh my, and all that.

7:13 am

hego

Oh my, and all that.

7:13 am

rubyfoo

pretty hair-raising, last night, eh Hego?

7:13 am

hego

Well, I'm glad all is okay.

7:13 am

hego

I worry about that girl Ruby

7:13 am

rubyfoo

I was picturing a panicked mrp. crying and driving around in the dark!

7:14 am

hego

I was concerned about the kids too.

7:14 am

boatierra

Oh, so Lickety was found/turned up OK? That's good to hear. I was wondering.

7:15 am

rubyfoo

I was truly scared for her

7:15 am

hego

I wonder why she didn't check with the family firsy.

7:15 am

hego

uh first.

7:15 am

rubyfoo

when we asked her if he had family in the area, she said no

7:15 am

hego

I was too Ruby

7:15 am

rubyfoo

and he didn't take the car

7:16 am

Kittysaur

She said she called her mother in law, but why not the father?

7:16 am

hego

It was all kind of surreal.

7:16 am

rubyfoo

all very strange.....

7:16 am

rubyfoo

snap, hego

7:16 am

hego

Here you are playing a game and end up doing crisis intervention.

7:16 am

hego

lol Ruby

7:17 am

rubyfoo

I have to go, cooking dinner already, so that I can lie down for a while

7:17 am

Sally-catlover

Not the first time hego :-(

7:17 am

boatierra

lol hego :)

7:17 am

hego

Right Sally

7:17 am

hego

Byr Rube

7:17 am

rubyfoo

I think that is part of the reason we're here for each other. I have certainly been helped by you babblers more than once!

7:18 am

rubyfoo

but I don't think I ever scared anybody

7:18 am

hego

I remember Ruby

7:18 am

hego

But this was really extreme

7:18 am

rubyfoo

like that time somebody in the US did an intervention for zzoozz

7:18 am

hego

I hope they'll be okay.

7:18 am

MollyL

I would have thought the police would have checked with family members before starting a search.

7:18 am

rubyfoo

and sally solved my heron problem!!!

7:18 am

boatierra

Ah! I got the 10 :)

7:18 am

hego

yes that was extreme also

7:19 am

JBV

hi folks, hi and bye ruby!

7:19 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, ruby, if it's just a moan, but speaking for myself only, if I were in that sort of panic I would not be on Babble crying my heart out, but on the phone. Not criticising mrp, you realise, just not understanding it.

7:19 am

hego

good for boat!

7:19 am

MollyL

I remember that Ruby, and I miss Zooz.

7:19 am

boatierra

It's a past tense of the re 8/45.

7:19 am

JBV

yes, many questions, I think our collective blood pressure went up a few points last night

7:19 am

rubyfoo

7:19 am

rubyfoo

does anybody know whatever happened to him?

7:19 am

hego

For sure

7:19 am

Sally-catlover

Is he not here any more?

7:20 am

hego

i don't know

7:20 am

boatierra

Well someone manages the Babble Expert. Either he or she.

7:20 am

rubyfoo

no, he was back for a while, but I've never seen him again. And he is close to my time zone and the same as yours, sally

7:20 am

MollyL

Haven't seen Zooz around in a long time. I hope he's okay.

7:20 am

rubyfoo

so we would see him if he came on

7:20 am

Sally-catlover

Well I've not been around much. Things intervene, and maybe that's all with zooz.

7:20 am

hego

Well now that I'm relieved, I can go have breakfast.

7:21 am

hego

hagd All

7:21 am

rubyfoo

I'm here every day, sally, which says something about my life ( :( ), but I think I would have seen him

7:21 am

rubyfoo

7:21 am

MollyL

Lickety manages Expert and puts the clue list up. He was on this morning to tell people clues were up.

7:21 am

boatierra

There are FOUR 9's?? Ugh.

7:22 am

Sally-catlover

He may just not have chatted. You can look in the archives to find out if he played.

7:22 am

rubyfoo

that is interesting Molly; what do you think that means?

7:22 am

Sally-catlover

They are not hard 9s.

7:22 am

rubyfoo

easy for you to say, sally haha

7:22 am

MollyL

What Ruby, that Lickety was on?

7:22 am

boatierra

Define "hard" ;) lol

7:22 am

Sally-catlover

I thought Expert was automatic. Perhaps the message is too.

7:23 am

rubyfoo

yes, after last night

7:23 am

rubyfoo

aaah, that makes sense

7:23 am

MollyL

I don't think you can send an automatic message to the chat log. Ruby I just think it means that Lickety has access to a computer where he is.

7:23 am

rubyfoo

which means he's OK

7:24 am

Sally-catlover

Two plurals and one present tense 9. Just trying to find the other one, have all of them.

7:24 am

rubyfoo

I'll check lexulous and see if mrp made a move

7:24 am

boatierra

Or at least he has acess to a computer with Internet.

7:24 am

MollyL

I would assume if he is at his Father's house he is okay.

7:24 am

Sally-catlover

Make that three plurals for the 9s, and one present tense of the 10.

7:27 am

rubyfoo

just checked lexulous and mrp hasn't moved since yesterday

7:27 am

Riverdance

Good Morning Babble Friends

It's a long story Carlee. Mr. President was on here quite a bit yesterday saying Lickety had gone missing after a fight.

7:31 am

carleekat

oh dear

7:31 am

Riverdance

just realized I have NBT - whoohoo

7:31 am

debjed

Good morning everyone. Sally, I love your profile pic :) I am also a cat lover and have often thought of having chickens. My neighbors have some and they follow me around.

7:32 am

Sally-catlover

He vanished, went out to the chickens and never came back. mrp was hysterical on here because he had been gone about 8 hours, and ended up calling the police and they were searching with helicopters and so on. Then he turned up at his father's.

7:32 am

carleekat

<sigh>

7:32 am

Sally-catlover

I love my chickens :-)

7:33 am

kittychan

I've been thinking about the things that mrp said yesterday... what if they were meant to force his hand or to take a jab at someone else?

7:33 am

Riverdance

yikes...I wasnt on in the afternoon yesterday so didnt realize she had called the police

7:33 am

Sally-catlover

She did in the end.

7:33 am

Riverdance

that family has gone through so much...they need an escape

7:34 am

Mom

Good morning everyone

7:34 am

Sally-catlover

I have no idea what the original problem was, and not my business, she just said he had done something bad, and we all thought he just needed time on his own to think things through.

7:34 am

Riverdance

boatierra

I asked her what it was that caused such an escalation and she said that she very calmly asked him about something in particular, he denied it, she said that she knew he was lying, he admitted to it, she then asked why she was lying (all still in calmness), and that's kinda when he took off. I'm guessing he couldn't handle the being caught in a lie part.

7:37 am

carleekat

oh dear... well..hopefully they sort it all out... they have been through and still are going through so much...

7:37 am

boatierra

Sorry, I meant to spell check all that before posting it...She then asked why he was lying (all still in calmness), and that's when kinda when he took off.

Oh, why can't 'ogra' be a word, like a female or 4/6?

7:41 am

car.eeyore

Whew! Q's done!

7:42 am

bichon

Licety was at his father's or Glant's husband?

7:42 am

Anniebrook

ogra sounds good to me

7:42 am

Riverdance

congrats car..

7:42 am

MollyL

Annie, Glant and her husband are estranged, yet he refuses to move out. And he is actively having sexual relationships with other women.

7:42 am

Sally-catlover

Lickety was found at his father's.

7:42 am

boatierra

Several of us have been talking about him, Lickety. He was located at his dad's. But we have not heard from mrp since.

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I hope not in the home he shares with Glant

7:42 am

boatierra

lol, annie :)

7:43 am

Such awful dramas here :-(

7:43 am

why doesnt Glant move out....that is terrible

7:43 am

MollyL

Yep Annie, so Glant posted.

7:43 am

I don't think Glant can afford to move out.

7:44 am

car.eeyore

Horrible situations for all of them.

7:44 am

Riverdance

she should not have to live that way....what a jerk

7:44 am

Sally-catlover

From what I read, he has moved another woman into the house.

7:45 am

MollyL

Not sure of all the details Annie. It just sounds like a very intolerable situation.

7:45 am

Riverdance

OMG

7:45 am

de8?

7:45 am

debjed

oh dear. I thought I had it bad being unemployed.

7:45 am

car.eeyore

In both situations though...our friends need to be VERY careful about what they type here. I worry about that for them in the long run.

7:45 am

Sally-catlover

I cannot begin to imagine what I would do in that situation, but I think it would probably make the front pages.

7:45 am

Anniebrook

and the woman went knowing his wife is in the home...

7:45 am

MollyL

And from what I understand of the law, if a couple is still married, one cannot have another removed from a home they both own.

7:46 am

Sally-catlover

de 8 - someone who finds things out, two spellings and two plurals.

7:46 am

Riverdance

has she not filed for divorce claiming adultery?

7:46 am

bichon

The law in Wales or the US Molly?

7:46 am

MollyL

I agree Car. Very much so. This is a public forum.

Maybe if you want to have this forum and make sure your spouse is the one who has to go then the best way to accomplish that is to post here.

hello champ

7:48 am

Sally-catlover

mmm, thinking about British law. Not something I have had to worry about, but I think you could go to a solicitor and get an injunction, especially if you both own the house.

7:48 am

Anniebrook

carlee, I am so happy for you!

7:48 am

carleekat

i am just waiting for my religious studies class to start

7:48 am

car.eeyore

Carlee! I am glad you're back! I missed your Hello earlier! Hello Dahling!!!!!!

7:48 am

Riverdance

I think it works the same here Sally but it all costs money too

7:48 am

Sally-catlover

And if you are married, these days I think that it is assumed that you both own the house, not like once upon a time.

7:49 am

MollyL

I'm not sure you can have someone kicked out of a house they are a co-owner of.

7:49 am

car.eeyore

I dare you to stand up and shout "Can I get an AMEN" in the middle of class......

7:49 am

carleekat

( I had to go to the loo ....being in public place..means packing up everything )

7:49 am

pigeonman

ty. how about the do7?

7:49 am

carleekat

i am good hun...how are things with you?

7:49 am

Sally-catlover

No Molly, but she could have the "visitor" kicked out.

7:49 am

debjed

LOL car

7:49 am

oh...yeesh..so NOT that kind of class hahaha

7:49 am

Sally-catlover

You could change the locks.

7:49 am

MollyL

Yeah River, but I don't think he has moved the woman in. It sounds like he was just bringing her around to have sex with her, gross as that is.

7:50 am

car.eeyore

Tee hee!

7:50 am

boatierra

Wow, what a gem *eyes rolling*

7:50 am

carleekat

this is more... looking at how the jews view moses...then the christians..then the muslims...and why they view the diff stories as they do...

7:50 am

Uniquity

*Popping in* - In Canada, at least, if you have lawyers involved at least, you can certainly have your spouse kicked out of the house, presuming that you are in the middle of a divorce. I work in a law firm and we frequently use items such as Facebook and posts in public forums to prove one thing or another. It's interesting, but very scary as well. **pops back to searching. Stinky grid**

7:50 am

Riverdance

makes my stomach turn....

7:50 am

Sally-catlover

Has the woman (not Giant) no shame? Perhaps Giant should just keep walking in and putting the light on.

7:50 am

Actually, i would find a class like that VERY interesting. Keep me posted on it!

8:07 am

boatierra

re 10/84 - to have reference to or influence on past occurrences.

8:08 am

Sally-catlover

OK, th 10. The first five letters mean sort of vintage, followed by a word meaning what you did on stage.

8:08 am

Sally-catlover

From the 10 you can get the 8, and also the 9 which is the present tense.

8:08 am

car.eeyore

TY!!!!!

8:08 am

debjed

thank you :)

8:09 am

Sally-catlover

And of course the first five letters give you a word on its own.

8:09 am

Sally-catlover

(And its plural).

Ah, got the other two de's, 8 and 9, sweet!

The ca 8 is what men sometimes need when they can't wee. Then plural it.

Whee! Got all the 8's and 9's now!!!!

8:11 am

we will have some moose meat soon boat;)

I really can't eat anything with hooves. Not for ethical reasons, just cause I don't digets it very well.

I've never had moose, but I hear it's good. Buffalo and elk, yes.

There's an ostrich farm about an hour south of where I live that provides most of the meat that serves the valley. It's very popular :)

8:56 am

I think snake is supposed to taste good. I watch all these wilderness survival shows with my husband. They will anything to survive, even larvae

10:27 am

rubyfoo

that's like the joke about why men prefer dogs: they like if you leave stuff on the floor; they find it interesting if you've petted another dog; they don't mind if you repeat things in a loud voice. Just try putting your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for 20 minutes and see who is happy to see you when you open it....

10:28 am

crosshair

..if she has not changed the locks...

10:28 am

boat's clue reminded me of a joke passed on to me yesterday that would be funny if it was not 'sad but true'...
A teacher walked into the classroom at the beginning of the term with a very stern expression on his face. The students immediately scrambled into their desks and settled down.
"I want to get one thing straight", said the teacher. "In this class there are two words that will not be tolerated. If they are used in essays or exams it will result in an automatic failure for that quarter. One is gross and the other is cool. Are there any questions?

11:55 am

A student at the back of the class raised his hand..."What are they?"

CLUES!

1:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How did I miss those de's- they're staring right at me!

1:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like the clies too.

1:02 pm

boatierra

They were probably winkin' at ya.

1:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I had a neck MRI today. It was the most relaxing time I have spent in weeks- what does that tell you?

1:03 pm

Nef

deets

1:04 pm

Nef

sorry. off to PB nowq

1:04 pm

boatierra

I've had one of those. It's amazing how you can completely zone out.

1:04 pm

Nef

what's going on Kap?

1:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It reminded me of two things about growing up in NY- one the noise of the planes from LaGuardia constantly drowning out my parent's classical music and also jackhammers in midtown

1:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So I listened to Bach and pretended I was a child in Flushing.

1:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Just some neck and shoulder pain and a bumpy type thingy on my neck

1:06 pm

boatierra

Excellent choice. That's what I've been listening to for the past hour.

1:06 pm

boatierra

Why the MRI?

1:06 pm

boatierra

Ah, hopefully should provide all the answers.

1:07 pm

Nef

LOL! When I had one in December, I tried listening to "Holiday music" (which I normally love) burt the music was so gratinf th** I mad them change it

1:07 pm

boatierra

Hopefully *the MRI* should...I should learn to finish typing my sentences.

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it's been an ongoing problem--headaches, maybe I need PT, could be a tear or arthritis or misalignment or lymph node cancer or a brain tumor- no biggie.

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Doctors like to rule everything out. Me, I know it's something that needs a chiroprator.

1:08 pm

boatierra

Gah! No biggie.

1:08 pm

Nef

sorry for the typos; I'm tired. Typos may explain why I'm not doing too well in the grid

1:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am my parents daughter, but I staved off the kvetching for a few years longer.

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They had various arthritises quite a bit younger. They of course didn't excer-exersc---go to the gym like I do.

1:09 pm

Nef

not sure what kvetching is, but I like your humor

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am also tired and can't type

1:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Kvetching is complaining.

1:10 pm

Nef

AAH! Th**'s what I thought was humor!

1:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yiddish word.

1:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ask Molly. She knows.

1:11 pm

boatierra

When I was experiencing neck/shoulder/chest pain combo, I kept going to my chiro hoping that would solve it. But no good (for this particular problem). I finally decided to get X-rays, then a head/neck MRI. Turns out I have a herniated cervical disc. Problem validated. Just have to be carful with things now.

1:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I could add that to my list of possibilities.

1:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

KVETCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:12 pm

boatierra

See, being here helps :)

1:12 pm

boatierra

LOL :)

1:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We're not getting older- we're getting bitter.

1:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Was that a typo? Only my hairdresser knows for sure!

1:14 pm

boatierra

Tumor, herniated disc, six of one, half a dozen of the other...

1:14 pm

Nef

It does help to have someone who can sympathize (or empathize even)

1:14 pm

MollyL

You kvetch when you are verklempt

1:14 pm

boatierra

LOL!!!

1:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Torn rotator cuff? Bone spur? Polio?

1:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lyme disease, Lemon disease, grapefruit disease?

1:15 pm

MollyL

How about head not screwed on straight? : )

1:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Rhyme disease, time disease, chime disease, thyme disease? The possibilities are endless.

1:15 pm

Nef

I've had partially herniated discs in my neck since my 20 yr old dtr was 2 and she jumped on my back when I was picking stuff up off the floor. Making the muscles stronger saved me from surgeries

1:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Molly, go fly a kite!

1:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How's that for a snappy rejoinder?

1:16 pm

1:16 pm

boatierra

Oh Nef, I feel your pain!

1:16 pm

Nef

what is verklempt?

1:16 pm

MollyL

I say go see a good acupuncturist.

1:17 pm

MollyL

Verklempt is distraught

1:17 pm

boatierra

Verklempt is like being choked up emotionally.

1:17 pm

uusue2

I've had 3 discs in my neck fused (one at a time, they kept going bad). I know some people have problems with the surgery but for me it was a lifesaver (would have been paralyzed without it).

1:17 pm

Nef

acupuncture is wonderffful; I've found lots of pain relief with it

1:18 pm

uusue2

I would not go to a chiropractor, especially for neck problems - there is a risk of stroke with neck manipulations

1:19 pm

MollyL

Hey acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Think there might be something to it?

1:19 pm

Nef

chiros scare me too! (LONG story, won't elaborate re: confidentiality issue)

1:19 pm

boatierra

Mike Myers used to do a fabulous skit on SNL imitating is ex-MIL being verklempt. The skit was called Coffee Talk.

1:20 pm

uusue2

re acupuncture - nope. It's been tested, doesn't work. Of course, they do have you lie down in a quiet room for a while (at least mine did) with soft music playing - this can provide relief in itself

1:21 pm

MollyL

You are entitled to your opinion Sue. I know several people who have had great results with acupuncture.

1:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who said acupuncture doesn't work? Is it placebo?

1:22 pm

uusue2

Pretty much, kap - there have been double-blind studies done using fake vs. real needles, there is no difference

1:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Chiropractic causes stroke- acupuncture doesn't work...what to do?

1:22 pm

boatierra

What, how, a fake needle?

1:22 pm

uusue2

and molly, it's not my opinion, it's the result of careful double-blind studies.

1:23 pm

boatierra

How is that possible? *boatierra confused* Will have to look that up sometime.

1:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i come to bury boggle, not to praise it (hi all)

1:23 pm

uusue2

the acupuncture needles have an outer sheath so you can't really see the needle going in; they make fake needles that look exactly the same from the outside but the needle inside doesn't actually puncture the skin.

1:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I come to bury seizures, not to praise them.

1:23 pm

uusue2

Quite clever, actually.

1:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If people go to acupuncture and they find it helps them, do they actually not feel as better as they think they feel?

1:24 pm

boatierra

But the subject has to *feel* like the needle is going in, so I wonder how the accomplish that with a fake needle. Amazing.

1:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If you tell someone who thinks the needlles are working that they are not working, will the pain come back?

1:25 pm

Nef

All I know is that it worked for me. I'd pulled some back muscles and couldn't do the meds; also used it for hip, hand, and back arthritis with good effect. If it's placebo effect; I'm glad it worked

1:25 pm

MollyL

Science and scientific data does not explain everything. Science says there is nothing to Lourdes either. Tell that to the people who have been cured there.

1:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is there a control group and out-of-control group?

1:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i thought acupuncture worked because of endorphins (is that the right word?) or naturally-occurring painkillers in the brain

1:26 pm

boatierra

Placebo is amazing. And I've heard very good things about acupuncture.

1:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The endorphin factor is probably significant. It's why kids with lots of tattoos do it for the endorphin rush

1:27 pm

boatierra

Oh I never thought about that with tattoos. Wow.

1:27 pm

Nef

maybe one and the same then.

1:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I wonder if the drug companies have been giving us placebos for everything for decades and we are all part of a big scam.

1:27 pm

boatierra

I just want tattoos for the pretty pretty pictures on my body.

1:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Tattoos and piercings- multiples.

1:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i get endorphins from sings and playing the piano, and also from boggling, of course!

1:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

> singing

1:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I once was well, but now I'm ill, could see but now I'm blind.

1:28 pm

MollyL

There is a great little book called "How To Lie With Statistics". Everyone should read it.

1:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm kinda big on the theory of evolution. And then there's Bill Nye, the science guy...

1:30 pm

boatierra

Oh good G-d no, not piercings. When I got my tragus pierced it hurt like a mother f*****! No endorphins there. I thought I was going to pass out.

1:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm not very into New Agey stuff. Once a colleague of mine showed me a wholistic health magazine that was trying to promote drinking a glassful of one's own urine daily for the health benefits.

1:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

He told me that my revulsion was cultural bias.

1:31 pm

Nef

I feel that certain parts of the body shouldn't be pierced

1:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Excuse me, but didn't we just excrete that stuff for a reason?

1:31 pm

Nef

LOL, Kap!

1:31 pm

boatierra

I've seen that urine shite. Urine is a waste product. I don't see how ingesting it (again) could possibly be beneficial. Blech.

1:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

body modification goes back to beginning of humanity, probably. but I'm not gon' do it! 8-)

1:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I swear this is true!! On my Enable dictionary!

1:32 pm

boatierra

"cultural bias* - that's hilarious!!!

1:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I promise I will not pierce my tongue or drink a glassful of urine.

1:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

CPR works because when you exhale there's still oxygen in your breath. I'm not advocating drinnking urine, but the same principal applies

1:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'd like to see someone here advocate drinking urine- come on, lurkers. I know you're out there.

1:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmmm

1:34 pm

boatierra

For over twenty years I've asked people who have gotten their tongue pierced if it hurt and only one person said that it did. I'm not kidding. I think that they are all LYING. How could it not hurt???

1:34 pm

Nef

nope, not me. No piercings, tattoos or drinking urine

1:34 pm

boatierra

LOL, Kaplan your killin' me!!!

1:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have a lot of young opiate addicts as clients so I know about this stuff. I'm a cool mom.

1:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you say one thing and they hear another, that's how LOL

1:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you ask does it hurt, and they hear, "should i got my tongue pierced too?" and they say NO

1:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Infections on pierced tounges- it has happened.

1:36 pm

boatierra

The only, ONLY time I would advocate drinking urine is if you are lost in the desert and are dying of thirst and have no other available liquids.

1:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

1:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hm. I would cry and drink the tears.

1:37 pm

boatierra

Ew to which, infected tongues or urine drinking?

1:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is going to get very Donner Party soon.

1:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

both are too salty! lol

1:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ewwww to every pleasant subject I have raised for the last half hour.

1:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or Fear Factor.

1:38 pm

boatierra

I would drink some else's tear first before urine.

1:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No headgear in this grid.

1:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

let's talk about doctor who

1:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ask yourselves- how far would YOU go?

1:38 pm

boatierra

No! No spoilers. I can't watch it 'cause I have no cable. Sorry.

1:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have been having wicked insomnia so I'm not too well wrapped today.

1:39 pm

boatierra

We could talk about happiness. Seriously, puppies? How great are they?

1:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we could talk about old doctor who then 8-)

1:40 pm

boatierra

I do need clues for most of the TE's.

1:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I get this weird persona when I am on chats like this. Puppies- oh God, that reminds me of my dream last night, and it was also gross...

1:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, there's a GRID here?

1:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

doctor who and puppies, good, good

1:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Flowers and babies.

1:41 pm

boatierra

Oh! Finished the TA's.

1:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am really a very meek and witless person.

1:41 pm

boatierra

Rainbows and muffins :)

1:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

there's kind of a phenomenon on the chog to get into random weird associations and non sequitors and fall into the PB by mistake.

1:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We almost did it with the tattoos- but didn't.

1:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

brown paper packages tied up with strings

1:43 pm

That's what I love about it :)

1:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The curtains, Maria!

1:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Use the curtains!

1:43 pm

boatierra

Cream colored ponies...

1:44 pm

1:45 pm

boatierra

Were my children up in trees?

1:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lazy oh so lazy oh so lazy- who?

1:45 pm

boatierra

Are their clothing made of drapery?

1:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did the Austrians hate the Nazis?

1:47 pm

boatierra

The Baroness - she was a keeper!

1:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is the captain really a kind man at heart?

1:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

does the pope shit in the woods? (runs and hides)

1:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Boo! Hiss! The Baroness!

1:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

When or why?

1:49 pm

boatierra

I have 9, NINE words left.

1:49 pm

I think the scene in the Cathedral when all the nuns get up and sing How do you solve a problem like Maria with the organ music is the BEST

1:50 pm

Nef

GO, go boatierra

1:50 pm

boatierra

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

1:50 pm

3:22 pm

thanks, Wolvie. It's tough to do; but it's also an honor th** few of us get to do these days, Someone else is allowed to care for our loved ones these days

3:30 pm

MollyL

That is a very tender way of thinking about it New. You are a gem.

3:32 pm

3:38 pm

Nef

Molly, I do think it's a privilege (which I can't spell today) Through my years in nursing I've learned this

3:39 pm

MollyL

It's being a part of the circle Nef. Caring for those who once cared for us.

3:40 pm

Nef

Great way to put it, Molly

3:41 pm

MollyL

While it was difficult to be with both of my parents when they passed, I felt like they saw me in and I saw them out. Not an easy thing, but I'm glad I was there.

3:43 pm

Nef

it isn't easy to do, Molly. But it's a time when you can tell your loved one how much you care and that it's okay for them to go

3:50 pm

I survived teaching.... P.E. My "weakest subject" in fact! SO glad it was only a half day, but had the BEST time ever! :-D

3:51 pm

Nef

YAY, stid! WTG!!! (((stid the teacher!!)))

3:51 pm

stidmama

so the first thing I did was, unlock the gym door. and set off the intruder alarm... LOL

3:52 pm

Nef

LOL!! Great start! :-D

3:52 pm

stidmama

met the very nice and patient custodian who also showed me how to turn on the lights... *sigh* I am a "noob" as my younger son puts it.

3:54 pm

stidmama

I am pleased to see you (and Mom and Molly and Peach and Wolvie? and...) here today. It is sunny at the moment. I am eating cereal with my feet up and a heating pad on my hip (which didn't bother me until I got home and sat down). I am so psyched. Now I can't wait for the next assignment!

3:54 pm

Nef

well, your son can just eat dirt for calling his mother an nnob

3:55 pm

stidmama

no no, it fits perfectly today! :-D in fact, that is how I managed to get to sleep. I reminded myself that I am still very much a beginner and it would be okay if I didn't know everything about the new school. LOL (but it would be amusing to see him eat dirt...)

3:58 pm

stidmama

wow. NBT already.

3:58 pm

crosshair

stidmama! how did the first day go?

3:58 pm

Nef

I'm surprised no one showed you where the lights and doors were though

I hope you are getting some "downtime" Nef -- other than babble...

3:58 pm

stidmama

I was just filling the chog with it cross! LOL

5:35 pm

Has the word CATHEXIS ever turned up in a grid?

5:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What about polymorph? Why does yetta turn up frequently, but I have never seen turnip?

5:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There was a word for crabgrass that I used in the chog by mistake once- it was in the grid- and I no longer know what that word was.

5:40 pm

MollyL

I avoid CVS at all costs. Their pharmacists are dimwits.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They shorted me 80 pills on a rx and made me beg my doc for refills

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They suck

5:55 pm

Shirlockc

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

ChampFit

That was to Kap....

5:55 pm

MollyL

I only shop at CVS for seasonal stuff and sometimes cosmetics, if they are on sale. I like the fact that it still smells like a drug store. But their pharmacy does suck.

5:56 pm

Shirlockc

he has a "discussion" with another patron over on the other side of the car about how to be friendly

5:56 pm

Shirlockc

he gives us a longer than usual song and then precedes to talk to EVERYONE on the subway car to get a response

5:56 pm

MollyL

The New York subway looks scary to me Shirl.

5:57 pm

cosdem

5:57 pm

Shirlockc

i'm trying to READ and he gives me a lecture about how being literate is great but I should appreciate it when God gives me the opportunity to enjoy and be friendly and i shouldn 't have attitude

5:57 pm

Shirlockc

i had to leave the car i was so pissed

5:59 pm

MollyL

The first de6 is the beginning of the word that describes what Dick Tracy is. Cos, did you watch Terra Nova?

as for friend, she is notoriously late.
we were supposed to meet at "6-ish." at like 5:55, i texted to see if we were still running on time -- she said she was still at work on a conference call!!

7:24 pm

negativeneil

Haha, crossy. I drove down to LA yesterday morning, so I got up too early to do that... then didn't even get a nap all day because I was busy apartment hunting. Can't believe the hunt's over already, wow. Now I have to go home and pack and arrange everything... ugh. What fun!

7:25 pm

EvaNadine

why would you make dinner plans if you knew you had a conference call??
and then i still waited for a while for her call to end. finally, an HOUR later, i told her to bugger off, since i needed to eat.

7:26 pm

crosshair

lol,eva you would love it,but my mrs hates it as i am half an hour early for everything

7:27 pm

9:24 pm

westford

I like that name

9:24 pm

Dorens

9:26 pm

stidmama

9:26 pm

I'm hoping you get to sub for a week for someone before you have to sub for someone on maternity leave

9:28 pm

stidmama

oh! jmc! we are more alike than we knew... remember how I got the house re-roofed because of the leaks in the kitchen???

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

and i am going -- too much homework see you all tomorrow

9:28 pm

stidmama

so the kitchen didn't leak with all the rain this last weekend.

9:29 pm

stidmama

BUT... where the furnace pipe goes through the roof... it did. So when I went to check on the furnace it was dripping wet.

9:29 pm

stidmama

bye jmc...

9:29 pm

negativeneil

TC jmc.

9:29 pm

stidmama

so... roofer came to look and the roof itself looks okay, he thinks there is a problem with the flue for the chimney. So now we wait for the furnace guy to come out next week. *sigh*

9:29 pm

westford

gaah stid it's always something

9:29 pm

Nef

it's rough right now, Dorens. Aunty isn't having a good day again; she's needing a lot of nursing care again today

9:30 pm

stidmama

anyway... (((Nef))) that's too bad.

9:30 pm

Dorens

so you retired, but you're still working? hope tomorrow is better

9:30 pm

Nef

stid, that sounds miserable too!

9:31 pm

Dorens

the joys of home ownership stid... the longer you own the house the more things you find out can go wrong

9:31 pm

Nef

working at home; it's been over 24 hours straight now (and for free)

9:33 pm

Dorens

hope you have someone spell you sometimes and take care of yourself. is hospice involved?

9:33 pm

stidmama

well, the good news is I was just checking on things BEFORE I fired it up. So I was able to turn off the circuit to the furnace and put some towels up to catch drips for now.

9:33 pm

stidmama

LOL Doren, too true!

9:34 pm

Dorens

have owned one home or another since 1978... think i've replaced at least one of everything

9:34 pm

9:48 pm

Dorens

9:48 pm

Jellen

9:56 pm

Jellen

Bye stid

9:56 pm

stidmama

Min, it was LOVELY. I was so happy to be there, the few glitches weren't entirely unexpected and I handled them fine, and had a chance to talk things over with the regular teacher at the end so I feel I did a good job. Then I came home and slept for three hours. LOL

9:56 pm

Nef

she's going to sleep in her new LazyBoy-type chair, stid. Best position for heart failure when it's bad

9:57 pm

stidmama

anyway... (((Min))) thanks for asking. I hope your week is going well. I will be back tomorrow! *poof*

9:57 pm

Nef

nite stid

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

10:02 pm

Nef

please could I have clues for the first tr 4 and 2nd tr5? I'm lost

10:05 pm

negativeneil

tr4,4 -- stepped

10:06 pm

negativeneil

tr5,10 -- plural of tr4,4 just before that

10:06 pm

negativeneil

And if you don't have that, tr + alien, plural?

10:06 pm

Nef

thanks, neil. that isn't the 1st tr4; but I got it anyway

10:06 pm

negativeneil

Or aliens?

10:07 pm

negativeneil

Oh sorry! Yeah, I'm not seeing things too well I'm so tired.

10:07 pm

Nef

10:09 pm

negativeneil

No fun is it?

10:12 pm

Jellen

I can't do without much sleep more than a night or two at a time...

10:12 pm

Nef

my brain turns to mush

10:13 pm

Jellen

My body rebels and refuses to wake up in the morning...

10:14 pm

Minveryork

Mine too!

10:15 pm

Nef

I've found AUnty gets very irritable and has a really bad startle reflex when she's tired. It just about scares the **** out of me! When I'm tired I don't need that!

10:20 pm

Minveryork

I gave up on the grid at 5:39,just came here to say hi

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Now I must hit the sheets,so goodnight to all babblers

Jellen

G'night Min

10:23 pm

Nef

11:27 pm

flosey

Neil - can you help me? please?

11:27 pm

joey

what do you need, flosey?

11:28 pm

flosey

I've pushed "Lickety Add" down below the line, cannot retrieve it

11:30 pm

flosey

can just see almost 1/4 of an inch of it

11:30 pm

joey

I would try to close everything to one side and then grab it with your mouse

11:30 pm

negativeneil

Ok westford... sent.

11:31 pm

negativeneil

sorry... check email I mean.

11:31 pm

negativeneil

Help you with what flosey?

11:31 pm

flosey

I have tried that joey, mouse cannot reach it - also closed the computer down and reopened - still stuck down below

11:31 pm

negativeneil

sorry, I was busy elsewhere for a few.

11:31 pm

westford

I know that's what you meant..will look in a minute..racing now

11:31 pm

joey

can you right click on the top bar?

11:31 pm

flosey

thanks neil, please read back 11:28

11:32 pm

negativeneil

Saw it but don't know what you're talking about? The Lickety list page?

11:32 pm

flosey

I can click on the "Hide, Add button but when it comes up that's when I can see a bare 1/4"

11:33 pm

flosey

neil, across the top, between refresh babble and lickety chat

11:33 pm

negativeneil

I don't use that page very often... didn't know you could move anything on it?

11:33 pm

negativeneil

I think I've loaded it twice when I was stuck?

11:34 pm

flosey

I like the lickety add box, saves going back and forth from chat to add word

11:34 pm

negativeneil

ok I just opened it to look. What is it you're having trouble with?

11:34 pm

negativeneil

Don't know what you mean flosey sorry? I don't see anything like that on the list page?

11:35 pm

flosey

not referring to lickety's clues neil, it's the little box between Refresh Babble and Lickety Chat, at the top of the babble screen

11:35 pm

negativeneil

I don't see anything like that on this page?

11:35 pm

joey

flosey I don't think that everyone sees the same thing. I know that I don't see anything like what you are describing

11:36 pm

negativeneil

I can refresh this website... my browser refresh, yes. But the only little box I have is this thing I'm typing in here and the one under the grid to enter words... so I'm a little lost?

11:36 pm

joey

Neil, my screen is just like yours

11:36 pm

flosey

oh ok Neil, I use Babble Expert from licketySplitAus:BetaV12

11:37 pm

flosey

at the top there are boxes:

11:37 pm

negativeneil

Yeah. Of course... that's how the website is. Oh then no wonder, flosey. I posted a link to it in my bio just to be helpful... but I've never even installed it myself. I find using the regular site works well enough for me so far.

11:37 pm

negativeneil

I've never even seen that program yet flosey.

11:37 pm

flosey

Refresh Clues, Send Words To Babble, Send Words to Clues, Refresh Babble, Hid 'Add' , Thin, Lickety Chat, Resources and Options

11:38 pm

negativeneil

Oh no clue. Never even seen Babbleexpert, sorry.

11:38 pm

flosey

ah, ok Neil, sorry to be such a silly bother

11:38 pm

negativeneil

Huh? did I say you were?

11:39 pm

flosey

no, I don't believe you would, that was me talking

11:39 pm

negativeneil

but I'd suggest shutting it right down completely then reloading it? Maybe that change isn't something permanent and if you do that it will be like it was before you did that?

11:39 pm

joey

I am sorry I wasn't able to help you. I tried

11:39 pm

negativeneil

Worth a try anywya.

11:39 pm

negativeneil

Anyway even. Geez!

11:39 pm

flosey

I did close the computer completely and reopened, same !

11:40 pm

negativeneil

Haha, I notice typos the second I make them... but don't always realize until I've already hit Enter.

11:40 pm

negativeneil

I type faster than I think sometimes.

11:40 pm

flosey

but thanks for your time - now must let others get their requests for clues in before flip

11:40 pm

negativeneil

ok, then here's what to do: uninstall the program then reinstall it. It will be all at default settings if it's a new installation.

11:41 pm

flosey

and thanks also, joey

11:41 pm

flosey

ok, will do that, thanks Neil, bfn

11:42 pm

joey

you are welcome. I thought that I did something wrong that you were ignoring me

11:42 pm

negativeneil

Just uninstall and reinstall the whole shebang. That should fix it!

11:42 pm

negativeneil

why would anyone ignore you joey?

11:43 pm

flosey

no, sorry joey, would never do that

11:43 pm

joey

I don't know it was just a stray thought

11:43 pm

flosey

now off to un and re and thanks everyone

11:44 pm

negativeneil

And especially for no reason? Haha, that being said there is someone here who has decided to ignore me for no reason, but sometimes you've just gotta shrug, shake your head and realize reason isn't everyone's gift, huh? but I don't think flosey would ever do that... seems too nice.

11:44 pm

joey

who is that negativeneil

11:44 pm

negativeneil

Not saying, sorry.

11:44 pm

negativeneil

And "Neil" is fine btw.

11:44 pm

joey

np

11:48 pm

negativeneil
