oh that is sad, Kiwi

Sprite I didnt get an answer last time, think you just left, but if you had to solve this grid with dutch words how would you go?

2:19 am

GroovyKiwi

so im sitting here in the dark doing some drinking some playing and some singing - im pathetic tonight

2:19 am

GroovyKiwi

kinda like having a wake in advance

2:20 am

vanillaslice

its for her best groove

2:20 am

GroovyKiwi

i know its still tought cause shes a cute sweet little petitie thing

2:20 am

sprite

never saw the question, vanilla. How do you mean? This very grid? Or a grid designed for dutch words?

2:21 am

vanillaslice

this grid? surely you can't design a grid for dutch words

2:21 am

sprite

of course it is tough, Kiwi. It may be the best for her and you will do it, but it is not the best for you and so you mourn.

2:22 am

sprite

actually, yes, you can. This grid is for english, and has a kind of formula for which letters are used more often and which less. It has some dutch words but not many.

2:22 am

vanillaslice

maybe i should come over and have a drink with you Kiwi

2:23 am

vanillaslice

fair enough, you'd have to more vowels and less c,y

2:24 am

GroovyKiwi

by the time you got here ill probably be passed out lol

2:24 am

sprite

exactly. And I would go about it the same as I do now. Look, type all the words I see, and then go hunting for the rest. I think though, will all the excercise I have had in english grids, I would find a dutch one much harder.

2:24 am

vanillaslice

can see a few dutch words in this not many tho

2:24 am

sprite

mees :) the little bird

7:01 am

sprite

ah well, we all go through tough times now and again, don't we. Sorry to hear your year was so bad, but happy with the happy ending. I think if we don't give in and don't give up, things are bound to get happier :)

7:03 am

jaianniah

Absolutely! Positive is good...Nearly died in 2009-2010 from a bad necrotic infection in right knee and leg...finished up with knee replacement in May 2011...been going well ever since!

I just ordered trees (tiny) from Itasca Greenhouses--somewhere in Minnesota. I found them on-line and ordered Ponderosa pines, white pines, balsam fir, and others that I would like to strategically place in yard to enhance privacy.

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Some birch trees too. Buying saplings would have been ideal but far more expensive.

7:47 am

8:18 am

uusue2

carlee, friends sounds like the right thing (and maybe sort of distant friends?)

8:18 am

carleekat

not promising....but was nice to rekindle a friendship...have adult conversationwithout every other word being "like" and not involving the criminal code

8:18 am

Mom

to hit something with force is to ra* it

8:19 am

Mom

I could have just spelled it out with all the info I just came for it :-(

8:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

OH, ok- I was looking in the wrong place.

Hi all

Anyone here?

9:04 am

good morning bichon

9:04 am

bichon

Hi wv

9:05 am

wvteach

rainy and dark morning here

9:06 am

bichon

same here wv. Looks like I'll be rained out of my daily walk

9:07 am

wvteach

good day to stay in at the computer, but have already been out once and have to go out again this afternoon

9:08 am

bichon

I wouldn't mind walking in the rain, but the fluffs would. When it's like this, they won't even want to poop outside.

9:09 am

wvteach

must have been windy last night along with the rain - lots of leaves down on the grass

9:10 am

bichon

this year's folliage season is a bust. With all the rain we had in Aug & Sept., it's pretty poor

9:11 am

wvteach

i have been surprised that we have (had) as much color as we did because of the dry summer and then the heavy rain also in Aug / Sept

9:12 am

bichon

I think you've had much more of a drought this summer than we did. We've had over 20" more rain than average this year. My m.i.l. in Richmond complains about the lack of rain there all the time.

9:13 am

wvteach

this summer was unusually hot and also dry

9:14 am

bichon

I haven't taken my winter clothes out from the attic yet, it's been so warm

9:15 am

wvteach

have gotten out some long sleeve shirts and sweat shirts - have a sweat shirt on right now from being out early to take my granddaughter to school

9:17 am

wvteach

son and DIL are away for 10 days and the two grandmas have split up the tasks of caring for the two grandchildren for each day

9:18 am

bichon

wow, ten day vacation for them. That's neat. My grand daughter will be staying over night tomorrow. We are going to bake cookies.

9:19 am

wvteach

son has a conference and DIL going along to make it a vacation in San Francisco - neither has ever been there. My granddaughter (5) often stays over on the weekends and she also likes to help with the baking. The grandson is only 11 months old.

9:20 am

bichon

SF, lucky them. I visit the Bay Area a lot as son and family live there. So much to do.

9:21 am

wvteach

They just left last night and come back next Saturday. Think the conference probably starts Monday so they have this weekend to both be tourists

9:22 am

bichon

The weather's nice there at this time of year. It's before the rains start and usually sunny and mild

9:22 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:) reading back,since we have already had 2 frosts up here,the last 2 weeks have been amazing with the fall colours,but now it has rained for the last 3 days and is supposed to rain for 3 more

9:23 am

wvteach

DIL couldn't decide yesterday what kinds of clothes to back - warm or cool weather. So she packed both - she slways has much more than she needs.

9:24 am

bichon

It's quite warm there now. It was 83 in San Mateo [south of the airport] yesterday

9:24 am

wvteach

i assume, crossy, that you have lots of reds with the maples. We have mostly yellows with a little red

9:24 am

bichon

crossy, defragged yesterday and it didn't find anything to defrag. It's a fairly new computer

9:25 am

crosshair

bright reds,yellows,and a variety or oranges

9:25 am

thats is well bichon

crossy loves fall:))

9:25 am

bichon

ty crossy

9:26 am

bichon

I love fall too: apple picking, long walks in the cool crip air

9:26 am

bichon

crossy, can you defrag a Mac?

9:27 am

crosshair

all our orchards are harvesting now:) there must be 30 varieties of apple bins at the market:))))

9:27 am

crosshair

i am sure you can bichon,but i have never owned a mac

9:27 am

crosshair

anything with a internal hard drive should have a way to be defragged

9:27 am

bichon

I guess I can google it

9:27 am

crosshair

but i see the new solid state drives do not

9:29 am

bichon

It sounded like you have to use third party software or reinitialize the hard drive. I am not doing that

9:30 am

bichon

My Mac is old and tired. I wanted my sone who works at Google to do it, but he didn't want to

9:31 am

crosshair

i see,seems bichon that mac do not have a onboard framentation program and you must use 3rd party software..so caution is reccomended

9:31 am

bichon

I dont think it is worth it.

9:31 am

crosshair

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1634

9:32 am

crosshair

snap btw lol

9:33 am

crosshair

and since most apples i see are all in one units,we cannot just swap out the old hard drive if a problem occurs(thats why crossy makes his own)

9:34 am

crosshair

though dealing with windows and mr gates can be a pain:/

9:34 am

crosshair

i cannot wait till the google os ships

9:34 am

bichon

Think I'll just leave as is. I mostly use my new Dell laptop

9:35 am

crosshair

dell..shudder

9:35 am

bichon

I haven't heard anything about the google os

9:35 am

crosshair

it is in the works

9:36 am

crosshair

i am having a great time with my first experience with an andriod os on the wifes tablet..it is quite fun:))

9:38 am

crosshair

first week was hard,i kept trying to do things the old hard windows way that is ingrained in all of us,but once i sat back and let it do all the work for me,it was easy lol

9:38 am

bichon

I don't have a tablet. but I do have an android phone

9:38 am

crosshair

well,when you do decide on a tablet,get an andriod one

9:39 am

crosshair

samsung galaxy tablet or the asus transformer tab would be my 2 reccomendations

9:39 am

bichon

I don't know why I would get a tablet. What would I do on it I couldn't do on a laptop

9:40 am

crosshair

you can sit on the john and play babble at the same time,without balancing it on yer knees lol

9:40 am

bichon

no, seriously, what is the big difference

9:40 am

crosshair

and bichon,check this..my tablet has a 16 hour!!! battery life!

9:40 am

crosshair

that is one big diff

9:41 am

crosshair

with my asus,it had a keyboard docking station,so it can be a tablet or a laptop

9:41 am

bichon

Okay, I can understand 16 hour battery life, but I don't play games except Babble

9:42 am

crosshair

it is also an e-book reader that can fit in the hands comfortably when you untether it from the keyboard

9:43 am

crosshair

it is a video camera,a regular camer as well,and does voice/picture phone calls

9:43 am

bichon

I like to listen to books on CD, which I download to my Ipod. I think I've reached the limit of what I want with electronics

9:43 am

crosshair

i have a program in it that can set it up as a ham radio and monitor all the ems frequencies....

9:44 am

crosshair

but that is fine as well bichon,we all have our gadget threshold

9:44 am

bichon

My d.i.l. is considering giving the 4 y.o. her Ipod so she can play with it. is this where we are going?

9:44 am

crosshair

but this tablet is set to replace my phone,my ham radio and my desktop computer..so i shall only have a single gadget

9:45 am

crosshair

i think so bichon

9:46 am

I'm with you Bich. I have no need for high end electronics. I have simple requirements for my phone and my computers.

10:09 am

bichon

I'm content with my laptop, Mac, Smartphone and Ipod

10:16 am

MollyL

I'm also very satisfied with the Dell products I have purchased. For my home and my office. Not sure why they get ridiculed here on a regular basis.

10:30 am

periwinkle

crossy, that site you posted for mrp is not working for me

10:30 am

periwinkle

I am happy with dell as well molly

10:32 am

periwinkle

I will just get a money order or send a check, bbl

10:33 am

crosshair

crossy is back:)

10:35 am

crosshair

and for the average,use it 3 years and toss it consumer,dell is fine..but you ladies have no idea of frustration till you have tried to update gpu drivers on a dell product,they are proprietary,so you cannot just go to the nvidia site or other gpu sites for them

10:36 am

crosshair

all dell gpu driver MUST be upgraded via the dell site itelf:((

10:37 am

crosshair

and that is a royal p,i,t,a

10:39 am

10:51 am

mrpresident

I went for a walk (at 2.45am) and picked some wild flowers, which is totally illegal, off the side of the road across from me. Flannel Flowers... they are just beautiful.

10:52 am

crosshair

(((MRP)))

10:52 am

mrpresident

but we won't tell anyone about that!

10:53 am

crosshair

lol,i shall not say a word about it

10:53 am

ursh

We have pretty wild flowers here - but they wilt very quickly even in water - meant to be wild I think

10:53 am

mrpresident

hi crossy!!! sorry to have missed you the last day or so... been busy with government stuff trying to get some money.

10:53 am

crosshair

np at all:)

10:54 am

mrpresident

hi ursh :)) the flannel flowers last for about 2 weeks in water... and as they grow like weed, I try to only pick about 10 flowers out of 1000 that are on the plant

10:54 am

mrpresident

thank you crossy!

10:54 am

bichon

How are you doing mrp? I don't know if I know what a flannel flower is

10:55 am

bichon

It's an Aussie flower

10:58 am

ursh

10:58 am

bichon

10:58 am

bichon

10:59 am

bichon

Sounds lovely mrp. Not hardy though

10:59 am

bichon

Finally half way through

11:00 am

mrpresident

but, many of our wild flowers are protected species... which is right for all. I picked some to brighten up the home... but did not pull the roots.

11:01 am

bichon

I wonder if the seeds would grow in the US

11:06 am

mrpresident

i am sure they are growing there!!

11:07 am

mrpresident

the plant is like aloe vera... you take the root and plant it... grows like crazy!

11:07 am

mrpresident

i would take a pic and post it, but I might get arrested!

11:41 am

sadie52

oh get out wvteach .....i grew up in pittsburgh four years ago moved to a small town tween allentown and philly called east greenville...right smack next pennsburgh lol

11:42 am

wvteach

Know East Greenville well - his parents moved from Pennsburg in 1976 so its been a long time - he went to the Perkiomen School there and he still gets the alum magazine

11:43 am

sadie52

I am however a diehard pittsburgh sports teams fans

11:44 am

wvteach

11:44 am

sadie52

It is nice here still country hasnt been built up into malls and such yet

11:45 am

11:45 am

sadie52

I do miss Pittsburgh but not my ex whos still there

11:45 am

sadie52

no thank goodness it has not

11:46 am

sadie52

even Philly when i first when there i was suprized...I am used to the very tall buildings in Pittsburgh....Philly doesnt have realy tall ones like that

11:46 am

wvteach

i thought when we moved here (Morgantown) that we would go up to Pittsburg more often but we really don't. my son and dil do go up there for shopping, movies, concerts. They flew out of the Pittsburg airport this morning

11:46 am

sadie52

that and this side of the state you can see forever no mountains and hills where i am

11:47 am

sadie52

I guess that is why we don't go to Pittsburgh that much

11:50 am

crosshair

same here,i am 2 hours north of our closest large city(toronto) and even that is a tad too close for my liking

11:51 am

sadie52

I was actually bout 15 miles north and a bit east of Pittsburgh. But did get there often for one thing and another. Now I am in the country and spoiled. Its so peaceful for the most part out here.

11:55 am

crosshair

small town life is much beter

11:55 am

sadie52

yep

11:56 am

crosshair

Soodle

Oh, Molly. I am SO glad you are giving the Babble meet some thought. I do approve of the Carribean island!

3:03 pm

uusue2

yes, sign me up for the Caribbean too!!

3:03 pm

uusue2

(or the South Pacific, either would be fine :-)

3:03 pm

MollyL

I used the word "retreat" very loosely as these would be less spiritual and more hedonistic events.

3:04 pm

Soodle

Bring on the hedonism!!! We can draw a line down the island, one half for the spiritualists, the other half for the Way-Hey-ers!!

3:04 pm

cybernan

ha 6, please?

3:05 pm

MollyL

My only rule would be "Large Egos Need Not Apply". And I will be on the Way-Hey-ers side for sure.

3:50 pm

Welki, I had to scroll back down to get the Florida paper thing. Hanging ***** from the election.

3:52 pm

<--- Mind floating in the gutter. Thought Florida paper was in reference to, um, rolling papers.

3:53 pm

3:56 pm

off for lunch -- still laughing -- bye everyone :)

3:56 pm

periwinkle

I wanted to buy a money order today at my bank and the teller said it would be

3:56 pm

uusue2

hi, peri and bye, nan!

3:56 pm

periwinkle

$5.00!!!! I did not buy it.

3:56 pm

Soodle

(((Nan))) see you soon. Hi(((Peri)))

3:57 pm

uusue2

ah, I've been wondering what to do about money when we travel abroad over the holidays - I don't think anybody uses travelers checks any more. Probably I will just use credit cards.

3:58 pm

Soodle

Where are you heading to Sue?

3:59 pm

MollyL

Peri, money order fees are ridiculous. They soak people who have to pay with money orders because they have bank problems.

4:00 pm

uusue2

Israel, soodle, with a stopover in Paris (although we won't have time to leave the airport)

4:00 pm

periwinkle

I have plenty of money in the bank and she wanted me to change the type of acct I have and therefore get free money orders. I said no the money would not be staying there lone :)

4:00 pm

uusue2

smart move, peri!

4:00 pm

periwinkle

and I have only sent one money order in my life about 5 years ago and I think it cost a dollar but not sure

4:01 pm

periwinkle

staying there long even.

4:03 pm

Soodle

Sheesh... Banks, eh? Sue, that sounds like a marvelous trip. When do you go?

4:04 pm

periwinkle

and this is a bank that wants to charge me $5 a month to use my debit card!!!!

4:04 pm

periwinkle

thinking of changing banks but the rest will probably start doing the same thing

4:05 pm

MollyL

I highly recommend that anyone dealing with a bank that is going with 5 dollars a month to use a debit card shop around for a bank that doesn't. The smaller banks are not doing this.

4:05 pm

periwinkle

think I wlll do that

4:06 pm

uusue2

we leave on Dec. 25th (cheap tickets then!) and return on January 5th.

4:06 pm

MollyL

This is going to backfire on the banks. People are going to start writing checks again.

4:07 pm

periwinkle

I still write check and pay bills by mail but not many

4:07 pm

uusue2

One of my son's cousins is getting married on December 30th at Kibbutz Yahel, which is in the Negev north of Eilat (in case anyone knows the geography of Israel)

4:07 pm

periwinkle

I try to withdraw enough money for the week but usually need to use the debit card anyway and it makes no difference how often you use it it is still $5

4:08 pm

periwinkle

you you get to see any of the babblers in Israel

4:08 pm

uusue2

I do most of my bill-paying online, directly with the billing site. This works well for me - I don't have to worry about buying stamps or how long the mail will take

4:08 pm

MollyL

I've never known anyone who traveled on Christmas Day. I will be interested to hear what that is like.

4:08 pm

uusue2

I've talked to michnick, peri, she's the only one I really know in Israel. Who else is there?

4:08 pm

uusue2

I'm hoping it won't be too crowded, Molly!

4:09 pm

periwinkle

I have traveled by plane on a holiday, think it was 4th of July and it was fine. also traveled by train on Thanksgiving weekend and it was mobbed

4:09 pm

MollyL

I would think it would be just the opposite Sue.

4:09 pm

uusue2

I almost never use cash any more, and pretty much never use my debit card.

4:09 pm

periwinkle

think she is the only one, sue

4:10 pm

periwinkle

what do you use to pay for groceries, etc, sue?

4:10 pm

uusue2

well, we'll see, Molly - the tickets were a lot cheaper that day than for several days before and after

4:10 pm

MollyL

I'm just the opposite. I hardly ever use my credit cards.

4:10 pm

uusue2

but pretty much all the airplanes I've flown on lately have been completely full so it may not matter

4:11 pm

periwinkle

still 109 to find here

4:11 pm

uusue2

I use credit cards and then pay them off at the end of the month, peri - my main card gives me at least 1% back every month, and up to 5% in certain categories

4:11 pm

Soodle

I went to Isreal once... It was absolutely incredible. We were on holiday inCyprus, so it was a reasonably short hop over to the Holy Land. That was about 25 years ago, but it is still very vivid in my memory.

4:11 pm

uusue2

I also hardly ever carry cash.

4:12 pm

uusue2

I've been there before, soodle, and am very much looking forward to going back! Had an amazing trip both times.

4:12 pm

Soodle

<I hardly ever HAVE cash....

4:12 pm

periwinkle

that is an idea sue.

4:12 pm

uusue2

but you have to be careful about paying them off, otherwise the balance can build up (which mine is doing right now, due to the plane tickets...)

4:13 pm

uusue2

and that too, soodle :-)

4:13 pm

rastapopolous

We put dollars into our daughter's US account, so they have dollars when they come over here. Then they give us euros when we get to France. This way neither of us pays a commission. Just the exchange rate.

4:13 pm

Soodle

LOL

4:14 pm

rastapopolous

You have to know someone for that to work, though

4:14 pm

Soodle

Thats an excellent plan, Rasta.

4:18 pm

uusue2

hmmm, not sure that would work with my Israeli relatives as they don't travel here much; they are hosting us the whole time though (we had several offers to pick us up at the airport, and were told that we did not need to fly to Eilat - just to Tel Aviv and then we could get a ride with someone to the wedding)

4:18 pm

uusue2

anyway, I am very excited about the trip!!! I will be sure to take lots of pictures, too!

4:19 pm

rastapopolous

you can order foreign money from your bank in advance - if you're a good customer, there may be only a trivial charge. Otherwise the ATMs are are good as anything.

4:19 pm

Soodle

Its a beautiful country Sue, and I envy you your trip.

4:21 pm

rururocks

em 6 anyone

4:22 pm

Soodle

Em plus 2nd vowel plus fishing pole...

4:23 pm

rururocks

thank you...

4:23 pm

rururocks

is there bait on that pole?

4:23 pm

Soodle

Nah... Just a little worm......

4:25 pm

MollyL

As long as you aren't dancing on the pole Soodle. : P

4:26 pm

rururocks

she could get hooked on it

4:27 pm

MollyL

Chris Rock has a very funny comedy bit about how a father's main duty in life is to "keep his daughter off the pole" : )

4:27 pm

Soodle

It would take a bigger bait than that to hook ole Soodle...........

4:27 pm

rururocks

he can be funny

4:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

again, what am I walking into...

4:30 pm

Soodle

Kap.. you obviously have a 'double entendre radar' .......

4:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I just found a ro6, speaking of.

4:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

(you're all furiously searching)

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

hee hee hee.

4:34 pm

uusue2

hmmm...

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

compound. Dennis Ro****, pluran

4:34 pm

uusue2

ah, perhaps I have found it :-)

4:34 pm

uusue2

right.

4:34 pm

Soodle

......... not just searching... forensically examining..

4:36 pm

uusue2

I remember when he played with the Chicago Bulls - a local menswear store put a portrait of him on their wall facing the expressway (they usuallly had a portrait of some well-known Chicago personality there) - it stopped traffic. After a week they painted it over.

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Name that ballplayer who was with Madonna and Cameron Diaz (not simultaneously)

4:37 pm

MollyL

*Passing Soodle a tweezers*

4:37 pm

MollyL

Arod, and how do you know it was not simultaneously?

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

isn't it a tweezer?

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Isn't tweezers plural?

4:38 pm

uusue2

he was, to put it mildly, flamboyant (still on Mr. Ro6)

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Don't go there Molly.

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

a scissor. a tweezer.

4:38 pm

MollyL

Picky, picky, picky. I call them tweezers.

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it or them- if it's "them" then it's not "a"

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

consistency- the hobgoblin of little minds.

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is that the expression?

4:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

a tweezer. Tweezers. My brain is so tired I was just trying to remember whether you can use "a" with a plural.

4:40 pm

uusue2

so it is, Kap

4:41 pm

uusue2

probably you would say a pair of tweezers, just like a pair of scissors

4:41 pm

uusue2

then you can have your "a" and your plural too :-)

4:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

One tweeze? I could never figure out that thing with scissors. I guess you can't use one scizz- you can only use two of them. So is one side of a scissors a sciss? I told you my brain is tired.

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what other words are like this?

4:43 pm

uusue2

pants

4:43 pm

bichon

what is this ro 6 with scissors

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

duh. right. a pant.

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In some stores when they are being fancy, they say "this is a pant" as in "this is not a legging, it is a pant."

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

any more words like that?

4:45 pm

uusue2

I don't go to fancy stores. In WalMart they are pants.

4:45 pm

MollyL

I cut with scissors, pluck with tweezers and wear pants. I don't have a scissor, a tweezer or a pair of pant.

4:45 pm

MollyL

Do they have "slack" too? Yee Gods.

4:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They are always taking up the slack.

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They don't give me any slack.

4:47 pm

uusue2

Slackers.

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

English is such a fascinating language.

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Panters? The Gray Panters?

4:48 pm

uusue2

try to get an English major to explain why flammable and inflammable mean the same thing :-)

4:48 pm

MollyL

Hello Ma'am. Would you like to purchase a br today? If you would like a bra, you will have to buy the other cup as well. We also have pant and slack. Each leg is 89.99.

4:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Molly, lol.

4:50 pm

ChampFit

Love it! I remember playing dolls with a friend when I was little, and she'd say, "this is my CLO", as in singular of clothes.

4:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ha ha ha. When my daughter was little she said she needed her ears cleaned out because she had a wack in her ear.

4:51 pm

ChampFit

4:51 pm

MollyL

In the mens department, there are trouser. Trousers will cost you per leg as well.

4:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what if I only want one trouser?

4:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

many pairs of scissors- scissorses?

4:52 pm

MollyL

Then you are looking for the infamous trouser snake and I will get canned from this place if I get into that.

4:53 pm

Soodle

And mydaughter announced that she used the last letta. She asked me to buy more lettas. (lettuce).

4:53 pm

But then again, my youngest says "broughten". "I broughten this with me". She insisted it was a word! I beat her into submission. ;)

4:56 pm

Bear with me, Kap...I am a novice..

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

two favorite mispellings :Bare with me" and "I balled my eyes out."

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Which brings me back to eggcorns. A nominal egg. It cost a nominal egg. I once hogged the chog with this stuff, I will try to behave.

4:58 pm

It's a lot to absorb.

ok, as usual, Enable needs to get with the times - since when is ramen not a word? I had some for lunch yesterday!

5:05 pm

MollyL

Night Kap, blessings to your girl.

5:05 pm

ChampFit

Totally tried ramen...DENIED!

5:07 pm

MollyL

I cannot tolerate Ramen. I ate way too much of it when I was a broke college kid.

5:07 pm

ChampFit

My kids like it when "there's nothing here to eat!!!"

5:08 pm

uusue2

my son says there's nothing to eat when we still have ramen around...

5:08 pm

I have one who screwed up Easy Mac because he refused to read all THREE steps. GAHHHHHH!

Maybe they should call it Hard Mac for him :-)

Easy Mac cracks me up. It's like four bites of food.

i wanted heron as my nick here, but it was taken

5:48 pm

I saw it sitting there on the railing from a distance, and thought, that's no goose! (the lagoon was full of geese)

5:49 pm

uusue2

I walked as close to it as I thought I could get without spooking it and then took the picture

5:50 pm

welki

a gift to find one so close .. when i lived back east, i had a nesting pair in the back yard. had a trout stream bordering the property, so there was plenty of food ... they'd come back every year

5:50 pm

uusue2

they must have been wonderful to watch, welki!

yep, they were awesome. (but boyhowdy, what a racket peacocks make! had a few of them, too)

5:52 pm

welki

i consider the heron to be my spirit animal, too, molly. i think we might have shared that before :)

5:52 pm

welki

gorgeous photograph!

5:53 pm

MollyL

I was walking in the woods once, and heard this amazing sound. A big whoosh and whooping of wings. It was a heron taking off from the trees above me.

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

Evening all...having a good day>

5:53 pm

welki

hi, red! nice to 'see' you :)

5:53 pm

MollyL

Thanks Welki. That one let me get pretty close.

5:53 pm

MollyL

Hi Red.

5:53 pm

welki

startling when they take off when you don't know they're around

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

you too, I am trying to break back into babble.

5:55 pm

welki

5:56 pm

uusue2

hi, red! Haven't seen you in a while!

5:57 pm

uusue2

hi sue and wild.

6:01 pm

wildcat17

hi red ltns

6:01 pm

Eva

hey wild!

6:02 pm

wildcat17

hi eva!!!

6:02 pm

wildcat17

pats the wild kitty happily

6:02 pm

Eva

mrrrrp

6:02 pm

wildcat17

how is the furball?

6:03 pm

Eva

very funny. took his majesty to get his claws clipped yesterday It was way, way overdue and he was sticking to everything.

6:03 pm

wildcat17

velcro kitty

6:04 pm

Eva

in order to avoid the usual trauma and bloodshed I did a stealth entrapment. Turned the tv up high, tiptoed down to the basement to get the carrier. Hid the carried in the bathroom, came back upstairs, acted like I was sitting down to type and nabbed him. Popped him in the carrier before he knew what hit him.

6:04 pm

Eva

This morning he wouldn

6:05 pm

wildcat17

you know you'll only get away with that once

6:05 pm

Eva

wouldn't come out of the closet until I left-even for breakfast and brushing,but the great thing about having a brain the size of a walnut is that he is over it by now.

6:05 pm

Eva

LOL- you're absolutely right.

6:07 pm

Eva

have been trying to point out to him how much better he feels now, but do you think he listens?

6:07 pm

wildcat17

of course not

6:07 pm

Shirlockc

6:07 pm

Eva

isn't there a word like esme or esne that means a medieval slave?

6:08 pm

redturtlehead

what we do for our pets, the planning and schemeing...

6:08 pm

MollyL

Esne

6:08 pm

Eva

but it won't accept it

6:08 pm

wildcat17

and they don't even appreciate it

6:09 pm

MollyL

Add it to the long list of words Babble won't accept.

6:11 pm

Eva

shirlock that was wonderful! However, I will not take the advice to endure the love pain of scratching the demon spawn's belly no matter how much he tries to lure me into it

6:11 pm

Shirlockc

i've been suckered a few times

6:13 pm

Eva

It only took once with Merp.

6:14 pm

Shirlockc

mine doesn't do the belly thing all that often

6:15 pm

featherbee

hiya.

6:15 pm

Eva

Merp will put on his most angelic expression-and he has such a wonderful belly. Paws crossed on his chest-the whole 9 yards-until you touch him and then it's somewhat akin, from what I hear, to accidentally putting your arm into a bear trap

6:16 pm

Shirlockc

lol, eva

6:16 pm

featherbee

my cat's a belly-slut. she will allow anyone to do anything to her belly with nary a scratch. she will, however, lick your hand to death.

6:17 pm

Eva

god that sounds wonderful feather! a sane cat

6:17 pm

Eva

Merp's predecessor was like that.

6:17 pm

featherbee

well, she is on prozac, so "sane" is debatable. however, she was like that before the meds.

6:17 pm

Eva

lol. why the prozac?

6:18 pm

featherbee

behavior issues. pees on everything in sight. abandonment issues and territory issues mostly.

6:18 pm

featherbee

the prozac helps calm them enough to stop the peeing, i guess.

6:19 pm

Eva

aaah....I guess maybe not being able to play belly-belly isn't the worst thing that could happen.

6:19 pm

featherbee

lol, nope. the pee thing gets reeeeeally old after a while.

6:19 pm

Eva

Merp, over the past two years, has decided that litter boxes are only for peeing in. Door mats and small rugs are for pooping on. We are very grateful that it isn't the other way round

6:20 pm

featherbee

oh lovely! lol.

6:20 pm

featherbee

we have two boxes. the cats have decided that one is a pee box and the other is a poop box. it's weird.

6:20 pm

Shirlockc

mine will only do it in one corner of the box

6:21 pm

Eva

Since he eats only Vermont Raw-ground turkey, his poop is completely odorless and dry so easy to pick up.

6:21 pm

featherbee

that's good

6:22 pm

Eva

first it was only welcome mats-which made sense to me because they were scratchy and basically the shape and dimensions of a litter box, but now it is anyone's guess re logic. I sometimes worry that he is entering senile dementia

6:23 pm

featherbee

i love making up nonsense words to try. "marf" seems reasonable....

6:23 pm

Eva

only devoted cat people would spend all of this time discussing their companions bathroom behaviors.

6:23 pm

Eva

marf seems like a good word to me

6:23 pm

Shirlockc

absolutely, eva

6:23 pm

featherbee

lol, you're right. if kje were here, she'd yell at me.

6:25 pm

wildcat17

there's logic involved with cats?

6:26 pm

wildcat17

I miss my kitty

6:26 pm

Eva

absolutely right wild! What was I thinking. Merp is sitting here going >mmmmph?"

6:26 pm

Shirlockc

cat logic = whatever is most comfortable for the cat and most irritating to its people

6:26 pm

Eva

I know. Does a grandchild help?

6:27 pm

wildcat17

somewhat but he doesn't live here. I only see him on weekends

6:27 pm

Eva

cat logic-"Can I get away with it?"

6:27 pm

Eva

and he probably isn't furry is he?

6:28 pm

wildcat17

no

6:28 pm

wildcat17

he is soft and warm and a whole lot of fun to hold. and he doesn't scratch or bite when I have him

6:28 pm

Eva

I forget-why don't you have a cat now? I seem to remember a rather large menagerie, so why not a cat?

6:29 pm

Eva

and he has a frontal cortex-----

6:29 pm

wildcat17

I was trying to not get any more pets and let the numbers dwindle down. I am down to 2 dogs, both of which do not belong to me per se so when I can give them back to the children who do own them I will only have a turtle

6:30 pm

featherbee

lol @ frontal cortex

6:31 pm

Eva

I read recently that cats have no neocortex at all, while dogs do. Found that very insulting, but it was a good source. Does anyone know if that is true?

6:31 pm

wildcat17

one of those dogs is a cat-chasing and cat-eating terrier. not a good idea to bring another cat into the household

6:32 pm

featherbee

what is a neocortex?

6:32 pm

gapeach

Eva, just loved the way you got him into the carrier!!!LOL

6:32 pm

Eva

nope-doesn't sound like a good idea. Terries are exhausting.

6:33 pm

Eva

peach-I have to change strategies every time. Usually whatever I do ends up with me slithering under immovable furniture on my belly, lots of flying fur, blood and yowling.

6:33 pm

featherbee

not the cat's blood, of course

6:33 pm

Eva

no

6:33 pm

wildcat17

never the cat's blood

6:34 pm

negativeneil

Hi featherbee! :)

6:34 pm

Eva

yowling on both parts however

6:34 pm

featherbee

hello neil!

6:34 pm

negativeneil

Nice to see you here. :)

6:34 pm

gapeach

I have two rescue dogs. One is a hound, energy ball.

6:34 pm

wildcat17

of course

6:34 pm

negativeneil

When are we Letterbloxing again?

6:34 pm

Eva

does the hound bay?

6:34 pm

featherbee

yep. feeling so very blah right now, and currently ignoring the fact that it's a half hour past my youngest's bedtime. decided to come play here for a bit.

6:34 pm

negativeneil

Nice to hear, peach. My stepmom is involved in cat rescue... she has 2 rescues of her own and fosters cats for a rescue group too.

6:35 pm

featherbee

hmm, not sure. you around later?

6:35 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah, of course... you're 3 hours ahead of us.

6:35 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, I should be?

6:35 pm

negativeneil

I'll log into AIM so you can IM me?

6:36 pm

Eva

back later

6:36 pm

featherbee

if i'm feeling semi-conscious, i'll find you for a game. if i forget, you can come find me.

6:36 pm

featherbee

bye eva

6:36 pm

negativeneil

Haha. No, you need ME to be semi-conscious, don't you? Which I could very well be by then. :P

6:37 pm

featherbee

lol, yes, that would be to my advantage if you were half out of it!

6:37 pm

negativeneil

I'm logged into AOL/AIM now anyway.

6:37 pm

negativeneil

So you can IM me when you're ready.

6:37 pm

featherbee

ok

6:37 pm

gapeach

The other is a terrier mix....so laid back. The other morning at about 3:30 and the hound needed to go potty.....came back with a dingle berry...tried grabbing her as she bolted back into the house....she jumped onto the couch and I had picked up paper towels and then the fun began, remember that I'm in a wheel chair and pretty limited with energy but I caught her on the couch and she wanted so badly to bite me but I got strength from somewhere and got her cleand up....heart beating very fast....mine.

6:38 pm

featherbee

oh geeze peach, what a chase!

6:38 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, geez. Small dogs are usually pretty fast, too.

6:40 pm

Shirlockc

oooo, PB for featherbee

6:40 pm

featherbee

really? hmm

6:40 pm

featherbee

ah, darn, had it already.

6:41 pm

negativeneil

Whew! I avoided saying that word.

6:41 pm

negativeneil

Although you probably get goodies I don't, featherbee. The PB is usualyl well stocked I hear.

6:41 pm

negativeneil

"Usually" even.

6:42 pm

featherbee

6:47 pm

negativeneil

And then es6,24 -- similar, insert an extra consonant for the 4th letter.

6:47 pm

negativeneil

Oh shoot. Sorry! I'm baaad at knowing which letter starts each word yet. Still learning that. :(

9:33 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone! Jen how'd the surgery go?

9:33 pm

jmcnrick

surgery!?!?!

9:33 pm

JenMO16

no, not on my arm!!!

9:33 pm

JenMO16

no surgery on my arm

9:34 pm

JenMO16

ibd, are you talking about the hysterectomy?

9:34 pm

lbdawger

oh dear, am i confused? (more than likely)

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

oh okay *sits to wait paitiently for story to unfold*

9:34 pm

dan2bit

rambling baby2bit is good - drifting off to dreamland, I hope

9:35 pm

JenMO16

i have cubital tunnel syndrome, no surgery on my arm, need to protect my arm at night so i don't sleep on it

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

rambling uses a lot of energy -- that is the plus side

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

how do you do that jen?

9:36 pm

JenMO16

would you believe putting a rolled up washcloth in the crook of my elbow and then wrapping it with an ACE bandage

9:36 pm

lbdawger

i bet baby2bit is getting to be quite the handful! you could always set up the puppy pen for her to play in! lol

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

sounds uncomfortable jen

9:37 pm

JenMO16

last night i tried a wrist pad used for the computer in the crook of my arm and i wrapped it to tight

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the i please

9:37 pm

lbdawger

i think that would keep me awake, jen. doesn't sound comfortable at all.

9:37 pm

JenMO16

nah, i slept through the night okay

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

i thought maybe a cardboard tunnel would work

9:37 pm

lbdawger

ic5/6 and ih5/6

9:38 pm

JenMO16

getting to sleep was the problem

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

so you wrap your arm bent?

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

ty lbd

9:38 pm

JenMO16

no straight

9:39 pm

JenMO16

fill in the fold of my arm

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

so how does that keep you from lying on the arm?

9:39 pm

JenMO16

i have a gel wrist pad

9:40 pm

JenMO16

i can lay on the arm, just can't bend the elbow

9:40 pm

JenMO16

understand?

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

oh that makes sense then

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

wait! hysterectomy?

9:41 pm

JenMO16

i am trying to prevent bending my arm and sleeping on it,

9:41 pm

lbdawger

maybe if you made a sleeve out of a pillow and slipped your arm in that it would be more comfortable.

9:41 pm

JenMO16

i had a hysterectomy in July

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

<==slow on the uptake tonight

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

sounds like a rough year jen

9:42 pm

JenMO16

ibd, i don't get it

9:45 pm

jmcnrick

babble for dummies clue for the ic please

9:45 pm

lbdawger

well, the pillow would be stiff enough to keep you from bending it, and yet it would remind you not to sleep on it or bend it.

9:45 pm

dan2bit

ic5 is an anagram of a church singing group

9:46 pm

lbdawger

10:03 pm

JenMO16

10:03 pm

flosey

was it from the hospital? or home?

10:03 pm

10:04 pm

JenMO16

yes molly, everyone does, especially the mother

10:04 pm

lbdawger

MollyL

The fact that the parents cell phones are supposedly "stolen" bugs me.

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

stolen with the baby?

10:07 pm

JenMO16

possible jm

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

is that a clue jen??

10:08 pm

MollyL

The story is, the father came home, all the lights were on, the baby was gone and the cell phones were stolen. The baby was last seen in shorts and a top, although she was supposedly put to bed before 10 PM.

10:08 pm

JenMO16

i can't believe the mother didn't hear anything like noise during the night

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

but the mother was there?

10:09 pm

JenMO16

yes jm, the mother was asleep along with 2 young boys

10:09 pm

MollyL

Yes, the mother was there. Something is very not right with this story.

10:09 pm

JenMO16

the front door unlocked

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

mother put the baby to bed in shorts and a top?

10:09 pm

JenMO16

the window in the baby's room opened

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

the boys were other children?

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

of the parents i mean

10:10 pm

JenMO16

you can go to www.kansascity.com or kmbc.com to get the story jm

10:10 pm

JenMO16

yes jm

10:11 pm

JenMO16

or you can go to CNN site

10:11 pm

JenMO16

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

MollyL

I live in Maryland Jen.

10:17 pm

JenMO16

i see

10:18 pm

MollyL

Why?

10:19 pm

JenMO16

i just wanted to know how far the news got, i have a friend in TX who had not heard about the kidnapping

10:20 pm

MollyL

It's all over the national news. Maybe your friend doesn't follow stories on CNN or the other internet news sites.

10:20 pm

JenMO16

yeah, i know

10:21 pm

JenMO16

i just wonder how long it is going to stay in the news

10:21 pm

MollyL

We have a missing 11 year old in my area with similar bad circumstances. The mother was found dead and no one has seen the boy in two weeks.

10:21 pm

JenMO16

you heard a private investigator is involed now and he offered $100,000 reward for information or the baby

10:22 pm

MollyL

No, I didn't read about that. Interesting.

10:22 pm

JenMO16

and he has a psychiatrist on him team now?

10:23 pm

JenMO16

his team

10:24 pm

JenMO16

i found an 8 letter word!

10:24 pm

MollyL

Hopefully, the truth will all come out eventually. It's always sad when it doesn't, as in the Jonbenet Ramsey case.

10:24 pm

JenMO16

agree, molly

10:26 pm

JenMO16

we still have a missing teen since 2008 i believe, no sign of her

10:26 pm

JenMO16

and not a runaway

10:27 pm

JenMO16

have you found the 8 letter tree molly?

10:28 pm

MollyL
