is that et8 a real word? weird form
12:32 am
dart001
3 th4 I found now have same ending
12:33 am
cybernan
found the ir
12:33 am
VolleymomDee
I've never seen it before hi dc! nbs wtg nan
12:33 am
dcseain
evening, dart, nan, dee griffums, disgran, et al
12:34 am
Griffums
me 8 related to me 7, the tearing of which could put you in for a knee surgery
12:34 am
dart001
wonder if th4 is close to what ruru has
12:35 am
dcseain
i'm tired, but waiting on the dryer to finish up.
12:36 am
jan
Got the me 7 but still trying for the me 8
12:36 am
cybernan
don't know any medical terms
12:37 am
dizgrannie
8s are et, ir, me, mi
12:38 am
VolleymomDee
ty diz
12:38 am
Griffums
jan, it's the adj form
12:38 am
dart001
th4 mi8 is strange too
12:38 am
jan
The me 7 is a latin plural for the medical term, also a lens, also the surface of water in a tube
12:38 am
meliae
go the other way Jan for the 8 on the me 7
12:39 am
jan
Ooh, got it! Thanks meliae and griffums!
12:39 am
meliae
go the first vowel versus the 3rd vowel
12:39 am
VolleymomDee
definitely mi 8 new one for me
12:40 am
jan
So far all the 8's are unusual. Bet the mi 8 is too
12:40 am
Griffums
if sa 7/32 is accepted, why the devil isn't the +al for the sa 9? humph.
12:40 am
meliae
not seeing the mi at all
12:40 am
cybernan
have no idea on those m's
12:40 am
jan
Well, if it is new for Dee, it'll definitely be new for me!
12:40 am
mrpresident
hi all... did clues go up ok??
12:41 am
meliae
have not checked for them Mrp, perhaps someone else has
12:41 am
VolleymomDee
me's have to do with tears... around the knee
12:41 am
cybernan
haven't listed yet mrp
12:41 am
VolleymomDee
looks good to me mrp ty!
12:41 am
gortmold
yes thank u mrp, may God dump great dollops of blessings on yr noble shoulders
12:41 am
jan
Not sure, mrp, I've been too busy tearing my hair out on this grid to check!
12:42 am
cybernan
no idea dee -- I understand it is a medical term, which leaves me out
12:42 am
Jellen
Looks good, mrp!
12:43 am
meliae
nan it kind of rymes with what kind of genre "My fair Lady" is
12:43 am
cybernan
however, I did find the 2 that can be considered english
12:44 am
jan
It's also the curved surface area of water in a tube or vessel
12:44 am
dcseain
indeed so, jan, that's the meaning th4 occurred to me
12:44 am
jan
Though the plural is one I had never considered
12:45 am
cybernan
as you have probably gathered, I was never a science major either!
12:45 am
meliae
Did you see my clue Nan?
12:46 am
cybernan
yes -- but it didn't help even though I know what the genre is
12:46 am
meliae
not women + last half of that genre
12:47 am
Griffums
nan, it's actually pretty commonly heard in the media bc it's such a frequent injury in sports at every level
12:47 am
meliae
or rather 3/4s lol
12:47 am
jan
The singular version (not in the grid) rhymes with the round flat object thrown in track and field. Plural in a Latin fashion for the me 7, make it adjectival for the 8
12:47 am
cybernan
don't watch sports either
12:47 am
cybernan
unless it is golf or curling
12:48 am
jan
Not the javelin or the hammer but the other one
12:48 am
Griffums
I knew you were going to say that. :)
12:49 am
meliae
not women + what ** your problem + san diego is in ***ifornia
12:49 am
cybernan
ok -- the field event gave me an me 7
12:50 am
jan
Now make it an adjective and you're there
12:50 am
meliae
you're welcome
12:50 am
cybernan
and the mi is similar?
12:51 am
jan
Dunno, I don't have the mi yet
12:51 am
jan
But there is an me 8 that is based on the me7
12:51 am
meliae
still looking for the mi as well
12:51 am
dizgrannie
no Nan, mi*+at5
12:51 am
meliae
I clued her the me 8

12:55 am

Another medical joint term...
12:56 am
dart001
another med. condition too
12:56 am
jan
The en 7 is another medical one
12:56 am
ursh
i have the me mi and ir 8 - what was the other ?
12:56 am
cybernan
I think all these med. terms should be booted out of enable -- they are not english!!!
12:57 am
jan
And of course the an/6 as another medical condition
1:00 am
jan
I think te/5/10 is another medical word for a body part, and ma/5 is a psych condition. We're getting a med school education tonight
1:00 am

1:47 am

1:49 am
VolleymomDee
what do you like and what feels strange?
1:49 am
jillibus
Congrats dee -- sorry I missed our usual greeting. I'm too tired to tackle this one at this point, and if you found it tough I may skip it -- too much to do.
1:50 am
dart001
house is newer....kitchen bigger with wood floors....downstairs finished....better for entertaining/guests...wet bar..more storage...3 car garage
1:50 am
VolleymomDee
hi jili sorry you are tired
1:50 am
VolleymomDee
excellent! How do you like the wood floors?
1:51 am
jillibus
I spent over an hour on the phone to HP about the printer, and now it doesn't work at all! So there will be another long phone call, I guess.
1:51 am
dart001
smaller metro area so not as much to do as before (a lot less)....still haven't really met a lot of the neighbors yet
1:52 am
dart001
and not working now...spending a LOT more time in the house lol
1:52 am
dart001
I like the floors
1:52 am
jillibus
hi dart -- there's always Babble to keep you amused, lol!
1:52 am
VolleymomDee
that might feel lonesome...
1:52 am
VolleymomDee
sorry about your HP problem jili..
1:53 am
jillibus
dee -- did you get an offer on the house?
1:53 am
dart001
that is why I don't always list....gives me something to do..as long as we don't get cutoff like the other night
1:53 am
VolleymomDee
so are you going crazy with so much free time
1:53 am
VolleymomDee
yeah ... didn't get to finish the other nite grrr
1:54 am

been golfing about 3 times a week..joined a club for that
1:54 am

Oh, that will get you meeting people, dart
1:55 am
dart001
saw your post on FB...I emailed DRG and it was fixed in about 5 mins...but didn't know it was out until about 15 mins before flip
1:55 am
VolleymomDee
way to go dart... I couldn't find his email address or I would have emailed a lot earlier
1:55 am
jillibus
I missed that Babble breakdown
1:55 am
dart001
the people at the club have been pretty friendly so far....so we should make some friends
1:55 am
VolleymomDee
actually, I just remembered ... one of our daughter's bridesmaids lives in Wichita
1:56 am
VolleymomDee
good to hear that they are open to new friends... that is always scary... no matter what age we are
1:56 am
jillibus
dee -- did you get an offer on your house?
1:56 am
dart001
I had that happen before..so I put it in my list for that reason...last time it happened, couldn't get his email
1:57 am
VolleymomDee
not yet jili... still a couple interested people... we are considering making an offer on a property we really like even though we don't have one on ours yet...
1:58 am
VolleymomDee
where did you find his email?
1:58 am
dart001
the people who live here love it and are usually lifers....but I think most grew up here or in smaller towns in the state and they like the relatively bigger city for them
1:58 am
VolleymomDee
interest rates are almost too good to pass up and there is one house with a floor plan that seems perfect for us
1:58 am
VolleymomDee
makes sense
1:59 am
dart001
on the site here somewhere...let me look it up
1:59 am
jillibus
oh, best of luck in both ways, dee!
1:59 am

ty jili... it has been such a long aggravating process
2:00 am

I have DrG's email address too -- can't remember where I got it.

just lurking a bit here - is there something wrong with babble? just wondering why ppl are emailing Dr G? i know it was down the other morning, but hasn't it been fine since?
2:07 am

no there's nothing wrong with babble, or no it hasn't been fine? ;)
2:07 am
VolleymomDee
nothing wrong...we were talking about the other day
2:08 am
saintfranny
oh, ok good. oh, why - what happened then, if you don't mind me asking?
2:08 am
dart001
volley...went to our former counties website the other day and clicked on the foreclosures....they had them by month for the past year...it was kinda scary how many there were
2:09 am
VolleymomDee
here, too, dart... we have been wondering if we should rent ours
2:10 am
dart001
saint...if you don't have his email and the site goes down...you can't come here to get it...so just passing it around for the next time it happens
2:10 am
saintfranny
Oh - good point dart! noted.
2:11 am
saintfranny
Yeah, it is worrying when it's not working, since it's so rare.. like - what happened????? Someone HELP - SOS! lol
2:11 am
VolleymomDee
we have neighborhood pockets that seem to be selling, but some of the others have literally been on the market for years...
2:11 am

Well, I'm calling it a day -- goodnight all and good luck...*poof
2:11 am

oh wow - i'm from Indiana! Anderson.. near Indy
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
our orthopaedic industry has been hit hard... 1st time in almost 30 years for a slump here
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
we live in Warsaw, and our daughter lives in Indy
2:14 am
saintfranny
that's ironic, b/c i've just gone to an ortho. for the first time recently, bad bad knees :(
2:15 am
VolleymomDee
awww, you and ru... poor things
2:15 am
dart001
not sure when the market will come back volley...but with all the foreclosures out there...and the banks are sitting on more that aren't even on the market now...I think it will be quite a while. The banks aren't loaning unless you have stellar credit......not to be a glass half-empty type
2:15 am
saintfranny
perhaps the slump is from people (clearly not me!) taking better care of themselves?
2:15 am
VolleymomDee
Warsaw is orthopaedic capital of the world
2:15 am
saintfranny
no kidding? interesting
2:16 am
VolleymomDee
true...
2:16 am
dart001
didn't know that volley
2:16 am
VolleymomDee
DePuy started here in the 1800's; then Zimmer branched from that... now have Medtronic and tons of niche companies...
2:16 am
VolleymomDee
BioMet is also here
2:16 am
dart001
I know medtronic was big back home
2:17 am
VolleymomDee
so we have been very protected until just recently when Zimmer decided to hit their bottom line this year by laying off mid level execs
2:18 am
VolleymomDee
it's what happens when the CEO is not a marketing / sales major

Scouser, remember my old friends Gary and Louise? You had to cut a channel through the heaps to get to their sofa and kitchen. One day they started to clear up They got through the mouldy plate layer, the old newspaper layer, the lost sock layer and finally hit the beetle and bug layer!
4:17 am

Trick of the light, Neil. Looks as though I've been at him with the purple mascara, doesn't it?

Yes Neil, scouser and I went to school together in Liverpool.
4:18 am
negativeneil
Wow, scouser? Imagine how great you'd feel if you did get it all cleaned up? Make a plan... you can only do it a little at a time, right? But if you keep at it and do a set amount daily, it will get done. Start by collecting a bunch of boxes and putting into those everything you can get rid of... organize the stuff according to what it is. Throw out everything that can go, for a start... that frees up room to move around what you need to organize.
4:18 am

Oh did you? Cool. :)

Oh thanks, Auntie Hydra. It was taken last April in Thailand.
4:19 am

It's not that bad, Neil. I'm exaggerating. The main heap is only a foot high.
4:19 am
negativeneil
Maybe you need to grab some more boxes for the job, scouser?
4:20 am
negativeneil
Geez. But if you can't see the floor, you can't clean the floor... or is that the method to the madness? ;)
4:20 am
negativeneil
brb... making a tea.
4:20 am
scouser
Auntie Hydra eh? well I suppose since we have been friends for 63 years you finally got a title.
4:20 am
hydra
All my filing cabinets are in storage. That's the main problem. I can see the floor. I just can't see the surface of the futon!
4:21 am
hydra
Only found 32 words. Better quit chatting and get Babbling!
4:22 am
scouser
Neil: I can see 15% of the floor and it is only a week since I cleaned it. I have to do so when grandchild is coming, as she has penchant for mangled staples, paperclips, pens and pencils.
4:22 am
hydra
It's just for Neil, scouser. I'm his honorary auntie. And it's 62!
4:23 am
scouser
Ha - OK maths graduate that I am I still cannot do some simple subtractions.
4:25 am
hydra
Up to 445 words now. Hope we're not frightening everyone else off the chog. We three seem to have taken it over! Neil, you and scouser would have lots to talk about.
4:25 am
hydra
I meand 45. Slip of the finger.
4:26 am
scouser
Well it is very good to be able to chat for a short while. My trouble is I can type very fast therefore tend to hog the chog.
4:26 am
hydra
'Hog the chog' - I love that! You are a chog-hogger. A chog-a-holic!
4:27 am
hydra
I'll have to go soon as I am too cold. 48 degrees F in this room and I'm not allowed to have the heating on.
4:28 am
scouser
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Hydra!
4:28 am
scouser
You would be better up here. That would give me reason to tidy even more.
4:29 am
hydra
Waiting for a rush editing job to come in. 100,000 word book to be edited in a week - copy and creative editing.
4:29 am
hydra
Otherwise I would be up like a shot.
4:30 am
hydra
Neil, are you still here?
4:31 am
scouser
I go to the kitchen now. I may be some time.
4:31 am
hydra
Bye, scouser. I'm off downstairs where it might be a wee bit warmer. Not much.

You need some far eastern language
4:36 am
scouser
actually I just looked at your profile and you might get the h6/33 that defeated me
4:36 am
scouser
I have to go into the kitchen. Byee all
4:37 am
joshuavorbis
not sure what about my profile would lead you to that assumption

h6,33 -- any of the terra-cotta models of people, animals, and houses from the Yayoi period of Japanese culture. Or... h + zoos house ***mals + you need to clean up so you can **sh your floors!

Oh, my Auntie Hydra left? :( *sulks*

Worthless factoid: There was a sub-B grade "horror" movie made in the late 60's or early 70's entitled: "Night of the Lepus". Rampaging, bloodthirsty rabbits. Hilarious.
12:23 pm
rubyfoo
that's a very funny idea, judi

it will probably show up on Fr TV; they seem to buy job lots of old movies

I've heard of it but not seen it. I probably would have laughed myself silly!
12:25 pm

It was truly horrible, ruby. Adorable little bunnies - faces smeared with fake blood. How it ever got made I'll never know. DeForest Kelly (Dr. Mcoy) from Star Trek was one of the "stars".
12:26 pm

Of course I have a certificate from the hospital that has my name, my mother's fingerprint, and my footprint, and my parents' full names, and another one from the city of New Brunswick that has an official seal on it, but apparently all those prove is that I am a potential terrorist that planned this all along :-P

4:50 pm
rubyfoo
that sounds like a plan...how does she like wstinky dogs
4:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
She's 17 years old and has always been an outdoor cat. She sits in front of the house and meows at people and follows them. She's really skinny too. People who have lived here for a while know her act, and always stop and talk with her. But someone new just posted a sign on the lampost in front of our house describing all the horrid things that happen to outdoor cats.
4:51 pm
uusue2
I would have liked to take him, Molly, but it would have been another $1400 that I don't have, and his dietary requirements make it very difficult for him to travel - he'd probably be ok once we got there but I don't know what he'd do in transit
4:51 pm
uusue2
she hates dogs, ruby, along with everything else (including our other cat)
4:51 pm
MollyL
What will he do for Christmas Sue?
4:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne
We posted another sign saying basically "I am the cat who lives here and i am doing very well, am not starving, and refuse to stay indoors.
4:52 pm
rubyfoo
my son was gluten-free for a couple of years and then went to Italy and is eating like a normal (if chubby) person again
4:52 pm
uusue2
well, kap, it is true that on the average outdoor cats have a shorter lifespan than indoor cats, but yours has obviously already beaten those odds!
4:52 pm
uusue2
he'll be driving us to the airport, molly :-)
4:53 pm
rubyfoo
she sounds very smart (and very manipulative) but at least she doesn't bark sharply at you and make you get up!
4:53 pm
uusue2
also we are all atheists anyway so Christmas is pretty much like any other day to us
4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
We get phonecalls all the time from people who say they found our cat. I say she wasn't lost. Then this weekend someone actually removed her collar and ID tags and put a different collar on her. So I stapled a note to the collar saying "Please return my collar and tags"
4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
so they did.
4:53 pm
uusue2
no, the dog does that, molly
4:54 pm
uusue2
Kap, I once heard about a cat that was owned by two families, neither of which knew about the other - it just went back and forth, and they both fed it :-)
4:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
My cat is extremely manipulative and sweet looking and I think has a scam going with everyone on the next block- getting free meals
4:54 pm
rubyfoo
that is too funny

I heard the same story just this weekend, sue. Either it's the same family and cat, or this is a common occurance.

5:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Robert Delaunay (12 April 1885, Paris – 25 October 1941) was a French artist who used Orphism, (which is similar to abstract art) abstraction and cubism in his work. His later works were more abstract, reminiscent of Paul Klee. His key influence related to bold use of colour, and a clear love of experimentation of both depth and tone.
5:07 pm

welki
the en8 sounds like a nonsense word (to me, anyway)
9:08 pm
MollyL
One of the guys involved in the webinar is a friend of mine who used to do computer forensics for the police. He has hair raising stories about internet deceit.
9:08 pm
jmcnrick
ty molls i take it you have finished?
9:09 pm
jmcnrick
i believe you molly--people can be amazingly dense
9:09 pm
MollyL
No, I'm about 3/4 of the way through and probably won't finish.
9:10 pm
welki
dense, naive, vulnerable, gullible ...
9:10 pm
jmcnrick
i was joking with a Nigerian classmate on thursday because he asked me to use my credit card to put time on his cell phone
9:10 pm
jmcnrick
wd molly
9:10 pm
welki
i can help for a little while if you need some clues
9:10 pm
MollyL
Yes Welki, especially gullible. Believing everything they read on message boards and in chat rooms as the God's honest truth.
9:10 pm
jmcnrick
i raise my boy by pointing out ads saying "as low as" and "up to"
9:12 pm
stidmama
yep. skeptical, analytical, and do the math yourself... don't trust other people to dumb it down for you!

stidmama

(and choclits)
*poof*
9:13 pm
welki

9:13 pm
jmcnrick
silly welki
9:14 pm
welki
g'night, stid
9:14 pm
jmcnrick
bye stiddie
9:14 pm
MollyL
It's not so bad to be like you Welki. I've been involved with internet message boards for over ten years and I have seen every kind of deceptive, sociopathic behavior there is.
9:14 pm
welki
i give you way more than the benefit of doubt. i'd even let you use my fishing rods. some folks, you can just tell they're special
9:15 pm
jmcnrick
i used to be cynical but now i am an odd mix of believing that most people have good intentions and bad social skills--but i always look a gift horse in the mouth
9:15 pm
welki
i met my husband on the internet .. a long time ago, when the net was still taking baby steps
9:15 pm
MollyL
Wow JMC, that is a heap big compliment.
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
i am touched you would let me use your fishing rods. . .of course since i refuse to come to canada it is a safe offer ;-
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
*does a little Mary Sunshine dance*
9:16 pm
welki
jm and i clicked when we first joined this site ... same warped sense of humor. okay, cancel the fishing rods .. i'd give you my kids' phone numbers if you needed a place to stay in ny/nj ... how's that? better? LOL
9:17 pm
welki
aw, she's laughing at me. and i (for a change) was being sincere!
9:18 pm
jmcnrick
haha it is a friendly happy loving laugh!
9:18 pm
MollyL
Sad fact is, it's easy to lie on the internet. Even sadder is all the people who get taken in by those lies.
9:18 pm
welki
ahhh. gotcha. couldn't hear it from here
9:18 pm
jmcnrick
Nigerian letters were around long before the internet and so were con-artists
9:18 pm
welki
yep, we all lie. on the internet or not, we do.
9:19 pm
jmcnrick
*looks in bag for hearing aid for welki*
9:19 pm
welki
make it a bell-tone, please
9:19 pm
jmcnrick
i can tell you hair raising stories about conartists and the elderly i represented with no internet involved
9:19 pm
MollyL
Careful Welki. The first line of defense for a chronic liar is "Well, everybody lies". : P
9:20 pm
jmcnrick
hi jen we is talking about the lying liars
9:20 pm
JenMO16

9:20 pm
jmcnrick

MollyL
Just kidding Welki. : )
9:21 pm
jmcnrick
ah that is a rating for politifact where my sister works now
9:22 pm
welki

9:22 pm
jmcnrick
welki is a mighty sensitive girl tonight
9:22 pm
MollyL
Unfortunately, I have been the victim of some horrendous lies, so I don't care for people who are deceptive.
9:22 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm i am not particularly good at those lies welki
9:22 pm
welki
nah, just a realist
9:22 pm
jmcnrick

herinfernallady
We looked at a house that had the original kitchen oven it was so tiny'
10:03 pm
herinfernallady
And it was avocado green
10:05 pm
Nef
if it was avocado green, that would have been 1960'. The ovens here weren't really tiny back then, however
10:07 pm
herinfernallady
It was a 1940;s house so probably at least 50's
10:08 pm
herinfernallady
I don't even think i could have got my smallest tray in it
10:09 pm
Nef
an oven like that makes you wonder why they even bothered with it!
