jillibus
I'm pooped now -- Happy Hour at my place this Friday. The hour has stretched to about three, and instead of a few nuts and bolts with a couple of drinks has eveolved into a sort of finger-food dinner -- tonight involved a shrimp circle with dip, warm camembert cheese with hot pepper jelly, peppery paté, assorted crackers and baguette slices, bits & bites...
1:19 am
dart001
sounds good jilli
1:20 am
jillibus
and good company, mellowed with booze and wine...

Wunderbar, dart!
1:23 am
rururocks
nice jilli sounds fun
1:25 am

It is fun, ruru -- we circulate hosting each Friday, just neighbours and occasionally visiting friends or family, all very compatible, luckily.
1:30 am
dart001
nj jilli...gonna head off to bed...nite all

Dachef
anyone know the spell for warding off the little red boxes of death? Say it now.
2:49 am
mrpresident
dach... I believe it is 'For F**k's Sake!!! Just let me enter my bloody words right now!.... oh, and please.'
2:53 am
Dachef
nope, didn't work. I think I just woke up next door though.
2:54 am
mrpresident
as long as you had a key mate!
2:55 am
Dachef
no, I mean I awoke them by shouting loudly at the appearance of the little red boxes of death.
2:55 am
mrpresident
ah!!! hahahaha!! :))
2:56 am
mrpresident
well, it has been happening often.... especially around the 2am mark... doesn't seem to remove itself for a couple of minutes
2:58 am
mrpresident
I am not sure if it is a 'babble burp', or 'babble hiccup'... but it is bloody annoying and 'add word' needs a good talking to and possibly some counselling and interegation of some sort... without bail.
2:58 am
Dachef
Someone kick Dr Gods arse for him.
2:59 am
mrpresident
i have several torture techniques that leave no marks! except mental ones of course :))
3:00 am
mrpresident
dach, i have to laugh, cause if anything happened to Dr God, we would be prime suspects! LOL
3:02 am
mrpresident
Jamie is a good bloke... I think that the 2am hiccup/burp is part of the program that he just can't seem to determine. If you are using babble expert, the words will be added there, then you can 'send to babble' after the redboxes of death are over
3:02 am
Dachef
whatever happened to the 'new and improved' babble that we were promised months ago?
3:05 am
mrpresident
life got in the way?? babble is complicated and needs more testing for new additions?? Dr. G is working hard to get rid of bugs in the new and improved version?? He has a new girlfriend/boyfriend?? Someone broke into his house and stole his collection of babyborn dolls?? I am only guessing
3:06 am
mrpresident
personally, i haven't done a grid for about 2 weeks!! But got the clues up as was humanly possible
3:07 am
mrpresident
and you note there, i DID NOT say 'humanely' possible
3:07 am
Andree
hi everyone
3:07 am
mrpresident
ANDREE!!!!! *****HUGS****!
3:07 am
Dachef
fair enough. i've got a hangover and therefore grumpy and its far easier to take it out on those that aren't visible than the dog (a fact that the dog is oblivious of but incredibly grateful for nonetheless). Anyways, is there a list banging about today cos my brain's fried (or at least a bit sauteed).
3:08 am
mrpresident
hmmmm. a list. that would be lickety's list... have you asked for the exe program??
3:09 am
Dachef
yup, using it (its fab, thankyou), but no list on there today.
3:09 am
mrpresident
for real!!
3:09 am
Dachef
is this just another symptom of my ailing computer and mind?
3:09 am
mrpresident
ok, will go look at fixing that up.
3:11 am
mrpresident
Clues are up
3:12 am
mrpresident
ok, is clues up yet??? and are they ok??? please??
3:13 am

3:14 am
mrpresident
dach, close the program and reopen, bloody bugs all round lately.
3:14 am
bookwomen
Now it is bedtime. good night
3:14 am
Dachef
okay, I think its just me then. Firewall must be blocking it for some reason. Probably afraid it'll warp my fragile little mind. Time for some computer maintenance methinks. Probably with a hammer.
3:15 am
mrpresident
nite book :)
3:16 am
mrpresident
ah dach, did that a few months ago... and asus replaced everything for me! :) cause I threatened to become a vicious killer of computers
3:17 am
mrpresident
had to clean out the cache... stupid cache should clean itself out really... like I am responsible for EVERYTHING??
3:18 am
Dachef
can't get the clues up on my laptop either, and thats on a completely different wireless network. Bit odd. Any other Uk users online experiencing same issues, or has fate decided that today is a good day to pee on me?
3:19 am

4:07 am

4:07 am
rubyfoo
hm, putting monkeys to work for both of those
4:08 am
Dianne
Then I must have seen it here before but I certainly have never used that word.
4:09 am
rubyfoo
bye for now, see you after lunch
4:09 am
rubyfoo
83 words! amazing for me
4:09 am

4:11 am

4:18 am
sprite
don't know if it helps, Dianne, but to me it always sounds like the sound someone might make when being punched in the gut.
4:18 am
Dianne
Why did I say that - I just looked and I have those 2 already. I've got 9 ha and 6 ho.
4:19 am
sprite

4:19 am

So one more of each (why couldn't be one more + s?).

10:58 am
Christini
the 8 is a compound word, if ever I were to use, it would consider 2 words
10:58 am
Christini
Trying again. If I were ever to use it, I would consider it two words.

hi ruby. I was just going to say I love being a grandmother; so much so that I "adopted" a neighbor and her 2 kids (she's from Iran and both sets of parents have passed on; went through post partum depression when I told her I was adopting her). They have since moved to a larger house about 1/2 hour away; but I'm still Gramma to them! :-) (My own grandson is just 2 1/2 and there won't be another child I was informed
12:11 pm
sheila48
I was first a Grandma at 52 which, I guess, these days is quite young
12:12 pm

I could have been a realy young grandma (my son was born when I was 20) but he and his wife don't want children (her decision)

negativeneil
Oh, ok.
3:02 pm
cosdem
the internet company gave the techs the wrong address and they shut off our internet instead of our neighbors and they wouldnt come out to take off the filter til today
3:02 pm
cosdem
so 2 days of stealing another neighbors wifi with only one bar... was annoying
3:02 pm
negativeneil
Oh man.
3:02 pm
negativeneil
I bet.
3:02 pm
cosdem
and they're only giving us two days credit for it
3:02 pm
dcseain

3:03 pm
dcseain
well, herbs also added to mirepoix
3:03 pm
negativeneil
By the way, do you ever see any of my posts I make to "Extended Circles" on G+? Curious, because something Seain shared to his never showed up to some of us?
3:03 pm
negativeneil
Speaking of the devil... hi again, Seain.
3:03 pm
cosdem
i havent been on G+ in months
3:04 pm
cosdem

3:05 pm
dcseain
neil, we are not currently seeing each others' posts for some reason
3:05 pm
dcseain

3:06 pm

3:17 pm
negativeneil
Yeah, my dad keeps telling me that... not that he's losing any of his, but some of the men in the family have. More on Mom's side.
3:17 pm
negativeneil
And those who have were losing it at my age.
3:17 pm
rururocks
mine is thinning somewhat.. it's kind of a drag..
3:18 pm
dcseain
hair tends toward the mother's side
3:19 pm
negativeneil
Well I should get off here again and be a better host. :P Just had to finally get around to doing the grid. Break over... back to cleaning the car I'm selling.
3:19 pm
dcseain
my hair is like my moms, though lighter in colo, and just like her 1st younger brother's, if much darker than his :)
3:19 pm
negativeneil
Fun, fun. I just want to go to sleep.

3:21 pm
negativeneil

Riverdance, I LOVE French Silk Pie! Eat it every year for Thanksgiving dessert. It is a pain to make though
6:11 pm
Riverdance
so glad you enjoyed it...it is one of my favorite desserts
6:12 pm
Riverdance
it takes work to make something worthwhile!
6:13 pm
rururocks
how do you cut the threads minver?
6:14 pm
Minveryork
That is so true in all aspects of life Riverdance. I was spoiled by having other people always make the pie. I have to do it myself now, but that is ok. It's worth it
6:14 pm
Minveryork
Cut the threads???
6:14 pm
Riverdance
hello ruru
6:14 pm
Minveryork
Haha! I get it!!
6:15 pm

I guess I will leave the recipe up a bit longer then...thought about changing it to another...let me know folks
6:16 pm

6:16 pm
Minveryork
I have so many good recipes.Did not know which one to post in my profile, so I did not post any recipe.

6:17 pm
jmcnrick

6:18 pm
uusue2

6:18 pm
jmcnrick
boy i just realized why i eat so much chinese and indian--none of the other carry out menus sound good
6:19 pm
Riverdance
so wish we had delivery where I live...nothing like that...and carry out...by the time I get home it is cold
6:20 pm
jmcnrick
that is what a microwave is for river
6:20 pm
Riverdance
ewww...doesnt taste the same
6:20 pm
uusue2
one of the advantages of being in a university town - lots of delivery options (none of them exactly gourmet, though)
6:21 pm
Riverdance
tried that with chinese...yuk...then put in the oven on 200 degrees and dry...just not right
6:21 pm
Riverdance
I for once would like to pick up the phone and order pizza but no can do where I live...I am in the woods
6:22 pm
Riverdance
oops sorry...
6:24 pm
jmcnrick
well during the week i have the some problem--i can only order delivery on the weekend
6:24 pm
jmcnrick
mostly it tastes the same from the microwave as long as all you do is heat it
6:25 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm new chinese restarant--i am having dims sum it think\
6:25 pm
MollyL
Well River, for a positive spin, think of all the money you are saving. Ordering take out all the time is expensive. And not exactly the healthiest way to eat.
6:26 pm
Riverdance
yes I know Molly but for that rare event it would be nice.....oh well....I guess I must keep cooking...lol
6:26 pm
Riverdance
and hello Molly...nice to see you
6:28 pm
jmcnrick
hi molly
6:28 pm
jmcnrick
well microwaving packaged food is expensive too and this way i usually have left overs
6:29 pm
Riverdance
I have done that too...dont get me wrong...just wishing for a better way
6:29 pm
jmcnrick
i'm dreaming of a kitchen for christmas, just like the ones i used to know. . .

6:31 pm
jmcnrick
river i bought a silicon microwave steamer that reheats rice and cooks fish really well
6:31 pm
MollyL
To see, JMC a glow...I know
6:32 pm
jmcnrick
all aglow i think scans better molls but ty i was struggling with that phrase
6:32 pm
Riverdance
I have a rice cooker that I love...take a bit of time but the best sticky rice.....not a fish person here...my husband and son love it but not me..
6:33 pm
MollyL
*Packs up lyrics case and moves on* : (
6:33 pm
jmcnrick
it also reheats chinese well is the point
6:34 pm
jmcnrick
what!?! no molls lyric writing is a collaborative art!
6:34 pm
Riverdance
my DH and son and the ultimate fisherman and hunters....eat everything the catch and shoot....not for me....so much rice and fish or birds are cooked here
6:34 pm
Riverdance
whats wrong Molly
6:34 pm
Riverdance
is it something I said..sorry
6:35 pm
jmcnrick
no it was my fault river i tweaked her song lyric and she took it hard!

6:52 pm
Riverdance
I have been on cooks.com many time for great recipes...will try the illustrated one...thanks
6:53 pm
kje
you soak the cookies in a coffee alcohol blend
6:53 pm
kje
but not really, more like a quick dip - people end up with overly soggy tiramisu if they soak
6:53 pm
kje
if you had mine, you would like it ru
6:53 pm
Minveryork
I've used cooks.com recipes, but I like allrecipes.com
6:53 pm
kje
do not argue with me
6:53 pm
Riverdance
send us some kje
6:54 pm
Riverdance
will have to try that one too
6:54 pm
mrpresident
if there is a recipe site that shows you how via video, that would help with the 'oversoaking' issue
6:54 pm
rururocks
IT's often too sweet for me..
6:54 pm
Riverdance
I tend to use my own moms or grandmoms recipes the most
6:54 pm

cooks illustrated is the most reliable for this recipe - trust me on this one, I do know of what I speak

I have the proud mama look....my son played his last JV high school game yesterday and they won 4-2..my son getting 2 goals and then last night was our first indoor soccer game and they won 16-0 with my son getting 7 goals...as proud as I was for that one it was not a fun game...felt sorry for the other team...they were out of the league
6:58 pm
jmcnrick
*wonders where ones gets a masters in whipped cream and what kind of whip is required*
6:59 pm
jmcnrick
wow river!
6:59 pm
Riverdance
our boys even played alot of the game just passing....it was very sad
6:59 pm
Riverdance
electric whippers are good for me...if I had to do it by hand...you would have to admit me to the hospital...lol
7:00 pm
mrpresident
soccer is a great game... watching it now.
And congrats on your striker boy!
7:00 pm
Minveryork
Is it called soccer inAustralia or football mrpresident?
7:00 pm
Riverdance
thanks mrp...it is a great game and my favorite to watch...I cant keep stilll always jumping out of my seat....
7:01 pm
mrpresident
it was called soccer until 2 years ago, then got changed to football
7:01 pm
Riverdance
and after all Keith has gone through with his heart and surgeries...I could not be prouder or more scared...take your pick....
7:02 pm
mrpresident
but, we have 3 different types of football here... so I try to use the soccer term to describe what I referee
7:02 pm
mrpresident
LOL river! it is exciting... i am always jumping out of the way of the ball! LOL
7:02 pm
Riverdance
indoor is actually my favorite to watch....so fast paced and exciting...combo of hockey and soccer with executing that ball off the walls. it was quite a transition from going to afternoon outdoor to evening in one day
7:03 pm
mrpresident
nothing makes you wet your pants faster than getting hit square in the crotch by a 200km hour ball kicked only 5 meters away from you.
7:03 pm
Riverdance
well you are an official of course...they are always jumping out of the way of the ball....
7:03 pm
Riverdance
may do that now laughing...tough getting old!!!
7:04 pm
mrpresident
it makes the spectators eyes water too LOL
7:04 pm
jmcnrick
*gets out rubber boots*
7:04 pm
Riverdance
Its my fav sport...just love watching my son...you understand I know....
7:05 pm
mrpresident
river, I had some young Turnip give me a mouthful cause the ball hit me, and rebounded to the opposition... he was telling me that i had to restart play with HIS team having the ball...
7:05 pm
Riverdance
so outdoor is now done for us...no rubber boots needed....indoor just starting....gotta love it
7:06 pm
mrpresident
i told him to shut his mouth, that i was part of the fixture and deal with it!
7:06 pm
Riverdance
ya right...what age group do you ref>
7:06 pm
rururocks
has anyone seen wildcat lately?
7:07 pm
Riverdance
not for a while ruru...
7:07 pm
mrpresident
i ref from 12's to over 45's... mainly i do all age mens and womens games
7:07 pm
Riverdance
33 left and stuck...think I will go on FB for abit.
7:07 pm
Riverdance
wow mrp..thats quite the stretch of ages...good luck
7:08 pm
mrpresident
during our summer season here... i do outdoor night football, starts at 5.30pm and goes to 9.30... so start with the 16 year olds and end my night doing two mens all age games
7:08 pm
Riverdance
we have good refs and not so good refs....wish they all paid attention and not favor either way
7:08 pm
mrpresident
the over 45's are the worse!!! they are like big babies
7:08 pm
mrpresident
if you think a ref is favouring a team, you tell the officials
7:08 pm
Riverdance
I can see that...the older they get.........
7:09 pm
Riverdance
the boys let it go....the men dont.....
7:09 pm
jmcnrick
i saw her a few weeks ago ru
7:09 pm
mrpresident
sometimes, it is like the football is their pacifier, they lose it and have a temper tantrum
7:10 pm
Riverdance
its not always worth it....last year indoor playoffs...the ref had his grandson on the other team...called everything against us and nothing against the other team....we are good sportsman so we didnt fight it...it is what it is...our boys were proud of what they did and thats ti
7:11 pm
mrpresident
if he was an official ref, i would report it... and... they should not be reffing family in my opinion
7:11 pm
Riverdance
we are trying to teach our boys the right way.....sometimes it is hard when other are cheating...
7:12 pm
Riverdance
I agree..we are a small town...small league....political...wont get far...let the boys have fun and we explain the politics..they already understand
7:12 pm
mrpresident
the last time i reffed my son... i called him on three fouls and an off-side, and his team mates were saying... 'God, your mum really doesn't like you!'... it made the other's see there was no favouritism and the match went really well for both teams
7:13 pm
mrpresident
Luke just said, 'Nah, she plays by the rules... she is tough like that'
7:14 pm
mrpresident
At one point, I threatened to send him off and his team were flabbergasted by that! LOL
7:14 pm
Riverdance
good for you..it should be called if it is wrong....its amazing how some refs call everying and others call nothing.....we have teams that purposely put our players offsides....I am constantly yelling at my son to watch his offsides.....its just not straight up wherever you go....sad to say
7:14 pm
jmcnrick
my mother was always harder on me when i had her as a teacher
7:16 pm
mrpresident
indeed river... it is a tactic that is not against the rules, to put players offside is actually taught by some team coaches... it gives them possession of the ball and possession is what matters in the end
7:16 pm
Riverdance
mrp..you are teaching your son a great lesson...I am trying to do the same with mine without knowing all the rules..he does though...so when I ask why something happened...he readily admits his wrong or his teammates wrong...got to love it;
7:17 pm
mrpresident
see ya jmc
7:17 pm
Riverdance
I know...just seems dirty play to me but I am just learning the game as it really counts now...didnt in younger years
7:17 pm
Riverdance
bye jmc
7:17 pm
mrpresident
i couldn't bear my mother being my teacher in school... I would have left school LOL
7:18 pm
Riverdance
me either...
7:18 pm
Riverdance
I actually brought my Mom to Keiths last JV game yesterday...she absolutely loved it....yelled thoughout the game...I was shocked...what a grandchild will do that a child cannot...go figure.
7:19 pm
mrpresident
from 12 years on, the off-side rules apply and i try to encourage the parents of the 11 year olds to respect the ref, cause they get confuses and upset at times when they are called on things, things they didn't know about... it is just AMAZING to me how many coaches don't know the rules!!! or bother to look them up and teach the kids... so I ask the parents to do it
7:20 pm
Riverdance
My Mom is 83...I was so proud of her cheering the team on...she was so excited they won and that Keith scored 2 of their 4 goals...she told be she now has bragging rights...go MOM
7:21 pm
mrpresident
good on mum!
7:22 pm
Riverdance
Offsides is very confusing....I am constantly watching the line since the first year that applied to Keith...
We get called on it alot but for our own inattention...not for the other teams creating it.;
7:22 pm
mrpresident
my son is a striker too, and he plays to win WITH his team mates... that makes a good game! And he gets half or more of the goals too. I yell from the sideline all the time! is good for the heart! LOL
7:23 pm
mrpresident
the players has to be behind or on par with the second-last defender (the goalie is counted as a defender you see)
7:24 pm
Riverdance
Keith is the top scorer of the JV team...I am so proud...yes I have been called a fence shake because I am always calling from the sideline....absolutely love the game...Keith has been mentioned in the local paper almost every game win or loss for his efforts...I hope he makes varsity next year
7:24 pm
mrpresident
and that is ONLY at the point that the ball is kicked.... so the ball could be kicked, and the attacker starts running at that point past the second last defender... that is not offside, even though he looks like he is offside, he wasn't when the ball was kicked
7:25 pm
Minveryork
mrpresident,just saw your post about not being able to have your mom as your teacher. I had my mother as a teacher for 2 years. She taught all of her kids at one time or another when we were in 7th&8th grade.
7:25 pm
Riverdance
hmmm..I always left at him to get above the line of the defendes
7:26 pm
mrpresident
however, if the attacker moved past the second last defender into an off side position BEFORE the ball was kicked, that is offside
7:27 pm
Riverdance
too much to look for....ball kicked...when someone moved...where there positions were....god love the refs....
7:27 pm
mrpresident
and, a player can be standing in an offside position, but if he isn't involved in the play of the ball, and the player that received the ball was onside, there is no offside, even though an attacker was standing in offside (that attacker didn't go for or touch the ball)
7:28 pm
Riverdance
my son was always the only back with the defenders...so when the ball came..he started his sprint...he is fast and always beat the defenders..whistle blows and out....ugh!
7:28 pm
mrpresident
river, it is 110% concentration for every single second of the game... and if you take your eyes off it for a nano second, something happens and you have lost the power to make the right decision... it is bloody exhausting and I ref 4 games a day in winter and 5-6 games a night in summer
7:29 pm
Riverdance
I envy you my friend...I couldnt do it....good show~
7:30 pm
mrpresident
just teach him to stand just behind the imaginary line of the defender... as soon as he hears/sees the kick of the ball to him, he runs... and that is not offside! the ref needs to be reported if he/she is not clear on that rule
7:30 pm
mrpresident
are the assistant refs on the sideline calling the offsides??
7:31 pm
Riverdance
I will say goodnight to my babble friends and off to FB...anyone coming? Have so loved chatting mrp...you have taught me alot.
7:32 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye Riverdance! I'll see you tomorrow in the log.
7:32 pm
mrpresident

Great chatting to you too
7:32 pm
Riverdance
Assistant refs...what is that...we have two officials...one on either side of the field
7:33 pm

Actually you don't need to understand math to solve logic problems - they are different things. A good example is Sudoku - that's a logic puzzle that needs no math.
8:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
logic devolves to math. i tried for years to improve my ability to do logic problems and was not able to. i can't do math in my head either

9:39 pm
Minveryork
I am playing letterblox now & supposedly somebody is cheating. Not sure how you can cheat at that game.
9:40 pm
mrpresident
i have been looking for this particular pair as they are trifocal... otherwise changing glasses for long and short distances
9:40 pm
crosshair
(((mrp)))
9:40 pm
uusue2
ah - I have bifocals and take them off when I need to read something really small
9:40 pm
mrpresident
(((((crossy))))))
9:41 pm
mrpresident
i am amazed at trifocals... just fabulous really.... can do puter work, watch tv, and see my gorgeous view of the sunset
9:41 pm
crosshair
crossy is learning to rebenave and trying to deal with his fist pair of glasses at 47!
9:41 pm
mrpresident
and damn it I am going to enjoy that view for the next 3 weeks! LOL
9:41 pm
crosshair
rebehave*
9:42 pm
mrpresident
oh darling, you poor young boy you! glasses at 47! I feel for you sweetie
9:42 pm
uusue2
I always thought the sections on trifocals would be too narrow - but they work ok for you, mrp?
9:42 pm
mrpresident
they are very good usue, just don't shake your head or nod when reading LOL!
9:43 pm
crosshair
i only need them for reading
9:44 pm
uusue2
might look into them, mrp
9:44 pm
mrpresident
i did pay the better $$ for them... got them about 6 months ago... important to pay the right money or you get rubbish... in this case you get what you pay for
9:45 pm
uusue2
I have vision insurance - it doesn't cover everything but I do go to a good provider
9:45 pm
mrpresident
crossy, i didn't know i had eye problems until I became a pilot... i could read the instruments no problem, but when it came to visual ... i was squinting
9:45 pm
mrpresident
and I was only 15 years old!
9:46 pm
mrpresident
same sue.... I had to pay about $240 extra
9:46 pm
uusue2
you became a pilot at age 15, mrp? I am very impressed!!!
9:47 pm
mrpresident
sue, I have done some amazing things in my life... many wonderful opportunities came my way. Have had a very interesting and happy life
9:47 pm
crosshair
and we are about the same age i am guessing mrp,if not,you are too hawt to be risking yourself in those small planes!
9:47 pm
uusue2
very cool, mrp!
9:48 pm
mrpresident
there is NOTHING on this planet like getting in a small aircraft, taking off and heading wherever the hell you want.... 5000 ft in the air, all on your own!! It is almost like a survival skill... a rush
9:49 pm
mrpresident
if God had wanted me to fly, he would have given me huge breasts! but alas... have to use a fixed wing plane.
9:49 pm
uusue2
I had a friend who was a pilot, and went up with him - it was great even though I wasn't at the controls
9:50 pm
mrpresident
before 9/11, i got to sit in the co-pilot seat in every airline I went up in!! that was amazing too!!
9:51 pm
crosshair
i always love the bush float planes..landing on a smalll ake that looks like the size of a postage stamp surrounded by trees is a rush indeed
9:51 pm
mrpresident
oooooh, i did that about 5 years ago crossy!
9:52 pm
crosshair
once the trees clear on the shore,you have to drop instantly then cometo a grinding halt before you hit the other side
9:53 pm
mrpresident
that is just like Lord Howe Island... you have to jump the mountain and drop really fast to make the top of the runway or you skid straight into the forest
9:53 pm
uusue2
fireworks! last word was first we4/9
9:53 pm
Jellen
Hooray for sue!
9:53 pm
crosshair
we used to go on one week fly in fishing trips..would not think that a old otter could carry all that beer;0
9:54 pm
mrpresident
that is fun.... knowing there is a runway, dropping like a stone (cause you float out of your seat) and landing 2 wheels to 1 without breaking the plane up
9:54 pm
crosshair
yaa for sue!!
9:54 pm
mrpresident
on ya sue!
9:54 pm
Minveryork
Congratulations uusue2 on your fireworks!Way to go
9:55 pm
uusue2
landing at Los Alamos was interesting - the runway goes off the end of a mesa (mountain on the other end) so taking off is easy, you drop off the end
9:55 pm
uusue2
but landing, there can be funny winds up the cliffs and you have to hit it right
9:55 pm
crosshair
those planes do not bother me mrp,the way i figure is that if the pilot messes up he is right there with me to land in the tree tops
9:56 pm
mrpresident
ah crossy and sue... us pilots have one thing and one thing only in our minds.... protect and keep our passangers safe.... if I mess up a landing, i pull up and go around again for another try... done that a few times
9:57 pm
mrpresident
sue, wind shear is my biggest fear... slams you down like hammer
9:57 pm
crosshair
what about hose up and down drafts over smallmtns..thosemakeold crossy almost toss his cookies
9:58 pm
mrpresident
i am not so proud that i think i am a perfect pilot... it is like an 'unwritten oath'... you don't mess with people's lives
9:58 pm

Tomorrow's icon theme is EvaNadine's wedding.Is she getting married tomorrow? Sorry to change subject.

10:08 pm
crosshair
my space bar is having issues
10:08 pm
uusue2
and min, most browsers have a search option built in
10:08 pm
Nef
She's either just celebrated or will be celebrating her 1st anniversary soon
10:08 pm
mrpresident
indeed crossy! revenge is something that comes very naturally, and chocolate should be hunted for and presented as pennance
10:09 pm
uusue2
so if you go to the rankings page you should be able to search it
10:09 pm
Minveryork
I said earlier on today if ho 8/50 is a word, the same should be true for the mo 5/12 word. I tried it and it did not work.
10:09 pm
Nef
Hi sue! Did you finish your readings?
10:09 pm
mrpresident
bbs, need to organise the lunch schedule for the hungry little ones
10:10 pm

10:12 pm
uusue2

Minveryork
Oh my gosh! I NEVER knew about that uusue2!Thanks
10:13 pm
uusue2
yw, min, I think most browsers will do that
10:13 pm
Minveryork
So many times I have tried to look for someone in the rankings & it took forever to find them!If only I knew
10:14 pm
Minveryork
Oops! Thanks amelu0218 for that helpful information.
10:15 pm
crosshair
i love those 60,s and early 70,s books as the male lead spends the entire book lighting cigarettes and pouring wine for the female lead..i swear they had no time for anything else other than smoking!

:o) You're very welcome!
10:15 pm

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

10:18 pm
Nef
I've just listed a bunch of peaple in my Friends list; people who I chat with and friends (of course), and also others.
10:19 pm
Minveryork
Any other control key rules I do not know about that would make my laptop time easier? That is what I like about PCs. You could never do that on a Macintosh.
10:22 pm
amelu0218
control a, highlights all. control c copies everything highlighted. control v pastes whatever you've copied.
10:22 pm
Nef
LOL, Min! I just Did that on my Mac! It worked for me too
10:22 pm
uusue2
control-p prints the page
10:23 pm
Minveryork
I know about control A already.That is the only other one that I know about.Usually right click to copy and paste things. Seems like the quickest way to do that.
10:23 pm
amelu0218
if you're editing a document, control x will cut whatever you highlight and you can move it somewhere else w/control c.
10:23 pm
uusue2
control-t gives you a new tab, if you are using a tabbed browser
10:24 pm
Minveryork
Oh yeah, I also knew about control P also. Right click to print something also. I love the right click feature.
10:25 pm
Nef
every single one of those is working on my Mac too! (I wonder why my kids never told me this?)
10:25 pm
big red
ho 8/50 pls
10:25 pm
Minveryork
Maybe it is right clicking you can't do on a Macintosh
10:25 pm
Minveryork
That ho 8/50 word is that ho 5/12 plus males big red.
10:26 pm
big red
thanks Min
10:27 pm
Minveryork
I will be getting a Macintosh in the next few months.
10:27 pm
Nef
no, I can right click too with most mouses; there is 1 type of Mac mouse that you can't right click with though
10:28 pm
Nef
YAY, Min! So glad to hear that (but if you use Babble Expert, you will miss that. :-(
10:28 pm
Minveryork
Yes, that is the one my mom has. I use her computer when I go home and I hate it,but I will be getting one myself in the ne 4/4 future so I better get used to it.
10:29 pm
Minveryork
I don't use Babble Expert. When I had it I never used it.Do not see the point in getting Babble Expert again
10:30 pm
Nef
You can use any mouse you want with a Mac. You dont' have to use the one-piece one. There are also Mac mouses that look like they are the one peice ones but the have tiny buttons on the side you don't see
10:30 pm
Minveryork
I will be getting my Grandma's computer so whatever she has is what I will be getting. Think it's 3 years old
10:32 pm
Nef
if she has the one piece mouse, just go get a $10 generic one and you will do fine. I'm using a generic laptop mouse right now (2 1/2 year old grandson didn't get the concept of "touch, not hit"; -- it broke
10:33 pm
Minveryork
LOL Nef!
10:37 pm
Nef
"actually, it was quite old and kind of touchy anyway; I'm sort of glad it's gone now since I have one that works." was not found in the dictionary
10:37 pm
Nef
sorry, typed that in the wrong box here
10:42 pm
amelu0218
would that be a reverse pb error?
10:43 pm
Nef
hmmm, I don't know what it would be considered, I do it a lot some times
10:44 pm
amelu0218
I can definitely relate to that, LOL!
10:45 pm
Nef
no one else ever admits to it when I'm around; glad to know I'm not the only one who does that! :-)
10:46 pm
amelu0218
no way!
10:46 pm
amelu0218
the dictionary doesn't like it when you copy and paste the entire word list in that little box, either!
10:47 pm
Minveryork
Has anyone ever admitted to babbling while in a very gaseous state. Well here is first, that is me right now
10:47 pm
Nef
LOL! I've never tried that before!
10:48 pm
Nef
yo forgot your Beano, Min?
10:48 pm

LOL! Watch out for fireworks min!

10:57 pm
Nef
LOL! I guess my timing was off; I had to go turn off the teapot before it woke up DH; then brewed a cup of tea with honey and lemon in it (for my sore throat)
10:58 pm

big red
thanks you.
11:02 pm
mrpresident
i mean, i don't understand the talk, 'bottom of the ninth' etc... but i do get strikes and no ball
11:03 pm
mrpresident
have been watching Texas play very well, in my opinion anyway :) for the little I know of the game
11:04 pm
mrpresident
and names like 'Reggie Jackson' are just synonymous with baseball to me! LOL
11:04 pm
Nef
0 innings, divided into which team is up (top= first part of the inning; is the visiting team up to bat; bottom is the home team up to bat
11:05 pm
mrpresident
ah! thanks for that.... and how many innings do they get??
11:05 pm
Nef
sorry, that was 9 innings per game (unless tied)
11:06 pm
mrpresident
ok, making more sense :)) luv ya nef. getting an education on a popular sport ... looks very popular!!
11:06 pm
Nef
if there is a tie at the end of 9 innings; they keep playing until they aren't tied at the end of tan inning (the bottom
11:08 pm
mrpresident
well, i am impressed with the gut on some of these players!
11:09 pm
mrpresident
fitness is not required, but hitting and pitching is the aim of the game

and if the ball is caught on the full, is the person who bat it out??
11:10 pm
Nef
if the ball doesn't touch the ground and is caught; the batter is out
11:10 pm
mrpresident
i see the diamond shape on the screen, showing there are players on bases... the aim is to get those players out so they don't get around the diamond to home?
11:11 pm
mrpresident
thanks nef. that makes sense... and it doesn't affect any other player on bases?
11:11 pm
Nef
If you think those players have guts, Google Mickey Mantle and check out his later years!
11:12 pm
mrpresident
they all are very stocky guys... with their bellies hanging over their belts.
11:12 pm
mrpresident
and rather large arses :)) but then again, I prefer football (soccer players) as they are fit looking
11:12 pm
Nef
they can't advance if the ball is caught like that. The object of baseball is to hit the ball and go around all 3 bases to home
11:12 pm
mrpresident
Can't stand Rugby players... they look like meatheads!
11:13 pm
mrpresident
so they can't sneak a base on a ball caught on the full
11:14 pm
mrpresident
and st louise won the game btw...
11:14 pm
Nef
LOL! We used to go to lots of Twins games here in MN back in the 80's and 90's and watched Kirby Pucket play. He was very stocky; but although he looked out of shape when you saw him on TV and from far away; he was pretty solid
11:15 pm
mrpresident
now I get to watch the Wolvies v Swansea game of soccer :)) am extending my sporting 'stuff'.
11:15 pm
mrpresident
yes, solid indeed!
11:15 pm
Nef
They can steal a base AFTER the strike if the pitcher is slow
11:15 pm
mrpresident
i don't know if you watch soccer nef, but they are gorgeous fit!
11:16 pm
mrpresident
just don't look at their faces ;o
11:16 pm
Nef
(solid as in muscular) My sister taught my dtr. to check out the players butts and legs with the binoculars at those games!
11:16 pm
mrpresident
since Beckham came on board, everyone else is ugly as sin in soccer LOL!
11:17 pm
mrpresident
soccer players are not muscular, just very defined and lithe... I like that in a man!
11:18 pm
mrpresident
omg... they called the field Moulinuex and the commentator just pronounced it molly-new.
11:19 pm
Nef
Why is that anyway? I was up at the National Sports Center today for a bit of hockey; they have the amateur soccer games there every summer (international)
11:20 pm
Nef
what should it be?
11:20 pm
mrpresident
well, it should have a french accent! LOL!!
11:21 pm
mrpresident
mol-le-nue!!!!
11:21 pm
Nef
LOL! I would call it molly new myself (I can't pronounce many foreign words right
11:25 pm
Nef
growing up in Northern MN in the middle of America I wasn't exposed to any different languages and I read a lot of books, but reading doesn't have pronunciations. Now I still can't pronounce words right!
11:26 pm
Nef
(I have 12 words left to find, I'm going to concentrate on finishing now)
11:26 pm
mrpresident
wow... we had to learn 4 languages
11:26 pm
mrpresident
hi jellen (((hugs))) how you going darling?
11:27 pm
Nef
my small school didn't offer any foreign languages back then
11:27 pm
Jellen
I all right, thanks...
11:27 pm
Jellen
I am all right, that is!
11:27 pm
mrpresident
perfect jellen... alright is good
11:27 pm
Jellen
I'm struggling with English tonight!
11:28 pm
mrpresident
i struggle to remember my children's names at times... go through the list of animals before I pick out the right name when calling for my son or daughter at times LOL!
11:28 pm
Nef
but I understood that, Jellen!
11:29 pm
mrpresident
It is good to have to learn different languages, but it is also very interesting to find out that English is the most difficult language on the planet!
11:30 pm
jesdraggon
ho8 is a real word? bah!
11:30 pm
mrpresident
indeed jes! confirms my comment about English! ha!
11:31 pm
jesdraggon
my gramma pretty consistently calls me my aunt's name
11:31 pm
mrpresident
my favourite language to learn was the Slavic language, as you can say 'i am going to the shops to buy eggs' six different ways. English has got so so many grammar complications, it is difficult for many.
11:32 pm
mrpresident
i call my brother Luke, and that is my son's name... he is actually Robert, but do you think I can say that when he is around?? weird
11:35 pm
mrpresident
and of course, my brother takes it bad, my son takes it bad... Luke thinks Robert is a bad influence, Robert thinks Luke is a little sh**, and the merry-go-round keeps turning. Then I get the whole 'Freudian Slip' crap from my brother that I treat him like a child... I just give up. I make mistakes... sorry, and move on.
11:35 pm
Nef
my kids swear that they thought their names were the same; I would call them both "Bobann" since I never got them straigfht when I was tired
11:35 pm
mrpresident
anyway, that is for another time... clues people... clues for those in need!!
11:36 pm
jesdraggon
call them both "boy"
11:36 pm
mrpresident
haha nef! my friend calls her kids Jonoah... One is Josh, the other Noah... when she is tired, that is what they get too
11:37 pm
mrpresident
indeed jes... better than what some people call their kids! I am stunned into silence and despair when children get called nasty names... would rather mistake them for the cat
11:39 pm
jesdraggon
bruce's son (also bruce) is generally just called "kid". when I met him (he was 11) I asked if he'd rather be called something else, and he said no, "kid" is fine.

jillibus

11:52 pm
Jellen
Yes, the Cards won decisively.
