12:22 am

MLFAN17

12:32 am

negativeneil

Hi jilli.

12:34 am

jillibus

I'm all tuckered out after watching that baseball game!

12:34 am

Alohablue

who won? missed it

12:34 am

negativeneil

I feel that way too without watching baseball.

12:35 am

negativeneil

Oh there you are Blue.

12:35 am

jillibus

Cards won

12:35 am

negativeneil

I guess you missed what I said?

12:35 am

jillibus

bottom of the 11th -- very exciting!

12:35 am

Alohablue

I'm here..still trying to figure out what all this means.........I'm not getting the clues

12:36 am

Jellen

Walk-off solo home run...

12:36 am

Jellen

Hi all...

12:36 am

negativeneil

Ok. I'll try to explain it: when someone gives a clue like or6,24 for eg. it means the word starts with "or", is 6 letters in length and is worth 24 points.

12:36 am

Alohablue

oh sorry Neil.....say again?

12:36 am

jillibus

hi again jellen

12:37 am

jillibus

blue -- have you found the list of clues?

12:37 am

Alohablue

ooo.......ok

12:37 am

negativeneil

Oh. Check my Oct. 26 update on profile Blue... there's a link there that may interest you. Video footage we shot down at Occupy LA. I'm interviewing some of the participants.

12:37 am

Alohablue

when I go there, it loses the game.......can't seem to manage babble cues and still keep the game open

12:38 am

Alohablue

ok Neil.....will do

12:38 am

negativeneil

A friend shot it for me so I could put it in my website... getting that online finally.

12:38 am

negativeneil

When you go where?

12:38 am

negativeneil

Not sure what you mean?

12:38 am

Alohablue

to the clue list

12:38 am

jillibus

right-click, Blue, and open the list in a new window.

12:38 am

negativeneil

You right-click the Lickety's clues list link, then select to open in a new window, Blue.

12:39 am

negativeneil

That way you are still on this page too.

12:39 am

Alohablue

right......that's what I'm not getting.......lemme try again

12:39 am

jillibus

Then shrink it sidewaqys and put it beside the grid.

12:39 am

negativeneil

Hold down the bottom left "Alt" key on your keyboard with your left thumb, then press the "Tab" key once to switch back and forth between windows

12:40 am

negativeneil

Or do what jilli said if you don't need to have the pages full screen.

12:40 am

Alohablue

lemme mess with that......thanks

12:40 am

jillibus

But better still, if you're not useing a Mac, get Babble Expert. It puts everything on the same page.

12:40 am

negativeneil

Ok, you right-click on the link so an options menu pops up and in that, select open in new window.

12:41 am

negativeneil

brb getting a drink of something.

12:43 am

cybernan

stuck at 65

12:44 am

dizgrannie

oopsie Nan 11 left here...lol

12:44 am

negativeneil

Stuck on what, nan?

12:44 am

negativeneil

[back]

12:44 am

cybernan

think I'll list

12:44 am

negativeneil

Yeah. That usually helps a lot.

12:46 am

negativeneil

More than once now I've done the whole grid with no list, just to get stuck on one last word... that was only 5 letters long, lol. So I listed just for that one word and slapped myself in the head when I saw it easily from the stats in the list... duh.

12:46 am

negativeneil

And what's even more stupid? It was the same damn word... both times, haha!

12:47 am

jillibus

that's when people slap people with a fish

12:47 am

negativeneil

I needed to be slapped with something.

12:48 am

jillibus

that or6 word is NOT Oregon, dammit

12:49 am

Alohablue

lovely to see all of you......I'll mess with this some more tomorrow....got some biz to take care of......be well all!! will check out your post, neil, aloha!!

12:49 am

negativeneil

Ummm, no. It's definitely not.

12:49 am

Jellen

Bye, blue

12:49 am

negativeneil

Good night to you Blue... take care.

12:49 am

jillibus

Bye blue -- too bad you spend such a short time here!

12:49 am

Alohablue

aloha Jellen :) night folks! <poof>

12:50 am

negativeneil

But it contains all the same letters, jilli.

12:50 am

negativeneil

If that helps?

12:51 am

negativeneil

Is Blue still here or is she or****?

12:51 am

jillibus

thanks, neil, I'll work on it but my brain has left

12:51 am

negativeneil

Best hint I can give.

12:51 am

flosey

I'm off to bed (have been up since 3:am mountain time)

12:51 am

jillibus

gotcha, neil -- I had tried that minus the last letter, duh

12:52 am

flosey

goodnight all

12:52 am

negativeneil

Night flosey.

12:52 am

negativeneil

jilli... that same word I got stuck on at the end of the grid on 2 different occasions? It was: "stent"

12:52 am

dizgrannie

**FIREWORDS**

12:52 am

jillibus

gnight flosey

12:52 am

negativeneil

How's that for "duh"?

12:52 am

rururocks

I am halfway but with lots of blank tiles

12:58 am

negativeneil

ruru?

12:59 am

cybernan

12:59 am

rururocks

hi neil.. yes

1:00 am

negativeneil

Check the Oct. 26 update and link I put there.

1:00 am

scouser

cybernan g-female possessive word - vowel - vowel

1:00 am

negativeneil

gh6,27 -- gh + *** (time period) + vowel

1:01 am

negativeneil

Hi scouser!

1:01 am

rururocks

I am not understanding this occupy .....blank thing

1:01 am

cybernan

ty neil -- a new one for me

1:01 am

scouser

cybernan - looks like a portuguese word

1:01 am

cybernan

*!* ta da *!*

1:01 am

negativeneil

scouser, hydra said you wanted my email? It's on profile.

1:01 am

scouser

Hi Neil -

1:02 am

cybernan

just looked at the def -- no wonder!

1:02 am

scouser

OK Neil - thanks.

1:02 am

jillibus

strange wrod, that gh 6

1:02 am

cybernan

good night all :)

1:02 am

scouser

Hmmm that's one we haven't thought of here.... yet!

1:03 am

jillibus

*word

1:03 am

scouser

yes Jillbus - definitely a wrod. I think you have christened a new chog word i.e.not quite a babblet but almost.

1:04 am

jillibus

LOL scouser!

1:05 am

scouser

Fireworks here. Must go and get tarted up as need a new photo for my driving licence.

1:05 am

jillibus

phant -- furnace

1:05 am

rururocks

nothing like a tart driver's license

1:05 am

jillibus

wd scouser

1:06 am

rururocks

phantom: cruncher

1:06 am

scouser

Yes and if we can have ro4/4 then why cannot we have pe7/40-on which is another type of the same animal

1:06 am

negativeneil

You want to look like a tart in your driver's license photo? Yep. That might impress the cops if you get pulled over.

1:08 am

scouser

I see that the vernacular is causing trouble. Tarted up just means get dressed, comb hair, apply (non-existent can't use it) make-up and sit up straight.

1:08 am

negativeneil

Haha!

1:08 am

rururocks

tarted up in america means hooker

1:08 am

negativeneil

I know that. I've been over there... had to tease though.

1:09 am

negativeneil

But yeah... it means what ruru said, here.

1:09 am

rururocks

met a few tarts in my day

1:09 am

negativeneil

Me too.

1:09 am

rururocks

pop tarts actually

1:09 am

scouser

Yeah. I can do the first three but after almost a year of Babbling I am sure I am two inches shorter cos curved over the computer keyboard for hours and hours ........

1:10 am

negativeneil

Haha. Chocolate or strawberry?

1:10 am

scouser

Hi ruru - hilarious icon

1:11 am

negativeneil

Did you get the video link ru?

1:11 am

rururocks

:D thanks scouser

1:11 am

scouser

I remember the very first pop-tart food - volcanic temperatures

1:11 am

negativeneil

You'll laugh, shake your head and roll your eyes at some of the people there.

1:12 am

rururocks

I haven't looked at it..but I saved it neil

1:12 am

rururocks

do you understand this movement here in america?

1:13 am

rururocks

to me it's a bunch of people who don't have the money to go to a club and have fun

1:13 am

jillibus

ruru, I think the anti-Wall Street thing has sread to Europe too

1:14 am

jillibus

*spread

1:14 am

negativeneil

Yes ruru. But this will explain it much better for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wa

1:14 am

jillibus

(too tired)

1:14 am

rururocks

I mean I do understand the youth of today.. going to school and coming out and ??? what.. I don't have a job waiting for me/ attitude

1:15 am

rururocks

but what does this accomplish.. ?

1:15 am

negativeneil

'They are mainly protesting social and economic inequality, corporate greed, corporate power and influence over government (particularly from the financial services sector), and of lobbyists."

1:16 am

negativeneil

"The participants' slogan "We are the 99%" refers to income inequality in the United States between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population."

1:16 am

rururocks

oh please.. and how is this going to change that

1:16 am

negativeneil

I just didn't feel like typing all of that.

1:16 am

negativeneil

Who knows... but doing nothing will change nothing.

1:17 am

rururocks

I'm sure John Chambers really worries about that when he fills his Bentley with gas

1:17 am

jillibus

I give up -- going to bed. At least I got over halfway. Goodnight all!...*poof

1:17 am

hi dart! (hugs)

1:21 am

mrpresident

it is going... not my best day, but F it... will have a BBQ later and creatively develop my plot for a happy evening

1:21 am

rururocks

what is the point of having your head bashed in by a cop in Oakland jacked up on too many espressos and donuts

1:21 am

negativeneil

Sorry to hear that mrp.

1:22 am

negativeneil

No point at all. I'm very upset over how the cops are acting. Those cops need to take lessons from our LAPD. They've been good with the protestors here.

1:22 am

mrpresident

Oakland... hmmm, a friend of mine got carjacked there

1:22 am

negativeneil

Even bringing them in supplies... it's been very peaceful here too.

1:22 am

mrpresident

is there protests happening?? what am I missing here?

1:23 am

mrpresident

(((((ruuster))))) missed you the last couple of days :)

1:23 am

mrpresident

oh my! must go look that up

1:23 am

rururocks

please tell me wild sent you some donations mr p

1:24 am

negativeneil

Similar demonstrations are being held in 70 cities all over the country now, including this one.

1:24 am

mrpresident

will go look ruru... brb

1:27 am

mrpresident

sorry ruru, no dice. have you seen her about?

1:27 am

rururocks

I've done protests neil.. this one just seems like social defiance. with little purpose and certainly very little leadership or direction

1:27 am

rururocks

unbelievable mr p..I'm a little bothered you don't have it

1:28 am

dart001

agree with you on that one ruru

1:28 am

mrpresident

i do have good news ruuster! I have a house to move into... in just under 12 days... chasing up the government agencies to pay my bond and 2 weeks rent. that does take a while to get.

1:29 am

rururocks

that is news I will take mr p.. oh that sounds good

1:29 am

dart001

great mrp!!

1:30 am

mrpresident

I know that wild is a teacher and she can be overwhelmed with being busy, and she has contacted me at the beginning of week saying that she was waiting on a canadian transfer that was going awry, and would get to me in a couple of days... but haven't heard otherwise.

1:30 am

negativeneil

Oh wow. so happy to hear that mrp!

1:30 am

rururocks

she should send what she has.. there's plenty to help you there. I'll be happy to send more too

1:30 am

negativeneil

about your house! That's great news.

1:32 am

negativeneil

I agree ruru, btw... I didn't create it, I just decided to interview some of the protestors to see what they had to say. Their ideas get pretty interesting. Some are... just bizarre.

1:32 am

mrpresident

the house is very private, a three bedroom at the back of bumf***-nowhere... just what I needed! and it is about 3km from this house, AND, as I am in a bind, Mark's 'boss' has agreed to pay for the removal costs if the agencies doesn't help.
I have been much more relaxed since yesterday after finding out about getting a house for us. I will send photos!

1:33 am

negativeneil

You'll find the footage amusing. I had to make real effort to keep a straight face with one guy there. You won't need me to tell you which one.

1:33 am

rururocks

bum**** sounds really nice mr p

1:34 am

mrpresident

LOL! thanks ruuster! pretty much means no one will be coming around there!

1:34 am

negativeneil

That sounds just perfect mrp! :)

1:34 am

negativeneil

Yep. Peace, quiet and privacy. And your stalker won't know where the heck you are... that works.

1:35 am

negativeneil

Make sure your new phone is unlisted of course.

1:36 am

negativeneil

[which goes without saying]

1:36 am

mrpresident

I am getting a private mail box and silent number

1:36 am

negativeneil

Good!

1:36 am

mrpresident

those that know my number know how to find me, but no one can 'look me up' now

1:37 am

negativeneil

Stalker Prick will weep tears of frustration.

1:37 am

negativeneil

Yes. That's how you need to do it.

1:37 am

mrpresident

AND... i started back at refereeing on Tuesday night... against all doctor and specialist orders, but I had to to get my sanity and life back!

1:37 am

negativeneil

That's how I have it.

1:38 am

negativeneil

My family and friends/work associates have my number... nobody else can get it.

1:38 am

rururocks

glad I don't have a stalker

1:38 am

mrpresident

neil, i only found out today that his best friend lives one block away from my new house... but he won't know where I am cause I live well off the street and have a private garage

1:38 am

negativeneil

I'm glad you don't either ru. Lucky you!

1:38 am

rururocks

ugh

1:38 am

dart001

me too ruru..unless you try coming here to "fix" my computer or internet connection :)

1:39 am

negativeneil

Oh shit, mrp. Does his best friend know what you look like too?

1:39 am

rururocks

LOL.. yeah..let me at it dart

1:39 am

rururocks

just for one week

1:39 am

negativeneil

I just hope that guy never sees you coming and going if he would recognize you.

1:39 am

negativeneil

Hi dart.

1:39 am

dart001

1:39 am

dart001

hi neil

1:39 am

negativeneil

Haha very funny.

1:40 am

mrpresident

and I have good security... no way anyone can come up to my new home without external alarms going off either!

1:40 am

rururocks

*sends wigs and fake eyelashes to mr p for disguise*

1:40 am

negativeneil

I have a pretty blonde wig you can borrow mrp. It didn't look too fetching on me.

1:40 am

mrpresident

i will put on my disguise, take a pick and see if you all recognise me! brb!

1:40 am

rururocks

was that from burning man too neil..lol

1:40 am

negativeneil

Oh that's good mrp.

1:41 am

negativeneil

1:41 am

negativeneil

1:42 am

negativeneil

of course even, geez.

1:42 am

negativeneil

Laura says I look like Jessica Simpson there. On a bad day. Yeah... she needed a shave. I thought it was funnier to leave the razor stubble there and apply the makeup over that.

1:42 am

rururocks

LOL.. good one Laura

1:43 am

dart001

you're scaring us neil...or maybe scarring

1:43 am

negativeneil

I think both.

1:43 am

1:48 am

rururocks

1:49 am

negativeneil

Why thanks! What a compliment.

1:49 am

rururocks

*mails Bandana to neil*

1:49 am

negativeneil

Especially the part about NOT falling off the stage, lol.

1:49 am

negativeneil

I try not to do that.

1:49 am

negativeneil

It wouldn't be easy to shoot photos if I did that.

1:50 am

negativeneil

[I'm never on a stage for any other reason]

1:50 am

negativeneil

A has nearly fallen off a few times though.

1:50 am

dart001

1:51 am

negativeneil

Me? You've gotta be kidding. No way.

1:51 am

rururocks

*gr5*

1:51 am

negativeneil

Haha!

1:51 am

negativeneil

I mentioned you when I first saw this grid ru. That was my first word found... thought of you right away.

1:51 am

negativeneil

For some reason!

1:51 am

dart001

1:51 am

rururocks

1:52 am

negativeneil

Haha, dart.

1:53 am

rururocks

*imagines dart in a wig*

1:53 am

negativeneil

Even more amazing... I got into makeup.

1:53 am

negativeneil

Applied very badly as you can see... because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

1:53 am

rururocks

Oh jeezus

1:53 am

negativeneil

Like my gay brother said, only a straight man could apply makeup that badly.

1:54 am

rururocks

yeah.. I have to agree

1:54 am

rururocks

you have that sorta beyonce-from-hell kinda look..lol

1:54 am

negativeneil

He laughed... told me the lipstick goes on the lips, not on the teeth.

1:54 am

negativeneil

Yep. Well it was Halloween... was I not supposed to look scary?

1:55 am

rururocks

*mission accomplished*

1:55 am

rururocks

how come mench isn't accepted

1:56 am

negativeneil

Because it's "mensch".

1:56 am

dart001

2:00 am

rururocks

2:00 am

negativeneil

You're pretty good ru... you finish every grid don't you?

2:00 am

negativeneil

Many don't.

rururocks

2:17 am

Patxxx

I know but it's breakfast time here. I will remember, no It so rare I'll just carry on as normal.

2:17 am

rururocks

I have sworn in the chat.. so I'm not so innocent either

2:18 am

dart001

i know that you were kneeling in church to atone for that...maybe cause of your leg probs?

2:18 am

Patxxx

Most of my swear words are in the enable!!!

2:18 am

dart001

that one works too pat

2:18 am

rururocks

*F*** was not found in the dictionary

2:19 am

dart001

2:19 am

rururocks

ROFL

2:19 am

rururocks

2:19 am

dart001

rururocks

night all.. I'm off to bed

2:21 am

negativeneil

2:21 am

dart001

bye ru

2:21 am

negativeneil

Your swear word, Pat? Oh goody. You mean there's omeone else besides me here with a propensity to pepper their conversation with expletives? Wow. Pleased to meet you. :)

2:22 am

negativeneil

Uhhh... "someone" else even.

2:22 am

dart001

she was talking about you a ways back, neil

2:22 am

negativeneil

Oh the F-bomb? My personal favorite.

2:22 am

negativeneil

She was? Pat was? I don't even know her.

2:22 am

dart001

read back a bit

2:23 am

mrpresident

ok... here we are

2:23 am

negativeneil

I just did, haha.

2:23 am

negativeneil

I said that word at that age!

2:23 am

negativeneil

And I turned out ok... I think?

2:23 am

negativeneil

Welcome back mrp. :)

2:23 am

dart001

jury is still out neil :)

2:24 am

negativeneil

lol dart!

2:24 am

dart001

how do we see it mrp?

2:24 am

negativeneil

Well don't mind my language if you watch the clip I've linked to in my Oct. 26 update.

2:24 am

negativeneil

It's not too bad there though. I behaved myself for that... mostly.

2:25 am

mrpresident

i loaded it... I have to close down my BE and restart it to get my pic to reload

2:25 am

negativeneil

You loaded what mrp?

2:26 am

dart001

her attempt to look like you neil lol

2:26 am

mrpresident

the pic is stretched !! looks like my boobies are huge!

2:26 am

negativeneil

Haha! I don't think she'd wanna do that.

2:26 am

negativeneil

I might aspire to look like her though... next time I decide to do "drag" for Halloween.

2:27 am

negativeneil

Wow mrp! *covers eyes*

2:28 am

negativeneil

dart? http://tinyurl.com/3qkdts8

2:28 am

dart001

hmmmrefreshed so i can see it in your icon..but when i click , still get the old one

2:29 am

negativeneil

Me too, dart... are you also using Google Chrome?

2:30 am

dart001

firefox...switched when they did the last update on IE...had to click the add for each word...doesn't work when you are flying at the start of the puzzle

2:31 am

Patxxx

Neil, Don't be sarcastic, it doesn't suit you!

2:31 am

negativeneil

Uh, yes it does. I'm sarcastic by nature.

2:32 am

Patxxx

Sarcastic isn't just being rude.

2:32 am

negativeneil

Read profile if you don't think so. ;) Or this:
http://tinyurl.com/3f7bk9e

2:32 am

negativeneil

I don't think sarcastic equates to rudeness.

2:33 am

negativeneil

Necessarily. And I don't think I'm a rude person... neither do any of my family or friends.

2:35 am

dart001

finally got it to work mrp......like it

2:35 am

negativeneil

How did you do that, dart?

2:35 am

negativeneil

I haven't succeeded yet.

2:35 am

dart001

had to close the browser...not just clear cache

2:36 am

negativeneil

Oh hey! I just opened her profile again and saw the cat with the melon rind hat... but then I right clicked and selected "reload" and there it is!

2:36 am

negativeneil

So that's what to do in future I guess?

2:37 am

negativeneil

You need to disguise yourself like that when you move, mrp. Of course then you may gain other stalkers... for different reasons.

2:37 am

dart001

she is probably deep in the grid

2:38 am

negativeneil

Yep. Did you get the link I gave you?

2:38 am

dart001

saw it...don't want to get frustrated at this time of night

2:39 am

negativeneil

Oh are you still working on the grid?

2:39 am

dart001

no, been done for an hour+

2:39 am

negativeneil

Yeah, I wondered.

2:40 am

dart001

was done by my first comment on here

2:40 am

negativeneil

I know you're pretty speedy.

2:40 am

negativeneil

That makes more sense.

2:40 am

dart001

cant hold a candle to you though

2:40 am

negativeneil

Don't know about that.

2:41 am

dart001

i type 2 finger style...thinking you don't

2:41 am

negativeneil

No of course I don't. I'm a journalist... I write for a living.

2:41 am

negativeneil

I took typing in high school and have touch-typed ever since.

2:42 am

negativeneil

But it's probably all down to typing speed then.

2:42 am

negativeneil

I've always played a lot of boggle type word games online... Word Racer mainly and now Letterblox too.

2:42 am

dart001

think you know a few more weird words too

2:43 am

debjed

good morning neil and dart! since you guys are done, maybe you could clue the m? thanks :)

2:43 am

negativeneil

Could be? Don't know. I have the advantage of knowing all of the Yiddish ones that crop up though.

2:43 am

dart001

me 4

2:43 am

negativeneil

And other Jewish-related words/terms.

2:43 am

negativeneil

Hi debjed.

2:43 am

dart001

sounds like the host of the tonight show with a diff first letter

2:44 am

debjed

thanks :)

2:45 am

negativeneil

And other weird words from the other online word games and puzzles... you learn a lot that way and one game helps improve the others.

2:46 am

dart001

can play letterblox for about 5 games....always see the same words and half the time you can't get into any rooms because it says that you are too high rated

2:47 am

negativeneil

Oh you're on OMGPOP too?

2:47 am

negativeneil

Same name as here?

2:47 am

dart001

and it is a typing speed game too...i used to mouse on tanglewords

2:47 am

negativeneil

Wow. I want to see how high rated you are on there?

2:47 am

negativeneil

or highly.

2:48 am

dart001

kind of like text twist

2:49 am

negativeneil

How do I find you on OMGPOP?

2:49 am

dart001

think same name as here....dont go very often

2:49 am

negativeneil

No, I just tried that... didn't work.

2:50 am

dart001

knock off a zero or two then

2:51 am

negativeneil

No. None of that has worked.

2:51 am

dart001

dart0 then

2:52 am

negativeneil

Got one for that name. You're at level 8?

2:52 am

negativeneil

And your status says "wasting time"?

2:52 am

Book Doctor Gwen

howdee all you who are up way too late

2:52 am

dart001

2:52 am

3:05 am

Book Doctor Gwen

3:06 am

Book Doctor Gwen

and furzle too, for that matter

3:08 am

rubyfoo

my sweet Ruby dog just had a big adventure. The sheep, working the field above us,m gotout of their barrier and Ruby got out of her leash and went after them

3:08 am

rubyfoo

too cute

3:08 am

rubyfoo

she didn't bark or anything but was VERY curious

3:10 am

Book Doctor Gwen

is this a sheepdog or a regular ol' mutt?

3:10 am

rubyfoo

she's a chow chow, could never be trained to be anything but nice

3:11 am

rubyfoo

they are notoriously independent, much like HUGE cats

3:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

so, a little bitty dog, then?

3:11 am

rubyfoo

little bitty 75 lbs

3:12 am

rubyfoo

purple tongue, black gums, Chinese

3:12 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hey, i can't lift 75 pounds! little bitty would be 20 pounds . . .

3:12 am

rubyfoo

lift? I can't even push her!

3:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

so, leash is pointless, eh? lol

3:15 am

rubyfoo

she wears the leash on her walks only because of cars

3:15 am

rubyfoo

but she couldn't be a nicer dog

3:15 am

rubyfoo

we've had 5 chow chows and she is the smartest and funniest one

3:16 am

rubyfoo

and she takes care of her autistic brother: opens doors for him, alerts me when he needs to go out

3:16 am

Book Doctor Gwen

my pet experience extends only to gerbils. they are maybe 5 ounces LOL

3:16 am

rubyfoo

<-- autistic Max

3:16 am

rubyfoo

kitty lunch!

3:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

max is a dog or a human?

3:18 am

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, yes, gerbils are snackable LOL

3:18 am

rubyfoo

max is a black chow, pictured here

3:18 am

rubyfoo

I had gerbils when my son was little and the cat used to sit on top of their cage, licking her lips

3:19 am

rubyfoo

(do cats have lips?)

3:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i have never eaten a gerbil but i'll bet they taste just like chicken (joke!)

3:19 am

rubyfoo

doesn't everything? NOT!

3:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

sure cats have lips . . . it's the chickens who don't

3:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, i ckicked on your icon, now i see that it's a dog. (so small in this chat room i thought it was a treetrunk or something)

3:21 am

rubyfoo

he acts a little like a tree trunk or a bag of coal

3:21 am

rubyfoo

except in his "connected" moments

3:21 am

rubyfoo

but he's a sweet boy

3:22 am

rubyfoo

just too inbred

3:24 am

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i'm gettin' sleepy finally, gonna try going to bed now. it's going on 4:30 am for me here. night!

3:24 am

rubyfoo

Early Halloween trickery. : )

7:33 am

Anniebrook

Yes, I think so

7:36 am

suefrad625

negro isnt a word?

7:39 am

suefrad625

hello?

7:40 am

MollyL

Enable must consider it a proper noun

7:40 am

suefrad625

I hope so, because I have had to type a lot of gross words in this grid

7:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

There are all sorts of proper nouns- ge5 for instance.

7:41 am

suefrad625

I think the cu4 is also gross

7:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

but we all know how treacherous Enable can be.

7:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

you mean co?

7:41 am

suefrad625

no, cunt, oh gross

7:42 am

suefrad625

and many other offensive words

7:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

I thought you meant in this grid.

7:42 am

suefrad625

no

7:42 am

suefrad625

what the ge5, types of lets say music?

7:43 am

Anniebrook

the hawaiian bird is here

7:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

I though it was a town in Italy, but apparently it is a jib for racing yachts.

7:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

thou.ght

7:44 am

suefrad625

I thought it a type of salami

7:44 am

MollyL

Also, salami

7:44 am

Ah, obviously Sue owns a racing yacht.

7:45 am

Riverdance

my chat response is very slowwww today

7:46 am

suefrad625

we cant get rid of words like Nigger, negro, etc because they mean something. It is like getting rid of the Holocaust because it makes people uncomfortable. Human did horrible things and if we dont remember, we repeat

7:46 am

suefrad625

yes kaplan, I keep it in my bathtub for long afternoon fun

7:47 am

Riverdance

lol sue

Y'all are so helpful! Ty...

Notice that Babblers first identify with the food definition. Then may or may not discover others.

speaking of beans - we came home with groceries from Trader Joe's the other day, and I decided to organize the freezer a bit - Frank had bought a couple of bags of edamame as they are a form of carbohydrate that he can eat

8:10 am

Mom

11:18 am

I've been on here plenty of times and no one has complained.

11:19 am

largeicon pics can often cause chat lag trentsnana

11:19 am

m9f9l

it's a beautiful pic though! :-)

11:22 am

MollyL

Hi TNana. I didn't know you had a big one. : P

11:28 am

trentsnana

Okay, I changed it, but it's still showing the other one.

11:43 am

m9f9l

rolin also has a large icon (not falling into THAT one again!LOL)

11:43 am

m9f9l

that's probably why the chog messed up.. compounded issues

11:44 am

Jeff7

ty

11:45 am

jmcnrick

is rolin on?

11:46 am

MollyL

I don't get it. Do people not check their profile when they add a picture? Or do they not know that there is a size limit?

11:46 am

trentsnana

I guess I didn't - sorry.

11:46 am

crosshair

many do not know of the size limit or are not usedtoresizing pictures molly

11:46 am

crosshair

darn space bar

11:47 am

crosshair

done it myself at one time

11:47 am

jmcnrick

but i thought the large pic only mattered if you participated in the chog

11:47 am

trentsnana

I guess I am guilty of that, crossy.

11:47 am

MollyL

Well, if this place EVER gets upgraded, there should be a size limit placed so that over sized pictures can't be posted.

11:48 am

crosshair

hehe,my mrs had a pic uponce that crashed the entire choglol

11:48 am

trentsnana

I guess not because I wasn't chatting many times I've been on, including today.

11:48 am

crosshair

i had to hustle to fix that one

11:48 am

jmcnrick

that is such a good idea molls you really should email it to dr god

11:48 am

m9f9l

well if large pics are causing issue, it must just be if online??

11:48 am

trentsnana

That would help, Molly. I put it on there and everyone was saying how beautiful it was. No one mentioned how huge it was and I didn't realize it.

11:48 am

jmcnrick

goodness crossy that must have been some pic

11:49 am

crosshair

it not a massive deal trents nana,and it was a really pretty pic

11:49 am

trentsnana

I will pay attention from now on!

11:49 am

MollyL

Most internet message boards and chat forums have size limitations on graphics and will not allow you to post one over a certain size.

11:49 am

trentsnana

It's fixed now.

11:49 am

So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door,
She was there to sell make up but the father saw more,
She had style, she had flair, she was there,
That's how she became the Nanny.

Yeah, that's what we've been discussing here, sue--cosmology.

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My brain is cold dark matter.

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's cold and dark. What's the matter?

4:58 pm

Glantarell

we've noticed, kap

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

thank you.

4:59 pm

Glantarell

My brain is cold and dark but doesn;t matter

5:01 pm

uusue2

holy crap, Texas has just eliminated physics degree programs at Texas Southern and Prairie View A&M - both historically black universities. Not a smart move IMHO.

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

why?

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I mean why did they do that?

5:02 pm

Glantarell

This week, the University of Wales imploded

5:02 pm

Glantarell

and is no more

5:02 pm

Glantarell

but has reinvented itself with a new name

5:02 pm

uusue2

not enough graduates, kap

5:03 pm

Glantarell

wouldn't it be more positive to recruit more students rather than close the programme

5:03 pm

uusue2

exactly what I was going to say, glant!

5:03 pm

Glantarell

is it an issue of colour?

5:03 pm

uusue2

especially since I think we need more science and technology graduates, not fewer, if we are going to stay competitive

5:04 pm

Glantarell

don't we all...

5:04 pm

uusue2

only secondarily; the fraction of physics students who are black is tiny, so if you are going to cut tiny programs, those are the ones that get cut

5:04 pm

Glantarell

sciences have been less popular in our schools for about 20 years than arts, and this has had a knock on effect on univerities

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ya think?

5:05 pm

car.eeyore

I can't see the ce 4/6...clue please?

5:05 pm

MollyL

If they don't do something about the rising cost of college education, universities are going to start facing closure.

5:05 pm

Glantarell

heard an interesting radio programme this week about a lady (whose name I can;t remember) who pretty much discovered pulsars or quasars

5:06 pm

uusue2

Ignore me, clued the wrong ce

5:06 pm

Glantarell

she was saying that she put up with all sorts of stuff because when she went into physics/astonomy she was the only woman and it was 'put up or shut up'

5:06 pm

uusue2

that's ok, molly, I needed that one too

5:07 pm

Cathyar

ce4/6 and egg dish, but remove a consonant

5:07 pm

car.eeyore

It isn't easy for me to monkey! I can't find it!

5:07 pm

uusue2

5:07 pm

Cathyar

sec...

9:42 pm

mrpresident

Sorry, currently our video library can only be watched from within the United States

Hulu is committed to making its content available worldwide. To do so, we must work through a number of legal and business issues, including obtaining international streaming rights. Know that we are working to make this happen and will continue to do so. Given the international background of the Hulu team, we have both a professional and personal interest in bringing Hulu to a global audience.

If you'd like, please leave us your email address and the country in which you live, and we will email you when our videos are available in your area.

9:44 pm

9:46 pm

Minveryork

Hopefully new owners will also love them just as much as you do.So sorry to hear that you had to give'em up

9:46 pm

uusue2

Visiting team is the top

9:46 pm

crosshair

nooks also min..but the nook has a more open file format so that is why i own one

9:47 pm

uusue2

Home team plays the bottom innings

9:47 pm

crosshair

my wife has a sony ready cause it works internationally,and the kobo reader is also a good choice now

9:47 pm

Minveryork

What does that mean? You can do more with a nook?

9:48 pm

Minveryork

I have just heard of kindles and nooks, not other two

9:49 pm

Minveryork

Can U also babble on any of these technology readers

9:49 pm

crosshair

on my nook i have just gone over 150 books on board.i cannot live without it now.it is an etire library in my pocket.it hold my work files,my home billing files and about 100 family pictures and 200 or so songs

9:49 pm

crosshair

min there are various file formats...

9:49 pm

mrpresident

sue... is this a deciding game for the world series?

9:49 pm

crosshair

kindles uses a proprietary format..which means you can only buy or download books from the amazon site...

9:49 pm

uusue2

Yes, mrp

9:50 pm

uusue2

Best of seven and they have each won three

9:50 pm

Minveryork

I don't know why I am asking all these questions. It is not like I'll be getting one any time soon, wish though

9:50 pm

crosshair

other readers like the nook,sony readers and kobo reader can take various file formats including the file format called E-pub which is used by nall lending libraries

9:51 pm

mrpresident

i have been going for the Rangers

9:51 pm

Minveryork

Maybe in my next life I will have an iPhone and a nook

9:51 pm

crosshair

min..i would give up my t.v cable and phone before i gave up my reader

9:51 pm

uusue2

Frank doesn't like rhe rangers because they used to be owned by George bush

9:52 pm

mrpresident

but Hamilton is a hottie on that team!

9:52 pm

uusue2

And st louis is sort of close to us

9:53 pm

mrpresident

is texas closer to us?

9:53 pm

uusue2

Ah, I haven't been looking for hottest although I am partial to beards

9:54 pm

uusue2

I think so, mrp, as it is further south and west

9:56 pm

Minveryork

I could give up my phone. Not so sure about my cable.

9:56 pm

mrpresident

ok, and i like the pitching of the rangers

9:58 pm

uusue2

Except for the relief pitcher who hit a batter on his first pitch and walked in a run...

9:59 pm

mrpresident

you see, i am lost to the rules of the game! i know there are strikes and no ball scored

10:00 pm

mrpresident

i am learning though, it is much better than the crap game of cricket that is played in this country... it is just soooooo boring!

10:00 pm

mrpresident

and baseball is beginning to come to Australia, professional that is.

10:00 pm

mrpresident

isn't josh hamilton cute!!? see?

10:00 pm

uusue2

There are a lot of subtleties to it

10:01 pm

Bugsaw

baseball is fun mrp. everyone can play even if you only have enought people for one team and an extra

10:01 pm

mrpresident

so... if you hit the ball, you have to run??

10:02 pm

uusue2

Yes, you have to touch the base

10:02 pm

uusue2

And then go around in order

10:02 pm

uusue2

But if the ball gets there before you do then you are out

10:03 pm

Bugsaw

if you hit the ball you run to the next base and try to get there before the man on the base catches the ball. lots of good races

10:03 pm

uusue2

And if the ball is caught before it hits the ground you are out

10:03 pm

mrpresident

ok, cause if you hit the ball in cricket, you don't have to run

10:04 pm

Bugsaw

and people who started running because the ball was hit, have to turn around and get back to where they were if it was caught outright

10:04 pm

mrpresident

my God the crowds are huge!!! there must be over 100,000 people there!

10:04 pm

uusue2

More like 50,000 I think

10:04 pm

mrpresident

ok, so reading the rules would help me?

10:05 pm

uusue2

Probably, mrp, but also seeing them in action

10:05 pm

mrpresident

I also notice there are lines around the field... if the ball is hit outside of the line, it is a walk??

10:06 pm

uusue2

No, then it is foul and not in play

10:06 pm

mrpresident

and can it be caught on the full outside the line of the field?

10:06 pm

uusue2

Yes even if it is foul you are out if it is caught in the air

10:06 pm

wht

Yes, if a foul ball is caught on the fly it is an out.

10:06 pm

joey

this is so eyeopening for me. I live and breathe baseball, just got hit with the fact that it is not a universal game. thanks for opening my eyes

10:07 pm

mrpresident

ah! ok... getting to understand a little more

10:07 pm

Bugsaw

it would be in the stands then and it is called a home run. you get to run all around and score a point.

10:07 pm

mrpresident

so hitting the ball as hard as possible is the aim, get it to the stands??

10:07 pm

Bugsaw

hoem runs are the best, expecially if the bases are loaded which means there is a man on each of the bases

10:08 pm

uusue2

Balls and strikes refer to where the ball goes over the plate

10:08 pm

wht

Joey, I had that realization when my son first joined Little League. Kids would hit the ball and you had to tell them to run to first base and tell them which base it was.

10:08 pm

mrpresident

joey, i only just started to watch it cause someone here on babble got me interested in taking a look at it.... now I am slightly addicted and want to know about the game.

10:09 pm

uusue2

It has to be over the plate and between knees and shoulders in height to be a strike

10:09 pm

mrpresident

My son wants to play baseball, so I thought I also better have a look at it... it is called little league baseball here I think

10:09 pm

wht

Sometimes it is better to not hit the ball so hard but to a place where the fielders can't get to it.

10:09 pm

uusue2

Otherwise it is a ball

10:09 pm

joey

mrp, it is an interesting game, fun to watch. Takes your mind off of a multitude of problems, at least for a while. just be aware - tonight is the last game until April

10:10 pm

uusue2

If three strikes go by you are out

10:10 pm

mrpresident

the cardinals keep catching the balls that are being hit... not so good for the rangers

10:10 pm

Bugsaw

wht you also have to tell them to stop at first base. I remember all the adults rolling in laughter when the 5 year old all headed out to the far end of the park

10:10 pm

joey

you got it, mrp

10:10 pm

mrpresident

for real?? so I am watching THE final!

10:10 pm

uusue2

And if you swing and don't hit it is a strike no matter where it went

10:10 pm

joey

yes, this is it.

10:10 pm

wht

Well, actually Spring Training starts in February, but I doubt if you can find those games on Australian TV.

10:10 pm

Bugsaw

this is the biggest and last game of the season

10:11 pm

mrpresident

Australian season starts here next week bugs... will watch it

10:11 pm

uusue2

Yes the team that wins tonight is world champion

10:11 pm

Bugsaw

bet your son would love it. it is exciting but not rough

10:11 pm

uusue2

Where world is the us and canada of course

10:11 pm

joey

pitchers and catchers report in the middle of February, then position players about a week later, and then "practice" games run for about 30 days

10:11 pm

mrpresident

and how many teams were in the series to start with?

10:11 pm

wht

World Champion of the North American Leagues.

10:12 pm

mrpresident

so there are pitchers and batters?? not all players get to bat and pitch?

10:12 pm

uusue2

There are about 24 teams

10:12 pm

joey

8 teams go to the playoffs

10:13 pm

wht

There are two Leagues, the American League and the National League. The World Series is a 7 Game series between the champions of the two leagues.

10:13 pm

mrpresident

some are only fielders?

10:13 pm

mrpresident

ah! so this is a BIG GAME!

10:13 pm

uusue2

At the end of the regular season there are various rounds of playoffs

10:13 pm

joey

yes. they field and they bat and run the bases. the others pitch or catch and maybe bat and run.

10:14 pm

Bugsaw

by the time they get to the pros they all bat but only play one position on the field. Your son will get to play all positions until he finds the one he loves

10:14 pm

joey

this is a huge game

10:14 pm

wht

All players get to hit (except in the American League where the pitchers don't). Only pitchers pitch except in exceptional circumstances.

10:14 pm

uusue2

Ok, 30 teams total, 14 in one league and 26 in the other

10:14 pm

uusue2

Oops 16 in the other

10:17 pm

mrpresident

in cricket... all players have to bat to the last man out, then the game is over... that is in the test series.
In 20/20, all players get the chance to bat until they reach the end of 20 overs (6 balls an over) and who ever got the most runs is the winner in both the test series and 20/20

10:18 pm

mrpresident

cricket is baseball on valium

10:18 pm

uusue2

I knew I didn't understand cricket

10:18 pm

joey

two teams are playing right, mrp?

10:19 pm

mrpresident

and they only have about 5 bowlers per team.
Yes, two teams play

10:19 pm

uusue2

In baseball each team gets three outs, then the other team is up

10:19 pm

uusue2

Each set like that is an inning

10:20 pm

uusue2

A game is nine innings

10:20 pm

mrpresident

ok... diff to cricket... the whole team plays to the end of the overs or until last man is bowled out... then the teams swap

10:20 pm

uusue2

Unless they are tied at the end, then they keep playing until someone wins

10:21 pm

mrpresident

so an inning has how many balls pitched??

10:21 pm

uusue2

I see how that would make baseball a faster game

10:22 pm

uusue2

Could be a lot or a few, just depends on how long it takes to get three outs

10:22 pm

mrpresident

ah! no matter how many then

10:23 pm

mrpresident

looks like the cardinals won!!

10:23 pm

uusue2

And st louis wins!

10:23 pm

mrpresident

well, that was most exciting!! and thanks for helping me understand the game girls and boys!

10:24 pm

wht

So each batter is up until they get 3 strikes, 4 balls, or hit safely. A foul ball is a strike unless the batter already has 2 strikes. Then a foul ball is just a do over, unless it is caught. So a batter can still be up for 11 or 12 pitches if they foul off a lot of balls.

10:24 pm

uusue2

So what you should do is come over here next spring, mrp, well go to a few games and I will explain it all to you . :-)

10:25 pm

mrpresident

sounds like a plan!

10:25 pm

uusue2

Chicago has two professional teams

10:26 pm

uusue2

If you count the cubs, that is (they have not won a world series since 1908)

10:27 pm

joey

Cubs won a world series?

10:28 pm

uusue2

They were the first team ever to.win two.in a row

10:28 pm

uusue2

1907 and 1908

10:28 pm

joey

thanks, I really didn't know that

10:28 pm

mrpresident

they must get paid a fair bit!! The crowds are huge so the income would be massive for the teams!

10:28 pm

uusue2

Haven't won one since

10:29 pm

uusue2

Many millions, mrp

10:29 pm

lbdawger

used to be that baseball was the lowliest paid sport. now they are right up there with the football and basketball players.

10:29 pm

joey

they do, Mrp. The one batter for St Louis will probably command more than 18 = 25 million dollars for a year

10:29 pm

mrpresident

same as soccer players.... huge crowds and supporters pay those players huge money!

10:30 pm

lbdawger

must get going, have to be on the road to Colorado in the morning. hope to be able to do the grid, but may not have access. :-( be good everyone!

10:30 pm

mrpresident

holy cow! and then they would get commercial money on top of that... sponsorship etc

10:31 pm

uusue2

Bye, lbd

10:31 pm

Bugsaw

mrpresident

10:33 pm

mrpresident

10:35 pm

Bugsaw

can anyone clue the pe7 please?

10:37 pm

Jacula

Hi all. I'm up so late (4.31am) because I only got back from a week's holiday in North Devon (UK) just before midnight, did the essential unpacking (stuff to go in the fridge), then my daughter arrived to see me before she goes back to her new(ish) temporary home in Romania and brought me lots more stuff to put in the fridge. She's been here for 10 days trying to clear her house here out. Then she, myself and her brother engaged in one of our political, social and put the world to rights conversations that we've all three missed, but especially her. She could have such conversations when she was living in Oz., but not so much in Romania. I'm just winding down a bit now and still doing the odd bit of unpacking - the rest and all the washing to be done will be done later, after I've slept.

10:37 pm

joey

bugsaw, add an ending to the verb before

10:37 pm

Jacula

Bug - Hello. pe7 is a type of fudge.

10:37 pm

uusue2

Hi, jac!

10:38 pm

joey

10:39 pm

Jacula

I whizzed through Babble at about 2.30am because I'd done it all on paper earlier when in Devon. (Beloved can get the grid up on his Blackberry.) The one word I hadn't found was gh6.27. Never seen it before but I know what it means now!

10:39 pm

Jacula

Hi sue.

10:39 pm

10:42 pm

Bugsaw

pl6 sounds like what you sit on at the park

10:42 pm

Minveryork

pl 6/27 word rhymes with what you sit on at the park

10:43 pm

Jacula
