1:45 am
m9f9l
He was in the navy when I was born
1:45 am
rururocks
oh you were the youngest
1:45 am
m9f9l
and when he got out, he lived in Guam for a while.. and then St. Johns
1:46 am
m9f9l
I remember meeting him though.
1:46 am
m9f9l
yup. and he was the oldest
1:46 am
m9f9l
he crashed his plane when I was in 7th grade.
1:46 am
m9f9l
So I was about 12.
1:46 am

1:47 am

My Mom didn't think the 9 of us had ever all been in one place at one time.. but my aunt found a pic. I was a few months old.. My oldest brother was home for a leave, and my 2nd oldest was about to go into the Navy.

1:51 am
skheiny
you must have reserves of energy hiding somwhere M9! where are they hiding!
1:52 am
m9f9l
After all.. I have one brother that won't even say "mom" or even her name. Just calls her "she" or "that woman" LOL
1:52 am
skheiny
oh sorry right, sainthood is for the departed...OK...seeing into the future
1:52 am

1:53 am

But she was pretty amazing in her own ways.
1:54 am
skheiny
well, goodness its hard to be family, let alone friends AND family...can't even figure the odds of that LOL
1:54 am
m9f9l
Do I want her Ru?
1:54 am
rururocks
I don't think so
1:54 am
m9f9l
Ok. nvm then.. I'll just soldier on.
1:55 am
rururocks
good thinking
1:55 am
m9f9l
Hopefully, I'm a good mom to mine. My oldest just came home for THanksgiving so that's a good sign..
1:55 am
m9f9l
oh!! And I got pics of my grandbelly!
1:55 am
rururocks
that's a great sign... I've not spoken to mine since 1986

the story of the werty keyboard is kind of funny I think.,
2:17 am
skheiny
dyslexic person?
2:18 am
skheiny
oh...but that's not funny
2:19 am
m9f9l
or rather the qwerty.
2:19 am
skheiny
ok M9 you have to give she Cliff Notes on qwerty keyboards
2:20 am
m9f9l
The inventor was trying to put letters that occur next to each other at a distance from each other so that the keys wouldnt' jam as often.
2:23 am
rbud
so now that there are no real manual typewriters anymore (much) - I'm surprised someone hasn't renovated the keyboard, like straight thru from A to Z, perhaps... kids would probably be able to learn it easier?
2:25 am
m9f9l
Well, Sholes first typewriter WAS alphabetical. And then because of jamming, he designed the keyboard we use now. A man named Dvorak designed one that supposedly is more efficient.. but no testing shows a great improvement.
2:25 am
skheiny
smells like and engineer...hmmm...I'm married to one of those...ROFL
2:26 am
m9f9l
engineers are cool :-) (not that I've ever actually had a JOB with my engineering degree!LOL)
2:28 am
skheiny
totally cool...but...occasionally in left field ;)
2:29 am
m9f9l
So if you have an engineering degree..and have passed the EIT (they call it something else now) but have never had an engineering job.. can you still call yourself an engineer I wonder?
2:30 am
rbud
why not, I have a double environmental science and conservation degree, but have really never put it to use, but I'd like to delude myself that I am an environmental scientist, haha! ;p
2:31 am
m9f9l
well there ya go then! LOL
2:32 am
m9f9l
it sure seems a lifetime ago though
2:33 am

me too, graduated in 85, though I started college in 75... took a few years off to "see the world" and "find myself", as they say.
2:33 am
m9f9l
nice. I actually have 2 bs degrees.. I'm full of bs!LOL
2:34 am

I got my engineering bs in Montana!
2:40 am

you know, I originally started out studying electronics and computers, I laugh today remembering one class where we had to keypunch huge decks of cards, take them to a big central computer, get a printout, rewrite programming errors, repunch the cards... things have sure come a long way.
2:49 am
m9f9l
yeah.. my brother was still doing cards when I was in junior high.
2:49 am
m9f9l
and by the time I got to college, it wasn't like that at all
2:50 am
rbud
sometimes I wonder if I'd be a rich computer mogul if I'd stuck with that, but... roads not taken. :P
2:50 am
m9f9l
I remember the paper coming out on these big pages though. hole-fed with pale green and white alternating feilds.
2:51 am
m9f9l
exactly. As my hubby says "put your past in your behind." LOL
2:52 am
rbud
oh, that paper - I had so much of it around!
2:54 am
rbud
in fact I think I still have some - one program I wrote and stuck in a big scrapbook I used to keep.
2:54 am
m9f9l
yeah.. I used to take the little strips from the sides and tie my hair back with it!
2:54 am
m9f9l
I'm sure I have some somewhere with programming on it.
2:56 am
scouser
it used to go by the posh name of punched fan-fold (and sometimes appended manuscript or music stave).
2:56 am

lotta dead trees!
2:58 am

yes. one very windy day a lot of it got put in a skip outside work, whence it peeled off and went 500 yds down the street each piece headed **** po**ce pay**** !

Bich, to dream that you are giving birth signifies new beginnings in your life. A new project, a new relationship, perhaps a new idea of yours that is about to occur to you. It can also signify the potential for inner growth and rebirth.

Trifioso
wow, look how close your name is erda!
9:29 am

name that people: confusing spellers, awesome builders and astronomes.

as long as the word is in the grid, yes

Trifioso
well, now you have stumped me, sprite!
9:31 am
Trifioso
Lilliputians?
9:31 am
sprite
oh I know that artist! His work, I mean. Just never knew the name. Awesome, Trif.
9:31 am
vanillaslice
erte 1892 - 1990 he got to be 98 must have ate his broccoli
9:31 am
Trifioso
I am sticking with Lilliputians
9:31 am
MollyL
Um Trif, I don't think Lilliputians are in the grid. : )
9:31 am
Trifioso
No, but they are awesome builders!
9:32 am
sprite
lol Trif, ok, for a phantom that is pretty... phantomy!
9:32 am
Trifioso
given that we have no Ls today, yes....borrowing a page from BR there for a second
9:33 am
sprite
I miss BR. Must be an extra tough time for him. I could really do with the phantom of the day, some brilliant clues and a couple of very nice puns. I hope you're as well as you can be, BR, and I am thinking of you.
9:36 am
Trifioso
I miss him too...don't know much about him personally, but how I do miss his wicked, sly wit and awesome clues
9:37 am
sprite
same. here goes a shared brainwave straight to BR :)
9:37 am
Flask1
Hi Sprite, is BR unwell?
9:38 am
vanillaslice
time for the haystack have agood day/night ev1
9:38 am
sprite
hi Flask, all I know is that he always struggles with severe depression and such. Some periods of time are harder than others. I always feel that if he doesn't chat at all here, things must be bad.
9:38 am
MollyL
I don't get why people keep saying they miss BR. He's still around.
9:39 am
sprite
night vanilla, I already found the needle so you can sleep easily.
9:39 am
vanillaslice
thats comforting thanks
9:39 am
sprite
I haven't seen him in chog in ages, Molly, but of course I just may have missed him every time.
9:42 am
Flask1
same here Sprite....depression is such a terrible thing.....when he's here he's a big character and therefore is easily missed when absent!
9:42 am
Flask1
Hope he's back soon!
9:43 am
sprite
depression is a bitch, pardon my french. I am grateful for babble and my babble friends.
9:44 am
sprite
well, if he is still chattting, I take it as a good sign. Thanks Molly. And then I hope I will run into him in chog soon.
9:44 am
MollyL
The most disturbing thing about depression is that it is not taken seriously by many, especially the loved ones of those who suffer from it.
9:44 am
Trifioso
amen molly, amen
9:44 am
sprite
so very true. I am blessed in that my love takes it very seriously and does what he can to help me. But I know many people are not that lucky.
9:44 am
Flask1
same here.....however I do feel the need to checkout for long periods of time now and then.....just to rest my mind .....
9:46 am
sprite
a bit of peace for the mind is so important. For me, babble is often just that little bit easier to reach out to, than picking up a phone and calling a friend. Babble keeps me connected when I don't connect to anything or anyone.
9:46 am
Trifioso
speaking of checking out....just realized it's about time for my meds.....
9:46 am
sprite
go take them, Triffles. Balance is everything. *hug*
9:50 am
MollyL
Hey, they don't call him "Dr." God for nothing. : )
9:50 am
sprite
lol... that must be the reason
9:52 am
MollyL
This place has the amazing combination of intellectual stimulation (the game) and socialization (the chat) that is therapeutic for many.
9:53 am
uusue2
<--- popping in for some brief therapy before going out
9:53 am
sprite
indeed. I always find that the focusing on the game lessens my panic, and chatting lessens the solitude. When I am done, I simply feel better.
9:54 am
sprite
hiya uusue :)
9:54 am
uusue2
and I second what everyone said - this has been a very stressful year for me, and having Babble to vent to has meant more to me than I can say
9:54 am
Flask1
I am the complete opposite....I love solitude when my depression kicks in.....
9:55 am
sprite
(((uusue)))
9:55 am
MollyL
Sue, you are overdue for a some peace in your life.
9:55 am
sprite
I love it too much, Flask... I have trouble connecting and Babble helps me to not close off completely.
9:56 am
uusue2
I don't believe in cosmic coincidences, but I returned to Babble last January just before my dad broke his leg.
9:56 am
Flask1
I understand too Sprite!
9:56 am
sprite
I know you do, Flask... we both have been there and done that :)
9:56 am
MollyL
I believe in cosmic coincidences.
9:57 am
uusue2
and yes, I am like sprite - I had maybe one really dark day when I spent the whole time under the covers, but other than that it is comforting to have you all there
9:57 am
sprite
I am glad you did, uusue. And I really hope you will have lots of quiet and peace in the year to come. As Molly says, it is about time.
9:58 am
Flask1
Ok I have 6 words left to find, then am gonna checkout and watch some telly!
9:58 am
uusue2
It is indeed. Well, perhaps next year will be the time when all this year's messes get sorted out.
9:58 am
sprite
good job, Flask!
9:58 am
uusue2
and I am off - be back later! in the meantime, take care of yourselves!
9:59 am
sprite
bye uusue, have a good day.
9:59 am
Trifioso
hello again. I found babble right after mr hate left me, and, while there was definitely a period where I overshared and alienated people, it was a life saver. As you so wisely said, sprite, balance is key
9:59 am
Trifioso
and there is something cheering about finishing a grid, or even hitting nbt and half way, as is usually the case with me
10:00 am
sprite
as far as I am concerned, you never lost that balance, Trif. There is always room for other people with you, it is not just you you you. I love to see you in chog.
10:00 am
Flask1
you're right there Trif!
10:01 am
MollyL
It is my humble belief that we must welcome good things into our lives. Literally, hang a WELCOME sign in your thoughts to goodness and abundance. Where they are welcome, they will enter.
10:01 am
Trifioso
well, thanks sprite, but rest assured there are some that would be glad to see less of me, just like in real life.
10:01 am
sprite
lol yes that is true. A babble triumph is very uplifting.
10:01 am
MollyL
<---NOT part of those "some"
10:01 am
sprite
I am right with you, Molly. That is the only way. Tough to do, sometimes, but the only way.
10:02 am
sprite
Trif, I'd say, let them. We can never please all. Nor should we want to.
10:02 am
Trifioso
secondo has just awoken...please excuse me
10:02 am
sprite
phantom: defect
10:03 am
MollyL
It's funny, there are a lot of people who "over share" here. I have never thought of Trif as one of them.
10:03 am
sprite
me neither, not at all.
10:03 am
Flask1
overshare????
10:05 am
sprite
yeah, as in drowning the chog in your personal affairs in such a magnitude that it takes over.
10:08 am
sprite
some people have trouble with too much personal info, and others don't. So what one calls sharing, another may call oversharing.
10:09 am
Flask1
ah...ok, now I get it! I haven't noticed Trif at all hogging the chat in any way, never entered my head!
However, there is one person who is extremely gulty of it, to the extent that I doubt whether all that is said is true...however, the problem is hers!.....I just stay out of chat completely when she is on.....
10:10 am
MollyL
I have always found it amazing how much support and good wishes are generated by this community when a member is struggling.
10:10 am
flosey
good morning everyone
10:11 am
Flask1
Hi flosey!
10:11 am
sprite
I know what you mean, Flask. But Babble is indeed a good place. There is a lot of support for those who struggle, and there is a lot of fun to be had too.
10:11 am
sprite
morning flosey.
10:11 am
MollyL
I do the same thing Flask. When it gets tedious listening to someone go on and on and on, I just check out of chat. Best thing to do.
10:11 am
flosey
I agree Molly, it can be very uplifting to see how babblers rally round when a fellow babbler has a problem
10:11 am
MollyL
Hi Flosey
10:11 am
Flask1
Very true Sprite....sometimes there is such a lot of humour in here....
10:12 am
bichon
I agree. When we had the three day blackout here, it was too quiet around the house
10:12 am
sprite
another aspect of babble chog that I appreciate more than I can tell :)
10:13 am
Flask1
am now down to 5 words....lol
10:13 am
MollyL
Some people don't get a lot of support from their real life people. And because of that, a kind word in Babble chat can go a long way.
10:13 am

Flask, two rhyming syllables, for the pe5. Meaning a tiny male organ or weak person.

Oh go ahead and try that clue Ruru. I have already been told in no uncertain terms that those in other countries have never heard of him.
10:26 am

10:31 am
sprite
lol... when I started a new job, the 'boys' there thought they needed to 'test' me... whether I could work with them or not... and one of them stood close to my desk and put his pe5 on top. I looked over and told him: "If that is all you have to show, please put it away before it gets lost here."
10:31 am
rururocks
wonders if you can go to school for that
10:32 am
sprite
of course, you go to the tinyversity for that
10:32 am
rururocks

10:33 am

10:35 am

yeah, he was a jerk. He never got over my answer and hated me forever :)
Lol, yes flosey, he was a bad example.

morning, Jes! hi everyone!
12:15 pm
lbdawger
it's been ages since i've roasted a turkey...so i bought half a breast and one hind quarter...any ideas on how long to roast them?
12:15 pm
jesdraggon
hi dawg :)
12:16 pm
jesdraggon
i uh. i don't roast turkey. I put it in the crockpot with mike's hard lemonade (or cranberry). Takes several hours, depending on how much turkey you have.
12:16 pm
jesdraggon
I usually toss it in and then leave to do something, and it's dinner when I get back. :)
12:17 pm
lbdawger
i guess i should see how much turkey i bought! lol all this cuz i wanted to make turkey soup! but a couple turkey dinners wont be too bad.
12:18 pm
jesdraggon
I'd put it in the crockpot now and plan on dinner at 5 ish, depending on how hot your crock pot is. unless it's frozen. then it'd be tomorrow dinner in a crockpot.
12:18 pm
jesdraggon
or tomorrow lunch, i guess, but leaving it in longer doesn't hurt as long as it doesn't run out of liquid
12:19 pm
lbdawger
my crockpot isn't big enough for all of this meat. but i'll definitely try your process with chicken. sounds good!
12:19 pm
jesdraggon
how much turkey do you have?
12:21 pm
jesdraggon
bruce says you need a thermometer, not a timer. put it in and when it's 150F take it out and let it rest (covered, loosely) for 15 - 30 minutes. The temp will keep coming up after you take it out of the oven, should top out at a bit over 160-165F.
12:23 pm
jesdraggon
then he said if you really wanna do it really well, you should roast the hind quarter separately because "goodness" is achieved at different temperatures for white and dark meat.
12:25 pm
lbdawger
thank bruce for his wisdom. i was thinking about doing the two parts separetly.
12:26 pm
jesdraggon
he thinks that's the way to go.
12:27 pm
jesdraggon
time depends on how much turkey you have, whether it's frozen or thawed, how big your oven is, etc
12:45 pm
jesdraggon
stats on the lonely c in the corner for nbt?
12:45 pm
jesdraggon
er. nm. that was way too fishy to believe.
12:46 pm
lbdawger
lol, sorry got distracted with menu.
12:46 pm
jesdraggon
no worries. i've got nbt and past half way and i think we're heading to town shortly, so i won't be around for a while.
12:47 pm
lbdawger
going to go see how much bird i've got and work out the times so both parts will be done for dinner tonight.

i am just never here these days jilli....I have ti go shortly and work on another essay..I wrote 19 mini essays yeaterday plus a "short" 2500 word essay yesterday
4:28 pm
jillibus
I wondered, carlee -- hadn't seen you in ages. That's quite a lot of writing!
4:29 pm
carleekat
( I had short 500 word essays for all my teachers college applications to do yesterday )
4:29 pm
carleekat
and my essay from hell ( hated it..still not "done" gotta polish it tonight
4:29 pm
Minveryork
I did a lot of work yesterday too.I had to plan for my after school program. I did about 8 hours of planning for 2 days of after school program. It's so much work
4:30 pm
uusue2
ok, carlee, don't have an exact number but it should be around 1 atmosphere (gauge pressure, that is, over normal atmospheric pressure)
4:30 pm
carleekat
thanks sue
4:30 pm
Minveryork
Of course I planned more than 2 days worth of work.
4:31 pm
carleekat
I was going to call one of the companies tomorrow and see if they have a number
4:31 pm
Minveryork
I think it is better to plan too much than not enough.
4:31 pm
uusue2
probably woulnd't be a bad idea, carlee, they should be able to give you a more precise number
4:31 pm
welki
internet searches don't reveal the answer, car?
4:31 pm
carleekat
I am hoping the math works with P1V1=P2V2 and a whipped cream cannister for my one minute moment
4:32 pm
carleekat
no welki they didnt
4:32 pm
carleekat
i figure in one minute I shoul dbe able to discharge a can and talk about the theoretical and actual V2 in a bowl that is at the same temp as the cream
4:32 pm
uusue2
depends on whether it's liquid or compressed gas in the canister, carlee, I would guess liquid although I don't know
4:33 pm
uusue2
but even if it's not quanititave, showing that the whipped cream has a lot more volume than you can fit in the canister should be good
4:34 pm
carleekat
( worse comes to worse..its called fudge it a bit)
4:34 pm
carleekat
its usually NO2 gas
4:35 pm
welki
no answer here, but what a neat article! the physics of whipped cream: http://tinyurl.com/723cto3
4:35 pm
uusue2
I know the propellant is a gas, carlee, but the cream is presumably liquid
4:35 pm
carleekat
yea..i read that welki
4:35 pm
carleekat
yea...it is
4:36 pm
carleekat
u can feel is slosh about in the can
4:36 pm

Nef
Hi Everybody. How are you all doing today?
4:50 pm
Minveryork
Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.
4:52 pm
Nef
(((sue))) I just read your profile. I'm so sorry for your father's loss and yours
4:52 pm
uusue2
thanks, nef, it has been a strange year
4:53 pm
Nef
Hi Min and Molly. Our grandson has been here the past 4 days and they just left. Poor kid, did not want to go home (his mom is a little "off" right now again.
4:54 pm
MollyL
Blessings to his Mom, Nef. I know that must be hard on him.
4:54 pm
Nef
it has indeed been a strange year for you sue. How is your Dad doing with the news?
4:56 pm
uusue2
he is doing ok so far, nef, but I only just told him
4:57 pm
Nef
And thanks, Molly. I feel helpless at times because she shuts us out when she starts having issues. Her mother is part of the reason she's having problems: her Mom wants her to go home for the holidays and the home situation is part of why she's emotionally unstable...
4:58 pm
cosdem
anyonehave the de5/20?
4:59 pm
MollyL
The non upper kind of coffee Cos
4:59 pm
Nef
hey, cos. I DID watch the WHOLE Thanksgiving parade this year; "just for you!" ;-)
5:00 pm
cosdem

5:00 pm
uusue2
hi, cos! Your lucky number is the same as mine :-)
5:00 pm
cosdem
oh nice sue :)
5:00 pm
cosdem
im sorry for your loss, sue.
5:00 pm
MollyL
Nef, it's a shame that sometimes, family members hurt more than they help. I'm glad she has you to balance that out.
5:00 pm
uusue2
thanks, cos, it's a complicated situation
5:01 pm
Nef
It was good. But not exactly what I thought it would be like
5:01 pm
Nef
only when she lets me. Molly
5:01 pm
cosdem
it didnt feel the same this year, it was different.
5:01 pm
MollyL
Hmm, didn't notice a difference myself.
5:01 pm
Nef
How did your Thanksgiving turn out?
5:01 pm
cosdem
santa's float wasnt as good.i can't put my finger n it
5:02 pm
cosdem
it was ok. didnt have any of the pies i made :( they forgot to give us some to bring home
5:02 pm
Nef
I still can't say that it made me feel like the Christmas season started though
5:02 pm
MollyL
I like it better when kids sing as Santa arrives.
5:02 pm
cosdem
thats it molly!
5:03 pm
cosdem
they didnt sing santa claus is coming to town.
5:03 pm
Nef
so you Did go? And there was a turkey with trimmings, etc?
5:03 pm
cosdem
yes nef.. pretty good turkey too. lemon herb
5:03 pm
MollyL
I can't "do Christmas" for a solid month. *Ducks to avoid candy canes flung from Cos*
5:04 pm
Nef
I'm so glad for you! :-) Too bad about the desserts, though!
5:04 pm
cosdem
if i can do it for two months...
5:04 pm
cosdem
im not making anything for christmas :)
5:04 pm
Nef
TWO MONTHS, cos? Holy cats!
5:04 pm
cosdem
well i did find a recipe today for eggnog cheesecake so maybe ill make that and bring only half
5:04 pm
MollyL
You brought pie and they didn't give you any to take home????
5:05 pm
cosdem
two pies - both from scratch and a big batch of cookies
5:06 pm
uusue2
<--- would not say no to eggnog cheesecake
5:06 pm
Nef
Cos, bake it in a 9X13" pan and you could cut it into square pieces and they wouldn't know they only got half.
5:06 pm
cosdem
oooh good idea.
5:06 pm
MollyL
That is just wrong Cos. *Cues up Saturday Night Live Dysfunctional Family Christmas*
5:07 pm
Nef
(sometimes I can be devious; or at least Think devious thoughts!)
5:07 pm
cosdem
but they did give us 3 huge bowls of pitascho salad to bring home and a 5 lb bag of rolls LOL
5:08 pm
uusue2
<--- would not say no to pistachio salad either
5:08 pm
Nef
a 5 lb bag of rolls? And I've never hear of pistachio salad (going to Google it now)
5:08 pm
cosdem
its basically pitascho jello, mixed with whip cream and marshmallows, pretty good
5:08 pm
dianedecoder
Fireworks !! .... am now off to eat and watch the Grey Cup Game ( Canadian Football final! ) Have fun, everyone !!
5:08 pm
uusue2
I would leave out the marshmallows, though
5:08 pm
uusue2

5:09 pm

5:29 pm
uusue2
ok, off to rehearsal, see you all later!
5:34 pm
MollyL
I could live the rest of my life a contented person if I never tasted pistachio salad.
5:38 pm
Nef
I think it sounds sort of like some of the desserts an aunt used to make when I was young (lots of whipped cream, marshmallows etc.) but they didn't have pistachio jello back in "the olden days."
5:38 pm
Nef
soor that was pistachio pudding, not jello
5:38 pm
Nef
sorry, that was.
5:38 pm
MollyL
I am not a big fan of jello salads/desserts of any kind. Especially at holiday meals.
5:39 pm
MollyL
No, Cos said pistachio jello. That is part of what's making me queasy.
5:41 pm
Nef
oh, the recipe I saw over at allrecipes said pudding. For me, a little of the puddings and desserts go a long way (except for dark, rich chocolate! I love that!
5:42 pm
MollyL
I'm okay with pudding dessert. Jello salads on the other hand, not so good.
5:43 pm
Nef
I don't mind jello; but I can't seem to make it right; I usually have a rubbery layer in it. So we just don't have it in our house
5:45 pm
sammysmom

6:01 pm
crosshair

6:17 pm
MollyL
Our show, te5/10 Nova
6:18 pm
Nef
the Vikings are telling us they want a new stadium "or else." All I can say is they better play a whole lot better than this if they expect us to fund as much of this stadium as they want!
6:19 pm
MollyL
Overtime in the Broncos game. Go Denver!!!
6:21 pm
JenMO16

6:25 pm
Nef
decorations??? I better look at them closer then
6:26 pm
jmcnrick
not a very good picture--i try to take the pics when the workers aren't around and they are usually around unless it is raining or sunset
6:26 pm
Nef
I guess I thought that that was part of the scaffolding
6:27 pm
MollyL
Don't believe her Nef. Her house used to be a Red Lobster. : P
6:27 pm
MollyL
Yay Cos!!!
6:27 pm
jmcnrick
hey molls i am having an open house to sell the kenyan jackets friday from 6 to 9
6:27 pm
jmcnrick
whoo hooo cosd
6:28 pm
Nef
YAY, cos!!! WTG!!
6:28 pm
Nef
how many jackets do you have, jmc? what colors and sizes?
6:28 pm
joey
hey, folks. after not being here for almost a month I am back with a new computer and a bunch of problems. Right now the one that I need help with is - when I copy the words from my word list and try to drop them into Lickety's bulk add, I get attitude and told that adding more lines before or after is cheating. I have tried to pick up from the top and the bottom. doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas?
6:28 pm
MollyL
And giving new definition to the term "open" house.
: )
6:29 pm
MollyL
Hi Joey, welcome back.
6:29 pm
JenMO16
good job, cos
6:29 pm
jmcnrick
odd joey that happened to me once when i accidently took the words stats tooo
6:29 pm
jmcnrick
and welcome back joey
6:29 pm
Nef
hi joey. I can't help you; I'm on a Mac...
6:30 pm
jmcnrick
haha molls i am doing it at my sisters house since obviously it would be hard to do at mine
6:30 pm
joey
I also second the question - stated in a different way - are you having a virtual sale where you would ship?
6:30 pm
brid
make sure you aren't picking up the chat box
6:30 pm
jmcnrick
so what i did when that happened is that i took a word fewer than i had to drop in the list
6:31 pm
MollyL
Oh now see I thought the cool breeze blowing through the house would be incentive to buy a jacket. I was marveling at your market strategy.
6:31 pm
jmcnrick
the problem is each of these jackets is unique. i have done it by e-mail with one person and it took me weeks.
6:31 pm
jmcnrick
maybe if i dropped out of school i could do it
6:31 pm
Nef
LOL, Molly! I think that's a great idea!
6:32 pm
joey
I took a word off top and bottom and it still didn't work. crap
6:32 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm that is odd joey let me try (i wasn't listing yet) what browser are you using?
6:33 pm
jmcnrick
did you try rebooting
6:33 pm
Nef
I saw some of your jackets when you had pictures from that Oregon meet up, jmc. I thought they were lovey
6:33 pm
jmcnrick
(my cure for all computer ails)
6:33 pm
joey
crap, I hate to say but I honestly don't know.
6:33 pm
joey
not yet. i am afraid to
6:33 pm
Nef
lovely (my spelling is very bad tonight)
6:34 pm
brid
so probably safari on a mac
6:34 pm
jmcnrick
they are but I would need the measurements and then figure out which jackets might fit and then send pictures . . . .
6:34 pm
jmcnrick
why are you afraid? hahah if it is a new computer it should be okay
6:34 pm
jmcnrick
good point brid haha
6:35 pm
joey
that is why. this is my first new computer in about 7 years. had to have someone else hook it up wireless
6:35 pm
Nef
cute, brid! :-)
6:36 pm
jmcnrick
well the new computers need to be rebooted from time to time to work
6:36 pm
Nef
joey, a new "puter" (as my grandson says) is much more reliable than your old one. You are just used to the old one's problems
6:36 pm
MollyL
Don't Mac users have a problem with Lickety?
6:37 pm
jmcnrick
is it a mac or a pc joey
6:37 pm
Nef
we can't get the Babble Expert, Molly
6:37 pm
joey
yup. you are right, nef.
6:37 pm
Nef
Are you on a Mac, joey?
6:38 pm
jmcnrick

stuck with 51 words left...
7:49 pm
Nef
I'm finding that doing all my walking inside or on smooth surfaces hasn't pushed me to use some of my samller muscles in my hip; so now we are trying to go out and walk on the rougher roads around
7:50 pm
Nef
are you back to running again?
7:52 pm
redturtlehead
I can run up to 20 mins. Last week I started to run up hills and down hills in Physical Therapy, it was great fun. but I am so out of shape!
7:53 pm
big red

7:54 pm
Nef
sorry, I don't have it yet. big red
7:54 pm

Sort of. It is still a little hard with the impact, but, it is getting there, and actualy my hip movement is much improved from the past.

8:28 pm
lil*monkey
Molly it means to SNORT , as in a drug
8:28 pm
Nef

YAY, teach! WTG!!!
9:19 pm

I have 20 words left and am hitting a wall right now; also finding my attention span is missing. Taking a short break (making tea and etc.) and will return to finish in a bit.
9:19 pm

And done ..
9:19 pm

Goodbye Nef! I will see you later on in the chat log maybe.

YAY tor!

stidmama
hey all!
9:26 pm
Minveryork
Hello stidmama!How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle
9:29 pm
Nef
hi stid (wandering back in again; short attention span playing havoc with what I was doing too)
9:30 pm
stidmama
I am NOT earning points with the younger stidkid who spent most of the last four days leisurely lounging and working on the assignment due Monday -- ignoring ALL other schoolwork including the TWO overdue papers in other classes!!!!
9:31 pm
stidmama
and hey Nef. sorry to vent as you came in!
9:31 pm
Nef
You're the MOM; you aren't supposed to earn points with him. (I'm so glad I'm past that age!) My sympathies, stid
9:33 pm
stidmama
Thanks Nef. Feeling sorry for myself at the moment, he is SO angry that I am asking him to be accountable for his grades, and to bring them up. I told him tonight there are NO after school activities or visits with friends until the schoolwork is in (or the teachers email me and tell me it's too late to turn in) AND the grades start to pick up.
9:33 pm
stidmama
I am an excellent Mom. I really would have preferred to be an aunty...
9:34 pm
Nef
I wish I would have known about the research showing that they act like they doi because their brains aren't fully developed til they are in their 20's. I would have used that as ammunition whenever they got out of line! ;-)
9:35 pm
stidmama
Well, I think I am on the right track to require both grades and respect before I will pay for driver's training/license etc. Kids need to demonstrate they are ready for the responsibility of driving before I risk my insurance rates!
9:36 pm
Nef
"Research has shown that you don't have a full brain yet and you don't make good decisions; therefore you WILL follow our rules and DO the Homework!"
9:37 pm
Nef
You have the right frame of mind, stid. Just remember that He needs to understand it
9:37 pm
stidmama
oooh! you are SOOOOO bad/good!
9:38 pm
Nef
LOL! Both of my kids are still ADHD. I do use that against them at times.
9:39 pm
stidmama
mine are not ADHD (they have other issues), but some days I think they don't focus well... as a teacher I am used to dealing with it in other peoples' kids. Not so much in my own.
9:41 pm
Nef
(((stid))) I know; it's tough sometimes. Just be consistent and stand your ground
9:41 pm
stidmama
thanks Nef. would you like a bit of the lovely Theo choclit with "toffee"?
9:44 pm
Nef
sure. :-) I don't know what that is; but I'll try it
9:45 pm
stidmama
they're yummy, local seattle chocolatier
http://www.theochocolate.
com/
they give tours!
9:45 pm
stidmama
someday I want to go on the tour. If you like, when you come visit (hint, hint) we can go together!
9:45 pm
Nef
here's a link to a story you can use as ammunition if you'd like: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,31
4601,00.html
9:46 pm
stidmama
aha! a good resource, indeed -- thanks!
9:46 pm
Nef
Oooh! That looks so good! Yes! I'll take the tour with you! :-)
9:47 pm
stidmama
it's strange -- for many years this child was particularly responsible and capable. Now I am back to feeling as if I must monitor, plan and check up as if he were a toddler in an unfenced backyard...
9:48 pm
stidmama
yippee!!! let's start planning the first-ever babbler choclate tour. We'll do Theo chocolates, and then stop off at Hershey, PA on our way to Switzerland/Belgium/Germany/Spain.... LOL
9:49 pm
Nef
I understand; my daughter did the same thing , but she waited til she was 22 before it all came down on her!
9:49 pm
Nef
Wouldn't that be FUN!??! I'd love to do that (even if it's only a virtual tour)
9:51 pm
Nef
(brb, teapot should be squealing and isn't!)
9:51 pm
stidmama
that would be so cool -- apparently Lucky got into the Russian choclits on Tom's desk while we were away at the parade this afternoon... this explains his spurts of activity.
9:53 pm
kpeet
Joanne I just cant do this...its my first babble though
9:53 pm
stidmama
can I assist in any way kpeet?
9:54 pm
kpeet
Running out of words....do they have to join in a certain way?
9:55 pm
stidmama
yes, the letters for the words have to touch at a side or a corner, in the order they appear
9:55 pm
stidmama
how many words do you have so far?
9:58 pm
stidmama
then you have all the possible words!
9:59 pm
Nef
you only havew 7 words left, kpeet. You can do it!
9:59 pm
Nef
Sorry; *I* only have 7 words left.
9:59 pm
stidmama
go Nef go!
10:00 pm
kpeet
I read the wrong part....ding dong.... I have found 100 words
10:00 pm
Nef
thanks, stid
10:00 pm
stidmama
I have to head out. ((Nef)) thanks for the encouragement.
10:01 pm
stidmama
you're doing well, kpeet. There is a website that has some hints and tips for playing that might help you,http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/
10:01 pm
stidmama
good luck finishing, all! *poof*
10:01 pm
Nef
kpeet, have you found any of the "help" sites yet? The best site is the help box (right above the chat here) and then if you scroll down below the grid and the tile stats youwill find "friends of Babble" sites
10:03 pm
jmcnrick
hi kpeet welcome to the insanity of babbleland!
10:04 pm
Nef
and I always recommend to newbies one site down there: AngelSongs Babble Page. After you read and understand what's going on; then I recommend Lickety's Babble clues
10:04 pm
jmcnrick

Minveryork
Congratulations Nef on your fireworks! Hooray for U!
10:24 pm
Nef
th 5/14 = 3 letter adjective + a make up **se is where you keep your makeup
10:24 pm
Minveryork
A th 6/24 word is th 5/14 word plus a vowel jmcnrick.
10:24 pm
Nef
