Listing...

9:44 am

MollyL

What, it's like a Malaysian limerick?

9:44 am

jan

Interesting... the no/5/14 is the singular of the babblet no/4/4. Can't say as I've ever seen the singular in a puzzle before, though the no/4/4 is a common one.

9:45 am

jan

Apparently, Molly. As soon as I typed it, I thought that the definition of a limerick would sound pretty bizarre and obscure too.

9:45 am

jan

I might actually get a chance to use it--I'm going to Kuala Lumpur this July.

9:46 am

4:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

touche.

4:02 pm

MollyL

Hi Hoot

4:02 pm

hootowl

soory Kap. Not being a wise gut. It is true thou. It depends on vocabulary and associations that are not obvious to grownups

4:03 pm

hootowl

hi molly

4:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Wise gut. Indeed.

4:03 pm

hootowl

Good grief - and I haven't had a drop! guy guy!

4:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have only been offended once in all my months on chog, and this was not the time.

4:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now...

4:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I''m not even telling when it was. Isn't that passive aggressive?

4:04 pm

hootowl

ok - I know I come across kinda weird sometimes. Just nudge me when I do

4:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You did not come across as weird.

4:04 pm

hootowl

ok

4:04 pm

hootowl

but

4:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Besides, if YOU'RE weird, what the heck am I?

4:05 pm

hootowl

babblers

4:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I refuse to believe there are any more than 5 m's.

4:09 pm

hootowl

There are - think old lamb with a mid letter removed

4:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And this extreme skepticism is another reason why I will not see fireworks tonight.

4:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have that mu. Is there more?

4:10 pm

hootowl

sure you will! what is old lamb called

4:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Am I missing some fish that goes with the lamb?

4:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have the genetic deviant ninja.

4:10 pm

hootowl

first is an electrical thing

4:10 pm

hootowl

and pl

4:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

uh-oh.

4:11 pm

hootowl

4:12 pm

hootowl

4:12 pm

hootowl

4:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, I do.

4:12 pm

bichon

pa 8 is the pl of the 7

4:12 pm

bichon

weird word

4:12 pm

hootowl

May I have a clue please

4:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am missing a t. and nother t. and 4 n's.

4:13 pm

hootowl

I know Bichon

4:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

pa4 and weird ending- not a common word.

4:13 pm

hootowl

I kinda figured that

4:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

sounds like it could be turkish or something

4:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ah, but it is a Malay verse form consisting of an indefinite number of quatrains with the second and fourth lines of each quatrain repeated as the first and third lines of the following one.

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know it's on the tip of your tongue.

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I just wrote one the other day.

4:15 pm

MollyL

Do you have the N that 0% milk is?

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No! Thanks!

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sneaky one!

4:16 pm

hootowl

okkk! How about the an7?

4:16 pm

MollyL

Kaplan the Magne

I do not hve it.

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

4:17 pm

hootowl

ty - a real fish!

4:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was not terribly overweight, but I got rid of 10 or 15 lbs of middle aged creep-on fat, and guess what? I think my heartburn disappeared.

4:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I probably traded it for osteoperosis or something, but what the hell.

4:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I stopped taking clcium supplements last year. Should I start again?

4:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have the clothing, villages, heartburn med. Also the Malay verse. What 7 am I missing?

4:20 pm

hootowl

4:22 pm

Soodle

Hello everybody :-)

4:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Cheers.

4:23 pm

Minveryork

Hello Soodle! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

4:23 pm

Soodle

Kap... I went to bed last night humming those songs...

4:23 pm

hootowl

an7, ca7, ca7, no7 and pa7

4:23 pm

Soodle

Hey Min :-). Im good thank you. And you?

4:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ah. Tno7...

4:25 pm

Soodle

Oooh, thank you Hoot!

4:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

4:25 pm

hootowl

yw

4:25 pm

Soodle

<------Lurves swing!

4:25 pm

hootowl

yeah!

4:26 pm

MollyL

*Cues up Glenn Miller's "In The Mood" *

4:27 pm

hootowl

oboy!

4:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Pardon me Boy, is that the Chatanooga Choo Choo?

4:27 pm

hootowl

I'm next! Harry James!

4:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I love that song, except the "boy" term is racist

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I got my fare, and just a trifle to spare

4:28 pm

Soodle

Foxtrotting around the kitchen......... (Am wearing a tatty old dressing gown, which spoils the image somewhat..)

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You leave the Pennsylvania station at a quarter to 4

4:28 pm

hootowl

Just think of him taling to any boy and you'll be ok!

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

read a magazine and you're in Baltimore.

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer,

4:29 pm

MollyL

I used to do a hellofa Jitterbug. I think I might injure something now.

4:29 pm

Soodle

Is that the cat who chewed my new shoes?

4:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

than to have your ham & eggs in Carolina/

4:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The Porters were all African American though.

4:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

When you hear the whistle blowing 8 to the bar,

4:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

then you know that Tennessee is not very far...

4:30 pm

hootowl

Don't hold on to the bad stuff!

4:30 pm

Soodle

LOL Hoot :-)

4:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know, but it's unfortunately part of the history. I think Benny Goodman was the first to have an interracial Big Band.

4:31 pm

hootowl

Sorry. I was born & raised in NY and the last 7 years in Tenn have been a jolt back to the 50;s

4:31 pm

MollyL

Tatty Dressing Gown sounds like the name of a grunge band

4:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In a good way>

4:31 pm

hootowl

They'll steal it now!

4:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A Ne Yorker in Tennessee?

4:32 pm

MollyL

No kidding Hoot. Prejudice is alive and well down there.

4:32 pm

Soodle

Yup! Its the Soodle Swing look...

4:32 pm

Soodle

You guys serious? Are things really racist in the South?

4:33 pm

hootowl

I was amazed! I'd try to talk to someone in a supermarket and be snubbed. It's better since we got rid of the JA who was mayor for too long tho

4:33 pm

hootowl

very serious I'm afraid

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Racism is very much alive and well, though in mu7 forms. Often subtle.

4:34 pm

Soodle

Oh my. I'm amazed to hear that. I thought the world had moved on............

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's not like the Jim Crow days, but it's definitely alive and well. Conscious and unconscious.

4:35 pm

hootowl

Well it is a lot better since we got rid of him. His only platform was that he was black and all the other blacks had to vote for him

4:35 pm

snags

what city hootowl??

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, Soodle, humans will always scapegoat, unfortunately.

4:36 pm

Minveryork

Hello snags! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

4:36 pm

hootowl

He won the last election with 23% of the vote (6 candidates) then quit 2 months later!

4:36 pm

hootowl

memphis

4:36 pm

snags

ok.

4:36 pm

snags

ty min for the welcome

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Stuck inside of Mobile with those Memphis blues again?

4:37 pm

snags

hoot, why did he quit?

4:37 pm

Minveryork

I am okay soodle.Sorry for late response.Was doing a story of clues.

4:37 pm

MollyL

On the plus side, there is a lot of good blues in Memphis. : )

4:37 pm

hootowl

He actually ran against a white man who had been elected to a primarily black district on the basis that since he was black he deserved to take over.

4:37 pm

Soodle

To change the music genre....'When will we ever learn'.........

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Graceland.

4:38 pm

hootowl

this was after he quit mayoring. He lost 69% voted for the white guy!

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I m getting engrossed in chog and forgetting grid.

4:39 pm

Soodle

Of course, the very same thing is happening here in Ireland. We have had a huge influx of Nigerians here in the past 7/10 years, and its been a difficult transiton. Racism is alive and well all over. :-(

4:39 pm

Minveryork

Maybe this will help you remember Kaplan the Magne..

4:39 pm

hootowl

they are learning. Slow but sure. But he spread his poison for better than 20 yrs so it'll take a while

4:39 pm

snags

here in the midwest, racism isn't .......... my daughters home is filled with kids of all races. they come to play and visit with my g/s's

4:39 pm

Minveryork

I am ho 4/6ing on to my last three word until later so here is a story of clues.Husband ca6/21 seem to find a job.He has been out of work for two years.Hubby's da 4/8 if he thinks that I'm going to keep supporting him.Hubby mu4/6 get a job soon or else I am going to ou4/5 his butt out! I get pa4/6 a decent salary, but not enough to support two people. Things have been very tense and we have been on the ou4/5 for a long time. We sn 4/5 at each other all the time. He thinks I am a sn5/10 and all I care about is money. I tell him I am not a sn4/5, but I DO care about having food to eat and a place to live. I ca4/5 live under such tense conditions much longer.I've spent to4/4 of time here on Babbleland so I'm going to take a break. Now I am going to st 5/12 up and go watch the film Ca 5/12ball Run starring Burt Reynold.I will be back later to finish

4:40 pm

MollyL

It's sad to hear stuff like that Hoot.

4:41 pm

hootowl

When I was in NY I always had all the kids in the house. We deliberately picked a mixed neighborhood!

4:41 pm

Minveryork

Racism doesn't just exist in the south.It exists in NY.

4:42 pm

hootowl

Well it is getting better. I've had women approch me to talk and that would never have happened 8 years ago.

4:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Racism is very often covert and comes packaged in assumptions.

4:42 pm

Soodle

Min - Lovely story as always. Thank you :-)

4:42 pm

snags

we can only hope.

4:43 pm

bichon

Is the story true Min?

4:43 pm

hootowl

Yes but it isn't like here. I dated black guys in NY. I had many black friends. Here I'm grateful that they stopped avaoiding me!

4:44 pm

MollyL

Yeah, I was thinking the story was kind of sad, not lovely.

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Cultural adjustment for you, Hoot.

4:44 pm

Minveryork

Yes, unfortunately it is very true. I'm at my wits end.

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is the story true?

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, I'm sorry.

4:44 pm

car.eeyore

I am sorry to hear that Min. {{hugs}}

4:44 pm

MollyL

Is he even trying to find work Min? I know that has got to be hard on you.

4:44 pm

Soodle

Racism in this country is particularly insidious. For generations, this country has exported its people - to the US, Canada, Oz. NZ..... And when the economy was good here, folk came here to seek a living. And met with hostility and racism. Shame on us.

4:44 pm

snags

Min, I am sorry,

4:45 pm

snags

I always thought it was part of your story.

4:45 pm

Minveryork

Thanks car.eeyore and hello, welcome to the chat log

4:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

He might be depressed. Not that that helps.

4:45 pm

bichon

It must be very difficult for you Min. You are a good person

4:46 pm

Soodle

((((Min)))). He is lucky he has such a lovely partner.

4:46 pm

Minveryork

Yes, he is trying to find work.He has a few jobs here and there that just didn't work out. I also have some pressure from my parents who want me to leave him.

4:46 pm

Minveryork

They would never outright tell me, but I know they do

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

that's awful. in this economy. What is his field?

4:47 pm

Soodle

Oh, Min... thats dreadful. You are being pulled in two different directions.

4:47 pm

Mark Jones

Hello peoples

4:48 pm

Soodle

Hello Mark

4:48 pm

MollyL

I'm sorry to hear that Min. That puts you in a very difficult position.

4:48 pm

snags

So sorry Min. Ppl only want what' s best in their opinion, but............. you know what is best for you.

4:48 pm

Mark Jones

Soodle and Min. It has been quite a while!

4:52 pm

hootowl

bye min - bye all of you. My supper must be prepared also. bbl

4:52 pm

bichon

But in this eonomy, these things do happen. And, quite frequently

MollyL

Oh for sure Bich.

4:53 pm

Soodle

4:55 pm

car.eeyore

Good grief! TY both. Shameful fireworks for me.

4:56 pm

Soodle

<------Had a duvet day today. Cleaned the windows, scrubbed the kitdchen & bathroom. Not the usual 'lick and promise' ..... even got the retired toothbrush out to clean the bathroom. Feeling a bit sanctimonious.

4:57 pm

car.eeyore

Good for you Soodle...now come do my house!

4:57 pm

bichon

A duvet day. That means cleaning. To me it means resting in bed and reading

4:58 pm

MollyL

Me too Bich, I was confused.

4:58 pm

car.eeyore

I do love it when I know that the house is "that" clean! It is a great feeling. Well done!

4:59 pm

MollyL

*Sending Soodle a grout brush*

4:59 pm

car.eeyore

OK. I am off to bed. I feel gross.

4:59 pm

MollyL

Night Car, hope you feel better.

5:00 pm

Picklesny

Minveryork

That ho4/6 is like help,but change vowel in the middle

6:41 pm

Picklesny

6:44 pm

Picklesny

There is a story of clues in my profile Picklesny. Just click on my icon to see the story I wrote b4 Picklesny

6:47 pm

Hello Babblers

6:48 pm

wht

This grid started out fine. I got the entire bottom row grayed out in no time at all.

6:48 pm

wht

I have slowed down after that.

6:48 pm

Minveryork

Hello wht! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

6:48 pm

MollyL

You are so clever, Wht.

6:52 pm

Picklesny

maybe some dinner will help

6:53 pm

Minveryork

I just had Vegetable stir-fry for dinner.It was yummy

7:02 pm

Jacula

Hi all! How's it going?

7:02 pm

Jacula

Min - great story, as usual.x

7:02 pm

Minveryork

Hi Jacula. I'm here off & on waiting to enter last word

7:04 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Jacula

7:04 pm

Jacula

Well, I finished earlier, if you need any clues. I came back in to read your clue story. I always enjoy them.

7:05 pm

Jacula

We look a bit pink, don't we? Well, pic isn't me, it's FMitch.

7:05 pm

jillibus

Hello all. I've been out a a Lions' club Xmas dinner for singles -- about 125 of us!

7:05 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, her cremation is happening on 13th December.

7:05 pm

jillibus

Just realised there's no E in this grid.

7:06 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I thought you had shingles? Don't give it to the singles!

7:06 pm

jillibus

Ha ha jac!

7:06 pm

Jacula

There may be no E but there are still 101 words.

7:06 pm

Minveryork

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

7:07 pm

Jacula

Sorry, jilli. Me and my black humour!

7:07 pm

jillibus

I'm still hoping the shingles will go away quickly.

7:08 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I hope you caught it in time not to have the post Shingles pain.

7:09 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jacula on finishing early! Way to go!

7:11 pm

Jacula

Thanks Min. It wasn't that early - the grid time said 4.16am, but it was later than that in the UK - more like early afternoon.

7:12 pm

Jacula

I've got one of those world clock thingies somewhere in my bookmarks, but I'm not really sure how to convert Babble time to UK time. It's 1.13am here in UK now.

7:13 pm

kje

713 pm babble time

7:13 pm

kje

1913

7:13 pm

kje

my real time is the same as babble time

7:15 pm

Minveryork

Hello kje!How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log

7:15 pm

Jacula

So that's 18 hours' difference.

7:16 pm

Jacula

Hello kje.

7:16 pm

kje

6 hours, jac... you are the morning of the 5th now, we are the evening of the 4th

7:17 pm

Jacula

kje - my maths is rubbish. I'm great with words though!:-)

7:17 pm

kje

lol

7:17 pm

kje

your math was ok, you just went the wrong direction!

7:18 pm

Jacula

Ah!

7:19 pm

Minveryork

My math is rubbish too which is why I play Babble and not Sudoku. Did go on that website to see if the chat log is like Babbleland.They don't seem to chat as much

7:19 pm

Minveryork

Unless it was a time when everyone finished already.

7:19 pm

kje

they are concentrating, minver

7:20 pm

Jacula

Min - I joined up when it first began, too. But maths logic isn't my strong point. Thing is, and this is not logical, if the grid was done with letters, I could probably do it.

7:22 pm

JenMO16

i am here

7:22 pm

Jacula

Hello Jen.

7:22 pm

JenMO16

i have 3 screens up so i can't see the chat log!

7:23 pm

Minveryork

I just checked out the chat log again in Sudoku.I see that evanadine and hurshy play Sudoku as well. When I scrolled down to the bottom of the chat log, I saw a post there from 4:30 in the morning.

7:23 pm

Minveryork

Hi JenMO161 How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:24 pm

Jacula

I'm not surprised that Hurshy plays - she generally wants the points value rather than a word clue here. We, or rather our brains, all work differently.

7:24 pm

wht

Min, ty for your story. I got a few clues there.

7:24 pm

Minveryork

I wonder if Sudoku has daily icon themes like Babble.

7:24 pm

Minveryork

yw wht

7:25 pm

wht

But I could use a clue fro the first so6.

7:25 pm

Jacula

Jen - you can open new windows instead and change the width of each window.

7:25 pm

MollyL

Not daughter + picnic pest Wht

7:26 pm

JenMO16

yes, that is what i do

7:26 pm

wht

ty Molly

7:26 pm

Jacula

Hi wht. so6 (1st) = having sound or what Molly said. (Hi Molly, btw.)

7:26 pm

MollyL

Hey Jac

7:26 pm

JenMO16

they would have to overlap

7:27 pm

Jacula

Jen - you need a larger monitor!

7:27 pm

Minveryork

Just fixed a mistake in my story. The sn4/5 should be an sn 4/4 word. Hope I didn't confuse anyone before.

7:27 pm

JenMO16

i have a laptop!!

7:27 pm

Jacula

OH, LOL. Sorry Jen.

7:28 pm

MollyL

I understood it from the context of the story Min, no worries.

7:28 pm

JenMO16

okay, i have more words and the puzzle on top and lickety under both of them

7:28 pm

MollyL

And you are neither a sn4 nor a sn5, so there. : )

7:29 pm

JenMO16

and i can see the chat

7:29 pm

Minveryork

I usually babble with three windows open, babble, list and enable. Then I just switch from screen to screen.

7:29 pm

Minveryork

Thanks MollyL!

7:30 pm

Jacula

Watched a programme on TV earlier about Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook. He's the same age as my son, who is also a computer geek. Why didn't my son invent the hugely profiable Facebook??

7:31 pm

Jacula

*profitable, I meant.

7:31 pm

Jacula

I do wish this site would get an 'edit' button!

7:31 pm

JenMO16

i have seen the story on mark zuckerberg, pretty cool

7:33 pm

JenMO16

JenMO16

7:39 pm

wht

7:39 pm

MollyL

An N word that means the same as the an7

7:40 pm

wht

You assume I have the an7, Molly.

7:41 pm

MollyL

Oops, digestive relief Wht

7:41 pm

Jacula

an7, wht, is what you will need if you have indigestion or heartburn.

7:42 pm

Jacula

I've just been outside to put some stuff into the recycling bin and had to prise the lid open because it was frozen shut. My cousin up in Scotland had snow yesterday. It looks like we down in England are nt far behind.

7:42 pm

Hush and shhhhh. I do not want to hear mention of the S word.

7:44 pm

Jacula

Molly - I know what you mean! I don't either.

7:44 pm

JenMO16

7:44 pm

Nef

7:45 pm

MollyL

Hi Nef

7:45 pm

JenMO16

hi nef!

7:45 pm

JenMO16

better hurry! i got 27 left!!

7:45 pm

Jacula

Hello Nef. I'm recovering from a virus that has gripped me for about 3 weeks, the grid's all done and I'm here to chat and clue. How are you?

7:46 pm

Nef

I have NBT so far; looking for the stats for the 8 please for NBS

7:46 pm

MollyL

Good Lord Jac, glad you are on the mend.

7:46 pm

MollyL

pa8/55 Nef, it's a weird word

7:46 pm

wvteach

pa 7/40 and pa 8/55 combo

7:47 pm

JenMO16

yep, it's a weird word alright

7:47 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

7:47 pm

Jacula

It's not a weird word if you are a poet and know how Malay verse is formed. LOL

7:48 pm

JenMO16

oh no! the coldest air of the season is coming!

7:48 pm

Jacula

Think phantom of the opera and then change the way you say the ghost word a bit. Try saying it in s-l-o-w motion, for instance. LOL.

7:48 pm

MollyL

Poet, yes. Familiar with Malaysian verse formation...um...no.

7:49 pm

Nef

I'm exhausted and stressed out. ALL of Auny's stuff was brought here from storage on Thursday and our son and dtr were supposed to help sort through it this weekend. Of course, DIL became a drama queen and our son had to deal with her all w/e and we had our grandson (who has reverted to needing diapers again. Sorry for venting; I'm done now

7:49 pm

MollyL

Aw (((Nef))) sorry it was such an emotional upheaval.

7:49 pm

Jacula

Molly - Poor Haz must have thought she'd got a heavy breather perv on the line when I range her the other day. She most most concerned about my breathing, as was my mother. The threat of pleurisy seems to have passed now.

7:50 pm

wht

Fireworks

7:50 pm

Nef

Thanks.

7:50 pm

MollyL

Yay Wht!!!

7:50 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations wht on your fireworks! Good for you

7:50 pm

Nef

Jacula, glad you are on the mend!

7:51 pm

MollyL

Nef, deep breaths and a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is another day, as they say.

7:51 pm

Jacula

Nef - sorting stuff out is a nightmare! My MIL has been chucking stuff out since she was about 55 and she's 76 now, 'so people don't have so much stuff to sort out when I go'. The old lady over the road from me (in her mid 70s and only months younger than my vibrant and vital Mum) lives in a virtually empty house for the very same reason.

7:52 pm

Jacula

Congrats wht.

7:52 pm

wht

Nef, that is a lot to deal with.

7:52 pm

Nef

thanks, Molly; and yes; tomorrow is another day (and it will be much better since we can now see walls and part of the floor in the front room

7:53 pm

pbr

Haven't played this game regularly for a very long time, but at least tonight, I am doing the firework dance.

7:53 pm

MollyL

Nef, poor grand-boy. Sending some light his way. He has a lot to deal with, for a little guy.

7:53 pm

wtg pbr

7:53 pm

My Mum says she's making sure to leave me plenty to sort out. I know where she's 'coming from'. x

7:53 pm

Nef

YAY, wht!!! WTG!!!

7:53 pm

Nef

Yay, pbr!!! WTG!!!

7:53 pm

Jacula

Oops! Didn't mean to say that twice. Sorry!

7:54 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks!mu6/24 was my last word

7:54 pm

Thx. I have missed you all. Good knowing the game is still going

I am doing well. Between work, which requires travel, I just haven't had time for this..plus I have been playing pogo games.

7:55 pm

JenMO16

yeah, min

7:56 pm

Jacula

We've welcomed quite a few old Babblers back in the past few days, some who haven't played for 4 years. Wonder what's drawing us all back in again?

7:57 pm

Minveryork

I go through withdrawal if I don't babble for two days

7:58 pm

Jacula

It only needs Anj and Lola to appear again and I'm going to think magic is at work.

7:58 pm

Minveryork

and FranMag

7:59 pm

Jacula

Min - I Babble on paper if I can't Babble on line. But that's only because Beloved has a phone that can pick the grid up. It would cost too much to text the words in or chat.

7:59 pm

herinfernallady

Hi. Fran is well she is busy with kids and such

7:59 pm

herinfernallady

I also believe that some of the lurkers have come out to wish love to FM's family

8:00 pm

Minveryork

Hello herinfernallady!How are you? Welcome to puzzle

8:00 pm

Jacula

Franmag is around on FB. Actually, I haven't told her about Fiona's death. Hi Herin. Have you told her?

8:00 pm

herinfernallady

No I ahven't

8:01 pm

Jacula

The only family FM had left was her stepfather, herin. Like me, she was an only child.

8:01 pm

Jacula

Herin - should I let her know then?

8:02 pm

herinfernallady

I just did

8:02 pm

crosshair

howdy everyone back for a few more

8:02 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay Herin. Thanks for doing that.

ty ladies for the fine welcome:))

8:03 pm

crosshair

and wht of course

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

I just got in Hi Wht

8:04 pm

Minveryork

crosshair,do you know the "free" word program that can be downloaded from the internet. Used to have it

8:04 pm

crosshair

openoffice.org

8:05 pm

Minveryork

Oh yeah,that's it!I knew I would know it once I saw it

8:05 pm

Minveryork

Thanks!

8:05 pm

crosshair

it is great:)

8:06 pm

Minveryork

Yes, I used to have it. The only problem is if I send it as an attachment to somebody who does not have it, they can't open it. But I don't want to pay for "Word"

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

My local store has a new product. Toblerone Triangles

8:07 pm

crosshair

windows office and open office should be able to talk to each other

8:07 pm

wht

You can always save the document as a Word document and send that, Min.

8:07 pm

Minveryork

Toblerone Triangles is not new here.I LOVE Toblerone

8:07 pm

wht

I do that all the time

8:07 pm

Jacula

I'm a bit old-fashioned, I prefer Office.

8:08 pm

Jacula

Min - not new here either.

8:08 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry not Toblerone but Triangles. Like Crossaints with toblerone

8:08 pm

Minveryork

I do not have Word which is why I need Open Office.

8:08 pm

crosshair

open office rocks

8:08 pm

Jacula

Herin - do you have Quality Street chocs in Aus? The do the big purple one and the big green triangle now.

8:09 pm

crosshair

it does not blind you with teenie tiny adjustments

8:09 pm

herinfernallady

Yes we do but I am not sure if the Supermarkets do and not Sweet stores

8:09 pm

Minveryork

That sounds delicious! Hope it comes here to the U.S.

8:09 pm

Jacula

I somehow lost Miscrosoft Publisher when my son built me a new pc.:(

8:09 pm

wht

Min, Open Office lets you save documents in word format. When you save the document, there is a drop down for file type. Just select word document.

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

Min you could do it yourself with a croissant

8:10 pm

crosshair

i thought there was something like that why ty

8:10 pm

Jacula

Min - yes, everyone's two favourites in giant form. YUM.

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

Jac I have lost the disks for the full set of Office that I bought

8:10 pm

Minveryork

Yeah, but then I would have to do it and I am LAZY!!!

8:11 pm

Minveryork

wht, can I then open the document in word format if I don't have word? I'll have to download office and try

8:11 pm

wht

There are actually a couple of .doc formats. I use the one that has the longest list of compatabilities.

8:12 pm

wht

Open Office will read word documents as well. There may be some problems rendering if there are complicated things in the document, but for most normal things it works just fine.

8:13 pm

Jacula

Unfortunate we are, as that short man with the big ears, whose name I can't remember right now, would say, Herin. Starwars chap, I think? Keep being told his name, since when the hairs in Beloved's ears grow overlong, I want to tell him he looks like him. Damn this dratted menopause thing for zapping half my memory!

8:13 pm

herinfernallady

yoda

8:14 pm

Jacula

Thank you, Herin! That's the chap!

8:14 pm

herinfernallady

Or Jar Jar (but he makes me want to punch him in the head)

8:14 pm

crosshair

lol min,let everyone else stuck with word worry about being able to open it,as long as i can send it in word format,and i know they can open it,i will avoid word and windows office and the rest of it

8:14 pm

Jacula

Jar Jar is my stepdaughter, Herin.

8:14 pm

herinfernallady

OMG there is a guy on the view with the most sexist Barry White voice ever

8:14 pm

crosshair

sexist or sexiest?

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

What ever - Sexiest. Sorry Have only had One coffee and had to deal with the store of hell today

8:15 pm

crosshair

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

We have been watching Sons of Anarchy and Ron Perlmen is dead set sexy voice.

8:18 pm

Jacula

crossy - she must mean sexist. Barry White may not have had the most attrative body in the world but he sure as hell had the sexist voice. It was so deep it vibrated through the seat he was sharing and turned women on. It wasn't much different through the 'woofers' on good hifi speakers either!

8:18 pm

Jacula

What a ballsup I made of that last post! Sexiest, attractive. GRR

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry I just haven't had enough coffee today

8:19 pm

Crossy - stop singing that! My love needs his sleep since he's found some work from now until Christmas.

herinfernallady

8:44 pm

crosshair

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

Bab's life hands you lemons demand vodka

8:47 pm

Jacula

Jen - women are much more bitchy - they know exactly what hurts. Just take some time to get in touch with yourself. I took 10 years, with the odd foray into you know what where I didn't give a sh*t. When the right one comes, those old romance books are right, things spark and crackle and you just KNOW.

8:47 pm

Minveryork

id 4/5 word is American Id** or singer Billy Id** Babs1.

9:16 pm

Nef

I have been in and out of AlAnon several times, Jac. Lots of alcoholics in my (and DH's) families. Alcoholism is an illness and I've seen the severe effects of the disease when I worked in ICU.

9:17 pm

Jacula

I still have to zap back from the dad going bonkers and then dying, the daughter trying to starver herself to death, oh and the sudden divorce that happened just into my Dad losing his mind.

9:17 pm

9:18 pm

herinfernallady

I have been told my birth father was a drinker and gambler hence the reason for me never to gamble or get into a habit of drinking

9:20 pm

Picklesny

good night all

9:20 pm

Jacula

Don't worry! I'm a survivor. I won't be going down Fm's route, though I tried to for a time. I once thought that I did not want to be around any more and thought the best way to go was to slowly kill myself whilst I waited for my children to grow up. Howwever, before they'd fully grown up, they caught onto what i was doing and told me NO WAY! They still watch me closely now.

9:20 pm
