1:16 am

dizgrannie

in 9 x 2

1:16 am

m9f9l

nbt

1:16 am

joey

m9, with the old computer when I entered a word in the add word box and hit enter on the computer, the cursor would stay in the add word box. Now when I enter a word in the add word box and hit the enter the cursor goes somewhere else and I always have to hit the mouse inside the add work box. that is the first problem

1:16 am

dizgrannie

TY Flos

1:17 am

jillibus

I give up -- side hurting so I'll go to bed. Goodnight all -- 177 left :-(

1:17 am

flosey

ah, sorry to hear jilli

1:17 am

grannyrose

nite jilli, hope you can get a good night's rest, hun

1:18 am

jillibus

joey, maybe you have IE 9 now and used to have IE 8?

1:18 am

dizgrannie

night Jilli, take care AND LOTS OF REST xxx

1:18 am

flosey

hope you are able to sleep

1:18 am

m9f9l

hmmm.... even if you have the mouse cursor still on the add word box??

1:18 am

joey

the second problem is when I decide to use lickety's list, when I copy My Word List and try to put it into the Add Bulk box, it seems that the list formats so that each line is now three lines and all left justified, so I get a message that more or less sends a You are cheating message.

1:18 am

jillibus

I seem to be able to sleep, thanks, all.

1:19 am

jillibus

I had lots of problems with Babble and IE 9 so went back to 8.

1:19 am

joey

the mouse cursor just seems to disappear.

1:20 am

m9f9l

is it only in babble that this happens?

1:20 am

jillibus

Anyway, joey, why haven't you been using Babble Expert?

1:20 am

joey

m9, I I have no idea if it happens anywhere else.

1:21 am

m9f9l

ah.. 'cause it's a new puter.

1:21 am

jillibus

Over to m9 -- goodnight all!...*poof

1:21 am

joey

Jillibus, I have never used BE because the old computer wouldn't take it and I don't know how to get it now.

1:22 am

jillibus

Just email mrp, joey and she will send it

1:22 am

jillibus

*repoof

1:22 am

grannyrose

has anyone got all the d's? missing one :(

1:22 am

joey

thanks, Jilli, I will try that.

1:22 am

m9f9l

copy and paste your list into a word or notepad...

1:22 am

m9f9l

and see what it looks like there.

1:23 am

m9f9l

just to see if extra lines are being added there too

1:25 am

m9f9l

but it's probably a compatibility issue with Babble/Lickety.

1:25 am

joey

you know, I used to be quite good with a computer, but this one has beaten me. I used to be able to search on a page by using edit or some other pull down. Now, I can't even find a pull down. I HATE THIS

1:26 am

m9f9l

uh oh. what sys is it running?

1:26 am

ursh

jmcnrick

hi all here for about 3 minutes before i hit the road

7:43 am

welki

hi, jm

7:44 am

jmcnrick

hey welki can you fish in the winter if it is not ice fishing?

7:44 am

welki

in some places - others are closed during the winter

7:44 am

uusue2

hi jmc!

7:44 am

jmcnrick

so i could invite someone to fish on my own land in a pond

7:44 am

jmcnrick

hi uu

7:44 am

welki

hi sue

7:45 am

uusue2

hi welki!

7:45 am

welki

depends on how the land is deeded

7:45 am

jmcnrick

fee simple

7:45 am

welki

for instance, when i lived in nj, i had a trout stream running through my property,

7:46 am

welki

i could post no trespassing signs - folks couldn't fish if they walked along the river, but could if they floated down, since i didn't own the water

7:47 am

welki

however, during spawn, the stream was closed to fishing, no matter who owned the banks

7:47 am

jmcnrick

pond is entirely on my (sister's) land and feed by an underground stream

7:47 am

welki

if it's a pond, shouldn't be a problem, but you'd have to watch how you stock it - very heavily regulated in some places

7:48 am

jmcnrick

wow fishing is complicated who'd of thought?

7:49 am

welki

no one would have thought - until folks started introducing species that don't belong in certain environments - you wouldn't think in a pond, it'd be a problem, but birds take fish and drop them, fish eggs, etc

7:50 am

welki

and, before you know it, there are nuisance/predator species that have to be controlled - great lakes have a huge problem with non-native species

7:50 am

jmcnrick

yes we had a problem with some chinese fish down here for a while that a brother brought his sister to raise to eat and it jumped ponds

7:51 am

welki

invasive species cost our governments millions and millions of dollars - and still the risk to fisheries is immense

7:51 am

jmcnrick

okay i must his the road hope to see you guys later

7:51 am

uusue2

bye jmc!

7:51 am

safe ride, jm

There is an 8/10/9 combo that means indirect suggestion. One singular, two plural.

There's a clue at 4.08 in the chog, gran.

9:17 am

hurshy

but the hiring person is happy to meet with me to talk about future possibilities, so that's something.

9:18 am

Judi

Take heart, Hurshy. If the first person doesn't work out, they may call you for that "perfect" job.

9:20 am

hurshy

i feel sure that i would be better than whoever they are planning to hire.

9:21 am

hurshy

i know that sounds arrogant but i'm just really good at the particular stuff they were looking for.

9:21 am

turqaz

thanks folks 4 the in 8/10/9 clues. i would never have seen those. i had to go use the thesaurus

i never know how to vaunt my skills well without sounding like an arrogant jerk.

9:21 am

welki

found one of those 8s, hursh - compound word, a type of mole

my college was founded by a guy named ephraim, so we were the ephs, and there's an a capella group called the ephlats - which is in the grid! i'd do name that proper noun except i don't think there are any fellow alums here to get it. :)

uusue2

10:24 am

hurshy

of course i hate facebook myself so i understand why you're NOT!

10:25 am

bichon

I'm on Facebook, but I don't do anything with it

10:25 am

Haz1558

I'm too old-fashioned, hurshy, plus I know that I'd probably spend far too much time on it. I've heard about those Farmville addictions.

10:25 am

uusue2

anyway, lshult if you are still here, I will be in your back yard soon!

10:25 am

Flask1

Oh Haz, they're dreadful!

10:26 am

hurshy

ah, i've never been tempted by farmville or any of that

10:26 am

crosshair

my facebook addiction is gardens of time

10:26 am

Haz1558

One daughter seemed to be running a cafe in Facebook and was stressed because her diners had no tables and chairs.

10:26 am

MollyL

I hardly ever to to Facebook anymore. It's just not my thing.

10:26 am

crosshair

we have over 30 babbles9that i know of) that play it

10:26 am

MollyL

Or go to

10:27 am

bichon

mainly I use it to connect with kids and grandkids. My husband ha over 1,000 friends

10:27 am

uusue2

I didn't do any facebook games for a long time, then started gardens of time

10:27 am

uusue2

but I haven't played it for a long time

10:27 am

Haz1558

Younger daughter has something like a clothes shop, not sure if it's Facebook or not. Her day off from work got her shop stocked and customers satisfied.

10:27 am

crosshair

gardens of time rocks!

10:27 am

Flask1

lol.....thats how it gets you.....after a while I deleted the whole lot!!

10:27 am

MollyL

I hear you Bich. It's the only way I see family pictures, that is why I reluctantly joined.

10:27 am

crosshair

do i have you on my GOT list sue?

10:28 am

rururocks

I certainly don't need more games to play

10:28 am

MollyL

Me either Ru.

10:28 am

Haz1558

Not when you're trying to overtake dart. Good luck with that.

10:28 am

uusue2

probably, crossy, and I may start to play again once the semester is over

10:28 am

crosshair

ruru,are you on my msn list?

10:29 am

uusue2

I got on facebook in the first place because my student group uses it to organize their events

10:29 am

bichon

I definitely don't need any more games. Besides Babble I have a crossword addiction

10:29 am

rururocks

exactly HAz.. exactly

10:29 am

crosshair

if not could you contact me at chipdip33@hotmail.com

10:29 am

uusue2

but it's about the only contact I have with my niece and nephew so that is good

10:29 am

Haz1558

He finished earlier on today. Just to keep you cheerful, ruru.

10:29 am

rururocks

I have anohter address I think crossie

10:30 am

rururocks

10:30 am

crosshair

10:30 am

Haz1558

I knew you'd be pleased.

10:30 am

rururocks

he is making it difficult for me

10:31 am

Haz1558

Is anybody taking bets on who will win?

10:32 am

rururocks

oh.. okay crossie.. i'll write you there

10:32 am

Flask1

Haz, I see Floggit is coming from your lovely part of the country....

10:32 am

crosshair

ty ruru

10:32 am

rururocks

I wouldn't bet on anyone other than me.. i can be stubborn about these kind of things haz

10:33 am

cool.girl

how can saxon not be a word

10:33 am

Haz1558

Is it? Where's it from, Flask?

10:33 am

Flask1

Lissanoure Castle....

10:33 am

Haz1558

Ah, I've been to a wedding reception there. It's very nice.

10:34 am

hurshy

so i came down this morning and my tabletop christmas tree was on the floor...

10:34 am

Haz1558

I've put it on TV now.

10:34 am

Flask1

where about is it? I don't recognise it..

10:35 am

Haz1558

It's Heather McCracken. I know her!

10:35 am

MollyL

Cat attack Hursh?

10:35 am

Haz1558

Typical Northern Ireland. Say nothing about anybody for you're bound to be talking to their aunt.

10:35 am

hurshy

yep

10:36 am

Flask1

lol......

10:36 am

hurshy

i added some large rocks to the plastic thingy at the bottom so hopefully it won't happen again...

10:36 am

Haz1558

Lissanoure is just outside a place called Loughguile. Between Ballymena and Ballycastle on the coast.

10:37 am

Flask1

Oh, very nice area!

10:37 am

uusue2

hurshy, I live with two cats and a large dog. Things appear on my floor all the time.

10:37 am

hurshy

that bally castle!

10:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, Bally means townland and so it appears pretty frequently in place names here.

10:39 am

hurshy

i love in one of the jeeves & wooster episodes when bertie says, "it's just the bally ballyness of it all that makes it all seem so bally bally!"

10:39 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

10:40 am

Haz1558

hurshy, have you seen Hugh Laurie's latest venture? He wants to be a blues singer.

10:41 am

hurshy

yes, i did see that

10:41 am

hurshy

read a profile on him. sadly, seems like he is more akin to house than to bertie in real life.

10:41 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure about his voice. My daughter thinks it's unreasonable for one person to have so many talents.

10:41 am

MollyL

Laurie is a pretty good musician.

10:42 am

hurshy

if i didn't have so much else to buy and not enough money to buy it with, i would probably buy his music

10:42 am

Haz1558

And he's clever as well.

10:46 am

crosshair

lol@ saying nothing in norther irelands cause everyone is everyone elses aunt..i guess the family tree is a straight stick? lol

10:52 am

uusue2

down to one blank tile...

10:52 am

crosshair

yaa for suze!

10:53 am

uusue2

of course I spent all morning whining that I wasn't getting anything done, and here I am not getting anything done :-(

11:00 am

Aloyisius

hi Babblers, opening chat and the list too.. 59 to find

11:00 am

Haz1558

Hello, Aloy. You've done well.

11:01 am

uusue2

hi aloy!

11:01 am

Aloyisius

hi Haz.. two sessions so far. Started this morning, went on a bird walk and came back to tackle it again .. hi uusue (-:

11:02 am

Haz1558

It makes se5/10. Sometimes you see things that were hiding on you before.

11:03 am

Aloyisius

true, you do.. but ty for your in8 great clue bc I didn't see that!

11:04 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked!

11:05 am

Haz1558

Well, time for me to head to the kitchen. Enjoy the grid and have a good day. Bye for now!

11:05 am

Aloyisius

now, my icon still appears as the sun to me.. yet I changed it for FM days ago.. and figured I would keep it that way for 52 days.. do you see the sun? My cache is not clearing, or something, a mystery to me.. Molly said she saw the sunset..

11:05 am

Haz1558

Yes, I see the sun. What a lovely thought.

11:05 am

Aloyisius

ciao, Haz

11:06 am

Aloyisius

h'mm.. I could try changing it again

11:06 am

Haz1558

It's the sunset I see, it's okay.

11:06 am

uusue2

I see the sunset, aloy, very nice

11:06 am

crosshair

i also see the sun

11:07 am

Haz1558

I forgot that you normally have a sun, didn't mean to confuse the issue.

11:07 am

Aloyisius

hi crossy.. and ty uusue.. kinda strange

11:07 am

Haz1558

Touch nothing!

11:07 am

Aloyisius

oh.. now I see your post.. ok, ty Haz

11:08 am

Haz1558

Right, off I go. Nice to see you all. Bye!

11:08 am

hagd, Haz

11:10 am

uusue2

bye, haz!

11:13 am

crosshair

mmmm..fresh carrot muffins...

11:14 am

crosshair

12 plain,12 with choc chunks

11:14 am

Aloyisius

the aroma is wonderful..

11:15 am

crosshair

when i am lazy i buy the quaker brand muffin mix,easy to use and no thinking required

11:16 am

Aloyisius

aargh, can't believe I didn't see the no4 on my face!

11:17 am

crosshair

i use my yorkshire pudding tins..nothing sticks to those nuw!

11:17 am

Aloyisius

not familiar with those, crossy.. must rely on paper liners

11:17 am

crosshair

lol aloy

11:18 am

crosshair

they are just old muffin tins that have been used for yorkshire puddings for last 20 years and are now so not stick that i do not need muffin papers

11:19 am

crosshair

non

11:19 am

Aloyisius

excellent! you don't spray them either?

11:19 am

crosshair

things are black as night and nothing sticks

11:20 am

crosshair

i give them a tiny rub with my finger dipped in peanut oil

11:20 am

crosshair

since peanut oil has not flavour of its own and can take high heat without smoking

11:20 am

Aloyisius

ok.. and what temp do you bake them at?

11:21 am

crosshair

i preheat pans a little and dump the batter in

11:21 am

crosshair

for muffins 375 f for yorkies 400f

11:21 am

Aloyisius

yum, that must make the insides nice and moist

11:21 am

crosshair

it does indeed

11:21 am

crosshair

but every oven has its own personality

11:22 am

Aloyisius

sigh, missed the flower pe5 too

11:22 am

crosshair

ty aloy

11:22 am

crosshair

family fights like starving dogs when i make my yorkies lol

11:23 am

Aloyisius

curly word

11:31 am

crosshair

there dinner prepped for tonight and tomorrow.marinated pork chops on the foreman grill,spiced fried taters done in olive oil and steamed veggies in a cheese sauce.tomorrow is fried rice with egg and veggies and leftover beef cut fine

11:32 am

Aloyisius

sounds great, crossy.. do you cook every night? hubby and I switch off.. tonight is my night and it will be "chicken ranchero", with veggies and salad

11:33 am

Aloyisius

and I'm thinking of making a banana pudding with the bananas off our tree

11:33 am

crosshair

my mrs has poor vision aloy and cooks only once in a while on her "good" days

11:34 am

Aloyisius

ah so.. best she not cook for safety reasons!

11:34 am

crosshair

she has a degenerative ey disease and is mostly stuck at 20/400 which is the top letter on an eye chart

11:34 am

crosshair

indeed aloy

11:35 am

Aloyisius

sorry to hear that, crossy.. a challenge she could do without!

11:35 am

crosshair

the foreman has been her savior,with its easy to use temp setting and being able to cook and sear meat without the oven or a lot of oils

11:36 am

crosshair

and it is more healthy

11:36 am

Aloyisius

those grills are wonderful.. saved my son from a lot of eat out expenses.. he did chicken, beef, cheese sandwiches, etc..

11:37 am

crosshair

yup works great on chicken,sausage,burgers etc etc

11:37 am

stidmama

hey all, taking a short break... no work today

11:37 am

crosshair

mine came with an extra flat plate as well as the ribed grilling plates

11:37 am

crosshair

howdy stidmama

11:38 am

crosshair

ribbed

11:38 am

Aloyisius

stid! nice to see you! yay for your break..

11:38 am

crosshair

it is i think a quesaldillia(sp) plate..not big up here but i hear it is made a lot down south

11:38 am

Aloyisius

love 'em, crossy..

11:39 am

stidmama

good afternoon aloyisius!

11:40 am

Aloyisius

how is teaching going, stid?

11:41 am

stidmama

When I have a job, it's not bad. The roughest one was last Friday, but I am confident that they have learned I keep my word and they won't challenge me so much the next time.

11:42 am

Aloyisius

oh boy, I subbed for seven years and know exactly what you mean

11:42 am

stidmama

I am very deliberately choosing (when I have a choice) middle school so I can refine my classroom management techniques. I am pretty sure this was a good decision, though it's a bit nerve-wracking in the moment

11:43 am

stidmama

oxase: a chemical that removes bovine patty stains from the lawn...

11:44 am

Aloyisius

I adopted a form of "assertive discipline".. and it worked, had lots of fun with the kids but kept classes on track too

11:44 am

Aloyisius

but being a middle school teacher?.. your halo is blinding me! and I admire you for it

11:45 am

stidmama

That is what I am trending toward, the kids are calmer when the sub seems to know what is going on. LOL middle school only because it's an exciting age to teach, I am not yet great at it, but I want to share my interests and excitement over language and history with kids who are ready for a challenge.

11:47 am

Aloyisius

rug rats... love them.. wear me out..

11:47 am

stidmama

help for NBT? the E in the second column, middle row please

11:48 am

Aloyisius

I have it, just have to fig. out which it is.. looking

11:48 am

stidmama

I like the little kids, but they require a more physical approach than I can do with my hip -- no rug time if I am teaching! LOL I might end up in the intermediate grades though, will go help in my friends' 4th-5th classrooms in a few minutes. I enjoy that age.

11:49 am

Aloyisius

oh, it is the chemical, en4

11:49 am

stidmama

hmmmm. *Thinking* thanks

11:49 am

stidmama

got it!

11:50 am

Aloyisius

en + L** for laughter on line

11:50 am

stidmama

fishy fish fish...

11:50 am

Aloyisius

yay, you got it

11:50 am

stidmama

how are you doing alyoisius? back in florida already?

11:50 am

Aloyisius

slap slap slap

11:50 am

Aloyisius

yes, stid.. back since the beg. of this month and glad to be here..

11:50 am

Aloyisius

lots of work but lots of fun too

11:51 am

Aloyisius

and best of all.. no SNOW

11:51 am

stidmama

LOL right now I wouldn't mind going south for a bit, it has been unseasonably cold here, and no precip to speak of. Which would be nice if I could get into the garden, but I can't do what needs doing by myself.

11:52 am

scouser

hi stidmam: love your definition of oxase !

11:52 am

stidmama

thanks scouser! it really ought to be a word, I think!

11:52 am

Aloyisius

well, since one of my favorite things is to dig in the dirt, I have lots of opportunities to do so here

11:53 am

Aloyisius

rats, tepoy, not tepoi

11:54 am

stidmama

I keep doing that too, Aloyisius, trying variants of unusual babblets.

11:54 am

scouser

PB for Aloyisius for his first word there

11:54 am

stidmama

LOL *puts cheese in PB for Aloyisius' wurd*

11:55 am

scouser

how about a babbwish list? babblets to be reserved for those that come up in the grid, babbwishes our own versions?

11:55 am

Aloyisius

found the last te 5.10... omgosh, >>>>>PB, sorry!

11:55 am

stidmama

I have to head out, though I would rather stay here an babble and get caught up on more housework... *sigh* being a responsible adult is NOT all it's cracked up to be! *poof*

11:55 am

Aloyisius

bye, stid.. tc, hagd!

11:56 am

cool.girl

clue 4 the 10 please

11:57 am

scouser

haz did a super clue earlier on: a plural version of a word meaning oblique inference often smutty

11:57 am

scouser

the ten begins with in

11:58 am

uusue2

ooh, very nice, scouser! thanks!

11:58 am

Aloyisius

the in10 ends with female deer.. starts with another word for tavern.. borrowing Haz's great clue idea.. next comes homonym for female sheep, then not the beginning

11:58 am

Aloyisius

and my clue is all mixed up, like my brain

11:58 am

MollyL

I can't say as I have ever heard of in8 that isn't smutty.

11:59 am

Aloyisius

hi there Molly

11:59 am

MollyL

Hey Aloy

12:00 pm

scouser

Hi uusue2 - I think that Great Red Spot must be a terrifying place. Does Jupiter have a solid surface somewhere under those clouds?

12:00 pm

bichon

Hi, back from power walk with fluffs. Warm and humid out

12:00 pm

Aloyisius

yay, found the chemical to7.. need some of that to get the candle wax out of my good table cloth

12:00 pm

Aloyisius

hi bichon

12:01 pm

cool.girl

ty everyone

12:01 pm

bichon

sue, saw that an earth like planet has been found. Not too near us though

12:01 pm

scouser

oops PB for self in second sentence. Taking parsley sauce with me.

12:01 pm

MollyL

We are in our second day of 60 degree temperatures. I'm loving it.

12:01 pm

scouser

only cos it is there on the stove

12:01 pm

uusue2

saw that too, bichon, only the first of many, I expect!

12:02 pm

MollyL

Parsley sauce???

12:02 pm

bichon

Unless we can figure out how to go at warp speed, we'll never see it

12:02 pm

scouser

in the school lab we used to clean watches and jewellery by hanging them over a beaker of to7/32 - the vapours did the work.

12:03 pm

uusue2

and scouser, Jupiter does have a small rocky core but it is covered by ice

12:04 pm

scouser

ty uusue even more terrifying then.

12:04 pm

uusue2

it is a very cold place and very windy

12:05 pm

scouser

MollyL - just for economy's sake and sandwiches.

12:05 pm

Aloyisius

fw send me off to do what needs to be done.. anyone need a clue before I go?

12:05 pm

uusue2

I still have no words from the e that is smack dab in the middle

12:06 pm

scouser

the second pi6/21 please

12:06 pm

Aloyisius

try e + NOT GO for es5

12:06 pm

bichon

don't have it scouser, but I'll look with you

12:07 pm

uusue2

thx, aloy! nbt!

12:08 pm

scouser

ty aloyisius incidentally the hawaian is not permitted in the plural - must have been so rare when Enable was written

12:08 pm

Aloyisius

yvw.. this grid was a nice mixture of easy and more challenging words

12:09 pm

Aloyisius

you're right, scouser

12:09 pm

uusue2

<-- has actually seen the hawaiian goose

12:09 pm

uusue2

(a pair of them, in fact)

12:09 pm

bichon

I've actually seen them in Hawaii

12:10 pm

Aloyisius

in Hawaii, uusue?

12:10 pm

uusue2

yes, in a small park part way up Haleakala

12:10 pm

bichon

That's where we saw them sue

12:10 pm

scouser

there are quite a number of the hawaians at Martin Mere bird sanctuary: they have twisty feather patterns on their long necks and are very tame.

12:10 pm

Aloyisius

well, I must go to Hawaii then, don't have that bird on my life list! LOL.. off I poof.. see you all next time.

12:10 pm

uusue2

they were, as I recall, fairly nondescript

12:11 pm

hello friends! I am babbling at work again - naughty naughty me!!!

12:39 pm

uusue2

hi, trif! me too!

12:40 pm

Trifioso

and....wait a minute...could it be?....

12:40 pm

Trifioso

woo hoo! NBT in 23 words!

12:40 pm

uusue2

yay, trif!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:40 pm

Trifioso

so far I am loving this grid! :)

12:42 pm

Trifioso

what do you do for work? uusue? I can't recall at the moment, I am so sorry!

12:43 pm

uusue2

physics professor

12:43 pm

uusue2

but it is final exam week, had an exam yesterday and one tomorrow

12:43 pm

uusue2

and one on Thursday

12:43 pm

uusue2

so I should be grading...

12:44 pm

Trifioso

oh, how lovely! My father in law, (God rest him) was a physics professor at Trinity in Dublin, and his brother is astro physicist

12:44 pm

uusue2

cool!

12:46 pm

Trifioso

very! are you in a university setting, or part of a lab of some kind?

12:46 pm

uusue2

university

12:46 pm

uusue2

used to do research at Fermilab and CERN

12:46 pm

Trifioso

excellent! if you ever get over to Trinity, I can hook you up with some very fun people :)

12:47 pm

uusue2

sounds good :-)

12:47 pm

Trifioso

how many exams have you to grade?

12:48 pm

uusue2

so far only 25

12:48 pm

uusue2

then 43 more tomorrow and another 11 on Thursday

12:48 pm

uusue2

but I am a bit behind on homework and class problems

12:48 pm

Trifioso

I guess that isn't too horrible. I went to Ohio State, and there were 738+ kids in my Classics class - we had to have a zillion TA's to slog through it all!

12:49 pm

uusue2

unfortunately I have TAs to teach the labs but none to grade

12:49 pm

Trifioso

oooh...bummer!

12:49 pm

uusue2

I mean, they grade the labs but not the exams

12:50 pm

uusue2

I am doing online homework now, the students hate it but I don't see how else to get it graded

12:50 pm

Trifioso

I understood. FWIW, my son LOVED his physics classes at school, and is actively looking for some to take in college. I figured it's genetic....

12:50 pm

uusue2

must be :-)

12:51 pm

Trifioso

he sure as heck didn't get it from me!

12:51 pm

uusue2

next semester I am teaching an honors seminar on the physics of sports - should be fun!

12:51 pm

Trifioso

that does sound like fun!

12:52 pm

snags

uusue, my grandson dislikes math. He finds it boring. :)

12:52 pm

Trifioso

as a speech and hearing science student I took the Physics of Audiology, which for whatever reason had the course number 501. A lot of my friends were DYING in physics 201, 202, etc, and they all thought I was some sort of freak genius to be taking 501. If they knew how dumbed down the class was, they would have peed themselves!

12:52 pm

uusue2

Arithmetic is boring. Higher math can get pretty interesting.

12:53 pm

snags

he is taking calculus right now....... doesnt like it at all.

12:53 pm

sammysmom

my monkey is rebelling,,,,,,,,,,, clue please for the ta 5/12 ?

12:54 pm

Trifioso

I appreciate the surety of most math, at least not the theoretical kind. In my work as a reading clinician, I have to try to explain words that don't "play fair" all the time - for example, why doesn't forty have a u in it? Why are Polish and polish two different words? You don't get that with numbers.

12:55 pm

snags

so true. my understanding is the english language is one of the hardest to learn for those very reasong tri.

12:55 pm

sammysmom

never mind- found it

12:55 pm

uusue2

my son didn

12:55 pm

uusue2

oops

12:55 pm

Trifioso

students here....see ya!

12:55 pm

Sugrraleona

ok sam, can you clue it? LOL

12:56 pm

uusue2

my son didn't like math either; I told him that once he got to physics (where he saw what it was good for) he might like it more

12:56 pm

uusue2

which he sort of does

12:56 pm

uusue2

anyway, bye, trif!

12:56 pm

snags

:) uu.

12:57 pm

snags

not sure what he will end up with a degree in. he is a college freshmen, but will be a 1st semester sophmore come jan.

12:57 pm

uusue2

ta5/12 is late but with a different end

12:57 pm

uusue2

ah, good for him, snags!

12:57 pm

uusue2

my son is half way through his sophomore year but is struggling

12:58 pm

snags

of college sue?

12:58 pm

bichon

what is he interested in studying sue?

12:58 pm

uusue2

right now he is an electrical engineering major but is thinking of adding (or switching to) English

12:58 pm

uusue2

yes, snags

12:59 pm

snags

ya know, at my age, I still don't know what I want to be.

12:59 pm

uusue2

he is having a lot of personal/emotional/organizational issues that are all piling up on him right now

12:59 pm

bichon

Many moons ago I started out as a Home Ec major [in college] and quickly switched to sociology. Science too difficult for me

12:59 pm

snags

oh oh sue.

1:00 pm

bichon

Does he go to therapy sue?

1:00 pm

uusue2

no, I have tried to get him to go but he doesn't stick with it

1:00 pm

uusue2

and he just turned 22 so it is pretty much up to him at this point

1:00 pm

snags

does he live on campus?

1:01 pm

bichon

It's tough to let go of them.

1:01 pm

uusue2

no, he lives with me, snags (about a mile off campus)

1:01 pm

snags

my grandson lives at home too. much cheaper to say the least.

1:02 pm

uusue2

he went away for a couple of years and got a professional degree in audio engineering, but didn't find a job

1:02 pm

snags

but he stilll has lots of college life.

1:02 pm

snags

aw sue. poor kid.

1:02 pm

uusue2

I get 1/2 off tuition for him, too, as I am on the faculty, which is good

1:02 pm

bichon

My son is his wife's problem now

1:02 pm

snags

absolutely sue.

1:03 pm

uusue2

my son is still recovering from a 4-year abusive relationship, so no girls in his life at the moment

1:03 pm

snags

oh no.

1:03 pm

snags

my g/d is coming off a relationship with a mind player.......

1:03 pm

bichon

How do you get on with him at home.

1:04 pm

uusue2

I talked about it in the chat a bit earlier in the summer - I am glad she is out of his life but he will be dealing with the consequences for a while

1:04 pm

uusue2

mostly ok, bichon, although we do have rough spots from time to time

1:04 pm

snags

want a hex put on her?? :)

1:05 pm

uusue2

I try to leave him alone (not micromanage his life), except that we have one car for the three of us, which makes things tricky

1:05 pm

bichon

that's not so bad. It's easier if there aren't major conflicts coming up frequently that make you uncomfortable

1:05 pm

bichon

My son is very difficult to live with. It's good he has a wife who does. And, the children aren't suffering

1:06 pm

snags

in what way bichon?

1:06 pm

uusue2

no, she's gone, snags, he just has to stay out of trouble long enough to get straight with the law (she assaulted him over the summer, blamed it on him, and got him arrested for battery - they will not prosecute as long as he stays out of trouble, though)

1:06 pm

snags

how dreadful for him.

1:07 pm

uusue2

it was horrible, and one of the things he's still dealing with emotionally

1:07 pm

bichon

My son is difficult in that he has no tact nor ability to compromise in his actions.

1:07 pm

bichon

But, he is a good father.

1:07 pm

snags

that would be tough bichon,.

1:08 pm

uusue2

ah, that can be tough, bichon

1:08 pm

snags

sue, we were on the same page.........:)

1:08 pm

uusue2

my son is actually a very gentle and thoughtful young man, and in no way deserved what happened to him (he was trying to be nice to her)

1:08 pm

uusue2

indeed, snags!

1:08 pm

bichon

But, he's turning 39, and we just need to get along. We'll be spending 10 days with them in Hawaii with the kids. Mostly I hang out with my d.i.l.

1:09 pm

snags

she played mind games on him too.

1:09 pm

snags

nice bichon.

1:09 pm

uusue2

he does, however, have ADD (I am pretty sure), and has not yet learned coping skills (has gotten away with it so far by being really smart)

1:09 pm

snags

has he always been this way bichon

1:10 pm

uusue2

hawaii should be a lot of fun, bichon! You should take a picture of the ne4 :-)

1:10 pm

bichon

Ever since his sister came into the picture when he was 5.

1:10 pm

bichon

I definitely will take pics of the nene and put them up as my icon

1:11 pm

uusue2

ha, sucked you into the PB, bichon! (didn't mean to, really!)

1:11 pm

snags

kids are really funny sometimes and i don't mean haha funny.

1:11 pm

bichon

My son has done exceptionally well academically and careerwise.

1:11 pm

bichon

Oops, off to the PB for me

1:11 pm

snags

what is his line of work?

1:12 pm

uusue2

and it sounds like he has a wonderful life partner, bichon - good for him!

1:12 pm

bichon

He does see a doctor who gives him an SSRI. It helps him to a degree

1:12 pm

bichon

I try to be as supportive and unargumentative with him

1:13 pm

snags

it's about all you can do bichon, if you want a relationship with him.

1:14 pm

bichon

They live in CA and mostly our contact is through Skype and visits several times a year.

1:14 pm

snags

I don't make a good mother in law nor does she make a good daughter in law. It's hard to be nice to her, but dear God, I try.

1:15 pm

uusue2

ok, gotta run, bbl!!

1:15 pm

snags

bye

1:15 pm

bichon

I get along with my d.i.l. I'm sympathetic and we both have a stong connection with the grandkids

1:16 pm

snags

you are lucky. I am not one of those clingy moms. She is the most disagreeable person but he has to live with her, not me!@!!

1:17 pm

bichon

My daughter and I are very close. We do have spats and she goes off in a huff, but it's a very satisfying relationship.

1:18 pm

snags

If I don't speak to her first, she ignores me until I break the silence which I always do. My husband can't believe she treats me this way. He can hardly stand it.

1:19 pm

snags

good for you bichon , your relationship with your daughter.

1:21 pm

bichon

I really make the effort to get along with my d.i.l. It's really important for my relationship with the grandkids. She updates me very frequently about that and it's important. I give her my opinion on things. She doesn't really always listen, but she always discusses

1:21 pm

bichon

My daughter is different. There is a great emotional attachment between us. She's adopted and she values having parents who really wlanted her.

1:22 pm

snags

I envy you your relationship with her. My sons wife is the biggest I in the world. It's all about her.

1:23 pm

snags

she is lucky to have you as a mom bichon.

1:23 pm

bichon

We've been blessed with her. But, she can be difficult. Thank heavens she's in her 30's and more reasonable.

1:24 pm

bichon

She calls me every night [or I her]. It's very comforting. And, she cares for our fluffs when we go away.

1:25 pm

snags

:) I have a daughter in her mid 40's that told me I had put my oldest granddaughter before her, (which I didn't) and so she has ignored me for nearly 2 years.

1:26 pm

snags

It saddens me....... but what can I do. She won't even talk to me on the phone. we live several states apart.

1:26 pm

bichon

oh no snags. That must be difficult for you to bear. But, I'm afraid we're hogging the chat log. If you want to email me it's muffinbiscuit@gmail.com

1:26 pm

snags

ty, and u are correct. later kiddo.

1:26 pm

i have a dr. appt soon.

1:51 pm

HarryHood

1:52 pm

flosey

i like that the virus almost looks like a chrsitmas ball when small in the icon - funny

2:41 pm

dcseain

my issues is particularly green peppers, not least when cooked with tomato

2:41 pm

dcseain

:)

2:41 pm

I make it with red peppers. The stomacj approves of them. They have to be ripe!

2:41 pm

kje

'tis the season...

2:41 pm

kje

i really do not like bell peppers in general, though the rest of the ingredients I love!

2:41 pm

dcseain

yes, ripe bell peppers i like and my stomach does not mind, even when combined with tomato

2:42 pm

dcseain

well, it can be made w/out the peppers

2:42 pm

hootowl

well you could probably leave them out

2:42 pm

hootowl

Glad I found someone besides me with that problem - hi dc

2:42 pm

dcseain

hi, hoot.

2:43 pm

dcseain

hot peppers i don't care if green or ripe. Bell peppers, my body cares a lot.

2:43 pm

hootowl

Being Italian, we eat alot of peppers. Took me years to figure out what was going in

2:44 pm

dcseain

Hungarians eat a lot of peppers too.

2:44 pm

dcseain

took me years to understand why i liked stuffed cabbage but not stuffed peppers

2:44 pm

lbdawger

try not eating the skin. i can't eat green bell peppers, but the other colors aren't as painful

2:45 pm

hootowl

I also have a problem with crab-stuffed shrimp and oregano/lemon mixes. Can eat them separately but NOT together

2:45 pm

hootowl

yellows * oranges are ripe

2:45 pm

MollyL

Ugh, yes they do. My girlie-in-laws family is Hungarian. Every dish they have ever sent over has been LOADED with peppers.

2:46 pm

hootowl

yellows & orange peppers

2:46 pm

lynxxx

Hooray - other people don't like cooked capsicum (our name for bell peppers) - though I like it raw

2:46 pm

dcseain

my issue is green bell pepper in any form, and especially when cooked with tomato

2:46 pm

dcseain

yellow, red, orange, purple, white, no problem

2:47 pm

lbdawger

i like raw red bells, but have to remember to not eat too many

2:47 pm

lbdawger

i agree, dc. doesn't add anything to the tomatoe.

2:48 pm

hootowl

the tomato probably releases what ever it gives off. We did peppers & egg sanwiches. Now I use red even in salads raw

2:48 pm

lbdawger

white bell peppers?

2:48 pm

dcseain

Yes, bell peppers ripen to a whole rainbow of colors

2:49 pm

dcseain

red, orange, yellow common, purple becoming moreso, white still rather rare, at least based on what i see in stores here

2:49 pm

hootowl

lots of new varieties and some heirlooms

2:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

red bell peppers= good. Green bell peppers=not so good.

4:29 pm

cybernan

anyone know what the 9 or 10 is? -- maybe a combo?

4:30 pm

aebmusica

clue for ae6...please

4:31 pm

scribekd

the 9 & 10 aren't a combo but are diff spellings of the same word-starts with in8/50; in10/84; in9/66

4:31 pm

scribekd

don't have ae6 yet-sorry

4:34 pm

cybernan

hmm -- found the in 8

4:34 pm

scribekd

make 2 plurals for 10 the 9

4:35 pm

cybernan

no -- the in 9, but how to make it a 10?

4:35 pm

scribekd

*then** the 9

4:36 pm

scribekd

add an extra vowel before the last letter

4:37 pm

cybernan

I must have a different in 9 because that didn't work

4:37 pm

scribekd

oh-you have the last in9 it is 9/54

4:38 pm

cybernan

only vowel available is the o

4:38 pm

scribekd

the other ones-in8 & 10 & 9 are a word that is used to imply something about another-usually like gossip

5:09 pm

aebmusica

anyone find a clue for the ae6......please

Kaplan the Magne

I think I am in the early stages of being harrassed by a client- yuck.

5:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Got to head this off at the pass.

5:28 pm

westford

need a posse kap?

5:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have to at least start locking my back door.

5:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

not scary- yet.

5:37 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

5:37 pm

westford

hi sue

5:38 pm

uusue2

how are you, west?

5:39 pm

westford

not bad..just met with a team of nurses and social workers to spring my mom from the nursing home

5:40 pm

uusue2

oh, that's right! How is she taking it all?

5:40 pm

westford

she is very anxious to come home

5:40 pm

uusue2

hope you can get her there soon!

5:40 pm

westford

they are looking at mid Jan

5:41 pm

westford

got a ramp built..big enough for a chariot

5:41 pm

uusue2

mid jan seems like a long time

5:42 pm

westford

it's a new program and she's only the 2nd one in the state

5:42 pm

westford

we have to take it one day at a time

5:43 pm

westford

how is your amazing dad doing?

5:43 pm

uusue2

he is doing really well although I need to call him again

5:43 pm

uusue2

my stepmother died a week ago Sunday

5:44 pm

westford

I just saw that. Very nice pic of the 2 of you

5:44 pm

uusue2

she wasn't talking to him any more, of course, but he was still trying to take care of her, at least financially; he is a very tough old guy and seems fine but I do want to stay in touch

5:44 pm

westford

so sorry for your loss

5:45 pm

westford

did they ever get divorced?

5:45 pm

uusue2

I don't know if it was ever final

5:45 pm

uusue2

but they did have a court date

5:45 pm

westford

that whole thing was so strange

5:45 pm

uusue2

she had asked for it to be expedited due to her poor health (really weird, like she was in a big hurry to get divorced before she died)

5:46 pm

westford

that was weird..how long had they been married?

5:46 pm

uusue2

the lawyers were still talking about the financial settlement, thouugh, so I suspect it may not have been quite final

5:46 pm

uusue2

35 years

5:47 pm

westford

oh my

5:48 pm

westford

was it nearly a year ago that he broke his leg?

5:48 pm

uusue2

yes, it was in january

5:48 pm

westford

time flies

5:48 pm

uusue2

and she left in February, just before he got out of the rehab center

5:48 pm

uusue2

I think she realized how much she depended on him and then panicked when he wasn't there

5:49 pm

westford

probably

5:49 pm

uusue2

anyway it is over now, and he is doing great both emotionally and physically

5:49 pm

westford

he made such an amazing recovery though

5:50 pm

uusue2

I tried to talk to him about what he will do when he can't live by himself any more. Ha.

5:50 pm

uusue2

he says he figures he's good to stay in the house for another 5-10 years.

5:51 pm

westford

sounds like my father-in-law it was interesting when he finally had to move to assisted living

5:51 pm

uusue2

yeah, interesting is a good way to put it

5:52 pm

westford

a kind way lol

5:52 pm

westford

but that randy old goat found his way into the bed of another patient at 87

5:52 pm

uusue2

hopefully he will not decline slowly, that would be very hard on him and on me

5:52 pm

uusue2

lol, west!

5:53 pm

westford

the nurse told him he had to get back to his own room and the woman whacked her with her cane

5:54 pm

uusue2

good for them!

5:54 pm

westford

hope springs eternal

5:55 pm

westford

I think the end started for Wild Bill when you couldn't drive anymore

5:55 pm

uusue2

well, and it should be their own business (as long as no one is getting hurt)

5:55 pm

uusue2

yes, my dad is still driving, and really depends on being able to do that

5:55 pm

westford

definitely..just the nurse

5:56 pm

westford

meant to say when he couldn't drive

5:57 pm

uusue2

it is hard not being close enough to keep an eye on him; I have to depend on his neighbors and friends

5:57 pm

westford

I have 45 words left and there are no more..might have to list

5:57 pm

westford

would he consider moving closer to you?

5:58 pm

uusue2

nope

5:58 pm

westford

nice that he has good neighbors then

5:58 pm

uusue2

indeed :-)

5:59 pm

westford

just hope he's not going to shoveling this winter

5:59 pm

uusue2

there are a couple of places in his area that he might consider but he REALLY likes to be left alone; the idea of being in some kind of group situation is anathema to him

6:00 pm

uusue2

no, he has people who take care of the yard in summer and the driveway in winter

6:00 pm

westford

as long as there is a computer you're never alone..

6:01 pm

uusue2

well, he doesn't have internet at home, he goes to the library for that

6:01 pm

westford

I can't wait to get my mom back on line

6:02 pm

uusue2

I wish he did have internet at home but that was another losing battle

6:02 pm

uusue2

I did get him to promise to keep his cell phone on him so he could call for help if needed

6:02 pm

westford

that is too bad..bet he'd love it

6:03 pm

uusue2

he likes it ok at the library, just doesn't want it at home

6:03 pm

westford

we could get him on babble

6:03 pm

uusue2

I suggested that :-)

6:03 pm

uusue2

he says he doesn't like to join things

6:04 pm

westford

maybe we could fix him up with jilli

6:04 pm

uusue2

anyway he is happy, so not likely to change

6:04 pm

uusue2

there you go, west :-)

6:04 pm

westford

that's the most important thing

6:06 pm

uusue2

anyway I had better go get some grading done. I hope things go well with your mom and that you get her home soon!

6:07 pm

westford

thanks sue and if I don't see you again have a wonderful time in Israel

6:08 pm

westford

I'm very envious

6:10 pm

Nef

think of another word for moon: there is a *****r calendar

7:05 pm

stidmama

hey all! chicken in the pot, needs to cook for a while before I debone it. Laundry is FOLDED *proud mama look* and I even did a few dishes already. Not a total loss for the day, if somewhat unproductive.

7:06 pm

stidmama

kje, that is a beautiful icon

7:06 pm

Nef

hi stid

7:06 pm

stidmama

viruses are so intricate and interesting, I think

7:06 pm

LuvWordGames

hi stid

7:08 pm

if one catches cold one can be comforted by the fact that it's pretty blue with stars.

7:09 pm

stidmama

7:09 pm

mab

7:11 pm

stidmama

7:17 pm

kje

just thought it was pretty... and in the small icon pic looks like a christmas tree ball decoration

7:17 pm

gapeach

Nef, your clue was great....I just couldn't focus on it.

7:18 pm

kje

seemed appropriate for the season

7:18 pm

redturtlehead

I've mostly been killing people....I suppose it is the season.

7:18 pm

kje

i've done that, gap... I'll just leave the clue for a bit and eventually it usually kicks in

7:19 pm

kje

well, red... you should prob work on that

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

I think it's a job hazard. The organ donation people are now on a first name basis with me. I need a "fast track" assignment!

7:19 pm

stidgmere

7:20 pm

kje

7:20 pm

stidmama

stidmama

yes, Mother?

7:20 pm

redturtlehead

yes one patient was actually 100 yrs old!

7:20 pm

stidmama

wow red, that's a pretty advanced age.

7:20 pm

Nef

red, did you say you're killing people now? Tough week or ????

7:20 pm

redturtlehead

It has been a terrible week nef!

7:21 pm

stidmama

I think that I will be lucky to see half that.

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

But all in all, I now have 2 days off so I will go back to lurkdom....

7:21 pm

kje

hang in there red... some weeks are like that... even in australia

7:21 pm

stidmama

***gentle hugs for red***

**offer choclits and a hot tub vacation**

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

Indeed. In good news, I am attempting my first race since the surgery this Saturday night.

7:22 pm

rururocks

ae 6 anyone?

7:22 pm

Nef

7:22 pm

kje

how far red... and do you have permission

7:22 pm

stidmama

7:22 pm

7:23 pm

rururocks

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

Nef

SEMI permission??? What does that mean?

7:24 pm

kje

7:24 pm

rururocks

cream based or stock?

7:24 pm

stidmama

oh oh... *hides from nef*

7:24 pm

kje

stock but cream at the end

7:24 pm

rururocks

lots of sherry?

7:25 pm

redturtlehead

the PT would prefer I did not do it, but I am doing it, so he told me to stop if it hurts. I have run the distance, so I think I will be fine. He would prefer I didnt do a lot of things but

7:25 pm

kje

not lots

7:25 pm

Nef

sorry; I didn't mean to sound harsh; just wooried

7:25 pm

rururocks

oh.. a Pinot would be best then

7:25 pm

stidmama

okay, very lame, I only JUST saw the large cat...

7:25 pm

kje

usual mushroom soup amount

7:25 pm

rururocks

medium weight pinot

7:25 pm

kje

ty

7:26 pm

redturtlehead

I am fine, I think he thinks I will race it, but I am just jogging it...all is well. PT is sort of cautious...but since I can run that distance, I figure I should be alright.

7:26 pm

crosshair

ruru,i still need to send you something just give me an addy please

7:26 pm

rururocks

what do you have in the cellar?

7:27 pm

kje

only one bottle of pinot... so would need a couple more

7:27 pm

rururocks

i'll write to you right now crossy

7:27 pm

Nef

jogging is okay, then; I worry that because of the bad week you might compete too hard. Please don't do that ((nurses are weird, as we both know...)

7:28 pm

kje

but have several rhone blends, sangiovese, cab, zins... then the whites you had recommended last spring and some italian whites i had sent home, and cava

7:29 pm

stidmama

*Mind boggles at variety in kje's cellar* I think I have a domestic white wine around somewhere... probably a dessert wine since that's what my juvenile palate prefers. *sigh* I am SO not cosmopolitan!

7:29 pm

rururocks

you might try the Mueller 2007 Russian RIver... not the single vineyard wines but his simple russian river.. it's great for the $$

7:29 pm

crosshair

jogging is but a dream to me,bursitis and bone on bone make it a fantasy

7:29 pm

kje

i have no cellar, stid... but do have a wine fridge

7:29 pm

kje

i have no cellar, stid... but do have a wine fridge

7:30 pm

rururocks

<--has two wine cellars

7:30 pm

redturtlehead

Oh No, The race is very small, no need to compete, as it is, it appears i am gaurenteed 1st or 2nd place in the race, I feel good about it.

7:30 pm

redturtlehead

Ruru and kje are special wine people.

7:30 pm

stidmama

I have two fridges and a freezer... and a pantry. And the route to the grocery stores memorized.

7:30 pm

kje

<---- may sneek into ru's cellars and abscond with a bottle or two

7:31 pm

kje

not at all, red... just know what i like

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

Ok I have to go to bed.... closes eyes as KJE sneaks by!

7:31 pm

kje

7:31 pm

rururocks

7:31 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams, red. (((Hugs)))

7:32 pm

kje

(less fun with an invite)

7:32 pm

stidmama

oh! cross!!! wanted to ask if you have ever had "shoulder bacon" and if you have what the best way to use it would be???

7:32 pm

Nef

niters, red. Tomorrow is relax day!

7:33 pm

kje

i wish i had a really good cookie

7:34 pm

kje

or a pecan bar

7:34 pm

kje

and a cup of coffee

7:34 pm

kje

that didn't require me to move

7:34 pm

stidmama

I have pecans, apparently you have the bar, shall we join forces?

7:35 pm

rururocks

7:35 pm

stidmama

7:35 pm

kje

pecans were expensive this year, stid!

7:35 pm

kje

I am ru, it is cold here and I am in PJs and under down so loathe to move

7:36 pm

stidmama

it was not a good year in general for any southern crop

7:36 pm

kje

lol stid... he would NEVER call YOU that

7:36 pm

stidmama

he would if he had observed me this morning... *sigh* it took me FOREVER to get myself going.

7:36 pm

rururocks

stid.? no.. you work plenty hard and study hard

7:36 pm

kje

we usually pick them up off my brother's property but his trees didn't really produce this year

7:37 pm

Jacula

JemMO16 - the 'x' is used 8 times in this grid.

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

Don't you mean 530 pf them?

10:12 pm

Jacula

No, Herin, though it may seem like it.:-)

10:13 pm

herinfernallady

I was just getting the mail and doing the last of my aggravating tasks.

10:14 pm

Jacula

I should be asleep but I went to bed really early last night and so am not tired now. My cold virus has nearly gone now, though. I've felt much better today.

10:15 pm

Jacula

What aggravating tasks, Herin?

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

Cleaning the moving fan and the manky dishwashing liquid bottle.

10:15 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay. LOL

10:16 pm

herinfernallady

Just annoying things. The fan was dusty as all sin. The dish washing liquid bottle is one I have recycled and fill up from a clunky big bottle. The label was all yuk

10:17 pm

Jacula

Aggravating to me, is cleaning up cat sick, especially if I stepped in it with bare feet first... or cleaning the deep fat fryer, that sort of thing.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Herin - I'm amazed the label hasn't fallen off by now.

10:18 pm

herinfernallady

The label came off with acetone

10:18 pm

herinfernallady

No aggravating is waking up from an awesome dream about being so rich it wasn't funny and going into the bathroom to tread in cat wee

10:18 pm

Jacula

We need to move the cooker out and clean around and behind it - there's enough cat hair in there for me to knit a new cat, as I said to Beloved earlier!

10:19 pm

herinfernallady

With the cooker can I make a suggestion

10:19 pm

Jacula

I'd rather tread in cat wee than cat vomit!

10:19 pm

Jacula

Cooker, suggestion - do go on...

10:19 pm

herinfernallady

You know the Christmas gift wrap tubes?

10:20 pm

Jacula

Yes...

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

Well you get one of those and attach it to the vacuume tube.

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

Use that tube to get behind the cooker

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

and apparently you can use it to get under the fridge too

10:21 pm

Jacula

I've got a long pipe attachment but it doesn't work when the cat hair is stuck on by grease and smoking residue.:-((

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

Would the paper tube idea work?

10:22 pm

Jacula

I don't know why there's so much grease, since I hardly fry anything. This kitchen seems to be a grease magnet. I noticed that before we even moved in here and me and my Mum and my friend spend 3 days cleaning it up.

10:23 pm

Jacula

Unfortunately, no. Herin. But thanks for the suggestion.

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Our bathroom is a dust magnet. This house drives me nuts.

10:25 pm

Jacula

Yes, this house gets far more dust in it than the house I had in the same village before. Of course, we have pets in this house and kids, and far more electrical stuff than we had in the old house over 30 yers ago, but even so...

10:25 pm

Jacula

I think the upsurge in traffic on the nearby motorway is also contributing.

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

I am dreading the plans for the lot across the road.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Why - what's happening?

10:31 pm

herinfernallady

big lot. Church has been decommisioned. So has the pastors house

10:32 pm

Jacula

Oh, by 'lot' you mean plot of land?

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

it is about 2 house blocks wide and we have long lots too

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

yes

10:32 pm

Jacula

I thought you mean 'people'. LOL

10:33 pm

Jacula

It'll probably end up being a superstore?

10:33 pm

herinfernallady

no

10:33 pm

Jacula

What then?

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

No it will be appartments

10:34 pm

Jacula

I suppose it depends what kind of apartments, i.e. who will be occupying them?

herinfernallady

The Saffron appartments are right on a plot of land that is on the Train line. The other side is going to be a supermarket too. So you can imagine how busy it is going to be

10:42 pm

herinfernallady

Hi ga

10:42 pm

Jacula

Herin - reading the description, they'll have professional people in them who are hardly ever home. But the supermarket doesn't sound so good opposite your home.

10:43 pm

flosey

ae6 - sounds like your rectum but strung out

10:43 pm

herinfernallady

It will be around the corner but still grr. Single lane roads

10:43 pm

TO - sounds like a Latin way of spelling rectum.

10:43 pm

Jacula

in9 and 10 are plurals of Flosey's clue. TO.

10:46 pm

ha6 sounds like the word to mean occur but ends with a number

10:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

poilu

10:53 pm

Jacula

gap - ha6/24 = mayha*, I might give you a clue, then at the number after nine.

10:53 pm
