oh? anything you can share?

9:28 am

hi, haz!

Haz1558

Yes, a bit of a long story....

9:28 am

hurshy

what is babble chat for if not long stories?

9:29 am

hurshy

ok clues, but, long stories too.

9:29 am

Haz1558

I'm secretary for the speech and drama section of our local festival. Today, one of the poets whose poem is in the syllabus, contacted me to say that he would be in NI at the time and could he visit the festival. My dream would be to get him along to listen to the 10 year old boys saying his poem and then announce to them - here's who wrote it.

9:30 am

hurshy

oh how nice!

9:30 am

uusue2

that is really exciting, haz!

9:30 am

Haz1558

I just think it would be so fun if we can get it to work.

9:32 am

hurshy

well if he already has indicated that he wants to come then i should think you would be able to

9:32 am

doseffing

... off the walls suggestion ... ... maybe he could read something they wrote

9:33 am

uusue2

ok, off to work, bbl!

9:33 am

Haz1558

It's just that I haven't drawn up the programme yet so it may or may not be convenient for him to visit at that exact time. We'll see.

9:33 am

hurshy

have struggled my way to 80%... what have we got in the way of a list today?

9:33 am

hurshy

well why don't you see when he can be there and schedule that part of the programme accordingly?

9:33 am

doseffing

... lickety

9:34 am

hurshy

ty dos

9:34 am

Haz1558

I'l definitely try to tailor it to suit him, I've e-mailed him and we'll keep fingers crossed it can work out.

9:35 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness there are quite a few entries for his class - major egg on face if nobody had wanted to say the poem.

9:37 am

rururocks

that would put a bee in his sonnet I guess

9:37 am

hurshy

lol

9:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, ruru.

9:38 am

rururocks

good afternoon Haz.. great to see you here

9:39 am

Haz1558

I bet you say that to all the girls.

9:39 am

rururocks

yes.. sure.. but only the ones I like a lot

9:40 am

Haz1558

*preening* How are you?

9:40 am

rururocks

i'm fine.. i've scheduled my surgery for early Feb.. and will hopefully be back on my feet by March or april

9:41 am

Haz1558

I'm pleased to hear it. You'll not know yourself when you're free of pain.

9:41 am

hurshy

tip: take consonants and alternate with A's, you will get several sixes and some pl for sevens that way.

9:41 am

Haz1558

How long will you be in hospital?

9:41 am

rururocks

that'd be nice

9:42 am

rururocks

3 days they are saying

9:42 am

Haz1558

That's not too long and it will be so worth it in the end.

9:43 am

rururocks

yes.. I think so too..just scary for me.. all new experience

9:44 am

Haz1558

I'm sure it will be fine.

9:44 am

Haz1558

Is it the anaesthetic that scares you or just the feeling of being under someone else's control?

9:45 am

rururocks

this is sure a confusing grid

9:45 am

Haz1558

It's the sort of grid where even though you know you haven't been drinking, it would nearly make you think you had.

9:45 am

rururocks

being knocked out and under someone's control.. my uncle died on the operating table a year ago

9:46 am

Haz1558

I can sympathise - my aunt died at the end of November, but she was having major heart surgery.

9:47 am

uusue2

((((ruru))))

9:47 am

rururocks

he was having minor surgery.. jeez

9:47 am

uusue2

it is indeed scary, but the vast majority of these things are very successful - I am sure you will be fine

9:47 am

Haz1558

But you're younger than him.

9:47 am

uusue2

are you having a total knee replacement?

9:47 am

rururocks

yes...that's true...

9:48 am

rururocks

this is where I don't want to be in the 1% Sue..LOL

9:49 am

uusue2

it's more like 0.0001%, I suspect...

9:49 am

uusue2

complications do happen (I've had some myself) but fatal ones are rare

9:50 am

rururocks

who would carry on the sick puns here if I was gone.. we have things to consider

9:50 am

Haz1558

And the chances are that you'll sail through. I put off having gall bladder surgery for ages and afterwards wondered why I'd delayed - it was a breeze compared to what I'd built it up to in my mind.

9:50 am

uusue2

really, ruru!! You perform an essential function here and cannot be replaced!

9:51 am

Haz1558

Maybe the anaesthetic will have the effect of wiping all desire for punnery from your brain.

9:51 am

rururocks

oh..wouldn't that make a few people happy here..lol

9:51 am

uusue2

well, I've had my gall bladder removed and also had my knees replaced - the knees are a lot worse, no fun at all. But after the rehab it is a LOT better (that is, I can walk now)

9:52 am

Haz1558

Tell them none of the laughing gas in case it makes you worse (at the punning).

9:52 am

rururocks

lol

9:52 am

does anyone have a clue for the last ta 5/10...the one right after the fish sauce?

MLK was yesterday. "Snowmageddon" today -- or what passes for it out here. we have had about 6 inches over the last 24 hours, of which 3 inches are still slowly melting. A major storm expected tonight, so likely no school tomorrow either. And then back to normal, with rain.

11:26 am

stidmama

well, we had a bunch of bananas from costco and I did my best, but there were too many for me to eat so we used the extras. I love banana bread. We make ours with applesauce, so it's really double-yummy

11:29 am

cybernan

levage?

11:29 am

stidmama

this side of the mountains often does not get much snow. Accumulations of more than a couple inches are hard because we don't have sufficient plows and sanders to get all the non-city areas. Our road has had neither plow nor sand in the 12 years we've been here. We are often the last people to get out after a major storm (this one really isn't major)

11:30 am

i can share a paperback i bought last week,but i will nor be able to share this file

12:28 pm

is sharing that file with you any worse or better than handing you the same thing in hardcover to read?

12:30 pm

MollyL

The problem is, the number of people you can "share" with multiplies significantly when you "share" via the internet. Same goes with music file sharing.

12:30 pm

therin lies the problem,all those cassette tapes of songs i recorded off the radio in the 80,s are also illegal then

Technically they are, if you try and sell them.

12:30 pm

crosshair

of course it does,if you read my hardcover in one day,you might let your friend sally read it before returning it also

12:31 pm

crosshair

ahh,but what if i sell none of it?

12:31 pm

crosshair

what number is too many then,myself,you and sally,or more? or less?

12:32 pm

MollyL

I don't think personal use is an issue here. This is reminiscent of people who copy and "share" movies.

12:32 pm

crosshair

then that division must be made clear

12:33 pm

crosshair

for acrchival and personal would be fine,not so for running off 100 copies and selling them at the flea market

12:33 pm

crosshair

(which is huge in china btw)

12:42 pm

crosshair

as an author or singer,you will have to embrace the new formats,offer your book free for example in a basic text format for free,then also offer it in e pub with full illistrations and a leather bound hardcover both for a fee.and the potential audience is now global as you say,so instead of gutting the customer at 30 dollars for each hardcover and selling 500,000,do micro payments and sell 6 million copies.the way we write,publish,collect payment and read is going to change

12:42 pm

crosshair

lol..crossy gets off the soap box

12:44 pm

westford

good afternoon all back for a few more

12:45 pm

crosshair

it is how radio has run for over a century,they play songs to you for free and can stay on the air from ad revenue,but what the singer gets is you wishing to go out and buy the cd or see the singer live.it is a little nibble for free

12:45 pm

lilliann

hi all back with a full belly and fw!!

12:45 pm

crosshair

howdy westford,welcome to the crossy soap box minute:)

12:46 pm

hi lil nice to see you

12:46 pm

crosshair

rant starts at 12:14 lol

12:46 pm

lilliann

i thought it was illegal here to record songs of the radio crossy, but we all did it in the 80's when we use to record the top 20

12:46 pm

crosshair

we did indeed

12:47 pm

lilliann

12:49 pm

crosshair

12:49 pm

hego

yes

12:50 pm

lilliann

and as you say if you've bought a book whether it be for an ebook or paperback, why can't you share it, but i suppose if it's a paperback you only have it for a while(unless you don't give it back) but an ebook you get to keep for good so authors don't get their royalties & the book companies lose out

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

I am shocked about the whole thing which is getting a lot of coverage here

12:51 pm

Aaronitor

Sea it was on last night. You can catch it on Hulu or probably the ABC web site.

4:38 pm

periwinkle

saw the clue for ar5 ty

4:38 pm

negativeneil

Hi cos. :)

4:39 pm

kje

4:39 pm

periwinkle

ty Jax,thought I had tried that one

4:48 pm

cosdem

first ra5/10 please?

4:48 pm

JaxH

Part of a circle

4:49 pm

cosdem

isnt that the ra5/12 though?

4:50 pm

MollyL

I wonder why Hulu is not consistent with it's closed captioning. Considering the ADA, it would seem everything that is broadcast should be captioned.

4:50 pm

JaxH

Sorry yes it is. Ra 5/10 lift up

4:50 pm

kje

ra + sun skin color

4:50 pm

kje

oops - or ra5 - to lift up

4:51 pm

cosdem

ok lemme think.. thanks....

4:51 pm

cosdem

Molly -- Captions is not under ADA

4:52 pm

cosdem

but congress passed a new law last year.. the telecommunications captioning act... which requires services like cnn, netflix etc. to provide captions. it takes effect later this year

4:52 pm

MollyL

The ra5/12 is half the measure of a circle, plural

4:53 pm

cosdem

netflix is in the process of inserting subtiles in their streaming movies.. right now there are 74 pages worth of movies on netflix. i was able to watch all 3 seasons of Merlin on it.

4:53 pm

cosdem

duh that ra5/10 was a fish.. thanks kje and jax

4:53 pm

MollyL

I thought Merlin had a lot of potential but seemed to lack in the writing department.

4:53 pm

kje

bbl

4:54 pm

cosdem

it's fun to watch though.

4:54 pm

cosdem

a fun drinking game would be to have a shot every time gaius says "indeed" or when uther says "this is the work of magic"

4:57 pm

cosdem

wow i totally monkeyed the sa6/21 on my first try

5:00 pm

Kazzer99

evening all - this grid is really hard tonight

5:00 pm

cosdem

5:01 pm

MollyL

Merlin was a real stretch on Camelot legend too. Kind of a re-write.

5:01 pm

cosdem

sq6 please?

5:01 pm

cosdem

yeah molly i see a lot of inconsitenties but it's still fun.

5:03 pm

MollyL

Well, considering Merlin raised Aurthur, I would say there are inconsistencies. : P

5:03 pm

cosdem

never mind found it

5:03 pm

cosdem

lol yes.. the starz series camelot is also... eh... merlin didn't raise arthur in that series either

5:05 pm

MollyL

Oh rats, I was hoping the Starz series was better. I'll just have to keep watching "Mists Of Avalon" : )

5:05 pm

cosdem

5:40 pm

MollyL

Hi Jilli, how is your ankle healing?

5:41 pm

jillibus

hi Molly -- it's hard to tell! I get x-rays on Feb 2.

5:41 pm

jillibus

Hi gmere!

5:42 pm

MollyL

I hope it's healing up well and that you have lots of people to help you out while it does.

5:42 pm

jillibus

or has she left too?

5:43 pm

jillibus

Yes, thanks, Molly -- I have Home Support and Home Nurse visits and a great neighbour who does shopping.

5:47 pm

jillibus

Well, I have other things to do so I think IÃ¨ll go and do them. And my keyboard is acting up again. That Ã¨ was supposed to be an apostrophe. Anyone know how to fix itÃ‰

5:48 pm

jillibus

That Ã‰ was supposed to me a question mark.

5:48 pm

jillibus

*to be

5:48 pm

stidgmere

Got back and saw your message, Jilli. Good to see you were back on Babble!

5:49 pm

jillibus

Hi gmere! Glad to see youÃ¨re obeying MurphyÃ¨s Law. Sorry about my keyboard antics.

5:49 pm

stidgmere

Glad to hear you are healing and have some help coming to you now. What a bore, ankles. Who needs them? apparently us.

5:50 pm

stidgmere

We find we're at wits end much of the time but Murphy knows what to do.

5:51 pm

jillibus

I must have hit a wrong key somehow -- wish I knew which one.

5:56 pm

jillibus

Well, goodbye to anyone here, although I seem to be alone...*poof

6:01 pm

stidgmere

Got in a rut looking for words. Neglecting my northern friend. Sorry.

6:04 pm

stidgmere
