hey, I put the list into Excel the other night for the first time, as per ARB instructions via Dee, and when I copied/pasted it, wound up with big spaces between the two letters and the two stat numbers, too - is there a trick to it?
1:53 am
VolleymomDee

rb let me see my list again...
1:54 am
rbud

maybe I did something I shouldn't have, need more practice. :)
1:54 am
VolleymomDee

• Copy word list into an Excel spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 5 columns (because of ? for dictionary).
• Then insert a column after the word.
• Then write a formula in the first line after the word, example - " =left($B1,2)" (the $ makes the formula absolute)
• Then copy the formula all the way down (put cursor in bottom right of the top cell with the formula and drag down to end of word list).
• Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points

s'pose it's all empty in here now, was going to ask for ideas on how to use up a bag of lemons I was given free today... not really enough to go to the effort of making lemonade, not much of a drinker... can't say I've ever owned a whole bag of lemons before, lol! :P
2:11 am
rbud

wonder if I can juice them and freeze them in cubes...
2:12 am
SueMagee

Lemon curd, rbud?
2:13 am
rbud

not sure what that is - a dessert? or an ingredient
2:13 am
SueMagee

Used instead of jam - it's a sharp lemon conserve. We love it on crumpets.

3:56 am

I'm good. Should be in bed but this is more fun lol
3:56 am

I did it without any clues from the chog but also with no chatting....
3:56 am
westford

it's not a bad grid..left with 16 to go
3:57 am
rubyfoo

I only have 5 more minutes. poor old Burt is in pain from his back and I can't get the doctor who has promised to come, twice!
3:57 am
westford

did the physician see burt?
3:57 am
westford

you just answered my question
3:57 am
rubyfoo

he keeps saying he'll be here, but then doesn't come
3:57 am
westford

he'll probably just tell him to rest
3:58 am
rubyfoo

I've called him a couple of times, sent an e-mail, etc., but I'm afraid to give him my (stronger) pain pills because of his heart meds
3:58 am
westford

yes not a good idea to mix meds
3:58 am
rubyfoo

so he's taking paracetemol which only helps a little and for a short time
3:58 am
westford

and he's still lifting things?
3:59 am
rubyfoo

when is your next trip, you lucky?
3:59 am
rubyfoo

yes, insists on doing all his usual chores
3:59 am
rubyfoo

and then goes "ou ou ou"
3:59 am
westford

men!!
4:00 am
rubyfoo

he's pretty brave about pain (or has a high threshhold), but is really suffering now and is very depressed
4:00 am
westford

back problems are not fun
4:01 am
westford

what trip?
4:01 am
rubyfoo

I have a chronic back problem, but manage it with my meds and care in lifting and standing
4:01 am
rubyfoo

it's just that I see you as a world traveller
4:02 am
westford

used to be in my younger days with kids in tow..now I don't even like to get on a plane
4:02 am
westford

used to be so much fun to fly
4:02 am
rubyfoo

I barely leave the house except to go out for lunch
4:02 am
rubyfoo

that's how I feel about planes now
4:03 am
rubyfoo

are you old enough to remember wearing your best clothes and gloves?
4:03 am
westford

absolutely
4:03 am
rubyfoo

aah, he's making his own apero, so I have to go
4:03 am
rubyfoo

very nice to "see" you!
4:03 am
westford

okay nice to 'see' you too
4:04 am
rubyfoo

aside from the safety issues, getting on a plane with people in shorts and tank tops is icky, to say the least
4:04 am
westford

I know. I once sat next to a girl who had her bare feet up on the back of the seat
4:05 am
rubyfoo

eeeew
4:05 am
westford

they were clean but it was still icky
4:05 am
rubyfoo

I used to love flying on business, but was often in the front of the plane and it was much better
4:06 am
rubyfoo

I'll send you an e-mail with a funny travel-related story (all true)

yesterday was the settlement on the house i was selling. SO HAPPY to have that burden off my shoulders! and we have a contract on a new house, so been working with the realtor to move forward on that.
7:54 am
Mom

getting a new house? (or new to you)
7:54 am
EvaNadine

meanwhile, we have neighbors who have taken to beating on the walls at all hours of the night. finally called the leasing office to complain, but i dont think they will do anything.
7:55 am
Mom

that is awful, Eva
7:55 am
EvaNadine

new to us. something we can settle in and start a family. :)
7:55 am
Mom

that is great. Closer to work for you?
7:56 am
dan2bit

congrats Eva!
7:56 am
EvaNadine

we got a twist this time -- not only did we get the usual 11:30 pm wall-pounding, but we were also blessed with 5:30 am vaccuuming, complete with constant, repeated slamming into the wall!
7:56 am
Mom

Hi Dan
7:57 am
Mom

wow, are they arguers or just rude people
7:57 am
EvaNadine

not close, actually like 5 minute farther. but its a gorgeous house with a nice yard. nice neighborhood, and definitely more house than we thought we would be able to get in this area.
just dealing with inspection stuff now, and hoping they agree to make the needed repairs.
7:57 am
lbdawger

hi dan, hi eva. jeez, when do these people sleep?
7:57 am
Mom

Lot to be said for a nice yard. I hope it works out for you and Mr Eva :-)
7:58 am
lbdawger

lot to be said for not sharing walls with rude people!
7:58 am
Mom

:-) Amen
7:58 am
EvaNadine

mom, its strange. they moved in several months ago + we never had any trouble with them. now, alluva sudden, for the last week or so, its late-night wall-beating.
at first, we thought maybe our music/tv/video games were too loud, but we have been turning them so low we can hardly hear them ourselves. last night, we were in bed, lights out + there was still wall-pounding! we dont know what it is, but it needs to STOP!
7:59 am
Mom

have you knocked on their door and asked them to quiet it down
7:59 am
lbdawger

is it just two people? are there kids living there?
8:00 am
EvaNadine

we havent knocked on the door yet, but we did call the leasing office to complain. i think hubby is trying to avoid a confrontation (i know id prefer not to have one) but i am seriously considering calling the police.
8:00 am
EvaNadine

im not exactly sure who lives there. i know there is a woman + a dog. not sure who else.
8:00 am
spanner

I had a similar problem once. I kept a diary of problems and did a video with sound so that it showed time and date, and then got the landlords to finally act...
8:00 am
Mom

Hi Spanner
8:00 am
spanner

Hi all x
8:00 am
lbdawger

take a plate of cookies over, and see if that could start a conversation.
8:01 am
lbdawger

hmm, wonder if dog is wagging tail against the wall? wants to go for walkies?
8:01 am
uusue2

I agree with lbd - a quiet conversation during the day when all is well might be a better start than having the landlord or the police show up
8:02 am
EvaNadine

i dont really WANT to start a conversation with them. if all goes as planned, we move out in a month. i just want quiet.
im not pleasant to speak to when youve ruined my sleep.
8:02 am
Buttonman

morning everybody
8:02 am
Mom

excellent idea, LBD and if that doesn't work take another plate of cookies, chocolate chip preferrably, only subsitute some of the chips with exlax
8:02 am

I did the stuff I did as a last resort - I had tried the reasoning stuff previously
8:02 am
Mom

(I can't believe I just said that) oh yes I can
8:03 am

Or diazapam and make them sleep......
8:03 am

i need help...i cannot find the fa 4/5 combinatoin..could someone give me a clue please?
8:03 am
72 Temple Owl

sorry all, great news, evaN. nassy, nopt sure what link you used for what site
8:04 am
lbdawger

button, i think the fa4/5 are a type of bean. rhymes with the burning liquid earth that comes out of a volcano
8:05 am
Buttonman

idbawger, thanks, you are right, got it
8:05 am
lbdawger

time to send hubz off to work. bbl
8:07 am
EvaNadine

will definitely have to try to knock on the door when im more calm. but i havent had a decent, full nights sleep for a week. and add all the stress of buying/selling houses on top of that, and ive been at my breaking point. i kinda just wanna jab her in the throat, so its probably best that im not present when said conversation is being had.
hubby may have to go on his own.
8:07 am
Mom

bye ((LBD))
8:07 am
72 Temple Owl

i meant about the house. klling the neighbors: not so great

good thing I had them on my phone, I could look at them and then draw on the overhead (no blackboards or whiteboards either, it is all electronic)

It is tough when one is totally reliant on computers and the power fails! If predictions for power interruptions due to increased solar flares come true, we may be back to pencil and paper, slate and chalk!

I don't begrudge him the tuition, really - my parents paid for mine so I am paying it forward - but he really needs to get his act together - this is the 3rd time he's taking this course (first time from me though)

11:42 am
cybernan

well, I have heard her mention that her first year students use creative mathematics
11:42 am
uusue2

I don't like the white boards - the pens run out of ink more or less instantaneously, and you can't tell by looking at them if they are dried up or not - although it is easier to read than a blackboard
11:43 am
wvteach

not as dusty as chalk or as messy on hands
11:43 am
cybernan

* her most frequent rant and rave is to the fact that they can't add 1 and 2 without a calculator
11:43 am
uusue2

I figure if our science classes have to teach creationism we should at least teach ALL the creation stories. There are a lot of them out of there. (And they would not be out of place in an anthropology class but they don't belong in biology)
11:44 am
uusue2

disagree about the messy hands - I can get chalk off my hands a lot easier than I can get ink off (and yes, I do get it on my hands). The new pens at least aren't as stinky as the old ones, though.
11:44 am
wvteach

is the legislation written that they are "required" to teach creationism or that they may teach it
11:44 am
cybernan

when I said creative, it was tongue in cheek -- creative resolutions that have no proof
11:44 am
crosshair

and yet they are stopping the lords prayer in schools because it might offend
11:44 am
uusue2

Senate Bill 89 allows school corporations to authorize “the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life” and specifically mentions “creation science” as one such theory.
11:45 am
uusue2

I suspect that if a particular "school corporation" (I assume that's what they call their districts there) authorizes it, the teachers will be expected to teach it.
11:45 am
uusue2

But it is totally unconstitutional; all it will do is wind up costing the taxpayers of Indiana a ton in legal fees.
11:46 am

what about the school that taught that teenaged girl who found a way to isolate and destroy cancer cells -- they must be doing something right, even if she is a prodigy

From the musical WHERE'S CHARLIE?
5:05 pm
Kaplan the Magne

They asked me how I knew my true love was true,
I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied.
They said someday you'll find all who love are blind,
When your heart's on fire, you must realize,
Smoke gets in your eyes.
So I chaffed and then I gaily laughed,
To think that they could doubt my love,
Yet today, my love has flown away,
I am without my love.
Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide,
So I smile and say when a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.

8:53 pm
Minveryork

am 4/6 all of the hustle&bustle of my he6/27 day I was able to log into Babble websi4/4 and finish in my li7/36 Babble time. Now here is story of clues. My hi4/5ory of driving was great until just recently. La 4/4 week I got pulled over by a police officer which was the pi 4/5. He was just it4/6ing to zap someone. As he approached my au 4/5mobile, I ti 5/14ly sl 4/5 down in my seat hoping that nobody would see me. The cop, who called himself Mi 6/21 Jackson, ci 5/14 me for going over the speed li 5/12 and asked if I had a va 5/18 driver's license. I told him that I was driving fa 4/7 because I was about to run out of gasoline and I would've driven even fa 6/27 if he had not pulled me over. But he did not care. The police man acted as if he was the ma 6/21 of the universe. He boa4/4ed that he could make my life a living hell if he really wanted to. He also told me I could eith5/12 keep arguing and get a bigger fine or I could shut up and get a mi4/6 fine. The officer told that me it was a si4/6ple choice.It seemed like my time with him la6/21 forever. I wish I could de 4/6rate the cop's car with graffiti. The police officer was such an A-hole, I just wanted to sl4/5 my fist into his face. I wish I could give him a ta 5/10 of his own medicine. Still have his ugly face et4/6ed in my mind. I wonder if the cops on the west co5/12 are jerks just like the ones on the east co 5/12. Anyway, after he let me go, I co7/36 into a gas station and filled my car. I wish I could re4/5 the whole day.Now th4/5 is the end of my story. Now I'm going to watch the movie Ch4/6ty Ch 4/6ty Bang Bang.Goodbye babblers! I'll see you later

jmc - perhaps not the aunt's death. She went into hospital over a year ago for a minor op and contracted the flesh-eating virus (Necrotizing Fasciitus) which resulted in her losing most of the flesh from her abdomen. She spent time in agony, between hospital and home, whith the hole growing ever larger and covered by a plastic film. She couldn't walk in the end or really do anything. She contracted blood-poisoning last week and died after getting into difficulty breathing. I am apalled by this.

The friend's death was totally unexpected. He was in his mid 40s, a slim non-smoker who had emigrated to Canada after being made redundant to work on the roadtrain trucks. he was young, free and single and seemed to be having a lovely life out there. For some, as yet unknown, reason he had a heart attack in his sleep in his lorry cab overnight and died. Concerned people called the police after they saw his rig not move for 2 days.

omg
9:33 pm
jmcnrick

life is short
9:34 pm
Jacula

1 word to go, jmc!
9:35 pm
jmcnrick

1
9:36 pm
Jacula

I'm it4/6ing to know what your last word is!
9:36 pm
jmcnrick

fw with the end word being a small fish va5/18
9:37 pm
jmcnrick

well just one of those stories would be rough jac but both of them together must be terrible to think about
9:37 pm
Jacula

That excuse is not va5/18. jmc! I need to throw blocks of frozen fish at you! LOL
9:38 pm
jmcnrick

*ducks and scoops them into nice new freezer compartment*
9:38 pm
Jacula

jmc - re Beloved. Yes, he had a whiskey when he got home.
9:38 pm
jmcnrick

i actually made supper in my brand new microwave
9:38 pm
Jacula

OY! You're not supposed to save the fish for later! LOL
9:39 pm
jmcnrick

well a night with whiskey is sometimes the right thing--jack d and i have kept company from time to time
9:39 pm
jmcnrick

hey i need to put something in this thing!
9:39 pm
jmcnrick

tonight i am having a light night cap of a glass of dry sherry
9:39 pm
Jacula

jmc - yes, I saw in the chog earlier. You worked out how to use the convection part of the microwave. Good for you! I'm on my second microwave with that feature now and I still haven't worked out how to use that part of it.
9:40 pm
Jacula

Jack Daniels is NOT whisky or whiskey! I have said this before. LOL
9:41 pm
jmcnrick

well i have great tech skills
9:41 pm
jmcnrick

and yes i know jd is not whiskey but it is a kissing american cousin
9:42 pm
Jacula

jmc - I have an aversion to sherry - sweet sherry, yuck, yuck, yuck, used to be always served on a silver tray to wedding guests when they arrived at the reception way back when I was young.
9:43 pm
jmcnrick

i hate sweet sherry but like fino
9:43 pm
Jacula

jmc - come to Scotland, visit the distilleries and learn about whisky. Or just taste Jamesons Irish whiskey.
9:43 pm
jmcnrick

is that step dau in icon? she got her hairs cut
9:43 pm
jmcnrick

i would kill to come wander around scotland drinking whiskey
9:43 pm
Jacula

Dry sherry is also on my hate list because I had an alcoholic b/f that used to drink that.
9:44 pm
Jacula

No, that's MY daughter in my icon.
9:44 pm
jmcnrick

i once went to the kirkin of the tartan at the cathedral here and wished that day my son had been old enough to drive as they were handing out free shots of different single malt whiskeys
9:45 pm
Jacula

And her hair is long in the full picture. She kept it long for her graduation and then had it cut short before she went off on her world tour beginning with Australia.
9:45 pm
gingentle

Hello all. I agree sherry is abominable. But Port, now...a fine old, aged tawny port can be a work of art...
9:45 pm
jmcnrick

sorry my mistake
9:45 pm
jmcnrick

now ging i am not a fan of port at all! haha that's what makes horse races!
9:46 pm
jmcnrick

and hi ging have we met before?
9:46 pm
jmcnrick

<---memory like a sieve
9:46 pm
gingentle

There is an Aussie-made port I LOVE...Clocktower.
9:46 pm
Jacula

Hi gingentle. I hate port but my mother loves it. I get a bottle every Christmas from my ex-hub, who still hasn't realised after nearly 40 years that I don't like it. My Mum does, though! LOL
9:46 pm
jmcnrick

maybe i will try it
9:47 pm
jmcnrick

well it works out for you mum then
9:47 pm
jmcnrick

whispers to ging (jac hates just about everything)
9:47 pm
gingentle

Yeah, we have all met before, I have been absent from chog for a very long time. Way too much drama in my life these past 6 months
9:47 pm
jmcnrick

*giggle*
9:47 pm
Jacula

Yup, jmc. LOL
9:48 pm
jmcnrick

sorry to hear that ging the chog is a good place to come when there is drama elsewhere
9:48 pm
Jacula

jmc - I don't hate just about everything!
9:48 pm
jmcnrick

of course occasionally there is drama here too
9:48 pm
jmcnrick

*puts on flak jacket*
9:48 pm
jmcnrick

haha!
9:48 pm
gingentle

well, i am recovering from bronchitis and sinus infection from hell right now and am fading fast
9:49 pm
Jacula

gingentle - we get drama here, bu we can be kind and quiet, too.
9:49 pm
jmcnrick

dear me. . . let me make you some ginger tea and a lavender pillow
9:49 pm
Jacula

jmc - stop trying to scare poot gingentle!
9:49 pm
Jacula

Or even pooR
9:49 pm
jmcnrick

*hangs head in shame*
9:50 pm
gingentle

i confess i have a new relationship as well, and it is somewhat dysfunctional
9:50 pm
gingentle

PLEASE>>> no more tea. Have had quite enough to float a yacht!
9:50 pm
Jacula

dyfunctional in what way? From your side or the other side?
9:51 pm
Jellen

Hello again...
9:51 pm
Jacula

If it isn't working, you need to either find a way together to make it work or just forget it.
9:51 pm
Jacula

Hiya (for the first time for me tonight) Jellen.x
9:51 pm
gingentle

He lives an hour away and so we dont see each other often, in fact, we have been mostly communicating by text and phonecalls for 3 months.
9:51 pm
jmcnrick

well then just the lavender pillow
9:52 pm
jmcnrick

wb jell
9:52 pm
gingentle

thx jmc
9:52 pm
Jacula

ginge - that could still work. It's only an hour away after all.
9:53 pm
Jellen

That is a challenge, though...
9:54 pm
Jacula

Unless neither of you drive, or you can't afford to catch a bus or a train, I don't see it's a problem.
9:54 pm
Jellen

I've just started seeing someone about an hour from me, too...
9:54 pm
jmcnrick

haha an hour away is nothing in western u.s.
9:54 pm
Jacula

If you want to make it work, you will.
9:54 pm
Jacula

jmc - it's nothing in the UK either!
9:54 pm
jmcnrick

<---would see some 2 hours away if she could
9:54 pm
gingentle

yeah, but he is feeling overwhelmed by events in his life. he is caring for aging and ill parents, working full-time and has problems from an ex. I think he has fear to advance in our relationship. i really dont quite know how to proceed. I believe i am in love and it is difficult. have been advised by friends to have patience...
9:54 pm
jmcnrick

there you go!
9:55 pm
jmcnrick

east coast u.s. everyone thinks that is a big deal
9:55 pm
jmcnrick

sounds like patience is the key
9:56 pm
gingentle

i fear it has not been traditionally listed amongst my many virtues
9:56 pm
Jacula

Have about 6 months patience, gingentle. Then, if you haven't gone to his place before, do so and see how the land lies.
9:56 pm
Jacula

In the meantime, keep your options open.
9:57 pm
gingentle

i shall, Jac. a good idea to make a timeframe
9:57 pm
Jellen

Patience is tough for me, too!
9:58 pm
gingentle

i had given up on love. hadnt dated in 10 years...
9:58 pm
Jacula

Good gingentle. Hope that's helped. Have you actually visited his home yet or is it all still just internet?
9:59 pm
Jellen

Oh, I wish you the best, gin...
9:59 pm
gingentle

we have met in public, but not at each others homes. its all so modern and confusing
9:59 pm
gingentle

thx Jellen
10:00 pm
Jacula

Ging - I'd been 10 years on my own before I met my Beloved. Not totally alone, I'd dated and kissed frogs along the way, but he actually did turn up on my doorstep after we'd met and chatted for a year or so on a site meant for school reunions, thought we'd never been in the same area let alone at school together.
10:02 pm
gingentle

good to hear Jac...gives me hope. i fear i am having a case of the blues, from being sick! Glad i stopped by here tonight!
10:02 pm
Jacula

And, yes, there was electricity when he kissed me goodbye and came bak up the path to do it again to be sure he hadn't imagined it. 9 years later, we are still very happily shackled.
10:03 pm
jmcnrick

*sigh* i love a romantic story
10:03 pm
gingentle

that is so wonderful to hear!
10:03 pm
Jellen

Me, too!
10:03 pm
Jacula

jmc - sorry to be so sicly but it's true. Love was a lightning bolt that neither of us ever thought would happen.
10:04 pm
Jacula

*sickly
10:04 pm
Jacula

Everybody say 'aah!' LOL
10:04 pm
gingentle

A good evening to all. TY for listening and sharing...I need to go to sleep before I simply pass out, hunched over the laptop. *poof*
10:05 pm
Jellen

:)
10:05 pm
Jacula

So, love at first kiss DOES happen!
10:05 pm
Jellen

G'night, gin
10:05 pm
Jacula

Goodnight gingentle. I hope your story has a happy ending.
10:05 pm
Jellen

I'm a firm believer in the power of kisses!
10:06 pm
Jacula

Yes, Jellen, kisses with added static are phwoar, POW!
10:07 pm
Jacula

Sometimes, over the years things seem to get a little stale, but I'll give him 'taht' look or he'll give me 'taht' look and its fireworks all over again.
10:08 pm
Jacula

Sometimes, you just need to forget about everydy life and cares and woes and just look at each other properly.
10:08 pm
Jacula

*that, I meant
10:10 pm
Jacula

I'm in a dangerous place now - my guy is in his early 40s, just like my ex-hubby was when he left me.
10:10 pm
jmcnrick

i fell in love with my hubby on my first date and he fell for me too
10:10 pm
jmcnrick

40s doesn't mean he is going to leave you jac
10:10 pm
Jacula

However, he's a totally different man.
10:11 pm
jmcnrick

exactly
10:11 pm
Jellen

Hope I'm with my new beau for a while...
10:11 pm
Jacula

Jellen - I hope you are, too.
10:11 pm
jmcnrick

i hope you are too jell
10:12 pm
Jacula

But you say new beau, like you don't either expect or want it to last?
10:12 pm
jmcnrick

i must putter off to bed now. . . got an early meeting
10:12 pm
jmcnrick

hugs to you and your beloved jac
10:13 pm
Jellen

There are challenges, Jac
10:13 pm
jmcnrick

and hugs to you and your new beau jell
10:13 pm
Jellen

G'night, jmc...sweet dreams!
10:13 pm
jmcnrick

*poof*
10:13 pm
Jacula

Dealing with the death of a true love is hard. I know because I've been there. How anyone else can measure up is a lottery.
10:13 pm
Jacula

Goodnight, jmc. Sweet dreams.
10:16 pm
Jellen

Brett's quite sweet about my past with Tim...
10:16 pm
Jacula

What does 'quite sweet' mean?
10:16 pm
Jellen

Very sympathetic and respectful...
10:17 pm
Jacula

Oh okay.
10:17 pm
Jellen

And not threatened or jealous.
10:18 pm
Jacula

Well, I'm glad for you, Jellen. Long may it continue.
10:19 pm
Jellen

It's early days yet. Thanks, Jac!
10:19 pm
