Good day folks.

Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler.

5:54 am

Scrabbler

How is life across the pond?

5:54 am

Haz1558

It's okay, Scrabbler, nothing major to report.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

And I see, from comments below, that this grid sucks.

5:55 am

Haz1558

This grid is one which gives room to the lesser known species of English words.

5:56 am

Anniebrook

and ethnic slurs

5:56 am

Scrabbler

I'll tell my monkey to try everything and anything.

5:56 am

Anniebrook

good morning everyone

5:56 am

Haz1558

There's a higher percentage than usual of never-before-encountered-nor-imagined words.

5:56 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Annie.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi Annie

5:57 am

Anniebrook

morning Hazel

5:57 am

Anniebrook

morning, scrabbler

5:57 am

Haz1558

Needless to say I recommend morewords!

5:57 am

Anniebrook

Morewords will be ragged by the end of the day

5:57 am

Scrabbler

I have a long day of work ahead so I'll do what I can.

6:00 am

Haz1558

Just to give you a flavour, Scrabbler, we have Chinese wooden yokes, Australian lizards and French booze.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

The last clue I got.

6:01 am

Haz1558

We've had the Australian lizard before, the Chinese yoke of punishment was a new one on me.

6:01 am

uusue2

French booze? *perks up*

6:01 am

uusue2

and morning all!

6:01 am

Hi Sue

Please take pity on this American. Any clue for the first up

Hello, uusue.

6:02 am

uusue2

and hi haz and annie!

6:02 am

Haz1558

up5 - many babblers will be up5 with the words in this grid.

6:02 am

gramma

G'mornin, all. In all the years I've done this game, I've never used more words. Maybe today by the sounds of it?

6:02 am

Scrabbler

TY--twisty word.

6:03 am

Anniebrook

I should seen that one, Haz, thanks

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Morewords is a wonderful site.

6:03 am

Haz1558

Le this be the day, gramma. Your choice - morewords or your mental health/chunks of hair.

6:03 am

gramma

I'll look at it later.

6:03 am

uusue2

thx for the up - I kept thinking that word ought to be there and not seeing it :-/

6:04 am

Scrabbler

I am going to the kitchen to get breakfast. What would everyone like?

6:04 am

uusue2

anyway nbt

6:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, uusue.

6:04 am

uusue2

sausages would be nice, scrabs :-)

6:04 am

uusue2

and coffee...

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Coffee I can do but there's no meat in this vegetarian home. The bunnies and I are herbivores.

6:06 am

Anniebrook

I have the up 6 and 7..I would never use that word in that way but I must find a way to use it today. This grid will up6 me today, most likely.

6:07 am

uusue2

veggie sausage would be ok (I've actually had some that wasn't bad - and have been vegetarian myself off and on)

6:07 am

uusue2

anyway gotta run myself...

6:09 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, uu.

I love renting cars! You get to really try them out for a bit!

7:18 am

uusue2

I had an old SD card that I put in, and fortunately I had uploaded all my photos, but recovering everything is a nuisance

7:19 am

uusue2

(of course, if I used my phone as a phone and not as a computer with a very small screen, it wouldn't be such a big deal, I suppose...)

7:19 am

car.eeyore

crossy keeps it in there to chop into his brekkies

11:16 am

jmcnrick

i am pretending to study

11:16 am

hego

we won't tell

11:16 am

jmcnrick

do you think that is a step up or down from pretending to pay attention to a meeting?

11:16 am

Aloyisius

but.. what are you pretending to study?

11:17 am

hego

step up

11:17 am

jmcnrick

i am pretending to study choosing to engage armed groups in the peace process

11:18 am

crosshair

easy...water cannons:))

11:18 am

hego

no wonder you're pretending

11:18 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, sounds complicated and almost oxymoronic

11:18 am

jmcnrick

actually pretty interesting stuff but my head cold lingers and it is hard to concentrate

11:18 am

jmcnrick

no no crossy to engage in dialogue! this is a peace build program

11:19 am

crosshair

ahh..dialogue...lol

11:19 am

jmcnrick

well if you don't engage the armed parties in a conflict you will never end the armed part of the conflict

11:19 am

Aloyisius

sigh.. you are right of course

11:19 am

jmcnrick

what are the stats for the corner R please

11:20 am

Aloyisius

wish they were all armed with squirt gus

11:20 am

Aloyisius

guns that is

11:20 am

hego

that would be a fun war. water guns and cannons

11:20 am

jmcnrick

it is amazingly difficult to get some people to see the logic of that--and i would be okay with squirt guns as long as it was just water at a controlled temperature and pressure

11:21 am

jmcnrick

water cannons are not fun if the pressure is high enough hego

11:21 am

hego

true even that could escalate

11:21 am

crosshair

you said armed..if they are waving gas cocktails and ak-47,s...i am not worried overmuch as to the temp of the water:)

11:21 am

Aloyisius

about that r.. the guy on Mash that drank Nehi

11:22 am

Aloyisius

11:22 am

Aloyisius

we still watch it

11:22 am

jmcnrick

i was just pointing out that when we come up with solutions we need to look at possible unintended consequences like scaldling water or high pressure

11:22 am

jmcnrick

11:22 am

crosshair

still watch it:) it is in endless re-runs on history channel

11:23 am

Aloyisius

a long time ago I researched a sound weapon the French developed.. infrasound.. vibrates the intestines.. aim it at an approaching army, and voila.. where is the latrine?

11:24 am

jmcnrick

sound can be devastating too--they have used it in torture over the decades

11:25 am

Just found all of the U's. All but one is highly suspect.

12:14 pm

12:15 pm

5:26 pm

uusue2

5:27 pm

uusue2

there was a lot of complaining about it when I got on this morning, though

5:27 pm

doseffing

5:27 pm

doseffing

...

5:28 pm

ChampFit

I've been trying NOT to go to the list, which is stupid...kind of like beating my head against the wall.

5:28 pm

Nef

I didn't and am still working on that clue, Champ

5:41 pm

5:43 pm

Nef

Pure luck on the monkeys part

5:44 pm

doseffing

... ah yes ... ... thanks

5:45 pm

Nef

now I have the NBS and NBT

5:46 pm

doseffing

... I'm a bit past half way ... but I don't know how much interest I can keep up without a list

5:46 pm

uusue2

you have very clever monkeys, nef! Mine needed it spelled out for them!

5:46 pm

Nef

I have 145 left

5:48 pm

MollyL

Even the most clever of grid solvers have complained about this grid today. I will take my new laissez-faire attitude and find what I can, and leave the rest. : )

5:49 pm

ChampFit

...and be much happier for it, no doubt!

5:52 pm

ChampFit

Nef, you just jump in and get the hard stuff...I'm pickin' and pickin'...still have 82 left.

5:54 pm

Nef

No, my monkeys are working today, Champ. I always try to get NBT and NBS before I chat; but sometimes I just can't do it

5:55 pm

ChampFit

I love your monkeys! ;)

5:56 pm

Nef

6:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have been listening a lot to crrent pop and it is all about horny guys and booty and give it to me right now

6:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Really explicit. Not Adele- mostly the guys

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and Rihanna- "I love the way it hurts"

6:53 pm

periwinkle

why are you listening to current pop?

6:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

all kinds of reasons. Have daughters, pop culture interests me, because there's a lot of talent other than Miley Cyrus...

6:55 pm

periwinkle

ok

6:55 pm

periwinkle

how old are your daughters?

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

22 and 16. Their taste is far more sophisticated at this point, but it's default station while driving with the younger one.

6:57 pm

periwinkle

need a break, bbl to find the last 34

6:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I raised the older on Gershwin and Porter and Berlin...in first grade in school she drew a picture of a cloud and her caption was "my cloud looks like Lena Horne singing"

6:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am watching my soap. I am a mixture of highbrow and lowbrow.

6:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I recorded Perry Mason on the DVR!

Kaplan the Magne

I found a station that has Dobie and Dick (van Dyke.)

7:02 pm

westford

I need to find me some Perry Mason

7:02 pm

westford

I can hear the theme song now

7:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I spent Sunday watching Whitney Houston on you tube- then went back to early Streisand...then a little Fanny Brice

7:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Memorable Entertainment Television- it's a cable network.

7:03 pm

westford

we have FIOS

7:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I watched a lot of Amy Winehouse the day she died- thought- damn, she had talent- I shouldn't wait till they are tabloid fodder and dead to appreciate them.

7:04 pm

westford

she was good

7:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am so eclectic I am virtually psychotic.

7:04 pm

westford

what a waste

7:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's why the lady is a tramp.

7:05 pm

7:07 pm

westford

and lena and billie

7:07 pm

westford

so cool that your daughter compared her cloud to Lena

7:07 pm

Jacula

Hi all. I might have got myself into trouble with a friend who writes for a dog (canine kind) magazine after she queried a guideline from Crufts re cage labelling. Since I hate Crufts and The Kennel Club for all the harm they've done to dogs and dog breeds over the years, I said I neither knew nor cared. I also asked WHY people put 'Show Dogs In Transit' stickers in the back of their vehicles, especially when you see small children free-range at the very back, 'show' dogs in cages strapped securely to the rear seats in front of the kids, and Mum and Dad seat-belted in at the front.

7:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ella- clean and pure- Pearl -suggestive...lena- regal, Billie---blie

7:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Jac, that is disturbing

7:08 pm

MollyL

((West)) I'm sorry you felt left out earlier today. I wasn't really around enough to get why, but I don't want you to ever feel left out of chat. You matter â™¥

7:08 pm

Jacula

I also asked why 'show' animals were more important than any other kind of animal/life.

7:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Here I am leaving everyone out of chat.

7:09 pm

westford

thanks for that molly I just wanted a hug..just being silly all better now

7:09 pm

Jacula

Kaplan. Hi. Yes, it is!

7:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am a chathog. Anyone can stop my singing at any time.

7:09 pm

westford

we used to see baby on board stickers ..could never understand those

7:10 pm

Jacula

West - don't know why you need a hug, but here's one from me, also. (((Hug)))

7:10 pm

MollyL

Double hugs (((West))) ((West))) : )

7:11 pm

MollyL

Baby On Board stickers are so that the people contemplating vehicular manslaughter can choose their cars appropriately.

7:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No Baby on Board- go one and hit me.

7:11 pm

Jacula

Bloody Hell! Kap. You just shunted me out of the front door and halfway up the drive! LOL

7:11 pm

westford

apparently

7:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Don't know my own strength.

7:12 pm

Jacula

I was just about to tell you that, Kap. LOL!

7:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ultimatum to 16 year old daughter: you must do your own laundry from here on in.

7:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No more piling up mountains of clothes and then "Mom! I have nothing to wear! Do my wash!"

7:13 pm

MollyL

Oh good luck. If she's not doing it by 16, you have a long road to hoe.

7:15 pm

Jacula

BTW - I meant people should be driving in a caring way, not a 'cring' way. Cring driving sounds like something a Ferengi like Quark (Deep Space 9) might do!

7:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know- we have not done a good job with our kids and chores.

7:16 pm

rururocks

could anyone help me with the ep7 please.I still haven't found it

7:16 pm

westford

molly gave an excellent clue earlier today

7:16 pm

Jacula

I've got a 17-year-old step daughter still filling the family laundry basket just after I've done the wash. She's going to be doing her own washing and ironing very soon!

7:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I go into her room and there I find -

7:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ALL of our bath towels on the floor

7:18 pm

Jacula

please don't tell me what you find... you'll give me nightmares.

7:19 pm

Jacula

Hang on.. WHY are all of your bath towels on the floor? Oh, I get it, she's used thee blooming lot?

7:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

BBL.

7:20 pm

Jacula

Kap's got to check the laundry basket again, I guess. I'll get a similar pile later today!

7:21 pm

rururocks

7:28 pm

rururocks

I've only met Doren and DC.. and I keep my hands off both

7:29 pm

7:29 pm

Jacula

7:29 pm

7:44 pm

7:55 pm

rururocks

and WAYYY smarter than me

7:58 pm

Jacula

Molly - you carry on, but please don't enter any competions in magazines that offer no prize other than being published. It's a battle we paid writers have been waging this week against mags published by big corporations who can afford to pay. Small presses and charities are one thing, big publishers are quite another!

7:59 pm

Jacula

*competitions, I meant.

8:07 pm

Picklesny

Jacula

44 letters??? I meant 4, wht.

8:14 pm

wht

It was a long solo. But I got the word.

8:14 pm

Jacula

I don't think the grid supports a 47 letter word! LOL

8:14 pm

Jacula

LOL, wht.

brokenleo89

8:18 pm

dan2bit

welcome bl!

8:18 pm

jesdraggon

hi leo. you picked a difficult grid to start

8:18 pm

Picklesny

why are you broken leo?

8:19 pm

brokenleo89

long story but arent we all just a little

8:20 pm

Picklesny

fair enough

8:20 pm

wht

Leo, I think we have a broken grid.

8:21 pm

brokenleo89

so these do come easier?

8:21 pm

jesdraggon

yes, some of them are much easier!

8:21 pm

jesdraggon

I haven't even dragged myself to half way through this one.

8:22 pm

brokenleo89

ugh

8:23 pm

brokenleo89

and how long have you been at this?

8:23 pm

jesdraggon

uhm.... 4-5 years?

8:23 pm

jesdraggon

or did you mean this grid in particular?

8:23 pm

brokenleo89

both i guess

8:23 pm

jesdraggon

almost an hour tonight

8:24 pm

jesdraggon

has anybody pointed you to lickety's clues yet?

8:24 pm

brokenleo89

no whats tha

8:24 pm

brokenleo89

that

8:24 pm

jesdraggon

http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

8:25 pm

jesdraggon

it gives a list of first 2 letters, with point values for each word, in alphabetical order. VERY helpful.

8:25 pm

Picklesny

I find morewords helpful for short words

8:25 pm

jesdraggon

also, it's ok to ask for clues of other players

8:26 pm

uusue2

And you can enter your words and see which ones you have and which you are still missing. Very nice.

8:26 pm

jesdraggon

when giving clues, people will usually try to avoid actually spelling the words out, so it can get interesting trying to hint "this word is like this, only different in these ways" :D

8:27 pm

Jacula

Welcome brokenleo. It gets easier, I promise you.

8:27 pm

uusue2

right, we try not to type grid words into the chat box - but sometimes we slip up!

8:28 pm

uusue2

then you will see people put themselves into the "penalty box" - not a real construct, but just a way to acknowledge that we goofed.

8:28 pm

Picklesny

there are some bizarre words which turn up frequently like ohia

8:28 pm

wjb

Could I have the stats for the 10. please

8:28 pm

brokenleo89

well that has me even more confused

8:28 pm

jesdraggon

how so?

8:29 pm

wht

ra10/91

8:29 pm

brokenleo89

guess I'm just too simple

8:29 pm

uusue2

don't worry about it, leo - just type the words you find in the "add word" box, feel free to chat, and it will all make sense after a while

8:29 pm

Jacula

Just played Brahms Lullaby to my stepdaughter, First time she's heard it, apparently. It's in her earphones on her i-pod now. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to go up there and sing to her! On Ikley Moor Bah'tat usually does the trick! At least it did when my kids were little.;-)

8:29 pm

uusue2

also the "Help" link above has useful info

8:29 pm

brokenleo89

k thanls

8:30 pm

Jacula

Brokenleo - you'll be glued together again when you've spent some timee with us lot!

8:30 pm

Picklesny

there's something about this funny puzzle that brings out the nicest people

8:31 pm

Jacula

Pickles tells the truth about this game.

8:31 pm

brokenleo89

hope so have had enough of the other types of people

8:32 pm

wht

leo, jac is right about getting glued together. I think it is the stick-to-it-ness that this puzzle requires.

8:32 pm

Jacula

That's not to say we don't get trolls in her, or that none of us disagree, but it's a nice place to be on the whole.

8:33 pm

brokenleo89

glad to be here then

8:33 pm

Christine

zips

8:33 pm

Christine

oops, sorry about that

8:33 pm

Jacula

Stick around, brokenleo. W'll help you to become whole again. And that isn'y some lame internet promise.

8:33 pm

Christine

I hope there

8:34 pm

Christine

I hope there;s something good in the PB

8:34 pm

majmom

8:34 pm

jesdraggon

*tosses Christine an eggnog taffy on her way to the PB*

8:35 pm

jmitch

just saw a comment about my name reminding of FMitch.....No relation, but it's nice to think I remind folks of a special person

8:35 pm

wht

I think there are some citrus fruits in there, Christine.

8:35 pm

Christine

Well, I don't eat sweets, but the eggnog bit sounds okay.

8:35 pm

Jacula

majmom - go6 is a large type of monitor lizard. Google it if you don't know it.

8:36 pm

Christine

I just learned of FMitch's death. I remember a nice person, and I'm sorry for your loss. I know some of you were very 'close'.

8:37 pm

Jacula

jmitch, yes, you do. Still miss her in the mornings on Babble, in the emails etc.

8:37 pm

jmitch

She was one of the first to welcome me aboard.

8:37 pm

Jacula

Hi Christine. Yes, we were. Still are.

8:38 pm

majmom

tx jacula -googled and found it

8:38 pm

uusue2

ha, finally found the lizard several paragraphs into the Wikipedia article. Now know much more about said lizards.

8:38 pm

jmitch

well, I've used up all my patience searching for G words.....y'all have a great evening. *poof*

8:38 pm

Jacula

jmitch - that was typical of her to welcome folks. Me? I'm far more cautious. Have made enemies on here due to my troll-radar.

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

bye, jmitch

8:39 pm

Jacula

Goodnight, jmitch. Hope to see you again.

8:40 pm

Christine

But, on the whole, we're a nice bunch, tho' there have been times when you want to just reach out and grap someon by the neck, and march him/her into another room, until they can behave nicely. Come with being a mother, I guess.

8:40 pm

periwinkle

help with co6/21 or co6/30 pls

8:40 pm

Jacula

majmom and uusue - I guess you don't take much interest in the natural world if you didn't know that word? Ah well, such is life! nd the differences are what make it all so interesting.

8:40 pm

jesdraggon

co6/21 the first is rough, not fine

8:41 pm

uusue2

co6/30 is brandy

8:41 pm

Christine

*grab someone

8:41 pm

Jacula

sue! I wanted to clue the brandy word! LOL

8:41 pm

jesdraggon

8:42 pm

periwinkle

ty for the co words

8:42 pm

Jacula

Not that I drink it - I only use it in my Christmas cakes and to pour over the Christmas pudding and set alight.

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

ah! second co6/21 is a shaping garment

8:42 pm

wht

Any help for the ca7/7 combo after the pens?

8:43 pm

Jacula

Ah, sue, you're looking downwardss rather than upwards. No harm in that.

8:43 pm

wht

or ca6/7 combo

8:43 pm

uusue2

I do the really, really tiny and the really really big things :-)

8:44 pm

Jacula

ca6/7 is a wooden collar/yoke worn by Chinese prisoners. c + ag4 (chill) word.

8:45 pm

uusue2

ca6/7 ends like the thing in your mouth (not your teeth)

8:45 pm

wht

ty. That is a new word for me.

8:45 pm

Jacula

Or rather tin for food, remove last letter then go for the other word.

8:46 pm

Jacula

wht, y/w.

8:48 pm

Jacula

Any more clues needed?

8:49 pm

wht

9:01 pm

Jacula

TO - I can't judge you, since I met my other half of the past decade on a website. It wasn't a dating site, but we met and there you go!

9:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is lovely, jacs

9:02 pm

Jacula

sue - Hiding letters by picking the gri up and throwing it down again is Dr_God's fun thing.

9:03 pm

Jacula

TO - Yes, so they're not all driller killers out there, but you still have to take care.

9:04 pm

9:33 pm

Jacula

Get your ar4/4 out of my half of the bed, TO! Or at least wear a co6/21 to make yourself smaller! It would be nice if your breath didn't smell of ga6/27, too. It's not true that it repels vampires you know. It repels everyone and anyone who hasn;t eaten it at thwe same time as you did.

9:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

:p

9:35 pm

Christine

Well, thank you - that's two words I needed. Carry-on arguing.

Minveryork

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

9:43 pm

jillibus

has anyone taken the trouble to read my icon theme writeup? I took the trouble to find it.

9:43 pm

Jacula

Hi Min.

9:43 pm

cosdem

gonna read it now jill

9:44 pm

Jacula

We're having fun insulting each other at the moment.

9:44 pm

cosdem

jill wasnt this harp player u emt at a neighbros party i read on fb

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

not done yet but just got nbt

9:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

time for bed.. night all

9:44 pm

cosdem

i really do wish i could benefit from music therapy.it sounds wonderful

9:44 pm

jillibus

not at all, cos

9:44 pm

Jacula

jilli - no, I haven't,but I will later,. Where does one find the latest icon theme now?

9:45 pm

jillibus

right in my bio, jac, and in sprite's.

9:45 pm

cosdem

oh ok.. but yeah.. i think its an amazing thing.. too bad i cant benefit from ti

9:45 pm

jillibus

yes, cos -- very sorry about that

9:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

very nice story, jilli! (i do a little music myself)

9:46 pm

cosdem

but at least i wont know wha t im missing out on lol

9:46 pm

Jacula

So I see, jilli. Last time I looked at sprite's I couln't see it.

9:46 pm

Christine

Jillibus, that's so interesting. We had a neighbour who played the harp, and DD and I would pass the house on our evening dog-walk, always stop to listen. Sometimes she held 'evenings' when neighbours would drop in for tea & cookies.

9:47 pm

cosdem

ro5/16 please?

9:47 pm

jillibus

you see, I'm wondering why sprite and I bother with icon themes any more -- there is so little interest. It was such a rewarding side dish to Babble when others participated -- I know, poeple don't have time, etc etc but they used to...

9:47 pm

Christine

A naughty guy.

9:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ro5, female character from X-Men!

9:49 pm

cosdem

thanks gwen thsat did the trick

9:49 pm

Jacula

flute playing makes me think of Jethro Tull, a band from the 50s/70s tht jilli probably wouldn't like.But it was the fae band of a man who died before his time, a man that I knew for many years.

9:49 pm

cosdem

and ty christine :)

9:49 pm

Christine

9:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

8-D

9:51 pm

Jacula

jilli - I've always gone my own way, as you know, but I've no objection to themes if they suit my mood (and don't encroach on anythig I'm writing for money). I'd just lost track of where to find the themes!

9:51 pm

jillibus

Thanks, Christine. I keep looking at others' icons in the hope that I will learn something about the theme, but seldom find a follower -- although there are other interesting stories. People seem to find the time to change their writeups and icons, but ignore the themes we could all share. To each his/her own, and I guess I should just shut up about it.

9:52 pm

cosdem

se5 the first?

9:52 pm

Jacula

jilli - I'd write all about it, but these days I need to get paid for writing all about it. Sorry that I can't be so free with the info,

9:53 pm

Jacula

cos - sounds like you're watching a movie!

9:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

se5 = s + ep4, a really big movie (or poem)

9:54 pm

Minveryork

se 5/14: somone drained out my se*t** tank cosdem.

9:54 pm

cosdem

thanks again jac/gwen

9:54 pm

Jacula

y/w cosdem.

9:55 pm

jillibus

Jac, Sprite always posts themes -- a long list into the future as long as people have suggested them -- so few do now that she does most herself. New ideas are always welcome. Since she is in a very different time zone from North America's, I copy her current list for the people here. But who cares?

9:56 pm

Jacula

jilli - I haen't forgotten about ringing you, btw. We just need to earn enough money to even consider paying for callls right now. Food and bills come first!

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jacula, have you heard of skype? nearly free to call anywhere in the world using your puter

9:57 pm

Jacula

jilli - I care! wish Sprite hadn't been so self-effacing eitherm and just told me same.

9:57 pm

cosdem

gmail has free calls as well

9:57 pm

grannyrose

helloooo, i'm back. didja miss me?

9:58 pm

Jacula

Gwen yes, I got Skype then lost it Need to find it again so I can see my only niece on film from Canada!

9:58 pm

jillibus

No prob, jac -- I understand. Even though we have universal medical care, a lot of things are not covered and I've been whacked with a bunch of big bills -- big to an old widow on a small fixed income, at least.

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

how can you lose a whole website??? lol

9:58 pm

Jacula

jilli - xxx

9:59 pm

jillibus

(((jac)))

9:59 pm

Jacula

Gwen - when you get a nw pc with a son that wipes everything, it's not hard to lose far more than a whole website.

10:00 pm

Gwen - I never download anything willy nilly.

10:02 pm

jillibus

One of the bills recently, btw, was because of my using the cell phone while in the hospital and a t home because I couldn't get to the landline quickly. The December bill was $234 because of 6 long distance calls of a few minutes each, plus a few local ones. Out bloody rageous.

10:02 pm

cosdem

10:02 pm

grannyrose

10:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:04 pm

10:06 pm

jillibus

I had a cell phone contract called "Small Talk" because I only wanted it in case of emergency -- for $15/month + tax I'm allowed 50 minutes/month. I think I may have gone over by about 20 minutes that month, but got ripped off for "air time", whatever that means.

10:06 pm

jillibus

I must look farther in to skype.

10:08 pm

cosdem

10:08 pm

Christine

Jillibus - I use my cell phone mostly for calling for a cab, when I'm away from home, so I have a prepaid setup, I found it is less expensive.

10:08 pm

cosdem

skype is wonderful .. and oovoo is better i think because you can have 3-4 way phone calls for free as well

10:09 pm

grannyrose

co6, co + your backside

10:09 pm

jillibus

cos -- you have far more choice than we do -- as I said, we have the worst system in the world according to authorities.

10:09 pm

Minveryork

The co6/21 describes something that's rough cosdem

10:10 pm

cosdem

ah yes i keep forgetting .. not sure if oovoo is available in canada...

10:10 pm

cosdem

A raccoon came into my kitchen through the cat door and gobbled my Susiecat's food. I moved her dish to the other end of the house and put one of those boot-scraper brush things which looked like a raccoon on the stairs it had used to declare it another raccoon's territory. Haven't seen one since.
