hey there sprite, anike, the gang

2:40 am

hey gort! Good to see you!

2:40 am

anike

Hi Gort & Sprite

2:40 am

gortmold

been a while, hasn't it

2:41 am

sprite

it has. How've you been?

2:41 am

sprite

hi anike!

2:41 am

gortmold

teeheehee re your icon sprite

2:42 am

gortmold

i'm all right for an old fart, how about you?

2:42 am

anike

I could really do with a list right now

2:42 am

gortmold

so no sign of lickety?

2:42 am

sprite

same, gort :) Yeah, fun one, isn't it.

2:42 am

anike

Hasn't been around lately

2:43 am

sprite

lickety is out of the running for a bit. We are on our own.

2:43 am

gortmold

bummer! you'd think there'd be someone in babbleland with the techno nouse to create a similar program...then again, word nerds tend to be good at words not code

2:44 am

sprite

I think some are able to. And maybe if lickety's list would be certain to not appear again, someone might step up. But nobody will until that is clear, I think.

2:46 am

gortmold

yes i spose you're right, you wise old wonder

2:46 am

sprite

*giggles* Yeah right. Octopus. :)

2:47 am

gortmold

gol (giggling out loud)

2:51 am

sprite

I can see why you'd like a list today, anike. This is one that runs out of steam.

2:52 am

anike

It certainly does - down to 26

2:53 am

nice going though. 87 left here and going nowhere really fa4.

3:02 am

3:12 am

Ignore me

3:12 am

City 17 dweller

lol, ty, but not that clever - I just spent a good while convinced I could compound go4/7 + ri4/4. Like a go**rush, only more violent ;)

3:12 am

sprite

never :)

3:13 am

sprite

should have been valid. You are clever, enable is stupid.

3:16 am

City 17 dweller

I love your icon, Sprite. Just gave me a chuckle.

3:16 am

it did the same for me, thought I'd share :)

3:17 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:47 am

grannyrose

((((ruby))))) and how is ruffino( hope i spelt it right)

4:48 am

rubyfoo

{{granny}} I am happy to see you

4:48 am

rubyfoo

have been meaning to write a long letter but I am "dog tired"

4:49 am

rubyfoo

he is a magic dog: affectionate, handsome, smart, athletic and totally housebroken

4:49 am

grannyrose

lol, and just what do you mean by that, i wonder?

4:50 am

grannyrose

what a bonus and blessing he is to you, then. and himself???? any improvement along that front?

4:50 am

rubyfoo

the only negatives, and I'm sure they're temporary: he bites everything (including me), drives Ruby crazy, and has totally trampled and bitten off all the spring flowers (iris, tulips, daffs, allium)

4:51 am

rubyfoo

husband is a mess but at least he loves the new pup. We both still cry over Max, however,; that extreme sadness lingers

4:51 am

grannyrose

oh, goodness!!!( lol) he certainly seems to be quite inquisitive....as you say, hope it's just a phase

4:52 am

rubyfoo

I think it's a teething question but my hands and wrists are covered with tiny punctures

4:52 am

rubyfoo

he couldn't be a better puppy, though

4:52 am

rubyfoo

and when I calm him down, he's a big cuddler

4:52 am

grannyrose

(((((ruby))))) * hugs* i still cry over my beloved julia and jonah, and that was 9 and 8 years respectively

4:52 am

melody17

good morning, can anyone tell me why the text on my computer is very large and I can't alter it, I am getting desparate as I can only see the screen and the Ad Word Box at one time

4:53 am

grannyrose

sorry can't help you melody, check into dart's p[rofile, pick up his address, and email him, maybe he can help

4:54 am

melody17

thanks

4:54 am

rubyfoo

melody, I am a total computer incompetent. sorry

4:54 am

rubyfoo

how are you feeling, rose?

4:56 am

grannyrose

not too bad, ruby...knee gives me heaps...came home early tonight, not because of knee, but himself has gone into hospital for a sleep study tonight. he will be home about 7am tomorrow.

4:56 am

rubyfoo

what is his sleep disorder symptom?

4:57 am

Jayk

Melody--

4:57 am

Jayk

Melody--click on Tools/Options/Internet options/fonts

4:58 am

grannyrose

well, for a start...he stops breathing for 5 of my breaths....then there is the noise he makes, like a possom with a sore throat. extremely aggravating, particularly at 3am.

4:58 am

grannyrose

yay, jay, thanx for helping melody

4:58 am

rubyfoo

apnea

4:59 am

rbud

melody, did you try the control key and roll your center mouse roller if you have one? that will zoom you in and out, too, if you have clicked outside the game area (like in the blue-green patterned area)

4:59 am

rubyfoo

that is a scary symptom

4:59 am

rubyfoo

5:00 am

grannyrose

yup, am sure of it, but over here, in order to even buy a CPAP machine, you have to have an ENT's or Sleep apnoea specialist's 'prescription'

5:00 am

rubyfoo

isn't that what crossy uses?

5:00 am

rbud

hi, ruby and g'rose! (((hugs!)))
and Jay... hope Melody sees our suggestions

5:01 am

grannyrose

yes, ruby, as do i

5:01 am

trisha_ZA

morning - ctrl + or ctrl- will control the font size

5:01 am

grannyrose

hey rbud

hi there rubyfoo

grannyrose

morning trisha

5:02 am

trisha_ZA

hiya granny rose

5:02 am

rbud

oh, good one, trisha, I didn't even know that, but it's true some don't have the mouse roller

5:02 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could stay as I love this group, but husband needs his Campari

5:02 am

grannyrose

go ruby, with our blessings, cyu later

5:02 am

trisha_ZA

well don't think the group is going anywhere :) see you a little later

5:03 am

rubyfoo

putting on my barkeep's apron!

5:03 am

trisha_ZA

yeah rbud that is quite a handy little trick when sometimes the writing on a page is so small

5:03 am

Jivingjenny0

Hi, I'm Melody 17's mother and she is the one who altered my text size!! Thanks for your help, especially Rbud, it seems to have worked. You are all wonderful!!

5:03 am

grannyrose

lol, hope he's not turned on by barmaids

5:04 am

rbud

cute little ruffled apron, a la french maid, ruby? :)

5:04 am

rbud

you're quite welcome, Jenny. :)

5:05 am

Jivingjenny0

I only came onto Babble this morning for advice so I'm going now and will be back this afternoon.

5:05 am

rbud

<-- now wondering what Campari is... googling!

5:05 am

rbud

later then, Jenny! :)

5:07 am

trisha_ZA

rbud lol it is a drink that really needs getting used to

5:07 am

trisha_ZA

quite a bitter taste but those that drink it love it

5:08 am

rbud

ah, I can see why! Wiki says it's "bitter, spicy and sweet", "commonly served with soda water, wine, or citrus juice", and "among the Top 20 liqueurs in the world." Doesn't sound like my type.

5:10 am

rbud

I'm more of a disgustingly sweet and fruity type, like fuzzy navels or Tequila Rose, or some wine or wine coolers... but then I don't drink much. Once every few years or so, lol.

5:11 am

rbud

(don't tell ruru - I know a glass of wine a day is supposed to be good for us, but I'd rather have grape juice!) ;p

5:11 am

trisha_ZA

when I travel I try the drink the locals drink, so have had some really strange stuff lol

5:12 am

trisha_ZA

they say that a glass of wine is good for the digestion

5:14 am

rbud

I've always had trouble drinking wine with food, it just doesn't taste right to me. Before or after, maybe, but not together. I'm just not cultured, I guess, lol!

5:15 am

trisha_ZA

a glass of wine before dinner really makes my hungry, so don't think it is a good thing for me, makes me eat more

5:17 am

rbud

sometimes I cook with it, but not often. no one in my family is sophisticated enough to know the difference, lol! :P

5:17 am

rbud

hubby's more of a beer brat type, boil 'em in the beer and grill 'em!

5:19 am

trisha_ZA

I sometimes make my version of sangria when it is really hot red wine but not a good wine, with a whole lot of additives like orange juice and soda water and pieces of orange

5:19 am

rbud

sounds good!

5:21 am

grannyrose

oh, for goodness sakes, my last word was wa5, good ol' H2O. someone hand me a fish....

5:21 am

trisha_ZA

and then when it is cold, the same red wine with a little less orange and lots of cinnamon and cloves, warmed up as my version of gluwein lol

5:22 am

rbud

><((o>

5:22 am

trisha_ZA

but not that it gets really cold here 12 degr and we are shivering in our boots

5:22 am

grannyrose

gee, thanx, rbud

5:23 am

grannyrose

5:24 am

rbud

only 28 left for me, getting there.

5:24 am

rbud

but congrats, g'rose!

5:24 am

grannyrose

nearly 9:30pm here, time to say goodnight to all my babble friends. ruby, talk to me....and see you all at the flip

5:24 am

trisha_ZA

wow

5:25 am

rbud

5:25 am

5:25 am

rbud

I have it, thanks! :)

5:26 am

grannyrose

* poof *

5:26 am

that must be 12 deg. C, trish, I suppose - 12 deg here IS cold.

5:28 am

trisha_ZA

oh yes C

5:32 am

trisha_ZA

shew, I think I'm brain dead today

5:34 am

8:49 am

hego

agreed.

8:49 am

car.eeyore

I would keep it short & sweet...."I was counting on you and I am really disappointed." Then no more. Just silence.

8:49 am

hego

that's why we have men in our life.

8:49 am

hego

good, car!

8:50 am

8:51 am

Hi viajes. It is fascinating to be here at various times of the day and see other people. The ones that start at or after the flip are often not seen by me when I am awake.

12:28 pm

viajes

I come on to take a break from work, or when I can't sleep, so the time is pretty random

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

firefly779

flip time is fun, but rarely on then - nearly bedtime during "normal" life (been going to bed much earlier during recovery it seems)

12:29 pm

dcseain

few us us are mellow at flip.

12:29 pm

Scrabbler

change second vowel, Seain

12:29 pm

firefly779

flip time is neat because everyone calls out stats of words they find - good clues to be found in chog then ;)

12:30 pm

dcseain

oh, yes, i did :) ty, scrabbs

12:30 pm

crosshair

when i am stuck in a grid,ill often bring up the chat log and see what was posted round flip time

12:30 pm

Scrabbler

I read the archives sometimes and the chat at flip time is crazy--clues being thrown out, everyone racing to find the big words.

12:30 pm

uusue2

hi harry!

2:34 pm

dcseain

Oh, i went to JMC's open house -- lovely time. Also learned that bay laurel grows here -- she has one in her back yard. The addition she made to the house was small, but is wonderful and made a huge impact. The rooftop deck is nice too.

2:34 pm

dcseain

good to be safe, but ouch, harry

2:34 pm

HarryHood

yeah who needs brakes anyway...

2:35 pm

uusue2

HOORAY!!!

4:19 pm

JBV

4:19 pm

4:21 pm

JBV

I mean where in Italy

4:21 pm

hego

i go different places. This year Umbria.

4:21 pm

hego

It's easier now than ever.

4:21 pm

JBV

I'll be in the Torino areas for a few days (to visit cousins, but not staying with them) and then to Sicily to visit my aunt

4:21 pm

hego

Everyone speaks English now.

4:22 pm

JBV

well I speak Italian, so that's not my big concern :)

4:22 pm

hego

You'll have a great time!!

4:22 pm

JBV

actually, I've had some interesting emails with hotels - I write to them in Italian, they answer in English, which is MUCH worse than my Italian

4:22 pm

hego

Sicily has a language all their own.

4:23 pm

hego

I have had that experience many times. lol

4:23 pm

JBV

yes, Sicily will be interesting, I don't speak Sicilian but I understand it

4:23 pm

hego

that's good!

4:24 pm

hego

I'm excited for you! : )

4:24 pm

JBV

4:24 pm

JBV

oh, thanks, hego - yes it's quite a big deal for me

4:24 pm

((((JBV)))) going back to the homeland? what is something that is created where you live, that will represent your life to those you visit? Around here, small cedar boxes or basketry, small jewelry or art pieces (we have a lot of Coast Salish artists in the area), or if permissible samples of local foods.

5:03 pm

firefly779

STID!

5:03 pm

uusue2

hi stid!

5:03 pm

stidmama

firefly!!!! ((((((many many happy, grateful hugs)))))))

5:04 pm

firefly779

thanks stiddy!

5:04 pm

stidmama

are you feeling better? I bet the kids are happy to have you home!!! *relieved mama look*

5:04 pm

firefly779

good to be back, though it's gonna be quite the recovery it seems

5:04 pm

stidmama

oh dear, I am sorry that it's going to be protracted

5:04 pm

stidmama

do you have help at home?

5:06 pm

uusue2

wow, firefly, I'm glad they were able to treat you - sounds very scary!!

5:06 pm

firefly779

yes sue, scary indeed

5:06 pm

firefly779

yes stid, have help ;)

5:07 pm

stidmama

A friend of my inlaws had something similar about 20 years ago, but his wasn't discovered until it started to leak. I am so happy that yours was found sooner. Glad you have help. :-)

5:07 pm

firefly779

today I got to lose a bunch of hair from where they zapped me with gamma rays to clot off the aneurysm where they coiled it behind the pipeline they put in

5:07 pm

stidmama

hm... *visions of creative hairbraiding*

5:08 pm

uusue2

eek, firefly! it does sound like they were able to fix it, though - that is so good!

5:08 pm

stidmama

*alternatively, visions of interesting "head as billboard" razor cuts...*

5:09 pm

stidmama

sue, did I see in passing somewhere that you are going to re6?

5:09 pm

uusue2

yes! June 30 will be my last day.

5:10 pm

uusue2

It was a somewhat abrupt decision but makes sense in a lot of ways (financially, emotionally, etc)

5:10 pm

firefly779

hair's too short to braid, and luckily it's all on the left side, under the first "layer" of hair, so mostly covered, but still a bit distressing to pull it all out!

5:10 pm

stidmama

ooooh. what fun! will you be moving somewhere interesting like the Bahamas or Tahiti (or Washington, we're interesting here...)?

5:10 pm

uusue2

maybe eventually; for the moment I will probably stick around - my son is still a student here

5:11 pm

uusue2

but I do hope to travel, may do a big Babble tour later in the summer

5:11 pm

stidmama

ah, yes, the short hair issue. glad it's in a less-conspicuous location. Just cutting my hair very short last summer/fall has resulted in me feeling a bit self-conscious at times.

5:11 pm

stidmama

ooooh! I am NOT in school this year (of course) so if you come out this-a-way, DO let us know!

5:11 pm

uusue2

will do :-)

5:12 pm

stidmama

my download/upload speeds seem glacial today. *sigh*

5:13 pm

uusue2

same here although I think it's my computer, it is kind of small and sad

5:14 pm

uusue2

kid just popped in and out, he has to live at the fraternity all week (part of pledging?)

5:15 pm

westford

soi

5:15 pm

stidmama

hmph. which frat? I am not, myself, a product of the "Greek" system...

5:15 pm

stidmama

hello west!

5:15 pm

firefly779

so glad to have caught you stid - heard you were MIA a bit

5:15 pm

westford

hi stid

5:15 pm

westford

hi all too

5:16 pm

stidmama

the TKEs at my first college were fun, but a little on the wild side.

5:16 pm

uusue2

alpha epsilon pi, it's a Jewish fraternity

5:16 pm

stidmama

me too, firefly, I only popped in because I saw JBV's icon. Glad you saw me!

5:16 pm

uusue2

hi west!

5:16 pm

firefly779

:)

5:17 pm

stidmama

oh, that sounds like it would be a better pick than most. :-) I am suspicious, as an introvert, of too much togetherness!

5:17 pm

uusue2

yeah, it's pretty small, about 20 guys total of whom about 12 live in the house

5:17 pm

westford

hi sue

5:17 pm

uusue2

and they are pretty focused on academics, which is good

5:18 pm

uusue2

I'm glad he has some friends...

5:19 pm

stidmama

I am not sure if I hope my elder son will seek out such places when he transitions to a 4-year school. The social support, if he found the right one, would likely be a good thing. But I would worry a little bit about distractions. oh well. cross that bridge when he comes to it.

5:19 pm

stidmama

17 left, going very slowly now.

5:20 pm

uusue2

I was quite surprised, didn't think he was the type, but after we went to Israel he wanted to connect with his Jewish side, so started hanging out with them - wasn't going to pledge but they bid for him (insisted he join anyway)

5:20 pm

uusue2

and the ones I have met have all been extremely polite and studious, which is nice

5:21 pm

stidmama

I am pleased your son is connecting with his heritage! That is a gift.

5:21 pm

uusue2

I also looked up their web page, they have a lot of very illustrious alumni

5:22 pm

stidmama

:-) you sound like a proud mama!

5:23 pm

uusue2

I am hoping they will wean him off his crazy girlfriend :-(

5:24 pm

stidmama

I think that additional social support can only be good, sue -- and if they are so focused on academics, pushing him to work harder there will limit his time "off task" anyway!

5:25 pm

uusue2

I agree!

5:25 pm

MollyL

Sue that's great that your son is pledging. I guess that means he is doing better in school.

5:26 pm

uusue2

still on probation but he is doing much better this semester (although he was doing well last semester too until he quit two weeks before the end of it). So I will have to keep an eye on him. I really dropped the ball last fall.

5:27 pm

stidmama

sue, YOU did not drop the ball... *stern mama look* you also have things to focus on (your students). A little more support is ALWAYS nice, but it seems no matter how hard we work, there is always "just one more thing" we could/should/would have done "if only"

5:27 pm

MollyL

Well maybe another interest besides she who shall not be named will help.

5:28 pm

uusue2

yes, he said she was breaking up with him when he ran in and out a minute ago; I didn't cheer because he didn't look happy but I certainly hope the whole thing ends.

5:28 pm

oh, just noticed the time. Need to think about how to get the turkey cooked. Probably should have started it early in the morning. oh well, might put it in the fridge again and wait for Wednesday... not sure why it is taking FIVE days so far and barely thawing!

5:29 pm

Hi Peri

5:29 pm

5:29 pm

Just chatting to a friend and also to my daughter on FB, and also just pinched a pic from my cousin for my icon on here, Trif. How are you doing?

7:30 pm

MollyL

Hey Jac, an equinox prayer for my fellow Pagan...
As you welcome the Spring Equinox may you clear away all that no longer serves you.
May you release the ego/mind that has held you prisoner.
May you begin again in clarity, in purpose, and allow yourself to step into the brilliance and light of your true being.
May you allow your inner child to be healed and transformed back into the innocence, purity and playfulness of your true essence.
So may it be.

7:31 pm

Interesting icon, Molly. A mix of plants that would never actually flower all at the same time.
