Because while Microsoft knows enough to put the Hebrew letters right to left, it always puts thepunctuation left to right

I wondwered about that, arb, when I saw neil's question mark -- not that I know any Hbrew except its direction, lol!
12:51 am
ARB
Not realy, Dee. Just saving development time (and money) -- the right to left market is not that large
12:52 am
ARB
Actually, I take that back -- Arabic is also right to left.
12:52 am
VolleymomDee
a valid point
12:52 am

Well I had it on the correct end before I pasted it from a notepad into here, Arb... so that's weird.

i live near the base of blue mtn here on georgian bay,and some idiot put a bunch of houses tween me and the hill..somewhere in those 20 houses is a small breed yappy dog and they seem to lock it outdside on the lead starting at 6 am or so and in the morning,when the air is still and the water is calm,that dogs non-stop yapping echos off the hill and reverberates all through town.i swear that dog can wake up 10,000 people all at once
3:12 am
Glantarell
I think I might have to find iot and have a chat to the owner...
3:12 am
rubyfoo
that is incredibly inconsiderate
3:12 am

3:13 am

3:14 am
crosshair
it is quite amazing actually,never heard sound bounce quite like it..bet the thing is a teacup poodle or some such beastie

language nuances are such fun:) we ran into faux pas when mu brother went over to the U.K for my mums funeral seems in that particular locale,long pants are trousers,pants=shorts and short-underwear,so when he said one day that it was so warm out that he was going to go lay out on the back lawn in his shorts,he raised a few eyebrows

the reason was "did not show ties to China" but my son said it was a very half-assed interview and they didn't even really look at all her documentation

8:30 am

we often write English words with welsh phonetic spelling which is quite amusing - ambiwlans
8:30 am
Glantarell
do you like mountains and wild country, or cities Bichon?
8:31 am
bichon
not cities, but everything else
8:32 am
Glantarell
well, I suppose if you could only go to one place, it would either have to be a castle - we have 641 to choose form - or to the National Museum of Welsh Life - an outdoor musseum where buildings have been relocated from all over the country and rebuolt there to preserve our heritage
8:33 am
Glantarell
every castle is different but Caernarfon is pretty impressive, Castell Coch is a Victorian fantasy medieval reconstruction, Caerphilly is the largest, and Cheptow is the oldest
8:35 am

castles sound intriguing.

I agree, I think it would be fascinating to visit a castle.

I had my hair straight, which is very unusual for me! People were shocked!
10:27 am
car.eeyore
Only once or twice....I did dance with my DH though!!!!!!
10:28 am
MollyL
Ha! Reminds me of that scene where Skeeter's mother says "You're five inches shorter, you can wear heels tonight!" after they straightened her hair.
10:28 am
MollyL
(scene in "The Help")
10:28 am
car.eeyore
I should have worn shorter heels...ouch.
10:29 am
MollyL
I have come to this conclusion. The better your feet and legs look in heels, the worse your feet hurt the next day.

10:46 am
rururocks
I don't see you playing julie andrews

Kaplan the Magne
I have to relearn how to ride a bike. Apparently I have been in the habit of dismounting and mounting the hard way- but it didn't used to bother me
4:22 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Can you teach an old broad new tricks?
4:22 pm
sprite
it is effective, Kaplan. But the older we get, the less we bounce back from the concrete.
4:23 pm
sprite
sure... on an old bike :D
4:23 pm
MollyL
One ends like Spanish Mr Cos
4:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I didn't ride all last summer because I felt unsteady.
4:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Apparently you're supposed to push off from the pedal and not just hoist yourself onto the seat.
4:23 pm
cosdem
thanks molly
4:24 pm
sprite
can't you have one with side wheels, Kaplan? Or a tricycle for grownups?
4:24 pm
cosdem
found the other one
4:24 pm
MollyL
Then I won't clue it : P
4:24 pm
cosdem
lol thats ok :)
4:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can ride Ok- it's the stopping and getting off that I no longer find easy.
4:25 pm
sprite
then you ne4 a bike with a low instep, Kaplan. Then you can hoist yourself on and off without a problem.

Kaplan the Magne
I found one, but I have to relearn how to get on and off, even with the girl's bike model.
4:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
nice bike, but the problem I'm having is getting onto the seat and pushing off
4:28 pm
sprite
yeah that is why the low instep is helpful. You can even rest your feet on the ground and push off.
4:30 pm
Kaplan the Magne
There is something in that process that I am not doing right, after my feet are on the ground. I am supposed to put a foot on the pedal, push off and THEN get on the seat. I have been getting on the seat first.
4:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I was just at the bike store and the guy was trying to get me to do it right.
4:31 pm
sprite
I understood that was what you did. That is what is possible with bikes like this one. I hope you will find a way, bikes are great transportation.
4:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I used to be Miss Bike everywhere. My husband bikes all the time in all weather and doesn't understand why I have become so resistant.
4:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Aside from not wanting mud on my clothes, my balance is not so great.
4:34 pm
sprite
I can understand that you have. It takes confidence to ride bike. Once you lost that, through not riding for a while or because you are afraid to fall, it isn't that easy anymore
4:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
yeah.
4:35 pm

7:10 pm
redturtlehead
wish it had been real pie.
7:13 pm
MollyL
Hmm, real pie vs. pie charts. No contest.
7:14 pm
crosshair
pie charts are nothing but a graphic way of showing what is already known to the ceo who does not care who is on the cusp of a golden pension plan and stock options before the shit truly hits the fan ..sorry disillusioned here
7:16 pm
redturtlehead
THis is not for the CEO, its for the nurses who need to know that *I* know that they are putting a ton of ecoli into patients bladders.
7:16 pm

I dont do pie for the CEO, heck I am not really sure who our CEO is.

7:46 pm
Trifioso
I should add that I did not take her advice....
7:48 pm
MollyL
And that was a smart thing Trif. You just end up carrying the baggage from one relationship into the next one.
7:49 pm
Trifioso
that, and my total lack of appeal....lol

i am finished. and can't be** any thought of baggage and relationships right now. good night everyone and good luck

I am defying your request, citing a special dispensation I claim whenever torgone is here....
7:56 pm
Trifioso

7:57 pm
MollyL
So hard to keep track of all the "specials" here.
7:58 pm

Especially Special Tor. You rate dude.

Trifioso
me too, molly. my pastor was one who finished, and I was so impressed!
8:05 pm
MollyL
I kept hearing the "Chariots Of Fire" music as I imagined people sitting down and strapping in for that big of a grid.
8:06 pm
Trifioso
the u in this grid is killing me
8:07 pm
Aloyisius

8:09 pm

21 u's is about 19 too many
8:09 pm
Aloyisius

8:10 pm

People need to STOP posting video of them, their kids, their drunken prisoners, and anyone else singing Bohemian Rhapsody on the internet. Enough is enough.

I could not agree more, molly!

8:32 pm
gapeach

Sigh. I think I've only finished one grid since The Monster
9:01 pm

I've been demoralized :P
9:02 pm

I don't have any laurels
9:04 pm
MollyL
Your trapeze then.
9:04 pm

no laurel-resting for the wicked

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

Oh come on Via. That isn't a word in your every day vocabulary? Surely it is. (Dripping with sarcasm)
9:27 pm
gapeach
I think we are pretty well.....hope you are as well.
9:28 pm
viajes
Molly, I usually buy my acids pre-made, so I don't know the names of the individual salts...
9:28 pm
MollyL
Interesting icon Min.
9:29 pm
MollyL
You heard it here first everyone. Via buys acid!
9:29 pm

9:29 pm
Minveryork
I have never heard of an addressograph until today.
9:30 pm
MollyL
I hadn't either Min, and I found it interesting to learn about something like that from the past.
9:32 pm
viajes
Yes, Molly, I buy this ni+ acid so I can make optical glass.
9:32 pm
viajes
(delayed response due to wikipedia research so I could find out what it's actually used for)
9:37 pm
jesdraggon
half way
9:38 pm
MollyL
Good that you posted that Via. Now you will not become Babble gossip fodder for being a drug dealer.
: P
9:40 pm
viajes
Yup. No homemade acid. Strictly cocaine.
9:40 pm
MollyL
Thank God we cleared that up.
9:41 pm
viajes
Well, I wouldn't want to hurt my Babble reputation. I have standards, after all.
9:41 pm

So... in7 clue?
9:41 pm

are there drugs in the PB?
9:41 pm

oh-oh. What kinds of emails?
9:44 pm
viajes
FBI? Will they shut us down because of my optical glass non-making?
9:46 pm
jesdraggon
yes, you should be licensed for that, via :D
9:46 pm
jesdraggon
yay via!
9:46 pm

9:46 pm
Minveryork
Congratulations viajes on your fireworks! Good for U!
9:47 pm
viajes
thanks everyone
9:47 pm
viajes
anyone need any clues? I can tell you that ni7 is a salt that goes in an acid that you can use to make optical glass
9:47 pm
jesdraggon
Now that you've won the internets, what will you do?
9:47 pm

Congrats, viajes!!!!!!

Big Brother and I are tight. It's cool.
9:53 pm
viajes
I also recommend that everyone read the Russian novel "We," which apparently inspired both Brave New World and 1984. It got past the censors through extreme use of ellipses, as it is hard to censor what is implied rather than said...
9:54 pm
viajes
Anyway, I am supposed to go see a show and then drink heavily. *sighs wearily*
9:54 pm
jesdraggon
what show?
9:54 pm
gapeach
Have a great time, viajes.
9:54 pm
torgone
Tough duty but someone has to do it ..
9:55 pm
jesdraggon
also, in the same line of books, you may want to pick up Cory Doctrow's Little Brother.
9:55 pm
MollyL
*Makes note to start discussing knitting doilies and making tea with Via*
9:55 pm
jesdraggon
good read, and all doctrow's books are available for free download from his site (craphound.com)

I am at a storytelling conference. I just ditched a panel, but now I must go to a show and then a party.
9:56 pm
viajes
I will look it up Jes -- ty!
9:56 pm
viajes
I do like tea, Molly. Doilees, not so much. (Though I buy my tea pre-made; I don't buy the individual salts.)
9:57 pm
jesdraggon
Welcome. I read it while traveling... kind of ironic to be hauling it through security given the subject matter :)
9:57 pm
torgone
I second the Doctorow recommendation - He's very good ..
9:59 pm
viajes
have fun all *poof*
9:59 pm

You are redeemed Via. Go enjoy the rest of your conference and rest assured that I will remain the black sheep of Babble.
