12:50 am

westford

12:51 am

dcseain

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

Colonial Beach was really lovely; I missed visiting him there when he moved to PA

12:52 am

12:53 am

flosey

thanks jilli, perhaps just have too much on this old computer - time for a new one

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

btw sammysmom mentioned fiddleheads earlier - what are they?

12:54 am

dcseain

ty, dee. and i have been, west :) not least because test covers things we don't use in VA, like the NW Ordinance Coordinate system.

12:54 am

dcseain

baby ferns that are delicious, dee

12:54 am

westford

and then they grow and take over half the yard

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

ty, have never heard of them

12:55 am

jillibus

maybe, flosey -- it's not our ISP because we have the same one

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

what is the NW Ord sys?

12:55 am

jillibus

I LOVE fiddleheads -- hard to find here

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

clear out your cache and cookies flosey, may stop that

12:55 am

flosey

thanks Dee, will do that later

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

12:56 am

justafreep

ai7

12:56 am

dcseain

the County/Township/Section thing yall have in OH, IN, IL, WI, MI, MN by federal mandate, and which spread West with settlers to many esp plains states.

12:56 am

dcseain

very light fry in some oil with garlic, maybe a squirt of lemon or lime juice, some salt and pepper is how we've always eaten them.

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

awww didn't remember what it is called... really makes little sense... was it set up for taxation purposes?

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

like spinach

12:57 am

dcseain

land allotment, taxation, and school purposes.

12:57 am

jillibus

I just do them in the microwave - they taste like a combination of asparagus and spinach, imho.

12:57 am

dcseain

yes, rather, dee. Some people grill them, but i've never tried that.

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

our libraries are based on the townships here... which is based on taxation

12:58 am

dcseain

that's an apt description of the flavor, jilli

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

very interesting... fiddleheads... cute name

12:58 am

dcseain

everything here is by the County or City, depending on which you live in.

12:58 am

dcseain

describes their shape when they're right for eating, dee :)

12:58 am

jillibus

I like your way of doing them, dc! But I'm lazy. I do gfive them a squirt of lemon, though.

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

very cool

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

speaking of new things... someone in our area was bitten by a brown spider yesterday... we have never had them here before... scary...

1:00 am

dcseain

may the cats stay away this year, rbud

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

1:02 am

dcseain

grannyrose

btw, have finally given up all hope of himself doing anything constructive in the garden. have hired a landscaper/gardener friend to do the work. my back garden is a quagmire. he has spent most of today removing all the buttercups, dandelions and buffalo grass from the top layer of soil.

2:08 am

Kazzer99

we did that last year granny and now it has inspired the hubby to get out there and do some stuff

2:08 am

negativeneil

You'll enjoy them Rose.

2:09 am

grannyrose

plan is to put down a layer of fine gravel/stone, compact it, and in the process create my garden again.the whole area went to pot, so to speak, when i could not any longer get down to weed, let al5 mow/slash/prune.

2:09 am

negativeneil

Did you see my reply to your last from the other night?

2:09 am

Haha, ruby! Don't blame you.

hi Brandyjack haven't seen you in a while

9:19 am

brandyjack

Can't figure out my ICQ password....

9:19 am

hurshy

people still use ICQ? :)

9:19 am

justice

i don't have icq

9:20 am

hurshy

it was a fun little program, i liked the flowers

9:20 am

justice

it serverd a purpose

9:20 am

hurshy

re8 is like the middle word of MRI, but adj.

9:20 am

brandyjack

Then you aren't who I thought you were....

9:21 am

justice

i used to work at nortel

9:21 am

brandyjack

Ok. Then you are....

9:21 am

hurshy

lol

9:22 am

justice

i took icq off a while ago

9:22 am

carleekat

icq still exists?

9:22 am

brandyjack

I upgraded to Windows 7 and couldn't figure out the password. account likely killed by now.

9:22 am

justice

yup

9:23 am

carleekat

i stopped using it YEARS ago

9:23 am

carleekat

loved it but was memory hog

9:23 am

brandyjack

i always liked it. rest of them annoyed me. Still do.

9:23 am

justice

i am still useing the same system you put on my computer

9:23 am

carleekat

i like skype

9:25 am

brandyjack

i use googletalk now because it ties into my android phone and lets me 'Text' my daughter in Los Angeles without those ridiculous charges.

9:26 am

carleekat

that what bbm is for :)

9:28 am

brandyjack

I prefer android. Can write my own apps without paying 10K in SDK fees.

9:29 am

brandyjack

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how is Joan these days?

9:30 am

justice

not too bad

9:31 am

justice

for her age

9:31 am

brandyjack

That's good news. I know about age. Just had two stents put in on Monday myself.

9:32 am

justice

she is still playing uo every night

9:37 am

justice

is google talk free?

9:39 am

brandyjack

yes. to use it on a phone, need a dataplan. Its free for computers or phones with wi-fi capability. Google will give you anything if you tolerate those stupid ad's. I've got the most amazing tunnel vision ever...

9:41 am

justice

joan's computer doesn't like icq which is why i got rid of it so google talk sounds like an option

9:42 am

brandyjack

Need to sign up for gmail email acct at google.com. Not sure of the exact procedure now since they've mashed everything into 'google play'.

9:53 am

justice

ok so what does the gmail mean

10:01 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito!

10:02 am

lbdawger

gmail is google's email system

10:02 am

lbdawger

just type in gmail.com

10:03 am

justice

ty i got it done

10:05 am

brandyjack

gmail.com, webmail like hotmail.com. Go to google.com, click on More in the black bar, then click on 'Even More'. Find Talk in the pile of things that appears (on the right, near the bottom). You may be able to use existing email. Download and install the Google Talk application. Think its fairly straightforward.

10:06 am

brandyjack

congrats LB, I am wordblind today....

10:08 am

justice

i think i have it all done

10:09 am

brandyjack

Chat in the lower left, search brandyjack11 @ gmail .com (without the spaces I stuck in it)

10:09 am

Aloyisius

hi brandyjack! hi all - fell asleep babbling, so I'm back to hopefully finish - we just "got smart" yesterday, now have Droid Thunderbolts, no idea how to use it at present but it uses gmail, so I was glad of that.

10:10 am

Aloyisius

now, of course, the big question.. can I get Babble on it?

10:11 am

brandyjack

Have to admit I haven't tried, although I have seen others in here carping that they can chat or they can word search because their screens are too small. I have a dell streak 5 with a 5" screen but I still haven't tried it. No App that I am aware of, just browse to playbabble.com

10:11 am

cybernan

good morning all -- hi bj, it's been a while!

10:12 am

Aloyisius

ok, ty, will do when I have time to fiddle around with it..

10:12 am

Aloyisius

hi nan

10:14 am

cybernan

is this going to be another of those grids where half the words are either foreign, manufactured or something we've never heard of nor are likely to again?

10:14 am

justice

sent a invite

10:15 am

brandyjack

Actually N
an, they are distressingly normal. I just can't see them for love nor money... Every now and then the blinders come off and i get a bunch.

10:16 am

Aloyisius

that has been my experience, too.. words came in bunches - dry spells of staring in between

10:19 am

cybernan

I don't have that much time, so will list for the last 84 - unless I get disgusted with it as I did yesterday

10:19 am

Aloyisius

good plan, nan

10:21 am

cybernan

so far the a's are all normal or babblets

10:22 am

brandyjack

well, i dont seem to have the issue the others do. In landscape mode my phone has enough display to do babble AND
chat....

10:23 am

Aloyisius

that is great, bj.. which phone do you have? The guy

10:24 am

Aloyisius

at the store said they change about every six months!

10:24 am

Aloyisius

kind of mind boggling when you are shopping

10:27 am

Aloyisius

lol, have counted 8 words so far that use the le4 suffix, "not more"..

10:27 am

brandyjack

Mine is a Dell Streak 5, no longer sold. It has a very, very large screen. Iphone is puny beside it. but Iphone is larger than most other androids. my daughter has Acer Liquid-E, and wife has on of those Samsung Geo's. Originally pay-as-you-go, but I unlocked it and stuck a monthly Sim in it. Geo has a fairly small screen, Liquid-E is very large, but the strea
k is Huge.

10:27 am

Aloyisius

and am still missing one 8 letter word, so maybe the count will go up.. when in doubt, add le4

10:28 am

Aloyisius

so.. it doesn't fit in your pants pocket?

10:29 am

brandyjack

it fits my pants pocket fine. Learned that the first thing you do is get one of those silicon 'skin' thangs or it will fall out of the pocket every 5 minutes. Heavy and slippery. Shirt pockets are unsafe period without the skin.

10:30 am

cybernan

those c's are eluding me (the longer ones)

Aloyisius

ah, good to know.. we have no "skins" yet, salesman said to use them for a week before we cover them, to get the "feel" of the phone, I guess?

10:31 am

brandyjack

my previous phone I had for 8 days before it fell out and landed face down on one of the legs of a rolling office chair. Had a beautiful 14 megapixel camer in it too.... Much smaller than the streak.

10:31 am

Aloyisius

nan, if you are not a vowel, you may be a co9

10:32 am

viajes

I think antness should be a word. The state of being an ant. Come on, Enable!

10:32 am

Aloyisius

ooch, not good bj.. our cell phones have a tendency to land in water around here.. cell phones and cameras..we are learning

10:32 am

brandyjack

There are two skins. One for the display (don't), and one for the body (DO). If he was talking about the display, then he's right, otherwise talk to someone else....

10:33 am

rururocks

I think antrial should be allowed.. all ants should be judged

10:33 am

brandyjack

washing machine has cleaned me out of mnore than a few of my daughters phones...

10:33 am

cybernan

Aloyisius

10:35 am

brandyjack

10:36 am

viajes

*sneaks away*

10:36 am

brandyjack

10:37 am

Aloyisius

come back soon, viajes

10:37 am

Aloyisius

but you had a prefix before it

10:37 am

Aloyisius

10:37 am

cybernan

10:37 am

cybernan

have no idea!

10:38 am

Aloyisius

ok, nan.. start with the beginning of a penny and end with military ***vice

10:38 am

brandyjack

think catholic ceremonies, swinging a smoke bomb on a gold chain.

10:38 am

cybernan

duh - got them

10:39 am

Aloyisius

yay (-:

10:39 am

brandyjack

10:39 am

Aloyisius

10:45 am

cybernan

10:45 am

cybernan

10:46 am

10:48 am

bichon

hi nan, aloy, brandy

10:49 am

Aloyisius

yw, was thinking of another clue - glad you found it.. hi bichon

10:49 am

brandyjack

I can just see some Irishman looking his daughter's beau ion the eye and saying 'Go? *****????'.....

10:49 am

cybernan

thought it must be some kind of dialect - comes from garcon I suppose

10:49 am

bichon

I only have two with the common ending, not able to breathe and not ired

10:49 am

Aloyisius

.. waves to PMS in the PB

10:50 am

Aloyisius

if you don't have digits on your foot, bichon..

10:50 am

bichon

ty aloy

10:51 am

cybernan

there is an an 9 that is similar bichon meaning the same as the 2nd one you have

10:51 am

brandyjack

thanks bichon, was missing the ired.

10:51 am

Aloyisius

and if you don't have a no** pad, you can't write no4s and so you would be no8

10:51 am

bichon

I have the an 9, the ai 7/28 and now the to 7

10:52 am

Aloyisius

ir7 shares the suffix

10:52 am

cybernan

10:52 am

cybernan

10:52 am

bichon

10:55 am

bichon

Okay, think I have them all, but is it no 8 or ne 8?

10:55 am

amelu0218

10:55 am

Good Afternoon, Everybody! And congrats to you, uusue! Do you think you will miss teaching?

2:27 pm

ivesy3

first ar 7/28 plz

2:28 pm

ChampFit

if you can't breathe you're ar 7/28

2:29 pm

Nef

LOL! :-) I'm sure no teacher ever misses the grading and papers! And I think that you probably would be back to teach the fun stuff too! From what I've seen of you here; you've seemed to enjoy teaching on the whole. (At least, that's what it sounded like with your posts here)

2:29 pm

uusue2

I do, nef, although I am also ready to relax!

2:29 pm

Oh crud...sorry...that's wrong. I have one that has to do with the big thing in the middle of your face...

I totally understand, sue. I'm "retired;" but still enjoy being a nurse so am volunteering a few times a month at my last work place.... For me at least, it's been kind of tough walking away from something I loved so much for over 45 years.that

doing okay, too. Arguing with my daughter online; so staying off FB for now. (She always wins when we argue!) :-/

2:52 pm

periwinkle

needanother break,bbl

2:52 pm

Nef

I posted something *I* thought was funny on her FB page about a picture; she didn't think it was funny and told me not to post on her anymore. I deleted my remark, and offered to "unfriend" her; then she was offended bythat!

2:53 pm

Nef

(In other owrds; no biggy; but she's kind of touchy right now I guess. And I'd taken her out for supper last night too!)

2:54 pm

Nef

words, that was

2:55 pm

MollyL

Aw Nef, I'm sure you meant no harm.

2:56 pm

stidgmere

Hello. Back after lunch and hoping to get to 100 words.

2:57 pm

Nef

I didn't; I think she's just PMS-ing or something (and I shouldn't write that about another female, should I?) But anyway; I know she'll be calling after she settles down after a while

2:57 pm

Nef

hi stidg.

2:58 pm

stidgmere

Hi nef. Facebook can be so touchy. I am not using it currently but still have an account.

3:01 pm

Nef

my dtr. always gets super sensitive when she has a change in her routine; and she just finished her derby schedule for the year. I should remember things like that.

3:01 pm

MollyL

It's okay to write that about another female. We recognize it in each other. The written word is two dimensional communication and it loses something without vocal inflection and facial expression.

3:03 pm

stidgmere

Derby as in Kentucky? A friend just gave me her favorite horse's name for the race. I just look at the hats, listen to the trumpet, and watch the colors of the jockeys.

3:08 pm

Nef

No, stidg; it's derby as in roller derby. She's been doing this for over 3 years now. And the only time she got hurt during that time was tripping over a curb last fall walking from work! (She spreained her ankle bad enough to keep her out of the 1st 2 bouts of the season)

3:09 pm

Nef

Flat track women's roller derby is a growing sport here; and there's even a men's flat track derby league now too

3:12 pm

stidgmere

We have roller derby in the NW and the local team is the Oly Rollers.

3:14 pm

Nef

we have 2 womens leagues here: the Minnesota Roller Girls are in St. Paul (and are owned by someone) and the North Start Roller derby is in Mpls and is owned by the players (my dtr belongs in that league)

3:15 pm

Nef

North STAR roller derby, that is

3:16 pm

stidgmere

North Star, Start, interesting possibilities. I've always wanted to be a start and so on.

3:17 pm

Nef

And I appreciate the fact you mentioned the Kentucky Derby! We always watched that when I was growing up! Once upon a time (before the Great Depression) my grandfather had horses that raced there.

3:17 pm

Nef

LOL!

3:18 pm

Nef

BTW, I still got the name wrong. They are the North Stars.... Geez, no wonder my dtr. is upset with me! :-)

3:20 pm

stidgmere

Typing errors, and so forth are pretty low on the priority for getting upset. Unless perhaps it is a decimal point badly misplaced--then people would only think you work as a bookkeeper for the government.

3:20 pm

Nef

true! :-)

3:23 pm

Nef

how is life treating you, stidg?

3:25 pm

ivesy3

ivesy3

oops just got it nm

3:26 pm

Nef

sorry, ivesy, I don't have any 8's yet

3:26 pm

stidgmere

Very nicely nef. We are staying home now that we have our puppy who is just a year and a half old. My husband bought a small sailboat and he is having so much fun getting it ready to sail. He even has taken some lessons but still feels very much like an apprentice. I'm trying my hand at playing with a community orchestra. It is a challenge and gets me well out of my comfort zone.

3:26 pm

stidgmere

No 8s here.

3:28 pm

Nef

sounds like fun; stidg! What instrument do you play?

3:28 pm

stidgmere

Piano. Because we have so few members, I am playing the bass part on the piano!

3:29 pm

Nef

WOW! Sounds like fun!

3:29 pm

Nef

How many members are there?

3:30 pm

stidgmere

Perhaps fifteen. My grandson is playing trumpet for the group and that is who told me they needed a piano player.

3:31 pm

Nef

that's nice that he would think of you to do that with him.

3:33 pm

stidgmere

I agree, Nef. It is so nice to be included and invited!!

3:33 pm

sammysmom

Nef

3:33 pm

sammysmom

it is so irritating ti have these ":non words" that no person has ever used or will use

3:34 pm

stidgmere

So many opportunities lost on the grid, I have wanted geesen but not getting it.

3:34 pm

Nef

3:35 pm

sammysmom

3:35 pm

Nef

LOL!!

3:35 pm

stidgmere

Yes, the three os in the column beg for a lot more x's. Tic tac toe.

Good one, stidg!

5:48 pm

Nef

hi again. via, I'm complaining!

5:48 pm

cosdem

not sure.. just got here

5:48 pm

MollyL

It's inevitable that people will complain about a grid. It's the nature of Babble : )

5:49 pm

viajes

but today there are real words that I actually say in real life sometimes. Yesterday was all gibberish!

5:49 pm

cosdem

lol true dat molly

5:49 pm

Nef

Very true, Molly.

5:49 pm

MollyL

I agree about yesterday, it was a gibberish fest.

5:49 pm

cosdem

most of the big words end the same anyway

5:49 pm

viajes

I'm just surprised is all

5:50 pm

viajes

my fake word of the day is "antness" I've decided.

5:50 pm

MollyL

And then there are the people who ALWAYS say "Fun Grid!" even when everyone else is pulling their hair out.

5:50 pm

viajes

We should all embrace our inner antness.

5:50 pm

cosdem

i was gonna joke about to7 ... but decided to try it first and it turns out to be a word

5:50 pm

MollyL

Hey, it's all about moving that rubber tree plant

5:51 pm

viajes

I did the same thing with the wa7, cos

5:51 pm

cosdem

took me forever for that wa7

5:51 pm

viajes

I found it to test it before I typed it here as a joke :D

5:52 pm

cosdem

lol nice... a lot pf phantoms too

5:52 pm

viajes

Molly, some people love crazy grids because they like pain and suffering.

5:54 pm

MollyL

And some people have just seen "Pleasantville" too many times : )

5:55 pm

cosdem

does zero times count as too many? :)

5:55 pm

MollyL

Not you Cos, that movie is too fluffy for you

5:56 pm

cosdem

:) i did buy a movie today... "the witches of oz" --- about the characters of OZ . and the wicked witch decides to try to take over earth -- starting in new york city with christopher lloyd. should be interesting

5:56 pm

stidmama

Grid looks hairy... Should Inrisk it?

5:57 pm

MollyL

Cos, sounds like a spin on "Wicked".

5:57 pm

cosdem

no its not that bad stid

5:57 pm

stidmama

Okay cos, I'll give it a go. *splash*

5:57 pm

cosdem

kinda.. wicked takes place in OZ and doesnt have dorothy for the most part.. this movie takes place on earth and has dorothy as the lead

5:58 pm

viajes

okay, is the ta8 related to the ta7 before it? it seems like it has to be but I can't figure it out...

5:59 pm

cosdem

5:59 pm

6:00 pm

6:07 pm

MollyL

Hey dog owners, do dogs really need to be told to go to the bathroom? Don't they know that is what outside is for? I'm so sick of hearing my neighbors tell their dogs to "go potty". Seriously?

6:08 pm

torgone

Ha! Seriously ..

6:08 pm

viajes

haha

6:09 pm

viajes

is the final go7 related to the 5 and 6 before it?

6:09 pm

Nef

Molly, our neighbors once owned a retired police dog (big beautiful German Shepherd). She needed to be told to "do your duty" before she would go....

6:11 pm

torgone

Plausible deniability .. So the dog could say "I was only following orders" if it got in trouble ..

6:12 pm

viajes

wow Nef

6:12 pm

MollyL

I had no idea people trained their dogs to "go on command". Poor dogs, there ought to be one thing they can do on their own time.

6:13 pm

cosdem

my dog will go when he needs to. not when i want him to

6:13 pm

cosdem

i know what its like trying to go on command.. doctors do that all the time!

6:13 pm

onyx

Isn't all the time a dogs time? Or a cat for that matter too.

6:14 pm

cosdem

no viajes just found it.. not related

6:15 pm

Nef

She was a very beautiful sweet dog. She died of old age (according to the vet; they found her dead in her kennel one morning). We all missed her terribly after she died

6:19 pm

6:28 pm

go7 is the English/Irish mashup of the French word for boy ..

6:28 pm

MollyL

Um, Bich...um...what happens when there is a week of rain? : O

6:29 pm

bichon

they sneak down into the basement when I am not looking and leave to door open and do it in a corner where I cannot find it. Of course after a while my nose will lead me to it. Bichons might look cute and fluffy but there is a brain in there

Anti-Imperialistic Conference, Chicago, Illinois, October 17, 1899: â€œI confidently trust that the American people will prove themselves â€¦ too wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under that deceptive cry of mock patriotism: â€˜Our country, right or wrong!â€™ They will not fail to recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling to the watchword of true patriotism: â€˜Our countryâ€”when right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right.â€™â€â€”Schurz, â€œThe Policy of Imperialism,â€ Speeches, Correspondence and Political Papers of Carl Schurz, vol. 6, pp. 119â€“20 (1913).

my sister lived in calgary for a time . . . my younger fantasy was to cross country ski from banff. . . i heard there were leantos

10:37 pm

Altagolfnut5

and I don't cross country ski either! But that would be a beautiful trip

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

banff is so beautiful. . . i have been there a few times

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

once with the snow falling on my while swimming in the hot springs

10:39 pm

some years it can be miserable and below freezing for weeks at a time

10:42 pm

jmcnrick

nothing to you up there i know!

10:43 pm

Altagolfnut5

we actually had a fairly mild winter, only plugged my car in 7 or 8 times, but it was still winter

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

i grew up in texas where if it gets below freezing for more than 2 nights in a row it is a tragedy

10:45 pm

Altagolfnut5

lol, like Vancouver when they get the odd snow, the city shuts down! no-one knows how to drive with a couple inches of snow!

10:45 pm

jmcnrick

well in DC things get pretty crazy when it snows because it is so seldom we don't have enough plows for more than a few inches
