jillibus

Hello late again!

12:34 am

flosey

monkeyed the 8 and 9, yes, odd words

12:34 am

jillibus

OOf -- a biggie and I have other plans for tomorrow.

12:34 am

flosey

hi jilli

12:36 am

pugmama763

finally found an 8

12:36 am

cybernan

does the po 8-9 build from the 7?

12:37 am

flosey

no nan, they come before the 3 po7s I have

12:37 am

pugmama763

its a weird IN 7-8 normally spelled EN

12:39 am

flosey

sorry, that should read 2 po7s I have

12:44 am

stidmama

hey all, just got in and have NBT -- trying for halfway tonight. Flosey and Jill, I wish you could have seen (and heard) Mother and Matthew playing tonight. It was such a lovely community concert!

12:45 am

cybernan

oh well - not seeing the pos nor the in's -- 175 down so maybe I should just be happy with that!

12:45 am

flosey

would love to have seen/heard them stid, sorry, don't know what they play?

12:45 am

stidmama

good job nan!

12:46 am

flosey

nan, do you want a clue?

12:46 am

stidmama

Mother plays the piano, and Matthew the trumpet. It's Mother's first official time on stage as a musician!! *proud daughter look*

12:46 am

cybernan

sure

12:47 am

flosey

an 'im' would make it easier

12:47 am

flosey

oh wonderful stid, wish I could have heard them

12:48 am

cybernan

stidmama

I took some video with my ipad, but unfortunately it didn't turn out very well. *sigh*

12:48 am

stidmama

go nan go!

12:50 am

cybernan

if there is outre5, I think there should be an inre5 -- makes as much sense as a lot of the words we get

12:53 am

stidmama

thanks nan, got me up to 176 with that -- about 8 new words! LOL

12:57 am

cybernan

ah - found the in 7-8

12:58 am

stidmama

yippee nan!

1:00 am

pugmama763

an archaic variant apparently of the familiar En according to Merriam Webster

1:03 am

cybernan

200 + down -- good night all :)

1:03 am

stidmama

sweet dreams nan

1:06 am

stidmama

I am past 200 too, and also heading to sleep. good night all! *poof*

1:06 am

asellus

hello all

1:06 am

asellus

I am new here, having fun so far :)

1:07 am

flosey

welcome asellus, glad you are enjoying babble, this is a fair sized grid

1:09 am

pugmama763

just fount the most ridiculous MI8

1:09 am

flosey

wtg pugs

1:10 am

pugmama763

not celebrating, it only makes 2 of the 5 8's for me

1:10 am

flosey

just found one mi8, and it is a bit odd

1:10 am

rururocks

that's two more than I have

1:11 am

jillibus

stid -- I just got back here, scrolled back a bit, and saw your bit about your mother and Matthew making music -- lovely!

1:12 am

pugmama763

anyone else getting driven batty by the phantom miscreant(s) in the grid ?

1:13 am

jillibus

I left here to read an email which turned out to be from my lovely teacher-granddaughter. And she said her brother has just become a prof at UBC (University of British Columbia) -- whoopee! He's been a Teaching Assistant and that had expired -- he had been worried about finding a job, so now he has one! Yay!

1:14 am

sammysmom

how very nice ji......... i love it when the younger generation gets good things

1:15 am

sammysmom

yes pug and i wonder how the powers that be got to be the powers that be... surely not by using these assinine words???????

1:16 am

pugmama763

indeed, 'tis a mystery

1:17 am

flosey

just found the second mi8

1:17 am

asellus

what is mi8?

1:17 am

pugmama763

99 left and not enough interest left go go to list

1:18 am

flosey

a word starting with mi and contains 8 letters

1:18 am

pugmama763

have a good night all

1:18 am

asellus

ah gotcha

1:18 am

flosey

goodnight pugs

1:19 am

asellus

i am guessing that the information saying that there are words that are mi8 are for the Pro upgrade?

1:21 am

flosey

we call them as we find them asellus, but there is a list of clues that give the first 2 letters plus number of letters in the word

1:22 am

asellus

ah

1:22 am

flosey

yes, I believe (?) you must join to get them - please correct me anyone, if I'm wrong there, have been pro for so long

1:23 am

flosey

but players often call the bigger words as they find them - gives us something to look for

1:23 am

asellus

cool thanks for the info

1:24 am

rururocks

I cannot find the in 8

1:24 am

flosey

you're welcome asellus, it is only $15. I believe, to join, for a lifetime membership

1:24 am

jillibus

hi ruru

1:24 am

rururocks

ah

1:24 am

rbud

you found Lickety's Clue List, asellus?

1:24 am

1:25 am

rururocks

hi granny

1:26 am

asellus

ah i see it now

1:26 am

grannyrose

hello rur, rbud, flosey, jilli, and welcome asellus

1:26 am

jessmom

asellus, the clue list is avalable at lickety's site and is not part of the membership. After two weeks of free membership, the tile stats and word stats below the grid will disappear. You need to join to keep that info on the page.

1:27 am

flosey

hi rose

1:27 am

rbud

we use the list shamelessly when all braincells and hints have failed - or when in a big hurry to get done. :)

1:27 am

2:10 am

jillibus

nice weather, I guess?

2:11 am

rubyfoo

pretty good weather. Some rain, but also sun. And it is not too hot, which I am happy about.

2:11 am

rubyfoo

oh and the view! A lovely garden, then a lake, then mountains!

2:12 am

jillibus

Sounds like here, except it's the sea, not a lake.

2:13 am

jillibus

I've seen photos of that area in France and it is indeed beautiful.

2:13 am

rubyfoo

it is amazing. To wake up to such a view, and then have breakfast looking at it... wow. And I love talking with ruby and her husband. :)

2:14 am

jillibus

<-- sighs in contentment

2:14 am

grannyrose

2:15 am

jillibus

2:17 am

rubyfoo

*wipes rose's memory selectively clean*

2:17 am

jillibus

thnk about how many times it's very successful

2:19 am

grannyrose

thanx dear friend. good news, bathroom nearly to painting stage. himself has prepared the tiles for grouting, and the cement-plaster to bevel the edges. then only filling and sanding to do...then the painting. girls, i may actually be coming home to a completely renovated bathroom.

2:20 am

rubyfoo

well I'd say that is essential, rose. You will need one. :)

2:20 am

ursh

hi all - rose - if it helps my Mom had a hip replacement at age 86 - followed all instructions to the T especially physio's exercises etc and was driving again within 6 weeks and said the pain relief immediately after the op was "magic"

2:21 am

rubyfoo

hi ursh, a good thing to focus on

2:21 am

grannyrose

have made so many lists.last minute packing, post-op on actual day, post-op day 1, etc. have bought enough food to feed an army. * giggle *

2:22 am

rubyfoo

in a few weeks you will be telling is that you don't know why you worried so much and how totally it was worth it :D

2:23 am

grannyrose

thanx urshy, as you say, the pain relief immediately post-op is awesome. i know.it's the complications of which i am very well aware that worry me. but then, i have the constitution of a mallee bull.

2:23 am

jillibus

think of all the loving care you'll be getting too

2:24 am

grannyrose

too true, jilli. all the staff know me well. and i have already bought a huge box of choccies for my fellow workers/friends to thank them for their caring support over the last 14 months

2:25 am

rubyfoo

well, complications are an exception, not a rule, rose. Try and have faith *hugs*

okay, i will. oohhh, btw. we are having a team from another church visiting us on sunday. a team of children who have been studying how to pray, and they will be available after the service. will feel a little strange for me...an elder of our church, asking kids to pray. very humbling. but i think that is where my Lord wants me to be.

it is taking way too long to get a copy of my birth certificate. dept of vital records has a new computer system but they are still behind 2 whole months. I am doing this by mail. if I knew it would take so long I would have gone downtown. I am glad I did not have to cancel any major plans.

Good, cause â™ª there ain't no way to hide â™« your lawyer mind â™«

Per stirpes sounds like what you do at the gynecologist.

2:22 pm

MollyL

Oh that's easy for me. 100 bucks for you and 100 bucks for him.

2:23 pm

jmcnrick

you have to choose either per capita (divided equally among everyone living regardless of rank in family)

2:23 pm

jmcnrick

or per stirpes (divided it by family and then the members of the family divide it)

2:24 pm

jmcnrick

sort of hard to explain without pictures or about 5 minutes. . . that is why the word is useful

2:24 pm

6:35 pm

6:36 pm

Uneaixoise

wow, how cool, glan!!

6:36 pm

periwinkle

I bet, I remember you spoke of it the other day. sounded like a lot of work.

6:36 pm

Glantarell

it has taken me weeks to work out and write the murder and then turn it into 5 sworm statements and the testimony of 5 servants plus the odd IOU and love letter

6:36 pm

o-o

Congratulations, Glantarell, for getting it done right

6:37 pm

Glantarell

and then work with a designer to make the documents look vaguely medieval plus recruit 5 volunterrs and get thier costumes together

6:37 pm

periwinkle

indeed, Congrats to you, Glant!!

6:37 pm

Glantarell

and find people who would create medieval canapes to a pretty low budget!

6:37 pm

Glantarell

i am happy - and i think we will run it monthly until spetember

6:38 pm

Glantarell

all the volunteers have said thye'll do it again

6:38 pm

Glantarell

the weakest performance was actually by the author

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

I am intrigued by medieval canapes. What did they have?

6:38 pm

Glantarell

but he is 81

6:39 pm

Glantarell

they had soem little fritters made mainly form cottage cheese, which had a blob of cherry sauice on top

6:39 pm

Glantarell

and little tartlets with a filling which sounds weird but tasted nice - something with spinahc and raisins

6:40 pm

Glantarell

and little gingerbread balls - they were a bit hard on the teeth

6:40 pm

Bugsaw

i would love to attend something like that Glantarell. Well done indeed

6:40 pm

Glantarell

nd hippocras and almond water

6:41 pm

Glantarell

and bless them - the volunteers all dressed up in medieval costume and not only delivered their c=scripts with most of the clues in them, but also came to the hall afterwatrds and served the canapes!

6:41 pm

Glantarell

i am so grateful to them and the 2 castel staff who worked till 10.30 this evening

6:41 pm

periwinkle

sounds like all went well for you, Glant.

6:42 pm

how did you happen to have this enormous task, Glant?

6:42 pm

Uncover

Wow! I wish I could have been there for the evening

6:42 pm

Uneaixoise

glan, are you Adrienne? was reading about it online . . .

6:42 pm

Glantarell

and a TV company who were just supposed to film the author (they are making a documentary about him) also seemed to be filming other things - like me briefing people!

6:42 pm

periwinkle

wow, Glant!

6:43 pm

Glantarell

the original idea was that the author wrote it and i organsied it - all at the suggestion of an organisation called literatrue wales

6:43 pm

Glantarell

yes i am adrienne = please don;t tell m my name's out there LOl

6:44 pm

MollyL

NOW WE KNOW

6:44 pm

Uneaixoise

ok, was in article :-)

6:44 pm

periwinkle

I'll never tell

6:44 pm

Glantarell

anyway, the author found he was out of his depth and also had a retinal bleed so I foolishly took on the writing - which too me many many more hours than i imagined it would lol

6:44 pm

Glantarell

oh, need to know where the article is now LOL

6:44 pm

Uneaixoise

jeezomeez!

7:00 pm

MollyL

No A in that word for me.

7:00 pm

Glantarell

well, people like doctirs and pathologists use it

7:00 pm

Glantarell

ordinary people don;t

7:01 pm

Glantarell

but it always has an A :-)

7:01 pm

7:01 pm

Glantarell

what the pastor does on sunday

I guess it all depends on where you live. Doctors here don't use the word with an A in it.

7:02 pm

Glantarell

pr7?

7:02 pm

kje

does not have an a in the states (as one who uses it)... but yes, in GB it does

7:03 pm

7:11 pm

Glantarell

reciprocity?

7:11 pm

o-o

so you have to take an exam?

7:12 pm

Glantarell

oh New Zealand - I love it there

7:12 pm

I was looing up all the SF songs the other day, br... there are lots

not usually as easy as an exam

7:13 pm

kje

geriatrician

7:13 pm

kje

for example, trained physicians coming here must repeat a residency to get a license in the US

7:13 pm

Glantarell

ok, in English - does this mean you are a doctior of geriatric patients?

7:13 pm

kje

yes, glant

7:13 pm

Glantarell

I don't think we have specialists in that field

7:13 pm

Glantarell

but i wish we did

7:14 pm

o-o

are you getting jerked around in dallas?

7:14 pm

Glantarell

my 77 year old father was taken into hospital last year

7:14 pm

kje

yes, the UK does, not sure what name though, but yes, have met them at geri conferences

7:14 pm

Glantarell

he had pretty advanced alzheimers

7:14 pm

Glantarell

they put him on a genral ward and dinlt chekc on him

7:14 pm

kje

sorry, glant

7:15 pm

o-o

maybe johns hopkins now will provide health coverage?

7:15 pm

Glantarell

one of th eother patients actually helped him after buzzing the nurses for 30 minutes hadn;t raised a response after my father had fallen out of bed

7:15 pm

Glantarell

he tried to climb over the bedrails

7:16 pm

kje

oh wow, glant, that is horrible

7:16 pm

Glantarell

this happened 3 nights on the run and my mother discharged him because she felt he'd get better treatment at home

7:16 pm

kje

JH always provides health coverage

7:16 pm

Glantarell

and she is 77

7:16 pm

MollyL

That's awful Glant

7:16 pm

cybernan

what the heck is a sa 8?

7:16 pm

kje

indeed, glant, home is always best if the family can do it

7:17 pm

Glantarell

it was - they are just not set up for 'difficult' patients 0- he was just completely disorientated by being in a strange place with nobody he knew

7:17 pm

o-o

I perhaps misunderstood. I thought you choose dallas because the other finalist did not provided health coverage

7:17 pm

MollyL

I'm sorry to hear that Glant. My Dad had Alzheimer's too and it requires special care.

7:17 pm

kje

nope, never said that

7:18 pm

kje

yes, delirium is common in a strange place, glant - glad your mother was able to take him home

7:18 pm

Bugsaw

that is terrible Glant1 My mother is in a wonderful place especially designed for dementia patients. When she used to get up and wander around at night, the nurses put a special chair and a radio just for her beside their station and she would go there instead of into others' rooms

7:18 pm

Glantarell

it does and my mother provided it but she was way out of her depth and got very little support - he died last July and I have to say ot was a reliief - i think he gave up

7:19 pm

kje

so sorry to hear, glant

7:19 pm

MollyL

Bugs, my Dad got care like that too and I was very grateful for it.

7:19 pm

kje

special AD units are becoming more common, always best to have staff trained to deal with them properly

7:19 pm

Glantarell

caring for thise with demetia is not something we do well in this country

7:19 pm

Glantarell

perhaps becuse all healthcare is free

7:19 pm

Bugsaw

I am younger that 77 and could not deal with that.

7:20 pm

Glantarell

I could never have done what my mother did - he was incontinent and also went wandering

7:20 pm

kje

it is not done well in most countries, glant

7:20 pm

o-o

I am experiencing symptoms of dementia and pray to die.

7:20 pm

kje

best I have seen is in some of the sacndinavian countries

7:20 pm

Glantarell

i took him on a 5 hour drive and he opended the car door, grabbed the gearstick, put the sun visors upmand down

7:21 pm

Glantarell

oh no BR

7:21 pm

Glantarell

I think I have early signs too - but they may be stress symptoms

7:21 pm

MollyL

Care for those with Alzheimer's on a fixed or median income in this country is horrible.

7:22 pm

kje

usually, it is a good rule of thumb that if you think you have dementia, you likely don't

7:22 pm

Glantarell

my father would never play word games or do crosswords, play scrabble or otherwise exercise his brain but his mother had alzheiners too and so does his sister - who is 93

7:22 pm

Glantarell

ha ha ha kje

7:22 pm

Bugsaw

BR you must be terribly frightened. Has it been confirmed or are you like the rest of us and just loosing cells faster because of stress.

7:22 pm

Glantarell

here's hoping

7:23 pm

o-o

I am not frightened .... I have been a waste of resources for a long time .... lets be done with it

7:23 pm

Glantarell

i can remember the date and the presidents name but i have fiubd myself looking at the microwave and wondering what to do

7:23 pm

MollyL

Glant, my Dad was brilliant, did word puzzles all the time and he still got Alzheimer's. I'm not sure I believe that "brain exercise" makes a difference.

7:24 pm

leighprefect

'ello 'ello..

7:24 pm

Glantarell

the thing it took form my dad was the ability to speak - and he was a chatterbox so it hot him very hard

7:24 pm

MollyL

((BR)) I'm sorry you feel that way.

7:24 pm

Glantarell

Me too BR

7:24 pm

Bugsaw

BR, I think you area the best at giving clues and you are so fast at it. I cannot find myself agreeing with you. Absolutely NOONE is a waste of resources. You have a right to be here and would be terribly missed.

Doing OK. Went to the Dentist this afternoon.....just the really fun stuff.

MollyL

Oh yeah, I have an expensive dentist visit in my forecast. Fortunately, he has reasonable prices and has never hurt me.

8:36 pm

gapeach

That is good. Mine is really nice....I've been with him since he started practice many years ago.

8:37 pm

MollyL

I have been going to my dentist, and his Dad, since I was 5. : D

8:38 pm

gapeach

I told mine that he couldn't retire until I die.

8:41 pm

MollyL

I feel the same way. If anything happens to my dentist, I will start practicing self-dentistry like the guy in Ca4away.

Yep.

help with the RE 5/14 and 6/24 combo (second 5/14) please

9:21 pm

Bugsaw

re 6 is almost the word for playtime in elementary school.

9:21 pm

Bugsaw

the re6 is the singular of that

9:22 pm

wvteach

thnx bugsaw - would never have monkeyed that

9:22 pm

Bugsaw

I couldn't do it either, just passed on my hint

9:29 pm

stidgmere

ty bugsaw. To think I would not see the petite pause.

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

hey g/mere.

9:31 pm

stidgmere

Hi bugsaw. Looks like summer down here. Gray skies wtih touches of blue.

9:32 pm

Bugsaw

I wish summer would make it this far north! Victoria is doing well but not us

9:33 pm

stidgmere

Your summer cannot be far behind.

9:33 pm

Bugsaw

I sure hope so. I need some sunshine and fresh air

9:34 pm

wvteach

out in BC last summer and even in southern BC there was still lots of snow beginning of July

9:34 pm

wvteach

but it was beautiful and we loved our visit - my nephew got married there

9:34 pm

Bugsaw

I wish we had known you were sort of close wvteach. Maybe a Babble meet could have been organized

9:35 pm

stidgmere

I washed rugs today. Hoping to get as much freshness into the house as possible. Now that it is summer, a Bubble meet or Babble meet would be delightful!

9:35 pm

wvteach

we were very near cybernan - but she was off on a trip

9:36 pm

wvteach

but a meet would have been fun

9:36 pm

Bugsaw

oh too bad teach. That is a beautiful area. My father grew up in Kelowna so we used to go there in the summer when I was a kid

9:36 pm

wvteach

We were in Manning Park for the wedding and there for 5 days

9:37 pm

Bugsaw

Did you play with the gophers in Manning Park? My boys loved doing that when they were little.

9:37 pm

wvteach

His new wife is from Vancouver and they now live there - he goes to the University for a PhD in music (composing and conducting)

9:38 pm

wvteach

Didn't see any gophers there actually

9:39 pm

Bugsaw

Well then you must come back another time all the way to the coast and we will have a west coast meet for sure. I guess the gophers are gone now but the scenery will always be magnificent

9:39 pm

wvteach

I certainly hope to get back there. Went down the coast to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and loved the whole trip out west

9:39 pm

Bugsaw

stidgemere it would be fun to have another meeting in the summer but I might have to do some fancy dancing with finances to make it

9:40 pm

Bugsaw

that is where the stid family is teach. I wish we had known

9:41 pm

wvteach

on the Olympic peninsula?

9:42 pm

Bugsaw

yup. we had our west coast meet there and visited stidgemere's home right on the water. it was lovely

9:43 pm

wvteach

love the beaches - we have beautiful hills here in WV - but no sandy lakes or beaches - grew up on Lake Michigan and miss beaches

9:44 pm

Bugsaw

jillibus and I came from Vancouver Island and mccurl and Pinikula came up from Oregon and jmc came all the way from the east coast. There were others too but I have to look at the pictures

9:45 pm

wvteach

we were there last summer in the end of July

9:45 pm

wvteach

stayed in Forks for a week

9:46 pm

stidgmere

Maybe we could come to Vancouver Island and make it closer to your home. We travel this time.

9:46 pm

Bugsaw

oh for Pete's sake. my husband and I were on a camping holiday last July and we went down the west coast of Wash. We were in Forks!

9:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

pencil!

9:47 pm

Bugsaw

That would be so much fun stidgemere! I would be happy to host it. I have a small house but a big yard and lots of nice places to stay for people who don't want to camp in the back.

9:47 pm

Bugsaw

LOL Gwen.

9:49 pm

wvteach

what a small world this is - hope to meet up with all of you some time - need to go off and get ready for tomorrow - will be teaching a class of kids in a summer enrichment class

9:50 pm

saanichcat

sorry to but in, but just to let you know that the lower Van Island is buzzing with Babblers...as you know! Could be quite an event!

9:50 pm

Bugsaw

bye teach. have fun tomorrow

9:51 pm

Bugsaw

hey saanich. Please come up this way for a Babble meet. You and I have not met yet but I wud love to get together. I only know of you, Jilli and Flosey

9:51 pm

saanichcat

where are you?

9:52 pm

Bugsaw

Courtenay Comox

9:53 pm

saanichcat

ooooh, that easy, nice drive and an Aunt I can stay with! Is this a plan-in-progress or has a date been set?

9:55 pm

stidgmere

Just starting the conversation saanich. Would love to see you again!! I enjoy the Comox area so much. There are great fossil areas and a good museum.

9:56 pm

Bugsaw

the idea for me to host it just came to me during this visit saanich. I have 3 more days of work and then I am retired so I will have time to organize stuff if people want to do it

9:56 pm

saanichcat

I agree, would be great to have another hug!

9:56 pm

Bugsaw

please come. Just not next week...

9:57 pm

Bugsaw

late July or August would give us time to organize, plan and invite

9:57 pm

stidgmere

Let's talk this up and come up with a firm plan for a July or August couple of days.

9:57 pm

saanichcat

agreed on that

9:58 pm

stidgmere

Agreed here, too saanich and bugs.

9:58 pm

Bugsaw

this is exciting! my husband will finally find out who I talk to when I am ignoring him

9:58 pm

uusue2

lurking and listening - sounds awesome!

9:59 pm

saanichcat

It IS exciting! A surprise babble meet, just like that!

9:59 pm

Bugsaw

I will set up an email address that I won't mind posting.

10:00 pm

uusue2

I have been thinking of doing a grand Babble tour after I retire...

10:00 pm

Bugsaw

please come uusue. I know it is a long way and then we live on an island so there are ferry fares too but it is definately worth the visit.

10:00 pm

saanichcat

Sounds like a plan. Then we can tell flosey and jilli. and a cioule more whive here but are lurkers

10:00 pm

stidgmere

The Babble wheels are churning and the plan is afoot. Hooray!!

10:00 pm

Bugsaw

how long until retirement? our place is always open to any Babblers

10:00 pm

uusue2

I would love to - not sure it will work out this summer though (somehow I have soooo many things to do!!!)

10:01 pm

uusue2

I am retiring at the end of next week, bugs!! 6/30 is my last day.

10:01 pm

uusue2

(really 6/28 as we are on a 4-day week for the summer)

10:01 pm

Bugsaw

well, in 3 more days I will be retired and will have nothing to do but wait for your arrival. :)

10:02 pm

uusue2

well, there you go then :-)

10:02 pm

Bugsaw

6/26 for me. we can toast each other long distance

10:03 pm

stidgmere

Going to ea** out of here now and watch tv. I like the idea of retirement as being a time one actually can wait and not have to jump to. We'll have to have a ban on watches during our visit.

10:03 pm

uusue2

works for me!

10:03 pm

uusue2

night, gmere!

10:04 pm
