Going to eat some worms while you're down there, granny?

1:57 am

grannyrose

lol, tor....so th5 are peeps still he4.

1:58 am

Kazzer99

I am going shortly - need to visit the docs this morning - just a routine blood test but it does take up babble time when I dont see, to have much at the moment

1:58 am

torgone

Yup .. Up a bit later than usual, but oh well ..

1:58 am

grannyrose

hey tor, any words of wisdom for me on how to deal with a hubby who sits in front of a laptop all day, when th5's a bathroom to paint?

1:59 am

ursh

hide the laptop

1:59 am

grannyrose

rofl, hey urshy, how are you, hun?

1:59 am

ursh

hi rose - all good thanks and you ?

2:01 am

grannyrose

much better, thanx urshy. had hydro this AM, pain levels right down.

2:03 am

grannyrose

had 3 new exercises today, so expected the worst and nothing much has happened. :) i think i'm finally on my way.

2:03 am

anike

Rose - my hubby spends his entire time preparing motorcycles for my son and I couldn't list here all the jobs that need doing around this house!!

2:04 am

grannyrose

:( i feel for you sister.

2:05 am

anike

I daren't complain - that would be sacrilege(?) in this house

2:07 am

torgone

A good trick is to start doing something, but do some aspect of it wrong so that his instinct to do it the right way kicks in.

2:08 am

grannyrose

ahhh, like use the wrong sort of sandpaper??

2:08 am

grannyrose

or ask for sandpaper so that i can hand sand the filler. ooohhhh.....th4 would drive him nuts.

2:09 am

anike

No - doesn't work. I'm just going to start paying someone to do things - he still has Yorkshire blood in him

2:09 am

torgone

Men don't like to feel that they're forced into doing something, but we love to butt in and try to make sure something is done the right way ..

2:09 am

anike

Fireworks

2:09 am

grannyrose

btw,are you speaking from experience, tor?

2:09 am

torgone

Yay anike!

2:09 am

grannyrose

WTG ANIKE!!!!!

2:10 am

anike

Anyway- got work to do so will say goodbye. Good to hear you are making progress Rose

2:11 am

grannyrose

oh for goodness sake! my canary has just let loose the most beautiful song, and it's almost dusk.....

2:11 am

anike

Happy babbling everyone - back tomorrow

2:11 am

grannyrose

night, anike, have a good one, hun.

2:12 am

torgone

That's the extreme way to do it - threaten to pay someone else to do a job - A man will absolutely bristle at this ..

2:12 am

grannyrose

tor, have given this guy over 2 years to finish this bathroom....don't think i am forcing him, or nagging, do you?

2:14 am

torgone

Men resist nagging, but most enjoy a challenge - Find a way to challenge him to do it without impugning his masculinity ..

2:15 am

torgone

Or withhold sex - that works too .. ;^)

2:16 am

torgone

But seriously ..

2:25 am

grannyrose

waiting with bated breath, tor......

2:26 am

grannyrose

not going down the sex path....means i miss out also.

2:32 am

grannyrose

okay then, would appear tor has left the building.....and so must i! enjoy the grid fellow babblers.it really is a fun one, with very few strange words in it.

2:33 am

rbud

hi hi hi! what I can't figure out is why, when Hubs was a carpenter/contractor for years, all at once everything wrong in the house is now my problem. if it was wrong with his shop, he'd do it quick. not so in the house!

2:33 am

rbud

but if you must go, that's okay. I just got he4, seems a nice grid as you say. :)

2:46 am

3:05 am

rbud

I had to stop loaning VHS movies from our library because they were coming back from people with them in the cases! :P

3:06 am

crosshair

ugh,my brother got infested with them in NYC and he tells me that they lay eggs in his books on the book shelves

3:07 am

crosshair

he basically had to burn everything and start all over

3:08 am

rbud

yes, when we moved back up he4, we tarped and fumigated our little trailer of stuff repeatedly before moving anything in, then still had to throw out some stuff.

3:08 am

rbud

like my spiral bound cookbook, they were in the spine area still.

3:09 am

crosshair

3:59 am

crosshair

a proper home should always have a nice one

4:00 am

rbud

I totally agree! been nudging the old man for years.

4:00 am

crosshair

was always functional up north as well,was where we kept the secondary wood pile so as to not have to run to the main pile all the time

4:01 am

crosshair

will never forget it..5 bush cord and 2 face cord of soft wood t6o heat a 1500 sq foot home for winter.wood chips and bark everywhere

4:02 am

crosshair

but you got used to it,and there is nothing like coming home to a wood fire after working out in minus 30 all day

4:04 am

crosshair

and not having to rely too heavy on the power lines is nice:)

4:04 am

rbud

have lived in several woodstove homes, very sentimental about it, in spite of the mess.

4:05 am

crosshair

power goes out,you fire up the kerosene lamps and carry on per usual lol just put the freezer stuff out in the snow banks lol

4:05 am

rbud

one year the local Tri-County heat aid people bought our wood for the winter, as it was our only form of he4, kinda neat - usually they just pay folks' heat bills for a couple of months in the winter

4:06 am

crosshair

that is neat

4:06 am

crosshair

you have to be a certain distance up north to get the heat rebate here

4:06 am

rbud

and one year a crew came and built a stand for a 55 gal barrel, and filled it with kerosene, as that was my main form of heat that year.

4:07 am

crosshair

and it is more applied as a tax credit than actual cash or wood

4:07 am

rbud

I've roughed it, for sure. Kerosene heater and a heated waterbed, lol. Long winter.

4:07 am

crosshair

lol,we had a stove like that once! loved it.except our ran on stove oil,

4:08 am

crosshair

it looked like a old round top fridge and you adjusted the heat vents by hand and it had a burner ring you lit with a taper and a small blower fan

4:09 am

crosshair

that little oil heater could blow us right out of the place no matter the temp outside

4:09 am

rbud

the one year we had an oil stove like that, the oil froze in the lines and wouldn't keep it going! luckily we had woodstove backup in the next room. The winter our first baby was born.

4:09 am

crosshair

yes,the stove oil does get thick below minus 25 or so

4:10 am

rbud

ah, the romantic nights in front of the woodstove, teeth chattering, huddling for warmth, gotta love it. :)

4:10 am

crosshair

lol,getting all misty over a old coal oil stove,but it was a nice heat as well

4:11 am

rbud

my grandparents never had anything but wood heat and a wood kitchen stove as well. that baby would run you right out of the house!

4:11 am

rbud

had to open windows.

4:11 am

crosshair

chattering? i do not know what type of wood stove you had,but ours was a old franklin stove could hold 22 inch lengths and if you let it get away on you,you spent all day with the windows open,no matter the temp outside

4:12 am

crosshair

snap

4:12 am

crosshair

love the wood kitchen ranges

4:13 am

rbud

yes, I think Grandpa's living room one was similar, big long stove on its side, very long wood.

4:13 am

crosshair

our hunt camp had one with a water boiler

4:13 am

rbud

Grandma said she couldn't cook on newfangled gas range, hated it.

4:13 am

crosshair

we used to float a 12 volt pool pump in it on 2 blocks of styrofoam and run a line to a shower stall lol

4:14 am

rbud

ingenious! :D

4:14 am

crosshair

it is hard,but once you get used to a wood range and learn its sweet spots,you are good to go

4:14 am

crosshair

at first you usually burn everything to a crisp lol

4:15 am

crosshair

and you can still order them!

4:15 am

crosshair

and combo wood /natural gas/propane

4:16 am

crosshair

i would love a wood/propane combo kitchen range aga range company makes them

4:16 am

rbud

I did spend one winter with just a tall skinny (but very pretty) Red Oak stove, in a badly insulated house, pulled the couches up close and spent the whole winter with my feet right on the skirt of the stove.

4:16 am

rbud

and cooked on top of it, lots of beans and ham.

4:17 am

crosshair

lol,we used to dry our boot liners on the skirts

4:17 am

crosshair

only problem with that type of heat is staying awake after a hard day

4:17 am

crosshair

it is better than any sleeping pill

4:18 am

rbud

that year we were snowed in for over 3 weeks, couldn't get out of the driveway. one day a four-wheel-drive finally came down our road, we shovelled out and followed the tracks in. 20 miles out in the woods, those were the days.

4:19 am

crosshair

big vat of soup or stew on it burbling away,you clean nup,have 2 bowls of soup with fresh crusty bread,sit down in from of wood stove and it is nap time

Babble tells me they are not in the dictionary (eye roll here) and they are not on the Babble list, but they were accpeted by Babble Expert. Maybe Mr P uses a different dictionary? Inquiring minds want to know...

7:05 am

lbdawger

hmm, my computer says i already have a copy, and do i want to replace it. i will, cuz i really miss BE.

7:06 am

Anniebrook

thanks lynxxx, I copied the new link in case I ever need it

7:06 am

lbdawger

windows cannot complete the extraction. destination file could not be created.

7:06 am

godthaab

What is Babble Expert? Is it free? Is there a Mac version?

7:06 am

lynxxx

that sounds awful - sorry

7:07 am

lynxxx

no Mac version godthaab

7:07 am

rubyfoo

when sprite visited, she installed babble expert, but I can't use it

7:07 am

godthaab

OK.....

7:07 am

godthaab

But what does it do?

7:07 am

lynxxx

Maybe email Lickety himself dawg - MRP is a bit spasmodic lately

7:07 am

lbdawger

fiddle, i bet it's not set up for Windows 7. booo hooo

7:08 am

lynxxx

Godthaab - puts licketys list and Babble on same screen...entered words updates both lists similtaneosly

7:09 am

lynxxx

sorry - awful spelling. Its late

7:09 am

lynxxx

why can't you use it Ruby?

7:10 am

godthaab

Wow! I could use that.... Is there a Mac version imminent?

7:11 am

lynxxx

I don't think so...Lickety doesn't do Mac/Apple...and he does it for love so....

7:11 am

godthaab

OK. Thanks.

7:11 am

rubyfoo

don't know, lynxx

7:12 am

lynxxx

but but - do you use the ZBulk Add feature on Licketys list - it is brilliant

7:12 am

rubyfoo

Dh's daughter is coming in Sept, perhaps she can figure it out. Im a computer cluk!

7:12 am

lynxxx

Bulk Add feature was meant for Godthaab

7:14 am

lbdawger

bulk add has saved my bacon.

7:14 am

godthaab

Yes. I know that one.

7:15 am

lynxxx

Bulk Add is great - the hours and hours I used to spend printing out lists and writing the words into them!

7:15 am

lynxxx

not that I am addicted or anything

7:16 am

godthaab

I know.....

7:16 am

Anniebrook

I still print out the list and add the words by hand when Lickety's list is not available and I am NOT addicted either.

7:17 am

lynxxx

ha!

7:18 am

MollyL

When Lickety is down, I put the list on an Exel spreadsheet and add the words. That is quicker for me than doing it by hand.

7:19 am

MollyL

Excel

7:19 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I am so computer illiterate it is laughable

7:20 am

lynxxx

If some-one lovely has put a list on their profile, I will line up the profile against My Word List. Hopefully not looking for too many so quite OK to use that way

7:21 am

rubyfoo

hello Moly, Ruby is fading out with only 126 words..l

7:21 am

Anniebrook

I am able to do that, lynxxx, but as soon as I add a word the list disappears

I remember having to read the Iliad. I liked that.

8:23 am

hokie carla

I didn't hate it, but it's not something I'd read for fun.

8:24 am

Judi

What high school student likes Shakespeare? It's a total slog. Personally, I think Shkespeare is totally overrated. When you think about it... what competition did he have?

8:24 am

hokie carla

and I think we did read it aloud and listened to one of them on a record player.

8:24 am

lynxxx

hated Shakespeare too - only thing I remeber is going to see Brando in Julius Caesar

lynxxx

hello Sprite - nice to have you back looking so refreshed

8:28 am

sprite

thanks :) It was a very good vacation.

8:28 am

Judi

Pfffth. He was a hack. Everyone was just so starved for entertainment and he was the only playwriter in town. He wrote soap op5's for cripe sake.

8:30 am

hurshy

you don't have to like him, but a lot of people do regard him as great. i think your judgment is too sweeping for a mere matter of your taste.

8:30 am

Only playwright in town? What about Marlowe then?

lynxxx

or dogs apparently (where is jmc?)

8:34 am

Riverdance

hiya sprite - welcome back

8:34 am

hurshy

i dunno, i think very sweeping statements about matters of opinion can be kind of offensive on any topic. because it implies that your taste is the gold standard and everyone else's doesn't count

8:34 am

sprite

<--- loves dogs. Loves jmc too.

8:35 am

sprite

thanks River :)

8:35 am

hi Kenny

lynxxx

Expert/Lickety uses a slightly different version of Enable

9:11 am

Kenny Chuck

Hi sprite

9:12 am

sprite

Lickety/mrP use a slightly different version of Enable for the clues, so sometimes the clues have a valid word that is not valid in the Babble version.

9:12 am

.... what Lyn says. Lag makes me slowwww.

basically they give people biofeedback and then people figure out how to use that information to do things that stop their headaches

10:47 am

Yes Haz, fortunately they were still too young to know the value of money. : )

10:47 am

if they're all irish it could be called Green Achers!

I'd probably have eaten them myself and told the children it was for the good of their teeth.

10:47 am

hurshy

sadly, they are not all irish.

10:47 am

Haz1558

There's a bit of Irish in most people if they look hard enough.

10:48 am

they could serve green beer to get rid of their headaches

6:31 pm

crosshair

ouch! you have expensive tastes!

6:31 pm

Have you looked on Amazon Welki - I can see it for sale on there

6:33 pm

redturtlehead

OK...it looks as if I should purchase some storm supplies... I can not take it seriously, but...

6:33 pm

redturtlehead

Marais, it gets easier with practice...and we don't bite or anything, we are nice, right??

6:34 pm

crosshair

well,i have been known to nibble

6:34 pm

hi Marais - if you need help just ask. Most of us use Lickets Clues at some point

6:34 pm

No Cross, see the track started to move west...

6:34 pm

crosshair

ahh..so far from the coast

6:35 pm

cosdem

my friend lives in tampa hes leaving for atl tonight

6:35 pm

MollyL

Welki, your best bet for La Pinta is to have a US friend buy some for you and ship it. And yes, I know it's not kosher to do that, but people do it all the time.

6:35 pm

redturtlehead

We were predicted to get 40 MPH winds. and 4 in of rain...

6:35 pm

Marais

tx -- nice to find friendly chat

6:35 pm

redturtlehead

Cos, your friend is smart, not only that but the convention is going to be a mad house.

6:36 pm

6:38 pm

crosshair

i gave red addy to order nice 3 day hrricane kits...

6:38 pm

redturtlehead

I have some water stored, I was going to go tonight, but...oddly we were in the middle of a fairy bad storm....

6:40 pm

welki

<-- grew up on the east coast

6:41 pm

redturtlehead

I think so. I also work for a hospital, so I am always welcome there.

6:41 pm

welki

crossy, it's a hoarding phenomenon. when a hurricane is imminent, folks pour into stores like roaches in the dark and clean out the necessities

6:41 pm

crosshair

<---grew up in far north where power company often says bye-bye for week at a time

6:42 pm

crosshair

i can imagine welki

6:42 pm

welki

same thing, then - except that i suspect you were a little more self-sufficient than the average bear

6:42 pm

crosshair

thats why i have one of these kits.has shelf life of 5 years

6:42 pm

redturtlehead

I am hoping that we have very few interruptions in power...

red - i live in the prairies, albeit in a city of over a million people. we have a generator and at least a week's supply of water and food (including dog food) - anal maybe, but we're prepared

6:44 pm

crosshair

we also have the kit and non perishables handy

6:45 pm

we get stupid cold weather in the winter, tornado warnings in the summer - in a nutshell, $hit happens when you least expect it

6:48 pm

Cross. Can you advise me. I have had for years Norton 360 as protection. It seems to have a bug which stops me running Chrome or Firefox - and I can't run Norton either. Norton people are unable to get remote access and can't get me thru to repair and replace. Internet Explorer (yuk) working OK. I do have a free copy of MacAfee Security. Should I trash Norton and just use the McAfee???

6:49 pm

welki

7:15 pm

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

redturtlehead

Torgone!

7:21 pm

torgone

Heya red!

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

its just us and the lurker types, Hello Lurkers..

7:23 pm

Christine

Hello, redturtlehead, torgone and all others

7:23 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Christine, how are you?

7:25 pm

Christine

doing nothing, as usual -- retirement is just fine, for a lazybones like me

7:25 pm

redturtlehead

I dream of retirement.

7:28 pm

Christine

Two things at which I excell - lying on the couch and reading all day - in retirement I do just that. I live alone, so I eat/sleep when I want, volunteer a few days a month at the library -- life is very good.

7:30 pm

redturtlehead

oh to have the time to do what I want. Ah well,,

7:33 pm

redturtlehead

this grid is wearing on me...

7:34 pm

Christine

I expected, in retirement, I'd do all those things for which we don't have time while employed - some great museums near me - but my knees and hips went belly-up, and I could barely walk for many years - now I'm gearing up for a second knee replacement, then a hip replacement, then I'll get moving,

7:35 pm

Christine

Well, if you're not at retirment age, it's a blessing to have a job.

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

I suppose...yes I would think I would be unhappy without regular income..

7:37 pm

redturtlehead

good luck with the hip.and knee!!!!

7:37 pm

Christine

my daughter and her husband sell online - no guaranteed income, and I cringe, each month, worrying that they'll make it through their bills.

7:38 pm

redturtlehead

I am a nurse, so employement is a bit more stable...

7:40 pm

Christine

I remember, we were always hearing "well, banking doesn't pay much, but you'll always find a job" until the big flop, when banks started to merge and there were no jobs. I'm so thankful I no longer have to worry about that -- gives me plenty of time to worry about my kid(s).

7:41 pm

redturtlehead

My career has been blessed, I graduated in the huge Shortage, got experience, and now even though there is no real shortage, with the experience, I am still in demand...

7:43 pm

Christine

Thank God. My ypoung neighbour (about 35) has been unemployed for almost two years.

7:43 pm

Christine

oops - young (of course).

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

I can not even imagine. though my sister and BIl have had a similar experience...

7:50 pm

Christine

Time for a cuppa - talk to you soon.

7:52 pm

redturtlehead
