let's have it, crossy

8:54 am

crosshair

The Bee Gees never liked their name. In fact, after Robert Stigwood signed on as the bandâ€™s producer in 1967, the group lobbied to change it. But what could possibly be better than The Bee Gees? The band suggested Rupertâ€™s World. Luckily, their manager nixed the notion.

8:54 am

sprite

funny tidbit, crossy, thanks for sharing

8:54 am

car.eeyore

They started out as "The Brothers Gibb" when their Dad was the manager!

8:55 am

:)

8:55 am

and a tidbit from car as well! :))

8:55 am

You are such a good influence on me Crossy!

8:55 am

the Bee Gees just has a ring to it

Hey, I told my DH that you all were picking on me yesterday for my color coded calendar! He was laughing his butt off!

8:56 am

*grins @ the good influence*

8:56 am

sprite

what the heck is wrong with a colour coded calendar??

8:56 am

bichon

I use Google Calendar and it's color coded

8:56 am

crosshair

not just the calander in and of itself,but how you have it all detailed right into december

8:56 am

crosshair

lol

8:57 am

crosshair

i have no clue what i am doing 5 minutes from now lol

8:57 am

car.eeyore

That has been recommended to me Bichon, but I have to physical write something down and then it is in my brain.

8:57 am

sprite

I call that organised and structured. I could use some of that!

8:57 am

car.eeyore

I don't know 5 minutes from now either Crossy, but starting next week, the boys have swimming on Saturday!

8:57 am

crosshair

i call myself controlled chaos

8:57 am

car.eeyore

I think he just enjoyed that I was getting international shit!

8:58 am

or eclectic dishoarmony

8:58 am

bichon

One of the features of Google calendar is that you can send alerts to your Gmail acocount. I have my Gmail account synced to my Smart Phone. Therefore I get prompts

8:58 am

sprite

well, next week my ki9ds start school again, and all the other stuff belonging to normal life. So yes, I will have to keep a calendar and right now, colour coded sounds great to me :)

8:58 am

sprite

so... now all I need is a smart phone? LOL

8:59 am

bichon

okay, but you can check your gmail account every day

8:59 am

crosshair

my mrs would vote for you car,she says there are some days i cannot find my own caboose with both hands

8:59 am

car.eeyore

It works really well for me. Each person has their own highlighter, so I can just glance at the calendar and the color jumps right out at me.

9:00 am

9:19 am

crosshair

and now,because i found it so interesting,here is a bonus tidbit of the day!!!

9:19 am

crosshair

The first seedless grapes were kind of an accident. Thousands of years ago in the Middle East, a random genetic mutation caused a group of grapes to spontaneously abort their own seeds before the seeds could develop hard casings. The result: seedless produce. To reproduce the fruit, a sly farmer simply cloned the vine (with no seeds, thereâ€™s nothing to plant)â€”meaning that all seedless grapes today are direct descendants of that one mutated grape vine.

9:20 am

Angelsong

my mom made me laugh. she told me, "I think I am going to get rid of a lot of excess clutter and just live with less!"

9:20 am

harpjane

hokie, there are a few words i always type in, even if I don't see them, for example if there is a C in the grid, i try niece. I have missed it so many times it's not funny!

is there anything that bacon cannot do? squee!

i don't recommend polishing shoes with bacon. it excites the cats too much

10:05 am

we have to go pick up a px for our furry darling today. something tells me it's going to be pricey

10:08 am

crosshair

always is

10:08 am

harpjane

We should start an office pool to guess how much it will be. It had to be called into a regular pharmacy, not an animal hospital. Needed to be compounded.

10:09 am

crosshair

amd the pet insurance has so many loopholes

10:10 am

harpjane

We don't have pet insurance. But I bet we would meet the deductible every year....

10:10 am

crosshair

here you can use UP TO 6 grand in one year BUT you can only tap into it once,so if kitty has a 1000 dollar vet bill today and you use the insurance,the rest is lost

10:10 am

harpjane

I should hire him or adopt him so I can write off his expenses.

10:10 am

crosshair

so you have to gamble,do i use it for this or wait in case something more expensive comes along?

10:11 am

crosshair

only way to win is to get a vet to hold the bills till then end of the year and write it all up as a single visit

10:12 am

crosshair

which i have yet to find one that will

10:12 am

harpjane

My sister and I had a contest one year to see who would have the highest vet bill.

10:12 am

crosshair

2 years ago i had one for 1800 dollars

10:12 am

harpjane

technically she won, but her vet was a family friend who wrote off the charges

10:14 am

uusue2

I looked at pet insurance but it looked too expensive for the benefits, so we just hope the animals don't get expensive diseases (so far we have been lucky)

10:14 am

crosshair

kitty nhad a cyst on her tail that exploded and when they fixed that tthey killed all the blood flow to her tail so 1/2 of it was removed

10:14 am

harpjane

We live in Montana where you fall in love with your animals and then sell them at the Fair....

10:14 am

crosshair

suze,you cannot win with pet insurance

10:15 am

hard to think that not so long ago we used audio tapes for memory storage, let alone the big floppys

12:01 pm

kje

Found a floppy case the other day... took me a bit to figure out what it was

12:02 pm

cybernan

I remember a salesman coming into the resource centre where I worked and saying that the floppy discs (5" ones) were going to be obsolete and that the one he held in his hand was the future. It was a silver disc that looked much like the cd we have now only it was the size of a 78 rpm record.

12:03 pm

kje

Wow! I don't even remember those ever being used...hopefully he didn't invest a lot in those

12:03 pm

MollyL

Yes Hursh, because I was creeped out that you cut the power and took out the battery and it was still working.

12:40 pm

Patxxx

Can't properly concentrate on the grid for watching Paralympics. They keep questioning classifications of some who win, which must be hugely stressful when they have to go on.

Dorens

i just finished reading destiny of the republic. did you know that president garfield wouldn't have died from his assassination if the medical community had listened to the mouthwash man? He was not believed for a long time (as many geniuses are often)

4:44 pm

rumplestiltskin

I tried changing the i to e but it won't go

4:44 pm

amelu0218

add the e, rump

Dorens

a book on wheat??

4:48 pm

kje

Yes

4:49 pm

rururocks

is it because you have a rye sense of humor?

4:49 pm

Dorens

largely... but many subplots one involving alexander graham bell.... the politics of the time... kind of fun to be reading about this completely dysfunctional republican convention while listening to tim pawlenty and the like in the background

4:49 pm

Dorens

oh no, don't get him started. he was born and bread to make puns

4:49 pm

kje

5:10 pm

Dorens

this is true!

5:10 pm

redturtlehead

I've used morewords without a list, but its sort of hard to explainhow I used it that way...

5:11 pm

Dorens

and probably harder to understand it

5:11 pm

rururocks

I wouldn't know where to start unless there's only certain options

5:11 pm

lynxxx

I use morewords b4 the list too

hi soods. i just finished the new john grisham and i felt cheated.

5:30 pm

Soodle

I saw something about you been taken out to lunch Molls! Spill the beans.... (metaphorically......)

5:31 pm

Soodle

Why so,TO? Not up to scratch?

5:31 pm

MollyL

No clue what you saw about me being taken out to lunch. Today?

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was quite a thin story. perhaps all the good reviews were from folks looking for a short beach read. though i thought NPR touted it.

5:33 pm

Soodle

Thats a pity TO. Molly, somebody asked how to get todays list & Ru suggested that they take you out to lunch!

5:35 pm

Soodle

I hate it when a favourite author has a new book & it falls short of expectations. John Irving has let me down with his last couple of books. :-(

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just read "In One Person", i thought it ws a bit over the top. i had never read grisham before.

5:38 pm

6:34 pm

periwinkle

and moderate exercise

6:34 pm

spanner

I will never adjust, I will forever crave home made lasagne, cut in wedges, dripping with bechamel sauce and parmesan and accompanied by garlic ciabatta..

6:34 pm

sciencegeek

I love lean protein...could never be a veg head

6:34 pm

periwinkle

spanner, maybe just once in a while and a smaller portion than usual

6:35 pm

periwinkle

sounds delish but fattening

6:35 pm

spanner

I have been diagnosed with diabetes which can be dealt with by diet...

6:35 pm

Dorens

got distracted.. owl?

6:35 pm

spanner

My hobby is cooking....

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol yes?

6:36 pm

sciencegeek

16

6:36 pm

spanner

I adore food, not eating it, just growing it and preparing it, and cooking it, and big family meals...

6:36 pm

Dorens

i am nearly done with In One Person. been enjoying it... but isn't it John Irving, not John Grisham? Or am I just very confused?

6:37 pm

Dorens

managing diabetes by diet is certainly doable. just a lot to learn about carbs.. .simple v. complex etc.

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is. that man can tell a story. but I find the premise a bit farfetched. calico joe is grisham

6:38 pm

Dorens

john irving is always farfetched.... remember garp?

6:39 pm

sciencegeek

Loved garp

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. but this just seems more so than usual. great writer though.

6:40 pm

Dorens

have you read his latest sciencegeek? he's still "got" it

6:40 pm

Dorens

oh, i thought this was actually so much more believable than garp was.. maybe i remember it wrong. but yes, he really does such a great job of telling a story.... another one of those books i almost wish I weren

6:40 pm

Dorens

weren't about to finish

6:41 pm

sciencegeek

No dorens. Currently reading tim powers and watching girl with dragon tatt trilogy

6:42 pm

sciencegeek

Stopping at 14.....see you all tomorrow! crossy, will eat in your dieting honor

6:42 pm

Dorens

ok, you have a treat in store for you... great book if you loved garp

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was the seeming heredity of the protagonist's proclivities that i found odd. i guess his point is that continuum of what is present in one person.

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

because everyone lay somewhere on that contiuum

6:44 pm

Dorens

certainly a disproportionate number of people!

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

exactly!

6:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

but of course the wrestling is in there as well!

6:45 pm

Dorens

but it's john irving... you just expect things to be somewhat skewed, warped, or whatever

6:45 pm

Dorens

i loved the wrestling. i love all the oddball characters too! am going to recommend it to my book group, it should make for some fun discussions

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

miss frost lol i just knew it

6:47 pm

crosshair

spanner,you are killing me

6:49 pm

Dorens

my next book will be gone girl, cause i also just finished destiny of the republic and am due for some light beach reading

6:49 pm

all the foood ive loved before,that now is going out the door,im glad they came along,i weep because they are gone..for all the food that i adore.....waa

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

calico jack is very light. not worthwhile light.

6:51 pm

Dorens

there were certainly a few clues along the way, lol

6:52 pm

Cohen did these shows because his manager ripped him off and he was broke. In one show, he collapsed from exhaustion. Still, a brilliant performance.

hi, all. my dad called earlier to ask if we would like some company tomorrow. He and my mom are coming out for a fish fry. He said they will likely have to stay in the apartment until the end of December, because they have had two contractors back out of rebuilding the house, and it's taking a long time to get required permits and licensed tradespeople to do the work.

am using dee's list

11:15 pm

onyx

?

11:15 pm

MollyL

Dee's list in my profile.

11:16 pm

onyx

How do people come up with these?

11:17 pm

Uneaixoise

no idea :-)

11:17 pm

cosdem

i cant use users list when the grid is this big. lol

11:17 pm

cosdem

but ty anyway

11:18 pm

MollyL

They finish the grid, copy and paste the word list and then delete all but the first two letters and the letters/points. It's a labor of love. And we love Dee.
: D

11:19 pm

MollyL

If you copy a users list into an Excel document, you can type in your words as you go along. It's tedious, but it works for some.

11:20 pm

cosdem

I tried that once. always forgot to add words.

11:20 pm

Uneaixoise

my question is how in the world anyone comes up with all the words withOUT a list in the first place! LOL

11:21 pm

cosdem

top row R greyed.

11:21 pm

MollyL

We are all terribly spoiled by Lickety and God help us if he ever decides to quit doing the list.

11:22 pm

cosdem

we will find another way :)

11:23 pm

cosdem

1 more R.....

11:23 pm

MollyL

I'm pretty sure that the list of 744 finishers would be a lot shorter if that had been a "Non-Lickety" day.

11:24 pm

cosdem

competition would become real lol yikes

11:26 pm

rastapopolous

It feels like a communal effort to me, at flip, everyone is sharing how many they have, and working together. I rather like it, before Lickety comes up.

11:26 pm

MollyL

Well, it would clearly define who can do a grid with no list and who can't. Not being competitive about this game, it wouldn't really matter to me.

11:27 pm

cosdem

right. can find big words without lickety but with a little shove. thats a nice feeliing for me

11:28 pm

MollyL

Yeah Rasta, but getting clues from other people is just as "dependent" as using a list. I think the real challenge is how many words you can find without a list or clues. But that's just me.

11:29 pm

cosdem

that makes sense too

11:30 pm

rastapopolous

so many of the words are non-words, or specialized words. Those who've been doing it a long tima and know all those strange things that Enable accepts.... newbies would never finish. I have a pretty big vocab, but so many I've never seen, and even the linked dictionary doesn't know...

11:30 pm

rastapopolous

I do much better now that I know more of these "babblets"

11:32 pm

rastapopolous

I don't know - it feels like doing a crossword puzzle with my sister, to me. I don't have to do it all alone. I can exult in someone else's cleverness as well

11:33 pm

cosdem

I've finished the grid in less than 30 without a list. thats fun too. makes me feel good about myself btu then again u know...

11:35 pm

MollyL

And that's fine Rasta. I firmly believe that this is a game to be played however you want. But I don't think boasting about how well you are doing without "listing" really counts if you have been asking for clues all day, or scouring the archive of the day for clues. Again, just me.

11:36 pm

rastapopolous

Well, no; no clues means no clues. Turn off chat. Or don't boast. I agree.

11:37 pm

rastapopolous

But I like the chat. I like the community here.

11:38 pm

o-o

There are no written rules for babble other than those found in Help.

11:38 pm

rastapopolous

well, that's true too.

11:38 pm

MollyL

The other day, there was someone who (I swear to God) asked for a clue for every word in the grid. Not much of a challenge, the way I see it. And yes, it's a great chat, and a great community, save a few exceptions that I will not comment on.

11:38 pm

stidmama

((((BR)))) thank you for your words today. *relurk*
