In a remote fishing town on the tip of Scotland's Black Isle, the last native speaker of the Cromarty dialect has passed away, taking with him a little fragment of the English linguistic mosaic.
Academics said Wednesday that Bobby Hogg, who was 92 when he died last week, was the last person fluent in the dialect once common to the seaside town of Cromarty, 175 miles (280 kilometers) north of Edinburgh.

From my profile?
4:35 am
negativeneil
Ok, Matt. :)
4:36 am
negativeneil
You should become a pro member... then you'll have the stats for longer than 2 weeks and a profile.
4:36 am
Shallow One
which stats?
4:36 am
negativeneil
The tile and word stats you see below the grid.
4:36 am
Shallow One
the bottom of the window? or the finished games?
4:36 am
negativeneil
You can only see them for 2 weeks after you register.
4:36 am

Then they will disappear.
4:37 am

ok that was at the same time
4:37 am

I rely on those to finish these grids.

You can listen to that while you Babble. lol
4:39 am
Shallow One
i will, didnt notice the depth of it at first ...
4:39 am
negativeneil
The depth of what?
4:43 am
Shallow One
that there was a sound file connected to it - thought it for something twitterish which i dont do (yet). listening to the recording already. friendly voice
4:43 am
negativeneil
Oh. I twitter... a lot. But mostly just political stuff. Links to articles... that no one reads. :P
4:44 am
negativeneil
It's pretty useless really. All you can do on Twitter is post updates... not too exciting.
4:44 am
grannyrose
not only the voice is friendly, matt. the man behind it is friendly too.
4:45 am
negativeneil
Matt knows that, Rose. He followed me here from Weboggle, where we are connected. :)
4:45 am
negativeneil
So why the "Shallow One" name Matt? You don't strike me as being too shallow?
4:46 am

Thank you, Molly. I will be here on and off.
5:25 am

sue, stay strong and positive. the surgery you mentioned , although quite extensive, is quite routine. surgeons are usually very practiced in it. yes, there will be a fairly long recovery period, but you will be surprised how quickly you will have your Frank back.
5:28 am

dear sue, will be hoping and praying that Frank gets the care he needs and can be fixed up, good as new! {{sue}}

Good for you Ruby. He needs to stop being rewarded for bad behavior.
5:37 am
rubyfoo
it is sad that there was no carryover from his daughter's visit
5:38 am
rubyfoo
but he sees it as my bad bahavior lol
5:38 am
MollyL
It sounds like he has been saving up all his nastiness until she was gone.
5:39 am
rubyfoo
and says nasty things about her now
5:39 am
MollyL
I'm sure he does see it as your bad behavior. Disjointed perception is a symptom of mental imbalance.
5:39 am
rubyfoo
however, I'm glad I invited her and sent her the ticket and she had a wonderful time
5:40 am
MollyL
I'm sure it was nice for you to have someone else around for a while.
5:40 am

yes, and she was a perfect guest

Ah, those are the best kind. ; )

morning, all. I got a very nasty computer virus yesterday. It locked me out of applications and internet access was denied. It was a ghost virus, asking me to pay $60-80 to have "Win 7 Security" clean up the computer. Luckily, I did not spend any money for this bogus program; I called a technician with my ISP and he came over and did some work to restore my computer. I was in full panic mode, because it happened in the middle of my workday.

jm, he is too young for any wisdom, that 20-something
8:14 am
smores
wow JMC- people never cease to amaze me
8:14 am
jmcnrick
really like he had any idea of what it means to lose your spouse. . .
8:15 am
smores
My prayers to you both
8:16 am
jmcnrick
ty smores
8:16 am
Scrabbler
Maybe he has never experienced grief at all. It is a journey unlike any other.
8:17 am
jmcnrick
that ultimately is what i concluded. . .those who have not gone through it sometimes have the mistaken idea it is something you "get over"
8:17 am
MollyL
Pseudo intellects of that age, read something or take a class about something, and assume they know it all.
8:18 am
smores
That it is Scrabbler, while I never lost a mate, my parents and brother death still seems like yesterday sometimes, even though all were over a decade ago
8:18 am
Scrabbler
The young have not experienced enough of life to be humbled by it.
8:18 am
jmcnrick
i personally liked the description that it is like losing a limb. . . you learn to deal and not to think about it all the time and your life goes on you still know that you have lost that limb
8:19 am
jmcnrick
yes. . .i knew a lot more when i was in my 20s too
8:19 am
Buggie
I do love people who think they're expert psychologists when they don't have a clue, saying they have "experience" with people... It's like claiming to be a professional chef because you once made an omelette
8:19 am
crosshair
that is insane idea from that person jmc.mentioning a departed loved one is like opening a much loved and cherished boo,happy parts,sad part,but all well loved stories that nobody should feel bad about telling even decades after their spouse has departed
8:19 am
jmcnrick
haha buggie you nailed it!
8:20 am
MollyL
That's about it Buggie : )
8:20 am
jmcnrick
exactly crossy
8:20 am
smores
I knew everything as a teen :)
8:20 am
Scrabbler
I was my most confident and knowing at age 12
8:21 am
MollyL
Sadly, it's not relegated to teens. There are older people who go on and on about everything, like they are an expert at it.
8:21 am
Scrabbler
My mother comes to mind, Molly
8:21 am
crosshair
in my teens my dad often avised me to move out,get a job,get married and have a few kids while i still knew everything
8:21 am
smores
teehee - my mom told me the same thing
8:22 am
jmcnrick
haha that reminds me of my sister in galveston. . .what she doesn't know her 30 year old son the underemployed genius does!
8:22 am
jmcnrick
*clasps hands over mouth*
8:23 am
Buggie
I see it every day, everywhere, everyone seems to think they know better than people who have dedicated their life to better understanding the mind...
8:23 am
jmcnrick
bad jmcnrick bad!
8:23 am
Scrabbler
The older I get the less I seem to know and the less I understand
8:24 am

very true scrabbler

Scrabbler
I stress to med students, residents, PA and NP students: know your limits, know when to seek help or do research, know what you don't know, remain humble....a person's health depends on all of this
8:27 am
smores
very good advise
8:27 am
Anniebrook
Scrabbler, you are a gem
8:27 am
jmcnrick
that was a lesson given to me by an old lawyer when i first started out. . . if you don't know that answer ask someone who does
8:27 am
smores
not just to the med students - but to all
8:28 am
jmcnrick
i have lived by that lesson in practicing law
8:28 am
Scrabbler
I have encountered far too many cocky health care providers
8:29 am
Scrabbler
Arrogance is a quality that I loathe--such a dangerous state
8:29 am
smores
my mom always told me God gave me two ears and only one mouth for a reason
8:29 am
jmcnrick
and i have know attorneys who would always give you legal advice whether they knew anything about the area of law or not
8:29 am
crosshair
i find that generally a person who does indeed know the most about a topic is also the same person who will pause or have personal doubts before committing themselves to a final answer
8:29 am
Anniebrook
Scrabbler, When I was in the hospital a specialist came to see me...he was so arrogant and dismissive I told him I was going to report him and that he had to leave me room.
8:29 am
jmcnrick
we call them shoot from the hip attorneys
8:29 am
Scrabbler
I like the quote, to paraphrase, better to be quiet and thought of as ignorant, rather than say something and confirm it
8:30 am
jmcnrick
good for you annie!
8:30 am
jmcnrick
i have always liked that quote too
8:30 am
Scrabbler
Good for you, Annie!

nodding and smiling is a great and useful skill ;-
8:30 am

Seems like an easy grid
8:30 am
jmcnrick
oops sorry
8:31 am
Scrabbler
Yes, silence and smiles are safe and smart.
8:31 am
crosshair
yes,twain also quotes it well "better to to be silent and be thought a inbecil than to sopeak and remove all doubt"
8:31 am
crosshair
nothing finer thatn a good listener
8:31 am
Scrabbler
That is the actual quote that I couldn't precisely recall
8:32 am
smores
Twain was great
8:32 am
Buggie
Hah, I discovered that any insuline dependant diabetic needs to have a hidden stash of insuline and needles if they have to stay in hospital, too many doctors (who are not diabetes specialists) will take over the treatment, making a hospital stay very very painful
8:33 am
Scrabbler
Ugh, Buggie
8:33 am
jmcnrick
bummer buggie
8:33 am
smores
very sad Buggie
8:33 am

8:34 am
Scrabbler
Ridiculous to endure that, Buggie
8:34 am
Buggie
the doctor hadn't even heard of my treatment (adapting insuline to the quantity of food instead of the other way around) and basically implied I was making it up...
8:35 am
Scrabbler
Terrible, Buggie

8:39 am

Intestinal obstruction, scrabs, we thought it was an ulcer but I guess not

Scrabbler
Same for me, Buggie

8:41 am
Haz1558
Yes, cut out, eradicate, lose a vowel from the season (wi6)
8:41 am
Scrabbler
Must be a partial bowel obstruction.
8:41 am
Buggie
ahhhhhhhhhhh, got it thanks
8:41 am
smores

8:41 am

The 10 has the same first 4 letters but then turns into a long noun
8:41 am
Haz1558
Hello, hello.
8:41 am
mkg
if i loose a vowel how does that give me. ohg i am confused.
8:42 am
Anniebrook
Hello Hazel..lovely seeing you
8:42 am
Haz1558
wi10 - three letters to succeed, three letters meaning three, four letters for the loch monster ending.
8:42 am
jmcnrick

8:42 am
uusue2
Dunno, scrabs, they were unclear in the er and we are still waiting for the surgeon

Soodle is used to the wee piggies that run races and fit nicely on a spit. : P
3:54 pm
Soodle
Well.... Yeah! Pigs here are .......... Manageable sizes!
3:55 pm
MollyL
Well, I think anytime you are raising animals that outweigh you times two, you are in for some trouble.
3:55 pm
cosdem
why would redbox email me saying i have balance due and when i go look it says your due balance is $0.00. Please pay now.

Um...because they are idiots?
3:57 pm
hurshy

3:59 pm
hego
I've had that lots of times, Molly
3:59 pm
hurshy
speaking of annoying company practices, i hate when you give a company feedback and they seem to feel that as long as they give you A reply, it doesn't really matter if they read what you said or think about it in any way or have the reply be relevant.

Minveryork
After putting my no 4/4 into the grid, I was able to find 200 words with ea4/4. Then I became de 5/12 and had to use list to get 65 more words. Knowing it would take eo 4/4 to finally be do 4/5 with grid, I gave up. Do 4/5 anyone want me to le 4/5 a hand with a story? I will be a wr 6/30 and wr 5/18 a story of clues anyway. I did my in6/18ship or student teaching at Wheeler School which is in the ea7/28 part of the country. After graduating, I looked for a job. I knew being as 6/18ive in interviews would be an as5/10 if I wanted to get a job.I also knew that I had to dr 4/5 up pretty so I dr 5/12 myself up for every interview. Even though I was always nervous, I gr 4/6ned a lot to hide my nervousne4/4. Took me eo4/4 to get a job. Every rejection letter that I got ir 4/5 me. I would think to myself,well that's their lo4/4 if they do not hire me. I felt like a total lo 5/10 because I couldn't get a job. I would take many sw 4/10s of beer to drown my sorrows. I almost lo 4/4 it and gave up on teaching, but I finally got a job on the ea 4/4 coast during the wi 6/30 time.It was a leave replacement job, but I knew it would be wi 4/8 of me to take the job so I did. It was a good thing I did. That job turned into a permanent job. I was happy to jo4/9 the great teaching team at Martin Luther King School. Although my Principal is an og4/6, I like the re 4/4 of the teachers.Most of the teachers are ol5/12 than I am and have many years of experience so I learn a lot from them. Even though I make way le 4/4 money as a teacher than other professions, I don't care. I need to surre4/5 computer to hubby before things get te 5/10. I am going to si 4/6 off. I hope my clues made se 5/10 to you and you could in 6/18 some more words into your list.I'm off to watch TV before I reti4/4 for the re4/4 of the ni4/4. Ni 6/18 all! I will see you tomorrow

8:25 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...how are you dawg?
8:25 pm
lbdawger
Jilly, what does "moderately ill" mean? it was on the form i had to fill out to get my flu shot.
8:27 pm
Jillyjill
As a side effect or as in should not get the shot?
8:28 pm
lbdawger
the form asked if i was currently moderately or seriously ill. compared to the plague? i've got a croupy cough but otherwise i'm fine. so i got the shot.
8:28 pm
Jillyjill
You can get flu like symptoms with a flu shot. As for it being a contraindication, it would mean a fever &/or being ill enough not to go to work.
8:29 pm
lbdawger
oh okay. i was just wondering if i might have lied on the form, since i marked it NO. nurse didn't ask one way or the other.
