Heard from my old NJ friends -- they escaped their powerless icy cold house to a hotel in PA, tried to get absentee ballots before leaving, no luck. Very upset that they can't vote!

1:05 am

westford

oh too bad..adding insult to injury

1:05 am

westford

thank goodness they're now safe and warm

1:05 am

Bugsaw

Jilli I thot people in NJ were going to be allowed to vote by email because of their special circumstances

1:11 am

Marais

NJ voter here. See http://bit.ly/Wtkq5w for how to vote in NJ even if you are not here.

1:12 am

Bugsaw

Thanks Marais. Babble people know everything!

1:13 am

jillibus

Thank you, marais -- I hope I can get that to my friends but they are in a hotel not using their own computer -- but I'll try right now. Brb.

1:13 am

Marais

Displaced NJ voters can vote but it has to be in-state but not at their usual polling station. Your friends can come into NJ to the nearest polling station and vote according to the provisional rules.

1:42 am

jillibus

Hi Shallow, but I got here in time to see the pmples.

1:42 am

Shallow One

shucks ....

1:42 am

Shallow One

so its pb for me

1:43 am

jillibus

lots of goodies there, shallow

1:46 am

Shallow One

there ougth to besome of the halibut left i caugth yestternight - it was gigantic missing the "ish" and having known 'boy' and 'toy' to go with it half the game

1:47 am

Shallow One

and to crown that i ranted abut the 'ism' not occuring once in the grid

1:47 am

jillibus

was there an "ish" last night? I don't remember.

1:48 am

Shallow One

boyish/toyish

1:49 am

jillibus

I tore my hair out looking for that addition to those words -- gave up before I was about to go bald

1:49 am

Shallow One

lol

1:49 am

Lizlin

where did the ism happen?

1:50 am

Shallow One

it was a very mean grid yesterday - cant remeber spending so much time in collins dictionary

1:50 am

jillibus

morewords is much more efficient, shallow

1:50 am

Shallow One

it didnt - thats what i was musing about, and asked for help for the boy/toy combination at the same time

1:51 am

Lizlin

ah! so I didn't miss that!

1:51 am

Lizlin

found the boy / toy ones very late on!

1:52 am

Shallow One

i dont like morewords for looking up words - too many dead ends

1:52 am

Lizlin

never used morewords. sometimes use a2zwordfinder - but try not to

1:53 am

Shallow One

but the ism, of course is just a letter different than the ish which i just couldnt spot - i wanted to bang my head

1:53 am

Lizlin

that would hurt, so don't bother

1:53 am

KatieMcG

Mari are you on you fire?

1:53 am

Shallow One

i use more words when im totally desperate

1:55 am

jillibus

shallow, a trick for using morewords is to go there, enter a ^ and add all the letters missing from the grid. Copy that to a word processor so you can reuse it. then when looking for a word like, say, bo7, enter bo-----and then the ^plus those letters you saved.

1:56 am

jillibus

really weeds out the unnecessaries

1:56 am

Shallow One

yep, makes wordlists a lot shorter, i do that too. but only as last resort

1:58 am

jillibus

I also try not to use it until I'm really stuck, but that's quite often quite soon!

2:00 am

jillibus

nbt/nbs

2:00 am

Shallow One

i dont use the list until ive got at least half of the words, i dont use more words until im through with the list. whats left is mostly babblets to me or blackouts

2:00 am

jillibus

good for you, shallow.

2:01 am

jillibus

I can't get half the words without the list.

2:02 am

jillibus

And now it's past bedtime so farewell all. I'll be glued to the TV tomorrow.

lynxxx

Good afternoon all

2:15 am

Glantarell

2:15 am

Glantarell

morning lyn

2:16 am

Shallow One

just checked the list - seems you have the en7 which i dont have. theres another en6/7 combo from that e

2:16 am

dizgrannie

2:17 am

Glantarell

2:17 am

lynxxx

TY Diz & hi

2:17 am

Glantarell

ty diz - i didn't have the ca4 & pl either!

2:18 am

Glantarell

i didn;t even look at lickety because it hasn't been there recently LOL

2:18 am

Glantarell

the en7 is to keep under a spell, or to especially delight somebody

2:18 am

dizgrannie

shallow, go down to bottom of page an click on licketys babble clues

2:19 am

Glantarell

shallow was telling me where the list ios today diz

2:21 am

Shallow One

oh had that remebred wrongly as being seplled with double l - probably because its mostly used passively or in past tense

2:21 am

Shallow One

thanks :)

2:21 am

Glantarell

i thought it had a double l too but often try variant spellings these days

2:21 am

Shallow One

my keys need a bit of oilign i think ...

2:25 am

lynxxx

boy I am old...just looking at this old guy on a local soap and realise he was the young attractive man from another soap...of course it was 40 years ago

2:28 am

Glantarell

happens to us all if we're lucky lyn :-)

2:29 am

lynxxx

well I have been very lucky and so I am still here...and that wasn't a complaint about being old, just sometimes you realise how long ago things were

2:30 am

lynxxx

How is the new house going Glant...is it 'home' now?

2:30 am

Glantarell

yes, i keep seeing heartthrobs who i thought were younger than me, looking older than me on tv. and then i remember that i look older than i think of myself LOL

2:31 am

Glantarell

i'm not sure it will ever be home lyn - i have been here 9 months now, but it still feels odd. perfectly practical but no emotional connection

2:32 am

lynxxx

do you have any pets in the house?

2:32 am

Glantarell

no, i travel too much with work for that to be practical

2:33 am

lynxxx

I thought that might be the case

2:36 am

lynxxx

I am glad you have a peaceful sanctuary - even if it doesn't feel like home yet

2:37 am

Glantarell

it is very convenient and peaceful. i have just had al;l the windows replaced so that it is warmer and they let more light into the rooms than the old ones which had faux leading decoration on them

2:37 am

Glantarell

and i have my upstairs craft room, but i don;t feel enthused to use it much, i expect that enthusiasm to come back one day :-)

2:38 am

lynxxx

it is hard to make time to do that - I struggle even though I no longer work

2:39 am

lynxxx

what do you do?

2:39 am

Glantarell

i have the time, it's the inclination i'm struggling with - total lack of inspiration! i do mixed media stuff, and textiles and some embroidery - all sorts fo things really

2:40 am

Glantarell

i have an embellisher machine which is very fun - it 'felts' things together

2:40 am

Glantarell

well, the monekys have worked well this morning, I'm down to 50, and need to go to work, bbl, have fun babbling!

2:41 am

Shallow One

bye glan, have a nice day

2:43 am

lynxxx

bye Glant - You should look at the work of Annemieke Mein. Inspirational

The original version of Roger Cormanâ€™s The Little Shop of Horrors was reportedly the fastest film ever made. It was written in a single night, rehearsed in three days, and shot in two days and one night. Why the rush? Corman wanted to finish the movie by New Yearâ€™s Day 1960, when a new industry practice would have forced him to pay the actors residual fees for any showing.

MOST states have "provisional" ballots that people can fill out and EVERY American is entitled to vote for president regardless of state registration status! States are REQUIRED to tell you this, and to give you a ballot to fill out.

8:55 am

stidmama is right, car

In Maryland, there are only a few grocery stores that have a beer and wine license. Fortunately, one of them is five minutes from me.

And my county won't have a Wegmans for a few more years.

10:02 am

right. where here in VA, half the gas stations sell wine, and most all of them sell beer. As well as the grocery, drug, and convenience stores.

10:02 am

The Commonwealth is much more relaxed about that than the uptight State Of Maryland. : ) Fireworks too.

a voting machine there automatically changes ur vote from Obama to Romney. they removed it but i fear the damage has been done

the guy took a video on his phone and sent it to the elction commission. they removed the machine. PA could be a toss-up so this is not good news

12:33 pm

I would think that all votes for Romney from that machine would be discounted

Hi zoozzoom!

1:41 pm

cybernan

Think I'm going to turn the TV off and read -- just get angry watching all the election shenannigans

1:42 pm

cybernan

bye all :) See you at the flip ...

1:42 pm

uusue2

Bye nan!

1:43 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Uusue :-)

1:43 pm

MollyL

Until I played this game, I had no idea how involved people in other countries are in our politics.

1:44 pm

uusue2

Well, what we do has worldwide ramifications.

1:54 pm

lynxxx

morning everyone

1:55 pm

uusue2

Hi lynxxx!

1:55 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Lynxxx

1:55 pm

lynxxx

hi Sue. Did Frank manage to see our horse race?

1:55 pm

lynxxx

hi Zooz!

1:56 pm

uusue2

No, we were kind of busy processing bad medical news. I told him about it, though.

1:57 pm

MollyL

By the way, the voting problem that Cos mentioned is a touch screen issue and not the result of voting fraud.

1:58 pm

uusue2

Still a concern if valid votes are not being recorded and there isn't any way to double check

1:58 pm

lynxxx

so - surgery I see - bet he is hoping that is ASAP. Can they tell him anything else now or will they see how he comes up after surgery?

1:59 pm

uusue2

They think the prognosis is good, but he will need chemotherapy, and they won't know the full extent until they go in there.

2:00 pm

MollyL

Well, it's up to the voter to make sure that their vote is tabulated correctly (ie the right choice is highlighted). And since this is not being reported as a wide spread problem, I think the voting results will be accurate.

2:01 pm

uusue2

Well, that's good, Molly. I hadn't read what the specific issue was but do have general concerns about electronic voting.

2:01 pm

lynxxx

That sounds great Sue...though chemo is wearing. No radiotherapy (my favorite! reckon it saved my life)

2:01 pm

uusue2

Probably not, usually it isn't useful for intestinal cancers

2:03 pm

lynxxx

mine was used on lymph glands in abdomin - twice though obviously in different areas

2:04 pm

uusue2

Ah,well, we don't know anything about the lymph glands yet, so that may still be a possibility

2:05 pm

uusue2

And you've recovered well? (I'm looking for success stories I can share with Frank)

2:08 pm

lynxxx

a 3 year battle at the time - but nothing for the last 11 years. I was down to a 5% chance of surviving. I was very very lucky and had amazing surgeon, radiologist and melanoma specialist/leading researcher all looking after me. Minor permanent side effect.

2:10 pm

lynxxx

Mind you, I did continue working throughout at fairly onerous job - except for during 3 lots of surgery and when I was intensive course of chemo (you get 'chemo' head).

2:14 pm

lynxxx

Tell him to just go with the flow, now that they have found out what it is they will look after the pain for him, from now on he will just be in discomfort. They make advances in knowledge everyday. He has everything to look forward to

2:19 pm

zoozzoom

It is amazing what the boy can endure...great to know you have now been clear for a long time now.

2:19 pm

zoozzoom

body sorry.

2:21 pm

lynxxx

My specialist doesn't even want to see me anymore (sob)..I feel as though I have lost a friend lol

2:22 pm

zoozzoom

LOL....Bless you.

2:25 pm

zoozzoom

Ok i have finished....time to go...take, Lynxxx and all stealth babblers.

2:25 pm

lynxxx

congrats Zooz, lovely to see you again, have a good evening

2:26 pm

zoozzoom

Will do..and you..*poof*

2:30 pm

uusue2

Thanks, lynxxx! Sorry had to do other things for a bit.

2:31 pm

lynxxx

thats OK ..

2:45 pm

hurshy

quiet here.

2:46 pm

lynxxx

probably everyones finished - or voting?

2:47 pm

lynxxx

or watching the voting results?

2:47 pm

hurshy

there won't be results awhile yet, they wait til the polls close in any given state before reporting projections and it's not yet 4 eastern time

2:48 pm

lynxxx

the words are so obvious after you list

2:48 pm

hurshy

even the P's?

2:48 pm

lynxxx

ps

2:49 pm

hurshy

anyone have the en7 that isn't the plural of the 6?

2:54 pm

periwinkle

rats I want my Barbados flag to show up

2:54 pm

uusue2

I don't, hurshy

2:54 pm

lynxxx

en7 to captivate or engross

2:54 pm

lynxxx

engross - is that the right spelling? looks wrong

2:55 pm

hurshy

like en + ch5? that isn't here

2:55 pm

doseffing

... you're probably trying to spell it as an en8 with a double consonant at the end ... well the grid will take only one consonant too

2:55 pm

hurshy

engross is fine i think

2:55 pm

lynxxx

th is used a lot in this grid

2:55 pm

periwinkle

Ok, I am now from Australia. would really like to visit there someday

2:55 pm

doseffing

... means ... to fascinate or almost hypnotize

2:56 pm

lynxxx

and we would like to have you come Peri

2:56 pm

uusue2

I'll go with you, peri!

2:56 pm

periwinkle

ok,that would be fun, sue. after Frank is all better

2:56 pm

periwinkle

ty lynn

2:56 pm

hurshy

i think i need another clue if possible, i am only thinking of en + ch5, which doesn't work cause there is only one N

2:57 pm

lynxxx

let me THink

2:57 pm

hurshy

oooh thanks

2:57 pm

hurshy

2:57 pm

2:59 pm

TraderKate

nice hint lynxxx, hi to all in babble -onia

2:59 pm

cosdem

turnout strong in NJ/NY/Sandy areas. (for Molly who wondered how sandy would affect elections) but then again maybe more repubs turn out. we'll see. just wanted to let u know molly if ur here :)

3:01 pm

hurshy

hi peri, no results yet. they had to push back his appt yet again because the doc was so backed up people were waiting for 6 hours in his waiting room!

3:01 pm

lynxxx

we5.22 - no def, new word for me, sounds germanic

3:02 pm

MollyL

Thanks Cos. From what I've read, voter turn out is pretty good everywhere.

3:02 pm

hurshy

i think his new appt is friday... but i have given up keeping track, starting to assume it will get moved again and again

3:02 pm

periwinkle

I hope not hurshy. is your husband patient. I am not

3:03 pm

hurshy

he is patient about this, externally. not totally sure how he feels if/when he thinks of it and doesn't mention that he's thinking of it.

3:04 pm

periwinkle

well, I do hope that the results are good, espec. after the long wait

3:05 pm

hurshy

thanks

Evening al, back for the last 35

3:06 pm

hi Glant

3:06 pm

Glantarell

Hi Lyn

3:06 pm

lynxxx

any clues wanted b4 I get going

3:07 pm

Glantarell

he7?

3:07 pm

Glantarell

either one :-)

3:08 pm

MollyL

we5/22 is some kind of tool used for processing grain. No clue what language it is.

3:08 pm

lynxxx

Galnt..I was looking up something when you signed off last time. I wanted to recommend the work of Annamieke Mein, dutch-born textile artist.

3:09 pm

lynxxx

he7 you listens to music with them

3:09 pm

Glantarell

I will look her up Lyn

3:09 pm

lynxxx

*listen

3:09 pm

Glantarell

ty - we call them he**phones

3:09 pm

lynxxx

so do we

3:09 pm

lynxxx

so do we

3:11 pm

lynxxx

the other 2 he7...in front of fireplaces and to make more cheerful or give support to

3:11 pm

Glantarell

fabulous nature themed textiles - thanks for sharing

3:12 pm

lynxxx

stunning to see the real thing, photos don't give justice to them. Her books are good value

3:13 pm

Glantarell

there is a British embroiderer who does marvellous nature themed embroideries - some of her creaturs are embroidered organza - Jane somebody, will share the link when I remember

3:16 pm

Glantarell

I've remembered - she is Jane Hall - http://www.clothofnature.com/gallery.p\nhp

3:16 pm

lynxxx

actually Book depository has her book "The Art of Annemieke Mien" pretty cheap (LOVE Book Depository)

3:16 pm

Glantarell

I love BookDepository too LOL

3:19 pm

lynxxx

lovely work too - interesting to see some of it suspended

3:21 pm

lynxxx

I can't understand how Book Depository can send books to the other side of the world with no freight cost - NOT that I am complaining. It is far cheaper for us to buy an Australian book from the UK (no GST/VAT involved)

3:22 pm

Glantarell

Some of Jane's panels are 4 feet long and lots of the piece is dangling or floating

3:24 pm

lynxxx

Must get going - bye everyone

Bye Peri :)

4:34 pm

Shallow One

ge, smores. try collins dictionary, its listed but not with a good description. found a pic of it in an online museum on the shetlands. it looks like an oversized tambourine without the cymbals, i looked it up this morning ...

4:35 pm

Shallow One

also the sh4 can be found in collins, which doesnt get a result via '?'

4:36 pm

MollyL

It's some kind of grain harvester.

4:37 pm

Shallow One

not really a plate-Ã¤ike drum to sort debris from the millstone from the grain or winnow the grain from spellts

4:38 pm

Shallow One

debris from the flour of course

4:39 pm

MollyL

That's what I said, a grain harvester.

4:42 pm

Shallow One

sorry i thought 'harvesting' is just the process of getting the grain from the field and not the ongoing process- as non-native speaker sometimes have a gap in my vocab

4:43 pm

Shallow One

heres the pic i found from the museum http://tinyurl.com/c723hem

4:44 pm

o-o

winnowing --- removing the grain from the chaff.

4:46 pm

Shallow One

and 'spelts' is obviously i term i made up from german 'spelze' - i meant chaff

4:52 pm

o-o

Thanks for the picture, Shallow One. The article also refers to the we in the sense Collins does.

4:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now it's the waiting game. Media babble or real Babble?

4:56 pm

o-o

I am here for Babble stuff. Will go to a news site for the other stuff.

5:11 pm

rubyfoo

is there any election news yet|? I don't think I'll sleep tonight

5:12 pm

MollyL

There shouldn't be any concrete news until much later tonight. The polls are still open.

5:20 pm

rubyfoo

do they announce Eastern results befor e West Coast polls close?

5:20 pm

rubyfoo

earths

5:21 pm

rubyfoo

sorry

5:23 pm

MollyL

They start speculating on results as the polls start to close. Ruby, answer a question for me. How does who we elect president affect you, a person who lives in another country?

5:24 pm

rubyfoo

I am still a US citizen, pay US taxes, have madicare, have relatives, and basically care a lot about women's rights

5:25 pm

o-o

Good for you, Ruby

5:25 pm

rubyfoo

I hang an American flag in front of my house on the 4th of July. and celebrate Thanksgiving. Do you think I qualify?

5:26 pm

MollyL

Ah okay. I need to ask someone who is none of those things then. It's not that I didn't think you qualified. I was just curious about the interest of people in other countries.

5:26 pm

o-o

You qualify ... for sure, Ruby.

5:26 pm

rubyfoo

my neighbors are all very pro-Obama

5:27 pm

sorry, very tired but trying to stay up

half and good night

Good night, Nel.

5:33 pm

welki

hi, folks

5:33 pm

o-o

Hello, welki.

5:46 pm

welki

wooo! i'm losing it - heard this funny noise, sounded kind of spooky. d'oh - i have eggs boiling and they were rolling around in the pot

5:47 pm

Lizlin

No - hallowe'en was last week - but remember it for next year!!!

5:51 pm

welki

hi, lizlin :)

5:51 pm

Lizlin

Good morning

5:52 pm

o-o

Glad you are ok, welki
Hello, Lizlin

5:52 pm

Lizlin

Hi BR

5:53 pm

welki

attack of the hard boiled eggs

5:54 pm

MollyL

There, there Welki. The eggs are our friends.
: D

5:55 pm

Lizlin

Hate it when looking for a word that I know ought to be there and is there but can't see it for looking!

5:56 pm

welki

who hasn't drawn faces on hard boiled eggs so you can tell them from the un-boiled ones? (putting a penciled x on them is so pedestrian)

5:57 pm

Lizlin

me! I just spin them!!! Boring I know but I never was artistic!

6:02 pm

o-o

Any fires in your are, Lizlin. Lyn said the fires were out in her area.

6:02 pm

MollyL

<---Has drawn faces : )

6:03 pm

Lizlin

No - not here. The fire risk is high at the moment though. It's unusual where I am that it hasn't rained much here so far this spring. We

6:03 pm

Lizlin

moving into the wet season now but a hot dry summer is predicted!

6:03 pm

Lizlin

Might try drawing faces next time. So much more creative!

6:04 pm

welki

it was fun when the children were little

6:04 pm

dan2bit

evening all!

6:04 pm

RobbieV

Hello, I'm a newby. Lizlin showed me how to play and now I'm getting hooked!

6:04 pm

Lizlin

Hi Robbie - knew you'd like it!!!!!

6:05 pm

welki

(and it's really easy to draw goatees on eggs - the curves are just right *lol*)

6:05 pm

welki

hi robbie - welcome to babble

6:06 pm

RobbieV

Guess I'll never do housework again!

6:06 pm

Lizlin

Remind me not to come round then!!!!

6:06 pm

welki

housework? what does that mean?

6:06 pm

o-o

shingling

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Good point! Too busy playing babble or walking on the beach!

6:07 pm

MollyL

Hi 2Bit : )

6:07 pm

welki

never had the shingles - hope i never do :)

6:07 pm

welki

later, people - egg cooling time

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Robbie - forgot to tell you about fireworks - when people complete the grid you get fireworks (fw) displayed! You see people posting when they get fireworks

6:09 pm

Lizlin

IF you need help, just ask. People are very friendly here.

6:09 pm

RobbieV

Can't see that happening on my screen! Have only 48 words out of 177!

6:10 pm

Lizlin

Keep looking - they suddenly jump out at you. use lickety's list to help you out until you're used to it.

6:10 pm

Lizlin

I've got 59 more to find!

6:13 pm

wvteach

Robbie - try looking for rhyming words, add plural endings

6:15 pm

Lizlin

Hi teach - good advice there - but I think Robbie's gone! I'm sure she'll be back though.

6:15 pm

wvteach

At this point don't worry about the number of words, just enjoy the game and the chat

6:16 pm

wvteach

hello liz - just starting back up for the evening after finishing dinner

6:16 pm

Lizlin

How's the atmosphere re the election?

6:17 pm

nrkii

nobody's talking about it here, thank goodness! :)

6:17 pm

Lizlin

That's funny - we've just finished breakfast and I'm playing til we go out for a walk

6:17 pm

nrkii

I suspect most of us are suffering from indigestion

6:17 pm

Lizlin

I think I'm with you nrkii! It gets overwhelming!

6:17 pm

wvteach

we're not in to politics that much so trying to find some background music for the evening since TV is all about election results - even though most polls haven't even closed they are predicting winners

6:18 pm

Lizlin

My other half's so interested - in whichever country! I'm not so interested.

6:18 pm

wvteach

don't think they should be allowed to predict results until all polls are closed so it doesn't influence voters

6:19 pm

Lizlin

He wants to know when they'll know the results

6:19 pm

MollyL

Good point Teach.

6:19 pm

nrkii

results are starting to come in from the first states now

6:19 pm

wvteach

they're saying that it will be close and won't know until late tonight

6:20 pm

Lizlin

So in how many hours is that. It's 10.20 am here

6:20 pm

nrkii

no earlier than 2PM, I'd guess

6:20 pm

nrkii

more likely later

6:21 pm

wvteach

It's 7:20 here and they are saying until 11 - 12 - so 4 or 5 more hours and even then many results will be unofficiaql

6:21 pm

Lizlin

ty

6:21 pm

Lizlin

all the time zones become so confusing

6:22 pm

wvteach

yes, babble chat has helped me increase my awareness of it all

6:24 pm

Lizlin

I have family in London Canada and America - sometimes I have to add hours and sometimes subtract! I'm very sorted with London but less so with the US and Canada - where is babble time based?

6:24 pm

MollyL

Central US I think.

6:24 pm

Lizlin

Not helpful for where my family is based!

6:26 pm

Lizlin

But I agree with teach that babble chat does help

6:27 pm

wvteach

time in the chat log is the "US Central time Zone" which is just west of where i am so I always add one hour to what is listed in chat

6:28 pm

Lizlin

For me it's subtract 4 hours and go to yesterday or the other end of the day. I can understand people's confusion about lickety's dates

6:29 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

6:29 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!

6:29 pm

Lizlin

Hi Min - good to see you

6:29 pm

MollyL

Hi Min : )

6:30 pm

Lizlin

Love the icon Min - made me laugh out loud!

6:31 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Lizlin.I'm just Sitting here wondering how many babblers wvte 5/14 put into the Penalty Box today.

6:31 pm

Lizlin

Lots probably - inlcuding me but it's hard because it's how you refer to someone

6:32 pm

Lizlin

And herself continually - every time the icon appears

6:32 pm

rururocks

anyone have the second en 7?

6:32 pm

Minveryork

I am glad you said something about my icon.It reminded me to take out my old story of clues. I will be right back.

6:32 pm

Lizlin

Plural of the one above it! Or are there others?

6:33 pm

Lizlin

Oh yes - to capture someone in your spell - though I'd've spelt it with a double final consonant

6:33 pm

MollyL

Ru, it's a word that means to spell bind, usually spelled with a double consonant at the end.

6:33 pm

Lizlin

lol Molly - thinking same way

6:34 pm

MollyL

Apparently we now can al drop the bal and spell however we want.

6:34 pm

Lizlin

you mean spel

6:35 pm

6:55 pm

periwinkle

ok, Min, how are you?

6:55 pm

Minveryork

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

6:56 pm

uusue2

I was born in New Brunswick, lived in Plainfield until I was 10, then in Bernardsville

6:56 pm

nrkii

I've only lived in NJ for last 9 years, but I love it. I'm very sad about what people are enduring here.

6:56 pm

nrkii

I lived in Morristown before here (Lambertville)

6:57 pm

uusue2

the area where my dad lives is very nice

6:58 pm

nrkii

Ugh, 14 to go here, and as always, most of them are 6's

6:58 pm

nrkii

I hate 6 letter words

6:58 pm

wvteach

Forgot about all of our overlaps Sue - lived in Plainfield for 2 years, before moving to Fords

6:58 pm

uusue2

that's right, I had forgotten too!

7:00 pm

wvteach

Have my masters from what was Newark State College (now called Keane College)

7:00 pm

Minveryork

I am well periwinkle. Trying to finish,but have lots left

7:04 pm

uusue2

ok, I finally have enough a's that I am not embarrassed. Time to go home. We are off to an election party (Frank is running for county board) - see you all tomorrow!

7:05 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.

7:05 pm

wvteach

hope Frank is successful

7:05 pm

MollyL

Oh boy, I just saw some early results. I hope Cos has a drink, or three.

7:11 pm

nrkii

Molly, too early for anyone to rejoice or despair. But I may need a drink just to calm down.

7:12 pm

MollyL

Oh I agree. And I have no vested interest in the outcome either way. I just know how nervy Cos gets about such things. : )

7:17 pm

periwinkle

was just watching Extreme Cheapskates, very interesting. a woman served friends food found in a dumpster. they ate very little.

7:18 pm

periwinkle

I also watched some of Extreme Couponing. I see no reason to have a year supply of cake mix for every member of your family or an 11 year supply of laundery detergent. Give some to a homeless shelter or to a food pantry.

7:18 pm

MollyL

I don't get the coupon hoarders. I think they have some kind of disorder.

7:19 pm

periwinkle

they are usually well organized but my goodness why not share the wealth

7:19 pm

periwinkle

last te5/14 pls. my last word

7:20 pm

periwinkle

I'd be willing to check out some dumpster but they are all behind fences and gates around here

7:20 pm

wvteach

te 5 - rhymes with what you sit on at the piano

7:20 pm

nrkii

rhymes with Johnny Be***

7:20 pm

MollyL

Ends like the Sunshine State, Peri.

7:20 pm

periwinkle

restaurants and markets do throw out a lot of decent food

7:21 pm

MollyL

Oy, I clued the th5. Never mind.

7:21 pm

periwinkle

the only Johnny's I know are Depp and Cash

7:21 pm

MollyL

Restaurants and markets should be donating that food.

7:22 pm

MollyL

Peri, see Teach's clue.

7:22 pm

periwinkle

they should and some do. but the date says expired they are not allowed to. we are not allowed to give out expired food at the food pantry either

7:22 pm

7:23 pm

MollyL

Johnny Be5 was a famous baseball catcher.

7:23 pm

broll

Anyone know how to contact Dr. God? The connection here and on IronSudoku both say "default mail client is not properly installed".

7:23 pm

periwinkle

that clue went right over my head.

7:24 pm

periwinkle

bye nrkii, go for the bourbon

7:24 pm

MollyL

Sorry "is" a famous baseball catcher. He's still with us.

7:42 pm

Minveryork

Hello ChinaGirl! How are you doing? Welcome to chog.

7:42 pm

Minveryork

P's Pummeled! 2 left

7:43 pm

Yes the letters do connect following the rules of the game. The PB is the penalty box for mentioning a grid word in the chat.

Every time you or Car says "Hello friends" it reminds me of the Vitameatavegamin commercial. : D

8:49 pm

8:49 pm

Trifioso

hold on....I will put photo on my profile

8:49 pm

there you go....Im the one on the left

8:51 pm

Trifioso

though we look a little smudged

8:51 pm

MollyL

Clever costume.

8:53 pm

Trifioso

thanks! I used an old pattern I found from the actual 50s, and although I followed the directions exactly, it still came out HUGE. it just fit strangely. I think it's the underwear being different now

8:53 pm

Aloyisius

hi Trif.. in the same boat as you, can't tear myself away from the TV, but want to Babble too

8:54 pm

MollyL

Did you wear the "smart hat" too?

8:54 pm

Trifioso

no, just the dress and apron and the glasses

8:54 pm

Trifioso

that is my friend on the right - she has lost over 70 pounds in the last year - I am SO proud of her!

8:55 pm

Trifioso

its an uncomfortable boat, aloy

8:55 pm

MollyL

Are we on the same page here? I'm talking about Lucy in the Vitameatavegamin commercial.

8:55 pm

Trifioso

btws, aloy....I subbed in a 10th grade science class yesterday, and ATE IT in front of the whole class when I didn't see a plug on the floor, and went FLYING. Trust me, it was spectacular!

8:56 pm

Trifioso

I know, molly.

8:57 pm

MollyL

Okay because she didn't wear an apron or glasses in that. I thought we were thinking of different things.

8:57 pm

Trifioso

I wasn't really aiming for that particular episode...just Lucy in her lovely usual iconic self

8:58 pm

Trifioso

phantom: literal

8:58 pm

MollyL

Ah, I get it now.

8:59 pm

Aloyisius

ooh, Trif.. are you OK?

9:01 pm

Trifioso

actually, not really. I mashed my knee, and bent my wrist in some very new ways, but I was NOT going to admit that in front of a class full of sophomores!

9:01 pm

Aloyisius

ouch, so sorry! was it a biology class?

He is needed here!

uusue2

Yes, he is having a fine time tonight.

9:49 pm

Bugsaw

I am sorry to read about the other news tho. This success couldn't have come at a better time for him

9:50 pm

uusue2

Indeed, bugs. Will keep you all posted on the not so good news as it develops.

9:50 pm

10:00 pm

snags

you are wise Bug............

10:03 pm

Bugsaw

thanks snags. worked in Hospice for years and was constantly suprised by how people altered their own outcomes

10:06 pm

Bugsaw

Canadian news is projecting that Obama will "most likely" win tonight.

10:06 pm

Aloyisius

am so upset, watching the news, by how so many had such a hard time trying to vote... not right!

10:08 pm

snags

agree with you Bug. In June, I had a ct scan on my lungs, it can back abnormal. I wasn't worried though, just my nature, the second one came back fine. Had a mamogram in October, came back questionable.

10:08 pm

Bugsaw

I have to agree Aloy. I don't understand the American system that allows the states more rights on how they will hold a national election. I think the nation should have the same rules. but, I am Canadian so my opinion is not worth much

10:08 pm

snags

Second mamogram followed by a mri showed things ok............ again didn't worry!!!!!!!!!

10:09 pm

Bugsaw

so glad things worked out so well for you snags. two scares is tuff

10:10 pm

snags

as I said, I didn't worry, my hubby did enough for both of us. I told him I don't worry until there is a real reason, that is just me!!!

10:10 pm

snags

and thank you Bug.

10:11 pm

love and hugs to you and to Frank

10:27 pm

Aloyisius

omg... I fervently hope for an end to the divisive (is that a word?) state of our congress, so self-destructive and non-productive.. oh wow, I guess I can concentrate on the grid now. howdy stid

10:31 pm

cosdem

actually status quo. dems keep senate, reps get house, obama is prez

10:34 pm

torgone

Maybe since they've failed in their mission to oust Obama, they'll go back to not sacrificing the American people to their political ambitions ... Nah, probably not ..

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

10:40 pm

KnightTime

Extremely sad day for America. A man with a mandate destroys the economy in the first four years. A man with a mandate cannot work with Congress. Now he is a lame duck with no mandate. 20-22 trillion in national debt is a realistic possibility.

10:49 pm

MollyL

Apparently, the majority of Americans are perfectly content with a President who has done nothing in 4 years. Not sure what that says about us as a country.

10:54 pm

cybernan

Hi all -- just looking in to see the reactions! Perhaps now the good ol' boys on the Repub. side of Congress will wake up and smell the roses.

10:54 pm

cosdem

amazing news: http://alturl.com/srdd4

10:56 pm

MollyL

It's about time.

10:56 pm

KnightTime

they will wake up and smell the same pile of crap they've been smelling for the next four years. I don't know how it will be possible, but this congress will do LESS than what has been done in the last two years, and by my estimation that is nothing.

10:56 pm

jillibus

haha, cos!

10:57 pm

cosdem

washington state also voted to legalize it tonight

10:57 pm

KnightTime

glad to see Obama got all the electoral votes in... Canada

10:58 pm

cybernan

For your sake I hope you are wrong Knight, but I'm afraid that Romney's offer for a co-operative position in Congress was good only in the event that he won.

10:58 pm

KnightTime

Just what the country needs - more potheads. We certainly are making progress.

10:59 pm

jillibus

Molly, you haven't ben paying as much attention as we Canadians have. Obama has achieved a lot of good things. I am now not going to say anything more, other than the fact that most of the world was in favour of Obama.

10:59 pm

cybernan

Want to go back to prohibition, Knight? -- that wasn't very successful, was it?

10:59 pm

cosdem

regulate pot like alcohol will bring in a lot more money for the state

10:59 pm

cosdem

I voted yes.

11:00 pm

KnightTime

Absolutely Cybernan, just don't take my $100 bottle of chardonay

11:00 pm

cybernan

well said, jill

11:00 pm

MollyL

Jilli, I live here in America and I have been paying a lot of attention to what Obama "hasn't" done. And with all due respect, the "rest of the world" doesn't live here and have to deal with the consequences.

11:01 pm

jillibus

Thanks, nan, and now I shall leave until after the flip, at least.

11:01 pm

cybernan

There you are incorrect, Molly -- whatever the US does certainly affects us.

11:01 pm

jesdraggon

bye, jilli

11:02 pm

KnightTime

perhaps obama can annex Canada?

11:02 pm

MollyL

Wow, seriously? Canadians pay more attention to what our President does or doesn't do than Americans?

11:02 pm

cybernan

no thanks -- I like the parliamentary system, our education programs and our healthcare

11:03 pm

jillibus

And btw, Mollu, I went to school in NYC and loved there for many years as did many of my family -- I still have many US relatives and close friends I keep in touch with.

11:04 pm

jillibus

lol. "loved" there is indeed accurate, although I meant to write "lived" there.

11:04 pm

I made a business trip to Canada several times

11:04 pm

KnightTime

Toronto is beautiful

Kind of the way my 7 pound cat pays more attention to where the 70 pound dog's feet go than the dog does, Molly. If that makes any sense.

11:05 pm

MollyL

I married a Canadian. However, I wouldn't insult Canadians by speculating on their government or their choice of elected officials.

11:05 pm

cybernan

you got it, sue!

11:06 pm

MollyL

Sorry Sue, that doesn't make sense at all. But I will leave you Obama lovers to revel in your victory.

11:06 pm

cybernan

most Americans don't even know what the capital of the country is, never mind anything about our government

11:06 pm

KnightTime

So the demise of the American economy and a 16 trillion dollar debt is good for Canada?

11:06 pm

KnightTime

Glad we could help

11:07 pm

cybernan

I think you are taking a very narrow minded view of things knight

11:07 pm

uusue2

Pure fantasy IMHO.

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

not to impinge on the political debates, but could someone share the stats for the i in the bottom row? thanks.

11:08 pm

KnightTime

Yes, 16 trillion in debt is nothing to worry about. 2% growth is outstanding. Please pass a joint to me, I need another hit

11:08 pm

uusue2

Ir5/10, jes

11:08 pm

cybernan

iz 4/9

11:08 pm

ir5/10 and iz4/9

11:09 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, that's NBT :)

11:09 pm

cybernan

grats, jes :)

11:09 pm

cybernan

Knight, I think you are forgetting that it was Republican led governments that put your country so far into debt to begin with

11:10 pm

cybernan

on my way -- back at the flip :)

11:10 pm

uusue2

Bye nan!

11:10 pm

KnightTime

Yeah, i forgot. THat darn George Bush - what a loser. It's good he's there to blame

11:11 pm

jesdraggon

g'night nan :)

11:12 pm

KnightTime

debt when obama took office = 5 trillion, debt now - 16 trillion. Bush is more powerful than I thought.

11:12 pm

jesdraggon

half way

11:13 pm

jesdraggon

and that's all for me tonight. sleep well when ya'll get there.

11:13 pm

uusue2

Night jes!

11:14 pm

Aloyisius

sweet dreams, jes

11:16 pm

uusue2

In physics terms, knight, you are looking at two positions and assuming that the initial speed and acceleration were zero. Then the second position is due entirely to things that happened after the first. But the velocity and acceleration weren't zero, and you can't ignore that.

11:17 pm

cosdem

Maryland just voted to legalize marriage equality.

11:17 pm

KnightTime

Great, Sue. I would give all my money to back a physicists for president. Will you run?

11:17 pm

uusue2

It looked to me like all four marriage equality votes were on the way to passing, cos

11:18 pm

cosdem

maine will win too. very close in WA and MN

11:18 pm

KnightTime

plus, could you provide me a study that shows that economics works according to the laws of physics?

11:18 pm

uusue2

Well, I think the country would be better served if it were run by scientists than by lawyers. But I am not running.

11:19 pm

rbud

I don't much care about debt, the government did what it had to in order to support "peace keeping" missions already begun by Bush... that stuff's expensive. Could have just pulled out all the troops instead, then tried to find them jobs here, probably without much luck, and gotten negative flack over that, too. oops, is that too radical a viewpoint?

11:19 pm

uusue2

However, my former colleague, Bill Foster, did win.

11:19 pm

KnightTime

Agreed Sue.

11:20 pm

KnightTime

I don';t care about debt either, I don't have any.

11:20 pm

cosdem

Maine passes mariage equality, washington legalizes marijuana like colorado did

11:20 pm

jmcnrick

yayayayyayayayayyayayayyayayayyayayaya\ny

11:21 pm

uusue2

Personally I am not even convinced that economics works according to the laws of economics, at least as they are currently described

11:21 pm

KnightTime

agreed sue

11:21 pm

jmcnrick

i just got back from richmond va and 17 hours at the polls!

11:21 pm

uusue2

And what jmc said :-)

11:21 pm

jmcnrick

i was trying to find a giant emoticon with a shit eating grin

11:22 pm

KnightTime

just use obama's picture - same thing

11:22 pm

rbud

would much rather have a mellow black dude in charge than an anal flip-flopping right wing extremist from the Mormon church - but that's just me. but that's because at the moment he's the lesser of the two evils, imho, sigh...

11:22 pm

sallyds

Do you even read anything not approved by Rupert Murcock, Knight?

11:23 pm

uusue2

Ok, time to go home, see you all later!

11:23 pm

cosdem

lol sallyds

11:23 pm

sallyds

het

11:23 pm

KnightTime

no sally, i am a toothless redneck hillbilly what caint read

11:24 pm

Aloyisius

bye, uusue.. tc

11:24 pm

sallyds

I didn't suggest you couldn't read I asked if you read anything other than biased material?

11:25 pm

rbud

hey, so am I, knight! except for the not reading part, lol

11:25 pm

KnightTime

I didn't know that Rupert Murdock was a writer?

11:25 pm

jmcnrick

bye uu hugs and kisses

11:26 pm

KnightTime

All writing is biased.

11:26 pm

jmcnrick

i agree that all writing has a bias but that is not quite the same thing. . .

11:28 pm

stidmama

I am saddened by the partisan baiting and negative comments on babble tonight. There was a time when we maintained a respect for other's opinions here, and did not demean those with different ideas. I am very disappointed in this former welcoming and safe place for people who love words and word games. Debating topics does not require putting other people down. *stern mama look*

11:29 pm

jmcnrick

maybe i am only seeing what i want to see but i am only seeing good natured ribbing. . .

11:30 pm

KnightTime

cue the violins

11:30 pm

rbud

I don't see anything partisan, either. but I haven't read back all that far.

11:30 pm

KnightTime

your organization sounds intriguing jmcnrick

11:31 pm

jmcnrick

ty knight. . . now that the election is over maybe i will have the time i need to get it really going. . .webpage is up but more work needs to be done

11:31 pm

smores

hi all

11:31 pm

KnightTime

It is going to take that type of thinking to get this country back on track

11:32 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the P for nbt

11:32 pm

smores

ps5/12 x2

11:33 pm

jmcnrick

i have very definate political beliefs but i think the place where we have to put our efforts is to the changes that are nonpartisan such as redisticting and campaign fiance reform so we can work together without agreeing

11:33 pm

smores

Wish someone would tell Romney the election is over

11:33 pm

jmcnrick

ty smores

11:33 pm

MollyL

Oh for God's sake, this is not a "former welcoming and safe place". It's still both of those. People have a right to express their opinion, even if it doesn't jive with the "majority rule" here.

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

give it time smores. . . . give it time

11:34 pm

smores

yw jmc

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

11:35 pm

jmcnrick

<===wonders if it were a mistake to drink coffee on drive home from Richmond

11:35 pm

rbud

whew, over half, happy with that. see y'all after the flip. (oh, and I personally think a bit of tussling makes this place much more interesting.)

11:35 pm

smores

lol jmc

11:35 pm

KnightTime

Good night all - God bless Obama and this wonderful country. I survived the last four years, I will survive the next.

11:35 pm

jmcnrick

11:35 pm

MollyL

No mistake. You got home safe, albeit hyper.

11:38 pm

MollyL

I'm glad for the people who are happy about the election results. I understand why other people are dismayed by that. We are all grown ups here. And it's not likely that we are going to sit around singing Kumbayah on election night. : P

11:39 pm
