1:05 am

hurshy

1:05 am

hurshy

although i'm not canadian

1:05 am

flosey

1:06 am

cybernan

1:06 am

stidmama

sorry to hear that hurshy

1:06 am

stidmama

YAY nan

1:06 am

1:06 am

jillibus

yay nan!

1:06 am

flosey

wet nan

1:06 am

flosey

oops,, WTG

1:07 am

hurshy

my cat marty has kidney failure. he will be dying in the next few months. not sure if it might even be next few days. feelings very stressed.

1:07 am

jillibus

my goodness, flosey!

1:07 am

cybernan

ty everyone -- any clues wanted?

1:07 am

flosey

guess I needed it jilli

1:07 am

stidmama

oh hurshy, I am so sad to learn that. can he be made comfortable?

1:07 am

flosey

yes please nan, do6

1:07 am

jillibus

aw, sorry, hursh. That's so sad.

1:08 am

cybernan

cotton's offspring?

1:08 am

hurshy

he's pretty comfortable, except possibly nausea which i'm not totally able to tell if is under control or not. it's not a painful disease or way to die as i understand it.

1:08 am

flosey

thanks nan, looking

1:08 am

stidmama

not painful would be a good thing

1:08 am

stidmama

but it's hard to let go

1:09 am

jillibus

how old is he, hursh?

1:09 am

cybernan

hurshy - we had a cat that went that way --- just make sure he has lots of water as he will be very thirsty

1:10 am

hurshy

he's only 12

1:11 am

jillibus

just middle-aged for a cat, I guess

1:11 am

hurshy

yeah nan there's plenty water but he's often not drinking, the subq fluids may be making him comfortable in that regard or he may just be too nauseous to drink (although sometimes he eats fine but still doesn't drink so i think it's the subq)

1:11 am

hurshy

yes exactly, middle-aged

1:12 am

hurshy

i have always had a fountain for them so it's not standing water

1:12 am

hurshy

but he isn't using it now is only willing to drink from tub

1:12 am

cybernan

on my way unless more clues are wanted?

1:12 am

hurshy

so i have that on a constant trickle

1:12 am

jillibus

gnight nan

1:25 am

flosey

thanks chris, I did find it

1:26 am

flosey

not familiar with James Do

1:28 am

hurshy

you're probably happier that way - he's not as awful as some, well intentioned, but sometimes pretty annoying nevertheless

1:57 am

flosey

firfeworks

1:57 am

flosey

1:57 am

flosey

and goodnight to any still here

1:58 am

2:46 am

scouser

morning all. grrr if we can have do5/14 with c in it why cant we have similar word with b in it meaning two as in pasa do6? Spanish must be inferior to Italian?

2:47 am

Dachef

and on that subject - the bo6/7 is enough to make sane men gibber. The most ridiculous word Ive ever seen. And in 7 yrs of playing this game, thats saying something.

2:48 am

scouser

its a bonnet ? as in that film Easter Bonnet?

2:49 am

Dachef

no - as in one who minds the sheep.

2:49 am

scouser

same word. Spider Ho!

2:50 am

Dachef

ah - I see what you did there. The general enormity and illogical world of language has made my brain ache this morning.

2:51 am

scouser

however the etymology of do6/27 throws up a really good word: hellgrammite ! not seen that one in Babble yet.

2:51 am

scouser

That's why you are playing Babble though - words are wonderful

2:53 am

Dachef

havent got to the d's yet. But hellgrammite sounds like it would come from the most spectacular grid ever....

2:53 am

Dachef

actually, hellgrammite sounds like a villain from a Superman comic.....

2:54 am

scouser

and its only a lowly fly larva

3:07 am

scouser

grid encompasses Old English as well y6 /30.

3:09 am

Dachef

after the bo6 debacle I just tried 'yeeold' for that, half expecting it to work. Fortunately for my sanity, it didnt.

3:10 am

scouser

that because you left the obligatory e off the end!

3:12 am

Dachef

I can live with the yc word. it has logic to it, and an origin that is based on forms of early language. The bo6 however, comes from a sodding fairy tale and is therefore utterly made up and fictional.

3:13 am

Haz1558

It's not, Dachef. Look up the dictionary and you'll see it's a variation of 'peekaboo'.

3:13 am

Haz1558

Who knows, maybe the nursery rhyme character was named after the game?

3:13 am

scouser

and despite the proffered dictionary def I am sure it refers to a version of the poke-bonnet?

3:14 am

Dachef

Really? Oh well, thats my chips peed on. rant over. Have to find something else to be annoyed about.

3:14 am

scouser

or was it bopeep nighties?

3:15 am

Haz1558

You're going to turn into Victor Meldrew, I can see it coming.

3:15 am

Dachef

already there.

3:15 am

scouser

Hiya Haz - probably already am, Distracted-of-Scouseland

3:16 am

good morning/afternoon friends

5:03 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite..how are you today?

5:04 am

sprite

hiya zooz :)
I am pretty good. Up relatively early and the sun is out. How about you?

5:04 am

xeiluj

Hi Sprite, how was the hobbit?

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Not too bad thanks..the sun is trying to get past the clouds.but struggling..lol

5:06 am

sprite

hi xeiluj :) It was absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to be able to watch the IMAX 3D in high frame rate. I loved what they did with the story, but I loved the beauty of it all even more.

5:06 am

sprite

*prods the sun at zooz's and sends the clouds away*

5:07 am

xeiluj

We booked to go but couldn't make it due to me having bad chest. Didn't want to cough all the way through it!!

5:07 am

xeiluj

Will definitely re-book it now though

5:07 am

sprite

it is very much worth it

5:08 am

zoozzoom

I too have seen the hobbit 3D..but found my legs did not like the three hours..i had to keep standing up to stretch my legs a bit.

5:08 am

sprite

it is a long sit if you cannot sit well, indeed

5:09 am

zoozzoom

We do not have IMAX here on the island so normal cine for me..lol

5:12 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear you could not make it, Xeilju, lots of colds going around this year.

5:12 am

sprite

it is beautiful in any setting, I think. The extra from 3D is lovely, but not necessary to enjoy the movie.

5:12 am

sprite

I hope you feel better now, xeiluj?

5:13 am

xeiluj

Thank you,I always get lots of coughs at this time of year, due to chronic bronchitis. Lots better now, just in time to go back to work this week!!

5:14 am

sprite

ah, that is a family disease for us. Lots of that going round in my family. It is a bitch (pardon my french)

5:15 am

zoozzoom

lol, pardon excepted :-)

5:15 am

sprite

;)

5:16 am

zoozzoom

5:16 am

sprite

lol

5:17 am

xeiluj

Thaks, that finished the y's for me

5:19 am

zoozzoom

Well this grid is going very smoothly..going to save 32 for later as i ned to get some chores done..take care Sprite and Xeiluj :-)

5:19 am

xeiluj

Me too, catch you later. Down to 23

5:22 am

lynxxx

Hello Sprite - HNY

5:36 am

sprite

hi lyn, a very happy New Year to you too, and to yours. May you find light and love and peace.

5:37 am

Lizlin

Hi all - here for a short time before skyping with friends in UK :)

5:37 am

sprite

hi Liz :)

5:37 am

lynxxx

good evening Liz

5:38 am

sprite

ouch... may you find peace is NOT a good expression in this sense, is it? May your days be filled with peace, lyn :)

5:39 am

lynxxx

i don't know, sometimes you have to work at finding peace - not much comes without a cost

5:40 am

sprite

very true. Part of the reason things are going better with me is that I meditate a lot now. It helps me maintain a basic level of inner peace.

5:41 am

lynxxx

is that new for you - or you are just doing it more?

5:42 am

sprite

just doing it more. It should be a daily practice and I never got quite around to that, but now I do.

5:43 am

lynxxx

It is sometimes hard to make time for yourself so I am happy that you are doing it

5:44 am

sprite

I get up earlier for it. No way I can meditate when the kids are up and about... they always need their mum in some mundane way, lol.

5:47 am

sprite

do you meditate, lyn?

5:48 am

lynxxx

No - never tried to do it.

5:49 am

sprite

you probably don't need to, grin. You have inner peace all by yourself. At least, that is how you come across for me

5:54 am

lynxxx

If left to myself I am pretty calm. I have a history of taking on too much which stresses me out - at least I realise it now. Tried yoga once for that - very good

5:56 am

sprite

yoga is also a form of meditation... meditation in motion. Yes, it is not easy to learn not to take on too much, is it. Glad you can handle that so well now. I'm still learning :)

5:58 am

lynxxx

ahhh - Te6.18 Mandela

5:58 am

sprite

LOL!

5:58 am

Lizlin

ty Lyn :)

5:59 am

lynxxx

I'll never look at a lobster tail again without thinking of Mr Mandela

5:59 am

sprite

hahahaha

6:06 am

sprite

I cannot seem to finish that darn B. Is there a 7 among them?

6:08 am

lynxxx

yes - a bo6 & its 7 - kind of unexpected, even for Enable

6:08 am

sprite

that is my missing B combo then. Could you please clue it for me?

6:09 am

lynxxx

oh good clue....'lost' the animals in the grid

6:09 am

lynxxx

hope you know English nursery rhymes - I am sure you do

6:10 am

sprite

I know some... *kicking mind in gear*

6:12 am

lynxxx

have you found the animals ?

6:12 am

sprite

not yet, still working on the rhyme, grin

6:13 am

sprite

oh... think i got it!

6:14 am

sprite

jeezzz... ok, GOT to look this one up.

6:14 am

sprite

and thank you, lyn, never would have found this by myself

6:15 am

sprite

ah. The game of peekaboo. Very odd.

6:16 am

lynxxx

neither would I but came in just as some-one was 'bleating' about it

6:17 am

sprite

ah. ouch.

6:18 am

sprite

btw, lovely clue, lyn!

6:18 am

smores

hello again all :)

6:18 am

sprite

hi smores, wb

6:19 am

lynxxx

hi Smores

6:19 am

smores

lol...be6/7

6:19 am

smores

??? meant bo

6:19 am

sprite

ah, was wondering. But the B is grey now so it couldn't be :)

6:19 am

smores

funny sh5 is in here too

6:21 am

lynxxx

sh5 that you count to make you sl5

6:21 am

sprite

yes, I was thinking that.

6:22 am

sprite

it is a nursery rhyme grid!

6:22 am

smores

lol...

6:24 am

sprite

you both know what a hellgrammite is?

6:24 am

smores

no sprite, and a little afraid to ask....lol

6:25 am

sprite

lol! I just looked up the def of do6/27 and this was one of the defs! Really helps, right?

6:25 am

lynxxx

I do(6.27)

6:25 am

sprite

a hellgrammite is the larva of the do6 fly.

6:25 am

sprite

yay lyn! Amazing, the stuff babblers know.

6:26 am

smores

okay then....lol

6:27 am

lynxxx

Dr Who's companion is here too

6:27 am

smores

thanks for the do6

6:29 am

sprite

yvw smores. Am checking out wiki... other names for the hellgrammite: go-devils or crawlerbottoms. They are used as bait. But I wanted to know the etymology... it is unclear, alas.

6:29 am

smores

Sounded more like comic book arch nemesis....lol

6:30 am

sprite

in-very-deed!

6:34 am

sprite

googling Dr Who's companion... there are a lot of those!

6:34 am

lynxxx

the last one (unless we are very behind down here)

6:35 am

sprite

ah, yes right :) The watery one.

6:36 am

lynxxx

yes

6:36 am

sprite

*giggle* clue for no7: without benediction

6:38 am

lynxxx

good cryptic

6:38 am

sprite

yeah, it would work, I think, for someone used to crypto games.

6:39 am

smores

lol...sprite

6:41 am

sprite

;)

6:45 am

6:46 am

6:47 am

smores

yes, I never would have gotten the yc without listing if it wasn't mentioned earlier

6:48 am

sprite

I am picking out the last ones with the list too. Never would have thought of trying anything yc- otherwise.

6:49 am

smores

me neither, didn't know such a word existed...lol

6:49 am

lynxxx

think I'll save my rest for the morning - goodnight everyone

6:50 am

sprite

bye lyn, have a lovely eveing and sl5 well.

6:50 am

o-o

Another puny, pathetic grid.

6:51 am

sprite

one of the fun things about enable... especially this version... we get to learn such interesting, silly, archaic words :)

6:51 am

smores

night lyn, if you can't sl5, count sh5 :)

6:51 am

sprite

hello BabbleRabble, indeed it is. Just found the very puny yc6.

6:51 am

smores

Hiya BR

6:52 am

sprite

am glad to see you. How's today unfolding for you?

6:52 am

sprite

fireflies

6:53 am

smores

WTG sprite WooHoo!!!

6:54 am

sprite

very nice grid, but it has some words that require knowledge to find them.

6:55 am

smores

or your clever clueing :)

6:55 am

sprite

lol :)

6:56 am

o-o

The theme for the day is "dark."

6:58 am

smores

why dark Br?

6:58 am

o-o

phantom: sitzfleisch

6:58 am

sprite

*sending a ray of sunlight to BabbleRabble*

6:59 am

sprite

oh... I don't have to look that one up. That is almost Dutch: zitvlees. It means your bottom, and especiallly in the meaning of not having 'zitvlees' = not being able to sit down for long.

6:59 am

smores

lol...nice BR

7:00 am

smores

the power to endure or just butt?

7:02 am

sprite

no, the saying we have is: He doesn't have any 'sitzfleisch' = he is very restless, cannot sit down for long, is immediately again up and about.

7:04 am

smores

by def 1.A person's buttocks.
2.Power to endure or to persevere in an activity; staying power.

7:05 am

smores

lol...so the saying would mean without sitzfleisch he couldn't endure sitting still

7:05 am

o-o

fakeloo

7:06 am

sprite

a little different from the meaning in Dutch then. Yes, no 'sitzfleisch' would be not being able to do anything for a longer period of time.

7:06 am

smores

hmmm.....not a real toilet?

7:06 am

sprite

fakeloo? Is that bo6's brother?

7:07 am

smores

or....hey sprite....that guy has a very nice sitzfleisch....lol

7:07 am

sprite

LOL smores!

7:08 am

smores

sorry...couldn't resist

7:08 am

sprite

ok, fakeloo:
"Fakeloo is an achievement/trophy in The Naked City Vice case from L.A. Noire"

7:09 am

o-o

con man or fake story

7:09 am

sprite

very nice word. It has a good ring to it.

7:09 am

smores

lol....I like mine better....

7:10 am

o-o

fakeloo

[arbitrary formation?]
dated U.S. slang (but now used by gamers)
a made-up story; a con

"A fakeloo artist, a hoopla spreader, and a lad
who had his cards rolled up inside sticks of tea,
found on a dead man."

7:10 am

smores

oops....I'm sorry, that isn't real....lol

7:10 am

sprite

I am off, thanks for the company and fun.
BabbleRabble, I'd hold you in my thoughts... with sunlight and peace all around you.

7:11 am

spare underwear because if you hit a snow drif and end up in the oncoming traffic,first you say it,then you do it:))

10:08 am

It's upstairs, but I think the title is Wlves and Man. I haven't read his other book, Arctic Dreams

10:08 am

wolves, not wives*

10:08 am

or if you are stuck in your car for 2 or 3 days in a snow drift... you MIGHT want to freshen up a bit

10:09 am

rubyfoo

crossy,I didn't get that at first, but I just sprayed rum and coke all over my (now sticky) keyboard

Good plan, carlee. Don't forget the blankets and flares.

10:11 am

carleekat

( youtube snoemageggon it made cnn they sent out snow mobiles to rescue trapped drivers...and it is not that this little storm was predicted...was just a fluke change of the wind...and snow hit )

On the recommendation of David MacBride, author of Historical Account of a New Method of Treating the Scurvy at Sea, containing ten cases which show that this destructive disease may be easily and effectually cured without the aid of fresh vegetable diet (1764), the British Admiralty issued 40 bushels of malt in hogsheads, together with portable soup, but only a few bottles of rob of lemons for James Cook's first voyage in 1768.
The ship's company had in general been very healthy owing in great measure to Sour Krout, Portable Soup and Malt; the first two were served to the people, the one on beef days and the other on banyan days. Wort was made of the malt and at the discretion of the Surgeon given to every man that had the least symptoms of scurvy upon him. By this means, and the care and vigilance of Mr Monkhouse the Surgeon, this disease was prevented from getting a footing in the ship.
Writing shortly before his death James Cook complained that:
Every innovation whatever, tho ever so much to their advantage, is sure to meet with the highest disapprobation from Seamen: Portable Soup and Sour Krout were at first condemned by them as stuff not fit for human beings to eat. Few men have introduced into their ships more novelties in the way of victuals and drink than I have done. It has, however, in a great measure been owing to such little innovations that I have always kept my people generally speaking free from that dreadful distemper the Scurvy.
It is a little known fact that James Cook's report to the Admiralty based on his experiences from his first and second voyages came to delay the introduction of lemon juice (later lime juice) against scurvy in the Royal Navy for twenty years or until 1795.

By the way, I'm following in your footsteps. I'm going to start taking college classes soon. I was accepted into a master's program in English.

10:51 am

carleekat

excellent jells!!!!!

10:51 am

carleekat

you will LOVE it... is the best thing I ever did for myself....

10:52 am

Jellen

I have a couple of undergrad courses to take first...then it's on to grad work!

10:52 am

MimiCat

I agree, car. I went back last year after 30 years away from school...the BEST.

10:52 am

carleekat

what undergrad are you taking?

10:53 am

carleekat

i look at pics of myself from 5 years ago...to pics of me now..I look 10 years younger :) ( mind life was crap 5 years ago...but still...takes years off of you)

10:53 am

carleekat

yay for mimi too

10:53 am

Jellen

Grammar and American literature.

10:54 am

carleekat

ooh..american will be fun...grammar...necessary evil

10:54 am

MimiCat

Wish I looked better now....just have to settle for being colorful.

10:54 am

carleekat

are you full time mimi?

10:55 am

MimiCat

Had to quit again due to heart attack. But I was full-time. Hoping to get back to it this year.

10:55 am

carleekat

oh SH**....i had no idea..but keep at it...

10:56 am

MimiCat

Had to write a 2500 word original research paper and got 100%---what a boost to self-esteem. I miss it.

10:56 am

Jellen

Wow, Mimi!

10:57 am

MimiCat

I wrote in on a subject in my major so am hoping later when I write another I can reference myself!

10:57 am

carleekat

excellent... yea..i know..I had a 15 000 word one to submit at xmas ( no final exam..was worth 50 % of mark)...finished term with an 86 :)... the brainiacs didnt do so well :D

10:58 am

Jellen

What is your major, Mimi?

10:58 am

MimiCat

Psychology...want to be a therapist. My ex says it's the blind leading the blind. He may be right but that's also one reason he's my EX.

10:59 am

Jellen

Pfft on the ex!

10:59 am

carleekat

pfft the ex X 2

10:59 am

MimiCat

I like the idea of turning the unfortunate events in my life into something useful to help someone else rather than just regret the past.

11:00 am

MimiCat

He and I are much better at being divorced than we were at being married. We're kind of like brother and sister now. His girlfriend is the only fly in the ointment because he was seeing her before we split...

11:01 am

rururocks

ewww.. creepy

11:01 am

Jellen

I like my ex better now than when I was married to him.

11:03 am

rururocks

wonders if there's an ex -recovery program ?

11:03 am

MimiCat

He just can't understand why I've told him to never get us in a room together or I'll be throwing down! She was also married then and for several years after our divorce, too. Self-centered with no moral integrity....now that they live together it will be interesting to see how long it lasts---two self-centered people together.....oh, boy.

11:03 am

MimiCat

Yes, there is, ruru--it's called divorce. I'm SOOO happy to live alone now!

11:04 am

rururocks

people who cheat.. usually cheat again and again.. the numbers are unusually high

11:04 am

MimiCat

That's what I've told him....If she can do it WITH you, she can do it TO you. I don't know how someone can lie to their family for years like that.

11:05 am

MimiCat

My friends actually encouraged me to have affairs because I was so unhappy but I wouldn't have been able to look at myself in the mirror....kind of old-fashioned that way...you're either married or you're not.

11:06 am

rururocks

yes.. I get that

11:06 am

MimiCat

How could I teach my children to be honest with me and others if I was, in effect, lying to them every day by cheating? Even if they didn't know, I would.

11:07 am

carleekat

i have not found the happy place with my ex....i typically cannot have relationships with ex's...i am hot..or cold...more like frigid... it is just who i am

11:08 am

MimiCat

I'm friendly with several of my ex-boyfriends. Still friends with the first love of my life at 15.

11:09 am

MimiCat

Have you heard the expression "Hating or hold a grudge is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die?" So true.

11:10 am

Kenny Chuck

can I have a clue for the bo624?

11:10 am

carleekat

she had lots of sh5

11:11 am

MimiCat

And there were several of her....

11:12 am

Jellen

bo 6/24 rhymes with a brand of beer...Canadian, I think

11:13 am

Jellen

The beer starts with an M

11:13 am

MimiCat

OK, all, going to go make cauliflower casserole...yum. Later. ((car))

11:13 am

rururocks

*notes jellen's beer knowledge*

11:13 am

Jellen

Bye Mimi

11:14 am

MimiCat

Sorry....((car))x2! And hugs to all.

11:15 am

Kenny Chuck

Tx Jellen. Finally got it.

MimiCat

Ruru is the expert on that! Now, I'm gone.

11:18 am

Alas, Via, those plans were thwarted. I was frowned upon for making that remark.

11:30 am

oh noes! well, I brought cupcakes.

11:30 am

I'm so behind on all the gossip... what was wrong with remodeling?

11:31 am

what kind of remodel were you planning Molly?

11:32 am

rururocks

oh............

11:34 am

......?

11:35 am

MollyL

Lets just say my remodeling remark was misinterpreted and leave it at that. Happens here a LOT.

11:35 am

mixi6

when I had my kitchen moved, the general contractor came in a vacuumed many times. Dust wasn't a bad problem.

11:40 am

12:10 pm

Jilly didn't look up : D

12:10 pm

Jillyjill

ahhhh....didn't follow the correct direction, as usual

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

the Nez Perce Indians put a wolf tooth through that part

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

(just learned in the Lopez wolf book!)

12:11 pm

bichon

sounds yucky

12:11 pm

MollyL

Imagine trying to blow your nose like that. Ick.

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

interesting fashion statement

12:11 pm

bichon

ds

12:12 pm

Jillyjill

Surprised with all the body jewelry today that someone hasn't restarted....

12:12 pm

bichon

you'ld have to take the tooth out first

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

I think they do pierce that -- gives me the yicks

12:13 pm

bichon

I am "no-piercings" proud

12:13 pm

MollyL

Nurse Jill, question...are doctors and/or nurses allowed to wear earrings in the operating room?

12:13 pm

Jillyjill

yes, but haven't seen a wolf tooth (yet)

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

just ears

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

and I was 30!

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

first husband FORBADE it!

12:14 pm

bichon

dictatorial husbands

12:15 pm

Jillyjill

Molly, yes they are...most do not.

12:17 pm

MollyL

That seems strange to me, considering all the times my earrings have fallen out at inopportune moments. Glad to hear most do not. I'm re-watching Grey's Anatomy and all the scenes with dangly earrings in the operating room, over open body cavities are grossing me out.

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

I never thought of that, ick

12:17 pm

bichon

I've always wanted my ears pieced but never got up the gumption to

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

it was part of my Declaration of Independence

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

but I still lose jewelry

12:19 pm

bichon

The only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring. I'm not what you'ld call a girly-girl

12:19 pm

Jillyjill

Gray's Anatomy, like most medical TV, has things that you do not see in real life.

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

I don't wear my wedding ring; I'm afraid I'll lose it again

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

the last time, it lived in the washing machine for 6 months

12:20 pm

Jillyjill

5 left and all 5's....may have to list

12:20 pm

MollyL

That is what my nurse girly in law says Jill. She says most operating room scenes in medical tv shows look super fake to her.

12:21 pm

bichon

and all law shows look fakey to lawyers

12:21 pm

Jillyjill

The only one that was anywhere realistic was ER, they actually had medical people as advisors.

12:22 pm

Jillyjill

<-----!!FW!! all last 5's were plurals, figures

12:23 pm

bichon

Yeah! Jilly

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

yay jilly

12:24 pm

MollyL

I used to laugh at all the cleavage attire and spike heels that Cuddy wore on House. Most female hospital chiefs of staff don't dress like that.

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

good night everybody, 40 left and I'm freezing!

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

what about the police shows, also with cleavage....

12:25 pm

MollyL

Or their hair flopping in their eyes as they bust into a crack house on a raid : D

12:25 pm

Jillyjill

And the tight pants ruby....

12:25 pm

Jillyjill

Niters rubyfoo...stay warm!

12:26 pm

can you imagine dressing like that when you're around criminals?

12:26 pm

Hah! Thanks Jilly!

3:35 pm

Jillyjill

It's been a good weekend Nef and a few decisions made to my life...

3:35 pm

Jillyjill

That wasn't an age test BTW Michnick! ;)

3:36 pm

Nef

I just looked it up, and (in French) it's a masculine French adjective used in many expressions and conjunctions

3:37 pm

Jillyjill

a colorless, oily, water-insoluble, poisonous liquid

3:37 pm

Nef

the te 4 is just 2 letters short of the te 6 :-)

3:37 pm

Nef

What decisions have you made, Jilly?

3:37 pm

Michnick

Welll, Jilly, I only remember the re-runs!

3:38 pm

Michnick

Yes,Jilly, sounds monumentous

3:39 pm

Jillyjill

And if you are just starting grid...there is an absolutely quirky word (& pl) Little bo6/30 lost her sh5/14

3:39 pm

harpjane

silly word, lol

3:40 pm

Jillyjill

Well michnick, there is a similar word that means an act/facial expression revealing a good hand in poker, only this one does not double the middle consonant

3:40 pm

Jillyjill

Hey Harp...feeling better?

3:41 pm

Michnick

The mind boggles, or babbles??

3:41 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, Nef, will message you that on Facebook...

3:41 pm

harpjane

i've "graduated" to 100.4

3:41 pm

Nef

thanks, Jilly. You know I'm nosey... ;-)

3:42 pm

Nef

harp; did you get the flu?

3:42 pm

Jillyjill

I do recall a nice person on Friday who told you about Tamiflu; that if taken early will knock that flu down.

3:43 pm

harpjane

yeah, jilly but that ship has sailed...

3:43 pm

harpjane

i think it's the flue nef, we have norovirus going around also.

3:44 pm

Jillyjill

Did you get a flu shot?

3:45 pm

MollyL

*Sends Harp chicken soup*

3:46 pm

harpjane

yes, jilly, in september

3:47 pm

3:48 pm

harpjane

what church service did you go to, jilly? i had to bail on Gina at 7:30.

3:52 pm

Jillyjill

Jane: Went to 5:30 Sat and on the flu shot, it is really only effective for 90 days. I am considering paying to get a second one...

3:53 pm

Jillyjill

I got my flu shot the middle of October; I never get it earlier than that, and would have waited til the end of Oct, but since we were flying in Nov I wanted it to be effective..

3:54 pm

Jillyjill

wtg jane (nbt/nbs)

3:55 pm

Jillyjill

I will be in and out of chog; have some work to get done!

3:57 pm

Nef

I know too many nurses who have been really sick with the flu this year. Most of them have had the flu shot; but it doesn't seem very effective. Is it due to getting it too early or just doesn't last this year?

3:58 pm

Krysten

It's a different strain than the shot.

4:00 pm

Nef

true, Krysten; I forgot about that

4:02 pm

Jillyjill

I had heard they sort of missed the mark this year...

4:02 pm

harpjane

We traveled overseas in Oct, that is why we got the shot so early. But sometimes you just get sick anyway. Right?

4:04 pm

harpjane

Well I thnk I broke my 2206 record. The last time I was this sick was 1998. And, I'm here to tell you, television is REALLY bad, isn't it?

4:04 pm

Nef

I guess that when they start to develop the flu shot each year; it's kind of a wild guess which type they think will be the right one

4:05 pm

harpjane

this seems like a silly question, is the yc a familiar word?

4:05 pm

MollyL

Hell no

Harp, I can't watch "live TV" anymore. Too many commercials. That's why I subscribe to Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime.

4:08 pm

good clues you two! I'm too slow to clue today

4:08 pm

harpjane

i watched Twin Peaks Season 2 yesterday. Today movies on the CW network.

hi, annie - what good things did you pick up at B&N?

5:22 pm

bethn

we have all the stuff back in the attic, but not everyhing is yet back in place. the decorations displace a lot of stuff into the sunporch, so hopefully by tuesday all will be normal. Or better than normal because I will actually dust everything before it goes back where it belongs

5:22 pm

Soodle

I wish, Molly! Back to work tomorrow. Clear head required.

5:22 pm

hi Annie!

5:22 pm

hi welki, I bought The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan about the Dust Bowl in the 1930 and stationery which I sorely needed and some great birthday cards. Had a blast.

Minveryork

STORY ALERT!!!!! I have just posted my story in my profile.

he's a peach - we owe him big time for hosting this site

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

dr. god is a helpful guy considering he is pretty hands off

5:49 pm

momof5

I usually do that. But, since I have my own business, along with family things. It was getting used so much I was trying to simplify and actually made it confusing for myself.

5:49 pm

lol - i think we've all tried that 'let's simplify' strategy - doesn't seem to work that well

Hi Min. Doing well. Enjoying getting back to the game more regularly.

5:51 pm

o-o

Dr_God is a man ....and is, therefore, without reason or accountability .... or only exits as an abnormal .... the experts tell us so.

5:51 pm

welki

does it generate "more" secure passwords for you, too? (and how much does it cost?)

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

i use my yahoo account. . . under my name in contacts in the notes i list all my accounts password (cryptically) and hint answers

5:53 pm

momof5

Robo has a free trial period of 30 days. You can then pay a fee (depending on your devices and needs). I got used to it when I worked for someone else, and use it for my own business now. Really helps when every site I go to needs a login

5:54 pm

momof5

Definitely has high security too

5:54 pm

momof5

You can check it out here: www.roboform.com

5:55 pm

welki

watching the video

5:56 pm

welki

looks like, for what i'd need it for (my aging memory), it'd be $10 for the first year and $20/year after that

5:57 pm

welki

(hehehe - US Dollars)

5:57 pm

momof5

Not too bad, considering some of the fees for other options out there

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

that sounds like a good deal

5:59 pm

welki

if you use a mac, there's a built in password manager called keychain - you enter in the data and only have to remember one password

6:00 pm

welki

(there are limitations with keychain, though - i think i might try the trial and, if i like it, cough up the dough)

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

i could do all my tax stuff on a mac until recently. . .too much trouble to change my life now

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

*couldn't

6:01 pm

welki

i use both

6:01 pm

welki

BUT - no upgrade to windows 8 :)

6:01 pm

we use lastpass -- free -- and again it only needs one password. I HATE the keychain on the mac, cannot figure out how to tell it to stop saving and filling in things.

6:01 pm

momof5

I used to have a mac for basic home use, etc. Now that I have a business, I prefer the Windows. It just works better for my needs and with the companies I connect with

6:01 pm

6:22 pm

momof5

Still trying to figure it out

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Really strange - monkeyed it early on by mistake! Very happy!

6:23 pm

Lizlin

It builds on the past tense of le 4 - to jump

6:23 pm

momof5

Thx Liz! Got it

6:24 pm

Lizlin

Still not getting that pe 6! Missing a few pe words still though. Down to 17 - listed at 20!

6:24 pm

6:24 pm

Minveryork

bo 6/24 word rhymes with a kind of beer or actress Rachel bi****, change the first vowel to another Lizlin.

6:25 pm

Lizlin

do 5/ 14 - Italian for sweet or dessert

6:25 pm

Lizlin

ty Min - have the bo word!

6:25 pm

momof5

pe6 builds off the pe4. If you are hit by something you could say you were pe6/24

6:25 pm

Minveryork

do 5/14 word is do 4/5 word w/extra consonant gapeach.

6:26 pm

firefly779

;)

6:54 pm

Anniebrook

very good news, firefly

6:54 pm

smores

6:55 pm

smores

yet it has words like bo6

6:56 pm

stidmama

I am so glad your headaches are better. Headaches suck.

6:56 pm

smores

That's wonderful firefly...so happy for you :)

6:56 pm

firefly779

Yep, plagued with them for nine months between the first and second surgeries and now, gone. Think I may have licked this beast...

6:57 pm

firefly779

Thank you everyone!

6:57 pm

stidmama

okay, so hot tub keys found behind the pina coladas. Who has the key to the cabana boy storage locker? *looks around*

6:59 pm

stidmama

later smores

7:00 pm

stidmama

firefly, how's the weather over there? It's a lot drier and warmer than normal (in general) over here.

7:01 pm

stidmama

We were able to prune the last of the fruit trees yesterday -- that's my younger son in his pear tree. He was taking out about fifteen feet of the central trunk to keep things more manageable.

7:01 pm

Anniebrook

firefly, I read your profile and am so happy for you. You are a brave and wonderful girl.

7:01 pm

firefly779

It's been low 30's or less, but pretty dry. Kids are disappointed we only had snow Christmas Day but then no more.

7:01 pm

Anniebrook

Woman, too

7:03 pm

firefly779

Thanks Annie, I feel brave. :) and I feel like a conquerer too. It's been a long year, and I'm very optimistic about 2013 being SO much better!

7:04 pm

Anniebrook

It will be better. You overcame the worst of it. 2013 will be Your year.

7:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

can't wait till 2014 when i (we) get healthcare!

7:06 pm

stidmama

well, a white xmas is pretty rare, so that's something. They'll get plenty of snow soon, I bet!

7:07 pm

Anniebrook

Good night, dear babblers. I am going to read.

7:07 pm

stidmama

My inlaws are in Chicago (again) with their daughter's family. I think they are getting more snow and storm there than usual, though not so bad yet as that one storm last year.

7:07 pm

firefly779

Night Annie ;)

7:08 pm

firefly779

I thought the white Xmas was a real nice touch myself, and it was nice wet snow that packed really well for snowmen and snowballs. Usually our snow is much too dry for that.

7:09 pm

stidmama

ah, wet snow! that's the best!

7:09 pm

stidmama

We had a white morning, but by afternoon it was all gone in our yard, though it lingered more in town.

7:09 pm

stidmama

And it has been icy a few mornings, from ice fog, but otherwise not bad for driving.

7:11 pm

stidgmere

Hello all just starting up.

7:11 pm

stidmama

How's the house, firefly? Are you "all done" with it now and settled in, or are you (like us) STILL working on one thing or another? We've only been here 13 years, no hurry...

7:11 pm

stidmama

hello Mother!

7:11 pm

stidmama

<--- This was Grant yesterday, in his pear tre...

7:13 pm

stidmama

tree, I mean. *sigh*

7:13 pm

stidgmere

A nice view of him outstanding in his tree.

7:13 pm

stidmama

He's taking the largest piece of the pearwood to the school woodshop. I figure fruitwood like that will score big with his teacher. And he'll keep the rest for himself.

7:16 pm

stidmama

Did you get to hear Matthew play? Was there a good turnout at the jam?

7:17 pm

stidgmere

I didn't go in. I just dropped him off today. We stopped by his lodgings to leave off his purchaes, pack, and slacks. Less stuff to remember at the end of the day.

7:17 pm

stidmama

Good thinking.

7:17 pm

stidmama

I completely forgot to bring your tortillas over -- will drop them by tomorrow. So far, no work, so might have a day "off" to visit with you.

7:18 pm

firefly779

Oh no, we are still doing things in and around the house. Finally put up a shade and valance in the kitchen this weekend! Still have touch ups to do from building too...it's a process lol

7:21 pm

stidmama

It sure is -- and just as one thing gets fixed, something else needs touching up, adjusting, repairs...

7:21 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidgmere! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog

7:22 pm

Minveryork

stidmama, did I miss our fireworks? I had to go eat dinner.

7:22 pm

Minveryork

I wanted to get my FWs w/you, but then dinner was ready.

7:23 pm

firefly779

Oh, I didn't tell you...whenst in Seattle we stayed the weekend after pre-op appts before the Monday surgery and we took in the King Tut exhibit at the Pacific Science Center! It was amazing, to say the least.

7:24 pm

firefly779

I did not enjoy the cold and rain however...but it was a great weekend just my hubby and I before the big hospital moment. ;)

7:25 pm

stidmama

I am glad you got to the Tut exhibit. Mother, Matthew and I saw it in Los Angeles years ago, Tom and Grant saw it this time. I think I was judging debate that weekend.

7:26 pm

stidmama

I am glad you had some time "alone together" -- those are precious moments when one has young children!

7:26 pm

stidmama

Min, I found the last word a little while ago, monkeying -- didn't even "see" I had found a valid word until I noticed the fw on the screen1

7:26 pm

firefly779

We got the book after with all the pictures to show the kids, yet strangely we've yet to sit down and do that. Lol.

7:27 pm

stidmama

I am sorry I didn't wait for you.

7:27 pm

stidmama

I have one of the Tut exhibit books out in my bedroom, firefly! They are fun to look at even years later.

7:29 pm

firefly779

I am glad we didn't try to come home between Fridays appts and Mondays surgery though - the pass crammed up and closed. It was snowy coming back the following Wednesday and driving 30 mph, but we survived.

7:29 pm

stidmama

I do just want to point out that the Seahawks managed to win rather convincingly again... I hope the QB on the other team will be okay, he seemed to hurt his leg badly on one play.

7:29 pm

stidmama

Yes, Snoqualmie hasn't been that easy this year -- though still better than some of the others!

7:29 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations stidmama on your fireworks! Hooray for U

7:30 pm

stidmama

It's a long drive if you do it twice on one weekend, firefly -- good call to save some time and gasoline and be better rested for the surgery.

7:32 pm

Minveryork

In that case,I will enter last word. Been saving it since 4:51

7:32 pm

stidmama

go Min go!

7:32 pm

Minveryork

I am finished! I have fireworks! se 6/24 was my final word.

7:32 pm

stidmama

YAY Min!!!

7:32 pm

stidgmere

Congrats minver and stidmama.

7:33 pm

Minveryork

Story already in profile, but I will be here to clue if needed

7:33 pm

stidmama

Well, my eyes are pretty tired. I think I will go start heating water for noodles. It's a good night for something simple like spaghetti and green beans.

7:33 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

7:34 pm

stidmama

Firefly, I hope you continue to feel wonderful. And that the kids get enough snow to satisfy their snowball=throwing inclinations!

7:34 pm

stidmama

I'll call you tomorrow, Mother *poof*

7:35 pm

firefly779

Night stiddy, glad we connected again. ;)

7:37 pm

Minveryork

firefly779, I just read your profile.I am so glad 2012 ended well with the success of your surgery. How have you been?

8:02 pm

car.eeyore

Good evening everyone!

8:03 pm

stidgmere

Hi car. How are you on this Sunday evening?

8:03 pm

Struggling to hang on to what wits I have left and extremely exhausted, but otherwise fine!

8:03 pm

car.eeyore

How are you stid?

8:04 pm

stidgmere

Keeping up the faith then. Still trying. I am fine. Quiet day other than rooting for the Seahawks and having older grandson over for lunch.

8:05 pm

car.eeyore

Quite a win for the Hawks today!

8:05 pm

stidgmere

It was more of a loss for the Redskins. Their quarterback could not do his usual best and that made the difference.

8:06 pm

Minveryork

Hello car.eeyore! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat

8:07 pm

car.eeyore

Hello Min! How are you this evening?

Hi Molly! My mom fell yesterday and broke her scapula. She is home and I was so worried about her comfort that I did not sleep. Now, with her dementia issues, it is getting very difficult already, so I am hiding out for a few minutes before checking on her again.

8:17 pm

11:17 pm

Nef

11:18 pm

cosdem

11:18 pm

Nef

nope; more like quiet! :-)

11:19 pm

cosdem

lol i enjoy that when ryans moms dog leaves the house after we dogsit him lol

11:22 pm

Jillyjill

I sure wish my computers win8 system would learn to play nicely with my router...

11:22 pm

Nef

these past 2-3 weekends our son has stayed over with the grandson. He helps us by doing some house hold chores we can't right now (ie: neither DH or I can open a pickle jar right now); so that adds to the disruption...

11:23 pm

Nef

oh, JIlly. Still having troubles? (I had to have my son hook up the new router when he was here a few weeks ago

11:24 pm

Jillyjill

My computer seems to be the only one having difficulty. Must be the Win8. I certainly hope our router hold on...

11:25 pm

Nef

Ours just died without warning. I got it hooked up; but the computers wouldn't talk to the printer and the printer just got weird.

11:26 pm

Jillyjill

We have not connected printers; use blue tooth for that.

11:29 pm

Nef

I don't have blue tooth yet. The printer decides it may or may not work now. It may print in the AM something we wanted printed last night. DOn't know why or how that happens; but once our son is here, it works beautifully again (and it's less than a year old!

11:29 pm

Jillyjill

So, if I disappear...you know why. Actually not too bad, I just disconnect then reconnect.

11:30 pm

stidmama

hey all

11:31 pm

Jillyjill

Hey there ((stid))

11:31 pm

stidmama

I just got home from getting Grant from his gf's bday party, and taking a friend of theirs home...

11:31 pm

stidmama

It has been a long day.

11:31 pm

stidmama

how are you-all?

11:32 pm

Jillyjill

I actually may get a MAC Air. The hospital is changing out the ones the doctors have and I can put in to get one for $400.

11:32 pm

stidmama

Nef, you need an electric jar opener thingy like my folks have!

11:32 pm

Jillyjill

Stid's Taxi is up and running!!

11:32 pm

Nef

this computer of mine does that whenever it wants to also; Jilly. DH bought me a new used computer last year for Christmas and it's tempermental (older Mac OS that Apple isn't continuing support for)

11:32 pm

stidmama

The Macs are okay, jilly -- if you don't want to babble on it...

11:33 pm

Nef

hi stid.

11:34 pm

Nef

We've always had a Mac since back in the early 90's. Dh has a PC and the laptop os a PC also (but it has Linex for an OS)

11:34 pm

Jillyjill

I thought it would be good way to learn MAC, use the graphic/movie stuff. I have a new Dell laptop.

11:34 pm

stidmama

I babble on mine, but can't use Expert -- I have to do the semi-old-fashioned trick of using Lickety in the browser. :-)

11:35 pm

stidmama

There are some nice features with the movie software, for sure!

11:36 pm

Jillyjill

I also thought it might be nice to travel with being so light. Woudln't be using for a regular as the Air doesn't have a disc drive.

11:37 pm

Nef

I think that getting a Mac Air for $400 is a good deal; BUT just make sure it was made after 2009 and has intel processors

11:37 pm

herinfernallady

Hello my lovelies

11:37 pm

Nef

(I think all the Mac Airs do; but be sure and ask about that)

11:37 pm

Nef

hi herin

11:37 pm

Jillyjill

2010 and will check on the intel.

11:37 pm

Jillyjill

Hello herin

11:38 pm

herinfernallady

Hi

11:39 pm

Nef

Finally got FW! (chatted too much earlier I guess!)

11:39 pm

herinfernallady

Yikes iit is nearly flip time

11:39 pm

herinfernallady

When did it become this late in the day (for me any way)

11:41 pm

Nef

Not having intel means that the new OS of Lion or whatever isn't in it and so there's no way to play a lot of the videos on Youtube or Flash or other stuff like that

11:41 pm

Nef

did you take a nap or something herin?

11:44 pm

herinfernallady

`There was no nap for me just been trying to earn my keep around the house and doing housework

11:45 pm

Jillyjill

Wondering if I can manage to stay up for flip. No work tomorrow...low census day and it's going to be a mother-son day!

11:45 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, and thanks Nef for the MAC info.

11:46 pm

herinfernallady

With a washing machine that is leaking i have been using towels under it. I feel like I am washing for a whole soccer team

11:46 pm

Nef

herin, come clean my house! Please? ;-)

11:47 pm

Jillyjill

brb...I hope!

11:47 pm

Nef

yw, Jilly. I wish we would have known that before DH got this one

11:47 pm

herinfernallady

You paying the Airfair?

11:48 pm

Nef

LOL!!! There's always a catch, isn't there?? ;-)

11:48 pm

stidmama

sorry I disappeared, my computer has been acting strange since tom updated the OS.

11:48 pm

herinfernallady

Yep

11:49 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Stid

11:50 pm

stidmama

hey lady

11:50 pm

herinfernallady

Nef with the heat we have had it has made it very easy to quickly catch up on all the washing if there was extra

11:50 pm

Nef

crazy how we are all so dependent on these electronic devices, isn't it stid? Jilly has been having trouble staying online too

11:51 pm

herinfernallady

My laptop keyboard is faulty :(

11:51 pm

Nef

that leaky washing machine doesn't sound like fun, herin.

11:51 pm

stidmama

true indeed, nef

11:52 pm

herinfernallady

It isn't especially when there is carpet next to it

11:52 pm

stidmama

bummer, lady

11:52 pm

stidmama

Nef, thanks for the pep talk earlier.

11:53 pm

stidmama

I have to head out -- if I can get in bed by ten, I will have at least seven hours' sleep before I have to be up in the morning.

11:53 pm

stidmama

Have a great week, everyone! *poof*

11:53 pm

Nef

herin, would that be covered by a warranty? What you had described to me about it the last time we talked makes me think it's a problem of faulty wiring or something

11:54 pm

Nef

Niters stid!!!

11:54 pm

herinfernallady

There is no warrenty on it as it is old and seconds

11:54 pm

herinfernallady

Night Stid

11:55 pm

Nef

oh, so it isn't the computer you got last Christmas?

11:55 pm

cosdem

I hate late night commercials

11:56 pm

Nef

11:56 pm

herinfernallady

Yes it is the computer. Sorry I thought you ment the machine

11:56 pm

herinfernallady

11:57 pm

herinfernallady

THe Pc will get sorted when I can get my act together. HI Cos

11:57 pm

cosdem

hi all

11:57 pm

Nef

Why does it always take so long waiting for the flip when I'm done with the grid; but the time goes too fast when I haven't finished ?

11:58 pm

herinfernallady

Well I hate to love you and leave you but at flip I have ot do things

11:58 pm

Nef

bye, herin! See you later!

11:58 pm

cosdem

11:59 pm

herinfernallady
