hi cotfessi, some people use a list that one of the babblers kindly supplies. If you want, you can find it with one of the links below, in green: Lickety's Babble Clues (under friends of babble)

Welcome to the ga4!

2:35 am

cotfessi

anist

2:35 am

cotfessi

oops

2:36 am

sprite

yeah, that happens a lot. After chatting, you have to move your cursor back to the Add Word spot. A bad thing in the layout of the site.

2:36 am

cotfessi

thanks sprite... i'll check it out

2:36 am

flosey

cofessi welcome to Babble, hope you enjoy the grid

2:37 am

cotfessi

i can see this becoming an addiction =)

2:37 am

flosey

15 left and think I'll head to bed, maybe have time for tomorrow

2:37 am

sprite

ok good luck! Feel free to ask questions and to join the chat. And enjoy the ga4.

2:38 am

sprite

yeah, lol, it can easily be. I am glad I am not addicted to it... I could stop playing any day... if I wanted...

2:38 am

sprite

flosey, sleep well *hug*

2:41 am

sprite

ok, will brb, need some food.

2:52 am

rbud

<--- giggling at the idea that spritey might quit - I assume she is funnin' us

2:54 am

rubyfoo

good morning

2:54 am

rubyfoo

<-- doesn't believe Sprite would (could) quit; the conversation is too scintillating!

2:54 am

sprite

back :)
Lol... yes rbud, you are right... I love to play this ga4.

2:55 am

sprite

hi ruby :)

2:55 am

sprite

when I am on vacation, I don't miss having internet, but I do miss Babble.

2:58 am

rubyfoo

DH just announced that he doesn't want to live with me any more. Good luck with that! I told him maybe his "last" ex-wife would have him back, then fixed him his apero and walked away

2:58 am

sprite

good for you, ruby. Sillly man, doesn't realise how lucky he is.

2:59 am

rubyfoo

he's annoyed because fridge isn't making ice cubes and even tho I make them for him in little glasses, he wants it fixed, NOW!

2:59 am

sprite

he'll need help packing his suitcase ;)

3:00 am

sprite

he mustn't take out his frustration on you. Am glad you don't let him.

3:00 am

rubyfoo

hahah, I'll help with that!

3:01 am

sprite

I thought you might :)

3:03 am

sprite

ruby, darling, it won't kill him to not have ice cubes for a bit. I promise.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I make him ice cubes with little glasses. But at 9:30AM, please!

3:04 am

sprite

you are outta ya mind! Forget about the ice. Put the drink cold until the fridge is repaired. Jeezz.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

the freezer is cold, just won't make ice; I think there's an air bubble in the water line. And the fridge part, is too cold, so stuff freezes. I don't think we need a new one, but there is no one here who repairs GE's

3:09 am

sprite

oh dear, that is a problem. Ah well, tell your DH that sprite said he must count his blessings. Seriously.

3:09 am

rubyfoo

I'm not going upstairs

3:10 am

rubyfoo

at least I can hide here and not have him bother me - except maybe by phone, and then I'll hang up

3:10 am

sprite

nah, no reason you should. Let him stew.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

what's so sad about this is that I'm doing the best I can, considering that this is pretty depressing. I still make his meals, take care of the dogs and organize things as best I can

3:13 am

rubyfoo

amen

3:14 am

rubyfoo

sorry. Is there any Zanax in the PB?

3:14 am

sprite

the man is severely depressed, ruby, and deep down very very scared. He cannot even see everything you do for him, he knows he depends on you and is dead scared of it.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

or even xanax?

3:15 am

sprite

am4 to that ;)
Sure, come into the PB, have a nice cuppa, a bit of Stroopwafel, and a Zanax.

3:15 am

sprite

or Xanax. Hell, take both!

3:15 am

sprite

and a big hug from me

3:16 am

rubyfoo

I think the hug would do the most good!

3:16 am

sprite

yeah... well I am hugging you right now, across the distance!

3:17 am

rubyfoo

nort

3:17 am

Marmar

Hey Ruby, take good care of yourself too. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Sorry things are difficult for you right now.

Lizlin

3:45 am

Marmar

Ruby, I am actually acutely curious about the correlation of sugar consumption and depression. I notice when I cut sugar out or even WAY down, I feel much better and think clearer.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

that's funny, marmar, when I'm down in the dumps it's the only time I crve something sweet....there must be a correlation

3:46 am

rubyfoo

crave*

3:50 am

Marmar

I am actively trying cut it totally out. I have a fam member that is suffering from depression and has been for years, and has high sugar consumption. I can't seem to get him to try to cut it down. Excersize is also an amazing tool against depression.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

my only exercise is stairs (many) and turning pages in a book. I don't think cooking counts

3:52 am

sprite

I wonder about the combination of to7/40 and on7.

Morning, all! I'm going to start posting a daily demotivator to give you laughs. These are posters that are parodies of those motivational pictures that hang in offices and they are sold by despair.com. Really funny.

8:07 am

crosshair

start/accessories/ease of acess/on screen keybard..try that judi

8:08 am

smores

so it's only on babble? you can type on other screens?

8:08 am

crosshair

if it is a kb issue

8:08 am

crosshair

i would restart babble if it is a babble only issue

8:09 am

crosshair

but i have used the on screen kb many times when my regular keyboard has suddenly failed

8:09 am

smores

agree...log out log in or refresh

8:09 am

smores

<----failure with on screen kb...lol

8:10 am

crosshair

lol

8:11 am

crosshair

had to try it.first time i have brought up the on screen keyboard on win 7.they have really improved it!!

8:12 am

smores

back when I shared my computer with my daughter, she switched it to on screen keyboard and then left. I was freaking out didn't know what was going on...lol

8:12 am

crosshair

i have a friend with only one arm who uses it as it is much faster for him over using a traditional keyboard

8:13 am

smores

cool...it is a nice option...I may check it out again just for the halibut :)

8:13 am

crosshair

mmm halibut and chips....

8:13 am

smores

lol...

8:13 am

crosshair

halibut is so crazy expensive now;((

8:14 am

smores

I haven't even looked, or thought of halibut in years. My favorite is tilapia and salmon.

8:14 am

crosshair

saw some at the grocer,it was $4.40 per 100 grams!! that means a bit about the size of a deck of cards is 8 dollars!

8:15 am

crosshair

so it was haddock for crossy and family again

8:16 am

crosshair

mm nice ma 6/36.do not see it in the grid often

8:17 am

smores

I bougth pollock recently, had it on special, was quite surprised.

8:18 am

medusa

well that kind of clue you put up helped me crossy. thanks

8:19 am

medusa

mimi that was good!

8:19 am

crosshair

it is a nice fish also.my fav way of prepping fish is to make my own herb and spiced flour coating,place the pillets in milk for a minute,shake it off roll in the coating mixture and fry in pan with just a dab of butter and in the last minute give it a splash of lemon juice and fresh ground black peppercorns and a dash of sea salt

8:19 am

Anniebrook

smores, how did you make the pollack?

8:19 am

suefrad625

can i have a clue for the bottom lone I

8:19 am

crosshair

fillets*

8:19 am

suefrad625

I do not have a clue for the go5, sorry

8:19 am

smores

Had heard it wasn't very good. Broiled it with some butter and lemon pepper seasoning then some fresh Italian bread crumbs on top right before it was done.

8:20 am

Anniebrook

sounds delish, crossy and you too, smores...going to buy pollock and try it out

8:20 am

crosshair

im 5/16..sort of short for day dreaming

8:21 am

crosshair

or a italian picture lol

8:21 am

smores

yum crossy, yeah I like my fish fried as well, but I thought I would try it broiled which is how I usually make my tilapia

8:21 am

crosshair

i know it is not a accurate clue,but it is how i roll today

8:22 am

suefrad625

ty cross

8:22 am

crosshair

tilapia is such a gentle flavoured fish that steaming is best

8:23 am

crosshair

i like my fish with more of a "gamey" taste

8:23 am

suefrad625

i like packing fish into tinfoil with vegs and let it cook for 20min

8:23 am

Judi

Giving it another go.

8:24 am

crosshair

another good way sue

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

i like thinly slicing onion and tomato on tp and broiling, the flavors seep into the fish. a little olive oil on top.

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

and oregano

8:24 am

Judi

Fingers, toes and eyeballs crossed.

8:24 am

crosshair

we are trying to add more fish to our diet and less on the red meat

8:24 am

suefrad625

nice temple

8:25 am

suefrad625

bbl

8:25 am

smores

agree, should really say broiled, I more "steam" it in the oven. Then take the foil off the top at the end

8:25 am

crosshair

i am trying to get it to three times a week

8:25 am

crosshair

mmm sounds good smores

8:25 am

smores

8:26 am

smores

good thing bacon isn't red heh?

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

8:27 am

smores

8:27 am

crosshair

8:33 am

smores

hey crossy, did you ever try the bacon pull apart bread?

8:34 am

crosshair

i did.it was amazing,but it has more fat and calories than eating a pound of bacon!!

8:35 am

smores

lol..yeah...not something ya want to fix to often :)

8:36 am

crosshair

i gained 5 pounds just cooking it

8:36 am

smores

smores

my daughters have both become bacon fanatics

8:39 am

smores

They were watching a movie last night, only about an hour after dinner mind you, my youngest asked her sister if she would fix some popcorn and instead she fried up a pound of bacon...lol

8:39 am

Judi

smores

Ty phae

8:54 am

smores

YAY Bzzn!!! Enjoy your day :)

8:54 am

9:04 am

Nef

When DH got out of the hospital this time, he didn't qualify for a visiting nurse; but he had home PT, OT, and speech therapy totaling 6 visits a week. But no nurse..

9:05 am

crosshair

indeed nef.many times they are spread too thin or the allowable covered visits are not nearly enough

9:05 am

Nef

(maybe they counted on me being the nurse?)

9:06 am

Nef

Back in the early 1970's I was a county health nurse; so I was okay with it..

9:07 am

medusa

no7 please

9:07 am

Nef

but I've always seen that the case manager was the nurse before this time (we've had home care several times for both DH and then his aunt who stayed here when she was ill)

9:09 am

car.eeyore

We are truly blessed...nurse 3 x week, OT, PT and a home health aide are all on deck.

9:09 am

crosshair

zoozzoom

Hello, Angelsong.

9:20 am

medusa

thanks nef. how did i not get that?lol

9:21 am

Nef

peri, the saline nasal spray or netti pot really helps too. They loosen stuff up so the sinuses drain better

9:21 am

periwinkle

I do have some of the spray, I forgot I had it.

9:21 am

Nef

hi Angelsong. How are you?

9:21 am

crosshair

i use the salinex pump nasal spray.it is very nice

9:22 am

scouser

Hello zoozzoom I still have that lovely statement of yours on my wall: "blessed are those who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused." Thank you. and yes, I have just finished the grid (in two sessions!)

9:22 am

medusa

i am really struggling with the last few.

9:23 am

Nef

I use the saline spray all the time (I'm allergic to cat dander; and of course we inherited AUnty's cat when she died).

9:23 am

scouser

anyone want any clues before I go?

9:23 am

periwinkle

I will look for it

9:23 am

medusa

or5 please

9:23 am

Nef

YAY, scouser!!! WTG!!!

9:24 am

scouser

Hi Nef - I miss my cat.

9:24 am

smores

Okay, I'm back, tummy full and ready to finds some words :)

9:24 am

smores

WooHoo scouser :)

9:24 am

crosshair

"i use the salinex often even when not sick because the electric heaters in here make the air dryer than a popcorn fart and it plays hell with the nose and sinuses

9:24 am

medusa

i have 4 cats, 1 of them s very clingy to meatthe moment while i am down

9:24 am

scouser

or5 start of word relating to birds.

9:25 am

Nef

some brand/generic names are Ocean or Sea Spray; they are just a regular salt water solution (no medications); and easy to make your own solution after you get the bottle

9:25 am

smores

lol...crossy

9:25 am

periwinkle

I have a bottle of store brand salt spray, need to locate it

9:25 am

smores

<---hoping all your farts are dry ones :)

9:26 am

crosshair

now that is a handy blessing indeed smores

9:26 am

medusa

9:26 am

smores

9:27 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Scouser..sorry was making tea..glad you like it :-)

9:27 am

crosshair

9:27 am

zoozzoom

9:27 am

Nef

LOL! :-)

9:27 am

smores

9:27 am

medusa

9:28 am

Sam

When I fart, I want the wind in my face.

9:28 am

smores

9:28 am

scouser

zoozzoom I like the ready-made-flag for when IoW secedes from Britain - that great film "Passport to Pimlico" is on YouTube in its entirety for free.

9:28 am

medusa

not getting that clue crossy

9:28 am

crosshair

so,never stand upwind of an s.b.d?

9:29 am

smores

agreed Sam,that kinda "wind" I don't want at my back

9:29 am

crosshair

what clue medusa?

9:29 am

Sam

And by the way, never trust a fart.

9:29 am

zoozzoom

Thats the offical flag of Isle of Wight..there was a competition for a design and that one won.

9:30 am

scouser

9:30 am

medusa

the or5

9:30 am

Nef

I've never figured out the upwind and downwind thing. I just don't want to be around those S.B. D.'s

9:30 am

smores

that is best Nef...lol

9:30 am

periwinkle

SBD's?

9:31 am

scouser

Whoopee cushions all round for you folks

9:31 am

Sam

If you're dealing the SBD, you want the breeze in your face so the wind stays behind you for someone else to appreciate.

9:31 am

Sam

Why do farts stink? So that deaf people can appreciate them.

9:32 am

scouser

Technicalities of flatulent management today - new magazine on sale via BabbleChog

9:32 am

scouser

Time for someone to think of a title for the magazine

9:33 am

zoozzoom

without being too rude..but i was on the bus this morning and some-one did a trump..OMG...had to suffer for ages..even with the windows open.

9:33 am

scouser

Thank you crossy - "Panache - Flatulence Management Today" obtainable from all good booksellers and station forecourts.

9:33 am

Nef

9:34 am

medusa

thanks for making me laugh guys. i felt horrible today but you made me laugh big time

9:34 am

zoozzoom

hahaha yes many did..all with red faces so still non the wiser.

9:34 am

scouser

Shush - remember that those of advanced years usually lose their sense of smell before any other sense!

9:35 am

zoozzoom

Any more episodes like that then i say bring on the years..lol

9:36 am

crosshair

How are you ? We're all just fartin' around...

9:38 am

scouser

To change the topic slightly I do remember an instance of a very ripe Pont L_Eveque cheese being left in the car on a hot day during the ferry from France. When we got back to car and opened our windows gasping, the neighbouring cars all had to shut their windows and drivers scowled and raised their fists at us mightily.

9:38 am

MLFAN17

ijust got the AN 10:)

9:38 am

smores

LOL...hilarious scouser :)

9:39 am

Nef

Oh, My, scouser! THat was some strong cheese! How long did it take til the car smelled better?

It was a very large cheese too - enough olfactory-power to cover 100 square yards I reckon.

9:40 am

smores

11:31 am

smores

glad to hear he is healing nicely

11:31 am

rubyfoo

wow! he was such a charmer that he certainly deserved being fixed up

11:31 am

bichon

smores, Watson is a precious little Shih Tzu who had an unfortunate experience. I nursed him back to a reasonable weight and he was flown to OK for surgery

11:32 am

bichon

A rescue organization raised the money for his care

11:32 am

rubyfoo

bichon deserves a lot of credit for that as he was such a mess when she rescued him!

ahh, glad to see my nephew's unusual middle name is in the grid today (UN4/5)

1:32 pm

hego

Really!

1:34 pm

EvaNadine

yup. my SILs family is Basque.

1:35 pm

bichon

Basque isn't related to any other language, right?

1:35 pm

EvaNadine

im not the expert, but it is its own language, yes. though it DOES sound a lot like spanish, to me. (but then, i also dont speak spanish.)

1:35 pm

Douglas

Wouldn't it be unusual if Basque wasn't related to any other language?

1:36 pm

EvaNadine

i DO know that, despite being from the Basque region of Spain, if you tell them theyre spanish, they get extremely upset!

1:36 pm

bichon

Being net to Spain, it might sound like it, but I think the origins of it are unknown

1:37 pm

hego

I think it has celtic origins.

1:37 pm

hego

It's nothing like Spanish.

1:38 pm

hego

we must look it up some time.

1:38 pm

bichon

It may be pre-Indo European. Very isolated remnant

1:38 pm

3:20 pm

lynxxx

can you see the Lickety Add button up at the Top.click on that and put it where you like, you can resize it too. Enter youir words into that and it will all happen for you

lynxxx

very well - how are all of you?

4:03 pm

sarah6girls

we all good at bit of a lost so come on here as i am giving up smokeing not had one for 24 hours now :)

4:05 pm

lynxxx

smart thinking! I just stopped a few years ago too - blood pressure was up - made a big difference. Too expensive to smoke now anyway

4:05 pm

sarah6girls

my bp is high last time was done was 155-94

4:06 pm

lynxxx

no smoking will make it drop - as well as making a lot of other things a lot easier

4:07 pm

sarah6girls

:) am on day 3 of diet to as was upset when i got on and was over 20 stone :(

4:09 pm

lynxxx

I always fluctuate quite a lot too - don't be disheartened. You probably should only weigh yourself once a week...just make sure you do it at the same time of day

4:09 pm

stidgmere

I have no idea how much a stone is. If I were you, I'd just drop it. No use carrying arround stones in your pockets.

4:10 pm

sarah6girls

yeah going to on a sunday :) am sick of being big now i want to run round with girls and can not at mo

4:10 pm

sarah6girls

anton

sarah6girls

sorry

4:11 pm

lynxxx

hi Stigmere - don't we all wish losing weight was that easy

4:11 pm

sarah6girls

yes sorry

4:13 pm

stidgmere

Absolutely. Losing weight, what a drag. We should ban scales as being detrimental to happiness.

4:13 pm

lynxxx

best thing I ahve done for a verfy long tgime was stopping smoking and started going to gym - I may not have lost all the weight I should but feel a 100 times better

4:13 pm

lynxxx

sorry for all these typos

4:13 pm

stidgmere

After awhile fingers don't want to just use letters on the grid. We want free choice for our typing.

4:14 pm

lynxxx

I have a new laptop with numberpad and still not used to different positions'

4:19 pm

lynxxx

done - and now off to walk Stew and get to gym - bye everyone

I have a great big 33. Slow grid today.

4:26 pm

stidgmere

So how are folks today? Here in the great Northwest we are about to start a fire in the fireplace to take the damp out of the air.

4:27 pm

MollyL

Sounds cozy Gran Mere.

4:28 pm

stidgmere

Yes, Molly. It is a good day for doing warming things. I need to do some ironing and will once I have this grid better under control.

Ir4ing is my least favorite chore, but it still has to get done once a week. : )

4:36 pm

periwinkle

help with ma6/36 pls

4:36 pm

stidgmere

It is one activity that one sees definite improvement and there is completion which also is a reward. Thinking back in history, there have been many times in the past when people didn't have "extra" clothes they were not wearing. We are so blessed with plentitude.

5:35 pm

crosshair

5:37 pm

jmcnrick

sounds tasty crossy. . . i will probably eat left overs of my shrimp, pasta and cheese . . .i hope i have some white wine

5:37 pm

crosshair

giving me wine is like feeding a pig a strawberry,bring on the vodka!

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

well i like pigs. . . they are very smart

5:38 pm

crosshair

some pig! good ole wilbur

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

if i were to give up meat it would be pork. . .but giving up bacon and spareribs has been too tough for me

5:40 pm

crosshair

mmm bacon and ribs.they are what stop me from going to fish only

5:40 pm

Nef

hi again everyone. The grid started out well; but now I have 61 left and am blind

5:40 pm

stidgmere

Oh Crossy. We just must have a potluck dinner with Babblers in the near future. When the thaw is complete and we can travel without the mud.

5:40 pm

jmcnrick

you should have my very special barbeque ribs. . . everyone loves them

5:40 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef. . .

5:41 pm

stidgmere

I am using resources to find the last 4 words. Determined look.

5:41 pm

Nef

hi jmc. How are you today?

5:41 pm

jmcnrick

go stidgmere go

5:42 pm

jmcnrick

i am doing okay. . . i had my fabulous spice rack delivered and installed yesterday. . . my hubby's cousin made it from some quarter cut oak all by hand

5:42 pm

crosshair

mmmmmm.now i want some nice sticky sweet ribs...

5:42 pm

Nef

Go stidg! I'm encouraged now to keep going on the grid!

5:43 pm

jmcnrick

my ribs are texas style and therefore not sweet. . .but they sure are tasty. . . i may have to grill tomorrow night (I always buy extra ribs in the summer for winter barbeque)

5:44 pm

Nef

How big is it, jmc? My DH made a spice rack for me several years ago and it holds about 40 bottles of spices (which isn't enough now...)

5:44 pm

crosshair

mmmmmm

5:44 pm

crosshair

supposed to be 17c!!!!!! this sunday.may have to cook some up on the bbq

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

it is huge and holds all the weird spices i use once in a blue moon---42 by 50 inches

5:45 pm

Nef

Wow! Why so warm, crossy?

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

goodness a veritable heatwave crossy!

5:45 pm

crosshair

do not know nef.we have never had this in january

5:45 pm

Nef

jmc; that's even bigger than mine! I'd love to see it! :-D

5:45 pm

crosshair

last 3 years or so our winter have been nothing

5:46 pm

crosshair

we are losing tons of the perma frost north of the tree line as well and it is a heck of a mess

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

i also have some niches for some pretty glasses i own and the olive oil bottle. . . and random vinegars on the top. . .

5:47 pm

crosshair

lol sorry to interrupt your nifty new spice rack:)

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

well i am sorry to hear that crossy. . . that is bad news indeed. when i was in kenya there was hardly any snow on kilimanjara . . .we a all in deep shit

5:47 pm

Nef

2 years ago we got snowed in several times (and we live in town!); last year was terrible -too hot and no snow; this year started out with lots of snow but it's melting this week. (I hope we get more snow soon

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

not a problem i can carry on 2 or more conversations at a time

5:48 pm

crosshair

we are indeed jmc.when the permafrost melts,it created mudslides and sinkholes and the land becomes useless

5:49 pm

Nef

We use a wine bottle rack for our olive oils and balsamic vinegars. There's a specialty shop of oils and vinegars we love to go to and are big fans of both

5:50 pm

crosshair

shipping lanes are opening up north now that have never seen a vessel before and we fight with the russians,and we go into what was once pristine lands with oil supercarriers;(

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

how nice nef what a good idea. . . i have a drawer full of oils and sauces but like having the olive oil handy

5:50 pm

Nef

how far north of you is that crossy? It's scary how much of the polar ice caps we've lost in the past 10 years.

5:51 pm

stidgmere

I'm down to the 10 letter words. Don't know any 10 letter words. Impossible.

5:51 pm

Nef

stidg; an 10 is something that a priest does with oil

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

no they are actually fairly easy words stidgmere

5:52 pm

Nef

(I don't know the other one though)

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

and the other one is a really annoying person who picks a fight

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

and the 11 is the plural of the thing the priest does with oil

5:53 pm

stidgmere

This one was the person who is against you. Like Notre Dame vs. Alabama. Only they were not very much an****** whatever.

5:53 pm

stidgmere

Yes. Fired works.

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo stidgmere!

5:54 pm

stidgmere

Well. That was that. I must wander over and practice Gershwin's Prelude II which is very pretty and I figured out the crossed hands can be done without the fancyness.

5:54 pm

Nef

YAY, stidgmere!!!! WTG!!! (and in time to fix supper too! :-D

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

enjoy stidgmere. . . i will expect a recital the next time i am there

5:55 pm

6:14 pm

smores

brb

6:14 pm

Lizlin

face-palm????

6:15 pm

6:16 pm

welki

6:16 pm

Lizlin

Duh! Of course!

6:16 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...seeing a lot of 4's I haven't used for a while...

7:28 pm

MimiCat

Evening, all! Here's a funny demotivator for you--going to try to post a different daily. Imagine a picture of a grizzly bear standing at a waterfall with a salmon in his mouth. Caption: Ambition. Text: The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly.

7:29 pm

Dorens

hah! you haven't demotivated me yet, mimi. think of all the salmon who eluded said grizzly bear!

7:29 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...those motivational pix are getting rote...nice to see a different one!

7:30 pm

MimiCat

There are tons of these from despair.com. They have posters, calendars you can personalize and t-shirts. I just love the twisted nature of 'em.

7:31 pm

Jillyjill

really going to have to check it out!

7:31 pm

Jillyjill

really going to have to check it out!

7:31 pm

Jillyjill

really going to have to check it out!

7:32 pm

Jillyjill

I hate playing on this win8!

7:33 pm

MimiCat

I'm sure you'll love it, Jilly. They have a t-shirt I plan to order that simply says "Vintage" on it. Truth in advertising!

7:33 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...we're in the grid...ma6/7

7:34 pm

MimiCat

Whoa! The other day a guy referred to me as "miss" instead of "ma'am" and I almost kissed him!

7:37 pm

MimiCat

I'm in severe denial....

7:37 pm

Jillyjill

I'm so dang tired of "Sweetie"

7:38 pm

MimiCat

Somehow I never get called that---could it be a Montana thing or just a comment on my personality?!!

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

and then there's "dearie" and "honey"

7:41 pm

MollyL

<---Hates Windows 8

7:42 pm

MimiCat

Nope, don't get those either. Gee....it MUST be ME!!

7:42 pm

MimiCat

Why, Molly?

7:44 pm

Jillyjill

Yep...me too molly...can operate it but keeps not communicating with router

7:45 pm

MimiCat

Good to know---think I'll stick with 7.

7:45 pm

MollyL

Jill, I don't think it's Windows 8 that isn't communicating. It has to be that your device and the router are not communicating.

7:47 pm

MimiCat

Going to go have dinner. See you tomorrow. ((Jilly))

7:48 pm

Nef

Hi again. Just back after eating. How is everyone today?

MollyL

Cool Nef. You should eat more often. : D

8:02 pm

Nef

LOL! No; Molly; I think I'm heavy enough. I was here before supper and couldn't see any words at all. Now I just found about 10 in a row; but am going to use Lickety now so I finish

8:13 pm

Good evening sue.

8:13 pm

uusue2

8:13 pm

Nef

8:13 pm

Nef

very true, peach; very true. :-)

8:13 pm

uusue2

8:15 pm

dan2bit

evening uu and all!

8:15 pm

uusue2

hi dan!

8:15 pm

Nef

WOW! That's wonderful!!! I actually took my DH to a meetingfor lunch today; retired federal employee meeting; at Old Country Buffet. He only choked once. :-/

8:16 pm

uusue2

sounds like progress, nef!

8:16 pm

gapeach

Evening, dan.

8:16 pm

Nef

hi dan2.

8:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, nbt for me, gotta throw some food in the oven, back in a bit

8:17 pm

Nef

hi Gwen

8:17 pm

uusue2

hi and bye, gwen!

8:18 pm

Nef

It is progress, sue. He actually told me he learned that he has to pay attention to his eating and swallowing; so that is a big step for him!

8:19 pm

uusue2

sounds good, nef!

8:19 pm

gapeach

brb

8:20 pm

Nef

I take it that Frank is tolerating chemo so far?

8:21 pm

uusue2

so far so good, nef! He's tired but otherwise doing well.

8:22 pm

Nef

wonderful! He's on my "prayer list" each day.

8:22 pm

uusue2

thanks, nef! We are getting prayers and energy from all over the globe - it is quite wonderful :-)

8:23 pm

Nef

it is; isn't it?

8:23 pm

MollyL

Sue, how are you doing? Didn't you have some health issues of your own?

8:24 pm

uusue2

hi Molly, I am having some trouble with my neck (which is causing arm and chest pain) but physical therapy seems to be helping

8:24 pm

Nef

her shoulder/neck, Molly

8:24 pm

uusue2

I'm also having some issues with my blood pressure but have found the right level of medication that seems to have it under control

8:25 pm

MollyL

Good Sue, glad to hear things are better for you.

8:25 pm

Nef

do you meditate, sue? It really helps lower BP if you can meditate at least 15 minutes a day too.

8:26 pm

uusue2

I have done in the past, nef, probably it would be a good idea again

8:26 pm

Nef

(I know, who has time; right? I always try to get up early to do it and end up falling asleep! :-/

8:26 pm

MollyL

And if 15 minutes seems too long at first, try three sessions of five minutes. Nef is right, it's good for your whole body.

8:27 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of guided meditations on line if you need help easing back into it.

8:29 pm

Nef

never thought of that, Molly. I may try it and see if it helps me stay awake!

8:29 pm

uusue2

there are some people in my UU church who get together for a weekly meditation; I went a few times but then got too busy (excuses, I know!)

8:31 pm

uusue2

ha, got some long words, nbs!

8:32 pm

Nef

sometimes I think it's hard to get away to do things; try it at home and see if that helpstoo.

8:32 pm

Nef

WTG, sue!

8:34 pm

dan2bit

got to 100 - think I shall li4

8:34 pm

uusue2

good idea, dan!

8:35 pm

Nef

it's worth it, dan2. I couldn't get past 97 until I did.

8:40 pm

MollyL

I have a friend who says that if you are too busy to meditate, it's a good sign that you need to meditate more. : )

8:40 pm

uusue2

you are probably right, Molly!

8:40 pm

Nef

Ooh!! Good thought!

8:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi again, chickies are a bakin'

8:47 pm

9:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:25 pm

Nef

9:35 pm

stidmama

not bad, Nef, you?

9:35 pm

Bugsaw

hello everyone

9:35 pm

Bugsaw

YAY Nef

9:36 pm

stidmama

hey bugs

9:36 pm

Bugsaw

did you teach today stid?

9:37 pm

stidmama

yep. 7th in the morning and 4th in the afternoon. A good day...

9:38 pm

Nef

doing okay, stid. I even took DH to a retired Federal employees mtg at Old Country Buffet today; his first "social" outing since surgery

9:38 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad you are getting the days you need to enjoy it and still have time to rest

9:38 pm

stidmama

how did that go, Nef? I bet he was glad to get out.

9:38 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't mind a few more "multi-day" assignments, Bugs, but yes I am getting "enough" in general.

9:39 pm

Bugsaw

it snowed here today and I was so glad that I wasn't at school where the kids lose their minds hoping to get sent home early

9:39 pm

Nef

I'm glad you had the younger class in the afternoon, I'd imagine that middle school kids can get more rambunctious then

9:39 pm

stidmama

Just wish I were a little more popular with the local school. I get a LOT more calls from the ones an hour away...

9:39 pm

Bugsaw

you might notice that teachers don't need as many days off just after Christmas and Spring breaks.

9:40 pm

stidmama

actually glad you pointed that out, bugs... I was wondering why the pickings are so slim this week! LOL

9:40 pm

Nef

he choked once, but learned a lesson (he told me): that he has to pay attention to eating and swallowing! He did well other than that one time.

9:41 pm

Bugsaw

yes, they have had a little rest and are not so rundown. it doesn't last tho

poor DH Nef. Choking is scary

9:41 pm

stidmama

glad it was only once!

9:42 pm

Nef

*I* was scared; he was surprised.

9:43 pm

stidmama

well, maybe this will encourage him to pay attention when he is doing his exercises!

9:43 pm

Nef

I was worried I'd have to do the Heimlic maneuver in front of an audience!

9:44 pm

stidmama

oooooooh. My fav babblet is in the grid...

9:44 pm

stidmama

brb, must find that icon again.

9:44 pm

Nef

I hope so; but that's connecting too many dots I think.

9:44 pm

dan2bit

i think any time ma6/36 is in the grid, it should turn to glowing green letters on black tiles

9:46 pm

Nef

very true, dan2! :-)

9:46 pm

dan2bit

also can I have a clue for the 2nd an10 ?

9:46 pm

stidmama

okay, let's see if this worked...

9:47 pm

stidmama

hm... *thinking about big-number words*

9:49 pm

stidmama

NBT...

9:49 pm

Nef

dang! I was cluing the an 10's and my computer crashed!

9:50 pm

stidmama

not good, net!

9:50 pm

Nef

an 10/84 is an adversory or opponent

9:50 pm

stidmama

TENS?????? *faint*

9:50 pm

stidmama

thanks for that one...

9:51 pm

dan2bit

ty Nef - that's firewords

9:51 pm

stidmama

YAY dan!

9:51 pm

Nef

they aren't that hard or weird, stid. the an 10/11 is something a priest does (and pl) with oils

9:51 pm

dan2bit

the 8+ letter words are all actually very normal. Some of the 7's on the other hand...

9:51 pm

stidmama

oh! THAT ma 6/36! *facepalm*

9:51 pm

Nef

YAY, dan2bit!!! WTG!!!

9:52 pm

Nef

what did you think he meant, stid?

9:53 pm

Nef

(I can't see your icon as it's too small and it hasn't flipped in your profile yet)

9:53 pm

stidmama

I had NO idea, Nef, because I didn't have the word yet...

9:53 pm

stidmama

oh, go here: http://www.strangewonderfulthings.com/\ntips140-seeds.htm

9:55 pm

Nef

wow! So that's what that word means! I sort of knew it was a plant; but that's gorgeous

9:56 pm

herinfernallady

hi

9:57 pm

Nef

when crossy said something earlier about the ma 6; I thought he was talking about the other ma 6 (and it didn't make much sense at the time to me)

9:57 pm

Nef

hi herin

9:57 pm

herinfernallady

howdy

9:57 pm

stidmama

hey lady!

9:58 pm

Nef

how are you tonight?

9:58 pm

herinfernallady

I need a hard slap for typing onion and union and unionist into here

9:58 pm

herinfernallady

BOUNCE Hello

9:58 pm

stidmama

yes, there are many different colors of them, this turquoise one just seems to sing to me!

9:59 pm

Nef

LOL, herin! I couldn't find the simplest words today; when I was down to my last 6; 5 were 4 letter words

9:59 pm

stidmama

down to 45 now, need an eyeball break. back in a few .

10:00 pm

herinfernallady

O look I just found that STUPID mountain

10:00 pm

herinfernallady

and its not there. See I am tired

10:01 pm

herinfernallady

Loves Stid

10:01 pm

herinfernallady

Well I got instant Karma today

10:02 pm

Nef

it's a gorgeous flower, stid. Not sure it would survive my care, though (I just killed off my 5 year old Christmas cactus and a shamrock plant by over watering) :-(

10:02 pm

Bugsaw

how so herein?

10:02 pm

Nef

what happened, herin?

10:03 pm

herinfernallady

As it has been Christmas my neighbours across the roads tiny garbage bin was over flowing. Our neighbours that we share a bin with are away so I went across the road and emptied some of theirs into ours and told them our bin was free this week. I get to the bus stop free bus because the ticket machine system wasn't working

10:04 pm

Bugsaw

instant karma is SO nice

10:05 pm

Nef

very nice, herin! :-)

10:05 pm

herinfernallady

The neighbours little boy who is about 3 or 4 is so adorable. Loves to help himself to our house and cats when they are on our side of the road

10:06 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

10:06 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Liz

10:07 pm

MollyL

Friendly reminder: Pasting urls in the chat log makes it blow it's width. Using tiny url works better. : )

10:07 pm

Lizlin

Keeping cool I hope, herin :)

10:07 pm

herinfernallady

I am in long shorts and 3/4 shirt. SO it isn't insane o hot today

10:08 pm

Lizlin

It sounded horrendous over the past few days

10:08 pm

Bugsaw

herein I just heard on the radio that a whole town on Tasmania has been burned out. how horrible

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

Yep Bugs a couple of little communities have lost everything.

10:09 pm

Lizlin

But no loss of life, so far I think, which is the most important thing.

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

My parents live there and thankfully it is no where near them. They even see smoke they leave. The evacuation kit is still ready to go.

10:10 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad to hear that. they just kind of tossed out that fact while talking about the heat you are having

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

Friday was hairy and I had watched their fire service website on and off all day just to be sure.

10:10 pm

Lizlin

I'm glad they don't try to be heroic. Better to be a coward in those conditions.

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

Bugs - http://www.themercury.com.au/ This is the Tas local paper.

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

Liz were my parents live the firefighters have pretty much told them - get out when you see smoke as you are on your own.

10:11 pm

Bugsaw

checking it now thanks

10:12 pm

herinfernallady

Also another huge issue is down at Port Arthur were people went to is their cars are stuck there because they were ferried out back to town.

10:12 pm

Lizlin

I just remember stories from black Saturday - I'd not been here too long. I understand people wanting to protect property but life is more important.

10:13 pm

Nef

thanks, herin for posting that.

10:13 pm

herinfernallady

No worries.

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

Liz kind of used to it when we lived in the Blue Mountains and nearly lost the house in the fires in 1980

10:14 pm

Lizlin

Must've been scary. My hubby was in Victoria on Ash Wednesday and we were talking about the fires that were close to him then.

10:17 pm

herinfernallady

I was about 3 and I remember very clearly the fire man coming to the house and telling dad to leave as there was a grass fire that the train brakes caused. Turned into a bush fire. I remember Dad stuffing tennis balls into the gutter down pipes and filling the gutters with water. We then left and went to the 'city'. The wind changed and the back wall needed repainting. The poor fireman that lived next door lost everything. I remember this like yesterday even though I was about 3

10:18 pm

Lizlin

I can understand why! These things leave a lasting impression.

10:19 pm

herinfernallady

My mother can't remember but I can.

10:19 pm

herinfernallady

I think we lost the outback dunny in the first fires just before I was born.

10:20 pm

Lizlin

Well I hope you and your family (and everyone else of course) stay safe and that things calm down pretty quickly.

10:20 pm

Bugsaw

I never would have thot to fill the gutters with water. pretty clever

10:21 pm

Lizlin

Cleverer still to block the drainpipes with tennis balls

10:21 pm

Lizlin

I guess if you live here, you get to learn all sorts of tricks to help in these circumstances.

10:22 pm

Lizlin

5 left!

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

I find it amusing when people say 'O I have to make up a kit for emergencies" when I have one already in my head like a constant file.

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Bugs your in Canada yes?

10:23 pm

Bugsaw

yes. on the west coast. it is a rain forest so fires are not our concern but earthquakes are

10:24 pm

Bugsaw

we are waiting for The Big One.

10:24 pm

herinfernallady

Do you get horrid snow ins?

10:25 pm

Bugsaw

not where I live. it is beautiful. the snow falls on the mountains behind us but usually does not last long down here near the ocean

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

10:26 pm

Lizlin

Hi jmc :)

10:26 pm

Bugsaw

hi jmc

10:26 pm

stidmama

hey again all

10:26 pm

Lizlin

Hi stid :)

10:26 pm

Bugsaw

and stid!

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Because I was going to suggest to keep a car baby bottle warmer in the car and some small baby bottles and food in a small bag for emergency snow stops or over on Think Geek they have a coffee cup car charger.

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

Hi JM and Liz

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

sorry to here it is fire season down under again

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

i love think geek

10:28 pm

herinfernallady

JM praying it isn't as bad in the next few weeks.

10:28 pm

stidmama

Lady, most of us in the PacNW (pacific northwest) and BC keep chains in the car, gloves, blankets, extra water, granola bars... I carry games, towels, shovel as well.

10:29 pm

Bugsaw

I keep a candle in the car because it will keep the car warm without killing me if I am ever trapped. I have games and shovel and food but towels are a good idea stid

10:29 pm

stidmama

even down by the water like Bugs and us we know that if snow doesn't get us, other hazards might. Earthquake and landslide hazard prep is very much like snow prep!

10:29 pm

herinfernallady

My g.f and I saw the baby bottle warmer for the car and exclaimed 'Constant warm coffee YAH'. Which led to my thought of using it for warming food like soups.

10:29 pm

stidmama

never thought of candles, but I have a few extra chemical handwarmers, just in case.

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

i have a kit of critical papers in a cabinet by the front door to grab if i ever have to run for it and a hand crank flashlight in the car

10:30 pm

stidmama

Generally speaking, I travel on well-maintained and well-traveled roads so even if something happens I probably don't have to wait too long for help.

10:30 pm

Bugsaw

do you guys have an earthquake kit stid? I have all the elements but am afraid to put them all in one place in case that is the one place that gets crushed.

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

JM I saw this and if I lived in the States it would be in my car - http://tinyurl.com/aas22vw

10:30 pm

stidmama

My great-great aunt had a small metal filing case by the back door for just the same way.

10:31 pm

Nef

I'm popping in and out now and just read what you guys put in your cars for emergencies. Here in MN we have space blankets, 3 cans (1 inside the other: one to pee in, 1 for the candle and 1 to melt snow in); toilet paper; warm clothes, shovel; maybe some sand; and some hard candy too.

10:32 pm

stidmama

Well, I don't have a "kit" but we have some things in the cars, some in the wellhouse, some in the house. Our home is single-story so even in a big shake we can probably get in to grab supplies. Have to hope so, the generator attaches to the house, and then sends power to the well. If the house goes, we'll have to hike to Mother's.

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

Did you see that couple that had everything in a fire safe safe in Queens that survived the fire after Sandy?

10:32 pm

Lizlin

fireworks! Silly last word! un 6 / 24

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

i have an inverter in my car. . .just not shaped like a coffee cup

10:32 pm

stidmama

Never thought of three cans, Nef. Will have to consider this.

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

Have you seen the cans from Japan that self heat?

10:33 pm

stidmama

Inverters are good to have too, jmc. We have one in each car (tom and his "gadgets")

10:33 pm

jmcnrick

i also have an emergency book in my car to read. . . more likely to get stuck waiting for a tow truck than anything else

10:33 pm

herinfernallady

How is this for a lovely spirit - http://tinyurl.com/aavuozo

10:33 pm

stidmama

YAY liz!

10:34 pm

stidmama

I am sorry for the fires out your way, liz and lady

10:34 pm

Bugsaw

YAY Lizlinn.

10:34 pm

stidmama

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

Its summer we get Fires.

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

YAH Liz

10:35 pm

Lizlin

I'm really lucky - not a real threat at this time of year in Queensland. Sub-tropical. This should be the rainy season for us but it's been pretty dry here.

10:35 pm

Bugsaw

lovely lady herein

10:36 pm

stidmama

well, I hope you get some nice rains, lady -- but glad you are generally safe from fires

10:36 pm

jmcnrick

nice story herin

10:36 pm

Nef

stid, if it's 40 below zero; you don't want to step out of the car to answer Natures call; you'd freeze your tush.

10:37 pm

Lizlin

My lovely hubby went out to get fruit and petrol and came back with flowers! How lucky am I?

10:37 pm

jmcnrick

my tush would not be the body for which i would worry

10:37 pm

jmcnrick

nice liz

10:37 pm

Lizlin

Lovely story in that link heron :)

10:37 pm

Lizlin

herin :) sorry - auto correct

10:37 pm

herinfernallady

The biggest problem with Tasmania is they are not on natural gas and require electricity which means generators and generators to pump the petrol.

10:37 pm

stidmama

very nice, liz! did he get the fruit and petrol? *curious mama grin*

10:38 pm

Lizlin

Yes - those too!

10:38 pm

herinfernallady

My parents will have to pay for water soon as they are running out.

10:38 pm

stidmama

well, stuck at 35 time to li4

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

10:40 pm

jmcnrick
