Babble shows up in Internet Explorer although I use Firefox. In the Lickety space I'm getting "This program cannot read this webpage format" and says I can Go back to the previous page (??? -- what previous page?) and offers More information, which I guess I have to try. What do you think?

12:19 am

cosdem

Hmm. ill check it on firefox one sec

12:19 am

dcseain

I think the new version of IE is not compatible with the internet.

12:19 am

Uneaixoise

12:19 am

Lizlin

Tear hair out time, Jilli. No help I'm afraid. I'm a Mac user!

12:19 am

cosdem

it works for me on firefox Jill

12:20 am

torgone

lol seain ..

12:20 am

dcseain

works in Chrome, too

12:20 am

Erda

I can not get Lickety's list since I went Windows 7. The next morning -- yes. It's a date thing...

12:21 am

cosdem

H's done

12:21 am

jillibus

The "More information says "This error (HTTP 406 Not Acceptable) means that this program was able to receive information from the website you visited, but the information was not in a format that it can display." I wonder if Lickety has the answer -- or Dr God.

12:22 am

jillibus

How can I get Babble Expert out of IE and into Firefox?

12:22 am

jillibus

It just automatically went into IE -- I didn't choose it.

12:22 am

cosdem

Babble expert is tied to IE for me and the list is there for me

12:23 am

cosdem

I hate it. I want it to use Firefox becase it takes forever to load if I use IE

12:23 am

jillibus

Same here, cos

12:23 am

Erda

Yesterday, I also got a blank Babble page and this message in the middle: "Floating point division by zero." Lickety wanted a screen shot, but it didn't work.

12:24 am

jillibus

It's so weird -- when I enter words I get the green signal.

12:25 am

jillibus

Erda, the Babble page is there -- just the Lickety clues section is blank

12:25 am

rururocks

3:17 am

smores

We had a few show up last year...but my cat took care of them :)

3:17 am

rubyfoo

it dÃ©pends how you feel about rodents. We have a family of long-haired mice living Under the bird feeder and they are very cute and fat (from all the suflower seeds)

3:18 am

rubyfoo

one of them is about the size of a rat, but bright Brown and very cute

3:18 am

Alexis Elise

Rodents can be cute... from a distance

3:18 am

rubyfoo

Alexis Elise

Your kitty sounds adorable, Smores

smores

yes, but also a pain in the butt...lol

3:21 am

rubyfoo

we have a neighborhood cat who hangs out near the feeder, too, but she doesn't come very close because of buster

3:22 am

smores

buster?

3:23 am

rubyfoo

Mr. Enormous Rufie who, at 14 months weighs about 75 lbs

3:23 am

3:26 am

smores

3:26 am

rubyfoo

either that or he'll think she's a toy and grab her by the eck (I don't think so)

3:26 am

smores

eekk....I certainly hope not

3:27 am

rubyfoo

we are planning to be very careful when introducing them

3:27 am

rubyfoo

and I think, having been in a litter with 4 boys she'll be pretty tough and sturdy

3:27 am

smores

yes, that's very wise...but I'm sure they will soon be best of friends.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

husband will stay home with him while I go to fetch the pup

3:28 am

Alexis Elise

Introducing cats to each other is always fun.

3:29 am

rubyfoo

3:29 am

smores

Alexis Elise

I put the old one in a room with the door shut and let the little one check out the house. Then they smell each other through the door and get a little used to each other. Works pretty well.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I have a feeling tht Rafie will be in charge after a few months. Female chows are much tougher than the male

3:30 am

Alexis Elise

Aren't chows mean?

3:30 am

smores

good plan Alexis

3:30 am

rubyfoo

when people breed the, the females have to be muzzled or they would hurt or maim the males, even though the males are bigger

3:31 am

rubyfoo

we've had six and they've all been exceptionally gentle just protective of me.

3:31 am

Alexis Elise

My friend had a chow but then she had a baby and the chow hated the baby

3:32 am

rubyfoo

none of them has even bitten anybody and Ruby, once she got old, showed her teeth once or twice

3:32 am

Alexis Elise

They had to give away the dog because they thought it would hurt their baby

3:32 am

rubyfoo

ever*

3:32 am

rubyfoo

that's scary

3:32 am

smores

the cat I used to have was very jealous when Phylicia was born.

3:32 am

Alexis Elise

I told her she should have given away the baby

3:33 am

Alexis Elise

Keep the dog

3:33 am

rubyfoo

these dogs, especially the males, are very mellow

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I was thinking that, too, alexis, but didn't dare say so

3:33 am

smores

LOL...Alexis

3:34 am

smores

shame on you both :)

3:34 am

Alexis Elise

I always say so... but I am anti-children. It is expected of me :)

3:34 am

rubyfoo

(bad nel)

3:34 am

smores

lol

3:35 am

rubyfoo

yoou must be my DIL but Under a pseudonym

3:35 am

rubyfoo

ona

3:36 am

Alexis Elise

No. It's just growing in popularity.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I feel bad for my son, but, as the French would say, it's not my onions.

3:37 am

Alexis Elise

I would never date someone that wants kids. That would be a huge conflict of interest.

3:38 am

smores

I take it he wants kids?

3:38 am

rubyfoo

he et the issue go a long time ago and they are very happy together

3:38 am

rubyfoo

they've been together about 18 years

3:39 am

smores

That's good

3:40 am

smores

I always loved kids, but said I would never have any

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I was happy with having one; I fell in love with him the 1st time he kicked

3:41 am

smores

I waited until I was 35...very glad I changed my mind :)

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I was only 19 and had been married just 6 month when I got pregs

3:41 am

rubyfoo

what a surprise!

3:42 am

smores

:)

3:42 am

rubyfoo

my mother was 35 when I was born and she was my BFF!!!!

3:42 am

rubyfoo

hadn't even finished university

3:42 am

Alexis Elise

I've said I don't want kids since I was a kid. People always said, "Wait til you get older." I'm 35... still never had the desire to have kids.

3:43 am

smores

lol...

3:43 am

rubyfoo

DIL comes from a very large, poor family and made the decision early

3:44 am

Alexis Elise

I feel sorry for my friends with kids. I always have. It just looks awful to me.

3:44 am

smores

really?

3:45 am

rubyfoo

I was happy with my choice and feel happy with son's, as well

3:45 am

Alexis Elise

I babysat for my friend for an hour recently. Felt like I was in prison.

3:45 am

smores

LOL

3:45 am

rubyfoo

he has a double career which wouldn't be possible wih kids (or even a dog|)

3:46 am

Alexis Elise

And she never sleeps or has time for herself. Can't work or do anything she wants.

3:46 am

Alexis Elise

I just don't see the appeal

3:46 am

smores

They are a handful....

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I was very Lucky with my son as he was an angel-baby. Looked like one (blonde and blue-eyed) ad slept through the night at one week

3:47 am

smores

But I'm glad I changed my mind. Different strokes as the say

3:47 am

Alexis Elise

Yes. It certainly isn't for everyone.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

This computer capitalizes when it feels like: words like Lucky, Under, etc. What is it thinking? LOL

3:48 am

Alexis Elise

Should be some IQ requirements for reproduction. Some sort of licensing.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

coran

3:49 am

rubyfoo

speaking of IQ -- not a word

3:50 am

smores

At least you know that...so many people, especially very young, can't wait to have kids.

3:51 am

Alexis Elise

My friend from school was pregnant at 13

3:51 am

Alexis Elise

She has 7 kids now and she's my age

3:51 am

smores

They think aww...they're so cute and want to dress them up...then reality kicks in.

3:51 am

smores

EEkkk..wow

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I was Lucky all around -- ws able to finish school and go on to have a couple of splendid careers and wound up here, retired with dogs and a garden. How bad is that|?

3:52 am

Alexis Elise

Not bad at all

3:52 am

smores

Wonderful Ruby :)

3:52 am

rubyfoo

7 kids is too many unless you're very wealthy and have help

3:52 am

Alexis Elise

But when you think about it... it used to be that way.

3:52 am

Alexis Elise

My grandma was 14 when she married my grandpa.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

It used to be that wasy, but many of the children didn't survive

3:53 am

smores

Yes, I'm the youngest of 8

3:53 am

rubyfoo

the youngest is always the shwweetest, smores, like you!

3:53 am

Alexis Elise

There's 8 in my dad's family. 5 of them were born at home

3:53 am

smores

lol...

3:54 am

smores

My oldest brother and sister were born at home.

3:54 am

Alexis Elise

One girl and 7 little brothers... I can't imagine how she survived!

3:54 am

rubyfoo

My closest friend is one of 12, two sets of twins and one set of triplets, but they had lots of money and her mother, at almost 90, still plays golf etc.

3:55 am

Alexis Elise

Wow. I can't imagine having so many siblings

3:55 am

smores

Wow...lucky she was the oldest

3:55 am

Alexis Elise

I actually can't imagine sharing my mom with a sister. I'm so glad I don't have a sister.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

and they have one reunion a year in some exotic place

3:55 am

smores

That's wonderful Ruby

3:55 am

smores

LOL..only child heh?

3:56 am

Alexis Elise

I have a brother

3:56 am

smores

:)

3:56 am

rubyfoo

My first husband was an only child, my son is one, my sister's husband is one and she had one. Only sons, pffftr!

3:57 am

smores

2 girls for me

3:57 am

rubyfoo

2 girls is perfect

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I would have lijked to have a daughter, but my first marriage fell apart

3:58 am

smores

Mine too...

3:58 am

Alexis Elise

Mine too

3:59 am

smores

lol

3:59 am

rubyfoo

and my whole life would have een different without the ability to change jobs, careers, etc.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

19 is too Young to marry

3:59 am

smores

mmm...not that divorce is funny..but

3:59 am

Alexis Elise

23 is too young to marry, too

4:00 am

smores

Hell I waited til I was 30

4:00 am

rubyfoo

and this husband has 3 kids from his first marriage (only sees 2 of them), 5 grandchildren (none of whome he sees), 2 greats (no interest) and 3 ex-wives.

4:00 am

smores

4:00 am

Alexis Elise

Damn, smores

Alexis Elise

3 ex-wives, Ruby!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

Bluebeard

4:01 am

smores

4:02 am

Alexis Elise

My boyfriend has a couple kids from his first marriage. I can tolerate them because they're not little.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I've kept his Relationship alive with his eldest, sending her plane tickets once or twice a year

4:02 am

Alexis Elise

And they live in another state

4:02 am

smores

4:03 am

rubyfoo

she has a daughter and two grands

4:03 am

smores

So do they spend the summer Alexis?

4:03 am

rubyfoo

but he has no interest and not much in her, either

4:03 am

smores

Wow

4:04 am

Alexis Elise

They come occasionally, but not the whole summer

4:04 am

Alexis Elise

They're actually coming tomorrow but just for a few days

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I just keep on keeping on, doing one thing at a time and trying to keep the house organized

4:04 am

smores

Spring break?

4:05 am

smores

6:56 am

MollyL

Oh you know, what one person finds easy, another finds difficult. Which is why this is a fun game for a lot of different people.

6:56 am

lbdawger

of course these last 17 may be the ones that make me scream.

6:56 am

car.eeyore

Hi Molly!

6:56 am

lbdawger

hi Molly

6:56 am

car.eeyore

Is the eeyore icon up? I am still seeing my weemee.

6:56 am

*grins* I hear ya, dawg!

6:56 am

smores

6:57 am

MollyL

Yes. HOORAY for Eeyore!!

6:57 am

smores

teehee...I meant last...but...

6:57 am

rubyfoo

when I was on this AM I said that Sprite would probably call this "easy peasy" NOY!

6:57 am

sprite

I see your sweet eeyore

6:57 am

rubyfoo

or even NOT

6:57 am

smores

Hi again ruby :)

6:57 am

sprite

hiya ruby. Will tell you so4. So far so good.

6:57 am

MollyL

Ruby, Sprite calls them all easy peasy. : D

6:57 am

car.eeyore

LOL! My computer does this all the time. I change the icon, but it still shows the old one. No matter how many times I refresh / log in it is still the old one.

6:58 am

car.eeyore

Enjoy the Eeyore Easter Love!

6:58 am

rubyfoo

we have the first sunshine in months but I've been told it wob;t ;ast, even 'til Sunday

6:58 am

smores

mine too car...usually the next day it shows

6:58 am

sprite

actually, I don't :P Just when they are.

6:58 am

MollyL

Then get out there and soak it up, Ruby.

6:58 am

rubyfoo

6:58 am

car.eeyore

I changed it yesterday.

6:58 am

lbdawger

hiya ruby!

6:58 am

car.eeyore

Enjoy, ruby!

6:59 am

rubyfoo

it's sunny but not warm

6:59 am

rubyfoo

but at least we can see the lake

6:59 am

smores

well so much for that theory car. :)

6:59 am

lbdawger

we have sun and no warmth too. so i sit near a window and soak up the heat that way.

7:00 am

smores

same here...it did manage to get up to 42 yesterday

7:00 am

rubyfoo

can we get vitamin D that way?

7:01 am

sprite

no, not through glass, as far as I know. Outdoors seems to be needed. We will have to wait until temps go up a bit, ruby. Still SO cold here!

7:02 am

rubyfoo

I will be so happy when (if) this winter ends

7:02 am

lbdawger

agree with sprite. probably not, but it feels nice.

7:03 am

sprite

absolutely, dawg. And soaking up warmth is good for us too, we need more than just vitD

7:04 am

lbdawger

it certainly helps the attitude.

7:05 am

rubyfoo

and we should have daffodils by next week and the primroses are out in the bottom garden

7:05 am

sprite

sure does.

7:05 am

MollyL

Ruby, you don't get the same effect (Vitamin D wise) from sun through the window. But it does improve your mood.

7:06 am

rubyfoo

I need all the vitamin D I can get!

7:06 am

rubyfoo

does boiling the vitamin D milk remove the vitamin?

7:07 am

car.eeyore

Ruby, if you truly need the Vitamin D, you should take a supplement.

7:07 am

smores

yep...that's where the cats always lay in window

7:07 am

MollyL

Actually, during the winter months, in many places, it's hard to absorb the Vitamin D effects from the sun because the sun never gets high enough in the sky for its ultraviolet B rays to penetrate the atmosphere.

7:07 am

smores

not sure ruby?

7:07 am

car.eeyore

..especially during the winter months.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

I don't take vitamins.....

7:07 am

rubyfoo

I drink a lot of vit D enriched milk

7:07 am

sprite

my smart little dog does the same thing. Am happy for him. Sometimes at the end of the day, there is sun on my couch :)

7:08 am

MollyL

I take Vitamin D supplements all year long, but feel absolutely no difference from it.

7:08 am

smores

True Molly

7:08 am

rubyfoo

but you are a youngster, molly

7:08 am

sprite

ever since Scrabs told us about how important vit D is for our health and how most of us have a shortage, I take additional vit D.

7:08 am

smores

Same here ruby, I drink lots of milk and eat yogurt every day

7:08 am

car.eeyore

You probably don't feel a difference because your level is good. It is when it is very low or depleted that you will feel bad.

7:09 am

rubyfoo

I read that taking calcium supplÃ©ments is actually bad for your heart

7:09 am

MollyL

It's unfortunate that the most sun exposure some people get is walking to and from their cars.

7:09 am

sprite

I can feel the difference if I stop taking it.

7:09 am

smores

I do also take a multivitamin

7:10 am

sprite

yeah. I hate walking to my car. I think I will ride my bike to the car in future.

7:10 am

rubyfoo

the only time I ever took vitamins was when I was pregs

7:10 am

MollyL

I was actually very low when I got tested and was put on the maximum dosage at first, and felt no difference.

7:10 am

car.eeyore

I take a daily vitamin, vitamin B complex, calcium, along with my other meds.

7:10 am

sprite

I take vit D and omega 3. And something with a long name for my joints.

7:10 am

smores

Agreed, that's why it was never a big issue in the past, people did more outside

7:10 am

car.eeyore

glucosamine and chondroitin

7:11 am

Hello Lizlin!

7:14 am

MollyL

Car, I read something cute the other day. The best thing to do on a diet is avoid the "five white sins". Pasta, rice, bread, potatoes and full fat dairy. : D

7:14 am

car.eeyore

Good advice!

7:15 am

car.eeyore

I derailed during my birthday weekend and have not gotten back on track. Last night I spent the night suffering with my old esophageal reflux issues and still feel the "fist in my back" this morning. Warning taken! Back on track today!

7:15 am

lbdawger

hehehe, ty sprite. although i first read it as NASCAR rofl

7:15 am

MollyL

Which basically means fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy and lean meat, which are the staples of almost every diet.

7:16 am

Apparently the ALT + 13 no4 thing does not work for many people .Not at all for Mac users, and not for some PC users either. Don't know why. â™ª it works for me.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

good morning, Bea

7:47 am

Mom

((Annie)) good morning, Happy Passover

7:48 am

Anniebrook

I have a problem..Im on Babble Expert and when I open Lickety's clue this is what I read--"this program cannot read this webpage format"...any solutions

7:48 am

MollyL

Wow Annie, TO was having similar problems last night. I thought it was just her computer.

7:48 am

Mom

oh Annie, I wish I could help. Not a clue as to how to fix that

7:48 am

KatieMcG

I've got the same annie

7:49 am

Mom

hello Katie

7:49 am

gramma

Annie, I had the same problem. I copied it and opened it in google.

7:49 am

Mom

hello gramma

7:49 am

MollyL

How do you open something in Google?

7:50 am

Anniebrook

gramma, did you open BabbleExpert in google? How?

7:50 am

gramma

I have 1 left. It's a silly 4 letter word and for the life of me I can't find it.

7:50 am

gramma

I couldn't open Expert in google. I opened Lickety that way

7:50 am

Anniebrook

Hello again to all

7:51 am

Mom

wouldn't you copy the web address and go to google and past it?

7:51 am

MollyL

Paste it where? Google is a web browser.

7:51 am

Anniebrook

gramma, how did you open Lickety in google?

7:51 am

Mom

((Annie)) good morning, Happy Passover. Sorry you are having these issues

7:52 am

Mom

I must scoot. Lots to do today. ((Hugs)) to all of you. See you tomorrow

7:52 am

Anniebrook

((Mom)) thanks for your Passover greeting.

7:52 am

gramma

Right click Lickety's hit save target as. Then open google and paste it.

7:52 am

MollyL

Have a good day Mom.

7:52 am

Mom

you're welcome, Annie

7:52 am

Mom

thanks Molly, I wish you the same.

7:53 am

BzznBea

Bye, Mom.

7:53 am

Anniebrook

gramma, I dont know how to do that. What would I cllick on--there is nothing there.

7:53 am

Mom

bye bye Bzzz

7:53 am

Anniebrook

bye Bea

7:54 am

MollyL

"Save target as" is not an option when I right click.

7:54 am

MollyL

And yes Annie, if it won't open, you would have nothing to click on.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Molly, do you have Lickety's list?

7:55 am

gramma

At the bottom of this page under Friends of Babble in the 2nd column at the top it says Lickety's Babble Clues. Right click on that and what are your options?

7:55 am

lbdawger

must be off for now. hagd everyone. may bbl to visit.

7:55 am

MollyL

I would suggest that someone email Lickety. If this many people are having a problem, there must be something wrong.

7:55 am

BzznBea

Could it be an isue with the browser they are using?

7:56 am

gramma

I just recently started experiencing this.

7:57 am

zoozzoom

Hello, All :-)

7:57 am

MollyL

Bea you have a point. If anyone is using Internet Explorer, I would suggest another browser.

7:57 am

gramma

So4? If I could find it I would finish so**. Before the so** settles. Clue, please?

7:57 am

gramma

Hi zoozzoom

7:58 am

MollyL

Gramma, are you talking about Google Chrome? Google Chrome and Google are two different things.

7:58 am

gramma

NM. I had it in the wrong place.

7:58 am

gramma

Sorry Google Chrome

7:59 am

BzznBea

Morning, zooz.

7:59 am

BzznBea

Must bzz...Working on Baby's quilt today.

7:59 am

BzznBea

Pfft!

8:00 am

gramma

Molly, can you get it?

8:03 am

lynxxx

Hello. Just came on and saw there are issues...Lickety does know about the problem but didn't have time to check out what was causing it ntoday I think

8:03 am

gramma

Okie dokie. I'm off. See you all tomorrow.

8:04 am

Anniebrook

hello lynxxx, then I wont bother him with an email complaining about this issue. thanks for letting me know that he knows. He is such a dear person.

8:05 am

lynxxx

hi Annie - yes he is a sweetheart to even bother continuing to maintain the list for us.

8:08 am

Anniebrook

does anyone think Lickety should receive some sort of compensation for maintaining his list day after day? I think so.

8:09 am

lynxxx

of course! has been the subject of much discussion here - all pretty fruitless though.

8:11 am

Anniebrook

Well, that makes an "army" of two. I really do think he should be paid for his service.

8:13 am

Anniebrook

Molly, do you have Babble Expert?

8:13 am

MollyL

Annie, I would be happy to pay for Lickety's list. I'm pretty sure he could change his site to a "pay to view", but so far has not.

8:13 am

MollyL

Annie, I don't use Babble Expert.

8:14 am

lynxxx

You know, I think I might contact him and suggest he put a Paypal or something on his clue list, then if people are so inclined they can donate some money direct to him. DrG doesn't want any extra money but I am certain Lickety isn't in the same situation

8:14 am

lynxxx

Going to do it now

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hello all

8:14 am

Anniebrook

I dont know how to use Paypal

8:15 am

Anniebrook

couldn't I just mail him a check for his service?

8:16 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl, are you still have a problem opening Lickety's list?

8:16 am

MollyL

Annie, PayPal is not hard. You just open an account and link it to your bank account. You can then send or receive money through them. It's not much different than paying bills on line.

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

i haven't tried yet

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

down to 23 without it

8:18 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I do not bank on line nor will I put any info online re: checking acount

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

same here. but i am thinking of opening a speial account just for that. would link to small credit union account with very limited funds

8:20 am

MollyL

That is the way to do it TO. A bill paying account.

8:20 am

Anniebrook

Owl, I wouldnt know how to do that also. I am very computer illiterate. I just google, play some games and email. That's it.

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i openend a nominal account when the credit union did to get a premium.

8:21 am

hurshy

SONTAR HA!

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i am thinking i want to use ebay and the like to sell off stuff. i would use someone who was a proven on line seller but have not found one in my circle of friends

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

would much rather pay someone i know who could use the $

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

craig's list scares me.

9:59 am

bichon

10:02 am

smores

:)

10:02 am

MollyL

As long as the link to Lickety's list from here works, which I think it does, people should have access to clues.

10:02 am

rururocks

I have ten left and can't find them

10:02 am

rururocks

I have ten left and can't find them

10:02 am

MollyL

Ursh, Mac or Windows? If Windows, what version?

It does; I just got it.

10:03 am

smores

Some were having problems from the link Molly, getting the 404error TO had yesterday.

10:04 am

smores

It's odd, works fine for me, I checked both ways.

10:04 am

hokie carla

I use Chrome, FTR

10:04 am

hokie carla

worked fine for me

10:04 am

MollyL

Okay, the only people I read about were the ones getting the 404 error by trying to access Lickety Expert.

10:07 am

smores

Dunno...mine seems fine. I have windows 7

10:10 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

still shocked that's actually a word

10:12 am

smores

:)

10:12 am

MollyL

Once you have played this game long enough, you will believe that any odd looking collection of letters is a word. Case in point...cwms.

10:13 am

smores

put a rope around my neck...took forever to find my last 2 no's

10:13 am

hokie carla

10:13 am

smores

So true Molly, also all the alternate spellings.

10:35 am

smores

Oh...that's where I copied the link from...just drop the \n at the end...however it still might not work on Mac

10:35 am

MollyL

From what I have heard, Expert does not work on Macs.

10:35 am

hokie carla

looks cool, maybe I'll try it tomorrow.

10:35 am

smores

Hi flosey, glad to know it's something he is aware of and is able to fix

10:36 am

Alleyn58

Thank you all. Will have to struggle on without it. Only 115 to go!

10:36 am

smores

I like it hokie...so much easier to list

10:36 am

flosey

10:43 am

smores

np ruby...glad you got to enjoy some sunshine

10:43 am

rubyfoo

still CAN'T FIND THE ARROWS OR i WOULD SAY (ARROWS) RURU

10:44 am

smores

is it not next to your m ?

10:45 am

rubyfoo

nope

10:45 am

MollyL

Ruby has a French keyboard.

10:45 am

rubyfoo

my m is Under the question mark and my question mark is Under the double s

10:46 am

rubyfoo

and why it capitalizes the unders is beyond me!

10:46 am

smores

I thought they switched it out for you

10:47 am

Buggie

what arrows are you looking for?

10:47 am

rubyfoo

no, it's English underneath, but it is still correcting for French, hence accent marks now and then

10:47 am

rubyfoo

to point at my name, e.g. ruby (arrows) buggie

10:47 am

MollyL

Ruby are they not next to your W?

10:48 am

MollyL

The < signs I mean

10:48 am

rubyfoo

my w is Under the z

10:48 am

Buggie

the bigger/smaller signs ?

10:48 am

rubyfoo

on the Fr keyboard, tht's where the arrows are, but not in real life

10:49 am

rubyfoo

yes, buggie, but I can live with this, just can't declare my love for anybody LOL

10:49 am

smores

:)

10:50 am

Buggie

the < and > are on their own key, under the Q on the azerty keyboard

10:50 am

rubyfoo

nel is drinking gin, smiling in the sunshine, and reheting leftovers for dinner. How bad is that?

10:50 am

Buggie

on some laptops tat key may be moved though

10:51 am

smores

lol...sounds good to me ruby :)

10:51 am

rubyfoo

the Q key is the A

10:51 am

rubyfoo

this isn't a laptop

10:52 am

Buggie

let me get this straight, you're using an azerty keyboard, but the pc tinks it's a qwerty ?

10:53 am

Buggie

thinks... I can't type today

10:54 am

smores

Almost noon, guess I should go get some things done... {hugs} all around...have fun everyone :)

10:54 am

rubyfoo

My tech guy, who installed it, brought me a French keyboard, but I can touch-type the usual qwerty letters. Just having trouble with the symbols which I guess I didn't touch-type

10:57 am

Buggie

ahhhh, okay, then they're uppercase on the .; key and /: key (bottom row, 2nd and 3rd from the right)

10:58 am

rubyfoo

thank you vm, buggie, wouldn't have looked there

10:58 am

rubyfoo

<loves buggie

10:58 am

cybernan

good morning all -- crashed early last night, so just starting out

10:58 am

rubyfoo

hello nan

11:00 am

Buggie

you're welcome, wikipedia has some good images of the azerty and qwerty layouts to compare, just ignore the azerty <> as it's an extra key

11:01 am

rubyfoo

that's funny, why would they put an extra key

11:01 am

rubyfoo

my son says I should just by another keyboard

11:02 am

rubyfoo

I don't remember, buggie, where are you in France? Just getting old, I guess

11:02 am

Buggie

european keyboards needed the extra key as they all accents to deal with too

11:02 am

Buggie

Poitiers

11:03 am

rubyfoo

OMG, I almost married somebody from Poitiers in 1979. I hope that's not you!

11:03 am

rubyfoo

<loved Poitiers

11:03 am

rubyfoo

he would be very anhgry

11:03 am

Buggie

well, you can set the computer to the french layout, so you type what you see, or you can get a US keyboard. I think my mu uses a canadian one (qwerty with accents)

11:04 am

rubyfoo

and now, dinner.

11:04 am

rubyfoo

I won't forget again buggie

11:04 am

rubyfoo

and tell your mum, hi

11:04 am

Buggie

TraderKate

12:05 pm

crosshair

12:05 pm

TraderKate

12:06 pm

crosshair

i am just starting:)

12:07 pm

crosshair

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

12:07 pm

crosshair

A praying mantis has one ear.

12:08 pm

TraderKate

seems friendly enough, but i am just starting out myself :)
i'm afraid there are quite a few c words today..
lol, one ear? no wonder they are so funny looking

12:08 pm

crosshair

am off to a late start.hed to sterilize the kitchen.needed a good clean out

12:08 pm

TraderKate

so i guess they hear in mono, not stereo

12:08 pm

crosshair

and as you know,they bleed purple blood

12:09 pm

TraderKate

sterilize? spring cleaning or OCD?

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

{{crossy}} you're making that up about purple blood????

12:09 pm

crosshair

nope,i am not,ruby

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

hello kate

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

I still have 40 left

12:10 pm

crosshair

just a tad of OCD today kate

12:10 pm

TraderKate

why not? vulcan's blood is green, as everyone knows ;)

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

no Wonder their "wives" kill them

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

and what's wrong with OCD??

12:11 pm

TraderKate

hey there ruby :-)

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

If I didn't have OCD I've never get anything done

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

and done and done.....

12:11 pm

TraderKate

nothing - nothing - nothing wrong with OCDOCDOCD, perfectly normal - normal -normal ...

12:11 pm

crosshair

well,winston churchills said it best what chatting with a lady at a gala during the 40,s. she said "sir,if you were my husband ,i would do the world a great service and poison you" his reply was "madam,i assure you,that if your were my wife,i would drink it"

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

lol

12:12 pm

TraderKate

love that quote crossy, you come up with some real zingers

12:12 pm

crosshair

:)

12:13 pm

crosshair

the female praying mantis beheading her mate after sex brought that to mind.it is amazing what floats around in crossy's head

12:14 pm

TraderKate

... no cobwebs there, unlike my poor head )

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

dunk, at a party, Churchill was being forward and said to a woman, "Mdame, you are stupid" She said "Sir, you are drunk" to which he replied "yes, but I'll be sober in the orning"

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

drunk*

12:15 pm

TraderKate

:-0

12:15 pm

crosshair

my mind is not sharp by any means,kate.think of it like a old railyard roundabout switching station.you know where you want to go,you even try to head there,but often you end up on a totaly different track.often those different tracks are interesting :)

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

I just ate 4 dates with crem cheese for desert I hope they're good for me....

12:16 pm

crosshair

sounds healty at any rate

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

tasty

12:16 pm

crosshair

healthy

12:18 pm

TraderKate

yummy, and nutrition too
...but i digress ( little mensa line)

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

I once went to a mensa party, what a bunch of jerks!

12:19 pm

crosshair

that last comment of mine about the switching yard was plagerized from Stephen King and altered for my own use.please do not sue me Stevie;))

12:19 pm

crosshair

they are too full of themselves,ruby.too busy comparing brain pan sizes to be human

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

reminds me of Annie Hall which I saw \9again!) last night on TV

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

when I was in high school (100 years ago|), I worked in the dean's office and looked up everybody's IQ scores

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

very bad nel!

12:21 pm

crosshair

but my creedo is"if you read one book for your paper,it is plagerism.if you read 1000,it becomes research"

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

I wrote one decent paper in college and my prof accused me of plagiarizing because all the rest of my stuff was so bad

12:22 pm

TraderKate

it depends on where you are ruby - twits in mensa to be sure, but lots of very nice people too... i thought mensa in europe was more of a way to meet people for dating? here each group varies quite a bit. in toronto, the monthly socials are always fun, and they plan outings and pub crawls a lot

12:22 pm

crosshair

lol

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

I'm sorry kate, that was many years ago and in Miami, where everybody was so coked up, who knew.

12:23 pm

TraderKate

ruby is very naughty indeed.... tsk, tsk, tsk

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

I am sure it's different in different cities and it would be nice to be around people who can use sentences of more than 3 words

12:23 pm

crosshair

i find that the smarter the person,the more they destroy themselves when they let loose a bit:)

12:23 pm

TraderKate

i wouldn't theink there'd be a mensan in all of miami... <snort>

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

ruby had a very long naughty period....just ask molly

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

touche!

12:24 pm

MollyL

She's still having it. Just trying to pretend like she's not.

12:24 pm

TraderKate

we will ask molly all about it when she returns

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

and VOILA!

12:25 pm

TraderKate

ah... molly was lurking, preparing to pounce!
;)

12:25 pm

MollyL

So let me see if I can make sense of this chat. Kate, you are a member of Mensa?

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

I'm going to have molly ghost-write y memoirs

12:25 pm

MollyL

No, I don't lurk, I just checked back in.

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

Molly intuits my secrets

12:26 pm

TraderKate

lapsed, yes.. i don't think there's an active chapter in the sticks here. it's not to everyone's taste, but any one of you would qualify easily, i'm sure

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

ya think? lol

12:27 pm

TraderKate

lining up for a copy of ruby's memoirs
waiting for molly to spill the beans a bit on ruby's past

12:27 pm

TraderKate

absolutely!

12:27 pm

stidgmere

Hello. Just starting. NOt a member of mensa.

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

12:28 pm

TraderKate

wouldn't like to have it in any language ;)

12:28 pm

stidgmere

Hi ruby. Did not know the fr word for shingles. Do you have shingles?

12:29 pm

MollyL

My lips are zipped about Ruby's past. Also not a member of mensa.

12:29 pm

stidgmere

Avez-vous le zona?

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

no, TG, probably because I neer had chicken pox

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

I think you have to have had the to get shingles

12:29 pm

TraderKate

slinking off... that's what i get for telling. i don't tell anybody :((

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

my father had shingles once; it's the only time anybody ever saw him cry

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

12:31 pm

Naches girl

Zona is the Hebrew word for prostitute!

12:31 pm

stidgmere

I don't have shingles but got the vaccine. Kate, don't slink off, it doesn't become you and we know you are overly qualified for mensa.

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

<loves kate

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

didn't know there was a vaccine

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

that's hilarious!

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

nd hello girl

12:32 pm

Naches girl

Zona is the Hebrew word for prostitute

12:32 pm

stidgmere

Yes. Oh well. Being silly.

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

See, this is why I'm not in Mensa. I can't do the math to figure out how you would be overly qualified to be in the top 2% IQ bracket. : D

Naches means deriving a sense of pleasure or enjoyment after making a big effort.

rubyfoo

or what you give your mother if you become a doctor

12:34 pm

Naches girl

Don't know why I'm being repeated.

12:34 pm

stidgmere

I think percentages are overrated and since things can now be 200% or even more, well, why stop at bell-shaped curves.

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

what's the cutoff for top 2 percent

12:35 pm

MollyL

Not like nachos, which means deriving a big sense of pleasure or enjoyment after making a big effort with cheese and tortilla chips. : D

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

a,em to that, molly!

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

amen*

12:36 pm

MollyL

You have a point Gran Mere. I would think a puzzle like this would be boring for someone of Mensa status. And trust me, I am never bored here. : D

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

bored? I don't think I've ever been bored

12:37 pm

stidgmere

Mystified, stymied, stumped, yes. Bored with Babble, no.

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

tired, often. Bored,, never

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

and stuck, most of the time.....

12:39 pm

stidgmere

I'm glad no one sees me monkeying. It is never a pretty sight when nonsense is the best type of word I can find.

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

I'm going to put a lovely quote from the NYT into my profile about friendship and the Internet

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

see you tomorrow

12:41 pm

stidgmere

Good bye ruby foo.

12:42 pm

TraderKate

you should see some of the drivel my monkey comes up with ;)
bye (((ruby)))

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

I just put the long quote in my profile; it could have been written by many of us.

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

(my monkey is useless!)

12:48 pm

MollyL

Ruby, you need to fix "week"...add a k.

12:48 pm

MollyL

And community, add a c.

12:49 pm

TraderKate

nice quote ruby, and so very true.. i think the babble community is fantastic, so incredibly supportive and compassionate.
( not mentioning typos as will be made fun of)

12:49 pm

MollyL

And a space in between for and about.
Love,

1:00 pm

dcseain

hy, ruby, thanks. as unwell go, this is not too bad though.

1:00 pm

wvteach

1:00 pm

MollyL

Peri, what twinkle twinkles and what you sniff with

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

like a mole

1:01 pm

periwinkle

ty you all

1:01 pm

periwinkle

missing one 8

1:01 pm

MollyL

I had no idea until today that moles had those.

1:01 pm

dcseain

ty, i'd not looked at that ST for it.

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

they are not quite cute -- almost

1:01 pm

MollyL

They are gross looking things.

1:02 pm

periwinkle

<-----not partial to moles. they make holes in the yard

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

but as they're blind and can't look in mirrors, they don't know

1:02 pm

TraderKate

ty teach, molly and ruby - another strange compound

1:02 pm

periwinkle

bbs

1:02 pm

MollyL

They are fun to whack in the arcade though.
: D

1:02 pm

dcseain

my mom had a dog that would catch them and play with them, then whine because they died.

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

hahah

1:03 pm

TraderKate

<----- agrees with molly - LOVES whack-a-mole!!! :0

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

they ate about 200 tulip bulbs one year but then were gone. Perhaps tulips are toxic for moles

1:04 pm

TraderKate

daffodil bulbs are toxic, don't think tulips are though - were there daffys too?

1:05 pm

TraderKate

..certainly would have given them a helluva tummy ache!

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

no, no daffs, but had put in more than 300 tulip bubs the first year we were here

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

very few survived the onslaught

1:06 pm

TraderKate

maybe seain's mom's dog was visiting?

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

there were extensive tunnels

1:07 pm

dcseain

tunnels such that fill dirt was needed?

1:08 pm

TraderKate

did you plant more aftre the erradication of the little blighters?

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

no, once the moles were gones, the tunnels were too

1:08 pm

dcseain

our planet is amazing :)

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

by the 3rd year, there were about 30 tulips left but those survivors have multiplied to about 100 now IF Rufie doesn't destroy them as he did last year

1:09 pm

TraderKate

oh - is the pup coming friday?????

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

it's my first garden, so every year is a revelation

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

YES!

1:11 pm

TraderKate

yipppppeeee!!!! :))))
you won't have too much time for gardening this year - puppyhood is wonderful, but time-consuming for their humans ;)

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

I can't work in the garden when Rufie is around because he runs away with my Tools or my cushion or the branches I cut

1:12 pm

dcseain

heh. puppies are 'fun' that way.

1:13 pm

TraderKate

you must post lots and lots of picture ruby - keep us abreast of developments
rufie sounds very mischievious ;)

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

I can't wait to see his reaction to the puppy

1:13 pm

TraderKate

how old is rufie?

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

he's a great boy, smart and very handsome

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

14 months

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

so he's still growing, he'll be enormous

1:15 pm

TraderKate

you must put up a picture of ruffie as well! what breed is he? i'm sure they will get along famously, dogs are so social

1:15 pm

dcseain

big dogs are the best.

1:16 pm

TraderKate

agree seain, love the biggies too
very nice picture, by the way :))

1:18 pm

TraderKate

always wanted to get 3 - a bouvier, a old english sheepdog, and a golden retriever.... love mastiffs, rotweillers, st. bernards and of course - newfies, but they would eat me out of house and home... not to mention take up all the room on the bed ;))

2:22 pm

uusue2

2:23 pm

smores

2:23 pm

jmcnrick

nbt...got stuck onthe corner A

2:24 pm

smores

Drizzled the extra ganache on it after it came out of course :)

2:25 pm

jmcnrick

2:26 pm

smores

wow...that's great jmc...he oughta throw you a nice bonus for that one :)

2:26 pm

2:26 pm

smores

BRB

2:27 pm

jmcnrick

2:29 pm

TraderKate

<----drooling over my empty dessert plate... considering the drive to indiana as well ;)

2:31 pm

TraderKate

2:31 pm

jmcnrick

he won't but i makes me happy anyway! i enjoy besting the system

2:32 pm

smores

Well, you're at least sure to get his repeat business

2:33 pm

TraderKate

grandpa always said "a job well done is its own reward", understand the pride, but i like to eat occasionally ;)

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

true true. . . people are often very loyal to their tax preparer. . .

2:33 pm

smores

And he is sure to pass the word around

2:35 pm

jmcnrick

ah well back to the salt mines. . . .bbl

2:36 pm

smores

Bye for now jmc :)

2:36 pm

TraderKate

bye jmc, see you friday

2:37 pm

TraderKate

fishing for my last 3 words... must be using the wrong bait :(

2:37 pm

smores

:)

2:38 pm

TraderKate

i find the 1 point tile words the hardest to monkey too many combinations and no hints to help with poijnt counts

2:39 pm

smores

true..

2:40 pm

TraderKate

the st i'm hunting is especially elusive - too many st combos

2:40 pm

smores

yep...I'm working on S's right now too

2:41 pm

TraderKate

finally found it!.. now for the ar words... again 1 point tile words... grrrr ;)

2:42 pm

TraderKate

fireworks! they were fish!!!!

2:42 pm

uusue2

yay kate!!

2:43 pm

uusue2

(sorry, stepped away for a bit)

2:43 pm

TraderKate

i wish i could start on tomorrow's grid....

2:43 pm

bichon

do you need any help Kate?

2:43 pm

smores

WTG TK !!! woohoo :)

2:44 pm

uusue2

hi bichon!

2:44 pm

TraderKate

hi bichon, thanks, but i set off the flares a minute ago
yeah me! i usually have to beg for clues for the last few words...maybe i'm actually improving ;)

2:44 pm

bichon

hi Sue, how goes it. You moved?

2:44 pm

smores

well done

2:44 pm

bichon

ar

2:45 pm

uusue2

mostly, bichon, there are still a few things to get from the old house

2:45 pm

bichon

Did you buy a new house?

2:46 pm

uusue2

no, we are renting

2:46 pm

bichon

I am *never* moving again. My body is going out feet first

2:48 pm

uusue2

I didn't want to, but my ex defaulted on some properties I'd deeded to him in the divorce which ultimately led to me losing my house

2:49 pm

TraderKate

i'm sure there's a level of hell where you must perpetually move house ;)

2:49 pm

bichon

that's too bad Sue. With all you have going on with Frank too. How is your son doing

2:49 pm

smores

grrr...sorry to hear Sue

2:49 pm

uusue2

ugh, kate!

2:49 pm

uusue2

My son is doing well, bichon, I think the challenge of 5 engineering courses is what he needed

2:50 pm

TraderKate

wishes sue's ex would go to a very bad place and stay there

2:50 pm

uusue2

also a new girlfriend who's an overachiever (has a lead position at the firm that puts those little ads on YouTube, and is going to med school at night)

2:50 pm

bichon

That'll do it Sue

2:51 pm

bichon

Med school at night. Didn't know you could do that

2:51 pm

smores

Good for him Sue

2:51 pm

TraderKate

sounds like he's got a full plate - and then some!

2:52 pm

uusue2

I didn't either, bichon, it sounds crazy. When I was in grad school I worked about 20 hours a day (at least while I was taking courses)

2:52 pm

bichon

I'm glad he's gotten over that other girlfriend

2:53 pm

TraderKate

i guess no one needs any clues? i'm trying to psyche myself up to go out in the rotten rain/snow, but don't really want to...give me a reason to stay where i'm warm and dry ;)

2:53 pm

uusue2

he's been very thoughtful while Frank's been ill, too, comes over to walk the dog (also to do his laundry, haha), just brought me some lunch.

2:54 pm

TraderKate

sounds like you trained him well sue

2:54 pm

uusue2

he really is a good kid, and is starting to come into his own (he's 23)

2:54 pm

smores

I could use the so7

2:55 pm

uusue2

I could use any 7, 8, or 9 :-)

2:56 pm

TraderKate

so 7/32 pl of the so 6/21 before it.. which in turn is the so 5/12 before it with a vowel added on the end
the 6 & 7 mean to calm or make at ease

2:58 pm

windingwake

enable should really discover zoot suits.

2:58 pm

TraderKate

st 8/40 and st 9/54 combo....
st4/4 + sniffer and pl
there are a few words for proboscis in herer today by the way

2:58 pm

smores

ah...thank you...7's done and 3 more S's down :)

2:58 pm

uusue2

I agree, winding!

2:59 pm

TraderKate

agree winding, but it's probably a proper noun?

2:59 pm

uusue2

got the st words, thanks kate! nbs!

2:59 pm

TraderKate

i thought tocs would work.. tic toc tic toc...

3:00 pm

windingwake

Is it really? Was there some guy named Zoot?

3:00 pm

TraderKate

more 7 & 8 words needed?

3:00 pm

TraderKate

i don't think so, but will investigate and report back

3:01 pm

smores

not seeing the last st5

3:01 pm

windingwake

heh, i'm okay wiht the mystery, but ty =)

3:03 pm

smores

Probably a company trade name like kleenex or oreos

3:03 pm

TraderKate

no guy named zoot - but what i saw of write-ups always capitalized the Z

3:03 pm

smores

I still enter oreo every time ... lol

3:04 pm

windingwake

I enter zoot every time. Just in case it changes ;)

3:04 pm

TraderKate

The soot suit was originally associated with black musicians and their sub-culture. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word zoot probably comes from a reduplication of suit. The creation and naming of the zoot suit have been variously attributed to Harold C. Fox, a Chicago clothier and big-band trumpeter;[7] Louis Lettes, a Memphis tailor;[8] and Nathan (Toddy) Elkus, a Detroit retailer.

3:04 pm

TraderKate

from wikkipedia...

3:04 pm

smores

{giggle} thanks TK

3:04 pm

windingwake

I will count that as my trivia for the day. ty, Tk =)

3:05 pm

smores

yes..I missed crossy's tidbit today :)

3:05 pm

TraderKate

did you miss crossy's trivia? a praying mantis has only 1 ear.. and apparently purple blood - but i think he was pulling legs wtih the blood

3:06 pm

TraderKate

i try tara every time

3:06 pm

smores

really? lol

3:07 pm

TraderKate

i did not research the blood to find out..

3:07 pm

windingwake

I haven't got to the stage where I'm avoiding the list by combing the chog for clues, so I didn't see that yet.

3:09 pm

TraderKate

os 7/28 is an orphan... os + to 6/18 but lose one of the snakes...

3:09 pm

smores

BRB

3:10 pm

TraderKate

no 6/21, no 7/32 combo
most of the proboscis + half of a clock sound

3:13 pm

TraderKate

na 7/32 and na 8/45 combo
.. na 4/5 ("rat" or drug cop)
na 5/12 add a vowel to create a drug prefix
na 6/21 plural it
na 7/32 add another vowel to the end
na 8/45 plural it

3:14 pm

TraderKate

the grid does not accept fest, though i think it should.. but if you put the funny papers against it you will get fe 7/40 and fe 8/55 (pl)

3:15 pm

TraderKate

ef 7/40 and ef 8/55 (pl)
same lettters as the fe words...
a 3 letter bablet + "anon" and pl

3:16 pm

Judi

Hiyas again, kiddos.

3:16 pm

Judi

Mantises have purple blood? How would you know? It's bad luck to squish one.

3:17 pm

TraderKate

cr 5/12.... cr 6/21.... cr 7/32.....cr 8/45 (the "most of one of our babblers)

3:18 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :) - still looking for that os 7/28 -- anyone have a clue, please?

3:18 pm

TraderKate

hi judi - i didn't look it up - but you might ask cr5/12y... i think he was pulling my leg... pretty sure all life on earth is based on heme - therefore red?

3:19 pm

Judi

I would think their blood would be green, or brownish like a grasshoppers. S'ok. I'll live life without knowing.

3:20 pm

TraderKate

when it's cold out our no 5/10 and "toses" get very red

3:20 pm

windingwake

well, depending on the circulation system, even heme-based blood could be purplish

3:20 pm

smores

wheee...it's a TK clue fest :)

3:20 pm

windingwake

it goes bluish when it's not carrying oxygen

3:21 pm

Judi

Interesting factoid, though.

3:21 pm

TraderKate

true winding =- we should put you in charge of researching it, since science geek isn't here... is she still around?

3:22 pm

cybernan

os 7, please?

3:22 pm

uusue2

ok, I googled it - since grasshopper blood doesn't carry oxygen it is greenish.

3:23 pm

TraderKate

for nan....when it's cold out our no 5/10 and "toses" get very red

3:23 pm

TraderKate

grasshopper blood has no o2??? does it not breath air?

3:24 pm

cybernan

ty kate :)

3:24 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!*

3:24 pm

TraderKate

congratulations nan! whooopppeeee :)

3:25 pm

smores

WTG!!! nan :)

3:25 pm

cybernan

looked forever for that last one without coming up with anything

3:25 pm

windingwake

It breathes air--but from what i vaguely remember from bio classes, insects don't really have a circulation system. They don't need one, because their bodies are so small

3:25 pm

cybernan

off to do some sewing -- guessing all of you have finished :)

3:26 pm

TraderKate

maybe just absorb it through the carapice? i haven't a clue...
bye nan!

3:26 pm

windingwake

so whatever liquid is in there wouldn't necessarily have to resemble our blood. But even our blood looks less red when there's less oxygen in it (in veins as opposed to arteries)

3:26 pm

smores

nope

3:27 pm

smores

Bye Nan...enjoy :)

3:27 pm

windingwake

insects have pores all over their body where the air gets in, yeah.

3:27 pm

TraderKate

what are you fishing for smores? i don't often get a chnace to help you

3:27 pm

TraderKate

i could randomly to 4/4 some clues out ;)

3:27 pm

smores

st5...the last one

3:27 pm

windingwake

I'm gonna stop babbling about insect innards now =)

3:27 pm

TraderKate

see my last post

3:28 pm

smores

:)

3:28 pm

TraderKate

lol, i find it interesting winding

3:28 pm

smores

stoopid word...lol

3:28 pm

smores

thanks TK

3:28 pm

I think 10s Gu is after sa & the thorny flower ***e

Hi, soodle, I'm gmere stid. I am trying to be helpful but poor mama has lost so many of her cherished memorabilia.

5:26 pm

Country..very sorry about that.

5:26 pm

ridiculous - like weather all over the world. Yesterday was the hottest April day for something like 73 years

5:26 pm

Soodle

Ooh, Lynn . Every hemisphere brings its own problems, eh?

5:27 pm

stidgmere

I wouldn't be suprised if we had snow flurries for East. The wind is coming from the north now and it is not balmy.

5:27 pm

lynxxx

climate change (sigh)

5:27 pm

zoozzoom

Keep wrapped up, Stidgmere.

5:28 pm

Soodle

Doh ! Sorry. I get confused with all the Babble-Stids.

5:29 pm

stidgmere

We all look alike, I think Soodle. Mama is still at school. She had a long-term substitute teaching job that is finishing up this week. That will give her time to do the necessary planning for a new house.

5:32 pm

Soodle

Oh, my heart goes out to her for her recent losses. Deep sigh. All I can so is send her positive vibes. And hugs. ((((((()))))

5:33 pm

stidgmere

I need to go rescue some chilies I've under the broiler to char the skins so I can make chilies rellenos for supper. Your positive vibes and love are having a wonderful impact. Never underestimate the power of prayer. Good bye for now.

5:49 pm

MollyL

JMC: Well, we can sn4 about that later. Guy: YOWZA!

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

5:50 pm

zoozzoom

Mwahahahaha!

5:51 pm

lynxxx

Everyone...earlier we were having yet another conversation about how some of us would like to give Lickety something for providing the clues. I asked him to put his Paypal account on his Clues List. He has, just on the right hand side. So - if you feel so inclined ......

5:51 pm

zoozzoom

ooh thanks, Lynxxx..yes good idea.

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

nbt/nbs...

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

And great idea lynxx!

5:53 pm

lynxxx

I was doing a little fund raising myself earlier this week...asked people to give $5 or $10. I was staggered at the response...no-one gave less than $20 and a couple even gave $100. People are very generous

5:54 pm

zoozzoom

Well..just went onto the lickety page & cannot find it?

5:54 pm

periwinkle

I don't see the paypal account

5:55 pm

lynxxx

Probably close and re-open Zooz, I think he has just done it

5:55 pm

zoozzoom

Ok.will do.

5:55 pm

MollyL

It's just his email address. You go to PayPal and donate to licketySplitAUS@gmail.com

5:56 pm

periwinkle

ok ty Molls

5:56 pm

MollyL

Perhaps donate wasn't the right word. Send money to...

5:57 pm

MollyL

You have to have a PayPal account yourself to do that.

5:57 pm

periwinkle

oh, I don't have a pay pal account

5:58 pm

Jillyjill

You can do it either way molly....donate or send

5:58 pm

lynxxx

or like me, get someone who has one to do it for you (I get my daughter to do it)

5:58 pm

MollyL

Thanks Jill, I didn't want donate to confuse anyone.

5:58 pm

periwinkle

I will go to paypal and see what the options are

6:00 pm

Bye everyone

6:40 pm

crosshair

reading back on the donation idea.good enough but if we are to donate to anywhere we should donate a buck or 2 each to dr_g who is as i understand it from the last time we talked is keeping babble going as a kindness and out of love for his program and not making any real money on it.seems subscriptions to go pro are real,real slow in coming making any real money on it

6:41 pm

crosshair

lol,do not know what happened at the end there but you get my drift

6:42 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Crossy..i am happy to do that also.

6:42 pm

crosshair

because if he gets tired if it and pulls babble then licketys is not much use anyways:/

6:43 pm

crosshair

now,saying all tha,he has not asked for a dime.i am just thinking out loud here

6:44 pm

crosshair

and it would be easy,since it is already set up.would just send him another subscription fee.lords know i have gotten 5 years out of the first 11 dollars

6:45 pm

crosshair

lord knows*

6:47 pm

zoozzoom

If i send another subscription payment..would it set up another account..which i do not need?

6:47 pm

crosshair

have no idea,zooz,just bouncing this idea around atm

6:48 pm

crosshair

just blueskying it as they say

6:48 pm

zoozzoom

I will log out and see what the options are.

6:48 pm

crosshair

if enough people like the idea,i can collect names and then ask the good dr_g about the details

6:50 pm

crosshair

so,if any of you are at all interested in this,just email me at p.a.melbourne and use babble in the subject line so i can find you and leave me your real name and you babble name.if enough respond i will look into it further

6:51 pm

crosshair

100 of us would be amazing

6:52 pm

crosshair

and in deference to past collection disasters i think this is best way as any donation goes direct,but we shall see.just thinking on it here like i say

6:52 pm

crosshair

p.a.melbourne@gmail.com

6:53 pm

best put the full addy out there eh? lol

jmcnrick

I'm sure that you are both better dancers than I am. If I started dancing, people would get up & leave the room.

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

my belly jiggles when i dance (and my butt does too) but it is about the enjoyment not the appearance

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

TO on the otherhand is fairly slim. . .

8:32 pm

Minveryork

You are sooooo right jmcnrick! I am stuck in my adolescent self-consciousness phase.

I had 52 when I came back on after 9...went pretty fast...AFTER I listed...

10:32 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I do need to hit the pillows...sorry, clues discount will be extended to tomorrows grid...niters all!!

10:40 pm

Lickety's email has always been available. He just made it known that he has a PayPal account with that same email address so that people who wish (and have a PayPal account) can send thank you dollars.

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

Regarding Lickety's list I am was of the belief that Mr Pres is doing it. DO NOT quote me on that.

11:30 pm

cosdem

i was told it was lickety himself

11:30 pm

Pinikula

*evening all*

11:35 pm

MollyL

Lickety is doing the list now.

11:36 pm

Jacula

Hello all. I thought the same, re Lickety - that it was MrP now doing it.

11:38 pm

Jacula

Hello Pini.

11:39 pm

herinfernallady

Don't quote me I am grateful enough at the moment I am fully dressed. I am so not with it

Jes - it's a word to do with the making of bones. os _ not from but **, then add a plural or verb form ending.

11:43 pm

jesdraggon

thanks

11:45 pm

Jacula

Herin - what's wrong with the weather in Oz? As weird as it is here in UK? Though it's not really that weird here unless you're under 30 and don't remember past weather patterns.

11:46 pm

herinfernallady

Windy stormy and crazy. Apparently the whole warehouse shook up the road at the other halfs work. We lost power and in the CBD 2 people have been killed by a falling wall. We have also lost trains

11:49 pm

herinfernallady

Welcome to Melbourne. just remember to wear wollies that you can easily remove as we have 4 seasons in one day

11:50 pm

Jacula

Our internet and TV link was out for hours a couple of days ago - that's never happened before, either.

11:50 pm

Jacula

Herin - lol! Sounds like the UK.

herinfernallady

Argh
