hey m -- did your email get hacked? (got a one-line email from you earlier, but nothing earlier than that one...)
12:07 am
m9f9l
yes it did.
12:07 am
stidmama
ah, melon is a phantom nudist. This is an important thing to know before arranging a babble meet with her... rofl
12:07 am
stidmama
okay, thanks for letting me know. That stinks... hope you didn't lose any important data
12:08 am
m9f9l

Bingo! first column :-)
12:09 am
stidmama
weird spammy thing, m! glad it didn't hit you too hard. you checked for a keystroke logger, yes? That is my current computer nightmare -- the piece that I worry about whenever something peculiar happens is that I have inadvertently downloaded one of those!

12:18 am
melonheadjujube
So sad about the pets.
12:19 am
stidmama
yes, when I cry, that's the reason. Grant, who was there just after the fire broke out and who fought it with a garden hose until the fire department arrived, was okay. When I am too sad, I remember I still have both my sons... but I still miss our critters intensely.

12:22 am
stidmama
he is our crust maker, I actually made the filling last fall from heirloom apples -- the freezer in the utility room maintained its seal so we could salvage these jars!
12:22 am
m9f9l
Yum! I made a chocolate/pumpkin cake with raspberries and cream cheese icing.
12:22 am
stidmama
oh yum, melon -- I like cobbler
12:23 am

12:36 am
m9f9l
And if you need help moving, I bet a bunch of helpful men could be arranged! Your friend hook you up with meals and such when it happened?
12:37 am
stidmama
thanks for the link, m! It looks divine
12:37 am
stidmama
so glad they are okay!
12:37 am
m9f9l
Yes me too. There were quite a few people there I gather. And a trailer in the back. It was someone in the trailer started it I guess.
12:38 am
stidmama
Yes, the insurance company is paying for the apartment for now, and the rental furniture. They will stop paying for those after a while, hopefully the house will be done by then, but if not we should be able by then to afford to pay for the aprt for a couple months
12:38 am

And didn't react very quickly... sigh. It was LATE on a Saturday night....

fires move SO fast -- and are so very hot once they really start to grow. Our house fire melted glass in the next room, and some plastic items at the far end of the house. But what probably did the most damage was the toxic smoke -- as things started to get warm, the fluorescent light bulbs started popping, releasing mercury vapor and other toxins. 50 years ago one might be able to fight a fire back once it flares but nowadays most fires the smart thing is to grab your loved ones and get h4 out of the there.
12:40 am
stidmama
YAY and sweet dreams nan!

1:17 am
m9f9l
Stid just left, but I sent her a message to let scrabbler know you were looking.

Geometry was never my fave...
1:45 am

Tree ring -- not such a weird word in the singular

You're not really missing that much with hulu, crossy. But the Netflix is really important for good Roku use.
8:14 am
crosshair
yupo.game plan is a nice roku 3,a tv than is modern enough to use it and netflix
8:16 am
MimiCat
You should start the Netflix subscription even before you get the Roku and TV set up, crossy. You can stream on the computer til then and, more importantly, you can start setting shows up in your Netflix queue using your computer....that's the best way to do it....much easier. That way, when your Roku is ready, you already have many shows loaded. When you're ready, I'll send you my favorites list.
8:17 am
crosshair
i will definatly let you know when i am set to get it rolling,mimi and pick your brain for good shows

Different perspectives. Lately, Babble has been making me realize how naive people are. Such is life.
2:15 pm
jmcnrick
well hanging out with the peace community did that for me. . . if it were not for the naivety of the people in the peace community my stalker would have been history long ago. . . as it is i got a call from a friend last week about him once again gaining a foothold. . . .
2:15 pm
jmcnrick
but between the two of us we shut him down again. . .

Of the last 20 grids, 16 have been under 150 and 8 have been under 100. Here's to a challenging grid, somewhere in the near future.
4:57 pm
MimiCat
Molly, I contacted Dr. God about this very thing....he doesn't care.
4:59 pm
MollyL
It's not that he doesn't care. It's a random selection. It's just an odd ongoing random selection.
5:00 pm
MimiCat
It just seems to me that if it was truly random, it wouldn't give such consistently low grids for so long....but what do I know! Leaving again....poof!
