1:41 am

flosey

usually here, pugs although I get over there as often as I can - cheaper for me to go there than them come here Seniors travel free Mo. - Thurs. but hubby doesn't go

1:42 am

joso

ok pug, there are 4 things on a computer called memory, + virtual memory. Cache, ram, hard drive space, and video memory. you can think of a computer as being simmilar to a man in an office. the man is the processor, his personal memory is the cashe memory, his desktop is the ram memory, the most immediate memory, used for what he wants right at hand, what he is working on now. The fileing cabinet is the hard drive space. The cashe is the smallest and most immediate mem, the guy's mem, the ram is next size up and fairly fast, the desktop, only need to glance at it to find what you need, the hard drive is the biggest and slowest, the fileing cabinet, you have to get up, walk acroos the room, get the file you want, return, clear some desk space and open the file to get what in in the fileing cabinet, very big but very slow.

1:46 am

puglet

so is this a problem for me to worry about or is it due to the age of my computer not being able to handle the things I ask of it at times. And thank you for the trouble of enlightining me on this

1:46 am

joso

Windows makes up somthing called virtual memory, it takes some of the unused space in the fileing cabinet (hard drive) and sets it asside to be used for virtual memory. When the desktop (ram) gets full windows starts stashing things in the virtual memory (hard drive space pretending to be ram).

1:47 am

puglet

is that good or bad?

1:48 am

joso

it just is, how windows solves a particular problem.

1:48 am

puglet

it seems to do it more so on a certain game while also talking on chat

1:50 am

puglet

thank you very much Joso

1:51 am

joso

running out means your hard drive may be filling up so thire is little space for virtual memory. If you go to windows help it will talk you through how to increase VM. eg if it is now at 10% of your free space, try upping it to 20 or 25%

1:51 am

joso

or restarting the computer will clear it all and give you a fresh start

1:53 am

joso

or, and this is really anoying, the problem may not be virtual memory space, sometimes windows error messages are wrong

1:53 am

puglet

okay--I dont have a whole lot on my computer.And I do go once in a while and do the disc clean up and defrag too

1:54 am

puglet

I get error on page all the time at the bottom

1:55 am

joso

good, then go to windows help and search for virtual memory, it should talk you through how to increase it. sorry but I no longer remember the steps to do so for win 98 any longer.

1:56 am

puglet

alright I will work on this today.TYVM

1:57 am

puglet

Has Sprite been on this morning yet

1:58 am

joso

or, if your comp has space for it, buy and add ram, I think only used ram will be available but should be cheap.

1:58 am

puglet

okay

1:59 am

joso

I would hold off on that though, as you know you want a new comp anyway, but that money toward the new comp instead

1:59 am

puglet

like I said it has only happen on facebook and just now and then

2:00 am

joso

Haven't seem sprite yet

2:00 am

puglet

rose wont be on til late she has that class at work to go to

2:06 am

joso

yes, very fond of it, you too pug?

2:07 am

puglet

no---noone around me is into card games--but I llike them. I tried playing bridge on pogo a few times

2:08 am

puglet

I have seen several people on here that does play bridge though

2:08 am

joso

tough game to learn without someones help

2:09 am

puglet

bridge isnt common about me(or Ive not heard of any bridge groups)

2:10 am

puglet

when my dad was still here we played alot of eucher

2:10 am

joso

was more popular in the 20s-50s

2:11 am

joso

eucher has some simmilarities, kind of a simlper bridge, except for the bower thing

2:12 am

puglet

I think the computer has taken away group games just about

2:13 am

joso

I am a game nut, still play alot of face to face games, some very good newer games coming out of germany now.

2:13 am

puglet

canasta was a big game too when I was growing up.

2:14 am

puglet

I like gaming too. My mom and late aunt use to stay up all night playing scrabble.

2:15 am

joso

also fun, remember as a kid trying to hold a big mittful of cards with tiny hands with canasta

2:15 am

puglet

I like chess too but Iam not very good at it

2:17 am

puglet

I always wanted to learn the board game of risk but I just couldnt understand it

2:17 am

joso

as I can not spell, and no good at anigrams scrabble always stumped me. I can recognize that it is a very well designed game, but I could never compete.

2:20 am

puglet

words games are my favorite--dont much care for crosswords puzzles though(but that is mostly due to Iam not very good at figuring them out)lol

2:21 am

joso

you should see Empires at Arms, a simulation of the napoleonic wars, 220 pages of rules, 7 players one for each major nation, takes about a year to play if everyone meets once a week for a 12 hour session.

2:22 am

puglet

omg! and have you played this?

2:23 am

joso

a few times, won as prussia and again as britian.

2:23 am

puglet

you must have an amazing brain!

2:24 am

joso

I plan to feature a new game each month with my icon

2:25 am

puglet

do you have a group that you play these games with

2:26 am

puglet

thats different to do....will bring memories back to some of us Iam sure

2:26 am

joso

get together every other sunday, and other times too

2:27 am

puglet

thats really nice. Are your brothers into this too

2:28 am

joso

no, they've played some of my games, but not really thier thing. My niece is an avid fan though.

2:28 am

puglet

Is it boards and card games that you all play

2:28 am

puglet

where did you get into this--from your parents?

2:29 am

joso

board, warsimulation, and roleplaying

2:30 am

puglet

though Ive never played it I think I would have like that game dragons and dungens(I think thats the name)

2:30 am

joso

joined a gameclub as a teen, was my entire social life for a number of years

2:31 am

joso

close, dungeons and dragons, the first rollplaying game

2:31 am

puglet

Ive never seen anything like that about me but I would had liked something like that

2:31 am

puglet

have you played that

2:32 am

joso

yes, played with the first copy that came to toronto.

2:32 am

puglet

do you have a gaming computer too

2:33 am

puglet

I looked into those gaming computers online and they are very costly

2:33 am

joso

I play some games on computer, don't have a comp set aside for gaming

2:33 am

puglet

did you like the dragon game

2:35 am

puglet

I like some of the hidden object games but due to me needing glasses its kind of hard to play some of them

2:35 am

joso

I don't need a gaming computer, those are for the very fast games and i never had an interest in them, nor could my reflexes keep up anymore.

2:36 am

puglet

are you into the play station games too

2:36 am

joso

2:36 am

joso

I like games that make you think, not twitch

2:38 am

ChrissieDee

2:52 am

2:52 am

ChrissieDee

Home time came, panic, no keys

2:53 am

ChrissieDee

Rang hubby to come with the spare set

2:53 am

2:54 am

ChrissieDee

Don't bother with that tip any more!

2:54 am

sprite

2:55 am

ChrissieDee

About 30 secs after ringing hubby

2:55 am

ChrissieDee

You can picture it can't you sprite ;)

2:55 am

sprite

3:19 am

sprite

*grins* Hiya dear friend. So, how are you today?

3:20 am

grannyrose

sprite, doing okay. bought the spray version of my 'pain away' cream, for the knee. appears to be helping.

3:20 am

sprite

that is wonderful, rose. Everything that makes the pain less is good :)

3:20 am

grannyrose

and you? how is the magnesium therapy going? how many tabs are you taking?

3:21 am

sprite

am taking 3x1000mg before sleep and 1x1000 in the morning. Back really is less painful. Feet are killing me though... am wondering... would there be feeling coming back to them??

3:23 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, maybe...try some paracetamol regularly, if you aren't already doing so. *ear to ear grin* so pleased it has helped your back.

3:24 am

sprite

so am I :) Thanks so much, rose.
Yeah, am taking paracetamol regularly. They back up the pain meds anyway.

3:24 am

joso

did your feet lack feeling before, did doc do tickle test?

3:25 am

Jivingjenny0

Hi, can someone help please, I have just looked at lickety clues and cannot find the 8 on there.

3:25 am

sprite

I think Lickety hasn't updated the clues yet, Jjenny.

3:25 am

grannyrose

*just thinking out aloud here* could the magnesium be taking the pressure off your nerves? hence feeling is coming back?

3:25 am

joso

today's lickety is not up yet

3:25 am

grannyrose

jenny, fl8, composite word

3:25 am

3:28 am

joso

3:28 am

grannyrose

keep it quiet, sprite, until you are sure, then spring it on your doctor. would love to be a fly on the wall when you do it.

3:28 am

sprite

grin, joso, yeah

3:29 am

sprite

will do, rose. And if that happens, I will tell you each and every detail :)

3:29 am

sprite

side note: hitman should be valid, and lufa should be an accepted spelling for the sponge.

3:29 am

joso

glad for you sprite, hope it prooves out

3:30 am

sprite

me too, joso!

3:31 am

joso

3:32 am

grannyrose

joso, this is almost a miracle. poor sprite has suffered for so long.

3:32 am

joso

weird that added suffering is a good thing

3:33 am

grannyrose

lol, joso, sprite has FEELING in her feet...that is good.

3:34 am

sprite

we will see how this developes, but am already very happy with the back, rose. And lol, yeah joso, in this case... it might be a sign of nerve endings coming back to life.

3:34 am

joso

I understand, still weird, two steps forward, one back

3:34 am

sprite

story of my life, joso, story of my life :)

3:35 am

sprite

that is why they say it is not the years that count, but the mileage!

3:35 am

joso

maybe cycling is helping too, aditional bloodflow to the legs

3:35 am

sprite

yeah, that could very well be helping too.

3:36 am

sprite

4:08 am

grannyrose

thanx lickety

4:08 am

jmcnrick

what? i meant as opposed to being online!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

orjust as good, dÃ©pends how you look at it, preferably face to face lol

4:08 am

sprite

nice, joso. I only know settlers, but I am not into strategy or war games, so that is to be expected.

4:08 am

jmcnrick

*humpf*

4:09 am

joso

I knew roleplay would set you lot off

4:09 am

sprite

*giggles* Sure you did, jmc, sure you did.

4:09 am

grannyrose

well sprite face-to-face is better than cheek-to-cheek.

4:09 am

jmcnrick

*sulks*

4:09 am

rubyfoo

4:09 am

sprite

cheek-to-cheek requires very nimble limbs, I think... or lonnnnng attributes

4:09 am

joso

yes face to face, ezier to serve dinner that way

4:09 am

sprite

sowwy jmc... couldn't resist... you know me... ;)

4:10 am

jmcnrick

haha laughing in spite of myself

4:10 am

joso

this lot would not be sated by virtual popcorn

4:10 am

sprite

omg joso serves dinner at that time? A 10 for multitasking, but a couple of minuses for focus.

4:10 am

puglet

Hi ya Ruby and jmc was off making coffee

4:11 am

grannyrose

hey ya pugs, xoxox

4:11 am

jmcnrick

o i c. . . i used to have trivial pursuit nights. . .but we played a lot of different games

4:11 am

joso

my turn, i only do the dinner about every 3 months, we rotate that job

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad to see you pugs! I was haunted by your Detroit story yesterday, but couldn't find your e-mail address. Pls send me one, so I can write to you

4:11 am

jmcnrick

hi pug. . . i think i could use the coffee. . . i am clearly not going back to sleep tonight/this morning

4:11 am

sprite

I like adventure games online... my absolute favorite is guildwars.

4:12 am

puglet

4:12 am

joso

tnx lickety by the way

4:12 am

sprite

missed your entry, Lickety, sorry. Thanks for the clues.

4:13 am

jmcnrick

you were too busy making fun of joso and me! haha

4:13 am

puglet

okay jmc--sending you coffee and a roll too

4:13 am

jmcnrick

sprite did you see that i am trying to play lexulous again?

4:13 am

sprite

very true :) God punishes immediately :)

4:14 am

rubyfoo

after 15 years of not mosquitoes, now we have them and I am totally bitten up

4:14 am

jmcnrick

thanks pugs. . .woke up at 4 am for no particular reason. . .

4:14 am

sprite

no I didn't, jmc. Would love to play with you!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

Anybody who denies global wrming gets a smack from me!

4:14 am

jmcnrick

not a good start to the day

4:14 am

sprite

aw poor ruby, you are too sweet to resist for them.

4:14 am

puglet

our weather pattern has changed too Ruby

4:15 am

jmcnrick

i think i started a game with you sprite. . . i stopped for several months because i kept getting frozen out

4:15 am

jmcnrick

i think i started a game with you sprite. . . i stopped for several months because i kept getting frozen out

4:15 am

joso

is it just me or has the butt hole been in every grid this week

4:16 am

rubyfoo

When we first came here, we had a tough winter with lots of snow and ice, a very long and perfect spring, a short but hot and lovely summer (no more than 10 days over 90F, and an ordinary fall. Now it's totally changed

4:16 am

jmcnrick

i was frustrated. . .but now i am just tired of dodging the efforts of disney to get me to buy virtual stuff for their games. . .

4:16 am

rubyfoo

ty ?? joso

4:17 am

sprite

I stopped playing each and every game on fb. Most games pushing to make me buy stuff, and other games freezing up.

4:17 am

joso

4:17 am

sprite

joso, it is not you, it IS the game. Very consistently there, lately.

4:18 am

jmcnrick

oh i am playing lexulous on fb maybe that is why you don't see it. . .

4:18 am

jmcnrick

words tend to come for a period. . . probably has to do with how the program selects new grids. . .

4:18 am

sprite

jmc, will try and connect with you on lexulous.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I do, too, jmc, every evening (your time, 2-4PM)

4:19 am

rubyfoo

but I don't know if we are"friends"

4:19 am

jmcnrick

maybe i will find lexulous outside of fb. . .

4:19 am

rubyfoo

and there are many many Nancy keley and kelly's!

4:19 am

rubyfoo

kelley and kelly

4:20 am

sprite

it is rather random, actually. There is a minimum number of words, and the frequency of each letter is adapted to english. Otherwise, it is a random generator.

4:20 am

jmcnrick

i don't know ruby. . . i will check later and see. . .

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I am hard to find in fb

4:20 am

sprite

why did we stop playing lexulous together, ruby? Always enjoyed our games, though you beat me mercilessly :)

4:20 am

jmcnrick

it is more a progression than actually completely random. . . .letters tend to show up for periods too

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I don't remember, sprite, but I'll start a game with you tonight

4:21 am

jmcnrick

i am easy to find in fb ruby. . .je mcneil in washington dc

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I think you're right, jmc, it doesn'tseem really random to me. But, of course, I'm the least expert of you lot! lol

4:21 am

jmcnrick

the bastards won't let me us initials

4:21 am

sprite

I may be wrong, jmc. As far as I know it is really random and serial things are coincidence... but I could very well be wrong.

4:24 am

sprite

jmc and ruby, I may send you a friend request from my tablet account. That would be Sprite van Dijk. Would be awesome to play lexulous with you in bed, in the evening :)

4:24 am

jmcnrick

well i have noticed the groupings over the years. . .like nene used to be in a lot and then it stopped for a while. . .or there will be a week with one word like joso said showing up. . . so i think there is some logarithmic progression. . . but what do i know? i am a lawyer not a mathmatician. . .

4:24 am

jmcnrick

i would enjoy that too sprite although i tend to be slow. . . have patience with me!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

as ongas it's not face-to-face! lol

4:25 am

rubyfoo

long as*

4:25 am

Dachef

'realy random and serial things are coincidence'. Sounds like this grid.

4:25 am

Soodle

Top o the mornin' to all. :-)

4:25 am

puglet

ruby your request is on the way

4:25 am

rubyfoo

the roblem with fb lex is that the games tend to be one move a day, very slow, but lots of time to think

4:25 am

joso

hey soodle

4:26 am

rubyfoo

4:26 am

jmcnrick

well i think i will go make some coffee. . .the virtual coffee hasn't really done the trick. . .

4:26 am

rubyfoo

Thanks Annie. There is a lot of wisdom in Alice And Wonderland. : )

7:40 am

Anniebrook

I gave my daughter a copy of Alice and she didnt appreciate the book until she was in her 20's.

7:41 am

Anniebrook

there's a lot of wisdom behind Lewis Carroll's words

I think the magic of the story appeals to kids, and the words appeal to grown up kids.

hey jilly allowing myself to sleep in just a little. How is your day going?

9:23 am

good morning aklkl - also slept in today

9:23 am

Jillyjill

LOL, not sleeping in very late stiddy! I am good, going to work the hospital's booth at the fair and then spend the rest of the day at the fair.

9:25 am

stidmama

sounds like a fun day, jilly -- hey teach

9:25 am

Jillyjill

Hi there teach!

9:26 am

stidmama

I love setting up the classroom, but so many tasks I want to get to, including reading through the manuals (but there are a couple of weeks still before we start on the hard stuff)

9:27 am

stidmama

I am SO GLAD I have so many experienced teachers supporting me. Since I am a late hire, they are bending over backwards to help -- sharing their syllabi, so I can easily see the norms and expectations and then add my own language.

9:28 am

stidmama

anyway... help on the P? My last blank tile...

9:28 am

wvteach

what are you teaching stidf

9:28 am

wvteach

don't have the P but will help look

9:30 am

stidmama

down to 44 will be back later when I have a moment.

9:31 am

stidmama

Oh, I hope you get it, phand. I know you will get something, but that waiting bit after the interview is so hard.

9:31 am

Jillyjill

Hope it went well phandmd

9:32 am

Jillyjill

well, am stuck in two places..time for a break. nbt/nbs and 22 left have a great day everyone!!

9:32 am

phandmd

I do feel it went well, but they were interviewing other candidates. I would really like to start and maybe finish my career there. (I am 50 and really only want to work about 10 years. but we will see)

9:34 am

stidmama

We are pretty much contemporaries, phand; but I hope to teach at least 20 or 25 years. Partly because the new mortgage is 31 years.... LOL it will keep me young, I suspect!

9:34 am

stidmama

Jilly, enjoy!

9:35 am

phandmd

nursing is hard physical work. And that is only my ideal world. Probably wont be the case...

9:35 am

I am heading out, too. It's time to see if my code to enter the building works -- or calls the police... :-)

1:38 pm

periwinkle

I was going to go out with my niece tomorrow to a really nice place for brunch. But it is near the Ben Franklin Parkway and there will be a huge concert there with Beyonce. All the major streets will be blocked. So I cancelled and will reschedule for another time. Will get together with her anyway tomorrow

1:38 pm

periwinkle

ty Molls

1:38 pm

MollyL

la + an ig***a is a lizard

1:39 pm

MollyL

I have no use for blocked streets and concert crowds. People actually pay money to see Beyonce?

1:39 pm

periwinkle

ty Molls. I was trying to spell that word but could not get it right

1:40 pm

periwinkle

I believe it is a free concert and the area will be mobbed with people and cars. Not my kind of place.

1:41 pm

periwinkle

and yes people do pay to see her.

1:43 pm

MollyL

I have a hard time with all the energy in crowds. It's stimulus overload for me.

1:51 pm

periwinkle

me too

1:55 pm

periwinkle

I cannot see the ma6/33 even with morewords.

1:56 pm

MollyL

It's like the pa6 if you have that.

1:56 pm

periwinkle

I do and I now have the ma6 ty

1:57 pm

periwinkle

why are they not spelled with double consonant at the end?

1:57 pm

MollyL

Maybe for the same reason beautiful isn't

1:57 pm

periwinkle

maybe

2:04 pm

periwinkle

I have 2 words left. mu5 and ra6 and I cannot even see them in morewords.

2:04 pm

periwinkle

do they make plastic martini glasses?

2:05 pm

penquis

yes, i have seen them...

2:05 pm

penquis

the mu word is an article of clothing, i think...

2:05 pm

periwinkle

ok, I will keep looking.

2:06 pm

MollyL

Oh, ah, no Peri...don't do it. No, no, no to plastic drink glasses.

2:06 pm

cool.girl

hi clues4 the 7s and 8 please

2:07 pm

periwinkle

but I will probably keep them upstairs with me and it is pretty crowded. there is really no where to put them in the kitchen or dining room and I really don't want any one to know when or what I drink.

2:07 pm

penquis

peri...think muslim countries

2:08 pm

periwinkle

good clue, pen. I was going around in circles in the wrong direction.

2:08 pm

penquis

bo 7... ship loaded up to the brim...

2:08 pm

periwinkle

the ra6 pls. my last word.

2:08 pm

MollyL

Some kind of judgmental thing going on in your house Peri?

2:08 pm

penquis

fl 8....think of your roomie in london...

2:08 pm

periwinkle

maybe

2:09 pm

penquis

i don't have the ra 6...sorry

2:09 pm

periwinkle

I really miss my apartment with the balcony. But I am looking into other options.

2:10 pm

periwinkle

does anyone have the ra6?

2:11 pm

rururocks

ra 6 rhymes with what you flip pancakes with

2:11 pm

MollyL

ra6...not walk + last three of Hawaiian dance

2:11 pm

cool.girl

i have the bo7 clue 4 the other

2:11 pm

Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

2:13 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

2:13 pm

MollyL

Hi Min, Hi Soodle.

2:13 pm

penquis

fine thanks...

2:13 pm

Soodle

Hello Min. :-)

2:14 pm

Soodle

Hey Molly :-)

2:14 pm

MollyL

Min, I'm trying to think of a franchise I appreciate.

2:15 pm

Minveryork

McDonald's is a terrible franchise to like, but I can't help it.

2:15 pm

MollyL

Starbucks maybe, but I don't go there often as I tend to brew my own at home.

2:15 pm

rururocks

well Chick-a-filla isn't on my list :D

2:16 pm

Minveryork

There are plenty to choose from. It doesn't have to be food

2:16 pm

Soodle

Pollos Hermanos?

2:16 pm

MollyL

I wish restaurant owners would just keep their yaps shut about their moral beliefs. I hate having to be political about where I eat.

2:17 pm

Minveryork

I have never heard of Chick-a-filla. Must just be where you are rururocks. Is it also a Fast Food chain like Burger King?

2:17 pm

MollyL

Polls Hermanos is a dead duck. RIP.

2:17 pm

rururocks

yes.. and the president is a far, far right christian who has been in the news

2:18 pm

Soodle

Duck? Could have sworn it was chicken. :-P

2:20 pm

MollyL

You're right Soodle, have an A-1 day.

2:20 pm

rururocks

I think i it is a mid-america chain that is opening out here minver

2:21 pm

MollyL

Nope, we have Chik-Fil-A here on the right coast. Maybe just not up in New England.

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

Chick-fil-a I think has alway sbeen very present here in the south. I was pleased that I do nto like their food, so the fact that I also disagree with the morals was not a dining dilemma.

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

hello.

2:22 pm

Minveryork

Hello redturtlehead! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

2:23 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Minver, how are you. I am looking at this one and it is so short!

2:24 pm

rururocks

I'm guessing they don't serve hot dogs at Chik a fila :D

2:24 pm

Minveryork

My absolute love for food supersedes my political beliefs,so I will eat in a place even if I do not believe in their politics.

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

not a chick fil a, the food just isnt that good. Now if it were Bojangles...I'd have a probalem resisting.

2:25 pm

rururocks

I wouldn't. I don't support whacko restaurant owners

2:25 pm

redturtlehead

how are you ru?

2:25 pm

Minveryork

I am well redturtlehead.I am saving my last word for later.

2:25 pm

rururocks

I'm actually doing well red.. how've you been

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

I figure most places are all about the same...I do not like giving support to nut jobs..

2:26 pm

rururocks

me neither.

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

I'm ok. kind of the usua; hot, it's prolonged summer here.

2:26 pm

rururocks

especially the whacko christian right

2:26 pm

rururocks

I was going to ask you about that.. seems like it's been a hot, hot summer there

2:27 pm

toadandtoadette

Another tiny grid.... booo

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

I think it's been average, but its the first one in years that I trained through and so it has been torturous, but...I try to ignore it.

2:28 pm

Minveryork

My parents are VERY,VERY political! When I got married they refused to stay in a hotel because it was across the street from Wal-mart and they cannot stand the sight of Walmart.They stayed in a more expensive hotel instead

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

But I have curtailed any lake swimming due to my irrational fear of ameoba.

2:28 pm

Minveryork

Hi toadandtoadette! How are you doing?Welcome to chog.

2:29 pm

rururocks

ameoba?

2:30 pm

toadandtoadette

Well , yourself?

2:30 pm

Minveryork

I used to swim in my parents' pond all the time. I refuse to go in it now because of all of the algae and muddy bottom

2:31 pm

MollyL

Have you not heard about the brain eating ameoba Ru?
: D

2:31 pm

rururocks

no..

2:31 pm

Soodle

I fear muddy bottoms much more than I fear ameoba(s?)

2:32 pm

MollyL

Yeah, muddy bottoms are not cool. Especially if it is your own muddy bottom.

2:32 pm

rururocks

is that hannibal lecteritis?

2:34 pm

rururocks

If I were swimming in Florida.. I'd more worry about arm and leg eating gators :D

2:35 pm

rururocks

or Jed Bush :D

2:35 pm

Minveryork

Don't need to mention what to worry about if swimming in the ocean or the sea!

2:35 pm

Soodle

Or muddy-bottom- eating gators

2:35 pm

rururocks

Jeb?

2:36 pm

Minveryork

Was just thinking that I thought his name was Jeb&not Jed

2:36 pm

rururocks

what's Jeb short for ?

2:36 pm

Soodle

What part of Florida are you in Red?

2:37 pm

MollyL

Ru is thinking of Jed Clampett. Jeb is short for Jebidiah.

2:37 pm

Minveryork

Parents probably did not know how to spell Jed rururocks

2:37 pm

rururocks

Same thing isn't molly

2:37 pm

Minveryork

John Ellis Bush

2:37 pm

rururocks

LOLOLOL Minver

2:37 pm

Soodle

Ha ha ha Min!

2:37 pm

MollyL

Southern folk use Jeb as a nickname.

2:38 pm

rururocks

I heard the Doctor slapped Barbara Bush when George Jr. came out..

2:38 pm

Soodle

Jebezel? A dyslexic lady of the night?

2:39 pm

Minveryork

Good one Soodle!

2:39 pm

rururocks

yeah soodle she wouldn't know if she was coming or going :D

2:40 pm

MollyL

Yuck it up folks. Meanwhile, I will refrain from mentioning Syria.

2:40 pm

Soodle

<------ See Molly's profile pic!

2:42 pm

rururocks

I have to run errands. You all take care now. Behave yourselves and don't do anything I wouldn't do

2:42 pm

MollyL

Cool Free rein to do whatever we want.

2:43 pm

Soodle

Still not mentioning Syria, but Google John Cleese Syria & read what pops up.....

2:45 pm

MollyL

Okay, I am laughing my ass off. "The English have raised their security level from â€œmiffedâ€ to â€œpeeved.â€

2:46 pm

MollyL

â€œSoon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to â€œIrritatedâ€ or even â€œA Bit Cross."

2:46 pm

MollyL

I don't care if Cleese didn't write it, it's hysterical.

2:47 pm

Soodle

Hat-tip to the author.

2:52 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye rururocks! I'll see you later on in the chog maybe.

2:53 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody here use Dropbox?I am finding it hard to use

2:56 pm

MollyL

No Min and I am very annoyed with what Yahoo has done with their photo attachments.

2:57 pm

Minveryork

What has Yahoo done with their photo attachments. I don't send too many e-mail messages with photo attachments.

2:59 pm

MollyL

They have connected Dropbox to any photos sent via attachment.

3:01 pm

Minveryork

I tried sending a video as an attachment&I could not do it because the file was too large. So then I tried to do it via Dropbox, but then I couldn't get the video to upload to Boxdrop. I do not know, maybe I am doing it wrong.

3:01 pm

Minveryork

I am so not tech savvy!

3:02 pm

MollyL

Have you tried uploading the video to YouTube. That is where I have my best luck with videos. Then you can just share the link with people.

3:03 pm

Soodle

Me too, Min. Dropboxes & instagrams scare me more than muddy bottoms.

3:05 pm

Jillyjill

Hello again babblers! Back to finish...20 to go

3:05 pm

penquis

i use dropbox a lot to keep files accessible from different computers, but i have never tried to use it for photos....

3:07 pm

penquis

i would assume that anyone trying to access photos or files that you put in dropbox would have to have a drop box account, too, though i am not sure of that...

3:07 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log

3:08 pm

penquis

as for putting something in the dropbox, i just open that folder and then drag or cut and paste something into it...

3:08 pm

Jillyjill

Doing well, home for lunch after working the morning shift at our hospital's booth at our county fair.

3:08 pm

Jillyjill

I've used dropbox...you do have to have an account

3:09 pm

penquis

i have it downloaded to my desktops, so I don't have to go to the dropbox website...

3:10 pm

Minveryork

I created a Dropbox account, but now it is telling me to do all of these other things I do not need to do. I have 1 computer.Do not need to do the "share computer" thing

3:11 pm

MollyL

I upload anything I want saved in cyberspace to Amazon's Cloud Service.

3:11 pm

penquis

well i don't know what you have to do to get dropbox to be accessible to other people if you want toshare something...

3:11 pm

Minveryork

Also, what is the point of sharing with computers when you can just access everything from the website on any laptop?

3:12 pm

MollyL

I think Dropbox is like Snapfish, other people have to have an account to utilize photo sharing.

3:12 pm

penquis

well if i write a report on my netbook, i save it to dropbox...then when i am home, i have instant access to the file on my desktop....that's how i use it...

3:13 pm

penquis

no more emailing files to myself, thank goodness!

3:13 pm

MollyL

? Your netbook does not travel with you?

3:13 pm

penquis

and i don't have to go

3:14 pm

penquis

yes, but i don't like to use it if i can use my desktop...netbook is slower, much smaller screen, etc...

3:15 pm

penquis

i use the netbook at the coffee shop, for example....or when i am working in a school and have a few minutes to work on reports....

3:15 pm

Minveryork

I do that all the time. I think that it is just as quick and maybe even easier. I also forward things from my yahoo e-mail to my work e-mail since Yahoo is blocked at my job.

3:16 pm

MollyL

I can log into all my work files from home, so I don't have that problem. And I never found emailing files to myself that cumbersome.

3:16 pm

penquis

at home, i just ciick on the dropbox icon and see all my report files...all are up to date...

3:17 pm

penquis

i never have to replace old drafts with new ones...no confusion....all are up to date...works for me....

3:18 pm

penquis

there are so many tech options now, one just has to find what works best for them and their situation...

3:19 pm

Soodle

<---- Feeling prehistoric. All this technology @ my fingertips, and all I do is email & play Babble.

3:19 pm

3:22 pm

3:23 pm

crosshair

i just use wetransfer.com to send myself stuff from one computer to another especially if the netbook i am using has no port for sd card or any usb port for flash keys.we transfer,com will let me send up to 2 gig free at any time to anyone i wish.in the old days we used to use icq for this because most e--mail services have and still have a small attachment cap

3:27 pm

MollyL

<---Dirty mind. Read that as "wet transfer"

3:28 pm

crosshair

well,type that into your browser if you wish,but i bet you will not get a file transfer app:)

3:30 pm

Soodle

Bless you Molly. A drop of honey & lemon should sort out that nasty tickle!

3:31 pm

Soodle

With a liberal shot of Tullamore Dew!

3:32 pm

MollyL

*Cough* findmeahotirishstud.com *Cough*

3:32 pm

crosshair

well,the honey and lemon may not fix you up but after a few shots of Tullamore Dew ,you will not care in the slightest

3:34 pm

MollyL

Oh and you forgot the prayer site you visit twice daily, Soodle. *Makes the sign of the cross*

3:35 pm

Soodle

Hah! Seriously? You think if I had access to Findmeahotirishstud.com I'd be Babbling on a Saturday night????

3:37 pm

MollyL

Oh well, I'm guessing you never hooked up with Ru's millionaire friends either.

3:37 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..have been to busy ROFL at Molly to even post. But, now must head back to the fair with hubby. We've done Saturday Fair day for 24 years together ...see you all later and have a great day!

3:37 pm

Soodle

The vow of poverty has been cast upon me. The vow of obedience is of no importance to me. The vow of chastity is under active review.

3:42 pm

Soodle

And, clearly the vow of silence is being totally ignored!

3:49 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jillyjill on your fireworks! Hooray for you!

5:46 pm

MollyL

But I'm happy for those who get to enjoy it.

5:46 pm
