I've been on to something called PC Cleaner and I think it's a scam too. I've been working on this for about 5 hours.

12:49 am

jillibus

They want $200 to fix things. Alos, I had to pay for PC Cleaner -- they offered a certain price and now I find they added something I didn't ask for and charged another $20 for it.

12:50 am

jillibus

I hope I can stop payment on my credit card, but of course it's a Sunday coming up. I'm SO tired and upset!

12:51 am

dizgrannie

do the credit card stop NOW

12:51 am

jillibus

I've emailed people I trust who built my puter and I think can really help.

12:52 am

mab

i wonder if restoring to an earlier date would help, jilli

12:52 am

cybernan

did you try doing a system restore to an earlier date?

12:52 am

vashongin

i have un 7 x 3, but still need one more u

12:52 am

jillibus

no -- don't know how.

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

I am short one u, too... un 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8 so far

12:53 am

mab

if you're using windows, you can go to the control panel and find the restore function there.

12:53 am

vashongin

same here dee

12:53 am

cybernan

jill -- are you using windows 7?

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

12:54 am

12:56 am

cybernan

click on the start button and type system restore in the search box - under control panel heading you will see restore computer to an earlier date. Click on that and follow instructions. You will have to shut down all other running programs first.

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

Well, system restore didn't work -- something is corrupted. That Snap.do would not have been removed anyway, it said.

1:12 am

jillibus

What is really upsetting is that it was a good friend trying to help me do address labels who caused this.
s

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

sorry that was obscure

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

might have happened even w/o the friend

1:14 am

jillibus

he missed seeing some small print when installing Java runtim-- I had seen it previously and declined it, but she didn't notice and barged through. I'm going to hold off now and wait for the people who built the computer, hoping they know how to fix it. Otherwise I guess I might be stuck for $200!

1:14 am

ursh

jill - my pc has just been in for repair with software corruptions - very frustrating and no idea what caused the problems

1:16 am

rururocks

did your PC go to Vegas Jilli.. that might have corrupted it

1:16 am

ursh

computer guy downloaded Malwarebytes and told me it was a good malware programme - it is free for downloading and seems to find a lot of "baddies" - maybe worth a try ?

1:16 am

jillibus

No, dee, I saw that okaying that step would have installed Snap.do as my search engine permanently so I didn't do it. Later on she did okay it before I could stop her.

1:17 am

Rows

2:10 am

grannyrose

lol...joso...how are you, mate? finished packing yet?

2:10 am

joso

good god no, will be a while yet, kind of a horder

2:11 am

grannyrose

hmmm, time to discard,do you think??

2:13 am

joso

not quite as bad as to have stacks of newspapers, but lots of books, games, art, computers and computer parts, records

2:14 am

grannyrose

if you haven't used in the last 2 years, chuck it. however, if it's value has increased in the last 2 years...keep it.

2:14 am

joso

selling off 40,000 comics this time

2:15 am

grannyrose

awww, joso...that must be difficult for you.

2:16 am

joso

it is, but just don't have room, and have a computer with a copy of almost ever copy of every comic on it, so can still read them.

2:17 am

grannyrose

but is that the same as having the hard copy?

2:18 am

joso

no, but much easier to store

2:19 am

joso

how are you doing anyway rose

2:19 am

grannyrose

okay. to me that says you would rather read the comics, than own them...am i correct?

2:19 am

grannyrose

*sigh* joso, one day at a time, mate.

2:20 am

joso

trying to hold on to your patience as you await the surgery?

2:23 am

joso

I'd rather have the comics, but a rubens print is almost as good as a rubins. I do like reading them, an interesting media. Like the beatles they became more sophisticated as I grew and needed more.

2:25 am

grannyrose

yup, joso. just took a potty break. and why, oh why, when we are in a deep and meaningful does DH serve dinner?

2:26 am

grannyrose

xoxox, joso, bbl, after dinner

2:26 am

joso

np, have lots of grid to work on, maybe after dindins

2:47 am

grannyrose

okay, have inhaled dinner...mucho delicio...you still here joso, and pugs?

2:49 am

joso

2:54 am

joso

tnx, been hunting that for a while, nice to have that itch scratched

2:55 am

grannyrose

*scratch, scratch* (do you groan like himself?)

2:56 am

joso

noooo, a silent reliever

2:56 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

2:57 am

joso

some of what gets scratched should not have attention drawn to it, in most circumstances.

2:58 am

grannyrose

oh, yah think???

2:58 am

joso

mmmm, yes, yes I do

3:00 am

joso

so is MIL adjusting to to her old reality at all?

3:06 am

grannyrose

lol...joso...show me a man not led by his....oh, yeah, nose...wrong organ

3:07 am

joso

so the other day molly obliquely accuses me of being crossey

3:09 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, not to pay much attention to that babbler..only babbler with their IQ and age in their profile...

3:09 am

Marc Freeman

Is there a list anywhere?

3:10 am

grannyrose

marc, in volleydeemoms profile

3:13 am

joso

I told crossey of this, letting him know if he gets some odd reactions from people this rumor may be why. He responded that their is only one crossey and was going to ask molly what's going on when he next sees her. We haven't seen molly since. lol I'm sure she will resurface sometime though.

3:17 am

Marc Freeman

thanks grannyrose

3:17 am

joso

I wouldn't worry about MIL, your household has been her established norm for a while, having readjusted to it again I wouldn't expect further prob's on that score.

3:19 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for the last fr6, please?

3:20 am

grannyrose

marc, plural of fr5, fr + vowel + South East

3:22 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

3:22 am

grannyrose

joso, so believe there is only one crossie....and only one joso....thank heavens!!

3:23 am

joso

you couldn't handle multiple joso clones running about the place, lol

3:24 am

grannyrose

no way, joso...lolol

3:26 am

joso

no worries, not interested in sharing the glory that is me, even with myself.

3:30 am

grannyrose

watching "the sapphires", what an incredible sound!!!

3:31 am

joso

I saw that, was very good.

3:32 am

grannyrose

they have just arrived in vietnam

3:32 am

joso

captures the era very well

3:33 am

grannyrose

absolutely!

3:33 am

grannyrose

my wonder years!

3:34 am

joso

me too, just missed out on woodstock and seeing the beatles

3:34 am

grannyrose

saw the beatles. went to sunbury...

3:36 am

grannyrose

was one of those frenetic teens screaming and waving in melbourne. * giggle *

3:36 am

joso

Had a friend going to woodstock, asked me along, at 14 I didn't think I would be allowed to go so I passed, regretted it ever since.

3:36 am

grannyrose

yeah...so know what you must be feeling...

3:41 am

joso

as to the beatles asked for tickets for a birthday gift, as there were only rafters tickets left when mom got to the front of the line she passed, said I wouldn't have heard them anyway due to the screaming girls, so it's all your fault. I think I was about 3 years too young to get some of the best stuff of the times, though maybe it kept me out of trouble.

3:44 am

grannyrose

awww, poor joso....

3:46 am

joso

*sniff sniff.... bwaaaahh*

3:47 am

joso

almost over it now, hard to hold a grudge with a dead parent. would love to be able to say i saw the beatles though.

3:48 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} joso. *hands him a tissue* suck it up, man

3:50 am

joso

or went to woodstock, instead of holding up an almost touching thumb and forefinger and saying 'I came this close' I have this self image of bond, but the reality is so much more like maxwell smart, lol

3:51 am

Volta

Good morning - don't worry, Joso. My mother was also never allowed to see The Beatles, because my grandmother maintained that their hair was too long

3:52 am

grannyrose

lolol, joso...aww poor volta....

3:53 am

joso

oy, hard to remember those attitudes these days. today is sooo much more casual

3:54 am

Volta

Poor Volta's mother, really! Poor POOR Volta because by the time I was born, the Beatles weren't even a thing ;)

3:55 am

grannyrose

ahhh, poor volta's mum....

3:57 am

joso

I wonder what victorians would think of bell bottoms. Catching a glimpse of an ankle was the thing in those days. bells obscured the ankles well, of course from the knee up they were painted on.

4:00 am

joso

are either of you watching the masters and johnson show?

4:02 am

Volta

I think we all have mixed feelings about bell bottoms ;) and hm, what would that show be, Joso?

4:06 am

joso

new cable program about the people who did the sex study in the 50's, well done. Amazing they got so much right in the study as masters is so trapped by the paradigm of the times. Seems much is owed to johnson, the non professional but much more practical partner. interesting view of the times

4:09 am

Volta

Oh, that sounds very interesting. I doubt we'd get it on TV here though! Perhaps I'll look it up

4:09 am

joso

where are you?

4:10 am

A*n*i*t*a

Morning babblers

4:10 am

grannyrose

cooee anita

4:10 am

joso

let me guess, oz or new zealand

4:10 am

joso

hi anita

4:11 am

A*n*i*t*a

Just reading some of the chat history! Oh to have been around then,

4:12 am

A*n*i*t*a

Or should I say old enough to have participated

4:13 am

o-o

the fun spot of southeast asia made getting to woodstock problematical

4:13 am

joso

something tells me you would have likes the psychadelic sixties, could it be.... your icon du du duhh

4:13 am

Volta

Oh no, I live in Finland! Much of our TV is American and English though, of course, with subtitles.

4:14 am

A*n*i*t*a

Lol Joao, was a 60,s child

4:16 am

joso

oh, such a fascinating country, very interesting history. I've always liked how you gave russia a bloody nose in the winter war.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody {{rosie}}

4:16 am

joso

hey ruby

4:17 am

worzel

Gooooooooooood morning everybody xx Would somebody let me know how many words today please? xx

4:17 am

joso

4:17 am

A*n*i*t*a

4:17 am

Volta

Hee hee! Nobody has ever said that to me before, Joso. Thank you!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I read over the chog and, although I was old enough to go to Woodstock and even lived in NY State, I was already married :(

4:17 am

worzel

ty joso and anita xx

4:17 am

rubyfoo

hello joso "way, joso"

4:18 am

rubyfoo

Volta, we, too, get many US and UK TV shows with Fr subtitles

Quin

4:19 am

grannyrose

{{{hugs}}} ruby darling

4:19 am

A*n*i*t*a

Oops sorry, me and this iPad are a disaster

4:20 am

Volta

Do you find that you listen to the English, or are you, like me, inexplicably drawn to the subtitles? I -know- I understand the English, but my eyes just wander to the words...

4:21 am

rubyfoo

it is necessity here. My husband is deaf,so he reads the subtitles whle I listen to the words although sometimes, it it's slow eough, I compare the words with the lame translations

4:21 am

grannyrose

volta, DH buys so many DVD's, all with sub-titles. and that is my main objection...watching the sub-titles, i lose track of the film.

4:23 am

Volta

Oh yes, the subtitles are often so weak compared to the dialogue!
And Grannyrose, I quite agree. They are somehow so compelling!

4:23 am

joso

but on a dvd you can turn off the subtitles

4:24 am

grannyrose

and not understand the dialogue, joso...*sigh* caught between the devil and the hard place.

4:24 am

joso

ah, not english films

4:25 am

rubyfoo

ooh, just found the 9 on my own! yay

4:26 am

grannyrose

yay, ruby...nice job

4:26 am

joso

worth the trouble though, the scandinavian girl with the dragon tattoo was so much better than the hollywood version

4:27 am

grannyrose

ummm, have to agree, joso...loved the girl with the dragon tattoo.

4:29 am

grannyrose

and the other...house of the flying daggars

4:30 am

joso

Manon of the Spring is also one I am thankful to have seen due to subtitles

4:32 am

grannyrose

not seen that, joso

4:34 am

o-o

anyone a fan of Mogen David and the Grapes of Wrath?

4:35 am

grannyrose

o-o, the wine or the symbol?

4:36 am

o-o

the band

4:36 am

joso

an older french one, about the machinations to get a bit of land that has a hidden spring. gets very machiavellian, you would thing it was the great powers going for oil in the mideast

4:36 am

grannyrose

not seen it, you have a link??

4:37 am

grannyrose

interesting joso

4:38 am

joso

4:45 am

grannyrose

okay, 45 minutes since pumpkin time. thanx o-o and joso. you have both given me something to look for...hope you both have a good one...me?? sleep looks good.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

whoops, elbow hit the "something" key

6:29 am

rubyfoo

hello volta

6:29 am

sprite

brrr crossy, indeedydeed. COLD!

6:30 am

rubyfoo

it finally stopped raining and there is a very wan sun

6:30 am

rubyfoo

probably warmer inFinland

6:30 am

Volta

Hello again, Crosshair :) I didn't mention it at the time, because I didn't want to draw attention, but I was very impressed with how you handled that unpleasantness yesterday. I thought you were very noble.

6:30 am

crosshair

we just have to get used to it all again,sprite.soon it will be minus 25- minus 30c and we will be out there skiing and snowshoeing and all the rest of it

6:30 am

sprite

here as well, ruby. But darn darn cold. Am sitting with a shawl around my neck, grin.

6:31 am

sprite

unpleasantness? What happened yesterday?

6:31 am

Volta

And hello again, Rubyfoo, my fellow subtitle-reader ;)

6:31 am

rubyfoo

Imissed what h appened yesterday. How in the world could crossy be involved in anything unpleasant????? Impossibe!

6:31 am

crosshair

wy,tyvm,volta.was just trying to defuse the situation

6:31 am

crosshair

lol,ruby

6:31 am

sprite

nah, not here, alas, crossy :) This is the Netherlands. Cold winds, lots of rain, and maybe snow and ice later on.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

<-- has a sweater wrapped around my neck as well as several other layers

6:32 am

Volta

There was just a player making cruel comments to others here. I'm sure it's no surprise to you, but Crosshair was very dignified and civil through the whole thing. It's the best way to be!

6:33 am

sprite

crossy rocks big time. Who was the unpleasant player?

6:33 am

crosshair

never descend to thier level,they will just beat you with experience lol

6:33 am

sprite

roflol crossy. I like that one.

6:33 am

crosshair

i stole that one from mark twain

6:33 am

rubyfoo

cruel comments to Crossy? Let me at 'em!!!

6:34 am

rubyfoo

If you're gonna steal, Mark Twain is a perfect source!

6:34 am

crosshair

lol,our little ruby is feisty this morning:))

6:34 am

sprite

*gently leashes ruby* Calm, calm, you little fire cracker! :)

6:34 am

crosshair

well,he has so many good ones

6:34 am

Volta

Maybe it's the best thing if I don't say the name :) I don't know the player, so maybe they were having a really bad day and might apologise quietly later. Nobody likes a newbie who can't wind their neck in!

6:34 am

crosshair

yes,best just let the name alone for now

6:35 am

rubyfoo

"Reports of my death have been exaggerated"

6:35 am

ah but crossy can tell me. Don't let me read the whole chog!

6:35 am

reports of my death have been egerly anticipated lol

6:35 am

rubyfoo

hahaH, FELL OF MY CHAIR

6:35 am

Volta

lol!

6:35 am

crosshair

ruby mixed her meds again!!!

6:36 am

sprite

wasn't it mark twain as well who had that brilliant saying about his father? Like his father was a complete idiot when twain was 17, and how amazed he was at 23 how much the man had learned in 5 years time?

6:36 am

crosshair

lol,like i say,he has all the good sayings

6:36 am

sprite

lol crossy

6:36 am

rubyfoo

if not for my meds, I'd probably get a loaded gun and starty shooting lawyers/!

6:36 am

crosshair

have you read his autobiography yet?

6:37 am

crosshair

it is on my to do list

6:37 am

sprite

you would be in your rights, ruby, I am sure of it. There is some clausule about being greatly provoked, right?

6:37 am

crosshair

besides,they do not put little old ladies in prision.get the gun and have some fun

6:38 am

rubyfoo

ya think? The lawyer keeps saying that they do!

6:38 am

Volta

Oh, some of these non-words are so sad. I would hope there would be an award for the 'floundiest' flounder.

6:38 am

crosshair

and if they do you will be the cell block hero for bagging a few lawyers

6:38 am

sprite

well, even if there were, Volta, it would still be a phantom :( That superlative ending is useless today.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

no, sprite, I used it for dr9

6:39 am

sprite

oh... never mind me, Volta... babble blindness here. There is another route to the superlative, now I see it.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

hahah

6:40 am

Volta

oh - thanks for that one, Rubyfoo!

Volta

Does anybody know if the player VolleyMomDee ever talks here? Her lists are so helpful, it'd be nice to thank her.

6:53 am

hurshy

yeah but mostly around flip time

6:53 am

sprite

she is part of the flip crew, Volta. 00.00 gridtime and up.

6:53 am

sprite

hi hursh :)

6:54 am

hurshy

hi *sniff*

6:54 am

sprite

you sad, have a cold or both?

6:54 am

hurshy

cold

6:54 am

sprite

in either case... hot chicken soup coming up.

6:55 am

Volta

Oh, thank you both :) I think that's perhaps 7am my time, so hopefully one day I'll be awake to thank her.

6:55 am

sprite

*hugs hurshy* Just got over one. Lousy thing to have.

6:55 am

hurshy

ty

6:56 am

sprite

yeah, 7 am is doable. Same for me here, flip is at 7 am for me.

6:56 am

Volta

Oh! Time zone pals

6:56 am

sprite

I used to play at fliptime. But am not finding it fun anymore. Some people want to do a race, and others spam the whole chog full of clues.

6:56 am

sprite

we are :)

6:57 am

Volta

Oh, that sounds a little intense. I can't imagine racing with this! I'm the player who more or less accidentally flops over the finish line.

6:58 am

Uneaixoise

spamming clues? . . . bummer . . . just thought it was fun to share the biggies

6:58 am

sprite

hiya Une! Yeah, some people think so. I don't. I like to find some stuff for myself.

6:58 am

hurshy

biggies stats sure but people have taken it way beyond that i think

6:59 am

sprite

yeah it is intense nowadays. More relaxed later in the day.

6:59 am

Uneaixoise

yeah, I was referring to stats not clues

6:59 am

sprite

I agree, hursh. Up to 6 letter words, and endless lists.

7:00 am

Uneaixoise

well, the lists are posted when there's no lickety

7:02 am

Uneaixoise

ok . . I'll keep my comments to myself

7:02 am

hurshy

no need to do that

7:03 am

hurshy

room for different feelings here

7:03 am

sprite

also when there is lickety. It is a pity, but it is not to my liking anymore. Am glad I found a time when it still is fun for me, with nice people too :)

7:03 am

sprite

Une, we don't have to agree on everything, do we? I still love you just as much ;)

7:04 am

MimiCat

Agreeing to disagree? What a novel idea.

7:04 am

hurshy

is it just me or is this an awesome grid

7:05 am

sprite

it is, hursh, with a lovely bite to it.

7:05 am

sprite

you think so, MimiCat? And hello.

7:05 am

MimiCat

Yes, hurshy...liking it very much.

7:05 am

Volta

Hello again, MimiCat

7:06 am

MimiCat

Hello, everyone! Volta, how are you liking Babbleland so far?

7:06 am

Volta

Well - I'm still here! ;) I'm having a lot of fun, thank you

7:07 am

hurshy

my cats don't understand about fall back - brb

7:07 am

sprite

*grin* neither does our Terra. Takes a while to get him on our new schedule.

7:08 am

MimiCat

I felt bad that you had to be exposed to our less than kind participant o-o (aka BR) last time I was here. Many of us just try to ignore him.

7:09 am

sprite

and some of us don't. Rather cheap comment, that one, MimiCat.

7:10 am

MimiCat

You had no way of knowing how cruel his comment to me was...but my hero crossy, per usual, had my back!

7:10 am

Haz1558

Maybe the new people need to be told that o-o/BR is a longstanding member here. He has made no secret of his mental health problems nor has he disguised the fact that his experiences in Vietnam have had a profound effect on him.

7:10 am

MimiCat

My comment was cheap, sprite? You should have seen what he said to me...it would have even made your blood boil.

7:10 am

Haz1558

We're all terrribly tolerant of other people's outbursts. If o-o annoys you, yes, ignore him, don't carry on a campaign against him.

7:11 am

sprite

amen to that, Haz. It is so easy to judge and feel superior. Too bad it is a lot harder for some to allow for different backgrounds and dispositions.

7:11 am

sprite

Exactly. No need for talking behind people's back.

7:12 am

MimiCat

Just because he has issues does not excuse him from observing common courtesy and respect.

7:12 am

Haz1558

Knowing he has problems should perhaps give the signal not to engage in confrontation with him.

7:12 am

sprite

and just because you have issues does not excuse you from staying away from gossip and talking behind people's backs.

7:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't think there is anyone here who has the right to cast stonesl not one. wich is not the same as dealing with something one finds offensive. there are at least two people here who have made very intolerant comments about religion. "just joiking", of course. which does not change things.

7:13 am

MimiCat

As you know, sprite, I very much appreciate other backgrounds and points of view. I do, however, draw the line at tolerating cruelty.

7:14 am

sprite

it is prettry cruel to try and set up people against eachother. And no, I don't know about your tolerance, personally. I just don't like what you did just now.

7:15 am

MimiCat

Absolutely, TO. And in that light, I think I also have the right to express myself. I was just sad that Volta had to experience that venom when there was really no reason for it in the first place.

7:16 am

sprite

hi TOwl, sometimes people can say very hurtful or stupid things, I agree. But it is very different, not liking someone's words or bringing down a person.

7:18 am

MimiCat

I'm going to get some breakfast and excuse myself from this for now as it is not the tone I intended to create. Have a good Sunday, everyone.

7:18 am

Volta

In a community of smart and different people, heads will knock. I hope that this player may find some peace, and we can all be gentle. As a newbie, I think that's all I feel qualified to say! But I am certain that MimiCat meant well. Everybody has been very welcoming.

7:18 am

Ouwachita

how many words today?

7:18 am

72 Temple Owl

all: i am not taking any sides here. except against venom and intolerance. I've lost my temper on occasion, and i;ve told jokes that have fallen flat or been misinterpreted. . But i do know it is a loss of temper and not my right to free speech. the tone of chog makes me just want to lurk nearly always. and now i will go about my day.

7:18 am

sprite

hi Ouwachita, 223 today

7:18 am

Ouwachita

ty sprite

7:18 am

MimiCat

Thank you, Volta...I appreciate your understanding.

7:18 am

sprite

bye Towl, have a lovely day

7:19 am

sprite

am glad you feel welcome, Volta. This is a great community, as a whole.

7:20 am

Haz1558

And I am off to serve lunch. Bye for now.

7:21 am

sprite

bye Haz, thanks for pitching in. Enjoy lunch and have a great day.

7:21 am

Haz1558

Will do! Toodle-oo.

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

bye, haz.

7:23 am

Volta

It sure seems to be. When words are merely typed and not said, there is so much room for interpretation, so I am glad that so many people here seem to take a deep breath before responding! The rest of the web could learn a lot here...starting with youtube, I think!

7:24 am

sprite

argh yes, indeed, grin. Some people here are often misunderstood because they are very 'tongue-in-cheek'. Impossible to tell from written text, though you do get a feel for people after a while. I think it is wise to never talk behind people's backs. If you have an issue, work it out between the two of you. Much better for the whole community.

7:25 am

hurshy

did you see the day when i was doing a colbert and pretending to think that poor people don't deserve health care, and crossy thought i was serious at first? lol - luckily that was an easy one to clear up.

7:26 am

sprite

lol indeed! There should be a smiley for irony and one for sarcasm.

7:26 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry, one thing: if i have taken some one on who is here and worked it out, it is worked out. no grudge. just to be clear.

7:27 am

sprite

I like that in you, TOwl.

awww that sounds so sw5.

7:36 am

McLeach

kittens are so much fun, Bzzn :)

7:36 am

BzznBea

McLeach, close to my last name.

7:37 am

McLeach

my username?

7:37 am

BzznBea

My last name is Leach.

7:37 am

McLeach

ah, gotcha

7:37 am

sprite

kittens are awesome. Am just reading a series about a wizard and he got landed with a kitten himself... carries it around everywhere he goes... still thinks it is only temporary. Doesn't realise cats pick their humans and not the other way around.

7:38 am

crosshair

our cats almost have us fully trained now

7:38 am

McLeach

cats pick their everything ;)

7:38 am

sprite

lol, true Mc Leach

7:38 am

sprite

but you are smart people, crossy. Your cats picked well.

7:38 am

crosshair

:)

7:42 am

BzznBea

I must have sucker written all over my face then.

7:42 am

welki

'morning, crew

7:42 am

McLeach

g'morning welki

7:42 am

sprite

no way, Bea. I think they read "true lover of cats" and made their move.

7:42 am

sprite

hiya welki :)

7:42 am

crosshair

well,must thing on some plans for breakfast..how does russet taters cubed and pan fried all crispy and golden in butter with diced valencia onions, jumbo over easy eggs, a rasher or 2 of hickory smoked,maple kissed bacon and toasted english muffins with three fruit marmalade sound?

7:43 am

crosshair

howdy,welki

7:43 am

McLeach

lol, Bzzn - ours sure think we do

7:43 am

sprite

sounds like a dream, crossy. Not sure it would be healthy though!

7:43 am

BzznBea

First we dig Walden out from behind the wall in our house. Now we have these five kittens that I pulled off of their feral mother.

7:43 am

Volta

Ohhh, Crosshair. Crying because I had muesli.

7:43 am

crosshair

all the best things are bad for you

7:44 am

crosshair

see,i should be eating what volta ate

7:44 am

sprite

see... true cat lover. I knew it.

7:44 am

hurshy

i gots a mitty face right by my face

7:44 am

hurshy

we is having a cuddle

7:45 am

Volta

Only rabbits should be eating what I ate! Breakfast isn't as much of an event in Europe as it is in North America, I think. An American breakfast can make me weep with joy.

7:45 am

BzznBea

Then there is the momma cat and her first litter, five + one she adopted, all living on our back porch.

7:46 am

hurshy

but crossy breakfasts on a regular basis will clog the arteries

7:46 am

crosshair

back in a minute,i best get in the kitchen and rattle some pans.volta,here in this household,breakfast is a event,the big get together for the family for the day beofre we head off and do our own thing.lunch is soups and stews or grilled cheese and dinner is just an afterthought with light picking at best

7:47 am

crosshair

i go by the creedo 'eat breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper"

7:48 am

crosshair

so,the muesli may be for dinner here :)

7:48 am

sprite

aw Bea, it is kitten paradise with you!

7:49 am

BzznBea

I don't call it paradise, sprite.

7:49 am

sprite

they say that is the best way to set up one's meals, crossy. Though I still think we should go easy on the bacon and cheese, grin.

7:49 am

BzznBea

Love cats, but this is out of control.

7:50 am

hurshy

are you finding homes for some of them?

7:50 am

sprite

yeah, it sounds a bit muchish. But bless your heart.

Hi Volta. Are you in Sweden?

Volta

Oh, hi, ChrissieDee. Close - I'm in Finland

10:47 am

Close enough

10:48 am

Volta

But right by the border, so I think you get half points!

10:49 am

ChrissieDee

I've not been on at the same time as you yet but I've picked up a few clues while trawling for clues - lingonberry, snow and time zone 1 hour ahead of uk :)

ChrissieDee

Thanks for the half points :)

I din't think I've spotted any other babblers from you part of the world

10:52 am

Volta

Oh, you've been a detective! And, that's great...I think Swedish men are quite lovely to look at ;)

10:53 am

Volta

That doesn't surprise me; there is not the same emphasis on learning English here as in other parts of Europe. Lucky for me, I was made to learn it! I have a very adamant mother.

10:53 am

ChrissieDee

Yes, they make a lovely couple. Who knows, I may have cute grandkids some day!

10:54 am

Volta

That's wonderful :) where did they meet?

10:55 am

ChrissieDee

Very foresighted of her. We English are so lazy (in general) at learning other languages

Wow! Like a fairy tale. I bet you were surprised! That must have been a great semester; Gothenburg is a beautiful city

Anyway, lovely to meet you. Off to the kitchen now, bbl

12:36 pm

rururocks

google frozen wine grapes in Germany nancy

12:36 pm

NANCY

got another clue for it

12:37 pm

dcseain

a sweet German wine made from grapes that have frozen on the vine

12:38 pm

NANCY

well google did it for me thanks for the lead

12:39 pm

NANCY

actually sounds good, would like a glass of it right about now

12:40 pm

rururocks

it is unbelievably sweet stuff nancy

12:40 pm

NANCY

well probable wouldn't like it then, don't like too sweet wine

12:41 pm

dcseain

a nice dessert treat now and again, but honey-like sweetness.

12:41 pm

NANCY

probably

12:41 pm

rururocks

it's thick too

12:41 pm

dcseain

yes, syrupy.

12:42 pm

NANCY

well, might as well have a teaspoon of honey then

12:42 pm

rururocks

...not to mention being incredibly expensive :D

12:42 pm

NANCY

who drinks this stuff then?

12:43 pm

NANCY

or should I say spoons this stuff

12:43 pm

rururocks

wine collectors

12:43 pm

dcseain

It's drinkable. Many people, which is why it's so expensive.

12:44 pm

rururocks

it is kind of a rare thing for the conditions to make such a wine

12:46 pm

NANCY

well, would probably sample it just for the fun of it but doesn't sound like anything really enjoyable to drink on a regular basis.

12:46 pm

rururocks

yeah.. I've had a few in my career..they are interesting..in the intensity and richness.. but the sugars are too high for me to enjoy more than just a taste

12:47 pm

NANCY

if I am going to indulge in sugar, give me chocolate every time

12:50 pm

rururocks

chocolate is the easy way out :D

12:50 pm

NANCY

out of what?

12:51 pm

rururocks

a sweet tooth

12:52 pm

NANCY

oh, I think it is the best way to satisfy my sweet tooth. Everyone has a different preference. Mine is semi-sweet chocolate.

12:53 pm

rururocks

mine unfortunately is ice cream.. one of my vices

12:53 pm

bichon

id

12:54 pm

NANCY

oh yeah, I like that too but I have found if I limit my serving to one Klondike bar, it satisfi

12:54 pm

satisfies my craving and is not a whole lot of calories like a bowl of ice cream

It's three a.m. in the morning,
The train whistle is blowin'.
It sounds like some lonesome song got in my soul,
In my soul.
My baby spent the bank and he won't be back no more.

My baby thinks he's a train.
He makes his whistle stop, then he's gone again.
Sometimes it's hard on a poor girl's brain,
A poor girl's brain.
I'm tellin' you, boys, my baby thinks he's a train.

Locomotion's the way he moves.
He drags me 'round just like an old caboose
I'm tellin' you, girls, that man's insane.
My baby thinks he's a train.

Luddites were a group of workers who followed a man by the name of Ludd and protested the factories that put many out of work and paid starvation wages. They would break into factories at night and smash the equipment.

Oh, that sounds lovely! Winter sunsets can be so stunning, especially when the sky is clear. At this point though, our sun is setting about about half past three, sigh!

eastern Canada is the same latitude as northern California. We are close to the 49th parallel

well done scrabbler - I've managed to put that chore off until tomorrow

It was lightly snowing too and that was my best motivation to get those leaves into the woods.

hot water, a cup of tea, maybe some methocarbamol ...

you are lucky you can dump them -- around here we have to bag everything -- dumped leaves and pine needles create too much fuel for forest fires.

4:48 pm

I raked leaves onto a large tarp then dragged the tarp to the edge of the woods.

4:50 pm

I am afraid that I will not be able to get myself out of the bathtub, Bea, because I am so sore.

4:50 pm

BzznBea

That's the way Hubs does it, Scrabs. However, this year he has decided to muclh them with the lawn mower and let them "nourish" the lawn.

4:51 pm

Mulching would be ideal.

9:49 pm

i have a theory, and here it is: The Q has a 5 under it, but when the game scores it, it only scores 4

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT bdg!!

9:49 pm

gapeach

Only 3 left.....didn't think I would get this far.

9:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no7 = n + not yours but ***s + adjective ending

9:52 pm

Jillyjill

Why you eat ga

9:52 pm

Sam

The QU scores 5, which means the eq7/40 is correct.

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

LOL....sure, I just now see the nu5/6 combo....LOL

9:54 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much y'all.

9:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

a 7/40 can have a 4-point letter in it, but not a five. AFAIK. Also, check out the re8/55, which also has a 8 scored as a 4

9:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oops, i meant a Q scored as a 4

9:54 pm

gapeach

That was the last one. Thanks for all the wonderful clues. See y'all at the flip.;

hi, 73 to go

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

7,28 = all 1s
7,32 = one 2
7,36 = one 3, or two 2s
7,40 = one 4, or a 3 and a 2, or three 2s

9:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i don't see how there can be a 5-point letter in a 7/40, unless the Q is really only worth 4 points

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's only a computer program, and it might have an error in it

9:59 pm

torgone

Q U is two letters

10:00 pm

harpjane

The q is worth 3 and the U is worth 2. They used to be separate tiles. Dr. God The All Knowing combined them to make the grids work better.

10:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Babble doesn't score the U separate from the Q

10:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it was always a Qu, at least in babble. but it is irrelevant if they used to be separate

10:02 pm

Jillyjill

missing the 2nd qu6/27, clue plz

10:02 pm

harpjane

no no no no Gwen, in the way back they were two separate letters.

10:02 pm

dcseain

Though that means no qats, qadi, qadis nor suqs.

10:02 pm

harpjane

that is correct dc, and that really suqs

10:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

qu + not out + latin name for the sun s**

10:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it is irrelevant if they used to be separate

10:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oops, i meant boggle, not babble. (now i'm babbling)

10:04 pm

harpjane

I just happen to remember the day when Dr. God announced that he was changing it.

10:04 pm

gemini_J13

qu = 5 + 5 1 pt letters = 7 letters,, 10 points,, 7/40

10:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you're missing the point here. a 7 letter word with one 5-point tile in it should score 44 points.

10:04 pm

harpjane

oh, thank god, Gwen has validated my memory!

10:08 pm

score is not based on tiles, it's base don letters

10:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(if this game scored more like boggle it wouldn't be so confusing) LOL

10:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, if the score were based on tiles, then eq7 should be 27 points. (brain-tilt!)
