puglet

3:44 am

joso

3:45 am

puglet

3:46 am

Anniebrook

chicken kiev is a drumstick or breast stuffed with a roll of frozen butter and sauteed with garlic and dill

3:46 am

grannyrose

pugs and joso, kiev is a chicken fillet rolled and covered in bread crumbs. can be filled with garlic butter or cheeses. very yummy.

3:46 am

puglet

3:49 am

Anniebrook

3:49 am

joso

g'night annie

3:49 am

sprite

feeling pretty shitty today. Guess the bug is winning.

3:51 am

puglet

ahh, hugs Sprite---no group or outing for you tomorrow

3:52 am

joso

this site will perk you up sprite; http://tinyurl.com/l77lrj6

3:52 am

puglet

unless its to the doctor

3:52 am

sprite

nope, am afraid not. Am feverish. Next week.

3:55 am

sprite

will check it out later, joso, I have to sign up and I just did, and now it wants me to tell them what I want to explore. Takes too much time now. Thanks though :)

3:56 am

sprite

doctor? Nah. When I go to the doctor I will be better in a week. And if I don't go, it will take 7 daysl.

3:57 am

joso

sorry sprite, didn't realize it was so much trouble

3:57 am

puglet

just beware with that flu bug please. Some are kind of bad-ass

3:58 am

sprite

it is great of you to find me something to perk me up, joso. You couldn't know I wasn't connected to StumbleUpon yet. *hugs*

3:58 am

sprite

I got a shot against the really bad ones, pug, no worries. This is just a bug that loves me too much.

3:59 am

sprite

enough about me. How are my friends doing today? How is the room coming along, rose? And how are you managing the pain and the lesser meds? Pugs, how are you and your sister doing? And joso, how are you yourself?

4:00 am

puglet

Iam fine and dandy today---jammin out to some 50 music

4:01 am

sprite

wooooot pug! Good for you. Nothing like the old Rock n roll times for music.

4:01 am

puglet

right now the song sugar shack is on

4:02 am

sprite

that is really old style RnR... the best there is :)

4:03 am

puglet

yeah, LOL- I can pretend Iam playing the piano or guitar along with then and no one is the wiser of my sillyness

4:03 am

puglet

the postman is on now

4:03 am

sprite

or the flute, with the sugar shack... that funny little flute in between the lines.

4:03 am

grannyrose

sprite, never enough about you dear. don's car is full as a goog(egg). he will off load at the charity shop tomorrow, and ask them about a truck to collect the furniture. he has been wonderful. he has cleaned a beautiful rug we bought the MIL which she covered in food and drink spills.next step wash/dry clean the curtains.and wash the walls.

4:04 am

sprite

wow, so much progress, rose! You will be living cool and roomy in no time now.

4:05 am

puglet

pretty soon that room will have a echo in it--lol

4:06 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite. small step backwards he4. i tossed and turned all night because the pain became too bad. so i have upped the ante again. will try again next weekend. i am so disappointed.

4:08 am

sprite

(((((((rose)))))))
sweetie, please don't be. The fact that you tried is worth a lot already. You wil get there when you can, as soon as you can. Being in too much pain is not going to help, so very wise of you to up the meds for now.

4:11 am

grannyrose

thanx dearest. i really appreciate your support and wise counsel...and pugs too. you both are so comforting.

4:12 am

puglet

even when we are on your case? lol

4:12 am

sprite

*hugs rose* That's cuz we luv u hun :)

4:12 am

grannyrose

even when you are on my case...because i know it's because you care.

4:12 am

puglet

I need help on my last (4) words whenever you get yours Sprite

4:13 am

puglet

yes we do(seconding what Sprite said)

4:13 am

joso

OMG rose is not supergirl, all my illusions are shattered

4:13 am

sprite

pug, feel free to ask! I don't mind some clues, I just don't like too much of them.

4:13 am

sprite

lolol joso!

4:13 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, joso. thank-you my dearest iconoclast.

4:14 am

joso

you gave it an honest try, really how high a bar do you set for yourself

4:15 am

puglet

Iam missing one ap5/12(got the one that rhymns with part of a book)

4:15 am

grannyrose

waaaay up there, joso. over the rainbow!

4:15 am

grannyrose

ap5, ap + ***ra firma

4:16 am

sprite

it comes from being raised by a narcissistic parent, joso. Only 100% perfect is good enough, and then only just.

4:16 am

joso

ap5 more apropos

4:16 am

grannyrose

nope, it's the plural of someone who copies

4:17 am

joso

yea, well get your legs working before you try running the high hurtles, sheesh

4:17 am

sprite

ah, the monkey impersonators. Thanks rose.

4:17 am

grannyrose

*snuggles into sprite* why couldn't you have been my mummy??

4:18 am

puglet

got it--ths

4:18 am

sprite

would gladly have been, rose! And vice versa. *hugs*

4:18 am

puglet

now te6/21

4:18 am

grannyrose

yeah....consider it done, sprite, hun

4:19 am

grannyrose

te + colour + circle

4:19 am

puglet

if you had a different mummy, then you wouldnt be you

4:20 am

grannyrose

true, pugs...but maybe i would have been...as i try very hard not to be like my own mother. who knows?

4:20 am

puglet

ty, 2 more to go----am I bothering you Sprite

4:20 am

joso

yea rose, sorry you had a rough trip, but i'm very happy with what arrived

4:21 am

grannyrose

*smiling at an amazing friend* thanx, mate

4:21 am

sprite

not at all, pug!

4:22 am

sprite

I think you would always have been you, rose. Just a bit more carefree. And with less understanding for other people's suffering. Cause that is the gain we get for going through rough trips.

4:22 am

puglet

okay then--my last 2 are pe6/21 and a go5/16(i got the horn one)

4:23 am

grannyrose

more of the pe4/5

4:24 am

grannyrose

go5, the man upstairs + alien who phoned home.

4:24 am

sprite

I very very much love that clue, rose

4:24 am

grannyrose

a bit ironic though, sprite

4:24 am

puglet

thank you! thats fws for me! :)

4:25 am

sprite

wtg pug!!!!!

4:25 am

grannyrose

WTG PUGLET!!!!

4:25 am

puglet

now I can just enjoy you guys

4:25 am

puglet

thanks

4:25 am

sprite

true. Guess I like ironic :)

4:25 am

grannyrose

going to get meds ready.

4:26 am

sprite

ok rose, see you soon

4:26 am

puglet

okay Rose

4:26 am

puglet

Sprite is this flu throwing your sugar out of whack

4:27 am

o-o

Is Ironic the Most Abused Word in English?

4:27 am

sprite

totally, pug. It is uncontrollable atm. Spikes up and plummets down and back again.

4:27 am

puglet

GOOD MORNING OO

4:27 am

sprite

probably not, o-o, but close. Glad to see you!

4:28 am

puglet

when sister is sick it does the same to her

4:28 am

o-o

http://blog.dictionary.com/ironic/

4:28 am

puglet

I think love is--OO

4:30 am

sprite

will check it out later, o-o, thanks for the link.

4:30 am

puglet

there are probably lots of word abused by people

4:31 am

sprite

as far as I know, ironic means saying one thing while meaning the opposite, it is often a bit humorous and not cutting like sarcasm.

4:31 am

o-o

a lot comes to mind .... but it is two words

4:31 am

sprite

lol o-o

4:31 am

puglet

I will have to look it up later too

4:32 am

o-o

sardonic

4:32 am

puglet

does that go along with ironic?

4:33 am

sprite

sardonic... now there I am not sure. More cutting than ironic? A bit down-putting maybe?

4:34 am

puglet

Iam getting out the dict.--lol

4:36 am

sprite

I like talking about words. Sharpens my knowledge of english.

4:36 am

grannyrose

whoot, o-o is he4. g'day mate. are you having a good day/evening?

4:36 am

sprite

wb rose :)

4:37 am

puglet

in my dict--it says that it means bitterly sarcastic

4:37 am

sprite

ah yes, that is it, more bitter than irony.

4:39 am

grannyrose

omg...i just realised ...i am still in my pajamas....and it's nearly bed-time again. lolol.

4:39 am

puglet

If I hadent been stupid and quit school , I might know words better :(

4:39 am

sprite

sardonic: characterized by bitter or scornful derision; mocking; cynical; sneering

4:39 am

puglet

well, you wont have to change then

4:40 am

sprite

pug, you certainly didn't quit school out of stupidity. You shouldn't say things like that about yourself.

4:40 am

grannyrose

pugs....you are perfect, my dear. your heart is so full of love and kindness.

4:40 am

sprite

lol rose... no use getting dressed then.

4:40 am

sprite

and you are smart and a fast learner, and more importantly all what rose just said.

4:41 am

grannyrose

well i could take them off and put them back on...but don might interfere with the process..

4:41 am

sprite

bring out the tutu, rose

4:41 am

puglet

that stuff dont help with knowledge though

4:41 am

sprite

you don't lack knowledge, pug. You pick things up so very very quickly.

4:42 am

puglet

if you havent done anything to smell em up then leave em on I say

4:42 am

grannyrose

pugs, you are wise in so many ways, dear. and that tells us how smart you really are.

4:42 am

puglet

thanks guys anyway

4:43 am

sprite

no need for thanks, it is the simple truth

4:43 am

puglet

I did go to night school to get my ged but thats not the same as class room teaching though

4:44 am

sprite

no it takes a lot more endurance.

4:44 am

grannyrose

knowing words and how to spell them is no indication of intelligence. knowing how to live life and help others along the way is.

4:44 am

sprite

A-freakin'-men to that, rose

4:45 am

puglet

so it sounds like you got a busy day tomorrow Rose

4:45 am

grannyrose

and where is my o-o? did you go back to sleep, dear?

4:47 am

grannyrose

pugs, not me...poor don...there is also the supermarket shopping to be done. and the dry-cleaners...and, and, and..gosh i adore this man.

4:47 am

puglet

Rose they were telling on the news that if one is throwing up it is not likely you got the flu--is that true

4:47 am

o-o

Negative chatter is so insidious

Our findings revealed that somewhere between 60 and 70 percent of the average studentsâ€™ spontaneously occurring thoughts are negative. This is in sharp contrast to what they expected going into the exercise: they expected 60 â€“ 75% of their thoughts to be positive. Further, our findings revealed that there are three main categories into which peopleâ€™s mental chatter falls:

Negative Mental Chatter

1. Thoughts related to inferiority (â€œOther students are going to do better than me on the exam.â€)

2. Thoughts related to love and approval (â€œHow come I am the only one whoâ€™s not taken?â€)

3. Thoughts related to control-seeking (â€œWhy donâ€™t my team-mates ever listen to the suggestions I make?â€).

4:47 am

puglet

Tammy's in Love is on---I love that song

4:48 am

sprite

I can relate to that. When closely observing my thoughts, I find that I am negative a lot more often than I realised.

4:48 am

sprite

so love hearing you enjoy yourself, pug

4:49 am

grannyrose

pugs, in the US of A they refer to a stomach flu...which is theoretically true, as it is caused by a virus. there is also a flu which is a virus which affects our respiratory system.

4:49 am

o-o

Cognitive distortions are rampant.

4:50 am

sprite

they sure are. Am trying to teach myself to be kinder to myself and man man man is it hard. Seems I put myself down every other thought.

4:51 am

grannyrose

o-o, point three i can relate to.but am i control seeking, or just seeking some sort of recognition that i exist?

4:52 am

o-o

Pugs, you are a curious person .... finding answers is a worthy goal ... never stop learning

4:52 am

grannyrose

as a child of a narcissistic parent....and?? what do you expect, dear? it is ingrained, from birth.

4:53 am

sprite

probably both, rose. We yearn for some semblance of control, and we want to be acknowledged by others.

4:53 am

puglet

Iam like that too Sprite and I try watching it since OO pointed me to that site here awhile back. I think alot comes from my childhood(like dad and grade school)

4:53 am

puglet

thank you OO

4:54 am

sprite

*hugs pugs*

4:55 am

puglet

and its really hard to change those thoughts or it is for me--they just sneak up on me like a shadow

4:56 am

o-o

Change is a risk with no guarantees of something better ... but being kinder, more compassionate and more forgiving to yourself is a lifetime process worthy of pursuing

4:57 am

sprite

not just for you, pug, it is really hard. Not giving up and just keeping at it is the only way. And correcting yourself. So when you think: "I was stupid" correct your thoughts and say to yourself: "I was not stupid, I made a decision I later re6ted. But I chose with the knowledge and wisdom I had at that point."

4:57 am

puglet

My pursuit is to walk through those white gates because I sure do hate the heat

4:57 am

sprite

amen to that, o-o

4:58 am

puglet

so true OO

4:58 am

sprite

sweetie, don't worry, God wants you at His side. You are beautiful, loving and caring.

4:59 am

puglet

plus I dont look good in red--lol

4:59 am

sprite

lolol

5:03 am

grannyrose

and a pitchfork is not my ideal as a fashion accessory.

5:04 am

sprite

I have seen this tiny cartoon of a little devil peeking over a wall and saying: "God is busy, may I help you?"

5:05 am

o-o

Stepping out of one's comfort zone is a scary adventure, even when the comfort zone is toxic.

5:05 am

puglet

darn red boxes and reset

5:06 am

sprite

oh, exactly. That is the same as: a familiar feeling is a good feeling, even if it is a rotten feeling."

5:06 am

puglet

so very true OO

5:08 am

puglet

Iam not one to like changes but they go on everyday

5:08 am

o-o

We must decide ... do we want a better life? If so, setting achievable goals is the quest to bring us to a more meaningful place.

5:08 am

sprite

fireflies

5:09 am

puglet

yahoo Sprite

5:09 am

o-o

Well done.

5:09 am

sprite

thank you

5:10 am

sprite

yes, one babystep at a time. And not be angry at ourselves when we do a step back, because a learning curve is never continuous.

5:10 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

5:10 am

sprite

thanks :)

5:11 am

puglet

but what you want may not be reachable either--maybe in our mind

5:11 am

o-o

â€œWithout goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.â€ - Fitzhugh Dodson
â€œFirst you write down your goal; your second job is to break down your goal into a series of steps, beginning with steps which are absurdly easy.â€ - Fitzhugh Dodson

5:12 am

puglet

what about when you give up on those dreams and goals OO---sometimes its just too late

5:13 am

grannyrose

o-o, what you have said relates to my journey with the pain meds. a better life is certainly ahead, but i have to reach it with the aid of these meds. and i have to decide what is achievable and in what way. hard decision when pain clouds your decision.

5:13 am

o-o

No, a better life is never too late

5:13 am

sprite

it is never too late to strive for a better life, pug. Some dreams may be impossible to attain, but others won't be.

5:14 am

puglet

I dont know guys, age and time takes alot away

5:14 am

sprite

exactly, rose. Just remember that severe pain in itself is an energy eater and will hamper your healing. Taking meds to keep the pain manageable is the right decision.

5:15 am

sprite

inertia takes more away, pug. Forget age and time past. Find out what you really want at this point in your life and go for it.

5:15 am

o-o

Would feeling better about yourself make your life more meaningful, Pug?

5:16 am

puglet

I have to think over that OO

5:16 am

sprite

ok, with those great quotes and thoughts I bid you goodbye for today. *hugs* to you all, may you have a blessed day and a peaceful night, all.

5:16 am

o-o

Be well

5:17 am

grannyrose

i am so looking forward to a life with minimal pain meds. i realise some meds will still be necessary.

5:17 am

grannyrose

sprite..xoxox sweetie.

5:17 am

puglet

bye Sprite, hope that flu leaves very soon--hugs

5:17 am

sprite

you will get there, rose. *poof*

5:18 am

puglet

yes you will Rose--just give yourself time

5:19 am

o-o

Pug, you call yourself names you would never think of calling others. That is very telling.

5:20 am

puglet

never thought of it like that OO

5:20 am

o-o

Others do not see you as you see yourself. We have no reason to lie to you.

5:21 am

puglet

I dont know how to stop that, it just comes out

5:22 am

o-o

You have to do some post comment remediation .... like fixing the the distortions to more accurately reflect reality

5:23 am

o-o

Vigilance is a key

5:23 am

puglet

well OO here awhile back you pictured yourself as a wallflower and I picture myself as the glue behind the wall paper

5:23 am

grannyrose

nearly 10:30pm he4. i think i had better head for my pillows. xoxox to you both.

5:23 am

puglet

night Dearest Rose--hugs and byes

5:23 am

o-o

Yes, I am a hypocrite at times

5:24 am

o-o

Be well, rose

5:24 am

puglet

I got to look up that v word

5:25 am

o-o

watchfulness: the condition of being watchful and alert, especially to danger

5:26 am

o-o

to become more aware of what you tell yourself.

5:26 am

puglet

are you speaking of within myseld

5:27 am

puglet

thats easier said then done but I will try to put that into use

5:28 am

o-o

No one said it is easy ... the work of having a better life is difficult

5:29 am

o-o

You will not know how much you might accomplish unless you try.

5:29 am

puglet

is it hard for you OO? You live by yourself, is it easier

5:30 am

puglet

I promise I will try OO

5:33 am

o-o

Good. I have been told by professionals I may never get better ... blah blah blah ... Even so, as the old quote goes, "If it is to be, it is up to me."

5:35 am

o-o

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. ~Confucius

5:36 am

puglet

do YOU feel better OO? Are you able to make changes for yourself

5:38 am

o-o

I think in terms of functionality. Words like happier or healed are slippery things. I seek to do what I may to function at a higher level. My level of functionality fluctuates .... on the whole, however, I am doing better.

5:40 am

puglet

then you have made progress and you knowing what you know about yourself has to be forward progress too.

5:42 am

puglet

I was just wondering if living alone is easier to master things about ones self

5:42 am

o-o

The idea is to do something ... anything .... and succeed ... pick something you can succeed at ... than increase the difficulty ... maybe do something you have put off. Success breeds success. There will be bad times. There always will be. Just do not stop.

5:44 am

puglet

alright OO, Iam going to do that today. Iam going to figure out 1 thing I can do to better myself

5:44 am

o-o

You are in a much worse situation with an abusive husband ... being isolated is not a good way to live ... I have tried to get out more ... thus far without much success.

5:46 am

o-o

Ask yourself the following questions every day:

What am I thankful for today?
What did I learn today?
Where did I do a good job?
Who was I valuable to today?
How did I take care of myself today?

5:47 am

puglet

OO, I know its bad(here) but I dont know how to really explain it) I hate hurting people and I feel sorry for him cause its a sickness and where would he go----he is not evil through and through---theres more to it then I know to put into words here

5:48 am

periwinkle

just coming here this am. hi all

5:48 am

periwinkle

pugs, dear, you need to think of yourself first for once.

5:49 am

o-o

5:49 am

periwinkle

it I a sickness and it is not your problem where he will go.

5:49 am

periwinkle

5:53 am

puglet

5:54 am

puglet

Poor Sprite has the flu now too

5:54 am

ivesy3

â€œPiglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you.â€ - A.A. Milne

8:10 am

lol- back inmy college days- 3rd year calc i believe , we had this one guy that was super smart- but we couldnever understand his equations- so our saying for him was Andys brain plus gobble de gook - gets the right answer. :D

8:10 am

91% is great!!

8:10 am

THERE WE GO. after AMOST 5 YEARS OF THE SAME PROFILE INFO, I THINK IT WAS HIGH TIME TO CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT!.

RoundBarn

crossie. I've copied down your poem. And of course the piglet uote is profound--as the best things for children have profundity hidden in them.

8:26 am

crosshair

I enjoy stubleupon website as it show me many new things and ideas and web sites I would otherwise have not found/looked for on my own. One thing I notice with the U.S sites there are a a lot of "prepper" sites popping up with lists of what to stash away if you thing the govt. will crumble or a zombie apocolypse is just around the corner. This is fine, but there is one thing on many of these lists that drives me round the bend and this is fossil fuel hoarding!!!. Not only is this highly dangerous, but as someone who was in the petroleum business for 30 years, I am here to tell any prepper some valuable info. ready for it? .GASOLINE HAS A SHELF LIFE! gasoline,at best will last 3-4 months in a sealed ,full container. this will prevent condensation, however, gasoline breaks down into what almost looks like a light maple syrup consistency, so please, do not store gasoline. If you must, store diesel instead and happy hunkering down to you all!

8:27 am

crosshair

indeed. we can learn a lot from our children,RB

8:27 am

RoundBarn

where ws the mlk quote? Just read that a Wis teacher refused an award from Paul Ryan in the middle of the MLK celebration--where Paul Ryan is against all MLK's principles. and shouldn't have even been there--purely for political gain. He comes from my daughters town. I mourn for wisconsin.--my stte, state of the LaFolletts.

8:27 am

crosshair

what is MLK??

8:28 am

Wolvie

ty for the info crossy :-)

8:28 am

Wolvie

lol crossy- Martin luther king- the quoteon your profile

8:29 am

crosshair

like it wolvie? it is like many of Mr. Kings quotes in that is is truth unvarnished

8:29 am

Wolvie

yep- i told you so a bit ago :D

8:29 am

crosshair

ahh ok.it is in my profile,RB

8:30 am

crosshair

I am obviously not tracking well today,hailu or no:)

8:31 am

crosshair

do not know who this Paul Ryan is, but there are not many who can argue with much of Mr. Kings wisdom

8:32 am

RoundBarn

ok I see the MLK quote, it's on your new profile, Crossie. Thanks--it is SO TRUE. The older I get though the more I speak out. Maybe it helps. Helps me, at least.

8:33 am

crosshair

lol, RB. feel free to speak out. My beloved better half says my tongue shouled be hinged in the middle so it can flap on both ends

8:34 am

Aloyisius

no bagels to be found, so.. toasted Eng. muffin with avocado schmeer.. passes fresh coffee around

8:34 am

RoundBarn

Paul Ryan is a senaator or congressman from Wis, I know his teadhers--from his grade and h.s. he's an arrogant bastard and a lacky of the 1 per cent. I know we seldon m talk politics on babble--we do hear a lot about people's health, and that is okay.

8:35 am

crosshair

RB, what is the difference between a politician and a trampoline?... You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.;))

8:35 am

RoundBarn

I like what I hea abt your better half. Seems like she can handle your nonsense.

8:36 am

crosshair

lol, after 22 years she is an expert at it

8:38 am

RoundBarn

except u you don't talk nonsense--I tune in to get your quotes, etc. I lke the tramoline one--Paul Ryan and Sfott Walker are tramping with shoes all over wisconsin--teachers and education are prime targets. We are a country that is downgrading education. Bush bragged about his poor grades, and that he was with a lot of phds once, but he hapened to be president and they didn't.

8:40 am

RoundBarn

well, enough venom. someone last night out of the blue said he'd build me a "Little bookhouse"--you know about them? I will stand it in my yard, next to the poverty school I live next to. Here, have a free book.

8:41 am

crosshair

:( we are fortunate in that we are coming out of the educational dark ages of rote learning and memorization and disgorging facts upon command and calling it good. We now have programs that cater more to the individual and the way and pace at which they learn. As the man said "If we gauged the intelligence of a fish on its ability to ride a bicycle, we would all fail as teachers"

8:42 am

crosshair

little bookhouse?

8:42 am

Wolvie

taking a break- back later- la poof!

8:42 am

crosshair

is that like those free mini-lending libraries that are in many euro cities now?

8:43 am

RoundBarn

y4es. WE are going down hill. The university I helped found has now got all the flaws in full swing that we started out by eliminating. It's hard to see it happen. The whole writing program I built up is in shatters. That would take an essay I won't put on here.

8:43 am

it is the human condition. You start them on the right path and they promise to stich to the high road and as time goes on it becomes a race to see who can make the biggest golden paracute for their own agendas

8:45 am

crosshair

stick

8:45 am

RoundBarn

these are little houses on poles. look 'em up on the web. I saw them all over Minneapolis and Madison--now 7 cities have them--I would guess Europe too. They aren't lending libraries, they are trading libraries--you take a book, leave a book. My granddaughte said, what it someone takes ALL the books and doesn't leave any? I said fine, then we just restofk.

8:46 am

RoundBarn

restock

8:47 am

crosshair

yes, that is what I am talking about RB. here is is starting as well. Bell Canada has offered up many of the old full size phone booths that they started pulling off the streets in the 80,s for this purpose

8:48 am

crosshair

they put shelves in it and it is ready to go

8:49 am

crosshair

and it is an amazing idea all around

8:50 am

RoundBarn

I just heard last night that there are such sort of boxes available--maybe phone booth boxes--I will go look. I have ploenty of books of my own to cull, but that takes time and thought and you start reading something--what I did yesterday was go to the library sale of paperbacks each 50 cents and get twenty assorted, to start my little book house. Alas, I found some I want to read tho I was in and out of the libr in 10 minutes, elbowing through the crwod

8:52 am

RoundBarn

i want TWO--a regular height for adults, and a lower down one for kids w that I will stock with kids books.

8:52 am

crosshair

Do not need it here however. 6 years ago or so when our old library was falling down, the township proposed a 5 million dollar library that would not only hold books for public use,but safely store all the town historical record and other old document as well as our local coast guard detachment and have a green roof that people could relax on in the summer with a book in and a arbouredum all around them. Full funding was raised in less than 2 months. Took all summer on the other hand to raise 10 mil for the local hospital. we love our books;)

8:53 am

crosshair

it is a grand idea RB

8:54 am

RoundBarn

I will come visit your town crossie when I finish my magnum opus unless it finishes me first. I will expect to throw a sleeping bag on your floor--I still live like a graduate student.

8:56 am

crosshair

there is always room for you RB

8:56 am

RoundBarn

anyway, off to the uu's this morning. The "semon" is on Kurt Vonnegut!

8:56 am

crosshair

lol, love Kurts quotes!

8:56 am

crosshair

he was terrified that the students he was teaching would run the world someday

8:57 am

RoundBarn

sermon, though semen might do as well--life giving--it will be on dresden and other things vonnegut wrote and lived

8:59 am

RoundBarn

Do you know God Bless You Mr Rosewater? I often quote a line p of Mr. R's near the end--he's watching Aida and he calls out to the singers in the tomb, Z"You'll last longer oif you don't sing!"

9:00 am

RoundBarn

Well I better get poinking and leave the chat box to others.

9:00 am

crosshair

do not know it,but it reminds me of the advice of not thrashing around if you should fall in quicksand:)

9:01 am

crosshair

nice chatting with you RB. have a great day

9:03 am

RoundBarn

well after Vonnegut I'm going to a memorial ceremony for a colleague's mother I liked--the mother--the colleague has double crossed me four or five times but I will go honor her mother. The rest of the day should be okay. See John Kleese in Clocktime if you get movies--my daughter has my netflix queue--it is roll on the floor funny.

9:04 am

right now for Netflix, I am fully engrossed in the prison break series

9:08 am

10:10 am

crosshair

sorry, have never heard of it

10:12 am

if I want to update any of my drivers, i always go to the source site of the software in question. tis always easier

10:12 am

MLFAN17

Anyone else?

10:13 am

crosshair

unless it is a dell product.then it is a PITA all the way round:)

10:13 am

i used to have a Dell computer

10:15 am

right now I am using a very old HP workstation computer that I gutted and rebuilt. was quite a bit of fun and has a funky retro look to it

10:15 am

MLFAN17

cool cross

10:15 am

MLFAN17

i have an HP

10:16 am

though I can tell you, this is the first time this old girl has ever had 4 gig of cpu chip and 4 gig of ddr2 ram under the hood lol

10:16 am

haha lol

10:16 am

crosshair

thing is a time warp out of 1989, externally

10:16 am

MLFAN17

i am trying to fix my computer for FREE and i dont know what to use or not use in order to do so

10:17 am

crosshair

I even left the old floppy drive in for chuckles

10:17 am

crosshair

wish I was there for you MLF

10:17 am

crosshair

what are its problems foirst of all?

10:17 am

MLFAN17

me too cross

10:17 am

crosshair

first

10:18 am

MLFAN17

ineed to fix errors and get my missing drivers back. i was hacked on fb

10:18 am

MLFAN17

nbt

10:19 am

crosshair

ahh ok, first you want to open up the case,remove the hard drive, go to computer store, spend 30 dollars on good used 400 gig hard drive ,take it home and re-install win 7. saves a lot of grief. you can turn the corrupted one into a external usb storage drive and retrieve your old info and scrub it at your leisure

10:19 am

MLFAN17

what are the stats for the 8?

10:20 am

gramma

or 8/45

10:20 am

MLFAN17

cross i need to do something here I can't spend any money i want to fix this for FREE

10:20 am

MLFAN17

But good idea anyway:)

10:20 am

gramma

I have 2 left. The 1st 2 tr's. Help, please?

10:20 am

MLFAN17

oh duhh ty gramma

10:21 am

MLFAN17

nbt and nbs

10:21 am

crosshair

ok,then you want to go to www.oldversion.com and load free copies of ad-aware and avg anti virus

10:21 am

crosshair

run them both-twice

10:21 am

crosshair

then use system restore to go back to a date just before you were corruped

10:22 am

MLFAN17

i have a virus program already avg is not free for good and i dont remember about ad aware but i used to use both

10:22 am

crosshair

corrupted

10:22 am

crosshair

that site is freeware version..it is free

10:22 am

crosshair

well,start with system restore

10:22 am

MLFAN17

the computer would let me go back but i am concerned about getting rehacked

10:22 am

gramma

NM I got them. Clues, anyone?

10:23 am

crosshair

that is the chance we all take on internet.if you know the site that hacked you, avoid it. I wipe this system clean at least once every 3 months

10:23 am

MLFAN17

cross i tried avg a few months ago NO FREE version accept for a month i have only found on e which is FREE that i am currently using. AVG i had to reinstall every two yrs originally

10:24 am

MLFAN17

i dont use facebook as much since

10:24 am

gramma

Okay then, enjoy your day. See ya.

10:24 am

crosshair

ok,well we will not debate it.stay with the one you have::))

10:25 am

MLFAN17

cross lol i have no choice id ont want to reinstall a virus program each time its annoying

10:25 am

crosshair

FB is turning into a nightmare. I have not used it on this new build once and am much more stable in all programs

10:25 am

MLFAN17

Thank so much for the help though do appreciate it:)

10:25 am

crosshair

i am trying lol

10:25 am

MLFAN17

Yes fb is a breeder for hackers and viruses

10:26 am

MLFAN17

it has made my compure VERY lousd

10:26 am

MLFAN17

loud

10:26 am

crosshair

ok,there is a freeware program called killdisk. it wipes the drive military style 7 times. use it and reinstall windows on original drive. it is the final, be all,end all solution

10:27 am

MLFAN17

that sounds awesome but time consuming

10:27 am

crosshair

problem solved

10:27 am

crosshair

on a nice full big hard drive it will take 4-6 hours

10:27 am

MLFAN17

i dont want to "start over" per say

10:27 am

MLFAN17

uggh no thanks

10:28 am

crosshair

ahh,so now we are narrowing your options

10:28 am

crosshair

it is a case of you cannot have it all. you must choose the perils vs how much work you want to do

10:28 am

MLFAN17

i assumed that

10:28 am

MLFAN17

iwant something free and fast

10:29 am

crosshair

ok,since you are staying with your current anti-virus and you want the original hard drive and you do not want to start from scratch, that leaves system restore. go back to just before the issues began and count yourself lucky you are only losing a week or 2

10:30 am

MLFAN17

lol gee thanks

10:30 am

crosshair

sorry,there is no perfect answer

10:30 am

MLFAN17

yeah too easy right?

on my other computer it is free and has been for 5 years and counting:)))

10:33 am

MLFAN17

i used to use ad aware not sure why i dont anymore possibly same situation but i loved it

10:33 am

crosshair

if you have one,do not use the other,ivesy. spybot and ad-aware do not play well together

10:33 am

MLFAN17

cross i even went to the pages the different ones come from ie their own

10:33 am

crosshair

crossy loves oldversion.com

10:34 am

ivesy3

ok thanks crossy , good to know

10:34 am

crosshair

indeed ivesy.ad -aware will mark spybot as a virus and visa versa:))

10:35 am

MLFAN17

that is true

10:35 am

ivesy3

have had these puter about 5 yrs.. avg has been free ... once they tried saying i had to pay. called customer service . she led me to free download site

its not fixed yet cross lol

10:42 am

crosshair

i would just sys restore..really

10:42 am

crosshair

unless you downloaded critical irreplaceable files in last week or two:))

10:42 am

pink17

hi everyone

10:43 am

MLFAN17

hi pink

10:43 am

crosshair

and if you did, you could pull them,put them on a flash key then sys resotre

10:43 am

crosshair

howdy pink

10:43 am

MLFAN17

why would that make a difference because it cant be changed?

10:43 am

pink17

hi mlf and cross nice to see you

10:44 am

crosshair

what cannot be changed??

10:44 am

crosshair

you lost me,MLF

10:45 am

MLFAN17

its not a system restore its just taking me back to where i was as it thinks i lost connection or something? The rest of the things wrong with my computer are related to that as well hence why i am not doing it. If i were to do that i would probably get hacked again as its like i went back before it happened i woould think

10:45 am

MLFAN17

you mentioend downloaded critical irreplacable files

10:45 am

pink17

friends may I bother u please for the or 8 ineed a clue

10:46 am

crosshair

sigh..well,play it how you like. but i keep erasing till i get back before the problem,then aboid the sites(programs) that caused it in the first place

10:46 am

MLFAN17

pink do you have or 7?

10:46 am

brandyjack

no, because viruses typically do not infest files anymore. Your work files and archives downloaded are usually safe. Its the system tself that gets infected. Typically using jscripts and such to re-infect it if you manage to nail part of it.

10:46 am

penquis

it builds off the or 5/12, pink....

10:46 am

pink17

no mlf

10:46 am

mael

plural of or7, someone who shops on line

10:46 am

penquis

or 5/12...build off that

10:46 am

pink17

ty all see it now yikes

10:47 am

crosshair

hence why i wipe it clean and start with a new slate and pick at the old drive at my leisure, brandyjack

10:47 am

crosshair

less stress that way:))

10:47 am

MLFAN17

hi brandy, my java is messed up and i am missing drivers

10:48 am

crosshair

but MLF wants to do it a certain way

10:48 am

ivesy3

very iteresting site on our library site , on fb. 25 big novels that you mite want to read.. each one has at least 800 pages

10:48 am

MLFAN17

I may have to avoid fb even though so much crap uis probably in anyone's system who uses it

10:48 am

brandyjack

same here. The amount of time it takes to fix it is not worth it since you can never be sure you actually did fix it. Format C: fixes all ills.

10:48 am

crosshair

my drive is FB free and it is going to stay that way on this build;))

10:48 am

MLFAN17

cross NO not a certain way the only way i know who in order to do it safely and for FREE

10:48 am

crosshair

indeed brandyjack

10:48 am

pink17

I wish I was wise enough to know computer stuff lol

10:49 am

crosshair

moving on...

10:49 am

MLFAN17

lol cross congrats

10:49 am

pink17

how do u perform format c

10:50 am

MLFAN17

brandy ubut i need to fix it regardless of any webpage i still need all my drivers and i as my earch engine i have BING and not my homepage I NEED to fix my computer

10:50 am

crosshair

i have a drive in that condition right now sitting beside me. you can buy usb "cages" for your old corrupted internal drives,take yer time cleanignthen up and you have a nice storage when doone

10:51 am

MLFAN17

pink i am not as wise as i would like to be though:)

10:51 am

crosshair

i have helped as i could.sorry, MLF

10:51 am

pink17

I am in awe of computer know how

10:51 am

brandyjack

and downloading Java doesn't work? I think I have that problem too. Just not sure which machine has the problem. I can download and install, says its ok, but then later comes up and says i need to download again. I just ignore it now. Probably should rebuild the system, but its working otherwise and i am huge procrastinator.....

10:51 am

MLFAN17

cross why dont you use that computer that is right next to you?

10:51 am

pink17

cross you mstill in school?

10:51 am

crosshair

??

10:52 am

crosshair

there is no computer next to me, just a drive in a usb drive cage i am cleaning up

10:52 am

MLFAN17

brandy it tells me i need to configure it.

10:52 am

MLFAN17

ohh i see cross

10:52 am

crosshair

yes indeed,pink 1 more week of math and it is back to English!! yaa!

10:52 am

brandyjack

that's bogus. Java doesn't need configuring.

10:52 am

pink17

awesome you are moving right along yeah

10:53 am

10:53 am

10:53 am

pink17

hi ruby

10:53 am

penquis

i had trouble when i updated java....couldn't play a favorite online game....ended up getting rid of java and downloading the old version....works fine!

10:53 am

MLFAN17

enable java content in the browser ?

10:54 am

crosshair

once again people.... www.oldversion.com

10:54 am

MLFAN17

the box is unchecked

10:54 am

penquis

yes, thanks crossy...

10:54 am

pink17

lol

10:54 am

MLFAN17

pen have you had to update it yet?

10:55 am

crosshair

if i had a dime for ever time i have heard 'well i reinstalled a previous version and now it is fine" i would be a rich man

10:55 am

MLFAN17

or do you avoid that?

10:55 am

MLFAN17

really cross why?

10:56 am

crosshair

because,with older version,all the bugs have been worked out,all the patches and fixes are already in place. new software has a nasty habit of being shipped 80% done and patched later

10:56 am

penquis

i have not had to update it, but my needs are simple....when i play a game at the NY Times website, it asks me if I want to run it "this time" and I say yes....that's the only thing that has happened...

10:56 am

Rows

morning all :)

10:56 am

howdy,rows

10:56 am

rubyfoo

I have a stupid question" I finally have a decent scanner/copier and bought photo quality paper but,unthinkingly bought a small size paper. When I position it in the machine, should it be centered or in a corner?

10:56 am

pink17

hi rows

10:56 am

penquis

10:57 am

crosshair

10:57 am

10:58 am

rubyfoo

ink*

11:00 am

crosshair

photo quality paper is $$$$ do not use it much, though i have considered investing in a poster sized copier so i can limited print of some of my best photos,but it is a big investment

11:01 am

rubyfoo

I wanted to make some decent prints of my dog pictures to send to friends and frame for old Burt

11:02 am

crosshair

very nice:))

11:02 am

rubyfoo

11:04 am

brandyjack

MLF, I am in the same boat as you apparently. MIcrosoft put out a bulletin a year ago warning of bogus Java updates. It looks like we both caught one. Trying to remove all Java per Oracle instructions I am getting numerous prompts to 'Activate Java 7 U.' There should be a number after the U. Pretty good indication I cought something. Like I don't have better ways to blow a Sunday afternoon.....

12:59 pm

penquis

i just hope it

12:59 pm

penquis

is a good game

1:00 pm

rururocks

believe me it will be

1:00 pm

rururocks

Cos?

1:01 pm

kje

what about the other game, ru?

1:01 pm

cosdem

ru?

1:02 pm

rururocks

The other game is going to be monumental. it will likely be the best game of the year

1:02 pm

rururocks

I was wondering Cos.. if Denver is really excited about this game or is everyone too stoned to care ?

1:02 pm

cosdem

Even *I* am watching the game. That says a lot.

1:02 pm

kje

my money is on seattle

1:02 pm

penquis

lol

1:02 pm

cosdem

lol both maybe

1:03 pm

kje

49ers don't seem to be able to play in that stadium

1:03 pm

rururocks

*you can move OUT of san Francisco now KJE*

1:03 pm

penquis

it will be embarrassing if Seattle does NOT win...

1:03 pm

CadFan

No one is here is too stoned to care, trust me ;) Go Broncos!

1:03 pm

kje

I will never be a 49ers fan... I grew up in Dallas

1:03 pm

rururocks

*kisses bicep for good measure*

1:04 pm

penquis

i will be rooting for SF...

1:04 pm

rururocks

Dream on kje.. Romo will never take that team anywhere

1:04 pm

kje

I'll root for SF, but won't matter... they seem jinxed in that stadium

1:04 pm

cosdem

Cad's in Colorado too?

1:05 pm

rururocks

It is loud.. I've been there for a game BEFORE the Hawks were as great a team as they are now.. and it is deafening

1:05 pm

kje

I didn't say I was a cowboys fan... I hate them (have since idiot JJ bought them)

1:05 pm

cosdem

Its 60 and gorgeous in Colorado. Suns out. Windows open. Should be a good time for game goers. One of my co-workers is at the game.

1:06 pm

rururocks

*looks at bread to see which side is buttered for KJE*

1:06 pm

kje

but still, anti 49ers is inbred

1:06 pm

rururocks

Jerry Jones (going on record now) is an idiot

1:06 pm

MollyL

*Sits down at computer wearing a Broncos jersey and sipping an ice cold Coors*

1:06 pm

rururocks

a rich idiot.. which doesn't compute

1:07 pm

cosdem

Molly! Following is back tonight!

1:07 pm

kje

he really is... then the icing on the cake for me, was when they voted to increase taxes to pay for the stadium, at the same time they voted against teacher pay increases and healthcare... socialism is only acceptable when applied to football ; )

1:08 pm

MollyL

Thanks Cos, I didn't know that.

1:08 pm

rururocks

in Texas Football is everything kje over all else

1:08 pm

kje

there are lots of rich idiots... just remember the last presidential election for starters (Cain)

1:09 pm

rururocks

I'd love to be a rich idiot

1:10 pm

penquis

i could do rich....my character is already formed...no risks... ;o)

1:11 pm

rururocks

Mitt wins at the buzzer !! WTG Cos

1:11 pm

kje

while I don't agree with many of Mitt's positions, he is hardly an idiot...

1:11 pm

rururocks

I politely disagree kje

1:12 pm

rururocks

anyone who would strap their dog to the roof of their car on a family vacation qualifies as an absolute dumbshit

1:13 pm

cosdem

running to liquor store quick for the game. brb in 15

1:14 pm

rururocks

and mormon is only one letter from being correct for him

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

rururocks

<---has never, ever done anything stupid

1:15 pm

rururocks

:D

1:15 pm

MollyL

I imagine Colorado liquor stores are doing a booming business today.

1:15 pm

kje

that would be true everywhere, Molly - lots of people will be watching those games

1:15 pm

rururocks

I think they should give Brady a joint before the game

1:16 pm

rururocks

I bought a lovely aged calvados for the game

1:16 pm

MollyL

I don't think Giselle lets him do such things. Short leash.

1:16 pm

he says he has a brain tumor but he has no medical evidence for it

2:03 pm

rururocks

2:03 pm

penquis

2:03 pm

hego

agree Ru.

2:04 pm

periwinkle

My nose is still stuffed up. I sure wish I could taste the food I eat.

2:04 pm

rururocks

I read the book on the murders and it is unbelievable he got off

2:04 pm

cosdem

He needs to be locked up in a room with ron goldman's father armed. alone. in the dark.

2:04 pm

rururocks

they should make him live with the kardashians to pay back society

2:04 pm

periwinkle

haha ruru

2:04 pm

hego

Uh oh, Peri off her food is not a happy Peri.

2:04 pm

I had the flu then a short break and now a cold.

2:05 pm

hego

2:05 pm

hego

sorry to hear Peri.

2:05 pm

periwinkle

stidmama

hawks aren't playing yet! LOL

2:10 pm

hego

Must go. Bye All!

2:10 pm

stidmama

And I think they will stand a better chance against the pats than the broncos, to be honest. I don't usually care about football, but it would be so nice for my kiddos at school!

2:10 pm

stidmama

later hego

2:10 pm

periwinkle

hi stid. what is that in your icon?

2:10 pm

2:11 pm

stidmama

I can't remember, I changed it in the Spring.

2:11 pm

2:11 pm

periwinkle

fine otherwise

2:12 pm

stidmama

2:13 pm

periwinkle

tr6 pls

2:13 pm

stidmama

I am well, peri -- stressed out for some reason this weekend over school things (no purpose to it, just weirded out) -- but otherwise there is progress on the house, and Tom assures me we have the money to finish it.

2:13 pm

stidmama

only just got in... tr 6, eh?

2:14 pm

periwinkle

that is good news about the house

2:15 pm

stidmama

yes, I was worried. Seems the delays (weather-related) and some of the things we needed to do because of the regulations were more money than we expected. But we'll make it.

2:15 pm

stidmama

there's a bridge in nyc called Throgs Neck Bridge, and when I was a kid, I always would ask my parents what a Throg was...but according to enable, it's nothing.

2:20 pm

stidmama

2:20 pm

HarryHood

hi stid! ok

2:22 pm

stidmama

oooh. now I have all the Ws. This is a reasonable grid so far

2:23 pm

welki

hi folks

2:23 pm

HarryHood

hi welki

2:23 pm

welki

now i'm curious about the bridge, harry - grew up in brooklyn/queens (googling now)

2:23 pm

stidmama

hey welki! unfrozen yet?

2:24 pm

HarryHood

aah - we didn't have wiki back then, never thought of finding out :)

2:24 pm

HarryHood

and it wasn't in our edition of britannica

2:25 pm

cosdem

uh oh

2:25 pm

cosdem

2:25 pm

welki

wow - was a neighborhood in the bronx and the bridge was built by robert moses, same one the state park was named for

2:25 pm

stidmama

games moveing, the bronco coach is hollering, and the players are standing around, arms akimbo

2:25 pm

stidmama

2:26 pm

stidmama

2:26 pm

HarryHood

robert moses was the cause of many of the highways in the south bronx - many people blame him for the deterioration of the borough, all those neighborhoods cut in half by highways

2:26 pm

welki

denver field goal, cos

2:26 pm

stidmama

2:28 pm

stidmama

??? still commercial here. dumb car things

2:28 pm

welki

time to look for a live feed, cos

2:28 pm

crosshair

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!. As stupid as this sounds, it is the truth. Famous hand bag maker , Louis Vuitton burns all their unsold hand bags at the end of each year so as to not be stuck putting them on sale and thus devaluating the brand. Heaven help us the 99% will ever get their hands on them eh?

2:28 pm

meliae

Got help on facebook to get here no expert but at leadt I can play

2:28 pm

stidmama

showing pics of past games now, in the snow, in the rain, in the paper falling from the sky

2:29 pm

cosdem

ok signals back

2:29 pm

stidmama

wow, cross. that's terrible! Far better to make just the amount they will sell and not have to destroy resources.

2:29 pm

penquis

good!

2:29 pm

stidmama

good, I am not good at play by play! :-D

2:29 pm

welki

did you see that last play, cos? i've never seen anything like it!!

2:29 pm

cosdem

lol thank u for trying stid!

2:30 pm

stidmama

anyway, down to 40. Should get dressed before supper time (now past noon). Back later! ***scatters choclits and pretzels willy-nilly on way out***

2:30 pm

welki

bye, stid

2:30 pm

cosdem

Nope. local viewers here got our signal cut for a few minutes.

2:30 pm

welki

just funning you, cos - there was nothing

2:30 pm

meliae

It amazes me the waste that stores do. They cut up shoes rather than donate them because they get more money bavk thst

2:30 pm

crosshair

or offer a limited ,numbered amount and just drive the price right through the roof then the 1% will be content playing my stuff is worth more than your stuff game

2:31 pm

meliae

back that way than if they donate them

2:31 pm

meliae

Shoes that are returned by customers

2:32 pm

cosdem

lol oh thanks a lot welki lol

2:33 pm

welki

couldn't resist - apologies

2:33 pm

crosshair

and I know from experience that they step over the regular p[eople and buy crap like this because I got to see (and hold) a putter with a solid gold head on it!! .just think of it, a putter with 22 oz of solid gold to knock the ole ball around the putting green

2:35 pm

welki

that's more than half a pound more than my putter

2:35 pm

welki

wouldn't make much difference to me, but to someone who golfs well, i think it would be substantial

2:35 pm

meliae

I want seahawks Pats for superbowl make it a true east versus west :)

2:36 pm

crosshair

yup, the ownder said it transfers the power to the ball more directly because of the soft metal and as such needs a lighter touch and gives more control..if you can believe that crapola

2:36 pm

cosdem

I want Denver and Seattle.. the two cities from the two states that have legal pot lol

2:37 pm

welki

would seem that, because the gold is so soft, much of the impact would be absorbed by the metal, not transferred to the ball - weird. oh well, not like i'll be using one of them *lol*

2:37 pm

meliae

Lol cossy there are so many jokes about if that happens there will be a national junk food crisis

2:37 pm

crosshair

nor I lol

2:38 pm

dianedecoder

I see that golf is in recent conversation and that's where we are headed right now! Hello everyone, and also bye for now..... it's a nice grid ! :-)

2:39 pm

crosshair

i was into golfing for one year.live near a country club that let regular folks onto the sacred turf for sunset 9 hole special pricing. and i once packed a pool cue for those tough long putting green shots. was a riot

2:39 pm

dianedecoder

Thanks welki !!.... I'm just doing 9 holes for now...easing into it after not golfing since last March. I just load up on the tylenol and one aleve and get with it !! Bye now :-)

2:40 pm

welki

that's all my arthritis can handle for now, too, diane

2:40 pm

crosshair

i came to the conclusion that it was not for me on the day i hit the fairway with a 3 pack of brand new spalding balls and after 9 i have 30 balls in the side puch of my bag, because i would be damed if i was going to take a drop. i would play my second shot from ANYWHERE!.

2:41 pm

crosshair

cliffs,swamps,tree limbs,anywhere

2:41 pm

welki

crossy, i don't play well, but my husband loves it and it's a good way to spend the time when we're not fishing

2:41 pm

dianedecoder

My problem too, welki.... that and the fibromyalgia but it feels good to "move". I had a bad summer :-(

2:42 pm

welki

2:43 pm

welki

i'm still amazed that i'm actually allowed to wave around a metal (or graphite) stick in public :)

2:43 pm

dianedecoder

I can't imagine how my dogs would manage

4:18 pm

bichon

We sleep with AC if it's really bad.

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

i just rinse them and let them air dry lynxxx and then rinse them again as needed. . .

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

i only sleep in AC if required by the hotel/friends house. . . i don't like AC much at all. . .

4:19 pm

lynxxx

I am happy not to have AC - not good for the environemnt etc. We have a fair few electricity blackouts during the heatwave with people turning on ACs.

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

i can imagine lynxxx . . .we have brown outs here in some summers. . .

4:20 pm

For the most part in the U.S. people have AC, even in Northerly states. If they can afford it.

5:28 pm

Scrabbler

Hey, Stid. How are you and the gang? How is the home construction going?

5:29 pm

stidmama

Apparently a big structural inspection will be Tuesday, then (assuming all goes according to plan) we will be able to insulate and drywall... and then I think a month after that we can move in. Maybe.

5:29 pm

stidmama

You?

5:29 pm

jmcnrick

sorry. . .back. . . yeah cosdem!

5:30 pm

stidmama

Was thinking about your mom with all the storms and hoping she 'weathered' them okay.

5:30 pm

stidmama

hey jmc!

5:30 pm

Scrabbler

Great news. I am cross-country skiing and snowshoeing whenever I can. Wishing for more snow.

5:30 pm

jmcnrick

hi stiddie

5:31 pm

hehe *waves at scrabs from chair in front of fireplace with irish coffee in hand*

5:31 pm

Scrabbler

Hi jm

5:31 pm

stidmama

my world right now consists of school and getting ready for school, though, so I feel a little out of place when I have to make an actual decision about the house!

5:31 pm

Scrabbler

Multitasking is not easy.

5:32 pm

stidmama

True. Except, it turns out I CAN actually eat chocolate anywhere, and still manage to do whatever I need to do. *happy mama look*

5:33 pm

Scrabbler

Eating chocolate is essential for me, and you.

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

*throws godiva chocolates at stiddie*

5:33 pm

stidmama

:-D a family trait!

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

*throws godiva chocolates at scrabs*

5:34 pm

Scrabbler

*grabbing the dark chocolate ones*

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

anyone else?

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

I only threw dark chocolate. . . i thought that went without saying. . . .

5:35 pm

stidmama

btw, it's funny but of all the kids I pulled in the shuffle for this year, another distant cousin turns up! LOL it's really funny, because every time the kid thinks about a decision that is less than optimal I just mention I can call mom... and surprisingly the kid chooses something else!

5:35 pm

Scrabbler

Well, TY. Many people do not get the delight of dark chocolate.

5:35 pm

stidmama

hm. godiva choclits are nice, but I can't eat them. thanks anyway, jmc.

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

no? so sorry stiddie

5:36 pm

Scrabbler

Some kids (and adults) do have consciences.

5:37 pm

stidmama

yep. I am getting limited now by the "made on equipment shared with" nonsense.

5:37 pm

stidmama

how's life in the big city, jmc?

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

quite lovely thank you. . . i had lunch in a deli and walked over to the farmers market and bought fresh bread. . .

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

tomorrow will be less nice since i will be working from 8 to 7

5:39 pm

stidmama

that's a very long day.

5:39 pm

jmcnrick

but i will probably splurge and buy lunch from a food truck at the park nearby. . .

5:39 pm

stidmama

mmm. lunch sounds good! Tom just brought me a nice big bowl of popcorn. We are getting ready to watch the GAME.

5:39 pm

jmcnrick

it wouldn't be too bad as a day if i didn't want to do stuff on my organization at night when i get home. . .

5:40 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, popcorn sounds great. I just got an airpopper.

i wave at the white house every day on the way to work. . .

5:40 pm

jmcnrick

airpoppers are great. . .

5:40 pm

stidmama

We have used an air popper forever (really, we were still using my college one!) so the replacement is the same. It's nice to have a little more control over how much oil goes on.

5:41 pm

stidmama

but I still sometimes miss the smell of the really old oil popper we had when I was a kid.

5:41 pm

stidmama

do you really, jmc? That's cool!

5:41 pm

jmcnrick

i love living he**. . .

5:42 pm

Scrabbler

We had one at my parents' house long ago, then microwave popcorn became popular, then I learned how awful microwave popcorn is, so I began popping with olive oil--yummy.

5:42 pm

stidmama

oh, that would be nice, scrabs, never considered it!

5:42 pm

Scrabbler

jm, I have yet to be in DC. Maybe someday.

5:42 pm

jmcnrick

i posted on my webpage this fall a picture of some iranian protestors in front of the fall leafs in front of the white house in their yellow jackets. . . it was loverly!

5:42 pm

jmcnrick

let me know. . .you can stay with me scrabs and entertain my cat. . .

5:43 pm

stidmama

scrabs, have you met jmc in person yet? She is wonderful.

5:43 pm

Scrabbler

Maybe I will get there someday.

5:43 pm

jmcnrick

[blush]

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

clue for the last go please go5/14

5:44 pm

Scrabbler

It would be so much easier to visit DC with a native to guide me. I am NOT an urban person and I get overstimulated in urban settings.

5:45 pm

Scrabbler

rhymes with an equine

5:45 pm

stidmama

jmc: a spiky plant resembling scotch broom, has thorns

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

i could take you to the arboretum and the zoo. . . .

5:45 pm

Scrabbler

And I know jm is wonderful--it is quite clear from chatting with her here for years.

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

i thought of that but didn't think to go up! ty both

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

[fiercely blushing]

5:46 pm

stidmama

Being in DC with a guide is I think a must. Even 40 years ago it was pretty overwhelming at times.

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

it is fun to take people to the nonregular places. . .

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

th*** is a fabulous Einstein statue with the universe at his feet. . .

5:48 pm

stidmama

oooh. I bet that is cool!

5:48 pm

MollyL

The Einstein statue is fabulous and it's not far from the Viet Nam Memorial, which most people want to see.

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

it is one of my favorite statues. . . second only to the WPA teamsters in front of the dept of commerce

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

i stay with Einstein while my guests go to the vietnam memorial . . .you should see it once but i have. . .

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

i also like the DC map that is in the middle of one park. . .

5:50 pm

MollyL

My favorite statue is the one of those seagulls on the wave, on the way to National Airport (yes, I still call it that)

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

me too. . .it is National Airport forever for me. . . and yes that is a great statue too.

5:51 pm

8:57 pm

Nef

We didn't watch the first game; then we went and picked up some BBQ for supper and heard the gal singing the national anthem for this game (who was she anyway?? I wasn't impressed...)

8:58 pm

Nef

and when we got home DH and our son watched while we ate. DH says he's not interested; but this was a good game!

8:58 pm

penquis

i have no idea....

8:59 pm

cosdem

it was an intense game

8:59 pm

Nef

this was a very intense game!

9:00 pm

cosdem

this is the first time ever I have spent a sunday watching 2 football games. i feel so straight.

9:01 pm

Nef

LOL, cos! I normally don't care for football except for the vikings (who never win); but this was a good game

9:02 pm

cosdem

Will definitely be watching the super bowl. i think our governor is gonna require it by law :P

9:02 pm

lbdawger

9:02 pm

cosdem

seattle

9:03 pm

Nef

Seahawks!

9:03 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo!!! both my teams won! so either way in the super bowl, my team wins!

9:04 pm

Nef

WTG, lbd! My nephew lives in Seattle, he calls them the Shehawks; and he was rooting for the 49'ers

9:04 pm

cosdem

hah. someone on fb just posted, colorado and washington legalized weed, broncos and seahawks go to superbowl

9:05 pm

Nef

Now that is really funny, cos. I had to share that with DH!

hi Tor. I see your name in the grid; does that mean you get the tiara?

9:15 pm

9:23 pm

Nef

Sorry, had a phone call. Yesterday someone insisted that since my name was in the grid I got the tiara. I said I didn't want it; and just decided that I'd pass it on today. Tor, you got lucky! ;-)

9:28 pm

cosdem

your babbler name is in th egrid though!

9:29 pm

Nef

OH, DRAT! I totally missed it! You can have mine, then.

9:43 pm

MollyL

Tor gets the Babble six-pack. (No princess he, but a prince among men)

9:45 pm

cosdem

I'm a man but I want to be a princess!

9:46 pm

MollyL

You can have the tiara then Cos. : ) Maybe you can save it and wear it on Weed Bowl Sunday.

9:46 pm

cosdem

Yes! Excellent.

9:46 pm

Nef

Good one Molly.

9:47 pm

cosdem

I have Big Trouble in Little China on now.

9:50 pm

torgone

Wahey! Babble six-pack!

9:51 pm

Nef

Any time my name is in the grid, cos; you can have the tiara for the day. I am not a tiara lady; nor do I ever wear hats or scarves. Back in the day that nurses wore caps, mine was always falling off and when I anchored it securely; it would pull my hair out.

9:52 pm

MollyL

I'm so disappointed that the Niners lost. *Sends sympathy flowers to Ru*

Hi Min. I'd wandered off to play Words with Friends and also do some puzzles; not concentrating on the grid tonight

11:06 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! I started grid at flip and got 70 words. Then I didn't get back here again until about 10:30. I listed and got down to 5 words and then I finished. at 11:14

11:07 pm

Nef

I have 75 words left; I'm stuck seeing the same non-words now

11:11 pm

Jacula

Here to clue if anyone wants or needs....

11:13 pm

Nef

Hi Jac. I'm afraid that my interest in this grid has w 4/8d and may wander off again.

11:13 pm

Nef

How are you doing (Gosh, is it 4 AM there? That's not good!

11:19 pm

Jacula

5:18am and my other half is getting up for work, Nef.

11:20 pm

Nef

oh, that makes some sense then. (But I hate to getup that early myself)

11:23 pm

Jacula

Ask for clues if you want. I'll be here for about half an hour.

11:23 pm

Nef

okay, I do need a clue for the 8 I guess.

11:24 pm

Nef

And thanks for offering too

11:25 pm

Jacula

or8/45 - plural of the or7/32. People who either try to boss others around or go onto a website to buy stuff.

11:25 pm

rururocks

people who pick menu items and ask the waitress for them

11:26 pm

rururocks

ior 8

11:26 pm

rururocks

or 8 that is

11:26 pm

Nef

thanks! And I had that 7, just didn't see the pl

11:28 pm

Jacula

Wellm nef, when you're finishing the grid, it's always the plurals or the word that form the first four letters of the longer words you've already found, and therefore think you've already typed in, the make up the stragglers.

11:29 pm

Jacula

Can't be bothered to correct all the typos - I'm sure you know what I meant to say. lol

11:30 pm

Nef

Thank; I do understand Jac. That's the way I type (and sometimes talk too)

11:30 pm

nbt, how hard can the rest be? lol

11:35 pm

Nef

For me Gwen, words became invisible around 70 left

11:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

say it isn't so!

11:36 pm

Jacula

Severe frost outisde,. Other half is cooling previously boiled water to pour onto his windscreen to defrost it.

11:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

looks like it's almost all 4s and 5s -- fingers crossed

11:36 pm

Nef

It could just be my distractibility today, though

11:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

here in michigan we scrape frost off the car -- you don't scrape?

11:38 pm

Nef

We scrape here in MN too; pouring hot water on a windshield here would just freeze it over again

11:38 pm

Jacula

Yes, we scrape, but sometimes more is needed. You can't pour boiling water onto your windscreen because that would crack it, so we have to cool it.

11:39 pm

Jacula

Gwen - I think our weather is cooling due to the results of a warmed-up Hercules coming over thee Atlantic to us.

11:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, yeah, i understood what you meant about cooling off the boiling water! (i heard recently about some nitwit who tried to warm up her car by burning something underneath it. Boom.

11:40 pm

Jacula

Gwen - boo,? Oh dear! Sillybi... erm, woman. lol

11:41 pm

Jacula

Other half has gone off to work now.

11:42 pm

periwinkle

words with friends

11:44 pm

Jacula

Oh yes. Sorry, peri, I'm not signed into FB right now and my word games haven't been flaggn up new moves by others for ages. I've only just found the latest Scrabble move from a friend that she made about a week ago.

11:44 pm

periwinkle

ok, I can

11:44 pm

periwinkle

I can't resign tho.

11:45 pm

periwinkle

in the last game I started with you I kept getting a message that the game was out of sync. the game eventually disappeared

11:45 pm

periwinkle

I sure wish I could taste things

11:46 pm

Jacula

In fact, peri, I'm beginning to think that a post another friend made about the lessening of notifications from others since the privacy things changed on FB perhaps being a step towards them making us pay to see stuff, is maybe true.

11:46 pm

Nef

After about 10 days-2 weeks it will resign for you peri. I had that happen to me, Jac. I'm not sure how that happened nor do I know how it was fixed....

11:46 pm

bfsog

anyone clue the re6,21?

11:47 pm

We should set up some kind offical lottery site for guesses on the size of the grid. We could either get prize money or private spelling it out clues for a percentage of grid words. lol

11:53 pm

11:54 pm

Minveryork

I wonder how many babblers were able to finish the 744.

11:54 pm

rururocks

is that anything like Lawrence Welk's bubble machine?

11:55 pm

cosdem

I did but that was back then when I had no life, no job, no hope lol

11:55 pm

uusue2

before the 744, I think the record had been about 520

11:55 pm

Jacula

I dunno, ruru, ask Dr_God.

11:55 pm

periwinkle

I finished it

11:55 pm

periwinkle

ruru how are you dealing with the drought?

11:55 pm

Minveryork

Good for you periwinkle!

11:56 pm

Jacula

I finished it, too, peri, I always finish unless I'm not here. lol

11:57 pm

Jacula

When I'm not here, if I can find an internet connectin, I get the puzzle up and do it on paper.

11:58 pm

Jacula

And if I can't, I just let it go. lol

11:58 pm

harpjane

when was the 744? i sort of recall.
