flosey

this happened one night of a large grid, one word wouldn't show

1:18 am

puglet

did you try refreshig

1:19 am

flosey

yes, and send words to babble, typed it in several times

1:19 am

puglet

it was doing that to me and I refreshed the page and it stopped

1:19 am

puglet

that sucks flosey

1:19 am

flosey

lol

1:19 am

flosey

but yes, on a large grid, it does

1:22 am

flosey

they're entered now, went out and back in

1:22 am

flosey

but that other night, it didn't work

1:23 am

flosey

perhaps the tantrum is settled

1:23 am

puglet

glad you got it fixed

1:23 am

flosey

tks, can be frustrating

1:24 am

puglet

yes it can be--not good for the blood pressure-lol

1:24 am

flosey

I've given up on babble a few times - always come back

1:25 am

puglet

weather has been stormy here and there and I think it plays apart in the trouble sometimes

1:25 am

flosey

perhaps

1:25 am

flosey

we've had great weather here lately

1:26 am

puglet

they had all kinds of storms on the radar yesterday and last night, but it missed us but did get it monday

1:27 am

puglet

we are in a cool spell right now but thats my kind of weather :)

1:29 am

flosey

easier to work when it's cooler

1:30 am

puglet

it is and everything else too-lol well maybe not getting into the river

1:32 am

flosey

I've never been swimming in the ocean here

1:33 am

puglet

I dont even know how to swim-------are you afraid to

1:34 am

flosey

no, it isn't that, just don't bother, we had a pool in Ontario - was nice to have a quick swim to cool down at night

1:35 am

flosey

I'm not much of a swimmer either

1:35 am

puglet

do you have to worry about sharks there

1:36 am

flosey

no, have never heard of any here

1:39 am

flosey

my brother was playing golf in Florida and there were aligators on the course

1:40 am

puglet

thats about as bad

1:40 am

flosey

would be enough to keep me off that course

1:40 am

puglet

lol, me too

1:41 am

puglet

Ive never tried golf but would like to I think

1:42 am

flosey

I didn't play enough to be any good, just enjoyed the peacefulness of the course

1:42 am

puglet

there are some pretty courses for sure

1:43 am

puglet

I dont know about being good at it either but driving the carts looks more fun-lol

1:43 am

flosey

yes

1:44 am

flosey

lol, used a cart when with my Dad but otherwise, walked

1:45 am

puglet

I dont guess they would like someone zooming about on the course-lol

1:46 am

flosey

no, that would be frowned upon

1:46 am

puglet

LOL---I figured as much

1:47 am

flosey

no loud voices either, mustn't interfere with someone's shot

1:47 am

puglet

I could see me and my pug with her goggles on having fun

1:48 am

puglet

well they wouldnt have to worry on that with me-lol

1:48 am

puglet

I have played croquet and I like that

1:49 am

flosey

1:49 am

puglet

but its been awhile since Ive done that too

1:50 am

puglet

I always liked volleyball too and softball but dont do any of that stuffanymore

1:51 am

flosey

1:52 am

puglet

1:54 am

flosey

1:54 am

flosey

1:55 am

puglet

good morning, Babblers

6:40 am

Anniebrook

hi JBV

6:41 am

JBV

Annie - I just missed you yesterday - came in at the end of a conversation about swimming in ocean at Coney Island.... thought of you...

6:41 am

JBV

have you seen the latest cover of the New Yorker?

6:42 am

Anniebrook

The latest copy I have is July 7 & 14 of the new WTC

6:42 am

JBV

here's a link: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/\nculture/2014/07/cover-story-mark-ulrik\nsen-coney-island.html#slide_ss_0=1

6:43 am

JBV

mine arrived in yesterday's mail

6:43 am

Anniebrook

Then I didnt get the latest copy again...will probably be in the mail this week. I have a link to the archives. will look at it later.

6:43 am

JBV

i think the fact that the artist lives in San Francisco says it all

6:44 am

Anniebrook

My favorite mag. Have a subscrip for about 50 years on and off. This time on for about 15 years.

6:45 am

bichon

Let's here it for The NewYorker

6:45 am

JBV

something just happened with my chatbox

6:45 am

Anniebrook

I must have been in my early 20's when I read a story that made me fall off the sofa laughing. It was the first Woody Allen story published in the NYer

6:45 am

JBV

the text keeps on going past the right margin

6:45 am

JBV

any tech help out there?????

6:46 am

JBV

Woody Allen still contributes and you know who else

6:46 am

JBV

is very funny? Jesse Eisenberg, the young actor

6:46 am

doseffing

... you may have simply made the display larger ... you might be at 125%

6:46 am

JBV

he has Woody Allen's weird sense of humor

6:46 am

Anniebrook

I must go back and look for his name

6:46 am

MollyL

Here is a tinyurl for that link:
http://tinyurl.com/qy4nl5q

6:46 am

Anniebrook

Oh, now I remember

6:48 am

Anniebrook

If I open the magazine online I wind up reading the entire magazine .

6:48 am

Anniebrook

My daughter thinks David Sedaris is very funny.

6:48 am

crosshair

the babble server hates long urls or long test postings:(

6:49 am

MollyL

The text will continue going past the right margin
until the long link below clears the bottom of chat.

6:49 am

JBV

oh, sorry, Molly, I had no idea it was my fault!

6:49 am

JBV

will avoid that in the future

6:49 am

bichon

Great cover, bt I would not swim with my mouth open at Coney Island

6:49 am

JBV

David Sedaris - also one of my favorites

6:50 am

MollyL

Not a problem, it usually flushes in
a few minutes. : )

6:50 am

Anniebrook

will be back in a bit

6:50 am

MollyL

Good point Bich : D

6:50 am

JBV

that's why I said the fact that the artist

6:51 am

JBV

lives in san Francisco says it all

6:51 am

JBV

he has no idea

6:51 am

JBV

cute picture, though

6:51 am

bichon

Roz Chast is one of my favorites

6:52 am

JBV

oh, me too, she's brilliant

6:52 am

JBV

did you see the one she did about her parents?

6:52 am

JBV

funny but very touching

6:52 am

JBV

about moving to assisted living

6:53 am

MollyL

It's strange how some people get that
extended chat box and some do not

6:53 am

JBV

i'm typing short messages

6:53 am

JBV

to keep the chat moving

6:53 am

JBV

and "flush" out the problem : )

6:53 am

MollyL

You are a good plumber : )

6:54 am

JBV

right, and all for free

6:54 am

JBV

in my next life, I think I'll become a plumber

6:54 am

bichon

Yes, that was a masterpiece JBV

6:54 am

crosshair

speaking of Coney Island, it is now time for Crossy's tidbit of the day! Today I am featuring the most toxic body of water on the planets. Yes indeed. Just standing by this lake for longer than an hour will sign your death warrant!! http://tinyurl.com/crgzfz

6:56 am

bichon

7:02 am

MollyL

I hope so Bich

7:10 am

bichon

What are the two voice level Jack can speak in? Whisper and shout.

7:10 am

bichon

I have to admit it was fun, and I liked his CIA sidekick. But, something out of the old mold

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

Jack MUST come back!!!

7:13 am

MollyL

I would love a regular summer installment of 24. It's a nice break from all the re-runs.

7:14 am

bichon

We'll see. I never thought "The Killing" would come back, but it will be on Netflix next month

7:14 am

bichon

That would be good Molly. Is it on Netflix?

7:15 am

MollyL

No, but it's on Amazon Prime and I have that.

good morning! halfway, nbt and nbs :)

8:54 am

Trifioso

good morning friends. It is an absolutely dreadful day here - downpour, thunder, the whole shebang. And I have outdoor concert tickets tonight, naturally....

8:55 am

HarryHood

thunder here too

8:56 am

Trifioso

bummer

8:56 am

HarryHood

I'm loving it - though I should probably turn off the pc

8:56 am

Trifioso

it was so cute this morning - I went out to my garage, and there was the sweetest little toad hanging out on a towel on the floor. NO ONE is enjoying the rain here, it seems

8:57 am

HarryHood

heh - MA weather is supposed to dry out this evening - you should be fine

8:58 am

Trifioso

latest report says not until at least 9....concert starts at 7:30. I don't mind getting wet, but the thought of the lightening is daunting.

8:58 am

HarryHood

yes - unless it's the electric light orchestra

8:58 am

HarryHood

or lightning hopkins

8:59 am

HarryHood

or thunderbolt newman

8:59 am

HarryHood

ooh I'm on a roll

8:59 am

Trifioso

nope - the bad boys from boston themselves, harry!

8:59 am

Trifioso

I am SO EXCITED!!! I love me some steven tyler, yes I do

9:00 am

HarryHood

dream on, trif

9:02 am

Trifioso

I figure the rain HAS to quit - it wouldn't DARE rain on the boys on their home turf, right?

9:02 am

HarryHood

can he still hit those high notes?

9:02 am

Trifioso

actually, I find the secret to being outside in the rain is to instantly embrace that you are going to get very, very wet. Trying to stay dry is pointless and futile. Get WET, then relax.

9:03 am

HarryHood

I never minded getting wet, as long as it's not chilly. But lightning - that's another story

9:03 am

Trifioso

I will let you know tomorrow. Mind you, if the lightening hits the mike stand, he will be singing in heaven

9:03 am

HarryHood

my favorite image is jerry garcia in a wild storm, standing on stage with his long silver hair blowing back

9:04 am

Trifioso

very,very cool. I have seen plenty of bands in the rain. Sometimes it's good, sometimes - not so much.

9:04 am

rururocks

He can't hit those high notes any longer

9:05 am

HarryHood

he'll have to get a pinch-singer

9:05 am

Trifioso

poor thing....if he needs my help I will hop up there and help out

9:06 am

Trifioso

I have to organize so many things before we go! Tailgate food, ponchos, dry clothes, beer, try to find some other stuff for valentine, etc...but all in good fun

9:07 am

HarryHood

I hope you have a great time. Should be nice and cool, anyway

9:07 am

Trifioso

indeed.

9:08 am

Trifioso

this is when I love having a big vehicle - put the seats down in the back, spread out the picnic blanket, a few touch lights....very fun

9:11 am

HarryHood

I was thinking of trying to get tickets to the tedeschi trucks band - coming in december. They're already almost sold out!

9:18 am

Trifioso

12:17 pm

cybernan

same here -- did take french -- at the time I was school aged that was all that was offered here unless you wanted to take a 2nd language by correspondence. Most of us took French as a 2nd language was required for university entrance then.

12:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

counting down!

12:19 pm

cybernan

I think a 2nd language should be required for high school graduation ---- it is downright embarrassing that our students are basically uneducated in language compared to their european counterparts.

12:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

agree, we should teach languages, but not in high school, by then it's much too late. they should be taught from age 4 to age 7, give or take

12:20 pm

cybernan

starting in kindergarten, certainly

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

children can learn languages easily at that age. tons of research backs this us

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

I was lucky, in NYC there was a special program in which I started French when I was 11, in 7th grade. Then two more years in HS, 2 in college and voila, now I am living here! lol

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i studies german in high school for 3 years and came away with very little

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

I couldn't speak much when we moved here, but my aural understanding was pretty good. Now I'm pretty much bi-lingual

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

but from singing in many languages, and from studing heraldry, i can sort of understand a little of many languages

12:22 pm

cybernan

we lived in quebec when our daughter started school. She had french from grade 3 and was fluent by grade 5 --- then we moved and french wasn't offered until grade 9. By that time she had lost most of it.

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sehr gut, rubyfoo!

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

hmm, hat could that mean? lol, gwen

12:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

my third grade teacher was Mrs. Altschuler, and she was indeed, LOL

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

From watching TV here and looking for films with Fr subtitles (husband is deaf, but can read French), I've picked upsome Germank and can tell what they're speaking about in several languages without really knowing with precision

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

The key for me is that I don't translate, so can speak fast and understand

12:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the part of the brain that understands a foreign lang is much easier to use than the part you need to speak a foreign lang

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

I never got better than a C inFr in school, though. My teachers would spin in their graves.....

12:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i'm off, unless anyone wants another cloooo

MLFAN17

my brain dies out on occasions too

1:05 pm

MLFAN17

i found it ty

1:06 pm

MLFAN17

:)

1:06 pm

amelu0218

yvw.

1:07 pm

amelu0218

I usually have to list and that's when I realize that the singulars that I've typed didn't take but the plurals did, lol. I type too fast.

1:08 pm

MLFAN17

somehow we miss one or the other

1:09 pm

amelu0218

and, of course, there are those that you saw "take" but didn't make it into the list after all...

1:09 pm

amelu0218

I know I'm not the only one that happens to.

1:10 pm

MLFAN17

or you think you put the word in but didnt. i have found words that i entered and later entered them againi because they were not there

1:11 pm

amelu0218

exactly! it's probably just my internet lagging but there are definitely words that get the green bar but aren't there when I go to lickety.

1:14 pm

MLFAN17

i think it has a mind of its own lol

1:14 pm

amelu0218

there is that. AI, doncha know.

1:15 pm

MLFAN17

its never human error right?:0

1:16 pm

amelu0218

1:17 pm

MLFAN17

i swear i have had so many problems finding 4 and 5 letter words in the past few grids its ridiculous

1:18 pm

amelu0218

I feel your pain. Maybe it's babble overload?

1:19 pm

amelu0218

I get toward the end and *poof* my eye to brain coordination is gone.

1:20 pm

MLFAN17

well, i am not on facebook much due to the fact that the computer was hacked from it it has major problems

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

so i babble more now instead and because i do it more i get determined to finish as many as i can. I had 70 left from yesterday's but the smaller ones i dont finish at all

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

and my husband doesnt want me on fb anyway coputer is very loud which is because of facebook but long before it got hacked

1:22 pm

amelu0218

howdy do all?

2:45 pm

crosshair

howdy jes

2:47 pm

jesdraggon

hey crossy, how goes?

2:48 pm

crosshair

going well:) always something going on to keep me busy:)

2:49 pm

jesdraggon

as long as it's busy and not overwhelmed :)

2:49 pm

crosshair

I cannot do overwhelmed:(

2:49 pm

crosshair

and you ? How are things with our resident babble vet?

2:50 pm

jesdraggon

pretty good; the usual monthly arguing with clients about bills, got 7 raccoon babies to raise, had a heat stroke over the weekend, ya know how it is :)

2:51 pm

crosshair

I owned a racoon once... never again

2:51 pm

crosshair

though they trainv ery easily

2:51 pm

jesdraggon

oh, these are not for pets, they will be released in the woods later this year

2:52 pm

crosshair

the one i had would sell his soul for a bit of bacon

2:52 pm

crosshair

he was later released as well

2:52 pm

jesdraggon

I don't need pets that are smarter and more destructive than I am!

2:52 pm

crosshair

that coon could open doors that even i could not get open!

2:53 pm

crosshair

trained him to a litter box in 2 days

2:53 pm

crosshair

but once his leg healed he wanted to move on

2:54 pm

jesdraggon

well, they latrine naturally, so I imagine litter boxes would be easy to manage. But I've never tried - mine live in outside pens with trees and the rain until they're big enough to kick out.

2:55 pm

crosshair

oh, they are super easy to train, but as you know they love the nighttime and chew on everything

2:55 pm

jesdraggon

among the reasons that they stay outside and aren't pets :)

2:55 pm

crosshair

as he got better, ours used to like to get on top of the fridge and pounce on peoples heads as they walked by

2:56 pm

jesdraggon

dangerous. and not so good to let them get used to people and handling either.

2:56 pm

crosshair

then one day he was walking well and we set it up so he spent more and more time outside and some pretty girl raccoon turned his head and he was off

2:57 pm

crosshair

I know. they are never meant to be pets

2:57 pm

jesdraggon

makes them less likely to do well when you release them, and more likely to get in trouble with an unsuspecting person in the future that thinks they're rabid because they're not scared.

2:57 pm

crosshair

he was back where he belonged in less than a month

2:58 pm

crosshair

we did not have the resources to do anything else and with him dragging he leg like that, it was best option at the time

2:59 pm

periwinkle

30 left and I just found the le4 that runs along the bottom row :(

3:00 pm

crosshair

the one time we brought him to a vet.. $200,00 later!! we were told he must have fallen from a tree and hyperextended a few things in his leg and up into the shoulder and time would heal it. Since we could not afford to pay for vet storage time, we kept him till he could walk

3:00 pm

MollyL

Hi Peri. Sometimes the obvious is so elusive.
: )

3:00 pm

periwinkle

hi Molly, indeed

3:01 pm

jesdraggon

i'm sure he appreciated it at the time, i just hope it didn't lead to issues with someone else later. I'm surprised the veterinary clinic didn't refer you to a rehabber, but maybe rules are different in canada.

3:01 pm

jesdraggon

here, it's illegal for someone who's not a licensed rehabber to keep wildlife.

3:01 pm

periwinkle

but I did find the Hawaiian goose early on

3:01 pm

crosshair

I do not know of any wildlife rehab centres here exept for one up north for large animals, bears, wolves etc

3:01 pm

MollyL

What? Were there not a dozen "Hawaiian goose alerts"?

3:02 pm

periwinkle

I don't know. I did not see then

3:02 pm

periwinkle

them, even

3:02 pm

periwinkle

maybe at the flip.

3:02 pm

periwinkle

29left and stuck

3:03 pm

MollyL

There are many odd words in this grid.

3:03 pm

jesdraggon

Yeah, sometimes they're hard to find - I'm apparently the only person in several counties that will raise raccoons. But that just means Fish & Wildlife wants them transported to me, not that they approve of people raising them in house.

3:03 pm

crosshair

and since i cannot get a bear to use a litter box, they get all my business for bear issues!

3:04 pm

jesdraggon

(also, why I have so many)

3:04 pm

jesdraggon

I wouldn't be surprised if a place that takes large predators would also take 'coons.

3:04 pm

periwinkle

bbs, need a snack

3:05 pm

jesdraggon

I don't have the facilities for adult carnivores.... I'd have to pass bears on to the university

3:05 pm

crosshair

well, the one time was 25 years ago. if it ever happens again, i shall research it

3:05 pm

jesdraggon

and looks like my appointment is here, so off I go again.

3:05 pm

crosshair

our wildlife sanctuary also has a moose with health issues

3:05 pm

crosshair

tc jes

3:16 pm

periwinkle

I am back with homemade guacamole and pita chips

3:17 pm

periwinkle

down to 25 words. monkeys are being helpful for a change

3:17 pm

MollyL

Peri loves her guacamole and chips

3:18 pm

periwinkle

I do. and I never buy the store bought any more

3:18 pm

Soodle

Elbowing my way past Babblers to sit beside Peri & shaare chips n guacamole...

3:19 pm

periwinkle

haha, Soodle * passes guac and chips*

3:19 pm

Soodle

Ta :-) Slurp!

3:23 pm

Soodle

Ho hum. Break over. Back to cutting the grass. Thanks for the virtual snack, Peri.

3:30 pm

periwinkle

18 monkeys are very helpful today.

4:08 pm

MollyL

*Considers hiring a swarthy lawn team for Soodle*

4:10 pm

MollyL

Peri, I hate to break it to you, but there are no monkeys. Just your good imagination thinking of different ways to make words. : P

4:32 pm

Soodle

The swarthier the better, Molly. I fought the lawn tonight, and the lawn won.

4:36 pm

Soodle

AND! (on a trumpet blowing exercise), I made tomorrow's dinner, I wrote a snail mail letter to my elderly aunt, I painted my toe-nails (hat-tip to Peri) and I cleaned the oven.

4:38 pm

MollyL

God bless you, you wrote a "real" letter. That is such a lost art form these days.

4:39 pm

Soodle

She is a nun, Molls. She doesn't 'do' email.

4:41 pm

Soodle

About 300 years ago, I got a caligraphy set. Whenever I write to her, I use it. Proper ink nice paper. I actually enjoy using it.

4:41 pm

MollyL

No matter. I love words and I feel sad that people no longer care to write them in long hand. Or even on the internet. I mean, how hard it is to type out "take care" or "have a good day" to someone?

4:42 pm

MollyL

Ah, nice paper. Stationary. I bet that is hard to find these days.

4:43 pm

Soodle

Well (as usual, for me, there is an ulterior motive). Auntie Ella (the nun) prays for us non-stop. I like to keep on her good side.

4:43 pm

MollyL

Ugh, stationery. See, it's so antiquated I forgot how to spell it.

4:46 pm

MollyL

My kindred soul, John O'Donohue tells a story about a village elder that he asked "keep me in your prayers". The next time he saw her, she said "I have you every morning and every evening". His thought on that was "how nice that someone keeps you in the sanctuary of their spirit twice a day".

Hi, all

4:52 pm

leaving for vacation tomorrow. We'e taking the granddaughter to California

4:52 pm

Hi Jax

4:53 pm

jaxx7

New specs are awful. I am going to have to go back to the optician and moan.

4:54 pm

jaxx7

After I have been to hospital tomorrow for eyedrops and sarcastic comments

4:58 pm

Soodle

Hey Bich n Jaxx. :-)

4:58 pm

jaxx7

soodle!!!!!!

4:59 pm

Soodle

I believe the dreaded meet up turned out quite positive, Jaxx? I seem to have missed ypu online...

5:00 pm

Soodle

'You'

5:01 pm

MollyL

Oh yes, this

5:01 pm

jaxx7

We have been interrogated by the SS (appropriate that) and the manager that wants this to be a child protection issue has visited Julie. She complained about the cupboard under the stairs being untidy, a computer being in the living room and the garden being overgrown so Ashley can't play in it!

5:03 pm

jaxx7

Then she decided that there should be a meeting with all parties to get Ashley designated as 'vulnerable' which is less serious than the other thing.

5:04 pm

jaxx7

Bichon, enjoy your family vacation. Children grow up all too quickly these days so make the most of it

5:04 pm

Soodle

I guess following the Jimmy Saville & Rolf Harris thing all these 'professionals' are looking over their collective shoulders.

5:06 pm

jaxx7

Devon County Council was criticised for the quality of their child protection and there was a shake-up of managers. This woman is desperate to impress, apparently. I would rather she didn't do it with my family thank you

5:09 pm

Soodle

Jaxx, at the end of the day, as long as the little person is in no danger, is cared for & loved, job done!

5:09 pm

jaxx7

I have mixed feelings about the historical abuse cases. I feel there is an element of cash grabbing in there somewhere.

5:10 pm

jaxx7

I totally agree, soodle, but I could do without the worry.

5:10 pm

jaxx7

back to the point of babble. I do not like this grid.

5:16 pm

Soodle

An elderly temperamental lawn mower being coaxed & cajoled by an elderly temperamental lady can be exhausting. I'm banjaxed, & off to bed. G'night all.

5:20 pm

jaxx7

Night, soodle. Sleep well and I would have loved to be a fly in your garden! Thanks for being a pal

Hi harp.x

9:41 pm

I'm not here for long so you really do need to ask for clues, those here and lurkers, if you want them.

9:44 pm

Not many takers for this! in fact, none.

9:45 pm

Just finished major sneezing fit as dawn is about to break in UK. Damn! Another hayfever day.

need 4 to finish- fo5 and 3 fo6

9:47 pm

Uneaixoise

fo + 3/4 of baby cow

9:47 pm

Uneaixoise

fo + baby cow

9:47 pm

Uneaixoise

fo + 3/4 of baby cow + vowel

9:48 pm

Jacula

Hi jimmel. fo5 describes a small pit or depression in a bone, fo 6 is the Latin plural and the next fo6 is the adjectival form, and the next a plural. fo6/36: fo + beef from male calves kept inside in the dark. This should give you the rest of the words.

9:49 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, jac :-)

9:50 pm

Hi Une.x How are you?
