12:47 am

jbp

I miss being here, yolking it up with you all

12:47 am

Lizlin

Words are taking sooooo long to enter.

12:47 am

rururocks

12:48 am

puglet

that can happen when you take a fall

12:48 am

puglet

you having trouble Liz

12:49 am

jbp

(picturing ruru with arms flailing in circular barrel motion, thrying to keep balance)

12:49 am

Lizlin

Think my computer doesn't like the cold weather.

12:51 am

puglet

you liking your job, jbp

12:52 am

jbp

actually, mostly yes. I started in March, and was supposed to work thgouh June 2nd.

12:53 am

jbp

and it keeps getting extended, but not in any... organized way? it's very weird

12:53 am

jbp

but the work, I like

12:53 am

jbp

except for it cutting into my babbletime

12:53 am

puglet

is it just a part time job

12:53 am

puglet

thats good

12:53 am

Lizlin

Better than job hunting though.

12:53 am

jbp

it's full time, but contract

12:54 am

jbp

usually, they give you a time frame --3 months for example. and then they can decide whether they want to extend another 3 monghs

12:54 am

puglet

Liz, have you enjoyed being home

12:54 am

jbp

I worked in the same job like this for 8 years.

12:54 am

Lizlin

Yes - but I'm finding it pretty cold.

12:55 am

jbp

anyhoo, what's up with your weather, Lizlin?

12:55 am

puglet

its to be up in the high 80's this week and muggy-:(

12:55 am

Lizlin

Night time temps close to freezing - our house doesn't get much sun during the day. We were away for 5 weeks, so the house got really cold and hasn't really warmed up yet.

12:56 am

Lizlin

Think I said before that we don't have central heating here. We're looking at putting in an electric fire into our main living room.

12:56 am

jbp

well, at least your pipes didn't freeze!

12:56 am

puglet

I like the cold better then the heat

12:56 am

Lizlin

True - not quite that cold.

12:57 am

jbp

I am just the opposite. I can GET warm, but I find it hard to cool off.

12:57 am

jbp

it there are gnats, why are there not gnits?

12:58 am

Lizlin

Good question :)

12:58 am

4:06 am

rubyfoo

wold unget be that letter?

4:06 am

flosey

ah, thanks west - and how are you doing

4:06 am

rubyfoo

hell adies. {{Westford}} I haven't seen you in ages.

4:06 am

westford

doing okay I should be sleeping lol

4:07 am

westford

hi (( ruby )) we never seem to be on at the same time but I think of you often.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

tank you It is a funny summer -- very hot, then periods of heavy rain. I think there'll be a ot of fruit but ogs and I will be moldy

4:08 am

rubyfoo

my pinkie is getting less and less effective

4:08 am

westford

in fact I was just talking about you today..CA daughter asked if we were following the bike race..

4:09 am

westford

she said it has been hard to watch with all the crashes

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I am watching for hours every day. My "chouchou" Valverde is in second place, but I think he won't make it to the podium. Is your daughter a fan ecause of the Tour de Caifornie

4:10 am

westford

did you plant tomatoes..I've heard they love rain

4:10 am

rubyfoo

It is the most crashes and the most "abandonees" that I've ever seen

4:11 am

westford

her husband does the ironman so he rides and rides

4:11 am

rubyfoo

My tomatoes are numerous but not ripe; the fig tree has 100's of figs (ditto) and my Mirabelle plum, which I thought was dead 2 yrs ago is covered with unripe fruit

4:12 am

westford

I am so envious. My Brownie troop gave me a plum tree and we moved so I had to leave it

4:13 am

rubyfoo

what kind of plums?

4:13 am

westford

will you make fig jam ?

4:13 am

westford

I really don't know..purple lol

4:13 am

westford

sweet and juicy

4:14 am

rubyfoo

If they make it to ripeness, I will eat them with ha, with dried beef, plain, with salad and MAYBBE will even make jam. I will also give some away if they all make it

4:15 am

westford

then we moved back to CA and our back yard had grapefruit, peach, nectarine and even kumquats

4:15 am

rubyfoo

these are green figs, not as soft and sweet as the black ones, ut eating them warm off the tree is a great treat

4:15 am

westford

the leaves come in handy for clothing too

4:16 am

flosey

our young fig tree is producing this year, first time

4:16 am

rubyfoo

We had a sanguine peach tree for about 4 years, but it is a little bit too cold here and its last year, it had about 200 peaches and promptly died

4:16 am

ChrissieDee

Lurking giggle west :)

4:16 am

rubyfoo

how big is it, fosey?

4:16 am

westford

such a treat to pick right off the tree, isn't it ?

4:16 am

westford

hi crissie

4:17 am

rubyfoo

but I've learned, the hard way unfortunately, not to eat "drops"

4:17 am

rubyfoo

hi chrissie

4:17 am

ChrissieDee

Hi west, ruby, flosey

4:17 am

flosey

can't remember when it was planted, not big, base stem might be 4" through

4:17 am

flosey

hi Chrissie

4:17 am

westford

don't know if it's still true but used to be in CA they taxed you according to the number of fruit trees you had and also the number of toilets.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

when we planted ours it was smaller than I am, but we put it against a south-facing wal and it is enormous now

4:18 am

westford

which you'd need if you ate the drops

4:18 am

flosey

if they drop, does it mean they're overripe?

4:18 am

rubyfoo

we can't use insecticide, so you can imagine what lives in the drops

4:19 am

rubyfoo

no, worms!

4:19 am

flosey

hmmm, you're making me nervous

4:19 am

ChrissieDee

Euwww

4:19 am

westford

what's worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm?

4:19 am

westford

finding half a worm

4:20 am

rubyfoo

exactly. They're the only thing I fear

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Extra protein :-)

4:20 am

ChrissieDee

Euwwww

4:20 am

westford

You have a wonderful apple crop flosey no need to fear

4:20 am

westford

haha zooz

4:20 am

ChrissieDee

Euwwe zooz

4:20 am

rubyfoo

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Teehee!

4:21 am

flosey

we may even get some kiwis this year - planted a male and female many years ago, male died and didn't do anything about it for years, then planted one beside it - male had 1 flower this year - and looks like we're getting fruit this year - right now they look like furry olives

4:21 am

westford

that's so cool flosey

4:21 am

flosey

hope they mature

4:21 am

westford

bringing a little bit of New Zealand to Canada

4:22 am

rubyfoo

that is really nice, flosey

4:22 am

flosey

there are a couple of meyer lemon trees on the Island

4:22 am

westford

when I was younger my dad told me about male and female trees and I didn't believe him

4:23 am

rubyfoo

that was his way of telling you about the birds and the bees lol

4:23 am

westford

I guess so lol

4:23 am

rubyfoo

We had a lot of strawberries and raspberries, but I left them for the birds as it's just too much work picking them

4:23 am

flosey

it is true last year there were so many flowers but the entire bloom and bud fell off - this year just the petals fell, leaving the little nubs

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I did, however, make 10 pots of currant jelly, also a lot of work, but worth it come January

4:24 am

ChrissieDee

Are you booting today zooz?

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Yep just waiting for my sister to come and pick me up. Hence why I was in stealth mode :-)

4:25 am

ChrissieDee

Hope you find treasure :)

4:25 am

westford

is that what we call a flea market only people sell things out of the trunks (boots) of their cars ?

4:26 am

flosey

booting?

4:26 am

zoozzoom

It is, Westford.

4:26 am

ChrissieDee

Car boot sale flosey

4:26 am

westford

do you ever sell or just go to look and buy ?

4:26 am

flosey

ah, wondered if it was hiking,

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Car boot or car trunk, Flosey :-)

4:26 am

flosey

interesting

4:27 am

zoozzoom

You never know, Chrissie, although over here it seems to be just total rubbish people try and sell..lol

4:27 am

rubyfoo

flea markets here are too formal and too far from the house. And nobody has garage or lawn sales or I would as I have a garageful of unused stuff

4:27 am

ChrissieDee

lol, same around here zooz

4:28 am

westford

here too

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I used to find treasures when I lived in NY state

4:28 am

zoozzoom

No jut go to look and sometimes buy, Westford.It is just to get my dad out and about really.As he stays in most days all day.Nice for him to get out.

4:28 am

westford

I've thought about doing a yard sale but it's so much work and not very profitable

4:29 am

flosey

we have a farmers' Market in the Park every Saturday throughout the growing season - very successful

4:29 am

westford

that's nice of you zooz I'll bet he really enjoys it..does your mom go with ?

4:29 am

zoozzoom

No she goes swimming with her friends :-)

4:30 am

zoozzoom

I bet you get to but some nice food products, Flosey!

4:30 am

westford

here we have Big Brothers and Big Sisters and every couple of months they collect used items so I save up stuff and they come and pick it up..good deal all around

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Well I say swimming.More like bobbing up and down til they reach the other end of the swimming lane and back again..lol

4:31 am

flosey

actually, we grow our own, hubby retired from teaching with dreams of getting back to the farm where he grew up

4:31 am

westford

pool or ocean ?

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Pool.

4:31 am

westford

good exercise and good company

4:31 am

flosey

even that is good for them, zooz - keeping active

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Wow nice, Flosey, Although it does sound like a lot of work.

4:32 am

flosey

he loves it

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Big brother big sister?

4:32 am

westford

does he have William interested in it too flosey ?

4:32 am

flosey

in the Winter he pours over the seed catelogues

4:33 am

westford

It's a charity that pairs young boys and girls with adults for mentoring and companionship a very worthwhile group

4:33 am

flosey

not yet, but his mom and dad bought a Christmas tree this year, blue spruce, with balled earth surrounding roots - it is now planted here

4:33 am

zoozzoom

Ahh that sounds wonderful, Westford!

4:34 am

westford

blue spruce..my favorite

4:34 am

flosey

really stands out amongst the many huge cedars here

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Can get some nice cones from them too!

4:35 am

westford

before we were married I asked my husband what kind of Christmas tree he preferred..meaning real or artificial..he said blue spruce or scotch pine

4:36 am

rubyfoo

and I'm ure the birds love it

4:36 am

westford

if he'd said artificial that would have been a deal breaker

4:36 am

rubyfoo

I rescued another stunned bird this AM, got to it before the dogs did

4:37 am

westford

good job ruby

4:37 am

zoozzoom

Stunned as in flew into your window?

4:37 am

rubyfoo

78 words and nice to see you all. Happy Sunday!

4:37 am

rubyfoo

Yes, my husband thought it was dead but ehen I picked it upp and stroked it, it felt warm and wiggly

4:37 am

flosey

good for you ruby, we lost a dear little humming bird a few days ago, he got into the house and must have stunned himself trying to get out - hubby tried to revive him but no luck

4:38 am

westford

nice to see you too..take care

4:38 am

zoozzoom

You too, Ruby.Have a wonderful day!

4:38 am

Aww sorry to hearthat, Flosey, never seen a humming bird except on TV :-(

4:39 am

flosey

we've had that happen a few times over the years

4:39 am

rubyfoo

The biggest one I rescued was a hawk that flew into the house but I've rescued woodpeckers and many small birds, fiches and such

4:39 am

westford

now a hawk would scare me

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Yes me too, Westford. I can sit for hours watching them fight over it to have a bath!

4:39 am

rubyfoo

husband feeds them sunflower seeds and we have lots of fruit and a fishpond, so it's a perfect habitat and it's like dog TV for the pups

4:39 am

flosey

we have quite a few here, have a feeder front and back of house - as well as seed feeders for others - and peanuts for the stellars Jays

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Hawk gosh would probably peck my eye out for a tasty morsel!

4:40 am

westford

I remember you had a heron visit your pond for free lunch

4:40 am

rubyfoo

I was able to handle the hawk from behind and she calmed right down and I was able to carry her out and she flew straight up. Really thrilling.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

The only one that pecked me was the woodpecker, but no big deal

4:41 am

westford

I'm sure she was very grateful

4:41 am

westford

the hawk, not the woodpecker

4:41 am

rubyfoo

He still comes regularly but there are so many fish that \I do't mind sharing

4:41 am

flosey

yes, my you have a great memory, westie, we had lots of interesting ducks, etc - but no more, pond has too much growth in it - the ponds are used for watering the gardens

4:41 am

zoozzoom

OK lift is here. Nice chatting to you ladies.Have a wonderful day all of you.Hope to speak with you again soon.

4:41 am

4:45 am

We are still stuck with Netflix "lite" north of the border and need programs like Tor Browser to obtain temporary U.S I.P addys to use things liuke Hulu

The whole series is on Hulu Plus...now at least I can have a good laugh whenever I need one!

No, I meant you have a lot of subject matter to cover.

MimiCat

Well, thanks...and you? Last day of vacation for me. Didn't even get half the things on my project list done...oh, well...

7:53 am

7:53 am

MimiCat

OK---appreciate that, Molly. You are so right about that.

7:54 am

MLFAN17

annie np i have 46 words right now and no nbt or nbs

7:57 am

MimiCat

Going to "battle" a bit today. I got ripped off last night. Ordered a cheeseburger from a place that delivers, didn't pay close attention to the total and realized after guy left they had charged me $14!!! The burger listed on the menu at $7.99 (which is still way too expensive but I had a craving). Then...on top of that, they left off the toppings that were supposed to be there. Calling manager today and if that doesn't work, telling bank not to pay it. They do NOT know who they're dealing with!

7:58 am

MimiCat

There's a delivery charge but that wouldn't nearly double the price.

7:58 am

MimiCat

And...he didn't give me the itemized receipt...just one with the total.

7:58 am

MollyL

There are delivery places around here that not only charge a delivery fee, but automatically add gratuity.

7:59 am

MimiCat

I tipped the guy a dollar as well. They don't know it yet, but that burger was free!

8:00 am

MLFAN17

2nd column E?

8:00 am

MimiCat

Considering the economy and the abundant competition, you'd think they'd want to try to make their customers happy rather than make them mad. Businesses like this don't stay in business long here.

8:00 am

MollyL

The receipt should have been itemized. Give 'em hell Mimi

8:02 am

MimiCat

At this point in my life I've decided I've reached my crap quota and am not taking any more. Should make up a t-shirt with the word CRAP and the red circle with line through it on top!

I just started reading the latest in the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series..#21. These books are the most fun I've ever had reading...have read them all. There's a new one every year.

8:22 am

MimiCat

Speaking of fun reading, does anyone know whatever became of Dave Barry?

8:23 am

sukee

I loved those books Mimi

8:23 am

MLF...putting something into a cipher...

8:23 am

sukee

I think the latest I have is 18

8:24 am

MimiCat

Sukee, I "hear myself" in Stephanie's dialog...sounds just like me! The early ones are better, though. My fav was #8...the consummation with Ranger. Also loved the one with the monkeys.

8:25 am

sukee

For something really casual I loved all the Cat Who books

8:26 am

sukee

Or Hamish McBeth

They really miscast Ranger in the movie based on the first two...REALLY miscast.

8:27 am

sukee

Thankfully, I never saw any movie

8:28 am

MimiCat

You can get all of them on the alibris site for 99 cents each plus shipping. Order as many as possible from the same vendor on that site and there's only one shipping charge.

8:28 am

Wolvie

i figured when i saw the previews- never went to see them

8:28 am

Wolvie

cool mimi :-) ty

8:28 am

MimiCat

The movie is on Netflix. It wasn't that bad, really, just miscast. Sherri Shepard is too short to play Lula. I picture someone more like NeNe Leakes.

8:29 am

One day I was talking to a former boss complaining about the heat and he said "the heat doesn't bother me" to which I replied "well, you're not a middle-aged hot-flashing woman" to which my daughter replied "middle-aged...you planning to be 112?"

8:46 am

Wolvie

bada bing :D

8:46 am

MimiCat

She thought she had me on that one, but I got her back. I told her "Yes, just for that remark I AM planning to be 112 and I hope I live long enough to become a burden to you."

8:46 am

MLFAN17

mimi yes you are planning that just to annoy them lol

8:47 am

I was a very doting and a bit overprotective as a mother but I did my time. Looking for a place in the mountains about an hour's drive from here. I'd be close enough to visit but not close enough to babysit.

8:53 am

MimiCat

The grandsons are only 3 and nearly 1.5 and are cute but have way too much energy. I want to be with them when they get into 3rd grade and up...then I can really corrupt their brains.

9:17 am

sigh, have to keep retraining the Word dictionary. does anybody know if there is a feature in Word seven to change the dictionary it uses?

Should be in TOOLS then LANGUAGE SETTINGS

9:25 am

Buggie

Wow, people still use word 7? it must be nearly 20 years old by now

9:25 am

crosshair

I do indeed. I like the interface

9:26 am

MollyL

I would be, had I not been forced to change. I'm still learning to drive Word in Windows 8.

9:26 am

crosshair

I tried Windows 8 once. hated it

9:27 am

MollyL

Because, of course, Microsoft has to change everything around with each new version.

9:27 am

Buggie

That must be the very first verson of Word with a proper graphical interface

9:27 am

crosshair

8 is more for tablets than anything.

9:27 am

crosshair

do not know, buggie, but it works very well and do not bury you under tons of junk you do not need.

9:28 am

crosshair

does

9:28 am

MollyL

Windows 8 has Word 2013 and it's a brave new world.

9:28 am

Buggie

oh I love Windows 8. Sure the mobile apps interface can cause some confusion at first, but you just have to do what you would with any version of windows. Install the proper software and ignore the apps

9:28 am

crosshair

I would still be on XP if they had not mothballed it

9:29 am

Buggie

you do realise that you don't have to use word 2013 ? I have clients using Word 2000 on Windows 8..

9:29 am

rururocks

I hate Windows 7 and wouldn't do 8

9:29 am

MollyL

Once you learn how to set Windows 8 up to work like previous versions of Windows, it's not too bad. Buggie is right, you just bypass all the application crap that is tablet like. And seriously, who uses touch screen? I don't want fingerprints all over my writing screen.

9:29 am

crosshair

still an xp holdout eh ruru?

9:30 am

crosshair

do not want a OS that i have to change to make it like a previous OS to be palatable. whats the point?

9:30 am

MollyL

Yeah, Buggie, I know that. But I figured if I was going to learn something new, I might as well jump in the deep end of the pool.

9:31 am

crosshair

I just wipe the drive, get out my trusty copy of Win 7 pro and do a fresh install.

9:31 am

Buggie

One thing that came with Windows 7 and really helps out in Windows 8 is pinning your programmes to the task bar. I don't miss the start menu because I don't have any need for it really. I barely use the home screen at all. All my software is straight on the bottom of the screen.

9:31 am

MollyL

You don't change the operating system. You just work from the desktop, like in other versions of Windows.

9:31 am

rururocks

I wish I could go back to XP honest crossie

9:32 am

crosshair

too many exploits in it now ruru:(((

9:32 am

Buggie

Molly, well that's also a good idea. The new office interface isn't going away any time soon

9:32 am

rururocks

I was comfortable with that program

9:32 am

rururocks

what do you mean exploits?

9:33 am

crosshair

since it is not longer supported, the hackers are having a field day with it.

9:33 am

MollyL

I'd be too much of a relic in the business world if I was still running Word 2000.

9:33 am

rururocks

oh.. sure.. I hear that

9:33 am

crosshair

banks are scrambling because many bank machines still use xp

9:33 am

helensgirlkid

Relics can be very valuable!

9:33 am

Corssy hugs his Word 7:)

9:33 am

rururocks

I don't like word in 7 either molly

9:33 am

crossy*

9:34 am

crosshair

If it is not broken, do not fix it:)

9:34 am

Buggie

Ah, found it. Word 7 is from 1995 (also named Word 95). Wow, I'm surprised it works on anything more recent than XP, crossy

9:35 am

crosshair

I am running it on Windows 7 Pro buggie

9:35 am

rururocks

I figure by the time I get used to 7 they'll make it non-functional too

9:36 am

rururocks

<---will never understand Windows 15 by the time I'm freakin' really old

9:36 am

crosshair

lol, ru

9:36 am

Buggie

Windows 9 is coming out next year

9:37 am

crosshair

I make it a habit to run the leanest software I can find that still get the job done. has less impact on my old computers resources

9:37 am

MollyL

Ru, by the time Windows 15 comes out, we will be back to playing with Etch-A-Sketch in the nursing home.

9:37 am

Buggie

start menu will be back and mobile apps should either integrate properly or you will be able to choose between mobile and pc setups

9:38 am

crosshair

so they learned from their mistakes, buggie:)

9:38 am

rururocks

Hopefully I'll just be sitting in a chair and drooling by then molly :D

9:38 am

hego

Hiya!

9:38 am

Buggie

Actually I use Word 2010 and it has several really good functions that save me heaps of time at work that 2007 didn't have...

9:40 am

rururocks

morning hego

9:40 am

MollyL

If you are using Word for business, the newer versions are the way to go. If you are just using it for personal use, any version you are comfortable with will do.

9:40 am

crosshair

I am sure it does, but at least Word 7 made me put my typewriter away... for now

9:40 am

hego

morning Ru

9:41 am

Buggie

Well okay, Word 7 would have tons of handy functions your typewriter doesn't. ^^

9:42 am

crosshair

though typing a novel on a typewriter by candle light in a power outage lends its own charm to the creative process.

9:43 am

MollyL

We got a typewritten resume at work once. Someone put it on the bulletin board and people were staring at it all day.

9:43 am

crosshair

Tolkien did all his work in longhand with a fountain pen, so I count myself fortunate

9:43 am

crosshair

we had a student in my class who took all her work home and did it on her trusty typewriter

9:44 am

crosshair

Funny, it looks.. richer, somehow

9:44 am

crosshair

A quality is there that is lacking on a computer printed page

9:44 am

MollyL

After writing on a typewriter for years, the first time I wrote a page on a word processor and then printed out a page, I felt like I was witnessing magic.

9:45 am

rururocks

I held onto my typewriter for years

9:45 am

crosshair

Still have mine:)

9:45 am

MollyL

I still have mine, I will never get rid of it. I wish I still had my Dad's.

9:46 am

crosshair

I re-inked my old ribbon for years. was a tedious process

9:46 am

MollyL

That is the problem Dose, the ribbons are very hard to find.

9:46 am

crosshair

I ran the entire ribbon manually through two sponges with ink infused into them

9:47 am

sounds messy

9:47 am

... where did you get the ink? ... did you use two stamp pads?

9:47 am

I remember the typewriter from when I was little, but as a teen I used to use my mum's word processor (one with an actual monitor)

9:48 am

crosshair

then i found those foam brushes used to apply wood stain and they were notr so bad

9:48 am

Ink can still be had fairly easily. my better half is into calligraphy

Hi Judy!

Wow. So, that's a tenrec. Looks like a mole/skunk/hedgehog mash up that got dipped in sulphur.

9:57 am

hego

good description.

9:58 am

Judi

I didn't even know it was an animal until I saw that picture.

9:59 am

hego

who'd a thunk it?

9:59 am

helensgirlkid

It is really deceptive of the dictionary to just say that it's a hedgehog!

10:00 am

Judi

Really? It looks more like a shrew.

10:00 am

I never saw that color yellow fur before.

Just the airbase and chain restaurants.

The amount of road construction we ran into was crazy. what would have been a quick drive ended up in a LONG frustrating one

I can imagine it's a nightmare on a good day but all the construction just doesn't help the situation. I can say for certain that I will not be complaining about the road work around here :-)

ormal i had the same thing happen to me yesterday

11:03 am

Ormal

Does your randomly autocorrect your words in here Crossy?

11:03 am

crosshair

it does, I have to watch it.

11:04 am

crosshair

I am sure there is a setting for that buried deep in the options

11:04 am

MLFAN17

cross can you put your book on that?

11:04 am

crosshair

i use mine more for reading and catching up on news than playing babble these days

11:05 am

Ormal

Deep, deep then, because I didn't find it yet. :)

11:05 am

crosshair

I can, MLF. since it takes epub files, i camn put my book on any device that accomodates it

11:05 am

Ormal

MLF, don't you hate it when that happens...silly words not entering.

11:05 am

MLFAN17

isnt the qu word also storing something somewhere?

11:06 am

MLFAN17

cross when its completed or as you are working on it?

11:06 am

crosshair

but, for now, the public will not see any portion of my book except for what i have posted in Authonomy

11:06 am

phaeton

lu7?

11:06 am

crosshair

It is secure there till the rest of it is done

11:06 am

MLFAN17

ormal and its usually somethign you put in repeatedly while trying to finish the grid and then by then end...IT WORKS

11:07 am

MLFAN17

cross that is cool

11:07 am

crosshair

My edited verson of part one is almost ready, MLF:)

11:07 am

The best thing, MLF, is that the entire thing is fully developed in my head. I had not a single instance of writers block with this novel;)

11:09 am

I think my target date for completion at years end is still applicable

11:10 am

Are you editing it as you go along cross?

11:10 am

se7/40?

11:10 am

MLFAN17

cross even the most famous authors have had their share of writers block at times.. congrats for not being one of them:)

11:10 am

Ormal

In a row, or in time order...

11:11 am

crosshair

I have made that mistake, yes, ormal, but after this portion hits authonomy.com tomorrow, I shall get back to getting it all down on paper first

11:11 am

Phae, that was the se clue

11:11 am

MLFAN17

ty ormal

11:11 am

i am getting more of the 7s then i am most words in this grid today

but one cons at the end

11:12 am

Yw, I am still 51 words away from completion today, but it is early yet.,

11:13 am

MLFAN17

you are ahead of me ormal

11:13 am

crosshair

rule #1- get it all down on paper first even with its scars and warts. get it on paper. editing should always come later.

11:14 am

phaeton

got it...ty ormal.

11:14 am

Ormal

I was a little surprised you were editing before finishing, but figured to each his own. ;)

11:14 am

MLFAN17

cross whenever i have an idea i can never find something to write on lol

11:16 am

MLFAN17

ormal i think if you can it is easier to edit as you go along because that way it gets done. If you wait its like going back to square one

11:17 am

MLFAN17

are the s words on the first column common at all?

11:17 am

crosshair

it was not planned, ormal, but I wanted a usable excerpt for Authonomy

11:17 am

crosshair

always keep a pencil and a notepad by your bed, MLF

11:19 am

crosshair

no matter. After today, I shall be back at it.

11:19 am

MLFAN17

i want to write stuff without others i live with being nosy hence the reason for not doing that. However we should because we have a phone next to the bed

11:20 am

NOBODY looks at my writing till I am ready. Touch my idea notebook and you may lose a finger:)

11:21 am

lol cross i have however written small "diary" entries in a book of soem poetry that i have without the other person knowing as he has been asleep during those times

11:21 am

Ormal

I had started writing a few months ago, had a great start...my kids accidentally deleted it off the computer. MLF, I also find it easier to edit as I go along, but most people don't, and it goes against normal teaching.

11:21 am

MLFAN17

phae i only have un 6/21

11:22 am

phaeton

that's the one mlf...wrong count

11:22 am

MLFAN17

ormal how nice of them. i think aditign as you go along is so much better then later

11:22 am

crosshair

you will know when it is time for you to write, MLF. The perfect idea, or story will burn within you. You suddenly start waking up at 3 am and rush to your notes with great ideas for it. it will demand to be written and you will have no choice but to go along for the ride:)

11:23 am

crosshair

Like Mr King said when asked "Why do your write stories like that?" he answered "What makes you think I have a choice?"

11:23 am

11:33 am

Ormal

Mlf, I'm so much less upset about the kids deleting my novel start than I was when they accidentally deleted the last 3 years of family pictures I hadn't backed up anywhere else. Those are now just gone.

11:34 am

MLFAN17

ormal YIKES! Not even as photos by themselves anywhere?

11:34 am

most big companies have a macro list of pre-programed trouble-shooting questions that they drone out, regardless of what your issue is.

11:34 am

Cross, you do your book any way you want to. It's your piece, and whatever writing/editing style you use needs to suit you.

11:35 am

Nope, Mlf, just gone.

Yup. It will get to where it needs to go, ormal> I have faith.:)

11:47 am

Ormal

I can hope Jaxx!

11:48 am

MLFAN17

does anyone have the first two ge 5/14 words?

11:49 am

jaxx7

This is how they catch paedophiles. I also used to regularly lose stuff at the school where i worked and someone from th ICT department would come and get it back for me.

11:49 am

Ormal

I'm really hoping he just moved them into another photo file & I simply haven't been able to find them yet. I'm working on backing them all up to my external hard drive now.

11:50 am

11:55 am

Ormal

My youngest is ALWAYS messing up our computers. He got the ICE virus on my husband's computer, and I worked for 3 days trying to get it off, working from the BIOS even. I had to get a techie friend to come fix it.

11:55 am

jaxx7

No. Mark, the tech, just struggled until it came back. Ashley is not allowed near this computer now.

11:56 am

He is 9 but he won't make 10 if he isn't careful.

11:58 am

11:58 am

Mlf, do you still have high school aged children? A lot of hs kids are taking computer repair classes now, and will do the work for cheap.

11:58 am

How about a local college?

12:02 pm

12:03 pm

MLFAN17

i wanted an ipad once but i wouldnt know what to do with it. Not all apps are free and downloading takes a lot of memory and space. If i cant use it for facebook..no thanks

12:04 pm

Ormal

My brother usually walks me through my issues, but I didn't have the remote software on my husband's computer and the ICE virus boots and overrides everything.

12:04 pm

jaxx7

I have a brother like that. I used to send him snippets that had amused me but he always disects them and tells arrogantly that that doesn't work. I don't bother now.

12:04 pm

MLFAN17

my bro siad to jsut reinstall stuff .what a pain in the you know what

12:05 pm

Reinstalling works if you buy the backup disk...

Bye TO, hagd

1:40 pm

rururocks

Hurshy does not babble any longer

1:42 pm

hego

because of the previous problem?

1:42 pm

rururocks

Yes

1:42 pm

hego

too bad.

1:42 pm

rururocks

I agree

1:43 pm

hego

she was a great player.

1:43 pm

rururocks

She was funny

1:44 pm

hego

yes

1:45 pm

jesdraggon

Is that a tenrec, hego?

1:45 pm

hego

give that girl a prize!!

1:45 pm

jesdraggon

what problem caused us to lose hurshy?

1:46 pm

hego

someone made her feel uncomfortable.

1:46 pm

jesdraggon

ah. that sucks

1:46 pm

aebmusica

en+girl's name-2nd vowel and gerund ending = en7

1:46 pm

hego

You are the first to recognize the tenrec, Jes.

1:47 pm

jesdraggon

was i? hah. kind of funny - i don't think i'd heard of them before I started babble, but they're fascinating critters

1:47 pm

hego

I must learn more about them.

1:50 pm

rururocks

Maybe a weee bit more than uncomfortable

1:50 pm

hego

agreed

1:51 pm

hego

creeped out?

1:51 pm

jesdraggon

dare i ask who, ruru?

1:52 pm

rururocks

Not in the chat

1:53 pm

rururocks

Pe00ple are watching

1:53 pm

hego

:)

1:54 pm

jesdraggon

ah, sorry

1:54 pm

jesdraggon

pretty creepy eyes there, ruru :)

1:54 pm

hego

it's a clue

1:54 pm

jesdraggon

yah, i thought it was :D

1:54 pm

rururocks

Totally

1:55 pm

jesdraggon

and i find the eyes creepy too... but am stubborn enough to ignore creepy and enjoy the game and other company anyway.

1:56 pm

hego

me too jes. good philosophy.

1:57 pm

MollyL

Well, you might feel differently if someone was making you feel stalked.

1:57 pm

hego

maybe

1:58 pm

jesdraggon

I might, depending on how stalkery they were. up to a pretty serious point though, i'd be inclined to continue on with my normal so as not to give them the win.

1:58 pm

MollyL

Also, I wish people understood that photographs you post on Facebook are not private no matter what your settings are.

1:59 pm

jesdraggon

as i said, i'm stubborn. and until i feel physically threatened (which takes a lot) i won't back down from someone's assholery.

1:59 pm

hego

We should always keep that in mind Molly.

2:00 pm

jesdraggon

nothing on the internet is private...

2:00 pm

hego

assholery should be ignored at all costs.

2:00 pm

MollyL

Neither is anything you write for that matter. It can all be copied and emailed to people.

2:01 pm

MimiCat

Molly..wanted to tell you..I got a total refund on that food from yesterday!

2:01 pm

rururocks

Assholery...love that comment

2:01 pm

hego

me too

2:02 pm

MollyL

Good for you Mimi, and good for the restaurant.

2:02 pm

jesdraggon

sadly, i've gotten rather good at dealing with generalized assholery.... there's a lot of it out there, and I seem to pick jobs that attract it.

2:03 pm

MollyL

I wonder if you could add that to your resume, under EXPERIENCE. "Expertise in dealing with assholery"

2:04 pm

hego

anyone who deals with the public everyday is an expert.

2:04 pm

jesdraggon

hehe. yup. right next to "rode an alpaca", and "bottle raised a bat" :D

2:05 pm

MimiCat

I didn't want to get nasty (though I was prepared to do so), but I was adamant I wanted a full refund. The mgr. offered to make me another order but I declined in favor of the refund. I had already called my bank and they were going to dispute the charge formally if it was not refunded. It wasn't all that much money but it was the principle.

2:06 pm

hego

qu7??

2:06 pm

MimiCat

Just wanted to fill you in. Mimi is nobody's fool, 'ya know! Later.

2:08 pm

jesdraggon

it's true, hego - all public service jobs get crazies. animal control/enforcement and medical seem to attract a really high volume of both guilt trips and threats though.

2:09 pm

MollyL

Everyone is happy and they will keep your business because of that. Good form.

2:09 pm

hego

I waitressed in my youth, oh brother.

2:09 pm

Ormal

Hego q7- lining up

2:10 pm

hego

ty! never see that one!

2:10 pm

MollyL

Some people adopt a "you are the hired help" demeanor and the way they treat others is deplorable.

2:10 pm

Ormal

Yw ;)

2:11 pm

MollyL

Ormal, get in li4 for the PB. Lots of people going in there today for cluing the qu7

2:11 pm

rururocks

I loved waitresses in my youth

2:11 pm

hego

2:12 pm

jesdraggon

why the past tense, ruru?

2:12 pm

rururocks

I specialized in side work

2:13 pm

hego

His youth is over. :)

2:13 pm

hego

side work?

2:13 pm

rururocks

I have applied for sainthood and have to be celibate

2:14 pm

hego

whether you like it or not. lol

2:14 pm

jesdraggon

no, i meant the past tense on love - why would you stop loving them just because you got older?

2:15 pm

jesdraggon

you picked the wrong church, mate

2:15 pm

rururocks

Apparently :D

2:15 pm

hego

:)

2:20 pm

MollyL

The difficulty of this game is in the fact that words are often stacked up (or down, or sideways) in ways that are hard to see. I don't think DUH applies in most cases.
