12:15 am
rururocks
jeez.. the grid roster took a puny pill
12:16 am

there should be a code tweak to regenerate a new grid until there's at least 150 or so...

my energy levels are way up. and i am so motivated. starting to feel like my old self.
4:41 am
grannyrose
i go back to physio tomorrow... all my weekly chores are done...have caught up on the laundry, dirty and clean. my tulips are flowering. life is good, mate
4:42 am
crosshair
I know what it is like to be buried alive in the fine print of something so important. For the professionals involved on both sides, it is just another day in the life of another day at the office. Yhey little realize that hour life, contentment and overall health and happiness hinge on the outcome of topics they toss around like it is a tennis ball at the country club:)
4:43 am
crosshair
I am glad you are feeling better as well:)
4:44 am

darn. hopy you can read crossy:)
4:44 am

*giggle* and the social security people say i have to attend a health assessment to see if i am fit for work...lolol

i can read crossy...very well. xoxox
4:45 am

Biring your doctor papers, thump them down in front of them and show them your inherited as a result of unsafe working conditions:)
4:45 am
crosshair
I better get some tea going brb
4:53 am
crosshair
You would think that the social security would have been far beyond the point for a assessment by now? your doctors report and the application he filled in not enough for them?
4:54 am
crosshair
They love to bury people in repetitive paperwork, little caring the duress it puts people under.
4:57 am
crosshair
I was once told in confidence by someone working at the disability office that they automatically veto all initial applications just to weed out the posers and the phonies. In their minds someone who is pretending or exaggerating will not go through the bother of wading though unending mounds of paperwork
4:57 am
grannyrose
*giggle* crossy, yeah i know. but as don says, they have policies and procedures to follow, and follow they must. it will probably be a short interview of oh yes, no, there's no way you can work...lol
4:58 am
crosshair
In my wife's case we actually had a case worker say" You know there are blind typists out there right now holding down good jobs" !!!
4:58 am
grannyrose
for goodness sake, the initial paperwork needed a bachelor degree to complete. lol.
4:58 am
crosshair
I am glad you are nearing the end of it all rose
4:59 am
grannyrose
excuse me?? you have got to be joking!!
4:59 am

I am not. it is the honest truth!

5:04 am

3 weeks. You can be sure that the powers that be are going to make those the longest three week possible;)
5:06 am
grannyrose
it's so amusing. the conciliation people are frantic for me to release medical info to them. and my lawyer is right there, saying, when i have the reports you will have them.i feel so protected.
5:07 am
grannyrose
my lawyer is handling it all. he is my hero!!
5:08 am
crosshair
I am glad you have a lawyer that is on top of things:)
5:09 am

A partner who stands by you in tough times is a thing of beauty. My beloved was a rock during my "Cancer decade" :)

5:15 am

once conciliation is done and dusted, don and i are going to start planning our excursions to europe and the americas. it's all very exciting.

5:18 am

5:19 am

I let it go, it was too long to repeat. i was just ruminating over what a rock my beloved was when I was ill
5:21 am
grannyrose
as our beloved spouses do/are, mate.
5:22 am
crosshair
I love the way you still use the term "The Americas" Makes it all sound so wild and untamed and adventurous, kind of like the way we say "Oh, I am off for an excursion of the outback"
5:24 am
grannyrose
lol, crossy. please be assured canada is most definitely included.
5:24 am
crosshair
Just make sure you come through my neck of the woods. i will have a crossy breakfast waiting for you and Don

5:28 am
crosshair
A nice Crossy breakfast, then up to a town called Gravenhurst for a ride on North Americas oldest operational steamship the R.M.S Segwun. It does a two hour tour through the 30,000 islands part of Georgian bay, then back home for a bit of lunch and a quick nap, then off to Blue Mountain which i can see out my window here for a hike in the woods on the Bruce trail. Then after all that it is back to my place for some home made stew from the crock pot, slabs of crusy bread slathered in creamery butter. We can then relax ofver drinks while having a killer game of scrabbe:)

ummmm, crossy , you are taking the condition of my knee into your calculations, mate?
5:33 am

yes. If you can walk unaided or with just a cane through a store I think my trail choice will be fine
5:34 am

ah yes, R.M.S Segwun....

There was once a fleet of them, 20-30 i believe and they were employed by Canada post to deliver food and mail to the outlying islands.
5:35 am

She started out as a side-wheeler in the 1860,s and was converted to propeller in the 1880,s

I have a program called Tunnel Bear and I can watch video from anywhere. I also get access the the US Netflix.
5:59 am

was just wondering if I should buy it or continue using he free one.
6:00 am

I use it to watch the BBC
6:00 am

I have tried tunnel bear but you get a very limited ammount you can use/week with free version
6:00 am

True, I subscribed. I tried some free ones but I like this better.
6:01 am

If I was going to go after it in a big way, i would explore the Tor borowser. it enables me to obtaion a U.S I.P addy but it has its own drawbacks as well

6:03 am

LBD, I find that my viewing time is more than filled by what netflix has to offer in addition to crackle and the free content streamed by the discovery channel. I have no need of anything else. I just cannot squeeze in any more time to watch tv. We did look at 13 episodes of the new Cosmos show and were quite impressed!
6:04 am

We average at most 6 hours of tv a week;)

First 6 months is tough, sukee, but once you realize you can have a rich and full life without T.V being the nucleus of that life it gets better. You actually enjoy the programs you do watch even more and are more selective about what you view
6:06 am

ahh ok, sorry, lbd. I use a triad of security for my computer; Microsoft security essentials,Malwarebytes and ccleaner

I do not worry about secondary firewall programs like Zonealarm as the Microsoft firewall seems to be fine. I try to keep my security simple and easy to use but effective.
6:47 am
crosshair
Malwarebytes is my heavy hitter,security essentials is my pitcher and ccleaners is my clean-up batter:)
6:55 am

hello, babblers

I would think the grid-generating code would disallow a grid with only 4 vowels
9:06 am
MollyL
It would be nice if there was a "throw back rule", like in fishing.
9:17 am
Mary
Hi all, done, now what do I do for the rest of the day

Does anyone know how to contact the site owner? I *finally* after years of playing, have upgraded to pro. My payment went through, but I got a msg that there's a problem, but there is no way to reach "Dr_God". Thanks!
12:31 pm
uusue2
You can email him at dr.god@playbabble.com - I've always found him to respond very quickly
12:31 pm
Rearden
Ah, thank you!!!!
12:36 pm
MollyL
Probably the same email address where you sent your payment.

Way to go, Ruby!
1:32 pm
penquis
congrats!
1:32 pm
phandmd
off to start a project to make my cat happy. Hope it works
1:33 pm
phandmd
Did you find your word, Pen?
1:33 pm
penquis
no....it's a 5 letter s word...
1:33 pm
bichon
44 words. A shorty
1:34 pm
penquis
too short....
1:36 pm
phandmd
what was your last word?
1:36 pm
phandmd
mine was SC5
1:40 pm
penquis
mine was sc 5, too....
1:41 pm
phandmd
I thought that might have been the case. Well, see you later.
2:07 pm
MollyL
Teeny, shorty, small...all adjectives men cringe over
: D
2:09 pm
penquis
heh heh....talk about cringe....did you notice the johny guy last night....a little creepy...
2:11 pm
MollyL
There are a number of odd posters about lately. I have a feeling that the old "infiltrate Babble posse" is at work again. Sad.
2:12 pm
penquis
yes, sad...
2:20 pm
crosshair
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE:)
2:22 pm
penquis
hi crossy...
2:25 pm
crosshair
sorry caps.. then i msp froze on me
2:26 pm
crosshair
my isp*
2:30 pm
crosshair
I t is a funny thing when you get long time babblers "infiltrating" under another personae. The real identity usually shines through with the style of their writing.
2:30 pm
crosshair
it is well that only a few bother doing so.
2:33 pm
MollyL
Long time Babble players infiltrating under another name was not my meaning. I was referring to a group who played here under various names a while back, in the Nancy Boy days.
2:33 pm
crosshair
ahh ok. Got you.
2:34 pm
crosshair
Days best buried deep and covered in lime.
2:37 pm
penquis
well this guy was creepy....wanted to know my real name...
2:37 pm
MollyL
But yes...real identities shine through in the other case
2:37 pm
penquis
claimed to be from Pakistan....
2:45 pm
gremlinn
"johny
ok but you gotta keep in touch with me please... thanks man goodbye"
2:46 pm
gremlinn
You gotta keep in touch with him, see?
2:48 pm
penquis
yeah right....not!
2:51 pm
Judi
Hiyas, kiddos!

So I finished the grid earlier, but forgot to change my icon. Now I have the new icon up. Oh well :-)
3:09 pm

your new pic is nice...
3:09 pm

hi judi...
3:20 pm

Equinox in 6 hours, 9 minutes? Cool.
3:20 pm

Good riddance, summer!
3:34 pm
robwhy
clue for ar 5/14?
3:34 pm
MimiCat
Really...really...44 words?
3:34 pm
MimiCat
I'll really be glad for summer to leave...it's still 100 degrees here in Phoenix.
3:44 pm
robwhy
does the ar5/14 contain both the w and the z?
3:54 pm
MollyL
No, there would be a lot more points in an ar5 word containing both a w and a z.
3:55 pm
MollyL
5 letter words are total points times 2
4:11 pm
lorena_k
the ar 5/14 is adding three letters that amounts to swearing? :)
4:11 pm
lorena_k
not really but how I think of it
4:23 pm
rururocks
damn it
4:27 pm

Dorens
i don't see how a witness can't be un sw5
6:39 pm
zoozzoom
Well you would need two Ns for that to work in the grid, Dorens.
6:39 pm
MollyL
Nothing gets by our Zoom : D
6:40 pm
zoozzoom
Apart from the time stamp..LOL
6:40 pm
