grannyrose

or rather was he thinking at all?

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I refuse t be blackmailed into never going out

3:37 am

rubyfoo

not thinking or had a very active (and hateful) subconscious

3:38 am

grannyrose

ah well, if he wants sandwiches for dinner...let him have sandwiches. but that spoils it for you, because it is also your dinner which has not been cooked.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

It's very unpleasant and scary at the same time. It is hard to feel sorry for him consistently

3:39 am

rubyfoo

oh, and I had to hear that when I'm gone, Rufie is heartbroken. Please!!!@

3:39 am

grannyrose

it's hard work, dear. and you still aren't sure if it is deliberate or a genuine mistake.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

Even if it's a mistake, he doesn't have to blame me

3:41 am

grannyrose

well he's mr perfect, didn't you know that? he wouldn't make the mistake. so it has to be you. i wonder if there is a touch of narcissism.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I have to go and get dressed. XX, my friend, ty for listening to my rant

3:41 am

After I work the morning session I am going kayaking!

5:47 am

crosshair

yaaaa!

5:47 am

Wolvie

nice :-)

5:48 am

crosshair

get it in now, scrabby. before you know it we shall have to polish up the snowshoes!

5:48 am

Scrabbler

I have worked way too much in the last 2 weeks and I am burned out.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Crossy, we have our first snowfall in the first week of November typically, but we have several summery days to enjoy now.

5:50 am

crosshair

This is my favorite time. Already the sugar maples are turning and the forest on the mountain are exploding in a riot of colours:)

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the leaves are changing colors here and should be at peak in 1-2 wks.

5:51 am

Wolvie

cooler here but no color changes yet- a few tomatoes still ripening

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I have some green tomatoes too--my first and only of the season. It was dismal for tomatoes this summer. Too wet. I need to plant in containers next year.

5:52 am

crosshair

we have had one frost already and the last of the apples are coming out of the orchards in the next two weeks. I am looking forward to all that fresh cider:)

5:52 am

Wolvie

yum!

5:53 am

Scrabbler

No frost here yet, but usually the first week in October.

5:53 am

Wolvie

ugh- all these a s are driving me crazy lol

5:54 am

crosshair

We are in a apple belt here and have many varieties. My favorite is a type called Goldencrisp. They are the size of both my fists held together, and a single apple can make an entire pie:)

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Wow. I never heard of that type.

5:55 am

crosshair

yup:)

5:55 am

Wolvie

we had a similar sized one in Massa - wolf something- cant quite recall- i have never seen it elsewhere

5:55 am

crosshair

A hybrid of course, but still tasty.

5:58 am

crosshair

sweet enough that all they need along with them in a pie is a TBS of brown sugar and some allspice or cinnamon

6:03 am

Wolvie

off to brekkie- bb later - hagd all

6:03 am

crosshair

tc wolvie

6:05 am

Scrabbler

And I must grab some yogurt.

6:06 am

crosshair

You would be proud of me scrabby. i am eating more yogurt and oatmeal and much less bacon;)

6:07 am

crosshair

bacon is too bloody expensive at the moment!

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Good for you. I have been eating cottage cheese recently, and mix in fruit and nuts.

6:13 am

crosshair

I mix in granola clusters

6:14 am

crosshair

Doing this with French vanilla is my favorite.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Raspberry Greek yogurt is my addiction.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Now I must get ready for work and pack clothes, food, and gear for my afternoon of kayaking. I want to leave the office at 12!

Une, I bet your dogs never have computer mice up their butts : D

7:40 am

Hi Une :) crossy left a while ago so no offence taken

7:41 am

No offense Une. Cat people know cats are bizarre and hilarious that's what makes them so lovable. And, of course, cat people are bizarre and hilarious as well. :)

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

it's like the goofball cocker I had many yrs ago -- whenever he farted, she ran out of the room LOL

7:44 am

7:45 am

I have a dog like that. He is terrified of the vacuum cleaner.

josephjames

i don't understand something

7:59 am

josephjames

caries are cavities and when that is here it accepts it. but it doesn't accept cary or carie or carey so what on earth is the singular supposed to be?

8:02 am

grant

diabetes is singular

8:05 am

Judi

Salutations, global inhabitants!

8:06 am

josephjames

so if i have one cavity, it's caries?

8:06 am

MollyL

Caries is both singular and plural, according to a medical dictionary

8:06 am

grant

I believe so

8:06 am

josephjames

oh

8:07 am

grant

rabies also singular

8:08 am

josephjames

yes but cavities are such specifically identifiable things, it is weirder. you would not think of having "a rabie" or "a diabete", you either have the thing or you don't

8:09 am

Judi

Scabies, rabies, babies... oh, wait.

8:09 am

grant

lol

8:10 am

Gremlinn, are you here early or late. I thought you mostly came around at the flip.

8:41 pm

gremlinn

Sometimes lately I am here often throughout the day.

8:42 pm

gremlinn

I never chat until I finish the grid though.

8:43 pm

crosshair

That is my downfall. i get rolling in the chog and the grids slows as a result:/

8:44 pm

gremlinn

You get chogbogged!

8:44 pm

wht

Yes, but you feed us such wonderful tidbits.

8:44 pm

cogbogged! I love it!

chogbogged*

8:45 pm

Yes, I am sorry the tidbits have not be so forthcoming of late, but my classes have been keeping me occupied.

8:46 pm

LeslieAnn

what classes are you taking? (hello btw)

8:46 pm

wht

What are you taking this term, crossy?

8:46 pm

crosshair

I am taking ENG4U )a university writers craft class, then I shal be taking ENG4U afterwards

8:47 pm

crosshair

EWC4U*

8:47 pm

crosshair

then the other

8:47 pm

LeslieAnn

fiction?

8:47 pm

crosshair

I have already finished the college ENG3C and 4C

8:47 pm

wht

Surely you must come across some interesting tidbits in that class.

8:48 pm

Bugsaw

durras

8:48 pm

crosshair

Yes, This EWC4U is crative writing, not so structured as the rest

8:48 pm

crosshair

I do indeed, wht

8:48 pm

crosshair

creative

8:49 pm

gremlinn

Creative writing is a lot harder than destructive writing.

8:49 pm

wht

Bugs, I think crossy left some kind of bacon treat for you in the PB

8:49 pm

LeslieAnn

interesting. i've never tried fiction, i imagine it to be difficult. mostly where to start.

8:49 pm

crosshair

right now I am doing "found poetry" and short story analysis and writing my own sort story in a weeks time.

8:50 pm

crosshair

Starting is easy, you just hold your arm over the page, open up a vein, and bleed:)

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

oh nuts. Thanks wht. i did not even notice. I came back from being distracted with something else and lost where I was.... mea culpa

8:50 pm

crosshair

Stole that line:)

8:50 pm

LeslieAnn

now i know that's not an original work!

8:51 pm

crosshair

snap

8:51 pm

LeslieAnn

truman capote, maybe?

8:51 pm

crosshair

Writers are all theives, we just learn to hide it.:)

8:51 pm

crosshair

Hemingway

8:52 pm

LeslieAnn

ah

8:52 pm

crosshair

I figure he is in no shape to sure me for not referencing that at this time:)

8:52 pm

crosshair

to sue*

8:53 pm

gremlinn

I've been writing a story for 14 years - it's up to about 1.6 million words probably. Sometimes I wonder how difficult it would be to learn to actually write well and make a significant rehaul of it before publishing.

8:53 pm

LeslieAnn

indeed

8:53 pm

wht

There once was a Babbler named Crossy
Who was afraid his mind was getting mossy.
Being no fool
He went back to school
To make his stories more glossy

8:53 pm

crosshair

Though thanks to him, I did two marvelous papers so far:)

8:53 pm

gremlinn

Well, that's not 14 years straight... I've had a few stretches of 1+ years without working on it. :)

8:54 pm

crosshair

you wrote a phone book:)

8:54 pm

LeslieAnn

nicely down wht

8:54 pm

gremlinn

Nah, it's fiction. Fantasy + sci-fi stuff.

8:54 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah that's like a whole series grem!

8:54 pm

LeslieAnn

chop it up and sell the rights to hbo!

8:54 pm

crosshair

Problem is, gremlinn, it will be so expensive to print and put out there that no one will touch it unless the fist 350 pages or so are a hit.

8:55 pm

gremlinn

I can't because it's not actually in book format, it's interactive fiction packaged in a huge text-based game.

8:55 pm

crosshair

How many chunks can you make of it?

8:55 pm

crosshair

wow

8:55 pm

crosshair

so, like the old M.U.D games

8:55 pm

gremlinn

It can't be divided, unfortunately....

8:55 pm

gremlinn

Yeah, somewhat. Just wordier.

8:56 pm

crosshair

I recall those fondly, but the sad truth is sometimes you cannot go back.

8:56 pm

It has had signficant feature creep. I originally thought it would be about 2% as large as it *already* is.

It is like listening to the old radio show. They were brilliant, they were funny, but somewhere along the way we lost our ear for it.

8:57 pm

crosshair

Is it anywhere near a solid alpha attempt?

8:57 pm

gremlinn

Ah, well, there are still podcasts.

8:58 pm

gremlinn

There's a demo that's free to play online, but it's not all that much of it. Still, many hours of play probably.

Plan on using that as a ultra effective type of writing in my analysis.

9:11 pm

crosshair

9:12 pm

crosshair

he did a lot of that; you think you knew where the story was going when all of a sudden it would veer of course and sail gleefully of some dramatic, climatic cliff.

But I won't let them try to type the names of God. It is too dangerous.

We shall be saddened when we finally find god because, in the end--god is us.

What is this enable and babble expert I keep hearing of, (is it just other names for lickety) any links please?

Jackanory

Hi lexi it combines the grid and the babble clues on one page and enables you to send the words straight to the clue list as you type them. Very useful. Try googling babble expert. I would add a link but last time I did I mucked up the chat log sizing and got in trouble!

ENABLE is an acronym for Enhanced North American Benchmark LExicon and is the basis (or close to it) for the list of words used here
