12:46 am

flosey

Hi everyone - wow, are most babblers finished?

12:46 am

grannyrose

hi flosey

12:46 am

flosey

just home from bridge

12:47 am

saanichcat

hi flosey! How was the game?

12:48 am

rururocks

everyone is done flosey.

12:48 am

rururocks

there are just 76 lurkers waiting to see if you need help

12:48 am

saanichcat

I started late, not me yet

12:48 am

flosey

lots of strange hands, my partner and I came in 4th

12:49 am

flosey

hubby and his p came first

12:49 am

saanichcat

Good evening everyone!

12:49 am

saanichcat

It's always fun though right?

12:50 am

flosey

yes, we've been playing bridge for over 50 years

12:50 am

saanichcat

WOW!

12:53 am

rururocks

wow..

12:53 am

rururocks

did you play with tree bark back then flosey?

12:54 am

rururocks

*ducks*

12:54 am

flosey

lol, but really, a dear old friend was in a concentration camp during WW2 and they made their own cards out of tiny scraps of paper

12:56 am

mkg

how did they get scraps of paper in a concentration camp in WW2? was it in europe?

12:57 am

flosey

I don't know where they were, mkg

12:57 am

rururocks

if it was in Japan it was rice paper

12:58 am

mkg

must have been either under the japanese or in the u.s.

12:58 am

mkg

the u.s. put japanese into camps. but they were fed.

12:58 am

mkg

it was horrible, but at least they werent killed off.

12:58 am

rururocks

wow.. if we started putting Canadians in Concentration Camps mkg..we'd never hear the end of it

12:58 am

flosey

would have been under japanese I expect

12:59 am

flosey

this friend wasn't Canadian

12:59 am

mkg

i think the govt. finally gave money to the japanese who were detained in camps.

12:59 am

flosey

perhaps Dutch

12:59 am

mkg

under japanese they were fed i think.

1:00 am

mkg

not saying the food was more than enough to barely survive, but i think i need to read about these camps. they were prisoner of war camps right?

1:00 am

mkg

dutch? then could have been under the nazis.

1:00 am

flosey

yes

1:01 am

mkg

i assume they arent jewish right? many dutch helped jews and the dutch hated the nazis. so even if they didnt save others, they didnt co-operate. would be interesting to find out.

1:02 am

rururocks

I would think the Dutch would have clogged the system in Germany

1:02 am

rururocks

(waits for the groans)

1:02 am

flosey

naaaa, no groans

1:03 am

mkg

i went to amsterdam in 1969 and my friend spoke german. we got a cab and he tried to ask the cabbie questions. they man didnt answer. then he turned to me and in english said "i guess he doesnt understand german". the cabbie said "are you americans?" we said yes. he said "ok we like americans. but we hate germans so never speak german in holland." what a lesson that was for us. we spoke english from then on.

1:03 am

flosey

could be an awful headache though!

1:03 am

mkg

if only the dutch could have clogged the system there.........

1:03 am

mkg

no groans.

1:03 am

mkg

what do you mean by clogged the system? maybe i dont get it.

1:04 am

rururocks

their wooden shoes.. it was a lame joke

1:04 am

flosey

I think ru was referring to the wooden shoes worn in Holland

1:04 am

rururocks

but it's late here..

1:05 am

rururocks

Granny is rolling on the floor laughing I bet

1:05 am

mkg

ok got it. clogged as it clogs.........now i am groaning.

1:05 am

flosey

late and I have a nasty headache but determined to beat this grid tonight

1:06 am

rururocks

YAY! a groan

1:06 am

mkg

off to sleep.

1:06 am

rururocks

nasty headache ? sorry flosey

1:07 am

flosey

thanks ru, good night's sleep should cure it

1:07 am

saanichcat

hope it goes away flosey

1:07 am

saanichcat

hello ru

1:07 am

flosey

thanks Saan

1:08 am

saanichcat

your icon is funny flosey!

1:08 am

flosey

thanks

1:09 am

flosey

you don't want to hear me sing though

1:09 am

rururocks

hiya saanich

1:09 am

rururocks

you certainly don't want to hear me sing

1:09 am

saanichcat

is that Dylan in your icon?

1:09 am

flosey

maybe we'd make an interesting duet, ru

1:10 am

rururocks

yep.. that's Mr. D

1:10 am

rururocks

oh lol flosey.. we'd have to move the glassware out of your house

1:10 am

saanichcat

beautiful dog, how is he feeling?

1:11 am

rururocks

he's better.. but far from 100%.. he's on three antibiotics right now

1:11 am

saanichcat

oh do you sing soprano ru?

1:11 am

rururocks

oh.. I have wider range than that.. but I can't hold a key

1:11 am

flosey

ok, so we won't threaten the folks when you come up

1:11 am

rururocks

good idea flosey

1:12 am

flosey

ch

1:12 am

rururocks

I can tell jokes though

1:12 am

flosey

oops

1:12 am

saanichcat

you can always sound like foghorns...

1:12 am

flosey

I'd sound more like a squeeky wheel

1:12 am

rururocks

My best friend has a really nice singing voice.. I'm so envious

1:13 am

saanichcat

I'll do the bagpipe drone, just to please ru here, he loves it

1:13 am

flosey

sorry, squeak

1:13 am

rururocks

ugh

1:13 am

rururocks

the worst instrument ever created

1:14 am

rururocks

too bad Abba didn't play bagpipes it might have helped them

1:14 am

flosey

ah, I love to hear them in a parade

1:14 am

saanichcat

is there any truth that the scots sent the pipers to lead the army to scare the enemy away?

1:14 am

rururocks

they sound like geese being run over by trucks

1:15 am

saanichcat

I love the old pipes. A lot.

1:15 am

flosey

come on, ru, how often have you heard that!!

1:16 am

rururocks

everytime there's a Memorial day they play those stupid things .. wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

1:16 am

rururocks

or certain funerals for police and firemen

1:16 am

saanichcat

a lone piper is amazing to hear

1:17 am

rururocks

yes.. at a far, far, far distance

1:17 am

flosey

ah yes, I was not prepared - someone from his gang played bagpipes at the end of funeral, at the gravesite

1:18 am

flosey

my father's

1:18 am

rururocks

they're not for me

1:19 am

saanichcat

I think we got that

1:19 am

rururocks

1:19 am

rururocks

1:20 am

saanichcat

rururocks

1:23 am

1:30 am

flosey

flosey

tks rose

1:35 am

grannyrose

lolol....flosey...you jerking my lariat, hin?

1:35 am

flosey

1:35 am

grannyrose

WTG FLOSEY!!!

1:36 am

flosey

wow, it's a fish?

1:37 am

flosey

that te5?

1:37 am

grannyrose

yes, flosey.

1:37 am

flosey

have not heard of it, perhaps not known in Canadian waters?

1:38 am

flosey

or, maybe not one that would be eaten?

1:38 am

grannyrose

i read about in a lot of novels set in europe. and it is supposed to be a nive eating fish.

1:38 am

grannyrose

ugh...nice

1:39 am

flosey

I am quite accustomed to reading correctly through misspelling

1:40 am

grannyrose

not intentional, not watching the keyboard properly....

1:40 am

flosey

and typos

1:41 am

flosey

well, chatting with you, Saan and ru while doing this grid has been fun, almost lost my headache

1:42 am

grannyrose

nice, flosey. it must have been stress-related then.

1:42 am

flosey

guess so, rose, but time for bed now, see you tomorrow

1:43 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams dear

1:43 am

flosey

have a good day, rose

1:43 am

grannyrose

thanx flosey

1:43 am

flosey

ty, will try

3:06 am

sprite

good morning all

3:09 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling friend. how was your night, dearest?

3:10 am

sprite

hi rose *hugs* It was ok. Bit short and troubled, but could be worse. And you? Just read your email about the hips and all. You didn't send a reply to my last email, did you?

3:10 am

grannyrose

you should be so proud of me.... i actually made it to one to go before i listed for help. i was so chuffed. yeah, i know, it's an itty-bitty grid, but sometimes these ones are the hardest.

3:11 am

sprite

hey, that is amazing! And yes, sometimes the smallest grids are the evilest. Good job!

3:11 am

grannyrose

yup, just did

3:13 am

sprite

ah, there it is, lol. Was afraid I somehow missed it.

3:13 am

grannyrose

actually i sent a response on the 29th, and another tonight.

3:14 am

grannyrose

actually another 2 tonight

3:14 am

sprite

yes I replied to the 29th one. Will reply to this last one right after babble :)

3:16 am

grannyrose

i sent the hip email, hoping to let you both understand why i may have to postpone my visits.

3:16 am

sprite

hmz... ok... I received one about your hips, and one about the boyo.

3:17 am

sprite

sweetie, I totally understand about postponing. I think we simply should. Forget about this year, go get that body in shape, then plan for next year knowing you can enjoy it so much more. Both of you.

3:17 am

grannyrose

s'okay. so long as we are still connected. it's no biggie.

3:19 am

sprite

we don't want any email to be lost in cyberspace. But I think all is here. Two emails I still have to reply to, right?

3:20 am

grannyrose

my GP was so sweet today. so understanding. at one point i said to her i have something else to discuss. ( that was about the endone versus pan forte) but i want to wait until i have your full attention. at that she turned completely away from her keyboard, looked me full in the face, and said...yes?

3:21 am

sprite

awwww that is so good.

3:21 am

grannyrose

yes my darling, but only if you think you need/want to do so.

3:22 am

sprite

of course I do, rose :) I always feel that way. Wish we could do this sitting next to eachother on the couch. But email will keep us connected until then :)

3:22 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite, i am so longing for that moment. we can hug, weep, whatever, just us.

3:23 am

sprite

exactly. But sweetie, it will keep for another year. Focus on getting as good as you can be first. Don too. It will be so much better that way.

3:24 am

grannyrose

did you see puglet here over the christmas break? i didn't.

3:24 am

sprite

me neither

3:25 am

grannyrose

hmmm...methinks an email is in order. what do you think? when she does this, it usually means things have not gone as she wished.

3:25 am

sprite

I hope she is simply too busy with her visitor to spend time emailing.

3:27 am

grannyrose

ditto, dear.

3:29 am

grannyrose

and now for something different...

3:30 am

sprite

completely different?

3:30 am

grannyrose

it would appear some Thai woman has clawed her way into my younger bro's life. he has taken to 'popping' over there whenever he can.

3:31 am

sprite

Thai women are people too... could be a good thing.

3:31 am

grannyrose

i am afraid she is one of the women whom we see, entrap an aussie male, in order to obtain a ticket to ozland.

3:32 am

sprite

I hope that won't be the case

3:32 am

grannyrose

if she does come here, unfortunately, she will be under the microscope. not just me and my family, but immigration.

3:33 am

sprite

if she is on the up and up, that won't be a problem. And if she isn't, it will be a good thing.

3:33 am

grannyrose

my bro is getting over a separation from the mother of his son. his heart is wide open.

3:34 am

sprite

ouch, yes, that makes him vulnerable

3:34 am

grannyrose

plus, i seriously think my little bro is missing a few acres in his top paddock...like his uncle, my mother's bro.

3:35 am

sprite

all the lights on but nobody home?

3:36 am

grannyrose

my bro functions very well usually. but he has displayed a very simplistic attitude to some things which have left me wondering.

3:36 am

grannyrose

he is very gifted in the IT industry..and that makes it difficult to make an informed opinion.

3:37 am

sprite

well, at least he has your support in case things go wrong

3:37 am

grannyrose

don's eldest, his son with aspberger's? he is very gifted with computers too.

3:38 am

grannyrose

xoxox, sprite...yes he does.

3:39 am

grannyrose

it seems if the 'social' aspects are missing, the intelllectual aspects surface. like in " rain man ".

3:39 am

sprite

*hugs*

3:40 am

grannyrose

'sigh' thanx my darling

3:40 am

sprite

yeah the way I understand it, social interaction is often too much for people with asperger's. Too much input blocks output. And they are often so damn smart.

3:41 am

grannyrose

so....how is hubby? is he feeling any better?

3:42 am

sprite

he is, a little. still a very sore throat and no energy. But no fever and definitely a little bit more lively.

3:43 am

grannyrose

good...and you, darling...can you cope with another day with no back-up?

3:44 am

sprite

tbh... I am beyond feeling what I can and cannot cope with. Just pushing through. I hope Rob can cook tonight. That would be so awesome.

3:45 am

grannyrose

awwww, my dear. again i wish i lived next door.

3:46 am

grannyrose

oops...dinner nearly ready. couple of minutes to go....from the cook...lol

3:46 am

sprite

so do I!!! And not just for now :D

3:46 am

sprite

fireflies. Nice little grid. Not too evil.

3:46 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:47 am

sprite

you go and enjoy your dinner :) I think I'll go answer my emails and then lie down for a bit again. *hugs* my dear friend.

3:47 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and {{kisses}} my darling.

3:49 am

grannyrose

and i am outta here. xoxox to all who follow. lovely little grid for once.

Well!. That was a lovely morning! had to spend 3 hours removing viruses form my computer:( Finally tracked it down to a real sneaky browser-specific virus cluster and had to toss Google Chrome in its entirety to get rid of the blasted thing!

7:47 am

matty, make the ch7 a pl

7:47 am

I am on IE for now till I can shake the last of the digital infection out of things:(

good for you crossy, at least you know how to fix things like that

7:48 am

Lordy, I'm an idiot sometimes

Now to see if I have this repaired...do not wish to be stuck with IE any longer than I have to be.

7:59 am

rubyfoo

I think we have Canadian weather -- it's getting very cold but at least the sun is shining and we have plenty of wood for this unheated house

8:00 am

crosshair

Not quite, ruby, lol. it is minus 10c and we got a foot of snow last night:))

8:00 am

crosshair

Our skiers are happy:)

8:00 am

rubyfoo

I guess not. LOL

8:01 am

crosshair

Still much warmer that it should be at this time of year.

8:01 am

rubyfoo

We have a little bit of snow on the ground, two days of 4+ inches, but not such a big deal.

8:01 am

crosshair

Going into January we used to have our minus 20's but not any longer:(

8:01 am

rubyfoo

I shouldn't complain; it's certainly better than Binghamton,NY

8:02 am

crosshair

Though we got our downtown ice sculptures finished:)

8:03 am

rubyfoo

The weather has changed a lot since we moved here 15 yrs. ago. Much less snow and warmer winters

8:03 am

crosshair

Artists who have that skill carve all kinds of things out of blocks of ice and we place them on each corner of the main downtown road for winter decoration

8:03 am

rubyfoo

Are the sculptures illuminated?

8:04 am

crosshair

some are, yes

8:04 am

crosshair

they are very beautiful

8:04 am

I've only seen those in movies (Groundhog Day) and in photos on the Internet

One is a lighthouse, another is Santa's sleigh and another is of a timber wolf-- my favorite:)

TY! Down to two - te4/6 and te5/14

8:17 am

crosshair

it is interesting--for those who care or wish to take note: The new breed of computer virus does not embed itself in you program files per se, but instead hides itself in the setting of the browser you were using at the time of infection. this made it invisible to ad-ware and virus removal programs. Even if you went into Regedit you would not have seen it. All you would of seen would be your browser installation package;) very insidious it was:( Ill be quiet now, but forewarned is forearmed:)

8:17 am

mattygroves

Got the 4 now, just the 5 left

8:17 am

wtg matty

8:19 am

crosshair

yes, Phae, so always check the bowser you used at the time of the infection. You will save the agony I went through this morning

8:20 am

phaeton

I had to take it in...not savvy enough to self fix.

8:20 am

crosshair

Should have heard me cursing at this bucket of bolts this morning:)

8:20 am

the infection was so bad that babble was unplayable!

Good day to all.

8:21 am

Howdy, scrabby!

What I hate, is not knowing where I picked it up so I don't go back there

8:21 am

phaeton

Hi Scrabs

8:21 am

crosshair

well, I knew, and I should have known better:(

8:22 am

Scrabbler

I see your advice, Crossy. So what is the defense? And the fix?

8:23 am

zoozzoom

And how did you get it in the first place?

8:23 am

crosshair

The defence is not to use a torrent site like I did, and the fix is to uninstall the browser you were using at the time, run Malwarebytes and ccleaner, then re-install your browser

8:23 am

phaeton

'waiting on pins and needles for the guru to speak'

8:24 am

crosshair

lol, no guru; i do 100 things wrong to find that fix

8:24 am

Scrabbler

I don't think I use torrent sites.

8:24 am

phaeton

'torrent site'?

8:25 am

crosshair

You ar better off not knowing, phae, you can google a bit of info on them, but it is basically site where you get free software--illegally

8:25 am

Scrabbler

I never do that.

8:25 am

crosshair

Now I remember why I stopped using them 10 years ago lol

8:25 am

phaeton

ahh...not my thing. :-)...I try not to download anything except updates.

8:27 am

zoozzoom

What about your browser bookmarks & add-ons if you delete your old browser you will lose them all?

8:28 am

Scrabbler

At least it was quick even though it was intense. It made me think about people that are chronically ill, e.g. undergoing cancer chemo.

8:28 am

car.eeyore

You are incredible.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Nope. We all get sick. But the chronically ill--everyday is a challenge.

8:34 am

car.eeyore

phantom: penchant

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, I see it.

8:35 am

crosshair

I clear all add-ons and bookmarks, and re-install them a fterwards

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Now, can you fix my dripping bathroom faucet, Crossy?

8:36 am

crosshair

i could, if I was tere:)

8:36 am

crosshair

there

8:38 am

Scrabbler

I think I can do it but I am scared. Turn off water, take handle off, pull cartridge out, bring to hardware store for replacement, replace, recap, turn water on....my fear is turning water off or on will be a problem as I must turn off at entry to home and is it too rusty?

8:41 am

zoozzoom

Most taps/faucets here have a small like screw on the pipework you can turn off individual pipes for easy replacements of washers etc.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Not this sink--no water valve underneath, so I must go to the source.

8:44 am

crosshair

spray water shut off valve with WD-40 first to lubricate it if it has not been used in a while

8:45 am

crosshair

and when you remove the tap, there will be a worn out rubber washer, that is what you need to change. You can get a pack of them at your plumbing store for 5 dollars or so

8:46 am

crosshair

The washer is held fast with a single screw on the base of the tab

8:46 am

crosshair

tap

8:46 am

crosshair

bring entire tap assembly into the shop so you get the correct washers

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Good advice with WD-40. I have watched several videos so I feel like I am ready to do it.

8:48 am

crosshair

let the WD-40 work on the shut-off valve for a few minutes first. They can be a pain if they have not been used in many years

8:48 am

crosshair

and just in case, identify the shut off valve to the main outside your home

8:48 am

zoozzoom

WD-40 is excellent stuff. I use GT-85 which is just as good.

8:48 am

crosshair

if you can find it

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Hm, outside the house....

8:49 am

crosshair

if it is a bathroom sink, there is usually a feed valve for it in with the hot water heater as well

8:49 am

crosshair

since most bathroom sinkes are plumbed from there

8:50 am

crosshair

it is a pain they did not install a sink shut-off under the sink itself:(

8:50 am

Scrabbler

It would be easier if I had a turn-off valve under this sink but I don't.

8:50 am

crosshair

snap

4:10 pm

lynxxx

I really wanted to do an Honor Blackman clue but figured the US wouldn't know it - or be too young!

4:10 pm

Soodle

As usual, behind the times, but I can highly recommend a TV series called Broadchurch, if you guys in the States can get it.

4:13 pm

lynxxx

They made Gracepoint - the US version of Broadchurch - apparently didn't go down well. Saw Braodchurch months ago - that was terrific!

4:13 pm

Babs1

my screen when playing babble started appearing weird a few days back.. restarted computer, but same thing. using Google chrome....anyone else have an issue withe tile stats being irregularly laid out?

4:14 pm

lynxxx

Not me Babs - but I use Chrome all the time anyway

4:16 pm

Babs1

chog only shows about 10 entries too...wonder what could be wrong?

4:16 pm

MollyL

I liked Gracepoint. I'm not a big fan of BBC shows.

4:21 pm

darkside

Broad church wasn't BBC

4:21 pm

lynxxx

Yay! there is a second series of Braodchurch coming soon.

4:31 pm

suefrad625

that is it for me. FW

4:35 pm

Soodle

You are right, darkside. It was an ITV production. Apologies. My recommendation to watch it still stands.

4:35 pm

Soodle

And well done Sue! Yay!

4:36 pm

MollyL

No apologies needed from you Soodle. I was the one being taken issue with. I mentioned BBC. Should have said I am not a fan of British television shows.
