VolleymomDee
lol, join the club, dc
1:46 am
flosey

yes, same root, but well, French, which spelling system makes as much sense as Ennglish's.

I can't imagine how you all do the grids so late :)

stupid word sh 8
1:55 am
VolleymomDee
and sh 9
1:57 am
dcseain
those are weird
1:58 am
flosey
is it a continuation of another word?
1:58 am
flosey
ah,. just got the 9
1:59 am
flosey
and now the 8
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
continuation of sh 5/12 man's blouse
1:59 am
Lizlin
thanks, Dee
2:00 am
flosey
and yet, they don't accept sh4/5 with same ending!!
2:00 am
Lizlin
I think you'd double the t, Flosey
2:00 am
VolleymomDee
no rhyme nor reason to what they accept
2:01 am
Lizlin
Actually most consonants
2:01 am
flosey
ah yes, probably would
2:01 am
dcseain
sh4 requires a double T. the men's blouse does not due to the digraph at the end of the words.

4:09 am

dianne, yucky to have a cold... at any time of year. i had my flu vax today.
4:10 am
grannyrose
thus far, i have not had a cold since starting my flu vax many years ago.
4:11 am
sprite
I had mine last autumn and it got me through this winter ok. Some minor things but no fullblown flu.
4:11 am
Dianne
Good that you got the shot. I had the shot some months ago but not for the newest strain. I will get that as soon as it is available here.
4:12 am
grannyrose
many years ago i had beijing flu. ended up in hospital, i was so sick. ever since, i have to have the vax.
4:13 am
sprite
I am in the high risk groups, so I get mine as well, don't even have to pay for it myself.
4:13 am
grannyrose
now, of course, i am that much older and have a history of cardiac issues so i qualify on that basis .
4:13 am
dizgrannie
me hubby and a couple of our g/kids are going for the flu vac tomorrow
4:14 am
sprite
ah, smart move, dizgrannie
4:14 am
dizgrannie
apparently it is now free for the young ones here in Oz
4:14 am
grannyrose
good for you diz. too many people think they don't need the vax.
4:14 am
grannyrose
yes, diz, it is.
4:17 am
dizgrannie
hopefully our nearly 10 yr old can get it, she has had whooping cough like symtoms on and off for the past 3 yrs - been tested and also allergy tested - all come back clear - they just give her ventolin when things get bad - to me - an asthma sufferer - it is not asthma
4:17 am
grannyrose
oh, sprite. the manary's overnight cover was off again this morning. we think the little wretch has learned to peck at it until it falls off.
4:18 am
dizgrannie
she has also had another dose of all her vaccinationsnto update her immunisations
4:18 am
sprite
that smart little bird is priceless :D
4:18 am
grannyrose
eek, diz. i so hope the doc sees the way clear to vax her. too important.
4:20 am
grannyrose
yay diz. you don't subscribe to the trend that vax's are not needed?? lolol...just yanking your lariat.
4:20 am
dizgrannie
thankfully this kiddo likes needles and blood tests - the thing she doesn't like is the regular nose swabs for whooping cough
4:21 am
grannyrose
i don't blame her one iota, diz. they are disgusting.
4:21 am
dizgrannie
Rose - it is (cuse the language) firkin stupid in this day and age NOT to get your vaccinated
4:22 am
grannyrose
i know diz. i heartily support the governments new action on parents who refuse to vax their kids.
4:24 am
grannyrose
sprite?? are you having fun yet?
4:24 am
Lizlin
Me too. Stupid people don't deserve support.
4:25 am

Half lurking. Half watching Game of Thrones. Some comments :)
4:26 am
grannyrose
i loved it. i think i listed at 70 to go or there about.
4:26 am
dizgrannie
another thing is that this kiddo eats the healthiest out of her and her 2 siblings, she will eat fruit till it comes outa her ears - not too keen on take away - yet she is frequently crook - go figure
4:26 am
grannyrose
but it take me close to 3 hours.
4:27 am
Dianne
Rose - can you clue the en8? Please....
4:27 am
grannyrose
diz?? how is her immune system?? could it need bolstering with regular echinacea?
4:28 am
grannyrose
dianne...en8. en + naughty word for breasts + l***, fibs
4:30 am
Dianne
I thought I tried that ages ago. Thanks.
4:31 am
grannyrose
*giggle* you probably did, dianne. sometimes the word isn't accepted the first time.
4:33 am
Dianne
Dee called that shortly after the flip ao I think I tried it not too long after that. Been at it on and off for hours and still need 69 words.
4:35 am

4:35 am

Loll. Important to always do that. Even permissible to lie for that :)
5:18 am

wow, interesting. But not every level of lies, I hope?
5:19 am
Lizlin
Not sure about that.

"No honey, I didn't go to that orgy at the neighbours."
(yeah I know that was a lie, but hey, everything for the shalom bayit)
5:20 am

5:37 am

One good thing about a larger grid is all my favorite girls are still here:))

5:39 am
crosshair
3 hours??!
5:40 am

5:40 am
crosshair

Perhaps when out TV dies ...
5:41 am

I stream netflix and other web sites directly to my tv through my wireless router
5:42 am

I remember a quarttro formaggio

bad spelling on that
6:24 am

All on very thin crust
6:24 am

6:25 am

When done right, Focaccia is better than pizza
6:25 am

6:26 am
crosshair
secrret is fresh herbs and spices, the right olive oil and a super-hot oven
6:26 am
grannyrose
mouth watering, here
6:26 am
crosshair
not to mention the prep-time for your seasoned olive oil
6:27 am
grannyrose
oh, yeah. the seasoned olive oil...
6:27 am
crosshair
The olive oil you brush on, must have the peppers in them and left to season fro at least a day or 2
6:28 am
crosshair
Just enough to make your tongue tingle when you eat it
6:28 am
crosshair
then hand -crush the fresh basil and oregano, add some sea salt, and just a touch of fresh ground black pepper
6:29 am
grannyrose
i want a cr5y pizza.....after the cr5y breakfast...
6:29 am
crosshair
but mostly the hot peppers carry it
6:29 am
crosshair
then you zap it in the oven till the olivoil makes the crust bubble up all golden brown
6:30 am

No microwaves in that kitchen as I recall. all oven work

I will put a word in with St Jude and see if he can help. Have you tried acupuncture? I find that can work small miracles
6:41 am

Calling insurance this morning to see if they will cover it.
6:42 am
crosshair
if standard medicine leaves you in pain that long, then it is time to consider alternatives like acupuncture. I hope it gives you relief, car
6:43 am
car.eeyore
Ty. Something has to at this point.
6:43 am
jaxx7
They should do. They do in britain. Some surgeries have a practioner attached to them. Our local hospital has a physiotherapist trained in acupuncture so you get a combination treatment.
6:44 am
crosshair
they combine like that to get around the homopathic designation i think
6:44 am
grannyrose
okay...it appears i am not making much sense. car.eeyore i will pray for you. cr5y my xoxox to you and elegant. jaxx also my xoxox.

Uneaixoise

1:43 pm
hego
And going to Napa too!
1:44 pm

Une, Tony Shaloub was incredibly good, and funny. But Diane Lane! (we were in the second row, she looks absolutely gorgeous! better in person than on screen)
1:44 pm
Uneaixoise

1:44 pm

Dorens
She really is, Une.
Did I tell you we saw Helen Mirren in The Audience?
1:47 pm
Uneaixoise
nooooo --- how exciting!!
1:47 pm
Dorens
This has been a very good year for Doren and Broadway.
1:47 pm
Uneaixoise
indeed!!!
1:48 pm
Dorens
She was just thrilling, but the best play by far was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night.
1:48 pm
hego

1:48 pm
Uneaixoise
would love to see Wolf Hall
1:48 pm
hego
watching it on tv
1:49 pm
Dorens
Also Skylight with Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan.
am trying to talk my friend into Wolf Hall. Have a friend who saw parts one AND two on Saturday. That might be a bit much for me.
Hego, the review said the show is much less dark than the PBS version; I'd be happy to see both and do my own compare and contrast!
1:50 pm
Uneaixoise
ooohhh have seen interviews with Nighy re Skylight --- love him
1:50 pm
hego
Did you read the book?
1:51 pm
Dorens
No I didn't read the book, but heard such good things about it.
yes, Une, and he enjoyed himself in the show just as much as he implies in the interviews (did you see the Charlie Rose interview? loved that!)
1:51 pm
hego
Bill nighy is in everything lately.
1:51 pm
Dorens
Une we really have to get you back up here to New York and meet Hego in the city and see a play or two!!! You can stay at my house, even cheaper than the convent.
1:53 pm
Dorens
Hego, he really is delightful. In fact, my friend was jealous that I took Rachel to see it, so he's thinking of getting tickets (Skylight) and I'm begging him to take me Not a lot of shows you could sit through twice, but that one would be great to see again.
1:58 pm

I love the new keyboards that don't have spaces around the keys.
2:45 pm

hi all, help with er8 pls
2:49 pm
rururocks
I threw my new keyboard out the window..
2:49 pm
java2

2:49 pm
Anniebrook
peri, er8 is hard to clue, ends with the belief ending ( 3 letters)
2:49 pm
Anniebrook
why, ru?
2:49 pm
periwinkle
ty Annie, found it on morewords
2:50 pm
rururocks
the keys were set for ergonomics (sp?) and they didn't line up like i'm used to from years of typing.. and I kept making mistakes
2:50 pm
MollyL
Oh, I would throw an ergonomic keyboard out the window too
2:50 pm
Anniebrook
well, that's a good reason
2:51 pm
java2
I've had an ergonomic keyboard for years and love it.
2:51 pm
java2
Doesn't help with typos - those are all me, though
2:51 pm
rururocks
I wonder if ergonomic people lean slightly left
2:52 pm
flosey
I turned my computer off when I went out - now, bringing up Babble, I'm missing all words beyond se6/18!! while it still says I'm only missing 36 words and they're all T words!!
2:53 pm
MollyL
If you are used to typing on the regular keyboard with the letters set up that way, the ergonomic keyboards are a learning curve most people don't want to take. I guess they work for two finger typists
2:53 pm
rururocks
exactly
2:54 pm
rururocks
I got so pissed at it.. I chewed out my IT guy for buying it
2:55 pm
periwinkle
re8/45 pls
2:55 pm
rururocks
he walked kinda funny when I shoved it somewhere
2:57 pm
rururocks
he kinda leans to the left slightly
2:57 pm
Aloyisius
no spaces between letters? dpes that mean they are spill-proof?
2:57 pm
Aloyisius
I'll buy that!
2:57 pm
java2
The first time I sat down in front of an ergonomic keyboard, my fingers fell on the home keys with no difficulty. I always had trouble typing using all fingers. This keyboard allows me to use all fingers with ease.
2:57 pm
hego
and crumb proof
2:58 pm
flosey
well, I refuse to find all those words again, I'm out of here - perhaps for good
2:59 pm
MollyL
Oh, you can still ruin a keyboard by spilling on it. Best to keep drinks (and food) away from the computer.
2:59 pm
ChrissieDee
Have you refreshed flosey?
3:00 pm
MollyL
Flosey, you need to refresh every time you leave Babble. It's some new quirk (among many) If you don't refresh when you leave, you will lose words from your word list
3:00 pm
flosey
yes, have tried everything, tks for response Chrissie
3:01 pm
flosey
have refreshed a few times
3:01 pm
periwinkle
so you need to refresh before or your leave or when you return. I have not had any problems
3:01 pm
MollyL
If you didn
3:01 pm
flosey
first time this has happened to me
3:01 pm
MollyL
not refresh before you left, the words are gone
3:01 pm
ChrissieDee
It's the only thing I know to try :)
3:02 pm
flosey
ok, I'm finished!!
3:02 pm
MollyL
I copy my word list every time I leave too. I've lost words too many times.
3:02 pm
Aloyisius
am so sorry, flosey.. :-(
3:03 pm
Kamanjah
I've never had a problem using Firefox. Are you folks using IE or Chrome? If so, try pulling it up in Firefox and see if that brings your words back. Good luck!
3:05 pm
MollyL
Do people still use Internet Exploder?
3:07 pm
Kamanjah
I have one friend who swears it's the only browser to use. I use it on occasion if something won't work in Firefox....but if you're losing words in Firefox, let me know so I can copy too, I've been lucky enough to not lose words...so far...
3:07 pm

Microsoft is retiring IE.

3:17 pm

Any time you log into Babble from ANY computer, if you have been working a grid, your word list should be there and be complete.
