Hi and hugs, Sprite
3:25 am
Lizlin
I so want anomaly to be spelt anomoly
3:25 am
sprite
hi Liz :) *hugs* to you both. How are you doing?
3:25 am
sprite
would have been a good one, yes
3:25 am
Lizlin
Fine thanks - and you?
3:26 am
Lizlin
And I keep trying lobster
3:27 am
sprite
I am fine, thanks :) Did I tell you that all my blood tests came out perfectly? Even the liver values are back to normal.
3:27 am
Lizlin
That's really good news :)
3:27 am
sprite
lobstre :D
3:28 am
sprite
and the internist wants me to immediately lower the dosage of my diabetes and blood pressure medication as soon as the operation is done.
3:28 am
Lizlin
Dyslexic lobstre?
3:29 am
Lizlin
Wow! Less medication must be good.
3:30 am
sprite
less medication is always good. Makes me very happy. They will keep me under close observation for some weeks, to see if it works out as he thinks. I am confident it will.
3:31 am
Lizlin
And a positive mindset helps too.
3:31 am
sprite
in that case, we can throw out the whole bunch of pills :D
3:31 am
Lizlin
Go for it!
3:33 am
sprite
I will. On the road to better health!
3:34 am
Lizlin
Gonna be a totally new person - not in personality though.
3:35 am
sprite
no, not in personality. Just in health and energy levels. And probably more active too, when it becomes easier to be outdoors and moving.
3:36 am
Lizlin
Such a good target for you
3:36 am
sprite
will keep you up to speed :)
How are things at your side? Pool fence done?
3:37 am
Lizlin
Mostly - the professional stuff anyway. Just bits and pieces to finish off.
3:37 am
Lizlin
Will send you pics when it's all done.
3:37 am
sprite
ah wonderful. That has been a long haul.
3:38 am
Lizlin
Tell he about it!
3:38 am
sprite
*hugs Liz*
3:38 am
Lizlin
Next the inspector has to come and approve it - another stupid expense!
3:39 am
Lizlin
Thanks - hugs always appreciated.
3:40 am
sprite
ugh yeah. I really dislike that whole system. All that nonsense while you are building stuff on your own property.
3:41 am
Lizlin
Ours should comply because we consulted the inspector first but it's quite usual not to be accepted first time :(
3:42 am
sprite
same thing here. So very frustrating.
3:42 am
Lizlin
Definitely
3:52 am
Lizlin
Congrats Sprite
3:53 am
sprite
thank you. Anything I can help you with before I go?
3:54 am

No thanks. I'll get there. Just listed.

hi everyone :)
4:24 am
mrpresident
I watched the shark attack on Mick Manning and was completely taken back to the movie Jaws! It was so scary!
4:25 am
mrpresident
He is one very very lucky man
4:26 am
zoozzoom
Yes he was very lucky.And for it to be filmed at the time of the event.
4:27 am
mrpresident
yes, I watched it live and my heart nearly fell out of my mouth when he disappeared behind the wave
4:29 am
zoozzoom
I have only seen the video of it on the bbc website so i knew he was going to be okay.But yes if it was live and i saw it then.I would of been very worried for him like you say going behind the wave for a rather long time without being seen.I understand his parents have just watched it also!
4:29 am
mrpresident
apparently was a three metre great white... not an adult shark either
4:29 am
mrpresident
yes, I just watched an interview with his mum...
4:30 am
zoozzoom
when he got onto the rescue board and bowed his head...I could feel him say bloody hell that was close.
4:31 am
mrpresident
yes, he is most thankful to be alive and not hurt in any way
4:32 am
zoozzoom
I understand some parts of Autralia got rather a lot of snow on the ground yesterday or the day before? anywhere near you?
4:32 am
mrpresident
the guy that was surfing with him was in tears describing trying to get to him, and losing sight of him
4:33 am
zoozzoom
Wonder how many people got into the water after that..lol
4:33 am
mrpresident
oh no zoom, I am in sub tropic area on the coast... but the snow is only up the road... we have a mountain range close by that got the snow
4:33 am
rururocks
That us why i only surf the internet
4:34 am
zoozzoom
hehe me too, ruru!
4:35 am
mrpresident
hey ruuster!
4:36 am
mrpresident
no matter if you are on the ground or at sea, you will get killed by something here
4:36 am
rururocks
Hi.. i saw the video too. Horrifying
4:37 am
zoozzoom
Yes I suppose that could be true for anywhere.
4:37 am
mrpresident
they didn't go ahead with the final. divided the points and the prize money
4:38 am
zoozzoom
Wonder if he gets a bonus point for dodging the shark!
4:39 am
rururocks
I am glad he didn't get too chummy with the shark 😂
4:39 am
mrpresident
oooh an emoji! how you do that ruu
4:40 am
zoozzoom
I just copied and pasted it into the chat 😂
4:40 am

hmmm ...
4:41 am

I used to do loads like that a while back.But since I got this windows 8.1 for some reason it is hit and miss with them.
4:42 am
rururocks
Back to bed 4 me,
4:43 am
zoozzoom
Sweet sleeps, ruru. good to see you!
4:45 am
zoozzoom
Do you undrstand the copy & paste, Mrp?
4:46 am
mrpresident
no zoom, where to copy from?
4:49 am
zoozzoom
Where , ruru has done all those funny faces if you move your white arrow over the first one..then left click keeping it down move across to the right( there should now be a blue background across them) let go of the button now without moving the mouse right click and a dialouge should come up and click on copy. then just goto the chat log and then right click again and paste it ito there.Done.
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Sounds complicated when describing how to do it.But it is rather easy.And gets easier as you get used to doing it.
4:51 am
mrpresident
doesn't work for me
4:51 am
zoozzoom
Or goto google and enter how to copy & paste.It will describe it better there than I just did 😂
4:52 am
mrpresident
sure thanks :)
4:52 am
mrpresident
when I copy paste, it just comes up with ??
4:53 am
zoozzoom
Are you using windows or a mac?

5:00 am
zoozzoom
I am struggling with the S and the B underneath it.
5:02 am
mrpresident
thanks zoom
5:02 am
mrpresident
and still can't enter 'satan'
5:04 am
zoozzoom
No Enable does not like it along with ;Spam & Internet and many others..lol
5:05 am
mrpresident
enable doesn't have the word 'shit
5:05 am
mrpresident
but you can enter it in the grid
5:06 am
mrpresident
so go figure!? this isn't just an enable based game... dr. G must be able to add words
5:07 am
mrpresident
I know that lickety has had to add words that are not in enable that the game accepts
5:07 am
zoozzoom
Oh I did not kno that.I know when babble first started of Dr_God used the Official Scrabble Dictionary. But it was limited to how many letters could be entered so then went to Enable.
5:09 am
mrpresident
yes, it isn't just enable :)
5:11 am
zoozzoom
Here in the UK some of us say shite rather than shit but it is not accepted :-( if the film was rubbish we might say "That was a load of shite"
5:12 am
mrpresident
yes have heard that word used many times in UK films/TV
5:12 am
zoozzoom
Must be classed as a slang word.Oh well one more to the growing collection of non-words..lol
5:13 am
zoozzoom
Damn.Very sorry everyone.
5:14 am
mrpresident
thanks zoom!
5:15 am
mrpresident
i do need help with that S you were talking about
5:16 am
mrpresident
Satan must be a proper noun
5:16 am
zoozzoom
Did you know that when babble first started Dr_God was going to limit the amount of times you could guess a word on each tile to around 100 I think.
5:17 am
mrpresident
that would have sucked for me! and many others I think! LOL
5:17 am
zoozzoom
Not sure what would of happened if you went over that..Maybe game over.
5:17 am
mrpresident
I love my monkeys and on a grid that is 100 words, I easily try and enter 500
5:17 am
zoozzoom
LOL me too MrP!!
5:17 am
mrpresident
... ok, 1000
5:17 am
mrpresident
LOL !
5:18 am
mrpresident
I am a phantom finder... like toylobster is my phantom today
5:18 am
zoozzoom
I think a lot of us can see lobster in the grid..lol
5:19 am
mrpresident
and sly stallone
5:20 am
zoozzoom
I must say though, MrP I am very very greatful for the Lickety clues!
5:20 am
mrpresident
oh that is good! we were happy to develop it
5:21 am
zoozzoom
Because of the li4 I can pretty much finish every grid apart from when I fall asleep..lol
5:22 am
zoozzoom
And mmorewords or a2z
5:22 am
mrpresident
oh yes! have been known to fall asleep on the keyboard! I looked like a complete moron every time! LOL
5:25 am
zoozzoom
Ah I too now have the SO8/40!
5:25 am
zoozzoom

Hawaii is a fun place to visit! Should a great trip!
6:33 am

I've been there, been to most of the islands. Kauaii is my favorite
6:34 am
Angelsong
I have never been, and my husband has not been back since he and his parents lived there when he was a child
6:35 am
robbie09
Awesome bichon! I've only been to Oahu.
6:35 am
bichon
Each island has something great on it for everyone
6:35 am
Angelsong
there are a few extra challenges. my wheelchair is a big one.
6:36 am
Angelsong
I think we will start with Oahu, since the major airport is there, plus it's close to Pearl Harbor
6:38 am
robbie09
Yes, we flew into Honolulu. Visiting Pearl Harbor was great.
6:38 am
Angelsong
since my husband is a veteran, Pearl Harbor is a must.
6:39 am
bichon
Visiting Pearl Harbor was one of the most sobering experiences of my life. When the boat went out, the Japanese tourist were mixing with everyone and on the return ride, they were silent
6:41 am
Angelsong
bichon, perhaps you would e mail me? I could use some advice from someone who's done this trip. angelsong214 # gmail dot com
6:42 am

Visiting the USS Arizona was very sad and sobering.

Didin't Life on Mars have a sequel series?
7:06 am
mrpresident
i am struggling with the sa's....
7:06 am
Lizlin
The first 4 are all pretty similar.
7:06 am
robbie09
I never did see the finale of Life on Mars!
7:06 am
Lizlin
Yes, Ashes to Ashes.
7:07 am
Lizlin
The UK version of Life on Mars was totally different from the US version.
7:07 am
mrpresident
have monkeyed up and down to no avail
7:08 am
jwr
I didn't know they were different. Thought I saw the UK version
7:08 am
Lizlin
I preferred the UK version - though the ending was really confusing but that was cleared up in Ashes to Ashes.
7:09 am
Lizlin
The sa words all start with s + picnic pest and then extend
7:09 am
jwr
Liz, was there a US version of Ashes to Ashes too?
7:09 am
Lizlin
I never saw that - don't think it came to Aus.
7:10 am
Lizlin
So, i don't know
7:10 am

thanks liz... another one not in enable
7:10 am
jwr
mrp, old Indian custom of wife throwing herself on husband;s pyre
7:11 am

Looking in google, I don't think there was a US version - with the US ending of Life on Mars it wouldn't have made sense.

they overwinter as larvae and there isn't anything to kill them except manually

i feel badly for the whole situation. i never fully realized how much kids miss out on by not going to school. I brought over some tadpoles from my pond the other day, and jokingly called them his "classmates for the day." Not only had he never seen one, he had no idea - NONE - what they were. What sort of life is that for a child?
8:07 am

8:09 am
Anniebrook

8:14 am
Anniebrook

bichon, I broke the code...LOL
8:28 am
HarryHood
I saw him in the early eighties, but it was his country phase - it wasn't very good. Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter opened.
8:31 am
Trifioso
from the reviews I have read, we aren't in for much of a treat this time either - he is ripped at Monsanto, only is playing songs from his new album< "Monsanto rising", and lecturing about the dangers of big food. EVERY review has included the word "cranky." we got the tix on groupon for $20, so whatever
8:32 am
HarryHood
bad night at a concert is better than a good night at home?
8:33 am

Well, I just saw something I never expected in this location. A big sinkhole took out Interstate 10 in both directions from Phoenix to Palm Springs! They had a lot of rain in that (of course, I gone NONE of it here) and somehow that happened. Going to be a real mess for traffic, especially truckers.
8:45 am
MimiCat
And hi, everyone!
8:45 am
Anniebrook
What a mess!
8:45 am
hego
I thought there was a washed out bridge.
8:46 am
MimiCat
Nope...sinkhole...even a car upended in it.
8:47 am
hego
Well the news here is confused, then. I definitely saw film of a collapsed bridge.
8:47 am
MimiCat
Though there might be a bridge out in another location. They got a lot of rain in the west...but not here...alas.

They will have to really try to get it done quickly because that's the major route in the south to California for the entire country. Truckers will especially not like going around it and racking up miles and hours.

We still have I-8 but it goes up into mountains and that's not good for gas mileage on those trucks. But at least it can get them there and take about 2-3 hours longer.
9:06 am
MimiCat
Me, too, pen. I'm lamenting the absent E for oyster.

Hot, Nef. Very hot.
2:37 pm
Nef
Well, if you have what we had last week; I understand (stay inside!)
2:37 pm
Nef
We are actually having a second day (in a row!) of lovely summer weather! :-)

zoozzoom
Thank you, Nef :-)
2:40 pm
Nef
78 (F) here with just 55% humidity (I'm loving it!)
2:41 pm
magazinemom
That sounds lovely Nef!
2:41 pm
zoozzoom
Sorry to be a pain, Nef, NA 8 / what?
2:41 pm
Nef
na8/50 (youasked what it started with!) ;-)
2:42 pm
zoozzoom
I know and I thank you.
2:42 pm
Nef
It is lovely; but we've had humidity levels of 70 - 80 % recently, and I wouldn't wish those on anyone!
2:43 pm
zoozzoom
I was also hoping the word might jump out at me..lol
2:43 pm
zoozzoom
Thank you, Molly :-)
2:46 pm
Nef
Just giving you a little grief, zoo. I didn't want to do more than what you asked for.
2:46 pm
zoozzoom
Teehee no worries, Nef :-)
2:47 pm
Nef
Good! :-D. How are you doing lately, zoo?
2:48 pm
zoozzoom
I am well thanks.And how about yourself?
2:48 pm
magazinemom
Informal poll- what color are your walls painted? We're looking at houses and I've seen lots of bright white, which means I'll have to paint them a neutral color I like better and then yesterday we saw some that were painted mustard yellow. Yikes!
2:48 pm
zoozzoom
Zoo zooz pillock what ever :-)
2:48 pm
KatieMcG
Evening everyone 😄
2:48 pm
Nef
doing well also, zooz.
2:49 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, Katie :-)
2:49 pm
Judi
Our walls are neutral, mag mom. Goes with everything!
2:49 pm
magazinemom
Hi Katie!
2:49 pm
Nef
magazinemom, I've been house hunting with my daughter lately & from what I've seen, there is no accounting for taste!
2:49 pm
zoozzoom
I am boring, Magazinemom, Mine are magnolia only as that color seems to go with anything.
2:50 pm
Judi
My SIL painted every room in her house a different (bright) color. She likes it, but it gives me a headache after about 5 minutes.
2:50 pm
magazinemom
See, neutral, magnolia-- that's what I'm looking for so I won't have to paint and that's what I will be repainting my house in to get it ready to sell.
2:51 pm
MollyL
Judi, I have seen houses like that. It looks like Walt Disney threw up.
2:51 pm
Nef
I like pastels: one room is a very soft butter yellow, another is pastel teal, another is baby blue, etc.
2:52 pm
Judi
I believe most buyers prefer to see neutral colored walls. Just about any shade of pink is a major violation in my humble opinion.
2:52 pm
magazinemom
Obviously, it's not a make or break the sale kind of thing, but for the price I'm going to be paying I hate to have to go in and start painting once we buy.
2:52 pm
zoozzoom
Got the AN8 thanks once again :-)
2:52 pm
magazinemom
That sounds pretty Nef. I could handle that :)
2:52 pm
Nef
My neighbors just sold their house & had painted everything a very soft grey with a accent color on some smaller walls. It looks very rich - & soothing too
2:53 pm
magazinemom
Plus, I have to minimize any kind of confusion going on in the house. Mom had mid-stage Alzheimer's and we are all moving in together.
2:54 pm
Judi
Phantom: Lobster.
2:54 pm
Nef
thanks. (of course, my kitchen is plain old white (the better to see spatters & spills I've learned!)
2:54 pm

i keep seeing that too Judi

mo7/32, please?
2:55 pm
magazinemom
Me too Judi.

zoozzoom
light from the rock in the sky at night.
2:55 pm
Nef
magazinemom, one thing I learned years ago was that pink (especially what I call Pepto-Bismal pink) helps calm agitated people
2:56 pm
Nef
(My daughter's room was painted that color when she was younger; it really worked! She was a very difficult child)
2:56 pm
magazinemom
Nef, the people who lived in my first house must have read that article. Lol. Of course they also used shelf paper as wall paper.
2:56 pm
zoozzoom
MO 7/32 light from the rock in the sky at night (the one that gives us tides)
2:57 pm
magazinemom
great clue zooz! ty
2:57 pm
Nef
Shelf papaer on a wall? Oh MY! That must have been tough to remove!
2:58 pm
magazinemom
It was not pretty. The last 2 houses I've lived in have been fixer-uppers. I swore when I bought another one that it would be ready to live in.
2:58 pm
Judi
Shelf paper on the wall? I think that's a crime in most states and countries.
2:59 pm
magazinemom
Judi-
3:00 pm
magazinemom
Judi- they had painted the cabinets aqua and stenciled purple geese on them
3:00 pm

3:00 pm
Marc Freeman
thanks zoozzoom got it
3:00 pm
zoozzoom
Welcome, Marc.
3:01 pm
magazinemom
And all the walls (even within the same room) were different colors like they had bought paint remnants.
3:01 pm
Judi
I guess those things can happen when you let a four year old decorate your house. Egad.
3:01 pm
magazinemom
My current house just looked like 1968 and I had to take the gold mirror tiles off the wall in the entryway.
3:03 pm
Marc Freeman
an7, please?
3:04 pm

<I think I just lost my appetite thinking what that must have looked like, magazine mom. I hope it was worth the discountin price!
3:04 pm

Small picnic pest + the roaring big cat.
3:04 pm

I think all the interior designers from the 60's & 70's were on acid.
3:04 pm

3:04 pm

Aqua cabinets with purple geese is probably the most heinous kitchen decoration theme I have ever heard of
3:05 pm
Marc Freeman

3:05 pm

The first one my dad helped me and my ex buy at a sheriff's auction, so yeah, cheap.
3:06 pm

3:06 pm
Judi
Fixer Upper = Money Pit.
3:07 pm

na8...swimming, floating...adverb form
3:07 pm
Judi
Our first house was... a disaster.
3:08 pm
Nef
during high school I let my daughter paint her room. (It's a basement bedroom with panelled wood walls) She painted it with brink yellow and bright pink stripes. *I* couldn't stand it; & when she was moving out for college I made her paint it a nice soft color. She chose a muted pastel turquoise and used a very soft grey-white for the trim.
3:08 pm
zoozzoom
Thanks..looking..
3:09 pm
Judi
When I think of all the money we put into that hovel, I should be retired by now.
3:09 pm
magazinemom
My 17 year old wants purple walls. I told her she would be the one painting over them when the house had to be sold
3:10 pm
Judi
Purple... just a more intense shade of pink. Violation!
3:10 pm
Marc Freeman
bo7, please?
3:10 pm
Nef
make her paint them the color she wants; but she HAS to re-paint it when she goes to college. My daughter learned that maybe her color choices needed to be toned down a bit
3:10 pm
magazinemom
That's how that first house I had was, Judi. My dad really thought he was helping us out, but it would have been cheaper and easier if he had just cosigned a loan for us.
3:11 pm

3:11 pm
Judi
We were so young and stupid, Mag mom. The lot was beautiful, but the house was determined to kill us.
3:12 pm
magazinemom
good point nef. I told her no violent purple. She has a comforter set in mind, so I told her to try to coordinate with that in something not too bright.
3:14 pm
zoozzoom
The only one I can come up with is natatory .
3:15 pm
Nef
Oh, yeah, one more thing: make her do all of the cleanup too. (ANY & all drips & spatters, + cleaning out the brushes, etc). I really think my daughter learned that cleaning up was work too. (She had to do 3 coats of paint to cover up the bright yellow & pinks.
3:16 pm
Nef
Zooz, think G
3:16 pm
Judi
Ha ha! Good for you, Nef. Painting a room is a slog. Especially the corners.

3:44 pm
Nef
(I had a phone call, so delayed response.

6:45 pm
Aloyisius
lol.. the tv show.. love watching it an imagining how difficult some of the physical challenges are
6:45 pm
stidmama
oh! *grin* still not watching much TV although it's tempting some days.
6:46 pm
stidmama
just want to get down to 70, then will take a break again and go sort a few more items (I hope) into the garbage...
6:46 pm
Aloyisius
one of the few shows I watch.. inspiring for this body with waning strength and flexibility..
6:47 pm
Aloyisius
are you having a garage sale, stid?
6:53 pm
stidmama
no, still going through boxes from the fire (and from the storage locker that we emptied when we moved home last year)
6:54 pm
stidmama
The items that might be garage-sale worthy are few and far between. I am keeping a few sentimental items, photographing some items (setting some things aside for scanning this winter), and selecting things from the storage locker that are still school-worthy. Things from the house fire are NOT school-worthy, but a few items are recoverable enough to keep as heirlooms.
6:56 pm
stidmama
and that's 70... how is your summer going, aloyisius?
6:58 pm
Aloyisius
oh.. am sorry you have to go through all this.. we live in a 100yr+ old farmhouse in Ohio.. and so much stuff has accumulated from the attic to the basement and garage that it is mind boggling and overwhelming.. really need to do what you are doing now but not sure where to start.. will take some tips from you.. ty.. summer is going well, full of travel this year, so .. once again, the house is neglected.. oh well.. time to scoot for Ninja Warrior.. wishing you good progress, stid!
6:58 pm
cosdem

7:46 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:52 pm
penquis
the word "craving" implies a strange fascination with something... ;o)
7:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
well then, when applied to food, i guess the word in used incorrectly. yet such a common usage.
7:57 pm
penquis
oh it's fine.....just thinking aloud...
7:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
need to dive in and finish, busy day, just grabbing dinner.
8:43 pm
MollyL
Hmm, and yet synonyms for craving are longing, yearning, desire, all in keeping with the whole food idea (and other things)
