good morning all

2:19 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite

2:19 am

sprite

hiya Liz :) *hugs* for you both. How are you doing?

2:20 am

Lizlin

We're fine thanks - ridiculously busy with social stuff, which is fun but exhausting. Nothing special but it's still good. How are you?

2:21 am

sprite

sounds good! I am fine. Still losing weight and getting thinner, which is very rewarding.

2:21 am

Lizlin

That's brilliant. How are you doing with the food now?

2:22 am

sprite

most cold foods are ok now. Dinner is still an issue. Often with 4 or 5 bites I 'block up', can't eat another bite and feel rather nauseated.

2:22 am

Lizlin

Is that normal?

2:24 am

sprite

we were with 4 on the hospital ward. One can eat and drink everything. One cannot manage drinking. One cannot manage warm food, but cold and drinking is ok (me). And one has trouble with warm and cold food, but can drink.

2:25 am

Lizlin

I guess it all takes time. It's such a huge change for your body to adjust to.

2:25 am

Lizlin

But it's great that the weight loss is so effective.

2:25 am

sprite

yes it is a complete rerouting in the body. I never expected it to go without any trouble, so I am not disappointed or worried. I just accept it as it is and have faith it will get better in time.

2:26 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning dear sprite. {{hugs}} lizgirl. how are you both today?

2:26 am

Lizlin

I haven't chatted to you or Rose for ages. How is Rose?

2:26 am

Lizlin

And there she is!!!! LOL! Hi and hugs Rose.

2:26 am

sprite

hiya rose :) *hugs* Another ok night for you?

2:27 am

grannyrose

yes honey. and despite being busy today, not a lot of cramping or spasms.

2:27 am

sprite

that is a good thing. And Saturday is near.

2:27 am

sprite

I am fine, darling.

2:28 am

Lizlin

Something special on Saturday?

2:28 am

grannyrose

didn't do the bathroom although the bucket of cleaners and weapons of mass destruction is sitting in there waiting. but i did get the last of the clean wash fold etc .

2:29 am

sprite

I am glad you are pacing yourself, rose. Well done.

2:29 am

grannyrose

liz, going in for denervation and next magnesium infusion.

2:29 am

Lizlin

Cutting or disabling a nerve?

2:29 am

sprite

oh I love the 8!

2:30 am

Lizlin

I have the 8 but not the 7 :(

2:30 am

grannyrose

lol, it's a good one isn't it?

2:30 am

sprite

me neither so far.

2:30 am

Lizlin

Pretty stuck with 32 left.

2:30 am

sprite

am only at halfway

2:31 am

grannyrose

i love the 7. it's such a nice word full of vowels

2:31 am

Lizlin

I did about 20 before I went to the gym.

2:31 am

Lizlin

Thanks Rose - don't know why but that did it!

2:31 am

sprite

I keep seeing heretic and hermetic

2:32 am

grannyrose

wow!! good for you liz

2:32 am

Lizlin

Just added an extra vowel to the 6 :)

2:32 am

rolin

morning all... hey liz have you got your package yet?

2:32 am

Lizlin

Ah! A medical word.

2:32 am

Lizlin

Yes Ro - it arrived on Monday - so quick. Pool's not warm enough yet to try it out.

2:32 am

sprite

*trying all 6s she found so far*

2:32 am

grannyrose

yes liz. that's what makes it so easy. if you have the 6, always look for that 7

2:32 am

sprite

hiya ro :)

2:33 am

Lizlin

I'll try and remember that one, Rose.

2:33 am

sprite

oh I forgot to tell you... my girl found an address to stay in england and she is going in the fall holidays.

2:33 am

grannyrose

g'day rolin

2:33 am

grannyrose

yay for Caya. i hope she has a wonderful time.

2:33 am

Lizlin

That's brilliant, Sprite. Really happy for her. Hope she has a great time.

2:34 am

sprite

thanks, so do I.

2:34 am

grannyrose

friends of ours stayed in a convent when they were in london. they said it was brilliant.

2:35 am

sprite

oh I believe it. But she really wanted to stay in a family and participate in normal everyday life. So I am glad we found a good address. Had hoped babble would render one, but alas.

2:35 am

sprite

yay for Rob's canoe friends

2:36 am

Lizlin

Which part of England?

2:36 am

sprite

near Bristol

2:36 am

Lizlin

Lovely part of the country.

2:37 am

sprite

she will help out with the kids and in the shop. And the last day and night she will spend at a colleague's of the shop owner, because the family will leave on vacation then.

2:38 am

Lizlin

She should get loads of practice with her English like that. I'm so glad it all worked out.

2:38 am

sprite

me too. And when it 'clicks' between her and the family, and I expect it will, she will have a place to return too some other time too.

2:39 am

sprite

to return to*

2:39 am

Lizlin

Here's hoping :)

2:39 am

sprite

:D

2:40 am

sprite

everybody always loves my girl. She is very lovable and good company. The guy is a bit uppity, but has a good heart. Don't know his wife or kids but Rob says they are ok.

2:41 am

sprite

found the 7

2:41 am

Lizlin

That's a good start and that fact that they could he 4 out is also good.

2:41 am

Lizlin

WTG Sprite

2:42 am

sprite

yeah it is nice all over. Will miss her though!

2:42 am

Lizlin

Of course you will

2:44 am

Lizlin

How long will she be away?

2:44 am

sprite

a week

2:44 am

Lizlin

I expect it'll go very fast though probably faster for her.

2:45 am

sprite

oh, for her it will be over in a flash, no doubt.

2:49 am

grannyrose

don is reading an article written by someone called daniel greenfield. it is about the refugees and their attitudes. it's unbelievable.

2:49 am

sprite

in what way?

2:51 am

grannyrose

no wonder the countries close to syria don't want them. the ones in sweden are stripping their clothes off in protest because it is cold. the ones in italy are demanding food from their own country and won't eat pasta. and on and on

2:52 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go - out to a friend's for dinner tonight and need to get ready. Whale watching tomorrow - one of the last of this season. Hugs to you both.

2:52 am

grannyrose

they have been offered stations where they can access the internet, but are protesting because they want free wifi.

2:52 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} lizgirl. xoxox to you both

2:53 am

sprite

Rob has encountered so much gratitude from the refugees. And I can understand, up to a point, the attitude. Having to flee your country and ending up somewhere you never wanted to be is a total loss of control of one's life. I can understand the tendency to lash out to something, anything, once you are safe. It is not smart nor grateful, but understandable.

2:53 am

sprite

have a grand time, Liz. *hugs* for you both.

2:54 am

grannyrose

one family have been put up in a caravan with air-con, water everything. not one word of thanx. because they are muslim they expect us as infidels to serve them.

2:55 am

sprite

again, Rob hasn't encountered any of that kind of attitude here. He couldn't enter one of the buildings or he was hugged, or waved at.

2:56 am

grannyrose

i guess sprite, it depends on the group of people. it just seems a pity that the few are making it more difficult for the majority.

2:57 am

mattygroves

Good morning! I have an interview today - so fingers crossed

2:57 am

grannyrose

it's the same ol', same ol'.

2:57 am

grannyrose

good luck, matty. i hope everything goes smoothly for you.

2:58 am

sprite

that is always the case, isn't it? There are assholes in every group. But I think it is important to remember these people have seen horrible things, had to flee their homeland, got a rotten journey, ended up somewhere they didn't want to go and where they are not wanted. Total loss of control over one's life. And then they are safe, but not in a very comfortable position. The tendency to lash out at the hand that feeds them is human. It is the first step towards healing.

2:58 am

sprite

oh matty, good luck!

3:01 am

mattygroves

Thank you! How is everyone in your parts of the world?

3:01 am

sprite

you know, rose, once they get settled in a temporary place, it is the first moment they have the pe5 to realise all they have lost. It is easy to judge them. But I kinda understand the frustration.

3:02 am

sprite

all is well here, matty, thanks. How are you feeling?

3:03 am

Jayk

daniel greenfield is VERY right wing

3:04 am

grannyrose

honey, i understand their frustration. but i was taught to give thanx for what i have, not regret what i have lost or don't have anymore. i am not judging, because i don't know how i would react myself.

3:04 am

sprite

hiya Jayk!

3:04 am

mattygroves

I'm not bad. I shall shower before too long - I've just sent the job spec and my CV to the printer so slowly getting myself ready.

3:04 am

grannyrose

jay, who does he write for?

3:04 am

sprite

sounds good, matty. Slow and easy. And remember they are lucky to have you.

3:04 am

mattygroves

I agree with Jayk - right wing (indeed, ANY) commentators tend to see what they want to/expect to (as I say, to be fair, confirmation bias is true for everyone, but the right seem to be more obvious about it)

3:07 am

sprite

I thought he might be very right wing. Phrases like us infidels having to cater to the muslims sound very rightwing to me. I for myself want to see people, and not any kind of labeled group. My love has spent most of the last few weeks helping out with the refugees and he has only encountered gratefulness and warmth and good things.

3:07 am

Jayk

several places, all dubious.

3:09 am

sprite

fireflies. I really liked this grid.

3:10 am

grannyrose

okay, taking a large pinch of salt having read about him. he is so focussed on radical muslims. he probably can't see the wood for the trees. please ignore what i have said about the refugees.

3:10 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

3:10 am

sprite

will do, honey *hugs*

3:11 am

mattygroves

I haven't yet found a single big word :( (mind you. there are only 2)

3:12 am

sprite

they are fun to find, matty :)

3:12 am

mattygroves

May I have stats please? Pretty please - just stats?

3:12 am

sprite

I am off for today. A big *hug* to you all. Matty, good luck with the interview. Rose, sleep well again and rest up :) And the rest of you, have a lovely day.

3:13 am

sprite

ca8/50 and pe7/32

3:13 am

grannyrose

ca8/50 and pe7/32

3:13 am

sprite

or what rose said

3:13 am

mattygroves

OK, here I go a-searchin'

3:13 am

{{hugs}} dearest sprite. hope you have a ni4 day. xoxox

zoozzoom

The back part.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Welcome.

4:52 am

dcseain

The power has been cycling. The sound of it going out and coming on has been waking me. So much for sleep tonight. May Dominion -- the power company -- get it sorted out soon.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to here that, DC :-(

4:54 am

dcseain

part of it is the neighborhood is now 29 years old and the underground power cables of that era have a roughly 30-year lifespan.

4:54 am

zoozzoom

Hear*

4:54 am

dcseain

My mom's neighborhood, now 40 years old, has had the cables replaced twice now. The oldest cables -- laid in the 60s had a shorter life.

4:57 am

dcseain

yay recursiveness! my friends rock.

4:58 am

zoozzoom

I hope they can get it sorted out soon for you, DC, and hope it lasts a long time!

4:58 am

dcseain

well, i'm moving next week, so it won't be my problem after that. :)

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Oh well..lol

4:59 am

dcseain

and all in all, it's a small price not to have overhead utilities.

5:01 am

zoozzoom

Hope you like the new area you are moving to, Dc, and the move goes smoothly for you.

5:01 am

lynxxx

Hello to the boys

5:03 am

lynxxx

my message got lost in the ether - I was saying that I agreed that overhead utilities are horrid...ugly poles and bad pruning of street trees every year to keep them away from wires

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Lynxxx :-)

5:05 am

lynxxx

hi Zooz...how have you been keeping?

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Yes we still have a few of those here as well. Thankfully though they are on a rapid decline and underground ones being installed!

5:05 am

zoozzoom

I have been keeping okay thanks for asking, Lynxxx. How about your good self?

5:07 am

lynxxx

I've been pretty well - day;light saving coming up this weekend and Spring kinda happening - looking forward to getting away from the very cold Winter we have had

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes so it is! The opposite for us here then..lol

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Already having rather cool nights :-(

5:09 am

zoozzoom

I hope you have a wonderful summer, Lynxxx :-)

5:09 am

lynxxx

you are very sweet - TY

5:13 am

zoozzoom

We have been lucky the last four or five days now as it has been blues skies and rather pleasant! Hope it lasts a little longer not that i m greedy or anything..lol

5:15 am

lynxxx

an Indian Summer for the Isle of Wight

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Yep!

5:21 am

lynxxx

I might leave the rest of this for the morning...goodnight Zooz and you enjoy the rest of yr Indian Summer

5:21 am

dcseain

We're still on DST here in the States for another 5 weeks. I never change my clocks to standard time. We spend a whopping 20 weeks a year on so-called 'standard' time. Hmph.

5:21 am

zoozzoom

Have a wonderful night, Lynxxx.And hope to see you soon!

5:21 am

dcseain

g'night lyn

5:23 am

zoozzoom

It is a bind, DC.I personally wish they would leave the tie change alone.It is such a hassle keep changing the clocks and watches.I do have two that change automatically but the rest I have to do.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Time*

5:24 am

dcseain

I strongly prefer GMT-4 to GMT-5 DST/EST where i live. AKA here as Grid+1

5:24 am

dcseain

I don't mind getting up in the dark. I hate having to leave work in the dark, thouh.

5:24 am

mattygroves

I seem to be one of the few people who likes DST (BST). It makes me happy

5:25 am

dcseain

my phone and computer auto-update.

5:26 am

mattygroves

Fireworks!

5:26 am

dcseain

it's neat when i cross time-zone lines, as there's often a lag depending on the tower spacing. It took 30 min into Eastern from Central last time for my phone to update. Flat out there, so signals carry far.

5:26 am

dcseain

well done, matty!

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Matty!

5:27 am

dcseain

I don't think most care summer or regular time, so much as want government to pick one and stick with it.

5:28 am

zoozzoom

Exactly!

5:28 am

dcseain

Then there's Spain, which is advance 1hr year-round and 2h during summer time.

5:29 am

dcseain

And Russia advances timezones by an hour like that, too. But at least they're far enough north for that to make a difference.

5:29 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:29 am

dcseain

morning, sukee.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:30 am

sukee

Hi zoo.

5:31 am

5:31 am

5:34 am

lbdawger

hi sukee, zooz, dc. interview went ok. that was round one, we'll see if I made the cut for round 2.

5:36 am

dcseain

5:36 am

sukee

Nice, all I hear is trafic.

5:36 am

sukee

5:36 am

GroovyKiwi

Hello hello

lbdawger

5:37 am

zoozzoom

I always hear birds in the morning now I feed the birds everyday in my back garden :-)

5:37 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Kiwi :-)

5:37 am

dcseain

5:37 am

crosshair

Cats got us up at 04:30 :( cat #1 sat on my face and requested breakfast..... so was up before the burds...

5:37 am

GroovyKiwi

I hear the waves crashing on the beach in the still of the night lol

5:37 am

sukee

nice.

5:37 am

zoozzoom

Very nice, Kiwi :-)

5:38 am

zoozzoom

eeew, Crossy..lol

5:38 am

dcseain

the sound of waves keeps me awake most of the time, at least recordings of it do.

5:38 am

crosshair

Was nit overly impressed lol

5:38 am

lbdawger

hiya, kiwi

5:38 am

dcseain

I feed the cats before i go to sleep to avoid that.

5:38 am

zoozzoom

I can walk to the beach in less than two minutes from where I am.

5:38 am

sukee

Mine are currently running around chasing each other after having finished off the milk from my Cheerios.

5:38 am

bichon

I wake up at 4 am everyday

5:39 am

GroovyKiwi

Usually I'm fighting traffic and planes and wind to hear them so it's a nice change

5:39 am

lbdawger

me too, bichon, unless i have to go in to work at 5, then i'm up at 3

5:40 am

zoozzoom

I am amazed at how many early birds there are here on babble.I am not too keen on early mornings.

5:40 am

sukee

I wake up at 5:30 most mornings

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Wow that is way too early, Dawg!

5:40 am

bichon

Trader Kate is one too. Wonder where she is

5:41 am

bichon

I think that as you get older you get up earlier

5:41 am

zoozzoom

Molly also is an early riser if I remember correctly.

5:41 am

sukee

If I sleep in, the cats let me know.

5:41 am

lbdawger

I like the early mornings, no traffic! it's quiet and peaceful.

5:42 am

zoozzoom

I have heard that, Bichon.Still waiting to see if that will happen to me.Not happend yet :-)

5:42 am

zoozzoom

happened*

5:42 am

dcseain

traderkate was up very late -- she was here around flip.

5:43 am

dcseain

ooh, the sky is lightening. and it's raining again. It's supposed to rain all week.

5:43 am

sukee

I have to wear a jacket today for the first time since May...

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Well at least the plants will be happy, DC :-)

5:44 am

lbdawger

well I've always liked early mornings, but it does seem that the older i get the earlier i get up. but then bed time is dependent on work hours so 8 or 9pm for bed.

5:44 am

GroovyKiwi

Zoom it's nearly midnight ere in New Zealand

5:44 am

zoozzoom

I have been wearing a coat for ages, Sukee.

5:44 am

dcseain

oh, indeed re the plants -- we had a very dry August.

5:44 am

lbdawger

rain...would love to have some.

5:45 am

dcseain

oh, you're in California, yes?

5:45 am

GroovyKiwi

And being as its that late I need to go find m dreams. Good n all

5:45 am

GroovyKiwi

5:46 am

dcseain

5:47 am

zoozzoom

oops I just sneezed and now I have a nose bleed..lol

5:47 am

dcseain

bummer. Neti pot is your friend in terms of keeping the sinuses in good repair

5:48 am

lbdawger

sweet sleeps, kiwi

5:48 am

zoozzoom

I have never heard of neti pot!Will googl it.

5:48 am

sukee

I like my neti pot but I don't use it enough.

5:49 am

lbdawger

it looks like a teapot you pour water through your nose.

5:49 am

sukee

Almost missed that mid-eastern animal.

5:49 am

zoozzoom

eeww not sure I want to use that!

gm trif, jow was the rain?

9:34 am

Trifioso

okay. they won the game! Rain is BUCKETING down now!

9:34 am

kje

woohoo for the win!

9:38 am

Trifioso

it was actually pretty cool - they played on the new turf field, under the lights and all. Every time the hit the ball though, a mighty burst of water splashed all over

9:38 am

kje

would make for cool pictures

9:39 am

Trifioso

I was a parent unto myself - I grabbed secondo's rain coat out of the closet on my way out the door, and it positively REEKED of weed - I thought it best not to sit too close to anyone else! lol

9:40 am

kje

uh oh!

9:40 am

kje

yeah, that's a good way to get a "reputation"

9:40 am

Trifioso

indeed

9:41 am

kje

is weed legalized there?

9:41 am

Trifioso

it is where she goes to college

9:41 am

Trifioso

its not my favorite thing, but Im picking my battles

9:41 am

kje

here too

9:43 am

kje

I hate the smell of it

9:44 am

Trifioso

me too. it's just not my thing. I would much rather enjoy a nice cabernet

9:44 am

kje

I don't mind it being legal... not worth the money spent on fighting that drug war, but I do wish they would enforce no smoking laws as strictly with it as they do with cigarettes. Both set off my allergies something fierce

9:45 am

Trifioso

good point!

9:45 am

Trifioso

I don't mind it being legal either. It's not like people who overdo weed get crazy and beat up cops and such.. they just want to chill out and eat doritos

9:46 am

kje

plus, bc I work for the fed, I can be randomly drug tested... I always wonder what would happen if they test me after a concert in one of the parks where the weed cloud was so strong

9:46 am

Trifioso

again, excellent point

9:46 am

kje

I suspect Frito Lay is donating heavily to the legalization funds ; )

if they aren't they should be!

8:35 pm

penquis

i'll take one....been trying to reduce the size of an image and i can't find an easy way to do that in Photoshop Elements....

8:38 pm

dan2bit

I have Photoshop Creative Cloud, and it shows Image Size and Canvas Size under the Image menu. Maybe Elements works differently?

8:39 pm

MollyL

irfanview...free download and you can re-size, crop and adjust color...among other things. I see the frog is back.

8:41 pm

penquis

yes, the frog is back because i could not resize an image ...

8:42 pm

penquis

i tried changing the dimensions, the dpi....but it doesn't really affect the file size...

8:45 pm

dan2bit

color depth might be the other thing to change, depending on what options you get from "Save As"

8:46 pm

penquis

thanks but i am not going to deal with it anymore tonight....

8:46 pm

dan2bit

kedoke

8:47 pm

penquis

too tired...

8:52 pm

penquis

ooh...i think i did it...

8:52 pm

Buggie

dpi is for printing, it has no effect whatsoever on the PC. Resolution has a major effect, also the file type. PNG is a great lossless format, but does badly on photos. For photos you need JPG, with 80-90% quality.

8:53 pm

penquis

yes, my image is a jpeg file...

8:53 pm

penquis

Can you see my new pic?

8:54 pm

Buggie

yep, after reloading

8:54 pm

penquis
