Hi Everyone

Hi nan and WTG Diz

If you have ever lived in or travelled in Britain and want a really good laugh, google "An American's Description of Life in the UK" and expand Scott Waters' 2nd post --- read it 20 minutes ago and still chuckling - every word is true!
12:32 am
Lizlin
It's wonderful Nan - and very true :)
12:33 am
cybernan
loved the bathroom light is a string hanging from the ceiling and the outlets all have switches but some of them don't do anything
12:34 am
Lizlin
For me it was the tipping one. We fell foul of that by Lake Ontario, when we were expected to tip after just ordering a beer and an OJ.
12:35 am
Lizlin
And when my hubby first taught in the UK, he told the kids to take off their pants for PE (in the UK kids wear shorts and Tshirts for PE lessons), so that one's Australian too.

1:24 am
grannyrose
i feel like i have been a very deep hole. i am actually starting to feel like me again.
1:25 am
flosey
super, glad to hear it Rose, has been a very lengthy ordeal
1:27 am
grannyrose
yup, sure has. the TENS machine has changed everything. plus i have been commenced on another new med last wednesday. knee pain manageable now for the first time in nearly 3 years.
1:28 am
flosey
that is far too long to be in such pain, Rose
1:32 am
grannyrose
flosey, i have a lot of patience i thunk. plus my dad's attitude to life. laugh at your misfortunes and smile through your pain.
1:32 am
grannyrose
lolll *think*
1:34 am
grannyrose
it has been difficult for a lot of my friends because by just looking at me, one would think that there is nothing wrong.
2:05 am

3:42 am
zoozzoom
All well this end thanks! Parents are doing well too :-)
3:44 am
sprite
good to hear :) I will brb, must reboot computer
3:44 am
zoozzoom
No worries.
3:48 am
grannyrose
*giggles* {{hugs}} sprite. and g'day zooz
3:49 am
sprite
back. Grrrr it still doesn't work.
3:49 am
grannyrose
zooz. your parents all good, ma4 ??
3:49 am
grannyrose
whaqt's not working my dearest?
3:49 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Hello darling, I am trying to connect my phone to my puter so I can send you the photos of the flowers. I have just thrown them out. Isn't it amazing how long they have lasted?
3:51 am
grannyrose
wow!! what an amazing length of time!! i am so pleased. must give the florist a good write-up.
3:51 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Rose, Parents well thanks. how are you?
3:51 am
zoozzoom
Sorry was making a cup of tea :-)
3:52 am
zoozzoom
You could put them as your icon, Sprite!
3:53 am
zoozzoom
For a day or two.
3:53 am
sprite
no I couldn't. For that, I'd need the picture on my puter. And that is exactly the problem.
3:53 am
zoozzoom
Oh I see do you not have a caed reader?
3:54 am
sprite
apparently not. I have installed the drivers for this phone but when I connect it, it still says the device is not recognised.
3:57 am
zoozzoom
http://tinyurl.com/pjmyuox
3:57 am
zoozzoom
Not sure it helps but you could try this site.
3:59 am
sprite
yeah tried all that. It is frustrating. Thanks though, zooz :)
4:00 am
sprite
especially because sometimes my puter does recognise the phone, and sometimes it doesn't.
4:01 am
zoozzoom
if you click on device manager and then look for universal serial bus controllers and click on the little arrow next to it and see if there is a yellow exclamation mark. that will tell you if something is wrong or not
4:02 am
zoozzoom
and then you should be able to right click the exclamation mark and trouble shoot it.
4:03 am
zoozzoom
when you click on the little arrow all the USBs should come up as a list and if one of them has a yellow exclsmation mark on it that could be your camera one plugged in and not being recognized.
4:03 am
sprite
yeah I tried that too. It doesn't help. It says then that the problem is that the device is not working properly. It is. Grrrrr.
4:04 am
zoozzoom
Can not think of anything else. where is Crossy when you need him lol
4:04 am
sprite
I took the pictures with my phone.
4:04 am
zoozzoom
Does the photos get stored on google cloud or somthing similar when you take a photo?
4:05 am
sprite
yeah well sometimes I connect the phone and all goes well. And other times it gives this message. I really don't get it. And I am pretty good with puters myself!
4:05 am
sprite
no, just on the phone
4:06 am
zoozzoom
How about trying to conect it to another computer like a friends?
4:06 am
sprite
ni na no nu nahhhhh
4:06 am
sprite
ah, that is a good idea, will ask one of my kids when they come home. Thanks zooz.
4:06 am
zoozzoom
lol are you using expert, Sprite!
4:06 am
MollyL
Email the picture to yourself from your phone.
4:07 am
zoozzoom
Another good idea, Molly!
4:07 am
sprite
that is another good idea, thanks molly. Will try that.
4:07 am
zoozzoom
Or the photo to Rose's phone?
4:08 am
zoozzoom
I think we are getting there ladies!
4:09 am
sprite
yeah but that might be expensive, zooz
4:09 am
zoozzoom
Hope you are well, Molly :-)
4:09 am
zoozzoom
Thought they stopped these roaming charges now?
4:11 am

sprite is your phone an iphone or an android?
4:11 am

4:12 am

4:12 am

ok hold on
4:13 am
zoozzoom
I like your icon, Rose. UK looks tiny compared to Australia lol
4:13 am
grannyrose
and g'day molly. xoxox
4:13 am
grannyrose
*giggle* zooz. a lot of peeps don't realise just how big ozland actually is.
4:13 am
sprite
uk IS tiny. But not as tiny as the netherlands, lol
4:14 am
zoozzoom
Did you do the IS big just make a point of how tiny the UK is, Sprite LOL
4:15 am
zoozzoom
I must admit, Rose I had no idea compared to the whole of eurpoe sitting in Australia like that!
4:15 am
grannyrose
awww zooz... loll
4:16 am
zoozzoom
And I live on the Isle of wight and that is just like a speck of dust compared to Australia LOL
4:17 am
zoozzoom
Coud be the size of your back garden, Rose!!
4:17 am
grannyrose
zooz, it's scary. peeps think if we are going to another capital/state it is only a few minutes. in actual fact, it is usually several days between capitals.
4:17 am
sprite
I did, zooz, lolol
4:17 am
zoozzoom
Thought you did lol
4:18 am
sprite
it is what I always say here... people complain about having to drive to the other side of our country... I tell them in US and Aus people would call that 'local'
4:18 am
zoozzoom
That is scary, Rose. not sure I would be too keen on taking a couple of days to see my parents for a so called quick cup of tea and a chat lol
4:19 am
grannyrose
*giggle* zooz. i used to drive for nearly an hour to get to my mum's place. and she lived in the same city...
4:20 am
zoozzoom
I suppose it is what you get used to.
4:21 am
grannyrose
zooz...we ARE used to traveling great distances to get to our destinations.
4:22 am
zoozzoom
Well lets be honest you do not have much of a choice really. either see them or you don't lol
4:23 am
grannyrose
lolll... you are so right
4:23 am
grannyrose
mind you, to see mrp will takes us 2 days, and to see lizlin will take us 3 days.
4:24 am
zoozzoom
They were talking about an aeroplane the other day that they were either building or they have made where a journey to Australia from the UK would take four hours lol
4:24 am
grannyrose
anike will take us more. depends on whether we fly over or drive.
4:25 am
zoozzoom
They are some large distances, Rose!
4:25 am
grannyrose
yup. they sure are, zooz.
4:26 am
zoozzoom
Okay talking of travel..time for to see parents. Hope you get the phone connecting to computer sorted out, Sprite! Take care, Rose and have a sweet sleep. Have a great day, Molly. Happy babbling everyone!
4:26 am
sprite
whaaaaaaaaa shoot me now! Airdroid installed on puter and phone, all working... now it says device is not rooted?
4:27 am
grannyrose
the one place don and i drove through was the Hay Plains. they gob-smacked us, and we are used to driving vast distances.
4:28 am
grannyrose
don says you don't need root access to use airdroid.
4:29 am
grannyrose
byeeee zooz. enjoy your day and please tell your parents g'day from me. xoxox
4:29 am
sprite
am trying to send you an invite for file transfer through airdroid, rose
4:29 am
sprite
bye zooz! *hugs* and say hi to your parents from me
4:31 am
grannyrose
i have installed airdroid .
4:33 am
sprite
rrrrrright! Now we're cooking, I can send stuff to my puter now.
4:33 am
sprite
hold on, I will send you the fotos now
4:36 am
grannyrose
don and i simply cannot understand why you can't send pics from your phone to my computer...
4:40 am
sprite
I have no idea. The flipping thing keeps saying the device is not rooted
4:41 am
sprite
and when I try to add you as a friend, it says you are not registered and to send you an invite
4:41 am
grannyrose
silly puters...
4:41 am
sprite
is it registered with don's email maybe?
4:41 am
grannyrose
acckk. and i have accepted..
4:42 am
grannyrose
nope. don says no. and the invite came through to me.
4:43 am
grannyrose
here's a thought. can you use the pic as your profile pic?
4:44 am
sprite
I have sent them to you through email now, after loading them from airdroid and converting them from png to jpg
4:44 am
grannyrose
yay!!! and they are here. how lovely they are. i am so pleased.
4:45 am
sprite
finally! Lol, the hoops our puters make us jump through. Glad you got them.
4:46 am
grannyrose
not as pleased as i am that you got the flowers.
4:46 am
sprite
they were so lovely. And so fresh and strong
4:47 am
grannyrose
sprite, as long as they brought you pleasure. that is all i hoped for, sweetie.
4:48 am
sprite
*hugs* they did. I hated to throw them out. But I had to, lol
4:49 am
grannyrose
my dear...the joy they brought you is all i hoped for, honey. when we feel so low, i find flowers lift us up.
4:49 am
sprite
ohhhh I can text by using my computer keyboard now! Oh, give Don a kiss from me!
4:50 am
sprite
they sure do, rose. And what helps even more, is knowing I have a friend like you who goes out of her way to bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
4:50 am
grannyrose
on his cheek i trust... lolll
4:51 am
sprite
yes, a chaste one on his cheek. His face cheek.
4:51 am
sprite
hm now that I think about it... do you even remember how to give Don a chaste kiss? Hm???
4:51 am

awww, honey.... i would walk the plank, go to the guillotine, whatever for you.

perhaps we can clue the n3 7 as it is: italian cocktail.
9:30 am
72 Temple Owl
and a yummy one, i can attest
9:30 am
Judi
Ah. Didn't know it was a cocktail. Probably why my monkies found it.
9:31 am
72 Temple Owl
gin, vermouth and campari. crisp.
9:31 am
mattygroves
I'm not a fan of campari
9:31 am
mattygroves
All over the gin, though (yum)
9:32 am
72 Temple Owl
do you like sweet cocktails then?
9:32 am
mattygroves
A good gin and tonic, me. And good beer. A nice bottle of wine never goes amiss, either...
9:32 am
Trifioso
when does putin not look pissed off? I don't think I have ever seen him smile
9:33 am
Trifioso
matty, lol - a nice bottle of wine went into a miss last night - this one!
9:34 am
72 Temple Owl

IN 6/7/8 - add vowels to the 6
9:44 am
Scrabbler
My TV is from 1992, so I am thinking of being nice to myself for Xmas.
9:44 am
mattygroves
I think that's the wrong 8, teach? There's an in7/28 and an 8/40 that builds from the 6
9:44 am
bichon
in 7/36, pls
9:45 am
Judi
Whoa. Totally analog. Time to step into the 21st century, Scrabbs.
9:45 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I am ready, Judi, and BJ's Wholesale has some great deals so I may buy 2 or even 3.
9:45 am
wvteach
mkg wanted clues for the 8s
9:45 am
Judi
Hi-Def, Plasma or LCD. Smart TV is good too.
9:45 am
Trifioso
you won't believe the difference scrabbler. An important consideration is: what do you use your tv for? Just viewing? Watching DVDs, blu rays? Playing on a gaming system? is a sound bar necessary, ifyou listen to a lot of music programming?
9:46 am
Scrabbler
24 inch, or 29 inch at the most. I am not into these mega-screen TVs.
9:46 am
bichon
I wanted the in 7/36. Do you have it?
9:46 am
wvteach
no - do not have it
9:46 am
Trifioso
hmmm. really? You should consider at least a 40+" one. serioulsy!
9:47 am
mkg
i dont have the in 7 either. sorry
9:47 am
Scrabbler
I am thinking of ditching cable TV and then streaming everything via Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix...
9:47 am
mkg
i am looking for it
9:47 am
Judi
Bigger is better in TV. Plus, they are relatively inexpensive now. And thinner/lighter. Get that home theater feel. You'll be glad you did.
9:47 am
Scrabbler
Well, maybe 40 inch for the LR.
9:48 am
Trifioso
then you really should consider a bigger screen, due to letter box
9:48 am
Judi
The older your eyes get, the more they'll appreciate a bigger TV..
9:48 am
Trifioso
its nicer for when people are watching wtih you as well
9:48 am
bichon
Definitely stream Scrabs
9:49 am
Judi
Although, we found that having a bigger TV lead to needing a bigger couch. More viewers for the big games and such.
9:49 am
Scrabbler
I don't watch much TV at all--news, Big Bang, Law & Order, Seinfeld--which is why I am ready to ditch cable as they gouge us.
9:50 am
bichon
We have a fiber optics company which is much cheaper than cable
9:50 am
Trifioso
can you get internet without a cable provider? That is not an option where i live, sadly
9:50 am
Scrabbler
I am on the computer more than watching TV, or I read.
9:50 am
Judi
When you go to the Big Box store, watch some National Geographic Channel on the big screens. You will be AMAZED by the beauty.
9:50 am
Scrabbler
I can get internet but not get cable TV. No FiOS out here in the boonies.

10:14 am
MLFAN17
matty what are the stats for the ma word I only have one and that doesn't seem to be working?
10:15 am
mattygroves

10:18 am
MLFAN17
i mean ma
10:18 am
MLFAN17
oops said that
10:18 am
Scrabbler
Yes, although I must decide on the size. TV is not a big part of my life so I do not want a huge screen in my LR. I was looking at 29 - 32 inch screens. I will look at my choices.
10:19 am
bichon
We don't have a real big screen one either. We have Netflix but no other one
10:19 am
Scrabbler
I have a TV in my BR that I never use.
10:20 am
MLFAN17
scrab we have a tv in our bedroom too
10:21 am
Scrabbler
I have been in homes with enormous TV screens, but I do not want that. I spend a lot of time on my computer but watch little TV.
10:21 am
MLFAN17
can someone help with the middle A and the corner N on 5th row please?
10:21 am
MLFAN17
i think big screen tvs are a waste of money
10:21 am
Scrabbler
So, buying a smart TV means I can cancel cable TV and save lots of money every month.
10:22 am
Scrabbler
MLFAN, for some people watching TV is important to them.
10:22 am
Scrabbler
The corner N = same as ma6 (ma6 of honor at a wedding) but change M to N)
10:23 am
MLFAN17
scrab it is for me to some extent but watching and oversized tv is too much on the eyes for me
10:23 am
Scrabbler
4th column A = a5 = a + Ma4 = M4 Street, America
10:23 am
MLFAN17
ty for na i finally got it was going the wrong way
10:23 am
Scrabbler
I do not want a TV to be the central item of my LR.
10:24 am
MLFAN17
agreed with that scrab
10:24 am
Scrabbler
2nd column lone e?
10:25 am

I have one A from there but which word...
10:32 am
MLFAN17
clues for the 8s please?
10:32 am
Scrabbler
ad5 = Don Draper
10:32 am
Scrabbler
I have no 8s
10:33 am
MLFAN17
scrab don draper is a character in a tv series?
10:34 am
Scrabbler
Madmen, which I never watched, but I knew about. ad + not a woman
10:36 am
MLFAN17
thanks scrab. i started to watch it but i could never figure out when it was on and when it wasn't. In fact when they said they were going to cancel it i stopped watching but it was actually still on
10:40 am
Scrabbler
I do not watch most TV series until a year or two out. I wait to decide if I want to watch or not. I resist being sucked into popular culture as I am a nonconformist.
10:41 am
Scrabbler
Most popular TV shows are rubbish.
10:42 am
bichon
Amen to that Scrabs
10:42 am
MLFAN17
i tried to get into some of the new series on regular tv this year and even though i like some of the actors in them i watched once and that was it
10:43 am
Scrabbler
TY, bichon. I watch bits of "highly rated" TV shows and nearly gag.
10:43 am
Scrabbler
Thus I am ready to cancel cable TV and start streaming what I want.
10:44 am
bichon
Scrabs, I agrre wholey. You ar joining a lot of people
10:45 am
bichon
If we didn't have fiber optic cable, which is much cheaper than regular cable, we would have gone to soley streaming
10:45 am
Scrabbler
Sometimes there is nothing worth watching on TV at all, other than news.
10:45 am
MLFAN17
we have fiber optics its not much cheaper here or doesn't seem as such
10:46 am
Scrabbler
Will I miss out on some stuff? Yes, such as sports, but I will survive.
10:46 am
MLFAN17
bichon do you have any of the 8s?
10:46 am

I watch a lot of Figure Skating, so I need TV for that

MollyL
Ah, a Golden Thanksgiving. Hint: Get rid of the Elly explanation.
4:53 pm
cosdem
I did but I guess I was too slow
4:53 pm
MollyL
What's on the docket for Thanksgiving, Cos? Any ham roll ups in your forecast?
4:53 pm
cosdem
well we are cooking this year.. bought all the trimmings and stuff.. MIL is doing nothing but enjoy the food.
4:54 pm
cosdem
no ham roll ups.. resevred for christmas usually and easter
4:58 pm

cosdem
Snow in forecast for Thursday though. MIL wont drive if she sees a single flake
5:04 pm
MollyL
I'm not that bad, but if it's a significant prediction I stay off the roads. Too many idiot drivers around here.
5:06 pm
cosdem
Yeah if if its steady or flurry I stay in... but if one flake every 3 hours.. i dont mind.. she freaks out and layers up like crazy though :)
5:10 pm
MollyL
Some people are "delicate" and "sensitive" that way.

5:33 pm
Dianne
How about the last ne7 (7/36)?
5:36 pm
penquis

5:39 pm
therealblah
name of a cocktail made with gin, vermouth and bitters
5:40 pm
therealblah
surprised it's not a proper noun
5:42 pm
cybernan
happy thanksgiving to the USA
5:42 pm
penquis
ty, nan...
5:43 pm
cybernan
no idea on that cocktail --- guess I don't spend enough time in bars!
5:43 pm
therealblah
thx nan! looking forward to the big feast
5:43 pm
penquis
i had to google it...
5:49 pm
cybernan
first ai 6 please
5:49 pm
Lizlin
ai 6 - person who helps
5:50 pm
cybernan
isn't that a 5?
5:51 pm
penquis
no...ends with the word for male...
5:51 pm
Lizlin
It is, but also a 6 - compound word
5:51 pm
cybernan
oh - got it
5:51 pm
cybernan
ty liz and pen
5:52 pm
Lizlin
Looking for it
5:53 pm
Lizlin
Rhymes with someone very small
5:54 pm
Lizlin
Opposite of the gi 5 that I just found
5:55 pm
Lizlin
Should've said a description of ... - hope that's not offensive though.
5:56 pm
mixi6
Lilliputian? my mind not is wandering.
5:56 pm
MollyL
Oh Liz, the ways you can offend in these politically correct days are endless.
5:57 pm
Lizlin
True Molly :)
5:57 pm
MollyL
Also rhymes with Sally Field character from the 70's. Wait til you see my Gi6, you'll want her for your Valentine
5:57 pm
penquis
*flashback*....
5:58 pm
mixi6
thought it started with an M. Got it finally.
5:58 pm
Lizlin
Does - why I said, rhymes with...
5:58 pm
MollyL
Well the M word that rhymes with the ni word does start with an M.
5:59 pm
Lizlin
Anyway, sorry couldn't think of a better clue.
5:59 pm
mixi6
not in the dictionary.com
6:00 pm
MollyL
Only in the 60's could a show with main characters like Gi6 and Moon Doggie have flown.
6:00 pm
Lizlin
Not sure that I know the show you're talking about.
6:01 pm
MollyL
ni6 is a fool or a coward. You can find definitions that are not given in the feeble dictionary this game is based on by doing a Google search.
6:01 pm
MollyL
Not sure it was a popular show in England, Liz.
6:01 pm
HarryHood
halfway. but not nbt
6:01 pm
Lizlin
That would explain it - of course I know who Sally Field is though.
6:02 pm
car.eeyore
Hi Harry
6:02 pm
Lizlin
Hi Harry - wanted to send condolences and long life to you and those of your community.
6:02 pm
penquis
hi harry...
6:02 pm
MollyL
Hi Harry hi. How is your school community faring after your sad news?
6:02 pm
HarryHood
I used to enjoy that show. head and shoulders above the flying nun
6:02 pm
HarryHood
molly - things are returning to normal, slowly. The kids are more themselves. I visited the family last night, which was intense.
6:03 pm
MollyL
The whole idea of a show based on a flying nun is indicative of how many drugs were being done in the 60's/70's
6:03 pm
Lizlin
Must be truly awful. Have seen so many video clips on FB - such a tribute.
6:03 pm
HarryHood
or "my mother the car"
6:03 pm
MollyL
Good of you to pay a visit Harry. I will keep those dealing with this sadness in my prayers.
6:03 pm
Lizlin
Ah right. Yes, have heard of the show.
6:04 pm
HarryHood
his gf lost her grandfather the same day.
6:04 pm
HarryHood
also very sudden
6:04 pm
car.eeyore
Oh dear...
6:04 pm
Lizlin
How very, very sad.
6:04 pm
MollyL
I've said it before, and I will say it again. Whoever says "God never gives you more than you can handle" is a big, fat liar.
6:05 pm
HarryHood
18 year old girl - 6000 miles from home, and finds out her bf and grandfather are gone. crazy stuff.
6:05 pm
HarryHood
well she seems to be handling it - she was at the house last night
6:05 pm
Lizlin
She must be torn between both shivas
6:06 pm
HarryHood
tough times.
6:06 pm
MollyL
Harry, you have two choices when that kind of stuff hits you all at once. Handle it or fall apart. Many people seem to be "handling it" when they are on the verge of falling apart on the inside.
6:07 pm
HarryHood
could be molly. it all builds up emotional scar tissue
6:07 pm
Lizlin
It'll hit even more after the week.
6:07 pm
HarryHood
I'm going to invent a new orange drink, remeniscent of orange drinks from the past, and call it Retrogina (re9!)
6:08 pm
Lizlin
I'll try to remember to give sprite that one for her dictionary :)
6:09 pm
HarryHood
gotta bath the kiddies. bbl!
6:09 pm
Lizlin
Have a good evening

7:09 pm
MollyL
The cocktail is gin, vermouth and Campari, with an orange garnish. Not that appealing to me.
7:10 pm
MollyL
But then, I would rather live the rest of my life sober than drink gin.
7:11 pm
atropos
no idea what Campari is.... I type this an inch away from a search engine....
7:17 pm
penquis
it's a red liqueur....
7:18 pm

Penquis : The New Competition For Google Search
7:20 pm
penquis
one thing i don't like about Google Search is that one has to manually erase an entry....there is no reset button....
7:21 pm
MollyL
Not sure I understand that Pen. Or why people feel the need to toss syrupy stuff into liquor.
7:25 pm
penquis
when i type something in to google it....and then i want to change that, there should be an x button or something that would delete my original entry....
7:25 pm
penquis
i can drink both hard stuff and hard stuff with additives... ;o)
7:25 pm
rururocks
you don't have the ungoogle button?
7:28 pm
MollyL
Oh, okay, I just retype my original thought if I mess up the first time.
7:29 pm
atropos
pen, highlight the messed up entry, and hold shift and tap delete.
7:29 pm
atropos
viola, gone
7:30 pm
MollyL
Or just backspace if you haven't hit enter yet. I thought tis was about already hitting enter, in which case I still don't understand the delete need.
7:31 pm
atropos
well, it works in Chrome, not sure about other browsers
7:31 pm
penquis
it's not important....just a pet peeve for me...
7:31 pm
penquis
if i highlight, i can just type over i guess....
7:31 pm

Or "this". I'm already burned out from Thanksgiving preparations.

7:34 pm
MollyL
I still don't get it. I just went to Google and typed I WANT TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING and then backspaced over it. Took seconds.
7:35 pm
penquis
i know i can do it that way....
7:36 pm
atropos
sorry for stating the obvious
7:36 pm
MollyL
I guess we have just become a society that needs a one click solution...or something like that.
7:39 pm
penquis
atropos...you did not....i did not know that the arrows could be used that way...
7:39 pm
penquis
it's kind of a cool way to highlight something....
7:47 pm
rururocks
