1:05 am

TheByzantine

november 23, 2004, Bas

1:05 am

Bash

I don't often get to play much. Stop by, throw in a few words, and run. :(

1:06 am

flosey

ah, smart lady! once I start this, I'm not happy unless I can finish it

1:06 am

Bash

Forgot I could see that in my profile. Thanks, Byz. :)

1:07 am

Bash

I'm lucky to ever get half-done.

1:07 am

kimmtoats

me too Bash

1:08 am

grannyrose

ugh... stuck in a deep and meaningful way. anyone have all the a's? missing one from each a in the 4th column. oh... cooee and g'day from me...

1:08 am

flosey

but I do depend on Lickety!

1:08 am

Bash

And with that...I must go to bed. Work tomorrow...hope to see you all around this weekend. :) Night!

1:08 am

kimmtoats

I think I have finished 3 grids

1:08 am

Bash

adam

1:08 am

Bash

1:09 am

TheByzantine

Pleased meet you, Bash.

1:10 am

anike

Ditto rose

1:11 am

anike

adam

1:11 am

anike

oops

1:11 am

grannyrose

prolly missing the same ones anike. are you and yours safe where you are? saw about the fires south of perth.

1:12 am

kimmtoats

so...is Lickety a real person?

1:12 am

anike

We are quite a distance from the fires rose but I feel sad for the people down that way. It's not far from where my dad's family farmed many years ago.

1:14 am

grannyrose

lol... yes kim. he is very real and a lovely person. he does have a lot of community obligations.

1:14 am

flosey

yes he is Kimm and sadly missed lately, didn't someone say he has been ill ?

1:15 am

grannyrose

like me with the poor loves down at lorne and wye river. it's heart-breaking seeing all the damage done.

1:15 am

flosey

hope he isn't in the fire area rose and anike are speaking about

1:16 am

grannyrose

no flosey. he is in new south wales. i live in voctoria and anike is in western australia.

1:16 am

grannyrose

ugh victoria

1:16 am

kimmtoats

How does he get the clues so quickly(when he does)?

1:16 am

flosey

ah, thanks Rose

1:17 am

anike

It certainly is rose. As you know rose, we drive across to Vic. often and at this time of year we often seem to be dodging fire zones.. and the fact that so many are started deliberately makes me irate.

1:17 am

grannyrose

kim, he wrote the program which solves the grid as quick as a wink

1:19 am

kimmtoats

aha! Okay, I was thinking he had something like that.

1:19 am

grannyrose

whoot have the d's. want me to list?

1:20 am

flosey

yes please, Rose

1:20 am

kimmtoats

VolleymomDee

hope he is okay

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

hi flosey!

1:33 am

VolleymomDee

our bus garage burned this morning - damage estimate about $1 million. Was reading the articles that have been posted. Also have a friend who is in Emergency Room right now with her hubby, so we have been messaging one another, and I lost track of the time.

1:35 am

flosey

I bet it means a lot to her to hear from you as she is waiting

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

Was "meant to be", I think. As I was reading the bus article, her message about being in ER popped up, so I answered her immediately. She'll look at her watch and think I am crazy. Hope the notes helped... her hubby just had shoulder surgery, and all of a sudden he is now having lightheadedness ...

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

I know she is frightened / anxious... I hate those ER trips!

1:40 am

kimmtoats

No fun having a sick husband. Mine just had 4 heart bypasses.

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

aww, kimm! How is he doing now?

1:42 am

kimmtoats

He is on the mend but men are such bad patients!

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

So very true!

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

I am wondering if his shoulder surgery, rehab, and pain meds have done something goofy to his blood pressure.

1:43 am

rururocks

Not!!

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

except for ru, and of course he is perfect :)

1:44 am

grannyrose

have the m's. dee you want me to wait a bit?

1:44 am

kimmtoats

the month before that my 24 yo son had necrotising fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria) in his leg! he damn near dies, he was so sick.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

not at all, rose, feel free to list. I'll just keep checking the chog.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

So very thankful, he didn't kimm. That is a nasty situation.

1:45 am

kimmtoats

It was a freakin nightmare!

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

So glad his treatment worked for him!

2:41 am

dcseain

helenary, try emptying your cache then reloading the page.

2:42 am

helenary

sorry..what does emptying cache mean?? what is a cache?

2:43 am

dcseain

cache is the browser's memory. which browser on which operating system are you babbling ?

2:44 am

kimmtoats

2:45 am

helenary

i am on Apple/macair..does that make sense? thx dc

2:45 am

dcseain

yes. using Safari or Firefox or Chrome?

2:45 am

helenary

Safari!

2:46 am

dcseain

ok. then: Click Safari in the upper left hand side of your screen. In the menu that appears, click Preferences.
In the window that appears, click the Privacy tab. Click the button Remove All Website Data....
Click Remove Now in the pop up window that appears.

2:47 am

dcseain

this will clear a lot of website data. You'll need to reenter passwords and what when going to sites most likely.

2:50 am

helenary

thank dc ..have followed your instructions..and perfecto..am back on board..thats a first for me!!!

2:50 am

dcseain

Perfect size grid, for a change

3:09 am

dcseain

morning, ruby. nice to see you here.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

hello (seain), it is nice to see you, too (t thhis odd hour for you)

3:11 am

dcseain

yes, yes it is. Since my recent horrible GI thing, my sleep has been weird.

3:11 am

flosey

hello Ruby, I'm off to try to sleep

3:11 am

dcseain

i think it'll take a while to settle back to normal.

3:11 am

dcseain

sleep well, flo

I'm sorry; I didn't know, even though I "see" you every night.

3:12 am

3:13 am

rubyfoo

hi and bye, flosey

3:13 am

dcseain

i'm better enough today that i started cleaning and cooking again. :)

3:14 am

rubyfoo

cookingis good, cleaning, NOT

3:14 am

rubyfoo

3:14 am

rubyfoo

sorry, will be quiet now

3:20 am

na like that too, and plural

3:46 am

sprite

good morning all

3:47 am

rubyfoo

((sprite))

3:47 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* good morning! How are you today?

3:49 am

rubyfoo

no pain! and only 20 mg of morphine

3:49 am

sprite

oh wow, that is wonderful!

3:50 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, even with the drugs, I had pain (not severe, but still...); all day

3:50 am

sprite

then today is a huge improvement

3:52 am

rubyfoo

itmay have something to do with the weather because yesterday, it rained all day

3:53 am

sprite

makes sense. Rain sucks for me too.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

today, it's less cold, just grey and damp

3:53 am

sprite

it is sunny here, cold with blue sky. My kind of winter weather.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I imagine that your weather is similar to ours

3:54 am

sprite

usually it is, but not today

3:54 am

rubyfoo

no, I guess not, haven't seen sun in a while

3:55 am

rubyfoo

stirs

3:55 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

3:55 am

sprite

yesterday was rain all day. It is the netherlands, you know... if you don't like the weather, just wait a couple of minutes, it will change.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

at least it hasn't been very cold, except in the house, but once the fire is going, it's liveable

3:58 am

rubyfoo

tain

3:58 am

sprite

with my quick weightloss, I get easily cold. Am wearing layers on layers on layers, lol.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I just can't chat; I'll blame it on the stupid-making dr_ugs

4:00 am

sprite

yeah, that, and the layout of this site. I have told drG from the very start. The cursor should jump back to the Add Word box after entering a chat post.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

you are kind, but I feel like a dope when I do that

4:01 am

sprite

or even better, it should be as the Babble Expert that Lickety made. Automatic programming... add a single word and it goes to the list, write more words (use the spacebar) and it goes to the chat box

4:01 am

sprite

well, you are, lolollllll. Doped up on morphine!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I still don't list, ergo, I don't finish, either

4:02 am

sprite

I usually don't list, and I do finish :P

4:02 am

rubyfoo

but it's a pleasure, just seeing friends

4:03 am

rubyfoo

you're a better man than I, gunga din! LOL

4:03 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:03 am

rubyfoo

must go and try to accomplish something

4:03 am

rubyfoo

see you later

4:04 am

sprite

have a lovely day, ruby. Don't overdo stuff while not hurting.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Phantom : ramadan.

4:06 am

sprite

right you are, padawan :D
*hugs zooz* How are you today?

4:06 am

zoozzoom

lol Hello, Sprite. All well here..you?

4:07 am

sprite

am fine. Could use some more undisturbed sleep, but that will come in time.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

I was up til 4am the other night so now how you feel :-(

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Plus I had acid reflux which did not help.

4:08 am

sprite

ugh that is really nasty. I hope things are better now.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Hope you get to sleep better when night comes round again though.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Yeah I took an omeprazole last night so that helped a bit.

4:10 am

sprite

yeah me too. The sleeping goes ok, but it's the dreaming at the moment. Curtesy of a friend with issues and the fireworks of NY. It will pass.

4:10 am

sprite

ah, I have almost the same stuff, pantaprazole or something like that. It is for protection of the stomach.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Yeah it is horrible how just a little thing can play on our minds for days. Well it does for me.

4:11 am

sprite

I am better with the little things nowadays. Took long years of therapy, but I got most of it sorted. The bigger things though... they still hit hard.

4:12 am

zoozzoom

Not sure what these tablets do. I think they disolve in the stomach then the contents does not get effected by the acid and kind of float to the top and stop the acid from escaping. Does that make any sense?

4:13 am

sprite

could be. I know it is prescribed here when you take medication that is bad for the stomach. It is supposed to protect the stomach.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Yeah not for me. If someone puts me down I seem fine at the time and brush it off. it is when I go to sleep that my mind then starts to replay the scene and then over dramatizes everything!

4:15 am

zoozzoom

I tend to over think things that is my problem.

4:15 am

sprite

oh I know how that works! Used to be the same for me. It can take on a life of its own that way.

4:16 am

zoozzoom

This grid seems a lot kinder than yesterdays grid. i struggled so so much with yesterdays one lol

4:17 am

sprite

it was kind of tight, yes

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Congrats for when you fiish, Spritey, I need to go for now.

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Fisih even.

4:24 am

sprite

have a lovely day, zooz *hugs*

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Finish..geez.

4:24 am

zoozzoom

You too *hugs* back.

4:24 am

sprite

*grins* I knew what you meant, no worries

4:29 am

sprite

fireflies. Bye all.

5:35 am

5:47 am

MLFAN17

5:47 am

sukee

Hi Ruby

5:47 am

rubyfoo

freezing and my housekeeper is driving me insane

5:47 am

Lizlin

WTG Sukee

5:47 am

Lizlin

Not good.

5:48 am

rubyfoo

The one good thing is that she always up, even on her days off, to light the fire and walk the dogs

5:48 am

Lizlin

You don't need the irritation, Ruby.

5:49 am

Lizlin

Can you just immerse yourself in the computer, or pretend to sleep or read or something when she's getting to you?

5:49 am

rubyfoo

However, she does a bare minimum of cleaning, is always on her cell phone and today, mopped the floors with somethding stinky

5:49 am

MLFAN17

good to have a fire when cold:)

No ma'am, we here at Babble HQ have no sense of humor that we are aware of.

Oh, so it was just my comment that was called into question. Right.

7:43 pm

It just seemed snarky Molly. Sorry if I misinterpreted.

I really don't get it. I follow along after something Ru said and my comment is snarky and his comment is fine. But I should get it because that is par for the course here.

I have had the same babble icon for 10 years. Feeling this is the year of getting out of the box. The artist is Peter Max. Happy New Year Babblers

I had a cat named Peter Max. I loved his art and his name was fun.

My older sister was a huge Peter Max fan. I still have an ashtray of his design she gave me. It is roughly the size of a turkey platter :-)

I especially loved the way he drew cats. An ashtray the size of a turkey platter appeals to me too in an odd way. I hope nobody let it fill up.
