10:12 am

Mary

Hi Scrabbler, question for all, how long does it take to finish? Seems all I do is sit on this computer too much.

10:14 am

Scrabbler

It depends on the size and difficulty of the grid, Mary. I usually don't finish grids, unless they are under 100 words.

10:14 am

gramma

With my personality, I have to finish. It's just not an option.

10:16 am

Mary

I try to finish when I have the time. And when I wake up in the middle of the night I get on the computer and start the new grid. I think I'm just spending too much time.

10:18 am

Scrabbler

When I started Babble 10 years ago I compulsively felt the need to finish and stayed up til midnight, and begged for clues. Now I try to pass halfway and find the big words. Babble is just for fun, not for stress.

10:19 am

Scrabbler

The OCD behavior lasted maybe 2 yrs, then I recovered.

10:19 am

TheByzantine

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

10:19 am

TheByzantine

so finishers have a mental disorder?

10:20 am

gramma

Yes we do.

10:20 am

gramma

It's known as babblemania.

10:20 am

TheByzantine

maybe you do I am insulted

10:20 am

Mary

Agree, we do.

10:21 am

Scrabbler

No, we all decide how we want to spend our time. For me, finishing the grid was a compulsion and an excessive use of time. It was not healthy.

10:21 am

Mary

But do you all spend hours (3 - 4 hours)?

10:21 am

TheByzantine

No need to stereotype others

10:22 am

gramma

Don't be insulted, Byz. Just remember admitting you have a problem is the 1st step toward recovery or just acceptance.

10:22 am

TheByzantine

and you know nothing about me

10:22 am

TheByzantine

you have the problem don't make it mine

10:23 am

gramma

Obviously and you don't know enough about me to know I'm kidding.

10:23 am

Scrabbler

There are 168 hours in a week. We each decide how to use that time.

10:23 am

Mary

Sorry I started all this.

10:23 am

swmbo

OMG is this getting confrontational over something so minor?

10:23 am

TheByzantine

and you spend part of those hours stereotyping others

10:24 am

swmbo

Mary, I am like Scrabbler. I used to HAVE to finsih. Now I just do as much as time allows me and that is good.

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Mary, you decide how long you want to be here. You decide if you want to finish grids or not. This is a word game.

10:24 am

gramma

Byz, please just take a breath and let this go. It was all in good fun.

10:25 am

TheByzantine

Huh?

10:25 am

swmbo

Someone needs to lighten up. Oh dear, I hope I didn't stereotype someone as a party pooper. No, not me.

10:26 am

saanichcat

good morning everyone. What's the fuss? It's a great game; play as you pleae

10:27 am

gramma

Don't tell me what to do! jk

10:28 am

TheByzantine

The OCD behavior lasted maybe 2 yrs, then I recovered.

10:28 am

TheByzantine

good fun

10:29 am

gramma

Okay now I feel peace has been restored.

10:29 am

swmbo

She was talking about HERSELF. What is your problem?

10:30 am

gramma

swmbo, I don't understand

10:30 am

TheByzantine

if you cannot figure it out, fine

10:30 am

TheByzantine

read the rest

10:31 am

TheByzantine

she who must be obeyed hahahahaha

10:31 am

gramma

Are you pulling my leg. Let's recap. I was joking and Byz took offence. I tried to smooth it over and now I feel like I'm being attacked

10:31 am

swmbo

Oh my, this all started with Scrabbler describing her own behavior as OCD. That morphed into people being sterotyped here. A bit of a picky jump

10:32 am

TheByzantine

never talked to you I was responding to scrabbler

10:32 am

TheByzantine

she was talking about finishers

10:32 am

swmbo

No gramma you are not being attacked. And yes, my online name is shewhomustbeobeyed. Problem?

10:33 am

TheByzantine

you have been attacking me just rather amusing

10:33 am

swmbo

that should have been "Problem TheByzantine?"

10:34 am

swmbo

not attacking you, just pointing out your extreme nit picking.

10:35 am

TheByzantine

your opinion

10:35 am

gramma

Byz, I apologize if you misunderstood my humor. I never meant to piss you off.

10:35 am

TheByzantine

this has nothing to do with you

10:35 am

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy!

10:51 am

10:51 am

crosshair

Scrabby!

10:52 am

Scrabbler

We need a sarcasm font.

10:52 am

crosshair

Good thing to hit Dr. G up about ;)

10:55 am

Scrabbler

Communication in writing, especially in a chatlog, is limited because the tone is difficult to determine. A sarcasm font would truly be helpful.

10:57 am

Scrabbler

All done here at the clinic. Maybe I will return here later. Enjoy the day.

10:57 am

swmbo

Or people could have tolerance as their default response and not always assume someone is trying to insult them

10:58 am

Scrabbler

Bye swmbo!

10:59 am

gramma

Finished!

11:00 am

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

a new yawker who does not know that word? :P

6:25 pm

Dorens

owl, I have heard it but always thought it was the basest of slang. actually only have heard the gerund form, now that I think of it.

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, it is the equivalent to darn, as far as i understand

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

how are you?

6:27 pm

means what the slang suggests....i looked it up...

6:28 pm

Dorens

or you want the part about how my cat is at the vet's for two night having a glucose curve done (very expensive) and needs to go on insulin now, after two years of managing the diabetes by pills. And I am not the type to shoot anyone or anything up

6:28 pm

penquis

yw...

6:28 pm

penquis

bummer, dorens...

6:29 pm

Dorens

and I am supposed to schedule shoulder surgery for me

6:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my, i am sorry to hear that. is the cat fairly tolerant and laid back?

6:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh no! i thought it was healing on its own?

6:29 pm

Dorens

he's a sweetheart and a lover, but i can't even clip his claws

6:30 pm

Dorens

i thought it was too. but it came back again in August and we've tried everything. I just don't like to chat about it.

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

and would the shots be in his scruff?

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i understand. a rotten break.

6:31 pm

Dorens

and I just got a bill from the State for back taxes that my accountant (former accountant) screwed up. So I owe them a bunch.

6:31 pm

Dorens

i'll find out tomorrow when I pick him up and the vet teaches me what I need to know (and he is sure I'll manage, which I am not)

6:32 pm

Dorens

and everytime I visit the kids in Baltimore now (a monthly trip) I'll have to add on $75 for someone to come give him his shots.

6:32 pm

Dorens

Not a good day. Aren't you glad you asked??(sarcastic font)

6:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

geez oh man. i don't mind chatting, in fact i would love to, sometime.

6:32 pm

Dorens

thanks

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

i want to go!

6:36 pm

Dorens

it's phenomenal. truly

6:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

what are the chances for the lottery? or the ticket kiosk?

6:37 pm

Dorens

friend of mine told me about it before it came to Broadway and I thought it sounded too weird so I passed. then read a lot about it and I got tickets back in July while it was still in previews on Broadway. I enter the lottery (online) almost every day hoping. No to the kiosk

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

you would just pick up and go if you won?

6:38 pm

Dorens

in a heartbeat! I'd cancel dinner plans. I have two friends who are dying to go . on call if it ever happens (t won't)

6:38 pm

Dorens

i tell you i am truly obsessed. My daughter worries about my mental health

6:39 pm

Dorens

I assume you saw the grammy's last night?

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck. is there much time to go? i would enter and take you.

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes!

6:40 pm

Dorens

no not really.. They let you know at 4 pm. THat would be too late for you, right?

6:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, isn't there a matinee lottery? i

6:40 pm

Dorens

go to youtube and listen to the entire album.

6:41 pm

Dorens

yes, but you don't hear about that one until 11. Trust me, I really do this!

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

i would enter and give them to you, but i think you would need to show my id

6:42 pm

Dorens

you do need to show id. The online lottery asks for your birthdate, I'm sure there's now way to get around that. but thanks.
I'm listening to it now. amazing.

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

about your cat, if i could learn to give my mother shots, i am sure you will learn for the cat

6:43 pm

Dorens

I'm sure I will. just not thrilled about it, but we do what we have to do, right?

6:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

exactly. hope to catch up with you someday. I am looking for a trip to book, perhaps europe in early september, but would love someplace warm right now

6:46 pm

welki

hi there

6:46 pm

Dorens

hey welki

6:46 pm

penquis

hi..

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi welk!

6:47 pm

welki

you'll do fine, doren - it's injectable just under the skin and doesn't hurt much. i had to give a cat injections (not insulin) years ago and i didn't think i could do it either.

like you said, we do what we have to do

6:48 pm

Dorens

thanks welki. I learn tomorrow. probably will be comfortable by next week.

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

how old is the cat now?

6:49 pm

welki

will you have to test her blood, too? that could be tricky - i have no idea how you'd know if you have to adjust the amound she gets

6:49 pm

Dorens

nearly 14

6:49 pm

welki

(sheesh - 19 left and i'm about to give up)

6:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, a young senior!

6:49 pm

Dorens

i read online that you prick the ear the way people prick fingertips. I'll find out everything tomorrow. I hope.

6:50 pm

Dorens

young senior? haha. like us

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, now that is a bit dicey, for me.

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need to finish so i can eat my birthday cupcake.

6:50 pm

Dorens

how many left? (today's not your birthday, is it?)

6:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, it was earlier. i need 21. time to list

6:52 pm

welki

i don't think there is a list

6:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

hence the icon, but no one noticed except fan. there is a list in dee's profile

6:54 pm

Dorens

no list. I'm down to 36 and I probably don't have what you need but i'll help if i can

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

just retrieved one from dee

6:56 pm

penquis

molly also has a list...

6:57 pm

welki

i looked at it too - but guess what. apple must have done away with sticky notes, my favorite way to list with no list

6:57 pm

welki

unless they're hiding somewhere in applications

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, so it stays open all the time?

6:59 pm

Dorens

i've never figured out a good way to do it. google docs sometimes, but still. so tedious compared to.....

6:59 pm

Douglas

a Babblet-rich grid. Is that a good thing?

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i like excel for that

6:59 pm

welki

i'd create a sticky note and paste the list there. when the grid was done, i'd just delete it. it was the best for resizing and placing it to the side of the grid

6:59 pm

Nef

hi again. We went to our local (& last for the season) farmers market & I bought a lovely bunch of parsnips! :-)

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi again,nef

7:00 pm

welki

hi nef - for roasting?

7:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

welk: i had a bday visitor with a gift. a shock

7:00 pm

Nef

I just had to fix some for supper; they are so good! :-)

7:00 pm

Dorens

i went to our local last sunday. they do the first sunday of each month throughout the winter

7:00 pm

welki

a good shock?

7:01 pm

Dorens

aren

7:01 pm

Dorens

t gifts good shock?

7:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

why, yes. ust showing up this time the night before is good

7:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, no, not what you may think

7:01 pm

Nef

Happy Belated Birthday, TO. I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to your icon earlier

7:01 pm

welki

ohhh - so "that" kind of gift! LOL

7:01 pm

welki

too late - no take backs :)

7:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

wa4 a minute, you lot :)

7:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, no, now i have put my foot in it. again.

7:03 pm

Dorens

i'm lost. a gift is a gift, unless it's "that" kind of gift, which I do not understand

7:03 pm

welki

dorens - they're in the applications folder!

7:03 pm

Dorens

good job!

7:04 pm

Dorens

<----has no idea how to look for the applications folder at this point. brain is long gone

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

why are sticky notes handy for this?

7:05 pm

Nef

Welki, I steamed the parsnips, then fried them in butter. That's DH's Grandmothers' way of fixing parsnips; and they are delicious. (And we very rarely fry anything; nor do we normally cook anything in butter; so it's a very rare treat

7:05 pm

welki

when you have a moment, click on the finder icon - click on Dorens' MacBook Air (or whatever you have) - and the application folder is there - and that's where the stickie note app is

7:06 pm

welki

they're handy because i'm lazy, owl - it's an easy way to create a list, so i can see what words i'm missing

7:06 pm

welki

i like parsnips. rutabagas, turnips, not so much.

7:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i've only had parsnips in soup. that sounds delicious, nef

7:07 pm

Dorens

damn i can't even find the finder icon

7:07 pm

welki

off to make supper - have a good night, everyone!

7:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, welk, ty for the notes

7:07 pm

Dorens

7:07 pm

welki

it's that smiling blue guy on the bottom left of your screen

7:08 pm

Nef

Dorens, find your Apple in the upper left corner.

7:08 pm

Dorens

oh yeah. :) thanks

7:08 pm

welki

i'll hang out until you get it, dorens - it's a salad and sandwich night

7:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just keep the profile with the list open, but you have to keep opening it up

7:09 pm

Nef

(I'm on a Mac computer, guess I didn't know that an airbag has a different icon for the finder)

7:09 pm

Dorens

I used to have it in my dock all the time... wondered where it went! I've never used it for the list but I can see the point. thanks a a bunch. enjoy the salad/sandwich

7:10 pm

welki

who you callin' an airbag? LOL

7:10 pm

Nef

Air Book, not airbag

7:10 pm

welki

it was on my dock on my macbook - the macbook air didn't have it - but now it does

7:10 pm

Nef

definitely not anyone here, welki! :-)

7:10 pm

welki

hey nef, you know, after all this time, i still have your icon saved, in case you lose it again :)

7:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need to change to mac

7:11 pm

Dorens

well i hope it stays around this time. but probly won't

7:11 pm

welki

you dragged it to the dock? it'll stay there

7:11 pm

welki

okay - g'night again

7:12 pm

Douglas

So jnana is in the dictionary, but gita isn't. Fine. What. Ev. Er.

7:12 pm

Dorens

clue for as7 please?

7:12 pm

welki

(i use mac and windows, both of them every day - i prefer the mac)

7:12 pm

Nef

THANKS, welki! I had toyed with the idea of changing my icon several times; but then remembered how confused I was because I couldn't find myself in chat; and how hard it was to remind my old icon. I think I'll just stay this way forever here (maybe I'm ageless in Babble! ;-)

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:13 pm

11:25 pm

Nef, it must be a winter wonderland out your window, eh?

11:25 pm

11:25 pm

Uneaixoise

sleep well, stid (dors bien!)

11:26 pm

Nef

Not so much, Une. We have snow; but haven't had much at all this winter. And it's been mild enough that it was melting today too

11:26 pm

Nef

Good Night stid! Take care!

11:27 pm

Uneaixoise

well, my daughter got her wish -- she's in Maine and it's pretty arctic right now LOL

11:27 pm

Nef

And it's also been too mild so that I've never gotten used to the cold & last week when the temp was around zero & below; I felt chilled to the bone.

11:28 pm

Uneaixoise

i take it back -- just checked -- it's melting there too -- she had 18 inches of the white stuff a few days ago!

11:28 pm

Nef

LOL!. I can't believe how much the East Coast has been hammered this winter!

11:29 pm

Uneaixoise

of course nothing can compare to LAST winter!

11:29 pm

Nef

True, -- but once again, we had a mild winter and the East Coast got the snow

11:30 pm

Nef

You got hit pretty hard last month for a bit, didn't you?

11:30 pm

Nef

Une, what kind of dog is in your icon?

11:31 pm

Uneaixoise

my mixed sweetie, Shelby, who's 16 and fading a bit every day . . .

11:32 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, last month we got a big snow and COLD temps but at least it went straight to snow from rain with no ice in between -- that's what I do NOT enjoy LOL

11:32 pm

Uneaixoise

it was a beautiful snow . . .

11:34 pm

Nef

I like snow & cold; but I need to be eased into it. Most of December (that I remember, anyway) was warm, we didn't have snow for Christmas; it came 2 days later.

11:35 pm

Uneaixoise

FW!

11:35 pm

Nef

How big is Shelby? (My daughter has a dog now that adopted her. She woke up one day & this starving dog was in her fenced in yard; she's a cross between a German Shepherd & ???

11:35 pm

Uneaixoise

Xmas was nuts -- it was rainy all week and in the 70s -- then wintr hit the following week :-)

11:36 pm

Nef

YAY, Uneaixoise!! WTG!!!

11:36 pm

Uneaixoise

Shelby is 27 lbs

11:36 pm

Nef

Anyway, this dog is 76 lbs and HUGE; 2 years old and a very sweet dog.

11:37 pm

Uneaixoise

like your daughter's dog, Shelby is part shepherd and part ??? -- I just tell people she's a generic brown and black dog -- lots of them out and about LOL

11:37 pm

Uneaixoise

76 lbs -- wow!

11:37 pm

Uneaixoise

Ok, I'm off -- good to chat with you, Nef :-)

11:38 pm

Nef

Well, Shelby's face is very similar to Whitney's; that's why I'm asking. But your Shelby is way too small to be the kind of dog that Whitney is!

11:38 pm

Nef

Bye Une. Sleep well!
