Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite. Hope things have calmed a bit for you.

3:15 am

sprite

still hectic but at least son is behaving again, with full apologies for his dickish behaviour. How are you and your beloved?

3:15 am

grannyrose

and back in ti4 to hug my sprite. good morning darling.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Fine but exhausted. Glad life's getting back to normal again.

3:16 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* It was more than a little hectic for you too :) Glad things are calmer now.

3:16 am

Lizlin

Stupid boy! Glad he apologised but it probably is time he started to think about moving out!

3:16 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend :) Good evening. How was your day?

3:16 am

Lizlin

It always is a very busy time for us.

3:16 am

sprite

it sure is, Liz. But if I can prevent it from being a forced moving out, I will.

3:17 am

grannyrose

not too bad, thanx. just church and then sitting quietly for the rest.and your night and yesterday?

3:17 am

Lizlin

Good mum!

3:18 am

sprite

one more night, rose... almost there. I am mwah... not sleeping too well, which isn't strange after the fight stress. And cold sores over half of my mouth, ughhhh.

3:18 am

sprite

thanks Liz... I try to be! But man, it is a tough battle.

3:21 am

grannyrose

poor girl! such a painful condition.... cold sores. just about everything hurts.

3:21 am

sprite

it is! Nothing serious, but jeezzz it is irritating and painful. Usually I have just one spot. Now, it is half my mouth. Blech.

3:21 am

grannyrose

hey sprite!! thank your lucky stars you didn't end up with THREE boys. you need the hide of a rhino.

3:22 am

sprite

true, dat. I prefer my girl when it comes to teenager nastiness.

3:31 am

sprite

temin g

3:31 am

sprite

sorry

3:33 am

Lizlin

Stuck here with 80 to go! I'll be back later to list! Hugs to you both.

3:33 am

Lizlin

Feel better soon, Sprite and good luck for tomorrow, Rose.

3:34 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Have a lovely evening, and sleep well later on :)

3:37 am

sprite

you still with me, rose? Or sneaked away to get into your jammies?

3:38 am

sprite

or...

3:38 am

sprite

it might have been a squirrel, of course

3:38 am

sprite

*waiting for rose to deny it*

3:39 am

grannyrose

lots of acorns and chestnuts around here... lolll. sorry honey. slipped away to order our diet lunches for next week.

3:39 am

sprite

:D *luvsu*

3:40 am

grannyrose

*luvsyaback* and ya front...xoxox

3:40 am

sprite

hehehe :D

3:42 am

sprite

how late are you due tomorrow?

3:44 am

grannyrose

i have to leave home about 7:30am, will be home the next day about 11am.

3:45 am

sprite

a long stretch, but it will be worth it. Is Don staying with you all the time?

3:46 am

grannyrose

no, he comes home about 9am tomorrow, then comes back in with pizza for our dinner about 6pm. because the drugs deaden my sense of taste i have to have something very strong flavoured.

3:47 am

grannyrose

the hospital food is too bland. it is great food but i cannot taste it.

3:48 am

sprite

oh, nice... good excuse to have pizza :D

3:49 am

grannyrose

oh yeah....

3:52 am

sprite

coffee... coffee is GOOD....

3:53 am

grannyrose

oh, and don's dinner out for his birthday?? it was amazing. we started with a small garlic pizza... yum yum yum. then a chickendish served on mashed potato. do you know how long it is since i had mashed potato?? and to follow we shared a large serve of tiramisu and a champagne cocktail.

3:53 am

Farruska

hi all, almost 3 years alfter seing familiar faces here :-)

3:54 am

sprite

oh wow rose! Sounds delish! Did he enjoy his birthday? Did his kids/sister etc spoil him?

3:54 am

sprite

hey Farruska :)

3:54 am

grannyrose

wow!! farruska...where you bin honey?

3:55 am

grannyrose

his sister hasn't been yet. only one of his kids remembered on the day, to call him.

3:55 am

Farruska

Hey Sprite

3:55 am

Farruska

Hey Grannyrose, just life :-) moved countries again

3:55 am

grannyrose

*giggle* as you do...

3:56 am

sprite

they are asses, rose. Jeezzz.

3:56 am

sprite

oh wow, Farruska.

3:57 am

mattygroves

Morning all! May I have a few stats please? The lone O in the first column, the lone I in the bottom left corner and the pair of Ns in the fourth column, third row?

3:57 am

sprite

but but but... well ok I forgot, but things were a little hectic with the boyo and all :(

3:57 am

sprite

hiya matty :D *hug*

3:57 am

sprite

how is the cold?

3:58 am

grannyrose

on7/32

3:58 am

mattygroves

Not too hard - I was up every hour with coughing - my OH bailed and went to the floor of the living room (as my daughter is making a flying visit)

3:58 am

grannyrose

it7/40

3:58 am

sprite

it7/40 gerund for the bottom left corner

3:58 am

sprite

oh dear... nasty cold, matty :(

3:59 am

mattygroves

Got that pesky lower left corner one

3:59 am

grannyrose

ni8/40, 9/54

3:59 am

mattygroves

Mind you, Sprite, I don't do myself any favours as I am a smoker

3:59 am

sprite

yeah that does not help with a cold, I guess. Still... nasty :(

4:00 am

grannyrose

no lecture from me, matty.

4:00 am

mattygroves

What's annoying is the dirty look I get from my daughter every time I cough as if the main issue with the coughing is the annoyance to HER factor

4:01 am

sprite

that is really annoying. Maybe you should suggest you changing places. She coughing and you giving her hell every time she does.

4:05 am

mattygroves

Yeh. Still, it's only the one day - she's off on her social whirlwind today - once everyone else is out of bed (she and Jeff are still in the land of nod)

4:05 am

sprite

she doesn't sound very social, matty :(

4:06 am

mattygroves

Can I have the gentlest of nudges for that ni8-9 combo

4:06 am

sprite

you can COUNT on it, matty

4:06 am

mattygroves

She's a real mix - she is often charming and funny but has some selfish, somewhat entitled quirks (perhaps that's her age)

4:06 am

grannyrose

number after 18

4:06 am

sprite

what is her age, matty?

4:07 am

mattygroves

God I feel stupid. She'll be 25 next month

4:07 am

sprite

hell rose, that is not gentle, lol!

4:07 am

mattygroves

I had the two words that make up that word and completely missed the existence of that number.

4:07 am

grannyrose

25, and she is still home? pack her bags for her.

4:07 am

sprite

she should be over the adolescent turbulence then, I think... time for her to social up :)

4:08 am

mattygroves

She's not - she lives in Birmingham - she's just visiting, both me but mostly friends

4:08 am

mattygroves

She arrived last night - she's heading out today sometimes

4:08 am

sprite

actually, I have a theory why words like ni8/9 are hard to spot. We automatically think: long word = hard word. So we don't realise it might be a very normal simple world.

4:08 am

sprite

word*

4:09 am

grannyrose

and when does she leave? ah, good, you answered before i asked.

4:09 am

mattygroves

That theory makes sense :)

4:09 am

sprite

:D

4:09 am

mattygroves

She's a good kid mostly. but just has annoying quirks

4:09 am

grannyrose

next ti4, tell her you will be out of the country and someone is renting the house.

4:10 am

mattygroves

Like the rest of the human race, I guess - it's just she knows what buttons to push

4:10 am

sprite

ah well, that goes for all of us, I think

4:11 am

sprite

finally! A word ending in the loch monster at last.

4:12 am

grannyrose

i think that's the only one sprite

4:12 am

mattygroves

What's it start with

4:12 am

sprite

evil

4:13 am

grannyrose

oh, no. one more. a me9

4:13 am

sprite

that is the one I found

4:14 am

grannyrose

ok, then you need me8

4:14 am

sprite

ah, there is the other. Thanks rose

4:15 am

sprite

both start ME

4:16 am

sprite

fireflies

4:17 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:17 am

grannyrose

i won't see you tomorrow, but will be here the day after. xoxox

4:17 am

sprite

sweetie, all the best tomorrow. I will think of you. Relax, lean back and think of England, grin.

4:18 am

grannyrose

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX honey

4:18 am

sprite

matty, feel better soon!
Farruska, nice seeing you again :)
And the rest of you, blessings.

4:24 am

Farruska

bye Sprite ! :-)

5:16 am

bichon

Welcome Faaruska, are you new to Babble

6:00 am

Farruska

hi Bichon, nope, not new :-) been Babbling since 2006 :-)

6:07 am

bichon

Hello and nice to meet you. You are from Prtugal I see. Mr. Bich will be there for a couple of days in Sept.

6:08 am

Farruska

Nice, he'll get good weather and less mess. Lisbon?

6:10 am

sukee

Good morning all. Is it just me or is the site slow loading today?

6:11 am

bichon

Probably one night in Lisbon and one in Oporto. He leads a hiking trip in NW Spain to Santiago

6:12 am

Farruska

ah doing the Santiago Camino, how nice Bichon

6:13 am

MollyL

I'm not having any trouble with the site.

6:13 am

bichon

Yes, this will be his second year doing it. This is for the Sierra Club

6:13 am

sukee

Maybe just my dumb computer. All internet seems slow today.

6:13 am

Farruska

working ok here Sukee

6:14 am

bichon

Me neither

6:14 am

MollyL

Try running virus and malware scans

6:14 am

sukee

Getting a new computer on Wednesday.

6:15 am

bichon

What kind are you gettin Sukee

6:16 am

sukee

I decided on the Lenovo Think Pad, it's on sale and I have read good reviews about it. It's all I need.

6:16 am

bichon

I have a Lenovo and I love it

6:16 am

bichon

Not cheap though

6:17 am

sukee

Well, this one is around $450 Canadian.

6:18 am

bichon

Amazon has its smallest one for $254, but in the $550 for the larger ones

6:18 am

sukee

I need a reliable laptop for my writing, can't risk this one dying completely, and it's on its way.

6:18 am

Farruska

I've turned apple over 10 years ago, never to look back. my 2009 mackbook still works as new

6:19 am

bichon

The only problem with Apple is you can't use Babble Expert

6:19 am

sukee

This is frustrating, I type a word and have to wait 30 second before it shows up.

6:20 am

Farruska

Bichon what is Babble Expert ?

6:21 am

bichon

In Expert there is a panel you can open and it lists all the words and their point value. It's a "cheat sheet"

6:21 am

Farruska

Bichon just checked it. well, I'm not choosing a computer because of a game cheat ;-)

6:22 am

MollyL

Expert is like Lickety's List, only it adds the words to the word list for you, instead of you having to paste them in

6:22 am

Farruska

I used another cheat sheet, webbased. can't remember what it was though

6:22 am

sukee

:)

6:22 am

Farruska

ah yes MollyL, that's it. Lickety's List, the one I use

6:22 am

sukee

BRB, going to reboot and see if that helps.

6:24 am

MollyL

Expert is an entire program, based on the list, but it won't load on Macs. Everyone has their computer preference. I had to use a Mac in one work experience and really didn't like it at all. Plus, they are a lot more expensive.

6:25 am

mattygroves

I (mostly) love my Mac, though not keen on the file structure and the inability to use Expert :)

6:26 am

lynxxx

You can still use the Bulk Add feature with Macs or Apples??

6:27 am

mattygroves

You can, yes

6:28 am

mattygroves

I tend to try to get through as much of the grid as I can without it then, if I'm still interested in finishing the grid, do the bulk add and then add individually words i find after that.

6:28 am

MollyL

You can use bulk/add as many times as you want.

6:34 am

mattygroves

I know. But that's how I roll :)

6:36 am

MollyL

I was pretty sure you did, Matty. That was more for anyone who might not want to take the time to add each word individually. : D

6:39 am

dan2bit

greetings from Heathrow Terminal 5!

6:41 am

bichon

Hi dan, what are you doing at Heathrow?

6:41 am

dan2bit

laying over - spent last week at a conference in Edinburgh, taking the family to Geneva for "holiday"

6:42 am

sukee

Back, and it seems better.

6:42 am

MollyL

Oh look, he has already picked up Britspeak. Cheerio 2Bit

6:42 am

bichon

Sounds yummy

6:43 am

sukee

Except, now my start menu is not showing properly :)

6:43 am

dan2bit

hope so. it is nice to have friends in distant lands :-)

6:43 am

MollyL

Sounds like you ordered the new computer just in time

6:44 am

sukee

Yes, I think so.

6:44 am

bichon

Babble withdrawal, yikes

6:44 am

sukee

Moved all my important files over to dropbox.

6:46 am

MollyL

I back up most things to a cloud server so I can access my files from whatever computer I am using.

7:15 am

sukee

I think part of my slowness problem is the fact Dropbox is synching :)

7:37 am

MollyL

Oh yeah, that will zap your computer strength

8:03 am

8:26 am

Uneaixoise

EMT said I was lucky to be driving a Honda -- and of course the airbag did its thing but MAN that thing slammed me hard!

8:26 am

MollyL

Une, I have had bruised ribs and the heating pad helped a lot. Along with the usual doses of whatever aspirin/iburpfen whatever that you take.

8:26 am

Uneaixoise

8:29 am

MollyL

Une, I had to drive to another town yesterday to go to the dentist and it is just plain scary what with all the bad drivers on the road

8:29 am

MollyL

I couldn't believe some of the idiot moves I saw on the road.

8:30 am

rururocks

Uh.. try sf drivers you guys

8:30 am

Uneaixoise

Haha, Une. An appropriate physiologic response.

8:35 am

Uneaixoise

8:36 am

Scrabbler

rururocks

hi welki

9:00 am

MLFAN17

and sometimes it leaves a bad taste in our mouths

9:01 am

JBsAnno

Actually, ruru, thought of you this morning, I was reading on Reddit about jokes that take a few seconds to get. Many were NSFW (I skip those, not funny to me), but some were gems.

9:01 am

rururocks

NSFW?

9:01 am

welki

heh - i had to look nsfw up on google :)

9:01 am

hurshy

not suitable for work

9:01 am

adult content ruru

9:02 am

MLFAN17

that too

9:02 am

rururocks

oh

9:02 am

JBsAnno

I did like this one: What's so unpleasant about being drunk?

9:02 am

rururocks

dunno ?

9:02 am

JBsAnno

Ask a glass of water.

9:03 am

rururocks

ohhhhh...

9:03 am

rururocks

<--goes for the NSFW jokes

9:03 am

JBsAnno

Figures!

9:03 am

MLFAN17

you are supposed to drink water in between each sip of alcohol so it lessens the hangover or effects from it

9:04 am

MollyL

Rats, I thought that was not suitable for weenies.

9:04 am

rururocks

the trick is to drink some water.. and not drink so much ML :D

9:05 am

MLFAN17

ruru I think its a balancing act isn't it?

9:05 am

rururocks

I don't like the feeling of being drunk

9:05 am

MLFAN17

for whatever the amount of alcohol you drink you drink about as much water

9:05 am

MLFAN17

agreed ruru

9:06 am

JBsAnno

And this one: Shoutout to the people who don't know what the opposite of in is.

9:06 am

rururocks

that one is better JB

9:06 am

JBsAnno

LOL, Molly, I'm trying to come up with a punny response involving hot dogs, and just not able to do it!

9:07 am

rururocks

well.. we'd all relish the joke jb

9:07 am

JBsAnno

TY, ruru, I copy and paste with the best of them!

oh ruru, you're on a roll

9:10 am

JBsAnno

I sausage silliness in the chat just now

9:11 am

MollyL

On a slightly different note, if I get one more business email that includes the phrase "reach out" I am going to go on an ass kicking tour.

9:13 am

rururocks

I don't get those

9:13 am

JBsAnno

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumblin' down
Darling, reach out, come on girl, reach on out for me
Reach out, reach out for me
I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through

9:13 am

MollyL

You are lucky. You muse email with people who don't latch onto the latest trendy phrase.

9:14 am

JBsAnno

Molly's different note!

9:14 am

MollyL

Or must email

9:14 am

HarryHood

is "reach out" the opposite of "lean in?"

9:14 am

rururocks

the emails I get are usually.. where's my order?

9:15 am

MollyL

Well, that is better than where's my order bitch?

9:30 am

MollyL

Okay, so while I was chopping up vegetables and beef for soup this morning, I took a slice out of my thumb (ouch). Now my smart ass kid is referring to it as "Thumb Soup". That apple did not fall far from the tree. : D

9:30 am

rururocks

ouch

9:30 am

rururocks

I hate cutting myself with knives

9:34 am

rururocks

I didn't know you can make soups digitally :D

9:37 am

MollyL

Someone once told me to never use dull knives. That if you do, you get used to them and then when you use a sharp one, you will cut yourself. He was right.

9:38 am

rururocks

it's worse to get a cut with a dull knife

9:38 am

rururocks

I keep my knives sharp

9:38 am

MollyL

And just to be clear, no portion of my thumb made it into the soup. : D

9:38 am

hello again

9:39 am

9:41 am

It was really just what I needed after an hour in the dentist chair yesterday. My body needed some more shock and awe.

9:44 am

9:46 am

9:48 am

MollyL

Well the thumb is bandaged and the soup is great. Hint for vegetable beef soup, use a half cup of V8 mixed in with your broth. It gives it a nice flavor.

9:49 am

rururocks

hmmm

9:49 am

rururocks

I add stewed tomatoes and herbs..same thing mostly isn't it?

9:53 am

aebmusica

it's better....less salt

9:54 am

rururocks

oh I am sure there's plenty of salt in stewed tomatoes too

9:57 am

aebmusica

not if you stew them your self with herbs.

9:58 am

rururocks

10:20 am

phaeton

10:22 am

Yes, lionhead is a newer breed. They have long fur around their head. They roar really loud too. No, I lied about the last part.

Hi Scrabs, did I tell you my daughter got a baby pig. She takes him to a pig Vet who will neuter him. She is on a pig use group

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Mini-Rex or mini-lop? I have a mini-Rex now and had a mini-lop that died less than 2 yrs ago.

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Yes, you told me, Bichon. Fascinating.

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Hi Farruska.

10:26 am

Mini-lops have floppy ears.

10:38 am

10:39 am

aebmusica

Molly...just don't put rabbit in your soup; people don't like hare in their soup.

10:39 am

MollyL

You are on the Left Coast Ru, get with the cartography

10:40 am

rururocks

rabbit in a soup.. oooh.. we're splitting hares here

10:40 am

MollyL

No rabbit in my soups. That is deep South cooking. Rabbit, nutria, gator. None of that for me thanks.

10:41 am

aebmusica

Then I'll be glad to try some!

10:42 am

rururocks

I love beef stew.. especially when it's cold

10:43 am

rururocks

it has to have potatoes and carrots though

10:44 am

MollyL

The only problem with my beef stew is that the gravy is so good it's ripe for dipping lots of French bread in.

10:44 am

rururocks

well.. there's nothing wrong with that

10:44 am

rururocks

French bread is good for you :D

10:45 am

aebmusica

mine is tasty too; made with red wine.

10:45 am

MollyL

Well, no but I can get carried away with the bread/gravy consumption

10:45 am

MollyL

There must be red wine and garlic in beef stew gravy.

10:46 am

12:20 pm

MollyL

I have found that rock music clues go over like a lead balloon here.

12:23 pm

bichon

That's me, old fart

12:49 pm

MollyL

It's kind of an elderly crowd here. Which is why rock music clues are seldom helpful.

1:02 pm

redshoes

Wait, I thought rock music is for old people. Like Hair Bands?

1:02 pm

;-P

1:04 pm

Molly, sounds like you should pair your beef stew with French Dips.

1:13 pm

MollyL

I don't think I said rock is for old people. It just seems like the mostly elders here don't get the rock music clues. I whole heartedly support rock music and think it is great food for the soul.

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I'm so old that I was around for the beginning, went to a rock'n'roll concert at the Brooklyn Paramount when I was 12

hi jes and judi

5:35 pm

jesdraggon

uhg. that happened here a couple of years ago. Most of them just stayed around the place and were caught the next day, except the half dozen that got killed on the road overnight. Totally a win for animal liberation.

5:35 pm

rururocks

high jinx with minx?

5:36 pm

Judi

Geesh. I didn't think anyone even made mink coats anymore. Poor little fur balls.

5:36 pm

High jinx with minx stinks.

nothing could be fur-ther from the truth jes

5:37 pm

I wonder if someone was trying to stoll them?

5:38 pm

Judi

Hope those responsible aren't able to weasel away from prosecution.

5:38 pm

Scrabbler

Nope, they would weasel their way out.

5:38 pm

rururocks

exactly.. hopefully they'll ferret them out

5:39 pm

bojazz

I hope Jimmy Fallon is trolling this...

5:39 pm

Scrabbler

Judi, we think alike. I returned for another pun-fest, I see.

5:39 pm

rururocks

5:39 pm

Judi

Otter be interesting to see who gets caught.

5:39 pm

Scrabbler

I was trying to use the word stoat but that is a tough word to use.

5:50 pm

rururocks

5:50 pm

Judi

When you scan her, she says Gin (and tonic)

5:51 pm

rururocks

5:52 pm

I should listen to Mom more carefully because I get strikes against me if I forget something.
