hurshy

you would not believe all the things kids do and say... good and bad... in just one week!!

12:30 am

m9f9l

???

12:31 am

hurshy

i'm student teaching

12:31 am

m9f9l

Ahhh.. what age?

12:31 am

hurshy

my host teacher was home with her sick toddler yesterday so i was the sub for the day too - 2nd grade

12:31 am

hurshy

one kid straight up lied to me about something specific, numerical, and easily fact-checkable

12:32 am

hurshy

it's probably trump's fault

12:32 am

m9f9l

ohh.. 7/8 year olds? Fun!

12:32 am

m9f9l

ha ha ha.

12:32 am

hurshy

yeah, mostly fun, but this one kid - only one who has no intrinsic motivation. usually at this age they have it.

12:33 am

m9f9l

They're the ones that need the most love.

12:33 am

hurshy

i was playing a math game with one of the kids today at recess because with it being so wet out there wasn't much to do outside and she loves math

12:34 am

m9f9l

Yes?

12:34 am

hurshy

so we're in the middle of this game and it's the longest round we've had while playing this game so far, and i point out how many ways she has to win possibly on her next turn and she goes, "i don't want to win!" and i said, "you don't want to win?! why not?" and she goes, "i don't want to win JUST YET!"

12:35 am

m9f9l

Aww. that's awesome.

12:35 am

hurshy

yeah, super cute.

12:36 am

hurshy

and then another one on the bad end, this other boy tried to keep the money his parents gave him to donate to the fundraiser this week for kids with leukemia

12:37 am

m9f9l

How'd you figure that out?

12:38 am

hurshy

well, first this other boy said "we found 3 coins outside, and matthew put two in his pocket but i put the other one in the box!" and i thought, ok, not generous but, whatever, found money. and then yesterday was the "quarters" day - you could always bring whatever but it was like, pennies monday, nickels tues, dimes weds, quarters thurs, $1 today

12:39 am

hurshy

and i saw him playing with several quarters at his desk so i was suspicious, after having heard that the other day

12:39 am

cybernan

stats for right hand c please?

12:39 am

hurshy

but it was a crazy day yesterday with being the sub and there was just a TON of special activities happening, so i didn't do anything

12:39 am

m9f9l

cr5

12:40 am

m9f9l

cr 5/12

12:40 am

cybernan

just found it ty

12:40 am

hurshy

and then TODAY the regular teacher was back and saw him with two bags of coins at his desk and asked him if his parents gave him that to put in the box and he wriggled verbally a bit but basically couldn't think of a plausible lie so she made him donate it.

12:41 am

m9f9l

32 left. I'm going to go to bed. Gotta get up early and drive...

12:41 am

hurshy

night m9!

12:42 am

m9f9l

Ah. interesting. How much were they exposed to just what the money was going to?

12:42 am

hurshy

they had been told at the beginning of the fundraiser, quite clearly.

12:43 am

m9f9l

I mean.. how much ABOUT the sickness?

12:43 am

hurshy

and it was only a week long. well, let me see, she had told them it was a cancer that is in the blood so it is all through your body so it's very very sick

12:44 am

hurshy

and with a "can you imagine being in the hospital all the time and ... " etc

12:44 am

m9f9l

Ah. Yeah, kids usually are very generous. He needs some special attention :-(

12:44 am

rururocks

2:07 am

*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend, how have you been?

2:10 am

grannyrose

i have been incredibly active without pain. did all the dishes today. folded and sorted wash from Thursday. finished putting away all the shopping from yesterday(which i actually did, walking around TWO supermarkets).

2:11 am

grannyrose

and you sweetie. how have your days and nights been?

2:11 am

sprite

oh my darling! You must be feeling like you finally are your old self again. Am so glad for you.

2:12 am

grannyrose

:-( need to lose a heap of weight...but it is starting to disappear.

2:13 am

sprite

crazy but good. Caya's musical was a huge success and meeting her friends was a bonus. Came home 1.30 am just to find Tim and his friends still awake and offering a great whisky to taste... so it was VERY late before I slept, lol. But worth it.

2:13 am

sprite

it will me4 away now that you can move around again, hun.

2:13 am

grannyrose

how is your weight loss going? and your sessions with Noud?

2:14 am

grannyrose

oh, my darling, what a great end to an incredibly great day.

2:14 am

sprite

will see Noud this week again. We are going strong still. Amazing progress in a short time. He is really good. Weight loss... haven't checked in ages.

2:15 am

grannyrose

okay, prolly not a good idea to be hopping on the scales .

2:16 am

grannyrose

please take care of you honey. be strong. resist the foods which hurt you, weight-wise.

2:17 am

sprite

yeah I hear ya. :)

2:18 am

grannyrose

besides... i want you to be able to munch on anything when i am with you. btw... don is soo looking forward to our visit.

2:19 am

sprite

oh I will be, sweetie. Don't worry. And that is great to hear! We are very much looking forward to it too. As soon as you know dates, let us know please.

2:19 am

grannyrose

have been thinking... could we vist with you for 7 days, then catch up again for 3 days when i am at ruby's.

2:19 am

sprite

sounds good to me

2:20 am

grannyrose

i have an 8 week infusion due on the 23rd May.

2:26 am

sprite

and what does that mean for your travel plans? Must be back before then? Or maybe it isn't smart to cut it so close, since you will not be able to enjoy traveling when very close to the infusion?

2:29 am

grannyrose

looking at the dates...but April is too soon for don's dr appointment.

2:29 am

sprite

maybe june?

2:33 am

grannyrose

nope, i am hoping to leave within a day or two of the infusion

2:34 am

sprite

well let me know as soon as you know... may is busy for Rob so we will have to do a lot of planning to make it all work

good morning/afternoon

6:19 am

Anniebrook

I still have yesterday's clues, how can I access today's clues. I see they are up but I did crtl anf F5 and the old clues stayed up

6:22 am

Glantarell

I just refreshed using the little arrow circle in my browser bar and they changed to today's

6:22 am

Glantarell

I use google chrome browser

6:23 am

Anniebrook

I use Expert. I wonder if Expert will work on google chrome

6:24 am

Glantarell

I don't have Expert, I just go the playbabble.com home page

6:24 am

Glantarell

What does Expert do?

6:25 am

MollyL

Annie I would try using another browser. Internet Exploder is a very unstable browser.

6:26 am

Anniebrook

Expert puts the words in exact order

6:26 am

Glantarell

Where would I get Expert? Saying that, my words are always in order.

6:27 am

MollyL

You can also use the regular Lickety page (link at the bottom of this page) and copy and paste your words into it using the BULK ADD feature.

6:28 am

Glantarell

That's what i do Molly

6:28 am

Anniebrook

On Expert I clicked Printable Clue--got a page that said clues for Satuday FEb 4 with yesterday's clues. Oh dear, I dont know how to copy and paste.

6:28 am

MollyL

You can download expert with this link. I don't use it.
http://tinyurl.com/asayuk8

6:29 am

Anniebrook

Will try google later. Yesterday I was able to get the right clues using ctrl and F5

6:30 am

Anniebrook

Molly, Can I download the http you gave me on google

6:30 am

MollyL

To copy: click your mouse in front of the first word in your word list. WHILE HOLDING THE MOUSE BUTTON DOWN, swipe your mouse over your entire list. It will turn blue. Then right click and select COPY.

6:31 am

MollyL

Yes, you can download Expert on Google chrome or Firefox.

6:32 am

Anniebrook

going to google now and will copy your instructions later.

6:33 am

MollyL

Then go to Lickety's list. Click the BULK ADD link at the top of the page. It will bounce you down to an ADD WORD box at the bottom. Click in that box, right click and select PASTE and all your words will be in the box. Then click the ADD BULK box and all your words will go in the list above. It is easier than these instructions make it look.

6:33 am

MollyL

Using Expert is easier because all your words automatically go in the list. However, I find Expert to be a very unstable program.

6:34 am

Glantarell

So now I have Expert, ty Molly. However, it takes the whole screen and I can't see other applications. Which may be a good thing as I can focus on the grid instead of getting distracted by other things

6:36 am

Anniebrook

I'm back. I was able to get today's clues up.

6:37 am

Anniebrook

Thanks Molly and Glant for your help

6:38 am

I am not fond of the at6/7 words. No matter how many times they are in grids, they never seem to stick in my memory.

7:00 am

Anniebrook

Molly thanks, I never see it unless it is mentioned

7:24 am

8:17 am

8:18 am

welki

i remember that from last year, pen - selections from all the restaurants

8:18 am

penquis

yes....chance to hit some more pricy places for reasonable amounts...

8:19 am

penquis

it's also a social thing for me...

8:19 am

MLFAN17

hi pen

8:19 am

MLFAN17

hi welk

8:19 am

penquis

hi mlf...

8:20 am

MLFAN17

do either of you have the g word?

8:20 am

welki

we have to go to a banquet tonight - it's an annual thing that i grudgingly (must) attend. but we'll have some fun - a little dancing

8:21 am

penquis

ah....cool....i don't dance at all.....probably why oneof my faves is Fred Astaire...

8:21 am

welki

yes, mlf - it's a whatchamacallit, a gadget gi 5/16

8:21 am

MLFAN17

I don't dance either pen

8:22 am

MLFAN17

ty welk

8:22 am

welki

haha - i'm no dancer either, but we try. a good excuse to hold on to each other in public :)

8:22 am

penquis

i have two left feet, even though i have been pretty good at sports and i play musical instruments...

8:23 am

penquis

good point, welki...

8:24 am

swmbo

Morning Babblers! -9C and not too windy here on the southern tip of Cape breton, which is normally very windy. How are things in other parts of the world?

8:24 am

penquis

hi...

8:24 am

MLFAN17

cold here in nc US

8:24 am

penquis

cold but nice here....15 F....

8:25 am

welki

-16C here and snowing

8:25 am

penquis

at least it's not windy today....often is here on the coast...

8:26 am

swmbo

are you on one of the coasts Welki? which coast are you on penquis?

8:26 am

Mubner

48 F here in Sun City, AZ

8:26 am

welki

hi swmbo - prairies. alberta

8:26 am

penquis

I am in midcoast Maine...

8:27 am

welki

(but i'm originally a brooklyn gal)

8:27 am

swmbo

ahhh, Maine. Always meant to visit.

8:27 am

penquis

probably why our temps today are similar....

8:27 am

swmbo

Welki I though you were coastal when you mentioned lobster LOL

8:27 am

penquis

i went to Cape Breton once many years ago....very nice place...

8:27 am

welki

i grew up near the sea - miss it very much.

8:28 am

penquis

she mentioned it because I have mentioned it in the past....

8:28 am

penquis

i have always thought that I would find it hard to live far from the ocean...

8:28 am

swmbo

yes, I like it even with the wind altho it would be nicer without LOL

8:28 am

welki

truth be told, pen, we were in boston during american thanksgiving and i had lobster rolls then :)

8:29 am

penquis

nice!...

8:29 am

welki

...and oysters, and clams, it was a feast!

8:29 am

swmbo

yes Welki when you are used to the ocean, you do miss it. I can see the Strait of Canso from my living room window and spend lots of time in the summer on the beach. Love the smell of the salt air.

8:29 am

swmbo

and seafood!!!

8:30 am

welki

it IS hard to leave far away from the ocean - you feel landlocked. it gets pathetic, missing the smell of low tide *lol*

8:31 am

penquis

i totally understand...

8:31 am

penquis

i do eat a lot of seafood...

8:31 am

swmbo

Can you see the Rockies where you are Welki? That would be a partial compensation. My son and his family live in Calgary and when I visit we always go up to Banff and Lake Louise, so lovely

8:31 am

welki

i dream about eating a lot of seafood :)

8:32 am

welki

swm, i was looking forward to coffee with you when you were here, but i guess you were busy with the kids

8:32 am

Anniebrook

speaking of oceans, I live near the Atlantic. Love going up on the boardwalk and watching the tides and smelling salt air.

8:33 am

welki

annie, i would go to the beach in winter, to do the same as you, without all the people there - just beautiful

8:34 am

swmbo

DARN!!! Yes! I didn't have ONE day off. I have to be truthful, freezing my a** off watching a three year old try to ski is not my idea of fun. They had every day filled with activities. i said to my son, don't you ever give the kids a day off where they can just PLAY at home? Well meaning but too many activites I think

8:34 am

penquis

i see it all the time....and my YMCA where I take an exercise class is actually right on the water...

8:35 am

Anniebrook

to a former brooklynite (hi welki). There was a place where you could get coffee on the pier in Coney Island. Nice place to watch the ocean out on the end of the pier.

8:35 am

Anniebrook

The pier is still there but the shack is gone.

8:35 am

welki

oh i get it, swm - i've said the same thing to my kids. how about a day off? let's see them play on their own! they've come around, and i'm grateful for that, it was like being in a marathon!

8:36 am

swmbo

And Welki I appologise for not at least calling you, sorry

8:36 am

welki

annie, i moved out here 20 years ago. i remember my father taking me to lundy's - i'd sit at the bar with him and eat oyster crackers. then we'd go to the dock and buy fish

8:37 am

welki

no worries, swm - i understand 100%

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

8:37 am

Anniebrook

Alas, Lundys is gone. Lots of changes in Sheepshead Bay.

8:37 am

welki

(lundy's probably closed way before i moved here - i was remembering being there with my dad as a kid)

8:38 am

welki

scrabbs!

8:38 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs

8:39 am

Scrabbler

A med school classmate was from Sheepshead Bay. Became an anesthesiologist AND she put me asleep for 2 of my operations AND she put my sister asleep for one of hers in the last 2 weeks. Small world.

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Joanne went to visit my sister a few days ago to confirm that she was related to me.

8:40 am

welki

getting smaller every day :)

8:40 am

Anniebrook

Small world, indeed.

8:44 am

swmbo

Funny you people talking about a wonky babble expert. I have never had any problems but this week, every day.

8:44 am

Mubner

Me too, swm,

8:44 am

penquis

same here....refreshing the list in Expert worked for me...

8:45 am

Mubner

I'm able to get to the clues but not the printable clues, so half a loaf is better than none.

8:45 am

Mubner

And I must Control F5 in order to get that far

8:45 am

swmbo

right now when I put a word inot the box, it shows up on the list but doesn't disappear from the box. I have to remove ir beofre putting in a new word. Not a huge thing, but weird

8:46 am

penquis

haven't had that problem....

8:46 am

penquis

haven't tried yet today...

8:47 am

Mubner

I'm a Mac user and had an overnight update, next morning the list wouldn't open

8:47 am

Scrabbler

penquis, my friend and me are probably coming to Acadia in Sept for a 6 day kayaking/hiking/biking trip with Road Scholar!

8:47 am

penquis

very cool!....it's a beautiful place...

8:47 am

welki

i use a mac, too, and haven't had a problem

8:48 am

penquis

the carriage trails are nice as well as the places to hike (though I am not a hiker)....

8:48 am

Scrabbler

It's a perfect trip for us.

8:48 am

Mubner

I'm just thankful I can get to the list

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Except an almost 12 hr drive so we may break it into 2 days and stop in western Mass.

8:49 am

penquis

yes....just be careful near the edges on the mountain.....people fall off the cliffs sometimes....

8:49 am

penquis

good idea to stop on the way.....

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Thanks for the warning.

8:51 am

penquis

my great nephew spent a lot of the summer there last year in an internship at MDI Labs....doing bio research....he's going back this summer before he starts college...

8:51 am

swmbo

All done. Anyone want any clues?

8:51 am

Scrabbler

MollyL

Men are often overconfident about their sexual prowess.

Wow Ru, you really can make the women groan. Lots.

10:57 am

rururocks

oh you got it aloy... lol

10:57 am

Aloyisius

shark must be mako bc maco doesn't work

10:58 am

rururocks

10:58 am

rururocks

it'd be a fluke if it was a maco

10:58 am

Aloyisius

ah so

10:59 am

MollyL

Maco is not a shark and cale is not a vegetable

10:59 am

rururocks

There's nothing like making women groan in the morning Molly :D.. with bad jokes

11:00 am

MollyL

If you make them groan the other way, they are putty in your hands. Watch Eddie Murphy's "Raw" for more of an explanation on that.

11:00 am

Aloyisius

just alt. facts

11:01 am

rururocks

well.. we'll see I guess.

11:03 am

MollyL

If Ru's icon changes to Ru in a purple leather suit, we will know he has "conquered".
: P

11:04 am

Marc Freeman

Who has a list?

11:05 am

Aloyisius

clear your temp files and Lickety will be there if you use Expert, Marc

11:06 am

Marc Freeman

I don't know how to do that? I think i am expert but not sure

11:06 am

rururocks

I call it sharing molly

11:07 am

MollyL

Marc, read over the chat. Lots of people are having trouble with Lickety Expert the past few days. Hopefully, someone who uses Expert will email Lickety about that.

11:08 am

rururocks

lickety has been dumped more times than the guys on the bachelorette

11:08 am

Aloyisius

I do it by running CCleaner

11:08 am

Marc Freeman

You used to have a list in your profile what happened

11:08 am

Marc Freeman

to technical for me.

11:09 am

rururocks

just click on lickety and refresh marc.. not too technical for anyone really

11:10 am

rururocks

molly doesn't post a list if lickety's list is up since that's what people prefer to use

11:11 am

Marc Freeman

that worked thanks

11:11 am

rururocks

I never could figure out why people would complain about dee's or Broll's lists since they weren't lickety, but at least there was a list that someone went to great effort to provide for everyone

11:13 am

Smdnjv

I emailed Lickety about the problems with Expert. So far I have not heard back from him. I have to use the computer refresh button to bring up current list.

11:14 am

Smdnjv

forgot to say that was two days ago, with a followup yesterday.

11:15 am

Aloyisius

ty, Smd

11:16 am

rururocks

gotta head out myself to buy some ramekins for some crÃ¨me brulees I'm making for tonight

11:40 am

MollyL

I agree about any list posted by anyone trying to help out when Lickety is not available. I don't understand why people complain about them.

11:41 am

MollyL

And I do copy and paste a list made by others when Lickety is not up. Lickety IS up today, you just have to refresh to get it.

12:25 pm

cybernan

hello everyone

12:34 pm

libarebel

Could someone pls. post a list? when I refresh I get Thursdays clues-- when I refresh that page I still get Thursday's clues...

12:35 pm

cybernan

did you right click on the actual list?

12:36 pm

libarebel

hmmm.. will try

12:36 pm

cybernan

select refresh from the drop down menu

12:37 pm

libarebel

didn't work...

12:37 pm

cybernan

are you using the edge browser that comes with win 10?

12:41 pm

libarebel

I have an old Mac G-5 and use Firefox for a browser

12:42 pm

cybernan

not familiar with apple products, but you probably need to clear your temporary files (saved website data cache)

12:43 pm

cybernan

or if you can access settings in the firefox browser maybe you can clear the cookies and cache there

12:44 pm

Q

Use command-shift-R to force reload.

12:45 pm

cybernan

rule of thumb for this grid --- add mr. gore

12:45 pm

zoozzoom

For firefox. On the right hand side top of the page there are three little black lines click that. ~Then click options then click advanced tab... look for the wording..chached web content. and to the right of that click clear now. Close fire fox and re-open. that should do it.

12:45 pm

joansiebone

Just click on Lickety's Babble Clues under Friends of Babble on this page. I never have a problem.

12:46 pm

cybernan

ty zoom -- didn't know how firefox works - edge works much the same way

12:47 pm

cybernan

although with so many having trouble, I think the problem is that expert isn't refreshing automatically

12:48 pm

zoozzoom

I think it is babble expert too. I do not use it :-)

12:49 pm

zoozzoom

I do what Joansibone does and click lickety on the bottom of this page.

12:49 pm

zoozzoom

e

12:50 pm

cybernan

I do use expert and the new list hasn't been coming up automatically -- I find that if I right click anywhere on a blank spot in the list and select refresh from the dropdown menu, that works

12:51 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!*

12:52 pm

zoozzoom

Congrats, Nan!

12:52 pm

cybernan

hagd everyone :-)

12:52 pm

Bye, Nan.

12:53 pm

Back later.

12:53 pm

off to work on a website transfer, then remodelling plans --- not watching much tv these days. I hope the Americans figure out how to remove trump from the white house soon.

12:53 pm

libarebel

there's no advanced option in that menu...

12:54 pm

zoozzoom

When you clicked options did you look on the left hand side?

12:54 pm

joansiebone

It is my understanding that Expert is not written for MACS

12:56 pm

hego

Expert is for Windows.
