9:33 am

moolingwa

You related to Benjamin?

9:33 am

Aloyisius

that was FMitch's favorite, nan

9:34 am

fuzzykoala

I've played a fair bit of prolific. More recently I've only been playing the tournaments but I've dnped enough that I thought I'd take a break. Not related to Ben but am related to Mitch

9:35 am

fuzzykoala

Mostly I've been playing at serpentine lately

9:35 am

moolingwa

cool...yeah I'm not as big a fan of the dictionary on prolific...bit of an OSPD bigot I guess :)

9:35 am

moolingwa

haven't played serpentine for years

9:36 am

moolingwa

I do enjoy Babble though...as a contrast...fits into my life a bit better

9:36 am

fuzzykoala

it's a pretty small group of regulars these days

9:36 am

moolingwa

that's too bad

9:37 am

fuzzykoala

agreed. Babble is pretty fantastic. I think that most of the action is smartphone swiping these days.

9:38 am

moolingwa

There's some awful dictionaries on some of those games

9:38 am

moolingwa

play some scrabble on my phone...that's about it

9:39 am

fuzzykoala

Trifioso

9:42 am

moolingwa

no, haven't come across that one...is it for phone?

9:42 am

moolingwa

final 25

9:43 am

bichon

no, not at all. just play it on my laptop

9:44 am

fuzzykoala

yep. I like the format too - similar to serpentine but no limit on the number of players. there's usually 7-800 people playing

9:45 am

fuzzykoala

oh you were talking to bich

9:46 am

moolingwa

that's QuotePuzzler?

9:47 am

Trifioso

10:47 am

mortified to hear that a white rhino was poached in a French animal reserve and it's horn chainsawed off - really thought it was only an African problem

10:47 am

moolingwa

almost esoteric

10:47 am

moolingwa

sorry...in the board, not on the rhino

10:48 am

moolingwa

It appears the Chinese government is finally trying to crack down on it...

10:48 am

moolingwa

so hopefully we'll start to see a reduction

10:50 am

ursh

mool it is so awful here - we lose a rhino every day to poaching for their horns and some of them ore not even dead and left to die the most horrific death

10:52 am

ursh

the poachers are now using "silent" dart guns so they are not heard and the rhino dies from blood loss and suffocation by their own weight on their lungs :(

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

so horrific :-(

10:54 am

bichon

This is so hard to hear.

10:55 am

moolingwa

very sad. I was reading the other day about a reserve I think in Kenya which is now using thermal imaging to try and spot the poachers

10:55 am

bichon

When there's no more rhino, what will they kill next

10:55 am

moolingwa

bbiab

10:57 am

rubyfoo

11:14 am

moolingwa

or circus tents

11:14 am

MLFAN17

its a hyphenated word

11:14 am

moolingwa

well...you typically would hyphenate a re word

11:15 am

MLFAN17

but not all

11:15 am

moolingwa

true

11:15 am

12:01 pm

penquis

hello...

1:14 pm

MLFAN17

pen?

1:16 pm

MLFAN17

not important anyway..

1:18 pm

MLFAN17

I have a non Babble question for anyone who is paying attention to chat. I was wondering if anyone knows where in the US, I wold be able to get a cd player that I can use my earphones with? no wi fi no Bluetooth no radio or mp3 just a cd player and a place to plug in the earphones? any ideas? I do have a portable cd player discman but that's it...

1:19 pm

penquis

i am here....

1:19 pm

penquis

i would suggest checking on eBay...

1:19 pm

MLFAN17

I didn't say hello to you before as I had intended to got distracted

1:20 pm

wvteach

Can you not get earphones that plug into the cd player that you already have?

1:20 pm

MLFAN17

i haven't used ebay for quite some time

1:20 pm

penquis

no problem.... i was doing other things....

1:20 pm

MLFAN17

wvo have two cd player radio etc now that are both broken and we haven't gotten them fixed so i assume i have to get a new one.

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

wv the earphones are the easy part:)

1:21 pm

penquis

had to get anything repaired these days...

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

one of the cd players i have is a 5 cd changer but they don't seem to last long

1:21 pm

penquis

meant "hard"....

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

very true pen

1:22 pm

wvteach

so you really need to get a cd player that comes with earphones

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

i wouldn't know where to take them ot get them repaired but figured buying a new one if i can find one might be somewhat cheaper and easier

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

wv earphone jack

1:23 pm

wvteach

unfortunately it seems to be cheaper to get something new than to get the old thing repaired

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

wv yep :)

1:24 pm

penquis

earphone jacks are generally one of two different sizes....smaller and larger... ;o) .... i think you can even get an attachment, perhaps at Radio Shack, that will convert one size to the other...

1:25 pm

MLFAN17

i use earphones with my discman now

1:25 pm

MLFAN17

so far it seems i have to get another disk man if i want to use earphones

1:25 pm

penquis

they are the smaller size then....

1:25 pm

penquis

how big a CD player are you looking for?

1:26 pm

MLFAN17

i have had an attachment to change the size and i can get one if need be

1:26 pm

MLFAN17

i don't need anything huge and would prefer it plays one cd not multiple

1:27 pm

MLFAN17

some of the boom boxes don't seem to have earphone jacks as often as they used to

1:27 pm

penquis

then why isn't your disc man good enough for you?

1:28 pm

MLFAN17

it is but its not going to last forever and i would prefer a cd player have done both boom box and cd players

1:28 pm

MLFAN17

and with something like a disc man you never know how much longer they will be available

1:31 pm

penquis

do you have something like a Best Buy near you?

1:31 pm

MLFAN17

battery life on them i snot long either

1:31 pm

MLFAN17

i have looked at Walmart lately and nothing including online

1:32 pm

MLFAN17

best buy is about a half hour from here or so

1:32 pm

penquis

i just googled "portable CD players" and Walmart came up....they have a lot of disc man type players....

1:33 pm

penquis

there are a lot of options at Best Buy....i checked by googling again....

1:35 pm

penquis

i suggest you go to the store and talk to a clerk....if you don't see what you are looking for, ask the clerk to check if something else is available online at Best Buy....

1:39 pm

MLFAN17

pen yes I just checked best buy again too some possibilities but some are too expensive

1:40 pm

manishakorpal

hi

1:40 pm

penquis

Hi...

1:40 pm

MLFAN17

pen yes portable cd players I can get but I want a cd player for home not portable unless I have to

1:40 pm

MLFAN17

brb

1:40 pm

penquis

there appear to be quite a few reasonably priced...

1:41 pm

manishakorpal

this is manisha

1:42 pm

manishakorpal

manisha

1:42 pm

MLFAN17

pen gotta keep searching:)

1:43 pm

MLFAN17

first column greyed:)

1:44 pm

penquis

there are a couple boom boxes that are around $35 or $40....i doubt you will find a cheaper player unless it is a disc man...

1:44 pm

penquis

hi manisha...

1:44 pm

manishakorpal

doing you like me

1:45 pm

MLFAN17

pen yeah I am beginning to think a cd player by itself might not happen.

1:45 pm

manishakorpal

hi

1:46 pm

manishakorpal

manisha

1:46 pm

manishakorpal

manisha

1:46 pm

penquis

not unless you get a disc man....boom boxes will have other stuff like FM radio....

1:46 pm

penquis

I would find what you like and then search for it on eBay...

1:46 pm

MLFAN17

pen that's true

1:47 pm

MLFAN17

thanks pen but I am not going to use ebay

1:47 pm

manishakorpal

manisha

1:47 pm

MLFAN17

besides I cant as I cant access my email

1:48 pm

manishakorpal

manisha

1:49 pm

lorena_k

sometimes I use amazon to shop for stuff MLFan its better than ebay I think

1:49 pm

MLFAN17

pen my biggest problem is that I use it frequently so the battery life doesn't last as long

1:49 pm

MLFAN17

hi lorena thanks:)

1:49 pm

penquis

i use both....sometimes one is cheaper than the other...

1:50 pm

penquis

if you have a boom box, you don't have to use batteries...can plug it in....

1:50 pm

lorena_k

Hello :)

1:50 pm

penquis

hi lorena...

1:51 pm

MLFAN17

true pen but whats the point if I don't use the other things on it ?

1:51 pm

penquis

the point is....does it give you what you want?....and is the price reasonable for what you want?....you won't get penalized for not using all of the features...

1:52 pm

penquis

or just buy another disc man....there are plenty of cheap ones out there...

1:52 pm

MLFAN17

pen yep they are cheap

1:52 pm

penquis

but then you spend a lot on batteries...

1:53 pm

MLFAN17

exactly

1:53 pm

MLFAN17

see why I need a cd player?:) lol

1:53 pm

penquis

so get a cheap boom box...i am done with this topic now.... ;o)

3:35 pm

lynxxx

you can make bl7.36 though

3:36 pm

lynxxx

both ways in fact

3:46 pm

Soodle

Love your profile biog, Lynn! All Babblers should be grateful to you :-)

3:48 pm

lynxxx

hey Soodle, nice to see you again

3:49 pm

Soodle

Thank you Lynn for the Etui thing! Lol!

3:51 pm

lynxxx

I was admiring this embroidery (doesn't look good at all in this picture), then I saw it was an etui so had to put it up here.

3:53 pm

Soodle

My Sarah, currently holidaying in Sydney, is sending me snapchats of herself wearing a hat with correspondence

3:53 pm

Soodle

damn auto correct..... a hat with corks dangling off it....

3:54 pm

lynxxx

I wondered what on earth you were talking about!

3:54 pm

Soodle

She is really getting in touch with the real Australia (sarcastic font)

3:55 pm

lynxxx

Is she doing the backpacker thing or just out here for a few weeks?

3:55 pm

Soodle

Get this ... she is there for 6 days!!

3:56 pm

lynxxx

which just goes to show how fares have reduced! wow!

3:56 pm

lynxxx

is she at least going to NZ as well?

3:58 pm

Soodle

2 full days to get there, 2 full days to get home & about 4 full days in Oz!

3:58 pm

lynxxx

crazy

3:58 pm

Soodle

Meh! Youth is seriously wasted on the young!

4:01 pm

Soodle

Still - she made use of every minute there (dangly cork hat, petting kangaroos, cocktails at the Opera House) she is having a blast!

4:04 pm

lynxxx

petting kangaroos!...should I tell you now about the female jogger who was pushed to the ground and badly clawed up by a kangaroo a month or so ago...or should I wait till Sarah is back on the plane?

4:05 pm

Soodle

Perhaps you should defer that for about /4

4:05 pm

Soodle

Perhaps you should defer that for about /4

4:05 pm

Soodle

24, hours, Lynn, if possible....

4:07 pm

lynxxx

lol - it was a very rare event - everyone was gobsmacked

4:09 pm

lynxxx

and I hope she sees a co5.12 (misspelt again!) although certainly she shouldn't cuddle one of those)

4:10 pm

Soodle

She DID get bitten by a spider or some sort of creepy-crawly. When I asked if it was poisonous, she said we'll have to wIt & see, won't we'?

4:11 pm

Soodle

'WAit'

4:12 pm

lynxxx

she sounds as though she has her head screwed on and will seek med assist if it flares up. The red back and white tails are the ones to worry about - though antidotes readily available

4:14 pm

4:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i feel terrible that I missed her anniversary last year. I generally change my icon to one.

4:33 pm

lynxxx

she has gone but I think quite a few of us will never forget her - she was very special

4:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

and you know, when i sent her a card when she was in hospital, she would send me one back!

4:34 pm

lynxxx

Anyway a lovely cool morning here so no excuse in not getting to gym...see you later

4:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

MollyL

End the other bl7 with a man's neck wear

4:48 pm

periwinkle

ty Molly

4:48 pm

MollyL

It is one of those Scot words most of us have never heard of.

4:54 pm

lil*monkey

what does gobsmacked mean

4:57 pm

moolingwa

being smacked...by a gob

4:57 pm

MollyL

Flabbergasted

4:58 pm

moolingwa

I wonder what flabber is

4:58 pm

moolingwa

german I would guess

4:58 pm

MollyL

Not sure, but apparently it gets gasted

4:59 pm

moolingwa

sounds painful

4:59 pm

MollyL

The technical definition is utterly astonished, astounded. It is a very dramatic word.

5:00 pm

moolingwa

indeed

5:00 pm

moolingwa

hyperbolic almost

5:01 pm

moolingwa

still have 7 left, and I'm completely flabbergasted

5:18 pm

lil*monkey

I was watching Harry Potter and those kids talked about being gobsmacked, and I had no idea what they meant. And keep in mind, I spend several years living in England as a kid.

5:20 pm

MollyL

I think there are some terms that are local to certain parts of countries. For example, here in these united states, there are several was to refer to soft drinks, depending on what part of the country you are in.

5:21 pm

MollyL

Several ways

5:21 pm

lil*monkey

I say soda.

5:22 pm

MollyL

Right, I do too. We are from the same regional part of the country. Elsewhere they say tonic (New England) soda pop (out west) and Co-cola (for all soft drinks) down south.

5:32 pm

moolingwa

And sub sandwiches...lots of variation on those too

5:38 pm

lil*monkey

I say subs. Unless we're talking about authentic hoagies from the Jersey shore area, and those are hoagies.

5:38 pm

moolingwa

Philly is where hoagies are really from ;)

5:38 pm

lil*monkey

yes, true.

5:39 pm

lil*monkey

Also unique to the Philly/ Jersey shore lingo: fried dough (not funnel cakes), cheesesteak (not steak n cheese) and PIES (not pizza).

5:40 pm

moolingwa

and macaroni and gravy

5:40 pm

moolingwa

and let's (not) forget about scrapple

5:40 pm

lil*monkey

I thought that was Balmer, mac n gravy or fries n gravy

5:41 pm

lil*monkey

scrapple GROSS! My mom is from Philly and she was always cooking that disgusting thing.

5:41 pm

moolingwa

great soft pretzels in philly too

5:41 pm

moolingwa

who put the crap in scrapple?

5:41 pm

lil*monkey

Oh yes indeed, love the soft pretzels. Also Taylor Pork Roll.

5:41 pm

moolingwa

and the Kielbasa is pretty good also

5:42 pm

lil*monkey

Here in Virginia, they pronounce it Kiel-bossy

5:42 pm

moolingwa

heh

5:42 pm

moolingwa

America has great cuisine

5:43 pm

moolingwa

From Jumbalaya to Chowder and everything in between

5:43 pm

lil*monkey

Barbecue, shrimp n grits, pizza, tacos

5:44 pm

moolingwa

Pit Beef, garlic fries

5:44 pm

lil*monkey

hush puppies

5:44 pm

moolingwa

deep fried pickles

5:45 pm

lil*monkey

chili & cornbread

5:45 pm

moolingwa

was just about to say chili

5:45 pm

lil*monkey

haaaaaaaaa are you hungry moo?

5:45 pm

moolingwa

chicago dogs and italian beef

5:45 pm

moolingwa

I wish, have some sort of flu thingy going

5:46 pm

lil*monkey

Italian sausage & peppers on a bun at the ball park

5:46 pm

moolingwa

Buffalo wings

5:46 pm

lil*monkey

Fried oysters

5:47 pm

lil*monkey

Key lime pie

5:47 pm

lil*monkey

Sorry you are sick, moo. You must have a strong stomach.

5:48 pm

moolingwa

well not nauseous fortunately

5:48 pm

lil*monkey

That's good

5:48 pm

moolingwa

but harder to concentrate

5:48 pm

moolingwa

this morning I asked my wife where the honey was and it was right in front of me

5:49 pm

moolingwa

makes babbling a little tougher

5:49 pm

lil*monkey

Maybe you have a fever?

5:50 pm

moolingwa

moderate one if any

5:50 pm

lil*monkey

Well I'm off to clean up the kitchen, only 151 left to find. Dammit.

5:50 pm

moolingwa

have fun

5:52 pm

oh sorry harp had stepped away from computer. Where you going to be ?

11:28 pm

harpjane

bicycling in Capetown, Garden Route and Little Karoo. Then a photo safari in ZuluNatal, near St. Lucia. And, of course Victoria Falls!

11:29 pm

harpjane

Do you think I will need heavy rain gear, or just something light?

11:34 pm

ursh

hmmm Cape Town is very dry at the moment they have winter rain if they lucky. Drought conditions there at present. Karoo very hot. St Lucia apparantly gorgeous have had plenty of rain. So a good mix but dont think "heavy" rain gear will be necessary - but then again this is Africa - anything can happen weather wise !

11:35 pm

harpjane

techically, it will be fall, not winter. but you know how that goes! I'm trying to pack light as I tend to overdo it!

11:36 pm

harpjane

I'm a little worried about cycling in hot weather after the winter we've had. I'll be miserable for the first few days, I'm sure.

11:36 pm

ursh

Still can get very hot in KZN until well into April.

11:37 pm

ursh

Cape Town at this time of the year should be quite mild

11:38 pm

harpjane

the little details amaze me--someone just told me to keep my mouth closed, and not lick my lips at Victoria Falls. Who knew?

11:40 pm

ursh

Not been to Vic Falls - wonder why - spray ?

11:41 pm

harpjane

yes, evidently there is a parasite in the spray?

11:42 pm

ursh

hmmm live and learn :)

11:46 pm

harpjane

schistosomiasis

11:47 pm

ursh

never heard of that before with regard to Vic Falls

11:47 pm

ursh

in fact never heard of it at all

11:49 pm

harpjane

I just learned about it from a few cousins who have gone. It must not be a big issue.
