hello not good
2:42 am
grannyrose
where oh where has my lickety gone? oh where oh where can he be? with his li4 so long, and his clues so good, oh where oh where can he be?
2:42 am
jwr
Ah. Wondered if you were still here. Misread the time! Something new?
2:43 am
grannyrose
*gently holds cos in my arms* use my shoulder de4 friend.
2:43 am

Gooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx
2:43 am
Kamanjah
Hi Rose! I'm needing Lickety too, but I'll bet when he tried to make his list the site was still down.
2:44 am
Kamanjah
Cos, I'm so sorry to hear your news.
2:44 am
jwr
Cos, I thought he was talking months.
2:44 am
cosdem
not anymore jwr
2:44 am
grannyrose
ahhhh, poor cos. sweetheart, make the most of them. hold Ryan's hand, talk to him, tell him everything you want him to hear.
2:45 am
cosdem
its too hard
2:46 am
jwr
Are you angry with him for leaving you?
2:46 am
cosdem
furious scared terrified sad depressed
2:47 am
cosdem
i miss him
2:48 am
grannyrose
no cos, do it. yes it is hard, and you'll probably weep the whole time. but do it, otherwise you may have to live with i wish i had....and that is the worst feeling i can tell you. i never told my best friend to shut up and have the second lot of chemo, and i live with that everyday, thinking that second lot of chemo may just have saved her.
2:50 am
jwr
Too much, cos. You have to drop it all - one word, one feeling at a time, let it go - and just think of sending love. Share some private (very private) secret between you, remind him. Clear your heart and your head will follow.
2:50 am
grannyrose
you and Ryan deserve to share with each other for the last few days. are there facilities at the care place where you can sleep in his room, be with him every given moment?.
2:51 am
grannyrose
cos he is still with you. he can hear you. talk to Ryan.
2:51 am
jwr
listen to rose, cos. It's the truth.
2:55 am
grannyrose
cos, do you want Ryan to go without knowing how much you love him, how much you are going to miss him? TELL HIM... you have the right, and so does Ryan.
2:56 am
jwr
If you're going to stay online for awhile, cos, tell us how you met Ryan, what he gave you in spirit, did you work together? travel? which of you was the best cook?
3:00 am
jwr
I've got to get back to the lines, rose. We're busy tonite. See if you can get cos to call a crisis line. bye

My phone bill soars because people think l've died!

MollyL
Set up a new one.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
l think the repaired one contracted a virus; lt flashes at me and talks!
4:27 am
MollyL
I would suggest getting a new one then. Laptops are not that expensive these days. And if you do, be very careful what you open in your email. Never, ever click on a link in an email. That is how most people get virus and malware on their computers.
4:28 am
rubyfoo
aaah, l didn't know that
4:56 am
MollyL
I think I will go restock the PB. With no Lickety, li4 is going to land a lot of people in there.

8:23 am
72 Temple Owl
i am rather miffed that i could not finish last night. down to four and typing in the 4th and 3rd words when the server went down
8:28 am
Scrabbler
I didn't know that happened. How frustrating for all that wanted to finish.
8:29 am
Scrabbler
Hi bichon. How are you today?
8:30 am
72 Temple Owl
i was searching for may day morris when i noticed that there is one is your city, scrabbler.
8:30 am
Scrabbler
What is that?
8:30 am
bichon
Sick. Have laryingits, swollen sinuses, bad cough. Hope you're better than I am
8:31 am
72 Temple Owl
sorry, bich
8:31 am
Scrabbler
I am well. Respiratory viruses are annoying, but you will improve.
8:33 am
Buttonman
Luv, can't find traderkate in the rankings
8:34 am
bichon
I don't this is a virus. I tend to get swollen sinuses once a year. Unless I am incorrect
8:35 am
Scrabbler
COuld be allergic, I guess, but pollen counts are zero around here so far. More likely viral.
8:35 am
Scrabbler
Free word.
8:36 am
72 Temple Owl
pollen counts are extremely high here - oak, maple and birch
8:36 am
Scrabbler
The last of snow in my yard melted yesterday.

8:38 am
72 Temple Owl
teach, did you hear that the camp at buffalo gap is beting revived?
8:46 am
bichon
Scrabs, my bet is with allergies. Taking a prednisone burst
8:47 am
Scrabbler
Oh, you have asthma?
8:47 am
bichon
Yes, which is controlled with Advair, usually
8:48 am
Scrabbler
Are the trees blooming there?
8:49 am

Yes, I guess. Have been sick for 3 weeks
8:50 am
Scrabbler
We are about 4 weeks behind on spring and will even get a bit of snow tonight.
8:50 am
bichon
Didn't go doctor sooner as we went on our cruise in France
8:50 am
wvteach
Had never heard of that festival/camp but went and explored their information. Sounds intereting, but it is about 3 hours from here.
8:50 am
Scrabbler
Ah, maybe allergens in Europe set you off.
8:51 am
bichon
Perhaps, wh knows. Keep waking up coughing
8:51 am
bichon
ge 7/36, pls
8:51 am

A night-time cough is likely from inflamed airways. Does albuterol help?
8:52 am

Question : Do people who want to join babble or Iron sudoku still have to pay the $15 lifetime membership fee to get all the stats data or has it become free for anyone new joining?
11:58 am
zoozzoom
Someone posed a question on the Iron sudoku site and I tried to answer it the best I could but I was not too sure of the answer.
12:00 pm
leaflet
I just created a second, unpaid profile to test, and on Babble at least, I can see all the data
12:00 pm
zoozzoom
Yeah you will see it for two week period if I remember correctly then the data goes.
12:01 pm
periwinkle
that is what I remember too
12:04 pm
cybernan
hi everyone - back for round 2
12:04 pm
periwinkle
hi nan
12:04 pm
zoozzoom
Welcome back, Nan :-)
12:04 pm
TallMike
I think the membership fee disappeared a long time ago. I no longer see any reference to it on the websites.
12:05 pm
Douglas
NBT-3. For me, one of the beautiful things about Babble is the ability to go about the grid in any number of ways.
12:05 pm
zoozzoom
Ah thanks, Tallmike!
12:05 pm
TallMike
Ur welcome
12:07 pm
cybernan
was just scanning the chat ---- do non members get a profile with icons and all?
12:10 pm
TallMike
I don't think you can play unless you sign up. When you sign up, you get free membership.
12:10 pm
leaflet
I believe I have a profile if I care to fill it out.
12:11 pm
cybernan
I guess Dr. G. can't be bothered to collect it any more. It was $10 when I joined then changed to $15 about a year or 2 later.
12:12 pm
leaflet
I do not see a way to pay money to this site on this brand-new account.
12:12 pm
zoozzoom
Yes I paid $15 for babble & $15 for Iron sudoku. Still think it is the best $30 I have spent to date.
12:12 pm
cybernan
agreed zoom
12:12 pm
zoozzoom
Seems to be the answer then, Mool??/Leaflet
12:13 pm
SamanthaJoy
It's actually me/leaflet, but yeah, that seems to settle it.
12:13 pm
TallMike
Can't be bothered to collect? More likely, doesn't want to feel obligated to continue indefinitely.
12:14 pm
zoozzoom
Oh LOL sorry, SamamthaJoy :-)
12:15 pm
zoozzoom
Don't say that, Tallmike, We have already had a scare this week thinking it was the end of babble :-)
12:16 pm
cybernan
leaflet/sam are one and the same? - from the profile comment, I thought leaflet was Molly
12:17 pm
TallMike
All good things...
12:17 pm
SamanthaJoy
Life is ephemeral. Babble is a part of life. As much as we would like it to be eternal . . .
12:19 pm
zoozzoom
True but there have been other babblers say they are willing to carry it on if the owner wants to step away.
12:20 pm
zoozzoom
I am starting to sound like a babble addict.
12:21 pm
TallMike
Does anyone here have a habit of hiding tricky puzzle words in genuine looking posts? It might be fun. It might help me a lot too, heh heh
12:22 pm
zoozzoom
Could do it in numbers A =1 B =2 etc lol
12:23 pm
doseffing
uusue has a list of scientific words that show up in her profile ... if you go through some of the flippers I think one or two of them have lists of babblets in their profiles
12:23 pm
zoozzoom
Sprite has many in her profile too.
12:24 pm
Kamanjah
When I first signed up for an account, I had 2 weeks free, then had to pay. So the leaflet account should check in 2 weeks...just my random 2 cents - I just turned on my computer, and was faced with the incomplete puzzle - I conked out last night before I could finish.
12:24 pm
zoozzoom
Yeah it has changed to free now, Kamanjah.
12:25 pm
TallMike
How long ago Kaman?
12:30 pm

this is turning into a beast without lickety

12:32 pm
cybernan
professional?
12:32 pm
Kamanjah
Well, then 5.5 years, haha
12:33 pm
Kamanjah
No, semi-pro when I was younger, but I haven't even played in the local symphonies for about 5 years - an injury knocked me out of kilter.
12:35 pm
cybernan
lol -- haven't played for 57 years --- was going to try to pick it up again last year, then took my bow out of the case, discovered it had warped, found out it was going to cost $700 to replace the bow I had purchased for $68 in 1958 and that was the end of that!
12:37 pm
cybernan
* the pegs had shrunk and the modern pegs won't fit in the holes of my 100+ year old violin, so I would have to have new ones hand carved.
12:37 pm
Kamanjah
I miss playing because I always got better from being around professional violists who played in the symphonies I was in as a "community player."
12:38 pm
Kamanjah
I had to have a peg hand carved for my oldest violin. My dad's secretary's dad made it, it's a beautiful instrument.
12:53 pm
JudyHall
Perhaps newer players do not have "profile" information (gender, country flag)displayed in the chog, nor do they have a profile link displayed on the rankings page. I have updated my profile numerous times in the past, but this information never displayed in Babble (though it does in IronSudoku).
12:56 pm
TallMike
JudyHall, I think you you must update your IronSudoku and Babble profiles separately. They are not linked.
1:00 pm
cybernan
122 to go and running out of words -- hopefully lickety will turn up later -- bfn
1:13 pm
JudyHall
Yes, TallMike, I have slightly different profiles for Babble and IronSudoku. IronSudoku displays an avatar as the profile pic and the US flag in chat, whereas in the Babble chog, gender/flag does not display, but my profile pic does.
1:15 pm

Not allowed off lead in public (by law) and no private places without driving an hour (for 5 minutes running - is it worth it?) - He does do excellent zoomies from back fence, accross yard and through house. Does that a few times a day. I then spend 15 minutes cleaning up the racetrack outside! ( I have sand rather than grass)

10:56 pm
NatashaW
so I am not very focused on getting to FW tonight
10:57 pm
NatashaW
which in a way is liberating, just having fun finding words without the pressure of needing to be perfect :-) could be a metaphor for life...
10:58 pm
TraderKate
okay, getting sprog home safely from 1st year away is much more important! :) What a great school.
10:59 pm
TraderKate
I have 75 left... not likely without a printer. for a hard copy
10:59 pm
rururocks
sprog?
10:59 pm

It's been a real experience for him - I think he's gotten more out of being forced into all sorts of adult self-care than he has out of his classes

11:27 pm

The young cellist is off to study with Matt Haimovits. Wowo.
11:28 pm
TraderKate
I put it in mine when she checked out, ty Judy... it's tough without a hard copy and little time to do the matching of what is needed...
11:29 pm
TraderKate
sounds great melon! What did they play?
11:29 pm
TraderKate
LOL 69 to go in half an hour... Bwahahaa, not gonna happen!
11:34 pm

The cellist played a movement from a Boccherini concerto. He's one of our "Cleveland Orchestra kids", students whose parents are in the orchestra.
The pianist played a Kabalevsky concerto with which I am not familiar, and, get this, an alumn who is at UofM majoring in engineering wrote a new arrangement for the orchestral part, because we were short some wind instruments.
I have to brag about our high school, Cleveland Heights High, aka, "Heights High." We have legendary instrumental and vocal programs, as well as visual arts. We have many arts professionals in the area, which helps.
11:35 pm
Dorens
was the cellist stringing you along?
11:35 pm
melonheadjujube
He took a bow—heh heh!
11:36 pm
