oy, i am coughing up yuck today, boo
9:08 am
MollyL
Damn, sickness abounds
9:08 am
pippingeek
i'm sure I'll be fine after lots of water and a little tea
9:08 am
rururocks
*note to self.. get flu shot*
9:08 am
MollyL
I made chicken soup because my son has a nasty cold. Apparently the germs are flying early this year.
9:09 am
pippingeek
got my shot 2 weeks ago!
9:09 am
MollyL
We have started taking elderberry when cold symptoms start and it seems to reduce the length of them
9:09 am
rururocks
i make great chicken soup too
9:09 am
rururocks
elderberry? what Tea?
9:10 am
pippingeek
i should make some chicken soup. I've gotten lazy and started buying the vat from costco
9:10 am
MollyL
We take the capsules. It comes in syrup too.
9:10 am
rururocks
it's way better homemade pip
9:10 am
rururocks
oh.. i should look into that Molly
9:10 am
pippingeek
what does it do? I loathe the flavor of elderflower and I assume it's similar?
9:11 am
rururocks
I don't think i've ever tasted elderflower
9:12 am
rururocks
do elderflowers get berrymedicaid?
9:12 am
pippingeek
it's very popular in cocktails in the last few years, and they use it a lot on the british baking show
9:13 am
rururocks
hmm.. now i'm curious
9:13 am
MollyL
The capsules don't have a flavor
9:13 am
pippingeek
ok, that might be worth doing then
9:14 am
rururocks
i so rarely get sick though.. once a decade or so
9:15 am
pippingeek
that sounds lovely. sadly I work with the public in health care, so I'm exposed to a lot
9:15 am
MollyL
I have a friend who jumps on every herbal bandwagon she reads about. I selectively try some of what she recommends.
9:15 am
MollyL
My son works at a daycare. He is exposed to a lot as well.
9:16 am
rururocks
at least you're not doing that stupid essential oils fad molly, i'd hunt you down if you start posting that
9:17 am
rururocks
not like BR hunt you down kind of thing though
9:17 am
MollyL
Those are the things that keep me away from Twitter and (shudder) Pintrest
9:19 am
Judi
Greetings, Babblephiles.
9:20 am
pippingeek
hi judi
9:20 am
MollyL
BR is a former player who stalked several players here.
9:21 am
pippingeek
ah, i didn't know. that is awful
9:21 am
Judi
Weighing in on the elderberry thing: Elderberry (not the flower) is good for colds. We like the organic gummies. They taste good.
9:27 am
rururocks
yes.. pip.. be he gets a "free pass" here as people forgive him because he has "issues"... incredible
9:28 am
rururocks
that was but instead of be
9:28 am
pippingeek
i have lots of issues too, but i don't go around hurting people because of it
9:29 am
Judi
Did BR physically hurt someone???
9:30 am
rururocks
not really .. thankfully he lived in a remote area and didn't have access to some of us
9:30 am
pippingeek
psychological damage is a legitimate thing tho
9:30 am
rururocks
that's for sure pippin and striking fear in someone is very real in this case
9:31 am
Judi
Geesh. So sad that someone feels the need to do that.
9:33 am
rururocks
he was a very odd duck and very aggressive and mean spirited
9:35 am
MollyL
"Issues" do not give someone free rein to act inappropriately. It is the epitome of enabling to make excuses like that for someone.
9:36 am
rururocks
i agree.. so very true
9:36 am
pippingeek
exactly
9:36 am
pippingeek
we still live in a society, you don't just get to treat others any which way you feel like
9:37 am
rururocks
stated perfectly pip
9:39 am
rururocks
nice to have a small grid during the work week
9:40 am
pippingeek
it is, yesterday took a long time and I have stuff to do today!
9:49 am
Haz1558
ruru, I am sorry that BR was nasty to you - you probably blame me, among others for 'enabling' him. I had ZERO idea that it extended to stalking you, all I could see was the nastiness and sniping that went on between you in the chat log.
9:50 am
rururocks
it wasn't just me haz.. it was several players
9:51 am
rururocks
i don't blame you.. but i'm offended by Lynxx's dismissal of all the "stalking" information as if it were nothing
9:51 am
Haz1558
Again, I didn't know that. Yes, there were vague things said, but nothing in any detail.
9:51 am
Haz1558
I haven't read that far back in the log.
9:52 am
rururocks
he stalked one player to her business office. He also stalked hurshy and freaked her out with some comments about personal stuff.. he sent me mail to my home
9:52 am
Haz1558
I agree, entirely unacceptable and I am sorry that it happened.
9:53 am
rururocks
he got in a "fight" with one player and then in the middle of the fight posted her direct office line in the chat to freak her out.. totally unacceptable
9:54 am
rururocks
people like BR are a sad case i agree, but he also made it impossible for himself to get help.. every shrink that worked with him let him go as untreatable
9:55 am
Haz1558
In other words, he was his own worst enemy.
9:55 am
rururocks
I think that some people like to live in their pain and don't want to work through things and live a life, they're
9:57 am
rururocks
they're happier being miserable and carrying around the pity wagon.. he was one of those I'd guess... and i do understand that he saw horrible things in the war and get that, but you have to move on and try to find peace and happiness if you strive for it
9:57 am
MLFAN17
Non Babble question.. is their a way to look at the pics of someone's Instagram account without the login box appearing. I used to be able to do it but today it wont let me?
9:58 am
rururocks
no idea mlf i don't do instagram
9:59 am
Haz1558
The information about BR's stalking does help to explain why you were so angry with him, at the time I was perplexed because it was all so negative.
9:59 am
MLFAN17
I don't either hence why I just look at its asking me to log in I suppose
9:59 am
pippingeek
my understanding is you have to be logged in to see any pictures
9:59 am
MollyL
You can click on the Flikr photos in their profile by clicking on them. Babble does not link to Instagram.
10:00 am
MLFAN17
ty pipp from my experience today, I guess you might be right
10:00 am
rururocks
he was a frightening person haz.. at one point I wondered if he'd show up at my house with a gun or something.
10:01 am
Haz1558
Chilling thought.
10:01 am
rururocks
but very real when i started getting mail
10:02 am
MollyL
I realize that for the most part, this chat is not monitored. But when someone starts crossing that kind of line, there needs to be some intervention.
10:02 am
Haz1558
Did you establish his real identity?
10:03 am
MLFAN17
who are we talking about?
10:03 am
rururocks
no.. i know what town he lived in.. but i don't track people down.. it's too creepy
10:04 am
rururocks
i do have a picture of him and if i sent that to you you'd have nightmares for weeks :D
10:05 am
Haz1558
I'll give it a pass, thank you.
10:06 am
rururocks
smart thinkin'
10:07 am
Haz1558
You can hold it over me as a threat.
10:07 am
rururocks
another great idea
10:07 am
Haz1558
'Tell me the word, or else'
10:07 am
MLFAN17
that doesn't sound pleasant
10:08 am
rururocks
BR was the Byzantine, 0-0 and god knows what other names he concocted up
10:08 am
rururocks
that was for MLF
10:08 am

originally Babblerabble
10:09 am
MLFAN17
ty oh I think I remember the By name
10:10 am
pippingeek
i swear I'm even monkey typing stupidly today. I will literally try every combination before I realize a letter is possible and it's the last option that is the actual word
10:10 am
rururocks
i think he passed away finally
10:10 am

Cyberstalking is very real and very scary. I suggest everyone look it up and find the ways to keep yourself safe. Especially those of you who post photos on line. Web sites are NOT as safe as you may think they are.

how is gouda not a word... i eat it, therefore it exists
11:18 am
doseffing
... a few of the types of cheese are taken but not many ... never did figure out a pattern ... so I have to try them all every time
11:19 am
jbp
just like some hebrew letters go. but not others
11:19 am
gingin
what a nasty lil grid today...am stuck at 36
11:19 am
MollyL
Gouda is the name of the region the cheese comes from.
11:20 am
jbp
could anyone clue me for the 2nd column R at the bottom?
11:21 am
jbp
that is true (about the region -> the name), but I think if it's on sale in other countries, it should count. (she says whining)
11:21 am
saanichcat
jpb: to egbage to work again
11:21 am
saanichcat
*engage
11:22 am
doseffing
... I think with the cheeses it fill take them if the common expression or at least a common expression uses the name as an adjective ... e.g. cheddar cheese ... I'll guess gouda cheese is just too untypical an expression to be acceptable
11:22 am
jbp
thanks, saaninchat
11:23 am
jbp
hmmm, I'll have to ponder that, doseffing
11:23 am
MollyL
It is my humble opinion that the Enable word list makes no sense. Some words go, some don't. Some foreign words are okay, others are not. It is a word list compiled at the whims of those who compiled it.
11:23 am
doseffing
... it seems to take brie, cheddar and feta but not many others
11:26 am
jbp
personally, I can see using the word without following it with "cheese" for several cheeses... gouda, feta, brie, camembert, but not many others
11:26 am
jbp
well, have a good day all; I've hit the wall (ouch!) with 20 left. maybe bbl.

With all the stories I have heard about "outdoor cats" getting injured, I have to say, I don't get it. It seems like indoor cats are the safer option.
1:18 pm
BzznBea
Molly, I have two indoor cats. They never go outside! We have a pack of wild dogs that run the neighborhood and I have seen them with dead cats dangling from their mouths. The dogs often overnight on our large, accomodating front porch...=(
1:19 pm
MollyL
Ugh Bea. Those are the kinds of stories that make me wonder why people let their cats roam around outside.
1:20 pm
BzznBea
There is also a very large colony of community (feral) cats that live on our premises. Yes, I feed and water them and provide them with winter shelter. I have also had 60 of them spayed/neutered in the last five years in hopes of controlling the population. It has made a huge difference, but there are still kittens showing up all the time!
1:25 pm
BzznBea
I am the crazy cat lady and I run a cat house...

Congrats, Bea! Thank you, Molly! Maybe next time I will be able to dazzle you with my groovy dance moves LOL either that or you will probably fall about with laughter of how ridiculous my moves actually look! Was turning this off when I saw your message :-)

The E in the bottom right is an er 5/16. The clue is take the er 4/6 and add a vowel in the middle.
