12:05 am

knutmeg

12:05 am

stidmama

12:05 am

wassup

knut, that's the life of a working mom

12:05 am

bendamalina

77....hmmm...i think Dr_God HAS been listening

12:05 am

stidmama

she was due around now, wasn't she?

12:06 am

stidmama

ahhh,, knuts!

12:06 am

wassup

she's probably waiting for a phone call. i am too, but keeping busy

12:06 am

stidmama

did anyone else notice that, before you enter any words, the "last word entered" line says Let the games begin!

12:06 am

jaianniah

o man, i slept thru the flip!!!

12:06 am

stidmama

well, I will keep my fingers crossed that all goes well.

12:07 am

wassup

she's actually not due until june 1st, but she has severe preeclampsia and has been on bedrest for 6 weeks. her blood pressure was way up, 190 ish so she was admitted a few hours ago. they'll induce if they cant get it down

12:07 am

bendamalina

hah, i didn't notice that stid...funny

12:07 am

knutmeg

You and me, mum, we're a pair tonight. I was totally zoned out, listening to see if LIv is waking up or not

12:07 am

stidmama

jaianniah! I missed you today! feeling betterer?

12:08 am

stidmama

ooh. well, at least nowadays there are options and they should both be fine either way.

12:08 am

helenkeller

so i finally got the first flip & couldn't get on the site to enjoy it

12:08 am

wassup

yeah, and the baby

12:08 am

jaianniah

bout the same, stiddie, it's going to take some time- but it is so good to be home!

12:08 am

wassup

sorry. and the baby is at 36 weeks now

12:08 am

LeslieAnn

i was having trouble too, helen

12:09 am

stidmama

i am so glad you're home! do you have someone at home to help you (i hope so)

12:09 am

helenkeller

wass - just was reading back - hope she does ok

12:09 am

stidmama

36 weeks isn't too bad. early, but not scarily so.

12:09 am

jaianniah

my hubbie until sunday- then I am on my own

12:09 am

helenkeller

leslie!!!! - did you get 'initialization error' messages?

12:10 am

stidmama

well, we'll have to get you better then! *sending healing vibes via e-space*

12:10 am

wassup

no, her 1st was 31 weeks. that was scary. she was only 3 lbs. had to stay in the nicu for 25 days. not fun

12:10 am

kimberblue

i was induced at 36 weeks with my second child for the same thing

12:10 am

jaianniah

t y ty ty!!!!

12:10 am

LeslieAnn

i kept getting nothing on the screen and it just said "error"

12:10 am

wassup

how did that go kimber?

12:11 am

kimberblue

everything was perfect 7.4 lbs even

12:11 am

stidmama

do you take comfrey or any of the other "mending" herbs -- or would they interfere with the meds you are on?

12:11 am

helenkeller

well, i'm glad we're here now :)

12:11 am

stidmama

Matthew was in nicu for 14 days, but had the opposite problem -- born at 10 months and WAY too big for me!

12:11 am

kimberblue

being induced is horrible though

12:11 am

kimberblue

just in that the contractions hit you fast and furious

12:12 am

harpjane

sometimes the small ones are harder

12:12 am

knutmeg

cool, both me and my baby's names (the shortened versions) can be found in todays grid

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

10 months?? why so long?

12:12 am

stidmama

I hated it -- they did that for me with Matthew but didn't tell me... that was really mean of them.

12:12 am

harpjane

puzzles, I mean. I've never been in labor!

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

lol jane

12:12 am

stidmama

My midwife didn't believe me when I told her I was probably pregnant in February, and assumed I was due in December...

12:13 am

wassup

my son was born 9lbs 3 oz and he was at 38 weeks. the drs said i would have had a 10 pounder if he went 2 more weeks

12:13 am

wassup

he's still huge. looks 5, but he's 4

12:14 am

kimberblue

i had a 9.12 pounder at 40 weeks - one day

12:14 am

stidmama

Matthew was 9.5 pounds. Grant (and I am absolutely certain when he was conceived LOL) was born at exactly 9 months and weighed 8.5

12:14 am

kimberblue

if they can't get her blood pressure down- it really is best for the baby to be born

12:14 am

wassup

yikes. i love big babies though

12:14 am

stidmama

oooh kimberblue. that is too much!

12:14 am

kimberblue

the hard part is they will not let you out of bed. period. due to your blood pressure

12:15 am

wassup

she just went through this last june. her 1st is only 10 months old. let's just say..."oops".

12:15 am

stidmama

I am glad I never had to deal with that.

12:15 am

kimberblue

does she have support?

12:15 am

wassup

me too

12:15 am

kimberblue

oh my!

12:16 am

stidmama

that's going to be like twins only without the advantage of only one birthday party to plan!

12:16 am

wassup

yeah, her whole family is here. my mom, my aunt, her mother in law and I are switching off days with the baby (Molly).

12:16 am

wassup

mine are 13 months apart and they're still mistaken for twins all the time

12:17 am

LeslieAnn

my sister and i were 22 months apart and have always been mistaken for twins (i'm older, she's taller)

12:17 am

kimberblue

how was her first birth? hopefully being through it once will help-

12:17 am

stidmama

my boys were 26 months apart and mistaken for twins from the time Grant was one until a couple years ago! Matthew didn't grow very fast the first 8 years.

12:17 am

stidmama

Grant is really following the tall side of the family's growth curve... Matthew follows mine.

12:17 am

kimberblue

i love births! I am a doula though so i have to love them!

12:18 am

wassup

it was fast. only took about 3 hours from the time her water broke. she was hard to get into labor though. it took a few days of pitocin

12:18 am

wassup

i love it too. some people get all freaked out when they hear birth stories. it's a total miracle! i love hearing other people's stories and sharing my own

12:18 am

LeslieAnn

that's neat kimber. i don't have any plans for kids soon but i think i would like to use one if that ever comes to be

12:18 am

stidmama

I wish I'd had a doula... couldn't afford one at the time. We made do.

12:18 am

kimberblue

i'm glad she had a dr. that was patient instead of going straight for a c-section

12:19 am

wassup

leslie, i didn't know we were the same age!

12:19 am

kimberblue

i would have been your doula in return for clues :)

12:19 am

stidmama

i wonder if Lickety's here but afraid to step in because we're all talking about babies and stuff?

12:20 am

LeslieAnn

lol might hold you to that

12:20 am

wassup

she was actually to the point of wanting a c-section, but she woke up the morning they were going to do it and took a shower to prepare for surgery. her water broke in the shower and the contractions came on FAST

12:20 am

LeslieAnn

wassup, you sound pretty established though! husband, kids... i'm still working on the getting married part

12:21 am

stidmama

i am fortunately (i hope) too old now to have kids. I had really bad post-partum depression -- on top of all my other problems. NOT a good situation. I missed so much of their first few years.

12:21 am

wassup

stid, all i have to do is say placenta to my husband and he'll stop eating. :) I love the POWER!

12:21 am

kimberblue

i hope she can avoid it this time- the recovery with a 10 month and a new born would not be super fun!

12:21 am

wassup

leslie, i got married at 19. i got a head start... i'm the weirdo

12:21 am

kimberblue

i'm only chatting so much becasue I can't find any words- lol!

12:22 am

wassup

i found one

12:22 am

kimberblue

i hvae 8!

12:22 am

mab

I'll change the subject! Dr. G, the icons in the chat log are too too small. I know you have to juggle a zillion elements to make everything fit, but the icons!!!! Such a huge babble element!

12:22 am

mab

Look at me. I'm a mere color.

12:22 am

stidmama

don't rush it, LeslieAnn -- there are advantages both ways (young mother, older mother), but take your time and find the right person. My Tom is my very best friend and so we have weathered some tough times.

12:23 am

LeslieAnn

i am still getting used to the new format, i think that's why the word finding is so slow (yeah... THAT'S it...)

12:23 am

stidmama

mab, you're silly. but very pretty, nonetheless.

12:23 am

wassup

i just love that i can see the chat log without scrolling

12:24 am

LeslieAnn

oh, i actually am getting married (in october) but we both kind of shutter at the thought of having kids now. maybe in 5 years or so, but not soon

12:24 am

stidmama

I feel the same, wassup.

12:25 am

stidmama

good for you LeslieAnn! yes, get married, enjoy that part of your life, then have kids. but think before you buy lots of expensive furniture and "toys" that kids are tough on them... ;-)

12:25 am

wassup

leslie, i didn't plan it. we got married with the idea that we'd wait a few years. 5 months later, i proved the pill wrong... :) It all worked out great and I wouldn't change a thing now. But...enjoy being a couple first, a baby is a HUGE marriage tester...

12:25 am

mab

Don't close the shudders, Leslie Ann === How exciting! Congratulations! ;D

12:25 am

knutmeg

I actually felt the same way, LeslieAnn, when I got married. Oddly, I ended up moving the time table up, but I still think 5 years without kids sounds good for a marriage

12:25 am

helenkeller

congrats leslie!!!

12:26 am

helenkeller

college

12:26 am

helenkeller

noooooooooooooooo

12:26 am

helenkeller

not again - someone just shoot me

12:26 am

wassup

thanks! :)

12:26 am

LeslieAnn

haha thanks for the great clue, helen!

12:26 am

stidmama

I think, LeslieAnn, that you will both know when the time is right and don't think you have to hold yourselves to any particular time table (yours or anyone else's)

12:26 am

harpjane

bed time. Tonight is our last night on the "temporary" setup we started using over a year ago. The new mattress set arrives tomorrow. (Of course, it might not actually fit up the stairs....)

12:26 am

harpjane

To be continued....

12:26 am

mab

Poor Helen.

12:26 am

stidmama

12:26 am

helenkeller

12:27 am

ARB

12:27 am

mab

Thank you helen.

12:27 am

wassup

ha helen. that's great!

12:27 am

mab

Night harpjane.

12:27 am

stidmama

*guffaw* helen -- thanks for the cl**!

12:27 am

helenkeller

12:27 am

helenkeller

yeah - got that one already :(

12:28 am

mab

What would Enable know about institutions of higher learning.

12:28 am

stidmama

oops! helen I almost did it, too!

12:29 am

WelaV1927

whats the word count?

12:29 am

LeslieAnn

lol, speaking of other people's timetables, i kid you not, when we told my dad we were engaged he was very excited and happy etc. and in the SAME conversation mentioned grandkids *facepalm*

12:29 am

helenkeller

welll stid ---- i'm waiting ......

12:29 am

mab

It's so easy to do. Maybe by the time we're all in the Babbler Home together we will have learned.

12:29 am

bendamalina

77 words tonight

12:29 am

helenkeller

LOL - the babbler home - lol

12:29 am

stidmama

waiting?? helen did I miss something? it's getting awfully late for me....

12:30 am

helenkeller

waiting -- for you to return the favor - you said you 'almost' did it

12:30 am

stidmama

oh, wait around, it'll happen sooner or later! :-)

12:30 am

stidmama

davi

12:30 am

stidmama

blast! see?

12:31 am

LeslieAnn

i tried that, it doesn't work, stid ;)

12:31 am

helenkeller

but that's not even a word

12:31 am

stidmama

no, but the anagram did!

12:31 am

bendamalina

i have 27 words so far...

12:32 am

cybernan

Evening all --seeing as how it's such a short one, I will try it on the beta site. :)

12:32 am

stidmama

I have only 16, but was busy talking about babies...

12:32 am

bendamalina

who's racing me?

12:32 am

bendamalina

evening cybernan

12:32 am

stidmama

hi nan!

12:32 am

helenkeller

i am

12:32 am

helenkeller

12:32 am

stidmama

I'll race you bendamalina, but I have to go to sleep soon!

12:32 am

bendamalina

yeah, we'll see how much longer i stay awake, too

12:33 am

mab

What about 'gell'? As in "Gells, do sit up straight'

12:33 am

LeslieAnn

is anyone having trouble loading the word list? every time i refresh/view someone's profile etc. when i come back my list is gone

12:34 am

mab

I'm afraid you;re incorrigible, helen.

12:34 am

helenkeller

it is slow to load up

12:35 am

stidmama

that's cause all us babbleholics are trying to see what the grid is like today! so far, I don't think it's very friendly....

12:35 am

helenkeller

you're right mab - i should not chat - or only chat and no grid -one or the other - i think multitasking is just a fancy way of saying doing two things at once, neither well

12:35 am

stidmama

jaianniah? how are you doing so far?

12:35 am

bendamalina

one of these days i hope coelacanth shows up in babble

12:36 am

LeslieAnn

that's the best fish on animal crossing :)

12:36 am

jaianniah

got 35 words and am going to beddie-bye. Love to you!

12:36 am

bendamalina

night jaianniah

12:36 am

mab

I feel the same way about the much touted multi-tasking, nevertheless, I would be sad if you were to stop chatting or babbling.

12:36 am

stidmama

way to go jaianniah! see you tomorrow, I hope. {{gentle hug}}

12:37 am

mab

Good night jaianniah.

12:37 am

helenkeller

12:37 am

stidmama

12:37 am

wassup

k, so i just got an update. my sister's staying overnight for observation, but her bp went down. she'll be discharged tomorrow evening if all goes well. no baby tonight!

12:38 am

helenkeller

ok, that's it - i'm going to bed - too tired, was trying for 1 more to make it an even 40, but this grid is tough

12:38 am

stidmama

*sigh of relief* so she can sleep, and you can babble, and the baby gets at least another day.

12:38 am

kimberblue

i'm glad to here that - she'll be on bed rest though from here on out I bet!

12:38 am

stidmama

12:42 am

kimberblue

12:42 am

wassup

tacoma is a nightmare. every time i've driven through it i've been caught in horrible traffic

12:42 am

stidmama

12:42 am

kimberblue

Tacoma is not fun to drive through, though the museum section is really nice these days!

12:43 am

LeslieAnn

stid, i would never believe you had bad grammar ;)

12:43 am

kimberblue

oops- blushing

12:43 am

wassup

12:44 am

stidmama

I notice nobody is saying i'm not boring... hmph!

12:44 am

stidmama

;-)

12:44 am

wassup

kansas is the flat state. someone told me a joke once about kansas. you can stand on the ground and see a mile, stand on a tuna can and you can see 10 miles

12:44 am

12:45 am

wassup

i love illinois. i have a friend in springfield. it's so pretty in the fall

12:45 am

12:46 am

Just my weird sense of humour kimber.

12:46 am

evilolive

12:51 am

kimberblue

it's not an easy word- it has to do with the discharge of blood and tissue after birth

12:51 am

LeslieAnn

hmm, i'm asking, but unless you say "working at murphy's" i probably won't be able to relate :)

12:51 am

evilolive

she as in my wife, not sure what sex the baby is

12:51 am

wassup

awesome olive, congrats

12:52 am

evilolive

12:52 am

kimberblue

i ate at murphy's this week :)

12:53 am

wassup

just sleep as much as you can right now. :)

12:53 am

bendamalina

12:53 am

LeslieAnn

man, what i wouldn't give for some irish nachos right about now...

12:53 am

kimberblue

I work for Crisis Nursery- a short term shelter for children birth-five whose parents are enduring a crisis

12:53 am

wassup

irish nachos? intriguing...what are they

12:53 am

wassup

that's awesome kimber

12:54 am

LeslieAnn

oh neat, i know crisis nursery. i worked at the di and we did a lot of stories over there, and for fundraisers etc.

12:54 am

kimberblue

cool- do you know Kit and Mary?

12:54 am

LeslieAnn

irish nachos are like everything you would put on nachos, but instead it's on waffle fries. mmmmmm...

12:54 am

mab

very exciting olive! When is the little olive due?

12:54 am

wassup

dang...sounds good

12:55 am

LeslieAnn

yes ma'am i do. they might even remember me :)

12:55 am

stidmama

man -- am stuck at 24 words, and can't seem to focus, so good night, all!

12:55 am

kimberblue

12:55 am

bendamalina

12:56 am

kimberblue

Illini Media just built a new building on Green st. it is huge and beautiful!

12:56 am

LeslieAnn

sure, hopefully they will know me from leslie, if not, leslie & angie will probably trigger their memory. how do you know them?

12:56 am

mab

good night stidmama.

12:56 am

cybernan

monkeyed the lo!

12:56 am

evilolive

night stid

12:56 am

cybernan

did someone post a d7?

12:57 am

LeslieAnn

i know, i've heard about it but haven't seen it yet. no more walking all the way down green street to work...

12:57 am

kimberblue

do you still need the lo/6 evilolvine

12:57 am

cybernan

those ee's are in the wrong spot!!

12:57 am

evilolive

yes kimber, tried monkeying a few, but no luck yet

12:58 am

cybernan

that new tab didn't work -- have no idea what I did wrong.

12:58 am

bendamalina

are you running windows, cybernan?

cybernan

oops -- sorry -- in the wrong box!

1:00 am

evilolive

hehe thanks cybernan

1:00 am

cybernan

Just another bad desing on this site!

1:00 am

kimberblue

lo + the two consonants that start the other birth word(the one I kept saying) + third vowel + first vowel

1:00 am

jeffer

no prob for me, cyber!!

1:02 am

LeslieAnn

all right, i'm going to have to get to bed. lovely chatting with everyone. hopefully can talk to kimber later about C-U and wasssssup about our mid-20s :)

1:02 am

evilolive

thanks kimber. mustn't have been listening when they talked about that!

1:02 am

bendamalina

I think that enough people accidentally type words in the chat box that it is qualifies as a design flaw

1:02 am

bendamalina

night leslieann

1:03 am

kimberblue

how long ago were you here Leslie Ann?

1:03 am

LeslieAnn

um, let's think, '99 to '03

LeslieAnn

dalmatian5

LeslieAnn - I have to thank you for helping me with the icons and use of google. I have finally figured out how to do it and am thrilled!

1:06 am

LeslieAnn

oh i went to cowboy monkey a few times, i think it popped up just as i was leaving.

1:06 am

LeslieAnn

licketySplitAUS

Nice small one today - I bet you are all finished by now ?

1:10 am

licketySplitAUS

If anyone needs them clues are up. Got delayed today with work. Gotta run. bye for now.

1:15 am

cybernan

tiny but tough, lickety

1:19 am

cybernan

stuck at 36 -- think I'll go find an icon in keeping with today's theme (teacups)

1:20 am

trishtrash

evil

1:20 am

trishtrash

oh folks, I am so sorry ... I was about to say good morning when I spotted a word and pounced!!

1:21 am

bendamalina

i think everyone is asleep anyways

1:21 am

bendamalina

but no problem trish, this is a very common occurance

1:22 am

trishtrash

ty, dear. I shall pay more attention to what I'm doing now. Which is trying to convince myself that there are *words* in this grid!

1:23 am

bendamalina

heh. i've been stuck at 44 for a while now

1:23 am

trishtrash

vila

1:23 am

trishtrash

omg !

1:23 am

trishtrash

this thing is lethal! (well if you're a half-asleep idiot)

1:23 am

trishtrash

*gets cursor OUT of the chatterbox*

1:24 am

bendamalina

at least it wasn't actually a word

1:24 am

Boysaway

Dr God said we'd get used to it Trish

1:24 am

bendamalina

try making a habit of clicking anywhere on the screen outside of the box when you're done saying something

1:24 am

trishtrash

lol, still this isn't the place to monkey-type

1:25 am

trishtrash

Boys, I'm sure we will ... meanwhile apologies everyone.

1:27 am

Boysaway

no problem, I need any help I can get with this e*** grid!

1:28 am

cybernan

There's nothing like a cup of Earl Grey ..... Mmmm *refresh*

1:29 am

cybernan

if there were a submit button as before, we wouldn't have the problem of words accidentally being typed into the log.

1:30 am

Boysaway

hurshy did her best to persuade Dr G of that but he disagreed

1:32 am

trishtrash

I wonder if he'd consider it a worthwhile use of his time to arrange a <bleep> anytime a word from the day's grid is used? Probably too time consuming for too little reason. And then you'd have words like 'them' and 'caulliflower' that people use every day and the conversation would get confusing ;)

1:33 am

Boysaway

I suppose we'll get used to it in time

1:34 am

cybernan

I think that contrary to what he says in his profile (aim to please) the good doc does precisely what he likes and doesn't really care what we think --- I certainly haven't seen any evidence of anything being done about any of our suggestions.

1:34 am

trishtrash

Cybernan ... to be fair, I think we've only had a couple of days to get used to the 'new'. It makes sense for Dr_G to let the dust settle before deciding if/what changes to make.

1:36 am

cybernan

Don't get me wrong -- there are some nice new features on this site, but also some of unnecessary ones and some downright annoying ones.

1:37 am

cybernan

Anyway, my poor old eyes can only stand these bright colours and small type for so long, and the limit has been reached. See you tomorrow :)

1:37 am

trishtrash

I agree, Cybernan, this is a mixed bag o' change, for sure.

1:37 am

bendamalina

night cybernan.

1:38 am

trishtrash

ta ta for now, Cybernan. I'm going to disappear for a bit too, this grid is obviously going to take more prodding than I first thought ... talk to all later.

1:47 am

bendamalina

ok, i'm stuck at 46 and going to bed; night

1:47 am

mightyquin

new to this

2:35 am

Babbler

hehe, maybe if I wait, someone will monkey it into the chatterbox ; )

no worries, mightquin : )

2:36 am

FMitch

It does seem to be a problem with the beta site, not that I'm using it, still on the old one.

2:37 am

Marc Freeman

need a clue for il7 and 8 Thanks

2:39 am

Boysaway

Babbler, add a consonant to a word that means the opposite of alkali

2:39 am

Boysaway

Marc, they end in the same letters as the co8 and co9

2:40 am

Babbler

thanks, Boysaway : )

2:41 am

Marc Freeman

I don't have the co's

2:41 am

Babbler

2:42 am

Boysaway

okay, then word for unwell followed by last vowel, then a 3 letter word that means going somewhere by a certain route

2:43 am

Boysaway

Babbler, add a variant spelling of the e4/7

Haz1558

Good morning all. A short grid today - is it tricky?

2:59 am

Babbler

very tricky, Haz : /

any clues for the last lo6 please? thanks : )

3:01 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, - it's a reall little tinker today but there are some good words to be extracted with patience.

3:01 am

Kateq

good morning all

3:02 am

Babbler

morning, Kateq : )

3:02 am

Marc Freeman

Have to go to bed. Dead tired but a I would like one more clue at gl7/48

3:03 am

Haz1558

I've a feeling the list and all other resources will be used! I'm going to scroll backfor clues. And good morning Kateq.

3:03 am

Babbler

Marc, try gl plus an exotic flower, minus the r

3:03 am

Babbler

I hit the list very early, Haz : /

3:05 am

Marc Freeman

Babbler, perfect clue to end the nite. Only 30 to go.

3:05 am

FMitch

I got to about 45/50 words before hitting the list and ow am down to last 2 words. Didn't have time to finish yesterday's so got an early start on todays

3:06 am

Babbler

my pleasure, Marc. : ) sleep well

3:06 am

Babbler

FMitch, have you got the last lo6, by any chance? (it's my last word)

3:17 am

FMitch

3:18 am

Babbler

congrats, FMitch! aren't the fireworks lovely? : D

3:19 am

Babbler

aww, I looked at the Rankings page, and now my fireworks have gone. :'(

3:20 am

Haz1558

Well done FMItch !

3:27 am

FMitch

Couldn't say Babbler as am not using the beta site.

Thanks Haz :)

3:29 am

Haz1558

This is one of those grids where you want to rearrange the tiles a little.

3:31 am

FMitch

.. not just a little Haz

3:39 am

Jera

Good morning, all!

3:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jera!

3:39 am

Jera

Wow, the new site automatically flips to the new puzzle of the day... yet another cool feature!

3:40 am

Babbler

morning, Jera : )

3:44 am

corpsvalue

what is the new sit'es URL, please?

3:44 am

Jera

That s is in a very inconvenient spot..

3:45 am

Babbler

http://beta.playbabble.com/

3:45 am

Jera

http://beta.playbabble.com/

3:45 am

Jera

Take out spaces as usual

3:45 am

corpsvalue

thanks!

3:46 am

corpsvalue

i kept putting www in front of the URL

3:46 am

Jera

Yeah, me too.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Taking a break and will return.

3:48 am

Jera

Later, Haz!

4:18 am

ExWren

My first thought was, thank goodness for a small grid, but after scrolling back to read the chat, it seems as if it's not so clever?

4:18 am

Haz1558

Good morning ex-Wren - it's not an easy one today!

4:19 am

ExWren

I JUST managed to finish yesterday, well past my bedtime

4:20 am

Haz1558

Did you enjoythe fireworks?

4:20 am

ExWren

I see you are in 'the other' site this morning

4:21 am

ExWren

I'm old fashioned Haz, I'm working on the 'old' site, you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!

4:21 am

Jera

Greetings, Ex-Wren! Nasty little grid today...

4:22 am

Haz1558

Yes, I decided to embrace the change. The chat log box being above the chat means you can keep an eye on who has beaten you to giving a cl4/6 and the scroll features are good on the word list.

4:23 am

Jera

How can you tell if someone is in the old site?

4:24 am

ExWren

Morning Jera, still trying to decide whether to play, I expect I will though.
My screen isn't wide enough to accommodate the new site, I find it annoying to keep moving from side to side

4:24 am

Jera

Yes, that would indeed be annoying

4:24 am

Haz1558

The only way is by looking at 'Who's online' and if they are not there, but are appearing in the chat log, then they are in the old site.

4:24 am

Babbler

ex-wren, try cntrl - (minus) to make the screen smaller. (although that means you might be peering at the screen...)

4:25 am

Jera

Ahhh... I haven't plaued with all the bells & whistles yet

4:25 am

ExWren

Your icon doen't show Jera, just a plain white box, with a small red cross in the corner

4:25 am

Jera

Yes, if you are on the old site, icons that are updated at the new site will not appear

4:25 am

Jera

One of the reasons I crossed over!

4:26 am

Babbler

if you want your icons to show on the 'normal' and the beta sites, you have to update both. : /

4:27 am

Jera

I can't believe lu4/8 is valid...

4:29 am

Haz1558

It does kind of go against the grain, doesn't it?

4:30 am

Haz1558

But the three letters of the singular version appear quite a lot in different words today

4:31 am

Jera

I'm slowly & painfully finding that out Haz...

4:36 am

Jera

I have 4 like that... how many have you found, Haz?

4:37 am

Haz1558

So far 6 but am still working through.

4:37 am

Jera

I have e's & i's so far (2 of each)... can you point me to the other set? I can't make al work

4:38 am

Haz1558

co8/65 and co9/84

4:38 am

Jera

That's it! Thanks.. nice ones

4:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - if I find any more I'll sing out.

4:39 am

Jera

That's my 8's & 9's at least...

4:39 am

Jera

Nice for all thes vowels to be useful... & my latin is coming in handy today!

4:41 am

Haz1558

You can't knock a bit of latin!

4:42 am

Jera

Ooh, I remembered the al5/14 from another grid! I love it whn I do that!

4:44 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean. It gives a great feeling of satisfaction to spot them.

4:45 am

Jera

It means I'm actually like, you know, LEARNING! Always a thrill for me. My neurologist highly approves of this game for me!

4:45 am

Haz1558

Wouldn't it be fun if babble could be on prescription?

4:47 am

Haz1558

Then, when people compained, you could just say 'Following doctor's orders!'

4:49 am

Babbler

Jera, I'm sure my ability to concentrate has improved dramatically since I started playing Babble and Sudoku. Oh, and then there's that there learning too... : )

4:54 am

Haz1558

Well, I've finished with due assistance from Lickety's list and morewords. I'd better do some housework now even if it is not as helpful to the brain cells! Bye all and see you later.

4:54 am

Babbler

laters, Haz : )

4:55 am

Jera

Or if the house didn't get clean... but the doctor TOLD me to play Babble, LOL

4:55 am

Jera

Bye, Haz..

4:56 am

Jera

Sorry, I wandered off to do some Cinco de May research...

4:57 am

Jera

Well, I've made it to halfway, think I'll get a bit more sleep before the household needs to awaken... later!

5:01 am

Babbler

laters, Jera : )

amandacath

Hi all! This one looks icky...

5:12 am

lola100

good morning all : )

5:17 am

Jacula

Good morning! Another lovely, sunny day. Well, I've got to 45 words and now my Latin's failing me.

5:19 am

Jacula

Incidentally, we'll have to give 'hints', not cl4/6's today to avoid typing a word in the log.;)

5:19 am

amandacath

Hi Jac - you're doing better than me. I'm at 28 and have already started making up words...

5:19 am

lola100

lol! Hi Jacs : )

5:20 am

Jacula

Amanda - making up words is often the best way to find them! It worked for me with 'aithchbone' yesterday!

5:21 am

Jacula

*'aitchbone'.

5:23 am

lola100

Jacs, do you not call a cut of beef aitchbone out here? It's a word I've known since I was a child. 'Course, it still took me awhile to find it, lol!

5:23 am

amandacath

How true, how true - that was one where I shrieked out loud "you've got to be kidding"

5:23 am

Jacula

Possibly, Lola, but I've only heard of a 'T-bone'.

5:24 am

Jacula

'Brrr' made me shriek a bit, too, Amanda.

5:25 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey Everyone, What a lovely night for some word searching

5:25 am

lola100

Hey lickety! : )

5:25 am

licketySplitAUS

77 - lovely number!

5:25 am

Jacula

Lola - How's Anj these days? Does he still play? Never see him on the log now.

5:25 am

amandacath

that as well - although we've had it before, so it wasn't quite such a shock this time round. I still don't think it should be allowed, though.

5:26 am

Jacula

Hi, Lickety. That reminds me, I've got a word thing to mail you for your 'odd spot'.

5:26 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey lola! Nice to meet - sorry if we chatted before - My mind is like the kitchen sink, Full with Dishes!

5:26 am

licketySplitAUS

Cool Jacula - MrPresident manages those though - happy to pass it on - but best to use the email link.

5:27 am

licketySplitAUS

In fact she took one off today cause someone invalidated it

5:27 am

Jacula

Will do, Lickety.

5:27 am

Jacula

Invalidated it? What happened?

5:27 am

lola100

Jacs, he's fine. He's doing some serious job hunting at the moment, so not so much time for babble : (

5:27 am

licketySplitAUS

apparently there is more than one word with all vowels in right order. Fair Enough!

5:27 am

Jacula

Lola - Send him our best wishes.

5:28 am

Jacula

Lickety - Ah!

5:28 am

licketySplitAUS

I've got some stats!

5:28 am

licketySplitAUS

You know AtoZ list? Helpful for looking up words?

Babbler--Good Margaritas--Never had a bad one, just some are much better than others! And it's an excuse for a really good party! I've heard rumors there's a real historic significance, but is that really important when downing Margaritas? Nah, I didn't think so!

margaritas for everyone!

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i want "nilch" combination of nil and zilch...

10:48 am

cybernan

don't have either the co 8 or the el6

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

nan: think of the 3 letter in the grid that means by way of...all of those words use it

10:49 am

Frances

cybernan
IUf you have the co9 drop the last letter

10:51 am

Haz1558

cybernan - do you have the lu4/8 - a strange plural word. The first three letters occur in several words today, including the co8 and 9,il7and 8, el 6 and 7.

10:51 am

Bugzy

OK - the il8 - double the tall letter, then add vi4/7 (used in science labs)

10:51 am

cybernan

thanks, haz -- got all the 7's and the 8's

10:52 am

cybernan

whew! --- that was a good run!

10:53 am

Haz1558

It's nice when you get a whole string of words from one section of letters.

10:54 am

I have C7 and i7... can someone tell me which are the other 7s please?

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

d7 and e7 are two

10:55 am

Haz1558

el7/44, gl7/48, lo7/36

10:55 am

sprite

I mean... with what letters do they start :)

10:55 am

cybernan

clue for gl 7?

10:56 am

Haz1558

gl7- a clue given previously was to add a tropical flower, minus a letter

10:56 am

cybernan

thanks again haz

10:56 am

Haz1558

Or alternatively, g plus Scottish lake, and identification.

10:57 am

cybernan

lo 7?

10:57 am

sprite

works for me! That's C7, i7 and G7. Which ones am I missing, please?

10:58 am

Haz1558

lo7/36 extends the lo6/24 - therefore beginning and ending with the same letter

10:58 am

sprite

Sorry... log is slow in refreshing, I missed your answers! Thanks very much :)

capone

lol, not really about babble , just saw something in your profile that peaked my interest

11:08 am

capone

and before FK chimes in, NO, its not that!

11:08 am

Minski

godthaab - if you can't tell the difference you are not on the new site. They are very different.

How do I get to the new site?

11:09 am

Minski

11:09 am

cybernan

the new site is beta.playbabble.com

11:09 am

faeriekae

Capone are you telling Spirit that I'm a SBB?

11:09 am

Frances

http://beta.playbabble.com

11:09 am

capone

no FK, she prob alreay figured that out

11:09 am

cybernan

the old site is www.playbabble.com -- one has a green background the other has a blue one.

11:10 am

capone

speaking of SBB's, TSM you still here?

11:10 am

faeriekae

Probably so Capone....It is so obivious. :) "brup"

morning, Jera!

11:15 am

capone

these new fields are confusing

11:15 am

cybernan

faeriekae -- not to worry -- we're all having the same problem. I find it helps to get in the habit of returning the curser to the add word box after every entry in the chat log --- hurshy asked Dr. G to return to the submit button for the chat log, but I think he refused. If that's the case we'll just have to put up with it, I guess.

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm capone....

11:18 am

capone

*whew*, time to buy my mom something at the last minute, next weekend

11:18 am

Jera

Nope, but next week is Teacher Appreciation so they are partying for that next Friday. I would've switched the two myself, but they stopped asking my opinion (I give it, LOL)...

11:19 am

faeriekae

Capone 7-11 has lots of great gifts.

11:19 am

stidmama

faeriekae! the very idea! He should at least take time out to go to an internet flower supplier!

11:19 am

capone

whats a 7-11?

11:19 am

faeriekae

or Starvin Marvins.

11:19 am

Jera

Mothers' Day kinda sucks for me since my mother died on April 27th (8 years ago, but still)...

11:20 am

Off to the shop before I fall off my chair laughing

11:20 am

Suggestion for a gift for the mom that has everything --- a manicure or pedicure --- always great!

11:20 am

stidmama

ty Haz, now I have 26 words! (really zooming along now)

11:20 am

Jera

I have never had a manicure or pedicure in my life... sounds lovely...

11:20 am

11:20 am

hydra

co6/24, anyone?

11:21 am

abe79

jera, pedicures are quite lovely. highly recommend, as sandal season is approaching

11:21 am

stidmama

sorry hydra, don't have that one yet

11:21 am

cybernan

thanks, haz -- that finishes the l's for me.

11:21 am

Jera

I have ugly, deformed feet... I don't think a regular place would welcome me...

11:21 am

Haz1558

These words are hard to give hints for! Co plus last vowel plus Mr Marvin's first name.

11:22 am

stidmama

my feet are shaped like a duck's -- short and WWWIIIDDDEEE

11:22 am

stidmama

(who is Mr. Marvin?)

11:22 am

cybernan

co 6 /24: western american term for river valley "Grand Co**** Dam"

11:22 am

inge

Hydra, think of that co**** dam in the US west

11:23 am

stidmama

now that clue I got! I've been there!

11:23 am

hydra

oh, of course! 'The big grand co.... dam!' I'd never have
got that. Thanks, Haz!

11:23 am

Frances

stidmama
The one who was born under a wandering star

11:23 am

Haz1558

'I was born under a wandering star' and that explains why I have such a deep voice, Mr Marvin

11:23 am

Jera

I thought that dam had 2 sets of double vowels...

11:24 am

tndaisy1960

There's a street in Shasta Lake with the GC name, btw

11:24 am

inge

dont be picky, the word sounds like that, thats what matters.

11:24 am

cybernan

got to break and rest my eyes for a bit -- wish Dr. G would use something other than white against that blue border!

11:24 am

stidmama

later, nan

11:25 am

Haz1558

Bye cybernan.

11:25 am

11:30 am

Since I am done I have been switching between the two grid layouts. Find it easier to find clues in the old one, but harder to locate words in the done list.

11:30 am

Mary

ty, tndaisy, got it

11:30 am

tndaisy1960

I stole that from someone else, not mine:)

11:30 am

11:41 am

Aloyisius

Hi Babblers! I am really in the dark; I see references to a "new site" (I've been away a bit) , so I checked out the Dev. Log, but I don't see a new site listed. Can anyone tell me what's happening? BTW, I just finished the grid and would be happy to provide clues... thanks!

11:41 am

stidmama

it looks like the links were broken between the various changes... so I uploaded my shadow to the old site.

11:42 am

stidmama

beta.playbabble.com

11:42 am

Aloyisius

ok, stid... do I need to preface it with a "www"?

11:43 am

stidmama

I don't think so, Aloyisius

11:43 am

faeriekae

CONGRATULATIONS ALOYISIUS!!!!!!

11:48 am

walnutchen

11:48 am

Aloyisius

11:50 am

stidmama

yes, it is possible to resize the font in firefox, but we aren't sure about other browsers...

11:50 am

Minski

Still not gettnig the CO6. What do you mean by sound bad? Is there a swear word in it?

11:50 am

walnutchen

well, I like how its all in one box.

11:50 am

stidmama

YAY walnutchen!

11:51 am

walnutchen

Aloyisius

What happens when you add someone to My Friends?

12:07 pm

stidmama

not much -- but when you get online you can click on that tab and instantly see who's online (unless they're still on the old site)

12:09 pm

sprite

So Dr_G included fireworks in the new site? Nice!

12:09 pm

Dr_God

I think it's time to make the switch and make the beta site live after lunch.

12:09 pm

COOL

12:10 pm

12:10 pm

Minski

Great!

12:10 pm

That would be your lunch, not mine, I guess :)
Nice site, Dr_G, looks good and works fast and smooth.

12:10 pm

faeriekae

ROCK n' ROLL Dr_G

12:10 pm

Dr_God

Yeah. It's 12:10pm where I am. ;)

12:10 pm

stidmama

Hi Sprite! guess you finished then?

12:11 pm

stidmama

so that means we go back to just playbabble and no beta?

12:11 pm

sprite

Nope, I read the log. I just started, actually, I had dinner and am ready to roll now :)

12:11 pm

Dr_God

Is cybernan here?

12:11 pm

Minski

Since noone seems to need any help and it's 1:10pm and I still haven't eaten lunch, I think I'll sign off now. Later all.

12:11 pm

stidmama

Later, Minski -- :-)

12:13 pm

stidmama

I think nan went out for a bit.

12:13 pm

Dr_God

Does anyone know how to contact cybernan? The email I have for her is bouncing.

12:13 pm

faeriekae

sould we all log off or what Dr_G

12:14 pm

stidmama

I don't know how, sorry -- though the my friends box says she's still online...

12:14 pm

ExWren

Just three to go and I am at a standstill.
cl6/30; lo4/5 and lo6/24 are the ones I need

12:14 pm

abe79

lo 4/5 a math term

12:15 pm

stidmama

hi ExWren! cl 6//30: think of o**** newton-john and change the o to a c

12:15 pm

sprite

Isn't that Lo latin for "in a place" ?

12:16 pm

stidmama

there are two lo c/24... they start the same. the first ends with a tall hump letter and two vowels, the second has upside down n, tall consonant and a vowel

12:16 pm

sprite

And the Lo6 starts with a scottish waterpool. Then add the ending of the NewtonJohn CL word.

12:17 pm

abe79

the newton-john hints are my favorite today

12:17 pm

harpjane

Dr God, I can't seem to get the whole chat log up, when I click on the icon I 12:00 a.m. through 5:57 a.m. only. not all of the clues.

12:18 pm

ExWren

thanks mama. the cl one worked!

12:18 pm

hurshy

12:18 pm

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

sprite

But there is this button View Entire Chatlog

12:21 pm

Dr_God

The whole chat log doesn't load? That's odd.

12:21 pm

faeriekae

no the entire chat isn't showing

12:21 pm

Dr_God

It can be a loooong page sometimes, but it still should load in its entirety.

12:21 pm

faeriekae

I also noticed tht

12:21 pm

Dr_God

What browser?

12:22 pm

I think I'll finish on the beta site, and check out these fireworks

12:46 pm

lol, Sprite; i just copied and pasted your 'warning' to my friend Mary in our im window! :-P i don't think she'll heed it, mind you.....she loves word games!

Dr. G - is there any way to view the word list in alphabetical order?

12:48 pm

hurshy

what's the point total today, please?

12:48 pm

MikeyInBerlin

well, Mary Ellen; you just enter as many words as you can see in the puzzle grid, typing them into the little box beneath the grid, where it says 'Add Word'.....the words have to be made up of letters sequentially adjoining each other, and you can't use the same letter twice.....there are help pages linked to on this page, additionally, and people are very helpful with clues/hints! :-)

12:49 pm

girlfriend2008

has anyone gotten the 9/84 yet?? I am typing random letters...and it certainly is not making any sense. at all.

12:49 pm

sprite

Av6: protein found in uncooked egg white that binds to and inactivates biotin.

12:49 pm

rycaut

there is a set of words today i, e, and c that are all related

12:49 pm

1242 points hurshy- Hi All playing from my sisters computer & just saw my first FIREWORKS!!!! I'm so pleasedwith myself! Have a lovely weekend all - i'm just about to hit the bottle!!!!!!

12:50 pm

hurshy

co9 - if you take co6 and make it an adjective meaning cooperative (like professors), then change the eg to uv, you will have co9. cut off last letter for co8.

12:51 pm

chic

congrats, Snowy!

12:52 pm

snowyowl

Ty chic- I've waited so long for fireworks. LOL Dr_God perhaps a round of applause as well?

12:52 pm

12:52 pm

Rocky

co6?

12:53 pm

hurshy

are you asking for a clue, rocky, or suggesting to me? :)

12:54 pm

Rocky

no, I'm asking for a clue because I am trying to understand the co9 clue without co6 and have been unsuccessful.

12:54 pm

hurshy

oh shoot, i meant co7, not co6, in that co9 clue!

12:54 pm

hydra

You don't need the co6 in order to get the co9. They're not connected.

12:54 pm

Rocky

ok

12:54 pm

chic

hursh, co6/30 add the ev/4/7; take out vowel and add first vowel

12:55 pm

hydra

and the co7's not related, either.

12:55 pm

hurshy

sprite, do you have another c6/30?

12:55 pm

hurshy

oh, nvm sprite. thanks chic! i'm done.

12:55 pm

1:02 pm

Oh, poor hurshy. I missed the incident but I feel for you. Remember Dylan said, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

1:02 pm

Oh-oh... hurshy, looks like I missed some of the fun ;) Don't think I ever heard you say something unkind, though we often have a lot of fun. All in the play, right?

1:03 pm

cindasu

hurshy i just read it and sometimes i like a clue and sometimes not i read the exchange last night and though you were just playing so it did't unpset me :)

1:04 pm

mary ellen

No I live in the US

1:04 pm

hurshy

well it was play for me, but seems like some didn't take it that way, that is why i wanted to explain.

1:04 pm

sprite

That can be the problem with chat logs, that we see the words but cannot hear the tone of voice, nor see the expression on the faces. Explanation is good then ;)

1:04 pm

hurshy

ty cindasu. it's just some people said they were bothered and i didn't know how many more might be as well.

1:05 pm

Spread the love around!!

lol @ inge! That's a nice image you make there.

1:06 pm

hetty

Dear distressed hurshy--I've just read you message as requested and want to say please go on being your playful bubbly self. As one whoe fireworks last night were due only to a literally last minute clue from stidmama, I hope babblers will continue to exercise their own discretion about the acceptability of a clue under whatever circumstances. And toughen up your skin, sweetheart. It's only a game and we all love you.

1:07 pm

harpjane

you're cool with me, hursh

1:08 pm

inge

Actually Hurshy I was surprised by this a.m.s comments, since it did not involve any of the critics. Just let it blow over like the trolls. No hard feelings in any case. I enjoy your enthusiasm.

1:08 pm

1:09 pm

dr god, one difference i noticed is that after i downloaded the firefox upgrade that you recommended, most of the color is gone. just yellow tiles and black print, that's it.

2:39 pm

Angela

Hello all!

2:39 pm

hurshy

doc - do you think you're going to be able to fix the firefox "view entire chatlog" problem?

2:40 pm

Angela

Dr. G - just changed my icon also.

2:40 pm

Dr_God

hurshy-
I lied before when I said the icon thing was first on my list. The Firefox chat log display bug is 1st on my list.

2:40 pm

hurshy

lol

2:40 pm

faeriekae

Icons are no problem on my end

2:41 pm

hurshy

and should i hit "stop script" or "continue" when i get the unresponsive script message?

2:41 pm

bex777

is there going to be a button for the chat log?? :)

2:41 pm

Dr_God

hurshy-
It doesn't seem to matter. Both paths end in disaster I think.

Yes. It's the first time I've cursed Firefox and not Explorer. :\

2:45 pm

Dr_God

That is really bizarre. Is there any way you can send me a screen shot?

2:45 pm

hurshy

yeah - i don't want to have to switch back to explorer :)

Mac browsers don't do that. So I guess it's just another reason to get a Mac. :)

Oops - I think Haz has hic ups!!!!

What did I do? What did I do?

3:14 pm

chic

Haven't seen the X games? Mike aka as the Godfather is a champion motor biker. He did the first successful back flips back to back in the 2002 summer X games

3:15 pm

Judi

Lookin a little redundant there, Haz.

3:15 pm

Angela

Sorry - I'm completely uneducated when it comes to that stuff. Don't tell anyone but I actually like the lumberjack sports - and some baseball, but that's it.

3:16 pm

Haz1558

Did you see how the silence got longer all the time?

3:16 pm

sherb

is it me, or have the words in the Word List become much more compressed today? ...

3:16 pm

Angela

Haz - and who says you can't see silence, eh??

3:16 pm

hurshy

lol. haz, you are cute.

3:16 pm

tndaisy1960

sherb, it's not just you

3:16 pm

chic

Well, I know that you are into bikes.. Check out the summer X games in August. It'll blow your mind what they do on Bikes these days...

3:17 pm

Angela

Chic - I will do that for sure. Mostly my idea of extreme sport on my bike is watching out for NH potholes :)

3:18 pm

sherb

thanks daisy... so much change, I was beginning to doubt myself...

3:18 pm

chic

BTW, got IM yet?

3:18 pm

Angela

Not yet :)

3:19 pm

chic

only takes 5 min. :-P

3:19 pm

billmster

The new layout is elegant ,all info visible, the sliding word list is excellent

3:19 pm

Dr_God

The compressed word list is intentional, and is how it has always looked on Mac browsers. But I could never figure out why it was so spaced out on Windows browsers. I finally solved the problem as you can see. ;)

3:20 pm

Angela

Chic - Point taken :)

3:21 pm

Dr_God

Life without IM just ain't life.

3:21 pm

chic

OK back to the real world...later.....

3:21 pm

chic

there ya go, Dr G!

3:21 pm

Angela

Uh oh - Now I've got the Doc commenting on my lack of IM??? EEK!

3:21 pm

sherb

I applaud the quest for perfection... :)

3:22 pm

chic

LOL!

3:22 pm

Angela

Talk to you soon Chic! :)

3:23 pm

Judi

3:25 pm

bex777

im determind to get my first ever fireworks tonight!

3:25 pm

Haz1558

Judi - do you have the co7/40? If so, use the first four letters, add the last vowel, and then latin 'by way of. That gives you the co8

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

you go, bex!

3:25 pm

helenkeller

hi everyone

3:26 pm

Angela

Hello HK

3:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi hk!

3:26 pm

Judi

Haz, I'm a dope. I actually have the Co9. No Co7 or Co8 though. Are they similar to the 9?

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok no clues requested yet - just a general question: is there more than one word using the prefix in?

3:27 pm

hurshy

cut off letter for 8, 7 is university

3:27 pm

Haz1558

The co8 just takes away the last letter of the 9. The co7 is a place of learning.

3:27 pm

hurshy

no temple

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks hursh! : )

3:28 pm

hurshy

you're welcome! :) :) :)

3:28 pm

Judi

Thanks Haz & Hurshy. Got em. Now I'm just stuck with the first Co6/30 and the Co6/24.

3:28 pm

hurshy

(see how i try to smile more for you temple? :) )

3:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes! i noticed !

3:28 pm

sherb

hi helen :)

3:29 pm

hurshy

3:29 pm

sha

3:29 pm

bex777

bye sha!!!

3:29 pm

Angela

mmmm...You sharing Hursh?? :)

3:29 pm

sherb

nite sha :)

3:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol! the funny thing is, people do tend to come up to me and tell me to smile - i was a miserable little kid!

3:31 pm

hurshy

i was a VERY shy kid. and scared of everything. had to have my one year old sister go down the slide before me when i was five so i would know it was safe. fell on my bicycle once and didn't ride again for four years. :)

3:31 pm

hurshy

NOW i'm sharing, angela :)

3:32 pm

Angela

Wow...I should say so! hehe

3:32 pm

helenkeller

lol hursh - hard for me to believe that about you - clearly the years of therapy have paid off well, lol

3:32 pm

Angela

I meant the drugs, but hey... hehe

3:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey hursh: did you notice my cinco de mayo icon? a cat with sombrero!

3:32 pm

hurshy

AH - i did not, with the smallness, but now i can see it :)

3:32 pm

hurshy

and it's only been a year and a half of therapy - he's very good!

3:33 pm

Angela

Bravo to therapy man then - he's doing a fine job on you!

3:33 pm

helenkeller

hurshy - no kidding? really?

3:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

icon shopping was a chore not fun with small icons : ( and to think i thought i would hate themes!

3:33 pm

hurshy

yes... but i had gotten over the shyness before, like in high school.

3:34 pm

Judi

Just a thought - would prefer larger icons and lose the blue background.

3:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am still painfully shy - it manifests differently in adults

3:34 pm

Angela

blue background???

3:34 pm

hurshy

and it is easier to be uninhibited online.

3:35 pm

tndaisy1960

true hurshy...if it weren't for online...I wouldnt have any friends

3:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

whoops judi - i don't care for white log background on white background

3:35 pm

hurshy

judi - it isn't the background that is why the icons are small - if they are bigger, it apparently makes the site run slower, so doc wanted them smaller. but he is going to make it so we can see them bigger in the profiles.

3:35 pm

Judi

Yes, Angela. Don't you see the blue wavey background behind the white puzzle page?

3:35 pm

hurshy

mine is a graffiti of swiss cheese, in case anyone wants to know :)

3:36 pm

licketySplitAUS

morning/evening babblers!

3:36 pm

Angela

Oh... I don't really see it much. I have to scroll back and forth to see the log and the puzzle. Maybe my settings are wrong??

3:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

: ( cannot see it well enough to make it out...lickety!

3:36 pm

Angela

Gotta run to the grocery store real quick - BBL hopefully

3:37 pm

sherb

hi lickety !! :)

3:38 pm

Prof_Neptune

Angela-
Sounds like your monitor is set to 800x600. You might want to change that. Go to Start > Control Panels > Display, and change the resolution to 1024x768.
