2:54 am

3:00 am

Atalante

Haz1558

Hello there!

Hello Zenmed

An invasion of two!

3:40 am

Haz1558

Good morning Zenmed.

3:40 am

Atalante

and a spaniel

3:40 am

Haz1558

Indeed - bringing up the rear.

3:40 am

Ogdens Nut

Hi Haz,pink,groovy &Ata

3:40 am

Atalante

LOL yes

3:41 am

Atalante

Hobbit still hasn't recovered from her mad dash around the fields yesterday. she's just snoring and refusing to move

3:41 am

Ogdens Nut

& Hi to spangle

3:42 am

Atalante

lovely wiggle tr7/32

3:42 am

Haz1558

Thank you Zen.

3:43 am

Ogdens Nut

On this occassion Enable is okay; one cannot have a single entrail

3:43 am

Haz1558

It wouldn't feel wiggly if it was stuck in the right/wrong places.

3:43 am

Atalante

I'm sure you could have a single entrail if you tried *really* hard

3:44 am

Haz1558

If you followed the right sort of diet, do you mean?

3:44 am

Atalante

yes, maybe!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Not so much Atkins as the Single ENtrail diet.

3:44 am

Atalante

a gillian mckeith diet, or whatever her name is

3:45 am

Haz1558

You write it, Atalante, somebody's bound to buy it.

3:45 am

Atalante

ooo probably! I'll make a fortune!

3:46 am

Haz1558

I demand a cut, it was my idea.

3:46 am

GroovyKiwi

fireworks for me

3:47 am

Atalante

2% sounds good

3:47 am

Atalante

YAY groovy!

3:47 am

Haz1558

Well done Groovy!

3:47 am

pinkhatlil

yay for Groovy!!!!

3:47 am

GroovyKiwi

anyone need clues before i fall asleep and get keyboard face lol

3:47 am

Haz1558

2%? Do you think my name is Heather Mills?

3:48 am

Atalante

Hazel ... Heather ... near enough

3:48 am

Ogdens Nut

Ata, you're dealing with a ballymena woman here!

3:49 am

Haz1558

Zen - they don't realise that Ballymena has such a fearsome reputation. We take no prisoners when it comes to bargaining.

3:49 am

Atalante

LOL ok, 3% and an exclusive deal on the lo-cal strawberry and real chocolate (honest) cereal bars

3:49 am

NonoNanette

Morning babblers and congrats groovy

3:49 am

Ogdens Nut

They do now Haz

3:50 am

GroovyKiwi

good eve nono happy babbling

3:50 am

Haz1558

You'll never be able to sell the Single Entrail diet if there are strawberry and cereal bars to be had. This diet needs to make you suffer.

3:50 am

Atalante

hmmmm. ok. liver extract and prune bars then

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning Nono.

3:51 am

Haz1558

That's MUCH more like it. And then we could sell it to dogs as well.

3:51 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Nono

3:51 am

GroovyKiwi

ok going once for clues

3:51 am

NonoNanette

just got started so ok for now but thanks groovy

3:51 am

GroovyKiwi

going twice

3:52 am

GroovyKiwi

going three times

3:52 am

Atalante

lol yes! they could have those sterilised bones stuffed with liver extract and prunes

3:52 am

pinkhatlil

im ok thanks groovy

3:52 am

Haz1558

Go to bed, Groovy (she said kindly) and sleep well!

3:52 am

GroovyKiwi

gone - nite all sweetest dreams

3:52 am

Atalante

nite groovy!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Goodnight Groovy!

3:52 am

pinkhatlil

Good night GroovyKiwi

3:53 am

Atalante

or maybe pulverised leeches and prunes

3:54 am

Haz1558

No, I'm thinking the liver is good. Who are you going to get to pulverise leeches? There'd be animal protestors and all sorts.

3:54 am

Atalante

there's enough of the d**n things in streams down here! fresh, handpicked, free range leeches!

3:54 am

Haz1558

They'd be waving placards 'Let Leeches Live'

3:55 am

Atalante

might keep them busy and stop them harrassing everyone else LOL

3:55 am

Atalante

"Give leeches a chance" to the tune of "Give peace a chance"

3:56 am

Haz1558

And people swaying sympathetically.

3:56 am

Atalante

lighters aloft

3:56 am

Haz1558

Heather Mills would be in front.

3:56 am

Atalante

lol yes!!

3:57 am

Atalante

charity concerts would abound

3:58 am

Ogdens Nut

Poor Heather Mills

3:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, but how would the videos make leeches sympathetic?

3:58 am

Haz1558

She's not always going to be poor. Divorce will see to that.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Of course! They'll have to focus on the leech's charity work down the years.

3:59 am

Haz1558

And their contribution to sucking the gunk from wounds.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Really they should have been awarded the VC before now.

3:59 am

Atalante

all those lives saved ... and they have that "ew" value. people would money not to have to learn more about them

4:00 am

Atalante

wonder if the maltese leeches were included in the VC

4:00 am

Haz1558

And so we come back to enable - like enable, leeches are misunderstood....

4:00 am

Haz1558

Oh probably, Atalante - they would have to exempt the Maltese leeches on the basis that they were already covered for their WW2 contribution.

4:01 am

Atalante

perhaps the maltese cross is really 8 leeches intertwined

4:01 am

Haz1558

I think so!

4:02 am

Haz1558

Probably the Union Jack is composed of multi-coloured leeches, we just haven't looked carefully enough.

4:02 am

Atalante

mmmmm probably. is it cruel to dye leeches red, white and blue though?

4:03 am

Haz1558

The red are those for ordinary people, the blue for royalty (blue blood, don't you know) and the white ones are just anaemic.

4:04 am

Atalante

or maybe albino

4:05 am

Haz1558

Yes, I never thought of that. There are bound to be minorities represented.

4:06 am

Atalante

not sure how you'd get green and orange ones though for the Irish flag ... maybe green after drinking too much Guinness

4:06 am

Haz1558

So that's settled then. It's a 50/50 split of all profits from the Single Entrail Diet and we can brainstorm sometime on who we're going to get to promote it.

4:06 am

toadandtoadette

morning all

4:06 am

loredana

morning tand t

4:06 am

pinkhatlil

hi loredana, and t and t

4:06 am

toadandtoadette

hi lore

4:07 am

Atalante

sounds good! and a lawyer in case of leech issues

4:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning toad.

4:07 am

loredana

hey Pink

4:07 am

loredana

Morning Haz

4:07 am

Haz1558

It's funny that you should mention lawyers and leeches in the same sentence!

4:07 am

Haz1558

Good evening loredana.

4:08 am

loredana

thoroughly enjoying your wit Haz ... and Ata

4:08 am

Atalante

LOL! yes, very similar ...

4:08 am

Ogdens Nut

Very good Haz!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Well, that's cheered me up no end. And now, is there a grid?

4:09 am

Ogdens Nut

Ata, you gave in on the percentage cut very quick!

4:10 am

Atalante

well .... she can have the %, and the PR responsibilities for the leeches ;)

4:10 am

Haz1558

It just takes imagination. Anybody got Max Clifford's number?

4:11 am

Atalante

he'd be putting leeches on page 3 and in x factor before we know it!

4:13 am

Haz1558

Too downmarket, then.

4:13 am

Atalante

just call Heather

4:13 am

Haz1558

If I gave Paul a ring, would he help?

4:14 am

Atalante

probably. just to spite heather

4:14 am

Haz1558

No, I thought he might have her number.

4:15 am

Atalante

oh yeah, he might do. so might lots of telephone boxes if you believe rumours

4:16 am

Haz1558

Ooooh....

4:16 am

Atalante

which of course we don't *puts in important clause*

4:16 am

Ogdens Nut

Very funny, Ata!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Yes, because lawyers monitor the chat and you don't want to get on the wrong side of Cherie Blair!

4:17 am

Atalante

ack no, she's scary

4:18 am

Haz1558

Maybe misunderstood? Like enable?

4:19 am

Haz1558

No, she's just scary.

4:19 am

Ogdens Nut

Never mind the book, you two should do a double act on stage..

4:19 am

Atalante

LOL yes. maybe. and she probably has that rictus grin on her face constantly because she's on the entrail diet

4:20 am

loredana

good entertainment.... grid.... what grid!!!

4:20 am

Atalante

*looks* oh dear. we did rather take over the chat!

4:20 am

Haz1558

We'll not use her for promotion, then.

4:21 am

loredana

wonderful ata Mrs Blair is definately on the entrail diet her face gives it all away

4:21 am

Haz1558

Never give us anything stronger than tea to drink or we'll make eejits of ourselves.

4:21 am

Atalante

even more so than normal

4:23 am

Ogdens Nut

You two could be the new Morecombe and Wise

4:23 am

Atalante

what? old and dead?

4:24 am

Haz1558

I'd be the short one. But I'd still want 50%.

4:24 am

Ogdens Nut

Well, you could bring it all to life again

4:24 am

Atalante

50% if you demo the leeches yourself, seeing as we can't use cheri

4:25 am

Haz1558

We'd probably have done a better job than Ricky Gervais at the Diana concert....

4:26 am

Atalante

uhoh what did he do?

4:27 am

Haz1558

He was supposed to do a comedy routine, but he wasn't very funny. He was left a bit high and dry by having to fill in extra time, and let's just say his improvisational skills weren't very good.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Or maybe it was just me. He was brilliant in The Office, but he didn't really do it for me that night.

4:28 am

Ogdens Nut

Oh, please don't mention the Di woman; she's a worse publicity seeker than Heather Mills!

4:29 am

Haz1558

Well, she's dead now, it's others who are still making money out of her.

4:29 am

Ogdens Nut

Or was, rather!

4:30 am

loredana

Oh dear for a Zenmaster how could you put those two people in the same sentence???

4:31 am

Ogdens Nut

Master?, who said anything about master?

4:31 am

loredana

obviously not!!

4:33 am

Atalante

well they are / were both very good at drawing attention to themselves, put it that polite way

4:35 am

Lizsark

hello

4:36 am

Atalante

hi liz!

4:36 am

Haz1558

Hello liz!

4:36 am

Lizsark

I agree by the way... Ricky Gervais was AWFUL at the concert

4:36 am

Ogdens Nut

well, my stomach is now demanding that I shuffle off for breakfast, bfn

4:36 am

Haz1558

Thank you Liz, it wasn't just me then.

4:37 am

Haz1558

See you later, Zen!

4:37 am

Lizsark

no Haz I was cringing watching him

4:38 am

greenbayladi

good morning all

4:38 am

loredana

Haz I saw it myself and I would agree with you... I did think Elton and Rod Stewart were great for the oldies oh and of course Tom Jones

4:38 am

Lizsark

hi greenbay

4:38 am

loredana

Hello Lizsark

4:39 am

Haz1558

I thought that being an experienced stand-up comedian he would have had more material, I then wondered if the fluffing WAS the routine, in which case it wasn't funny.

4:39 am

Lizsark

my thoughts exactely haz

4:39 am

pinkhatlil

hi lizsark, greenbayladi....bye zenmed

4:39 am

Lizsark

it started off ok with the other guy from the Office but it went rapidly downhill from there

4:39 am

loredana

morning greenbay

4:40 am

Haz1558

I didn't see the Tom Jones bit, but he's reliable. His hair can now be described as thought-provoking, especially the facial variety.

4:40 am

Lizsark

No I didn't start watching till after that

4:41 am

Lizsark

I didn't like the Elton John ending bit either

4:41 am

Lizsark

didn't think he chose his songs very well

4:41 am

Haz1558

I don't think he chose his tailor very well.

4:41 am

Lizsark

LOL

4:41 am

loredana

yes I totally agree I must admit i like to listen to Tom but not look, and Rod well I never fancied him when I was young but loved his voice,looking at him now he must be 60 odd hes doing okay maybe botox lol

4:41 am

Atalante

elton john? does he ever?

4:42 am

loredana

I liked Elton in the opening I must admit i feel asleep and didnt see the end finished here 5am

4:42 am

Lizsark

he's 62 I think Loredana

4:42 am

Haz1558

Rod has Penny to keep him young.

4:43 am

loredana

Yep guess so those young girls keep him fit.

4:44 am

Haz1558

That and the alimony payments to the other wives - he has to keep going!

4:44 am

Lizsark

I liked Take That *blush*

4:45 am

Atalante

I didnt watch it! *gasp* does that make me a bad person?

4:45 am

Haz1558

Apparently it's okay to like Take That again, so you needn't blush.

4:45 am

loredana

what didnt watch the show Ata??

4:45 am

Haz1558

Not a bad person, Atalante, just misunderstood.

4:45 am

Lizsark

LOL Haz ty

4:46 am

Atalante

*joins hands with enable*

4:46 am

Lizsark

its ok not to have watched it Ata, so long as you were playing babble instead ;-)

4:46 am

Haz1558

Now you know how enable feels. You'll be a more sympathetic person from now on!

4:46 am

Atalante

ha ha right!

4:47 am

Lizsark

rate

4:47 am

Lizsark

sorry

4:47 am

loredana

lol liz

4:48 am

Haz1558

Well, I must take a break but will return to find some words. Bye for now.....

4:48 am

Atalante

ok. I PROTEST. mitrate is a word. I hate enable. one of my close friends works on mitrates. they are little fossil things

4:49 am

Lizsark

I know Ata! Quite often I find REAL words that it wont accept

4:49 am

loredana

see you later Haz

4:49 am

Haz1558

That sympathy thing didn't last long....

4:49 am

toadandtoadette

ata what are you talking about "enable"?

4:49 am

Haz1558

Byee!

4:49 am

Atalante

the sympathy thing never started!

4:49 am

Lizsark

Atalante

5:05 am

loredana

yes I love it yes it is beautiful and even if i might be biased nz does have some keen sailsmen and boats

5:05 am

Atalante

I got really into it in the run-up to 2000. I was in NZ a lot then, and spending a good amount of time lurking round AUckland Harbour watching Black Magic do its trials. I was immediately hooked!

5:06 am

loredana

So this tragic event has only happened recently?

5:06 am

Atalante

well, 1999. is that still recent?

5:07 am

Atalante

5:11 am

Atalante

I wish! LOL well, I'm 33. And my life changed dramatically in 1999, so I was 25. ok, well, maybe a quarter. I still can't do maths :)

5:12 am

Deeha

exactly Half my age then but I still feel 21 - well - 41!!!!

5:12 am

Atalante

you don't want to feel 21! far too young and insecure!

5:13 am

Deeha

very true I didnt get much confidence till I was in my 40's

5:15 am

Atalante

everyone says oooh I'd love to be 21 again. I wouldn't!

5:17 am

pinkhatlil

i guess i'll be saying exactly the same words when i reach somewhere between yours an deeha's age.

5:18 am

Atalante

I think everyone has their "right" age, when you realise who you are

5:19 am

Atalante

oops! brb. dog pestering for walk :) in the rain ....

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Hello gang. I reviewed the chat, and, Deeha, I agree about life in one's 40's. I finally felt like and adult and a confident one in my early 40's. It has been very liberating.

Featherbee--I just had a dream about you! I came to visit you in the hospital. I said, "Do you know who I am? It's me, Scrabbler." You and your boy were doing well.

What did you call the Frenchman who was shot out of a cannon?

I don't know....

Well, 77 down, 133 to go, and time to get ready for work. I shall return later today. Enjoy the day. Happy Independence Day tomorrow!

6:12 am

carleekat

later scrabbler

6:12 am

Haz1558

Bye Scrabbler.

6:12 am

Ogdens Nut

Haz, did you notice the other day that enable would not accept the word "thran" - one of my favourites?

6:12 am

featherbee

bye scrabs

6:13 am

Haz1558

It may be a spelling thing, I would usually put a w in there to make it thrawn. I'll check it out.

6:13 am

pinkhatlil

bye scrabbler

6:13 am

featherbee

it would accept thrawn if it was in there

6:14 am

Haz1558

Zen - i googled it, it gives thrawn as Scots for perverse, contrary. We await enable's verdict!

6:15 am

Ogdens Nut

The w would change the pronunciation though; like to rhyme with drawn instead of dan

6:15 am

carleekat

hehehe..speaking of mork...robin williams on larry king tonight

6:16 am

Haz1558

I think the pronounciation varies quite a lot though. I know I pronounce it thran to rhyme with dan.

6:16 am

Ogdens Nut

yeah, I've never heard it pronounced otherwise

6:17 am

Haz1558

And sure when did English/Scots/Irish ever conform to those sorts of rules anyway?

6:18 am

emtiandeca

re7/32 please

6:18 am

Haz1558

re7/32 describes the colour of what a dog wags

6:18 am

Ogdens Nut

I've just realised I've never seen the word written down; just know it orally; so just assumed the spelling.

6:18 am

emtiandeca

duh... thanks haz

6:19 am

Haz1558

Which is another reason for the Ulster Scots thing being a bit of a nonsense - it's an oral dialect rather than a written, different language.

6:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome emt.

6:20 am

Ogdens Nut

yes, it looks very silly when written down.

6:22 am

Haz1558

One of my faviouite stories about the Ulster Scots translation thing was when a Health Board paper about mentally handicapped children had to be suppressed when it was realised that the children were referred to as 'big dafty weans'

6:22 am

carleekat

hehehe... that funny haz

6:22 am

Ogdens Nut

LOL!

6:23 am

Haz1558

You have to laugh, don't you?

6:23 am

carleekat

whenever I read scots... I think of outlander/ cross stitch..and jamie...

6:24 am

evanonut

course i laugh! but then i listen to the distorted view, so i'm going to hell anyway.

6:24 am

Ogdens Nut

political correctness gone crazy...

12:00 pm

featherbee

i hate bee stings. when i was a kid i'd step on one every summer. still didn't teach me to wear shoes outside though.

12:00 pm

Tecnogrrl

swelling gone down?

12:01 pm

Tecnogrrl

Saw it in last night's log

12:01 pm

stidmama

12:01 pm

12:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

ata, i had to take both benadryl and also claritin for mine.....o

12:01 pm

Atalante

the p words are anagrams of each other

12:02 pm

Atalante

yay for benadryl. I love that stuff

12:02 pm

doxy1lover

Fireworks. Very cute video today.

12:02 pm

stidmama

12:02 pm

pida 1

WTG !!!!doxy...well done

12:02 pm

stidmama

YAY doxy!

12:03 pm

doxy1lover

have to go get some housework (ugh) done. see you all tomorrow.

12:03 pm

magzel

thanks featherbee

12:03 pm

featherbee

did you just get stung ata? put either mud or a paste of baking soda and water on it.

12:04 pm

Tecnogrrl

ohh, sounds like you need a shot of epinephrine...gives you a jolt of adrenaline, but takes care of things fast

12:04 pm

featherbee

draws the stuff out

12:04 pm

Tecnogrrl

bye Doxy!

12:04 pm

stidmama

see you doxy...

12:04 pm

Atalante

a few hours ago, now, feather. horrid nasty bee!

12:05 pm

stidmama

yes, the allergic reaction you are talking about atalante sounds like you might want to consult a physician...

12:05 pm

featherbee

try the paste anyway. or mud. ice is good too.

12:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

ata, are you feeling anything other than a local reaction?

12:05 pm

Tecnogrrl

if it's been that long you're probably o.k.

12:05 pm

stidmama

also -- bees and wasps and hornets all have slightly different chemical compositions...

12:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

if not, try combination - antihistamine and beta blocker = benedryl and claritin (lotrimien or that ever generic)

12:06 pm

Atalante

I'm ok. Just a bit fuzzy I think

12:06 pm

stidmama

I have to watch very carefully after I am exposed to cow products... swelling, difficulty breathing and such often last and can worsen for me over 24 to 36 hours.

12:07 pm

stidmama

*worried look* atalante, do you have a call-in line for a nurse who can consult with you?

12:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i must go - ata , i hope you feel better. don't take it lightly, i got hives on back sevral hours after sting and neded to go to ER

12:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

ATA - notkidding if you have systemic symptoms go at once

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i must go now. see you late tonight

12:10 pm

Tecnogrrl

I had the same thing happen when I stepped in a fire ant nest, even though they bit my foot, my face and neck swelled and couldn't breath well

12:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is the danger, the hives on my back could have progressed to my throat, per doctor, actually they refused to see me in office and sent me to hospital.

12:12 pm

stidmama

{{{Atalante}}}

12:13 pm

Atalante

Ogdens Nut

Thanks Haz, I'll particulary enjoy the Sahara dessert..bye

1:51 pm

Haz1558

Bye Zen - my sympathy, Atalante. I was bitten by a wasp a few years ago and couldn't believe how sore it was.

1:52 pm

Atalante

its silly, so much hurt from a tiny thing!

1:53 pm

Haz1558

But it WAS evil, so maybe it's worse than most.

1:54 pm

Atalante

probably! it literally flew straight up to me, sat on my arm and stung me!

1:54 pm

Haz1558

Did you hear the 999 music starting up in your head? The programme that convinced you not to leave your home, ever, in case something awful happened.

1:55 pm

Atalante

after the Jaws theme stopped when the bee flew off

1:55 pm

Haz1558

I actually had to call an ambulance yesterday from my mobile phone when a youth collapsed in front of my car!

1:56 pm

tinks

Hi all! I have to sympathise Ata - I was stung by a wasp while asleep one night many moons ago now. I'm not alergic but it was very uncomfortable - it got me on my bum!

1:56 pm

FMitch

Ouch tinks

1:56 pm

Atalante

1:56 pm

Tecnogrrl

1:57 pm

tinks

Hee hee - it's funny now I think about it, wasn't at the time

1:57 pm

Haz1558

1:58 pm

CsCdeFounder

thanks

1:58 pm

Haz1558

It was all a bit surreal, but I don't think he was too seriously hurt. I had to move my car to let the ambulance through so I don't know what happened in the end.

quick question for everyone who wants to weigh in

2:08 pm

Lizsark

hi lynxxx & Knight

2:09 pm

Tecnogrrl

hi knight!

2:09 pm

KnightTime

in solving the grid do you find the word size, e.g. 4 or 5, or 6 or the word points, i.e. higher points mean more obscure letters to be the more dificult factor

2:09 pm

lynxxx

Hi Knight. what does delta mean in yr statistics?

2:09 pm

Jellen

hi, knight

2:09 pm

KnightTime

delta is the change in count from one day to the next

2:10 pm

KnightTime

delta for today is 23

2:10 pm

FMitch

I just try to find any words I can in any order Knight

2:11 pm

Haz1558

Knight - it really depends if it's a known word or not. There can be strange words with single point letters, and normal words with high points.

2:11 pm

Tecnogrrl

I don't even notice points or size, just take them as I find them, then fill in the blanks watching chat

2:12 pm

Tecnogrrl

but since I've never finished a grid....ha ha

2:12 pm

Lizsark

TY Knight. both are as useful

2:13 pm

KnightTime

ok, thanks

2:13 pm

KnightTime

i am working on a degree of difficulty formula

2:13 pm

KnightTime

right now i am treating size and points the same

2:14 pm

KnightTime

but my quess is that points make the word more difficult, in general, than size

2:14 pm

Fiber Art

A lot of us wear loose slacks

3:33 pm

hetty

BettyAnne, your pic looks like one of thetwo lakes I just visited--Crater and Tahoe--but I guess it's in Colorado eh ?(I am after all a Canadian)

3:33 pm

BettyAnne

I'm happy to be in this club.

3:33 pm

Fiber Art

And sensible shoes

3:34 pm

Fiber Art

I thought Crater Lake, too, but I'm voting for Tahoe.

3:34 pm

Tecnogrrl

Hetty, I live a little over an hour from Crater

3:34 pm

hetty

that is when we wear shoes at all

3:34 pm

BettyAnne

It is in Colorado not far from where I live. I lived in CA for a very long time and loved Tahoe.

3:34 pm

Fiber Art

What a fabulous sight Crater Lake is!

3:34 pm

Tecnogrrl

too small for Tahoe

3:35 pm

Atalante

I dont wear shoes either :)

3:35 pm

Fiber Art

You're right, Tecnogirl.

3:35 pm

Tecnogrrl

I am going to tahoe for 2 weeks in Aug/Sep

3:35 pm

Fiber Art

My feet demand arch supports. I need Babble support, too

3:35 pm

BettyAnne

I wondered just how far the fire was from the lake.

3:35 pm

inge

Hi, BettyAnne, I am one of the senior club as well!

3:36 pm

Tecnogrrl

I don't wear shoes and when I do, they are as bare as possible

3:36 pm

BettyAnne

Good to know Inge.

3:36 pm

Atalante

see? feel better now, bettyanne :):)

3:36 pm

hetty

Gee tecno, had I known that we'd have dropped in (to see you, not in the lake) We couldn't drive all around this time--too much snow; we stayed at theCrater Lake B&B at the South end

3:37 pm

BettyAnne

I sure do. Also, this is the first time I have actually conversed so much. It is fun.

3:37 pm

Tecnogrrl

I haven't been to Crater yet, Hetty, we keep meaning to go, but just haven't yet

3:37 pm

Fiber Art

We blew a couple of bucks and stayed one night at the Lodge.

3:37 pm

Fiber Art

Hetty, were you just there? We were there about two weeks ago

3:37 pm

Tecnogrrl

Is the lodge more $$ than the B&B?

3:37 pm

Fiber Art

OOh boy. Well, $200 plus tax. Out of our range normally

3:37 pm

hetty

Betty Ann, the firs was at the south end of the Lake, where we had just spent time with our goddaughter and family (Richardson)--fortunately their own cabin escaped--this time

3:38 pm

Tecnogrrl

ouch...we would need a place that allows dogs

3:38 pm

Fiber Art

Dogs no. Mosquitoes, yes.

3:38 pm

BettyAnne

Wow! Glad they ecaped. Fires are awful.

3:38 pm

hetty

Fiber we were there june 16 and 17

3:38 pm

Tecnogrrl

can't leave the pups alone

3:39 pm

Fiber Art

We were there June 18!

3:39 pm

Fiber Art

We nearly met in the elevator, Hetty

3:39 pm

Fiber Art

Were you wearing your Babble shirt?

3:39 pm

Tecnogrrl

wow, so close in time, maybe you passed on the road!

3:40 pm

Fiber Art

I would have loved to drive all around the rim, but that road was closed

3:40 pm

hetty

The Lodge is certainly more $$ than our lovely B&B (email me if you want more details ). Wejust sat in the grear room and pretended we could afford to spend the night there

3:40 pm

Tecnogrrl

I thought they opened the road before memorial day?

3:40 pm

hetty

*great room

3:41 pm

Fiber Art

It depends. The north road was open, but not the one on the east rim

3:41 pm

TheLegend

re7,32 anyone?

3:41 pm

Tecnogrrl

hubby won't stay at B&B's...he's a privacy freak and non-social

3:41 pm

hetty

They usually do. They had had a big snowfall June 13

3:41 pm

Fiber Art

re7--color plus dog wagger

3:41 pm

Tecnogrrl

it's a kind of bird, Legend...a color + a dog's behind

3:42 pm

TheLegend

3:43 pm

3:43 pm

Fiber Art

ri 6,21 after the social uprising and before the spiritual one?

3:43 pm

Fiber Art

I noticed on our trip that it was always the woman who had maps, directions, phone numbers, etc.

3:44 pm

Jellen

3:44 pm

Fiber Art

thanks, Jellen!

3:44 pm

3:46 pm

Jellen

3:46 pm

Minveryork

3:47 pm

Jellen

3:48 pm

Jellen

ty, hetty

3:48 pm

hetty

Fiber, I know there was a reason I should have bought a babble t-shirt. Darn. t think how close we must have come to many of you--there's a babbler in Coos Bay, frinstance, also

3:50 pm

Fiber Art

We really need to unite.

3:50 pm

Tecnogrrl

yup, Hetty, I don't get out much, so when I suggest a place and can make it a non-weekend thing he will go even though I know he hates it

3:50 pm

Atalante

where in Canada is Salt Spring Island, hetty? And are there really salt springs there?

3:50 pm

Tecnogrrl

I was trying to remember the Coos Bay guys name...I can't!

3:51 pm

Fiber Art

I see people doing Sudoku, which is another passion, but there are too many of them. But if I saw a Babble shirt wearer, I would say "hey!"

3:58 pm

hetty

Atalnte, our island was named for the salt springs found on it. You can read all abut the Gulf Islands at the official website<www.gufislands.com>; they are part of the same archipelago as the San Juan Islands of Washington State--in fact the San juans' are closer to our earlier home on Vancouver Island than the Gulf Islands are!

5:19 pm

Mom

I don't think I have ever been here when the chat has not "chatted" for a full five minutes.

5:20 pm

weegee

Mom, shhh... you'll invite trolls

5:20 pm

KnightTime

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

Mom

Yes, it is a bit lively in the morning

5:21 pm

Minveryork

ri 6/21-ri + first 4 letters to be late ****y KnightTime.

5:22 pm

Minveryork

5:22 pm

Karys

5:22 pm

KnightTime

5:23 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations KnightTime on fireworks!Good for U!

5:23 pm

5:23 pm

Karys

Congrats Knight !!!

5:23 pm

weegee

Congrats Knight... you'll be my inspiration to finish

5:23 pm

KnightTime

thanks, question for all you power players

5:23 pm

Buttonman

HELP>>>>>>>I just droppedall of my 152 words from my Licetey's Babble clue word

5:24 pm

Mom

oh Buttonman, :(

5:24 pm

KnightTime

in terms of finding words in the grid, do you find the length of the word to be a more difficult factor, or do you find the obscurity, i.e. point value of the word to be a more limiting factor

5:24 pm

Buttonman

what to I do to restore them without typing them all over again into the list...?

5:24 pm

weegee

just copy your word list back in via bulk add button

5:25 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman, copy your words from Babble and do the bulk/add grab on Lickety's list. I do that all the time!

5:25 pm

Karys

length for me Knight

5:25 pm

Buttonman

how do I do that?

5:25 pm

Mom

the length of the word for me Knight

5:25 pm

Karys

snap ! Mom

5:26 pm

Mom

lol, Karys

5:26 pm

Mom

quite a lag in the chat here

5:26 pm

KnightTime

would you save 60/40, 70/30, etc for length/points

5:26 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman,highlight all your words from Babble.Then go to Lickety's and click on bulk/add grab and paste your words into the box and click add bulk. It works!

5:27 pm

Karys

I don't work to a system Knight, just whatever comes

5:28 pm

weegee

neither, Knight... the last ones I find are usually diagonals going southeast to northwest and around in circles, lol!

5:28 pm

Karys

except that I try to go as far as possible without th list

5:29 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman, did you do what I said for you to do? Did it work?It's a great feature I discovered not long ago

5:29 pm

weegee

ditto Karys, but before I went pro (recently) I did without the tile stats and now find that even more helpful than the list, feels like cheating somehow to know they're no more p's, for example

5:29 pm

smaller

would someone please tell my fingers that kitten is not in the grid. no matter how many times they enter it

5:29 pm

Mom

lol Smaller

5:29 pm

hurshy

i can only find two k's so far, ugh

5:30 pm

Minveryork

Hello smaller!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:30 pm

Mom

you are one up on me Hurshy

5:30 pm

hurshy

oooh, 3

5:30 pm

Karys

5:30 pm

knight - oh. is that purchasable like a babble t-shirt

5:32 pm

smaller

mom - may i have my afternoon cappaccino and chocolate cake please? i've been good all day

5:32 pm

weegee

I will not not not not let a sixth cat in here. Maybe I should post a sign. You said yours read, didn't you hurshy?

5:32 pm

KnightTime

for example, hurshy just wrote
"i can only find two k's so far, ugh" so that tells me obscurity is more of a factor than length of word

5:33 pm

hurshy

mine do seem to be able to read...

5:33 pm

Karys

not with 'k's Knight...they are a world on their own !!!

5:34 pm

Mom

Yes, Smaller ... **here you go, with a scoop of ice cream in a bowl if you want it**

5:34 pm

KnightTime

see i didn't have any trouble finding the k's i just used the point values and monkeyed them

5:34 pm

smaller

oh ty ty ty ty

5:34 pm

hurshy

well sure, if you are using the list...

5:35 pm

Mom

I don't have point values to work from, mine is just a guessing game

5:35 pm

KnightTime

true

5:35 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the ed 6/21 word please

5:35 pm

Karys

but I am not that clever Knight !!!...multitasking yes...points no !!!

5:35 pm

weegee

but knight, when we start w/o the list.... we're just depending on how much we've read and remember... passive vs active vocab and all that

5:35 pm

KnightTime

works at a newspaper minver

5:35 pm

Mom

some one in charge of a magazine or a newspaper

5:35 pm

hurshy

what can you do, really, knight... canvas all of english literature to find out how often each word is used?

5:36 pm

Karys

this is true...if we don't do the list, we don't know the points

5:36 pm

KnightTime

no, just trying to understand the various strategies players use

5:36 pm

dilly

extend ed4

5:36 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the ed 6/21 word. Should have seen it!

5:36 pm

KnightTime

you don't know the points frmo the list, but you do know them from chat

5:36 pm

hurshy

well there's non-pro non-list - that would be REALLY hard...

5:37 pm

hurshy

pro non-list

5:37 pm

hurshy

non-pro list

5:37 pm

KnightTime

yes, for me that would be nigh impossible

5:37 pm

hurshy

and pro list

5:37 pm

Buttonman

I can't get my words back up from the list so I will toss in the towel for today unless there is some way to recover

5:37 pm

renfield

my strategy is called "cheat"

5:37 pm

KnightTime

buttonman, highlight all the words in the word list

5:37 pm

hurshy

then there's whether you use atoz, or morewords...

5:37 pm

renfield

i "cheat " smaller out of her chocolate all the time

5:37 pm

KnightTime

then right click copy

5:38 pm

Mom

I just checked the list and it has point values after the number of letters

5:38 pm

hurshy

there are a LOT of variations to how people play

5:38 pm

KnightTime

go to lickety, scroll to near the bottom, and click in the bulk add area

5:38 pm

KnightTime

right clik paste

5:38 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman, did you see my post from before. Do you have your word list in Babble website? You can do it!

5:38 pm

Mom

** passes Ren chocolate cake **

5:38 pm

KnightTime

then click the bulk add button

5:38 pm

renfield

:) thanks mom

5:38 pm

smaller

MOM!!!!!! that's my cake!!!

5:39 pm

renfield

5:39 pm

Minveryork

Hello renfield!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

5:39 pm

Mom

sure thing, ice cream in on the counter, help yourself.

5:39 pm

Mom

It is another piece Smaller

5:39 pm

KnightTime

true hurshy, but my guess is that those who consistently get fireworks employ a consistent strategy

5:39 pm

smaller

*grumble* You've always loved renny more!

5:39 pm

renfield

thanks min! i'm taking smaller's cake

5:39 pm

smaller

whatever

5:39 pm

Minveryork

Buttonman I said the same thing KnightTime is saying

5:39 pm

renfield

ok - i'll share -

5:39 pm

hurshy

but we each have our own

5:40 pm

KnightTime

my guess is hurshy, that there is a lot of similarity among player strategies

5:40 pm

Mom

Hands smaller a tissue, now now, I love you both

5:40 pm

smaller

No, renny! you always say that in front of Mom for points and then take it away when she's not looking.

5:41 pm

hurshy

i think if you wanted to track difficulty you'd just have to poll finishers, ask them to rate it 1-10 or something

5:41 pm

KnightTime

true, this is not scientific at all, just empiric

5:41 pm

smaller

mom, don't let her altruism fool you!

5:41 pm

Mom

If I worked towards fireworks I would not have a life and the house would be condemned lol

5:41 pm

renfield

:) - sweet lil ol' me?

5:41 pm

Mom

5:42 pm

smaller

5:43 pm

renfield

5:44 pm

Mom

am I going to have to do to you what i did with the boys? Go sit on the sofa and hold hands and remember that once I am gone it will just be the two of you and you will only have each other.

5:44 pm

smaller
