Maybe one of you (or all of you) can explain to me why people can't access my flickrs when I give them my name (jillibus 2003). And today I wanted to send a comment to someone, was told to log in, which I did, and they said it was erroneous. But I can get to my pix. I can't find a "Help" or any way to ask questions on the site. Baffling.

2:48 am

Atalante

jilli, the name thing is an odd one with flickr. you need to give your friends the link to the photos, not the name

2:49 am

Atalante

then if you go to "my account" you can set up the link to your photos as www.flickr.com/photos/jillibus2003

2:50 am

jillibus

thanks, ata -- but then what about not being able to log in so that one can send a comment?

2:51 am

erm dunno on that one!

jilli, it's a yahoo login, so same as your yahoo acct, if you have one.

about as user-friendly as vista, I guess

3:02 am

Hello all, working undercover here.

Atalante

3:33 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, FMitch and Haz

3:33 am

dcseain

i remember having to get out of the way of cars on streets like this:
http://tinyurl.com/2wlfqp

3:33 am

Haz1558

You see? Atalante knows which buttons to press....

3:33 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear this sounds like a dangerous mission

3:33 am

Atalante

hahaha knew that would get you out of the woodwork, fm!

3:33 am

FranMag

hi FM!

3:33 am

dcseain

hi, fm and haz!

3:34 am

FMitch

Rats LOL ATA
Good morning all

3:34 am

Haz1558

Atalante, did you see Imran in hiding last night?

3:34 am

FranMag

cool dc, like some streets in Florence

3:34 am

Atalante

Hopefully no-one saw him if he was in hiding, otherwise he wasn't hiding very well!

3:35 am

FranMag

are all the Ls LAs?

3:35 am

Atalante

I saw that he vanished the other day, and was presumed to be in hiding

3:35 am

Haz1558

Well, the BBC cameras had found him.....

3:35 am

FMitch

Have you got more men stashed away at your place Haz?

3:35 am

FranMag

why is he in hiding?

3:35 am

Atalante

The BEEB get everywhere!

3:36 am

Haz1558

He's in hiding from the mad Colonel - had to scale a wall to get away. Whereever he's hiding, razor blades and combs aren't available.

3:36 am

Atalante

was he looking haggard and torn, yet ruggedly handsome?

3:36 am

BabbleRabble

yes, Fran

3:36 am

Haz1558

I'd have given him shelter, put it like that.

3:36 am

dcseain

yes, all LAs

3:37 am

Atalante

its not on the bbc website. interesting

3:37 am

FranMag

thanks dc and babrab

3:37 am

Haz1558

Maybe he's begged them to keep his whereabouts a deadly secret, if they clock the wallpaper on the walls it may be identified.

3:38 am

Atalante

aha yes it is, I found it. but it won't load! conspiracy!

3:38 am

FMitch

Is this to do with the situation in Pakistan?

3:38 am

Haz1558

I think so, Atalante.

3:38 am

Atalante

yup

3:39 am

herinfernallady

yah

3:39 am

herinfernallady

they have all gone to bed

3:39 am

Haz1558

Yes, FMitch - seems there's a lot of opposition stirring and Imran has had to flee.

3:39 am

Atalante

otherwise he'd be slung in jail and be even more in need of a comb

3:39 am

Haz1558

Everyone in Pakistan has gone to bed? A new form of protest? We've had sit-ins before.....

3:40 am

FMitch

Ahh, was up on the general situation but not on the hairy hunk.

3:41 am

Haz1558

The hairy hunk is hairier than usual, but retaining his hunkiness.

3:41 am

witchy

haz has George arrived back safely?

3:41 am

FMitch

lol Haz to yr previous. Oh BRB Door bell summons

3:41 am

Atalante

aha, vid is only his voice. his hairiness must have been censored

3:42 am

Haz1558

No, he hasn't. And I don't want to sound impatient, but this situation is not on.

3:42 am

herinfernallady

dc u here?

3:42 am

Atalante

I'd just concentrate on Imran for a bit

3:42 am

Haz1558

He is going to be needed for my forthcoming book tour (which FMItch is going to arrange), so he'd better get back.

3:43 am

witchy

I sent him back a few days ago now and as a thanks I also sent you the hunk from the Aero ads whose name I have forgotten now!

3:43 am

dcseain

yes, went for a short stroll while nibbling a banana

3:43 am

Haz1558

Let me tell you, that man from Aero would stop any woman in her tracks! If he's coming I'll never get ANY work done.

3:43 am

Atalante

and now we have ANtonio Banderas in an M&S advert!

3:44 am

herinfernallady

you done with work Dc?

3:44 am

witchy

thought you'd like him!!

3:44 am

Haz1558

I never realised that the hunk from Aero had a name other than Adonis.

3:44 am

dcseain

nope. 2.25 hours left

3:44 am

Haz1558

I love the M and S advert on the Orient Express.

3:44 am

herinfernallady

Ata stick Antonio back in Interview with the Vampire gear and i may never leave the house

3:45 am

Atalante

I do like Antonio

3:45 am

herinfernallady

just saying it mm huh

3:46 am

witchy

Jason Lewis also in Sex and the City

3:46 am

FranMag

done!

3:46 am

dcseain

YAY Fran!

3:46 am

Haz1558

I'd hate to think that FMitch's doorbell summons was for her to take delivery of George and Aero Boy. You did put the right address on, witchy?

3:46 am

Atalante

YAY fran!

3:46 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Fran!

3:46 am

FranMag

broke down and opened the list. thanks for your help earlier dc and babrab!

3:47 am

FranMag

thanks everyone!

3:47 am

FMitch

She didn't Haz, Phew my oh my :)

3:47 am

dcseain

i used the list for my last 20.

3:47 am

witchy

Well wasn't sure of the address so just told George to go home and take his new friend with him

3:47 am

Haz1558

A good job. I'd have been seriously miffed.

3:48 am

Atalante

does George automatically return home like a racing pigeon?

3:48 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/3a92dk MM HUH

3:48 am

witchy

hope so or Haz is going to be cross with me!

3:48 am

Haz1558

Good grief! As if those two are going to get here unscathed, especially if unwrapped. You did put them in disguise?

3:49 am

witchy

yes of course thay are wearing the gorilla suits

3:49 am

Haz1558

That's a relief. They'll not be conspicuous, then.

3:50 am

FMitch

The ones I just took delivery of were wearing monkey suits!?!

3:50 am

herinfernallady

Pardon Caps lock i had choc on my keyboard

3:50 am

witchy

I did give them hats, sunglasses and a long mac as well

3:50 am

witchy

only had 1 mac so they have to share though

3:51 am

Haz1558

There's been a mix-up somewhere. The sunglasses were a step too far, witchy. They're in Britain now, not LA!

3:51 am

Biltong

witchy, I think it's time we told Haz the truth. Haz, witchy actually used my address, they arrived yesterday!

3:51 am

witchy

they said they couldn't leave home without them

3:51 am

FranMag

LOL biltong

3:51 am

Haz1558

TRAITORS!

3:51 am

herinfernallady

HI Biit long time

3:51 am

witchy

Bilt you said you'd keep it a secret

3:52 am

Biltong

Hi, herin

3:52 am

FMitch

Trying to clear flasher mac images from brain eewe
Morning Biltong

3:52 am

Haz1558

FMitch, what are we going to do? This book tour depends on George to draw the crowds!

3:52 am

dcseain

howdy, bil

3:52 am

witchy

If you have to be flashed then who better?

3:52 am

FMitch

It's OK Haz, he will be there when we need him. I have already got him to sign a contract.

3:52 am

Biltong

When does the book tour start, Haz? I can let you have him back by the end of next week.

3:53 am

Haz1558

And I just know Biltong is going to go on about Finders Keepers.

3:53 am

Haz1558

Oh well, if he's signed a contract then all is well.

3:53 am

Atalante

check your email, FM!

3:53 am

FranMag

pardon me, which George are you talking about?

3:53 am

Biltong

Clooney, I hope?

3:53 am

witchy

clooney

3:53 am

Haz1558

As long as it's not the sort of contract that footballers and managers sign. Or Elizabeth Taylor's wedding contracts.

3:54 am

BabbleRabble

boy george

3:54 am

witchy

etha

3:54 am

FranMag

that's what i thought

3:54 am

witchy

sorry

3:54 am

Haz1558

The book tour dates are fluid. I haven't written the book yet.

3:54 am

FranMag

lol babrab

3:54 am

Biltong

lol, Babble.

3:54 am

FMitch

Don't you worry, you just get the book finished on time.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Oh Babble, Boy George would draw the wrong sort of crowds!

3:54 am

FranMag

you know, he's laying low right now because he got in a fight with Fabio earlier in the week.

3:55 am

Biltong

Oh well, in that case I still have plenty of time beyond the end of next week. Will keep you updated Haz

3:55 am

witchy

And I could never have made him inconspicuous

3:55 am

Haz1558

Who, George or Boy George (in the fight)?

3:55 am

dcseain

i thought that was george clooney and fabio

3:55 am

FranMag

George C.

3:55 am

Biltong

lol, witchy, true.

3:55 am

FMitch

Ata nothing inbound to mail box.

3:56 am

witchy

did george pull his hair!!!

3:56 am

Haz1558

No, Boy George and inconspicuousness are incompatible.

3:56 am

Haz1558

In other words, Boy George likes to be seen. So much easier to spell.

3:56 am

FranMag

lol witchy! it was a pushing match with the waiters breaking it up before any blows were exchanged

3:57 am

witchy

shame!

3:57 am

FranMag

GC asked someone at Fab's table to stop taking pictures....he assumed they were taking pictures of him (which they weren't)

3:57 am

Biltong

You are all too funny! Unfortunately I have to be off now. See you all later, bye.

3:57 am

FranMag

Fabio went over to his table and told him to stop being such a diva. *snicker*

3:58 am

Haz1558

Why would you take a picture of anyone else if George was in the room?

3:58 am

witchy

Bye bilt

3:58 am

Haz1558

I think he was right to make that assumption.

3:58 am

FMitch

Ummm 'cos you don't like GC?

3:58 am

Haz1558

Bye Biltong.

3:58 am

FranMag

bye bilt!

3:58 am

Haz1558

You don't have to like him. You just have to look at him!

3:59 am

FMitch

Doesn't really do it for me, well someone has to keep a clear head around here.

3:59 am

FranMag

like bilt said, you all are too funny. :-)

3:59 am

herinfernallady

Fran has the little one asleep

3:59 am

FranMag

time for me to get to bed.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Anyway, if George and Aero Boy are heading in this direction I'd better tidy myself up (oh, and a small matter of RDA to get to). I'll look out for gorilla suited men along the way.

3:59 am

witchy

4:15 am

herinfernallady

my pc keeps freezing and i dont know why

4:16 am

dcseain

could you have malware running that's eating cpu? Do you run spybot or such?

4:16 am

herinfernallady

i dont have spybot

4:17 am

dcseain

you can download for free to do a scan and clean - i think it lasts a month before it wants you to pay.

4:17 am

herinfernallady

It actually stops working as in totally freezes

4:17 am

dcseain

spybot search & Destroy, that is

4:18 am

herinfernallady

4:31 am

Jacula

FIREWORKS!:-) 45 mins. Quick one today.

4:31 am

dcseain

i would start with pulling up the task manager, and determining which processes are eating resources, apparently CPU, possibly memory. Then, with that info determine next step.

4:33 am

herinfernallady

I have done that

4:33 am

dcseain

Well done, jac!

4:33 am

dcseain

okay, what seems to be source then?

6:21 am

Angelsong

almost a month.

6:21 am

carleekat

some plumbing...painting... and trim to go?

6:22 am

carleekat

drywall/ gypsum board up?

6:22 am

Angelsong

it takes 30 days from foundation to completion, weather permitting, and the weather has been good.

6:22 am

lynxxx

never! its a new build isn't it?

6:23 am

lynxxx

wow - that would never happen in Aust!

6:23 am

flosey

that really is fast Angel, glad you're there to see work in progress - exciting isn't it

6:23 am

Angelsong

the toilets and sinks need to be added; the appliances will be last, flooring will need to go in. they had been painting yesterday. the interior doors are on now.

6:23 am

hurshy

i'm having some trouble with the left A - are there some weirdos or am i just being thick?

6:23 am

hurshy

btw that's great angel :) :)

6:23 am

Angelsong

drywall has been up for a week and a half.

6:24 am

Angelsong

yes, a new build.

6:24 am

lynxxx

there is a nasty al6.27 & 7.40 that follow a clock movement

6:25 am

hurshy

ty!

6:28 am

hurshy

is there maybe a five/six combo from the top E that i'm missing?

6:29 am

lynxxx

em6&7 as in mummies

6:29 am

carleekat

there a 6/7 combo and a 5/6 combo

6:29 am

hurshy

yep, had the 6/7

6:29 am

hurshy

and just found the 5/6

6:29 am

lynxxx

em5&6 the start of going red in the face

6:29 am

hurshy

ok what is the point total please? :)

6:29 am

lynxxx

em5.16

6:30 am

hurshy

no i mean for the whole grid

6:30 am

lynxxx

can't help there, not listing yet

6:30 am

Ragalla

126 words today

6:30 am

Ragalla

can i have another clue for the al6 - didnt get the clock one

6:30 am

hurshy

well it's 1607 or 1609 or something like that

6:31 am

hurshy

maybe higher actually, we got a lot of multi pointers here

6:31 am

lynxxx

al6.27 al + what you sleep in + vowel (follows a clock direction)

6:32 am

carleekat

thanks lynxxx

6:33 am

hurshy

is there a dh5 *cringe*?

6:33 am

lynxxx

yes but easy - dh5.14

6:33 am

hurshy

thanks!

6:34 am

hurshy

it IS 1609 then. the point total.

6:34 am

hurshy

nice lil half hour grid

6:34 am

lynxxx

well done Hurshy!

6:34 am

hurshy

thanks :)

6:35 am

lynxxx

Hurshy - How is your sister coping with the new baby? all under control?

6:36 am

carleekat

<POMPOM TWIRL> for hurshy

6:36 am

hurshy

yes, things are going really well - my sister is a very positive and competent person and things in her life tend to go well :)

6:37 am

hurshy

she said he's only crying when he has a reason (food, diaper).

6:38 am

lynxxx

postive & competent sounds really good for a new Mum. Babies do pick up on the 'vibes' I am sure

6:39 am

hurshy

yes, that is one of the many reasons i don't have any - don't want to pass along depression and anxiety genes!

6:40 am

lynxxx

at least not until you get past this stage! as I am sure you will - you are normally so upbeat!

6:40 am

hurshy

i am upbeat like... for other people

6:40 am

hurshy

inside i'm not so much

6:41 am

hurshy

it's been that way my whole life

6:42 am

lynxxx

Well you do an extremely good version of it. You are probably like those inspiring public speakers who declare that they are so shy!

6:43 am

carleekat

ok...brb..gotta make espresso..the white tornado is hitting the house today..and I need hightest to get through it all

6:43 am

Angelsong

this grid is really pretty quick.

6:43 am

hurshy

yes, in fact it's kind of problematic in a way because people don't realize things about me. for instance my brother- and sister-in-law didn't realize how much insecurity i have and stuff and they interpreted my behavior as if i didn't. but now they have found out - they were very surprised.

6:44 am

hurshy

it's not like i consciously try to pretend to be something i'm not - it just happens

6:44 am

lynxxx

I'd best finish for the nite. Still 15 to find. Bit tired after seeing the Jesse James looonnng movie - too long

6:45 am

hurshy

and i'd best do a few chores before work

6:45 am

hurshy

ma4 exodus....

6:45 am

hurshy

ttfn all

6:45 am

carleekat

i know what u mean hurshy....

7:11 am

Scarlet

Congratulations, Angel, too!

7:11 am

flosey

Hi there Scarlet, thanks again for the recipes, am very anxious to try them

7:11 am

Scarlet

Good, kattie... I kind of goofed off yesterday, and it felt bloomin' great! :-)

7:12 am

Scarlet

Wonderful that you have them, flosey. Isn't it good to be home after your travels?

7:12 am

Scarlet

Flosey, will you make the rolls, too?

7:13 am

flosey

sure is Scarlet, great to see the kids and family but always good to get back home

7:14 am

Scarlet

How is your brother, now... is he in a rehabilitation facility to regain strength and mobility?

7:14 am

flosey

yes, for sure Scarlet, will definitely make those rolls, haven't been making bread for a couple of years now but will start with those

7:14 am

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet.

7:15 am

Scarlet

Wonderful, flosey... I hope you like them! Good morning, Haz... working on your Hazlenut book all evening?

7:15 am

Haz1558

I've been thinking about it, Scarlet. These things can't be rushed.

7:15 am

flosey

Brother went home Friday and is doing very well on his own, his sons take him shopping, and family upstairs will help if needed

7:16 am

carleekat

goofing off is good... i'll get to do so... tuesday

7:16 am

carleekat

excellent news flosey....

7:16 am

Scarlet

That is amazing to me, flosey... the fact that a person can go through such difficult surgery and bounce back to resume life.

7:16 am

Scarlet

When is it happening, kat? I saw a reference to a white tornado... ?

7:17 am

flosey

and thanks for all the encouragement from babble friends

7:18 am

carleekat

I get him tomorrow..today is white tornado..am currently gulping high test to give myself a kickstart....

7:19 am

Scarlet

Haz and Kat, flosey... are you all familiar with the Name Dennis Kucinich? He is a third-tier candidate for the presidency... an intelligent, far-sighted and compassionate man... he doesn't have a chance in the national elections, and may not survive the primaries, but will be in Asheville on Sunday... Beloved and I will go listen to him.

7:19 am

carleekat

{FLOSEY}}

7:20 am

flosey

carlee, are you saying your hubby is coming home?

7:20 am

flosey

Well Scarlet, if not this time around, perhaps he'll be ready for next election?

7:20 am

Scarlet

Ah, I get it now, kat... the coffee in, work to follow in its wake... May the Lord help anyone who stands in your way today! :-)

7:20 am

Haz1558

No, haven't heard of him. I have seen Barack Obama, though.

7:20 am

Fiber Art

Throw a kiss to Dennis when he's in town.

7:20 am

carleekat

for a weekend visit....

7:21 am

flosey

wow, that's amazing carlee

7:21 am

carleekat

dennis is the candidate whoproposed impeachment of cheney?

7:21 am

Scarlet

He doesn't have the "sexiness" that most one-dimensional voters seek... Hi, Fiber Art...I will tell him he has MANY fans... I'm not a kisser for candidates, but for YOU... LOL

7:21 am

Scarlet

Exactly, kat!

7:21 am

carleekat

yea and am a bit scared &^%$less

7:22 am

Fiber Art

A discrete little kiss. Hi

7:22 am

Scarlet

Okay, kat, dear... one moment at a time!

7:22 am

flosey

Understand fully carlee - all the best

7:23 am

carleekat

yeap...hence the tornado today...lots of espresso..my music... and whirlwind..as soon as it kicks in....I will be gone

7:23 am

Scarlet

I remember your story about Barak Obama, Haz, and that was impressive.

7:23 am

Haz1558

It was quite a coincidence - we've been tickled to follow his progress.

7:24 am

flosey

Obama is the one I was favouring - but perhaps a bit early yet for him too

7:24 am

carleekat

what happened haz?

7:24 am

Scarlet

I cannot abide Hillary Clinton, and Barak may be too young... but it's politics, and it's always surprising.

7:24 am

carleekat

( that is how I did and still do feel flosey... first time I saw him he made the key note address at last demo convention and is was stunned )

7:24 am

Atalante

did you keep him in your cupboard before George?

7:25 am

carleekat

and I was stunned... *

7:25 am

Haz1558

We were on holiday in Kenya last year and just happened to be staying at the same hotel as Obama and his family in Nairobi. We only discovered later when we tumbled upon a crowd gathered to see him plant a tree in Nairobi.

7:25 am

Scarlet

He is rather brilliant...

7:25 am

carleekat

oh no atalante...the tabloids will get ahold of haz's secret and and..and....

7:26 am

Haz1558

No, he's never made it to the cupboard, Atalante. All those Secret Service men would give the game away.

7:26 am

Lizsark

hello :))

7:26 am

Scarlet

Hi, Liz... welcome to Politics 101

7:26 am

Haz1558

Hello Liz - ages since I last spoke to you!

7:27 am

Lizsark

Uh oh nnot politics

7:27 am

Lizsark

Yes Haz...while awaiting my brother and co!

7:27 am

Atalante

not sure whih is more obvious, Secret Service men or gorilla suits

7:27 am

carleekat

i so miss hearing bill clinton speak... I keep thinking...maybe hillary so once in a while we get to hear clinton speak again...

7:27 am

Haz1558

How did the visit go?

7:27 am

Lizsark

not too bad thanks - the youngest was a nightmare but the others were all ok#

7:27 am

Haz1558

Secret Service men in gorilla suits would be the last straw. Speaking up their hairy arms....

7:28 am

Lizsark

You and FM did make me laugh that day

7:28 am

Haz1558

We try to raise spirits, Liz. I loved the idea of grafittiing the runway.

7:28 am

carleekat

<snort> that funny haz....*wiping espresso off monitor*

7:28 am

Lizsark

LOL might try that one sometime ;-)

7:28 am

Scarlet

*double snort*

7:29 am

Lizsark

ack I have 20 left and am really struggling now - will have to go to the list

7:30 am

carleekat

when does dennis speak this weekend red?

7:33 am

Lizsark

*chews* mmmm barley sugar

7:34 am

Scarlet

He will have a book sigining at Malaprops BooK Store, and I have reserved a copy; then he will speak to the group of interested people... then he will go to the Ani DeFranco concert to address the multitudes of young voters who adore him, kat.

7:34 am

Begin with Mr Gore, add three letters for where you sleep and finish off with a vowel.

7:37 am

carleekat

al+ where you lay your head at night+ a vowel

7:37 am

Scarlet

She is thrilled to be able to see Mr. Kucinich... and felt badly that we could see and hear him... then the television news said he would be at the Ani concert... she leapt for joy!

7:37 am

The little darling is starting to gain some mass, kattie... and has completely endeared herself to daughter... she was delighted with your info, and kept nodding, right, right, right... that's Penguin now... Yahoo for gramma!

Clues 4 the 8s plz

7:40 am

carleekat

one other tidbit I thought of... most weggies are fascinated by water... whether it be water droplets on shower doors...or play with the water in their water bowl...hence..indoor water features or a glass of water left on a table...are prime targets... my kiki...should you leave 3 glasses of clear liquids out....will choose the water every time and knock the glass over...for fun

7:40 am

gramma

How dare a client come into the office when I'm wallowing in myself.

7:42 am

gramma

DE people who put others down

7:42 am

carleekat

7:42 am

Lizsark

ma6/21 anyone please? (Sorry to keep asking)

7:43 am

gramma

SH8- when a light bulb breaks and the glass goes everywhere..it really sh8

7:43 am

Haz1558

ma6/21 - plural of ma5/12 - itself an anagram of the first ma5/12.

7:43 am

carleekat

plural of the 5...sounds like a cutting light of la5,10/ 6,21 combo

7:43 am

7:51 am

Scarlet

About the Penguin... how she knocked over beloved's water glass a few times and loves the shower and my bubble baths...

7:52 am

Scarlet

LOL... that is super silly, peri... I am still laughing

7:52 am

carleekat

7:52 am

periwinkle

Penguin?

7:52 am

Scarlet

And how I had to be very careful to keep the loo cover down at all times.

7:53 am

Scarlet

Penguin is my daughter's new kitten and kattie told me she was a Norwegian Forest Cat... and she IS!

7:53 am

periwinkle

oh okay

7:53 am

periwinkle

is that a good thing or a bad thing, Scarlet

7:54 am

carleekat

( this type of cat has very typical traits that are pretty exclusive to the breed )

7:54 am

carleekat

they make for amazing house cats...do not need to be :pure bred" to carry the traits

7:55 am

Scarlet

It is a wonderful revelation, peri... such a sweetie, and so super-smart... we love her. I call her my "grand-kittie", because we had to kitten-sit a few weekends ago.

7:56 am

*Fireworks* and finished without help. Clean and easy.

9:33 am

SamanthaJoy

Congratulations Merk--I thought my chat lgo had stopped working!

9:33 am

Merk

All of those double crosses and -er endings with plural created a lot of words.

9:33 am

Uneaixoise

woohoo, merk!

9:34 am

Merk

I see what you mean when I look at the times. I had been gone to breakfast and when I returned, I just put my nose in the grid and didn't pay any attention. Where is everyone?

9:35 am

Merk

Unea, ty, it's been a coon's age since I've seen you here.

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

and congrats, fordy!

9:35 am

SamanthaJoy

I dunno. I'm about to lgo out anyway, so no more chat from meeeee.

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

I'm here every day . . . must have just missed each other--two ships passing in the ether . . .

9:35 am

Merk

Have a good day then, Samantha

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Good morning everyone. I am on a 4 day mental health, mini-vacation! Yippee. I will be playing SCrabble all afternoon with friends.

9:36 am

Merk

Yes, I am here at odd times. And I travel a lot and download the grid in the early a.m. and upload them in the late p.m.

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

Welcome to a relaxed four days, scrab!

9:36 am

Merk

Well, it won't take you all afternoon Scrabbler. It's a very, very easy grid.

9:37 am

Scrabbler

BUT, I am in terrible pain from a hip/pelvis injury sustained on Monday. Sleep was miserable, sitting is much better.

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

How did you do that, scrab??

9:38 am

Merk

How did you injure yourself, if I may ask?

9:38 am

Scrabbler

I ignore the fact that I am 48 when I do sports, so i am a warrior on the tennis court, diving and rolling for shots, like a goaltender.

9:39 am

Merk

Ah, I C, that would do it.

9:40 am

Scrabbler

It is sclerotomal pain, from what my PT friend told me yesterday when he examined me. It is not a disk or hip joint problem. I have some sacroiliac ligamental strain that causes referred pain.

9:40 am

Merk

Well, rest away with Babble. That will cure almost anything!

9:41 am

Dorens

Oh Scrabbler, I'm sorry. that sounds horrible

9:41 am

Dorens

and hi everybody

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Yes, being in Babble Land relieves all sorts of pain.

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Doren--no school today?

9:41 am

Merk

Hi, Dorens. And bye. The grid is so easy, no one needs clues. So I'm getting back to work.

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Merk.

9:42 am

crpw48

fireworks, yahoooooooooooooo

9:42 am

crpw48

really easy grid

9:42 am

Dorens

No-- Nj has four day weekend for teachers' convention, which I do not attend...going to Boston to visit Phoebe romorrow

9:42 am

Yahooooo crpw48!

Dorens

yay crpw

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Phoebe must be getting to that neat stage of language acquisition--one of my favorites.

9:43 am

Merk

congrats crpw, wtg

9:43 am

Dorens

absolutely.... she called me GAMMA last time i was there... and she runs,not walks. I took her to the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and she showed me around... waving hi and bye to her favorite animals... and grunting at the gorillas

9:43 am

pabtrek

congrats crpw

9:45 am

Scrabbler

I continue to be in awe of how toddlers acquire expressive language skills. Think about how hard it is for us to learn a new language (in middle school and beyond) and compare that to how these tots pick things up. I have kids in my practice that are bi and trilingual.

9:46 am

Dorens

Phoebe's parents are teaching her to sign... and her dad is teaching her a bit of spanish as well.... This is definitely the language acquisition age

9:47 am

Dorens

So, sitting is comfortable for you scrabs?

9:47 am

Scrabbler

Signs are great to teach in infancy and early toddlerhood, as a bridge to verbal skills. I am proud of your son & DIL.

9:48 am

Dorens

they are amazing.... wish i had been half as good a mother as Liz is. (and I was a stay at home mom)

9:48 am

Scrabbler

Sitting is much better. Sleep was awful. I have also figured out that it is easier to walk if I tilt my pelvis forward.

9:48 am

Dorens

do you have any good meds to sleep tonight? this is certainly the time to use them, even if you're against them in general

9:50 am

Scrabbler

I have no big guns, won't write a Rx for myself, am afraid to ask my doc, and generally don't like taking opiates (5 post-op experiences)...but may consider asking my doc if things do not improve soon.

9:50 am

bethanyej

ra6,18 anyone?

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Maybe just some Benadryl to make myself unconscious.

9:50 am

Dorens

you know if you don't sleep well, you won't heal as well

9:50 am

Dorens

plural ra5, beth

9:50 am

Scrabbler

You are right, Doren.

9:51 am

grant

ra6 plural of 5/10

9:51 am

Scrabbler

TY for ra5 and ra6

hi everyone..

10:01 am

Scarlet

Hi, Aloy and all... this is a breezer grid, and it's going way too fast! LOL

10:02 am

Aloyisius

exactly, Scarlet!

10:02 am

Scarlet

:-) I shouldn't be selfish... yesterday was soooo much fun...

10:04 am

Aloyisius

Scrabbler, reading back.. so sorry you injured yourself.. hope you heal soon as possible

10:05 am

Scrabbler

I am very frustrated with this injury, but I have to be patient.

10:06 am

Scarlet

So sorry, Scrabbler... pain is debilitating.

10:06 am

Aloyisius

last time we chatted, Scrabbler.. you asked if the baby had smiled yet; her mom reports huge smiles now.. so i hope to see one Thanksgiving.

10:07 am

Scrabbler

Yippee, Aloy

10:08 am

Aloyisius

lol, you had me on the internet researching "social smiling" not that i am an anxious first time gramma or anything!

10:09 am

Scrabbler

The social smile develops at 44-46 wks post-conception.

10:10 am

Aloyisius

translated, is that about 4 to 6 weeks old?

10:11 am

Scrabbler

4-6 after the after the due date...so a premie born 4 wks early will smile at age 8 -10 wks.

10:11 am

Aloyisius

ah so.. ty

10:12 am

debjed

hi aloy, hi red

10:12 am

Aloyisius

hi deb!

10:12 am

Scarlet

Hi, deb.

10:14 am

Aloyisius

monkies are doing a great job for me this morning.. almost done here

10:14 am

Scarlet

Same here, Aloy.. I am putting in just about anything, and voila!

10:15 am

Scrabbler

I have slowed down at 58 to go...let me summon my monkeys.

10:15 am

debjed

help with the al6,27, please.

10:15 am

Scarlet

Banana enticement coming from Asheville, Scrabbler!

10:16 am

Scarlet

Not there, yet, deb...

10:16 am

Aloyisius

fun, fun.. am proud of myself because i couldn't get on the internet, so I had to call support. Some fella with a very thick accent was unable to help, after eons of advice.. so, I shut everything down, did a "restore" .. and huzzah! victory.. unusual for me in the techno dept..

10:17 am

Scarlet

You're light years ahead of me, then, Aloy.

10:17 am

Mary

al6/27 al + what you sleep on + 3rd vowel. Plus plural for 7

10:18 am

Mary

dh5/14 pls?

10:18 am

Aloyisius

just lucky, Scarlet.. the guy told me I had a software problem.. panic set in! Desperate times call for..

10:18 am

debjed

thank you mary

10:18 am

Aloyisius

d + not cold + first person singular

10:19 am

Scarlet

I am so intimidated and concerned that I will do something irreversible...

10:19 am

Mary

ty aloyisius

10:19 am

Aloyisius

yvw

10:20 am

Aloyisius

well, if you have "restore", Scarlet.. you are safe

10:20 am

Scarlet

Thank you for the AL, Mary. As soon as I keyed it in, I remembered it as a Babble-word.

10:20 am

Scarlet

What is that and where is it, Aloy? I have refresh... not the same, I take it.

10:21 am

Scrabbler

I always dread calling tech support for computer problems. Once I could NOT understand the person (English was NOT the first language) and I was ready to cry with frustration, so I said, "I will call back later."

10:21 am

Aloyisius

rats, all done.. now I have to go buy some water softener salt so I can do my white laundry (we have well water).. lol, excitement abounds today!

10:21 am

Scrabbler

We have well water too---yucky stuff!

10:21 am

Scarlet

I have the Internet tools in one of the headers, and have used that in desperation.

10:22 am

Aloyisius

Scarlet, "restore" function came on my laptop. I found it in the HELP section..

10:22 am

Scrabbler

Congrats on finishing, Aloy. Enjoy the day, especially the laundry part.

10:22 am

Scarlet

We had an awful experience with a tech... and she was so nasty that we had to call to say we didn't know what the heck she was saying, and she was sarcastic, to boot...

10:23 am

Scarlet

Congratulations on finishing, Aloy!

10:23 am

Scarlet

My beloved husband is such a gentleman, and I have rarely seen him so flummoxed...

10:24 am

Uniquity

Aha! Finished the whole grid without going to the dictionary at all! ( i usually need it for the last ten or so)...wee!

10:24 am

Aloyisius

woohoo, Scrabbler.. (-: Hope you are feeling lots better next time we chat. Scarlet, I'm wishing you trouble free surfing forever.. (-: True, i had a difficult time understanding this gentleman. He meant well, but just frustrated me.. okie dokie, reluctantly off i go to haul 40 lb bags of salt down into the basement.. see you next grid! POOF

10:24 am

Scarlet

Well done, Uniquity!! :-)

10:24 am

Scarlet

Don't fall, Aloy!!

10:24 am

Aloyisius

congrats, Uniquity!

10:25 am

Scrabbler

Wahoooo Uniquity!!

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Bye everyone. Time to get ready for the Scrabble "tournament"/afternoon with friends. We love to play lots of games and eat.

10:27 am

Scarlet

'Bye, Scrabbler... get tons of triple-word knockers!

10:27 am

Atalante

scarlet, thats what backups are for. even if you did do something irreversible, well you've still got all the important things!

10:27 am

Scrabbler

And "bingos"!! (7 letter words!!!)

10:27 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ata, bye Ata.

10:27 am

Scarlet

Okay, Ata (good morning to you)... I am relieved to hear that. Go, go Scrabbler!

10:27 am

Atalante

hi and bye scrabbler!

10:29 am

Atalante

just never press yes to the question "format drive C?" and most other things are dealable with. computers are fairly sturdy things

10:31 am

Scarlet

That is good advice, Ata. I have gone into many computer instructions, and have cruised through some simple things, but to tell the truth, it is a bit intimidating to me... I am a Luddite, but slowly joining the cyber world.

10:31 am

Biltong

Hi everyone. Thanks for that info Atalante :)

10:32 am

Scarlet

But, the salvation may be in the book I bought a few weeks ago: Windows XP for Dummies!

10:32 am

Scarlet

Hi, Biltong!

10:32 am

Biltong

Hi Scarlet, how are you?

10:33 am

Scarlet

Wonderful, thank you, Biltong... trying to go slowly on this, but it's too breezy a grid, and I have to dive into housework today!

10:33 am

Scarlet

And, how are you, Biltong?

10:33 am

Atalante

its what I keep telling my mother. Poke things and see what happens LOL You're very unlikely to completely kill a computer by pressing a key. Aha! Yay! Salvation! I think the intimidation is more - well - intimidating than the computer itself. Its a box. With wires and chips in. You press something, something happens inside. You wouldn't expect any other box to blow up spectacularly if you pressed a button on it, would you? :)

10:34 am

Scarlet

LOL... perfect logic from a scientist... You give me gumption! Thank you.

10:34 am

Biltong

Yes, it's a nice one today. I have just popped in for a few minutes, as I also have things to do.

10:34 am

Biltong

Good logic, Atalante

10:35 am

Uniquity

I think the issue is more the importance people place upon the information inside their computer. I tend to completely reformat every three months or so because I like to start over with a 'clean slate'.

10:35 am

Atalante

:)

10:36 am

Scarlet

I dump the cache frequently, Uni... exactly my thought process... we have friends who are totally attached to their devices... crackberry maniacs.

10:36 am

Biltong

Ooh, this is great, just greying one box after another, lol

10:36 am

Atalante

and yes, the important thing is the information inside it. backup, backup, backup :P keep everything precious on a cd / disc then even if the box does explode, well hey! you get some fireworks and have to take the thing to be repaired. big deal cos you have all the precious stuff on it anyway

10:37 am

Atalante

great, isnt it Biltong!

10:37 am

Biltong

sure is!

10:37 am

Uniquity

Music is my only necessity. I have a list of several programs that I like to put back on, but it is just ike my life...I like to try to dump/rearrange things every few months.

10:38 am

Uniquity

**TRY**

10:38 am

Scarlet

Biltong... it's almost too easy... I wonder if this is the lull before the 600 record-breaker that will inevitably bang us on the brains!? :p

10:38 am

Biltong

mmm, maybe. The calm before the storm?

10:39 am

Scarlet

Yeep!

10:42 am

Biltong

I won't have much free time to babble as from next week Monday. I am starting a temp job for a month and will have other things to do when I get home in the evenings. I am surely going to have withdrawal symptoms.

10:42 am

Atalante

oh noooo!

10:42 am

rnp

10:42 am

Scarlet

That's very serious, Biltong... how may we help forestall the shakes and shivers? LOL

Atalante

10:45 am

Biltong

I couldn't face waking up with a hangover in the morning and attempting to get ready to go to work. We'll have to think of something else.

10:45 am

Scarlet

10:45 am

Atalante

10:46 am

Scarlet

Dancing men from Paree?

10:46 am

Scarlet

*Gasp* Haz will be horrified...

10:46 am

Biltong

oooh, now chocolate sounds really good. I will have the benefit of walking it off, as it is within walking distance.

10:47 am

Biltong

lol, Scarlet.

10:47 am

Atalante

I'm sure she'd lend him out. Its an emergency!

10:47 am

harpjane

hello, could someone clue the g words?

10:47 am

Scarlet

Well... that is that, Ata... he HAS escaped for the short term...

10:47 am

rnp

clue for the al8 anyone?

10:47 am

Biltong

Haz is going to call you a traitor, Atalante. And besides I don't think that will help. Can you just imagine how tired I'll be in the mornings?

10:47 am

Atalante

perhaps Biltong already has him stashed away!!

10:47 am

Scarlet

G+ head topper, harp.

10:48 am

Scarlet

AL+ we sleep on a *** + *h, what a beautiful morning!

10:48 am

Scarlet

GE + **ke a walk on the wild side...

10:49 am

Scarlet

LOL, Biltong... either exhauster or energized... it can go either way!

10:49 am

Biltong

Well, if you scroll back in the chat, unfortunately I really can't remember what time it was this morning, you will see the banter going on about George. Witchy said she had sent him to Haz. Then somebody said their doorbell went. Haz then said she hopes it is not the delivery and asked Witchy if she used the correct address. I then said to Haz sorry to break the news, but Witchy used my address and George has already arrived. Needless to say, Haz was not impressed.

10:50 am

harpjane

thanks

10:50 am

Atalante

aha! so you DO have him!! :D

10:50 am

Scarlet

YW.

10:50 am

10:51 am

Scarlet

10:51 am

Atalante

10:51 am

Biltong

No, he wasn't with George. He was despatched elsewhere.

10:52 am

Atalante

11:06 am

witchy

he left here holding Georges hand honest, and they both had luggage labels saying "If found wandering return to Haz in NI"

11:07 am

Haz1558

You do realise that I have a namesake in a neighbouring village?

11:07 am

Haz1558

She used to win prizes at the local agricultural show. I used to get congratulated on my skills.

11:08 am

witchy

Oh noooooo, sorry Haz

11:08 am

Haz1558

I was SO cross one year when she only came third.

11:08 am

Atalante

does she like George though?

11:08 am

Haz1558

So, I can see what has happened.

11:08 am

witchy

dote

11:08 am

Atalante

yes, lots of that

11:09 am

Haz1558

She's bound to have taken delivery and said nothing. I see a visit is in order to spring him from her clutches.

11:09 am

witchy

sorry wrong box again!!

11:09 am

Atalante

only Aero boy though. Don't think you'll get George back from Biltong for a month now

11:09 am

witchy

Make sure she doesn't take the credit for your forthcoming book then Haz

11:10 am

Haz1558

It gives me time to gather my senses and get that book written.

11:10 am

granadan

wot book?

11:10 am

Atalante

How To Be A Perfect Everything by Haz

11:10 am

Deeha

will it be worth getting George back, I bet he'll be all tired out

11:10 am

Deeha

will it be worth getting George back, I bet he'll be all tired out

11:10 am

Haz1558

I can see it all. It's a conspiracy. She got wind of me getting the credit for her accomplishments and she's getting her own back with George and the book.

11:11 am

Haz1558

It's to be my words of wisdom, Babble suggested the title 'Hazel's nuts of wisdom'. I'm worried people will just shorten it to 'Hazel's nuts.'

11:11 am

Atalante

Deeha, you aren't right next to the sea, are you?

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

rofl

11:12 am

Atalante

there's meant to be a 1.5m tidal surge around Kent tonight! Lots of flooding

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

enbar

11:13 am

Deeha

will it be worth getting George back, I bet he'll be all tired out

11:13 am

Deeha

No about 1/2 a mile away.

11:14 am

Atalante

good!

11:14 am

Haz1558

I'm a kind person, Deeha, he'll be safe with me.

11:14 am

Deeha

I wondered why you were asking thenm I saw your previous comment!! I'll close all the windows!!

11:15 am

witchy

Must go and get dinner ready and organise search party back later

11:15 am

Atalante

oh yes! It'll be a bit wild adn wet tonight round here I think!

11:15 am

Deeha

Just rhouyght I am going to a meeting 'on the front' tonight. Still it is in a bar so if we have to stay overnight......!!

11:15 am

Atalante

perfect!!

11:15 am

Deeha

I wish I could remem,ber to check my spelling

11:16 am

Atalante

meh. we understand

11:16 am

Haz1558

We usually know what people are talking about. Usually.

11:16 am

Atalante

I'd never get anything typed if I checked for mistakes LOl

11:17 am

Haz1558

And some mistakes are funny - whole new concepts to be explored.

11:18 am

Atalante

definitely!

11:19 am

Atalante

and there were lots of studies saying you dont need to get all the letters right for people to recognise a word. just the first and last. so just get the majority of letters right and we're fine!

11:19 am

Vicuna

Hxgho, ectyome!

11:19 am

Atalante

hi vi!

11:19 am

Haz1558

It's when random words appear together that we're foxed.

Vicuna

See, it work!

Vicuna

Haz1558

All hail, Vicuna!

11:20 am

Atalante

wow!

11:20 am

Vicuna

My goodness, Haz, what a gratifying welcome.

11:20 am

Haz1558

I know my place.

11:20 am

Atalante

get thee on thy pedestal!

11:21 am

Haz1558

Are you pedestalling or Throning today?

11:21 am

Vicuna

It must be the cat in my icon causing everyone's intelligence to go down and inanity to shoot up.

11:21 am

pabtrek

need help with the bottom r, i have re5/10 and re4/6, what's the other one please

11:21 am

Atalante

11:22 am

Inge2

take the re4/6 drop last letter and add two letter word for mother

11:22 am

Haz1558

Otherwise known as the real Elton John's mother (re5/16)

11:23 am

Atalante

Elton John's middle name is Hercueles

11:23 am

Atalante

Hercules!

11:23 am

pabtrek

thanks Haz and inge

11:23 am

Haz1558

Is it really?

11:23 am

MarkDF

interesting word, that re5,16

11:23 am

Vicuna

What a nice feeling to be getting smarter, granadan. I haven't felt that way since I was about 15.

11:23 am

Atalante

it really is

11:23 am

Haz1558

After M Poirot?

11:23 am

Atalante

it was a question on Eggheads last night LOL

11:24 am

Vicuna

President Warren G. Hardin's G stood for Gamaliel.

11:24 am

Haz1558

Oh, Eggheads. Now they ARE smug.

11:24 am

Vicuna

Harding. Remember, typing doesn't matter.

11:24 am

Atalante

ohhhhhhhhhh yes

11:24 am

Haz1558

And Morse's first name is?

11:24 am

Atalante

I could be on that. There, smug levels equalised

11:25 am

granadan

flamingheck - fireworks for the first time without help!

11:25 am

pabtrek

oh and thanks gran, sorry didn't see the first clue

11:25 am

Inge2

Samuel

11:25 am

Atalante

Endeavour

11:25 am

Vicuna

Mr Code?

11:25 am

Haz1558

Well done granadan. Your intelligence levels are stratospheric. You deserve a pedestal as well.

11:25 am

Vicuna

Yay for granadan!

11:25 am

Haz1558

Ten points to Atalante for Endeavour.

11:26 am

Inge2

are there some odd A words from that lefthand A? Or am I just being stupid?

11:26 am

Atalante

named after James Cook's ship

11:26 am

Haz1558

Morse the detective, Morse the inventor was Samuel.

11:26 am

Inge2

well, you didn't say which, Haz

11:26 am

pabtrek

congrats gran

11:26 am

Vicuna

Yes, I think inge gets points, as well.

11:26 am

Haz1558

This is true. I was hoping you could read my mind. But look, we've got two correct answers.

11:26 am

Atalante

and why was Morse named after James Cook's ship, Haz?

11:27 am

Vicuna

I named my firstborn child "Beagle" after another famous ship.

11:27 am

Vicuna

The second child is "Titanic."

11:27 am

Inge2

Beagle??

11:27 am

Haz1558

Because his mother liked the name? I can't remember the reason.... (I'll trudge off and suck my thumb)

11:27 am

Inge2

I guess better than naming your child "Golden Hind"

11:27 am

Haz1558

Darwin's ship was the Beagle.

11:28 am

Atalante

cos his father was a Quaker and liked hard-working sorts of names. Or something like that

11:28 am

Inge2

that I know.

11:28 am

Vicuna

I guess I'm just saying that naming children after ships is not necessarily a good idea.

11:28 am

Inge2

So, my question is whose ship was named the Golden Hind

11:28 am

Haz1558

It sounds plausible, Atalante.

11:28 am

MarkDF

edmunds?

11:29 am

MarkDF

or maybe magellan

11:29 am

Atalante

Drake, wasn't it?

11:29 am

Mc1

Drake

11:29 am

Haz1558

Drake?

11:29 am

Vicuna

Do all Quakers have hardworking names?

11:29 am

Inge2

nope

11:29 am

Inge2

Yes! Haz gets....chocolate

11:29 am

Vicuna

Raleigh

11:29 am

Haz1558

Thank you - I'd rather have Aero boy.

11:29 am

Atalante

oh - a bit wrong - Morse's mother was a Quaker (Quakers have a tradition of "virtue names") and his father was a fan of Captain James Cook.

11:29 am

Vicuna

Oh, right. Drake. (Curses!)

11:29 am

granadan

Right I must run and get some dinner on for my poor hardworking man, and poretend I havent spent the last hour onhere! Catch everyone later! *poof*

11:29 am

Atalante

hey! I want chocolate too!

11:30 am

Inge2

ANd Atalante. And Mc1. Vicuna and Mark get Cayenne pepper.

11:30 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, Granadan.

11:30 am

Haz1558

Bye granadan - just tell him we're therapy.

11:30 am

granadan

*passes galaxy over on the way out*

11:30 am

Inge2

bye, gran.

11:30 am

Vicuna

*ACHOOOOO*

11:30 am

Vicuna

Sorry, Cayenne got up my nose.

11:31 am

Denny

yay fireworks... any clues required?

11:31 am

Haz1558

Galaxy will do nicely.

11:31 am

Vicuna

And yay for Denny!

11:31 am

Haz1558

Pass the disinfectant, someone. Oh, I forgot, no hard chemicals.

11:31 am

Haz1558

Well done Denny.

11:31 am

Vicuna

Only if you want your hosue spotless, Haz.

11:31 am

Inge2

kudos, Denny. I would like a clue, but don't know what to ask for, uless you can give me hints on odd As from that left hand A. I have 4 of them, can't see the last 3.

11:32 am

Haz1558

Well, there's spotless and there's spotless.... I bought a new vacuum cleaner today, so don't anybody say I haven't got the place clean for George.

11:33 am

Haz1558

The whole spotless thing is ironic in view of evidence on photobucket.

11:33 am

Vicuna

Now you just need to tach George to use the vacuum cleaner and life will be perfect.

11:33 am

Vicuna

teach

11:33 am

Denny

inge - al6/27 sounds like a person with white hair and pink eyes just change the last consonant - al7/40 is the plural

11:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, because Spangle is willing but not very able.

11:33 am

Atalante

*splorfles*

11:34 am

Haz1558

Another tissue to wipe up the mess, Atalante?

11:34 am

Vicuna

Spangle has other talents.

11:34 am

Inge2

ah, marvelous word! Thank you, Denny I wish I had spotted that.

11:34 am

Denny

Inge do you have the bottom?

11:34 am

Atalante

only if I can chuck it on the floor to add to the mess

11:34 am

Inge2

I do! the golden hind.

11:34 am

Vicuna

What a question, Denny!

11:35 am

Haz1558

Andwhat an answer!

11:35 am

Vicuna

lol, Inge!

11:35 am

Denny

11:35 am

Inge2

I have 1 ab, 3 al, 2 ar from the left-hand A

11:36 am

Denny

inge - 1 more al should do it

11:36 am

Inge2

thanks denny, will hunt

11:36 am

Denny

al4/5

11:37 am

Inge2

ah, that was easy. Thanks for rescuing me from beating head on desk, Denny.

11:37 am

Haz1558

Atalante, did you go to Hobbycraft?

11:37 am

Vicuna

Thanks, Denny. I needed that one, as well.

11:38 am

Atalante

nope! at the last second, I found a sketchpad that hadn't been fully used. It staved off the crisis for a day or two!

11:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, there's enough banging of heads on desks goes on around here without others joining in....

11:38 am

Haz1558

That's good.

11:39 am

Atalante

Hobbit had an extra long walk instead

11:39 am

Denny

I've given up on banging my head - it's just permanently stationed there now!!!

11:39 am

stidmama

hello all! how's the grid today?

11:39 am

Haz1558

Good for Hobbit - did she find the sketchpad for you?

11:39 am

Vicuna

Hello, stidmama.

11:39 am

Inge2

Stid, hello!

11:39 am

Denny

just as an aside - does anyone here have a Live Hotmail account? If so, do you have problems logging on?

11:40 am

Haz1558

Hello stidmama. Everyone seems to love it, they're whipping through it like greased lightning.

11:40 am

Inge2

it's actually quite fun today, Stid

11:40 am

stidmama

well inge2! I've missed you! all okay?

11:40 am

Atalante

no. she should have done! I'll have to train her better

11:40 am

Vicuna

It's been easy so far, but I never know what the last bunch will bring.

11:40 am

stidmama

good. yesterday's took WAY too long!

11:40 am

Inge2

Denny, I have one, but it is my "junk" account and I check it only once week.

11:40 am

Haz1558

Denny - I tried logging on and it's gone strange. I gave up in the end and went through other channels.

11:41 am

Inge2

All is fine, Stid, and you?

11:41 am

Haz1558

It seems to want you to join something else, or update to a new type of account. I'm always suspicious of these new-fangled things.

11:42 am

Denny

I keep having problems and then have to go into the classic version which is AWFUL!!!! We are changing our broadband provider and seriously thinking about dumping my hotmail account and just using the one I'm given

11:42 am

stidmama

I am well today inge, thanks! it's quiet, and I go help at one of the kids' schools in 20 minutes

11:42 am

stidmama

11:45 am

Inge2

it's got a very good spam filter.

11:45 am

BGL

stidmama

11:51 am

Atalante

firewoofs!

11:51 am

Vicuna

Bye, stidmama.

11:51 am

stidmama

YAY atalante!

11:51 am

Vicuna

Yay for Atalante!

Haz1558

ed4/6 - an anagram of where you store garden tools or what snakes do with their skin.

11:52 am

Haz1558

Well done, Atalante!

11:52 am

Inge2

nice, ata! And while chatting vigrouously too!

11:52 am

pk

hi all --down to last 2!

11:52 am

Mitchell

lol. ty

11:52 am

Vicuna

Yeah, good point, inge. I reckon I haven't found 10 words since unlurking myself.

11:53 am

Deeha

wtg atalante

11:53 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:53 am

Atalante

*smug*

11:53 am

Haz1558

I knew she's be smug.

11:54 am

Haz1558

You don't know the half of it. She's been drawing a masterpiece as well.

11:54 am

pk

re5/16?

11:54 am

Atalante

I have!

11:54 am

Vicuna

True. And probably IM-ing on the side, as well.

11:54 am

Haz1558

All while cooking a gourmet feast.

11:55 am

Vicuna

re5/16 - short for rule + short for mother

11:55 am

Niamh

I looked at your deviantart page Atlante... very beautiful! I love your Eve!

11:55 am

Vicuna

And being kind ot animals.

11:55 am

Haz1558

And doing exercises on the treadmill.

11:55 am

Atalante

IMing yes. Gourmet? not a chance

11:55 am

Haz1558

We've found the flaw in Atalante!

11:55 am

pk

ty vic

11:55 am

Vicuna

And secretly ruling an army of battle robots poised to take over the earth.

11:56 am

Atalante

oh thank you Niamh! I need to do a decent pic of her, those were done when I couldn't move after a back op and I kept getting the perspective wrong LOL

11:56 am

Vicuna

Don't say that, HAz, or the battle robots will be at your door!

11:56 am

Atalante

oh yes, that too

11:56 am

Deeha

better that than George

11:57 am

Haz1558

I never thought of that. No flaw in Atalante, slightly imperfect, but nothing to worry about. You've not poisoned anyone with your cooking, have you?

11:57 am

Atalante

not yet

11:57 am

Vicuna

(Good recovery, Haz. I'd hate to see George have to sacrifice himself to defend you.)

11:58 am

Haz1558

Thanks Vicuna. I needed the warning.

11:58 am

pk

fireworks!

11:58 am

Vicuna

Why do you think Ata has set up poor FM to be the whipping child? So no one will criticize herself.

11:59 am

Atalante

yay pk!

11:59 am

Vicuna

Yay for pk!

11:59 am

Haz1558

Well done pk!

11:59 am

pk

thanks -- any lurkers need clues before i go?

11:59 am

Atalante

*gasp*

11:59 am

Haz1558

I just thought it was written in the babble constitution that FM was to blame. You mean it's a conspiracy?

12:00 pm

Vicuna

Isn't everything part of the conspiracy?

12:00 pm

Atalante

she was to blame way before i was smug

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Is your name Mohammed Al Fayed, Vicuna?

12:00 pm

Vicuna

I mean, just look at duck-billed platypuses. They are *clearly* a hoax.

12:01 pm

Atalante

*ponders which of the eggheads is the smuggest*

12:02 pm

Denny

well i've set up a gmail account - just trying to figure out how to import all my addresses from hotmail!! Thansk for the suggestion happy babbling all!!

12:02 pm

Vicuna

No, no. Haz. I'm just one of the folks in the tinfoil hats to protect me from the CIA's mind control beams.

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Can you buy one of those hats in Harrods?

12:03 pm

Becca Lorum

Whoop - Fireworks!

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Well done Becca!

12:04 pm

Vicuna

No, you should make your own. That way you can add whatever personal touches seem prudent, such as fake foliage for camoflage or mirrors for extra deflection, or those whistle things to warn deer off the highway when you drive at night...

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Is there any sewing needed?

12:05 pm

Becca Lorum

Thanks Haz - fairly easy grid today

12:05 pm

Niamh

lol Vicuna!
YaY Becca!

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Jest procure a roll of aluminum foil and start wrapping!

12:06 pm

Haz1558

That sounds like a plan. No doubt Atalante's tin foil hat wil be a work of art and she'll be really smug about it.

12:06 pm

Vicuna

Oh yes. Hers will be an art deco masterpiece worthy of "Metropolis" or something.

12:07 pm

Haz1558

It makes you sick, doesn't it?

12:07 pm

Atalante

so funny you mentioned Metropolis ...

12:07 pm

Vicuna

And each of her battle robots will have an individual identifying mark representing its special skills and the birth flower of the month when it was constructed...

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Because she has been nominated for an Oscar!

12:07 pm

Niamh

she could start a new showcase of tin hats... maybe even get them up for sale in Harrod's

12:07 pm

Vicuna

Why's that, Ata?

12:07 pm

Atalante

want to see what I'm working on at the moment? *giggles*

12:08 pm

Haz1558

A tin foil hat?

12:08 pm

Vicuna

Oh dear.... Yes, of course I want to!

12:08 pm

Niamh

hmm... Metropolis... does it have to do with Superman?

12:08 pm

Atalante

check out the first pic in my flickr :)

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Hold onto your tin foil hats. We're about to see what Atalante's working on...

12:09 pm

Vicuna

LOL! I KNEW IT!!!

12:09 pm

Niamh

that's a protocol droid!

12:09 pm

Vicuna

It was all true!

12:10 pm

Vicuna

(Fluent in over six million forms of communication, at that.)

12:10 pm

Haz1558

Anyone else hearing the X files music?

12:10 pm

Atalante

*grins* its going to be Star Wars a la Metropolis

12:11 pm

Vicuna

No, I'm afraid I can't hear the X-files music over the buzzing in my tin foil hat.

12:11 pm

Niamh

very nice work Atalante

12:11 pm

Haz1558

See, I haven't got mine made yet.

12:11 pm

Atalante

I'm hoping it'll work out ok. Loads of people won't get the Metropolis reference I'm sure, but that;s their problem

12:12 pm

Vicuna

It should be fun, at any rate.

12:12 pm

Haz1558

There's always google.

12:13 pm

Atalante

*still laughing that you mentioned Metropolis*

12:13 pm

Vicuna

Metropolis and robots and such were in my head because my son had brought home from the library some books about robots.

12:14 pm

Vicuna

Evidently the tin foil hat was insufficient to keep your vibes out of my head, though.

12:14 pm

Atalante

:):)

12:15 pm

Haz1558

Back to square one, Vicuna. The Harrods models are probably superior, as befits one on a pedestal.

12:15 pm

Vicuna

And I still haven't found any additional words. Sigh.

12:16 pm

Haz1558

If you didn't know us any better, you'd think it was a conspiracy to slow you down.

12:16 pm

Niamh

you mean it's not a conspiracy??

12:16 pm

Vicuna

But wait... if Ata designs the ones in Harrods, surely she'll make it so they can't stop her bid for world domination...

12:17 pm

Mitchell

anyone know the sh5/12 s or the sh6/21. theyre not in the english dictionary but may be in your american dictionary lol

12:17 pm

Vicuna

Ah, well, if I am honest, I have to admit that I'm complicit in the chatter.

12:17 pm

Atalante

mohammed al fayed likes world domination, I think

12:17 pm

Haz1558

So we need to warn Mohammed that there's a conspiracy about a conspiracy and to trust no-one.

12:17 pm

Niamh

that's true Vicuna, but at least it would be a beautifuly artistic world

12:18 pm

Vicuna

I have an sh5/12 that's a young pig.

12:18 pm

Haz1558

sh5/12 - one adds a vowel to the sh4/5, the other doubles the consonant on the end.

12:18 pm

inge

just dropping in for a sec, to point out that you can finish the grid by doing 5 words per hour. How about taht Vicuna?

12:18 pm

Mitchell

i have the young pig

12:18 pm

Atalante

they are utterly in the english dictionary ;)

12:18 pm

Haz1558

Hello inge.

12:18 pm

Vicuna

True, Niamh. Most distopias are portrayed as soulless worlds without art.

12:19 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, inge!

12:19 pm

Takuma Sato

ah, mitchell, babble doesn't use an English (or American) dictionary. It uses a dictionary called "Enable," which is for a language that resembles English in some, but not all, respects.

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Heh, look at all those new words I just added!

12:20 pm

Haz1558

Code red, Atalante, Vicuna is making a break for the babble finish.

12:20 pm

Mitchell

u can probably tell my patience is runnin low if im lookin in the dictionary lol

12:20 pm

Atalante

how many left, Viiii?

12:21 pm

Vicuna

19 to go. So I guess that's about 4 more hours for me...

12:21 pm

Atalante

easy peasy

12:21 pm

inge

well, I am off again. Just had to pipe up Hellow and goodbye, Haz, Ata, Vicuan, mitchell, Takkuma, and all the rest

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, maybe easy if there wasn't this conspiracy to keep me too distracted to search!

12:22 pm

Niamh

bye inge!

Takuma Sato

ciao inge

12:22 pm

Bye inge - nice to see you.

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Right!

12:23 pm

Vicuna

3 hours left...

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Well, I'm going to withdraw from the conspiracy for a while. Even conspirators need to eat. Bye for now!

12:24 pm

Atalante

byeeeee!

12:24 pm

Niamh

bye Haz

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Goodbye, Haz! =)

12:28 pm

12:35 pm

Vicuna

Well, by inge's calculations I have about an hour's worth of work remaining here, but I'd better get a bit of other work done before meeting the darlings.
Ata, let me know when your world domination is complete.

12:35 pm

Vicuna

Goodby, all!

12:36 pm

Niamh

something strange happened here, which one of you computer whizzes might be able to explain; I had about 30 pictures in my picture gallery, all past icon photos. Just now I wanted to look at them and they have disappeared, not in the deleted file nor in the reycle bin. Can anyone explain how that could have happened?

1:42 pm

kc8501

maybe the file name got changed, or the folder got moved

1:42 pm

lynxxx

no expert, but perhaps the file may have been 'moved' into another file accidently. I would look at the others close to it

1:42 pm

Niamh

well inge it could be lots of things, do you have any pictures anywhere that you can open?

1:43 pm

joso

inge, is the file type selector at the bottom of the viewing window set to something other that "all"

1:44 pm

inge

OK will try

1:45 pm

joso

you can also try a search for *.jpg inge

1:45 pm

meliae

have downloaded any kind of a new picture viewer that may have taken over the pictures and moved them into its files?

1:46 pm

Niamh

I've had all sorts of fun with picture viewers, that seems most likely

1:46 pm

meliae

or perhaps used the open this type of file using this program where it opens a list of applications? sometimes that will mess things up as well

1:48 pm

inge

so far I was able to open photos from desktop in the Easy Share file, most of those photos can be recreated, just so much work. They were darn handy for changing icons.

1:52 pm

inge

thanks for all your suggestions. Will investigate and post any positive results.

1:52 pm

Niamh

is the easy share file the program you normally use to open pictures? did you update any programs like media player or anything?

1:53 pm

meliae

if you can find one of them the others will be there too

1:53 pm

meliae

so look at the ext where it has been moved to, after you do a find, then you can go get them and move the folder back where you had it

1:55 pm

inge

All I did is call up a link to a German restuarant in Houston, which a friend sent me. Afterwrds the emial file claimed I had sent an email to myself, which they could not deliver. I was stumped then already. Could all this be the work of a virus?

1:55 pm

meliae

hmmm try this

1:56 pm

meliae

try doing a system restore and see if it puts things back to rights

1:56 pm

Niamh

that's a possibility, do you have anything like AVG or spybot?

1:56 pm

meliae

and most definiately run a virus check on your computer

1:59 pm

inge

yes, I do have AVG checking every incoming mail; I will have hubby run system restore, right now he refuses to come upstairs to my desk

2:00 pm

meliae

you can do it

2:00 pm

inge

OK, give me the steps to follow and I will try

2:01 pm

meliae

go to start/programs/accesrories/systemstool
s/restore

2:01 pm

Atalante

you can do it, inge! Its easy :)

2:01 pm

meliae

then just pick a date before you did the e-mail thing

2:02 pm

inge

dummy at the controls: do I type in all those words from melieae

2:03 pm

meliae

go to start in the lower left

2:03 pm

meliae

click it then all programs then accessories etc

2:05 pm

meliae

you actually wont click but rather highlight each option until you get to the system restore one, you will click on the system restore which will bring up a window

2:07 pm

lynxxx

bye everyone. hope you get it all back Inge

good. Trojans have a habit of popping up again, so don't be traumatised if it reappears, but hopefully not!

2:41 pm

could that Trojan have deleted all my pictures? The ones on the desktop were not affected.

2:42 pm

Atalante

unlikely, but possible

2:42 pm

inge

Trojan horse reappeared just now, So I will do it one more time

Same here, and I"m not enjoying the cold, but the leaves are gorgeous now! I had to drive to Baltimore and it was just beautiful along the highway.

5:51 pm

Minveryork

It is beautiful here too. Now that I am commuting to and from work (hour to and from), I get to enjoy the leaves! Fall's my favorite season because of the leave

5:56 pm

Anniebrook

5:58 pm

katrynwise

gotta run for now... will try to hop on again later

5:58 pm

5:58 pm

Anniebrook

5:58 pm

mamabear

what pirate names?

5:59 pm

mamabear

thanks annie - I had these procedurs done 2 years ago, but am needing them again but so far this time they aren't helping and they will only do 3

5:59 pm

Krista

If you look in peoples' profiles, like Annie's, there is often a "pirate name" at the bottom. They are so funny.

6:00 pm

mamabear

I had surgery to replace 2 cervical discs 6 years ago

6:00 pm

Anniebrook

Krista, I believe it is our other dear pirate, Nutty....try http://babble-cast.blogspot.com/

6:00 pm

mamabear

oh, ok Krista thanks

6:01 pm

Anniebrook

mama, Hopefully this one will work for you, my prayers are with you

6:02 pm

Krista

Thanks, Annie. Don't see anything there. I'm sure the Nut will show up here later and I'll ask her.

6:02 pm

mamabear

thanks Annie . I was in the hospital 2 weeks ago for a couple days with chest pains, thus the need for the stress test yesterday - that did not make my back happy

6:03 pm

Anniebrook

Krista, I am really sorry, I am terrible at anything computer releated

6:03 pm

Krista

No worries! It's nothing urgent. :)

6:04 pm

Anniebrook

mama, all the aggravation with your back would give a person chest pains

6:05 pm

mamabear

it's possible it's all related Annie - but for now trying to deal with it all, it is aggravating the fibromyalgia and IBS.... and can't take off work right now

6:06 pm

Krista

And all those conditions are exacerbated by stress, big time. Wow.

6:06 pm

mamabear

al 6 and 7?

6:06 pm

mamabear

yes, Krista - and stress is a huge part of my life right now

6:07 pm

Anniebrook

6:07 pm

Krista

Sounds like it, Mama.

6:07 pm

Krista

I don't have those a's, Mama. sorry.

6:08 pm

mamabear

thank you Tyger, it was a Christmas present to my boys one year. They always played with Mr. Potato Head and love Star Wars

7:23 pm

tygerbryght

this grid is easier for Brits than Murkans, there are several Brit slang words that are unfamiliar to most of us

7:24 pm

Mom

there are several odd words for me today

7:24 pm

tygerbryght

there are a few that I don't recall seeing before

7:25 pm

tygerbryght

of course, I *always* wind up having to use the word lists. I had two different closed head injuries when I was in my 20s, and there are always some words I know that I just Do Not See - in addition to the weird words nobody uses

7:26 pm

tygerbryght

but it's my understanding that this sort of thing is "good exercise"for me, to help me keep from losing more

7:27 pm

tygerbryght

but some words today, like the very last one - to4/5 - that I only know because I read some British fiction

7:28 pm

dan2bit

whee! fireworks for me. Thanks all cluers

First we played SuperScrabble, with the huge board and double the number of tiles. I was close until the end when my friend had 2 great turns and pulled ahead. Then we played regular Scrabble and she whooped me. As my Scrabble Self-Esteem score has plummetted, I am here to raise my Babble Self-Esteem score.

7:58 pm

Mom

so sorry Scrabbler, finishing this will end the day on an up beat note

7:59 pm
