Click the settings tab, and adjust the resolution...that might work...

2:35 am

BabbleRabble

I can change the size of the grid by clicking on it and scrolling up and down with the ALT key depressed; if you click on the page, depress ALT and hit zero, the default size is supposed to return

Andree

what are you studying herin

2:59 am

sprite

glad you enjoyed it!

2:59 am

rolin

i really dont want to attempt to get to work..but might have to

3:00 am

Atalante

husband has to stay home - no trains running

3:00 am

herinfernallady

Advance Diploma in Business: Legal Practise and Business Administration. Its a dual course

3:00 am

Andree

would you have to drive rolin

3:00 am

herinfernallady

wow ata wow

3:00 am

Andree

sounds good herin

3:01 am

herinfernallady

our trains stopped running this week for heat

3:01 am

herinfernallady

last week not this week

3:02 am

Atalante

ours stop running cos our train companies are crap

3:02 am

herinfernallady

Connex?

3:02 am

Andree

must be related to ours ata

3:03 am

sprite

sounds like the netherlands. Trains don't ride in winter because of sudden snow or frozen switches. Don't ride in autumn because of sudden leaves on the tracks. Don't ride in summer because of sudden heat. Seems the company is surprise all through the year, every year.

3:03 am

Atalante

Connex is no more. alleluia!

3:04 am

Atalante

absolutely, sprite!

3:04 am

herinfernallady

They rooted your train system?

3:05 am

Atalante

connex were crap, so they got booted out, and another company toook over. who are equally crap

3:05 am

herinfernallady

Sprite Maybe the train system doesn't like surprises?

3:05 am

sprite

maybe the people that run the system are lousy

3:06 am

herinfernallady

So our (insert swear word) government gives Connex the contract to root our system. The worse thing maintenance hasn't been done and then they blame Unions.

3:07 am

sprite

woot found the 8. Thought the 9 would be related but guess it isn't.

3:08 am

herinfernallady

No idea

3:09 am

Andree

the unions must share some blame, they stop work over the slightest thing

3:09 am

herinfernallady

but I ahve to agree with UNions as they prevent deaths in work place especially on building sites

3:10 am

herinfernallady

excuse me neeeds to wash dishes

3:11 am

sprite

sin bin for lady

3:15 am

Andree

3:33 am

herinfernallady

3:35 am

herinfernallady

OH well i can't dwell on something I stuffed up. All i can do is email her check the online campus notes and get it back

3:46 am

mrpresident

thanks infern

3:46 am

herinfernallady

I had a 3 hour nap today. I missed a class as I misread my time table :(

3:46 am

sprite

sounds to me like you are stretching your limits too far, mrP!

3:46 am

lynxxx

take it easy MRP

3:47 am

mrpresident

on a lighter note... how is everyone?

3:47 am

sprite

very tired but otherwise ok today, mrP.

3:47 am

herinfernallady

about to go to bed :)

3:47 am

lynxxx

good here - he** has subsided

3:48 am

mrpresident

and is this grid more decent than yesterday??

3:48 am

mrpresident

oh yay lynxx and infern!! the heat has been aweful for you all, and Adelaide copped it again today

3:48 am

sprite

very easy grid

3:48 am

mrpresident

omg... PB for me

3:49 am

lynxxx

Adelaide just goes on and on - poor buggers

3:49 am

lynxxx

oops - me/PB too

3:49 am

mrpresident

LOL lynxx!! bring some throat lozengers please!

3:50 am

mrpresident

at this rate, the grid should be done in a jiffy with all the PB words!

3:50 am

mrpresident

you feeling better Sprite?

3:50 am

sprite

just very tired, mrP, otherwise ok

3:51 am

mrpresident

did you have a big weekend??

3:51 am

sprite

just too many things in too little time, system overload.

3:52 am

mrpresident

ah, you and me running up the same flag pole sprite :)

3:53 am

mrpresident

I could have used a week off this week! But no one else to take my place until 10th Feb

3:53 am

mrpresident

oh man! do I get immunity for being in the PB already?? or is there torture devices in here for putting more grid words in

3:53 am

sprite

am taking measures to bring down the input, so my system can recover :)

3:54 am

mrpresident

tell me your secret sprite?

3:54 am

sprite

it is a secret you don't wanna hear about, lol. It consists of saying "no" a lot more often than before.

3:55 am

mrpresident

oh! that secret!! LOL... brilliant plan darling!! (((hugs)))

3:56 am

lynxxx

24 hours from Tulsa - not accepted

3:56 am

sprite

so for today that means: not answering the phone, not calling people, not doing many chores, taking a nap, not bringing Caya to the physiotherapist, not putting up with more stuff from my son.

3:58 am

mrpresident

wow sprite!! that is strong stuff!
You should bottle that spirit and sell it! You would make a fortune!!
I had a mum in canteen today that could have used that stuff.

3:58 am

mrpresident

She just came out of hospital 6 weeks ago, was in for 4 months.
PND.
Has had to be strong FOR herself and say no

3:59 am

lynxxx

is that the same mum who's daughter went off the rails a while ago? How is that girl now?

4:00 am

mrpresident

During lunch hour, she broke down... said she felt guilty for not being a good mum... this was her first day out of the house.

4:00 am

lynxxx

Wow..4 mths..that would be hard to get everything back to normal

4:00 am

sprite

lol... I only learned because the alternative was even worse. Shattering completely inside and not even being able to show it can be deadly. So now I am learning to say no...

4:00 am

mrpresident

no lynxx, this lady has 4 kids, just had a little girl 6 months ago

4:00 am

mrpresident

She suffered severe post natal depression and had to go away

4:01 am

mrpresident

The other girl is turning into a right horror... the poor thing

4:02 am

mrpresident

Maddison had to release that friendship before xmas... they are not in the same class this year.

4:02 am

lynxxx

I don't understand why some people are so unkind to themselves. If you do the right thing by YOURself, usually everything else will fall into line

4:02 am

sprite

see, we all have a burden to carry. Wouldn't trade mine for hers for all the world, seriously.

4:03 am

mrpresident

sprite, you could have snapped hun... good on you for turning it all around! keep strong sweetness :)

4:03 am

lynxxx

ad about bthat girl, I was hoping she would have grown up a bit by now

4:03 am

mrpresident

Post Natal Depression is deadly for some... it was for her

4:03 am

lynxxx

(sad)

4:03 am

sprite

ah but lyn, you are so balanced in many ways! Which I love about you, by the way. But many people are very insecure and tend to feel guilty more often than needed.

4:04 am

mrpresident

fraid not lynxx, she is getting to be an adolecent now... very poor form

4:04 am

sprite

I will, mrP! Never giving up, that is me. Must sound familiar to you, grin.

4:05 am

mrpresident

Yes Sprite, that is what is happening to this mum... she is guilty as hell about everything! She thinks she is doing a bad job, ... she said she came to canteen to help out cause she wanted her children to know she cared.
And yet, her children adore her to bits! I hugged her, told her nothing and nobody is perfect, and everyday is like that... we cry, we laugh, we carry on, and our kids never stop loving us for it

4:06 am

mrpresident

She is on very very high doses of anti depressants... but I didn't know it was her first day out ... she was terrified!!

4:07 am

sprite

Perhaps this mum might want to read Judith Viorst? She is great. Writes about being a "good enough mum" in stead of being a 'good mum', whatever that may be.

4:07 am

lynxxx

I hope she still gets ongoing help (side from meds) for a while, she sounds very fragile

4:07 am

mrpresident

I am a great mum, by being good enough!!

4:07 am

sprite

indeed, lyn

4:09 am

mrpresident

she is lynxx... it is sad though, so many people don't take PND seriously.
She told me about one of the mum's at school, inviting her to a tea they have in the mornings up the road. This mum said to her... 'you should come along, one of the other ladies has "that thing" that you have'.

4:09 am

sprite

how cruel

4:09 am

lynxxx

not cruel, ignorant

4:10 am

mrpresident

indeed! she was so upset... she politely said no, and walked away furious

4:10 am

mrpresident

yes lynxx, completely ignorant

4:10 am

sprite

hmmm ok that is what I mean by balanced. You are right, it is ignorance. But it hurts the receiving party lots.

4:15 am

mrpresident

you are right sprite, this grid is nice!!

4:15 am

sprite

isn´t it ±'

4:15 am

lynxxx

I need to get going..see you both later. Hope the whelping goes well Sprite and that there are lots of healthy puppies for you to choose from

4:16 am

The first 2/3 are fine, LoriP. The rest don't exist.

5:47 am

why because it's snowing outside can't I get motivated to do something indoors?

5:47 am

LoriP

Excellent, then I only have120-ish words to find....

5:48 am

LoriP

mari, you're doing something indoors, you're Babbling!

5:48 am

mari

you're right :)

5:48 am

MonkeyGames

OK, better get responsible now. Must compose a letter in Dutch to the other moms in Walter's class to see if he can go to someone's house Wednesdays and Fridays after school in case i find work, and take the dog to the woods, and get rid of the sheer tons of school paperwork sitting around in piles because now that I have my degree it's all just a fire hazard.

Poor Hobbit

Atalante

Hobbit has hurt her paw

5:51 am

LoriP

Oh no! :( Sore paw is not good. Minor or major?

5:52 am

Atalante

middle. actually a nail, not the paw, it got trimmed rather excessively yesterday (by accident of course!), so her paw is all bandaged up to stop little red blobs following her everywhere she goes

5:52 am

mari

must get on bbl bye all

5:53 am

LoriP

Aww, poor Hobbit. Unpleasant for all. :(

5:53 am

LoriP

Later mari, have a good one.

5:53 am

she's fine, doesn't bother her at all, it's just not fun to bandage her paw :(

i don't know

6:08 am

ardilla

6:08 am

Trifioso

6:09 am

ardilla

i hope so

6:09 am

Trifioso

I meant the custody is a blessing, not that you don't know about the mom....

6:09 am

ardilla

he's loving it

6:09 am

ardilla

he has a lot of support from his parents

6:10 am

ardilla

6:10 am

ardilla

he listens for hayden all night

6:11 am

Trifioso

well, of course! and do you think he has had an opportunity, and support for, grieving the daughter he lost? That piece is crucial, and should not get lost in all the other stress that has been going on

6:11 am

LoriP

Belated g'd morning ardilla

6:28 am

6:30 am

Trifioso

we have a nice casserole here in NE that is browned mince and onion on the bottom, then creamed corn, then mashed potatoes on top, cooked in a oven til the potatoes brown a bit. lovely stuff...might make it tonight, now's I think....

6:31 am

ardilla

what's mince?

6:31 am

crosshair

if you can substitute regular nibblets corn that sounds delish trif

6:31 am

ardilla

sounds kinda like a shepherd pie

6:31 am

Trifioso

minced beef....hamburger, ground beef, whatever you call it

6:31 am

ardilla

oh, okay

6:32 am

Trifioso

yes, I think it would be okay, cross, but not as wet. i like corn, so no worries here

6:32 am

crosshair

it is a shepards pie;)

6:32 am

Trifioso

i think shepherds pie traditionally has a crust, and is made with lamb, isn't it?

6:32 am

ardilla

doh...

6:32 am

crosshair

though we add peas from time to time

6:32 am

ardilla

don't know

6:33 am

crosshair

no on the crust and yes on the lamb

6:33 am

Trifioso

sigh, where are all the brits when we need them?

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

Trifioso

my kids were complaining about how almost no one in NE has house numbers, and I was laughing as I told them about how people down in VA paint the numbers on their front curbs. would be BEYOND useless here

6:54 am

Sally-catlover

We live on a steep bend, and have a very clever council who come round in the autumn and leave a heap of grit on the side of the road for when it snows. Guess what? When it snows you can't find the grit!

6:55 am

Trifioso

oh no sally!

it is an adventure AK... good way to look at it, will make the next month or two manageable... I remember when I broke my ankle last year and was bed bound for a bit, then dependent on others for a couple months... humbling, informative, and have never felt more clearly how much people love me... so sit back and soak it up

I really wanted to cardinals to win, but I can't say why. Don't watch football, don't know the teams, but I guess the Cardinals just seemed like underdogs, and I always root for them.

8:56 am

KatieMcG

8:57 am

Trifioso

thanks katie. I hope I don't cry. I am wicked frustrated with my girl, and when I get frustrated and angry I sometimes cry, and that would be so embarrassing in front of the teacher! teachers still scare the hell out of me.

8:57 am

phaeton

Morning!

8:57 am

Anniebrook

Trif, Hang in there.

8:57 am

Trifioso

morning darling phae!

ohhhhh found another word that uses the X..... the cr** of the matter is......

8:58 am

Trifioso

and a good morning to you too, phae!

8:58 am

KatieMcG

try and write a list before you go with your main points on it, then just get it out and concentrate on it. It might help just to give you time and step back. As for "in front of the teacher" I think most are just glad to find a parent that cares enough to be frustrated these days

8:59 am

Trifioso

thanks katie - GREAT sugggestions! will def do the list thing, that is excellent!

8:59 am

EvaNadine

got the lonley U and the lonely G, thanks!
still working on that lonely H...

8:59 am

Trifioso

it's a 7, did i say that?

9:00 am

EvaNadine

got it -- thanks!

9:00 am

Trifioso

well done evanadine!

9:01 am

EvaNadine

got the 8?
(i asked for a clue earlier, but then got mildly swamped in work)

9:03 am

Trifioso

yup - to knock something out of place

9:03 am

flosey

di8 - to remove

9:03 am

Trifioso

flosey! hey there dear - didn't see you sneak in!

9:04 am

Anniebrook

phanthom---cudgel

9:04 am

Trifioso

whew! finally finished the s's

9:04 am

flosey

just came in to change icon - off to a carpet bowling competition between 2 clubs. Will be late for flip tonight

9:05 am

Trifioso

geez. don't know what the correct good luck words are for carpet bowling, so I guess just "good luck!" will have to do it!

9:05 am

flosey

thanks Trif, I'm not very good but our club has only 8 members (4 per team)

9:06 am

Trifioso

I hope you have fun!

9:07 am

flosey

will definitely do that Trif - I laughed at the thought of CB but found it was quite fun. This is the OAP group - Old Age Pensioners! We recently changed it to South Salt Spring Seniors (OAP) since we have to retain that ending

9:07 am

Anniebrook

hi flosey, what is carpet bowling..do you bowl on carpets?

9:07 am

Trifioso

Yes, my fil was big in to the OAPs in ireland

9:08 am

Trifioso

they called it "wednesday club"

9:10 am

flosey

yes Annie, special carpets - similar to indoor/outdoor carpet. It's more like curling in a sense, balls are slightly eliptical. so must be thrown just right or they wabble. The aim is to get closest to the "jack" a small white ball which is thrown first.

9:11 am

Anniebrook

ah, thank you, flosey...have fun and good luck

9:11 am

flosey

thanks Annie, we will definitely have fun!

9:14 am

flosey

Must get ready, will be picked up just after 8: to get the 9 am ferry to Crofton (within walking distance of the dock so don't need to take the car over)

9:15 am

NonoNanette

bye flosey have fun

9:15 am

flosey

will be back in time to rest up for bridge tonight - then late flip - usually about an hour later.

9:15 am

flosey

thanks Nono

9:15 am

Trifioso

i am so jealous of you all that get the flip at a decent hour. happens at one am here!

9:16 am

flosey

ah yes Trif, as when I'm visiting sons in Toronto area

9:17 am

Trifioso

i stayed up waaay too late last night, and now can't decide whether to take a nap and get stuff done later, or push through the day in a fog and then go to bed early

9:18 am

flosey

my vote would be take a nap now - didn't you say you have to meet with the teacher? want to be well rested for that

9:18 am

Anniebrook

nap, trif

9:18 am

Trifioso

yes, I do, at four.

9:19 am

Trifioso

okay, will take the nap. have 10 words to go, and then it's sleepies

9:19 am

flosey

can I help?

9:20 am

Trifioso

hmmm so far so good.

9:20 am

flosey

with the last few words that is, not about to attempt to sing a lullaby - croak, croak

9:20 am

Trifioso

will yell when cornered, promise!

9:21 am

flosey

ok, in meantime, I'll get myself ready

9:22 am

EvaNadine

got myself a full 100 words now, so i guess it means i should actually do some work...

9:25 am

11:17 am

phaeton

we rented Appaloosa...lousy

11:17 am

Krista

i truly enjoyed that movie

11:17 am

Krista

no, not a hubby kind of movie, lol

11:18 am

jacq

good afternoon everyone

11:18 am

jacq

snow day!!!!!!!!

11:18 am

kje

yay jac!

11:18 am

phaeton

getting very much jacq?

11:18 am

jacq

we have about 4 - 5 inches and more forecast

11:19 am

phaeton

It always amazes me when a few inches paralyze cities...

11:19 am

Takuma Sato

lol, phae -- DC shuts down if 2 inches fall

11:20 am

phaeton

jacq...is it blowing and drifting too?

11:20 am

jacq

same here phae

11:20 am

Takuma Sato

It's as if they're surprised every year when it snows

11:20 am

jacq

no blowing or drifting at least not here

11:20 am

jacq

i agree Takuma

11:20 am

jacq

but i will say that the council here had gritted the roads heavily but it was falling so fast last night it was covered in a short time

11:20 am

Takuma Sato

Here, things won't shut down even for hurricanes, but 2 nights of freeze through everyone into a tizy

11:20 am

phaeton

It has to be over 5 inches and drifting to shut down anything where I live...and sometimes not even that

11:20 am

Takuma Sato

er, tizzy

11:21 am

kje

I nominate the ge's as the most heinous part of this grid

11:21 am

phaeton

where is that Tak?

11:21 am

jacq

i know back home we would have still managed to keep the roads open

11:21 am

jacq

there are ge's????

11:21 am

phaeton

How many are there kje? I only have one...ge6

11:22 am

Takuma Sato

I'm in north-central Florida at the moment, in the SE US

11:22 am

kje

well, a city has to decide what to pay for... and if it gets a couple inches of ice and snow 1-2/year... they are not going to invest in salt and plows... easier and more cost-effective to shut things down

11:22 am

tragicstud

i do not enjoy the ge's or the ha's

11:22 am

tragicstud

or the gh or the go's

11:22 am

kje

7 ge

11:22 am

phaeton

true kje...it's just amusing to us northeners

11:23 am

Takuma Sato

oops phae -- I confused your flag with jacq's and did want to assume every knew where i was talking about

11:23 am

jacq

true kje but it's not just the road clearing, it's the idiots who go out when theydon't have to they add to the congestion on poor road surfaces and slow everyone down even more

11:23 am

kje

all the go's but one are normal words... and there is only 1 gh - so kinda hard to get worked upover them

11:23 am

Takuma Sato

I didn't think that *you* don't know where FL is, jacq ;)

11:23 am

BzznBea

It is amusing to us midwesterners living in the south, as well.

11:23 am

Takuma Sato

er, phae

11:23 am

Takuma Sato

ok, 3 chat mistakes is my cue to return to the grid and lurk for awhile ;)

11:24 am

kje

when I moved north, it amused me that they would close schools for temps being to hot... that was ridiculous to someone who lived in 100 + routinely, and nothing shuts down

11:24 am

jacq

fl , would that be florida?

11:24 am

jacq

i'm UK

11:24 am

Takuma Sato

yep

11:24 am

kje

it is all what the city is prepared to handle

11:24 am

jacq

lol

11:24 am

kje

yes jac FL is florida

11:24 am

jacq

agreed again

11:24 am

jacq

but i think people should be given lessons on how to drive on snow and ice

11:25 am

phaeton

most of the schools in the north don't have AC

11:25 am

Takuma Sato

the heat can be a big problem in northern cities in which air conditioning is very rare

11:25 am

kje

maybe, jac... and you do learn it in driver's ed... but really, inless you practice, it doesn't matter... and if you only see it once/year you will never get proficient at it

11:26 am

Takuma Sato

heh, my father made me learn to drive on snow and ice before I was set loose on the roads

11:26 am

kje

see phae and takuma... that is the thing, it is no different for southeners with no salt

11:26 am

phaeton

I went to a school that had a fiberglass green roof over the hall...super hot in the spring, summer and fall

11:26 am

jacq

i love driving in and on snow

11:26 am

KatieMcG

I'm rubbish at driving in the snow so stayed at home to work today, I'm one of those people who is really safer not going out. I have only ever missed two days off work because of it. I worked harder today at home than I would have in the office!!

11:27 am

phaeton

true kje...no heat doesn't help learning

11:27 am

kje

I have lived a good portion of my life in both climates... so realize it is no use mocking the other side for what they are ill-prepared for

11:27 am

jacq

lol Katie

11:27 am

Takuma Sato

I agree, kje -- the DC situation is a bit different, though, since it gets hot there every year, and it snows there every year.

11:27 am

Takuma Sato

that's why I felt comfortable making fun of that city

11:27 am

kje

well, DC just likes closing schools... then everyone is safer - LOL

11:28 am

KatieMcG

I have now got an automatic and REALLY don't know how to drive that in snow. I'm going to try and get in tomorrow but it depends on how much snow falls tonight. Boss has been good and told me to stay safe rather than take risks to get to meetings, which was really nice of him

11:28 am

Takuma Sato

ha, likewise the federal government won't turn down a chance to have the day off ;)

11:28 am

Krista

closing DC would make everyone safer

11:28 am

kje

LOL takuma

11:28 am

jacq

better to be safe than to be sued

11:29 am

KatieMcG

Cats have not been out today, how long can they go out without going to the toilet?

11:29 am

jacq

lol, careful they don't explode, pee blood and fur will make an awful mess

11:29 am

Takuma Sato

the only thing about that is, the museums close when the govt closes, and if you live in the city museum-going would be the perfect snowy day activity

11:29 am

phaeton

Katie, what makes you think thay haven't gone to the toilet?

11:30 am

KatieMcG

I'm working on the principle the house would smell phae ;-)

11:30 am

Takuma Sato

cats I've known could go for quite a long time, unless they were kittens or very old

11:30 am

phaeton

Well, better go sniffing Katie :)

11:31 am

phaeton

Hi red

11:31 am

Takuma Sato

or just go get a bin of the sand you were going to use on the walk ;)

11:31 am

KatieMcG

I'd better go and do the washing up before hubby struggles in. Cats may well be thrown out in the snow for a bathroom break after their dinner!!

11:31 am

redturtlehead

reading back about the cats, sniffing. My Mom had an older cat that used to go in the tub (ugh).

11:31 am

Takuma Sato

hi red

11:32 am

redturtlehead

Hi jacq, phaeton, krista, Takuma...

Takuma Sato

Krista

11:34 am

periwinkle

yep, I am about to call my provider, it has been getting worse the last few months

11:35 am

Takuma Sato

11:35 am

redturtlehead

Oh No, Krista. i didnt, but no Action yet on house...

11:35 am

periwinkle

I just had a bowl of popcorn for lunch :-)

11:35 am

redturtlehead

the U word, is u plus spanish word for 2.

11:35 am

periwinkle

U+ spanish for two (I think)

11:35 am

Takuma Sato

You know, Peri, their tech people can see how fast your connection is, and in my experience they've been good about recognizing (and owning up to) connection problems

11:35 am

periwinkle

great minds, red

11:36 am

periwinkle

I use Verizon

11:36 am

Takuma Sato

thanks peri and red -- I don't know that I would have figured that one out

11:36 am

Krista

i've know a few people who have successfully sold houses recently..of course they didn't get as much as they wanted, but they DID sell

11:37 am

jacq

it's a buyers market, provided they can get a loan

11:37 am

redturtlehead

All I want is to walk away from the house without debt still owed. I am just very anxious.

11:37 am

phaeton

Nothing is worth what you paid for it these days...and nothing seems to be appreciating either

11:37 am

Krista

we had to reduce my husband's gmother's house in England by 100,000 pounds..now that hurts

11:38 am

stidmama

hello all. (((red))) I am keeping my fingers crossed.

11:38 am

redturtlehead

The only good thing is that my house is in an area that has had less flux in the market. The realtor listed it for more than I bought it for...

11:38 am

periwinkle

hi stid

11:38 am

Hi Stiddy!

11:45 am

redturtlehead

11:45 am

Takuma Sato

oh -- I just got it. I thought that word was going to start with the G in the second column, for some reason... brain fade

11:45 am

stidmama

it's actually a polyester one that I bought at least 15 years ago at a street fair. brown with ecru and light pink daisy-like flowers.

11:50 am

jacq

my daughter has one Krista, she says it's the most fun she's had since she made the baby

11:50 am

Krista

i think this was babblerabble's clue: Japanese courtesan (and plural)

11:50 am

redturtlehead

Cats are smart, but you dont want them using houseplants to relieve selves.

11:50 am

stidmama

thanks for the Gs!

11:50 am

tragicstud

yes, helpful :)

11:51 am

Takuma Sato

wow -- did you mean what it looked like you meant, there, jacq?

11:51 am

Krista

jac, i am just wondering how accurate the scales are before i get too excited about losing weight

11:51 am

stidmama

*blush*

11:51 am

Takuma Sato

you may have just caused a serious bump in wii fit sales among babblers

11:51 am

Krista

stidmama

I am stumped by the ED 5/16s...

12:09 pm

Jumala

new here - what does "r 2/2" mean? word possible and gotten from that letter?

12:10 pm

joshuavorbis

take away the first letter d from what sherlock holmes does to solve cases

12:10 pm

stidmama

it means a word starts with that letter or letters, is so many long and is worth so many points.

12:10 pm

TinaB

ed5/16 is pl of ed 4/7

12:10 pm

stidmama

so ed 5/16 is a 5-letter word starting ED worth 16 points.

12:10 pm

stidmama

thanks tina

12:11 pm

TinaB

no problem, its also another word for border (pl)

12:11 pm

stidmama

hm. no, that doesn't work...

12:11 pm

Atalante

nobody loves me :(

12:11 pm

stidmama

I meant the last two ed 5/16. *sigh* I am so slow today

12:11 pm

stidmama

((((atalante)))) except me!

12:12 pm

stidmama

OH! I monkeyed them... thanks!

12:12 pm

joshuavorbis

when a store lowers prices, they r_____ them. take away the R and you have an ed5/16

12:12 pm

Atalante

awwww yay *hugs stiddy back*

12:12 pm

stidmama

good clue though joshua

12:12 pm

TinaB

good clue josh

12:12 pm

Jumala

thanks stig, that was referring to the clues here I think... I meant on my screen in the Tile Stats section: R 2/2... or maybe I am just confused...

12:13 pm

stidmama

so atalante, spill the beans. did hobbit roll in something again?

12:13 pm

stidmama

oh1 it means that particular tile has X left of y total that start there.

12:13 pm

stidmama

if a word could be formed starting from more than one tile, the one that is higher and more to the left is used.

12:14 pm

Jumala

ok, thanks Stid... :)

12:14 pm

TinaB

12:27 pm

redturtlehead

OOOOH, that wasnt a question.

12:27 pm

magazinemom

red- always glad to help!

12:27 pm

stidmama

how about sweet talk? or --- *thinking* sledgehammer?

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

Oh stid, my shoes do suck, the answer to it is to get new shoes. I was just fooling about with Ata a bit...she didnt update me on her art supplies though.

12:28 pm

stidmama

two more minutes and I will finish the last chapter I must read today and then take a nap before going back to the middle school

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

right now its double socks. And hope for a windfall so i can get new shoes.

12:28 pm

Atalante

It's far too cold for traditioal art supplies at the moment, I've turned digital and I'm using my wacom tablet

12:28 pm

stidmama

I am sorry your shoes are sub-par, red. I know how very important good equipment is to athletes

12:29 pm

jonnyb

oops sorry wrong one it was the sl6/21

12:29 pm

stidmama

SL 6/21 is a plural of the 5.12

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

LOL stid. I tried a cheap pair, and this is what I get shoes with cement feeling soles that wont wear out!

12:30 pm

stidmama

you know, I love working in the schools, but my feet need a lot of extra cushioning. what about those gel inserts?

12:30 pm

stidmama

that's what I use and I make it through the day without foot, leg or back pain now

12:30 pm

jonnyb

ty i coodnt see how to get to the second s

12:30 pm

redturtlehead

Ata needs a snuggie, the blanket with arms.

12:30 pm

Atalante

those things are great

12:30 pm

jonnyb

fireworks

12:30 pm

stidmama

I know the feeling jonny -- sometimes you just have to follow your instincts even if something seems impossible

12:31 pm

stidmama

YAY jonnyb!

12:31 pm

Atalante

I DO!

12:31 pm

BabbleRabble

congrats, jonnyb

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

I'm going to have to try an insert, but deep down...I want a new pair of shoes. I just can not justify the 130 bucks...

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

OMG Ata, we are discussing my shoes like a bicycle! how scary and deeply shameful of me.

12:31 pm

stidmama

I hear that red! I will spend money for the kids' shoes (and jackets and ...) but not for mine unless they're massively on sale.

12:32 pm

Atalante

that's appalling of you, red

12:32 pm

stidmama

okay, I need to go lie down. back tomorrow probably -- this is my busy evening.

12:32 pm

redturtlehead

it is. I apologize and beg for forgiveness.

12:32 pm

stidmama

(((hugs all))) and hello BR, sorry to leave just as you come in.

12:32 pm

Atalante

hello, stid, be well

12:33 pm

redturtlehead

have a great day stid and keep warm.

12:33 pm

redturtlehead

you should Ata. How is it, does it compare to the real stuff?

12:33 pm

stidmama

*poof*

12:33 pm

Atalante

it's very odd. it's not as tactile as the real stuff, but you can erase things when it goes wrong!!

12:34 pm

BabbleRabble

you cannot justify the cost, but you can justify the pain and discomfort and great potential for foot problems?

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

Not having any real problems BR, just hat ethe way they feel.

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

I saw my crane today...and oddly picked and ate an orange straight off a tree.

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

Ata, do you then print the image or how does that work?

12:35 pm

BabbleRabble

yeah for the crane

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

12:37 pm

lol probably the shortest walk we've ever done!

3:12 pm

KatieMcG

I'm going to get a pedometer so it guilts me in to walking more. Hubby is doing his degree after work so when it gets lighter I will walk to Mari's in the evening

3:12 pm

Atalante

those are good for guilt

3:13 pm

KatieMcG

I'm watching The Swan for inspiration, although I wouldn't have the surgery they get put through

3:13 pm

KatieMcG

that's what I thought Ata I will get one at class tomorrow. How have you got on this week?

3:14 pm

redturtlehead

Walking is super exercise, I love to walk and look at the birds and flowers.

3:14 pm

Atalante

2lb. not great. but did go out in london on friday for big meal and many drinks!

3:14 pm

periwinkle

Hello

3:15 pm

KatieMcG

I'm always making excuses as I don't get back from work until 7.00pm usually. However I have targets from my consellor for work and one of those is to take a lunch break. I'm working on the principle that I would kill two birds with one stone and take a walk in the break I have to take.

3:15 pm

periwinkle

I was looking at the want ads in the paper and saw the following ad: Physician Assistant and Front Desk. I am not qualified to be a physician assistant so I thought I would apply to be the front desk :-)

3:16 pm

KatieMcG

2lbs is good. You need to take things steady. I have started eating more this week and have lost more weight I think!

3:16 pm

Atalante

woooot! that's perfect!

3:17 pm

Atalante

I loved the concept of being able to go out and have a really good night and not wreck everything

3:17 pm

Chatz

Greetings! 44 left -I'm determined! --> AS9 72 eludes me...?

3:17 pm

periwinkle

what they are actually looking for is office staff

3:17 pm

periwinkle

thought the ad was kind of funny tho

3:19 pm

KatieMcG

it's important that you can do things like that otherwise you can't see it as a life style change. My consellor says that you have to do something 28 times before you have to stop thinking about it really hard and then another 84 times before it becomes a habbit. She obviously wasn't talking about my healthy eating but I thought it made sense

3:19 pm

Krista

you could get a job writing want ads for them, Peri!

3:19 pm

Atalante

well office staff is good!

3:19 pm

redturtlehead

Office staff could be a fun job...and you could write the want ads.

3:20 pm

periwinkle

I do not think office staff would be a fun job at all

3:20 pm

periwinkle

it is for a pain center near me

3:20 pm

redturtlehead

I did it in college and enjoyed it,

3:20 pm

periwinkle

they do not offer Reiki

3:20 pm

redturtlehead

BUT, not for a pain centre, Peri, run run from the pain centre.

3:20 pm

periwinkle

I was a medical secretary many years ago before I went back to college. I worked in hospitals and did not find it fun

3:21 pm

periwinkle

was not thinking of applying red. but why do you say to run

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

what is a pain center? We don't have places selling pain!

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

well maybe we do but nice people don't know about things like that

3:21 pm

Atalante

yes, we do. diet shops

3:21 pm

redturtlehead

I am not a fan of many pain centre patients. So many do not make an effort to try anything but medications and thus they dont get better...and then they end up in the ER telling us they have run out of meds...

3:22 pm

periwinkle

the ad did not specify the facility but I looked up pain centers in my ara. They offer ways to help with pain, meds and other modalities

3:22 pm

redturtlehead

Chronic Pain is a terrible thing to live with. I can not understand why people only want the medications.

3:22 pm

periwinkle

I would love to work at a holistic place where they offer massage, Reiki, acupuncture etc

3:23 pm

periwinkle

I agree with you red

3:23 pm

redturtlehead

That would be I think more interesting!

3:23 pm

periwinkle

no facilities like that near me tho

3:24 pm

periwinkle

would love to set up such a place but not funds

3:24 pm

redturtlehead

Maybe you need to open one. But I guess that requires capital.

3:24 pm

redturtlehead

GMTA!

3:24 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Reiki is so wonderful....I took classes from my Chiropractor many years ago and it helps me (and others).

3:25 pm

redturtlehead

3:28 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

3:28 pm

3:28 pm

KatieMcG

Aussie what is a Clavinova?

3:28 pm

Krista

it's so beautiful

3:28 pm

Aussieme

If you refresh, and look at my icon pic, you will see what fun we had in the garden just !

3:29 pm

Aussieme

Clavinova ?

3:29 pm

redturtlehead

Its sort of a piano, but the strings are plucked, am I right about the clavinova?

3:29 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Phaeton, I used to play bingo many years ago.

3:29 pm

Krista

wow, that's a lot of work, Aussie! bet she had a blast

3:29 pm

KatieMcG

Becky says she will have to sell hers on facebook

3:29 pm

redturtlehead

Aussie, love your snowmen!

3:29 pm

phaeton

there was a gapeach on pogo last night, but different #'s after the name...wondered if it was you

3:30 pm

KatieMcG

Ahhhhhh slapping herself. Claire said it and she is ata's sister! Ignore me Aussie, the snow is obviously getting to me

3:30 pm

Aussieme

The snowman was easy !! I sent Hubby out with a shovel, and he shovelled most of the snow from th back lawn, and we made the snowmen ! We have a snow family !

3:30 pm

Aussieme

:0)

3:30 pm

Atalante

oh - clavinova is a - piano thing

3:30 pm

phaeton

Katie, ya gotta stop blamin the snow for everthin!

3:30 pm

Aussieme

Its ok Katie !

3:31 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Krista, Reiki 2 is good...unless you want to teach and then you will need the third level.

3:31 pm

redturtlehead

I'm a little wrong, I thnk it is an electric piano.

3:31 pm

KatieMcG

Good job I would hate to have to buy her cat :-)

3:31 pm

Atalante

The Clavinova is a long-running line of digital pianos created by the Yamaha Corporation. They are similar in styling to an acoustic piano, but with many features common to other digital pianos such as the ability to save and load songs

3:31 pm

KatieMcG

Lol Phae 'till it melts I'm going to blame it!!!!

3:31 pm

phaeton

Krista....the movie is definitely worth seeing!!

3:32 pm

Atalante

its a small and compact digital version of a proper piano. I think. Ish

3:32 pm

Aussieme

and there you have it !! Ata once again teaches us something we know nothing of ! :0)

3:32 pm

Krista

i am slightly confused by that ga, because there are classes offered locally for reiki 3 if you want to teach, and reiki 3 if you don't..would like to know difference

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

Her sister does have one Aussie!!

3:32 pm

Krista

i was scheduled to take R3 last week, actually, but kids were sick

3:32 pm

Aussieme

:0)

3:32 pm

Atalante

I only know cos sister tells me what it does every time I say "that piano thing"

3:33 pm

Aussieme

Sorry, I blame the snow too !!

3:33 pm

Krista

lol Ata

3:33 pm

KatieMcG

Oh here comes the reveal on The Swan

3:33 pm

KatieMcG

wtg Aussie

3:33 pm

Aussieme

ROFL Ata !

3:34 pm

Atalante

she's incredibly musical - would have done it professionally - I'm completely clueless about it!

3:34 pm

periwinkle

not liking this grid, still 52 left to find

3:34 pm

Aussieme

Thats cool Ata !

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

I have 50 peri and I think it might be time for the list.

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

Krista

u getting snow, peri?

3:34 pm

KatieMcG

32 here

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

bows to Phaeton!

3:35 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Krista, I just really don't need the third level....I have seen miracles without the other level. I would never charge anyone for 'sending' or working hands on. It's something...like, well, I'm just the vehicle for this energy.

3:35 pm

Aussieme

Ha! I dont like it either Peri, I still have 121 to find ! I have chatted far too much, but I said it before, I dont come for the game all the time, I come for the people and the game, but I think of my firends welfare before the grid ! (am I so terrible ?)

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

oh horrid Aussie.

3:35 pm

phaeton

geez aussie...put us to shame! :) I come for the game and the chat comes 2nd. ;)

3:36 pm

periwinkle

if I really want to find word, I do not chat. I like to complete a grid once I start. No problem with chatting tho

3:37 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Gosh no Aussie, I was being a bit sarcastic, it doesnt translate well on grid.

3:37 pm

KatieMcG

I do both in equal measure. I've not got fireworks much recently but have been busy in the evenings

3:37 pm

Aussieme

OH !! ROFL !

3:37 pm

Krista

i go back and forth on that issue, ga..traning takes money, time, and some skill, and it's a valuable service..but I know what you are saying, and agree..depending on the day, lol!

3:37 pm

I keep hoping for clues for words i don't have...(hint,hint)

3:38 pm
