10s Gu

3:06 am
Manang
Im new here. I just tried playing Babble. I only created 18 words.
3:06 am
westford
years ago there was an animated puppet more or less like the muppets
3:06 am
10s Gu
thanks book
3:06 am
westford
this is a difficult grid to begin on manang
3:07 am
bookwomen
hate to finish and run but time for bed. good night.
3:07 am
westford
just keep at it
3:07 am
mrpresident
there are 141 words
3:07 am
mrpresident
like the muppets?
3:07 am
mrpresident
night book
3:07 am
Manang
I prefer playing Bookworm. Lol. No offense meant Babble creator. I also like Hangman and Funtrivia games. I also recommend vocab games at freerice.com.
3:08 am
westford
you know the muppets don't you? kermit the frog, miss piggy, gonzo
3:08 am
westford
you will soon like this game as well manang
3:09 am
lynxxx
Goodnight everyone, can't get into this tonite
3:09 am
mrpresident
absolutely west
3:09 am
Manang
I hope so westford. thanks for the attention.
3:09 am
westford
well there was a special called Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas
3:10 am
westford
our son was about 13 and he was watching that or so I thought
3:11 am
westford
apparently we got all channels by some fluke and our son in law looked over at the tv and said what is he watching?
3:11 am
Manang
For every correct answer at freerice.com, there is a corresponding rice donation to the hungry. Hope all you will try playing there. Or maybe some of you already did.
3:11 am
westford
turns out it was the playboy channel
3:12 am
westford
Doug said it's a jug band all right but not emmet otter
3:12 am
westford
I play freerice all the time
3:12 am
Manang
Huh! I didnt know that there is a tv version of the Playboy mag! Lol
3:13 am
westford
it was gone that very day manang
3:13 am
westford
that was years ago so it may not be on anymore
3:14 am
Manang
Thanks! westford for playing at freerice. maybe rice donation I received came from your scores at freerice. Joke. But Im a rice eater too. That is why I symphatize with those hungry.
3:14 am
westford
he's 37 now with 2 little girls 5 and 3
3:15 am
westford
rice is so good
3:16 am
Manang
Huh! you eat rice? I eat rice three times a day. We here in the Philippines cant survive without rice. Lol
3:16 am
westford
it's the perfect staple
3:17 am
westford
our daughter was in Bali on her honeymoon and helped shake the rice from the stalks
3:17 am
Manang
But what we got used to consume is the white rice or the polished (all nutrients are gone). Brown or red rice is better than white
3:18 am
westford
that's very true I like long grain and wild rice
3:18 am
Manang
Really! I was raised here in a rice producing nation but I never experience shaking rice fron the stalks.
3:19 am
westford
they hired a driver who took them off the beaten path they had an excellent time
3:20 am
westford
maybe it's different in Indonesia
3:20 am
Manang
Wow that was an unforgettable experience.
3:20 am
westford
we have pictures
3:21 am
Manang
What we and most of the people here eat is the plain rice.
3:21 am
westford
sometimes progress is not progress at all
3:22 am
Manang
I rarely eat fried rice because my stomach tend to rumble. Lol
3:22 am
mrpresident
I love plain rice!!
3:22 am
westford
now that is my favorite fried rice
3:22 am
westford
thought we lost you mrp
3:23 am
westford
rice pudding too
3:23 am
Manang
So did you post your rice-related activity in internet? So what is the progress you are talking about? Is it the path toward the end of the crisis?
3:23 am
Manang
So did you post your rice-related activity in internet? So what is the progress you are talking about? Is it the path toward the end of the crisis?
3:24 am
westford
not so profane I just meant they over process the rice and take all the nutrition out
3:24 am
mrpresident
you did west! to the dreaded spare ribs!
3:25 am
Manang
Rice pudding? I never tasted that? There is a rice delicacy, something which is called a rice cake. It has a sweet syrupy topping.
3:25 am
westford
mmm good
3:26 am
Manang
yeah you are right westford about the progress in rice production
3:26 am
westford
that sounds delicious manang
3:26 am
mrpresident
oh just read back west! LOL
3:26 am
mrpresident
I eat brown rice... love it!
3:26 am
westford
we still laugh about that 13 yr olds can be a caution
3:27 am
mrpresident
Rice Custard is a favourite... I make that myself
3:27 am
westford
it takes longer to cook but it's so much better
3:27 am
Manang
Yeah it is delicious sweet rice recipe. But we rarely eat them. Hope to buy one again to share to loved ones anf friends
3:27 am
westford
what is it called manang?
3:28 am
mrpresident
also here at our local shopping centre, there is a sushi place that makes brown rice sushi... thank goodness!
3:28 am
Manang
so mrpresident you also cook? and rice custard? never heard that?
3:28 am
Manang
Manang means an old woman never married in Philippine language. Im 38 years old.
3:29 am
westford
I see. that is definitely not old
3:29 am
westford
our word would be spinster or old maid
3:30 am
Manang
I think Ive lost my focus on adding more words to create here. I turned to chatting in babble site. Lol
3:30 am
westford
but I meant what is the sweet rice cake called
3:30 am
westford
sometimes it's good to take a break from the words
3:31 am
Manang
I dont know the native language for that sweet rice delicacy.
3:31 am
mrpresident
mana, that is what it is about!
3:31 am
mrpresident
I love to cook... it is just rice with custard, refridgerate and top with cinnamon
3:31 am
westford
when the site was hacked I was hopeless thought I'd never see all you good people again
3:31 am
Manang
I turned to posting a message here when I had difficulty thinking of another word to include.
3:32 am
mrpresident
what?? what hack??
3:32 am
westford
you will be finding some strange words
3:33 am
mrpresident

3:33 am
westford
oh mrp you didn't know? DrG had to get a new server and everything
3:33 am
Manang
Yeah spinster could be another term. English version of manang.
3:34 am
westford
no word list no words getting posted one 'red' message after another
3:34 am
mrpresident
holy heck this movie is scary good
3:35 am
westford
he said the site was 'maliciously' hacked wrote us a big message about it
3:35 am
westford

3:35 am
Manang

3:35 am
westford

3:36 am
westford

3:38 am
westford
a lot of people who play don't chat

3:39 am
westford

3:39 am
mrpresident
I know over 250 people from this site... and love them like family
3:39 am
Manang

6:06 am
jorjahgal

the economy hits healthcare differently scrab... lots of jobs, though if you don't want to move, that is a different story

And I am burned out from winter illness season
6:08 am
Andree
this is probably not a good time for anyone to change jobs
6:09 am
Scrabbler
Nope, and I am grateful to have a job in which I am not under threat of losing it
6:09 am
kje
healthcare is VERY different... if you are unhappy, start looking, scrab... too many good positions out there to put up with an asshole for a boss
6:11 am
Scrabbler
No one told us that colleague issues would be so challenging
6:12 am
Andree
healthcare is different and there probably is not the threat of losing your job but its true that the last hired is the first to go so i would think carefully
6:12 am
kje
they shouldn't be scrab... you got screwed... find someplace else
6:13 am
kje
not in healthcare, andree... it is different... seniority means less
6:13 am
Scrabbler
I would really like to augment my income with artwork--I decoupage furniture and picture frames. I need to actively create my own business.
6:13 am
kje
well... in that case, scrab... it is NOT a good time to open a small business - LOL
6:13 am
MonkeyGames
Hi for a few minutes! Scrabbs, want to move overseas maybe? We have a lot of local rabbit breeds... just trying to temp you...
6:14 am
MonkeyGames
tempT...
6:15 am
MonkeyGames
Didn't mean to kill the chat....
6:15 am
Scrabbler
Well, some side work can earn me extra money.
6:16 am
Scrabbler
I do think about escaping to another country.
6:16 am
kje
mmmm hmmmm - cuz that is what you have LOTS of... spare time - LOL
6:16 am
Scrabbler
My parents are 77, so I must stay here, near them
6:16 am
MonkeyGames
I think that sounds like a great idea, Scrabbs. Doing something creative that one is good at is good for the soul.
6:16 am
MonkeyGames
I understand. Danny's mom is in the same position, otherwise she and her man might come out here.
6:16 am
Scrabbler
But I enjoy doing this artwork in my spare time
6:17 am
MonkeyGames
But for the record we always need doctors and they're treated well here, and framing shops do well too...
6:17 am
kje
i wonder if you would enjoy it as much if it became a job? never sure which way that would fall
6:18 am
kje
moving medical licensure to the EU is not that easy MG... as the reverse is not either
6:18 am
kje
although, scrab, new zealand has 100% immediate reciprocity
6:18 am
MonkeyGames
I'm sure that's so. But I know that it IS done, and that at least in this direction it can be relatively straighforward if all the paperwork is in order.
6:18 am
Scrabbler
I do think of that, kje--if art were a business would I dislike the pressure of producing?
6:19 am
Scrabbler
No, I must stay here, near my parents.
6:19 am
MonkeyGames
My mother started doing her pottery glazing full time and she didn't have trouble with that. Not saying that is so for everyone, but she was worried about it and then all was ok.
6:20 am
MonkeyGames
I do understand that, Scrabbs. Not trying to talk you into a move.
6:20 am
Scrabbler
Or I could win the lottery and be all set, LOL
6:20 am
kje
scrab - there are some very successful models for house call docs that work officeless... probably easier in geri, but would be similar for any chronically ill child... you should see what these docs do, amazing
6:20 am
MonkeyGames
THERE you go! That's how we're planning to live somewhere warm.... OK, must go check my soup. Back in a few.
6:20 am
LoriP
G'd morning Babblers! Look! No red color anywhere......
6:21 am
Scrabbler
Concierge medicine, kje?
6:21 am
Scrabbler
Hi Lori
6:21 am
kje
hi lori - no red excpet your flag : )
6:21 am
LoriP
SHow of hands, who has tried mo**rail about a thousand times? :D
6:21 am
kje
no, not concierge... house calls for chronically ill, mostly homebound... like the opposite of concierge medicine
6:22 am
kje
well, thank you for THAT phantom... as if my own were not enough lori - LOL
6:22 am
LoriP
I'm a giver. I like to help. :p
6:23 am
kje
could search the lit for elder house call programs, scrab... similar models exist for pedi chronically ill, but less of them... another option is pediatric hospitalist - pay is good, hours are good, and it is a hugely growing field
6:24 am
LoriP
I doubt DR_G reads chat, but may I say Thank You to him anyway. He fought the Babble battle and won, and I appreciate it. The withdrawal was painful....
6:24 am
kje
so am I - here you go lori - doctor, proctor, abort, panda... can go on...
6:24 am
kje
lori - message him on FB
6:24 am
Scrabbler
TY for suggestions, kje, for work and words
6:25 am
LoriP
Great kje. I would say we're even now....
6:26 am
kje
i am not going anywhere, with 46 left... may need a break
6:27 am
Scrabbler
go kje go
6:27 am
LoriP
Go kje! Try mo**rail......
6:27 am
kje
I'm going scrab!
6:28 am
kje
I think from now on, if babblers cheer you to run into a wall, they should be held libel
6:28 am
Scrabbler
lori, you are silly
6:28 am
kje
LOL lori... have tried mono- on every word I can think of
6:28 am
Scrabbler
PB for you now, kje....
Lori made you do it
6:29 am
kje
I dislike you all very much at the moment!
6:29 am
kje
you sucked me right into that
6:29 am
LoriP
hahahahhahahhahah NOW we're even.
6:29 am
Scrabbler
We love you, kje
6:30 am
Scrabbler
With a measly 23 words I now must get ready for work--helping at a nearby practice here in the country....
6:30 am
kje
seriously - I really think twins should be coborns and others are mo**born
6:31 am
kje
scrab... work THERE!
6:31 am
kje
it is the proer use of the prefixes
6:31 am
Scrabbler
I begged for a job so at least they know I am interested
6:31 am
Scrabbler
Bye kids--see you later
6:32 am
kje
find some old doc and help him out for a bit and encourage him to retire - LOL
6:32 am
LoriP
Have a Richard free day SCrabbler. Take care
6:34 am
kje
bbiab... down to 40, painfully... will come back with fresh eyes

Uniquity
Oh, I spoke far too soon. None of my words are entering...anyone else with problems?
7:23 am
LoriP
Nope, no probs here Uni, except for the fact I'm not seeing any words. :D
7:24 am

Well, that makes it far more frustrating.

7:28 am

7:28 am
NonoNanette
I'm not seeing red so am thinking Dr. God finnaly resolved the issues
7:29 am
LoriP
G'd morning Nono! (and Nono's significant other :)
7:29 am
LoriP
So far so good Nono! ***knocks on wood***
7:30 am
Uniquity
Unfortunately, I still get red, but that seems to be internet issues, even though the net is going great today.
7:30 am
LoriP

7:31 am
LoriP
ap 7/40, gee, that makes 2 whole 7's for me now. Whoopee

7:32 am
LoriP
lol Uni, soooooo close! :p
7:33 am
LoriP
I'm down to 41 but the words aren't exactly leaping at me.

7:37 am
NonoNanette

7:39 am
LoriP
Yea for Nono!
7:41 am
Uniquity
This seems to be a tricky grid.
7:41 am
LoriP
heh heh heh that ending in an io 6/24 whee!
7:42 am
NonoNanette
just figured out what ending your talking about Lori, thanks
7:42 am
LoriP
Well, as I clog up chat with rambling, I declared this grid to be poopy, about 2 hours ago.
7:43 am
LoriP
yvw Nono. I didn't wanna' say it, but man, I knew it had to be in here somewhere, so now I'm trying it on everything. :)
7:45 am
mrpresident

8:00 am
jmcnrick
bye lori
8:00 am
NonoNanette
MG keep the eye clean ... use wet cotton ball. Wash hands frequently try not to rub eyes. Wash pillowcasses, towels and washcolths daily
8:00 am
MonkeyGames
Oops, I have been informed that it is 3:00 snack time! Aloe plant... hmmm. I could give that a try, I do have a medicinal aloe plant. But I will look it up briefly first... good tip.
8:00 am
jmcnrick
but nono is right the important thing is to keep them clean
8:01 am
MonkeyGames
Thanks NoNo, doing all that. This has infected my ear and a node in my neck too, but the doctor says it's all viral so nothing to do but wait it out... Must be off to dispense snack time. Back soon!

jmcnrick
soooo many phantoms
8:05 am
fuquayvarina
what was that about an ap7?
8:05 am
Vicuna
I assume it's single-word use is more like an on7 navigational system or something.
8:05 am
LoriP
No kiddin'! A katrillion phantoms in this one.
8:05 am
Vicuna
I am awash in phantoms.
8:05 am
hurshy
there's an ap4 that is like a digital music player, make it an adj for the 7
8:05 am
LoriP
ap 7 extends the 4
8:06 am
Vicuna
*its. sigh
8:06 am
LoriP
Hey Vic! Long time no see
8:06 am

Gah! Found an fa 6/7 poopy

Nope, don't have that. ***looking***
8:10 am
Vicuna
Oh, thanks for the fa6, Lori.
8:11 am
LoriP
Merci buckets hursh. Had the 6, didn't add the extra vowel. Gah
8:11 am
fuquayvarina
ooh, thanks. that led to a co 6/7 too
8:11 am
LoriP
Can't believe you can plural that Vic.... :/
8:12 am
Vicuna
It is a little hard to come up with a sentence that would use the fa7...
8:12 am
Vicuna
*looking for similar co6...*
8:12 am
Vicuna
oh, well, similar ending, not similar meaning! lol
8:12 am
Alleyn
This is a toughy! What is the third letter of the ao7,40 please.....
8:13 am
hurshy
this convention will bring together all the various sci-fi fa7 - star trek, star wars, battlestar galactica...
8:13 am
LoriP
No ao Alleyn, ap 7, comes from the 4
8:13 am
Vicuna
Very good, hursh. But I still think it's a stretch!
8:14 am
LoriP
Like my opinions, that sentence is dismissed! :p
8:14 am
CiociaJudy
TY Hurshy!!!
8:17 am

9 left, and 4 of them are P's

Vicuna

8:18 am
CiociaJudy

8:18 am

8:19 am

8:20 am
fuquayvarina

LoriP
Gah! EXtra vowel. Thanks so much fuq!
8:25 am
Vicuna
Hah, if you were having a natural blonde moment you'd have it by now. Must be the bleach going to your head.
8:26 am
Vicuna
It ends with the entrance to a ro4/5.
8:26 am
Vicuna
Exit, too, for that matter.
8:26 am
LoriP
Who knew you could use too much bleach? :p
8:26 am
Vicuna
And please try to remember not to take it internally.
8:28 am
LoriP
Great. Now I gotta' give up bleach for Lent?

9:20 am
mrpresident
jindigo... it is 2.20am sunday... usual sleepless in sydney
9:21 am
Jindigo
I should be more clear - what happened to BABBLE over the past 2 days?
9:21 am
mrpresident

9:21 am
mrpresident

Night mrp

featherbee
dr god moved it to a new server, but i think that was the cure rather than the problem
9:22 am
torgone
Babble blowed up yesterday
9:22 am
Jindigo
was it a hacker or a virus or what?
9:22 am
featherbee
just server overload is my guess
9:24 am
Jindigo
it happens - thanks Feather & Tor
9:25 am
torgone
My description was more technical. Sorry if it went over your head ..

9:53 am
jbp
if you were ruru, then so were we all
9:56 am
Dorens
hey babbleland!
9:56 am
Norma
Hi All ... Thank heavens for Dr God ... was getting terrible withdrawal symptoms lol
9:59 am
Dorens
I guess we need moments like that to appreciate what we have on a daily basis
10:02 am
bichon
I'd like to thank those who clued words even though it was very difficult to get it done
10:03 am
littlebit
i know i don't chat on here a lot, but boy, did i ever miss you guys!!
10:04 am
bichon
same here!
10:04 am
Pinikula
ditto...in spades!!!
10:04 am
Dorens
i managed to complete the grid, but not nearly as satisfying as it is when we chat. even when I lurk, i enjoy
10:05 am
littlebit
i finished yesterday's, but not thursday's
10:05 am
Dorens
thursday was somewhat frustrating, without lickety, I agree littlebit
10:06 am
littlebit
i was too tired to fight it all! i actually gave up!
10:07 am
Dorens
phantom... anaconda
10:07 am
littlebit
my phantom...optional
10:07 am
Fiber Art
it was too hard. That red bar did me in.
10:07 am
Haz1558
Good morning/afternoon all.
10:08 am
littlebit
hey haz!
10:08 am
Haz1558
Hello there! A nice, peaceful, normal babble day.
10:08 am
littlebit
at least give me one i don't have!! :)
10:08 am
Vicuna
Ewwww! Fiber Art stinks! lol
10:08 am
Vicuna
Hello, all.
10:09 am
littlebit
hey vic!
10:09 am
Dorens
yes... we needed that. hi vi
10:09 am
Fiber Art
I'm off to the shower, Vicuna!
10:09 am
Haz1558
Hello Vicuna!
10:10 am
praise2him
hello all
10:10 am
praise2him
hey little bit
10:10 am
Vicuna
We are simply awash in phantoms today.
10:10 am
Vicuna
So maybe you don't need a shower. =P
10:10 am
littlebit
hey praise!
10:11 am
Fiber Art
I could take a phantom shower
10:11 am
Dorens
and we even have the so** for her to be awash in. (but that's not a phantom)
10:11 am
praise2him
glad to see Babble has recovered since yesterday
10:11 am
Dorens
no, for her to awash with!
10:12 am
Vicuna
Heehee, that was my missing s. Thanks, Doren!
10:12 am
Fiber Art
I believe I get the credit!
10:12 am
Dorens
what's funny is that it was my missing s too, then just found it
10:12 am
littlebit
i think we're all glad for babble returning to normal!
10:13 am
Vicuna
Fair enough, Fiber.
10:13 am
cherlyq63
hi all
10:13 am
Dorens
true, never would have found it if i wasn't busy looking for other phantoms, prompted by vi's comment about your need for shower. thanks
10:13 am
cherlyq63
just sitting in background not getting many words lol
10:13 am
Fiber Art
glad to stink up the place anytime.
10:13 am
littlebit
hey cherly
10:14 am
Dorens
actually I DO need to shower. but enjoying a very lazy day here so far
10:15 am
Haz1558
It's one of those grids where I remember words from when they appeared before in babble, but haven't a notion what they mean.
10:15 am
Dorens
that happens often to me haz... i feel so clever for knowing they are words, but not clever enough to know what they mean
10:16 am
cherlyq63
yep, me too, but glad to be able to play again, without the server issues lol
10:16 am
Haz1558
I should probably be really disciplined and look them up but I'd probably forget them.
10:17 am
Dorens
oh I KNOW i'd forget them, that is my rationale. I can't remember what movie I saw two days ago, how could i remember random words???
10:17 am
Aloyisius
I'll second that, Haz.. just found te6.21, the one that ends with the kitchen cooking utensil
10:17 am
Aloyisius
hi Babblers.. (-:
10:18 am
Dorens
exactly, aloy. and who would ever know what that means?
10:18 am
Haz1558
Hello Aloy!
10:18 am
Aloyisius
not me, lol..
10:18 am
Aloyisius
Hi Haz.. any buds of Spring evident there?
10:19 am
Haz1558
Yes, indeed. Lots of spring flowers begining to emerge.
10:19 am
Aloyisius
yay for that.. been a tuff winter!
10:20 am
Haz1558
It has indeed. We haven't suffered as badly as some parts, though.
10:20 am
Vicuna
Phone call, and I come back to your te6. Thanks, Aloy!
10:20 am
Aloyisius
wtg, Vicuna.. strange word recalled from other grids
10:21 am
Dorens
did you get that big snow that socked in London, haz?
10:21 am
Haz1558
No, we just had a light covering (about 2 inches) but it left quite quickly.
10:22 am
Vicuna
As soon as you said it, I knew exactly which word you meant.
10:22 am
Dorens
i just heard this morning we "might" get another 6 inches sunday night... and I am just finally seeing the last of my snow here
10:22 am
Haz1558
I hope the forecasters are wrong, Dorens.
10:23 am
Dorens
they certainly are frequently, and sounded so uncertain. time will tell
10:23 am
Aloyisius
that br4.6 is a newbie for me, and you can pl it too
10:23 am
Dorens
you mean the almost sweep alo?
10:24 am
Haz1558
I think I've seen it before, though it looks so unlikely.
10:24 am
Aloyisius
yup, sounds like a beer, lol
10:24 am
Vicuna
Ooo ooo, didn't have that, either.
10:24 am
Haz1558
It's how people over here pronounce Bureau (used to be the Unemployment Bureau, now shortened to 'He's on the br4/6'
10:25 am
Aloyisius
what's it mean, Vicuna?
10:25 am
Aloyisius
makes sense, Haz..
10:25 am
Vicuna
No def. given at the question mark.
10:25 am
Aloyisius
ok.. off to get my dict...
10:26 am
Haz1558
I'll be tickled if it's defined as 'Northern Ireland speak for bureau'
10:26 am
Aloyisius
it means
"broth"
10:26 am
Vicuna
Nor in my hard dictionary. So I think Haz's def must be it!
10:26 am
Vicuna
OH, Aloy's dictionary wins the prize!
10:26 am
Aloyisius
a synonym of "bree"... gheez
10:27 am
Dorens
oh... that actually makes sense
10:27 am
Haz1558
So, no excuse for us missing it again.
10:27 am
Vicuna
Ahh, bree. That's a much more common Babblet.
10:27 am
Aloyisius
Doren's , it is a Scrabble Players Dictionary
10:28 am
Vicuna
Does it have the te6? The question mark and my Webster's neither of them have that.
10:28 am
Aloyisius
now that I have the book, the te6 is "Aztec Temple"... but of course!
10:28 am
Dorens
didn't we all know that?
10:29 am
Vicuna
I figgered it was Aztec, actually. It definitely sounds it.
10:29 am
Aloyisius
yup, I just forgot that it was a synonym of "teocalli", (lol)
10:29 am
Vicuna
Or at least something pre-Columbian. I get them mixed up sometimes.
10:29 am
Dorens
allright. time for me to go. trying for some self-discipline here, and I alloted 1/2 hour for babble, then a couple of errands, then back again (my incentive for getting the errands done)
10:30 am
Vicuna
So noble, Doren!
10:30 am
Aloyisius
ciao for now, Dorens.. hagd
10:30 am
Dorens
we'll i'm trying vi. be back later.. happy babbling to you all
10:31 am
Vicuna
This grid does not flow. On the other hand, if the words don't flow, entering them sure flows better than yesterday.
10:31 am
Haz1558
Bye Dorens.
10:31 am
Vicuna
Bye, Doren!
10:32 am
Aloyisius
amen to that.. would not have finished yesterday's without Lickety's List as I just worked on that and entered whenever possible
10:32 am
FMitch
AFternoon all
Isn't it lovely not to see the red bars of doom today :)
10:32 am
Vicuna
Yeah, I found all the words separately and then took advantage of a lucid period to type them all in as feverishly as I could.
10:32 am
Vicuna
FIIIIIIIII!
10:32 am
Aloyisius
HIYA FMitch! So good to see you .. (-:
10:33 am
Vicuna
How are you?
10:33 am
Haz1558
Hello FM, yes, red was getting a bit tiresome yesterday.
10:33 am
FMitch
Hi there Vi, Aloy and Haz!
10:33 am
Aloyisius
oops, phone.. brb
10:33 am
cool girl
fireworks
10:33 am
Vicuna
Yay for cool girl!
10:33 am
FMitch
I doing OK but real life is just taking up too much time these days :(
10:34 am
FMitch
Congrats coolgirl
10:34 am
Vicuna
Real life? Pshaw. What a shame!
10:34 am
FMitch
How about you Vi dear?
10:34 am
Haz1558
Congratulations cool girl!
10:34 am
Aloyisius
congrats, coolgirl!!!!
10:35 am
cherlyq63
good job cool girl
10:35 am
Aloyisius
today is hubby's b'day, so the kids are calling..
10:35 am
Vicuna
Oh, I'm always dandy. Offspring have (with judicious application of bribery) agreed to humor their piano teacher by playing in a recital next week...
10:35 am
FMitch
Aloy lovely to see you too and Happy Birthday to Mr Aloy :)
10:35 am
Vicuna
But now I'm all stressed out that they'll mess up so badly they'll be scarred for life! lol
10:35 am
Aloyisius
thanks, FM.. I'll relay your felicitations.. (-:
10:36 am
Vicuna
Mine, too! Happy birthday, Mr Aloy!
10:36 am
FMitch
Will we be able to view the wunderkids on youtube and on the internaltion news Vi *grin*
10:36 am
Haz1558
Nonsense. They'll do beautifully and even if they don't, it's not a tragedy.
10:36 am
Haz1558
Happy birthday Vi!
10:36 am
FMitch
Your birthday Vi or your hubbys?
10:36 am
Aloyisius
wow... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Vicuna... you just missed being a Leap Year babe?
10:37 am
Vicuna
Their teacher seems to be hoping that they will be prodigious, but the rest of us have more modest goals. Of course *I* tell them it's fine to make mistakes, but I just want them to have fun!
10:37 am
hydra
Birthday good wishes from me too. Anyone got clue to the first do5,16 please?
10:37 am
Vicuna
No, no, my felicitations, too! My birthday's in July! lol
10:38 am
Aloyisius
oh, well early Happy B'day, then, lol..
10:38 am
FMitch
Phew, didn't think it was yours but that was a horrid moment there!
10:38 am
Vicuna
Gosh, I've never had so many birthday greetings. I'll have to store them all up... and learn to express myself less ambiguously.
10:38 am
Haz1558
I only have one do5/16, a plural.
10:39 am
Vicuna
Gosh! Looks like I need to get busy in the do5/16 department! *looking*
10:39 am
Aloyisius
do5.16 I have is a pl that ends with what Double Bubble is..
10:39 am
FMitch
There is only 1 x do5/16 which is a pl
10:40 am
Aloyisius
if you are old enough to remember that you could blow a lot of bubbles for a penny
10:40 am
Vicuna
Oh, okay. Thanks.
10:40 am
Aloyisius
wonder if that stuff is still made?
10:40 am
Aloyisius
my jaws would get sore
10:40 am
cherlyq63
yes, my kids get it and pay 29 cents lol
10:40 am
hydra
Lickety's list begins with a do5,16 and I can't get it at all. I've gotthe final one, thanks.
10:41 am
Vicuna
And that one is another word for do4/6 palm, a frightening tree, apparently.
10:41 am
FMitch
Hydra there was a mention of an extra word when lickety first put up the list
10:41 am
Haz1558
hydra, it may be the extra word spoken of earlier.
10:41 am
hydra
Oh! Thanks, FMitch nd Haz. That's probably it then.
10:42 am
phaeton
help with the right A?
10:42 am
Vicuna
an5/12, phaeton
10:44 am
Vicuna
You're welcome.
10:44 am
FMitch
There were so many phantoms today, a tricksy little grid to get our brains working again.
10:45 am
Vicuna
I felt quite haunted by all the phantoms.
10:45 am
Haz1558
You're right, FM. Just a nice size as well.
10:46 am
FMitch
and enough perplexing words too
10:47 am
Aloyisius
i like fa6: the realm for concert-going screaming teeny boppers
10:48 am
Haz1558
Give me a seat and a reverent hush....
10:48 am
FMitch
Oh yes that and it's pl kept me guessing for ages.
10:48 am
Aloyisius
who did you swoon for Haz?
10:48 am
hydra
Yes, I like that word too, Aloy. Almost a phantom, in fact!
10:48 am
Aloyisius
or is that in the present tense re George, lol
10:49 am
Vicuna
Did you swoon for a cr5/12 - er?
10:49 am
FMitch
LOL Hydra
10:49 am
Haz1558
Goodness, I'd have to think back about a million years.
10:49 am
Aloyisius
good one, Vi!
10:50 am
FMitch
LOl at Vi too
10:50 am
Vicuna
I was hoping co + bo4 would be how twins are brought into the world. But alas, not according to Enable.
10:51 am
hydra
I used to run fan magazines for David Cassidy, the Bay City Rollers, the Police and Starsky& Hutch! I worked for a publishing co.
10:51 am
Haz1558
My younger daughter was relating her experiences at a recent 'gig' in Edinburgh. She ended up feeling sick because of the heat/noise etc.
10:51 am
Aloyisius
didn't happen cuz the co7 were used, Vi..
10:51 am
Judi
Good day, Babblers. I see we've been cured of our hacker problem.
10:51 am
phaeton
are there any FE's?
10:51 am
Haz1558
She was seeing someone called 'Little Boots' Needless to say, I'd never heard of her.
10:52 am
hydra
One fe, phaeton.
10:52 am
FMitch
1 phand - fe4/8
10:52 am
hydra
It's fe4,8
10:52 am
Aloyisius
hi Judi..
10:52 am
Vicuna
Well, Aloy, not in my case! lol
10:52 am
Aloyisius
LOL, Vi.. you have twins?
10:52 am
Vicuna
Did she sing "These boots are made for tiptoeing, and that's just what they'll do...."?
10:52 am
Vicuna
Yes, Aloy.
10:52 am
Haz1558
Twins of Glory. Known as the Togs.
10:53 am
cherlyq63
hi judy
10:53 am
FMitch
Hydra that was an exclectic mix.
10:53 am
Aloyisius
very cool..
10:53 am
Vicuna
I like that, Haz. I'll have to tell my mother. She'll like it.
10:53 am
Haz1558
No idea, Vi. She's maybe an up and coming artist rather than well established.
10:53 am
FMitch
uh oh my sp is going already
10:54 am
Aloyisius
uh oh.. sp?
10:54 am
Vicuna
Well, FM, it was only a matter of time.
10:54 am
Haz1558
It's an interesting interpretation, FM. Kind of a mixture of eclectic, eccentric and excellent. We like it!
10:54 am
Aloyisius
oh, spelling, or is it speling? lol
10:54 am
FMitch
looool Haz
sp - spelling Alo (or in my case lack of it) :)
10:55 am
Vicuna
How perfectly that words describes our little Babble community,t hen.
10:55 am
FMitch
and now I can't even spell Aloy properly.
10:55 am
Vicuna
that word. Sigh. It's contagious, apparently.
10:55 am
Haz1558
In other words, as odd as can be....
10:55 am
Aloyisius
Alo is ok
10:56 am
hydra

10:56 am

Hmm... TOGboy is agitating for lunch. Guess I'll get to work, then. Back later, all!

That was the notice posted by Dr. God yesterday, Aloy. He had to switch servers and reload the game.
11:04 am
Aloyisius
ooh, ty fuqua!
11:05 am
Aloyisius
oh, missed the notice.. thanks, Judi
11:06 am
Haz1558
pa7 - begin with a cooking thing, end with a means of entry
11:06 am
Judi
LOL. There was panic in the streets, Aloy.
11:07 am
Judi
There are two pa7's. They are similar. The 2nd one is the girl who opened the box (only hope was left).
11:07 am
Aloyisius
can't imagine why someone would want to hack this site.. no national security secrets that I know of..
11:07 am
Haz1558
What amazed me was that so many people didn't take time to read back even a couple of posts to see that they weren't the only ones with problems.
11:08 am
Haz1558
That's when I realise that I'm terribly impatient.
11:09 am
Aloyisius
think of your b.p., Haz... do red lights bother you? Trying to teach hubby to count the seconds..
11:09 am
littlebit
i didn't have a chat log to read!
11:09 am
Haz1558
I take tablets for my blood pressure! And no, I'm not impatient on the road at all, thankfully.

He rarely has any potty issues, but I got home a little late yesterday and I think that may have caused him to indluge in his anxiety....and have diarrhea.

Choices, choices. My mother is now in a rest home and has wonderful care after almost four years with caregivers in her own home.
1:52 pm

1:59 pm
Dorens
so much better today scrabs. as long as i don't do anything silly like try to blowdry my hair or go to yoga. and i won't!
1:59 pm
Scrabbler
It was probably an angry recently-booted troll, is my guess.
1:59 pm
Dorens
sad to know that they have that power
1:59 pm

2:02 pm

I will get my email to you and you can let me know the particulars
2:03 pm

i'd like to do that. when the time gets closer we'll get more specific. think we are planning on 8/22 - 8/29.. sf/mendocino/ and probably ending in naoa
2:04 pm
rururocks
let me know if you need restaurant recommendations
2:05 pm
Dorens
sure thing. have old friend from like, fourth grade, who has lived there for years (family doc at kaiser) who has some, but would always welcome yours. think we're staying at silverado (ken is big golfer as well as wine aficianado, so he likes it there, but i hear the restaurant there isn't so good)
2:05 pm
rururocks
the restaurant there sucks
2:06 pm
rururocks
I can help you with restaurants and wine tasting appointments
2:06 pm
Dorens
exactly.. that's what larry says... but ken likes the hotel for other reasons, we don't have to eat there. okay, will discuss these things later, thanks
2:06 pm
rururocks
let me clarify that.. the restaurant @ Silverado CC really, really sucks
2:08 pm
Dorens
lol!! that is absolutely what larry said, must really be horrific. but the golf course is nice i guess and the location. I've been to Napa twice before, a long while ago, and silverado isn't the kind of place i used to go to.

Ya know, I am wondering if the malicious hack has/had anything to do with that troll that was on a few days back. Several of us notified Dr. G-d about the troll, and we stated on the board that we notified Dr. G-d, and the troll repeatedly asked who was Dr. G-d. So you put 2 and 2 together…
3:31 pm

I have always feared that booted trolls might retaliate
3:31 pm

7:04 pm
welsh bookworm
unfortunately, broadband in ireland is a very sore subject.....it's fine if you live in the cities or most of the towns, but in the rural areas it's a nightmare
7:05 pm
redturtlehead
I thought Ireland was sort of the new tech and computer area? I guess not as much as they advertise it to be.
7:05 pm
welsh bookworm
it's the only problem with where we are living....otherwise wwe are renting a lovely little cottage on a dairy farm, beautiful scenery, friendly village and only 15 minutes from Kilkenny city.....but no flippin' broadband

7:06 pm
redturtlehead

7:06 pm
stidmama

7:06 pm

7:07 pm
stidmama
oh -- I thought you were doing it on purpose. you have your "feed" set to not public, so I couldn't follow you! LOL which is okay, because I only remember to twitter sporadically.
7:07 pm
stidmama

7:13 pm
stidmama
that is nice -- to have two places and get to go between like that.
7:13 pm

ahhh, thanks stid. as long as i'm an anchor and not an impediment.
7:14 pm

7:14 pm
welsh bookworm
also our daughter and son-in-law live just outside london and our son is in leeds so we have ties back in the uk. I also had my mum in a nursing home but lost her at the end of november, so......you know
7:14 pm

7:14 pm
Matches
need one word. or5/12 clues anyone
7:14 pm
stidmama
oh, I am so sorry you lost your mother. I don't know what I would do without mine. hope it will be a long time before I find out.l
7:14 pm

eva, that would be a stick
7:15 pm
stidmama

7:15 pm
lbdawger
(((HUGS))) welsh. losing a parent is very hard.
7:15 pm
welsh bookworm
hope so too, for your sake stid, although my mum had alzheimers and it was a blessing to see her go in the end, it's such a cruel illness
7:15 pm
welsh bookworm
aww thank you lbd
7:16 pm
Eva
if there can be cephalopods and pseudopods then there should be monopods
7:16 pm
redturtlehead
Oh Welsh....My Grandma and Grandpa both sufferred, was a terrible disease.
7:16 pm
stidmama
I have ancestors from Chardstock, Mother went there this last summer for the first time. The old house from the 1500s is still there.
7:16 pm
kje
*ignoring the guy who has gumballs for brains*
7:16 pm
stidmama
yes, dementia is a cruel illness. (((hugs)))
7:16 pm
welsh bookworm
one of the worst I think red
7:16 pm
stidmama
TOR!!! tor tor tor!
7:17 pm
redturtlehead
yes, I hope they find a "cure" because I believe I am bound to suffer too...
7:17 pm
stidmama
welsh, have you met tor? he lives in southern california, but other than that he's pretty okay.
7:17 pm
torgone
Heyas to all who are not ignoring me ..
7:17 pm
redturtlehead
hi torgone
7:17 pm
welsh bookworm
wow, that's certainly some history stid. The family who own the farm the cottage is on are 7 generations here I think
7:17 pm
lbdawger
i agree, i think alzheimers is the cruelest disease.
7:17 pm
stidmama
Matches -- did you get that or 5?
7:18 pm
welsh bookworm
hi tor, nice to meet you :)
7:18 pm
stidmama
that is neat! Unfortunately for me, most of my ancestors since the 1600s were the ones who kept moving west... never more than a couple generations in any once place. So I can't say I truly have a "home" the way others do.
7:18 pm
redturtlehead
Well, then theres things like ALS, lou gherigs disease...
7:18 pm
stidmama
But it has been fun to learn where the family originated in various places.
7:19 pm
torgone
How are you wb?
7:19 pm
welsh bookworm
I understand your concerns red, I'm hoping that I can keep my mind as active as possible for as long as possible and hope to keep any risk of it at bay
7:19 pm
stidmama
and parenting. definitely one of those cruel things.
7:19 pm
torgone
is a singer
7:19 pm
kje
nope, tried it
7:20 pm
lbdawger
probono doesn't work either lol
7:20 pm
redturtlehead
its a good idea, I think what scare me is that both of my Grandparents that had the disease were very big readers, active volunteers etc.... ah well.
7:20 pm
stidmama
before I was a parent, I was smart, sophisticated and svelt. afterward...
7:20 pm
redturtlehead
I do hope I become a pleasant alzeheimers lady.
7:20 pm
kje
nice try tor- you fool NO ONE
7:20 pm
stidmama
red -- there is some good research going on right now. links between alzheimers and things like diabetes, and prions...
7:21 pm

ty stid the bunny clue gave me fireworks
7:21 pm

first pa7?
7:21 pm
stidmama
dementia of various kinds is found in abundance in my family as well -- but most of it seems to be stroke-related rather than alzheimers. Still stinks though.
7:21 pm
lbdawger
i think you lose iq points with each child, stid. then as a teacher you gain some back depending on the age group
7:21 pm
redturtlehead
I do not like the ones that claw and scream, but they dont like themselves either.
7:21 pm
stidmama
pa 7 #1 peter pa* + what you walk through into the house

YAY Matches!!!

as you say if you can be nice and demented lol.....it sure brought out the worst in my mum! lol
7:22 pm

not pot + thing you walk through when entering the house or room. = pa7
7:22 pm
stidmama
the second pa 7 is the greek mytholological woman who opened the box of diseases...
7:22 pm
kje
they are just scared red... they are tough, but I do not mind them... they need someone
7:22 pm
redturtlehead
yes, I think its just awful, theres no good way to reassure them often.
7:23 pm
stidmama
I think it is easier though to cope when the person who is out of control is not your own parent/grandparent. It's easier to not take it personally.
7:23 pm
welsh bookworm
I have nothing but admiration for those who work in mental health....I know I couldn't do it
7:24 pm
kje
we spend a lot of time counseling caregivers that patients do not mean anything personal... or that they are not doing what they do on purpose
7:24 pm
stidmama
When my grandmother was close to the end (she had delirium, not dementia) it was very difficult to remember that her anger was not directed at me, personally... I am still sad that I could offer her little comfort beyond speaking what German I knew.
7:24 pm
lbdawger
that's why hospice and respite care is so important for families.
7:24 pm
redturtlehead
Yes, i dont take it personally, but man some of those older folks are pretty spry when they are upset. I am always afraid of being beaten.
7:24 pm
redturtlehead
rather bitten, usually, but they are very strong.
7:25 pm
stidmama
and for good reason, red -- people seem frail until they are panicked, and then the adrenaline (I guess) makes them strong.
7:25 pm
kje
the biggest problem red is that the ED environment is tailor made to make agitated patients or those prone to it worse... best thing is to keep them out of the ED whenever at all possible, and then get them out of it asap
7:25 pm
lbdawger
did you guys hear about the 70 y.o. lady who beat off 4 robbers with her Emeril frying pan?
7:26 pm
stidmama
yes, LBD, I did! that was sooooo great!
7:26 pm
Shirlockc
yeah, and emeril is giving her a new set!
7:26 pm
redturtlehead
agreed kje! It is the wrong environment for just about everyone...
7:26 pm
stidmama
ED environment? *puzzled look*
7:26 pm
lbdawger
i just loved that story! bless her
7:26 pm
redturtlehead
THough, i did have a kid with downs for 12 full hours yesterday, he was awesome, just kept hugging everyone...
7:26 pm
welsh bookworm
at least you were able to offer some comfort stid. Sadly I couldn't get back in time to be with mum at the end although our daughter dropped everything and drove back to wales to be there. The irony was that before we finally managed to get mum taken into care, we were "her carers" and yet, both hubby and I are disabled, I'm in a wheelchair with several progressive conditions and hubby has spinal and leg problems too, so looking back, I don't know how we coped for as long as we did
7:26 pm
kje
nope, but i heard about the 84 year old woman who threatened to shoot a robber here in dallas... he decided she meant it and left her alone
7:27 pm

7:27 pm
stidmama
oh. I think the Emergency department is stinky for everyone, honsetly...
7:28 pm
Shirlockc
i could've sworn i tried that, stid
7:28 pm
kje
true stid... but if you are there, you cope... my patients get agitated and resulting medication all because the ED is a nightmare
7:28 pm
redturtlehead
I like it Stid, the actual noise actually tends to soothe me greatly. That in itself is a little frightening, but the whirr of a vent and the hideous beeping of equipment is so familiar...
7:28 pm
stidmama
wow welsh. I am sorry you couldn't be there. and impressed you could help her. progressive disabling conditions stink.
7:29 pm
stidgmere
Ah, did you mention that the Greek story had as the last thing out of the box, hope?
7:29 pm
redturtlehead
kje, I once gave an odler guy pillow cases to fold (COuldnt find any wash clothes...) and found him trying to wear them all like hats...
7:29 pm

*weirded out by red's noise liking* when stidkid #1 was in NICU, it was un-nerving. All the beeping and noises and yuckiness and no baby sounds. I still sometimes have nightmares. Hello Mother
