I surprise mysef sometimes, typing in impossible words and having them work

1:00 am

flosey

nice feeling jilli

1:00 am

Bugsaw

I have learned to type in words I thot were there but I can't find when I look. It usually turns out to be in the grid but comes from a differnt angle.

1:01 am

jillibus

lovely baby, nice thought, bugs!

1:02 am

Bugsaw

Yours and Flosey's were more appropriate but I still like babies. New hope for the world.

1:04 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone. Flosey, just clicked on View Profile and saw your alter ego - Florian from Germany

1:04 am

jillibus

I remember when my granddaughter was brand new, born to a strong feminist, thinking "Poor little thing, saddled with so many expectations." She's 24 now, and doing just fine.

1:06 am

justafreep

huh. in8 x 3

1:06 am

flosey

lol lyn, and his music shows up as "What Flosey is listening to" I don't care for his taste in music

1:06 am

Bugsaw

How sad that her mother was not trilled with her.

1:06 am

jillibus

hah! did that too -- the View Profile in the last box, that is!

1:06 am

flosey

oh bugs, I have my grandson in my icon every chance I get

1:07 am

PAV3

ok up to 100 with 134 togo..time for some sleep..more house cleaning tomorrow...

1:07 am

jillibus

bug, her mother WAS thrilled with her -- and still is, having modelled her to her ideals

1:07 am

lynxxx

Jilli...and your grand daughter was brought up to "keep the faith"?

1:08 am

Bugsaw

I know Flosey. He is a beauty. My pictures were taken on a 35 mm film camera so I would have to scan them in and that is too complicated....

1:08 am

lynxxx

Obviously was...good, so many of the ideals have been lost over time I think

1:08 am

flosey

goodnight Pav, sleep well

1:09 am

jillibus

pretty sure, lynxxx, but maybe in a gentle way nowadays

1:09 am

flosey

yes bugs, scanning is a bit of work

1:09 am

lynxxx

Goodnight Pav

1:09 am

Bugsaw

Thanks for the clarification Jilli. I would have thot a strong feminist would have been thrilled with a new life to model her ideals for. I am glad i was right

1:09 am

jillibus

scanning is a pice of cake!

1:10 am

jillibus

*piece --- told you I was sleepy!

1:10 am

PAV3

unless your scanner is broken or the 'puter doen't think your "all-in-one" actually has a scanner...

1:10 am

flosey

yes jilli but downloading pics directly from camera is a breeze

1:10 am

Bugsaw

It is once you know the process but I need someone to show me to really get it. I don't learn well from manuals.

1:11 am

flosey

but the computer walks you through it bugs

1:11 am

dart001

fireworks

1:11 am

jillibus

The scanner's software walks you through it too

1:11 am

lynxxx

Congrats Dart!

1:12 am

jillibus

YAY dart!!!

1:12 am

Bugsaw

Thanks for the encouragement flosey. Perhaps I will put more effort into learning it tomorrow. I am so tired now I can hardly see.

1:12 am

Bugsaw

well done dart!

1:12 am

justafreep

1:38 am

Hello all

1:39 am

Already bought cards, dee -- I don't have time to make them -- need too many with all the people I've met over the years and want to stay in touch with.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

1:40 am

dart001

lynxxx

VolleymomDee

1:41 am

jillibus

I absolutely agree -- and you have a better selection in the US than we do here

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

1:41 am

Just1Mar

hello evy1 who came in while I was gone

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

re-hi just

1:42 am

jillibus

you have more people, so more variety, more choice.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

thot about making them on computer, but the ink is so expensive

1:42 am

warthog

can other folks see lickety

1:42 am

warthog

i can't

1:42 am

warthog

clues i mean

1:42 am

dart001

do you have the fe 8 volley?

1:42 am

lynxxx

Hi Meliae - I tried it too, I see what you mean. I don't think Lickety has been a Firefox document before maybe that is why it is playing up

1:42 am

Just1Mar

I take it Lickety is up? I am down to 122 left with nbt's

1:43 am

dart001

yyes justy

1:43 am

lynxxx

Lickety used Internet Explorer b4

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

no, ty dart... looking

1:43 am

jillibus

I look at the Hallmark website and so much is not available for us.

1:43 am

jillibus

Lickety reco9mmends Firefox and that's what I use -- no problem

1:43 am

ursh

My expert also asked if I wanted to open html file to get lickety's clues as soon as I came on

1:43 am

warthog

i can't get lickety's maybe becasue i dont have firefox

1:44 am

lynxxx

I have always used Firefox Jilli, but something has changed with Lickety

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

shoot I use old IE... probably won't be able to see clues then

1:44 am

jillibus

can't understand that, warthog

1:44 am

warthog

i used to get it though on safari

1:44 am

Just1Mar

I use Babble Expert in a weird way...first I log into regular babble because it keeps my name and password whereas expert doesnt.....

1:44 am

dart001

al 8 too volley...both end same way

1:44 am

meliae

got it to work just hit run on that window that opens dont hit save

1:44 am

lynxxx

Warthog, you can download Firefox for Free

1:44 am

Just1Mar

then when I need the list I open Expert and for some reason I'm already logged into it automatically

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart that is my other missing 8 :)

1:45 am

jillibus

I use Babble Expert, just click on the icon on the desktop, no trouble at all

1:45 am

warthog

jilli I don't know either... oh well i'll just see what i can get on my own

1:45 am

dart001

does expert save double typing words?

1:45 am

bookwomen

i clicked on open and the clues showed up.

1:45 am

lynxxx

It does Dart

1:45 am

Just1Mar

If I go to Expert right away I have to always type in my email and pw but not in reg babble

1:46 am

warthog

oh lynxx thanks for tellin me. Does it work for mac also?

1:46 am

jillibus

everything is there right away. Justy, maybe you need to click on the dotted part of the yellow line on the left to open Lickety?

1:46 am

lynxxx

Yes Warthog

1:46 am

dart001

although by double typing words into the puzzle...my two finger typing is getting much faster

1:46 am

Just1Mar

once expert is open I just click on transfer clues to lickety

1:46 am

jillibus

Expert does not work for Macs

1:46 am

warthog

ah ha

1:46 am

lynxxx

Expert doesn't - but Firefox does

1:47 am

Just1Mar

at the top of expert you can either choose to transfer clues to lickety or vice versa...one small click

1:47 am

warthog

thanks lynxx and jilli

1:47 am

jillibus

justy, do you mean "Send Words To Clues"?

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart 8's done

1:48 am

jillibus

You're transferring words, not clues

1:48 am

lynxxx

Just - You do not that using "Lickety Add" will update list and Babble at same time?

1:48 am

Just1Mar

yes jilli,,,,just opened expert and got that grey box too....

1:49 am

Just1Mar

that never happened before and the colour has changed....

1:49 am

lynxxx

that should read - You do "know" (not not)

1:49 am

jillibus

grey box?

1:49 am

dart001

yw volley

1:49 am

Just1Mar

I just click on send words to clues and they;re all transferred at once

1:49 am

Just1Mar

grey box that asked if I want to open it up

1:50 am

Just1Mar

The background colour on lickety's has changed to an orangish beige ??

1:50 am

jillibus

but one of the whole points of Expert is the Lickety Add box, where if you type one word it goes to clues automatically and more than one word goes to chat

1:51 am

Just1Mar

there are several ways expert can be used...this is the way I've been doing it....creature of habit

1:52 am

jillibus

I don't have any of that in the Lickety clue area -- just the clues.

1:53 am

jillibus

I don't get asked if I want to open it.

1:53 am

lynxxx

Something has def changed, I am sure Lickety will let us know in due course

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

lickety's clues are not opening for me...

1:53 am

Just1Mar

In Expert I have the reg babble screen showing for about 2/3 to 3/4 of the screen size and clues the rest....I type then in the babble area then just click send words to clues

1:53 am

jillibus

Mine has not changed one bit.

1:53 am

dart001

tonight was diff justy....when i clicked lickety's clues...the page didnt open...i had to click where it says if you can't see the clues...then it opened with different colors....something about an html page

1:54 am

Just1Mar

Today is the first and only time I had to click on "open" it when the grey box came up

1:54 am

grannyrose

dee, read the small print, the link is definitely there

1:54 am

lynxxx

hi Rose

1:54 am

Just1Mar

Well I hope Lickety is aware of it first lol

1:54 am

Just1Mar

Hi granny!

1:54 am

grannyrose

hey lyn

1:55 am

dart001

and a prompt did come up asking if i wanted to open or save the html file

1:55 am

grannyrose

the fourth line, click on it

jillibus

In Expert I have the clues open on the left, and the grid and chat on the rest of the screen. It has wroked exactly the same way today as at any other time, but on the other hand I've had it open all day. Maybe something changed later on.

1:55 am

Just1Mar

yes same thing for me dartie so just clicked open and it came up but with a different look

1:56 am

grannyrose

hey mar

1:56 am

Just1Mar

I have it the opp way....clues on the right!

1:56 am

dart001

smaller with a diff color background

1:56 am

Just1Mar

If you log out and back in jilli, it may then happen to you

1:57 am

jillibus

I'm not going to fool around with it!

1:57 am

Just1Mar

not finding it smaller just diff colour

1:57 am

jillibus

Come to think of it, I did shut down and come back at flip-time.

1:57 am

warthog

any words starting with ox?

1:58 am

lynxxx

No Wart

1:58 am

grannyrose

no warthog

1:58 am

dart001

no wart

1:58 am

warthog

thx

1:58 am

jillibus

I have Lickety's page shrunk sideways to just show the clues. The background is white.

1:58 am

dart001

think only one word uses the x tonight

1:59 am

Just1Mar

same here jilli, just clues showing but backround is now an orangish beige

2:01 am

MPittore

nite...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2:01 am

jillibus

I have the right side reserved for morewords. To get them I go up to Resources, where it's listed. I click on it and it automatically opens on the right and partly covers the chat. I can adjust the size by moving the vertical yellow line or close it temporarily by clicking on the dots in it.

2:02 am

Just1Mar

I'm surprised you don't use the "BabbleDabble" jilli...

2:02 am

jillibus

Well, I'm going to head for bed so I'll take a chance and shut down again, then open up and see what's what here.

2:03 am

dart001

night jilli

2:03 am

jillibus

JUsty, I looked at it but much prefer morewords.

2:03 am

jillibus

So here goes -- back in a few

2:03 am

Just1Mar

when the clues are up you just have to type in the stats....takes much less time then going thru the whole list on MW's

2:04 am

Just1Mar

gl jilli

2:06 am

jillibus

I'm back, and it's as you said -- the clues are no longer part of Expert and you have to toggle back and forth -- real bummer. I wonder if the Lickey add works any more!

2:07 am

Just1Mar

Didn't a little grey box come up asking you to open or save or cancel?

2:08 am

jillibus

yes, it did, just as you said, and Lickety Add doesn't work, and none of my words which were neatly in the list are there any more. Send words to Clues doesn't work.

2:09 am

Just1Mar

did you click on "open" cause it's all working for me...

2:09 am

jillibus

When the box came up I said to open it. Should I have said Save?

2:09 am

Just1Mar

If you clicked save it won't work

2:09 am

warthog

how many ex?

2:10 am

jillibus

Damn

2:10 am

dart001

1 wart

2:10 am

joey

i can't get to Licketyhe actual clues, all i can see is the header.

2:10 am

Just1Mar

one ex hog

2:10 am

warthog

dang i got it

2:10 am

Just1Mar

try shutting down, clearing your cache and reopen selecting open

2:10 am

jillibus

I'm going to email Lickety about this.

2:11 am

joey

thanks

2:11 am

Just1Mar

good idea jilli but try what I just told you...

2:11 am

warthog

any ro?

2:11 am

warthog

<bein a bit of a pain here but just want to get a few words before bed

2:12 am

Just1Mar

7 ro's

2:12 am

warthog

thank you. i will chew on that!

2:14 am

jillibus

I did, justy, with the same result. Can't use Lickety Add, or Send Words to Clues.

2:14 am

jillibus

Have to toggle. It's on a different page.

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

this is a mess.... think I have to reboot...

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

be back in a minute

2:15 am

Just1Mar

so sorry to hear that jilli....how about opening up regular babble....then try opening expert...

2:15 am

Just1Mar

hb Dee

2:15 am

Just1Mar

log out first...open regular bab then open expert

2:17 am

jillibus

I don't see why that would be any different, justy, but I'll try. Damn. Expert was so perfect! It's not toally broken, though -- morewords still works.

2:17 am

jillibus

Do you mean log out or shut down?

2:18 am

Just1Mar

log out...if that doesn't work then try reboot

2:18 am

Just1Mar

I suggested that because....

2:18 am

Just1Mar

that's the way I did it this evening and it's all good except for colour

2:20 am

jillibus

let's get the terminology straight. Log out would be to go to the little red letters, top right, so that coming back would mean using the password etc. Shutting down (to me) means closing the page with the little x. Rebooting means closing down the computer and restarting it.

2:21 am

Just1Mar

first try log out... if that doesn't work then try rebooting...if you just shut down it is not necessarily logging out...

2:27 am

jillibus

OK, I logged out, logged back in (I had cleared the cache) -- same result -- the clues are on a separate page, not part of Expert, and transfers don't work.

2:27 am

jillibus

I'll try rebooting but don't expect any better result.

2:27 am

Just1Mar

did you try opening reg bab first? then opening expert?

2:28 am

Just1Mar

sometimes jilli a reboot will clean and clear up a bunch of stuff....

2:30 am

jillibus

Yes, did it all, but nothing changes. Lickety's list opens on a separate page and is not connected with Expert. Maybe you haven't been using it the same way as I have so it seems the same to you.

2:32 am

Just1Mar

I don't know what to tell you jilli....I always open regular babble....do as much as I can...then open up expert for the list....that is what I did tonight....got that grey box, clicked open and all is the same (except for colour)

2:34 am

lynxxx

Mine is behaving just as Jilli's is Just

2:34 am

Just1Mar

very strange...sorry to hear. Hopefully Lickety will fix the problem

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

big mess... definitely liked the old way better

2:36 am

Just1Mar

It's prob a glitch that Lickety can fix, assuming he's aware that there is a problem

2:37 am

Just1Mar

well if anyone's wanting clues, let me know cause my list is working and I have all the stats

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

ty just... I may take you up on that in a bit... 40 left here

2:38 am

Just1Mar

sure Dee (lol, have list and still needing 97) but have been trying to help Jilli figure out what she can do

2:38 am

jillibus

Justy, you definitely use things very differently from the way I do. I never need to open regular babble because it's all part of Expert -- everything on one page. Are you sure you're using Expert?

2:39 am

jillibus

I have the Expert icon on my desktop and just dbl click on that.

2:39 am

meliae

same mine is working

2:39 am

Just1Mar

I'm absoluetly positive jilli, the reason I do that is because then for sure I can't use the clues til I think I really need to

2:39 am

dart001

if you dont use expert and just click on the lickety link below puzzle does it work?

2:40 am

Just1Mar

I have both icons on my desktop jill....but always go to reg bab first

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

no

2:40 am

jillibus

you can hide the clues, by clicking on the dots in the yellow vertical line!

2:40 am

meliae

I just usually click off the list in expert and then click it back on when I need it

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

when I clicked on link it tried to download to my desktop dart

2:41 am

jillibus

I'm going to email Lickety now.

2:41 am

meliae

dont click run when you get that pop up click open that is how I got it to work

2:41 am

Just1Mar

strange Dartie, just tried it and it came up strangely, with the same grey box. Then it opened but looking very strange

2:41 am

dart001

i just clicked open and it worked

2:41 am

lynxxx

I've just emailed Lickety about the problem

2:42 am

Just1Mar

run was not an option...it was either open, save or cancel

2:42 am

meliae

then click open

2:42 am

cindasu

mine had grey box and i clicked and i have clues

2:42 am

meliae

not run

2:42 am

Just1Mar

open worked for me but seems not to work for dee or jilli

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

mine, too just

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

not messing with that anymore; I get too frustrated... nose back in grid... :)

2:43 am

meliae

go here: and reinstall maybe?

2:44 am

there's obvioulsy a prob...once lickey knows he'll fix it

2:45 am

Just1Mar

tried that site mel not working for me but then I don't need it

2:46 am

joshuavorbis

i went ahead and downloaded the html file and opened it in my browser, looks like a possible page design upgrade

2:47 am

Just1Mar

but some said when they did the d/l it didn't work but open did, so who knows

2:47 am

Just1Mar

brb

2:50 am

Just1Mar

still here dartie?

2:51 am

dart001

glancing at chat every so often...watching poker on tv and playing poker online lol

2:51 am

Just1Mar

playing for real money?

2:52 am

dart001

real fake money :)

2:52 am

Just1Mar

well just wanted to congratulate you on finishing cause even with list, for me, it's a toughy

2:52 am

jaeleigh

two clues in one: scary story

2:52 am

Just1Mar

watching HiStakes Poker?

2:52 am

dart001

thx

2:53 am

dart001

yep

2:53 am

jillibus

Well, I've written Lickety -- it's 7:52 pm in Sydney so I hope he checks his email!

2:53 am

Just1Mar

think lynxx said she emailed him too

2:53 am

jwr

don't know if this will help but it worked on my computer at work earlier this evening and now on the one at home. It wouldn't accept the usual address (licketysplit.aus/googlepages.com) so I went to the link below on this page which didn't take me directly there but it brought up a screen to "open" and it worked. Did the same at home and it gave me a "some messages will harm your computer" which I ignored and hit Open anyway and it did.

2:54 am

VolleymomDee

great way to get a virus :(

2:54 am

jwr

correction: licketysplitAUS (no dot)

2:54 am

jillibus

jwr, that's what we've been getting, but it's not connected to BabbleExpert.

2:54 am

Just1Mar

jilli, josh said he clicked save to save the html file and that worked for him...maybe give that a try

2:55 am

jillibus

I'll try.

2:55 am

Just1Mar

just make sure to....

2:55 am

Just1Mar

save it to lickety's expert file

2:57 am

jwr

aha! I'm not "expert" you see. I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose a helping link. Good luck. ... Meanwhile, Volley -- that virus warning comes up on everything new ... when it's really threatening, I get a louder warning. Besides, I've had my shots (:

2:58 am

VolleymomDee

lol jw good to know

2:58 am

jillibus

Justy, I'm not going to fool with it -- too tired to go on anyway.

2:58 am

jwr

maybe I spoke too soo arrrghhhhhhHHHH

2:58 am

VolleymomDee

I'm old; I hate change

2:58 am

Just1Mar

well, sorry jilli, tried the best I could

2:59 am

Just1Mar

me too Dee, still using IE6 and XP

2:59 am

jillibus

jwr, "expert" is not like "going pro". It's a different browser Lickety put together so that his list, the grid, the chat, and some other features are all on one page.

2:59 am

VolleymomDee

I have IE 7 and windows 98 :)

3:00 am

Just1Mar

aha....win 98 is the pits dee :(

3:00 am

dart001

ie 7 and good old vista

3:01 am

Just1Mar

maybe you should go back to IE6 with 98....cause IE7 changed drastically and is much more resource intensive

3:01 am

jaeleigh

you can get a group of four words by filling up a balloon- in7+ 3 in8

3:01 am

Just1Mar

My sister had Vista....it drove me insane (her too)

3:02 am

jwr

thanx for the update jilli -- I never really knew what it was though I thought Expert was only available to Pros. I'm sure you'll get it back intact -- meanwhile, at least Lickety is There and when I'm 3/4ths of the way thru (my rule for me), that's where I go.

3:02 am

Just1Mar

have those jae thx

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

I think the "resource intensive" is the clue here & mcafee is a hog... I don't want vista, and it's a little soon to get windows 7 (bugs not worked out yet)... I am trying to hang on until after the first of the year...

3:03 am

dart001

my laptop died one year ago...didnt have much choice but to get vista

3:03 am

jillibus

Well, night all -- let's hope things get fixed soon!

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

was it tough to manage dart?

3:03 am

dart001

bye jilli

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

nite jili big huge hug

3:03 am

lynxxx

goodnight Jilli

3:04 am

Just1Mar

well then Dee....go back to IE6...get rid of Mcafee...and use the free anti virus AVG.....and watch the change

3:04 am

Just1Mar

night Jilli

3:04 am

dart001

the laptop dying or vista lol

3:04 am

Just1Mar

both dart!

3:04 am

jillibus

Thanks for trying, justy

3:04 am

VolleymomDee

just that might be a good idea; I need to call a computer guy who knows what the he... he is doing... have them do something to "tide me over"

3:04 am

VolleymomDee

ditto just... both

3:05 am

Just1Mar

Best thing to do then Dee, is get him to help you back up whatever you want to keep, reformat the hard drive, and put back IE6 put on AVG antivirus and keep your 98

3:06 am

dart001

sorry had to lose with pocket 9's

3:06 am

Just1Mar

awww dart....decent hand

3:06 am

dart001

hard to find what im used to on vista compared to xp

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

I loved 98 at the beginning; it is coupled with microsoft off professional 2000 and for work (brochures, writing, cards, ads, etc), it is fantastic

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

that is what I have heard dart & many think that was on purpose... may be ok for businesses who have computer geeks on staff, but us home folks are screwed

3:08 am

Just1Mar

I know Dart cause when I still had a sister...and she got her Vista, I helped her naviagate to finding ways to do things that XP and previous versions always used...

3:08 am

VolleymomDee

lots of our mom / pop computer places have closed here (bankrupt, got other jobs)

3:08 am

dart001

waiting to see if upgrading to 7 will be good idea

3:08 am

VolleymomDee

did you lose your sis just?

3:09 am

VolleymomDee

my brother has a friend who is a beta tester for 7 and he claims it is better than vista, but "not spectacular"

3:09 am

Just1Mar

well Dee what I recommened was what is prob best for your computer that has much less power than within the last few years

3:09 am

Just1Mar

We are totally estranged now Dee :(

3:09 am

VolleymomDee

you are absolutely correct just, and so very sorry to hear that... has happened to me and my sis at times over the last 30 years

3:10 am

VolleymomDee

I know how tough that is

3:10 am

Just1Mar

Well basically 7 is Vista in that all the changes for finding things as in the XP and before years

3:10 am

jwr

Just, Dart -- was somebdy talking about Hi Stakes Poker awhile ago? Are you getting it now in the middle of the night. Lucky you. ... Understood it was very real cash tho. Not so?

3:10 am

Just1Mar

well 2x for me Dee, the first and the last, because unless she comes to me, we will die estranged

3:11 am

VolleymomDee

half the time I never did find out what pissed her off

3:11 am

dart001

was watching "poker after dark"...cash game i n vegas between the top pros

3:12 am

Just1Mar

She basically turned the knife several times after her husband stuck it in...we were best friends all our adult lives

3:12 am

Just1Mar

both are good dart....used to be into it, but not much anymore

3:12 am

VolleymomDee

we think my sis' hubby was the instigator here, too... jealous or something nonsensical

3:13 am

Just1Mar

Used to play for "real" money on line and that was in the days when our dollar was only worth .60 - .70 cents...

3:13 am

jwr

Ah, Dart. That's different -- we'll get that at 2:05am PST. I'm enjoying WSOP. Nice to have a real "world" involvement in something called a World Series.

3:13 am

Just1Mar

all on line poker is either in US or Euros

3:14 am

jaeleigh

found the single o in the bottom right- cats are s***** than dogs- they are nicer to pet...

3:14 am

Just1Mar

Dee, my hubby and I have done sooooo much for them, both financially and spiritually over the course of 40 years, and this is how we are paid back

3:15 am

jwr

Just -- did you play for real? I never had the nerve (nor the math!). Seems like you can still play your way into the "cash" games or tournaments.

3:15 am

Just1Mar

I'm Canadian, we were never banned from playing on line poker for real money as you were in the states

3:15 am

Just1Mar

I;m assuming your'e US

3:16 am

VolleymomDee

it sure makes no sense just... I had to learn tho not to be mad, the stress of it was affecting me physically, so now I just don't worry about it... not angry anymore, so it is up to her...

3:17 am

jwr

Right you are. San Francisco. The US has a lot of Purtan holdovers. Explains why the Canadians are among the top players, tho. You really have to risk real money to learn to play well.

3:17 am

Just1Mar

she's the one who suffers terribly from fibro, caused by her husband, gambling poor house welfare and when times were good they pissed it all away anyways

3:18 am

VolleymomDee

is she physically abused?

3:18 am

Just1Mar

and you have to learn how to gauge players, even on line

3:18 am

Just1Mar

No Dee,

3:18 am

VolleymomDee

that's good

3:18 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks FINALLY

3:19 am

His philosphy is why worry, what'll it get me, she loves all the vices too, but still worried, esp in all the down times

oh, by the way... good comedy... The Proposal with Sandra Bullock, Bettye White... really cute

3:20 am

Just1Mar

that's why I still have 95 words left jwr...sometimes the conversation is more interesting than the grid

3:20 am

Just1Mar

esp with a kindred spirit (((Dee)))

3:20 am

VolleymomDee

just may I help you now in some way?

3:20 am

VolleymomDee

that is so true just!! sisters by a different mother LOL

3:21 am

no thx Dee...have the list and all the tools I need!

3:21 am

too bad no two letter words

3:21 am

thanks

3:22 am

Just1Mar

Dartie's my kindred spirit too, but in a different way!

3:22 am

VolleymomDee

was reminded tonight of how short life is... had dinner with my friend (who's hubby died very unexpectedly in March... the one who was given insulin by mistake)

3:22 am

VolleymomDee

she is same age as I am and is a widow...

3:22 am

Just1Mar

oh my Dee, how sad and stupid is that?? :(

3:22 am

VolleymomDee

terribly... she did find out what happened....

3:23 am

Just1Mar

Sure hope at least she doesn't have financial problems, sure don't need that stress as well :(

3:23 am

VolleymomDee

her hubby was in critical care; person next to him had diabetes... one nurse was responsible for 4 patients....

3:23 am

VolleymomDee

one was to get antibiotic and one insulin.... they gave the wrong "bag" to the wrong patient...

3:23 am

VolleymomDee

agreed just

3:24 am

Just1Mar

omg dee

3:24 am

VolleymomDee

it was soooo many levels of wrong

3:24 am

Just1Mar

and my son works in the industry where these mistakes cannot happen...

3:24 am

VolleymomDee

my friend is one of the most godly wonderful people I have EVER met....

3:24 am

VolleymomDee

she wanted to meet the nurse who did it, so she could tell her she forgave her...

3:25 am

VolleymomDee

what industry?

3:25 am

Just1Mar

his company has computertized systems and automatic packaging of drugs per patient...

3:25 am

VolleymomDee

awww for sure... not er6

3:25 am

VolleymomDee

no er 6

3:25 am

Just1Mar

That is amazing Dee, she was prob overworked, and would never have done such a thing intentionally

3:26 am

Just1Mar

nevertheless a life is gone.

3:26 am

Just1Mar

did the other patient die too?

3:26 am

VolleymomDee

perhaps, but somewhere else the system fell apart... 3 people used to have to check a med before it was administered... what happened to those "checkpoints"?

3:26 am

VolleymomDee

no... antibiotic did not kill him

3:27 am

VolleymomDee

so more than one person had to be at fault

3:27 am

Just1Mar

The company my son works for is actually an American (multi national) company....but it's up to the hospitals to go with these systems

3:27 am

VolleymomDee

never thot about other patient... what if he had been allergic to that antibiotic... 2 could have died wow

3:27 am

VolleymomDee

interesting

3:28 am

Just1Mar

yes but he turned out to be the lucky one although a diabetic

3:28 am

VolleymomDee

for sure

3:28 am

dart001

kindred spirit..i like that justy

3:28 am

Just1Mar

3:39 am

they have 5 mil now?

3:40 am

if not more when you consider the GTA

3:42 am

i suppose..we have about 3m...and the two cities only have 400000 and 300000 between them..rest in suburbs

3:43 am

dart001

just lost 25000 on pocket J's..they had pocket Q's :(

3:47 am

Just1Mar

lol dart....been there done that ;)

3:48 am

Just1Mar

just went to heat up a world famous Montreal bagel, boiled in honey water then baked in a wood buring oven

3:49 am

lynxxx

mmm not sure about world famous.

3:50 am

Just1Mar

well NA famous for sure lynxx

3:50 am

dart001

never heard of them lol

3:50 am

lynxxx

But we do have Glick's nearby! lovely bolied bagela

3:50 am

mummy

ugg, can't stand bagels

3:50 am

Just1Mar

that's cause you never had a real one mummy

3:50 am

lynxxx

you haven't had a fresh Glicks boiled bagel

3:51 am

mummy

or honey

3:51 am

Just1Mar

you mean they don't have Mtl bagels in NFLD?

3:51 am

dart001

partridgeberry pies/tarts

3:51 am

mummy

tried them all over the pkace, just dont like them

3:51 am

Just1Mar

lol okay

3:52 am

lynxxx

now you are making things up Dart

3:52 am

dart001

nope...have had them...love em

3:52 am

Just1Mar

ok mummy but if you ever do get to Montreal, just go to either St. Viatuer or Fairmount Bagel Bakery, then tell me you still don't like them and I'll truly believe you

3:53 am

Just1Mar

all I can say is that when out of Montreal, I will never eat a bagel.....even NYC

3:53 am

mummy

ok, will let you know if ever I get there!

3:54 am

lynxxx

aah - lingonberry, now that I have heard of

3:54 am

dart001

same berry..different name

3:55 am

Just1Mar

but you never know dartie NF is closely tied to the UK

3:55 am

dart001

maybe ireland

3:55 am

Just1Mar

I know lynxx you're not in the UK lol

3:55 am

mummy

loganberries, lovely, had them in Melb but never seen them in UK

3:56 am

Just1Mar

yes but Ireland has influences from the 'mainland'

3:56 am

Just1Mar

or should i say 'mainisland' :)

3:57 am

Just1Mar

Montreal is an island too! For those who didn't know (or care) :)

3:59 am

dart001

you guys were almost not the same country as the rest a few years back

4:00 am

Just1Mar

yes true, but this city would have then 'separated' from that new country to become a 'city state'!

4:00 am

Just1Mar

It'll never happen Dartie, they're growing old and dying off!

4:01 am

dart001

would canada have survived with a big gap between the east and west?

4:01 am

Just1Mar

don't know but I do know that it never would have happened....

4:01 am

dart001

or turn it around..would quebec have surv. being isolated in between?

4:02 am

Just1Mar

they would have suffered terribly...the fools

4:04 am

Just1Mar

Dartie, have you been vaccinated yet?

4:04 am

dart001

they could have joined their brothers off the coast of NFLD...St. Pierre and Miguelon

4:05 am

Just1Mar

Don't think those 2 would have left France for the banana republic of quebec

4:05 am

dart001

no..they dont have enough shots yet

4:06 am

Just1Mar

are you gonna take it?

4:06 am

dart001

will worry about that..if they ever get enough

4:07 am

dart001

by the time they do...flu season might be over

4:07 am

Just1Mar

that's crazy...here, only 1 company is supplying the vaccine, but I'm hearing that in the states there are 5 companies providing it

4:09 am

dart001

our population is 10 times yours tho

4:09 am

Just1Mar

Those who want it here, by early Dec evy1 should be done. Right now they're doing it by priority needs...eg babies 6mths or under and their parents, children 6mo to 5yrs and pregnant women 20 weeks or more and pregnant women with compromising medical conditions

4:09 am

Just1Mar

and of course, all done for free....

4:09 am

dart001

same thing here....hi priority first...im not hi priority

4:10 am

Just1Mar

I'm not either...

4:10 am

dart001

sort of free

4:11 am

dart001

free of additional charges

4:11 am

Just1Mar

well you must have ins from work, yes?

4:11 am

Just1Mar

here it's free for all

4:12 am

dart001

you all pay for it...just diff ways

4:12 am

dart001

nothing is free

4:13 am

Just1Mar

well yes, but no one will have to decide whether to buy food or get the shot....

4:13 am

dart001

no ins from work..if youre not in those groups too bad

4:14 am

Just1Mar

when I say free I mean no money transactions in any form will be needed for anyone...those who work and pay taxes are of course paying for it indirectly, and those who are not are still entitled to be innoculated

4:15 am

dart001

during my trips there...(and i know nfld is more expen. than mainland) everything was more expensive..gas..food. and the sales taxes were higher...so you do pay for all the extras like health care etc

4:16 am

Just1Mar

it behooves government's to vaccinate the whole population...otherwise they'll be killing off the poor :( and the poor will infect many

4:16 am

dart001

you posted b4 i...that wasnt an answer to yours lol

4:17 am

Just1Mar

of course we pay, just not directly nor can anyone be denied or condemmed to bankruptcy or death

4:17 am

Just1Mar

well gas shouldn't be more expensive there cause they do have their off shore oil rigs

4:18 am

Just1Mar

it was actually becoming a 'have' province, when oil was almost 150$ a barrel

4:18 am

dart001

but i would think canada would be cheaper gas overall...you are an exporter country...we get a lot of your oil

4:19 am

Just1Mar

sigh and Que is one of the most expensive, and the US is quite cheaper than most provinces, but then, we have health care for all....so the bigger consumers pay more taxes...

4:20 am

Just1Mar

but then, Que residents pay the cheapest hydro electric rates on the continent....

4:21 am

Just1Mar

so it all kinda evens out...but all are covered, is my point.

4:21 am

dart001

i cant compare that...they didnt send me any electricity bills when i was in NFLD lol

4:22 am

mari

fl

4:22 am

Just1Mar

well, it was all figured into your hotel/motel bill :)

4:24 am

dart001

we do need to change our system...but it will be hard...and they keep trying to jack up the taxes on the top earners...the top 5% already pay more than 50 % of the taxes..the bottom 50 % pay about 5 % of the total taxes

4:25 am

Just1Mar

wow it's sooo not like that here, my son, who earns 52 but with overtime about 62 pays 50% :( in que, in bc he'd pay about 39

4:26 am

Just1Mar

in Ont it would be about 42

4:26 am

Just1Mar

If healthcare was run by the state gov'ts with federal guidlines, it would so be manageable

4:27 am

dart001

that's why you always hear the pres talking about no more taxes for the bottom 95% of taxpayers

4:28 am

Just1Mar

well that's why Canada brought in the GST all products and services are taxed. The bigger the consumer the more tax they pay...it's a bitch but it's equitable

4:29 am

dart001

youve got the dilem. of greedy insurance companies on one side running it..or the other way withan inept gov. running it...not sure if good either way

4:30 am

Just1Mar

well ins companies should be totally out of it, except in the capacity of providing "extra" ins

4:30 am

dart001

sales taxes usually hurt poor people more than the rich

4:31 am

Just1Mar

eg...hubby and I have no ins...so all medical is covered just like everyone else....but my son who has a med plan from work can claim eyeglass and certain dentistry, private hospital room etc whereas we cannot

4:32 am

Just1Mar

eye exams are covered less a 30$ fee but glasses are not (with no plan)

4:32 am

Just1Mar

No dentistry covered except for children under 6? for cleanings

4:32 am

dart001

what i worry about here...is if you have a good plan...the company will see no incentive to not drop it and everyone will be on the gov plan

4:33 am

Just1Mar

Que has its own drug plan....you pay a monthly fee of about 10$ and then 1/4 the cost of the drug(s)

4:34 am

Just1Mar

well dart, the change would be so radical for you guys, and the greedy ins companies would look to anyway to keep their bottom lines but...

4:35 am

Just1Mar

at least all Americans would have basic health coverage which means being able to afford a doctor who can the prescribe your asthma prescription....

4:36 am

Just1Mar

I have an on line friend in Atlanta who has asthma but can't afford to pay a doctor to prescribe her asthma medication, which she would then be hardpressed to afford that medicine :( that is soooo not right :(

4:36 am

dart001

by the time they get it in..ill prob be on medicare lol

4:36 am

Just1Mar

they get in?

4:37 am

Just1Mar

a medical plan you mean?

4:41 am

dart001

had to reset router

4:42 am

Just1Mar

cable or dsl?

4:43 am

dart001

cable...but it was the router not inter.

4:45 am

Just1Mar

oh my dsl modem is a router too

4:45 am

dart001

meant wireless router

4:45 am

Just1Mar

I know

4:45 am

Just1Mar

this is a wireless one too but it sucks ....at least in my house

4:46 am

Just1Mar

my modem is in the basement and my son 2 stories up, had very spotty service

4:47 am

Just1Mar

He bought another router but ended up getting his own connection upstairs, due to the configuration of my home....

4:48 am

dart001

router number 2 for us...first one only lasted about 4 or 5 years

4:49 am

Just1Mar

nothing lasts anymore, dartie :( if they were, how would these companies stay in business?

4:51 am

dart001

speaking of not lasting..i betterhead to bed or im not going to last tomorrow with the gang

4:51 am

Just1Mar

take care dartie...nice chatting :)

4:52 am

dart001

cya later.....

4:52 am

Atalante

5:58 am

FMitch

Hi Wolvie
Umm premium bonds are a safe place to put money up to £30k no interest but each month they draw bond numbers and you can win money. but you lose nothing and withdraw your savings whenever you want.

5:59 am

FMitch

Take care Ata feel better soon hun!

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Bye for now Ata

5:59 am

Atalante

6:01 am

FMitch

LOL

6:02 am

FMitch

6:02 am

sprite

FM: not bad. Finally, after all those years, getting some kind of control over my condition and that feels very good. It feeds my hopes and keeps me positive.

6:02 am

zoozzoom

ooh what i could do with one million pounds..*starting to stare at the ceiling dreaming*

6:02 am

Wolvie

last time i was in the UK the convert was 2 :1 - so .... i spent more than i planned! lol

6:03 am

Wolvie

6:03 am

FMitch

Excellent sprite so glad to hear that - you just keep strong.

6:03 am

Wolvie

zoozzoom

Hey get out of my dream..you can`t spend my money too..hahahaha

6:04 am

sprite

I will, promise. I am lacking in many things, but I have this one thing going for me: I never give up.

6:04 am

Wolvie

6:11 am

Wolvie

LOL

6:12 am

zoozzoom

although to be honest i can`t really complain, i managed to pay for my house over ten years ago, so only have bills to worry about, so i know i am lucky really.

6:12 am

Wolvie

6:14 am

Wolvie

6:14 am

zoozzoom

i had not seen either of them..so thought it had to be either of those..lol

6:14 am

Wolvie

6:14 am

Wolvie

well - it was! ;-0

6:15 am

zoozzoom

6:15 am

Wolvie

6:15 am

Wolvie

6:16 am

Dianne

6:19 am

Wolvie

6:19 am

sprite

thanks Wolvie too :)
It may sound funny, but it helps to know that.

6:20 am

Wolvie

not funny at all - good vibes matter. :-)

6:21 am

sprite

they do :)

6:21 am

swmbo

Hi all! Just a quick pop in to ask if anyone else is having a problem with babble Expert?

6:21 am

zoozzoom

i am a strong believer in mind power when it comes to helath, not saying it can cure you..but it really helps when you have a positive attitude.

6:21 am

Wolvie

i agree. :-)

6:21 am

zoozzoom

not tried it Swimbo, but will try it now and tell you.

6:22 am

sprite

hi swmbo, I don't, but when I started the application, I was asked if I wanted to download the babbleclues.html or not. I didn't, and didn't get the clues. Then I restarted and agreed, and all worked fine.

6:22 am

Wolvie

hi swmbo, haven't gone there yet

6:22 am

swmbo

OK, i will try that

6:22 am

swmbo

thanks :)

6:23 am

Wolvie

where is this babble expert?

6:23 am

Wolvie

and I don't mean hurshy. ;-0

6:23 am

reen4

morning all

6:23 am

sprite

exactly zooz!

6:23 am

Wolvie

hi reen4

6:24 am

reen4

we need inge hehe

6:24 am

swmbo

I got it on a separate page, but not the list of clues to the left of the main section. *shrug* oh well

6:24 am

zoozzoom

you have to e-mail Dr_God Wolvie..and he sends you a little program that opens the clues page on the same screen as the puzzle and chog

6:25 am

sprite

it is a download from Lickety, Wolvie. If you email Lickeyt, he will send you the download link.

6:25 am

Wolvie

oooh - okay - will do. ty

6:25 am

zoozzoom

same here Swimbo, i have got windows 7 now, so not sure if that has something to do with it.

6:25 am

Wolvie

i am on a mac - does the program work on one?

6:25 am

zoozzoom

should do Wolvie

6:25 am

swmbo

Babble Expert is from licketySplitAUS and I have had it so long now I forget how I got it! It sets up the page so that you have lickety's clues, the grid and the chat log all on one page

6:25 am

sprite

no, it is only for windows, alas

6:26 am

reen4

any hint for the bottom right R?

6:26 am

zoozzoom

oh ok then not. :-)

6:26 am

zoozzoom

it is ry4 Reen

6:26 am

Wolvie

ah. okay then. too bad

6:27 am

zoozzoom

i have not used it for a long time though Wolvie, only when i am pushed for time.

6:28 am

sprite

lol I always use it, but just for the chatbox. Don't use the clues, but I like the chatbox feature so much

6:28 am

swmbo

the bottom left r? could that be the horse of a different color?

6:28 am

Wolvie

when i use the list, i open it beside the grid and chog, so i can see both at once. works well

6:28 am

swmbo

how do you do that wolvie?

6:28 am

Wolvie

are there 2 ry 4's?

6:28 am

reen4

yes

6:29 am

zoozzoom

no only one Wolvie

6:29 am

Wolvie

I pulled lickety's list onto my desktop and saved it.

6:29 am

sprite

I 've been to the desert on a horse with no name...

6:29 am

reen4

one of them is like R*** shield switch second letter

6:29 am

Wolvie

i have that one too sprite and that bottom r is still open.

6:29 am

Wolvie

have that one reen, ty

6:30 am

swmbo

word list says one ry**

6:30 am

sprite

lol I wasn't clueing, just singing. You inspired me.

6:30 am

hello elder and sprite

6:48 am

we are so glad to see the sun after all the rain we've had

6:48 am

zoozzoom

yes yesterday was a wash out here too.

6:48 am

jacq

they are hoping to have the trains running south again this weekend

6:48 am

sprite

lots of rain here now, but we had a couple of good days

6:48 am

jacq

which is just as well since they had to close the road

6:49 am

jacq

this is the first dry day since last saturday

6:49 am

zoozzoom

could be the rain we had Sprite.

6:50 am

sprite

too eager to share, aren't you?

6:50 am

zoozzoom

:-)

6:51 am

jacq

it's no small wonder there are droughts everywhere, all their rain came to us instead, there must have been a diversion and it got lost

6:52 am

zoozzoom

oh for goodness sake, just found that the two `t`s i was missing was the ones i put in the chog & not the add box,...now i feel really silly.

6:52 am

jacq

LOL i hate that zooz

6:52 am

jacq

6:58 am

Merk

good morning everyone

6:58 am

sprite

hi merk

6:59 am

Merk

My beta version from Lickety is not working today. It opens the list in a separate browser box.

7:00 am

sprite

you are not the only one, Merk, more people are having issues

7:00 am

Mubner

Is there another stat list anywhere?

7:01 am

sprite

the website is working, Mubner, just like always

7:01 am

jacq

are you using expert?

7:02 am

Mubner

expert?

7:02 am

Merk

Yes, issues, that is exactly right. So I still had Lickety when I hit the wall, but there's no transferring from babble to clues or clues to babble.

7:02 am

jacq

nm, i know when i started up i was asked if i wanted to download the list, but i was working on something else when it popped up and hit enter and it did something

7:03 am

Merk

I'm using Beta V11. I'm not sure what expert is ... a later edition?

7:03 am

Merk

Yes, you can open, save, or cancel.

7:03 am

jacq

it's from lickety you email him and ask for it and he sends it to you it puts babble on your desktop with loads of gfeatures inclusing an attached list

7:04 am

Mubner

Maybe it's because I'm a Mac

7:04 am

Merk

What's lickety's email address again?

7:04 am

jacq

start it up again and open i think that was the active button when i hit enter, but as i say i wasn't paying attention

7:04 am

Merk

So I'm assuming that 'expert' does not give you grief today ....

7:04 am

jacq

mmm, hang on i'll check

7:05 am

jacq

i have the list, and it looks current

7:05 am

jacq

aero

7:05 am

jacq

ohh sorry

7:06 am

Merk

I just tried opening the beta version again and it immediately opens a the gray window asking if I want to 'open, save or cancel'.

7:06 am

jacq

hit open

7:06 am

sprite

hit open then

7:07 am

Merk

I can get to the list, I just cannot get to it along the left side using the beta v11. If I click 'open' it opens a new browser window.

7:07 am

sprite

I was asked the same thing and allowing it to open made it work just like always

7:07 am

sprite

I have beta V12

7:07 am

Merk

I did hit open, but it is in a different browser and the "Send words to babble' does not work.

7:08 am

jacq

maybe you need to refresh

7:08 am

Merk

Nope, it opens elsewhere totally separate. I mean it was nice to get the list and all, but I miss the beta features.

7:08 am

sprite

it works fine here

7:08 am

Merk

So what version are you using, sprite?

7:09 am

Merk

Jacq was looking for lickety's email address for me.

7:09 am

sprite

beta V12

7:09 am

Merk

Refreshing didn't work either. It must be the v11 one that is acting up if others have had issues with it today, too.

7:10 am

sprite

could be, worth a try

7:10 am

jacq

can you get the new version?

7:10 am

jacq

it's opening but it's slow, will send it in a second

7:11 am

Merk

I tried refreshing, I tried clicking open. It opens Lickety in a separate browser window.

7:12 am

jacq

sorry was inundated by angry offlines from the ex

7:12 am

sprite

darn jacq, how unpleasant

7:12 am

Mubner

In the past if I couldn't open Lickety then I would go to Babbler Anon and view list there, but it's not there, boo hoo.

7:12 am

jacq

licketysplitaus@gmail.com

7:12 am

Merk

Yuck

7:13 am

Merk

Well, Mubner, I view the list just fine in that separate browser window and can type in words. But then I have to manually copy them to babble. I'm just spoiled and lazy. :-) So some of the convenience is there, just not all.

7:13 am

jacq

but for now he's focussed on me and has been threatening to kill himself, so i got angry

7:13 am

Merk

ty jacq

7:14 am

jacq

l with him

7:14 am

sprite

as I said, Mubner, you can go to lickety's list on his website. See link under friends of babble.

7:15 am

sprite

that's awful, jacq. Do you have to be in contact with him/

7:16 am

jacq

not any more apparently telling him he is selfish and nothing he has done or how he has conducted himself makes me want to come back worked, because apparently it's goodbye for ever, thankfully

7:17 am

jacq

i feel bad about it, but i refuse to be manipulated like that

7:17 am

Mubner

thanks, sprite, will give it another whirl.

7:17 am

sprite

the "do what I want or I will kill myself" manipulation is something that really sets me off. It is so unfair.

7:18 am

jacq

especially since he has 2 kids he says are the be all and end all

7:18 am

littlebit

good morning babble world!

7:18 am

sprite

even more unfair to use it on children. But glad that you can hold your own, jacq.

7:18 am

sprite

hi littlebit

7:19 am

littlebit

hey sprite!

7:21 am

sprite

how's our little bitty babbler?

7:21 am

littlebit

7:21 am

Merk

Morning littlebit

7:21 am

littlebit

i'm doing great!!

7:21 am

jacq

hello littlebit

7:22 am

littlebit

morning merk!

7:22 am

jacq

sorry for spilling that into chog

7:22 am

sprite

that is good to hear! :)

7:23 am

littlebit

7:23 am

littlebit

hey jacq!

7:24 am

movieman

For all those who can't get a clue list, try clicking 'save' when the grey box appears, then drag the icon into the blank space on the left of expert

7:24 am

jacq

heya movie

7:26 am

sprite

don't be, jacq, that is one thing we are here for. Sorry you have to go through this.

7:26 am

sprite

hi movie my man

7:28 am

sprite

this grid is throwing me off with all those vowels. Am over halfway, just, and feel like there cannot be any more words than I found.

7:28 am

jacq

hopefully this it it though, he didn't like my honesty and he said i have killed any feelings he had for me

7:29 am

jacq

i am in the same place sprite, i have 95 left and am struggling

7:29 am

crosshair

morningeveryone..thats interesting,upon opening babble,i recied todays clues seperatly;) nice way to do it actually when the main way is down;)

7:29 am

jacq

hello crossy

7:30 am

littlebit

morning crossy!

7:30 am

sprite

I hope he can sort things out for himself some day and find that he can carry his own responsibility for the relationship and how it ended.
It is not pleasant, jacq, but at least you can tell yourself you have been honest and you did get a necessary message across.

7:31 am

jacq

i hope so, but it seems he values his own self worth on being in a realtionship, not healthy and i wonder how i didn't see this side of him

7:31 am

sprite

see movie's advice, crossy, and hi

7:31 am

mama

Hi, lurker here. I panicked when I couldn't get lickety, and saw that everyone was having trouble. movieman, you're solution worked for me. thanks.

7:31 am

mama

*your*

7:34 am

sprite

breaking up may have triggered something in him, jacq. We cannot always see so deep into eachother. Sometimes we even don't know ourselves what lies hidden. Issues of selfworth are never easy.

7:34 am

kje

why did this little glitch appear all of a sudden

7:34 am

sprite

hi mama

7:34 am

jacq

hello mama and hello kje

7:35 am

7:36 am

sprite

7:36 am

sprite

wtg jacq!

7:37 am

sprite

I have 2 x 7. No 8s. Am being dense today, I bet. But happily plodding on.

7:37 am

jacq

think about blowing up balloons, and the person who does that

7:37 am

sprite

oh wow, thanks

7:37 am

jacq

in8/55 x3, extensions of the in7/40

7:38 am

jacq

7:38 am

jacq

do you want the others?

7:38 am

sprite

7:39 am

jacq

glad to help

7:39 am

sprite

yes please *swallows pride* I am not going to get there today, I think :)

7:40 am

jacq

ok fe8/65 , comes from the fe4/4 and adds british political party which is also a 4 letter word in the grid

7:40 am

jacq

a bit like the furry rodent less the hooked consonant

7:41 am

sprite

another great clue, found it, thank you again

7:41 am

jacq

al8/50 starts with the three letter word for alcohol sold in pints, add a vowel and end with the polital party again

7:43 am

Mubner

7:43 am

sprite

hi inge. Open the expert. Answer SAVE when it asked to open, save or cancel. Drop icon into place where the list used to be.

8:09 am

inge

how do I get my icon to move?

8:09 am

sprite

drag and drop

8:09 am

jbp

give your icon a good relocation package?

8:11 am

sprite

finally fireflies. Must be off, good luck all.

8:11 am

jbp

wow...tough room.

8:11 am

there we go,clue list all dragged over and in place;)

8:12 am

crosshair

time to tackle this bad boy;)

8:12 am

sprite

works fine here, same as with the fireworks video page (no vid though). Try saving on desktop and then dragging the icon to the blank place on the page.

8:13 am

crosshair

yes it kind of vanishes if you save in downloads,do what sprite said and save to desk

8:15 am

Angelsong

hi. sprite...I can't drag the file into the expert because I can't make the expert window small enough to allow access to the downloaded clues file

8:15 am

crosshair

then copy and past it angel

8:16 am

crosshair

paste even

8:17 am

crosshair

works as well

8:17 am

hi all!

about 6 tries to drag the icon succeeded

8:18 am

crosshair

yaa for inge;))

8:18 am

Angelsong

I can copy the downloaded clues file, Crossy...but it won't allow me to paste it in the expert. Is this going to be an ongoing issue, or is it a glitch?

8:18 am

crosshair

just a glitch i imagine

8:19 am

crosshair

i just put babble into a windiowed mode then you have plenty of room to drag and drop if you cannot c=p

8:19 am

crosshair

c+p even

8:19 am

8:19 am

Angelsong

how odd

8:20 am

8:21 am

NonoNanette

Angel when I first opened babble expert this morning, a little grey box popped up asked if i wanted to save or run. I chose run and it loaded the clue list into expert and its fine

the main reason I want health care reform in the US is so I don't have to spend hours of my weekend building spreadsheets to figure out which insurance plan to get from my employer

9:47 am

9:49 am

I don't imagine that having a public option will actually make it simpler - too many people invested in keeping it complicated

9:50 am

DR1965

Yes- I agree

ah well - back to the spreadsheets *poof*

10:48 am

Aloyisius

10:59 am

hootowl

I need a break. If they want to "improve" this game it would help if you didn't lose words as fast as you enter them. Or it says no and enters it when you turn your back. I have wasted an amazing amount of time looking for words I thought were there! bbl

11:00 am

Aloyisius

so sorry, hootowl.. how frustrating!

Since my foot surgery, my son has been doing laundry. It takes him three days. One day to put it in the washer, one day to put it in the dryer, on the third day he brings it back upstairs.

11:21 am

11:30 am

hydra

Ooh, thanks! I didn't even have that fe7, but I know the one you mean...

11:31 am

hydra

Got it. You have to add the UK political party

11:33 am

Gail

And the al/8 uses the same ending.

11:34 am

hydra

How do you know the word values when there's no list today? I checked both Lickety and Bab Anon.

11:35 am

Gail

1:08 pm

Erda

Everybody seems to have the same problem, Bugsaw. Me too.

1:08 pm

Bugsaw

I feel so much better Erda. Thanks

1:08 pm

Atalante

I think that's a lickety issue? not babble, cos babble doesn't have clues on the screen?

1:09 pm

Erda

I am sure he received zillions of emails. Let's see what happens...

1:09 pm

Bugsaw

It is a Lickety issue but for some reason the Babble game doesn't accept all my words but with Expert I am fine!

1:09 pm

Atalante

different servers

1:10 pm

Atalante

ata guess. the babble server glitches

1:10 pm

Atalante

*at a

1:12 pm

Bugsaw

The first night it happened I had one word to go and it would not accept it so I thought I had the wrong word. I was asking for clues and getting very frustrated because all the clues were for the word I thot it was too. I finally entered the word in the chog and people said it was the right one. Ruru was laffing his head off at my trials and frustration. I will never forget it.

1:12 pm

Atalante

yeah, you learn to put in words twice if you're sure about them

1:13 pm

Atalante

also depends on time of day

1:14 pm

harpjane

I'm not using experto tho

1:14 pm

harpjane

oops

1:15 pm

harpjane

so has that one,...

1:15 pm

Bugsaw

You were laffing so much I might have whopped you if you had been closer. It is man humour and you were never in trouble

1:16 pm

rururocks

*giggle*

1:17 pm

Bugsaw

Ruru, I have had 4 sons and 2 husbands. I recognize man humour right away but sometimes, things are just not funny until later!

1:18 pm

rururocks

man humor.. that only men understand?

1:19 pm

Bugsaw

man humour is when they laff at other people's problems instead of commiserating like women would do.

1:19 pm

Bugsaw

admit it. men laff

1:20 pm

Atalante

plenty of women do too!

1:20 pm

Bugsaw

it is the basis of the Charlie Sheen show on TV and it is hilarious sometimes

1:20 pm

rururocks

I do.. but I wouldn't say most men do

1:21 pm

rururocks

I laugh at everything anyway.. I never take anything seriously..

1:22 pm

Bugsaw

Teenage men do for sure. I watched a whole bunch of them looking out the window at a friend of theirs running around the field in the pouring rain for some reason and all they could do was open the windows and yell insults at the poor guy. This was yesterday!

1:23 pm

Bugsaw

I just had to say, "Men" and they roared even more that it definately was a man thing.

1:24 pm

Bugsaw

(Plenty of women do it too Ata but don't let the men know)

1:24 pm

rururocks

(glad i ws here to see that admition)

1:25 pm

Bugsaw

(don't tell anyone tho ruru)

1:25 pm

Atalante

plenty of women do it but pretend to be sympathetic

1:26 pm

Bugsaw

could be Ata. Personally, I can see the humour in absolutely anything after I know I lived thru it. At the time it is just humiliating to be laffed at.

1:26 pm

bonkler

women have a gift for cruelty but men will laugh at dumb things

1:26 pm

bonkler

women have a gift for cruelty but men will laugh at dumb things

1:26 pm

Atalante

you just have to laugh along

1:27 pm

Bugsaw

Good point bonkler.

1:28 pm

Bugsaw

I was laffing along with ruru that night but because he couldn't hear the playful tone of voice when I told him to be quiet, I think he thot I was really mad at him.

1:28 pm

Bugsaw

Always felt bad about that

1:30 pm

rururocks

you can make it up to me by cluing the fo 6.27..

1:30 pm

Boy, when you're away from this game for any length of time, it's slow going to start a puzzle again.

3:47 pm

3:48 pm

hi Gwen. I think its just a tough one

3:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

got to go. bbl...good luck everyone!

3:48 pm

jesdraggon

any computer know-how available for asking here today?

3:49 pm

gwenski

depends on the question. I suggest you ask, and see what happens.

3:51 pm

ruthy

bye temple owl

3:53 pm

jesdraggon

alright. got a new 'puter. it runs vista. yay, but it was free so no complaining, right? well, i'm trying to get the card reader from my digital camera to work, and i cannot find a driver for vista.

3:54 pm

jesdraggon

so i downloaded one for windows 2k, but when it tries to install it has some sort of targeting error and cannot find the folder it made for itself.

3:54 pm

gwenski

I won't be of any help, beyond the usual 'google it' answer. But I'm not surprised a win2k driver doesn't work with vista.

3:55 pm

gwenski

But perhaps someone else will chime in.

3:55 pm

JBsAnno

jes, I don't know the specific answer to your question, I'm still running win xp. My suggestion is put this in a Google search box, including the quote marks, if any:

3:56 pm

JBsAnno

vista +"digital carmera name and model" +driver

3:57 pm

JBsAnno

sorry, add "windows vista" at the beginning of the phrase (didn't totally think it through, but there's always room for another try!)

3:58 pm

JBsAnno

see what hits you get, but don't go beyond two pages of results, try tweaking your search parameters and try again.

3:59 pm

JBsAnno

I hope you have more success than I'm having with this grid today!!

Shirlockc

ni and no6 clue?

4:00 pm

BabbleRabble

ni + suffix for without

4:01 pm

inge

ni + negative ending

4:01 pm

cybernan

no 6: negative + creative endeavors

4:01 pm

jesdraggon

apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. "I have the vista system on my new dell computer. I'm trying to use my sandisk
sddr-09 usb smart card reader. According to sandisk it is system ready
without a driver. But my computer tells me I need a driver. The closest
driver from sandisk is the windows 2000 driver but when I load it I am given
file error message. The guy at sandisk tells me I need to contact Microsoft.
When I tried ot access via website and typed in my procut serial number for
viata it tells me I've done it wrong. I've checked the numbers twice and re-
entered to no avail now what?" is the top result of that search

4:01 pm

Shirlockc

thx for the ni, could nave sworn i tried it

4:01 pm

Shirlockc

thx cyber for the no

4:01 pm

BabbleRabble

no - suffix for without and carney linkletter fleming garfunkel

4:02 pm

inge

no: start with negative ending + word for paintings, etc

4:02 pm

cybernan

my best advise is to scrap vista and go back to xp

4:02 pm

cybernan

*advice

4:03 pm

jesdraggon

yeah; well.... that's a brilliant plan except I never had XP, i'd have to go buy it. I jumped from 2K to Vista, and all the other computers in the house use Vista, so switching this one screws up the networking thing.

4:03 pm

jesdraggon

believe me, i've thought of that already!

4:04 pm

jesdraggon

sandisk forums came to the same conclusion... vista will NOT talk to this card reader, end of story. bastards.

4:04 pm

cybernan

I'm waiting for the new os to come out -- maybe even to make sure there are no bugs in it as long as xp keeps working. Too many of my programs aren't compatible with vista.

4:06 pm

jesdraggon

yeah; i agree. we have xp at work, so i'll just have to use my work computer for pictures it seems. stupid microsoft and their dumb lack of backwards compatibility.

4:07 pm

jesdraggon

good thing my boss doesn't care.

4:07 pm

Matches

second re 6/18 clue please

4:07 pm

JBsAnno

jes, all I can say is sorry! That's the reason I don't want vista, just not willing to join the ranks of the frustrated customers who are the real world testers of a not ready for prime time product.

4:08 pm

jesdraggon

the second re i have is ripped again. haven't listed yet so i don't know if it's actually the second one, matches

JBsAnno

*waiting with bated breath*

4:13 pm

stidmama

okay, the elder stidkid did "okay" on his midterm math test -- his study habits were not great so he hadn't really understood the mechanics. We are pleased with his effort.

4:13 pm

stidmama

And the younger stidkid participated in a taekwondo tournament today, his first. Got a bronze medal for his "form" (the only competition he wanted to do).

4:14 pm

lynxxx

good stuff!

4:14 pm

stidmama

He was sad because there were only three of them competing at his level, but we are pleased that he made the effort.

4:14 pm

stidmama

So I am very proud of both my offspring. *big mama smile*

4:17 pm

4:17 pm

JBsAnno

um, nope, I just saw it!!!!

<pb for me!!>

4:17 pm

4:17 pm

4:25 pm

HI stid. Glad to see that things are going better for you. Congratulations to both your boys!

4:26 pm

Bugsaw

I love it when parents are happy with "ok" when their kid really struggles to get that much

4:26 pm

stidmama

hey Bugs! thanks. ((((BIG hug)))) I met with the troublesome classmate and one of our teachers last night and I think things will be okay now.

4:26 pm

stidmama

yes, and it's funny how easy it is for me to be happy with their effort and how hard it is for me to be okay with what I perceive as my own mediocre performance.

4:27 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad for you. I had a horrible classmate too and the teachers knew what the dynamics were with her so they did not penalize me.

4:27 pm

stidmama

stidkid #2 says thanks for the congrats. He is pleased (I think) that he did it.

4:27 pm

Shirlockc

ra6/33?

4:27 pm

Bugsaw

ROFL I do the same thing all the time - judging myself much harder than I would ever judge someone else

4:28 pm

Bugsaw

He should be pleased. Competitions are not easy because of the pressure

4:28 pm

lynxxx

ra6.33 to make uncommon

4:28 pm

stidmama

he was more nervous than I had ever seen him, and he does a lot of public perfomances and such.

4:29 pm

not blaming lickety! firefox just updated itself and now when i try to open the page, it gets stuck in a loop asking me about accepting the same 2 cookies over again infinitely.

4:41 pm

BabbleRabble

lickety asks me to download a file to see the clues

4:41 pm

BabbleRabble

I use firefox

4:42 pm

jesdraggon

huh. when did tat start, bab? it's never done that to me before, i just assumed it was the latest update.

4:42 pm

Minveryork

My Lickety page is no longer white. The background is beige/tan. Did anyone else's Lickety page change?

4:42 pm

jesdraggon

I do not use expert ... last night was the first and only time

4:42 pm

4:43 pm

jesdraggon

i've never used lickety's separate thing, just the webpage

4:43 pm

Minveryork

Yes, that happened to me today also. I chose to run the file instead of downloading it. Maybe that is why the color's different.Maybe Lickety updated program

4:43 pm

BabbleRabble

me too, jes ... had to download the file

4:44 pm

I don't have expert

Hello all :)

6:25 pm

Minveryork

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

6:27 pm

zoozzoom

lickety is working, just that you need to download the clues now, not sure why

6:27 pm

zoozzoom

which makes expert not work properly as far as i know.

6:28 pm

zoozzoom

as for the person himself, no i have not heard anything new.

6:28 pm

jillibus

I know, zooz -- I emailed him about the problem last night

6:28 pm

Minveryork

I was given the option to download or run program.I ran it instead of downloading it and it worked for me

6:29 pm

zoozzoom

mine just say `open, save, cancel...no option for running, so it will only open in aa new window.

6:30 pm

jillibus

same here

6:30 pm

jillibus

min, do you use Expert?

6:30 pm

jillibus

or do you have a Mac?

6:32 pm

Minveryork

Maybe I opened Lickety instead of running it. It was this morning hours ago, so I do not really remember.

6:32 pm

Minveryork

I do not have BabbleExpert and I do not have a mac.

6:33 pm

jillibus

thanks, min -- so this doesn't make that much difference to you.

6:34 pm

Minveryork

I do not really care how program works, as long as it DOES work! I'm still so grateful to Lickety for his list.

6:35 pm

jillibus

I'm doubly grateful to Lickety for Expert, which makes things so much simpler, and it really hurts when it's not working properly!

6:36 pm

jillibus

7:35 pm

harpjane

thanks

7:35 pm

Minveryork

yw

7:35 pm

Jacula

Min - it's x-rays or the normal theme.

7:36 pm

Jacula

Although, x-rays are good news in their own way.

7:36 pm

Minveryork

Guess it would depend on the results of the x-ray Jac

7:37 pm

Jacula

True, Min, but at least things can be diagnosed with x-rays, unlike before.

7:38 pm

Minveryork

That's true too Jacula. Glad there's an alternative to tomorrow's theme.Wish it was like that every Sunday

7:38 pm

Jacula

I know what you mean, Min!

7:39 pm

Minveryork

Think X-rays was an icon theme not too long ago too.

7:39 pm

Jacula

But, trying to find a positive amongst negatives is a good thing, even if it's only something small like the pleasure of the sun on your face, joy at the sight of autumn colours or something.

7:40 pm

harpjane

i thought you were grateful for x rays?

7:40 pm

Jacula

I am Min. LOL

7:40 pm

Minveryork

Yes! I believe the glass is ALWAYS half full not empty.

7:41 pm

Jacula

I was trying to say that if anyone finds it difficult to be grateful for something every Sunday, they should perhaps look to the small things.

7:41 pm

Jacula

Glad to hear it, Min.

7:44 pm

Jacula

I'm going to nip off to play the word games Babbler Hydra has going with me on F/B, since no one seems to need clues at present.

7:51 pm

lbdawger

7:52 pm

Lindrickway

but there is snow in Ottawa, so I am told!

7:52 pm

stidmama

7:54 pm

stidmama

yep, that's about how I feel about it LBD -- I just hope we don't have completely rotten weather this coming week (wet is okay, stormy not). I have a lot of driving I need to do.

7:55 pm

lbdawger

ugh, i'm not thrilled about driving in the icy weather. going to work at o'dark early isn't bad, but coming home with traffic is the pits

7:55 pm

Lindrickway

yuck I hate early mornings whatever the weather!

7:56 pm

autumn moon

I read back a little - yes, Lind, there is snow in Ottawa. And guess where I'm going on the 19th

7:56 pm

Lindrickway

7:56 pm

lbdawger

i like mornings, get a start on stuff, but in the winter it's kinda dicey. roads aren't cleared when i leave for work, so...

7:57 pm

autumn moon

But, that also means I don't know if I'll drive down to Napanee to meet up with you

7:57 pm

Lindrickway

I like mornings between midnight & 3am! lol

7:57 pm

stidmama

I like mornings, I like to do things in the morning and then have the afternoon to nap, and then do more in the evenings. Not a common schedule, and not possible these days!

7:57 pm

stidmama

oooh lindy! that's way too past my bedtime!

7:57 pm

autumn moon

Jacula

I can but the stats into my profile if those that can't get Lickety need them. I believe they're already in BabAnon though.

8:54 pm

jillibus

lbd, we don't get the Run choice.

8:55 pm

Jacula

I'll put the stats ub my profile then, shall I?

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

i'm usng babanon, it's just that i'm incredibly lazy and the extra step of figuring out where on the list things go is wearing me out

8:56 pm

lbdawger

do you get the save option? you can do that, then go into whereever you saved it and click on that.

8:56 pm

jillibus

Anyway, I emailed Lickety about it last night when it was about 7:30 pm Aussie time, and I just emailed mrp too incase he hadn't checked his email.

8:56 pm

kje

et7?

8:56 pm

lbdawger

et7, forever!

8:56 pm

Minveryork

That et 7/28 word means forever kje.

8:56 pm

torgone

Forever ..

8:56 pm

Pinikula

et7 = forever

8:56 pm

Pinikula

8:57 pm

kje

duh! TY!!!

8:58 pm

Pinikula

the big el's?

8:58 pm

lbdawger

will you be et7ly grateful to us, kje? lol

8:58 pm

jillibus

I can get the list, but in a separate window, and toggling back and forth, entering twice, etc, is SO tedious, when I've been a spoiled brat with easy Expert.

8:59 pm

lbdawger

e+ not early

8:59 pm

Minveryork

el 5/16 is Santa's helper plus opposite of out Pinikula.

8:59 pm

Pinikula

thx lbd ;)

8:59 pm

Minveryork

el 5/10 is e plus la 4/4 word and el 6/18 adds a snake

8:59 pm

Pinikula

thx min ;)

9:00 pm

Minveryork

yw

9:00 pm

Pinikula

er6? fish?

9:00 pm

jillibus

trouble is too, if I go elsewhere and open a browser page it wipes out the list, and I have to Bulk Add all over again.

9:00 pm

lbdawger

er+ **** and rave

9:00 pm

Minveryork

er6/18 is er plus ra4/4 word Pinikula;not really a fish

9:01 pm

lbdawger

hope lickety gets it fixed, i didn't have any problems getting it to open up in expert.

9:01 pm

Jacula

Stats are now in my profile if anyone wants them.

9:01 pm

Pinikula

thx again, min ;)

9:01 pm

Minveryork

yw

9:01 pm

Pinikula

E's executed ;)

9:01 pm

Jacula

Save them to notepad or word and then you minimise them in another window.

9:02 pm

Minveryork

Excellent Pinikula!

9:02 pm

jillibus

lbd, did you have to Save? I think you said you could just hit Run, but I don't get that choice.

9:03 pm

jillibus

Jac, you don't use Expert so you don't realise what we're missing!

9:03 pm

lbdawger

i saved it the first time, but when i checked licket's page, i just hit run.

9:03 pm

kje

or - when it pops up, hit save... then drag icon from the desktop into the space where the clues should be in expert, and they will open up

9:04 pm

Jacula

Talking to myself I see (wouldn't be th first time). Anyway, stats ARE in my profile if it's easier for anyone.

9:05 pm

Jacula

Mind you, I don't use 'expert', so have never relied on it.

9:05 pm

jillibus

lbd, I don't see Run on Lickety's page anywhere.

9:05 pm

Pinikula

I heard ya, jac...but my expert's working, so I'm good...sorry! :) (thx for helping out tho)!

9:05 pm

lbdawger

a box should pop up on your screen, Jilli.

9:05 pm

Jacula

Thanks for 'seeing' me, Pini!

9:05 pm

Pinikula

fo6? does it extend the fo4?

9:05 pm

stidmama

thanks Jac, for posting the stats

9:06 pm

jillibus

Very kind of you, jac, but they're in BabAnon too.

9:06 pm

Jacula

y/w, Stid.

9:06 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I know, but not everyone knows how to access BabAnon.

9:06 pm

lbdawger

pini, extra vowel for unborn baby

9:06 pm

Minveryork

fo 6/27 is enemy plus I'm ***ler than my sister Pinikula

9:07 pm

jillibus

pini -- your Expert's working? Complete with the list and Lickety Add putting words in it?

9:07 pm

Pinikula

thx min...(I'm ***ler than both of my sisters and my mother)

9:07 pm

Minveryork

Actually I lied.That was just a clue. I am the shortest

9:07 pm

Pinikula

yes, jilli ;)

9:07 pm

jillibus

ah, I see, jac -- doubly kind of you :)

9:07 pm

Jacula

LOL, Min.

9:08 pm

lbdawger

brb

9:08 pm

jillibus

How come, pini? What did you do to get it that way? Mine worked just fine last night until I shut down and came back.

9:08 pm

Jacula

jilli - take care, or I might play rock music at you. *Cackles evilly.*

9:08 pm

stidmama

LOL Min! I am the smallest in my family, too -- or was, until my mother started to shrink. *sad daughter look* I wish she weren't slumping.

9:08 pm

kje

fo7?

9:09 pm

Jacula

raced along before, kje.

9:09 pm

Pinikula

when I opened expert earlier, a dialog box popped up over it saying I needed to save or run something...I hit run...and Lickety popped up ;)

9:09 pm

jillibus

fo7 -- what a golfer yells + the winner *** a great race

9:09 pm

stidmama

hm. maybe I will try opening expert again. brb

9:09 pm

Pinikula

thx for the fo7 :)

9:09 pm

stidmama

thanks for the fo 7

9:10 pm

Dorens

Jacula

stid - just use the list.

9:10 pm

Pinikula

fr5? fish?

9:10 pm

jillibus

Pini, some of us don't get that box with the Run choice. We get Open, Save, or Cancel.

9:10 pm

Dorens

common babblet pini

9:11 pm

Jacula

Hi Dorens. I haven't forgotten about inviting you to my blog, just haven't been in there to update it recently post holiday.

9:11 pm

Pinikula

I see, jilli...I'm going to restart and see what else I might get...one moment please...

9:11 pm

stidmama

I will Jac -- just wanted to know if it would work. It didn't.

9:11 pm

Minveryork

That fr 5/16 word is fr plus iron *** Piniukla.

9:11 pm

stidmama

DOREN!!!! what are you doing up so late, young lady???

9:11 pm

Dorens

that's okay jac... how was the holiday??

9:11 pm

stidmama

holiday? was it a holiday in the UK?

9:11 pm

Minveryork

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

9:11 pm

Jacula

fr4/7 = fr + metal (iron maybe?)

9:11 pm

stidmama

9:12 pm

jillibus

I believe it's Remembrance Day in the UK

9:12 pm

Dorens

holiday=vacation there, stid.

9:12 pm

Minveryork

That is mighty fine!

9:12 pm

Jacula

The holiday was amusing, Dorens. I loved how Step's few months older cousin disciplined her before we could.

9:12 pm

Dorens

late? it's 10:12 pm here stid. just finally got the baby back to sleep (visiting the grands)

9:12 pm

Dorens

glad someone did jac.. good that she came along then

9:12 pm

jillibus

Prince Charles and Camilla are in Victoria, and they're wearing two kinds of poppy -- ours and a slightly different one.

9:13 pm

stidmama

oh. hope all is well and they are as darling as can be?

9:13 pm

Pinikula

Question for those with expert...when expert is open, if you "refresh clues" do you get a pop-up dialog?

9:13 pm

Minveryork

Is there a baby monitor in Penalty Box for Dorens?

9:13 pm

stidmama

our Victoria? they're here?

9:13 pm

Dorens

this baby Levi is just too adorable for words.. singing and gurgling away.. never quiet

9:13 pm

stidmama

LOL what a sweet sort of child to babysit!

9:14 pm

Dorens

wait, min... stid said it first!!! put her in the pb

9:14 pm

jillibus

Yes, stid, and will be attending the church where my bro-and-sis-in-law are regulars (Christ Church Cathedral) on Sunday.

9:14 pm

Minveryork

Okay stidmama, off you go!

9:14 pm

Dorens

jilli that is really somthing!!

9:14 pm

stidmama

that's pretty nifty jill!

9:14 pm

Jacula

It is, jilli. The army guys in the local market town were joined by a man in Guy Fawkes guise today who stuck up a notice saying 'Penny For The Guy' over their notice and then sat down beside them under the statue of Housman, the poet.

9:14 pm

Pinikula

did I miss the fr5 clue?

9:15 pm

Dorens

fr + iron ***

9:15 pm

stidmama

I did? oh. okay... *wanders into PB and takes lovely dark choclit with me*

9:15 pm

Minveryork

That fr 5/16 word is fr plus iron *** Piniukla.

9:15 pm

Dorens

may i have a clue for the second re 7/28 please?

9:15 pm

Jacula

It wasn't straying away from the poppy fund, he was a soldier who'd decided to try for the old way.

9:15 pm

Pinikula

oooh, got it!!! F's frozen!

9:16 pm

jillibus

Um, jac, what is your icon about?

9:16 pm

Minveryork

re7/28:someone who sells houses minus letter Dorens

9:16 pm

Erda

Any developments on the Lickety problem?

9:16 pm

Pinikula

8's gone, too!

9:16 pm

Dorens

oh well, then I'll join you stid, for the choclit

9:16 pm

Minveryork

Fantablulous Piniukla!

9:16 pm

lbdawger

9:16 pm

stidmama

9:16 pm

Minveryork

*Fantabulous

9:16 pm

Jacula

2nd re7 is someone who re7/28s (verb form of the re6.18) to something.

9:16 pm

stidmama

9:18 pm

jillibus

Well done, erda!

9:18 pm

Erda

Well -- I asked a question. I guess nobody knows!

9:18 pm

Jacula

jilli - if you scroll down past the stats, you'll see my icon is the alternative theme for Sunday - X-rays invented. I't an x-ray of my dauyghter's skull and you can reaf the story in my profile after the stats.

9:18 pm

Pinikula

apparently it's still broken, erda

9:18 pm

jillibus

brb -- must start zapping supper

9:18 pm

Erda

Thank you, Pinikula!!

9:18 pm

lbdawger

Erda, i don't think it's been resolved yet. many are still having issues.

9:18 pm

jillibus

thanks, jac!

9:19 pm

Pinikula

9:19 pm

Jacula

y/w jilli.

9:20 pm

Jacula

Erda - if you need a list there is one in my profile - just click on me.

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

lbdawger

9:21 pm

Minveryork

The 1st la 5/10 word ends with double vowels Pinikula

9:21 pm

jillibus

back in a bit :)

9:21 pm

stidmama

cool, because the way the xray shows the adult teeth. scary because my kids are still doing brainless things like that!

9:21 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye jillibus! I will see you later on in the chat log

9:21 pm

stidmama

9:22 pm

Jacula

Any requests for a rock song whlt Jilli is away? LOL

9:22 pm

Pinikula

9:22 pm

lbdawger

9:22 pm

Minveryork

Lovely Pinikula!

9:22 pm

Pinikula

wow...didn't even notice that I finally broke 200!

9:23 pm

Pinikula

(oh, how the little things can make one so happy)

9:23 pm

stidmama

pini, you are completely blowing me away today. I am down to 88

9:23 pm

Pinikula

it's be a first in a long time, stid!!!!

9:23 pm

stidmama

go pini go!

9:23 pm

Jacula

Stid - my daughter (now 22) has a Mini and drives like a maniac. If I didn't have naturally low blood pressure, it'd be off the scale by now.

9:23 pm

licketySplitAUS

9:24 pm

Jacula

9:26 pm

licketySplitAUS

I have just spent some money on a domain name, and am setting up hosting.

9:26 pm

Dorens

he did say BIG news, not good news

9:26 pm

Minveryork

Hello mkg! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

9:26 pm

licketySplitAUS

Luckily Google is providing redirects, so ...

9:26 pm

stidmama

wow lickety. *astonished look*

9:27 pm

licketySplitAUS

Hopefully in about 2 hours all should be working again.

9:27 pm

stidmama

NOT just for us, I hope? you have extra motives?

9:27 pm

Jacula

Do you need donations for that, Lickety?

9:27 pm

Pinikula

so, what you're saying is to not give up hope!!!!

9:27 pm

mkg

lickety you provide us with a wonderful wonderful tool without which it is hard to do the grid.

9:27 pm

joey

thanks, Jac, I was going to ask the same thing

9:27 pm

licketySplitAUS

still go a little bit of work to do - for future grids etc, but it should be all operationaly shortly.

9:27 pm

mkg

i am very appreciative to you lickety.

9:27 pm

Dorens

lickety... we (speak for myself, maybe) would be happy to help pay for that

9:27 pm

stidmama

((((((((LICKETY)))))))) you are the BEST!!!!

*scatters choclits liberally*

9:27 pm

Pinikula

* please let us know what we can do to help *

9:27 pm

lbdawger

i concur with dorens, lickety.

9:27 pm

Jacula

I don't use 'expert' nor even your list most of the time, but I'd pay a donation to help Babble, if needed.

9:27 pm

licketySplitAUS

I've never asked for donations, but I do have a paypal account with same name - @gmail.com

9:28 pm

Minveryork

Hello joey!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

9:28 pm

mkg

how do you do the clues if you dont play the game lickety? where do you get them from? the list i mean.

9:28 pm

joey

thanks, Minveryork. On the upside of chemo this week. doing ok

9:28 pm

lbdawger

mkg, fe4.7 + s****books are fun to read

9:28 pm

licketySplitAUS

mkg I get the list by teaching my computer how to do it

9:28 pm

stidmama

joey? chemo? I had no idea. *puts joey on list*

9:29 pm

joey

thanks, stidmama. preciate all good thoughts and prayers

9:29 pm

Pinikula

lickety and his computer are very smart!

9:29 pm

lbdawger

Joey, you're in my continual prayers.

9:29 pm

Pinikula

glad to hear it's a good week, joey *hugs*

9:29 pm

mkg

wow lickety i am amazed.

9:29 pm

joey

thanks lbdawger. 2 down, 4 to go.

9:30 pm

Dorens

thinking of you joey... glad to see you here in good spirits

9:30 pm

Minveryork

I'll gladly help support your list and website.Would be so lost without your list Lickety. Thank you so much!

9:30 pm

mkg

s books? huh?

9:30 pm

licketySplitAUS

Your welcome everyone. I'm not in the grid much these days but I still try and make sure clues are done

9:30 pm

lbdawger

if i tell you a s****, it would start with, once upon a time,..

9:30 pm

stidmama

lickety is one of those amazingly smart people without whom I look like the inept loser I typically am...

9:30 pm

joey

thanks to all. I reallly appreciate the thoughts, prayers, holding to the lighte, etc. it really does help to come here and even lurking get a lift

9:30 pm

stidmama

and yes, it was a hard week for me.

9:30 pm

Pinikula

oh, stid!

9:31 pm

stidmama

but not insurmountable, it turned out. I am still in the master's program pini!

9:31 pm

joey

sorry to hear that, stidmama. hope you are on the upside too

9:31 pm

Pinikula

yeah!!!

9:31 pm

o2baflyndog

hi all, good to *see* you all, and I have a question... I've never used lickety's clues but just saw Dorens say something about expert for macs... so I gather there is a different version for pcs?

9:32 pm

Pinikula

that's good to hear, stid...I survived Friday...it was the best day this week...

9:32 pm

Minveryork

Lickety, can you teach my computer how to fix itself

9:32 pm

mkg

guess i dont have the fe 4. sorry. wont work with my fe 4 7 words.

9:32 pm

Dorens

thanks lickety... thanks ever so much... so often I think i don't have time... then i open your list and the last 30 or 50 or whatever seem to fly by

9:32 pm

stidmama

I am joey, thanks. I am able to eat again, too, which helps. Apparently in the middle of all this I ate something that I am sensitive to and wasn't able to keep food down for a few days.

9:32 pm

Minveryork

Hello o2baflyndog! How are you? Welcome to the grid

9:32 pm

o2baflyndog

I have a mac, and the clues list just seems really cumbersome... any solutions out there?

9:32 pm

lbdawger

fe+ **d roses, mkg

9:32 pm

stidmama

FLYING DOG!!! ((((hugs and hugs)))) guess what?

9:32 pm

o2baflyndog

hi min =) hi stid =)

9:33 pm

o2baflyndog

what??

9:33 pm

Pinikula

become a PC, o2

9:33 pm

stidmama

I have FINALLY trained Lucky to almost let me trim his toenails (it's been four years) -- I actually managed to wrestle him down under sedation last week and get the front ones done.

9:33 pm

o2baflyndog

lol pini, nowaynohow!

9:33 pm

Dorens

i find lickety's clues far from cumbersome.... they make all the difference in the world. expert apparently makes it even faster, but I'm oka without

9:33 pm

joey

being able to eat is something which i have come to value very much. on the up side, i have lost almost 30 pounds, which is good for me

9:33 pm

stidmama

I am SO proud of myself!

9:33 pm

Pinikula

then no help for you!!! :)

9:33 pm

o2baflyndog

good job, stid! =)

9:33 pm

Pinikula

wtg stid! :)

9:34 pm

o2baflyndog

aw, pini.

9:34 pm

Pinikula

could you take care of Koda's, too?

9:34 pm

Pinikula

sorry, o2 :)

9:34 pm

o2baflyndog

maybe I'm just lazy dorens =)

9:34 pm

stidmama

I hope that the weight loss isn't too draining, joey. Someone I know had a lot of trouble getting enough to eat during chemo.

9:34 pm

stidmama

It was such a long haul, but that person is now better.

9:34 pm

o2baflyndog

probably why I never finish a grid

9:34 pm

lbdawger

have you guys tried the pedipaw trimmer?

9:34 pm

stidmama

but it's hard to have energy to do even little things when you have extended nutrition issues.

9:34 pm

o2baflyndog

you sounded a little like the soup nazi there =)

9:35 pm

Dorens

is it for cats, lbd, or just dogs?

9:35 pm

stidmama

I can do Koda's nails no problem, pini. just come visit.

9:35 pm

Pinikula

who me????

9:35 pm

Pinikula

I might have to do that, stid!!!

9:35 pm

Pinikula

I could road test the "rig"!

9:35 pm

o2baflyndog

the pedi paw is a weak version of the dremmel, the dremmel works a lot better on bigger dogs

9:35 pm

Pinikula

(the who me was for o2)

9:35 pm

o2baflyndog

yeah, you!

9:35 pm

mkg

got the fe word. ty ty ty

9:35 pm

Dorens

pini? a soup nazi? pini is a sweetheart

9:35 pm

o2baflyndog

no soup for you!

9:36 pm

stidmama

not sure Lucky would be sedatable enough for a POWER tool! LOL

9:36 pm

o2baflyndog

yoking

9:36 pm

Pinikula

* ah shucks *

9:36 pm

o2baflyndog

oh, always use the battery operated one, the corded one (dremmel) is too powerful

9:36 pm

Pinikula

(no harm, no foul, o2...just messin' back!)

9:36 pm

MPittore

rollin in here

9:36 pm

stidmama

I have the week before thanksgiving off, pini. Was going to take a small roadtrip to powell's again early that week (have to spend most of the week writing the final draft of the quarter's paper)

9:36 pm

Pinikula

hi Pitt!

9:37 pm

lbdawger

those guillatine (sp) clippers are scary to use. never liked them

9:37 pm

o2baflyndog

and I find the dogs are actually better about it once they get used to it

9:37 pm

stidmama
