good idea actually; just read recently that in California marijuana has been legalized... cannot imagine driving out there... bad enough with traffic and road rage
3:37 am
grannyrose

don't think it would be a good thing, to be found with high levels of morphine in my blood.....
3:38 am
VolleymomDee

can't smoke in public places; cannot use some unhealthy oil to fry food, but marij is oka
3:38 am
VolleymomDee

3:38 am
dalmatian5

marijuana, in CA is legalized for medicinal purposes only
3:38 am
VolleymomDee

we really are nuts... God has to go from weeping over us to laughing out loud
3:38 am

5:21 am
Aloyisius

5:38 am
oodleberry

6:11 am
Aloyisius

6:11 am
Michnick

I've always wanted to make my own bagels but I never have enough hours for such a big project.

good luck Aloy, did you irrigate at night?
6:43 am
Aloyisius

the honey bells were frozen.. the hamlins are supposed to be picked but are dropping.. the valencias.. remain to be seen. No, red, the wind speed was over 5mph, so you can't irrigate with microjets
6:44 am

7:26 am
Aloyisius

didn't know about the food, wish I did when our dog needed it, but maybe it wasn't on the market then
7:28 am
sprite

quite possible, they are learning more about dogs and their food every day.
What we have is Hill's Science Plan, Healthy Mobility, Adult mini
7:29 am
Aloyisius

ty, will keep that in mind for others
7:29 am
lynxxx

do you think Hill's must be worth buying shares in? They are all over Vets and pet Shops here too!
7:31 am
sprite

it is incredibly good food. When I compare Te5 with the dogs our breeder has, his coat is shinier, his weight is better, his eyes are clearer, he moves better and he has more energy.

7:39 am

that has been one of the big pluses of having a blackberry is that it is really easy to delete spam
7:40 am
sprite

a blackberry! Now that sounds very sophisticated. Isn't that the rolls royce among the PDAs?
7:41 am
lynxxx

I never get Spam, only ever had 2 unwanted emails in 4 years. I have always had Norton Security - I guess that is why
7:41 am

7:42 am

ah, see how out of date I am myself ;)
7:42 am

well it only took a year for it to go from very hot to out of date! lol
7:42 am

norton is very good, though it used to slow down the computer after a while. It used to be a really BIG program. Is it different now?

coffee is done brb
7:45 am

hi Une! We just switched to Norton from McAFee.. so far, so good.. I do notice the computer slowing at times, but am happier without the constant popups reminding us to "protect our computer" .. McAfee was aggravating

YES, bojazz!!!

7:53 am

that and using loan as a verb
7:53 am
Uneaixoise

I've pulled clumps of hair out over " John and myself" ... "her and I" etc.
7:54 am

not to mention affect and effect

re loan, yes indeed, jmc!

i am often guilty with affect and effect so i usually avoid the words
7:54 am

feels so good to vent (-:
7:55 am

and it's rampant, jmc
7:55 am
jmcnrick

well here's the thing une (and sprite and others) i am happy to vent about these things
7:55 am
Uneaixoise

I used to edit material for people who would come back with "well, maybe it's not PREFERRED usage" -- no, it's just WRONG

it always gives me a kick to discover how to speak/write correctly. I have this great book: How to perfect your english. And right at the beginning they say that most people will pronounce (or rather stress) 'perfect' incorrectly here ;)

well i do too but the two things that irritate me the most -- enthuse and loan as a verb -- well the cow is out of the barn on them whether i like it or not
8:03 am

8:07 am
Uneaixoise

Haz and Ata always do me that courtesy and I love it. Some corrections I even write down, so I can check when in doubt. English isn't easy in any way! (Well, not if you want to do things correctly)
8:07 am

8:07 am

still thinking, but in the meantime, I have a reaction when schools say they are going to have a test "blitz" which means intensive practice before the test - I don't like the word blitz, not to mention the whole concept

8:17 am

jmc runs an anti-war non-profit organization, so...
8:17 am
jmcnrick

there is nothing to understand they are just trying to come up with something clever and striking to get people to always aware of the use of violent te4s in our common language
8:17 am
JBV

if you start using a term enough, other people will catch on and start using it, so you can invent something - dot points, ball points, etc. ????

how about little heart symbols?
8:18 am
jmcnrick

i have a friend who has a list of 50 words and phrases that are "violent"
8:18 am

oh now I get it, sorry to be so slow. They object so strongly to the word bullet that they refuse to use it in any way, even if the meaning isn't agressive.
8:18 am
hurshy

ooh i know! at least this would be funny. emeril always says "BAM!", which is the sort of idea of bullet points, bam bam bam, so you could call them emeril points!!!

church issues?
9:29 am
hurshy

yes, it's very hard sometimes to find a church when you actually care
9:30 am
Atalante

you're lucky you have a choice!
9:30 am
hurshy

in america, it can be hard to find a church where the people actually really believe stuff that has a liturgical worship service, and that is the combo i want.
9:31 am
hurshy

rather, you can find such churches, but everyone else in them has white hair.
9:32 am
Atalante

you're still lucky youhave choice
9:32 am

well so do you :)
9:32 am

we're none of us living in oppressive regimes
9:32 am

not really. you pretty much take what you've given here
9:32 am
hurshy

in a way that'd be easier!
9:32 am
Atalante

if you're lucky there might be a protestant and a catholic church
9:33 am
hurshy

for me it is more complex in that my uncle pastors a small church near here, of which half the congregation is my family.
9:34 am
hurshy

that would be nice in some ways, but then, if you're having a really hard problem, you don't necessarily want to talk to your uncle about it... in some ways you don't feel like you can be as open, in general
9:34 am
Atalante

you dont want to go there then
9:35 am
Dorens

morning... not to barge in here, but hurshy could he recommend a colleague - presumably he'd understand that you need to talk to someone outside the family sometimes?

9:38 am
Atalante

at least you didn't have to put up with a mad alcoholic vicar who eventually got defrocked cos he was too mad
9:38 am
hurshy

for me, it's also that i grew up going to church and having it make me miserable. i was very confused because i knew that i loved God but i didn't understand why i didn't like church. and i dreaded sundays. and then for awhile at the boarding school it was great, i could just go to chapel, and that was episcopal, and it was so peaceful. and now i'm afraid of going back to dreading sundays again.

not complicated... use excel and it's simple... tedious, but worth it
4:41 pm

BJ's list wouldn't go into excel nicely though, so I used ARBs
4:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

just pastew bj's into excell
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Can you get either of them to take the words you have already and put them in a grid? I have 147 words- a shame to waste them!
4:42 pm
72 Temple Owl

then paste what you have found
4:42 pm
nrkii

you can paste the words you have from babble into excel, right alongside the words from the babanon list
4:42 pm
nrkii

then you just have to go through and shift your found words down every time you see they don't match
4:42 pm
nrkii

that's what takes 15 minutes
4:42 pm

OK, it is di + ga5 (like a greek letter)
6:59 pm

Also, my ma4/6 stopped cleaning for me since I have ag 4/7.Told myself I was ba 6/27 from babbling until after I cleaned the house Usually when de 4/5 husband goes on a ra7/44 about the lack of cleaning I do, it falls on de4/8 ears & I te 4/5 to ignore him. But it's tr 4/5, I do not clean the house enough.But today, nothing could de 5/12 from cleaning and lu 4/5 me to babble. I knew it had to be done. After cleaning,I was immediately lu5/14 to the ga 4/7 of babble and I sat ag 5/16 to see a he 4/6 of words with no list.Felt like a do 4/6 not being able to finish grid without a list,but I ha6/27ed away at the grid anyway. Well my de4/5 Babble friends that's the end of my story of clues. Hope you were able to find a he4/6 words from this.Now off to watch the Globes

10:14 pm

normally you would go to lickety's clues
10:15 pm

There's a list. Go to Babbler's Anonymous link below the grid.
10:15 pm
pippingeek

but today it is not there, so the stats are posted on babblers anonymous
10:15 pm

weird, never seen that one before - did you find it unclued?

Sue_777

Thank you
10:16 pm
gremlinn

I was trying haem- stuff since there are plenty (like haemoid), but the only way to go from there would be haema- which is a dead end
10:17 pm
pippingeek

sometimes just knowing whre to look is all you need
10:17 pm
gremlinn

yeah
10:17 pm
Mudd

I'm not finding the he 8 and 6 at the end of the he list
10:18 pm
pippingeek

that's why i get so dependent on lickety, because it automatically puts my words in order so i know what to look at (and what not to)
10:18 pm
pippingeek

did you find the 2nd to last he6?
10:18 pm
gremlinn

for the Ds I have: 4, 4, 4, 5, 8, 4, 4, 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 5,5 , 8, 4, 4 - which one am I missing?
10:19 pm
gremlinn

yeah, knowing just where it fits in alpha order is a big help - but I'm trying to not use lickety anymore
10:19 pm
pippingeek

there's a 7 after the last 8

10:29 pm
pippingeek

okay grem - looks like one of the m's you're missing is a 5 - alternate spelling of the initial ma6
10:30 pm
gremlinn

can you see which P I am missing?
10:30 pm
pippingeek

it's either an ancient religion or a praiseful song
10:30 pm
pippingeek

for the p's i mean
10:30 pm
gremlinn

thanks, got the P
10:31 pm
bethn

hi BR how are you?
10:31 pm
gremlinn

the ma6 you are referring to means "imperfect", or am I missing another ma6 as well?
10:31 pm
pippingeek

congrats, bethn!
10:32 pm
pippingeek

the initial ma6 is also greek - mad woman
10:32 pm
BabbleRabble

Doing fine, bethn, thanks for asking hope you are too
10:32 pm
gremlinn

got it!
10:32 pm
gremlinn

just knowing it's greek, it must have those weird vowel combos, heh
10:32 pm
gremlinn

fireworks! tyvm, pippin
10:32 pm
pippingeek

congrats!
10:32 pm
bethn

yup, just waiting for spring, enough with the snow and ice etc.
10:33 pm
pippingeek

you're normally a speed demon
10:33 pm
gremlinn

haha, 4 of the ones I was missing were Greek, plus I was stuck on my last one as "satyr" a few days ago
10:33 pm
BabbleRabble

yeah, sure glad I wasted my time finding the missing m's for upi
10:33 pm
gremlinn

I was trying to do this one without even viewing the chat, but couldn't quite finish it off despite getting most of the hard ones
10:34 pm
bethn

I am off to bed to read for a bit. See you all in the grid tomorrow
10:35 pm
BabbleRabble

be well, bethn

10:36 pm
jillibus

hello, she said glumly
10:36 pm
gremlinn

and yesterday it was "coteau" - it's either the Greek ones or the ones with uncommon vowel combinations (often both together)
10:36 pm
pippingeek

hey jilli
10:36 pm
pippingeek

that one i had to look up too
10:36 pm
pippingeek

i'm new enough that i still use a2z, but with increasing guilt every day
10:37 pm
jillibus

gremlin, if you had loved in Quebec you would have recognised the town of Coteau du Lac
10:37 pm
gremlinn

oh, I knew the word
10:37 pm
pippingeek

what if you haven't loved in quebec but have liked there?
10:37 pm
gremlinn

but yeah, maybe if it were in my head more often
10:37 pm
jillibus

pippin, don't feel guilty -- I prefer morewords, meself, lol
10:37 pm
gremlinn

a2z is like morewords.com?
10:38 pm
jillibus

I mean lived (but loved will do) ;)
10:38 pm
pippingeek

i haven't ever looked at morewords, is it easier to use?
10:38 pm
jillibus

I find morewords easier to use.
10:38 pm
pippingeek

a2z is just a straight list of every work, organized by number of letters
10:38 pm
gremlinn

I'll check it out
10:38 pm
pippingeek

word, not work
10:39 pm
pippingeek

it's where i go when i get stuck, just give myself an alpha parameter and start scanning
10:39 pm
BabbleRabble

Have you finished, Pini?
10:39 pm
jillibus

I've seen a2z
10:39 pm
Pinikula

sadly, no :(
10:39 pm
jillibus

anyway, I have 27 to go and can't be bothered
10:39 pm
BabbleRabble

How many?
10:40 pm
Pinikula

68 more to go
10:40 pm
pippingeek

want clues or just worn out by it?
10:40 pm
gremlinn

well, this one might be the toughest board since I came here (over a week ago)
10:40 pm
BabbleRabble

68 is a piece of cake if you stop lollygagging around
10:40 pm
jillibus

oh, I might ask for a few clues and then go back to morewords
10:41 pm
Pinikula

I'm open to clues...not sure what I need; haven't listed
10:41 pm
Pinikula

oh you, shush! * giggle *
10:41 pm
BabbleRabble

hehehehe
10:42 pm
pippingeek

the lack of s is really a kicker
10:42 pm
jillibus

see, I just went to morewords and entered ia-- in "search" and wow, only one word came up!
10:42 pm
BabbleRabble

the only difficult ones were the ones I couldn't find
10:42 pm
Pinikula

ya think, BR?? LOL
10:43 pm
jillibus

babrab is full of pearls of wisdom :)
10:43 pm
pippingeek

so gremlinn do you still get tile stats on the board, or did you go pro?
10:43 pm
Pinikula

and then some! :)
10:43 pm
BabbleRabble

but then, they were a lot easier to find once I found them
10:43 pm
gremlinn

I didn't go pro - it hides tile stats?
10:43 pm
Pinikula

* rolling eyes *
10:43 pm
pippingeek

after 2 weeks they go away unless you go pro
10:44 pm
gremlinn

oh, okay
10:44 pm
Pinikula

once you've been here 2 weeks, gremlin, the tile stats go away unless you go pro
10:44 pm
jillibus

pippin, yoou can see that gremlin didn't go pro -- no icon, no flag, etc.
10:44 pm
Pinikula

oops ... sorry
10:44 pm
gremlinn

I guess I'll have to improve a bit, somewhat soon
10:44 pm
pippingeek

it's a 1-time fee, totally worth it imo
10:44 pm
gremlinn

or I could use lickety again
10:44 pm
Pinikula

* oops * distracted for a nanosec * diving back into grid *
10:44 pm
gremlinn

maybe
10:45 pm
BabbleRabble

If I am looking for s words I always start with words that start with s
10:45 pm

ah, there you are, gremlinn!!! Now all you need is an icon :)
10:50 pm
gremlinn

thanks, just need a picture now, I guess
10:50 pm
pippingeek

if you want to totally dork out like me you can do a picture that follows the icon theme of the day
10:51 pm
gremlinn

I'm always saying what someone's just told me, moments too late!
10:51 pm

what's the optimal size for icons (or does it auto-resize them?)
10:53 pm
pippingeek

i have no idea, grem
10:53 pm
gremlinn

I guess I'll just try one
10:53 pm
BabbleRabble

it will resize most
10:53 pm
pippingeek

but that reminds me, i have to get my pet photo ready for the flip!
10:54 pm

10:55 pm

gremlin, there is no auto-resizing, so plz don't use huge images -- it makes the chog all jerky
10:55 pm
gremlinn

I'm checking only 32 x 32
10:56 pm
gremlinn

how's this?
10:56 pm

"

Any size image will do because Babble will resize the image for you, but sometimes large pictures look like goo when you shrink them down. Luckily there are tons of sites that offer free buddy icons for you to choose from"
10:56 pm
gremlinn

I just used Google Image search with explicit 32x32 restriction, found a few
10:57 pm

gremlin, that's too teeny-tiny
10:57 pm
Pinikula

it's itty bitty, gremlinn
10:57 pm
pippingeek

click on someone's profile to get a sens of a normal icon size. the chog shrinks it
10:58 pm
gremlinn

okay, hold on a moment
10:58 pm
jillibus

babrab, Babble will not resize huge images.

11:03 pm

the am7 is an instrument for measuring current in amperes.
11:04 pm
jillibus

stid -- you take on too much -- 12 hours judging!
11:04 pm

so does that mean fireworks for you?
11:04 pm

11:04 pm

past tense verbal assault by emeril
11:05 pm

it wasn't solid judging jill -- the hard part is the waiting around between judging times. I only had three rounds.
11:05 pm

am7 can also have a P inserted after "am" and mean the same thing, I think
11:05 pm

I had a cat once that fell between a chair and the couch. Only 10 inches apart. That's dumb!

oops, wrong word. too tired to bother looking at my list anymore. this is why i should be asleep, yet i am powerless to resist the flip!\
11:43 pm
jillibus

that's a good one, gremlinn -- too bad this isn't a Friday, which is the day we post icons which are clues to words in the grid. Yours would be perfect!
11:44 pm
gremlinn

haha, glad you noticed it
11:44 pm
jillibus

couldn't miss it! Is that the one you use in FB?
11:45 pm
gremlinn

no, that was for a pet icon
11:45 pm

11:45 pm

I switched to a puppy pic after someone said my real photo was too scary looking
11:45 pm
pippingeek

hahahahaha. i mean, that's mean, but funny
11:46 pm
jillibus

LOL!
11:46 pm
pippingeek

i'm assuming the scary was the photo, not what you actually look like, of course
11:46 pm
gremlinn

yeah, I think they meant "intimidating"
11:47 pm
gremlinn

it wasn't someone I knew, it was in a word game app sort of like this
11:48 pm

hootowl has the right idea, a drink sounds nice, but then i will have a hangover tomorrow. curse my lightweight lack of tolerance!

pippingeek

you lucky cuss. assuming you like whisky, which actually i don't. the bartender at my work today made me a "tropical dew". i drink girly drinks
11:52 pm
hootowl

Well I'm allergic to rye, gin and sensitive to brandy...so I avoid the fancy girlie stuff. Biggest regret was not being able to drink Bailey's.
11:54 pm
jillibus

I have 21 left, all Ms, Rs and Ts. Phooey.
11:54 pm
hootowl

Actually - you may be allergic too. I used to get the dammest hangovers til I realised it was allergies.
11:54 pm
pippingeek

i can't stand gin or whisky or martinis so i'm left with few options
11:54 pm
jillibus

Please, Lickety, come back!
11:54 pm
pippingeek

i think it's likely the amount of sugar in what i drink
11:55 pm
hootowl

jilli you haven't been trying. We're here. You should have asked for help.
11:55 pm
pippingeek

and i assume allergies would affect me with food too, but i don't have any issues there
11:56 pm
pippingeek

we heart you lickety!
11:56 pm
hootowl

he'll be back. And everyone will be so grateful and fawning. If he doesn't want to do it he should give it to someone else
11:57 pm
hootowl

I always used BJ's list when it was here. And I used it today.
11:57 pm
jillibus

Hoot, he's been doing it faithfully every day right after the flip. Today is an exception.
11:57 pm
pippingeek

so, do i snack on ahi tuna or cilantro-dill hummus?
11:58 pm
dart001

hi jilli all
11:58 pm
jillibus

I've been using BJ's list and am very grateful for it -- it just takes a lot longer than Lickety's and I didn't have time today.
11:58 pm
gremlinn

hi dart
11:58 pm
dart001

hey grem
11:58 pm
hootowl

either sounds great except for cilantro. Tastes like dirt to me.
11:58 pm
pippingeek

it's pretty well drowned out by the garlic and lime juice
11:58 pm
jillibus

Besides, I just get fed up with grids full of unwords
11:59 pm

hi all -- I see for awhile there the chat was about one of my favourtie libations -- although I prefer single malts.
11:59 pm

Jilli he has been doing this on weekends regularly.
11:59 pm
