VolleymomDee
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
quite true
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
Atalante
marijuana can be legalised without it being legal to drive under the influence
3:39 am
VolleymomDee

Aloyisius
.. back.. I hear you .. we know so many who have lost jobs that way, the rug has been pulled out from under them
5:21 am
oodleberry
then they give me a reason that we are following the philosophy of the founders... what to take away any pride that people have and giving it to someone else?
5:21 am
Aloyisius
enjoying this grid so far, just found am5.16, enjoyed watching them ooze around under the microscope, so I did an "am5.16 dance"

oodleberry
speaking of which I even run onions i have under cold water and my eyes still tear
5:37 am
Aloyisius
have been thinking of a way to rate grids.. 1 being the easiest, working on parameters.. if you can find all the words without the clue list or a word list, that is a 1
5:38 am
oodleberry
and or you don't have a brain?
5:38 am
Aloyisius
well, if you can't find any words, lol..
5:39 am

5:39 am
Aloyisius
right, lynxxx, I forgot about chat.. must add that
5:39 am
oodleberry
hi ya lyn
5:40 am

6:10 am
Aloyisius
not quite that bad, Mich.. brand name ones. I really like freshly made..
6:10 am
Michnick

6:11 am
Aloyisius
what is your favorite smear for a bagel, Mich?
6:11 am
Michnick
I've always wanted to make my own bagels but I never have enough hours for such a big project.
6:11 am
Michnick
I like cream cheese with scallions with slices of onion, tomato & lox.
6:11 am
Aloyisius

Good, Red! I see your still frantically cleaning?
6:25 am

clean is over rated
6:26 am

it prevents you from building up natural immunities

going to publish my theory very soon
6:26 am

Feel free to use my house as an exhibit, Jean!
6:27 am

6:40 am

6:40 am
rubyfoo
I think so
6:40 am

well first time we saw it here.. cause the last 5 years IT RAINED
6:40 am
rubyfoo
it was beautiful, but it didn't stick!
6:41 am
Aloyisius
we came in to Miami from a cruise then, and it was so cold that we didn't even go through customs, they just waved us all through
6:41 am
rubyfoo
in france, our oranges come from Italy and No. Africa
6:41 am
Aloyisius

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
ibergo
207 words. 189 left. Don't think I have the patience!
6:44 am
rubyfoo
last night, because it got warmer and rained, snow came off the roof and decimated my azaleas and little maples
6:44 am
Aloyisius

No. I found 19 words now. On my own :-)

6:51 am
rubyfoo
I'm better at cleaning the house, red......
6:52 am
redturtlehead
Oh gosh I wish I was. I shampooed the carpet, and because the humidity is up, I am suspicious that the house now smells like wet doggie. :(
6:52 am
rubyfoo

6:54 am
redturtlehead
The goodish news is that I am picking Mom up at the airport, we are immediately going to a "spa" for 3 days in St Aug, and then coming to the house only for one overnight.
6:54 am
rubyfoo
very pervasive! and if you touch the pups, then your hands smell too. All I do is wash my hands and go into another room
6:54 am
rubyfoo
spa sounds wonderful!
6:54 am

Oooh rh**, the flightless bird is in the grid...
6:55 am

6:57 am
redturtlehead

7:16 am
Aloyisius
hi Sprite! .. back from b'fast.. Soodle, I heard that Arb posted a list in Babanon and I am almost to the point of checking it out
7:17 am
Soodlebum
Thanks Aloy. But, I think I will struggle on for another while....
7:19 am

hi Aloy! Terra says hi. He is sorry to see the snow melt, but now he jumps around in all the water as if it isn't ice cold.
7:20 am

Hi Sprite!! Hi Te***!
7:20 am
Aloyisius

7:20 am

a little under the knee. Will post new pics soon, got them on this computer now and all I have to do is upload them to Flickr
7:22 am
Aloyisius
so, how old is he?
7:22 am
sprite
almost a year now. Will be exactly a year on Feb 2.
7:23 am
Aloyisius
a birthday on Groundhog's Day! Are you still giving him the glucosamine chondoitin?
7:24 am
sprite
yes, he has food now that contains it. He does wonderfully on it. No pain anymore, he is happy and jumpy and playful.
7:24 am
Aloyisius
hi jmc.. and happy news, sprite, I'm so glad
7:25 am
sprite
thanks Aloy, so are we! It is the best to see him so happy and healthy. He is my little sun, every day.
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.
7:31 am
bojazz
morning Babblers - bright sunshine this a.m.
7:32 am
Aloyisius
howdy bojazz! very cloudy here, but we would welcome some rain
7:32 am
jmcnrick
you can have my clouds and rain
7:33 am
bojazz
had light rain all night - warmer today
7:33 am
bojazz
sprite - in the char log your icon is a baby. in your profile it is Goth???
7:34 am
bojazz

7:34 am
jmcnrick
refresh bo -- sometimes that will help
7:34 am
bojazz
??? not car either
7:35 am
jmcnrick
*giggle* take the mittens off bo
7:35 am
bojazz
that did it?? but lickety won't refresh or clear or anything
7:36 am
jmcnrick
close the lickety window entirely
7:36 am
jmcnrick
if that doesn't do it you can either clear out your cache or reboot the computer
7:36 am
lynxxx
Don't think Lickety is there today, list on BabAnon
7:37 am
sprite
sorry, was afk for a bit. Hi bojazz!
7:37 am
jmcnrick
or find out there is no lickety! lol
7:37 am
sprite
there is no Lickety list, don't worry about your computer, grin.
7:38 am
sprite
ok, now I HAVE to install mailwasher. All this spam is driving me crazy.
7:39 am
jmcnrick
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
jmcnrick
no it is more like the austin healy -- very cool but a bit out of date
7:42 am
sprite
ah, see how out of date I am myself ;)
7:42 am
jmcnrick
in my future is a droid!
7:42 am
jmcnrick
well it only took a year for it to go from very hot to out of date! lol
7:42 am
sprite
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?
7:43 am
Uneaixoise
i have Norton too and am very pleased
7:43 am
jmcnrick
coffee is done brb
7:45 am
Aloyisius
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
7:45 am
lynxxx
Hmmm..if I knew how to find that out I could tell you Sprite. Their service is excellent too, even if it is from India!
7:45 am
Uneaixoise
yeah, I've heard about it's size from others -- may have slowed things a bit but it does a good job . . .
7:45 am
sprite
I have COMODO and I love it so far.
7:45 am
Uneaixoise
howdy, jmc :-)
7:45 am
jmcnrick
my problem is that since i run a hotline i have to open emails that say "Urgent Please help" even if i suspect they are spam
7:45 am
Uneaixoise
and spritey! :-)
7:46 am
sprite
hey Une! :)
7:46 am
Uneaixoise
aaccckkk, I misused "its" -- the horror!!!
7:46 am
Uneaixoise
look away! look away!
7:46 am
sprite
*giggles* Yeah, that is a baddie, Une.
7:47 am

*lectured
7:49 am
bojazz
handsome dude that Rfa
7:49 am
Uneaixoise
indeed, bojazz! Sigh . . .
7:49 am
sprite
hehehe I like it. I learn things here every day. Either new things, or somebody points out I do something wrong. My english benefits enormously.
7:49 am
jmcnrick
i thought that you could use the bandaid for it
7:50 am
Uneaixoise
jmc, we editors can't help being nutso about usage :-)
7:50 am
jmcnrick
lol it usually makes me smile actually
7:50 am
Uneaixoise
one of the worst in the chog, tho, is "your" and "you're"
7:51 am
Uneaixoise
sets my teeth on edge :-)
7:51 am
jmcnrick
it depends on my mood since i have had a life of my mother the english teacher and my oldest sister the pedantic and my nephew the OCD
7:51 am
bojazz
how about - "where you at?" - drives me nutsoooo
7:51 am
jmcnrick
i hate enthuse
7:51 am
sprite
I edit texts in dutch and english and usually I spot all those. But in english I am still not perfect ;)
7:51 am
jmcnrick
i hate to even type it
7:51 am
Uneaixoise
the general rule of thumb in my family is that if I don't catch the error, my daughter WILL!
7:52 am
Uneaixoise
YES, bojazz!!!
7:52 am
Aloyisius
my sister drives me nutso with "then" and "than" as well as your and you're..
7:52 am
sprite
enthuse was in the grid recently
7:52 am
jmcnrick
i know sprite and I ranted about it
7:52 am
sprite
where and were, also a bad switch
7:52 am
sprite
good job jmc!
7:52 am
Uneaixoise
oh, sprite, that's WAY down the list! LOL
7:52 am
jmcnrick
i tend to type you when i mean your
7:53 am
jmcnrick
that is at the top of my list une
7:53 am
jmcnrick
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
Aloyisius
not to mention affect and effect
7:54 am
Uneaixoise
re loan, yes indeed, jmc!
7:54 am
Uneaixoise
YES, aloy!
7:54 am
jmcnrick
oooh makes me grind my teeth when people think they are being smart by NOT using ME
7:54 am
sprite
*feels very very smug she knows all of those*
7:54 am
Uneaixoise
and it makes me crazy when the person obviously thinks I'm just being "picky"
7:54 am
jmcnrick
i am often guilty with affect and effect so i usually avoid the words
7:54 am
Aloyisius
feels so good to vent (-:
7:55 am
Uneaixoise
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
7:56 am
jmcnrick
i even correct my staff about them because they ne4 to know what is correct if they are representing me and the center
7:56 am
lynxxx
very close Une, very close. Glad you weren't on a ra*****
7:56 am

and pt!
7:57 am
Uneaixoise
later, oodle :-)
7:57 am
jmcnrick
but we all make mistakes in the chog and it is nice to lighten up and giggle about them not lecture
7:57 am
sprite
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 ;)
7:58 am
Uneaixoise
oh but lecturing is sooo satisfying LOLOLOL!
7:58 am
jmcnrick
*giggle*
7:59 am
Aloyisius
my father had a great saying: "I don't talk so good looking, but I do the best I am"
7:59 am
jmcnrick
i will remember that une *pulls out notebook and makes a note*
7:59 am
Uneaixoise
cute, aloy!
7:59 am

love it, Aloy
8:00 am
redturtlehead
hey all, I dislike a lot of grammer things, and have come to realize that the younger set doesn't even know whats remotely correct!
8:00 am
sprite
and no, 'lecturing' isn't fun. But I really appreciate it if people point out my mistakes to me.
8:00 am
redturtlehead
and I just made an error or two in that statement!
8:00 am
Aloyisius
grammar?
8:00 am
sprite
hi red, and I agree. In dutch it is the same.
8:00 am
redturtlehead
see! I said I made some errors!!!
8:01 am
jmcnrick
what my son and staff tell me is that language is living and i am old fashion
8:01 am
Uneaixoise
syllabic emphasis in English is really really really hard
8:01 am
Aloyisius
we almost have "grammar" in the grid.. it could be a phantom
8:01 am
redturtlehead
But, I have a sparkly clean home, so, I can be erroneous!
8:01 am
Uneaixoise
red, we're all very jealous! LOL
8:01 am
jmcnrick
lol! you cleaned more than the hose?
8:01 am
Aloyisius
put me in the jealous column, too
8:01 am
sprite
I think there is a difference between changes in a living languages and incorrect usage or spelling or grammar
8:02 am
Uneaixoise
indeed, sprite!
8:02 am
jmcnrick
not me i still haven't messed up my housekeeper's work this week
8:02 am
Uneaixoise
I've almost given up on the "make a noun a verb" trend -- it's gotten to be so prevalent
8:03 am
jmcnrick
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
Uneaixoise
but it makes me cringe
8:03 am
Aloyisius
whaaaaaaa, I want an "s" in this grid
8:03 am
jmcnrick
but i will NOT let my staff use them in documents at the Center
8:04 am
sprite
so... I hope you will never hesitate to tell me where I am wrong! :)
8:04 am
jmcnrick
i want "farm" in this grid
8:04 am
Uneaixoise
an 's' would be soooo nice . . . sigh
8:04 am
jmcnrick
sprite you are so gracious
8:04 am
sprite
I want the H to be next to the T
8:05 am
sprite
awww thanks *blush* But I am serious!
8:06 am
jmcnrick
*puts on her editor armbands and visor* okay!
8:06 am
jmcnrick
do you think the visor is too much with the foil cap?
8:07 am
Uneaixoise
sounds itchy
8:07 am
sprite
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
Uneaixoise
but quite the fashion statement
8:07 am
bojazz
i'd omit the visor
8:07 am
jmcnrick
well i am used to the foil cap
8:08 am
jmcnrick
i want to look serious *models*
8:08 am
sprite
I suggest wearing some insect horn thingies with that.
8:08 am
hurshy
i like making nouns into verbs, although perhaps not the older words such as jmc mentioned. i like to google things and microwave things...
8:08 am
jmcnrick
deely boppers, sprite?
8:08 am
jmcnrick
ooo i love to google things
8:08 am
jmcnrick
hi hursh
8:09 am
Uneaixoise
our marketing director used to make me nuts, tho, hursh, with "blue sky" and "popcorn" as verbs
8:09 am
yoyo56784
let the games begin
8:09 am
Uneaixoise
love those deely boppers!
8:09 am
jmcnrick
how do you use blue sky as a verb?
8:09 am
hurshy
modern techie words are acceptable, then, that's our rule. :)
8:09 am
jmcnrick
hey yo yo welcome back!
8:09 am
jmcnrick
lol hursh
8:10 am
sprite
oh, google. Now that is a verb I use as well. Microwave isn't, because in dutch we say 'in de magnetron doen'
8:10 am
jmcnrick
*takes off the visor and puts on bright red deely boppers over foil cap*
8:10 am
Uneaixoise
"Let's just blue sky it" -- meaning, let's look at all the options
8:10 am
Uneaixoise
sprite LOL
8:10 am

deely boppers? Nah not me. I am not so think as you dumb that I am.
8:10 am

really how interesting une
8:10 am
jmcnrick
do you run it up the flag pole and see who salutes too?
8:10 am
hurshy
yes, i have heard that certain fields are more prone to bizarre jargon
8:11 am

lord don't get me started on the pacification of language by peaceniks!
8:11 am
JBV
good morning, general jbv reporting from the field of bizarre jargon - educationese!
8:11 am
hurshy
i know a gal who worked somewhere with a lot of jargon. she said that instead of asking you if you had time to take on a certain task, they always asked if you had the bandwidth for it.
8:11 am
Uneaixoise
heard a new adjective this week . . . someone was describing a trendy new local Vietnamese restaurant -- "looks very West Elm" LOL
8:12 am
bojazz
how about advertising & marketing people - got to be the most prolific
8:12 am
Aloyisius
hi JBV and hurshy
8:12 am
Uneaixoise
and I hate "task" as a verb!!
8:12 am
jmcnrick
i have to work with people who refuse to use the te4 "bullets points"!
8:12 am
Uneaixoise
bojazz, definitely!
8:12 am
Uneaixoise
jmc, you're kidding!!! LOL
8:12 am
sprite
and hello yoyo
8:12 am
sprite
Une, as in multitasking?
8:13 am
Uneaixoise
used to work with Methodists who never sang "Onward Christian Soldiers"
8:13 am
jmcnrick
no they call them "peace points" *runs to corner and throws up*
8:13 am
JBV
i'm sure you've heard the talking heads on tv use "demagogue" as a verb - he's been demagoguing on that subject, etc. etc. ugh!
8:13 am
Uneaixoise
no, sprite, as in "he was tasked with bringing the snacks to the coffee break"
8:13 am
Uneaixoise
peace point??!! LOL
8:13 am
jmcnrick
and many of my friends wont sing it either une which just shows their ignorance about the early saints
8:13 am
sprite
ah ok, I see. So 'she is multitasking' would be ok?
8:13 am
JBV
that's ok, jmc, i kind of agree with them, when a word has a negative connotation you have many other options for synonyms
8:14 am
Uneaixoise
but for bullet points???
8:14 am
JBV
(I mean about bullet points, not the song - which of course is historical)
8:14 am
jmcnrick
and the synonyms for bullet points is???
8:14 am
Uneaixoise
yeah, sprite, multitasking is such a commonly accepted word . . .
8:15 am
JBV
umm, thinking, let's get creative here....
8:15 am
jmcnrick
you just made my point jbv
8:15 am
sprite
thanks Une

brainstorming?

unnumbered lists

jmc, the thesaurus has no other word for it LOL
8:16 am
JBV
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
8:16 am
jmcnrick
lol hursh there' a useful te4!
8:16 am
sprite
peace points for bullet points? I am not sure I understand that.
8:17 am
hurshy
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. ????
8:17 am
bojazz
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
sprite
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!!!
8:18 am
sprite
point markers
8:18 am
jmcnrick
bo I kid you not -- people use little hearts in my world
8:18 am
Uneaixoise
how about in Vegas? no more "hit me" in blackjack? LOL
8:18 am
jmcnrick
lol i like that one hursh
8:18 am

pacify me??

JBV
yes that is the main thing, jmc, awareness of the hidden meanings or connotations

8:22 am
sprite
ok, removing animals that say oink oink... not a valid word.
8:22 am
jmcnrick
what did you edit une?
8:23 am
hurshy
well, caps and punctuation don't ALWAYS add something necessary for the meaning.
8:23 am
Uneaixoise
everything from posters to books
8:23 am
jmcnrick
ROLF i would never thought of removing oinking animals at all!!!
8:23 am

8:25 am
Uneaixoise
I think they handled most of the social issues materials
8:25 am
hurshy
take that sentence. though it ought to have punctuation, there's only one interpretation of "very cool the methodists have...."
8:25 am
hurshy
yeah good luck with that ata...
8:25 am
sprite
hey Ata! Check today's theme, please :)
And I just read Dream Hunter... do you think Acheron is Apostolos?
8:25 am
jmcnrick
i get away with punctuation murder here
8:26 am
hurshy
but sometimes the lack of punctuation causes chog chaos, and then i have to explain people to each other.
8:26 am
Uneaixoise
jmc, they wanted to get materials printed here in Nashville (much cheaper) . . . until they discovered there were no union shops

a friend of mine is born and raised on a farm. I once told her enthusiastically about the sheep and lambs I had seen on my ride to her house. She said: 'If they are with their mums, they are for the slaughter.' I actually started crying.

so is my sily
9:29 am
hurshy
we have such church issues ... sigh
9:29 am
Atalante
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
hurshy
well so do you :)
9:32 am
hurshy
we're none of us living in oppressive regimes
9:32 am
Atalante
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?
9:35 am
JesDreher
does anyone have the me 7/48?
9:35 am
hurshy
but we've tried a bunch of other places and ... it's hard. one place has great people but the sermons are interminable.
9:35 am
hurshy
me7 = large pea container?
9:36 am
JesDreher
thanks!
9:36 am
hurshy
i think at this point my husband and i are both so ambivalent about attending any particular place that it's just hard to make ourselves go at all.
9:37 am
Atalante
don't go then lol
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.
9:39 am
Atalante
you don't *have* to go
9:39 am
hurshy
that would be colorful, at any rate, ata :) lol
9:39 am
hurshy
but we *want* to go... sort of...
9:39 am
Atalante
wasn't colourful, it was awful
9:39 am

9:46 am

Kaplan the Magne
My big meltdown made you think I was a man? That's refreshing> You didn't just think- "Oh, hysteria"

Hello, Mom.
9:47 am
Mom

It was Vitameatavegamin Lucy.

I don't know. We've had some contenders for the title. We need impartial judges.

9:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
The biggest EVER? And I'm just a new kid!
9:48 am

Couldn't get the last two words and the clues were just confusing. It was great!
9:48 am
Atalante
I still think Mikey won
9:48 am
welki

9:49 am
Haz1558
MIkey's was epic.
9:49 am
Haz1558
Conducted in two languages.
9:49 am
Atalante

9:49 am
hego
OOoo I like that Lucy.

9:53 am
Atalante
where's hurshy? she normally pipes up at Mikey mentions
9:53 am
Haz1558
I don't think I could trust myself to recount the meltdown. But it was amazing. That's why we queried Kaplan's claim to the biggest meltdown in babble history claim.
9:53 am
Atalante
he's probably plotting with JC as we speak
9:54 am
72 Temple Owl
did not hear kap's, kap wat were you ranting about?
9:54 am
72 Temple Owl
LOLOLOLOL
9:54 am
Kaplan the Magne
I didn't claim the biggest meltdown. SOmeone else attributed it to me. I'm not that narcissistic.
9:54 am
rururocks
I freely admit that more than a few grids have sent me over the dge.
9:54 am
hego
well, it was for me, but I''ve only been here four months.
9:54 am
72 Temple Owl
pardon me b and h are intermittent
9:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
I was freaking out because I had two or three words left and I wasn't getting clues to the ones I needed
9:55 am
Haz1558
Fair enough, Kaplan. This happened easily a couple of years ago. Or more?
9:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
Only four months? Like me?
9:55 am
Atalante
a good while ago
9:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
I have been here since November. Don't age me prematurely.
9:55 am

Yes Kaplan, I came in Sept.

Who has been here for years, and how did you survive?

I love when you first sit down with a grid and you can rattle off 50 or so words.....
10:05 am
hurshy
i have seen mention of de8 but have pathetically failed to locate it
10:06 am
Good Enough
then that stops but now you know the patterns and you dig deeper and get some more....
10:06 am

10:07 am
Kaplan the Magne
di8 is a word from geometry
10:07 am
Shirlockc
di is a circle measurement
10:07 am
Haz1558
me8 adds a vowel to the me7/40 (at the end)
10:07 am
Good Enough
oh ty clues!
10:07 am
hurshy
me7/36... me 7/48... ok, gotta find me7/40
10:08 am

10:08 am
rururocks
oh.. i don't have a me 7/40 yet
10:08 am

10:10 am
JesDreher

10:10 am
hego

10:10 am
Haz1558
he8 builds up in a latin plural kind of way from the he4 (start of the man who wants to be alone)
10:11 am

that's okay Christine, was just wondering if there is a "restore original settings" switch that might have originally been used. To avoid loss of bookmarks and such on my browser I use a service that automatically backs things up to a web storage place... same with the regular files on my computer so I don't lose data.
11:51 am

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

8:19 pm

today, it's a book (I despise the title) called
"Literacy with an Attitude: Educating Working-class Children in their own Best Interest" It sounds so.... stuck up.
8:20 pm
lbdawger
hang in there, Joey!
8:20 pm
stidmama
yep. I was pretty tired! LOL
very glad you have only one more to go. This has been so very hard on you.
8:20 pm
jmcnrick
that is such an elitist title!
8:20 pm
HarryHood
16 left! I wouldn't have started this if I'd seen that lickety was down
8:20 pm
pippingeek
sounds very elitist, yes, like how could they possibly know what's in their own best interest
8:20 pm
jmcnrick
hang in there joey
8:20 pm

the book DOES make some good points (elitist is the word I was searching for, thanks jmc)

8:21 pm
HarryHood
ty lbd :)
8:21 pm

I like my master's program's emphasis on reaching out to people traditionally underserved, I just wish they didn't assume we have (none of us) prior knowledge. I for one know EXACTLY how hard it is to decide between rent and food.

Ah 4/6! With such a big grid and no Lickety today, I de4/6 it neccessary to do a story of clues.I woke up this morning with an ag 6/27 which was to clean my house.Unforunately I don't have a ma4/6 to do it for me.I had a house cleaner who was pa4/6 to clean my house, but then I let her go. 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
