I never thought I'd find a browser I liked better. Till Chrome came along
3:43 am
gremlinn

What does Chrome do better?
3:43 am
lynxxx

Crossy was talking bout that recently
3:44 am
Atalante

speed mainly. it's very intuitive to search - you just shove your search into the url bar. but it's so so fast
3:44 am
joshuavorbis

it's faster and it uses less of your computer's resources than ff
3:45 am
gremlinn

With my new computer, I don't have to worry about resources anymore, heh - was quite a relief
3:46 am
joshuavorbis

i notice a difference on a big imac
3:46 am
Atalante

i notice a big difference on my laptop, and that's not exactly short on resources
3:47 am
gremlinn

I'm all for Chrome if it gives people one more way to give up IE.
3:47 am
joshuavorbis

chrome works well on almost all the sites i visit, but not all
3:47 am
joshuavorbis

i definitely use chrome for babble
3:47 am
Atalante

do try chrome. it also seems more stable. I've never had it crash. yet. lol
3:48 am
gremlinn

I think I tried it one time, but I am happy with FF for now.
3:48 am
lawyer-1

Have you tried Opera 10.50?
3:49 am
gremlinn

There's also this browser I heard about called Flock which is based off Firefox (and they try to keep things parallel to it) which has social network integration focus.
3:50 am
Atalante

I think I only ever use Opera when I'm testing websites ...
3:50 am
joshuavorbis

one of the things that will hopefully always be great about firefox is open source
3:50 am
Atalante

Flock isn't very stable, in my experience
3:50 am
gremlinn

I have tried the latest Opera, I think.
3:50 am
gremlinn

Never tried Flock, just heard about it recently.
3:50 am
lawyer-1

10.50 is quite new and fast
3:51 am
Atalante

flock is a great idea, not so great in actuality
3:51 am
gremlinn

I don't care about speed and stability and usability. All I care about is...perfect standards compliance!!!
3:52 am
jillibus

Interesting about Flock -- my grand-cousin was working for them for a while but left -- don't know why. I've never tried it.

4:09 am

hi ata, how are you feeling today?
4:10 am
Atalante

bit better. another very quiet day ahead :)
4:11 am
Haz1558

Aren't you going to visit your mother for MOther's Day?
4:11 am
Atalante

I'm not very good at quiet ...
4:11 am
Atalante

no. she's miles away!
4:11 am
Atalante

I did send her a card and present though
4:11 am
rubyfoo

Mothers' Day is in May in US; is it today in UK or if only you're an Irish other
4:11 am
Haz1558

Love knows no distance....
4:12 am
lynxxx

wow, thats a guilt trip and a half Haz
4:12 am
rubyfoo

*mother
4:12 am
Haz1558

Whoever wrote that was clearly a fool.
4:12 am
Atalante

it doesn't. which is why Royal Mail is closing the distance for me
4:12 am
Haz1558

It's Mother's Day in UK and I assume Ireland as well.
4:13 am
Atalante

and I will of course phone her
4:13 am
rubyfoo

I don't know about here, my only *children* here are Ruby and Max and they don't say much
4:13 am
Haz1558

One daughter was being very complimentary to me when she wrote on my card that I'm a very good sp7/32. (She was listing my virtues)
4:13 am
Atalante

but its not like I don't speak to her most days anyway!
4:14 am
Atalante

looool. did she comment on you're grammer too?
4:14 am
rubyfoo

lol, haz
4:14 am
Haz1558

Indeed she did. My grammar was praised as well.
4:15 am
Atalante

phew
4:15 am
Haz1558

She knows what's important.
4:16 am
Atalante

which daughter got the brownie points for those?
4:16 am
Haz1558

The younger one. The older one commended me for being right more often that not. I've raised those girls well.
4:16 am
Atalante

they both did well then!
4:17 am
Haz1558

They're both in my good books for the day.
4:18 am
Atalante

might you feed them more than gruel for the day?
4:18 am
Haz1558

Yes, younger one is away, of course, the older one will get at least one potato.
4:19 am
Atalante

goodness. she will think herself honoured. the other one will have to make do with a virtual potato
4:20 am
Haz1558

I know - do you know you can buy tinned potatoes? Who ever thought of such a travesty?
4:20 am
Atalante

tescos
4:20 am
Atalante

not as bad as the dreaded whole-chicken-in-a-can
4:20 am
lynxxx

the person who thought of tinned asparagus of course
4:20 am
rubyfoo

that's a horrible idea! how hard can it be to peel a potato and imagine how much salt they add
4:21 am
Haz1558

It's fascinating to me that you can buy tinned fried onions. Or frozen breakfast on a plate.
4:21 am
rubyfoo

growing up, I only had tinned asparagus and hated them!
4:21 am
lynxxx

...as for tinned pumpkin
4:22 am
Haz1558

Big tins?
4:23 am
rubyfoo

no no, wait, Libby's brand tinned pumpkin is the best way to make pumpkin pie! I've never been able to succeed with fresh.
4:23 am
rubyfoo

the texture is perfect!
4:23 am
rubyfoo

the ones with tinned are superb. My friends send it from the US!
4:24 am
lynxxx

I just don't understand, pumpkin cooks in flash.
4:24 am
rubyfoo

yes, but the fresh kind is to watery to make a good flan-type filling that rises in the oven in my French pastry tart
4:24 am
rubyfoo

it depends whether you're eating it as a veg or as pie!
4:25 am
Atalante

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVOmWiA
7hVo - whole chicken in a can. it's horrid!
4:25 am
rubyfoo

next Thanksgiving, Lynxx, come to Frnce and I'll show you!
4:25 am
rubyfoo

big can!
4:25 am
Haz1558

Worse than tinned pumpkin, Ata?
4:25 am
Atalante

watch and see .......... *ominous noises*
4:25 am
lynxxx

I don't think I can look at that Ata, really
4:26 am
Atalante

it's just - horrid!
4:27 am
Haz1558

Come on, lynxxx, you're Australian! You're brave and ready for anything!
4:27 am
rubyfoo

I love this grid!
4:27 am
lynxxx

Wouldn't roasting then mashing give you the right texture Ruby?
4:27 am
Atalante

good point, Haz :P
4:27 am
Atalante

it's only 48 seconds long!
4:27 am
Kazzer99

Morning all - on the chicken thing - whne i was very poor - a long time ago the local childrens charity gave out christmas boxes that had xmas dinner in tins with a toy - i had chicken in tin - turned it into soup
4:28 am
rubyfoo

maybe, but when you make the pie, it is very easy to just beat in eggs and sugar and condensed milk and it's always perfect
4:28 am
Haz1558

Goodness, Kazzer, you're a recipient of chicken in a can? You've survived, that says something.
4:28 am
rubyfoo

the grid or the pumpkin pie prep? lol
4:28 am
Kazzer99

not been around much - have new morning routine - have to be out of the house by 0610 and dont get home till 1930
4:29 am
Kazzer99

haz yes i did - it smelt disgusting
4:29 am
lynxxx

hi Kazz
4:29 am
Atalante

was that a superior English chicken in a can though?
4:29 am
Kazzer99

i can still remember it 34 years later
4:29 am
Haz1558

That's a demanding schedule, Kazzer, no wonder babble has taken a back seat.
4:29 am
Kazzer99

i dont think so ata
4:29 am
lynxxx

TY Ata, I didn't really need to see raw chook in a can!
4:30 am
Atalante

I have to say that I've eaten pretty disgusting foods around the world, but I'd never actually gagged just looking at something until I opened a chicken-in-a-can
4:30 am
Atalante

it's cooked, lyn, not raw!
4:30 am
Haz1558

Why, is the chicken on the video an inferior foreign one?
4:30 am
Trifioso

hello babble friends. insomnia again -- ugh. on the plus side, it does mean I get to visit with you fine UK/aussie babblers!
4:30 am
Haz1558

Well, there's an encouragement to view a video - it made Ata puke.
4:30 am
rubyfoo

chook is a word I've only learned since I've been playing scrabble and babble with people from Australia. I love the word, but is it acceptible in either game?
4:30 am
Kazzer99

morning trif
4:31 am
Haz1558

Hello Trif!
4:31 am
rubyfoo

hello trif. But what about us Frenchies???
4:31 am
Haz1558

No, chook isn't acknowledged by enable.
4:31 am
Trifioso

bonjour francaise!
4:31 am
Atalante

the vid is from the US, I think
4:31 am
Kazzer99

we only eat chickie from the farm shop now - they run around in the field at the back - very nice
4:31 am
lynxxx

oh my god - it is cooked (mictrowaved I suppose!) blech
4:31 am
rubyfoo

merci trif!
4:31 am
Haz1558

Ah!
4:31 am
Atalante

wasn't the video!! it was the Real THing.
4:31 am
Haz1558

We shall say no more....
4:32 am
Kazzer99

mine came in thick globby jelly
4:32 am
Haz1558

So the video is okay? The real thing is the killer?
4:32 am
lynxxx

hi Trif
4:32 am
Atalante

yep ... it's quite .... fowl. hahaha.
4:33 am
rubyfoo

kaz: it probably made a great soup!
4:33 am
Atalante

the video doesn't come with surround smell
4:33 am
Trifioso

have come late to this convo, but I must say, chicken in a can sounds gross.
4:33 am
Haz1558

Kazzer, if you could find out who manufactured/distributed the chicken, I'd say you could sue. The mental distress has obviously been enormous.
4:33 am
Trifioso

can't say it's worse than haggis, though
4:33 am
rubyfoo

why don't they allow eel as a verb?
4:33 am
Kazzer99

it did actually - i washed it off first and just ckucked in the rest of the tinned stuff - apart from the cream and the xmas pud of course
4:34 am
Haz1558

Haggis is an acquired taste, I'll grant you, but does it cause nightmares and uncalled for nausea?
4:34 am
Haz1558

Because eel isn't a verb?
4:34 am
Trifioso

um, yes, haz, it does.
4:34 am
Atalante

and - LOL - when I decided that I couldn't face looking at the chicken-in-a-can any more, I offered some to Hobbit. She ran away.
4:35 am
Kazzer99

I love haggis - we have it every burns day and i usually put a few in the freezer for later in the year
4:35 am
rubyfoo

I've never had the opportunity to eat haggis but I think it must be like something the locals call "petit paquet", entrails wrapped in entrails, instant sick!
4:35 am
rubyfoo

but whet about the eel fisherman, eelers?
4:35 am
Haz1558

Haggis is okay, I can eat it in small quantities. Don't forget that it's probably a big treat for people raised on porridge.
4:36 am
Kazzer99

no - its all minced up with oats and seasoning. if you like liver you would probably like haggis and you can get it in synthetic casings
4:36 am
Haz1558

Yes, but they don't eel for eels, they fish for eels.
4:36 am
Atalante

but you can be eelier
4:36 am
Haz1558

Haggis was only ever cooked in entrails, it's not done like that any more, some plasticky thing instead.
4:37 am
rubyfoo

PL, you win, lol
4:37 am
Kazzer99

now thats dispusting food - eels - they give me the heebie jeebies
4:37 am
Trifioso

a good new england girl, I eat every single thing the sea offers, and happily so. I think if you fed me eel in a fish dish of some kind, and didnt' tell me what it was, I would happily nosh away. However, if you said "oh, ElizaBeth, try the eel!" I am not sure I could get over the psychology of what I was eating....
4:37 am
rubyfoo

*OK*
4:37 am
Atalante

eel is really really tasty
4:37 am
Haz1558

Lough Neagh, near here, is famous for its eels.
4:37 am
rubyfoo

I think Italian food (eels in green jelly) and sushi got me over the "eel thing"
4:38 am
Kazzer99

no i would even eat chicken in a tin over eels
4:38 am
redturtlehead

Hi all...eel is part of the dinner of seven fishes at Christmas. It's pretty tasty in soup. But then again I wont eat liver.
4:38 am
rubyfoo

grilled with a little miso sauce (and a lot of sake) might change your mind
4:38 am
Haz1558

Hello red.
4:38 am
Atalante

river eels are yummy. sea eels aren't so yummy, but they still taste ok
4:38 am
rubyfoo

hi red
4:38 am
lynxxx

morning Red
4:38 am
Atalante

eel sushi is gorgeous
4:39 am
redturtlehead

just "enjoying being up for Daylight savings time and work.....
4:39 am
rubyfoo

sake on the side, not on the eel
4:39 am
Kazzer99

no way - its not the taste its the concept of eels
4:39 am
Haz1558

You're not presented with a whole eel when you eat eel, just sections.
4:39 am
Atalante

eels are just fishies!
4:39 am
Haz1558

Long, snaky fishies.
4:39 am
Trifioso

again, as long as I was eating in ignorance, all would be fine
4:39 am
Kazzer99

dont care - i can see them wriggling away and thats it
4:39 am
rubyfoo

I just don't like to catch them when I'm salt-water fishing. They are large, rown, nasty and have big teeth!
4:39 am
Haz1558

(Ata, do you suppose lots of babblers are heaving at the minute?)
4:39 am

4:40 am

this is a great breakfast conversation!
4:40 am

I love eating marine eels. Revenge for the twice the buggers have bitten me
4:40 am
Haz1558

Random fact, this dog <---------- is making a sound like a pneumatic drill at the minute.
4:40 am
redturtlehead

nah, I'm just drinking down coffee....had breakfast earlier with the chickie in a can mess...
4:40 am
lynxxx

did you all read The Tin Drum?
4:40 am
Kazzer99

funnily enough when i was younger i had no problems eating conger eels and i think i could now as they are usually served as cutlets
4:40 am
Haz1558

I should really ring a vet to see if there's anything wrong - hold the receiver so they can hear...
4:41 am
Atalante

awwwwww! snoozy spangle
4:41 am
rubyfoo

yes, that's how I learned to NOT catch them in rivers!
4:41 am
Atalante

only if it's been going on for at least 3 days, Haz
4:41 am
Haz1558

It's been 3 minutes. You think I should wait?
4:41 am
Atalante

another minute or so
4:42 am
Trifioso

my poor stepmom was swimming in the chesapeake bay one summer, in about chest de4 water, when she saw something floating in the water...she went over to see what it was, and it was a barrel of bait eels that had fallen off a boat. When she turned the barrel to see, all the eels came swimming out and went all through her legs, under her arms, etc. to this day, I cannot understand HOW she did not have a cardiac arrest on the spot. talk of curiosity killing the cat!
4:42 am
redturtlehead

youcould rush her off to the emergency vet....
4:42 am
lynxxx

Eeeeewwwwwwwwwww
4:42 am
Haz1558

We are the emergency vet....
4:42 am
redturtlehead

Trif, I am surprised she didnt either, ick.
4:42 am
Atalante

just don't take her to that mean vet that threatened to put her down
4:43 am
rubyfoo

that's horrible; I don't think I could survive that!
4:43 am
Haz1558

No, we'll steer clear of him.
4:43 am
Trifioso

red! you can't sleep either huh?
4:43 am
redturtlehead

well, Haz, in that case. shes already there. no need to rush.
4:43 am
rubyfoo

dreams of eels!
4:43 am
redturtlehead

No, I am about to go to work Trif.
4:44 am
rubyfoo

is the noise respiratory?
4:44 am
Kazzer99

i am off now to do some of the things i no longer have time for in the week, i will try to come back later - only 91 left to get. As an aside I did walk 12 miles yesterday!

wow Kzz - you need today off! bye
4:44 am
Trifioso

12 miles! wow, I bow to Kazzer!
4:45 am
Atalante

I'd be worried. But not worried enough until the emergenecy vet is either happily asleep or busy eating dinner
4:45 am
rubyfoo

did she swallow something and it's stuck? hairball?
4:45 am
Haz1558

12 miles, and all on one chicken in a can!
4:45 am
Kazzer99

my sis's little dog used to get furball things in his throat and make noises like that just before he was sick
4:45 am
Haz1558

ruby, don't worry, she's just happily asleep. Happily and noisily asleep.
4:45 am

or was it 12 miles to get away from the chook in the can?

Good for you, Doren. I need to get some for the remaining mice residents. I also figured out their entry point from garage to basement and must block that off.

4:24 pm
Atalante

Hi Katie
4:34 pm
dcseain

hm. that ast5s me, but dolling up is easy.
4:35 pm
KatieMcG

hmmmmm I can see why they would want to keep the majority of people in the club gay but isn't it difficult to decide who looks 'too straight'?
4:35 pm
dcseain

some fun eye makeup could do well with that.
4:36 pm
dcseain

yeah, that's kinda where i was katie.
4:36 pm

you're right, Katie...I don't know how they do it. I think it's just something to do with general outrageousness. which is strange, because you wouldn't expect such a strange stereotype from a gay establishment.

I had a similar event in my MBA (first class on Ethics) where I argued that speaking in class about anything, just for the sake of hearing whether one can find articles to support a lesson or topic of interest, is not a good judge of a person's caliber. The "required speaking or relating of news articles" was not in the syllabus, and she used these as part of the grade. I told her in front of the class, "I come by my brown nose naturally", and if we didn't have "ethic" in our bones by then, her class wouldn't matter....

Here is my story of clues to te 4/4 today.I do not te 4/5 to be a lurker, however,when I en5/10ed Babble today, I was a qu 5/16 lurker. I dove de 4/6 into the grid today. I sp4/5 through the 1st 140 words.I was re6/18less to finish the grid.But my monkeys put me through he 4/5 today because they would not le 4/5 me a hand & I could not depe4/6 on them.They went haywire and I could not get them un 5/14 ontrol.So I prayed to the Lo 4/5 to help, but that did not help lo 4/4 either. So I re 6/21 on clues from chog. So now I consider this grid nu 4/5 and void. This grid gave me a head ac4/6.My head ac 5/16 long after I quit grid. After 158 words and 1986 points, I still didn't make a de 4/5 in graying any tiles.After I quit,I went to the de 4/5 to get some lunch.Then I just sp 4/5 the rest of the day hanging out ar 6/24 the house & watched tv. I would like to end this story by telling you that I st5/10 a list from gremlinn & put it in my profile.Well it is that ho4/6 when I have to pe4/5 my eyes of the computer and take my shower. Th 4/5 I am going to go get under my bed sh5/12s and nice warm qu 5/16.
