12:39 am

J. C.

I had to open your bio, Jilli. It looks like a giant hand in the thumbnail/icon here!

12:39 am

cybernan

why -- are we clueing right off the bat now?

12:39 am

J. C.

It was rather disconcerting...

12:40 am

rururocks

es9 ... spying

12:40 am

jillibus

I know, JC -- wanted everyone to see how tiny a teiid is

12:40 am

MLFAN17

i think a lot of people decided we dont have to do that ie wait until 2am to do so

12:40 am

J. C.

Thank you, ruru! *MWAH!*

12:40 am

jillibus

Ruru should enjoy the teiid writeup ;)

12:41 am

rururocks

...because I feel like cluing?...

12:41 am

cybernan

we never waited 2 hours, mlf -- just one

12:41 am

dart001

i did jilli...one of my pet words in crappy puzzles

12:41 am

cybernan

guess I will start turning the chat off for the first hour

12:41 am

MLFAN17

2am cyber not two hrs

12:41 am

jillibus

no, for another reason, ruru

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

depends on the night... so I never understand the need for complaining

12:42 am

rururocks

cluing a 9 will never hurt you nan..

12:42 am

MLFAN17

okay i have 155 left i am out poof

12:42 am

Douglas

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is in the grid

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

lickety's list has one extra word

12:44 am

flosey

does anyone know what it is?

12:45 am

jillibus

t

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

I don't... just happen to notice difference in word count

12:45 am

cybernan

just if I prefer to find it on my own, ruru

12:45 am

jillibus

that's often why Lickety doesn't announce

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

aww makes sense jili

12:45 am

dizgrannie

ag 9/66 is in my list???

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

the great part nan is you can just turn off the chat.. we are really blessed with lots of options

12:46 am

cybernan

and that's what I plan on doing from now on

12:46 am

rururocks

you can also put your hands over your ears and go:

12:47 am

rururocks

LALALALALALALALALALALAL

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

12:47 am

12:52 am

joshuavorbis

phant sigloi

12:53 am

rururocks

is sigloi sigmund frueds sister?

12:54 am

J. C.

Oh, one of my favourite things is in this grid!

12:54 am

Douglas

Ok, I've found five words that I thought would belong to the southeast i, but in fact belong to the other i. Am I correct to assume that at least one of the southeast i's is a Babblet?

12:54 am

rururocks

lalalalalallalal...

12:55 am

flosey

nice picture JC

12:55 am

joshuavorbis

yeesh, there's a word very close to my phantom that is a valid word in the grid. i seem to do that every gtime

12:55 am

J. C.

Thank you, flosey.

12:56 am

flosey

Douglas et4/5 is from that lower e

12:56 am

flosey

and the es9 also

12:56 am

jillibus

ruru, are you singing for nan?

12:57 am

rururocks

not really

12:57 am

Douglas

I have the glorious ep9 from that lower e, flosey, looking for one of the southeast i's

12:57 am

jillibus

Why then?

12:57 am

joshuavorbis

little bits of land in the water, douglas

12:57 am

rururocks

treat the chat like a commercial and turn it off instead of complaining.. I understand it when people want to find things. I was just explaining something to mlf

12:58 am

flosey

but only the plural of that word josh

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree ru... exactly my point

12:58 am

joshuavorbis

y i haven't the other one just yet

12:58 am

rururocks

I was going Lalalal because I knew JC's favorite word and didn't want to encourage him any further

12:59 am

J. C.

HAHAHA! Somehow I thought so, ruru. ;)

12:59 am

Douglas

But isn't that a word from the other i, josh?

12:59 am

J. C.

There are even more of it in the grid - plural. :P

12:59 am

joshuavorbis

not if it's plural - is6

12:59 am

rururocks

and it plurals too ...jc.. and just for you

12:59 am

jillibus

Oh! And there it is -- thx ruru!

1:00 am

Douglas

Never mind, josh...those Langerhans thingies

1:00 am

rururocks

I know what you mean jilli seen one pe5 you have seen them all

1:00 am

Douglas

Thanks josh

1:00 am

rururocks

*giggle*

1:00 am

dart001

agree too ruru...funny to me almost everything in chat is a clue...when you call xy 6 or 7...when you say the volcano....when you actually clue something out......don't like it..ignore it..otherwise nobody can say anything related to grid

1:01 am

J. C.

Hmmm. Not so! ;)

1:01 am

jillibus

LOL, ruru! Is that so????? I wonder.

1:01 am

joshuavorbis

personally for me the chat is hidden until i get nbt, and after that clues of any sort don't bother me, unless they are way too obvious right there at the beginning

1:01 am

rururocks

there are a lot of players who are offended by calling out large words to everyone.. I don't get it..

1:01 am

rururocks

this is a cooperative game

1:02 am

jillibus

Hear hear

1:02 am

J. C.

Why be offended? If you don't want to see it, don't look at the 'chog'. :P

1:02 am

rururocks

nods head

1:02 am

dart001

think it is most fun when help doesnt come right away

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

that is the most fun part of the game... otherwise why have a chat at all

1:03 am

joshuavorbis

what do you really expect the chat to be like when the grid is first released

1:03 am

rururocks

sure for you dart.. you are a babble savant

1:04 am

J. C.

For you perhaps, dart - you're one of those who finishes a grid in under half an hour. :P

1:05 am

jillibus

JC, I hadn't seen your icon pic before -- it was still Albie the pup when you arrived. I have to close and come back to get the list and that's when your new icon showed up

1:05 am

J. C.

Oh, Jilli? That's weird.

1:06 am

rururocks

looks like a boyfriend to me jilli .. unless JC calls him a pup...;)

1:06 am

jillibus

It's a new glitch for some of us -- refreshing doesn't work

1:06 am

sammysmom

i made a carrot cake this evening- putting some in the pb

1:06 am

J. C.

Albie is a dog now - a year. Still very small though.

1:06 am

J. C.

Erm, no ruru - he is definitely not a 'dog'. ;)

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

ohhhh with cream cheese frosting please

1:06 am

Ormal

ty sammysmom. we just ran out of that tonight :D

1:07 am

flosey

oh, my favourite cake s'mom

1:07 am

jillibus

See JC's writeup, ruru!

1:07 am

rururocks

pup isn't necessarily a dog jc..

1:07 am

rururocks

wink wink

1:07 am

sammysmom

yup- all from scratch- i feel sooooooo angelic

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

yum

1:07 am

jillibus

<-- polishes s'mom's halo

1:07 am

J. C.

Well he is 16 years younger, ruru - so he could be called that. But I don't call him that. :P

1:07 am

sammysmom

thanks jil

1:08 am

rururocks

16!!!!!!!!!! whoa

1:08 am

cybernan

good night everyone :)

1:08 am

joshuavorbis

other i from the lower right corner is is7, new word to me

1:08 am

jillibus

at last -- got that bottom corner I

1:08 am

rururocks

night nan...sorry to have upset you

1:09 am

jillibus

night nan

1:10 am

J. C.

Erm, ruru - I said he's 16 years younger (than me), not that he IS 16. :P He's 34 - and I'm an old knacker.

1:10 am

rururocks

whew

1:10 am

jillibus

oh, I just got the plain old is6/18

1:11 am

rururocks

thought you would have to say how old are you to him and he would hold up his hands and say "this many!"

1:11 am

rururocks

*giggle*

1:11 am

J. C.

In that case I wouldn't be going there, ruru!

1:12 am

rururocks

LOLOLOL

1:12 am

rururocks

just teasing JC...

1:12 am

joshuavorbis

is7 from the corner is + vowel + washer setting

1:13 am

J. C.

You don't say? ;)

1:13 am

joshuavorbis

ty pav, that won't last long

1:33 am

joshuavorbis

douglas, i'd really rather not. i think i'm allergic to it at this point

1:33 am

PAV3

I'd better get started then Miss Jilli...

1:34 am

J. C.

Allergic to research? Yes, after that much of anything you would tend to develop an allergy.

1:34 am

Douglas

Understood.

1:35 am

sandyloo

hey jc, and i'm allergic to hay

1:36 am

joshuavorbis

you start out with a topic you're in love with, and systematically kill it to death as you research and write about it

1:36 am

jillibus

Hi sandy!

1:36 am

sandyloo

hi jilli and everyone

1:36 am

J. C.

Well look who it is - did you get the e-mail I sent you from your neck of the woods, the other day?

1:36 am

flosey

hi sandy

1:37 am

J. C.

When we were about to leave for Sydney...

1:37 am

J. C.

Actually, it was in reply to one you sent - the first I've had any from you in ages, Sandy!

1:37 am

sandyloo

not sure, but are you still in Perth JC (finally i've a new computor)

1:37 am

J. C.

No, Sandy - check the date on that e-mail.

1:38 am

J. C.

We left for Sydney the next morning - it was sent after the Perth venue. That's when I found your e-mail awaiting me. The forward you had sent to all the contacts in your address book...

1:38 am

sandyloo

I will check it, did you enjoy Perth -We could have met for cofee!

1:38 am

jillibus

*pats self on back for finding ag7 and 8

1:39 am

J. C.

Well I wouldn't really have had time - but you could have come to the venue. Shame you hadn't kept in touch. I didn't know what was going on...

1:39 am

J. C.

What little I actually saw of it - as goes for most places.

1:39 am

flosey

1:40 am

J. C.

How are you - and how's Niki doing these days???

1:40 am

jillibus

1:41 am

flosey

1:41 am

sandyloo

Nikki, fainted on a very hot day when I was out and burnt herself badly on the path (hospital for 3 weeks) her shoulder is in and her burns are getting better, Most of all I am gettling less stressed everyday

1:42 am

sandyloo

and now I'm back here everything will improve vastly

1:42 am

J. C.

Oh I'm sorry - how awful for her! :( Was it one shoulder or both she was having trouble with?

1:42 am

PAV3

missing the bottom E for NBT

1:42 am

J. C.

That's horrible, Sandy - burns are excruciating. :(

1:43 am

jillibus

es9 is one of them, pav

1:43 am

sandyloo

Both but one was extra bad, anyway they are both not dislocating and life is getting better with the approach of winter

1:43 am

PAV3

1:45 am

PAV3

1:46 am

rolin

1:46 am

PAV3

1:46 am

jillibus

sorry, pav, but it's the only one I have, clued succinctly by ruru some time ago

1:47 am

PAV3

1:47 am

1:48 am

rolin

1:50 am

flosey

1:51 am

PAV3

1:52 am

jillibus

1:52 am

jillibus

at 1:47

1:53 am

PAV3

no I just scrolled back to the beginning...if it were;nt so darn long I'd call a fish...

1:53 am

Douglas

PAV3, it'll help if you spy out a subatomic particle in the grid first

1:54 am

jillibus

I spy with my little eye

1:54 am

PAV3

no I have the 9 now...subatomic particle doesnt ring a bell with me...but thanks...now 221 left

1:55 am

PAV3

unless you were clueing the io4

1:56 am

rolin

ok..i better get ready for work..bye all..

1:57 am

flosey

1:57 am

2:11 am

gremlinn

2:11 am

gremlinn

Oh the Plantet Suite, haven't listened to that in years.

2:17 am

Douglas

"eonian" was in a grid sometime ago...I'm patiently waiting for it to appear again so that I can pounce on it.

2:18 am

jillibus

aeonian is nicer

2:19 am

FMitch

The sun is shining and the sky is blue and there are so many aircraft trails in the sky. The silence was lovely whilst it lasted.

2:19 am

Douglas

Indeed yes, but I haven't seen that one in a grid before

2:20 am

sprite

silence continues here still, FM, but we don't have sun.

2:20 am

jillibus

I have, doug

2:20 am

FMitch

Oh are Dutch airports still shut?

2:20 am

lynxxx

Europe airports are open yet?

2:20 am

jillibus

2:20 am

flosey

2:21 am

2:21 am

FMitch

UK airports are open as of yesterday afternoon.

2:21 am

sprite

some flights come through, most not yet.

2:21 am

FMitch

one of the first flights out yesterday was to Iceland which has a certain irony.

2:22 am

jillibus

2:22 am

sprite

lollllll

2:22 am

flosey

I guess, jilli!

2:23 am

2:23 am

sprite

good writeup and icon, flosey

2:23 am

flosey

thanks sprite - but they do give me the willies

2:24 am

sprite

I think they are pretty in their own way, but I can fully understand your willies if you don't like snakes. Their tails are impressive.

2:25 am

flosey

the day someone suggests snakes, I will resort to flowers

2:25 am

jillibus

how do you feel about geckos, flosey?

2:25 am

flosey

I've never seen one jilli

2:25 am

sprite

lol it is definitely an idea. But I won't do it now, flosey, will try and remember you really don't like seeing them.

2:25 am

jillibus

you've seen pictures, surely?

2:26 am

jillibus

yes, sprite -- all kinds of snakes!

2:26 am

flosey

yes, jilli, and the pics are not actual photos

2:27 am

sprite

oh dear... I think we have a worm theme coming up. The taeniae or something like that.

2:27 am

FMitch

I remember back in the 60's when on hols in Spain a little gecko used to climb up the wall and catch flies. I was facinated by it.

2:27 am

jillibus

I think they're cute, and these little teiids just have longer tails and different colours and habits ;)

2:28 am

sprite

I like them. Watching them I mean.

2:28 am

flosey

fascinating, FM

2:28 am

hydra, there is only 1 9 letter word, the ag9 is the extra word that Lickety has included

3:06 am

Douglas

Grumbling and muttering about the absence of login and logon from the dictionary

3:06 am

lynxxx

Hi Hydra...that is not the 9

3:06 am

hydra

I even checked on Babble Dabble and the word was there.

3:07 am

lynxxx

TY Doug

3:07 am

FMitch

enable v babble v lickety is always a conundrum.

3:07 am

jillibus

aha -- over halfway

3:07 am

sandyloo

in other words are you saying there is no ag9?

3:07 am

rubyfoo

what is the 9 then?

3:07 am

jillibus

There is no ag9 -- the 9 is es9

3:08 am

sandyloo

thanks for that jilli-it saved me a lot of angst

3:08 am

hydra

Lickety's list has an ag9,66. Is it a mistake?

3:08 am

jillibus

:)

3:08 am

hydra

That's a good 'a' word, sandy!

3:08 am

jillibus

yes, hydra

3:09 am

lynxxx

Yes Hydra... Lickety uses a more recent version of Enable. Excess words happen quite often

3:09 am

hydra

Thanks jilli, and good morning!

3:09 am

FMitch

*sigh* there goes the phone TTFN

3:09 am

jillibus

hy hydra ;)

hydra

Well, I must start work now. 144 left. Will I ever find them all?

3:10 am

jillibus

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I was wrong, that wasn't half, it was 1/3! duh

3:10 am

sandrafrances

how many words are there today please

3:11 am

rubyfoo

248

3:11 am

jillibus

248

3:11 am

rubyfoo

why isn't shiso acceptable?

3:11 am

sandrafrances

just under halfway but i have the 9

3:12 am

jillibus

it's not a word I know

3:12 am

rubyfoo

it's a leaf for seasoning

3:12 am

jillibus

I mean shiso -- what is it?

3:12 am

mrpresident

evening :)

3:12 am

rubyfoo

they accept some food words and not others and it seems like capricious choosing!

3:13 am

rubyfoo

hi mrp

3:13 am

jillibus

hi mrp! long time!

3:13 am

lynxxx

hi MRP!

3:13 am

mrpresident

long long time! Hi girls!

3:13 am

sandyloo

Pres!!! Hi

3:13 am

jillibus

live and learn -- never heard of shiso

3:14 am

jillibus

how's your leg, mrp?

3:14 am

rubyfoo

it's delicious, especially in sushi. Sort of a cross between mint and basil

3:15 am

mrpresident

thought I would stop by and say hello and give this one a burl... am fluey and repairing well!

3:15 am

jillibus

Japanese, I guess, ruby?

3:15 am

lynxxx

It is called Perilla in english (shiso)

3:15 am

rubyfoo

they accept nori which is just as obscure!

3:15 am

rubyfoo

but not ramen

3:15 am

lynxxx

repairing is good, flu not so good

3:15 am

jillibus

never heard of perilla either, lol!

3:15 am

rubyfoo

ty lynxx

3:15 am

sandyloo

it sounds like a cross between sushi and miso

3:16 am

rubyfoo

maybe a portmanteau word!

3:16 am

jillibus

still have a cast, mrp?

3:16 am

rubyfoo

better get dressed; see you later!

3:16 am

sandyloo

What happened to your leg Pres?

3:16 am

jillibus

bfn ruby

3:17 am

rubyfoo

((jilli)

3:18 am

lynxxx

You are going to love MRPs story Sandy - right up your alley

3:19 am

sandyloo

Pres has been in the wars enough I think - what happened to her leg?

3:21 am

mrpresident

football season is driving me &$%#@#$ crazy already! so many phone calls!
sorry....

3:22 am

mrpresident

Oh sandy, I was wrangling the chickens into the coop and fell off the frigging plank that leads down to the coop when one of the buggers flapped in my face!

3:22 am

mrpresident

broke my left leg and right ankle... joy!

3:22 am

sandyloo

Broken?

3:23 am

sandyloo

can't believe it!! You poor thing... you must have been in agony , I hope you weren't alone

3:24 am

mrpresident

I was in agony! couldn't move my legs at all... thought I had broken my pelvis... but Luke was with me and he dragged me down to the house so I could get reception on the phone

3:25 am

sandyloo

Better now , I hope? I am out of touch with all the news

3:25 am

mrpresident

much better thanks! ((hugs))

3:25 am

sandyloo

(bigger hugs back)

3:27 am

mrpresident

but! I managed to get my referee ticket for football during all this so now get paid to ref soccer games!... once I can run again LOL!

3:28 am

jillibus

still got a cast, mrp?

3:28 am

bojazz

mrp - you have a very presidential icon - the coolest one i've seen so far

3:29 am

mrpresident

no jilli, they couldn't cast me... the bones were damaged in a way that weight bearing wasn't a problem... so had to just keep off the legs. (wheelchair was ok to deal with)

3:29 am

mrpresident

thanks bojazz!

3:29 am

jillibus

wow, that's unusual, isn't it, mrp?

3:30 am

Douglas

Soho is in the grid "Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball. From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played 'em all"

3:30 am

mrpresident

yes, but I requested it jilli

3:30 am

mrpresident

I promised to stay a good girl... not walk etc... nothing was displaced

3:31 am

lynxxx

NB will be pleased

3:31 am

jillibus

must have been very difficult

3:31 am

mrpresident

well, you all know what happened to lickety right?

3:31 am

jillibus

so can you walk now, mrp?

3:31 am

lynxxx

no - ?

3:32 am

mrpresident

I can walk now... have a good limp... but can walk and get my own tea!

3:32 am

jillibus

no! what?

3:32 am

mrpresident

the day before the accident, he was retrenched... so he has been looking after me full time. The hospital wouldn't have let me go without the assurance that I was under care

3:33 am

jillibus

retrenched?

3:33 am

sandyloo

oh no, that is bad about Lickety, has he got another job yet?

3:34 am

mrpresident

Lickety hasn't been working for 5 weeks... he got a HUGE retrenchment package... so we are fine for about a year!! but he is bored and needs to get back to work

3:34 am

lynxxx

Wow. He was the last of the IT team wasn't he? did they close the Australia operation

3:34 am

jillibus

oh, I see -- how awful!

3:34 am

mrpresident

yes lynxx, they took everything offshore to Malaysia

3:34 am

jillibus

what's IT? Sorry to be so ignorant

3:35 am

lynxxx

and no possiblity of any consulting work with them in the future?

3:35 am

mrpresident

Information Technology... computer programmer

3:35 am

jillibus

So it goes, in so many countries :(

3:35 am

mrpresident

no lynxx, he works for himself now at night... with a firm in the USA

3:36 am

jillibus

Thanks. I thought he has something to do with computer programming!

3:36 am

mrpresident

It is difficult for him with the hours, but work will come along soon!

3:36 am

mrpresident

indeed jilli!

3:37 am

lynxxx

I am sure he would be snapped up for any job he applied for. We would all give him good references!

3:37 am

jillibus

I sent him an email about Babble Expert the other day -- wonder if he saw it.

3:37 am

mrpresident

he is sooooo qualified, he has to wait for the right job to come up... otherwise he can't apply.

3:38 am

mrpresident

I will check with him jilli! He is out training soccer tonight

3:39 am

mrpresident

lynxx and sandy... have you seen this NRL problem?? They cheated!! There goes Rugby League in Australia

3:39 am

sandyloo

mrpresident

3:41 am

mrpresident

3:42 am

Douglas

3:43 am

jillibus

3:44 am

lynxxx

3:49 am

mrpresident

Douglas

Babble is the only place where *repoof* is a word

4:00 am

Douglas

Even though I'm a mere 3 words to halfway, I'm declaring moral defeat and bidding you all happy babbling. G'day, Aussie babblers!

4:01 am

sandyloo

5:08 am

BabbleRabble

Grids a piece of cake ..... an hour tops

5:08 am

Brookie

Hi BR!

5:09 am

5:10 am

dcseain

good morning, yall

5:10 am

Brookie

Hi DC!

5:10 am

herinfernallady

I threw in potato, crappy peas and corn and carrots frozen that was not my thing, lentils, canned tomatoes, bacon,

5:10 am

dcseain

are you up early or late, brookie?

5:10 am

herinfernallady

Basically everything that was about to turn or I would toss got thrown in the pot.

5:10 am

Brookie

Herin, that sounds really good. You're like an iron chef!

5:11 am

dcseain

clean-out-the-fridge stew/soup/what-have-you is the best!

5:11 am

herinfernallady

Well I used to be a chef

5:11 am

Brookie

This is my new time to get up... around 5:45. My 2 year old doesn't wake up till about 6 a.m.... and seemingly he's sleeping late this morning!

5:12 am

herinfernallady

But when you have no cash then it is time not to waste. This is the last batch of it. I had about 3 containers for 2 people. 3 if you add bread

5:12 am

Brookie

So I'm assuming you enjoy cooking, herin?

5:12 am

dcseain

ah, my 2 yr old nephew is up and about, sadly - i'm watching him today, and he was up when i got here at 5:30

5:12 am

herinfernallady

Lovely Brookie. Not. Remember this when he is a teen and refuses to get his butt out of bed

5:12 am

dcseain

coolio, herin

5:12 am

herinfernallady

Hi Dc

5:13 am

dcseain

evening, herin

5:13 am

Brookie

Sleeping children make for happy mommies.

5:13 am

herinfernallady

I wore this fantastic corset to class today and I got asked so many times how could I breath

5:13 am

Brookie

As for food, I'm still working on all the food donations I kindly received @ xmas.

5:13 am

Brookie

I

5:14 am

Brookie

I'm sure you answered breathlessly, herin :-)

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Brookie good pun but I used to skin I don't need to breath through the lungs

5:14 am

Brookie

Explain, herin...

5:15 am

herinfernallady

OK I will explain that. I am very tired and brain dead.

5:15 am

herinfernallady

I used to Sing so I got taught to breath to the stomach

5:15 am

Brookie

Gotcha.

5:16 am

Brookie

A singing, frugal chef with fantastic style! That should be your tag line!

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Sorry long day. Even my teacher was worried because I was drifting all day

5:17 am

Brookie

Sorry to hear that.

5:17 am

Brookie

Time to remove the mud masque and apply the deep exfoliator... brb...

5:17 am

dcseain

Smoe days we drift, some days we steer

5:18 am

herinfernallady

Yep and my teacher was nice enough to ask if it was ok. The more I tried to not be annoying the more I was. The more I tried not to be that annoying kid in the class the more it didn't happen

5:19 am

dcseain

:)

5:20 am

herinfernallady

True dc and sometimes we just veg in the back and yell directiosn

5:23 am

Brookie

I'm back... exfoliators working their magic on my aging face...

5:23 am

Brookie

On a completely different note, for the May 8th babblers reunion in Baltimore, I may need to bring my children. Is that OK?

5:24 am

Brookie

(This question is directed at DC)

5:24 am

dcseain

indeed, brookie, no problem at all. so that's +2, th4?

5:25 am

herinfernallady

I want to go too :(

5:26 am

Brookie

Yes it is. It might just be a +1 if my one son has a baseball game... his father can take him to that.

5:26 am

dcseain

we'd be happy to have you, but we are on the other side of the planet

5:26 am

Brookie

You'll be there in spirit, herin!

5:26 am

dcseain

all good, brookie :)

5:28 am

dcseain

I've traveled all over this world,
And now to another I go.
And I know that good quarters are waiting
To welcome old Ro5 the Beau.

5:28 am

dcseain

(in case you're into oldish folk music)

5:28 am

Brookie

That's quite the clue, DC

5:30 am

JBV

oh, good morning, and so I wake up to Old Ro*** the Beau - I think I remember learning that from an old Burl Ives songbook! (going way way back into the oldish days, dc)

5:30 am

dcseain

morning, jbv :)

5:30 am

Brookie

hi jbv

5:30 am

herinfernallady

O dear I found a factory sales outlet list site.

5:36 am

herinfernallady

Hi JBv

5:36 am

JBV

hi herin

5:37 am

herinfernallady

how you?

5:37 am

JBV

herin, did I see you say you "used to" sing ? did the singing stop?

5:39 am

herinfernallady

Used to sing in school choir

5:40 am

dcseain

The Pauline EP7

5:40 am

JBV

me, too, the voice has definitely changed, but that doesn't stop me - I sing along with opera in the car :) doesn't hurt anyone's ears....

5:40 am

dcseain

host a soup and song, herin - potluck soup meal followed by hours of singing. it's great fun

5:46 am

herinfernallady

DC and JB. I don't have many friends.

5:48 am

JBV

we have a community chorus in my town - always looking for members, I've promised myself I will join and activate the old vocal chords one of these days, this may be my year - planning my RETIREMENT !

5:48 am

JBV

(big news - haven't shared yet, but I will probably hand in my letter this week)

5:49 am

herinfernallady

Do it JBV just do it

5:49 am

dcseain

cool, jbv :)

5:49 am

JBV

yep, I don't need much of a push, I'm ready

5:52 am

JBV

but in the meantime, I still have to work, and it's time to get ready, see you later and good luck to all

5:53 am

dcseain

have a good one, jbv

no, but there are some words i did not expect in the dictionary, especially in the S

5:54 am

dcseain

morning, red

5:55 am

redturtlehead

hi dc.

6:02 am

redturtlehead

what a bacon-y grid this am, lots of works for pork origions.

6:03 am

redturtlehead

words, words.

6:04 am

dcseain

hm. so there's a hint for my many missing Ps

6:04 am

dcseain

ah, and HOs :)

6:05 am

redturtlehead

6:05 am

redturtlehead

fear.

6:05 am

dcseain

he5 ho, he5 ho, it's off to work we go

6:07 am

oh not for me thanks DC.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Seain & Red. Feeling better, Red?

6:08 am

dcseain

nor for me :)

6:08 am

dcseain

morning, scrabbs

6:08 am

redturtlehead

unfortunately not really Scrabbs Headache fever, and the GE continues...

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Yuck. Tylenol, Gatorade, rest.

6:09 am

redturtlehead

yes, I think I signed up for overtime, but I am ging to call and tell them sorry in a few minutes.

6:09 am

dcseain

i find acetominophen mostly useless in and of itself

6:10 am

Scrabbler

I only take it when I have been puking--easier on the belly. Otherwise my analgesic of choice = naproxen.

6:10 am

redturtlehead

it is a feve reducer.

6:10 am

dcseain

i've never tried naproxen

6:11 am

dcseain

i have found, for me, that acetominophen by itself does nothing

6:11 am

redturtlehead

dc for your P's there is a pi 5 the many keyed musical instrument

6:12 am

dcseain

indeed there is :)

6:16 am

dcseain

once the tulips are gone and the allyssum have finished, there will just be lavender and ivy. And the wisteria is just starting to flower! can't stop smiling!

8:39 am

I've found a new word for you, Haz

10:06 am

Haz1558

One who has high regard for themselves, eg6

10:06 am

PinnyPoppins

Duh - how did I miss that fish??? Thanks guys

10:06 am

and that too

10:06 am

Haz1558

What would that be, Ata?

10:06 am

Atalante

Lexadaisical: adj – Being lackadaisical with your lexicon.
Examples of this would be your instead of you’re, its instead of it’s, or as Will Farrell said in one of his funny impersonations: “strategery.”
You gotta except it, its so common for people to be lexadaisical, if not, than I’d say your a genius!

10:06 am

rururocks

someone who spends a lot of time in front of mirrors

10:07 am

Haz1558

I'm squirming at the examples so I suppose it confirms that I'm not lexadaisical.

10:08 am

Atalante

Absolutely. I like the word though. It says a lot

10:08 am

Atalante

in one word

10:08 am

Haz1558

True!

10:44 am

Aloyisius

10:44 am

I wasn't around the first time round, but was introduced to it about 10 years ago and LOVE it. The new version doesn't compare. I am the new Number 2!

10:44 am

I do too vaguely but it is interesting to see how they have redone it this time around.

Although I did enjoy seeing Rover attacking Number 6 in great detail

10:46 am

10:46 am

PinnyPoppins

For sure

10:48 am

I used to be able to open a new Lickety's List and if I had words entered on another one, the second one would add the words when it opened. I need two boxes like that when I travel. It does not do it anymore using IE. Has anyone else experienced this?

11:05 am

no the second one, the male organ

11:05 am

Aloyisius

i mean the first pe6.21, gheesh, sorry

11:05 am

11:06 am

Aloyisius

Merk, I had to "extract" to get the zip in a form that would open on my desktop

11:06 am

FMitch

I use IE Merk and have not come across that problem.

11:06 am

Merk

I can open it from my desktop, but when I open it in IE, it no longer will show the words that I've already found. Irritating.

11:07 am

Aloyisius

ooh, dunno a

11:07 am

Aloyisius

'bout that

11:07 am

Merk

So if you have lickety open in a window and then open it in a new window, the words will show up in the second one?

11:07 am

Merk

I used to be able to do that, but suddenly, it stopped and it's been a bummer.

11:08 am

Aloyisius

haven't tried that, Merk

Riverdance

chocolate chunk - yum

12:46 pm

EvaNadine

NB, i had actually always loved tattos, ever since i was a wee little lass. the masks i got first. i grew up as a dancer and with a love of theater, so they were appropriate. but they were also symbolic of my view on life -- that everything bad comes with something good (and vice versa).
the clover i got because i just really liked it (and ive got a touch of the irish heritage too). plus, it covered up a scar i hated, so yay!

12:47 pm

EvaNadine

*untalks to ata*

I just love what tattoos say about you as a person...enduring all that pain for the sake of decoration ;) and I love mine! even more because it's so personal.

12:48 pm

bichon

12:52 pm

Atalante

I always loved the snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

12:53 pm

EvaNadine

12:54 pm

crosshair

lol

12:55 pm

EvaNadine

trying to think where i may want to get a tattoo of a favorite quote of mine. wrist or ankle come to mind, but they seem kinda cliche for quotes...

12:55 pm

Atalante

ooo Eva, let me show you something, if I can find a pic ...

12:55 pm

Nancy Boy

what's the quote, Eva?

12:55 pm

Riverdance

I guess the body part would depend on the quote

12:55 pm

Atalante

my godsister has the most *amazing* quote tattoo spiralling down her ankle

12:56 pm

EvaNadine

"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."
~Mark Twain

12:56 pm

Nancy Boy

nice one! my favourite quote is in my profile - "a little bit too much is just enough for me".

12:57 pm

EvaNadine

i actually have a photo album of quotes i love. i havent updated it in QUITE sometime, but whenever im feeling dumpy, i pull it out + it makes me feel better. :)

12:58 pm

Soodlebum

If your getting a quotation tattooed onto you - be sure they get the spelling correct. I have seen some hilarious bloopers.

12:59 pm

crosshair

there is one i like from him eva 'grief can take care of itself,but to get the full value of a joy,you must have someone to divide it with'

12:59 pm

Atalante

eva: http://goo.gl/fTwf it actually spirals down though looks kinda horizontal there

12:59 pm

EvaNadine

thats a lovely one too, crossy. :)

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

what does it say, ata?

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

hello everybody

1:00 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Soodle - same. At a Radiohead gig I saw someone with the unfortunate tattoo, "hail to the theif"

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

I'm too old for this particular subject! lol

1:00 pm

Atalante

can't remember what it says lol, but it's a very dark and depressing quote from the poet John Clare, who is her great-great-grandfather

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

(and BTW, those shoes are FABU!)

1:01 pm

Atalante

lol was JUST about to say, I knew you'd love the shoes! Aren't they FAB!

1:01 pm

"Of all the dads out there, you are one of them"

1:47 pm

Riverdance

NB - are your stitches out yet?

1:49 pm

pippingeek

what's this about nb and stitches?

1:50 pm

Riverdance

NB - are you there??? Poor boy cut his hand on glass

1:50 pm

pippingeek

ouch!

1:50 pm

Riverdance

he was actually chatting here while waiting in the emergency room

1:51 pm

Nancy Boy

*wakes up* sorry! hi :D

1:51 pm

Riverdance

hello - stitches out yet

1:51 pm

Nancy Boy

I had to keep my mind off it, Mom ;) I'm a bit of a sissy - looks like it's healing pretty well though. And I'm enjoying the attention!

1:52 pm

pippingeek

why am i not surprised, nb seems surgically attached to his chat implements

1:52 pm

Nancy Boy

stitches still in - ugly things. Mind you, I'm dreading having them taken out, because I think it'll be only slightly more disgusting than having them put in

1:52 pm

pippingeek

stitches beat staples

1:53 pm

pippingeek

i had a "scar-down" with a new friend last night and totally lost, saw some truly gnarly scars

1:53 pm

Nancy Boy

staples, Pippin?! D:

1:53 pm

amelu0218

mine tickled when they pulled them out... stitches, that is...

1:53 pm

Riverdance

no big deal pulling stitches - Leo can hold your other hand while they do it

1:54 pm

Nancy Boy

I don't mind the pain so much, just the idea. And hey, there's an aeroplane in the sky!

1:54 pm

Riverdance

wow - the ash must be clearing

1:54 pm

pippingeek

oh, oh wow! that;s good news if they can fly!

1:54 pm

Boobear

1:55 pm

pippingeek

i'm in a disturbingly good mood today for someone who was out till 6am -- i feel like NB!

1:55 pm

Nancy Boy

There's a lot to be said for it ;)

1:56 pm

Riverdance

si + your ***son for today is + anethes**

1:56 pm

pippingeek

the sleeping till noon part didn't hurt either,i will admit

1:56 pm

Riverdance

Im a bit jittery today

1:57 pm

pippingeek

why's that, mom?

1:57 pm

Riverdance

quit smoking

1:57 pm

pippingeek

oh, that's big! but so good for you, i applaud you

1:57 pm

Riverdance

today is earth day so I picked this date weeks ago

1:57 pm

pippingeek

i did it 4 years ago

1:58 pm

Nancy Boy

oh man - well done you, Mom. I'm pretty sure I'll be nailed into my coffin with a packet of smokes in my hand.

1:58 pm

Riverdance

started taking some meds about a week ago to help - I guess there has been about 10 minutes today that I didnt think about smoking so meds must be working

1:58 pm

pippingeek

get yourself busy with something

1:59 pm

Boobear

Not getting the si clue

1:59 pm

Riverdance

I have been smoking since I was 14 and am now 52 - its time

1:59 pm

pippingeek

and i found exercise was a big help - partly kept mind off, partly the not smoking made me better at it so it was encouraging to keep doing it

1:59 pm

Riverdance

kids are after me all the time so they are thrilled

2:00 pm

Riverdance

I dont smoke in my house anyway. Guess I will not be leaving the house anytime soon now

2:00 pm

Nancy Boy

I can imagine, Mom! Good for you, though, seriously. Personally, I think I have an addictive personality.

2:00 pm

Riverdance

I know I do - thats why I got the meds

2:01 pm

Nancy Boy

I've been good with giving up other things..smoking is my reward

2:01 pm

Riverdance

If I can make it through all day today, I should be OK - keep your fingers crossed.

2:02 pm

Nancy Boy

fingers are VERY much crossed Mom :)

2:02 pm

Ormal

Best of luck Mom! You can do it. In two days it will be 8 months since I quit.

2:03 pm

Ormal

And jittery is NOT the word I used to describe myself during that time :D

2:04 pm

Riverdance

Thats great Ormal and thanks.

2:04 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Ormal. I quit for a week once. I was an animal.

2:04 pm

Riverdance

I am trying really hard not to be bitchy.

2:04 pm

Riverdance

some would probably like that Nancy

2:05 pm

Ormal

Oh I didn't even try not to. I just told people I was Satan's Mistress and that I quit smoking.

2:05 pm

2:12 pm

pippingeek

that is my favorite cake, too! i love custard

2:14 pm

pippingeek

this is a weird weird town i have come to visit, and i'm suddenly the center of attention and it's a little overwhelming

2:15 pm

pippingeek

i've spent 3 years unable to get a date and now i have 4 men vying for my attention and i have to tell several of them no and i don't do confrontation well

2:16 pm

pippingeek

oops. and now i killed the chog

2:17 pm

Riverdance

wow pippin - go for the rich one

2:17 pm

Riverdance

I got interrupted at work - how dare they when I am playing babble

2:17 pm

pippingeek

none of them are rich, but i think i'm going to spend my time with the one who wants to actually take me out

2:17 pm

Riverdance

cute then?

2:18 pm

Riverdance

funny?

2:18 pm

pippingeek

one wants to take me out but expects certain favors in return, and one just wants the favors, the other one i've already cut loose

2:18 pm

Riverdance

forget him

2:19 pm

pippingeek

this latest one is very shy and i'm worried he's thinking more than what it is (after all, i'm just passing through), but i really enjoy his company

2:20 pm

Riverdance

then tell him that

2:20 pm

Boobear

clue for sl 5/12 please

2:20 pm

pippingeek

but i'm also a big fan of honesty so i think i can deal with any potential problem there

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

Pip, so you are fighting the men off, huh?

2:21 pm

Riverdance

2:21 pm

2:21 pm

amelu0218

2:22 pm

Scrabbler

2:22 pm

pippingeek

2:22 pm

Scrabbler

2:22 pm

graham000

2:23 pm

Boobear

ty

2:23 pm

pippingeek

nah - it has its benefits but it also has its problems, and as long as i'm single it's too full of drama for my taste

2:23 pm

Scrabbler

What does that mean, Graham?

2:23 pm

graham000

forcastle, on a ship

2:23 pm

pippingeek

forecastle - a common boat abbreviation

2:23 pm

graham000

or is it forecastle? - it is an abbreviation but a recognised one

2:24 pm

Scrabbler

New word for me.

2:24 pm

graham000

old english type of thing

2:24 pm

graham000

fat lot of use it is to you on here though

2:24 pm

Scrabbler

I need 181 words and am seeing nothing. Is anyone else struggling with this grid?

2:31 pm

Scrabbler

How are you, Hursh?

2:31 pm

Anniebrook

hello hurshy

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

I think they are all doing well. The kids are doing well because Dad is doing (outwardly) well. The kids are loved, secure, and daily life is structured.

2:43 pm

Riverdance

2:43 pm

pippingeek

what's the matter, red?

2:44 pm

redturtlehead

just a stomahc virus, it will pass eventually.

2:44 pm

pippingeek

sorry to hear that

2:44 pm

Anniebrook

red, did you see a doctor or are you doctoring yourself?

2:45 pm

redturtlehead

Well, Annie, I've only been sick for 2 days now, so no need. I did speak to one MD the other day no real advice given.

2:45 pm

Anniebrook

stomach viruses are going around..lasts about a week.

2:45 pm

Anniebrook

What does Scrabbs say?

2:45 pm

Scrabbler

Just hydration + go lsow + easy on the stomach.

2:46 pm

Scrabbler

2:46 pm

redturtlehead

Anniebrook

2:58 pm

redturtlehead

i think it was me, ireally do hate it! i love quitters!

2:58 pm

I-Mac

Hate what?

2:59 pm

redturtlehead

hi i mac, i am not a fan of smoking.

2:59 pm

Riverdance

Im trying to remember - because I picked this date while chatting with you guys and I actually went through with it. So it has been 18 hours and counting

2:59 pm

I-Mac

Me either...and I live with a smoker!

2:59 pm

I-Mac

Keep wishing he would quit.

2:59 pm

redturtlehead

mom you are awesome, you can do it!

2:59 pm

Riverdance

I actually feel better than I thought - must be the meds

2:59 pm

I-Mac

You're trying to quit, Mom?

3:00 pm

Riverdance

I really think I can do it this time

3:00 pm

Riverdance

I quit today (earth day) I-Mac

3:00 pm

I-Mac

We know someone who was heavily addicted...smoked since his teens and now he's nearly 49, he was only able to quit with that drug they have now that's called Champix!

3:00 pm

I-Mac

Oh, good for you!

3:01 pm

Riverdance

I made the decison a month ago when I went for my yearly physical, got a prescription from my Doc for something that could help and picked my quit date with the babblers.

3:01 pm

I-Mac

More power to you...that's great!

3:01 pm

I-Mac

If only I could get my better half to quit!

3:01 pm

redturtlehead

you can so totally do it!

3:01 pm

Riverdance

thats what I am taking - Chantix - i have been smoking since I was 14 and am now 52. Its time!

3:01 pm

Anniebrook

Mom, I am so proud of you. You can do it!!! One day at a time..it can be done.

3:02 pm

Anniebrook

darn, phone, bbs

3:02 pm

Riverdance

I figured the more people I tell, the less I can screw up

3:02 pm

redturtlehead

OK, I am out of caff tea, will now make some weak coffee...

3:02 pm

I-Mac

It's got a slightly different name in the US...that's it.

3:02 pm

Riverdance

so thanks for the votes of confidence

3:02 pm

I-Mac

It's Champix here.

3:02 pm

redturtlehead

Mom, We are always here for you, the nice thing about babbel is that there is always some small chatter going on here...

3:03 pm

Riverdance

where is here IMac

3:04 pm

I-Mac

England

3:04 pm

redturtlehead

its the same drug Imac, just a different name.

3:04 pm

I-Mac

I know, red...that's what I said!

3:04 pm

redturtlehead

yes, I missed part of that, it scrolled off my screen.

3:05 pm

Riverdance

You got to join pro IMac so we can see where you are from

3:05 pm

redturtlehead

pro is the way to go.

3:06 pm

I-Mac

Might if I decide I like it enough.

3:06 pm

Riverdance

one time lifetime fee of $14.95. Cant go wrong for that. My bottle of wine that is gone in a night may be more than that.

3:06 pm

redturtlehead

It is still surprisingly one of the best bargains on the internet...

3:07 pm

redturtlehead

ok coffee....must go try to imbibe.

3:07 pm

Riverdance

I need to get pro expert now but waiting on new computer. We are looking now - hopefully in next month.

3:08 pm

redturtlehead

I dont have expert, which is probably why I type words into chog so much!

3:08 pm

pippingeek

exactly! us mac folks are more likely to screw that up since we have to expert access

3:09 pm

pippingeek

no access, not to access

3:09 pm

I-Mac

Cheap, but I won't usually have much time for it. Seeing how it goes...I'm not fast at finishing, like some!

3:09 pm

Atalante

speed isn't important ;)

3:09 pm

I-Mac

Everyone assumes I'm on a Mac but I'm not, that's not what my name means.

3:10 pm

Riverdance

thats the beauty of it - you dont have to finish - you plan as much or as little as your can but it is always there for you

3:10 pm

I-Mac

It is when you don't have much time for it!

3:10 pm

I-Mac

I hate starting anything I can't finish though!

3:10 pm

Atalante

ah yes, that's an issue!

3:11 pm

Riverdance

I tend to be like that to - but have no choice to not finish when kids need computer for homework

3:11 pm

5:01 pm

Anniebrook

there is no ag9 but there is an ag7 and 8

5:01 pm

hurshy

well, there are courses for being paralegals, yes, and they do usually prefer people to have some sense of the type of things they will have to do

5:01 pm

hurshy

apparently they really do all the hard work. sucky hours.

5:01 pm

Atalante

but you don't have to have legal qualifications - I mean, you don't have to study law to become one?

hi soodle.

5:06 pm

Soodlebum

I fireworked a while ago. Can I help anybody with feeble clues?

5:06 pm

Gail

Hello, I have been lurking and playing.

5:07 pm

Atalante

hi Gail! hi Quid!

5:08 pm

Soodlebum

Ahem. I had a look at the rankings earlier, and Soodle is on the Cream of the Crop list. The excitement nearly killled me.!!

5:08 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Gail

5:09 pm

Good Enough

congrats soodle! will you still allow we lowly ones to mingle with you :)

5:10 pm

Soodlebum

Oh, Good Enough... I may possibly deign to fraternise with you occasionally.....

5:10 pm

Gail

Quid is not happy with me. I have been taking my sone to Dartmouth for chemo all week and he has missed going to work with me. Quid - not my son. One more day and life will be normal again for a while.

5:10 pm

Atalante

Poor Quid! Don't you know you're meant to organise life around the dog!!

5:11 pm

redturtlehead

oooh poor Quid and Gail , how is your son doing?

5:12 pm

Soodlebum

Poor Gail! It must be a very difficult time for you. (((Gail)))

5:13 pm

Gail

He is doing quite well. He has CIDP, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies. It took ten years to get a diagnosis, so I am glad we are getting the treatment.

5:13 pm

Atalante

10 years!!! demyelinating - is that related to MS?

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

that sounds like an unusual disease gail.

5:14 pm

Flask1

cl6/21 please....FIRST one please?

5:14 pm

hurshy

you're making me want to watch house.

5:15 pm

Anniebrook

flask, its a plural

5:15 pm

Anniebrook

(((Gail)))

5:15 pm

Gail

It actually is the chronic form of Guillain Barre, very very rare. It goes from the feet up, unlike MS, but demyelinates in the same way.

5:15 pm

Flask1

lol...thanx Annie!

5:16 pm

Anniebrook

youre welcome, flask

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

Oh. I have treated people with GB. Not a nice disease at all...

5:16 pm

Gail

House would have diagnosed it years ago!

5:16 pm

Atalante

feet up? how *odd*

5:16 pm

Gail

It is up over his knees, so they are being really agressive with the treatment.

5:17 pm

hurshy

yes, that's why one wants to watch - he always figures it out!

5:18 pm

Gail

Mike had the nerve conduction studies and the lumbar puncture all on the same day, not fun for him at all.

5:18 pm

Soodlebum

Anybody looking for clues, before I disconnect the power>

5:19 pm

Atalante

and he has chemo? how does that help? sorry, don't answer if it's too stressy to talk about. am just interested as best friend has MS

5:19 pm

Gadget

Any large, difficult P word please...

5:20 pm

Flask1

go5/14 and ho5/16....are my last 2 words and am really struggling.....help please???

5:20 pm

Gail

No, not stressed. I am relieved now. They have to really suppress his immune system and they use the same sort of chemo after the immunosuppresant therapy that they do for secondary progressive MS.

6:43 pm

jillibus

how's the weather where you are, muse? Maybe if it's nice your mothe will go out more?

6:43 pm

stidmama

when I had panic attacks, I couldn't isolate myself as much as I wanted, but I sure had a hard time getting back to being comfortable away from home.

6:43 pm

Well we have relocated her from Florida Stid. One friend and her sisters call occasionally.

6:43 pm

hi jilli

6:44 pm

stidmama

6:45 pm

mymuseisme

No Jill she won't budge even when it was 80 here. She's depressed but thinks she's not. Last time I got her to dr's she had to walk 5 block coz i got the streets mixed up. That wore her out and she felt naseous later on. She might be afraid of that happening again.

6:45 pm

6:50 pm

mymuseisme

Her vision is failing her, she is unsteady on her feet, and her short term memory is very short. She doesn't even remember being in the hospital. So we are afraid to let her live by herself again.

6:50 pm

jillibus

6:51 pm

jillibus

In physics, and specifically, particle physics, is7/32 (isotopic sp4, isobaric sp4) is a quantum number related to the strong interaction. This term was derived from isotopic sp4, but the term is confusing as two isotopes of a nucleus have different numbers of nucleons; in contrast, rotations of is7/32 maintain the number of nucleons. Nuclear physicists prefer isobaric sp4, which is more precise in meaning. Is7/32 symmetry is a subset of the flavour symmetry seen more broadly in the interactions of baryons and mesons. Is7/32 symmetry remains an important concept in particle physics, and a close examination of this symmetry historically led directly to the discovery and understanding of quarks and of the development of Yang-Mills theory.

10:59 pm

jillibus

There. Now you know there is a meaning to is7/32 ;)
