2:22 am

sprite

top N is only 4 letters, rbud

2:23 am

rbud

aha, just monkeyed that one, yay! thought I'd tried that already.

2:24 am

sprite

hehehe you are out of training, rbud!

2:28 am

sprite

could the lonely R be the person who goes on and on and on?

2:29 am

rbud

morning sandra, 181

2:55 am

sandrafrances

thanks

2:56 am

sandyloo

Actually Sprite, his pain in the chest has gone (that is very good news) but he has an irritated hip so he is looking up foods to overcome arthritis - he doesn't want to get a hip replacement

2:56 am

sandyloo

I think he will have to eventually but he is ok at the moment and can try anything he wants I guess

2:56 am

sprite

am very glad the pain in his chest is gone!

2:57 am

sandyloo

So am I , but we will wait for the scan in August

2:57 am

sandyloo

how did you fall over?

2:57 am

sprite

yeah, he has time, a hip replacement can be a good option but why not try other things first indeed

2:58 am

sprite

*keeps fingers crossed*

2:58 am

sprite

my ankle gave, when I was carrying some old paper to the car.

2:59 am

sandyloo

that happened to me once (turned ankle) the pain was excrutiating and I nearly fainted from it

2:59 am

sandyloo

poor sprite but I know you are recovereing

2:59 am

sandyloo

whoops recovering

3:00 am

sprite

it was no picnic but am ok now. Only right knee needs to heal up further. But it will.

3:01 am

sandyloo

it will indeed

3:01 am

sprite

I guess you guys don't call a transformator a trafo

3:01 am

sandyloo

never heard of it

3:02 am

sprite

neither has enable, lol

3:08 am

sprite

oh found another 8

3:10 am

sprite

be on the watchout for compounds!

3:11 am

sandyloo

menrow isn't there

3:11 am

sprite

where the heck did he go?

3:12 am

sandyloo

Today Nicky has a bad toothache and refuses to go to the dentist- !!!

3:13 am

sprite

no complaining then. It is either one way or the other!

3:13 am

sandyloo

I have told her just that !!!

3:14 am

sprite

hehehe you and I would get along, sandy

3:15 am

sandyloo

did I tell you we are looking after one of the neighbours horses (friend for scrimmy ) and it is soooo skinny

3:15 am

sandyloo

these racing people dont care about the horses except for money

3:16 am

sprite

I think you told me you were looking after it, but not that it was skinny. Isn't that silly, wouldn't a horse race better if it was fed well and taken care off?

3:16 am

sandyloo

I have been feeding it and have got a rug for it- it makes me mad! he just expects me to leave it unattended in the paddock but I can't bear looking at how thin it is

3:17 am

sandyloo

of course Sprite but it is on spell so what does he care

3:17 am

sprite

that is so sad :(

3:17 am

sandyloo

it is sad when it has to go back- at the moment it is happy

3:18 am

sprite

indeed

3:19 am

sprite

fireflies for me. Sorry but I have to be off. Have fun, all. *hugs* to Sandy and Nicki.

Haz1558

So far, it's not been a hair puller.

3:44 am

Haz1558

Did Ata ever turn up yesterday?

3:45 am

rubyfoo

can't afford to lose any hair!! aaargh

3:45 am

FMitch

No didn't see her at all, guess she was out and about celebrating.

3:46 am

Haz1558

We'll just have to shower her with belated wishes when she does show up.

3:47 am

FMitch

3:47 am

Good morning anyone left.

4:26 am

Dindrane

Morning!

4:26 am

Christine

As soon as the kettle boils, I'm off to read my new library books )Joshilyn Jackson & Stieg Larsson); may not go to bed tonight.

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Dindrane. Like your kitten :-)

4:27 am

Christine

Look at that! the gremlins screwed up the opening bracket!!

4:27 am

Dindrane

hee, thanks! I like your name!

4:44 am

sandyloo

hi everyone again

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

Hi sandy

4:47 am

sandyloo

sally, is shropshire in the country

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

Very much so sandy. I think it's the least populated county in England.. Very agricultural, beautiful scenery, very unspoilt, and not much known about :-)

4:49 am

Sally-catlover

I mean that many people haven't heard about it.

4:49 am

sandyloo

do you live in a village or on an acreage

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

We live in a village with one pub, no shop, a bus once a week. We have just over an acre here, which is quite a lot for England, but probably average for Shropshire. We are five miles from Ludlow and 5 miles from Tenbury Wells, both market towns.

5:00 am

sandyloo

that sounds lovely, we live not far out of perth on 8 acres -handy to everything but like living in the country

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

Land has a different meaning in Oz! So would you call that an acreage? Not a term we really use here.

5:05 am

sandyloo

I have a cousin who has a sheep station of 1 million acres LOL ours is called a hobby farm I guess

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

lol sandy! T has a cousin in Oz who used to have a sheep station near Sofala, NSW, which was nearly 400 acres, and we thought that was huge! Was a wonderful place but they have now retired to Gulgong.

5:08 am

sandyloo

the station is in very arid country and needs lot of land for each sheep- land in NSW is better quality as they have more water

5:08 am

sandyloo

although drought affects lots of Aus

5:09 am

sandyloo

my icon pic is on our little farm and it is green like that now

5:09 am

sandyloo

i have 23 left

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

They were having to conserve water drastically when we were there. We were impressed by the rain catching tanks and pumping arrangements. We are very careless of water in the UK. When people talk about a drought here, they don't know the meaning of the word! Means they can't water the lawn for a week or something. Huh!

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

Oh. I have 91 left but didn't start till quite late.

5:10 am

Merk

Good morning!

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Merk.

5:11 am

sandyloo

we have water restrictions in perth - only allowed to water gardens with sprinklers three days a week- on our farm we have a water tank and a bore and no scheme water which means no water rates

5:13 am

Sally-catlover

I think as a country you are much more aware of conserving resources, what happens to your rubbish and so on, than we are. So many people here are so wasteful, not just with food, but with packaging. Chuck it away and someone else will do it!

5:15 am

sandyloo

the council here provides us with two wheelie bins-one for recycling and one for rubbish which makes people aware of recycling

5:16 am

sandyloo

you have toremember though, that we do not get your rainfall (and I love rain)

5:16 am

Merk

How's the grid? Quite a few words considering there is no 's' tile

5:16 am

sandyloo

easy for the first 90 and then takes more time

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

Just found the 8-letter animal :-)

5:17 am

sandyloo

what does it begin with?

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

an 8/40

5:18 am

sandyloo

aah I have that one

5:18 am

Merk

ty, cinch, because I had just gotten that second part of the compound.

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

Is there another? That's my first 8

5:19 am

sandyloo

not another animal i dont think , I have 4 of the 5 eights

5:20 am

sandyloo

dont have the in8 yet

5:22 am

Merk

Looking for the in 8, I just got the in 7.

5:24 am

Merk

Where are the other 8s please?

5:26 am

Merk

Oh dear, where did everyone go?

5:26 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry Merk, only have that one at the moment.

5:29 am

sandyloo

Hi Dr G good to hear from you

10:54 am

Barb's Horses

can't think of anything

10:54 am

rururocks

I will think of a few things

10:54 am

hurshy

I HAVE SOMETHING!!

10:55 am

EvaNadine

if at all possible, i would love the possibility of playing old grids, even if not getting points for them...

10:55 am

hurshy

we need our add chat button back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:55 am

hurshy

oooh, i second evanadine's motion.

10:55 am

Norma

Thanks ruru can you give me a bit more please

10:55 am

Barb's Horses

oops hit enter before finished tying...that was suppose to say can't think of anything at the moment Dr. G. It is great fun

10:55 am

EvaNadine

also (i know i have mentioned this before) i would like the option to "ignore" a certain user -- this would be very helpful for Trolls and Spammers

10:57 am

hurshy

note what a lovely case-in-point barb's horses has just provided for my request for the add chat button.

10:57 am

Barb's Horses

add chat hurshy?

10:57 am

cybernan

I would like to be able to scroll down the entire chat log like we used to

10:58 am

EvaNadine

barb -- basically, hitting Enter wouldnt add your message to the chog. there would be a button to click to do that -- thats the way it used to be...

10:58 am

hurshy

the old version of the site, you didn't make your chat come up by hitting enter, you had to click on a button. so we didn't have all the accidental words in the chog.

10:58 am

EvaNadine

cyber -- you can still do that if you click the "view entire chat log" button

10:58 am

cybernan

*or if that is not possible increase the number of entries shown in the chat at one time

10:58 am

rururocks

de + the exchange **** norma

10:59 am

hurshy

also, i pretty much don't use the "who's online" or "my friends" stuff, other than as a means to hide chat if i don't want to see clues.

10:59 am

cybernan

I know eva, but we used to be able to see the entire log without having to bring up a different page

10:59 am

cybernan

my friends is useful to find people in a hurry

10:59 am

hurshy

(and the view entire chat log takes FOREVER to load! however, perhaps the site used to be slower when we could scroll through it all at any time.)

11:00 am

EvaNadine

i do use "my friends" sometimes, but i have never found the "who's online" to be helpful -- knowing they are online frustrates me if they arent active in the chog!

11:00 am

cybernan

I thinkso hurshy -- but surely double the current entries wouldn't be too much

11:01 am

cybernan

when the chat is moving really quickly, like now, it is hard to keep up.

11:01 am

EvaNadine

i think it would be very cool, though, if you could send like private messages to people...
but then, thats taking babble away from being a game to being a whole socializing site...not sure thats what DrGod wants to do...

11:01 am

hurshy

i just think, since so many of us leave ourselves logged in regardless, those tabs are sort of meaningless. let's say i go and it says atalante is online - great, but it doesn't help me, if she doesn't answer!

11:02 am

Barb's Horses

can I ask what a clue is without giving away a whole answer??? I am not getting robot ending????

ah -- one who does one -- got it

11:13 am

I guess Dr. G's message is automated - lol

11:13 am

Barb's Horses

okay didn't we just see that message?

11:13 am

Barb's Horses

lol and here we were all talking to him

11:14 am

cybernan

maybe he will read the chat

11:14 am

Barb's Horses

but would be good sending the emails though just in case he doesn't

11:15 am

Dr_God

Oops. You're right. I didn't think the chat message went through when I entered it before. Oh well. I'll just pretend the 2nd message was intended for anyone who's logged on since I sent the first message. ;)

Please send me emails not chat messages. It's much easier for me to keep track of. ;) Thanks!

11:17 am

Would you by any chance be bragging, gremlinn?

11:17 am

EvaNadine

i received the "accidental" message and the one rescinding it, but i never received the one requesting suggestions...
*strange*

11:17 am

Barb's Horses

no gremlinn wouldn't do that ;)

11:17 am

gremlinn

I had a bit of an uncomfortable discussion with someone a couple months ago when suggesting to have a chat "ignore" feature. The webmaster in question was adamant not to want such a thing.

11:18 am

Barb's Horses

Love the picture Dr. God by the way

11:19 am

rururocks

makes me think of ZZ top

11:19 am

Barb's Horses

me too ruru

11:20 am

Barb's Horses

and the show on TV....Bones where he does guest appearances

11:20 am

cybernan

well done grem -- we would miss you if you ignored the chat!!!

11:21 am

gremlinn

what I had in mind for this other chat was the same idea about ignoring just single users (like spammers/rude people)

11:21 am

Dr_God

Adding an "ignore" button is pretty high on the list.

11:21 am

gremlinn

the webmaster felt strongly that such a feature would be misused and harm the sense of community - I thought it should be up to the user's individual decision to use or not

11:22 am

sciencegeek

Ignore what, Dr. God?

11:22 am

Evening all. Anyone have a clue for the FO7, my penultimate word, please?

11:32 am

mymuseisme

bye nan

11:33 am

rururocks

see you all later too. bb at teh flip

11:33 am

wht

Not me. I still have 74 to go.

11:33 am

stidmama

one more year muse, this summer I am taking classes full-time for 5 weeks to finish the endorsement to teach reading.

11:33 am

stidmama

later nan

11:33 am

mymuseisme

My mom was recuperating fairly well until she tripped over the dog and fractured her fibula. Then my shoulder has been acting up in the process, so it is very slow going over here.

11:34 am

wht

Off to lunch. BBL

11:34 am

stidmama

oh dear, muse, I am sorry to hear that. *very gentle hugs* will your mother recover enough to walk again, or will this land her in a chair?

11:34 am

mymuseisme

I'm not familiar with that course Endorsement to teach reading ... a new requirement?

11:36 am

stidmama

an endorsement is what our state calls it when you are fully qualified to teach a discipline. In my case, I will be endorsed for elementary (K-8), middle-level humanities (grades 4-9) and Reading (K-12)

11:36 am

mymuseisme

She is in a cam walker .... and we had to be very stern coz she tries to take it off ... for 6 weeks to help heal. If she puts any weight on it she may need surgery. But it is really hard to help with nightly duties, coz I don't hear her blow the whistle, and she has been trying to do it herself. My sil has great ears though, but tiring for her when she works.

11:37 am

mymuseisme

Great Stid!

11:37 am

stidmama

ah, yes, it is hard to manage the night-time assists... have you tried a child monitor or in-home sort of walkie-talkie system rather than a whistle?

11:37 am

mymuseisme

Do you have any preference as far as grade level?

11:38 am

stidmama

yes, I really want to teach middle-school. the elementary is a backup, and the reading is a long-time interest of mine, but I want to use it to support content-area instruction.

11:38 am

movieman

the lonely bottom r plz?

11:39 am

stidmama

hey movieman!

11:39 am

stidmama

I don't have that one yet either

11:39 am

movieman

hey stid!!!!!!

11:39 am

dart001

ra 6

11:39 am

stidmama

DART! ((hugs)) hey there!

11:39 am

mymuseisme

I can suggest since she is staying with my brother. But my Mom can be difficult, is depressed and in denial, and less than cooperative.

11:40 am

dart001

hi stid!!

11:40 am

mymuseisme

hi movie, dart and anyone else I missed!

11:40 am

movieman

ty dart

11:40 am

dart001

hi muse

11:40 am

movieman

hi muse

11:40 am

stidmama

oh dear. yes, I know how that is. ((more hugs)) depression impairs cognition, too, so it's a sort of spiral.

11:41 am

stidmama

is that ra 6 worth 18 points?

11:41 am

mymuseisme

yes and the depression comes from relocation and knowing that she can no longer live independently.

11:42 am

dart001

ra 6,18

11:42 am

stidmama

thanks dart

11:43 am

mymuseisme

I miss everyone here so I am trying to find time to pop in more often.

11:43 am

stidmama

yep. sounds familiar, muse. thought I know your family has already probably thought of it... what can be done in the new living situation to help her feel not everything has changed? What can be done to help her be as independent (safely) as possible?

11:43 am

stidmama

I felt the same way, I spent a lot of time in here since school let out a couple weeks ago. Five more weeks and I will have a small break again, and then... student teaching!

11:44 am

stidmama

got it!

11:44 am

mymuseisme

aaah student teaching! for sure we won't see you too often then.

11:45 am

stidmama

not often, for sure! (but maybe on weekends, I will need "brain breaks")

11:46 am

stidmama

need the E in the upper row for NBT please?

11:47 am

dart001

11:47 am

mymuseisme

Mom's biggest adjustment is being back in NY from Florida, having people around her (she's been alone for many years), making sure she takes her meds, trying to get her to get dressed and go out (not much success in that area), etc. Hard.

11:47 am

movieman

ed4 stid

11:47 am

stidmama

thanks movieman -- did you see anything interesting lately?

11:48 am

stidmama

oh, those old saga-fish! LOL got it

Nope stid, still waiting for the A-Team!!!!!

11:48 am

mymuseisme

Thanks for listening...enough about that.

11:49 am

stidmama

yep. so, how's the weather? I am DESPERATE for sun... usually the seasonal depression is a distant memory for me by now, but I am so sluggish and tired. And gray again today of course

11:49 am

movieman

Though I might see that new Saw-like horror, the Collector on Friday

11:50 am

stidmama

I want to see the A-Team too! a real blast from the past for me. But I can't figure out how they will pull it off without Mr T

11:50 am

stidmama

oh, I don't do scary.

11:51 am

mymuseisme

me neither

11:52 am

11:53 am

EvaNadine

my coworker saw the new a-team movie.
said the actor playing murdock was fabulous, but the ba barackus actor was the worst of the bunch. :/

11:54 am

stidmama

what a shame. I like BA in the original (of course)

11:54 am

stidmama

but without a really strong personality (Mr T) that role probably isn't convincing.

11:56 am

stidmama

wonder if liam neeson will live up the hype too

11:59 am

stidmama

bichon

I come to the Bay Area four or five times a year to visit grandkids

12:12 pm

stidmama

my school starts tomorrow, meeting today about a stidkid school; related to my earlier frustrations and "bad mama" feelings that I pushed too gently before (based on what I now know)

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

your child chose wisely where to live bichon

12:13 pm

bichon

I certainly wouldn't mind visiting Seattle. Been there a couple oftimes and liked what I saw

12:16 pm

stidmama

this is why I am glad we moved away from the Tidewater region when I was so young! We rarely have that kind of temp/humidity

12:16 pm

bichon

Well, the bockick an the boychickle live 3,000 miles away

12:17 pm

stidmama

i haven't seen anything good lately, have kinda gone off movies after a few disappointments

2:26 pm

Pinikula

I don't go to the movies much anymore; no one to go with; no fun alone.

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

this is on tv...I hate going to movies with people, oddly, but I am just antisocial in general...

2:28 pm

Pinikula

I liked going to them with my kids...perhaps when my gd visits this summer...

2:29 pm

Pinikula

no problem watching them at home alone...

2:29 pm

dofith

Lessm embarrassing to fall asleep at home...

2:29 pm

Pinikula

redturtlehead

Oh my. Oh no!

2:32 pm

Pinikula

she wrote me over the weekend (to my personal email)...

2:33 pm

Pinikula

...about could they rely on me to be at work on time because someone needed to get into the workroom (1/2 hour after my normal arrival)...

2:33 pm

redturtlehead

Hmmmm.

2:34 pm

Pinikula

it's the first time in 5 years that my daily hours have been questioned...

2:34 pm

Pinikula

...and the party that NEEDED the friggin' room didn't show up until 20mins AFTER the designated time.

2:34 pm

2:47 pm

Minski

I went to the gym today. They claim the a/c is on but I doubt it. I took an almost cold shower when I was done because I was so overheated I was seeing stars and I didn't even work out that hard.

2:47 pm

Jellen

Hi, red...*sets fan on HIGH*

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

Good nIght dofith!!!! See you tomorrow in the chat.

2:51 pm

son is hanging in there - his cath is scheduled for July 6. Its hard keeping him down - he still wants to run around - and 61 days red - I think that is good too

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

good night dofith

2:51 pm

Kazzer99

i have started doing this in the evenings because I am out of the house before the flip now (at 6am in the UK)

2:51 pm

Minski

Hubby and I had our honeymoon in Australia in early June. It was perfect touristing weather but there weren't many beach days. We didn't mind though. We are more the hiking types than the sit on the beach types. We did go snorkeling on the great barrier reef though. That was spectacular!

2:52 pm

Kazzer99

keep coming back dofith

2:53 pm

dofith

Lucky Minski! Never been to G B R - one day!! It's cheaper for us to go to Asia, we're so far from the east coast.

2:53 pm

dofith

Kazzer - no choice! I'm hooked!

2:54 pm

redturtlehead

Minski, I bet that was incredible. I want to try taht someday, probably shoudl do it before the Fl keys are ruined by the oil

2:54 pm

jillibus

see you next time, dofith!

2:54 pm

Minski

The farthest west we got was Ayres Rock/Alice Springs. That was one of the highlights of our trip, after Sydney of course.

2:54 pm

redturtlehead

61 days is awesome

2:55 pm

Minski

The trick is to do it for your honeymoon when your parents are paying for the trip. We haven't been on another spectacular trip since then and we have been married for 8 years.

2:56 pm

Riverdance

thanks - time for me to go - see you all tomorrow

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

bye river...

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

I have been meaning to make several trips, but work seems to be getting in my way. alot.

2:56 pm

jillibus

13 to go but must grab some lunch now and retrieve the laundry from the washing machine -- cul8r!

2:56 pm

Minski

Too late RTH. They will never admit how far or how much damage that oil is causing and we will never know the full extent of it. This spill has farreaching future implications.

2:57 pm

jillibus

bye river!

2:57 pm

redturtlehead

Well, If I go next week Minki, I could probably still see things. I am just busy with work... plus there are a lot of touristas now.

I need to vent - ignore this if you want, I don't care at this point.....Mr. Hate said he needed a few hours here at the house this weekend to get his stuff from the garage and the shed. So I took the kids to Rhode Island for the day to visit my dad and his wife. This morning I got an email from Mr. Hate, saying was I aware I had violated the terms of our temporary agreement by taking the kids out of MAssachusetts without submitting a written itinerary.

I have no idea if it's a real issue or not. I specifically remember asking my lawyer about that clause, and she assured me it's only to do with overnights and such, not grandparent visits.

Trifioso

meanwhile, he has some guy named "jim" living in the house -- so I guess moving your male lover into the house where your kids spend their weekends must not violate anything?

4:28 pm

was thinking that maybe being "hungry" is partly needing to refill fluids and electrolytes. Possibly eating from fresh fruit and protein with a drink of water or juice would stave the hunger and be nutritious without overloading calories.

there are lots of words in there petit vaurien but if you need help, click on Lickety's Babble Clues that is printed in green close to the bottom. He gives you the first 2 letters of words and tells you how many letters are in each word. It speeds things up quite a bit when you get stuck.

6:02 pm

petit vaurien

g thx bugsaW!

6:03 pm

Bugsaw

Lots of us use it but some of us wait until we get at least half the words on our own first. It depends on how long you have been playing. It takes a few times to get your brain working in circles!

Here is another story of clues fr4/8 Minveryork. My sister's birthday is an5/10 so my family&I decided to have a surprise party for her.We thought af5/16 40 years,she ea4/4ed one. We didn't in6/30 her kids of the party either. My nephew can be a me 4/5 br 4/6 and we fe6/30 he may ruin the surprise. We wanted to have the surprise party at the Lake House where my sister lives, but we were unable to re4/4 it so we had it at her house. Even though her house has AC, I wo4/8 a sundress because it was hot.Although there were many phone calls between her husband and my other sister,she didn't in5/16 anything was going on We managed to accomplish the fe 4/7 of keeping the surprise party a secret. I believe her mi4/6 was in a mi 5/12 me 5/12l state of shock when we all ro4/4ed SURPRISE!We invited family and friends that she is fo 4/8 of. The party fa 5/18 well in that there was a lot of food&a lot of guests. The weather was nothing to fr4/7 about either because it was a gorgeous day.All the guests brought some kind of appetizer. My mom was in charge of all the me 4/5. We had chicken and ham.We had hot dogs & ta5/10 tots for the kids. My other sister brought a Raspberry Ta4/4&I made a fe 4/7 cheese appetizer which I made that mo4/5ing. I was a big ea5/10 that evening.In fact,I ate so much that I fa 6/30 for the rest of the evening.There was also alcohol being served,but drinking was mo 8/50. Nobody got wasted. My dad or 6/21 a speech about my sister.Was supposed to leave at 10:00, but could not te 4/4 myself away from the party.The party did not start to wi4/9 until midnight.I was wo4/8 out by the end of it. Sister ra5/12 her party being the best birthday party ever. I hope you took no 4/4 of some of my clues. Now I am going to get off my re 4/4 and make my kitchen ne4/4.Hubby always thinks it looks messy and wishes it looked ne 5/10. Then I'll be here off and on to give some mo 4/5 clues if anyone needs

72 Temple Owl

dcseain

8:24 pm

coke isn't bad for you....if you want to clean a toilet... or blood off the pavement..

8:24 pm

stidmama

hey m! so.. this dance festival. Is it "open" like the one in Tacoma was so our stidkid could come watch?

8:24 pm

dcseain

really stid?

8:24 pm

stidmama

later TO! ((hugs))

8:24 pm

m9f9l

bye TO!! did you firework??

8:24 pm

m9f9l

8:24 pm

8:25 pm

dcseain

LOL

8:25 pm

stidmama

okay. at the rose center-thingy on the east side of the river?

8:25 pm

stidmama

"bituminous coal"

8:25 pm

m9f9l

8:26 pm

m9f9l

mckenzie

8:26 pm

stidmama

hm. okay.

8:26 pm

dcseain

yes, that type of coal comes from mines all over PA, WV, VA, and KY

8:26 pm

m9f9l

you can use coke for all sorts of stuff.. just like I don't drink tea..but I'm swabbing it on my arms right now!!!

8:26 pm

stidmama

okay *looking at googlemaps*

8:27 pm

m9f9l

and it's friday at 7, sat at 2 and 7

8:28 pm

stidmama

okay, not bad. we could make the 2 pm on Saturday without having to get up too awfully earlier

8:29 pm

m9f9l

cool!

8:29 pm

m9f9l

he could bring his best friend

8:30 pm

stidmama

hm. I

8:30 pm

stidmama

I

8:30 pm

stidmama

I'll ask his friend if he wants to spend the day with us. I think it might be kind of fun for him, too. (good idea)

8:31 pm

m9f9l

road trip!!!

8:32 pm

m9f9l

we could have lunch before.. or get together after..?

8:32 pm

m9f9l

i love car trips with my kids.. they really are a good chance to talk

8:34 pm

dcseain

ro5 is dance i've not danced in decades :) i used to dance a LOT as a youngster

8:34 pm

stidmama

I think stidkid would like to do supper after, unless that will be too much of a push for your daughter?

8:35 pm

stidmama

I bet you did, seain, and I bet you were GOOD! I suppose I danced one or two when I was a lass, but not since we returned to Washington (read that, 30 years)

8:35 pm

m9f9l

they don't get together with family inbetween those sat dances..(I think)). at least that's how it was last time

8:36 pm

m9f9l

so I wouldn't have her to get back or anything

8:36 pm

stidmama

okay, how about... you set the time and the place and we'll be there? I think stidkid (and his friend if he comes) would like to meet your dancer, but of course if that would make her nervous no worries.

8:39 pm

m9f9l

I don't think *I'M* even gonna see her... they're having youth conference which is running right into the festival... at least I think that's how it's working.. and then between the performances they stay at the stadium and all have pizza or something..

8:40 pm

stidmama

LOL okay, after then, and we can talk as long as we like. And can afford the food for the teen.

8:43 pm

dcseain

it amazing how a splash of soy sauce paste can brighten up a dish

8:44 pm

stidmama

true that, seain

8:44 pm

Jacula

I'm so excited. My kids got me a ticket to go with them to Ozzy Osbourne's Intimate Night in Birmingham UK. I know it's not going to be quiet.

8:44 pm

stidmama

what fun, Jac! how are you doing? haven't seen you in a while.

8:45 pm

Jacula

But, having got tickets, we will be part of a smll audience (by US standards).

8:45 pm

dcseain

how wonderful, Jac!

8:45 pm

dcseain

smaller crowds make for nice shows

8:45 pm

m9f9l

wow..I didn't know Ozzy was still performing.

8:45 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid - I'm doing very well. Hope you are, too?

8:45 pm

Jacula

8:46 pm

I am well enough, dealing with teen angst, but that's nothing new! *sigh*

Barb's Horses

hi again

9:05 pm

m9f9l

hay sixty!!!!

9:05 pm

m9f9l

hi barb

9:06 pm

Jacula

Dr_God sent me an email earlier, and all of you, too, I imagine, asking what features we'd like on Babble, what we like and don't like etc. I'd still like an 'edit' button'. I once used to think we also needed and 'ignore' button (for trolls) but I think we've proved that as a group we can handle them over the years.

9:06 pm

Barb's Horses

congrats sixty

9:06 pm

welki

hello, babblers :)

9:06 pm

Jacula

Well done, sixty!

9:06 pm

Barb's Horses

oops forgot to do something...bye again geesh

9:06 pm

sixty7stang13

Must call it a night need to get things ready for work tomorrow. Good night all. : )

9:06 pm

welki

my wish list included access to old grids (with no connection to stats), for the times we have short, quick grids ... and for private messaging

9:07 pm

stidmama

LOL hi/bye barb

9:07 pm

Jacula

Hi welki and hi and 'bye Barbs Horses.

9:07 pm

stidmama

YAY sixty!

9:07 pm

stidmama

and hey welki

9:07 pm

welki

(not just access, but the ability to enter words online)

9:08 pm

stidmama

I was thinking it might be nice to be able to choose the color scheme... like the "skins" some of the web browsers do

9:08 pm

stidmama

I like being able to work old grids!

9:08 pm

dcseain

ah, make the old grids like the ones in ironsoduko?

9:08 pm

dcseain

that would be cool

9:08 pm

m9f9l

you don't like orange on green???LOL

9:08 pm

stidmama

It would be really cool, too, if we could put the chat right next to the grid (for those of us with really teeny screens)

9:08 pm

dcseain

er, ironsodoku

9:09 pm

Jacula

welki - private messaging would be a nice feature, but we can do that on BabAnon. However, the lady that set Babblers' Anonymous (BabAnon) up hasn't been seen in years and I think payment for the site comes down to the rest of us (thank you generous souls).

9:09 pm

stidmama

actually, I LIKE the color scheme, but pink and cobalt or pink and forest might be nice, too

9:09 pm

welki

brb

9:09 pm

stidmama

Jac, swmbo stops by from time to time and I have full access as a moderator to BabAnon

9:10 pm

Jacula

Thec colour scheme is fine by me as it is. The grid is on theleft, my words next to that and the chat onthe right next to that. I've no quibbles with the layout.

9:10 pm

dcseain

i agree w/jac about colours and layout

9:11 pm

m9f9l

I like the layout too

9:11 pm

m9f9l

and the colors are ok.

9:11 pm

m9f9l

it would be kind of fun to mix them up a little though.

9:11 pm

stidmama

sometimes I have to scroll horizontally to read chat and see grid...

9:12 pm

Jacula

Stid - I'm the other moderator on there! Haven't seen SWMBO in about 2 years. I go in to put stats when needed, and occasionally trawls through the member list and kick out the prono and jusdt trying to sell something ones.

9:12 pm

m9f9l

stid... at the bottom right corner of your screen.. what does the % say?

9:12 pm

stidmama

I saw her last month, Jac -- you being on the other side of the pond probably doesn't help timing! LOL

9:12 pm

Jacula

Kick out the porno, I meant!

9:12 pm

stidmama

what do you mean, m?

9:13 pm

stidmama

ah, I wondered who was doing the member upkeep. thanks for that.

9:13 pm

Jacula

stid - I will have to go in and check back later. Does SWMBO still Babble?

9:13 pm

m9f9l

on your computer screen. down in the right hand corner, right above the time.. is there a percentage?

9:13 pm

stidmama

yes, that is what I mean... she pops in occasionally!

9:14 pm

Jacula

stid - Yupp, that's me and I keep that stats list tidy and up to date, also.

9:14 pm

stidmama

no, I have the bar on the left to maximize vertical screen. no %. I use a netbook, so very small screen.

9:14 pm

stidmama

And sometimes I babble from my cellphone... *guilty mama look*

9:14 pm

m9f9l

my dd uses a netbook too. she still has the % thing.

9:15 pm

stidmama

with my old eyes, if I make things small enough to actually all fit, I can't read the text... *sigh*

9:15 pm

Jacula

I just play on my pc.

9:16 pm

dcseain

i play on our macbook, or occasionally on my sister's pc

9:16 pm

m9f9l

wow. on my screen there's a lot of blue scales on either side of everything.

9:16 pm

Jacula

My Other Half gets me the grid from his cellphone when we are on holiday, but I only play on paper.

9:16 pm

dcseain

i shrink the screen horizontally to hide most of the blue

9:17 pm

Jacula

I don't have any blue stuff.

9:18 pm

stidmama

I like the blue... but on this screen never get to see more than a tiny bit at the top

9:18 pm

Jacula

Maybe my internet is fast enough and smart enough to hide all of that? I also have a large monitor. Maybe that's why when I try to chat on Word Tornado on FB, I'm often not seen by other players?

9:19 pm

Jacula

I just thought they were all selfish and rude!

9:19 pm

stidmama

OH! one more thing I would like, is being able to mouse-click the tile buttons to make words. Sometimes when I am one-handed using a mouse would make life a lot easier

9:20 pm

m9f9l

oh yeah! that would be nice for NAK!

9:20 pm

stidmama

yes, that is possible Jac. I know that I have sometimes missed connections with people for reasons that are similar

9:20 pm

Jacula

I think the only thing, if I could only have one, to ask for, is an edit button.

9:20 pm

stidmama

what do you mean by edit button, Jac?

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

Hi and Congratulations on Prodom M(

9:20 pm

Jacula

Private chat, as a bonus, would be nice.

9:21 pm

car.eeyore

Hi all! Sorry to interrupt, but I need a clue for that top row E please?

9:21 pm

stidmama

hey lady! hey car! (fishy norse saga ed 4)

Got it! TY Stid!

Waves Hello.

9:22 pm

dcseain

oh, is that what that word is. ty, stid

9:22 pm

dcseain

hi, herin and car

9:22 pm

Jacula

stid - I mean that when you've hit send and you've typed a load of rubbish, you could edit it and send. Forums usually have a 'preview' button' so you can edit before you send. But, if you've sent anyway and see the mistake(s) later, an edit button means you can get it right.

9:22 pm

car.eeyore

Hi Herin!

Hi Herin.

9:23 pm

yeah.. I have a big lag time anyway when I post a comment...

9:23 pm

car.eeyore

I know..and I am not staying either! Off to get the boys to bed! Just wanted to finish up with NBT!

9:23 pm

herinfernallady

OK Roll Call time. Hi : Car, Jac, DC, Stid, M9. Hope I haven't missed anyone

9:23 pm

stidmama

lag should not usually happen, unless someone has a hugely big icon....

9:24 pm

Jacula

Mind you, having those buttons would probably mean we wouldn't get the funniess, especially the rude words that always seems to appear in upper case.

9:24 pm

stidmama

well done, car!

9:24 pm

car.eeyore

Hi and bye all! Have a great night! Hopefully I can pop in for a "visit" one of these days!

9:25 pm

9:26 pm

it is that kind of grid today, herin

9:40 pm

Jacula

I did the grid hours ago, but the ar5/10 was one of the last I found. The ar5/12 (what knights wear spelled the AAmerican way, I did get early on. I'm learning to remember those spellings.)

9:41 pm

stidmama

hello shoo! ((hugs)) hope you are well?

9:41 pm

m9f9l

9:42 pm

Jacula

I'm finished, as of many hours ago, so can clue, if needed.

9:42 pm

stidmama

Happy to help when I am "here" -- somewhat distracted. wrenched my hip today and back on crutches for the evening. Hope I will be ambulatory tomorrow.

9:42 pm

stidmama

actually, shouldn't you be sound asleep, mrs. night-owl? it's 4 in the morning for you, yes?

9:42 pm

m9f9l

oh no!!!! stid!

9:43 pm

stidmama

it's a predictable event, m. It was pretty stable for about three weeks before, so I anticipate being back to walkable fairly soon.

9:44 pm

m9f9l

you mean you're regularly on crutches?

9:44 pm

mkg

need other ar words clued. ar 5 10 please?

9:44 pm

Jacula

stid - sorry to hear about your injury but please don't have a go at me about when I sleep, especially not just after Father's Day in UK. (You do read my blog, don't you?)

9:44 pm

stidmama

I looked at the pho thanh, and that would be a nice one to try, methinks.

9:44 pm

stidmama

I clued all ar 5 words mkg

9:44 pm

9:47 pm

stidmama

I have a bad hip, m; have spent the better part of hte last 2 years on crutches or cane; gave up on orthopedists for the nonce, they could confirm no damage to bone, butwere clueless why it slips out of the socket.

9:47 pm

m9f9l

yikes!

9:47 pm

mkg

sorry i am still missing ar 5 10 and second ar 5 12. guess i dont know the words.

9:47 pm

bull fight ar5

9:48 pm

stidmama

add a consonant between the two vowles at the end of the ar 4/4 for the 5/10

9:48 pm

Jacula

stid - the round end at the top of your thigh bone has probably worn away a bit and so is not a perfect fit to your hiip socket now.

9:48 pm

m9f9l

don't they call where they operate an ar*** too?

9:49 pm

shooshoo

k

9:49 pm

stidmama

no, it is actually in perfect condition jac, as is the socket. however, the tests they ran can't check for soft tissue damage or absence.

9:49 pm

mkg

ty got that one.

9:49 pm

stidmama

go mkg go!

9:49 pm

Jacula

Have they checked your shoes (heels of mostly) for wear to see how you walk, stid?

9:49 pm

mkg

ty. well now need second ar 6 and the second ar 5 12. after the warrior breastplate etc.

9:50 pm

stidmama

and I was NOT about to let them cut me open when it was clearly on the mend. Although, if this doesn't resolve, I might end up needing to get surgery next summer. no time for surgery/recovery now.

9:50 pm

stidmama

second AR 6 is AR + backside

9:50 pm

m9f9l

get some dansko's!

9:50 pm

Jacula

Sometimes, you might have a weird walk, somethimes due to other factors. They just have to keep looking, stid.

9:51 pm

Jacula

Stid - I was thinking more of an x-ray type video of you walking, running etc., if the medical profession can do such a thing. Or maybe someone can just watch you doing those things with a professional eye?

9:52 pm

Jacula

'Bye Herin.

9:52 pm

m9f9l

I don't know keene's... will look.

9:52 pm

mkg

still missing second ar 5 12. dont see a clue either. lost it.

9:53 pm

stidmama

I might go see a physical therapist who could do it, but this (like most times) is the result of a specific, sudden twisting motion when the leg was being used. It displaces laterally, usually. If Tom can get it back in place this evening I'll be okay for anything by the end of the week.

9:53 pm

Jacula

ar + robot ending, mkg.

9:54 pm

mkg

ty got it.

9:54 pm

stid - maybe so, but it is still probably the result of some body stance that is not quite right, either through weight or use, or some other factor.

funny how pets have that knack to get the name they want... ;0)

yep. he's a good boy. I never had a shepherd before him... and he is neurotic from his early life, but so lovely. We adore him.

Or rather, I adore him, Tom tolerates him. As long as he doesn't get up on the furniture! LOL (this pic is from this morning)

My mom and dad had two german shepherds, (one at a time) they were great dogs, one girl one boy. I got to know the girl, Trixie, quite well as my dad had died by then and I was driving mom back and forth from MT to CA. I fell in love with that dog.

10:53 pm

Jillyjill

lol....the dog will lay when Tim's awas!!!

Hey Jane!! Thanks for the invite for July music. I only have a 7:30 Mass so far and am gone the first two weeks.

10:58 pm

harpjane

I'll play with you that last weekend if I'm around.

10:58 pm

Jillyjill

It's a date!

I guess my icon is kind of bad taste. Better go change it!

10:59 pm

dcseain

congrats, m9

10:59 pm

Jillyjill

YAY m9!!

10:59 pm

dcseain

pretty pup, stid

10:59 pm

m9f9l

why bad taste??

11:00 pm

m9f9l

you mean the bear?? or did you already change it?

11:00 pm

Jillyjill

Yah, it's a hoot!

11:01 pm

harpjane

I just changed it, someone was killed by a grizzly near yellowstone last weekend.

11:01 pm

dcseain

and fyi, velux blankets repel animal hair

11:01 pm

harpjane

it's TELEPHONES now

11:01 pm

dcseain

oh, dear jane. that happens often?

11:02 pm

dcseain

hah! One ringy-dingy!

11:03 pm

harpjane

No, it was an odd situation. The last bear-related death was over 20 years ago. A man who lived in the area, very bear wise, happened across a grizzly that was semi-tranquilized by researchers.

11:04 pm

m9f9l

here is our doggie: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=
956394&l=5e5693916d&id=1062296810 he gave us a scare this am!

11:04 pm

harpjane

They had left him there to wake up, posted signs etc. The evidence suggests that the hiker thought it was dead and approached it while it was groggy.

11:05 pm

Jillyjill

Jane, some friends (actually your neighbors) got back from Yellowstone, most of our fav trails are closed due to grizzlies.

11:05 pm

m9f9l

oh that's too bad about the hiker!

11:05 pm

harpjane

what trails were closed? the pelican valley is always closed this time of year

11:06 pm

harpjane

Yes it's a tragedy m9

11:06 pm

Oh yeah, there's probably still a lot of salmon feeding going on.

11:07 pm

harpjane

Did you see my Facebook graph, jill?

11:08 pm

Jillyjill

I'm not sure we're going to get our fall hiking trip in this year :(

11:08 pm

Jillyjill

No, gimmee a sec.

11:10 pm

m9f9l

11:10 pm

harpjane

Yes we are church musicians together in Hamilton Montana

11:10 pm

Jillyjill

stid, she's the one that clued, or was it lured, me into babble!!

11:10 pm

m9f9l

I missed jilli's pup...

11:10 pm

stidmama

11:11 pm

stidmama

11:11 pm

dcseain

11:11 pm

harpjane

Well I said I would do FV for a month, and I'm planning on a BIG FOURTH OF JULY finish, with red white and blue crops!

Jillyjill

I LOVED your status statement!!

11:11 pm

harpjane

stid, it's wasn't hard....

11:11 pm

m9f9l

<<< looking for jilly's pup!!

11:11 pm

harpjane

11:11 pm

m9f9l

oh.. it's at fb??

11:11 pm

dcseain

tinyurl at 1109

11:12 pm

harpjane

nobody's commented on it....I don't think people from urban areas get it.

11:12 pm

m9f9l

LOL....that's MY pup!

11:13 pm

dcseain

oh, my bad :) adorable nonetheless which breed is he?

11:13 pm

Jillyjill

M9...it was stid's pup we were discussing. My pup passed away in February. I'll have to repost a pix of her for me here.

11:14 pm

m9f9l

he's a "springboard". which isn't a breed. He's half springer spaniel and half border collie

11:14 pm

Jillyjill

Jane, LOVED the grid, I found it. Also, did you read Matt's column he posted?

11:14 pm

Jillyjill

LOL M9!!

11:14 pm

dcseain

ah, the markings were very spring spaniel, which is why i asked :)

11:15 pm

m9f9l

huh.. I think he looks more border

11:16 pm

dcseain

my aunt breeds welsh springers, and the facial markings are typical of welsh/english springers :)

11:16 pm

dcseain

not so much the color, though

11:16 pm

m9f9l

his name is black. we saw one of his brothers and the brother was same markings but brown and white

11:17 pm

dcseain

neat!

11:17 pm

harpjane

yes, I sent it to him too I think Jilly!

11:18 pm

m9f9l

he's lying at my feet.. apparently having a dream.

11:18 pm
