Hi Andree!

Sprite, your soccer team's looking good.
2:34 am
sprite

yeah, I know... and the utter madness around it is huge. I am not happy. Looks like we will have a Germany - Netherlands finale :(
2:35 am
Christine

Go Netherlands!!
2:36 am
Andree

is the country going crazy sprite
2:36 am
sprite

even after all this time, people still bring up WW2 when there are Germany - Netherland things. Let's hope all will be peaceful.
2:36 am
sprite

totally, Andree.
2:37 am
Christine

When I was a kid, I remember that Hollan was always touted as 'family' - perhaps because of William of Orange being one of our kings, and also because, in the east end of London, there were a lote of Dutch people who came over during the war.
2:37 am
Andree

ooh i hope you win
2:37 am
sprite

it is vice versa too, we in Holland feel a kind of kinship with England.
2:39 am
Christine

Sprite, I was a little kid during WWII, in east end of London, and it's still fresh in my mind. My Dad used to say he knew ordinary German soldiers just wanted to go home to their families, as he did, but it's buried too deep in my little EastEnd Jewish mind.
2:41 am
Christine

We had a small piece of land on Canvey Island, in the mouth of the Thames; the Dutch had reclaimed much of the land, by a series of dykes, in the 16th or 17th century. Plus, two such small countries conquering much of the world (I'm into world domination, if England's at the top).
2:41 am
sprite

War wounds are deep, especially psychological ones. Memories are still very much alive in our family.
And yet it is true, most German soldiers were young boys who'd much rather been home.
2:43 am
sprite

I secretly hope we lose, Andree. Not half the damage if we lose. Winning seems to make people lose their minds and morals completely.
2:43 am
Andree

better not tell that to your fellow countrymen,lol
2:44 am
sprite

lol no

i was born during ww2 and grew up when it was fresh in our minds, some hurdles are hard to conquer

hi sprite -- of course, Canada feels very connected to the Netherlands, what with the royalty coming here during WW2.
2:47 am
sprite

Andree, my father was shot in his leg on Liberation Day, by a German soldier who got crazy. He was a small boy then. The wound never healed, bone was damaged. Even though common sense dictates otherwise, he has never forgiven the Germans as a whole.

3:00 am

Andree, I am a bit younger but I don't like this whole change thing either ;)
Especially because it will not work with Lickety's browser. I am so used to the chat window. I hope Jamie will finally change that aspect of his site!

3:02 am
jillibus

I don't use twitter either but that's all you have to do, just click on that link.
3:02 am
Andree

i don't use expert but still don't see why something that isn't broken needs to be fixed
3:02 am
sprite

I see you the site you gave that he will "incorporate as much of Lickety's stuff as I can."
I hope he got in touch with Lickety about that.
3:02 am
jillibus

It takes you to Jamie's spot, and he has posted links to the diagrams etc.
3:03 am
sprite

I see on* the site
3:03 am
jillibus

I hope so too -- wish mrp was reading the chat -- she might know
3:04 am
sprite

from the looks of it, Andree, it is going to be made easier to play. For instance you will be able to rotate the grid. Less need to push your brain.
3:04 am
Andree

sprite, my brain is mush and needs pushing
3:05 am
sprite

I like a challenge, that is part of my love for babble. If it becomes too easy to play, I won't play anymore. We will see.
3:05 am
Andree

and on that note i must go organise myself some dinner, bye all
3:05 am

enjoy, Andree!
3:06 am
jillibus

my brain is mush too and won't improve unless I go to bed so goodnight!
3:06 am
Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. Just to add a word to the conversation, I appreciate Babble expert as well, but this morning is a case in point - some features are redundant if Lickety doesn't post a list.
3:06 am
Atalante

hello hello :)
3:06 am
jillibus

Yes, but there's still a link to morewords and such in Expert.
3:07 am
sprite

Hi Haz, hi Ata
3:07 am
Haz1558

LIckety has made himself indispensable to many babblers, maybe Dr_G is just introducing features to relieve the pressure on one man, who, after all, is not a babbler and who does it out of a positive feeling for babble and babblers.
3:07 am
Haz1558

Ata! Hello, how are you?
3:07 am
sprite

Lickety is very loyal in posting clues. I don't think he should be expected to do them every day.
3:08 am
Haz1558

Agreed, jillibus, that's why I said some features are redundant, not all.
3:08 am
jillibus

So hi and bye!!! Bed calls! *poof*
3:08 am
sprite

actually, the only feature I use is the chat feature. But that is one great feature.
3:08 am
Atalante

tired! Got back from sister's on SUnday evening, then ended up spending 13 hours dive marshalling a few miles off FOlkestone yesterday!
3:08 am
Haz1558

It's expecting a great deal of anyone to expect them to do this every day, I agree, sprite, but there is uproar and consternation when he doesn't.
3:09 am
Haz1558

Goodnight, jillibus.
3:09 am
Haz1558

Hope you can get some rest, Ata. How do you marshall a dive?
3:10 am
Atalante

you wave your arms around a lot and write down Important Statistics
3:10 am
sprite

sad enough. Babble should be a challenge, and the clues should be considered a bonus for those who want them. Maybe the next step will be posting the actual words next to the grid?
3:10 am
City 17 dweller

Can I ask a question of the long-time Babblers? Before Lickety, was it SOP to give clues with the first two letters & stats, or has that arisen from Lickety's list? Just curious...
3:10 am
Christine

Did someone answer you? mo8/75 and of8/75.
3:11 am
Atalante

it was ok, city. but people didn't ask every 3 seconds
3:11 am
City 17 dweller

Thank you Christine :)
3:11 am
Christine

we gave the clues that way, back in 2004, and I think that was pre-Licketty.
3:11 am
City 17 dweller

I was just wondering about the format, Ata, just a moment of idle curiosity
3:12 am
sprite

in the early days people did their best not to ruin the fun/challenge for others. Clues were ok if they required some thinking. And as Ata said, asking clues was only done after a lot of thinking with the own brain.
3:12 am
Haz1558

I think the format kind of evolved among babblers themselves, and then Brandyjack incorporated into a list that he posted.
3:12 am
rubyfoo

hello, I'm back.
3:12 am
Atalante

it was more contributary - when someone found that last P word or C word or whatever, they'd give a hint in the log
3:12 am
Haz1558

Hello, ruby.
3:13 am
sprite

the format is from before Lickety. Brandyjack started posting full 2nd letter stats on a daily base.
3:13 am
rubyfoo

Hello Sprite; I've been thinking about you a lot lately, especially after "being in" Holland on the weekend via the Tour de France. And then the soccer victory last night! Go Oranje!
3:13 am
sprite

hi rubyfoo
3:13 am
Haz1558

LIckety's list, being so accessible, changed babble completely, in that babblers suddenly began to expect to finish. That wasn't the case before.
3:13 am
rubyfoo

hello Haz
3:13 am
rubyfoo

hello Ata.
3:13 am
rubyfoo

hello Ata.
3:13 am
Atalante

hello hello Ruby!
3:13 am
City 17 dweller

Ah, it's nice that it's evolved like that... I'm interested to see if it's made some sort of official standing on the changed site
3:14 am
rubyfoo

Could I please have a hug? Husband is being really nasty, for a change and I am so upset that I'm trembling and on the verge of tears!
3:14 am
sprite

exactly Haz. Now people are mad at Lickety when there is no list, because they feel robbed of their 'right' to finish the grid.
3:14 am
Haz1558

The expectation of being able to finish, led to the idea that you had failed if you didn't finish, and that led to people asking/demanding more and more help.
3:14 am
Atalante

poor ruby! *hugs*
3:14 am
City 17 dweller

:::hugs::: ruby, even though we don't know each other that well... hope that's okay, dear.
3:15 am
sprite

The stats I really liked (which we don't have anymore) were the first letter stats. When somebody managed to finish, he posted the total number of words and how many words started with a certain letter. Letter, not tile!
3:15 am
sprite

((rubyfoo))
3:15 am
Christine

Big hugs, Rubyfoo -- has he ANY idea how large a family you have in Babble-land?
3:16 am
Sally-catlover

Good morning, and {{hugs}} to ruby.
3:16 am
rubyfoo

thank you
3:16 am

hiya Sally
3:16 am
Haz1558

On the other hand, keeping babble as difficult as possible doesn't put money in the babble account - money has to be considered.
3:16 am
rubyfoo

he hates family: his, mine, even my wonderful virtual one
3:16 am
Haz1558

Good morning, Sally.
3:16 am
rubyfoo

hello Sally
3:17 am
Christine

Well, poof on him.
3:17 am
City 17 dweller

On the other hand, Haz, I think it might be the spirit of cooperation that makes the community here so special; it has had a positive effect, too.
3:17 am
sprite

well I suggested to drG that some options, like that stats, would be made hideable. So you can choose your own amount of challenge. Should be SO easy to integrate.
3:17 am
rubyfoo

since I stopped looking at my ranking and despair of finishing, I am enjoying the grid more
3:17 am
Sally-catlover

Just read back a bit. Sprite, some of these things like being able to rotate the grid, are options. I sometimes play Scramble on my phone, and I very rarely rotate it although I could.
3:17 am
sprite

City, actually the cooperation was even better before. We needed eachother more and we knew better how to help eachother.
3:17 am
Christine

Choclits on the way to Rubyfoo
3:17 am
Atalante

me too, Sprite. I'm worried that these clue hints won't be hideable
3:18 am
rubyfoo

thank you christine
3:18 am
sprite

that would be really stupid, if you don't mind my saying so, Ata. Nothing is as easy to do as to make a certain part of a site hideable. Lickety did a great job with that.
3:18 am
Haz1558

Yes, the spirit of cooperation has always existed in babble, and a spirit of tolerance as well.
3:19 am
Atalante

I hope so! I said so on |DrG's pics, and of course everyone else just said it looked amazing, and now I feel all killjoy-y!!
3:19 am
City 17 dweller

Fair point, Sprite and Haz :)
3:20 am
rubyfoo

since I never got to the point of using lists, maybe this won't change anything for me. My goal is to reach at least half and some days, even more. But the only 2 or 3 times I've finished, in more than 6 months, FM and Haz and Hego carried me across the finish line
3:20 am
sprite

it was the same thing with the pro change. We were invited to be critical, but were expected to pay compliments.
3:20 am
City 17 dweller

There's a line between giving the customer what they want, and 'pandering' ... if Babble becomes too easy, it loses it's appeal for me.
3:20 am
sprite

am right with you on that, City
3:22 am
City 17 dweller

I can't imagine, though, that DrG would sell out the game like that - the whole point of this damn grid is to drive a person nuts. Lose that, what have you got? ;)
3:22 am
rubyfoo

has he actually made it easier?
3:23 am
rubyfoo

what if you're already nuts?
3:23 am
sprite

anyway, usually the hubbub about changes to come is bigger than the actual change, so I will wait and see. I attributed as best as I could, the rest is out of my hands anyway.
3:23 am
Sally-catlover

We don't really know yet ruby. Progress in the Babble Community group on Facebook.
3:23 am
Haz1558

Sprite, you contributed, not attributed.
3:24 am
sprite

ah! Thank you. When does one attribute?
3:24 am
rubyfoo

when quoting something
3:24 am
Sally-catlover

When you quote someone.
3:24 am
Haz1558

When you are saying that someone did something, giving someone credit for an action.
3:24 am
Atalante

I attributed the quote "I love Terra" to you, Sprite
3:25 am
sprite

wonderful. Thanks all :)
See, that is one thing that makes Babble special. People who are willing to teach!
3:25 am
rubyfoo

BTW, Sprite, was that Terra who ran out in the road during the Tour? (Only kidding)
3:25 am

One has attributes - good qualities as well as attributing something to someone else

they never said, but several riders were mildly hurt!
3:27 am
Haz1558

Well done, anike.
3:27 am
sprite

lol rubyfoo, you remind me of the clip of Living Doll, by Cliff Richard and the Young Ones... "But I feel sorry for the elephant!"
3:27 am
rubyfoo

congrats anike
3:28 am
anike

TY. Just remembered the load of washing I did this morning - still in the machine! Had better hang it out.

hi Kallia
3:29 am

bye anike
3:29 am
Kallia

thought I'd let those of you who were so kind about my cat the news
3:29 am
rubyfoo

hi kallia
3:29 am
Haz1558

I was just about to ask, Kallia.
3:29 am
sprite

do tell, Kallia
3:30 am
Kallia

not good, she has an aggresive carcinoma of the tongue...just off the phone from the vet
3:30 am
Haz1558

Oh dear.
3:30 am
Atalante

oh poor baby
3:30 am
rubyfoo

oh no!
3:30 am
sprite

oh am so sorry, Kallia. How awful.
3:30 am
Sally-catlover

So sorry Kallia.
3:30 am
rubyfoo

is she in pain?
3:30 am
Kallia

nothing to be done apart from keeping her comforatabele#
3:31 am
rubyfoo

that is so sad
3:31 am
Kallia

she doesn't seem to be, sleeping a lot, but she is eating a little
3:31 am
sprite

{{{{Kallia}}}}
3:31 am
rubyfoo

is she able to eat? Now is the time for her favorites: salmon, caviar, cream, whatever she loves
3:32 am
Sally-catlover

brb
3:32 am
Haz1558

I am sorry, Kallia. But rich foods might turn her stomach...
3:32 am
rubyfoo

sorry, I didn't think of that.....
3:32 am
Haz1558

(Worried that ruby's cat food bills might ruin most of us)
3:33 am
Kallia

she can only eat a little at a timel, and she is having very finely minced chicken mostly
3:33 am
Christine

City 17 Dweller - I like the quote on your profile ... I'm re-reading, and re-re-reading many books from my childhood. Old friends.
3:33 am
sprite

if nothing can be done, are you considering letting her go soon?
3:34 am
Haz1558

The time will probably come when she won't be able to eat any more - you'll know when to make the next move.
3:34 am
Kallia

well the vet says as long as she is comfortable and eating.....as soon as that goes yes we will let her go
3:34 am
sprite

if she is willing and able to eat, it probably means she isn't miserable.
3:35 am
Kallia

she seems quite content, although very quiet
3:36 am
Kallia

thanks guys, really helped to be able to come here and talk to you
3:36 am
Haz1558

I'm glad you told us, I had been wondering.
3:36 am
Kallia

weas waiting until I heard
3:36 am
Christine

How old is she, Kallia?
3:36 am
sprite

had been thinking about you and kitty, so am glad to know. Sad the news is bad though.
3:37 am
rubyfoo

that's why we're here, I think, to support each other and give appropriate hugs and choclits!
3:37 am
Kallia

8 and 1/2
3:37 am
Haz1558

Not old in cat terms at all.
3:37 am
Christine

Hugs for you and Poor-Puss.
3:37 am
Kallia

very young compared to my last cat who lived until he was 19
3:38 am
rubyfoo

{{kallia and kitty}}
3:38 am
Atalante

poor little kit :(
3:38 am
Kallia

she's sleeping on the laundry pile that was going in the wash....good excuse not to do it
3:39 am
rubyfoo

I'm sure she's comforted by the scent of "her" humans
3:39 am
Atalante

absolutely!
3:39 am

absolutely
3:39 am
Atalante

ok, breakfast time. back a bit later!

no, missed one :(
3:46 am
rubyfoo

missed the left-hand i! but at least I got the e's....
3:47 am
rubyfoo

got it!
3:47 am

wb Sally and gratz rubyfoo
3:48 am
rubyfoo

I don't know what to do. Husband is back from his walk. Should I act like nothing happened? Or just hide
3:49 am
Kallia

why, what did you do Ruby?
3:49 am
Sally-catlover

Stand up to him ruby! If he's horrible, just say, "don't speak to me like that" and walk away.
3:49 am
rubyfoo

no, he was very nasty before, for no reason, and I walked away
3:49 am
Haz1558

You're a grown woman, ruby. We can't advise from a distance when we don't know body language or anything.
3:49 am
Kallia

ah in that case tell him!
3:50 am
rubyfoo

you're right, haz, but this is getting harder and harder and there aren't any options
3:50 am
rubyfoo

fuss
3:50 am
rubyfoo

whoops, sorry
3:51 am
Sally-catlover

From this distance, ruby, it seems he knows how to pull your strings and get to you. Don't take bullying in any form.
3:51 am
Haz1558

Then it's time to draw a line in the sand and say no more. You keep telling us the difficulties, you keep knocking back suggestions, we feel kind of helpless.
3:51 am
Sally-catlover

I'm with Haz on this.
3:52 am
Kallia

me too
3:52 am
rubyfoo

but you have helped a lot and I truly appreciate it.
3:52 am
sprite

I agree. There are always options. Some aren't pleasant or comfortable, but worth considering if things are that bad.
3:52 am
Haz1558

And, to be honest, I'm really not comfortable personally with giving advice like this because I don't know all the circumstances and I don't feel qualified.
3:53 am
rubyfoo

but you sound wise, haz, I'm sorry that I made you uncomfortable
3:53 am
Kallia

Haz is wise
3:53 am
Haz1558

No, it's my peronality, ruby.
3:54 am
rubyfoo

please, babble friends, accept my apologies! I was just too upset this AM
3:54 am
Kallia

peronality? new one on me lol
3:54 am
Haz1558

I've always been very uncomfortable with intense discussions of a personal nature on babble. I'm a private person, find it hard to be as open as many others.
3:54 am
rubyfoo

sounds medical!
3:54 am
Kallia

that's me exactly Haz
3:54 am
rubyfoo

OK, I'm chastened!
3:55 am
rubyfoo

no more public implosions
3:55 am
Sally-catlover

ruby, if a situation is upsetting you, try to sit down and analyse why. Write a list if necessary. Then try to analyse what you can do about it. Only you can do that, we have never met either of you.
3:55 am
Haz1558

So, it's not that it's just you who makes me uncomfortable, ruby, it's the whole idea of lots of people joining in to give advice that I find hard. It's just me.
3:56 am
ddb4nana

hi all...is there any way to get the stats when someone is not online? I am so lost without dear Lickety.
3:56 am
Haz1558

You can implode or explode, ruby, all I'm saying is that I probably won't offer as much advice as others, not because I don't care, just because I don't feel qualified to tell you what to do.
3:56 am
sprite

I don't mind sharing of personal things. It is just hard to do more than being supportive and giving general advice based on personal experience.
3:56 am
ddb4nana

I was on earlier and volleyball mom dee had posted, but she's not on now.
3:56 am
Sally-catlover

And to add to what Haz has said, on Babble you will get such conflicting advice.
3:57 am
Haz1558

ddb, if you go to rankings, find volley there, bring up her profile and the list might be there.
3:57 am
sprite

ddb4nana, you can get to profiles through the rankings page. Ifyou search for the name, you can still access the profile.
3:57 am
ddb4nana

thanks haz
3:57 am
ddb4nana

and sprite
3:57 am
rubyfoo

but all of it is interesting and frequently I get great suggestions, e.g. Sally's pondnets
3:57 am
Haz1558

You're welcome, ddb, hope the search is fruitful.
3:57 am
Kallia

that is true Sally, but that is true of any general discussion
3:58 am
sprite

different point of view can be inspiring too.
3:58 am
licketySplitAUS

Clues are up
3:58 am
ddb4nana

easy as pie when you know how to do it...oh, lickety, thank you!
3:58 am
Haz1558

Save your search, ddb!
3:58 am
Kallia

yes, hi lickety
3:58 am
rubyfoo

that's how I feel, Sprite!
3:58 am
sprite

hi Lickety.
3:58 am
Haz1558

Thank you lickety!
3:59 am
sprite

was wondering, Lickety, has DrG contacted you about the new Babble site?
4:00 am
Haz1558

Now, how far along had we got with the scheme to have ruby's husband kidnapped and held for ransom?
4:00 am
sprite

but who would be willing to pay?
4:00 am
rubyfoo

bluebeard and the heron; that's more fun
4:00 am
Kallia

you had just mentioned it Haz
4:01 am
Kallia

well would Ruby want him back?
4:01 am
FMitch

LOL sprite and Good morning all.
4:01 am
Haz1558

Exactly. Think of it as long-term house arrest.
4:01 am
Kallia

otherwise we get stuck with him!
4:01 am
rubyfoo

he's lurking around the garden, peeking in my studio door, but didn't come to apologize. I guess I shouldn't hold my breath!
4:01 am
grannyrose

hi everyone. back from the gym. please remind me to NEVER go there at 5pm again.
4:01 am
sprite

I know the solution. Let the man live with us here for a month. He will crawl back on his belly to France and rubyfoo and he will cherish her forever.
4:01 am
Sally-catlover

Where would we imprison him? Anyone have an uninhabited castle going spare?
4:01 am
Haz1558

We'd have to find some very gullible kidnappers.
4:02 am
rubyfoo

hello FM; I've just been bad and imploded in the chog but am roundly chastized and will behave from now on
4:02 am
Haz1558

grannyrose, never EVER go to a gym at 5 pm. NEVER.
4:02 am
sprite

ouch rose, too many people?
4:02 am
FMitch

I could build a padded cell in the PB
4:02 am
rubyfoo

stinky?
4:02 am
sprite

hi FM :D
4:02 am
Kallia

hello FM
4:02 am
Haz1558

No, don't feel chastised, ruby, I was just extricating myself from the responsibility of telling you what to do.
4:03 am
Sally-catlover

What? and leave him with all the chocolate?
4:03 am
Haz1558

Hello, FM.
4:03 am
FMitch

oh no - he would be away from all he fun things
4:03 am
rubyfoo

it's OK, it helps me to be able to talk about it
4:03 am
Kallia

well if he's in a paded cell it would be another punishment, looking out at all the goodies and being unable to touch
4:03 am
sprite

I offer only once!
4:03 am
rubyfoo

I thought the padded cell was for me!
4:04 am
grannyrose

full of 20-30 somethings.sooo slim.and working out like you wouldn't believe. and me.....5'3 and more on the front and back porches than i like to admit...
4:04 am
rubyfoo

I'll put him on the next train, sprite
4:04 am
Haz1558

Said gullible kidnappers would be informed that Mr Ruby is worth a fortune, and to keep him happy in house arrest, they'd better have a TV tuned to sports channels 24/7.
4:04 am
Sally-catlover

Next time he peeks in your studio, ruby, put your tongue out at him to make him see what a child he's being! :-))
4:04 am
sprite

good decision, rubyfoo
4:04 am
Haz1558

Oh, and he's a strict teetotaller with a huge appetite for cream.
4:04 am
Kallia

I like that Sally:)
4:05 am
Sally-catlover

lol Haz.
4:05 am
rubyfoo

I think the sports channel wd make him hang himself!
4:05 am
FMitch

LOL Haz
4:05 am
Sally-catlover

Result then ruby.
4:05 am
Haz1558

The perfect solution....
4:05 am
Kallia

well maybe that's going a bit far then
4:05 am
rubyfoo

I feel a little better
4:06 am
rubyfoo

thank you all for trying to help me
4:06 am
Sally-catlover

Dr G is rather fond of the double F at the moment, isn't he.
4:06 am
Haz1558

The kidnappers would also be told that he loves herons with a passion so the cell would have pictures and statues of herons all around;
4:06 am
sprite

we can't, rubyfoo, only you can. But we can help lift your spirit a bit.
4:06 am
rubyfoo

raofl
4:06 am

you certainly do that!
4:07 am

statues of heron with koi in their beaks

nah poor man, he cannot be the only one to blame ;)
It takes two to tango, as you say... or as we say: there is no way to pull rope on your own.

slowly but surely -- i actually got dear fiance to tell me last night that i can have whatever cake i want + that for the most part, he has given in to letting me decorate however i deem fit. :-D
7:45 am

It was a long list which started with 1/2 an hour in the garden helping me move pots about and sweeping up, then he did the house. Bliss.

ahh. i enjoy learning british slang -- dear fiance is a bit of a europhile, so we like to throw it into daily convo whenever possible...heh
course, most of what i know is from my parents, so its a good 40+ years out of date or else its from BBC America. ;)

and yes, enjoyed my long weekend -- turned out to be quite busy, but got a lot done and got to see lots of friends and have lots of fun. :)

alas, despite all my best shopping efforts, still no shoes!
it seems orange shoes are only sold as sandals in the summer. hopefully i will have better luck when autumn is looming near...

Eva, I don't pass a shop without scanning it for the perfect pair of shoes for you ;)

Otherwise, is everything improving for you?
8:30 am
EvaNadine

hah. i was amazingly on-target during all of my shopping attempts this weekend. my eyes strayed a time or two, but i didnt allow myself to even try anything else on. i found 2 *potential* shoes possibilities, but they werent really what i had set out looking for.

meanwhile, i also helped darling fiance shop for work pants. :)
8:30 am
Christine

EvaNadine - stores used to dye shoes for you, can they do that to match your outfit?
8:30 am

Ooh, Christine makes a good point!
8:31 am
Judi

Good morning, one and all.
8:31 am

christine: i can still get that done, but i am having an outdoor wedding, so i dont really want to risk the dye coming off on my dress...
that is an option filed away in the back of my mind, though. :)
8:32 am
Nancy Boy

Otherwise, Christine, there's been a few problems - some new issues arising with my parents, but I won't really go into that :S life for me tends to take one step forward and then two steps back at the moment, but I'm sure everything will improve :) thanks for asking!

and what style of shoe?
8:34 am

Eva - I'm sure you could spray them with some type of waterproofing once the dye is dry. Eva - have you tried shopping online for the shoes? www.dsw.com or zappos.com are good spots.

We're having to be a little creative, Judi. Anything computer-related is too risky, since it's a family PC; the home phone is, obviously, off limits, and I can't call her mobile 'cause it'll show up on the bill. I bought another mobile phone to give her, but they've found and confiscated that. We've fallen back on snail mail before, though ;) but I have to address it to one of her school friends and ask them to pass it on to her.

heh, yes. we had heard that annual raises this year would be kinda low, so i wasnt expecting much.
8:59 am
Judi

Did you receive more than you expected?
9:00 am
EvaNadine

but i guess they also promoted me to a senior member of the staff. after the normal annual raise, i was still below the standard pay for that level, so i got bumped up extra. :)
9:00 am
EvaNadine

from what we have been hearing, standard raises this year were gonna be about 3.something%
i got 5.4%
:)
9:00 am

Awesome you! Does that mean you are a "senior" citizen now?

Yes - we're sweltering. Amtrak & Septa (trains) had to suspend service because rails were too hot. I guess they can warp when that happens - so they stop running trains for safety reasons.

No one could see them and she is taller than her husband anyway and didn't want any heel at all.

They were nice flip-flops with sparkly things on them.

I never noticed the sound. Don't think anyone else did either.
9:39 am

I would rather see sneakers (like in Father of the Bride). At least you can bling them to the nth degree and they don't make noise.
9:39 am

And it did make me very careful to avoid her feet when I danced with her. :^)
9:40 am
Haz1558

So, EvaN, have you considered incorporating stilts into your outfit?
9:40 am

They'd give a very long look and if you pad them, no sound at all.

EvaN, you could always do a Sandy Shore (the singer not the beach) and go barefoot.

Atalante

true ... :( but it's still epic
1:23 pm
Atalante

Do they / have they liked the "How to Train your DRagon" books?
1:24 pm
Vicuna

We saw the movie and loved it. Haven't read the books yet. They look so different I'm afraid the books and the movie will suffer in comparison with each other.
1:24 pm
Atalante

I haven't seen the movie, but I've been reading the books and they are *hilarious*
1:24 pm
Atalante

well, actually, I've been listening to the audiobooks, so not really reading them
1:26 pm
Atalante

the audiobooks are read by David Tennant - just perfect
1:26 pm
Vicuna

Well, they're on the list to try at some point, so we'll all get there eventually I'm sure. Good to know they'll be good!
1:27 pm
Atalante

they are very different, I was looking up bits about the film and didn't recognise a thing!
1:28 pm
Atalante

I'm absolutely in love with them. Not sure I should be madly in love with books for ages 3 upwards, but ...
1:28 pm
Vicuna

Yeah, it's one of those "If you didn't want to do the story that was int he book, then why don't you just make up your own movie from scratch instead of calling it the same thing?" It drives me utterly mad when Hollywood does that...
1:28 pm
Atalante

I *think* they should be different enough to not upset each other
1:28 pm
Vicuna

Although in this case, having not previously read the books, I was able to enjoy the movie for its own sake, and it really is excellent.
1:29 pm
Atalante

Toothless is a really wimpy dragon, no randomly added girly character ...
1:29 pm
Vicuna

Ata, just about all my favorite books are juvenile (or at least can be found int he children's room of the library.)
1:29 pm
Atalante

mine too LOL
1:30 pm
Vicuna

In regards to which, I've finally gone over to the dark side and started a blog... on block printing and juvenile fantasy, two of my favorite things. =)
1:30 pm
Atalante

omg! link! LINK!!

ata,if you love audio books make sure you look up a company by the name of 'the minds eye" they do amazing work!!
1:31 pm

Well, I've only got a few posts up so far, but...

I've discovered listening to audio books on long car journeys
1:31 pm
crosshair

they do an amazing lord of the rings,mine are on 12 cassette tapes;/
1:32 pm
Atalante

*gleeeeee* ty!
1:32 pm
crosshair

and many of ann rules good true crime books are also on audio
1:32 pm
Vicuna

Audiobooks are great for driving, but otherwise I definitely prefer to do my own reading.
1:32 pm
Atalante

I have a set of 15 CDs with the SIlmarillion on. I must put them on my ipod ...
1:33 pm
Atalante

me too Vi. But in the car, they really are great
1:33 pm
crosshair

crossy is loving his e-book reader;)
1:34 pm

15 CDs - lol
1:35 pm

15 LONG cds
1:35 pm

its a big book;)
1:35 pm
Atalante

sorry crossy, you've just got 2 book worshippers here :P
1:35 pm
Atalante

not half as long as LotR!
1:36 pm
crosshair

my 12 tapes are an hour per side
1:36 pm
crosshair

back in nthe day when disks were but a dream lol
1:36 pm
Vicuna

I'll bet. I like reading aloud, but I'm just imaging that job. Whew. (Not nearly as long as LotR, but not as interesting sustained plot, either, I'm afraid.)
1:37 pm
crosshair

it has full music score to go with it,which adds a nice touch
1:37 pm
Atalante

I must email this to you Vi, I recently did a pic for a cover of a new Tolkien biography - but the brief was ti create something similar to the old 1930s gilt-on-textile book covers. It was rather similar to block print thinking, I think
1:37 pm
Vicuna

Oh, yes, I'd like to see that. And sounds like a cool job, too.
1:38 pm
crosshair

the 30,s editions of lotr are a tad pricey now lol
1:38 pm
Vicuna

My next post on Friday is going to be Belomlinsky's Soviet Hobbit illustrations. Funky stuff.
1:38 pm
crosshair

the hobbit that is
1:39 pm
Vicuna

If anyone tries to sell you an edition of the Hobbit from the early 30's, don't bite! ;)
1:40 pm
crosshair

i am still after a nice arkham house edition of dark carival by bradbury
1:40 pm
crosshair

i shant vic
1:41 pm

ohhh yes, they are quite incredible. the soviet illustrations
1:41 pm

Goodbye, crosshair.

Okay, awaiting the "dink" of new mail. =)
1:43 pm
Atalante

I *think* I got the right email addy!
1:43 pm
Vicuna

Yay, there it is... Yes, that captures the look perfectly!
1:44 pm
Atalante

doesn't it! I was really pleased!
1:44 pm
m9f9l

hello!
1:44 pm
Vicuna

When will this book be coming out?
1:44 pm
Vicuna

Hello, m9f9l.
1:44 pm
Atalante

it's going to be a four colour gilt printed cover. It'll look sooo beautiful. Well. That is an interesting question
1:45 pm
Atalante

It was going to be August, but the Tolkien Estate are now trying to ban bits of it, so we'll see ...
1:45 pm
Vicuna

Will it actually be on fabric?
Oh, what's so controversial?
1:46 pm
Atalante

I'm not sure ... and nothing! They just hold literary rights to JRRT stuff, and this contains new letters and photos etc. They are trying to stop the author using them even though she has full copyright permissions
1:48 pm
Vicuna

Hmmm... well I don't blame estates from wanting to maintain control... Not that I'll ever be famous, but if I were I would appreciate not being totally fair game for anyone to pick over... But at the same time, if there's nothing objectionable, it seems unreasonable to be obstructionist just for the sake of it...
1:48 pm
Atalante

absolutely, and that's what they are famous for doing
1:48 pm
m9f9l

changed my icon
1:49 pm
Atalante

all the letters and photos used in the new book are the personal property of a Tolkien relative, who has given full permission for their use. It's intensely annoying
1:49 pm
Bugsaw

Hi m9
1:49 pm
Vicuna

Too bad. Well, hopefully it'll get sorted out and your gorgeous cover art won't have to languish too long.
1:49 pm

gardening in the heat? madness!
1:53 pm

I've given up on gardening for the week, except for watering at dawn and dusk.
1:54 pm
Vicuna

di6/24 - tool for scooping goldfish out of a bowl?
1:54 pm
Bugsaw

I agree Atalante but my summer is jammed packed full of things to get done so I am edging beds and weeding.
1:55 pm
Bugsaw

when I get too hot, I come in a Babble fora bit.
1:56 pm

Well, at least she's got *some* sense! ;)
1:56 pm

1:56 pm

yup have to justify Babbling somehow
1:56 pm

ok now I have it...thanks
1:57 pm
Jellen

Take a di* in the pool + catch a fish in a ***
1:57 pm
Bugsaw

KMS thinkof it as a compound word, both 3 letters long. then look at the clue again
1:57 pm
KMS

thanks all
1:59 pm

You're welcome.

lol dc
2:27 pm
dcseain

i never new the name in English, and in Spanish those are different words, so i did not make the association
2:27 pm
Vicuna

Well, I look like a proper vicuña today.
2:28 pm
dcseain

yes, you do!
2:28 pm
Vicuna

Oh, do I want to know what non-tilde vicuna means in SPanish?
2:28 pm
dcseain

it doesn't mean anything
2:28 pm
Atalante

this could be interesting ....
2:28 pm
jillibus

I won't be here long -- lunch to get -- but I wanted you to know that re ICON THEMES, I've posted a few of the coming ones in my profile, plus a link to sprite's site. Just scroll down past my writeup of today's theme if you're interested. I plan to keep it up to date. You may notice that there are lots of blanks, so if you have some ideas, sprite will be glad to hear from you.
2:28 pm
Vicuna

Oh, when you said "two different words" I thought you meant two actually words. lol
2:29 pm

thanks Jilli

hey jill!
2:31 pm

jacket potato? like a baked potato???
2:31 pm

2:31 pm
Mom

hooray Jellen, so glad to hear that
2:32 pm
Atalante

well, true, that's pretty darn good too!
2:32 pm
jillibus

It occured to me that sprite is in such a different time zone from North America that many people don't know the theme or how to find it, now that Resources still shows Babbler as the link -- way out of date!
2:32 pm
Vicuna

I'm afraid it's too hot for baked potatoes to sound good, Ata, although normally I'd agree with you.
2:32 pm
SeaSpray

congrats jellen...I's sure it feels wonderful!
2:32 pm
stidmama

I miss Babbler...
2:32 pm

this is the first day for ages that it's felt cool enough to attempt one. but today, it was perfect!

YAY for being home!!! *showers Jellen and Tim with happiness*

they lowered my local forecast from 101 to 99. So far, only 98.

2:33 pm
jillibus

And today is nice and warm here at last!
2:33 pm
Mom

lol Seain. 92 here
2:33 pm
Mom

question please.... is the mo 7 a common word?
2:33 pm
Vicuna

I reckon if you're going to be 99, may as well just get into that third digit and get bragging rights for your trouble.
2:33 pm
Vicuna

Nope, Mom.
2:33 pm
stidmama

hello seain... hope the forecast won't happen. 98 is plenty warm enough *fans self with library book* (I'm at the library, it might hit close to 90 here today... too hot!)
2:34 pm
SeaSpray

only 99 here dc
2:34 pm
jillibus

Not to me, mom!

hi all
2:34 pm

stid, i went to a tamale-making demo at the Folk Life Festival on Monday -- two women from Campeche showed how they make them.
2:35 pm
dcseain

hi, river
2:35 pm
Vicuna

All great here, stidmama, thanks for asking. And how is the entire stidfamily?
2:35 pm

Hi, River
2:35 pm

can someone clue me on the di 7 - first one
2:35 pm
Vicuna

Hello, Riverdance.
2:35 pm
Mom

{{{River}}} read back in the chat .... I am so sorry things have turned out the way they have. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
2:35 pm
jillibus

Mom, I love your icon!
2:35 pm
Atalante

what *is* a tamale?
2:35 pm
stidmama

we are doing pretty well today vicuna -- one at home, one at rehearsal.
2:35 pm
dcseain

is that the di7 set for eating?
2:35 pm
Mom

thank you Jilli
2:36 pm
Vicuna

di7/60 - not sharply focussed
2:36 pm
dcseain

ata, it's fillings wrapped in cornmeal, wrapped in cornhusk or banana skin, then steamed.
2:36 pm
sciencegeek

yummmy tamales
2:36 pm
dcseain

(a bit oversimplified that explanation)
2:36 pm
Riverdance

its your kind of word science - dismantle a bomb
2:36 pm
Vicuna

And are you still insanely busy, or do you get a bit of a break at all?
2:36 pm
dcseain

banana leaf, not skin :">
2:36 pm
stidmama

a tamale is a latin american steamed dish, a corn-flour shell wrapped around a (usually) protein/meat center. Very yummy
2:36 pm
Atalante

(is cornmeal like polenta?)
2:36 pm
sciencegeek

ty
2:36 pm
sciencegeek

similar to polenta
2:36 pm
stidmama

and tied with corn husks or banana leaves depending on the origin
2:36 pm
dcseain

polenta is a thing that can be made from cornmeal.
2:36 pm
sciencegeek

actually it is masa that is used
2:37 pm
Atalante

ahhhh ok. ty all! I'd always wondered!
2:37 pm
stidmama

in this case, similar to polenta, but different flavor.
2:37 pm
dcseain

right, masa harina de maiz is used in this case
2:37 pm
jillibus

river -- the bomb would be a slightly different spelling
2:37 pm
Riverdance

thanks Mom - we are back on waiting mode - more restrictions than ever
2:37 pm
sciencegeek

ole dc
2:37 pm
stidmama

still insanely busy.... RIVER!!! ((((((many hugs)))))) how are you?????? how is your son?????
2:37 pm
Riverdance

yeah I know - but first thing that came to my mind - not quite working right
2:37 pm
stidmama

ack. waiting? waiting????
2:37 pm
Mom

I wish I were near you to help out with meals and house work and all
2:37 pm
dcseain

i use Maseca brand, even for my cornbread.
2:37 pm
jillibus

yes, river -- what's the latest?
2:37 pm
Riverdance

he is pretty weak - after 10 hours under anesthesia you can imagine
2:38 pm
dcseain

maseca is a common name for masa harina de maiz
2:38 pm
stidmama

I use maseca also, highly available here.
2:38 pm
dcseain

may his recovery go well, river
2:38 pm
Vicuna

Oh gosh, oof, River.
2:38 pm
stidmama

*sending healing and patience to River and kin*
2:38 pm
sciencegeek

wish i knew how to make them....
2:38 pm
jillibus

I assume surgery was successful?
2:39 pm
stidmama

Atalante, when you come, we can make tamales (now that I sort of know how)
2:39 pm
sciencegeek

River - sorry to hear of your problems..sending prayers
2:39 pm
Jellen

((River and son))
2:39 pm
Riverdance

they found a rather large aneurism in the coronary sinus behind his heart - cant do anything about it right now - needs further study - venogram, angiogram, ct scan, mri to make sure the procedure will be safe. Trying to get him scheduled in Boston asap
2:39 pm
stidmama

I followed the recipe on the maseca bag, science! just needed more spice.
2:39 pm
Atalante

ooo wonderful! we have an almost possible probable date of trying to get over there for the end of septmeber ...
2:39 pm
Riverdance

they couldnt keep him under anesthesia any longer so had to stop
2:39 pm
dcseain

oh my, river.
2:39 pm
sciencegeek

omg river!
2:40 pm
jillibus

Oh my, river!
2:40 pm
SeaSpray

Oh River, so sorry to hear, thoughts and prayers coming your way...
2:40 pm
stidmama

well, POOP, River! *unhappy mama look* that stinks. *more healing and patience on the way*
2:40 pm
Atalante

oh gosh!!
2:40 pm
Mom

River, your family is lovely
2:40 pm
dcseain

ata, over there meaning Oregon?
2:40 pm
Atalante

yep!
2:40 pm
Riverdance

we took that coming out of the movies on Monday with our 3D glasses on
2:40 pm
Vicuna

Hang in there, River.
2:41 pm
Atalante

IF I can a place at OSU or U Wash
2:41 pm
stidmama

end of september will be in the middle of student teaching... but I will MAKE time for you! *determined mama look*
2:41 pm
dcseain

oh, wow, good luck w/it ata!
2:41 pm
stidmama

(UW is closer...)
2:41 pm
sciencegeek

you will enjoy that area Ata
2:42 pm
Atalante

everything's in place ... I'm just trying to work out visa issues. Visas visas visas .... nightmare
2:42 pm
vlcl

Sending hopeful good thoughts your way, River
2:42 pm
Riverdance

unfortunately it is in a dangerous area that they need to fix - may not be able to and will end up with a defibrulator - not the end of the world if thats what is needed
2:42 pm
dcseain

having worked for customs, yes visas are...tedious at best.
2:42 pm
Atalante

but thank goodness they discovered it!
2:42 pm
Riverdance

so they upped his meds to keep his heart rate down until we can get this done
2:43 pm
dcseain

my tom has an ICD, so does a friend of mine who is now 27 - he got his when he was 16.
2:43 pm
Atalante

I can get a holiday visa and try and get a work visa while over there. Risky. Or get a research visa, but that depends on UW / OSU
2:43 pm
Mom

and he will have to go to Boston to do this?
2:43 pm
sciencegeek

the university should apply for you to get an I-9
2:44 pm
Riverdance

Keith's Doc feel he can still be somewhat active with an ICD - no contact sports but can still play some. Literature says none but Doc does not agree.
2:44 pm
sciencegeek

or a J (?) visa i forget the code
2:44 pm
KatieMcG

the problem with doing the first Ata is that if you are not successful you will then have a mark against you and may be refused future holidays there
2:44 pm
Atalante

that's what I'm hoping, science. But trying to get either of them to do this with ANY amount of hurry is impossible!
2:44 pm
dcseain

in River's part of the country, Boston is best choice, IMHO.
2:44 pm
Atalante

think it's I9, science
2:44 pm
dcseain

yes, what katie said
2:44 pm
sciencegeek

yes it is also summer....think I 9 also....used to workk with Canadiens who had them
2:44 pm
dcseain

if you have offer from uni, it'll go faster.
2:45 pm
Riverdance

Boston Childrens Hospital is the leading pediatric cardiac hospital
2:45 pm
Atalante

exactly, katie. You'd think I was trying to come over and bomb the place, not just want to come and live with the people and the places I would choose to be with!
2:45 pm
Mom

that is excellent River.
2:46 pm
Riverdance

Keith actually had his open heart there when he was 7 weeks old. the electrical problem he has now can be done here at Dartmouth but they have nothing available in the near future. They already cancelled procedures to get him in yesterday
2:46 pm
sciencegeek

River, I am so sorry for you....breaks my heart
2:46 pm
stidmama

well, and we wouldn't want to have an actual intellectual come over to further our knowledge base... (have to keep the rabble out, you know)
2:46 pm
dcseain

'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' creator awarded $269.2 million in damages

Is he feeling alright?

3:45 pm

I feel for both of you dc and Jellen because it is so hard to witness someone you love uncomfortable and/or in distress
3:45 pm
dcseain

he is doing alright - some days better than others, and he's still working, as he was pre-op
3:46 pm

Now, I would feel down as well with a message like that DC! Oh man. I'd like to give the Assistant a talking to.
3:46 pm

Speaking of being older than dirt, as Christine just did, has anyone caught sight of the PLANCK telescope's pic of the universe? We're not even a speck in it, and though they try to tell us we're seeing the whole universe, we're not, because we are only seeing as far as PLANCK's lense let us.

So, how do you dress to met all the 20 somethings you were once one of, and the 50s somethings that were there, too, 20+ years ago? We're going to a funeral, but the lady whose funeral it is mothered us all, whatever age we were. It's got to be black, I think, but nothing too heavy for me, sine my hot flushes are legendary. Wonder if it's the same for my 50+ ex work mates and those in their 60s and 80s? There may be a few in their 30s on board too, clever girls we selected from whatever the name ogf the Government work from school initiative was back in 70s to 80s.

10:03 pm

In California, we have no-fault divorce. If one wants it, s/he gets it. The spouse is notified and can appear at court, but can't refuse a divorce. Why would you want to remain married to someone who announces s/he wants out?

OMGosh - a terrifying age anyway, then all this baggage. Did the mother not do anything, police-wise, about this man, or is she really more interested in him than in her child's physical/emotional health. This alone should be enough to get the divorce business finalized since she's obviously a bad role for the little girl.
