1:51 am
Christine

How do I get that?
1:51 am
jillibus

Well done, flosey -- see you tomorrow!
1:51 am
jillibus

You just email Lickety -- it's free. Let me know if he doesn't send it -- I think sometimes he doesn't read his email.
1:52 am
flosey

yes, but I'll probably be up much earlier than you, Jilli
1:52 am

Thank you, I'll do that.
1:53 am

It also puts everything on one page -- his list, the grid etc and the chat. And it has a link to morewords, a2z, and the reverse dictionary among other things.

Hello everyone
5:34 am
Dachef

actually, now I have only 12 left, but Im using the list and inevitably proving that a) I really am thick and b) I really should be doing something more productive!!!!

5:35 am
zoozzoom

Hello, SaraY & Lynxxx :-)
5:36 am

You are probably right - it means a dodgy practice or a situation where someone tries to take advantage of someone else, usually in a financial way.
5:37 am

5:44 am
lynxxx

I am sure the company will be able to convince them that you are irreplaceable
5:44 am
Gеогgе

eh, well, legal situation shall we say, something that wasn't my fault -- called extortion! meanwhile they've got plenty of real criminals over there they should be a lot more worried about, madness!
5:44 am
lynxxx

oh Espritd, that is very sad ((hugs)) will be thinking of you
5:44 am
Gеогgе

and I don't want to live there, just go over to work for a temporary period of time!
5:45 am
SaraY

Thinking of you EpritdJean, not too much that could be worse xx
5:45 am
Gеогgе

but even a few weeks, even one week? no way, not happening!
5:46 am
EspritdJean

it was suicide
5:46 am
Dachef

I never wanted to live there either until I spent a lot of time there and fell in love with the weather! Also, its where the work is, so its far better for me to be there. Kicking my heels back here, v. frustrating.
5:47 am
Gеогgе

oh Jean so sorry to hear it, didn't notice until just now, how awful for you, very very sorry!! xx
5:47 am
SaraY

What can I add, my heart aches for you and your family xx

5:57 am
Gеогgе

oh yeah? I've travelled all over the world, but only lived here in the UK, aside from having a flat in Manhattan for a while when I was working over there a lot (shared with a friend), which I didn't live in full time or permanently, and a place in Ibiza
5:59 am
Dachef

its good to travel, meet fascinating people, see amazing things. The world is not a small place anymore.

6:38 am
Gеогgе

yes, it's really horrible, can't be anything worse than that really, very tragic someone should do that!
6:38 am
JBV

that's what makes it so difficult - you feel as if you never really knew the person - grief mixed with regret, anger - it's too overwhelming for those left behind
6:39 am
Gеогgе

it sure is, JBV, so hard to imagine or understand
6:39 am

we had counseling at school - I'm sure you do too carlee, but most families have to go through this without help

George, wanted to ask you about your raw food. Did you just change completely overnight as it were, or did you gradually change? And was it difficult to do?
8:13 am
Gеогgе

more or less, yeah, but I've always eaten a lot of raw foods in my diet, you know, salads, fruit and all that, and I'm not strictly raw, just eat mostly raw, do eat some cooked things, I love to cook--just eating a mainly raw diet with some things cooked, opposite of how I used to eat and how most do!
8:13 am
Gеогgе

the more raw food I eat, the better I feel!
8:14 am

Hiya, Eva. NB did not have a very good time in Korea - he really doesn't want to talk about it. I don't know details. He said he might post a condensed version of the trip's doings under his icon.
9:13 am
EvaNadine

he told us he didnt really wanna hafta relay all the trip details, then blurted something about him + frank being a couple, then he vacated the premesis!

phantom word - cloister
9:46 am
EvaNadine

ugh.
poor fiance has been trying to get in touch with XM radio to have his unit replaced. their customer service is truly terrible.
weeks ago they told him a new unit was on the way. we waited, but it never arrived. when he called to find out where it was, they confirmed that it was never sent.
in the last 2 day, he has spent over 2 hours on the phone with them, mostly on hold and being transferred around. and then they just keep dropping his calls.
in the meantime, we have already pre-paid for service he isnt receiving.

they are lucky it isnt ME on the phone, otherwise they would be hearing an earful.

hate dealing with companies to try to make them do the right thing... so much "customer service" is... NOT!
9:51 am
EvaNadine

we have gone head-to-head with comcast almost every month. i never used to have these problems, but it is becoming the norm now!
and with so many companies, you really dont have much of a choice about which company to use. its either get the service or dont.
9:53 am
Atalante

*sneaks in and pours a bowl of custard over eva's head*
9:53 am
Atalante

comcast are a nightmare
9:54 am
EvaNadine

do you have them in the UK also?
::licks custard from lips::
9:55 am
Atalante

no thank goodness
9:55 am
phaeton

i read an article about comcast...they grew too fast and can't keep up with customer relations...they are rated the worst in the business
9:56 am
EvaNadine

its so true. they really are terrible.
9:56 am
Atalante

but everyone I know over there who ha them have had issues
9:57 am
phaeton

yep...they don't take the time to train their techs or the phone personnel
9:57 am
EvaNadine

our roommate had exchanged one of the cable boxes we had. unfortunately, he didnt keep the receipt.
we noticed that not only were they charging us for the new box, they were still chargins us for the old box -- and ALL the movies being ordered on it.
9:58 am
EvaNadine

we went to the office and explained that we no longer had the box, but had lost the receipt, and apparently, without the receipt, they had no way of knowing that the box wasnt ours, since in their system, it was still listed under our name and address.
9:59 am
EvaNadine

we suggested that they send out a signal and trace where it was coming from, but they said all they could trace was that a signal was being returned, not where it was.
then we suggested that they shut off all service to that box, and hopefully the people who had it would bring it in. they said they would, but all they shut off was the On-Demand service. the people were still using it and ordering pay-per-view movies on it.
9:59 am
lexophile

yikes! will they just continue to charge your account?
10:00 am
Atalante

ffs!
10:00 am
EvaNadine

each month, we had to call and complain to get those charges taken off our account. they told us that if we couldnt prove we didnt have the box, we would have to pay for it (like $500!)
10:01 am
EvaNadine

their own servicemen came out several times and saw that we only had the 3 boxes we claimed to have, not this mystery 4th one.
10:02 am
EvaNadine

i think, somehow, finally, dear fiance managed to get it taken off the account.
i have NO idea how he finally convinced them, but for the last 2 months, we havent been charged for it.
10:06 am

If you have the things you like "in moderation" on alternate months you aren't depriving yourself

1:51 pm
crosshair

you have to be able to talk with each other about anything,your fears,dreams,what angers you,even just silly stuff,you must communicate
1:51 pm
bichon

We basically have a lot of interesting things we share. But we are also very different in our personalities.
1:52 pm
daykat

differences are important I think Bichon - we are like chalk and cheese but maybe thats what keeps it interesting. Certainly never boring!
1:53 pm
crosshair

chalk and cheese,that is a new one
1:53 pm

1:54 pm
bichon

I am verbal in my feelings and hubby is more reserved. It's cultural, Jewish vs Prussian
1:55 pm
daykat

crosshair

yes,you can win the battle but still lose the war

Right, m9f9l, The Johnny Brahms we know had such an ear for melody and innovation. We do get very personal. And poor Beethoven, I call him Beethoven, went on and on because he never heard anyone calling him to dinner.

m9f9l

there was a piano piece I loved when I was young... and then I let someone borrow the book when I was in college..and didn't get it back. I couldn't find the song forever, because I didnt' remember who the composer was, and the title is just the style of song.
3:33 pm
m9f9l

and then one day I went to a woman's house to buy some pj's for gage off craig's list.
3:33 pm
m9f9l

and I looked over and there was a book on her piano... that looked a lot like the book from when I was young.. I got all excited "can I look at that piano book?!?!??!!?" she thought I was kind of odd I think.LOL
3:34 pm
stidgmere

Stidmatt helps me with the grid when he is here. I don't know that he does it "cold."
3:34 pm
m9f9l

but it was the same book. and I wrote down all the publishing info... and I found a copy online at ebay or abebooks. And now I have it again.

Minveryork

I am not cl5/12 to finishing the grid.I have 50 words le4/7.But I'm not in 4/4 completing the grid because it will take too lo 4/6. I have never se 4/4 fireworks with grids with 200 + words.I'm going to do my story of clues. I'm an ESL teacher.I love playing the ro 4/4 of an educator. Knowing that I'm educating children makes me fe4/7 really good. Was in5/10duced to my colleagues many years ago&now they're my cr 7/32. My colleagues and students are the on4/4 who make me want to goto work. I also like being able to work from se 4/6 to June and being off in July and August. I teach K - 7th grade. I do all kinds of things with my students.I am a co7/32 and co5/12 with my younger students. I sing a lot of so 5/14 with them. I teach a lot of co4/5 subjects with older students.Sometimes the kids drive me lo4/5 when they make too much no 5/10, but for the most part they are good. I am glad I teach in an elementary school. I don't think I could teach te 4/4agers. I think te 5/10 can be very hard to teach. They talk back in a very nasty to4/4. Now I'm going to go watch te 4/4vision in bed which is co 6/21 than this hard chair I am sitting on. Goodnight!

Don't take it personally, jmc. It was in the context of a particularly nasty lawsuit brought by a certain company that claimed that we had infringed on their copyrights.
9:12 pm
jmcnrick

i haven't seen feather since i got here
9:13 pm
jmcnrick

then they should have been rangers
9:14 pm
wht

They probably thought that we would settle rather than go to trial. Instead, we fought back because we do enough consulting work that we didn't want people to think we would steal their ideas. The whole thing has been dragging on for 7 years and the company that brought the suit has now been in Chapter 11 for years.
