I'd like to get halfway -- have 105 now.
1:33 am
flosey
oh, good for you
1:33 am
flosey

1:34 am
flosey

Oh, poor bugsaw! Boil water advisory for her town.
1:34 am
flosey
oh dear, that's such a nuisance
1:35 am
jillibus
Huge fire south of San Francisco -- gas line burst
1:36 am
jillibus
as you can tell, I have the news on TV ;)
1:36 am
flosey
oh, nasty one
1:37 am
flosey
think I'm going to push to get a tv in the livingroom - we've both been against it, but a nuisance having to go downstairs
1:37 am
jillibus
the flat ones are so obvious now, flosey
1:38 am
flosey
will have to work on it
1:39 am
jillibus
I meant are NOT so obvious, duh.

Hi, Jillibus, hi all.
1:45 am
flosey

Often I forget to move the cursor, and type a word into the chat: just now I typed my "hellos" into the word box. May be time for bed.
1:47 am
flosey
4 more for me (for 100
1:48 am
jillibus
Christine, you need Expert (unless you have a Mac)
1:48 am
Christine
I need a new head
1:48 am
jillibus

1:49 am
jillibus

1:50 am
Christine
Goodnight,
1:50 am
jillibus
Expert has many features, including a box where if you type one word it goes to the lists (including Lickety's), and more than one word goes to the chat.
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
Christine
Thank you, I'll do that.
1:53 am
jillibus
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.
1:53 am
jillibus
Yeah, probably, flosey ;)
1:57 am
flosey
great pics of Kathleen and Tom, Jilli
2:14 am
Christine
Thank you, Jillibus; I emailed Lickety.
2:20 am
jillibus
I thought they were fun, flosey!
2:21 am
jillibus
Let me know, Christine, when you get Expert, ok?
2:21 am
Christine
I will, Jillibus
2:24 am
jillibus
or if you don't hear from Lickety...
2:29 am
Christine
Thanks again. I'm closing now, but I'll let you know, tomorrow.

dizgrannie

5:27 am
Gеогgе
Pini's clobbering me in an online scrabble game!
5:27 am
Gеогgе

5:34 am
SaraY
Why isn't 'rort' a word?
5:34 am
lynxxx
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
Gеогgе
well if your thick, then so am I, in that case!
5:35 am
Gеогgе
<< thick mick!
5:35 am
zoozzoom
it might be used only in australia & new zealand i think.
5:35 am
zoozzoom
Hello, SaraY & Lynxxx :-)
5:36 am
Gеогgе
coz 'rort' isn't a word, SaraY, that I know of!?
5:36 am
Gеогgе
is it a word there??
5:36 am
Gеогgе
well if so that's new to me!
5:36 am

5:37 am
zoozzoom
goto go, take care all *poof*
5:37 am
Dachef
george, that means nothing. Hardly any of those c's are words in the proper sense of the, er, word.
5:37 am
lynxxx
apparently is is from an old English - rorty
5:37 am
Gеогgе
well I'll be...something! gobsmacked? yeah, that's it!
5:37 am
SaraY
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
Gеогgе
oh yeah, Dachef? well I'll soon C, ha! listing now....
5:38 am
Gеогgе
oh yeah? learned something new for today, ta!
5:38 am
SaraY
wonderful, I have earned my keep!
5:38 am
Gеогgе
besides how to be patient waiting for my roof and bedroom ceiling to be repaired!
5:39 am
lynxxx
How are you Dachef - and where are you. Last time I saw you, you were trying to get them to let you in again
5:40 am
Dachef
hi lyn, yeh, back in UK again. Waiting for the company to get their arses in gear now and get the sponsorship for my visa sorted. Hopefully shouldnt be too long.
5:42 am
Gеогgе
oh, to get let into the US, Dachef?
5:42 am
EspritdJean

5:42 am
Gеогgе

5:43 am
EspritdJean
I'm rounding up prayers for my brother. I am going to his funeral tomorrow
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
5:47 am
lynxxx
0h dear even worse - so sad and bewildering for those left behind - my sympathy for your family
5:48 am
EspritdJean
ty all, if you pray, please say some for him and his sons
5:48 am
Gеогgе
yeah, that really is awful, will do, Jean! xx
5:51 am
Gеогgе

5:51 am
EspritdJean

5:54 am
Dachef
i have always had itchy feet tho - in various career incarnations ive lived all over the world!!!
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.
6:00 am
Gеогgе
yeah, I do too much of that at times though, miss home and getting enough rest! staycations are good!!
6:09 am

6:25 am
carleekat

6:26 am
Gеогgе
and personal friends
6:26 am
carleekat
i use fb and twitter
6:26 am
Gеогgе
that was meant to be in one post but got posted before I wanted, dunno how?
6:26 am
Gеогgе
no, my twitter and fb are professional pages only, for thos sorta updates, yeah, some more personal but I save the more personal stuff for yahoo coz that page doesn't have to be public and isn't!
6:27 am
carleekat
ic...well... i still am not a yahoo user really
6:27 am
Gеогgе
I keep the two very separate, too much trouble with stalkers harrassing me and whatnot! don't want them seeing who all my family and m8s are!
6:30 am
Gеогgе
had one hack into some accounts of mine and my sister's, wasn't fun, nearly lost our accounts, had to change passwords quickly and more than once in one night!! lucky we were online together when it all happened!
6:31 am

ooh yeah? that's a good idea, carleekat!
6:33 am

what happened to espritjean? I just came on
6:34 am
JBV
today is her brother's funeral, ruby
6:34 am
carleekat
and...even if u guess the word..( as if)..its a phonetic alphabet so everyone spells the words in our alphabet differently
6:34 am
rubyfoo
oh no! how old was he and was it unexpected?
6:34 am
carleekat
oh crap...
6:34 am
Gеогgе
she asked for prayers for her brother who's just died, ruby, it was suicide and it's his funeral today
6:34 am
rubyfoo
that's horrible!
6:35 am
carleekat
we had that ahppen here a young boy ( 15) at my kids' school... funeral is today
6:35 am
JBV
I've been to two suicide funerals this year - there's nothing worse
6:35 am
JBV
oh, my god, carlee, how awful
6:35 am
JBV
one of ours was a teacher - last March
6:36 am
rubyfoo
sorry, that is very upsetting news. I didn't realize there were so many suicides. I've only known one
6:36 am
carleekat
he was on football and rugby school teams...gorgeous and an over achiever
6:37 am
carleekat
he was REALLY well liked..so i have no idea...popular..on school teams... good looking...most kids dreams in Hs
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
JBV
we had counseling at school - I'm sure you do too carlee, but most families have to go through this without help
6:39 am

8:12 am
Sally-catlover
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
Sally-catlover
That's what I wondered, if you felt better for it.
8:14 am
Gеогgе
soups are my thing, I'm one of these no recipe, taste as I go sorta cooks, always made really good soup!

Scrabbler
TY, Pini--odd word.
8:49 am
Pinikula
(still think it makes more sense to be reversed) :)
8:49 am
Scrabbler
Yes, kje! Daniel is quite shy initially, and very guarded. Later when hiking he was my buddy, holding my hand and chattering away. Nick is full of spunk--fearless, animated!
8:50 am

8:52 am
Scrabbler
I love playing Scrabble but that doesn't mean I am a superstar at it, although I am improving.
8:53 am
Scrabbler
If I studied and memorized the 2 and 3-letter words I could make great progress.
8:53 am
Pinikula

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!

The place you go when one blurts words into the grid
9:18 am
EvaNadine
Penalty Box
9:18 am

PENALTY BOX. It's really rather more of a rehab spa than anything.
9:19 am
lexophile
I understood the concept, but just didn't get the initials! thx...lol
9:20 am
lexophile
....where one may find food on occasion? ... seen many references to goodies in the PB!

9:21 am
rubyfoo
most of the time....
9:21 am
Judi
Thanks, Lex! You are correct, of course.
9:21 am
rubyfoo
but we go through our share of tragedies, meltdowns, illnesses, etc., too
9:22 am
rubyfoo
what is wonderful and really comforting is that there is almost always somebody in here, round the clock
9:22 am
EvaNadine
often, the PB is more luxurious than outside the PB. sometimes we MAY "accidentally" blurt out words just to get sent there. ;)
chocolates, champagne, cabana boys...

9:23 am

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.
9:46 am
lexophile
I keep imagining: select, elect and correct
9:47 am
EvaNadine
my phantom: orient
9:48 am
lexophile
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

::licks custard from lips::
9:55 am

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

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
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
EvaNadine
::sigh::
such drama.

11:44 am
caitlyn
Dorens I have given up all that ruru has but NOT wine Ienjoy a drink in the evenings LOL
11:45 am
rururocks
If you have the things you like "in moderation" on alternate months you aren't depriving yourself
11:45 am
Dorens
only eat lean meat or fish (rarely eat beef), no ice cream, dessert is an extra special treat maybe once or twice a month)
11:45 am
rururocks

11:45 am
Dorens
i can only imagine. for how long, one month?

You've got me beat by a few. We're celebrating our 40th next year
1:37 pm
sammysmom
great... keep on chuggin'
1:37 pm
daykat
so what are the secrets sammy. 53 yrs is a real achievement!
1:39 pm
sammysmom
small courtesies ... for example.... we were driving back from maine a few years ago........... i had the passenger window open..... he did not complain... but he turned the heat on and turned the vents towards himself.. he did not complain that the window was open and i did not complain of the heat. it worked!!
1:40 pm
daykat
love it sammy. nice story, lovely example!
1:40 pm
Scrabbler
Done with phone call
1:40 pm
daykat
hi scrabbler
1:40 pm
sammysmom
the most important one is. we have NEVER< NEVER NEVER been in the bathroom at the same time ... my mutual unspoken consent, we have always respected the other's privacy.
1:41 pm
Scrabbler
Outstanding, sammysmom, for respecting one another + having boundaries.
1:41 pm
bichon
I'd like to hear how you worked that one out
1:42 pm
bichon
My husband *has* to be in the bathroom alone at certain times
1:42 pm
sammysmom
Now that ther kids are gone we now have seperate bedrooms,, he likes the tv on at all hours.... i do not have one in my room........... i like to read at all hours, and my light does not bother him..... he sleeps with peanut butter and carckers on his chest ... i sleep with chuckie on mine.
1:42 pm
daykat
well done - respect, really imortant
1:43 pm
cosdem
ive been married a little over a year.. we have separate rooms... it works amazing.
1:43 pm
bichon
we have snoring issues
1:43 pm
cosdem
i read on cnn separate bedrooms are the secret to a healthy marriage
1:43 pm
daykat
obviously a good sense of humor has helped sammysmom!!
1:44 pm
sammysmom
he still opens the car door for me... kicking his oxygen hose out of the way to do it and i still fix him his favorite foods.. ( if he notices that they are no longer swimming in fat or salt, he does not mention it, and seems to enjoy the meals.)
1:45 pm
daykat
thats interesting cosdem
1:45 pm
crosshair
howdy everyone;)
1:45 pm
sammysmom
sense of humor????? lol... we had the first 2 kids 11 months apart... waited 10 years ( to grow our own babysitters,) then did it again!!
1:45 pm
cosdem

1:47 pm
crosshair
secret?listen to each other,TALK to each other about anything and everything,never go to bed mad at each other,when one wants alone time respect it and at least one massage for him and her a week
1:48 pm
daykat
crossy - like the massage bit!
1:49 pm
crosshair
releases tension,loosens the muscles,promotes circulation,among other things
1:49 pm
daykat
we have been together 30 years and it seems we break all the rules but somehow we keep on keeping on!
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
crosshair
and most important of all......

zoozzoom
hello, Cosdem :-)
3:23 pm
stidgmere
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."

4:37 pm
Soodlebum
What was it supposed to be?
4:38 pm
Gеогgе
Magnet?

There are probably rules about when to use while and when to use whilst, and it would get crazy like who and whom, or lie and lay...

Love it George.

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!

When my grandfather lived in Maine, he asked a teacher to marry him. She turned him down because she didn't want to give up teaching and in those days, teachers couldn't keep their jobs after they married.

I remember back in the '50's when the teachers decided that they had to have college degrees to teach. My Aunt would drive 100 miles after working all day and go to classes; she ended up with a Masters' degree in remedial English/ Education
8:56 pm
wht
He married my grandmother. She died and when he retired, he went back to Maine and met the first woman again. She accepted his second proposal.

9:12 pm
wht
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.

10:31 pm
stidmama
at the same time, I can't really get to sleep until I eat supper, and at least a couple times a week I don't get home until after 6:30... *sigh* and still have lessons to plan and papers to write. So, no. Not enough sleep. At all.
