lol... then maybe it is not such a good one. He is a famous trucker though.
3:15 am

He sounds pretty Irish with a name like that.

Soodlebum

Has anybody established whether a bad head cold causes word blindness? I am failing miserably with this grid.
3:17 am
sprite

I don't know where he was born. But I know he died because he fell asleep while driving.
3:18 am
sprite

Soodle, of course it do4. A bad head cold is like having cotton balls stuffed in your entire head, so no space for wordfinding brain cells.
3:18 am
Haz1558

Yes, a bad head cold is absolutely implicated in word blindness.
3:19 am
Soodlebum

Thank you Haz. I knew there was a reason for my poor performance. (feels vindicated)

We've yet to find a way of persuading Dr-God to award extra points to replace those lost through various performance inhibitors.
3:21 am

who cares about points. How about being able to replay old puzzles or play the ones you missed later on?
3:21 am
Soodlebum

There was I, thinking I had a cold, when its actually a performance inhibitor. That will sound so much better when i phone the boss with the news he will be Soodle-less today!
3:22 am
Norma

Haz I haven't got a head cold and I still can't find any words what is my excuse ;o)
3:22 am
Haz1558

Yes, saying you have a performance inhibiting upper respiratory tract infection sounds MUCH better.
3:23 am
sprite

Norma, no excuse needed. You can simply claim it is a very tough grid.
3:23 am
Soodlebum

Your in sympathy with me, Norma. I will be generous in sharing my performance inhibitor.
3:23 am
Haz1558

Now, that is a more difficult one. Is the weather dull where you are? It's a well known performance wrecker.
3:24 am
Norma

Thank you Soodle ;-)
3:24 am
sprite

did you see my last song, Haz?
3:25 am
Norma

Weather is very dull, does that get the brain cells to seize up
3:25 am
Haz1558

Yes, I did - a play on the Candle in the wind?
3:25 am
Haz1558

Dull weather = dull brains.
3:25 am

Is it a tough grid sprite or am i just being thick ;-)
3:25 am

no, on her skirt blowing up
3:26 am

I was thinking of the scene in The 7 year itch....
3:26 am
Haz1558

Ah! That makes sense!
3:26 am

extremely tough, Norma, don't worry
3:27 am

I thought it was the most famous pose of Monroe... trying to keep her skirt down.
3:27 am
Norma

I can't find any six letter words, let alone 7 letter words so I don't believe there are any 9 and 10 letter words
3:27 am
Haz1558

Don't you worry, Norma, they're there.
3:27 am

I do see promising endings though, Norma
3:28 am

Take a good look at the grid and you will soon no6 some bigger words.
3:28 am
Norma

Thank you people I think I will go and get some breakfast perhaps the brain is starved of food lol
3:29 am
sprite

very important to feed the brain
3:29 am
Norma

That was a good clue Haz
3:29 am
Haz1558

Dull weather, lack of food = well-known performance inhibitors, se6 only to head colds.

Haz, you forgot the Babblers Anthem in your song list....the old BeeGees classic WORDS.

That se6 can be made into 2 se7 by adding different vowels on the end.
3:31 am

Soodle - do you belong in the alto or soprano se7 of the choir?
3:31 am

I'm humming in se****s and thirds....(see double post)

here is an epiphany. My Excel is dutch. Let me try Links in stead of Left
4:45 am

well that helps, but not enough. Am sending you the list, ARB
4:46 am
ARB

I have an excel in Hebrew -- but the formulas are done in english, so I figured the Dutch might not work.
4:47 am
sprite

yes I was expecting the same, and I think it should work. I got some help text when I used the dutch word Links, but the formula was still rejected.
4:48 am
sprite

I sent you the email with the .xls
4:51 am
sprite

wait I think I see something. The help text says it must be ; and not , between the B1 and the 2

yes that was it

doing very well, BabbleRabble. Both in highschool now, Caya is very excited about it all and enjoys being able to study at last. She needed the challenge. She is still a bit timid, but getting stronger.
Tim is moody and obnoxious, and he hates school, and thinks his parents are idiots. So very normal for a 14 yo. He is also a great boy

had your interview happened already, lady, or is it still to come?
5:22 am
herinfernallady

Not yet Sprite. Wednesday. Just doing volunteer work today and tommorrow.
5:23 am
herinfernallady

I got dirty and covered with fur
5:24 am

a lady rabbit :D
5:24 am
herinfernallady

Yep my cats don't like me right now
5:26 am
sprite

well I do
5:26 am
herinfernallady

I was just looking at the new Mc Donalds advert on tv I am then rather disturbed
5:28 am
sprite

why is that?
5:29 am
herinfernallady

Because there is little kids singing and I hadn't heard the lyrics right till now
5:29 am
herinfernallady

as in don't pay attention to adverts OR I haven't heard them
5:30 am
herinfernallady

Ok so what is disturbing is this: LITTLE Kids are singing I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

I learn something new in babble every day, grin.
5:32 am

Congrats, dizgrannie
5:32 am

I see, lady, quite an adult text for a kid
5:32 am
lawyer-1

That's a song from the 60's by Herman's Hermits
5:33 am
dizgrannie

goodnight/day all, see ya tomorrow...xxx
5:33 am
herinfernallady

Lawyer yes it is but is it appropriate to use to advertise food and too use little kids
5:33 am
lawyer-1

sorry, herin, but I see nothing wrong with it
5:35 am
sprite

bye dizgrannie
5:35 am
herinfernallady

So you see nothing wrong with little kids singing about sleeping around? Sorry but I find the over sexualisation of young kids appalling and to use that line for a food advert is just soddy
5:36 am
sprite

I am off, am checking out the website. BabbleRabble, it was very nice to see you again in chat. All the best.
Bye all!
5:36 am
herinfernallady

Babble Rabble were did you go?
5:36 am
lawyer-1

you can read something bad into anything, but I tend to look for the simpler side. a one night stand is a date for 1 night
5:38 am
BabbleRabble

right here.
5:38 am
BabbleRabble

be well, sprite... thanks
5:38 am
dizgrannie

IMHO I don't think they read too much into the words, its a catchy tune.
5:40 am
BabbleRabble

Where I come from a one night stand is more than going to MacD for a burger ... and they set up a repeat performance
5:41 am
lawyer-1

but they do say, "she danced close to me like I knew she would." Maybe that was dancing in the sheets. It's an innocent song.
5:45 am
lawyer-1

And he did walk her home and she held his hand.....naughty, naughty, naughty. She actually held his hand...pure smut!
5:45 am
BabbleRabble

have your fun
5:46 am
Ray100

The song actually encourages marriage & monogamy
5:52 am
herinfernallady

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy Some how don't see how this has any thing to do with food
5:53 am
lawyer-1

I never said that the song had anything to do with food. But, that, in and of itself, does not make it bad.
5:53 am
Ray100

Most pop songs used in advertising have little to do with the products being pushed. Marketing is rather more subtle than that.
5:54 am
herinfernallady

HI Ray
5:54 am
Ray100

hi...
5:54 am
lawyer-1

personally, I find most tv ads to be aimed at people with low IQ's. Remember, half the people in the world have a below-average IQ.
5:56 am
herinfernallady

As I said I don't usually hear these things it was just something the wolf hearing heard tonigh
5:57 am
BabbleRabble

I see ... and the way you two go on ... I am sorry I do not meet your high intellectual standards .... I have my own opinion just the same ... and the ten and eleven and twelve year olds who hear the ad may be on the short side of the curb too.
5:59 am
lawyer-1

odds are that those 10 & 11 year olds listen to pop music with lyrics much worse than poor Peter Noone. Well, I'd love to stay and continue, but time to get ready for wor. Have a great day....avoid commercials!
6:00 am
herinfernallady

Have a good Monday Lawyer
6:00 am
BabbleRabble

you are so condescending .. .what prize
6:01 am
herinfernallady

man my head hurts
6:02 am
Ray100

I didn't notice anyone claiming "high intellectual standards". I thought I was expressing my opinion in the same way that you were Babble. Obviously, you're right to be concerned about the impact of modern marketing on the more vulnerable members of society, including young people. But this has been around for a very long time - see "The Hidden Persuaders" by Vance Packard for example (published in the 50's!)
6:03 am
BabbleRabble

I am done with you .. .go lecture someone else
6:03 am
BabbleRabble

licketySplitAUS

jmcnrick - I'll let you in on a secret - I got clues going completely automated
6:57 am
NonoNanette

training never stops i'm sure. It's so hazardous
6:58 am
licketySplitAUS

Unless I mind too many words, or my computer shuts down
6:58 am
jmcnrick

well even automated requires pushing a button i think! lol
6:58 am
licketySplitAUS

Nono - such a great bunch of people in the Rural Fire Service, and it really does feel good to be able to volunteer - everyone is the same

7:01 am
licketySplitAUS

carleekat - fireseason is about to start, but we have had some rain this winter
7:02 am
licketySplitAUS

it's been about 6 years here before a big fire around here
7:02 am
herinfernallady

I did JM. I learnt that the Alpacas have dormant pregnancies like kangaroos if it gets too hot, like the Black saturday fires the pregnancy stretched out to 14months
7:03 am

( this grid stinks)
7:03 am

7:03 am

7:04 am
jmcnrick

7:04 am
herinfernallady

Kangaroos have the ability to have one in one one and one out. that is One fertilized egg, one jelly bean joey and one out of the pouch

bye jmc
7:18 am
licketySplitAUS

Got a story for ya
7:18 am
Anniebrook

please tell
7:18 am
licketySplitAUS

Over the last few years, we have been friends with a family that lives in the road adjoining ours
7:19 am
licketySplitAUS

We looked after their dog for a few days once - a Jack Russell
7:19 am
licketySplitAUS

His name is Remi - great dog - loved it. Very friendly
7:20 am
licketySplitAUS

Anyway - over the last few weeks, Remi has been following us on the streets, hanging out at our house and our dog Vixie was on heat - so being very agitated
7:20 am
herinfernallady

De 9 10
7:21 am
licketySplitAUS

mrp asked the owners of Remi to try to keep him indoors (as is required by law)
7:21 am
licketySplitAUS

the father of the family told mrp to go get it lost, run over it etc, the mother said we should get our dog desexed
7:21 am
licketySplitAUS

Our dog is never roaming
7:22 am
licketySplitAUS

so I got the dog put in the pound, expecting that it would be local and $20 to get out.
7:22 am
licketySplitAUS

Ended up it cost the $760 to get out, and they had to drive 1.5 hours to get it because : 1) It wasn't registered, 2) It wasn't desexed and 3) It wasn't microchipped.
7:23 am
licketySplitAUS

Whoops!
7:23 am
licketySplitAUS

The husband runs a store in the local store
7:23 am
carleekat

oh dear...so.....we are no longer on speaking terms with they neighbour?
7:23 am
licketySplitAUS

And next day after a few heated phone calls etc, one of our car tires has been let down.
7:24 am
carleekat

call police
7:24 am
Anniebrook

Looks as if you will never watch Remi again..good riddance to them
7:24 am
licketySplitAUS

Then we find out the dog has been nipping kids feet and it pissed on our front door and has almost caused car accidents
7:24 am
carleekat

if nothing other then to start a point of reference
7:24 am
gran

Clue please for pi 7/36
7:24 am
NonoNanette

i can only say they would have been much better off had they just kept the dog confined as required by law would have been a lot cheaper
7:25 am
licketySplitAUS

Yes I know - but it creates a world of tension. Their fault - but shows how no one else has the guts to do anything
7:26 am
carleekat

people who let an animal roam are just asking for their animal to get hit
7:26 am
licketySplitAUS

I even warned him before I called the pound
7:26 am
licketySplitAUS

And we love that dogh
7:27 am
NonoNanette

I am sure the tension must be high, but surely they will now look after the poor dog a bit better
7:27 am
licketySplitAUS

Then he almost threatened us
7:27 am
herinfernallady

I am so sorry I am so brain dead
7:27 am
carleekat

again...call the police
7:27 am
licketySplitAUS

And mrp went up to there place to talk, and she got screams to leave, and then a phone call that if show goes there again they will call the police.
7:28 am
herinfernallady

Lickety is the dog microchipped?
7:28 am
licketySplitAUS

Yes Nono - we haven't seen the dog on the street again - And they do need to learn
7:28 am
NonoNanette

how rude of them!
7:28 am
licketySplitAUS

Lady - no it wasn't, but I gave the owner notice I was doing it - and I told the pound their address.
7:29 am
Haz1558

pi7 - pi plus the ending of the one-glassed spectacle. (mo)
7:30 am
licketySplitAUS

some people don't listen. It was going to go on and on - I had to use the laws that we have.
7:31 am
herinfernallady

I tell you what that dog would go for a nice little walk to a non kill shelter and get rehoused
7:31 am
Anniebrook

Hi Haz! thanks
7:31 am
licketySplitAUS

Exactly! It deserves better carers.
7:31 am

herinfernallady

Or anyone that can answer a question on Dairy cows
7:34 am
Haz1558

Form an orderly queue, people.
7:34 am
herinfernallady

Are they naturally thin and sticky out bones on the rear end?
7:35 am
magbag

yes
7:35 am
Haz1558

It can depend on the breed.
7:35 am
Haz1558

And it can depend on the time of year.
7:36 am
herinfernallady

Ok. I saw this pic of a dairy moo cow and it was all sticky bones on its butt. I don't know much about dairy cows but meat cows mmmm tasty. Thanks Mag
7:36 am
Haz1558

Jersey cattle, for instance are naturally quite dainty.
7:38 am
herinfernallady

Ok. They just looked wrong thin but as I said I only have seen meat cows
7:39 am
herinfernallady

And I just couldn't believe the size of these cows I saw today. I know they are big and all but these breeds were HUGE
7:39 am

Hi to all. For some reason I am not getting the list Lickety altho you wrote earlier that it was up. Nice time to thank you for your help. (I actually might have missed him since he was going to work.)
7:54 am
rubyfoo

unfortunately, ours are not so well-groomed here. It was easy in Miami as the groomer picked them up in his air-conditioned van, but here they don't know how to groom chows.
7:54 am

8:16 am

8:16 am
rubyfoo

BTW, Annie, did you get the "Queens tornado"?
8:17 am
Anniebrook

got the te8
8:17 am
rubyfoo

it went right past my sister's house in Forest Hills knocking down many trees
8:17 am
Anniebrook

ruby, yes, I cant believe it but we did...the sound of the wind was awesomely frightening
8:18 am
rubyfoo

that's what she said! you don't expect that in NY
8:18 am
rubyfoo

she was lucky, no damage, but half a block away, trees were blocking the road
8:20 am
Anniebrook

ruby, I live in an apartment building on the 23rd floor and the lightening and thunder was not to be believed. They were trees down all over brooklyn but our immediate area was okay.
8:20 am
Anniebrook

There
8:20 am
rubyfoo

she was terrified
8:21 am
rubyfoo

when I lived in Illionois, we had warnings and the sky turned green, but I never saw one. However, they are to be expected in the Midwest
8:22 am
Anniebrook

Yes, I became frightened when it started. My friend was up from Florida and we were having dinner when it started. I commented on the sound of the wind and she kept saying stay away from the windows. SO of course I went over to watch the storm. The sky was almost black.
8:22 am
rubyfoo

scary to be on a high floor, too!
8:23 am
Anniebrook

I thought everything was going to fly off the terrace but the furniture and plants just moved around.
8:23 am
Anniebrook

I love living up here...the sunrise, sunsets, storms are wonderful. The views of the city are great.
8:24 am
JBV

good morning, Annie - glad to hear you had no damage from that storm - I saw it also - incredible wind, but we did not have the tornado damage
8:24 am

in Forest Hills some people in apartments had windows break, car windows blew out, trees fell over and took sidewalks with them. She's sending me photos

Hi JBV, lexo
8:27 am
lexophile

I'm from South Louisiana and I'd rather get out of the way of a hurricane... tornadoes are fascinating to watch on TV, but horrifying when they get close enough that you have to dash into the shelter and wait it out
8:28 am
Anniebrook

lexo, what I experienced in brooklyn was enough for me
8:29 am
lexophile

it does make for the most intense reality programming I've ever seen tho!

Hello, Une.

Annie, how's the cleanup going?
8:38 am
rubyfoo

any clue for the 10?
8:38 am
Uneaixoise

don't have it, ruby, sorry
8:39 am
Haz1558

de10 - if it began with con, it would refer to a mixture of flavours or elements. It's the plural of de9.
8:39 am
Anniebrook

Boo, I dont want to bore everyone with my experience again...I spoke about it at 8:17 for a while
8:40 am
Anniebrook

Boo, thanks for your concern
8:40 am
rubyfoo

how could a tornado be boring????
8:40 am
Haz1558

Or, to the de4/6, add what a director shouts when he wants the cameras to roll - minus the first letter.
8:40 am
Boobear

ok
8:41 am
Anniebrook

The cleanup is coming along fine. People who could not get out of their homes were helped first.

clue for ci 5/14
8:48 am
Haz1558

ci5/14 - a past tense.
8:50 am
Atalante

oooo, watching aussie masterchef and they used the word "daikon"!
8:51 am
Haz1558

Do they shout as loudly on Aussie Masterchef as they do on the British version. 'COOKING DOESN'T COME ANY HARDER THAN THIS!'
8:51 am
Atalante

yep1
8:51 am
Jivingjenny0

Hi, I find some of your clues very difficult - not used to them yet and I cannot understand the 9 or 10 words - please help!
8:53 am
Boobear

I can't find the ci 5/14
8:53 am
Haz1558

jiving - you can always use other resources like morewords or a2z to help find the words if the clues are difficult. (www.moreword.com or www.a2zwordfinder.com)
8:53 am
Atalante

sorry, can#t help haven't started yet!
8:53 am
Haz1558

It's the past tense of ci4, Boo.
8:54 am
Boobear

ty
8:54 am
Jivingjenny0

Thanks Haz, I do use more words for the shorter really obscure words, but not usually for the longer words.
8:54 am
Haz1558

de9 is de6 plus a charged particle at the end. de6 is formed by adding an army bed/baby's bed minus a vowel to de4/6 (think of the Art De** movement)
8:55 am
Haz1558

I find them useful if I have a vague idea of what the word might be, but need help to get it exactly right.
8:56 am
Atalante

ignore Haz, she gets commission from them
8:56 am
Haz1558

Only from morewords, a2z are holding out on me.
8:57 am
Atalante

naughty a2z!
9:00 am
Jivingjenny0

Found it!! them even! I love the chog, cheers me up no end. My husband has had a slight accident which will keep him in a chair for a few weeks and he is like a caged lion at the moment!
9:01 am
Atalante

that sounds familiar!
9:01 am
Haz1558

Well done, jiving! Sorry to hear about your husband. I hope he recovers completely.
9:02 am
Haz1558

When you say a chair, is it just an ordinary chair or a wheelchair?
9:02 am
Haz1558

(Working out how much sympathy to dole out)
9:03 am
Atalante

it could be a normal chair but still very painful
9:04 am
Boobear

clue for co 6/24 please
9:04 am
Haz1558

That's true.
9:04 am
Jivingjenny0

He can get around the house on crutches. He is a gardener and find being confined to the house absolute torture. He should make a complete recovery hopefully not too long ahead.
9:04 am
Haz1558

co6/24 - past tense of the co4 money.
9:04 am
Atalante

that deserves a good amount of sympathy
9:05 am
Haz1558

I can imagine it's frustrating for him having to be indoors if he's used to being outside, never mind the annoyance of limited mobility. Oodles of sympathy!
9:06 am
Haz1558

Whereabouts in the world are you, Jiving? Can he be put outside in a chair to sit, or is it too cold?
9:06 am
Jivingjenny0

He has broken a piece of bone off his knee and it has stuck somewhere it shouldn't. For the 1st time in 50 years (including when he had a heart attack) he asked to go to hospital because the pain was so bad.
9:06 am
Haz1558

Oh, poor man, it must be excruciating.
9:07 am
Jivingjenny0

We live near Oxford - cold but warmer than yesterday.
9:07 am
Atalante

ouch! I *know* how painful that is!
9:07 am
Jivingjenny0

Oxford England.
9:08 am
Haz1558

So it's not really a kindness to make him sit outside.
9:08 am
Atalante

I'm going to oxford this weekend ;)
9:08 am
Haz1558

Husband and I visited Oxford for a day on our little break across in England. It was lovely.
9:09 am
Jivingjenny0

We live in a little village about 6 miles from the city, very pretty and very quiet.
9:10 am
Atalante

lucky you!
9:10 am
Atalante

I get to drive through there constantly from the M40 to the Cotswolds
9:10 am
Haz1558

Yes, there were no end of pretty villages on show.
9:11 am
tceicher

oooo, Oxford, isn't that Inspector Morse's area?
9:11 am
Atalante

yep
9:11 am
Haz1558

Indeed.
9:12 am
tceicher

Gosh, I really liked him. Just watched one of the old episodes last evening
9:12 am

9:12 am

oops
9:12 am
Jivingjenny0

My brother-in-law worked for the Water Authority and made the rain for one of the Morse episodes
9:13 am
Haz1558

Now there's a claim to fame!
9:13 am
Atalante

cooool
9:14 am
tceicher

He had the most beautiful blue eyes....Morse, that is, not your brother in law
9:14 am
Haz1558

What colour are your brother-in-law's eyes?
9:16 am
Jivingjenny0

I've never looked in his eyes!! but as my husband and all 4 of his brothers are very much alike I would think they are brown.
9:16 am
Haz1558

Jiving obviously hasn't paid any heed to his eyes at all...
9:17 am
Haz1558

It looks like it's a no contest with Morse's blue eyes in that case.
9:18 am
Haz1558

I'd contend that Paul Newman could win the contest of the blue eyed boys.
9:18 am
Atalante

I'd agree there
9:19 am
Haz1558

Such a handsome man.
9:21 am
Atalante

though I like grey eyes at the moment
9:21 am
Haz1558

I can't think of anybody with grey eyes. Who do you have in mind?
9:22 am
FMitch

I like any eyes that sparkle, and crinkle at the edges when the face is smiling.

it stuck on two of the last cos: the 6 and 5 that follow the 5/12s. Stymied, actually
2:19 pm
Haz1558

Jayk - if you look at the point values, you'll see they need to use a high point tile.
2:20 pm
Haz1558

The first co5/22 looks like a plural, the next sounds like a comforting warm word and the co6/36 is its plural.
2:20 pm
Jayk

Ah ha Haz! I see now what I did. I counted off the LAST 2 when those were the ones I actually had. She said a bit incoherently
2:20 pm
Jayk

Yes.
2:21 pm
Haz1558

So, does that mean you've got them?
2:21 pm
Jayk

No. Oddly, I'm now back to square one. It IS the 2 directly after the 2 5/12s that I need.
2:22 pm
Haz1558

The co6 - female undergarment?
2:23 pm
Haz1558

And then co5 after it, remove one letter from the inch-reducing garment.
2:23 pm
Jayk

I am an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!
2:23 pm

I wouldn't go that far...

This game does things to you. I remember arguing with myself that there was so such word as so up (which is how I was pronouncing it to myself) - soup.
2:25 pm
Jayk

It does NOT, however, happen to you. One day I will see them ALL. Maybe

That's priceless!! Yes, I've done that!

Haz1558

Oh, Jayk, that's so flattering. I love this game, I just like that other people enjoy playing it as well.

2:33 pm
Haz1558

All I know is what was detailed on here. He went, his news did not go down well with all se7s of the family, he's come home, he's been busy.
2:34 pm
Jayk

I missed all that--I was in Paris. Oh dear.
2:35 pm
Haz1558

Paris? With the Se5/10 flowing through. I'm sure you enjoyed it.
2:35 pm
Jayk

It was as ever completely lovely
2:36 pm
Haz1558

It's fabulous, isn't it?
2:36 pm
Jayk

My favorite place on earth
2:36 pm
Haz1558

Does it still smell of Gauloises and garlic?
2:37 pm
Jayk

Not so much the garlic, but lots of people still smoke. (Another reason I love Italy and France. People do not feel they need to stop you on the street and lecture you)
2:38 pm
Jayk

so I'm now waiting for a lecture
2:38 pm

You'll have heard it all before!

Haz1558

Be happy on the days that are good, on the hard days, allow yourself to be sad and mourn.
3:08 pm
Haz1558

That's good - having company is helpful.
3:10 pm
Haz1558

I think it can take a long time to become adjusted to a new life. You sound as though you're taking care of yourself well. That's good.
3:11 pm
Jellen

Yes, that is exactly what I am doing...uncovering a new way of life...
3:12 pm
peg23

a little help with the de's??
3:13 pm
Haz1558

Sorry, had to give water to a thirsty dog!
3:14 pm
Haz1558

peg, do you have de4/6 ?
3:14 pm
peg23

yes
3:15 pm
Haz1558

You need to build on that for the longer words (de6, de9 and de10). de6 is de 4 plus an army bed/baby's bed, minus the vowel.
3:16 pm
Haz1558

de9 adds the letters of a charged particle, and de10 is the plural.
3:16 pm
Haz1558

de5/12 - to hold back, to influence against doing something.
3:17 pm
Haz1558

The prisoner usually de6/21 being guilty of the crime.
3:20 pm
peg23

an army bed?
3:20 pm
Haz1558

Camp bed? Where a baby sleeps? Take out the vowel. Or think of ***ton wool.
3:21 pm

Haz1558

That's made me sit up straighter...
3:32 pm
Jellen

I'm still slouching away...
3:34 pm
Haz1558

From what I can gather, people play babble sitting, slouching, lying down and all positions in between.
3:35 pm
Jellen

I'm frightfully comfortable slouching against the pillows on my bed, with my cats curled up beside me...
3:36 pm
Haz1558

You're just trying to make me jealous. Me, sitting up straight with a dog snoring away in the background.
3:36 pm
Haz1558

How so much noise can come from a small dog is beyond me.
3:37 pm
Jellen

My dog used to snore, as well as a couple of my previous cats...
3:38 pm
Haz1558

She seems to snore more the older she gets. Ditto for my husband.

today was a long day, stid
7:43 pm
Jellen

I'm watching Antiques Roadshow...the expert has pants on that look like black/white drapery material...
7:43 pm
Bugsaw

Is stidkid 1 having a rough time this year stid, or was it just a new day?
7:44 pm
stidmama

yes, and it's getting longer, seain. *sigh* BUT I have some lovely cappucino flavored "ice cream" that I will indulge in later...
7:44 pm
Scrabbler

Haha, Jellen.
7:45 pm
stidmama

bugs, it's a LONG story. was supposed to start the college classes today, but not sure he did... not going to go into details, or scrabs will need to prescribe sedatives to get my blood pressure down.
7:45 pm
Scrabbler

Stid, "This too shall pass."
7:45 pm
stidmama

anyway, I am feeling --- as if I have abandoned my family because it seems that when I don't take charge of details things are not put in place for anyone.
7:45 pm
Jellen

Oh, stid...(((hugs)))
7:46 pm
stidmama

thanks jellen.
7:46 pm
Bugsaw

We don't allow that in Canada but I was in my senior year in the USA and thot it was a terrific idea to let kids who were ready move on. He will discover college is like high school with less scolding.
7:46 pm
Scrabbler

But they must learn independence + responsibility too.
7:46 pm
stidmama

and I really am not "super mom" who can do this graduate level work AND take care of the details.
7:46 pm
Jellen

It has to be a learning experience for them too, stid.
7:46 pm
dcseain

{{{stid}}}
7:47 pm
Bugsaw

Don't beat yourself up stid. Remember, you don't want to be an enabler. Kids will often only do something when they know you won't
7:47 pm
stidmama

what he discovered last year was that he wasn't ready for the independence of college classes -- he needs more scaffolding than regular students, and didn't get what he needed in high school or in the transition last year.
7:47 pm
stidgmere

You know, I've been thinking. The consequences need to fall on those who neglect the details--not those who are being responsible.
7:47 pm
Scrabbler

Perhaps this is a good learning experience for your boys.
7:47 pm
wht

Stid, I think that those "super moms" are mythological creatures.
7:48 pm
stidmama

oops. hello mother, you caught me whinging on again...
7:48 pm
stidgmere

Actually wht, I was a super mom--in theory until I resigned.
7:48 pm
stidmama

yes, my mother "did it ALL" (and then some) -- I am a pretty poor excuse for a mother to be honest. But I do my best, and hope for better.
7:48 pm
dcseain

well said, stidgmere
7:49 pm
Jellen

My parents took care of too many details when I was growing up, I fear...still learning...
7:49 pm
Bugsaw

thanks Jellen. You just made my point much better than I did.
7:49 pm
stidgmere

How does Martha Stewart do it? Investing, baking cakes, prison, baking cakes?
7:49 pm
stidmama

all I can say is, I was a pretty darn good admin assistant ... could handle multiple details and meet deadlines and ...
7:50 pm
stidmama

rofl mother!
7:50 pm
stidmama

and all color coordinated, too? *grin*
7:50 pm
Jellen

I need an admin. assistant!
7:50 pm
wht

She bakes the files into the cakes???
7:50 pm
Scrabbler

You KNOW that is not true, Stid. You are a great mom. Mothers always feel guilty + inadequate. But you must slowly let your sons assume more responsibility.
7:50 pm
Jellen

lol, stidgmere...
7:51 pm
wht

My monkeys are in good form tonight. They just found the pr7/9 when I was on the verge of asking for a clue.
7:51 pm
Bugsaw

There is no shame for stidkid to learn the hard way. If he declined assistance that he was offered, he will have to work harder to find new strategies for success but he is related to some wonderful people who are FULL of ideas and helpful strategies. It does not matter where they come from
7:51 pm
Scrabbler

Clues welki?
7:52 pm
stidgmere

Let's face it, we are all pretty darn good people. We just keep picking ourselves up after we get down. That, is success.
7:52 pm
stidmama

I wish ... *sigh* I wish we actually lived IN town.

I wish I were not commuting 4 hours a day (2 hrs each way)


I wish things were straighforward, and and and...
7:52 pm
Scrabbler

Life is not easy nor fair. And grad school does have an end in sight.
7:52 pm
wht

pr7. A non-amateur cult???
7:52 pm
stidmama

success, mother? or just not knowing when we're beat?


sometimes I feel as if I am throwing everything at the wall just hoping something -- anything -- will stick
7:53 pm
Bugsaw

all good wishes stid.
7:53 pm
stidmama

thanks wht
7:53 pm
Scrabbler

Do you have family meetings? You can discuss chores, responsibilities, concerns...
7:53 pm
Bugsaw

ty wht
7:54 pm
Scrabbler

Thinking about "cult."
7:54 pm
stidmama

no scrabs, those do not work in our family. I have to call the meetings, and I end up being the person who tries to make sure the agreements are met afterwards.
7:54 pm
Bugsaw

religious cult or religious ++++
7:54 pm
stidmama

they're a good idea, but the modeling has to happen in the earlier years and consistency needs to be the key.
7:55 pm
Scrabbler

TY, Bugsaw
7:55 pm
stidmama

ah, tom and the kiddo are home. I will be back with news in a moment.
7:55 pm
Bugsaw

family contract work better at this age stid. You just agree to stuff for a week or two at a time
7:55 pm
Bugsaw

anxiously awaiting news. . . .
7:56 pm
stidgmere

Me to bugsaw. These are the things that bring gray hair.
7:57 pm
Scrabbler

I agree, Bugsaw. List responsibilities + expectations for each person in the family.
7:58 pm
Bugsaw

then make them sign that they agreed to it. I did them with my boys to stop fighting and arguing. It worked because we all knew what the other one needed to be happy and still get stuff sorted out and we only had to agree for a short time so it wasn't overwhelming
7:59 pm
Scrabbler

It's better for an adolescent to learn tough lessons while in HS, rather than in college.
7:59 pm
Scrabbler

Good, Bugsaw.
7:59 pm
Bugsaw

could not have been said better Scrabbler.
7:59 pm
Jellen

True, Scrabbler...
7:59 pm
Bugsaw

or at least while they are still at home
8:00 pm
Bugsaw

home can be a good place to land when things don't work as planned
8:00 pm
Scrabbler

I see both problems: underinvolved, self-absorbed parents that neglect their kids's needs, and "helicopter" parents that delay their kids' maturation into responsible adults.
8:00 pm
Arachnight

how many?
8:01 pm

192
8:01 pm

192 words
8:01 pm

back. kid is in two of the three classes he wanted, waitlisted for the third.
8:01 pm
Jellen

Good, stid!
8:01 pm
Bugsaw

YAY for stidkid!! two might be just enough
8:02 pm
Scrabbler

Good, Stid. But when will he know about the 3rd? When do classes begin?
8:02 pm
stidgmere

Sounds promising, mama.
8:02 pm
Jellen

Is he a senior this year?
8:02 pm
stidmama

two would be enough. he needs to do well in the classes or he won't get the financial aid he will need for the 4 year college.
8:03 pm
stidmama

classes began today scrabs... he thought he was signed up and then we found out on Friday that he hadn't paid something and was dropped. *sigh*
8:03 pm
stidmama

my preference, given that he needs to learn how to use some new accommodations, is that he take the two classes and take the third another time.
8:04 pm
Scrabbler

OK, I am happy with 60 words. Sis wants to check her e-mail, then we will play Scrabble.
8:04 pm
Jellen

G'night, Scrabbler...have fun!
8:04 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams scrabs and scrab-sis
8:04 pm

and fate made sure the right amount was made available to him without your interference. YAY for stidmama letting go!

I'm going to give shdy a call...haven't heard from her in a while...

oh, good idea jellen. *anxious mama look* I fear I am very out of the loop with her. I hope all is well.
8:06 pm

that is what I mean stid. One of my hardest lessons was to stop trying to push the river and remember that it would flow best by itself.

ah... I see. very smart! I can babble-chat on my phone, too... but not play and chat. too tiny a screen for my eyes for that.
8:40 pm

The blog helps me figure out my personal style and what cuts work well on my body. Its more a learning blog, but if I look good, all the better!
8:40 pm
dcseain

i cannot babble-chat on my phone, as i've not been able to figure out how to do a hard return.
8:40 pm
stidmama

I don't think I look bad... just... frumpy. rather like the queen mum would have looked when out for a constitutional, I think... if she had worn slacks.
8:40 pm
EvaNadine

I can enlarge the display on my phone. :)
8:42 pm
EvaNadine

I had lost all caring for fashion. Which is sad as I'm a mere 31. The blog helps hold me accountable for caring. Until I go near 2 months without posting a photo... :/

what are heuristics? in relation to computers?
8:49 pm
lbdawger

(((STIDDY)))
8:50 pm
dcseain

Heuristic is an adjective for experience-based techniques that help in problem solving, learning and discovery.
8:50 pm
dcseain

so, the art of problem-solving, in short.
8:51 pm
lbdawger

a diagnostic said i was needing a heuristic repair...of course it wants me to download another program at a pretty pricy tune
8:51 pm
dcseain

which diagnostic said that? Windows can self-repair usually.
8:52 pm
lbdawger

that's what i was thinking, but the program that was "needing" repair was IE...shoot, should have written it all down.
8:53 pm
dcseain

in that case, go to microsoft.com and download IE and reinstall it
8:53 pm
dcseain

back up your bookmarks first, in case, there is an option to export them to a file; you can import them again after reinstall if not there
8:53 pm
lbdawger

ty, that's what i was thinking, but needed your expert advice.
8:54 pm
dcseain

no point in paying to fix a thing that can be had for free \
8:56 pm
lbdawger

where do i go to find the option to export the bookmarks?
8:57 pm
dcseain

file -- import/export or similar -- it's been over a year since i used a windows machine
8:57 pm
dcseain

i'm pretty sure it's under File and not Bookmarks
8:59 pm
lbdawger

found it, thanks!
8:59 pm
