mcurlschool
they are daring aren't they---ours come after the apples but this year they were to high on the tree! They don't like my flowers much--wrong kind!
12:40 am
Bugsaw
Veggies are fenced but they bite the heads off of the flowers and then spit them out if they don't like them.
12:40 am
flosey
one of our apple trees, usually heavily laden with fruit, is totally void of apples

Good morning Babblers ... is there a list anywhere ??

Hello, Norma. Not as far as I know.

I have been kind of busy, but my mind has been playing with it anyway.

Do let me know if you come up with any more, won't you?

Tyrone Malone: paradise by the dashboard light

Haz1558
I had to google Tyrone Malone!
3:14 am
sprite
lol... then maybe it is not such a good one. He is a famous trucker though.
3:15 am
Haz1558
He sounds pretty Irish with a name like that.
3:17 am
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
sprite
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
Norma
Is it a tough grid sprite or am i just being thick ;-)
3:25 am
sprite
no, on her skirt blowing up
3:26 am
Soodlebum
I was thinking of the scene in The 7 year itch....
3:26 am
Haz1558
Ah! That makes sense!
3:26 am
sprite
extremely tough, Norma, don't worry
3:27 am
sprite
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
sprite
I do see promising endings though, Norma
3:28 am
Haz1558
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.
3:30 am
Soodlebum
Haz, you forgot the Babblers Anthem in your song list....the old BeeGees classic WORDS.
3:30 am

Keep the clues coming Haz

Well done, Soodle. The fog is shifting in your head.
3:31 am
Haz1558
That se6 can be made into 2 se7 by adding different vowels on the end.
3:31 am
Haz1558
Soodle - do you belong in the alto or soprano se7 of the choir?
3:31 am
Soodlebum
I'm humming in se****s and thirds....(see double post)
3:32 am
Soodlebum
Haz - given my performance inhibitor, I am down there with the men this morning..
3:32 am

I thought you were humming different harmonies
3:33 am

If l7 and l8 had an e in front, the voters would be queuing at the poll stations.

BabbleRabble! So good to see you. Have been thinking of you a lot, because I didn't see you in chat at all. How are you doing?
3:38 am
Haz1558
pr9 - past tense of pr7 - same structure save for one letter of a word meaning to look after, to nurture.
3:38 am
Soodlebum
Hello BabbleRabble, how nice to see you :-)
3:39 am
BabbleRabble
I am not so well, but that is not so abnormal --- in an odd sense
3:40 am

I knew you were still babbling, we'd all realised you weren't feeling like contributing to chat.
3:40 am

used to feeling not so well, yeah. I really wish there was a way to break that 'habit' for you :)

Well, I'm glad you've spoken up today, BabbleRabble. It's like a clue feeding frenzy with this lot. They're claiming all sorts of impediments to finding words so just as well you're here to help them out.

3:46 am
gortmold
but you should see the non-words i tried to get bab's clue: reclip, denic, dedic, etc
3:47 am
Haz1558
te8 - plural of te7 - first three letters of the continental plate te8, add a chesty bird (three letters) wrap up with a vowel.
3:47 am
gortmold
lol haz re chesty bird
3:48 am

And lastly, because I really need to get some other things done, you'll find that the biggest words build off the Art De4/6. Think extraction of flavours.
3:50 am

thinking hard, there haz, might blow a brain valve
3:51 am
Haz1558
You're welcome - I thought the performance inhibited deserved some help, but I'll bow out now. Enjoy the grid and I'll be back later to try to get some more.

4:25 am
Jayk
Oh YES! Someone PLEASE make a list!!
4:27 am

yes, I did that for the list, got words, letters and points in 3 columns. Inserted a column after the words. Formula in first cell of new column.
4:27 am
ARB
Sprite, you can send the complete list to my email address and I'll try to do it.
4:28 am
ARB
You must to control c and control v on that first formula cell and then drag down from the next row.

Now I'm really curious. save the spreadsheet and send it to me as an attachment in an email. I want to see this. I spend my career debugging programs!
4:43 am
sprite
here is an epiphany. My Excel is dutch. Let me try Links in stead of Left
4:45 am
sprite
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
4:53 am
sprite
yes that was it
4:54 am
BabbleRabble
Well done, sprite
4:55 am
gran
Has anyone posted a list for today?
4:55 am

thank you :)
A bit slow, but it worked!
List is in my profile now.
4:56 am
BabbleRabble
How are you doing, sprite?
4:58 am
sprite
am doing rather good, having some insights that should help me get a little better. Am 'practicing' a lot atm. Not easy, but worth it.
And my father is 'cooperating' by being a pain in the butt, so I can practice where it should do the most good.
4:59 am
BabbleRabble
Good for you. It is so nice of your father.
5:00 am

*grin* Yes, isn't it.
5:01 am

yw lyn! Am glad I now know how to work the list in Excel.
5:01 am
BabbleRabble
How are the children?
5:01 am
ARB
aha -- that must be because of the difference in keyboards.
5:04 am
sprite
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
5:05 am
sprite
I think so too, Arb. I should have read the help text better as soon as I got the error message. Thanks for your help.

there
5:08 am

thanks for asking, BabbleRabble.
I am always a bit hesitant to ask you for details on how you are doing, because I know you don't often want to talk about it. But you know I really care.
5:08 am

and always will be
5:08 am

yes, life can be hard. A lot of pain to deal with and hard work to find some balance.
5:13 am
BabbleRabble
I can talk for hours about what I am thinking -- but nothing will change.

I am always interested in what you are thinking, but I understand about it not changing anything. Your insights have helped me often, though.

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

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

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

Babble Rabble were did you go?
5:36 am

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.

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

6:57 am
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
6:59 am
licketySplitAUS

carleekat

7:00 am
carleekat
hi herin
7:00 am
jmcnrick
i would think with the drought it is pretty much all year round now
7:01 am
herinfernallady
Hey sorry my eyes are very stalk like tonight.
7:01 am
herinfernallady
I found out something interesting about Alpacas today
7:01 am
jmcnrick
did you have fun today with all the animals?
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
carleekat
( this grid stinks)
7:03 am
jmcnrick
*quickly knocks on wood*
7:03 am
jmcnrick
how interesting i never heard of that for kangaroos either
7:04 am
jmcnrick
what is that quote about infinite variety?
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
7:07 am
herinfernallady
Jm Did you see my pics?
7:08 am
jmcnrick

7:15 am
Anniebrook
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
Haz1558
Hello, Annie - good afternoon/evening all.
7:31 am
licketySplitAUS
We would even take it on.
7:32 am
NonoNanette

7:32 am
licketySplitAUS
Hi Haz!
7:33 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Nono - hello lickety.
7:33 am
herinfernallady
Haz random question about cows
7:33 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
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
Haz1558
I know, they're big.
7:40 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
Anniebrook
can i get a clue for pr 7/36?
7:54 am
rubyfoo
they're afraid of them
7:55 am
Haz1558

Hi Ruby and Haz

NonoNanette
I liked the movie, ruby
8:02 am
NonoNanette
I think it was Eat, Pray, Love
8:02 am
rubyfoo

8:12 am

rubyfoo
I thought it was a phnatom at first
8:15 am
Anniebrook
ruby, clue please
8:16 am
Boobear
my favorite word is co4
8:16 am
rubyfoo
the motion of the plates in an earthquake
8:16 am
Anniebrook
thanks ruby, will work on it
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
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
rubyfoo
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
8:24 am
rubyfoo
which part of Brooklyn?
8:25 am
Anniebrook
Brighton Beach
8:25 am
lexophile
hello babblers... I am just outside of Oklahoma City and am positively TERRIFIED of tornadoes! my house has 2 storm shelters
8:25 am
rubyfoo
hello lexo!
8:25 am
Anniebrook
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!
8:30 am
rubyfoo
hahah lexo
8:30 am
rubyfoo
speaking of Louisiana, zideco is a phantom!
8:31 am
lexophile
my hubby and I are completely glued to the TV in the spring when there are tornado warnings... can't sleep at all
8:32 am
lexophile
lots of phantoms in this grid, like 'recondition'
8:34 am
rubyfoo
half! yay
8:34 am

Hi Une!
8:36 am
Boobear
Hi How are you? Mom and I were wondering how you weathered the storm last week. We were worried about you
8:36 am
rubyfoo
bonjour, une!
8:36 am
Haz1558
Hello, Une.
8:37 am
Uneaixoise
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.
8:41 am
Anniebrook
The cleanup is coming along fine. People who could not get out of their homes were helped first.
8:41 am
Uneaixoise

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
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
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?
9:12 am
tceicher
Gosh, I really liked him. Just watched one of the old episodes last evening
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!
9:14 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.
9:22 am
FMitch
Afternoon/morning all.
9:22 am
Haz1558
Hello, FM!
9:22 am
FMitch
Hello stranger! Hi HAz!
9:23 am
Atalante
there's a guy I know through the Tolkien people, and he has the most incredible grey eyes. and they really are grey. not blue not light blue. it's very odd
9:23 am
Jivingjenny0
Must depart now, thanks for the chat & sympathy for my husband.
9:24 am
FMitch
I don't hink I have every met anyone with grey eyes either.
9:24 am
Haz1558
Nice to see you, jiving and hope you get a fair share of patience to cope with the patient.
9:25 am
FMitch
Are you all set for the exhibition Ata?
9:25 am
Atalante

9:25 am
FMitch
Blimey - how many pics have you done?

It's SO complicated.
9:30 am
Atalante
it's gorgeous in real life
9:30 am
FMitch
wow that is quite something, what size is it?
9:31 am
Haz1558
FM is speechless.
9:31 am
Atalante
about 30cm diameter for the circle
9:31 am
FMitch
It should be an elven shield.
9:31 am
Haz1558
So, a foot in old money.
9:32 am
FMitch
Gosh Ata that must have taken you ages to do, so intricate.
Yes Haz :)
9:33 am
Atalante
yes Haz :) It did take a while!
9:33 am
FMitch
Whts todays grid like? Yesterdays was such a gentle one.
9:34 am
Haz1558
It's not really gentle today.
9:34 am
FMitch
hmmm OK, might pass then.

9:37 am

9:37 am
FMitch

Yay Angel!
9:38 am

ye gods you two are going through the wars down there - Kent is not a safe place.

9:39 am
Atalante
she's a little monster!
9:40 am
FMitch
and is the glittery one all well and dandy too Haz?
9:40 am
Haz1558
She's fine - out for a walk with husband (he's still off on holiday).
9:40 am
FMitch
but she is such a beguiling and beautiful monster Ata.
9:41 am

Angelsong - thats great - have you been waiting a long time?

9:41 am

9:41 am

afternoon all. Bit late today.
2:17 pm
Jayk
afternoon all. Bit late today.
2:18 pm
Jayk
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
2:21 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
Haz1558
I wouldn't go that far...
2:23 pm
Haz1558
Misguided, perhaps.
2:24 pm
Haz1558
It happens to all of us. Okay, most of us.
2:25 pm
Haz1558
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
2:25 pm
Jayk
That's priceless!! Yes, I've done that!
2:25 pm
Ouwachita
how many words today?
2:26 pm
Haz1558
Oh, it happens to me, Jayk, I just don't tell anyone!
2:26 pm
Haz1558
192, Ouwachita.
2:26 pm
Ouwachita
thanks Haz
2:26 pm
Ouwachita
got 190
2:26 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome - you're almost there!
2:27 pm
Jayk
Good to know. You're prtty much my role model
2:27 pm
cosdem
i need the last do 4/5
2:27 pm
Haz1558
Oh, Jayk, that's so flattering. I love this game, I just like that other people enjoy playing it as well.
2:28 pm
Haz1558
do4/5 - a word that can mean to have excessive affection for someone, or to be slightly senile.
2:29 pm
cosdem
hmm thanks
2:31 pm
cosdem
ahh duhh lol got it
2:31 pm
Haz1558
I thought you would.
2:32 pm
Haz1558
No problem.
2:32 pm
Jayk
HaZ--do you know what happened with Nancy Boy? His trip? I now cannot locate his profile. Worrying
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
Haz1558
You'll have heard it all before!
2:39 pm
Jayk
Indeed! OK, time to go back to earning a living. Manana
2:39 pm
Haz1558
A demain!
2:45 pm
HarryHood
how can there be 11 on the right hand I? I can only find 1.
2:46 pm
Haz1558
You'll get four from the word that means to provoke something like a riot.
2:47 pm
ChrissieDee
I've got a lazy 4 and more so 5

You're welcome.
2:52 pm

I'm spending way too much time looking for eclectic and dialectic and erection
2:53 pm
HarryHood

2:53 pm

I know, I wanted denizen as well. No go. And no e word longer than four letters.

Haz1558
Hello, Jellen.
3:04 pm
Jellen
How are you, Haz? It's unseasonably warm here.
3:05 pm
Haz1558
I'm very well. We're heading towards autumn, I'm afraid, the temperatures are definitely cooling. Not that they ever reach any dramatic levels.
3:05 pm
Haz1558
What about you?
3:06 pm
Jellen
I'm managing fairly well...my days are not entirely bleak...
3:07 pm
Haz1558
Some days will be fine, other days will be awful.
3:08 pm
Jellen
I've greatly increased my civic/social activities, which is not difficult to do this time of year...
3:08 pm
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 ?
3:15 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.
3:22 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome.
3:24 pm
hurshy
if you sell 8 things at sotheby's, could that be an oction?
3:25 pm
Haz1558
I suppose so.
3:25 pm
Haz1558
How are you?
3:25 pm
hurshy
i'm alright, thank you QotW
3:25 pm
Jellen
Hello, hurshy!

3:26 pm
Jellen

3:27 pm
hurshy

3:29 pm
Jellen
Chiro? Take care!
3:30 pm
Haz1558
I'll not say 'enjoy' but hope it's okay!
3:30 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.
3:45 pm

7:11 pm
Jellen
Don't think they're here...get a bunch of points?
7:11 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, after Pini already complained I'm killing them!
7:11 pm
Gеогgе
that's all right, she clobbered us last game!
7:12 pm
Jellen
I'm not a very good Scrabble player...lack strategic foresight...
7:14 pm
Gеогgе
oh yeah, well that comes with practice!
7:14 pm
Bugsaw
Me too Jellen. I am still learning to use the points on the board for a higher total
7:16 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, the more you play the better you get at it, if you make a conscious effort to do that--that's what I found anyhow!
7:16 pm
cosdem
how could i have missed the in6 - creepy crawlers
7:17 pm
cosdem
sounds a clock makes
7:17 pm
Bugsaw
I used to play on line with real people George and every time I got a 7 letter word or played something I was proud of, my opponent would just log off!
7:17 pm
blueheron
sorry peoples, I'm still here
7:17 pm
Jellen
Thanks, cos!
7:18 pm
Gеогgе
well yeah, Bugsaw -- think most people online are real human being, lol!

7:18 pm
blueheron

7:19 pm
stidmama
how's the grid?
7:19 pm
Bugsaw
STID! how goes school for you? I have not been here much lately to know
7:20 pm
Jellen
I don't think it's that bad, but I've been poking away at it a long time!
7:20 pm
Gеогgе
halo, stidmama!
7:20 pm
stidmama
oh bugs... *sigh* it goes. There are things I like, things I really don't like, and loads of despair that are only now being tempered by progress. I still HATE the actual master's program I am in. (wishing there were a stronger word for hate that is polite for mixed company)
7:21 pm
stidmama
I will take a few minutes to play then. sorry for the vent, thanks for "listening"
7:21 pm
Jellen
loathe....despise....?
7:21 pm
stidmama
how is your school year going?
7:21 pm
Gеогgе
abhor? detest?
7:22 pm
stidmama
loathe... despise... (of course, I am in a "room" with WORD WIZARDS!!!!) roflma
7:22 pm
Jellen
Just keep your eye on your goal stid...it should sustain you!
7:22 pm
stidmama
oops. roflmao
7:22 pm
stidmama
abhor. that's the one!
*demonstrating abhorrence*
7:22 pm
Gеогgе
<< good for something, once in a while
7:22 pm
stidmama
thanks Jellen. the goal this week is to keep working on "theme" with four classes that have at maximum 60% engagement with school...
7:23 pm
stidmama

7:23 pm
Jellen
Well done, George!
7:24 pm
Bugsaw
sorry stid, got distracted by phone.
7:24 pm

7:25 pm
Bugsaw
School is very weird for me this year. The stupid provincial government decided that every school in the whole province had to store its data on the same site. Obviously, there are gateway problems and every day is full of chaos.
7:25 pm
Gеогgе
guten morgen--bloody early morgen, Inge! ha!
7:25 pm
stidmama
it's okay bugs, I get easily distracted, too. will take a sleeping pill tonight -- almost fell asleep on the way to the school this morning, so MUST sleep more soundly tonight.
7:26 pm
Gеогgе
on the way? not while driving??
7:26 pm
stidmama
oh no, bugs! they haven't heard about the advantages of distributed networks???? *shakes head* state of washington has decided to consolidate all of the state gov't computer stuff as much as possible, and it seems like a really bad idea to me (thinking back to my time doing records retention and archiving)
7:26 pm
stidgmere
Hi mama. Glad to see you on the chat. Just need to stop for a minute and start dinner cooking. I'll be back shrotly.
7:26 pm
stidmama
guten abend, sehr liebe inge! wie geht's?
7:27 pm
Bugsaw
I keep getting separated from the kids I would be able to do the most work with and I am getting fed up. The school administrators have a different philosophy than I do too and that could make for a long year. We will see. I am ever the optimist
7:27 pm
stidmama
I haven't seen BR in AGES, inge. I miss him. I miss you, too.
7:28 pm
stidmama
(((bugs hugs))) it's rough to be in that situation. But if anyone can do it, you can. And I know that when you are with the kids, they are getting just what they need.
7:28 pm
Bugsaw
Just like you will make it thru the Masters program and be there for the kids, stid
7:30 pm

Hello Babblers.
7:30 pm

7:33 pm
Scrabbler
Inge, I have missed you.
7:33 pm
stidmama
my own eyes have been giving me fits... I have the lettering BIG on my computer these days. But if I am careful, I no longer have the headaches that were plaguing me for so many years.
7:33 pm

7:33 pm
Jellen
Scrabbler, I really like book you recommended to me...

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...
7:54 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
stidmama
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
Bugsaw
and fate made sure the right amount was made available to him without your interference. YAY for stidmama letting go!
8:05 pm
Jellen
I'm going to give shdy a call...haven't heard from her in a while...
8:05 pm
stidmama

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
Bugsaw
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.
8:06 pm
stidmama
or at least ... not ALL -- but to a level that is manageable
8:07 pm

Hello EvaNadine are you just starting or coming back?
8:20 pm
EvaNadine
I love this phone if for no other reason than that I can chat while relaxing in the tub. ::grin::
8:21 pm
EvaNadine
Gmere: I was around earlier. Just winding down for the night.
8:24 pm
stidgmere
We're going to have our dinner now--I need to fix some veggies. Have a good evening all.

8:29 pm

8:29 pm

8:33 pm

8:35 pm
EvaNadine
::singin and dancin::
8:35 pm
EvaNadine
Can anybody find me somebody toooooooo loooooooove??
8:35 pm
stidmama
I really really like that green top and tan skirt combo in your flickr pics, EvaN!
8:36 pm
stidmama
and grumbling and mumbling, EvaN... the commute is NEVER improved by hard rainfall.
8:36 pm
stidmama
???? *wonders where EvaN's BF is*
8:37 pm
EvaNadine
Ahh, the pencil skirt? I like that combo too! I gotta get back into taking my daily photos -- the blog is fairly dead without them!
8:37 pm
dcseain
the commute is never improved by precipitation of any stripe!
8:37 pm
wht
striped precipitation is particularly bad.
8:37 pm
EvaNadine
Dear fiance is at soccer. I'm just relaxing in the tub before bedtime. :)
8:37 pm
dcseain
beautiful icon, EvaN
8:37 pm
stidmama
TMI... aren't you afraid the computer will fall in an ZAP! you?
8:37 pm
dcseain
indeed so, wht
8:37 pm
wht
I much prefer it in checks or plaids. :^)
8:37 pm
stidmama
LOL wht!
8:38 pm
EvaNadine
Thanky, dc. Don't remember how/where I found it, but I <3 it.
8:38 pm
stidmama
my mentor teacher kindly handed me a "how to dress" workshop flyer today... LOL
8:38 pm
stidmama
I guess "dowdy" isn't appropriate for teaching!
8:38 pm
stidmama
I am much too middle-aged to care about being fashionable I am afraid.
8:39 pm
EvaNadine
Heh, cellphone, stid. Carefully hung over side of tub, so if dropped will not land in tub.
8:39 pm
stidmama
I like floral precip, myself...
8:39 pm
dcseain
i like to look nice, and if i'm fashionable, bonus
8:39 pm
stidmama
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
EvaNadine
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... :/
8:43 pm
stidmama
well... I posted my icon pic of my new jacket... does that count? LOL
8:44 pm
dcseain
fun jacket :)
8:44 pm
EvaNadine
Hate to chat-n-run, but I'm turning into a prune. Time to skidaddle. :)
8:45 pm
dcseain
sweet dreams, EvaN
8:45 pm
stidmama
thanks seain. It has BIG pockets to hold all my teacher requirements (glasses, pens, sticky notes, candy...) but the room I am in is so warm I don't wear it as much as I thought I would.
8:45 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams EvaN! nice to see you... looking forward to some more pics!
8:45 pm
wht
Night Eva. In fact Night all. Happy Babbling.
8:46 pm
stidmama
so Mother and I will use the same pattern to make a reversible vest. I LOVE the pockets...

8:48 pm

8:48 pm
lbdawger
DC are you still here?
8:49 pm
dcseain
hi, dawg, i am, back from laundry
8:49 pm
stidmama
thanks LBD -- it wasn't in the budget, but I really DID need the bigger screen. I can read for almost 2 hours sometimes now.
8:49 pm
dcseain
g'night stid
8:49 pm
dcseain
oh, what's up with the machine, dawg?
8:49 pm
stidmama
(((hugs all))) see you again in a few days! *poof*
8:49 pm
lbdawger
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
lbdawger
will have to do the download tomorrow, too punchy to do it tonight.
8:59 pm
lbdawger
you are my lifesaver, DC!
9:00 pm
dcseain
all good, and my pleasure :)
9:02 pm
