hiya movie my man!

And Kaplan: the enable version Babble uses doesn't know the internet. So how should it know about spam?

loved your profile, movie man! Have you seen Deadwood, my all-time favorite American series. Great movies: Almost Famous, Blowup, Chocolat, Plots with a View, and 1000's of others. Does the star of Bones have Aspergers' do you think? I would love to have an Aspergers friend as I think I';m borderline as I identify movies from one voice, one line, just from having read the review. And use IMDB, too
6:42 am

How can there be a plural of mi6?
6:52 am
sprite

have fun movieman!

Molly, I really really don't know. It is a crazy plural.
6:52 am
hurshy

maybe it's not a plural, but an alternate way some people say it, molly. like some people say "anyways"
6:52 am
Kaplan the Magne

There can be two mi6's- one in each hemisphere?
6:53 am
hurshy

or something like "amidships" which applies to one ship
6:53 am
MollyL

I don't know. Some people say "alot" but it's not a recognized word.
6:53 am
Kaplan the Magne

How come someone has no name oricon?
6:54 am
Kaplan the Magne

or icon?
6:54 am
MollyL

*Stops wondering what a name oricon is*
6:54 am
MollyL

I think it's because they haven't gone pro.
6:55 am
Kaplan the Magne

Usually they get a name...
6:55 am
MollyL

Oh but wait, they would have a name. Hmm.
6:55 am
hurshy

but "alot" is just a writing mistake - it's "a lot" - which are too short to count in babble. and sometimes, depending on the type of mistake something is, if enough people say it, it becomes the truth. (credit s colbert). or "anyway" and "anyways" could have arisen simultaneously among neighboring groups of people.
6:56 am
Flask1

a clue please for the 7 please?
6:56 am

I hate people who say "anyhoo."

I just started. I FINALLY had a good night of sleep after 3 wks of insomnia.

hi Sue
8:14 am

oh wow, scrabs, that must have been awful (the insomnia, not the sleep)
8:15 am
Scrabbler

Yes, it was frustrating.
8:15 am
NonoNanette

thats a long stretch Scrabs, gald you finally got some good sleep
8:15 am
Kaplan the Magne

I am an advocate of ambien. Insomnia is hell.
8:16 am
Scrabbler

I use melatonin but that only helps me fall to sleep, then I'm wide awake in 3 hrs. I took Benadryl last night.
8:17 am
uusue2

I went through long periods of difficult sleep; ambien helped but what finally did the trick was divorce :-) (not that I am recommending it!!!)
8:17 am
cybernan

good morning, all :)
8:17 am
Kaplan the Magne

Melatonin and benadryl do nothing for me if I am in a badsleep cycle.
8:17 am
Kaplan the Magne

Ididn't try the divorce route though.
8:17 am
uusue2

morning, nan!
8:18 am
NonoNanette

hi Nan
8:18 am
Scrabbler

My sleep is very sensitive to my daily life so if I have an overstimulating day or I am worried then sleep is disrupted.
8:18 am
Scrabbler

Hi Nan
8:18 am
uusue2

I was being facetious but my point was that if distress is keeping you awake then sometimes the only real solution is to remove the source of distress (not always possible, of course, or even desirable)
8:18 am
Scrabbler

Qu tile is grey!
8:19 am
uusue2

you're one ahead of me then, scrabs!
8:19 am
Scrabbler

The source of my stress is my dysfunctional family, esp one of my sisters.

Ah. Families can be very difficult.

I have a quandry. DH is back in bed (since 10:30A, after getting up at 9) Our daughter has her roller derby bout tonight; and I just asked DH if I should try and see if a friend would go to the bout with me and he can just stay in bed all day (this is something that NEVER happens!). He said yes. I'm worrying about him; and now my 2 closest friends aren't able to go to the bout with me. What to do....
2:01 pm
ChampFit

What are you worried about?
2:02 pm
Nef

first, DH. Second, I already have the tickets...
2:03 pm

Is DH sick or having a lazy day? Sometimes you just gotta regroup!
2:04 pm

I'm worried he's sick (he has M.S.) but he never knows he's sick til he's in trouble.
2:04 pm
Nef

I'm a nurse; I watch him like a hawk to try and keep him out of trouble
2:05 pm
ChampFit

Then you won't feel comfortable leaving. Decision made!
2:07 pm
Nef

Yeah; except he's always made sure that one or the other of us is at either of our kids' functions. She's 28 (for goodness sake!); but he still thinks we have to be at her events. She broke her arm once in grade school when neither of us were there; you know how dads are about their dtrs!

AND we were taking his 85 yr old Aunt with us to the bout!

Buh dum ching! The camel joke that just keeps on giving. : P
3:08 pm
uusue2

Here is the actual version from Joys of Yiddish (my memory has faded over the years, obviously): Lefkowitz is a lonely widower in Miami Beach who decides he needs to make friends and get more attention from the ladies. An acquaintance advises him that he can solve his problem by getting a camel and riding it up and down the street. Lefkowitz looks in the paper, sees that a circus is in town, and rents a camel. He rides up and down the street on the camel, attracting an enormous crowds of gawkers.

The next day, however, he discovers that the rented camel has been stolen and calls the police. They ask him to describe the camel-- its color, height, and sex.

"What do I know about the sex of a camel?!" cries Lefkowitz. "Wait! Aha! It was a male!"

"How do you know?"

"I'm positive officer, because I just remembered. Because when I was riding up and down the street, I kept hearing people yelling, 'Hey, look at the schmuck on that camel!'"
3:13 pm
uusue2

And now I have put the joke in my profile, so I don't have to keep retyping it :-)
3:14 pm
Nef

cute! I guess it's easier to understand Yiddish humor if you've heard it before or were raised with it. I wasn't. In the smack dab middle of the continent (give or take 300 miles) there were very few Jews around as I was growing up. Ask me about Ole and Lena, however, and I could tell you a lot about that humor.

true, nef, AND since she had progressive dementia, her death was not sudden, so over the last couple of years I've dug up some of her bulbs and planted them in my yard (and shared them with her caregivers and friends)

Uneaixoise

indeed, sue LOL
3:44 pm

Kap, in my family it seems that almost everyone died between Thanksgiving and mid-January. For some people, that might make the Holidays depressing; but I see it as these were the people who made me the way I am and each year their memory is fresh again
3:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne

We need to move these vowels.

It's just a grid full of odd words. I thought gl4/6 was something you add to the end of a word. Not a word in itself. Who knew?
3:46 pm

that was the muscle that they first thought I'd pulled last August. Treated it for that til December; the X-ray and MRI showed it's the hip.

I think it's my hip but I feel the miscle ...I am probably riddled with arthritis, but have not had the scans to confirm it. A motrin a day makes the pain go away...

I need a hip replacement. I'm allergic to the non-steroidals (Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc) and also metal; so I got a cortisone injection and am doing much better. Will get by on cortisone injections every 3-4 months for now

Ah. I have to avoid steroids but am fine with metal (both knees so far).
3:52 pm

I do, kap. The thing that got me was when my thumb joints started hurting. Knees, hips, ok, but THUMBS??? Who ordered that???
3:54 pm

they won't do it. Kap; I was diagnosed with arthritis when I was 18; the deformities stated about 2 years ago
3:55 pm

Hey, as long as the senior center has wi-fi..
3:55 pm

Yeah, my right thumb sometimes hurts. But today is my ps5. I strained it extra at the gym.
3:55 pm

3:55 pm

Oh, that's tough then, Nef - so you've been living with this for a long time.

I have probably had arthritis for a long time-both my parents had it much younger, but denial has worked well till recently.
3:56 pm

hi all. easy grid or tough?
3:56 pm
uusue2

Ah, yes. Denial is very useful :-)
3:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I reaIlly should have an MRI- but what would it tell me? That I have arthritis?
3:57 pm
Nef

I've been lucky so far. The metal allergy is what caused me to have a 3rd surgery for my foot several years ago. Surgical staples weren't a good idea
3:58 pm
uusue2

Well. There are other things; I had osteonecrosis in my knees (the bone died around the joints) and replacement was my only option. (Had some arthritis too but the collapsed bone trumped it).
3:58 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Aging sucks- even witht all this wonderful wisdom I've acquired!
3:58 pm
Nef

that's about it, Kap; and that there is or isn't soft tissue injury too

5:23 pm

@molly, it breaks many of the dieting rules, I'm doing the injections (did my research), during 6 week period you are on 500 calories a day..
5:23 pm
Soodlebum

Well done to all you losers (of weight). Its so flipping easy to put it on - different story trying to lose it.
5:23 pm
jesdraggon

took me a lot of monkeying to find it, G
5:24 pm
Soodlebum

Crikey Jilly - 500 calories a day is seriously little food....
5:24 pm
Angela

i started the Atkins diet and started running the same day - now have done 2 5ks and 1 6k...never ever thought I would be running, that's for sure!
5:24 pm
MollyL

Jill, the only thing I have heard about it is that the HCG stuff probably isn't necessary since you are on such a severely low calorie diet. Anyone would lose weight on 500 calories a day.
5:24 pm
jesdraggon

it's not cheating if it's something you're really deficient in. i lost 10 pounds just from starting progesterone supplements... makes dieting a LOT more successful when you don't have a medical issue forcing the weight gain.
5:25 pm
MollyL

Good for you Angela!!
5:25 pm
Soodlebum

Sorry, but what is HCG?
5:25 pm
Angela

and seriously...if I can do it... I never thought I would run unless someone was behind me with a weapon ;)
5:25 pm
MollyL

It's a hormone produced in pregnancy Soodle. It's supposed to speed up metabolism.
5:26 pm
Jillyjill

Actually Soodle, it's been just fine. 100 oz fish/chicken/beef, 2 cups vegies, and a fruit. It's the hormone we have when pregnant. The theory is that it pulls the fat from areas you want to lose, so really your body is using 1500 calories from that, you really aren't hungry
5:27 pm
Soodlebum

Wow. Whenever I was pregnant, all I ever did was get fatter :-(
5:27 pm

This is the first time I've lost inches from my damned upper arms....3 inches so far!

I already watched "Ro4/5 to Gold: An Academy Award Preview" today.I'll be gl 4/7d to the TV all day Sunday I'll start watching the pre-shows in the mo4/5ing. In li 4/5 of watching my GH so5/12 on So4/5Net Sunday night,I'll be watching the awards. I hope that Natalie Portman wins. She has really gr4/10n as an actor. I'll gr5/22 if The Social Network wins an award.They say it's a true story, but a lot of it is not true.It was not worth the $9.95 I pa 4/6 to see it. I like to watch as the camera ro4/5s the red carpet before the show.I wonder if anybody will sl 4/5 this year as they go get their award. Finally, I look forward to watching Anne Hathaway and James Franco. I think they will make a great pa 4/5 as Oscar hosts.I don't think they will do a po 4/5 job at all. And that James Franco, I could sw 5/18 over him any day!He's so HOT! I hope nobody sp 5/12 the show with a bad speech. Da 4/6! My hubby wants laptop!It never fa5/16,my hubby wants laptop just as I'm getting comfortable for all night cluing.He gr 6/36 if I don't give computer to him. I wish I could po 6/21 all of his farm animals.I am going to go watch a film no 4/4. I hope this story gets you fireworks so 4/4. Ad 5/12!

There's a word I run into a lot in online word games that's in this puzzle but this site doesn't accept.
7:51 pm

(dawg, that's neil, rather than nell!)
7:52 pm
featherbee

babble uses the enable dictionary
7:52 pm

which means some words you'd think were proper nouns are accepted, and other words you think SHOULD be accepted are not

ooh. ive only had a few migraines, but they really are horrible. everything hurts, and you cant get comfortable enough to sleep.
8:34 pm
crosshair

i get her in the bedroom with dim lighting and she can use the e-reader to read quiety or i put a cold cloth on her head and she can nap in peace and quiet
8:34 pm
EvaNadine

i can only recommend Excedrin migraine medicine and there are also strips you can put on the forehead that tingle kinda like ben-gay. they sorta distract a bit...
8:36 pm
crosshair

i am told many women 'age" out of migraines when they get 50+ but we will have to see
8:37 pm

it's Mother... we were resizing her icon
8:37 pm

With the help of Stidmama perhaps this works. Small problem compared to others.
8:37 pm
uusue2

somehow that sounds very funny, stid...
8:38 pm
stidmama

sometimes I do, peach, but the migraines for me are caused by using my eyes... and even sunglasses don't help that! LOL
8:38 pm
uusue2

and stidg, looks good!!
8:39 pm

see,i think many of my wifes migraines are caused by her poor vision and her chronic eye disease

Hello Trifioso! How are you? Welcome to the chat log.
8:40 pm

I didn't realize she had eye problems, cross. My love to you both. My own eyes are not likely to get worse at this point, just not likely to get better.
8:40 pm

hey trifioso!

min! how nice to see you! it's been a long while. and hello stid, and family....

oh my, there is a CDC measles alert... an airplane passenger was on three different planes and three different airports this week.
8:41 pm
crosshair

with artificial lenses and cataracts removed,and twice yearly laser treatments we are holding her vision at 20/400 and we thank god for that much
8:42 pm
Trifioso

what does that mean, crossy, 20/400. one eye is worse than the other, yes?
8:42 pm
crosshair

measles? well most of us have been immunized for that i hope,ir had it once as children
8:42 pm
stidmama

well, that is at least something. that means she is VERY near-sighted in both eyes, trifioso
8:42 pm
crosshair

20/400 is the top letter on the eye chart only
8:43 pm
crosshair

but with the marvel of e-readers she can read and i have s special set up on her computer ..we are fortunate
8:43 pm
stidmama

My tom is worse than that without his glasses. He's pretty much a lights and color and fuzzy shapes vision when uncorrected.
8:44 pm
stidmama

With his glasses, he is pretty close to 20/20
8:44 pm
Minveryork

FYI: I got a story of clues about the Oscars in profile
8:45 pm
crosshair

glasses do not help my beloved,she gets growths on the back side of the lens that flatten it over time,hence the laser to keep it at a 20/400 level
8:46 pm
stidmama

that's rough. Progressive things suck.

8:51 pm

it's funny, sometimes I can still remember what words mean, but feel very inadequate actually trying to speak Spanish any more. My plan is to start reviewing some while I commute for the next student teaching. Which starts in three weeks!!! *bounce bounce* SO excited to do that again.
8:51 pm

8:51 pm

You have a talented brood Trif. Wicked pissa and wicked smaht as well.

thanks molly! LOL I watched "The Fighter" last night, and was DIGGING the accents
8:53 pm
stidmama

yep. and elementary this time. I just don't know where, with whom, or exactly what grade level... so I can't be obsessing about planning lessons (a mixed blessing with my eyes -- a little ability to look ahead now would help later)
8:54 pm
crosshair

no more costa rican coffee,my brother has been moved to las vegas by his work;(
8:54 pm
stidmama

bummer, cross -- but at least he is employed!
8:55 pm

molly, hang on one sec....need an honest opinion
8:55 pm

Trif, I have a friend who says that every time he watches "The Depahted" his Boston resurrects. : D
8:56 pm
stidmama

Molly -- did the rest of the trees stay upright?
8:56 pm
Trifioso

okay, molly, please check my icon now. Secondo can't decide which photo to enter in an upcoming show. what do you think of this one?
8:56 pm

8:56 pm
MollyL

Most of them Stid. I am a tree lover and it hurts my heart to see them fall over like that.
8:57 pm
stidmama

I hear that. We have some wind coming through and it reminded me to ask... I don't think it will be enough to knock anything over though -- it's frozen ground now, not soggy.
9:01 pm
uusue2

OK, all, I am going to bed. See you tomorrow!
9:01 pm
Trifioso

ugh. I have 17 left, and haven't entered a word in about 20 minutes. I think maybe I am done

stidmama

see you (and Murphy) tomorrow Mother -- we'll post a pic of him then!
9:02 pm
MollyL

Wow...can she enter them both? I think I'm partial to the first one. There is something about all that expression of hers just coming out of one eye.
9:02 pm
Trifioso

molly, are you still here?
9:02 pm
Jillyjill

niters sue!
9:02 pm
Trifioso

ah, there you are! thanks. I am not sure how many she can enter in total, but there is a limit of only one per category, and these would come under portraits
9:03 pm
MollyL

She obviously has a good feel for her own work. I have a feeling she will "know" which one to enter. Amazing stuff Trif. Thanks for sharing it.
9:04 pm
Trifioso

thanks for looking, molly!
9:04 pm
MollyL

It is a HUGE smile for me to see the work of talented young ones.
9:04 pm

9:05 pm
Trifioso

I am partial to the photo she took of Indy (it's on my flicr page, under my profile). Hopefully that one she can enter in a pet category or something, and not under portrait!
9:06 pm
MollyL

The puppy one with the blue in his eyes showing?
9:07 pm
MollyL

Or the one where his eyes look brown?
9:08 pm
Trifioso

the one where his eyes look brown.
9:08 pm
Trifioso

it's the first one on the flickr site
9:09 pm
Trifioso

she is so good at capturing eyes, expressions, etc
9:10 pm
MollyL

They are both good. And again, she is very good at capturing the spirit of her subject. Yeah, what you just said.
9:10 pm

9:31 pm
Jillyjill

9:31 pm
Manatee-$5

okey-doke. I don't think I will get one, though. I mean, you get to play anyway without one
9:31 pm
Jillyjill

But without some of the helps
9:31 pm
Manatee-$5

9:32 pm
lbdawger

9:34 pm
Minveryork

9:34 pm
Jillyjill

hmmmm, not getting clue....
9:35 pm
Minveryork

wo 4/10 rhymes with ants on a *** plus a snake letter.
9:36 pm
Jillyjill

is it in your story?
9:36 pm
Minveryork

a polly*** is a kind of tadpole if that U helps out Jillyjill
9:36 pm
Minveryork

No, I did not use that word in my story today Jillyjill.
9:37 pm
Jillyjill

*slap* *SLAP*
9:37 pm
Jillyjill

embarassing
9:37 pm
Jillyjill

9:39 pm
Manatee-$5

minveryork, since you seem to be very good at giving hints, can you give me one for one of the 7-letter ones
9:40 pm
Jillyjill

plural the mi6/24
9:40 pm
Jillyjill

there's only one 7
9:40 pm
Manatee-$5

9:41 pm
Manatee-$5

sorry, I'm very new to this
9:41 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations Jillyjill on fireworks! Hooray for you!
9:41 pm
Magyk

9:41 pm
lbdawger

whooooo hooooooo JILLY!!
9:41 pm
Minveryork

mi 7/36: plural of a mi**** collision between two planes
9:41 pm
Jillyjill

take the mi6/24 and add a consonant to make it plural...we call it a snake letter
9:42 pm
lbdawger

and welcome manatee to babble!
9:42 pm
Minveryork

Manatee-$5, did you read my story of clues in profile?
9:42 pm
Manatee-$5

thanks, lbdawger. Wait, what does "mi 7/36" mean
9:42 pm
Jillyjill

manatee, I played for about a year without paying, but never could finish a grid...so I paid, makes things much nicer
9:43 pm
Jillyjill

mi is first two letters, then the number of letters/point value
9:43 pm
Manatee-$5

ah. Still, though, I just don't think that the $15 is worth it.
9:43 pm
Manatee-$5

Oh, thanks. I'll remember that.
9:44 pm
crosshair

i played for exactly 3 days ,then paid the 11 dollar to go pro lol
9:44 pm
Jillyjill

well, crossy, I am much denser than you...;)
9:44 pm
Minveryork

Oh it is SO worth it! It's 15.00 for a lifetime of Babble with extra perks like the fireworks and the tile stats.
9:45 pm
crosshair

lol jilly,i am as thick as a brick
9:45 pm
lbdawger

you may change your mind, especially if you get addicted to it like the rest of us.
9:45 pm
Jillyjill

The price of one cheap dinner out and you can babble for the rest of your life!!
9:45 pm
Minveryork

Waited a year before I went pro,but finally made the plunge. Howevever,I'm still not a pro babbler, not yet
9:45 pm
crosshair

i am totally lost when babble is down for the day
9:46 pm
Jillyjill

You are too humble minv...
9:46 pm
Jillyjill

I miss everyone if I can't play
9:47 pm
Minveryork

I'll never work my way up to the talents of stidmama, Jacula, Gremlinn, Jillibus, & many other babblers here
9:48 pm
Minveryork

Everytime internet goes out or my power,I think "No Babble!" & then immediately go into withdrawal mode.
9:48 pm
Bugsaw

It gets harder after the first couple of weeks Manatee. I needed the Tile and Word stats to help me know how well I was doing and they disappear.
9:48 pm
Jillyjill

You have a point there minv...I could NEVER do a grid without a list (if lickety is down).
9:49 pm
Manatee-$5

they disappear?
9:49 pm
Jillyjill

yep when the trial is over
9:49 pm
Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
9:49 pm
Jillyjill

HI there bugs!
9:49 pm
Magyk

evening all
9:49 pm
Minveryork

They all disappear after your trial is over Manatee-$5
9:49 pm
Bugsaw

yup. Hi Minveryork. I think you are being too hard on yourself here
9:50 pm
Minveryork

Hello Magyk! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
9:50 pm

9:50 pm
Bugsaw

I was lurking looking for my last 13 but I wanted to encourage Manatee to consider joining the group.
9:50 pm
Magyk

((jillyjill))
9:50 pm
Jillyjill

That reminds me minv, it is always wonderful to enter the grid when ur on to welcome me!
9:50 pm
Magyk

how is everyone tonight?
9:50 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

Manatee, you have stumbled upon a great group of people here....take my word for it....however if you would rather not pay the small amount to get the goodies, then perhaps you may want to look elswhere.
9:51 pm
Magyk

I agree Jilly!!
9:51 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

And perhaps I should learn to spell. lol
9:51 pm
Minveryork

Thanks Jillyjill.I think that is the only thing I am good at here; wlecoming people.It makes up for my lack of babble skills. I like to think I am improving day by day
9:52 pm
Jillyjill

remember, spelling is optional in chat... ;)
9:52 pm
Pinikula

(back...is it time for flip yet?)
9:52 pm
Jillyjill

Don't forget your stories minv
9:52 pm
Minveryork

At first I thought, why pay if I can play for free? But it really is not the same as babbling with a pro status.
9:53 pm
Jillyjill

rofl....wishful thinking pini..i will be in bed @ flip
9:53 pm
Manatee-$5

ah, I'll remember that "gapeach1066". I didn't realize that the Babble group is actually close. I thought it was similair to something like YouTube chatting where you never know.
9:53 pm
Magyk

Oh Min, you're wonderful! I look forward to talking with you every time I babble!
9:53 pm
Manatee-$5

Do you guys know Mark Jones?

9:54 pm
Manatee-$5

9:55 pm
Bugsaw

see? Mark is so addicted he got you to join! Resistance is futile!
9:56 pm
Minveryork

Thank you for the compliment Magyk. Wish I saw you here more often though.Babble time has been limited since we're down to 1 computer that I have to share.

9:58 pm
Jillyjill

I didn't order any last year and was so jealous when I saw people around me getting them.I wish they were available all year round. Did you know they have Girl Scout cookies ice cream? Think they have samoas ice cream flavor. Definitely have to try that out as well.
10:09 pm

Sadly, I just can't seem to part with the amount of money a box costs and then eat in 30 seconds! :/

I hate double negatives, I really do!
They’re wrong to say for me and you.
A double negative is not good English.
They should go away, I really do wish.
Every time I hear one, I want to scream.
It isn’t proper grammar, do you know what I mean?
So please people, don’t use them anymore.
Kick those double negatives out the door!

It irks me to grade papers where students have written u instead of you and 2 instead of to. "My mom lets me do it" is almost always the excuse!
10:47 pm
Magyk

Oh, I've killed the chog. Well, I should go. Need a cuppa tea and a warm blanket. G'night babblers!

My husband has the WORST grammar!I am correcting him all of the time! He does not know how to use the past perfect tense versus the perfect tense Magyk.
10:48 pm
Magyk

You and I are very much alike Min. :)
10:49 pm
Minveryork

Actually,hubby doesn't get any of the perfect tenses.

Magyk

Fortunately, Patrick has wonderful grammar and no so bad spelling. Although he seems to double check with me.
10:51 pm
Minveryork

He also says me and John went to the store not John and I. Sad thing is,I work with teachers who also talk the same way. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
10:52 pm
Magyk

I agree. It's hard to say anything without coming off as rude, too.
10:56 pm
Minveryork

I can say anything to my husband. I have no problem being rude to him.
