Thanks, sprite! Now I can get the things I want -- ^, ?, etc. How did you know?

2:47 am
westford
Branagh and his then wife Emma Thomson were so good in Henry V
2:48 am
rubyfoo
Bill Nighy is amazing but I never saw him in anything when he was young, he se**s to have sprung up "full-grown"
2:48 am

and she makes a small appearance in this film too, I'm not even sure it was credited
2:49 am

rubyfoo
it is one of the few series my husband likes although I find it very dark. I loved the books, however, and I think Branagh is brilliant
2:53 am
rubyfoo
I never know what films/series husband will like. I'm a movie geek and will watch almost anything that doesn't have gangs and too much violence (although, I must admit that I liked The History of Violence with Viggo Mortensen)

3:10 am
westford
I wish it wasn't so
3:10 am
rubyfoo
that's what my son's wife said, the reason we couldn't play US DVD's on our TV
3:10 am
sprite
NTCS. It is a region code.
3:10 am
Glantarell
my computer will play US DVDs but only once and then mu computer wants me to change my region
3:10 am
westford
too bad there isn't a converter
3:11 am

3:12 am
westford

3:28 am
Glantarell
Crumpets - they are stange things made by cooking a thick batter in rings in a heavy based pan - very deep holes to hold the butter
3:28 am
Glantarell
they are a love/hate thing - can't be neutral about them
3:29 am
Glantarell
sort of slightly rubbery
3:29 am
westford
we have scones not crumpets
3:29 am
westford
I think I would love crumpets
3:29 am

I can imagine, west. War in all its brutality and cruelty is pure horror. For me, it can never be amusement, and I don't need to be educated about it any more... I will promote peace.
3:51 am
westford
you'd think we would learn from our mistakes
3:52 am
westford
I don't even like the news anymore
3:53 am
sprite
yes, you'd think so :(
Se5 fighting and war are part of humanity. Children fight in play grounds. Grownups fight at home and at work. And countries fight wars.
3:53 am
westford
it's all about real estate
3:54 am
sprite
or about diverting attention from problems in the home country... power play...
3:54 am
westford
you said it
3:55 am
sprite
I cannot watch the news. I cannot become numb to the suffering, like many do. And I don't want to add more negativity to it either. So I try to solve things at home without fights... and send my prayers for those who suffer.
3:55 am
westford
has the movie downloaded yet sprite?
3:56 am

3:56 am

you bet..I can always use them
3:58 am

same here. Hugs are undervaluated! :) Though not on babble. Nor with my love.
3:59 am

I have 2 minutes to get up to bed..don't want to repeat yesterday..when I finally got to sleep I slept the day away
3:59 am

Good morning all.

morning Sally
4:38 am
Sally-catlover
Ooh, a big grid. Not sure I will have time to do this one.
4:39 am
sprite
oh that would be a shame, Sally, it is a good one!
4:39 am
Sally-catlover
However, you'll be pleased to know that I have started with 4 K words, Sprite :-)
4:39 am
sprite
woweeeee Sally!
4:40 am
Sally-catlover
I know how you love them so much.
4:40 am
sprite
I have to admit, today they were not hard.
4:42 am
dizgrannie
just try an s or gerund ending on all small words....LOL just found heaps of words ...
4:43 am
sprite
rewarding, isn't it Diz :)
4:43 am
sprite
sally, postcrossing is really going well. Even received another postcard. I like it so far :)
4:43 am
dizgrannie
LOL yep, Sprite
4:43 am
Sally-catlover
Oh great sprite, I'm so glad you like it.
4:44 am
sprite
I sure do. Thanks for the pointer :D
4:48 am
Sally-catlover
How many cards have you had so far?
4:48 am
sprite
two so far. One from Holland, one from the US
4:49 am
sprite
oh no, sorry, only one. From the US. The dutch one I sent myself.
4:49 am
Sally-catlover
I think it gets quicker the longer you are a member. The person who put me on to them sometimes gets 5 in a day!
4:50 am
Sally-catlover
lol, you aren't supposed to send them to yourself :-)
4:50 am
sprite
sounds like so much fun :D
Lol no, I sent it to another dutch gal.
4:50 am
Sally-catlover
:-) I knew that really.
4:51 am
sprite
I have just asked for a new addy, just picked out the card. It is lovely. I went crazy and ordered a lot of postcards. I don't even need to leave home to buy a card. Just to post them ;)
4:52 am
sprite
one person was so happy with his card, he will sent me one back, outside the system.
4:52 am
Sally-catlover
I have a little tin someone gave me where I keep a selection of cards and a few stamps. Here we have two levels of postage: Europe and not Europe, so I only need two values of stamp.
4:52 am
sprite
fireflies! Very ni4 grid today. Not bad for a biggie.
4:53 am
Sally-catlover
How nice someone will send one back. And congrats on the fireflies.
4:53 am
sprite
oh that is convenient. We have 3: national, europe and world.
4:54 am
Sally-catlover
Oh, sorry to mislead you. Of course we have a lower postage for UK, but I am not sending to UK.
4:54 am
Sally-catlover
But at one time it was different for each non-Europe country.
4:56 am
sprite
yes indeed. I sometimes have to check whether a country is considered Europe or World. It is not fully consistent.
You know what I like best? Picking out the best card for someone. Like now, someone likes cards of the ocean and card of children... I have a card of children playing on the beach.
4:57 am
Sally-catlover
Yes, I like that too. I had one person who wanted pictures of cheese (!) and I went to a local cheese shop in Ludlow and they had just such a card, all about cheese making.
4:57 am
sprite
oh perfect!
4:57 am
Sally-catlover
Each to his own :-)
4:58 am
sprite
hmz this lady says cards will reach her sooner and better if I write the address in russian. Lol!
4:59 am
Sally-catlover
Oh you can print the address right from the site, sprite, and I have done that with a Chinese one and stuck it on the card. In fact if you copy and paste you can put it right onto a sticky address lavel. Russian cards seem to take a long time.
5:01 am
sprite
oh I am crazy enough to try :)
5:01 am
Sally-catlover
With the Chinese one, I printed both addresses and stuck them on the card.
5:02 am
Sally-catlover
I mean both the Chinese characters and the Roman ones.
5:02 am
Sally-catlover
(I assumed it was the address and I hadn't ordered a take-away!)
5:10 am
sprite
I think she should have supplied her addy in russian... in cyrillic anyway. It is pretty hard to guess what it should be.
5:11 am
Sally-catlover
Oh you mean she hadn't? That would be impossible.
5:11 am
Sally-catlover
As I said I was able to just copy and paste.
5:12 am
sprite
I wish. A bit silly, actually, to want it and not provide it.
5:13 am
Sally-catlover
Crazy. I haven't come across one of those. I had one where they actually asked for an envelope to ensure the card arrived - I think that was South America.
5:14 am
sprite
ah that I can understand. Well, found a site with a converter and now that site does not work... I think I will use the addy she gave... in roman :D
5:15 am
Sally-catlover
Do you have a Russian character set on your PC? You could always type it in that, but put it in the roman as well.
5:16 am
sprite
yeah I think I have. Well, we'll see if this will reach Belarus or not :D
5:28 am
sprite
ok done, I am off for today. *hugs for Sally*
Bye all, have a good day/night.
5:30 am
Sally-catlover
Bye sprite, only half way here.
5:37 am

top tips anyone?
6:04 am
kje
keep at it, beth! it gets easier with time
6:05 am
kje
always look for -er, -ing, -est, -iest, -ies, and plural endings
6:05 am
Beth1
I hope so. Its a lovely principle, just poor in practice so far..
6:05 am
kje
and past tense too, but not i this one so much
6:05 am
Beth1
oh, cool, will do thank you
6:05 am
kje
do you know about the clues
6:07 am
kje
when you get stuck and can't go further, there is a link under the grid called lickety's babble clues... gives first 2 letters, umber of letters, and poit value - ex: st8/45
6:08 am
Beth1
ooh, ok. Will wait til I'm completely out of ideas. Thanks for that.
6:08 am
Beth1
iest and est are proving useful already!
6:09 am
kje
if it hasn't been updated on a give day, just ask in the log if anyone else has posted a list and someone will direct you
6:10 am

down to 64 and must get up and ready for the day.

10:49 am
vanillaslice
not an expert but the add doc will prescribe control sugar, salt, generally et what is healthy
10:49 am
lbdawger
caffine, sugars, carbs, b complex, can add to add adhd symptoms.
10:49 am
wvteach
with my son it was the red food colorings
10:50 am
bichon
Sugar was a theory here in the States, but I don't know if currently it is so
10:50 am
vanillaslice
they can test them for all kinds of allergies
10:51 am
vanillaslice
but we found the most important to be the medication, it is not aaddictive but effective
10:52 am
vanillaslice
we have a friend in his thirties, still on medication
10:52 am

I take Ritalin and i'm 65. It really help my focus and concentration

sorry telephone call - aspergers - not as far as i know and here lots of adults or ritalin - i think a lot fell through the cracks as kids
10:57 am
movieman
I was diagnosed with Asperger's at the age of 21, and it felt like a great weight had been lifted as far as my social and jobseeking problems were concerned
10:57 am
vanillaslice
sometimes if its mild aspergers they don't pick it up
10:58 am
bichon
there are several Asperger children in my granddaughter's pre-school
10:58 am
Kaplan the Magne
sk7/52 is a bogus plural.
10:58 am
vanillaslice
happens more often movieman good that its helping you now
10:59 am
movieman
I was unlucky in that Asperger's wasn't picked up as easily as it is today
11:00 am
movieman
Plus I was diagnosed by Simon Baron-Cohen, who happens to be Sacha's cousin
11:00 am
bichon
How can Aspergers be treated, if at all
11:03 am
crosshair
reading back ursh,my son has adhd and odd and he is 18 now and it has been a wild ride!
11:04 am
vanillaslice
was he diagnosed early crossy
11:05 am
crosshair
we went the whole route trying to get meds that would help him and not the school system
11:05 am
ursh
yup crossy - daughter is a single mom and sometimes the ride is certainly wild - but she does OK and is quite patient
11:05 am
crosshair
he was diagnosed at 4
11:05 am
Kaplan the Magne
It's a continuum disorder- as are most disorders.
11:06 am
vanillaslice
add is harder to detect
11:06 am
lbdawger
depends on the severity of the aspergers as to how to assist the person in life skills.
11:07 am
crosshair
ritalin is the worst for these children,we got him off of that as fast as possible and tried dexidrine,and now he is using adderal..problem with ritalin is it is all released at once and not time released and is hard on the appetite and the kidneys
11:07 am
lbdawger
add is very hard to diagnose. could be nature or nurture, could be 100 other things causing the distraction. anxiety, of any degree can set off the symptoms but not necessarily be the cause
11:08 am
bichon
Ritalin now can be prescribed as slow release. But it is not generic, therefore, a lot more costly
11:08 am
Kaplan the Magne
spectrum...continuum- depends where the clinician wants to draw the line. Baron-Cohen has an interesting scale to measure tendencies to what we now label as autistic. I came up a 7 out of a possible 29- my brother came up a 22. He doesn't officially have aspergers... See if you can find his scale by googling.
11:08 am
crosshair
can it? was not slow release back when he was first diagnose..nasty stuff
11:09 am
crosshair
lol the 30 tabs of adderal is 120 dollars
11:09 am
bichon
I haven't had a problem with it. I only take it in the morning and early afternoon. I can read during those hours
11:10 am
crosshair
but he is healthy now and growing like a week and can focus on tasks(but one at a time of course)
11:11 am
crosshair
some fine motor skill issues but he seems to be a savant in mechanics of all things
11:11 am
crosshair
the school put him in advanced classes for it this year
11:11 am
bichon
I'm glad it has worked out crossy.
11:11 am
crosshair
was a long grind,but he is finding his path in life
11:12 am
bichon
Lots of kids come to college with Adderal and share with their friends
11:13 am
vanillaslice
that started to happen at our school and from there the nurse gets all medication
11:14 am
bichon
Adderal is considered quite helpful at exam time
11:15 am
crosshair
we dispense his meds,he will not sell them on my watch
11:15 am
crosshair
anyways,store run,brb..poink!

I've made winter squash soup before. It's delicious. I'm jealous. I'm having yoghurt and some bread for lunch.
11:23 am
lbdawger
i already have the squash cooked so it's just puree-ing it and adding some stock. what do you put in yours ru?
11:23 am
bichon
I'll have to get some squash at the store
11:24 am
lbdawger
i need to keep the soup low fat for hubz diet, but also need something warm and comforting for a rainy day.
11:32 am
EvaNadine
lbd, i have a recipe somewhere for some. it is very simple, quite healthy, and totally tasty!
11:34 am
lbdawger
just looked up a few recipes, they look easy and i'm off to try my hand at one. bbl with the review.
11:34 am
EvaNadine
hrm. cant seem to find the recipe, but basically, chop up a bunch of butternut squash, carrots, onions, and apples. throw it in a pot with enough stock and water to cover the veggies (but no more than that).
boil for about 10-20 minutes (however long it takes for veggies to get tender) and then blend it all up.
11:35 am
EvaNadine
since your squash is already cooked, maybe leave it out and add it in when everything else is cooked up
11:35 am
vanillaslice
wow finally fireworks

I'm clipping claws today. I have three out of four feet done.
8:03 pm
herinfernallady
If we are to clip their claws I pay the vet $10 a cat. I like my hands
8:04 pm
Shirlockc
i wait until mine is half asleep and relaxed then get the claws
8:04 pm
herinfernallady
Lucius is too strong and Pandora I can do but it is easier for the vet.
8:05 pm
mab
this is their first clipping. went pretty well. with previous cats I would practically sit on them. This time I was very gentle.
8:05 pm
herinfernallady
I prefer to remain scratch free
8:05 pm
jmcnrick
my cat can keep her claws
8:05 pm
Eva
same here herin. only way we can control Merp is to hurt him and the whole thing becomes traumatic and bloody for all of us. At the vets he goes limp and it take 2 minutes. Go figure
8:06 pm
Eva
he is velcro cat right now
8:06 pm
herinfernallady
Clipping them doesn't hurt them. And they are inside cats. Eva how is merp
8:06 pm
Eva
very well but ornery. Nothing new. Try explaining to Merp that it doesn't hurt him!
8:07 pm
wildcat17
eva!!!!
8:07 pm

hi eva, wild, wht, mab, et.al
8:10 pm
Eva
of course you do. you need another one to round out your menagerie
8:11 pm
Eva
I do sometimes wish I had little Merplets, but could never justify bringing more kittens into the world when there are so many who need adoption
8:12 pm
crosshair
a tip for those who clip kittys claws at home..you know those big black metal clips you buy at office store that are used to hold 20 or more pages together?..you clip that to the cats scruff and they go lip with the momma carrying reflex and you can cut claws at your leisure
8:12 pm
herinfernallady
awwwww. Kittens are so cute but I am a sucker for the larger non baby kitty
8:12 pm
jmcnrick
i feel the same way about my cat--she is so wonderful i want to share her--but i had her fixed a long time ago and that was the right thing to do
8:13 pm
Eva
I can't believe that would work with Merp cross, but the image is funny enough that I just have to try it
8:13 pm
Shirlockc
i saw that on youtube, crossy, haven't tried it on mine yet
8:13 pm
Eva
want to come across the border and give it a try crossy?
8:13 pm
crosshair
both our cats submit to claw trims without it
8:14 pm
Eva
my last cat did, but Merp has always been rather paranoid and hypervigilant
8:14 pm
herinfernallady
Cross I couldn't do that

Hello, just trying to find words while our dinner simmers. Sorry carlee is not up to tossing pompoms (not that I need them with a big 83 words.)
8:19 pm

not likely to be the fu. Flu usually doesn't have much in the way of nasal stuff-more dry cough and fever
8:19 pm
Scrabbler
Why, Herin? Because of myxo?

Are those zinc tabs? I use those and Echinacea. You'll be better in a few days, sooner if you are lucky. Everyone up north here should take 5000 IU/day of vitamin D3!! Immune booster!
8:21 pm
crosshair
ahh the kind where you would not be suprised to fine that your eyelashes are bleeding as well
8:21 pm
stidgmere
Very wise adaptation, carlee. We are looking out of our window on the world and seeing very menacing clouds and the wind is rising. Good time for some of that cider you seem to be needing.
8:21 pm
herinfernallady
Yes Scrabbler because our domestic rabbits have an immunity

wht
It is a unit of measure. The Mass Ave bridge between Cambridge and Boston is marked in smoots.
8:53 pm
mab
well that's a good one. must work into conversations.
8:54 pm
wht
Many years ago, some members of a fraternity at MIT were drinking and they took one of their members, a certain Fred Smoot, if I remember the first name correctly, and they picked him up and used him as a measuing rod to measure the bridge.
8:55 pm
wht
I think the bridge is something like 360 smoots and an ear.
8:55 pm
mab
ha ha - I love that!
8:56 pm
wht
Every year the fraternity goes out and repaint the lines on the bridge at every 10 smoots.
