12:04 am

12:04 am

I know Firefox has various add-ons, one of which is a handy ad-blocker.
12:04 am

That works in chrome, Seain? How do you get it?

i went to their website and downloaded it, because it was not available through chrome store
12:05 am
grannyrose
neil, on firefox, is that right? *shrug* i only know how to turn this wretched thing on, and everything else is monkey see, monkey do. LOL
12:06 am
dcseain
AdBlock Plus shows up as a red or green octagonal icon to right of address bar. Red if blocking on a site, green if not.
12:06 am
hootowl
And yahoos improvement involved making the ads half page instead of 1/4 pagr. I'm flipping!
12:08 am

Yes, if you select more than one.

12:09 am

Well I know Firefox has an ad-blocker, grannyrose... and apparently there's one for Chrome too, I'm glad to know. Thanks, Seain!

I got it done at the Indian Reservation Clinic where I work on Mondays.
9:20 am

ours are available now, but the doc told me that it wouldn't have helped with this stupid cold/virus ... as soon as i'm well, i'll have the shot (i do every year)
9:20 am
welki
(how he knows, i haven't a clue)
9:21 am
Scrabbler
The reality is that the seasonal flu vaccine protects us against just 3 strains of the flu virus. Compare that to hundreds of respiratory viruses that are not flu.
9:21 am
crosshair
i get my shot yearly now,i once spent half a winter try to breathe through a straw(thats what it felt like) never again for this fella
9:22 am

Well, it doesn't matter which virus because there is no specific treatment anyway. Just "supportive care"--time, rest, hydration and pain relievers.

lbuxx
? I don't understand how unused computing bandwiths can fold human proteins?
9:48 am
Riverdance
I dont either but it is good then I will do it
9:49 am
crosshair
all the unused cycles are gathered by this program and used by the computers at stanford univerity
9:49 am
welki
proteins have specific structure .. the program takes all the possible combinations or those structures and manipullates/maneuvers them
9:49 am
crosshair
this gives them the speed to run the floding program
9:49 am
crosshair
they can analyze much faster this way

what I hear you saying is you feel frustrated. Do I hear what you are saying correctly or do I not hear what you were saying or not saying? Would you repeat back to me what you think you heard me say so that we can reality test?
12:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I hear myself saying that I hear you feeling frustrated and feeling sad that you can't smash people's face in.
12:38 pm

Which is perhaps what I'm hearing because of my own issues, which I need to own, rather than projecte them onto you.

Kaplan the Magne

12:51 pm
hootowl

12:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne

12:52 pm
saphyre

12:55 pm
saphyre

12:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne
They are not the masters of their domains?
12:56 pm
hootowl

12:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Sorry.

"licketys Babble Clues"
12:58 pm
hootowl
Why do I think that is a scam?
12:58 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What is a scam?
12:58 pm
saphyre
a scam? It is googles default page when a domain name expires (not paid for)
12:59 pm
hootowl
a fake to get someone to pay for something that doesn't exiist
12:59 pm
saphyre
you must renew a domain name every year
12:59 pm
saphyre
no hootowl not a scam at all
12:59 pm
saphyre
I am a web designer
12:59 pm
hootowl
Wouldn't know, I'll take your word for it
1:00 pm
saphyre
sorry i meant godaddy not google
1:00 pm
saphyre
go daddy is a hosting company/ domain name registrar
1:01 pm
hootowl
I can't even figure out the "improvements" Yahoo made so I can't do anything I did before!\
1:01 pm
saphyre
and the domain name that the clues were on expired 3 days ago
1:01 pm
saphyre
Okay well if anyone is interested they can contact me
1:02 pm
hootowl
So some one has to renew the domain to keep kickety up. What does it cost?
1:02 pm
saphyre
no the person who owns it has to renew it
1:02 pm
saphyre
and it looks like it was a dot me so probably around $5-10
1:03 pm
saphyre
but if it is not being renewed and someone has access to the program that is used I am offering free webspace and free domain
1:03 pm
hootowl
I don't know if their cmp is up so I can't send an e-mail. Have to wait for someone who has a phone number
1:04 pm

HelenaB
are there 2 ar4/6?
3:41 pm
HelenaB
ok, super!
3:43 pm
HelenaB
anyone have the ma6?
3:45 pm
VermontMeow
I am new. Would someone please explain this to me. I get the very basic of making words but don't understand the tile or word stats or what things like 2 ar4/6 mean. Please enlighten me. Duh! Thanks.
3:46 pm
HelenaB
i was asking if there were 2 words that are "ar4/6"
3:46 pm
HelenaB
what this means is four letter words starting with "ar" that are worth 6 pts
3:46 pm
HelenaB
pts are on tiles
3:46 pm
sallyds
ma 6 is pl of ma 4 which is a spice.
3:47 pm
HelenaB
4 letter words - pts are on tiles, 5 letter words - pts on tiles are doubled, i think then they are trippled for 6 letter words
3:47 pm
HelenaB
but the second number is the pt value
3:47 pm
HelenaB
adn thanks, sally, i will look like that
3:47 pm
HelenaB
ah, the plurals! thanks sally!
3:49 pm
uusue2
thanks, sally!
3:50 pm
uusue2
and vermont, if you click the "help" button up at the top, it gives this information in a nicely concise form
3:50 pm
VermontMeow
Thanks a lot Helena! No wonder it is named Babble. LOL!
3:50 pm
uusue2
the only thing I would add to it is that I don't think very many people worry about who "wins", and everyone who finds all the words in a grid is a winner anyway
3:52 pm
VermontMeow
Unsue - Well, I won't be worrying about winning - I am FAR from that. LOL!
3:53 pm
uusue2
I don't worry about it either, vermont! Sometimes I have time to finish, with a lot of help from the chat, but mostly I don't. The game is fun either way and the people are great.
3:57 pm
VermontMeow
Well so far I only have 25 words and 259 points!
3:59 pm
VermontMeow
So, does the word stats mean there are 12 four letter words for 59 points, 3 six letter words for 10 points? That doesn't seem to make sense. Sorry to be so dense.
3:59 pm
uusue2
no, it means that there are 59 four-letter words and you have found 12 of them.
4:00 pm
VermontMeow
Oh ho! The light dawns! LOL! I am litterally LOL. Thanks unsue!!!
4:00 pm
sallyds
Fireworks! I can't remember the last time I finished so I feel good. Thanks for all the help.
4:01 pm
uusue2
and then the tile stats tell you how many words begin from that letter, but not how long they are
4:01 pm
uusue2
yay, sally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:03 pm
VermontMeow
Did Sally get all 101 words?
4:04 pm
VermontMeow
I did figure the tile stats out by myself. But the word stats really had me buffaloed. Thanks a lot.
4:04 pm
uusue2
she did, vermont! When you do that, a little video of fireworks appears where the tile stats are, so that's why when people finish they say "fireworks".
4:07 pm
VermontMeow
Congratulations, Sally! Yow! I am only 1/3 the way there. Ha ha. You deserve fireworks.
4:09 pm
Good Enough
Hi Sue! Uni off today?
4:10 pm
uusue2
hi, GE! No, we had classes; I am playing hooky from the departmental colloquium at the moment.
4:10 pm
Good Enough
Welcome vermont
4:11 pm
Good Enough
my daughter had classes today but i thought perhaps the state schools were off.
4:11 pm
uusue2
and since the public schools are off, prospective students use today to visit the campus, so I talked to about 5 or 6 would-be physics majors! We don't often get that many, so I was pretty excited!
4:12 pm
Good Enough
well that's cool! i always thought professors might find those visits as a big interuption
4:13 pm
Good Enough
hey are th4 making you wait thru the weekend for the results or did you hear?
4:13 pm
uusue2
well, I am in kind of a bad mood anyway, so talking to eager young students cheers me up :-)
4:14 pm
uusue2
(and it takes me away from grading exams, which I hate)
4:15 pm
Good Enough
continuing man troubles?
4:15 pm
uusue2
indeed; I have put a brief screed in my profile
4:17 pm
Good Enough
oh that ba7 (not in the grid)!! How do people live with themselves. Happy about the thyroid though :)
4:17 pm
VermontMeow
Thanks, Good.
4:18 pm
uusue2
yes, I decided not to meet with the doctor although I don't know if I want to spend the rest of my life having thyroid ultrasounds every year
4:18 pm
uusue2
and I agree with you about my ex :-)
4:19 pm
uusue2
he won't respond to my email although I may hear from him when he realizes the alimony check bounced (I stopped payment on it)
4:20 pm
uusue2
and yes, I have been paying him alimony, so he could make the payments on the property
4:20 pm
Good Enough
i don't understand how they could come after you if you deeded to him. that sucks
4:20 pm
uusue2
well, my name is on the loan; I thought that the divorce decree that said he was responsible for the payments would trump that but the bank doesn't agree
4:23 pm
Good Enough
i have a friend who in short had a good job, then unemployed, now working below level, youngest to college, no child support, stopped paying on townhouse she's underwater on, boxes packed and waiting to see how long sshe can stay n the house til the bank kicks her out. the new american story.
4:23 pm
Good Enough
she is coping so well. it's just the way it is. i'd be a basketcase!
4:24 pm
uusue2
I actually wouldn't mind losing my house; he left me with huge loans on it and a lot of unfinished projects - the living room has no ceiling, the kitchen has no countertops, and so on - I can't afford to fix it because I have no money left over
4:25 pm
uusue2
this way I could rent for a while - and because we are a college town in the cornfields rents are cheap - and then when I retire I could actually move!
4:25 pm
Good Enough
oh my. God bless you.
4:25 pm
Good Enough
i'd be crabby too sue. i think you're allowed.
4:26 pm
uusue2
in fact if I do a chapter 7 I might retire soon; without all the debts I could live on my retirement income (and if the state passes the bill they are talking about, I'd have to either pay another 10% of my income into the state retirement fund or work until I am at least 67)
4:28 pm
Good Enough
retirement sounds great to me. how about to you?
4:28 pm
uusue2
it is looking better and better every day :-)
4:29 pm
uusue2
when I was younger I thought I would never want to retire, but then there are a lot of things that I thought when I was younger that turned out not to be true :-)
4:29 pm
Good Enough
i hear that!
4:30 pm
Good Enough
how can there be 14 Hs?
4:31 pm
uusue2
beats me, GE, so far I only have 7 of them and don't exactly see any more
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
dutchy kinda words
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have 10
4:32 pm
uusue2
oh. the ones with the vowels in the wrong order, those always flummox me
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
don't have stats on the rest though.
4:33 pm
Good Enough
thx kap. that helped a bit
4:34 pm
Good Enough
got me to halfway. now i must go buy some milk for dinner and then i'm (happily) in for the night.
4:34 pm
uusue2
see you, GE!
4:34 pm
uusue2
oh, and hi, kap!
4:34 pm

4:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne

4:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
at this point most of the new kitchen cabinets are in but the REALLY hard part for me is what do do with all the crap that has been in the old ones- drawers too...
4:38 pm
uusue2
ugh, kap, sounds like no fun
4:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
My husband buys in bulk and just stuffs everything in randomly. We have SOOOOOOOOOO many containers of the same things!
4:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
How much thyme do you need?
4:39 pm
uusue2
ha, I just went through the freezer part of our fridge, and told my partner that we didn't need any more edamame - there were already 5 bags in there!
4:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne
How many teabags? Lightbulbs? Boxes of brown rice?
4:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne
6 black pepper grinders? Seriously?
4:40 pm
uusue2
that's pretty funny, kap :-)
4:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Little bags and jars of unidentified bean-type foods.
4:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
No, it's grounds for divorce.
4:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Moth infested cereals.
4:41 pm
uusue2
I remember my grandfather organizing my grandmother's pantry once - her organizational system was similar to your husband's - he found 14 (!) boxes of cinnamon!
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh- plastic bags and water bottles.
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have been crowded out of my own existence. And the one problem with getting new stuff in part of the house?
4:41 pm
uusue2
oh, there's an excuse to throw it all out and start over! (well, maybe except for the lightbulbs) - once the moths get into things it is hard to get them out
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Everything else looks even worse.
4:41 pm
uusue2
what, kap?
4:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The new countertops won't be in for thanksgiving when the kids are home.
4:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
But the moths are being evicted.
4:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh- and disposable cups.
4:43 pm
uusue2
well, I still have plywood countertops from 5 years ago, can't afford to get real ones
4:43 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You can't divorce a guy after almost 25 years for these kind of habits- and they're not going to change, so...
4:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I should have taken a picture of the cabinets and countertops before we tore them out- well, the old wood is stilll on the counter, in pieces/
4:44 pm
uusue2
so you learn to cope (although why we're always the ones that have to cope I don't know)
4:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Unbelievable what you can get used to.
4:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
We actually almost have too many shelves and cabinets- when you take out the stuff that doesn't need to be there.
4:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Like the 6 cans of hot cocoa and all the pinto beans that were on top of the toilet paper in the closet we call "pantry."
4:46 pm
cybernan
hello everyone :) Checking in for just a short while --visiting kids, but everyone is busy at the moment
4:46 pm

The one with the door that doesn't shut because of all the plastic bags hanging on the doorknob.
4:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Doesn't make you wanna visit me, huh?
4:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hi Cy.
4:47 pm
uusue2
and don't worry, kap, you don't want to visit me either :-)
4:47 pm

4:58 pm

I just figured you weren't talking to me because of my bejeweled score... heh heh
4:58 pm
mich_pdx
oh yes, that's it ;)
4:58 pm
mich_pdx
has there been any talk in the chog about mrp and lickety?
4:59 pm
mich_pdx
I know there were health issues and maybe moving? Lickety's website expired.
5:01 pm
m9f9l
grannyrose said she talked with them on phone.. and they were unpacking in new place.
5:02 pm
m9f9l
but I only know that from doing a quick search just now
5:02 pm
cybernan
I think if Lickety ever decides to repost the program it will have to be under a new domain name as it looks like Go Daddy scooped this one
5:04 pm
mich_pdx
Go Daddy will sell it, that's what they do. I hope they are well, and I miss Lickety's list. If it was a question of money I would Paypal the website domain cost, no problem.
5:06 pm
cybernan
yes -- go daddy will sell it, but not for 9.95 USD -- more like 50.00 USD
5:10 pm
mich_pdx
corporate greed mongers (shakes cyber fist) Well, if anyone hears about a fundraiser for Lickety's fantastic clue site, let me know. I guess that would be on you, M9 as we are FB friends.
5:13 pm
mich_pdx
In the meantime I'm dead in the water at 31 left and a delightful score of 777.
5:15 pm

Ah 4/6! I've accomplished the fe 4/7 of finishing this ha 4/6 grid so here is a story of clues. When I was in high school, I played on a great basketball te4/5. We won most of our games. Then I my family moved and I had to tr 8/55 to a new school. I did not like the new basketball te4/5 I played on.The players weren't nice to me because I was new. Th4/7 made fun of the way I played. I hated playing with th 4/5. Dr 4/5! Hubby wants laptop. I guess th 4/5 is the end of my story. I fr 4/7 he'll become a ra 6/18 and start ra 4/4ing and sc6/24ing.I'm going to go da4/5 into the kitchen and go eat some ice cr 5/14.Then I am going to go read a Ma4/7 Angelou book in bed before going to sleep.Bye!

9:54 pm

Thanks Minveryorik. I have no clue. All I know is that it is a four letter word. I don't know much about this. I'm a newbie. How can I figure out what I don't know? I'm literally laughing out loud as I write this. LOL!
9:54 pm
LeslieAnn
look at the tile stats under the grid - what letter is still white? (like 1/2 or 4/5)
9:55 pm

Yes, I live in VT. Was born and grew up here. Then lived all over both coasts. Finally came home to roost 25 years ago on the same road about eight miles from where I lived as a kid.

A is white.

I am no good a words that start with vowels.
9:57 pm
Minveryork
I grew up in a really small town called South Strafford Vermont which is near White River Junction & Sharon
9:57 pm
LeslieAnn
some of the 4-letter A words are: the company in looney tunes that makes anvils, a measure of land, a word that sounds like clearing your throat, and the money you throw into the pot at the beginning of a poker hand
9:58 pm
VermontMeow
Thanks Leslie.
