How many words today please

1:03 am

grannyrose

132, gran

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

Here are the instructions I use for excel 2007: Instructions from ARB for putting babble grid results into profile:

• Copy word list into an Excel spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 5 columns (because of ? for dictionary).
• Then insert a column after the word.
• Then write a formula in the first line after the word, example - " =left($B1,2)" (the $ makes the formula absolute)
• Then copy the formula all the way down (put cursor in bottom right of the top cell with the formula and drag down to end of word list).
• Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points

I am just starting to understand a little. HelenaB explained some things to me. I have not found the "Help" very helpful. LOL!

1:15 am

jillibus

Sorry -- I've been enjoying our weekly Friday night get-together here -- almost typed Fried-day night, appropriately ;-)

1:17 am

jillibus

Unfortunately, vermontmeow, you've hit Babble at a bad time, when the very helpful Lickety list is unavailable temporarily, but as you may have found out, people are happy to assist

1:17 am

VermontMeow

Hey, is everyone getting a message "Word couldn't be added. Please try again in a minute." several times or is it just me.

1:18 am

rururocks

refresh vermont

1:18 am

VermontMeow

Dang, I forgot words it wouldn't let me post.

1:18 am

VermontMeow

Jill, let me know when the Lickety list is available please, I could use plenty of help. I was crazed on the earlier puzzle.

1:19 am

rururocks

we call them the red boxes of death

1:19 am

jillibus

Flosey may not have been here yet because there was a power outage at her end of the island -- there was the tail end of that Alaskan storm with high winds but it didn't affect my area.

1:19 am

rururocks

you can get a list by clicking on dee profile

1:19 am

cosdem

vermont -- volley has a list in her profile which is helpful

1:19 am

m9f9l

oohh.. 2!

1:19 am

rururocks

or volleymomdee

1:20 am

jillibus

ey gang -- Vermont is a jigidi addict, like me now

1:21 am

rururocks

it is my profile now too

1:21 am

VermontMeow

Thanks for your help everyone. I will do as much as I can without help and then see what happens. Oh yeah, I have been a Jigidi addict for years.

1:21 am

jillibus

oh great, ruru

1:21 am

rururocks

what is jigidi?

1:21 am

jillibus

jigid.com -- the best jigsaws ever

1:22 am

VermontMeow

Jigidi is a web site where you can create and on-line jigsaw puzzle from any photo and you can solve 1000s of puzzles posted by people around the world in all sizes.

1:22 am

VermontMeow

So, how do I find someone's profile if I want to look at a list later?

1:23 am

rururocks

click on my goat

1:23 am

jillibus

attagal, meow!

1:24 am

rururocks

you can go to rankings and find me or volleymomdee and clck on it

1:24 am

jillibus

If you click on the icons you get a profile of the player and in some cases (like mine) a bit about the daily icon theme

1:24 am

rururocks

jilli is the queen bee of icons

1:25 am

VermontMeow

Thanks Rocks! That is a very funny goat. I didn't notice the grin until I clicked on it. I love goats. So, your list tells me how many words there are with those first two letters and that # pts, right?

1:26 am

jillibus

I just enjoy folowint the themes suggested by other players and listed in my profile. It's really Sprite in the Netherlands who collects the themes suggested by everyone.

1:26 am

Jill - do you folks know each other in person? I just looked at that photo of you with the cake. And, lady, I should look half as good as you at your age - should I live that long. No one would ever guess your age.

1:29 am

jillibus

Meow, we had a get-together in person in Olympia, WA in Aug 2010 and had had a couple of smaller others here and there before that, so yes, some of us actually know each other in person. But we feel as if we have known several others quite closely for years. And thanks for the compliments.My years may be 84 but I feel like 48.

1:32 am

m9f9l

oh yeah.. i better get to bed. nite all.

Hello everyone. Lots of Australian slang in this one

1:38 am

lynxxx

What's happening with your knee/s Ruru...have you had them fixed?

1:38 am

jillibus

hi lynxxx -- whereya been?

1:39 am

scouser

Yes Jillibus: I belong to Ranulf Higden Society which does translation from medieval Latin to English and also some Anglo-Norman. Mostly legal documents at moment doing a list of charters in Anglo-Norman, and many an of our group are doing some stuff to do with the Gascony Wars which is great for vocab). See website www.ranulfhigden.org.uk

1:39 am

jillibus

Lynxxx -- if I get to Melbourne in March any chance of a meeting?

1:39 am

lynxxx

Hi Jilli, still been playing but not so obsessively I guess (must have some time for Jigidi)

1:40 am

jillibus

Yikes, scouser! How fascinating!

1:40 am

lynxxx

That would be great Jilli! I'll speak to you closer to March. How exciting - a long time dream coming true for you

1:41 am

jillibus

Lyn, what name do you play jigidi under?

1:42 am

lynxxx

Same as here Jilli

1:42 am

scouser

Yes and the Anglo-Norman has the wonderful Anglo-Norman dictionary on-line: a work of total dedication by the compilers. www.anglo-norman.net its worth a look to see how well a site can run.

1:42 am

jillibus

And my email address is at the bottom of my profile -- please use it, minus the spaces

1:43 am

jillibus

and I'm same as here on jigidi too

Haz1558

Good night, jillibus. Good morning/evening all.

2:04 am

lynxxx

Afternoon Haz - actually evening now. Still not used to the Daylight Saving change

2:06 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxx. It takes a while, doesn't it? We've got lighter mornings now but it gets dark earlier. It makes you feel like hibernating!

2:07 am

lynxxx

Do your farmers grumble about daylight savings too?

2:09 am

Haz1558

Not really, but there are rumours that the government is considering a change whereby in the wintertime the dawn would be an hour later. It means that for people living in the north it wouldn't be light until 9.00 am. They tried it years ago when I was at primary school and it was horrible!

2:11 am

Haz1558

The farmers over find that the weather gives them plenty to grumble about.

2:11 am

Haz1558

*over here*

2:11 am

lynxxx

That would be - would hate to live where the days are really short. i don't like heat but really like the sun light

2:13 am

Haz1558

It's great in the summer time because we have daylight until 10.30 pm but we suffer for it in the wintertime when it's dark by 4.30 pm. I love to see the days lengthening in the spring.

2:22 am

rbud

yippee, fireworks... off I go, nite all! :)

2:23 am

Haz1558

Well done, rbud. Good night.

2:24 am

lynxxx

Congrats Rosebud

2:28 am

lynxxx

Updated my icon Haz - thought you might like to see it. A 60th birthday present for a close friends whose dearly loved poodle passed a few months ago

2:29 am

Haz1558

It's lovely. Almost a Veronica Lake look with one eye hidden. Is it watercolours?

2:32 am

lynxxx

The har was artfully draped over the non-existant eye (melanoma). A digitally manipulated image from a photo supplied. Some of her stuff is very pop art like. I will get Stew done by her when I get a suitable photo

2:32 am

lynxxx

har = hair

2:34 am

Haz1558

How clever! It does give the dog a certain 'come-hither' look.

2:35 am

lynxxx

How is Spangle?

2:36 am

Haz1558

She's showing her age a bit! She's 11 now and isn't as agile as she used to be. She's in good spirits, though, and still glares at cats who dare to trespass.

2:38 am

Haz1558

There's no point trying to bring her on long walks any more. She's so slow and keep staging sit-down strikes. We've got her on arthritis medication to see if that helps. Of course, she's maybe just turned lazy!

2:39 am

lynxxx

plus it IS getting a bit colder now

2:39 am

Haz1558

The infuriating thing about the walks is that as soon as you turn for home, she immediately pe5/20 and gets a positive spring in her step.

2:41 am

lynxxx

everytime I take my sook for a middling fast walk now he becomes lame and limps around on 3 legs for the next day or so (different feet each time mind you). Yes - have been to vet previously but he couldn't find anything wrong. I think he is putting it on???

2:42 am

Haz1558

I think they are in a conspiracy.

2:51 am

lynxxx

I'll see you later Haz - enough of babble for tonight. Enjoy your weekend

2:51 am

Haz1558

You too, lynxxx. Bye!

3:15 am

Good morning, sprite.

hey Haz :)

3:17 am

Haz1558

How are you this morning?

3:17 am

sprite

pretty good, thank you. And you?

3:18 am

Haz1558

I'm fine. We have blue skies so that's always a bonus.

3:19 am

sprite

here as well. Cold and clear. If the body allows, I will go for a long walk with the Terror.

3:20 am

Haz1558

I met a little Cavalier in the bank yesterday. He/she was an assistance dog for a lady in a wheelchair. Such a friendly little dog, it submitted to having its ears scratched very eagerly.

3:21 am

sprite

that is marvellous, a cavalier as assistance dog. They are so willing to learn and so friendly, I guess they are just right for the job.

3:22 am

Haz1558

I wish I had had the chance to speak to the lady but once she had finished her business at the counter, she seemed to be eager to get away. I'd have loved to have found out what the little dog could do for her.

3:23 am

sprite

oh yes. Would have been interesting.

3:24 am

Haz1558

I'll keep an eye out for her in the town and maybe get the chance to speak to her again.

3:25 am

sprite

yes and maybe at a time when she'll enjoy a little talk. I'd love to hear, if you ever find out.

3:26 am

sprite

Yessss Ks Killed.

3:26 am

Haz1558

I'll let you know.

3:26 am

Haz1558

Now you can enjoy the rest of the puzzle.

Griffums

hi-hi... up in the middle of the night but won't last more than a couple minutes :)

3:35 am

sprite

we could bore you to sleep?

3:35 am

herinfernallady

I intend not to fall over from sneezing from dust

3:36 am

sprite

sounds like a plan, lady

3:36 am

herinfernallady

I bought asthma meds today so I should be set

3:37 am

Griffums

haha... Fell asleep very early last night and all the dogs (eight of them here tonight) let me know at midnight that we HAD to get up. but I'm fading. Beautiful snow here, coming down hard!

3:37 am

sprite

I didn't know you suffered from asthma, lady.

3:37 am

sprite

woot, quite a lot of dogs!

3:38 am

herinfernallady

When the weather is playing up. Griff what sort of dogs?

3:38 am

herinfernallady

Is that a Roti in your pic?

3:39 am

Griffums

Lots of clients traveling so we have a houseful of puppy guests. My two are Luther (12 yo 3-legged Lab), Kearney (12 year old Golden girl newly adopted), then the guests are a French bulldog, two miniature bull terriers, a Briard, a Lab/Beagle mix, and a chocolate Lab. Yes, the Rottie has always been my icon (soul dog Gryphon 1988-2001).

3:40 am

sprite

sounds like fun... and a lot of work :)

3:40 am

herinfernallady

They are all great dogs you are looking after. Frenchies are one of my favs

3:42 am

Griffums

Oh, the Frenchies just kill me too. This little brindle guy has a personality of epic proportion. Sprite, I love my job so much I literally take it home every day. ;)

3:42 am

sprite

lol too true :D

3:42 am

herinfernallady

Have you seen the Wampug

3:43 am

Soodle

Hey everybody. :-) I have to say, Rotties are my personal favourite..

3:43 am

sprite

hi Soodle :)
I love spaniels best. Especially the cavalier.

3:44 am

Hello, Soodle.

3:44 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sooddle.

3:44 am

yummy, a Guinness!

3:45 am

The pug dressed as the Wampa? :) Yes. Hi Soodle. I think I have your icon in the fridge right now.

Haz... long long time no see. Its good to see you :-)

3:46 am

sprite

hahaha great pun, and true

3:46 am

Haz1558

You too, Soodle.

3:47 am

herinfernallady

Yep a pug as Wampa. They are their own little people.

3:47 am

sprite

he seems to be proud of his costume, lady

3:47 am

herinfernallady

My best friend had a rotti sadly he was put down at 4 years old from collapsed hips and hocks. He was so badly bred this was one of his many problems. He was a rescue.

3:48 am

sprite

breeding should be done to acquire optimal health and fun, not for appearances

3:50 am

Griffums

My rottigrrl Diva was the same way. I got her at 18 months and she was a mess for hips and knees. But she loved her life, painful as it was at times, and did a lot of good among frail elderly and Alz patients who understood the gentle disabled dog. Let her go at age 6.

3:50 am

herinfernallady

true. As he was a street rescue they were not sure of his back ground

3:50 am

sprite

a sad story, Griffs.

3:51 am

herinfernallady

Griffs you gave her the best life though

3:51 am

Soodle

I still miss our old Rotti - King, who we lost in the summer of 2010. He has been replaced by a dimwit mongrel, Daisy. If Daisy were a human, she would be a blonde. (apologies to all blondes present).

3:51 am

Griffums

I've got a lot of those, sprite, but the rewards have always outweighed the sad parts. I can't imagine adopting any dog who *isn't* elderly or broken now.

3:53 am

sprite

they are lucky to end up with you, Griffs.

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Soddle let me guess dumb as a post?

3:54 am

Griffums

And I still get to play with the whole, healthy, young and loved-by-someone-else dogs so it all works out. Soodle, what mix is your Daisy?

3:55 am

sprite

blondes are more fun, or so they say

3:55 am

Soodle

Dumber, Herin. An absolute twit!

3:55 am

Soodle

Dumber, Herin. An absolute twit!

3:55 am

Soodle

Dumber, Herin. An absolute twit!

3:55 am

Griffums

That was emphatic. <g>

3:55 am

sprite

lol!

3:56 am

Soodle

LOL, just proving that I'm equally dumb!

3:56 am

herinfernallady

We had an Irish Setter sweet dog so very very dense

3:56 am

Griffums

'Emphatic' is also a phantom in the grid

3:56 am

that whole -tic ending is kind of phantomish

I have to get stuff done soon too like eat dinner

4:11 am

not unimportant. I should make coffee, for starters. But that means walking stairs. So I guess I will wait until my beloved awakes and makes me coffee :)

4:11 am

herinfernallady

That is a much better plan Sprite

4:12 am

lol yes. This way I can save my walking quota for today for my dog.

4:46 am

westford

that's just a number anyway..he may surprise his doctors

4:47 am

SeaSpray

hopefully that is the case as he is a tough old bird

4:49 am

SeaSpray

are you having cold weather west?

4:49 am

westford

yes it's starting to get chilly but more to come I'm sure

4:51 am

westford

we've had summer and winter within days of each other..now we're settling into Autumn

4:52 am

westford

how is it for you?

4:53 am

SeaSpray

we have had strange weather this year, snowed before halloween and that is unheard of here, very rainy summer, tornado hit a friends house (also rare), earthquake...makes you wonder what the winter will bring

4:54 am

gramma

Hey guys. I just went to Babblers Anon and instead of the stats, all the words are listed. Kind of takes the fun out of the game. So, if you don't want to know, don't go there.

4:54 am

westford

everything is wonky this year..I saw a squirrel that had to have the bushiest tail I've ever seen..I think we'll have a cold winter

4:54 am

SeaSpray

Oh my...thanks gramma

4:55 am

westford

thanks gramma I wonder who was so tired they did that

4:55 am

gramma

I don't know how to undo it.

4:56 am

westford

I'm going to look at Volleymomdee's profile she usually has a list

4:56 am

negativeneil

Oh no! I see Arb has done that... and there's no way to undo or delete it. Only Arb can do that.

4:56 am

westford

hi neil what are you doing up so late?

4:56 am

Jacula

Hi all. Gramma - Thanks for drawing that to our attention. I've been into BabAnon and deleted that list for ARB.

4:57 am

negativeneil

I'm sorry I wasn't here to post a stats list... we were out very late, well past flip-time. Didn't get in until about an hour ago.

4:57 am

negativeneil

Well we were out late tonight... or last night now. And hi to you too, westford. :)

4:57 am

westford

hello jac glad you could do that

4:57 am

gramma

Well it's a matter of choice or willpower. Don't look, don't look, be strong.

4:57 am

negativeneil

How's it going? Cold, I see.

4:57 am

SeaSpray

lol I just got up an hour ago

4:57 am

negativeneil

Haha, gramma. :)

4:57 am

gramma

ty, I think

4:58 am

Jacula

I can't put stats in yet as I'm only halfway through the grid but it's free for anyone to put a list in now without fear of seeing words.

4:58 am

negativeneil

Another live streamed debate broadcast this evening at 5pm PST if you're interested, westford. Details will be on profile.

4:59 am

negativeneil

My dad will be my guest on mic this time.

4:59 am

westford

good neil I thought I'd have to see it in real time

4:59 am

gramma

I don't have a clue how you guys do that. Plus I only have 12 words. Pretty short list.

5:01 am

westford

nice seeing all of you and special hugs to kazzer and seaspray

5:02 am

5:14 am

gramma

Eva, do you have snow?

5:14 am

negativeneil

We were out pretty late, Eva.

5:15 am

Eva

had about 15 minutes of heavy snow yesterday, but no accumulation. What about over the mountains there?

5:15 am

negativeneil

Then I did the grid after Jen fell asleep. :P
[yep, I'm a true Babble addict]

5:15 am

Eva

ah youth.....

5:15 am

negativeneil

SNOW? Ugh.

5:16 am

gramma

Spring like

5:16 am

Eva

that's why you live in Ca and we live in VT neil

5:16 am

Eva

it was spring like and snowing. very odd

5:16 am

negativeneil

Yep. Well I live here because I was born and raised here and my family are mainly here... the immediate family. I have some family in VT actually. My parents are from there.

5:17 am

gramma

Not really odd. Happens all the time in the banana belt of Vt

5:17 am

negativeneil

But my parents moved to IN and lived there for a little while... my brother was born there. Then they moved with him across the country when he was about a year old to San Diego, where I was born and we were raised.

5:18 am

Eva

Do you like San Diego?

5:19 am

negativeneil

Check updates on profile, Eva. Doing our 2nd GOP live streamed debate on my website this evening at 5pm PST. My dad will be my guest on the mic this time... he's fun.

5:19 am

negativeneil

Well yes, of course... it's home.

5:19 am

negativeneil

I comment over the debates on a mic, with a guest.

5:20 am

dpomfr

Licketsplit Babble Expert seems to have gone out of business. Has anybody got any news?

5:20 am

Eva

Can't listen to things like that without having some sort of cardiac event neil.

5:20 am

negativeneil

No, dpomfr. No clue when that will be available again.

5:20 am

Eva

although I'm sure your commentary would be fun

5:20 am

negativeneil

I see, Eva... well we make it fun, hopefully.

[that's better... meant to put that in one post]

5:22 am

negativeneil

Oh what a nice gesture that would be, gramma!

5:23 am

gramma

I don't actually understand how this stuff works. Is that feasible to do?

5:23 am

Eva

I know it may seem to you like sticking my head in the sand Neil, but I feel like I'm very aware of just how crazy and troubled we human beings are and I just don't need to have specific examples of it over and over again. Does much better for my mental health to do what I can to be creative and build somewhat sane community around me.

5:23 am

negativeneil

You'd have to check with that domain host, gramma.

5:23 am

Eva

I think I saw a post earlier that someone had already grabbed it up for commercial purposes-but might be willing to sell it

5:24 am

negativeneil

Well that's your prerogative, Eva... you don't have to come to my website and watch the live stream and listen to our commentaries... but you're very welcome to if you decide to.

5:24 am

Eva

they were discussing it around 3 am

5:24 am

gramma

Oh Eva, that's a shame. Kick'em while they're down.

5:24 am

negativeneil

Why would someone else grab up Lickety's domain name? As far as I remember it wasn't one anyone else would even be interested in?

5:25 am

Eva

But I am very glad that there are people like you who are different from me and have the energy and personality to do what I can't.

5:25 am

negativeneil

Mind you, neither is mine... it's my online name. But someone hacked my website last year and wiped it all out on me... and stole my domain name. I battled for most of a year to try and get it back! In the end I registered another one with a .net ending instead of the .com that I had.

5:26 am

Eva

I may have misunderstood-came in late in the conversation and it was 3 am.

5:26 am

negativeneil

We're all different, Eva... which makes life more interesting.

5:26 am

gramma

Does the domain come with us?

5:26 am

negativeneil

Oh, Eva? Check my update for October 26.

5:27 am

negativeneil

You may find the clip amusing... we went down to Occupy LA and I was interviewing some of the protesters.

5:27 am

Eva

will do

5:29 am

negativeneil

It's not professional.. a friend who is a videographer shot that for me so I could put in my website and I have it on my Youtube channel as well.

5:29 am

negativeneil

And that friend added the graphics and text for me too... I don't have a clue how to do that stuff.

5:29 am

negativeneil

It was shot on October 15.

5:30 am

gramma

Yape that serh is a perty wank.

5:30 am

gramma

This is what happens to me. I see words and can justify them define them and make them my own.

5:32 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, yeah. I was about to ask what language that is? ;) Don't understand, sorry.

5:32 am

gramma

I have to neutre my wank.

5:33 am

negativeneil

Ummm, do I want to know what a 'wank' is?

5:33 am

gramma

Don't you ever try words that don't exist? After awhile they keep cropping up in my head.

5:33 am

negativeneil

I mean I know what it is... usually.

5:34 am

negativeneil

Not usually... except in certain word games, because you never know what might work, haha!

5:34 am

negativeneil

Boggle-type word games, you know?

5:35 am

gramma

I may have just confessed to a major illness. Babbleitis. or ?

5:36 am

negativeneil

I don't know? I just have a Babble addiction. But I should emulate my more sensible g/f and join her in slumber. I have to actually be up later this morning to do a bunch of stuff before my dad arrives to do the GOP debate live-stream commentating with me, ugh. Gonna be a busy day.

5:37 am

negativeneil

So wherever you are, if you're still here, Eva... talk to you later/another time. Take care and a good morning to you both! Bye for now.

rubyfoo

bite your tongue, patxxx -- not ready for snow

6:24 am

rubyfoo

is it a coincidence when words appear two days in a row?

6:25 am

gramma

No it's a memory test

6:25 am

gramma

ty, ruby. I was having a moment, but I seemed to scare people.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

it confuses me, because I think I've already put the word in! duh

6:26 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was very funny, gramma

6:26 am

gramma

I was being silly

6:27 am

gramma

I just finished and I'd offer clues but the grid's too easy I think.

6:27 am

6:37 am

6:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

If we did away with lists and all that, babble might become a thing where people don't make themselves finish, rather get as many words as possible

6:38 am

rubyfoo

kaplan, that is just how I play! I get as many words as I can, pick up a few from the chogs and my friends, and hardly ever finish, maybe 6 times in almost two years

6:38 am

Christa

Good Morning to all!!

6:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

me too.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

and how are you, kaplan?

6:39 am

hello christa

6:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

It would be just as fun.

6:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Fine. and you?

6:39 am

Christa

me three. never had fireworks once in 6 years. still love babble!!

6:39 am

rubyfoo

it suits me, and that's all I care about

6:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

But wanker is not a word.

6:40 am

pianoman

that's the only way I've really ever played, for years now. No fireworks yet.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I've had it when crossy and FM carried me across the finish line

6:40 am

pianoman

Love that you tried wanker.

6:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Sometimes I go for fireworks if I can get down to a pretty low number of missing words.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

is too!!!! lol

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I tried it too, also wank

6:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

6:41 am

rubyfoo

he got a great job, christa, thanks for asking!

6:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

nice word.

6:42 am

Christa

is he singing in this new job?

6:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

No wanker, no weany.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

no, he is operations manager for a NYSE listed company, opening up an office for them in Austin (they're in Houston), so he'll still be able to play on weekends

6:43 am

rubyfoo

perfect

6:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

My other favorite word is ya4.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I was afraid he'd turn it down to keep doing music full time

6:45 am

rubyfoo

somehow, I don't think this is a great time to turn down jobs!

6:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

Music full time would be nice though.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

he's just done that for more than two years. I was afraid data-base tehnology would pass him by

6:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

yeah

6:47 am

rubyfoo

this way, he has it all

6:47 am

rubyfoo

and can stay in Austin, which is most important

6:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

I want it all!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

(I thought I had it all....)

6:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

I wonder what it all is.

6:49 am

rubyfoo

you're supposed to know, wise kaplan!

6:51 am

rubyfoo

have to go with 50 left. Hope to see you later!!!

6:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

I must have forgotten somehow.

6:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have 49 left. Maybe later.

6:51 am

one must actually have a house in order to lose it.,.there are tougher scenarios

9:12 am

crosshair

i remember the spike of the 80,s 24% on the mortgage

9:12 am

crosshair

homes were being lost left and right

9:12 am

Trifioso

I agree, crossy, but I also believe that the very wealthy bank managers were horrible in their choices.

9:13 am

crosshair

i am sure they are..my insurance is a travisty

9:13 am

Trifioso

my lack of affordable health insurance is a travesty

9:13 am

crosshair

but i have a home and things to actually insure

9:13 am

9:14 am

crosshair

well yes,the health care in the states needs help

9:14 am

herinfernallady

What is this guys background?

9:14 am

crosshair

ours is a long way from perfect,but everyone pays right out of the taxes and it is available to all...all the time

9:14 am

Trifioso

yes, as do I. but I can't argue with the reality of the wealth distribution. That is fact - the top 400 wealthiest people in America have an income that equals that of the lowest 50% of the people in America

9:16 am

crosshair

my brother is the 1% and make 20 times what i do per year simply buy catching cheater in online poker games,while i bust rocks for a living....such is life i do not ask him to send me half his pay every year

9:16 am

crosshair

i just do not understand i guess

9:16 am

Trifioso

I don't ask him to either. But it would be nice if those who ran these giant companies had SOME sort of a sense of what it is like to be on the other side of it.

9:17 am

crosshair

lol,i would love my banker to do my job for a week

9:17 am

Trifioso

does he needs an assistant, by any chance???

9:17 am

Trifioso

your brother, I mean

9:17 am

herinfernallady

Can I just say I personally feel it is complete b.s that one has no minimum wage in your country and no proper health system And what is worse Obama is trying to fix things whilst the rich SOB's oppose him

9:17 am

crosshair

me or my banker???

9:18 am

Trifioso

we have a minimum wage, herin.

9:18 am

crosshair

no,he was in the right place at the right time and got the silver spoon

9:18 am

herinfernallady

Do you have a nationally minimum weekly pay?

9:18 am

Trifioso

fair crack to your brother, crossy. sounds like he had to work hard to get in that right place

9:19 am

Trifioso

hmm. it's an minimum hourly wage, herin

9:19 am

Trifioso

and it's not the same in every state. Massachusetts minimum wage is $8 an hour

9:19 am

crosshair

lol,trif,he was good at cards,and in the right place when recruiting happened,got in on the ground floor and is now top ten in the company

9:20 am

herinfernallady

I was just looking at the list TOTAL B.S. In Aus we have a minimum wage of $545ish a week plus proper benifits

9:20 am

crosshair

more and more it is now what you know but who you know

9:20 am

herinfernallady

Here have a Wampug before I get pissy: http://tinyurl.com/7warrur

9:21 am

crosshair

benifits? what are these benefits you speak of??

9:22 am

crosshair

min wage jobs here get you min wage ..period.nothing extra

9:22 am

crosshair

you want extras on top of the govt health plan?? get blue cross

9:23 am

Trifioso

Bye sooooo

9:27 am

crosshair

and it drives me bonkers when i see protestors whining that the 4 year 40,000 dollar education they just finished is not instantly translating into a 6 figure job..know what my post-secondary education was?? a shovel,a row of ditches to dig and $3.25 an hour! lol

9:28 am

crosshair

but,it is grid time i think:)

9:34 am

herinfernallady

Cross tell that to a nearly retired teacher that is still paying of a student loan 15 years later. These protesters are not just protesting they are protesting there is no jobs at all the end because dim witted presidents like Bush sold America to the over seas market. And yes being an Aussie does affect (or is that effect us)

9:38 am

crosshair

my brother majored in english..4 years in university,graduated with many letters that he could put after his name.took him 13 years to pay it off..and in the end the degree was about as usefull as a roll of toilet paper

9:39 am

crosshair

lollook at us herin..we are joined at the hip with the states

9:39 am

crosshair

when the u.s coughs..we get a cold

9:40 am

herinfernallady

When the American economy tanks it effects as with the dollar, trade import / export and tourism

9:41 am

crosshair

and your teacher is not all that bad,she actually made it to university and got a actual job teaching,not putting together 3 "MCjobs" to pay the rent

9:43 am

herinfernallady

no this was an American Teacher. Also what Ereader do I want since Sony ditched the large edition

9:44 am

crosshair

here now all the big companies have it set up so you get nothing,no benifits,no senority,no gold watch after 30 years,they hire you for a day less one year as a sub contractor and llay you off for a week,so every 11 months is like starting a new job fresh

9:44 am

crosshair

ii would look at the new kobo vox herin

9:45 am

crosshair

it does everything but make you tea in the morning lol

9:46 am

herinfernallady

Does it have slots?

9:46 am

crosshair

and on a point you said,a china corporation just bought out our kobo division:((

9:46 am

herinfernallady

Isn't Kobo related to Borders?

9:46 am

crosshair

9:46 am

crosshair

9:49 am

IndiaJan

Only Tablet I would like is Toshiba

IndiaJan

There is a web sit called books on the knob, lists free books for kindle, kobo nook all ereaders in all formats i go there daily. some of it is crap, but i am an insomniac so i will read almost anything (except heaving bosoms ant thrusting loins genre)

9:56 am

IndiaJan

herinfernallady

I want a larger style screen. They are looking pretty handy what with the Stephen King book I am reading

10:03 am

bethn

what i love about the kindle is the battery life, the thing will allow me to read for weeks without charging - that is because there is no built in light. Also the paper-like screen with no glare is great

10:03 am

crosshair

i just got kings new book full dark,no stars on my reader for my next book:)))

10:03 am

Nef

you know, crossy, I would get so confused having so many electronic gadgets that I'd be trying to answer the kindle and pay bills on it too. ;-) I'm still usung my flip phone that I got about 5 years ago. I'm one of those "if it ain't broke; don't fix (or replace) it" types. :-)

10:17 am

herinfernallady

Nef I am the same

10:18 am

crosshair

lol nef..i pay bills on the tablet all the time,and can answer it using skype or google phone

10:18 am

Nef

my kids are pretty much the opposite; IF their budget allows.

10:19 am

crosshair

the thing is even a universal remote

10:19 am

Nef

crossy; that's even more technology than I can think of this AM!

10:20 am

herinfernallady

I do like that with the Iphone. The connection to music

10:20 am

I like to think of myself as a quiet one, but anyone who knows me wouldn't agree.

10:26 am

Nef

LOL, ruru! Me too! I keep falling asleep before finishing the grids. Last night I was down to 10 and had to quit at 11:30PM! Just couldn't stay awake those last few words

10:27 am

Nef

Roses, *I* AM the quiet one in my family; but all of my friends who've never met my family find that hard to believe

10:28 am

bethn

i dont chat often sometimes there is too much angst in here, i have enough of that in the noncyber world

10:29 am

Nef

I hear you, beth. I don't know what all is/has happened hear lately; but it's saddened me. I refuse to take sides and hope things settle down soon

10:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

I hate it when people ask what we possibly DO on thanksgiving. Turkey is the only meat dish of all the traditional ones.

10:35 am

Nef

This will be our first Thanksgiving without an older generation; we've always done holiday meals here but having someone older has always made it seem better. I don't know how I'll feel being the older generation now

10:35 am

bethn

is your thanksgiving in canada centered around turkey like the us Cross? or do you have a canadian tradition?

10:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

ha-ha poutine?

Yeah, Nef- we're supposed to be the KIDS.

It's kind of scary to think of for the first time, Kap! :-)

10:37 am

depending on who will join, i add ham, or veal or roast beef this year it it will be small, so just turkey, and chicken fingers and mac and cheese for a nephew who will not eat turkey

10:38 am

Nef

crossy, Canadian Thanksgiving was last month, wasn't it?

10:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have a relative who once didn't know how to deal with us as vegetarians on Thanksgiving- so she made us spaghetti. It was SO disappointing.

10:38 am

how can someone NOT eat turkey?

10:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

I mean, really?

I made cavatini one year...never again...I missed all the leftovers!

10:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

First, one doesn't cut the meat. Then one doesn't put it in one's mouth.

10:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

After not doing that, one doesn't chew. Then doesn't swallow.

10:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

And washes it all down with cider.

I went to a wedding last year and was seated at the middle aged table - I was shocked - ( and slightly offended, ) WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN????

in tyhe early 70,s my dad was obsessed with doing a turkey so it looked just like the ones you see on the tv shows,all done to a purfect turn and uniformly golden brown..so he bagan,he basted it ever 15 minutes,he turned the pan to different angles in the oven for even heat,he talked to it,he pleaded with it.then it was time.he opened the oven and there it was,golden,plump,beautiful... he went to pull the rack out to grab the roasting pan with the oven mitss..then it happened...the back end of the rack slid out of the slots in the oven,the entire shelf tilted suddenly forward dumping the entire birt and all those hot drippings onto the floor!the worst thing was it slid across the floor of the kitchen and right into the small utility closet where in that day we kept the cat litter box,and finished its trip nestled in the loving embrace of used cat little and turdies..my dad cried for a day and the cats ate like kigs for two weeks....so i do hams now

10:43 am

Nef

We usually made a 15 lb turkey and everyone went home with leftovers of everything. I'd use the bones and our leftoverturkey for some wonderful soup (never had enough for numerous meals later)

10:44 am

I can just see it too. We've had some "Julia Child" moments in our kitchen too; but none like that! (Julia Child once dropped a roast or bird or something onto the floor just as she was ready to serve it ; picked it up; put it back on the platter and told the TV audience that what the guests didn't know didn't happen

My girlfriends friend told her the way to a perrfect turkey was to roast it in a paper bag, so she seasoned, oiled, stuffed and then inserted the turkey into a large grocery bag ( this was back in the days when paper bags were the norm). As you have probably anticipated, about 2 hours in, the bird caught fire, her kids were screaming and she yas yelling " open the window , open the window!!" her son opened the dining room window, she used the sink sprayer to douse the flames, and the turkey sailed out of the dining room window. The family trooped down, hosed off the charred remains and brought the turkey back upstairs and finished the roasting sans paper bag, All her company raved about the smoked turkeey and where did she get it . I ate potatoes and stuffing and pie

10:51 am

SeaSpray

10:52 am

crosshair

cute story bethn:))) love it..smoked turkey

10:52 am

bethn

My oven died this week ( my dryer died 3 weeks ago, and the hot water heater last month and the fridge 3 months ago) thankfully it was this week andnot the night before thanksgiving

10:52 am

crosshair

wow bethn!!..give it another month and everything in the house will be new

10:52 am

Nef

OOOH! We've done that one, crossy! The neck and gizzard were stuffed so far in that we couldn't see them! (But they were in a papery-type of bag; so when we found them we just removed that and went on from there. It wasn't a "complete" bird)

10:53 am

SeaSpray

Wow beth...talk about a streak of bad luck

10:53 am

bethn

yeah crossy isnt it funny how those plastic bags the gizzards come in look after several hours in the oven

10:54 am

Nef

beth, with all thenew appliances, you should be set for another 20 years!

10:54 am

bethn

everything is at that age when they start to go, thankfully we were able to have dryer, oven , and fridge repairedfor a fraction of replacement costs - otherwise i would be using clothesline and ice

10:55 am

bethn

and the microwave/convection oven for cooking

10:55 am

rururocks

I'm ready for two new ovens

10:56 am

crosshair

crossy wants an aga stove...the companion model

10:56 am

SeaSpray

I can't imagine some of the stupid questions the butterball hot line gets

10:56 am

bethn

no hope for the hotwater heater though, went downstairs and was greeted with a small lake in lowerr level

10:56 am

bethn

what kind ruru, gas or elec?

10:56 am

rururocks

mine are electric.. they could use upgrading

10:57 am

bethn

i have not got the room for an aga i have a cooktop gas stove and walll oven

10:57 am

rururocks

We need to redo the kitchen but don't want to spend the $ nor have the mess and loss of kitchen for months

10:58 am

bethn

I grew up with elec, but have had gas appliances for 30 years , when i go home to mom it is hard to adjust to elec again

10:58 am

bethn

you can go broke redoing the kitchen with new everything

10:58 am

crosshair

the aga companion model is the size of a dishwasher and you can have combos of gas/electric even wood on custom orders.mine would be gas stove top and the twin electric ovens

10:59 am

bethn

why elec oven? for convection?

11:00 am

rururocks

I have a gas stove.. I wish it were a viking or wolfe or something great

11:00 am

crosshair

well,othe continuous running gas firebrick models are very vey expensive and weigh as much as 1500 pounds and you must reinforce the floors in some cases

11:00 am

crosshair

i see some models with full gas top and 6 ovens or more!

11:00 am

crosshair

i see some models with full gas top and 6 ovens or more!

11:24 am

that's scary, sue. glad it's just ultrasounds from now.

11:25 am

uusue2

me too, the biopsy isn't a big deal but it did knock me out for the rest of the day

11:25 am

stidmama

yes, a lot of folks have been impacted by the long-term effects of new technologies. Woke up this morning wondering what modern high school chemistry students do without the asbestos pads we used to use...

11:25 am

bichon

were you awake. Scary to think of a needle approaching your neck

11:26 am

uusue2

yes, they use lidocaine or something, like what you'd have at the dentist

11:26 am

11:53 am

stidmama

I can't eat much of the pig bacon, so the turkey bacon is better than nothing.

11:53 am

JBV

hi stid!

11:53 am

JBV

have you been teaching?

11:54 am

stidmama

since nothing can be done at this point, I would think that is good advice, but maybe let her know before she gets on the plane to come home...

12:23 pm

lbdawger

had the best sushi whilst in Denver! The head sushi chef "performed" for us. He was awesome and the sushi...to die for! so fresh and delightful!

12:24 pm

Nef

we love sushi too. Both DH and our son make it at least once a week

12:24 pm

stidmama

I like sitting at the "bar" at our fav sushi place. The chef is always happy to discuss technique with me, especially once he learns that we make sushi at home.

12:24 pm

stidmama

although we haven't for a couple years because I was in school...

12:26 pm

lbdawger

This gentleman is an immigrant from Japan. he was on the pro-golf tour for a while then decided he'd make more money as a sushi chef! he really knows his trade. Use to be a professional fisherman too, so he knows fish.

12:27 pm

stidmama

okay, A words, begging for fish so I feel at least one thing went right today... I have AN 4 egyptian symbol, an 4 "against," an 6 flower part, an 5 and plural; ar 4 boats and ar 4 bottom... what am I missing?

12:29 pm

lbdawger

Mummy, add a consonant to the end of the th5

12:29 pm

stidmama

mummy, it's like a large shrimp, th instead of a p

12:30 pm

stidmama

oh, maybe they don't call those large crustaceans that in the UK...

12:30 pm

mummy

thank you stid, Fireworks !!!!

12:31 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo mummy!!

12:32 pm

stidmama

YAY mummy!!!

12:32 pm

stidmama

and I looked up the shrimp word on wikipedia, which says it's used MORE in the UK than in the US

12:33 pm

lbdawger

i was going to say, i think the large shrimp word is quite common in the UK

12:33 pm

stidmama

Love learning more about our language. Also, those critters are decapods! Love learning more about science, too.

12:33 pm

mummy

yes, that's right, we do not use the word shrimp much

12:33 pm

lbdawger

large shrimp...what an oxymoron!

12:34 pm

stidmama

anyway, I guess I should go dive into the horrible week of parenting again. I am NOT enjoying playing the "heavy" again.

12:34 pm

Three months after Charlie Chaplin died his corpse was stolen by two Swiss mechanics in order to extort money from the family. The robbers were captured and Chaplin’s body was found eleven weeks later. To prevent further attempts, he was reburied under concrete.

12:51 pm

hego

Another?

12:52 pm

Nef

bye, crossy. HAGD!

12:53 pm

hego

Poor family! Gosh

12:56 pm

Nef

I have a long story about 2 towns fighting over the remains of their founder and stealing the remains; but won't go into the details. Finally one town buried the person and poured concrete over a large area that includes the remains!

12:57 pm

hego

Sick!

12:57 pm

Nef

(it's my hometown and 1 in another state, btw. *My* hometown now has the remains

12:59 pm

hego

Yay! your team won. ( I think)

12:59 pm

Nef

Actually, hego; it's pretty funny. The guy had (at least) 2 families, was a voyageur backin the 19th century, and is now a little bit famous.

1:00 pm

hego

Oh, one of those.

1:02 pm

Nef

The body snatching happened after he was basically a skeleton and before he became sort of famous. (there are streets and parts of Minneapolis/St. Paul named after him now. He'd been buried in my home town first; the other town (which is named after him) came and took the body of their namesake without asking

1:03 pm

hego

Hard to believe

1:03 pm

Nef

but I did say I wouldn't go into it! LOL! :-)

1:03 pm

hego

: )

1:06 pm

hego

Yay! Done!

1:06 pm

Nef

I have 3 EA words from that right E; could I have a hint for the 4th word please?

1:06 pm

Nef

YAY, hego!!! WTG!!

1:07 pm

1:12 pm

lbdawger

1:12 pm

hego

I be wary of his opinion

1:12 pm

lbdawger

a lady in the store was buying some and she said it was a nice dessert wine. we'll see.

I am done! I have fireworks! an6/21 was my last word

2:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Excellent work.

2:59 pm

negativeneil

It's patchouli-scented. You might not want to.

2:59 pm

Minveryork

I'll be in&out for rest of the day to help clue if needed

2:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My signature scent is Ben-gay.

2:59 pm

negativeneil

WTG, Min!

3:00 pm

negativeneil

Wonderful, Kaplan.

Kaplan the Magne

3:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My hairdresser was giving me way TMI about why she is divorcing her husband of 5 years.

3:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't want to know how often they were- or weren't- having sex.

3:02 pm

negativeneil

Ummm, no.

3:02 pm

negativeneil

Why do people do that?

3:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Because she thinks I am her friend.

3:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Because I she cuts my hair and we discuss the tabloids, I guess.

3:03 pm

negativeneil

I don't talk about private affairs of that nature with my friends, geez. Some things just aren't discussion material. That should be between you and your partner... and stay there.

3:03 pm

negativeneil

Oh, tabloids... great.

3:04 pm

bichon

I talk about kids and grandkids with the woman who cuts my hair. She's a very conservative lady

3:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't want to know about the guy she met in a bar. None of it.

3:04 pm

negativeneil

No kidding.

3:04 pm

negativeneil

Besides the fact that there have to be 100s of better, more interesting things to talk about.

3:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The tabloids are cheap haircut entertainment. Us, InTouch- keep it in the magazine. Just cut my hair and talk about movies!

3:05 pm

negativeneil

I guess.

3:05 pm

LeslieAnn

i always feel bad when I don't want to talk to a hairdresser. i just want to zone out and have them tap me on the shoulder when i'm done

3:05 pm

bichon

I left a hair stylist once because she was so vacuous

3:06 pm

negativeneil

Yep LeslieAnn, pretty much.

3:07 pm

bichon

I like chatting while I have my hair cut. She makes me tea.

3:07 pm

negativeneil

Oh cool... you foster dogs huh, Leslie? My stepmom does that for a cat rescue.

3:07 pm

negativeneil

Nice, bichon.

3:08 pm

LeslieAnn

i do. not too many lately, because my cat has been sick (getting better.) but we've adopted out about 20-25 in the 3 years we've been doing it

3:08 pm

negativeneil

Wow... that's great.

3:08 pm

LeslieAnn

i think as a general rule dogs get adopted out quicker than cats do

3:09 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah?

3:09 pm

negativeneil

I can't even have a cat... allergic.

3:10 pm

LeslieAnn

i think dogs have personalities that endear people to them. sometimes you don't know if a cat cares or not. ;)

3:10 pm

bichon

how many ra's are there> I have 6

3:10 pm

negativeneil

I have house and pet-sat for my dad and stepmom occasionally, but I take allergy meds just to handle it. Wouldn't wanna do that all the time.

3:10 pm

negativeneil

Haha! We're just a resource to a cat... you know that.

3:11 pm

Soodle

<---- remembering the time I got engrossed in a magazine at the hairdressers. By the time I looked up, I was almost bald as a coot. (slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean....:-))

3:11 pm

dianedecoder

there are 6 bichon

3:11 pm

negativeneil

There are 6 of them, bichon.

3:11 pm

LeslieAnn

3:11 pm

bichon

Soodle, you're back!

Soodle, how was your trip?

3:17 pm

Soodle

Still trippin' (so to speak) Bichon. Am babbling from an hotel balcony in Lanzarote. Weather is lovely :-)

3:18 pm

bichon

I bet it's lovely. How long have you been there?

3:18 pm

ivesy3

was babble off earlier? or was it just my computer from work?

3:18 pm

negativeneil

No clue, ivesy3.

3:21 pm

I've decided to do that.

and the red boxes are here agin

3:22 pm

Minveryork

Hello ivesy3! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

3:22 pm

negativeneil

Ugh. I don't have those... which browser are you using, ivesy3?

3:23 pm

negativeneil

I'm actually in Google Chrome right now. I don't have any problems with it since I had to get my hard drive wiped clean and Windows reinstalled recently.

3:24 pm

negativeneil

Too many Windows' errors... think that was causing the problem, and other ones I had on this computer.

3:25 pm

JenMO16

hi everyone

3:25 pm

Minveryork

Neil, does Google Instant work for you on Chrome?

3:25 pm

negativeneil

What is "Google Instant", Min? Never heard of it.

3:25 pm

Minveryork

Hi JenMO16! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

3:25 pm

JenMO16

hey min

3:25 pm

negativeneil

Do you mean the "Google Talk" messenger?

3:25 pm

bichon

I haven't heard of it either

3:26 pm

negativeneil

If so I don't use the one built into Gmail, I have the stand-alone program. But yes, the one built into Gmail does work for me in Chrome... I have used it once or twice.

3:26 pm

negativeneil

You're on Google too are you? Do you use G+?

3:27 pm

bichon

I don't really use Google+, but I am on it

3:27 pm

bichon

My son works for Google and I have to try everything

3:27 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah? We have a network on there with several Babblers already in it.

3:28 pm

JenMO16

does anyone have a ca6/33 on their mouth?

3:28 pm

Minveryork

Google instant is when you start typing something in Google, it finishes what you are typing for you.Now I get a message saying "Google Instant is unavailable".

3:28 pm

negativeneil

If you have Gmail with the same username as your Babble name, Min, check it.

3:28 pm

bichon

Okay, I see Min

3:28 pm

negativeneil

Oh weird... I've never see that, Min?

3:28 pm

negativeneil

Do you want an invitation bichon?

3:29 pm

negativeneil

And no Jen, I don't, fortunately.

3:29 pm

negativeneil

Nice name you have though... it's my g/f's name.

3:29 pm

bichon

An invitation for what Neil?

3:29 pm

Minveryork

My email is through yahoo. I use chrome to research things.Use IE to Babble.For some reason Google does not work for me on IE. Think my Explorer has a virus.

3:30 pm

negativeneil

Well a lot of things don't work in IE, Min. That's why most of us use Firefox or Chrome.

3:30 pm

negativeneil

Oh, for our network on Google+ bichon. There are several Babblers in there already.

3:31 pm

bichon

okay, send me an invitation

3:31 pm

negativeneil

I use Chrome for almost everything, Min. I was using Firefox all the time but I like the shortcut bar Chrome has.

3:31 pm

negativeneil

I need to know your Gmail address to do that, bichon?

3:32 pm

Minveryork

Neil, I watched a movie last nite that had an actor in it that looked alot like U(I know it wasn't you though)

3:32 pm

bichon

Yes, I like Chrome, but sometimes when I do an Acrostic on Java, it truncates it. Then I used Firefox

3:32 pm

negativeneil

I use that shortcut bar all the time to get to my most frequently-accessed websites.

3:32 pm

negativeneil

Couldn't have been me, Min... I'm not an actor.

3:32 pm

bichon

muffinbiscuit@gmail.com

3:33 pm

negativeneil

Although I did get a bit part in a TV series as a teenager. Very small bit... and I was given no credit for it! Neither was the other kid appearing with me though... or my mom, who was also in it!

3:33 pm

Minveryork

It must have been your twin. They say everyone has a twin out there somewhere.I don't believe it though.

3:33 pm

negativeneil

Haha! He has my sympathy.

3:34 pm

Minveryork

Wow, that's cool Neil! Do you get royalties from show

3:34 pm

negativeneil

Check the Oct. 26 update in my Babble profile, Min, and watch the video clip I've linked to there.

3:34 pm

negativeneil

Then see if you still think so?

3:34 pm

negativeneil

No, Min... just payment.

3:35 pm

bichon

finished, finally

3:35 pm

negativeneil

And btw Min... OMGPOP. I've added you on there but you haven't accepted and added me back? Would be great to have a Letterblox duel sometime.

3:35 pm

negativeneil

I have them with featherbee sometimes.

3:36 pm

negativeneil

Congrats, bichon... and check your Gmail.

3:36 pm

negativeneil

I sent the invitation.

3:36 pm

negativeneil

Oh and who else? Pinikula and m9f9l... we've played that on there too.

3:36 pm

negativeneil

And dcseain of course... can't forget him.

3:36 pm

negativeneil

3:39 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations bichon on fireworks! Hooray for you!

3:40 pm

Minveryork

I don't play letterblox enough to befriend people, but thank you for the invitation anyway.I'm not too good

3:41 pm

negativeneil

Aww.That doesn't matter to me, Min. There are other games on there you might enjoy. Swapples is very addictive, I find.

3:42 pm

Rocky

I think I just finished, but there weren't any fireworks. Aren't there 132 words today?

3:42 pm

negativeneil

There are, Rocky.

3:43 pm

Rocky

I've never finished before, but I heard there would be fireworks :(

3:43 pm

negativeneil

Are all of the Tile Stats black?

3:43 pm

negativeneil

Yes, there should be!

3:43 pm

negativeneil

And congrats on finishing!

3:43 pm

Rocky

what do you mean by tile stats?

3:43 pm

Rocky

My word list is all filled in

3:43 pm

Rocky

Do I have to be a pro user to get fireworks?

3:44 pm

negativeneil

Oh, of course!

3:44 pm

negativeneil

You have a free account, so you can't see the tile stats.

3:44 pm

Rocky

That's a bummer about the fireworks then. How anti-climactic.

3:44 pm

negativeneil

You can only see those in the first 2 weeks after you join... to continue seeing the tile and word stats [which I use all the time when doing the grids] you have to buy a membership.

3:44 pm

negativeneil

But it's very cheap and a one-time fee.

3:45 pm

Rocky

thanks for the info.

3:45 pm

negativeneil

Yeah. You have to upgrade to a paid membership to see those. It's just under $15 US and only a one-time fee.

3:45 pm

negativeneil

Well worth it for what you get.

3:45 pm

negativeneil

You're welcome.

Although there aren't too many pe5/20 of being a teacher, one huge pe 4/9 is you get summers off.My en5/14 into the world of teaching was in 1998 I would ra 4/8 teaching profession as one of the best ones out th5/12.

You should have seen it before they cleaned though! I was shocked by the filth!

4:51 pm

the place we live in now is absolutely revolting in my opinion (dirty), but my standard is different to others.

4:51 pm

chic

No I'm not home. I'm in the rehab place getting stronger.it will still be quite awhile before going home.

4:51 pm

negativeneil

GOP = "Grand Old Party" or our Republican Party.

4:52 pm

negativeneil

Details are in the latest update on profile.

4:53 pm

the work men who were repairing the building were using Aunty's unit to store supplies and used her bathrooms. Besides the fire damage, they were really a bunch of slobs

4:53 pm

Minveryork

Oh no chic, what happened? Why are you in a rehab?

4:53 pm

mrpresident

neil, if I had a working humurus, I would be scrubbing like a demon, but after yesterday and the 6 rooms of wall scrubbing, it feels like the implant screws have pulled! ouch

4:54 pm

Nef

chic, what happened to you?

4:55 pm

mrpresident

4:57 pm

It was a bad one and my ankle is fused now. My weight is big factor in my mobility recovery.

4:57 pm

negativeneil

Oh no, mrp?! :( Please enlist help... there must be some available to you?

4:57 pm

Minveryork

A bottle of wine maybe?That's always good for a party

4:57 pm

I was actually going to suggest a bottle of something, Nef... although that could be perceived as a 'gift'.

5:01 pm

Wine is never a 'gift' per se.... more of a 'enjoy'

Dad's checking this out btw. He's a word nerd too.

5:02 pm

hello neil's dad :))

Good to know, mrp. DH and I were wondering about that earlier

5:04 pm

uusue2

oh, there you are, nef!

5:05 pm

Nef

hi sue! What's up?

5:05 pm

uusue2

I have a friend who is turning 70 next week, doesn't want gifts, so we are all bringing 70 of something

5:05 pm

uusue2

I was thinking crayons :-)

5:05 pm

periwinkle

I need an6/18 pls

5:06 pm

Nef

Oh, my! That would be a gas! However; this is my co-worker from my last job and she doesn't have a good sense of humor

5:06 pm

Minveryork

Oh cool!70 of something though is alot of somethings.

5:06 pm

uusue2

or tootsie rolls, or something - seemed like a cute idea

5:06 pm

Minveryork

an 6/18 word is plural of the an 5/10 word periwinkle

5:06 pm

uusue2

oh well :-) it was a thought

5:07 pm

periwinkle

due, ty Min

5:07 pm

Nef

I don't know if she likes candy; when I first read your post I immediately thought of jelly beans

5:07 pm

Minveryork

yw

5:07 pm

uusue2

it would have to be 70 small things, which is why I was thinking crayons, min :-)

5:08 pm

uusue2

or you could just get her a really nice card - sometimes I make people cards on my computer, then I can personalize them

5:10 pm

Nef

my printer died and my computer needs a newer operating system before I can use DH's printer. His computer is way too slow for me. But I di have a nice card for her

5:10 pm

Minveryork

I can think of a lot of 70 small objects: 70 pennies,70 balloons, 70 pencils, 70 stickers, 70 paper clips, etc.

5:11 pm

Nef

Great ideas, Min! :-) I might just do the pennies and paper clips!

5:53 pm

uusue2

and I'm glad you're doing it, because it needs to be done, but I have been avoiding the debates as I get all riled up

5:55 pm

IndiaJan

speaking as an outsider looking in...i dont see anyone running for the republican party that has the smarts o take on Pres Obama

5:55 pm

uusue2

hi, india, I certainly hope not!

5:56 pm

IndiaJan

they are makingnit easy on him

5:57 pm

5:57 pm

6:00 pm

negativeneil

I wouldn't blame you there, Sue. And oh, you won't miss it... I'll be recording it this time, btw. ;)

6:01 pm

uusue2

where will the recording be? (Not that I will want to watch it, of course :-)

6:02 pm

VermontMeow

Neg Neil, are being paid to record it? Or are you hoping for entertainment. You must have a strong stomach.

6:03 pm

uusue2

btw, when I go to the video page on your web site, an ad for Herman Cain comes up :-)

6:03 pm

uusue2

hi, vermont! How are you?

6:04 pm

VermontMeow

Hi uusue - Doing pretty good today. How about you?

6:07 pm

Minveryork

Hello VermontMeow!How are you?Welcome to the grid

6:08 pm

uusue2

I am ok, vermont, recording exam grades for my students (so I guess I am doing better than they are!)

6:09 pm

uusue2

I must say I do not understand people who stop showing up to class (especially for exams). Wouldn't it be better to get at least some points, rather than no points at all?

6:10 pm

IndiaJan

hey Vermont :)

6:11 pm

IndiaJan

better to fail because you didnt go then fail after going

6:11 pm

Minveryork

Hi IndiaJan! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

6:12 pm

uusue2

I guess...still seems odd, though

6:12 pm

IndiaJan

doing great thanks Min

6:12 pm

VermontMeow

Hi Minveryork and India

6:12 pm

Minveryork

I am well Vermont.Cleaned up my back and front yard

6:12 pm

uusue2

nice, min!

6:12 pm

IndiaJan

if i was paying..i would get my money's worth by attending

6:13 pm

VermontMeow

You and me too, india. I once signed up for a college class I just could not learn. I just about killed me to waste the $$.

6:13 pm

uusue2

that's what I wonder about, india - someone is paying the tuition for these kids (well, they're adults, really) and is going to have to pay it again if they have to retake the class

6:14 pm

negativeneil

Not being paid, no.

6:15 pm

negativeneil

And I have no control over those ads, unfortunately! They pay for the site... so I don't have to.

6:15 pm

negativeneil

And that takes the cake for irony. Ugh. :P

6:15 pm

uusue2

of course, my son is retaking a class right now, sigh - in physics, no less!!

6:15 pm

uusue2

I know you don't, neil, I just found it ironic

6:15 pm

negativeneil

That ad might be there, but what I have to say about him in the commentary won't be favorable, lol.

6:16 pm

negativeneil

Yep Sue, totally.

6:17 pm

Minveryork

I just kicked butt in Letterblox so now what can I do?

6:17 pm

VermontMeow

What is letterblox?

6:18 pm

Minveryork

Hubby is trying to get me addicted to FB games,but I will not get sucked into any more games. I swear to it

6:18 pm

Letterblox is another word game.You have a certain amount of time to find words with letter tiles.It's fun.

6:19 pm

uusue2

yes, my older students who are on their own dime are much more dedicated, india

6:20 pm

I used to play boggle in person with my sister in law a lot. When we were bratty we would rattle the box really loud when the guys were watching football. Bad!

6:28 pm

6:33 pm

Minveryork

I haven't seen rururocks here all day today kje,sorry

6:33 pm

VermontMeow

I find having a chat on this game distracting. I start to write things and forget to finish because I think of a word and VV.

6:33 pm

kje

no prob... just out in SF and was going to ask him about food recs

6:34 pm

Minveryork

Just checked members online and rururocks is not on

6:34 pm

uusue2

it is a little distracting, vermont, but it is my favorite part of the game :-)

6:35 pm

Minveryork

What are U doing in San Francsico kje. Hope it's nice.

6:35 pm

kje

visiting friends

6:35 pm

Minveryork

This game would not be the same without the chat log

6:35 pm

uusue2

but there are certainly people who just play and never, or hardly ever, chat

6:36 pm

kje

i love the chog... played about a month before i joined it, but was forced into the chog when lickety went down once years ago and i needed clues

6:36 pm

Minveryork

In fact, I probably would not even play this game if it had no chat log. WordTwist also has a chog, but it is not like this one and I do not participate in that one.

6:37 pm

uusue2

I find the people here to be very special <3

6:37 pm

Minveryork

I dove into the chat log as soon as I started playing.I am usually a shy people and don't talk to strangers.It is much easier to do though when you are on a laptop

6:38 pm

Minveryork

*shy PERSON

6:38 pm

I play Jigidi a lot and we have a Yahoo group forum, but they are on two different websites.

8:48 pm

carleekat

we have them here...

8:48 pm

herinfernallady

We have refil shops not sure of the cost we also have no name brand ink. Though I believe and feel that with that option you are better to use the brand cartridge, then no name brand and so on

8:48 pm

Minveryork

Used to be able to bring old ink cartridges to Staples and get discount on next ink cartridge, not anymore.

8:48 pm

carleekat

8:56 pm

herinfernallady

No Sudoku is quiet and it is the same

8:56 pm

herinfernallady

I ahve never had a problem

8:57 pm

Minveryork

Saw a couple of babblers in the chat log at Sudoku too

8:58 pm

herinfernallady

I have a membership there

9:00 pm

crosshair

babble and garden of time on facebook are more than enough for me,not to metion spending my like orinizing and formatting e-books for my friends

9:00 pm

crosshair

life

9:00 pm

herinfernallady

I am trying to read a Stephen King tome

9:04 pm

crosshair

next on my list is full dark no stars

9:04 pm

crosshair

what one you reading herin?

9:04 pm

herinfernallady

i am reading Under the Dome. That book is huge

9:04 pm

crosshair

under the dome was ok,a good read,but far from his best

9:04 pm

herinfernallady

I have just started

9:05 pm

crosshair

well,like i say,it is still a good yarn

9:05 pm

herinfernallady

You know what is bugging me about the book

9:05 pm

crosshair

?

9:06 pm

herinfernallady

THere is no Sweeties Diner on the map

9:06 pm

crosshair

does it matter?

9:06 pm

herinfernallady

No but it is one of my things.

9:07 pm

crosshair

there is also no town called castle rock,but it appears in many of his books

9:08 pm

herinfernallady

Maybe he likes the sweets

9:08 pm

crosshair

some of his best stuff is in his short story collections

9:08 pm

crosshair

brb

9:22 pm

crosshair

in his skeleton crew collection the story "last rung on on the ladder" is haunting and will leave you thinking and staring into space long after the story is read..and there is not a whiff of goulies or undead,or monsters or evil humans..just a snapshot of life between a brother and sister and how the tides of life tear them apart

9:22 pm

crosshair

also in ther is 'quitters inc" and "the ledge' both very good short tales

9:23 pm

herinfernallady

I have that book on my table to read

9:23 pm

crosshair

and in four past midnight 'doulans cadiliac" is very good

9:24 pm

crosshair

well you are in for a treat

9:24 pm

herinfernallady

This is stupid I am falling asleep

9:25 pm

crosshair

well when nature calls ,we have to accept the charges

9:25 pm

herinfernallady

I have too much to do and need to keep awake

9:26 pm

crosshair

and on that note..they have found out that those who are insane enough to work a job that has a 12 hour shift schedule,sand a 62% increased chance of heart attack

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

yuk

9:27 pm

crosshair

stand*

9:28 pm

crosshair

and a good choice in authors herin,i have read mr king since day 1

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

I like The Regulators

9:28 pm

crosshair

though he got a little "soft in latter years with delores claybourne,geralds game,the girl who loved tom gordon etc

9:29 pm

crosshair

now his good stuff is cujo,it,the stand,pet semetary,etc

9:30 pm

crosshair

much of his stuff dealing with castle rock

9:30 pm

crosshair

tommyknockers was also interesting but less shocking

9:30 pm

crosshair

it was also massive and very good

9:31 pm

crosshair

shawshank redemtion was amazing

9:32 pm

herinfernallady
