negativeneil

I can't type tonight. Not at all.

12:22 am

negativeneil

So now would not be a good time for boggle!

12:22 am

cosdem

weboggle ends with .info and not.com right?

12:22 am

negativeneil

That's probably why this tiny grid took me as long as 5 minutes. I did typo at least a couple of times.

12:22 am

YadNivek

I still miss Boggle when it was on www.games.com then it changed to atari.com :( Everyone was ranked so I only played 2000+ ppl, 6 to a room and 3 min games with 1 min to review lists. It was perfect!

12:23 am

YadNivek

thenHasbro bought the online rights and RUINED it

12:23 am

negativeneil

YadNivek... check out "word racer" on Yahoo. It's a real boggle game. Very cool.

12:23 am

negativeneil

You get 4 different grids per game.

12:23 am

negativeneil

Want a link?

12:23 am

YadNivek

12:24 am

mkg

tough grid eh??????????

12:24 am

YadNivek

I've sought out every incantation and imposter there is. I have a membership to gandergames on a private server that is the closest to the good ol' one, but I lost my pw a few years ago and don't remember Gabby Goose's email

12:25 am

negativeneil

Gabby Goose?

12:25 am

12:27 am

negativeneil

I should do that. Actually I anagrammed my first and last name to come up with a totally different first and last name. Not everyone can do that!

12:28 am

Wow Seain... only 15 words?

12:54 am

Aww. Do you play any other word games online?

12:54 am

negativeneil

Sammysmom?

12:54 am

dcseain

sorry that your week has been hard, sammys

12:55 am

Christine

Sammy, do you ever make your own grid? Randomly enter the letters of a phrase into a 5x5.

12:56 am

sammysmom

i have a boggle game chris... have had it for 30 year or so.. used to play with the kids when they were little

12:56 am

negativeneil

How and where can you do that, Christine?

12:56 am

dcseain

oh, there's an idea that never occurred to me. What a great way to pass time, christine

12:57 am

negativeneil

I did the grid in the Babble cake on jilli's Flicker page once, lol! Posted my list in a comment under it.

12:57 am

Christine

Before I found Babble, that's what I did - well, it's that or clean the house, so ...

12:57 am

negativeneil

Yeah. Anything to avoid cleaning the house! ;)

12:58 am

negativeneil

Man, I love avoiding housework!

12:58 am

Christine

Neil, I just drew the grid on scratch paper - no way to knpow how many words in there.

12:58 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok.

12:58 am

negativeneil

There are so many good games online though.

12:58 am

dcseain

i like cleaning the kitchen and the bathrooms.

12:58 am

dcseain

i vacuum and dust only because i must.

12:58 am

negativeneil

Like "Letterblox" and pool here:
http://www.omgpop.com/?r=6vz38

12:58 am

Christine

When I retired, I found the two things I was really good at, lying on the couch, and reading all day. I don't know how people find time to go to work.

12:59 am

negativeneil

That site has me totally addicted.

12:59 am

Christine

Well, if the bed's made,there'

12:59 am

negativeneil

I know, Christine... I love doing both.

12:59 am

negativeneil

If I could get paid for reading all day, I'd be happy. Actually I have applied for a proof-reading job!

1:00 am

Christine

Well, if the bed's made, the dishes done, and the dust isn't yet deep enough to plant potatoes, you're okay.

1:00 am

negativeneil

Haha! Nah. Can't let too much dust settle here.

1:00 am

negativeneil

Allergies.

1:00 am

dcseain

the pines have begun to pollinate here

1:01 am

negativeneil

Oh?

1:01 am

dcseain

yep.

1:01 am

negativeneil

Wow Christine... we're in the same city!

1:01 am

dcseain

many other trees have started to bud, and the weeping willows along the Potomac are greening

1:03 am

dcseain

is a new ipad due out? Woot has 64GB 3G+wifi for 459.

1:04 am

negativeneil

No idea Seain. I'm not an owner and don't keep up on those things... my bro is though. Ask him? He loves his iPad. And iPhone.

1:04 am

negativeneil

I use a Motorolla DroidX phone myself.

1:05 am

dcseain

i have iphone and macbook. plan to acquire ipad, as it makes showing listings to clients easier.

1:05 am

negativeneil

Yeah. They're pretty cool.

1:05 am

negativeneil

He reads a lot of books on his.

1:06 am

dcseain

i'm meh with droid based on my experiences with it, and what i've seen of droid pads has underwhelmed me thus far. I have found droid and iOS to be complementary rather than competitive, though.

1:06 am

dcseain

yeah, it's great for reading.

1:06 am

dcseain

i read books on my phone a good bit.

1:06 am

dcseain

though i still love my paper ones

1:06 am

dcseain

and look forward to growing my large collection of hardbound first editions again.

1:08 am

negativeneil

Well I like it... it's enough for me.

1:08 am

negativeneil

And it has a really good camera in it for a phone.

1:09 am

dcseain

oh, not saying droid is bad, it's not :) and my exposer to droid tablets thus far is 1 total, and i don't know at what level, and i know with droid, you get what you pay for it seems.

1:10 am

dcseain

hah, cute pair of A words

1:11 am

negativeneil

Yeah, similar!

1:12 am

negativeneil

Ok well, I'm off... take care and see you later.

1:12 am

Hi All

We will have lots of time today.

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

good that we have lots of extra time today -- have a dog who had surgery yeaterday who's recuperating at home AND I have a 200 mile rescue dog transport this afternoon!

9:38 am

What happened to your dog?

9:38 am

howdy une

9:39 am

hego

Hi Une

9:39 am

Uneaixoise

she's my sweetie who was a stray a long time before I adopted her . . . she needed to have a recurring cyst removed and needed dental work -- poor girl had several teeth that had broken off long ago and healed willy nilly -- vet did great job and Momma's a real trooper!

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Yay for doggie. Is she comfortable and happy today?

9:40 am

Uneaixoise

howdy, all :-)

9:40 am

: )

9:40 am

Uneaixoise

yes, she has good pain meds and a good appetite -- scarfed up beef bouillon and softened kibble :-)

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

how's your new bunny doing, scrabs??

9:41 am

hego

so good of you to do all this for her.

9:42 am

Uneaixoise

oh, hego, she's such a sweet dog -- all 3 of my rescue girls give so much to ME! :-)

9:43 am

hego

Awwww

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Rather skittish--not easy to catch in the room. But I am trying to pet and hold him a few times daily so he can get used to that. I left him out of cage overnight and loose in his room. Last evening I added 2 more litter boxes to his room (1 is in cage, 2 in room) to encourage box use when not in cage.

9:44 am

hego

He'll settle in Scrabs

9:44 am

Scrabbler

I have seen him stretched out on his belly, with back feet outstretched, a few times, so that means he is happy.

9:44 am

Uneaixoise

i know nothing about bunny care but I assume all of that is just part of the socialization/behavioral process, right?

9:44 am

Uneaixoise

oooohhhh, how cute!!!

9:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, he needs time to adjust. And he really is so cute because he is brown but has white paws. It looks like he has white boots and mittens on.

9:46 am

hego

I saw his pic on FB. Very cute.

9:47 am

Scrabbler

I have had laryngitis since yesterday so my raspy, squeaky voice scares the bunnies.

10:46 am

stidmama

mild "vent" moment -- stidkid who was staying away from home all week (it was a lot quieter around here) came home last night. Made arrangements to work at grandparents' today. FORGOT that he has to get himself over there in the next 45 minutes. I am NOT driving him! My foot hurts and I am nowhere near ready to leave the house. *sigh* It's going to be a cold, but hopefully pleasant bike ride. Frost on the ground, but very beautiful sunlight.

10:47 am

uusue2

morning, all!

10:48 am

mcurlschool

well ya know stid; maybe he'll use the quiet time to think (we can hope anyway)!

10:48 am

uusue2

sorry to hear about stidkid, mama! having issues with my own at the moment

10:49 am

mcurlschool

even though I still worry about my guy (he's 26) I am thankful he's not a teenager still!!

my oldest was the hardest which then made the other two a complete breeze......but do love being "empty nesters"!

10:53 am

MollyL

Oh crap Sue, you didn't need that right now.

10:53 am

uusue2

don't know what I am going to do

10:56 am

uusue2

but right now I have to go to work, guess I will be walking

10:56 am

stidmama

sue, I am so sorry about that, hope your son is okay?

10:58 am

stidmama

I am looking forward to being an empty nester... sorry I stepped away, Matthew was complaining that he was going to be late because I didn't remind him earlier in the day. My opinion is that he not only had forgotten that he needed to get himself there, but that he had forgotten he made a commitment. *sigh* Eventually I suppose he will get things figured out to the point where he doesn't need someone actually telling him to a) get up, b) get ready and c) get out the door. Maybe.

10:58 am

uusue2

no injuries as far as I know but they both drove away so the other guy could claim anything

10:58 am

uusue2

but now i really must go

10:59 am

11:01 am

MollyL

Stid, the less you do for him, the more he will figure things out on his own. Or not, but then it becomes his problem.

11:01 am

stidmama

I am going to be in the Saturday webinar "room" for a while... today's topic is on how to use Evernote -- which I have loaded on my computer but haven't actually figured out how (or why) to use. *sigh*

11:02 am

stidmama

Maybe Molly -- he has some hidden disabilities that make that not necessarily true. On the other hand, he is so angry most of the time that I am taking a break from managing him in the hope that he will find someone else or something else that can help him.

11:06 am

mcurlschool

((((((hugs))))) stid; thinking, thinking, thinking.......wishing I could find a plan that would encourage his self-reliance.......thinking, thinking...

11:12 am

stidmama

YAY Kaplan!

11:13 am

stidmama

Molly, he doesn't have obvious deformations or slowness that allows people around him to realize he needs assistance with what are sometimes basic tasks. He also is highly intelligent, which masks some of the difficulties until he has fallen so far behind that it is very difficult to catch up.

11:15 am

stidmama

If someone who knows what to look for observes him for a while, they can see the tell-tale signs of cerebral palsy, which is only one of his issues. But he learned early on to adapt and now appears merely "awkward" in his gestures and handwriting although fine motor performance is taxing for him.

11:15 am

stidmama

back to my webinar.

11:22 am

for those who wish it i can offer my babble buddies the following books in e-pub or pdf formats: silence of the lambs and Clive barkers books of blood series volumes 1-6 just e-mail me and i will share:)

11:39 am

MollyL

Stid (if you are still around) most kids with disabilities can manage simple life skills, like getting up on time and being ready to go somewhere. Unless the disabilities are severe.

11:40 am

MollyL

My son has learning disabilities and his special ed teacher is constantly telling the kids in the class not to define themselves by their disabilities.

11:49 am

stidmama

Nevermind, Molly. It's really not as simple as that, but I don't have the energy to explain. Maybe another time. *poof*

11:53 am

MollyL

Okay, sorry for the input.

11:53 am

Wow, it's rough in here these days. I'll duck out too.

Minveryork

I've pa 6/24 myself on the back for finishing another grid. Now here's a story. One day the neighbor's Pitt Bull, that acts like a fi5/18, tried to go after my dog. He fa 4/7ed to reach my dog,Jack,but my hubby was li5/18 when that happened. Neighbor's dog could end my dog's li4/7 in a second. My dog wouldn't be able to defe4/8 himself against the dog. Now husband wants to put a fe5/18 around the yard.Hubby has wanted a fe6/33 in backyard for awhile now. I told my husband that would not su 4/8 because the Pit Bull could jump over the fe5/18. I told my hubby we could not afford to get one. I recome4/6ed that he sell his fi4/7, that he pa 4/6 a lot for. We could use the money from the car to get a fe 5/18. Hubby wants his wi4/11 to give him the computer.I am going to go watch the film "Of Mi 4/6 and Men".I did not em5/14 this story so there might be some mistakes.I will be back later on tonight

4:45 pm

... by the way ... has anyone heard from ruby? ... how did yesterday end up for her? Is DH okay? Is she okay?

4:46 pm

Soodle

Oh no. What happened with Rubys DH?

4:46 pm

doseffing

... This was yesterday morning your time ... he was having some difficulty with pain and ruby was really upset because the docter wouldn't show up

4:47 pm

doseffing

... but she was on for a few minutes this morning before anyone else ... did the grid ... and was coherent in her typing ... (which she wasn't yesterday) ... so my guess is everything worked out okay ... but I don't know

4:48 pm

Soodle

Oh no. I will call her in the morning. Poor Rubes

4:48 pm

Soodle

<---- Loves Ruby.

4:48 pm

doseffing

... If you do ... please pass along my best wishes

4:49 pm

Soodle

I sure will, Dos.

4:49 pm

doseffing

... FOr me it's her name ... ... as a little kid I lived around the corner from a famous Montreal Mafia hangout named RubyFoo's ... so I notice her name

4:50 pm

doseffing

... besides ... who else can give me the latest inside stuff on Le Tour? ...

4:51 pm

Soodle

Oooh.... Now we're hearing about Dos's mis-spent youth..... More, Please........

4:51 pm

MollyL

I really wish Ruby had checked in today. I've been concerned about her and her husband.

4:52 pm

doseffing

... Oh I was only three or four ... there was a mass arrest of Mafia types there ... ... in 2005 my older daughter enrolled at McGill University in Montreal ... and the frosh were taken on a trip around Montreal which ended up having dinner at RubyFoo's

4:52 pm

Soodle

Molly, I will call her first thing in the morning, and report back.

4:53 pm

doseffing

... When I told my then 82 year old mother this ... she insisted that we jump in the car ... drive the six hours to Montreal and bring her grandchild home before she got herself shot

4:53 pm

MollyL

Thanks Soodle. I'm sure she had plenty on her mind.

4:53 pm

Soodle

3 years old, and hanging around Mafia types. I am WELL impressed!

4:55 pm

doseffing

... hey ... there was a big cemetary there ... one Protestant ... One Catholic ... and it's right on the boundary between then English West Montreal and French Outremont (I think) ... convenient for eveyone

4:56 pm

doseffing

... and the race track was just across Decarie Boulevard

4:58 pm

doseffing

... and St. Joseph's Oratory with all it's saintly relics ... ... so you could sin ... get rid of the evidence ... and go get absolution all within a ten minute walk

4:59 pm

Soodle

Not trying to outdo Crossy and his Fact of the Day, but I learned yesterday that suicide has been decriminalised in this country recently! Up til then suicide victims were not allowed to be buried on 'hallowed'' ground, and insurance companies didn't have to pay out on life insurance, as nobody is supposed to gain financially from criminal acticity. thanks be to goodness thats all been changed.

5:00 pm

Soodle

Doseffing.... sounds like a One Stop Shop!!

5:00 pm

doseffing

... someone on the radio last week also announced that it was something like the 10th anniversary of legalized divorce in Erin too

I told my hubby we could not afford to get one. I recome4/6ed that he sell his fi4/7, that he pa 4/6 a lot for. We could use the money from the car to get a fe 5/18. Hubby wants his wi4/11 to give him the computer.I am going to go watch the film "Of Mi 4/6 and Men".I did not em5/14 this story so there might be some mistakes.I will be back later on tonight

5:02 pm

Yes, Dos... we are being dragged (kicking and screaming) into the 21st century.

5:03 pm

doseffing

... better that than having American Republicans and Canadian Conservatives trying to drag us back to the 19th when everthing was good .... .... (apologies to all Romney supporters ... but not to Gingrich supporters)

5:03 pm

I'm having weird deja vous. I thought Min already posted her story.

5:04 pm

5:08 pm

Molly! How is the eyebrow arching practice going?

5:08 pm

MollyL

Or here in the US.

5:09 pm

5:12 pm

5:12 pm

5:12 pm

Minveryork

5:13 pm

The J is a middle eastern terrorist word.

5:48 pm

Minveryork

How did you piss stidmama off MollyL? And she will not be babbling anymore at all? That is too bad. I will miss her.
