1:38 am

grannyrose

well done, flosey, thick he4 and all.

1:38 am

flosey

whew, that was a doozie

1:38 am

grannyrose

oh, rbud, still at them, dear?

1:39 am

rbud

yep, lots of pressing and hemming and such, and lots of breaks, lol - life must go on

1:39 am

grannyrose

well DH and i have had a lovely day. lunch at a nearby cafe which serves delicious food and the best iced coffee.

1:40 am

flosey

lovely rose

1:40 am

grannyrose

th4 we meandered through the hills, driving along roads we have never travelled on, seen things/places we have never seen.

1:40 am

rbud

sounds delightful! I think hubs and I are overdue for a meal out, we try to do it at least once a month.

1:41 am

grannyrose

even called in at a camp DH used to visit with his church youth group. allowed him to reminisce about his younger days. was great.

1:42 am

grannyrose

i try to do this at least once a fortnight with him. it breaks him out of the rut of 24/7 care for mother mac, and lately, me.

1:44 am

grannyrose

so, rbud. just how many rooms are you refurbishing with new curtains?

1:46 am

flosey

ok, bedtime, head is shutting down, goodnight rose and rbud

1:47 am

1:47 am

grannyrose

1:47 am

flosey

ty rose

2:04 am

rbud

sorry, wandered off to the kitchen - just the new bedroom is all I'm working on, but I'm slow... my shoulder's been really bothering me, which seems aggravated by sewing and sitting at the computer, too, darnit.

2:05 am

rbud

I interfaced the curtains, and lined them, and now it's hemming time - which I have to do by hand.

2:05 am

rbud

oops, by ha4, I mean, lol

2:06 am

rbud

3 windows, 3 sets of curtains

2:09 am

grannyrose

good grief, rbud, that's an awful lot of curtains. but i bet your home will look fantastic by the time you have finished.

2:10 am

rbud

well, have one window done and hanging, they look great so far, which is encouraging.

2:12 am

rbud

got risers for the bed (those funny things that go under it to make it taller?) so now I also have to lengthen the bedskirt - but that should be a breeze after all the rest of this, lol

2:12 am

grannyrose

i'm gonna cheat this time when it comes to new curtains. lol, DH cannot understand why i want top of window to floor curtains. he sees it as a waste of effort. i see it as elegant, and makes the room appear larger.

2:13 am

rbud

I like that look myself.

Jumping out of his bath, cried, "Eureka!"

Wearing only a smile,
And became the very first streaker

3:39 am

grannyrose

yuck, crossy. can imagine. spring has started in earnest here. so DH is feeling the effects.

3:39 am

craftylady

mt astma was never very bad until I had a blood clot in my lung 4 years ago left my asthma 50 times worse than it was

3:39 am

crosshair

indeed.and to think i quit the smokes ten years ago to sound this good:((

3:39 am

crosshair

ouch crafty lady

3:40 am

grannyrose

i sympathise, crossy. and CL? what rotten luck.

3:41 am

crosshair

a clot in my fil lungs was the start of his health decline.when they went in to get it(along with a small tumour) he had a stroke on the operating table,then they has to go in again to fix some stitches

3:42 am

sprite

oh I like the biggies!

3:43 am

craftylady

no was not a good time i went in hospital on the sunday and my mum passed away on the tuesday was just out of hospital in time to go to her funeral

3:43 am

crosshair

:(((

3:44 am

sprite

oh craft, how awful :(

3:44 am

craftylady

a small part of me will always blame myself if I had not got ill would she still be here

3:44 am

grannyrose

awww, CL. that has to be the most rotten timing i have ever heard of.

3:45 am

craftylady

stupid i know

3:45 am

sarah6girls

love you mum and you was not to blame xxxxx

3:45 am

sprite

no that is not stupid. That is human :( We rather blame ourselves than that we feel powerless.

3:46 am

craftylady

love you as well i know i am not but there will always be this small doubt

3:47 am

grannyrose

not stupid, craftylady. you couldn't change the outcome, so you blame yourself. such a human response. {{{hugs}}}

3:48 am

craftylady

thanks everyone don't know whats up with me today never talked so much on here and about personal things

3:48 am

grannyrose

i was actually there in the room as my father died....to this day i wonder what i could have changed to stop him from dying.

3:48 am

sprite

it is one of the things Babble chat is made for, craftylady. Don't worry about it. We are here to let you know we care.

3:49 am

crosshair

remember the blessings.my mother passed in 91(from cancer)far from her family after an early divorce in 73 and only one was able to go to the funeral.so cherish the times you had together and remember the happy times and hold them in your heart

3:49 am

craftylady

I found my dad went to his flat before work and found him lying acroos the bed

3:49 am

sprite

rose, how awful... nothing, ofcourse. But I understand the feeling.

3:50 am

craftylady

staid

3:50 am

craftylady

sorry again

3:50 am

grannyrose

i mean, i am a registered nurse, capable of handling the most critical of situations which threaten human life....and i couldn't stop my own father from dying.

3:51 am

sprite

that must have been tough, craft

3:51 am

craftylady

see told you I am not use to talking

3:51 am

craftylady

something I think I will never get over still have nightmares about it

3:51 am

sprite

sweet rose... because it was, alas, his time to go. Even nurses aren't omnipotent...

3:52 am

scouser

morning all. Often it is as if the person dying wants to let go, wants us to go and get on with life, they've had enough and want to go but we don't or try not to let them go.

3:52 am

grannyrose

craftylady, it is wonderful for you to share...and i still have dreams about my father dying.

3:52 am

sprite

I can imagine, that is stuff for nightmares. Please keep telling yourself you are absolutely blameless. In your mind you know. Convincing your feelings is hard though :(

3:53 am

scouser

keep those who have gone in your daily thoughts, try not to make shrines, and laugh for them at your own antics.

3:53 am

grannyrose

thanx scouser and spritey. it's still tough. accepting, i mean.

3:53 am

craftylady

but I was also pleased with how I coped did not go to pieces until my sisters arrived dealt with calling 911 etc by myself

3:54 am

sprite

hi scouser, yes, that was with my grandma. We kept constant watch, she wasn't alone for a second. For days and nights, just never. And then the nurse kicked us out, told us she wanted to wash her, and my grandma died right then.

3:54 am

scouser

I have a note on my wall here: "Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused." someone on here said it many moons ago.

3:54 am

sprite

good for you, craft! Yes, that is great. You did well. And nothing you could have done would have made a difference in his dieing.

3:55 am

sprite

*hugs rose* I bet it is. Tough battle.

3:55 am

sprite

good one, scouser

3:55 am

scouser

hey well done craftylady . Any clues for the bottom F please since it wont take modern-speak for photo

4:01 am

you are doing well sarah who is off sick today

4:01 am

sprite

scouser: think warm wind

4:01 am

sarah6girls

amie had high tem and pale today :(

4:01 am

craftylady

something that swimms in water

4:01 am

scouser

ah I just got the weather-type word I can't say got the wind, can I?

4:02 am

scouser

the swimmer comes off the other f

4:02 am

craftylady

sorry

4:02 am

sprite

sure you can. The wind comes in two spellings.

4:02 am

scouser

no prob

4:02 am

sprite

and the last one is enemies

4:02 am

craftylady

enemy

4:03 am

scouser

aha Germanic thoroughness? or is it Swiss?

4:03 am

scouser

thanks

4:03 am

sprite

the wind is swiss, I think. But the spelling is german, grin.

4:04 am

scouser

see - expanding the vocab every day!

4:04 am

scouser

I lurv this game

4:05 am

sprite

same here. I still learn a new word every day and I have been playing for years!

4:06 am

scouser

Does anyone know how we can get Enable updated? there are perfectly respectable words like "henge" that it rejects (or did the last time it was (not) in the grid.)

4:07 am

sprite

we can't, scouser. Babble simply uses a rather old version of Enable. Only drG could change that. Personally I hope he won't, though. I enjoy the old words :D

4:08 am

scouser

Oh yes I just want some stuff added, keep the previous lists too, so I am not yelling at this inanimate(?) object and shouting "it IS a word".

4:09 am

sprite

lol yes that would be great! A couple of words added... like internet, for instance.

4:13 am

scouser

Just looked at my window-sill and an orchid has opened up five great spiky purply-blotchy petals with a large white "lip" (except on one of them that is at the top so its not fussy) and a small curled over bit in the middle that from underneath looks like an insect covered in pollen. Weird.

4:15 am

grannyrose

scouser, imagine, my orchids are flowering too. have a lovely pink one with a burgundy throat, and a creamy one with burgundy throat, both flowering.

4:16 am

sprite

sounds lovely

4:16 am

scouser

Last year one flowered from Christmas through to July, one of the plainer ones with purply veins on a creamy background. Just went on and on.

4:17 am

sprite

I have black thumbs, alas

4:17 am

scouser

They seem to survive the ill-treatment here quite well.

4:17 am

grannyrose

oh, i love orchids. but the weather here has not been good for them. lost 3 this last winter. :(

4:17 am

scouser

Goodness I didnt know botrytis affected humans sprite!

4:19 am

grannyrose

nearly dinner time here. have had the most marvellous time chatting with you all. see you at the flip. {{hugs}}

4:19 am

It's easy for people to create naughty ones

That's because you have class, Ruby. : )

6:05 am

rubyfoo

now I need to do one for molly

6:07 am

rubyfoo

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Gotta get ready for work. Bye kids.

6:07 am

MollyL

Shallow One

i know that youre good - ive seen the other ones

6:10 am

rubyfoo

there was an old lady named Nancy, Who lived in the outskirts of Annecy, Not smart as a whip, But well worth the trip, And some even thought pretty fancy

6:10 am

rubyfoo

(that's mispronouncing Annecy, but close enough for jazz!)

6:10 am

rubyfoo

mine don't scan as well as the dirty ones

6:11 am

smores

Hello all

6:11 am

6:12 am

rubyfoo

hi buggie -- some do, some don't

6:12 am

smores

hello Yolanda - I am speaking to you as commanded

6:13 am

rubyfoo

6:14 am

Buggie

I'm from the west

6:14 am

rubyfoo

"Venice of the North"

6:15 am

Buggie

you have too many big citys in that corner of the country, you should share them out a bit ;o)

6:16 am

rubyfoo

we're about half way between Geneva and Lyon but the rest is pretty dinky

6:17 am

Buggie

I've been to Lyon twice, but it's a hell of a trip if you're not flying

6:17 am

rubyfoo

phantom: ma6 + he4

6:17 am

Buggie

I really wish they'd put some proper trains in between east and west

6:17 am

rubyfoo

6:18 am

Buggie

Poitiers

6:18 am

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Poitiers is beautiful!

6:18 am

Buggie

100 years ago?

6:19 am

rubyfoo

just kidding

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I had better be careful what I say; he might be your best friend.....

6:20 am

Buggie

Poitiers is a mess, they've made the pedestrian are bigger (good), but changed half the streets, anyone visiting gets lost, and they've redone all the paving, so now you can't walk around town without sunglasses because of the glare...

6:21 am

rubyfoo

the old heart with its blackish stones was wonderful. My friend taught at the university

6:21 am

rubyfoo

but he lived in a new high-rise on the periphery

6:21 am

Buggie

oh don't know anybody in any of those buildings :)

6:22 am

Buggie

they haven't touched the cobbled area by the main church, but the other main square was completely ripped up, including the trees and everything

6:22 am

rubyfoo

are you French?

6:23 am

Buggie

hard question to answer, but officially no, nobody in my family has ever worked up the courage to get the paperwork sorted out...

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I once went to a 14 juillet fete in a grand place I think in front of the Hotal de Ville

6:24 am

rubyfoo

hotel*

6:24 am

Buggie

yeah, it's the hotel de ville square that's been completely ripped up

6:24 am

Shallow One

6:25 am

Shallow One

6:25 am

Shallow One

the babbler known widely as smores --- had sevens, sixes and fours --- spelled out to to the letter --- she left (should know better) --- returning, she missed all her scores

6:26 am

rubyfoo

6:28 am

Buggie

at least I've already got the 10 and three of the 8s

6:45 am

redturtlehead

I dont have the ten, have 2 8's... but thats nice, I have barely had any time to play lately.

6:46 am

Buggie

the 10 is very easy to get

6:46 am

redturtlehead

I shall eventually find it. Is it a plural?

6:46 am

Shallow One

hi and puzzling at the last 21

6:47 am

Shallow One

no past tense

6:47 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh, thanks shallow.

6:48 am

Shallow One

do you want a very shallow hint on the last 8, buggie?

6:48 am

Buggie

sure :)

6:48 am

Shallow One

its a compound

6:49 am

Shallow One

when you need more, just say so

6:50 am

Uneaixoise

6:50 am

Buggie

7:00 am

car.eeyore

Hi LisaG! I just started, so I only have the sm 8.

7:00 am

LisaG

ha ha lol...jsut got the 4th sm8

7:01 am

LisaG

there are 3 sm8's and they are all pretty much the same with a different ending

7:01 am

LisaG

so is a compound word

7:01 am

LisaG

i just started too about half hour or so ago

7:02 am

LisaG

im not even halfway yet

7:02 am

kje

kje

7:04 am

car.eeyore

car.eeyore

7:05 am

Shallow One

so8 is a compound word

7:05 am

LisaG

ha! got the 10 :)

7:05 am

kje

7:06 am

LisaG

I can only think of inappropriate ways that the so compound word can be used~

kje

car.eeyore

Oh my Lisa!!!!!

7:06 am

car.eeyore

car.eeyore

7:16 am

Shallow One

fo5/18 is a wind/weather situation in the mountains, fo4/8 a variant spelling

kje

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

7:36 am

Shallow One

hi uu, love the aurora

7:36 am

Hi Uusue - smoosh is in there, but just as slang; not sure how much "usage" it takes to make slang a "legitimate" word

7:37 am

uusue2

hi shallow and jwr!

History buffs can visit General Stonewall Jackson's resting place in two different locations. Most of his body is buried under a monument in a cemetery in Lexington, Virginia. His left arm, however, is buried at the site of the battle of Chancellorsville in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It was amputated on the battlfield after Jackson was accidentally shot by his own men.

12:49 pm

Glantarell

ty Hego. And now I must go and find somewhere to put my car. Got home tonight to find the road leading to the street where I live was closed for resurfacing. I had a car full of shopping so ignored the signs. Apparently if the car isn;t off the development by morning, iot won;t be going anywhere till Sunday afternoon. And nobody warned any of the 150 householders that this was happening

12:49 pm

MollyL

Well that sucks, Glant.

12:50 pm

hego

sounds typical

12:50 pm

MollyL

Home Owners Associations are from hell.

12:51 pm

Glantarell

Think the nearest safe on street parking is about 3/4 mile away. I suppose the exercise this evening will do me good. And yes, it sucks. My bigger problem is that I am having a new living room window delivered and fitted on Friday. Had the dayh booked fof work for weeks. If the company can;t get the van to my house it isn;t going to happen.

12:51 pm

Glantarell

No Home Owners Ass involvement. All homes privately owned. This is the local authority who are resurfacing

12:52 pm

hego

oooh bad

12:52 pm

Glantarell

Public road maintenance....

12:52 pm

Here in the good ole US, we have Home Owners Associations even when the homes are privately owned.

you should check out those skinny girl drink mixes they are bleating about on tv lately

2:28 pm

crosshair

or just do not use mix and cut back on the mix(there are 90 calories in 8 ounces of shweppes tonic water) hehe

2:28 pm

periwinkle

not less fattening on Fri :)

2:28 pm

periwinkle

I looked into those skinny girl drinks. they do not seem to sell them in my area. but I will check in the local wine and spirits stores too

2:29 pm

periwinkle

I am using target brand of tonic and there are 100 calories per 8 oz

2:30 pm

periwinkle

bbl

2:30 pm

Jacula

Thankyou, sannichcat.

5:54 pm

cosdem

orannge coloring, same oreos. just with orange not white coloring

5:56 pm

Jacula

Orange colouring as opposed to orange flavouring? Weird!

Hi Niel

Or some anagram thereof

6:02 pm

Hey gremlinn... LTNS.

6:02 pm

negativeneil

Well, yeah. I read typo pretty well though.

6:03 pm

gremlinn

indeed; I've been around a bit more lately though

6:03 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah? Good to know. I haven't... been too busy. Just started working again finally. A new full-time job that I actually like. :)

6:05 pm

gremlinn

Cool, good to hear - yeah, partly I've been very busy myself, but I've spent quite a few hundred hours of spare time on certain other addictive games that kind of crowded this out for a while

6:05 pm

Jacula

Work is hard to come by these days, Neil, so well done on not only finding a job but finding one you like. I wish you all the best.

6:08 pm

gremlinn

So, what do you think about the Obama/Romney race? I hear everything from "Romney's got a slim edge" to "Romney's toast"

HI

6:10 pm

cosdem

election today: romney's toast. but it'll be a lot closer maybe. gremlin

6:11 pm

cosdem

obama has slight edge.

6:11 pm

herinfernallady

Because Obama isn't a nut bag

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

I hope that after the debate Obama will have more edge, but...we shall see.

6:12 pm

herinfernallady

Neil I have been wanting to ask you

6:12 pm

cosdem

itll be hard for Obama tonight. he really disllke Romney. He has to be careful how he shows it. It hurt him in Jan 2008 against Hillary in NH.

6:12 pm

negativeneil

I think the latter is pretty accurate, gremlinn.
Better be. I "trolled" Romney a few weeks ago over something he tweeted. Predicatably, no response.

6:12 pm

wjb

ty dc & gremlin

6:12 pm

negativeneil

Predictably, even. Damn typos.

6:13 pm

Jacula

As an outsider to USA politics, I can only agree with Herin. Romney does seem like a nut job.

6:13 pm

herinfernallady

Neil you coming to Aus too with your brother?

6:13 pm

redturtlehead

I think he was a VERY odd choice for the Republican party.

6:13 pm

negativeneil

He's worse than a nutjob. He's batshit insane.

6:13 pm

dcseain

as a Washingtonian, agreed, herin and jac, though he's far from the worst of the lot on the right side of the spectrum here at present.

6:13 pm

dcseain

agreed, red

6:14 pm

negativeneil

No Herin, I'm not. I've just started a full-time job.

6:14 pm

Thanks. :)

6:14 pm

redturtlehead

If they actually wanted to win the election, they could have chosen a far more moderate Candidate...and had pretty good success...

6:14 pm

negativeneil

Took long enough huh?

6:14 pm

gremlinn

I won't say "toast" just yet but the signs are looking pretty bad

6:14 pm

cosdem

Moderates have no place in the Republican party any more.

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

O Yah for you. I saw adverts for you brother and I was thinking I wonder if you are coming to. Australia is Awesome and Melbourne is the best city every. Which as i live here I have to say so

6:15 pm

negativeneil

I'd toast him.

6:15 pm

cosdem

national level, at least.

6:15 pm

dcseain

the issue is the Tea Party (Dixiecats in my mind) hijacked the party -- no hope for moderates there any more.

6:15 pm

gremlinn

I'd toast to you toasting him.

6:15 pm

negativeneil

I see Herin. No, not this time.

6:15 pm

dcseain

Cos, that's true through the South also.

6:15 pm

negativeneil

Haha, gremlinn. I don't think I could find a toaster big enough though.

6:15 pm

Jacula

Hi seain.

6:15 pm

howdy, jacula :)

6:16 pm

Use a spit?

6:16 pm

Yes. And dying out in new england actually. chris shays got beat by a tea party republican in the primary for CT Senate

6:16 pm

herinfernallady

And thank you for making me nearly splutter my breakfast on the batshit insane coment

6:17 pm

Jacula

Lol,Herin.

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

I do promise my self not to get into politics here but that couldn't be helped

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

Congrats Neil on your new job too

6:18 pm

Jacula

I'm going to wander off to bed now, since it's 17 mins past midnight here in UK. Enjoy the chat and the rest of the grid. x

6:18 pm

herinfernallady

Night Jac

6:19 pm

negativeneil

You're welcome herin. Hope it was a good splutter... or almost a good one.

6:19 pm

negativeneil

And thanks for the congrats.

6:20 pm

It was but if I did it would have been messy as it was bran flakes

6:29 pm

Oh I do hate when things come to an abrupt stop.

I'm well. I am babbling as I watch the Presidential debate.

8:07 pm

dan2bit

oh *that* debate

8:07 pm

MollyL

I have no interest in BS vs BS

8:07 pm

smores

yeah "less filling"

8:07 pm

Minveryork

Happy twentieth anniversary to Barack & his wife Michelle!

8:08 pm

dan2bit

I'm with you, Molly - they never actually answer the questions they're asked anyway

8:08 pm

smores

Yeah, and he's stuck spending it with Romney

8:09 pm

Minveryork

Race to the top means race to get out of teaching testing grades because too much accountability is put on teachers.

8:10 pm

MollyL

It's like listening to the grown up s on a Charlie Brown cartoon. Wah-wah-wah-wah

8:10 pm

smores

nice Molly

8:11 pm

gapeach

Molly, I think the BS vs BS describes it so well.

8:26 pm

yeah - I was thinking the same thing - Romney not looking to good

8:28 pm

smores

Obama I think is having trouble hiding his dislike of him though

8:28 pm

cosdem

wow romney is being a major dick

8:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ya think?

8:29 pm

dan2bit

any help for the corner E? I have ei4/5 and en4/5

8:30 pm

there will be a guaranteed editoral cartonn with romney throwing a tantrum saying "I getthe last word!"

ty smores!

8:31 pm

8:31 pm

MollyL

Cos, have they grabbed cordless mikes yet, ala West Wing?

8:32 pm

Minveryork

Obama should not have started by saying he inherited a trillion dollar debt either. I agree w/him, but he should not have said that.. Should never play the blame game

8:32 pm

cosdem

no thats the 2nd debate molly

8:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's not a blame gamei it's the truth

8:32 pm

Minveryork

Or it'll be spoofed on the next Saturday Night Live cosdem.

8:32 pm

cosdem

true min.

8:32 pm

dan2bit

sigh. I guess there is no place to escape these "debates"

8:33 pm

romney just said he'd get rid of big bird

LOL cosdem! and he likes Big Bird

8:34 pm

i am fully expecting to hear all the best parts of the debate on The Daily Show and Air America (hi all)

8:34 pm

cosdem

id love a live unscripted unprepared debate

8:34 pm

I am finished! I have fireworks! sm 7/40 was my final word

8:35 pm

yes Romney has lost the Sesame Street vote

8:35 pm

woo hoo Minver!

8:35 pm

Congrats, Min!

8:35 pm

I cannot understand who these "swing voters" are that are actually making their decisions based on what they hear in this dog and pony show.

8:35 pm

smores

wtg minver

8:35 pm

MollyL

2Bit, put your fingers in your ears and sing LA LA LA LA...it works for me.

8:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Where are they swinging, and why are they so wobbly?

8:35 pm

Minveryork

Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you?Welcome to the grid

8:36 pm

Minveryork

I will try to do a story of clues if I do not get too distracted by the bozos on TV.

8:37 pm

MollyL

Oh I don't think "You can't handle the truth" would work for Obama. He is not exactly the bastion of truth himself.

8:37 pm

dan2bit

almost everyone watching has already made up their mind, and will watch from their own affirmation bias. So there's no actual debate or reasoning going on, but we've somehow been trained to think this skill of "dueling speechmaking" is somehow presidential

8:37 pm

Minveryork

Well, if Romney becomes President, we can say goodbye to the swing sets on Sesame Street.

8:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Swing voters- who are you?

8:37 pm

MollyL

I agree 2Bit. And the people who haven't bothered to formulate an opinion yet, probably are not watching the debate anyway.

8:38 pm

Minveryork

That's true,most who are watching this have made up their minds already.I do think it's important to have the debates

8:40 pm

smores

Agreed Molly - Romney was just flipflopping around and your West Wing comment made me think of that.

8:41 pm

smores

They both have major faults - I guess I'm just going with

8:41 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for oo5-14? Thanks

8:42 pm

smores

"better the Devil you Know"

8:42 pm

dan2bit

the political junkies oo5 and aahed over the presidential debates

8:42 pm

cosdem

the big bird/romney memes have come out already

8:42 pm

dan2bit

I would agree Min, if they were actually asked important questions and really answered them. The reality is, the president has very little control over the economic direction of the country. These debates just feed the media's need to present things as a competition (the closer the better)

8:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oo5, similar to the oo4, but different verb ending

8:43 pm

smores

:) good clue dan2

8:43 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, dan.

8:43 pm

smores

I'm done now - promise

8:44 pm

dan2bit

I still want smoosh to be a word

8:44 pm

MollyL

I totally disagree. Better the devil you know should not apply to how you vote for the President of your country.

8:45 pm

dan2bit

this country needs real third (fourth? fifth?) parties, and if not a parliamentary system, at least some proportional representation

8:46 pm

dan2bit

slim congressional majorities should not become total gridlock

8:46 pm

dan2bit

ok, *I'm* done now :-)

8:46 pm

dan2bit

promise

8:47 pm

smores

aaaaaa - I promised - so I can't comment :)

8:47 pm

MollyL

In other news...police in Chicago have discovered a pot farm with SIX FOOT PLANTS. Great googly moogly.

8:47 pm

smores

teehee

8:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

proportional representation, instant runoff voting, NO private money in campaigns, NO proprietary software in voting machines, NO partisan officials in charge of elections, criminal prosecution for candidated caught spending one cent above their allotment

8:48 pm

MollyL

That brings new meaning to the song Everybody Must Get Stoned.

no... we actually put the "lid" on the cold frame this afternoon! I don't want my baby lettuces to freeze tonight. I think it's going to be THAT cold. brrr... last week we had high temps in the upper 70s and lows in the upper fifties. *sigh*

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

supposed to be below 30 at night this week and in 60s during day here.

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

but it always feels cold over there to me, because of the humidity

10:10 pm

stidmama

It's not that humid right now, but I have heard that is true. I left that side of the state so long ago I don't remember what the transition felt like. :-)

10:11 pm

jesdraggon

i lived in skagit as a kid and never noticed, but when i moved back over there for a year or so, i was constantly cold

10:13 pm

Yes, it's funny what we can acclimate to -- I know that I never re-acclimated to the cold waters of the Pacific after Puerto Rico and Virginia. THOSE were lovely, warm, swimming waters!

thanks again

11:07 pm

negativeneil

So gremlinn... what are those "certain other addictive games" that you say have crowded out Babble for a while?

11:07 pm

negativeneil

I joined a good Boggle site, but I'm sure it's one you know about already... http://weboggle.info/

11:08 pm

gremlinn

Skyrim (nearly 250 hours) and now Just Cause 2 (over 150)

11:08 pm

negativeneil

What kind of games are those?

11:09 pm

gremlinn

RPG and action

11:09 pm

gremlinn

So that cut into almost all of my Boggle time for a while

11:09 pm

negativeneil

Oh, ok.

11:10 pm

gremlinn

I think I've seen weboggle.info, not sure if I played it (if so, not a lot probably)

11:12 pm

Haha, yeah. Remember, alcohol was involved. :P

Yep.
