Jilli, I don't look at the list until the last minute...prefer to go at it on my own with clues from the chog
1:24 am
jillibus

nonsense, rbud
1:24 am
dizgrannie

totally agree with you, Rbud
1:25 am
negativeneil

Yeah but the list only gives you the first 2 letters of the word and how many letters/points... cluing gives you even more info, practically spelling out the word for you in some cases. I'd rather do some thinking.
1:25 am
jillibus

chacun à son fou gout
1:25 am
negativeneil

Having it handed to you removes some of the fun, at least in my opinion.
1:26 am

IMO...don't want clues and just want list....turn off chog and just go down the list.....no fun
1:26 am
negativeneil

trop vrai jilli.
1:26 am
negativeneil

Oh well. Everyone has their own way.
1:27 am
rbud

no, really, there are usually scads of clues in the chog, which I'd have gotten along the way if I'd been here from the start, so I tend to read back before I ever say a thing. Then I don't want to see the list unless absolutely necessary. In fact I have way more fun on those nights when there's no list at all.
1:27 am
dizgrannie

agrred, Neil
1:27 am
dizgrannie

**agreed
1:28 am
negativeneil

I don't mind more cryptic clues... I just don't like those that spell the word out, know what I mean?
1:28 am
negativeneil

Although with some words, it's pretty hard to clue them any other way.
1:29 am
rbud

I agree with that, neil, some of the really punny clues are the best. but I've seen (and done) the literal spelling out ones, too, when they're tough.
1:30 am
Lizlin

Hi there. I'm also with you about cluing. Cryptic ones are by far the best!
1:30 am
jillibus

the thing is, when people ask for stats which are already provided in the list, they are diverting another player from solving the puzzle. Asking for a clever clue is a different matter and fun for the provider.
1:32 am
Shallow One

hi all:)
1:32 am
rbud

one thing I do sometimes (and feel a bit guilty about) is to clue something like rewrite as re + wr5 - but I usually only do that when it's down to the wire and almost fliptime and someone's in a hurry.
1:32 am
jillibus

1:33 am
grannyrose

talking of clues, sometimes it's nigh on impossible to clue a word.
1:33 am
rbud

I never ask for stats, I just don't think in stats, really, even after all this time, unless they involve really high point letters, then they get my attention.
1:34 am
rbud

just the two letters and how long is still how I think for the most part.
1:34 am
grannyrose

i sometimes do have to resort to almost spelling a word out, because there is no other way. i try with a meaning on those words first, and if that doesn't work, go to plan B
1:34 am
Shallow One

the best cryptic clues are the typos ... :/ kept looking for a 7 (chog 12:48) until i reached my personal go for the list time to find out there is no a 7 ...
1:35 am
Shallow One

or i just misunderstood jilis entry
1:35 am
rbud

sometimes folks just don't get it, babbleblock sets in, and they need it spelled out, lol
1:36 am

1:36 am

have done things like that, too, Shallow
1:37 am

1:37 am

thanx jilli
1:37 am
rbud

then we fall back on "hump letter, cross letter, 3rd vowel... " stuff like that, it's the bottom of the clue-ing barrel
1:38 am
jillibus

I love clueing but seldom get a chance
1:38 am
jillibus

give me a tough word and I'll try...
1:39 am
rbud

I tried that as "cluing" and it just looked wrong, haha
1:39 am
negativeneil

I don't think in "stats" either rbud... other than the letter pair the word starts with and how many letters it contains.
1:39 am
Shallow One

that really is the bottom, i go for morewords beofe that - at least that involves looking and i always find it there
1:40 am
jillibus

flosey is great at finding words from just stats -- magic imho!
1:40 am
negativeneil

And I've also done the "the literal spelling out ones" rbud, when there's just no other way to clue an unusual word.
1:40 am
negativeneil

And hi, Matt?
1:40 am
jillibus

Matt?
1:41 am
rbud

once I go to the list, then the fun's over for me. fill in the blanks time. because then you know it falls between certain 3rd or 4th letters, etc, really narrows it down.
1:41 am
negativeneil

Totally agree with what you said @ 1:30 am jilli. But I can understand asking for stats if there's no list up yet.

11:12 am

hi PMS
11:13 am
crosshair

it is truly sad.this was thrust suddenly upon my elegant after her eldest brother had a stroke 2 months ago.you think the rest of the brothers would be gratefull that she is even willing to do this
11:13 am
Jillyjill

Which is good, cuz just moving her out of the house has been an eye opening experience!
11:13 am
sprite

very true, crossy. But grateful is not within their reach, I guess. Too little room left with all the greed.
11:14 am
mixi6

when my parents died, the four of us got together and divided things. My brother had a list and when we got though there were only two items in contention for 3 people. easy.
11:14 am
crosshair

seems so:(
11:15 am
crosshair

and ladies a bit of advice,never,EVER tell your kids ahead of time what you may or may not be leaving them or any details of the will.all the brothers were pre told what was willed to them and it has made it that much worse;(
11:16 am
sprite

my father made sure my sister and I won't get a single dime or memento from him. And my mother will not leave much, and my sister and I don't want much either. Let's keep it simple and clean, please.
11:16 am
crosshair

simple is definatly best
11:17 am

my mother has divided her jewelry in her will, had us choose together. The rest ain't worth zip. I'll be happy with whatever she leaves me, as long as it aren't debts.
11:18 am

my mother in law is the smartest of the bunch and she is dead.i discovered she had all her inverstments altered to split autoatically 3 ways,she had all contacts numbers on a pad in the will envelope,she had paid off all her credit cards ahead of time and liquidated just enough investments so her bank account now has enough for all lawyer fees and funeral arrangements
11:18 am

and we just found out that when her eldest brother had a stroke,all signing authority went to the wife for is medical and financial etc etc,and that power may also include that she may have the right and the authorty to take of as executor on the disabled brothers behalf.so always remember,whomever you make executor you may also be making their spouse executor as well

11:25 am

watch out, if the kids of the deceased are devious enough, they may just break in and steal what they want like one of my aunts did during Grandma's funeral - now that was a nightmare. We all wondered why she wasn't at the funeral, then we found out. She disappeared for years after that.
11:25 am
crosshair

well,if the disabled brothers mrs wishes to use her signing authority power to ursurp the job as executor of this will,well will hand it all over and smile
11:26 am
crosshair

the only thing they can steal are about 5 thousand dollars in rings and bracelets that have been directly willed to my mrs
11:27 am
rbud

it's amazing how greedy people can get when folks pass on, isn't it?
11:27 am
crosshair

the rest is all what is in the estate account we set up today at the bank and investments set to split and pay out direct upon her death
11:27 am
crosshair

it is sad indeed rbud
11:28 am
crosshair

when mum was alive i told her i hope she lived to be 101 so she can spend every last dime.often it is better that way
11:28 am
rbud

or even just go to a nursing home - as soon as my dad's parents were both in one, his brothers' wives were at the house loading up stuff - including some of Dad's stuff! (he was living with them helping on the farm)
11:28 am

good lord
11:29 am

we had to go get his stuff back, worked our way through 3 wives of brothers to get most of it.

though it took until Dad passed away for one of them to finally give back his guitar, I told the brothers it was all I wanted, and it eventually resurfaced. I still treasure it.
11:36 am

at my dads showing we were all telling jokes and laughing, the funeral director came in and asked us to quiet down
11:36 am

We buried my dad on my 40th birthday, after it was all over at the cemetery, my brother and his wife and son called me over to their van, sang happy bday, and covered me with silly string, lol - the cemetery had never seen anything like that before, I'm sure.
11:38 am

I know what you mean, my dad would not have wanted the quiet sober that the funeral home expected.
11:39 am

one thing this has done is opened my eyes as to how to set up my own will etc,so there will be no confusion of fighting whatsoever
11:40 am

maybe if you threaten to hire a professional mediator, the relatives will simmer down and wise up - the cost would be avoided
11:40 am

one other thing I recall about Dad's mother's funeral - the evil witch aunts also argued about whether Grannie should be buried with or without glasses - I opined that I hope not to need mine when I'm finally resting - I sure don't wear them to sleep. They said she didn't look like herself without them. I plan to specify "without" in my final wishes.
12:00 pm
rbud

or maybe I'll have them on for the ceremony, lol, and have them removed later
12:01 pm
wvteach

the funeral home asked us (for my MIL funeral) what we wanted - they suggested that she wear them during the viewing but have them removed afterwards - they donated glasses (if we wished) to a charity
12:01 pm
rbud

oh, good idea, teach
12:03 pm
smores

yes, the Lions Club has a wonderful foundation for old glasses
12:04 pm
rbud

what really killed me about all the stuff with Dad's family, is that it was always the aunts causing trouble, the ones only related by marriage. The actual sons had not a word to say, I suppose for fear of marital discord, lol!
12:04 pm

wow rbud, that's sad

hi lynn, babble
4:13 pm
BabbleRabble

Hello, welki
4:13 pm
lynxxx

hi Welki
4:15 pm
welki

sure is different - sort of like finding yourself in a place you used to feel comfortable in, but noticing that there are new owners - and that you're the sort of folks they're trying to get rid of
4:15 pm
lynxxx

I agree BR, it has its occasional bright moments b ut not the same. But probably will survive as gets new players constantly
4:15 pm
lynxxx

here we go again
4:16 pm
welki

?? me?
4:18 pm
lynxxx

no not you Werlki, red bars of doom, have to log off and come back in to see chat etc
4:18 pm
welki

ohhhhh ... whew. (i had those red bars, too - gone for the moment)
4:19 pm
BabbleRabble

I emailed JT again
4:19 pm
lynxxx

nice analogy Welki
4:19 pm
BabbleRabble

Yes, welki, you put it well.
4:21 pm
lynxxx

would Babbles server be effected by the storms over there?
4:21 pm
welki

joke's on the new owners - this is the i.n.t.e.r.n.e.t and squatters' rights prevail :)
4:21 pm
welki

could be, lynxx - depends on where it is

hi. I do babble most days but do not seem to have time to chat ..... what are these red bars you speak about?
4:23 pm
welki

hi, mo - if you're not getting error messages, consider yourself lucky :)
4:24 pm
BabbleRabble

Hello, evano and mo.
4:24 pm
lynxxx

Hi Mo...instead of chat you see red/maroon bars "initilization error, contact DrG etc"
4:24 pm
welki

<-- brought up her kids right. just read a msg on FB - she offered her home up to anyone without power, who might need a shower, a break from bored kids, heat, hot food
4:25 pm
mo

ty welki ..... I must be lucky or on babble at the right times of day.
4:25 pm
lynxxx

well done Welki
4:26 pm
mo

ty lyn and hi.
4:26 pm
BabbleRabble

How thoughtful.
4:26 pm
welki

i'd like to think that most people would do the same if they could
4:27 pm
welki

she's right on the jersey shore and miraculously has had her power restored (not like one of my others, an hour away who will probably wait until nov 5 for hers)
4:27 pm
mo

I agree with you welki.
4:28 pm
lynxxx

but otherwise they are OK Welki, you must have been worried silly
4:31 pm
mo

I just cannot imagine the horror of it all and my good wishes and prayers go to everyone who has been affected.
4:31 pm
welki

very lucky, lyn - the one without the power happens to be here with me (with my grand-daughter) visiting - her husband's been working around the clock since sunday (he's operations manager for their EMS - emergency management services)
4:32 pm
welki

and sure i worried - but i worry about them during balmy weather, too *lol*
4:32 pm
lynxxx

thats a comfort - and for him to know they they are safe and warm
4:32 pm
lynxxx

we do don't we
4:33 pm
welki

wish i could turn off that worry option, but it seems to be a permanent condition
4:36 pm
lynxxx

I see in hindsight how good my parents were at biting their tongues...not sure I always have that talent
4:36 pm
BabbleRabble

It would be nice to strike an appropriate balance (if there is one) but love, compassion, caring and empathy certainly trump their absence.
4:38 pm
welki

if there was balance, i suppose we'd have nothing left to work towards
4:39 pm
welki

then again, i'm not typically one of those people who strive for that balance on a regular basis - i'm a mean old coot.
4:39 pm
lynxxx

really?! you hide it very well here
4:40 pm
welki

i have enough conflict at work that i try not to bring it here - or see it here, which is why i've been scarce
4:42 pm
BabbleRabble

I think I have asked you before, welki, but how much ice do you catch on a good day?
4:43 pm
welki

enough to cool my drink, br :)

not nearly as bad who've had real damage to their houses. My damage was minimal, just the front of the roof. And I do have a good friend to stay with. Lots of my neighbors are sleeping at the High School. I can't imagine that!

They made my brain hurt aged 16!!!! So I admire you!
6:51 pm
uusue2

:-) well, I'm getting paid to do them, so that helps
6:52 pm
Lizlin

It's probably way out of date now, but Nuffield Physics helped me come to terms with physics - I loved ripple tanks etc
6:52 pm
uusue2

ah, I'm doing the chapter on interference right now
6:53 pm
Lizlin

Vaguely remember - more years have passed than I think!
6:54 pm
uusue2

now I'm to the part on interference in thin films (why bubbles have rainbow colors) - it's a bit tricky to keep track of all the variables so I thought I would come back here and find a few more words
6:55 pm
Lizlin

Sounds like a good idea. A break always helps! Strange - I just entered ge 5 /14 (the first) - randomly - that's a make of bananas in the UK!
6:55 pm

8:44 pm

evening all.
My son sent a picture of his kids in their costumes and i said something like I honestly hadn't even realized it was halloween already. He said that's cause no one could ring my doorbell. (my icon is my house)
8:44 pm

We didn't have many kids. Haven't for years.

8:47 pm
wvteach

carved two pumpkins this afternoon with two of the grandkids. then the two of them sat out on the porch and handed out the candy for me. it was cold so they were all bundled up. the 6 year old lives in an area where they will trick or treat tomorrow night so they will have their chance to do their trick or treating tomorrow. Considering the cold temperatures we had more kids than i was expecting
8:47 pm

sh6/17 is the sh6 before it with sometimes vowel ending.
8:47 pm

yah, y'all really can't be making fun of new jersey these days, can you?
8:48 pm

Also I should call my dad, talked to him on Tuesday and he was fine but had no power.
8:48 pm

thanks molly. i tried it with the ie. my mind isn't all here
8:48 pm
rururocks

no.. I can't.. it looks awful
8:48 pm
rururocks

i'm glad you are somewhere safe
8:48 pm
Dorens

i've been told not to expect power for another two weeks
8:48 pm
rururocks

omg.
8:49 pm
rururocks

that's why we have a generator here
8:49 pm
uusue2

Yes, you really have been hit with power outages, doren, they should give you a rebate
8:49 pm
Dorens

my area on top of the hill is always the last to be restored. what kind of generator do you have? I was seriously thinking about getting one, but I don't really want to play around with gasoline, etc.
8:49 pm
MollyL

I think I'm going to buy stock in a generator company. I imagine sales are going to be at an all time high.
8:49 pm

Hi, jes!

my car has enough gas in it for 16 miles. can't imagine sitting in a line for three hours, but i suppose i will have to -- if there is any gas left at all. Most stations around here have no power
8:54 pm

I filled up my car on Friday, same day I bought water.
8:54 pm

8:54 pm

Knew I might need to hit the road.
8:54 pm
Dorens

Have you been to MA or are you planning on going now?
8:55 pm
nrkii

I came up to MA this afternoon. Yesterday, the town told us, "If you have some other place you can stay this weekend, we recommend you do that."
8:55 pm
wht

Hi all.
8:55 pm
Dorens

oh, there's the answer.

i didn't fill up sunday when i came home from CT cause I was supposed to pick up a new car on Tuesday.
8:55 pm

Dorens, did that tree miss your house?
8:55 pm
Dorens

8:55 pm
uusue2

Hi wht!
8:55 pm
Dorens

wht, it missed most of it. just nicked a bit of th roof in the front
8:56 pm
nrkii

Lack of power, cold. And I suspect they want to keep water use down if they can.
8:56 pm
nrkii

The less they have to tax their infrastructure, the better.
8:56 pm
Dorens

there is no power where you went to? hmm, i'm sure it makes sense on some level
8:57 pm
wht

That is good. I hope it didn't leak with the rain.
8:57 pm
nrkii

No, there's power here.
8:57 pm
nrkii

I meant the reason they told us to get away was because of lack of power and cold.
8:58 pm
nrkii

I was getting very depressed by the dark and the cold, so I gave up last night, packed this morning, and enlisted my neighbors to watch my house.
8:58 pm
Dorens

it didn't wht, but actually we barely had any rain so who knows. there's a lot of tree leaning on the roof to the left of the entrance, but didn't break through
8:59 pm
wht

Sounds like you were pretty lucky.
8:59 pm
nrkii

Did it miss your car???
8:59 pm
Dorens

oh ok, misread/.. thought you meant the town in MA. I totally understnd leaving (as I'm staying at my friend's house since Monday for the duration). dark cold alone just can't cut it for me!
9:00 pm
wht

Dark, cold and alone is a pretty dreadful combination.
9:00 pm
nrkii

9:00 pm
