Displaced NJ voters can vote but it has to be in-state but not at their usual polling station. Your friends can come into NJ to the nearest polling station and vote according to the provisional rules.

lots of goodies there, shallow
1:46 am
Shallow One

there ougth to besome of the halibut left i caugth yestternight - it was gigantic missing the "ish" and having known 'boy' and 'toy' to go with it half the game
1:47 am
Shallow One

and to crown that i ranted abut the 'ism' not occuring once in the grid
1:47 am
jillibus

was there an "ish" last night? I don't remember.
1:48 am
Shallow One

boyish/toyish
1:49 am
jillibus

I tore my hair out looking for that addition to those words -- gave up before I was about to go bald
1:49 am
Shallow One

lol
1:49 am
Lizlin

where did the ism happen?
1:50 am
Shallow One

it was a very mean grid yesterday - cant remeber spending so much time in collins dictionary
1:50 am
jillibus

morewords is much more efficient, shallow
1:50 am
Shallow One

it didnt - thats what i was musing about, and asked for help for the boy/toy combination at the same time
1:51 am
Lizlin

ah! so I didn't miss that!
1:51 am
Lizlin

found the boy / toy ones very late on!
1:52 am
Shallow One

i dont like morewords for looking up words - too many dead ends
1:52 am
Lizlin

never used morewords. sometimes use a2zwordfinder - but try not to
1:53 am
Shallow One

but the ism, of course is just a letter different than the ish which i just couldnt spot - i wanted to bang my head
1:53 am
Lizlin

that would hurt, so don't bother
1:53 am
KatieMcG

Mari are you on you fire?
1:53 am
Shallow One

i use more words when im totally desperate
1:55 am
jillibus

shallow, a trick for using morewords is to go there, enter a ^ and add all the letters missing from the grid. Copy that to a word processor so you can reuse it. then when looking for a word like, say, bo7, enter bo-----and then the ^plus those letters you saved.
1:56 am
jillibus

really weeds out the unnecessaries
1:56 am
Shallow One

yep, makes wordlists a lot shorter, i do that too. but only as last resort
1:58 am
jillibus

I also try not to use it until I'm really stuck, but that's quite often quite soon!
2:00 am
jillibus

nbt/nbs
2:00 am

i dont use the list until ive got at least half of the words, i dont use more words until im through with the list. whats left is mostly babblets to me or blackouts

2:32 am

do you have any pets in the house?

no, i travel too much with work for that to be practical

I am glad you have a peaceful sanctuary - even if it doesn't feel like home yet

it is very convenient and peaceful. i have just had al;l the windows replaced so that it is warmer and they let more light into the rooms than the old ones which had faux leading decoration on them
2:37 am

and i have my upstairs craft room, but i don;t feel enthused to use it much, i expect that enthusiasm to come back one day :-)

it is hard to make time to do that - I struggle even though I no longer work
2:39 am

what do you do?

i have the time, it's the inclination i'm struggling with - total lack of inspiration! i do mixed media stuff, and textiles and some embroidery - all sorts fo things really

The original version of Roger Corman’s The Little Shop of Horrors was reportedly the fastest film ever made. It was written in a single night, rehearsed in three days, and shot in two days and one night. Why the rush? Corman wanted to finish the movie by New Year’s Day 1960, when a new industry practice would have forced him to pay the actors residual fees for any showing.

By the way, the voting problem that Cos mentioned is a touch screen issue and not the result of voting fraud.

so - surgery I see - bet he is hoping that is ASAP. Can they tell him anything else now or will they see how he comes up after surgery?
1:59 pm
uusue2

They think the prognosis is good, but he will need chemotherapy, and they won't know the full extent until they go in there.
2:00 pm
MollyL

Well, it's up to the voter to make sure that their vote is tabulated correctly (ie the right choice is highlighted). And since this is not being reported as a wide spread problem, I think the voting results will be accurate.
2:01 pm

Well, that's good, Molly. I hadn't read what the specific issue was but do have general concerns about electronic voting.

lovely work too - interesting to see some of it suspended
3:21 pm

I can't understand how Book Depository can send books to the other side of the world with no freight cost - NOT that I am complaining. It is far cheaper for us to buy an Australian book from the UK (no GST/VAT involved)

ge, smores. try collins dictionary, its listed but not with a good description. found a pic of it in an online museum on the shetlands. it looks like an oversized tambourine without the cymbals, i looked it up this morning ...
4:35 pm
Shallow One

also the sh4 can be found in collins, which doesnt get a result via '?'
4:36 pm
MollyL

It's some kind of grain harvester.
4:37 pm
Shallow One

not really a plate-äike drum to sort debris from the millstone from the grain or winnow the grain from spellts
4:38 pm
Shallow One

debris from the flour of course
4:39 pm
MollyL

That's what I said, a grain harvester.
4:42 pm
Shallow One

sorry i thought 'harvesting' is just the process of getting the grain from the field and not the ongoing process- as non-native speaker sometimes have a gap in my vocab
4:43 pm
Shallow One

heres the pic i found from the museum http://tinyurl.com/c723hem

winnowing --- removing the grain from the chaff.

and 'spelts' is obviously i term i made up from german 'spelze' - i meant chaff

There, there Welki. The eggs are our friends.

Hate it when looking for a word that I know ought to be there and is there but can't see it for looking!
5:56 pm
welki

who hasn't drawn faces on hard boiled eggs so you can tell them from the un-boiled ones? (putting a penciled x on them is so pedestrian)
5:57 pm
Lizlin

me! I just spin them!!! Boring I know but I never was artistic!
6:02 pm
BabbleRabble

Any fires in your are, Lizlin. Lyn said the fires were out in her area.
6:02 pm

<---Has drawn faces : )
6:03 pm

No - not here. The fire risk is high at the moment though. It's unusual where I am that it hasn't rained much here so far this spring. We

IF you need help, just ask. People are very friendly here.

Can't see that happening on my screen! Have only 48 words out of 177!

That's funny - we've just finished breakfast and I'm playing til we go out for a walk

I suspect most of us are suffering from indigestion
6:17 pm
Lizlin

I think I'm with you nrkii! It gets overwhelming!
6:17 pm
wvteach

we're not in to politics that much so trying to find some background music for the evening since TV is all about election results - even though most polls haven't even closed they are predicting winners
6:18 pm
Lizlin

My other half's so interested - in whichever country! I'm not so interested.
6:18 pm
wvteach

don't think they should be allowed to predict results until all polls are closed so it doesn't influence voters
6:19 pm
Lizlin

He wants to know when they'll know the results
6:19 pm
MollyL

Good point Teach.
6:19 pm
nrkii

results are starting to come in from the first states now
6:19 pm
wvteach

they're saying that it will be close and won't know until late tonight
6:20 pm
Lizlin

So in how many hours is that. It's 10.20 am here
6:20 pm
nrkii

no earlier than 2PM, I'd guess
6:20 pm
nrkii

more likely later
6:21 pm
wvteach

It's 7:20 here and they are saying until 11 - 12 - so 4 or 5 more hours and even then many results will be unofficiaql
6:21 pm

6:22 pm
wvteach

yes, babble chat has helped me increase my awareness of it all
6:24 pm
Lizlin

I have family in London Canada and America - sometimes I have to add hours and sometimes subtract! I'm very sorted with London but less so with the US and Canada - where is babble time based?
6:24 pm
MollyL

Central US I think.
6:24 pm
Lizlin

Not helpful for where my family is based!
6:26 pm
Lizlin

But I agree with teach that babble chat does help
6:27 pm
wvteach

time in the chat log is the "US Central time Zone" which is just west of where i am so I always add one hour to what is listed in chat
6:28 pm
Lizlin

For me it's subtract 4 hours and go to yesterday or the other end of the day. I can understand people's confusion about lickety's dates

Oh yes - to capture someone in your spell - though I'd've spelt it with a double final consonant

Ru, it's a word that means to spell bind, usually spelled with a double consonant at the end.

8:56 pm

I know, molly.
8:57 pm

Okay because she didn't wear an apron or glasses in that. I thought we were thinking of different things.

10:08 pm
snags

agree with you Bug. In June, I had a ct scan on my lungs, it can back abnormal. I wasn't worried though, just my nature, the second one came back fine. Had a mamogram in October, came back questionable.
10:08 pm
Bugsaw

I have to agree Aloy. I don't understand the American system that allows the states more rights on how they will hold a national election. I think the nation should have the same rules. but, I am Canadian so my opinion is not worth much
10:08 pm
snags

Second mamogram followed by a mri showed things ok............ again didn't worry!!!!!!!!!
10:09 pm
Bugsaw

so glad things worked out so well for you snags. two scares is tuff

as I said, I didn't worry, my hubby did enough for both of us. I told him I don't worry until there is a real reason, that is just me!!!

Extremely sad day for America. A man with a mandate destroys the economy in the first four years. A man with a mandate cannot work with Congress. Now he is a lame duck with no mandate. 20-22 trillion in national debt is a realistic possibility.
10:49 pm

Apparently, the majority of Americans are perfectly content with a President who has done nothing in 4 years. Not sure what that says about us as a country.

10:56 pm

they will wake up and smell the same pile of crap they've been smelling for the next four years. I don't know how it will be possible, but this congress will do LESS than what has been done in the last two years, and by my estimation that is nothing.

For your sake I hope you are wrong Knight, but I'm afraid that Romney's offer for a co-operative position in Congress was good only in the event that he won.
10:58 pm
KnightTime

Just what the country needs - more potheads. We certainly are making progress.
10:59 pm
jillibus

Molly, you haven't ben paying as much attention as we Canadians have. Obama has achieved a lot of good things. I am now not going to say anything more, other than the fact that most of the world was in favour of Obama.
10:59 pm

Want to go back to prohibition, Knight? -- that wasn't very successful, was it?

Jilli, I live here in America and I have been paying a lot of attention to what Obama "hasn't" done. And with all due respect, the "rest of the world" doesn't live here and have to deal with the consequences.
11:01 pm

In physics terms, knight, you are looking at two positions and assuming that the initial speed and acceleration were zero. Then the second position is due entirely to things that happened after the first. But the velocity and acceleration weren't zero, and you can't ignore that.

Well, I think the country would be better served if it were run by scientists than by lawyers. But I am not running.
11:19 pm
rbud

I don't much care about debt, the government did what it had to in order to support "peace keeping" missions already begun by Bush... that stuff's expensive. Could have just pulled out all the troops instead, then tried to find them jobs here, probably without much luck, and gotten negative flack over that, too. oops, is that too radical a viewpoint?
11:19 pm

However, my former colleague, Bill Foster, did win.

I am saddened by the partisan baiting and negative comments on babble tonight. There was a time when we maintained a respect for other's opinions here, and did not demean those with different ideas. I am very disappointed in this former welcoming and safe place for people who love words and word games. Debating topics does not require putting other people down. *stern mama look*

i have very definate political beliefs but i think the place where we have to put our efforts is to the changes that are nonpartisan such as redisticting and campaign fiance reform so we can work together without agreeing

Oh for God's sake, this is not a "former welcoming and safe place". It's still both of those. People have a right to express their opinion, even if it doesn't jive with the "majority rule" here.
