12:18 am

ARB

It was cold most of the time -- it's been a hard winter. Where do you live, Dee? I was born in Milwaukee; my sister lives in a suburb of Chicago

12:19 am

VolleymomDee

in northern IN about 2 1/2 hours southeast of Chicago.

12:20 am

ARB

SO you too had a hard winter.

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

We sure did. Didn't have hardly any snow last winter, but this winter we had over 60 inches.

12:21 am

VolleymomDee

I hibernated the last 5 or so weeks.

melonheadjujube

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

pe ... pirates of pe... (think spelling might be different, but sounds same)

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

ah, just saw one. It jumped at me, the pe7.

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

po 6 and po 7 have to do with distilled whisky - po 7 is alt spelling of po 6 (extra consonant in the middle)... starts with a pan...

12:40 am

flosey

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

hello worzel

2:41 am

grannyrose

oh, and i met up with a doctori haven't seen for over 20 years. he specialises in chronic pain management. and i said to him, oh good, i need to pick your brains. ( at that point i was having one of my 'glow-in-the-dark' hot spells* he took one look at me, and asked, how long have you had FM?

2:41 am

grannyrose

his other special field is the treatment of FM. i was gob-smacked.

2:41 am

sprite

wooooot sounds like a good one for you, rose.

2:41 am

Lizlin

Hope he'll be able to suggest something to help.

2:42 am

grannyrose

Excellent :)

Hi pugs x

2:44 am

sprite

hello dear pug *hugs*

2:45 am

Lizlin

Hi pugs. So happy to read that you got your hours worked out.

2:45 am

grannyrose

he also suggested i look at a site for central sensitivity syndrome. he and his team have developed a way to de-sensitize. i am so excited.

2:45 am

puglet

I was having trouble with this server earlier :(

2:45 am

grannyrose

wb pugs

2:45 am

Lizlin

Sounding better and better, Rose.

2:45 am

sprite

babble is buggy atm

2:46 am

sprite

rose, it sounds great. Am so happy for you that you met this guy.

2:46 am

puglet

How is everyone? Iam nervous and have tossed and turned all night and gave up on sleeping-lol

2:46 am

Lizlin

Suspicious me. Suspecting cyber attack based on what Dr G wrote this am.

2:46 am

puglet

thanks Liz

2:47 am

worzel

What's that Liz about the cyber attack? What did Dr G write?

2:47 am

Lizlin

That one IP address was using a huge amount of band width, so he's blocked that.

2:48 am

grannyrose

liz, if you look at the site there is an area which descibes the HPA axis. ( hypothalimus, pituitary gland and adrenal glands). apparently in people with FM all three areas malfunction. and one of the things we end up with, or rather without, is control of body temp.

2:48 am

sprite

ouch rose... reading about that makes me go dingdingding!

2:49 am

Lizlin

Ok Rose. I so hope he can improve your life for you.

2:49 am

sprite

interesting, Liz! I can almost guess, lol.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Then wondering if it's the same ip that's been bothering Rose and others.

2:50 am

grannyrose

oh, no, liz....i hope it has nothing to do with the other night. th4 again, i can almost take an educated guess as to whom it was.

2:50 am

sprite

snap, rose

2:51 am

sprite

and Liz, grin

2:51 am

worzel

So, Liz & Mum, am I right in thinking that the person who emailed me you and a few others may be trying to infiltrate the server or something and set up some kind of attack?

2:51 am

Lizlin

Funny abut all day when babble was down, hubby was suggesting that it was a band width problem.

2:51 am

sprite

your hubby was right, Liz.

2:52 am

grannyrose

ditto, here, liz, with my hubby.

2:52 am

sprite

how sad, if that is the case.

2:52 am

Lizlin

All sounds sad and pretty vindictive to me.

2:52 am

grannyrose

not going to say, worzel. as liz said.

2:53 am

sprite

well, vindictive has that person spot on, for sure

2:53 am

grannyrose

and worzel it wasn't just a few others. it was a lot of others. so that private email was pretty public.

2:54 am

Lizlin

I didn't know that :(

2:54 am

sprite

as many as email addresses could be found for, lol.

2:54 am

worzel

That's fair enough Mum but should I be concerned about my email address? I'm really technically not clever and don't understand things like that. Do I need to change my email address?

2:54 am

puglet

yeah, I got it too and not just once

2:54 am

sprite

just don't open emails from persons you don't know

2:54 am

Lizlin

I almost feel left out! Lol! Not really.

2:55 am

sprite

roflolllll Liz! Trust me, you missed nothing. Less than nothing.

2:55 am

puglet

I did the first time but not after that--I dont even know them

2:55 am

grannyrose

worzel, go to the latest email, spam it. th4 delete the rest.

2:55 am

Lizlin

I know. I REALLY was joking.

2:55 am

sprite

very good, pugs. You don't need that kind of shit.

2:55 am

sprite

I know, Liz :D

2:56 am

grannyrose

we could all send you a copy, liz

2:56 am

Lizlin

So then I'd have it lots of times!

2:56 am

sprite

not gonna risk it, Liz might spam us all, lolol

2:56 am

Lizlin

I'd never do that to you :)

2:56 am

grannyrose

lolol.....would you liz?

2:57 am

grannyrose

ha!!! so sprite, ;-P pfft

2:57 am

Lizlin

Only if you asked me very nicely!

2:57 am

sprite

lol, ok ok I stand corrected!

2:57 am

worzel

Mum thankfully it went straight into junk anyway, and I haven't (yet) received anything else from them. Why would anybody want to do something like that? It's sad to think people can't just come on here for a bit of light banter without being accused of all sorts of crap. I guess I'm too sensitive compared to some of you, but it really did make me think about not coming on here any more

2:57 am

puglet

I dont even know how they got my email anyway

2:58 am

puglet

you cant do that Wor :(

2:58 am

sprite

that is weird indeed, pug. I remember it was being asked for, and not given.

2:58 am

Lizlin

That's weird pugs.

2:59 am

grannyrose

not from me. and guys and gals, there are 2 other people with the same surname, members of their family, who are roped in to forward the emails.so watch out for the same surname.

2:59 am

sprite

worzel, we have been through the mill a couple of times already with this person. Not letting it get under my skin anymore.

2:59 am

Lizlin

Did you ever write it in the chog for anyone?

3:00 am

puglet

I know you didnt Rose---but Iam not worrying over it---I feel sorry for them--must be a lonely life they got

3:00 am

Lizlin

Very true.

3:00 am

worzel

pugs don't worry - I used to get bullied real bad at school - and I'm an old and wise man now and realise that if somebody wants to hide behind a computer then they are even sadder than the face to face bullies and don't deserve the sh*t off my shoe! Sorry for my language but that's the best way to put it for people like them

3:00 am

sprite

I love how my outlook dumps it straight into unwanted email. I can even tell it to trash it too. First time I am happy I am using outlook now and no longer outlook express.

3:01 am

sprite

extensive experience with bullies. Internet is a godsend for people like that. Alas.

3:01 am

puglet

what I think is that , they need a few classes with OO--lol

3:02 am

Lizlin

Bullies love hiding behind computers.

3:02 am

Lizlin

Or any type of hiding.

3:02 am

sprite

ohhhhh that would be awesome to watch, pugs. He'd flatten them in 2 secs tops

3:02 am

puglet

lol, I know :)

3:03 am

Lizlin

Lol I think he would!

3:03 am

worzel

Can I make a suggestion to everybody? Can we draw a line under it now (unless something else happens) and never mention it again? Purely because they, or someone they know, may be watching all this and laughing and thinking "Yay they're still talking about me" and laughing and feeling proud. I suggest we all finish this now by saying a final, collective "Bullying Stops Here"!!

3:03 am

sprite

I say haters will hate. And we are lovers, so yeah.

3:03 am

grannyrose

the Bullying Stops Here

3:04 am

puglet

but its fun picking on you Wor--lol stops here too

3:04 am

Lizlin

Sound like Michael Jackson, sprite. Not a good thing in my opinion!

3:04 am

worzel

oh pugs my dear friend - I don't mind NICE people picking on me!!! xx

3:04 am

Lizlin

Friendly banter!

3:05 am

sprite

oh, that is from long before Michael Jackson, don't worry.

3:05 am

Lizlin

I know!

3:05 am

sprite

we have a saying in dutch... hm no, actually we use the german one. Anyway, it boils down to 'if you love someone, you tease them'.

3:05 am

Lizlin

I just had this awful image of him saying " I'm a lover not a fighter! "

3:06 am

sprite

lol Liz. How about 'make love no war'?

3:06 am

worzel

well I'm all for that Sprite!!

3:07 am

worzel

Now, if I can just find my Viagara . . .

3:07 am

Lizlin

Like that much more :)

3:07 am

sprite

brings to mind that cute lyric part I came across:
"I am not much of a lover
but I'd sure know how to love her
if she only would discover
that I love her'

3:08 am

puglet

Iam surprise Wor you dont have more tummy problems from all that bottle sucking the other night--lol

3:08 am

sprite

viagara? Is that a waterfall of erection aids?

3:08 am

Lizlin

Cute :)

3:09 am

worzel

Ahh, see pugs, I only drink around once a month, and even then in moderation - I can have a good 4 hours on the town and still come home relatively sober!

3:09 am

o-o

you can make all kinds of erections with tinker toys

3:09 am

puglet

LOL OO---good morning friend

3:10 am

grannyrose

oh, my gosh...o-o....roflol

3:10 am

sprite

relatively sober... that is a wide ar4. Does that mean able to find your home, able to untie your shoes, able to rinse your contact lenses or just able to fall in bed and not miss too badly?

3:10 am

sprite

roflolollll o-o! Great to see you.

3:10 am

puglet

and I bet Wor has the whole collection too--lol

3:10 am

Lizlin

Hi o-o

3:12 am

worzel

I have to admit that in my younger days I drank far too much and made far too many mistakes with my behaviour so I now, thankfully, know my limits. Sad thing is, especially in the city I live in, and, to be honest, the country as a whole, people's behaviour has seriously declined with the amount of drink they put in them these days. No, I'm totally able to tie my shoes, when I come home and, if I wanted, could easily cook a meal lol

3:12 am

sprite

this grid is being bitchy to me. It is that whole ocean of vowels, I think. That and the fact that ocean is one of a zillion phantoms today.

3:13 am

sprite

that is not bad at all, worzel

3:13 am

Lizlin

49 left and still 3 blank tiles!

3:13 am

puglet

just means we got to keep you here longer Sprite--:)

3:14 am

sprite

59 left and 4 blanks, and one blank stat

3:14 am

sprite

lol pugs, true :)

3:14 am

puglet

how is it we get you too Liz this long

3:14 am

Lizlin

You'll still finish before me!

3:15 am

sprite

not likely, Liz

3:15 am

Lizlin

Feeling more relaxed perhaps! Will need to list very soon.

3:15 am

worzel

brb - time to wake the lovely Diane and make her a cuppa! xx *mini-poof*

3:16 am

sprite

ok I misread that. I read 'to walk the lovely Diane'.

3:16 am

puglet

things calm down there for you Sprite

3:18 am

sprite

the boy is being difficult again, the girl is of course still shaky and needs to be watched carefully, my love has an inflamed elbow and temper and it is nonstop noise here atm. Otherwise... yeah, lol.

3:18 am

Lizlin

:(

3:19 am

puglet

sounds just hunky-dory--lol what did Rob do to his elbow

3:19 am

sprite

it is all minor stuff, right? Just a lot of it, grin.

3:19 am

sprite

probably hurt it on his canoe trip somehow.

3:20 am

puglet

I thought things were going better for Caya--something else happen

3:21 am

Lizlin

I guess it takes a long time to get confidence back.

3:21 am

sprite

she is eating again, even was hungry yesterday. So that is better. And she is mostly angry now. But still boots of sobbing and all.

3:22 am

sprite

exactly Liz. This hit her hard. And all we can do is be there for her. It stinks. Wish I could still make things right for her.

3:22 am

Lizlin

Poor girl. Hugs to her from someone she doesn't know!

3:22 am

sprite

will extend them :D

3:23 am

Lizlin

2 blank tile!

3:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, just keep in mind the grief process. as i know you will, and, perhaps try and explain them to caya?

3:24 am

sprite

wow nice! Still 4 here, and that blank stat too. 54 left. Going nowhere so fast today.

3:24 am

sprite

will do, rose. Yes, might be interesting for her too. She likes to understand things.

3:24 am

Lizlin

44 here and still not listed

3:25 am

worzel

back!

3:25 am

puglet

wb

3:26 am

worzel

ta

3:26 am

grannyrose

hey, wb, worzel. how's diane's shoulder. last time we chatted with her, it was pretty sore.

3:26 am

sprite

going strong, Liz!

3:27 am

puglet

Rose, have you heard from Joso yet

3:27 am

worzel

it's much better now. She thinks it was down to an exercise regime she started xx

3:27 am

grannyrose

sprite, take the mystery and uncertainty out of the equation, caya will handle it even better.

3:27 am

3:42 am

grannyrose

ex5, no longer in country of birth

3:42 am

sprite

tsk rose, that is a competitor, and that doesn't start with na.

3:42 am

Dachef

ex5: used to be a cow dropping.

3:42 am

sprite

thanks rose. Never thought to try that... thought it was an abbrev.

3:42 am

sprite

roflolllll good one, Dachef :D

3:43 am

grannyrose

lolol, dachef, wb mate. babble behaving at present, so nice to see you.

3:43 am

Dachef

yes, seems to be. Soooo frustrating yesterday.

3:44 am

sprite

seems like drG found the guilty party and banned the IP address.

3:44 am

grannyrose

without going into detail, it seems it was deliberate.

3:44 am

Dachef

oh really? Right then. Lynch mob organised.

3:45 am

sprite

*loves Dachef*

3:45 am

grannyrose

*waves frantically* wait for meeeee..

3:45 am

Dachef

I know some people who 'owe me a favour', if you know what I mean.

3:46 am

sprite

hehehe very good

3:47 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, actually getting tight in the chest from laughing...

3:47 am

sprite

lol rose, that is good for you. Enjoy it. And breathe.....

3:48 am

Dachef

in all seriousness, was there a particular reason for an attack on babble? Some particular aversion to yellow boxes? A phobia of word lists?

3:48 am

grannyrose

i think it was in retaliation. i'm afraid i set the cat among the pigeons the other night.

3:49 am

sprite

if it is who we think, it was a fatal combination of self-importance and vindictiveness. And in that case it is best ignored as much as possible.

3:49 am

Dachef

ah. so it was your fault? Right then boys: this one.

3:50 am

Dachef

oh, I see. Followed that a bit the other day. Got bored with it and switched the chog off.

3:50 am

grannyrose

*ducks under the bed, hands over eyes* you can't see me....

3:50 am

sprite

some people can't seem to learn to share their lego, Dachef. They think that being their friend means you cannot be friends with other people. Not Rose's fault she has a big heart, lol.

3:50 am

sprite

nah rose, I'll explain to the boys and send them in the right direction :)

3:51 am

grannyrose

sorry, dachef, i was pretty cross about it. but a lot of water has been passed since....and we are trying to, and succeeding, to move on.

3:52 am

sprite

babble has survived worse than this. Forward and onward, people :) Revenons a nos moutons and all that.

3:52 am

sprite

and this grid is still a bitch.

3:52 am

Dachef

and anyway - sharing lego? No. Can't be done. Must be a man thing. man rules: don't touch a nother man's 1. woman/partner 2. drink of choice 3. automobile 4. lego

3:52 am

grannyrose

i don't hate, just get cross.

3:52 am

grannyrose

oh, my, roflolol

3:53 am

sprite

*sips Dachef's drink* Hm great choice, mate.
*Grabs some lego* Nananananaaanaaa

3:53 am

grannyrose

and flees in his car, leaving the woman beside the road....hehehe

3:54 am

sprite

:D

3:54 am

Dachef

and right there in 4 boxes is the story of my life. Sigh.

3:55 am

grannyrose

awww, here dachef, you can the little man's head back.

3:55 am

grannyrose

but his pants belong to me....

3:56 am

sprite

lol Dachef. *hug* With a sense of humour like yours, you will always be fine.

3:56 am

Dachef

In the Netherlands, citizens with disabilities receive public money to pay for sexual services up to 12 times a year.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

6:39 am

crosshair

lol, put those receipts with you tax return lol

6:39 am

rubyfoo

does being an unattractive nerd count as a disability?

6:40 am

rubyfoo

does the gov't provide the surrogates?

6:41 am

rubyfoo

6:49 am

JBV

looks like babble is back to normal today, thank goodness

6:49 am

JBV

I never understand what makes it act up like that, but I liked dr.god's message about the "temper tantrum"

6:49 am

crosshair

yes, yesterday was pretty well a write off with it being down all morning. Dr. G found the issue though, so all is well.

6:51 am

crosshair

he said there seemed to be a lot of server traffic originating from a single i.p addy. When i used to admin for gamespy, we would get people running very slow computers from a long distance which in turn would result in high frame rates within the server thus bogging down the entire server for all. I am not sure if this server works in that fashion

6:52 am

crosshair

we used to toss anyone pinging over 200 frames per second

6:52 am

crosshair

but that was with lots of video rendering and not a word game like this

6:52 am

JBV

thanks crossy, that went right over my head, but i'm glad you understand it : )

6:53 am

crosshair

for everything I know, there are ten thing i do not.:)

6:54 am

JBV

i'm sure that's true of everyone - not everyone will admit it

6:54 am

crosshair

any server is only as fast as the slowest person connecting to it:)

6:55 am

JBV

by the way, we haven't been chatting lately, but I think we have at least one thing in common

6:55 am

crosshair

and as we know, lots of jumbo profile picture will knock the heck out of the babble server

6:55 am

crosshair

what is that, JBV?

6:55 am

JBV

I've been taking courses at the university for 3 years now - a total of 6 courses - wonderful experience

6:56 am

JBV

I'm not pursuing a degree, though, just auditing

6:56 am

JBV

but I've heard you talk about the "youngsters" in your classes - same here

6:56 am

crosshair

yaaa for JBV!!! i just wish i had gone back decades ago

6:57 am

crosshair

Like i have been saying ,JBV; I love being the "old fart" in class busting the grading curve and have the kids just look at me and wonder

6:57 am

JBV

and having meaningful discussions with the prof - (who is often younger than I am, too!)

6:58 am

crosshair

my English final exam i just finished received a very nice mark of 101.5% :))

MollyL

MLF, go read your Bible : P

lol, I do not remember that word, after many years in sunday school, singing in church choir for years - don't know where I spent more time during those years

10:19 am

jaxx7

The truth is Molly that we are all going to h*** in a handcart when people don't recognise quotes from the Bible. LOL

10:21 am

jaxx7

My grand-daughter the other day at a funeral did not know the words to All Things Bright and Beautiful. School assemblies are a thing of the past now and so it seems are Sunday schools. So sad.

10:21 am

MollyL

I'd be willing to be a majority of people do not recognize Bible verses anymore. But they can surely tell you about the latest funny thing on Facebook.

MLFAN17

jennifer gardner name one of hr daughter's se 6/24but ends in ine i think?

10:23 am

jaxx7

You are right, of course, but don't you think it is sad?

10:24 am

jaxx7

Se****ine means angelic but a se**** is a major angel like Gabriel.

10:25 am

MollyL

Yes, lots of sad things nowadays. People don't read real books, people can't be bothered to spell out entire words, people don't know words to hymns or their national anthems...I could go on...

10:26 am

jaxx7

It is also losing a certainty in this world. No wonder kids are adrift

10:27 am

jaxx7

there is nothing so satisfying as belting out a hymn or carol.

10:30 am

jaxx7

I notice that today's carol singers, who turn up at the door, think I wish you a happy Christmas is a carol.

10:32 am

jaxx7

Now I am feeling really old. My husband is trying to make the bedroom tidy by sorting through the clutter of a lifetime and I am feeling guilty as well as old. i am off to help.

10:53 am

periwinkle

it was not a beach day so I did not hand around long

10:53 am

crosshair

what are beach tags?

10:53 am

periwinkle

tags you buy to get on some beaches.

10:54 am

MollyL

Oh, every day is a beach day : D

10:54 am

crosshair

interesting. never heard of the, .Here, if you want to go to the beach, you go.

10:54 am

periwinkle

if you buy them before memorial day they are MUCH cheaper. $3.50 for the season vs. $15.00

10:55 am

may I have stats for the E in the first column pls

10:55 am

NM

10:55 am

MollyL

Not all US beaches have them, just the more crowded ones. And you usually have to pay for parking no matter where you go.

10:55 am

periwinkle

ty

10:56 am

periwinkle

I don't have to pay for parking on the street. I just make sure I get there early.

10:56 am

Riverdance

must be similar to the beach we have in my town - it is a small lake with a sandy beach that is maintained by the town. For residents they charge $2.00 per car for the season and $10 for the boat launch for the season.

10:56 am

MollyL

Lots of beach towns have metered street parking in the summer.

10:56 am

periwinkle

no charge for Atlantic City beach which is right next to where I go but the casinos are there and the beach is much more crowded and you have to pay for parking

10:57 am

Riverdance

cheap enough for use of the facilities - picnic table, stand up grills (must provide own charcoal, bathrooms and parking all included

10:57 am

periwinkle

I love the beach. The sound of the ocean soothes me

10:57 am

Riverdance

our beaches on the ocean have no charge but very expensive to park

10:57 am

MollyL

That sounds reasonable to me, River.

10:58 am

Riverdance

and that small amount gives kids in town a job for the summer manning the booth and raking and cleaning up for the next day

10:58 am

MollyL

I like the beach in the off season.

10:59 am

Riverdance

and if you are not a resident, it is $5 per car daily. That is still reasonable.

10:59 am

periwinkle

me too MOlly, I wish I had a beach h ouse or at least knew someone who had one.

11:00 am

11:57 am

You are kidding, no? Snow in May???

11:58 am

3:34 pm

Soodle

Ooops. I'm sorry.

3:35 pm

Soodle

Whew.. Nobody noticed.

3:36 pm

MollyL

O-O there is always someone watching O-O

3:37 pm

Soodle

Ooooh-hooo Oooooh-hooo. Hi Molls

3:39 pm

MollyL

ΘΘ The eyes of Babble are everywhere...mwahahaha
ΘΘ

3:41 pm

Soodle

Any luck on the lottery recently, Molly?

3:41 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, that's why I'm still hanging around playing Babble : D

3:42 pm

Soodle

Yup. Me too..

3:42 pm

MollyL

Actually, I did win seven bucks last week (don't everyone line up to be my friend at once)

3:44 pm

Soodle

And I won €14 yesterday. Gambler that I am, I re-invested. Stand by...

3:46 pm

Soodle

Molly, have you watched the BBC series 'Sherlock', with the truly delightful Benedict Cumberbatch? I can highly, highly recommend it.

3:46 pm

MollyL

No, but I think that is one that one of my kids recommended.

3:48 pm

Soodle

Give it a whirl. It's sassy, modern & really good. AND it's got BC.

3:48 pm

MollyL

I'll try it. I'm not much for BBC tv. Downton was the only thing I watched and after last season, I'm pretty done with that.

3:50 pm

jaxx7

I have never watched Downton but I have been to Highclere where it is filmed. I have watched Sherlock and would recommend it.

3:51 pm

jaxx7

Molly, does that mean you have never watched the Musketeers. You have missed a treat and four gorgeous men as well

3:54 pm

jaxx7

Hi, soodle

3:56 pm

Soodle

Hi Jaxx :-). Tell me more about theMusketeers.... Is Benedict (Cheekbones) Cumberbatch in it?

3:58 pm

Soodle

The first 2 series of Downton was wonderful. A bit like Upstairs Downstairs of years ago. But, inexplicably, it just fizzled out for me.

4:01 pm

MollyL

Not inexplicable for me. They lost three very strong main characters and the writing was terrible in Season 3.

4:01 pm

jaxx7

No, I am sorry to say. the three men who play the Musketeers are fantastic but the man that plays D'Artagnan is the one for me. Wow. The whole series is loosely based on the book. It is full of beautiful scenery other than the 4 men. The new Dr Who, peter Capaldi plays Cardinal Richlieu and is a full blooded villain. if you get a chance do watch it. It was a Sunday evening must for my husband and I.

4:02 pm

MollyL

Sorry, I meant Season 4.

4:04 pm

Soodle

I'll put it on my list, Jaxx thanks. And Molly, Downton lost me mid Season 3.

4:07 pm

jaxx7

The second series of the Musketeers is in production. So is the second one of Atlantis. That is a take on Greek history and myth. It has a comedic side with the part of Hercules who is living on past exploits but is now portly and anything but heroic. The main character Jason is a real looker and usually comes out on top in each episode. There is a poisonous Queen, stepmother of the Princess, Ariadne, who is the love interest. Nothing is in sequence but it doesn't matter, a rollicking series well worth seeing.

4:09 pm

jaxx7

I recommend you 'Google' them. Molly, don't give up on the BBC. Remember they produced Luther!

4:19 pm

Soodle

Ahhhh! Luther. Aaaah Idris.... What a beautiful man....

4:20 pm

neniacampbell

hi again!

4:21 pm

Soodle

Jaxx, I was noodling around Netflix & SkyGo, looking for something decent to watch & I happened upon Playhouse Presents. There are some gems on there.

4:21 pm

Soodle

Hi nenia :-)

4:23 pm

MollyL

*Imagines Ruby and Soodle watching Luther with their little drool cups*

4:25 pm

Soodle

Don't forget the Cabana Boy with his enormous.... fan, cooling the pair of us down during our hot flashes, Moll.

4:27 pm

MollyL

See, I was thinking you and Ruby could do better than imaginary Babble cabana boys and perhaps might score some young French men in Ruby's village.

4:29 pm

MollyL

Of course the French men would have enormous...fans too.

4:30 pm

Soodle

But the triumvirate would be incomplete without you, Molly. Thoughts become things....

4:35 pm

MollyL

Here is another little nugget for your inner self Soodle...worry is a misuse of imagination.

4:35 pm

neniacampbell

I'm missing two of the 7 letter words

4:36 pm

neniacampbell

I have the pe 7/36 one

4:39 pm

Soodle

Nenia. The illegal Irish hooch with a cons added in the middle. Po 7/36

4:42 pm

MollyL

You can always count on Soodle for things like that.

4:42 pm

periwinkle

pr6 pls

4:42 pm

neniacampbell

I don't get it :X

4:43 pm

neniacampbell

pr6 is a peremptory fiscal charge

4:44 pm

periwinkle

ty

4:45 pm

MollyL

Ah, I was right...a Google of "irish hooch" is sufficient to that clue

4:45 pm

Soodle

Po* is a utensil for cooking. Plus **, she, ( masc/fem), plus to go into a room is to **ter it.

4:46 pm

Soodle

As usual, I made a hames of that clue....

4:47 pm

gramma

2 left...ox 5 and te 7?

4:47 pm

MollyL

What is a hames?

4:47 pm

neniacampbell

YAY i got it!

4:47 pm

gramma

Is it part of a horse collar?

4:49 pm

gramma

got the ox

4:49 pm

Soodle

If you make a hames of something, you make a horse's ass of it.

4:49 pm

neniacampbell

cool!

4:49 pm

neniacampbell

i learned a new word :)

4:49 pm

MollyL

All these new horsey words...gee gee, hames...

4:51 pm

gramma

Done! Clues?

4:51 pm

Soodle

We all learn something new every day :-D

4:51 pm

Soodle

Well done Gramma! Woot.

4:52 pm

gramma

Other than the last 2 it seemed rather breezy

4:52 pm

MollyL

Swear to God, if I ever visit the UK or Ireland, I am going to carry around a little notebook and convey to people that I am mute. That way, I won't get in trouble.

4:53 pm

gramma

Molly when we went to Ireland I wrote all kinds of expressions down in my notebook

4:53 pm

gramma

muchamucha (no difference)

4:54 pm

gramma

mushy peas - when I asked, I was told it was an American dish. Really?

4:54 pm

MollyL

Um no, mushy peas is nowhere near an American dish.

4:54 pm

gramma

Stringers - really self explanatory. Obviously, a weed whacker

4:55 pm

gramma

And everything was brilliant! Correct change at the gas station...Brilliant!

4:56 pm

MollyL

That is nice that you wrote down all those expressions. As I said, my notebook will be for conversation, as I am going to fake being a mute so as not to get into trouble with words and phrases.

4:56 pm

gramma

Brilliant seemed to be on par with so many words from okay to thank you to....whatever

4:57 pm

MollyL

Brilliant is one of those over used words, like awesome.

4:57 pm

Soodle

No no no! Musha musha translates as ' ah! Sure, everything will be OK'. 'Brilliant' is a generic term for anything which is not catastrophic.

4:57 pm

gramma

One of the best was when the inn keeper said "If you're going to lay in my bed, you must pay the lady."

4:58 pm

MollyL

Musha musha = there, there

5:01 pm

Soodle

That's it, Molly. It's soothing. Normally reserved for mothers to their babies, but occasionally used for American tourists. :-)

5:02 pm

MollyL

Wirra wirra is another one that got handed down to me.

5:02 pm

gramma

Should we take the ferry or go around? It's much a much a, she said.

5:04 pm

Soodle

Much of a muchness, Gramma?

5:05 pm

Soodle

(Normally preceded by Yerra...)

5:10 pm

Soodle

All this vernacular has jaded me. I'm off to the Soodle pit. Night all.

5:13 pm

gramma

Yep! That was it. Much a muchness

5:14 pm

gramma

Well my sweetie is home. I'm going to make a cocktail and visit.

5:17 pm

MollyL

Much of a muchness is a Brit saying, not an Irish one, I think.

5:19 pm

Soodle

Feeble voice from the Soodle Pit begs to differ. But I could be wrong.

5:19 pm

MollyL

Oh bless the feeble voice, and the pit it lies in.

5:19 pm

trentsnana

Hi all. Clue for the 1st column e, please? Just not seeing it!!

5:20 pm

trentsnana

Stats would be fine

5:20 pm

MollyL

Fencing sword

5:20 pm

MollyL

Sorry, clued before I saw your stats request.

5:20 pm

trentsnana

Either one is fine.

5:21 pm

MollyL

How is the world's cutest baby TNana?

5:24 pm

trentsnana

Oh, she's great!! We were worried for awhile because she didn't walk when she should have, but now she is.

5:24 pm

trentsnana

She is 21 months old and talks a blue streak!

5:28 pm

MollyL

That sounds like lots of fun. She is such a cutie.

5:29 pm

trentsnana

I am trying to change my icon to a recent picture, but having trouble...

5:30 pm

MollyL

No, there it is. Bubbles!

5:31 pm

MollyL

Wow, they don't stay babies long, do they.

5:32 pm

trentsnana

Oh, I cannot see it. It still shows my old one for me.

5:32 pm

trentsnana

No, she has grown up waaaay too fast.

5:33 pm

trentsnana

Hope it's not too large of a pixel for the chog....

5:33 pm

trentsnana

Picture/pixels, that is

5:33 pm

MollyL

No, it's perfect. Try opening up your profile and right clicking then hitting RELOAD.

5:34 pm

trentsnana

I have a Mac, I think that is different?

5:35 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, probably. Sorry, I don't speak Mac. : D

5:35 pm

trentsnana

And I don't have a "refresh" key, either

5:36 pm

trentsnana

Hmmm....not getting the new pic. Seems I have this problem every time I change my icon.

5:37 pm

MollyL

Try Command (Apple key) + R

5:38 pm

trentsnana

There she is, thanks, Molly!

5:38 pm

MollyL

*Can Google search with the best of them*

5:38 pm

trentsnana

When I go back to my profile, it's still the old one, though.

5:38 pm

trentsnana

Strange.

5:40 pm

trentsnana

Anyway, she is doing great and thanks for asking.

5:41 pm

MollyL

Vicarious thrills, I'm a grandma wannabe.

5:48 pm

trentsnana

Molly - I just added a photo to Flickr of her on a horse. Our favorite pic of her to date. Love the satisfied look on her face.

5:49 pm

funhs

not enough e's

5:50 pm

trentsnana

Not fond of puzzles with so many vowels!

5:52 pm

MollyL

Ahhhh, that picture is adorable. She really does have an expressive face. I love the picture of her in her car where she is waving to her adoring public.

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

waht happened? i stared a grid this morning. This is not the same grid.

6:10 pm

MollyL

?? When I came on this morning, it was this grid.

6:11 pm

trentsnana

Me, too. Same one I've been working on all day.

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh no. i just came back and i had no words entered. this is wierd.

6:13 pm

MollyL

TO has computer gremlins

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have something, that's for sure. I finished yesterday.

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

so what's the deal with the server?

6:25 pm

uusue2

hi all!

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi sue!

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi sue!

6:25 pm

uusue2

hi TO!

6:27 pm

MollyL

The server...something about an IP address flooding the server with too much data, according to Dr. God.

6:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

a cyber attack?

6:28 pm

uusue2

huh, sounds almost like a DOS (Denial of Service) attack

6:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes!

6:28 pm

MollyL

Dr. God's exact words were "excessive server traffic"

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmm, i wonder how that can happen? via the chog or the puzzle?

6:31 pm

uusue2

I don't see how it *could* really happen through the chog or the puzzle; could be something sending a lot of odd requests (not via the normal channels) or something

6:31 pm

uusue2

although I will admit that my knowledge of such things is a bit vague

6:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

it does sound like dos.

6:32 pm

MollyL

Kind of hard to believe that someone would "target" this site.

6:32 pm

uusue2

I think a lot of those attacks don't care what they're attacking, they're just looking for vulnerabilities

6:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

hows everything with you , sue? frank doing ok?

6:34 pm

mkg

hi all. any clues for the 7s? dont have any

6:34 pm

uusue2

he's doing all right but not great; now that his immune system's recovered from the chemo, his Crohn's is acting up (we didn't even know he had Crohn's until the cancer surgery)

6:34 pm

uusue2

so he's in pain a lot, trying to figure out what to eat that won't make him feel worse

6:35 pm

MollyL

I think it's grossly unfair that Frank has both Celiac and Crohn's.

6:35 pm

uusue2

mkg, I just have the pe7, something you do to atone for sins

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear that.

6:35 pm

mkg

ty got that one. ty sue.

6:36 pm

uusue2

yes, it kind of sucks, TO, but at least there's no sign of the cancer recurring

6:39 pm

mkg

any clues for the e in middle of grid? or the E in second column?

6:39 pm

uusue2

e in middle is et6/21, a gas

6:40 pm

uusue2

for the e to its left I have ex5/22, someone living in a foreign country

6:40 pm

mkg

ty! didnt have it sue. ty ty ty

6:41 pm

mkg

i dont get the et. i put in and doesnt take. hmmm

6:42 pm

uusue2

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think i will take a break and run over to the library. bbl

6:43 pm

mkg

i have e and then the two letters that make a unique english sound, then more vowels. what am i missing?

6:43 pm

phandmd

good evening everyone, (said with a very stuffy nose)

6:43 pm

uusue2

6:44 pm

mkg
