3:35 am

I had put dinner into the over, all prepared and told him to do one thing only, turn ONE know on the oven at 3PM. We practiced about a dozen times
3:35 am

When I got home at 5, he had turned on the oven, re-adjusted both dials AND taken out the chicken and sweet otatoes.

He ate a sandwich for dinner
3:36 am

He blamed me for not explaining carefully (and I had even written it down)
3:36 am
grannyrose

oh dear....what was he thinking?
3:37 am
grannyrose

or rather was he thinking at all?
3:37 am
rubyfoo

I refuse t be blackmailed into never going out
3:37 am
rubyfoo

not thinking or had a very active (and hateful) subconscious
3:38 am
grannyrose

ah well, if he wants sandwiches for dinner...let him have sandwiches. but that spoils it for you, because it is also your dinner which has not been cooked.
3:38 am
rubyfoo

It's very unpleasant and scary at the same time. It is hard to feel sorry for him consistently
3:39 am
rubyfoo

oh, and I had to hear that when I'm gone, Rufie is heartbroken. Please!!!@
3:39 am
grannyrose

it's hard work, dear. and you still aren't sure if it is deliberate or a genuine mistake.
3:39 am
rubyfoo

Even if it's a mistake, he doesn't have to blame me
3:41 am
grannyrose

well he's mr perfect, didn't you know that? he wouldn't make the mistake. so it has to be you. i wonder if there is a touch of narcissism.
3:41 am

I have worked way too much in the last 2 weeks and I am burned out.
5:48 am

Yes, Crossy, we have our first snowfall in the first week of November typically, but we have several summery days to enjoy now.
5:50 am

This is my favorite time. Already the sugar maples are turning and the forest on the mountain are exploding in a riot of colours:)
5:51 am

Yes, the leaves are changing colors here and should be at peak in 1-2 wks.
5:51 am

cooler here but no color changes yet- a few tomatoes still ripening
5:52 am
Scrabbler

I have some green tomatoes too--my first and only of the season. It was dismal for tomatoes this summer. Too wet. I need to plant in containers next year.
5:52 am

5:55 am

we had a similar sized one in Massa - wolf something- cant quite recall- i have never seen it elsewhere

No offense Une. Cat people know cats are bizarre and hilarious that's what makes them so lovable. And, of course, cat people are bizarre and hilarious as well. :)

i don't understand something
7:59 am
josephjames

caries are cavities and when that is here it accepts it. but it doesn't accept cary or carie or carey so what on earth is the singular supposed to be?
8:02 am
grant

diabetes is singular
8:05 am
Judi

Salutations, global inhabitants!
8:06 am
josephjames

so if i have one cavity, it's caries?
8:06 am
MollyL

Caries is both singular and plural, according to a medical dictionary
8:06 am
grant

I believe so
8:06 am
josephjames

oh
8:07 am
grant

rabies also singular
8:08 am
josephjames

yes but cavities are such specifically identifiable things, it is weirder. you would not think of having "a rabie" or "a diabete", you either have the thing or you don't
8:09 am

I never chat until I finish the grid though.

That is my downfall. i get rolling in the chog and the grids slows as a result:/

8:49 pm

right now I am doing "found poetry" and short story analysis and writing my own sort story in a weeks time.
8:50 pm

Starting is easy, you just hold your arm over the page, open up a vein, and bleed:)

8:53 pm
gremlinn

I've been writing a story for 14 years - it's up to about 1.6 million words probably. Sometimes I wonder how difficult it would be to learn to actually write well and make a significant rehaul of it before publishing.
8:53 pm
LeslieAnn

indeed
8:53 pm
wht

There once was a Babbler named Crossy
Who was afraid his mind was getting mossy.
Being no fool
He went back to school
To make his stories more glossy
8:53 pm
crosshair

Though thanks to him, I did two marvelous papers so far:)
8:53 pm

Well, that's not 14 years straight... I've had a few stretches of 1+ years without working on it. :)
8:54 pm

you wrote a phone book:)
8:54 pm
LeslieAnn

nicely down wht
8:54 pm
gremlinn

Nah, it's fiction. Fantasy + sci-fi stuff.
8:54 pm
LeslieAnn

yeah that's like a whole series grem!
8:54 pm
LeslieAnn

chop it up and sell the rights to hbo!
8:54 pm
crosshair

Problem is, gremlinn, it will be so expensive to print and put out there that no one will touch it unless the fist 350 pages or so are a hit.
8:55 pm
gremlinn

I can't because it's not actually in book format, it's interactive fiction packaged in a huge text-based game.
8:55 pm
crosshair

How many chunks can you make of it?
8:55 pm
crosshair

wow
8:55 pm
crosshair

so, like the old M.U.D games
8:55 pm
gremlinn

It can't be divided, unfortunately....
8:55 pm
gremlinn

Yeah, somewhat. Just wordier.
8:56 pm
crosshair

I recall those fondly, but the sad truth is sometimes you cannot go back.
8:56 pm
gremlinn

It has had signficant feature creep. I originally thought it would be about 2% as large as it *already* is.
8:57 pm
crosshair

It is like listening to the old radio show. They were brilliant, they were funny, but somewhere along the way we lost our ear for it.
8:57 pm
crosshair

Is it anywhere near a solid alpha attempt?
8:57 pm
gremlinn

Ah, well, there are still podcasts.
8:58 pm
gremlinn

There's a demo that's free to play online, but it's not all that much of it. Still, many hours of play probably.
8:59 pm

lol! love the limerick, wht!
8:59 pm

So, it is out there. that is a good thing.
9:00 pm

Hehe, that sounds good. I'll be happy just to be done eventually!

Now a proper poem and give me some of that stream of consciousness jazz;)

You could always will it to your kids...:)
9:02 pm

I'll put a poem that's part of the game in my profile. :)
9:02 pm

It's mainly there as an embedded set of clues for a puzzle, but I liked how it turned out.

that is a very good one as well

Hi lexi it combines the grid and the babble clues on one page and enables you to send the words straight to the clue list as you type them. Very useful. Try googling babble expert. I would add a link but last time I did I mucked up the chat log sizing and got in trouble!
