1:06 am
stidmama
I am, mcurl, but was so sick I slept from 8 last night until noon today... Better now, so ate a little and will be asleep soon.
1:06 am
stidmama
how are you? I hope this cold of mine didn't get transferred to anyone else... Tom is okay so far, and so is Grant.
1:07 am
grannyrose
poor stid. xoxox
1:07 am

you needed the rest then and I'm glad you feel better
1:08 am

Yes, I did. But lost a perfectly good day! LOL will just take it easy again tomorrow and catch up on Monday.

1:11 am
stidmama
my Tom made me home-made cream soda! It is lovely for cool, rainy days like today. He will bottle the next batch of beer tomorrow... he is loving this foray into brewing.
1:12 am
rururocks
Sounds like he's hoppy
1:12 am
stidmama
I think so.
1:14 am
mcurlschool
my hubby loves to brew his own beer as well!
1:15 am
mcurlschool
I'll have to bring you a bottle of this last batch -- a Christmat Wit.
1:16 am
stidmama
It's a nice hobby -- thanks to Grant, Tom has rekindled this. I am not a very big beer drinker, but Tom has an appreciation for the chemistry. And I love the microbiology of it.
1:17 am
rururocks
I can't drink beer it gives me headaches
1:18 am
mcurlschool
I don't care for it either but D enjoys the brewing. He's hoping to eventually take the plunge and concoct his own recipe
1:19 am
stidmama
I found that the gluten-free beers are more palatable for me, perhaps because they are wheat-free. I also know that I am not all that fond of hops. :-) Someday, I want to try mead...
1:21 am
gapeach
May I please have a clue for any 'ar' word? Thanks
1:21 am
rururocks
well.. that kind of eliminates a lot of beers stid :D
1:22 am

Thanks much, ru.

1:23 am
stidmama
it really does, ruru - I have a few favorites from the "Standing Stone" brewery in Ashland, and a couple GF brands, but otherwise I avoid beers.
1:23 am
rururocks
I have friends that live in Ashland I should ask them if they've tried it
1:25 am
stidmama
I suspect they have, they are a very good restaurant. We always take my grandfather there when we visit. :-D
1:27 am
rururocks
I kind of like that area.. it is a bit hippie-ish though
1:28 am
stidmama
Yes, it is. But that is why it is comfortable for me -- and my grandparents. They once lived on a commune a little ways north of Ashland, but when they got older they needed access to more services. Because of the free spirits, the town has many restaurants that are safe for me to eat in!
1:30 am
rururocks
I bought a nice jacket there a few years ago.. visiting my friends..nice weather there
1:31 am
stidmama
maybe someday we can meet up there -- catch a couple plays, NOT drink lithia water *classic yuck face* and enjoy the scenery.
1:34 am
rururocks
there's good music there too in the big theater..
1:35 am
stidmama
:-) sounds like a possibility, then.
1:35 am
stidmama
well, I am down to 50. I think I will head out and leave the rest for tomorrow.

Hello, Dachef :-)
3:47 am
sprite
don't worry, zooz :) This happens to me quite often. Always makes me feel so stupid.
3:48 am
Dachef
I think its a conspiracy. Must be. How many times have you been mising one word from a tile and then you check the list and its a 4 letter word that you KNOW 100% that you entered first.
3:48 am
grannyrose
poor zooz....it's not your fault....you are probably typing faster than enable. your word is good.
3:49 am
grannyrose
oh, my, dachef....too true
3:49 am
sprite
gremlins in the keyboard!
Yeah, that happens a lot. With me, it is either a typo, or words entered during a lag or the hiccup.
3:49 am

I agee, Dachef.I know I have entered a word..only to find it has not taken.
3:50 am

4:07 am

zooz, you are so close. sprite and i have discovered a closeness only available between identical twins.
4:08 am
zoozzoom
See you both did it again//lol
4:08 am
sprite
deep-down we always felt the loss, but we didn't know... if it had not been for babble, we'd never have found eachother again.
4:09 am

*eye-roll* of course we did
4:09 am

4:12 am

I can not canoe to save my life.
4:13 am

zooz, the only other woman who knew my thoughts and heart-felt desires died several years ago. sprite stepped up to the mark and has been sister of my soul ever since.
4:13 am

Rare that happens, Rose. So it shows it was meant to be :-)
4:14 am
zoozzoom
I bet it is great fun once you get the hang of it, Sprite.
4:14 am
grannyrose
we are so fortunate if we find just ONE companion of our soul's...we have found a second.
4:15 am
sprite
yes it is, zooz. Very relaxing and you see nature from a whole other perspective.
4:16 am
zoozzoom
Yes I can imagine , Sprite. I did enjoy it when I was young and we had a couple of boats one being a long boat.It was wonderful.
4:16 am
sprite
sounds good to me, zooz! :)
4:16 am
grannyrose
to find two companions on our life's journey is extraordinary...not including our spouses.
4:16 am

ain't that the truth, rose.
4:17 am

Very true, Rose. Not found mine yet..lol

zooz...it will happen dear friend....
4:20 am
sprite
with a heart as loving as yours, zooz, it would be a shame if it didn't happen.
4:21 am
zoozzoom
This heart has been broken a couple of times before, Sprite (of which I am still suffering) very reluctant to let that happen again.
4:21 am
zoozzoom
But still onwards and upwards!
4:22 am
sprite
good man! And yeah, that was me when I met my husband. Absolutely adamant not to let anyone close again, guarding my heart. But he was unstoppable, thank God.
4:23 am
zoozzoom
It is nice to hear a story like that, Sprite.It does show there are others who are out there and right for you!
4:24 am

oh yes, zooz. Never doubt it.

Believe it or not, it's an extension of the 6 before it

Nope, that's the 7/36 (sorry)

hi all
6:09 am
MollyL
Sorry, add consumed to the 4 before it
6:09 am
suefrad625
read back some. Zooz I met my fiance on Plenty of Fish online dating 8 year ago. I went through a few throw backs, but then i only met for coffee. Online dating allows you to begin the weeding process even before you meet.
6:10 am
MollyL
*Gets more coffee*
6:11 am
MollyL
Yes, and good for you, but online dating is not for everyone
6:12 am
MollyL
I have several friends who tried it and had very bad experiences
6:13 am
suefrad625
yes molly, that is why i kept it to coffee for 1/2 hr.
6:14 am
suefrad625
i just dont drink and drive or want to meat anyone at the singles church thing. and i did not misspell meet.
6:15 am
suefrad625
i seems that here in the south where i live, you have to drive everywhere, meeting someone is harder then in NY.
6:15 am
MollyL
And that is a smart thing to do. I have seen many versions of on line meetings, be they dates or just friend things, that rush right into overnight visits. And that can turn into something very uncomfortable with someone you have never met in person.
6:16 am
mattygroves
Thanks Molly. Could have sworn I'd tried that
6:16 am
suefrad625
That my dear, happens in bars all the time. That is why I will only meet people when I am sober :)
6:16 am
MollyL
TITT (THought I'd Tried That) common Babble issue

6:17 am
jwr
I will risk the PB: couldn't resist trying "upwent"
6:18 am
suefrad625
lol in this game, you never know what will work.
6:18 am
MollyL
Well, not just hit and run between men and women. I see people arranging to meet friends on line all the time and the first meeting is an overnight stay at their house. And it can turn into an awkward thing if the people in question are not the friendship match in person that they were on line.
6:19 am
suefrad625
That could end up in death. No, i just mean it a nice way to meet a potential partner. I did end up with a great many friends, end still cherish them.
6:20 am
jwr
hi sue, molly - I like TITT - is it trademarked yet (should be posted on Sprite's profile list)
6:21 am
suefrad625
I was thinking the same thing jwr
6:22 am
MollyL
I'm not sure I understand it. I mean, if you tried it then you'd have it, right?
6:22 am
jwr
I can see why you make friends easily, sue.
6:23 am
suefrad625
why jwr?
6:23 am
suefrad625
tried what molly
6:24 am
MollyL
Anyway Sue, I'm glad you found someone nice and I'm glad you are careful about how you interact with people you meet on line. (Tried it meaning tried the word, as in thought I'd tried that)
6:24 am
jwr
my ? was for Molly.
6:25 am
mattygroves
I think that was about me - I said I could have sworn I tried a word - not online dating ;)
6:26 am
jwr
I think I got tangled up in three conversations -- typical babb.
6:26 am
suefrad625
it is also a great way to meet people how like the same things. eg hiking groups, exercise groups, camping... you get the idea.
6:26 am
suefrad625
lol matty
6:27 am
suefrad625
how many un words?
6:28 am
MollyL
It's unfortunate that people so rarely meet those with similar interests at actual face to face events these days.
6:28 am
suefrad625
it is kind of nerve racking to go out alone
6:30 am
suefrad625
ok, i found 3 un words. 2 start with the same 5 letters one is un** itself
6:30 am
suefrad625
what are the stats for them. i have un4,5,6
6:32 am
MollyL
I used to love to ask people their "how you met" story. There were so many romantic responses. Now, the answer is so often "we met on line"
6:32 am
suefrad625
do you all know the cat toys on the sticks, my kitten love walking around with the toy in her mouth and dragging the stick. If i take it off the stick, no go.
6:33 am
suefrad625
i guess you can look at online like a friend fixing you up for a "blind date".
6:34 am
MollyL
Who knew, years ago, that there would be a way to fix yourself up for a blind date : D

i had a date lined up for Friday night 8/4/06 but got canceled. I had spoken to Dale and was planning on meeting him if my date didnt work out. Well the guy called and canceled, so i called Dale to see what he was doing. He was at the hospital in my town with his son, who was moving and smashed his toe, so i asked if while he was waiting we could meet. he said he was a mess and would meet later. I told him i had just gave my x's dog 5 flea and tick bathes and was a mess also. we met and i fell for him right then.

no, joseph - as far as I'm concerned, only actually spelling out the clue ("third vowel") is verboten, but everyone has their style. Molly's is the more challenging and it's good to start with that if you can.

Ah! Nice word - te 6/21. My son had a girlfriend who he used to call Te 6/21. Or 'The Te6/21'. He steadfastly refused to tell me why he called her that. She was neither short nor stout....
6:57 am
jwr
I don't see that, Molly, since "3rd vowel" or "20th letter of the alphabet" is an exact letter but an asterisk can be anything.
6:57 am

Molly, I agree that giving a definition (the cleverer, the better) is the best way to go and you're good at it, but sometimes it doesn't work, especially with cross-cultural vocabulary, slang or less familiar professional jargon. The person seeking the clue can always ask again, which is what happened with your reptile clue.
7:10 am
crosshair
Good thing about cluing is that if you find it too informative, you can always turn the chat off until you get stuck. I tend to clue by definition, or a clever witty-style clue, but that is just me
7:10 am
crosshair
There is no hard fast rule on it:)
7:10 am
suefrad625
bye gwen
7:13 am
jwr
Exactly, crossy. And putting the clue into context, as Joseph did, seems to be an acceptable as well - at least, I see it here most frequently. Of course, there's no hard/fast rule; that was my point.
7:13 am
suefrad625
what are the stats for the bottom corner T?

Yup there are many ways to the finish line

i thought the same thing when i found it
7:19 am

I will apologize, however, for using the word 'verboten' as far as "3rd vowel" is concerned, though I can't see how that could be considered a "clue" for anyone who knows the English alphabet and can count up to five.

suefrad625
sorry,my kitten is making me bonkers.
7:26 am
jwr
no, sue - I am guilty of bringing up the subject, but it is a pet peeve and I acknowledge it. Crossy spoke about turning off the chat, but I'm a very fast reader (usually I'm at work -- can do anything including play Babble when not answering phones) so I duck in and my eye catches the spell-out so-called clue - and there goes my fun. The only reason I come in at all is to chat, anyway. I am rarely a finisher, in fact, after over ten years playing.

I have been playing babble for 7 years now, and I used to fuss and fret over the small issues in addition to killing myself by trying to finish the grid each and every day, but now I am more relaxed about things. i take each grid as it come and take the clues for what they are--a kind offer of assistance and leave it at that. Half the enjoyment I get out of the game these days involves the chat anyways

if you use dryer sheets they coat the lint trap and makes airflow an issue and your clothing starts taking longer to dry. I, for the past month, have starting using two balls of tinfoil to ground the static and washed the lint trap. it has been working beautifully. I also took the took the lawn blower and but it over the lint trap and then took the back hose off and blew it there and what a difference. the clothing dries much faster.
8:08 am
MollyL
There are so many things about dryer sheets that are not good for your clothes or your dryer.
8:08 am

true, but the tin foils works great and then i give them to the cat after a good bit of use as a toy

When you're using a laundry room, it's always a good idea to clean the lint trap before using. You never know who was drying what before you.

I'm also getting ready for a community yard sale in Feb. Whatever doesn't sell, goes into the car and directly down to the Salvation Army. I don't bring anything back into the house.

i've given up on the yard sale idea. i found a consignment storebut the things are small and it was disappinting.
10:55 am
72 Temple Owl
bad time of year for seller, but good for buyers. post christmas clearout, esp clothes
10:55 am
tabbycat
Since it's a community sale and advertised, we get a lot of traffic and I usually have very little left over. I have tried the consignment store route, but didn't have good luck with it.
10:56 am

I'm in Florida so the weather is good and all the snow birds are here.

I have never had good luck with yard sales. It's appalling how people try to talk you down from already ridiculously low prices. I would rather donate to Good Will.
10:57 am
72 Temple Owl
it is ok for higher end clothes, but recently have had disputes with priceing. like unworn leather shoes for $10. of course, they sold but you cannot get plactic shoes at ross for less than 19..99
11:01 am
tabbycat
I price things very low and don't usually go any lower. I tell people, "No, I think this is a fair price". If they don't buy it, I don't care and will just donate it. By the time I decide to get rid of things, I've decided they are worthless to me.

yet another reason i am ready to go to chicago

iluvtigs
whats in chicago?
5:02 pm
pippingeek
i have some good friends and family there, and am hoping to get into school there
5:03 pm
iluvtigs
oh was just wondering since i live there
5:03 pm
pippingeek
but also it's just better for social life and dating than nyc
5:03 pm
iluvtigs
what school are you looking to attend
5:04 pm
pippingeek
aha! i like it there. i am still waiting to hear from northwestern's physician assistant program, crossing my fingers!
5:05 pm
iluvtigs
nice very good school
5:05 pm
iluvtigs
i went to university of illinois in chicago
5:05 pm
pippingeek
nice, one of my friends teaches marine biology stuff there
5:05 pm

they also have a great medical program there
5:12 pm

they do! if only they had a PA program...
5:13 pm
iluvtigs
well my daughter majored in biology with a minor in chiemistry now she has an excellent job with a pharmaceutical company here in illinos

Wait, wait, Chicago is better for dating than New York?
5:14 pm
iluvtigs
well people are friendly here lol
5:15 pm
pippingeek
i would say for women, and for what i am looking for, yes. the ratio is not skewed in my favor, and mewn tend to be on the lookout for the next better thing, it's a frequent complaint i hear
5:16 pm
iluvtigs
well im old and all past that stuff lol
5:16 pm
pippingeek
and people here in general don't have a ton of time to meet up, and want to go out and do things that cost money, as opposed to just hanging out which is more common in chicago
5:18 pm
iluvtigs
but better to get to know someone by interacting and hanging out together

What is your back-up plan?
5:26 pm
pippingeek
tuesday i will call my 2 backup schools that i have not yet heard from and offer them my latest transcripts and tell them i hope i am still in contention. maybe that will tell them i am serious since that's the only reason i can think that they never contacted me
5:27 pm
Scrabbler
Such uncertainty and stress for you.
5:27 pm
pippingeek
and if i don't get in i move to chicago anyway so that it's easier to apply a second year and not travel for interviews, and i guess potentially broaden my net
5:28 pm
pippingeek
not a big fan of the uncertainly, but it'll turn out if it's meant to be, and i will find a way to make it happen
5:29 pm

Lizlin
Lots of luck with Chicago! Hope that you get there.
6:05 pm
Lizlin
Summer is unpleasant at the moment. Very hot and VERY humid. Unusually so for here. The news said that the temp yesterday was 7C above average.
6:05 pm
pippingeek
:( yuk
6:05 pm
Lizlin
But I prefer that to being cold. Can always use fans and air con.
6:05 pm
Lizlin
How's your winter?
6:06 pm
Lizlin
The ocean is 27 C today - never heard of it that warm in the 6 years I've lived here and our pool was like a bath at 32 C yesterday!!!
6:06 pm
pippingeek
i prefer summer as well, but winter is not entirely miserable. today was nasty and rainy but much warmer - high of 45. what is that, like 7? 8?
6:07 pm
Lizlin
Don't mind hot or cold as long as it's dry!
6:08 pm
pippingeek
6C now here

Lizlin
Warm indoors though, I hope.

Lizlin

6:09 pm
pippingeek

Lizlin
I also have 4 x p left and I think that they hate me too.
