Hugs to you too Rose
3:07 am
grannyrose

sprite's gone?? i hope she is okay.
3:08 am
sprite

I am good, babble had issues
3:08 am
Lizlin

Perhaps just focussed on the grid
3:09 am
grannyrose

hello sweetie
3:09 am
Lizlin

And then again perhaps not! Lol!
3:12 am
sprite

red boxes of doom, initialization errors, and now my wordlist is not loading. Sigh.
3:12 am
grannyrose

poor sprite. xoxox
3:12 am
sprite

and babble ate my post too. Hello dear Liz, *hugs to you and your husband*
Hello dear rose *hugs*
3:13 am
Lizlin

:(
3:13 am
Lizlin

Not at the hugs! At the red boxes
3:13 am
sprite

lol. Ok then! More hugs *hugs*... make it a group hug for the 3 of us.
3:14 am
Lizlin

Group hugs
3:14 am
grannyrose

*snuggles in *
3:15 am
sprite

there. Chog, grid, wordlist. All working now. *knocks wood* Great to see you both!
3:15 am
Lizlin

Major shock - my camera just refused to talk to my computer! Need to buy a new card for it!
3:16 am
sprite

that is frustrating. Do you have many pictures on it?
3:17 am
sprite

and you, rose, how are you today?
3:17 am
Lizlin

Not too many! Just some I took today. Camera shop will be able to sort it! No biggie!
3:18 am
sprite

ah good, Liz. Better not lose any photos. Picture moments don't usually return.
3:22 am
Lizlin

BBS. Hubby demanding hugs ;)
3:22 am
sprite

I got a pretty good night and still I got out of bed hurting all over. No idea what is going on the last few days.
3:24 am
sprite

awwwww give your hubby one from me too
3:24 am
grannyrose

and me three
3:25 am
sprite

*tries again* How are you today, rose?
3:26 am
grannyrose

okayish. lower back spasms most of the time. even when i am sitting!!
3:26 am
sprite

oh that is not good :( *healing vibes* for your lower back.
3:27 am
grannyrose

today don has cleaned out my car. and together we have started sifting through various mounds of stuff. * sigh *
3:28 am
sprite

yup that would do it. Rather taxing, sifting through stacks of stuff. Easy to forget you need to walk around every 5 minutes.
3:29 am
grannyrose

yup. exactly. and then just short walks to put stuff away properly once sorted, that too can bring it on, because you tend to think i can do these few at the same time.
3:29 am
Lizlin

Hugs for your back pains Rose
3:30 am
grannyrose

thanx to you both.
3:30 am
sprite

aw yes, indeed. Ea5 to bed for you, sweetie. Rest that body.

3:51 am

yeah I guess so too.
3:53 am

Is it my imagination or does the site regularly have tantrums at this time of day (13:00 here, as I take my lunch break and want to play)?

thats time.. its early and its cold..
5:14 am

its when the site backs up - updates rankings, etc. It basically 'shuts down' for two minutes. Words are always recorded tho.
5:14 am
Dachef

not your imagination - happens everywhere (11am here).
5:15 am
KayteeJay

lol I thought someone was chasing me back to work
5:15 am

... or maybe I scare everyone when I enter :)
5:15 am
aceymcc

It's always my cue to get up and get ready for work (have a day off today so I can play more! :D)
5:16 am

It is funny, I am slowly starting to forget the old temperature conversions as the years go by. Canada went metric in the 70,s. Once my generation is done, the kids growing up now will be 100% metric in all things.

glad you're here. They say talking to onesself is not a good sign:))
6:31 am

It was hard, car. Not because of what was asked of me in the questions. I knew all that. it was simply because of the time limit on the test;(
6:31 am
car.eeyore

I'm sure you did great!
6:32 am

I missed an entire third of the exam due to time!
6:32 am

Went into it with an 88% though:)
6:33 am

Can you ask the prof for more time on the next one? I have friends who have done that as they are not strong test takers with the added pressure of time limits.

6:38 am

Bad writing and bad design a lot of them.
6:38 am

lol
6:39 am
crosshair

it is more readability, and improper word usage than it is actual spelling errors.
6:39 am
crosshair

it is almost like they send it to India for copy editing.
6:40 am

or China
6:40 am

Though it is not quite so bad as "chinglish"
6:40 am

Or do some crowd sourced editing.
6:41 am
crosshair

well, that is not much better that relying on Wiki for 100% accuracy.
6:42 am

I used to write on a site that hired people on Amazon turk to check the articles.
6:42 am
sukee

People are paid cents.
6:43 am

I am sure
6:43 am

And you get what you pay for.
6:43 am
sukee

I tried doing stuff for Amazon Turk but the earning were not worth the time.
6:44 am
crosshair

yes, I tried stuff on Elance.com as well and it is only pennies per article. You do it more as a hobby to get your name out there than anything else
6:45 am
crosshair

You keep churning out perfect copy until it is them contacting you.
6:45 am

I never did have much luck with the freelance sites because I didn't want to start doing it for so little. But I do know people who have been successful.

I was lucky with the place I write for now and I am sticking with that.
6:46 am

It is a tough grind.
6:47 am

I saw one where they wanted you to take a rough draft-- nothing more than ideas and bullet notes really, and make a full marketable book out of it--all for the grand sum of $56.00
6:48 am
crosshair

Plus you had to sign off on it:(
6:48 am
crosshair

Think it was a cooking book
6:48 am

And like you said, I bet they got what they paid for.

Taking a break. HAGD all
6:56 am

hi, bye :)
6:58 am

I suppose my usage of authonomy.com is a "crowd-sourced" type of editing, but I never, ever use it for final drafts. besides, stuff that gets the not on there can actually hit the Harper/Collins editors desk.

Scrab, one of the pieces of "Back matter" for Volume 4 of my trilogy is why it's taken so long--begun when I was a kid, and now I'm old--my self imposed deadline (while my relatives who are hired to help) all fidget) is my head, or death--thugh I'm v active. nvy you cross countrying--I gave up skis and bike, I mustn't break anything. But miss them.

Volume 4...of...your TRIlogy?
8:35 am

Annieebrook, then you have the one the reviewers have considered best. It was second in line for the newbery but they weren't advertising runners up then, or I'd be rich. It's based on an old woman's memories--I split her into mother anc child. The lumber camp on Lillington is real--I've visited the spot.

sorry. I shouldn't think with my finger on a key. It's been called for years a trilogy, but I have too much material. It's a dsort of joke. I just call it now the epic, and hardly anybldy buys it or if so uses it for a door stop. See roundbarnstories.com.

Hi, pen
5:43 pm
Soodle

Back on top form again, Jax. Thanks for asking. :-). Hi Pen
5:43 pm
jaxx7

This year's flu is severe. The flu vaccine wasn't up to the mutation
5:45 pm
Soodle

I didn't bother getting the flu jab, as it must be 15 years since I had the flu. I thought I was immune. I was wrong!
5:46 pm
jaxx7

It only covered 3% of folk who had it so chances are you would have caught it anyway
5:47 pm
jaxx7

Still, nice to know you are back to your usual self
5:47 pm
Soodle

Well with mediocrity attained - nbs & nbt, I'm off to bed. Night all. :-)
5:48 pm

Night, soodle. sleep well
5:48 pm

g'nite!
5:48 pm

How are you, Pen?
5:49 pm
penquis

ok....just tired of winter...
5:49 pm
jaxx7

Is it still snowing your way?
5:51 pm
penquis

we expect 3 to 6 inches tonight....
5:51 pm
penquis

my car would not start this morning (coldest night of the year)....had to get AAA to come and start it....
5:52 pm
jaxx7

Usually the UK gets your weather after you have finished with it. Not this year as the Jetstream has changed
5:52 pm
penquis

lucky for you...
5:53 pm
jaxx7

We have wintry showers and gales but none of the white stuff seems to stick down here in Devon
5:54 pm
penquis

we have had over 7 feet in my area this winter....and most of that has been in the last month....
5:54 pm
jaxx7

How do you cope?
5:54 pm
periwinkle

where are you pen?
5:54 pm
penquis

maine...
5:54 pm
periwinkle


ok
5:55 pm
penquis

downeast maine (most northeast) has gotten more....
5:55 pm
periwinkle

Maine is a beautiful state but I could not deal with all of that snow
5:56 pm
jaxx7

7 feet seems more than enough to me. Three inches causes chaos here.
5:57 pm
penquis

three inches is nothing here....not worth shoveling... ;o)
5:57 pm
jaxx7

Perhaps the british are not as hardy as americans
5:59 pm
penquis

well we have just gotten used to living here in winter weather...
6:01 pm
jaxx7

years ago, snow didn't cause chaos. The schools were still open, the traffic still moved, planes still flew. I can remember ploghing through over knee height snow to get to school and once we were there the heating had failed so we had bunsen burners all over the place.
6:02 pm
jaxx7

ploughing even
6:02 pm
penquis

ah...perhaps we are not as tough as we used to be...
6:03 pm
jaxx7

We were definitely made of sterner stuff.
6:04 pm
penquis

perhaps...but i know my parents would say that they were made of sterner stuff than I as well...
6:06 pm
Shirlockc

nope of us are as tough as we used to be
6:06 pm
Shirlockc

*none
6:06 pm
jaxx7

perhaps central heating etc has made us softer. My husband was a shellfish fisherman and he used to clear his sorting board of snow before starting work.
6:06 pm
penquis

very true...
6:06 pm
stidgmere

i
6:07 pm
MollyL

Our parents were made of sterner stuff. They fought in wars, went through a depression, did not have the convenience of modern appliances...the list goes on and on.
6:07 pm
stidgmere

Hi. Just doing the grid and somehow sent a single letter.
6:07 pm
stidgmere

We are pretty stern, too Molly.
6:07 pm
jaxx7

I have problems convincing my husband that at 70 with arthritis he will get tired far quicker than he used to.
6:08 pm
stidgmere

My husband has no concept of slowing down. He still thinks he can carry telephone poles.
6:09 pm
penquis

agreed, molly....and i was raised in that context....i remember getting a winter coat and my mother saying "you sure you like it? you'll be wearing it for three or more years"....
6:09 pm
jaxx7

That's OK as long as he doesn't try.
6:11 pm
MollyL

Yeah Pen. I had school shoes that lasted a whole school year (at least, little Buster Browns) Not 4 or 5 pair to wear during the year.
6:13 pm
penquis

yes, i remember school clothes, play clothes, and church clothes....not that many outfits, just that some were "saved" for those places....
6:14 pm
MollyL

School clothes were uniforms for me. 12 long years of uniforms. : S
6:16 pm
penquis

none for me....but had to wear dresses or skirts for 12 + years....it was even expected in college my freshman year and that was a private nonsectarian college...
6:16 pm
jaxx7

The sole concession to being in the sixth form was not to have to wear a beret.
6:17 pm
hoyamd

i love this thread! my son has 6 long-sleeved shirts that are getting small, but i'm trying to limp through till spring when he can switch to short sleeves!
6:17 pm
jaxx7

When I went to college we weren't allowed to wear trousers.
6:18 pm
penquis

i remember when my brother fell in the school yard and tore his new woolen pants....my mother was on the phone to the nuns complaining....she had just bought them!
6:20 pm
jaxx7

I recall boys wearing shorts until they were 13 and my baby brother used to stuff his pockets full of bits of clocks and the shorts gradually gave way to gravity.
6:21 pm
penquis

hah....no shorts at my school...in high school, boys had to wear collared shirts and ties...clip ons for the most part... ;o)
6:22 pm
jaxx7

These were called shorts but were more 'longs' and made of flannel.
6:23 pm
penquis

we had white woolen blazers for special occasions i high school....but no day to day uniforms...
6:26 pm
jaxx7

We had the full show - pleated skirts (nothing above the knee), white shirts and striped ties, school scarf in red and black and a black blazer complete with school badge (nulle diem sine linea : never a day without a line)
6:28 pm
penquis

a friend of m ine had a son....shortest of all the 70 or so sixth graders....tallest of all the 70 or so eighth graders.....it was VERY hard to keep him in pants that fit...
6:29 pm
jaxx7

I imagine that his trouserd looked as if the cat died - they were at half mast. lol
6:29 pm
jaxx7

trousers even
6:29 pm
penquis

lol...luckily his mother could sew....learned to buy longer legs and make a wide hem so they could be let down...
6:30 pm
jaxx7

Clever mum
6:31 pm
jaxx7

My mother used to knit our stockings in itchy grey wool.
6:32 pm
penquis

my mother sewed me dresses and skirts...
6:33 pm
jaxx7

I loathed those stockings. No tights in those days.
6:33 pm
penquis

luckily, she was a good seamstress and she had good taste!....my uncle worked in a woolen mill and he often brought us nice plaid cloth...

Hi again. We won't take away your smile, dan2; you deserve it!

8:31 pm
Nef

Hi TO; how are you this evening?
8:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

hi, nef; i am fine. just finished making a batch of meatballs to freeze.
8:34 pm
Nef

That sounds good. I'd made some chicken Marsala a while back & froze the extra; so we had that for supper
8:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

that is something i;'ve never made.
8:35 pm
Nef

I can't remember how to fix meals for 2 people anymore; we're putting our seal-a-meal and freezer to good use.
8:37 pm
Nef

It was the first time I've ever made it too; it was good, but I did learn that I probably bought the wrong Marsala wine for it (I bought the dry & probably should have bought the sweet)
8:37 pm
72 Temple Owl

i already have a large bottle of burgundy that i use to cook. i need to get some sherry and white wine. a bottle o f marsala just would not fit.
8:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

oh yes, i do believe it is sweet marsala.
8:39 pm
Nef

I added sugar and some other stuff so it did turn out pretty good
8:40 pm
Nef

I don't drink; so (for me) going in to the liquor store to buy that wine kind of overwhelmed me. And the prices! I used to drink; but it was cheaper back then!
8:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

brnady confuses me. when a recipe calls for brandy, i have no idea what to use.
8:42 pm
Nef

LOL! I wouldn't know what kind to cook with either
8:43 pm
Nef

I know that they say buy wine that you'd drink; not cooking wine. But I doubt if a person should cook with expensive brandy.
8:43 pm
mkg

hi all. would love to get all the 8s. i have cl, but what are stats for the others please? i am not half way yet. so no list.
8:44 pm
72 Temple Owl

i am conflicted; want to finish but watching "the italians" on PBS. my paternal grandparents were treated as aliens.
8:44 pm
Nef

sorry, mkg; I don't have any 8's yet. (I'm just playing with this grid; not trying to finish
8:45 pm
72 Temple Owl

and this episode is about WW II
8:45 pm
phandmd

2 of the 8's build off of the white fluffy things you see in the sky.
8:45 pm
Nef

I'm watching that too, TO.
8:46 pm
Nef

Thanks phand!
8:46 pm
stidgmere

I'm not sure if I have come across many 8s yet. One is a cl which is the suffix meaning more of. The other that I have is in which works off the in 7 just above meaning past tense.
8:46 pm
72 Temple Owl

my uncle received the purple heart for service in italy, but his parents were under suspicion. this is something one never learned - all focus on the japanese
8:47 pm
stidgmere

Yes. I think the thing about Italians was that so many more Catholics and that aspect of suspicion is also rarely talked about.
8:48 pm
Nef

Thanks, stidg!

TO, this is So Sad!
8:51 pm

The thing is we can choose how to act toward others. Babble on!! One for all and all for one. Can you tell I'm rere***ing the Three Musketeers?
8:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

8:56 pm
72 Temple Owl

here, taste a meatball they smell good
8:56 pm
Nef

Okay, have any of you ever had your DNA test for genealogy? My sister had hers done and it came back showing we are Irish British and slightly Scandinavian
8:56 pm
stidgmere

Oh. I do love meatballs!! We had a veal dish for dinner tonight and it was so nice with a winter squash.
8:57 pm
72 Temple Owl

it is too hard to find good veal, it is not PC. i use pork cutlet instead. i like it better
8:57 pm
stidgmere

No. I have members of an extended family line that have done that and it is always interesting.
8:58 pm
Nef

Dang, TO! I may have to cook meatballs tomorrow (I swear I can smell them from here!) ;-)
8:58 pm
72 Temple Owl

i have not.
8:58 pm

We knew our Mom's family was Irish; and our Dad's last name was Norwegian; but we ended up being mostly Irish. We don't even have a stray southern European in the mix at all
9:00 pm
72 Temple Owl

9:01 pm

Scandinavians who stayed home? Didn't get on any of those Viking cruises we read so much about?

9:02 pm
72 Temple Owl

oh, i just received another brocure.
9:02 pm
Nef

Nary a one, stidg. I find that very strange.
9:03 pm
Nef

Especially because there are several family members who have very Asian appearing eyes
9:04 pm
stidgmere

We have a man from Norway who came to the New York area. His last name was Toll. He lived on the Mohawk River and traded beaver pe***. Because he could swim, the Indians called him "Fish."
