How are you today?

3:59 am

Liz! *hugs* Lovely to see you. How are you and your beloved doing?

3:59 am

Lizlin

We're very well

3:59 am

sprite

that is good to hear. Any whale watching done?

4:00 am

Lizlin

Season began this weekend. Got our season tickets today but they've not seen many whales yet we'll go out next week or the week after.

4:01 am

sprite

wish I could join you!

4:01 am

Lizlin

I wish that too.

4:02 am

sprite

:) Who knows, some day.

4:02 am

Lizlin

Mind you - it's pretty cold for here right now. Going down to 6 C tonight.

4:02 am

Lizlin

I'll keep hoping.

4:02 am

sprite

wow that is not warm at all.

4:03 am

Lizlin

Today it got to 19C. Was lovely on the beach but colder in the shade.

4:04 am

sprite

we aren't getting on with spring at all here. The occasional warm day, but for the rest it is more like autumn, lol. Without the lovely colours.

4:04 am

Lizlin

But I shouldn't whinge. This is winter.

4:05 am

Lizlin

Yuck! Hopefully it'll go straight into summer very soon.

4:05 am

sprite

for winter it is pretty ok, grin. But it isn't comfortable. You sure need warm clothes and a coat for 6 c.

4:06 am

Lizlin

True. Sitting here in trackie pants and top and snuggled under a blanket.

4:06 am

sprite

awwww that is cosy!

4:06 am

Lizlin

Was in shorts on the beach - real extremes.

4:07 am

sprite

makes the cold feel colder, if you know what I mean

4:07 am

Lizlin

Yes, especially with no central heating.

4:09 am

sprite

but for sleeping it is great. I like cold bedrooms.

4:10 am

Lizlin

I prefer cool to hot but again, our duvet isn't made for these low temps.

4:10 am

Lizlin

So gave extra duvet on the bed and I resort to a T shirt.

4:10 am

sprite

nice excuse to bring in a snuggle blanket :D

4:11 am

Lizlin

4:13 am

Lizlin

Time for dinner, so happy to have seen you. Hope you have a good day - hugs :)

I would wait. let the early adopters iron out the bugs first

crosshair

Although, it is free right now, it won't be later.

5:45 am

Then again, I will probably need a new laptop in the next year.

5:45 am

crosshair

Do not let them treat you like a high-pressure car salesman lol

5:46 am

sukee

True. It annoys me that it just showed up on my computer.

5:46 am

sukee

But, I guess when you have a windows computer that is what you get.

5:46 am

5:51 am

Uneaixoise

bonjour, ruby :-)

5:51 am

crosshair

Uninstall the program. If you have a geek friend, or you are comfortable with it , go into regedit and get rid of the kernal for the program and re-install

5:52 am

crosshair

If not, uninstall, use the c cleaner registry cleaner then re-install

5:52 am

sukee

When I try to uninstal it says I don't have permission, even though everything has me as the administrator.

5:52 am

crosshair

odd:(

5:53 am

crosshair

can you system restore to just before this issue happened?

5:53 am

sukee

Tried that, did not work.

5:53 am

crosshair

mmm

5:53 am

sukee

I guess I could call HP, maybe they could help.

5:54 am

crosshair

try googling the forum boards for this issue and see if there is a fix floating around out there amongst itunes users

5:54 am

crosshair

maybe..

5:54 am

crosshair

Though every time I call HP, I get routed to New Deli:(

5:55 am

It's annoying, and iTunes keeps crashing in my iPad.

6:48 am

mattygroves

Must go to the supermarket soon. I'm in the consultation period of redundancy, but it's complicated - it's been extended 4 or 5 times because there's a client who may have need of me, in which ca4 I'd keep my job. If not, I have two job offers that I have to keep putting off and prevaricating, but in the meantime, I'm at home, and being paid

6:49 am

sprite

that is certainly complicated

6:51 am

crosshair

mm. Can you start one of the jobs you have on hold while still doing the home one, just in case?

6:51 am

mattygroves

It's nice to be wanted, but some certainty would also be nice

6:52 am

mattygroves

No - these are full time jobs. I'm being paid to sit around and do as I like - I'm being made redundant (maybe) because there isn't enough work for an email marketing expert (as clients think everyone there should be experts)

6:52 am

mattygroves

The other two jobs are full time employment in an office (just like my normal job)

6:52 am

crosshair

If you ride the fence too long, you may lose them, and they will not pay you for long just to sit at home:(

6:53 am

mattygroves

I know - it's driving me nuts - they're waiting to hear from the client

6:53 am

crosshair

Tough spot to be in. i personally would go where the security is

6:54 am

crosshair

You cannot relax with "maybes"

6:55 am

crosshair

But, as you say, it is nice to be wanted by the tow others

6:56 am

mattygroves

I haven't a lot of choice. If I go before they've officially decided whether to make me redundant (lay me off) I will lose the payout, and they could make me work the 3 months

6:56 am

crosshair

two

6:56 am

mattygroves

notice perios

6:56 am

mattygroves

period

6:56 am

mattygroves

I'm kinda between a rock and a hard place at the moment

6:57 am

crosshair

Yes, But as an ex business owner, i must say that if they are even thinking of making you redundant--you will be made so. At the end of the day it is all about the bottom line. there is no love lost in business these days

6:57 am

sprite

you certainly are :( Not a comfortable place to be

6:58 am

crosshair

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

6:58 am

sprite

oh that is a fact. As soon as money becomes an issue, people are no longer considered important.

6:59 am

mattygroves

Ah, crossy, my situation is....special. Just after I was put on the consultation period, our biggest client threw their toys out of the pram, saying we didn't know email. So we put together a big presentation to prove we did (and so my period was extended). They loved the presentation (and, I think, me) and so a proposal has gone to the client which would put me on retainer, meaning my role would no longer be redundant. It's totally in the client's hands now

6:59 am

crosshair

We have companies now that keep you on one day shy of the three month trial period, lay you off for a week, then hire you back on again--all to avoid any financial investment in employees

7:00 am

crosshair

I hope the client sees and recognizes your skills:)

7:01 am

mattygroves

So I've two other job offers on the table (as I was being laid off, I needed to secure employment) but then my consultation kept getting extended. I reckon I've got two or three day before they lose patience

7:01 am

sprite

frustrating, matty

7:02 am

sprite

ap7: monkey tricks

7:02 am

mattygroves

Anyway, the upshot of all that is....I shall shortly go to the supermarket to get dinner ingredients ;)

7:02 am

mattygroves

Monkey tricks....? Looking

7:03 am

crosshair

ty, sprite

7:03 am

crosshair

reminds me of bird sanctuaries

7:03 am

sprite

plural for monkeylike behaviour. But I thought it meant monkey cages, lol.

7:04 am

sprite

exactly, crossy :D

7:04 am

mattygroves

looking......still not seeing

7:04 am

sprite

ap7: ap + **me was not built in one day + nervous habit

7:05 am

mattygroves

Ah - I was lookign at the the first three letters meaning gorilla and such. Thanks

7:05 am

sprite

matty, other clue: A + babbler p***winkle, make long plural

7:05 am

mattygroves

Aaand, I'm thinking I should still be looking there for the first ap7

7:05 am

crosshair

lol,sprite. I got the ap 7/32 from your clue instead

7:06 am

mattygroves

That's the one - thanking ye kindly

7:06 am

crosshair

Must head to class. Wiil check in later, my friends.

7:06 am

sprite

nice, as long as you got them, lolll

7:06 am

sprite

have fun, crossy

7:07 am

mattygroves

And Tesco calls me (and I'm hungry) - be back later, I suspect. Oh, and before you feel *too* sorry for me, I have today also booked a long spa weekend for my daughter (almost 24) and me...to Dubai

7:07 am

bichon

7:07 am

Great to come back to babble to find you still here

7:13 am

So, no job worries and a swanky trip to Dubai. Raise your hand if you're feeling sorry for Matty
: D

7:13 am

sprite

hehehe I have been away myself. Rob has lots of plans to go live somewhere cheaper... he wanted me to look at the clubhouse of one of the canoe clubs here.

7:14 am

Marc Freeman

th7, please?

7:14 am

sprite

and we got our groceries too. Will go make soup very shortly

7:14 am

Lizlin

Wow! Those are big plans. How do you feel about that?

7:14 am

sprite

th + vowel + **** of passage.

7:15 am

sprite

I have decided I won't stand in his way. I would prefer to stay here, because I don't need any upheaval in my life. But he has some good arguments and it would make him very happy. And I know I am adaptable.

7:15 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

7:15 am

Lizlin

As long as you have access to everything you need.

7:16 am

sprite

yvw marc

7:16 am

sprite

it would need work, lol. Ah well, let's see what the canoe club has to say... and if it is allowed at all to use it for semi permanent living...

7:17 am

Lizlin

How about the kids? What do they feel about it?

7:18 am

sprite

they are not yet included in the plans. We can have one kid living there with us. Caya will leave home in one year. we will see.

7:18 am

Lizlin

Any hints for the final 4 co words pls?

7:18 am

Lizlin

Oh well. Like you said, see what the club has to say.

7:19 am

sprite

let me see... they all start with the grasseating milkgiving animal

7:20 am

Lizlin

That gave me 2 words straight off - thanks.

7:20 am

sprite

then the 6 ends like the eagle's nest. The 7 after that is the plural.

7:20 am

sprite

the next one is the animal + **** of passage

7:20 am

Lizlin

And another. Just missing one of them now.

7:20 am

sprite

and the last one is the same, but change the second vowel.

7:21 am

Lizlin

Thanks - don't think I'd've tried that vowel.

7:21 am

Lizlin

I keep looking for cretin - even though I know it's not there.

Yes. No surprise. Work excellence is poor almost everywhere.

So nice for this to be headline news. Terrorists, come one, come all. No worries for you.

And our borders are porous.

Yeah but 95% failure rate is higher than I would have expected.

It seems crazy that everyone has to put up with all that hassle for nothing.

Not so bright workers with poor level of vigilance.

8:35 am

it's all "security theatre" anyway, and always has been

8:35 am

Scrabbler

It is epidemic in the US--people in jobs for which they are not qualified.

8:35 am

Anniebrook

clue for ac7 please

8:36 am

Scrabbler

True, Dan.

8:36 am

dan2bit

the main concern isn't actually terrorism, it's that you'll be too afraid to buy any more airline tickets

8:36 am

dan2bit

Scrabbs - also yours is true :-)

8:36 am

Scrabbler

The truth hurts.

8:37 am

godthaab

What is the TSA news?

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Sometimes I think I am being a harsh curmudgeon, but the quality of customer service really is dismal. I write letters to employers when I see excellent service. The good workers need to be recognized.

8:39 am

Scrabbler

BBS

8:40 am

MollyL

If employers were willing to pay for high quality employees, that would not be such a problem. As long as their standards are so low, so will the quality of customer service.

8:41 am

HarryHood

phew halfway. this grid is much harder than it appeared at first glance

8:46 am

josephjames

The TSA news was, Homeland Security sent 70 undercover agents through airport security with weapons and other prohibited items, and 67 of them got through security without being noticed.

OMG...trying to make appointment with the neurosurgeon..ridiculous.

9:28 am

MollyL

The only complaint I have about Malware Bytes is the misleading pop up you get saying it has expired. It hasn't. It's to try and get you to buy the non-free version. If you run your scan, you will see that the free version is working just fine, and will update.

9:28 am

Anniebrook

car....why neurosurgeon?

9:29 am

car.eeyore

Because after 3 months of PT my back isn't better.

9:29 am

PT and PCP want additional input. Nothing definitive

11:52 am

the mo7 I have does not plural

11:53 am

In that case, care to share? :)

11:53 am

lol matty

11:53 am

MLFAN17

do u have mo 5/12 above it?

11:53 am

mattygroves

The one that goes vroom vroom?

11:53 am

MLFAN17

a car has a mo*** to make it run.. then add to the end of that word

11:54 am

MollyL

mo + not first...WITHOUT THE W and plural

11:54 am

mattygroves

Molly, thanks, but I have that 7 and 8 combo :)

11:55 am

mattygroves

And now I have the vroom vroom one. Now looking for the MO8 that isn't (probably) a plural, after the word for one who sulks

11:55 am

MLFAN17

molly I don't understand your clue

11:55 am

MollyL

There is only one mo7/8 combo

11:56 am

mattygroves

Yep, I know. There's an mo8/50 that is probably unrelated to any other word.

11:56 am

zoozzoom

Add the long plural to the sulk word, Matty.

11:56 am

MLFAN17

i only have themo 7/36 by itself

11:56 am

mattygroves

There are sometimes words that exist only as plurals (like suds, lens etc)

11:57 am

mattygroves

Thanks zoooz!

11:57 am

zoozzoom

Welcome.

11:57 am

MLFAN17

got it ty zooz

11:57 am

MollyL

mo8/50 is the plural of the words I just clued. Stick a consonant in between the mo and the not first

11:57 am

mattygroves

Is that where one goes to sulk?

11:58 am

MLFAN17

are the b words common?

11:58 am

mattygroves

I now have the MO8/50s - there are two

11:59 am

mattygroves

(Molly, I think I can hear your exasperation - sorry to frustrate you)

11:59 am

MLFAN17

i have the one that zooz just clued.clue the other one please matty?

11:59 am

periwinkle

I have one mo8/50 that is a pl. help with the others pls

11:59 am

mattygroves

OK - take the mo4 (the word for dead, or a book by Terry Pratchett), add frozen water, then plural for the 8

12:00 pm

MollyL

I guess it's just easier to spell out the words

12:01 pm

MLFAN17

don't know any books by terry pratchett

12:01 pm

MLFAN17

molly it happens to all of us

12:04 pm

MollyL

That's funny

12:05 pm

ChrissieDee

Yes, but there is always the option not to clue if it's too exasperating

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

I sometimes like trying to come up with slightly quirky clues - not sure how helpful they are, but it makes me think differently

Always that option, yes indeed

12:06 pm

ChrissieDee

All clues welcome here :)

12:06 pm

mattygroves

But agreed, sometimes not in the mood, so then I don't clue, and if I need a clue, I'll often go to the chat log and look to see if it's been clued already

12:07 pm

MollyL

That is a great option, Matty. There are so many clues in the chat log.

12:07 pm

MLFAN17

sometimes others are just faster then i am so i don't clue that often

12:07 pm

mattygroves

On a lighter note, I can smell garlic and lemon - this will be the garlic and lemon chicken I'm cooking. I think I shall check on it in a moment. It smells lovely

12:08 pm

MLFAN17

sounds good matty

12:08 pm

mattygroves

Especially as I can feel a wee bit of tension, and I'm being rubbish at finding words - no doubt words that shouldn't need clueing

12:09 pm

MLFAN17

i ask for clues for words that are right in front of me and couldn't see them until right after i ask for a clue lol

12:11 pm

MLFAN17

are any of the b words common?

12:11 pm

bichon

Molly, the mo you clued, I didn't understand the second part of the clue, not first minus the w

12:13 pm

MLFAN17

bichon do you have mo5/18 above it?(i think its the one you are asking about)?

12:13 pm

Uneaixoise

mlf, yes --bo5 is a kind of acid

12:13 pm

MLFAN17

matty i don't think its your fault

12:14 pm

12:14 pm

12:17 pm

Uneaixoise

12:24 pm

MollyL

Twice minus the W

Ah well. I tried using those four letters just out of habit - top tip, if you have a fairly high value long word, it probably ends that way :)

1:29 pm

periwinkle

matty, the ro8 ends like the ac7

1:29 pm

mattygroves

Yarp, the ro8/60 surely does. But not the ro8/45 :(

not to worry, it happens to me too

1:36 pm

mattygroves

It's also amazing how just leaving a group of words can make them easier to see - I'd given up for a while on a bunch of MOs - came back, and they were staring me in the face

Which is why you shouldn't "feel stupid". Unless you are a genius, you will stop seeing words in these grids after a while. Even the obvious ones. Better to take a break and come back to it.

You're right - it was a pseudonym. Also spelt with a double consonant! Like I said, not really awake yet.
