hello babblers
7:00 am
MollyL
TO, your flag and gender icons are not visible because your profile is marked as "not visible". Which means it shows in chat, but not in the rankings list.
7:01 am
72 Temple Owl
odd. that just began.
7:02 am
MollyL
You could have clicked the box by accident. Weird thing is, I don't see the "don't show profile" box in the MY ACCOUNT section any more. Maybe a question for Dr. God
7:02 am

The sad thing is that you never really top having melanoma. Every once in a while you find another "aggressive" mole and have to get it cut out:(
7:31 am

too right crossy... must be so hard to keep up

But it was caught early at the time
7:33 am

Did he have Moh's surgery
7:33 am

I get the local surgeon on staff to freeze the area of concern and he freezes it and cuts it out and pops a stitch or 2 in
7:33 am
crosshair
Has been no new one for a long while now
7:34 am
Riverdance
thats good crossy
7:34 am

It is, and as a guy a few train tracks on my keg of a belly do not bother me overmuch:)
7:34 am
72 Temple Owl
i thought it was a much bigger deal. my friend has the other kind and he has many scars, one very deep
7:34 am
bichon
Moh's is used for melanoma. It slices thin layers and they are examined under a microscope to see if all the tumor is removed. Takes a highly trained dermatologist
7:35 am
crosshair
I guess it depends on the individual and how fast the problem area is adressed
7:35 am
72 Temple Owl
so do they make you avoid certain foods and peel all fruits and vegetables? that is what they do here to cancer prone individuals.
7:35 am

With my history, I examine my moles on a regular basis

I nearly strangled my dad when I was 16... he cut his own mole out of his tummy area with a knife... typical farmer

3mm or some such.. I just get the dr to go over me once a month or so. Thankfully they have become less common for me over time

oh, so they get rid of the moles before they can turn.

besides, I am in no hurry. I use win 7 pro and it does all that i need it to do.
7:51 am
MollyL
No but I'm going to first chance I get. I can't wait to get rid of the damn charms bar. I think you have to have Windows 8 to upgrade to 10.
7:51 am
crosshair
you can upgrade for free with win 7 or 8.1
7:52 am
lbdawger
I have windows 8.1, and yup I hate it! just wondering if the upgrade was a pain to upload.

I love my win 7. The school uses 8.1 and I hate it.
7:55 am

LBD, I will let you know how it goes when I upgrade. My only trepidation is having to figure out where they moved everything in Word. It's like when they rearrange the grocery store, I can't find anything.

Fortunately the college doesn't change their programs that often that I have to upgrade my stuff. I usually just play around with what they have and figure out how things have changed and go from there.

grr is all tech support based on reboot and clearing cache and cookies???
8:10 am
MollyL
A lot of those tech support people work from a script and telling you to reboot and clear are two of the first things on their script.
8:12 am
crosshair
You always start with the easiest fixes first
8:13 am
72 Temple Owl
wants me to clear cache and cookies just for their mail app which is intermittent.
8:13 am

I try to get those basic "fixes" done before calling support. THen I can tell them I did this and that, and it still doesn't work.

There is nothing so fine as sitting in a canoe or a kayak on a small lake as dawn breaks. You can see the first tentative rays of sunlight burning off the fog that lays on the water like a fluffy blanket, it is so quiet that you can hear the droplets of water coming off our paddle and rejoining the lake that holds you up. Then you hear the first, haunting cries of a loon--then, and only then, can the begin.

And for everyone - I have all blank tiles and blank stats. Now I can start! :)

Hey Ruby - can you give me a slightly bigger steer on the British colonial word? I feel like I should see it but I don't...
1:07 pm

Ends in sometimes vowel.
1:09 pm
mattygroves
Interesting word!!
1:20 pm
mattygroves
Are any of the 7s or 8s compound words?
1:20 pm
zoozzoom
TO 7/36 is.
1:21 pm
mattygroves
Well, it's not toegoat. But it should be.
1:22 pm
zoozzoom
go left not right.
1:22 pm
mattygroves
Also, why not toycase - surely that should be a word - a bit of luggage just for carrying playthings
1:23 pm
zoozzoom
ĀÆ\(Ā°_o)/ĀÆ I don't know why.
1:25 pm
zoozzoom
Would you like a clue?
1:25 pm
mattygroves
Yes please!
1:26 pm
zoozzoom
Not bottom + garment worn outside to keep you dry/warm.

Don't panic. I have arrived.
2:39 pm
mattygroves
Oh, thank goodness. I was despairing ;)
2:39 pm
mattygroves
May I have the stats for the 8s please?
2:40 pm
cosdem
Frustrated. Went to 3 different stores. None of them carry 6 feet dryer hoses. Only 4 feet.
2:40 pm
cosdem
ac8/45 but thats the only word I have
2:40 pm
mattygroves
Now that's a first world problem, Cos. I miss my tumble dryer. And washing machine.
2:40 pm
EvaNadine
also an AC 8/50
2:41 pm
cosdem
WalMart.com says the store has it in stock so I go. Nothing. I ask the guy. "Oh we dont sell 4 feet anymore" -- ok update your website then.
2:42 pm
mattygroves
Thanks - have the 45 now - looking for the 50 ;)
2:42 pm
ChrissieDee
Have the 50, looking for the 45 :)
2:43 pm
mattygroves
Gottem both now. Thanks!
2:43 pm
MollyL
Cos, you have to go to a home improvement store, like Loews or Home Depot.
2:44 pm
cosdem
I went to both Molly after Walmart. Same stories.
2:44 pm
cosdem
"You have to order that on-line" all 3 of them.
2:44 pm
MollyL
Who did you buy your dryer from? They should have provided the hose. Did you not have one with your previous dryer?
2:45 pm
cosdem
I'll just go to the Home Depot in the rich part of town.
2:46 pm
ChrissieDee
Thanks for the 8s
2:46 pm
MollyL
Try doing a Google search on "dryer vent cleaning". The people that clean out your dryer hoses usually have them in stock.
2:46 pm
cosdem
MIL gave us her old dryer..
2:46 pm
cosdem
oooh good idea Molly! there is one close by.. thanks!
2:49 pm
cosdem
qu5 is not accepted on a few word game apps I play.
2:52 pm
MollyL
It's picky picky and whatever dictionary or word list the word game adheres to. That makes it confusing if you play more than one. Which is why I stick to this one, as odd as the word list is.
2:59 pm
EvaNadine
time to go trim some hedges. im excited to bust out my brand-new hedge-trimmer! my kinda power-tool. :D
3:08 pm
crosshair
Reading back on the dryer hose problem; you could also buy a pair of 4 footers,cut 2 feet off of one, and splice it all together to get the desired 6 foot hose
3:08 pm
crosshair
Dryer hose splices very easily
3:10 pm
MollyL
Got that Cos? Get out your handy man tools.
: D
3:10 pm
crosshair
And duct tape:)
3:12 pm
crosshair
McGyver to the rescue!
3:12 pm
cosdem
Or I can pay 4.00 online and have it shipped :D
3:12 pm
crosshair
Either or
3:14 pm
cosdem
but thanks for the idea. ill run it by ryan.
3:14 pm
crosshair
No problemo:)
3:16 pm
crosshair
Just back- cut the splice piece on 4 places to a depth of abot 5 inches on each side- easy peasy
3:17 pm
crosshair
Then Red Green it to death:)
3:19 pm
cosdem
lol yeah i might just play it safe.... i dont do no manual labor :P
3:22 pm

3:46 pm
MollyL
Cos, did you not get out your handy man tools? Shame on you.
: P
3:48 pm
Soodle
It's very uncomfortable, Peri. But its around my mouth, so extrememy unsightly, which causes me more anxiety. (Still a vain old thing!!)! Lol.
3:48 pm
periwinkle
:( that does not sound good, Soodle
3:48 pm
Soodle
Picturing Cos in his overalls..... A la Bruce Springstein, back in the day

3:49 pm
Soodle
So what color are the Peri-toes going for the weekend?
3:50 pm
periwinkle
either endless blue which is almost a royal blue or bikini so teeny which is a light periwinkle
3:51 pm
periwinkle
I might even do my fingernails in a very light pink: hi maintenance. who thinks up these names?
3:51 pm
Soodle
On the name alone, Peri, I woukd opt for Bikini So Teeny. But that's just me! ;-)
3:52 pm
periwinkle
:) I will let you know what I decides. the bikini one is pretty but may be too light for toes
3:52 pm
periwinkle

3:53 pm
Soodle

3:57 pm
periwinkle

nite soodle
4:02 pm
mo
soodle .. just read back in the chat .. I have had shingles and I hate to tell you it is very painful. Please do not let anyone close to you ... it is very contageous.
4:07 pm
mo
it stems from when you had chicken pox as a child ... when it raises its ugly head111
4:09 pm
mo
OOH sorry Soodle has gone ... hope she does not suffer.
4:13 pm
mattygroves
Can anyone give me a gentle steer on the co6/24 please?
4:14 pm
mattygroves
Never mind - monkeyed it
4:16 pm
mo
sorry matty ... I was trying to give a clue but you beat me to it!!
4:17 pm
mo
ooh .. phone ..
4:21 pm
MollyL
Oh, sets a vigil for the suffering.
4:24 pm
mo
Molly. Have I upset you in some way?
4:27 pm
72 Temple Owl
float like a butterfly...
4:33 pm
MollyL
<---No upset in the least
4:34 pm
mattygroves
May I please have help with my last two words as it's time for sleep? I need to6/24 and the first pa5/12?
4:39 pm
marilyn992
pa 5 12 add a vowel to the previous word
4:39 pm
MollyL
Not sure why setting a vigil for the suffering would seem as if I was upset *Lights a candle*
4:39 pm
Soodle
Sorry Matty. No help here, I don't have them. And, Mo. The vitriol is aimed at me. You were caught in the crossfire. Not your fault.
4:39 pm
mattygroves
I suspect, Molly, that mo missed the shingles conversation?
4:42 pm
mattygroves
That's the P sorted. Now for the pesky to6 - anyone? Please? Then I can go lights out and put me out of your misery ;)
4:44 pm
mattygroves
Found it - good night all (FW)

4:45 pm

Well I was just trying to be nice. Didn't get the "upset" comment.
4:46 pm
jaxx7
Soodle, so sorry to hear you have shingles. nasty thing. Very painful. Get well soon, me dear. Take it easy and don't kiss any strangers.
4:48 pm
Soodle
Thanks Jaxx. My fuse is short at the moment, between one thing and another. Faectious comments tend ro rile me.
4:50 pm
MollyL
No vitriol intended. How does making a nice comment about suffering people result in vitriol?
4:50 pm
jaxx7
You are not the usual soodle as you aren't well. Try not to transfer the virus to your eyes as it can get even more painful. Damn Herpes virus causes nothing but misery.
4:55 pm
jaxx7
Molly, one of the hardest thing to pick up on when you e-mail someone is the nuance. it is too easy to be misunderstood especially if two lines of conversation get crossed . You did the same to me yesterday.
4:57 pm
MollyL
Okay folks, all I did was make a nice comment about setting a vigil for the suffering. There are several here in Babble chat. If that gets misconstrued, so be it. I didn't email anyone, I just tried to make a positive comment here about the people with problems.
4:57 pm
jaxx7
I always forget to move the cursor back.

5:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
plink. as in the sound a piano key makes.
5:44 pm
crosshair
More like plink as in using a teeny-tiny rock hammer to dig a mine shaft:)
5:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
ah, fw! happy babbing!
5:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think a rock hammer would ding.
5:45 pm
crosshair
Might even ping
5:46 pm
crosshair
These and hundreds of other thoughts are what keep me up at nights:)
5:48 pm
72 Temple Owl
of course, if you say it pings, it pings. no doubt about it. bye all!

cabana boys are welcome to bring a margarita. . . sa** on the rim please
7:10 pm
Lizlin
For a change, it'd be good if you sent some warmth here ;)
7:11 pm
jmcnrick
I would gladly ship it your way lizlin!
7:11 pm
Lizlin
It'll get here soon enough - the days actually aren't cold (except for the wind) but we're feeling it at night.
7:12 pm
jmcnrick
it isn't so hot but the humidity is oppressive with the heat we have
7:13 pm
Lizlin
Humidity is always the problem - it can get humid here but it's only intolerable for a short time. Thank goodness for a/c and a sea breeze.
7:13 pm
jmcnrick
ah well i have no a/c (by choice) but most of my rooms have ceiling fans. . . unfortunately the kitchen is not one of them
7:14 pm
Lizlin
Stuck on my last word and I'm sure it's obvious!
7:14 pm
jmcnrick
does the Y get used in any way?
7:14 pm
Lizlin
We use our fans much more than the a/c - might use that to cool down the bedroom before going to sleep.
7:14 pm
jmcnrick
what does it start with lizlin . . . i could help you look
7:14 pm
Lizlin
Yes, in a few words
7:15 pm
jmcnrick
okay . . . good to konw
7:15 pm
Lizlin
At least 4 words.
7:15 pm
Lizlin
It's the 2nd co 5/12
7:15 pm
jmcnrick
i am so out of practice any more because i work such long hours doing boring work
7:15 pm
jmcnrick
ah. . . of course i see a co4 fish
7:16 pm
Lizlin
I'm so happy that I took early retirement - and I know how lucky I am too!
7:16 pm
jmcnrick
yeah self employment and being a single mother didn't make that much of a possibility for me. . . but i don't mind working i just mind doing boring work to pay the bills. . .
7:17 pm
Lizlin
Found it! Fireworks.
7:17 pm
jmcnrick
whooo hoooo lizlin!!!!!!
7:18 pm
Lizlin
Understand what you mean about boring work - that's the worst. If you enjoy what you're doing it makes work much easier.
7:18 pm
Lizlin
Any clues before I go?
7:18 pm
jmcnrick
these tiny grids make for an empty chog. . . but it seems emptyish most of the time i drop around these days. . . .
7:19 pm
Lizlin
I guess it depends on the time. It does seem more unpredictable than it used to be.
7:19 pm
jmcnrick
yeah . . . i could work 90 hours weeks when i am passionate about it like when i was traveling all the time talking about peace. . . . .
7:20 pm
jmcnrick
then too i could drop in here and always find a friend. . . so the la** nights didn't seem so bad. . .
7:20 pm
Lizlin
I loved teaching - the in front of the class stuff - but the rest of it seemed to become more and more massive and that wasn't enjoyable.
7:20 pm
jmcnrick
my aunt taught for 52 years and she always complained about that!! haha
7:20 pm
Lizlin
There are usually quite a few people around at flip time, but I guess that's pretty late.
7:20 pm
jmcnrick
we called my mother a piker because she only taught about 35 years
7:21 pm
Lizlin
I think all teachers except the young, who know nothing different, complain about that.
7:21 pm
Lizlin
I taught 30 years in London - enough!
7:21 pm
jmcnrick
that is 1 am here. . .when i had the other job it wasn't so bad but these days i usually hit the hay around 10
7:22 pm
Lizlin
OK - well, unless you need some clues, I need to get the day going.
7:22 pm
jmcnrick
no don't let me stop you . . . i'm just dabbling until my mousaka is baked. . .
7:22 pm
jmcnrick
have a great day!
7:22 pm
Lizlin
Yummy! Enjoy and have a good evening. Nice to have caught up with you again.
7:23 pm
jmcnrick
nice to see you too

7:54 pm
TraderKate
HI all... hey jmc, nice to see you. I can clue if needed
7:56 pm
mkg

7:56 pm
TraderKate
the 6 foot dryer hose, sorry can't clue that...
7:57 pm
cosdem
Ridiculous how no store carries them. Only 4 feet or less.
7:57 pm
cosdem
sorry needed to vent.
7:57 pm
mkg
huh? found the dryer hose or the ac 8? i am confused.
7:57 pm
mixi6
being on stage + no me (homohym) + pt of to eat
7:57 pm
TraderKate
lol... sorry for the laugh at your expense.... i thought it was ruru for a second ;)
7:58 pm
mixi6
bad cosdem bad.
7:58 pm
mkg
mixi, the being on stage: 3 letters? and the no me, confused by that one.
7:58 pm
TraderKate
ac 8/50 is to make run/operate (pl)
7:59 pm
cosdem
being confused with ru isnt a bad thing!
7:59 pm
mkg
as in activate but no i where we need it and no v in the grid.
8:00 pm
mixi6

8:01 pm
TraderKate

ahem.....
8:01 pm

8:04 pm
TraderKate
congratulations mixi!!!
8:04 pm
TraderKate
yw cos.... did you get a late start today?
8:04 pm
TraderKate
usually you're chatting and cluing by now...
8:05 pm
cosdem
yeah.. skipped flip due to the size then spent the day trying to find a dryer hose! :)
8:07 pm
TraderKate
have you tried online.... or can you get 2 4 footers and tape them together? (not duct tape - the real duct tape - shiny silver like metal...)
Is it gas or electric dryer?
8:08 pm
cosdem
electric.. i could get it online its only 4 bucks but i kinda need to do laundry like.. yesterday
8:09 pm
TraderKate
then tape 2 togther..it'll do for now
8:09 pm
cosdem
they tried taping but it didnt work.. one of renters is a handyman and he says nothing he can do .. needs a new one?? ill try to duct tape it later
8:10 pm
cosdem
yeah a 2 4 foot would work. why wouldnt it..
8:10 pm
TraderKate
you don't have an old one?
8:10 pm
TraderKate
the tape used on actual ducts will take a much higher heat and stay stuck....
8:10 pm
TraderKate
heating ducts, that is
8:11 pm
cosdem
I get paranoid about doing stuff like that. I get the whatifs. what if this will cause a fire and I die? lol
8:13 pm
TraderKate
as long as you have a proper dryer hose, the taping is fine for a quick job until you get a new one...if using an old hose make sure it's clean inside... lint can build up and that can cause fires - not the joining of two.
8:13 pm
cosdem
yeah that makes sense . frustrating when everything falls apart at once.
8:15 pm
TraderKate
I understand.. and you're under pressure for it to be done yesterday... if you have proper duct tape, the fix will last as long as you want it to... screw one end into the other for some overlap and tape your little heart out :)
8:16 pm
cosdem
ok ill give it a shot. if not just get 2 4 foot ones tomorrow
8:17 pm
TraderKate
if it works you can get the one piece one online... no need to pay for fast shipping :D
8:18 pm
cosdem
thats true.
