Years ago, ARB gave me a formula that works pretty quickly.

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

News?? You found a house??

12:47 am

rururocks

yes.. I put an offer on one in Napa

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

Fantastic!!! What is it like?

12:47 am

Lizlin

Fantastic, Ru

12:47 am

dcseain

cool, ruru, may it consummate for you.

12:47 am

rururocks

it's an older house that has been totally remodeled.

12:48 am

ARB

Ru, you have a mistake : da 4/8 should be da 4/9. there are 2 da 4/9's

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

Bet the view is amazing. How many bedrooms?

12:48 am

rururocks

two bedroom two bath.. a guest house and I'm putting a small swimming pool in and some fruit trees. there is a gigantic basement too that I can make into another area

12:49 am

rururocks

thanks arb.. i'll fix that

12:49 am

dcseain

sounds lovely!

12:49 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely - hope it all works out for you.

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

Sounds perfect!

12:49 am

rururocks

it's just what I've been looking for

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

Perfect timing, all the way around :)

12:50 am

rururocks

nice views from the front porch too

12:50 am

rururocks

yeah..i'm getting a great interest rate

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely good timing on the interest rate.

12:51 am

cybernan

need clues for the sc 6's -- not getting anywhere

12:51 am

rururocks

sc 6 to verbally abuse

12:51 am

cybernan

got the 6/24

12:52 am

rururocks

the 6/21 is a plural

12:52 am

cybernan

got it - ty ruru

12:52 am

rururocks

sc 6 BR's favorite word

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

how soon will you hear if you got the house, ru? Bet you are anxious to get moved in.

12:53 am

Marc Freeman

la7, please?

12:53 am

rururocks

my offer has been accepted dee. I'm in escrow. I have inspections on Wednesday we close in 25 days on Sept 1st

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

plural of la 6... la + grape alcoholic drink

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

That is amazing. You have to be walking on air!

12:54 am

rururocks

I'm pretty happy yes

12:55 am

rururocks

it's not my favorite neighborhood but the house is too nice and my block is all nice houses

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

That is a fast closing date, too, a bit faster than here.

12:55 am

Marc Freeman

sorry I have la7 it is sp7 that I need, please?

12:55 am

rururocks

yeah.. my mortgage broker has to get his ass in gear

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

sp 7 is a plural of sp 6/24 s + a walkway + a vowel (then plural it)

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

Our title companies are usually the delaying factor here.

12:58 am

rururocks

I'm putting a lot of money down on the house so maybe that's the difference

12:58 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

12:59 am

dcseain

that usually does make a huge difference.

12:59 am

dcseain

and ty for the SPs, dee.

VolleymomDee

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

1:04 am

New TV is coming tonight, getting Geek Squad to set it up. 43"

5:26 am

crosshair

very nice. You will love your smart tv

5:27 am

sukee

And I have a fake fireplace, putting the TV on top.

5:27 am

crosshair

and remember, if you get a wireless USB keyboard mouse combo, you can use the tv as a basic computer if you wish

5:27 am

crosshair

as well as for streaming video

5:28 am

sukee

We shall see :) I really want to be able to watch my movies bought through Itunes :)

5:28 am

crosshair

For first timers, the real pain in the butt is getting it talking to your computer wi-fi for the first time

5:28 am

crosshair

After that it is no problem

5:28 am

sukee

That is why I got the Geek Squad to come, he is going to get it working and give me a tutorial :)

5:29 am

crosshair

We bout ours for Netflix and it has paid for itself three times over in the last 2 and a half years

5:29 am

crosshair

bought

5:29 am

sukee

Oh, you mean the other. :)

5:30 am

sukee

And, I picked up an iPad mini.

5:30 am

crosshair

cool

5:30 am

sukee

I have bought enough electronics this year now :)

5:30 am

crosshair

gets expensive fast

5:31 am

sukee

So now I have a camera and taking lots of kitty pictures :)

5:31 am

crosshair

:) nNow you can post them on FB on the black cat appreciation page:)

5:32 am

sukee

I'll look for that :) Tobey, the black one, has been so affectionate all of a sudden. Before he would run if I picked him up but three times yesterday he crawled up in my lap.

5:33 am

crosshair

i'm He*** the 8th I am, He*** the 8th, I am, I am, I got married to the widow next door, she's been married seven times before...

5:33 am

crosshair

Toby will be your cuddle kitty. All black cats seem to be.

5:33 am

sukee

and every one was an He...

5:34 am

sukee

Just hope they begin learning to keep the claws in :)

5:34 am

crosshair

One of our black cats, Sirius Black, likes to curl up beside me and sleep at night

5:35 am

crosshair

Our other black kitty, Amos, used to wake me up by sitting on my chest and grooming my beard.

5:41 am

sukee

These guys are still locked out of the bedroom at night :)

5:41 am

Marc Freeman

Could I have the stats for the lone 'n' in the bottom row, please?

5:42 am

MollyL

ni 5/12

5:42 am

crosshair

And as for claws, You will get punctured many times over the years. Black cats (ours at least) seem to have high hunter/killer instincts, and grow the claws real fast to go with it:)

5:42 am

doseffing

... ni 5/12

5:43 am

crosshair

And of course they hate getting them trimmed:(

5:43 am

Marc Freeman

thanks one more please, I have the si4, I need the stats for the other 's' on 4th column, please?

5:44 am

sukee

I haven't been able to hold them long enough to grab their paws :)

5:46 am

crosshair

In the early going, you have to learn the fine art of "wrapping a cat" when it comes to trimming nails:)

5:46 am

sukee

SW 5/18

5:46 am

periwinkle

good morning all. I don't see that ni5/12

5:47 am

sukee

On the bright side I found the clippers I lost years ago when Boo hid them, he hated them. I ended up getting the vet to trim his nails.

5:47 am

crosshair

However, they do settle down--eventually

5:47 am

sukee

Hi peri, it sounds like a well-known tennis player.

5:47 am

Marc Freeman

thanks got it

5:47 am

periwinkle

so it does, ty sukee and Molly

5:48 am

sukee

5:49 am

This grid is so much easier than yesterdays.

5:49 am

periwinkle

help with the lone E pls

5:50 am

sukee

plural of birds

5:50 am

crosshair

Ued to get a laught out of those "pedi-paws" commercials back when we had cable. i mean common, the mere thought of touching my cats paws for an extended period with a battery driven device that sounds like a dentist drill?? I would have to have a death-wish!

5:50 am

periwinkle

sheesh, ty sukee

5:51 am

sukee

I was looking at those online :)

5:51 am

sukee

No problem, I just found it myself.

5:51 am

crosshair

Run a drill next to them, and observe. that will be the same reaction you will get with Pdei-paws

5:52 am

sukee

So, sent a request to join the Black Cat Appreciation page :)

5:53 am

crosshair

Wife loves that page

5:54 am

crosshair

it is a worthy page. it puts out awareness to the plight of black cat adoption issues.

5:54 am

sukee

nbt

5:55 am

sukee

Yep, Tobey was quiet at first but now he is the instigator of most trouble around here :) He can now jump on the countertops like Damon but does less frequently.

5:56 am

crosshair

there is still this stigma attached to black cats. Many still find them boring as well, and seek out more vibrantly colored kitties. However, you will quickly find theat they have incredible personalities.

5:56 am

sukee

As I think I said I had planned to get a black cat whatever :) I have heard they have a hard time getting adopted for silly reasons.

5:56 am

periwinkle

I have the stats for the 7's but do not see any of them

5:56 am

crosshair

Oh, and those pretty window blinds? You better stock spares...

5:57 am

sukee

Thankfully, I do not have window blinds :)

5:57 am

periwinkle

found pa7

5:57 am

crosshair

We actually got to the point where we cut out a few slats in the bottom corner for the cats to get up and down easier. it saves the blind

5:58 am

periwinkle

found the other pa7

5:58 am

sukee

wtg, I have one of them

5:58 am

sukee

and the second

5:59 am

rubyfoo

my cat, Clarissa Fitzrour Kelley, used to awaken me by kneading my chest (all 14 lbs. of her!) but was very careful with her claws.

6:05 am

rubyfoo

And she was the greatest hunter, ever, unfortunately, sometimes glass would get in the way and she'd stalk for an hour, then spring and crash

6:05 am

rubyfoo

and Hello

6:05 am

rubyfoo

6:05 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:06 am

rubyfoo

She would hunt and bring back trophies, usually not quite dead so I'd have to finish them off

6:07 am

6:15 am

rubyfoo

crossy, I need for you to fly over here and kick some butt! You-know-who is getting crazier and crazier every day. Happily, his daughter is coming on the 22nd and will help me with the transition

6:15 am

crosshair

Wish i could be there for you, Ruby!

6:16 am

crosshair

I am glad that the troops are finally rallying for you!

6:16 am

rubyfoo

I am managing my illness pretty well, but he makes it much harder

6:17 am

crosshair

I would toss that string bean over my shoulder and take him to the pub for the evening to get him out of your hair;)

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Last night he talked at me for 5 hours, straight.

6:19 am

crosshair

Good grief...

6:19 am

rubyfoo

It's a big house but I couldn't escape. Wherever I went, he followed, even with me slamming doors in his face

6:20 am

crosshair

Time to dose his dinner. make sure he has a good sleep-every night:)

6:20 am

rubyfoo

I've tried Xanax, but it has no effect

6:20 am

crosshair

One oxy and two whiskies will do it.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I have enough oxy's around here to kill a horse. I've cut down on the amount I need since I've been taking it on schedule.

6:22 am

crosshair

Ill take him to a strip club. that will keep him quiet for the night:))

6:25 am

crosshair

Toss him in a wheelchair and he can spend the night feeding the ladies on-stage some Euros:) You get a nice cuppa in peace and a curl up with a good book lol

6:27 am

I just tested Lickety's it is running fine with today's list. refresh and clean out your temp files and cookies

7:45 am

Anniebrook

cross, do you have babble expert?

7:45 am

crosshair

yes

7:46 am

crosshair

Do not use it often though:)

7:46 am

do you have today's list on babble expert?

7:46 am

Yes i have today's list

7:47 am

I wrote to Lickety as mrp suggested.

7:48 am

crosshair

well, it is working. maybe change browsers

7:50 am

crosshair

Currently, I use Google Chrome 90% of the time

7:50 am

Anniebrook

will try that

7:50 am

crosshair

My beloved prefers firefox:)

7:51 am

crosshair

Only thing we use I.E for is to load better browsers:)))

7:52 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!

7:52 am

Uneaixoise

love me some Chrome! :-)

7:52 am

crosshair

"I.E: the browser that loads more browsers than any other browser!" lol

7:54 am

Anniebrook

tried google chrome....didnt work

7:54 am

Anniebrook

will make some coffee, that should do the trick :)

7:55 am

crosshair

Have you cleaned out all your temp files and cookies?

7:56 am

Anniebrook

no, I dont know how to do that. This is a new computer. Only a month old.

7:58 am

crosshair

it is amazing how fast the crap builds up.

7:59 am

crosshair

If you are using chrome, there is a tab in the top right of your screen just under the red X. click it, then select History and clear the history.

7:59 am

Anniebrook

will try that later.

7:59 am

crosshair

it wil say "clear browsing data"

8:00 am

crosshair

takes 15 seconds

8:01 am

Then i advose loading C Cleaner and learning how to use it. it is my go-to for a tidy computer

Judi

Murderer!

8:24 am

Judi

Good morning, all!

8:33 am

Judi

Hello? Hello? Hmm. The echo is uncomfortable.

8:43 am

Buggie

Microsoft Security Essentials is a very bad idea. Microsoft has given up on the antivirus, it's only designed as a built in security now, to make sure everyone has at least a very basic antivirus. Last I checked it's detections levels were around 85% (compared to all others over 95%)

8:44 am

Buggie

(and Hi ;-) )

8:46 am

Judi

Hi, Buggie. Pretty low standards at Microsoft.

8:48 am

Buggie

Don't get me wrong, it's great that Windows 8 and 10 have an integrated automatically activated antivirus, too many people have infected machines with no protection whatsoever. I just wish it was clearer that it's really only a temporary solution until you can install a real antivirus.

8:49 am

Judi

I think I have three different ant-virus, anti-spam, anti-ad ware programs running behind the other essential stuff. Redundancy is always a good idea.

8:51 am

Buggie

Depends exactly what you mean. Antivirus redundancy is NOT a good idea, as 2 different antivirus programs will conflict with each other. However adding anti-spam and adware programs on top is definitely a good idea :)

8:52 am

MLFAN17

hello

8:52 am

Judi

Maybe it's a pop-up blocker. Either way, I'm covered and things are running smoothly.

8:52 am

MLFAN17

buggie what do you mean by a real anti virus?

8:54 am

Buggie

Microsoft's antivirus isn't a "real" antivirus, in that it has a rather low protection rate. Probably the best free "real" antivirus at the moment is Avira.

8:54 am

MLFAN17

ah

8:55 am

MLFAN17

is it free is that why its so low in protection?

8:57 am

MLFAN17

4th column o?

8:57 am

Buggie

No, Microsoft has just given up the fight to be in the top antivirus products, realising that it's too much work. So now it's included in Windows to make sure everyone has at least some basic protection. Avira is free and is actually much better that most paid programs

8:57 am

MLFAN17

I used ot use avira

8:58 am

Buggie

all 3 o words have to do with seniors

8:58 am

MLFAN17

the most recent one i used though not on this computer is Microsoft security essentials which i enjoyed having until the computer got hacked from facebook

8:58 am

Buggie

Avira had a bad reputation in the past because they went a little mad with their ads. Now you just get a notification every couple of days, no big deal.

8:59 am

MLFAN17

duh ty got ol 4/5

8:59 am

MLFAN17

i only use free anti virus

8:59 am

Buggie

you don't have any protection on your computer now?

9:00 am

MLFAN17

something the computer people put in yes i think so. but before was the most common one which i hate immensely

9:01 am

Buggie

ah, well it's also important to actually like your antivirus :)

mrloser

I had McAfee several years ago and my decktop got whacked anyway. I have had Kaspersky ever since and never had any problems. Also Newegg usually sells a 3 user version for 50.00 with a $50.00 rebate so it ends up free.
