we in North America have a bit of an edge on the Yiddish, that i've learned through time here in the chog.
1:07 am
grannyrose
but eyes toll works, i nearly went blind looking for that word.
1:09 am
cybernan
you may have an edge in your area, seain -- but not here -- don't think I know one Jewish person living here and I'm pretty sure there is no temple
1:12 am

I really get annoyed when there are foreign language words that are not in common usage with english

2:42 am
sprite
am down to 8. Let me know if you ne4 help.
2:42 am
grannyrose
lol. i tlod doc. john it is really funny. i have spent so long ignoring the pain, and, now, because i have to fill out a pain response chart, i have to focus on it.
2:43 am
Lizlin
Weird - quite a contrast.
2:43 am
sprite
oh yes, that is very contrary to your normal mode. It is hard to do, lol
2:44 am
sprite
(one more flippin' S, mumblemumble)

Missing one 7
2:44 am

2:44 am

Useful for the record.
2:45 am

oh, and son simon is participating for the 6th year in Movember.
2:47 am
Lizlin
Any idea what's happened to Lickety recently?
2:47 am
Lizlin
Such a great cause.
2:48 am
grannyrose
the men grow sponsored moustaches during the month of november to fund raise for men's health.
2:48 am
grannyrose
*giggle* don took one look at simon's picture and asked...can we sponsor per hair? IT WOULD BE CHEAPER.
2:48 am
sprite
I have se4 him a headsup, Liz. Sometimes the clues don't update correctly and then the next days won't update either. He can fix it easily.
2:49 am
grannyrose
i also have emailed him just after the flip.

4:34 am
ivesy3
2 days tin a row with no list from lickety waaaaa
4:35 am
MollyL
It makes everyone very aware of how dependent we have become on his list. : D
4:35 am
ivesy3
i know i am lol
4:44 am
MollyL
Lickety's list makes finding those few you are missing so much easier. Using an Excel spread sheet (which is what I do with a user made list) is much more tedious.
4:52 am
ivesy3
makes a large grid difficult without lickety. but i thank those that post their list.
4:52 am
zoozzoom
Always greatful for the Lickety! Also very greatful for lists people put into their profiles even if it is missing a word or two sometimes.
4:54 am
ivesy3
i would b lost without a list
4:55 am

oh god i have a new laptop and i always put my hand on something that makes pages go very very small or very very big lol

ivesy3

5:37 am
sukee
I assume they are talking about the program?
5:38 am
MollyL
Like I said earlier, go to Lickety's clue page...http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html.\n..and refresh
5:38 am
Anniebrook
I have no idea what I am referring to. Where do I find the program? Is it on lickety
5:38 am
Anniebrook
lickety's page?
5:38 am

MollyL
Annie, are you using Internet Explorer?
5:54 am
Anniebrook
I dont think so
5:54 am
MollyL
Refreshing while on Lickety's page (not the Babble page) should bring up today's clues.
5:54 am
Anniebrook
I just open Babble Expert
5:55 am
Anniebrook
I did that, will do again
5:55 am
lbdawger
hmm, i would think expert would automatically refresh.
5:55 am
MollyL
I don't know what to say then. Sukee is on Babble Expert as well and she says it is up to date after a refresh.
5:56 am
sukee
It was not updated yesterday but today has Thursday's clues.
5:57 am

Anyway, time for a break 33 to go.

6:12 am
car.eeyore
I can see them, but I take it you cannot. :(
6:12 am
Anniebrook
car. you are correct
6:12 am
Marc Freeman
No the browser, firefox, chrome when you open up your computer and want to get onto the internet you have to open up a browser. Which one are you using?
6:14 am
Anniebrook
I open my computer and go straight to Babble Expert but when I want info I go to google chrome
6:15 am
Marc Freeman
OK open up Chrome, in the address box put in www.playbabble.com. Then sign in and go to locket's list and see if that works
6:15 am
Anniebrook
okay , will do
6:16 am
Anniebrook
then I am closing Babble Expert
6:17 am
Marc Freeman

Where would I find that link?, Molly
7:09 am
MollyL
No, that is just a web page with Lickety's clues on it. Either copy the link and paste it in your browser address bar, or go to regular Babble (playbabble.com) and click on the LICKETY'S BABBLE CLUES link at the bottom of the page
7:11 am
Anniebrook
Molly, whenI go to regular Babble they treat me as a new player...what am I doing wrong?
7:12 am
Anniebrook
Is there a plACE TO log in?
7:12 am
Anniebrook
will try what you just said,,be back soon
7:13 am
MollyL
Yes, but you don't have to log in to get to the clue page. Just click on the LICKETY link at the bottom of the page.
7:18 am
Anniebrook
I opened AOL, then opened www.playbabble.com ,then clicked on Lickety's babbble clues on the bottom but I still have Tuesday...what am i doing wrong
7:19 am
MollyL
First of all, why are you in AOHELL?
7:20 am
Anniebrook
That is the way I opened www.playbabble.com
7:21 am
Anniebrook
I am going to try and open babble on google chrome
7:21 am
MollyL
There you go
7:24 am
Anniebrook
google chrome is treating me as if I never was on Babble before..should I sign up again?
7:24 am
MollyL
You need to log in (top of the page, above MY ACCOUNT)
7:24 am
Riverdance
you should just be able to log in
7:24 am
MollyL
But you don't need to do that to click on the Lickety link.
7:26 am
Anniebrook
be back
7:28 am
Anniebrook
I clicked on Lickety and only the list came up/ When I opened BE Tuesday was still there
7:28 am
Anniebrook
be back, will try again
7:30 am
MollyL
But you have to refresh after you click on Lickety's page.
7:32 am
MollyL
I have a feeling this is one of those things better off "shown" to someone than trying to explain it in a chat room. Annie still seems to be working with Babble Expert instead of regular Babble. At least I assume that is what BE refers to.
7:32 am
Anniebrook
On google chrome I get today's list (but only the list)
7:32 am
Frances
i was having the same problem. i kept force refreshing and was still seeing clues from Tuesday. I then closed down my computer and when I started it up again I clicked on my babble expert icon and everything is there, including clues for today.
7:32 am
MollyL
Frances, did you do a hard close or a restart?
7:33 am
Frances
Hard close.
7:33 am
MollyL
Sounds like that is Annie's only option at this point.
7:34 am
Frances
My thought too Molly.
7:35 am
Anniebrook
Forgive my ignorance, what is a hard close?
7:36 am
MollyL
When you turn your computer completely off, instead of hitting RESTART
7:36 am
Anniebrook
Closing as I close off for the night?
7:36 am
Anniebrook
Okay, will be back
7:41 am
Anniebrook
nope, sorry to say, I still have tuesday's clues
7:44 am
Anniebrook
going to try something
7:44 am
Anniebrook

7:44 am

No matter what I try, I still have Tuesday's clues

7:55 am

on my optional info page (my account) my user name is not showing, "show player name is in blue" how can I get my name to show...perhaps, that is the problem?
7:55 am
Anniebrook
aafter this, I give up
7:56 am
MollyL
Annie, have you emailed Lickety?
7:56 am
Anniebrook
I wrote to Dr. G...will check to see if I emailed Lickety

No I don't think you have a virus. I just don't understand why REFRESH and a shut down, reopen are not giving you current web pages.
8:06 am

sorry, annie....i don't know the URL for expert...
8:08 am

Annie, question, how do you REFRESH?
8:08 am
penquis
are you having trouble refreshing Expert or the normal Lickety page?
8:09 am
Anniebrook
On top in the blue rectangle, that is what I click
8:09 am
Anniebrook
pen, I am having trouble getting today's clues on Babble Expert
8:09 am
Anniebrook
Molly, the box that says "refresh clues"
8:10 am
penquis
ah....can you get the clues on Lickety's regular page?
8:10 am
Anniebrook
yes, I think so, but it does not help me
8:11 am
Anniebrook
no I really cannnot the clues on the regular page, penquis
8:11 am
MollyL
Okay, try refreshing with CNTRL F5
8:12 am
penquis
the Expert page is not a normal URL...when you try to refresh, have the URL page for Lickety on the screen...
8:12 am
phaeton
Expert is a download...it might be corrupt and she needs to reload it.
8:13 am
penquis
that's what i was thinking....
8:13 am
MollyL
Exoert is fraught with problems.
8:15 am
Anniebrook
Yikes, I could never reload Expert. I will have to get someone to do itfor me.
8:15 am
Anniebrook
This is the first time I have had a problem with Expert.
8:17 am
phaeton
my expert is working fine...so it has to be your computer or program. did you shut it down and try to reopen it Annie?
8:17 am
Anniebrook
Thank you all for helping me. I will not bother you any longer. I appreciate you all.
8:18 am
Anniebrook
phae, Yes, I shut down my computer and the program and reopened and still Tuesday
8:18 am
MollyL
Annie, like I said earlier, this stuff is much easier if someone is "showing" you instead of trying to guide you via a chat forum.

gewurtz is way too sweet for me but a huge fan of reislings
10:29 am
rururocks
Beaujolais. I recommend the 2013 Piron Morgon Cote de Py or the Georges Duboeuf Fleurie
10:29 am
rururocks
gewurzt can be very dry chica
10:30 am
hego
I don't like sweet either. Not with food.
10:30 am
rururocks

10:30 am
rururocks
Gassman's is very dry
10:30 am
Chica15
Good to know! I've only had the very, very sweet ones. Almost like a dessert wine.
10:30 am
Chica15
I'll have to try one of the drier ones
10:31 am
rururocks
it's because of all the herbs and spices at Thanksgiving that lighter wines work better
10:31 am
rururocks
Joseph Swan makes a killer dry Gewurztraminer from Saralee's vineyard. Not sure what state you live in
10:31 am

God yes, a light wine with a heavy meal is okay with this non-wino

Molly dear, I finally got today's clues and I want to thank you again for your help. You didnt give up.
10:46 am
MollyL
My clan is usually busy drinking other things (but we have wine with dinner) so the low alcohol thing is no problem.
10:46 am
MollyL
How did you finally get them Annie? And no problem, always glad to help if I can.
10:47 am
Anniebrook
Molly, sorrry to say but I am not sure. I was playing around with all the sites it was on (3) and I have no idea what I did which is usually the case. In other areas of my life I am not so ditzy.
10:48 am
rururocks
you will like it a lot TO if you can find it. it is really great stuff for very little $$ and it goes with anything on the table

10:52 am
72 Temple Owl
hi annie
10:54 am
rururocks
it is surely available in NJ
10:54 am
rururocks
and in the discount stores there it is probably even less.. New Jersey has tons of discount stores for wine
10:59 am
72 Temple Owl

Total wine carries it? Great.

11:12 am
rururocks
you should have told me I would have been happy to advise them on restaurants and things to do.. I'm glad they're pouring good stuff for you.
11:13 am
Anniebrook
About 8 of them go on a wine tour of Napa every year. I gave them your name. Told them if they ran into you "Anniebrook says hi"
11:17 am
rururocks
you can give them my email if they ever need recommendations.. but if they're on a tour.. they probably are already pre-set.
11:17 am
Anniebrook
I will be happy to give them your email. Thank you.

I'm trying to imagine one of my kids sending this kind of email: Hi, my Mother plays a word game with you on the computer and she said you could advise me about restaurants and things to do in Napa.

11:24 am

11:24 am

Actually the surgery was a big success and she is doing pretty well since that.
11:25 am

It's nice to know that Ruru is willing to advise children what kind of wine to drink while in Napa.
11:25 am

11:26 am
MollyL
Thanks Annie
11:26 am

Thank goodness for that, Ru. Jared is a major creep. Perhaps some jailhouse justice is in order for him.
11:27 am

just read the chog -- you must be thrilled with that good news, molly
11:27 am

I think his sentencing is coming up.. he's trying for a plea for reduction of sentencing. Hopefully they throw the book at him

Regardless of no prior convictions, I doubt there's any judge that would let a child molester skate on anything.

That guy gave me the creeps BEFORE I knew he was a child perv. Sorry, but anyone who loses weight eating exclusively at Subway has a screw loose.
11:30 am

Thanks Nan. I am glad to hear that the surgery went so well. She and my son have been battling this for a long time. They need a break.

As you have said.
7:11 pm
MollyL
I had a fascinating discussion with a psychologist today about Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing in regards to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Not sure I buy into that line of thinking, but it is an amazing treatment breakthrough.
7:12 pm
penquis
yes, i have heard of positive results with that....
7:13 pm
MollyL
I have great respect for body/mind/healing therapy, but I'm not sure I can believe that the whole "re-training the eye movement" thing is that effective.
7:14 pm
penquis
well i wonder if what is done affects how the brain works....
7:16 pm
MollyL
It is kind of a "brain re-training" therapy as well. It's based on right and left hemisphere brain cognition. (Sorry to start an interesting conversation here when the status quo is weather, cats and dogs)
7:17 pm
penquis
i have seen kids control their brain waves on a computer....it was in a therapy for ADHD....
7:20 pm
MollyL
I have issues with digitally controlled brain waves. I believe in therapy that retrains the brain how to process past trauma, but when it comes to digital re-training , I take a big pause.
7:20 pm
zoozzoom
I have had some sessions of EMDR A while back. It has helped me in some ways. But it has not cured me so to speak.
7:21 pm
penquis
well there is a lot to be said for mind over matter....i think the brain can be trained to do a lot more than it does now....
7:21 pm
penquis
glad to hear it, zoom...
7:21 pm
MollyL
Thanks for your input Zoom. It's always nice to hear from someone who has actually been involved in that kind of therapy.
7:21 pm

Whilst the light are going from right to left or left to right I was also tapped on the shoulder too.

brain is not 100% tonight...
7:22 pm
MollyL
Pen, I agree that the brain has new frontiers. I am not sure that doing that with computers is the right way to go, though.
7:22 pm
zoozzoom
It is supposed to help the brain process a bad memory of an experience you have had.
7:23 pm
penquis
it's just one way of measuring the effects of thoughts and actions on the brain....
7:23 pm
penquis
yes, zooz.....what i was talking about was a form of ADHD therapy...
7:24 pm
penquis
it's purpose is helping kids identify how they can increase their focus....
7:24 pm
MollyL
Yes Zoom, I'm just not sure that the EMDR "re-training" is the right way to do that.
7:24 pm
zoozzoom
Yes it is. sorry, Pen I did not mean to jump in on yourconvo. I just popped on and saw a couple of posts did not read all of them.
7:25 pm
penquis
no problem at all, zooz....i always like to hear about people's experience with things like that...
7:25 pm
zoozzoom
For, Molly, I agree not sure if that would help or not. ADHD
7:26 pm
zoozzoom
That was supposed to say For ADHD.
7:27 pm
penquis
it's not the same treatment...doesn't work the same way....
7:28 pm
zoozzoom
EDMR can also help people with phobias so I was told. like scared of flying, Heights, spiders etc.
7:28 pm
penquis
probably being tried with all forms of anxiety disorders...
7:29 pm
zoozzoom
I take it it is going on the premise of a bad experience and the memory of it has not been processed by the brain and is stuck there.
7:30 pm
zoozzoom
Anyway I am waffling on here, I really need to get into bed and get some shut eye. Have a good evening, Pen & Molly :-)
7:30 pm
MollyL
A great majority of post traumatic stress disorder comes from childhood trauma. Your brain does not process that in the same way that your adult brain processes things. I think talk therapy is much more effective for people still dealing with trauma from their past.
7:32 pm
penquis
i guess sometimes it doesn't work....so people try something else....
7:32 pm
penquis
goodnight, zooz...

7:35 pm
MollyL
Seriously, if I were a person traumatized by something in my childhood, and some therapist told me that they were going to "re-train my brain" with an eye movement method, I would look at them like they were more nuts than I am and ask for my $250 session payment back.

Zoom and Pen, thanks for your ideas on this subject. Sorry to clutter up the normally "ask for a clue and get your answer" forum with an intellectual discussion.

White wine and chocolate for me

I think if you live by a lake, there is nothing that a conversation with water spirits can't cure. But that is just me, dreaming of one day living by a lake.
8:19 pm
penquis
my brother lives on a lake...well across a dirt road from one...you can see it clearly from his deck....
8:19 pm
penquis
he bought the place in 1976 for $25,000...the price included a new well...now it's worth more than ten times that...
8:21 pm
penquis
Molly....do you know of a *** House and Museum in Baltimore? ....doing a crossword puzzle....
8:22 pm
MollyL
Poe? As in Edgar Allan?
8:22 pm
penquis
ah....could be....thanks!
8:26 pm
phandmd
Yes, Molly, living on a lake is nice, but I only live very near the lake, not on it... Still quite good! But the weather was not the kind of weather to enjoy the lake today anyway. But Ahhh, the wine...!
8:27 pm
MollyL
Wow, it is 63 degrees here today. Fine lake weather for me.
8:27 pm
penquis
only up to mid 40s here today...
8:29 pm
phandmd
yes, 63 degrees, but wet...
8:30 pm
MollyL
Oh rain doesn't bother me when it comes to enjoying a lake. I actually like the sound of rain on the water.
8:32 pm
penquis
i am heading out....my colonoscopy is catching up with me....g'nite all....
8:33 pm
MollyL
Goodnight Pen. I hope your "scoped" parts feel better tomorrow.
8:33 pm
penquis
thanks, molly....bye!
8:33 pm

take care, Pen.

I guess I am not as outdoorsy as you, Molly.
8:37 pm
MollyL
Could be Phan. I am happy outdoors than I am indoors.
8:44 pm
phandmd
I do enjoy the outdoors, just not in foul weather...
8:45 pm
MollyL
That's fine. Everyone has their own way of enjoying the outdoors. I like rain, as long as I don't have to drive in it.
8:47 pm
phandmd
Yeah, don't enjoy driving in rain either, but it's better than driving in snow!
8:47 pm
phandmd
I guess I would say I am a fair weather outdoor lover! lol.
8:48 pm
MollyL
I agree. And driving in snow is made worse by all the idiots who don't know how to drive in it.
8:53 pm
sandyloo
I have no idea how to drive in snow!
8:55 pm
MollyL
I would guess that is not a problem when you live in Australia.
8:56 pm
sandyloo
lol that's it Molly - I have seen snow but have never seen it falling
8:56 pm
phandmd
All right, I guess I am off to bed now... It's another day at work tomorrow...
