3:38 am
rubyfoo
sorry, is there coffee in the PB?
3:38 am
grannyrose
how are you ruby??
3:39 am
rubyfoo
freezig, sitting huddled in front of the fire, but the sun is iut, so it will warm up later
3:39 am
grannyrose
don't you have a hot water bottle?
3:40 am
rubyfoo
how is your pain control going?
3:40 am
grannyrose
getting a little better, thanx. sweetie. how is your pain?
3:40 am
rubyfoo
last time I used it, I had to chage the sheets, have been distrutful ever since
3:41 am
grannyrose
oh dear. not good.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
It varies, day to day, but manageable
3:41 am
rubyfoo
sorry about the typos
3:42 am
rubyfoo
I have nbt but nothing bigger than a è (and not many of those)
3:42 am
grannyrose
i am going into hospital in 10 days for an overnight ketamine infusion. apparently it should last longer. it will be 12 weeks since i have had some ketamine by then. so the magnesium every 2 weeks is definitely helping.
3:43 am
rubyfoo
7, need to shift on this keyboard to get numbers
3:44 am
rubyfoo
can you sleep during the infusiin?
3:44 am
grannyrose
ruby, un8, 10, 9 combo. to take the sewing material out of the needle. present tense, past tense and plural.
3:45 am
rubyfoo
ty, rosie, didn't even have the th6, duh me
3:45 am
grannyrose
lol...us5ly do so. and overnight allows me to go to sleep without the car journey home after it is finished.
3:46 am
rubyfoo
sounds like a good plan!
3:47 am
grannyrose
how is burt coping with his new living arrangements?
3:48 am

3:49 am
grannyrose
yay for ruby, she's the best. hurrah for ruby. she has stood the test....lollll
3:49 am
rubyfoo
He doesn't understand where he is, so I've told him it's a special hotel for old people. He keeps falling and they've put his mattress on the floor, but I'm seeing the director about that today
3:50 am
rubyfoo
nice poem
3:50 am
grannyrose
that's routine ruby. a mattress on the floor is the safest place for him.
3:51 am
rubyfoo
We'v" been waiting almost " weeks for an Alzheimer's bed and at these prices! LOL
3:52 am
rubyfoo
The problem is getting him up from there and the fact that he doesn't communicate much, just remains focused on moi!
3:53 am
grannyrose
it's hard i know, sweetie. every now and again pause, and take a deep breath. i know you needed everything yesterday.
3:54 am
grannyrose
at least he is in a good place now. you know that.
3:58 am
rubyfoo
It's supposed to be the best place, but they don't even provide big towels
3:59 am
rubyfoo
It's hard to imagine what the lesser places are like
4:00 am
grannyrose
the smaller towels are the norm dearest. it6 is all about the almighty dollar, you know th4. the larger towels would cost too much to launder and dry.
4:01 am
grannyrose
lolll please ignore the it6, it is supposed to be just ' it '
4:02 am
rubyfoo
but this place is double the price of the one out in the country, but it had a one-year waiting list and this place is much closer
4:02 am
grannyrose
i know honey. again i say it is all about the money they can make. sad but true.
4:03 am
rubyfoo
At least his rooml is lovely, even has a view
4:04 am
rubyfoo
no balcony, though LOL
4:04 am
grannyrose
at the risk of being facetious does he notice the view?
4:05 am
rubyfoo
No, but it makes me feel better...

rubyfoo
I think aussie should be accepted
4:17 am
zoozzoom
There are 671.6 miles between the two islands. We are in the south isle of skye is way up north.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
aah, so your weather is better

4:18 am
zoozzoom
Yes, Ruby. it has been very mild for the time of year here. It is at the moment 13.3c here!
4:20 am

They need extra food because it's so cold
4:29 am
grannyrose
yeah, yeah, ruby.
4:30 am
zoozzoom
You will get like my father if you are not careful. He is so fussy on what he eats it is silly. He will only eat smashed potato beans and an egg all wound up in a heap. one big pile of gloop. Yuck!
4:33 am
zoozzoom
No Sprite today then, Rose?
4:33 am
grannyrose
hokay, have had me pills. am in my jammies. my pillow is singing it's siren song. xoxox zooz. hope you have a great day. if you see the lovely sprite please give her a hug and a kiss from me. and of course, keep one of each for yourself.

8:32 am
rururocks
what happened?
8:32 am
MimiCat
Yep. We spoke a bit about our mother and she is now 84 and apparently nearly died from an abdominal aneurysm and is quite frail. Haven't had contact with her for about as long as my sister....there were "issues."

I never go on FB because I basically hate it but she went on and asked that I call her. I'm the eldest of the six and she's the youngest. She and I have different fathers from the other 4.
8:37 am
rururocks
wow.. he got around your dad
8:38 am
rururocks
I don't understand having multiple families (the concept)
8:38 am
rururocks
but that's me
8:39 am
MimiCat
Me either but our mother started early at 19 with me and was already pregnant with my brother before her divorce was final from my bio father.
8:39 am
rururocks
wow.. it took me two years to get divorced
8:40 am
rururocks
did you stay in touch with your father?
8:41 am
MimiCat
I don't remember anything before age 5 (which was when she actually left and never came back) and my paternal grandmother and her fourth husband adopted me, so I was raised with my bio father as my brother. I'm my own sister and my own aunt. Told you it was complicated. I come from a long line of very "colorful" women.
8:42 am
MimiCat
I didn't know the truth about all this until I was 21 and my mother/grandmother died.
8:42 am
rururocks
your mom deserted you guys?
8:42 am
MimiCat
Always basically hated bio father/brother. Only person I've ever known who had NO redeeming qualities whatsoever.
8:43 am
rururocks
I could introduce you to a few
8:43 am
MimiCat
All this will be in my book if I live long enough to finish it!
8:44 am
MimiCat
I can usually find something good even if it is a small thing, but not with him. He was a cruel, self-concerned and evil person. Glad I didn't know I was bio related to him until I became an adult.
8:45 am
gran
No problems - found the re's

Yay for red shoes! I have to stop myself from buying them. I think I have 5 pairs, which isn't really THAT many, if you think about it. 2 pumps (which I bought for a friend's wedding), 1 ballet flats, 1 wedge sandal, and, of course, the sneakers in my profile pic. I'd love some red cowgirl boots.

Here are some links you'll like to Converse stuff in Lisa Weedn's Etsy shop. She's one of my favorite artists. I met through the Etsy messaging system and we instantly knew we were kindred spirits. She even sent me the Kindred pillow! She makes things by order in different sizes and prices.

I have no idea about the rankings - sorry.
4:35 pm
MollyL
You have to click REFRESH after you finish a grid. If you don't, there is a chance that your daily score will not be tabulated. This has happened to me before.
4:38 pm
aebmusica
No dcseain I didn't miss any because of the holiday.
4:38 pm
Dianne
Molly - I never knew that.
4:39 pm
aebmusica
So what do I do now Molly....I've never refreshed before.
4:40 pm
MollyL
Now, you will be at 1025 until you solve another 30 days of grids completely. That is what happens when you miss a day of not finishing. I would suggest not only refreshing when done, but refreshing while playing. The word list drops words if you don't.
4:40 pm
aebmusica
I don't have a rEFRESH key?
4:41 pm
MollyL
Everyone has a refresh key. It's a part of your browser, not Babble.
4:41 pm
MollyL
You have never refreshed your screen on your computer?
4:42 pm
aebmusica
NO...I have Restart on my browser but no Refresh.
4:43 pm
MollyL
Every browser has a refresh option. It usually looks like a round arrow icon at the top of your screen. CNTRL + F5 will also refresh your page.
4:45 pm
aebmusica
I just did that and it said to leave a message but with no place to leave a message?
4:46 pm
MollyL
What? There is no option to leave a message when you refresh your screen. Perhaps you better get some help from someone who can show you how to use your computer.
4:48 pm
lynxxx
Good Morning. I have had the same problem so, now, as a matter of course I always re-open Babble after finishing to make sure it still shows it as complete. If it really bugs you aeb, you could contact DrG and he would possibly adjust your rankings - you may need to identify what day/s are shown as incomplete (search via the archives)
4:49 pm
aebmusica
I've been using Apple computers since 2006 and have never refreshed them.I have restarted them many times but never REFRESH.
4:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
i use F5 alone to refresh. macs may be different
4:54 pm

From memory it is Control or the Apple Key and R
4:57 pm

i should not say macs may be different. macs ARE different.

Good Evening. I've used Macs since 1993; and aeb, there is a refresh

Aebmusica I looked at the archives for you and Monday 30th November you got 1375 points out of the 1587 points on offer.
5:03 pm

THANK YOU NEF. Do you have to click this circle every time you finish a Babble grid?
5:03 pm
dcseain
and there is a View rankings explanation link at the top left of the rankings.
5:04 pm
Nef
I don't pay attention to stats anymore; but it I find I'm losing words that I've already entered, then I refresh
5:05 pm
aebmusica
Why didn't I get credit for all the points... I finished that grid, zooz?
5:06 pm
Nef
Sometimes when you type in words & they disappear from your list then the grid will show that you've played and finished the grid but the count is wrong
5:07 pm
lynxxx
No-one knows why the words don't 'stick' AEB - but it happens to all of us which is why we all refresh or something similar
5:08 pm
zoozzoom
I have on occassions thought I had finished and then found that I had not. It annoyed me very much but it looks like it happens to more babblers than I thought!
5:08 pm
aebmusica
I have had that happen whilst playing and then I type them in again. But It showed Congratulations and fireworks for me on November 30th.
5:10 pm
lynxxx
Always worth re-opening after you finish and make sure it is still complete
5:11 pm
aebmusica
Well thank you all for your time and suggestions on this issue.
5:11 pm
Nef
LOL! I just "entered" 5 or six 4 letter words in a hurry. Guess what? My mouse was not in either box! (Which is better than when I enter words in the Chog!)
5:12 pm
zoozzoom
Omenta is one of the words you were missing from the list, Aebmusica.
5:13 pm
lynxxx
how cute that ad4.6 and its opposite de8.50 are in the grid
5:13 pm
Bugsaw
yes, thank you all. I had no idea why I was loosing words. I thought I was loosing my mind!
5:14 pm
MollyL
You will see congratulations and you will see fireworks. But if you don't refresh, you may not get your points tabulated. Lynnx's suggestion of closing out and going back in is very good, if you don't get the REFRESH thing.
5:14 pm
zoozzoom
Panne is another one. and probably more but It is taking too much time for me to search through lol
5:15 pm
zoozzoom
LOL so it is, Lynxxx :-)
5:15 pm

now I am losing my mind de8 is so NOT the opposite of ad4

Thanks for the clues, lynxxx. that helps when I/m just starting.
5:17 pm
zoozzoom
Oh i see what you mean now :-)
5:18 pm
MollyL
I know Zoom. And I'm saying you will see fireworks and you will think you are finished, but if you don't REFRESH, you might lose that day
5:18 pm
aebmusica
zooz I did put in Omenta and I even looked up the definition because I hadn't ever seen this word before(a fold in the stomach organ or something like that).
5:18 pm
zoozzoom
Yes sorry I got it now, Molly :-)
5:19 pm
aebmusica
I just refreshed so my points should be tabulated for today at least.
5:20 pm
zoozzoom
I believe you, Aebmusica. Was just trying to find which words it was saying you had not entered. I think the idea of when you have finished. Close babble down and then restart it again later and see if it has entered all your words.
5:20 pm
MollyL
Zoom how can you tell what word she was missing on what day?
5:20 pm
aebmusica
Yes how can one tell?
5:22 pm
zoozzoom
I clicked on the archive, Molly then went to aebmusica and clicked on the name so her word lsit she entered comes up. then went to a babbler who had the full points score and checked against their list to see which words were missing from aebmusicas list.
5:23 pm
zoozzoom
I got to the word panne which was missing from aebmusicas lsit and did not want to check anymore as it was taking a long time to see lol
5:23 pm
aebmusica
WOW! zooz...you did all that fro me? Thank you!
5:23 pm
zoozzoom
Did any of that make any sense?
5:23 pm
zoozzoom
Of course, Aeb, you are a fellow babbler :-)
5:24 pm
aebmusica
Yes And I did enter panne also ...I do know that word!
5:24 pm
Nef
That sounds like WORK, zoo! Nice to know how to do it!
5:25 pm
zoozzoom
Well I am glad it was not a list of say that 744 grid some years ago. I would not want to check through that one lol
5:27 pm
MollyL
Wow Zoom, you are quiet the sleuth. I had no idea you could check another person's word list.
5:28 pm
aebmusica
So one last question... all the words that the archives say were not counted, that I entered, are lost pointless forever? It is just I was so proud to have made it to the 1030's group 3 months ago that I was upset for the listing loss. I don't just play Babble for the points but because I love words and the challenge and all my fellow Babblers!
5:28 pm
MollyL
The thing is, after your points are tabulated, there is no way to go back and say "I entered that word".
5:30 pm
zoozzoom
If I knew I could not do babble for what ever reason I am okay with that. I get annoyed if I am sure I completed the grid and found I had not.
5:30 pm
aebmusica
Ditto zooz!
5:30 pm
MollyL
Just for the record, I don't think it's Dr. God who keeps track of the rankings.
5:31 pm
zoozzoom
Yes, Aeb. there is no way of getting those points back. Unless Dr God maybe can decide to add then for you.
5:31 pm
zoozzoom
Well Dr God did one time scrub a day of babble points as for some babblers could not log on on that day!
5:31 pm
aebmusica
Well I DID finish todays and I refreshed so I will go on from there!
5:32 pm
zoozzoom
Congrats on your fireworks for today, Aebmusica!!
5:33 pm
MollyL
Yes, and all the people who finished that day lost their status. I don't think that was a really fair thing to do.
5:33 pm
Nef
WTG,aeb!!! Congrats on fireworks!
5:33 pm
aebmusica
Thanks Nef!
5:33 pm
aebmusica
thanks zooz!
5:34 pm
Nef
That's one of those "danged if you do & danged if you don't" challenges, Molly.
5:35 pm
zoozzoom
I would so love if you could do past babble grids like you can do with the iron sudoku website run by Dr. God.
5:36 pm
Nef
Oh, Man! I am freezing right now! I need to see if the thermostat is set right. BBS
5:36 pm
MollyL
I don't have a problem with the whole day being a wash. But everyone's point values dropped because of that. Whoever tabulates rankings didn't do it the right way for that day.
5:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think it is a program
5:36 pm
zoozzoom
Try and keep warm, Nef!
5:37 pm
MollyL
Well, if it is a program, and a whole day was discounted, then the rankings for the next day would be the same. They were not. It was as if no one finished the grid.
5:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
perhaps he suspended the program run for that day. i used to be fanatical about stats,but now i do not care
5:45 pm
Lizlin
Good morning, all
5:48 pm
Lizlin
TO - we loved your olive oil, sea salt brownie cookies - so did our friends. Thanks for the recipe.
5:48 pm
MollyL
I'm not fanatical about stats. I am a little anal about code in web page programs that is not adjusted to reflect changes though.

MollyL
Warehouse music acid?
5:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh liz, i am so glad! ty for taking the time to let me know
5:59 pm
Lizlin
It took a while before I made them - but it was well worth it, when I did.
6:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
people sort of say huh?when they hear about them. i did as well
6:00 pm
zoozzoom
warehouses where illegal house paries were held also know as Ra** music!
6:01 pm
Lizlin
They sounded good to me - but we don't really eat many cakes and biscuits, so I needed an occasion to make them.
6:01 pm
MollyL
I'm not a big fan of cookies made with olive oil. I like cookies made with butter.
6:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
not too sweet. very ricj
6:01 pm
Lizlin
Yes, Zooz - I liked the clue - they all helped.
6:01 pm
Lizlin
True, TO - I'd make them smaller next time.
6:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
there is just something, for me, about dark chocolate and olive oil. i have made a pound cake with olive oil and that was good. not a butter one,but good.
6:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
did you cut down the amount of chips in them?
6:02 pm
Lizlin
No - probably put more!
6:02 pm
MollyL
Every clue, and every recipe, is sacred
: D
6:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
lol
6:03 pm
Lizlin
And the salt was a wonderful touch. I used a mix of white and dark chips
6:03 pm
Lizlin
lol Molly!
6:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
so you used the original recipe then?
6:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh no, recipes are to be tweaked, as are clues
6:04 pm
zoozzoom
I knew you would get the clue, Liz :-) the explanation was for, Molly. As she did aske what it was :-)
6:04 pm
Lizlin
I don't know! I used the recipe I copied from your profile - but things are labelled a bit differently here. Didn't know what semi sweet chips were but figured I'd use a mix I liked.
6:05 pm
MollyL
I got the warehouse part. It was the acid part I was wondering about.
6:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
semi sweet is what you would use in toll house chocolate chips cookies.
6:05 pm
Lizlin
Also had to work out what baking soda was - bicarbonate of soda here.
6:05 pm
MollyL
And yes, recipes are for tweaking. I do that all the time.
6:05 pm
Lizlin
I've never seen semi sweet chips.
6:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
do you have chocolate chip cookies?
6:06 pm
MollyL
TO...*gasp*...they know not of Toll House cookies over there.
6:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh, now i want to bake some. :/
6:06 pm
Lizlin
Yes - though I haven't bought any for years.
6:06 pm
Lizlin
Never heard of Toll House cookies. We have Byron Bay Cookies :)
6:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
ah, an international incident! those ugly Americans!
6:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
yay!!!
6:10 pm
MollyL
It amazes me that bicarbonate of soda and baking soda are not interchangeable internationally. Especially with all of the internet recipes being exchanged.
6:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
i did not know that. do they not use it, or use something else?
6:11 pm
Lizlin
They were directly interchangeable - it was just the name that threw me. I wasn't sure whether to use bicarb or baking powder.
6:11 pm
MollyL
They use it, they just call it something else.
6:11 pm
Lizlin
Google to the rescue!
6:12 pm
MollyL
Actually, baking soda is bicarbonate of soda. We just shortened the name for ease.
6:12 pm
Lizlin
We also don't have kosher salt here - sea salt, rock salt but not kosher salt. How can salt be kosher?
6:13 pm
Lizlin
And flour - I have to work out whether to use plain flour or self raising flour. It always amazes me how one language can mean so many different things in different places.
6:13 pm
MollyL
Wow, I know how salt can be Kosher. There is a reason my friends consider me an "honorary Jew".
6:14 pm
Lizlin
So explain, please.
6:14 pm
MollyL
Any good recipe will specify self-rising flour if it is called for. Our biscuits (not your cookies) call for self-rising flour.
6:15 pm
Lizlin
And you say self rising - we say self rAising - :)
6:15 pm

6:17 pm
Lizlin
Me too. A couple of new words for me in the grid.
6:17 pm
periwinkle
hi pen
6:17 pm
Lizlin
OK Molly, so I googled kosher salt. It's not that the salt is kosher - more about its primary purpose in koshering meat.
6:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
and it is coarser than table salt
6:18 pm
Lizlin
Yes, that's what I read.
6:19 pm
Lizlin
So, I guess I should get my day started. Have a good evening everyone.
6:19 pm
MollyL
Yes, that is why it is called Kosher salt, because it is the form of salt used in koshering meat.
6:19 pm
Lizlin
And thanks for the chat.
6:19 pm
periwinkle
th6/30 pls. I do not see it in morewords
