Good morning
2:35 am
flosey
Hi there Ruby, haven't seen you in a while, hope all is well?
2:36 am
rubyfoo
It's been a tough winter but it's nice to see you.
2:36 am
rubyfoo
It's been a tough winter but it's nice to see you.
2:37 am
rubyfoo
I thought Spring had come, much needed, but I was mistaken
2:37 am
flosey
always good to see you Ruby, are you really having SNOW?
2:38 am
rubyfoo
How are you?
2:38 am
flosey
fine thanks Ruby, just finished the puzzle
2:38 am
rubyfoo
not erious snow, but I was hoping to see daffs this AM as they're ready, but, no, it's all white and pretty
2:39 am
rubyfoo
too small for a Snowy day!
2:39 am
flosey
it is pretty, but must admit, I don't miss the snow we had in Ontario!
2:40 am
rubyfoo
we have much less these days than when we first moved here
2:41 am
rubyfoo
(it will be a while 'til I stop saying "we")
2:41 am
flosey
although when much younger, I loved the winter, loved skating outside, we had a marvelous outdoor rink with great music
2:41 am
rubyfoo
we used to ski
2:41 am
flosey
that must be a tough habit to break, Ruby
2:43 am
rubyfoo
We were together more than 30 years
2:43 am
flosey
I never did ski, 2 of our kids do
2:43 am
flosey
ah so you have many happy memories to cherish
2:44 am
rubyfoo
One of the reasons we moved to this eastern part of France was so that we could ski in Austria, only 5 hrs away
2:45 am
flosey
we have celebrated 55 years together
2:45 am
rubyfoo
I'm Lucky, having put aside (in my mind) the last couple of terrible years and focusing on the good times
2:45 am
flosey
good for you
2:45 am
rubyfoo
that is wonderful, Flosey!
2:46 am
rubyfoo
And you sound spry and fit and very active!
2:47 am
flosey
I get around but not doing much in the way of sports - more sedentary, play a lot of bridge
2:49 am
rubyfoo
I played bridge with my first husband, but neither of us was good at it (prefered poker) and he refused to follow the conventions
2:49 am
flosey
I do wish I had continued with golf, am from a golfing family but would have to start over - buy new clubs, not really up to it
2:50 am
rubyfoo
Your climate, much more temperate than Ontario, must be perfect for golf and even walking
2:51 am
flosey
yes here the season is much longer than in Ontario but haven't played for more than 20 years
2:54 am
flosey
hubby doesn't play anymore, he never really was an avid player - he was more into soccer and baseball
2:55 am
rubyfoo
I was a runner until I started to have surgeries. I loved it, more than skiing; it was like dancing (which I truly miss)
2:57 am
flosey
I would have loved to dance - it was frowned on when I was young so didn't dance until I was in my 20s so never really learned and hubby doesn't care for dancing
2:59 am
rubyfoo
I was Lucky to have lived in NY (Young) and then in Miami, in both places there were lots of opportunities to dance
2:59 am
rubyfoo
salsa was my specialty, but I could do ballroom etc.
3:00 am
flosey
also a good exercise!
3:01 am
rubyfoo
yes, I was pretty strong in the legs
3:03 am
flosey
I must get to bed, just after 1: am here
3:03 am
flosey
nice chatting Ruby, take good care of yourself
3:04 am
rubyfoo
lovely to see you, Flosey
3:05 am
flosey
Ruby, I have Dee's list in my bio if you care to use it
3:05 am
rubyfoo
I've never learned how to list, hence, I rarely finish
3:06 am
flosey
think I'd seldom finish without a list
3:07 am
flosey
hope to see you again soon, g'night now
3:07 am
rubyfoo
bye, sweet dreams!

hiya zooz *hugs* How are you today?
3:26 am
zoozzoom
Not too bad although I seem to go to bed feeling better than when i wake up lol..lower back always seems to ache. But nothing too bad really :-) How are you?
3:27 am
sprite
sorry about your back. Did you have it checked out? Might be wise.
3:28 am
lynxxx
I must have said this a thousand times, pillow under your knees if you sleep on your back or between your knees if on your side. Best bit of advice I ever got - try it Zooz.
3:28 am
lynxxx
Hello to you all
3:29 am
zoozzoom
Nah been dooing that for years. Probably need a new mattress.
3:29 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Lynxxx :-)
3:29 am
sprite
hello lyn :) xxx
Lovely to see you. Hope you and yours are well?
3:29 am
sprite
and perhaps some relaxation exercises before bed, zooz. Sounds like you tense up at night.
3:29 am
zoozzoom
I can not put a pillow under my knees, Lynxxx, as I thrash about whilst asleep so i have been told lol
3:30 am
zoozzoom
I will try it again though, Lynxxx :-)
3:31 am
zoozzoom
Yeah I also grind my teeth too, Sprite. And the dreams are just mental!
3:31 am
zoozzoom
Anyway how are you , Sprite & Lynxxx?
3:31 am
lynxxx
do try - even with a nice new mattress I still commonly sleep with 'knees up' (mother brown !)
3:31 am
zoozzoom
LOL I now have that song in my head!
3:32 am
lynxxx
Tense! that seems like an understatement!
3:33 am

Good to hear, Spritey :-)

Morning all on this sunny but chilly morning! May I have stats please for the I smack in the centre of the board and the 8? (Please tell me they are not one and the same - I hate vowel words)
3:33 am
sprite
I know all about bad dreams. It's been proven that relaxation exercises before bed do help, zooz. Won't solve all the dreams, but will lower your general tenseness.
3:33 am
sprite
bye lyn! Enjoy.
3:33 am
sprite
morning matty!
3:33 am
zoozzoom
Enjoy the TV, Lynxxx :-)
3:33 am

3:34 am
zoozzoom
Sunny?....Not here :-(
3:34 am
sprite
I can clue it for you if you want, the in8
3:35 am
zoozzoom
I will look up some relaxation techniques, Sprite.
3:36 am
sprite
great idea, zooz. Find some that work for you, there are all kinds and sorts. I hope it will help you!
3:36 am
zoozzoom
I do read a book in bed. That I find relaxes me!
3:36 am
zoozzoom
How is work going, Sprite?
3:37 am
zoozzoom
Found the in8..Thanks. and to think i had the short version of it too!
3:37 am
sprite
that relaxes too, but on another level. You need to get in another brainwave modus for the optimal effects. I'd say, read first, then the exercises. You might find some spoken ones, with a voice that you like. All you have to do then is follow the voice.
3:38 am
sprite
work is going well :) Had my first chat session last weekend and it went well. Quite different from a telephone shift!
3:39 am
zoozzoom
Chat as a person with a problem comes in and talks to you face to face?
3:40 am
sprite
nope, chat as in on the computer. Person with a problem opens a chat window and I talk on screen with him or her.
3:41 am
zoozzoom
Ah I see!
3:41 am
sprite
fireflies. Not a bad grid. Small though.
3:41 am

Congrats, Sprite!

9:35 am

if you want a clue, let me know
9:35 am

got it! It is always such a mystery to me how the count helps, but it does!
9:35 am
CiociaJudy
good for you Trif! I needed a clue on that one!!
9:35 am
CiociaJudy
I'm down to 11 and I'm refusing to list!
9:36 am
Trifioso
the little number at the end of my profile is the number of grids I have ever completed with out using the list
9:36 am
CiociaJudy
Awesome!
9:36 am
Trifioso
mind you, I rarely finish these days - good days are when i hit nbt and nbs....
9:37 am
CiociaJudy
I'm Type A--gotta finish the grid! Although I've gotten better about going to bed even if I don't finish. LOL
9:37 am

i think i'm at about 3 with out lists.
9:38 am
mixi6
i rarely don't finish. I sometimes don't start if I can't finish.
9:38 am
Trifioso
i miss the days when I could loll on babble for hours, puzzling out the words. not enough time in my days anymore
9:39 am
CiociaJudy
Seems like life keeps getting crazier and busier. *sigh*
9:39 am
mixi6
and I don't think i'm type a. maybe a bit obsessive compulsive.
9:40 am
Trifioso
my certainly does. I miss having money, but I don't miss my ex
9:41 am
CiociaJudy
and you're happy, Trif?
9:41 am
mixi6
took early retirement. last year so did my husband.
9:41 am

Didn't enjoy the job any more.
9:42 am

WOW Mixi! Woohoo for you and Hubby.
9:42 am
CiociaJudy
I could retire now but will be better financially if I can hang in there a few more years.
9:43 am

I asked a financial planner before each retirement. there might be less trips, but it's doable.

12:53 pm

There is something broken in Lickety-ville. That's for sure. That site is programmed to automatically update and post Lickety's message here "Clues are up"
12:53 pm
rururocks
Kind of like nerdy skittles
12:54 pm
rururocks
No lickety will weed a few players out of the game
12:55 pm

No Lickety would reduce the list of everyday finishers to a very small group.

Well, there is already all day cluing

I've just been watching the news, which of course covers the US campaigning and am absolutely stymied by the American female voter. I can understand why everyone is wary of Trump, but I just saw a bunch of women saying how wonderful Cruz is and what a great president he would make. Don't they know that his platform includes setting womens rights back about 50 years?
3:27 pm
cybernan
would really like some explanation of this
3:27 pm
poodletoes
this is why every four years a lot of people say "i am moving to Canada"
3:27 pm
therealblah
don't look at me nan, I don't get it either
3:29 pm

yes I've heard of the plans of several people to move to Canada ---- Thinking of investing in electric fencing ;D
3:29 pm
poodletoes
LOL good idea, keep the crazies out
3:31 pm
cybernan
I just don't understand these women being willing to give up the rights it has taken so long to attain. Will they give up the vote next?
3:31 pm
poodletoes
It is a mystery
3:32 pm
phandmd
Hello, hello, hello...
3:32 pm

Maybe I should be investing in the companys that produce birth control devices -- there would be a lucrative black market if Cruz gets his way
3:32 pm

oh wel -- just really glad it's not my problem and you have my sympathy as far as your choices go!
3:35 pm

The choices all suck. I am not comfortable voting for any of the candidates!
3:36 pm
cybernan
see you later ... was just checking in hoping that someone could explain it all to me.
3:37 pm
cybernan
Looks like you'll have to do what we do --- vote for the lesser of all evils. I wish you lots of voters that will vote for the best person rather than along party lines.
3:40 pm
poodletoes
dont think we can do that, Nan.
3:41 pm
MollyL
Personally, I can't vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. And I would never move to Canada, it's no better there than it is here.
3:41 pm
poodletoes
it is cold there anyway
3:42 pm
poodletoes
from afar, canadians seem more sensable
3:42 pm
phandmd
Molly, it sounds like we have similar thoughts. But I can't vote for Trump either!
3:45 pm
poodletoes
I wouldnt even use 'vote for' and ''trump" in the same sentence. Oops I just did.
3:46 pm
MollyL
There are just as many problems in Canada, with taxes and with politicians as there are here. Phan, I don't know why anyone would vote for Trump. But then, I don't know why people voted for Obama either.

Weird appearance of lickety's grid. Wonder if he's been hacked?
5:56 pm
MollyL
I don't think he has been hacked. It looks like a code malfunction. I guess when he gets around to working on it it will be back up and running.
5:57 pm

I'm sure he will. Have a good evening.

Refresh, they are there

Sure after I pulled my hair out solving it lol <3 lickety
7:22 pm
meliae
Did it work by refreshing TO?
7:23 pm
Nef
:-( It worked for me; not sure why they aren't there for you TO
7:23 pm
meliae
Close the window completely then try again I am on my tablet and I see it.
7:25 pm
meliae
I wonder if lickety is compatible with my tablet? I should have him email me a new download and see if it works.
7:29 pm
Nef
What type of tablet do you have meliae?
7:30 pm
meliae
Kindle fire
7:32 pm
Nef
Oh; I can't help you then. It should work I would think.
7:32 pm
Bugsaw
It worked on the main game but not for Expert. Anyway, I have the list Molly posted to find my last few.
7:34 pm
meliae
Sure be easier if it would versus cutting pasting and switching windows all the time
7:34 pm

I am SO with you there,mel
7:35 pm

I really miss exoert especially on the 200+ grids

7:36 pm

I've never been able to have expert (mac computer here)
7:37 pm
meliae
What tablet do you have Bugs? Oh Nef I thought there was a Mac one?
7:38 pm
Nef
Well, I haven't checked in the past 2-3 years, but Dr. God told me once he had no plans to make a program for macs.
7:41 pm
Bugsaw
It helps so much to have both the grid and the list on the same page. I get lots of clues for things like a plural that I missed or that I have to find a word that starts in pt or some odd combination I would never have thought of.
7:42 pm
Bugsaw
I don't have a tablet, Just and old fashioned, sit down at the computer spot.
7:44 pm
Nef
I prefer using my computer for Babble; it just is easier for me.
7:45 pm
meliae
Yeah it sure helps. Even when people post lists I hand write in the words to help me see the missing words
7:45 pm
Bugsaw
I do that too when I am feeling compulsive about it mel but it is such a pain.
7:50 pm
meliae
Yes it is for sure. Let me know if you needs hints. TO did you get it figured out?
7:50 pm
Nef
I'm not that compulsive about Babble anymore. I used to print the grid out & work on it throughout the day; but haven't done that for years.
7:52 pm
meliae
I rarely finish anymore but this one had me intrigued with its overabundance of i's I had to finish it.
7:56 pm
Nef
Could I please have a clue for the 8?
7:56 pm
Bugsaw
I am trying to be less compulsive but I work at it on and off thoughout the day so it feels like taking an intellectually stimulating break.
7:57 pm

NM; I just found it!

8:34 pm
Bugsaw

8:34 pm
stidmama
I have bad hips that dislocate, Jen -- I did something that at the time didn't even register (usually a lift-and-turn of some kind), and then didn't use my cane at school, and ... it is getting better, just takes time.
8:35 pm
JenMO16

Let's see if I can find some more words
10:21 pm
jesdraggon
howdy all
10:23 pm
Nef
hi jes; how are you doing tonight?
10:25 pm
Uneaixoise
FW -- back at the flip :-)
10:26 pm
jesdraggon
not too bad. looking at resumes for receptionist position.
10:26 pm
Nef
YAY, Une!!! WTG!!!
10:28 pm
Nef
Wow; I don't envy you. I've had to hire some people in my last job; & I wasn't a good judge of character.
10:29 pm
jesdraggon
I am basically always hiring it seems like. My receptionist position is cursed :(
10:30 pm
jesdraggon
If I didn't have to pick someone from this pile, I'd just laugh my way through it. Some of them are fabulous. Like the one from the woman who filed a complaint against my malpractice insurance a few years ago, applied the last time we were hiring and was told she was not under consideration, but applied again this time...
10:30 pm
Nef
Oh,My! is she nuts?
10:31 pm
jesdraggon
yes, quite.
10:31 pm
Nef
She sounds like she needs to get a clue.
10:33 pm
jesdraggon
Yeah. She's fab.
10:35 pm
jesdraggon
got one that misspelled "oriented" in the phrase "detail oriented".
10:37 pm
jesdraggon
So apparently they don't teach resume writing in school. I know this because I got together with the librarian at our local high school last year and proof read resumes for all of the senior students as a special project.
10:38 pm
Nef
What about the fabulous ones? any of them possibilities?
10:40 pm
jesdraggon
nah, don't even have any applications from local HS this go-round. But have a recent grad from a nearby town that can't decide how to abbreviate apartment, can't spell references, and didn't include any dates, duties, or contact information on any prior jobs.
10:41 pm
Nef
They don't teach a lot of life skills in high school anymore.
My son says they should teach how to fill out application forms (I suppose that's similar to a resume), budgeting, banking, managing your money, and taking care of your credit.
10:42 pm
Nef
(finally down to 14 words left)
10:43 pm
jesdraggon
I think resumes are a higher skill tier than filling out applications. But they don't even appear to teach how to properly address things. At least half the kids last year didn't know where punctuation went in an address, or how to separate numbers in a phone number.
10:45 pm
Nef
oh my! How will this generation make it through life?
10:46 pm
jesdraggon
probably not working for me... though I'm sure there are less nit-picky employers out there.
10:47 pm
Nef
My sister (a vet in north western MN) is probably as picky as you sound.
10:50 pm
jesdraggon
Does she have a well-trained spare receptionist to send to Eastern Washington?
10:54 pm
Nef
LOL! (She's actually my cousin; my aunt-her mom- raised 5 of us after our mom died. I call her my sister because we are so close)
Her mom was a school teacher & county superintendent of schools for around 30 years up there; she taught 3 generations of kids in our small county). He office runs like a clock because family reputation may scare off any deadbeats & losers.
11:02 pm
jesdraggon
Heh. I'm trying to get to the point of scaring off all the deadbeats.
11:06 pm
Nef
Well, she learned the hard way not to hire someone that she had a soft spot for. One staff member years ago ending up robbing her of thousands of dollars over 5 years.
11:07 pm
jesdraggon
shiny. I haven't had that happen that I know of, most of my employee issues are accumulations of bizarre.
11:08 pm
jesdraggon
like my receptionist slot - in 2014, my lead receptionist died.
11:08 pm
jesdraggon
then for like 9 months of last year, my next lead receptionist was (and still is) out on disability because she needed back surgery and the surgeon dicked around and didn't get to it anything like promptly.
11:09 pm
Nef
And haven't you found a good replacement yet?
11:09 pm
Nef
Oh My! How bad is her back?
11:09 pm
jesdraggon
then several months ago, the receptionist who'd been working lead while #2 was out lost her babysitter and hasn't been able to work during the week...
11:10 pm
jesdraggon
seriously, the position is cursed.
11:11 pm
Nef
Have an exorcism!
11:13 pm
jesdraggon
Then the one who has the most experience currently's last day was today because her father's been diagnosed with serious health issues and she wants to go travel with him before he dies. so now we've got 1 mostly trained but only part time receptionist, and one just in training but really promising receptionist, and a new one starting next week for training.
11:14 pm
Nef
How far will her father go if he has serious health problems? I suppose he has a bucket list....
11:15 pm
Nef
I hope the promising one turns out to be perfect
11:15 pm
Nef
How many receptionists do you need?
11:16 pm
jesdraggon
Well, that depends on whether I get a new doctor to come up this spring - interviewed a few soon to be DVMs.
11:17 pm
jesdraggon
minimum 2 full time and 1 part time, for the doctors we currently have. one more for each new doctor I get.
11:27 pm
