Good mum!
3:18 am
sprite

one more night, rose... almost there. I am mwah... not sleeping too well, which isn't strange after the fight stress. And cold sores over half of my mouth, ughhhh.
3:18 am
sprite

thanks Liz... I try to be! But man, it is a tough battle.
3:21 am
grannyrose

poor girl! such a painful condition.... cold sores. just about everything hurts.
3:21 am
sprite

it is! Nothing serious, but jeezzz it is irritating and painful. Usually I have just one spot. Now, it is half my mouth. Blech.
3:21 am
grannyrose

hey sprite!! thank your lucky stars you didn't end up with THREE boys. you need the hide of a rhino.
3:22 am

3:42 am
sprite

how late are you due tomorrow?
3:44 am
grannyrose

i have to leave home about 7:30am, will be home the next day about 11am.
3:45 am
sprite

a long stretch, but it will be worth it. Is Don staying with you all the time?
3:46 am
grannyrose

no, he comes home about 9am tomorrow, then comes back in with pizza for our dinner about 6pm. because the drugs deaden my sense of taste i have to have something very strong flavoured.
3:47 am
grannyrose

the hospital food is too bland. it is great food but i cannot taste it.
3:48 am
sprite

oh, nice... good excuse to have pizza :D
3:49 am
grannyrose

oh yeah....
3:52 am
sprite

coffee... coffee is GOOD....
3:53 am
grannyrose

oh, and don's dinner out for his birthday?? it was amazing. we started with a small garlic pizza... yum yum yum. then a chickendish served on mashed potato. do you know how long it is since i had mashed potato?? and to follow we shared a large serve of tiramisu and a champagne cocktail.
3:53 am

3:54 am

3:54 am
sprite

hey Farruska :)
3:54 am
grannyrose

wow!! farruska...where you bin honey?
3:55 am
grannyrose

3:55 am

Morning all! May I have a few stats please? The lone O in the first column, the lone I in the bottom left corner and the pair of Ns in the fourth column, third row?
3:57 am
sprite

but but but... well ok I forgot, but things were a little hectic with the boyo and all :(
3:57 am
sprite

hiya matty :D *hug*
3:57 am
sprite

how is the cold?
3:58 am
grannyrose

on7/32
3:58 am
mattygroves

Not too hard - I was up every hour with coughing - my OH bailed and went to the floor of the living room (as my daughter is making a flying visit)
3:58 am
grannyrose

it7/40
3:58 am
sprite

it7/40 gerund for the bottom left corner
3:58 am
sprite

oh dear... nasty cold, matty :(
3:59 am
mattygroves

Got that pesky lower left corner one
3:59 am
grannyrose

ni8/40, 9/54
3:59 am
mattygroves

Mind you, Sprite, I don't do myself any favours as I am a smoker
3:59 am
sprite

yeah that does not help with a cold, I guess. Still... nasty :(
4:00 am
grannyrose

no lecture from me, matty.
4:00 am
mattygroves

What's annoying is the dirty look I get from my daughter every time I cough as if the main issue with the coughing is the annoyance to HER factor
4:01 am
sprite

that is really annoying. Maybe you should suggest you changing places. She coughing and you giving her hell every time she does.
4:05 am
mattygroves

Yeh. Still, it's only the one day - she's off on her social whirlwind today - once everyone else is out of bed (she and Jeff are still in the land of nod)
4:05 am
sprite

she doesn't sound very social, matty :(
4:06 am
mattygroves

Can I have the gentlest of nudges for that ni8-9 combo
4:06 am
sprite

you can COUNT on it, matty
4:06 am
mattygroves

She's a real mix - she is often charming and funny but has some selfish, somewhat entitled quirks (perhaps that's her age)
4:06 am
grannyrose

number after 18
4:06 am
sprite

what is her age, matty?
4:07 am
mattygroves

God I feel stupid. She'll be 25 next month
4:07 am
sprite

hell rose, that is not gentle, lol!
4:07 am
mattygroves

I had the two words that make up that word and completely missed the existence of that number.
4:07 am
grannyrose

25, and she is still home? pack her bags for her.
4:07 am
sprite

she should be over the adolescent turbulence then, I think... time for her to social up :)
4:08 am
mattygroves

She's not - she lives in Birmingham - she's just visiting, both me but mostly friends
4:08 am
mattygroves

She arrived last night - she's heading out today sometimes
4:08 am
sprite

actually, I have a theory why words like ni8/9 are hard to spot. We automatically think: long word = hard word. So we don't realise it might be a very normal simple world.
4:08 am
sprite

word*
4:09 am
grannyrose

and when does she leave? ah, good, you answered before i asked.
4:09 am
mattygroves

That theory makes sense :)
4:09 am
sprite

:D
4:09 am
mattygroves

She's a good kid mostly. but just has annoying quirks
4:09 am
grannyrose

next ti4, tell her you will be out of the country and someone is renting the house.
4:10 am
mattygroves

Like the rest of the human race, I guess - it's just she knows what buttons to push
4:10 am
sprite

ah well, that goes for all of us, I think
4:11 am
sprite

finally! A word ending in the loch monster at last.
4:12 am

i think that's the only one sprite

Welcome Faaruska, are you new to Babble
6:00 am
Farruska

hi Bichon, nope, not new :-) been Babbling since 2006 :-)
6:07 am
bichon

Hello and nice to meet you. You are from Prtugal I see. Mr. Bich will be there for a couple of days in Sept.
6:08 am
Farruska

Nice, he'll get good weather and less mess. Lisbon?
6:10 am
sukee

Good morning all. Is it just me or is the site slow loading today?
6:11 am
bichon

Probably one night in Lisbon and one in Oporto. He leads a hiking trip in NW Spain to Santiago
6:12 am
Farruska

ah doing the Santiago Camino, how nice Bichon
6:13 am
MollyL

I'm not having any trouble with the site.
6:13 am
bichon

Yes, this will be his second year doing it. This is for the Sierra Club
6:13 am
sukee

Maybe just my dumb computer. All internet seems slow today.
6:13 am
Farruska

working ok here Sukee
6:14 am
bichon

Me neither
6:14 am
MollyL

Try running virus and malware scans
6:14 am
sukee

Getting a new computer on Wednesday.
6:15 am
bichon

What kind are you gettin Sukee
6:16 am
sukee

I decided on the Lenovo Think Pad, it's on sale and I have read good reviews about it. It's all I need.
6:16 am
bichon

I have a Lenovo and I love it
6:16 am
bichon

Not cheap though
6:17 am
sukee

Well, this one is around $450 Canadian.
6:18 am
bichon

Amazon has its smallest one for $254, but in the $550 for the larger ones
6:18 am
sukee

I need a reliable laptop for my writing, can't risk this one dying completely, and it's on its way.
6:18 am
Farruska

I've turned apple over 10 years ago, never to look back. my 2009 mackbook still works as new
6:19 am
bichon

The only problem with Apple is you can't use Babble Expert
6:19 am
sukee

This is frustrating, I type a word and have to wait 30 second before it shows up.
6:20 am
Farruska

Bichon what is Babble Expert ?
6:21 am
bichon

In Expert there is a panel you can open and it lists all the words and their point value. It's a "cheat sheet"
6:21 am
Farruska

Bichon just checked it. well, I'm not choosing a computer because of a game cheat ;-)
6:22 am
MollyL

Expert is like Lickety's List, only it adds the words to the word list for you, instead of you having to paste them in
6:22 am
Farruska

I used another cheat sheet, webbased. can't remember what it was though
6:22 am
sukee

:)
6:22 am
Farruska

ah yes MollyL, that's it. Lickety's List, the one I use
6:22 am
sukee

BRB, going to reboot and see if that helps.
6:24 am
MollyL

Expert is an entire program, based on the list, but it won't load on Macs. Everyone has their computer preference. I had to use a Mac in one work experience and really didn't like it at all. Plus, they are a lot more expensive.
6:25 am
mattygroves

I (mostly) love my Mac, though not keen on the file structure and the inability to use Expert :)
6:26 am
lynxxx

You can still use the Bulk Add feature with Macs or Apples??
6:27 am
mattygroves

You can, yes
6:28 am
mattygroves

I tend to try to get through as much of the grid as I can without it then, if I'm still interested in finishing the grid, do the bulk add and then add individually words i find after that.
6:28 am
MollyL

You can use bulk/add as many times as you want.
6:34 am
mattygroves

I know. But that's how I roll :)
6:36 am
MollyL

I was pretty sure you did, Matty. That was more for anyone who might not want to take the time to add each word individually. : D
6:39 am

Hi dan, what are you doing at Heathrow?

Yes, I think so.
6:44 am

Babble withdrawal, yikes
6:44 am
sukee

Moved all my important files over to dropbox.
6:46 am
MollyL

I back up most things to a cloud server so I can access my files from whatever computer I am using.
7:15 am
sukee

I think part of my slowness problem is the fact Dropbox is synching :)

Oh yeah, that will zap your computer strength

Actually, ruru, thought of you this morning, I was reading on Reddit about jokes that take a few seconds to get. Many were NSFW (I skip those, not funny to me), but some were gems.
9:01 am

9:03 am

you are supposed to drink water in between each sip of alcohol so it lessens the hangover or effects from it
9:04 am
MollyL

Rats, I thought that was not suitable for weenies.
9:04 am
rururocks

the trick is to drink some water.. and not drink so much ML :D
9:05 am
MLFAN17

ruru I think its a balancing act isn't it?
9:05 am
rururocks

I don't like the feeling of being drunk
9:05 am
MLFAN17

for whatever the amount of alcohol you drink you drink about as much water
9:05 am
MLFAN17

agreed ruru

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumblin' down
Darling, reach out, come on girl, reach on out for me
Reach out, reach out for me
I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through
9:13 am

You are lucky. You muse email with people who don't latch onto the latest trendy phrase.

Someone once told me to never use dull knives. That if you do, you get used to them and then when you use a sharp one, you will cut yourself. He was right.

The only problem with my beef stew is that the gravy is so good it's ripe for dipping lots of French bread in.
