1:34 am
grannyrose
yeah you might say the k's are ka5....loll

Lizlin
Those big words are all hiding from me! Every one of them!

1:39 am

1:39 am
Lizlin
So right Ursh - holidays all the time. So many places to see.

1:40 am
medusa
Hi all. xx

1:42 am
Lizlin
We could meet in the middle.
1:42 am
sprite
that would be in the sea
1:42 am
grannyrose
hawaii looks nice, or tahiti
1:43 am
Lizlin
Not such a good idea then!
1:43 am
sprite
I could do hawaii :D
1:43 am
medusa
Well I would love to visit Sweden. All I need is to get passport sorted. Would only have to pay flights!

Lizlin
Lots of good food.
1:44 am
sprite
colleages of mine just came back from Iceland. They were wildly enthusiastic.
1:45 am
grannyrose
it would have to be towable so we could move it away from cyclones and hurricanes
1:45 am

1:45 am
sprite
good food and drinks, true. The best of beds too.
1:45 am
AnnaK

1:45 am
grannyrose
hey anna, wanna come with us to our island?
1:45 am
Lizlin

1:46 am
sprite
ohhhh yes medusa. We need a place with televisions, and good working raspberry Pis or something similar so we can watch all series/movies... space to put away our needle projects...
1:46 am
medusa
Well I would like the cooler side please. lol
1:46 am
sprite

1:46 am
Lizlin
Individually adjustable climate!
1:46 am

1:49 am
AnnaK

1:49 am
medusa
We got that covered Anna. I will bring my hundreds of books for us all to share.
1:50 am
Lizlin
Got to go and check out stuff in the oven. Hugs to all. Will be on babble briefly tomorrow - not a hope of finishing the grid unless it's tiny! Hugs to all :)

I don't try and get through the small holes in a blanket! lol
2:20 am
grannyrose

2:20 am
sprite
you pull thread through tiny holes in needles though
2:21 am
medusa
I have a crochet blanket on the sofa they have dug holes in and they like to lay underit. There is a huge hole they can get through but some they can only get their heads through. Those are the ones they try to get through!!!!!!!!!
2:22 am
grannyrose
and what's your point, medusa??
2:22 am
medusa
I am going to pull it out and reuse the yarn for smaller blankets when I have made them smaller ones.
2:22 am
sprite
it is a ploy to get you to pay attention to them, you know...
2:22 am

My dogs are stoopid! lol

2:27 am
medusa

2:27 am
medusa
Pleased he is feeling better now
2:28 am
grannyrose
the fresh lemon juice is boosting his immune system and the disprin are helping with the aches and pains.
2:28 am
medusa
Good. Flu is so tiring. Takes everything away from you.

3:35 am

I have more than half but nothing bigger than 6
3:36 am

I have 8 words, Ruby. Juts this second started.
3:36 am
Lizlin
Me neither and I have 180 words! Just not seeing the biggies!
3:36 am
mattygroves
I have one 7, one 8 and the 9 (but I only have the 8/9 combo thanks to Medusa asking earlier in the chat :)
3:36 am
mattygroves
The first half went very quickly! Tis an easier puzzle than yesterdays
3:48 am
rubyfoo
yay, finally sound a 7!
3:49 am

Nice one, Ruby! no higher than a 6 for me so far. found 51 words now.

Not too bad thanks, Ruby. I have a head cold so not affecting the throat so not as bad as it could of been. How are you keeping?
4:06 am
rubyfoo
I feel better this AM than I've felt in a long time
4:06 am
rubyfoo
I tried to stay up last night to Watch the debate, but only made it to 2:30 (it was on at 3)
4:06 am
zoozzoom
That is good to hear! Hope you have a nice fire going to keep you warm on these cold days.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
I know the C won't go awy, but I can manage like this!
4:07 am
rubyfoo
Yes, housekeeper comes andmakes the fire right away
4:08 am
zoozzoom
I watched the first one.. not live as they re show on the bbbc news channel through out the day anyway so no need to stay up. will watch the second one some time later.
4:09 am
rubyfoo
It's hard to imagine anyone still supporting that pig! Other Republicans seem to be headed for the hills!
4:11 am
zoozzoom
It must be very hard for the people of america if they do not like either of them to know which one to chose.
4:12 am
zoozzoom
America*
4:13 am
zoozzoom
Sorry for all these mistakes I am making.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I don't understand why they don't like Hillary. At least she's steady and not dangerous
4:14 am
rubyfoo
Trump, on the other hand, is very scary for the world. She just has a strident voice and a husband who is no help
4:14 am
rubyfoo
Bill says such dopy things
4:15 am
zoozzoom
He did bad things also.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
But he hurt no one
4:16 am
rubyfoo
Who cares about his peccadilos (sp?)
4:16 am
rubyfoo
and he didn't start a war
4:16 am
zoozzoom
It is like when the UK decided not to be in the EU I wanted to saty in but alas we are to come out. Not much I can do now but hope they come up with a plan that keeps the UK strong and competitive.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
I think the brexit is the fault of people who didn't bother voting and who are sorry now
4:18 am
rubyfoo
Since I'm here, I Watch BBC most of th time
4:18 am
zoozzoom
Yes I switch between two. BBc news 24 or sky news.
4:19 am
zoozzoom
Sky news can get annoying as they have far too many advert breaks.
4:19 am
rubyfoo
For me it's BBC and CNN. I don't get Sky on my satallite
4:20 am
mattygroves
The problem with everyone (this isn't a dig at you, Ruby) saying Clinton has a 'strident' voice is that it's a claim levelled almost entirely at women. Our voices (well, not mine so much - I've been mistaken for my partner on the phone - I have a smokers growl) are higher and we're taught to be apologetic and to defer - hence the habit of many women to speak as if every statement is a question. Often, when a woman raises her voice or is passionate, she sounds, to ears accustomed to men in powerful positions, shrill.
4:20 am
rubyfoo
same with CNN; they constantly advertise themselves -- very annoying!
4:20 am
rubyfoo
Absolutely, Matty.
4:21 am
rubyfoo
If she spoke in a softer voice, everybody would lean in. And lots of people don't want women in high positions.
4:22 am
rubyfoo
As for me, I think she's terrific!
4:23 am
mattygroves
Mind you, it's not only men who are (consciously or unconsciously) unwilling to accept a woman in power. We women are raised in the same society and so women can be (often unconsciously, though not always) as prejudiced as much as men are against women in positions of authority.
4:24 am
rubyfoo
I had the interesting position of being the only woman doing my particular job and though I had to be tough, I used it to my advantage.
4:24 am
zoozzoom
I personally can not see what the problem is with having women in a position of authority.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
I learned early in to deflect the sexism
4:25 am
rubyfoo
early on*
4:25 am
rubyfoo
and I'mnot sensitive
4:25 am
rubyfoo
<-- tough as nails!! lol
4:26 am
MollyL
I have no problem with a woman in a position of power. However, I will not vote for a person just because she is a woman.
4:26 am
zoozzoom
You are, Ruby. And I am glad of it too :-)
4:27 am
zoozzoom
No that was what I meant earlier, Molly, by saying what if the American people do not like either candidate.
4:27 am
mattygroves
I have the fr8/8 combo - does anyone have stats for the other 8?
4:27 am
rubyfoo
Of course now, Molly, but Hillary is certainly qualified even if she has made some mistakes. Trump is an embarrassing buffoon, unqualified, unpresidential and dangerous
4:28 am
zoozzoom
I have no 8s yet, Matty so no help from me. Sorry.
4:28 am
rubyfoo
me either, no 8's, no 9
4:28 am
MollyL
Qualified? Maybe. Someone I would vote for, no.
4:30 am
rubyfoo
You are very smart, Molly; I'd vote for you in a heartbeat!
4:33 am
rubyfoo
I would love to hear what you think!
4:34 am
Kallia
161 words andnothingabove a 6...morning all
4:34 am
rubyfoo
hello Kalia; I'm in the same boat but I have one 7
4:35 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Kallia :-) I am upto 134 words found and same here nothing higher than a six.
4:35 am
Kallia
the 7/8's are hiding well then :)
4:37 am
rubyfoo
Too well! The only 7 I have is a plural
4:37 am
MollyL
I won't get into a long thing about the why of it, but I don't think either of the nominated candidates would make a good President. Therefore, I will not endorse either of them with my vote.
4:39 am
zoozzoom
even though I know Enable does not accept satan or santa I still try and enter them lol how daft am I!
4:39 am

Actually don't answer that one LOL

Nope, close only counts in horseshoes. : D
4:46 am

stats pls, zzzz
4:48 am

4:48 am
zoozzoom
DO 6/24 and plural
4:48 am
zoozzoom
FA 7/56 compound word.
4:49 am
rubyfoo
my only one is so6 and plural
4:50 am
rubyfoo
I just found the 9 while looking for the fa7
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Ah is that an instrumental composition word, Ruby?
4:52 am
zoozzoom
The FA 7 I have does not PT which would of only made it an FA8 if it could of. so theFA 9 must be a different word.
4:53 am
mattygroves
The FA8 becomes a PT to make a 9. I don't have the FA7
4:53 am
rubyfoo
fa9 is what I did when I dreamed of finishing a grid! lol
4:54 am
zoozzoom
Oh thank you both..got them!

Hi Annie. If the Mets don't win, I root for the Red Sox
7:14 am
Anniebrook
Hi bichon, As a Yankee fan, I never root for the
Sox
7:16 am
bichon
I didn't know you were a Yankees fan. I always channel my late father. Dodgers fan until they left. Mets were it after that. No Yanks fans here. Don't watch baseball watching
7:18 am
Anniebrook
Well, I was born in Manhattan so I became a Yankee fan. I could have been a Giant fan but I liked the Yankees. AND they are still here.

I have been far too busy, so it is nice to be here and type in lots of words really fast.

Hi Scrabbs, so nice to see you
8:07 am
Scrabbler
I am thrilled to have sometime to be here, although I need to work on charts and housecleaning.

8:12 am
Scrabbler
Yes, our Buffalo Bills beat the Patriots last week but it was not the real Patriots without Tom.
8:19 am
bojazz
think the Bills need to pull Marv Leevy out of retirement...
8:20 am
Scrabbler
Marv was the best--so intelligent and such a great leader. Rex is a doofus.
8:20 am
bojazz
agree on both...
8:22 am

JUst like a parent, a coach needs to be a teacher and a leader.

i have the fa7/56, does that lead to the 8/9?
8:40 am
welki
i embraced technology as if it would do what it promised, but i think we had more time, more down time, more productive time, and a lot less stress when there were less electronic devices to 'help' us save time. we're so busy doing so many things at once, we forget to sit and catch our breath
8:41 am
Cosmo Kramer
no surefrad... 8/9 dont come from fa7/56

Gastroenteritis can last several days or more. Vomiting usually is 1-2 days and diarrhea is days to weeks. Probiotics are most important in addition to staying hydrated.

9:17 am
Scrabbler
Yes, for her that was a highlight.
9:18 am
Trifioso
I really love that about the age I work with - still one foot in the land of innocence, when meatloaf night is all it takes to bring on euphoria
9:18 am
MLFAN17
okay I have to ask, the food ro the musician?
9:18 am
Trifioso
sorry, mlf, I really am - she was all excited because she suddenly remembered it was meatloaf night - for dinner. and NOT the rocky horror kind
9:19 am
MLFAN17
that is funny :)
9:20 am
Trifioso
it was the totally innocent and joyous way she said it - it occurred to her, and she leapt out of her seat to proclaim it. it was SO cute

9:25 am
Trifioso

a very strange thing. I entered a ka4. I looked at my word list, and in amongst the ka words was the word 'word'. I refreshed and it changed to the word I had entered....

Darned computer crashed. It's less than 6 months odl and has been crashing regularly since the last windows 10 update :-(
3:14 pm
zoozzoom
Does not sound good, Glantarell.
3:15 pm
welki
ugh. can you reset it back to factory settings and see if starting from fresh might fix things?
3:15 pm
Glantarell
The reason I got a new one is because the previous one started doing this several times a night after the previous windows update.
3:15 pm

TY Zoom. Page isn't loading at the moment but I will look when it does. I did look on Microsoft help pages but didn't get much joy there.
3:20 pm
welki
when i searched for the error message, there were LOTS of references to it - but you have warranty left, so let the manufacturer fix it for you (for free)
3:20 pm
zoozzoom
Is your computer an Asus?
3:21 pm
Glantarell
Acer. The page has loaded now, Rolling back to an earlier windows build sounds like a good option.
3:22 pm
welki
(maybe i'm wrong in assuming that the repair/fix would be covered under warranty, since it's an operating system problem)
3:23 pm
Glantarell
I was thinking of emailing the company who sold it to me and asking advice. But I think thye would just point me in the direction of Microsoft...
3:24 pm
zoozzoom
I am not sure, Welki. you could well be right. the only problem i have with that is that it is an update from microsoft and not with the computer manufacor themselves.

Glantarell
The computer engineer who looked at the previous laptop that started doing this after an 'upgrade' told me the hard drive was corrupt. That one was 18 months odl, a HP. I changed it because I had never liked it much, and that was the final straw.
3:26 pm
zoozzoom
"igdkmd64.sys" is the Intel graphics driver, so it could be some kind of a GPU conflict.
3:26 pm
Glantarell
yes, I think so
3:27 pm
Glantarell
I will do a reset to before the update when I have finished babbling, and see how that works

This is a video on youtube about how to fix it. I suggest turning the sound down as the music on it is horrible.
3:32 pm
Glantarell
Thank you
3:33 pm
zoozzoom
But then I have wireless hi-fi speakers on my laptop as I listen to a lot of music and so it seemed loud it might not if you use the computer speakers :-)
3:34 pm
zoozzoom
I will leave you to it, Glantarell. If you are unsure on how to change things ..then get someone who knows about these things. i would hate to think you tried and it mucked it up even more. Happy babbling everyone.
3:34 pm
Glantarell
I never thought of YouTube. It looks like it's possible that the sound card driver may need updating following the windows update.
3:35 pm
Glantarell
I used to do all sorts of stuff with computers until about Windows 7, when it all got harder...
3:35 pm
zoozzoom
I thought it might be that as mine needed updating after the windows 10 anniversary update. all is fine again now though.
3:36 pm
zoozzoom
It can also be the graphics card that can need updating too.
3:37 pm
Glantarell
i hope not, it being so new...
3:37 pm
zoozzoom
Computers are great when they run smoothly. But a pain when things go wrong.
3:37 pm
Glantarell
unless that's another software update
3:38 pm
Glantarell
I hate that thye keep updating things, when everything is working fine as far as I am concerned!
3:39 pm
zoozzoom
Hope you get it sorted, Glantarell. I need to go to bed as I have a head cold and I seem very tired and want to try and get rid of it. ((Glantarelll))
3:39 pm
Glantarell
Night night Zoom, hope you feel better tomorrow
3:40 pm
Glantarell
and thanks for the help

this happened to my husband, glan - what he did was bought a hard drive for the laptop and a program to create a "ghost image," - it copies the entire hard drive over to the new one. but that was not on a brand new laptop, it was a couple of years old.
3:48 pm
welki
i'm hoping that your new laptop doesn't have a 'corrupt' hard drive, too - there's enough corruption going around these days :)
3:55 pm
Glantarell
Well, I have just reinstalled the driver so I hope that's the issue solved.
3:59 pm
welki
let us pray
4:00 pm
Glantarell
yes, and I won't know unless nothing happens, which is never reassuring LOL
4:02 pm
Glantarell
any clues for the un6/21 would be handy
4:02 pm
welki
if nothing happens, then it worked - if you don't subscribe to that theory, you'll be buying another laptop by week's end
4:03 pm

un6/21 - eject from a chair
4:03 pm
Glantarell
I am so sick of Microsoft, that if this laptop dies, I will probably invest in a Mac, even though I find them harder to use...
4:04 pm
Glantarell
doh, slap me with a fish. TY Welki, that's been driving me bonkers.
4:07 pm
welki
i have both, glan, and prefer my mac. only a little bit different than windows (better now than it used to be), but they're expensive. on the flip side, the first macbook i purchased in 2008 is still going strong (i use it as a back-up)
4:08 pm
Glantarell
I am sure I would adjust to using it. I just balk at paying twice the price. But if it lasts twice as long and is more reliable, I may well go down that route next.
4:09 pm
welki
*knock on wood* all my apple devices have served me well
4:10 pm
Glantarell
Everyone I know who has a Mac tells me how good they are. And I do love my iPad (just not for babbling)
4:10 pm
welki
heh - i still use one of the first iPads, it's got to be at least seven years old
4:12 pm
welki
you can configure your future mac to keep the cost down by eliminating what you don't need on it - you don't have to buy one 'off the rack'
4:13 pm
Glantarell
My first one was the second generation, it got stolen and the insurance company replaced it with a slightly smaller thinner one, which I don't like quite so much LOL even though it is higher spec. Last eyar's model.
4:13 pm
Glantarell
That's useful to know, Welki, thanks.
