Ah.. that's what happens when you have a real life. No matter, surely what you were doing was fun. Bit of a tick off though, when you think you are finished...

TraderKate

Hi rbud :)

12:43 am

rbud

just relocated my puter for the first time in like 10 years, took a while to make it happy again, haha

12:45 am

TraderKate

I need to do something here too. The wifi is terrible where it is, but it's such a PIA to move it.

12:45 am

12:47 am

rbud

yeah, took forever to sort the cords after all that time.

12:48 am

helensgirlkid

SORRY

12:48 am

rbud

and clean off all the crud

12:58 am

TraderKate

ugh..the crud :(

1:02 am

rbud

icky lil dust blobs... blew out the tower, it was needing it. I'd done that a few times, but never moved the whole works before. even the keyboard feels different, lol

1:04 am

TraderKate

Been picking away at it a bit here too. really need a second pairs of hands to move the whole shebang...the table it's on is solid butcher block and weighs a ton...

1:15 am

rbud

oh, my, that do4 sound like a two-person job. I left the table behind - it, too, is very heavy. On a smaller one now. Will let daughter take that one over for laundry, she seems thrilled. more power to her. :)

1:17 am

rbud

once we get all the umpty piles of paper and such cleared away, I had so much stuff gathered in between components, hard to believe. Notes, receipts, addresses, and on and on...

1:18 am

rbud

suppose I should at least go through it, and not just swoop it straight into the trash like I'd like to, hahaha!

1:18 am

TraderKate

a nice big table in laudry room for flding and sorting is a big help.
Got miost of the extraneous stuff gone.. but the dust etc is terrible. Turned my keyboard upside down and gave it a good shake... you wouldn

1:19 am

TraderKate

't believe all the stuff that came out... :/

1:20 am

TraderKate

going through bits of paper.. rainy afternoon task... keep receipts, yu never know

1:20 am

rbud

ohhhh, yes I would! just did the same. ended up vacuuming mine out. :P

1:22 am

TraderKate

I wanted to vacuum, but couldn't so had tu give it a shake... keys weren't working because the crud was stipping them from making the connection.. that's pretty bad...

1:24 am

flosey

I can't get lickety's clues up, can anyone suggest how I might?

1:25 am

TraderKate

click on background in list area and press T5

1:25 am

TraderKate

F 5...

1:26 am

TraderKate

(assuming refresh didn't work?

1:27 am

flosey

no luck!

1:27 am

rbud

the F5 button. yeah, I was going to say right-click and then chose reload or refresh

1:27 am

rbud

wow, it just started raining buckets here, hope the internet holds up

1:28 am

flosey

clicked on F5, nothing happened

1:29 am

TraderKate

you have to click yur cursor somewhere on the background n the list side before you press F5 flosey...

1:29 am

TraderKate

if that doesn't work, you may have gotten a "bad load" and suggest you close Babble Expert and reopen from the beginning

1:29 am

gapeach

Rbud are you close to Pittsfield?

1:30 am

TraderKate

Nef was getting a horrendous storm and raining cats and doge earlier...

1:33 am

rbud

I'm sort of near Peoria, IL, 175 miles S of Chicago or so. Local weather site says it's the leftovers of Alberto, may go on all night. :(

1:34 am

rbud

radar seems to support that, yuck

1:35 am

gapeach

I have siblings in Pittsfield and an aunt in Peoria. We, here in Georgia have had rain for the last l6 days.

1:36 am

TraderKate

ugh...when we get hurricaine remnants it goes on for days in a stationary circle until there isn't a drop of water in a cloud for 100 miles...

1:36 am

gapeach

Golly, Kate.

1:37 am

TraderKate

Sixteen days is enough to make anyone crazy - we had that here a while ago (and all last summer) lost my mind

1:37 am

TraderKate

It's weird here peach.. it's like the tail end of the storm gets to the Great Lakes and throws out the anchor!

1:38 am

gapeach

I guess that is one thing wrong with me.....after a while, I tend to be depressed. Not to the point of needing meds, just can't wait to have a sunny day.

1:44 am

rbud

aha, found pittsfield, west of springfield. new illinois town for me.

1:45 am

rbud

sort of looks like we're along the west edge of the mess, most of the worst looks to be passing off to the east

1:48 am

TraderKate

If I had to guess, I would say it gets worse as we age peach.. the grey never used to bother me , but now??? oh boy.especially the endless days of it.

2:19 am

gapeach

You are probably right, Kate. I guess it's ok if we (female canine) about it though.

2:25 am

TraderKate

with age comes some privilege peach. quite sure we have both paid out dues and are entitled to squawk a bit :D

2:27 am

gapeach

Yep!

2:28 am

gapeach

I do not like this grid. It doesn't flow smoothly (at least not for me). Are you doing well with it?

2:30 am

TraderKate

BWAhahaha... that's a big NOPE (free clue!)
Have exactly 100 found. been watching tv and halg-heartedly hunting. It is rather demoralising :(

2:33 am

gapeach

Tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day away.....that little red haired girl said so. HOWEVER, We have been predicted to have 8 more days of it. I suggest we continue to (female canine) on.

2:36 am

TraderKate

I'd say you were more than entitled. Afyer about three days I begine to lose it... by day sicteen, I would be ready for a murderous rampage ;)
(Poor you.. I hope it finishes sooner than 8 days hence...weather predictions are not great ling term for small areas - things can change quickly)

2:36 am

TraderKate

(Hate that perky little redhead and her silly song...)grouse, grouse, grumble, mumble, curse...)

2:37 am

gapeach

LOLOLOLOL

2:38 am

TraderKate

:/

2:39 am

TraderKate

(and you thought I was nice? ha!)

2:42 am

gapeach

I think we are both nice.....we just don't bother too much with all of the niceities (sp).

2:43 am

TraderKate

:D

2:47 am

TraderKate

jane will be happy.. there re wee horsies here :)

2:50 am

Hi zooz :)

Hello, TK :-)

3:11 am

zoozzoom

All okay here thanks, Peach. Hope all is good with you too!

3:12 am

gapeach

I'm ok just having to stay inside until this rain subsides. Take care.

3:13 am

zoozzoom

We have rain here on and off today too. Plants must be loving it. Tuck yourself up into bed and dream of nice things, Gapeach :-)

3:15 am

TraderKate

A group critter cuddle isn'ty a bad way to end the day, enjoy your time in the nest peach - hoping the weather lifts for you soon!

3:20 am

zoozzoom

Words do make me smile sometimes. Take PO 4/6 for example ; a pool of still water. Add two letters on the end and it becomes a word meaning to think deeply.

3:21 am

TraderKate

never co nsidered that before... you have deep thoughts today zooz :)

3:22 am

TraderKate

(currently trying to pluck the P words too )

3:22 am

1:16 pm

Haz1558

How many periods in the day - and does seventh mean you're nearly finished?

1:17 pm

Trifioso

it does indeed! seven periods a day, and then after school programs, when i am involved in them

1:18 pm

Haz1558

I take it you're covering for someone else - not easy when the children just want to get home?

1:18 pm

Trifioso

I am , but these kids are quite lovely. A good mix

1:18 pm

Haz1558

Oh well, that's good.

1:18 pm

Trifioso

I often cover this class, and it is a pleasure. very, very nice students.

1:19 pm

Haz1558

So you DO have the best life, or at least this period!

1:22 pm

Trifioso

Enjoy! It's an interesting grid today.

Hey Trif (((()))), and Hi Haz.... Long time so see :-)

1:26 pm

Haz1558

Hello Soodle. Enjoying the sunshine?

1:27 pm

Soodle

It's just glorious! My office phone is switched to the mobile & I'm basking!

1:27 pm

Soodle

How are you & yours?

1:27 pm

Haz1558

We're well, one daughter married, the other living and working in London. Just the two of us in the house, plus the dog.

1:28 pm

Haz1558

I think the good weather is very welcome after such a hideous winter. I thought I would never feel heat again.

1:29 pm

Haz1558

The summer clothes in the shops seemed to be mocking us for months.

1:29 pm

Soodle

Indeed. 4 months ago, we were under 3 ft of snow. Today it was 26 degrees!

1:29 pm

Haz1558

I couldn't be convinced I'd ever have anything light on again!

1:30 pm

Soodle

I remember your girls wedding.... More particularly that she came to Navan on honeymoon. That still tickles my funny bone!!

1:30 pm

ursh

1:30 pm

Haz1558

That was 2011. Can you believe it?

1:31 pm

ursh

oops sorry - but the P's are driving me crazy

1:32 pm

Soodle

Good Heavens! I even remember that lovely dress you wore, with the pretty little shrug. I hope they are well settled into marital bliss?

1:32 pm

Soodle

Hi Ursh :-)

1:32 pm

Haz1558

Yes, they're well settled, they complement each other.

1:34 pm

Soodle

Thats good. My 2 eldest are across the water. Sarah in Swindon & Paul recently bought a house in Kent. Both all loved up,.

1:35 pm

Haz1558

Buying a house in London is definitely not an option for Fiona - much too expensive and she spends money much too easily.

1:35 pm

Haz1558

Property prices are ludicrous.

1:35 pm

Soodle

(Translation:- 2 down, one to go....). Bring on the empty nest syndrome, I say!

1:36 pm

Haz1558

Empty nest isn't too bad. I've got used to it - not nearly so much laundry to do and the house stays tidy...

1:37 pm

Soodle

Well - the last remaining chick is due home soon, so I better get her food teady. Really nice to see you again Haz. Happy all is good in your world. Poof

1:38 pm

Haz1558

Bye, Soodle, enjoy the sun.

1:40 pm

Trifioso

if you dont tell anyone, I will admit that I rather miss my empty nest, now that the last fledgling is home....so much fuss when she is around! you met her soodle...the fiery one

1:41 pm

Haz1558

I'll tell nobody.

1:42 pm

Trifioso

thank! LOVE her, but she takes up a lot of "room"

1:42 pm

Haz1558

And time for me to go. Enjoy your day!
